The next day, close to noon, a group of people who stayed at Forrest Gump's villa got up.

Last night, everyone generally slept late, and they all drank more or less alcohol, so Gan Jing and considerate did not prepare any rare seafood, big fish and meat, but simply cooked millet porridge with fresh side dishes.

Such the most ordinary breakfast and lunch made several celebrities praise, and Huang Bo praised Zhou Dongyu, who has presided over the main work in the past two days, in his paradoxical eyes.

Well, it's just a normal compliment.

After the simple and warm brunch, the star actors are about to go home, and before leaving, they have confirmed the idea of last night's temporary idea to play a movie together.

As for how to play it, this matter is naturally handed over to Mr. Gan Jing, who initiated this matter.

Gan Jing is not afraid of this at all, he likes to toss in the film industry, whether it is a producer, director, or actor, the things around the movie are quite interesting, of course, different identities are emphasized.

After everyone left, Gan Jing did not cut off contact with Huang Bo among them, one of them was in the villa and the other was in the car, and they > each other

In other words, chatting about the cooperation plan of the two.

Looking at Huang Bo's movies so far, there is always a leading actor who can hold up the scene in the works that have a good response in the market, Guo Tao in "Crazy Stone", Xu Zheng in "Thai Embarrassment", and "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression" has articles and the blessing of Stephen Chow's influence.

Huang Bo is a good actor, but there are still some restrictions on his image, this is the feedback of the market and the capital for such an actor, and it is also the direction that Huang Bo needs to break through in the future.

Now, Forrest Gump said that he can collaborate on an international work, which may be an opportunity for a breakthrough - the development of internationalization can in turn promote a breakthrough in the domestic market, and Huang Bo is very moved by this.

The two separated from the villa, but for a whole afternoon, Huang Bo and Gan Jing chatted hotly, and you and I were very happy.

One is an actor who mixes in Hollywood and eats all the domestic and foreign actors, and the other is an actor who has risen slightly and finally become an atmospheric actor, they have a common language for movies, markets, trends, and each other.

chatted until the twilight of the day, and Zhou Dongyu interrupted Gan Jing, who was sitting by the pool, in the name of dinner.

"Hey, I found Huang Bo to be such an interesting person. Gan Jing sat at the dining table and commented on such a peer, turned his face and said to Zhou Dongyu, "Wait a minute, you help me download all his movies and I'll take a look, I haven't watched many of his movies in the past two years." ”

Zhou Dongyu responded, and after sitting down, he looked at Uncle Gan with some expectation.

"What's wrong?" Gan Jing was a little puzzled by her, "I have flowers on my face?"

Your face is better than flowers, Zhou Dongyu muttered in his heart, pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "I made it myself, can you taste it delicious." ”

Gan Jing became a little interested, picked up the chopsticks and tasted two of them, nodded, sandwiched another plate of dishes, nodded again, and finally took a sip of fish soup and put down the chopsticks: "The first plate is a little salty, the second plate is slightly sweet, and the fish soup is not fresh enough." ”

Zhou Dongyu was happy to see him nodding, but when he heard this, his face suddenly darkened: "Then what are you nodding?"

"You can order it if you want. Gan Jing said as a matter of course.

"Eat, eat, there is a mouthful of food left today, I, I, I don't want your mind. The girl said angrily.

Gan Jing shrugged her shoulders, didn't ask her how she didn't want to, and calmly ate these slightly salty, slightly sweet, and not fresh enough dinners, and looked like a stream, so that Zhou Dongyu had no way to take him.

After dinner, Gan Jing wanted to continue to take a leisurely time, but the things accumulated in the past two days followed as if he smelled, and his mobile phone began to ring non-stop.

Lao Chen is now the CEO of Bairi Red Film and Television, his role is more and more inclined to company affairs, and as a company that has been established for a short time and is quite grandiose, he is busy every day without touching the ground, but Rao is willing to delegate most of the power, and Lao Chen still has some things that cannot be decided.

"Huaxia film and television special effects, wait. ”

"Beijing Film Forum? ”

"The cooperation intention over there, you are the CEO, you just decide, do I still have to do everything myself?"

