Chapter 482: Discord
Does Forrest Gump care about the Oscars?
Of course I care.
But this is not yet the time to fight the bayonet to see the real chapter, so he seems to be extremely calm.
There are a lot of remarks outside, some are optimistic, some are down, and Gan Jing will also encounter the curiosity and inquiries of the crew members when filming these days, but he laughed it off.
Gradually, the people around him will not be interested in asking him face-to-face, but it will still be a topic when chatting in private.
The work of the crew is sometimes quite boring, like the lighting engineer and the radio engineer, if the angle they stand at is not good enough, then they can't see the actors filming, they can only listen to the sound.
Once you encounter this situation, it will be more painful, so you should not miss the chat and gossip during the rest time after work.
People who are mixed in the crew can always hear all kinds of true and false news if they are not new to the industry, and they are also willing to mumble some news that is not true or false.
Lao Chen flew to Hong Kong after almost handling the work of the studio - he is from Hong Kong, but he has been busy in the mainland for the past two years, and there is still a trace of strangeness when he returns here.
However, when he arrived on the set, he accidentally overheard a few small talks in the bathroom.
"I look at the landing guide, but it is not pleasing to the eye of Forrest Gump. ”
"I didn't notice. ”
"Hey, when I adjust the lights, the position is directly opposite the landing director, and every time I can't see the actors filming, I can only look at the director's expression. I've been observing for a while, you don't know......"
The two came out of the bathroom, and the person who spoke suddenly stopped talking, saw Chen Huihong standing outside, and glanced at his companion.
The other person immediately greeted Lao Chen with a smile: "Dude, this is the set, how did you come in? ”
Lao Chen nodded at the two of them and introduced himself: "I am Forrest Gump's agent." He walked into the bathroom as if he hadn't heard anything before.
The two who had just come out of the bathroom looked at each other a little, and one of the people who spoke earlier whispered, "He won't hear it, will he?"
"It's okay to hear it, and we didn't say anything bad about Forrest Gump. It's kind of going to the director, let's just talk nonsense. ”
The two of them didn't care what they said, but their voices were much lower.
After Lao Chen solved his personal problem and came out of the bathroom, he couldn't see the two people just now, so he frowned at this time, and found Forrest Gump on the set.
"Forrest Gump, how is the filming status here?" Lao Chen didn't plan to ask this, but now he has changed his mind.
"It's good, I've been filming scenes with Wei Zai recently, and it's very cool to shoot the rival scenes. "Gan Jing is in a good mood.
Lao Chen only hesitated a little and decided to tell what he heard, he and Forrest Gump have always been straight to the point, and this will continue to be the usual attitude.
Other scenes are being filmed on the set, and Liang Chaowei did not come today, and the two directors are busy arranging.
After listening to Lao Chen's retelling, Gan Jing was a little surprised, he had communicated a lot with Director Lu Jianqing before, but recently there was less communication with Wei Zai about the rivalry, but it wasn't a holiday.
A certain gaffer said that the director had an opinion about himself?
"Is it reliable?" asked Gan Jing with a smile.
Just as Lu Jianqing's gaze turned from this side, he nodded at Forrest Gump.
"Sounds like it's true. Lao Chen saw that he was not nervous, so he relaxed.
"Come on, I'll ponder it again when I have time. Gan Jing shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Zhou Shen's drama is finished, is there no problem with the theater release of Huaying?"
When the studio's director Zhou Shen was filming "Grandson from the United States", China Film had not yet expressed goodwill, and the original plan was to take the line of Huaying.
"The studio has set up a special team to be responsible for this matter, follow the whole process, work together, learn a lesson, and test the waters. Lao Chen reported, "The first cut of the day after tomorrow should be able to take it out, and I will show you when the time comes." ”
Gan Jing nodded, at present, this matter is more worthy of his attention, and the rest of what Lao Chen said belongs to the daily report, in fact, it is not worth a special trip.
"Also, next year's schedule, many people are making appointments, what do you mean?" Lao Chen asked on the phone several times before, but they were all perfunctory, and this time he decided to figure it out in person.
Since Gan Jing won the Cannes award, Lao Chen's invitation has not been broken, but with the rhythm of Forrest Gump's about two or three plays a year, the film contract has gradually eliminated those small productions.
There are only a few domestic film giants, and they have always been a regular greeting to Lao Chen, and they will cooperate together when they have a schedule.
This month, as soon as the publicity of the third award came out, the weight of the giant's routine also increased - this will talk about cooperation, and if Forrest Gump is the actor, it will be the first work of the Chinese after winning the Oscar.
This is simply a halo of self-promotion, a halo of box office, and an aura that can be overdrawn!
Based on this, Huayi, Guangguang and other old film and television giants do not mention, Wanda, which just acquired AMC Cinemas in the United States in May this year, also proposed cooperation.
- "Investment, director, script, as long as Forrest Gump is willing, he can choose." ”
This is what Wanda meant, and it is also the reason why Lao Chen finally felt that he had to ask about the schedule, he was afraid that Forrest Gump would leave the schedule in the United States.
Gan Jing was not moved after listening to Wanda's invitation, but asked with a smile: "What does it mean to choose with me?" It's just that the director, investment, and script have not been decided. That's too unreliable, isn't it? Sanwu also came to me. ”
Lao Chen shook his head and said, "As long as you nod your head, it will soon be three." Wanda's capital power is still very strong, and with the acquisition of AMC, they can be said to be the world's largest cinema chain operator this year. ”
Gan Jing groaned slightly, and said something that surprised Lao Chen.
"I want to take a break. ”
Take a break?
The tone was vague, but Lao Chen understood, and his complexion changed a little: "How long?"
"For a few months, I slowly picked out the script, and I don't want to rush the schedule. The beginning of February next year will be the Spring Festival Gala, and the end of February will be the Oscars. I don't want to go to the Spring Festival Gala the year after tomorrow. "According to the current situation, as long as Gan Jing does not refuse, he should receive an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala every year, but the Spring Festival Gala is actually quite time-consuming.
Lao Chen Zhi frowned, he didn't expect to hear Forrest Gump's decision at this moment here, he looked straight at him and said: "Too much pressure?
Gan Jing was dumbfounded.
"It's a little tired, looking for the state, I'm not quitting, I'm just resting and recuperating. Regardless of whether I win the award next year or not, I want to polish the work of a Chinese character. But think about it. ”
"And, I wanted to try out what it's like to be a real producer. ”
Gan Jing winked at the stunned Lao Chen: "I have had many films named before. Perhaps, the studio will produce a gold medal producer. ”
I don't want a producer...... I just want a super actor Forrest Gump...... Lao Chen sighed silently, knowing that nine times out of ten, he couldn't shake Forrest Gump's decision.
