Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 83 Vibration
North American Film Market.

As the largest film market in the world.

I don’t know how many directors and filmmakers from other countries want to break into this industry and become famous all over the world.

China is no exception.

But for a long time, mainland films have been modeled after the French New Wave, and are more oriented towards the European literary and artistic film circles.

Business is simply not doing enough in this regard.

The only company that has repeatedly tried to break into the North American market is Golden Harvest on Hong Kong Island.

But in addition to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, it also experienced several failures before successfully breaking into the movie with Jackie Chan's "Red Zone" and earning more than 3000 million at the box office.

It laid the beginning of Jackie Chan's world-class influence.

As soon as the news came out that "Taken" had grossed US$7000 million at the North American box office in ten days, it was spread back to China.

7000 million US dollars, a total of nearly [-] million yuan!
This news is not only spread by the entertainment media.

Even the serious "Zhuang Dian Er Taiwan" news reported on it.

It is highly praised as the beginning of my country's film going overseas, symbolizing that my country's commercial films are developing rapidly. In addition to meeting the people's growing spiritual and cultural needs, they can also penetrate overseas and create real international influence.

a time.

Even outsiders know that there is such a movie that is very popular in the United States.

At this time, when everyone lacks self-confidence the most.

After hearing the news, everyone talked about Gu Ming and Li Lianjie with one word, awesome!

Because of nationality issues.

Therefore, the media is deliberately guiding, and more people are giving Gu Ming the credit.

Gu Ming's life was introduced over and over again.

Everyone is talking about the name of director Gu Ming!
It feels quite like when Zhang Yimou won the Golden Bear for "Red Sorghum".

Full of compliments.

Even Dad Gu, the director of the mascot factory, has some vague power, and they all want to rely on this connection to get better friends with Gu Ming. Don't kick them when the sequel to "Hurricane Rescue" is made. Kick away.

Dad Gu doesn't care too much about this.

Instead, he often hangs around his home and factory.

Everyone I meet has to talk about current affairs, and as we chat, we talk about the recent "Taken", "Hey, my son filmed it, but the film is still not good enough. I will urge him to earn more dollars and contribute to the film industry." To bring glory to the country.”

……

People outside the circle are discussing it so enthusiastically.

Not to mention insiders.

They know very well what 7000 million in ten days is.

Even if the Christmas season in North America is hotly contested next, even though this is an action movie rather than Jackie Chan's kung fu comedy, the audience is smaller, and even though the box office of "Taken" has a clear downward trend.

But there are still fifty days left, and even if it climbs, it can reach a box office of over [-] million in North America!

Entering a different stage in one fell swoop.

Envy, deeply envy.

I am still here desperately looking for connections to attract investment for millions of dollars. In order to be happy with the 3000 million box office, people have moved the film to Hollywood, the center of world cinema.

It may also earn over [-] million US dollars at the box office.

It's simply a comparison of people, maddening people!
But the people who invested in this film are different. Huayi's big and small kings are smiling all day long.

With so much box office sales in North America, the copyrights in other places are much easier to sell. The nearly 200 million US dollars invested before not only earned fame, but also earned back 400 million US dollars.

That’s more than 3000 million yuan!
"Brother, can we start that plan? Pull Wang Jinhua onto Hua Yi's chariot. Gu Ming prefers young actors. Wang Jinhua has a lot of capable men in his hands."

"Our Huayi artist economic business may not be weaker than Daystar's by then."

"Yeah! Go ahead and do it."

On the day he received the news, Wang Zhonglei took advantage of the situation and discussed the idea of ​​cooperating with Wang Jinhua to set up an economic company.

Let Wang Jinhua take the shares, and Huayi will also provide film resources to Wang Jinhua's artists.

In fact, the two have been friends for a long time.

Wang Jinhua also intended to find a backer for herself.

As soon as this request came out, Wang Jinhua had already agreed in his heart, but he could not only represent himself, so he went to talk to his artists, such as Chen Daoming, Hu Jun, etc.

No one has any objection to this matter.

Only Li Bingbing got stuck.

"I'm sorry, Sister Hua, if you join Huayi, I might not be able to serve you."

"Where are you going?" Wang Jinhua was a little confused. "Am I not good enough for you?"

"No!"

Li Bingbing shook his head.

No one can say anything bad about Wang Jinhua's attitude towards her artists.

But there are some things that cannot be determined by just two words: attitude.

No matter how good your attitude is, it doesn't mean how much development you can bring to yourself!
To think of that man being successful in Hollywood.

She felt itchy.

Even though I know it will be very difficult when the time comes, there are still people within Daystar who are competing with me.

She couldn't resist the temptation of words such as Hollywood and international movie stars.

If you go to Daystar, you will at least have hope. If you go to Huayi, there will be no hope at all!
and……

"I have promised Director Gu that if you will join Huayi, I will go to his Venus."

"Gu Ming..."

