Chapter 109: Akita Inu Eight Thousand
The investment of the crew of "The Hangover", Gan Jing signed a contract agreement.
When the director called him, he was especially eager, and he couldn't wait to appear in front of Gan Jing in the next second, and a series of affairs such as scripts and contracts were handled very quickly.
The conditions given in the contract agreement are also quite favorable, Gan Jing didn't see any pits in it when he took it to consult others, and there is one of them, if the sequel to the "hangover" series is filmed, Mr. Gan Jing has the right of priority investment.
Gan Jing's investment is relatively sloppy, but this sloppiness is based on a good script, a good attitude and good conditions.
Sitting in the car to the hotel, Gan Jing heard the bad news that Fat George told him, and his face slowly faded.
"What? Is this going to cross the river and tear down the bridge?" Gan Jing's tone was relatively calm, but the content of his words was quite sharp.
This tone and choice of words were in stark contrast, and George didn't react at once.
After a while, he hesitated and said, "Forrest Gump, are you angry?"
"No, I'm not angry. Gan Jing said, "I'm angry. ”
"Uh......" Fat George fell silent.
The car continued to drive in the direction of the hotel, and Gan Jing was thinking about how to deal with this matter.
To be honest, because of the existence of the contract agreement, he didn't think much about the other party's breach of contract before, but now because of the good screening effect, it was indeed a little caught off guard that such a show suddenly came.
"Forrest Gump, I think you may have misunderstood. Fat George organized the language in his heart for a while, "Film and television companies like Legendary Pictures are used to taking the initiative into their own hands. This time you were let in by accident, but you're not the biggest investor, and if there's a sequel, they'll definitely take it back. ”
"It's just that the company will compensate. Fat George observed Gan Jing's face from the rearview mirror, and continued, "Personally, just from my George's personal point of view, it is very valuable to exchange a priority for the friendship of a film and television company. ”
Compensating for friendship?
Gan Jing turned his mind in his heart, thinking of the previous move of Legendary Pictures to Huaxia, and only after a while did he say lightly: "Let's look at the box office this time first, if they lose, they must run faster than anyone else for investment." ”
This sentence is sarcasm, and Fat George understands it, so he can only respond with a smile.
The reality is like this, there are interests that naturally swarm up, or even monopolize a large share, and if the tree falls, it is scattered.
The two arrived at the hotel, the Hilton of Los Angeles.
"Hey, I'm really close to Hilton. Gan Jing sighed when he got out of the car and entered the hotel.
Fat George's eyes were a little puzzled, but he didn't get Gan Jing's explanation, knowing that he probably still had anger in his heart, so he could only resolve it with a smiling expression.
"Forrest Gump, your presidential suite. After checking in, George returned the room card and ID to Gan Jing.
"Hmph. ”
Arrived in Los Angeles as an investor, and Legendary Pictures gave me good treatment in this regard - when I was in the capital before, Gan Jing always lived in the most ordinary room in the Hilton.
"Rest well, reverse jet lag, and attend the premiere tomorrow. Fat George instructed, explained all kinds of precautions again, and agreed to come over tomorrow to pick up Gan Jing.
Slowly got rid of the emotions in his heart, Gan Jing is actually very grateful to Fat George, this guy is not from Legendary Pictures, why should he send his grievances to him?
On this night, the possible bad news did not make it difficult for Gan Jing to sleep, on the contrary, he slept soundly, and in his dream he also dreamed of the dog's golden retriever - he was complaining about why he didn't bring it to the premiere and didn't let him browse the world.
When he woke up the next day, Gan Jing still remembered the dog's resentful dog face in his dream.
"What a stupid dog. ”
This dream made Gan Jing feel good, and when he saw George, he also gave the most sincere smile again.
"I love Forrest Gump with a smile. Fat George said on the way to send Gan Jing to the premiere.
Hey, if it's okay, who likes to cry and have a sad face.
Gan Jing adjusted his mood and talked and laughed with George all the way to the premiere.
The premiere of "The Hangover" was undertaken by Legendary Pictures, as one of the film investors, they attached great importance to this premiere, and several high-level executives of the film and television department were present, and several famous film critics and well-connected stars were invited to attend.
Of course, these people don't know any of them.
Although there is a translation for language barriers, there are some situations where it is not convenient to rely on translation to expand the relationship.
Fortunately, Gan Jing's demand in this regard is not strong, he just said hello to a few acquaintances of the crew and quietly watched this "Hangover".
I have to say that Legendary Pictures wants to break the contract for his reasons, although the Eastern and Western cultures are different, but Gan Jing, an Oriental, still finds it funny to watch this movie.
In this way, it is indeed possible to have a good result at the box office.
After watching the movie and looking at the lively interview above, Gan Jing frowned and stretched out - a box office hit means that he has a lot of shares, even if there is no investment in the second part, it is a very happy thing, don't worry too much about it.
Compared to this, the most important thing is to be able to make gains in the West.
Gan Jing left his seat and walked to the exit to get some air.
"Wang!"
- "Damn two-legged beast, stepped on my foot!"
A dog barked mixed with thoughts into Gan Jing's heart.
Huh? Again?
The lights at the exit were dim, and Gan Jing accidentally stepped on a dog, and then his strong ability to read let him know the dog's thoughts.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, don't blame me, I'll pay attention next time. Gan Jing squatted down.
- "Huh, can you understand me?"
"It's a secret, don't tell anyone else. ”
- "I can't tell you if I want to, you can understand me, you're such a great two-legged beast!"
There was nothing to do, Gan Jing let go of the passage at the exit and took the dog outside to communicate happily.
Compared to people, it's quite pleasant to communicate with a dog who doesn't have any scheming.
After communicating for a while, Gan Jing suddenly felt a darkness in front of him, and a figure immediately sat beside him.
“Hi。 It was an old white man in his fifties and sixties, and he sat down next to Gan Jing and said hello in a friendly manner.
Gan Jing smiled and replied, "Hi." ”
The old white man nodded, and said a string of English that Gan Jing didn't understand, perhaps noticing Gan Jing's blank face, the old man stopped talking, pointed to the dog next to him, and spit out a word: "Good?"
"Good!Good!" Gan Jing nodded hurriedly.
The old man stopped talking and touched the Shiba Inu in front of him, he was the owner of this Shiba Inu.
After a while, Fat George found out, and he saw Gan Jing sitting here, and came over and said, "Are you going to speak?"
"I wasn't invited to speak before, so what's the point of speaking on an impromptu basis, forget it. ”
The white old man watched the conversation between the two, and suddenly said a series of words to Fat George in English.
After a few words, Fat George looked at Gan Jing with a strange face and said, "This director has a script I want to ask if you are interested." ”
"Huh?" Gan Jing was surprised, "What's the name?"
"Akita Inu Yachi". Fat George pointed to the Shiba Inu on the ground, "Maybe it's his plan to photograph his pet." ”
Gan Jing frowned.
Fat George looked at the white old man, and after a while, he pondered: "Or it's okay to call it "The Story of Hachiko, the Loyal Dog", which one do you think is better?"
"It's all weird. ”
Gan Jing commented, grinning toothily at the old white man who was paying attention to his expression.
