Chapter 49: Results
Chen Kaige sat on the sofa, and the thoughts in his heart were particularly active with the atmosphere.
Dawn's performance was very good, great, very white as always, very suave as always.
It's like Li Xiaojun in "Sweet Honey" - but it's been twelve years since that film.
For actors, this is a stable praise, and it is also a bad review that has not broken through, and Chen Kaige naturally understands this.
The inclination in his heart became more serious, and glancing at the expressionless dawn and the slightly apprehensive Ganjing, he set his eyes on Master Mei's son, Mei Baojiu, the film's art advisor.
"Teacher Mei, what do you think?" Director Chen just planned to take this opportunity to organize his own language, and did not expect Mei Baojiu to give a very tendentious answer.
Who knew that Mei Baojiu didn't speak for a long time, just stared at the air, and said after a while: "Gan Jing's performance is very good, very unexpected to me, very perfect." ”
Everyone was shocked, and Dawn on the side frowned and was silent.
This is an extremely rare evaluation, you know, this is Master Mei's biological son.
What was it that struck him?
After Mei Baojiu finished this evaluation, she closed her eyes and did not give a more specific answer.
Chen Kaige glanced at Liming, and swallowed the words when they came to his mouth.
At this time, Sun Fang, the representative of the management who had not spoken, spoke, and as soon as she spoke, she affirmed Liming's acting skills: "I think Liming performed very well, and his temperament is outstanding, and he has a good restoration of the middle-aged Master Mei." ”
As a capital party, she must be hoping to bring a certain box office guarantee to Liming to play this role, Sun Fang quietly glanced at Chen Kaige and Han Sanping, and said with a smile: "Of course, Gan Jing, a newcomer, is also unexpectedly good, otherwise let him play the young Mei Lanfang, and the middle-aged Mei Lanfang will be played by Liming." The best of both worlds, isn't it? ”
She laughed twice, but no one responded, and suddenly turned to a dry laugh.
The whole room was silent, this atmosphere was a little difficult for a big star, Dawn took a light breath, slowly stood up, walked to the place where Gan Jing was sitting, and asked condescendingly: "Gan Jing, I have great respect for Master Mei Lanfang." If I put this role in your hands, will you have the confidence to play it well?"
As soon as these words came out, it was announced that he had withdrawn from this competition, and Sun Fang frowned.
But first talked about the respect for Master Mei, and then quit by himself, the scene looked a lot better.
Gan Jing raised his head and did not retreat at all: "Yes." ”
Dawn stared down, surprised by his sonorous answer, he saw no hesitation in the young man's eyes, firm and confident.
He couldn't help but be a little puzzled in his heart, where did this person jump out of?
As one of the viewers just now, he was naturally shocked, and that delicate and even somewhat neurotic look reminded him of a friend from a long time ago.
Liming's attitude in his heart softened a little, showed a smile, patted Gan Jing's shoulder, turned his head and said to the people present: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves." ”
"Where, if he can push any front wave, just flutter twice is good. Han Sanping took over, he and Chen Kaige have a tacit understanding of cooperation for many years, and naturally know the decision of this old friend at the moment.
As a director, there are some things that are difficult to say at the moment, so naturally only he, the producer, will play the round.
"Then I'm looking forward to this movie. Dawn smiled, and completely admitted to quitting this competition.
Gan Jing stood up, held Liming's hand, and said, "Thank you, I will play Master Mei well." ”
Hey, this kid is so unyielding, Dawn pressed the surprise and a little depression in his heart, nodded, turned around and exchanged a few words with a few people, and left first if he still had something to deal with.
The more you stay in such a situation, the more embarrassing it becomes, it is better to get out as soon as possible.
By the time the superstar left, the atmosphere in the room was a little weird.
Director Chen's new work is like this, and the newcomer is used in this way?
Gan Jing stood alive in the living room, noticing the strange faces of everyone, he didn't know what to say, so he could only bow to the front: "Thank you, teachers, I will work hard." ”
Mei Baojiu smiled and nodded, Chu Nian was excited, Han Sanping looked at Chen Kaige's calm face and shook his head, the most unhappy thing here is probably Sun Fang, the representative of the management side, she frowned and looked at Gan Jing who bowed, and wanted to say something but didn't say it.
"Director Chen, the company still has something to do, so I'll go back first. Dawn has been tacitly acquiesced before he appeared, and now the guidance of public opinion has to be done well, I'll go say hello. "She is a decisive person, and since she has made up her mind, she will guide her in a good direction, although she does not like this decision in her heart.
Sun Fang didn't go to see Gan Jing, but only said goodbye to a few bigwigs and left on his own.
Mei Baojiu was old, he smiled at Gan Jing, and said goodbye without saying anything.
There are only four people left in the room, director Chen Kaige, producer Han Sanping, assistant director Chu Nian, and newcomer Gan Jing.
Chen Kaige cocked Erlang's legs, feeling that he had solved one thing in his heart, he rarely hesitated, since he had already made a decision, he believed in his own vision.
He rubbed the cup in his hand and asked Gan Jing, "Do you have faith?"
Gan Jing was about to speak, when he heard Director Chen ask himself and answer: "If you have confidence, you have to go up, and if you don't have confidence, you have to go up." ”
Han Sanping glanced at his old friend angrily, and said to Gan Jing: "Don't be nervous, just play the state you were in just now, Gan Jing, you are still very talented." ”
Gan Jing nodded, and finally showed a smile on his face that he had never shown today, and nodded: "I will." ”
"Nacheng, let's go back first, how familiar and familiar the script is, and figure it out more. Chu Nian, you send Xiao Gan. Chen Kaige said that he still had something to do.
Gan Jing thanked him and went out with Chu Nian.
When he went out and walked in the community, he suddenly touched his head: "Director Chu, is it inappropriate for me to come to the door empty-handed like this?"
Chu Nian was very happy in his heart, Chen Kaige's choice also proved that he was not wrong, and he took Gan Jing north to the capital in vain.
Now hearing Gan Jing's words, he laughed: "What can you give? Director Chen doesn't lack anything, you just play the role well!"
Gan Jing listened to this, and made a decision in his heart, next time he came to Director Chen's side, he would definitely bring two boxes of brain platinum, and he was quite satisfied with his master Tan Yuan before.
He went out with Chu Nian, listening to the assistant director with artistic pigtails babbling all the way about how difficult it was this time, and how many extra things would be brought by changing the protagonist this time.
The coordination of various departments, the change of the script, and the turmoil of public opinion...... All of this has to be taken into account.
However, if you can answer with the box office at the end, then it will all be worth it.
chattered all the way, and when he finally got in the car and returned to the hotel alone, Gan Jing was a little in a trance.
I'm going to be the leading actor?
I'm going to become the leading actor of a great director?
Did I squeeze out a superstar?
It's like a dream, it's really like a dream.
"Ouch. ”
He pinched his thigh hard, drawing the attention of the taxi driver in the rearview mirror - where did the silly boy come from, grinning and smirking.
