Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 86 Grand Premiere
In the middle of winter, Gu Ming felt that it was not very friendly to the audience when people from later generations held stadium premieres.

Go to the Great Hall, it's really eye-catching.

Of course, another most important reason is that two-thirds of the film's dialogue is in English.

Gu Ming felt that it would be better to go to a place like that and have all the dialogues in Chinese.

So, Gu Ming asked Han Sanpin to find a pretty good theater.

Located at No. 40 Liangmaqiao Road, near the Kempinski Hotel and the 21st Century Theater at the Kunlun Hotel.

In addition to the invited guests and reporters, the remaining 1713 seats of the 1500 seats in the theater were sold out.

The cheapest seat is 300 yuan, and the most expensive one is 1000 yuan!

Tickets for this premiere alone sold 100 million.

Gu Ming was a little surprised.

What else can I say?
No matter what time of year, there are so many rich people.

But when I thought that this was in the capital, I felt relieved.

I just feel that the tickets are sold cheaply and should be sold more expensively.

In fact, the price is worth it.

You can meet many celebrities with your own eyes.

Han Sanpin, who has received repeated praise from above recently, directly activated the "Face Fruit" ability in order to successfully host this premiere. As soon as he said "Give me a face", who else would refuse the invitation?
Do you still want to hang out?
Even Zhang Weiping, who was called Han Sanpin's "Mountain Eagle" in later generations, no matter how unhappy she felt, she still had to bring Zhang Yimou here.

In addition to them, there were also artists from Huayi, Wang Jinhua and Daystar, all of whom were not absent.

From Li Xuejian, Chen Baoguo, Chen Daoming, to Ge You and Liu Bei.

And then to the various directors in the directing world.

It can be said that all the famous people in the circle were called to the scene.

The hosts all use Zhang Guoli.

Before the video was played, the main creative staff came on stage, including Gu Ming, Li Lianjie, Zhou Xun, and Gong Li.

Then talk about this and that.

The first person Zhang Guoli asked was Gu Ming.

"Director Gu, we all know that you are originally a great director of artistic films. What made you decide to make a commercial film?"

"It's Boss Han."

Gu Ming decisively passed the blame, "He has always wanted me to make commercial films, but I couldn't resist him."

"Just thinking about the current sluggish domestic box office, as a filmmaker, I really have an obligation to provide the audience with movies that the audience likes more, so I conceived the film "Taken" after "Fireworks in the Day"."

"Then the first commercial film has such a big battle?"

"No way!" Gu Ming shrugged, "Li Lianjie is too expensive. When I was a child, after watching a series of movies such as "Shaolin Temple" and "Once Upon a Time", I had the idea that I was jealous!"

"Here, why are you so good at fighting?"

"I also want to be an actor and act with Li Lianlian. What if I can survive two moves and then lose?"

"I didn't expect that by accident, I became a director. Then I had to cast Li Lianjie in a commercial film. It also fulfilled my childhood dream of acting with Li Lianjie." Gu Ming had too many dreams in his childhood. I took out one and left a little suspense.

"I also appear in it. You can look for it. Actually, you don't have to look for it. The most handsome one is the one."

"Hahaha..." There was a burst of laughter from below.

After chatting for four or five minutes, the microphone turned to Li Lianjie, "Can you talk about the process from taking the photo to shooting?"

"At that time, before my "Romeo Deadly" was to be released, I suddenly received a call from a friend saying that someone here invited me to make an action film."

"To be honest, I'm quite surprised."

"But after I learned that director Gu Ming was going to film it, I had a strong desire to collaborate."

"A 20-year-old top three winner! He still gets one and gets two."

"It's nothing short of a miracle."

"I think working with him in this action movie might also create miracles."

"Everyone has also seen that the North American box office has now reached 9000 million, and it is certain to exceed [-] million."

"In a movie kingdom like Hollywood, people in the United States don't read subtitles. It's really amazing that this movie with so many subtitles can get this box office!"

As he spoke, Li Lianjie gave Gu Ming a thumbs up, "Director Gu is the most powerful director I have ever worked with."

"..."

After more than half an hour of interview, the film was officially screened.

The film begins with a scene of a little girl celebrating her birthday. The scene disappears and it turns out that it was a dream.

The protagonist played by Li Lianjie fell asleep on the sofa, holding a photo of his daughter in his hand.

Then, he bought a karaoke machine that he had chosen for a long time and took it to his daughter's birthday party.

The contrast between the karaoke machine and the horse as a gift from her stepfather vividly portrays the daughter's willfulness and lack of understanding.

After returning home with a sense of loss, the most common thing the protagonist does is look at photos of his daughter.

At this time, a friend came home, and through the friend's conversation, he revealed his identity. He was a member of the Flying Tigers who was retired due to illegal operations. He was also the most powerful member of the Flying Tigers in the history of the team.

