Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 94 Ambition
The person who came had a big belly, his face looked full of flesh, and he had a fierce look on his face.

He couldn't even be satisfied with the red sofa, but he wanted to use his power to suppress others. In the end, Hollywood launched the "me too" movement, which led to Harvey Weinstein's reputation being ruined and then imprisoned.

At this time, Harvey still looked rosy.

The past ten years can be said to be his most proud decade.

By exploring independent films, Quentin Tarantino was cultivated as a genius director.

That "Pulp Fiction" made him a lot of money.

Started his career as an Oscar promoter.

The most famous battle was in 1999 when "Shakespeare in Love" defeated "Saving Private Ryan" and won the best picture.

By the way, I picked up Gwyneth, who is known as the most popular actress.

There was no two in the limelight for a while.

But after all, his Miramax is just a subsidiary of Disney.

Facing Gu Ming, who has a very good relationship with Sony Colombia, he can't show any arrogance, but is more enthusiastic.

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to."

"If you need cooperation in the future, please contact me."

Harvey handed over a business card.

"I have watched all your films. If you still want to make literary films in the future, my Miramax can help you. You know, I started my career by running independent films."

"I am also very good at how independent films can create maximum value. With me here, the probability of winning an Oscar will be much greater."

Harvey smiled confidently.

"Okay!"

Gu Ming also took out a business card and exchanged it with him.

He didn't have any other expressions just because of later generations' understanding of him.

There is no need to look for enemies like this.

Just change the business card.

We won’t cooperate much in the future.

Besides, this person might be useful at some point.

Of course, it would be impossible for him to maintain a good relationship with Harvey, like Matt Damon and Ben, and still make phone calls to settle matters.

Lest Harvey get his own blood splattered when the scandal finally comes out.

"Then let's make an agreement. By the way, we will not only make artistic films, but we at Miramax also have the ability to operate other films."

"Hey, Harvey, I didn't invite you here to poach directors who work with us at Sony." Anthony saw the situation here and walked over to declare, "Gu and we are old friends."

"Hi, I'm just friends with Gu. I've always liked talented directors."

"Gu, goodbye!" Harvey raised his wine glass and left with his female companion.

Gu Ming and Anthony chatted with many people.

Among them are Tobey Maguire, who plays Spider-Man, and his girlfriend in the movie, a young actress who is only 20 years old.

These two people will star in Sony's new "Spider-Man".

Spider-Man comes to mind.

Gu Ming glanced at Anthony next to him with hatred.

Sony is really degenerate!

Remakes of Spider-Man again and again, catching a sheep to pluck out its wool, even until it is almost bald.

But at the same time very helpless.

Every time it was remade, it was a box office hit every time.

The audience must bear some responsibility for allowing Sony to rest on its laurels like this!
"What's wrong?" Anthony was a little confused. After thinking about the person he had just met, he couldn't help but ask, "Falling in on Kirsten Dunst?"

After asking, Anthony steered the matter in his own favor.

"Perhaps we can invite her to do an action movie like Taken."

"what!"

Why are you talking about this again?
Gu Ming smiled helplessly, "Let's see, next time..."

"Not necessarily next time."

Gu Ming complained in his mind and chose to ignore it.

Anthony knew that he had guessed wrong, so he said nothing more.

After several hours of talking and walking, Gu Ming drove to the guest room where the party was prepared.

The female companion who had been following Gu Ming actually followed Gu Ming to the guest room.

Obviously there is something up his sleeve!

pity……

I glanced at her face and didn't recognize her.

Sorry about that.

You can't succeed.

Gu Ming's bottom line is not high, but he is afraid of death!
Who knows if there is any disease?
You know, Hollywood’s Charlie Sheen has been diagnosed with that kind of disease.

It's just terrible.

After finally reviving his life, Gu Ming didn't want to send himself to that desperate situation.

Therefore, whether it is domestic or Hollywood, unless you are a first- or second-tier actress in the future, I will not do it if you take the initiative.

For the sake of life, we must refuse!
"Are you still going in?" Gu Ming stopped at the door and glanced at his female companion.

"Ok?"

"My fiancée is in the room."

After casually making up a lie to trick the female companion away, Gu Ming walked into the guest room alone.

Looking at the scenery outside through the window, Gu Ming couldn't help but step on the floor a few times with a smile on his face.

This is Beverly Hills where many Hollywood movie stars gather!
"I come, I see, I conquer!"

