I want to make headlines

Chapter 898 Practicing Myself (Two in One)

Cheers Bar, a celebrity bar.

Because Huang Bo brings people here from time to time, the business of this bar is getting better and better, and because there are more times of appearance here, the guests are a little accustomed to the actors and stars who appear here, and they don't easily disturb them.

It was the first time for Wu Jing to come here, and he felt a little apprehensive and depressed. After all, he had been to so many places.

"Huang Bo, is this Forrest Gump easy to talk to?" Wu Jing sipped a glass, feeling a little irritable.

"It's easy to say, he is the stupid son of the landlord's family." Huang Bo smiled, "But if I don't really have liquidity here, I would have invested directly. For this matter, I can rely on him."

Wu Jing nodded silently. Before he started filming "Wolf Warrior 2", which he wrote, directed and acted in, he had managed to attract investment from various companies.

Like what Huang Bo said just now, he knew it was not an excuse. The money of actors and stars either entered the property market or went to play finance, and they rarely have a lot of liquidity.

Even if it is a film and television company, the current gameplay is to have a preliminary stage, and invite several companies to play together.

However, the film and television company is very cautious when suddenly taking money out of a crew that is shooting in the mid-term, and there is also a problem of short-term capital flow.

Forrest Gump should be an exception.

Those who have more money have gone to build gardens!

"Hey, this guy is here." Huang Bo's voice interrupted Wu Jing's thoughts, and his expression couldn't help tightening.

"Hey, Brother Bo, I haven't seen you for a while, and you are two years older." Gan Jing walked into the bar easily, and smiled at the attention around him, "Hey, Brother Jing, it's the first time we meet, it really looks like you It looks like it came out of the TV."

Wu Jing got up and laughed, and shook his hands: "Then I think you walked out of the big screen, or walked down with the trophy in your hand."

What does it mean to say that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead? This is it.

Wu Jing acted in his first work in 95. At that time, A-Gump probably didn't have any concept of the word actor. Now, he is the best actor and the president of the company. He is almost the No. 1 movie in China.

"Sit down, you two are so polite, come on, drink, Wu Jing is a good drinker, Forrest Gump, you have an opponent this time." Huang Bo said with a big smile, "When will you come to "Extreme Challenge" again? Let's drink for a show."

Gan Jing waved his hand and refused, "That won't work, it will destroy my personality in the hearts of the audience!"

Huang Bo was amused by him: "You have a badass persona, why don't you say it's not a persona when you hate people on Weibo?"

"Can it be the same? My Weibo is all about off-site things. I have a lot of scenes on variety shows. I can play once in a while, and I can still play every day." Gan Jing drank a glass of beer and rinsed off. He opened his mouth, saw Wu Jing's slightly awkward expression in his eyes, and asked directly if he didn't want ink marks.

"What's going on today? I was going to lie in bed and watch a movie to sleep." Gan Jing seemed to guide casually.

"Oh, what movie are you watching? Your own "Scorching Sun"?" Huang Bo was not in a hurry.

"An American 90s musical, just watch it casually. I have a special room for videotapes, so I just pick one from it." Gan Jing said, if he didn't have something to stay up late, he would often Watch a movie before going to bed.

Some movies can become more spiritual the more you watch them, and some have a hypnotic effect, but you don’t have to see anything from them. He just thinks that watching movies is quite interesting.

Huang Bo took a small sip of draft beer and said, "I really have something I want to talk to you about today. Isn't Wu Jing here filming a movie? The book is quite good. I wanted to vote for it, but I was just in Beijing. I bought a house, and money is a bit tight. No, let's talk to you. "

Wu Jing said: "Gump, this time I'm really a bit presumptuous. I didn't want to interrupt, but halfway through filming, the crew found that the budget was a bit tight. I can do whatever I want, but if the film can't be finished, it will be ruined."

Gan Jing understood, it turned out to be such a reason.

Movie budgets are sometimes not taken seriously. When some big directors are looking for a film and television company, they will give a low budget first, and then ask for additional investment after the filming starts. The film and television company can only bite the bullet and continue to pursue investment. .

However, this is obviously not the case for Wu Jing.

"Are you halfway through the filming?" Gan Jing raised his glass and touched Wu Jing, "The budget is tight, the company can't be more eager than you to get money to invest in it? Otherwise, wouldn't it all be in vain?"

