I'm not just a director

Chapter 191 News from the Other Side of the Ocean

Charles and his party consisted of six people, including Old Brown.

To Jiang Pei'an's surprise, Old Brown's granddaughter was also in the team.

However, Jiang Pei'an was not surprised when he remembered that Old Brown had said that his granddaughter liked Chinese culture very much.

The way Jiang Pei'an entertained them was very simple.

Quanjude, let's go.

Although roast duck is not surprising or even criticized a lot in the eyes of Chinese people.

But in the eyes of foreigners, this way of eating is still very novel.

I don't care how the food is, the picture shows this freshness.

In the box, Charles, Old Brown, Old Brown's granddaughter Peggy, and three entourages sat on one side of the table.

Jiang Pei'an and Su Qing were accompanied by Ning Hao.

"Oh, Jiang, I've only seen Beijing roast duck in gourmet newspapers or Chinese movies."

Watching the chef slice the golden roast duck, Old Brown said in amazement.

Jiang Pei'an picked up a burrito, demonstrated with a smile and said:
"Mr. Charles, old Mr. Brown, let me introduce you how to eat roast duck.

First spread a layer of roast duck special sauce on the top of the burrito, and put it into the previous burrito.

Then pick up a piece of roast duck, dip it in the sauce, put it in the cake, and roll up the sides.

The last step is to start eating, take a bite, and instantly fill your mouth with the aroma of roast duck.

The reason why the onion and sauce are added is because it will not make the roast duck look greasy.

Mr. Charles, please. "

Jiang Pei'an delivered the rolled roast duck to Charles.

Charles was obviously absent-minded, he was not as interested in Chinese culture as Old Brown was.

What he cares about is the result of this trip.

But obviously, Jiang Pei'an didn't intend to get right to the point, but kept stuffing the rolled roast duck into his hands.

"Jiang, thank you very much for your hospitality and allowing us to eat such delicious food.

But Jiang, I care more about when "Chain Saw 2" will start up than the delicious roast duck?

You also know that Lionsgate attaches great importance to this project, and the headquarters are constantly urging it, and..."

"Mr. Charles."

Jiang Pei'an rolled the roast duck leisurely and said:

"While "Chainsaw" is great, I don't want to mention him at dinner.

You eat another duck roll, and you'll miss it when you get back to Vancouver. "

"Yes, Jiang, but I've already eaten several, and I almost have one..."

Charles said hastily.

Jiang Pei'an smiled slightly and said:
"When you eat roast duck, you can't say how many you have eaten, how many you have eaten, or how close you are, that's what a layman would say.

You should say how many rolls you ate!This will not make people laugh. "

Hearing Jiang Pei'an gossip about his words, Charles almost went crazy.

Am I telling you about the roast duck?

I asked when the filming of "Chainsaw 2" could start.

Others make fun of me?
Will I still eat this thing when I go back to Vancouver?

Compared to Charles' boredom, Old Brown was much calmer.

He rolled the roast duck, eating it with a face of enjoyment, and said in his mouth:

"Huaxia's culture is really extensive and profound. I didn't expect that there are so many specialties in eating roast duck."

"Mr. Brown, we didn't come to China for roast duck."

Charles looked at Old Brown with hatred and said.

Old Brown smiled and said:
"Mr. President, I just came here this time to bring my granddaughter to experience the Chinese culture.

After all, I'm retired, right?Oh, almost forgot..."

Old Brown looked at Jiang Pei'an, smiled and said:
"By the way, visit my friend, eh, Jiang?"

"Of course, Huaxia welcomes you."

Jiang Pei'an nodded.

Hearing Old Brown and Jiang Pei'an sing together, Charles felt that he was about to explode.

He even had the urge to lift the table and leave.

Damn it, old Brown has mutinied.

Just a roast duck bought him off!
However, Charles is obviously superior in being able to sit in the position of president of Lionsgate.

He tried his best to calm down his anger and restrain himself.

Overall the meal was a pleasant one.

After Jiang Pei'an sent them to the hotel where they were staying, he made an appointment to climb the Great Wall together tomorrow and took Su Qing and Ning Hao back.

"Boss, why don't you talk to them more?"

Su Qing asked puzzledly.

"Talk about what?"

Jiang Pei'an fiddled with his mobile phone, raised his head and asked.

"The capital injection of "Ghost Shadow 2", you probably forgot, right?"

Su Qing looked at him suspiciously and asked.

Her boss often does some unreasonable things, and she feels deeply about this.

