Chapter 901 Success (Two in One)

——"Forrest Gump on Broadway, Oriental Art Blooms"

——"The actor who sings the best in Peking opera, and the best actor in film in Peking opera"

——"So Rich, So Forrest Gump"

—— "The Most Charming Actor in China"

"Global superstar Forrest Gump returned to Hollywood. Unexpectedly, this time he did not return in the form of a movie, but chose an oriental drama art that the public did not expect. This is not the first time that Forrest Gump has appeared on stage Performing oriental drama, he had similar performances in Australia and France in 14 and 15. The audience responded enthusiastically. Although Broadway is the second time in decades to face this oriental art form, the charm of art still travels through Blooming the most moving side in front of the audience across time and space."

"It is reported that in addition to being a well-known actor, A-Gump is also a disciple of the most traditional Peking Opera art in China. Today, this country with a long culture still retains some ancient etiquette of masters and apprentices."

"This undoubtedly adds another layer of mysterious charm to Forrest Gump."

The relevant media in Hollywood in the United States focused on Forrest Gump's professionalism in Peking Opera, and on the Internet level, many people were discussing the differences between Eastern art and Western art.

I have to say that apart from not being able to understand the libretto, not understanding the allusions, and not being able to distinguish the characters, the audience can still hear some good and bad in the emotional changes such as high-pitched, agitated, deep, and desolate in the singing alone.

The so-called art has no country, probably refers to this transmission of understanding.

Gan Jing didn't pay much attention to this kind of after-the-fact feedback, because he couldn't tell how much of it was mixed with transactions, and how much was sincere.

Andy is a neat guy, and he has done a great job of making public opinion.

Three days after his performance on Broadway received good reviews, Gan Jing accepted an interview with Time Magazine in the United States. The content was about the comparison between Eastern and Western art.

Gan Jing couldn't remember whether this was the third or fourth time he was interviewed by this widely watched media. He only knew that the more he accepted the interview, the more he understood that money is really a good thing...

"Forrest Gump, you are the most outstanding Chinese actor in Hollywood, then..."

Gan Jing interrupted the "Time" reporter with a slight wave of his hand, and said with a smile: "Li Xiaolong and Jackie Chan are well-known in the global audience, I should be one of them. Sorry, please continue."

The female reporter flicked her hair, nodded, and asked, "As one of the most outstanding Chinese actors, why did you appear on Broadway on the 23rd? As far as I know, you have reduced your workload in Hollywood." .”

"Hollywood is the most inclusive film and television stage in the world. Compared with everyone's expectations for movies, I think it is very interesting to bring some exchanges of different cultures to the audience." Gan Jing's voice was a little low, and the speed of speech also slowed down , "Peking opera culture is a very charming corner of world culture. As an inheritor of this culture, I think the exchange and collision of different cultures is what I should do."

"Forrest Gump, what do you think of your level of attainment in Peking Opera and acting? If there is an Oscar in Peking Opera, do you think you can win the best actor?" The female reporter asked a question that was not prepared before. Vented.

Gan Jing was taken aback for a moment, thought for a while, and said seriously: "Then I will probably win the title of best actor again, and maybe the queen of best actor. There is an art of cross-dressing in Peking Opera."

The female reporter laughed "hehe", but halfway through the laugh, she found that A-Gump didn't follow suit, and suddenly realized that the other party didn't seem to be joking.

Bingo!

Forrest Gump is so confident!The content of the interview is well written!

The interview from "Time Magazine" lasted for most of the day. At noon, Gan Jing took Yang Aiyan to dinner without hesitation. During the dinner, he and the female reporter named Jenny had an interesting discussion about Oscar The gold content of the best documentary feature film.

Yang Aiyan, who was eating quietly next to her, was very eye-opening. During the interview in the morning, this Jenny never mentioned a single question about the documentary!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Gan Jing sent off the group of reporters from the big newspaper after fulfilling Jenny's private request for a group photo.

"Boss, this reporter is very clear about what we want to do. But why didn't he ask questions?" Yang Aiyan was puzzled. From his appearance on Broadway to now, he found that quite a few people knew what the boss wanted to do, but they just didn't know. speak out.

