Chapter 574: Audition and Directing (2-in-1)

The itinerary for returning from Cannes has been decided, and Gan Jing said hello to Jia Zhangke after contacting some new friends from all over the world, and he had been invited to take charge of a new play for him.

Jia Zhangke's trip to France gained a lot of money, and he was in a very good mood, saying that he would read Forrest Gump's script when he returned to China.

The idea is very good, but when Gan Jing landed in the capital, the first news he got was that "Heaven is Destined" seemed to be banned.

The news was said by Lao Chen, and the channel was only "circulated in the industry", but combined with this person's previous film experience, Gan Jing felt that this film was really cold.

But thinking about it sincerely, even if this film is released, it probably won't have much box office, but even so, it is still a blow to Jia Zhangke.

Gan Jing didn't contact the director immediately after knowing the news, and he couldn't bear to expose this kind of thing that hadn't landed yet.

The affairs of the studio are normal, and Gan Jing's return to China is mainly due to two problems, one is the construction of the crew of "Only You", and the other is the in-depth binding publicity of Maoyan Movie.

One of the conditions for Maoyan Film's investment and shareholding is to give full play to his resources and influence in the film industry.

In addition to these two things, other things such as the teaching of Chinese opera, the filming of advertisements, and media interviews are all small but necessary things.

After smoothing out the work arrangement, Gan Jing set the day of auditioning for the two actors on June 6, and even called Zhou Dongyu and Lao Chen to check together.

This is the second film that the studio has set up in a short period of time, and Lao Chen was busy with other things, but he still squeezed out the time.

When this day came, Gan Jing sighed when he saw these two actors for the first time, and had a stronger tendency to choose.

Otherwise, the information on paper is on paper after all, and you can only know if you have that feeling when you see a real person.

Hu Ge is 185 tall, Zhu Yawen is 180 tall, and Zhou Dongyu's official height is 162 - the official thing is naturally to listen to it, anyway, in such a comparison in the room, Hu Ge is a cut taller.

This section is the weight on the scales of the character......

Gan Jing is a real person, and he has a good impression of Hu Ge, so he directly said this problem before the audition started, expressing regret.

"Forrest Gump, I'm here, let's finish the audition. "Hu Ge has a good mentality, after all, he is a person who has almost died once, and he is more Buddhist.

Gan Jing expressed his respect, and looked at Zhu Yawen, who was a little surprised on the side, this one was introduced by Zhou Gongzi, and Gan Jing also specially asked her for a few more performances of Zhu Yawen in the red sorghum, and her acting skills were in place.

The audition is clear before it starts, and the choice of audition scenes is a little more casual.

Gan Jing personally made tea for the two actors and handed it over, and in order to satisfy Hu Ge's complete trip, he said to him: "Let's have a scene between the protagonist coach and his rivalry." ”

Hu Ge was a little surprised and said, "Do you want to make a cameo in this play?"

Gan Jing smiled but did not speak.

Hu Ge suddenly understood, this is the boss personally going into battle to show respect, Forrest Gump is really a wonderful person.

Zhu Yawen, who didn't talk much during the whole process, silently let go of the space, he naturally didn't have any dissatisfaction in his heart, which almost meant that a competitor was removed, and he just had to go home and have fun.

The script had been given to Hu Ge before, and he himself had seen the Korean version of the movie, so he was familiar with the plot and lines, and the two started after Lao Chen moved two stools from outside the office.

Hu Ge brewed his emotions, his eyes slowly narrowed, his right hand pointed to his injured left eyelid, and said blankly: "Brother, wash me here." ”

Gan Jing sat opposite him, shook his head from side to side, and said, "If you put it away, it will slowly reduce the swelling." ”

Hu Ge's expression changed in place for a moment, and he couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the people at home, but the smile pulled at the wound again, and he suddenly grinned: "You will suffer when you go home." ”

The line said that it was a disaster, but the smile that endured the pain was full of happiness.

Gan Jing, the coach, looked helpless and said with a smile: "It's really good, it's amazing, it's so good." Don't die. He grimaced as he said the words of blessing, which was a reference to Hugo's relationship with the heroine.

This action undoubtedly reveals the relationship between the two, and it is difficult for non-friends to do so.

