Chapter 545: Old Bao
What is the most important thing about asking someone to do something?
One is money, the other is face.
Bao Dexi, if calculated according to the coffee position in the film and television industry, he is a first-line celebrity among photographers, and once won the Oscar for best cinematography with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in 01.
Gan Jing didn't know the photography circle in detail before, and the list of names on the list was only general, and Hong Kong photography was subconsciously classified by him as An Le and didn't want to consider it for the time being, but now that such a circle is down, it is not easy to find top photography in the mainland, so you need to consider Hong Kong and Taiwan.
It just so happens that Hao Rong has this relationship, so it's okay to push the boat.
After making sure that Hao Rong had said hello to him, Gan Jing said to Tsui Hark, Ang Lee, and An Le again, asking them to say something.
In the end, he called Bao Dexi himself.
"Teacher Bao, I'm Forrest Gump. Gan Jing's phone call was polite enough.
"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Gan. Bao Dexi's voice on the phone sounded a little funny, and the first sentence was actually to address the teacher.
Gan Jing was a little embarrassed, this Teacher Bao was born in the sixties, he can be called a grandfather in terms of age, and he has dozens of works in his hands, how can he be called a teacher in front of him.
"Mr. Bao, I have a script here that is very interesting, and I would like to ask you for some advice. Gan Jing's posture was very positive, and he didn't have the attitude he had towards Tang Wei's agent before.
"Ang Lee, Tsui Hark, Hao Rong, and Wang Qiang all called me before. You've got a big lineup of lobbyists. Bao Dexi was a little playful, "It seems that you, the Oscar actor, have to force me out of the mountain." Very good, but how can I guide you when you're not in front of me?"
“OK。 Gan Jing hung up the phone with a short word.
Bao Dexi on the other end was really a little angry at this moment, this actor is too arrogant, right?
Hey, now it's Ang Lee, Tsui Hark, Hao Rong, and Wang Qiang standing in front of me and asking me to help him, and I won't help him.
That evening, eight o'clock, Hong Kong.
Bao Dexi's phone rang again, he was drinking tea with a friend, and he hung up after looking at the number, but the phone rang one after another, extremely tenacious.
"Who called?" the old friend sitting opposite couldn't look at it, "just turn it off." ”
Bao Dexi was a stubborn donkey, but he answered the phone when it came again, but before he could speak, the voice from inside shocked him.
- "Mr. Bao, I have flown from Beijing to Hong Kong, where do you live? ”
Bao Dexi was a little stunned and said where he was drinking tea, and then hung up the phone.
"Who's calling? Look at you. The old friend drank tea leisurely and teased Bao Dexi.
"Hey, the Oscar-winning actor flew over from the capital to invite me. Bao Dexi snorted, "Look at what I am? I can make the only Oscar winner in China fly over." What about you? Your TV station can have problems producing a TV series. His friend is none other than TVB's senior Yu Guohua.
Yu Guohua's eyes flashed, and he asked: "Who, Oscar-winning actor, Forrest Gump, Gan Jing, will he come specifically to you, an old immortal?"
Bao Dexi blew his nose and glared: "What's wrong with me? He is an Oscar winner, and I am the Oscar Best Cinematography, a level." Why can't he come to see me?"
Yu Guohua was still a little skeptical: "He is attending an event in Hong Kong, so he came to see you by the way, right?"
Saying this, Bao Dexi also muttered a little in his heart, but said disdainfully on his face: "Impossible." ”
But no matter what the two of them thought in their hearts, Gan Jing soon appeared in front of them - of course, this kind of fastness is relative to flying from the capital to Hong Kong.
"Hello, hello, Mr. Bao. As soon as they met, Gan Jing shook his hands, turned his head to see the other person at the table who was looking at him with wide eyes, and asked, "Who is this?"
Bao Dexi nodded lightly, but his heart was refreshed, he said "um", and said, "This is Yu Guohua." It's Forrest Gump, huh?"
"Ahh Gan Jing nodded again and again and sat down across from him.
"Why don't you take off your sunglasses?" Bao Dexi was addicted.
"Ahem. Gan Jing touched the edge of his sunglasses, "I'm afraid that if I take off my sunglasses, it will be difficult for everyone to drink tea together." Well, it's rude to wear sunglasses, so let's move to the side against the wall, shall we?"
Bao Dexi glanced at his old friend Yu Guohua proudly, and slowly got up to agree.
The three of them changed their seats again, and when they reached an inconspicuous corner, the tea was also changed.
Gan Jing took off his sunglasses, put his backpack on the side of the chair, and smiled kindly.
Yu Guohua finally determined that it was not Bao Dexi, who had always jumped out, who was playing tricks on himself, but Forrest Gump really came from the capital to see him, but he still asked: "Forrest Gump, I am Yu Guohua of TVB." It's a pleasure to meet you, did you come to Hong Kong to negotiate a script with Anle Films?"
Now Forrest Gump will be in the film "Beijing Meets Seattle", which has been heard in the circle.
"No, I'm here to see Mr. Bao. Gan Jing shook his head and took out the script from his backpack sideways, "Mr. Bao, this is the script I invested here, I think it's quite interesting to watch." However, because I don't have enough studio experience, I have to ask my seniors for advice. ”
This time the noodles are very sufficient.
During the day, he was still talking in the capital, and at night he flew to the Hong Kong teahouse to chat, and between the words, he presented the script with both hands and asked for guidance, what else could he ask for? How about asking for a young Oscar actor?
What's more, this is still in front of his friends!
Eh, double cool!
Bao Dexi didn't expect Forrest Gump to be able to do this, shook his head with a smile and nodded, took the script and said without even flipping it: "Needless to say, I took this script." ”
Gan Jing's eyes widened slightly.
"I, Bao Dexi, am not an uninteresting person, I believe in your vision. "Bao Dexi is a person who came from the old era of Hong Kong, and he still has a kind of Jianghu style - you respect me, I respect you.
Gan Jing's joy was overflowing, and he smiled: "Then thank you Lao Bao." ”
Bao Dexi narrowed his eyes.
"Hehe, I think Mr. Bao is a good person to get along with, I call him Lao Chen, and I call him Lao Hao at Hao Rong. Teacher Bao doesn't mind if I call you that, right?" Gan Jing explained.
"Then you call Wang Qiang and call Lao Wang?" Bao Dexi remembered that Wang Qiang from Anle Video had called him.
"Well, it's generally Mr. Wang. Gan Jing said with a smile, paused, and added leisurely, "Occasionally call him Ah Qiang." ”
Bao Dexi almost choked on the tea, and his heart quickly became satisfied, compared to the title of "Ah Qiang", Lao Bao sounded good.
Look, Forrest Gump still respects himself very much.
