Chapter 937: The Fourth (Two in One)
Gan Jing always felt that he was messing around with the invitation of two variety shows and an amateur player, and he had a feeling that the painting style was not right.
However, there are some factors that can't seem to be blamed on others, didn't you have a playful heart when you appeared on the stage on a variety show?
The film continued to be filmed, and the invitation during the fourth filming seemed to come as promised.
Gan Jing somehow felt relieved when he heard this invitation.
That's right! I'm still the actor Gan Jing!
This time the invitation is from Columbia and Marvel, who plan to create a new superhero, currently named Venom, or, translated as Poison, Poison.
This character will be an alternative superhero who is both good and evil.
Columbia set his sights on Forrest Gump after screening a circle of actors, needless to say, the Oscar-winning actor's acting skills are also very popular, especially in China, he is an iconic figure, and he once played a villain in a hero film - Bane, who broke the spine of the superhero Batman in "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises".
That time was Forrest Gump's first appearance in the superhero series, and the follow-up response was not bad.
As a giant film and television company in Hollywood, Columbia is relatively popular with Forrest Gump, and the reason why it is said to be a passerby is because it has never had any honeymoon period with Forrest Gump like Warner, and the reason why it is better is because Forrest Gump's first blockbuster is Columbia's post-apocalyptic film "2012".
also opened the way for Forrest Gump to go all the way in Hollywood.
This is a piece of incense.
"Andy, what do you think I should do to play a superhero like this?" Gan Jing discussed the matter with his veteran agent after getting the invitation.
"Personally, I think it's good, although your focus is on Asia now, but Hollywood is still the top place in the world, and Marvel's hero films have always been series. If you play this character and the evaluation is not too bad, then your influence will not fade in the next five or even ten years. "Andy is supportive.
Gan Jing thought for a while and asked a question: "Don't you think the name 'Venom' is a bit lo? What are the superheroes of Spider-Man, Wolverine, Captain America, and Iron Man, and when I came to me, they became a Venom ......."
Andy never expected Forrest Gump's point to be in this position, he could only be silent for a while and then reluctantly said: "What kind of title do you want?" Maybe you can discuss it with Marvel." ”
Gan Jing held the phone and continued to think, and when he had an idea, he said, "How about the Poison King?"
Andy: "...... Let's respect the original, Forrest Gump!"
Gan Jing didn't think it was bad to change this, but after he hung up the phone and asked the others, he had to accept the facts, and everyone seemed to think that Venom was a little bit so good.
So be it, so be it.
This superhero that is expected to be newly created is not only the cooperation between Marvel and Columbia, but also the other giant Sony, who is of course very cautious about the choice of actors, but prudence is cautious, and when the role arrives at Forrest Gump, the multiple considerations under prudence seem to be simple.
There is no other reason, he is Forrest Gump, he agreed, so what else is there to say?
Tentatively titled Venom: Lethal Guardian, it will be the first installment of the Venom trilogy in Marvel's plan, and they will continue to make adjustments to the story setting in the coming years - a change brought about by Forrest Gump's promise to join.
At the same time, Gan Jing also put forward the habitual conditions after the initial consent, Bairihong will participate in the investment and publicity of Huaxia, and in the previous consideration of Colombia, they prefer the goose factory with greater energy, but Bairihong is not bad, it is already a mature top film and television company in Huaxia.
The two sides negotiated relatively smoothly, and the investment share of Bairihong was initially calculated, and it will be about a quarter of the investment, roughly 25 million US dollars.
In other words, the production cost of "Venom" will be controlled by 100 million US dollars, and the profit margin is still relatively good, and the box office dividend of Bairi Red is higher than the investment amount.
Compared with "Mulan", which was also invested a while ago, the cost of that one is more than 1 times more, and Bairihong is more satisfied.
"Forrest Gump, only when I really saw you did I know how to push the back waves of the Yangtze River to push the front waves, congratulations, take a big series. ”
When Hollywood's entertainment media took the lead in announcing that Forrest Gump would star in the hero series, the domestic media quickly followed up and forwarded it, which was more eye-catching than other actions of Bairihong.
