I'm not just a director

Chapter 274 I, Jiang Peian, filmed a folk tune
When the Xinnan County TV station broadcast the folk ditty Spring Festival Gala, only a handful of people noticed.

At first, only the leaders of Xinnan County paid great attention to this matter.

Although folk tunes are currently developing well and are very famous in several nearby major provinces.

However, the leaders of Xinnan County still want to use Jiang Peian's personal influence to make their Xinnan County folk tune known to the national audience.

We want to build folk tunes into a cultural industry that people across the country love to hear and see.

Obviously, this matter has gradually gained influence...

"Hey, Lao Liu, your Xin'an County TV station is not authentic. When everyone was replaying the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, you suddenly caught everyone off guard."

The director of the TV station in the next county made a direct call to Director Liu’s mobile phone.

"Haha, Lao Zheng, everyone has already watched the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve. There is no point in replaying it. We have to develop our own characteristics."

Liu Taizi said with a smile.

"Did you convince Jiang Pei'an to perform on stage?"

Director Zheng said suspiciously.

"Director Jiang is a native of Xinnan County. His performance on stage for the villagers was completely spontaneous and we did not intervene."

Director Liu said with a smile.

"Really? Director Jiang is really different from ordinary celebrities. People would like to sell their houses in big cities and change their registered residence immediately after becoming famous. They are afraid that the media will know their true identity. However, you, Director Jiang, do the opposite."

"Haha, otherwise how could I have so many fans?"

"Old Liu, let's discuss something. You can send us a copy of the video. Our TV station also wants to innovate. It's boring to always rebroadcast CCTV programs."

Director Zheng stated the purpose of making this call.

Director Liu pondered for a while and said slowly:
"There is no problem with broadcasting the video to your station, but as we have said before, your Taixian TV station will not allow secondary editing.

The video should contain as much content as it should. For the sake of ratings, Jiang Pei'an's scenes cannot be cut out separately. "

"Don't worry, we will definitely not do that kind of thing."

Director Zheng agreed with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Director Liu's cell phone rang again...

There are three districts and five counties below Xinyang City. Several districts and counties have asked Xinnan TV Station for the original video of the folk tune Spring Festival Gala to be played on their own TV channels.

In the end, even the people from Xinyang City TV station had to go to Xinnan County in person to get the original video and broadcast the folk tune Spring Festival Gala on the city-level channel.

More and more people know that Jiang Peian appeared on the big stage in his hometown to perform, and at the same time, some people posted the video online.

"Damn it, what did I see? The man wearing the red scarf is Director Jiang?"

"Ah, Director Jiang has started to act in a subtle way. Isn't this acting a bit low-end?"

"Speechless, didn't you read the title of the video? This is a program from Director Jiang's hometown, and he is performing for the villagers."

Many people have left comments under the video.

At first, everyone only talked about it on a small scale, but as the video spread, more and more people noticed the details inside.

"By the way, has anyone noticed the song sung by Director Jiang? "Gong Xi Fa Cai" feels very good!"

"It's a pity that such an auspicious song is played. To be honest, if it were played during the Spring Festival Gala, it would be a massacre!"

"Come to think of it, why didn't you invite Director Jiang to the Spring Festival Gala? If Director Jiang is there, I will definitely watch it!"

Although many netizens talked about the news about Jiang Peian performing on stage in his hometown in the countryside, the song "Gong Xi Fa Cai" that made the biggest splash was the song.

When this song is mentioned, another song always comes to mind:

"In every street and alley, in everyone's mouth, the first words you say when you meet are congratulations."

During every Chinese New Year, this song will always ring through the streets. Zhuo Yiting’s singing automatically becomes the Spring Festival BGM, and the festive lyrics are magical and brainwashing.

Now there is finally another song that can compete with it.

For a time, this song was played on a loop on the speakers in supermarkets, barber shops, or on the banquets in rural areas.

It's just that the sound quality of this song is a bit poor, after all, it was extracted separately from the video...

The ultimate reason why "Gong Xi Fa Cai" can quickly break through the circle is that Chinese people want to listen to festive words during the New Year
And there is no other song in China that contains more auspicious words than "Gong Xi Fa Cai" so far.

