The investment and project approval of the script "Gone with the Wind" were almost decided, but the intervention of actor Zhang Zhonghui and Kangrun Film and Television behind him made things change suddenly.

The goal of this more literary film project is not too hidden to praise the heroine, and its investment cost is not too high, so when the popular actor Cai Kun expressed interest, the role of the second male Xu Qingyi was basically no accident.

In fact, Gan Jing only learned that the heroine of this play had come down after Zhang Zhonghui communicated with him, the person he knew, Liu Liwen, who had cooperated with him on stage and finally won the championship of "Actor".

Looking at it this way, it is very clear that the main investor of this drama is Yingjia Company, and Luo Lei is the first brother of this company, and he is the resident mentor of the variety show "Actor", Liu Liwen can be the heroine, there must be such a relationship.

From the perspective of investment ratio, Liu Liwen, the champion of "Actor", personally invested 5 million, her company invested 5 million, Yingjia Company invested 8 million and two other small companies invested 4 million, totaling 22 million Chinese dollars.

"Liu Liwen, I haven't cooperated, I heard that the acting skills are not bad, Kang Run and I squeezed out the two small companies that were originally invested by Yingjiala, and invested a little more money, I personally is 4 million, Kang Run is 4 million, and now the budget is 500 + 500 + 800 + 400 + 400 = 26 million Huaxia coins. Zhang Zhonghui obviously knew what to expect, and the introduction was very detailed.

Gan Jing went through the numbers in his heart and said with a smile: "With some more money, you can shoot "Infernal Affairs". ”

Zhang Zhonghui shook his head: "No, they put the publicity budget in advance, and at least 6 million of the 26 million publicity and distribution costs have to be removed, since it is to win the award, this number may be more, "Infernal Affairs" is different, the pure production cost is a lot more." ”

Gan Jing smiled, nodded and agreed: "Yes, of course "Infernal Affairs" is different, the actor brother got a salary of more than 10 million. ”

"Am I not worth it?" Zhang Zhonghui asked rhetorically.

Gan Jing immediately said: "It's worth it, Brother Zhang must be worth it." So, how much can I be paid for this "Gone with the Wind"? Brother Zhang, you are an investor now, how much do you think I am worth?"

Zhang Zhonghui suddenly fell into hesitation, and Gan Jing's tone of voice was very casual, but who knows whether he is serious or not? Although it has only been a few days, once he has made a decision to make a peace, then he will take it seriously.

Yingjia Company is a first-class company in the industry, I heard that Luo Lei is a husband who tends to play the heroine in the script, and the lineup of mentor + champion of "Actor" still has a certain topicality and attractiveness, after all, it is a variety show that relies on domestic fire.

Not to mention Kangrun, where he is located, he is not modest to say that it is a better company than Yingjia, and he is also a better actor than Luo Lei.

The gameplay of award-winning literary films is different from that of commercial films, and the acceptance of Chinese films in Asian countries is still relatively high, and large film and television companies are no strangers to the industrial chain in this regard.

So, in the case of winning ≈ return to the capital, how much is Gan Jing worth?

Not to mention the director, screenwriter or anything, this "Gone with the Wind" is not needed, let's just say that the acting skills of the actors in "Infernal Affairs" have been completed, and Gan Jingte must be worth at least 10 million!

"There is another small thing, let me say it in advance, there are some details of the script that need to be changed, if you want to make an award-winning literary film, don't rely on it commercially, it's not good to be like four. A friend of mine once said something that I deeply believe is that the biggest commercial aspect of art films is artistry. Gan Jing saw that Zhang Zhonghui was suddenly serious, and took the opportunity to say another small thing that was not worth noting.

Zhang Zhonghui suddenly felt Gan Jing's screenwriting ability, and he nodded slowly: "You have so many friends." Introduce me to the next generation. ”

"Okay, I like to make friends, and if you have any friends who are willing to invest, introduce them to me. ”

Gan Jing smiled happily.

......

In the producer's office of Yingjia Company, Liu Jina was in a good mood and sketched on the list of actors while chatting on the phone.

As a veteran producer who has worked in Yingjia Company for six years, it is possible to take over the matter of "Gone with the Wind" this time to make himself go further, and now there are two stage goals in front of him, one is to win awards, and the other is to praise people.

