I want to make headlines

Chapter 634

On December 22, Hundred Days Red, Huayi, [-]th Century Fox, and Paramount held a joint press conference, officially announcing that it will be directed by Luc Besson, starring Scarlett, Christopher, and Hugo. To create a commercial blockbuster "Love What I Love", the production cost budget is [-] million US dollars.

Although the news has been warmed up and released long ago, this press conference still shocked the industry.

The cost of [-] million US dollars may have water, but the actual cost must be an astonishing figure!

This means that the target box office of "Love What I Love" is at least 6 million U.S. dollars, and it has to be higher than this point to maintain its capital. In the whole of last year, there were several movies that could reach 6 million box office at the global box office. ?
In 2012, there were a total of 6 movies with a global box office of more than 10 million U.S. dollars, and the last one was the series "Men in Black 3" with 6.24 million U.S. dollars. Seeing that this is the end of December this year, it can almost be sorted out. This year's box office rankings.

This year, there are a total of 8 films in the world, and the last place is also the US$2 million series "Thor 6.21".

It can be seen from this that the situation is not optimistic, and the pressure must be enormous.

In addition to being shocked by the production cost, another detail was captured by the reporters. The cast announced at the press conference did not include Forrest Gump's name.

This is different from what I heard before. According to Forrest Gump's Weibo, even the director Lu Ke was hired by him when he flew abroad. How come he doesn't have him now?
Moreover, Hundred Days Red participated in it again. Could it be that Forrest Gump is a producer?

Soon, without waiting for A-Gump to answer his doubts, the news of the press conference spread overseas and the feedback came back.

American Hollywood film and television giant Warner held a press conference, stating that it would sue Chinese actor Gan Jing for the de facto breach of contract.

One side is a well-known domestic actor, and the other is a global film and television giant. The former company just released a new movie to be produced, and the latter gave a response immediately after the press conference. This time, the people who eat melons bought a few catties more. melon.

Hundred Days Red Company was silent. A group of directors and actors from Hollywood returned from their trip to China. The other three film investors did not say anything.

However, when several parties did not express it, some sensible people still speculated the truth.

"According to what Warner said at the press conference, the time for the signing of Forrest Gump and Warner has not yet arrived. The reason why Forrest Gump's name was not mentioned in the Hundred Days Red press conference before was to avoid telling the truth, but if Forrest Gump really participated, then probably It is the de facto breach of contract that Warner said, that is, if you don’t say it, but you do it, then you must still violate the contract.”

"Warner is a giant, and the liquidated damages for the contract that Forrest Gump signed with them is probably a very large number. I don't know the details of the specific terms, so I don't know what the situation is. It's either a settlement or a lawsuit. I tend to be the latter. Because... Boss Warner is a devil now!"

Speculation and analysis from different angles are frequently posted on the Internet, and there are quite a few high-level people among the people who eat melons. Some people have studied law abroad, and some are people in the industry.

These days, wearing a vest and saying that the insider has the most presence.

News, inside stories, speculations, and slanders had been circulating for several days, and Gan Jing was finally blocked by reporters at the entrance of CCTV because of the censorship of the Spring Festival Gala program.

"Hey, why are you so enthusiastic?" Gan Jing asked the question knowingly.

"Forrest Gump, please respond, everyone is waiting to see."

"That's right, Forrest Gump, we haven't eaten yet, we're just waiting for you to come out from here."

The reporters responded enthusiastically.

Gan Jing wiped off his sweat, nodded to Yu Chengqing, his Spring Festival Gala partner who was surrounded together, and signaled him to leave first, and then he really saw that the reporters let Yu Chengqing out of the siege without even making a superficial effort—this is It is also the result of Forrest Gump's lack of response in recent days.

"Actually, there's nothing to respond to. What should I say? I'm an actor, and I'm just filming. The rest is handled by professionals." Gan Jing thought for a while, knowing that the reporters would definitely not be satisfied with this answer, and said, "For things like contract disputes, just go to court, well, I'm not afraid of that."

The reporters were emotionally excited. Didn't they even think about reconciliation when they filed a lawsuit?
"Forrest Gump, must this matter be settled through a lawsuit? Will it affect your filming of "Love What I Love"?"

"Cough, at present, I think the story of this script is very interesting, and I am considering whether to join." Gan Jing blinked at the camera, not admitting that he is the leading actor, "Warner said the contract, then everything depends on the contract, I personally Those who have not signed a contract to participate in the show, everyone should pay attention to this."

"So which one will be your next one in Hollywood?"

"Not yet." Gan Jing replied calmly.

"Forrest Gump, how do you feel about this incident? After all, it is not a good thing to be involved in a lawsuit in the public opinion."

Gan Jing pondered for a while: "Lawsuits are actually a very good way to defend rights. Uh, well, it seems that Warner is defending rights now? Hmm... I really have a little bit of feeling, and my heart is very complicated. After all, I have been in Hollywood. Warner, I just didn't expect it to end like this. I wish you well, and I hope they wish me well too."

Some reporters were very surprised, they didn't expect Forrest Gump to have such a peaceful mind.

After answering a few more questions, Gan Jing finally escaped with difficulty. When he boarded his nanny's car, he was a little surprised to see that Chen Xiaojun was also in the car.

"Why are you here?"

Chen Xiaojun was pressing his mobile phone, and after saying hello, he said with a smile, "It's just on the way, I'll go to the company too."

"Well, when will the show air?" Gan Jing asked about a previously recorded show.

"Christmas is special, everyone is looking forward to it." Chen Xiaojun was very excited when he mentioned this, looked at the boss's expression, and asked, "Is Warner's matter easy to solve?"

Gan Jing twisted his neck, heard two beeps from the cervical spine, took out his mobile phone, and replied: "It should be just arguing, the lawyers on both sides of the lawsuit are not weak, and in the end it's nothing more than nothing. In fact, they are a little Take the heat."

"Wanner?" Chen Xiaojun's eyes widened all of a sudden, "Uh, Warner's popularity?"

Gan Jing nodded: "A lot of times, the publicity model is the same. It is estimated that Warner has a new work to be released recently. This is also a double-win for them."

Chen Xiaojun was puzzled, feeling that there was a trace of suspicion, did the boss think too highly of... himself...

However, just one day later, Warner announced that a new film was about to be produced. "Transcendence" has a planned budget of 1.5 million US dollars. At the same time, "Winter Romance" will be released in the near future.

Chen Xiaojun was convinced at once, the boss is worthy of being the boss, and he is far more sensitive to this kind of thing than himself!
