Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 238 For the sake of the overall situation

"Director Gu, I have admired you for a long time, and we will work together in the future."

"Director Gu, I have watched all of your movies. I really didn't expect that a director in his twenties could produce so many excellent works. What a genius!"

"Thank you." Gu Ming shook hands with the other three people modestly.

None of these three are weak hands.

Needless to say, Zhang Yimou.

The rugged-looking Chen Weiya is an old man in this kind of artistic performance. He has been the general director of several artistic activities. He has been immersed in this field for many years and has rich experience. He is also the recipient of the Gwy special allowance.

Zhang Jigang, who choreographed the dance of "Thousand-Hand Guanyin", has a military rank of 2 and 4. If I remember correctly, he will be promoted to Mai Sui 1 in the future.

Oh, compared to Zhang Yimou who is a fellow countryman, he can also be regarded as half a fellow countryman.

He is from Yuci, Hedong Province.

"I am the only one from the south who co-authored it!" Chen Weiya also discovered this and said with a smile, "You are all from the high loess slopes, and I am the only one south of the Yangtze River."

"If you hadn't told me, we would have thought you were from the prairie." Zhang Jigang joked with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, Chen Weiya was also amused, "Wait, when everyone comes together, we will do it in half."

He was right.

In addition to these directors and assistant directors, there are other staff who are masters in various branches.

Soon they started to arrive one after another.

An expert in pyrotechnics, Cai Guoqiang, the designer of the Big Footprint in his previous life, looks rather thin, and this is Hu Jianren.

Chen Qigang is a composer who composed the Olympic theme song "You and Me" in his previous life. He is a native of Shenghai.

Yu Jianpin, who is responsible for technical implementation, may have the best academic performance among the group. He graduated from Harbin Institute of Technology. If Gu Ming remembers correctly, he also served as the deputy chief designer for the subsequent manned spaceflight.

He and Chen Weiya are fellow villagers, but they are from Yangzhou, Jiangbei. With their loose personalities from Jiangsu Province, they may not recognize each other.

As soon as a group of people arrived, Zhang Yimou and Gu Ming started discussing in a low voice, "How about we take a look at our respective plans today and make sure we have a clear idea first?"

"Okay!" Gu Ming nodded.

Then, the work plan for most of today was decided by the two of them.

Everyone took out the planning document from when they were running for chief director, threw it onto the projection one by one, and then analyzed the pros and cons together with themselves and others.

Strive to select the best of everyone's plans and make the opening ceremony satisfactory to everyone.

"The first one should be yours, right?" Zhang Yimou said.

"No, let's see Director Zhang first."

"Look, this is more modest." Cai Guoqiang smiled, "In terms of age, whoever is younger will go first."

"Then it's just me."

Gu Ming simply stopped being humble, so as not to waste today's time on the meaningless question of who comes first.

The author took the planning project he designed and told everyone about his ideas one project at a time.

Then everyone started talking freely.

"It's not good to turn into a panda!" Chen Weiya shook his head, "It's still black and white. It's the opening ceremony that will be held in the evening. Wearing black clothes, you can imagine the effect then."

"Indeed."

"But I think the design of one end and one tail is very good!" Zhang Yimou's eyes were bright, "let primary school students of fifty-six ethnic groups walk to the flag-raising platform to protect the national flag."

"There is also the idea of ​​ten smiling faces of children from each country, and finally the earth is created. It is really amazing!"

Gu Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhang Yimou praising the two plagiarized designs for the opening ceremony in his previous life.

Isn't this your design?

What about me?

Or is it that these two designs are not actually included in your plan, and are they the result of discussions among a group of people before the opening ceremony?

Wait until Zhang Yimou talks about his plan for the second time.

Gu Ming found that these plans were really different from the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in his previous life.

"It seems that in the previous life, most of the projects in Zhang Yimou's plan were overturned and redesigned."

"Doesn't that mean that the opening ceremony in my memory is the finished product after everyone racked their brains countless times and considered various factors and feasibility?"

Gu Ming immediately decided to wait until the discussion and tell all the items of the opening ceremony in his previous life.

As for whether it would be embarrassing to do this in front of the rightful owner.

Gu Ming has long been used to it and has no psychological pressure.

Moreover.

I did this for the sake of the opening ceremony and the overall situation.

The opening ceremony in the previous life was indeed very good, but it was still far from perfect.

Lin Mao and Yang Yin.

It was time to go on stage, but the little hero couldn't be found, so he sent someone to look for him again.

The little girl who played the piano with Lang Lang was about to suffer from heat stroke. She stood stiffly on the court with an expression of "Destroy it, I'm tired."

There are also problems that arise during broadcasting.

Finalizing the draft and rehearsing early can also give the broadcast several more opportunities, and strive to make every aspect as perfect as possible.

Ever since, in the next project discussion, Gu Ming threw out all the projects in his memory one by one.

Everyone is a leader, and they will not choose Gu Ming's plan just because the plan proposed by Gu Ming is good. Instead, they will propose as many plans as possible and discuss them one by one.

