I'm not just a director

Chapter 142 Director Jiang, awesome!
"Taken" was screened No.20 in China for five days, and won a domestic box office of 7630 million.

This result is really brilliant!

What's more, "Taken" has now been screened abroad and has received unanimous praise.

"The Chinese director who created miracles, Jiang, his new movie has been released in North America!"

"An action movie called a classic by many media and film critics, opened a new chapter in action movies!"

"As a director, Jiang has been challenging himself.

From the pseudo-documentary "Ghost Story" to "Saw", which is famous for its small and big film history, to the groundbreaking action film "Taken".

God, you never know what's in the mind of a genius, he really is a gift from God to the film industry. "

The praise from abroad really made the domestic media boil.

Over the past few years, domestic directors have hit Hollywood from time to time, but without exception, they all failed.

And the directors who can win awards and become famous in the foreign film industry are all directors of literary films who have exposed some kind of "scars" in China's special period.

Directors like Jiang Pei'an who have made a fortune in commercial films and earned money from the pockets of gringos cannot be said to be unique.

But this is the only one who achieved his fame and status!
Director Jiang, awesome!
As the word-of-mouth of "Taken" continues to ferment, it is like a "hurricane" sweeping all corners of the world.

Even the Hong Kong media placed high hopes on "Spy Lost City", which was called "the savior" and sniped "Taken".

After experiencing a boom in the first few days of its initial release, the market share has dropped sharply.

How much news it brought in the early days of its release excited the Hong Kong media, but now it disappoints them.

The model of big brother + Jiahe is like a gust of wind in front of "Hurricane", which cannot cause much disturbance in the film market!
The Hong Kong media was slapped in the face, and "Hurricane" is still that kind of hurricane, but the Hong Kong media has no hope.

He could only grit his teeth and watch Jiang Pei'an and his films make a big splash in the Hong Kong market.

No way!
……

Every year after the Chinese New Year, young or middle-aged people in the village start to go out to work one after another.

But things are a little different this year.

I don't know who spread the word, Jiangtai Town will become a quyi town in the next year.

Everyone will not have to go out to work in the future, and they can make money by filming TV dramas in the village!

It is said that the leaders of the county went to Jiang Pei'an's house to make a final decision on this matter.

"Why did you go to Jiang Pei'an's house? Isn't the folk tune in our village owned by Qi Yuefei, the boss of Xinyang City?"

"You bastard, Pei An is a big director in the capital, I heard from my son, all the movies played outside are directed by Pei An, it seems to be called a tornado.

I don't know what a director is. I heard from my son that the director is the most powerful in the movie, and all the stars on TV have to listen to him! "

Several people in the village squatted under the big poplar tree at the head of the village.

Everyone was discussing enthusiastically with bowls in their hands.

Originally, this place was usually a gathering place for women in the village, and even the dogs had to shake their heads and walk around when they came.

Today, women collectively "start a business" and abandon this base area.

The old and young men who came back from work occupied this place and began to chat.

"Hey, I heard that Jiang Li's son recently posted that he was taken to Hong Kong Province by a relative from out of town to enjoy his blessings."

"Which Jiang Li?"

"How many Jiang Lis can there be in our town? It's the Jiang Li at Xitou, the one who died."

"You are talking about Desheng, Jiang Desheng, his father Jiang Li is dead, and his mother is also dead.

He just wandered around the village all day long. He was in his thirties and was still a bachelor. He still had relatives in Hong Kong Province? "

A group of people were surprised. These days, Hong Kong is a big city when it comes to Hong Kong.

Anyone who can go to Hong Kong Province is basically the same as going abroad.

"I heard that the Hong Kong Province sent a car to borrow it, so it's a piece of shit luck."

"It's good to leave, but it's a disaster in the town. I heard that he and Sangen's wife...hehe."

A group of men let out obscene laughter that men could understand under the big poplar tree, and the air became extremely lively.

……

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Pei'an flew to the capital from Xinyang Airport.

The capital is still in a festive atmosphere, although there are already busy migrant workers in clothes that don't fit in the bustling metropolis on the streets.

But most of the locals in Beijing are still immersed in visiting relatives and friends and wishing New Year greetings.

China Film Group did not go to work, Hu Jing was still in Yunnan Province and Gao Yuanyuan was visiting relatives and friends with her parents.

Jiang Pei'an, who is alone, can only stay in the empty villa.

He just took advantage of this time to sort out his role in "Love Has an Afterlife".

The plot is actually quite simple and old-fashioned in the eyes of later generations.

A Ming, played by Jiang Pei'an, fell in love with A Jiu, a flute girl played by Yu Feihong, and forced her home to be his wife.

