The phone number Andy gave was from Columbia Pictures, one of the producers of "Social Network" who had already set up a project, named Walker.

Gan Jing had a relationship before, Walker once appeared in the crew of "2012", and his impression of this foreigner was that kind of happy appearance.

However, Lehehe brings an easy-going feeling to Gan Jing, compared to Andy's coldness, the latter is more reliable.

As soon as he received a call from Gan Jing, Walker immediately congratulated Gan Jing on starring in "2012", which finally reached $750 million at the box office, which is not easy even in Hollywood, and the box office performance in China is good.

No matter how much Gan Jing played a role in it, Columbia's current impression of him is that he has a certain box office appeal in China.

"Mr. Walker, that's all in the past, and we're going to work for new successes now. As for the audition for "The Social Network", when do you think I can give it a try?" Gan Jing exchanged a few polite sentences with him, congratulated each other and went straight to the point.

"Hey, Forrest Gump, what's the ......" Walker said in a calm tone, "This script doesn't suit you very well, but you can audition." ”

"Why isn't it for me?" Gan Jing saw that there was no problem with the audition, and immediately began to ask about the next step.

"The character design does not match, and in addition, "The Social Network" is more filmed as a plot biography, and this style is not quite consistent with yours. So...... If I were you, I could look for other opportunities. Despite the rejection, Walker spoke softly.

In Hollywood, as long as the actor makes the film company make money, as long as the box office does not lose, then the actor can be respected by everyone.

This is especially true for commercial films.

Because the film itself is commercial, the attributes of the actors are more important to the book value.

If "2012" had hit the box office, Walker's phone would have hung up long ago.

"Except for the skin color, the rest should be harmless, my acting skills are fine, and I am willing to try different styles. Gan Jing added, "Even if you have a skin tone, you can adjust it with makeup." ”

In "2012", he has made adjustments in this regard, and the effect is not bad.

"Aha. ”

Walker's aha is a bit intriguing, but he still agreed to Ganjing's audition.

Hanging up the phone, this contact made Gan Jing's original little grasp in his heart even smaller, and the producer Walker seemed to have made up his mind that he was not suitable for the script.

After hesitating for a moment, Gan Jing didn't call Andy, he took the script from the dining table and sat on the edge of the bed and continued to read.

When I saw it halfway, the phone rang, but it was Chen Huihong from China.

"Brother Xun will go to California to attend a brand event in three days, it's no problem for you to entertain you, right?" Lao Chen called over for Zhou Xun's business.

"No problem. ”

"How are you doing in the United States?"

"It didn't go too well, well, it was okay. After all, it was a forced landing in this country from the beginning, and it was much better than that. Gan Jing was quite optimistic and asked, "What about China?"

"It's calm, you've disappeared into the media. These people really know that long-term blackness is also a kind of propaganda. ”

"Well, it's a bit of a pity. Gan Jing said.

As soon as the phone hung up, Andy called in again.

"Forrest Gump, there's good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Andy's voice was slightly rapid, and his mood sounded a little unstable.

"Hey, don't play this trick. In the future, I will listen to all the good news first, so that I can have a good mood to deal with the bad news later. Gan said solemnly.

"The good news is that The Social Network has a high level of importance in Colombia and is likely to be used to challenge for awards. ”

"Bad news, you're even further away from this script. ”

Sure enough, good news is always easy to be buried by bad news, Gan Jing can't cry or laugh, no matter how good "The Social Network" is, he can't act by himself, so what kind of good news is it?

"What awards?" Gan Jing had a guess in his heart, but he still wanted to ask for clarification.

"Of course it's the Oscars, there's no doubt it's the Oscars, and it's only the Oscars. Andy's words were full of affirmation.

Ahh

Do the Oscar judges consider skin color and nationality when voting for selection?

The answer is a resounding yes.

Although the United States claims to be a country of immigrants, racial discrimination is deep.

It's hard enough for a film to hit the Oscars, and it's even harder to convince them to add a Chinese protagonist on this difficulty.

Do they need to take such a risk?

Gan Jing was speechless all of a sudden, he didn't expect that he would need to consider the issue of Oscar.

"That ......" he hesitated in the face of his phone.

"Give it a try, give it a try. In case, it won't be worse than if you're on a plane. Andy didn't back down much, and there was not much hope for "2012" at the beginning, but he mobilized the power of those rescued passengers to pry in.

It's just that this method is indispensable, and the sentiment is a consumable, and the effect will be much worse if you use it once.

"Then you really have to find a way to increase the weight. Gan Jing had a headache and hung up the phone to figure out a strategy.

Last time, in addition to the rescued passengers, the protagonist's own heroic image also played a role, as well as the consideration of the Chinese market.

And this time?

The film is mainly facing the American market, or in other words, facing the group of Oscar judges, the label of its own layer of the Chinese market does not play a role, and the hero image is not a plus......

Thinking about it like this, there is really little hope.

Gan Jing thought about it calmly, since it is difficult for things in the past to form competitiveness, is it useful to sharpen the gun in a short period of time?

One is the character design, and the other is the actors in the film company who don't want to use CAA......

Gan Jing rubbed his head, changed his clothes, took his mobile phone and walked out of the hotel, and then dialed Chen Huihong.

"Lao Chen, is there any way to give me the image of an Internet tycoon in a short period of time?"

Chen Huihong suddenly received a phone call, and when he heard such a topic, he was overjoyed: "It's more difficult for the tycoon, but maybe the tycoon will be successful." I had thought about scarfs and if I had money, I could buy some shares. ”

"Oh. Tycoon. Nothing else than that?"

"Throw money, invest in this today, invest in that tomorrow, hype, won't the image come out? But it may not be of any use to you in the United States, after all, it is too far away. Chen Huihong's mind turned and he knew that Gan Jing had encountered such a problem in the United States.

Gan Jing couldn't help but nodded, feeling a little irritable.

Holding his mobile phone, seeing that it was a good weather to hang out, he reached out and stopped a taxi.

Lao Chen's voice continued to come from the microphone, and Gan Jing sat in the passenger seat and listened quietly.

Because the phone was sandwiched to the side, the taxi driver didn't notice that he was talking.

"Hey, have you heard of Uber?" the taxi driver was a little talking, breaking the atmosphere in the car.

Gan Jing was listening to Lao Chen's voice just now, but he didn't hear the words clearly, so he put the phone down slightly, put his eyes on the taxi driver, and asked, "I'm sorry, what did you say?"

"Uber, Uber, young man, have you heard of it?"
