Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Of course, while enjoying life, Gu Ming still did not forget to take some time to pay attention to the current film market.

"Interstellar" was taken off the shelves in the country, with a final box office of 2.5 billion yuan.

Successfully raised the box office record to a higher level.

This also ensures that Gu Ming's influence in the country remains at its peak.

Many practitioners couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Starting from "Taken", Gu Ming has always maintained the top level in the domestic film market and has never failed.

I don’t know when we can get out of his shadow!

As for another thing, it is because there is also a movie called Morning Star during this National Day holiday.

This is still a blockbuster movie.

"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".

It's just that Gu Ming was still confident in Gu Changwei, with whom he had worked several times. Moreover, with Gu Changwei's current fame, he didn't need to attract popularity himself, so he was lazy and did not participate in the promotion.

Otherwise, I would have to appear in every film myself, wouldn't that exhaust myself?

Besides, the boss is so busy, what else does he need employees to do?

Isn't it just to ask you to work for the boss?

With a little attention, the situation is quite good!
After all, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is a classic drama, and it is released during the National Day holiday, which is like having the advantage of home court.

That’s not all, “Lost in Hong Kong” was also taken off the screen.

You have to know that the National Day period right now is not as hot as it was a few years later. Two promising films came in all at once, so there are basically no other competitors willing to come to this period. The ones that are available are low-budget films that were not planned to make much box office.

As a result, "Lost in Hong Kong" is gone.

Things happened too quickly, leaving no time for publicity, so other films were reluctant to make a sudden release.

All major cinema chains had no choice but to give their empty screenings to other movies currently in theaters.

Most of them were taken away by "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".

It is no exaggeration to say that "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" dominated the entire schedule.

During the seven-day National Day holiday, plus the advance screenings, the movie grossed a total of 700 million yuan at the box office. It should be no problem to break 1 billion yuan.

After knowing the news, Gu Ming no longer cared about it. He rested for a few days and then rushed to Los Angeles.

The Oscars are less than half a year away.

In order to achieve good results, you still have to do some good public relations in advance!

On the other hand, when Gu Ming boarded the plane to leave the capital, Bajie, no, Xu Zheng was in trouble.

He watched helplessly as "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" swallowed up all the box office revenue from "Lost in Hong Kong" that should have belonged to him. Before one crisis was over, another one arose, and he immediately received bad news.

I asked someone how to save "Lost in Hong Kong" and got a reply.

The other party made it very clear.

If it were a different time, maybe there would be some relief.

But such a thing happened in Hong Kong Island during the National Day period. Not only did you use so many bad artistes in this movie, but you also called it "Hong Kong囧".

Who are you saying is embarrassing?

So, this movie is not 80%, it is 100% hopeless.

It has been defined above.

Even if you change a few actors and reshoot it, it won't work.

You can totally choose to give up.

The reason they didn't ban you from directing for a few years is that they don't want to make this matter a big deal and don't want people in the country to know what happened behind this. Don't focus on the south.

"okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zheng closed his eyes completely.

……

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was late December. Christmas was just around the corner, so Gu Ming returned to China from the United States.

The purpose of coming back is, firstly, to reunite with family whom I haven't seen for a long time, and secondly, to support the people in the company.

If it were any other veteran director, Gu Ming would definitely not bother to care.

But who can blame him for being a new director?

I provided him with the script and asked the company to prepare the storyboard before letting him shoot.

It’s Wang Baoqiang and “Detective Chinatown”.

After coming back, I happened to catch the premiere of "Detective Chinatown" that day.

This is another film with Gu Ming listed as the nominal producer and personally stamped with his seal of approval.

Plus Baoqiang is popular.

Everybody was very respectful and there were quite a few celebrity reporters and the like who came to show their support.

Baoqiang was there to greet the guests at the entrance.

"Hey, Mr. Gu, you're here!"

At the door, Wang Baoqiang saw Gu Ming and smiled, revealing his big white teeth.

He was very grateful to Gu Ming.

They had known each other for more than ten years. When Gu Ming was filming his debut movie, he took great care of him. Later, he brought him into the company and wrote a script specifically for him to make as his first work as a director.

Wang Baoqiang didn't know how to express his gratitude for this favor.

She just held Gu Ming's hand tightly, using this way to express her inner excitement at the moment.

Even holding it, you don't want to let go.

"Hey, that's enough, that's enough."

"You still have to take care of others." Gu Ming tilted his head and pointed at Han Sanpin, who had nothing to do after retirement and went to the movies with Gu Ming. "Don't let Mr. Han think that he can be looked down upon just because he has retired."

"Boss Han, I, I was a little too excited just now."

"You're not excited to see me?"

“More excited.”

“Hahaha!” Han Sanpin laughed loudly, and after releasing his hand, he punched Gu Ming. “You are really something, kid. You are bullying me right after retirement?”

"No where!" Gu Ming smiled and caught a glimpse of a bald man wearing glasses out of the corner of his eye.

"Why is he here?"

Muttering, Gu Ming looked at Wang Baoqiang, "Did you invite him?"

"Yup!"

"It wasn't that unpleasant during the production of Lost in Hong Kong, we just didn't reach an agreement, and then he ran into that incident again, so I thought it would be a shame not to invite him, after all we had worked together twice before."

"Boss Gu, did I call you the wrong name?"

"How can you say that! Everyone here is a guest." Gu Ming smiled and whispered, "Are you still thinking of showing off in front of him?"

"Hehehe." Wang Baoqiang didn't say anything, but just grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.

"Oh, Zhang Fei is embroidering!"

After praising Wang Baoqiang, Gu Ming did not deliberately avoid Xu Zheng. He waited for him to come over and chatted with him, comforting him with a few words. Then he walked in with Han Sanpin and sat down in his own seat.

"Kid, you asked me to come here specifically. Is this movie another "Charlotte's Troubles"? " Han Sanpin asked.

"No, I just wanted to come back home and ask you to watch a movie and reminisce about the past."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

"I don't believe it!" Han Sanpin shook his head, "There must be something wrong here. This movie must be unusual."

"What's so unusual about it?" Gu Ming denied it, "In fact, I haven't even seen the full movie yet." (End of this chapter)
