Chapter 278: Rubbing shoulders
Hey, can you show some professionalism, can you show some seriousness, can you show some respect for the movie?
Such a hasty decision!
It's just about to catch up with me!
Gan Jing looked at Manon with a questioning look, and Manon returned with a calm look.
After a long time, she couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "What do you think I'm doing?"
"I see that you even translated 'tsk' just now, and now you have translated my questioning eyes as well. Gan Jing said solemnly.
Manon hesitated.
Seeing that this blonde woman really showed hesitation, Gan Jing only felt that it was a confirmation of a sentence he had heard - Xiong Da is brainless.
In the distant forest, there lived two bears, one named Xiong Da and the other ...... Hey.
"Ask, ask why don't you need an audition......?
"Oooh. Manon hastened to ask.
Gan Jing suddenly found that this female translator had a sense of stupidity and cuteness.
"Lao Chen, do you hear me? Brother doesn't need an audition to play this. Gan Jing whispered to Chen Huihong next to him.
Chen Huihong squinted: "What do you want to show off with me? I'm happy that my artist doesn't have to audition." β
Also, the two are in the same position.
Manon communicated with Eric and Olivier for a while, and then said: "In terms of acting, we think the acting skills of the Cannes actor are completely sufficient. We believe in Cannes, and I've seen Forrest Gump's "Beautiful Mistake", which is really great. β
These two are French directors, and Cannes is the most famous film festival in France, and a sense of local pride and trust comes from the surface.
In fact, when Gan Jing reached the top of the stage in Cannes, the two were sitting in the audience, and they were very impressed by this yellow-skinned man from the East, which is one of the reasons why they contacted Forrest Gump in the first place.
Manon continued, "We just wanted to hear your understanding of the character. Of course, the time may be shorter and hasty now. But we want to hear how you feel. β
"Also, I've heard that you like to invest...... Hmm......" The woman cast a look, I don't know if there was no second half or if she cut it off on her own.
"Hey, isn't the translation progressing? Gan Jing praised first, then turned his head to Lao Chen and said, "It's said that it's not an audition, it's just a role, but it's actually a kind of audition." β
Lao Chen nodded.
Gan Jing looked at the two directors who were stunned, and thought for a while, he really knew how to read the script last night, and he felt a little touched in his heart.
At first impression, the tone of the story is warm.
Gan Jing doesn't know who translated the name of this script as "untouchable", but he thinks the translation is still in place.
Why can't I touch it?
Because confidants are hard to find.
It is enough to have a confidant in life, and the world should regard it together, which is a sentence of Mr. Lu Xun, which points out the preciousness of a confidant and is a common emotion of human beings.
In this story, it is difficult to say which is the main character, the paralyzed rich man Philip and the black guy Dries, and the two have similar scenes.
One is a gentleman and the other is a horseman.
One has a lot of wealth, and the other has just come out of prison to earn a living.
They are completely different classes, and once they meet, they stir up a spark, which is the inevitable result of living habits, ideas, and circles.
But the two have the same pursuit of beauty in their hearts, and it is based on this that they become confidants and friends.
The story of this script is based on a true story, so the whole story looks particularly touching and the narration is very smooth.
Gan Jing sorted out his thoughts, and said his understanding of the film freely, he did not simply describe the role of Philip, but from the perspective of the whole story.
The process of learning storyboards with director Tsui Hark was actually the process of the great director teaching Gan Jing how to shoot from a director's point of view.
Gan Jing's kung fu skills are not enough, but he still learns something.
His narration was so coherent that Manon translated it quickly.
After talking on the phone, Gan Jing found a problem, this woman seemed to translate more than she said, I don't know if it was because of the difference between the two Chinese.
Olivier and Eric listened attentively, nodding from time to time.
After this understanding of the script, the two directors communicated in French for a while, and then Eric, a slightly old-fashioned white man, looked at Gan Jing with a serious eye and only said one sentence.
His eyes were so serious, his face was so serious, and his tone was so solemn, Gan Jing, who was sitting in the chair, couldn't help but lean forward to show his respect.
Manon quickly translated: "I heard that Forrest Gump is kind and charitable, do you have any money?"
Cha!
I almost didn't come up in one breath!
Gan Jing couldn't help but stretch out his fingers, and asked in disbelief: "He asked me this? Don't talk about the script? Don't talk about my understanding of the role?
Manon translated the past, and no one in this room knew whether he was faithful to the original text.
"I didn't say it. That's Manon's answer.
"No money. This is Gan Jing's reply.
What bullshit, am I that kind of person?
Who gave me the reputation? And all of them went to France?
Thinking like this, Gan Jing couldn't help but think of an image of messy hair in his mind - why he had an intuition that this matter was related to the Mexican director IΓ±Γ‘rritu of "Beautiful Mistake".
Olivier and Eric looked disappointed at the same time, but then expressed their excitement.
"We'll get the investment together and then start it up, maybe a little bit longer. If it doesn't go well, it will be in May or June at the latest, and it will never be delayed until the second half of the year. "That's pretty open and honest.
However, Gan Jing did not relent, just nodded, and finally confirmed: "Is this okay?"
"Yes. β
"That ......" Rao is Ganjing also felt a little dazed, and secretly considered whether this was a romance that belonged to French men.
But whether it's romantic or wave, it depends on the follow-up crew.
"Welcome to the capital of China and have a good rest today. There are many delicious and fun things to eat and play in the capital, and you will not be disappointed. β
Now that the intention has been finalized, Gan Jing stopped talking nonsense and said goodbye to the two directors, but then said: "There are enough seats in our car, Lao Chen and I will send you to the hotel." β
The three Frenchmen humbled and readily agreed.
Lao Chen drove, Gan Jing was the co-driver, and the three Frenchmen were in the back seat, along the way, Gan Jing chatted with the two directors through this female translator who didn't know whether it was reliable or not, and it was said to be certified.
In terms of the script, he must continue to dig, and he will never be able to grasp it well after reading it through, but Gan Jing is quite confident.
At night, he galloped all the way to the door of the Hilton Hotel where he stayed, Lao Chen parked and got out of the car to see him off.
Just after a few words of greeting, three cars drove in the back passage, and a group of people came down.
Gan Jing didn't care, he was still talking to Manon, when a group of people were just about to walk past him, when they suddenly stopped.
"Gan Jing?"
Gan Jing turned his head sideways, glanced at it a few times, and said a little uncertainly: "Director Ang Lee?"
"It's me. Is this the crew you auditioned for today, and what was the result?" asked Ang Lee lightly.
"It's been finalized. Gan Jing admitted.
"Okay, don't forget our auditions tomorrow. Ang Lee's face was not different, but he reminded Gan Jing that they had postponed the audition twice.
Gan Jing shrugged, nodded, and watched a group of people enter the hotel.
"Mountains and rivers meet, goodbye!" Manon waited for their conversation before saying his final farewell.
Gan Jing shook the hands of the three Frenchmen vigorously, and curiosity emerged from the depths of his heart - who taught this Manon Chinese?
