I want to make headlines

Chapter 484 Support
I spent the whole night playing mahjong, and only spent a few minutes talking about business.

Gan Jing left contact information with several people after a short period of ignorance. He felt that Wu Junru was generous, Liu Dehua was enthusiastic, and Chen Kexin was funny. Of course, these were all first impressions and could not really explain what a person was like.

But in the next few days, he felt that Liu Dehua had seriousness besides enthusiasm.

If the crew of "Chill" does not have a night scene, the day's work will end at about five or six o'clock. The actors get off work, go back, eat, rest, and wait until the series is over, usually at seven or eight o'clock.

This is the time Liu Dehua chose. What he called Gan Jing was not about mahjong or the script, but about supporting the new director.

Gan Jing was a little puzzled, he didn't understand why Hua Zai would tell him this, he felt that even though he made a good first impression on others, shouldn't the relationship between people and relationships be gradual.

"Because on the first night after returning home, I called you to talk about supporting the director. You didn't hesitate, but discussed and offered opinions sincerely. So, I think you are a very good young man." Liu Dehua This reply was given over the phone.

He is a very polite and respectful person. In fact, in terms of Forrest Gump's current works, awards, and box office, his usual temperament would not use a vocabulary full of predecessors like "young boy", but this After chatting for a few days, I feel that A-Gump's temperament is really good, and he speaks a little more casually.

There is nothing to say about Liu Dehua's professional attitude. He has always been highly praised in the industry, and he is also enthusiastic about the film and television industry. Among the rising star directors in Asia, Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" is among them.

This plan has been done for two phases, but it was finally terminated due to funding problems. However, Liu Dehua's enthusiasm for the film and television industry remains undiminished.

He had paid attention to Forrest Gump who had jumped out, not only in the works of the other party, but also in some details that other people didn't care about, such as investment in the film, participation in the Beijing Opera Support Fund, and cooperation with special effects companies. merge.

Before going to Liang Chaowei's house to play mahjong, Liu Dehua also contacted Wang Qiang to learn more about Forrest Gump's investment in "Chill".

It can be said that he knows a lot about A-Gump.

Gan Jing naturally didn't know this, but felt that Hua Tsai was worthy of being a role model in the actor circle.

He has always been someone who gives me face, and I give others face. What Hua Tsai said these days is actually very simple. The core is still to support new directors, but he plans to expand the scope of investment. Currently he is looking for like-minded comrades-in-arms.

To be honest, Gan Jing is not very interested in this project, but when he considers Zhou Shen, a young director signed by the studio, and the difficulty he has encountered recently in changing the script, he suddenly feels that he can try to do it, but the scope is different. different.

Directors are important, and screenwriters should not be underestimated. The scope of support should be increased to support new screenwriters—in China, the status of screenwriters is really not high, but this position is somewhat difficult to quantify.

An example of Gan Jing's deep feelings about this is Lu Wei, the screenwriter of "Farewell My Concubine" who once cooperated with director Chen Kaige. This is also the screenwriter of "To Live", "Red Cliff" and "White Deer Plain". The minimum lower limit.

For example, director Chen Kaige has been slowly declining since his peak work. Gan Jing feels that he just lacks the cooperation with a good screenwriter, and the same is true of the works of director Zhang Yimou. Heroes, which he wrote and directed, are simply unwatchable. .

After making two films, you feel that you can direct and edit, and some even start acting?
Swelling is a disease and needs to be corrected.

Domestic directors are accustomed to transforming from assistant directors or photographers. There are quite a few screenwriters. The famous ones such as Ang Lee, Wong Kar Wai, and Wei Jiahui are habitually more reliable. Professionally, but his first two features were screenplays he wrote himself.

In the phone conversation with Hua Tsai, Gan Jing expressed his importance to screenwriters, thinking that the effect of training and supporting a gold medal screenwriter may even be comparable to that of two directors. After all, as long as the latter produces a successful film, it is easy to follow up When it comes to investment, screenwriters are different.

Liu Dehua said to think carefully.

Gan Jing handed over this matter to Lao Chen after sorting it out a little bit. He agreed in principle to test the waters, and he also thought about it and thought that this matter could be tied to the chariot of Huaxia Special Effects.

——High quality and low price, special effects cooperation designated by new directors.

——Forrest Gump's guidance, special effects discounts.

In this era, special effects will play an increasingly important role, and Gan Jing firmly believes in this trend.

By the end of September, most of the scenes of "Chill" had been completed. It didn't have too many special effects shots, but there were quite a few office shots.

Because of the removal of a director, both Wang Qiang and Gan Jing paid more attention to Liang Lemin, who took on the burden, and even discussed whether it was necessary to change another director.

The reason why this film uses two new directors is to promote them, but it will not sacrifice the film jointly joined by the two film stars in order to promote them.

In short, Liang Lemin withstood the pressure. At the beginning, the shots he shot were reviewed by the producer every day, then there was a two-day review, a four-day review, and then a once-a-week review.

The producer of this film was led by Wang Qiang, and Deng Hanqiang, Ren Yue and other senior producers worked together. The standards are not strict. From time to time, A-Gump would come over to have a glimpse.

Others in the crew were aware of this atmosphere, but they had nothing to say. Only Liang Chaowei complained to Gan Jing after the scene ended one day: "Forrest Gump, this is the strangest crew I have ever encountered in acting. Thanks to you." Thanks."

Hearing these words, Gan Jing thought he was just praising himself, he would rather have a strange atmosphere than the film he participated in would drop to the standard.

September is over, and the shooting progress in October has slowed down again. It is basically in the stage of intensive filming, and the atmosphere of the crew has also picked up. However, Gan Jing will start filming for the upcoming "Fantasy of Pi" at the end of this month. Drifting" platform.

During this time, he communicated with Wang Qiang and director Liang Lemin, and adjusted the filming of the scene.

On October 29th, Ang Lee will fly to the capital, and there will be theater promotions and media interviews.

When Gan Jing was preparing to leave the group for the surprise scene, an overseas phone call came from Anne Hathaway.

It wasn't until he saw this number that he really realized that he was... After returning to China, he didn't think of her at all, as if he hadn't used her at all.
