Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 97 What is a gentleman?
"what?"

"impossible!"

Hearing Zhang Yimou say that Gu Ming wanted to invest in his new movie and invest 500 million U.S. dollars in a joint production and distribution, Zhang Weiping immediately became popular.

Translation Translation, what is joint production?

Translation, translation, what is their joint release?
One family invests 500 million, and the other invests 300 million. Where can you join forces with others? How much say do you have if you join forces?
Even after the filming started, even threatening Zhang Yimou didn't work.

Others can threaten to stop filming, it’s up to you.

What if Gu Ming is really annoyed when you say this to Venus and rolls up his sleeves and does it himself?
Aren't you trying to draw water from a bamboo basket but in vain?

Not to mention that he has always looked at that boy Gu Ming and disliked him.

I tried to invest in Gu Ming's movies several times, but Gu Ming refused to let me do it.

Now that Gu Ming wants to invest in his movie, why should he let it go?

"Weiping, this is cooperation! Why are you so popular?" Zhang Yimou also knew that Zhang Weiping was a little jealous of Gu Ming, and said, "Let's make money together, nothing will be delayed."

"No, no, no!"

"Let's cooperate." Zhang Yimou is obsessed with Oscars and North American box office. He also knows that Zhang Weiping likes money. "Then it will be a big investment. With Li Lianjie, he can earn US dollars, so why not?"

Earn dollars?
When I think about it, Daystar made half of the money after joining.

Zhang Weiping was even more angry.

He and Zhang Yimou immediately started arguing.

“Why can’t we shoot for $300 million?”

"With your strength, we can still make US dollars."

"Besides, I can also go to solicit investment and use your name, Zhang Yimou, maybe I can raise more money."

"..."

This quarrel lasted for more than an hour.

In the end, Zhang Yimou still wanted to cooperate with Gu Ming.

But Zhang Weiping threatened to break up the gang, which really made him unable to recover for a while.

Sit on the sofa and think about the previous cooperation between the two of you.

When filming "If You Have Something to Say", because there was no Gongli, the investors immediately withdrew their capital. It was Zhang Weiping who took the money to invest. As a result, because it was the first time to do this kind of business, "If You Have Something to Say" made money, but Zhang Weiping lost the money. A lot of money.

Zhang Weiping was actually willing to invest in her own "No One Less" for the second time.

"No One Left Behind" went over budget and was withdrawn from Cannes. It won't be able to get the money back for the time being, and no one knows whether it will make a profit or a loss.

Zhang Weiping still invested in her own film "My Father and Mother" without saying a word.

Memories of the past.

He softened.

Picked up the phone and called Gu Ming.

"Gu Ming, let's have a meal in Donglaishun this afternoon."

"I'm still busy here. I'll hang up now. See you in the evening."

"okay."

"Hmm?" Gu Ming, who was on the other side of the phone, held the phone and squinted his eyes in thought.

Listen to this voice, is the cooperation over?
Let me go, such a big temptation is not enough?

Or is Zhang Weiping obstructing it?

Is this guy fucked so deeply?

"Then don't blame me for being a non-toxic husband!" Gu Ming, who had a low baseline, rested his hands on his chair and leaned back leisurely on his chair, a plan quickly forming in his mind.

That afternoon, Gu Ming, Gu Changwei and Zhang Yimou entered the hotel one after another.

As soon as he entered, Yan Danchen bought a new mobile phone card and helped Gu Ming call every entertainment news evening newspaper and online media. As a hotel waiter, he leaked something. Gu Ming, Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei were in Donglaishun. After dinner, it is suspected that the three of them are going to collaborate on a new movie!

The news that these three people are collaborating on a movie is full of temptation for those who work in entertainment news.

After getting the news, regardless of whether it was true or false, the vast majority of the media chose to stay silent.

in the hotel.

Gu Ming soon knew that the cooperation was over.

Moreover, Zhang Weiping strongly opposed cooperation.

Gu Ming didn't show any anger, he just kept urging him to drink.

Zhang Yimou also felt sorry for Gu Ming, and he was in a bad mood after having a quarrel with Zhang Weiping.

Drink it one by one.

Even if Gu Ming doesn't persuade him, he still drinks.

Drink until you're drunk.

Gu Ming could only carry him out with Gu Changwei after paying the bill.

As soon as he walked out, a dozen reporters gathered around him.

"Director Gu, are you and Director Zhang going to collaborate on a movie?"

"What's the name of this movie?"

"Can you tell me what the movie is about?"

"..."

Questions were asked one by one.

Gu Ming was born in the acting department after all, and had been an actor for a few years in his previous life. He suddenly looked stunned, and then turned into anger, "How did you get here? Who told you?"

"Someone saw you and Director Zhang walking into this restaurant."

"Director Gu, please answer our questions."

"No comment!" Gu Ming had a dark face and a cold eyebrow, and he and Gu Changwei just dragged Zhang Yimou into the car.

Gu Changwei didn't know where Zhang Yimou's home was.

He simply dragged Zhang Yimou back to his home.

