Chapter 745: True Colors
The management respects the opinions of the actors, and the actors respect the ideas of the directors.
The Padana crew is set up and running as if it had always been in harmony and order.
The beginning and development of this play seems to the director to have some unusual elements, Rossi, like Forrest Gump, also arrived in Milan early, and when he supervised the crew here, he only met a few familiar people.
Maybe it's not familiar, it's just familiar.
Hollywood is very big, there are many actors, and there are countless film and television workers at all levels, and it is really difficult to say how many big names can be contacted by a director at the level of Rossi, but whether he has met or not, he has always seen these people on the big screen, and he can tell other people's works in person.
For example, Christopher Walken, who also arrived in Milan, is a good actor, a good actor who has worked hard to play a supporting role.
For example, Emma Stone, who is about to arrive in Milan, is a future star, and her last film was "Birdman", which helped IΓ±Γ‘rritu win the Oscar for Best Director.
However, in addition to these two, except for a limited number of people, Rosie found that the increasing number of supporting roles and group performances were people he was not familiar with, and even did not look like actors.
There is also a mysterious atmosphere in the crew.
Quirky, really quirky.
This feeling of something was wrong continued until Forrest Gump appeared on the set.
When the actor, who has the ability to influence Paramount's management, appeared, the smile on Rossi's originally prepared face gradually froze as the strange group of actors took off their hats and saluted.
This solidification became even stronger when the gaze shifted from Forrest Gump to the Italian man with an inexplicable temperament next to him, as if a wet mud had been smeared on his face and then dried with a hot air dryer.
Rossi felt a sense of trembling in his heart that is peculiar to Sicilians.
He finally understood what the strange familiarity revealed in the strangeness of the crew was?
- The black in front of you is not black, what kind of white are you talking about?
In order to make this filming go smoothly, Rossi's Italian background is also one of the factors in the selection of directors, he is well aware of the domestic situation, and has also expressed disdain for the curiosity and speculation of some American friends, if there is no man in black in Italy, it is as strange as a sow can climb a tree.
If anyone naively thinks that there will be no such people in this era, then look at the tombstone of Mr. Julio, a senator for life who had just gone down to see Marx the year before last.
It's just that...... Why is Forrest Gump's attitude so familiar?
Rossi saw Forrest Gump nodding at him, and he smiled back stiffly.
Gan Jing didn't know what the director's strange expression meant, and compared to the shock in the hearts of the locals, he was completely in the same state of mind as a producer patiently explaining to the funders about Cass, who he hadn't seen for a long time.
This film is funded by a total of three parties, Paramount is the majority, followed by 100 days of red, and an old film and television company in Italy, Ounuo, accounts for a small part, in fact, all the formal procedures for local group performances are issued from Ounuo company, ensuring that everything is legal.
Castellano is a very good friend, and he has always been grateful for Forrest Gump's life-saving grace.
Gan Jing, he is also very relieved about Cass, it was he who personally sent Cass to the Huaxia Embassy - well, the description of sending it in by hand is quite subtle, he vaguely knows that the two sides are silently hooking up, after all, it seems that the situation at that time is not too easy to turn around without the help of external forces.
"This movie is going to hit the Oscars, so you people are going to be on the big screen, and it won't have any impact on their work, right?" Gan Jing accented on the word "work".
Cass didn't look like a blackhead, he just smiled, "Their work is normal, Forrest Gump, you may have some misunderstanding about us." β
Gan Jing shrugged his shoulders, even if there was a misunderstanding, there was no need for him to delve into this.
"By the way, I have a person I hate in Hong Kong, can you teach me a lesson?" Gan Jing suddenly remembered this.
Cass laughed: "Forrest Gump, do you really think of us as people? Are you the kind of thugs who go out into the streets with machetes to find people? Well, do you want to sink people into the Po River or into the Pacific Ocean?"
Gan Jing was shocked.
"Don't be too nervous, I'm just kidding. Cass pointed to himself slowly, "Standing in front of you is Mr. Councillor, a law-abiding Mr. Councillor. β
Gan Jing muttered: "I'm very timid. β
The next second, he added: "Sink to the Pacific Ocean, I still have to film here, the Po River is too close." β
Gan Jing winked at Cass, who was obviously stunned: "I'm just kidding." Lesson, a little lesson that hurts a little bit. β
Cass shook his head, then laughed.
This burst of laughter attracted the attention of the others, and Gan Jing only shrugged his shoulders at the curious glances around him.
After the big guy left, Gan Jing began to continue his inspection trip, and it was also the first time that he greeted Walken, an important supporting character in the movie.
This is a Hollywood senior, this is a good actor, this ...... That's it.
Gan Jing is glad that Paramount has invited a powerful person.
"Forrest Gump, it's a pleasure to meet you. "Walken didn't put on a show, although he was not a local, but when he saw the posture just now, he had a feeling of uncertainty.
"I hope this movie can hit the Oscars smoothly. Gan Jing smiled and said the goal of the work, and said, "There are still a few days before the start of filming, and the crew will reimburse the cost of playing here." We hope that we can cooperate happily this time. β
"Yes. I had a hunch that it would be a good movie. Walken smiled with the sociability of his age.
Gan Jing nodded, chatted for a while, and then continued to wander around the filming location built by the crew.
Although this work is to impact the Oscars, the production cost is really not high, the budget before and after is only 20 million euros, plus the follow-up publicity and lobbying preparations for the Oscars, the total cost will not exceed 40 million.
However, there are some things that cannot be calculated in terms of money, such as letting a group of people play in their true colors.
That's a bit harder.
Gan Jing's trip today is on the one hand to see the crew members, and on the other hand, he is also using Cass himself to deter this group of people who play in their true colors, so that they don't paddle and pay attention to the movies that the big guys value.
To be honest, for a group of people who look a little cold, he has a trace of trepidation in his heart, of course, his face must be calm and light, so as to live up to the demeanor of a famous actor.
