I want to make headlines

Chapter 157 Publicity
Chen Huihong was under a lot of pressure.

As the vice president of a record company, he is used to being a high-ranking conductor. He hasn't brought an artist for a while. When he crossed borders to the mainland and met such a master as Gan Jing, he suddenly began to reflect on what he could bring to Gan Jing.
The relationship is mutual, and Gan Jing seems to have access to more resources than he can give.

So what can I give him as his agent?
After returning to the hotel, Chen Huihong told Zhou Xun about her doubts—the two had known each other for a long time, and they were good friends.

After Zhou Xun listened to Chen Huihong's description of the first meeting, he was silent for a long time.

"Brother Xun, are you still listening?" Chen Huihong heard that there was no response from the phone, so she paused her rambling.

"Well, I'm listening." Zhou Xun's voice was a little dazed, "He's much better than I imagined...in America."

"It's not just much better?" Chen Huihong couldn't hide his surprise for Gan Jing on the phone. Facing his old friend, he revealed his feelings that he couldn't express when he met Gan Jing at the dinner table just now, "How old is he? Starring in a $[-] million blockbuster."

"My God, there is no age limit, how many people can do this?" Chen Huihong became more and more excited, and even a little bit careless about the art of chatting, "Even you have to add several films that you have acted in. Is it okay?"

16 million U.S. dollars, according to the current exchange rate, that is [-] billion yuan.

Chen Huihong suddenly stopped, and Zhou Xun's voice disappeared from the phone again.

The two realized a problem at the same time.

Has Huaxia ever had a movie with a cost comparable to 16 billion?
Chen Kaige's "The Promise" cost $4200 million.

Zhang Yimou's "Curse of Golden Flowers" cost $4500 million.

Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" cost 8000 million US dollars, and it was divided into two episodes.

In the end, Chen Huihong said with a little frustration: "I don't think I can take him, this, this young man is too weird."

Zhou Xun thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "How much is his salary?"

"He didn't say it, but he seemed to mention that the salary is not high." Chen Huihong recalled, "Even so, he was able to play the leading role in a movie with a cost of 16 billion. Is this treatment only available to Jackie Chan? In Hollywood?"

There is definitely no such scale of cost in China, and only Hollywood is a blockbuster at every turn.

Blockbusters, blockbusters, one factor in it is big cost.

Zhou Xun didn't speak immediately, he calmed down, thinking about that guy Gan Jing's expression that he didn't care about signing in the studio, and calmly said: "Old Chen, don't put so much pressure on me, maybe Gan Jing didn't think so much. With his words For these, he can go to any company in the country, but why didn’t he go?”

"Why?" Chen Huihong couldn't help following her train of thought.

"How do I know." Zhou Xun said angrily, "I'm also surprised. However, he has never had a domestic agent, so maybe he doesn't have any requirements for your resources and connections. You just need to be reliable and be able to deal with troubles maturely. He was the biggest help."

"How is it possible?" Chen Huihong no longer had confidence.

It's not that he has little knowledge, it's that there is a special case in front of him.

"Anyway, he agreed, and you're not at a loss. Let's put it this way first, don't put too much pressure on yourself." Zhou Xun ordered, and hung up the phone.

Chen Huihong held the phone in silence for a long time, feeling that you are not the manager of someone, so you have no pressure.

He is destined to toss and turn tonight, and it will be difficult to sleep.

……

Gan Jing didn't even know what kind of trouble he had brought to Chen Huihong, and he was quite satisfied with the dinner they met this time.

Chen Huihong spoke clearly and did not look unreliable, and gave his own opinions on the situation he was facing.

This broker is good.

He didn't know that Chen Huihong, who had starred in 31 movies and TV shows, still had some acting skills—at least, he could cover up his emotional shock and gaffe.

Gan Jing returned home in a happy mood and shared with Gouzi that he would have a second agent, one in the United States and one in the mainland.

Mmmm, so good.

But to his surprise, Gan Jing did not feel the enthusiasm from Chen Huihong in the next few days. He thought that Chen Huihong would find him the next day to continue understanding.

Chen Huihong didn't come, and Gan Jing didn't look for him either. The other party might have something to do. The other party might want to talk to Zhou Xun about the studio. The other party might be as cold as his American manager Andy.

Hey, thinking about it this way, are all agents in the same tune?
Gan Jing hadn't been in contact with too many agents before, so after a little summarization, he forgot about it.

With the arrival of some crew members of "2012", his business has also come.

The sky is extremely blue, the mountains are extremely high, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

This is the snow area, an inseparable part of China.

"Forrest Gump, this place is really beautiful." Director Roland saw the protagonist of his play immediately after arriving in the snow area.

"Yes. But it's my first time here." Gan Jing was also shocked by the scenery.

He hasn't been to many places. He didn't have the money to go there before, and then he didn't have the time to go there. Now that he happened to come here, he really has a feeling of "uncanny workmanship, but that's all".

"Forrest Gump, how do you feel about returning to China?" Roland and Gan Jing asked casually as they walked on the Potala Palace Square, looking up at the distant mountains.

"It's not bad. How did you come to China to shoot the scene?" Gan Jingle chatted.

This time he only made up a few shots, which may be cut later, but as long as there is a possibility, he can only shoot.

In addition to these, more, he entertained the crew members as a landlord.

"The end of the world. As a country with a population of 13 billion, of course we must contribute to such a background, not only contributing to Forrest Gump, but also contributing to Noah's Ark." Roland looked back at the simple and magnificent Potala Palace, and once again Exclaimed: "It's so beautiful! Even if you don't take pictures, it's worth coming here."

"Aha, of course, but Huaxia still has more beautiful scenery, and you can add more Chinese factors in the future." Gan Jing made a small suggestion along the way.

"Yes." Roland shook his head and sighed.

After a while, he replied from the beautiful scenery and said: "The shooting of the snow area will be finished soon. Because of the delay before, we also took on the task of promoting this trip. The time is very tight."

"I heard what Larry said." Gan Jing nodded, and then said, "But my contacts in China are relatively shallow. Well, it would be better if I went to Hong Kong."

Roland shook his head: "This film has been approved to be released in China. This time, our own channels will play a role. You will be the main body."

Is there a better publicity point for a Hollywood blockbuster to be released in China than if the protagonist is a Chinese?
No!
