I'm not just a director

Chapter 176 Overseas Distribution Rights of Source Code

"Okay, got it, I'll go there."

At six o'clock in the morning, Jiang Pei'an hung up the phone at the villa in the West District.

"Well... who is calling you so early."

Gao Yuanyuan turned over on the bed and said in a daze.

Jiang Pei'an put his hands on her body and said with a smile:
"It's still early, you can go to bed later, Ninghao said that "Ghost Shadow 2" is going to be released in North America, let me go over and take the stand."

Gao Yuanyuan muttered something, put her smooth thigh on Jiang Pei'an's waist, and said:
"What if you left the crew?"

The sunlight outside the window shone in, making her skin smooth and delicate.

The sleepiness on his face hadn't completely dissipated, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Her shiny black hair hung down on her slender shoulders, exuding a faint fragrance.

As a model, her figure is smooth and shapely, with a thin waist and full buttocks complementing each other.

"Snapped."

Jiang Pei'an patted her lightly and said with a smile:
"The crew can't transfer without me. In the past three or four days, there is still Chang Xiaoyang in the crew."

Chang Xiaoyang debuted as an actor in 90, and later worked as an actor and assistant director, and worked with Li Shaohong and Lao Mouzi.

Later Tonatore was invited to come to China to direct the Olympic short film "Vision Beijing" and he acted as the executive director.

He served as the executive director of "Heroes", "House of Flying Daggers", "Daming Palace Ci", and "Orange is Red".

This time Jiang Pei'an filmed "Source Code" and it was also Han Shanping who brought him in to help.

It is worth mentioning that this is also a graduate of the Chinese Opera Department...

"Oh……"

Gao Yuanyuan changed her sleeping position, resting her head on the edge of the bed, her waterfall-like black hair slid down vertically.

"Isn't it the movie starring Zeng Li..."

Gao Yuanyuan muttered suddenly.

Ok?
Looking at Gao Yuanyuan again, I saw that she had turned her head away, only seeing her slender neck and undulating body.

Jiang Pei'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry, was he jealous?
It's okay for me and Zeng Li to be innocent, so I have to rely on some reason to be jealous.

It's better to suspect her best friend Hu Jing.

Uh...it's better not to.

"I'm getting up first, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

Jiang Pei'an put his hands on her body to comfort her.

Gao Yuanyuan sat up directly, scolding Ning Hao with a small face:

"It's so annoying, I call early in the morning, and I don't even look at what time it is."

After the two got up and washed, Jiang Pei'an fried a few more eggs and a serving of milk.

A simple breakfast.

Arriving at the parking lot near the studio, Jiang Pei'an put Gao Yuanyuan down, and the two rushed to the studio one after the other.

Today is still the scene in the train carriage.

In fact, filming was very boring, especially the plot before "Source Code".

The train is constantly exploding and being reshaped with Hu Jun's "return".

As the protagonist, Hu Jun has been "reborn" nine times.

These nine rebirths are particularly compact to watch with the brisk editing in the later stage.

But in the shooting, it is repeated over and over again.

Of course, it is not a complete mechanical copy.

Every time Hu Jun is "reborn", he will rely on details to discover different clues.

Then along the clues, various information is continuously released, and the plot is promoted bit by bit.

"Director Chang, you watch this scene."

Jiang Pei'an said to Chang Xiaoyang beside him.

Chang Xiaoyang is in his 30s, in his prime, a tall and tall man from the Northeast.

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, he readily agreed.

"no problem."

The directors that Chang Xiaoyang has worked with are synonymous with "excellent executive directors".

With him as the executive director, no matter how big the problem is, it will not be a problem.

In his own words:
In this line of work, I never said "no", there is nothing impossible, only unexpected.

"No. 18 games, seven shots, once, start!"

Chang Xiaoyang took Jiang Pei'an's place and didn't ask anything, anyway, it was clearly written on the sub-camera.

Just take a photo!

He sits on the monitor calmly and gives orders calmly.

This is a fighting scene, mainly between Hu Jun and the flight attendant.

The action director is still Jiang Pei'an's old partner, Ma Zhongxuan.

On the monitor, a close-up of Hu Jun's resolute face, and then the train steward came up to stop Hu Jun who was "playing around" on the train.

"Crack!"

Chang Xiaoyang frowned, and said to Ma Zhongxuan next to him:
"Director Ma, can you elaborate a little more on Brother Jun's movements.

Now it's a bit like children fighting, it's too messy and there's no rules. "

Ma Zhongxuan was a little annoyed when he heard the words, the movements were all planned in advance, so he changed it if he wanted to?

