Gan Jing had previously talked with Kang Run, Bai Shi and several film and television companies invested in "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" about film investment with the theme of police and bandits, but the reasons for these refusals were all biased towards the market trend and were not optimistic.

If it is because of the script, actors and other factors, Gan Jing will continue to talk about the possibilities, but when it comes to the market, it is not easy.

People always believe what they want to believe, not to mention, the data in the market is the most important of all factors and also seems to be the most credible.

Fortunately, there are many domestic film and television companies, and what Gan Jing wants now is not funds but related resources, so he found five more companies after the script was completely exported, focusing on Hong Kong and Beijing.

Either it's close to you, or it's close to the place where you filmed.

Two of the three film and television companies in Beijing refused and one hesitated, and one of the two film and television companies in Hong Kong refused and decided to invest decisively.

Dongfang and Shancheng's initial plan is to invest 5 million each to participate in the production and distribution of the film, which is not much, but it completely solves the budget of "Infernal Affairs".

"Director Gan, how can there be enough such a thing as a budget, of course, the more the better. Hu Zhuo felt a sense of "one step slower" in his heart, and he still smiled on his lips, "Only big productions have big box office." ”

Gan Jing didn't go around much, and said simply: "The budget and the budget for publicity and distribution are indeed enough, and the two film and television companies are willing to invest in the future, but I don't think they need to invest more for the time being." In this way, Kangrun is a big company in the industry, and if it is willing to participate in the distribution, whether it is Beijing Blu-ray or Hong Kong Oriental and Shancheng Media, they should be happy. ”

"I personally welcome it and look forward to working with my brother again. Gan Jing said another kind word.

Hu Zhuo pondered for a moment, he knew Hong Kong Oriental and Shancheng Media, which were two small companies, it was an exaggeration to say that they could not enter the stream, but they could not enter the stream, which Gan Jing saw very thoroughly, and did not swell up at all because the funds were in place, and knew what the crew lacked.

However, Kangrun is accustomed to investment + distribution and has a certain right to speak, and simply participating in the distribution is a bit difficult to grasp the direction of the work.

Hu Zhuo's brows furrowed, he was a little unsure whether Gan Jing was deliberately operating like this, if he let his own Kang Run bring capital into the group, then Gan Jing, as one of the directors and leading actors, would inevitably have his right to speak weakened, and now in this case, Dongfang and Shancheng invested some money to be responsible for the distribution of the film with Kang Run, and the things in the crew are basically the director's final say.

"No problem. Hu Zhuo's mood didn't tumble for too long, "Director Gan, I'll go through the script first, and everything is easy to say if the story meets expectations." ”

"Okay, I'll send you a scanned version, it just so happens that I'm more convenient in the company. Gan Jing said naturally.

"Good, good. Hu Zhuo responded repeatedly.

Soon, he received an email from Gan Jing.

Hu Zhuo sat in front of the computer and downloaded the email attachment to the hard drive, and clicked on the document.

Script Title: "Infernal Affairs"

Director: Gan Jing

Reference candidates for the leading role: Gan Jing, Lu Wei (to be discussed), Ma Hammer (to be discussed), Xu Wen (confirmed), XX (acting actor to be selected)

Hu Zhuo subconsciously began to ponder when he saw these names, Gan Jing's acting skills are what he has seen, there is no problem, his current upward momentum is also very good, don't look at it is not too famous, but as long as a work explodes, it will immediately become popular.

Lu Wei, this should have been selected by Gan Jing after cooperating in "Murder Hunting", if the schedule is enough, he is a good candidate.

Xu Wen, she is actually the candidate who has already been negotiated? Shencheng International Film Festival has just won the film, and she is a powerful singer herself, her popularity is enough, and her acting skills are okay.

Horse hammer? Which horse hammer? I don't have any impression.

In the end, there is a male lead.

Hu Zhuo looked at the first page of the script that he clicked on and fell into deep thought, the match he saw was not bad, if there was a male lead, would there be a suitable one on his side?

Wait, the horse hammer? The horse hammer of the music producer?

Hu Zhuo didn't know how strange his expression suddenly became, he took out his mobile phone and edited a text message to Gan Jing: "Who is Ma Hammer?"

"A musician. Gan Jing's reply was quick.

"......" Hu Zhuo first made a string of ellipses, and then followed by another, "Can you please move?

"Let's open five-five. Try. Gan Jing was reluctant to give up a very suitable person, but he didn't say anything to death.

Hu Zhuo silently put down his phone and continued to read the script.

Normally, a script is tens of thousands of words, and he has been a producer for a long time and has been accustomed to reading it quickly, but this time he read it for a long time, and it was not until 11 o'clock in the evening that he finished reading the whole story.

The company had already left work, and only two or three office lights were still on.

Hu Zhuo first sent the script to his mobile phone, and then slowly locked the office and walked back.

"This is the first in a series. ”

"It's a very good story, and it has high acting requirements. ”

"What a fuck!"

Hu Zhuo was a little sullen, he should have had a good chat with Gan Jing about the content and ideas of this script before, he was too busy for the release of "Hunting for Murderers" at that time, and now he is probably letting go of another "Hunt for Murderers".

However, looking at Gan Jing's meaning, he intentionally or unintentionally grasped the right to speak and was willing to let Kang Run serve as the publisher, which really doesn't look like a new hand at all.

Hu Zhuo walked home, sighed before entering the door, and decided to try Ganjing's fire in a different way.

......

Two days passed.

"Chu Hui, I'll send you a number later, you can contact Zhang Zhonghui and see the schedule on his side. Gan Jing called the company's vice president of film and television on Saturday.

"Ah, who? Zhang Zhonghui?" Chu Hui received a call at the company, and when she heard the name, she even shook her hand holding the phone, in disbelief.

"This should be the agent number of actor Zhang Zhonghui, schedule, script, budget, salary, you can talk to him. Gan Jing continued to introduce the situation, "This is introduced by Hu Zhuo of Kangrun, which is very good. ”

"I guessed, but, how could he ......" Chu Hui was surprised after disbelief, Zhang Zhonghui is the first brother of Kangrun Film and Television, two actors, excellent box office performance, and an absolute top actor in China, how can a person like him participate in the film production of a company like himself?

"I heard Hu Zhuo say that he had a car accident last year and recuperated for a long time, so if he comes back, of course, he has to pick a good work, which is quite normal. Talk about it, the salary can be appropriately relaxed, but don't go too far. "Gan Jing is very peaceful.

"Good ......"

Chu Hui hung up the phone, her mood couldn't calm down for a long time, Zhang Zhonghui ...... Can I ask for an autograph when we meet?
