I'm not just a director

Chapter 179

Jiang Pei'an stayed in New York for two days.

Although many media rushed to interview him, but he didn't show up at all.

When interviewed, especially by foreign media, it is easy to meet people with ulterior motives.

Certain media outlets are not aimed at movies at all.

Or they will dig holes in the topic of the interview.

If you are not careful, you will be given countless interpretations after it is sent back to China.

This is not alarmist talk, and there are many public figures who have stumbled in interviews.

On the other hand, Jiang Pei'an himself is afraid of trouble, and often has to answer a question many times.

numb...

Even so, the draft of the fan meeting was also issued with Jiang Pei'an's departure.

"Close contact with this miracle-creating Chinese man! "

"Ghost Shadow 2 is not satisfactory, Jiang Pei'an's failure? "

"Produced by Jiang Pei'an, directed by new director Ning Hao, can Ghost Shadow 2 reproduce the miracle of the previous film? "

The release of the draft has a direct impact on the results of Ghost Shadow 2.

After the release, the voices of all parties also followed.

Although most movie fans bought it for their face, it is inevitable that there will be harsh voices.

""The Ghost Story 2" is terrifying, and it feels nothing new compared to the previous work."

"After watching "Ghost Shadow 2", it turned out that I was really timid!"

"The director has changed, and Jiang has changed from a director to a producer.

Compared with other new directors, Ning Hao has already succeeded, but it is still difficult to replicate Jiang's success! "

When a movie is released, there are bound to be mixed reviews in terms of word of mouth. Jiang Pei'an has experienced this many times.

I didn't take it to heart.

On the contrary, Ning Hao got a little emo after reading the report...

airport.

Jiang Pei'an patted Ning Hao on the shoulder who came to see him off.

"Looking at it from another perspective, if there is no criticism, then the praise is meaningless.

What's more, you have been noticed by the media now, which is actually a good thing. "

"Well, I understand Director Jiang, pay attention to safety on the road."

Ning Hao nodded and handed the luggage to Jiang Pei'an.

He will also follow the staff of Lions Gate to continue the road show promotion in North America.

Although Jiang Pei'an, a super big name, quits halfway, it will affect the effect of publicity.

But "Ghost Shadow" is a world-renowned IP, which itself has certain fans.

More exposure is always a good thing.

"Well, I see, let's go, Pear."

Jiang Pei'an nodded, Zeng Li greeted Ning Hao and left behind him.

……

Jiang Pei'an's trip has also received attention from various quarters.

After the premiere in New York, the news quickly spread back to China.

"Jiang Pei'an's new work lands in New York and is sought after by thousands of people! "

"A detailed count of the directors who broke into Hollywood, he is definitely the one who can't get around!" "

"Ghost Shadow 2" is released, attracting much attention!Because of the subject matter, it has no chance to be released in China. "

The news came overwhelmingly, causing quite a commotion among movie fans in China.

"Damn it, Boss Jiang went to New York to show off again, he's so awesome!"

"At the scene, Director Jiang was very nice, but he didn't talk much. Fortunately, there will be a fan meeting later."

"There is also a fan meeting, so happy, when will it be held in China!"

"One thing to say, although the director of Ghost Shadow 2 has changed, some details are still inherited from the sequel.

With director Jiang as a producer to check, the quality of the film is still very good, it's a pity that it can't be seen in China.

I went to watch it because I was studying in the United States and skipped class. I watched movies performed by our Chinese abroad.

Seeing a foreigner trembling with fright from Director Jiang made me feel super cool! "

The ghost movie 2 cannot be seen in China, and movie fans are quite disappointed.

Instead, they turned their attention to the ongoing filming of "Source Code"...

On the plane, Jiang Pei'an put away the newspaper delivered by Ning Hao, smiled and asked Zeng Li beside him:
"Lizi, you are quite popular abroad now.

Many foreign media praised your acting skills, how do you feel now? "

Zeng Li glanced at the full English newspaper in Jiang Pei'an's hand in confusion, shook his head, and said:

"I don't feel much. The movie won't be released in China, and it won't affect my life for the time being."

What Zeng Li said is true, if she plans to develop abroad, the explosion of Ghost Shadow 2 will indeed bring her a lot of fame.

As for domestic...

For example, Zeng Li's classmate, International Chapter, went abroad, and immediately turned on the strong woman mode after returning to China.

The coffee position is slowly rising.

But Zeng Li is different from her. The movie is popular abroad, but domestic audiences can't see it.

Last year Wang Quanam filmed a love movie called "Eclipse of the Moon".

