After resting for three days in the capital to deal with affairs, Gan Jing's spirit was relaxed, and then he returned to Treasure Island.

He asked Zhou Dongyu to play the role of the youth faction, which was regarded as giving her some small benefits during the summer vacation, traveling around the island, and reimbursement of expenses, but her documents still needed to be processed, so Gan Jing took four bodyguards back to Taipei first.

Director Ang Lee was not here, he went to Taichung to inspect the new filming location, there is a huge water tank over there, and you can use a wave machine to make better results.

Half of the crew followed, mostly special effects production personnel, who needed to communicate with the director about the quality of the special effects at any time.

The production of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" has been basically completed this month, and more energy can be moved to the side of the youth faction in China, and everyone is gearing up.

It's one thing for Gan Jing to be unhappy in acting, but these people are full of motivation when they think that every minute of their work is silently impacting the Oscars.

After resting in Taipei for one night, Gan Jing contacted Huaxia Special Effects to understand the situation and then called Director Tsui Hark, which can be regarded as maintaining a relationship with each other.

The quality of the special effects of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" Gan Jing saw the short video from the company in his notebook, and he felt pretty good, so he had the confidence to compare with Tsui Hark.

The special effects are done, everything is easy to say, Tsui Hark has his own mind, and he was not too angry because of the stagnation caused by the shift of the center of gravity.

……

Just as Gan Jing continued to work hard for the Youth School, Warner America held a small evaluation meeting for the Oriental actor.

As the vice president of the business unit and Forrest Gump's agent, Andy attended the meeting as a matter of course.

Warner is a giant in Hollywood, with many businesses under its umbrella, television, media, communications, music...... And even when you take into account the variety of businesses, the film side still occupies the most prominent position.

The French literary film "Untouchable" was introduced and distributed by Warner through Forrest Gump's relationship, and the problems encountered in the process are not noticed by the headquarters until today - a common problem of giant companies, which are often slow to respond to certain problems.

Therefore, when attention is paid to certain issues, it must be taken seriously and seriously.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the feedback from the global distribution side, when Huaxia introduced our film, it seems that it rejected a film because of Forrest Gump's appearance. This question deserves our attention, if Forrest Gump is banned by the Chinese government, then should he continue to be praised by our Warner?"

Today's review meeting was chaired by Warner senior Smith, who spoke with a blank face, and the screen behind him listed Forrest Gump's suspected problems, including not only the release of "Untouchable", but also Young Piary's assessment of Forrest Gump's cooperation with Ang Lee.

"Ladies and gentlemen, at present, Forrest Gump is an actor trained by us ourselves, and we have cooperated a lot with him, and his works that we have released have a lot of profits. Andy spoke directly, looked around, and said, "The problem of "Untouchable" is just a small problem, so there is no need to make such a big deal about it. ”

Smith continued his expressionlessness: "Any actor can get a good result with our Warners' support. ”

"How many can be nominated for an Oscar?" Andy asked, "How many yellow-skinned people can get this nomination?"

Smith reminded, "What we're talking about now is whether this yellow-skinned aura is fading. According to our assessment and understanding, he is likely to be Han Sanping of Huaxia China Film Group. This person is very energetic in the Chinese film circle, stuck with the import of foreign films. ”

It's a real problem, Andy has used his connections to make efforts before, and then it didn't work.

From "The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog" and "2012", including "The Hangover 1 and 2", "Heartbeat" and "Crazy Stupid Love", which he has invested in, there are not many factors that can rely on his nationality, but the box office has a good performance. Smith, it's time to admit that Forrest Gump can stand in Hollywood with his acting skills alone. The factors of Huaxia Ticket Warehouse are good and icing on the cake, but no, and it is not a charcoal in the snow. Andy talked eloquently, counting Forrest Gump's acting experience.

The other attendees in the conference room, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, exchanged words with each other.

Smith could hear some words from the people next to him, and he groaned a little for a moment.

