I'm not just a director

Jiang Pei'an left Hengdian the next day and flew to Beijing.

This trip successfully brought Zhang Ziyi under his command, and also shook Li Lianjie's heart by the way.

Although Li Lianjie still had some concerns, he did not decide to star in "Inception".

But Jiang Pei'an still decided to reserve a place for him.

If two kung fu superstars can be assembled in "The King of Kung Fu", let alone the box office is guaranteed.

Thinking about it makes me feel very fulfilled!
……

"Boom, Jiang Pei'an personally went to Hengdian to invite Zhang Ziyi to join the new movie."

"Steal someone from director Zhang Yi, he is the only domestic director who dares to do that!"

"The latest news is that Jiang Pei'an invited Zhang Ziyi to join his new movie.

Liang Chaowei, Zhang Manyu, Li Lianjie and others are very excited, and they may also have a guest appearance! "

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Jiang Pei'an went to Hengdian to visit the crew of "Heroes", and was soon learned by the paparazzi.

Although Zhang Ziyi was unable to accept interviews in the crew, the media confirmed this matter through her agent.

This made the media all of a sudden come to the spirit.

Good guy, this is going directly to other people's crew to grab people directly!

At the same time, Liang Chaowei, Zhang Manyu and Li Lianjie were also affected.

Of the six major characters in "Heroes", you took four of them away directly. Would you let Director Zhang live?

When these news came out, the fans of the remaining two leading actors, Zhen Zhidan and Chen Daoming, quit.

"What does Director Jiang mean by this? The other four are invited, so they don't like our Dandan? Our Dandan is also super good at fighting!"

"Mr. Chen Daoming has debuted for a long time, and the play is also very good. Why don't you invite him to play?"

"Director Jiang, you can't favor one over the other, let's grab all the six leading actors of "Hero" at once!"

Most of the Internet is participating in the discussion with the mentality of watching the excitement and making fun of it.

Even some directors spoke up and participated in the discussion. To be honest, Jiang Pei'an did what they always wanted to do but dared not do.

Go to other crews to "grab people", especially "grab stars" from veteran directors like Zhang Yimou.

The main thing is a stimulus.

To everyone's surprise, "Inception" has not yet started live-action shooting.

Not even a press conference was held to generate such a high degree of enthusiasm.

Time and again, Jiang Pei'an's terrifying influence has been proven...

After Jiang Pei'an returned to the capital, he interviewed several actors.

These actors are all invited by him before, and a role is basically found on a three-to-one basis.

They are part of the protagonist group, and the role of the role is relatively heavy, so he personally auditioned the role.

After working all day, Jiang Pei'an returned home.

Hu Jing is surfing the Internet with her bulky laptop.

The notebooks in 2002 were very heavy, basically comparable to those game notebooks of later generations.

The performance is pitiful, and it will freeze for a while when opening a web page, and there is no sense of experience at all.

But Hu Jing never tires of playing, surfing the Internet all day long.

After hearing the movement, Hu Jing ran out quickly.

"Director, you are back, are you hungry, let me serve you some noodles?"

Taking the briefcase from Jiang Pei'an's hand, Hu Jing said with a smile.

"I've eaten at the company, but I'm still not hungry. What are you doing?"

"Hey, I eat melons on the Internet. I didn't expect that there would be so many news when you went to Hengdian."

Hu Jing said with a smile.

She learned the Internet term "eating melon" from Jiang Pei'an, let alone describe it quite well.

Jiang Pei'an said helplessly:

"I don't know how the itinerary was exposed. Now I am a walking topic maker, and those media are trying to catch me and spread rumors."

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Hu Jing covered her mouth with a smile and said:

"There are so many production crews in Hengdian, there must be many reporters lurking in the dark, and they can be caught immediately if there is any trouble."

Jiang Pei'an nodded:
"It's the same as a spy movie, and it also plays lurking."

When it comes to paparazzi, Jiang Pei'an can't help but think of Zhuo Wei who is known as the number one paparazzi in China.

This one seems to have made his debut, right?

It seems that Zhang Manyu's marriage change was reported by him.

Regardless of whether he debuted or not, this can be said to be a rare talent.

Without him, it can only be said that Neiyu will lose many classic melons.

"Is Ziyi okay over there?"

Sitting on the sofa, Hu Jing brought the brewed tea to Jiang Pei'an and asked.

"She's pretty good there, and she's studying hard every day."

Jiang Pei'an took the tea and said with a smile.

Hu Jing nodded and said:

"It's true, for Ziyi, as long as she has a scene to shoot, she is very satisfied.

