How do you tell if an actor is suitable for a role?

Sometimes it is necessary to have both a past word-of-mouth impression and a momentary impression.

Gan Jing felt that Liu Yifei's makeup photos were a little better than he imagined, with dull thick eyebrows, wheat-colored skin bottoms, high cheekbones, and a girl's blush on her cheeks, which was both heroic and oriental.

Disney's "Mulan" animated live-action movie to be made this time has a precedent before, and works such as "Frozen", "Sleep Curse", "Beauty and the Beast Live-Action", and "Magic Cinderella" have all had good box office.

They produced an animated version of "Mulan" in '98, and the global box office reached $304 million at that time, and the total box office of Chinese movies in China at that time was about 1.1 billion Chinese dollars.

This time, the live-action version of "Mulan" is remade, which can be regarded as inheriting the tradition.

The mahjong in Forrest Gump's villa is still rubbing, and the dogs in the yard are still thinking about dogs from time to time, but Gan Jing is starting to get busy.

Bai Rihong and Disney have a good chat about cooperation, this animated film Gan Jing is willing to invest 40 million US dollars, and at the same time, both sides will carry out cooperation in animation categories in China and Asia.

Disney is of course very willing to expand its influence in China, and Bairi Red is based on the calculation of the advanced to lead the backward, just like when the Oscar winner of the best visual effects was hired to join the Huaxia Film and Television Special Effects Company, and now the localized technology is world-class.

Gan Jing is considering opening up another animation department in Bairihong, not the kind of many episodes that will be done at once, and slowly animate the first season of the mythological TV series "Sage Lich".

Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, children can't understand the TV series, you can start with the animation first, and after a little older, these are reserve troops.

Lao Chen felt a little coke for Forrest Gump to think so much, but it can be regarded as proof that the boss is ambitious.

"Lao Chen, have you contacted Liu Yifei?" Gan Jing called his president after working for a few days.

"I've made an appointment to meet and talk the day after tomorrow. Lao Chen reported the situation, "If you sign in to the company like this, you have to think carefully about the allocation of resources in the future." ”

Gan Jing held his mobile phone and pondered, this big production is an opportunity for any actress, and Liu Yifei is certainly no exception, otherwise she would not have contacted herself.

However, if the work that Bairihong participated in the investment is recommended by himself, it is a bit too good, what he has always advocated is a win-win situation, this work can be pushed to you to act, but Bairihong also wants those benefits, for example, capturing an actor.

Liu Yifei has maintained a good relationship with Bairihong in the past two years, she has to play quite a lot of scenes in the first season of "The Sage Lich", and she also has a constant appearance in the second season of "Human God World", if nothing else, she will make a cameo appearance in the role of Nuwa in the mythological TV series in the next few seasons.

Therefore, Gan Jing's first reaction after seeing the makeup photos that satisfied her for the first time was to ask the company to sign her, according to the model of studio affiliation with Huang Bo and Zhou Xun.

Now big actors like to be more active and stronger, but the resources are just that, it's okay if Bairihong doesn't participate in investment, once he participates in investment, he must have his own interests.

Of course, the allocation of internal resources within the company is a problem after signing, and actors like Liu Yifei can't be treated like small actors, and every actor who signs in is the object of attention of outside actors, and everyone will look at the development situation to measure the distance of cooperation.

If Zinnia wants to get better and better, that is to consider all aspects.

"Well, you express your meaning first, and then I'll come forward if you need me to come forward. Gan Jing said after deliberation, "You can tell her bluntly that the competition for this role is very fierce." Zhang Ziyi's martial arts fan is indeed better than her, and so is her international fame. Anyway, let's lower the price first. ”

"Don't worry, it won't be messed up. Lao Chen agreed to come down.

After Gan Jing hung up the phone, he first organized a few words, and then dialed Liu Yifei's phone.

After looking at the makeup photos of all the actors, although he had a tendency in his heart, he did not make a single call to this group of competitors, and when he received direct or euphemistic inquiries, he only vaguely said that he was still evaluating.

Now, it's time to reply.

