I want to make headlines

Chapter 234 Friends ([-] in [-])

Just when Gan Jing was curious and was about to take the money to go to the appointment, "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" starring Zhou Dongyu had been released for a week, and the box office performance was not bad.

The investment in this film is not large, and the film on the literary route has earned 4000 million to 500 million box office in the first week, which can be described as a surprising performance.

The protagonist Zhou Dongyu, who was originally questioned in the media public opinion, also used her acting skills to respond to the previous speculation about her.

After the film was released, this "Mou Girl" was hailed as the purest "Mou Girl" because of her image in the play.

After the box office of "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" came out in the first week, many people predicted according to past habits that the box office of this literary and artistic love feature film is likely to break the record of domestic literary and artistic films.

Seeing that the road to stardom is about to start, Zhou Dongyu is caught in a decision.

After she won the Spanish actress, she received a lot of film appointments. Of course, there was no big director like Zhang Yimou among them, but even this was enough to make her excited.

Winning awards, filming, and getting paid, the path of an actor is undoubtedly very glorious.

So do you still want to go to university?
This year, Zhou Dongyu gave up the chance to take the college entrance examination for the filming of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree". If he wants to go to university next year, he will definitely not be able to accept the script again...

Can a rookie like myself continue on without exposure?

Zhou Dongyu, who was quite confused, was idly watching the news on the entertainment channel on the weekend night. She just heard her own news from it—this was an experience she had never experienced before, and she really felt a sense of satisfaction listening to it.

Immersed in this sense of satisfaction, she suddenly heard a name on the TV, and quickly looked up.

"my country's newly promoted Cannes actor Gan Jing returned to China, and appeared outside the Beijing Chinese Opera School, attracting onlookers. It is reported that this time Gan Jing may turn his focus to China. He has participated in..."

Zhou Dongyu was a little surprised, why is Gan Jing in China?The news said that his focus has shifted back to China?Was it a setback in Hollywood?It shouldn't be, he just won the best actor a few months ago, so it stands to reason that he should do better in Hollywood, right? !

She wandered her eyes for a while, picked up the mobile phone on the table, found the number, and dialed it.

beep.

"Hey, Dongyu, congratulations on the big hit at the box office." A somewhat familiar voice came to his ears, and it sounded like the environment he was in was a bit noisy.

"Uncle Gan, are you in the capital? When did you come back? Shouldn't you be in the United States?" Zhou Dongyu directly skipped the politeness, continued the initial greeting when he met Gan Jing, and asked straight to the point.

"Oh, I was invited to the Spring Festival Gala. I thought about it and thought it was pretty good, so I came back." Gan Jing replied.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and heard him ask again: "How are you doing recently? You must be on fire, right?"

"Hmph, how can you be so popular, you will be surrounded by people when you walk outside!" Zhou Dongyu remembered the entertainment news he just saw.

Why some girls just hum at every turn is really an unsolved mystery.

Gan Jing smacked in his heart, smiled wryly and said, "That's why I didn't expect that there are so many people who know me now, I really have to pay more attention next time."

"Hmm..." Zhou Dongyu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Uncle Gan, I have a hard choice."

"Tell me." The background voice on the phone seemed to have become a little quieter, and Gan Jing's voice was first far away and then came clearly.

Zhou Dongyu didn't know what he was doing, but when he heard his voice clear again, he said, "Many film appointments are looking for me now, but my homework will be affected if I take on the show again. Well, will I not be able to go to college next year? Or say , continue to shoot now?"

Gan Jing didn't hesitate for a second, and said, "Of course I'm going to university, Beijing Film Academy, or Chinese Academy of Drama is fine."

"Why? Didn't everyone say that it is necessary to become famous as soon as possible? Shouldn't it be to strike a few more dramas while the iron is hot so that everyone can get to know me more?" Zhou Dongyu expressed the doubt in his heart.

"Wait for me to download." The background sound of Gan Jing's phone changed from noisy to quiet again, and then continued, "That's different. Let me ask you, is there any big director looking for you now? No. Probably they are all Bad script, low investment, if you continue to shoot like this, it will be ruined. One bad movie, two bad movies, no one will look for you, do you think you can always meet Director Zhang?"

Gan Jing earnestly taught: "It's different when you go to university. You have a good appearance, and you have a successful movie as a base, and the road will be much wider in the future. The contacts and classmates accumulated in the university will also be useful."

"Didn't you go to college?" Zhou Dongyu thought for a while, then asked sharply.

