In the current situation, the crew of "Beijing Meets Seattle" first needs to confirm that there is a photographer who can hold the scene.

Both the studio and Anle provide reference candidates for this position, but Gan Jing wants to find the most powerful, such as Gu Changwei, such as Lu Le, and Zhao Yiding.

These are all people who have proved themselves with their works, and most of them have the title of queen of great directors, "Farewell My Concubine", "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", "Heroes" and other works are all from their hands, and they have good cooperation with Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Chen Kaige.

However, when Gan Jing got their phone calls one by one, he didn't get any positive feedback.

Studio testing the waters?New director?

The three people Gan Jing was looking for were all old fritters in the circle, and they didn't even need to listen to the introduction to know the situation of this crew, and then happily chatted about other movie topics and possible cooperation in the future.

This is also a common thing in the current circle, like Zhang Yimou, who was born in photography, is the most successful one in the transformation.

These three also have such thoughts, and in the face of a fresh Oscar winner, they naturally have thought about it in the future, not to mention that Forrest Gump's studio seems to have a good flow of funds, and the future is still quite bright, maybe they can also be a capital promoter.

After a round of phone calls, I listened to a lot of beautiful words, but there was no substantive result, and Gan Jing couldn't help but have a headache.

How should this be done? Some of the best photographers in China are probably in this tone, right?

Why don't you try a foreign one?

Gan Jing was a little hesitant, not only did he hesitate to find photographers from abroad, but he also hesitated to increase the price and take money to smash the top photographers in China.

If you can use money to smash it, it will increase the possibility of a few points, but since it is in the circle, it is best to follow the rules, what is the market, then give it, it doesn't matter if you have a little more, but it's not good to smash without brains.

If the studio's film production at the beginning starts like this, what will be the future of the road?

Thinking about it left and right, Gan Jing still didn't make up his mind, but during the period, Wu Rustbo took the initiative to call to ask about the start time, and the two chatted about the script, and finally Gan Jing told him that the start time was about mid-April.

The photographer's problem was delayed for two days, and the progress in other aspects was fine, the supporting roles, props, and costumes were not a big problem, Gan Jing followed up by himself, and contacted Andy on the American side by the way.

Although Gan Jing returned to China, he can still hear the exact news of Warner from Andy from time to time, and the current internal turmoil within the group is indeed in turmoil, and Jeff, the president of Warner Pictures, is a man with skill, and he has won enough support from the parent company to try to grasp more rights.

In addition to the power shake within the group, Warner's legendary pictures, which had been working well with for several years, also collapsed.

At present, the struggle is still relatively fierce, and there is no winner for the time being, and Warner has no hands to ask Forrest Gump about it, but whether it is Kevin or Jeff, they are also willing to let Forrest Gump not get into this troubled water, so as not to cause trouble.

Of course, Andy can still help with Forrest Gump's Huaxia crew who need to go to the United States for filming.

Gan Jing continued to look for positions such as photography and art direction while urging the passports and visas of the crew members who had been decided in China.

After pondering for a long time, Gan Jing finally found Hao Rong's head.

The two chatted on the phone for a long time, and Gan Jing said his intention: "Lao Hao, let's talk about the dinner appointment later, now I have a serious matter, recommend me a photography master of your Chinese drama, and I will use it for the crew here." ”

"It's our play. Hao Rong corrected it, and then replied briskly, "Are you sure I want me to recommend you a photographer who is a descendant of Chinese opera?"

"That's right. Gan Jing admitted.

Hao Rong smiled "haha" and said in a voice that was afraid that Forrest Gump would not be able to hear clearly: "There is no photography major in Chinese opera. ”

"......" Gan Jing was speechless.

"Then what are you talking about to me in a hurry for a long time?"

Hao Rong said without arrogance: "Talk about movies, talk about courses, talk about crew building...... Do you need me to rehash it?"

"No need. Gan Jing was a little depressed and wanted to hang up the phone, but was stopped by Hao Rong.

"Although we don't have a Chinese drama, I can help you ask a friend. Hao Rong laughed again, "Bao Dexi, I have a good relationship with him." ”

Gan Jing had a little impression of this name, he vaguely saw it on the list, and after thinking about it, he remembered the origin of this person, a photographer in Hong Kong, and Ang Lee, Tsui Hark, and Chen Kaige.

"This is also a big name, so you can help me ask, cough, and tell him about the situation of my crew. Gan Jing replied.

Hao Rong pondered for a moment and said: "Your ticket crew, it doesn't cost a lot of money, and well-known photographers may not want to go, but Bao Dexi, he has something you can help with." ”

"Oh?" Gan Jing was intrigued.

"He's been very interested in special effects in the past two years, don't you have that Huaxia special effects? I think you two can talk about this, he wants to try directing a movie, if the special effects are done first, he is also easy to pull the crew. ”

"Nacheng, you say hello to him first, and then I'll call and chat. Gan Jing said.

"No problem. ”

The phone hung up here, and Gan Jing immediately searched for Bao Dexi's detailed information on the Internet, pondering the idea of chatting with this person again, so as not to simply "look up for a long time" and not be able to say something.

When the morning was about to pass, there was a knock on the office door, and it was Zhou Dongyu who came in.

"What's the matter?" Gan Jing nodded at her and asked.

Zhou Dongyu put his hands behind his back and sat opposite Uncle Gan's desk with a smile: "Busy?"

Gan Jing sighed and pointed to the somewhat messy information on the table: "What do you say?"

"Oh. The girl's hands rested on the table and pushed a delicate box in her hand, "Yours." Then Uncle Gan is busy. ”

"What is this?" Gan Jing glanced at it, buried his head in the information, and called out to Zhou Dongyu, "What about your next film, it's not easy to pay attention to the right script for you, I discussed it with Lao Chen, you can try a remake." Here are a few pretty good films, you can take a look at it, and you can have some impressions in your heart. I'm still thinking about it. ”

Zhou Dongyu took it a little confused: "Remake? Hasn't someone made it? Can the box office be good? In the box is a watch, I gave it to you, so that you won't forget me if you wear it often." ”

Gan Jing felt a sour tooth: "Ahem, okay." Remake or not, as long as you act well, at least the box office will not lose, success, let's just say it, I'm still waiting for a call here. ”

The girl pursed her lips and looked down at the list in her hand, which was marked with films from South Korea, Japan and the United States, and there were quite a lot of options.

It looks like the studio built it for itself...... Zhou Dongyu's mood suddenly improved a little.
