At the Paramount meeting, before the director and vice president could speak, Gan Jing sat down and spoke first in a hoarse voice.

He has an uncomfortable throat today, his body doesn't feel good, he doesn't want to listen to the lengthy meeting process, if it weren't for the strong request from Paramount, he even just wants to wait for a result.

However, the reality is that the heavyweight teammates in the promotional lineup cannot be absent.

"Forrest Gump, what's wrong with your throat? Don't worry, our meeting today is to summarize the situation, and the follow-up situation needs to be submitted little by little. Parker, the director of film and television, explained.

Gan Jing was a little helpless, listening to this meaning, there are still various processes.

Parker explained: "At present, we have started to run in various media to see the reaction of different aspects, and these effects will take time to brew, and some places will need your cooperation. ”

There is no way, you have to do this to eat this bowl of rice, Gan Jing nodded a little hesitantly.

The meeting was back on track.

When a company's hierarchical structure is large enough, then its meetings are mostly redundant enough, Gan Jing did not like this situation when he was in his own company in China, and after reading a few management books in a limited time, he especially advocated flat management.

Surprisingly, the effect seems to be pretty good.

Gan Jing sat on the right seat of the conference table, quietly listening to Paramount's reports and analyses on the layer, which were the latest feedback and the basis for the next decision.

"At present, the audience's evaluation of our film is still relatively high. ”

Two and a half hours later, Parker summed it up satisfactorily.

Gan Jing noticed that the director seemed to be glancing at him.

"We didn't expect too much from the box office, but now it looks like it's going to be a good idea, with $11 million on the first day. This is thanks to Forrest Gump's charisma. ”

The cost of "Padana" is 20 million, and it can generally reach 60 million at the box office, and now the first-day box office performance is trending, and there is no problem with making a profit.

Gan Jing nodded and smiled.

"The next step is two to three days to do the survey, what do you think of Spotlight compared to Padana after we officially release it? The sample will try to match the parameters of the Oscar judges, and by this week, we need to make a final decision on which award to compete for. Parker said solemnly.

Then, he looked at Forrest Gump and smiled: "In the three days of doing the survey, Forrest Gump will be on the stage of some shows to release some signals, and we will collect feedback in this regard." ”

The Oscar competition is sometimes like a game, and charging krypton gold can increase the explosion rate, but the cost of this game is tens of millions of dollars, so everyone needs to think carefully when pressing the recharge button.

Gan Jing doesn't have any opinions, he came here to do this job.

The high-level meeting dispersed, Parker and Forrest Gump stayed alone, and he also needed to communicate the schedule of future activities, for example, whether Forrest Gump wanted to participate in the male host's show first or the female host's show first......

Gan Jing combed through the program list with a little resignation, and took back a pile of scripts on the program, which Paramount had prepared before the movie was released.

From this point of view, Paramount is still the kind that does not fight unprepared battles.

In the next three days, Forrest Gump began to appear in major influential programs in the United States, which were pushed out by Paramount with resources.

Of course, this is a good thing for Forrest Gump himself, which can increase his exposure, but with the change of his own positioning, this benefit is limited.

At present, Gan Jing's positioning in Hollywood is relatively simple, one is an actor-level actor, and the other is that he has enough market appeal, which is obviously different from the traffic stars that have slowly risen in recent years.

The former does not need to maintain exposure all the time, while the latter is indispensable to the heat.

This is one of the reasons why Gan Jing has the confidence to shift his focus to Asia, and his personal career may be weakened, but it is still easy to distinguish between the loss and the gain.

On the show, showing a smile, talking about words, talking about awards, and talking about works, Gan Jing did his best to do his best, and he can be regarded as taking these opportunities to comfort his fans in the United States.

However, the audience who watched the show will not know that Forrest Gump, who is normal on the stage, has taken a closed injection in order to keep his voice smooth, which is the state that can maintain the completion of the show.

After three days of intensive activities, Gan Jing maintained the frequency of attending the two sessions once a day, and listened to Paramount's investigation progress in an all-round way.

Finally, finally, he waited for this last day, and the expressions of the top Parate executives were heavy and depressed.

At this time, Gan Jing didn't try to take the initiative in the meeting, he had been waiting for a week, and it was not bad for a while.

The meeting was not tedious, and there was no such enthusiastic debriefing as the first time, but Parker still valued Forrest Gump's opinion, and he knew and admired Forrest Gump's efforts these days - this is professionalism.

"I think we should listen to your publicity department more about the change of goals, they are professional. Gan Jing's voice was low and hoarse, and after he finished recording the show, he no longer took the closed injection, but let his throat slowly recover, "But I think the previous preparations can still be continued, so that everyone knows that our goal is to aim for the Oscar for Best Picture." ”

"After the buzz, we announced that we were willing to switch to the documentary because of the profound subject matter reflected in the Spotlight film. Gan Jing lightly emphasized, "It's our willingness, not that we can't compete, and it's humility, not concession." ”

Parker thought for a few seconds, nodded, and praised, "Wonderful oriental culture." "Americans don't pay much attention to humility, but it's not that they don't understand this attitude.

Gan Jing took a sip of tea to moisten his throat: "That's all for my opinion, I respect Paramount's strategic decision." ”

Once the Hollywood film and television giants exert their strength, the power it can show is very huge, and the research and research it can make is also incomparable to what Andy has done before, and at this point, they know very well that the collision between "Padana" and "Spotlight" is an accident, and they will be the one who is seriously damaged.

Parker didn't announce Paramount's decision on the spot, but made it clear to Forrest Gump after the meeting, who was emotionally stable.

If Gan Jing still stays in the United States for more than a month according to the arrangement of competing for best film, but if he turns to the competition for best documentary, Gan Jing can now return to China.

At the beginning of next year, he will come to the United States again to brush up on the movie.

However, when Gan Jing bought the return flight ticket, he swiped the domestic news.

- "Forrest Gump will hit his second Oscar"

- "The Second Best Actor, Forrest Gump Phenomenon of the Oscars"

"Hmm...... That's a kill, right...... There is still half a year before the Oscars, why does the domestic media look like I have already won the little golden man?"

Gan Jing was a little helpless, compared to this kind of report, he would actually prefer to see the news that Bairihong and Youku negotiated an exclusive online broadcast of "Sage Lich".
