I'm not just a director

Chapter 223
The linkage effect brought by "Source Code" breaking through [-] million is far more than that.

The word breaking 2002 million is very eye-catching no matter what line of work you do in [-].

This is a number, and it is also a symbol that can only be achieved by doing the best in your career.

Domestic reports on Jiang Pei'an are simply overwhelming.

I thought that breaking [-] million would fade into people's sight after a few days.

But people have a herd mentality, and the news that "Source Code" exceeded [-] million yuan spread, which brought about an even crazier movie-watching wave.

"People's movie box office has exceeded [-] million, what does this mean? It means that the movie itself is good enough, and it is right to follow the public!"

Most people walk into the cinema with this mentality.

At the same time, Jiang Pei'an himself has also received great attention.

Many media have sent him interview invitations, and major TV stations are also trying their best to get him on the show.

Even some brands have begun to seek him endorsement.

"Boss, this is an invitation to endorse Pepsi, as well as invites to endorse Youngor, Heilan Home, Gree Air Conditioning, Melatonin, Amway Nutrilite and other well-known brands."

Su Qing walked into Jiang Pei'an's office with a stack of documents.

Jiang Pei'an is different from ordinary directors. He is both a director and an actor, and also serves as a singer and music producer.

Therefore, he has a very high exposure, and his commercial value is not comparable to that of other directors.

Naturally, these brands have also noticed this, and the endorsement prices have also been quite generous.

Jiang Pei'an flipped through a few files casually, and said with a smile:
"The selection of brands is up to you, and my endorsement is mainly in clothing, home appliances and men's accessories.

Don't get involved in food and health products and other fields for the time being, the water is too deep. "

There are many stars in later generations who have turned over because of food endorsement, Jiang Pei'an didn't want to attract criticism because of that little endorsement fee.

Su Qing asked with some puzzlement:
"In terms of food, I understand your concerns, but health products are different, and their performance in the market is very eye-catching.

Taking melatonin as an example, the sales volume of melatonin alone reached more than 1 million yuan in January last year.

It set a new record in the single-month sales of a single product in the Huaxia health care products industry. In the first six months of the same year, it achieved an output value of 6 million yuan and a profit of 4.1 million yuan. "

Su Qing obviously analyzed the health care products industry, and she continued:
"Amway Nutrilite is a global brand, and its sales volume reached 20 billion yuan last year.

Accounting for one-sixth of the total sales volume of Huaxia's health care products, Amway will soon become the leader in the Huaxia health care products market if nothing goes wrong.

Boss, brand endorsement is a process of mutual achievement.

Brands need the exposure of celebrities, and we also need to use brands to further expand the endorsement market. "

Jiang Pei'an shook his head and said:
"I understand what you said, but we can't just look at the eyes when we cooperate with the brand side. The health care product industry itself has its own thunderstorm attributes."

For example, Melatonin only occupies major markets by virtue of its marketing attributes. You have to ask what effect does it have?
Nothing.

And just this year, Shi Yuzhu, the creator of Melatonin, will also sell Melatonin at a price of 3 million yuan and leave.

Melatonin, which left Shi Yuzhu, went farther and farther on the road of escape, and the advertisements became more and more exaggerated.

Although Amway Nutrilite is an international brand, it will also fall into the genetically modified storm in the future.

After the development of the health care products industry in later generations, it will always be associated with topics such as "elderly being deceived" and "pyramid selling".

It can be said to be notorious.

Jiang Pei'an couldn't tell Su Qingming about these things, he could only elaborate on the development direction of the industry.

"Well, I understand, then I will look for brands to cooperate with from the categories you just mentioned."

Su Qing thought for a while and said.

"Okay, when the time comes, draw up a list of endorsements for me."

"Alright Mr. Jiang."

After Su Qing left, Jiang Pei'an's cell phone rang.

Jiang Pei'an answered the phone, and a deep and powerful voice came from the opposite side:

"It can be regarded as getting through your phone. It's not easy, busy man."

Hearing this, Jiang Pei'an smiled helplessly and said:

"Some time ago, I didn't dare to turn on my mobile phone at all. Director Zhang, are you okay over there?"

Zhang Yimou laughed and said:

"Exporting the first commercial film to exceed [-] million yuan, with this halo, it must be the focus of attention. Now I'm a little jealous of you, kid hahaha."

Hearing this, Jiang Pei'an smiled slightly and said:

"I'm taking advantage of time. If you wait for your "Hero" to be released, I'm afraid the first movie with a box office of over [-] million will be yours."

