Chapter 560 Handsome or not

As the chairman of the jury of the main competition unit, Gan Jing's work is going smoothly. Naomi Kawase's dissent is just a small episode, not to mention personal feelings. The work "Straw Shield" has indeed not been appreciated by several judges .

What's more, based on Gan Jing's own movie-watching experience alone, if he were the one to choose the film, he would not let this work be shortlisted at all.

The first jury meeting ended, and among the five films, only "Adele's Life" was unanimously approved by everyone, and the other four were not nominated for awards other than the Palme d'Or.

Gan Jing announced that it was over, and Li An stayed and chatted with him.

"Isn't it too rough to treat Naomi Kawase like this? After all, she is also a judge." Ang Lee supported Forrest Gump at the meeting, but expressed some worries after the meeting. He is quite a gentleman.

"I understand her defense of her own country's films, but she can't do it too much." Gan Jing said indifferently, "It's not just me who doesn't approve, I think the same is true for other people."

"But you were the one to deal with it. I think she might cry because of you in the end." Li An shook his head, worried that Gan Jing's actions as the chairman of the jury would attract bad reviews.

"It's okay. I'm an actor, and ultimately I want the work to speak. Besides, her accent is really heavy."

Li An smiled and said no more. This is the difference between him and young people. Even if he has any opinions, he is more mature and prudent.

The day passed, and after a peaceful day, Gan Jing suddenly received another call from China, but this time his mood was much happier.

"Brother Xun, what have you been up to lately?" This is a call from Young Master Zhou.

"Busy filming, I can't compare to you, Mr. Chairman." Mr. Zhou said lazily.

"It's a pity that brother Xun didn't submit the work, otherwise, with my elder sister's great skill, why would there be an award." Gan Jing praised it with a smile.

Mr. Zhou said angrily, "Can you give me the Palme d'Or?"

"You have to look at the works, but there is no problem with the most youthful vitality award." Gan Jing was not all joking, except for a few important awards in Cannes, other awards are somewhat random, and there are no shortage of temporary awards in previous years awards.

"Your mouth has become sweeter. It seems that you have been educated by women a lot." Mr. Zhou teased.

"Cough, is there any scandal about me in China recently?" Gan Jing asked curiously.

Mr. Zhou snorted: "Seriously, I heard that you are going to be filming recently. I have a good actor who I just worked with. I recommend it to you."

Gan Jing pretended to be shocked: "Who is recommended by my elder sister! It's amazing, it's amazing!"

"Don't put on a show with me." Mr. Zhou said, "I finished a film of Red Sorghum here before, and I worked well with Zhu Yawen in the play. I heard that you are choosing a leading actor in the past two days. At the finale banquet, he Just ask me to tell you."

I just mentioned it to Wang Baojun at the opening, how come Brother Xun in China knows about it now... The news of the entertainment industry spread too fast...

Gan Jing thought for a while and asked, "What kind of friendship? If I strongly recommend it, then I won't think about other people anymore."

"The person is not bad, and the acting skills are not bad. There is nothing messy, and it is not to this point. You can see if it is suitable." Mr. Zhou explained the intensity, although there is cooperation, but the friendship is over. .

"Then I'll ask Lao Chen to contact him. Hey, the filming in a studio like mine won't work." Gan Jing thought for a while, since the insiders knew about the news, but there was no contact with anyone. It can be seen from this , "Wait for my next play, big sister will come and give me a cameo."

"Didn't you say you want to take a break? It's an appointment?"

Gan Jing smiled: "Not sure, but I'll look for a guest star first." He added, "The kind that doesn't need a paycheck."

"Let's talk about it later." Mr. Zhou snorted and hung up the phone.

Hmm...women are duplicity, this free cameo is probably already in hand.

Gan Jing leisurely sent a message to Lao Chen on his mobile phone, searched carefully in his mind, and really didn't have much impression of the actor recommended by brother Xun, but soon, he received a reply from Lao Chen, knowing Simple information for this one.

Last year, Zhu Yawen starred in "Mystery of the Floating City" directed by Lou Ye and was selected as the opening film of "One Kind of Unit" in Cannes, and the evaluation was not bad.

After a while, Gan Jing saw the recent photos of Zhu Yawen's life. He compared the images of this person and Zhang Yi in his mind, and felt that Zhang Yi was more suitable, and the latter had a stronger sense of edges and corners.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, in the afternoon, Gan Jing watched To Qifeng's "Blind Detective", and had a hot chat with Hua Zai. Not Johnnie To's style, but Wei Jiahui's.

How else can we say that Hong Kong is a producer-centered system, and Wei Jiahui is the producer of this film, and his influence is indeed quite large.

After a whole afternoon, Gan Jing became acquainted with these people in Hong Kong a lot, and was also instilled by Hua Tsai in investing in and supporting the film and television juniors.

It was late at night, and after taking a hot bath, Gan Jing received Lao Chen's further information on the two candidate actors from his computer.

He just turned on the computer and had a tendency in his mind. Although Zhang Yi seemed to be more in line with the image, some things outside the field of this person were not too pleasing to the eye.

Sometimes, the job of an actor is really not just to set up an image for fans, some investors and capital will also take this into consideration. If you meet someone like Forrest Gump who is more idealistic, then it is even more important.

Gan Jing crossed Zhang Yi off his shortlist without much thought, but when he was about to call Zhu Yawen to wait for him to return to China for an audition, another strange number called.

A premonition lingered in his mind, and after the connection, the premonition became a reality, but the person who made the call was beyond Gan Jing's expectations.

"Mr. Gan, I heard that you are short of a leading actor in a play. I happen to have a schedule here. Can you try the play?" Hu Ge's voice was quite magnetic.

"Brother Hu, you are welcome." Although Gan Jing has high achievements, his seniority is indeed not high, and he can almost call someone "brother" when he meets anyone, "I am planning to remake a Korean drama called "Only You". My requirement here is not to be too handsome."

"Hmm..." Hu Ge was a little startled, and said, "I just watched this movie, and I'm quite confident."

"The question is whether you are handsome or not, don't you have any idea." Gan Jing said patiently "politely".
