Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 74

the next day.

All crew members and main actors gathered on Hong Kong Island.

Doing as the Romans do in the country, we held a boot-up worship ceremony that is common when filming movies here on Hong Kong Island.

In fact, it is the same as the previous sacrifices. Pigs and other food are put on the table, and then incense is burned and bows are made.

I hope God can help you. Of course, I will help you shoot smoothly and sell well at the box office.

Whether it works or not, it definitely doesn’t work very well.

But when it comes to worshiping God, it doesn't matter whether director Gu Ming believes in God's blessing or not.

The important thing is to let the crew members, especially some of the Hong Kong Island members, believe that they are blessed.

It is also a form of publicity.

Others try to create hot spots and create scandals to make the name of a movie appear in the public eye.

Gu Ming would not let such an opportunity go without taking advantage of it.

Worship to God is completed.

The reporters gathered outside rushed over to interview.

There were mainland reporters who came with us, but most of them were Hong Kong reporters called over by Yinghuang and Yinduo agencies.

Unexpectedly, the first person to ask questions was Wanwan reporter, who had the smallest number.

"Mr. Gu, we saw that your actors include mainland actors, Hong Kong actors, and even foreign actors, but there are no actors like us. Is this intentional? Is this suspected of destroying a family? ?”

"Really? I didn't pay attention. I just use it when I think it's appropriate. I think paying special attention to this is really destroying the family and not treating yourself as one of your own."

Gu Ming would definitely not tell the truth about this kind of thing.

Of course, I won’t give this guy another chance to ask questions.

After answering, he immediately winked.

The two reporters on their side pulled aside the one who asked the question just now.

Let them do the interview instead.

The next questions are much more normal.

"Director Gu, you have brought together Li Lianlian, Gong Li, Zhou Xun, and Liang Jiahui for this film. Do you feel a lot of pressure? But why did you take such a big risk to make this film?"

"You only have motivation when you have pressure. As for why I make movies, I think everyone has felt it. Nowadays, Chinese-language films have indeed won awards in literary and artistic films, but the box office is not as good as each other day by day. The audience prefers to watch Hollywood blockbusters. The reason why I started from literary and artistic films The reason why the film was switched to a commercial film is to let more audiences watch the films produced by our Chinese filmmakers and starring Chinese actors."

"What is Director Gu's expectation for the box office of this film?"

"I think it can break through [-] million US dollars globally." Gu Ming directly fired a cannon at these reporters.

This made a group of people even more excited.

Many titles came to mind in an instant.

Titles like [Gu Ming’s bold words win [-] million U.S. dollars at the box office] and [Gu Dapao boasts about not drafting].

I feel deeply that I have gained a lot today.

The reporters asked Gu Ming questions one after another.

But there are only two central ideas. What supports you in reporting this number?
Can we report it higher? It will be easier for us to write reports.

After interviewing for more than an hour, the reporter was driven away by the crew.

Gu Ming stood still, looked around, and announced loudly.

"'Taken' is on!"

The first scene shot was not a small scene.

The hero's ex-wife Lili's current husband, Mr. Chen, held a grand birthday party for his [-]-year-old daughter Li Fei.

The whole courtyard of the villa is occupied by guests.

After all, it was Yang Shoucheng who offered the villa for free for filming, so Gu Ming wanted to finish filming it long ago.

I was the first to choose to shoot it, and I also got used to the ability to control the crew.

Compared with those martial arts scenes, although there are many people in this scene, it is really not that difficult.

"Hey, the equestrian master please pay attention to calming the horses."

"What are you doing with that prop? Set it up! Do you still want to do it?"

When filming scenes like this, Gu Ming knew why so many directors had bad tempers during filming.

It's really annoying.

If you don't be fierce, someone will try to be lazy.

If you all learn from others, how will you shoot in the future?
At that time, the shooting was affected by small things, but they were all red banknotes!

It's such a waste, it's a crime.

"Okay, let's begin!" The male protagonist played by Li Lianlian walked in holding a gift.

After a while, he was blocked by a handsome man in a suit and ties.

This person is Gu Ming.

He stepped forward and stopped Li Lianjie directly, "I'm sorry, sir, the parents' gathering is over there."

"I am Li Fei's father."

"Sorry, I work for her father."

In just one shot, Gu Ming finished filming and returned to the director's chair.

The male protagonist’s ex-wife Lili, played by Gong Li, came over to help the male protagonist.

She didn't want her ex-husband to see her daughter and wanted to hand over the gift.

My daughter discovered what was going on here, accepted the gift herself, and opened it on the spot. It was a karaoke machine.

The father knows that his daughter likes to sing.

And my mother didn't support it.

The daughter is very grateful for the gift from her biological father.

But sometimes!

The only downside to expensive things is that they are expensive.

When Mr. Chen, the stepfather played by Liang Jiahui, came out with a famous horse as a gift, his daughter Li Fei forgot about her father. She put the karaoke machine given by her father on the ground and ran over wildly. .

He kept shouting "Oh my God!"

I ran over and gave my stepfather a big hug.

Then I got on the horse and took a walk happily.

Mr. Chen came over and took his ex-wife away.

The protagonist is left standing alone.

Another shot of the father standing with the karaoke machine for his daughter at his feet creates a sharp contrast, and the scene here is over.

I have to say that it is worry-free to shoot with someone whose acting skills are top-notch.

Zhou Xun's acting skills are very good.

Li Lianlian's literary drama is also quite powerful.

Maybe it's because she just gave birth to a daughter, but her loving eyes are very expressive.

The loneliness of watching her daughter riding a horse can also be conveyed very well with her acting skills.

a day.

All the scenes to be shot in this villa are over.

That night, Gu Ming went to put Yan Danchen on the plane back to the capital.

She had to go back for her graduation defense.

Nothing.

Director Gu Ming can answer the question in advance.

Even if he doesn't defend, the school will have to beg him to get his diploma.

Yan Danchen's words are somewhat lacking in strength. It's not worth using favors for this. Anyway, it's only for a day or two and he'll be back the day after tomorrow.

After sending Yan Danchen away.

Return to the hotel.

Not long after the door closed.

There was a knock on the door.

Opening the door, it was Li Bingbing.

"Director Gu, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"You're welcome. You deserve this. You are the most suitable among the bunch." Gu Ming told the truth.

"Can I go in and sit down? I'm not quite sure how to play this role yet."

"That's it, then come in."

As a director, isn't it your duty to help actors grasp their roles?

This is responsibility.

Actresses, what happened to actresses?
In his previous life, Old Monster Xu personally taught me how to act charming while being held down.

The acting is more enchanting than being held down and being fucked.
