Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 93 I'm Not That Kind of Person
"No."

"what!"

Gu Changwei was stunned, and all the words he was about to say were stuck in his throat.

He looked at Gu Ming blankly.

You kid doesn't play by the rules!
"Haha, what's the matter?" Gu Ming smiled, "Who among us is following whom! You're still so polite, why don't you just tell us what's going on? Can I just ignore it if I can help?"

"You're going to Hollywood to film, right?"

"Forehead."

"Then when Cannes comes..." Gu Changwei smacked his lips, "Can you, the producer, take the time to come too!"

"Why do you have to go?"

"With you as the winner of the Palme d'Or, isn't it true?" Gu Changwei said bluntly.

If before, Gu Changwei thought that it would be best if Gu Ming should go to the Cannes Film Festival with him, and it was not indispensable not to go.

Then I have to go now.

He has heard of Wang Xiaoshuai, and he does have some strength.

But he has some ability. Why did Gu Ming go to win the award with him when he hasn't won the award before?
Is this a coincidence?

Or is it that Gu Ming has a wide enough network of contacts, or is it just good luck to have Gu Ming around?

Thinking of the four films Gu Ming has made along the way and his achievements.

Gu Changwei felt that even if the last reason was the most ridiculous, it was really useful.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain all this!

Asking Gu Ming to go to the film festival with you is definitely a guarantee.

"Don't refuse!" Gu Changwei patted Gu Ming's knee, "If I can win the prize, you can also make more money. It's a win-win situation for us."

"It should be fine."

"That's good, that's good!" Gu Changwei felt more confident.

Subconsciously he glanced to the west.

Cannes Film Festival, I have to get you an award!

……

2 month 20 number.

After finally finishing his domestic affairs, Gu Ming took a plane and flew to Los Angeles.

Because many people in the circle knew that this matter could not be hidden at all. After Gu Ming left, many media made headlines about Gu Ming's trip to Hollywood.

[Director Gu wants to collaborate with Sony on a new film, aiming for an Oscar! 】

[Gu Ming will definitely have a place in next year’s Oscars. 】

[Guide Gu will achieve greater success! 】

All the media are very optimistic about Gu Ming.

Of course, they are only optimistic on the surface. If it fails, they will be the ones who will be criticized the most.

Send you to the altar, and then smash you into the dust.

But until the dust settles, they have to be optimistic.

It’s really the general trend!

"Taken", which has been released in China for almost two months, has grossed 1.6 million yuan at the box office, accounting for nearly one-fifth of last year's domestic box office. You must know that there are many Hollywood blockbusters in the other four-fifths. It can be said that this one film supports half of the world of domestic films!
The Hong Kong Island box office grossed HK$3800 million, making it the Hong Kong Island box office champion this year.

Wanwan is close to NT$[-] million, ranking among the top five at the box office.

These alone have a box office of nearly 3000 million US dollars.

The box office reached US$1.1 million when it dropped in North America.

It has been showing in other overseas markets for a month and has also taken in US$5000 million.

The global box office will exceed [-] million US dollars soon!

The overwhelming reports made most of the media dare not risk the world's public opinion to watch Gu Ming's decline before his failure.

Suddenly, when it comes to domestic directors, people all have the same name.

Zhang is Zhang Yimou, and Gu is Gu Ming.

Considering that both of them are from Chang'an, many filmmakers can't help but recall the momentum of Xiying Studio after "Red Sorghum". There was even a saying in the film circle at that time, "Looking northwest to Chang'an!"

Now, everyone has to look northwest again.

If there is envy, there will be jealousy.

Especially Brother Chen Kai.

He became very angry when he saw what the media said about the so-called one-shot review and did not take him as a great director seriously.

Thinking of Gu Ming, he became even more angry.

The fingers holding the newspaper tightened.

In fact, he admired Gu Ming very much at first. He felt that this young man was a genius just like him, and he was right up his alley.

But it shouldn't be done at all, this guy is too genius.

He won the Palme d'Or without any fanfare, causing him to lose his reputation as the only Palme d'Or director in the country.

Later, he even won the Golden Bear.

His status in people's hearts was reduced to No.3.

It's even better now, just look at it and don't mention his name at all.

"Humph! These media are just a bunch of clowns!"

Brother Chen Kai crumpled the newspaper in his hand into a ball and threw it to the ground.

He closed his eyes, frowned and muttered to himself.

"Then wouldn't Gu Ming also come to Hollywood? I've already made a movie in Hollywood."

"Just wait for me."

"When my "Kill Me Softly" is released, I will definitely open your eyes!"

……Los Angeles.

When Gu Ming left the station, Anthony came to greet him.

Seeing Gu Ming, Anthony couldn't stop smiling. Looking at Gu Ming was like looking at Franklin.

