I want to make headlines

Chapter 219 Discord (Two in One)

Lisa experienced the forced landing incident, witnessed Gan Jing's performance while driving, and developed feelings for him at the critical moment of life and death.

But Gan Jing has never been tempted by this typical American girl, and has already rejected Lisa's confession in terms of attitude and behavior.

This time when they met for dinner, Gan Jing treated her as a friend. Although he still felt a little subtle when eating and chatting, he could clearly feel Lisa's emotional restraint.

It's just... Can she trust her brother like this?
Before Gan Jing didn't know about Lisa's family members, but after listening to her brief talk today, he found out that she has older brothers, younger brothers and younger sisters - her father is a wealthy man with a lot of money, and has been married several times.

Lisa has a good relationship with one of her half-brothers. According to her, this brother named Alan is an excellent professional manager who just intends to leave the current network technology company.

"You first give me Alan's contact information, and then you go back and communicate with him first, and finally I will make an appointment with him to chat." Gan Jing arranged this for the time being.

Talking about work and family, the two had a very relaxed and happy dinner. Before Gan Jing paid the bill and put Lisa in the car, he suddenly remembered a question that he had forgotten to ask.

"Lisa, why did you change your hair color?" She changed from the standard blonde hot girl to black long straight.

The glass of the rear window was lowered, Lisa smiled slightly: "I thought you wouldn't ask." Then she replied, "I heard that oriental men prefer such long hair, it seems to be more ladylike."

She said this sentence in Chinese, and the "Oriental man" in the words naturally refers to Gan Jing in front of her. She didn't name her name, but she seemed affectionate.

At this moment, Gan Jing really felt a little teased, but it just went down quickly like a rising tide.

Looking at the black car going away, Gan Jing frowned, and decided to suspend contacting Lisa's brother Alan, feeling that it was not appropriate to involve work in such an emotion.

As for Lisa...

Gan Jing thought that he should speak more clearly.

……

Gan Jing, who was a little emotionally confused, quickly focused on his work after a night's rest.

He notified Andy of his signing with Disney. Gan Jing felt a little guilty when he said this on the phone, and suddenly felt that he should discuss it with his agent first.

However, Andy has a good attitude and is not unhappy about it. Instead, he is very concerned about Gan Jing's role in Disney.

Dubbing is not a big thing, after all, it is only a part of animation, but it is not a small thing, it will be heard by the audience most intuitively along with the work.

"Forrest Gump, I will discuss this matter with the relevant departments of Disney. Since they value this feature more, they can make more use of it. For example, how about crowding out other dubbing?" Andy found Gan Jing the next day, made such an opinion.

"Ah?" Gan Jing was playing for fun, and the contract he signed was not very binding, so he didn't plan to develop it further.

Andy looked very serious, and stretched out an index finger and said: "Remember the CAA agency I told you about. During this period of time, I encountered a lot of obstacles when contacting the script project. Everyone wants to shoot a good script by themselves. They That kind of bundled advantage is great, especially when it comes to non-superstars, they are very sensible, and they are not greedy when they reach out." His brows were tightly frowned, looking a little annoyed.

Gan Jing didn't understand what was going on. He heard from his manager about CAA, but he had no actual contact with it.

"I'll do this, what do you think about the script?" Andy was talking about the "Crazy Stupid Love" that Gan Jing took away.

"It's okay. It's just that I'm thinking that I'm playing middle-aged men in these few scripts." Gan Jing was a little worried, "Is it to make the image a bit fixed? In fact, I want to try a more authentic performance."

"The types are actually different, it's just the external image..." Andy thought for a while, and felt that it might be a bit narrow to keep playing the old middle-aged route, but it's a waste of Gan Jing's acting skills to be a vase.

Yellow skin can be mixed in Hollywood, there must be outstanding characteristics, the previous two are all winning with kung fu, Gan Jing, by chance, he entered Hollywood with a strange posture, but he performed well at the box office, and his acting skills have been honed by the script And won the best actor in Cannes.

