I want to make headlines

Chapter 899 Irony (Two in One)

Gan Jing and Wu Jing, who had just met for the first time, had a good night of drinking. Well, to be more specific, it should be that he had a good time, but the other party was in a little pain. Most of the time in the second half of the night was vomited in the bathroom.

However, Wu Jing, who slept until noon the next day, felt that the wine that night was probably the most worthwhile drink.

At this point in time, the budget of the film crew was 4000 million more, A-Gump injected 2000 million private capital, and the special effects deferred payment was 2000 million. This was a great help. At least, the house did not need to be mortgaged.

Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, Wu Jing wondered for a moment whether he had drunk too much and misheard yesterday. This money is easier than getting money from any film and television company before.

Ding dong, mobile WeChat.

"Brother Jing, the above is Yu Bin from our company's film and television department. I asked him to add you. He will follow up and implement the 2000 million investment. If there is any unexpected situation, just tell me directly on WeChat."

The content of WeChat is like the sunshine outside, Wu Jing thought about how to reply for a while, and then he seemed sincerely grateful.

Ding dong, the second WeChat message has been sent.

"I wish Brother Jing's new work a great box office sale~"

Wu Jing breathed out, didn't hesitate anymore, didn't say much, and replied four words directly: "Thank you Forrest Gump."

"Brother Jing is too polite."

The wechat exchange ended here, and their mobile phones temporarily returned to calm.

As Gan Jing said, the investment in Wu Jing's movie "Wolf Warrior 2" came from a private account, but the person in charge of this matter still had to come from his own company. Liu Tao, who was originally in charge of developing foreign channels in the film and television department, was transferred I went to Hangzhou to take charge of the "Gaiyuanzi" project, and now Yu Bin, who is also a veteran in the industry, is on top.

Both of them have been promoted. Bairihong has followed Liu Tao to the past ten people. They will determine the general style of Hanggang Film and Television Theme Resort, and will always maintain the interaction and communication between the two sides, and choose those who have not passed. Naturally, it will take on more responsibilities.

This is the advantage of the company being in the rising development period. Each has a choice and is very satisfied.

"Brother Gan, I remembered something." Su Chixia was the assistant who replaced Ah Wen. Gan Jing felt that she was doing well now, but there was only one thing that he needed to get used to.

This face is still not as used to Ah Wen in front of his eyes. Sometimes Gan Jing would call the wrong name when speaking.

"What's the matter?" Gan Jing only had a hangover but not a hangover. After taking a short break, he even went to the company for a tour before returning to the villa.

Su Chixia passed by Lazy Gouzi, knelt down and patted its head before bringing the tea to the boss, and said with a smile: "Recalling that I heard that Zhang Weijian was at a low point for a while, and the house was about to be cut off. Liu Dehua helped him, and directly gave him a check to help him through the difficulties. Brother Gan, is this true?"

Gan Jing flipped through the documents, without raising his head, he said, "I don't know if it's true, I haven't gone to verify it."

After he finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and said, "It should be true, Hua Tsai has nothing to say."

"I think Brother Gang's helping Wu Jing this time is like that." Su Chixia, as her name suggests, was once fired by another film and television company for acting out of justice.

Gan Jing rubbed his neck in a normal way when he heard this kind of praise, and said: "This is indeed a help to Wu Jing, but it's not that exaggerated. I invested 2000 million, which is not much. The production team spends money like water." have to."

Su Chixia was not happy anymore: "No, Brother Gan, there is still money for special effects. There are 4000 million inside and outside, and we will only share 2000 million when we make money. This does not show the state."

Gan Jing laughed at it: "Can he make money with this subject? It's very difficult to shoot, so don't think about that for now, help me determine the next itinerary."

The initial box office results of "Scorching Sun" were good. Regarding this matter, Gan Jing can rest assured and wait for the final result.

Then, a matter that requires him to come forward is officially placed in front of him.

The Beijing opera documentary "The End of Oriental Art" directed by the non-famous director Mr. Yang Aiyan won a box office of 340 million US dollars when it was released in the United States.

Obviously, the non-famous director Yang Aiyan can't handle this kind of thing alone, so the world-renowned Chinese actor Comrade Gan Jing is needed to come forward.

For a movie aiming to chase awards, the first thing it needs to solve is a problem, nominations.

