I want to make headlines

Chapter 442 Cover (Two in One)

The banquet at Vanity Fair is what many people dream of, but for Gan Jing, it is just a place to travel around.

In addition to being kissed by the nervous Hathaway and inexplicably solving a problem during this trip, he made friends with many producers.

Speaking of which, many of the films that Gan Jing participated in have the title of producer.

This kind of title is not random. A lot of the work of a producer is complicated and energy-intensive. Of course, if you have money, you can hang it casually.

Well, Gan Jing is the latter.

The story of the loyal dog Hachiko, beauty and mistakes, untouchable...The cost of these films may be high or low, but the word-of-mouth and box office responses are good, so it is worth noting and paying attention to.

After several glasses of red wine, there is a thick stack of business cards in his pocket, including the seven major Hollywood companies such as Columbia and [-]th Century Fox, as well as small and medium companies such as Lionsgate and Legend, and even some of CAA. Contract producer.

Gan Jing looked at them indifferently, and didn't know whether this was another show of goodwill, or their degree of freedom was really so high.

Or, both?
"Forrest Gump, how did you manage to deal with Hathaway? What is the exchange?" On the way back, Andy and Gan Jing sent the two actresses back to the hotel where they stayed before driving back.

"Well, just chat and look at the moon, I call her Annie, she calls me Forrest Gump, I touch her wine glass, she touches my trophy." Gan Jing still won an award today, of course, The trophy in it is naturally a joke, and that trophy has been placed on Olivier's side.

Generally, multiple trophies can be given to awards such as best film, best foreign language film, and best editing that are attributed to all crew members, but the cost of copying trophies later will be paid by themselves.

Gan Jing has asked to make a copy for himself and take it back for collection.

Andy was a little suspicious, wondering if A-Gump had reached a tacit understanding with Hathaway, it's not like he gave up the child and didn't trap the wolf.

When they arrived at the Hilton, Andy got out of the car. Seeing that A-Gump was clearly distracted, he couldn't help feeling even more worried.

But at this moment, he was not good at probing what to say, and finally after hesitating, he could only pat A-Gump on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "A-Gump, Sezi has a knife on his head, and he insists on the core socialist moral values ​​unwaveringly. "

Gan Jing looked back as if he was looking at an idiot, showing Chiguoguo's contempt, you are the one who let me go, and you are the one who doesn't let me go, what are you doing.

"Let's see our special effects later." Gan Jing said another thing tonight.

Andy nodded, and continued to work without even entering the hotel.

There are still many things to do in these two days, and he needs to work overtime to do it.

Gan Jing entered the hotel, just after taking a hot shower, he received a call from Xiao Yang, a special effects company, who had already come to the United States to take over the big ticket.

Xiao Yang's voice was full of excitement, he never expected to compete for Hollywood's superhero series after taking over the job of Youth Pi. Comparatively speaking, the latter can earn more influence than the former.

Gan Jing chatted with him a few words, on the one hand, to let him not be too happy, and on the other hand, to ask him to prepare everything that can be prepared.

Although he was competing for Ang Lee's film before, Gan Jing felt that this time was easier than last time - after all, he already had a work, and he no longer talked to people with empty teeth, and he had confidence in his heart.

About two hours later, when Gan Jing felt that the wine was getting stronger, his cell phone rang.

Gan Jing was startled suddenly, reached out to grab the phone, and said into the microphone: "It's me, how is it?"

"Huh? Someone has an appointment? Mr. Forrest Gump?" Gan Jing was taken aback when a crisp female voice came to his ears.

"Annie, good evening, well, I have an appointment, it's a bit serious."

"Oh?"

Gan Jing could imagine Hathaway raising her eyebrows.

"It's a pity, I wanted to discuss the script with you." Hathaway smiled, "Then don't bother, next time."

After hanging up the phone, Gan Jing glanced at the time subconsciously. It's almost one o'clock in the morning. Now we are discussing the script?Am I missing something?
Just as he was hesitating to pick up the phone and wanted to call back, the phone rang again.