Hear the word.

Wang Jinhua's heart skipped a beat. She knew she had lost.

There is no possibility of winning.

Unless he can manage his business in Hollywood, even if ten of them are tied together, none of them will be as attractive as Gu Ming in the eyes of actors.

And he can't get angry with Li Bingbing. Who knows when he will need to match up with Gu Ming?
Thinking of this, Wang Jinhua smiled and said.

"Bingbing."

"We have been working together for so many years."

"Since you don't want to follow me to Huayi and want to find a better future, I wish you the best." After saying that, he stretched out his hands and gave Li Bingbing a hug.

"Don't talk about termination money or anything like that. We are friends. I will let you go for free. Remember to work hard. You still have great potential."

"Thank you, Miss Hua."

Li Bingbing terminated the contract that day. She also wanted to give Wang Jinhua part of the money she had earned in the past few years, but the other party refused to accept it, so she stopped giving it.

I went to Venus with my free body.

Gu Ming had already given instructions to Li Xiaoping, and Li Xiaoping signed a contract with Li Bingbing that was the same as Jinsuo without waiting for Gu Ming to come back.

……

Beijing International Airport.

A Boeing 747 lands slowly.

After more than ten hours, Gu Ming finally returned to his motherland.

He and his assistant took their luggage and walked out of the station.

Gu Ming was surrounded by several people he knew.

There are Yan Danchen, Han Sanpin, Li Xiaoping, Li Xuejian...

Uh……

Gao Yuanyuan's words.

There was a saying that two Phoenixes should not meet each other, so Gu Ming did not tell her the news.

As for the reason why Gu Ming chose to be so low-key, it was very simple.

You know your own business.

If the reporter knew the exact time of his return to China, the place would be completely surrounded and he would not be able to walk more than ten meters in an hour.

So just keep a low profile.

I only told a few acquaintances, and specifically asked them not to reveal my whereabouts.

If reporters have any questions, there will always be a press conference.

"Thank you!" Yan Danchen was the first to rush forward and give Gu Ming a hug, followed by a kiss of victory imitating the classic 1945.

"They're all watching." Yan Danchen was shy but enjoying the moment.

"Hehe." Gu Ming let go of Yan Danchen and then turned his attention to the others.

"Brother Gu! That's awesome!"

"It really brings glory to us Chinese filmmakers!" Han Sanpin came over with a smile and punched Gu Ming on the shoulder.

"Hey, Brother Han, don't say such polite words. Let's go and eat first."

"Let's go! I've ordered it for you a long time ago. We have to get drunk today!"

Had a good meal of authentic Chinese cuisine.

The news that Gu Ming was back spread like wildfire.

The next day, dozens of reporters gathered directly at the door of Daystar's building, quite determined not to stop until they interviewed Gu Ming.

All Gu Ming could do was ask Li Xiaoping to hold a press conference.

Looking at the long guns and short guns in the audience.

Gu Ming had long been accustomed to this kind of situation. He smiled slightly and pointed at a reporter who looked familiar.

"Director Gu, did you have any expectations for the great success of "Turmaniac" in the North American market?"

"I remember I said before that the expectation for this film is US$[-] million worldwide." Gu Ming recalled it for everyone, and said with a slight humility, "Now it seems that it is about to reach this number."

As soon as this word comes out.

The reporters in the audience didn’t know what to say.

When Gu Ming initially announced that the global box office would reach US$[-] million, most of them thought that Gu Ming was exaggerating and doing a gimmick.

But who would have thought that the North American market alone could reach US$[-] million!

Bullshit, I can do it.

That's not bragging.

But it’s really awesome!

The reporters all felt a little excited for a moment, feeling like they were witnessing a new era.

Questions were asked repeatedly, but most of them were focused on the box office.

"For example, do you think the global box office can exceed [-] million US dollars in the future?"

"I think it's fine."

Even if he didn't feel confident, Gu Ming still had to have confidence.

This confidence is for Hollywood distributors.

Your director is not confident, so how can overseas copyrights from other places be sold at high prices?

For money, there's nothing wrong with setting up a cannon.

I believe that those in China will not cling to this matter when the time comes.

"Director Gu, will you specialize in Hollywood in the future?"

"I will film in Hollywood, but I will not give up on domestic production. I will try my best to take care of both sides."

"Director Gu, how much do you think the domestic box office can be?"

"One hundred million!"

Gu Ming gave his own judgment.

This press conference took an hour overtime before it ended.

After the press conference.

Gu Ming chatted with Li Xiaoping for a while and gave her a few words of advice, "In short, hold on, let's sit tight on Diaoyutai now."

"I see!"

Li Xiaoping nodded, immediately left the venue and rushed to China Film.

She also has a very important meeting to show up as a villain.

This meeting is very important!

It is related to the development of many domestic producers.

In the future, it may be recorded in the history of domestic films and leave a mark!
