Chapter 925 The Fourth Time (Two in One)

Gan Jing always felt that the two variety shows and the invitation of an amateur player were fooling around, and he felt that the style of painting was not right.

However, it seems that others cannot be blamed for some of these factors. Didn't I also have a playful heart when I appeared on the variety show?
The filming continued, and the invitation during the fourth filming came as promised.

For some reason, Gan Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the invitation.

That's right!I'm still that actor Gan Jing!

This time the invitation is from Columbia and Marvel. They plan to create a new superhero, which is currently named Venom, or translated as Poison Demon and Venom.

This character will be an alternative superhero who is both good and evil.

After screening a group of actors, Columbia set its sights on Forrest Gump. Needless to say, this Oscar winner's acting skills are also very popular, especially in China. He is an iconic figure. Moreover, he once starred in hero films One of the villains - Bane who broke the spine of the superhero Batman in "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises".

That time was the first time Forrest Gump appeared in the superhero series, and the follow-up response was not bad.

As a giant film and television company in Hollywood, Columbia is relatively popular with Forrest Gump Road. The reason why it is called a passerby is because it has never had any honeymoon period with Forrest Gump like Warner. The reason why it is better is because A-Gump Gan's first blockbuster was Columbia's post-apocalyptic film 2012.

As a result, Forrest Gump started his career in Hollywood.

This is a kind of incense.

"Andy, what do you think of me playing such a superhero?" Gan Jing discussed this matter with his veteran agent after receiving the invitation.

"I personally think it's good. Although you are focusing on Asia now, Hollywood is still the top place in the world. Marvel's hero films have always been serialized. If you play this character and the evaluation is not too bad, what will happen in the future? In five or even ten years, your influence will not fade." Andy is supportive.

Gan Jing thought for a while, and then asked a question: "Don't you think the name 'Venom' is a bit low? People's superheroes are Spider-Man, Wolverine, Captain America, and Iron Man. When it comes to me, they become A venom..."

Andy never expected that Forrest Gump was in this position, so he could only be silent for a while and reluctantly said: "What kind of title do you want? Maybe you can discuss it with Marvel."

Gan Jing held the phone and continued to think, and when he had an idea, he said, "How about the Poison King?"

Andy: "...let's respect the original, Forrest Gump!"

Gan Jing didn't think this would be a bad change, but he had to accept the fact after he hung up the phone and asked other people. Everyone seemed to think that the venom sounded a little bit better.

That being the case, so be it.

This superhero that is expected to be newly created is not only the cooperation between Marvel and Columbia, but also another giant Sony. They are of course very cautious about the selection of actors, but they are cautious. Here, the prudent multiple considerations seem to be simplified again.

There is no other reason, he is Forrest Gump, he agrees, so what else is there to say?

This tentatively named "Venom: Deadly Guardian" will be the first work of the "Venom Trilogy" in Marvel's plan, and they will continue to make adjustments to the background of the story in the coming time-this is Forrest Gump Acknowledge the changes that joining will bring.

At the same time, after Gan Jing initially agreed, he also put forward the customary condition that Hundred Days Red will participate in the investment and lead the announcement in China. In the previous consideration in Colombia, they preferred the goose factory with greater energy, but , Hundred Days Red is not bad, it is already a mature and top film and television company in China.

The talks between the two parties were relatively smooth, and the investment share of Hundred Days Red was preliminarily calculated, and it would be about a quarter of the investment, roughly 2500 million US dollars.

In other words, the production cost of "Venom" will be controlled at 1 million U.S. dollars, and the profit margin is still relatively good. Moreover, the box office dividend of Hundred Days Red is higher than the investment amount. The calculation method here has to be plus Forrest Gump's salary is paid, and peripheral development is also involved, which is a little more complicated.

Compared with "Mulan", which was also invested in a while ago, the cost of that film is more than doubled, and Bairihong is quite satisfied.

"Forrest Gump, it's only after meeting you that I understand how the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves forward. Congratulations, you won a big series."

When the Hollywood entertainment media first announced that Forrest Gump would star in the hero series, the domestic media quickly caught up with the forwarding, which was more eye-catching than Bai Rihong's other actions.

