Chapter 434: A flash of inspiration
There is no specific date for the audition for the role of "Batman 3", and the crew is still in preparation, and Andy gave Forrest Gump a comprehensive and detailed introduction to the situation.
Director Nolan and Warner have always had a good relationship, the first two Batman were directed by him, and the reputation is very good.
starring Christian and Hathaway, the influence on these two is obviously greater than that of Warner.
The rival, Tom Hardy from the UK, is the least threatening – of course, this is based on off-screen factors, and the actor's own skills should not be underestimated.
As for the Warner executives...... Andy is also considered a high-level, he knows that many people have a good relationship with CAA, and their positions are already crooked.
After listening to all this, Gan Jing put them all in his heart for the time being, thinking that the audition would start immediately, only to find that there were still many problems to be solved.
However, before facing the role problem, he needs to attend a wave of Oscars.
At this year's Oscars, "Untouchable" was successfully shortlisted for the Best Foreign Language Film and Best Actor awards, in fact, Gan Jing feels that the soundtrack of this film is the most deserving award.
"There is no rush in the audition, let's use the Oscar to take advantage of the situation. Andy thought about it for a long time, and didn't give a particularly good strategy for the time being, so he was ready to play a card in his hand to test the water.
Gan Jing nodded and asked Andy to send an assistant for him.
Attending a ceremony like the Oscars requires wearing the Givenchy brand, and it would be a waste of time for Andy to do these small things, and there will be a lot of similar things in the United States, so a reliable assistant is still needed.
"No problem, I'll contact some more people when I'm dealing with the Oscars in the next two days, there may be two drinking parties, and you need to play your personality. Andy agreed, thought about it and reminded, "The actor of this Oscar has little hope." ”
"Well, I know. ”
Gan Jing said goodbye to Andy, took a bath in the bathroom, and then took out the script from the suitcase and thought while reading it, CAA is undoubtedly a behemoth, a bit like the Chinese film that China has just faced, but the latter is to suppress foreign films for himself, and the former is to exert pressure from all aspects.
This CAA is a one-stop service.
Turning the page of the script, Gan Jing's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, but he didn't grasp the fleeting thought.
He looked at the English on the script with fixed eyes, frowning bitterly, but he couldn't think of what touched him.
“CAA,CAA,CAA。 ”
Gan Jing lay on the bed in a large shape, staring at the ceiling in a daze, muttering to himself.
What is this kind of brokerage company that provides one-stop service to the crew......
Bingo!
Gan Jing sat up from the bed suddenly, he grabbed the word!
I also have special effects!
According to director Ang Lee, the special effects production of the drama "Life of Pi" can already compete with Hollywood, and Director Li's vision is still very trusting, he is the kind of international director who is familiar with all aspects of Hollywood.
Since he said it, it must be that the level has been reached.
Gan Jing immediately took out his mobile phone and found the director's number and called: "Director Li, has the clip of the Youth School come out?"
"The first cut is fast, and it will take a while for the final film to be completed. Li An smiled, "Why do you suddenly care so much? I didn't care about it before, and I was very calm." ”
Gan Jing groaned, and finally said sincerely: "Director Li, can I use the clip of the Youth School to recruit a special effects production, and I may need you to come and make an endorsement." ”
If it is in China, you only need to know that it is the special effects production company used by Ang Lee to convince most people, but in Hollywood, if you want to participate in the competition, then I am afraid that Ang Lee will have to come out as a guarantor.
After all, a fragment of a video is not the same as a finished movie, and because the production company is another Hollywood giant, Twentieth Century Fox, it is inevitable that the entire film will not be used.
Li An was stunned on the other end of the phone before asking: "You know the level of special effects, do you need me to come out?" He reacted in the next second, "Are you in the United States?"
"Yes, I need special effects to be involved to improve my competitiveness and voice. Gan Jing said, "It's to compete for the role of "Batman 3". ”
Hearing this, Li An immediately decided: "Okay, call me when you need to, I will arrive as soon as possible." ”
Gan Jing originally thought that Director Li would agree, but he didn't expect him to agree so simply, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
However, he didn't say anything sensational on the phone, but just kept this favor in his heart.
Why would he help himself so much?
Chinese filmmakers help Chinese filmmakers, that's probably the case.
It's hard enough to work hard in Hollywood, let alone one of the few yellow-skinned.
After hanging up the phone, Gan Jing thought carefully for a while, Huaxia Special Efficiency provided at least not inferior to Hollywood's special effects production level, but the remuneration was greatly reduced.
This is beneficial to saving the crew's cost budget, and the cost budget is related to the producer and the funder, no matter how you look at it, it is a positive factor, especially for films like "Batman 3", where special effects account for a large proportion.
Gan Jing thought for a while, felt that there was no problem, and immediately called Andy to inform him of the news, but Andy's reaction on the phone was a little strange.
"Well, Huaxia's special effects? Andy's embarrassed tone was full of doubts about the level of Huaxia's special effects production.
Gan Jing just raised Ang Lee's name: "In my previous play, director Ang Lee is very satisfied with the special effects, and we will compete for the best visual at the Oscars." Even if you don't believe me, you should believe Ang Lee's vision. We don't joke about that kind of thing. ”
Andy actually knows these things, but it's a bit difficult to accept, so hesitation.
"Hey, the heroes of the world, only the king and the fuck!" Gan Jing shouted at the phone, "Fuck me!"
"Okay, okay, believe you once, immediately let the Huaxia special effects team come over, take a look at the effect of the work first, if I can, I will show it to others in private first, and then compete with CAA. Andy agreed, but the process was a bit more complicated.
Hanging up the phone, Gan Jing sighed a little, this is really hard work to do something in Hollywood.
calmed down, he notified the Huaxia special effects team by phone, and described the matter, which can be regarded as using his identity to fight for a chance for everyone.
