I'm not just a director

Chapter 126 The movie is about to be released! ! !

"The Retired Policeman Breaks Through the World to Save His Daughter, Hurricane Rescue Comes to an End!" "

"Jiang Pei'an's first film in China, China Film Group's big production will be released soon! "

"While domestic directors are still thinking about domestic ideas, Jiang Pei'an has already gone international! "

"Two generations of directors, old and new, who are you more optimistic about when the Spring Festival is scheduled?" "

The news about the completion of "Taken" made headlines on the front pages of major newspapers the next day.

Speaking of which, when Jiang Pei'an first came back from abroad, the scenery was the same for a while.

Of course, it was hacked.

Facing the overwhelming insults and attacks from Zhao Gege's fans, it's already a good attitude for this guy not to collapse.

After finally quelling the Zhao Gege incident, another scandal involving "Feng Feilian" came up.

Feng Fei's respective fan groups are huge, almost covering the three places on both sides of the strait.

Taking advantage of this heat, Jiang Pei'an caught fire in these places.

Well, still infamy.

Generally speaking, Jiang Pei'an's reputation abroad is based on his works.

The domestic reputation is all kinds of porcelain, so naturally it can't talk about a good reputation.

Now, as soon as "Taken" came out, he was immediately tied up with Zhang Yimou by someone with a heart.

I can't hide even if I want to!

In fact, this is the norm in the entertainment industry.

Otherwise, what do entertainment news editors eat?
Jiang Pei'an didn't have much feeling about this, at most he was witnessing history.

The "final battle" of Lao Mouzi's literary film!

This is also a movie that Lao Mouzi compromised with the audience. After it was released, the ending of the movie was re-edited.

Frankly speaking, "Happy Time" is not bad, the choice of actors is unique, Benshan and Dong Bailian, even in later generations, this cooperation between the old and the young is worth looking forward to.

It's just that at the current stall, if we go to sell the beauty of the world and advocate the truth, goodness and beauty, the audience is already tired of aesthetics.

They urgently need a real blockbuster, a commercial work that does not talk about connotation but pursues a visual feast.

American blockbusters have achieved this, and once hit domestic films.

In 1995, the 1 million box office of "True Lies" rubbed the 5000 million box office of "Sunny Day" on the ground.

Not to mention "Titanic" in 98.

The key point is that this movie was re-released in 2012D in China in 3, and it raked in nearly 10 billion box office.

In 2001, "Pearl Harbor" was released.

Director Michael Bay sees 'Titanic' making money.

He tried to copy the "disaster + love" mode of "Titanic" to make a masterpiece.

The film cost a lot of money, but the reviews were not good, but it was a success at the global box office.

You can express your indifference to the love in the film, but almost no one has a negative attitude towards the more than one hour bombing scene in the film.

"Pearl Harbor" was released in the mainland in the summer of 2001 and made a box office of more than 1 million yuan.

And Feng Xiaogang's "Big Wrist", the No.2 box office of the year, only had a box office of 4300 million.

Until 2001, there were still no domestic films with a box office of over [-] million yuan.

If you don't count the age-old "Shaolin Temple" and this year's main theme "Choice of Life and Death" with a box office of 1.2 million.

The appearance of "Hero" the following year broke this embarrassing situation...

Later generations also have movies such as the Marvel series, Avatar, and the "Fast and Furious" and "Harry Potter" series that will start next year.

The prevalence of Hollywood blockbusters in China is not only about box office earnings, but also ideological penetration.

In the face of imported blockbusters, domestic films are struggling, not only dwarfed by box office.

Even the word of mouth has reached the point of "Ri your mother, refund the money!".

In order to protect the fragmented domestic films that have been impacted by imported blockbusters.

In 2004, the General Administration verbally issued a notice that all theaters across the country would support domestic films.

每年6月10日至7月10日（或7月到8月）期间，不鼓励引进海外分账大片。

What we are talking about here is that the "verbal order" has not formed a document or letter, just like banning a film and director.

This is the so-called "domestic film protection month".

The original intention of the protection month is to complete the annual box office share of domestic films, from the perspective of supporting domestic films.

It is a bit embarrassing to say that the Domestic Film Protection Month is an act of using administrative power to gain advantages for local film companies.

Blocking the introduction and release of imported blockbusters for a period of time has established a protective umbrella for domestic films.

It's like two kids fighting and it ends up being the parent of one kid.

The reason is that the content is not good!
My family hates it, but you still want to conquer the world?

……

After "Taken" was finished, Jiang Pei'an accompanied Hu Jing in the dark and went to work.

This girl has gotten very close to Zeng Li recently, and the two were good friends at school.

