The filming at the Taipei Film and Television Base on the first day did not have any substance, and when Gan Jing gradually found a sense of character in front of the camera and communicated with Ang Lee a few words, the crew also announced a break.

In the last play "Untouchable", the director's style was more casual, Gan Jing basically communicated with Olivier Siliu, and today he just officially cooperated with Ang Lee on the set, and he felt that the two directors' directing styles were different.

On weekdays, Ang Lee is a very elegant person, but although he speaks very kindly on the set, the meaning inside is very tough.

Although Gan Jing is a little accustomed to occupying a more active position, in the face of Ang Lee, especially on the first day of filming, it is wise to listen more and understand more.

He was also curious about the internationally renowned director's directing style and style, and wondered if he really had a set of instructions or didn't live up to his name.

The first day of filming was generally smooth, there were no moths, but Gan Jing didn't rejoice for long after he went back, and the next morning, when he saw a group of black people on the set, he knew that he was coming after all.

"Be careful. Gan Jing reminded Dacheng beside him.

Dacheng also noticed the situation and nodded calmly.

The black pressure person noticed the nanny car that appeared on the side of the road, and was a little hesitant at first, but as soon as he saw the person who got out of the car, he immediately hula and surrounded him.

"Forrest Gump, hello, I'm from Taipei TV, we have a program in prime time in the evening, and I sincerely invite you. ”

"I heard that you were banned by the mainland? Is this true?"

"It is rumored that you have participated in the investment of "Untouchable", is it true?"

"The first time I worked with Director Ang Lee, what do you think of Director Lee?"

One sentence after another, one question after another, buzzing and buzzing......

This group of reporters should have been so detonated because of the "Treasure Island Pioneer" exclusive report on themselves, and they were willing to judge with respect, but they regretted it a little.

That media was found by the relationship between Torin Zhiling and Su Lin, and since he arrived on Treasure Island, he has indeed lived in seclusion, thinking that he should also increase the exposure in the media, but he didn't think that the news that "Untouchable" could not be released in the mainland was suddenly revealed, so the content of this exclusive report changed its focus.

The four bodyguards used solid arms to push the reporters outside, but the number of people was really a bit large, and Forrest Gump had ordered him not to do it out of consideration for being on the treasure island, so he could only do this.

"Hello everyone. Gan Jing raised his hand and motioned to all the reporters to be quiet, "Because I'm filming, I don't want to affect the other staff, so I won't invite you in." Answer three questions, okay?" he winked at Dacheng.

The bodyguard understood and slowly drove forward.

Because Gan Jing agreed to answer the question, the reporters who surrounded him were no longer so resolute in refusing to give way.

"Ladies first, it's so hot, this one. Gan Jing was covered in sweat for a while, the weather on Baodao was indeed hot, and he saw that the sweat on the female reporter's forehead had already made up all the makeup.

The female reporter nodded gratefully, and before she had time to say anything else, she immediately asked: "I am Chang Chang of "Treasure Island Entertainment News". Forrest Gump, what do you think about the ban on films? I heard that you have already obtained a green card in the United States, is that true?"

The wording is somewhat sharp, which is clearly deliberate on the part of the journalist.

Gan Jing frowned, first endured the flash of the flash, and then said: "It's not banned, "Untouchable" is a French film, and there are a number of foreign films introduced into China every year. I regret that I can't let mainland audiences and fans see the work, but fortunately, the audience on Treasure Island can see it, and I hope you will support it. ”

"As for the U.S. green card, there have been rumors about it a long time ago, and I don't shy away from saying that I can get it relatively easily, but I will not change my nationality in this life. Journalists should not ask such questions again in the future. ”

Forrest Gump's answer was categorical, and for a while, as a reporter from Baodao, his heart was still a little complicated.

"Forrest Gump, hello, I'm Wang Guo, a reporter from Zhongtian Entertainment Channel. A male reporter took advantage of the fact that everyone was a little stunned and asked without waiting for someone to be respectful, "May I ask if the new drama you are working with director Ang Lee is to hit the Oscars? Best Picture or Best Actor? Are you confident in winning the best actor?"

Emma, it's only the first day of filming that you asked me if I was an actor or not!

Aren't you afraid of my pride?

