Chapter 918 Four Good (Two in One)

The entertainment circle in [-] was a little bit depressed. Before the Lunar New Year, the fighting on Weibo continued until after the Spring Festival started, and it easily attracted the attention of the higher authorities.

In addition, Hundred Days Red, which has always had a good reputation, suddenly withdrew from the film, and the release of "I Want to Litigate", a high-profile collaboration between two actors with widespread attention, has become far away, which further reduces the overall popularity. The general vibe of the circle.

February [-]th in the Gregorian calendar is the end of the statutory holiday, but it wasn't until the release of the mythical movie "Tongtian" at the end of March that the film and television industry had a good start.

The box office of this movie exceeded 20 million on the first day of its release, and No.[-] broke [-] billion in three days.

However, the company considers that one billion is the threshold, and the boss happens to have an unexpected schedule. After thinking about it, the one-billion celebration banquet is decided instead of 12 billion or 14 billion.

Before the celebration banquet was prepared, some high-level executives also raised concerns. Isn't it a bit too conspicuous to hold a big celebration in such an environment?

Lao Chen gave a very clear reply, especially at this time, the more upright and not afraid of strict investigation - Bai Rihong has no problem, he is very upright, he just dares to play like this.

The thinking was unified within the company, and then the network began to show.

"What has Mr. Ge been up to lately? Come and give me some pointers." I haven't seen Uncle Ge Youge for a long time.

"Director Chen, let's have a drink and talk about a film appointment." Chen Kaige has been in close contact with Bairihong recently.

"Brother Hua, I'm more interested in the Director's Rising Star Project." I heard that Andy Lau is doing activities in the mainland.

"Wei Zai, let's talk about the script. I have a little disagreement with the script." This is a phone call from Gan Jing himself to Liang Chaowei.

The one-billion movie box office celebration banquet named "Tongtian" is actually proof that Hundred Days Red is not afraid of rumors. Of course, it is also a celebration, and this movie can make a lot of money.

However, when Hu Ge arrived at the celebration banquet, he was a little dazed. Looking at Ge You on the left and Liu Dehua on the right, he felt that he had gone to the wrong scene. Was there any film festival dinner here? Hotel held ah?
"Congratulations, congratulations, Hu Ge made a great movie."

Facing the senior's congratulations, Hu Ge reacted quickly and said modestly, "It's all done by Director Gu." This film was directed by Gu Changwei.

Ge You happily patted Hu Ge on the shoulder: "This is too self-effacing, and the acting is really good. But then again, originally, I admired A-Gump half. Now, with the filming of Hundred Days Red, I just admire half of it, A-Gump is actually going to make a series of mythology out of nowhere, it’s amazing, amazing.”

Hu Ge said seriously: "Yes, I also admire Forrest Gump. In fact, the company has a lot of scripts to choose from."

The scripts received by Hundred Ridge Red were arguable, and there were good comedies among them, which were obviously more popular in the market. However, due to several factors, the implementation of Project A in Asia proved that this kind of movie with oriental mythology can also be done. It sold well at the box office.

Several people stood at the entrance of the banquet hall and chatted about the topic, and they all chatted happily in a festive atmosphere.

At 07:30, Gan Jing appeared and walked in saying hello.

The banquet hall is very large, and it is not made into a table-by-table form. It is more comfortable for everyone to walk around freely.

"Forrest Gump is here, Niubi!"

"Forrest Gump, what is the cumulative box office of the films produced by this producer in you?"

"It's ok, Forrest Gump, you made the mythical movie."

Gan Jing smiled and chatted to the left and said hello first, and then took the microphone to the main stage. He is the chairman of Bairihong, and many people came because of him. No matter what, I have to talk a few words as an explanation.

"Good evening, everyone. Mr. Gan Jing, the producer of the billion-dollar movie "Tongtian", is here to wish everyone a good old age."

Gan Jing cupped his hands and paid his respects to the next year in his first public place after the new year, looking very relaxed and happy.

"Hey, just now a lot of friends asked me what was going on with Project A in Asia. There are more or less rumors circulating in the circle, but it is not as mysterious as everyone thinks. The original intention of this project is to mine IP in our fairy tales. Or, in fact, it is to make a mythical story into a big IP."

