Gan Jing is an actor.

Gan Jing is not an ordinary actor.

He is neither a child star nor a professional class, although he has debuted for a few years, he is still less qualified than his predecessors.

However, he has a box office, "Mei Lanfang", "2012", "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko", "Beautiful Mistake", "Crazy and Stupid Love", "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" and "Untouchable" These films together have a global box office of more than 10 billion Chinese coins.

What is this concept?

Last year, the domestic films and imported films released in China were tied together to calculate the box office results, and the total was 10.1 billion!

Gan Jing's achievements in the past few years have accumulated enough to reach the box office of the whole country for an annual year!

What's more, he is also recognized as an acting artist, the third actor in China to win the cup in Cannes, and the first actor to be nominated for an Oscar!

On weekdays, Forrest Gump has a good temper and never puts on a show, but this does not mean that he has no deterrent effect when he speaks.

It is in this crew, that is, with Ang Lee, that the international director can vaguely overpower him.

However, for what Gan Jing said, Ang Lee, who sat behind the camera early, did not say anything, nor was he dissatisfied.

Li An doesn't speak, Forrest Gump is the boss.

All the staff on the set immediately shut up, vaguely feeling the strange atmosphere today, Forrest Gump, who never put on a show, actually ...... Well, it's scary, too.

The originally noisy set was suddenly quiet, even silent, except for the sound of manual preparation and machine fiddling from time to time.

A little farther away, assistant director Zhao Daming frowned, bent down and asked Ang Lee, who was sitting, "Director Li, Forrest Gump is this?"

Li An waved his hand and did not speak.

The assistant director straightened up, a little unhappy in his heart, although he knew that Forrest Gump was no longer a big-name actor who could be easily handled, he was still a little unaccustomed to it.

As an old man who has been following Ang Lee, when he was talking and laughing with big actors in Hollywood, this Forrest Gump hadn't debuted yet, let's keep quiet?

If Gan Jing was in this state from the first group, the assistant director would probably get used to it, but the change of style before and after made him mutter and complain in his heart, but the real director sat firmly and did not speak, so he could only stay aside.

After about a quarter of an hour, all the machines were in place, and the surrounding staff held their breath, many of whom wanted to see what tricks the actor could play.

Not everyone knows that this script restricts Forrest Gump's acting skills, and it may not be that no one has the idea that "the actor is just like this" - since joining the group, Forrest Gump has made the most performances in the air.

In the absence of special effects, this kind of performance against the air and imagination is a little embarrassing in the eyes of outsiders.

Ang Lee didn't say anything, but the whole group was in place, and Forrest Gump in the middle didn't seem to have anything to say, and the assistant director Zhao Daming looked around, took a clapperboard and hit the camera down.

"Click. ”

Today's filming is the last scene of the film, in which the middle-aged party tells an author about his drift at sea, telling both the first story of arriving on the shore with a tiger and the second story of how many people drifted and only survived.

The insurance company chose to adopt the first story, feeling that the second story was too cruel.

The author also chooses to believe the first story, and then the middle-aged family returns, and the script ends.

The shot that needs to be taken now is a shot of sending him out of the house, and the perspective remains on the expression on Pie's face.

According to the communication between Gan Jing and Ang Lee, the expression left by this middle-aged faction will appear in contrast to a smile from the teenager faction at the end of the film.

With the cameras in different positions working and the microphone already hanging in the air, Gan Jing's emotions were brewing, and he turned into a pie, smiling and introducing his family to the author who had listened to his story, and then sending him out.

Pie didn't go far, just stood in the doorway and watched the departing figure.

At this time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, extremely innocent, and then the look of his eyes that appeared together was completely different from the smile.

"Huh?" Ang Lee's back left the back of the chair, and his expression, which had been calm, suddenly fluctuated violently.

Assistant director Zhao Daming didn't look at the camera, but suddenly found that the expression of the staff opposite Forrest Gump was wrong, he thought it was a mistake, and immediately went to see the camera in front of Ang Lee.

On the camera screen, Ang Lee had already reversed the scene he had just filmed and stopped, and what was presented on it was the performance that Gan Jing had been preparing for a long time.