"It's not finalized yet, some cooperation is still being discussed, Fa Ge, congratulations early." Gan Jing expressed his modesty to Zhou Yanfa's congratulations.
Zhou Yunfa patted Forrest Gump's shoulder: "The future is terrifying and respectable." ”
Gan Jing smiled: "That's all pioneered by the predecessors." ”
"Are you sure who the heroine is?" Liang Chaowei walked over and asked.
Gan Jing thought for a while and said: "It's not completely settled yet, I don't know the actor they are talking about, it's Michelle Williams." ”
Liang Chaowei immediately said: "The Michelle who played "Brokeback Mountain", right?"
"Yes. "Gan Jing has already read the information.
"It's also relatively famous. Liang Chaowei commented, "It's just that you're not as famous, wouldn't it be better to use Hathaway or Scarlett?"
Gan Jing replied very quickly: "It is also necessary to control the cost, and in addition, neither of them is suitable." "Both of them have played roles in other hero series.
Unlike before, Gan Jing's role is wearing a mask and showing his face very little, which is why Columbia and Marvel still give priority to Forrest Gump after "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises".
In the crew of "Cold War 2", the matter of Forrest Gump's appointment is regarded as a tidbit and talking point, and other related people are very serious about how to get along and even completely determine the role they want.
For example, when I came to Disney to play, I learned that Forrest Gump was filming here, so I invited him to meet and communicate.
That's what Michelle did.
After meeting the Hollywood actress in Mong Kok, Gan Jing found that she was still a little different from what he imagined.
"Oh, your makeup today is a bit like the character you played?" Gan Jing thought it was funny, famous movie actors usually don't like to be labeled as a character they have played, and the one in front of him seems to be different.
Michelle Williams has debuted for a long time, she has starred in "Brokeback Mountain", and she has also starred in "The Age of Love", but the most well-known is probably the one "My Week with Monroe", she played Marilyn Monroe.
"It's a little faint, but it's obvious, isn't it?" said Michelle.
Gan Jing suddenly wanted to discuss her thoughts: "You don't mind being labeled like this? I mean, you played Marilyn Monroe, but after all, it's not her, don't you feel uncomfortable if others think of her at first glance?"
"As long as I can attract other people's attention, am I not all me?" Michelle blinked, well, people are different, and the style of blinking is also different.
Gan Jing could see that this Michelle was in a state of half-acting, and felt a little funny in his heart.
"I don't have a problem with who the crew chooses, neither the director Ruben nor you, I have raised any objections. Gan Jing picked out the key point, and said with a little hesitation, "Is it a rumor in private that I want to replace you or someone in the crew?"
Michelle shook her head: "No, I'm just going to see my partner first today, it's just a habit of mine." ”
Gan Jing seems to believe it or not, the actors have habits, but the crew has not yet been set up, and the approximate time for filming has not even been determined, so you come to see your partner at this time...... Is this a philatelic habit?
He has a slight guessing label in his heart, and he is more cautious in his words and deeds, well, if he wants to say it, he still prefers Scarlett and Hathaway, not the kind of people who take off their pants when they meet an invitation.
Of course, people didn't say that they wanted to delay, they just repeated their self-awareness.
Gan Jing's speech became more formal during the banquet, and he talked mostly about his thoughts and thoughts on "Venom", which is in Hong Kong, and he can't let people come to learn from the scriptures in vain, and everyone's ability to communicate and exchange business is not very good.
The dinner time was fleeting, and until before leaving, Michelle did not receive any signal that belonged to a man, she was a little frustrated in her heart, but she also admired this actor who was listed as one of the most charming oriental men.
"I hope that our cooperation will be smooth in the future, pay attention to safety on the road, and drink more hot water. ”
Gan Jing's parting words were very domestic characteristics, and when he said this, he suddenly pondered, and he really didn't know how the United States expressed similar meanings.
I'm going to eat? I'm going to take a shower? Good night? Drink plenty of hot water?
Emmm……
In late June, Zhou Yanfa's role in "Cold War 2" was completed, and he, the leading actor, was the first to leave the group, leaving Liang Chaowei and Forrest Gump.
