I want to make headlines

Chapter 921 Rights (Two in One)

How to judge whether an actor is suitable for a role?

Sometimes it is necessary not only to have the impression of word-of-mouth in the past, but also to look at the touching moment.

Gan Jing thinks that Liu Yifei's fixed makeup photo is a bit better than he imagined. The blunt thick eyebrows, wheat-colored skin, high cheekbones, and girlish blush on the cheeks are both heroic and oriental.

Disney's "Mulan" animated live-action movie this time has precedents before. "Frozen", "Sleep Charm", "Beauty and the Beast Live Version", "Magic Cinderella" and other works have good works. box office.

They produced the animated version of "Mulan" in 98. At that time, the global box office reached 3.04 million U.S. dollars, and the total box office of Chinese movies at that time was about 11 billion Chinese dollars.

This re-production of the live-action version of "Mulan" can be regarded as inheriting the tradition.

The mahjong in A-Gump's villa was still clattering, and the dogs in the yard were still thinking about the dog's life from time to time, but Gan Jing started to get busy.

Hundred Days Red and Disney have a good deal of cooperation and cooperation. Gan Jing is willing to invest 4000 million US dollars in this animation film. At the same time, the two parties will carry out cooperation in the animation category in China and Asia.

Disney is of course very happy to expand its influence in China, while Hundred Days Red is planning to lead the backward, just like hiring the winner of the Oscar for Best Visual Effects to join the Huaxia Film and Television Special Effects Company. The localized technology is world-class.

Gan Jing is considering Hundred Days Red to open up an animation department. For the time being, it is not the kind of a lot of episodes. He will slowly animate the first season of the mythological TV series "Saint Lich".

It takes ten years to grow trees, and a hundred years to grow people. For children who can't understand TV dramas, they can start watching animations first. After a little older, these are reserve troops.

Lao Chen felt a little happy that A-Gump thought so much, but it was also proof that the boss had great ambitions.

"Old Chen, have you contacted Liu Yifei?" Gan Jing called his CEO after working for a few days.

"I have already made an appointment to meet and chat the day after tomorrow." Lao Chen reported the situation, "Signing into the company like this, the allocation of resources in the future will be carefully considered."

Gan Jing held his mobile phone in thought, this big production is an opportunity for any actress, and Liu Yifei is no exception, otherwise she would not have contacted her.

However, if the works that Bai Rihong participated in the investment were recommended by himself, it would be a bit too good. What he has always advocated is a win-win situation. This work can be recommended to you, but Bai Rihong also wants those benefits, for example, Capture an actor.

Liu Yifei has maintained a good relationship with Bai Rihong in the past two years. She had a lot of roles in the first season of "Saint Lich", and she also kept appearing in the second season of "Human God World". If nothing else , the role of Nuwa in the next few seasons of mythological TV series will be played by her as a guest.

Because of this, Gan Jing's first reaction after seeing the makeup photos that satisfied him was to ask the company to sign her, in the same way as Huang Bo and Zhou Xun's studio-affiliated model.

Now big actors like to be more active and powerful, but the resources are only those. It’s okay if Hundred Days Red doesn’t participate in the investment. Once they participate in the investment, they must have their own interests.

Of course, the allocation of internal resources in the company after signing is a problem. Actors like Liu Yifei cannot be treated like young actors, and every actor signed in is the object of the attention of outside actors. Everyone will look at the development situation and measure cooperation distance.

Hundred Days Red wants to get better and better, that is to consider all aspects.

"Well, you express your meaning first, and then I will come forward if you need me." Gan Jing said after considering, "You can tell her frankly that the competition for this role is very fierce. Zhang Ziyi's martial arts style is indeed better than hers. It’s even better, and the same is true of the international coffee reputation. Anyway, let’s lower the price first.”

"Don't worry, it won't be messed up." Old Chen agreed wholeheartedly.

After Gan Jing hung up the phone, he organized his speech first, and then dialed Liu Yifei's number.

After watching all the actors' makeup photos, although he had an inclination in his heart, he didn't make a phone call to this group of competitors, and when he received direct or tactful inquiries, he only vaguely expressed that he was still evaluating .

