Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 91
Just "Number One in the World".

The four secret agents of Xuanhuang and Tiandi Xuanhuang in the previous life are quite memorable, as well as Princess Yunluo, Lord Tietan, Snow Princess Yagyu and Piaoxu Yagyu. Gu Ming has never forgotten them after watching them.

It’s just right for a company like Daystar that has many young artists.

Gu Ming even decided who would play whom in an instant in his mind.

Speaking of which, in the original drama, two of the Four Secrets were from Hong Kong, one was from Wanwan, and the other was from the Mainland.

To take pictures myself, this situation must be completely reversed.

I use all the ones from the mainland.

Chen Kun plays the role of Duan Tianya, the number one secret agent in Tianzi. He just needs to look the same. How easy is it to act?

And his status as a celebrity is not too low. Although Li Guanpeng didn't look very good in his previous life, he was the male protagonist of Swordsman and The Condor before this, and his girlfriend was even more famous, so he still acted in it.

The No. [-] secret agent of the land returned to the sea with a knife. After much deliberation, Duan Yihong.

Xuanzi's No. [-] secret agent, Shangguan Haitang, used Li Bingbing.

If everything goes wrong...

This character needs to be a bit funny.

Xiao Ming?Gu Ming thought of Tang Bohu in his previous life for a moment, but he still didn't want it!

Then only Deng Chao is left, let the director explore his funny attributes.

Princess Yunluo was handed over to fellow villager Sun Feifei.

Yagyu Yukihime Takaenen.

Shenhou, be more domineering, Chen Daoming.

He should be filming "Kangxi Dynasty" right now, but it will take some time to prepare for "The Best in the World". It will be just in time for him to join the crew after finishing "Kangxi Dynasty".

You can also borrow the popularity of his "Kangxi Dynasty".

Kill two birds with one stone.

As for whether he could invite Chen Daoming, Gu Ming didn't consider it.

If Han Sanpin has a whole face fruit.

Now I have at least half of it. Once I say "Give me a face", I believe that no one among the actors will not give it to me for the time being.

His manager Wang Jinhua also had to cooperate and persuade him.

The worst case scenario is to give her some of the remaining roles. It's impossible for the two new dramas to be released this year to all feature people from Daystar.

There's always a time when it's appropriate, and it doesn't hurt to make an exchange.

However, the actor was confirmed, and when it came time to direct, Gu Ming was in trouble.

Who was the director in the previous life?do not remember.

I just remember that it was Wang Rixiang’s producer.

Consider the directors from the Mainland. They are absolutely top-notch in making serious dramas. They can also make war TV dramas.

But for a martial arts movie with a bit of comedy, Gu Ming really couldn’t think of who to use.

Big beard?

He has already started planning his first Jin Yong drama, "Swordsman", which is also a CCTV drama.

Just grab it if you say so!

Is CCTV so shameless?
After much thought, I searched my mind for martial arts dramas in my memory.

Gu Ming found that actors in this type of drama did not need to be from Hong Kong Island, but director Wu Zhi still had to find people from Hong Kong Island.

He immediately picked up his cell phone and called Huo Wenxi from Yinghuang.

"Director Gu, long time no see! When will you come to Hong Kong Island for a trip? I'm treating you."

Huo Wenxi has a very good attitude towards Gu Ming.

This was ordered by Yang Shoucheng himself.

Of course, even if Yang Shoucheng didn't give orders, she would still treat Gu Ming with this attitude. After all, he was on the same level as her boss.

One "Taken" made hundreds of millions, and with a sequel in hand, and the Mainland Daystar Company, it is no exaggeration to say that the net worth is in the hundreds of millions.

worth to respect.

"If you're traveling, you may have to wait until you go to Hong Kong Island next time for filming. I'm usually too busy to spare any time. I'm calling you to ask you about someone. Do you know Lai Shuiqing?"

"The director of "Eternal Dragon Sword", have you ever heard that Director Gu asked him to film a movie?"

"I want to film a martial arts TV series with him. Since Mr. Huo is not familiar with him, I will look for someone else."

"Hey, don't worry, Director Gu." Huo Wenxi smiled, "How many people are there in total on Hong Kong Island? Just because I'm not familiar with people, doesn't mean I can't contact them! I'll give you an answer within a day."

"Thank you, Mr. Huo!"

"We're seeing each other. Okay, wait for my good news." After Gu Ming hung up the phone, Huo Wenxi put down the phone and started looking for a relationship.

Six degrees of space theory.

There will be no more than six people between you and any stranger.

Not to mention that there are less than 1000 million people in Hong Kong Island, and Huo Wenxi has a high status in Yinghuang.

Lai Shuiqing was quickly contacted.

Lai Shuiqing has just finished directing a drama called "The Adventures of East and West" and is currently in a free period.

I heard from a friend that Gu Ming was looking for him and wanted him to film a martial arts TV series for Daystar.

How can he choose?
Of course I am willing!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that as the mainland's economy is booming, Hong Kong's film and television industry has no choice but to go north if it wants to have a future.

A leading private enterprise in the Mainland film and television industry is looking for you to film a TV series.

It was the director Gu Ming, whose film was a hit all over the world, who personally invited it.

If we can't agree on the terms, we can talk again.

To reject it outright would be to cut off all options.