Jiang Pei'an didn't flatter. In fact, after the release of "Hero" in later generations, it raked in 1.3 million box office in just ten days.

This is much faster than "Source Code" breaking through [-] million.

Lao Mouzi said to himself:

"Breaking [-] million is not a big problem. The problem is that I didn't catch up and missed a good time."

Lao Mouzi has this confidence. After all, "Hero" cost 3000 million US dollars in investment alone, and he will lose everything if the film does not exceed [-] million.

In other words, just breaking [-] million is not enough to pay back the cost, and we have to rush towards higher results.

"You did a good job in this movie. If you want to say that the flaw is probably the cast."

The old Mouzi said with a smile.

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:
"I also want to invite big-name actors. The key is that not all big-name stars have been invited away by Director Zhang."

"Hahaha, it's a bit irresponsible of you kid to say that. I haven't started filming yet when you guys finished filming."

The old Mouzi scolded with a smile.

"The main issue is cost. Our small business is not as rich as Director Zhang."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

Lao Mouzi's use of actors is very interesting. His protagonists are either vegans or all-stars.

A cast like "Hero" is a record that no one can break even in later generations.

"Why do I get the feeling that you kid is cursing me around the corner... Don't joke around, how is your new movie preparation going?

I heard that you are holding back your strength to fight me in the ring. "

Is Lao Mouzi here to spy on the military situation?
Jiang Pei'an has nothing to keep secret, he is an insider, and Lao Mouzi's character is not bad, so he said immediately:

"Still following the path of a sci-fi film, it is still in the field of special effects shooting and production, and it will be turned on after a while."

"Sci-fi movies, you are planning to go all the way to the dark! But it's not bad, sci-fi movies have always been the shortcoming of Chinese movies...

That's enough, I won't tell you kid, let's see the real chapter at the end of the year. "

Lao Mouzi laughed and hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy voice over there, Jiang Pei'an shook his head. Lao Mouzi's phone call today was quite interesting.

Congratulations to my movie breaking [-] million?

Not really, just as Jiang Pei'an thought, Lao Mouzi came here to inquire about news.

Sure enough, Lao Mouzi also felt the pressure when "Source Code" exceeded [-] million.

But that's okay, it's very common for directors to have competition.

The only thing that makes Jiang Pei'an feel a little excited is that he can also make the top domestic director Zhang Yimou feel a sense of crisis...

Feng, Chen, Zhang, and Feng Xiaogang, who have been hailed as the three major domestic directors by later generations, announced that "The Biggest Star" will be released on 2.15 in order to avoid the sharp edge of "Source Code".

Zhang Yimou is filming his masterpiece "Hero" in the Northwest.

Director Chen has also been making constant moves recently, first announcing that the TV series "Lu Bu and Diao Chan" directed by him will meet with you this spring.

As a film director, Director Chen has always refused to make TV series.

And now the TV series "Lu Bu and Diao Chan" tailor-made for his beloved wife is the first time he has given up his "family opinion" and devoted himself to the TV series career.

"The most famous love conspiracy in history, primitive and bloody, Director Chen broke the precept for it and put it on the screen.

The title is "Lu Bu and Diao Chan", the male and female lead actors Huang Lei and Chen Hong will have a major breakthrough, boldly interpreting the wildest love between Lu Bu and Diao Chan."

This is the promotional words of the TV series "Lu Bu and Diao Chan", which was interpreted by many media as the reason why Director Chen broke the precept.

Well, very wild indeed.

Before that, Huang Lei, who had always shown himself as a gifted scholar, was put on a nose nail to play the capable Lu Bu.

As soon as he appeared on the stage, he subverted the previous image, especially wild.

After many years, Huang Xiaochu, who has been keen on creating characters, wonders if he regrets taking the role of this TV series...

This is known as Director Chen's big-budget TV series after the failure of "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin" (with a claimed investment of 1200 million).

Originally thought it would be able to kill the Quartet, but once it was broadcast, it was urgently removed from the shelves and banned. There are more than 700 revised regulations given by the radio and television!

This was also very explosive in the history of Chinese TV dramas at that time, and it can be called a record-breaking existence.

Director Chen's TV drama career died prematurely.

In the same year, Director Chen was also actively preparing for his film career.

Director Chen, who dotes on his wife and is crazy, once again created the movie "Together with You" for his beloved wife Chen Hong.

Facts have shown that as long as Director Chen's movie is not the only one whose name is written in the screenwriter column, there is a high probability that the movie can be watched with confidence.

