I'm not just a director

Chapter 153 Jiang Pei'an's Business Empire
When Jiang Pei'an rushed to the set of "Ghost Story 2", it was already around four o'clock in the afternoon.

Old Brown is working hard to direct the crew to move things.

"Jiang, you're finally back. I thought you'd miss the completion of "Ghost Shadow 2"."

Old Brown said happily after seeing Jiang Pei'an.

"It doesn't matter if I don't come, as long as the movie is going well."

Jiang Pei'an greeted director Ning Hao, and said to Old Brown with a smile.

"How can that work? Although I don't deny Xie's talent, I can see his hard work.

But as the soul of "Ghost Shadow 2", if you don't come to the end of the movie, you always feel that something is missing. "

Old Brown smiled.

"Mr. Brown, you have worked hard during this time."

Jiang Pei'an thanked him.

Instead of Jiang Pei'an's producer, Brown, who is in his 70s, is still running around on the set, which is indeed respectable.

"Actually I haven't done much, I hear you're making a big splash in your country.

To be honest, because of work, I hope you can stay at Lions Gate to make a film.

Even if your country does not recognize you, Lions Gate will always open the door and wait for you.

But in terms of personal relationship, I am very happy to see your growth, this is from the bottom of my heart. "

Old Brown was wearing a decent suit, leaning on a cane, and looked like an old gentleman.

"Mr. Brown, thank you for your friendship."

Among other things, this old man is still very interesting.

From "Saw" to "The Ghost Story 2", he and Brown got along very well.

"Brother Jiang, you are back."

Yang Mi trotted over and said happily.

"Mimi has worked hard filming during this period, and it will be over in about a week."

Jiang Pei'an smiled while holding the schedule.

Almost two days of the remaining week's scenes belong to reshoots to check for gaps and make up for omissions, and another four days are for Hu Jing's scenes.

"It's so fast, I quite like the atmosphere on the set."

Yang Mi said a little disappointed.

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:
"Then you should study hard and get admitted to your favorite acting major, then you will be able to film all day long."

Boss Yang is indeed a model worker.

At the age of 15, he can't forget the set.

"Producer Jiang is right. After you go back, Mimi, you have to study hard. You can't live up to everyone's expectations of you."

Yang Ma came over and patted Yang Mi's head and smiled.

In fact, there is no need to wait for the future, after Yang Mi finished filming "Ghost Story 2" this time, there must be a lot of film appointments.

Based on Jiang Pei'an's understanding of Yang's father and Yang's mother, they will definitely "urge" Yang Mi to take more roles.

Of course, Jiang Pei'an cannot say that this is absolutely wrong.

After all, the choice is in the hands of the parents.

……

"Okay, click, call it a day!"

After Ning Hao yelled, the staff on the set immediately began to move the props.

Jiang Pei'an smiled beside him.

Although there is a language barrier, the migrant workers are still very sensitive to the slogan of getting off work.

After this period of filming, Ning Hao has lost some weight, but his body has become more energetic.

"Director Jiang."

Ning Hao trotted to Jiang Pei'an's side.

"Just now I watched your directing status from the sidelines. It's very good and you're making rapid progress."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

Ning Hao scratched his head, a little embarrassed:
"I still have to follow Director Jiang to continue studying."

"Tell me, how are you feeling recently?"

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Ning Hao straightened his face and said:

"When Director Jiang was on the set, I was very at ease when shooting.

During the time you returned to China, I basically slept four hours a day.

Every day I think about how to shoot the next scene and how to achieve the final effect according to the storyboard. "

Having said that, Ning Hao paused, the exhaustion on his face was obvious:
"The brain is in a state of tension and high-speed operation all the time, and it is very tired.

I often need to NG several times for a scene, and I also try to shoot several times from different angles.

It really exhausted the cameraman and actors, and I was exhausted myself. "

Jiang Pei'an nodded, these are the most common questions for novice directors.

It is the first time to take charge of a "big scene" without experience, and you will be exhausted both mentally and physically.

"Fortunately, I survived. Thinking about it carefully, I learned a lot this time.

If I were to direct a show again, I would definitely perform better than this time. "

Ning Hao clenched his fists and said energetically.

"Keep up this momentum and practice with foreign crews and excellent actors.

Your starting point is already much higher than most of your peers.

As for the next movie, don't worry, there will be one. "

Jiang Pei'an patted Ning Hao on the shoulder and said with a smile.

……

In the evening, Jiang Pei'an had just hung up on Hu Jing's call.

The cooperation with Zhouyi Film and Television has been confirmed, and this girl is also the heroine of "Love Through Time and Space".

As for the leading actor, Jiang Pei'an didn't move, it was Brother Shan Zheng.

Although there are many rumors about him in later generations, it has to be said that Brother Shanzheng has traffic now.

When I go out to buy some groceries, my aunt will always recognize me and point to my nose and ask if it's Zhu Bajie.

