Chapter 202: Are You the Devil?

Although, the fraudulent method of "brushing the box office" has been seen a lot by Gu Biao in later generations.

But I have to admit that in the 1980s, even Hollywood listed companies didn't do that. Therefore, Gu Biao's words just now are somewhat war-leading and "living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain".

Of course, the big companies don't do it, not because they have a good conscience. Purely because big data is underdeveloped in this era, stock market analysis institutions have not yet been meticulous to this step.

Therefore, even if the listed film and television company does this, it is flattering and thrown to the blind, and it is wasted, and it will not boost its stock price at all.

But Gu Biao casually said such a big truth, but Princess Kelly and Princess Tiffany were shocked.

On the one hand, Princess Kelly was surprised that Gu Biao, a film and television investor who had just entered the industry, had such vicious eyes and preventive ability.

On the other hand, she also thinks that Gu Biao speaks regardless of the occasion - wouldn't it increase her daughter's suspicion to poke out this possibility now?

Is it going to be a permanent stay in Hollywood and not be able to return to Europe?

Sure enough, after listening to Gu Wei's words, Princess Tiffany pondered for a while, and was surprised to spit on the hypocrisy and despicability of capital.

"Phew, so Hollywood listed companies can be so dirty! It's disgusting, so how can I prove that I'm really good?"

Princess Kelly saw that her daughter finally reacted, and was anxious: "Tiffany, don't think about it, no one has ever done this kind of thing, and your father will never do it to make you happy!"

Tiffany: "Who knows if it's true, maybe you'll do it in order to get me to die and go back to Europe sooner!"

Princess Kelly was desperate and angrily turned to Gu Biao: "Gu! How can you use such sinister intentions to figure out the people of the world? You should know that listed capital will not operate like this at all! The one you said is only theoretical, not practical!"

However, before Gu Biao could answer, Princess Tiffany interrupted her mother: "Gu! I don't believe her, I want you to say, do you have any way to prove what the real box office is, and what kind of thing is likely to be faked." ”

Gu Biao looked at Princess Kelly innocently,

And the princess could only nod at him and motioned for him to save the scene: "Yes, since you can casually come up with a fake poison plan, of course you have to figure out how to verify the innocence of a movie at the box office!"

Gu Biao said casually: "For this situation, generally speaking, it is to randomly arrange some unannounced visits that spread the net." For example, after the movie is released, find various theaters, outlets and time slots, count how many tickets have been sold, and then go to the cinema to see if it is really full of so many people.

If it is found that the proportion of the difference is relatively large after the test sampling, then this part may be fraudulent ticket fraud. Tiffany, if you are not confident, you can ask the princess to send someone to accompany you to the scene to step on the spot, and secretly visit a dozen points, and the sample will be large enough. ”

What Gu Biao said was the truth, because the enemies of those film and television listed companies in later generations were the most stupid way to expose their opponents and swipe tickets.

"I don't want them to accompany me, they will definitely send their own actors to fill the theater in advance and show me the show!" Princess Tiffany was obviously distrustful of her mother by the assumption just now, so she quickly refused, and then rolled her eyes and pulled Gu Biao and said,

"Gu, after the movie is released, you can personally accompany me to see it a few times, our secret visit, the time and place are all decided by me temporarily, and we will never leak it to anyone!"

When Princess Kelly heard this, she was shocked: "Tiffany, are you crazy? You are a princess, how can you act alone when your bodyguards don't know your whereabouts!"

Tiffany: "I just need to prove my performing arts, prove that those old pedants in Paris didn't take your money to curry favor with me, and I'll go back to Europe!

Isn't he an investor, when I was playing with Li, Li said that he was Gu's bodyguard. Li's Chinese-KongFu is powerful, Gu with such a powerful bodyguard, of course my safety is no problem. Besides, I'm just playing in the city of Los Angeles, so what's the danger?"

Princess Kelly looked at Gu Biao resentfully and sighed.

She couldn't understand how she could be taken to the pit by her unruly daughter.

Gu Biao just stood on Princess Kelly's side and knocked Princess Tiffany: "Tiffany, don't talk to your mother like this! Besides, the movie hasn't finished yet." The first thing you have to make sure is that the performance of the last month is as good as the previous one!"

Gu Biao's words were very beautiful, one by one, and he really stood on the parents' side to help discipline the children.

Princess Kelly's anger at the beginning also subsided a little, and she also felt that Gu Biao was young and highly intelligent, so she couldn't rub sand in her eyes, and she didn't vomit unpleasantly when she thought of the despicable possibilities of commercial fraud in her peers.

But at least she wouldn't think that Gu Biao's words were deliberately provoking the trust relationship between mother and daughter, and that was enough.

Rao is an old Jianghu who has participated in foreign affairs mediation activities for 20 years, and 18 years ago dealt with the "Monaco tax shelter blockade crisis" of then French President Charles de Gaulle, but at this moment, she is finally in the way of Gu Biao, and she doesn't know that she was sold.

