I'm not just a director

Chapter 172
"Thank you all friends from the media for your visit, and thank you seniors present for their support."

Jiang Pei'an took the microphone and greeted the people who came to the scene on the stage.

Since everyone is very interested in this sci-fi theme, after the opening ceremony has completed the process.

The organizers also arranged for a question-and-answer session.

"Director Jiang, is this sci-fi movie of yours a movie that uses many special effects to create visual impact like a Hollywood blockbuster?"

A reporter in the audience asked.

This question can be said to be a topic of concern to many people.

The subject of science fiction movies did not receive widespread attention until the birth of "The Wandering Earth" in later generations.

Before that, everyone's favorite movies were the Hollywood Marvel series or the Transformers series.

Jiang Pei'an smiled slightly and said:
"The movie "Source Code" will not be what everyone imagined, with elements such as aliens, spaceships, and technological mutations.

We mainly win with the storyline, and we are more sci-fi in terms of setting. "

Jiang Pei'an didn't brag about the big scenes or sci-fi elements of "Source Code".

After all, the audience will know when the movie is released.

"Of course, there are all the special effects shots that should be there, and they are definitely not shoddy special effects."

Jiang Pei'an added another sentence.

When special effects were mentioned, someone immediately asked:
"Director Jiang, we all know that you are also very famous in Hollywood. May I ask whether the special effects have been produced by foreign teams?"

You said there are no big scenes, aliens and other sci-fi elements, well, we believe you.

What about special effects?For special effects, we can also support a wave!

Jiang Pei'an shook his head and said:
"For special effects, we are looking for Hualong numbers from our country.

A very good special effects production company, they can fully undertake the production task of "Source Code". "

After Jiang Pei'an's words came out, many people immediately shook their heads in disapproval.

There are no sci-fi elements such as aliens, and no special effects produced by a Hollywood team.

Is this still a sci-fi movie?

Somewhat disappointed.

Nowadays, the public's perception of science fiction movies is really stereotypes such as "alien", "spaceship" and "alien technology".

Since Spielberg's "ET The Extraterrestrial" was released in 1982, it has quickly become popular all over the world.

Almost all sci-fi films since then have been linked to aliens.

Or tell mostly stories from alien technology.

And the image of aliens has a specific outline.

So much so that the "Crazy Alien" filmed by Ning Hao in later generations used this image.

Seeing the mediocre response from the audience, Lao Mouzi went straight to the stage and said:
"Sorry, I came to the stage suddenly because I saw that everyone seemed a little disappointed after listening to Pei An's introduction.

Let me also talk about Pei An's "Source Code". When I first saw the script, my heart skipped a beat.

This kid has directly refreshed my understanding of sci-fi movies. For the first time, I know that sci-fi movies can still be made like this.

I won't spoil it in advance. When the time comes, everyone will go to the cinema to experience it and understand what I mean today.

He is an excellent film director, but also an excellent filmmaker who stepped out of his comfort zone and walked ahead of us directors! "

What Lao Mouzi said directly stunned the audience and reporters.

They had never seen Zhang Yimou speak so arrogantly, so highly praised a person.

Just when everyone was surprised, Jiang Pei'an took the microphone and said with a smile:
"Thank you Director Zhang for your strong recommendation. Many media asked me before that the domestic box office of "Taken" did not exceed [-] million. Is it a pity?"

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, everyone's attention was immediately attracted.

"Taken" finally stopped at the box office of 8830 million.

What a pity!
"I remember what I said at the time, the Chinese film market is gradually improving.

I'm still young, and my works are constantly being released. What I didn't do in 01, maybe I can do it in 02. "

On the stage, Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

The words fell like a bomb into the crowd.

The whole venue was in an uproar.

Does this mean that the box office of "Source Code" can exceed [-] million?
If it is said that Lao Mouzi's praise just now was due to the support of the seniors for the younger ones.

Then Jiang Pei'an's self-destruction is completely bursting with self-confidence!
The box office of domestic films has exceeded [-] million!
This is not only the dream of every film director, but also an achievement that a boss like Han Shanping urgently needs.

If someone else said this, I'm afraid they would be laughed out of their wits and grandstanding.

But what Jiang Pei'an said is still very important!
After all, they have achievements!

"Director Jiang, can I understand that you mean that "Source Code" will definitely exceed [-] million yuan. Are you so confident in this movie?"

A reporter asked excitedly.

"Wait and see."

Jiang Pei'an smiled slightly.

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and people cheered from time to time.

Feng Xiaogang was also applauding, with a smile on his face.

It's just that the smile is a little bitter.

"This kid, who dares to say that he is bragging? "Big Guy" has met a really big guy now."

Feng Xiaogang said to himself.

His wife Xu Fan patted his thigh and comforted him:
"I don't think so. The so-called sci-fi movies are still a niche category in China, and audiences may not really buy them."

Wang Zhonglei next to him shook his head and said:

"Movies are not like TV dramas, the director is very important.

Jiang Pei'an's influence is very great. Judging from the box office results alone, he is already among the well-known directors in China.

His fan base is huge, and some fans even support him unconditionally.

In the past two years, the big guys spent money to buy tickets to watch the New Year stalls because of Xiaogang. "

"Yes."

Feng Xiaogang sighed and said:
"Let's avoid Source Code this year."

Xu Fan was taken aback when he heard the words. The outside world said that his husband was a villain who was following others.

But she knew in her heart that Feng Xiaogang was proud, especially when it came to movies.

But now he actually said these words, she really didn't expect.

……

The opening ceremony was successfully concluded, and what happened at the meeting flew to the editorial rooms of major media like wings.

Jiang Pei'an also started to get busy.

The opening ceremony has been held, and the rest is filming.

Gao Chengsheng has sent out the filming announcement, and the interior of the train where the filming took place has been fully set up.

But before that, Jiang Pei'an had other things to do.

"Sister, let me see you off, or else I won't worry."

At night, the magic capital.

Jiang Pei'an said while carrying Yu Feihong's suitcase.

"You are busy with your work, I will fly to Spring City directly from the magic capital."

Yu Feihong said softly.

"That won't work, I have to send you to the airport, you just stay in Shanghai for a day after coming so far.

How tiring it is to go back and forth, I will be your driver. "

Jiang Pei'an put Yu Feihong's luggage in the trunk and said with a smile.

"Just take me to the airport?"

Yu Feihong gave him a funny look and asked.

"Then what else?"

Jiang Pei'an scratched his head and asked in confusion.

"Better so."

Yu Feihong snorted and got into the passenger seat of the car.
