I'm not just a director

Chapter 241

After the Spring Festival, there are basically not many people in the countryside.

The young and middle-aged labor force basically all went out to work, leaving only some elderly people and school-going children.

Many people were not notified of Jiang Pei'an's return home, but his father and uncle still drove to Xinyang City to pick them up.

The main part-time work of my brother-in-law and my father's brother was basically doing coolies.

In the early years, I opened mountains and smashed rocks in the remote mountainous areas of Hangzhou, and later moved to the urban area to do some hard work.

Without technology or academic qualifications, most of the rural people who migrate to the cities do nothing more than enter factories and work hard.

After the father and uncle in the previous life got older, they all had different degrees of physical problems.

Therefore, after Jiang Pei'an had money in his hands in this life, he invested some capital in the two of them early and asked them to buy a facade in the county to do business.

In places like county towns, doing business is nothing more than clothing and catering, and there are not many choices.

Maybe after a few more years, I can consider developing into an online store.

Gao Yuanyuan had already visited Jiang Pei'an's hometown once a year ago, and he was not as restrained as the first time he came.

"The mountain along the way is freezing, Yuanyuan, come in, the house is warm."

Grandma held Gao Yuanyuan's hand, and Jiang Pei'an's mother also helped her carry the bag.

"Grandma, Auntie, happy new year, I originally wanted to come over to greet you after the new year.

As a result, Pei'an has been busy all the time, so I came here now, I'm really sorry. "

Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile.

"It's okay, we're glad you came.

The upstairs rooms are all decorated for you, let me show you first. "

Jiang Pei'an's house is now a small two-story bungalow, which is not uncommon in rural areas in later generations.

But now it is 2002, and everyone generally lives in green brick and green tile or adobe houses. Jiang Pei'an's small two-story western-style building is very eye-catching.

Gao Yuanyuan supported his grandma, and Jiang's mother led the way to the second floor.

When the door opened, Jiang Pei'an was stunned.

In the room on the second floor, the floor is tiled and the walls are painted. The room is fully equipped with TV, air conditioner, sofa and other home appliances and furniture.

The whole room looks bright and warm, which is very different from those concrete floors and lime walls in the countryside.

"Mom, are you and dad pretending to be this?"

Jiang Pei'an asked in surprise.

Mother Jiang smiled and said:
"Last time you came back too suddenly, we didn't prepare anything, we can't let you always squeeze with us on the first floor.

So your dad and I made a calculation and specially invited some chicken from Xinyang to do it. From material selection to decoration, it was all done by them. "

"What chicken?"

Dad heard Jiang's mother's words downstairs, and said angrily:
"People are called designers, who specialize in designing houses, what a chicken."

Hearing this, Jiang Pei'an laughed, but his heart was touched.

It took about two or three months between coming back before the Chinese New Year and now, and there is a New Year in the middle.

It is conceivable that parents should have spent a lot of time in this house during this time.

"This house is usually locked, just waiting for the two of you to come back to live in, this time you can stay for a few more days, Yuanyuan?"

Grandma took Gao Yuanyuan's hand and asked.

Gao Yuanyuan didn't speak, but turned his gaze to Jiang Pei'an.

"Grandma, we won't be at home for long this time, and we have to go back to work in the capital."

Jiang Pei'an supported the little old lady and said.

"Then you go back to the capital to go to work and let Yuanyuan stay at home, right? You go your own way."

Grandma waved her hand indifferently.

Jiang Pei'an's eldest son and grandson's position in front of Gao Yuanyuan's grandson-in-law is not guaranteed at this time.

"Grandma, can I come see you when I have time? I'm going back to the capital this time to film a TV series."

Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile.

She passed the audition for "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" a few years ago, and she will join the group soon after returning this time.

"Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" is a cross-strait co-production, and the actors are even involved in Hong Kong Province, Bay Province, Mainland China, Malaysia and other places.

The early stage preparations have been going on intensely, and this time Gao Yuanyuan also came back with Jiang Pei'an while he was about to enter the group.

Hearing Gao Yuanyuan's words, Grandma Jiang nodded helplessly, and said:

"It's all busy, that's okay, you can come back anytime when you miss home."

"Good grandma."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled and supported the little old lady.

Jiang Pei'an did not tell Qi Yuefei about Jiang Pei'an's return this time.

