"Gan Dao, it's hard work. ”

"Oh, Russell, you've worked hard too. ”

The crew is coming to an end, the actor invited the director to dinner, but as soon as he sat down, the two stared at each other, Russell has recently paid attention to the movements of American film public opinion, and even because of the source of funds, he also specially found someone to understand the situation in China.

As a result, as soon as I understood it, Russell's mentality collapsed, Gan Dao was the best actor and best director, and there were so many fans in the Oriental Country, was the movie not released in China?

Therefore, he really feels so hard and sad, if the movie he starred in does not perform well in North America, he can't cover it up with the global box office?

Do the math, the original record of three in four years is due to the director's rapid shooting, is it going to become four in four years?

Russell was helpless, sitting opposite Gan Jing at the moment, feeling a lot of emotion, but a thousand words still turned into one sentence: "Gan Dao, can you lend me some money?"

Gan Jing's hand in cutting the steak froze, and he looked at his male protagonist: "Can I borrow the steak now?"

Russell pointed to the place where the knife and fork met: "Cut, can't retreat." ”

Gan Jing couldn't cry or laugh, he poured himself a glass of freshly squeezed juice, never expected that this dinner would immediately turn to the most embarrassing part of the relationship just after the two exchanged pleasantries.

Also, the expected situation of this Russell is not good, but it is not good enough to this extent?

"How much are you going to borrow?"

Russell coughed, carefully holding out two fingers.

Gan Jing frowned slightly: "Twenty million? This is not a small number, you can talk about the situation first." ”

Russell was stunned for a moment, and his tone suddenly became high: "Gan Dao, Gan Dao, it's not 20 million, it's 2 million! The main reason is that I have a fund whose money has been frozen, so the funds are a little unable to turn over." ”

"Oh, that's right. Gan Jing nodded, "Then wait for me to ask someone to investigate your situation, and if there are no questions, you will be answered the day after tomorrow." ”

Russell's moment was simply looking back on his life, and he was glad that he had always been more law-abiding, and he was stunned for a moment until his eyes focused on the steak that had been wiped out by the director.

What else do you want to talk about today? The impulse to say the main purpose first and then suddenly forget about other things.

Oh yes, the crew situation, the public opinion environment.

"Actually, if you can stay up for a while, the situation should improve when the movie is released. Gan Jing was half-full, and saw Russell's expression come alive, so he said.

"Director, the situation our film is facing is not very good. Russell couldn't help but say, "The publicity here in New York alone is not very good, and I heard that the work is being blocked, right?"

Gan Jing muttered: "It is true that there have been some obstacles, but the release of our film in the United States this time mainly relies on the word-of-mouth of large-scale screenings, this part Robert has done a good job, and fortunately, the federal bill ensures that the film company and the studio have a lower impact on the theater chain, although it is a little troublesome, but we have a relatively large living space for the theater chain." ”

Russell will be suspicious, he has been a fairly simple actor for many years, and he has not had much contact with film scheduling, and now looking at the director's calm look and coherent narration, it seems that there is still some hope?

Buzzing, the phone on the table vibrates.

Gan Jing glanced at it, answered the phone of executive producer Robert, and slowly frowned after listening for a while.

End of call.

Russell looked at the director's solemn expression and asked, "Director Gan, what's wrong?"

"Our producer, Edward, backfired. Gan Jing said.

Russell said a little inexplicably: "Anti-water? The movie is almost finished, what's there to do about it? Could it be that it stole our shooting materials?"

"No, I think the success of this film will depend a lot on the results of our screenings. Gan Jing said slowly, "But because the opponent is relatively strong, I am worried that they will be screening the movie, so I plan to screen the audience, film critics and media reporters, Robert is in charge of this, and Edward will participate in the implementation." ”

Russell asked a little nervously: "What about now? Haven't we started screening yet? Isn't the crew still finished? It takes time to cut the film!"

"I'm cutting the film very fast, now...... Edward didn't know which one he was buying, but probably had some evidence of Robert's remarks that he wanted to buy audiences and critics. Gan Jing shrugged, "That can only: there is an inner ghost, terminate the transaction." ”

Russell once again felt that a mysterious force had covered him, and that this fourth drama couldn't even be completed? The producer was actually paid to expose the evidence of the crew's dishonesty? The public's opinion in this regard is very important!

