This actor doesn't look like a good guy

Chapter 287 DreamWorks

When Jiang Bai woke up the next day, it was already 11:30. At this time, he still felt a little dry.

Just when she was about to drink mineral water, Su Rou swiped her room card and walked in from the outside, holding a thermos cup in her hand.

"woke up?"

"Drink some water."

While talking to Su Rou, she opened the lid and handed over the water glass.

Jiang Bai took the steaming water cup and took a sip first. Then he started to drink after realizing that the water was not hot.

While drinking, he asked: "When did you wake up?"

"Me, it was around nine o'clock, but I saw that you were still asleep at that time, so I didn't wake you up. I went out to have breakfast, and then went down to pack things.

This hot water was boiled before. I opened the lid and let it dry for a while. I brought it to you after it turned into warm water. Unexpectedly, you had already woken up. "

Jiang Bai smiled, Su Rou was still so considerate.

"No, I just woke up too. I woke up with my front legs, and you walked in with your back legs. You came just in time."

"Haha, ok, you drink water first and take a shower later. What do you want to eat for lunch? Do you want to eat in the room or outside?"

"Let's eat in the hotel later and I'll call Baoqiang."

After making the call, Jiang Bai got up and washed up, then went downstairs to have a meal and then came back to pack his things.

The flight was at five o'clock in the afternoon. The place where they lived now was about half an hour away from the airport. They still had some time, so they went to visit a nearby specialty store.

I bought some local specialties, then returned to the hotel and asked the hotel to help find a courier to mail all these things back.

After all, Jiang Bai buys a lot here, and there are many people who have to give it away. It will be too inconvenient to hold it by hand.

In this way, they went to the airport and took the plane back to Yanjing.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when we arrived in Yanjing, but now the company has a car and a driver.

They directly asked the driver to take them to Jiang Bai's house. After eating, they stayed directly at Jiang Bai's house. After all, there was no need to run back and forth at night.

Stay here for one night, and we will go back to the company the next day.

Jiang Bai has a total of five courtyards here, with a total of more than a dozen rooms. Except for some that Jiang Bai uses to store things and entertain, the rest are all guest rooms, so it is no problem to accommodate the two of them. .

But not long after they fell asleep, Su Rou sneaked over.

silent night...

The next day, they went to the company.

Jiang Bai also has a separate office here. No one comes in usually. Only the cleaning lady comes over every day to wipe the table and mop the floor.

But because Jiang Bai himself stayed in the company for a very short time, even when he came back, he basically stayed in Zhao Zhe's office to discuss things, so this office looked very simple.

After Jiang Bai came back, he first read the script of "Kung Fu Panda" in the office for a while, and then Zhao Zhe also ran over and told Jiang Bai about his contact with overseas releases during this period.

I have already contacted some smaller countries. In addition, I have applied for all the major domestic and foreign awards. The only ones left that I have not contacted are the Neon Stick Country and the Beautiful Country. After all, these three places have You were also contacted for the first-time promotion, so it’s better for you to ask.

Jiang Bai nodded.

"Well, let me contact these three places. Their box office split is different from ours. They are a stepped split. The box office split we can get in the first week is higher. Later, our The proportion will gradually decrease.”

"I know this, but if this is the case, we need to do more publicity at the beginning."

"Yes, is there still money in the company's account?" Jiang Bai asked again.

Zhao Zhe shook his head: "Basically there is no money left. All the previous movie productions have been spent. It will take several months for the income sharing of "Jiang Hu" to arrive. In addition, the company's "No Man's Land" has not been reviewed yet. This Movies are very troublesome.”

Jiang Bai sighed: "This subject is indeed a bit sensitive. Let's change it later and let Ning Hao come up with a plan based on the change direction we mentioned before. If it doesn't work, contact more people over there first and let them Let’s look at the plan and if possible we will reshoot it, but try not to change the core of the movie.”

"Yes, this movie is actually very profound. It must reflect the darkness of no man's land. If there are too many changes, it won't have that flavor."

Jiang Bai also nodded: "That's right, "No Man's Land" will handle it like this first. Later I will also contact these three countries. After we have a good chat, I will give you their phone numbers. After that, you will Responsible for connecting."

"it is good."

"In addition, as for the awards, how did you apply for them?"

