I'm not just a director

Chapter 256 Documentary Propaganda
After returning from Jin City, Jiang Pei'an immediately returned to Hualong Digital to start a retreat life.

This retreat life lasted until the end of August.

At the end of August, Jiang Pei'an received news of thunderstorms.

The revised version of the eighth edition of the "Inception" documentary has been completed.

Jiang Pei'an had already watched the first edition after it was edited, but he was not very satisfied at the time, so he asked Lei Shower to edit a few editions.

After reading the eighth edition, Jiang Peian nodded with satisfaction:
"Thank you, old Lei."

Lei Shower shook his head and said:
"Is the duration a little too short?"

Jiang Pei'an shook his head and said:

Four and 10 minutes is not too short. After all, there are two parts, and it is too big for those who are too big to buy it. "

Lei Xianyu nodded and said:
"I don't really understand these things, it's alright, even if my task is completed, how is the progress over there?"

"It's okay. Judging from the progress, it will be completed in almost two months."

Jiang Pei'an said slowly.

"Well, that's right, after all, so much preparation work has been done.

Although special effects are more time-consuming, I found out from this documentary that most of your plots are actually filmed, and there are very few parts that use special effects. "

"Well, Industrial Light & Magic's abilities are quite good. Inviting them over here is worth the money."

To be honest, China's special effects industry currently has a huge gap compared with the international one.

For example, the special effects of "Inception" are not impossible in China.

But being able to do something and being able to see what is done are two different things.

The 5 Mao special effect that people ridicule in later generations is perfect for this time period.

Of course, with the change of technology and the development and update of equipment and software, China's special effects are in line with international standards.

Of course, this still requires a long process.

Li Lu is a college student and the president of the school film club.

Many universities have such student associations, and their taste in movies is different from that of ordinary people.

They like to watch some novelty-seeking and niche movies. In short, they like movies that can draw a boundary from the public.

Sometimes even the earliest images are analyzed by the community.

For example, old movies like "Battleship Potemkin" and "Dingjun Mountain", and even non-movie movies like "The Train Into the Station" and "Factory Gate" were pulled out to watch.

Why do you want to do this?
Be unconventional and unconventional.

The specific manifestation is when bragging with others, let me say:
Do you know which one is the earliest movie? "The Train Comes In"!
Commercial movies are rubbish, literary movies are movies with thought and connotation... and so on.

After all, when everyone is watching a popcorn movie, who can say something different from everyone else.

And if it sounds like that, it will definitely attract a lot of attention from the opposite sex.

So, the early Baidu did not know how many pretentious criminals had a stage to display their talents...

The day after tomorrow is Wednesday, which is the film club’s activity day. The main content of the activity is watching movies.

After watching the movie, everyone can talk freely, talk about what they have gained from the movie, and even write movie reviews.

So Li Lu skipped class early in the morning and came to the Internet cafe to search for movies on the Internet.

He is the president of the film club, and he is very interested in films. Before that, he also took the examinations of art academies such as Nortel, Chinese Opera, and Shanghai Opera.

But I failed the art exam, so I had no choice but to apply for an ordinary school.

It is one of his prerogatives to find films for film agencies, and this is also a time to show his taste in films.

Can any commercial masterpiece or Feng Xiaogang's comedy New Year's film be as good as "Spring in a Small Town"?
Moreover, after the members watched the movie, he, as the president, could comment on it again, gaining the admiration of the female members in the audience.

"What movie should I watch this week? I heard that "Looking for a Gun" is not bad.

The protagonist is Jiang Wen?Jiang Wen was okay, but the movie was too new and boring, so he had to find some old movies. "

Li Lu kept flipping through the webpage. Suddenly, he was attracted by a hot post on the top of a movie forum.

"The documentary of "Inception" directly hits the shooting scene and reveals the behind-the-scenes story of the movie."

Looking at the title of the post, Li Lu said to himself:
""Inception"? It seems to be Jiang Pei'an's movie.

His "Ghost Chronicles" was pretty good, but it went astray later on.