After the party, a friend introduced a job to protect a young female singer.

In that job, the male protagonist who successfully protected the female star from harm wanted to successfully get acquainted with the female star.

A peaceful life is like this, day after day.Until my daughter asked to go abroad.

Knowing that it is not all sunshine outside, the protagonist is unwilling to sign the consent form.

But he couldn't resist his daughter's repeated pleas and his ex-wife's persuasion.

And he didn't want to see his daughter unhappy.

He agreed with his daughter and her best friend to go to England, but he was still uneasy and prepared a phone call for his daughter, and also gave her a good warning.

Something like "Don't talk to strangers."

It would be weird if I listened to you.

Just after getting off the plane, my daughter and her best friend violated a time-honored choice with a handsome guy. Not only did they send him downstairs, but they also told him his specific address.

Not long after, she saw her best friend being taken away.

At this time, she knew that her stepfather who was willing to give her a famous horse was unreliable, and her mother who had agreed to her going abroad in the first place was unreliable, so she quickly called her biological father.

And under the guidance of his father, he revealed that the person he met along the way was a young man named Peter, who we took a taxi with at the airport exit.

After getting this information, the protagonist hurriedly asked his daughter to hide under the bed.

Just when the audience held their breath.

The protagonist spoke again.

"You will definitely be caught!"

"Put your phone next to you, carefully look at the characteristics, appearance, skin color, height, scars, etc. of your captor, and then say it out loud!"

The gang members came in, walked around, and walked out.

Let the audience take another breath.

But no one noticed that the number of people coming in was different from the number of people going out, so the daughter was dragged out without any precautions.

In the scream, she left a crucial clue, "Has a beard, is 1.8 meters tall, has stars and moons and tattoos."

On the other side, my father in Xiangjiang fell into pain, reluctance, and tension.

I heard someone pick up the phone.

The protagonist talks to himself, "I don't know who you are, and I don't want to care who you are."

"If you want ransom, I don't have the money, but I still have some special methods, which I have honed constantly at work. They are the nightmare for people like you."

"If you let my daughter go, I can pretend this didn't happen."

"If not, I will find you and kill you!"

"Good luck!" The other side didn't care about the protagonist's threat and left such a provocative English sentence.

……

When his daughter is in crisis, the protagonist quickly takes action and contacts his daughter's stepfather to get a private jet. He also contacts an old friend to analyze the group. The old friend concludes that these people are Albanian gangsters who specialize in trafficking young women and poisoning them. Control, and then work in the red light district.

If we can’t find anyone within 72 hours, it’s completely hopeless.

Time is urgent.

The protagonist doesn't want to waste time.

When I arrived at the hotel where my daughter lived, I was stared at by a somewhat racist security guard. I simply went to the top floor and walked downstairs with my bare hands.

This scene has never appeared in other movies, and it caused a burst of cheers from everyone.

One word, cool!

Two words, exciting!

Three words, a fortress!
Entering the house, the protagonist recreated the scene, found his daughter's camera, and found the photos taken after he came to England. From the reflection, he found the person suspected to be named Peter.

Go to the airport and catch Peter who is looking for new prey to prepare for torture. Peter ran away because of his accomplice's trouble. He drove to the overpass and chased him. There was a traffic jam ahead, so the protagonist got out of the car and chased him.

Seeing that he couldn't run away, Peter actually imitated Jackie Chan and jumped off the overpass, landing on a van. He only injured his leg and was still able to limp away.

In the original drama, the protagonist didn't jump, because it really wasn't suitable for his body type.

With Li Lianlian playing the role, there was no pressure. He jumped directly and watched with his own eyes as the escaping Peter was hit by a truck and died.

The protagonist had no choice but to find his friend, the British gay Lauder, who used to work in Hong Kong Island and is now in the London Police Department.

Lauder knew very well how much the protagonist loved his daughter, and also knew the protagonist's abilities very well, so he named a place where the Albanian people often appeared.

The protagonist found a translator who could speak Albanian, went to the location given by Lauder, and placed monitors on the gang members by harassing the street girls.

Then I heard the other party say that I needed to go somewhere and there was a problem with the goods.

Following all the way, the protagonist went to the gang's goods factory. Behind every curtain was a miserable girl.

There were pinholes all over his wrists, and he was obviously controlled by poisonous pins.

"Ah! Why is there such a place!" A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with a long neck, dull eyes, and looking like a blind person grabbed the arm of her father beside her, "Dad, is there such a mess abroad? ?”

"Yup!"

The father on the side touched his daughter's head and said, "Don't run around after giving Shi Shi. Dad is not as powerful as the protagonist in the movie. He won't be able to save you by then."

"It's okay. I just need to find a husband who feels safe and can protect me."

　The plot still needs to be written. Some people may not have seen the movie, but there will be another chapter in half an hour.