"I applied for everything I could apply for in the movie itself. The leading actor must be you, and the heroine I applied for is Tong Liya. However, I didn't put together all the supporting roles. I applied for Wu Jing for the Golden Rooster Award, and Wu Jing for the Golden Horse Award. Bao Qiang, the Golden Statue Award is awarded to Zhao Wenzhuo, the Huabiao Award, the Hundred Flowers Award and the Golden Deer Award in Changchun are all awarded to Bao Qiang.

In addition, you will be nominated for the art award, styling award, action design award, and music award. For director, it must be Jiang Wen, and for screenwriter, it will be myself. "

"Well, it's reasonable to do this."

Jiang Bai has no objections to this list. He will reward Wu Jing and Zhao Wenzao in some big awards. The rest is mainly about Baoqiang. After all, as far as Jiang Bai is concerned, he feels that Wang Baoqiang’s performance in this movie is The tension is still very strong.

It almost subverted the previous image.

Although it was said to be finished in the middle of the performance, the death of the killer played by Bao Qiang was actually the trigger for the entire subsequent incident.

"Basically all the awards that can be applied for abroad have been applied for, including Best Picture, Best Actor and Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Actor... Anyway, all the awards that can be applied for have been applied for. It will depend on how they arrange it, even if they are not selected. , just being shortlisted is also profitable for us.

Being nominated for these awards is a very dazzling achievement for us. It seems that the films we have made have not achieved much success abroad. "

Afterwards, Zhao Zhe told Jiang Bai when to attend these awards. Of course, the closest one was the Oscar.

Zhao Zhe reported to Jiang Bai when he left last time. Counting the time, it will start next month.

But Jiang Bai should have gone to a new crew by that time.

But this is not a big problem. They are all in the beautiful country anyway. Just ask Jiang Bai to take a leave and go there.

After that comes the Palme d'Or and the Golden Bear, then the domestic awards, and finally they go to the Golden Lion.

However, in addition to "Jiang Hu", "Crazy Racing" also submitted these awards that can be applied for. Last year, the awards were given by stones. This year, no matter what the racing, you have to participate.

Not to mention anything else, I was able to get a few trophies in the end just by relying on the box office of the car.

In this way, Jiang Bai spent the rest of the time exercising every day, or going to the racing track here in BJ to practice driving. The sports car that Paul gave him would take about a week to modify. After all, many parts have to be purchased from abroad.

But when Jiang Bai was resting that day, a phone call suddenly came in, saying that he wanted to invite Jiang Bai to shoot an advertisement for publicity.

They are very generous. As long as Jiang Bai is willing to be their spokesperson, in addition to giving him 200 million US dollars to shoot commercials, he will also be given 500 million US dollars in endorsement fees every year. At a glance, it is indeed very generous. You know The endorsement fees given by Volkswagen last year were not that high.

Generally speaking, it is definitely not an ordinary person who can get his own phone number, at least it is not through people in the circle or some business bosses.

Therefore, Jiang Bai did not doubt whether the other party could come up with such a large amount of money. After all, it was only a preliminary intention to talk to him directly. If he really wanted to sign a contract, he would still have to leave the company. As long as he left the company, the other party would definitely have to Just send all the qualifications and company information.

This kind of cooperation cannot be careless.

"Hello, may I ask what company you are here? What product do I want to endorse?"

"Our company is a gaming company in northern Myanmar. Every year, many entertainment industry bosses and bosses play with us. Mr. Jiang, the reason why we want you to speak for us is to increase the company's popularity. And don't worry, we The company here is absolutely legal and compliant, and although we are in the gaming industry, our stuff has always been open and transparent."

"Betting?" Jiang Bai was stunned for a moment.

"Bookmaker, isn't that a casino?"

Jiang Bai is very familiar with this kind of place.

Although he himself has no interest in this kind of thing, he once played in it when Yoshio played games for some people.Moreover, Jiang Bai was still young at that time, had a sharp ear and eyesight, and relied on his skills to be successful in the casino.

But he also knows very well that the existence of this kind of thing is actually harmful to people.

As the saying goes, a small bet is happy, but a big bet hurts the body.

Jiang Bai thought it was okay to play appropriately, but if he really let it go, no amount of money would be enough to lose.

