Chapter 705 The right to speak

Film critics are sometimes a group that people love and hate. To a certain extent, they have mastered the content of the media's pages and have a considerable part of the right to speak.

Watching movies is life for audiences and work for them.

Criticizing or discrediting a movie is often part of the job.

"Forrest Gump is losing the thoughtfulness that he is famous for. I can't see other praiseworthy elements in this film except playing with those superficial things. Oh, maybe, I can say that the soundtrack of the film is still good."

In Hundred Days Red's office, Old Chen read the comments from the American film critic Mick sternly.

Gan Jing listened intermittently, turned over the document in his hand, and waited until there was no sound before asking, "Have you finished reading?"

"Yeah." Lao Chen tapped the touchscreen and said, "Here's another article."

"Don't read it, don't respond for now." Gan Jing was not affected, "Let Andy check later, maybe it's the guy who took Warner's money."

"Hey, film critic, film critic, film critic." Lao Chen shook his head, he was more upset than the person involved, "Let's buy some too, and check the Rotten Tomatoes score by the way."

When the movie "Love What I Love" was first released, Rotten Tomatoes, a famous American film review website, scored 8.2 points, but now it has dropped to 7.1 points. There was a stumbling block behind.

"Scores are nothing to buy. The box office is the biggest feedback from the audience." Gan Jing thought about it, but still felt that it was unnecessary. If he was a young actor, he still needed to take care of it, but now he doesn't need to worry too much.

Lao Chen didn't come here today just to read those film reviews, he reported on other aspects of the company's work: "The filming of "Returning to 20" has already been halfway through, there is no problem with Zhou Shen, and it is expected to be released in the first half of next year. "

"The signing of new artists is still being discussed, and the opposite studio doesn't want to let them go."

"Hu Ge is filming a TV series, and it is almost over. According to Tang Ren, he is very optimistic about this "Langya Bang"."

Gan Jing listened quietly, and didn't feel that there was anything he needed to decide for himself, but he still needed to understand the company's affairs. He was busy with announcements and releases for a while, so he didn't notice some changes.

"How's the response from my junior sister? The Beijing Opera Club?" Gan Jing asked a question of habitual concern, noncommittal about the content of the report.

"Tan Shan's image is not bad. The company is preparing to let her show her face in front of young audiences in "Everyday Upward" or "Happy Camp". It’s okay, I think the profit in the data is rising.” Lao Chen is concerned about these things, as the saying goes, what’s good at the top must be good at the bottom, that’s all.

Gan Jing tapped on the desk lightly, thinking: "I will make an appearance in Peking Opera at least once a year, maybe in the middle of the year or at the end of the year. When their influence is higher, they will still go abroad. I hope it's an outside invitation rather than spending money."

Lao Chen nodded and did not express his opinion. The operation of the Beijing Opera Club has always been relatively independent.

"By the way, you said just now that you signed a contract with a new artist, but the other side doesn't want to let him go? Which company is it?" Gan Jing recalled the report he had heard just now.

"It's Yang Mi's studio." Lao Chen said, "She signed a lot of people in her own studio. After this casting contact, Zhou Shen is very optimistic about her sub-reba, and strongly recommends that we sign her."

"Strongly recommend..." Gan Jing frowned. Lao Chen's words are sometimes very particular. What does this mean?But I have never heard of this artist's name before, and I have no cooperation with Yang Mi.

In his impression, Yang Mi seems to be similar to Zhou Dongyu in the company, but the other party has set up his own studio, and he is also the boss.

Old Chen continued: "By the way, during the contact process, I got to know Li Juan, who is a good player. She had ten years of experience in PricewaterhouseCoopers."

Gan Jing was a little surprised. PricewaterhouseCoopers is a partner of Bairihong, but it is not limited to the company. Whether it is his own foundation or Zhou Gongzi's charity fund, this one of the world's four major accounting firms has Provided professional services.

As for the foundation, the market is quite chaotic, and the country has policy loopholes to exploit. Gan Jing does not want any problems in this area, so he has always cooperated with the most professional companies.

"She is in the position of a senior partner, and she has a deep understanding of capital crossover." Lao Chen continued.

Gan Jing understood what his partner meant, blinked, and said with a smile, "Dig here?"

"Dig it here." Lao Chen nodded. He discovered that the high-level executive opposite him was a talent during the contact process, so he was moved not only to scout out artists, but also to dig out the hearts of high-level executives. However, the position of such an executive needs to be confirmed by the boss.

Gan Jing had no opinion and gave Lao Chen the right to make a decision.

In the past two years, Lao Chen has become more and more professional about the company's affairs. Gan Jing will pay more attention to the project of film and television works.

However, while he continued to wait for the box office of "Love What I Love", the American [Forrest Gump is Here] company had the intention of starting a new project, and the intention of a new script was sent here.

Although the box office of the movie currently being released has not yet been settled, everyone knows that this movie will be profitable, and the Hollywood giants responded in advance.

The right to speak.

Before shooting the movie "Love My Love", Gan Jing added a lot of Chinese elements, and even used Hu Ge, a face unfamiliar to Western audiences. This right to speak is not only related to his investment, but also a part of his previous films The accumulation of word-of-mouth and box office, otherwise Paramount and Fox would not have accompanied it like this.

Now that they are about to make money and share money, the giants naturally want to continue to cooperate.

It happened that many film critics judged Forrest Gump's works, and Paramount executives were moved.

In the past two years, the development of Paramount has not been very smooth. Except for the "Transformers" series as a facade, other works have not been well received. This "Love What I Love" is a highlight of this year.

Cooperate, win prizes, and boost morale.

These are some intentions that Gan Jing obtained from the American company. Paramount wanted to take advantage of the good cooperation they had just had to create an award-winning work. One of the conditions was to use Paramount's name throughout.

"Hmm, serious subjects, shady scenes? Tax evasion? Challenges?"

Gan Jing held the document in his hand and thought about it. Paramount wanted to finalize the cooperation before even writing the specific script. It was serious and ironic, and catered to Oscar's political correctness to a certain extent.
