Chapter 357: Take a step
That night, after a full meal and wine, Gan Jing knocked on the door of the director's room.
Ding-dong, ding-dong.
The door opened, and Ang Lee was holding the script in his hand.
"Forrest Gump, what's the matter?"
Gan Jing entered the door, laughed twice, walked into the room and saw a few pages of drawings on the table, and his eyes lit up: "Director, are you drawing a storyboard?"
Ang Lee nodded, he was used to painting these things himself on key shots.
Gan Jing rubbed his hands and smiled: "I will do this too." ”
Li An was a little surprised, he knew that Forrest Gump was not from a professional class, and he also knew that he had not been in the industry for too long, and he would actually be able to do something more professional like storyboarding?
"Then you try. Ang Lee was noncommittal and planned to take a look.
Pulling over the chair and sitting at the table, Gan Jing took the pencil that Ang Lee had just used, and stared at the half-drawn storyboard for a while.
This storyboard only depicts half of the main character's body, and there is only half a tiger next to it, so the scene is not perfect.
However, Gan Jing was already familiar with the script, and after a little hesitation, he smiled and said, "This is the scene after Pie and Tiger went through a storm." ”
Li An asked with interest, "How do you see it?"
"It's all intuition. Gan Jing smiled, lowered his head and carefully sketched it on the paper with a pencil.
Li An glanced at him, didn't make a sound, poured two cups of tea and put them on the table.
For a moment, the room was filled with only the rustle of pencils moving on paper.
After about half an hour, Gan Jing finished the other half of the storyboard, he put down the pen, picked up the blank paper and looked at the light, quite satisfied.
"Director Li, how do you look at the painting?" he handed the blank paper to Ang Lee.
Li An took it, first changed the hot water in Gan Jing's teacup, and then looked at the storyboard drawn by the two together: "Well, it's okay." It's not bad that an actor can draw at such a level. ”
Belch...... It's really tactful.
Gan Jing shrugged: "This is what Director Tsui Hark taught me, and I have only learned it for a short time." ”
"Huh, that's really good, the only thing you and Director Xu have ever worked on is "Dragon Gate Flying Armor". "Ang Lee knew about Gan Jing's work, and he didn't think that Gan Jing would have known Tsui Hark in his previous capacity.
In this way, Gan Jing has been learning storyboard drawing for such a short time, and now he is quite good at such a level.
"Hey, thanks for the compliment. Gan Jing showed off his extra ability in front of the master, his expression calmed down a little, and said: "Director, during the day, you said that you don't need me to substitute the emotions of the second story into the first story, I don't understand it a little. ”
This is the main thing to come to see Ang Lee tonight.
The second story in Pi is a story of drifting and eating people in the sea, and the first story is a story of Pi and the tiger drifting together, the two are completely different and need to show different emotions.
"Tell us what you think. "Not on the set, Ang Lee is very kind.
"Of course, the first story needs to be a simpler performance, but if I perform more complicated and have a sense of disobedience, when the audience sees the back, they will naturally correspond to each other. Gan Jing said seriously, "At that time, they will suddenly come to their senses." ”
Li An nodded, shook his head again, and said, "But that will be a drama." ”
"It's not going to be a drama, my acting skills are fine. ”
Ang Lee sighed lightly and said seriously: "Forrest Gump, it's not that I don't want your acting skills to play, but as a director, I already have a comprehensive idea of how to shoot." You should trust me, I need you to trust me. ”
In this way, the scenes that are confirmed before and after will give the audience some aftertaste. Gan Jing argued, "Films with a long aftertaste are the best." ”
"But you don't have to rely on acting to sacrifice the smoothness of the film, in fact, as long as you use the narrative later, the audience will suddenly understand. Li An said calmly.
Gan Jing looked directly at the director, did not speak, and weighed the pros and cons in his heart.
"Forrest Gump, as you said just now, you should trust me. I'm sure of this film. Li An paused, and reminded by the way, "I also have confidence in Huaxia Film and Television Special Effects Company." ”
As a member of Huaxia Film and Television Special Effects Company, this sentence is more appropriate for Gan Jing, and now Ang Lee is telling Forrest Gump that this drama is not only his business, but also has many implications.
You are the leading actor, you have a high status, and you can even break the contract because you are dissatisfied with your directing style, so what about the special effects of China?
At this moment, the special effects, director, and leading actors are tied to the same chariot, and they are all prosperous, but they just see which side has more glory.
If he were to be another actor who has been famous for a long time, Ang Lee would not be worried, but Gan Jing is young after all, and he is afraid that this guy will really quit acting on an impulse, so it will be difficult to deal with.
Sure enough, Gan Jing frowned quickly and understood the meaning of the director's words.
"Forrest Gump, I'm probably more familiar with Oscar. Ang Lee said thoughtfully, unwilling to make himself appear too strong, "If this film is made with the effect I want, the Oscar for the visual award should be fine, and the best picture and best director depend on fate." ”
"It's not that I'm pessimistic, the competition for the Best Actor award has always been big, and if our film wins other awards, it will be difficult for the actor to win it for balance. Ang Lee stated lightly, "According to the script, you yourself know how big the performance space is." ”
These are all big truths, Ang Lee has completely stated his attitude, and he will not make large-scale changes in order to show Forrest Gump's acting skills, nor will he change his directorial thinking.
To go further or to give a step, that's the question.
Gan Jing's face was a little cloudy, but after a while, he still exhaled and confirmed: "Do you think this film can win the Best Visual Effects Award?"
"Huaxia special effects invited Hollywood people, right? The tiger effect alone is really powerful. I can't guarantee 100% of the level at this level, but it's very competitive. "Ang Lee is serious and serious, these words are sincere.
Gan Jing stood up and nodded: "Okay, I'll do what you want." However, I remember that when I was filming the second story at the end, I needed a week to find my form, which you promised me. ”
Li An couldn't help but be curious: "What do you want to do? ”
Gan Jing didn't answer immediately, he walked to the door of the room, and the moment he went out and closed the door, he said, "I want to leave my smile to the world." ”
There was no beginning or end to this sentence, and Ang Lee didn't understand it, but tonight's communication obviously ended with Forrest Gump's regression, which is already great.
It seems that he is really concerned about domestic special effects, well, it's good news.
