Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

"It's okay, I'm fearless!"

Han Sanpin said, "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?" "For the development of domestic science fiction films, I am duty-bound!"

"Okay, my director's remuneration is based on the market price." Since I can't make more, I can only recover the income from other places. Anyway, I don't like to invest in my own movies.

As for the so-called market price.

"Based on the results of my several films, double 20, 20 million US dollars plus 20% box office share."

"A share of the North American box office?"

"Isn't this a domestic film? The domestic box office is divided." Considering that the starring role of the film I made is Chinese, how can the North American box office be as high as the domestic box office for this kind of film?

Moreover, the North American box office of "Interstellar" in the previous life was not very high. Of course, I chose the one that was most beneficial to me.

Money, who doesn’t like it?

"Haha." Han Sanpin laughed, "Just kidding, we have 15 million, accounting for 10% of the share."

"Okay." This share was acceptable to Gu Ming.

"Then your salary."

"Forget it, it's 20 million US dollars." As for the share, Daystar is in control, plus distribution and theaters, it's enough.

Of course, it wasn't that Gu Mingliang realized that he was actually doing it for his own reputation.

The reputation of the undefeated myth cannot be lost.

The cost of "Interstellar" is US$150 million. According to the experience of "Gravity", an overrun of US$10 to 20 million is a minor problem.

Domestic distribution fees also cost money.

If you calculate it this way, the domestic production and distribution costs will be 1.2 billion.

To recoup the cost, it costs 2.7 billion. After all, it is expected to be released in one or four years, so there is a lot of pressure!

Yes, there is also foreign income and so on.

But others also have to pay a 60% premium, and they still have to wait for several years.

If I want to take another 20% share, other investors will have to wait until they can’t get their money back.

Reputation has an impact.

Gods cannot bleed. Once the blood bar lights up, death is not far away.

It's not a matter of life or death, but the impact is not small.

"I'm sorry for you." Han Sanpin only felt that Gu Ming didn't want to share the money, and partly because everyone was Chinese.

Otherwise, someone would vote for a share of the money.

Some people are even willing to pay a 100% premium or even higher, but they have been blocked by Gu Ming and have not exceeded 60% so far.

"Hey, why bother? It's just a small amount of money."

"..." Han Sanpin originally wanted to express a few words of emotion, but looking at Gu Ming, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

The entertainment industry I am in, not to mention the influence of other radiations, just talking about the money, it is really a small amount of money.

The Internet is developing too fast.

If the calculation is correct, Gu Mingguang Penguin's shares are worth tens of billions of dollars.

If you are so rich, you still have to work hard to make movies.

Han Sanpin also had to say, "You have made a great contribution to the development of our domestic film market and to resisting the invasion of Hollywood. Among other things, you have made a great contribution to regaining our box office championship!"

"There are still about ten world paintings. 1.8 billion is no problem. You have set a new record. I don't know when it will be broken next." "The year after tomorrow." Gu Ming said.

"Why the year after tomorrow?"

"Because my new movie will be released the year after next." Gu Ming made a small joke.

"Hahaha." Han Sanpin slapped the table and laughed. "You, this is a wonderful answer, so domineering."

"Hey, I'm just telling you this. When it comes to release, I need your full support. This film may be a bit long. Other films have been shown twice, but this one may have just been released."

"Isn't this nonsense? By the way, are our domestic actors the crew members on the spaceship?" Han Sanpin asked.

"No, I have to use some here and some there. After all, domestic box office alone cannot support such a large investment."

"I understand, I understand. Then you should pay more attention in the future. Just reading the script, I feel that this film will definitely become a science fiction masterpiece in people's hearts. Make it well."

"Don't worry, I promise to complete the mission." Gu Ming raised his chin, with the image in his head, and having filmed "Gravity", he still had this confidence.

After coming out of Han Sanpin's place, Gu Ming made phone calls one after another and spread the news about the financing of the new film to his old friends who often collaborated with him.

After all, they were old friends, so Gu Ming made it clear to them. The ugly words were coming from the front. The investment was huge and it would not be easy to get back the money.

Whether you spend more or less is entirely voluntary and never forced.

but……

Everyone took Gu Ming's words as a courtesy.

"Gravity" has just achieved such great success that the domestic box office will be able to recoup the cost. Although they bought it at a premium and have to wait for foreign income, it is no problem to make a lot of money.

And not only did he make money, he also earned fame.

After all, you can’t vote for a film of this caliber just because you want to.

Now there is another science fiction film. Do you think it is difficult to make money? When I graduate from elementary school?
Therefore, even if it is a 60% premium, everyone still eats it.

Gu Ming had to mediate for a while to ensure that everyone's share would not exceed 100%.

In the end, a few old friends invested a total of US$120 million and accounted for 50% of the share, and Wanda's family accounted for 20%.

In addition to China Film's 15 million, Daystar invested 15 million US dollars to hold 40% of the shares.

If you plan your money well, you will be a human being.
The royal team includes Guo Fan.

No way, who makes this assistant director and producer easy to use? He also works hard in making science fiction films, so it is natural to use him more often.

You have to draw a big cake for it.

"It will take at most two years. After filming is completed, you can start preparing for "The Wandering Earth" that you have been thinking about. When the time comes, I will be the producer myself."

Under the temptation of this carrot, and because it was just a "Gravity", he, an amateur director who started out in youth films, was a little unsure after all, so he happily accepted Gu Ming's pie.

Then Gu Ming immediately assigned a task to him, "The audition is for a little girl around ten years old and a boy around fifteen or sixteen years old. The face shape is required to be longer like Li Lianlian's, to make it more lively."

For this excitement, Gu Ming was even prepared, even if it was acceptable to find an amateur between the two roles.

When an ordinary person becomes an important character in his new film, everyone will feel more involved.

It feels like becoming famous instantly.

If that doesn't work, you can still vote in the bib, so that everyone will feel more involved.

Anyway, whoever you want to use will be the champion, and everyone will win.

If your voting button is smoking, you can't compare to asking the programmer to make a small modification!
"Hey, I've fallen, I've fallen." Gu Ming punished himself with three cups of tea, and decided to do so anyway.