The heroine is Yu Nan, who won the Best Actress Award at the Deauville Asian Film Festival in France last year for this film.

In 2006, with "Tuya's Marriage", she won the Best Actress Award at the Chicago International Film Festival and the Carthage International Film Festival.

In 2013, he served as a judge for the 60th Berlin International Film Festival and the 12th Busan International Film Festival
This is a very powerful actress who is popular abroad.

But apart from some hardcore movie fans in China, few people know about it.

This "Ghost Shadow 2" starring Zeng Li is famous in China.

Not as good as her soy sauce role in "Taken" brought.

Hearing Zeng Li's answer, Jiang Pei'an nodded and said:
"Then you plan to stay in the Federation of Trade Unions all the time? I have an entertainment company, why don't you come to my place and try?"

Hearing his words, Zeng Li was slightly taken aback, with complicated eyes.

She turned her head out of the window, looked at the clouds in the distance, and said slowly:
"I'm doing pretty well in the Art Troupe..."

Her facial features are correct and delicate, and she has the feeling of "clear water comes out of hibiscus".

Viewed from the side, she is elegant and intellectual, with warm and charming eyes occasionally showing...

Jiang Pei'an looked back, everyone has their own development, and he didn't force it.

It's just that as a friend, he wants to help each other.

However, Jiang Pei'an always felt that this girl was sometimes avoiding him for no reason.

This feeling is very strange, a bit inexplicable...

After the two chatted for a while, they saw that Zeng Li was always looking down at the English newspaper, not much interested in chatting.

Jiang Pei'an simply put down his seat and closed his eyes to rest.

Hearing a slight snoring sound next to her, Zeng Li put away the newspaper that she couldn't understand, and even brought it upside down.

She gently covered Jiang Pei'an with the thin quilt, and carefully tucked in the corners of the quilt.

Looking at Jiang Pei'an's sleeping face, Zeng Li murmured softly:

"How do you choose..."

Jiang Pei'an was woken up by the announcement on the plane, and when he woke up, he felt refreshed.

"It's finally here."

Jiang Pei'an stretched himself.

"What's the name of the company?"

Ok?
Jiang Pei'an looked curiously at Zeng Li who was beside him, not knowing why and said:

"what company?"

"Your company."

"Spark Media."

"Is it Jingjing's name?"

"No, I started it myself."

"Ah."

After finishing speaking, Zeng Li got up and took out her backpack from the luggage compartment, and walked out of the passage.

No, what do you mean?

Jiang Pei'an looked at Zeng Li's back in confusion.

After leaving the airport, the two left separately.

However, there was no fan pick-up from the airport, how could there be fans who are so idle and guarding the stars every day.

Jiang Pei'an glanced at his phone, there were several missed calls.

A few of them were called by the production crew, probably asking when he would land.

However, there was an unfamiliar number, and he called three times in a row. It seemed that there was something urgent.

So Jiang Pei'an dialed back.

The other party did not answer.

After Jiang Pei'an installed his mobile phone, he rushed to the shooting site of "Source Code".

"Director, you are back."

"Director Jiang."

"Welcome back Director Jiang, we've all seen the reports, amazing!"

As soon as we arrived at the studio, the staff immediately came to say hello.

Jiang Pei'an greeted them with a smile and came to the monitor.

"Director Jiang is back."

Chang Xiaoyang said with a smile.

"Well, nothing went wrong these two days, right?"

Jiang Pei'an asked.

Producer Gao Chengsheng walked over and said with a smile:
"What can go wrong, our director Chang is still very good, don't worry!"

Jiang Pei'an nodded, smiled and said:
"I am [-]% assured of Director Chang, but I am worried about whether there are any difficulties in the life of the crew.

Producer Gao, you are our logistics supporter, you can't lose the chain at critical moments. "

Jiang Pei'an and Gao Chengsheng have a good relationship, and the two often joke about it.

"Hey, why don't Director Jiang invest more in our crew and improve the crew's food?

After all, you are also one of the investors in the movie. "

Lao Gao rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

"Then you'd better go back to your boss Han Dong to ask for money, I don't have any money."

Jiang Pei'an spread his hands.

"Pretending to be poor."

Lao Gao said with contempt.

Chang Xiaoyang waited for the two of them to finish talking and laughing before interjecting:

"Director Jiang, during the two days you left, everyone's morale was unstable. Now that you're back, I can finally feel at ease.

With so many things to worry about every day, it is still comfortable to be an executive director, which saves trouble and worry. "

Gao Chengsheng nodded and continued:
"Director Chang is right, you are the backbone of the entire crew."

