Chapter 287: Mr. Twenty Million
Gan Jing has a simple impression of CCTV host Chao Yan, who is sunny, talkative, bright and smooth, and knows a little about movies.
As for "Seeing Asia" hosted by her on CCTV, she politely said at that time that she would go back and take a look, but the politeness stopped at politeness.
"I remember that your show seems to have invited our company to shoot a video?" Gan Jing asked something, "Is it still the same way this time?"
"No, as an official guest, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" is phenomenal, and this year it is only behind the Chinese-foreign co-production "Miracle Comes", and it was shortlisted for the Beijing Film Festival with 9 nominations. Chao Yan smiled, "Last time I said I hoped to interview you on the show, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon." ”
Gan Jing reminded: "I haven't agreed yet." ”
"Why not? Our show has a good influence, doesn't your company want to show "Infernal Affairs" more in front of the judges of the film festival?" Chao Yan said.
This is good, but his own preferences are the decisive factor, and there is no fluctuation in Gan Jing's heart.
Chao Yan raised her voice slightly: "You don't know that the production director of our show is one of the judges of this jury, right?"
"Arrange as soon as possible. Gan Jing still spoke unhurriedly.
Chao Yan smiled: "It's really realistic." Hey, wait, you don't really know, do you?"
"I'm still busy, just contact my agent directly. Gan Jing gave a rather formal response.
"I thought we were friends, do we need to be so official?" Chao Yan complained.
"Huh. ”
The phone hangs up.
"Seeing Asia" is a CCTV special column, focusing on outstanding people in the Asian region like the name, or exploring the achievements of guests, or positioning the industry development represented behind it.
This time, Chao Yan's invitation to Gan Jing on behalf of the column group was actually a job that she took the initiative to stop, and behind it was the production director Zhuo Xing's interest in Gan Jing, who had performed well recently.
After the two sides reached a preliminary agreement, the recording time of each other was determined quickly.
On Friday, December 5th, at the recording site of the CCTV headquarters building, three people came to Beijing Blu-ray Culture, Gan Jing and his agent He Yue and a newly recruited assistant.
Simple greetings, debugging equipment, and the audience entered.
Because there is a lot of room for recording and broadcasting adjustments, there is no too rigid dialogue in advance, Gan Jing just glanced at the list of questions, which are all very routine questions.
Recording begins.
"Hi, audience friends in front of the TV, in this issue I invited my old friend, who is also the star of the recently popular "Infernal Affairs" Gan Jing. ”
Applause.
Gan Jing got up from the single sofa and bowed slightly, but there was a little label in her heart about her as an "old friend", heh, woman.
"Hi, Gan Jing, meet again, do you remember your old friend Chao Yan?" the host Chao Yan greeted the guests of this issue after the audience greeted them.
Oh, woman.
Gan Jing smiled without any flaws: "How can you not remember your old friend?"
His smile was so bright, his tone was so sincere, and his expression was so easy-going, no one could tell that Gan Jing and Chao Yan had only met once, and even Zhuo Xing, the production director who watched the recording later, muttered a little, Xiao Chao and Gan Jing are friends? Why didn't she say it before?
Oh, actors!
Chao Yan said with an unchanged smile: "That's good, I'm afraid that you will forget your old friend immediately after you become popular, first of all, congratulations to you on the box office result of "Infernal Affairs" of 980 million, will there be some regrets that you almost got 1 billion?"
Gan Jing shook his head and said: "No regrets, say it's a little, in fact, there are 20 million, fight for next time." ”
The host did not dwell on this problem, but popularized the data for the audience: "The three works starring Gan Jing have won close to 200 million, 72 million, and close to 1 billion respectively, and each of them is making considerable profits for the Beijing Blu-ray Culture Company he founded, especially, the outstanding performance of "Infernal Affairs" is to make the film and television industry remember the name of such an actor in 2012. ”
Gan Jing silently waited for Chao Yan to finish speaking, and he raised his hand slightly when the host looked at him: "Blow lightly, blow lightly." ”
The audience laughed from the audience, and the guest was still quite funny and natural, and there was no nervousness at all.
Chao Yan glanced at Gan Jing and asked, "Many viewers said that you performed the scene on the rooftop in "Infernal Affairs", what do you think of it?"
"Lao Zhang, well, Zhang Zhonghui and I played together is the reason why this scene can be remembered by the audience, and I personally like this part. Gan Jing said generously, and did not deny that "the performance was amazing", but he did not forget another hero.
Chao Yan smiled: "Many viewers said that Chen Yongren's eyes were particularly good when he saw his boss Huang Zhicheng falling in front of him, what do you think?"
Gan Jing vaguely felt a hint of familiarity, but said without much thought: "That's right." ”
The host on the stage paused slightly, nodded, and continued to ask: "Lu Wei is called 'the first blow' by many netizens, what do you think about this?"
Gan Jing finally understood, he took a deep look at Chao Yan, is this the host who came back from Zhihu's study?
"I am good friends with Lu Wei, he is a very good actor, I am very grateful for his wonderful performance in "Infernal Affairs", as for 'Gan Blow', well, I haven't read Lu Wei's statement, I hope everyone will tell me truthfully in the future. ”
Chao Yan saw Gan Jing's face very calmly, and for a while she really couldn't figure out whether Lu Wei was the first Gan to blow or he himself, this horse was too comfortable to speak, didn't he have the meaning of laughing at all?
The host ended the very stylish Q&A, she put down the hand card, and said with a smile: "The questions just now were all asked by the audience, and I guess your answer will satisfy them." Now I have a personal question, for you, if there is a bad movie with a salary of 20 million and a classic role with a zero salary, which one do you choose?"
Gan Jing replied without hesitation: "Twenty million." ”
This decisive answer surprised Chao Yan a little, and she asked: "As far as I know, your first play was to use your house pledge to obtain funds, and you also took the script to various companies by yourself, and then there was "When Happiness Knocks on the Door". ”
Gan Jing nodded slightly: "What does this have to do with the conditions you just said?"
"I mean, in that impression and in what I've learned, you're a person who emphasizes the quality of the film and the characters, and you should choose the latter. Chao Yan explained.
"Well, I don't know if that's going to happen, if I had 20 million, I could accomplish a lot with that money. Gan Jing shrugged, "In that case, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" won't be so troublesome to film, even if people don't have money to do what they like, it's good, let alone after having money." ”
Chao Yan nodded, and the audience listened quietly.
"I don't mind saying that, I kind of like the feeling of being rich, but it's more important what you do when you have money. Gan Jing thought for a while, and then said, "In addition, the conditions you just mentioned, bad movies and classics, I don't think they may be absolute, business and art are sometimes quite opposed, everything depends on the situation." ”
Gan Jing said this, facing the camera and saying something that impressed the audience.
"Give me 20 million, and I can play the value of 20 million. ”
