Chapter 664 The Pressure Is So Much (Two in One)

The next day, near noon, all the people staying in A-Gump Villa woke up.

Everyone slept late last night, and they drank a lot of wine, so Gan Jing thoughtfully did not prepare any rare seafood, big fish and meat, but simply boiled millet porridge, served with Had fresh side dishes.

This most common brunch won praises from several stars, and Huang Bo praised Zhou Dongyu, who had presided over the main work these two days, even more in paradoxical eyes.

Well, it's just a normal compliment.

After the simple and warm brunch, all the stars and actors are about to go home. Before leaving, they also confirmed the impromptu idea last night to play a movie together.

As for how to play, this matter is naturally left to Mr. Gan Jing who initiated this matter.

Gan Jing is not afraid of this at all. He likes to toss in the film industry. Whether it is a producer, director, or actor, things around the film are quite interesting to do. Of course, different identities have different emphasis of.

After everyone left, Gan Jing still kept in touch with Huang Bo, one of them was in the villa and the other was in the car, sending each other WeChat and chatting about movies.

In other words, chatting freely about the cooperation plan between the two.

Looking at Huang Bo's films so far, the works that have received good responses in the market always have a leading actor who can hold the market. "Crazy Stone" has Guo Tao, "Tai囧" has Xu Zheng, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has The blessing of the article and Stephen Chow's influence.

Huang Bo is a good actor, but his image is still limited. This is the feedback from the market and management for such an actor, and it is also the direction Huang Bo needs to break through in the future.

Now, Forrest Gump said that he can cooperate with an international work, which may be an opportunity for breakthrough - the development of internationalization can in turn promote breakthroughs in the domestic market, Huang Bo is very moved by this.

The two separated from the villa, but for a whole afternoon, Huang Bo and Gan Jing had a hot conversation, and you and I were very happy.

One is an actor who has been in Hollywood and has taken everything home and abroad, and the other is an actor who has risen from the beginning to become a big star. They have a common language about movies, markets, trends, and each other.

They chatted until twilight fell, and finally Zhou Dongyu interrupted Gan Jing who was sitting by the pool in the name of dinner.

"Hey, I found that Huang Bo is really a very interesting person." Sitting at the dining table, Gan Jing still commented on such a colleague, then turned to Zhou Dongyu and said, "Wait, help me download all his movies and I will Look, I haven't watched many of his movies in the past two years."

Zhou Dongyu responded, and after sitting down, he looked at Uncle Gan expectantly.

"What's wrong?" Gan Jing was a little puzzled by her, "Is there a flower on my face?"

Your face is prettier than flowers, Zhou Dongyu murmured in his heart, pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "I made these with my own hands, you can taste them if they are delicious."

Gan Jing became a little interested, picked up two chopsticks, tasted them, nodded, picked up another plate of food, nodded again, took a sip of fish soup, and put down his chopsticks: "The first plate is a bit of a dish. Salty, the second dish was slightly sweet, and the fish soup was not fresh enough."

Zhou Dongyu was happy to see him nodding at first, but when he heard this, his face turned dark: "Then why are you nodding?"

"Just order it if you think about it." Gan Jing said as a matter of course.

"Eat, after eating, there is only one bite of food left today, I, I, I don't want your favor." The girl said angrily.

Gan Jing shrugged, didn't ask her why she didn't want to, and ate these slightly salty, slightly sweet, and not fresh enough dinners very calmly, and Zhou Dongyu had nothing to do with him in such a good manner.

After dinner, Gan Jing originally wanted to continue to take a break, but the things accumulated in the past two days caught up with him like a smell, and his mobile phone began to jingle non-stop.

Lao Chen is now the CEO of Bairihong Film and Television, and his role is more and more inclined to corporate affairs. As a company that has just been established and is quite impressive, he is busy every day without touching the ground, but it is Gan Jing After delegating most of the powers, Lao Chen still has some things that he cannot decide.

"Huaxia Film and Television Special Effects, just wait a little longer."

"Capital Film Forum? Let's push this down."

