Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 73

"Daniel Craig, hello!"

This actor who is known as the ugliest 007 really doesn't know what to say.

You look old when you are young, but you don’t age when you are old.

Although he is 32 years old, he looks like he is 40 years old.

It was just right to play the dark policeman.

"Hello, Gu."

Daniel Craig stretched out his hand, "I've seen your previous films, are you going to transition to commercial films?"

He is gay after all.

Gu Ming's top three movies in Europe are the radiant European film industry.

Although it is mainly France, Italy and Germany, how far is England from the European continent?
In addition, he had filmed the same-sex movie "Love Painting and Love" two years ago.

I also know a lot about artistic films.

At the same time, I also know Gu Ming, a young director who has won consecutive awards.

Especially since he has produced one of the top three movie stars, this kind of director is one that every actor likes to work with.

"Yes." Gu Ming nodded.

"Would you be interested in playing a role?"

"Of course." He knew what role he was playing before he came, so he naturally wouldn't object.

The rest is a matter of remuneration.

In order not to harm the relationship, the actor will leave and the agent will negotiate.

Daniel Craig has not yet played Laura's boyfriend in "Tomb Raider", but he has actually acted in many film and television dramas, and has starred in several movies. He is a young man who is quite famous in gay England. Actor.

Even though he didn't have many scenes in "Taken", the agent still directly offered a price of US$100 million.

"Daniel Craig is worth the price."

Yes, Daniel Craig ten years later is worth another zero.

But this is now after all.

"It's just a supporting role and doesn't require many days of work. The price is too high."

"Besides, his market appeal is not that high, and the main market for our drama is East and Southeast Asia, so his market appeal is almost zero!"

Asking prices all over the sky, bargaining on the ground.

If the other party brags, Gu Ming will be disparaged. When the time comes, the film will definitely come to England, but it can't be said that the other party's reputation has no effect.

After a heated debate, the final price was negotiated at $25.

If this price were available in China, not many mainland stars would be able to get it.

But this is gay England after all.

GDP per capita is high.

Of course, just looking for an actor here would definitely not cost such a high price.

But Daniel Craig is quite famous in gay England. He has starred in two movies, which can also drive the box office of gay England. This time he plays a villain again, and the price is really market price.

When you think about the revenue that the 007 gimmick in this film will bring in the future, this price becomes even more acceptable.

Compared to ordinary actors, signing him is more profitable.

Gu Ming nodded and signed the contract with his agent and Daniel Craig.

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Gu Ming smiled knowingly.

I don’t know if this film will affect his performance as 007.

If it has no impact, many people in the future will definitely be interested in seeing how 007 was threatened by the protagonist.

Wait until Daniel Craig is gone.

Yan Danchen glanced at Gu Ming. Based on his understanding of Gu Ming, Gu Ming was very happy now.

I couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"The few movies he starred in were only average at the box office!"

"Why did you sign him at such a high price? Just find any foreign actor."

"And why do you look like you've made a lot of money?"

"Have you noticed all this?" Gu Ming smiled, telling lies right off the bat, "I said that being a star means being distinctive. Do you think his appearance is distinctive?"

"The eyebrows and eyes are indeed quite distinctive."

"That's it."

"Oh..." Yan Danchen nodded without thinking much.

It was a small leak, and Gu Ming was in a good mood.

I gave everyone a holiday and had fun for two days before starting work.

Unexpectedly, the weather in London really doesn’t joke with you.

It rained for a day and a half.

Everyone only played for a long time.

Then we started scouting the location, booking the apartments, yachts, etc. we needed in advance, and making an appointment for the rental time.It took nearly ten days.

Take care of everything.

Then everyone returned to Hong Kong Island and then returned to the capital.

The preparation was at the end of April.

It was early May.

There is still more than a month to go until the launch.

However, Gu Ming couldn't take any time off during the rest of the time.

We also have to work with photographers like action director Yuan Kui and Gu Changwei Cao Yu to design the action.

How to fight beautifully and yet kill with a fatal blow.

If you shoot like this, how should you shoot to get better results?

Go through it first to give the photographer an impression.

After all, this kind of action movie shot with handheld photography is really useless for photographers.

If you don’t do the preliminary work well, problems will inevitably arise.

Time consuming and expensive.

During this period, a rather sensational thing happened in the Chinese film circle.

at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Jiang Wen's "The Devil Is Coming" won the Cannes Grand Jury Prize.

Yang Dechang won the best director for "Yi Yi".

Tony Leung Chaowei won the Best Actor Award at Cannes for his performance in "In the Mood for Love".

Filmmakers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places have made great achievements.

It won a total of three awards, another success after this year's Berlin Film Festival.

"I don't know if Jiang Wen is happy or worried!"

After trying to shoot a section, Gu Changwei moved his wrists and shoulders while shaking his head with a smile, the expression on his face was extremely wonderful.

"What's wrong?" Cao Yu asked curiously.

"Has it been blocked?" Gu Ming said.

"You guessed it right." Gu Changwei nodded.

"If it doesn't pass the review, it will be sent to Cannes."

"If you don't win the prize, it's easy."

"If you win the highest award, such as Gu Ming, you can directly win the Palme d'Or and become an international sensation. Nothing can be done to you. At most, you will be fined three drinks. Be careful next time."

"But you won the award, but you are not so dazzling, so if you don't obey, you will be punished."

"Someone asked someone to tell Jiang Wen that he should be banned for five years. Don't think about being a director and making movies during these five years."

"Of course, there is no official document. Believe it or not. If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. The last thing you need to worry about is being stubborn."

"Such a director can't make movies for five years!" Cao Yu said with emotion.

"Who said it can't be made? It's just a matter of trying to occupy the magpie's nest. Find a young director and he will be the lead. Who do you want to listen to for the film?"

"Even so, the young director still has to thank me, otherwise he would not have had the first opportunity, and he would have gained great fame by working with Jiang Wen."

"Hey?"

An idea suddenly popped into Gu Ming's mind.

Jiang Wendang is the de facto director anyway. Can he train a director so that Lu Tailang can lose the title of director of "Looking for the Gun"?

It also saves him from being disgusting and making some kind of dirty movie.

He can also promote a director from Daystar to change his situation of supporting Daystar's film business alone, killing two birds with one stone!

good!There's something going on!

After filming this film, I had a chat with Jiang Wen.

……

6 month 14 number.

The day before the start-up.

Gu Ming met Jet Li who had just gotten off the plane on Hong Kong Island.

In the past two months of accompanying the childbirth, Li Lianlian also ate a little fatter as instructed by Care Ming.

Clearly gained weight.

The face also has some vicissitudes of life.

In this way, he, who is nearly 40 years old, looks like he has a teenage daughter.

It would be more appropriate to kill everyone for my daughter.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Long time no see. I should have come here earlier, but I couldn't help it. My wife just gave birth to a daughter who is just one month old." Li Lian said.

"congratulations!"

"Thank you, I'll treat you tonight."
