Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 144 Chen Kun’s Secret

At this time, Xu Jian looked a little thinner than in later generations, and wore a pair of black round glasses.

His appearance is more stable than that of his peers.

But after seeing Gu Ming, the smile on his face never faded.

"Hello, Director Gu."

"I have always wanted to meet you before, but unfortunately, the most recent time was at the movie premiere."

"I admire your company very much. Not only has it launched high-quality movies one after another, but it has also earned a lot of box office abroad. Even your company's TV series have been able to go overseas many times."

"It is simply a benchmark for the domestic film and television industry!"

"Yeah." He had heard this kind of words too much, so Gu Ming went straight into his left ear and out his right ear, and then talked to him about the key points.

"You know why I found you, right?"

"Well, I'm in charge of Chang'an Tiangong Color Special Effects Company." Xu Jian nodded. He was eager for this job, but he still told the truth, "I have been exposed to special effects, but to be honest, I just know."

"I didn't specialize in special effects production before. We don't have any professional special effects production companies in China, so I have very little contact with them."

"Then if this job is given to you, are you confident that you can do it well?" Gu Ming asked.

"Have!"

“Which do you think is the best special effects company in China?”

"Hong Kong Sento Digital, which produced "The Storm"."

"That's enough." Gu Ming smiled. A special effects company that can turn a small studio of five people into an almost equal share of the domestic special effects market with Tiangong Yicai. Gu Ming can trust such a person and his talent. .

"You and several vice presidents sent by the company will be in charge of the subsidiary company. You can contact Li Xiaoping anytime and anywhere, or even call me directly."

"I'll give you two months to put up the shelf first."

"Lack of hardware facilities, buy, lack of software, buy, lack of people, recruit, or dig high salary, in a word, within two years, I want Tiangong Color to become a special effects company comparable to Hong Kong Island Xian Tao."

"The company will invest 1000 million US dollars in advance, so you don't have to worry about money."

"As for business, you can choose the special effects required for my next movie first, and be responsible for some of the less difficult special effects that you think you can afford. I will find Hollywood to produce the rest."

"In short, work hard and you can really make it happen. Don't worry about options or anything like that. As long as you are useful to the company, I won't be stingy."

If a company wants to grow, it needs talents.

As for real talents, they will definitely not be satisfied with just that small salary.

Gu Ming can't hold 90.00% of Jiu's shares forever.

What's more, it's an option for a subsidiary. As long as the purpose can be achieved, it doesn't matter if it is given out.

As for money, let’s just say that the shares of NetEase I bought are enough to live a wealthy life for several lifetimes.

Now, in addition to making movies, what Gu Ming also wants to do is to expand his influence and maintain his wealth and status.

Industry, industry, industry!

The influence and status of a person who only owns [-] million yuan and a rich man with an asset of [-] million yuan cannot be equated.

If a special effects company does a good job, hundreds of people will not be a problem.

These are hundreds of highly paid personnel.

In addition, the special effects company will pay taxes in Chang'an.

And its potential influence is likely to become the benchmark for domestic special effects companies.

Ah!
The lair has been made a little more stable.

And it is always right to make the lair more stable.

By then, maybe we can become the Pizza Hut in a certain area and the invincible player in a certain area.

Of course, we are still far from that step.

"Well! The young man still needs to work hard!"

After silently cheering himself up, Gu Ming asked Xu Jian to go find Li Xiaoping.

……

As for Gu Ming, he is preparing for his next movie to be shot in China.

First, I called Huang Xiaoming.

"exist?"

"Not here." Huang Xiaoming's smiling voice came from inside, "I'm filming "The Emperor" here in Hengdian."

"Oh, let me tell you something. My next movie will be a big investment. It will hit the North American market. You may be one of the leading actors. When you have nothing to do in advance, find a magician and practice playing cards. You and Chen Kun are both candidates. Whoever practices well will get the role." In fact, the role is enough for the two of them, but in order to make them practice hard so that they can perform the required effects of the role, they still have to be given Some pressure.

"Playing poker? God of Gamblers? You want to make a gambling movie?"

"How much do you want to bet? Is it not banned? I still want to show it in China. It's magic. You just need to practice magic for me. You have at least half a year. By then, if you are not as good as others, you will be banned. If you keep brushing it, don’t blame me for not being interesting enough!”

"How long is half a year?"

"Um..." Within half a year, no matter where you are in the country, you will probably not be allowed to have so many people gathering together to film a movie.

But you can’t say this!
Gu Ming responded casually, "I have to finish working on "The Intouchables" first. The drama I told you about still requires a lot of preliminary work, which will take about half a year."