Gan Jing answered Lao Chen's phone at first, but there were still a lot of text messages prompting in the process, so he simply hung up the phone, opened his notebook and chatted with Lao Chen about videos.

Lao Chen's eye bags are slightly heavy on the screen, his hairless head is very bright, and the whole person is in a contradictory state that is both haggard and excited.

"Lao Chen, I said you, since the company has been established, then each department has its own affairs, you look at this and that, you are tired, and other people are also under pressure to do work. Gan Jing reclined on the sofa and remembered something, "How is the lawsuit in the United States?"

Warner of the United States sued himself in court for breach of contract before, and Andy helped arrange this matter at that time, and found a large number of lawyers, and later because of the busyness of Studio 8, it was transferred to Bairi Hong.

"It has just been the first trial, and according to the opinion of the lawyers' team, this matter can be postponed indefinitely. Lao Chen sighed, feeling a kind of depression in the face of shaking his hands in the shopkeeper, "At present, there is no problem, but Depp's "Super Hacker" has been filmed, and the schedule has not been decided, and the American media is already hyping that they will wait for the schedule of your "Love What I Love" to be finalized. ”

"Hey, interesting. Gan Jing turned from reclining to sitting upright, "Warner really doesn't miss every opportunity, on the one hand, sue me, and on the other hand, use my film to hype up the confrontation." ”

"In addition, Studio 8 is almost the same, the way of in-depth cooperation is that the two of us jointly fund the establishment of a film and television company in the United States, we are 51%, they are 49%. We hold autonomy and they prioritize cooperation. I think it's almost the same when it comes to this, not to mention the sincerity shown by Andy on "Love What I Love" before. Lao Chen reported another important matter.

Previously, Studio 8 wanted to recruit Forrest Gump to become a shareholder, but in view of the injection of some domestic funds, Gan Jing had some scruples and did not settle for a long time, and now after several rounds of negotiations, the two sides are close to completing it in one such way.

Gan Jing's face was serious, he pondered for a moment, and carefully measured the main conditions of this cooperation in his heart, he actually trusted Andy very much, but this trust in official cooperation can only be proportional, you know, many things are not something you don't want to do, capital will push you behind your back.

"In addition, we have the right of first refusal to repurchase 49% of the shares, and the value measurement can fluctuate, but this right is fixed. Gan Jing said slowly into the video.

"You're so worried. Lao Chen was a little surprised, he knew what Forrest Gump was afraid of, but he was still a little surprised when he got to this, he frowned and said, "Then I guess we have to talk about it later." ”

Gan Jing waved his hand: "Don't worry." In the second half of the year, our company mainly does three things. ”

Lao Chen shook his head and listened attentively.

"First, matters related to "Love What I Love"; second, my cooperation with Huang Bo, this can be approved until next year, similar to Hu Ge; third, in the second half of the year, you will transfer a crew, and I and the three people of the company, as well as Huang Bo, Zhou Xun, and Sun Honglei plan to play one. Gan Jing said very simply.

The first thing is okay, what about the last two things?

Lao Chen on the screen looked dazed, when did he hook up with Huang Bo? Didn't he just communicate two days ago? I slept for two days, but two years later?

"That...... This ......" Lao Chen was a little shocked and inexplicable, and his speech became slurred.

Gan Jing only then remembered the two movies that he had just decided, and said directly: "I think it's very interesting, you can give it a try, the investment doesn't need to be too big, several people will pay for it, and you should pay attention to the script." ”

Lao Chen is really speechless, he doesn't even have a script when he co-authored this, is it decided with a pat on the head?

After a long time, he reluctantly replied: "I will set up two project teams in the company, do you have a name for the project?"

"It's Plan A and Plan B, the name doesn't matter. Gan Jing replied casually.

Lao Chen nodded, put this thing that caught him off guard and obviously increased the workload, and continued to report some of the internal progress of Bairihong, the company has gone through two rounds of recruitment, both recent graduates and the backbone of other film and television companies, which can be described as thriving.

