I want to make headlines

Chapter 436
——Praise the whole world without persuading it, and the whole world does not give it up without being discouraged. It is determined by the distinction between internal and external, and the debate between honor and disgrace is over.

This sentence was said by Zhuangzi.

Gan Jing roughly explained the meaning, and Andy suddenly understood.

"Hengmei coldly pointed at thousands of men, bowed his head and was willing to be a bully." This is what Andy said in Chinese.

Compared with Zhuangzi's slightly obscure classical Chinese, Andy's words to Lu Xun are easier to understand.

Gan Jing nodded. These two sentences have something in common, but the former is weaker.

"Sure, Forrest Gump, you have a very high level." Andy still had a feeling of ignorance.

Gan Jing replied, "However, I can't do it yet."

"..." Andy complained in his heart, so what to say.

While the two were talking, the crew members of "Untouchable" also arrived, and just as they sat down, director Olivier laughed and patted Forrest Gump on the shoulder.

"I heard that you're not doing well recently." The greeting in the first sentence doesn't quite match the laughing appearance.

"Then you are so happy?" Gan Jing wondered.

"But you look very energetic, so I'm glad my friend didn't get knocked down." Olivier was still smiling.

Andy next to him greeted the crew members, whispered to A-Gump, "I'm going to prepare for the public opinion situation", got up from his seat and left.

Olivier looked at his leaving back and said to A-Gump with a little deep meaning: "You are a good manager."

"I thank you for your compliment on his behalf. But, director, are you well informed?" Gan Jing raised his eyebrows.

"It's actually very simple." Olivier replied very seriously, "Swipe Facebook and Twitter more often, and when we walked this way, we took a big look, this area is so deserted, so we know that what is said above is very correct."

"There is a live broadcast on the red carpet, and there is always a woman stealing the spotlight next to your camera." Olivier asked, "Do you want to win the actor? So many people hate you? It is a good deal to exchange an actor for this situation." what."

Gan Jing shook his head.

If it's an actor, it's really a bargain.

But it's really... a bit difficult to put so much effort into just one character.

This kind of resistance was surprisingly large, and it was indeed somewhat beyond Gan Jing's expectations. Even though Andy had mentioned the situation before, he could accurately understand the feeling of being unable to move an inch when he faced it personally.

First, the popularity of domestic stars on the red carpet was compared with my own indifference, then the host did not ask questions at all, and did not show the camera, and then the Kodak theater tacitly turned a blind eye...

Gan Jing would not believe that this blindness was all due to CAA's ability, but it was precisely because of this that he discovered the situation he was facing with his yellow skin.

If a white person is replaced, any big company should win over immediately instead of waiting and watching.

Gan Jing could clearly feel that even Warner, who signed the contract, had a hesitant wait-and-see feeling, while Andy seemed to be using his own resources.

After thinking about such things for a while, Gan Jing's unhappiness caused by the previous encounters was somewhat reduced.

The number of people in the Kodak Theater gradually increased. He leaned on his chair and squinted slightly, observing secretly.

People often wear masks when they come and go, and they are all stars when talking and laughing.

"Sure enough, I'm not friendly to you." Olivier, who was sitting next to A-Gump, was shocked to see that he didn't come to greet him after such a big meeting. "Shouldn't I be sitting next to you? Sitting on the side is Not better for my directing career."

Gan Jing shrugged and smiled: "Maybe."

"Actually, I'm even more curious about why you didn't join CAA. Warner may not value you much. You definitely can't be the protagonist in this "Batman 3". If you leave Warner, you will lose the role in this film, but you may get more There is a lot. Huaxia has a saying, take a step back and open up the sea and the sky." Olivier did not sit far away, but moved closer, his voice was very sincere.

Nowadays, foreigners can speak Chinese first-hand. Gan Jing was very surprised that Olivier's last sentence was actually in Chinese.

Gan Jing accurately expressed his surprise with his eyes, and then said: "Your final pronunciation is a bit inaccurate. Come on, read it after me, sea, broad, sky, and sky."

Olivier learned it twice, and the pronunciation was very accurate: "The sea and the sky."

"Yes, the singer, Gan Jing." Gan Jing coughed lightly, and sang a cappella, "Forgive me for being unruly, indulgent and loving freedom in this life."

The lyrics were sung in Cantonese, so Olivier, who had just corrected his Mandarin accent, was completely confused.

"Do you understand?" Gan Jing asked with his head tilted.

"No."

"Okay." Gan Jing was there, and he didn't mean to explain at all.

Olivier looked at his posture, thought for a while, and said, "However, I can hear the taste of freedom."

Gan Jing was shocked, is this my pretending or your pretending?
Olivier looked at the expression on his face and laughed. He just pretended that these actors did not do things that would be a win-win situation. It was either Laoshizi art or Laoshizi freedom.

After a few seconds, he stopped laughing, straightened his body, turned completely sideways to face A-Gump, and stretched out his right hand.

Just when Gan Jing was a little confused, he heard the voice of the crew director Olivier Yoyo.

"Forrest Gump, hello, let's get to know each other again." A smile gradually spread on Olivier's face, "I am Olivier Nakash, the contracted director of CAA."

Gan Jing was stunned.

"I sincerely invite you to join CAA. Of course, it's not because of my new status, but because I really think this is a win-win situation. Forrest Gump, don't rush to refuse, I think you may not understand how CAA works, Most of it is an agent, not a manager, and it does not hinder your freedom." Olivier retracted his right hand that was not held by A-Gump in the air, and smiled, "Remember——CAA, Agent."

Agent in English has both the meaning of agency and the meaning of power. This is undoubtedly a pun given by Olivier.

Gan Jing was really shocked this time. He didn't expect that Olivier was also a member of CAA. It sounds like he just joined recently, but I don't know if it was prepared by CAA for him or just a coincidence.

If it's the former... then it's really an extreme effort—or it can be said that it's an extreme effort.

Gan Jing was silent for a while: "I will think about it."

Olivier smiled: "Public is public, private is private. This will not affect our friendship."

"Hey, I didn't expect you to betray the revolution." Gan Jing said something that Olivier didn't understand, shook his head, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Olivier patted him on the shoulder with a smile, then took out his mobile phone and wrote down a sentence in the memo-"Forgive me for my loveless friend".

This is the lyrics that he didn't understand before, he wrote it down and prepared to take it back for analysis by CAA.

Intuitively, this sentence is quite important.

　In the American agent system, managers and agents are different divisions. The former manages more, including artist positioning, styling, public relations, etc., while the latter is looking for job opportunities, providing auditions, and getting film appointments.

　　Agents must hold a certificate to work, and only they can directly contact the provider of job opportunities. Managers must also pass the link of agent, which is protected by law in the United States, and the commission is also different.

　　For example, Lao Chen is like a manager, and Andy is like an agent.
