Chapter 196: Young Man
Zhang Zhonghui is really a big name.
It's not easy for any one of the big names.
These are Gan Jing's two thoughts before meeting Zhang Zhonghui, it has been a while since producer Hu Zhuo recommended this actor to play the starring role, and it is a bit strange that the two have their first face-to-face communication until now.
Five-star hotel, eleven am to one o'clock in the afternoon, two hours of meeting time.
As soon as the time passed, Zhang Zhonghui was about to catch a flight to South Korea to participate in a film festival.
"Hello Mr. Zhang, we don't need to be in such a hurry, we can communicate through the phone, and the convenience of technology lies in the flexible use of our fragmented time. ”
At 10:50, Gan Jing arrived at the hotel suite alone, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhang Zhonghui and several reporters who seemed to have just finished interviewing him, which may be from the print media or the Internet.
Zhang Zhonghui is in a suit and leather shoes, very stylish, and the charm of a middle-aged handsome guy is very full, he greeted Gan Jing politely and shook hands to apologize before sending the reporters out of the door.
When he turned around, Zhang Zhonghui took the initiative to shake Gan Jing's hand again, and said with a smile: "When I don't see the director, my heart is always not very steady, but this time I saw Director Gan, my heart immediately became steady." ”
Gan Jing took off his scarf and coat, a little curious: "Could it be that I have a face that makes people safe?"
Zhang Zhonghui laughed, shook his head again and again, and said softly: "No, you have the face of an actor." ”
Gan Jing thinks it's funny in his heart, he sometimes sees others at first glance and is used to labeling, movie face, advertising face, TV face, film and television amphibious face, this feeling is not often said to people, sometimes it is just a personal interest, such as Li Zaoyu, such as Mo Jiana.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for the compliment. Since you are down-to-earth, then I am also down-to-earth. Gan Jing sat down with a smile and thanked the assistant for the hot drink.
"You don't need to call me Mr. Zhang, I'm a few years older, it sounds more comfortable to call me Brother Zhang. I've heard Hu Zhuo mention that you like to drink coffee, and it just so happened that I flew over from the neon yesterday and someone gave me two boxes of Blue Mountain's selected specialty coffee. Zhang Zhonghui took out two boxes from the suitcase, and he took one box and compared it to Gan Jing, "I have a box, you have a box." ”
How else to say that people are big names?
Gan Jing believes that Hu Zhuo and Zhang Zhonghui will never say it over and over again when they talk about themselves, probably because the producer said it in passing, and the actor remembered it.
It wasn't easy, either for his own sake or for the opinion of his team.
Considering the previous actions of Zhang Yingdi's team in public opinion and the proposal to the script, this is most likely the former.
Gan Jing took the coffee handed over by Zhang Zhonghui and said with a smile: "I'll give you a classic role, and you give me a box of coffee, which can be regarded as a courtesy." ”
This was not very polite, a little arrogant, and the faces of the two assistants in the room were a little unconsciously mocking.
However, Zhang Zhonghui feels that this is in line with the vitality of young actors, and he likes this kind of self-confidence.
"It seems that I earned it, and what you received was a small gift, but what I received was a big gift. Zhang Zhonghui showed his importance to the role of the script while talking and laughing, and did not hide his love at all.
"The gift also needs the right person to interpret it, I have seen Brother Zhang's previous works, well, I have seen every one. Gan Jing made up for this homework, and said sincerely, "It's very suitable for playing Liu Jianming." ”
Zhang Zhonghui said with a smile: "Actually, I was quite interested in the role of Chen Yongren after I got the script. ”
Liu Jianming is a good character, and so is Chen Yongren.
When a good actor meets a good role, it is natural that he will be moved.
"Temporary change of role, Director Gan, is it too late?" Zhang Zhonghui asked with a little meaning, and for a while, his expression was a little difficult to tell whether it was a joke or a serious one.
Gan Jing said without hesitation for a second: "I like the role of Chen Yongren very much, if it weren't for him, there might not be this script." ”
Zhang Zhonghui also smiled without hesitation or thinking: "That would be a pity." I'm curious, did Director Gan sketch the characters first and then fill in the plot when writing the script?"
What is a pity? Is it a pity that the script did not appear or is it a pity that Gan Jing expresses the importance he attaches to the role?
Intentionally or unintentionally, a topic of changing roles has passed.
Gan Jing didn't immediately answer the script's question, just laughed.
Zhang Zhonghui was not in a hurry to hear the answer, and also smiled.
The laughter of the two bumped into each other, and they both felt very funny and tacit.
Some things pass with a smile, and without this smile, there may be some moths.
Gan Jing sighed slightly: "There is actually nothing to say about the script, there is a lot of malleability in the role, if the opportunity is right, there will be a second and third part, and in the follow-up, you still have a lot of protagonist roles in the third part." Of course, it depends on your schedule, market reputation and box office status. ”
"It's true that just one story like this isn't enough. Zhang Zhonghui agreed with the approach of the series, "I have been thinking about the character of Liu Jianming when I read the script these days, and now I want to confirm my thoughts with Director Gan." ”
Well, I slept too late last night, and I didn't eat my meal in the morning. Gan Jing said this, and casually took out the storyboard of one of the work results and handed it over, "This is the storyboard of several important scenes, and I also want to communicate with you." ”
"Yes, I happened to be a little hungry too, so I don't have to endure the food on the plane after eating. ”
Eating and talking, watching and talking, two hours passed unconsciously.
Waiting until 12:50, 1:5 p.m., and 1:10 p.m., the assistant reminded me three times, especially the last time, I was a little anxious, for fear that I would miss the flight to the Korean Film Festival.
At 1:20, Gan Jing got on the subway home, and Zhang Zhonghui and his party also sat in the nanny car to the airport.
"Brother, this Gan Jing is a little young, otherwise, I'll let the company find a director, right? He Gan Jing is willing to ask for a name, then let him be famous, and it is normal for two directors to direct together. ”
Zhang Zhonghui looked at his agent, who was also his cousin, and shook his head and said, "No need, this person is very suitable." I had a hunch that it would be fun to play against him. ”
"Interesting?" the agent was a little surprised.
"Hmm. ”
Zhang Zhonghui nodded, closed his eyes and thought, but also rested.
It was only when he was about to get to the airport that he spoke.
"Yes, a very interesting and talented young man. ”
"It's just that the desire to control is a little stronger. ”
