Chapter 233: Artist Covenant (2-in-1)
diva Xie Xin and first-line singer Xu Wen, the word-of-mouth "Hills" and the suspected national style "Blue and White Porcelain", as well as a young and best supporting actress daughter Gan Jing.
It's very topical!
Media reporters: The bonuses in February seem to have been settled!
However, as far as Gan Jing is concerned, some of his worries are still born, and the filming atmosphere of the "Infernal Affairs" crew that has just run in to the right track after the Spring Festival has been destroyed.
"You say, why does Xu Wen have to face Xie Xin this time?"
"I don't know, I know that Director Gan can live a good life without making movies......"
"I don't know which one Gan Dao prefers?"
"Xu Wen or Xie Xin?"
"I mean 'The Hills' and 'Blue and White Porcelain'. ”
"Can a song talk about 'one'?"
In the days after Xu Wen held a new song conference, Gan Jing heard a lot of crew members chatting intermittently, he didn't want to hear this at all, but there were many people who couldn't stand talking about this, and even Zhang Zhonghui ridiculed him in person.
"Director Gan, the movie can be promoted, and I am more confident. ”
What can Gan Jing say, he can only continue to shoot helplessly - in the subtle gaze of others, in the discussion of others who start chatting while he turns around.
The crew did not stop working, and there was no shortage of directors, leading actors, photographers, makeup artists, etc., but the shooting of the movie really slowed down to a certain extent, especially the instability of the horse hammer began to show.
The role of Han Chen runs through the front and back of "Infernal Affairs", and Ma Hammer's performance status is relatively important.
Gan Jing found Ma Hammer after two days of filming in the slightly chaotic crew, which can be regarded as fulfilling his responsibility as a director.
"Xie Xin's single has affected you, hasn't it?"
Ma Hammer was a little uncomfortable in the face of the director's outspokenness: "No, I've been a little confused about the way Han Chen's role is performed in the past two days." ”
Gan Jing became interested, rubbed his temples and said, "Let's talk about it specifically." ”
"I want to think for myself first. Ma Hammer politely refused.
Gan Jing showed a confused expression, but still respected: "That's okay, of course it is necessary for actors to think about their roles, but if you really can't figure it out, you should also communicate more, this is my experience." You still have a lot of scenes left, and I will try to shoot Xu Wen as much as possible before the end of that month, and strive to send this sister away first. ”
Hammer nodded.
Gan Jing groaned for a while, and then said: "What do you think of Xu Wen and Xie Xin's songs, and what do you think of fans and public opinion in the music world?"
"It's all normal. Well, "The Hills" first, other casual. Ma Hammer obviously let go after the director didn't mention the performance but instead mentioned the music, his expression was no longer restrained, and there was a little arbitrariness in his confident speech.
Gan Jing heard him say this, and he was also a little curious, which song would other singers and listeners prefer?
The next moment, Gan Jing shook his head, even he thought so, but you can imagine the degree of interest of other people, and it is no wonder that the media reporters tirelessly want to continue the interview and want to make an appointment.
"Okay, then you should continue to think more, and don't stay up late at night, otherwise it may affect the state of tomorrow's performance. Tomorrow your scene will continue to be filmed, and this has already been decided. From the day after tomorrow, well, tentatively for a week, and we'll make your shooting plan in the evening of a week at the latest. ”
Gan Jing determined the time and said thoughtfully: "In terms of music, try not to affect the filming of the crew. ”
Ma Hammer couldn't help laughing and said: "It's as if my song is stirring you up, you go and say this to Xie Xin, to Xu Wen and yourself." ”
"Hmmm......"
Gan Jing felt that it made sense, nodded slowly, and slowly paced away, leaving Ma Hammer with a vest but as if with a dignified back.
......
Filming.
Actor communication.
Scene building.
The filming of "Infernal Affairs", which has been good since the Spring Festival, suddenly began to have many problems, and it was also fed back to Gan Jing - because from the time he joined the group to the present, Gan Jing has always been a director who has to take care of everything in detail, so the problems at this moment have all made him careless.
There is public opinion outside, there are problems inside, Gan Jing suddenly felt a little tired, and he tried his best to bring the crew back on track while also thinking seriously about a problem.
Do you need a broker or assistant?
Chu Hui, the assistant originally poached from Baishi Film and Television, has already taken office in the Beijing Blu-ray Culture, and the completion of her work seems to be good.
