Chapter 183: The Last Straw
Regardless of the reason, the inclination in Gan Jing's heart changed again.
He likes those light-hearted and enjoyable scripted films, "The Hangover" and "2012" are like this, while "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko" and "Mei Lanfang" are the opposite.
However, there are a lot of shots for Hachiko in the loyal dog, and he feels okay in his heart, and Mei Lanfang before, this role is a little depressing.
This kind of repression is not as good as "Beautiful Mistake".
Gan Jing had a balance in his heart, but he never made a decision.
Andy didn't continue to give advice, Zhou Xun is the same, this meal is all about casual talk, Andy is curious about the ecology of the Chinese entertainment industry, and Zhou Xun has certain ideas about expanding international influence.
The two people have their own opinions, and Gan Jing, who is an observer, benefits the most.
At the end of the meal, Zhou Xun was about to return to China after two days in Los Angeles, and when she left, it was Gan Jing who sent her to the international airport.
The advantage of being abroad is that it is not easy to attract onlookers, and Zhou Xun is particularly satisfied with this.
"Gan Jing, your current development opportunities are good, you must cherish them. Don't rush as you do at home. As the boss of the studio, Zhou Xun took up the role of his predecessors.
"When will you send money?" Gan Jing suddenly said.
Zhou Xun was dumbfounded.
The studio has really not paid money since its establishment, mainly because Gan Jing's side has not walked through the studio, and it is not the studio's resources, but Zhou Xun sent money to Chen Huihong.
"Wait for you to return to China to pick up the job!" Zhou Xun said.
Gan Jing shrugged his shoulders, with a grinning face, of course he didn't care about this, he just didn't want the atmosphere to be so serious.
"Finally, the book "Beautiful Mistake" is good, if you can play it well, you can also play other plays well. Zhou Xun asserted, looked at Gan Jing's still uncaring appearance, slapped his shoulder hatefully, and turned his head into the waiting room.
Gan Jing waved at her back, adding weight to her heart again.
In fact, after going back last night, he read through the script again, and compared to the last time he understood the overall story, this time he went to see the protagonist with a pondering mentality.
Looking at this time, he really felt the pressure and felt that it was not easy to play this role well.
Challenge, huge challenge.
Even with Leslie Cheung's acting experience, Gan Jing is still a little faintly afraid.
Is it really necessary to act when you have this time?
On his way back, Gan Jing received a call from the hapless Mexican director Iñárritu, asking what he thought about it.
"I want to know, who is your original target protagonist?" Gan Jing asked one such question, and Inárritutu said that he was looking at the thatched house, so Gan Jing wanted to know who this person was.
"It's Javier Bardem. Iñárritu's voice was a little muffled.
"Javier Bardem?" repeated Ganjing.
Iñárritu thought that Gan Jing had not debuted for a long time, and reported a few names: "Before Nightfall", nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor, "No Country for Old Men", Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, "Midnight Barcelona", Golden Globe Award for Best Actor......"
Gan Jing swallowed his saliva, it sounded very murderous, no wonder he wanted to look at the thatched house.
Immediately, he asked, "You have a budget for that money, how can you please him?"
"I didn't ask for it. "Iñárritu is poor and white, and the smell of rotten hob meat is blowing in his face.
Gan Jing Yu stopped.
"Where are you? Let's meet and talk about the script. Iñárritule demanded.
After a little hesitation, Gan Jing did not refuse, and made an appointment with him at a time and place.
The script of "Beautiful Mistake" is good, even if you don't do something that hurts people's character like cutting off your beard halfway, it is very beneficial to discuss the script with the director.
Listening to the Mexican director's shooting ideas and his analysis of the main character will help you understand the complex characters.
In the films he starred in in the past, except for Mei Lanfang, the others are very simple.
And even Mei Lanfang, most of his appearance is always calm and plain, Gan Jing tried his best to perform the fluctuations in his heart, but due to the story setting, the changes he made were limited.
Gan Jing is satisfied with "Mei Lanfang" as his first work, but Gan Jing is slightly regretful about its effect.
directly let the taxi change the destination, and Gan Jing rethought the plot of the script.
The famous Peninsula Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles, the afternoon tea here was told by Andy to Gan Jing, the purpose is to invite some friends to eat something that can be eaten......
After Gan Jing arrived here, he was already very close to the time he had made an appointment with the director, he looked at the menu, and after waiting for a while, he found that Inárritu had not yet arrived, so he made a phone call.
But as soon as the call was dialed, it was hung up.
Gan Jing was a little strange, guessing that there was a reason for the incident and continued to wait for a reply.
About twenty minutes later, a call from the unlucky director came.
"I'm sorry, Forrest Gump, Javier and I just talked, and I'm on my way to you right now. ”
Inárritu's reason made Gan Jing stunned.
At this moment, he suddenly knew the reason for the director's bad luck - his EQ is so low, no wonder his wife ran away with someone! No wonder your partner cheated you out of your money! No wonder you don't move people!
This is especially good to treat yourself as a spare tire, and tell yourself so openly.
Should we admire his stupidity, or should we be moved by his sincerity???
Gan Jing took a sip of tea and calmed down.
Half-cut off the beard and hurt the character?
Inexistent!
The last straw had weighed on Gan Jingxin before Iñárritu arrived, and he made a decision.
I'm going to play the book "Beautiful Mistake"! I'm going to play Ukbauer! I'm just going to challenge myself!
What heavy and gloomy is not there!
What acting difficulty?
Gan Jing's heart exploded instantly, and he had already made up his mind.
Javier Bardem, right? Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, Golden Globe for Best Actor......
Thinking of this, Gan Jing suddenly wondered, why did he get angry at this person? Obviously, he had never met or dealt with him.
Eh, probably because the unlucky director is so unlucky that his anger can't be sprinkled on him??
Gan Jing examined himself for a moment, and then exploded again in the first sentence of director Iñárritu.
"I met Javier and I told him I could use you too. He says he doesn't know you. I told him that you played Mei Lanfang, and he said he didn't know you. I told him that you acted in "2012", and he said that you should not spoil the script with your bad acting skills. Iñárritu's tone was sincere, and he recounted his encounter with an expression that he was absolutely not lying.
This is a director with low emotional intelligence, but he brought countless straws and successfully suppressed Gan Jing!