Well, only for movies before The Promise.

After "The Promise", let him go to his ideal country.

……

Beijing Airport.

Snowflakes are falling in the sky, and the weather in Beijing has been extremely gloomy and cold these days.

The cold current that penetrated into the bones made many people a little bit unbearable.

In the airport where people come and go, the appearance and temperament of a mother and daughter are quite eye-catching.

People passing by peeked in their direction from time to time.

The older one has a dignified and elegant temperament, and the bloated down jacket can hardly conceal her good figure.

It's just that a trace of fatigue and sadness flashed in the corner of her eyes inadvertently, which made people feel pity.

If it wasn't for the girl next to her calling her mother, most people would mistake them for a pair of sisters.

The girl looked pure and beautiful, and she seemed to have a fairy spirit about her.

There is nothing in the eyes and manners that does not give people a sense of beauty.

It feels like a living work of art.

"Mom, where are we going?"

Liu Tianxian looked up at his mother Liu Xiaoli.

"Let's go to the hotel later, and we'll go back to my hometown grandma and grandpa after you finish the exam."

Liu Xiaoli touched her daughter's head and said with a smile.

"Oh, then shall we go see the teacher?"

Hearing her daughter's words, Liu Xiaoli pondered for a while.

Before returning to China, she heard the news that Jiang Pei'an's "Source Code" broke [-] million.

When people in China were amazed that "Source Code" had exceeded [-] million yuan, Liu Xiaoli was not surprised at all.

After all, almost all of Jiang Pei'an's previous films have grossed over [-] million overseas.

Breaking [-] million, for that young director, is as simple as drinking water.

"Source Code" has not yet begun to be released globally, but she has basically been able to predict the ending.

Breaking [-] million is a sure thing.

"Well, your teacher should be very busy recently, let's contact him after the exam."

Liu Xiaoli said while touching her daughter's head.

"it is good."

Liu Tianxian agreed pretty sweetly.

The mother and daughter returned to China this time because of Liu Tianxian's art exam.

Before that, she also ended her two-and-a-half-year marriage with the Chinese-American lawyer.

……

Jiang Pei'an didn't know about Liu Tianxian's return to China.

When he received Liu Xiaoli's call, it was already after Liu Tianxian finished the exam.

"I'm not bothering you Director Jiang, I know you've been busy recently, so I haven't contacted you.

If it wasn't for Qian Qian who insisted on arguing to see you, I would have taken her back to her hometown in Northeast China. "

In the coffee shop, Liu Xiaoli said to Jiang Pei'an with a smile.

Beside her is Liu Tianxian who is drinking coffee.

Jiang Pei'an apologized:

"I'm sorry, I've been busy during this period of time. She had passed the art exam with me earlier. I was busy and forgot, sorry."

In fact, Jiang Pei'an has always been in private contact with Liu Tianxian.

I also know that she is about to return to China, but I don't know the exact date.

"It's okay, we have all seen your news, and we haven't congratulated you yet, the domestic box office has exceeded [-] million."

Liu Xiaoli smiled slightly.

If you ignore her real age, it is really hard to see that she has a 15-year-old daughter just from her appearance.

It may be because she has learned dance, she has a fresh and natural temperament.

It feels like a lily that has gone through the wind and dust but still blooms quietly.

Beautiful, natural, quiet.

Jiang Pei'an waved his hand and said with a smile:
"How's Sissy's test scores?"

Liu Tianxian hurriedly replied:

"I have passed Nortel's initial test, re-test, general test, and now I am waiting for the news of the fourth test interview.

The Chinese opera has also passed three tests and is still waiting for the results. "

When talking about these, Liu Tianxian was quite proud.

For Nortel's performance major, the first test is recitation, the second test is recitation + talent show, the third test is a comprehensive performance art test, and the fourth test is an interview.

Chinese opera is relatively simple, with only the first test, the second test and the third test.

You must know that these two schools are the top art schools in China, and it can be said that they are very talented to be able to go to their final test at the same time.

Moreover, Liu Tianxian was two or three years younger than those students who took the art test at the same time.

"That's great, how about the teacher giving you a reward when you are admitted to these two schools?"

"what is it?"

Liu Tianxian asked excitedly with a smile on his face.

The 15-year-old Liu Tianxian is already very beautiful, with a slender and tall figure and an impressive temperament.

You can probably refer to the TV series "The Family of Gold Fans" she participated in this year.

"Secret."

Jiang Pei'an laughed.
