I'm not just a director

Chapter 240 Lu Paopao Goes Online

Cheng Long and Li Lianjie co-starred in a movie, the news hit everyone like a thunderbolt, and everyone was caught off guard.

Although there were rumors before, most people looked at this matter with a teasing mentality.

It's probably the kind of thing that was obviously impossible, but now it has come true.

It's incredible.

"Li Lianjie + Cheng Long + Jiang Pei'an, another domestic blockbuster rises"

"Zhang Yimou VS Jiang Pei'an, there is a good show to watch this year! "

"At this juncture, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie have joined mainland films, and the situation is a bit delicate. "

"Inception, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie collaborated for the first time, looking forward to colliding with different sparks. "

On the second day of the press conference, major media reported on the matter one after another, and the popularity was comparable to last year's "Hero" official cast announcement.

"Won't this save a lot of marketing expenses, and when the time comes, I will post some behind-the-scenes footage while filming, so as to maintain the popularity at all times.

By the way, Lao Gao, I need to make a documentary about "Inception", to record the whole process of "Inception" from filming to production. "

In the office, Han Shanping, Jiang Pei'an, and Gao Chengsheng were sitting. Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Han Shanping's eyes lit up, and said:
"That's a good idea, and we'll upload the documentary to the Internet when the movie is about to be released.

Not only can it increase the popularity of the movie, but it can also let colleagues see how a sci-fi blockbuster is born.

For the time being, we have no way to master the advanced special effects technology of Industrial Light & Magic, but with these historical materials, we can also inspire latecomers. "

Hearing this, Jiang Pei'an clapped his hands and said:
"Han Dong has a good intention. With a leader like you, there is no need for us to worry about the development of Huaxia Film."

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Han Shanping laughed and cursed:

"Get out, you kid likes to make fun of me, I don't believe you didn't think of this."

Jiang Pei'an smiled without saying a word, he and Han Shanping were in different positions.

Although "Inception" is led by China Film Group, Han Shanping will definitely not just focus on this movie.

In other words, as long as there are excellent movies released in China, he will pay attention to them.

"Okay, Director Jiang, I will contact the relevant production team now."

Gao Chengsheng nodded.

Just as the three of them were talking, the secretary knocked on the door suddenly and came in.

"Han Dong, Director Lu wants to see you, but he is already waiting outside."

Han Shanping nodded and said:

"Let him come in first."

"Ok."

After the secretary left, Han Shanping rubbed his head, smiled and said to Jiang Pei'an:
"Lu Chuan, I don't know how many times this kid has run towards me."

Hearing Han Shanping's words, Jiang Pei'an understood.

"Looking for a Gun" was a dystocia. When the script was in the stage of writing, it changed no less than fourteen drafts.

Later, during filming, after several strikes, it was rumored that the male protagonist Jiang Wen and the director Lu Chuan were at odds.

After finally waiting for the film to be finalized, when it was finished and sent for review, I received a notice from above that rectification was needed.

There is no such thing as rectification. Lu Chuan once talked about it in a later interview:

"Change whatever you want to change."

"No matter how you change it, you must stick to what you want to express most in your heart. Things that focus on people's fate cannot be changed."

No, Lu Chuan came to look for Han Shanping with the newly revised "Looking for a Gun".

The production company of this film itself is China Film Group, and Lu Chuan did not find the wrong source.

The only troublesome thing is that this product arrives too often.

The uncut version of "Looking for a Gun" is a full 120 minutes long, and the rectifications are different each time.

Han Shanping's prostate couldn't bear it just by watching the film.

"Since Mr. Han has something to do, let's go back first."

Jiang Pei'an got up to slip away.

Just kidding, if you don't leave, you will be tortured with Han Shanping.

"Don't go, both of you, and enjoy Lu Chuan's works with me."

Han Shanping said with a smile.

Jiang Pei'an's face instantly pulled down:
"Director Han, I really don't have the good fortune to enjoy Director Lu's movie. I will definitely go to the cinema to support it after it is released."

"Hehe, you are all young filmmakers, and Lu Chuan is still a graduate of Nortel with a master's degree. Let's talk about it."

Han Shan said calmly.

"Ok."

Jiang Pei'an reluctantly sat down again.

