Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 137 Huayu Zhou Chaoxian

"I wipe..."

In Daystar's office, Han Sanpin couldn't help but curse.

His eyes were wide open, looking at Gu Ming.

"is that true?"

"Will Smith? Dustin Hoffman? Two Hollywood superstars?"

"What do you say?"

"Brother and I, what good will it do to me if you lie?"

Gu Ming shrugged and took out the plan.

And a copy of the contract signed with the two leading actors was handed to Han Sanpin.

You can have a look.

The real deal.

"Silk……"

Han Sanpin was indeed a little shocked.

He really didn't expect that his young friends would actually get to this point.

I still remember the first time we met, in 98.

This is only 02.

In four years, he has been promoted from a somewhat unknown director to the point where he is in charge of film production in Hollywood and invites top-tier movie stars to collaborate.

Ever since "Taken" became a hit at the North American box office, he had thought that this day might come.

But this day comes too soon, right?

Zhang Yimou has been around for more than ten years, and he still has to rely on new pictures. He has not reached the point where he can be the boss.

This kid is so awesome.

"As expected of a young man! He is so fierce."

Han Sanpin glanced at Gu Ming enviously, "I'm a little envious of you."

"That's an exaggeration. I should be envious of you. In this circle, if you stomp your feet, the whole circle will tremble."

"Stop talking about this. I'm just an empty frame in this position. There are too many mothers-in-law above me to count. You have to consider whoever speaks." Han Sanpin waved his hand, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about this movie. It’s about that, how much money do you still lack?”

"Hey, how can you say I'm short of money?"

This name must be made clear.

Otherwise, in the end, it will not be me taking them to Hollywood to make money, but I will be short of money and others will invest in me.The favor was suddenly reversed, and I owed them a favor.

So Gu Ming specially emphasized it.

"When it comes to money, the money in my Venus account is more than enough. You can do it without looking for me, brother."

"Why are you looking for someone?"

"Isn't this just to give everyone a chance to invest in Hollywood films?"

"I can earn both fame and money. Isn't it wonderful to kill two birds with one stone?"

"I am here to lead everyone to develop together!"

"You actually think I'm short of money."

"Brother, if you don't want to, then I'll invest all the money myself and won't look for you. You should just concentrate on your "The Promise". That's okay, right?"

"Look at you, why are you so anxious?" Han Sanpin smiled and made a gesture of pressing down his palms, "Where did I say I wouldn't vote?"

"I still can't believe the film you made?"

"Not to mention that this time there is a superstar, an A-list star in the film."

“Why wouldn’t I invest in a business that is sure to make a profit without losing any money?”

"I'll invest all of the US$500 million, okay?"

"It's not good. As I said, it's not a lack of money, but to give everyone a chance. Brother, if you eat all your share, what else do you have to eat?"

"Five million US dollars." Gu Ming gave a number.

"Your family accounts for one-third. If others are unwilling to seize this opportunity, China Film Group will make up the rest."

"Okay!" Han Sanpin stopped fighting.

I still have to prepare money, and after the success of "Hero", I will cast "The Promise" for Brother Chen Kai.

Based on his understanding of Brother Chen Kai, the production cost was said to be US$500 million.

There is also the possibility of overspending in the end.

No matter how wealthy China Film Group is, there is still financial pressure.

Just invest less.

……

In the Daystar Conference Room.

In order to prevent one person from being dissatisfied with the share and the other from being dissatisfied with the share, I have to coordinate in various ways.

Except that China Film Group directly allocated US$500 million.

Gu Ming called the others to the conference room at a fixed time.

If you want to fight for it, you have to fight for it yourself. Don’t ask me to put in too much effort.

Looking around, Gu Ming suddenly felt like he was entertaining Zhou Chaoxian.

The person sitting right now can be said to be the backbone of the entire Chinese film and television industry.

Director of Xiying Film Studio and Shanghai Film Studio.

Huayi Wang Zhonglei, Yinghuang Huo Wenxi, and others who were not invited but came over after hearing the news.

The glamorous boss Wang Changtian.

He also has ambitions to enter the film industry.

Besides, from the beginning to now, none of Gu Ming's films has lost money.

He also wanted to participate in a business that was sure to make a profit without losing any money.

Let’s get to know Gu Ming by the way.

"All right."

Checked his watch.

Gu Ming raised his hand to signal, and the assistant distributed the prepared documents to the seated bosses, letting them read the project introduction first.

10 minute later.

Only after everyone had finished reading the documents in their hands did Gu Ming speak.

"Let me introduce to you."

As soon as I started talking, the door opened.

Zhang Weiping opened the door and walked in with a calm face.After looking around but not finding his position, his face changed slightly.

He nodded apologetically towards Gu Ming, "I'm sorry, I'm late. The traffic jam in the capital is too severe."

"Traffic jam?"

Gu Ming really wanted to ask, what kind of car do you drive?

If you're stuck in a traffic jam, you won't be qualified to attend our meeting at all.

If you are eleven minutes late, you are not paying attention to this meeting, and you are looking down on us.