Even if you have tens of millions or hundreds of millions in your hands, it may only be a matter of one night in a big casino.

"Sorry, I won't accept this." Jiang Bai flatly refused.

Is it better not to touch this kind of thing? Not only do you not bet on it, it is also best not to be those spokespersons.

After all, the state explicitly prohibits this.

Not to mention Hong Kong and Macao, at least in the mainland, such a place is not allowed to exist.

It would be overwhelming to open a mahjong parlor.

And even if a mahjong parlor is open, the police will check it every day.

Therefore, whenever you get into trouble with this thing, you will be in trouble.

Although the other party gave a lot, it was 500 million US dollars a year, which was enough for the company to make a popular movie.

But money can be made at any time.

You can't kill a chicken just for the eggs.

"Mr. Jiang, I hope you can think about it again. The price is easy to negotiate. As long as you are willing to be our spokesperson, we can negotiate everything."

"Sorry, I don't accept this type of advertising. It's not about money."

After saying that, Jiang Bai hung up the phone.

In fact, there have been many generous parties who came to Jiang Bai in the past and wanted Jiang Bai to speak for him.

Some make health care products, some make medicines, some make collectibles, and some sell fake wine.

These Jiang Bai refused directly.

Because he knows how to treat patients and heal injuries, he doesn't believe a word of many advertisements.

Although it is true that there are many small factories that can make good wine, not all factories can make good wine.

You say your wine tastes good and is carefully brewed using ancient techniques. The original price was 699, but now you can buy a bottle for only 6.9. Isn’t that just a joke?

If you become a spokesperson for this kind of thing.

That's going to be poked in the spine.

Instead of doing these things, Jiang Bai might as well go back to the university to teach students.

Although there is no hard and fast rule in the school about how many classes Jiang Bai must come back to take every semester, there is a salary for him to some extent.

Although it is very little every month, it is only 100 yuan.

But there’s more to this than form.

And he is not a formal employee in the school, he just has a name. Jiang Bai comes back to teach the students occasionally, so more students will be willing to apply.

In addition, Jiang Bai is recognized in the martial arts circle as being able to fight and master many and sophisticated moves.

So they also want Jiang Bai to leave more things for everyone to learn from.

As for Jiang Bai, he actually wants to pass on all his skills.

It is impossible for children to have children, so there must be an heir.

It doesn't matter if one or two people can't learn their own skills. As long as there are enough people to learn, there will always be someone who can learn it. At worst, everyone can learn it separately.

After talking to the school, Jiang Bai also came to the school three days later.

This time he planned to teach Xingyi Quan.

The students also got the news early and chose his class.

As Jiang Bai came back to take several classes last year, they all knew that Jiang Bai's classes were rare.

Once there is Jiang Bai's class, it's not a choice, you have to grab it.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to grab it at all.

There are too many people competing.

And Jiang Bai went back to class one after another for five days in total, including Monkey Fist, Crane Fist, Tiger Fist, Snake Fist, and Mantis Fist.

A kind of day.

But he can only teach some of the most basic things. No matter how much Jiang Bai tries, he won't have the time.

However, Jiang Bai plans to record the rest of the story into a video and bring it to school.

In this way, teachers can also learn it and then teach it to their students after they have learned it.

However, if the leaders at that time found out what Jiang Bai was doing now, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood.

The best thing about their sect was taught by Jiang Bai in a public way.

But who told them not to travel through time?

After a few fulfilling days, Jiang Bai packed up his things and went to Beautiful Country with Su Rou and dumplings.

They went to Los Angeles first, and then DreamWorks sent people to pick them up.

DreamWorks' corporate headquarters is located in Glendale, California.

It is only twelve kilometers away from Los Angeles.

So the distance is very close.

The hotel they stayed at was a Hilton.

After arriving at the company, I immediately went to meet the director of the film.

John Stephenson and Mark Osborne.

It was Jiang Bai who Mark contacted in the first place.

On the first day, the director took Jiang Bai and the others to visit their place.

Including various equipment for motion capture, various animation characters and images they have produced, and their excellent team.

Jiang Bai just felt it was novel, but the dumplings' eyes immediately glowed green, and he wished he could move all these things back to the country on the spot.

Put it in a studio specially set aside for them by the company.