To be honest, the movie "Looking for a Gun" is not bad, it has the flavor of Jiang Wen's movie.

You can even see Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises" from this movie.

You must know that it is still five years away from the birth of Jiang Wen's movie that no one can understand.

Emotional Jiang has already implanted the idea of ​​his next work in other people's movies.

After a while, Lu Chuan appeared in Han Shanping's office.

Seeing that Jiang Pei'an was also present, he nodded his head towards the other party as a greeting.

This attitude was much better than when Jiang Pei'an first met him.

Probably because of being "taught" by Lao Jiang to be polite during this period of time.

At this time, Lu Chuan's hair was messy, bags under his eyes were obvious, and he looked very haggard.

"Lu Chuan, you should also pay attention to your health when you are engaged in business."

Han Shanping persuaded in the tone of an elder.

He and Lu Chuan's father are good friends, and they usually pay close attention to Lu Chuan.

"It doesn't matter, Director Han, we have just revised the movie, please review it."

Lu Chuan adjusted his glasses and said impatiently.

"Okay, let's go to the screening room first."

Han Shanping said helplessly.

Several people rushed to the screening room, and Lu Chuan ran backstage to meet with the projectionists.

The three of Jiang Pei'an sat in the theater and waited.

Jiang Pei'an has watched "Looking for a Gun" many times in later generations.

After all, in 2002, commercial films had formed a certain trend, and "Looking for a Gun" can be regarded as a rare literary masterpiece.

The main story told in the film is that after Ma Shan woke up from a dream overnight, he found that the gun he was equipped with as a policeman was missing.

There are still three bullets in the gun, and if any accident occurs, he will bear all the responsibilities.

So Ma Shan embarked on an unusual journey of gun hunting...

It can be said that "gun" serves as a clue to carry out the series connection of the whole movie, and at the same time, it really makes the audience think about what "gun" refers to.

Many people feel that the theme of the film is like what Jiang Wen himself said:

"Actually, many people lose their guns in their hearts, but some people don't look for them while others do, and they spend their lives looking for them..."

One of the hottest topics about this movie is Jiang Wen.

Because of his appearance, the movie itself is full of Jiang smell, so that Lu Chuan has been ridiculed as a directed "director" on the set.

The reason why it was questioned is that the style of this film is full of stream of consciousness and experimental style, which is very different from Lu Chuan's later works.

Secondly, Jiang Wen's aura is too full, the same lines and performances may not be so obvious with another actor.

However, Jiang Wen's performance can almost support the entire painting style.

In general, the story of this movie is actually very simple.

The reason why it has attracted much attention is mainly due to its photography and soundtrack, a large number of hand-held shots, real shots with natural light, and close-ups of unconscious shots.

Coupled with post-rock psychedelic music, the audience is immersed in it and can't stop.

The movie played slowly, Jiang Wen's big face matched with the constantly shaking camera, it really gave people the feeling of drinking fake wine.

Han Shanping has watched it many times before, but he still watches the movie patiently.

Whether a movie has been reviewed or not is actually very mysterious sometimes. If a movie is not good in terms of conception, it is what people often say is a crooked ass.

There is basically no possibility of salvation.

After all, this is a problem that appeared during the script creation stage, and has little to do with the subsequent shooting.

Fortunately, Lu Chuan listened to the persuasion, and the risks at the script level have been wiped out...

Jiang Pei'an watched the movie shown on the big screen, which was very similar to what he watched in later generations.

He looked back at Lu Chuan who was nervous.

After Lu Pao ran, there should be no need to run to Han Shanping again...

Sure enough, after the movie finished playing, Han Shanping glanced at Lu Chuan and said:
"Send the movie to the General Administration for review first."

"What do you mean?"

Lu Chuan asked without knowing why.

Han Shanping shook his head and said with a smile:
"I don't have a big problem here, but I don't know what the opinion of the review committee of the General Administration is.

Also, Lu Chuan, find some time to take a good rest, your mental state is not very good. "

"Has it finally passed? Great, thank you Director Han, thank you..."

Lu Chuan said excitedly.

Han Shanping shook his head and said:

"I only represent my own opinion, and in the end it will be based on the review results of the General Administration."

"Hahaha, you have already passed here, and the General Administration must have nothing to say, then I will go back to Director Han."

