I'm not just a director

"720 million! Jiang Pei'an made history again!"

"The box office of "Source Code" was exposed on the first day, 720 million, the box office champion is scheduled!"

""Source Code", which has been very popular since its release, broke the box office on the first day, 720 million!"

Since "Source Code" was released, it can be said that the show is full!
Viewers and fans rate it very highly, in this case.

When the box office of "Source Code" broke out on the first day, almost everyone was excited!

There is no other reason, just because this is a rare first-day box office for mainland movies in recent years.

While others were still trying to break [-] million at the movie box office, Jiang Pei'an suddenly made a first-day box office and almost broke [-] million.

This is fucking outrageous!

When the outside world saw this result, they all showed different attitudes.

Needless to say, the media is going to make a big deal out of it, who makes people do well.

Audiences won't buy tickets if it's not good to watch.

Feng Xiaogang and other film directors who withdrew their files on New Year's Day secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't choose toughness.

Otherwise, I would really become a stepping stone for "Source Code" to move forward.

The only one who regrets is Li Xing, the director who chose to release against the wind, the big movie Little Demon Fairy.

His "Eye" and "Source Code" were both released on New Year's Day, what happened?
"Source Code" reached 720 million on its first day.

On the first day of "Fantasy Eyes", less than 10...

The news of Jiang Pei'an's return to Xinyang City was not disclosed to his family.

Although Han Shanping asked him to rest for a few more days, he had to get things done anyway.

Immediately after getting off from Xiguan Airport, Jiang Pei'an and his party were invited by the local government to attend a banquet.

The leader is the deputy mayor of Xinyang City in charge of propaganda.

"Welcome, welcome Director Jiang home. It's been a tiring journey, and it's been hard work."

Hearing the familiar hometown accent, Jiang Pei'an felt very cordial.

"Thank you for your warm reception."

Jiang Pei'an shook hands with the other party, and they exchanged pleasantries.

Originally, this kind of road show, a promotional activity, just needs to be connected with the local government on related matters.

There is no need for leadership-level reception at all.

But Jiang Pei'an is different, first of all, he is a rising star in Xinyang City in the entertainment industry in recent years.

The warm reception of the hometown is also reasonable.

On the other hand, Jiang Pei'an is also an important person who single-handedly promoted Quyi Town in Xinnan County.

It has made a great contribution to the literary and artistic development of the entire Xinyang City, and the mayor's welcome is also in line with the actual situation.

Jiang Pei'an got into the reception minibus and rushed to the hotel to rest.

In Xinyang City in early 2002, everything was in a state of waste.

The most prosperous streets in later generations also looked dilapidated at this time.

Xinyang City does not have any good direction for development. Its industry cannot compare with Ma'an City, and its tourism industry cannot compare with Huangshan City.

It is close to the Huaihe River to develop agriculture, but then again, the main force of most of the cities that specialize in development is also agriculture.

Therefore, Xinyang City is still a third-tier city until later generations, and it is particularly stable.

Looking at the street outside the car window, Jiang Pei'an was full of emotions.

No matter in later life or in this life, he seems to have never had a good look at this city.

Snow covered the green plants on both sides of the street. Pedestrians on both sides of the road shrank their heads and put their hands in the pockets of their cotton jackets, fearing the cold.

A few cars occasionally drove by, but most of them were walking tractors pulling goods.

Everything in this city is full of primitive wildness and vitality...

"Director Jiang, Ms. Gao, Director Gao, I respect you for this glass of wine, thank you for choosing Xinyang City.

It has been a long time since a big star like you has come to Xinyang City. On behalf of the people of Xinyang, I welcome you. "

The deputy mayor who was in charge of the propaganda outlet picked up his wine glass and said with a smile.

"Mayor Zhang, you are too kind. Xinyang is also my hometown. I thank my hometown for its support."

Jiang Pei'an raised his glass with a smile.

"Hahaha, Director Jiang is now a business card of our Xinyang.

The last time I went to the province to hold a symposium on literature and art, the leaders of the province also specifically mentioned you.

At that time, I was sitting under the stage, not to mention how powerful I was, I was so honored hahaha. "

The deputy mayor laughed.

"Thank you for the love of the leaders, I respect you."

"Director Jiang, I respect you."

The officials accompanying the wine also quickly picked up their glasses.

Xinyang people love wine, no matter whether it is business or officialdom, there is no joy without wine.

The way of drinking is also extremely domineering. For a banquet like this, it is basically a case of liquor brought over and placed in a conspicuous position.

Usually after a box of liquor is eaten, the atmosphere of the scene increases.

Jiang Pei'an is well aware of the drinking capacity of people in his hometown, especially since the people sitting at this table are all government officials.