"Looking at it now, not to mention the TV series, the two "Naohai" and "Tongtian" by Bai Rihong are relatively successful. Of course, what I want to say here is that their success is not only due to our inward digging. Shinhwa IP does not mean that with such a label, it will be successful."

"A good story, a story that has been passed down for so long can stand the test. Good actors, the acting skills of Zhou Dongyu and Hu Ge are obvious to all. Good directors, directors Chen Kaige and Director Gu Changwei are the masters of these two films. The great factor of success. Good special effects, the quality of Huaxia Film and Television Special Effects’ unremitting efforts to be at the forefront of the world has paid off.”

"Today, I want to use these 'four good' to tell everyone that there is a market for good movies and good actors, and they can be recognized. I also hope that our movie market can have better development and order."

"Thank you, thank you everyone, thank you seniors and friends for your support, I believe that "Tongtian" will have a better box office, and Director Gu and Hu Ge will also bring you more outstanding works."

Gan Jing bowed deeply, and said it happily, and felt happy in his heart, although it may be a little bit off topic, but today's guests are a little out of bounds.

The applause from the audience was meant to be, but it was hard to tell whether it was politeness or sincerity.

"Forrest Gump, I feel a little itchy from what you said. You Oscar winner, I haven't worked with you yet. When will you make a book?" Ge You took the initiative to bring wine to chat about cooperation after Forrest Gump stepped down.

Gan Jing lightly touched his wine glass, and recalled carefully: "I remember being a cameo in your movie before."

"Hey, what kind of cooperation is a cameo? You look through, just look through the script of your Hundred Days Red to see if there is any suitable one. If there is, it will be enjoyable, if not, then wait for the future." Ge Youru said Really itchy, purely improvised.

Gan Jing's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "I really don't have a suitable script here, but Zhou Xun, Sun Honglei, Huang Bo, Hu Ge and I have agreed to make a movie for fun in the second half of this year. Do you mind coming to have fun together?"

Ge You's shiny bald head flickered under the light, like a flash of concrete inspiration, and he said in surprise: "You all have discussed this? Can the schedule be arranged? I have no problem, this year's schedule will be pushed away Yes, I wanted to rest."

Gan Jing said happily: "Everyone's schedule is being adjusted, so let's play one together."

He thought for a while and explained the remuneration method that he had talked about with other big names before, but Ge You did not hesitate to choose the form of zero remuneration + dividends, which was a bit beyond Gan Jing's expectations. Just choose the salary.

Well, Uncle Ge You probably drank too much.

Gan Jing's mood became more and more cheerful, he chatted with Ge You for a while, and then began to roam around the venue like a ghost—but it was a ghost that attracted everyone's attention.

As for people, some can wipe their faces, and some are reserved. Gan Jing does not miss every small circle. Although he is a bit tired, his manners are in place.

"Brother Bo, I've seen you chattering here from afar, why, what kind of acting ideas are you implementing for Sister Shu Qi?" Gan Jing strolled to Huang Bo's side after changing a glass of wine.

This is almost the extra station of "Extreme Challenge", Huang Bo, Sun Honglei, Zhang Yixing, Wang Xun, Shu Qi, Gan Jing called Huang Bo before and asked him to invite friends, Huang Lei and Luo Zhixiang happened to have an event and couldn't come .

"Oh, come on, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Gan Jing, the producer of our "A Good Show". You have all seen it just now. His last film "Babel" broke ten. Billion. So, follow our "A Good Show" crew, it's popular and hot, and everything will be fine!" Huang Bo pulled Forrest Gump's shoulders, as if he was a TV shopping guide.

Gan Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he ignored Huang Bo, said hello, and said to Zhang Yixing, the youngest: "What are you doing with these old fritters? Why didn't Brother Bo take you around with so many seniors on the field. "

Zhang Yixing opened his mouth: "Ah, uh, um..."

Huang Bo took a picture of him: "Stupid boy, what are you doing? Hold your brother Gan and let him take you to brush your face. He is the landlord, he is the boss of the film and television company, he is the actor, he is the director, he is Producer, if you don’t let him support you, let me, a new director, support you. Quick, call Brother Gang.”

Zhang Yixing was really a little shy about this situation, but as a young artist, he was willing to develop, so he really called out: "Brother Gan."

Gan Jing tilted his ear, curled his right hand into a half fist, pretending he couldn't hear clearly: "What?"

