I want to make headlines

Chapter 555
When Jia Zhangke responded, Gan Jing didn't react as expected by the reporters. Instead, he thought it was a little funny.

How many actor trophies has an actor who doesn't understand movies won?

This is simply Director Jia's collective negation of Chinese actors - if he really said that.

Gan Jing smiled meaningfully at the cellphones or cameras of the reporters who were working, and said relaxedly, "Director Jia really said that? Did you take it out of context?"

The reporters kept silent, secretly feeling that Forrest Gump was difficult to deal with.

But at this point, Gan Jing had no choice but to give a response, due to his status, he really had to take precautions in case he suddenly fainted and uttered the truth.

"There are many types of movies. Before you asked me how to watch some so-called banned movies. I think it is necessary to be more tolerant. Seeking common ground while reserving differences is not against harmony in many places. I will wait for Director Jia in Cannes and talk to him about movies." Gan Jing spoke very formally, and his answers were not sharp and angry. Due to the limited time, he could not speak at length like in the exclusive interview.

The reporters took notes one after another, and some people continued to ask: "Forrest Gump, you have recently started working as a producer. What is your attitude towards movies that cannot be released and get box office?"

Gan Jing didn't think too much, and said bluntly: "I'm not short of money. If I can take my fancy, then it's no problem even if I shoot it at home and ask a few good friends to enjoy it together."

All the reporters sighed in unison, this kind of actor who is not short of money...

The reporters besieging the airport managed to catch Forrest Gump. At this moment, they wished they could ask a question for three days and three nights, but the flight here was about to take off, and it was very face-saving that there was no delay. After answering many questions, Gan Jing Haoxuan is to use this to get away.

The reporter is still full of ideas, but he also knows that this interview is enough to increase the click-through rate.

While waiting for the plane to board the plane, Gan Jingnan was patiently curious, and quickly contacted Lao Chen, wondering if Director Jia responded, and whether he was provocative as the reporter said.

As a result, as expected, the director responded, and indeed said that he did not understand movies, but he gave a limited condition.

——Forrest Gump doesn't understand the movie life of our era. Everyone has their own pursuits. I prefer to make some movies of this type.

Roughly so.

When these words reached the mouth of the reporter who relayed them, they were refined, summarized, and the subject, verb and object were slightly adjusted, and a self-confident and provocative statement came to life on paper.

Is part of the truth the truth?

Logically it is not, but in reality it is often used intentionally or unintentionally.

Gan Jing is cautious and sober enough to know the urgency of many media reporters, especially those who work in the entertainment media. His own studio also maintains a communication channel. The secret that an actor has to tell"...

Urine ah urine.

Although Gan Jing had no dealings with Jia Zhangke before, he had heard and understood him somewhat.

In a sense, there is nothing wrong with Director Jia's words. I don't understand the movies of their era, and I haven't even watched the works much.

Such a group of so-called sixth-generation directors in China mostly grew up during the period of reform and opening up, so they have the characteristics of that era.

Confusion, independence, doubt, cutting-edge, resistance.

Most people are hard to go beyond the times, and this group of people is nothing more than that in Gan Jing's view. Scar movies and reality movies have been wandering outside the system for a long time, and they still seem out of place even in this era.

A simple sound of long live is obviously not good, but being out of place is undoubtedly a bit painful for an individual.

Gan Jing didn't know whether Jia Zhangke, who often didn't see his own films released, would be in pain. He only knew that Lu Xuechang, who was once the sixth generation director, had passed away, Zhang Yuan was arrested for taking drugs, and Wang Quanan, who made "White Deer Plain", went to prostitutes and became a joke. .

Relatively speaking, Jia Zhangke, whose works have always focused on the bottom of society, is relatively good among this group of directors.

Out of his own considerations, Gan Jing felt that he could help the director, and it was not just a verbal understanding and tolerance, but this kind of help also depends on the attitude of the other party. attitude, he didn't feel the need for it.

The flight was from the capital to Paris, and Gan Jing did not rush to Cannes immediately. He invited the other eight judges here.

There are nine judges in Cannes this year, and Gan Jing is the chairman of the jury. Apart from Ang Lee, who has just had a good cooperation with him, he is familiar with Nicole Kidman and Christoph Waltz.

The former is an Oscar queen, and the latter, like himself, was on the Oscars stage this year and won the best supporting role——At that time, Director Ang Lee also commented on this golden supporting role.

In addition, Gan Jing also had a few phone calls with Lynn Ramsey, a British female director. She was introduced by Ken Roach, who is known as the "conscience of British movies", and the atmosphere of the conversation was not bad.

Perhaps out of instinct, Gan Jing was thinking about the jury's affairs all the way. The style of the past jury chairman was different. He didn't pursue any dictatorship, but he didn't want what he said to be of little weight.

Doing the math now, Ang Lee, Nicole, Waltz, Lynn, and myself, there are five votes, which should be said to be able to influence and even determine the awards of the main competition unit.

The dinner invited by Paris was quite a success, only two of them couldn't make it in time, and they will fly directly to Cannes in two days.

Gan Jing met Ang Lee in France this time, and the two had different feelings. This was their second collaboration, but the battlefield changed from the Oscars to the Cannes Film Festival, and they were sitting on the judging panel.

"I heard that the media has rated our jury as the strongest jury in recent years, but..." Ang Li smiled when chatting at night.

"It's really strong. The jury must have six Oscar statuettes and two Cannes Golden Palms." Gan Jing has noticed this. This year's Hollywood stars account for a relatively high proportion. The nine judges are all actors and directors. .

Li An laughed: "It's just that the media thinks it's inappropriate for you to be the chairman."

Gan Jing gave him a sideways glance: "Yes, yes, the chairman is suitable for you, a great director."

"That's not what I said."

Both of them smiled.

After a while, Gan Jing's heart suddenly moved: "Director Li, I have a notebook here, can you help me take pictures?"

"What?" Li An took a sip of tea and said indifferently, "My schedule is very tight, and the price is quite expensive."

""Only You", a romance movie."