Gan Jing squinted at this Wang Guo and said with a smile: "Big brother, my expectations for the new drama are also very high, after all, this is the cooperation between the Cannes actor and the Oscar director." However, the final extent of what can be achieved depends on the efforts at hand. Today is my second day of shooting Youth Pi, and I will continue to work hard. ”

Neither admitting nor denying it, many reporters had their eyes lit up and had similar headlines in their minds.

- "Cannes Best Actor is full of confidence and joins forces with the Oscar for Best Director"

- "Gan Jing Laughs at the Oscars"

The four bodyguards took advantage of the question-and-answer time to push forward and approached the door of the set.

Gan Jing raised an index finger and said with a smile: "The last question, speaking of which, in addition to the food, my impression of Baodao is that I was pressed in front of me by a paparazzi with a mobile phone to shoot me at dinner that day." ”

The photo of Lin Zhiling and Gan Jing being taken by the paparazzi while eating is still circulating in the market, and even the reporters at the scene used that photo, so they all laughed very well when they heard this.

"That's it, uncle. Gan Jing glanced at it and saw an older reporter.

"Hello, Gan Jing. "What do you think about the situation on both sides of the Taiwan Strait?"

Huh, this uncle, you're not entertaining, are you? How did you get in?

Gan Jing pondered for a moment, seeing that the bodyguard had squeezed out the way to the gate, and said solemnly: "Don't talk about politics, don't talk about politics." ”

Baodao was divided into different camps, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately said: "Gan Jing, don't you dare to face the reality squarely? Do you know? Your warships can't sail to our shore!"

Gan Jing had already walked to the door, originally he didn't want to respond, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but turn around, and said word by word: "Treasure Island is an inseparable part of Huaxia. Maybe it will take time, but after all, it will return to the bosom of the motherland. In the future, when the warship lands, if there is a chance, I will definitely come with it. At that time, I hope you still have this confidence. ”

There was an uproar in the team of reporters, but Gan Jing stopped answering questions, went directly to the door of the studio, and then closed the door.

The world is quiet.

……

Regarding the response to political questions, Gan Jing and Director Ang Lee made an announcement.

To be honest, considering the political atmosphere, he is really worried that the department here will expel him, in that case, it will cause damage to the crew.

But hearing that kind of words, Gan Jing really couldn't help it, if there was no American father, it would ...... minutes

"Forrest Gump, you get on the boat and try it, let's see if this wave maker can make an effect. "Ang Lee didn't take the reporter's question seriously, and some people on Treasure Island just have a lot of.

Gan Jing responded, went to the changing room to change his clothes, and then walked carefully to the boat wearing a prop suit.

The main shots of "Life of Pi" are all on the sea, but when shooting, you naturally can't really go to the sea to shoot, which is unsafe and expensive.

Now Ang Lee is thinking about trying it first, if it doesn't work, he needs to change the set.

The boat was fixed to the edge of the pool, and Gan Jing stood on it and jumped twice, then looked back at the two machines on the other side, which were the so-called wave machines, which could make waves around the boat.

"What are you doing here?" asked Gan Jing curiously.

A staff member at the edge of the pool loosened the rope and jumped into the pool to drag the boat to the middle of the pool, where he tossed for a while before swimming back.

"Give it a try. The staff member crouched on the edge of the pool and instructed, "Stand firm." ”

Gan Jing nodded.

The people next to him jumped into the pool as if they were dumplings, stood still, and grabbed the rope tied under the boat.

"Let's get started. The playwright said to the person next to the machine on the right.

The machine was activated, and a low roar was heard, and then the waves on the side of the ship gradually rose, but it was still safe to stand on.

"Hey, you can ......" Before he finished speaking, the boat suddenly shook violently, and Gan Jing was caught off guard and fell into the water with a bang.

"Hey, hey, Forrest Gump, are you okay?!"

Gan Jing's head came out of the pool, his hands grabbed the side of the boat, and he said depressedly: "You didn't say you wanted to drag, together, this boat is shaking like this?

Not only fake, but also primitive.

