Chapter 868: Picking People
Bairihong's film and television department quickly contacted Liu Yijun of Nortel and Wang Chuanjun of the play, and at the same time sent more detailed information about the two to the boss.
These two are actors who have starred in many works, and they are not very famous, Wang Chuanjun may be more famous because of an urban youth comedy, but in Gan Jing's eyes, they are all negligible factors.
He was just thinking about the applicability of the two.
"Ah Fei, these two people have schedules, right...... Well, you send me their WeChat account, and I'll take a look at them directly on video, there are not many scenes, and the people in the province are running back and forth. ”
Gan Jing's choice is a preliminary screening, first remove one that does not match, and then verify the remaining one in person - of course, if there is a point that can impress you, it is not impossible for the two to be together, and everything depends on the situation.
On the evening of the launch ceremony of "Scorching Sun", Gan Jing returned to the hotel, opened his notebook, logged on to the computer version of WeChat, and connected the two people.
Because Bairihong has already notified the two actors, they must also be waiting for further contact, so the video was quickly connected.
In the video on the screen, Gan Jing suddenly felt a little embarrassed, he was sitting on the sofa in a pajama after taking a shower, but the other two were dressed in formal clothes, which was very formal.
Isn't that a bit disrespectful?
Gan Jing felt slightly inappropriate in his heart, even if he became a big coffee, he was used to treating people as human beings.
"Ahem, Director Cao, come and sit here. "It seemed a little too obvious to go and change clothes immediately now, and Gan Jing took another remedy.
Cao Baoping, who was also dressed sleepily, appeared in the video with a big stab, and he came to talk to Forrest Gump about the script.
As a result, two people in pajamas, sitting side by side, are less conspicuous.
"Hello, Liu Yijun, Wang Chuanjun, this is director Cao Baoping, and I am producer Gan Jing. Gan Jing made a due introduction with peace of mind.
The two actors connected to the video were keenly aware of Forrest Gump's self-introduction as a "producer".
Among the rivers and lakes, the actor is undoubtedly Forrest Gump's most dazzling identity, followed by his identity as the chairman of Bairihong, and again, the identity of the investor may be more famous than the producer.
"Director Cao is good, Forrest Gump is good. ”
"Director Cao is good, Mr. Gan is good. ”
This identity cognition brings the problem of title, the two actors blurt out different titles, and there is subtle embarrassment when they speak at the same time.
No matter what kind of director, a surname plus the word "director" is enough.
But what about Forrest Gump?
Call him Brother Gan, both of them are much older than him, and something is not right;Call him Forrest Gump, it's actually a bit reckless to shout like this in the first chat;Call him Gan to produce, has the identity of the actor and chairman been eaten?
Liu Yijun was born in 70 years, and instantly chose a "Forrest Gump" who sounded slightly familiar but was called by many friends.
Wang Chuanjun was born in 85, he is not as big as Liu Yijun, and he can use the age gap to make up for the sense of alienation, and chose a well-known identity "Mr. Gan".
Anyway, no one shouted "Gan Production".
Gan Jing didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but Cao Baoping on the side smiled silently, not only in response to the greetings of the two of them, but also because he thought this kind of strain was interesting.
People in the entertainment industry, monkey spirits, monkey spirits.
"That's right, the two of you should also know about the start of our movie, there are some temporary changes and there is a lack of actors, and there are not many scenes, almost ......" Gan Jing thought about the plot in the script and said, "The time that can be presented in the movie is about ten minutes...... Well, the identity is a man with a high IQ who escapes the suspect and pretends to be a low IQ. ”
Ten minutes or so will probably be edited into the scenes of the movie, which is definitely not long in the usual story of about 120 minutes, but in films with Gan Jing, Deng Chao, Guo Tao, and Zhou Dongyu, playing a slightly better role will play a role in the development of the future career.
Five million people see 50 minutes in a bad movie than 50 million people see 10 minutes in a good movie.
"By the way, I may have to make some sacrifices in terms of image, I can't see it clearly, can I ask the two of you to stand up a little bit? I want to see the overall appearance of the play. Because I really haven't cooperated before, forgive me, forgive me. Gan Jing made a request first.
Both alternate actors stood up in their respective videos.
Well, they are all quite tall, Liu Yijun should be like himself, and Wang Chuanjun is a little taller, such a height should have a good contrast effect when playing a role.
Gan Jing thought about it in his heart, and made another request: "Can the two of you get a little closer to the camera? ”
The two alternate actors moved from their seats to the camera again, bringing two large faces on the screen.
Gan Jing examined the contours of the two men's faces, unconsciously tapping his fingers, weighing the imaginary images and characters.
His trade-off was a few minutes of quiet time, which was not broken until Cao Baoping's cough sounded next to him.
Gan Jing woke up like a dream and asked the director who had been forgotten by him: "Director Cao, what do you think?"
If you look at it this way, Wang Chuanjun may be more in line. Cao Baoping is not only a director, but also a screenwriter, and it was he who actively looked for investors to promote the filming of this film.
Gan Jing nodded, Wang Chuanjun's temperament will be better on the appearance, and the makeup should be okay if he wears makeup.
The initial choice of a role is thus decided, and the investor, producer, starring Gan Jing and director Cao Baoping have such a right to speak.
"Liu Yijun, then I'm sorry, I'll settle down on Wang Chuanjun for now, and I can cooperate if I have the opportunity in the future. Gan Jing confirmed the choice and said politely.
He just didn't plan to delay the time, so he directly contacted the two of them tonight to open the video, and the result was also an instant decision.
If it is a bunch of good words and polite words, in the end, it is actually the time of these two actors that is wasted, and Gan Jing believes that they understand this.
Wang Chuanjun in the video looked happy and thanked him repeatedly.
On the other side, Liu Yijun was a little disappointed, but he said: "Forrest Gump, Director Cao, can I go to the crew to talk face-to-face? Whether it is thin or fat, or acting requirements, I am very sure that I can overcome it." Even the face can be adjusted with the camera angle. ”
Gan Jing raised his eyebrows, Cao Baoping had no expression on his face, and Wang Chuanjun was suddenly stunned when he was happy.
Many resources in the film and television industry have to be fought for, but some are on the surface, and some are private.
The director's eyes are observing Forrest Gump's expression, and the two alternate actors in the video are also staring at the pajama celebrity.
Gan Jing groaned slightly, and his face was apologetic: "I'm sorry, this decision is like this." ”
Liu Yijun looked disappointed, and Wang Chuanjun breathed a sigh of relief.
The next moment, Gan Jing showed a smile: "However, there are two mythological movies on my side that have started filming in the first half of the year, I can make an appointment with you for a role, you can call the phone number you contacted in the afternoon, and you can see the role." ”
"Ah, thank you so much, Forrest Gump. Liu Yijun didn't expect such a turn.
"It's fine. I like actors who have acting skills. ”
Gan Jing said lightly.
