I'm not just a director

2001 12 Month 31 Day.

Today is the last day of 2001.

All parts of the country have entered the atmosphere of celebrating New Year's Day, and the snow on both sides of the road reflects the festive red color of the lanterns.

Many young people gathered together to prepare for the New Year's Eve.

Starfire Entertainment has also been on holiday since getting off work today.

Jiang Pei'an sat alone in the office.

"Mr. Jiang, haven't you rushed to the venue yet?"

A voice suddenly sounded in the office, and Jiang Pei'an looked back, it was Zhou Peng who was in the fire recently.

A piece of "Hello, Huaxia" allowed Zhou Peng to gain a firm foothold in the entertainment circle.

Her beautiful voice, excellent singing skills and classic lyrics make her the hottest singer in the Chinese music scene.

It can be said that Zhou Peng is an instant hit, and now he has to cover up when he goes out, otherwise he will be recognized by fans.

The most intuitive feeling is that when walking on the street, you can hear her songs such as "Do you know, do you know" everywhere.

Especially the barber shop, who prefers current pop songs...

"Well, we'll be leaving later. Tonight's work will be hard on you. Why didn't you go to the venue with President Su?"

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

Now that Zhou Peng is very famous, Jiang Pei'an arranged for her to sing at the premiere ceremony in the evening.

Although Jiang Pei'an doesn't need to rely on Zhou Peng's fame, it's nice to be able to give fans a little surprise.

Zhou Peng smiled and said:
"Boss Su said she would stay up late at night, so she seized the time to go back early for a beauty sleep, and she left just after get off work."

Jiang Pei'an nodded, and after seeing that the time was almost up, he picked up the car keys and went downstairs.

"Then let's go to the venue to have a look."

"it is good."

……

The premiere ceremony of the movie "Source Code" was held on New Year's Eve, and related promotional posters had been released long before New Year's Eve.

The media's marketing methods are also emerging in an endless stream. What about watching "Source Code" on New Year's Eve to start a year of science fiction.

There are also similar to watching the most awesome sci-fi movies with your favorite ta.

Anyway, the headlines of the media are doing everything they can to attract attention.

When Jiang Pei'an arrived at the scene, the theater was already full of people.

The media, including the front desk, had already set up the machines and were ready to shoot. As soon as Jiang Pei'an and Zhou Peng got out of the car, they attracted the attention of many people.

"Director Jiang, what do you think of today's premiere ceremony?"

"Director Jiang, judging from the three trailers of "Source Code", this movie involves the conjecture of parallel universes.

I heard that you are preparing for the next science fiction movie, is it "Source Code 2"?Will the concept of parallel universes continue? "

"Hello, Pengpeng, please tell me about your feelings after the new album became popular!"

"Pengpeng, do you have anything to say to the fans..."

Both Jiang Pei'an and Zhou Peng have been popular recently, and the topic of them has never stopped.

Jiang Pei'an was no stranger to this kind of scene, but Zhou Peng, who had always been a little transparent before, obviously couldn't stand the reporters who were chasing after him.

"Sorry, we have to go backstage to prepare for the ceremony, and we will be interviewed later."

While perfunctory to the media, Jiang Pei'an led Zhou Peng to the backstage.

At this time, Gao Chengsheng was making arrangements in the background, and Jiang Pei'an went over to say hello.

"Pei'an, the guests invited to the premiere ceremony will arrive later. Also, Director Zhang called just now and said that he will not be able to make it to today's premiere. Let me apologize to you."

Gao Chengsheng held the invitation list of guests and said.

Jiang Pei'an smiled and nodded, saying:

"Director Zhang has already talked to me on the phone before, and he is indeed busy enough."

In fact, it was not only Zhang Yimou who called him.

Chang Xiaoyang also called to talk about it.

Jiang Pei'an can also understand, after all, "Hero" is a big production.The shooting cycle is definitely not short.

"Sister, you're here too, what's going on with you?"

Backstage, Jiang Pei'an saw Yu Feihong saying.

Her eyebrows and eyes were a little tired, and she looked a little dazed.

The domestic box office of "Love Has an Afterlife" was finally fixed at 300 million.

As a niche love movie, "Love has an afterlife" can achieve such a result, which is definitely beyond many people's expectations.

Yu Feihong herself was also very satisfied with the result, but she listened to Jiang Pei'an's suggestion.

During this period of time, I have been running abroad, and I want to sell "Love Has an Afterlife" abroad.