This time during filming, although Gan Jing didn't feel that there was any acting chemistry with this senior, he could still see his level of dedication.
I don't know if there is really a change in the atmosphere, Gan Jing always feels that the older generation of actors seems to be more dedicated when filming, young actors, they seem to have worked hard, but the momentum always feels that something is almost something.
Gan Jing doesn't know that this is not the past and the present, but in the end, he himself is "today".
"Cold War 2" played freely, seeing that his role was almost over, Gan Jing refocused on other things, "Wolf Warrior 2" began to be announced, Huang Bo is seriously directing his movie "A Good Show", and other artists in the company have their own film contracts.
Everything seems to be in order, and there's nothing too much to worry about.
Gan Jing was quite satisfied with this state after reviewing it, and he preferred to be an actor rather than a chairman.
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
At the end of the day, the phone vibrates.
"Come to Hong Kong to play, would Mr. Gan be willing to play with him?" Scarlett texted.
"Huh, you're coming to Hong Kong?" Gan Jing was a little strange, her first reaction was that she also wanted to consider the role, but she soon felt that something was wrong, this is a very popular black widow.
"Isn't that welcome? Venom doesn't welcome Black Widow?" Scarlett put on a red-lip emoji after the text message.
Gan Jing silently reviewed it, he really dealt with things a lot, and his first reaction to her was other thoughts...... It's so unacceptable...... But......
"Welcome, of course welcome. Gan Jing quickly replied to the text message, "However, I have a question that I have always been curious about. ”
"You say. "Scarlett probably didn't leave her phone either, and she was back in seconds.
"I've heard for a long time that women have excellent makeup skills and can paint in different styles. Do you paint Monroe's makeup style?" Gan Jing pressed his phone, slightly expectant.
This time the reply was a little slower.
Buzz.
"See you the day after tomorrow. ”
Gan Jing looked at the words on the screen, and had a vague expectation in his heart, going to bed early and getting up early, recuperating and receiving friends, which is more important.
The rain hits the plantains, and the wind blows the leaves.
The weather in Hong Kong suddenly became fierce in late June.
……
Beijing International Trade Phase II, Bairihong Film and Television Company.
"Xi Min, have you heard about the boss? He's going to play a superhero, or that kind of protagonist hero. ”
"Well, of course I know, I also know that the company is trying to persuade other companies to fully adopt Huaxia Film and Television special effects, Sony and Columbia are not very happy, saying that they are at most willing to let Huaxiao enter the game. Why do you suddenly care about this, Director Yang Da, you also want to make a hero blockbuster?" Zhao Ximin, who is now the head of the copyright department, laughed at his boyfriend.
Director Yang Aiyan, who was newly nominated for the Oscar for Best Documentary in China, had a normal face, but after hearing this, he suddenly darkened a little, and he hesitated to open his mouth.
"Xi Min, I applied to direct the film independently, but the company didn't approve it, so I was asked to be an assistant director in other crews. ”
Zhao Ximin was keenly aware of the change in her boyfriend's tone, raised her head from the copy, carefully looked at Yang Aiyan's expression, and asked after a little thought: "Someone outside invited you to direct a movie?"
Yang Aiyan is not surprised by her girlfriend's intelligence, and it seems that because of this, she has also improved very quickly in Bairihong.
"Well, a film company invited me to make an urban romance drama. Yang Aiyan said this, and his eyes were shining, "Although the investment of 50 million is not too much, it is purely my independent director!"
Zhao Ximin pursed his lips slightly, although 50 million is not too much......
"Director Yang, I don't recommend that you go out and direct a movie independently now. Zhao Ximin adopted a formal title, "Bairihong is not a stingy company, and I believe that other people's suggestions are also for your good." ”
Yang Aiyan exhaled and nodded, "I know, they are for my good." But, however, there is such an opportunity for me to direct independently right now in front of me!"
Zhao Ximin looked at Yang Aiyan's expression and looked at his expectant gaze, was silent for a while, and gave an answer under a dual identity.
"If you were to choose that way, I would have reservations. ”(https:)
