I want to make headlines

Chapter 181
The name of the script is quite interesting, and the beautiful spelling is intentionally wrong.

Gan Jing breathed a sigh of relief, lay down on the bed and flipped through the script.

It took most of the night to flip through, and he just finished reading the script, and the result was as he expected, these art films always talk about life and death, always talk about homosexuality, and always reveal the depth.

The story takes place in Barcelona, ​​the second largest city in Spain. The protagonist is a local snake who deals with illegal immigrants and smugglers on a daily basis, finding jobs for them and avoiding the police for them. At the same time, he is also a psychic who can communicate with the dead. Following a hospital checkup, he found out that he had only two months to live.

There are two children in the family, and his ex-wife has been drinking and relying on drugs all year round.

He bought heating for the immigrants at the factory with his own money, but a heating accident killed 25 people.

A black friend who sold imitation leather bags for himself was arrested and had to bear the burden of his friend's family.

Cancer brings the shadow of death, and there is not much life left.

The conflict between life and life and death, how to settle down the family, how to face the imminent death, for the protagonist, this is an extremely realistic and painful problem.

After Gan Jing finished reading, he covered the scroll with a long sigh, only hating himself for why he didn’t call off work early today, because he insisted on meeting that Mexican director Inarrituo at that point——reading through the script is too depressing, and it’s not at all the same as what he wanted to give People have different intentions to relax and enjoy themselves.

Really bad luck.

Gan Jing casually left the script on the bedside table, saw that it was already [-]:[-] in the morning, and then turned off the light.

It's just that, after tossing and turning, he didn't feel sleepy at all, and his mind was full of the script and story he had just read.

The tone of the story is very heavy and gloomy, which is a common problem of many art films.

But despite this common problem, the protagonist in this script has to face too many problems—life and death, body and spirit, reality and illusion, death and redemption.

It's sad, but also touching.

more challenging.

There are too many things he wants to express, such as the estrangement of his ex-wife, the generation gap of his daughter, life and death, noble and humble, and the situation of whites, blacks, and Chinese in Barcelona in the script. The protagonist needs to connect these factors.

This is a veritable protagonist, the absolute heart of the film.

For an actor, it's a one-man show, a seductive challenge, and it's just... kind of overwhelming.

Fortunately, Gan Jing can pull it out.

He thought about "Beautiful Mistakes" for a while, and "The Social Network" for a while, and finally pulled himself away from the temptation of acting at six o'clock in the morning, and fell into a deep sleep.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, a piercing ringing woke Gan Jing up from his exhausted sleep.

"Hello..." Gan Jing groped for the location of the phone, yawned and asked in a daze.

"Where is it? Come out?" A textured voice came into Gan Jing's ears clearly.

It took a few seconds for Gan Jing to realize that it was the voice of the eldest sister, Zhou Xun. He briefly passed the name in his mind and asked, "Where are you going?"

Zhou Xun was taken aback: "Didn't we make an appointment for lunch today?"

Slowly waking up from sleep, Gan Jing found that he had forgotten something.

A few days ago, Brother Xun came to the United States for a brand event. He received her and settled her down, and then made an appointment for dinner. But he was busy for a few days in the middle, thinking about the script audition, and stayed up all night last night. forgotten.

Gan Jing was a little embarrassed, quick to wit: "Brother Xun, I read the book all night yesterday, and I have a good script for you to share. Where have you been? I'll pick you up to read the script together!"

"I'm almost at your hotel." The hotel was not far from the two of them, and Zhou Xun was walking on the road.

In foreign countries, she was able to walk on the streets relatively easily. It was a rare time for her to relax. She was in a good mood, but she didn't mind Gan Jing's clumsy excuses.

Hanging up the phone, resisting his exhaustion and getting up from the bed, Gan Jing glanced at his phone, it was only eleven o'clock, and he had slept for more than four hours in a daze.

He looked at the script beside the bed bitterly, Zhou Xun was already waiting in the lobby on the first floor when Gan Jing finished washing.

He hurried downstairs with the script, and he didn't say where else to go, so he took the big star directly to the cafeteria.

"Are you entertaining me like this?" Zhou Xun was dissatisfied, "I was arranged to stay here before, and I didn't see a ghost for a few days. What are you busy with?"

Gan Jing pointed to his dark circles: "I'm not being lazy, look at my dark circles!"

"Where's the book?" Zhou Xun curled his lips in disgust, not quite believing his words.

"Here." Although the script was wonderful, Gan Jing was really not used to such a heavy story, so he handed over the script.

"It's a director from Mexico who is going to Spain to make a movie. He found someone from the United States and identified two Chinese compatriots." Gan Jing suddenly felt very interesting while talking, "Haha. That sounds really funny."

Zhou Xun ignored him, ate a few pieces of fruit, and read the script seriously.

This look lasted for an hour, and when she raised her head again, her eyes were a little complicated.

"This story is not easy to control." This was Zhou Xun's first emotion after reading half of the script.

Gan Jing nodded.

"The setting of the protagonist is brilliant." Zhou Xun pondered for a moment.

Gan Jing continued to nod.

"You don't have the skill to act, I'm not bad." Zhou Xun raised his chin.

Just as Gan Jing was about to nod habitually, he suddenly stopped and glared at Zhou Xun: "Who do you look down on? Why can't I do it? I can't play this?"

"I only watched half of it, it's not aimed at you." Zhou Xun said leisurely, "There are not many people who can play this role well, and the acting skills have to explode. It's really difficult."

Gan Jing didn't reply, of course he knew it was difficult, but it was as unbearable as a foodie looking at a freshly baked roast leg of lamb while typing on the keyboard hungry in the dead of night.

"It's very attractive, but I don't plan to act. I want to audition for a Columbia film "The Social Network." Gan Jing said firmly.

Relatively speaking, Oscar-winning films are more attractive.

At this moment, manager Andy called, asked Gan Jing's location and immediately hung up the phone.

"It's just right, let Andy come over later, let me introduce you, he is also from Warner." Gan Jing said to Zhou Xun very kindly.

"You are really different." Zhou Xun sighed, "Others are doing the domestic market first, but you have really made your way abroad. It's amazing!"

Wei Qi smiled slightly, looking even weirder.

Andy arrived soon, and brought a piece of bad news—"Social Network" had already appointed Jesse Eisenberg as the leading actor, and Gan Jing's campaign could end before it even started. The actors are all out.

After Gan Jing heard the news, he introduced Zhou Xun and Andy to each other without expression, and then he and Brother Xun coincidentally set their eyes on the script by the table.

——Beautiful mistake, beautiful mistake, if you play the role, will it be a beautiful mistake?
