Chapter 449: Missing (2-in-1)
You are firedγ
This is Barry Meyer personally calling Forrest Gump to recount what he said about firing Smith.
- You're fired.
- You can fuck off.
This sentence was personally ordered by the CEO of Warner Bros. Entertainment to the executives of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Warner Bros. Pictures, and the effect was naturally outstanding, without any drag.
Smith's office was quickly emptied, and the Warner producer of the "Cloud Atlas" crew was also cleared, but Barry Mayer does not seem to hide that Forrest Gump was the source of his actions this time, or that he deliberately knocked Forrest Gump on purpose.
Gan Jing answered Meyer's phone call, and finally extracted the central idea - Warner's own system, how can you let you do this nonsense? For the sake of being a big actor, just this time, it's not an example, it's really not an example.
In the face of the big boss's kind care, Gan Jing naturally said again and again that he is a person who keeps to himself, and he has always been filming with peace and stability, how can he deliberately cause trouble?
If there is a situation, it is also something that troubles me!
Gan Jing is satisfied with the final result, and is willing to bear a small price.
- "According to insiders, Forrest Gump is the result of public relations!"
- "According to a reliable informant, Forrest Gump has secretly married and had children!"
- "According to Warner insiders, Forrest Gump's sexual orientation is different!"
A series of gossip tabloids gathered the water army on the American Internet, Gan Jing's wife has two more, godfathers have three, daughters have four, and other relatives who have not been counted are a few.
To be honest, Gan Jing thinks this way is a bit lo.
However, Hook Nose seems to be such a person in its own right, so it is not surprising that insiders, reliable informants, Warner insiders, who else can there be other than Smith, who has just been expelled?
This time Smith was fired at a great price, his resume has a permanent stain, a senior like him will do background checks when he enters any company, and the normal Warner suddenly fires an executive for no reason, he must have done something against the principle.
Gan Jing also learned about it from Andy later, and confirmed that this Smith's connections will also encounter freezing points, Meyer is doing a great job, and will secretly inform major companies, and the tacit understanding between giants will lower an iron curtain in front of the hook nose, and Smith will basically find it difficult to mix in Hollywood.
For this kind of weft reduction attack, Gan Jing has no sympathy.
Chinese people don't appear much in foreign movies, if you bully it today, and he bullies it tomorrow, it will be even more difficult to survive.
In Hollywood, the characters in the script are basically picked by white people first, then by black people, and the last leftovers are Asians.
If there is a different skin tone matching, it is also a black and white Oreo color, and one white and one yellow are extremely rare.
Since his debut, Gan Jing has certainly broken through the Asian personality and starred in several good films, but these are all shown by the skin color made up, and the yellow-skinned characters on his body are all domestic movies.
To say that this is not wrong to adapt to the outside market when he steps out of the country, Gan Jing has done a good job so far, but the general situation of this skin color in Hollywood is also regrettable.
Gan Jingyou wants to change this situation, but he still says that he can change the world by changing himself first, not the other way around.
Only when you have unparalleled influence can you follow the trend.
"@ιΏη, I heard that a vice president of Warner was fired by you?"
In the hatsapp chat group of "Shine Hollywood", a photo avatar of Charlize Theron is flashing - well, unlike ordinary people who use celebrity avatars, this is me talking...
I joined this chat group at Hathaway before, and before she had time to say anything that day, the screenwriter she was waiting for came, and the two had made an appointment to communicate the script before.
Seeing this, Gan Jing simply stopped exercising, rested for a day, and also discussed the plot and characters with the screenwriter.
In the evening, Gan Jing showed up in the chat group and said hello.
Now seeing Theron's question, Gan Jing knew that the actress he had never met must have read the gossip tabloids, and before he could answer, he saw another actress's avatar jump out of a sentence.
Scarlett: "Should I call you brother or sister?"
There is no doubt that this person has read the gossip report that revealed his sexual orientation.
Gan Jing couldn't help but shake his head and silently typed on his mobile phone: "I didn't expel him, he was a matter of personal professionalism." He thought about it and made up for it on his mobile phone, "In the future, when you meet this producer, please pay attention to safety." β
In the face of a group of actresses talking like this, everyone in the group is not an ignorant person, so they naturally know Forrest Gump's potential meaning, and a few more show up to express their understanding.
