Chapter 533 Looking for a Photographer

Under the current circumstances, the crew of "BJ Meets Seattle" first needs to confirm a photographer who can hold the scene.

Both the studio and Anle provided reference candidates for this position, but Gan Jing only wanted to find the best, such as Gu Changwei, Lu Le, and Zhao Yiding.

These few are all people who have proved themselves with their works, and most of them have the titles of great directors. Works such as "Farewell My Concubine", "If You Are the One" and "Heroes" are all produced by them. Great cooperation.

But when Gan Jing got their calls and called them one by one, he didn't get any positive feedback.

Studio testing the waters?Rookie director?

The three people Gan Jing sought out were veterans in the film industry. They didn't even need to listen to the introduction to know the situation of the crew, and then happily chatted about other movie topics and possible cooperation in the future.

It is also a common thing in the industry to take pictures and lead them well. For example, Zhang Yimou, who was born in photography, is one of the most successful transformations.

These three also have such thoughts, and facing a fresh Oscar winner, they naturally think about the future, not to mention that the current A-Gump Studio seems to have a good financial flow, the prospects are still quite bright, and they may still be able to become A capital pusher.

After a round of phone calls, I heard a lot of good words, but there was no substantive result, and Gan Jing couldn't help but feel a headache.

How should this be done?The most outstanding photographers in China are probably all in this tone, right?
Or, try foreign ones?

Gan Jing was a little hesitant. He was not only hesitant about whether to find a photographer from abroad, but also whether he wanted to increase the price to spend money on top domestic photographers.

If you can spend money, it will certainly increase the possibility, but since you are in the circle, it is best to follow the rules. If the market is what it is, then give it what it is. It doesn't matter if it is a little more, but it is not good to throw it without thinking up.

If the studio's first film production starts like this, how will it go in the future?
After thinking about it, Gan Jing still couldn't make up his mind. During this period, Wu Xibo took the initiative to call and asked about the start time. The two chatted about the script, and finally Gan Jing told him that the start time would be around mid-April.

The problem of the photographer has been delayed for two days, but the other aspects are progressing well. There are no problems with the supporting roles, props, and costumes. Gan Jing followed up and contacted Andy from the United States by the way.

Although Gan Jing returned to China, he could still hear the exact news from Andy from Warner from time to time. At present, the group is indeed in turmoil. Jeff, the president of Warner Pictures, is a man of skill. He has won enough struggles in the parent company Support, trying to grasp more rights.

In addition to the power shock within the group, Legendary Pictures, which Warner had cooperated with for several years, also collapsed.

The current struggle is still relatively fierce, and there is no winner or loser for the time being. Warner has no time to intervene in A-Gump's affairs, but whether it is Kevin or Jeff, they are also happy that Forrest-Gump will not get involved in this muddy water, so as to avoid side effects.

Of course, Andy can still help A-Gump's Huaxia crew to film in the United States.

Gan Jing then supervised the passports and visas of the crew members who had been confirmed in China, while continuing to look for positions such as photography and art director.

After searching for a long time, Gan Jing finally found Hao Rong.

The two chatted on the phone for a long while before Gan Jing revealed his intentions: "Old Hao, let's talk about the dinner appointment later. Now we have a serious business. Please recommend me a great photographer who is in your drama. My side For the crew."

"It's our Chinese opera." Hao Rong corrected it, and then replied briskly, "Are you sure you want me to recommend a photographer from the direct line of Chinese opera?"

"Yes." Gan Jing admitted.

Hao Rong laughed "haha", and said in a voice that A-Gump was afraid he might not be able to hear clearly: "There is no photography major in Chinese opera."

"..." Gan Jing was speechless.

"Then what are you talking about with me in such a hurry these days?"

Hao Rong said without arrogance or impetuosity: "Talk about movies, courses, crew building...do you need me to review it again?"

"No need." Gan Jing was a little depressed and wanted to hang up the phone, but was stopped by Hao Rong.

"Although we don't have any Chinese opera, I can ask a friend for you." Hao Rong laughed again, "Bao Dexi, I have a good relationship with him."

Gan Jing had a little impression of this name, he vaguely saw it on the list, and after thinking about it, he remembered the origin of this name, a Hong Kong photographer who had worked with Ang Lee, Tsui Hark, and Chen Kaige.

"This is also a big name, then you can help me ask, heck, tell him about the situation of my crew." Gan Jing replied.

Hao Rong thought for a while and said, "Your play crew, it doesn't cost a lot of money, and a famous photographer may not really want to go, but Bao Dexi, he has something you can help with."

"Oh?" Gan Jing became interested.

"He has been very interested in special effects in the past two years. Don't you have the Huaxia special effects? I think you two can talk about it. He wants to try directing movies. If the special effects are done first, it will be easy for him. Pull up the crew."

"Well, you should say hello to him first, and then I'll call and chat." Gan Jing said.

"no problem."

Hanging up the phone here, Gan Jing immediately searched for Bao Dexi's detailed information on the Internet, thinking about how to chat with this person later, so as not to be simply "admired for a long time" without being able to say something.

When the morning was almost over, there was a knock on the office door, and it was Zhou Dongyu who came in.

"What's the matter?" Gan Jing nodded at her and asked.

Zhou Dongyu put his hands behind his back, and sat across from Uncle Gan's desk with a smile: "Busy?"

Gan Jing sighed, and pointed to the messy materials on the table: "What do you think?"

"Oh." The girl put her hands on the table, and pushed an exquisite box in her hand, "For you. Then Uncle Gan will be busy."

"What is this?" Gan Jing glanced at it, buried his head in flipping through the materials, and called out to Zhou Dongyu, "What about your next film, it's not easy to find a suitable script for you, I discussed it with Lao Chen , you can try a remake. Here are a few pretty good films, you can take a look and you can get some impressions in your heart. I'm still thinking about it."

Zhou Dongyu took it over in a daze: "A remake? Hasn't someone made it? Is it good at the box office? There is a watch in the box, and I gave it to you, so you won't forget me when you wear it often."

Gan Jing's teeth gritted for a while: "Cough, okay. Remake or not, as long as you act well, at least you won't lose money at the box office. Success, let's just say that, I'm still waiting for a call."

The girl pursed her lips, and looked down at the list in her hand. There were movies from Korea, Japan and the United States marked on it, and there were quite a lot of options.

It looks like it was specially made by the studio for himself... Zhou Dongyu's mood suddenly improved a bit.
