I'm not just a director

Chapter 178 Godfather of the Celestial Immortal?
In the dim cinema, everyone held their breath and stared at the big screen.

Because of the jewels of the first part, the second part is still very attractive to most movie fans.

Even during the announcement stage of "Ghost Shadow 2", there were many fake trailers made by fans on the Internet for their own entertainment.

Or use the routine of "Ghost Shadow" to share many supernatural events encountered in life.

The success of "Ghost Shadow" even set off a wave of "pseudo-record craze".

Many directors have imitated and made many similar movies.

For example, in May this year, a large number of first-person horror movies were released in overseas markets.

However, most of these movies are imitations, without imitating the essence.

The whole movie is filled with a lot of cheap blood horror shots, as well as sudden scary music.

It caused physical discomfort and curses from the audience on the spot.

There are also some directors who secretly studied the success of "Ghost Shadow 1".

Overwhelming publicity?
All kinds of deliberately forged real deeds?

Shaky shooting technique?
No, no, those are just appearances.

The biggest difference is...yellow skin!

That's right, yellow skin!

What kind of publicity, forgery, and shooting methods are all played badly in Hollywood.

But have you ever seen horror movies in Hollywood where all Asians or yellow people starred?
The theme of the oriental mysterious background and the yellow faces of all the members that Western audiences have not seen for a long time are the root causes of success.

I have to say that there are quite a few self-righteous people in both the East and the West.

Something like "Watson, you found a blind spot."

Directors who thought they had seized the traffic code used a large number of Asians.

This directly leads to the frequent appearance of Asian yellow faces in horror movies.

There are also directors who pursue the ultimate, only using Chinese people...

Of course, the final box office.

Horrible!

These low-quality movies made the audience call them bad movies after watching them.

Many people began to subconsciously compare them with "Ghost Shadow 1".

It is also low-cost and yellow-skinned, but the frightening atmosphere created by "Ghost Shadow 1" kills them in seconds.

At the same time, they also have strong expectations for the sequel to "Ghost Shadow".

"Ghost Shadow 2" continued the horror atmosphere of the previous one, but Jiang Pei'an made a lot of adaptations from it.

Compared with the previous work, "Ghost Shadow 2" in the previous life is amazing.

But I still can't grasp the feeling, like a cheap girl who has tried her best to tease the guests, but can't find the excitement of the guests at all.

Her attempt to imitate the tricks of a previous courtesan only made things worse by completely missing the point.

When the guests finally feel the atmosphere and feel the heartbeat speed up.

She didn't expect it at all or stopped there, and left a mysterious look in an attempt to get the guest to come next time.

This situation has something to do with the creator. After all, the money earned in the last movie made director Oren a millionaire and wanted to get out immediately.

Of course, Paramount, which has tasted a huge sweetness, will not give up.

As a result, the audience's senses will certainly not be very good for the things that are put on the shelves after rushing the ducks.

Therefore, Jiang Pei'an made various plot repairs and filled in details on the premise that the general framework of "Ghost Shadow 2" did not change.

We often say that dogs and babies can often see things that we adults can't...

This sentence is vividly reflected in the second part, and even Jiang Pei'an emphasizes on portraying this point.

Also, when Zeng Li was dragged down the stairs, Jiang Pei'an continued the style of the first film.

The tangible, grim-looking ghosts that the audience imagined did not appear.

It's an invisible ghost who can't see, doesn't know where it is, and what it will do to you next.

This is a continuation of the previous plot where Hu Jing's quilt was lifted by an invisible force and dragged out of bed.

The small details of these designs give the audience a strong sense of immersion in the movie.

……

Jiang Pei'an carefully observed the performance of the audience from his seat.

From time to time, there were screams and low cries from the audience in the theater, but it was not the kind of screaming that came and went in a large area.

For this point, Jiang Pei'an still has a bottom line in his heart.

The style of the "Ghost Shadow" series itself is not a horror film in the traditional sense.

The audience's feedback will not be too intense, they will only return to their daily life after watching the movie.

After touching something in life, I inadvertently thought of the plot, and then a chill permeated my whole body.

hindsight.

When Jiang Pei'an turned his head, he realized that Ning Hao beside him lowered his head the whole time, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What's the matter, don't tell me, as a director, you will still be scared by this movie?"

Jiang Pei'an touched his arm and smiled softly.

Ning Hao shook his head and said:

"Director Jiang, this is our first stop in North America. I'm a little worried."

Jiang Pei'an smiled and comforted:

"There is nothing to worry about. When it was released in Canada, "Ghost Shadow 2" was far ahead in single-house performance and won consecutive championships.

Later, with the addition of theaters, the box office figures also increased, and it took 650 million US dollars in the box office in just one week of its release.

