Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

“Let’s take a picture of why we want to wander the earth first, in order.”

Gu Ming responded according to his own preferences, and then felt a little uncomfortable.

If you don’t do your job well, what should you do if you don’t have something to think about? Can't you cooperate with me to finish this film and then think about your film?

As soon as this idea appeared, Gu Ming's heart trembled.

Oh my god, I am becoming more and more inclined to hang street lights.

He reached out and touched his neck.

Gu Ming consoled him, "First, let's finish "Interstellar" with peace of mind, and then accumulate some experience, and then your film will be ready for production."

"Don't worry, there will be no shortage of money. As long as the cost does not exceed 100 million US dollars, I will support you."

Gu Ming really wanted to say give you the check and spend it as you please, but he didn't want to lose money.

If the "Wandering Earth" project is started at the end of next year, based on three years, the release will have to wait until the end of 2016. After all, it is the first time for Guo Fan to make such a film, and it may not be released until 17 years.

At this point in time, coupled with the core of "The Wandering Earth", the North American box office is out of the question, and the overseas box office is also strong enough.

You can’t spend too much money just relying on domestic box office.

With a cost of US$100 million, it would take a box office of upwards of US$1.5 billion to recover the cost.

Who can guarantee that it will have the box office of the previous life?

We can only control costs.

However, in Gu Ming's opinion, it is cost control, but in Guo Fan's opinion, it is heroic.

One hundred million!
Still a beautiful knife.

If it were given to him for living expenses, it would be more than he could spend in a lifetime.

Even for a movie, that’s enough.

You must know that the cost of his last movie was not even 20 million, it was still RMB.

If you don't have someone of Li Lian Lien's level, your directing fee won't be high.

This cost is similar to that of "Interstellar" and higher than that of "Gravity".

"Okay." Guo Fan was afraid that Gu Ming would regret it, so he immediately agreed. "Mr. Gu, you won't regret it, right?"

"What do you think? Even if you spend 100 million, I won't care. Just don't exceed it. Also, don't give me the entire circle's ledger."

"Hi, Mr. Gu, you are the producer." Guo Fan said with a smile, "I am just the director."

"Well, keep working." Gu Ming's capitalist nature was out of control and he didn't want his employees to take a break, otherwise they would always feel like they were losing money, so he urged them and started working together.

……

On Saturday, Gu Ming took a short vacation for himself, left the child with his parents, and enjoyed their world with Yan Danchen at home.

Watching TV in boredom afterwards.

I watched a skit coming up, "Today's Happiness".

Seeing what the military art school official above looked like, Gu Ming straightened up immediately.

"Huh? What's wrong? Have you seen this sketch too?" Yan Danchen asked.

"What do you mean I've seen it too?" Gu Ming raised his eyebrows.

I've seen it a dozen times in my previous life, okay?

However, it seems that this is the first time in my life that I have seen it.

People are too busy to watch TV at all.

"It was broadcast on the Spring Festival Gala this year. You were in Los Angeles. I thought you hadn't seen it. This skit was quite interesting."

"Especially this Hao Jian, he has quite a talent for comedy."

"Yes." Gu Ming nodded.

At first I watched Zhao Lilong and Chen Peisi in the Spring Festival Gala, and then I watched Ben Shan in the Spring Festival Gala. After Ben Shan quit, I just waited to watch him.

It's just that it started to look more and more like a model show later on. The skit always had to be sublime towards the end, and it was obviously not as good as the beginning. I had thought about him before, but I always felt that his comedy talent needed to be honed, and he was too anxious to eat hot tofu, but now he seems to be able to play!
Don't miss this comedy show.

Gu Ming was too lazy to check whether there were tickets or not, so he called Li Sisi, "Contact Happy Twist and see if you can come to Daystar Theater to perform a show, preferably the latest movie, preferably one you haven't acted in before. Reserve the venue.”

After hanging up the phone, Yan Danchen gave Gu Ming a thumbs up, "My behavior just now was exactly the same as those coal bosses, rich locals."

"Hey, it doesn't cost much. One million is a big mark. I can make at least ten million a day, right? So what else can I save?"

"As a rich person, you must have the consciousness of a rich person and consume it to stimulate economic growth."

"Stop pretending." Yan Danchen curled his lips, "You must be a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking."

"Huh? How do you know?" Gu Ming smiled, "That's true. I want to buy Happy Mahua."

"What is your relationship with this Hao Jian?"

"As for the company behind him, it's a stage play company, and it's running quite well." Gu Ming said, "I think it can complement Daystar's film and television business."

After all, comedy is a relatively low-cost type, has high box office, and is related to the film and television industry. If you don't interfere with it, you will be sorry for your status.

……

I don’t know if my identity is useful or if my money is useful.

Anyway, the booking of the venue was quickly settled.

Happy Twist is also in the capital, close to water and terraces, and everything is convenient. It will open in a week.

Gu Ming and Yan Danchen chose two good seats to watch the performance.

The performance was a play that they were still rehearsing and did not face the audience. Because of Gu Ming's strong request, they moved it out to meet these two special audiences.

It was "Charlotte" that made Shen Teng an instant hit in the film industry.

Reborn in the past, copied songs and became a boss.

A very web-like setting.

It is also a setting that makes Gu Ming feel more friendly. Of course, except for Qiu Ya's cheating, this is quite unfriendly.

It was Yan Danchen's first time watching this, and he was so amused that he burst into laughter. And Gu Ming, it wasn't his first time watching this, and he was also laughing from ear to ear.

Shen Teng's acting does have an indescribable sense of humor.

After watching it, the two of them were about to leave. A middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses came over and said, "Mr. Gu, welcome. It is our honor that you can book the theater to watch our Happy Twist drama in person."

"Hello, I heard that you have a good reputation. Come and have a look."

"Would you like to meet the actors? They regard you as their idol."

"Okay."

"Please." Gu Ming chatted with him while following him to the backstage.

This man’s name is Zhang Cheng, the owner of Happy Twist.

And what a coincidence, his major has nothing to do with the film and television industry. It is an urban construction major at Beijing University of Architecture and Architecture.

"Then you've gone a long way across the line."

"Hey, I didn't realize it as I was doing it. Now I think I might be able to make it into the film industry."

"Adapting your Happy Twist stage play into a movie? It's a good idea. Are you interested in collaborating?"

"What kind of cooperation method?" Zhang Cheng's eyes lit up. After he learned that Gu Ming was going to watch a special performance, he came here specially to meet him. Isn't it just for this matter?
"You are still in charge of Happy Twist. Daystar will invest 80% of the shares. From now on, it will not be a problem to turn it into a movie."

"My morning star is somewhat famous in the film and television industry."

"Can I think about it for a few days?"

"One month." Gu Ming was equivalent to setting a deadline.

If you are willing, then everyone will be happy.

If you don't want to, don't blame me for poaching people. The current market value of Happy Mahua is only one or two billion. It won't cost much to hollow it out, leaving him with an empty shell in the end.