Lai Shuiqing wasn't that crazy yet. After getting Gu Ming's phone number from Huo Wenxi, he chatted with Gu Ming.

After learning that Gu Ming's investment in this drama was at least 500 million, with an upper limit of 2000 million, Lai Shuiqing bought a plane ticket and came to the capital to find Gu Ming.

When I met Lai Shuiqing.

To be honest, Gu Ming, who had never seen his photo in his previous life and had only heard of his name, was still surprised.

He has a short beard and a rugged appearance.

This is not what Hong Kong Island looks like.

Just like Tenggol, he is simply a big man from the prairie.

"Director Gu, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times! I have admired you for a long time."

"Director Lai's "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword" is very good. I have watched it over and over again." After being polite, Gu Ming said
Director Lai, this is the outline of the story I wrote. You can find a screenwriter and work with our Daystar screenwriting department to expand it. "Is this written by Director Gu?"

I have heard of Lai Shuiqing. Most of Gu Ming's movies are scripts written by himself.

Thinking of Gu Ming's achievements in movies.

He couldn't wait to read it.

After reading it, he realized.

"Director Gu's story is really a culmination of martial arts dramas!"

Many shadows of martial arts novels can be seen in it.

Duan Tianya is similar to Guo Jing and Linghu Chong.

Guihai Yi Dao is similar to Yang Guo and Xiao Feng, a journey of revenge with a broken arm and the death of one of them.

Haitang is obviously a Huang Rong and Zhao Min type character.

The protagonist Cheng Fei is Wei Xiaobao + Xu Zhu, and Yun Luo is similar to Princess Jianning.

But if you say he plagiarized, that's obviously not enough.

"A film like this will definitely be popular if it is made." Lai Shuiqing made a judgment based on his many years of experience.

"Of course."

Gu Ming lost his humility and extended his hand, "Several important roles have been selected. If the supporting actors and crew members are available to Venus, I will use Venus. If not, Director Lai will find them."

As a director, Gu Ming knows very well that every director has his own behind-the-scenes staff.

Tough arrangements affect the speed of creation and even affect your own money.

I just want to say this, so that the staff behind Daystar can serve as assistants as much as possible and learn something from them.

"Okay, then I'm welcome."

Lai Shuiqing and Gu Ming held hands together.

After settling the matter of "No. [-] in the World", Gu Ming, the director of "Dae Jang Geum", found Li Dawei and said that the cooperation was pleasant, so we will work together again.

As long as the style of this kind of drama is guaranteed, the requirements for the director are not that high.

Plan the dramas to be produced this year.

Daystar also sold the TV rights and disc rights to "Taken" for RMB 800 million.

One point.

Without using the US dollars, the funds in Daystar's account reached nearly 4000 million again.

It’s enough to finish filming these two dramas.

Make big plans.

Gu Ming put down his work temporarily and went to enjoy life.

Live here today, live there tomorrow.

Pay attention to the rain and dew evenly.

After the New Year, he returned home, but Gu Ming still hadn't started going to the United States yet.

It's very simple. Wang Xiaoshuai's "Green Red" has entered the main competition section of the Berlin Film Festival.

At any rate, it is also the first film by another director that Daystar has helmed.

Gu Ming planned to go to Berlin first to maintain his contacts and sell the film, and then go to the United States after selling the film.

……

As soon as the new year is over.

Within a few days, Gu Ming, Wang Xiaoshuai, Gao Yuanyuan and the others rushed to Berlin.

I got off the plane and looked at the city of Berlin outside.

Gu Ming had a different feeling.

"What's wrong?" Gao Yuanyuan adjusted Gu Ming's clothes, "How are you feeling? Do you want to compose a poem?"

"No! When I write poems, they are all critical."

Gu Ming waved his hand.

"It just feels different."

“The first time I came, I got the Grand Jury Prize, and the second time I got a Golden Bear.”

"But the first two times I went as a director, this time I went as an investor. It's really different."

"Maybe this time the film you invest in can win the Golden Bear Award for Best Actress?" Gao Yuanyuan made a small joke and winked at her big eyes.

"Ok?"

A bunch of question marks appeared on Gu Ming's head.

He slowly turned his head and looked at Gao Yuanyuan.

Either you have a problem or I have a problem.

It will give you such unrealistic fantasies.

"This is absolutely impossible, don't think about good things."

"I think director Wang Xiaoshuai might be able to win an award with my support?"

"Really?" Wang Xiaoshuai, who was not far away, heard this and turned his head with a smile on his face.

"I think it's very likely!"

The film "Blue and Red" won an award at Cannes in a previous life.

This time I came to Berlin, which is slightly less difficult than Cannes.

And he has the reputation of being a former Golden Bear Award winner.

The advantages are obvious!

And somehow, Gu Ming felt that this year's Berlin Film Festival should be Wang Xiaoshuai's lucky year.

"17-Year-Old Bicycle", which was taken away by him, won the award at this Berlin Film Festival, making him instantly famous.

After a screening.

It's awards day.

Although he was not the main creative member of the crew, as an investor and with a reputation at the Berlin Film Festival, he was still invited to attend the awards night with the crew of "Blue and Red".

Director Lin Zhengsheng from Wanwan won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director.

When Lin Zhengsheng walked off the stage with the trophy, there were only two awards left, and the entire crew held their breath.