Later, after "Yi Piao" and played a few roles in Zhou Yi's TV, the relationship between the two became better.

It was Jiang Pei'an's idea to appear in Zhou Yi's TV series in advance to make a familiar face.

Zhou Yi's TV series in recent years are not bad, with high quality and strong star-making ability.

Although there are a few dramas, the characters in the drama are almost household names due to the viral spread.

Gao Yuanyuan was valued by Zhang Yibai again after her role in "Taken", and invited her to audition for her movie "Subway to Spring".

This is also very good. The TV series and movies of "Carrying Love to the End" are all his works.

He is more keen on shooting urban romance films between men and women, and he especially likes to remake TV series that he has performed well into movies.

For example, "The Sky of the Wind Dog" was adapted into the movie "The Sky of the Burning Wild Boy".

Youth pain movies like "The Year in a Hurry" and "Passing Through Your World" are also his works.

Let’s not talk about whether the movie is good or not, but in love movies, Zhang Yibai definitely has a place!
……

Jiang Pei'an edited the film for more than a month with the production team in the "Little Black Room".

It was already winter outside when we left the customs.

Before we knew it, the year 2000 was about to pass.

After "Taken" is released, Jiang Pei'an will start the Hollywood production mode.

The first domestic shot has been fired, and it is time to prepare a new movie later.

"Bian, how is the post-production of your new movie going?"

Jiang Pei'an suddenly received a call from Yu Feihong.

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:
"Everything is going very smoothly. Basically, the battle will be resolved in the middle of this month. How about your sister, is the film preparation going well?"

"Love has an afterlife", as Yu Feihong's big screen Virgo, it took a year just to prepare.

She carefully polished and strived for perfection, trying to present the movie in her heart.

Jiang Pei'an understood her feelings very well. In order to make a movie well, it is common for directors to prepare for several years.

Of course, what happened during filming...

Jiang Wen from the Mainland, Sunglasses King from Hong Kong, actors and investors see these two, as far as they go!
"I'm fine, I'll probably be able to shoot in the spring of next year..."

"That's pretty good. The spring scenery in Yunnan Province is still pretty good. It's very comfortable to enjoy the beautiful scenery while shooting."

Jiang Pei'an joked with a smile.

"It's pretty good, that's..."

Yu Feihong's soft voice came, he hesitated to speak.

"Are there any problems?"

"Ah."

Yu Feihong nodded and asked tentatively:

"It's still about the hero, do you want to try it?"

Hearing this, Jiang Pei'an smiled wryly, why are these sisters staring at him!
Don't look at him directing the actors on the set all day long, teaching the actors how to act.

But let him do it with real swords and guns, and it may not be as good as theirs.

The so-called art industry has specialization, and cross-border is not that simple!
"Sister, I don't think I'm good enough. Don't you look up to so many outstanding actors in China?"

Jiang Pei'an smiled wryly.

"I don't like it, I just like yours, come on~"

Good guy, for the sake of a male lead, his thighs actually acted like a baby.

This is obviously not giving up until the goal is achieved!

"I, let me think about it."

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Yu Feihong said with a smile.

Jiang Pei'an was at a loss when he heard the busy tone from the other end of the phone.

What's the deal?

Don't you mean think about it!
Jiang Pei'an looked at the phone and suddenly smiled.

This approach is quite in line with Yu Feihong's temperament.

The reports of Yu Feihong from the outside world are either the intellectual and elegant Feihong Fairy.

Either an ageless goddess of temperament.

They were probably all flattering words, but Jiang Pei'an understood what kind of character she was in private.

Likes to gossip, is not good at housework, and sometimes likes to play petty temper.

This kind of personality is a little different from a "big woman" like Yu Feihong, but it is not annoying.

"Let's just shoot, isn't it just changing from a supporting role in the past to a leading role, this wave is called returning to the old business."

Jiang Pei'an said to himself alone.

……

China Film Group, internal screening.

Headed by Han Shanping, senior executives from China Film Group came here one after another, with a huge lineup.

"Pei'an, it's up to you today."

Han Shanping patted Jiang Pei'an's shoulder, with a little hesitation on his face.

He had read the script, and he already knew the cast.

But when it was time to watch the film, he was a little worried.

He has read a lot of good scripts in the past few years, and has also supported several film directors.

He looked forward to it with joy, but the results were not satisfactory.

Now he only had one step at the door, but he didn't have the courage to break in.

He even wondered if he had put too much pressure on Jiang Pei'an.

