I want to make headlines

Chapter 903 Good and Bad News (Two in One)

The announcement of the preliminary shortlist for Best Documentary Feature Film at the 89th Academy Awards also announced the end of Gan Jing's work in the United States. He did not return to China immediately. He first held a rather grand dinner to thank his team members. Once again, it is used as a way to communicate with the Olympic judges.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory lists physiological needs as the lowest level, self-actualization needs as the highest level, followed by needs, social needs, and safety needs in the middle.

This kind of public relations dinner just satisfies the higher level of needs of the judges. Moreover, it is different from the banquet outside. Actor, that's still a bit rare.

It's like the difference between the supermarket owner and Ma Yun sitting next to him when eating. Even though the meal is still the same, the style is more impressive.

Because of this, many people are shouting "independent spirit, independent spirit" in their hearts, while smiling brightly and willing to communicate.

Host and guest enjoy themselves, that's all.

After going through all the aspects that need to be greeted at this time, Gan Jing embarked on the return flight.

This trip, he spent all his working time on the competition of "The End of Oriental Art", and he directly rejected the scripts of various film and television companies after only a few glances.

In the script handed over, either the story is not good, or the characters are not good. Even now, there are still not many characters specially customized for Forrest Gump in Hollywood, especially when Hundred Days Red is slowly exporting the world view of mythology in Asia. The next is even more so.

The giants in the Western film and television industry are not stupid. Many times they just think that they do not constitute a threat and there is no need to deal with it. It is not that they do not know what Hundred Days Red wants to do.

"Brother Gan, the box office of "The Scorching Sun" was 7.2 million the day before yesterday, and in another month, it might get another 6 million." Su Chixia may be the most relaxed person after this trip. It is not hard work for such an assistant to want to be a boss without thinking about it, and to be a boss without doing it.

Now, it can be regarded as sitting on the return journey of harvest, so she doesn't have to concentrate so much.

Gan Jing nodded to show that he knew the news, then shook his head and said: "The Spring Festival is in January, and "Scorching Sun" will be impacted by the Spring Festival schedule. For the big Chinese New Year, everyone's choice will be more festive. of."

He glanced at Yang Aiyan, who was wearing earphones and was watching a silly video, and said, "So, comedy is the best seller. There is no time limit. Everyone is willing to have fun anytime."

Su Chixia thought for a while, then said with a smile, "Then Brother Gang and Master Xing's "I Want to Go to Lawsuit" will definitely do well."

Gan Jing shrugged, thinking that Master Xing was still worrying about editing, and said, "I hope."

"quack."

A strange laugh broke the chat between the two.

Gan Jing's eyes swept over Yang Aiyan again, and he smacked his mouth, this guy... is heartless.

It took a long time to fly back to Beijing from Los Angeles. This time in the United States, I was busy almost the whole time, and I was also very busy during the occasional break. Sitting on the plane and looking at the white clouds outside the window, Gan Jing felt a little relaxed.

"Brother Gan, what are you thinking?" Su Chixia asked curiously.

Gan Jing didn't turn his face away, still looking out of the window, he said leisurely: "I'm thinking about changing to an assistant who doesn't talk much."

Su Chixia stuck out her tongue, not to disturb her boss anymore.

The white clouds are long, the blue sky is still blue, and this year is about to pass in a blink of an eye.

There is only half a month left in 2017 in the Gregorian calendar.

This year feels so fast, it seems that it was at the company's New Year's annual meeting before, and in a blink of an eye, another year has passed for Hundred Days Red.

"I hope everything goes well, and I hope Hundred Days Red will still be as popular next year." Gan Jing silently made another wish in the heavenly benefit system, not knowing whether such a wish is big or small for the system.

On the evening of December 12, Gan Jing returned to Beijing with his team.

"Xiao Su, send Yang Aiyan back. Brothers and sisters, I will go to see my master together." Gan Jing told his assistant in the underground parking lot.

"Then how do you arrange the itinerary for the next few days?" Su Chixia asked about the work content.

"There's no need to wait for this one, we'll see when the time comes." Gan Jing patted Yang Aiyan on the shoulder and said, "My boy, I didn't know until I was on the plane that you actually caught up with the girl from the company. It's ok, It’s almost Chinese New Year, remember not to lose your manners, everything should be settled.”