This is only a week's results. Compared with those fledgling directors in China, your results are enough to kill them in seconds. "

Ning Hao looked up at Jiang Pei'an and said:

"Director Jiang's "Ghost Shadow 2" is your movie, both the plot and the storyboards are created by you.

At best, I can be regarded as an executive director, and everyone is watching movies because of your fame. "

Regarding these, Ning Hao still has self-knowledge.

Jiang Pei'an waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Those don't matter, when the movie's final curtain call, your name is written in the director's column.

You just need to be ready to become famous, think about how the North American media will report on you?
Huaxia directors collectively entered Hollywood?Or is it that the first film of a new director has won many people's attention? "

Seeing Jiang Pei'an's optimism, Ning Hao immediately relaxed a lot.

"Ok."

……

At the end of the 90-minute movie, when the theater lights were turned on, there was warm applause in the theater.

"Go ahead, it's your turn to call the curtain."

Jiang Pei'an pushed Ning Hao's back and said.

"Me? Director Jiang, won't you go up?"

"I already had enough limelight at the beginning, and it's up to you to show off. I'll take a picture of you and send it to Aina."

Jiang Pei'an held up the borrowed camera in Yang's hand and said with a smile.

"I, I can't handle this scene a little bit."

Ning Hao smiled wryly.

"That's not okay. You have to get used to these scenes. Anyway, there is no one you know in the audience, so don't care what others think of you."

Jiang Pei'an encouraged.

"Uh... well."

Jiang Pei'an leaned on the seat and watched Ning Hao trot to the stage in a hurry.

"Stupid."

Jiang Pei'an laughed and cursed.

Then he picked up his camera and took a few photos.

Ning Hao's speech is quite satisfactory. During his stay in Vancouver, his oral communication skills have improved a lot.

But perhaps because of nervousness, he stammered a bit.

The media in the audience also saw Ning Hao's restraint, and many people turned their attention to Jiang Pei'an.

Compared with the rookie director Ning Hao, they prefer to interview this humorous man.

However, Jiang Peian sat firmly on Mount Tai, ignoring their stares and striking up a conversation.

Due to Ninghao's embarrassment and his stuttering English, the media kindly let him go.

Even so, Ning Hao's back was still wet with sweat.

"I'd rather stay up late in the computer room editing films than accept interviews anymore, it's too difficult."

Ning Hao sat weakly beside Jiang Pei'an and said wearily.

"Okay, it's time to go to the fan meeting. Lionsgate really spent their money this time."

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

Jiang Pei'an's itinerary in North America is only New York.

After all, he still has movies to shoot in China, and Lionsgate has no way to force him to arrange his itinerary.

However, Lionsgate's marketing department still created a "fan meeting" ingeniously.

It can be expected that a large number of media will definitely be arranged at the meeting.

Once Jiang Pei'an leaves, these drafts will be everywhere, squeezing Jiang Pei'an's influence to the maximum.

capitalist……

Hotel, fan meeting.

Although Lionsgate is a bit picky, it is absolutely generous when it comes to making money.

The 6th to 12th floors of the hotel are all covered by Lions Gate.

The large conference hall on the 12th floor was arranged as a banquet table.

Jiang Pei'an and Charles are the protagonists of this banquet. Well, the supporting roles are the rookie director Ning Hao and the heroine Zeng Li.

"Excuse me, Jiang, can we have a chat?"

"sure……"

The movie fans were all over Jiang Pei'an, and some media had no choice but to take the opportunity to interview Jiang Pei'an.

"My friends, you are so enthusiastic, I need to go to the bathroom now, can I?"

Jiang Pei'an said dryly to the people around him.

"Of course you can, thanks for your hard work."

"Jiang, don't sneak away~"

"I like your humor very much, today's conversation was very pleasant..."

Jiang Pei'an used his urine to escape and left the main venue directly.

Looking at the brightly dressed people at the scene, Jiang Pei'an suddenly remembered the wedding banquet.

wedding...

Thinking of the debt of love on her body, it is unrealistic to hold a wedding.

"Hello Director Jiang, may I interrupt you for a moment?"

Just as Jiang Pei'an was standing on the balcony thinking about something, a gentle voice suddenly sounded.

Jiang Pei'an looked up and saw two women, one big and one small, standing beside him.

The eldest is handsome and gentle in appearance, with a detached temperament.

The small ones are pure and beautiful, although they have not yet bloomed.

But the facial features are exquisite, given time, she will definitely grow into a beautiful woman.

Ok?
Looking at the two people in front of him, a question mark appeared in Jiang Pei'an's mind.

Why did Tianxian and Tianxian come here?

But thinking of the reports of later generations, they did live in New York during this period of time.