Li An stepped aside at this time and said with a smile: "It's good if it has an effect." ”

Gan Jing climbed back onto the boat, looked at the surrounding pool and the green screen used to make special effects on the other side, and said hesitantly: "This scene can't be exposed, otherwise the audience may feel quite deceived." ”

"We're going to use real scenes, and this pool in Taipei is still a bit smaller. I looked at it just now, there is a bigger set in Taichung, and the White Banyan Garden in Kenting can also provide material for the scenery in our film. You have to go to the field and see it. Ang Lee shook his head, "It's really difficult to reproduce the description in the original book, and it's really not easy to shoot this kind of 3D special effects." ”

Simply burning money can't burn a good film, Ang Lee is also constantly learning and exploring in the production of special effects movies, and in this regard, he is very similar to Tsui Hark.

They are not just looking for a special effects company to make it, but they are studying, researching, and thinking about how to integrate the wave of film trends into their own shooting.

Gan Jing nodded and said, "Then let's shoot the shots here first." ”

"Come on. Ang Lee instructed the drama crew to pull the boat in front of the green screen, and then returned to the back camera.

The equipment is in place, the actors are in place.

The bow of the boat in front of the green screen was strapped to a mast, and now the shot was taken of the moment when Pai had just escaped to the boat and saw the animals.

The assistant director stepped forward to communicate with Gan Jing, said the content of the scene, and then stepped back.

Click.

Gan Jing stood at the bow of the boat, heard the sound of the board, and instantly entered the state.

The boat was rocking, and he needed to imagine that he was adrift at sea, and wave after wave, and suddenly there was a jolt, and he fell into the sea, and then hugged the mast.

This part of the scene is completely a performance of one person, there should be animals on the ship, but those belong to the special effects part.

Gan Jing looked at the empty boat, his expression showed a look of horror, and he tried to imagine that there was a malicious hyena on the other end.

"Stop!"

At the beginning of this paragraph, after a while, Ang Lee was not satisfied.

"Forrest Gump, expression, expression. The director prompted.

Gan Jing nodded, pondered for a moment, and gestured.

The second pass begins.

Gan Jing ran to the mast in a panic and haste, hugged it in reverse, and put his legs on the lifebuoy of the mast.

This part of the movement was done naturally and smoothly, but it was very unexpected for Ang Lee, who quietly looked at the pie holding the mast in the camera, and saw his expression as he stared at the air.

After hesitating for a moment, Ang Lee still shouted to stop.

"Forrest Gump, Pie's family is that Dad runs a zoo, and he must have a fear of hyenas, as well as familiarity with other creatures. Ang Lee explained.

Gan Jing was a little confused and didn't know what to do.

"Look for the feeling again. Don't rush. Li comforted, "The tigers haven't appeared yet." ”

Gan Jing took a breath, thought for a while, and felt that he had found the right feeling, and said to the director: "I'm fine." ”

This time, instead of immediately running to the mast in the bow of the ship, he picked up the oar after seeing the hyena, and after waving it twice, his body, exhausted from the shipwreck, could not support it, and staggered down the oar and ran to the bow of the ship.

With a picture of trying to confront, Ang Lee was a lot more satisfied, and he could see that Forrest Gump was really thinking.

The director didn't shout to stop, and Gan Jing's performance continued.

The boat in front of the green screen was swayed up and down by the staff, and Gan Jing hugged the mast with both hands, and his expression changed with each pounce of the hyena.

But fortunately, the hyena was injected with drugs before, and now he is a little seasick, so the pounce is not violent.

At this time, the assistant director reminded on the side: "The orangutan is coming." ”

In the script, a female orangutan floats on a bundled banana raft, an orangutan familiar to Pi.

“Orange-Juice！”

Gan Jing smiled and shouted the name of the orangutan to the side.

"Stop. ”

Li An shouted to stop, and he saw that something was wrong: "Forrest Gump, don't substitute the second story into it." In the second story, the orangutan represents Pi's mother.

"There is no second story in the film, and the final scene is only dictated. You just need to play the simplicity of the first story, not the complex and subtle emotions!"

The complex and subtle emotions test the acting skills of the actors, but ...... Ang Lee didn't need to show up at this time.

Gan Jing hugged the mast and tilted his head to look at Li An: "Okay, simple, simple." ”

It seems that there are still some differences, and I have to go to the director's room to communicate at night.