Being bored on the flight, the assistant Su Chixia talked about some company affairs, which were all trivial matters that Gan Jing didn't know before, and it sounded interesting.

Hearing such instructions, Yang Aiyan smiled honestly, touched the back of his head, and nodded: "Well, I am also the third director of Hundred Days Red now."

Bai Rihong has signed a total of three directors. Yang Aiyan feels that he has made some progress in this public relations trip. At least the psychological construction is much more.

"Yang Aiyan, I said that a great director has a big heart, but I don't mean to make you shameless. There should be a difference between the two before." Gan Jingyu said earnestly.

A group of people laughed.

Yang Aiyan knew he was joking, but he was still smiling.

The two groups separated, and Gan Jing got on the same car as the people from the Beijing Opera Club. He didn't feel anything when he was in the United States and on the plane, but now that he landed on the ground in the capital, he suddenly had a very strong feeling. The urge to report to the elders.

Although the Tan Family Peking Opera Club is not popular all over the country now, it is more than enough to be self-reliant.

At the beginning, the ancestral courtyard was sold, and now it is merged into Hundred Days Red PR Oscar, which is a different but broader path.

When Master Tan Yuan passed away, he must not have imagined such a scene, right?

Before the New Year's Eve, go to burn some paper and sprinkle some wine, and hope that he will know something under the spring, and feel relieved.

Gan Jing sat in the car and looked out the window in silence, just like on the plane.

Humans are very strange creatures. In most cases, Gan Jing does not believe in the existence of ghosts and gods. In a few cases, he would rather ghosts and gods exist.

……

From the first and second day of the new year, every family fights.

From the third and fourth day of the new year, people and guests come and go.

The first thing Gan Jing did when he returned to the capital was to visit his master Tan Shan's grave and report some achievements. Then his second thing was to immediately fly to Yangcheng to visit the grave of Lord Gan who raised him.

From a small security guard to a big star, it took eight or nine years. Gan Jing didn't return to Yangcheng every year. Ashamed to say, he even felt that Grandpa Gan in his memory was a bit blurred.

It's just that when he saw the photo on the tombstone, the words that Lord Gan loved to babble during the Chinese New Year in the welfare home sounded in his ears again.

What is a fighting narrative?
Gan Jing doesn't know until now, but he only heard that it seems to be the Hakka people here in Yangcheng.

This time back to Yangcheng, the itinerary was low-key, and by the way, I donated a sum of money to the orphanage anonymously, which can be regarded as a token of gratitude for the holidays.

After that, when he returned to the capital, the things that had been suppressed for two days came back before his eyes.

"Old Chen, I really want to know, if the first season didn't go well, I'll just do it myself. Why is the second season still not selling well even though the ratings of the first season were good and the movie "Nao Hai" also won a good box office? .”

Gan Jing sat on the boss's chair and let himself spin, feeling that this movement could shake off a little bit of the depression from before the Chinese New Year.

"There must be no problem with Youku. We cooperated very well in the first season, and the other party is already talking about the renewal of the second season very sincerely." Lao Chen frowned and said, "It is the attitude of the few TV stations currently under consideration. It’s all kind of ambiguous.”

"Ambiguous? Strange?" Gan Jing directly understood the meaning behind the words and asked, "Who is making trouble?"

Old Chen didn't answer this, and first said another news that was just confirmed: "Although the General Administration has not announced it yet, it is now confirmed that "Da Tang Xuanzang" will compete for the best foreign language film award in February next year."

Gan Jing snapped his fingers calmly: "Not to mention winning an award, I'll eat shit if it can be shortlisted."

"No way, no way." Old Chen said with concern, "It's too serious, I'll laugh forever if I'm really shortlisted."

Gan Jing rolled his eyes.

"In addition, it seems that some leaders are not very satisfied with your rejection of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala invitation again." Old Chen said another piece of news.

Gan Jing tapped his finger on the table habitually, but didn't say anything. This is already two pieces of bad news. Well, what about the utility of the prayer system?Is this pretending to be dead?
"Also, the General Administration has changed two leaders in charge." Lao Chen said so.

Gan admired his head, this seemed to be the third bad news, acquaintances are always easier to deal with.

"Is there any more? If there is any other news to tell, why did you cut it off!"

Lao Chen lowered his head and thought about it for a while, and he really thought of one thing: "The demolition progress of the Hanggang New District is lower than expected."