Wu Jing smiled wryly and said: "There are quite a lot of companies investing, so they are not in a hurry, and they just want other companies to invest first. However, the cast and actors all have schedules, so it will be difficult if they are delayed."

"How many?" Gan Jing asked curiously.

"14." Wu Jing gave an accurate number.

Gan Jing was taken aback, 14?
Ok? There are as many as 14 companies without Hundred Days Red? ? ?
"You have too much." Gan Jing sighed, "How much is the total investment, and what is the name of the crew?"

"1.5 million, not counting the post-release announcement." Wu Jing is familiar with the numbers of the crew.

Gan Jing was taken aback again, 1.5 companies were found for the 14 million yuan?The average company is just over 1000 million. Considering that it is definitely not an average investment, it means that some companies have invested several million...

Good guy, what about alms.

The films currently produced by Bai Rihong generally look like 2-3 companies, and many of them are purely invested by themselves, and the meat is rotten in their own pots.

"I paid 5000 million yuan myself." Wu Jing continued to complain.

Gan Jing is not surprised anymore, today is enough. Does this number mean that some companies may invest hundreds of thousands?
"How much is the gap now?" Gan Jing glanced at Huang Bo who hadn't spoken since Wu Jing spoke, just in time to meet the smile on his face, and rolled his eyes angrily.

Forrest Gump's is not the first one Wu Jing found, and the figures are all calculated: "It looks like 5000 million. If it is possible, the announcement of Hundred Days Red can be counted in the investment."

Gan Jing frowned, pondered for a while, and said in embarrassment: "There are too many companies here, more than a dozen... Bai Rihong is not used to joining in the fun. By the way, what story are you talking about? What's the name?"

"'Wolf Warrior 2' tells the story of a soldier, a military action movie." Wu Jing replied.

Gan Jing spread his hands: "This kind of movie is not easy to sell." The military movies in the Chinese market can be said to be very small, and in his impression, there are no such works that have a good box office.

If you invest in Hundred Days Red, you won't make much money, and you have to work hard.

Wu Jing's expression was a bit serious. Hearing this, it meant that A-Gump didn't want to invest any more money, and there were indeed relatively few cases of injecting capital after half of the filming.

"You old rich man, it's enough to vote for someone else." Huang Bo spoke at this time.

Gan Jing took a new glass of draft beer and said, "The company also has its own articles of association. How about this? I don't want to go from Hundred Days, and I will inject 1000 million private capital to deal with emergencies. Brother Jing, is it successful?"

Rescue the emergency but not the poor, Gan Jing thinks that this matter is not at the point of poverty, there are still 14 film and television companies over there, each paying several million, this matter will be resolved.

According to common sense, if Huang Bo was not here, Gan Jing would not have voted. Now that the lady from Qingdao is present, his face is worth some money. In addition, Wu Jing is an old man, so he put down his face and came over. It is a favor to be urgent.

Wu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, 1000 million will last for a long time, and the 5000 to [-] million in his mouth is included in the post-publication and so on. Now it is no problem to find someone to gather together, and the filming is completed.

"A-Gump, thank you so much. I will remember this love." Wu Jing stood up and toasted a glass of wine, and drank it on his back. Although it sounds like A-Gump still has a lot of money, he also knows who None of the money came from the wind, so I would really appreciate it if you can help.

Gan Jing didn't put on a show, stood up and took a glass back.

"Come, come, drink." Seeing that the matter had settled down, Huang Bo yelled to stir up the atmosphere. Normal people might be a little embarrassed to borrow money. These two are actors and stars, and the atmosphere is indeed quite subtle.

"Wu Jing, let me tell you, even the Russians admire this Forrest Gump's drinking capacity. Last time I heard him brag, he went to the capital alone in heavy snow, and drank the old man overnight." Huang Bo chatted about interesting things.

Gan Jing shook his head: "Brother Bo, are you making up a joke or something?"

"Didn't you brag about it yourself?" Huang Bo asked back.

Gan Jing feigned anger and said, "I'm not bragging, what's the matter, you still want to fight with me?"

"I don't need me today. Wu Jing is just sitting here. He is my senior brother. I grew up watching his movies." Huang Bo laughed and put his arms around Wu Jing's shoulders.

