Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 92 It's All Mine
"The winner of the Jury Prize at the 51st Berlin International Film Festival is "Shanghai Dreams"."

This is also the English title of "Green Red".

A simple and direct summary of Qinghong’s father’s dream!
"Oh!"

Wang Xiaoshuai stood up after a brief daze.

"Thank you, Director Gu Jiyan."

"Congratulations, but good luck must also be matched with good luck. Your luck seems to be good this year!"

He said something that only Gu Ming could understand.

After giving him a polite hug, Gu Ming sat down and clapped.

The smile on his lips could no longer be suppressed.

This time, make a big profit!

This award is different from the Cannes Jury Award that Qinghong won in her previous life, which didn't even have a big character on it.

Just by selling the copyright fees, I can get back all the 400 million I invested, and double my profits.

Not only make money, but also fame.

In the future, directors who pursue awards will have a new company to attract investment. Then they will be able to easily screen and see who can make money and who cannot.

"It's as if your mouth has been opened!" Gao Yuanyuan looked at Wang Xiaoshuai's acceptance speech on the stage with envy, tilting his body towards Gu Ming, "You said I really have no chance to win the film festival Movie queen?"

"Have!"

"Really?"

"Queen of the Houston Film Festival."

"Houston Film Festival?" Gao Yuanyuan frowned, "What kind of award is this? Why haven't I heard of it? Is it an A-level film festival?"

"What do you say?"

"I'm talking about the three major movie queens." Gao Yuanyuan emphasized once, looking at Gu Ming with a smile, "Hey, can you use your open mouth to say that I can win the three major movie queens? Maybe when Just took it.”

Gu Ming suddenly fell silent.

You are clearly trying to embarrass me.

It's too difficult!

It can be said that it helps Zhou Xun win the top three, but it is said that it helps Gao Yuanyuan win the top three.

If I could do that, it would not be that I had received enlightenment, but that I would follow the instructions.

"You think the Big Three is owned by my family?"

"Haha, just kidding." Gao Yuanyuan laughed.

She had the idea of ​​becoming an actress, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to the ravine to film "Blue and Red".

But my family knows my own affairs.

"My appearance is pretty good. There is no hope before the age of 35. I will probably become ugly in more than ten years. Then I can try to fight for it."

"Maybe." Gu Ming looked at Gao Yuanyuan aside, feeling helpless in his heart.

Being in your 30s is definitely different than now.

It's more feminine.

Became a generation tiger goddess.

Not only was he no closer to the Queen of Shadows, but he was further away.

The movie queen thought, maybe I really have to go to the Houston Film Festival to get it.

After all, anyone can get it, and Gao Yuanyuan is no worse than her.

Awards night is over.

Gu Ming and Wang Xiaoshuai started selling movies together the next day.

Japan, South Korea and the United States still gave it to their old friend Sony, with a total price of US$180 million.

In Europe, it’s still MK2, priced at US$160 million.

The remaining bits and pieces totaled 150 million.

That adds up to nearly $500 million.

What's more important is that no one gets a share of "Qinghong" this time, it's all Gu Ming's net profit.

Thinking of this, the smile on Gu Ming's face became even brighter.

Seeing Gu Ming's expression, Wang Xiaoshuai was also very happy.

I'm not happy that I made more money for my boss. The boss can finally change his villa and luxury car.

But this time he became famous!

Not only did he win an award, but he also proved that his videos can also make a lot of money!
Bring huge returns to investors.

After returning to China this time, he has established himself in the film industry.

Remuneration will skyrocket, and it will become easy to attract investment.

And investors will definitely listen to themselves.

"This time I will strive for excellence, raise an investment of 1000 million, and make a good film."

Looking around, Wang Xiaoshuai feels that his future is really bright.

With 400 million, Gu Ming can still produce a film that won the Berlin Jury Prize, but with 1000 million, if he had free reign, he wouldn't be able to take off?

Glancing at Gu Ming, he felt like he had seen his future self.

He will follow Gu Ming's path.

First win the Berlin Jury Prize, then win a top three, become a well-known director in China, and reach the pinnacle of life and career.

"Director Gu, are you Venus interested in investing in my next movie?"

Think about the feeling of being restricted in every aspect from raising investment to filming "Green Red".

Wang Xiaoshuai felt that he could finally turn over and let out a sigh of relief.

With a bit of joy, he turned to look at Gu Ming.

"After all, this "Green Red" was invested by your director Gu. If Venus is willing to invest in the new work, I will still leave it to you, but I can only give you half. There are so many favors that I can't refuse at all. This director Gu You are also a director, so you should be able to understand."

"Understood. Is there a new script?" Gu Ming asked.

"It's just an idea for now."

"Tell me about it." Gu Ming noticed that Wang Xiaoshuai's expression was a bit off, as if he was drunk, but he didn't think much about it.

It's normal to be like this after winning a big prize.

