Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 48
What Feng Pants didn’t know was.

Gu Ming returned to the capital and accepted the interview.

That night, I called Chen Kun, Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming, and Yan Danchen, who had all finished filming the TV series, to go to the cinema to contribute some box office to his "Endless".

Coming out of the cinema, the person who was discussed the most was Ge You.

"The scene where Ge You has hair looks really uncomfortable."

"Yeah! It looks weird."

"I don't know why, it's just awkward, but my bald head is pleasing to the eye."

"Huh? I'll go!"

When passing by a newsstand, Huang Xiaoming glanced at it casually.

I was immediately attracted by the headline in the newspaper.

I gave the newsstand owner money, took the newspaper and stared at the title.

"Gong Li is going to be the chairman of the jury of the Berlin Film Festival in 2000?"

"seriously?"

Huang Xiaoming looked at the name of the newspaper. It was not a third-rate tabloid with no reputation. The words were printed well and it was not a pirated copy.

"I'm going, it's true!"

"Is this the first Chinese chairman of the jury of the three major European universities?" Chen Kun's tone was full of emotion.

"That's probably it. I haven't heard of anyone else besides her."

"Awesome! How did she do it?"

"Nonsense." Gu Ming sighed speechlessly, "If you count carefully, you will find that the film in which Gong Li plays the heroine has won all the Golden Bears, Golden Lions, and Palms. The only winner of the Jury Prize is one from the Berlin Film Festival."

"Plus the Venice Best Actress."

"Isn't this resume enough?"

“I don’t know if I don’t count them, but I’ll be shocked if I count them!” Chen Kun and Huang Xiaoming all praised.

Zhou Xun, on the other hand, started to make calculations with his eyes shining.

The movie he starred in won the Berlin Jury Prize once and the Palme d'Or at Cannes. The gap is a bit big!
However, she is nine years younger than her, and there is a young and talented director named Gu Ming.

There is a chance.

Someday.

I can replace it!
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Chen Kun patted Zhou Xun on the shoulder, interrupting Zhou Xun's ambition, "Are you thinking about whether you can win the Best Actress Award at the Berlin Film Festival this time?"

"No, I just feel that the topic you are discussing is a bit biased?"

Zhou Xun showed off his acting skills and blinked his clear eyes.

"Gong Li will be the chairman of the jury."

"Then our "Fireworks in the Day" didn't make a lot of money?"

"Even if she can't be too biased, there's nothing wrong with being biased under similar circumstances, right?"

“Maybe we can even get a golden bear!”

Zhou Xun looked at Gu Ming.

Of course, Gu Ming had to restrain himself from popping champagne at halftime.

You can’t learn edamame just because you’re famous!

He waved his hands hurriedly.

In a matter of minutes, I found two reasons that seemed extremely powerful.

"First, I just won the Palme d'Or. Will they let you win the top three in Europe for two consecutive years? The top three in Europe are shameless?"

"Second, there are also Zhang Yimou's "My Father and Mother" competing this time, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li..."

There is no need to say the rest.

Although the two parted ways, they still had a relationship for so many years.

Is that a joke?

Gu Ming said this.

The other three people also felt that the possibility was unlikely.

They made a tacit agreement not to discuss this topic again.

……

the next day.

After accepting several interviews about his thoughts after winning the Golden Horse Award for Best Feature Film.

Gu Ming focused his main attention on "New Shanghai Beach" and "Golden Fen Family" produced by the company.

New Shanghai Beach is easy to talk about.

Just do the post-production step by step.

You can also use the old version of "Langbeng, Langliang..." as the theme song.

But "Jinfenshijia", without "Secret Fragrance", Jinfenshijia has no soul.

But this is embarrassing.

I know who the director of "The Family" is.

I can also recall that it was composed by Sanbao and sung by Sha Baoliang.

But who wrote the lyrics?I had no choice but to play in person.

After racking his brains to write the lyrics of "Secret Fragrance", and giving Sanbao a few climax melody, he made "Secret Fragrance".

It's very different from the previous life.

After Sha Baoliang sang it, the theme song of "Golden Pink Family" was decided.

As for the rest, it is all left to the director to continue working.

Unexpectedly, just after finishing the TV series, something happened that drew Gu Ming's attention back to the movie.

"Mr. Gu!"

"good news!"

Li Xiaoping came to Gu Ming's office with a smile and reported on her work.

"There is news from Neon. "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" has been released in Neon for five months, and the box office has now reached 400 million yen. Calculated according to the current high yen exchange rate, it is nearly 3000 million US dollars. , more than [-] million soft girl coins."

"And now it's running a long run in Neon's arthouse circuit."

“The attendance was good.”

"Are we?"

"Yeah." Of course Gu Ming knew what Li Xiaoping wanted to do and nodded.

"Publish this matter first."

“Then we can start selling.”

"By the way, let's sell the audio-visual broadcasting rights and TV broadcasting rights first."

"Why don't you show it in theaters first?" Li Xiaoping was puzzled. "Selling such a high box office in Neon will probably boost the domestic box office. If nothing else, some art theaters will definitely be willing to play it."

"He is willing to play it, but I am not willing to give it to him. He listens to me and does not want to go to theaters."

"After selling these copyrights, I will take it to the Berlin Film Festival to see how much it can sell for. Mosquito meat is still meat no matter how small it is."

As for the theater line.

how to say.

Some movies are simply not suitable for cinemas in this era.

Such expensive movie tickets.

With wages in this era.

Going to the cinema is considered a luxury. You asked me to go see this.

Who is watching?

It would be nice if you don’t yell “Hey, I’ll give you my money back” after watching it.

In the previous life, Neon's box office was booming. Didn't "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" not hit theaters again?
But the box office is still a little bit low, and it can’t be raised at all.

Even the money for copies may not be recovered.

That being the case.

It’s better not to show up at all and maintain your style!

Rely on Neon's box office to sell other copyrights at higher prices.

In more than ten to twenty years, many people may regret that this movie can have a good box office even in theaters.

As long as the underwear is not exposed, the evaluation of this film will be higher than the previous one!

It will also be a benefit then!

"But……"

Li Xiaoping also wanted to persuade him.

But I thought of Gu Ming's two consecutive accurate judgments on this film.

She was speechless.

The words that came out were "no problem".

Authority is established by making the right choice time and time again.

Soon, Daystar promoted "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" at the Neon box office through familiar media.

Sure enough, an arthouse theater has found Morning Star.

I hope "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" will be released.

Rejected by Daystar.

This move did increase copyright fees a bit.

150 million sold the TV rights to a movie channel.

50 was sold for other items such as DVD copyrights and so on.

There is no other way. We don’t pay much attention to copyright now, so the price we can sell it for is not low.

If it hadn't been for Neon's box office success, it would have been nice to sell for half of this price.

As for whether it can be sold for more money.

Then you have to wait to try the waters at the Berlin International Film Festival.

Relying on his own name, he should be able to attract some film producers to some extent.
