Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

[Although this man is a bit ugly, he is very charming when photographed. I actually fell in love with him. I hope to see him star in more 007 movies! 】

[Together the Gu and 007 movies are definitely a successful move by Sony, which has made it a classic. I even feel that this 007 is the best 007 movie, bar none! 】

As expected, the reputation is good, at least much better than expected.

Even Daniel Craig, who was criticized the most for being ugly before its release, was considered unique and completely different from the previous 007s.

Proving the old saying, it doesn't matter if a man is old or ugly, what matters is that he is talented, not to mention that he is so talented.

The box office that day came out and reached 10 million US dollars.

This is not during the weekend, but during the week.

As soon as this box office came out, coupled with the reviews of the film, the crew, creative staff and people at Sony Columbia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that no matter how bad the box office is, it won't be much worse.

This also proves that Sony Columbia was successful in producing its own 007. The only difference is how successful it is.

Next, in just four days, Casino Royale grossed US$30 million at the box office, and a full US$32 million in the first three days of the weekend.

Seven days a week, more than $60 million.

It successfully topped the box office charts this week.

However, with a weekend box office of 32 million, it was unable to get the first place on the weekend box office list.

The first place is undoubtedly Beidou Star Entertainment's "Night at the Museum".

This family-friendly movie took advantage of the Christmas season and took in $43 million in three days.

That's not the most surprising thing.

Shortly after Christmas comes New Year's Day.

"Night at the Museum" had a combined three-day box office of $48 million the following weekend.

Instead of decreasing, it increases.

Plus working days.

In less than ten days, "Night at the Museum" successfully exceeded 100 million!

This number attracted many Hollywood professional film professionals to watch it.

After reading it, everyone realized one thing.

200 million is not the end point for this film, 250 million is also possible.

The key thing is that such a plot can be filmed into a series, and then it will hit the box office next Christmas.

Be nice!

Looking at Gu Ming's name on the producer's list, everyone felt like they had met a monster.

None of the films produced have failed, which is actually understandable. There have been previous producers who have been successful for twenty years.

But the situation is different!

The previous producer, that is, a professional producer, Gu Ming obviously made a name for himself, or made a script, which director to use, which actors to use, and then gave up.

Otherwise, he would be the producer of all the films produced by Beidou Star Entertainment, and he would still have to be the director to make films, and no one else would be able to keep busy!

Thinking of Gu Ming's astonishing vision, everyone felt their scalps go numb.

Is there going to be a new Big Six company? Or the Big Six, where Chinese bosses are the bosses?

This is not possible!

Wouldn't that be a mess?

Just click on a DreamWorks, but a new DreamWorks cannot appear.

Not even if nearly 30% of the company's shares belong to Sony, Columbia and Warner.

It is not a wholly-owned subsidiary.

But upon closer inspection, it turns out that Beidou Star Entertainment has no intention of expanding its operations, and its annual box office revenue remains at 500 million to 600 million. Even this year, even if the North American box office of "Night at the Museum" is 250 million, it is still just over 500 million, not 600 million.

Its overseas box office is divided between Warner and Sony, and it has no intention of establishing overseas distribution channels.

If you look at it this way.

Everyone felt relieved again.

As long as you don't worry about overseas distribution and the total box office is not too dazzling, everyone will still pay attention to the appearance to avoid ruining the reputation.

……

At this time, Gu Ming was too lazy to care about this.

I got a call and learned about the box office trends of the two movies. I learned that "Casino Royale" had successfully exceeded 007 million and had a chance to hit million, and "Night at the Museum" had also exceeded million. I said oh, and then I invested in it. In post-production for "Parasite".

of course.

Post-production wasn’t quite as hands-on this time around.

Most of the time, I tell everyone how to do it in the morning and see the effect at night.

But Gu Ming was still extremely busy.

During that period, I was working with people from the Olympic directing team to implement various projects.

It seems that there are still more than half a year before we have to show the results to the world. In addition, it is almost the end of the year. This is just like the winter vacation homework when school is approaching. Everyone has to be busy!

He was so busy that it was almost the Chinese New Year before Gu Ming had the time to visit the Venus stall.

Back to the Morning Star seat.

On the first day of personally taking charge, everyone got the news, and on this day, someone also found Gu Ming.

It was Guo Fan, the second commercial film director discovered by Daystar.

He also held a stack of scripts in his hand.

Smiled slightly shyly.

"I've written the script for my new film. Director Gu, are you free to help me revise it?"

"No problem!" Gu Ming always had a good attitude towards people who helped him make money. He accepted it with a smile, "What kind of movie are you going to make? A science fiction blockbuster?"

"Hey, Director Gu, please stop teasing me." Guo Fan smiled, "I have only made one youth film in my career, and I will immediately go to make some science fiction blockbuster. Is that what I can do? ?”

"Maybe I've wasted a lot of the company's money."

"You still don't have confidence in yourself!" Gu Ming smiled. Who said that after making a youth romance movie, you can't make a science fiction blockbuster?

A positive example is the person in front of me.

Negative examples include Teng Huadu and "Shenghai Fortress".

"I'm really not confident." Guo Fan nodded, "No one in our country has ever filmed this! I can't even find someone to study with. By the way, Director Gu, when are you going to make a science fiction blockbuster?"

"When the time comes, I will be your assistant director and learn how to make science fiction blockbusters. Speaking of which, I have a short science fiction novel that I really like to read. If it can be made into a science fiction film, it will be very shocking."

"What novel?"

""The Wandering Earth"."

"Oh, it's the work written by the writer who worked as an electrician in the Niangziguan Power Plant in Hedong. The rights to adapt each of his works for film and television, including games, belong to our Venus. If you want to make them, I'll keep them for you."

"That's really great." Thinking that one day in the future he can also shoot a science fiction blockbuster like Hollywood, and it is also his favorite novel, Guo Fan's face lights up with joy, "I will definitely do it by then. Shoot this part well and live up to your expectations, Mr. Gu."

"But I still want to be your assistant director first."

"We'll talk about the future later. Let's read your script first." (End of Chapter)