Yu Feihong nodded and said:

"You are right. The Norwegian side is very interested in "Love Has an Afterlife". Now we are entering the negotiation stage. At the same time, the Korean side said that they can talk about it."

"Well, it's a good start. How much it can sell depends on the methods of those film producers. South Korea and Norway must not run away."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

"Well, that's what I thought too."

The topic between the two didn't go deep, and guests kept coming to say hello backstage.

Jiang Pei'an nodded apologetically to Yu Feihong and went to receive the guests.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the premiere ceremony of "Source Code" officially opened.

At the beginning, Han Shanping, the vice chairman of China Film Group, took the stage to speak.

Han Shanping is not a pedantic person, and his speech is quite interesting at the leadership level.

However, leaders at Han Shanping's level often have some private goods in their interesting words.

"In the end, there is a long way to go, and I will search for it up and down. The development of Chinese films must be inseparable from the support of outstanding filmmakers.

It is even more inseparable from the audience friends who are sitting here. I know that everyone is not here this time to listen to the bragging and flattery of an old man like me.

For the next time, let us hand over the stage to Director Jiang. "

After Han Shanping went down, Jiang Pei'an in casual clothes came up.

Han Shanping's official position is very big, but the audience doesn't know it.

As soon as Jiang Pei'an took the stage, the audience immediately cheered.

"Ahem, everyone, keep a low profile, when my boss came on stage just now, none of you made such loud voices.

As a result, I was so enthusiastic as soon as I came on stage, which made my boss very embarrassing, right?

Maybe after the premiere, he will give me small shoes when he goes back. "

Jiang Pei'an stood on the stage and joked.

Hearing this, the audience immediately booed, and Han Shanping couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, no kidding, Director Han just said a lot of industry-oriented things.

We definitely can't match the leadership's high-level view. Next, I will introduce to you the protagonists in our movie. "

After speaking, Jiang Pei'an called Hu Jun, Zeng Li, Gao Yuanyuan, Wang Jingsong and others who were sitting in the audience to the stage.

It is not the first time that Zeng Li and Gao Yuanyuan have appeared in Jiang Pei'an's movie.

They are also affectionately called "Ms. Ann" by Jiang Pei'an's fans.

The two beauties stood beside Jiang Pei'an, one on the left and the other on the right, looking like they were embracing each other.

Seeing the three of them in the same frame, the fans in the audience cheered even more.

"Go, go, what are you coaxing, have you never seen a handsome guy or a beautiful girl?"

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile while holding the microphone.

"Appreciate~"

Jiang Pei'an's words made the fans boo in the audience.

Hu Jun made up his sword with a smile and said:
"It seems that Jing Song and I shouldn't be on stage. How can a director steal the limelight from an actor?"

Not to be outdone, Jiang Pei'an said:

"When watching a movie later and you show off, I, the director, will work hard to serve you well.

Is it okay to enjoy the love of the audience now? "

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Next, several main creators talked about some interesting things during the filming process.

Coupled with Jiang Pei'an's gags, the premiere was also very interesting.

The audience in the audience shouted directly, watching Director Jiang's press conference was like listening to cross talk.

Later, when Zhou Peng came out from the backstage, it pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.

As the most popular singer recently, Zhou Peng's arrival is definitely a surprise for movie fans.

You must know that Zhou Peng's "Knowledge, Know" is still at the top of the original music list.

Three songs like "Peach Blossom Nuo", "Rolling Bead Curtain" and "Half Pot Yarn" are located in the third, fifth, and seventh positions respectively.

It is absolutely unheard of for the same album to have four songs in the top ten of the charts in recent years.

This also confirms from the side how popular Zhou Peng is now!

After the song "Knowledge" was sung, the highlight of the premiere came.

Movie!

When all the lights in the theater were turned off, the entire venue immediately fell silent.

After the title information has passed, it officially enters the movie content...

"Pei'an, are you sure this time?"

Jiang Pei'an sat beside Han Shanping.

Hearing what Han Shanping said, Jiang Pei'an certainly understood what he meant.

Now he smiled and said:
"Han Dong, judging from the feedback of the three trailers, there is hope for us to exceed [-] million.

But I dare not guarantee it with you. After all, the market is ever-changing, and we can only say that we will do our best to obey the destiny. "

Han Shanping shook his head and said:
"I can't say that. After all, we have no competitors throughout the New Year's Day. From the perspective of the market, we have great hopes..."

