Chapter 421: Tokyo Film Festival (Part II)

Opening the ceremony on stage was Edward R. Presman, chairman of the jury of the main competition unit of the Tokyo Film Festival, who is said to be a veteran producer.

However, Gan Jing had not heard his name.

The world is too big, there are too many outstanding people around the world, and Gan Jing doesn't know many people in this venue.

"Eh, Dou Xiao is also there. Gan Jing listened and looked at the people present, especially the Chinese Army.

Looking at it this way, he saw a person he knew - he had seen the actor when he made a cameo in "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree".

Zhou Dongyu glanced sideways, nodded again, and said softly: "Yes, it seems that there is a work exhibited here." ”

"Oh. ”

Dou Xiao is the male protagonist of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", and Zhou Dongyu is the heroine, it stands to reason that the relationship between the two should be good.

The above opening speech continued, and suddenly, the name "Gan Jing" jumped out of Edward's mouth, and the camera also swept here, and the side whispers of him and Zhou Dongyu were suddenly reflected on the big screen.

The teacher was lecturing, and the student was caught whispering below - this is Zhou Dongyu's bad feeling at the moment, but Gan Jing only smiled slightly after noticing this scene, and waved his right hand at the camera generously and said hello.

"I'm glad that there are a lot of excellent films and actors here this year, Forrest Gump, I have contributed to the two screenings of your "Untouchable", and I have a share of the box office results. Edward, the chairman of the jury, said half-jokingly.

Gan Jing didn't have a microphone in his hand, just a standard smile.

Edward's speech was quite warm-hearted, he picked the famous actors present to chat, and officially welcomed many film and television elites present on behalf of the Tokyo Film Festival.

After he finished speaking, the opening film, "The Three Musketeers," a film from the United States, was played.

I feel like watching this film willingly, at least, I didn't fall asleep, um.

After more than two hours, the film was finished, and the opening ceremony of the first day was halfway completed, because there was still a special opening film.

At halftime, Edward, the chairman of the jury of the main competition unit, walked up to Gan Jing's side to say hello, and at this time, Gan Jing realized that Edward's work was basically in Hollywood.

There is a lot of truth between the two people, and now there is a chance to chat, and there may be cooperation in Hollywood in the future - many film festivals provide such opportunities, and everyone flies around on weekdays, and it is very rare to meet and drink tea on weekdays.

Well, Wang Qiang of Hong Kong Anle Film is one, and because of this, Gan Jing feels that he is full of sincerity, not everyone can pull down his face, not to mention that the film company is older than Gan Jing.

At the end of the chat, the Chinese legions in the venue walked around each other, basically talking and laughing.

If you look at it from above, you can see two obvious center points, one is centered on Gan Jing, and the other center point is the heavyweight actor Jackie Chan - the latter is surrounded by more people.

In this film festival, Jackie Chan wrote and directed "Xinhai Revolution" because it was selected as a special opening film to commemorate the centenary of the Xinhai Revolution, so he also came to the scene to do publicity.

Gan Jing went straight to Jackie Chan after chatting with Edward, this was the first time the two met, and he had grown up watching the kung fu superstar's films.

As soon as he walked up, Gan Jing was in slow motion with his sleeves flicked up, and said with a smile: "Meet Brother Jackie Chan." ”

Fan Bingbing, who was not far away, said in his heart: Now this is the state of Forrest Gump who can speak.

Sure enough, Jackie Chan smiled like a chrysanthemum on his face, and hurriedly hugged him: "Gan Jing, amazing! The past two years have been all your news, otherwise, how to say that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, Forrest Gump is better than everyone else." ”

Yo, that's kind of a rhyme.

Gan Jing shook his head and humbled himself: "It's all luck, luck." ”

Jackie Chan patted him on the back and laughed loudly: "It's not good to be too modest, hey, the box office of my recent film is not good, when will I have the opportunity to cooperate and guide me." ”

Although "Xinhai Revolution" was selected as the special opening film of the 24th Tokyo Film Festival, it did not do well at the box office, and it has long been off the assembly line so far, with a box office of 56 million Chinese yuan, and the production cost is said to be more than 100 million.

It can be said that this main theme film is probably one of the most money-losing films in 2011.

However, which actor can say that every film makes money.