Hey, I also wanted to do it at the beginning, but the situation is completely different. How should I explain this problem?How do you say it is convincing?How can I show my sincerity?How can I reflect the style of the elders?
Gan Jing thought for two seconds, leaned close to the phone's microphone to confirm that his voice could be heard clearly, and then spoke.

"Not everyone can be Gan Jing."

"Not everyone gets the Cannes trophy."

Well, this reason is enough, Gan Jing thought so, he heard an unknown sound coming from the mobile phone, and it took a while to hear Zhou Dongyu's answer.

"okay, I get it!"

"That's good, study hard and go to college. I'm having dinner here, so let's stop talking. I'll congratulate you when all your box office comes out." Gan Jing said.

Speaking of this, Zhou Dongyu realized that Gan Jing was at the dinner party, and the two said goodbye to each other, she hung up the phone in a daze, feeling quite good in her heart.

On the other side, in a luxury villa on the outskirts of the capital, Gan Jing came out of the bathroom and returned to the dining table, making a haha.

"Sorry, a friend called just now." Gan Jing said.

"This is Brother Gan's fault. The person on the phone is a friend, but the person at the dinner table is not?" A man with a neat hairstyle joked, "Brother Gan has to punish himself."

"Hey, no." Another person next to him waved his hand and said, "One cup is worth it? Three cups, three cups!"

Everyone at the table booed, and the person in the main seat laughed and said nothing.

Today's appearance fee is quite generous, Gan Jing intends to donate the money to the Beijing Opera Foundation, he didn't drink much before, and now it's no problem to drink a few glasses.

"Okay, three cups will be three cups. Mr. Liao, this cup is toast to you, business is booming." Gan Jing stood up, picked up the wine glass, and drank it down.

"The second cup is toast to the friends present here. Your career is going well."

"The third cup is a toast to the sisters and sisters here, more and more beautiful."

After drinking three cups in a row, Gan Jing won rounds of applause for his style.

The boss surnamed Liao on the main seat nodded in satisfaction, this actor is also very knowledgeable, his money is not wasted, it is because of the other actress who was invited next to him.

How else can I say that he is the film king, look at you!

Mr. Liao squinted his eyes and didn't have a seizure. He just toasted and laughed: "Come on, let's raise our glasses together and respect our best actor. I wish him every hit at the box office!"

"cheers!"

"Dry!"

Gan Jing drank the fourth cup, although the alcohol content was not high, but he still felt slightly dizzy after drinking four consecutive cups in a short time.

"What kind of film appointment is there with Forrest Gump? If there is a schedule, we can cooperate." The person who spoke was also at the table. According to preliminary understanding, this is a director.

Although Gan Jing had never heard of this person's name, nor had he heard of the director Zhu Wei's works that he mentioned, but Gan Jing would naturally not disrupt the stage on this occasion, and it still seemed that everyone was very close to the circle.

"The next schedule is quite full." Gan Jing smiled and declined.

"That's really a pity." Zhu Wei got fat, and his face trembled when he laughed. He said regret, but his expression was very calm. He turned and asked the girl who was two seats away, " Where's Xiaowen? Do you have a schedule? I have a film contract in my hand but I'm recruiting?"

The girl called Xiaowen secretly looked away from Gan Jing's face, and said in surprise: "Really? Director Zhu, then you have to support me. I am different from Brother Gan. I have a schedule." .”

"Really? Then we have to make an appointment for an audition, but you have to thank me. I'll help you pass the primary selection for the producer first." Zhu Wei said with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you Director Zhu, I would like to offer you a toast." Xiao Wen filled up the wine glass and offered Zhu Wei a real toast, because he drank too fast and choked a little.

Gan Jing frowned and then let go, always feeling that Zhu Wen was a bit wrong, but he was polite to him, and the actor Xiaowen, who seemed to be new to the industry, thanked him again and again, and he said nothing was bad.

He touched his temples, feeling a little drunk, so he took a few mouthfuls of food.

"Brother Gan, the mobile phone I made has a very good response in the market. How about you? The quality of the film is very good. I think the image is quite suitable. I don't know how much your endorsement price is?" Mr. Liao got up to fill up the wine for Gan Jing, and asked said a word.

Gan Jing's demand for endorsements is not high. The domestic endorsements are currently being screened by Lao Chen. He said truthfully: "The studio is responsible for this. If Mr. Liao is interested, I will let my agent contact you after these business matters."

"Hey, it's business and personal matters. Why don't we talk about our friendship after drinking? In two days, I have a cruise ship to go to the high seas. I will take Brother Gan with me. The high seas will be much happier. It's better than here." Mr. Liao waved his hand to persuade him, and then showed off lightly.