If you drink it, the sky will be dark.

"Leader, let's pour a small glass into a big glass, and clear the table wine, okay?"

Basically, when this process is reached, it is either to end the liquor and drink other alcohol.

Or just the last drink before the end.

Jiang Pei'an picked up the wine dispenser, stood up and said with a smile:
"Thank you for your concern and support, and I want to have fun with you.

However, firstly, I can't drink enough, and secondly, I have business to do tomorrow.

I'm slow to sober up, and I delay things when I'm drunk. Let's end it? "

The leader in charge had something to say, Jiang Pei'an said first:

"I have already received the care and enthusiasm of the leaders. I am also from Xinyang. We will have a long and long future in Japan."

The deputy mayor laughed and said:

"Since Director Jiang has said so, let's stop today and welcome Director Jiang home again. Respect Director Jiang."

"Respect Director Jiang!"

"Dry!"

……

When Jiang Pei'an woke up again, it was already 05:30 in the afternoon.

The days are short in winter, and the sky outside the window is completely dark.

Jiang Pei'an shook his head, trying to wake up.

I drank a lot of wine at noon, and slept all afternoon, and my head was a little drowsy.

"Wake up, drink some tea."

Gao Yuanyuan came over with a book in one hand and tea in the other.

"Well, you didn't rest?"

Jiang Pei'an took a sip of tea, and his thirsty mouth was immediately moistened.

"It's not waiting for you to take me around here, I'm not familiar with this place.

I didn't know what to do when I went out, so I had to read in the hotel. "

Jiang Pei'an put his hand on her thigh and rubbed it, feeling the amazing elasticity under the other's pantyhose, he smiled and said:
"There's nothing interesting in Xinyang, just eat... Well, it's not bad to have a snack, let's go, I'll take you out for a stroll."

Jiang Pei'an remembered something and got up to get dressed.

"it is good."

Gao Yuanyuan said happily.

After the two were fully dressed, they went out hand in hand.

"Snowing?"

Under the street lamp, Gao Yuanyuan reached out to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky, and said in surprise.

"Well, the first snow in 2002 came earlier than usual."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

"What, I don't know how many snows this is, let's go.

Didn't you just invite me to eat your specialties? "

Gao Yuanyuan jumped to Jiang Pei'an's side, pushed his body and said with a smile.

"Okay, please eat something you have never eaten before."

"What is it?"

"You'll know when it arrives!"

Jiang Pei'an said mysteriously.

He took Gao Yuanyuan's hand and walked into the alley beside the street.

"Lu Ji... Gela Tiao?

Is this your Xinyang specialty snack? "

Gao Yuanyuan pointed to the front of the shop and said.

Jiang Pei'an nodded with a smile, if Xinyang really wanted some snacks.

It must be this thing.

But some people are used to eating this stuff, while others are unwilling to even take a bite.

Jiang Pei'an ordered two small bowls of Gela Tiao, and the noodles were served soon.

In Gao Yuanyuan's eyes, this is thick noodles with cucumber shreds, cooked bean sprouts, and sesame paste.

Good guy, this is Jajangmyeon.

Jiang Pei'an smiled slightly and said:
"I'll teach you how to eat."

As he said that, he put the chopsticks into the bowl, and thoroughly stirred the noodles and sesame sauce side dishes with the rough noodles.

"The dialect for 'stirring' in Xinyang is 'Jianla'. When eating this kind of noodles, all kinds of ingredients should be evenly mixed together, so it is called 'Gla Tiao'."

Jiang Pei'an explained while stirring the noodles.

After mixing Gao Yuanyuan's bowl, Jiang Pei'an pushed the bowl in front of her and said with a smile:
"Try?"

"it is good."

Gao Yuanyuan quickly tore apart the disposable chopsticks, picked up a piece of noodles and ate.

"Well, it's hard and unexpectedly chewy, but the taste is not bad."

Gao Yuanyuan said while eating.

Gratiao is a very popular delicacy in Xinyang.

Because of its heavy mouth and sufficient quantity, many workers especially like to eat it.

If it's summer, a bottle of cold beer paired with a big-name granola will definitely replenish your energy quickly.

Of course, those who don't like to drink can also have a bowl of soup, which tastes very good.

Some people in later generations suggested changing the name of Gela Tiao to "Dongpo Zhajiang Noodles" in order to spread the food.

Jiang Pei'an definitely disagreed with this idea.

When the spread of food is linked to the name, isn't the Gratiao very nice.

At least it looks foreign!

Gao Yuanyuan ate for a while, stroking his stomach, with sesame paste hanging from the corner of his mouth:
"I'm so stuffed, I can't eat anymore, this thing is really too full."

