Chapter 598: Warm-up
Liao Yimei graduated from Chinese opera in 92, and the script created in 99 has been performing, and since then, it has been 14 years since today, which is an old man in the screenwriting industry.
Today, however, she was a little frightened.
A script with a budget cost of $1, $200 million?
A script that's going to be made in Hollywood?
A heroic story starring a Chinese person?
I have to admit that Forrest Gump's ambition is really big.
Liao Yimei's mind surged, and she suddenly felt that she had never seen the market...... She pinched the manuscript paper in her hand, staring at the Chinese characters on it with a little suspicion, as if it was embroidered.
Time is ticking, and the tea is already cold.
"What is the target group, what is the proportion of special effects, and what are the requirements for war effects?"
Liao Yimei seemed to wake up suddenly, asking a series of questions, but her voice was hoarse unconsciously.
"It's PG-13 level, well, do you know the movie classification in the United States?" Gan Jing nodded affirmatively from Liao Yimei, "Children over 13 years old can watch it." War and special effects...... You write it first, anyway, the general story is like this, write it and take a look. ”
You write first...... Liao Yimei assured that this is the most rude request she has ever heard in her career, write first? If not, who will spend the energy? Write first and then revise? Revision is often more laborious than writing, and there is no too specific requirement!
But, but, it's very likely that this is a script that will break into Hollywood.
If anyone had said what Forrest Gump had just said, Liao Yimei would not be so cautious, but the hateful Party A sitting in front of him was Forrest Gump!
Forrest gump!
Hollywood A-list actor!Oscar and Cannes Best Actor!Cannes Jury President!Overseas highest-grossing Chinese actor!No, the highest Chinese actor!
Liao Yimei fell silent again, this is Forrest Gump's request, and it is also his test, right? After all, he is such a big-name actor, how can he not understand the script.
"Good. Liao Yimei grabbed the manuscript paper on the table, got up and nodded at Forrest Gump, "I'll write it out first for you to see." ”
"Yes. Gan Jing also got up and smiled at her, "As fast as you can, it will take time for Hollywood to attract investment, and I plan to start filming next year." ”
This damn Party A!
Liao Yimei pulled her lips a little reluctantly and left.
Gan Jing sent the female screenwriter to the door, and then turned back to the office, and met Lao Chen on the way.
"Hey, Forrest Gump, how is the screenwriter talking?" Lao Chen put away the documents in his hand and asked with concern.
"It's okay. Gan Jing touched his chin and said a little strangely, "This screenwriter is not very talkative, quite quiet, and doesn't laugh much, she went back to write first." ”
"It's okay not to laugh, as long as you write well. Lao Chen nodded, "Is it easy to attract investment from Hollywood for this kind of script?"
"It's definitely no problem to get investment, the main thing is to see how much you can get. Gan Jing chatted while walking, "The effect of 50 million and 100 million is definitely different, and there is a difference between 100 million and 200 million." Let's read the script first, although I don't understand this kind of writing script, I can see whether the story is good or bad. ”
Lao Chen said yes, and when he entered the office, he handed Forrest Gump another document to publicize the plan, and said with a smile: "Only You" was cut and quickly finalized for publicity, these are all programs that can be played. ”
Gan Jing took it over and took a look, and frowned when he saw that there was Tokyo, he really didn't want to go abroad for a while: "It's almost cut, I didn't change much of the picture." Huaying has no problem over there, right?"
"Green light, win-win for everyone. Lao Chen smiled, Huaying has maintained a good relationship, and Forrest Gump is a VIP over there.
Gan Jing rubbed his temples, browsed the program list for a while, thought about it and pointed to the more familiar variety show, and said: "He Jiong is very good, go to the happy base camp." You can pick the rest, don't be too entertaining, don't have too low ratings, don't be Sabi the host. ”
“…… What other variety shows in Huaxia can be promoted?!" Lao Chen was dissatisfied.
Gan Jing gave up and said, "Then you see." ”
"You're a director!" Lao Chen solemnly reminded.
"Oh yes. Gan Jing seemed to have just remembered this, but still said, "Then you can pick it too." ”
Lao Chen also gave up, just pick.
……
The story of the script has been settled, but it needs to wait for the creation to be completed.
The editing of "Only You" ended soon, and the finished film that Gan Jing could refer to was of great help, its scheduled time had to wait for the results of Huaying's declaration, and variety shows and online publicity had to wait for this definite date, and at present, it was only contacting various programs and warming up a little on the Internet.
Gan Jing breathed a sigh of relief after smoothing out these things, and decided to let himself rest for two days and contact his senior brother Tan Shan by the way.
The frequency of Peking Opera's national tours has decreased, and the global tour was originally tied to the authorities, but this expected convenience also has to take risks - now it is taking the risk before enjoying the benefits, diplomatic activities are tightening, and the tour that was almost scheduled will naturally not be able to move for the time being.
The original Tan family courtyard has been sold, and the senior brother on the phone introduced the recent situation of the new Peking Opera Society, but the result was only a slight loss.
Although it was not profitable, it was already very unexpected.
This phone call with my senior brother has been chatting for more than two hours, Gan Jing is a little guilty in his heart, he has been busy with movies for a long time, and Peking Opera has less care, singing skills...... And indeed there was a decline.
He agreed with his senior brother that after this busy time, he must go to the Peking Opera Club to sing and have a good time, and by the way, he will add some attention - presumably these attention levels are enough to turn the Peking Opera Society into a profit for a period of time, and more ways are needed to continue to make profits.
I just had a day off this day, Gan Jing didn't even brush his teeth or wash his face since he got up, and he just browsed the TV show leisurely and leisurely, he wasn't very interested, he was just killing time.
Mere killing time without a purpose is a kind of relaxation for him.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Gan Jing's mobile phone, which had been silent, lit up again, and he had no intention of answering the phone today, but after glancing at it, he was suddenly a little surprised.
"Hey, Sister Tan Jing, why did you call me?" This is Tan Jing, who has not been in touch for a long time, and the two have cooperated in the Spring Festival Gala, "Do you want to borrow money?"
"Phew. I'm on the voiceover. You're in the capital, right?'s okay?" Tan Jing feigned anger, "Come out for dinner!"
"Huh?" Gan Jing hesitated.
"It's sloppy. Tan Jing was still grinning, and then said in a low voice, "I've blown out all my big words." ”