"Sooner or later, I will become a director known to everyone in Hollywood!"

……

the next two days.

Gu Ming handed the script to Sony after filing it, and at the same time asked Sony to find a way to obtain the authorization of black pianist Don Shirley.

Then he stayed at the Beverly Four Seasons Hotel arranged by Anthony.

Waiting for review from Sony.

Although it is definitely necessary to invest, big companies are like this, and there are all processes that need to be followed.Otherwise, if something goes wrong, who will bear the responsibility?
Correct procedures are more important than anything else.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Hello, sir, food delivery."

Gu Ming opened the door.

A young waitress came in pushing a cart.

But Gu Ming found that something was wrong with the waitress.

There's something wrong with his eyes.

Moreover, she seems to have lowered the appearance level of the waiters in this hotel.

It's not that she's ugly, she does have a lot of freckles.

"Who are you?" Gu Ming asked.

"My name is Sophia, I am an agent of WMA Company, sir." The other party stopped pretending, stood up straight, and smiled at Gu Ming.

"Please forgive me for touching you in this way."

"But after you get out, I'm afraid no one will be able to be your agent anymore."

"WMA?"

William Morris Agency.

Hollywood dick.

If I want to work here, it would be nice to have an agent, but I don't like CAA's packaging service.

Since there is someone from the WMA agency here who came in this way.

That's not to say I couldn't give her some time to say a few words.

"Why should I look for you?"

"Because I only have you, I will focus all my energy on how to get more benefits for you. You are Chinese and you must return to China often, so you need a reliable person in Hollywood who can serve you specifically. people……"

The woman named Sophia talked for a full hour.

And when Gu Ming asked her, she knew everything.

Even his family situation was leaked.

His father is a lawyer and his mother is a dentist.

What a great couple.

However, Gu Ming would not be swayed by her words. He asked her to leave her business card and then sent her away.

Until Anthony came to the room that afternoon.

"Gu!"

"The review is passed, green light all the way!"

Anthony smiled and clapped his hands, looking at Gu Ming with a more scrutinizing look.

"Gu! I didn't expect you to be able to write a script from the 60s in the United States."

"And such a brilliant script."

"I think he will be liked by the old white men in the academy."

"I like it very much, even though I'm not old."

Anthony thought he was humorous and made a joke.

Then he introduced a middle-aged white man next to him who was about 40 years old and seemed to be a little fat.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is Miller. He is the producer of "Green Book" like you. He will help you with a lot of things you don't know much about, and it won't affect you. Shoot.”

"Hello!" Gu Ming shook hands with the man named Miller.

"Gu, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

"Me too."

"Okay, then it's time to start working." Anthony gave Gu Ming a hug, "I wish you all the best and make a good film."

"I hope so. By the way, Anthony, can you do me a favor?"

Gu Ming handed Sophia's business card to Anthony and asked him to help check the agent.

Check to see if there is any false information about herself in what she said to her before.

If it was all the truth, Gu Ming could let her be his manager since she spoke from his heart.

However, if there is even a piece of false information, this business card will never be used again.

A person who comes in to meet himself in this way.

If she concealed something in the information she told him, Gu Ming had no reason to choose her.

Hollywood is different from China.

Brokerage companies are all independent.

But as a major studio, Sony Columbia can be said to have a good relationship with every agency.

Checking out a small agent is effortless.

It didn’t even take half a day.

In the evening after Anthony left, he called Gu Ming.

"My father is a lawyer and my mother is a dentist. In..."

Said a long list of information.

On the contrary, they can all be compared with what Sophia introduced herself.

Gu Ming gave this courageous female agent a chance.

The contract is only for two years, not the maximum three years, and the commission is only [-]%.

This is the price she has to pay as a new person.

At this point, Sophia shook Gu Ming's hand with excitement, "Thank you, Gu, I will never let you regret your choice today."

……

In fact, Gu Ming can become a hands-off shopkeeper and return to China directly.

Everything is left to Miller, the producer, and he only needs to make a few phone calls on more important things and wait for filming to take place.

But it was still a film that was competing for the Olympics, and Gu Ming also wanted to know how a crew in Hollywood works. After calling Yan Danchen and Gao Yuanyuan and telling them that they would not go back in the near future, Gu Ming Ming was involved in almost all aspects.

The first thing is the crew preparation.

In order to have the right to speak, Gu Ming directly placed several Daystar crew members on the crew.
