848 Good Assistant (2-in-1)
Paramount's PR efforts to hit the Oscars this year are not so big, mainly because the goal has shifted from competing for best picture to best documentary, and the two awards are not at the same level.
But because of this, Paramount feels that this documentary must be obtained, otherwise there will be some small shame - it is already a relegation competition, and it is also a dignified Paramount.
"Boss, it seems that Paramount hasn't offered to help you compete for the best actor, right?" Arwen has always been by the boss's side, and she is Gan Jing's most suitable assistant so far.
"The actor is as difficult as the best picture, if not more difficult. Gan Jing was not surprised that Awen would ask such a question, "Didn't I meet Leonard two days ago, I heard that his public relations activities started very early this year, and the route of this "Padana" in my hand is to collide with the judges from a realistic perspective, although acting skills are needed in the movie, but the whole is to smash people with real stories rather than my personal acting skills, so everyone has a very tacit understanding in their hearts. ”
"What if, if you take it, wouldn't that be the icing on the cake?"
Gan Jingwei smiled: "Then the center of gravity is out of place, and I agreed with Paramount's direction from the beginning of the project." Besides, why did Paramount help me get personal honors. ”
"But...... But ...... "Arwen still wants to say something."
Gan Jing waved his hand: "Don't talk about this, it's rare to rest and go shopping today, tomorrow someone from CCTV will come to record the blessings of overseas Chinese, and I will have to fly back to attend the annual meeting in two days." ”
The time schedule is still relatively tight.
Arwen nodded, there was originally a dinner with the Oscar judges at noon today, but because of his age, the other party had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital, and the plan was naturally ruined.
This is an unexpected situation and an unexpected break.
"I've heard of Disneyland for a long time, but I've never been there, so I'm going to see it today. ”
Gan Jing sat in the car and instructed the driver, and Awen, who heard this on the side, naturally knew that the boss didn't have a sudden idea, he was considering the feasibility of the domestic project.
As the saying goes, if you don't have time today, the boss will take time to take a look after you come.
There are two Disney parks in the United States, one of which is southeast of downtown Los Angeles, which is relatively convenient.
After arriving at the destination soon, Gan Jing got off the bus and found that there were still many tourists, and the languages that floated into his ears were also varied.
Paramount's exclusive driver went to park the car and waited for the two to summon them.
Gan Jing and Ah Wen wore a magic mirror to cover their faces, and they hid in the crowd and prepared to enter the park to browse.
"Hey, what are the people doing over there?" said Arwen suddenly pointing in the direction of the east.
Gan Jing glanced sideways and found that the east side was surrounded by a group.
So, the two of them walked over with curiosity.
"Hey, what about shooting commercials, right?" Arwen looked closer, quite familiar with this posture, and then fixed his eyes, "It's Hathaway, right?"
Gan Jing blinked and nodded, it was indeed Hathaway.
"Cheng, let's go, don't disturb people's work. Gan Jing lowered his voice and turned around to leave, his peers understood the hard work the most.
However, Arwen felt a little strange when he heard this.
The two had just turned around when a shout suddenly came from behind.
"Forrest Gump. ”
A tone of certainty rather than questioning.
Gan Jing's heart jumped, this can be recognized? Wearing sunglasses and a sunhat!
He turned around slowly, catching a glimpse of the assistant's strange eyes, and then Hathaway walking in front of him.
"Hi, long time no see. Hathaway walked over and said hello.
Gan Jing showed a standard smile, took off his sunglasses, heard the low exclamation of the onlookers, and said with a smile: "Annie, what a coincidence, you have an endorsement here?"
"yes. Hathaway said generously, "What about you?"
"I happened to have a day to spare today, so I came here to take a walk, but you stopped me this time, I'm afraid it's not easy to shop. Gan Jing shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.
"Who told you to leave without even saying a word?" Hathaway raised her chin defiantly, "You deserve it." ”
Next to him, Awen shrunk into a transparent shape, lowered his head and secretly pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation between the two, thanks to a certain period of intensive training, her English is now quite level.