That, there is actually a lack of an agent/assistant by my side.
At the very least, in the case of being overwhelmed by your phone and often being watched by paparazzi outside the hotel and on the set, the agent/assistant can help you get a new calling card.
"Lao Zhang, do you have a reliable assistant to recommend?"
Gan Jing is accustomed to using local materials, and he immediately called Zhang Zhonghui after determining that one more person to share trivial matters would ease his mood and work, and the actor's connections must be enough.
"Assistant? I don't think I've seen an assistant around you. Zhang Zhonghui was only aware of this kind of detail when he was mentioned like this, and he can't blame him, Gan Jing usually has people around him wherever he goes, but they are all people in charge of different jobs in the crew.
"What do you want?" Zhang Zhonghui said very easily.
Gan Jing thought about it for a while, at that time, he also considered the factor of being able to take care of his daughter when he was looking for an assistant, and now with the second thought of going to kindergarten and finding a nanny in the capital, this factor has been weakened a lot, and in addition, as he gradually becomes famous and busy, the proportion of professionalism seems to be enhanced.
"If you are familiar with movies, if you don't have a strong personality, you can relax in other aspects. Gan Jing feels that there is no need to think about things like propaganda and business for the time being, and his current mood will not rely on that direction much.
"It's not a lot to ask, I'll help you ask. Zhang Zhonghui thought for a while, "Is the time a long-term or short-term transition?"
"If there is no problem with people, it will be long-term, and the cost of time is also a cost, and I am too lazy to change it once I am familiar with it. Gan Jing said.
"No problem. Zhang Zhonghui responded.
Gan Jing hung up the phone, took the script on the coffee table, flipped through it, and felt that he was not in the mood, so he opened the notebook again and wanted to see the comments on today's song, but the various posts on the forum looked boring in the current state of mind.
He shook his head, put the computer down, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and opened the curtains.
However, it is a cloudy day in Hong Kong today, and even the wind blowing in makes people feel a little tight.
Knock, knock, knock.
There was a knock on the door.
Gan Jing is in a good mood, and an effective means of self-emotional regulation is to find something to do.
"Oh, Li Zaoyu, what's the matter?" Gan Jing opened the door, and smiled very kindly with his usual enthusiasm.
Li Zaoyu felt a little weird, but she didn't feel anything strange at once, she went into the room and sat down, and said, "Brother Gan, I want to ask you something." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Gan Jing leaned on the sand, and the body language of the whole person was very stretched.
"Well, Brother Gan, in the past two days, I've been wondering if I'm going to be officially admitted to the school to further my studies. Li Zaoyu frowned and spoke very slowly, "I felt good about skipping classes in Chinese opera before, so ...... After I was faced with the label that I had already been labeled, it seemed like this was the best way out. ”
Gan Jing smiled: "Do you want to be popular?"
Li Zaoyu said without hesitation: "I want to." ”
"Do you know how actresses are popular in the eyes of normal people?" Gan Jing said to himself, "Why is this person on top of the position, she must have slept with the director, slept with the assistant director, slept with the producer, slept with the investment, or had plastic surgery, liposuction, bondage, and hype." ”
Li Zaoyu hesitated, as far as she knew, many people in the circle were really like this, and therefore, after coming into contact with her predecessor Gan Jing, she felt that this one was very different, when she first appeared on "Actor", she relied on her acting skills to advance, and the later works are also real and have solid advantages.
You know, there was a lot of negative press before his comeback - although it was easy to understand because of the unfortunate car accident.
"You said that you want to go to school to further your studies and polish your acting skills, but it is not the best way in the general impression. Gan Jingxian said a lot of words, which really made his mood better.
"Didn't Brother Gan always encourage me that acting is the best thing for an actor to rely on?" asked Li Zaoyu.
Gan Jing nodded and said, "Yes, but basically from this point of view, it is not a very good choice to be admitted to the school." What you need now is not the theoretical ecological environment in the school, what you need is the perception and practice of different roles, and you need to have thinking and collision with the roles. ”
"This kind of ecological environment is difficult to give you in school, and you can't learn the experiential performance method I told you in school. ”
Li Zaoyu was a little distracted, he had saved Brother Gan's teaching video before, but because the phone was broken, only part of it was recovered, what a pity!
She was stunned for a moment, a little dazed: "Then what should I do?"