This time, Gan Jing correctly saw that the above call was from Xiao Yang.

"Forrest Gump, Andy brought three people to make an assessment, we can participate in the competition! He will make suggestions to Warner executives!" Xiao Yang couldn't even hide his excitement on the phone.

Gan Jing was a little frustrated but also very relieved. The level of special effects of Huaxia film and television must develop rapidly in the competition so as not to lag behind the world. 3D movies can be said to be a good opportunity to overtake at a bend.

The film and television industry is a complete system. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for China to compete with the United States, but when it encounters changes, it must firmly grasp it.

For a while, the alcohol completely faded away, and Gan Jing felt a little emotional.

Countless thoughts popped up in his mind, some of which were real, and some seemed to only exist in dreams.

At this moment, it doesn't matter what sons and daughters are gunners!

Forrest Gump never regrets!

A little later, at 01:30 in the morning, Andy's notification was also late.

"Forrest Gump, I have to say that your level of special effects is a bit beyond my expectation. I didn't expect you to be able to surprise you in this aspect without making a sound." Andy was also very happy, he was not at all Unlike Forrest Gump who would worry about his own country's film and television industry system, of course, subconsciously, Hollywood simply cannot surpass it.

"Well, how do you feel about competitiveness?" Gan Jing was more concerned about this matter.

Andy pondered for a while, and said truthfully: "Very competitive."

Even if the current level of Huaxia Film and Television's special effects is not as good as the services provided by CAA, the difference is almost the same. More importantly, the budget here can be much lower.

"Then let's settle everything." Gan Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and then said.

"Well. Take a good rest, and there will be an interview with Time Magazine later." Andy reminded.

After the phone call ended, Gan Jing didn't feel drunk or sleepy at all. He put on a pajamas and walked to the window on the 18th floor of the Hilton. Looking at the flashing neon lights of Los Angeles, he felt proud.

I come, I see, I conquer.

……

"A-Gump, are you satisfied with the current situation?"

"As an actor, I am very motivated to dedicate more works to everyone, so overall it is hard to say I am satisfied. I always feel that I can do better."

"This is actually in line with my impression of the Chinese."

"I don't think it should be labeled. No matter what skin color or nationality, anyone who can go to the top will always have an inner driving force."

"What's your driving force?"

"Time" reporter Mary looked at the oriental man in front of her with great interest. This time, she was in charge of doing an exclusive interview for the cover character.

Forrest Gump, a Chinese actor, has been shortlisted for the Best Actor Oscar for two consecutive years, and has won the Palme d'Or in Cannes. So far, the cumulative box office of the starring roles is close to 20 billion US dollars - this figure can already be selected into the top [-] or even more in the cumulative box office of actors in the world. It's high.

No matter in terms of nominations, awards, or box office, this oriental actor who has only debuted for a few years has already created a miracle, just like the last time he was reported in a weekly magazine to save his life.

Perhaps, this is a man loved by God.

Gan Jing thought for a while under Mary's gaze, and finally gave an answer: "I want to see how far I can go, and I want to make a contribution to China's film industry."

If at the very beginning, he had the idea of ​​using actors and movies to hit the headlines, then this idea has been completed well now.

From the hard work of making news at the beginning, to now being able to make the headlines "come up and do it yourself", this is a process that is considered successful both for myself and for the system.

But people always want to find some meaning of existence for themselves.

Now that you have reached this position and become an actor who can be said to be a big star, then try your best to push yourself and the country's industry forward.

Maybe one day, more yellow skins will be able to stand on the Oscars stage.

Maybe one day, Westerners will fly over to stand at the awards ceremony in China.

There is still a dream, although it is really suffocating sometimes.

"What do you think is the problem with Huaxia movies?" Mary asked a question that was difficult to answer.

As an actor who is already well-known in Hollywood, Gan Jing must be careful when answering this kind of question, otherwise when it is published, he may be attacked by domestic people who eat melons because of inappropriate answers.