When she was in school, she was very serious and had a strong sense of professionalism. "

"I told her to invite her to act as the heroine, but she was stunned for a while, saying why didn't the heroine find you?
I was afraid that you would be jealous, so I said at the time that Jing Jing would play another heroine, and she immediately agreed. "

Jiang Pei'an said slowly.

Hu Jing laughed and said:
"Ziyi likes to think about it all day long, why should I be jealous, even though I am your girlfriend.

But I respect your choice. If you think the role is suitable for me, you will definitely take the initiative to find me. "

Hearing Hu Jing's words, Jiang Pei'an held her small face and sighed:
"Our family's Jingjing sense is general, and you are the only one who thinks so.

The entertainment industry is like a big dye vat, no matter what it is, it will be dyed and fermented.

So sometimes, we can't trust what the media says, and sometimes even the words of some close friends may not be right. "

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Hu Jing nodded vigorously and said:
"I understand the director, I will pay attention to it in the future, I only trust you, hehe."

Jiang Pei'an nodded, there were some things he couldn't say directly, so Jiang Pei'an made a patch on Hu Jing's side in advance...

"Ah, it's over, I still have to shoot tomorrow, I have to hurry up and apply a mask for maintenance."

Hu Jing suddenly exclaimed.

"Shooting, aren't you resting during this time?"

Jiang Pei'an asked suspiciously.

"It's a product that I endorsed before. They need to shoot an advertisement tomorrow, and I have to cooperate with them."

Jiang Pei'an nodded, and asked uncomfortably:
"What brand is it?"

"Jewelry, didn't you say that food and health products cannot be endorsed easily?
So I choose to endorse brands like jewellery, jewelry and clothing. "

Jiang Pei'an nodded and said:
"Well, although the endorsement fees for the two categories of food and health products are higher, they are not stable, so choose carefully."

"I know the director."

While putting on the mask, Hu Jing opened the advertisement script stored on the computer and browsed.

Jiang Pei'an glanced at the computer screen, and found that the script was actually hand-painted and scanned and uploaded.

Moreover, the lens language is particularly clean and neat, and the storyline is also very smooth and eye-catching.

"Which director made this storyboard?"

Jiang Pei'an asked curiously.

"Seems to be……"

Hu Jing slid the mouse to the top, only to see the signature of the script:
"Produced by 523studio studio."

"It seems to be a studio, what is the name of the director, the brand said it directly once, I forgot.

However, the brand side said that this studio is quite famous, and they have won many awards in the world. "

Hu Jing said slowly.

Hu Jing didn't know who the director was, but Jiang Pei'an did.

"523... Urshan."

Jiang Pei'an murmured.

"Yes, that's the name, director, do you know him?"

Hu Jing asked.

Jiang Pei'an nodded, smiled and said:
"I know him, but he doesn't necessarily know me."

……

The next day, Jiang Pei'an drove Hu Jing to the set for filming.

Originally, the brand side was going to come and pick them up.

But Jiang Pei'an was very interested in Wu Ershan, and he also wanted to go to the set to meet him.

So Hu Jing directly refused the brand to pick her up, and sent her there by herself.

The filming location was in a certain studio in the capital, and when Jiang Pei'an and Hu Jing arrived, they were already waiting for the scene to be set.

Jiang Pei'an asked Hu Jing to go up first, but he himself entered the shooting scene after a while.

"Where are the props? Props come here quickly!"

"Make up, make up, come over and touch up your makeup!"

"Art, the background at the back is crooked, hurry up and arrange it!"

The studio was constantly busy, and a rather burly man with black-rimmed glasses and an inch was directing the set.

Well, yes, it's the one in my memory.

Except for changing the red frame to black, everything else is pretty much the same.

Wu Ershan is a native of Inner Mongolia. Later, he moved to the capital and grew up in a military compound. He painted from elementary school.

After graduating from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, he was admitted to the Oil Painting Department of Central Academy of Fine Arts.

Because of conflicts with the school teachers, he dropped out of school in his sophomore year.

Then he was admitted to the director department of Nortel, and lived in the dormitory diagonally opposite Lao Jia and Wang Xiaoshuai.

After graduating in 98, Wu Ershan began to work as a director, but not a film director, but an advertising director.

Because he is a professional advertising director.

Wuershan has done a good job in this field and has won many awards in the advertising industry.

In 2000, he founded his personal studio "523studio".

523 is the homonym of Wuershan.