"Liu Yifei, your makeup photo is not bad, how did you figure it out?" Gan Jing went straight to the point, expressing his surprise.

Liu Yifei has been patiently not asking about the results in the past few days, and she is also a little nervous when she receives a call from Forrest Gump, and she doesn't know the final result: "Well, Brother Gan, I also think it's good." Actually, I took a group, but you said that they were all two, so I picked two photos that felt the best. ”

She continued: "I really liked this role, so I used more snacks in the preparation, and I invited Georgia, a veteran Hollywood stylist. ”

Gan Jing nodded, knowing in his heart that the two photos selected by Liu Yifei were actually a restoration of the scenes in the animated movie, but it was true that the people had a good background and found the right experts.

"Yes, you can send the rest of the photos directly to my mailbox and take a look. Gan Jing paused and said, "You know, I'm just going to give Disney a reference, for now, you're good in this regard, and when the Disney team comes over, I'll recommend a few people who feel good to them." ”

"Disney requires both play and English to pass, so you can be targeted. Gan Jing said that Disney's superficial opinion is that they are casting in the world, of course, there must be clear standards, but in fact, people may not respect these, otherwise the voice actors are retained.

"Okay, Brother Gan, I'll pay more attention. Hang up the phone and I'll send you all the makeup photos to your email. Liu Yifei said.

Gan Jing responded, and after thinking about it, he made all the calls himself, so let's say it by the way.

"Liu Yifei, I think it's quite pleasant for us to cooperate in the mythological TV series, are you interested in joining us in Bairihong? ”

"You know Lao Chen's talks, this is what he wants to talk about, you can think about it. ”

Liu Yifei replied with some hesitation: "Okay, Brother Gan, I will think about it." ”

Gan Jing chatted with her a few more words about "Mulan" before hanging up the phone.

At present, after reading the makeup photos of the actresses, he is most satisfied with Liu Yifei's photos, but it may not be possible to say that it cannot be replaced, Zhang Ziyi is slightly behind, and Tang Wei is also a little unexpected.

If Liu Yifei didn't agree, then Gan Jing would really have to put pressure on the choice of the role.

He took the phone and thought for a while, flipped through the address book and began to continue to reply to other people - this kind of reply strength is not easy to grasp, not only to be able to express the meaning, but also not to lose face.

It's not easy to politely refuse, but fortunately, Gan Jing has a partner who carries the blame, and isn't Disney's group of foreigners the best backstabbers.

Gan Jing's cautious reply lasted for nearly a day, and finally after repeated consideration, he listed Zhang Ziyi, Tang Wei, and Liu Yifei as recommended alternatives, and when the Disney casting team officially came to Huaxia, he would depend on the situation.

After pondering about the role of "Mulan" for two more days, Gan Jing waited for Liu Yifei's decision after meeting Lao Chen, and finally put his energy back into "Cold War 2" that he was going to star in.

Hong Kong Anle Films attaches great importance to a series with a good reputation, and after carefully building the crew, they called the director and assistant director to the capital, and deduced the changes to the scripts of Forrest Gump and Leung Chaowei, these two leading actors are not weak in their ability to change the script, especially Forrest Gump, a big name, he has moved too many scripts since he started in the industry.

Gan Jing was a little embarrassed that director Liang Lemin personally ran through the capital to "listen to the teachings", so that he really looked like a drama bully, in fact, isn't it reasonable to give some opinions to the crew, everyone's understanding of themselves is really biased.

At the beginning of May, the crew of "Cold War 2" was officially completed.

Director Liang Lemin is the director who followed the previous work, starring Forrest Gump and Liang Chaowei, the two original big names, there is also an additional Zhou Runfa, who is the legislator Jian Aowei who starred in the story.

On May 3, the crew held a media conference in Hong Kong to announce the official start of the crew.

Hong Kong journalists are faster than Western journalists, and the paparazzi among them are even more famous.

At this meeting, someone raised a question, why did the movie, which is known as the last classic Hong Kong film, invite Forrest Gump, an original mainlander, to star? In this case, is it still a Hong Kong film?

Gan Jing personally answered this question.

