Chapter 716: The Right to Speak

Film critics, sometimes a group that people love and hate, they control the content of the media to a certain extent, and have a considerable part of the right to speak.

Watching movies is life for the audience, and for them it is work.

Criticizing or denigrating a movie is often part of the job.

"Forrest Gump is losing the intellectual character that made him famous, and I don't see anything else in this film that is commendable other than fiddling with the shallow stuff, oh, maybe, I can say that the soundtrack is still good. ”

In Bairihong's office, Lao Chen read a comment from the American film critic Mick at a glance.

Gan Jing listened with a little bit, flipped through the documents in his hand casually, and waited until there was no sound before asking, "Are you done reading?"

"Hmm. Lao Chen clicked on the touch screen and said, "There is another article here." ”

"Don't read it, don't respond for the time being. "Gan Jing was not affected," went back and asked Andy to check, maybe it was the guy who took Warner's money. ”

"Hey, film critics, film critics, film and television critics. Lao Chen shook his head, he was more unhappy than the person concerned, "Let's buy some too, and by the way, brush up on the Rotten Tomatoes' score." ”

When the movie "Love What I Love" was first released, the score of the famous American film review website Rotten Tomatoes was 8.2 points, and now it has dropped by 7.1 points, which is a slightly weird speed, and it can't help but make people wonder if Warner is stumbling behind it again.

"There is nothing to buy in this kind of rating, and the box office is the biggest feedback from the audience. Gan Jing thought about it for a while, but he still didn't think it was necessary, if he was a small actor, he still needed to take care of it, but he didn't have to worry too much about it now.

Lao Chen didn't come over today to read those movie reviews, he reported on other aspects of the company's work: """Twenty Years Old Again" has been filmed for most of the time, there is no problem with Zhou Shen's side, and it is estimated that it will be released in the first half of next year. ”

"The signing of new artists is still chatting, and the studio opposite doesn't want to release people. ”

"Hu Ge is filming a TV series over there, and it's almost over, according to the Tang people, I'm quite optimistic about this "Langya Bang". ”

Gan Jing listened quietly, and didn't feel that there was anything that needed to be decided by himself, but the company's affairs still had to be understood.

"How is the response from my junior sister?" Gan Jing was noncommittal about the content of the report, and asked a question that he was habitually concerned about.

"Tan Shan's image is not bad, and the company is preparing to let her brush her face in front of young audiences last time in "Everyday Upward" or "Happy Camp". After the Peking Opera Society used "The First Chaos in History" as a filming location, it was okay, and I think the profits on the data are rising. "Lao Chen is concerned about these, the so-called good at the top, and very bad at the bottom, that's it.

Gan Jing knocked lightly on his desk and thought: "I will keep the Peking Opera at least once a year, which can be in the middle of the year or the end of the year." When their influence is higher, they will still go abroad, and I hope it is an invitation from outside rather than spending money. ”

Lao Chen nodded and did not express his opinion, the operation of the Peking Opera Society has always been relatively independent.

"By the way, you just said that you signed a new artist, but you don't want to release people on the other side?" Gan Jing remembered the report he had just heard.

"It's Yang Mi's studio. Lao Chen said, "She has signed a lot of people in her own studio, and after this casting contact, Zhou Shen is very optimistic about her Reba, and strongly recommends that we sign her." ”

"It is highly recommended..."Gan Jing frowned, Lao Chen's words are sometimes very particular, what does this mean? But he had never heard of the name of this artist before, and he had no cooperation with Yang Mi.

In his impression, Yang Mi seems to be similar to Zhou Dongyu in the company, but the other party has set up his own studio, and he is also the boss.

Lao Chen continued: "By the way, in the process of contact, I learned that there is a Li Juan on the other side who is a good player, and he has ten years of experience in PricewaterhouseCoopers. ”

Gan Jing was a little surprised, PricewaterhouseCoopers is a partner of Bairihong, but it is not only the company, whether it is its own foundation or Zhou Gongzi's charitable foundation, one of the world's four largest accounting firms has provided professional services.

Foundation, the market is relatively chaotic, the country has policy loopholes to drill in one piece, Gan Jing doesn't want any problems in this regard, so he has always cooperated with the most professional companies.

"She is in the position of a senior partner, and she has a deep understanding of the cross-border of capital. Lao Chen continued.

Gan Jing heard what his partner meant, blinked, and said with a smile: "Dig it up?"

"Dig it up. Lao Chen nodded, he found out that the senior executive opposite was a talent during the contact, so he moved not only to dig the artist, but also to dig the heart of the high-level, but the position of this kind of executive needs to be affirmed by the boss.

Gan Jing had no opinion and gave Lao Chen the right to decide.

The company's affairs, Lao Chen has become more and more professional in the past two years, and only when it comes to the projects of film and television works, Gan Jing will pay more attention.

However, just as he continued to wait for the box office of "Love What I Love", the American [Forrest Gump Here] company had the trend of starting a new project, and the intention of a new script was sent here.

Although the box office of the movie currently being released has not yet settled, everyone knows that the movie will be profitable, and the Hollywood giants have reacted in advance.

The right to speak.

Before filming the movie "Love What I Love", Gan Jing added a lot of Chinese elements, and even used Hu Ge, a fresh face that Western audiences are not familiar with, such a right to speak is not only related to his own investment, but also the accumulation of his past film reputation and box office, otherwise Paramount and Fox would not accompany him like this.

Now that they are about to make money and share the money, the giants naturally want to continue to cooperate.

coincided with many film critics judging Forrest Gump's works, and Paramount's senior management moved their minds.

In the past two years, Paramount's development has not been too smooth, except for the "Transformers" series as a faΓ§ade, other works have not responded well, and this "Love What I Love" is a highlight of this year.

Cooperation, awards, morale.

These are some of the intentions that Gan Jing got from the American company, and Paramount wanted to take advantage of the good cooperation that had just been there to create an award-winning work, and one of the conditions was to use Paramount's name throughout the process.

"Hmm, serious subject matter, shady, tax evasion, challenge?"

Gan Jing took the document in his hand and thought about it, Paramount wanted to finalize the cooperation before he even wrote a specific script, serious, ironic, and to some extent catering to the political correctness of the Oscars.