"Can we buy Edward back before he is exposed?" Russell thought.

Gan Jing sighed: "He was already being interviewed by the media when you and I borrowed money. ”

Russell: "...... "So am I borrowing it or not?"

There was silence between the two for a while, and Russell felt that the steak was not fragrant.

"I have to think about the screening, it's a bit serious. Gan Jing realized the consequences of this kind of sore foot being caught and publicized, and said in Chinese, "If the king is not secret, he will lose his subject, if the subject is not secret, he will lose his body, and if he is not secret, he will be harmful." ”

Russell didn't understand the latter words, but it was obvious that he was in big trouble, and the opponent would not let go of such an opportunity, especially if the documentary shot by Maine Film was going to talk about the scheduling of films in the Eastern Country, they would do something better.

Dinner ended in a hurry, and Russell escorted the director out of the dining room.

It's just that when the two arrived in front of the car and were about to say goodbye and separate, a burst of music came out of the mobile phones of passing diners and made them all frown.

"Let's do it first, I'll hear back about borrowing money, but maybe a contract is attached. Gan Jing's face was a little unswerving, and after saying this, he got into the car.

Russell waved goodbye, and he stopped outside the car to listen for a moment, making sure that the lyrics in the song were talking about his crew, and it was clear that there was a force pushing things forward.

Gan Jing in the car didn't explore the lyrics of the music he heard, he just took a ride and picked up He Yue, who was wandering around the nearby mall, and then continued to think about the screening and publicity of the movie.

If you don't have your own credible team, it's easy to get things done, but now that there are problems, you have to think about how to solve them.

"He Yue, did Robert call you, is the lawyer ready?"

"It's ready, but Robert advises that it shouldn't be too intense. He Yue already knew what situation he was facing, and said helplessly, "He also said that he may need to resign from his responsibilities, and media exposure of this kind of thing will have a great impact, whether it is for the crew or for him personally." ”

Gan Jing was silent, this kind of public trust is very likely to deal a serious blow, if Robert's resignation is responsible for abandoning the car to protect the coach is indeed a means of response, but it does not necessarily stop the opponent's offensive.

Producer Edward's contract has liquidated damages, and he suddenly broke the news to the media that someone must have instructed the crew behind the screening, and the reaction to the content that looked like improvised lyrics before getting in the car just now also proves this.

Finding a new producer on an ad hoc basis is also at risk, and the crew's work could be messed up for the rest of the day.

The quality of the film is of course the key to the success of a released work, but it must also be released, and there must be a basic line for the work to play, and it is difficult to say what to guarantee in the current situation.

"Think about it. Gan Jing squinted slightly, weighing the pros and cons, now there is a more normal way to use the movie is to postpone the movie, the public's attention will always be updated quickly, and it is a good means to release it in two or three months.

But in that case...... It seems that I can't catch up with the summer vacation of second thought.

If it is not extended, it is a bit reluctant to defuse the crisis of confidence with Robert's resignation, and find another veteran producer...... Or, simply release it directly in Europe first, so that you can not only return to China to accompany your daughter after the release, but also accompany your daughter before considering the release in the United States.

Movies don't have to be released simultaneously around the world, first Europe and then the United States, and the European people will be happy to see a satirical film about the United States.

Gan Jing exhaled and re-sorted out his thoughts.

The nanny car arrived at the hotel, and the two hurriedly boarded the elevator, but at the moment when the elevator closed, they both saw reporters outside the hotel.

"I think they came to interview me, don't you think?" asked Gan Jing.

"Eight or nine are not far from ten, boss, sleep well first, I will say to the hotel that I will refuse the interview." He Yue said calmly, she knew that this hotel would protect the privacy of guests.

Gan Jing frowned and nodded, this offensive is one after another, and it doesn't stop at all.

When the two arrived at the suite, Gan Jing changed into pajamas and began to contact Yu Jing who was far away in Europe, she was a person who used the company's Blu-ray channel to talk about the distribution of the movie, it is said that the progress is not bad, and now you can consider changing the priority.