"Of course I understand. I didn't bring it up because it was unnecessary. The United States still legalizes lobbying, so what's the matter?" Gan Jing sat in front of the camera and reporters for a long time, feeling a little tired , "Everyone says Weinstein is the Oscar pusher, but what happened?"

Yang Aiyan stared wide-eyed: "Then where's your golden man, boss?"

"Of course you won't get it if you don't have public relations. I feel that even if you have public relations, you almost won't get it." Gan Jing said this calmly, "However, public relations are only one of the factors. Every award-winning work must have a bright spot. Yes. Do you think my film is not good?"

"Uh, uh, of course." Yang Aiyan was a little bit broken.

Gan Jing smiled slightly: "The award is just an award, it has a halo, we can use this halo, because it means the recognition of the industry, the recognition of the peers, and the love of the audience, but we don't need to indulge in this halo. It is neither necessary , it's not interesting."

"As long as you win an award, it will be written in history!" Yang Aiyan struggled.

"What's the use of that? After a few years, when someone flips through the list of Oscar winners and glances over the long list of film titles and people's names, what's the point? I'm already dead." After Gan Jing won the award, he really became more and more open. In February 16, he won the documentary award with "Padana" because he cooperated with Paramount and shared the data of the giant in Asia.

Now I am competing for the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature Film in February next year. This is to better promote the art of Peking Opera after returning to China.

The purpose is very strong.

Yang Aiyan's mind was a little muddled. In his heart, the Oscars still had a lot of status, but what the boss said seemed to make sense.

"This issue should be published by the end of the month. It is the last wave of impact on American public opinion. The judges have an impression in their hearts that Peking Opera is the most brilliant oriental drama, and it has a charming charm. According to the current The situation, it should be no problem to be shortlisted. How about you..."

Gan Jing pondered for a while, then said: "It's still the same sentence, how about you, don't take the box office too seriously. Do you know why you can stand beside me now and wait for the result?"

Yang Aiyan asked in a daze: "Why?"

"You're a person, if you talk about director talent, it's just like that. If you talk about camera lens, it's a little better, but it's not necessarily that amazing. In terms of working experience, you have almost no, and your college major is not a first-line class, but the reason why it is you is because Because you have something that is difficult for others to match." Gan Jing elaborated, and said slowly, "You have been filming in the Tan family's Beijing opera for almost two years, and it is very likely that you will not be able to stay for that long if you change someone else. .”

"Even if you stay for so long, you don't necessarily settle down to do what I ask. You are different. You do it, but you still do it very seriously. I appreciate this."

Yang Aiyan's expression froze.

"It's your strength to do one thing for two years with a calm heart. I hope you can keep this patience." Gan Jing took off his suit jacket and changed into pajamas. I'll give you chicken soup for the last time."

Yang Aiyan's eyes were a little red, and he stammered: "I, I, Brother Gan..."

"Okay, you go out. I'm going to take a shower." Gan Jing stretched out his hand to signal the young director to leave.

"Ah? Uh, uh, okay, okay. Brother Gan, take a good rest." Yang Aiyan's train of thought was completely taken away by A-Gump. When he left the room and closed the door gently, he suddenly felt that the plot should not be It unfolded like this.

I will lose about 300 million US dollars for this play!
Brother Gang explained how much he values ​​himself!

I am very inspired and moved!
Then the next thing should be "There is Kong Ming in the lonely, just as there is water in the fish"!

How did it become "You go out, I'm going to take a shower"?
The more Yang Aiyan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his EQ was low. In the situation just now, instead of saying "I will go through fire and water", I should also say "thank you" to the boss.

The young intern director returned to his room and fidgeted, thinking over and over of the series of conversations he had just had with the boss. After hesitating for a long time, he still felt that he should express his gratitude in person.

He washed his face, opened the door and went straight to the boss's apartment upstairs, but just after he got out of the elevator, Yang Aiyan suddenly saw a familiar figure standing outside the boss's room at the corner of the corridor.

Soon, the figure entered the room that opened the door from the inside.

That's Scarlett.

Yang Aiyan turned around silently and went downstairs. As expected of Scarlett, she was a little bit more charming than me. The boss also worked hard. He had just accepted an interview and had to discuss work with Scarlett after taking a shower.

