There is an ancient folk proverb that when it rains, the mother must get married.

As a Huaxia expert, Andy knows this sentence, and even knows the origin of this folk proverb.

It's just that the rainstorm in Los Angeles is a bit funny.

After leaving Paramount, Andy looked at the blue umbrella at his feet a little confused, the thought in his heart was not as calm as the expression on his face, he was seriously thinking about a question at the moment, what should he say, it didn't seem appropriate not to say something......

Andy looked at Forrest Gump, who was looking down on his phone, until he also looked back, and then, silently, drew a cross on his chest, and said reverently.

"God bless America, God willing. ”

He paused, and added: "Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless." ”

This is the benefit of learning from both China and the West, you can eat on both sides!

Gan Jing coughed lightly, pointed to the crackling and rainstorming sky on the roof of the car, and said seriously: "Actually, the judgment of celestial phenomena is a more professional and interesting thing. ”

"Really?"

Gan Jing looked at Andy's innocent look and nodded vigorously: "Really." ”

"Let's talk about Padana, then. It seems that Jensen's status is even higher, and there has been no news that he will be the editor. Andy wisely decided to skip the topic of weather.

Gan Jing turned from a god stick to an actor, nodded and said: "This kind of person is a person who is professionally born and occupies a high position." If Jensen cuts it for the first time, if there are no major problems in the future, it will be tinkering with his version. ”

Andy thought about it for a while, he still has a relationship that can be used, but it is more emotional, but it is very debatable whether the consumption in this case is cost-effective.

If Forrest Gump can win the cup again with "Padana", it will be worth the effort.

But if it's just the Oscar Best Documentary, everyone will sigh at most that Forrest Gump picked a good scene, and the gain in other aspects is not too big.

He talked to Forrest Gump about this consideration, and there was no doubt that it was recognized.

"There's no rush in this matter, just try to do it. Even if we can't cut it, Jensen may not really be a straw bale. Gan Jing smiled, "Actually, I'm thinking that if we change the publicity strategy, Paramount may benefit better." ”

"After all, the subject matter of "Focus" is more sensitive, if we promote it according to the strategy of humility, the public's perception should be good, and this will also attract everyone's attention to "Focus", which can be regarded as a win-win situation. Gan Jing told his thoughts.

"Again, Paramount won't change his attitude so easily. Well, the giants are arrogant. Andy's brow furrowed, and he said so thoughtfully, he himself had worked at Warner for many years, and he knew the same kind of attitude very well.

Gan Jing nodded, not very nervous.

Paramount's momentum in the past two years has not been very good, even if it is arrogant, there must be limits.

After returning that day, Gan Jing dealt with the affairs of the American company, and then opened a video chat with Rossi about the movie, speaking of which, almost every film he participated in could establish a close relationship with the director.

Normally, this kind of person who chats with a video on the computer screen in the middle of the night is probably a family couple.

Just one night later, perhaps out of respect for the actor, perhaps out of respect for the mysterious power, or perhaps out of respect for the handsome man's sixth sense, Paramount's Jensen responded.

He said that he has responded truthfully to the question, and that Paramount will evaluate the competition between Padana and Spotlight before making a decision.

This feedback was directed at Forrest Gump's first suggestion to change the Oscar goal, and as for the second suggestion, Jensen didn't mention it at all on the phone.

Gan Jing said he was emotionally stable.

After another two days, after Mr. Actor had already begun to think about his own 100-day red, Paramount sent an invitation to Forrest Gump to attend an internal meeting.

This "Padana" is funded by three parties, but the combined money from Italy and Whooping Days Red is not as much as Paramondo, and a contract was signed long before the start of production, and all rights were received by the latter.

However, the frequent platform publicity that impacted the Oscars needs to be cooperated, and Paramount is not simply out of respect for the actor, but also has more realistic follow-up considerations.

This time, the meeting was not on the eighth floor a few days ago, but on the eighteenth floor.

In order to avoid the number of eighteen layers of hell, some domestic commercial real estate often skip eighteen, seventeen, nineteen and so on, but in foreign countries there is no such habit, they look at Judas.

This time, the number of participants in the meeting was relatively large, white and white, black and black, yellow and yellow, and the age level was middle-aged, and each seat was quite formally marked with a name plate.

Compared with Jensen, Gan Jing knew a lot of people this time, but he came a little later, and after sitting down, he just nodded to the people he knew.

Sitting in the chair was the vice president of Paramount Pictures, Moore, who was in a position of great power in Paramount, and was also trying to determine the strategy of "Padana" at this meeting, so as not to cause losses due to the wrong direction.

At the beginning of the meeting, Moore gave Forrest Gump the opportunity to speak and present his ideas, followed by lengthy data analysis and research.

Although it was a bit boring, Gan Jing listened to it not completely boring, he took it as an opportunity to see the normal work of the giant.

Film and television companies in Hollywood have long formed a professional and rigorous film and television work process, and Paramount is even more so for a company that stands at the top.

Well, there are still some gaps.

In the end, as expected, Paramount, who had previously been said to be contemptuous, but became serious, quickly sensed the competitive impact and subject matter advantage that "Spotlight" would have, and decided not to make a difficult decision to turn "Padana" into the Oscar for Best Documentary.

Then, unexpectedly, Gan Jing said that he would hand over the first cut of this film to Jensen, who was sitting firmly.

"In this movie, Mr. Jensen neither directed nor acted in, and he did not even appear on the set. With all due respect, I am puzzled by this decision. Gan Jing still spoke when he heard this, since he came, it was not in vain.

Moore looked at Forrest Gump very calmly: "I believe that Jensen is enough to complete this task, Forrest Gump, you may not know much about him, but please trust our caution and attention." ”

At this point, it seems that it is difficult to say anything.

However, as a very responsible or even overly responsible male lead, Gan Jing suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and a bold idea.

"I felt like I was better suited to edit this work. ”

Gan Jing said this with a smile, and then saw Jensen's expression slowly losing color from shock.

Yes, I'll do it.