Just a second-in-one expression.

Just a smile and a look.

But Zhao Daming clearly saw a strong contrast.

The smile is very white, either the warmth and warmth of the usual smile, or the innocence is like a blank paper that can't bear to ink.

Eyes...... Zhao Daming can't describe what it's like to be like.

He stared at the camera, focusing all his attention on Forrest Gump's eyes, his heart pounding and racing.

Reluctantly, Zhao Daming saw a kind of alienation, a kind of self-carnival in the crowd, and then turned around and saw someone outside the crowd looking at him ruthlessly.

What is he in his eyes?

A non-literate?

Dismissive?

Zhao Daming thought for a while, and then found a barely suitable word in his heart, he was probably "lighter than a feather" in his eyes.

Coming back to his senses, the assistant director found that Ang Lee had stood up and shouted to stop and walked to Forrest Gump's side and was talking about something, he hurriedly looked at the frozen expression on the screen again, and then quickly turned his head and didn't want to look at it again.

He now suddenly wondered what Ang Lee thought of this expression.

Zhao Daming walked a few steps and silently stopped beside Ang Lee and Forrest Gump, and at the same time he noticed that many staff members were standing behind the camera and whispering, but their faces were shocked and amazed.

Probably everyone realized that this was a wonderful performance, he described it in his heart, using the word "one" to describe his expression for a second.

Forrest Gump ......

Ang Lee's voice came into Zhao Daming's ears, and he was suddenly glad that he could listen to the conversation between the two.

"Your expression just now is wonderful, wonderful, amazing, amazing," Ang Lee's voice was unexpectedly heavy, but the wording was a bit complicated, "For the understanding of the script, I have never forced the actors to work with me as a director." But your current performance will be a negation of the whole film. ”

"The film doesn't require you to use your expressions and eyes to make a final decision on the two stories told. This look in your eyes is clearly telling the audience in front of the screen that the second story of Life Pi is real. Ang Lee's tone was hurried.

Gan Jing was silent for a while and shook his head: "There is one Hamlet for a thousand readers. If you understand it this way, others may not understand it this way. Assistant Director, did you just look at the camera? Does my expression give an answer?"

Zhao Daming didn't expect him to ask himself at all, and was stunned for a moment to see that Li An didn't object, so he hesitated and said: "I didn't see it, that is, it was my eyes that made me very stressed." ”

The assistant director's explanation obviously can't have much weight in Li Anxin, and he is still emphasizing: "Forrest Gump, this shot can't be shot like this." ”

Gan Jing pulled the corners of his mouth and patted Li An's shoulder: "If you don't pat me, you don't need it." With that, he turned and left, leaving no room for discussion.

It's hard, it's decisive.

After Forrest Gump left, Ang Lee still stood in place and didn't say anything for a long time.

The atmosphere of the conversation between the two was a little tense, Zhao Daming hesitated for a moment, and said: "Director Li, if you don't like this shot, and Forrest Gump is unwilling to reshoot, then just cut it." ”

When the film is made, what the final film looks like depends on what the director's mind is.

Many actors can only see their results in the cinema after filming, and their mood will be complicated or joyful because of the director's editing.

Ang Lee sighed, glanced sideways at the assistant director, and asked, "Don't you think the expression just now is amazing?"

Zhao Daming nodded immediately.

"That's it. Ang Lee nodded and walked back to the camera, "I am reluctant to cut it, I am reluctant to show this wonderful shot to the audience." ”

Zhao Daming followed behind with a fart.

Li An frowned, but Tan Xing came out: "Forrest Gump is right just now, everyone's understanding is different. Maybe...... It's me who thinks too much. ”

But just returned to the camera, Ang Lee immediately reversed what he had just said: "No, I didn't think much about it." ”

Zhao Daming clearly felt that Director Ang Lee's entanglement was about to be corrected out of his body, he quickly glanced at the camera, and then turned his head: "This paragraph is indeed very exciting." ”

There is no doubt that this is the strength that Forrest Gump has accumulated during this time, and he chose to explode in this shot. "Li An was sad," he gave me a problem. ”

There were more and more onlookers behind the camera, and Ang Lee stopped looking at the camera, leaning back in his chair, squinting slightly, and unconsciously noticing the whispered discussions of others.