"It hasn't been finalized yet, and some cooperation is still being discussed. Brother Fa, congratulations are early." Gan Jing expressed modesty to Zhou Runfa's congratulations.

Zhou Runfa patted A-Gump on the shoulder: "Young people are awesome and respectable."

Gan Jing smiled: "It's all pioneered by the seniors."

"Are you sure who the heroine is?" Liang Chaowei came over and asked.

Gan Jing thought for a while and said, "I haven't made a decision yet. The actor they mentioned is Michelle Williams, whom I don't know very well."

Liang Chaowei immediately said, "Is that Michelle who acted in "Brokeback Mountain"?"

"Yes." Gan Jing had already read the information.

"It's quite famous." Liang Chaowei commented, "It's just not as famous as you. Wouldn't it be better to use Hathaway or Scarlett?"

Gan Jing replied quickly: "It is also necessary to control the cost. Besides, neither of them is suitable." Both of them have played roles in other hero series.

Different from before, the role played by Gan Jing is wearing a mask and has very little time to show his face. This is why Columbia and Marvel still chose Forrest Gump first after "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises".

The crew of "Cold War 2" regards the things about Forrest Gump's film appointment as tidbits and talking points, while other related people are very serious about how to get along and even completely determine the desired role.

For example, when I came to Hong Kong Disneyland to play, I learned that Forrest Gump was filming here, so I took advantage of the opportunity to invite him to meet and exchange ideas.

Michelle did just that.

After meeting the Hollywood actress in Mong Kok, Gan Jing found that she was a little different from what he had imagined.

"Huh? Your makeup looks a bit like the character you played in the past?" Gan Jing thought it was very interesting. Famous movie actors usually don't like to be labeled by the characters they played. This one in front of him seems to be different.

Michelle Williams has been out for a long time. She starred in "Brokeback Mountain" and "The Age of Love", but the most well-known one is probably the one "My Week with Monroe". She played Mary Lin Monroe.

"It's a little light, but it's quite obvious, right?" Michelle smiled.

Gan Jing suddenly wanted to discuss her thoughts: "You don't mind being labeled like this? I mean, you have played Marilyn Monroe, but it is not her after all. If people think of her at first sight, Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

"As long as I can attract other people's attention, am I not me?" Michelle blinked her eyes, well, people are different, and the style of blinking is also different.

Gan Jing could see that Michelle was half-acting, and felt a little funny in his heart.

"I don't have any objection to the candidates selected by the crew. Neither the director Ruben nor you have raised any objections." Gan Jing pointed out the key point and said with a little hesitation, "Could it be that there are private rumors that I want to replace you?" Or who on the set?"

Michelle shook her head: "No, I just want to see my partner first, it's just a habit of mine."

Gan Jing seems to believe it or not, it is true that actors have habits, but the crew has not yet been set up, and the approximate time for filming has not even been determined. At this time, you come to see your partner... Is this a habit of collecting stamps?

He had a slightly guessing label in his heart, so he was more cautious in his words and deeds. Well, if he wanted to say, he still prefers Scarlett and Hathaway, not the kind who take off their pants when they are invited.

Of course, they didn't say they were going to take it off, they just repeated their self-awareness.

During the meeting, Gan Jing's speech became more formal, and most of the chats were about his thinking and thoughts on "Venom". This is in Hong Kong, so we can't let the people who learn from the scriptures come here for nothing, and everyone's communication and business skills are not very good.

The time for the dinner was fleeting, and until she was about to leave, Michelle didn't receive any signal from a man. She was a little frustrated, but she also admired this actor who was listed as one of the most charming actors in the East.

"I hope our cooperation will go smoothly in the future. Be careful on the road and drink plenty of hot water."

Gan Jing's farewell words are very domestic. When he said this, he suddenly thought about it. He really didn't know how the United States expressed a similar meaning.

I am going to eat?I'm going to take a shower?Good night?Drink more hot water?
Emmm...