However, in his heart, Gu Biao was lucky enough to win the friendship of the other party's daughter without offending his mother, not that his real diplomatic strength was stronger than those big bulls - even his mentor Kissinger, when de Gaulle was alive, didn't he get any benefits. Gu Biao has not yet learned all Kissinger's lifelong learning, and his skills are of course more inferior.

But Gu Ao's biggest advantage is the deception brought about by his youth.

Just like in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", no matter how high Chen Jinnan's martial arts are, but because his prestige is also very high, others will be on guard as soon as they see him, and it is difficult to win quickly. And if Wei Xiaobao has Chen Jinnan's martial arts of two or three percent, he can pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger to quickly kill the opponent, but the opponent is unsuspecting.

Princess Kelly hadn't investigated Gu Ao's background, how could she have thought that an 18-year-old young man would be so scheming.

……

The first step of trust and friendship can be by tricks,

But the second step must rely on time accumulation.

Gu Biao has read diplomacy for so many years, and this skill has long been summed up.

So he didn't negotiate more with Princess Kelly that day, but politely said goodbye.

Anyway, he is an investor in this film, and he can supervise the whole process, and there are still many opportunities to get in touch, so what's the hurry.

Starting the next day, Gu Biao followed Cameron to the set to inspect the filming work of the crew.

Because Gu Biao's second money is in place, many props have spent a lot of special effects shots, and they can finally start shooting.

The filming cycle of this movie, if you remove post-production, is actually only one month left. When it comes to the finished product, it's only about 20 minutes.

So now the rest of the main plots are the Terminator played by Arnold, the scene where Li Lianjie was half-blown up in the tanker truck, and after the skin and flesh were burned, only the T800 metal skeleton was left to continue the pursuit.

The reason why this section was stopped and couldn't be filmed was because Cameron spent money quickly, so he didn't have the money to build robots and rent equipment in automated factories.

Because the skin and flesh of the terminator were burned in these scenes, Arnold, the male protagonist, was idle, as long as he watched his robot stand-in hunt down Li Lianjie and Tiffany under the operation of the remote controller.

And Gu Biao, the producer, only showed interest in martial arts action and human-robot combat design throughout the whole process. I often discuss with Arnold and Yuan Gui.

Of course, Gu Biao's martial arts skills are zero, but after all, he has watched so many blockbusters in his later life, and his description of cool effects is still very relaxed, and he has a lot of high-level insights.

The only problem is that many of the ideas he said can't be realized with today's technology - for example, Gu Biao even asked if he could add "bullet time" when he talked to Director Yuan about blocking robots.

The result, of course, was that after a total of calculations with the director and the cameraman, it was determined that this thing could not be done technically, and now at best, it can only rely on the simultaneous shooting technology of the ring column to achieve "time standstill", but it is absolutely impossible to control the precise "bullet time".

(Note: Bullet time is shot in circles and is controlled by software to take turns to expose and let time pass little by little.) If there is only a ring shot without automatic software control to take turns to expose, only one frame from all angles will be taken, that is, it will be completely stationary, and even the bullet will not move)

Although "bullet time" could not be realized, many of Gu Biao's other ideas still made Cameron feel novel, and in the end, one or two were always adopted, which raised the expressiveness of martial arts to a higher level.

"Gu, you are so talented. If you are not a wealthy businessman, even if you come to be a special effects director, you will definitely have a future. Cameron, who was born as a special effects supervisor, was sincerely emotional.

During the filming, Princess Tiffany also saw Gu Ao's real focus and knew that he really had goods in his stomach.

Princess Kelly, who even visited the class, was suspicious at first, wanting to see if Gu Biao wanted to capture her daughter and change her way to curry favor.

In the end, I have to admit that people are really dedicated to art and have no distractions - Princess Kelly herself is an Oscar-winning actress, so she knows whether the designers in the circle really have the goods, and she can see it at a glance.

The best way to deceive this kind of person is not to act, really want to make a good film, and really seem to be artistic, engrossed, and have dry goods in his stomach.

It seems that this kid is just too cynical about some of the current situation in the film and television industry, so he just met that day and said that. Don't hesitate to speculate on the publisher with the greatest malice. Alas, who didn't hate publishers when they were young, they were all vampires who sat on the ground and shared the spoils. ”

Princess Kelly actually had some resonance, after all, the producer always felt that the distributor was eating dry food, which was the normal feeling of people in the industry. Princess Kelly thought of the difficulties of her youth, so she took Gu Biao's position.

It's the end of the day again. When Princess Kelly came to visit, she would already bring afternoon tea for everyone except Princess Tiffany.

Tiffany also feels that Gu Biao, an investor like Gu Biao, is very thoughtful and cynical, and unconsciously humble, and often asks him for some insights when she finishes work.

"Gu, tomorrow you will tell me the story of 'humidity reverb tuning' in detail, there are really top recording engineers in Hollywood, can they sense the humidity compensation of a studio by smelling? ”

"I'm here to produce a movie, not to tell a story, and tomorrow I'm not available, so I'm going to go to Silicon Valley and talk to a subordinate about another business, and I'm going back to Watsington next week. Gu Biao refused without the slightest psychological burden.

Anyway, white women don't have any concept of chastity, and it's nothing to cheat their feelings, and people don't care.
