I want to make headlines

Chapter 346 Dinner

Dinner, dinner, the first word is the foil, and the latter word is the key point.

Chen Kaige didn't accept the gift of a watch that looked extraordinary in its packaging, even though it must be worth a lot of money inside.

"It's really difficult for you." Chen Kaige shook his head straight. Although he hadn't cooperated since "Mei Lanfang", but listening to his words and watching his actions, he felt that Gan Jing was not that kind of tactful person.

Gan Jing showed a hint of helplessness, and said, "It's really difficult to find Director Chen today."

"Tell me." Chen Kaige thanked Old Chen for pouring the wine, and stared at Gan Jing's expression.

After organizing the language a bit, Gan Jing explained the ins and outs. Whether it is Warner America or his own judgment on this, it is because someone inside China Film Group has obstructed this matter.

After listening to Gan Jing's statement, Chen Kaige knocked on the table unconsciously, thinking carefully about possible problems.

China Film is a colossal giant. It monopolizes domestic imported films in the same cage as Huaxia Film Distribution Co., Ltd., and there are many institutions and departments under it, and Chen Kaige doesn't know where to start.

"This matter, we need to think about it carefully." Chen Kaige thought for a while and then said, "And it may not be that there is a problem with China Film Group, it may be that there is nothing wrong with the General Administration."

Hearing this, Chen Huihong interrupted: "Aren't they usually bought and then sent to the General Administration for review?"

Chen Kaige explained patiently: "The kind you are talking about is an approved film, and Forrest Gump's is obviously a split film. If the box office is good, the latter must make money."

Gan Jing and Chen Huihong looked at each other, and it was true that they were looking for Chen Kaige. Judging by the way he blurted out, he was very clear about these procedures and inside information.

"Director Chen, I'll leave it to you this time. I'm really clueless about this, and I don't understand at all." Gan Jing stood up and raised his glass to toast.

Chen Kaige accepted the cup with a smile.

The three of them didn't start moving their chopsticks until now. After chatting for a while, Chen Kaige gradually cleared up his thoughts.

"There are too many company departments under China Film, so I won't ask him who is in charge of reviewing this film for the time being. I'll invite Huang Jianxin to a table soon, and see what he says." He mentioned a person .

As for those celebrities and actors, Gan Jing knew their names even if he had never met them before, but he had no memory of the person Chen Kaige mentioned.

"Who is this Huang Jianxin?" Gan Jing gave full play to his freshness of asking when he didn't understand.

"He is a director, producer, and screenwriter." Chen Kaige revealed a few identities with a smile, and then got to the point, "He and Han Sanping are old classmates, both from Beijing Film Academy, and they have a good relationship. Looking back Invite a table, drink tea, chat, and see if there is any misunderstanding."

Look!This is the way!If Chen Kaige didn't say anything, Gan Jing would never know who could influence whom, and where he needed to work.

Han Sanping is the chairman of China Film Group, but Gan Jing knows him well. He has never dealt with him before, and it is difficult to get results if he visits the door recklessly. Now it will be much better if he can have a middleman.

The dinner continued, and after the goal was determined, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves for a while, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

Two days later, Chen Kaige gave a reply, he was still in the clubhouse, preparing a slightly larger box, and he was the host to arrange a dinner.

On the phone, Chen Kaige also mentioned a few words, asking Gan Jing to pay attention to his attitude, keep a low profile and be gentle, and not to show his thorns. Still fresh in my memory.

That time was a dinner at China Film Group...

This moment, that moment, this time there should be no problem.

In the evening, Gan Jing arrived at the clubhouse ahead of time, waiting for Chen Kaige and others to arrive.

At 07:30, Director Chen's car arrived.

"Hey, wait for a long time, Gan Jing, let's get acquainted, this is Lao Huang, Huang Jianxin." Chen Kaige saw Gan Jing when he got off the car, and introduced the people around him with a smile, "Old Huang, this is Gan Jing Just call him Forrest Gump."

Huang Jianxin strode forward and took Gan Jing's hand: "I've known you for a long time, this is our third Cannes Best Actor in China, it's not easy."

Gan Jing smiled all over his face: "It's all a false name, Huaxia Film still relies on Director Chen and Director Huang to promote the development."

This sentence is actually not a big problem. These two are filmmakers of the older generation. The development time of Huaxia Film is very short. There is no doubt that these excellent directors have played a big role in it.

It's just that the times are progressing, whether to turn back the wheel of history or make great strides forward, then we have to look again.

"Don't be too polite, let's go in, long time no see, see old friends today." Chen Kaige said with a smile, "Lao Han won't arrive until later, let's go in and sit first."

The three entered the courtyard with a smile.

The boxes had already been prepared, and Gan Jing had already ordered a lot of dishes, but the menu was left to see what they like to eat.

Chen Kaige and Huang Jianxin have a good relationship. The latter is very interested in Gan Jing's experience abroad, and the three of them chatted pretty well.

After waiting for about half an hour, Han Sanping came late, and with him was a middle-aged man, a woman who looked quite young.

"This is Zhao Zhi, and this is Wang Ziwen." Han Sanping glanced at Gan Jing who stood up to welcome him, and smiled, "This is Forrest Gump, the pride of our countrymen."

Gan Jing felt a little relieved, he seemed to be quite easy to talk about today.

"I have admired your name for a long time." Zhao Zhi smiled shallowly, while the other Wang Ziwen smiled more sincerely, "Brother Gan, I like your movies very much."

After the group was seated, Zhao Zhi followed Wang Ziwen's words and said, "I also like the works of our actor, that's right, there are not many films in this country."

Gan Jing smiled: "There will be more in the future."

Han Sanping nodded: "Forrest Gump, you can't go to Hollywood and forget our roots in this country. We still have a lot of good scripts and directors in China, don't you, Kaige?" He complimented Chen Kaige .

"Hey, there are many good scripts, but they must be released." Chen Kaige smiled, "I heard that A-Gump's recent good film cannot be broadcast."

"Huh?" Han Sanping glanced at Chen Kaige, and suddenly laughed, "I said why are you so kind today."

He only said this sentence to interrupt Chen Kaige's continuation, and turned to chatting about other things.

After a while, Zhao Zhi on the other side continued the previous topic and said: "A-Gump has few works in China. Coincidentally, Xiao Ming will have a play in the second half of the year, and Jing Lei will also have a play. It just so happens that A-Gump will be a role. Let's show our face in front of the national audience."

Money can be given, gifts can be given, and film appointments cannot be accepted casually, especially in the second half of the year, there will be Boys who are preparing to hit the Oscars.

Gan Jing didn't know the origin of this person who came with Han Sanping, but he just smiled and declined saying: "My schedule is full this year, so I can only watch it next year."

Zhao Zhi's brows drooped: "Hey, the schedule can be squeezed. It happens that Xiao Ming is short of a second male, and Jinglei is also short of a second male, which is just right."

As for the two names in his mouth, Gan Jing could tell who they were, one was Huang Xiaoming, the other was Xu Jinglei. Hearing what he said, this meant that he wanted to play a supporting role for them?
The smile on Gan Jing's face gradually faded, he picked up the Moutai on the table and filled himself a glass of wine.
