Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 257 Being targeted

Its box office performance was even worse than that of "Kingsman".

18 million on the first day.

Twenty-one million the next Saturday.

Sixteen million on Sunday.

The opening weekend total was $55 million.

This box office data is directly aimed at the North American box office exceeding 200 million.

Gu Ming was also slightly shocked.

It feels even better than the box office performance in the previous life!

Could it be that this is a change brought about by oneself?

Thinking about it, it's normal. In his previous life, Doug Liman created "The Bourne Supremacy", but after all, unlike himself, he walked on two feet in literature, art and business, and commercial films are basically action films.

It has accumulated a considerable number of movie fans.

Coupled with intentional fueling, the Brad Pitt love triangle in this life is even more popular than in the previous life.

The box office has increased, which is reasonable.

……

"Wow, Director Gu, you are so awesome!"

Just after sitting down, Jin Suo's admiration was like the water of the Yellow River, gushing out endlessly as he lay in Gu Ming's arms.

"Tell me clearly what's so great about it."

"They're all great, they're all great." Jin Suo blinked, "Is it possible that the North American box office of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" will exceed US$200 million this time?"

"It's difficult. Let's open it at 50-50." Gu Ming was modest. 55 million in the first weekend. In fact, no matter what, it has to be 70-30, right?

"Doesn't that mean that I have a chance to become the second female lead in a movie with a box office of 200 million US dollars in North America?" Jin Suo couldn't help but fantasize, "I wonder when I will become the first female lead in a movie with such a high box office!"

"That would be very difficult."

Gu Ming knew that Jin Suo was asking himself, so he would not brag about Haikou randomly.

It's always right to be conservative.

If you can't do it, no one will blame you.

If you do it, you will be thanked.

Otherwise, you would agree readily on the bed, and your breasts would be slapped loudly, but you would not be able to do it in the end. Isn’t this simply putting a nail in the relationship between the two of you?

"Very difficult?" Jin Suo's eyes lit up.

When she said that sentence, she actually thought it was a fantasy.

After all, there are only a few movies in North America that can exceed 200 million in box office in a year, and most of them are series sequels and animated films.

But in Gu Ming's opinion, it was actually very difficult.

It's very difficult, which means it's still possible.

Thinking of this, she felt her body temperature rising a little, "Director Gu, can you really make me the heroine of a film that has exceeded 200 million in North America?"

"So impatient?"

"Director Gu, I really want to make progress." Jin Suo looked sincere.

"If it's a vase, you can give it a try." Gu Ming said truthfully, "Don't even think about a movie like Angelina Jolie's, where the male and female protagonists have almost the same roles, and they can both hit the box office."

"Hollywood has only produced Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie. You don't even have Jolie in your name. It's very difficult."

"Who said it? My English name is Julie." Jinsuo pouted unconvincingly. "It just started last year."

"Silk……"

"You are so ambitious." Gu Ming touched the size of her ambition, "But you are not from the United States."

"And look at those two, are there any like you?"

"What I'm saying is that I am a vase and not a vase. As long as Director Gu needs it, I can always turn into the shape that Director Gu wants!" Jinsuo did not continue to ask for the movie, but made a promise and showed his loyalty. .

In my heart, there is only one director, Director Gu.

loyalty! "Don't worry, I have a long-term plan for the three of you." Facing Jin Suo's statement, Gu Ming reciprocated and started a big cake, "You don't look as good as Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing now, but that's only temporary. Yes, who asked you to start a little later than them."

"You'll definitely be able to follow in the end."

"Only by standing on three pillars can Daystar stand more firmly."

"Thank you."

As soon as Gu Ming said Jin Suo, his head drifted to the country, thinking about the domestic draft.

Such a high-grossing female lead!

We must promote the momentum of the female lead in the country.

Let everyone know about my progress.

……

When Gu Ming participated in the promotion.

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" successfully achieved the goal of catching up among latecomers. It earned a total of 60 million in the second week and successfully exceeded 100 million! That's more than fifteen million.

"Kingsman" was not that exaggerated. It took in $35 million at the box office the next week, a 40% drop, which is still healthy.

This data also makes "Kings Agent" in sight of breaking over 100 million US dollars, and it is not impossible to hit US$150 million.

Both films have achieved such good data, which really surprised the whole of Hollywood.

This Chinese film company is coming with a lot of momentum!

Then carefully check the results of Beidou Star Entertainment in the past two years.

The surprise in my heart became even more intense.

Be nice!

Even if it is not as powerful as DreamWorks back then, this achievement is still comparable among second-tier distribution companies.

Check again the share distribution of Beidou Star Entertainment.

Gu Ming is thirty-four percent.

Sony Colombia holds 25 percent of the shares.

The rest belongs to two investment companies.

It is not counted as a sub-distribution company of Sony Columbia and can definitely have a hand in it.

After careful inquiry, I learned that Sony Columbia's shareholding agreement only required half of the film distribution rights of Beidou Star Entertainment. All the six major companies were interested.

Yes, the big six, including Sony.

Already owning half, it also wants to own the other half for foreign distribution.

In one fell swoop, Gu Ming's Beidou Star Entertainment handed over the overseas distribution of all films to them.

Anthony from Sony Columbia was also the first to call Gu Ming.

"Gu, I congratulate you on getting rich!"

"Hey, why are you making a fortune? I just made a little profit." Gu Ming laughed, "The investment in both films is not small, and it is not certain whether they will make money in the end."

"Are you too modest?" Anthony laughed three times on the phone. "This is not like your previous style! And your words are too easy to be exposed. Just from "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", your net income is impossible Less than 100 million! If the final disc sales are good, 200 million is possible."

"I hope so." Gu Ming nodded, "Are you calling to ask for the overseas distribution of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"?"

"This is not in the agreement! It is not a film directed by me."

"Not only this." Anthony was silent for a moment, "We at Sony Colombia also want to give you greater help."

"What kind of help?" He secretly thought that the one who was supposed to come came anyway, and Gu Ming pretended to be stupid.

"I can't tell you at the moment. How about I go find you and give me your address."

"This is my home. You have been here." Now that Gu Ming's publicity work has been completed, Gu Ming and Jin Suo exchanged art in Beverly Hills for a few days.

"Wait for me, see you there or not." Anthony said the last sentence in Chinese.