Jiang Pei'an laughed heartily, poured the gravy from her bowl into his own, and said with a smile:
"I feel full after eating this food. Let's go for a walk later?"

"Okay."

After eating, Jiang Pei'an took Gao Yuanyuan for a walk on the street, saying:

"After the road show is over tomorrow, I'm going home. You should come with me."

"what?"

Gao Yuanyuan looked at Jiang Pei'an in surprise, and lowered his head in embarrassment.

"What's the matter, don't you want to?"

"No, no, who is in your family?"

"My grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts have opened several supermarkets in the county. They will definitely go back when I go back tomorrow."

"I... I haven't prepared anything."

Gao Yuanyuan said with a mournful face.

"What are you preparing for?"

Jiang Pei'an was a little confused.

"I can't go empty-handed when I go to your house for the first time, what do your family like?

I'm tomorrow... no no, let's go buy some presents now! "

Gao Yuanyuan took Jiang Pei'an's hand and said.

Hearing this, Jiang Pei'an laughed dumbfoundedly, touched her head, and said:

"There is no need to prepare anything, there is nothing missing at home."

"No, it must be prepared, they all like it... Forget it, let's not ask you, let's go to the supermarket now, let's go!"

Gao Yuanyuan is the kind of person who takes action immediately once a decision is made.

Soon she dragged Jiang Pei'an to the mall.

"Sister, have you ever thought about how we bought so many things, how to bring them back tomorrow?"

Watching Gao Yuanyuan keep taking things from the shelves, Jiang Pei'an smiled wryly.

"What are you afraid of? Let someone send it home tomorrow."

Gao Yuanyuan didn't take this matter to heart at all, and continued to choose gifts.

"Fine……"

The two scribbled in the mall for a long time, and finally Gao Yuanyuan bought a lot of things before giving up with satisfaction.

Looking at the hill-like gifts, Jiang Pei'an had no choice but to ask the people in the mall to deliver them to his place of residence.

……

The next day, Xinyang Grand Theater.

Jiang Pei'an brought Gao Yuanyuan, Gao Chengsheng and the crew to the scene.

"Yuanyuan!"

"Director Jiang!"

"Yuanyuan, you are so beautiful!"

As soon as the crew entered the stage, the audience immediately cheered.

What Jiang Pei'an didn't expect was that Gao Yuanyuan seemed to be more popular here.

"Thank you for your support, to be honest, as a Xinyang person, I heard your Mandarin accent mixed with Xinyang.

Well, I am not afraid of the sky, I am not afraid of the earth, but I am afraid that the people of Xinyang will speak Mandarin. "

Xinyang dialect is similar to the official dialect of the Central Plains, and it’s okay if you listen to it too much, but it feels very rustic when you put it in Mandarin.

Especially Mandarin with a Xinyang accent always feels very awkward.

For details, you can refer to friends who work outside, how they feel about speaking Mandarin when they return home during the Chinese New Year.

"Hahaha, Jiang Pei'an, I like you!"

"Jiang Pei'an, didn't you bring a daughter-in-law home?"

The audience who was complained by Jiang Pei'an about his accent laughed and shouted directly to the stage in Xinyang dialect.

"I like you too, I'm too busy to find a wife every day, don't ask..."

Jiang Pei'an also used Xinyang dialect to interact with the audience.

"Okay, I won't tell you any more, you all know the purpose of coming back this time.

The movie "Source Code" I ordered was released, and I will not speak out because everyone is a family member.

Looks good, buy tickets, support! "

"Hahaha, Director Jiang, can you show some face?"

"A man only said six words, and let me pay for his actions!"

"Must support!"

……

After the promotion in Xinyang City was completed, Jiang Pei'an took Gao Yuanyuan back to his hometown in the afternoon.

As for Gao Chengsheng and others, they directly bought a plane ticket back to the capital.

When someone asked where did the director and heroine go?

Gao Chengsheng waved his hands impatiently and said:
"The director took the heroine to the scene, don't ask nonsense, and don't talk nonsense."

It kind of means that there is no silver 300 taels here.

"It really made my daughter-in-law say it right, these two people are really a bit tricky."

Looking at the backs of the two getting into the car, Gao Chengsheng said to himself...

Jiang Pei'an was driving a car borrowed from the city government, while Gao Yuanyuan sat in the passenger seat with some anxiety.

"What's there to be nervous about, the ugly daughter-in-law also has to see her in-laws, right?"

Jiang Pei'an laughed.

"You're ugly..."

Gao Yuanyuan rolled his eyes at him, and turned his head away angrily.

After a while, she turned her head to look at Jiang Pei'an, wrinkled her face, and said aggrievedly:
"But I'm just nervous, what should I do..." (End of this chapter)