The shortlist for 17 will be announced in December this year. Gan Jing had asked Andy to do public relations work in this area before, but for the sake of stability, both he and Andy felt that it was necessary to show up and make a big splash. Judges who understand oriental art - this is a documentary that Forrest Gump participated in, it is really an art!I'm not fooling you!
This is not a joke. Among all the judges of the Oscars, there are probably very few people who have heard of the term Peking Opera. I don’t know if there are dozens of people who really understand this art. This number must include the Chinese among them.

"Brother Gang, it will take two days for Givenchy to come over the day after tomorrow to shoot the new style, and one day for the company's project. In order to prevent any other incidents, the air ticket will be booked on November 11, okay?" Su Chixia flipped through the itinerary. It is not difficult to arrange the itinerary, but it is easy for sudden events to squeeze out the scheduled ones.

Once they are squeezed out, they have to coordinate the things that were originally set. This is what Su Chixia has done the most since taking over from Ah Wen as an assistant.

"no problem."

Su Chixia carefully made a double copy of the itinerary, and then started to arrange various things at a distance from the boss, the company's side, the American side, the European endorsement... people sit at home, and global things come.

Keeping busy all this time, keeping her voice at a distance from disturbing the boss, Su Chixia didn't finish her work until eight o'clock in the evening.

"Boss, can this Peking opera win an Oscar in the United States? If it wins, Yang Aiyan will become a famous director right away?" Su Chixia always had a question in her heart.

When it comes to Beijing opera, there are fewer and fewer people in China who understand it. Bai Rihong suddenly picked up a documentary and went straight to the Oscars in the United States. Isn't this a big deal?
Can you really win an award?That's a lot of trouble!

Faced with his assistant's doubts, Gan Jing, who put the documents aside, was not surprised. This kind of doubt is probably shared by many people, even the members of the Tan Family Peking Opera Club probably don't believe that they can win the award.

"Xiao Su, so, this time when you and I go to the United States, besides the task of assistant, you also have a task." Gan Jing sat down at the dining table unhurriedly, "You just use such a small DV To document our process of preparing for the Oscar documentary."

Su Chixia didn't speak, there were question marks all over her forehead.

"The Oscar for Best Documentary Feature Film, it's not big, it's not small, at least it has the name of Oscar, just with this title, the documentary will be able to sell a lot when it returns to China and is re-released. Don’t even think about the judges in the United States, they must not understand Peking Opera.”

"However, I understand them. Dollars in the left hand and fame in the right hand, it's relatively easy to pry out the shortlist. Andy and the others have been working hard for their money. Fame, my name has already been typed out, online videos, interviews All of them have been released, this trip is to consolidate and consolidate, after all, after being shortlisted, there is still competition.”

"I asked you to record this process. I think it's interesting. More than 6000 Oscar judges who don't understand Peking Opera selected a Peking Opera documentary under the pressure of public relations. Isn't it interesting?" Gan Jing smiled.

Su Chixia looked at the boss who couldn't stop talking about Beijing opera, and replied in a daze, "I don't think it's interesting, but it just seems ironic. It's the most famous movie award anyway!"

Gan Jing curled his lips and yawned: "Who is it satirizing? Is it an Oscar that needs public relations and people like Weinstein, or is it satirizing a domestic art that needs other countries' awards to promote?"

Su Chixia was stunned again.

"Dinner, dinner." Gan Jing knocked on the dining table.

Dinner is simple.

Matsutake mushrooms, omelets, and chicken soup noodles. This is ready for lunch and only needs to be reheated briefly. Although it is simple, it is because the taste of the ingredients themselves is already attractive enough.

Matsutake mushroom is a wild edible fungus, plump and delicious, with a self-sufficient aroma.

The omelette is topped with lobster and caviar, and when you bite into it, the money is burning.

Chicken soup noodles, mellow old hen, rich soup mixed with the taste of Codonopsis pilosula.

It took Gan Jing 15 minutes to resolve the battle, and finally commented: "Not bad."

Su Chixia opened her mouth, wanting to claim credit for the difficulty of ordering the dishes, but she closed her mouth again, saying that what's the use of this, the boss's eating efficiency is not a glutton.