Gan Jing got up from the stool, took out a knife as if there was a table next to him, carefully scratched Hu Ge's eyelids, and asked, "Does it hurt?" This is to drain the swollen bruises.

Hugo closed his eyes and his whole face wrinkled, but he didn't answer.

Gan Jing continued to say indecent words with a serious expression: "So, there is emotion in the knife technique of a lonely man without a lover. ”

Hu Ge groaned in pain, Gan Jing turned his head to wipe it with a cotton swab, showed a smile, and teased: "Although it hurts, it's good to die." "He's genuinely happy to see Hugo find happiness.

Hugo, who closed his eyes and endured the pain, nodded.

"The blood keeps flowing, is it okay?" Gan Jing's expression relaxed, and the laughter was the slightly obscene dumb smile of a man chatting.

Hugo still nodded, as if the pain had eased a bit, and stretched back up his face.

This is the end of the scene.

Gan Jing pushed two steps away, Hu Ge stood up from the stool and stretched out his hand to shake it, and thanked: "Teacher Gan is worthy of being Teacher Gan, this kind of coach's kindness is in place, and it is quite enjoyable." ”

"You're great too. There will be opportunities to cooperate in the future. Gan Jing shook his hands deeply and shook them.

Hugo nodded, turned around and greeted a few of the others in the office, before leaving.

Forrest Gump has made it very clear before, and now this audition is just to save face, so there is no need to stay here and disturb others.

But seeing him leaving, Gan Jing added to his back: "There will be a chance to cooperate in the future, this is not a polite word." ”

Hu Ge laughed, turned around and gave up his hand, and then disappeared from everyone's sight.

Gan Jing sighed a little in his heart, Hu Ge's performance in the audition just now was actually really good, but the reason why "Only You" was built, why it was specially bought out from South Korea, why it was remade, and why Jia Zhangke was invited as a director was all to praise Zhou Dongyu.

The idea of a play is different, so the criteria for selecting actors are also different.

One of the ironclad points of this drama is that the image must be matched, and the male protagonist cannot be too much of the heroine...... Gan Jing thought of this, rolled his eyes at Zhou Dongyu, and looked at the girl inexplicably, not knowing where he provoked Uncle Gan.

"Zhu Yawen. Gan Jing was a little bored in his heart, but he still had a gentle smile on his face, "Brother Xun recommended you to come over, but we still have to see the performance, no problem, right?"

Zhu Yawen immediately nodded: "Teacher Gan, no problem." ”

"Good. Gan Jing waved his hand at Zhou Dongyu, "Dongyu, you and Zhu Yawen are playing, just the scene when the two of them first met and watched TV together." ”

Two actors, a man and a woman, nodded at the same time, and then meditated on their emotions.

The office was quiet, Gan Jing's eyes stopped on Lao Chen, but he was thinking about whether there was a chance to cooperate with Hu Ge, after he came back from winning the Oscar in the United States, Warner did not move, but other big companies still contacted Andy to hand over film contracts.

However, Warner's power turmoil continues, and Gan Jing's goal is to make a movie with a Chinese protagonist, so the combination of inappropriate film appointments and the desire to give himself a holiday has become the current situation.

If it is a script for a Chinese protagonist, how should it be set up to meet the Hollywood market?

First of all, it can't just be Chinese, there must be whites and blacks.

Secondly......

Bang!

Gan Jingfa's divergent train of thought was interrupted, and he turned his head to see that the two actors were already in place.

In the story of "Only You", the heroine Jinghua is a blind girl who lost her sight in a car accident, and the male protagonist Zhemin is a down-and-out former boxer who delivers water to people.

The first meeting between the two was in a security booth guarding the parking lot.

Gan Jing sat at the back of the office, examining Zhou Dongyu and Zhu Yawen's performances, his expression was different from that of Hu Ge just now.

When this scene ended, the hero and heroine saw Forrest Gump's expression at the same time, and they were a little uneasy in their hearts.

Zhou Dongyu was worried that he would have a problem with his performance and would be reprimanded by Uncle Gan, while Zhu Yawen was worried that the audition would not meet the standards and he would not be able to win the role.

After about a minute of silence, Gan Jing finally spoke.