Only Scarlett was still asking, "Forrest Gump brother, Forrest Gump sister?"
"Scarlett Beauty, please call me the actor. β
Hathaway, Portman, Christine: "Onlookers." β
Scarlett was unmoved: "It seems to be Forrest Gump's sister." β
ββ¦β¦β
Gan Jing silently put away his mobile phone, not planning to spend time with this group of actresses who should be very busy, but always have time to chat, but he was a little unwilling, thought about it, took out his mobile phone and scratched out the chat software, and changed the name on the memo.
Originally, the name of this group chat was "Shiny Hollywood", which is basically in line with the facts, but it is a little too earthy.
Now Gan Jing's personal remarks have been carefully considered, and this local style has been improved to a great extent, and it seems to be very elegant and intellectual, and there is a light but not negligible aristocratic style.
- My harem.
Gan Jing stared at the notes that could only be seen on his mobile phone, nodded with satisfaction, and put the phone in his pocket happily.
The crew of "Batman 3" is not in a hurry, leaving nearly a month for himself to polish the outline, and during this period, the crew will first run in with the special effects and contact in advance to do what needs to be prepared.
A few days later, Ms. Liang Wei, the newly appointed SVP (Senior Vice President) of Huaxia Special Effects, led the team to Los Angeles.
On the first day she arrived here, Liang Wei didn't give a good face, she actually felt a little aggrieved, but she had already quarreled with Xiao Yang several times for the sake of her position, and finally reluctantly accepted her fate.
Now that she has come to the United States and seen the main owner of this matter, Liang Wei also sees that he has made a great contribution to this industry, so she can hold back her resentment and not jump over and bite off his ear......
However, despite discovering Liang Wei's emotions, Gan Jing still acted like a nobody, and even found Liang Wei at lunch the next day and asked about a private matter.
- How do you reject a girl you don't like?
In the United States, Gan Jing has an investment career, and Uber's investment is managed by a brilliant professional manager, and the reason why this professional manager was able to find him at that time was because of a beautiful American girl Lisa who had a lot of friendship with him.
Lisa is a good girl, she once boldly said that she liked herself, but this matter was handled coldly by herself.
After listening to Uber's chasing and dilution of shares in the video last night, the manager, as Lisa's brother, naturally adjusted the camera to ensure that the outline of his face was completely on Forrest Gump's screen, and then asked very seriously that Forrest Gump needed to give his sister an explanation, even if it was a complete refusal, it was better than the current infatuation.
Gan Jing was completely stunned when he heard this.
Conscience of heaven and earth!
He never meant to hang the former flight attendant!
He never expressed the slightest affection for Lisa!
This...... Could it be that being charismatic is also one of the original sins of man?
Gan Jing wasn't sure if he was already guilty for a while, but he decided to solve this problem first, it just so happened that Liang Wei came, he thought about this kind of thing, and he still had to ask someone with experience.
"A beautiful girl likes you, you don't like her, well, according to the urine nature of your entertainment industry, won't you talk about it later?" Liang Wei said angrily.
Gan Jing pondered and said, "It's also a division of people." Mainly if Lisa asks for something, it's okay, such as wanting to be on the cover of a magazine or something, if you want to, then forget it. β
He saw Liang Wei's faint sarcastic expression and shrugged his shoulders: "The problem is that she seems to simply like me, which is a bit complicated." β
"Hmm...... Can you see what I mean?"
Liang Wei's chin nodded down mechanically, and she sighed: "You mean that you are moving and emotional, right?" β
"Ahem, I'm also very cautious about sex, and I'm not keen on it. "Gan Jing cried for himself.
"Okay, okay, I'll help you think about it, but I have one condition. Liang Wei glanced at Forrest Gump and said slowly.
"Speak. β
"You have to apologize to me, I think there is something wrong with the fact that I was reassigned for no reason. As soon as Liang Wei mentioned this, her tone became a little intense.
Gan Jing's face was serious, he didn't speak, and looked at Liang Wei with his eyes.
Looking at his expression, Liang Wei felt a little nervous in her heart, she had a sense of injustice in her heart, and she couldn't help but take advantage of what Forrest Gump said at the moment.