Why are you making a commercial movie, yet being praised by a group of people? It’s so vulgar, so vulgar! "

After "Ghost Story" was released, he bought pirated discs from street stalls.

At that time, he also gave the film to the members of the film club, and his evaluation at that time was:

This started a new genre of filmmaking, and it's a very good film.

Noting that the director was Chinese, he boasted about director Jiang Pei'an.

Isn't this much better than Feng Xiaogang who just wants to make money?
It's just that when Jiang Pei'an returned to China to shoot a commercial film, Li Lu shouted that he had gone astray after learning about it.

Why does a talented director go astray, why do he want to make a commercial film?
So, when he saw the headline about "Inception" in the movie forum, he sniffed.

What kind of sci-fi blockbuster, in the end, isn't it all money-making stuff, which lowers the film's grade, and the director also wastes his own talent!
Li Lu scolded while browsing the comments below.

"Damn it, it's awesome, I've never seen a movie like this before?"

"The documentary of "Inception"? It was recorded from the beginning of filming. It was the first time I saw how the film was shot. It was really shocking!"

"My blood is boiling with excitement. Which crew is recruiting? I also want to make a movie, please bring me!"

"People in the industry tell you that not every crew can do this.

Director Jiang is a well-known director, and "Inception" is also a big production, so it was so shocking to watch.

But I have to say, Director Jiang is still awesome, I have never even seen the various shooting techniques in the documentary!The title of the banner bearer of domestic films is not for nothing! "

“I’ve watched it all, from the beginning of filming to shooting in various cities, and there are many novel-looking props.

To be honest, I am really looking forward to the release of the movie "Inception". I dare say that this is definitely the most shocking movie in China..."

"Damn it, I'm the only one who thinks Director Jiang, who works hard, is really handsome.

And he is not only the director, but also the protagonist, so the workload is doubled, I feel sorry for Director Jiang, and I will definitely buy tickets to support the movie's release! "

Li Lu kept browsing the comments on the forum, seeing him felt itchy in his heart.

Is it really as mysterious as they say?

For Li Lu, who wants to be a director, these comments are like a cat scratching his heart.

How does the director work on the set?
What filming methods did Jiang Pei'an use?
How shocking is a big-budget movie?

These questions kept popping up in Li Lu's mind. With curiosity, he opened the link in the post...

"Props, where are the props, quickly move everything up!"

"Okay, let's do it again, brother Chenglong, your movements were a bit stiff just now, imagine yourself swimming!"

"Hey, let's do it again. Actors should pay attention to their positioning, keep the vehicle running smoothly, and then hit it after reaching point B!"

Li Lu was wearing earphones, and the sound of the set kept coming into his ears. His eyes were fixed on the computer screen, and his breathing was short of breath.

He is already stupid.

That's how the movie was made.

Speed ​​car chase, street explosion, house rotation, snow mountain blasting...

These scenes are vividly displayed in the documentary, and Jiang Pei'an calmly and calmly directs the huge crew.

Everyone is like a part on a precision instrument that keeps turning.

Although he hasn't seen the movie yet, Li Lu can already imagine how shocking the movie will be when it is released.

"This, this is too strong."

After watching the documentary, Li Lu's heart was surging, and he kept flipping through the comments in the comment area.

Sure enough, everyone in the comment area was shocked by the big production of "Inception" just like him.

……

Wednesday night, eight o'clock.

It was already dark outside, the second floor of the teaching building, the film club.

"Zhang Fei, Liu Jian, you two go turn off the lights and turn on the projector, let's start club activities."

Li Lu stood on the podium and said to the members in the audience.

There are a lot of people in the film club, and most of them come to the club to pass the time by watching movies for free.

There are also many young couples who join the film club. When all the lights in the classroom are turned off, sitting in the last row with their girlfriends to watch a movie, secretly touching in the dark, not to mention how cool it is.

When the light from the projector hit the curtain, the members stared closely at the curtain.

But today's movie is a bit strange. There is only one title at the beginning, "Documentary filmed in Inception".