He looked at Jiang Pei'an, but Jiang Pei'an didn't speak, and looked like he was watching a show with his arms folded.

Ma Zhongxuan had worked with Jiang Pei'an for a period of time, and knew his character well.

Seeing Jiang Pei'an's reluctance to ask too much, he understood that the control of the set had been handed over to Chang Xiaoyang.

"Chang Dao, the space in the train compartment is limited, and the opening and closing movements cannot be performed."

Ma Zhongxuan said bravely.

"Isn't it possible to do the same thing? The protagonist is a soldier, so how about capturing it?"

Chang Xiaoyang suggested.

To put it simply, grasping is to take advantage of the weaknesses of human joints, acupuncture points and vital parts.

Use anti-joint movements and concentrate your strength to attack the opponent's weak points.

Make it produce a physiologically irresistible pain response, and achieve the effect of catching one of them.

Ma Zhongxuan thought for a while, gestured a few times with his hands, and said:
"Yes, it just so happens that grappling doesn't take up too much space, and it can also represent the protagonist's identity to a certain extent."

"Okay, then you should practice with Brother Jun and them a few times first, and let's take the reaction shots of other passengers first."

"Row."

Jiang Pei'an Cheng did not intervene in the conversation between the two.

Chang Xiaoyang is very experienced in handling it, and it can be seen that he has relevant experience.

Now he was completely relieved.

He took the time to go out and call Zeng Li. Since it's a promotion, he must bring the heroine of "Ghost Shadow 2".

Zeng Li is the heroine in another space-time laboratory in "Source Code".

Currently filming train scenes, with Gao Yuanyuan as the main one.

As for the leading actor, Tian Zheng, he is a passenger in the train scene, and also the "murderer". He will be inseparable from him for the next few days.

"Okay, no problem, but I have to report to the regiment first."

"Okay, then we tentatively plan to leave tomorrow afternoon."

Jiang Pei'an nodded. Zeng Li now belongs to the Federation of Trade Unions, and he has to report to go through procedures when going abroad.

That is, he came forward to say hello and the like, and it wouldn't take long.

……

The next afternoon, Jiang Pei'an drove to Beijing Airport.

"Director Jiang, isn't Jingjing coming?"

In the car, Zeng Li asked curiously.

Jiang Pei'an shook his head:
"She still has scenes to film, and she's in a hurry recently, so she can't find time."

This girl is fighting fiercely with Zhou Yi Film and Television.

After "Love Through Time and Space" was finished, at the invitation of Jiang Xuerou, she participated in "Li Wei as an Official".

The two had called several times, and Hu Jing admired Jiang Xuerou very much. It is said that the two have become good girlfriends now.

Jiang Pei'an can guarantee that since "Love Through Time and Space", he has never discussed investment with Jiang Xuerou again.

In other words, Hu Jing won Jiang Xuerou's approval by virtue of her personality charm.

Defeat the great beauty Chen Hao to take the position of heroine.

Of course, it doesn't rule out that Jiang Xuerou knows about his relationship with Hu Jing and wants to use this to climb Jiang Pei'an.

Who knows, there are a lot of people in the entertainment industry who are sloppy.

"I see."

Zeng Li nodded and leaned back in the seat.

Jiang Pei'an glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and said:
"I haven't asked you yet, why did you join the Federation of Trade Unions without saying a word after returning to China?"

Hearing this, Zeng Li smiled and said:

"Because I have an iron job, I don't usually perform many performances, and I can have my own life in my free time.

Occasionally go out to pick up two dramas, and I can support myself. "

Jiang Pei'an nodded and said:
"Sure enough, the end of the universe is the establishment."

Zeng Li was amused by his words, and the branches of laughter trembled:

"The end of the universe is the organization hahahaha, this is so apt."

What's more appropriate is that now affected by the great trend of thought, everyone has chosen to go to sea to do business.

After this period of time, set back another 20 years, when a major change occurs.

Only then did people realize that an iron rice bowl is still very important.

Especially for people in small places, a stable job in their hometown plus various hidden benefits.

Working from nine to five, with family members, is simply a dream job for ordinary people.

In the previous life, Jiang Pei'an also longed for this kind of job when he was filming all night long.

But now that he has relived his life and achieved his current achievements, this idea has been cut off.

……

It was already the next morning when the two came down from the airport.

They first went to the hotel to sort out and change their clothes, then contacted Ning Hao and rushed to Lions Gate.

"Jiang, you are welcome."

Charles, the president of Lionsgate, extended his arms and embraced Jiang Pei'an warmly.

Behind him are several senior officials of Lionsgate.

