Chapter 754 Reason and Confidence

Gan Jing watched the screening of the competitor's film, and had to admit that "Focus" is indeed capable of winning the Oscar for Best Picture.

Not only is it also considered a niche subject, but more importantly, the quality of the film itself is very good. The realization strategy adopted by the film is very successful. It does not use the sensational methods that many directors like to use at every turn. It is purely an objective presentation of the whole incident. .

"This is really interesting, I didn't expect Thomas to shoot like this."

Back in Hilton's suite that night, the three men who had just watched the movie sat opposite each other, with the aroma of tea and smoke lingering.

"Stop smoking, Rosie, I found that you have a bad mentality, look at Nolan, Spielberg, Cameron, Forrest Gump, you have a good mentality , Doing things is steady." Gan Jing smoked second-hand smoke.

Rossi glanced at Forrest Gump in a daze, wondering if he had heard a hallucination just now.

Gan Jing continued to say bluntly: "Besides, the smoke god is right in front of you, what kind of cigarettes are you smoking?"

Rossi: "???"

This is exactly when the smoke turns into a dragon, and there is no smoke ring in the world.

Director Rossi didn't know the previous story, but Andy, who knew the story, was a non-smoker, so he didn't say anything about the past at this moment, but just took a fake photo of the mobile phone to bring the matter back to business.

Now let's unify the internal opinions.

"This is the questionnaire I simulated. I simply gave the results before. Now you can look at the above data and model analysis. The current Oscar judge data is actually becoming more and more technological." Andy released two documents .

Gan Jing took the information and just flipped through it, then put it aside, while Rossi looked at the data carefully - he didn't want to see the analysis process, he just thought it was very high-level.

Little director, I have never touched this before!
After a while, Rossi stubbed out the cigarette, and the smell of tea gradually faded away.

"I, I think..." Rossi said a few words and then closed her mouth, her face was a little painful. There was once an opportunity in front of me, but now she wants me to...

Gan Jing frowned deeply, he would be a little dissatisfied with Rossi's hesitation, and none of the directors he had worked with was so concerned about gain and loss like this one.

"Don't worry about it. From all aspects, we are not superior. Since the probability is very small, we can compete for another documentary award. It's better for you to win an award than to be empty-handed." Gan Jing was very pleased Said decisively.

"En." Rossi nodded with some difficulty. Everyone understands the truth, but luck cannot be avoided so easily.

Gan Jing just needed a nod from the director. He looked at Andy and asked, "I have never dealt with this senior vice president Jason before. What kind of person is he?"

"His uncle is the chief financial officer of the parent company Viacom, the second-in-command CFO." Andy smiled.

Gan Jing Fu forehead: "Then you and him must have a common language?" He remembered that Andy had a similar relationship in Warner before, but he was able to come up because of the relationship at that time, and now he resigned because of the relationship.

"This is the Jensen information I just got. There are many factors in Paramount's award-winning work for Viacom. It is only natural that he is responsible for connecting with you now." Andy took out another He handed over a document, but this time he didn't give it to Rossi.

How much role can Gan Jing play in a work that is used to compete for awards?
It can be easily judged by looking at the duties that Paramount uses to connect people.

As a Chinese film star, Forrest Gump's performance can be said to have shocked the entire Western entertainment industry. It is different from Chinese actors with oriental beauty and kung fu-of course, it is not that this is not good, but from the level of depicting the emotions of the characters. Generally speaking, Forrest Gump is the most outstanding group of people.

Such a reputation and impression is slowly brewing over time.

In the first half of this year, ABC, one of the three major commercial broadcasting and television companies in the United States, conducted a survey, allowing audiences and fans to vote for the most memorable movie scenes in their minds. Forrest Gump’s performance at the end of "Life of Pi" entered the The top ten finally came under the hug scene of Ruth and Jack in "Titanic".

You know, "Titanic" is a movie from 97, and it has a halo of precipitation for nearly 20 years.

Of course, this survey may not truly reflect Forrest Gump's influence, but it can definitely serve as a powerful footnote.

Rossi may not have a clear understanding of this point, but Andy has always evaluated it, and therefore, he is now the CEO of [Forrest Gump is here].

As for the parties involved, Gan Jing himself also has strong self-confidence.

This kind of self-confidence is accumulated by standing on the podium at different heights.

When he received the Palme d'Or trophy, when he won the statuette trophy, when he personally judged the best film in Cannes, Gan Jing had his own confidence——magic mirror, magic mirror, who is the best actor in the world? actor?
You must have yourself in the answer options, even if it is not the correct answer, but when you want to choose someone else, you must look at A-Gump's name.

This kind of confidence and aura is something Rossi can't understand, and it's also something Jason, the senior vice president of Paramount, didn't expect.

"What? No Best Picture?! Best Documentary?"

Jason heard A-Gump's request, and looked at A-Gump's expression as if he knew this existence for the first time, and confirmed that he was not joking.

"Mr. Jason, don't get excited. I'll ask Andy to present the reasons. He's more organized than me." Gan Jing signaled Andy to tell Jason the organized reasons.

When Andy finished his statement and Jason fell into thinking, Gan Jing spoke again.

"Let the editing of this movie be handed over to Rossi. I have discussed it in detail with him. I believe he can cut out an excellent work."

"What? Want that little director to cut it?" Jason asked again in surprise.

Gan Jing felt that it was the right thing not to bring Rossi here today, otherwise there might be a bloody and five-step scene. Although he is a young director, a young director is also a human being and has dignity.

"Since it is difficult to compete for the best picture, I think Paramount can lower the level of importance. Director Rossi did not have any famous works before, but for this film, I think his thinking is really good. "Gan Jing pointed out the problem.

"No. Even, I mean even, even if it doesn't compete for best picture, this movie won't be edited by Rossi." Jason said heavily.

"Oh? Who is that? Let Spielberg cut it?" Gan Jing sarcastically.

Jason puffed out his chest a little: "It's me."

Gan Jing was stunned.

However, it was not because of Jason's words, but because the long-lost system voice sounded again.