"Anyway, once you practice to a proficient level, don't look at me like you are a beginner."

"No problem, isn't it just the work at hand, my strength, I'll go, Lao Gu, the director asked me to film."

"Then hang up first." Gu Ming took the initiative to hang up the phone.

Picking up the phone, he called Chen Kun again.

After learning that he was at home in Beijing.

Gu Ming said no more.Instead, he went to Chen Kun's villa in Beijing in person after asking for the address.

There was no need to ring the doorbell or anything. Not long after entering the community gate, Chen Kun was already waiting at the door, "Pengpi is so brilliant!"

"Stop being polite, we are old classmates, why are you pretending? Hahaha."

Gu Ming walked in with a smile.

After entering, Gu Ming noticed something was wrong as soon as he sat down.

Why are there children crying?

I go……

Do the math.

Gu Ming was shocked. He had changed his trajectory, or did he have a child?
Can’t even flap the butterfly’s wings?

"Hehehe!" Chen Kun saw the change in Gu Ming's face and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"What are you embarrassed about?" Gu Ming took advantage of the situation and asked, "Your son?"

"How did you know it was your son?" Chen Kun was a little surprised.

"Really?"

The inertia of history is really strong!

Gu Ming sighed and stood up, "Just a guess, no, then I have to take a look."

"Look, you didn't tell me earlier, otherwise you would have to sell me a gift or something."

"No, just take a look. Why should I buy a gift?" Chen Kun led the way and led Gu Ming to the second floor. Then he saw his one-year-old son in a room.

Already able to stagger away.

Take a look at the child's face.

Three-year-olds look big, seven-year-olds look old.

One year old, even one year old can tell that this child is not as good-looking as his father, far from it!

"When was this born? Why didn't you tell me? I've been pregnant for so long and I didn't tell you."

"Aren't you busy?" Chen Kun smiled. At that time, you were in the United States to compete for the Oscar. "Why bother you for such a small thing?"

"Besides, I didn't know when I was pregnant. It was when my mother brought him to me when I was in the mountain city that I found out that there was such a son. I was quite surprised at the time."

"So, what the fuck?"

Gu Ming saw that the person looking after the child was a protector in his 50s.

After looking around for a week and seeing no other women, I asked this question that I had always wanted to know in future generations.

This is one of the three famous unsolved mysteries in the entertainment industry!
And no matter how these so-called three unsolved mysteries are compiled, most of them will have this one: Who is the mother of Chen Kun's son?
Looking at this opportunity, Gu Ming also wanted to satisfy his curiosity.

"Hey, don't ask." Chen Kun shook his head, "Just let me keep a secret."

"Which one of us is following which one? Can't you tell me?"

"He who is in our class?"

"No." Chen Kun shook his head, "You can't guess it."

"Tell me the secret and I'll tell you good news."

"What good news?" Chen Kun asked.

"The investment must be more than 3000 million U.S. dollars in the film, one of the protagonists, what do you say? This news is for your news."

"Let me tell you the news first."

Chen Kun's eyes were full of excitement.

A $3000 million film, with Gu Ming's path, the film will definitely hit Hollywood.

Coupled with Gu Ming's unbeaten record since his debut.

There is a good chance that this film will do well at the box office!
As an actor, he wants to be famous in this way more than anyone else, rather than acting in TV series.

No matter how popular the TV series is, the style is still not enough!
My classmate Zhao Zhetian is quite popular, but if you want to enter the film industry and shoot a movie by Zhou Xingxing, you have to act ugly and have a bald head. If you are filming a TV series, who dares to let her do this? The script will slap you on the forehead. Believe it or not.

She is still going to hang out in the Hong Kong circle.

If I could step directly into Hollywood, I wouldn't be too perfect.

In the future, film remuneration will directly increase by several levels, and endorsement fees will also increase.

The most important thing is status.

The four words "international movie star" represent something very different in China today.

Thinking of this, his breathing became quickened, "What kind of film? What preparations do I need to make?"

"Learn magic, card magic."

"I told you and Xiao Ming on the same day. After half a year, when the results are accepted, whoever practices better will get that role."

"fair and just!"

"Okay!" Chen Kun didn't bargain. "Then I won't take any new movies for the next six months, and I will focus on practicing this. It just so happens that I have a friend who specializes in card magic, so I want him to teach me."

"Yeah, that's fine. By the way, you don't need to learn much magic. You mainly practice the fancy moves and the ones that look good."

"understood."

"So, it's your turn." Gu Ming looked at Chen Kun with a smile.

"Tell me secretly to satisfy my curiosity. Don't worry, it will never come out of my mouth."
