Chapter 141: Persuasion
Outside the audition room, John was communicating with his agent.
"Don't worry, John, the director has confirmed that you are going to star in "2012", this Oriental is just going through the motions because of his feelings, and nothing will change"
John's agent, who is also a senior agent, knew the secret, and he smiled and said, "What's wrong with you? Are you still afraid of being defeated by this young man?"
Twenty years after his debut, he has starred in dozens of works, and he has won several best actor awards in different awards, and now he has beaten all competitors, will he be afraid of a young man?
Thinking so, John comforted himself for a while, and smiled confidently, "That's right. ”
In the audition room, after Gan Jing came in, he forgot about what happened outside the door just now, and he now needs to devote himself to attacking the two bosses sitting in front of him.
One is director Roland and the other is producer Larry, the situation in the United States is different from that in China, the status of the producer is usually higher than that of the director.
Of course, a super director like James Cameron doesn't count.
Gan Jing greeted the two sitting men, and nodded and smiled at a black man standing behind him, but he didn't know what this black man was doing.
Director Roland and producer Larry flipped through the thin resumes on the table, and they both knew the Chinese who had recently become famous in the United States.
"Forrest Gump, hello. Start by paying tribute to your heroic move. Roland smiled very kindly and asked, "How are you doing in the United States? I heard that you have been developing in China before, what are the similarities and differences when you came to the United States? Is it more free?"
This question...... Gan Jing suddenly smelled a bad breath in his heart, and replied cautiously: "The biggest thing about coming here is that my English has improved. ”
Since entering the room, his self-introduction and dialogue have been in English, which is quite fluent and natural.
Roland didn't seem to have any intention of asking, didn't delve into the matter of "freedom", and continued to talk on the topic of Ganjing.
The two were chatting, and Larry, the producer who was seated, looked down at the materials on the table, and didn't seem to be involved in the topic at all.
Gan Jing felt that it was not right, this was different from the scene he had envisioned before, he simulated a few scenes with his agent Andy last night, and discussed the plot of the script, but after arriving today, he didn't mention the script at all.
He remembered what John the white man he had met before he entered the door had said—"You're Forrest Gump who came through the motions?"
When things go wrong, there must be demons, foreigners are rectum and don't hide words, Gan Jing saw that things seemed to go in the direction that John expected, and a motivation suddenly arose in his heart, today's audition is about cooperation with Warner, about the development of his career, and more about whether he can get more attention, so he can't just leave it at that.
"Mr. Roland, Mr. Larry, I've been reading the script of "2012" lately, and I found it to be a good book. If I were to play it, I would be more suitable than John. Gan Jing took advantage of the moment when Roland was drinking water, and suddenly got straight to the point and mentioned the name of the competitor.
Larry and Roland glanced at each other, a little surprised, aren't the Chinese people in their impressions more reserved?
After hearing this, Roland did not ask Gan Jing for the reason, but said, "I know." Forrest Gump, we will carefully study whether you are suitable for it, you can go back and wait for news. ”
This is a euphemistic refusal, but these two people haven't even auditioned yet, and they really went through the motions?
"I have several strengths that others can't match. Gan Jing continued despite Roland's refusal.
Roland had a slight dissatisfaction on his face, and was about to interrupt Gan Jing's self-description, when Larry next to him suddenly said, "Then you can talk about it." ”
The director was stunned and smiled silently: "Then let's talk about it." "The status of the producer is clear.
"First of all, I am from Huaxia. Gan Jing said confidently.
The two bosses are puzzled, and there are almost no Chinese people in Hollywood, which is a big disadvantage.
Gan Jing continued: "This film is going to China, and it is also going to be released in China. I'm from Huaxia and undoubtedly have more gimmicks. "The news of the release in Huaxia has not yet been announced, and Gan Jing got the speculation from Andy, and now it is taken for granted from the faces of the director and producer.
"Second, I'm a hero, which fits the script. For the box office in North America, if it is released quickly, there will be a certain topic and pull. "If a rescue hero is no longer a hero, then there is no hero.
"Third, I'm underpaid......" He really didn't want to mention this, but at the moment any advantages had to be put up.
Gan Jing then said: "I can fly a plane, and there can be such shooting in the film, which can have better results." Like the part in the script that escapes from Yellowstone, it is completely possible to write the pilot to death, and the protagonist will fly the plane. I can have real cockpit shooting. ”
Hearing this, producer Larry's eyes suddenly became a little witty, he glanced at the director, and Roland's face was a little helpless.
"You want to change the script before you join the group?" Roland gritted his teeth a little somehow, "Moreover, the role of the driver is my nephew, played by a veteran actor!"
"Uh......" Gan Jing felt like he had nothing to say.
Is that a coincidence? Do you have to put your nephew in this role......
Director Roland complained a little, and when Gan Jing stated a few more reasons, he still said like that: "We know, wait for the news." ”
Still don't give the audition? Gan Jing's heart is cool and cool, he is not very willing, but the advantages he can say seem to be finished, this is completely an irresistible factor of manpower, people don't audition at all, and Andy doesn't seem to know the inside story here, otherwise it is impossible not to tell himself in advance.
"Huh. Gan Jing sighed slightly and said, "Then I'll wait for good news at the hotel." ”
Just as he was going out, the phone of the black man who had been standing at the back suddenly rang, and without saying a word, he stepped forward and walked up to the producer Larry and whispered a few words in his ear.
Larry was stunned, shouted to Gan Jing, who was going out, muttered for a while, and said in Gan Jing's inexplicable look: "Go back and wait for news, we will make a decision tomorrow at the latest." ”
This attitude...... It seems to have changed a little, but I still haven't auditioned......
Gan Jing's already disappointed heart was suddenly raised again, he took a deep look at Larry, who was obviously surprised, and Roland, the director who was even more surprised, and said with a smile: "Then I am waiting for your good news." ”
Hope is good news, after all, 2012 is going to run to China for refuge!
There is no Chinese man as the leading actor, how can you be embarrassed?!