Bad men have good face, especially a big star like Forrest Gump, I'm afraid he won't lose face at all.
When I arrived at the airport here yesterday, Liang Wei also saw that it was written in the newspaper that one of Warner's senior vice presidents had been laid off because of a verbal conflict - speaking of which, his position was similar to his current position.
Gan Jing's expression became more and more serious, and Liang Wei's heart became more and more empty.
"Liang Wei, you have to know ......" Gan Jing glanced at this theoretical colleague lightly, and there was a style in his eyes.
Liang Wei moved her fingers slightly, but stubbornly didn't speak, so Gan Jing's speed of speech suddenly increased: "You know, I rarely apologize to people, so I'm sorry, Sister Wei." β
The contrast between the front and back is too great, Liang Wei was stunned, what about her face?
Well, Gan Jing smiled shamelessly, and in an instant, he had come out of the performance state, he had a moment of self-complaining, and when he got along with the actors, he often didn't know whether he/she was real or fake - the most changed in front of him was Zhou Gongzi.
"Don't be angry in the future, maybe your SVP will be more promising than your CFO. Gan Jing was relieved, "With the development of the industry, the cake is getting bigger and bigger, and I think it will be much better if there are more contacts." β
Liang Wei couldn't help the confusion in her heart: "You are different from the people in the entertainment industry I have seen, you are ...... It's a bit too easy to apologize, and I don't think it's ...... Well, there is no gold content, no sense of accomplishment. Yes, you've succeeded in lowering my sense of accomplishment. β
"It's okay to apologize, this is indeed a bit arbitrary for you personally, but it is about the benign and healthy environment of the company, and I will do the same again. β
Liang Wei glared.
Be respectful and at ease.
"Alas. In the end, Liang Wei sighed, "You seem to be a person who does big things." β
Gan Jing said happily: "Really?"
Liang Wei replied seriously: "Really, people who do big things are shameless." β
β¦β¦
Gan Jing didn't know if Liang Wei had dissipated the resentment in her heart in the end, but on the surface, her behavior was much more normal, and she promised to help herself consider Lisa's affairs.
The days are spent in the sweat of fitness day by day, Gan Jing is getting stronger and stronger, and he is also paying attention to the domestic situation in the distance, Zhou Dongyu plays an important role in a Jackie Chan movie, Chen Xiaojun was stuffed into a TV series by Lao Chen's resources, and the contracted young director Zhou Shen has begun to look for an actor suitable for the script.
"Sun Tzu Comes from America" is a low-budget movie, and in terms of subject matter, it is not destined to be a high-grossing film.
The original intention of filming this script was for the studio to experiment with the way and channel of film distribution, whether it was Gan Jing or Lao Chen, they would not care about the box office, and now there is more of a role in cultivating directors, which is good to think about.
At the end of March, Gan Jing's fitness plan was fruitful, and the whole person was indeed more manly than before, and the crew of "Batman 3" was officially established, just waiting for the start-up ceremony.
On March 30th, only two days before April, on this day, there was a sudden revelation in China.
ββ"It is reported that Han Sanping, chairman of China Film Group, has gone through the retirement procedures, and it will be La Peikang who will succeed him as the leader of China Film. He has lived in Paris for many years and has long been committed to the dissemination of Chinese films and the exchange of Chinese and foreign films. β
At ten o'clock in the evening, Gan Jing received the exact news from Lao Chen, the chairman of China Film had indeed changed, and it was also La Peikang in the news.
After Gan Jing hung up the phone, his mood was a little complicated.
Although I had expected the result of the big uphea, when this expectation really appeared, it seemed a little unbelievable.
Although the rivers and lakes are big, there is no third master.
A little later, on March 31, U.S. time, Gan Jing received a text message from China on his mobile phone.
- "Forrest Gump, Chinese movies are ushering in the best time, may you live up to such an opportunity."
The text message was not signed, and the number was an unfamiliar number, but Gan Jing somehow had an intuition that this text message was sent by Han Sanping.
He froze at the text message, shook his head, smiled, turned off his phone, and didn't reply.
The rivers and lakes urge people to grow old, and it is in vain to say more.