"For the cooperation intention of Guangguang, you are the CEO, you can just decide. Do I have to do everything myself?"

At first Gan Jing answered Lao Chen's phone call, but during the process there were still many text message notifications coming in, so he simply hung up the phone and opened his laptop to chat with Lao Chen via video.

On the screen, Lao Chen's bags under his eyes are slightly heavy, but his head without hair is very bright, and he is in a contradictory state of haggard and excited.

"Old Chen, let me tell you, since the company has been established, each department has its own business, you look at this and that, you are tired, and other people are also under pressure." Gan Jing lay on his back On the sofa, I remembered something, "How about the lawsuit in the United States?"

American Warner sued itself in court for breach of contract. At that time, Andy helped arrange this matter and found a lot of lawyers. Later, due to the busyness of Studio 8, it was transferred to Hundred Days Red.

"It's just been in court for the first time. According to the legal team's opinion, this matter can be postponed indefinitely." Old Chen sighed, feeling depressed when facing the shopkeeper, "It seems that there is no problem at present, but Depp's movie "Super Hacker" has been filmed, and the schedule has not been set, and the American media is already hyping that they will wait until the schedule of "Love What I Love" is fixed."

"Hey, interesting." Gan Jing turned from reclining to sitting upright, "Warner never let go of every opportunity. On the one hand, they sued me, and on the other hand, they used my film to hype the confrontation."

"In addition, what Studio 8 talked about is almost the same. The way of in-depth cooperation is that the two of us jointly fund and establish a film and television company in the United States. We are 51% and they are 49%. We hold the autonomy and they give priority to cooperation. I I think it’s enough to talk about this, not to mention the sincerity shown by Andy in "Love What I Love" before." Lao Chen reported another important thing.

In the past, Studio 8 wanted to recruit Forrest Gump as a shareholder, but due to the injection of some domestic funds, Gan Jing hesitated to make a decision. Now after several rounds of negotiations, the two sides have approached in this way Finish.

Gan Jing looked serious, pondered for a moment, and carefully weighed the main conditions of this cooperation in his heart. He actually trusted Andy very much, but this kind of trust can only be a proportion in official cooperation. You must know that many things are not It's not that you don't do it if you don't want to do it, capital will push you behind.

"One more thing, we have the priority to repurchase 49% of the shares. The value may fluctuate, but this right is fixed." Gan Jing said slowly into the video.

"You're so worried." Old Chen was a little startled. He knew what A-Gump was worried about, but he was still a little surprised at this point. He frowned and said, "Then we'll probably have to talk about it later."

Gan Jing waved his hand: "There is no rush. In the second half of the year, our company will mainly do three things well."

Old Chen rubbed his forehead and listened attentively.

"First, matters related to "Love What I Love"; second, the joint film between me and Huang Bo, this project can be approved until next year, similar to Hu Ge's; third, you will draw out a crew in the second half of the year, me and Huang Bo The three people from the company, Huang Bo, Zhou Xun, and Sun Honglei plan to play one." Gan Jing said bluntly.

The first thing is okay, but what about the last two things?
Old Chen on the screen looked blank, when did he hook up with Huang Bo?Didn't we just communicate two days ago?Didn't it take two days to sleep by myself, but two years?

"That... this..." Old Chen was a little shocked, and his speech became hesitant.

Gan Jing remembered the two films that had just been confirmed, and said directly: "I think it's quite interesting, you can try it, the investment doesn't need to be too big, several people will pay for it, and you should also pay attention to the script."

Old Chen is really speechless, he doesn't even have a script for this co-author, could it be that he settled on it with a slap in the face?
After a long time, he reluctantly replied: "I will set up two project teams in the company. Do you have a project name?"

"Just plan A and plan B, the names don't matter." Gan Jing replied casually.

Lao Chen nodded, taking this matter that caught him by surprise and obviously increased his workload to heart, and continued to report on the internal progress of Hundred Days Red Company. Students, as well as the backbone of other film and television companies, can be said to be thriving.