But Ah Jiu has always treated Ah Ming indifferently.

Amin, who has not received a positive response from his wife for a long time, broke out and went to a temple to become a monk.

In the temple, Ah Jiu brought tea and meals to A Ming every day.

The two later settled their suspicions, and their relationship continued to heat up.

However, the good times did not last long.

Ah Ming's elder brother was plotted against, and when he was dying, Ah Ming realized that Ah Jiu was the accomplice who designed his elder brother to be shot.

It turns out that brother A Ming killed Ah Jiu's family, and Ah Jiu and her brother came to revenge.

Facing Ah Ming, Ah Jiu felt ashamed and committed suicide. Before he died, he said goodbye in the next life and continued the relationship.

Time flies, 50 years later, Mo Xiaoyu, still played by Yu Feihong, is under a ginkgo tree, listening to the story told by A Ming, who is still in the world.

She vaguely realized that Ah Jiu was her previous life, and couldn't help crying like rain, and Ah Ming also disappeared under the ginkgo tree at this time, rushing to reincarnate.

The story is probably like this, but this film interweaves the feud between two generations, the love between men and women, and the cycle of life and memory.

Coupled with the beautiful scenery, classic pictures, tragic plot, and strong emotions, it is really a rare good movie to watch now.

Moreover, it adopts a linear narrative structure, combining flashbacks and interludes.

Two different love lines complete the interlacing of the past and reality, making the film's narrative flexible and not monotonous.

That is to say, later generations have delayed the release of this movie for more than ten years. If it is released now, the domestic market is hard to say.

But some countries in the West that like niche literary love will definitely appreciate it very much.

Foreigners in this era like this tune, which is similar to the relationship between people and ghosts, falling in love after a few lifetimes or something.

As long as the picture is beautiful, the plot is not flawed, and the acting is performed by handsome men and beautiful women, there is a high probability that they will not rush.

For example, Wang Zuxian's version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is very popular.

Even the movie theme song is often covered by foreign singers.

"Just take it as a challenge to yourself, it's so boring to always be a director."

Jiang Pei'an muttered to himself, and then began to practice acting in front of the mirror.

He has a good memory, and he memorized the lines after a few times.

The difficult thing is how to speak the lines with emotion. Dubbing is not popular these days.

It is really because of the difference in accent, or similar to the co-production of the mainland, Hong Kong and provinces that the dubbing has to be started.

It's not like the later generations, who can get a huge salary by saying 12345 and pairing it with a staring and exaggerated expression.

The director's filming was terrible, and the audience watched it awkwardly. It's like a cancer in film and television dramas...

Jiang Pei'an was born in Yeluzi, although he has also undergone professional and systematic course training.

But at that time, both his directing skills and acting experience had already been finalized.

For him, the systematic subject courses can only be regarded as icing on the cake.

After practicing for a few days, the time came to the seventh day, and everyone started to go to work.

Jiang Pei'an has benefited a lot from the retreat in the past few days, and Yihong's performance in the original clip is very brilliant.

Jiang Pei'an compared the gourd to draw a scoop, and based on his many years of directing experience, it is not a big problem to choose the role of A Ming.

Yu Feihong also started to contact Jiang Pei'an.

"No accident, we will go to Yunnan Province for shooting in mid-March."

Yu Feihong said with a smile on the phone.

From March to October is the time when the scenery in Yunnan Province is the best, and the climate is relatively pleasant, which is most suitable for viewing and traveling.

"No problem, sister, just let me know when you join the group."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

Ning Hao had already joined Spark Media, and the day after signing the contract, Jiang Pei'an threw the script of "Ghost Shadows" to him.

For the next period of time, Jiang Pei'an plans to spend half a month directing Ning Hao to shoot.

After "Ghost Shadow" is finished, he can directly enter the crew of "Love Has an Afterlife".

The main thing is seamless connection.

"Pei'an, are you... all right?"

"Huh? I'm fine. Why do you ask such a question?"

"It's like this. I'm in Hong Kong Province now. There are some unfavorable rumors about you here. They probably haven't spread back to China..."

Hearing this, Jiang Pei'an burst out laughing.

"Sister, it's not a matter of a day or two for me to be hacked by the Hong Kong media. It's a basic operation, so don't be impatient."

"Well, it's good that you don't care, but the rumors here are all about your hometown... I thought you didn't know."

What?
Jiang Pei'an's smile froze on his face.

The Hong Kong media has been blackmailing him for nothing more than two points.

One is that he got involved in such a relationship before and confronted the Hong Kong media.

The other is that part of "Taken" was over-interpreted by the Hong Kong media.

But these are just rumors, and not many people take it seriously.

