Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Among them was a person who had been an actor before.

Wu Jing.

"Director Gu." Wu Jing's eyes turned into a smile, "Sorry to bother you, I have something to discuss with you."

"Do you want to be a director and make movies?"

"Ugh."

"Do you have a script?" Gu Ming looked at his right hand and said, "Bring it to you."

"Hey!" Wu Jing hurriedly handed it over.

I looked down and saw that there was no name, but there was a name named Dong Qiong in the screenwriter column, "Is this the platinum writer of my Singularity? His name is Fenwu Enchantress."

"Yes, the military novels he wrote are pretty good." Wu Jing nodded, and seeing Gu Ming starting to read the script, he sat back on the sofa, looking nervous.

In fact, he was more nervous in his heart than on the surface.

After all, he has never been a director before, and there are very few military action films of this kind in China.

Not to mention that the cost of this film will certainly not be low.

He was mentally prepared. If Gu Ming refused and couldn't find investment elsewhere, he would mortgage the house. The money he had earned over the years would be enough.

but……

There is another question.

If Gu Ming refuses, will he still take the photo? A movie that even Gu Ming doesn't like, why should he lose his pants?

Thinking of this, Wu Jing was afraid that Gu Ming would reject it, so he couldn't help but said, "I estimated this film to be about 70 million. I can also pay for it, 5, no, squeeze, 60 million."

You only put out 10 million, so you can always take a risk, right?
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Ming's face was straight. "When word spread, people thought that Venus had no money. If one of my own artists wanted to make a film, they would have to let the other party squeeze them in."

"Besides, is that a squeeze? If I'm not mistaken, the house also needs a mortgage, right?"

"Yes." Wu Jing nodded.

"That's alright, we've all invested 70 million in Daystar." Gu Ming slapped the table and made a decision directly, leaving no room for doubt.

After reading two pages, he knew that this was not "Wolf Warrior".

If you voted big, how could I have the nerve to vote for "Wolf Warrior II"?
I also want to look good.

Besides, "Wolf Warrior" is also a movie that can make a lot of money, at least 100% profit.

There is no need to let it go!
Wu Jing didn't know Gu Ming's psychological activities. At this moment, there were only two words in his mind, "All in!"

Oh my goodness!

"Thank you so much."

Wu Jing stood up immediately and stretched out his hands to shake Gu Ming's hand, "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much."

"You are willing to invest 70 million to make a movie without even reading the script. I don't know how to thank you enough."

"Making a good movie is the greatest thank you to me." Gu Ming patted the other party's arm, "Let go of me first. I will decide whether to be a producer after reading the script."

"Hey, look." Wu Jing almost burst out laughing when he heard that Gu Ming might be the producer.

Gu Ming is in the producer column, what is that?
It's comparable to a recommendation, worth at least 50 million box office.

After a rough scan, it was confirmed that the plot was similar to that of "Wolf Warrior" in the previous life. Gu Ming smiled and said, "Do you mind if I become a producer?"

"I don't mind too much. It's a warm welcome."

"Okay, let's sign the contract. I'll send you the down payment so that we can prepare as soon as possible."

Send Wu Jing away.

Obviously the filming of "Wolf Warrior" has not been completed yet, but Gu Ming couldn't help but think of "Wolf Warrior II".

This film can really be said to be an epoch-making film in China.

However, for the sake of box office, the release time of this film must be chosen well. If it weren't for a certain phenomenon that stirred up the audience's emotions, this film would never have reached that level. It suddenly raised the domestic box office record by 2.4 billion.

This kind of opportunity must be grasped.

……

The investment in "Wolf Warrior" is actually not large within Daystar.

But who gave Gu Ming a name as a producer?

And the director of this film is an actor-turned-director.

It’s still different from the previous life. In his previous life, Wu Jing had an unsuccessful film called "Spike", but in this life, he is a proper new director.

In addition, Gu Ming had previously been cast in the artist-turned-director's "囧", so some reporters went to the China Film Studio to block Gu Ming.

"Director Gu, you first voted for actor-turned-director Xu Zheng's "囧", and now "囧" has not even been released yet, so you have voted for another one. Have you not thought about profitability?"

"Since I have already invested, I won't worry about this. I trust my eyes." Gu Ming pointed to his own eyes, "There is only a question of how much profit there is, not whether it is profitable or not."

"Then how much does Director Gu think the two films can add up to?"

"One billion." Gu Ming gave a number that was as conservative as possible.

"Wow." The reporters whispered.

"Director Gu, did you know? Including Hollywood movies, this number was enough to enter the top ten domestic box office last year. Even this year, it should be able to enter. Do you still stick to what you just said?"

"Of course." Gu Ming smiled, "I like to bet with reporters the most. How about we bet one dollar?"

"Okay, I'm betting." The reporter was obviously prepared and immediately took out a coin. "If I lose, I will give you this dollar."

"Don't." In order to prevent others from thinking that I was short of a dollar, Gu Ming said, "donate him." In order to avoid reporters making a fuss about this matter.

"What if you lose?"

"I'll donate too. How about donating 100 million?" Gu Ming thought it was a good publicity stunt.

It is possible that some people will not buy a ticket in order to allow themselves to donate money.

So I immediately added, "If I win, I will donate 200 million."

Gu Ming had no qualms about spending an extra 100 million.

My wealth has skyrocketed. Even if nothing happens, I donate hundreds of millions every year.

Just think of it as a donation in advance.

Not only can you promote your film, but you can also promote yourself.

After all, after being the richest man for so many years, it is always right to promote yourself as a little bit more kind.

"Okay, it's a deal!" The reporter high-fived Gu Ming.

Then, the bet was publicized.

It caused quite a stir online.

Netizens said one by one that as long as the movie is not too bad, Gu Ming will donate the 200 million yuan.

On this day, Gu Ming was at Venus when the phone rang. It was Gao Yuanyuan calling.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"I can't look for you if I have nothing to do. You haven't seen me for a long time."

"Didn't you film movies before?"

"Isn't the filming finished?" Gao Yuanyuan said, "By the way, I recently saw that your 200 million bet online was quite popular."

"I also want you to donate 200 million to me." Gao Yuanyuan's voice became seductive, "Hurry up, the sooner the better."
