Gan Jingshang did not know that a group of people in his distant homeland were scouting the movements of Chinese-Gump, and he was very happy after hearing the box office news of "The Hangover", but then immersed himself in the new script.

"The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog" is based on the true story of Neon Country, which tells the story of a university professor who adopts a small Akita dog named "Hachiko", and every day after that, the Akita dog sends the professor to the station in the morning and waits for the professor to go home with him in the evening.

Unfortunately, the professor died of illness one day and never returned to the station, but Hachiko continued to wait at the station every day for the next nine years until he finally died.

Gan Jing finished reading the entire script, and he was not touched at first, but when he saw the last sentence "This script is based on a true story", he suddenly felt a shock in his heart.

He also has a golden retriever at home in the capital, and that guy is waiting for him with anticipation, just like the Akita dog.

But why is Hachiko so persistent in his master, and why is he so pure in his master?

Nine years are like a day, waiting quietly until death.

Gan Jing touched this true story, imagined that picture, and felt a little moved in his heart.

People are like this, they are often moved by those things that they can't do - there is nothing wrong with that, when they don't become heroes, they revere heroes, when they don't become heroes, they yearn for warriors, their hearts are not pure enough, they consider all kinds of factors, so they have a good impression of those who smile cleanly.

Hachiko's purity is something that most people can't do, and that's where it hits people's hearts.

Gan Jing covered his scroll and thought for a long time, and suddenly a sentence appeared in his heart that he didn't know when - the water comes, I am waiting for you in the water, and the fire comes, I am waiting for you in the ashes.

"Alas. With a long sigh, Gan Jing took the phone from the coffee table and called George, and then dialed Lesser.

"Director, I took this script. Gan Jing gave the answer.

"Great. The old man Lacey's tone was very happy, "How about the investment? Don't tell me you don't have any money, "The Hangover" is going to win the box office weekly championship!"

"What is the amount of investment you plan to invest here?" Gan Jing suddenly hated this old man a little, and suddenly dragged himself out of the feeling just now.

"About fifteen million. Director Lesser gave a number.

"RMB?" Gan Jing asked rhetorically, passing through Fat George's ears to the director.

"Dollars, of course. ”

Although Lesser couldn't see it, Gan Jing couldn't help but roll his eyes.

The film "The Hangover" itself invested $8 million, accounting for a quarter of the investment, which is the vast majority of the belongings.

When the box office is stable, excluding the share of theaters and distribution, investors will probably be able to share about 45% of the money, and Gan Jing will share another 25% of the 45%.

To put it simply, if "The Hangover" can have a box office of 100 million US dollars, then Gan Jing will probably get 11 million dollars.

"I think about thinking about ......"

Gan Jing didn't give an answer on the phone, and when he hung up the phone and looked at George's expression, he asked helplessly: "Do you think I should invest?"

"It's a big decision and you need to think about it. Fat George shrugged, sat down on the soft couch, and sank deep in.

"What do you want!" Gan Jing complained.

Fat George immediately said, "Of course it's a translator." ”

Gan Jing grinned: "Next time I learn English without translation, won't you be unemployed?"

"Then I'll go run with the crew. ”

After pouring two cups of tea, Gan Jing put it on the coffee table in front of the sofa, holding his share in one hand, and sighed: "Sometimes I don't understand what people want so much money for." ”

"How much money do you have? Forrest Gump from the East?" asked Fat George with a squint of his eyes.

"It's basically the box office this time. I asked Cooper before, and he told me that "The Hangover" is likely to make $200 million at the current word-of-mouth trend. By then, it will be more than $20 million. Gan Jing then added, "I can't spend it alone, and I may not be able to spend it in my life." ”

"Then you invest in movies, your money will not leave traces in the future, but movies will. Decades, hundreds of years, a classic can be passed on forever. Fat George said this without hesitation.

Well...... That sounds good, people have to stay for the rest of their lives.

Still, it seems that something else could be done.

"George, can I buy a media company?"

Fat George was a little puzzled why he suddenly turned to this angle, shook his head and said, "Those companies have a lot of money, and you definitely don't have enough money." You see, just now you said that you can't spend all your money, and now you just can't spend it. Besides, what are you doing as a Chinese person buying an American media company?"

Gan Jing sat up straight, looked at George's questioning face, and said seriously: "I want to buy a media company, and the first page is written about me every day, so that people can see me every day!"

"Why?" wondered Fat George.

"Because...... Because I'm glad to be!"

If you buy a media company, you can make headlines every day!

Seeing him like this, George didn't ask, but said, "Then you have to make more money and invest in more movies." ”

"Okay! I think the script of "The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog" is good, and the director is also reliable. Well, if I bring people from Legendary Pictures to invest together, do you think they will agree?" Gan Jing doesn't plan to invest alone, that would be too risky.

"If you give up on investing in The Hangover 2, there's a good chance they'll say yes. Legendary Pictures is really good as an investor and distributor. ”

"Consider, consider. ”

Gan Jing still said the same thing.

Having said that, these things really can't be decided casually by one person, investment, analysis, market, profits, distribution, follow-up, actors, theaters, publicity and other factors need to be taken into account.

Generally speaking, these are to have a professional team to dock, after serious negotiations can be preliminarily determined, and then through various procedures to confirm the final cooperation.

Everyone is responsible for their own assets and must be treated with a serious attitude.

Gan Jing no.

He's a very responsible person.

The next day, Gan Jing agreed to Lesser's request to invest, and it was wholly owned by himself.

According to his words to George, he voted anyway, so why not play big?

This demeanor reminds Fat George of Forrest Gump's demeanor at the gaming table - don't tell me any analysis, the old man is a shuttle when he plays lottery.

The investment was confirmed, and the other contender for the leading actor that Lesser said was never mentioned again.

The two sides only need to wait for the box office dividends of "The Hangover" to start, and before that, Gan Jing will return to China to make a cameo appearance in a new play directed by Feng Xiaogang.