Ever since the Xin'an Folk Art Troupe got on the right track to make a profit, this old boy handed over all his property to others to take care of it.

I concentrate on running the business of the folk art troupe, such as contacting commercial performances of folk ditty artists, government-related meeting reports, and the like.

As the business of folk ditties expands to the whole country, he often flies all over the country and is very busy.

"Anzi, last time you said that you can try to remake some in-store dramas. I almost have a script here. Can you show it?"

Now under the influence of Jiang Pei'an, Wang Xingxing is also developing in the direction of a professional director intentionally or unintentionally.

The job of a director is not to sit on a chair and use a loudspeaker to direct blindly on the set, let alone to open a good room and wait for the actress to knock on the door.

He needs a very strong comprehensive quality ability, and now Wang Xingxing can only rely on his experience in folk ditties to shoot some small videos.

When faced with more characters and more complex scenes, his ability is obviously not enough.

So, when Jiang Pei'an came back this time, he quickly brought over the script he had prepared for him to direct.

"The Case of Guillotine?"

Jiang Pei'an glanced at the script and asked in surprise.

Wang Xingxing smiled and said:

"The old people in the Bang Opera Troupe helped to make it out, but it must be incomparable to your professional screenwriters.

It's just an experiment, you can show it, if it works, we will try to shoot a few episodes. "

Wang Xingxing said with a smile.

Jiang Pei'an nodded, Wang Xingxing's version of "The Case of Guillotine Beauty" is not complicated.

In fact, there will be rehearsals for this story in troupes all over the country, but it is only limited to performances on stage.

As for film and television, the Folk Art Troupe has never been involved.

The story is not long, and it took Jiang Pei'an half an hour to finish it.

"Well, the plot is fairly smooth, but it involves some aspects of persuasion.

Let’s just talk about the costumes. I definitely can’t use the costumes of the troupe on the stage anymore. It’s too dramatic to look at.

I can contact the film and television company in Beijing to solve the problem of costumes and props.

As for the actors, the people of the Bangju Troupe should not have a big problem, just change their concepts, which is similar to the folk songs you are shooting now.

Most importantly...the directing aspect. "

The quality, or quality, of a play depends on the ability of the director.

And this is precisely Wang Xingxing's shortcoming.

Hearing this, Wang Xingxing said with some shame:
"I have watched all the videos you recorded for me about the camera and directing the actors.

But I always feel that something is almost there, and no matter how I shoot it, it feels a little unprofessional..."

Jiang Pei'an nodded and said:
"You're not a professional film and television director, and now you're taking wild paths, um... have you been busy lately?"

"It's okay. Mr. Qi found a few students from film and television colleges to shoot folk songs. I'm in charge of the overall planning and thinking about new projects."

The new project he was talking about was the filming of Jiang Pei'an's "The Case of Beauty".

"Stop it first, you and I will go to the capital this time, and then go to the director department of Chinese opera to sit in for a few months, and enrich myself first."

Jiang Pei'an suggested.

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Wang Xingxing's breathing became heavy.

"Chinese opera? Can I, can I go?"

Jiang Pei'an patted his shoulder and said with a smile:
"Stupid, why can't you go, don't worry, I will make arrangements for you."

"Come on, when are we going to the capital, I'll go back and pack up first."

Wang Xingxing said impatiently.

"Don't worry, I just came back, I'll stay at home for two days.

By the way, I still have a movie to start shooting, so I can come to my crew to stay when I am not in class.

You don't have to do anything, just watch from the sidelines. "

"Okay, okay, I see!"

Wang Xingxing nodded like a pounding garlic, and said excitedly.

……

Jiang Pei'an stayed at home for three days. During these three days, Jiang's mother and Jiang's grandma kept walking around Gao Yuanyuan.

Everything delicious and delicious was brought up.

"Why do I feel that you are fat?"

On the way to the airport, Jiang Pei'an looked at Gaoyuan Road.

"Really? No way, I feel like I haven't eaten much?"

Gao Yuanyuan touched his small face and asked in doubt.

"Haven't eaten much yet? You ate all the fried sanzi and mung bean balls at home as snacks.

Those are carbohydrates fried in high temperature. "

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

"Forget it, if you get fatter, you can get fatter. You can't live up to the wishes of grandma and auntie, hehe."

Gao Yuanyuan said with a grin.

Hearing Gao Yuanyuan's words, Jiang Pei'an nodded.