But after much discussion, everyone found that Gu Ming's plan was the most appropriate, given that Zhang Yimou insisted that the middle scroll should run through the whole scene, and Gu Ming, the co-director, also agreed.

This is okay for once.

When it came to the second and third times, everyone was shocked.

This is no accident!

This young director is quite capable!

To have achieved such great achievements at such a young age is truly a well-deserved reputation.

……

Two months later.

The plans for the opening and closing ceremonies were finalized without Gu Ming cheating.

Very different from the previous life. The biggest difference is the ignition method of the opening ceremony. The plan proposed by Gu Ming is of course the previous one.

In the end, everyone unanimously decided to use a solution called Phoenix Return to Nest.

Using holographic projection, the phoenix flies onto the torch, the torch lights up, and when the closing ceremony comes, the flames are turned off and the phoenix flies away.

In fact, Gu Ming had also heard of this plan.

I heard that I planned to use this in my previous life, but finally changed my plan. There are two theories.

First, it was secretly photographed by a South Korean reporter and leaked. In the end, the plan had to be changed.

Another way to say it is that the technical level at the time was ineffective.

However, this is just a plan, and whether it can be implemented in the end will be demonstrated.

Gu Ming did not insist on Kuafu's plan to pursue the sun and voted in favor.

……

Exit the control center.

Gu Ming couldn't help but do a chest expansion exercise.

I just feel that my body and bones are indescribably comfortable.

“It’s still midsummer when you come in, and it’s almost autumn when you come out!”

"It's a pity that I'm busy again."

"Yes!" Zhang Yimou smiled and patted Gu Ming's shoulder, "You have to go to Venice and try to get the golden lion back."

"I try my best."

After laughing, Gu Ming handed the bag to the person from Daystar and drove directly to the airport.

The Venice Film Festival has started for two days.

The day after tomorrow, "Shoplifters", which has entered the main competition section, will premiere at the exhibition hall.

It's not a good idea for director Gu Ming not to go to the premiere.

Ever since, Gu Ming had already had people buy every flight to Venice in the past few days in advance.

As soon as I finished the seminar, I took the nearest flight to Venice.

Sitting on the plane.

Thinking about having to buy a ticket every time I fly.

An idea suddenly emerged from Gu Ming's mind uncontrollably.

"Should we buy a private jet?"

“It also saves me having to take a flight every time.”

As soon as this thought occurred, a more powerful thought suppressed it.

"Hey, forget it."

After all, not many rich people buy this now. As a director and working in the cultural industry, it would be too eye-catching.

Moreover, if you buy an airplane yourself, you won’t be able to use a helicopter or anything like that. The one you buy must be able to travel long distances, and that’s a Boeing, and it must be relatively large.

That private jet costs hundreds of millions of dollars, and there are also ones as expensive as three to four hundred million dollars.

I am quite rich, but I am not that rich.

If you insist on buying it, you can afford it, but firstly it will affect the flow of funds, and secondly, the impact on yourself will be too bad.

Once purchased, there will definitely be a lot of media coverage.

No one cares about where you got your money. I will be angry if you are richer than me and suspect that there is something wrong with you.

I'll check you out with a magnifying glass when the time comes.

I can stand up to scrutiny when it comes to finances, but I can't stand up to such scrutiny when it comes to other issues, especially women.

Simply don't buy it.

"Let's buy it after the Olympics."

By then, there will be more rich people and more people buying planes, so if you blend in, you won't be so conspicuous.

After making the decision, Gu Ming closed his eyes and fell asleep.

……

After more than ten hours of flying.

Gu Ming landed at Marco Polo International Airport in Venice.

Because he had already been here once, Gu Ming was very familiar with this place, ah no, he was very familiar with it.

After finding the boat, we sailed to the hotel where the crew of "Shoplifters" stayed.

A lot of people came this time, including the five main actors. Except for Li Mingqi, who was too old and didn't want to run away, everyone else came.

"Hey, dong dong dong, don't study!" After taking pictures for so long, Gu Ming and Wang Jinhua's son walked over and touched his head.

"I asked for leave. Wouldn't it be a pity if I won an award or something and I'm not here?"

"Also, Uncle Gu Ming, I have changed my name. From now on, I will be called Dong Zijian. Please stop calling me Dong Dong Dong."

"Okay, dong dong dong."

"Pfft." Everyone present laughed.

"Everyone, go eat. Don't stand here." After teasing Dong Dongdong, Gu Ming invited everyone to eat together.

The dinner table.

Zhou Xun couldn't help but joke, "Director Gu, do you think we have a chance to win the Golden Lion and Venice Best Actress at the same time?"

"And the Best Actor." Liang Jiahui raised his eyebrows. He knew he had no chance, but it didn't stop him from making a joke.

"It's all difficult." Gu Ming couldn't even joke anymore.

Everything else is fine, Golden Lion!

There is a strong competitor this time!

A film whose title will be used by many people in China to refer to a certain special relationship in the future.
