The news that a big-budget movie from Hollywood needs a heroine was the first to know about Bairihong, and then it spread throughout the Chinese film and television circle.

First of all, the production cost plus the publicity and distribution are calculated together with an amount of 250 million US dollars, which is definitely a huge production even in Hollywood.

Secondly, the title "Mulan" is undoubtedly a movie with a big heroine.

Just these two points are enough for actresses in the film and television industry to get moved, and regardless of the size of the coffee seat.

The protagonist of a big-budget movie is enough to make an actor popular or bring an actor back to the peak, to give a very recent example, Zhang Ziyi's role as Gong Er in "The Grandmaster" made her successfully get rid of a lot of negative news, and re-made the audience realize "Wow, this actress's acting skills are so good".

Now, "Mulan", which is obviously for the Chinese market, may be a work of such specifications.

If the box office is not good after the release, the actor can send a press release to bring himself out alone, but there has been a large-scale publicity that is necessary for the release before.

If the box office is average after its release, it can be said to be an attempt to combine Chinese and Western, and both the film and the actors have merit.

As for the hot release, if a film with a big heroine can sell well, who else can be the biggest hero?

Such a film can have various angles for the actress to play individually, in addition, the resources of the management will also work for the common good to shape the image of the actor and the character.

Gan Jing's first reaction after getting angry with Lao Chen and further confirming it was to use the actress of his own company, and the most popular at the moment is of course Zhou Dongyu, but after serious thinking about brain supplementation, Gan Jing couldn't imagine Comrade Xiao Zhou's face as Mulan who served in the army for his father.

This sense of dislocation in the image is considerable.

However, Gan Jing still called Zhou Dongyu first and asked her what she thought - this kind of inquiry was after confessing his opinion, and the two of them naturally had nothing to be polite and tactful about this.

If Zhou Dongyu insists on giving it a try, then Gan Jing will help her fight for it, and if she doesn't want to, then consider the script of the follow-up film contract.

As a result, the slightly unexpected and somewhat reasonable answer is that she has no ideas, except for Uncle Gan's analysis, she herself feels that this role is not very suitable.

In this way, Gan Jing immediately considered other people in the company, including the freshmen of Chinese opera in the past two years, which he had an impression of, and there were two who were a little competitive on their faces, but considering other factors, the probability was very small.

Gan Jing asked the company to prepare detailed information, and provided Disney as a casting reference, he felt that according to Disney's urine, it was difficult to choose a newcomer for such a movie, and the easiest way for a movie intended to be in the Chinese market must be to choose an actress with a relatively high national popularity.

Boss Bairi Red is such an idea and attitude, and some of the commotion in the company because of the casting has gradually subsided, anyway, as it was said above, the list of people who are willing to participate in the competition will be reported over, and there will be no deep involvement in this matter.

However, just as Hundred Days began to evaluate the feasibility of participating in the investment and production of "Mulan" step by step, people outside began to focus on Forrest Gump.

Hollywood?

Involved?

Zhou Dongyu doesn't compete?

Then, Forrest Gump has an appointment.

The first person to come to the door was Tang Wei, speaking of which, she can be regarded as an actress who became an instant hit with a big production, and she deeply knows what such a movie means, and thanks to the previous filming of "Beijing Meets Seattle", she has a good relationship with Forrest Gump, so she directly asked for dinner.

When Gan Jing received this call, he was discussing the script with Liang Chaowei in the villa, and his wife Liu Jialing, Wang Fei, Jing Gangshan, and Hu Ge were also there.

Well, Liu Jialing came to the capital with Liang Chaowei, and then seeing that Liang Chaowei was actually going to talk about the script with Forrest Gump, she quickly formed a mahjong game, Wang Fei is her consistent card friend, Jinggangshan is Wang Fei's good friend, as for Hu Ge, it is because Liu Jialing's other card friends are not available, so Gan Jing shouted in his company's WeChat group...... In the end, it was Hugo who came out.

People are in good spirits at happy events, and Hu Ge's billion-dollar box office results are also like a big kill possessed by the God of Wealth on the mahjong table, which made Liu Jialing exclaim, he should have called Huang Bo to come over before.

Tang Wei was invited by Forrest Gump in this situation, and when she stepped into the villa, the first sound she heard was the sound of rubbing mahjong, and then she recognized the people by the pool.

