Chapter 110 The Director's Calculation

In a movie about a man and a dog?
Gan Jing never had such a thought, and the white old man next to him seemed to be just asking casually.

But Gan Jing didn't expect this old man to be a director, so he had to be polite.

"George, what movies has this director made?" Gan Jing asked in Chinese, still smiling.

"Uh, I don't know. After all, I'm just a member of the crew, not an actor like you." Fat George looked at Gan Jing's contemptuous expression and explained, "I only knew that he was the director when I saw someone call him the director just now." of."

Well, I thought the fat man was a know-it-all.

Gan Jing rubbed his nose and called out to the Shiba Inu who was squatting in front: "I'm a bit thirsty, go and get me a bottle of water." Not far away, free mineral water was being distributed.

The two foreigners looked at the yellow-skinned guy talking to the dog, and they both found it funny, thinking it was a young man's bad taste, but they didn't expect the Shiba Inu to walk in the direction of the mineral water after listening.

Soon, Shiba Inu came back with a bottle of water in his mouth and put it in front of Gan Jing.

The mineral water bottle was unsteady, and fell down in front of the steps with a grunt.

The old white man was taken aback, and asked the translator George, "What did this young man just say?"

Fat George replied blankly, "He asked the dog to fetch him a bottle of water."

The old white man looked at his Shiba Inu in disbelief, he is the owner of this dog!He raised it from childhood to adulthood!He has never enjoyed such treatment!

"Is that what he said?" The old white man muttered to himself. The Shiba Inu is not like those big dogs. It is normal to hold a ball or something on weekdays, but he has never seen it serve the master like this, holding a mineral water bottle.

Haven't you raised yourself right all along?
The old white man's concept of keeping a dog has been impacted.

At this time, Fat George asked Gan Jing, "How did you do it? Why is this dog so obedient?" Seeing that the old man was also looking at him, he translated his question in English.

Facing the eyes of the two, Gan Jing unscrewed the mineral water bottle easily, and said with a smile: "Hey, it's fate. I was born to be liked by animals, so don't think about it."

The old white man looked at his Shiba Inu lying beside Gan Jing, and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he stretched out his right hand to shake Gan Jing, and said seriously, "I am Lasse Hallstrom, and I know you are Forrest Gump." He came to this premiere, and Legendary Films The people who have introduced some key personnel, are naturally impressed by an Eastern investor.

Simultaneous translation starts, and Fat George takes his place automatically.

"Director Lesser, hello, hello."

"I just mentioned a script "The Story of Hachiko the Faithful Dog". I think you are really suitable for it. It is adapted from the story of the Neon Kingdom. Are you interested?"

Gan Jing scratched his head, but he didn't expect the old man to be serious.

After thinking about it, he said, "Then I have to read the script? What role should I play? How much should I invest?"

The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe it's the leading role. I'll give you the script tomorrow. Investment...still looking."

Hey, I said, why are you directors looking for investment by yourself?It's too miserable to be in the industry, right?

Gan Jing wanted to retreat, he was not satisfied with this unprovoked invitation, he just nodded and said: "Then let me read the script first."

Old man Lacey nodded heavily.

The two made an appointment to deliver the script to Hilton Gan Jing's residence tomorrow.

After Lacey left, Gan Jing shrugged at Fat George: "Is it because you don't have excellent oriental actors here? Otherwise, why would I just come across a script? Is it really a charisma?"

Fat George saw that Gan Jing was in a good mood, and said with a smile, "This is a magical power from the East."

"hey-hey."

……

The premiere ceremony of "The Hangover" ended smoothly, and Gan Jing didn't show up much to show his presence, but when the investor appeared on the screen, his name still appeared.

Chinese-Gump, which is Gan Jing's on-screen codename, appears alongside Legendary Pictures.

There is a very classic work in the United States called "Forrest Gump", and Gan Jing's surname appeared on the screen because of this translation.

Interested people noticed this investor whom they had never seen before, especially the Chinese in front of them, and had a lot of thoughts in their hearts, and began to quietly inquire about the origin of this person.

The premiere ceremony of the film did not reduce praise because of Gan Jing's weak presence, it showed a different laughing fruit.

From the current point of view, Legendary Pictures is very optimistic about the box office this time.

Gan Jing was in a normal mood when he heard the news from the crew members.

However, the next day, when he saw the white old director Lacey, he felt a little strange.

When returning to the hotel at night, Gan Jing looked up this guy and found out that he was nominated for an Oscar for best director!

Although he was not elected, it is already very impressive to be nominated.

"Forrest Gump, this is the script, I hope you can take a good look at it." Laiser came to present the script in person.

This time Gan Jing's attitude is much more polite. The person in front of him is an old senior. In the Chinese martial arts novels, Lacey might be the kind of elder-level figure of the Huashan School and Songshan School—well, if he can win an Oscar, he will be promoted. For the head.

"Okay, director." Gan Jing took over the script and planned to study it carefully.

"By the way, it's all in English. I haven't considered Chinese actors before, so you should ask a professional to translate it." Laiser thought of this question.

Gan Jing looked at George and saw him shaking his head to indicate that he was not qualified for the job.

"Then I'll look for it." Gan Jing agreed, thought for a while and asked, "How much is the estimated investment for this film? Who else will compete for the male lead? Is it convenient to disclose these?"

Lesser said: "I have a candidate for the protagonist before, but I haven't communicated with him yet. Investment..."

Mentioning this, the old white man suddenly smiled. This smile was inexplicably lewd, completely different from the director he had shown before.

"Forrest Gump, do you have money?"

Gan Jing lost his voice.

This question is so straightforward...

The problem is, what the hell, if I don't have money, will you stop filming?

At this moment, Gan Jing lost awe of the old man Lesser, who had won the Oscar for Best Director, and said angrily, "No money!"

Lacey said with an exaggerated expression: "How is it possible? Forrest Gump from the East, think about it, you invest money and shoot whatever you want, how great it is."

Is this a responsible director?
Gan Jing's suspicious eyes hit the old white man's face, but he didn't even enter the fat tissue.

"I really have no money." Gan Jing spread his hands. To be honest, part of his previous money was used to start a security company, part to invest in "The Hangover", and some to buy a house in the capital. He really has no money.

Lacey's eyes twinkled, and he was very energetic: "The Hangover is released, isn't it useless for you to share the money after that?"

Gan Jing touched his temple, this old man came prepared!
