I'm not just a director

Chapter 151 Pei'an, your new movie is amazing!

Miss Su Yu is a wonderful person.

Maybe she has the experience of studying abroad and working abroad. Some of her views may not be correct, but they are very fresh and interesting.

Jiang Pei'an, who has experienced the information explosion in later generations, can keep up with her topics and understand some of the stalks she throws up.

The two chatted happily.

"What is Miss Su planning to do in China?"

Jiang Pei'an asked with a smile.

"Well...serving the people, to be precise, I'm going to be a 'gardener'.

Educate the motherland about the sun at eight or nine o'clock. "

Su Qing stirred the coffee in the cup and continued:

"My dad arranged a school for me to be an English teacher for a year first.

Then I will solve my programming problem, which is a bit boring. "

Jiang Pei'an nodded.

Hearing Su Qing's words, her father should have some energy or connections in the capital.

These days are not as strict as later generations, every editor must take the test.

Basically, if we find some connections and connections, we can solve the system problem.

"It's quite boring. Has Ms. Su ever thought about returning to her old profession?"

Jiang Pei'an looked at her and said.

Su Qing looked at Jiang Pei'an, smiled and said:
"Director Jiang, are you planning to start a company?"

"There is just a shortage of a talent like you."

Jiang Pei'an replied.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll ruin your company?"

"How do you know if you don't try."

The two asked and answered, quite in harmony.

"Well... let me try."

Su Qing thought about it, and then asked:

"Director Jiang, how many employees does your company have?"

Jiang Pei'an spread his hands.

"Including you and me, there are three in total."

This is the start-up period.

"What about the office?"

Jiang Pei'an shook his head and said:
"still has not now."

Su Qing was stunned and asked:

"Is there another employee?"

"Like me, I'm also a director. Now I'm shooting a movie in Vancouver. You saw him on the plane."

A boss, a director, and I'm the only one who co-authors the company's official work!
"Director Jiang, I take back what I just said, okay?"

"Hahaha, it's late."

Jiang Pei'an laughed loudly.

"Actually, I'm not at a disadvantage."

Su Qing took a sip of coffee and continued:
"Jiang Pei'an, the director and screenwriter of three movies with over [-] million yuan, enjoys a high reputation in the world.

Maintain a good relationship with the domestic film giant China Film Group.

At the same time, it also has a very close relationship with the Chinese Academy of Arts giant Zhongxi.

Directors Feng, Chen, and Zhang all have connections with you.

more importantly……"

Su Qing stared at Jiang Pei'an, as if staring at a piece of sweet pastry.

"You are only in your early twenties and you have reached a height that no one else can reach in a lifetime.

Huge potential with endless possibilities!With such a boss, I will definitely not suffer! "

Jiang Pei'an almost forgot that the woman in front of him was his fan.

He stretched out his hand and said with a smile:
"Then, on behalf of Spark Media, I would like to welcome Manager Su's entry, and hope that we can have a happy cooperation."

Su Qing stretched out her hand and said:
"It is my honor to work with Director Jiang."

The two shook hands, Jiang Pei'an said:
"I will go to Vancouver in a while.

Before I leave, Manager Su, you have to choose the office location and the company's staff.

The basic framework of the company needs to be set up first, please refer to Huayi Brothers for details.

Tell me where the money is spent. "

"no problem."

Miss Su Yu nodded.

"Okay, let's talk about your salary and signing the contract next.

But let me tell you in advance that the trial period will be three months, and the salary will be paid within three months. I guess you won't like it haha.

We are talking about business, and the three-month trial period is that you choose me, and I choose you.

If you feel uncomfortable, you can leave at any time. If I think you are not suitable, we can only terminate the cooperation. "

"It's good to be clear in advance."

Sister Su Yu smiled slightly.

……

After finalizing the matter of Spark Media, the big stone in Jiang Pei'an's heart finally fell to the ground.

It's time to go to China Film Group to meet Director Han.

You can't always leave the leader alone, right?

Jiang Pei'an has already written the script and storyboard for his next movie.

only……

"Director Jiang, Director Han is waiting for you in the office."

the assistant said.

"It's work."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

"Hey, why is Director Jiang coming to China Film to guide the work when he is free?"