Having said that, Han Shanping patted Jiang Pei'an on the shoulder and said:

"Of course, as a director, you only need to present the content perfectly. The marketing aspect...

I will arrange it, and this time it must break through [-] million! "

Looking at Han Shanping's serious expression, Jiang Pei'an cursed in his heart:

It seems that Lao Han has a deep obsession with breaking [-] million...

What does it mean to hand over the marketing to him?
Before Jiang Pei'an could fully understand Han Shanping's words, he was immediately interrupted by the audience's voice.

He looked up, and the content of the movie happened to enter the moment when the train exploded for the first time.

"This explosion is too real!"

"Although I have seen the trailer before, I still want to say, Director Jiang is amazing, explosions are art!"

"Indeed, I didn't expect to see such realistic special effects in domestic movies in my lifetime!"

The audience chattered in the theater, but Jiang Pei'an smiled slightly.

For these explosion effects, Hualong Digital can be said to work overtime to do them.

If they can't even do these things, it can only be said that they have eaten this bowl of rice for nothing!

It was also after the first explosion that the entire story of "Source Code" began to become compact through the time loop structure.

After the amazing special effects passed, the audience began to pay more attention to the changes in the plot of the movie...

The sound of the pen tip rubbing against the straight surface was heard continuously.

Many film critics or columnists are taking notes:

Jiang Pei'an is a very smart director, he knows how to mobilize the emotions of the audience.

Like "72 Hours" in "Taken".

Jiang Pei'an directly arranged an "8-minute rescue method" this time.

What can you do in 8 minutes?Among them, the most difficult space-time problem needs to be solved.

Therefore, Jiang Pei'an set up the concept of parallel time and space in the movie.

Having the protagonist experience the same events over and over again creates a temporal loop.

Hu Jun is forced to go back in time repeatedly in a kind of virtual reality, and in each cycle, he tries to prevent a major event from happening.

This time loop is not only the basic plot of the movie, but also an important mechanism to promote the development of the plot and the change of characters.

Repeatedly experiencing events increases the sense of tension and suspense, allowing the audience to feel the oppression of time and the unsolvable situation faced by the protagonist..."

The entire film of "Source Code" is only 93 minutes long. When the protagonists Hu Jun and Gao Yuanyuan walk hand in hand in the world of "Source Code", the whole film ends...

"This is the end? What does the ending mean!"

"It's so fucking exciting, I want to watch it again!"

"To be honest, Director Jiang really surprised me this time.

The special effects that everyone paid attention to at the beginning can only be said to be the icing on the cake in this movie.

The most awesome thing is the plot! "

"Second brush and go!"

All the lights in the cinema were turned on, and everyone immediately stood up and applauded.

"I want to ask everyone, did you enjoy watching the movie?"

Jiang Pei'an took the microphone and said on the stage.

"Enjoyed!"

"Hahaha, if you enjoy it, please recommend it to your friends, thank you for your support!"

Jiang Pei'an stood on the stage and bowed deeply.

"Don't worry, I will definitely support Director Jiang!"

"Director Jiang, breaking the billion mark is just around the corner!"

"With an awesome plot and an awesome director, it's hard for the movie to be a hit!"

Jiang Pei'an stretched out his hand, suppressed the restless audience, and began to enter the reporter's questioning session:
"Director Jiang, I have a question that I don't understand.

At the end of the movie, the hero dismantles the bomb and resolves the crisis.

The female officer also pressed the stop button, but why didn't the hero die, and sent a text message to the female officer.

Why is the hero still in the machine, and why did the female officer at the end receive a text message? "

A reporter stood up and asked.

The reporter asked the voices of many viewers.

After watching the movie, this is their biggest doubt.

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:
"There are many kinds of theories that can be derived from this setting, I will say one casually, but you should not take it seriously, it is just for discussion.

In the setting, the source code is very powerful, and it creates a parallel world.

If the male protagonist creates a new parallel world every time he goes back, there may be different results in that parallel world.

In the end, the hero stopped the explosion, and he survived in that parallel world.

Although it is not the reality at the beginning, it is also truly in another space..."

After hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, the audience became even more confused.

The reporter adjusted his glasses and asked:

"What you're saying is that we might as well live in a world of 'source code'.

Or there are many parallel time and space like us? "

Jiang Pei'an laughed and said:

"You need to use your own imagination for this, and the ending can be interpreted in many ways..." (End of this chapter)