"How can I forget, now is not the time, Charles can't sit still.

We are now waiting for work at leisure, let him do it first and get angry for a while.

It's not in our interest to get down to business so quickly. "

Jiang Pei'an said slowly.

"correct."

Jiang Pei'an suddenly remembered something and said:

"You arrange two photographers to follow us tomorrow, remember to take more photos of us when we climb the Great Wall."

"Director Jiang, I can introduce you to the person you want to take pictures of. The technique is definitely good enough."

Ning Hao, who was driving, said suddenly.

Jiang Pei'an shook his head and said:
"It's not what you think, President Su, I'll leave this matter to you.

Tomorrow let the photographers pretend not to know us, as if they were tourists going to climb the Great Wall. "

"okay, I get it."

Su Qing nodded.

……

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Pei'an and his party have already arrived at Badaling Great Wall.

This time Su Qing didn't come over, but Ning Hao drove to accompany Jiang Pei'an.

Although it is a hot summer, the weather is gloomy today, but it doesn't feel hot.

"Mr Charles, old Mr Brown, this is the Great Wall.

There is a saying in our country that if you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero.

On the one hand, the Great Wall has an extraordinary position in the hearts of our Chinese people.

On the other hand, it is also used as a metaphor that if you cannot overcome difficulties and achieve your goals, then you are not a real hero. "

Standing at the foot of the Great Wall, Jiang Pei'an introduced while looking at the endless long dragon.

"Peggy, our trip really didn't come in vain. There are so many fascinating places in Huaxia."

Old Brown sighed to his granddaughter who was supporting him.

"Yes Grandpa, I even want to settle here."

Paige, who was tall and blond, nodded.

Charles has already started climbing the Great Wall.

If it wasn't for wanting to get close to Jiang Pei'an, he wouldn't want to climb the Great Wall in summer.

This is not looking for abuse, how comfortable it is to stay in an air-conditioned room blowing air-conditioning.

Thinking of this, Charles couldn't help feeling sad.

If I didn't come to Huaxia, I wouldn't have to climb the Great Wall in summer, and I wouldn't have to eat some damn roast duck.

And he has been perfunctorily ignored by this damn Chinese.

The more the president of Lions Gate thought about it, the angrier he became, and the pace of his feet quickened unconsciously.

"Look, how hard our President Charles is climbing."

Old Brown looked enviously at Charles' vigorous figure.

"Perhaps Mr. Charles wants to be a hero."

Jiang Pei'an smiled.

After everyone climbed the Great Wall, they breathed the fresh air and felt extremely satisfied.

There are many tourists on the Great Wall, and from time to time someone is taking pictures with a camera.

Jiang Pei'an noticed that two people with cameras were shooting in his direction from time to time.

It should be the two people arranged by Su Qing.

He thought for a while, walked to the panting Charles, and said:
"Mr. Charles, I have already written the script for "Chainsaw 2"."

"Really?"

Charles asked quickly.

Charles was a little excited. This was the first time that Jiang Pei'an took the initiative to talk to him about "Chain Saw 2" after he came to Huaxia.

"Of course, but I would like to change the way of cooperation, if there is sincerity in joining Lionsgate."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

"What kind of cooperation method? Didn't we cooperate happily before?"

Charles asked hastily.

"Of course it's fun, but since it's cooperation, both of us must get corresponding benefits.

But in fact, as far as the current cooperation is concerned, I really can't talk about any interests at all. "

Charles vaguely knew what Jiang Pei'an was going to say.

He hurriedly said:

"Jiang, we have indeed shown our utmost sincerity.

You know we have never had any Chinese as a film producer before you.

I have given you too much favor. "

"Mr. Charles, I must remind you that I got the position of producer in exchange for my grades, and it was written in black and white in the contract."

Charles thought for a while, and finally asked slowly:

"What kind of cooperation do you want to change?"

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:

"It's very simple. I want to invest in the filming of "Chain Saw 2". I get no less than half of the corresponding share."

"impossible!"

As soon as Jiang Pei'an said his words, Charles directly waved his hand and refused.

"Why not?"

Jiang Pei'an asked back.

"Lionsgate has never had a precedent like this!

Impossible, absolutely impossible, not to mention that the headquarters will never agree to your request, which is ridiculous. "

Charles said emotionally.

Jiang Pei'an waved his hand to signal him to calm down, and continued:

"Precedents are meant to be broken. You just said that before me, there was no precedent for Lionsgate to let Chinese people be producers, but isn't there already?"