"It's not like I'm afraid of disturbing you. Gan Jing smiled fakely, "In case you are out of state, how can it be done?"
"Hmph. Hathaway remembered the time when she was filming "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", squinted her eyes, and ordered, "You go shopping in first and eat together at noon." ”
Gan Jing listened to this tone, tilted his head, looked at the expression on her face, hesitated for a second and agreed: "Obey, Ms. Annie." ”
Hathaway nodded in satisfaction and turned to continue her endorsement shoot.
Gan Jing shook his head slightly, of course he and Hathaway had no problem getting along, and they were very close for a while, but each other's unintentionality and the busyness of work gradually fell into contact, well, at least, they did not deliberately contact each other.
"What do you mean by this gossip on your face?" Gan Jing glanced at the assistant and said angrily.
"Huh, is it so obvious?" Arwen was surprised.
These two words were written clearly on his forehead. Gan Jing is very sure.
Ah Wen immediately said in frustration: "Then it seems that I can't be an actor anymore, and I don't know how to hide and express emotions." ”
"It's more than enough to be a TV actor. Gan Jing said casually, "Let's go, hurry up and take a walk, before this group of people is embarrassed to ask me for an autograph." ”
He put on his sunglasses and sunhat again, and disappeared into the crowd on a whirlwind.
It was probably a two-hour free stroll, and more and more tourists and fans knew the news of Forrest Gump's arrival, and his wandering path was not easy, but even so, Gan Jing still left a general impression.
The classic images of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves have never been so clearly presented in front of the eyes, as if they brought people back to the work at once.
"The kids really enjoyed it. ”
Gan Jingyou observed that many tourists came as families, and the children laughed and laughed and laughed, which was very pleasant.
"Awen, what do you think would happen if we didn't engage in these images of foreign countries in China and make our own classic works in the past?" Gan Jing drew inferences, thinking about the domestic situation.
"For example?" Arwen sees the discussion with his boss as a channel for his ability to improve.
"For example, Hulu Baby, Monkey King, Nezha, Zhu Bajie, there are many images that are actually in the series of mythological works we do, and the copyright is open copyright, and we can use it directly. Gan Jing went to a corner where few people paid attention, and while looking at the scenery in the garden, he thought about the feasibility.
Arwen pondered for a while, and honestly said what he thought: "Boss, I don't think today's children may recognize this, what do they look at Hokage, Conan, SpongeBob SquarePants and the like, Monkey King and Nezha are indeed images in our culture, but they are not very fashionable." ”
Fashionable?
Gan Jing fell into deep thought, he has no data in his hands to support it, what do children like now?
In addition, although he has participated in many types of movies, he really has never acted in what children love to watch, at most he dubbed animation, and he is not an expert in this regard.
"Actually, if it's a paradise, it's a long job. Gan Jing pondered and said, "I know that Disney made an animated image first and then made an amusement park, but I don't think it will all follow this path." "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", which was released in China last year, had a good response, and if domestic animation works hard for it, it should still be okay. ”
Ah Wen went to the movie to watch the return of the Great Sage, and when she heard her boss say this, she felt that it made sense.
"Hmm...... It seems to be eh. However, I don't think Mr. Liu or Mrs. Liu don't agree with this idea, and they always take into account a variety of factors. Arwen knew what the boss was discussing in the company.
Gan Jing stretched and said with a smile: "The truth is not necessarily in the hands of the majority. ”
Buzzing, the phone vibrated and interrupted the exchange of opinions between the two people.
Gan Jing said while holding his mobile phone: "This matter is really worthy of an extremely serious investigation, and I will talk to Lao Chen in person when I return to China this time." ”
After he said this, he looked at the phone screen and saw that it was Hathaway's.
"Hey, Annie, I'm done. Oh, you're done, well... Okay, we'll see you later. ”
Gan Jing hung up the phone and greeted the assistant: "Let's go, let's go to dinner." ”
Arwen immediately followed.
However, after walking a few steps, Gan Jing turned his head and said, "You are free to eat whatever you want at noon, and I will reimburse you." ”
Ah Wen was stunned, and only reacted later, is this not to let himself eat with him?