What do you mean?
Instead of watching a movie today, watch a documentary instead?
But this is also in line with the unexpected personality of the president, and the documentary is also good, anyway, it is more comfortable to watch than those black and white movies.

What's more, I didn't come to watch movies, I mainly came to watch school girls...

There is a mixed crowd in the film club, and there are many people who are just bored to pass the time and look at girls.

Someone also recognized the name "Inception".

Isn't this director Jiang Pei'an's new movie?What about documentaries, is his new movie a documentary type?
Everyone looked at the big screen in confusion...

Soon, everyone was fascinated by what was on the big screen.

This, this is the filming scene?
The documentary mainly talks about the pre-shooting of the movie "Inception". In this documentary, many stars can be seen.

"Holy shit! Chenglong!"

"And Li Lianjie!"

"Zhang Ziyi is here, Jiang Pei'an is not only the director but also the leading actor?"

"What kind of goddamn lineup is this? Is the movie released? I'm going to the cinema to watch it!"

"Oh my god, the movie was actually made like this, I'm really shocked!"

"I'll wipe...who the hell touched my ass!"

With the appearance of stars one by one, the movie is constantly showing rich scenes and various shooting methods, making people overwhelmed and unable to move their eyes away.

10 minutes was not long. After the video was over, Li Lu asked people to turn on the lights in the house.

"Everyone, after watching this documentary, how do you feel?"

Li Lu stood on the podium and asked.

"Shocking, it turns out that this is how the movie was made!"

"After I watch it, who will say that watching a documentary makes people want to sleep? This documentary makes my blood boil. Chinese movies, rise up!"

"It's really good, "Inception" is released, I will definitely support it!"

"Which bastard touched my ass just now?"

The people in the audience kept talking, Li Lu pressed his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, he smiled slightly and said:

"Everyone has seen this documentary, and you are all members of the film club.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the fun, and insiders watch the way. You are half insiders. Does anyone see the way? "

"What kind of knowledge? Do you understand how movies are made?"

"I found that commercial films actually look better than art films."

"Director Jiang is so handsome!"

"Who touched my butt?"

Li Lu twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard the chatter of members in the audience.

Fuck, is this what half of you insiders say?

And the one whose butt was touched, who touched him, quickly stand up and admit it!

"I saw a lot of different things from this documentary.

Why do we all hate commercial movies, because it has no connotation and deliberately pursues visual impact.

Although the rhythm of literary movies is a bit slower, the visual experience is not as exciting as commercial blockbusters.

But it inspires, lifts the soul..."

Li Lu said while observing the reactions of the members in the audience.

Some people lowered their heads, seemingly lost in thought.

In fact, they were just thinking about what flavor of instant noodles they would buy from the canteen after the club activities.

Some of them are also playing a small game of touching hands with the object.

There was also a bearded college student who was covering his butt with both hands, looking around suspiciously.

Damn, this group of people is hopeless.

"I think the film "Inception" is a model of the combination of commercial films and art films.

I heard their lines from the set, especially some of Jiang Peian's interpretations of dreams.

There are philosophical and spiritual aspects to this already, and we can also learn from…”

Li Lu said a lot on stage, but the people in the audience still did their own thing and had no time to talk to him.

Only when he finished speaking and stopped, did the members in the audience start applauding and shouting.

"The president is right."

"Awesome, President!"

"President, you said what I always wanted to say."

"butt……"

Although it was cool to be afraid of being flattered, Li Lu felt a little lonely at the moment.

This group of people doesn't understand movies at all. If it weren't for the ability to watch movies and the credit limit, they probably would have quit the company long ago.

Li Lu shook his head, and ended the club activities. After returning to the dormitory, his mind was always full of the scenes of the movie directed by Jiang Pei'an in the documentary.

So fucking handsome!
Li Lu tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, so he simply got up, pulled out a piece of letter paper, and began to write:

"Hello, dear editor-in-chief, I am a college student..."

When Li Lu was excited because of the "Inception" documentary, the outside world also made a big fuss because of this incident.