"Of course, hello."

Jiang Pei'an said in Chinese.

Tianxian looked at Jiang Pei'an curiously with a pair of watery eyes.

This brother is a bit good-looking...

"My name is Liu Xiaoli, and this is my daughter Anxi. We are all fans of your movies, and we really like watching your movies."

Liu Xiaoli said with a smile.

"Mom, you didn't take me to watch my brother's movie just now..."

Anxi interrupted suddenly.

"Uh……"

Liu Xiaoli smiled awkwardly.

Jiang Pei'an laughed heartily.

Tianxian's social cattle attribute has been around since he was a child.

"Is your name Anxi? It's because the movie made by your uncle is not suitable for children, so your mother didn't take you to watch it.

After that, she will definitely go to the cinema to see it, right Ms. Liu? "

"Of course, Sissy, when adults are talking, children are not allowed to interrupt casually."

Liu Xiaoli said to her daughter.

"All right……"

Anxi pursed her lips in response.

"Director Jiang, you don't mind if the child's words are neither serious nor serious."

Liu Xiaoli apologized.

Jiang Pei'an patted Anxi's head, smiled and said:
"Tongyanwuji, Anxi is very cute, I like it."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Liu Xiaoli shifted the topic to An Qian, saying:
"This kid has been clamoring to become an actor. Director Jiang, do you think this kid can be an actor?"

Liu Xiaoli is a dancer herself, but she basically performs on stage.

It was not until 08 that later generations made a cameo appearance in "The King of Kung Fu" starring their daughter.

Regarding the entertainment industry and actors, to be honest, she doesn't know much about it personally.

Although there are also friends in the film and television industry, it will definitely be of great benefit if he can get some guidance from an international director like Jiang Pei'an.

As for whether there is any other purpose for contacting Jiang Pei'an this time, I'm afraid only she knows.

Does Liu Tianxian have acting talent?
Her facial features are neat and clean, without the slightest impurity.

The skin is rosy and rosy, and it can be broken by blowing bombs, which fully meets the oriental aesthetic standards.

In terms of performance, at the age of 15, she passed the three rounds of Nortel examinations as an "international student", and she was admitted with an exception for her outstanding performance.

Under the age of 18, the four TV dramas he starred in became popular.

There must be acting talent, in terms of acting skills.

This is a growing actor, from Bai Xiuzhu in "The Family of Gold Fans" to the popular "Menghualu".

Her acting skills are constantly improving, but in terms of acting skills, most people only pay attention to her appearance...

Of course, these are things that happened in later generations, and Jiang Pei'an definitely can't mention them now.

If you want to see your talent, then give it a try.

And in a way that the 14-year-old can accept.

It's very simple, give expression and movement instructions, and see if the trainee can do it.

Jiang Pei'an simply said a few facial expressions and movements for Anxi to do...

"Well, it's okay, the performance is still qualified."

After doing a few movements and expressions, Jiang Pei'an said to Liu Xiaoli.

"Is it just qualified?"

A flash of disappointment flashed in Liu Xiaoli's eyes.

Capturing Liu Xiaoli's emotions, Jiang Pei'an said again:

"The child is still young, and after professional training, he will improve a lot."

Liu Xiaoli nodded, and she asked tentatively:
"Director Jiang, how long will you stay in New York?"

"Well, I'll be leaving tomorrow."

"So fast?"

"Is there something wrong?"

Jiang Pei'an asked curiously.

Liu Xiaoli shook her head and said:
"It's nothing."

Liu Xiaoli hesitated to speak, but finally gave up.

The two chatted for a while, and Liu Xiaoli saw a movie fan walking towards Jiang Pei'an.

As if she had made up her mind, she said:

"Director Jiang, can you leave your contact information.

We plan to return to China next year, and I would like to invite you to dinner to thank you for your help today. "

"You are too polite, here is my contact information, we will make an appointment in China then."

Jiang Pei'an handed her his business card and said.

"Thank you, sorry for the intrusion."

……

Mother Liu Xiaoli and her daughter are on their way back.

"Mom, did I disappoint you?"

Anxi asked with some anxiety.

"It's nothing, Director Jiang said, you still have room for improvement, as long as you go through professional training."

"Ah."

"Sissy, what do you think of learning acting from Director Jiang?"

As she spoke, Liu Xiaoli laughed herself first.

What was I thinking wildly, I met him for the first time, no relatives and no reason, he is an internationally renowned director, why did he teach Anxi?

"I like this brother very much. If he becomes my teacher, will he be my godfather?"

"godfather?"

"Yes, just like my classmate Lilian, she has a godfather."

Liu Xiaoli brushed her wind-torn hair, and said gently:

"The godfather didn't mean that~"