This Mr. Liao seems to be the boss of a certain domestic mobile phone company, but there are other people behind the family. Gan Jing was confused when he heard other people shouting like this, so he followed suit.

But no matter what, it’s good to be rich. There are quite a lot of people coming to the ladder tonight, and there are also many beautiful girls in luxury cars.

Gan Jing smiled, but still refused: "My contract is all in the studio, I really can't decide."

The people next to him were not very happy: "You, the best actor in Cannes, can't be your own master? Don't tell me you don't give Liao face?"

Hey, I'm grumpy.

Gan Jing said bluntly: "I can't do it."

He refused again briefly and forcefully. The person who spoke just now couldn't hold back his face, and said in a more emphatic voice: "Shame on your face, isn't it, an actor..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Wei who was fat: "What is Xiaoqi talking about? A-Gump came here today to save Mr. Liao's face. You are Mr. Liao's brother, and he is also Mr. Liao's guest!"

One is a brother, and the other is a guest, which can be seen from far and near.

But at any rate, the siege was resolved, and this Xiaoqi didn't speak anymore. Gan Jing smiled, raised his glass and toasted Zhu Wei: "Director Zhu, have a drink, and we will have a chance to cooperate in the future."

"That's right, who wouldn't want to cooperate with a film king." Zhu Wei laughed heartily.

After drinking for three rounds, Gan Jing spent a lot of time on this ladder, gradually becoming interested in going.

When the dinner at the main table was over and it was entertainment time, people began to walk around and the music started, so Gan Jing went to the pool to blow the wind to sober up.

"Brother Gan, can I call you that?" Xiaowen's timid voice came.

This girl looks pretty good, and she seems to have paid an appearance fee to come here, but Gan Jing has never heard of her.

"Of course, Xiaowen."

Xiaowen immediately smiled and said, "Brother Gan must have never met me. I just acted in some TV supporting roles. I dream of acting in a movie. Can you leave me a contact information?"

Gan Jing nodded, took out his mobile phone and exchanged numbers with her, then saw her retreat knowingly.

Once upon a time, I also became an actor that some people should treat with care?
Gan Jing looked at the shattered moon shadow in the swimming pool, smiled, turned around and walked towards Mr. Liao.

"President Liao, I'm going back now."

"Brother Gan, why are you in such a hurry? There will be a show in the villa later."

"It's like this. Tomorrow I want to meet with the director team of the Spring Festival Gala. It's too late today." Gan Jing found an excuse.

Mr. Liao was a little displeased, but he still nodded and said, "All right, brother Gan, my mobile phone here is indeed sincerely asking you to be the spokesperson."

"I really need to talk to my manager about this matter, I'm really sorry." Gan Jing once again declined.

"Hmm." Mr. Liao's displeasure was obvious.

Gan Jing bid farewell, left the villa, and got into the car he had come in.

"Let's go."

This car was borrowed from Zhou Xun, and the driver was also from the studio, who had been waiting outside.

"Okay, Brother Gan, you're out so early." The driver spoke in a pure Beijing accent and started the nanny car.

"Yeah." Gan Jing was a little dizzy, leaned back on the seat and closed his eyes to rest.

The interior of the car is quiet except for a little tire noise.

As he was returning, the mobile phone in Gan Jing's pocket suddenly vibrated. He opened his eyes and took it out to see that it was Xiaowen who had just left a call.

"Xiaowen? What's the matter?"

"Brother Gang, you, have you gone back?"

"Yep."

"Oh, oh, it's okay, I want to go back here too. It's okay, it's okay." Xiaowen's voice was a little timid, she was just a supporting role in an unpopular TV series, and this one was the Cannes best actor on the big screen. The difference is too far away.

Gan Jing responded, and was about to hang up when suddenly he asked, "Are you alright?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Xiaowen said, but then said in a low voice, "It's Director Zhu who has been persuading him to drink. Brother Gan, thank you, and I won't trouble you."

Gan Jing subconsciously replied: "Yes, good."

The phone hung up, and the car returned to calm.

But Gan Jing didn't close his eyes to rest his mind, instead, the eyes of Director Zhu on the table when he was persuading him to drink jumped out of his mind.

After 2 minutes, Gan Jing suddenly said, "Brother Sun, let's go back, I'll pick someone up!"

The driver, Brother Sun, vaguely overheard the conversation on the phone just now, and persuaded him, "Brother Gan, don't make a fuss."

"It's okay, go back, pick up a friend and go with you."

Gan Jing's voice became firmer.