Jiang Pei'an just glanced at the set and left without disturbing Wu Ershan's filming.

The shooting lasted until five o'clock in the afternoon.

"Jingjing, I opened a room nearby, I'll take you to rest for a while, I'll go up there and pick you up later."

Looking at the tired Hu Jing, Jiang Pei'an said slowly.

"Okay, director, you go first, I'll take a rest first, I'm too tired."

"Ah."

After sending Hu Jing to a nearby hotel, when Jiang Pei'an rushed to the studio, Wu Ershan was packing up the machine with the people in the studio.

"Guide Wu, hello."

Jiang Pei'an took off his mask and said hello.

Wu Ershan raised his head in doubt, and saw a young and calm face.

Then he said in surprise:

"You are...Jiang Pei'an, Director Jiang?"

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:

"Guru Wu, do you know me?"

Wu Ershan said in surprise:

"Of course I know you, hahaha, I didn't expect to meet you here, Director Jiang, hello, I, I'm Wuershan."

Other people in the studio also looked over, Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:
"Director Wu, do you have time now, let's chat in another place?"

"If you have time, of course you have time, that... Aaron, you guys pack up the machines and go back to the studio, I'll go out and do some errands."

"Okay, Director Wu."

Jiang Pei'an took Wu Ershan to sit in a nearby coffee shop.

"Director Jiang, did you come here specially to find me this time?"

Wu Ershan asked quickly.

"Hahaha, yes, Hu Jing and I are friends. She said that she would come over to shoot your film today, so I came here to study."

Wu Ershan waved his hand quickly and said excitedly:

"I dare not talk about learning, but if I want to talk about learning, I still have to learn from you, Director Jiang.

Your advertisement "I am your father" is well-known in our advertising industry, it is a textbook-level advertisement.

It also gave me a lot of inspiration, and it was the first time I knew that commercials can be shot like this! "

"I am your father" in Wuer Shankou is a public service advertisement that Jiang Pei'an filmed for Zheng Xiaolong's TV Center in 99.

It did cause a stir in the advertising world at the time.

It's just that Jiang Pei'an's attention was all on the movie at that time, and he didn't pay attention to the subsequent impact.

Unexpectedly, Wuershan had seen this commercial.

"How about Wu Dao's studio income?"

Jiang Pei'an suddenly asked.

Wu Ershan was also taken aback when asked, but Jiang Pei'an didn't expect Jiang Pei'an to ask this question suddenly.

But he still answered honestly:
"Well... how should I put it, I have won several awards in the past two years, the income is not bad, and I can barely make ends meet.

But it’s definitely not as good as Director Jiang’s filmmaking, hahaha. "

Jiang Pei'an nodded and continued:
"Director Wu, do you want to make a movie? Be a movie director."

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Wu Ershan suffocated.

Wu Ershan is a graduate of the Directing Department of Nortel, a serious professional background.

But after graduation, there was no movie for him to shoot. He has been shooting commercials for nearly ten years.

Ning Hao also took on a lot of advertising work at the beginning, and was later picked up by Liu Dehua's support plan.

Shooting commercials has actually laid a good foundation for many young directors.

For example, visual language, or even text or script level.

Of course Wuershan also wants to make movies, he dreams of it.

In 2004, relying on the funds accumulated in the advertising industry, Wuershan officially entered the film industry.

He wrote and directed a short film "Soap Opera".

And one of the leading actors in this movie is Chen Kun.

At this time, Wuershan was still unknown in the film industry, while actor Chen Kun already had a big name.

Especially in 2003, "The Family of Gold Fans" starring him had just finished broadcasting.

His popularity reached its peak, but after reading the script of "Soap Opera", he still decided to participate in the show.

Later ones such as "Sword Laughter", "Painted Skin 2", "Looking for the Dragon"... all the way to the "Fengshen" series.

"Sword Laughter" he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Director in Bay Province.

"Painted Skin 2" has a box office of 7.3 million.

"Looking for the Dragon" has a box office of 17 billion.

The box office of "Feng Shen" is definitely not lower than the box office of the previous movies.

Therefore, Wu Ershan is definitely a commercial film director with special potential.

And Jiang Pei'an also took a fancy to him, that's why we met today...

Vaguely, Wu Ershan felt that Jiang Pei'an's question would make him leave the advertising industry and reach the film industry he yearned for.

He breathed heavily, nodded, and said heavily:

"I want to be a film director, I've always wanted to be!"

Jiang Pei'an smiled, looked at him and said seriously:

"I still lack an executive director for my new film, would you like to come over?"
