Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Of course, that is the last option.

If possible, Gu Ming doesn't want to do something that sounds a bit damaging to his reputation. The best way to make money by being friendly is to say hello to me and everyone to hello.

As long as you are willing to sell, it doesn't matter if you spend a little more money.

After the acquisition, I earned dozens of times more than the extra money I spent.

The two fell into an eerie silence until they came backstage and saw the actors performing "Charlotte's Trouble."

"You guys did a great job, and the story is pretty good too." Gu Ming smiled at everyone and nodded.

"Oh, that's an award. Compared with your storytelling ability, Director Gu, we are just showing off in front of Guan Gong." Two men under thirty years old, one with long hair and one with short hair, smiled and shook hands with Gu Ming excitedly. He raised his hand.

"Yan Fei."

"Peng Da Mo." Two names that often appear in front of movies.

I'm afraid no one could have imagined that the two of them were so young.

"Chen Teng." Shen Teng smiled with wrinkles, "Director Gu, I like you very much and like every one of your movies."

"But you don't know why, but you feel like you've been living in my shadow?" Gu Ming responded with a smile.

Then, both of them laughed "hahaha", "Director Gu, you are so funny."

"You are more humorous. I think you have the talent to become the new king of comedy after Zhou Xingxing. Come on, I'm optimistic about you." Gu Ming patted Shen Teng on the shoulder.

This sentence is true, and it is also to put some pressure on Zhang Cheng. If you don't agree, it depends on whether the liquidated damages you give employees are high enough.

Man, I am determined.

Zhang Cheng thought about it for a week, then called Gu Ming and agreed.

Then the rest is a matter of price.

Gu Ming left it directly to the people below to discuss it, and once again devoted himself to "Interstellar".

This film was more difficult to shoot than "Gravity", so Gu Ming had to put in more energy.

Fortunately, he planned to take a break for a year and a half after the film was released, so Gu Ming was full of energy.

……

A month later.

Daystar's investment in Happy Twist has been finalized.

Invested 150 million, accounting for 80% of the shares.

Part of this money will be used for the production of "Charlotte Trouble", Happy Twist's first film in the film and television industry.

"Mr. Gu, we, Happy Mahua, actually know nothing about film and television production. We are completely out of industry. We hope that the head office can provide full support."

It’s nice to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

Now that we have arrived under the big tree, Zhang Cheng naturally wants to promote the movie version of the drama "Happy Twist" as soon as possible.

After all, there are still fewer people watching stage plays, but more people watch movies. To put it elegantly, it can bring happiness to more people. Be vulgar and make more money.

If the carrot hadn't been so fragrant, he wouldn't have chosen to let Venus become a shareholder and become a small shareholder himself.

"Don't worry, if you need anyone, come to Venus and find them. I'll ask them to fully cooperate."

"Besides, I can put my name as a producer, so you can rest assured, right?" Gu Ming used his trump card.

Zhang Cheng immediately felt at ease. Even if he was not involved in the film industry, he was just an outsider and knew that Gu Ming's name was a quality inspection certification. It was equivalent to a century-old brand, and the audience just liked it.

Besides, even if the audience doesn't recognize it, Daystar Cinemas, the largest theater chain in the country, does. Thinking about it, they have to give face to the film produced by the big boss. The scheduling issue that many movies worry about is no longer a problem.

In addition, most of the actors in the "Charlotte Troubles" to be produced are happy twists, there are no special effects, and the cost is not high, which is 20 million.

Zhang Cheng seemed to have seen a bright future in which Happy Twist would recover its costs and even become an instant hit. However, people's hearts are always not enough. Zhang Cheng couldn't help but asked tentatively, "Director Gu, are you willing to direct? If you direct, you can get a salary of 20 million US dollars."

"I can't guide." Gu Ming refused without even thinking about it.

Not to mention 20 million US dollars, even if it were doubled, I wouldn't be tempted at all.

Now to make a pure comedy would be a bit lowering my style.

Unless it's something like "The Intouchables" or "Green Book", you can consider it.

"Okay, just give up this idea." In order to prevent the other party from thinking that he was bargaining, Gu Ming emphasized this sentence.

"Okay, what do you think of the actors there?"

"I'll give it a try. I'll be a little tired while I write the script for you." It doesn't take much time anyway.

Among the happy twist movies in his previous life, Gu Ming's favorite was "Charlotte", and every supporting character is still fresh in his memory.

"Your name is Charlotte, you are so arrogant."

"From now on I call you brother, and you call me dad. What are you looking for, brother? Come and help you find it."

Words popped up in Gu Ming's mind one by one.

Gu Ming didn't want those pictures to change too much.

Not to mention the actors, Charlotte and Qiu Ya. Yuan Hua, Zhang Yang, Meng Tejiao, oh, and Teacher Wang, played by Tang Wei's ex-boyfriend Tian Yu, I really can't bear to replace them.

"Okay, it will be done within a week. Come and get it then."

"Okay." Zhang Cheng retreated.

……

Next, Gu Ming spent the evening writing down the script of "Charlotte's Trouble".

As the first reader, Yan Danchen laughed while reading.

"You are also so good at writing comedy. You are such a versatile person. I will write more scripts like this in the future. I will have pictures in my head."

"By the way, let me ask you something." Yan Danchen said with a smile, "Charlotte traveled back in time to 1997 to copy songs, and you made movies in 1997. Aren't you another Charlotte?"

"Hahaha." Gu Ming was amused, "Your brain is so good, you can become a screenwriter."

"If you go back in time, can you remember so many movies?" Nonsense, if I hadn't been paralyzed for so many years, I wouldn't be able to guarantee that I would be able to do this.

"I can not remember."

"That's it."

"So what I am today depends on my talent and hard work, Gu Ming."

Dark blue, add me...

Ahem, it’s a conspiracy.

"Well." Yan Danchen stared at Gu Ming with eyes full of admiration and love, "Your talent is indeed terrifying."

As he spoke, Yan Danchen patted the script with emotion, "I thought it was an exaggeration when you said that Shen Teng would become the next Star of the Week before, but now I think it is possible."

"After all, you are supporting me. I have a feeling that Shen Teng will become a big hit once this movie comes out."

"You don't have to say that." Gu Ming rolled his eyes and continued writing the script.

What Gu Ming didn't expect was that when he got busy, people who wanted to make movies would come over one after another.