Gan Jing listened with a "hmmmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhssssessions' of answering mobile phone messages, and occasionally communicated with him about questions that he was confused or interested in.

In this way, in the early morning, Lao Chen's mouth was dry after his report, and Gan Jing was a little tired from listening.

"That's about it. I'll contact you whenever there is something new. If you want to jointly set up a company in the United States, you will eventually be required to be present." Old Chen reminded, for fear that Forrest-Gump might get stuck in the crew and couldn't get out.

"No problem." Gan Jing agreed, this is all his duty.

The long video conference ended here, and Gan Jing had completed part of his duties as the chairman of the film and television company.

In the early hours of the morning, Zhou Dongyu had already returned to the city, and the staff of the previous dinner also cleaned up the villa and evacuated, and there was only one person and one dog left in the huge space.

Gan Jing still got off his phone, yawned, and walked into the courtyard.

The air in the capital city is surprisingly good tonight. Looking up at the sky, I can see many stars shining.

——Twolegs, I remembered something, when Twolegs kissed you at night, another Twolegs saw it, that ugly Twolegs.

Gan Jing was a little puzzled, not sure if Gouzi's aesthetics was the same as his own, so he asked suspiciously, "Which one is the ugly one?"

——There is the one who keeps talking to you, the one who is not as tall as you.

Well, well, the golden retriever should be talking about Huang Bo, but I didn't see it during the day.

Gan Jing didn't really take this matter to heart, but he was a little strange about Gouzi's recent changes: "Why are you so gossip lately... er, do you pay so much attention to other people's movements?"

——If you don’t let me play games, then I can only find some other fun in my boring and monotonous dog life. It’s interesting to see the lives of you two-legged beasts.

Gouzi will be very energetic, talking in circles around A-Gump.

"I think one day you will really become a spirit." Gan Jing raised his head and pointed to the moon in the sky that just emerged from behind the clouds. Absorb the essence of the moon, and you will become wiser."

--real?
Gan Jing looked serious: "Of course it's true."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and entered the living room, leaving a dog squatting in the courtyard and meditating on the sky, how to suck the essence of the moon?
……

At the end of June, director Luc's third official edit of "Love What I Love" was handed over to four investors.

In fact, this version is not a version that he cut out according to his own wishes like Lu Ke said before when he got angry. Something to look forward to.

In other words, this version is quite satisfactory to Forrest Gump.

On the contrary, Fox has some criticisms, thinking that this version may not be able to win the love of American audiences, but so far, Luc's right to direct the first cut has come to an end.

The following edits will be jointly referenced by the two giants of Hollywood to give opinions. At the same time, the film version will invite representatives of different levels to screen in the California area, so as to evaluate the box office potential of the film, and then make further revisions.

This is a bit like the one where Forrest Gump invited colleagues to the dinner, but this kind of screening is very formal and relies on various rigorous data.

After Gan Jing finished appreciating the latest version, he still called Luke to express his gratitude to him. Although there were some minor unpleasantnesses in the editing after the finalization, the relationship between the two parties was still good when they were on the crew.

If he can, he will fully push this version to be released in theaters as the final version. At least, the domestic market should be fine.

At this point, there is no problem with the skeleton of the film-edited version, and the release schedule has been pushed forward very quickly. In the end, after several discussions, everyone has always agreed that this film will be put on the Christmas file.

This is not a stressful schedule for China, but for foreign countries, the Christmas schedule is worth fighting for.

The reason why Fox and Paramount finalized this schedule is that Warner wants to use "Super Hacker" to snipe and hype, and in turn, "Love What I Love" can also do the same.

To hype this kind of thing has always been on both sides.

As for the box office, you still have to see the real chapter under your hands, just to see who harvests whom.

Gan Jing had no objection to this, the first thing he did after confirming the schedule was to notify Huang Bo, and then the fine man said decisively that he would change the release time of his movie.

Later, he also announced the news on Weibo and official website.

——If the movie I starred in is not good, then I can only go back to being a director.Hey, it's so stressful.

　I was a little busy, so I wrote two chapters and posted them together.