In late June, Zhou Runfa's role in "Cold War 2" was wrapped up, and he, the leading actor, left the group first, leaving Liang Chaowei and Forrest Gump.

In this filming, although Gan Jing didn't feel any acting chemistry with this senior, he could still see his dedication.

I don't know if there is really a change in the atmosphere. Gan Jing always feels that the older generation of actors seems to be more dedicated when filming. Young actors seem to work hard, but they always feel that something is missing.

Gan Jing didn't know that it wasn't about favoring the past and devaluing the present, but when he counted it, he himself was "present".

"Cold War 2" played freely, and seeing that his role was almost done, Gan Jing refocused on other things, "Wolf Warrior 2" started to be announced, and Huang Bo is serious about directing his film "A Good Show", other artists in the company have their own film contracts.

Everything seems to be in order, and there is nothing to worry about.

Gan Jing was quite satisfied with this state after reviewing it. He would rather be an actor than a chairman.

hum, hum, hum.

The phone vibrated after work was over for the day.

"Come to Hong Kong to play, is Mr. Gan willing to play with you?" Scarlett texted.

"Huh? You want to come to Hong Kong?" Gan Jing was a little strange. Her first reaction was that she also wanted to consider the role, but soon she felt wrong. This is the very popular Black Widow.

"Isn't it welcome? Venom doesn't welcome Black Widow?" Scarlett put a red lip emoji after this text message.

Gan Jing silently reviewed it, he really dealt with things too much, and his first reaction to her was to think of something else... It's really inappropriate... But...

"Welcome, of course you are welcome." Gan Jing quickly replied to the text message, "However, I have a question that I have always been curious about."

"Tell me." Scarlett probably didn't take her hands off her phone, and replied in seconds.

"I've heard that women's makeup skills are excellent, and they can be painted in different styles. Can you draw Monroe's makeup style?" Gan Jing pressed his phone, looking forward to it.

The reply was a little slower this time.

buzzing.

"See you the day after tomorrow."

Gan Jing looked at the words on the screen, feeling a little anticipation in his heart. It is more important to go to bed early and get up early, to recharge your batteries and receive friends.

The rain hits the plantains, and the wind blows the fallen leaves.

The weather in Hong Kong in late June suddenly became intense.

……

Beijing International Trade Phase II, Bairihong Film and Television Company.

"Ximin, have you heard about the boss? He's going to play a superhero, the protagonist hero."

"Well, of course I know, and I also know that the company is trying to persuade other companies to fully adopt Huaxia Film and Television Special Effects. Sony and Columbia are not very happy, saying that they are willing to let Huaxiao enter the game at most. Why are you suddenly concerned about this, Director Yang Da , you also want to make a hero blockbuster?" Zhao Ximin, who is now the head of the copyright department, teased his boyfriend.

Director Yang Aiyan, China's newly promoted Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker, whose normal face suddenly darkened a little after hearing this sentence, he hesitated and opened his mouth.

"Ximin, I applied to direct a film independently before, but the company didn't approve it, so I was asked to work as an assistant director in another crew."

Zhao Ximin was keenly aware of the change in his boyfriend's tone, raised his head from the copywriting, carefully scrutinized Yang Aiyan's expression, and asked after a little thought: "Is someone outside inviting you to direct a movie?"

Yang Aiyan is not surprised by her girlfriend's intelligence, and it seems that because of this, she has been promoted very quickly in Bairihong.

"Well, a film company invited me to make an urban romance drama." Yang Aiyan's eyes lit up when he mentioned this, "Although the investment of 5000 million is not too much, it is purely directed by me alone! "

Zhao Ximin pursed his lips slightly, although 5000 million is not too much...

"Director Yang, I don't suggest you to go out and direct a movie independently now." Zhao Ximin adopted a formal title, "Hundred Days Red is not a stingy company, and I believe other people's suggestions are also for your own good."

Yang Aiyan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "I know, they are doing it for my own good. But, but, the opportunity for me to direct independently is now in front of me!"

Zhao Ximin looked at Yang Aiyan's expression, looked at his hopeful eyes, was silent for a while, and gave a double-identity answer.

"If that's your choice, I have reservations."