"I've wanted to cooperate with Jackie Chan for a long time, and if you have a good script, you must call me. Gan Jing said this, gave up his position, and pointed to Zhou Dongyu behind him, "This is Zhou Dongyu from my studio, please take care of my eldest brother in the future." ”

Jackie Chan glanced at Zhou Dongyu, smiled at her and nodded, but said to Gan Jing: "It must be." Then he stepped sideways, "This is my son's ancestral name, and Forrest Gump will take care of it more in the future." ”

The two looked at each other and laughed in unison.

This is the heart of the poor father, father, parents and uncles in the world, for whom it is hard and sweet.

The two chatted for a while, and then Gan Jing greeted other Chinese actors when he returned to his seat with Zhou Dongyu, including Dou Xiao, Ma Su, Jiang Yiyan, and Chen Yanxi.

These people are not familiar with each other, and it is almost the first time they have met, but they are just greetings, and they have no friendship.

Back in his seat, Gan Jing found that Zhou Dongyu was not in a high mood, and couldn't help but be a little strange: "What's the matter? Your boss personally took you to worship the mountain, and you are still not satisfied?"

"No, it's not. Zhou Dongyu sighed and said, "I feel like I was a failure in front of the camera today." ”

Gan Jing comforted: "It's okay, you get used to failure and failure." ”

The girl rolled her eyes, but her mood changed a little better, forget it, if you fail, you will fail, and if you fail, you will have a boss to carry it, and the contract has been signed for several years, so you are not afraid.

After the meeting, before the start of the second opening film, Jackie Chan took the stage to make a speech.

Soon, Gan Jing saw this film, and then, in the face of Zhou Dongyu's inquiry, he didn't give an evaluation - Jie, the market box office has already given an evaluation, so he doesn't need to insert a knife anymore.

The second film is over, and the opening day of the first day of the festival is officially over.

This night, Gan Jing didn't go to visit those Chinese movie stars, but after chatting with Jackie Chan, he went back to the room to continue to study the script of "Batman 3".

Zhou Dongyu originally wanted to go to a dinner party, but after seeing the boss working so hard, she felt ashamed, so she also went to Forrest Gump's room to the side...... Watch TV.

One reads the script, the other watches TV, and two assistants and stylists discuss the new look, but the room is not lonely, and the taste is quite sour.

In the next two days, each unit of the film festival began to screen the shortlisted films, and Gan Jing also picked a few films while reading the script.

This is another benefit of the film festival for actors.

Do you usually have time to watch big-screen movies?

Even if you watch it, do you have the chance to communicate with the director and leading actor of the film?

Gan Jing still cherishes such an opportunity, Zhou Dongyu, who follows him like a fart, witnesses the boss who switches languages from time to time, English, French or Chinese, and communicates with different film crews, and he has a sense of understanding.

Some people come to the film festival to walk the red carpet, some people come to the film festival to connect, some people come to the film festival to communicate, and some people come to watch Uncle Gan - the film festival is placed there, not leaving, just depending on how everyone chooses and weighs.

After two days, the most eye-catching part of the Tokyo Film Festival has finally arrived.

Awards, awards, awards.

Regardless of the film festival, the award is the most exciting, and the higher the gold content, the more so.

Gan Jing had previously told Zhou Dongyu that he didn't care much about the Tokyo Film Festival trophy, but when it came to the actual award ceremony, he was still a little nervous.

This tension is purely driven by director Olivier and Zhou Dongyu, one is broken next to him, and the other is twisted left and right from time to time, the former is Zhou Dongyu, and the latter is Olivery.

Most of the time after the award, Gan Jing finally couldn't help it.

"Director, do you have skin allergies on your back? I know a good Chinese medicine practitioner, give you acupuncture and moxibustion, and it will be fine soon. Gan Jing whispered angrily.

"Forrest Gump, Forrest Gump, you don't understand. The box office went up, and of course I wanted an award. You are a person who has won the best actor in Cannes, and of course you are relaxed. I'm different. "Olivier is serious.

At this time, a voice came from the stage: "The best film of the 24th Tokyo Film Festival is "Untouchable"! Congratulations to Oliver, congratulations to Eric, congratulations to Gan Jing, congratulations to all the crew members of "Untouchable". ”

Applause rang out, and Olivier froze in place.