It is not a matter of overnight that China's films fall behind. Just one action movie will turn the situation around or make a good start?
Not to mention big productions, how about Director Chen's "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin"?
At the beginning, the Beijing Film Studio was almost wiped out, and many employers were recruited. What happened?

……

Jiang Pei'an saw the rare look of uneasiness on Han Shanping's face.

When passing him by, Jiang Pei'an whispered:

"You will never be disappointed."

Han Shanping nodded without a trace.

But he was surprised in his heart. Based on his understanding of Jiang Pei'an, if it wasn't a sure thing.

This young man is definitely not aimless.

He even mentioned Jiang Pei'an before, that young people should show their sharpness a little bit, and don't act calmly like an old man.

Jiang Pei'an was able to say that to him just now, no doubt he has great confidence in the work...

Jiang Pei'an's words reassured him a lot, and he let go of his tense brows a little.

After everyone was seated, Jiang Pei'an gestured to the staff and the screening began.

As always, he sat on the side, following the reflection of the light on the big screen, observing the expressions and reactions of the audience.

"Taken" is based on real stories, and after Jiang Pei'an's artistic processing, some small details are highlighted.

For example, Yu Rongguang visited specialty stores again and again for his daughter's birthday.

These details deepen the emotional bond between the characters, and the delicate and gentle emotional foreshadowing makes the already unremarkable plot more dramatic and appealing.

It can be said that the success of the plot design after "Taken" is inseparable from this emotional foreshadowing method.

Seeing that Yu Rongguang divorced his ex-wife because of professional problems, many leaders of China Film Film Corporation felt the same way.

Many people can find empathy in alienating family because of work.

After watching the previous performance, they were surprised. They did not expect that Yu Rongguang could perform such delicate emotions.

This really subverted their imagination!

Some people unanimously cast their eyes on Jiang Pei'an who was sitting sideways.

The young man did have two brushes!

As for their criticism of Jiang Pei'an when "Taken" was launched...

As far as the matter is concerned, everyone is also for work.

Jiang Pei'an noticed some people looking at him, but he didn't look back.

Some high-level executives of China Film Group have objections to him, and he is not a fool, so how could he not know.

Just wait...the slap in the face is just beginning!

With the deepening of the plot, when the 96-hour setting was proposed, the rhythm of the entire film immediately accelerated.

The delicate emotional foreshadowing in the early stage finally broke out at this moment.

Yu Rongguang traveled from Beijing to Hong Kong Province, then to Southeast Asia, Europe, North America...

It can be said that there is a lot of fighting everywhere, the action is clean and neat, and the plot is not sloppy.

Yu Rongguang is like a god of killing, under his stern face, everyone, be it black or white, will be killed.

The story is so compact that they don't even have time to go to the bathroom!

Some older leaders even held their hearts.

It's so thrilling and exciting!
……

"Taken" is not too long, just over 90 minutes at full count.

When the big screen was turned off and the lights were turned on, the leaders sat in their seats and thought about it for a long time.

Han Shanping's clenched fists slowly loosened, and his frowning brows were replaced by relief and sighs.

Become!

"Crash!"

Everyone stood up and applauded Jiang Pei'an warmly.

There was no hiding the smile on his face.

"Tell me, what do you think about this movie?"

Han Shanping said to the leaders of China Film Group beside him with a smile.

"Director Han..."

A man in his grade, about 50 years old, with a handsome face suddenly spoke.

Han Shanping glanced at him. He was one of the people who opposed Jiang Pei'an's filming of "Taken".

What do you want to say?
Han Shanping looked at him.

The leader bent slightly, with a troubled face and said:

"My, my biggest feeling right now is... I want to go to the bathroom, the movie is so exciting, I watched it all the time, and now I can't help it..."

Han Shanping was stunned, and then thought of several voices behind him:
"Han Dong, me too..."

"I'm going to the bathroom too..."

Four or five people left the scene one after another, Han Shanping was stunned, and then he laughed and said:

"Comrades are getting older and this sort of thing is inevitable.

But this also means that Pei An's movie is quite exciting and successful.

Let’s go for convenience first, don’t do this in the future, it’s easy to suffocate your body, hahaha. "

No one expected this dramatic scene.

Jiang Pei'an sighed in his heart:
Where is this to pee?This is all sophistication!
Han Shanping was in a good mood, patted Jiang Pei'an on the shoulder, and praised:

"The movie is very good, not bad compared to Hollywood blockbusters, and the announcement is directly in the final stage.

The movie is scheduled for New Year's Day, what do you think of Pei'an? "

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:
"I'm OK."

Hey, New Year's Day, this is a face-to-face "war" with Lao Mouzi!

"Happy Time" is scheduled for December 12st.