Not only was the song "Gong Xi Fa Cai" a hit, but with the broadcast of this video of the Spring Festival Gala of folk tunes, folk tunes were also exposed.

More attentive netizens discovered that the time when folk tunes became popular seemed to be when Jiang Pei'an was filming "Record of Ghosts".

In addition, both of them appeared at the same time in Xinnan County, a poor county, and it is difficult not to make people think.

Jiang Pei'an, a famous director who has great reputation internationally and is very popular in China, is actually related to something as corny as a folk ditty.

This... is hard to comment on.

"Jiang Peian is the originator of folk songs? Damn it, my mother and I are actually fans of the same idol."

"It's amazing. Director Jiang is really... Now, our whole family has completely become his fans."

"If you don't understand, just ask, what is a folk tune? Is it any different from our Northeast Errenzhuan?"

“Holy shit, shit, I bought a tape of folk tunes.

I really didn't expect that this was produced by Jiang Pei'an, who has produced high-end movies such as "The Rescue", "Source Code" and "Inception". My three views were about to collapse. "

Netizens have been speculating about the relationship between Jiang Peian and folk tunes, and some even laughed and praised:

You never know what your idol did before he became famous...

"Boss, you are restless at home during the Chinese New Year."

When he received Su Qing's call, Jiang Peian was leisurely basking in the sun in the small yard.

Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. According to the rules in Jiang Peian's hometown, people pay homage to their aunts, aunts and uncles on the third and fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Jiang Pei'an's New Year greetings would probably be to go to a relative's house with gifts and sit there for a while. After all, they are very close to each other and there is no need to eat at each other's house at noon.

"Happy New Year, Mr. Su. Why are you so angry during the Chinese New Year?"

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

Hearing Jiang Peian's fengqingyundan words, Su Qing was so angry that her teeth itched, and she tried hard to control her emotions and said:
“Many media outlets are contacting me to ask what your relationship is with folk ditties.

As for that song, many music companies wanted to release "Gong Xi Fa Cai". I knew you would definitely not agree, so I rejected them directly.

But I really want to ask you, what is your relationship with folk ditties? "

There are CDs selling folk tunes in the capital. After first seeing the speculation that Jiang Pei'an was related to folk tunes on the Internet, Su Qing immediately went to the video store and bought a few CDs.

After watching it, her first reaction was, Impossible, there was absolutely no way this was taken by the boss, let alone having anything to do with him.

But after calming down, the more Su Qing thought about it, the more something was wrong. Judging from her understanding of her boss, this matter... maybe.After hearing Su Qing's words, Jiang Peian stood up from the recliner. The winter afternoon sun warmed his body, and he was about to fall asleep if he wasn't careful.

"Folk tunes are my industry. In the early days, I took the villagers to shoot them together. It was the first pot of gold."

After hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Su Qing secretly thought that it was true.

"Boss, you should have told me earlier, otherwise we wouldn't be as passive as we are now."

Su Qing complained.

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:

"You didn't even ask me, what's going on now? I don't have an internet connection here, and I don't know what news is happening outside."

"Boss, you are really big-hearted..."

Su Qing complained, and then recounted the comments about him on the Internet, as well as the comments about this matter from several well-known media.

Fans on the Internet don't have much opinion, although at the beginning of 2003, there were only tens of millions but less than [-] million Internet users in China.

But sometimes the opinions of netizens are still very important. After all, many news editors like to excerpt certain comments from the Internet.

Regarding Jiang Pei'an's filming of a folk tune, most netizens said it was novel and fun, and the most interesting thing was the difference in status.

Jiang Peian, a famous director who has been on the Cannes awards stage, actually had such an unknown side in his early days.

This is a man who plays the role of Yangchun Baixue and lowly people to the extreme.

As for the news comments, they are interesting and polarizing.

Some people think that Jiang Pei'an is making a spoof of opera culture, which is vulgar, flattering culture, deliberately catering to rural old ladies, and spreading incorrect value orientations.

Moreover, the media holding this part of the view account for a large proportion, even somewhat overtaking the media holding the opposite view.

After hearing Su Qing's words, Jiang Peian nodded. From the moment he decided to step on the stage, he had no intention of hiding it.