On the other side, reporters who did not get enough information from here naturally would not let go of this explosive news, found new footage, and interviewed Zhang Weiping directly.

"Director Zhang and Gu Ming are having dinner together. Is it a new picture to be collaborated with Daystar?"

"Is it the movie that invites Takakura Kende?"

"I refuse to answer any questions." Zhang Weiping is not a fool. She knows that the first thing is to understand the truth of the matter and not to be led by the reporters.

He ended the interview and returned to the office.

Picked up the phone and called Zhang Yimou.I called more than a dozen times in a row, but Zhang Yimou didn't pick up the call.

He then called Zhang Yimou's wife again.

"Hey, is Lao Zhang at home?"

"Not here!"

"No!"

"Do not……"

The north wind blows, and the snowflakes flutter...

Zhang Weiping only felt that she had lost something!
……

That night.

Gu Ming then implemented the second phase of the plan.

This time there is no need for Yan Danchen to implement it.

Instead, he found someone he trusted, his driver.

He was recruited from Chang'an, and he found jobs for his wife and so on, so he was very strict.

Let him make the call too.

Just revealed one thing.

Zhang Yimou has a wife.

His wife is about to give birth to a baby.

After receiving the call from the driver, Gu Ming stood in front of the window, looked at the scenery outside, and stretched his neck.

Rather than being manipulated by Zhang Weiping and finally revealing some supernatural being, it would be better to let yourself leak it and detonate the thunder in advance.

At least getting married and having children is not like giving birth to a child, and it doesn't violate anything.

Hidden marriages of celebrities are even more common.

Everyone understands it.

The only person who can't understand is one person.

Zhang Yimou!
After he woke up drunk the next day, he found that his phone was almost full of calls.

A lot of people called me.

"Oh, I thought I really shouldn't drink too much. If I drink too much, I'll get into trouble."

Zhang Yimou rubbed his head and redialed the numbers in chronological order.

Reply to those closest to you first.

"Hey……"

"Old Zhang, do you have a wife? Is your wife going to have a baby soon?"

"Ah?" Zhang Yimou was stunned. No one except his close relatives and Zhang Weiping knew about this matter. Could it be that the other party wanted to deceive him?Zhang Yimou pretended that nothing was wrong, "Why did you say that?"

"This morning, many media reported on this matter. It spread to everyone."

"Don't believe it, those media just like to spread rumors!" Zhang Yimou hung up the phone after calling for a while, and called back one by one. Everyone said two things.

One thing is that he really wants to cooperate with Gu Ming?Why was he photographed in a hotel? What kind of film do you want to co-produce?Are the two co-directors?

Another thing is the problem of his wife and children.

He couldn't believe it even if he didn't want to.

Continuing to scroll back, he saw Zhang Weiping's dozen phone calls.

Thinking back on everything that had happened in the past few days, he felt that he had touched the truth.

Gu Ming asked him to cooperate.

Zhang Weiping refused.

She was photographed eating and couldn't answer the phone when she was drunk. Zhang Weiping thought she had reached an agreement with Gu Ming and couldn't find her when she went to her home, so she decided to take revenge!

"Zhang Weiping, Zhang Weiping!"

"I didn't expect you to be so ruthless. You promised to keep it a secret for me, but now you actually revealed this matter to the media."

"You're such a bastard!"

Just then, the phone rang, it was Zhang Weiping.

As soon as he picked up the call, Zhang Weiping on the opposite side roared, "Zhang Yimou, where have you been? Come back to the new screen quickly. I have something to talk to you about."

"Have I signed a film contract with your new picture?"

Zhang Yimou hung up the phone.

Originally, the two relied on their friendship to maintain their investment relationship.

I will not give up on Zhang Weiping just because of what others do.

But this time Zhang Weiping went too far.

He doesn't take the things he cares about seriously at all.

Besides, it’s not like he has no escape route.

After taking a deep breath and resting there for more than ten minutes, Zhang Yimou opened the bedroom door and walked out.

"Lao Zhang is awake! Come and eat, Wen Li cooked it by herself."

Gu Changwei, who was sitting on the sofa, waved his hand at Zhang Yimou.

"By the way, Gu Ming asked me to tell you that whenever you want to cooperate, you can come to him at any time. Daystar's door is open for you."

"Where did he go?" Zhang Yimou asked, yawning.

"American country!"

"He was halfway through the preparation of the movie called "Green Book" when he heard that you wanted to make a martial arts movie. He wanted to help you make this project bigger and see if he could try to win the Olympics."

"Didn't you refuse it?"

"He went back last night to continue filming." Gu Changwei told him everything he knew while preparing the dishes.

Zhang Yimou was moved when he heard this, and he was even a little moved in his heart.

Think about Zhang Weiping's operation of selling out her private life.

Think about it again. After hearing what happened to me, I, a little fellow, left the crew in the middle and took such a long flight back. After I refused, in order not to cause trouble to myself, I immediately flew to Los Angeles.

What is a villain?

What is a gentleman?