Andy struck while the iron was hot: "According to what I know about Forrest Gump, he has the characteristics of affection and righteousness in Chinese culture, and this kind of support at this moment will be rewarded." ”

Smith, who was in the main seat, nodded slowly, and after a while, he turned to the other white man and asked, "Adelaide, what do you think?"

Adelaide, who was next to him, looked down at the data and evaluations on the screen, and analyzed: "Forrest Gump's best box office result now is "2012", but this film is more important because of special effects. "Untouchable", which is about to be released now, basically has no special effects, but it is just right to compare. The global box office of "2012" can be appropriately excluded from the results of the Huaxia box office, and then compared. It doesn't have to be either/or, we use his results to judge whether it is a strong support or a normal treatment. ”

The praise discussed at this moment is not just lip service, it is also related to the script, shooting resources, and the lobbying of the Oscar judges that Gan Jing is anxious about now.

Every year's Oscar selection is an award selected in the game, and not all the judges may be affected, but a considerable part can be tendentious.

These expenses are calculated within Warners and are the distribution of the rights of its actors.

The giant Warner is not only an actor Forrest Gump, even if he is the Cannes actor, there are many big actors in the group who can compete with him.

"Then let's observe for now. I've heard that Time has resources to use, so don't use them for Forrest Gump for now. Smith made the decision, and by the way, he deprived Forrest Gump of the opportunity to cover Time magazine.

Andy didn't speak, he felt that the result was acceptable, and of course, he knew that Smith would give the deprived resources to his own people.

After the meeting, Andy immediately called Forrest Gump, but it didn't go through.

After thinking about it, he decided not to tell the actor about this side of the matter, but just made up a text message and sent it to Gan Jing, asking him to act hard and improve every day.

Gan Jing felt a little inexplicable when he received the text message from the economic man, Andy was never the one who sent text messages, he always called directly to explain things.

Could it be that this is a change in the way men want to get married?

Become a mother-in-law mom?

After seeing the content of the text message, Gan Jing didn't think much about it, but teased his agent in his heart, and then planned to follow the crew's car to Taichung to have a look.

The news that he just received that day, director Ang Lee confirmed that he was going to use the filming location in Taichung City, and he notified the Taipei crew to move to Taichung City first, and then settle near Shuinan Airport.

A large tank 21 meters long, 9 meters wide and 1.2 meters deep will be renovated to hold 6,400 liters of water.

In the meantime, you can enjoy the waves with a small boat.

This project will be completed by the Taichung City Government and the crew - Ang Lee, known as the "Light of Treasure Island", has no reputation in Treasure Island.

……

"Forrest Gump, there is dinner in the evening, let's go together. ”

Seeing that the filming location was about to be completed, Ang Lee approached Gan Jing and made a request.

"Ahh

"Someone in the government and one of the Wangs. Ang Lee replied.

"Wang?" Gan Jing was at a loss, "That Wang's surname is Wang, famous, ornamental, and deceased?"

"Do you know Wang Yongqing on this side of the treasure island?" asked Li An patiently.

Gan Jing shook his head honestly.

"What about Formosa Plastics?" Ang Lee thought for a moment and asked a different question.

Gan Jing continued to shake his head honestly.

"This is a wealthy man who claims to be the god of business on Treasure Island. Li An was surprised, "You haven't heard of it?"

Obviously, this gentleman should be so famous on Treasure Island that director Ang Lee was blinded by his own experience......

"Is he here tonight?" asked Gan Jing.

"I'm afraid I'll go if he's there. Li An shook his head, "He passed away a few years ago, but his daughter Wang Xuehong is the chairman of HTC, and the children in his family are relatively promising." Tonight is one of their family, named Wang Changxiang. ”

"Then you said so much, what is this dinner for?" Gan Jing didn't understand too much, and shirked, "I'm not familiar with the people here, so I won't go there at night, I plan to go back and study the script again." ”

"You are a dignified actor, this script is not easy to capture. Li An smiled and patted a little, "If you don't go, you can't go, people want to see you by name." ”

Gan Jing pointed to his nose with his index finger and wondered: "See what I'm doing, I'm not a big beauty, and I'm not Lin Zhiling." Wait, is this Wang Changxiang a man or a woman?"