"That's different!"

"What's the difference?"

"I……"

Charles was a little speechless.

What's the difference? You don't know what it is?
You want to divide up our box office profits, this is obviously unrealistic!
But Charles obviously hasn't been dazzled by Jiang Pei'an's words, he restrained himself, took a deep breath and said:
"Jiang, is this why you have been reluctant to start shooting "Chain Saw 2"?"

Jiang Pei'an nodded and said:
"That's pretty much what it means."

"Okay, I see, I can't make the decision alone, I need to report your request to the headquarters.

But Jiang, I don't think the headquarters will agree to your request. "

Charles said slowly.

"Then I'll wait for the good news from Mr. President."

Jiang Pei'an pretended not to hear the latter sentence, and said with a smile.

Report the appeal to the headquarters?

Probably I want to use a trick to drag words, and finally use other things as bargaining chips to impress myself.

Jiang Pei'an is quite familiar with Lionsgate.

It's okay, there are always times when you are in a hurry.

……

"The President of Lionsgate Films Visits China and Climbs the Badaling Great Wall with Jiang Pei'an"

"The president of Lionsgate traveled thousands of miles to visit China, and it turned out to be for Jiang Pei'an"

"Ghost Shadow 2 has been silent for a long time, Lionsgate is in a hurry! "

The next day, several well-known film media in China suddenly reported Charles and his party's visit to China.

The newspapers published Jiang Pei'an, Lionsgate President Charles, Sr. Brown, Peggy and his party chatting and laughing at the Badaling arena.

As Jiang Pei'an is a well-known figure in the Chinese film industry, as long as there is news about him, it will definitely cause discussions.

Then someone made an analysis:
"Judging from current reports, Lionsgate Film and Television President Charles' visit to China can be said to be aimed at Director Jiang.

We all know that Director Jiang first became famous in Hollywood when he filmed "Chain Saw 1" in Lionsgate Films.

At the same time, Director Jiang's debut film "Ghost Shadow 1" was also released by Lionsgate.

Now "Ghost Shadow 2" has achieved good results abroad and is about to be released, but there is no news about "Chain Saw 2" as the successor.

Judging from what Director Jiang personally told at the foreign promotion conference of "Taken", "Chain Saw 2" will definitely be filmed.

But why it has not been turned on for a long time, I think this is also one of the important reasons why the president of Lionsgate came to Huaxia to meet with Director Jiang in person.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Director Jiang has other plans, maybe he wants to change the partner company.

Judging from Charles rushing to Huaxia in a hurry, maybe it was to keep Director Jiang..."

Not long after this manuscript was published, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.

"Damn it, director Jiang is so awesome, he has always been a director from our country who goes to Hollywood to make movies in a humble way.

Unexpectedly, there would be a Hollywood film company personally approaching us and begging us to make a film! "

"The glory of the Huaxia film director, Director Jiang really flattered us too much!"

"Hey, it's a pity that neither the "Ghost Shadow" series nor "Chain Saw" can be seen in China..."

Following the release of this post, netizens commented one after another. At this time, another piece of news broke out:
""Warner Bros. Invited Jiang Pei'an to Film Chainsaw 2!""

""Paramount Pictures has privately contacted Jiang Pei'an, expressing willingness to succeed Lionsgate in releasing Chainsaw 2!""

"Universal Pictures, not to be outdone, has already sent someone to contact Jiang Pei'an to discuss the shooting of Chainsaw 2"

The news on the Internet is getting hotter and hotter, and the more it spreads, the more evil it gets.

According to this momentum, almost every one of the Big Six in Hollywood is vying for "Chain Saw 2".

But no one doubts the authenticity of these news. On the one hand, "Chain Saw 2" is worth fighting for.

After all, "Chain Saw 1" is proud of the world with a global box office of 1.78 million US dollars.

You know, this is a production cost that costs only more than 100 million US dollars.

Isn't it normal for such a high rate of return to cause several big fights?
Of course, compared to "Chain Saw 2" whose performance is unknown.

What Hollywood film companies value more is Jiang Pei'an's excellent creative ability.

His debut is the pinnacle, and Jiang Pei'an, who has a box office of 2 million U.S. dollars, can't be qualified by a "Chain Saw [-]".

By the way, with the addition of "Ghost Shadow 2", he is now the producer and director with a box office of [-] million.

On the other hand, if these rumors are false, why can't the president of Lionsgate come to China in person?

These news became more and more fierce, and even drifted to the other side of the ocean...
