It took a night to play mahjong, and it only took a few minutes to talk about business.

Gan Jing left contact information with several people after a short period of confusion, and felt that Wu Junru was atmospheric, Liu Dehua was enthusiastic, and Chen Kexin was funny, of course, these are all first impressions, and they can't really explain what a person is like.

But in the next few days, he felt that Liu Dehua was serious in addition to enthusiasm.

If there is no night scene in the "Cold War" crew, the end of work during the day is about five or six o'clock, and the actors get off work, go back, eat, rest, and wait until the series is completed, usually at seven or eight o'clock.

Liu Dehua's time is this point, and his phone call to Gan Jing is not about mahjong, not about the script, but about the support for the new director.

Gan Jing was a little puzzled, he didn't understand why Andy would tell him this, he felt that even if he left a good first impression, shouldn't the relationship between people be gradual and gradual.

"Because on the first night after I went back, I called you to talk about supporting the director, and you didn't do it perfunctory, but discussed and put forward opinions very sincerely. So, I think you're a very good offspring. Liu Dehua gave such a reply on the phone.

He is a very polite and respectful person, in fact, in terms of Forrest Gump's current works, awards, and box office, his usual temperament will not use a word full of seniors like "posterity", but after chatting in the past few days, I feel that Forrest Gump's temperament is really good, and he is more casual when he speaks.

Liu Dehua's professional attitude is nothing to say, he has always been highly praised in the circle, and he also has a warm heart for the film and television industry, as early as 05 years, he single-handedly funded a "Asian new star director" plan, and invested in new star directors in Asia, including Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone".

This plan was made for two phases, but it was finally terminated due to financial problems, but Liu Dehua's enthusiasm for the film and television industry is still undiminished.

He paid early attention to Forrest Gump, not only in the other party's works, but also in some details that others did not care about, such as the investment in the film, participation in the Peking Opera Support Fund, and the merger of special effects companies.

Before going to Liang Chaowei's house to play mahjong, Liu Dehua also contacted Wang Qiang to learn more about Forrest Gump's participation in the investment of "Cold War".

It can be said that he knows a lot about Forrest Gump.

Gan Jing naturally doesn't know this, but he just thinks Andy deserves to be a model in the actor circle.

What Andy has been saying these days is actually very simple, the core is still the support for new directors, but he plans to expand the scope of investment, and he is currently looking for like-minded comrades.

To be honest, Gan Jing is not very interested in this plan, but when considering the dilemma of Zhou Shen, a young director signed by the studio, and the recent dilemma of changing the script, he suddenly felt that he could also try to do it, but the scope was different.

The director is important, and the screenwriter should not be underestimated, and the scope of support should be increased to support new screenwriters - in China, the status of screenwriters is really not high, but this position is somewhat difficult to quantify.

An example of Gan Jing's deep feelings for this is the screenwriter Lu Wei, who once collaborated with director Chen Kaige in "Farewell My Concubine", who is also the screenwriter of "Alive", "Red Cliff" and "White Deer Plain", which ensures the excellence, smoothness and minimum lower limit of the film's narrative.

Like director Chen Kaige, who has slowly declined since his peak work, Gan Jing feels that he just lacks cooperation with good screenwriters, and the same is true for director Zhang Yimou's works, "Hero" and other works that he wrote and directed himself can't watch.

After making two movies, I feel that I can direct and write, and some even have to start acting?

Swelling is a disease that needs to be changed.

Domestic directors are accustomed to transforming from assistant directors or cinematographers, and there are quite few screenwriters, and a few famous ones such as Ang Lee, Wong Kar-wai, and Wei Jiahui are habitually biased - Ang Lee studied directing, but his first two works were scripts written by himself.

Gan Jing expressed his importance to screenwriters in his telephone communication with Andy, believing that the effect of cultivating and supporting a gold medal screenwriter may be even comparable to that of two directors, after all, the latter can easily get subsequent investment as long as he exports a successful film, while screenwriters are different.

Liu Dehua said that he thought carefully.

In this regard, Gan Jing still handed over to Lao Chen after a little straightening it out, and he agreed to test the water in principle, and also thought that he could tie this matter to the chariot of Huaxia special effects.

——Good quality and low price, designated special effects cooperation of new directors.

- Forrest Gump's guidance, special effects discounts.

In this era, special effects will play an increasingly important role, and Gan Jing firmly believes in this trend.

By the end of September, most of the scenes of the "Cold War" crew had been completed, and there were not many special effects shots, but a lot of office shots.

Because of the removal of a director, both Wang Qiang and Gan Jing paid more attention to Liang Lemin, who had taken on the burden, and even discussed whether it was necessary to change another director.

The reason why this drama uses two newcomer directors is to praise them for their positions, but it will not sacrifice the films jointly joined by the two actors in order to praise people.

Simply, Liang Lemin withstood the pressure, and the footage he shot was reviewed daily by the producer at the beginning, followed by a two-day trial, a four-day trial, and a weekly trial.

The producer of this film is Wang Qiang, Deng Hanqiang, Ren Yue and other senior producers work together, the standards are not strict, and from time to time, Forrest Gump will come over to take a look.

The rest of the crew was aware of this atmosphere, but they didn't have anything to say, only Liang Chaowei complained to Gan Jing after the scene ended one day: "Forrest Gump, this is the crew I have encountered the strangest atmosphere when acting, thanks to you." ”

Gan Jing only praised himself when he heard this, he would rather have a strange atmosphere than the film he participated in fell to the level.

After September, the filming progress in October slowed down again, basically in the stage of intensive filming, and the atmosphere of the crew has also warmed up, but Gan Jing will start to stand for the upcoming "Life of Pi" at the end of this month.

In this regard, he communicated with Wang Qiang and director Liang Lemin and adjusted the filming of the scenes.

On October 29, Ang Lee will fly to Beijing, and there will be cinema publicity and media interviews.

While preparing for the departure of the group during the Gan Jing assault scene, a transatlantic phone call came from Anne Hathaway.

It wasn't until he saw the number that he really realized he really was...... After returning to China, I didn't think of her at all, as if I hadn't been to her at all.