Gan Jing listened with "uh-huh", not completely distracted to reply to mobile phone messages, and occasionally communicated with him about his doubts or interests.

In the early hours of the morning, Lao Chen's mouth was dry, and Gan Jing was a little tired from listening.

"That's pretty much it, I'll contact you at any time if there's something new, and if you want to set up a company together in the United States, you'll need to be there in the end. Lao Chen reminded him, for fear that Forrest Gump would not be able to get out of the crew.

"No problem. Gan Jing agreed, this is all his own business.

The long video conference ended, and Gan Jing completed some of his job responsibilities as the chairman of the film and television company.

In the early hours of the morning, Zhou Dongyu had already returned to the city, and the staff at the previous dinner party had also cleaned up the villa and evacuated, and there were only one person and one dog left in the huge space.

Gan Jing still got off his phone, yawned, and walked to the courtyard.

The air in the capital is surprisingly good tonight, and when you look up at the sky, you can see a lot of stars shining.

- Two-legged beast, I remember one thing, when the two-legged beast kissed you at night, another two-legged beast saw it, and it was the ugly two-legged beast.

Gan Jing was a little puzzled, not sure if the dog's aesthetics were the same as his own, and said suspiciously: "Which one is ugly?"

- It's the one who talks to you all the time, the one who is not as tall as you.

Well, okay, the golden retriever should have said Huang Bo, but he didn't see it during the day.

Gan Jing didn't take this matter very seriously, but he was a little strange about the recent changes in the dog: "Why are you so gossip recently...... Uh, that's what keeps an eye on other people's movements?"

- If you don't let me play games, then I'll have to find some other fun in my boring and monotonous life, and it's interesting to see the life of you two-legged beasts.

The dog will be very energetic, talking in a circle around Forrest Gump.

"I think one day you're going to really be fine. Gan Jing raised his head and pointed to the moon in the sky that had just emerged from behind the clouds, "Let me tell you a secret, when you don't have to go into the room to sleep, just absorb the moon essence to the sky, and you will become smarter." ”

- Really?

Gan Jing's face was full of seriousness: "Of course it's true." ”

With that, he turned and went into the living room, leaving a dog squatting in the courtyard and meditating at the sky.

……

At the end of June, Luc, the director of "Love What I Love", handed over the third officially edited version to four investors.

This version is actually not a version that is cut out according to his own heart as Luc said before when he was angry, after all, he still has to consider Forrest Gump, who has a lot of power, and obviously has expectations for the world's second largest box office market because of Chinese elements.

In other words, this version is quite satisfactory to Forrest Gump.

On the contrary, Fox was quite complaining, feeling that this version might not win the love of American audiences, but at this point, Luc's exercise of the director's first cut rights ended.

The next editing will be jointly considered by the two giants of Hollywood, and at the same time, the film version will be screened in California by representatives of different levels to evaluate the box office potential of the film and then further revamp it.

It's a bit like Forrest Gump's dinner when he invited his peers, but this kind of screening is very formal and relies on all kinds of rigorous data.

After enjoying the latest version, Gan Jing still called Luc to express his gratitude to him, although there was a little unpleasantness in the editing after the finale, but the relationship between the two parties was still good when they were in the crew before.

If he can, he will go all out to push this version to be released in theaters as the final version, at least, the domestic market should be fine.

At this point, there was no problem with the skeleton of the film's edited version, and the release schedule was pushed forward quickly, and finally, after several agreements, everyone agreed that the film would be put on the Christmas file.

This is not a stressful schedule for China, but for foreign countries, the Christmas schedule is worth fighting.

The reason why Fox and Paramount finalized this schedule is that Warner wants to use "Super Hacker" to snipe and hype, and conversely, "Love What I Love" can do the same.

Hyping up this kind of thing has always been two-sided.

At the box office, you still have to see the real chapter under your hands, just to see who harvests whom.

Gan Jing had no objection to this, the first thing he did after determining the schedule was to notify Huang Bo, and then the person decisively said that he would change the release time of his movie.

Later, he also announced the news on Weibo and official website.

- If the movie I starred in is not good, then I will have to go back to being a director. Hey, it's so stressful. Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