Seeing Jiang Pei'an walk into the office, Han Shanping moved the newspaper down, revealing a big head.

Is this little old man angry?

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:
"Leader, please don't embarrass me, you are not busy these days.

The director forum you set up, and you asked me to speak on stage, I was trembling like walking on thin ice.

Then the leader and the seniors are sitting under the stage, I have to behave well, I can't embarrass you, Chairman Han. "

Han Shanping frowned:
"Boy, it's my fault."

He knew that Han Shanping was targeting him.

He started nagging about the script of the next movie years ago, and he hasn't seen the movie until now.

Especially Jiang Pei'an's speech on the forum that he feared that the world would not be chaotic.

Han Shanping has a sense of crisis!
Jiang Pei'an didn't bother him, and directly took out a thick stack of scripts from his briefcase and put them on his desk.

"This is, the script for the next movie?"

Seeing Jiang Pei'an take out the script, a smile appeared on Han Shanping's face immediately.

But the smile quickly froze on his face.

Jiang Pei'an took out another script from his bag and slowly put it on his desk.

"Two scripts?"

"Ah."

"I said you kid, if you don't make a move, it's fine. If you hit someone as soon as you make a move, you will be caught off guard."

Han Shanping picked up one of the scripts and said with a smile.

"Of course I will implement Chairman Han's order to the end."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

"You, you, have a cup of tea first."

Han Shanping got up and made tea for him with a smile.

Good guy, old Han, can you be more powerful?

When I saw myself just now, my nose was neither my nose nor my eyes.

After seeing the script and taking it out, he made tea for himself in a blink of an eye.

You have learned the essence of Sichuan Opera thoroughly!

"I'll do it, I'll do it, just read the script."

Jiang Pei'an took the teacup and started to do it himself.

"Hehe, young people know how to respect the old.

Okay, I'll read the script first and see what surprise you brought me this time. "

Han Shanping said with a smile.

Ha ha.

Jiang Pei'an ignored the old guy and sat opposite him drinking tea alone.

Han Shanping took the script and read it happily. He was startled when he saw the first two pages.

"Pei'an, you, this is a detailed storyboard script, you can just shoot it!"

At first, Han Shanping thought that what Jiang Pei'an submitted to him was a literary script, that is, a scene-by-scene script described in words.

But in Jiang Pei'an's script, the placement of camera positions, elements of composition, and audio-visual language are all described in detail.

Just take it out and shoot it!
As if thinking of something, Han Shanping hastily opened another particularly thick script to read.

It is also a perfect storyboard script!
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have given you the script so late."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Han Shanping fell silent.

Did I put too much pressure on him?

Although "Taken" has already been screened in China, it is being screened in other parts of the world.

In other words, before the dividends from "Taken" arrived, Jiang Pei'an had already been forced by him to come up with a detailed shooting plan for the next movie.

And there are still two!

Not to mention the quality of the script, but the efficiency alone.

It is enough to make domestic directors who have been holding back for several years or even more than ten years before taking the step of filming feel ashamed.

Model worker!
Putting away his chaotic thoughts, Han Shanping focused on the script in his hand.

But at the same time, an uncontrollable thought rose again.

Creating two films in such a short amount of time, the quality of...

Even if the quality is not good, it is forced by oneself.

Han Shanping sighed and began to look down at the script.

And this lowered his head, he didn't raise it for a long time.

……

"it is good!"

Han Shanping was full of praise, raised his head and moved his neck, his face was full of praise!

Jiang Pei'an was taken aback by his voice, and lost all sleepiness.

Han Shanping was still in extreme excitement, and said heartily:
"Pei'an, this script is really great, and the setting is so exquisite!

It's just a bit...brain-burning. It took me a long time to realize it. Not bad, very good! "

Jiang Pei'an rubbed his eyes and looked at the time.

Dude, you've read a script for over an hour.

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:
"Han Dong, the quality of this script, is it okay?"

"Okay, it's really good, you are going to set a precedent in China!"

Han Shanping simply stood up and paced back and forth in the room, excitedly saying:

"As far as I know, there doesn't seem to be such a movie setting in China, right?

There are foreign countries, let me think about it, about the setting of time and space...

In 1993, American director Harold directed "Groundhog Day".

There was another action crime movie in Germany a few years ago, and "Run Lola Run" should have a similar setting.