Gan Jing stood up with a smile, and was about to leave in front of the camera, as if he was about to go on stage to accept the award, he took two steps and stopped, and smiled at Olivier who was still in a daze: "What's the matter?

Olivier woke up from a dream and jumped up from his seat.

"Won the prize, won the prize. His face was full of excitement.

At this moment, Gan Jing suddenly inexplicably remembered Fan Jin...... Well, there's a subtle sense of similarity.

Olivier got up excitedly and ran to the podium, took the trophy from the hands of judge Fan Bingbing, and delivered a somewhat messy acceptance speech, thanking his family, his companions, feeling respectful, and thanking all the people he could thank.

When he saw him go backstage with the trophy, Gan Jing pondered that he would have to wash his hands before touching his precious trophy.

After the award for Best Picture, it was up to Best Actor, and the big screen began to flash back classic clips of the shortlisted films.

Gan Jing smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his mood was extremely calm, perhaps because Ang Lee's play was aimed at the Oscars, so his state would be like this.

"There are too many shortlisted films, and there are many flashing shots. Taking advantage of the camera to face others, Gan Jing hurriedly took the time to complain to Zhou Dongyu.

"Don't make a fuss. Zhou Dongyu didn't dare to say more, for fear of being captured by the camera again.

Flash, flash, flash, every flash on the screen is a lot of effort on the part of the actors.

Joys and sorrows, joys and sorrows, movies for many people can perform many similar experiences.

Looking at the picture on the screen, Gan Jing's mood was a little solemn, he was respectful of other peers.

"The Best Actor at the 24th Tokyo Film Festival is ......" Edward, the chairman of the jury, took the envelope of the final list and dragged out the syllable, but did not immediately announce it, "We were actually very entangled when we decided to discuss this award, but in the end, it was decided because of the actor's excellent acting skills and the driving force of his companions in the film, as well as the creation of the film space." ”

The audience held their breath as Edward looked around.

"Congratulations, Forrest Gump. ”

Announcing the award in a friend's way, Edward opened the envelope.

Applause rang out again.

At this moment, on the land of Tokyo, no matter what position the actors of the Chinese Army stand, no matter what the mood of the actors from other countries is, they have witnessed another actor trophy of Gan Jing.

Gan Jing exhaled, and Shi Shiran stood up, smiling.

The camera firmly locked on Gan Jing the moment the award was announced, and broadcast his expressions and movements live throughout the process.

first hugged the director, hugged the other protagonist Omar Xi, and then Gan Jing hugged Zhou Dongyu, and then waved politely at the area of the Chinese Legion with the most enthusiastic applause to express his gratitude.

"It's a pleasure to be in this position and to receive this award. Gan Jing stood on the stage and took the actor trophy handed to him by Edward, "When I got the script of "Untouchable", I didn't expect the actor or the box office, but I simply felt that the story was very good and warm. ”

"Of course, the two directors flew from France to Beijing to meet me, and this incident also warmed me. ”

"Perhaps, it was the power of warmth that brought me this trophy. ”

Gan Jing smiled and held up the trophy representing the best actor at the Tokyo Film Festival with his right hand.

Click, freeze the picture.

The media reporters at the scene quickly flew the news back to China.

- SMS: Forrest Gump is crowned emperor in Tokyo!

A later date, a more detailed and specific press release.

- "Forrest Gump made a warm declaration and deservedly became the best actor at the 24th Tokyo Film Festival, and at the same time, his film "Untouchable" won the best picture. There is no doubt that this film is the biggest winner of this year's Tokyo Film Festival. This film, which could not be released in China, has caused a storm around the world in terms of word-of-mouth and box office, but unfortunately, it was not released in the mainland because of import problems. ”

When the text news was released, the pictures of the scene were also published, not only Gan Jing's confident posture of holding the trophy high on the stage, but also his nodding smile, and his perfect reaction to being caught in the audience and Zhou Dongyu whispering.

By the next day, more news had reached the country.

Gan Jing held the trophy and was interviewed by many media.

"Ask me if I'm happy? Of course I'm happy. What's next?"

Many reporters asked a messy question, and Gan Jing needed to distinguish carefully, and after hearing this question, he hesitated for a moment and announced his next goal.

"Oscar, of course. ”

"I hope my third Best Actor trophy is that little golden man. ”