Now, it's time to reply.

"Liu Yifei, you took a good makeup photo, how did you figure it out?" Gan Jing cut to the chase, expressing his surprise.

Liu Yifei has been patient for the past few days without asking about the result, and she is a little nervous about receiving a call from Forrest Gump, not knowing the final result: "Well, Brother Gang, I also think it's pretty good. Actually, I took a group, but you said there are two, so I picked the two that feel the best."

She went on to say: "I like this role very much, so I also used extra care in the preparation. I invited Georgia, a senior Hollywood stylist."

Gan Jing nodded, knowing in his heart that the two photos Liu Yifei sent were actually restorations of the scenes in the animation movie, but it was true that he had a good foundation and found the right experts.

"That's right, you can send the rest of the photos to my mailbox and have a look." Gan Jing paused and said, "You know, I'm just giving Disney a reference. You are fine, when the Disney team comes over, I will recommend a few people who feel good to them."

"Disney requires you to pass both play and English. You can be more specific." Gan Jing said Disney's superficial opinion. They are casting around the world. Of course, there must be clear standards, but in fact it is really useful. People don't necessarily respect these things, otherwise, why would the voice actors be kept.

"Okay, Brother Gang, I will pay more attention. When I hang up the phone, I will send all the makeup photos to your email." Liu Yifei said.

Gan Jing responded, and after thinking about it, he made the call himself, so let me just say it by the way.

"Liu Yifei, I think we have a good time working together on the mythology TV series. Are you interested in joining our Hundred Days Red? Now the domestic one is not only number one, but it is also in the forefront, and there are more international cooperations."

"You know about Lao Chen's meeting, right? This is what he wants to talk about. You can think about it carefully."

Liu Yifei replied with some hesitation: "Okay, Brother Gang, I will consider it."

Gan Jing chatted with her a few more words about "Mulan" before hanging up the phone.

After seeing the makeup photos of the actresses, what he is most satisfied with is the photo of Liu Yifei, but it may not be possible to say that it cannot be replaced. Zhang Ziyi is slightly behind, and Tang Wei is also a little unexpected.

If Liu Yifei didn't agree, Gan Jing would really put pressure on the choice of roles.

He thought for a while with his mobile phone, flipped through the address book and continued to reply to other people - the strength of this kind of reply is not easy to grasp, it must be able to express the meaning without losing face.

It's not easy to politely refuse, but fortunately Gan Jing is a partner who is responsible for the blame. Isn't the group of foreigners in Disney the best blamers?

Gan Jing's careful reply lasted for nearly a day. In the end, after careful consideration, he listed Zhang Ziyi, Tang Wei, and Liu Yifei as candidates for recommendation. Certainly.

After thinking about the role of "Mulan" for another two days, Gan Jing waited for Liu Yifei to make a decision after meeting Lao Chen, and finally put his energy back into "Cold War 2" that he was going to star in.

Hong Kong Anle Films attaches great importance to a series with a good beginning. After carefully setting up the crew, they called the director and assistant director to the capital to give a deduction based on the changes in the script of Forrest Gump and Liang Chaowei. The two leading actors The ability to change scripts is not weak, especially Forrest Gump, who has changed too many scripts since he started his career.

Gan Jing felt a little embarrassed about the director Liang Lemin running across the capital to "listen to teachings". He made himself look like a bully. In fact, he was just giving some opinions to the crew reasonably. Everyone's understanding of themselves is really biased. what.

In early May, the crew of "Cold War 2" was officially completed.

The director Leung Lok-man is the same as the director of the previous work. In addition to the two original big names Forrest Gump and Leung Chiu-wai, the leading actor is Zhou Runfa, who is the Legislative Council member Jian Aowei in the story.

On May [-]rd, the crew held a media meeting in Hong Kong, announcing that the crew was officially starting.

Hong Kong journalists run faster than Western journalists, and the paparazzi among them are even more famous.

At this meet and greet, someone raised a question, why did the film, which is called the last classic Hong Kong film, invite Forrest Gump, an authentic mainlander, to star in it?If so, is it still a Hong Kong film?
Gan Jing answered this question himself.