The production team of "Through Time" will start filming soon, but Jiang Pei'an directly said hello to that side and wanted to borrow Hu Jing for a few days.

Jiang Xuerou immediately agreed readily.

This is the power of RMB!

Jiang Pei'an sat on a chair and brushed something.

Seeing that "Ghost Story 2" is about to be completed.

"Chain Saw 2", which is close to cooperating with Lionsgate, is also ready to shoot.

Doesn't Ning Hao want to make a second movie? "Chain Saw 2" can also be thrown to him.

He can help Ning Hao check it out for a while, and add his talent through these two movies.

He can basically grow into a qualified director.

These two series of movies can always cooperate with Lionsgate.

For this kind of ghost horror movie, Lions Gate has its unique audience, and there are corresponding distribution channels with enough experience.

Then the next step is to star in "Love Has an Afterlife" and prepare to shoot "Source Code".

In the early stage of "Source Code", Han Shanping helped to watch, and the crew and scene construction were all right.

When he returns from the filming of "Love Has an Afterlife" in Yunnan Province, he will be able to connect seamlessly.

But Jiang Pei'an still felt a little slow.

In fact, after 2002, under the impact of commercial blockbusters and the impact of a large number of Hong Kong filmmakers going north, Chinese films showed signs of recovery.

In less than three to five years, capital will also begin to exit.

Although he is well-known at home and abroad, he is still far behind those film and television professionals with backgrounds and capital...

Jiang Pei'an took a pen and paper to write and draw on the manuscript paper.

With "Xinghuo Media" as the center, entertainment industries such as music, movies, and TV dramas surround it.

"In terms of music, I still have a lot of future hit songs in my hand.

The fastest way to develop nowadays is to sign a large number of future popular singers. "

Although having good works is a prerequisite for a singer to be popular.

But whether it is a singer or an actor, the character must be passed first.

Otherwise, the singer or actor he spent a lot of energy training, if rumors of a prostitute such as a female ticket break out one day, it will all be over!
As for the movie... It can be said that it is not only a way for Jiang Pei'an to make money, but also a shackle that restricts his development.

Among other things, he plunged into one movie, and basically only released one a year.

Efficiency is too slow!

So, next he positioned himself very clearly.

The role of screenwriter + producer (producer).

He adapted the film that became popular in later generations into a screenplay, and he participated in it as a producer and producer.

Didn't Liu Dehua in Hong Kong have a "Asian Rising Star Director" program? Jiang Pei'an can definitely organize a similar director training program.

Sign future famous directors into Xinghuo in advance, and let them help him make films like Ning Hao.

This not only improves efficiency, but also allows you to relax for a while.

Maybe in the future, he can still get the false name of "director godfather".

Of course, it is absolutely indispensable for him to direct a high-quality film every year.

Oh, right.

Brother Xiao Ma, who is far away in the deep city, is still worrying about how to make a profit.

Penguin Space is almost ready to be launched, and then we will set up penguin farms, pastures, and grab parking spaces.

Introduce traffic first to seize the market.

It's almost time to enter the game market later.

This is an old hen that lays golden eggs, he must bring up the layout and enter the venue...

Jiang Pei'an wrote a lot on the draft paper, and finally pointed to a problem.

money!
Such a large stall will definitely require a huge amount of funds to support it.

To tell the truth, he has earned a lot in the past few years. If he doesn't toss about, he won't be able to spend it in two lifetimes.

But it's not enough to put it in the business empire that Jiang Pei'an is building now.

""Taken" has almost started to be released one after another in other countries and regions.

When the dividends arrive, I should be able to get another sum, and this amount of money should be enough for me to support me for a while..."

Jiang Pei'an muttered to himself.

If there were other people present, they would definitely want to blow him up.

What is this little money?
For a movie like "Taken", which is popular all over the world, the dividends alone are now comparable to the year-end net profit of a listed company.

Although the final box office has not yet come out, the domestic media has already begun to predict.

At least 1 million US dollars!
Of course, even 3 million is not impossible!
Jiang Pei'an has always scoffed at such claims.

No matter how much money a movie makes, it's not robbing a bank. If it can break 3 million, then it's a fucking myth!

3 million U.S. dollars, converted into RMB, is 24 billion!

It's impossible to think about it with your toes, at least the current Jiang Pei'an can't achieve this result.

Well, if it is "Inception", it can be a shock!
……

Looking at the time, it was already 01:30 in the morning.

After putting away the manuscripts on the table, Jiang Pei'an stretched himself, ready to wash and rest.

"Beep beep."

There was a sudden knock on the door of the room.

Who will come this late?
Jiang Pei'an was a little curious.

"Please come in."

"Sorry, Director Jiang, for interrupting your rest."

A voice sounded.

Jiang Pei'an looked at the people outside and asked in surprise:

"Pear, why haven't you rested yet?"
