Chapter 335: Straw
Bastian, a French national treasure, finally agreed to the invitation of "Untouchable" and will choose a soundtrack suitable for the scene.
In terms of price, for the sake of Mei's face, for the sake of Gan Jing's barely half of his peers, it is a little cheaper.
Not only did the money not spend much, but the price was low, which made Olivele ignorant, east, west, north and south, and praised Peking Opera as still useful, and if Gan Jing's Peking Opera troupe came to France to perform, he would definitely cheer.
For this kind of person who doesn't understand Peking Opera at all, Gan Jing can only maintain a polite smile.
This trip, he had a special gain, and unexpectedly met Bastian, who was an old friend of Mei Lanfang, and exchanged contact information with each other.
He is a person who has been performing in major concert halls all year round and has a lot of experience, and if there is a tour of the Peking Opera Troupe in the future, maybe he is the right key.
Bastian's work on the score was post-production, and when the film was filmed, it was sent to him, and the artist watched the film several times to choose the right music.
There were people in the crew who could do the work, but the effect was obviously not satisfactory to Olivier.
In any case, Gan Jing and Olivier have done one thing together, fulfilling a few of their responsibilities as a producer.
If he wasn't there, it would be normal for Bastian to ask for two or three times as much money as he wantedβthe artist's price, would that count as the price?
That's called filial piety.
On March 25, Ann arrived in Europe a little later than the appointed time, and arrived in Paris after finishing his own activities.
On this day, he didn't wait for Gan Jing's scene to end, but went to the crew to visit the class - yes, for so long, the person who officially visited Forrest Gump to shoot was an old gentleman in his fifties.
At the filming location, the famous Chinese director Ang Lee had a successful meeting with Mr. Gan Jing in a wheelchair.
"This is Director Olivier, this is Director Ang Lee, haven't you seen each other before?" Gan Jing made an introduction, and then saw the black-eyed black actor Omar, smiled and pointed at him, "This is my partner Omar." β
"Although I am a little immature, I have made great progress, and I am getting better and better. Gan Jing commented in a senior tone, but no one present thought it was anything unusual.
Ang Lee greeted each other one by one, he is still very well-known internationally, and this popularity is supported by those directors who are beaten by him in the awards.
Therefore, he doesn't need to be too polite, just greetings are enough.
Gan Jing didn't actually have any concept of a director of this level, but he saw Omar's satisfied expression.
"Hey, I said, Director Li, a black actor like Omar, can you recognize him the second time after you meet?" Gan Jing and Ang Lee stepped aside, and the crew sent over two chairs to leave a quiet space.
Li An had a kind smile on his face: "I'm a little face blind. β
Gan Jingwaner, mentioning the matter: "Are you still satisfied with the level of special effects in our company?"
Such a straightforward question made the smile on Li An's face slowly retract, and he frowned: "It's better than I imagined, not as good as I expected." β
Is this a bargain or a genuine evaluation?
Gan Jing's heart quickly turned, and his mouth said: "Our company has hired Amber for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, you know?"
"It doesn't matter how much he can contribute to your company, and winning the award alone is not his credit alone. Ang Lee was noncommittal.
This director is not confused by the Best Visual Effects Award, too, he has already won the Best Director himself.
Gan Jing couldn't help judging in his heart, but Li An's expression didn't fluctuate.
"Forrest Gump, actually. Ang Lee's brows still did not loosen, "The special effects of this film are the top priority, so I would only look for an actor in India before, even if he is a newcomer." β
The special effects are greater than the actors, this is the subconscious meaning of the words, Gan Jing understood, but just smiled: "A good actor can always play an unexpected effect." β
"At this point, Director Li, I am confident. Gan Jingzheng said, "In terms of the technical level of special effects, our company is still in the process of integration, and Hollywood companies will not have a team as large as us to overcome all aspects of effects." At present, five project teams have been formed. Besides, support domestic products. β
Li An said slowly: "When I heard that I was going to use special effects, the production company on the island found me, but I didn't dare to use them. "That's a Taiwanese special effects company.
Gan Jing pursed his lips, looking at the situation, Ang Li was not bargaining, he was really not satisfied.
Why do you have to work so hard to get things done!?
How can it be so rugged to accomplish a goal?!
Why am I always the one who gets hurt?
"That's it. Gan Jing complained in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, "Director Li, our film is planning to impact the Oscars of the year after tomorrow, and it will be filmed in the second half of this year, and the special effects production cycle will take a year...... Hollywood companies are going to give you a team of one or two hundred people, and the number of people on our side is far more than that. β
"In addition, special effects production requires a budget, and if Huaxia Film and Television Special Effects Company is next, the funds are not enough, or in other words, it also needs money to keep improving. Gan Jing remembered Bastian's words, smiled inexplicably, and said slowly, "My salary can also be subsidized." β
"In this way, a Cannes actor and an Oscar-nominated actor will be paid zero pay to film for you, is it cost-effective?" Gan Jing still didn't think it was enough, "If this money is not enough to make the effect you want, I will spend my own money in Hollywood and smash people to do special effects for you." β
Ang Lee's brows loosened, and his face was full of amazement.
At present, Gan Jing's worth has not been discussed in detail, but according to the blessing of his awards, a film made by a person like Life Pi can get tens of millions of dollars in Hollywood, and considering his natural appeal to the domestic market, the price can be even higher.
After just such a moment's effort, Gan Jing was going to spend tens of millions of dollars in front of him? Did he have an expectation or a temporary decision?
For a while, Ang Lee was shocked and didn't know what to say.
"Why?" asked Ang Lee for a long time.
"First, I believe that Huaxia Film and Television Special Effects Company may not be able to spend my salary. Gan Jing crossed his fingers and narrated one by one.
"Second, the development of an industry always needs someone to support it, and I hope to see the day when the global competition in the Huaxia special effects industry will come. β
"Third, if I succeed in the Oscars, it will add a lot of value to my own value. β
Gan Jing smiled: "Are these reasons enough?"
Ang Lee nodded, and then reminded: "If this script is filmed, it may not be able to win or even be shortlisted for Best Actor." β
Both people know the story of the script, and its framework has limited the way the actors perform, so Ang Lee feels that Gan Jing's sacrifice is a bit big.
Gan Jing nodded and pointed at Li An: "I have confidence in you."
Then, he pointed to himself: "I have confidence in myself too. β
Ang Lee was speechless.
After thinking for a long time, the director nodded a little tiredly: "Make a CG tiger first, if you can, then use your company." β
Gan Jing smiled slightly, knowing that he used the salary as the last straw, and finally pressed the balance to his side.
He stood up, took two steps, looked up with some emotion, looked at the blue sky of Paris, suddenly smiled, and said to Ang Lee.
"Please call me Secretary-General Gan. β
