Chapter 215: New Script
The details of the investment in Uber are still being negotiated by the team hired by Gan Jing, and he has not met the two founders of Uber for the time being, but has only started looking for professional managers after learning about the situation.
Since you don't have the right people on your hands, you have to look for professionals from the market.
Gan Jing told the headhunter about his request, and then immediately focused his energy on Warner's side again.
"Andy, how's the film contract going?"
When he first arrived in the United States, Gan Jing met Andy, listened to him briefly talk about the situation and went to work on investment, and today the two made an appointment to talk in detail in the office.
Andy loosened his tie, first looked at Gan Jing a little uncomfortable with a strange look, then got up and slowly walked to his side and stretched out his right hand: "Good actor." ”
"......" Gan Jing looked at Andy, who suddenly became nervous, and helplessly reached out to hold it, "You are okay." ”
"It's incredible. Andy let go of his hand, his expression returned to flatness, but his mouth was still admiring, "It seems that the yellow race is really talented in character interpretation." ”
Gan Jing raised an eyebrow.
Andy continued: "I've always felt that you Oriental people's restrained and rich emotions can bring more unique flavors. ”
Gan Jing smiled: "If it is possible, let me play the yellow skin in my true colors, and I will definitely perform more excitingly." ”
For a long time, he has relied on makeup and slightly modified character settings to complete his movie roles, which has to be said to be a pity.
Andy nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, there will be a script like that." But now let's take a look at the current situation. You may be seated, my Mr. Actor. ”
Sitting on the sofa, Gan Jing saw his agent flip through the documents before turning his gaze over.
"Forrest Gump, I screened it, and at present, there are several films that we are preparing to project or are in the process of initiating, but there are not many suitable ones. Harry Potter 2 you definitely can't play, we can't change the setting, Sherlock Holmes is also a sequel, even if you add your character in 2, there are not many scenes, Green Lantern can't, I don't like the cheating pass, Death is coming 5 Even if you add it, there are few scenes......"
Andy said a bunch of inappropriateness, and finally said: "Two films, one "Crazy Stupid Love" and one "Heartbeat", this is our Warner resource. The former is middle-aged, and the latter is a teenager. Well, the latter is not suitable either. At the end he added.
There weren't many of them, and as he spoke, he killed another one, and Gan Jing wondered, "It's not suitable, so what are you talking to me about?"
"In this department, we plan to bring in capital and share the risk, and if you are interested, I can be responsible for contacting it. "Andy mentions this one to say this.
Gan Jing spread his hands: "Then do you mean to let me play "Crazy Stupid Love"? Or do you want to play the old? By the way, you just said that Warner's resources are this, what about the outside?"
Andy had said before that some of the forces in their major film and television companies have a potential tacit understanding, and now they are only limited to selecting one from Warner's resources, so what about Warner?
Andy smiled gently and said, "Several blockbusters from the second half of this year to next year, Mission Impossible 4, Pirates of the Caribbean 4, Fast and Furious 5, Cars 2...... A lot of series have to be filmed. The other ones have almost confirmed the candidates, and at present, as far as I am concerned, there is one that is not bad. Although the budget is not over 100 million, it is very close. ”
"What?" Gan Jing felt Andy smile a little strangely.
"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is about a chimpanzee who is injected with fund drugs and has the wisdom to pursue freedom. Andy smiled.
Leaning over and touching his chin, Gan Jing first asked, "What is the budget?"
He is not very anxious about money, but in Hollywood, the salary largely represents the coffee position of an actor, and Gan Jing is curious about his current value in Andy's eyes.
After a little hesitation, Andy said, "2012 did pretty well at the box office. The "Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko", which you invested in and acted again, is also a success. According to this market, it is still very easy for an actor to rise by three or four million US dollars. ”
Gan Jing calculated in his heart that he was more than two million dollars in "2012" before, and if he added three or four million, it would be six or seven million.
Now the remuneration of Hollywood's top actors has risen from the previous $20 million club to participation and risk sharing, and many of them receive a final remuneration of far more than 20 million.
"It's less than I thought...... Okay, is there a script for Rise of the Planet of the Apes? I'll take a look at it first, and there's Crazy Stupid Love. Gan Jing was slightly disappointed.
Andy shook his finger and continued to say with that subtle smile, "Slow. Planet of the Apes has two characters, the protagonist and the supporting role, which one do you choose?"
Gan Jing said without doubt: "Of course it's the protagonist." After a pause of a few seconds, he suddenly reacted, "The protagonist is an orangutan?"
Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the protagonist is, of course, a chimpanzee!
Andy nodded first and then shook his head: "It's an orangutan, but of course it's played by people, but I definitely can't see who played it, and there will be effects in the later stage." ”
“……”
After two minutes of silence, Gan Jing said: "Then the supporting role! Talk to them about the salary!" The attraction of the supporting role has decreased a lot for him.
"No problem. The latest joining of the Cannes actor is still a good topic, playing a supporting role, and the salary is of course the treatment of the supporting role. Plus, there's plenty of time between now and next year. I have the script of "Crazy Stupid Love", you can take a look at it first. I'll get in touch again, and if there's no better option, then this one is okay. ”
"Okay. Gan Jing said a little reluctantly, feeling that such a result could only be regarded as unsatisfactory.
Andy thought for a while, and there was nothing else to do for the time being, so he took out the script that he had already left and handed it to Gan Jing.
Gan Jing saw that his file box was full of scripts, and couldn't help but say, "That's all scripts?
"It's a pity. That's true. Don't rush, take it slowly, your current trend is already very good. Andy locked the filing cabinet and separated Gan Jing's eager eyes, "In addition, I suggest that you can consider buying a real estate in California, the recent market may be good, and it is convenient for you to settle down, and it is a waste to always stay in a hotel." ”
After leaving Warner's office building, Gan Jing, who returned to the hotel, was still considering the advice given by his agent, but as soon as he made a decision, he received four phone calls in succession.
Four phone calls, from afternoon to evening – he received four invitations from different places.
