I want to make headlines

Chapter 123 Prelude
Director Lesser's attitude is different from the last time we met. This is one of the effects of Gan Jing's rescue of the plane.

"Director, how is the crew doing?"

This time when he came to America, Gan Jing's original purpose was to prepare the film crew together with him. Although there were extraordinary incidents in the middle, this was still a major purpose.

Today's meeting was at Director Lesser's home. The space is not big, but the layout is very organized.

The three of them were sitting on the sofa, and Director Lesser was inevitably as curious as the others.

"Forrest Gump, how did you fly a plane? How did you know how to fly a plane? Have you been trained in your country?" The old man leaned forward, curious.

Gan Jing smiled, feeling a little troubled in his heart, this question will definitely be asked for a long time.

He still didn't answer directly, but said with a smile: "This is God's guidance."

Director Lesser made a sign of the cross on his chest: "God bless, Amen."

Fat George at the side had a half-smile, he had more contact with Gan Jing, so he didn't believe this statement at all, and he also knew that Gan Jing didn't seem to have any beliefs.

In his impression, the people in Huaxia seem to be similar.

"How's the crew doing? When will it be ready?" Gan Jing asked.

Director Lesser glanced at him, his attitude became serious, and he said: "As long as the funds are in place, the crew can be completed. If there are funds tomorrow, the filming can start within a week."

Gan Jing wanted to ask about the producer, but then he thought that the director had been nominated for an Oscar, and he had been well connected for so many years, so he just nodded.

"There is mainly one thing that needs to be discussed." Director Lacey said, "Because Forrest Gump is wholly owned by you, we need to determine the issue of distribution in advance."

"I would like to hear more about it." Gan Jing glanced at Fat George, who was becoming more and more proficient at translating, and silently waited for the next sentence.

"If we invest independently, it's not easy for us to talk about the theaters with the film, not to mention that the box office of this film is aimed at the Neon Country, the American theaters, and the Neon Country theaters. These things the crew cannot afford."

"What is the director's suggestion?" Gan Jing asked.

"We need to find a company to distribute, but their share will be higher. Now it's how to choose. I know you are connected with Legendary Pictures, and I also have friends in smaller companies. Compared with Legendary, the share is higher than that of small companies. It will be higher, but the effect will be much better." Director Lacey kept silent after saying this to give Gan Jing time to think.

Choose a distribution company...

Gan Jing pondered in his heart for a moment, and asked, "We can't publish it ourselves, right?"

Director Lesser nodded.

"That……"

Both Fat George and Lesser had their eyes on him.

"Then I'll think about it."

Gan Jing gasped for breath as he spoke, and Laiser nearly choked to death with a sip of hot coffee in his throat.

Seeing the old man's annoyed eyes, Gan Jing smiled and said, "Anyway, it's not too late, right. We can see if anything interesting happens."

"Hmm." Director Lacey could probably guess what Gan Jing was thinking. He probably wanted to use the rescue incident to see if there was any fermenting effect.

The facts were just as Lace thought, but none including Gan Jing expected that another company that had never been contacted by the other party would find Gan Jing.

……

"Hello, Forrest Gump. I'm Andy, Vice President of Warner Bros. Business Division."

Gan Jing shook hands with this gentle middle-aged white man, and both sat down, wondering, Warner Bros.?I have never dealt with him before, why did he come here?

Could it be that he heard that he was planning to make a movie and wanted to invest in it?
Because he had just finished talking with Director Lesser earlier, he could not help thinking in this direction, but when Andy shared his thoughts on this trip, he was immediately surprised.

"What? You want to sign a contract with me?" Gan Jing pointed to himself.

Andy raised his gold-rimmed glasses seriously, and nodded deeply.

Uh, Gan Jing was a little confused, looked at Fat George who was also confused next to him, and couldn't make up his mind.

According to what Andy said, they intend to make themselves an artist from the East, and rely on the platform resources of Warner Bros. to promote it to the United States in all aspects.

But Gan Jing himself understood that this was probably to use his rescue incident to gain a sense of presence while it was hot.

After all, for a person who has never appeared in the United States, it is a bit whimsical to say that he wants to become a big star?
Gan Jing just wanted to speak, but then he thought about it, it is a whimsical thing to make an emergency landing in a plane, and it seems that Warner's whimsy is not too much.

"Then what plan do you have for me?" Gan Jing had many thoughts in his mind, but asked calmly.

Andy smiled, a little appreciative of Gan Jing's calmness. He had seen many young Americans, and they were all very excited when they heard that Warner Bros. wanted to sign a contract.

It is really rare to be as calm as Gan Jing, but is it because of this calmness that he saved the airliner?
Andy was distracted for a while, then continued to smile and said: "We have made a comprehensive assessment of you, and we think you have great potential." - We saw that you can fly a plane, and quickly realized that this person has great potential. packing space.

"If you are an ordinary person, you can make a lot of money simply by relying on the experience of speaking." Andy continued, "But for an actor, if he can rely on real events to adapt and directly let him play the leading role, it is very important for The box office boost is perfect. You can be a hero, a celebrity, a blockbuster star, a living legend."

"Is it just a movie project?" Gan Jing asked.

"In the early stage, we will invest resources in publicity, first to help you become a celebrity in the United States. As for the follow-up." Andy was very calm, "It depends on the response and reward of this movie."

Gan Jing was silent, this was beyond his expectation, but it seemed like an opportunity.

The hot drink on the table cooled down slowly, Gan Jing thought for a long time, Andy showed patience, and Fat George acted as the crowd.

When the onlookers couldn't help but want to urge Gan Jing, he finally spoke.

"I don't like being restrained very much, and I also have things to do in Huaxia." Gan Jing looked into Andy's eyes and said.

Andy tapped his finger on the table, nodded and said: "Our contract can last until the end of the first movie. Before that, your center of gravity is properly tilted, which can be communicated. If the effect is not good, the box office of the movie will not be good. , and we will decide in the future depending on the situation.”

"So……"

Just as Gan Jing was about to let go, he suddenly saw the phone on the table vibrate.

He was stunned for a moment, and found that the contact person of Legendary Pictures was displayed on it, so he took it to connect, guessing in his heart that they were for tomorrow's press conference.