"The reason why it is called a Hong Kong film is because its story is a traditional Hong Kong police film. But Hong Kong films are almost dead, and there is no need to deny this. Therefore, there is an attempt to break through the traditional police film."

"In addition, I think Hong Kong films need to be tolerant and inclusive in order to have further development. It needs to accommodate good actors. Hong Kong films should have this confidence, instead of hiding aside and muttering, is this actor from Hong Kong? Yes, is that actor from the mainland? Be confident and don't feel inferior."

"I am very confident that I am a good actor, and I hope you will be more confident."

Gan Jing pushed and pushed, and made the reporter who asked the question blush. A-Gump had been tepid in the meeting, why did he react so strongly to his question all of a sudden.

The other reporters took photos and immediately posted news. The reporter who asked the question could only sit silently and sort out his words.

After the media meeting ended, the news really hit soon.

—— "Forrest Gump has a tough attitude and bluntly said that Hong Kong movies are dead"

—— "Mainland Actor in Hong Kong Films"

—— "Who Is Lacking Self-Confidence?" "

Gan Jing was originally sharp because he was touched on the attitudes of different regions, but he really didn't expect the public opinion media in Hong Kong to react so strongly to this. He really felt that there was a bit of a fuss here.

"Forrest Gump, I have admired her name for a long time. It is true that being famous is not as good as meeting him. I like actors who are confident." Zhou Runfa arrived in Hong Kong a little late, so he directly participated in the meeting, which was the first time he met Forrest Gump.

"Brother Fa, I have admired his name for a long time. No, I grew up watching Brother Fa's movies." Gan Jing's attitude towards his seniors was very modest, "I still remember Brother Fa's classic line, 'I waited for three years. Years. I just want to wait for an opportunity! I want to fight not to prove that I am great. I want to tell people that I must get back what I lost!'."

Zhou Runfa laughed loudly, and said happily: "I thought A-Gump would be a very tempered person, but unexpectedly, this is completely different from just now."

Gan Jing pursed his lips and said with a smile: "They are deliberately looking for faults and want me to speak inappropriately. Since they are so provocative, then I will tell the truth. Anyway, it is the truth."

"It's okay for you to tell the truth, you are no longer limited to one place." Zhou Runfa sighed, "Hong Kong movies have indeed passed their golden age, I hope this movie can be as good as it is advertised. At least it’s better on the face.”

Gan Jing smiled and said nothing. He only needs to say once about whether Hong Kong movies are not Hong Kong movies. Talking about this in front of so many Hong Kong actors is just asking for fun.

There are a few big names in the crew, so they don't worry too much about the scribbles in the press releases outside.

On May 2th, "Cold War [-]" was officially launched amidst discussions from the outside world.

However, when the crew went through the first day smoothly, before Gan Jing even started acting, Disney's official "Mulan" casting team arrived in Hong Kong to visit the chairman of Bairihong. Hello.

"Forrest Gump, I'm glad to see you." The gold medal producer Osborn was undoubtedly the most prestigious in the group, and he held Forrest Gump's hand tightly as soon as he met.

"I am also very happy to meet you. I am looking forward to the live-action animation of "Mulan". I want to see how the characters you understand are different from mine."

"If you are willing to have a cameo role in the script, then I can try to suggest to the above that the world-renowned actor Mr. Gan Jing should play Mulan." Osborne is a wonderful person, and what he said just now proved to be true Pay attention to the situation of Forrest Gump.

Whether it was Peking opera or singing before, Forrest Gump's reverse performance was amazing.

However, Gan Jing certainly wouldn't try to snatch the role, he refused with some irony: "Could it be that Disney isn't producing princesses now, but princes instead?"

"Willing to change for Forrest Gump." Osborn has a great say.

Gan Jing smiled and waved his hands, preventing the further progress of the business bragging.

"Before you came, I had already looked at the actors. Personally, I like the three actors here, and I know more or less about them."

Osborn nodded: "Well, we know about this, and this is the investor's right."

It's not the right behavior for famous actors alone, but it's different for investors.