- "Forrest Gump's expression is so strange, at first glance the smile is good, but the eyes are very contradictory......"

- "There was a lot of emotion in his eyes, and when he looked at the figure of the man leaving, he must have remembered the cannibalism in the second story. I think this look is quite cold. ”

- "I didn't feel cold, I was a little surprised. If you take this shot and put it at the head of the bed, I think it can ward off evil spirits. ”

——“…… was speechless, only knew that Forrest Gump's acting skills were really good. ”

Li An rubbed his temples and sighed.

Forrest Gump's performance in this scene is the finishing touch, but, but, but he is crooked!

Cha!

Rough!

……

The performance on the set was discussed by the staff for two days, and everyone, as a member of the crew, naturally knows something about the movie, and many people have dreams of becoming actors or directors.

They knew the differences between Ang Lee and Gan Jing from the mouth of assistant director Zhao Daming, and knew Ang Lee's tangled handling of this scene.

To use or not to use?

To cut or not to cut?

The crew was also privately divided into two factions, but strangely enough, the majority of people supported the use of this lens.

The reasons given by everyone are similar, this shot is so amazing that it is a waste not to be seen by others, no, it is even a crime - this is a crime of Forrest Gump's performing arts!

In the past two days, a group of people have been discussing hotly, and the atmosphere of the crew has never been more intense, but Forrest Gump locked himself in the room.

It wasn't until the third day after the scene that he came out of the room as usual and continued to follow the set.

"Director Li, let's finish filming the rest of the shots, and then it's time to finish. I have other things to do, this film has been given more than half a year, don't let me down. Gan Jing's state at this time was almost the same as before, but the dark circles under his eyes made him look very haggard.

Ang Lee has been in a very heavy mood for the past two days, and his heart is full of hesitation, he did not prohibit the crew members from discussing the camera, for the first time in his life, he wants to know everyone's thoughts on the film, although some of the ideas must be very amateurish.

"Well, shoot it. Li An sighed and waved at Zhao Daming not far away, "Old Zhao, you will take charge of the rest of the camera." After he shouted this sentence, he walked away, and he didn't have much politeness with Forrest Gump.

Zhao Daming rubbed his hands and came over, smiling: "Hey, Forrest Gump, Forrest Gump, Director Li is not in a good mood." Well, I'll take a picture of what little footage you have left?"

Somehow, he couldn't help but use the word "you".

Gan Jing smiled very kindly: "That's troublesome Director Zhao." ”

"Hey, it should, it should. Zhao Daming didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly walked over to coordinate the venue first, although the rest of the shots were not difficult, he was afraid that he would not be able to control the god Forrest Gump, so he must do it flawlessly in other aspects.

The crew and assistant director are busy over there, and Forrest Gump and Ang Lee sit down to rest, but the two are separated by a long distance.

Neither side went over to speak, and they ignored the eyes of the other staff members.

About forty minutes later, Zhao Daming did a good job and ran over with a clapperboard.

"Forrest Gump, it's okay. Let's take a picture of the scene described later. ”

Gan Jing nodded, got up and walked into the set up room scene.

The rest of the scenes are very ordinary performances, and Gan Jing can certainly show a different flavor like the previous scene, but he doesn't plan to do that - as the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, and this film only needs the last shot.

Pi's fantasy drift, the second story is only pointed out at the end of the script - Pie feeds on corpses to survive.

I only use the performance at the end to express my understanding of the whole story, and as for how the audience interprets it, that's their business.

On this day, under the leadership of assistant director Zhao Daming, Gan Jing's shooting was very smooth, and it only took one day for the final scene to be performed.

Until the end of the day, Ang Lee sat on the side, neither looking at the camera nor Forrest Gump, he just frowned deeply and kept thinking about what to do with that shot.

Puzzle, puzzle, puzzle.

It's a piece of honey wrapped in poison.

With a long sigh, Bo was worried and sleepy.

That night, Ang Lee knocked on Forrest Gump's door.