Gan Jing stood up and waved his hands: "Old Chen, the bad news before the Chinese New Year is enough. If there is any bad news, you can deal with it yourself, unless it is Bai Rihong's bankruptcy and you can't deal with it!"

"Something's not right recently, maybe..." Old Chen fell silent halfway through his speech.

"Maybe what?"

"Maybe I need to find a master to give advice, maybe it's because Feng Shui has changed." Lao Chen is from Hong Kong, and he has been greatly influenced by Hong Kong Feng Shui customs since he was a child.

Gan Jing looked sideways at Old Chen's serious face, and after a while he asked in astonishment, "Are you serious?"

"It's better to believe what is there than not to believe what is not." Old Chen said calmly.

Gan Jing slowly sat back in the boss chair, and waved his hand lightly: "Okay, sure."

Old Chen didn't react all of a sudden, he said in astonishment, "Huh?"

After a while, Old Chen wondered, "Why did you agree so simply?"

Gan Jing moved the document to the side, took a sip of the lukewarm tea, gathered his strength, stood up and leaned forward, and roared, "I found such a superstitious president! What can I do?"

Lao Chen: "..."

Gan Jing sat down and Lao Chen drank tea.

Both players calmed down.

"The celebration banquet of "Scorching Sun" with a billion-dollar box office, the annual meeting of Hundred Days Red Company, the editing discussion of "I want to go to court", and the summary of the company's performance throughout the year, these should be things that made people feel more relaxed a few years ago, right? .” Gan Jing counted with his fingers.

"Which schedule do you plan to release "I Want to Go to Lawsuit"? The Spring Festival will definitely be too late." Old Chen asked.

Gan Jing silently calculated the time in his heart, and replied: "May [-]st is about the same, but I don't know if there will be a lot of competition then."

"Huayi's lawsuit has come down, and we lost the final verdict." Lao Chen remembered something.

"Well, it's time to lose money. Poaching people is risky, but this year's performance of Bairihong is so good, and this group of people has done quite well. Compensate Liu Tao and the others for breach of contract, and we will admit it after the judgment is issued."

Old Chen got up and walked around twice: "Competition is okay. Liu Tao is now going to manage the garden. When the time comes, he can continue to manage the garden or return to film and television. Money is a small problem. Listen It is said that Huayi wants to promote a film to compete with us."

"Compete with us? With "I want to go to court"?" Gan Jing felt a little funny. He felt that the film was well shot, and it would be a good or even better situation when it hit the box office. "What film are they going to promote?"

"Feng Xiaogang, I heard that it is from the previous series, maybe "Mobile Phone 2". Back in 03, "Mobile Phone" sold very well." Old Chen thought for a while, "But maybe it is a brand new story, It’s just a layer of skins. Back then it won the box office championship, if you still want to win it now, you have to ask us.”

Gan Jing shrugged: "Don't be afraid."

In the office, the chairman and the president continued to chat about the good news and the bad news, and helped each other calm down.

After Lao Chen went out, Gan Jing rolled his chair to the floor-to-ceiling window, facing the scenery below, he began to think about what kind of film he should make next year besides "I want to go to court".

Brother Xun refused to listen to persuasion and went to shoot a TV series about the palace of the Qing Dynasty. The next year's schedule should be free.

Brother Bo used to be an assistant director with the crew, so if he doesn't direct the show next year, he can still have a schedule.

With the addition of myself, three main characters can be established in this way.

However, there is no suitable script for the time being.

Gan Jing thought about such a thing, and planned to wait two days to have a talk with these two people first, and then focus on seeing if there are any interesting script stories.

The whole day was spent in the office, but this day Gan Jing was not all dealing with work. When he was distracted, he looked at the comments on "Scorching Sun" on the Internet.

Most of them are appreciative, and a small number of people see something that is not to their liking, and directly deny it completely-this is also common on the Internet.

During normal off-duty hours, Gan Jing didn't take the babysitter's car today, just took the subway to rush home like an ordinary person. He wore sunglasses and a hat, nestled in the corner thinking, and turned a blind eye to some suspicious and guessing eyes.

Ding dong.

Received several messages in a row on WeChat.

"Boss/Brother Gang/Uncle Gan/Forrest Gump, check Weibo."