"Male. Ang Lee rolled his eyes, "The relationship between the Wang family and the government is good, we sometimes need to use this side to shoot something, and people want to see you because of your fame." It's all about the film. ”

"Co-author, I not only have to control my acting skills, but also sell you sex. Gan Jing took two steps back, a little speechless.

Li Anyuan's round face was full of seriousness: "Selling art is not selling yourself." ”

"......" Gan Jing was helpless, "Okay, go and go." ”

"Okay, then the trick of Zhou Dongyu you said, I'll give her a few more shots. ”

It's really all about exchange...... Gan Jing shook his head, or rather, this should be repaid with peach.

I really tried my best for Zhou Dongyu! If you can't be popular, you really can't blame yourself!

……

In the afternoon, after inspecting all aspects of work, Li Ang announced his rest in advance, and then waited for Gan Jing to tidy up a little before going to the restaurant in Taichung City together.

Dinner was French cuisine, according to the director, a three-Michelin-starred certified restaurant, and the chef was Joe, the youngest ever to win three Michelin stars in the shortest time, with 28 stars.

Gan Jing didn't care much about this, but he felt that it sounded very compelling.

Soon, the director and the leading actors, accompanied by two bodyguards, arrived at the restaurant.

"Hi, Big Director. At the door, there was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, who looked about thirty years old, with a very enthusiastic attitude, and after greeting Li An, he looked at Gan Jing again, "Forrest Gump, hello, I have heard your name for a long time, it is better to meet than to be famous." I'm Han Xuan. ”

"Mr. Han is too polite. Gan Jing smiled and shook hands with this person.

Han Xuan welcomed the two guests into the restaurant, while the two bodyguards stayed in the car.

"Secretary Liao is already here, Mr. Chen has also arrived, Mr. Wang will probably take a while, and he will come as soon as he finishes dealing with the company's affairs. Han Xuan walked to the side and introduced the situation.

Because the bodyguards were not familiar with the roads in Taichung City, Gan Jing and Li An were already a little late, but it was the appointed time.

But now it sounds like Wang Changxiang of the Wang family, as the host of the banquet, has not yet arrived.

"Well, people in the business are very busy and hard working right now. Li An nodded understandingly.

Han Xuan quickened his pace and walked to the door of the front van compartment first, pushed open the door first, and then asked the two to invite in, and then finally walked in.

The people in the box had already stood up when the outsiders came in, and they were all smiling.

Li An is more familiar with these people, and introduced Gan Jing to him one by one, and Gan Jing responded and greeted them one by one.

This kind of dinner is the time to praise each other at the moment, although he doesn't have a good impression, but it doesn't hurt to listen to it - these things should be regarded as a compulsory course for an actor like him.

When the French appetizers were served, the box door was pushed open, and a man with a slightly hooked nose strode in.

"Excuse me, everyone, it's late, it's late. The man looked around, and smiled when he saw Gan Jing, "This is our actor Forrest Gump, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Wang Changxiang." ”

Gan Jing stood up and shook hands with him, and said politely, "Mr. Wang, it's also a pleasure to meet you." ”

"Now that Huaxia actors are so powerful, I didn't expect it. Wang Changxiang smiled, "I admire, I admire." ”

Why do you feel bad in the dark?

Gan Jing exhaled, feeling a slight discomfort from this sentence.

The French appetizer on the table is a cold appetizer, full of fruits and vegetables, Gan Jing took a bite and listened to Wang Changxiang continue: "Push forward a few years, the actors and singers on our side are resounding in Southeast Asia, but I didn't expect the actors in Huaxia to grow so fast, amazing, amazing." ”

Although this is a boast, it sounds a little strange.

Gan Jing took a bite of the dish, wondering what was wrong.

The vegetables rattled in his mouth, Gan Jing stopped abruptly in his mouth, then swallowed the vegetables that were crushed into several petals, and reminded without hesitation: "It's an actor from the mainland." ”

He knew something was wrong.