"Good guy, I've become the spiritual totem of the big guy."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

The three sat in front of the monitor, talking and laughing, and all the scenes in the car were over at this time.

Actors came to say hello to Jiang Pei'an one after another.

"Director Jiang, you've made us proud of our countrymen. I read the news reports, bull!"

Taking advantage of the time to touch up makeup, Hu Jun came over to say hello with a smile.

"Director Jiang did a good job, conquering all foreigners!"

Class 96 of Chinese Opera, headed by Dang Hao, also walked over and said with a smile.

"Director, can't your movie be released in China?"

The old lady Li Mingqi also came over and asked curiously.

"Because of the subject matter, it really doesn't work."

Jiang Pei'an replied with a smile.

"It's a pity, the domestic environment..."

"Hey, old lady, I don't want to talk about that."

Jiang Pei'an hastily smiled wryly.

"Hey, we didn't scold them, what are we afraid of?"

The old lady said nonchalantly.

"It has nothing to do with them. I thought about releasing it in China from the very beginning."

Jiang Pei'an explained.

"Oh, you young people still like to toss, but our movie is good.

I like your...imagination very much. After it is released, it must be no worse than the one you filmed abroad. "

"Hey, old lady, you praised me. I'm sorry to trouble you during this time."

The two had a conversation, and the set turned on again.

Jiang Pei'an's visit this time was just a formality, and the set was still controlled by Chang Xiaoyang.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, the studio was over.

When Jiang Pei'an returned to the villa in the West District, Gao Yuanyuan had already prepared a table of meals and was waiting.

"It smells so good, thanks for your hard work."

Jiang Pei'an put his arms around Gao Yuanyuan who was washing pots in the kitchen from behind.

"Hahaha, don't make trouble, itchy~
The bath water is all ready, go take a bath first, and I will reheat the food later. "

Gao Yuanyuan laughed.

"As ordered!"

Jiang Pei'an established the right path.

"You've worked hard too. All you cook are your favorite dishes. Go and wash up."

Gao Yuanyuan stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek tenderly.

"okay."

……

The so-called fullness and warmth, after eating, Jiang Pei'an looked at Gao Yuanyuan who was sitting at the dining table.

She was wearing a one-shoulder white dress, and she looked extremely pure.

A pair of big eyes are piercing, and the high bridge of the nose makes people's heart beat.

Straight black hair with shawl and long hair, with a star hairpin pinned to her ear, extremely sweet.

The already youthful appearance has added a bit of girlishness.

Meeting his fiery eyes, Gao Yuanyuan dodged a little:
"I, I'll take a bath first, you can watch TV on the sofa and have a rest."

After finishing speaking, he fled towards the bathroom.

Jiang Pei'an smiled wryly, she is already an old couple, why is this girl so shy.

After Gao Yuanyuan left, he was not idle, and got up to clean up the dishes.

"Hey, when will I build a dishwasher, I don't know if it's on the market now."

Jiang Pei'an was thinking while washing the dishes in the kitchen.

Suddenly, the phone in his trouser pocket rang.

He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was the number that called during the day.

"Hi, I'm Jiang Pei'an."

Jiang Pei'an took the channel.

There was no sound.

"Hello, can you hear me?"

Jiang Pei'an glanced at his phone, thinking it was a bad signal.

There was still no sound over there, just when Jiang Pei'an thought it was a prank.

Suddenly there was a soft voice:

"Brother director, can you be my godfather?"

What the hell?
Jiang Pei'an thought he heard it wrong, what is the godfather?
A movie starring Marlon Brando?

However, Jiang Pei'an's voice sounded familiar.

"Is it Anxi, how do you have my mobile phone number?"

"You gave it to Mom, I saw it."

It really was Anxi.

Jiang Pei'an glanced at the time, it was now 06:30 in the evening.

The difference between New York and Beijing is twelve hours, and the other side is 06:30.

The girl probably secretly called him from Liu Xiaoli's phone in the early morning.

"What do you mean by godfather?"

"There is a saying in Sicily, Italy, that the world is too dangerous for a child to have two fathers.

When a child reaches a certain age, parents will ask someone with prestige and authority or a friend to be their child's godfather. "

Anxi's slightly immature voice came from the microphone.

Jiang Pei'an smiled wryly, where did you learn all these strange knowledge?
An Qian didn't know Jiang Pei'an's mood at this time, she continued:

"I want to learn to be an actor, according to the Sicilian saying, you are a famous film director, very authoritative.

And there are reports about you in New York newspapers and on TV.

I want to learn from you, so I want you to be my godfather. "