At this age, it can be said that the potential is endless. As for whether he can become a world-renowned star, it depends on the final fate.

Andy patted A-Gump on the shoulder, and said: "I will continue to fight, you should finish this one first. Also, do you have any intentions for "Pounding Heartbeat"? We need to confirm this matter as soon as possible. Your side If not, move on to someone else.”

"What's the budget?" Gan Jing asked.

"This one is relatively simple, and it's a literary one. Well, if it's not that changing the script is boring, I would like you to act in it." Andy felt a little regretful. This kind of youth film can allow Gan Jing to expand his acting career. "The budget is not enough. High, the cost is about 700-800 million US dollars."

"So little?" Gan Jing was surprised, "I don't believe that Warner can't even afford the money." Thousands of billions of dollars of movies have been shot, but this movie with only a few million dollars is not shot by itself?
"It's just a reasonable sharing of risks. Didn't you Huaxia people say it's good, don't put all your eggs in the same basket." Andy smiled slightly, "You are the spare basket."

"Hmm..." Gan Jing thought for a while, and now he plans to invest part of the money in Uber, and keep part of the money in his hand for backup, but Legendary Films said before that it plans to continue filming "The Hangover".

"Half of it. Show me the script again." Gan Jing made another request, "I need a named producer. In terms of pure income, I'm afraid..."

"No problem. I'll bring it to you at night." Andy agreed briskly. He didn't pay much attention to the investment in this project, but it is still good as a relationship resource radiated by Warner. "In addition, the sequel to "The Hangover 2" What are your thoughts on shooting?"

At the beginning, Andy pressured him to maintain the priority investment right for this continuation, but Gan Jing didn't understand, and asked, "What ideas do you need?"

"For example, the publisher?" Andy laughed, "Our Warner's distribution is very good."

"Hmm..." Gan Jing didn't think about this question.

Andy reminded: "I am talking to a film investor as the vice president of the Warner Business Department. Pay attention to your identity. Ah, who is about to become the producer of "Pounding Heart" and the leading actor of "Crazy Stupid Love" Mr Gan!"

Gan Jing was dizzy all of a sudden, and waved his hands again and again: "Let's talk, let's talk."

"Don't, think about our Warner." Andy laughed.

Gan Jing had never seen him like this before, so he said in a daze, "Is this how you treat customers?"

"What kind of look?" Andy smiled unabated.

Gan Jing thought about it for a while, and honestly described his feeling: "It's a bit ostentatious..."

The white elites glared wide-eyed, and Gan Jing responded sincerely.

……

"Crazy Stupid Love" is a comedy romance about how a middle-aged man faces life again after encountering a marital crisis.

There are two important characters in this script, one is the main character Carl, and the other is Jacob - this is a cynical, feminine playboy character.

After reading the script, Gan Jing found that it was difficult to determine which character the audience would have a deeper impression on after the film was shot.

Originally, I wanted to try this playboy role, but the crew project said that facing American audiences, it is more appropriate for such a role to be performed by a white person. They have basically determined that Ryan Gosling will perform this role.

Gan Jing is not familiar with Hollywood characters, there are countless face-blind characters who can drive Chinese people crazy. He got the detailed information from Andy.

This one is not the native American actor he imagined, but someone from Canada next door, and he was nominated for an Oscar winner as early as 06.

Before Gan Jing joined the group, he wanted to play with his seniors to exchange feelings, but he didn't expect that there would be some conflicts as soon as he got in touch.

Out of habit and personality, he joined the group relatively early, and after getting to know a group of staff, he took the script to figure out the characters.

The role he was going to star in was a middle-aged man, a little clumsy in his behavior and not romantic enough-this is one reason why marriages lack passion and fail, but aside from this, this man has a kind of cuteness that is endearing feel.

Such delicate and rich emotions are what Gan Jing is good at. The reason why the crew is willing to let Forrest Gump to play the role is because they have seen the acting skills of this oriental man in "Beautiful Mistakes". Dee's struggle is to make him the protagonist.

"Hey, drama manager, go, get me a bottle of water."