They are all green dollar bills.

He came up directly and gave Gu Ming a big hug, "I love you so much, Gu, you are finally here!"

"There is a welcome party tonight for everyone to welcome you."

"Ah?" Gu Ming was still not used to things like parties, so he hesitated, "How about we say goodbye? Let's talk about it directly?"

"No no no!"

"Is there a saying in your country that says when you are in the country, do as the Romans do?"

"Now that I'm in Hollywood, how can I not go to the party?"

"This is a party held by Sony to celebrate our first official cooperation with you. There will be a lot of people there, and they all want to get to know you."

Seeing Gu Ming's face, he was still unmoved.

Anthony added, "There are thousands of Oscar judges, and these all need public relations. If you don't even attend the parties, how will you participate in the public relations activities in the future?"

"Gu, the Oscars are different from the three major European awards. If one of the judges likes you very much, you can win the award. If the chairman of the jury likes your work very much, you can win the highest award."

"There are thousands of Oscar judges, and if one or two like it, it won't change anything at all. If you don't work hard, it's very likely that most of the judges haven't seen your film at all, so how can you win the award?"

"Without public relations, there is no chance of winning an award."

"You have to start getting used to it."

"That's right." As if he was still afraid of Gu Ming, Anthony directly took out his ultimate move, "Gu, what kind of people do you like? Hey, yellow people, or us white people? Slender ones, or plump ones? , I can let some entertainment companies arrange it."

"Don't worry, they are all authentic models."

"It's not easy to get involved in that circle. They all want to have some connection with Hollywood."

"If they knew it was you, a big director with a global box office of over [-] million, at the party, and you hooked your fingers, they would be willing to do something with you, and you could just give them a supporting role or something."

"If you really don't want to give it, just remember to give it next time. They won't suffer any loss anyway."

"The main person who contributes is not you."

"No, Anthony, who do you think I am?" Gu Ming looked upright.

I am here to compete for the Oscars, not to compete as a model.

You must not be corroded by this bad atmosphere!
snort!
They actually wanted to use this method to corrupt my enterprising spirit as a young director.

I will not give in!
"Oh……"

Anthony understood and looked like he understood, "Since you like to be passive, then I'll tell them and let them contribute."

"No! No need to arrange it."

"I'm not that kind of person."

"But I will go to this party."

As a model, I really don’t have much interest, mainly because Anthony is too enthusiastic and it’s hard to refuse.

"Oh, by the way, Gu, which Hollywood actress is your favorite?"

That's a lot.

"Winona Ryder, Jessica Alba, Monica Bellucci..."

Gu Ming sat upright and told the truth.

If Anthony really has the ability to arrange for these people to come, what if he is corrupted?
I don't go to hell, who goes to hell?

Who knows the depth of Hollywood without trying it yourself?
If you don’t know the depth, how can you get involved in Hollywood?
But Gu Ming knew very well that his current celebrity status was not up to that level.

Why don't you wait until you are at the level of David Fincher before you consider these people? Then you have to have the heroine role of a commercial blockbuster in your hand. Otherwise, why should you?

Is it really for love?
A woman who believes in love will not become a first- or second-tier star in Hollywood. Even men can say the same.

that's the truth.

It's impossible for Anthony to invite those first- and second-tier actresses over.

At most, it's just a lighter model to liven up the atmosphere.

However, most of these models belong to the Eastern and Western aesthetics.

It can be regarded as Anthony’s intention.

Gu Ming didn't plan to do anything, but at least it was eye-catching, right?

At this small party.

In addition to meeting several Sony Columbia executives, Gu Ming also met many other familiar faces who were invited.

One of them is Quentin Tarantino, who has a big chin and some wild-looking features.

After seeing Gu Ming, he greeted Gu Ming enthusiastically.

"Gu! Your movie "Hurricane Rescue" really suits my taste."

"Especially in the second half, it was so exciting."

"Bull pen..."

The director, who specializes in cult movies, gave Gu Ming a compliment in Chinese.

"While watching your film, it even gave me an idea to make a film about killing and killing."

"I even thought about the costumes."

"Wearing Bruce Lee's yellow training uniform and killing everyone is exciting just thinking about it."

"Is the weapon a neon samurai sword?" Gu Ming asked casually.

"Ok?"

Quentin's eyes lit up.

"That's a good idea. I like your Hong Kong movies and Neon's director Akira Kurosawa the most. In this way, you can incorporate both elements."

"Oh? It seems like you two are quite compatible! Gu, are you interested in being the director of this idea and letting Quentin be the producer." At this time, an extremely greasy-looking fat man came over.

　I need to go back to my hometown. In the past two or three days, I may only be able to write two updates and six thousand words a day. Sorry, I will resume three updates and nine thousand words by then.
