Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 70

In a villa in Beijing.

Wang Zhonglei came to his brother Wang Zhongjun's home.

When he saw his brother staring at a painting, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

I don’t know what’s so good about that broken painting.

Others use paintings to decorate their facades, but you really admire them every day!

"Brother, stop looking at the painting."

Wang Zhonglei shouted.

"Updates."

"News has come out that Gu Ming is looking for investment in his new film with big investment. US$370 million can buy 20.00% of the share. Compared with the investment of Daystar and China Film, it is a premium of 20.00%."

"Do you think we should invest?"

Wang Zhonglei asked while giving his own opinion, "Such a large investment will definitely not be recouped by relying on the domestic box office alone. Fortunately, Li Lianlian is still a hit in Southeast Asia. I heard that the box office of his new film in Hollywood is also good." Well enough."

"But we can only get less than [-]% of the box office revenue at home. When we go abroad, we have to share the profits with local snakes. Wouldn't we get even less?"

"Not to mention Hollywood. It is customary for overseas films to charge you [-]% of the distribution share if they want to enter the North American market. By then, only [-]% of the box office will be left in your hands. If you sell out, It won’t sell for much.”

"I think this investment is [-] percent going to be a loss."

"Vote!" Wang Zhongjun looked at a picture of a roc spreading its wings on the wall and said calmly.

"You still invest after losing money?" Wang Zhonglei was a little surprised.

“Then it’s even more important to vote!”

Wang Zhonglei turned around and said that he hated iron.

"Isn't it very likely that he will lose money? Will Gu Ming give up his investment share?"

"The first few times you wanted to invest, did people take you to play?"

"Other than those established studios with intricate relationships, who can get involved?"

"That's why we should seize this opportunity. If we cooperate happily, it will not be difficult to cooperate next time."

"If you buy a 300% share, the premium of nearly [-] million yuan is regarded as the admission fee."

"But……"

"There's nothing to be said for."

"Okay." Wang Zhonglei still listened to his brother's words.

Now that the other party has made up his mind, he will no longer raise any objections.

Just vote.

Anyway, it’s 500 million yuan.

How can I get half of it back?

When the time came, I hooked up with Gu Ming again and started working with him. It couldn’t be considered a loss!

Moreover.

Huayi invested in "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" and suffered a loss of blood.

I also invested in "The Devil Is Coming", but it hasn't passed the review yet, so I'm preparing to try my best to get into Cannes, but it's also a loss.

Could it be that Chen Kaige and Jiang Wen will not invest money in the next film they direct?

There are only a few competitive directors in the industry. If they lose money this time and don’t invest next time, what if they make money next time?That would be a bigger loss for Dafa.

Gu Ming's current results seem to be more reliable than the two of them, and he is younger and full of potential.

Will you regret not investing?

All in all, this investment is a win as long as you cooperate with Gu Ming happily and don't lose everything like Jing Ke did when he assassinated the King of Qin!

The difference is whether it’s a medium win, big win or extra big win!

"Ok!"

Thinking about it this way, Wang Zhonglei felt much better.

But what he didn't expect was.

Even opportunities for premium investment are being grabbed!
After Yinghuang Entertainment on Hong Kong Island heard that Gu Ming was going to collaborate with Li Lianlian in filming, they immediately gave Bao Yuan the investment amount of US$370 million!
Numb.

People are snatching up all the money-losing deals!

Wang Zhonglei really wanted to open the head of Boss Ying Huangyang and see what he was thinking.

I scolded Boss Yang behind his back.

Things still have to be done.

He had no choice but to ask Li Bingbing to treat Gu Ming to a meal together.

"Director Gu!" "We have always wanted to invest in your film."

"I also admire your films very much. You have won consecutive awards, which has greatly increased the influence of Chinese films in the international film industry. This time, you have also brought Li Lianjie together to make a film. No matter what, you have to give us Huayi a What an opportunity!”

"We are willing to subscribe for a [-]% share, and apart from the share, there are no requirements for other actors or anything else."

"Whoever you think is suitable is the one!"

"I have to go back and discuss this with other investors!" Gu Ming wouldn't agree to this just after a meal. He had to be careful.

"I hope Mr. Gu will consider us."

Wang Zhonglei said to himself, who doesn’t know that you alone have the final say in this "Hurricane Rescue".

But you still have to keep a smiling expression on your face.

All kinds of flattery take turns on the ground.

After clinking glasses with Gu Ming, he drank it all in one gulp, regardless of whether Gu Ming finished the drink.

Then he pulled Li Bingbing over.

"Come on, Bingbing, have a drink."

"Director Gu, you are my idol." Li Bingbing clinked glasses with Gu Ming, and then drank them all in one gulp.

Wait until after the meal is finished.

Gu Ming was sent to the car again by soldiers arranged by Wang Zhonglei.

But while walking, I was dragged to the hotel.

Ugh……

Just use this to test the director?

Which director can withstand such a test!

……

a day later.

The remaining 20.00% share was taken away by Huayi and Yinghuang.

Each family invested US$180 million, accounting for [-]% of the share.

If this incident is only concerned by insiders, then another incident is enough to cause the carnival of all entertainment media.

Daystar General Manager Li Xiaoping held a press conference and announced two things.

Gong Li will play the role of Liu Lili, the ex-wife of the male protagonist in "Hurricane Rescue"!
The hero's daughter Li Fei is played by Zhou Xun.

Logically speaking, for the role of the heroine, you have to put on some pretense and go through auditions and so on.

But Gu Ming really can't think of anyone among the young actresses nowadays who is more suitable than Zhou Xun.

In terms of acting skills, in the first performance, Xiao Wei in the previous life "Painted Skin" played a pitiful and charming character. In this film, she only needs to play [-]% of the performance in "Painted Skin" and act in a way that can inspire the audience's protective desire.

In terms of identity, she is the first sister of Daystar. I have invested in such a big film, such an important role, and can even be said to be the heroine. If my company has suitable actors, why don’t I use ones from other companies?
Gu Ming is not that generous yet.

Even if there was an audition, after the final audition, the role was still Zhou Xun's.

At that time, no one will say anything about the behind-the-scenes operation!

You might as well just decide and pull it off, to save someone from being jabbering.

Until now, the three main characters have been identified.

Li Lianlian, Gong Li, Zhou Xun.

For a while, everyone in the industry felt like a storm was coming.

Each of these three people can carry a film alone.

What is the concept of participating in a film at the same time?

What is big production? This is called big production!
Before anyone could recall it.

In order to cooperate with the publicity, Gu Ming took out the role of the heroine's best friend and started auditioning.

In fact, she is a female supporting character.

But she is also the female supporting actor in the biggest domestic production to date.

Almost all young actresses who met the requirements submitted their resumes.

Except for those who are waiting for the audition.

Naturally, some people will inevitably take other paths.

After learning who Gu Ming's real girlfriend is.

Some people, especially female students from Nortel, focused on Yan Danchen who was still in school.
