Chapter 356 Concession

It was night, after drinking and eating, Gan Jing knocked on the door of the director's room.

Ding dong, ding dong.

The door opened, and Li An was holding the script in his hand.

"Forrest Gump, what's the matter?"

Gan Jing entered the door, smiled twice, walked into the room and saw a few pages of blueprints on the table, his eyes lit up: "Director, are you drawing a storyboard?"

Ang Lee nodded, he was used to drawing these things himself on key shots.

Gan Jing rubbed his hands together, smiling all over his face: "I can do this too."

Li An was a little surprised. He knew that A-Gump was not a major, and he also knew that he hadn't been in the industry for too long. How could he know something more professional like storyboards?
"Then try it." Li An was noncommittal, planning to take a look.

Pulling up the chair and sitting at the table, Gan Jing took the pencil that Li An had just used, stared at the half-drawn storyboard and thought for a while.

This storyboard only draws half of the protagonist's body, and there is only half a tiger next to it, so the scene is not perfect.

However, Gan Jing was already familiar with the script, so after a moment of pondering, he smiled and said, "This is the scene after the storm between Pi and Tiger."

Li An asked with great interest: "How did you find out?"

"It's all based on intuition." Gan Jing smiled, lowered his head and carefully sketched on the paper with a pencil.

Li An glanced at him, poured two cups of tea and put them on the table without disturbing him.

For a moment, the only sound in the room was the rustling of pencils moving across the paper.

It took about half an hour before Gan Jing finished the other half of the storyboard. He put down the pen, picked up the white paper and looked at the light, and he was quite satisfied.

"Director Li, how do you see the painting?" He handed the blank paper to Li An.

Li An took it, and changed Gan Jing's teacup to hot water first, and then looked at the storyboard picture drawn by the two of them: "Well, it's not bad. It's not bad that an actor can draw at such a level. gone."

Uh...that's really euphemistic.

Gan Jing shrugged: "Director Tsui Hark taught me this, I just learned it not long ago."

"Huh? That's really good. The only movie you have worked with Director Xu is "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate." Li An knew Gan Jing's works, and he didn't think he would know Tsui Hark as Gan Jing before.

In this way, it took such a short time for Gan Jing to learn drawing techniques such as storyboards, and it is quite good to draw at such a level now.

"Hey, thank you for the compliment." Gan Jing showed off his extra abilities in front of the master, his expression calmed down a little, and he said, "Director, during the day you said that you don't need me to substitute the emotions of the second story into the first one." In a story, I don't quite understand."

This is the business of coming to see Li An tonight.

The second story in Boy Pi is a story of drifting and eating people in the sea, and the first story is a story of Pi and a tiger drifting together. The two are completely different, and the emotions that need to be shown are also different.

"Tell me what you think." Ang Lee was very kind when he was not on the set.

"In the first story, it is true that a simpler performance is needed, but if my performance is more complicated and there is a sense of disobedience, the audience will naturally respond one by one when they see the rest." Gan Jing said seriously, "When the time comes That’s when they’ll suddenly realize.”

Li An nodded, then shook his head and said, "But that would be a drama."

"It won't be very good, my acting skills are fine."

Li An sighed lightly, and said seriously: "Forrest Gump, it's not that I don't want your acting skills to be unleashed, but as a director, I already have a comprehensive idea of ​​how to shoot. You should trust me, I need you trust me."

"This kind of scene that has been confirmed before and after will make the audience have an aftertaste." Gan Jing argued, "The film with a long aftertaste is the best."

"But it can be done without sacrificing the smoothness of the film by relying on acting skills. In fact, as long as the narrative behind it is used, the audience will suddenly understand." Ang Lee said calmly.

Gan Jing looked directly at the director, did not speak, and weighed the pros and cons in his heart.

"Forrest Gump, as you said just now, you should trust me. I have confidence in this film." Li An paused, and reminded by the way, "I also have confidence in Huaxia Film and Television Special Effects Company."

As a member of Huaxia Film and Television Special Effects Company, it is more appropriate for Gan Jing to say this sentence. Now Li An is telling A-Gump that this movie is not only his business, but also has a lot of entanglements.

You are the leading actor, you have a high status, and you can even break the contract because you are dissatisfied with your directing method. What about Huaxia Special Effects?

At this moment, the special effects, the director, and the leading actor are all tied to the same chariot, and all of them are honored. It's just to see which side has more glory.

Li An would not be worried if it was another actor who had been famous for a long time, but Gan Jing was young after all, he was afraid that this guy would stop acting on impulse, and it would be very difficult to deal with.

Sure enough, Gan Jing frowned quickly, and understood the meaning of the director's words.

"Forrest Gump, I may be relatively more familiar with Oscar." Ang Lee said after consideration, not wanting to appear too strong, "If this film can produce the effect I want, the Oscar's visual award should be fine. The best picture and best director depends on fate."

"It's not that I'm pessimistic. The competition for the Best Actor award has always been fierce. If our film wins other awards, it will be difficult for us to win the Best Actor for the sake of balance." Li An stated lightly, "According to the script, your own I also know how big its performance space is.”

These are all big truths. Ang Lee has fully stated his attitude, and will not make large-scale revisions to show Forrest Gump's acting skills, nor will he change his directorial thinking.

To go further or to give way, that is the question.

Gan Jing's face was a little cloudy, but he let out a sigh of relief after a while, and confirmed, "Do you think this film can win the Best Visual Effects Award?"

"Huaxia special effects invited people from Hollywood, right? The tiger effect alone is really amazing. I can't guarantee 100% to maintain this level, but it has a very strong competitiveness." Li An Seriously and seriously, these words are true.

Gan Jing stood up and nodded: "Okay, I will do what you want. However, remember that when filming the last segment of dictating the second story, I need a week to find the status, which is what you promised me before .”

Ang Li couldn't help being curious: "What do you want to do? You should have created that kind of scene by hand."

Gan Jing didn't answer immediately, he walked to the door of the room, and the moment he went out to close the door, he said: "I want to leave my smile to the world."

This sentence was endless, Li An didn't understand it, but this communication tonight obviously ended with A-Gump's regress, which is already great.

It seems that he really cares about domestic special effects, well, that's good news.
