Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 414 Dig a hole

However, after deciding to produce these three online dramas, Gu Ming realized something.

This is a drama that men love to watch!

"Ghost Blows Out the Lantern" and "Soul Ferry" may be both popular, but they are also popular among male netizens.

There is still a lack of a love drama that women would like to watch.

Daystar pioneered the trend of youth movies in mainland China.

If you don't come up with a love web drama, how dare you say that you are a web drama producer?
Well, the main thing is that more girls like to watch dramas.

If you catch women, you catch clicks.

Pointing his index finger at his head, Gu Ming's head started to spin rapidly.

First of all, this is a web drama, so the investment cannot be too large for the time being!

"Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is a movie that will serve as a precursor, and it can even serve as a warm-up for the remaining sequel movies. It doesn't hurt to spend 100 million, but if it costs that much to create a love drama that women will love to watch, Gu Ming won't care. Love is done.

Think about it.

I picked up one from the web drama of my previous life, "The Year in a Hurry".

Not only can you make a fortune by filming a web drama, but if the web drama becomes popular, you can make another fortune by making a movie!
Kill two birds with one stone.

"That's it. It just so happens that Nine Nights is the focus of Venus. As soon as the novel comes out, it will buy the film and television adaptation. Whether it will be filmed is another matter. Saving it can be regarded as an asset.

After distributing the production of these four online dramas, Gu Ming doesn't even want to use them to film them.

I still have my own job.

The company is such a big company, and the post-production of "Interstellar" also has to be watched.

Nowadays, except for some movies that are also expected to be successful, Gu Ming doesn't bother to care at all.

And in these movies.

Xu Zheng's new movie is definitely worthy of Gu Ming's attention.

So, after he called and wrote a new script with himself, Gu Ming made an appointment with him to go to Daystar the next day.

"Mr. Gu, long time no see!"

"Long time no see." Gu Ming shook hands with him, "Why is there no news about the new work? It's been almost a year and it's finally out?"

"Hey, Mr. Gu, I can't compete with you!" Xu Zheng smiled awkwardly.

"Every one of your films is better than the last. No matter how high the box office is, your mentality is still very stable."

"I can't do it. I'm a TV actor and have acted in movies, but I'm definitely not a front-line actor. It's so hard for me to make the first film "Thailand" which has such a high box office. How can I dare to immediately invest in the next one? !”

"I'm panicking. What if the next one doesn't do as well as expected at the box office? Why don't I just put an end to my directorial career that I finally crossed the threshold with your support, Mr. Gu?"

"Don't worry so much, you are still very talented!" Gu Ming told the truth.

Xu Zheng's biggest problem is not his talent, but his character.

If you are like Wang Baoqiang, you are not afraid of anything.

But it's too philistine, and that's the problem.

What’s even more frightening is that when the theater chain was in the saddest time, you turned around and sold all the theater chains.

That film made a lot of money, yes.

What can happen later?

Don’t you want to make movies anymore?
How to face each other?

It’s not like the current movie market lacks Qin Xu butchers, so we have to eat pigs with hair on them.

Without the appeal of Feng Pants more than ten years ago or Zhang Yimou ten years ago, they would dare to do this.

Anyway, Gu Ming would not do this now.

"Mr. Gu, thank you." Xu Zheng didn't know that Gu Ming already had so many ideas in his mind. He smiled and handed the script over with both hands, "This is my new script "囧", do you want to take a look?"

"Hong Kong is embarrassing." Gu Ming opened the script and after reading a few pages, his heart became cold. Logically speaking, taking photos in exotic places is more attractive.

Xu Zheng chose Hong Kong Island.

I heard that he and Dong Ping are getting closer and closer.

It seems that just like in the previous life, he wants to use "囧" to harvest retail investors.

Alas, we have finally come to this point.

It's time to part ways with him.

What Gu Ming is most afraid of now is something that will damage his reputation too much.

I have enough money, and now I am thinking about how to keep it and get a good reputation, instead of committing suicide again and again.

Is what Xu Zheng is going to do with Dong Ping legal?

legitimate.

But is it suitable to do it yourself?
Ten thousand won’t fit.

It is not suitable for dipping either.

but……

You can't tell if the other party doesn't do this, and you can't speculate on others with malicious intent.

Therefore, Gu Ming prepared to lay a little mine. If he could listen to himself, he would clear the mine and cooperate as usual.

If you don't listen to yourself, let Xu Zheng hold Lei and explode together.

Gu Ming was happy to be able to get rid of a competitor who was messing with others behind his back without affecting his reputation.

It's just about doing whatever you want.

After reading the script, Gu Ming nodded, "Yes, and I want to give you a suggestion."

"Mr. Gu, please tell me."

"Since we are filming "Embarrassed in Hong Kong", we can use more veteran actors from Hong Kong, such as Huang Qiusheng, Du Wenze, Ye Dexian and so on."

"It makes sense!" Xu Zheng suddenly realized, "It's cheap, and it's familiar from old Hong Kong movies, so it can win the audience's favor."

"Listening to your words is better than ten years of reading. After listening to your words, Mr. Gu, I now feel enlightened!"

"Hey, it's over, it's over, I just said it casually." Gu Ming waved his hand, threw the pot away, and then said, "How much investment is needed for this film? I can let you use the producer, director, and screenwriter Let’s share 20% of the profits.”

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders!" Xu Zheng smiled.

"By the way, Mr. Gu, I want to discuss something with you. Can I sell these shares?"

"Sell it? Need money? I can lend it to you."

"No, a friend told me about an easier way to make money. I want to try it."

"Tell me?" Gu Ming crossed his arms.

Then Xu Zheng told Gu Ming the series of operations he heard from Dong Ping.

After finishing speaking, Gu Ming thought to himself that it was indeed the case, and pushed the script back, "I am not suitable for this kind of operation, even if I get involved, I am not suitable. If you insist on doing this kind of operation, I can only fight with you." Let’s just say, I’m afraid we can’t cooperate.”

"It's not that I don't want to vote, it's really inappropriate."

"Actually, with the success of your last film, it's not difficult to get investment from anyone."

"Mr. Gu, this, this..." Xu Zheng panicked. Did he offend Gu Ming?

But he really couldn't bear to give up such a huge profit.

After standing there and thinking for a while, Xu Zheng licked his lips and said, "How about I go back and think about it?"

"Okay, actually you don't have to consider me. I don't need the income from your movie, and I can't stop you from doing that. I can only say one thing, if you insist on doing that with Dong Ping, this movie is not suitable for us."

"If we are destined, we can cooperate again."