Among them are the three who drank too much from Erguotou last time.

The eyes of these three people looking at Jiang Pei'an were obviously a little dodgy, and they probably recalled some not-so-good memories in their minds.

Ning Hao also looked at him with a smile on his face in the crowd.

This guy looks a lot tired, but he is full of energy.

What puzzled Jiang Pei'an was why he didn't see Old Brown in the crowd.

As soon as the old man heard that Jiang Pei'an had arrived, he would definitely rush over immediately.

"Oh, Jiang, Old Brown is sick and recuperating at home. He asked me to convey my apology to you."

Seeing Jiang Pei'an's staring eyes, Charles said immediately.

"Is there anything serious?"

"It's not like, you know, getting old is like an old car. There are always parts that don't work."

Jiang Pei'an nodded, thinking that he took the time to look at this elegant little old man.

"Come on Jiang, Ning has been waiting for you, even though the test screening was very good.

But he always said humbly that he would wait for you to start the North American journey together.

He said that you are the soul of this movie, and you have a good partner and subordinate. "

Charles said with a smile.

Jiang Pei'an nodded towards Ninghao, and they walked towards the conference room together.

A projection is playing in the meeting room.

Apparently this is the plan for a North American release.

"The first stop we're going to do with our campaign is here, in New York.

It is one of the largest and most cosmopolitan cities in the United States.

It is a center of finance and commerce, as well as a center of film and television production..."

The guide will tell you about the next itinerary.

Jiang Pei'an secretly communicated with Ning Hao in the audience:

"How much of the pre-marketing of "Ghost Shadow 2" has been completed?"

Ning Hao immediately said:
"Since the film was finished, the marketing started simultaneously.

But Charles said that with the success of the last movie and your personal influence.

Coupled with the word-of-mouth of the test screening, the marketing can be appropriately weakened, and there is no overwhelming publicity like the previous one. "

Jiang Pei'an nodded, this is normal.

The last one was completely fraudulent marketing, and the marketing expenses alone almost made Lionsgate vomit blood.

For the stingy Lionsgate, from a commercial point of view, the success of the previous game undoubtedly gave them unprecedented confidence.

They also don't want to be called liars by fans.

Now that you have already made money, you must also consider word of mouth and appropriate whitewashing.

"Did they ask about Chainsaw 2?"

Hearing this, Ning Hao smiled wryly and said:

"Why didn't you ask, they didn't dare to disturb you, they just kept chasing after my ass to ask.

Every now and then Charles invites me to his office for coffee.

Later, I realized that I was not used to drinking that stuff, and I did not know where I got white wine.

Let Falk, Bray and Jeremy drink with me every day..."

The three people Ning Hao mentioned were the three Lions Gate cadres who vomited after drinking Erguotou with Jiang Pei'an last time.

Jiang Pei'an patted him on the shoulder and comforted him:

"Thank you for your hard work. After the promotion of "Ghost Shadow 2" is over, I will treat you to a drink when I return home."

Ning Hao almost vomited when he heard about drinking.

However, he keenly captured a piece of information and asked in surprise:
"Going back to China? "Chain Saw 2" is no longer filming?"

"Shooting, I definitely want to shoot, but it's definitely not the current cooperation mode.

Let's whet their appetites first, and I'll make plans later. "

Jiang Pei'an said.

Hearing this, Ning Hao put his heart back into his stomach.

Since it is going to be filmed, he must still have hope to direct.

"The above is the whole content of this announcement..."

At the end of the meeting, Charles led a group of people to clean up Jiang Pei'an.

Jiang Pei'an smiled and did not refuse, he knew that the next step was the highlight...

"Jiang, I heard that you are shooting a sci-fi movie in your country?"

The news about "Source Code" has been spread in China for a long time, Charles was not surprised to get the news.

"Yes, Mr. Charles."

"I have to say that you are really a wild guy, I am not saying that the film industry in your country is not good enough.

But the whole world knows that only Hollywood can make sci-fi movies that keep audiences interested.

No one can deny your talent, but if this kind of movie is shot by Lionsgate, will it have a better effect? "

Charles spread his hands and said with regret.

"Mr. Charles, I have to remind you that "Ghost Shadow 1" was filmed in China."

Jiang Pei'an reminded.

Charles shrugged and said:

"Oh, Jiang, I didn't mean to offend your country, I just made a suggestion."

"I'm just talking."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

"Then Jiang, have you ever thought about handing over the overseas distribution rights of "Source Code" to your most loyal friend?"

Charles licked his tongue, eyes sparkling with excitement.

Going around, that's the most important thing.