"Brother Gan." Zhang Yixing spoke a little louder.

Gan Jing put down his fist, shook his head and smiled wryly: "It's true, he asked you to shout, but you really only shouted."

A circle of people laughed beside them.

Sun Honglei said with a click: "It's done, my brother Gan will take someone to wash his face quickly, and he will drink too much later, and he won't even give you face."

Gan Jing pursed his lips, and signaled Zhang Yixing to follow him with his eyes. Speaking of which, he was quite impressed with how he got along with Zhang Yixing's partner when he participated in "Extreme Challenge". This kid is indeed a bit sincere.

The main thing is that getting along doesn't make people feel greasy.

"Come on, Yixing, call me Brother, hey, hey, don't call him Brother Wei, this kid is called Brother Chao Wei, don't call him old."

"This is Mr. Wang from An Le Films. Don't be unfamiliar with him when we meet in the future. Brother Wang will give you some pointers. You will have to avoid a lot of detours."

"Hurry up, brother shouting, Mr. Yu doesn't need my introduction, please ask for advice."

Gan Jing took Zhang Yixing around for half a circle, and really made the latter meet a lot of big names. They didn't say what will happen in the future, but now they will definitely give a smile and make a good relationship.

Compared with the old film and television giant Huayi, which is completely silent, now the rising of Hundred Days Red is the easiest thing to make people stand in line. Win-win and triple wins are common things in this era. Otherwise, Hundred Days Red eats meat while others drink. A bowl of hot soup is also good.

Before returning to Huang Bo's small circle, Zhang Yixing said to A-Gump sincerely: "Brother Gan, thank you."

Gan Jing patted him on the shoulder: "You're welcome, didn't you call me brother before, but ah, these popularity is good, but it's also relatively empty, you have to do well on your own, this point, many people I understand, but many people can’t stand the temptation.” In the program, Zhang Yixing called the others to be his brother and his brother.

Zhang Yixing nodded heavily. It is really not easy to do it. A labeled little fresh meat like him can earn a lot of money when he goes out to do random activities. They are all doing the same thing. It is easy and quick to make money. Who doesn’t Willing?How many people have the courage to tear the packaging and sharpen their abilities seriously.

This is a very real thing.

"What's the matter, why did our Yixing face become so strange when we went out with you?" Sun Honglei put his arm around Zhang Yixing's shoulder, feigning anger.

Just as Gan Jing wanted to make fun of him, he suddenly saw Lao Chen walking towards him quickly. He raised his hand and apologized, then turned and walked towards the corner.

"What's wrong? Old Chen?"

Old Chen's brows were stretched, and he said with joy on his face: "The people from Disney just got in touch and said that they intend to create a Chinese IP movie, and asked if we are interested in investing."

"Why did Disney come to you all of a sudden?" Gan Jing was a little surprised, and thought for a while, "What kind of movie is it, to be our domestic IP, so obvious?"

"I said that I want to make "Mulan", and I also want to invite you to be a guest star." Lao Chen said, "We still value our market here. In a few years, it will surpass that of the United States. It's okay not to value it."

Gan Jing thought for a while: "This is a female lead, what about the budget? Who will be used?"

"The role hasn't been decided yet. It is said that it is being selected. The crew will first choose from Hollywood, and the budget is around 2.5 million US dollars." Old Chen said the known information.

Gan Jing rubbed his ears: "2.5 million? Filming our domestic IP? Ancient Chinese heroines? Are you targeting a global audience? Are you so daring?"

He asked a series of questions, and he was really surprised. To spend this money to produce a film, how much box office would it take to get back the cost? It is very risky in Hollywood to choose a subject like this. Even if it is for the Chinese market, it is quite... have courage.

What is Disney going to do?
There are many thoughts in Gan Jing's mind. Is Disney going to experiment with new shooting techniques, just like "Avatar" back then?Or some financial operations?

"Let's understand the specific situation first. Disney's hand is quite big. Hey, I don't care that we are building a resort in Hanggang." Gan Jing was a little bit annoyed.

"The market is too big, the Disney family can't finish it, what does it care about." Lao Chen nodded, "If this film doesn't choose yellow skin, the box office will definitely hit the market in China by then, so we have to tell them first. "

"Well, Disney shouldn't be stupid."

Gan Jing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little hesitant about such a Chinese-themed movie that suddenly appeared.
