Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 155
What about Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and other younger generations, and the older generation such as Jack Nicholson and others.

Oh, and there's still a lot of darkness.

They are all gay movie stars.

They couldn't help but support a movie starring their most popular movie star, Will Smith.

The other one is for the Chinese and Chinese-American Hollywood filmmakers invited by Gu Ming.

Looking at the group of familiar faces below, Gu Ming was also filled with emotion.

These people can be called here not only based on their own face, but a large part of them are the face of Sony Columbia, one of the six major companies.

When will Beiduxing be able to develop enough to have enough face to invite all these people to a premiere, and he will be considered successful.

As for how big it is, I dare not think about it, it is unlikely.

If you want to overpower the Big Six in Hollywood, firstly, you don’t have enough time and background. They are almost a hundred years old and have always been giants. How much time do you have?
The second is insufficient identity.

A foreign, yellow film company still wants to be the number one in Hollywood?

Even the tax inspection will make you want to die.

Of course, it’s not entirely impossible, unless you sensibly give up your shares to a local leader, and you only receive less than 5.00% symbolically, not even [-]%, as a worker. If you control this company, other share owners may still allow you to develop normally for the sake of your filmmaking capabilities.

However, Gu Ming feels that even so, the other party is still reluctant to allow you to develop to the number one position. The current number one power is so shameless, right?

Unless you change your citizenship, this is acceptable.

But this is absolutely impossible for Gu Ming to accept.

Hi!
Let's take a step by step.

After recovering his thoughts, Gu Ming stood on the stage and after thanking the guests and fans who came to the scene, he stopped talking nonsense and gave his time to the film.

As the projector started running, a beam of light hit the huge screen.

The first thing is the factory logo of Beidou Star Entertainment. The sky is filled with stars, and the brightest star hangs high in the sky. The little boy looks up and sees shooting stars flying by from time to time, turning into the English name of Beidou Star Entertainment.

Then there is the torch-holding factory logo of Sony, the distributor and the second largest investor in the film.

After the two factory logos were played, the film opened with a soothing and calming piano music.

Ten seconds later, there was the roar of the engine and the scene of overtaking at high speed. It was unknown what the two people sitting in the car, Yi He and Bai, were struggling to pursue.

But the beautiful piano music in the background seems to indicate that they are pursuing something beautiful.

The two were caught speeding, and they acted out a scene together, successfully letting the police car clear the way and taking them to the hospital.

"Interesting beginning, flashback."

In the audience, Director Li Yu, who had a rather big cheek, nodded slightly when he saw this.

"The beginning of the film, which is of a literary nature, is a bit unappealing, so it uses a passionate overtaking scene and attractive comedy."

"I also told everyone their identities by the way."

"Coupled with the difference in skin color between the two, the audience will definitely wonder why the rich man acted in such a scene with the nurse regardless of his image. What happened to make the relationship between the two so harmonious."

"It's time for the main movie to start soon."

With anticipation, Li Yu subconsciously adjusted his sitting posture so that he could watch the movie more comfortably.

As he expected, it was indeed a flashback.

After a paragraph with the words "Adapted from a true story", there is a close-up of the shoes. Behind a row of exquisite waxed leather shoes, there is a pair of sneakers that are a little dirty and a little worn.

The camera moves up the shoes, jeans, the black leather jacket that's not even zipped, and Will Smith's black face.

The same recruiting opening as "Green Book."

then.

When he became a caregiver, he did not treat his employer as a disabled person, but as a normal person, and he did not have the restraints of working part-time.

The employer did not discriminate against the other person because he was a gay person.

The two slowly developed a friendship that transcended skin color, identity, and physical condition!

……

Nearly two hours long video.

It definitely can’t be considered short.

But the audience who was immersed in the film did not feel that the film was long at all.

When the prototype of the film appears at the end of the film.

Everyone even felt a sense of loss.

When can I see such an unforgettable film again?
After feeling disappointed, there was thunderous applause.

classic!

An absolute classic!
"Another classic."

"Compared to "Green Book", it is a classic that is more accepted by audiences around the world!"

"After all, in many places, you can't feel the discrimination against disabled people in the 60s. If you can't feel it, you can't empathize. However, the equality and friendship between disabled people and normal people is not difficult to understand."

After the premiere, Li Eu found Gu Ming and gave his own evaluation of the film.

After finishing speaking, he took out an invitation letter.

"My movie "The Incredible Hulk" will be released next week. It's a coincidence. Come and support me then."

"That's for sure." Gu Ming took the invitation with a smile.

At the same time, be prepared to say a few nice words in return.