Cough......
"Okay. The assistant replied.
Gan Jing continued to walk forward, but Ah Wen looked at the boss's back and always felt that his steps were a little faster than usual.
What makes the boss uncharacteristically not bring himself, you know, since he came to the United States, he has been in decline?
What makes the boss go against his usual attitude, you know, he has always been approachable, how can he meet a friend and turn around and leave?
What makes the boss feel so entangled?
Is it a contradiction? Is it a feeling? Is it a beauty?
Unbeknownst to Aven, she arrived at the high-end restaurant she had booked and left with a quick glance.
But just this glance, she saw that the box was very large, the sofa was very soft, and she saw the independent bathroom, well, the restaurant was really high-end and functional.
Old friends meet, long time no see, the atmosphere is pleasant.
At this lunch, Hathaway was satisfied, and Gan Jing was also satisfied.
It was only in the afternoon that Gan Jing saw his assistant again.
"Hey, boss, are you alright?" Arwen asked.
Gan Jing's face did not change, and he nodded: "It's good." That, someone from CCTV will come over tomorrow, you should contact you in advance today, after all, it's someone from the TV station, don't let people feel that the hospitality is not good. ”
Arwen listened to the forcibly diverted topic and agreed.
Buzz, another phone vibrating.
Gan Jing touched it out, saw the screen, his face changed slightly, and pressed the answer button: "Hey, Scarlett, why did you call me?" Haha, I'm not in the United States today, your reason is very lame." Well...... Afternoon......"
Arwen saw the boss's eyes shake, and then heard the next sentence.
"I have something to do in the afternoon, and I'll treat you to dinner in the evening. You're in Los Angeles, right? Anyway, where did you sign your foreign brokerage contract? Okay, let's talk about it in the evening. ”
The phone hung up, and the boss's expression was a little serious.
"Boss, what are we doing in the afternoon?" Arwen asked.
Gan Jing returned to his senses and replied, "Back to the hotel, I need to think about the problem." ”
Hulala, the two of them drove home directly.
For an entire afternoon, Arwen neither saw his boss nor received his call.
It was only in the evening that she met her energetic boss.
"Awen, in the evening, you will contact the CCTV recording team that will come over tomorrow, and the Chinese group here in Los Angeles will also contact you, and strive to finish the shooting at one time tomorrow. ”
Gan Jing had recorded the blessings of overseas Chinese before because he did not appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala because of the schedule, and he also declined the invitation to appear on the stage this year - the review of the Spring Festival Gala program was too time-consuming, and he really couldn't pull it out.
However, because of the popularity, celebrities and the habit of appearing in the past, the CCTV director team agreed to Forrest Gump's proposal to record blessings.
"No problem, boss, promise to get the job done. Arwen gave assurances.
In this way, after evening, she lost the trace of Forrest Gump again after receiving instructions from her boss.
This time it was longer than the noon time.
It wasn't until half past eleven in the evening that Arwen met the boss who came back wearing sunglasses.
"How is it? The recording team didn't miss the plane or anything, right?" Gan Jing entered the suite, took off his sunglasses, and asked about the progress of the work.
"No, they will be there tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, and the local Chinese delegation will be integrated at 8 o'clock, and everything is going well. "Aven reported.
Gan Jing bowed slightly.
"Boss, drink tea, moisten your throat, I'm afraid I won't have to record it several times tomorrow." Arwen handed over the tea that had been prepared.
Gan Jing habitually took it, thinking about the next things, and suddenly felt that the taste of tea in his mouth was different from usual, and when he looked down, he saw that there were wolfberries in the tea.
Well......
Gan Jing drank it silently, and then criticized: "Awen, don't change the tea easily, it's not good to change the taste once you get used to it." ”
Arwen nodded.
"Still, it's okay to try it once in a while. Gan Jing handed the cup back and said very naturally, "Let's have another cup." ”
"Okay, boss. ”
Arwen is a good assistant, always silently performing his work, even if there is some gossip, he just puts it in his heart and lets it burn.
