I want to make headlines

Chapter 275 Conditions
"Forrest Gump, long time no see. Your boy makes headlines every once in a while, 22 billion actor."

"Everywhere, it's all love, it's all love, it's Mr. Ge who is old and strong, and still has a charm. This month, he will be carrying two blockbuster movies!"

An old film star with old drama bones, and a new young student Xin Palm, Gan Jing and Ge You made an appointment to sit in a teahouse in the capital—as middle-aged and elderly people, there is nothing wrong with choosing the location of the teahouse.

In December, the film and television industry was relatively lively, Ge You's next home, the box office of the scheduled releases, Gan Jing's frequent guest appearances, the list and censorship of the Spring Festival Gala...

Amidst the turbulent news, Gan Jing saw that Ge You had confirmed to sign with Hong Kong Emperor the day before he returned to the capital from the film crew. Afterwards, Huayi's stock price fell accordingly, falling 5% in 11.4 trading days. The loss is not small.

Gan Jing never expected that the old man would ask him out when he was busy with his own future, and at the same time he was a little curious about why this man switched to the Emperor.

"Teacher Ge, come, come, I'll come." Seeing Ge You getting up to pour tea for himself, Gan Jing stood up and stopped him. This is a senior, a teacher, how could he be so arrogant.

Ge You was smiling, and his attitude was very easy-going. He met Gan Jing before in "If You Are the One 2".

"A-Gump, have you watched the news?" Ge You took the teacup, took a sip, and asked.

"Ah, I saw that Mr. Ge has signed a contract with the Emperor." Although the other party didn't say what news it was, Gan Jing thought it should be about his own signing.

Ge Youyou nodded, and after waiting for a while, seeing that Gan Jing hadn't moved at all, just drinking tea in silence, he couldn't help but a little depressed and said, "Aren't you curious?"

Gan Jing only arrived in the capital last night. He suffered from insomnia the first night he left the film crew. He was a little tired from being invited today. He took a sip of scented tea, shook his head and said, "Why are you curious?"

"I'm not curious why I left Huayi and why I joined Emperor?"

"Not curious." Gan Jing replied honestly.

Ge You squeezed the handle of the cup, thinking to himself, he deserves to be a Cannes Best Actor just like me, and he is really different from those coquettish sluts outside.

These days, whether it is friends, relatives, media, or colleagues, Ge You has been questioned many times about his whereabouts.

At first sight of such an ordinary guy like Gan Jing, he was not used to it.

"By the way, why?" Gan Jing drank a few sips of tea, and suddenly realized that he seemed impolite, so he asked the question politely.

Seeing his lack of curiosity at all, Ge You smiled wryly in his heart, and suddenly felt that this trip would not go well.

"I have worked with Xiaogang for many years, and these days I hear a lot of questions about whether there is a conflict between me and him." Ge You said with a sinking heart, "Actually, there is no problem. If there is a problem, it is only about The issue of breakthroughs in acting. In recent years, I feel that my breakthroughs have been very small."

Gan Jing nodded, but he felt a little more genuine curiosity in his heart: "Then can the Emperor give you a breakthrough?"

Ge You stretched out his right hand, stretched out five fingers in the air, and said: "Invest [-] million yuan to make three films within five years, and you can be the director or producer." He continued, "This is the Emperor's contract."

Three films in five years, the time is actually quite ample, and the investment amount is also in line with Ge You's status as a celebrity.

"Are there any other constraints? That's pretty good." Gan Jing didn't study the contracts in the circle carefully, but once he heard the conditions, he knew that they were quite preferential treatment.

Ge You smiled: "Is it very good? Are you coming?"

Suddenly the words "Are you coming?" Gan Jing almost choked his lungs with a sip of tea. He slowed down and asked in surprise, "What? Where are you going?"

"Come to the Emperor." Ge You said leisurely, "Otherwise, why would I ask you out today? It's the same contract as mine, you can discuss the details later, but generally the terms are good, right?"

"The same contract?" Gan Jing repeated, raising his eyebrows, really surprised.

Emperor has no staff to contact him tentatively, and now he directly invites Ge You, who has just signed a contract, as a lobbyist, and the conditions given are the same...

Ge You's status in the circle is relatively detached!
This condition is not without sincerity!

Gan Jing tapped the table with the index finger of his right hand, and asked, "What are they looking for in me? They even invited you over to talk, I thought there was at most a script appointment today."

This is his truth. Originally, he came out of the film crew to audition for Ang Lee's new script. He never thought that the emperor would take his idea on himself.

"What? Isn't it good?" Ge You smiled very Ge You, and his tone was also slow and leisurely.

Gan Jing didn't speak, but lowered his head slightly, as if thinking about it.

"You are now in Zhou Xun's studio, and your connections may be a little narrower."

"Your achievements in Hollywood are very good. Emperor is owned by Hong Kong, and has certain channels and ideas for foreign markets, so it fits well."

"Three plays, [-] million investment, and you can be the director yourself. This is a good direction and breakthrough for your future."

While drinking tea, Ge You slowly listed one, two, three, four, each item was considered from Gan Jing's point of view.

The tea room was quiet for a while, only the curling heat of the tea.

The conditions sound good, and there seems to be no problem with the analysis, then...

Gan Jing raised his eyes: "Teacher Ge, I haven't considered changing the site for now."

Ge You asked: "You can't stay in Xiaoxun's studio all your life, can you?"

This is probably not for a lifetime, but it seems that there is no need for a temporary one. Zhou Xun opened his own studio out of the idea of ​​a more free acting career.

Now Gan Jing actually thinks the same way. Three films in five years are good, but there is still a constraint. It is not suitable for someone like me who is not easy to determine whether the next schedule will be Hollywood or domestic.

Just like the audition for Ang Lee's film was relatively sudden, it was not planned in the first place.

As for being a director...

Gan Jing thought about the storyboards that Tsui Hark asked him to learn, but he still had doubts in his head, and he had some respect for the director's profession.

Even if it is, wait for yourself to accumulate more experience, whether it is the grasp of the plot, the study of the storyboard, or the understanding of the shooting technique, the way of expressing thoughts...these still need to be improved.

After thinking about these things, Gan Jing's tone of refusal became firmer: "Uncle Ge, I really have no intention of changing the company at the moment, and I have to take care of things in the United States, so... I'm sorry."

Gan Jing's consideration was so short, it seemed as if those conditions hadn't passed through his mind at all.

Ge You narrowed his eyes, took a sip of tea lightly, and said a word.

"Uncle Ge? Am I that old?"