"Sister Jialing, Brother Chaowei, Sister Fei, Brother Hu, Brother Gan, who is this senior?" Tang Wei didn't know Jinggangshan.

"This is Brother Jinggangshan, anyway, looking at this face, it's right to call Brother Brother. Gan Jing has been familiar with it for a few days, and he directly introduced it.

Tang Wei shouted "Brother Jing", in exchange for Jing Gangshan's smiling response.

Gan Jing told her on WeChat before she came that she was going to eat with friends at night, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, but, looking at Tang Wei's expression, there was no misunderstanding, and there were a lot of surprises.

In this villa, actors, divas, actresses, seniors, and popular actors are quite chaotic, and the coffee seats are not small.

Tang Wei thought about the purpose of this trip, and he was a little worried in his heart, and he didn't know how to talk.

Fortunately, Gan Jing knew what she was here for, and after Tang Wei played two rounds of mahjong with Liu Jialing, he beckoned him to the side.

"I'll pinch my fingers, this "Mulan" has a lot of competition, I haven't even seen its script here, you look for me...... Well, I didn't know the doorway. Gan Jing didn't go around in circles, and directly opened his mouth to find out the matter.

Tang Wei was a little embarrassed, raised his hand and brushed his long hair, and said: "As soon as I knew that Bairihong was going to invest, I wanted to ask about Brother Gan's role, I felt that I was quite suitable, so I visited with confidence." ”

Gan Jing thought about Tang Wei's appearance of wearing armor to kill the enemy, well, it is a little mismatched, but maybe he can deduce another flavor of Mulan?

He didn't say anything: "I now know that Disney's director uses a small director, and I will recommend it when they arrive in China, but do you have any consideration for your appearance? ”

"I've been thinking about that. Tang Wei's posture was very low, "Does Brother Gan have any good suggestions?"

Gan Jing scratched his head, he didn't study much because he didn't pay much attention to "Mulan", but now it doesn't seem good to say it directly.

"In this way, after you go back, you will set your own makeup for Mulan, and I will see what it looks like, and Bairihong is basically sure that he will participate in part of the investment, which can be regarded as the first review of me as an investor." How's that?" Gan Jing gave the truth.

Disney filmed this "Mulan" to shoot in China, and the current news is that it is possible to choose the Huangpi District in Mulan's hometown, and the filming location that is expected to cost a lot of money is also developed in cooperation with the local government.

On the one hand, this will create a tourist spot for the local area, and on the other hand, Disney's diversion of funds will further reduce the risk.

In the past, Huayi in China liked to play film and television real estate, and Disney's approach has the same meaning, making money is not necessarily at the box office, but may be outside the play.

Tang Wei didn't think that he would let Forrest Gump give the role in one bite, not to mention that Disney has the majority, but Forrest Gump alone, he is not the kind of rash person.

"Okay, I'll go back and think about the role positioning. Tang Wei showed a smile, "Thank you, Brother Gan." ”

"It didn't help much. ”

Gan Jing pondered the configuration of Disney after sending Tang Wei away, if the director chooses a small director, the big heroine needs someone who can carry the box office.

How many actresses in China can confidently say that they can carry the box office?

The moonlight on the villa is beautiful, and the mahjong is playing next to the pool, Gan Jing is seriously thinking about this unplanned big production in such an environment, will it have any impact on the Asia A plan? If he participates in the investment, then he will definitely not snipe at that time.

Instead, you have to figure out how to make money.

"Are you going to invest in this film "Mulan"? I don't think it's going to make money. Liang Chaowei came over, and he didn't talk as little in front of his friends as people imagined.

"Making money is one thing, but I'm also thinking about other factors. Gan Jing smiled, "After all, it's not just an actor, you have to consider the company's problems." You know the last time I made a "Pdana"? Even if it was a swap with Paramount, I think I made a lot of money, and a lot of data in the Asian market is very precious. They didn't take it seriously, and there was a big gush of whooping red when they took it. ”

"So what can you get from Disney?" Leung Chaowei was intrigued.