The script of "Gone with the Wind" is a typical and rare story dominated by the heroine, such a theme is advantageous for the awards, Liu Liwen herself has traffic and attention, and in addition, Cai Kun's transformation is what the judges like to see.

Now we still need to consider a question, which award does this drama mainly impact, is it the capital or the Yangcheng or the magic capital?

The mobile phone on the table "buzzed" and vibrate.

Liu Jina glanced at it, pressed the phone with a smile and said, "Cai Kun, how are you preparing?"

"Very good, is the boot time confirmed?"

"Not yet, I'll notify your agent if it's confirmed in the next two days. ”

The call was made by Cai Kun to inquire about "Gone with the Wind".

Liu Jina has a good impression of Cai Kun, thinking that he is very good at doing things, and the brokerage team handles communication very well, so it was the one who chose this one at the project meeting, and the two sides hit it off.

After chatting on the phone for a while, Liu Jina hung up the phone with satisfaction, and sometimes, the producer's extra income has to rely on these glamorous stars.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, there was a knock on the office door, and the vice president of Yingjia walked in.

Half an hour passed, at half past four in the afternoon, there was no smile on Liu Jina's face, and the vice president's decision to announce the temporary change was still in his ears - "Liu Jina, you can put the project "Gone with the Wind" for a while, or, if you want, you can take charge of the award after it is completed. ”

After another half an hour, Liu Jina had just come back to her senses, and the mobile phone on the table vibrated again, still Cai Kun's.

"Sister Gina, what's going on? Mr. Li just called me and said that the role of Xu Qingyi has changed! What's going on? Did I do it wrong? Did I offend Mr. Li?" Cai Kun's voice on the mobile phone was very steady, but several consecutive questions clearly showed that the emotions in his heart were not like sounds.

Liu Jina's brows furrowed tightly, and she comforted: "I just received news here that the company won't let me be in charge of the production of the movie." Cai Kun, don't worry, such a sudden change must have a reason, I'll ask it first, and then see how to solve it. You wait for me to call. ”

"Okay, Sister Gina, I'll wait for your news. ”

The second call hung up, Liu Jina glanced at the list of actors on the table who thought it had been determined, and was extremely upset.

Although she talked to Cai Kun like that, she clearly confirmed the company's decision from Vice President Li's words, and knew that the direction of things was not as relaxed and optimistic as she told Cai Kun.

Liu Jina took the list in her hand and crumpled it into the trash can, thinking seriously about which friend she should ask, although she has been in Yingjia for six years, the intrigue in the film and television company is too serious, and there are not many people who can talk about the truth at this time.

Favors, names, interests, all kinds of thoughts are rolling in my heart.

At half past seven in the evening, Liu Jina's office kept the lights on, and she finally got the exact inside information, Zhang Zhonghui and Kangrun Company kicked out two small companies that shared the risk of funds, and they would work with their own companies to create a work that hit the best actress.

By the way, Kangrun Company put forward a request to replace the producer, and the roll call was to let Hu Zhuo of their company replace him.

By the way, Kangrun Company asked the second male lead to be played by actor Gan Jing.

Liu Jina was very shocked and puzzled in her heart, to be honest, the joining of Kangrun Company is of course a good thing for the awards, but what do you have to kick out the producers of your company? It is normal for a movie to have several producers.

This kind of obviously abnormal information was easily linked to the designated actor Gan Jing.

Liu Jina has an impression of Gan Jing, she thinks that this person's image is not bad, and even, because of this factor, she also put forward a suggestion not to go too far in Cai Kun's team - although it was only casually mentioned.

Who is Gan Jing?

An actor who has just become a little famous, but is destined not to become popular.

Liu Jina has not watched "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", but she knows that its subject matter is pleasing and the box office is good, but according to common sense, it is difficult for a young actor in the entertainment industry who has had an accident and has a daughter to become popular quickly, and the public impression is not good.

Therefore, she heard that the Spring Festival movie was invested by Gan Jing himself with a house, otherwise, no film company would use him as the protagonist at all, and only his own funds could he gamble.

However, he succeeded in his bet.

But even so, normally speaking, such an actor needs to be digested and positioned by the public, according to Liu Jina's professional sense of smell, calculated in ten years, this person may be able to become popular.

