Chapter 334: Dislocation
Gan Jing, who was filming in Paris, also received the news and knew that the bet had been reported, and he felt that the effect was not bad.
Drawing inferences, he pondered whether "Untouchable" could also build momentum.
"Forrest Gump, the day after tomorrow I made an appointment with the music maestro Bastien, you can go with me then. "Just finished filming this day, the preoccupied director Olivier found Gan Jing.
Gan Jing scratched his head in confusion: "Music master, director, I'm not proficient in these, and I don't understand how you feel about the soundtrack." ”
Olivier was a little annoyed: "Warmth, warmth, how can you not understand?"
The director has already pulled himself to listen to a lot of music after filming, but the calluses in his ears are about to grind out, and Gan Jing didn't get the point, just drowsy.
"Director, don't embarrass me, I'm very tired from filming. "Gan Jing is very innocent.
"You are a Cannes actor, how can you be tired! You are an investor, how can you be tired! You can sing the quintessence of China, how can you not understand?"
Olivier was imposing, showing his authority as a director for the first time in front of Gan Jing.
It's just that...... I can sing Peking Opera, it has nothing to do with understanding your classical music, right?
Gan Jing took a breath, but he somewhat understood the feeling of "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility".
"Okay, but who is this Bastian? I need to know something. "If you want to see it, let's see it well.
Olivier nodded in satisfaction and began to introduce Forrest Gump to his country's music masters.
During this time, the pressure on the director was a bit high, one was the pressure of the filming itself, and the other was the distribution factor outside the film - the domestic Gaomeng Film Company thought that the story was a bit old-fashioned, and the energy and enthusiasm that it was willing to put into it was not great.
This is very disturbing, just like my own computer is broken and it can't be repaired for a long time.
"How can our film not be good, you are right. "Olivier seems to be looking for a soulmate.
Gan Jing thought for a while and said: "There are many movies of this type, the interaction of two characters, showing friendship and feelings, there are no beautiful female characters...... Oops, is it too late for me to divest now?"
Olivier widened his eyes, and he had the posture of hanging himself in front of Gan Jing.
"Still. Gan Jing said seriously, "With the joining of a Cannes actor, everything is completely different." His acting skills are so superb that he changes the interpretation of the story, and he makes the audience accept different scenarios naturally. "He also sells himself and boasts.
Gan Jing watched the director's expression soften, and uttered two syllables: "Huh?"
"Don't use your Chinese humor next time. Olivier covered his forehead, "Also, Global Distribution, I like Weinstein in the United States, what do you think?"
Weinstein is a well-known Hollywood studio, but it is most famous for its reputation as an Oscar promoter.
Gan Jing didn't know much about the company before, only after being nominated for an Oscar, he was popularized by Andy, and he heard some rumors at the Vanity Fair party that night.
"Did you make contact?"
Olivier nodded: "There has been an exchange, and Weinstein is quite interested. ”
"Leave it to Warner, I can talk a little bit here, and the follow-up release should be fine. Gan Jing gently took over the co-distribution of the film and stepped into a small project of Wayne Company.
Olivier thought about it, Forrest Gump also invested anyway, and Warner surpassed Weinstein's giant, which is not bad.
"Then hurry up, let's sell the film first. "Olivier's recent pressure has made him a little impatient.
Gan Jing took two steps to him, reached out and patted the director's shoulder, and comforted: "Don't worry, man, you have to believe in yourself and believe in me." ”
"Believe in a Cannes actor, okay?"
Olivier looked at the Oriental's quiet eyes, sighed, and nodded.
Gan Jing smiled slightly, very charming: "Then can I not go to see Bastien?"
"Of course not. "Olivier is categorical.
……
Bastien is a French national treasure and is particularly proficient in classical music, and his orchestra has performed in almost all of the world's most famous concert halls.
Vienna, Berlin Philharmonic, Paris Philharmonic Hall, Sibelius, Finland, Boston Symphony Hall, USA...... Wait a minute.
However, Gan Jing was still a little surprised when he met this musician.
He had the impression that this kind of musician should be a little quirky and a little nervous, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him would be the same as ordinary people.
I, everyone in music, give money!
Director Olivier and Bastian didn't say a word when they met, and then they began to negotiate the remuneration with a bargain...... It's not art at all! It's not music at all!
"Hey, Bastian, we have an actor in the play, even without your soundtrack, it would be great if we changed people. Olivier pointed to Gan Jing on the side, and changed his tone, "It's just for the sake of excellence that we thought of you." ”
Bastian's hair was already graying, and he smiled when he heard this: "It costs money to keep improving, right?"
"Art costs money, doesn't it?"
"It's the investor's money and it's not yours, right?"
Gan Jing choked in his throat in one breath, and after a few seconds, he raised his hand with difficulty to speak: "I'm sorry, master, I invested money, and I can be regarded as an investor." ”
As soon as Bastian was old, he had seen all kinds of battles, and immediately re-emphasized his identity as if he had never said a word.
"When I went to Vienna, you weren't born yet. ”
"When I went to Boston, you weren't born yet. ”
"When I went to Sydney, you weren't born yet, oh no, you should have been in elementary school. ”
The old god Bastian is here, and he uses his qualifications one by one to add weight to himself.
Looking at the old man like this, Gan Jing suddenly wondered, is this guy really a music master? Could it be a liar?
"I've performed at the Sydney Opera House, too. Gan Jing said softly, "The feeling of the performance, well, it's okay." ”
Bastian glanced at the young Oriental and sneered, "You are at the Sydney Opera House?
This old man, look at the tsundere of you.
Gan Jing sat upright: "Only the national is the world." As an actor, I went to Cannes and was nominated for an Oscar, and as a Peking Opera performer, I performed in Sydney, Australia in February. ”
Bastian was slightly startled and asked, "Peking Opera?"
"Do you know Mei Lanfang too?" asked Gan Jing.
"I used to drink tea with Master Mei and exchange art. Bastian smiled.
Gan Jing nodded at the old man, and then said thoughtfully, "Then can you be cheaper?"
“……”
I talk to you about the price, you talk to me about art.
I talk to you about art, and you talk to me about price.
Young people, yes.
