Columbia Pictures, one of the six major Hollywood film and television companies, is a well-deserved giant.

In the office, producer Larry is answering an important phone call.

"Okay, I understand. But this needs to be re-evaluated. ”

"He's not necessarily the best, but...... It's not necessarily inappropriate. ”

Larry hung up the phone after saying the last sentence, and complained to Roland, the director of the crew who had also just hung up the phone, with some irritation: "What the hell is going on? Why does even Jimmy make such a call?" Jimmy is the executive vice president of Columbia, and he is in a high-ranking position, so he easily does not speak.

Roland also smiled wryly and spread his hands helplessly.

Film and television production in Hollywood is a very serious matter, especially for blockbusters, and it is a game of various factors.

Originally, the casting of "2012" was close to the dust, but Warner's Andy suddenly used his own personal relationship to spend a lot of money to insert Gan Jing.

But even so, Roland and Larry don't plan to use a Chinese as the leading actor, let alone a Chinese who has never proven themselves.

Both of them saw the experience on Gan Jing's resume, and it was obvious that starring in "Mei Lanfang" was not a lot of weight for them, and investing in "The Hangover" was just the young man's luck.

John is still waiting for my reply. Roland sighed and said faintly, "What the hell! This Oriental still has such energy? No, I firmly disagree with letting him play." It's not a joke. ”

With a budget of around $200 million, "2012" is a true blockbuster, and of course, a lot of the budget will be spent on special effects, but even then no one will joke about the characters in such a film.

What's more, this is a film dominated by the giant Colombia.

Larry nodded slowly, slightly closing his eyes and recalling the image of Gan Jing he had seen in his mind, this young man was a little too young, and if he was given old makeup, it would probably be against him.

He's a producer, a job that makes money by opening his mouth and making phone calls, but he also has to withstand the pressure when he needs it — and now, the time when he needs to do it has come.

As he was making up his mind, Larry's phone suddenly rang again, and he took a look at it, and his serious face finally showed a smile that he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Hey, Dad, why did you call me all of a sudden? I took Harry to see you and Mommy on Saturday. Larry said lightly that talking about family life after work can make him feel better.

"What? You're asking Forrest Gump's character?" Larry's expression changed from relaxed to surprised so quickly that it seemed a little distorted to Roland, a bystander.

"You don't know Forrest Gump, how can you ......" Larry was shocked and then puzzled, and then what he heard turned into a wry smile.

When the phone hung up, his expression became very depressed.

"What's going on?" asked director Roland knowingly.

Larry gritted his teeth and said: "My father actually became Forrest Gump's lobbyist, he said that one of his close friends was saved by Forrest Gump! He said that good people should be rewarded! He said...... Oh my God, this Forrest Gump!"

"He's starting to make me hate him a little bit!" Larry hates when people interfere with his work, which can make the project feel like it's off track.

However, after a few seconds, when he calmed down, he saw that director Roland was frowning and looking at his phone, Larry wondered if the content of the phone was also another lobbyist, and while twisting his brows, he said to Roland: "I also admire him a little." ”

Roland nodded approvingly, keenly aware of the producer's loose attitude, and asked softly, "So?"

Larry stood up and walked to the window to open the blinds to let the afterglow of dusk shine in.

"Maybe you can give it a try. ”

The light in the office brightened a little, but Roland's brow furrowed deeply.

Changing the almost confirmed actor at such a moment is not too pleasant for the crew.

"We need to identify roles as soon as possible. Roland reminded, "Leave plenty of time for post-production special effects. ”

Larry turned around, rubbed his forehead a little rudely, and said expressionlessly, "I hate him even more now." ”

Both people in the office know who this "he" is.

……

"Forrest Gump, you're in trouble. ”

Andy said trouble, but a triumphant smile appeared on his face.

Gan Jing sat down across from him honestly: "What do you say?"

"You're going through an audition. Andy played with the pen in his hand and added, "Harsher." ”

Gan Jing was delighted, looked at the smile on his face, and said with the same smile: "Then it seems that it will be a sweet trouble?"

Andy laughed loudly, the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose fluttering with his gaffe, but Gan Jing just smiled and wondered how the cold-faced agent reacted.

"To be honest, I didn't think you still had a chance. Andy laughed enough, and couldn't help but shake his head, "I'm just trying again out of our agreement, and for this, I owe a very precious favor." ”

"Hey, the outcome hasn't been decided yet, is it?" Gan Jing was happy and worried about the final result.

Andy behind the desk stared at Gan Jing with his blue eyes, regained his previous calm appearance, and said lightly: "Superstars need some luck, and at the moment, it seems that your luck is not bad, isn't it?"

Gan Jing nodded amusedly.

"At the very least, you've got the luck of a superstar and a high starting point. Andy said in a distant tone, "This kind of starting point is not available in thousands of handsome men and women, who are desperate to get such an opportunity, but can only slowly audition from the role and from the supporting role." ”

"You're in luck. Andy repeats the review.

After taking a sip of tea, Gan Jing said in a moistened voice, "We should focus on the next step, and you should let my luck continue." ”

"Of course. Andy got up gracefully, took a folder from his desk and handed it over.

"What is this?" Gan Jing took it casually, flipped through it and found a lot of jerky words.

"This is a more detailed course material, and your body, pronunciation, and movement habits need to be recreated according to the script. But that's just the details, and now the main thing is to magnify the box office gimmick on you as much as possible, and then let the people in Colombia receive it. ”

"Sounds like your job. ”

Andy smiled and sat back down, "It's my pleasure. ”

"Okay. Gan Jing glanced at the dizzying English words on the document and said, "Then let's work together." ”

"Set sail, Forrest Gump. ”

Andy smiled, and Gan Jing was made to laugh and cry by the Chinese he suddenly appeared.

Well, set sail!
