116. Vertical Markets
"Daddy is in bed again!"
"Humph!"
When Gan Jing hummed a song, brushed his teeth and washed his face easily, and came to the living room, he heard his daughter's first reaction.
How can a person like himself who sleeps at 2 a.m. and gets up at 9 a.m. be said to be lying in bed?
As for the word "again", it is even more slanderous.
Gan Jing smiled and stretched out his hand to stop his daughter's posture of rushing over, and said hello to Li Qin, the housekeeping aunt who had just come out of the kitchen: "Hard work, Aunt Li." ”
Li Qin is a native of Ji Province, she came here because she was not worried about her son who was working hard in Beijing, she usually had nothing to do, and she could save some money for her son to marry a daughter-in-law by doing housekeeping.
"It's not hard, it's not hard, the house has always been clean. Li Qinle hehe, "Director Gan, you are very good now, I still hear the sound of your movie when I walk on the street." ”
Gan Jing blinked, he shouldn't have shown his voice in the movie's promotional video, and when he heard his voice while walking, wasn't it a pirated movie on someone else's mobile phone?
"That's good, it's going to be red. Gan Jing laughed and didn't get to the bottom of it.
"Last night when my son came home, I saw you in the newspaper he was holding. Li Qin said in a rare tone, "It's amazing, in our place, these are all celebrities who can get subsidies." ”
What does this mean?
Gan Jing didn't understand too much, but this didn't prevent him from listening to his aunt's chatter while making tea.
When people get older, it's easy to talk a little bit about the wheel, but their hearts are good, Gan Jing has nothing important to do at home, and the second thought is to sit on the sofa and watch cartoons, he simply has nothing to do to help Li Qin get a mop, nothing to help her pick up a basin of clear water on the side.
This state lasted until the appearance of assistant Chu Hui.
"Brother Gan, it's almost a week before our movie is down. Chu Hui is here to report work, "The box office is a little more than 200 million." ”
Gan Jing nodded.
"I have received four cooperation intentions here, well, not counting Bai Shi, they all contacted me after the celebration banquet last night. Chu Hui didn't take a small notebook, she kept all the affairs in her head.
Gan Jing nodded.
"So far, we have received a total of nine endorsements, but the brands are relatively small. Chu Hui hesitated for a moment and didn't report the names one by one.
Gan Jing nodded.
"Finally, the bad news, Bai Shi Film and Television said that it will not continue to invest in the media to maintain the image of you and the movie. Chu Hui's voice was a little softer.
Be respectful...... couldn't stop looking down, he asked suspiciously: "Bai Shi Film and Television is still doing this?"
Chu Hui replied cautiously: "As far as I know, this is the case. ”
"What is it?" asked Gan Jing again.
For example, Director Gan wrote a "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" based on his own life experience. For example, the only movie worth going out for the whole family during the Spring Festival. For example, the most amazing director of the decade. Chu Hui casually cited the examples she had seen.
Gan Jing was a little confused: "I didn't let them do this." ”
"For the sake of good box office. Chu Hui gave the biggest reason for the producer.
Gan Jing frowned and thought for a while: "Is there a nanny car brand for endorsement?"
"Huh?"
"I said, didn't you just say that someone asked me to endorse me? Is there a nanny car to endorse me? You can consider buying one at a discount for convenience. Gan Jing asked.
Originally...... Is that topic over?
Chu Hui endured the feeling of asking for instructions: "For the time being, there are no car brands to come to Gan Ge for endorsement." ”
"Then push it all, if there is a nanny license plate to find it before the box office dividends come down, remember to tell me, just push the rest away." Gan Jing groaned slightly, and stopped talking.
Chu Hui smiled: "If there is, maybe I can send one." Well, Brother Gan, if you have any instructions, just say it. ”
"Do you understand the contract?" Gan Jing no longer hesitated.
"I understand a little. Chu Hui replied.
Gan Jing showed a smile: "Do you really understand or do you really understand?"
"I've studied it for a while, mainly involving the film and television business, if you ask about the criminal aspect, it's not good. If there are questions I don't understand, I can still find a law firm. Chu Hui guessed the situation in her heart.
"That'll do. Gan Jing walked two steps to the balcony and sat on a recliner, motioning for the assistant to take a stool and sit down.
"When Happiness Knocks on the Door, you know the cause and effect of its fundraising, right?"
"Know some. Chu Hui still replied with some caution, she was hired by producer Qian Mei from Bai Shi to be Gan Jing's assistant, and in addition to the crew, Bai Shi Film and Television undoubtedly has the most factors, and when you think of the contract issue just mentioned, I'm afraid it ......
"That's right. At the beginning, due to financial difficulties, the contract was signed more strictly and there were more authorizations. Gan Jing said with a deep groan, "I asked Liu Zhao before I left last night, and I heard that he meant that he planned to continue to use this film to apply for awards, which is naturally a good thing." Then, neighboring Asian countries also have plans to follow up, which is also a good thing. ”
"But I don't think I'm thinking about Europe and the United States. ”
Chu Hui frowned and said: "Our movies have always been unpopular over there, and even if they are released, they are only watched by some Chinese." ”
Gan Jing nodded and said, "Well, I know this, but I still want to release the movie on a small scale and then turn it to the video market." ”
"Video market?" Chu Hui was very puzzled, she really hadn't had much contact with this aspect.
"Yes, that's a long-term income, and the video market in the U.S. is good. Gan Jing said lightly, "This movie belongs to a more common value, you can try it, of course it is the best, and it doesn't matter if you don't." Would you like to try it?"
"This ......"
Chu Hui turned his mind around, this kind of work was a bit beyond his imagination.
Gan Jing helped her sort it out: "First contact Bai Shi Film and Television, get back the DVD peripheral authorization, and then you can contact Neon Country first, doesn't Bai Shi Film and Television also want to put the movie over there? Then, it is to contact the United States, and it is inevitable that the video market will give profits to that channel, and you don't have to worry too much." ”
After thinking about it, Chu Hui said with some difficulty: "Am I alone?"
Gan Jing shook his head and said, "No." ”
Chu Hui smiled.
"And me... Trust in you. Gan Jing encouraged.
Chu Hui's smile froze, and she finally couldn't help it: "Brother Gan, isn't your idea a little too advanced, can we accept it?"
"I've thought about a problem opposite to yours before. Gan Jing continued to encourage, "You can do it." ”
"No, no, it's not a question of whether I can do it, well, I'm a little unconfident. Chu Hui made a bitter face, "Can this make money, how much can it earn, is it necessary?"
"It doesn't matter how much you earn or how little you earn. For you, it's about accumulating experience in different fields, and for me, it's about watching you accumulate. Gan Jing smiled, "Anyway, you're idle, DVD, I'll cut out a director's cut collector's edition." ”
"Wasn't the previous one edited by you?"
"If we don't talk about it, people won't know. ”
Chu Hui gritted his teeth, and gritted his teeth again, well, I still have to investigate the situation and think about it.