But speaking of a box office hit, Gu Ming, who knew the result, was really unwilling to go against his will.

So easy.

"I believe that "The Incredible Hulk" will definitely become a landmark work for Director Li!"

This is absolutely fine.Without the huge success of "The Incredible Hulk", Li Yu would not have realized that he was not made for commercial films. He would definitely still want to become a commercial film director.

After all, Hollywood is all about making money. No matter how many awards you win, it's all about making money. Making money is not as good as commercial blockbusters, and your director's status with the producer will never be as good as that of a commercial film director.

If he were still making commercial films, he wouldn't have made films like "Brokeback Mountain" that he is better at.

Finally, for the first time, he won the first Chinese Oscar for Best Director.

However, Li Yu didn't know that Gu Ming had thought so much. He just thought that Gu Ming was wishing that his "Hulk" would be as popular as "Spider-Man".

He immediately became happy and said, "I hope so, and I also hope that the box office of "Untouchable" can surpass all your previous films!"

……

Li Yu’s words came true.

When Sony Columbia organized screenings of "The Intouchables" in 500 venues across the United States, the box office on the first day reached $[-] million.

The next day it closed at $900 million.

$300 million on Sunday.

$700 million in opening weekend!

The box office hit "Finding Nemo" was released on May 5, two full weeks have passed.

"Fast and Furious 2" also had a full weekend plus two working days, and its box office was not as explosive as "Finding Nemo".

Therefore, "The Intouchables" directly took advantage of the situation and topped the North American weekly box office rankings No. 1!
And because "The Intouchables" has a good reputation, it received pretty good reviews from both audiences and film critics.

After entering the working day, it still maintained a daily box office of more than 600 million US dollars.

On June 6, "The Incredible Hulk", which Universal invested heavily in, was released.

Thanks to the overwhelming publicity, audiences went to the theater to watch it.

After reading it.

A question mark slowly formed in the minds of most of the audience.

"?"

That's it?

We're here to see a superhero movie, you show us this?

Adding things indiscriminately and adding superfluous information turned a good film into something completely different.

It made me feel like I was the Hulk in the movie.

Torn apart, doubting yourself.

Am I sitting in the cinema watching an art film?Are you still watching commercial blockbusters?

If I'm going to watch this, wouldn't it be better to watch "The Intouchables"?

At least I won’t watch it, I feel mentally torn.

No!

I need to watch The Intouchables to wash my mind.

After watching "The Incredible Hulk", a large number of viewers immediately bought tickets and walked into another theater to watch "The Intouchables" again.

This also led to the fact that "The Intouchables" did not fall too much the next week when a blockbuster movie like "The Incredible Hulk" was released, not even exceeding 50.00%.

Only 30.00% five.

The next Wednesday it closed at just over 3000 million.

700 million for two weekends and 500 million for four working days.

The combined total successfully exceeded [-] million!
In ten days, the North American box office exceeded [-] million!
Gu Ming was a little shocked.

I thought it would do well at the box office, but I didn't expect it to do so well in North America!
The previous American version of "The Intouchables" did not have such a large box office!
It seems that a good script must also have good stars!

Will Smith's reputation as the king of history is truly well-deserved, and he can raise the box office by himself.

"Buzz buzz..." The phone rang.

When I picked up, it was Anthony calling.

He didn't say anything when he called me, he just laughed "hahaha".

After laughing for more than ten seconds, he said, "Dear Director Gu, your guess is indeed correct. "The Incredible Hulk" most likely will not pose a threat. His large investment also freed up a good time period for us. "

"This is a summer season with fierce competition every week!"

"The first contributor to the success of this film is you, and the second contributor is definitely "The Incredible Hulk."

"What about your Sony Columbia?" Gu Ming asked with a smile.

"Third, we just did what we were supposed to do." Anthony's laughter reappeared.

"Gu, let me tell you some good news. Our company has decided to increase the publicity fee by 1000 million yuan."

"Strive for "The Intouchables" to hit the North American box office total of [-] million."

"Although competition at the summer box office is fierce, it may not be impossible to achieve. After all, the film has only been released for ten days, and there is still more than a month left, right?"

"Then I hope we can achieve this goal!"

"I hope that day comes soon!"

……

Breaking [-] million in ten days, there is a chance to break [-] million.

This kind of film appears every year in Hollywood, but it is quite rare for a non-sequel, non-blockbuster film like "The Intouchables" to achieve such an achievement.

As director, producer and screenwriter, Gu Ming's status in the hearts of Hollywood's top six has reached a new level.

And because many domestic film and television companies have participated in investing in this film.

When the box office data was sent back to China, it immediately caused a shock in the circle!
