I'm not just a director

Chapter 11 I saw a star!
In Beijing in 1999, the streets were bustling with bicycles.

Jiang Pei'an finally arrived in the capital after a thirteen-hour train ride.

Coming out of the West Station, various snacks are sold at the door, and people are dressed plainly.

Occasionally, there are one or two fashionable dresses, in Jiang Pei'an's eyes, there is a kind of retro look for later generations.

Fashion is indeed a circle.

Since he left on a temporary basis, Jiang Pei'an didn't bring any luggage, and walked like a tourist in the streets of Beijing in the late 90s.

"Soy juice, Jiao Quaner, hehe, see if I can eat it or not."

Looking at the special food on the street, Jiang Pei'an thought of the Beijing food blogger who would blow up the short video circle platform in later generations.

"That's called an authentic..."

Plus a 360-degree single-arm giant swing.

Jiang Pei'an went to a canteen, took out Qi Yuefei's tablet, and borrowed a public phone to call.

In 1999, Motorola released the first full Chinese mobile phone.

The kind with a flip cover on the butt that covers the entire keyboard, leaving only the display screen.

After waiting for a while, there was a voice over there.

"Hello."

"Hello Mr. Qi, I'm Jiang Pei'an, I personally recorded a Quyi TV series..."

Qi Yuefei seemed to be in a hurry, so he interrupted Jiang Pei'an and said:
"I know you. People in the company have told me that I am in the capital. I will contact you when I return to Xinyang. First..."

"President Qi, I am in the capital right now."

Knowing that Qi Yuefei was busy, Jiang Pei'an directly stated his location.

"You came to the capital? How about it... You take the video tape and come directly to the Starbucks in the International Trade Center. I have something to do here."

Finally, he added:
"Do you know how to get there?"

Jiang Pei'an settled in the capital in his last life, so of course he knew what he was talking about.

"I know, just wait a moment."

……

When Jiang Pei'an arrived, the street was crowded with people, especially lively.

Looking at the head logo of the white-haired girl, Jiang Pei'an was a little bit jealous.

He has no prejudice against drinking coffee, but he really doesn't like this brand too much.

In January 1999, Starbucks opened its first store in Beijing International Trade Center, which is also the first store in Mainland China.

It then opened another branch in the Forbidden City.

In 2007, because of an article, Starbucks in the Forbidden City was known to all.

Under the pressure of public opinion, Starbucks withdrew from the Forbidden City.

This is the famous "Starbucks launched the Forbidden City" event.

Frankly speaking, it is not appropriate for Starbucks to open in the Forbidden City, let alone some things that happened to this product in later generations...

It was the afternoon, and Starbucks was a foreign thing. When Jiang Pei'an just entered the door, he found Qi Yuefei, who was tall and burly.

At this time, Lao Qi was more than 20 years younger, tall, with a hearty voice, and he looked like a successful person.

At this time, he was looking down at the DV in front of him, which was playing something.

"Mr. Qi, hello, I'm Jiang Pei'an."

Jiang Pei'an stepped forward to say hello.

Qi Yuefei raised his head and looked at Jiang Pei'an suspiciously, before reacting immediately:
"So fast? Sit down first and say, hehe, this is not the first time for the young man to come to the capital, right? He came very quickly."

Qi Yuefei took out a cigarette and handed it to Jiang Pei'an.

Although there was a no-smoking sign on the wall, he turned a blind eye to it and smoked leisurely.

"Hehe, it's my first time here, and it's easier to find Lushun in the capital."

Jiang Pei'an put away his cigarette and said with a smile.

"It's hard to find, I lost my way the first time I came here, and no one wants to come to this place in the capital.

In fact, after arriving, it is not the case. "

Qi Yuefei shook his head and said.

He is familiar with him, and his speech is jumpy. Jiang Pei'an has learned from him in his previous life.

At this time, a man came from the direction of the bathroom.

He was taller, with conspicuously long hair, and he had the air of an artist.

Jiang Pei'an took a closer look, good guy, this is not the red-haired ghost Liu Tang!

The person who came was Tai Zuhui who played the role of the red-haired ghost Liu Tang in the 96 version of "Water Margin"!
He also played the role of Cao Ren in the 92 version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

His job is as a producer and assistant director, and the actor is only a part-time job.

However, he graduated from the Central National Conservatory of Music, and was once a tenor singer of the Lucheng Song and Dance Troupe and Gong Li's manager.

Thinking of this person's resume, Jiang Pei'an thought to himself:
Really echoed that sentence, a singer who can't perform is not a good manager!
"Who is this?"

Tai Zuhui looked at Jiang Pei'an and asked suspiciously.

He should have gone to the bathroom just now, so he didn't know that Jiang Pei'an had just arrived.

Qi Yuefei answered:

"My little fellow, I have something to do when I come to the capital, hehe, let's continue, Producer Tai?"

"Ah."

"How about I go over there and order a cup of coffee first?"

When the two talked about things, Jiang Pei'an was naturally not qualified to listen in.

Qi Yuefei waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Just sit here, we're not discussing some shameful things, what do you think, Producer Tai?"

Tai Zuhui glanced at Jiang Pei'an, sat opposite Qi Yuefei, and said:

"Mr. Qi, as I said earlier, this movie is starring Gong Li.

Its success or failure is related to the future of our Sanjiu Film Industry.

So Director Sun and I strive for perfection in every aspect.

If it wasn't because Sun Dao had something to do in Yushui and couldn't leave.

I think he will definitely come to the capital to meet you in person, this is our attitude.

But the few people you recommended today, to be honest, I am very dissatisfied. "

After speaking, it seemed that he did not express his strength, so he reiterated:
"Extremely dissatisfied!"

Hearing Tai Zuhui's words, Qi Yuefei smiled wryly and said:
"These people are already the most suitable ones we can contact with Star Art Culture.

Those who are also relatively popular in the market, you have heard their demos.

The quality is definitely not worth talking about, besides..."

Before Qi Yuefei finished speaking, Tai Zuhui knocked on the table to interrupt:

"No matter how strong their appeal and how good their works are, they don't match our movies.

To be precise, the matching point is not enough. Tell me how to put such garbage in the movie? "

Tai Zuhui was really angry, and even used the word trash to describe it.

Qi Yuefei's face turned red from anger, but he didn't get angry after thinking about it. He slumped on the chair like a discouraged ball.

Jiang Pei'an listened from the side, keenly grasping a few words.

Producer Tai, Gong Li, Sanjiu Films, Director Sun, and it's still 1999!
The answer is about to come out!

Sure enough, Tai Zuhui threw the script on the table and said with a sneer:

"Boss Qi, when looking for singers, please let them read the script by the way.

What is the name of our movie, what story is it telling, and then write a song!

What we want is a high-quality theme song, not something you just pick up! "

On the cover of the script, there are four big characters "beautiful mother".

There are two lines of small print below.

Producer: Tai Zuhui.

Director: Sun Zhou.