"The Chinese movie market is developing at a high speed, and it should become the world's second largest box office by the end of this year." Gan Jing first listed the advantages of China, "In addition, I think there will be a scene where the Chinese market will become the world's largest. ticket warehouse."

He looked into Mary's eyes, nodded confirmingly, and said affirmatively, "Yes, it will surpass the United States."

Mary couldn't help asking, "Why is there such a judgment?"

"Because we have a large number of people." Gan Jing replied bluntly, "The demographic dividend will be reflected in the box office market. Of course, this will not happen immediately, but there will be a process."

Mary was dumbfounded, and asked after a while: "Is it like people predict that China will become the world's largest economy?"

Gan Jing smiled and replied: "This is not my professional part, so I won't answer it. Well...Of course, I personally think so, so don't write this sentence in."

Mary nodded, wrote down this sentence in the interview book, and wrote "must be published" at the back...

"You haven't said anything about the development of Chinese films. As far as I know, not long ago you bombarded the monopoly problem in the film industry in China." Mary threw out an information to guide the topic. She naturally had some questions before the interview. over-understood.

"Well, indeed. Although the Huaxia market will be very dynamic, there will always be problems along the way." Gan Jing looked serious and talked eloquently, "Monopoly is a problem, and the market has not developed in a healthy and benign manner. The film rating system I think it is also debatable, and the distinction between literary films and commercial films should also be a measure that is conducive to promoting film art."

"Of course, these are just some of my personal experiences, which can be considered general." Gan Jing patched it up. Even if he succeeded in Hollywood, he didn't think that he was really better than others.

To use a common phrase in different occasions, my Qing Dynasty has its own... no, Huaxia has its own characteristics and national conditions.

Mary nodded, and faithfully recorded A-Gump's answer.

The interview with "Time" was relatively free, and it had given a general direction before, but the two of them threw away the prepared PR draft while chatting.

After the interview was over, the professionals asked A-Gump to pose for a few more photos, which was regarded as a job completed.

Although Time Magazine has a great reputation, it is just a media in the final analysis, and the content of its work is not much different from other media.

"There's nothing inappropriate, right?" Gan Jing just said when shaking hands with Mary.

"No, very good. The interview was very pleasant. I hope you can bring more film works in the future." Mary said harmlessly.

Gan Jing sent her out, recalled the content of this interview in his mind, and felt that there was nothing too out of the ordinary.

However, after the interview with the person on the cover of "Time Magazine" came out, there were many voices of criticism in China.

"Gan Jing is just an actor. What qualifications does he have to guide China's film industry? Does it swell after winning a few awards abroad? The film industry was built with the sweat and blood of countless seniors!"

"Let's talk about emotion, why are you orgasming?"

"Can't you express your emotions in China? There is no room for him in China, so you have to go abroad to pretend? What's the matter with the lack of freedom of speech in China!"

"According to what you say, Mr. Deng has even appeared in Time Magazine, lol."

"Anyway, I think Forrest Gump being on the cover is a very powerful thing. I don't know why you have such a big reaction. Many of his words are from his own point of view, and they don't represent you."

"What he said when he went abroad represents a part of the Chinese. It's fine to say this kind of thing in his own country. There is no need to go to the United States to spread it. Besides, monopoly is not a monopoly. Has the court ruled?"

"I think the upstairs is pink and black."

Almost immediately after the content of the interview was made public, a lot of gossip jumped out on the Internet, and the media also made different reports and reprints according to their positions.

—— "Forrest Gump Confesses Flaws in Domestic Films"

——"Is the classification system suitable for the current situation of our movies? "

——"Is it blind or optimistic, Gan Jing said that China will surpass the United States to become the world's largest ticket warehouse"

——"Han Sanping was interviewed: the American way is not suitable for China"

——"Smear Chinese movies, Forrest Gump may be banned! "

When Gan Jing saw the domestic reports about him, he was stunned. Why did he discredit Huaxia movies?Why do you still want to block me?This is not allowed to speak?
It's really annoying, I keep thinking about banning me every day, what the hell is going on!