"Brother Xun, is this Gan Jing signed in to Kangrun's banner?"

Liu Jina lit a lady's cigarette, ignoring the smoke that was already filling the office, and asked Wu Xun, another producer sitting across from her, for more exact information.

"It shouldn't be, but he performed very well in "Infernal Affairs", and I heard that Zhang Zhonghui likes this actor very much. Producer Wu Xun calmly provided the news, "It is said that "Infernal Affairs" is going to be set for October 1, and Kang Run is already discussing this matter with several companies, so let me let it go, saying that it is to give Zhang Zhonghui a face." ”

Liu Jina sneered: "Since Gan Jing didn't sign in to their company, why did Kang Run work so hard this time? ”

Wu Xun didn't have any expression, shook his head and guessed: "It may be the appreciation and support of the seniors for the younger generations, Zhang Zhonghui is the kind of actor who is more old-fashioned." ”

Liu Jina sneered again, but this time she didn't say anything.

After a long time, she extinguished the cigarette butt and asked for advice: "It seems that things have to start with Gan Jing, no matter what the reason is, Kang Run's undisguised bringing Gan Jing proves that he can also influence Kang Run's opinion in turn." ”

Wu Xun nodded slowly, and finally gave a judgment: "I guess Kang Run is very optimistic about the drama "Infernal Affairs". ”

Liu Jina's eyes flashed, noncommittal.

......

On April 12th, Gan Jing happily cut films in the company, and before he knew it, it was a morning past.

At half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, he took out his mobile phone and wanted to turn it on and chat with his daughter about a video, but as soon as he turned on the phone, he saw several missed calls.

Gan Jing groaned slightly, tried to dial back, the mobile phone has been quite quiet in the past few days, this strange number may be looking for something.

"Hey, hello, Gan Jing. Gan Jing called and reported to his home.

"Teacher Gan, hello, I'm producer Liu Jina. A person who was not familiar with him, but who could impress Gan Jing by mentioning his name, also reported his home.

I don't know what's going on, Gan Jing auditioned → her name→ she unconsciously smiled at her evaluation of herself, hey, it's that wonderful producer.

"Hello Liu Jina, is there something wrong?" asked Gan Jing with a slightly obvious smile.

Liu Jina's voice paused, and said: "Teacher Gan, that's the case, didn't I have an audition for a role with you last time? We discussed it here and felt that you and this role are quite compatible, I don't know when you can join the group? ”

Gan Jing was a little confused when he heard this slightly enthusiastic official notice, Lao Zhang said that Kang Run had already expressed something, didn't Ying Jia tell the producer yet?

Hey, how is that good? It's a little too impersonal to say it yourself.

Gan Jing scolded himself in his heart for not being a person and said to the phone: "Oh, Producer Liu, my side is handled by Hu Zhuo, the producer of the company's Beijing Culture and Kangrun, and the specific schedule is set by them, I don't know very well." I'm sorry. ”

Liu Jina heard the meaning of hanging on the other side, and hurriedly picked out and said: "Teacher Gan, Teacher Gan, I think there may be some misunderstanding between us, in this way, I invite you to have a meal, it just so happens that Liu Liwen, the heroine of "Gone with the Wind", and Luo Lei, the teacher of our company, also want to talk about this play, and please enjoy it." ”

Liu Liwen Luo Lei?

1+1 ≈ defeated?

Producer Liu Jina≈ trouble?

Defeat + troublesome ≈ refuse!

Gan Jing quickly cleared his mind in his heart, and righteously refused a meal that made him troublesome and likely to embarrass the other party even more: "No, Producer Liu, I've been busy here lately, so contact my company directly if you have something." ”

The phone just hung up.

Gan Jing held his mobile phone and thought for a second, then dialed the phone of Chu Hui, vice president of the company: "Hey, Chu Hui, hurry up and identify an agent for me, I want to be a person!"

Chu Hui: "???"

Well, the agent is the one who should take the blame!

Gan Jing gave the order simply and clearly, and hung up the phone again with satisfaction, it seems that there is no big accident in the matter of "Gone with the Wind", how can this matter be a little brag with the sister-in-law?

After all, I am a person who pays attention to the beginning and the end, and I should give an ending from the beginning of the audition.
