I want to make headlines

Chapter 543

Are global beacons of democracy racist?

presence.

Whites come first, blacks come second, and others come third. This is the current situation in the United States. As for the rhetoric, of course it is democracy, and of course it is equality. This is political correctness on the surface.

Gan Jing is well aware of these situations, and Andy, the agent, has talked about these things a lot, and he has also experienced some of his own experiences.

If I were replaced by a white person to reach my current level, no, just me when I didn't win the Oscar winner, I am afraid that I would be the best candidate for the male lead in a series of blockbusters.

But at the beginning, the second male lead in "Batman 3" also needed to fight for it. Of course, there was a factor of CAA, but the discrimination caused by skin color was still a factor.

The status of white people in Hollywood is the highest. It itself is a microcosm of America, but it is very glamorous under the camera.

The two problems encountered by the film crew here, Gan Jing felt that they were not big problems for him. Discrimination is based on people, just like Ao Guanhai, presumably few people would look down on him.

Gan Jing stayed at the hotel for the night and had a good rest. The next day, when he was full of energy, he met the crew members, director, assistant director, photographer, art director, actors, prop master...

There are a total of dozens of people who came to the United States, which is relatively small for a crew, mainly because of the cost control factor-the money earned in the United States is fun to spend back home, but it is a bit painful to bring money to the United States to spend up.

Gan Jing spends money extravagantly, and his style has not changed when it extends to the crew, but Lao Chen has a serious chat with him and asks him to follow the budget in the production of the film. After all, the studio's Money and personal money are two different things.

Gan Jing thinks so, so the money spent in the United States is not taken from the studio, and the funds from here are used... Cough, this way, the accounts of Lao Chen's studio will look much better, after all, it is the first time in China As a producer, he himself has a high status, so Gan Jing is really embarrassed to lower his salary.

The crew members were very enthusiastic when they saw Forrest Gump's performance. This enthusiasm was a bit beyond expectations. Gan Jing thought it was the feedback brought about by the treatment, but he vaguely felt that some people looked at him in the wrong way.

Could it be that I didn't have a good rest last night and ruined my glorious image in their minds?

After taking Zhou Shen and the two protagonists out of the house, Gan Jing had time to look at his face in the rearview mirror. He didn't find anything wrong. After thinking about it, it didn't seem like an illusion, so he turned to the back seat. Wu Xibo asked: "I think some people look at me with strange eyes. I haven't made any news recently."

Wu Xibo couldn't help laughing, knowing that it was probably because of the previous rumors, many people said that Forrest Gump was a local boss in Seattle, otherwise why would the police want to sell face, black and white do not distinguish between families.

Seeing Wu Xiubo's strange smile, Tang Wei was also smiling without saying a word, Gan Jing touched his face, really didn't understand what it was.

"You two, I heard from Director Zhou that there is something wrong with the filming these days." Gan Jing no longer entangled with this, but talked about his old profession, "The acting is tasteless, and the two of you are not very good at it." call?"

Wu Xibo immediately became serious: "It's a little bit."

Tang Wei blinked.

This script is a love story. To a certain extent, the CP feeling of the male and female protagonists is a relatively high priority. Although Gan Jing has not acted in this type of film until now, from his point of view, he knows it very well. importance.

In fact, Gan Jing felt that this matter was much more important than the application for filming.

However, from the corner of his eye, he saw Zhou Shen's worried expression, and Gan Jing wisely did not express his feelings.

Today's trip is to the Seattle Police Station. Temporary road closures for filming are not considered a major event, and there is no need to find the municipal department. As for the filming of the Empire State Building, Gan Jing has arranged for local American personnel to communicate.

Soon, arrive at the destination.

It has to be said that this trip really allowed the three people who followed to see A-Gump's status and popularity here.

When Gan Jing walked to the gate of the police station, almost all the policemen ran out, as if they saw China's national treasure, the giant panda.

This year's Oscar's new best actor has been shortlisted for three consecutive years, and both literary and commercial films have achieved good reputation at the box office... In addition, Gan Jing has never been to Seattle, and he rarely participates in activities in the United States on weekdays, so it is particularly novel.

In their eyes, A-Gump is a representative of the yellow race who came from a distant eastern country.

"Hi, Forrest Gump, I like you very much, and so does my daughter."

"Forrest Gump, shall we take a photo together?"

"I saw Forrest Gump alive!"

There is no difference between star chasing and following trends, but when Gan Jing walked into the police inspector's office, he was really surprised, um... There was actually a poster of "Untouchable" on the wall.

No wonder he was so easy to talk on the phone before, no wonder he was so popular at the door just now.

If there is something good on the top, it will be great on the bottom.

Gan Jing rubbed his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, but the black police chief smiled generously and said, "I like your movie very much."

"Thank you." Gan Jing was sitting opposite him, and he caught a glimpse of himself hanging on the wall out of the corner of his eye, feeling a wonderful feeling of warding off evil spirits.

"I heard that you have no new works recently?"

"I heard that you and Warner had a falling out?"

"A while ago, you actually defeated Daniel again. It's incredible!"

From the series of questions from the black police supervisor, it can be seen that he really likes him. Gan Jing felt more relaxed. He caught a glimpse of Zhou Shen's expression on the sofa behind him from the corner of his eye, and knew that he, the director, was also relieved.

In fact, when the four of them walked into the office, it was the three behind them who were the most surprised.

The police chief and A-Gump spoke in English, only Zhou Shen could barely keep up with their speaking speed and slang, Wu Xingbo half understood, Tang Wei didn't understand at all, she just looked at it blankly The poster on the wall completely refreshed the guess about the US police department before coming here.

The atmosphere here... is really mysterious.

After chatting in the office for half an hour, Gan Jing pointed sideways to the back at the last moment, and the superintendent nodded naturally, with no sign of reluctance, and completely gone from the previous formulaic answer of rejecting the crew. .

Gan Jing got up happily to say goodbye, Zhou Shen stood up after him, Wu Xibo and Tang Wei were a bit slower in reacting.

The superintendent shook hands with A-Gump, smiled, and nodded to the three Huaxia people.

After leaving the police station, Zhou Shen confirmed with some disbelief: "Is this done?"

"Yeah." Gan Jing nodded, "Many people here still know me."

The three of you have a close relationship, it's not just that many people know you, it's like America is covered with crowns.

Gan Jing brought these three people here not to let them watch his chatting and laughing, he took two steps forward and said: "Director Zhou, if you are like Li An, many problems you encounter will be solved easily."

"Brother Xibo, Tang Wei, if you two are like me, these are not problems."

Gan Jing pointed to the three people, and then pointed to himself: "The same goes for discrimination, and the more positive and famous people, the better in this respect."

"The Chinese living here are also our compatriots." Gan Jing stretched his arms, "Sometimes it is necessary to set an example to improve the status of the Chinese."

The three of them were silent. This was something they hadn't considered, and it didn't need to be considered before. It seemed that they only needed to target the domestic market.

Wu Xiubo walked for a while, and a sentence jumped out in his heart, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

In other words, if you reach the goal, you will benefit the world at the same time.