Of course, he had no intention of hiding it from the public before, but no one ever discovered it.

"Ignore those voices on the Internet, folk tunes are not as vulgar and ugly as they say.

If it's true as they say, folk tunes can't even get out of New Ontario, let alone become popular all over the country. "

The early development of folk tunes is indeed influenced by Qi Yuefei and Jiang Peian's deliberate promotion.

However, as his influence has grown, he has been noticed by relevant cultural departments. Qi Yuefei has been dragged into talks several times.

Of course, this conversation is positive.

You say that folk tunes are vulgar and flattering to the audience, and you recommend that they be banned?

Then you have to first ask whether the Xinyang City Government agrees and whether the Xin'an Provincial Department of Culture agrees.

After all, folk tunes have directly or indirectly created many jobs since their development, and they have also become a cultural business card and symbol of Xinyang City.

In this context, how can things be changed so easily just by the sarcastic words of a few media outlets?
play? !
After hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Su Qing felt a little calmer.

"Boss, when will you return to Beijing?"

"Come on, I'll go back the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, then I won't say much more. We'll talk about it later when we meet."

……

After the news about "Jiang Pei'an and Folk Minor Songs" became popular, the most direct result was...

Sales of folk ditties increased eightfold year-on-year.

In the past, folk ditties were only available to middle-aged and elderly people, but this is no longer the case.

Have you ever seen a scene where a senior white-collar worker wearing a suit and tie walks to a video store and says to the boss, "Bring me a copy of "The Frustrated Husband Fights the Smart Wife."?
Or the delicate woman wearing a hip-hugging skirt and twisting her waist would say: Get me a plate of "My Miserable Mother".

Curiosity is what drives science, but it’s also what sells products.

Many people are curious just to see what folk tunes are.

What on earth does Jiang Peian rely on to sell this stuff all over the country?

As a result, the moment I pushed the disc into VCD or DVD, a door to a whole new world opened...

"My family members don't know. Ever since I watched Director Jiang's folk tune, my wife and my mother haven't quarreled for three days. I started to panic a little."

"The same goes for our family. My son, who is in his third year of high school, has watched the folk tune called "My Poor Daddy".

He doesn't skip classes anymore and starts studying when he gets home. He used to rap a lot, but now he starts humming folk tunes. "

"To be honest, I thought it was vulgar and boring when I first started watching it, but after watching two or three episodes, I really found it interesting."

“College students said that the folk tunes are really good, with many versions in almost every dialect area, and the plots are very life-like.

The performances of these uncles and aunts are also very exciting, which is very helpful for our major in studying folk customs. "

"I declare that from now on my idols will no longer be celebrities, but Li Zizi and Wang Hong!"

……

Folk tunes have received unprecedented attention and have become the most discussed words during this New Year holiday.

This is becoming a cultural phenomenon.

"I believe everyone knows that folk tunes are really popular recently, and you are famous!"

On the morning of the sixth day of the lunar month, there was an internal meeting of the folk tune company.

Before leaving Xinnan, Jiang Pei'an decided to hold a meeting for the actors of folk tunes.

People No. [-] looked at Jiang Pei'an on the stage seriously.

“Our sales are steadily increasing, which is inseparable from your hard work, but at the same time I also want to give everyone a heads up.

Although folk tunes have become popular, many questions have arisen. Whether they can remain popular or are short-lived is a question worth discussing. "

Jiang Peian looked around at the familiar faces below, stretched out three fingers and said:

“I only have three requests, and I hope everyone can do it. First, continue to maintain a high morale, focus on your work wholeheartedly, and don’t be complacent.

Second, you should pay attention to your words and deeds. In the early days, people said that when performing arts, you must first sell your ethics. Only when your ethics and ethics pass the test will anyone see your works.

If there is a black sheep among us, I will be the first to kick you out of the team, no matter who that person is! "

"Third, everyone must continue to learn and enrich themselves. What an artist ultimately spells out is art. Only through continuous learning can we continue on this road."

Jiang Pei'an's words were very harsh, and this was the experience he summed up from countless house-shattering artists in later generations.

It is said from the bottom of my heart...