When Gan Jing was reading the script, he was suddenly slapped on the shoulder. He looked up a little annoyed, and saw a white man in a plaid shirt—this is not uncommon, but his own yellow skin is rare.

"Sorry, I'm not a show manager. But I do have water here." The weather in June was a bit hot, so Gan Jing took a few bottles of mineral ice water and put them next to the bench.

The white man in the plaid shirt could reach out to get the mineral water by himself, but he patted Gan Jing on the shoulder for some reason.

"It's really strange." The white man sighed, and instead of taking the water, he just laughed, "Are you that Forrest Gump?"

Gan Jing raised his eyebrows, not liking his frivolous tone, and nodded flatly.

The white man was about 1.8 meters tall, and Gan Jing was sitting, so he deliberately lowered his head and looked down at Gan Jing: "Isn't this place much better than Huaxia?"

Unfriendly, Gan Jing made a judgment in his heart and asked, "Who are you?"

The white man's complacent expression suddenly turned into astonishment. He pointed to himself with his right hand and said incredulously, "You don't know me?"

Gan Jing squinted his eyes again and looked around, guessing in his heart, but he really didn't know where this guy came from before, so he still said: "Carol?" Carlo is another actor who played the role.

"I'm Ryan, I'm Ryan!" Ryan was a little annoyed, he was the senior who played Playboy.

Said to be a senior, he is actually about ten years older than Gan Jing, just this kind of first contact, Gan Jing did not expect him to have such an unexpected feeling.

"Okay, Ryan, Huaxia is great." Gan Jing only answered the last question at this point.

Ryan glared heavily, turned and left.

Gan Jing was somewhat baffled by such unfriendliness, he was sure that he had never come into contact with this person, not to mention that he either went to Europe or returned to China a while ago, so he didn't have time or opportunity.

In any case, the two already knew each other.

"Crazy Stupid Love" is directed by American director Dan Fogelman, and the producer is Siegel David—I heard it is from Warner, but Gan Jing has never seen or heard of it before.

After the simple and direct opening ceremony, the crew started shooting the next day.

"Crack!"

"Crack!!"

"Crack!!!"

In just one morning, the director cut off five shots of Gan Jing, which made Gan Jing confused. He felt that there was nothing wrong with his performance, but even after the cuts, the director didn't elaborate on what was wrong.

Gan Jing couldn't help but feel a little depressed after tossing around until noon.

"Hey, so this is the Best Actor in Cannes." Ryan unknowingly reappeared next to Gan Jing, who was thinking about acting, with a somewhat sarcastic tone.

"Have we met before?" Gan Jing asked directly, and he always felt that something was wrong.

"Obviously not." Ryan still stood condescendingly.

"Then?" Gan Jing was a little confused.

Ryan looked around, moved a little closer, and lowered his voice: "The role of Carl should not be yours!"

Gan Jing suddenly realized.

The competition in Hollywood is very fierce. He has no experience of climbing the bottom here, and under the leadership of Andy, the vice president of the Warner Business Unit, he has invisibly weakened many of these feelings.

At this moment, such a competitive relationship is revealed.

"Your friend?" Gan Jing didn't ask who it was.

Ryan sneered, and said condescendingly: "You should be thankful that we didn't invest too much resources and energy in this drama, otherwise do you think you, yellow-skinned, will always be so lucky?"

Gan Jing looked at him coldly, and suddenly made a grimace: "What can you do to me?"

Ryan was stunned by such a playful expression, and it took a while to react, and he walked away bitterly.

When he was far away, Gan Jing took out his mobile phone and called Andy: "Ryan is from CAA?" He had some guesses about what Ryan just said.

"Yes. Can you handle it?" Andy simply admitted and asked.

"No problem." Gan Jing didn't talk nonsense, and hung up the phone after confirming.

The goal of Andy's group is to overthrow CAA. Gan Jing is relatively indifferent to this, but since they are in the same boat and share common interests, he doesn't mind facing some small challenges.

　The two chapters were published together. I stayed up late at night and coded Chapter 3. It will probably be later.