Gan Jing stretched out a finger: "Their animated film is very powerful, it would be great if we could take this opportunity to reach some cooperation, this is a field that Bairihong has never been involved in, we are just younger brothers." In addition, Disney Resort, hey, the resort I have here is also a competitor, but if it is operated properly, it may not be impossible to cooperate. ”

Liang Chaowei listened to this friend's eloquent conversation, was silent for a while, and said sincerely: "Jia Ling must like to listen to these things, you can communicate later." ”

Gan Jing laughed: "Really, then I have to consult Sister Jialing." ”

Liang Chaowei shook his head and said seriously: "No, it was she who asked you the chairman of the film and television company." ”

Gan Jing was just about to answer, but his mobile phone rang.

Well, a call from Zhang Ziyi.

Liang Chaowei also saw the name, showed a smile, and whispered before the movie was connected: "She made this call a little late." ”

"I think it's just right. ”

Gan Jing pressed the phone and said kindly: "Hi, Sister Ziyi." ”

"Forrest Gump, congratulations to "Tongtian" for breaking 1.2 billion today, I couldn't come back in the United States before, otherwise I must have to attend the celebration banquet. Zhang Ziyi said congratulations first.

"Thank you, thank you, I received it. Gan Jingle said that the box office of this mythical movie is even more dazzling than the previous one, which is indeed a very pleasant thing.

Zhang Ziyi continued to say a few words of greeting, and turned to the topic: "I heard that Bairihong and Disney are going to cooperate in filming "Mulan", I am very interested in this role, I just returned to the capital today, Forrest Gump, when do you have time, how about we have dinner and talk about this role?"

Compared with Tang Wei's attitude, Zhang Ziyi's self-confidence is a little stronger, and her international popularity is one of the best in China.

Gan Jing's face was a little strange, but he said sincerely: "Sister Ziyi, why don't you come to my side, you can also play a few rounds of mahjong with Sister Jialing." ”

Zhang Ziyi, who was on the phone, was a little surprised when she heard Carina Lau, and after learning about it, she agreed that she would bring her husband, who is also the music world, to visit.

Gan Jing chatted for a while, hung up the phone, and smiled at Liang Chaowei, who seemed to be in a daze: "I want a powerful faction, I don't know how my mahjong skills are." ”

Zhang Ziyi is quite suitable for this role, her fighting qualities are actually somewhat consistent with Mulan. Liang Chaowei commented lightly.

Gan Jing shrugged: "Everyone is so enthusiastic, it seems that someone has to look for me in the back." ”

As soon as the voice fell, the mobile phone rang again, this time it was Liu Yifei.

Liang Chaowei couldn't help laughing: "It's really busy." ”

Gan Jing nodded, coughed and cleared his throat: "Hey, Liu Yifei, do you play mahjong?"

Liu Yifei didn't have time to speak, but Forrest Gump was caught off guard, and said blankly: "What, Brother Gan?

"Do you play mahjong?" Gan Jing repeated, silently calculated the time and said, "Do you have time the day after tomorrow?" Come to me to play mahjong with Sister Jialing, she has won with me for several days. ”

"Ah, ah, good. Liu Yifei may be the most confused one in several phone calls, and she answered in a daze, and hung up the phone without saying anything serious.

Gan Jing put away his mobile phone, sat cross-legged, and said: "Liu Yifei's image is also good, but it gives people the impression that it is a little too fairy, and Mulan is going to sink to the ground." ”

Liang Chaowei looked at Forrest Gump's mobile phone and guessed, "You have to have a phone tonight, right?"

"Almost. ”

Soon, the conversation between the two people completely entered a state of intermittentness, and all the actresses in Huaxia who could call the number were calling at different times on this number.

Liang Chaowei didn't think the dialogue was inefficient, he just watched a number and name comment on an actress next to him, and he was very serious.

"My brother, let's not talk about these actresses, I would strongly recommend that Disney hire you as a producer, you are really a loss as a producer. ”

Liang Chaowei smiled slightly, and a strong natural temperament was revealed.

Buzz, the phone doesn't know how many times it vibrate.

Liang Chaowei saw the name this time and said, "Hmm, the potatoes came over." ”

Gan Jing couldn't hold back all of a sudden, burst out laughing, and was a little speechless about his black belly.

"Hey, soil, cough, that, Yang Ying, oh, movie, um, um, there's such a thing. I think about it, I think about it, do you have time in a week?"

"No, it's not an audition, it's going to play mahjong. ”