He Yue was on the sofa to contact producer Robert and other people in the crew, in addition, she also had to tell the domestic publicity and distribution department, which should pay more attention to the public opinion situation, and there was a new entertainment in her home that was eyeing her face.

It was quiet in the suite, except for the occasional call between two people.

"Boss, Robert just sent me a song that a hip-hop artist improvised to satirize us. He Yue got up from the sofa, and she was about to go back to her room to rest, "I'll show you." ”

Gan Jing said "um" without help, and waited until the agent went out to read two more news from domestic companies before clicking on the song she sent.

Hip hop, hip hop, a type of American pop culture.

Gan Jing doesn't like this kind of culture very much, and sure enough, after he clicked on the song to play, he heard a series of words with the asterisk key at the beginning, which he couldn't listen to in China!

F***，F***，****......

Gan Jing turned off the music expressionlessly after listening to half of it, forget it, don't have the same knowledge as them, endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky, first Europe and then the United States, and make money when the time comes.

Late at night, turn off the lights and go to bed.

Gan Jing lay on the bed without any sleepiness, the cancellation of CCTV interviews, the turmoil of domestic public opinion, the backlash of the crew and producers, and the promotion of the New York media, especially now, even hip-hop singers are kicking their noses in the face.

Forbearance, forbearance, forbearance The more I think about it for a while, the more angry I become, and the more I think about it when I take a step back, the more I lose!

Gan Jing sat up from the bed all of a sudden, and he ate all over the world with one move, and hip-hop stepping on his face is stepping into the traditional way of thinking!

Bullying me doesn't have my own team here, right?

Call, shake people!

Come on!

......

In Beijing, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the queen Xie Xin received a brief phone call and hurriedly ended the media interview, she quickly took the car back to her home, took her passport and other necessary documents and went straight to the airport.

On the way, she called the band's Ma Hammer and Ah Liang again and informed them to meet in New York.

The speed of this phone call was too fast, and there was no beginning or end, but Ma Hammer listened to Xie Xin's brisk voice and didn't look bad, and then thought that Gan Jing was in New York now, so he called Chu Hui slowly.

Nothing.

But Chu Hui could quickly contact the boss himself, so she quickly understood what was going on.

"Sister Hui, what's going on?" Liu Peichuan, who had just returned from New York, happened to be in the office chatting with the president about the follow-up plan, and he heard the words he was interested in from two consecutive calls.

"Brother Gan met with some publicity in New York, and he was ready to try it over there with our advanced experience in combining domestic music and film promotion. Chu Hui briefly introduced the situation, "But the situation seems to be a bit complicated, so he called Xie Xin over, and he had to transfer a professional to the past." ”

Liu Peichuan stood up suddenly: "Need someone, I'll go!"

Chu Hui asked calmly, "Ning also understands music?"

"Well, I'm an actor. Liu Peichuan was stunned, "I also know a little bit about the knowledge of the assistant director." ”

"That's not necessary, Xie Xin, Ma Hammer, oh, they also have a bassist Ah Liang, Gan Ge didn't say much just now, I heard that there is a habit of hip-hop mocking each other in the United States, probably like this. Chu Hui refused.

Liu Peichuan sat down again and pondered, "What is this for?"

Chu Hui drank coffee: "The specific and more detailed situation will have to wait to know, mainly because the public opinion situation in New York is not very favorable, so Brother Gan should be playing a game covering operation." ”

Liu Peichuan asked, "Coverage?"

"The public's attention is limited, and it is said to work well to cover the otherwise unfavorable news with fresh, exciting new news. Chu Hui smiled, "Zhang always said that, I believe that Brother Gan can make exciting news." ”

Liu Peichuan thought about it and saw in the crew that the boss had controlled everything from the beginning of filming, and nodded: "Well, I also believe in Brother Gan, I think he knows a lot about American culture, the hip-hop you just mentioned...... And part of the understanding?"

"Maybe, wait and see in China, just cooperate. Chu Hui said calmly, "Brother Gan can handle everything." ”

She added: "I remember before I went abroad, he said that this time he would be full fire, probably this is part of it." ”

Liu Peichuan nodded slowly, he felt that he was part of being opened.