However, Pei An, your "Source Code" should belong to the category of science fiction films, right? "

That's right, the first script that Jiang Pei'an handed to Han Shanping was the famous "Source Code".

In fact, for the first film after returning to China, Jiang Pei'an considered whether to make "Taken" or "Source Code".

These two films belong to different categories, but they are equally thrilling and exciting, and the plot rhythm is particularly catchy.

Even the 8-minute setting of "Source Code" is more exciting than the 96-hour setting of "Taken".

What fascinates people is the setting of its parallel space, which is novel and mind-opening.

The popular domestic film and television drama "The Beginning" in later generations has related settings that borrowed from it.

I chose "Taken" before considering that it has a lower viewing threshold than "Source Code".

It belongs to the kind of movie that is suitable for all ages. Correspondingly, it is his first movie when he returns to China.

More "brainless" and easier to open the situation!
"Han Dong is worthy of being an old filmmaker, the films you mentioned all have similar settings.

But it can be traced back to 1962, a short film of the French New Wave movement, "The Embankment".

Later, the American film director Terry remade it into "12 Monkeys".

Strictly speaking, I prefer to call "Source Code" a suspense science fiction film. "

The story of "Source Code" is not difficult to understand.

A story about parallel worlds, a string of codes, experienced several different parallel worlds in 8 minutes.

The depressing space capsule and the crowded train carriage, the gripping 8 minutes.

And every second of these 8 minutes absolutely made the audience dare not blink.

"Yes, quite an excellent screenplay, but..."

Soon Han Shanping frowned again, worried:
"Since it's a sci-fi movie... some special effects must be indispensable.

The level of domestic special effects is really hard to describe. "

The level of special effects in Huaxia in 2001, how should I put it, there is no difference between yes and no.

It is not an exaggeration to call it a 5-cent special effect.

This is also the most fundamental reason why there have not been many awesome sci-fi movies in China.

Even in later generations, apart from the two "The Wandering Earth" in China...

Of course, if "Magic City Fortress" is also a sci-fi movie, then there is nothing wrong with it.

Hearing this, Jiang Pei'an smiled slightly and said:

"Although "Source Code" is a sci-fi movie, there are not many special effects and the level is not high.

The special effects part visible in the entire film is the explosion part of the train and the incomplete body of the last actor.

In fact, these special effects are not worth mentioning compared to special effects such as cosmic explosions and outer space fighting.

And the location of the movie story is set in the place where ordinary people live.

For example, on the train, on the street, all places that we ordinary people can see with naked eyes.

The budget of the corresponding crew has been effectively controlled, and it can also ensure the smooth progress of story restoration.

It also ensures the overall quality of the film. "

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Han Shanping's frown slowly relaxed.

When he read the script just now, he didn't notice these details.

"Well, according to what you said, the production cost is not too high.

As for the special effects, in order to have a more realistic effect, I think it’s better to hire a foreign team to contract it, and then decide this movie? "

At the end, Han Shanping looked at Jiang Pei'an and asked.

Jiang Pei'an pointed to another thick script on Han Shanping's desk with a smile, and said:

"Han Dong, there is another script that you haven't read yet."

"Oh, look at my brain, I forgot, let me see what surprises you can bring me!"

Han Shanping's mentality is completely relaxed at this time, with such an excellent script as "Source Code" guaranteed.

Even if the second script is written like shit, he can accept it!
Jiang Pei'an smiled and nodded. While Han Shanping was reading the second script, he walked to the sofa in the office and prepared to have a good sleep.

"Wow."

Han Shanping lit a cigarette and slowly flipped through the second script.

The room was silent, save for the sound of flipping papers.

"hiss."

The cigarette butt burned to the end, and Han Shanping's fingers were burned.

He shook his hands in pain, but his eyes were fixed on the script, and his brows were also wrinkled into the shape of "Chuan".

I thought the first script was enough to burn my brain, but I didn't expect the second one to be even better!

I don't know how much time has passed.

"Tap!"

It was already dark outside, and Han Shanping lit up the small desk lamp on his desk.

The script in hand is only half finished.

Although it is difficult to read, the excitement of this story and the complexity of the setting are far beyond the first one.

This feeling……

It's so addictive that you don't want to let go.