"The suggestion is always based on the actual situation, at that time you were asked to attend the lecture because your theoretical level was too poor, and now it has been more than a year, so it is better to try different roles. Gan Jing Shi Ran said, "The hacking of the draft will cause the audience to have a very bad impression of you, but the worse this impression is, as long as you have a slightly better role, the contrast is quite large, and it is easier to attract people's attention." ”
Li Zaoyu smiled bitterly: "Brother Gan, you are really comforting. ”
"Whoever comforted you, I mean it. Gan Jingzhu was tireless for a while, his mood improved greatly, and he simply said, "You signed a contract with the company as a casting director, right? ”
Li Zaoyu was stunned.
After a while, her expression changed extremely vividly, and she asked rhetorically, "Artist appointment?"
Gan Jing admired the girl's expression, which should be more intuitive and moving than in her play, and said: "I've been teaching you for a long time, and you don't have anywhere to go anyway, I want to see what it can be." ”
Li Zaoyu was amused by his tone of sheltering homeless small animals, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Gan, aren't you afraid that I will mess up the box office?"
Gan Jing shrugged: "I really always think that the work is the most fundamental, the draft, the fans, the water army, those labels imposed on the body are like a castle built out of sand by the sea, and the tide will disappear as soon as it hits." ”
Li Zaoyu nodded heavily: "Brother Gan is right!"
Gan Jing looked up at the ceiling and continued: "Sign an artist contract, try the role, oh, the company's artists have to be matched with assistants." ”
Li Zaoyu just wanted to open his mouth and say that there was no need to hurry, but Gan Jing took out his mobile phone quickly.
"Hey, Lao Zhang, I just said to help me find an assistant, well, it's not enough now, find more agents, assistants, makeup artists, and operations, and I happen to match artists here. Thank you very much. ”
Gan Jing hung up the phone and didn't put it away, he found the calculator in the phone and began to calculate the budget.
"Brother Gan, don't be in such a hurry, uh, I haven't even signed a contract. Li Zaoyu suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Gan Jing was surprised: "Don't you want to come?"
Li Zaoyu hurriedly said: "Of course I am willing, of course I am willing." ”
"That's okay, just take advantage of Lao Zhang to help me find an assistant and find it for you by the way, otherwise it will be troublesome in the future. A few thoughts flashed through Gan Jing's mind, and said, "Learn more and watch more in "Infernal Affairs", and strive to give you a character to play this year." ”
"Does the company have any plans to invest in another film in the second half of the year?" asked Li Zaoyu with some excitement.
Gan Jing shook his head and nodded: "I didn't have it before, but now I have it." ”
Li Zaoyu was excited in his heart, isn't this obviously because of himself?
"Brother Gan, I'll work hard, I'll be serious!" the girl wanted to make a military order.
Gan Jing smiled and nodded: "Yes, you have to work hard and strive to let me buy a nanny car and change to a bigger house by the end of the year." ”
Li Zaoyu: "Uh......"
"Go ahead, that's it, you contact Chu Hui and study how the contract should be signed. Gan Jing waved his hand and gave the eviction order.
Li Zaoyu got up, and she left the room with some reluctance.
Gan Jing pondered for a moment after waiting for the girl to leave, and the fatigue in his heart had faded a lot because of this time.
The wind blowing into the room from the floor-to-ceiling windows became refreshing, and faintly, some rain gradually dripped between the sky and the earth.
Gan Jing walked to the window and looked at the night view of Hong Kong, and let out a long breath, the things filmed by the crew must be solved one by one, and they can't be impatient.
Everything is quiet.
......
""The Hills" is really good, it really has a taste, and I admire it a little now. ”
"I didn't expect Xie Xin to dare to take such a risk in his first single, and the adventure was successful!"
"It's Xu Wen who really takes the risk, right? I really don't understand why she jumped out like this, she's a werewolf. ”
"Gan Jingzhen should come to the music exhibition, it will definitely be better than the movie exhibition, how old is Ma Hammer, how old is he?"
The popularity of Xie Xin, Gan Jing and "The Hills" in public opinion still exists, and everyone knows that this situation will definitely usher in a peak again after Xu Wen's new song is launched.
On the evening of February 22nd, listeners, reporters, fellow singers and melon-eating people squatted in front of the computer to prepare for the menacing "Blue and White Porcelain" that gave Xu Wen confidence.