It's floating.

You have to drift too.

Not to mention international awards, how many people are so excited that they can't sleep after winning a city-level top student?
"Yeah." Wang Xiaoshuai was not worried about Gu Ming borrowing his story, and said slowly after a few seconds.

"I still want to focus on my father."

"Didn't Xiao Gen get shot in the end in "Qing Hong"? What do you think his father thought?"

"What would his father's mentality be like if he hadn't been home for a long time and lacked love for his son?"

“So what I wanted to do was the story of a sea captain.”

"Because of his work, he neglected to care for his son, and as a result, his son was shot to death during the attack. He returned home to understand the story of his son's changes over the years."

"Oh..." Gu Ming probably knew which film he wanted to make, so he asked by the way, "How much is the investment?"

"1000 million!"

"So many!" Gu Ming almost said that I wouldn't vote.

The concept he just came up with was made by Wang Xiaoshuai in his previous life in 2010.

The domestic box office is only about 500 to [-] million yuan.

It was shortlisted for the Cannes main competition, but did not win the award.

The rating is not very high either.

For such a film, if the investment of 400 to [-] million yuan could recover the cost, Gu Ming would still be interested.

1000 million!

It's just a finalist in the main competition unit of Cannes, it can't make back the cost!
Fame and fortune.

A business that loses money is no longer profitable.

The reputation is also not good, and the reputation cannot be bought much.

Gu Ming really didn't have much interest.

"Is this still a lot?" Wang Xiaoshuai expressed doubts about the cost. "Actually, I think 1000 million is not enough. This time I want to craft a good film and hire some well-known actors as actors. At this price You can't go any lower, Director Gu."

"That's it!"

Gu Ming didn't want to vote, but his expression was extremely accurate, making him look regretful.

"such a pity!"

“My Morning Star stall is too big.”

"I have invested a lot of money in U.S. stocks again. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you, Director Wang."

help?

Wang Xiaoshuai blinked quickly several times, smiled and shook his head, "That's really unfortunate, but many people have already said they want to invest in me. I should be able to get the 1000 million together."

"If you don't have enough, tell me! If there isn't much, I can still look for friends to see if they can invest in your film."

"Okay!" Wang Xiaoshuai thanked Gu Ming.

But in my heart, I didn't think about looking for Gu Ming again.

Before, considering that Gu Ming had invested in him in "Green Red", he didn't realize that he would turn away from the second film.

Since Gu Ming has no money.

Then he is welcome.

He really didn't want to go through the days of being stared at by the producers sent by Daystar again.

He also has to think like other directors, shoot how you want, shoot wherever you want, and no one will say that you shouldn't spend this much, or that it exceeds the standard.

For movies, the director should have the final say.

If everything is restricted by investors, can it still be called creation?
Gao Yuanyuan felt something was wrong inside, and looked towards the two of them several times, but hesitated to speak.

It wasn't until night that he lay on Gu Ming's shoulder after a battle and asked curiously, "Really no money? I have some savings from filming dramas and commercials over the years, and I can spare more than 100 million. If you are short of money, He said, I think Director Wang is very talented and his movies are worth investing in."

His movies are worth investing in.

But his movie is not worth investing in!
Gu Ming couldn't tell Gao Yuanyuan clearly, so he could only shake his head, "I don't like using my woman's money."

"Then you won't vote?"

"Hey, it's impossible to vote for every movie. If you miss this one, there will be another one, so don't worry about me."

Gu Ming picked up a book next to him and started reading.

look at.

"Ah! What are you doing?"

"Wet your hands so you can flip through the book."

……

After selling the copyright, I returned to the capital.

Gu Ming was originally planning to go directly to the United States.

But I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to leave this time.

A group of people not only wanted Wang Xiaoshuai to participate in the symposium, but also involved themselves.

Talk about how to help the development of Chinese films, invest in directors, etc.

It's simply more boring than attending a symposium after filming a movie.

Fortunately, there was a guest named Gu Changwei next to him.

"Have you finished filming "Tuya's Marriage"?" Gu Ming was a little surprised.

Ever since he last attended the press conference of "Tuya's Marriage", Gu Changwei seemed to have disappeared and had not been in contact much.

I didn't expect to see you here today.

"The shooting is finished. I just came back. I will start post-production in a few days."

“Stop by and join these meetings.”

"Aren't you bored?"

"It's quite boring, but it's better than being on the grassland. It makes me feel like I'm living in modern times. When I close my eyes now, I see the desolate prairie."

Gu Changwei sighed in admiration.

"You don't know how cold the winter is on the grassland!"

"Baimaofeng, I've really learned a lot."

"It's okay, it's all worth it." Gu Ming encouraged, "You will be the one to hold the symposium next time."

"Who's to say that's right?"

Gu Changwei curled his lips and sat up straight the next second, looking at Gu Ming seriously.

"I suddenly remembered, promise me something."
