Chapter 611: Mutual Praise
Gan Jing has confirmed that Luc will be invited as the director of the commercial film, but before that, the script must be brought out, not to say finalized, but at least there must be an English version.
Andy first got Luc's contact information and communicated with him, knowing that the other party was filming "Don't Mess with Me", and there was a film in his hand to talk about, and he was not sure about next year's schedule.
Now, time is a little rushed.
Gan Jing thought about it, and felt that he still had to show some sincerity in trying to be a fresh Chinese protagonist who was not sure of funds, otherwise it would be difficult to be talked about by others first.
He vaguely remembered that he had a relationship with Luc in Cannes, but he really didn't have any friendship.
On the one hand, Gan Jing asked Liao Yimei to speed up the process of translating the script - this is not limited to her alone, and on the other hand, Gan Jing posted a post on Weibo.
Today, Weibo has become a very important propaganda position, and almost the vast majority of star actors have opened accounts, and among these people, Gan Jing is one of the earliest ones to open it, and he has benefited the most.
As a broker who is not very well-connected, Lao Chen's biggest advantage is that he has no limited thinking, and he has set up a team to be responsible for operating Forrest Gump's Weibo and official website.
This kind of operation is more and more complementary with the reputation of Forrest Gump's good works, forming a virtuous circle.
- "I went to France to find a director to cooperate with a new play, if I don't get on the hot search when I come back, then I will be the director myself!
This Weibo, which was posted at 9 o'clock in the morning, was also accompanied by a picture, the content of the picture is a photo of Forrest Gump's upper body on a white background, and the narration note is the arrogant five words "Director Gan 700 million".
The self-deprecation effect is great, and the entertainment effect is great.
Released at nine o'clock, this Weibo was on the hot search at nine o'clock, and then Gan Jing recommented on his Weibo - "Director Luc, let's understand".
Luc Besson, many people may not be able to react to the simple mention of the name, but when it comes to the most famous work, he really has a lot of Chinese fans.
"This Killer Is Not Too Cold", a work of '94, it was Luc's first film directed in Hollywood, and it was also the debut film that later became Hollywood A-list actress Natalie Portman.
Although this film follows the production standards of Hollywood commercial films, there are many traces of French literary films from the director, actors, and soundtrack, which has really influenced many later works and European directors who have been mixed in Hollywood.
At the same time, it is also very popular and praised in China, and it is often seen when major media list must-see movies, and it is also placed in third place when Douban selects movies.
WHEN GAN JING'S SECOND WEIBO REVEALED THAT HE WOULD BE LOOKING FOR DIRECTOR LUC TO COOPERATE, MANY PASSERS-BY COULDN'T HELP BUT LOOK FORWARD TO IT, AND THEIR FANS NATURALLY CALLED FRANTICALLY.
The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.
The script is not good, the funds have not arrived, the actors are uncertain, and they tend to go first, which is why Forrest Gump said such a thing, and if it was someone else, the majority of passers-by might have to regard this as a hype.
Gan Jing was very satisfied with the hot search that was easily boarded, and he was also very satisfied with the comments from all walks of life on Weibo, he asked the studio staff to carefully select these comments and translate them into French, ready to bring Luc to see what the Chinese audience expects from him, which is an invisible force.
He is a big director, although he has never won an Oscar, but his status is really high, and he is known as the "French Spielberg" in Europe.
Another interesting fact about him has to be mentioned, Luc once declared that he "only made ten movies in his life...... However, it turns out that men's vows are so unreliable.
Similar to him, there is also a Michael Bay recommended by Andy, this one is to announce that he will no longer direct "Transformers 3", and then break his promise to shoot 3, declare that he will no longer direct "Transformers 4", and then break his promise to shoot 4, and declare that he will no longer direct "Transformers 5......
It can only be said that it is a little strange that there are many talented people, and the simple mouth cannon is still within the scope of public understanding.
Gan Jing took a screenshot of the fan's love for the director in order to guide him, and on the other hand, he also listed the sources of funds he would fight for - although he hasn't gotten the money yet, the channel for getting the money must also be reflected.
On September 13, Gan Jing took Andy's family on a flight to France.
The long-haul flight is not boring, and along the way, Gan Jing is trying to teach his goddaughter to call her godfather - which is undoubtedly impossible for a little girl under the age of one, but he still enjoys it.
"I think I can make her a superstar in the future, what do you think?" Gan Jing teased the little girl who was already asleep and said to Andy.
Andy smiled at the daughter in his wife's arms, shook his head and said, "Whatever she wants, I just like her to grow up healthy." ”
"At that time, he told me to break the monopoly of CAA, and at that time he said that he wanted me to be the first line of Hollywood, eh, how ambitious I was at that time, and now this is a middle-aged person, and my wife and children are hot on the kang. Gan Jing shook his head and sighed.
The three of them sat in the car on their way to Luc's restaurant, and arrived at their destination after about an hour.
As soon as they met, Luc gave him a warm hug.
"Hi Forrest Gump, long time no see. ”
"Hello, Luc. Gan Jing greeted and introduced, "This is Andy and his wife, and this is my goddaughter Alice." ”
Luc looked at the little girl who was still asleep and smiled, "What a beautiful little girl. The director's English has some French accents, and it sounds a little strange to the tone.
"You made Natalie popular at the beginning, so I want to see you this time, and I brought my Alice with me. Gan Jing looked serious, "Even if we don't cooperate this time, I want to fight for Alice a chance to work with a big director." ”
How to shoot sycophants, how to say flattery, this is skillful.
Gan Jing didn't come up and say "you are a big director" and "you are so good", but used a little girl as a topic to scratch Luc's itch - "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" is indeed Luc's proud work, especially it has always been an anecdote for a Hollywood A-list actress to come out of her hands.
Luc's smile was a little sincere: "With you, the president of the Jury of Cannes, as your godfather, Alice's future is already very bright." ”
"Where, where. Gan Jing laughed and strategically denied it.
"Polite, polite. Luc invited sideways, a universal courtesy.
This is the beginning of a wave of commercial mutual praise between French directors and Chinese actors, and the atmosphere is not bad.
