Chapter 433: Hammer and Ice

The Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon in 2012 has passed, and the gala is still full of praise and disapproval, but Forrest Gump and Tan Jing's chorus is mostly praised, thinking that it is a breakthrough.

Of course, many people don't know that this is just a small test of Forrest Gump's voice.

Tan Jing originally agreed with him to come out and sing K after the Spring Festival Gala, but because of the urgent trip to the United States, this agreement could only be postponed.

Gan Jing feels good about this singer in the system, this eldest sister does not have that kind of temperament in the system, she can be positioned as a silly eldest sister who likes to sing, and judging from the current contact, she is a friend who can make friends.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Forrest Gump's studio held a wave of video conferences, with Lao Chen, Zhou Dongyu, Zhou Pu, Senny and several middle and high-level executives attending the screen.

At this meeting, Comrade Gan Jing made an important speech on the future direction of the studio, and the participants said that they would do their own work, expand their extra work, and give full play to people's subjective initiative.

At the same time, Comrade Gan Jing was gratified and put forward three requirements, made five instructions, and raised his salary.

For a while, the members of the studio were smiling, and the military order flew up.

After this day, Gan Jing contacted Jackie Chan again and asked about his film and television project, and sure enough, there was a movie of "Zodiac" in preparation, this film is a work that Jackie Chan intends to write, direct, and act in, and it is his 101st film, so he attaches great importance to it.

Gan Jing chatted with him for a while, and he owed him a favor, so he stuffed Zhou Dongyu into it, and was expected to play a supporting actress who was not weak in the scene.

Lao Chen was not shocked by the news, and after knowing it, he arranged the work, connected with the team of Jackie Chan, and then notified Zhou Dongyu of the exact news.

By the time the girl knew that her next work would be a big production of Jackie Chan, Uncle Gan was already sitting on a flight to the City of Angels in the United States.

She didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment, so in the end she could only sigh and smile, wishing Uncle Gan, the boss, Gan Jing, and the actor a smooth trip in her heart.

……

"Hey, dear Forrest Gump, I miss you to death. ”

The flight arrived in Los Angeles, and Andy, who hadn't seen him for a while, burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm, and suddenly confused Gan Jing.

"What's the situation? Could it be that the upcoming marriage has broken your orientation?" Gan Jing patted the buddy on the shoulder, and quickly used words to get rid of some of the life caused by not being seen for a while.

"No, no, no, I just remember the first time I met you. Andy smiled, "I didn't expect you to one day be performing in Warner's superhero series." ”

"How? Can you be sure? Don't you have to audition?" Gan Jing was a little surprised.

"Auditions, of course. It's just that you've never let me down, so I'm sure that's the case this time. Andy smiled unabated, took Forrest Gump's luggage, and said as he walked, "The role competition factors are more complicated, there are some investment factors, and in addition, some people are inevitably cautious when it comes to yellow skin." ”

Racism is a pervasive problem in Hollywood, even among black actors who often struggle with it.

Whites come first, blacks come second, and Hispanics and Asians come last.

This is clearly unfair, and it is clearly the reality.

Gan Jing has always known that there is such a situation, but he is either because of his acting skills, investment, or the market, and there is still relatively little hidden discrimination he encounters.

"What's the matter? This is still discriminating against me?" Gan Jing was a little incredulous, "My "Untouchable" has already been selected for the Oscar, okay. ”

"That's just one aspect, the main thing is that the CAA exerts a very important force. At the mention of CAA, Andy's face became a little more serious.

The protagonists of "Batman 3" are Christian Bale and Anne Hathaway, and the director is Christopher Nolan, and these three confirmed celebrities are all affiliated with CAA.

Creative-Artists-Agency, an innovative talent agency, it's really innovative, it's just been founded for 75 years, and it's also really strong.

"So......" Gan Jing knocked his forehead, "bundled sales? The guy I'm competing with is also a CAA signed artist?"

"Yes. Andy answered in the affirmative.

Bundling is the usual way of CAA, you use my director, then use my actors, and the soundtrack and special effects post-production can also be one-stop service.

Signed directors, Nolan, Spielberg, Cameron.

Signed actors, Hanks, Cruise, Pitt.

Signed singers, Madonna, BeyoncΓ©, Justin.

As long as you can afford the expense, you can choose from these options, and if the budget is not enough, there are many second- and third-tier artists on the list.

"What does that solution look like?" asked Gan Jing.

Andy pondered for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it at the hotel." ”

Gan Jing took a deep look at him, and for the first time noticed the uncertainty under Andy's expression, although he was not sure when he gave the backup script and the news, that attitude and mood were stable.

This time...... Probably not a small trouble.

After arriving at the hotel, Andy explained in detail, and then Gan Jing was stunned.

"The lead actor disagrees?"

"The heroine doesn't agree?"

"The director doesn't agree?"

"Half of Warner's top brass disagree?"

"And who agrees?"

Gan Jing asked in one breath.

Andy pointed at himself with his index finger, then turned over and pointed at Gan Jing, and let out a long laugh: "The heroes of the world are the only ones who make you and your ears." ”

Well, it's.

Gan Jing looked at the agent who was suddenly relaxed again, and still praised: "Your Chinese level is still better than when I first met you." The meaning is well expressed. ”

"Really?" Andy immediately rejoiced, "I'm going to let the pastor use Chinese when I get married, it's cool." ”

"Anyway, why did your marriage contract be postponed?" Gan Jing remembered a question.

"Because she just had a baby, she should stabilize it first and not be too tired, so we discussed it and postponed it. Andy smiled sweetly.

"Congratulations, congratulations. Gan Jing bowed his hand and congratulated.

The atmosphere in the room relaxed for a while, but after all, it was back to the core issue.

"Since those people didn't agree, how did you put me in the audition?" It was Andy who first informed him of his chance to compete for the role, and Gan Jing now thinks about it, that group of people must have not considered himself in the first place.

"The first point is that the box office of "Untouchable" is really influential. Andy patiently introduced the situation, "The second point, using the box office influence of this movie, I put some fake news, if the group does not tilt resources, you will jump ship, Columbia and Fox have secretly contacted you." ”

"The third point is that CAA is indeed too powerful, and it is not my intention to take out a hammer and smash this solid ice, but you are the hammer. ”

"You're the hammer! Your whole family is a hammer!" Gan Jing rolled his eyes, his mood relaxed a little, not alone.
