I'm not just a director

Chapter 106
Jiang Pei'an and the students of Class 96 of Chinese Opera had a fierce fight.

They still had rehearsals in the afternoon, and Jiang Pei'an didn't order drinks, but the atmosphere was always very harmonious.

Whether this group of people made their acting debut early or did not take on the show and concentrated on their studies, they are still young people in their early twenties after all.

Young people are also the easiest to mingle with.

"Director Jiang, tell me about your movie that broke [-] million yuan?"

Dang Hao asked with a smile.

Jiang Pei'an joked:

"Which one are you asking about?"

Everyone was stunned, except for Hu Jing and the girls who knew a little bit about the inside story, everyone else was dumbfounded.

Niu Qingfeng asked tentatively:

"Director Jiang, what do you mean...do you have any other movies worth more than [-] million yuan?"

Jiang Pei'an nodded and said:

"Qin Hao and Jing Jing's "Ghost Story" has also exceeded [-] million."

"Dangdang!"

The bowls and chopsticks made a crisp crashing sound.

There was no sound in the box, a complete silence.

Everyone looked at Jiang Pei'an in disbelief, and then turned their suspicious eyes to Zhang.

Zhang Ziyi wiped her mouth with a napkin, and smiled at Jiang Pei'an:
"According to media reports in the United States, the final global box office of "Ghost Story" is 1.5 million U.S. dollars.

But I think the final box office of "Chain Saw" should exceed it, but because the R-rated movie market is limited, it should not surpass it too much.

I don't know if my analysis is correct, what do you think, Director Jiang? "

After finishing speaking, Zhang Ziyi sighed in her heart, everyone is about the same age, this person in front of him is really strong!
I heard that six big Hollywood players offered him an olive branch at the same time, which is almost unique among the younger generation in China.

He is quite well-known in the international arena, but compared with him, he might not be able to catch up with him.

Zhang Ziyi just returned from abroad with Lao Mouzi some time ago, and "My Father and Mother" won the Berlin Silver Bear Award.

This award gave her a serious international limelight.

She collaborated with Li An on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" which will also be released this year.

It can be said that in the entire 96 acting class, Zhang has a bright future, and at the same time has the most international vision.

But it's just like that... Zhang looked at Hu Jing, who was sitting next to him and looked like a little woman with an adoring face.

Good luck is enviable!
Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:

"Student Zhang's analysis is slightly different from the results obtained by Lions Gate, but the difference is not bad."

Lionsgate's estimate of "Chain Saw" is that the status of an R-rated movie determines its market cap.

But the wonderful plot setting and wonderful reversal make it full of infinite possibilities.

Coupled with the early access to the global market and the fans accumulated by "Ghost Story".

Its final box office will probably stop at $1.7 million.

"Really!"

""Ghost Shadow" is Director Jiang's debut work, right? "Chain Saw" is also the second one. Two consecutive films have broken through [-] million. Director Jiang is so talented!"

"Really amazing!"

Everyone exclaimed.

Especially a group of female students, the eyes looking at Jiang Pei'an almost turned into stars.

Handsome, talented and rich, such a man is simply the best high-quality boyfriend!

Too bad I already have a girlfriend.

Looking at everyone's adoring eyes, Jiang Pei'an felt quite comfortable.

This is the famous 96 performance class of Chinese opera, which can compete with Nortel 96 class.

There are only 17 students in the class, and there are 4 queens and 2 kings.

After viewing, drama, singer and many other awards and hundreds of nominations.

A veritable class of stars.

This feeling of being admired and respected is quite refreshing to be honest.

The chat in the private room was still going on, and the topics might not all revolve around Jiang Pei'an.

After all, they are all college students, and like people in the society, they are overtly and covertly flattering, laughing and drinking, and they can't do it now if they are killed!

As for future generations stepping into society, whether they will maintain themselves after experiencing the darkness of society, that's two things to say...

"Hello motorcycle~"

When everyone was chatting happily, Jiang Pei'an's cell phone rang suddenly.

The hotel box next to the school is not big, and it is a bit crowded with more than ten people.

He originally wanted to go out to answer the phone, but Hu Jing pulled him, indicating that it would be too troublesome for him to go out, so he could answer it in the box.

Seeing Jiang Pei'an had a phone call, the students immediately lowered their voices.

"Pei'an, I'm Han Shanping, congratulations on your second film opening, I should have congratulated you long ago.

I just don’t know the phone number abroad. Now that you’re back in China, when will you take the time to sit down and guide the development of our domestic film industry! "

Han Shanping's hearty laughter came from the phone.

The main feature of mobile phones at this stage is a loud volume, which feels like a copycat phone of later generations.

So Han Shanping's words were heard verbatim by everyone in the box.

Who is Han Shanping?
That is the former director of Beijing Film Studio, now the vice chairman of the giant China Film Group, and one of the speakers.