"Zhu Yawen. You're putting on a bit of a push. Gan Jing commented, "I can see that you are trying your best to show your acting skills, and you also have acting skills." But you didn't grasp this balance well. ”

Zhu Yawen's mood suddenly became a little bad, this is not just anyone's comment on himself, this is the evaluation of the world-class double actor and the chairman of the Cannes jury on himself.

It was because this was Forrest Gump, so his mood sank more and more in the silence of the office.

Gan Jing paused for a long time after this sentence, and it wasn't until Lao Chen made a look at him that he reacted, saw Zhu Yawen's somewhat heavy expression, and said with a smile: "You can accept the performance force, I believe that it is no problem after running-in." ”

"If you have a better development on the big screen in the future, you must let your characters be retracted freely, rather than only retracted, not retracted. Gan Jing conceptualized a little advice, and then said, "This character belongs to you, young man." ”

Zhu Yawen's face immediately showed surprise, and the people in the room did not feel disobedient because of this "young man", Forrest Gump is a little "old" because of his achievements.

"Thank you, Mr. Gan, I will definitely grasp this role well and perform my best. I hope Mr. Gan will give me more advice. Zhu Yawen's mood was full of twists and turns, which would be full of joy.

The development from TV series to movies is what countless small-screen actors yearn for, and he is no exception.

"I'll ask Lao Chen to send you, and you can ask your agent to connect with him about contracts and the like. Gan Jing got up to see off the guests.

Zhu Yawen came up to shake hands and say goodbye, and then walked out of the office accompanied by Lao Chen, and the two of them would first draft the direction of the contract.

When only Zhou Dongyu and Gan Jing were left in the office, the girl jumped out at once.

She is really jumping.

jumped up and sat on the desk, which immediately provoked Gan Jing's reprimand.

"Girls, can you pay attention to your image?" Gan Jing said dissatisfiedly, "Then there is a sofa and a stool, and it is like talking to sit on the table?"

Zhou Dongyu looked at the watch on Uncle Gan's wrist with bright eyesβ€”it was given to him by himself, with a cheerful look of praise: "How is it? Did I play a great role just now? Isn't it perfect?"

Gan Jing snorted: "I'm just too lazy to talk about you, and I won't say it until I turn back and enter the group." ”

"Is Jia Zhangke directing this play? When will it be announced?" Zhou Dongyu's legs swayed at the desk, looking straight at Uncle Gan.

"Zhou Dongyu. Gan Jing never had anything good to call her by her full name, and he was used to reprimanding, "No matter before or after people, a little actor like you has to call Director Jia, understand?"

The girl pursed her lips and muttered, "What a stick." ”

Gan Jing ignored it, and while sorting out all kinds of documents on the table, he said: "Lao Jia's play is not ......."

"Old Jia?" Zhou Dongyu interrupted unconvinced.

Gan Jing glanced at it obliquely: "When you become like me, I will let you call others Lao Jia." Lao Jia's play can't pass the trial, and it is estimated that he is still running for the play. There's no waiting for him here, I'll lead the way. ”

Zhou Dongyu nodded inertly, but suddenly reacted after a click, and said dumbfounded: "You are leading?"

"Hmm. ”

The girl jumped off the desk, spun around in place, scratched her head with her right hand, and said regardless of her image: "What do you mean by you being the leader? Are the directors now divided into the lead and the lead? Uncle Gan, are you teasing me!"

"Don't be rigid. Gan Jing quietly grabbed a word that came out of her mouth before, and said lightly, "If you want me to say, this director is not difficult, Lao Jia doesn't know when he will get it." Zhou Shen is busy with the matter of "Beijing Meets Seattle", a remake of a movie of this nature, and it will be offensive for me to go to the director of I again, so it is better to come myself. ”

Zhou Dongyu sent out his own gaze: "Can you do it?"

Gan Jing Miss replied: "Others can guide, but I can't?"

The girl was a little puzzled, what kind of crazy is Uncle Gan......

Sure enough, three days later, although the news was a low-key announcement, it still attracted heated discussions.

This time, Gan Jing's Weibo was not the top hit, and Zhou Dongyu was ranked higher than him.

This girl's latest Weibo is full of such comments.

- "Please tell Forrest Gump, don't toss, come back and act!"

- "Please tell Forrest Gump, no matter how ugly his next play is, I will go to the cinema to support!

- "Please tell Forrest Gump, well, ah, the above has been said, then I will speak, Crab Crab." ”