Why do you want us to treat you as brothers?

I'll go home and wait for the call. I'll let you know the results!
But Gu Ming is a cultural person and a serious entrepreneur. He cannot be so arrogant, and there is no need to express dissatisfaction in this way.

He raised his hand and asked his assistant to find a chair for Zhang Weiping, and then continued talking.

"People didn't dare to invest in Hollywood before. To be honest, I didn't dare either. There were too many twists and turns."

"But I have set up a company there. This time I want to make a new film. I will direct it myself and cast two Hollywood stars to star in it. I have already negotiated a good distribution contract."

"This time I want to take everyone with me to make money."

"There is still a share of 1000 million. If you are willing to buy it, just buy it. If you don't want to, there is no need to force it."

"In addition, I am a villain first and a gentleman second. For the profit I earn, I must first pay the production company 15.00% management fee, and then give 15.00% of the profit to the production company, and we will share the rest together. This is considered The rules of Hollywood are gone, so I can only eat less, and I can’t be so unruly, otherwise I won’t be able to stay there in the future.”

"What I can promise you is that I won't do any tricks here, and after the profits are recovered, I won't deliberately delay payment. Within three months, they will be distributed to everyone's account."

"Okay, now that I've finished speaking, you can vote as much as you want."

"Our West Film Studio invested US$500 million!"

"We also invested 500 million in SIFF."

"It wouldn't be a bad idea to reconcile the two families in this way, right?" Huo Wen smiled faintly, "We at Yinghuang also want to cooperate with Director Gu, and we can also spend 500 million."

"Everyone should come up with a suitable number. Who knows how long we will have to fight for?" Huayi Wang Zhonglei's smile is quite kind, and he also knows that no one can get 500 million except China Film. As for the share, he was the first to give in. He wanted to occupy a suitable and better share, "We Huayi don't want much, only 200 million US dollars."

"..."

Every family is optimistic about Gu Ming, who has never failed to make a movie, and every time it is hugely profitable.

I want to invest more.

The more you invest, the more you earn.

In addition, these days, there are too few things that can make money and gain fame.

The fighting was still very intense.

After arguing for a long time, and with Gu Ming finally speaking, a preliminary agreement was reached.

Huayi took 200 million, Xiying Film Studio, Shanghai Film Studio, and Yinghuang each took out 230 million.

Guangxian Wang Changtian took out 100 million.

The remaining [-] belongs to Zhang Weiping of New Picture.

His face was so ugly.

But he still can't attack.

I don’t know if Gu Ming and those people seemed to be suppressing him in concert.

Gu Ming had deducted this share of one hundred thousand dollars from others, otherwise no one would have been prepared to leave it to him.

Now that I have an attack, I can only quit the film and television industry.

He could only endure it.

He nodded in agreement and paid [-].

"Okay, happy cooperation, everyone!"

"I believe you will not regret this choice."

"Director Gu, should we hold a signing ceremony or something?" Wang Zhonglei suggested.

They do it for money and fame.

But this is called financing filming, and the producer will not add their names.

Where did the name come from?

Of course it comes from publicity!
It doesn't matter whether they are famous abroad or not. It's enough to let domestic audiences think they are famous and let other actors know that they can invest in Hollywood.

"That's right! Find some media to promote it."

Everyone agreed.

Anyway, it's not a big deal, and it can also promote his reputation. After all, he is the main accuser, so Gu Ming agreed.

"Then let's sign the contract tomorrow!"

"Tell everyone the good news."

"Don't leave, everyone, let's have a meal together." By the way, we can enhance our relationship.

……

In a high-end hotel closest to Daystar.

Wang Changtian held the wine and toasted Gu Ming with a smile.

"I've heard of Director Gu before, mostly from photos in reports."

"When I saw him today, he was really a hero at a young age."

"You're welcome, I'm just a director."

"No! Director Gu can take our domestic film and television companies overseas to invest in Hollywood. He is a hero."

"I'll do it, you can do whatever you want." Wang Changtian drank it all in one gulp.

"If Director Gu is able in the future, can he help us shine? I'm very interested in Director Gu's movies."

"You're welcome. I dare not say too much. It's okay to invest together. Let's share what we have. If there are suitable programs in the future, we can also look for more Venus artists."

It's easier to travel when you have more friends.

This is also the reason why Gu Ming pulled so many people to invest in "The Untouchable".

China is not South Korea. If you want to swallow up the film and television industry in one go and become a unicorn accounting for 70.00% of it, you are just dreaming.

Moreover, with so many artists under his command, it is impossible for everyone to be in a movie that Gu Minglai wants to make.

Thinking of three or four movies a year is enough.

The protagonists of these three or four films are definitely for relatively popular artists.

What about the remaining artists?If you want to be a protagonist, you can only go to a TV series invested by others.

The more money they can make, the more they can take a cut.

Hello, I’m hello, everyone, why not?
……

What Gu Ming didn't expect was that before the signing ceremony even started, someone heard the news and came to inquire if there were any suitable roles for this film.