When they were in class, they mentioned China Film Group more than once, a variable that would change the pattern of China's film industry.

He admired Han Shanping even more.

Now he actually invited Jiang Pei'an to work at China Film Group?
What kind of treatment is this?
I'm afraid director Zhang Yimou won't make Han Shanping say this!
Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:
"Han Dong, your call came just after I returned to China, hehe, you have promoted me in guiding work.

Tomorrow morning, I will go to China Film Group to ask you to learn from you. Do you think this is okay? "

"Hahaha, okay, then I'll wait for you at China Film Group tomorrow, see you soon."

"okay."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Pei'an realized that all eyes in the room were on him.

Dang Hao immediately gave a thumbs up and said:
"Man, if I refuse to accept anyone, I will obey you. You are too good. The chairman of China Film Group even called you personally to ask you to guide the work!"

The rest of the people also smiled and expressed their congratulations.

Everyone was talking and laughing during the meal, Jiang Pei'an went downstairs to pay the bill earlier, bid farewell to class 96 and went back to the villa.

……

In the evening, Hu Jing came over with a small bag in her hand.

"What's in the bag?"

Jiang Pei'an smiled and took the small bag in her hand and asked.

"Knowingly asking."

Hu Jing rolled his eyes at him:
"have you eaten?"

Jiang Pei'an shook his head and said:
"I'm too full at noon, and I'm not hungry yet."

"Director, you always eat irregularly, no matter how busy you are, you have to eat on time."

"it is good."

Hu Jing quickly got busy in the kitchen wearing an apron.

Jiang Pei'an stared at her delicate back.

Hu Jing's waist-to-hip ratio is really amazing, compact, stylish and superior.

Even if you watch it repeatedly, you will still be amazed.

Hu Jing is very thin, but not the morbidly thin female stars of the later generations of entertainment circles, which makes people feel that there is always a sense of skin and bones.

Jiang Pei'an stepped forward and embraced her waist from behind, putting his chin on her shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'm cooking."

"I don't want to eat, can I eat you first..."

……

"Jingjing, can you change into your clothes?"

"What clothes?"

"The maid uniform you brought."

"Okay, okay..."

In the middle of the night, Jiang Pei'an fumbled for a lighter on the bedside table in the dark.

"Tap!"

A crisp voice echoed in the room, and a ray of flames sprang up in the darkness.

The light from the lighter illuminated Hu Jing's blushing little face, which was rosy and plump, and the flames were reflected in her pitch-black eyes.

Jiang Pei'an put his mouth close to the lighter and lit the cigarette.

"Director, would you like to smoke less in the future? It's not good for your health."

Hu Jing put away the lighter, leaned on his chest, and whispered.

"it is good,"

After taking a puff, Jiang Pei'an extinguished the cigarette and said.

"Hey, director, you are so kind."

……

The next morning, Jiang Pei'an first sent Hu Jing to China Opera, and then rushed to China Film Group.

The secretary took Jiang Pei'an directly to Han Shanping's office.

"Pei'an, you can let me wait, sit, and drink tea."

Han Shanping stood up and gave a warm welcome.

"Mr. Han, I have to admit my mistake to you. I didn't report to you as soon as I came back."

Jiang Pei'an took the tea from Han Shanping and joked.

"You, you, don't you mean me? Don't blame me for calling you here in a hurry. Chinese movies can't afford to delay..."

Han Shanping pointed Jiang Pei'an with his finger and said with a sigh.

In the early 2000s, the reform and opening up of film to the society allowed state-owned studios to make films, and social capital could also make films.

This is an opening from the industry to outside the industry, and it is an even more powerful opening, where social forces have gathered.

In the field of film, a new force has been formed to emancipate the mind and productivity.

At the same time, film was designated as an industry, and the reform of the theater chain system was launched to increase the reform of the film industry and expand the scope of reform of the film industry.

This is a very critical year, and the reform of China's film industry really started from this year.
The shouts are earth-shattering, but the career is still standing still, and there are even suspicions of regressing.

The common people just like to watch foreign blockbusters, and the movie "Saving Private Ryan" introduced in 1998 went straight to the box office of more than 200 million.

The blockbuster film that was introduced in the same year was "Titanic".

This result is even more exaggerated. The box office in the mainland directly reached 3.6 million, and the audience lined up to buy tickets.

This film fully demonstrates the top level of Hollywood craftsmanship.

Common people just love to watch such blockbusters.

The release of "Titanic" directly stimulated the Chinese film industry, so they also began to plan to shoot their own "commercial blockbuster".

So Director Chen's "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" set out with hope, as for the result...

Of course, it is not without positive effects. The concept of making "blockbuster movies" in China has been formed.

2000, the first year of the new century, was also the first year of film reform. If there is no turning point, it will really be over.

That's why Han Shanping contacted Jiang Pei'an in such a hurry.