"I think, if we record the process of pushing Peking Opera documentaries all the way up, maybe we can compete for the next year's documentary." Gan Jing was in a good mood after eating and drinking, "That would be even more ironic."

Su Chixia didn't answer immediately, but after thinking silently for a while, she popped out a sentence: "This is exercising the satirical function of the movie."

Gan Jing was taken aback for a moment, and laughed heartily, almost to the point of tears.

"Don't, don't, don't add functions and functions to movies indiscriminately."

"Movies are movies."

……

"Drinking Mom a bowl of wine before leaving, I am full of courage."

"Hatoyama hosted a banquet and made 'friends' with me. Thousands of cups and ten thousand lamps will socialize."

On the flight to Los Angeles, Su Chixia heard A-Gump humming a few words from time to time. Not all of them could be understood by her, some of them were catchy and interesting, while others were quite noisy.

When it was about to land, Su Chixia heard the boss sing these few lines again with great interest, and finally said curiously: "Brother Gan, these few lines are quite suitable for the occasion, and you can socialize with thousands of glasses."

Gan Jing pursed his lips and smiled, still humming, but didn't answer.

It was already night when we arrived in Los Angeles. The airport was brightly lit, but it was pitch black in the distance.

"The temperature here at night is lower than I expected." Gan Jing reached out to take the coat handed over by his assistant, rubbed his face, and regained his energy.

"Forrest Gump, you are so successful in Asia, I'm afraid you will forget about Hollywood." Andy slapped the Asian superstar on the shoulder as soon as he met.

Gan Jing said with a smile: "How could I forget the scenery of Hollywood, this year I was on stage to win the Oscar. Why? I don't want to win the record award."

A group of people walked and chatted, which caused many passers-by to stop and take pictures.

"I think you need to take another movie that hits the best actor or the best picture." Andy complained slightly, "The earliest other people transform is when they are 50 or [-] years old. You will immediately become a pure behind-the-scenes."

"Don't tell me, I just finished a movie in China, and I acted quite comfortably." Gan Jing was talking about "I want to go to court". During the filming, he and Zhou Xingxing's rivalry scenes were always very comfortable. .

"Forrest Gump, you are a global superstar." Andy emphasized.

Gan Jing smiled "hehe" and said, "I'm still the richest man in the world."

Andy was quiet, the garden master, the theme park tycoon, and Forrest Gump, the giant who spent money without blinking an eye, said that he would build a garden if he said he would build a garden. This was all witnessed by himself, and it was so terrifying.

"Hey, what's the matter with love." Andy couldn't help it.

Gan Jing comforted: "I'm not Xiying anymore, the main reason is that I haven't found any suitable notebooks."

Andy shook his head, and began to report on Yang Aiyan's release of his work in the United States. He has been in charge of the whole process here, and he is also experienced in public relations activities. So far, the response has been good.

"Are you certain of being shortlisted?" Gan Jing asked.

"According to the previous survey, it should be okay." Andy paused and said, "But it may be difficult to pay back. The halo of an Oscar documentary is not easy to cause waves in the American film market, and the collection of videotapes is not easy. Not much to say."

Gan Jing nodded, this is normal, many people may have an impression of the best actor and actress every year, but the next awards, documentaries, film editing, costume design, unless they are concerned about, they will be awarded on the spot. Watch the excitement, and soon forget it.

Of course, for an individual, one such halo is enough to last a lifetime.

If Yang Aiyan wins the award, he returns to China and publishes a draft, and his reputation will explode in an instant. The impression of passers-by and the current cliff are heaven and earth, but the directing ability is another matter.

Gan Jing has no plans to let this guy direct independently. One is the flaw in his ability, and the other is that he needs to be trained psychologically.

"How is Yang Aiyan?" After getting into the car, Gan Jing cared about his director Miao Zi.

"The mental state is unstable, sometimes very excited, sometimes very depressed." Andy gave a description.

Su Chixia, who was sitting next to her, laughed out loud. If she didn't know the cause and effect, it would sound like describing a mental patient.

Gan Jing glanced at it, and roughly understood what his assistant was laughing at. He nodded, "Let's meet him tonight, and he must be vaccinated first, so don't come to Fan Jinzhongju to have fun."

"If you win the exam, you will be a famous director." Su Chixia said.

"Hmph, it's far away." Gan Jing commented indifferently.
