"Didn't Jensen agree to your request?"

Gan Jing sat in the back seat of the car driving towards the hotel, looking at the shiny head of director Rosie, he always felt that if Rosie made a cameo in the movie, it would be a natural villain with a bad face, a bit like Sun Honglei's screen image.

Rossi didn't know Forrest Gump's slander, but his face was sad: "Jensen has a tough attitude. Of course, I have a lot of trust in Paramount's ability, but the footage of this work is different from the usual sense, and I am afraid that they will use knives. ”

This is the sadness of the little director, even if he directs the movie, the right to edit the film is not in his hands, and it is likely that when it is released, he will see a completely different work from his imagination.

This also has to do with the importance Paramount attaches to the production, and Jensen is the senior vice president in charge of the project.

Well, his current position is roughly the same as Zhang Ziran's status in Bairihong, but he is also a member of Paramount's parent company, Viacom Group, so he still speaks more forcefully.

"I'm afraid, we're going to have to change it. Gan Jing looked at the scenery of Los Angeles outside the car window, but he had a strange feeling that he was still in the capital, "I have already postponed the meeting with Jensen to the day after tomorrow." ”

"Why?" asked Rossi, who had received the news from Forrest Gump for tomorrow's meeting.

Gan Jing turned his head and frowned slightly: "Didn't you pay attention to your competitors? I asked my agent to change his plans, and tomorrow we will watch the screening of another movie "Focus" together. ”

On-demand screening is the early release of films that have not been officially released in individual theaters, in order to test the reaction of the market and the audience's reputation, so as to determine the subsequent film schedule.

Rosie was stunned, he had been so busy lately that he hadn't paid attention to these things.

"There are a lot of competing films, why should you pay attention to this movie?" he was a little puzzled.

Gan Jing turned his face to look at the rapidly backward scenery outside, and explained softly: "Because its subject matter and ours have collided a bit, they are all based on reality, and they take the route of news themes." ”

"Even if the content of the reaction is in a different direction, if the same theme is nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture at the same time, do you think the academy judges will favor a money laundering film or a film that reflects the priest's sex Q children?"

Just hearing the content of the subject, Rossi's heart sank.

If the story level of the two films is placed on the threshold of being shortlisted for the Oscars, then neither the content nor the logic of the film will be too bad, and at that time, it will be more advantageous to be able to impress the judges more from the angle.

The judges of the Oscars have long been counted, even if they continue to recruit new ones in recent years, but the attributes of the basic plate will not be deep-rooted.

So, is there anything more eye-catching for a country where the majority of faith is Catholic than the case of a priest?

Although Rosie was not famous before and was just a small director, he was a professional after all, and he understood the problem just when he heard Forrest Gump's words.

After being silent for a while, he asked a little bitterly, "How is the quality of this film?"

Gan Jing thought for a while and comforted: "I haven't seen it yet, I just heard that I'm not sure yet, I'll see it tomorrow and make a decision." ”

"Ahem, ahem, who are they on the lineup?" Rosie cared.

Gan Jing said like a few treasures: "The director is Thomas McCarthy, not famous, the actor uses Michael, the star of this year's best film "Birdman", and the actress uses Rachel, well, it's the Rachel you imagine." ”

The interior of the car was completely silent.

Rosie silently covered his chest, not mentioning the two famous actors, just the director Thomas, who was evaluated by Forrest Gump as "not famous", he knew and admired.

Actors have a circle of actors, and directors also have a circle of directors, and Thomas is undoubtedly a very talented person.

The car sped all the way and finally arrived at the Hilton Hotel at half past nine in the evening.

Sometimes, Gan Jing thinks about whether he should take the initiative to contact the Hilton brand to endorse them, at least, every time he lives here, the room fee is saved.

Arrived at the hotel, entered the room, and met Andy.

"Dear Forrest Gump, I miss you so much. ”

"Dear Andy, vomit!"

Andy speaks in Chinese, fluently and ...... It is very effective, and Gan Jing also gives the effect.

"Oh, you've seen it, and now it seems that the first sequence we're going to do has changed, it's no longer about fighting for editing rights, it's about thinking about the possibility of competing for the Oscar for Best Picture. Gan Jing motioned for everyone to sit down and talk about business.

Rosie nodded in disappointment.

Compared with the director's frustration, Andy is very normal, he comforted Rosie very gentlemanly first, and then said: "The Oscars are not so easy, and the blockbuster awards in the Oscars are even more difficult." It's normal to encounter problems at any time during the prize rush process. ”

Gan Jingzhi agreed, although he is still very committed to this role, but after all, it is Paramount's custom, and he is more accepting of subjective emotions and looks at problems more rationally.

Director Rosie is different, as a small director, if the film can successfully hit the best picture, then his fame and fortune can jump to a higher level.

Therefore, the sense of disparity on this psychological level is naturally different.

"So far, I've solicited a lot of opinions, and there are similarities between Padana and Spotlight in terms of subject matter. I simulated looking for judges at different levels and did a questionnaire. ”

Andy talked eloquently, and couldn't help but spread his hands when he said this: "Survey sampling, I think it is relatively representative of the Oscar taste." Well, the results are not very optimistic. ”

Rossi had calmed down and quietly waited for the result from Andy's mouth.

"Eighty percent of people are more interested and looking forward to Spotlight. Andy spoke of unfavorable results.

Rossi sighed, "We only got 20% of the votes." ”

Andy shook his head: "We are 15%, and the other 5% are not interested. ”

Rosie: "......"

Gan Jing couldn't help but muttered when he heard this: "Didididi." ”

Andy forcibly comforted again: "In the end, our actions still have to be after watching the content of "Focus", what is on paper is only on paper after all, what if, what if they shoot substandard?"

Both Gan Jing and Rossi nodded slowly.

However, the word "in case" has a magical power, when the word is suffix with a good thing, it doesn't happen, and when a bad thing is affixed with it, it becomes "ten thousand" in turn.

The next day, at half past seven in the evening, the three people who came out of the screening looked at each other, and they all had results in their hearts.

Now, it's up to convince Paramount to change Padana's award targets.