"Forrest Gump, come, I'd like to respect you." Wu Jing only toasted, and didn't mention the matter of thanks. He felt that it was enough to mention thanks once, and the real thanks were also kept in his heart.

Gan Jing squinted at Huang Bo, clinked glasses with a smile, and drank it in one gulp.

The atmosphere in Cheers Bar is quite good, and the music that will be played here is also quite appetizing. The three of them started to chat about some interesting things in the circle, whether it was Forrest Gump’s experience abroad, Huang Bo’s success in counterattack, or Wu Jing’s insistence on Kung Fu. There was so much they could talk about.

Cup after cup.

Wu Jing drank a dozen or so cups, and his eyes became a little drunk.

"Look back, I'll ask again. If I don't make enough money, I'll sell the house and buy more." Wu Jing burped, and said a little bit of self-releasing.

Gan Jing was taken aback, why did it get to this point, there are still 14 production companies in the production team.

Huang Bo asked for him: "It's not going well today and I took 1000 million, so it's enough to make up whatever you want. Those companies you hired before really don't care about things?"

Wu Jing set up his wine glass and said seriously: "Huang Bo, you don't know the faces of those people, they look like uncles! Why did I come back from Hong Kong? I just don't want to see the faces of those uncles! Why should I become a director myself? I just don't want to Look at the faces of those uncles! Others don't praise me, I praise myself!"

Gollum.

Wu Jing had another glass of wine, he was already a little crazy.

Gan Jing and Huang Bo looked at each other. What he said just now probably came from Wu Jing's heart, but now, the fact is that Wu Jing still has to look at other people's faces.

After all, there are only a few people in the film market who don't need to look at people's faces.

"Hey, what the hell." Gan Jing shook his head, this is going to sell the house to make a movie.

Huang Bo also shook his head. He didn't have much dealings with Wu Jing before, but he was said to be a master with great self-respect.

"Brother Jing, like this, which company did you find for the special effects? My Huaxia special effects technology is good. If you were not here before, change it now. I will pay the company in advance, and wait for your box office to come out. How about paying the balance?" Gan Jing asked.

Immediate payment and deferred payment for several months are completely two concepts, and there is a huge difference between before and after a movie is released. With this change alone, Wu Jing's crew can save at least 2000 million in budget.

Although Wu Jing was a little drunk, he could still hear the words, and he was overjoyed immediately.

Before Gan Jing could finish his sentence, he simply followed through and said, "It was said to be 1000 million before, and now I will personally invest another 1000 million. Brother Jing, don't sell the house now. If you sell it, where will my sister-in-law live?" Well, in this way, your crew budget will be at least 4000 to 500 million more, and Brother Bo will cast another 4000 million, which is almost [-] million. In the end, if there is any shortage, you can make it up yourself, and it will never be enough. "

The arrangement of the speech was very clear, Huang Bo just raised his hand to speak, but A-Gump gave him a glaring look - you called me here, how can you not pull out a dime yourself?
Wu Jing suddenly stood up.

"This..." He breathed out hastily, "Thank you!" A-Gump really gave a lot of charcoal in the snow!
Gan Jing stood up, pressed Wu Jing's shoulders with both hands and pushed him down.

"Brother Jing, to be honest, at the premiere of my "Scorching Sun" the day before yesterday, I said that the audience and the capital should give more opportunities to other movies and make choices. Action military movies are not easy to make, so this is my support It’s a small crowd, so I’m not bragging, and I’m doing it myself.” Gan Jing said sincerely, “I haven’t read the script, but I know the name for the first time, so I’ll just say a word.”

"Brother, don't be fooled."

Wu Jing's face turned red all of a sudden, and he said firmly, "Never fool me!"

"Oh, drink, drink for the 500 million I just took out!" Huang Bo laughed, he was pulling his own 500 million out.

"Wait, wait." Huang Bo shouted again when the three of them raised their glasses, "No, I have to say something, I have to let my 500 million be heard! Good movie cheers!"

"Hey, wait a little longer, Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu, take a picture of the three of us, hurry up."

Gan Jing muttered, "There are too many things."

"Laugh, laugh, laugh for me." Huang Bo urged.

Gan Jing showed a sweet smile, Wu Jing laughed heartily, and the lady Huang Bo laughed profusely.

A photo was posted on his own Weibo by the eventful Huang Bo, and the accompanying text was called:

Cheers to Huaxia's good movies.
