Chapter 717: Unification

Paramount intends to join forces with Forrest Gump to hit a wave of Oscars, which is a big deal.

After Gan Jing got the letter of intent, he immediately held a small meeting, including people from the United States and high-level officials from Bairihong's side, first of all, to unify internal opinions.

What to shoot, how to shoot, and what to focus on?

At present, the direction given by Paramount is to put it on the inside story of taxation in the film and television industry, which is a theme that has not yet won awards in the history of the previous Oscars, but the core is similar, works like this kind of "Twelve Years a Slave" and "Django Delivered" are all for the taste of the Oscar judges.

The famous Weinstein Company in Hollywood is the best at grasping the direction of the Oscars, and the founder Harvey is known as the promoter of the Oscars, and what he does is to cater to the ideas of the judges.

Now Paramount is going to do the same.

However, in the case of having already won an Oscar, Gan Jing's impact on the award is not so urgent, he still has a long time, and if he meets a right work, it is likely to appear in the Oscar list.

However, Paramount proposed to cooperate without giving the script a situation, which is not only to show the emotional will of the other party, but also to show that Forrest Gump will have the greatest right to speak, which is the most attractive to him.

"There is plenty of time, and next year's Oscar will definitely not be impacted, so we can only target 16 years. Gan Jing counted the time, "But this kind of theme is a bit offensive, if you want to shoot it, you can't get the box office, whether it's the inside story of the United States or ours, you can't use examples, you can only use a pseudonym." ”

Lao Chen said: "Even if it is a pseudonym, if it is taken by the right number, it will offend people to death." ”

Everyone in the room nodded.

"Definitely. Gan Jing nodded, there was a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he didn't catch it.

"But Paramount doesn't really care what he shoots, as long as it can hit the Oscars. Gan Jing pointed out the most important point, "The direction they provided was that they felt that the success rate was relatively high, and if the filming was successful, at least they could get a nomination." ”

"Is this okay?" said Chen.

Gan Jing glanced at him: "Although a giant is a giant, you don't need to look up too much, well, Paramount in the past two years is not a boom." ”

The high-level meeting ended, and the people on both sides went about their own business.

Everyone is not very optimistic about the possible reaction to this theme, but they all feel that it is okay to shoot a movie that will win the award, that is to say, the basic opinions are unified, and they only see the consultation with Paramount.

So far, the dividends of "Love What I Love" are still being harvested, as long as there is an intention to cooperate.

Gan Jing himself has some consideration for the influence of the subject matter, but it is more about thinking about the entry point, such as the identity of the protagonist can be a prosecutor, an economic investigation and other settings.

This is not urgent, it requires a lot of thought and preparation.

At the end of December, the box office of "Love What I Love" in the first month came out, with a box office of 790 million Chinese dollars in China, $385 million in North America, and a total of $130 million in European countries, plus the box office in Japan and South Korea and other countries, the total global box office this month was $650 million.

Even at the claimed cost of $200 million, it is starting to make a profit.

This film is already worthy of investors, actors, grand premieres, and Forrest Gump's golden signboard.

The congratulations from all parties are endless, and there are many new cooperation intentions, which is a benefit brought by influence.

Gan Jing spent the New Year's Day of 2015 in such a busy phone call.

Gregorian New Year, he didn't have much emotion, the company didn't have time to relax, many employees or actively or passively began to work overtime, whether it is the domestic New Year's Day holiday or foreign attention to such days, the work of film and television companies is indispensable.

Everyone hopes to use this time to make the box office rise against the trend, holidays or something, and there will naturally be it during the Lunar New Year.

The New Year's Day holiday passed in a hurry, and Gan Jing continued to fall into repetitive and unfresh work, which was a bit torturous for him, but whether it was the statistical communication of various foreign box offices or the cooperation and selection of the company's new projects, he needed to check it.

Finally...... On the 10th of January, he had a slightly fresher affair.

There is a café with a very particular layout next to Bairihong Film and Television Company, and many employees will come here to drink coffee after work.

"Hello, Mr. Li, you don't need to introduce it, sit, sit. Gan Jing had already seen today's photo of Li Juan in advance, did not recognize the wrong person, gave a smile and said hello.

"It's not like a café, it's a bit like a teahouse. Li Juan was born in PricewaterhouseCoopers, one of the world's four largest accounting firms, and she used to be a partner of the Beijing Law Firm, with both qualifications and capabilities.

Gan Jing said without changing his face: "Lao Chen made a phone call, and the layout was changed in advance. ”

Li Juan was stunned, she also wondered how the screen of this café could be a little mismatched.

This table not only has Gan Jing, Lao Chen, Li Juan, but also an artist who is about to join, Di Lieba from Urumqi.

In fact, today's conversation only seems to know the general meaning, Gan Jing knows that this Li Juan should be determined to change jobs, otherwise he would not bring Reba with him.

"I'm very optimistic about Reba's child, even if I didn't join Bairi Hong today, I also hope that she can have a better development on your side. Li Juan's eyes were blazing, and her posture came out first.

Gan Jing only knew what Lao Chen was talking to about this person, but this trip was to give him confidence.

"Well, we are also very optimistic, otherwise we won't ask for someone, or I called Yang Mi, and she was willing to let her go. Gan Jing smiled and nodded at Reba, who was looking at him.

Di Lieba was a little restrained, but knew that he should speak: "I will try." ”

Gan Jing nodded again and said with a smile: "Compared with Reba, we also value Mr. Li, what Lao Chen said here represents my meaning, please rest assured." To tell the truth, the company structure of Bairi Red is a bit chaotic, but everyone's autonomy is quite high. ”

As long as you have the ability, the rights given will not be easily withdrawn, which is the status quo of Bairihong Company.

"Hmm. Li Juan didn't say much, and her expression seemed very calm.

Gan Jing stirred the coffee in the cup and continued: "In the entire system on my side, Zhou Pu is responsible for the capital management other than Bairihong, and after you come, you will be responsible for the internal capital operation and construction of Bairihong. ”

Li Juan's eyes were blazing, Forrest Gump was the biggest reason why she wanted to come over, she wanted to see what kind of scene could be created around a star in Yang Mi's side, but now, the first person in the same industry in China is in front of her, and the degree of temptation is completely different.

She looked at Forrest Gump in front of her, as if she saw a fragrant ...... Big pig's trotters.
