Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

"The situation is good! When is it planned to be released?"

Han Sanpin pushed a cup of tea to Gu Ming, "To be honest, I think this film may break the box office record of Avatar!"

"Don't forget that "Avatar" was released last year, but now it's almost two years since "Avatar" was released!"

"In the past two years, the number of movie theaters in our country has increased, wow!"

"It's almost doubled in two years, haven't you noticed? In 2009, how many movies could have a box office of over 500 million a year? Now it's almost out of the ordinary!"

"Lao Gu, I think if this continues, it's not impossible that our domestic ticket holdings will surpass those of the United States as you mentioned!"

As he said that, Han Sanpin could no longer suppress the corners of his mouth.

I think when he first took over China Film Group, there were few directors in the country who could make commercial films.

Being suppressed by Hollywood.

Feng Pants, who can earn 30 million yuan at the box office every time he makes a movie, is a real treasure.

What now?
Don’t say 30 million.

Even if it's 300 million, you'd be embarrassed to say you're a great director.

If there is no 500 million upwards, it will not show any style at all.

This is especially true for movie theaters. Movie theaters are dying one after another, and some theaters are even forced to show some unsightly movies.

Wherever it is now, every movie theater is open, and it is prosperous.

After a quick calculation, Han Sanpin feels that when he retires, he will have made an outstanding contribution to the domestic film industry. His merits will definitely outweigh his faults!

Pass……

The memory of "The Promise" suddenly came to his mind.

"what!"

With a long sigh, Han Sanpin continued to ask, "Tell me, when is it planned to be released?"

"In order to get enough box office, I have no choice but to do it in mid-December." Gu Ming took out the calendar and looked at it, "Just the 16th. As for the United States, wait until I ask about the filming. Let's take a look there. Are there any strong opponents? If so, try to stagger them."

After all, this film is equivalent to Li Bingbing's one-man show.

Actresses are not good at box office, let alone Chinese actresses.

Even though he is still somewhat famous, the leading actor Daniel Craig is now at the height of his popularity, so Gu Ming can only be careful.

"By the way, I won't encounter any strong opponents here, right?" Gu Ming tilted his head and looked at Han Sanpin.

"Don't worry, it won't happen!"

"I will arrange Hollywood blockbusters elsewhere. As for domestic films..."

"Didn't you realize that a few movies haven't been scheduled yet?"

"I'm waiting to see when your "Gravity" will be released, so I can avoid it. The only one that might compete with you is Feng Pants' "Feng Cheng You 2", but it's a comedy, so it should be It doesn't have much impact on you, right?" Han Sanpin asked tentatively, and then immediately expressed his position, "How about I talk to the Wang brothers and let them change the time?"

"Forget it, that's it."

Anyway, for a 2D comedy, it's enough that my own "Gravity" can take up the entire 3D screen.

Besides, if I remember correctly, "If You Are the One 2" has a mediocre reputation, and its box office is only slightly better than "1" three years ago.

If you can't affect the overall situation, you might as well act more generously, so as not to make others feel that you are overbearing!

Daystar is already big enough now. If he appears a little more domineering, he will easily become the target of public criticism. Even if other companies can't help him, then there is still...

Gu Ming looked up at the ceiling.

I am not a high-tech manufacturing company.

Don't mess with me, don't mess with me!

"What are you looking at?" Han Sanpin also looked at the ceiling curiously.

"immortal."

"Oh, what you said is quite mysterious!" "Okay, now that you have confirmed the screening time, I will go and arrange it." Han Sanpin stood up, smiled and waved his hand, and then clenched his fist, " Try to keep "Avatar" alive! As our domestic box office champion, it would be better for films produced by domestic film and television companies to occupy this position!"

……

After Han Sanpin left, Gu Ming called Sophia and asked her if she was going to be on the North American Christmas schedule.

Those series that are regulars on the box office charts, such as Harry Potter, Transformers, Pirates of the Caribbean, and the Fast and Furious series, have already been released.

but……

It is impossible to have no rivals in the Christmas season.

"Mission: Impossible 4" will be released on December 12, and there will also be a Sherlock Holmes movie starring Robert Downey Jr.

Recall that these two movies were worth $200 million, which is not much higher.

It won’t crowd out other Christmas movies.

You can go!
"By the way, let's release Manchester by the Sea at this time."

It's really a bit inappropriate to show this kind of film on Christmas.

But who makes releasing it at this time most conducive to the Olympics?

And I didn’t have much expectations for its box office.

Having two of his own films together helps people not to pay too much attention to the box office performance of "Manchester by the Sea".

……

After the filming of "Gravity" in the United States is also finalized.

On December 12, news of the simultaneous release in China and the United States appeared in reports from major domestic media.

Many tap water companies are also taking the trouble to post this news on the Internet.

For a time, there was a huge uproar.

Everyone is looking forward to the release of the first science fiction blockbuster produced by a domestic company.

After watching the trailer, two old classmates, Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei, actually followed each other and found Gu Ming, "We are here to watch the movie. By the way, I want to learn from you. What are the precautions for the production of 3D movies?" You can’t hide anything!”

"Haha, I know everything I can say without saying anything!"

The 3D films they shot were all produced by their own company.

The higher the quality of the finished film, the more you earn.

What else is there to hide?

They were immediately called to the screening room and screened again.

While showing the film, he explained some things that went into making the film.

After showing it three times, Gu Ming finished everything he wanted to say.

The two people who listened nodded repeatedly.

"I almost want to make a science fiction film!" Gu Changwei said with emotion.

"I think at our age, we should not have such unrealistic ideas." Zhang Yimou looked at Gu Changwei and sighed, "As we get older, this kind of science fiction film is still the world of young people!"

"Hey, why don't I just talk about it." Gu Changwei smiled, "I'm good at making my own action movies. I can rest on my laurels, worry less, and don't have to take risks."

"By the way, you must invite us when your film premieres."

"Haha, that's for sure!"

……

time flies.

In a blink of an eye, November 12rd arrived.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, in the Morning Star Cinema in Beijing, this science fiction movie, which has been in preparation for three years and has been making a lot of noise, finally came to the moment to face the audience! (End of chapter)