After speaking, Lu Chuan ran outside excitedly.

"land……"

Before Han Shanping finished speaking, Lu Chuan had disappeared.

Looking at Lu Chuan's back, Jiang Pei'an shook his head, really wondering how this guy survived in the entertainment industry.

It can only be said that he has a good father.

"Let's go, go back first, and I'll leave Pei'an's "Inception" to you. I've always been at ease in your work."

Han Shanping patted Jiang Pei'an on the shoulder and said.

"Don't worry, Director Han, everything is ready on my side."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

……

Jiang Pei'an made another trip to Hualong Digital.

"Manager Lei, what happened to Zhang Guanghua and the others?"

After Jiang Pei'an walked around the office area of ​​Industrial Light & Magic, he came to Lei Showyu's office and asked.

"Hey, speaking of this..."

Thundershower got up and closed the office door.

He said quite proudly:

"Zhang Guanghua's side has been fine for a long time, and even a few Chinese engineers from Industrial Light & Magic have a tendency to join us."

"Sure, Mr. Lei, I didn't see it before, it's a pity that you are not a publicist."

Jiang Pei'an sat on the sofa and smiled.

"Hey, not all I learned from you, Director Jiang, I understand that as long as you are a human being, you have weaknesses.

As long as we know their weaknesses, we can prescribe the right medicine, and it will be easy to solve them! "

Thunderstorm said with a smile.

"That's right, Mr. Lei, pay close attention to their situation, these people are the kindling of our Huaxia Special Effects.

Also, when you have nothing to do, let your people go to Industrial Light and Magic to see how they set up the studio when shooting.

For example, the location of lighting, green screen, and personnel scheduling, we will try to learn something after they withdraw. "

Jiang Pei'an instructed.

After spending so much money to invite this group of people all the way from the United States, they must leave something behind.

"Okay, Director Jiang, don't worry, our people are basically watching over there every step of the way."

Jiang Pei'an nodded, and after learning about the progress of some special effects from Industrial Light & Magic, he left Hualong Digital and came directly to Spark Entertainment.

"Go and call Manager Su to my office."

Jiang Pei'an said to the front desk.

"Alright Mr. Jiang."

Not long after Jiang Pei'an returned to his office, Su Qing rushed over.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

Su Qing knocked on the door and came in.

Jiang Pei'an smiled slightly and said:

"Hu Jing has nothing to do at home these two days. She wants to come to the company to feel the atmosphere. I will trouble you to accompany her during this time."

"What about you, boss?"

Su Qing asked.

"Me? Gao Yuanyuan plans to go to my hometown. I can't let her go there alone, right?"

Su Qing widened her eyes and said:
"Boss, are you going to make a choice between these two?"

"What is a choice, do I have a preference for one of them?"

"It's not obvious. Ms. Gao has already met your family members. Didn't she make a choice?"

Hearing this, Jiang Pei'an laughed, stretched out five fingers and grabbed in front of him, saying:
"Only children make choices, I'm an adult, of course I want them all!"

Su Qing looked at him speechlessly.

"Boss, do you feel shameless?"

Jiang Pei'an shook his head and said:
"Don't talk about these useless things. I will say hello to Hu Jing, but I don't guarantee that she will ask you about my movements. Don't let it slip by then."

Su Qing's expression was tangled:

"Boss, can't someone else do this job? I like Hu Jing very much, and I'm still chasing her TV series during Chinese New Year.

You asked me to lie to people, and to lie to my favorite actor, I can't do it. "

"If you can't do it, you have to do it, Mr. Su, you have to adapt to this situation.

As the boss's right-hand man, how could he retreat because of such a trivial matter? "

"I……"

Jiang Pei'an waved his hands involuntarily and said:

"Let's do it first, and you can report to me at any time if you have anything to do."

"OK then!"

Su Qing nodded helplessly.

Before the new year, Gao Yuanyuan said that he wanted to visit Jiang Pei'an's house to pay New Year's greetings, but Jiang Pei'an has been busy with the preparations for "Inception" and didn't spare time to accompany her.

Now that the press conference is over, Jiang Pei'an is temporarily free.

Going home this time, I guess it's time for "Inception" to be released if I want to go back again.

Therefore, Jiang Pei'an cherished this opportunity to go home and visit relatives very much.