I thought that this era is better, no matter whether it is a female star or an ordinary person, there is no anxiety about appearance.

……

After arriving in the capital, Jiang Pei'an first helped Wang Xingxing settle down and took him to the Chinese opera to sign up.

Wang Xingxing came to study at public expense this time, and the expenses incurred during the period were all paid by the folk art troupe.

This alone made the kid so happy that he wanted to visit the capital with his eyes shining.

Chinese opera, director department.

"My good friend will trouble you, Director Zheng. If you have any questions during the period, you can call me directly."

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said to the middle-aged man in front of him.

"Hahaha, what did Director Jiang say? Our China Opera welcomes outstanding talents who are interested in film and television."

Director Zheng said with a smile.

Then, he whispered again:

"Our dean has specifically explained, Director Jiang, if you need it, just say it, and we will support your work as always."

Jiang Pei'an understood, he nodded and said with a smile:
"Then thank you Dean and Director Zheng. I won't disturb your work. I'll treat you to dinner another day."

"It's easy to talk about it, Director Jiang walks slowly, come often~"

Seeing Director Zheng's simple and honest smile, Wang Xingxing gave a thumbs up and sighed:
"Anzi, you're awesome. The dean of the Department of Chinese Opera is actually so polite to you. You have to save face."

Jiang Pei'an grabbed Wang Xingxing's shoulder and said with a smile:
"People's face is given to each other, the premise is that everyone has an equal opportunity to talk.

When you win a few awards abroad, you will also be a well-known alumnus of Chinese opera.

At that time, not to mention the theater director, even the dean will come over to congratulate you in person. "

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Wang Xingxing looked yearning, but soon he became dejected and said:
"I'm just a folk ditty. I never heard that this kind of singing and dancing can win awards."

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:

"Have you heard of Broadway?"

Wang Xingxing had obviously heard of this term before.

"Then you take that as your goal and become China's Broadway."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

"Making folk tunes into China's Broadway? Damn..."

The corner of Wang Xingxing's mouth twitched, what a joke, it's impossible...

After getting settled together, Jiang Pei'an asked Gao Chengsheng to notify the creators of "Inception" to have a meeting.

The launch is scheduled for next Wednesday.

Regarding this, the main creators have no opinion, only Zhang Ziyi and Li Lianjie's scenes will be postponed to filming.

"Teacher, I saw what was said in the news. I'm really looking forward to seeing Uncle Cheng Long and Uncle Li Lianjie."

Inside the villa, Liu Tianxian said with a smile.

Liu Xiaoli on the side sat on the sofa and looked at her daughter with a smile on her face.

Originally, after the Lantern Festival, Liu Tianxian was supposed to return to Beijing, but the old man at home didn't see his granddaughter for a long time and left her at home for a few more days.

As soon as the mother and daughter arrived in the capital, they came to visit with a bag full of Northeast specialties.

"Sissy, eat some fruit."

Hu Jing said with a smile while holding the plate.

"Thank you sister."

Liu Tianxian said politely.

"Hehe, I put the fruit on the table, you can take it if you like it."

Hu Jing said with a smile.

She quite likes this beautiful little girl, and has a good impression of her.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Jiang Director Hu, I'm really bothering you today. Sissi has been clamoring to come over."

Liu Xiaoli smiled and Hu Jing nodded.

When she entered the door just now, it was Hu Jing who opened the door for her.

She was very surprised by this, although there were many speculations about Jiang Pei'an's emotional problems.

But there has been no reliable news, seeing the two living together now, doesn't that already explain the problem.

"Hehe, Jingjing and I are usually at home alone, and Qianqian can come over to play if she has time.

But... because of work, my relationship with Jingjing..."

Seeing that Jiang Pei'an hesitated to speak, how could Liu Xiaoli not know what he meant.

She hastily assured:

"Don't worry, we won't talk nonsense. Sissy is also very sensible, and I will tell her well."

The relationship status of most celebrities is kept secret, which is related to many aspects.

Liu Xiaoli was also in the entertainment industry in her early years, so she was not curious about it.

"Hehe, it's not something shameful, Jingjing is now on the rise in her career.

I don't want to have any influence on her because of our relationship. "

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

"Don't worry, teacher, I won't talk nonsense."

Liu Tianxian on the side said quickly.

"Hahaha, then thank you Sissy."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.