"Why is it called a Hong Kong film, this is because its story is a traditional police film in Hong Kong films. But Hong Kong films are almost dead, and there is no denying this. As a result, there is an attempt to break through the traditional meaning of police and gangster films. ”

"In addition, I think Hong Kong films need to be inclusive in order to have further development, it needs to accommodate good actors, Hong Kong films should have this confidence, instead of hiding on the side and muttering, whether this actor is from Hong Kong or not, whether the actor is from the mainland. Be confident, don't feel inferior. ”

"I'm confident that I'm a good actor, and I want you to be confident. ”

Gan Jing pushed and knocked, and the reporter who asked the question was red-faced, Forrest Gump had been tepid at the meeting, why did he suddenly react so much to his own question.

Other reporters took pictures and immediately posted dynamic news, and the reporter who asked the question could only sit down silently and sort out the language.

By the time the press conference was over, the news hit quickly.

- "Forrest Gump has a tough attitude and bluntly says that Hong Kong films are dead"

- "Mainland Actor in Hong Kong Films"

- "Who Lacks Confidence?"

Gan Jing was only sharpened by the attitude issues of being touched on in different regions, but he really didn't expect the public opinion media in Hong Kong to react so much to this, and he really felt that there was some fuss here.

"Forrest Gump, I have admired my name for a long time, and it is really better to be famous than to meet. I just like actors who are confident. Zhou Yunfa arrived in Hong Kong a little late, so he directly participated in the meeting, which was the first time he met Forrest Gump.

"Fa Ge, I'm the one who has admired Fa Ge for a long time, no, I grew up watching Fa Ge movies. Gan Jing's attitude towards his predecessors is very modest, "I still remember Fa Ge's classic line, 'I waited for three years. I just want to wait for a chance! I'm not trying to prove that I'm great. I'm here to tell people that I'm going to get back what I've lost!'. ”

Zhou Yanfa laughed, and said happily: "I thought Forrest Gump would be a person with a big temper, but I didn't expect that this was completely different from just now." ”

Gan Jing pursed his lips and smiled: "They are deliberately looking for fault, and they want me to speak inappropriately, since they are so flirtatious, then I will really say it, anyway, it is the truth." ”

"It's no problem for you to tell the truth, and it's long been no longer limited to one place. Zhou Yan sighed, "Hong Kong movies are indeed over their golden age, I hope this movie can be a good film as advertised, at least on the surface." ”

Gan Jing smiled and said nothing, he only needs to say this kind of thing once if Hong Kong films are not Hong Kong films, and it is purely boring to talk about this in front of so many Hong Kong actors.

There are a few big names in the crew, so they don't worry much about how the news releases outside are scribbled, and on May 5, "Cold War 2" officially started operating amid the discussion of the outside world.

It's just that when the crew passed the first day smoothly, Gan Jingdu had not yet started acting, and the Disney official "Mulan" casting team arrived in Hong Kong and came to visit the chairman of Bairihong, which was a strong dragon to say hello to the head snake.

"Forrest Gump, it's nice to see you. Gold medal producer Osborne is undoubtedly the most powerful in this industry, and he held Forrest Gump's hand tightly as soon as they met.

"I'm also very happy to meet you, I'm looking forward to the live-action animated film of Mulan, and I want to see how people you understand are different from me. ”

"If you are willing to make a cameo in the script, then I can try to suggest that the world-famous actor Mr. Gan Jing should play Mulan. "Osborne is a wonderful person, and what he said when he first met undoubtedly proves that he really cares about Forrest Gump's situation.

Whether it was Peking Opera or singing before, Forrest Gump's reversal was very amazing.

However, of course, Gan Jing would not snatch this role, he couldn't help but refuse with a little cry and laughter: "Could it be that your Disney is not rich in princesses now, but instead produces princes?"

"Willing to change for Forrest Gump. "Osborne is very vocal.

Gan Jing smiled and waved his hand, stopping the further progress of commercial blowing.

"Before you came, I had already looked at the actors, and personally I liked the three actors, and I knew a little bit about them. ”

Osborne nodded: "Well, we know about it, and this is the right of investors." ”(https:)