Even the person involved, Jiang Pei'an, did not pay much attention to the Hong Kong media after the "confrontational bombing" incident.

But now it actually reveals something about Jiang Pei'an's hometown.

This is a fucking purposeful smearing by precise strikes!
"What did the Hong Kong media say?"

Jiang Pei'an asked blankly.

"You don't know about it yet?"

"Ah."

"They said that you use your influence to influence the government's decisions, regardless of the life and death of farmers to enclose the land for your own use.

And... don't care about the life and death of the people in the family, after you get rich, you will not support the people who are kind to you. "

Yu Feihong said in a low voice.

"And they have uncovered all your details, from elementary school to middle school, and everything about fighting and messing with society.

Moreover, you have a nose and an eye, and even serialized your experience on the newspaper section for people to read. "

Hearing this, Jiang Pei'an's brain turned rapidly.

The first point is about the matter of enclosing land for personal use. This matter should be about Quyi Town.

The second point, after the development, regardless of the life and death of the tribe...

Jiang Pei'an narrowed his eyes, and a figure in a military overcoat with wicked eyebrows appeared in his mind.

Jiang Desheng.

And later, he compiled stories from his childhood to adulthood and serialized them in newspapers for people to read.

Combining the above with the fact that some people in the town said that Jiang Desheng was taken away by relatives in Hong Kong Province to enjoy the blessing...

"This group of media in Hong Kong Province really paid their blood!"

Jiang Pei'an talked to himself.

Needless to say, the Hong Kong media must have contacted Jiang Desheng in advance, plus Jiang Desheng's previous conflict with Jiang Pei'an...

It must be this old boy who exposed his details to the Hong Kong media!
"Pei'an, don't worry, I'm here to keep an eye on it for you, and I'll definitely call you as soon as there is anything wrong."

Yu Feihong said with concern over there.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, sister."

Jiang Pei'an thanked him.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Pei'an first made two phone calls to his hometown.

One is the town government and the other is the police station.

In addition, he also contacted the county leaders and Qi Yuefei.

Then, Jiang Pei'an called the Shencheng Penguin headquarters again.

After arranging everything properly, Jiang Pei'an pinched the bridge of his nose and said helplessly:
"Day by day, it doesn't stop people at all."

……

Hong Kong Province, a small newspaper.

"Old Wang, congratulations, welcome to afternoon tea today."

"Peter, you did a good job this time. In a few days, the mainland will definitely see your report, and Jiang Pei'an will have another headache!"

"Peter Wang, the editor-in-chief told you to go to his office."

A man in a suit immediately stood up. He looked at the assistant editor-in-chief in a black silk dress with a smug smile on his face, and asked:
"Jasmine, what did the editor-in-chief ask me to do?"

The editor's assistant named Jasmine glanced at him and said dissatisfiedly:
"Call me Merry."

"Alright Mindray, what does the editor-in-chief want me for?"

"It's a good thing anyway."

Jasmine gave him a blank look, twisted her waist and left.

"Good thing, is it because you want to get promoted and raise your salary?"

Peter Wang rubbed his chin, stared at Jasmine's lower waist and smiled.

In addition to being a newspaper reporter, Wang Peter also likes to gamble.

After going back and forth, he met a mainlander at the casino.

This mainlander loves to gamble very much, and borrowed a lot of money from Peter Wang.

One day, Peter Wang went to his house to ask for the bill, and found that this man was actually a fellow Jiang Pei'an who has been on fire recently.

According to him, the two have been in the same town since they were young, and they were classmates in elementary school.

In order to find out more information about Jiang Pei'an, he and the gambler named Jiang Jiayou came to Jiang Pei'an's hometown, Jiangtai Town, during Chinese New Year this year.

When the two rushed to Jiangtai Town, they happened to run into Jiang Desheng who came out of Jiang Pei'an's house cursing.

The Jiang family and Jiang Desheng were distant relatives, and after inquiring, they found out that Jiang Desheng was kicked out by the Jiang family.

Jiang Desheng was still cursing and saying things like being ungrateful, forgetting poor relatives when he got rich, collusion between government and businessmen, and so on.

Out of the sensitivity of the journalist profession, Peter Wang found that this was a big news that would definitely detonate the market.

So he and the Jiang family brought Jiang Desheng to Hong Kong Province.

Of course, Jiang Desheng was a mainlander who left in a hurry, and Peter Wang used some unusual means to transport him to Hong Kong Province.

Through Jiang Jiayou and Jiang Desheng, Peter Wang dug up the details of Jiang Pei'an, and only then did the reports on the market...

　On the second day of shooting, I felt tired and didn't love...