The little director returned to his room with a very tight tone. Even in the video chat with his girlfriend Zhao Ximin, he didn't reveal what he just saw.

It's just that when he went through a routine video with his girlfriend the next day, he saw Zhao Ximin furtively and gossipingly asking on the screen, "Yang Aiyan, did you see anything yesterday?"

"What?" Yang Aiyan was a little dazed, and didn't react right away.

"It's just that someone came in and out of the boss' room?" Zhao Ximin's voice was very low.

Yang Aiyan was shocked, how did his girlfriend know?
Zhao Ximin observed the words and expressions through the video, and couldn't help saying angrily: "Well, Yang Aiyan, I don't dislike you as a small director, but you still hide from me and don't tell the truth!"

Yang Aiyan smiled wryly twice, wondering: "How do you know?"

Zhao Ximin pursed his lips: "This is the keenness that a film and television company employee must have. Do you know why I was in charge of a department of the company in a short period of time?"

"Because this department is newly opened." Yang Aiyan said honestly.

Zhao Ximin was furious: "From now on, children are not allowed to call Yang Ai Zhao!"

Yang Aiyan: "..."

Zhao Ximin took this opportunity to pretend to be angry and vetoed a question that had been hanging around for a long time, and quickly got to the point without giving his boyfriend a chance to refute: "The American paparazzi have all been photographed, and the domestic news spread quickly. In the past two days, There are probably three or four posts on Weibo about the boss."

"It's all gossip news?" Yang Aiyan thought about the scene of Scarlett entering the boss's room yesterday, wondering how the paparazzi caught it.

"No, there is one that the boss got good reviews on Broadway, another one that the domestic Peking opera circle dissatisfied with the boss calling himself a master, one that Guo Degang praised the boss for "the quintessence of Peking opera for more than a hundred years, and one person in Tsing Yi who can hold the sky and the sky." It was the freshest scandal yesterday." Zhao Ximin knew that her boyfriend was a little dazed, so she spared no effort to share the news.

Yang Aiyan chewed on the voice on the phone: "For more than a hundred years, the national quintessence of Peking opera, to save the sky and Qingyi alone? This is a very high evaluation, and it was given when the Beijing opera circle was dissatisfied with the attitude of the boss? Guo Degang and the boss cherish each other?"

"Who knows, anyway, the news is quite hot. Didn't the boss himself claim that there are Oscars in the Beijing opera world, so he can win the best actor and actress? In addition to this wave of announcements from Broadway, and the previous Tan family Peking Opera Club's arrangement of new plays , It's normal to have an attitude to rebound." Zhao Ximin still knows the ins and outs.

Yang Aiyan thought for a while. He had been in the Tan Family Peking Opera Club for a long time, and he had witnessed the current situation of Peking Opera with his own eyes. Although he followed the boss to Broadway in New York to show a lot of public relations, in fact Peking Opera is once again standing on the stage here.

A few days ago, he saw his big brother Tan Shan and his junior sister Tan Shan crying. In comparison, what did the people in the Beijing opera circle in China do?

"Well, those who do things are always criticized by the people who watch the fun." Yang Aiyan sighed, and was about to hang up the video, "I went upstairs to talk to the boss about the upcoming public relations activities, see if I can help busy."

Zhao Ximin nodded on the screen, waved his hand to stop his boyfriend from turning off the video, and said, "Then you stay in the boss's room for a while, and see if the paparazzi scandal is true, and see if Hathaway is It's not really here."

Yang Aiyan nodded subconsciously and agreed, but was soon stunned again.

Paparazzi gossip about Hathaway?No, the one I saw yesterday was obviously Scarlett.

Hehe, this group of paparazzi are really unprofessional, they just mistook the person.

Yang Aiyan sighed inwardly, feeling that the degree of professionalization in Hollywood is not always as in the legend.

Before the video was over, the young director was thinking about the current situation on the way up the elevator. In order to publicize the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature Film, the boss not only stirred up the American side, but also followed the domestic public opinion.

Such public relations should be regarded as a success, right?
I just don't know if I can be shortlisted or if I can get my wish.
