I'm not just a director

Regarding Zhou Xingchi's invitation, Jiang Peian thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

Zhou Xingchi is naturally very happy to cooperate with Jiang Pei'an. He admires this great director who has become famous at home and abroad in recent years.

Last year's "Infernal Affairs" produced by Hong Kong Province is now called a salvation movie by the media. The quality of the movie is definitely beyond words.

This makes Zhou Xingchi have more urgent hopes for his new movie. To win, at least it must exceed the box office of "Infernal Affairs".

Just relying on Hong Kong Province, the market is limited. New movies come out every year, and the competition is very fierce.

Due to policy reasons last year, "Infernal Affairs" was not released in mainland China. Otherwise, mainland movies would be busy.

Therefore, Zhou Xingchi set his sights on the mainland...

"I heard that there are going to be big moves up there recently."

Wang Zhonglei, the boss of Huayi, looked at Zhou Xingchi and said pointedly.

Wang Zhonglei's words immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the field.

Jiang Peian smiled slightly. He knew what Wang Zhonglei was going to say. It was this big move that made Zhou Xingchi so actively seek cooperation with the mainland.

Zhou Xingchi thought for a while and said with a smile: "In the past few years, the actions above have become bigger and bigger. I wonder what Mr. Wang is referring to?"

Wang Zhonglei smoked a cigarette and said slowly: "Relax restrictions on imported films from Hong Kong Province and enjoy the same treatment as mainland films."

Hearing this, everyone in the room had different expressions. Feng Xiaogang frowned, while Zhou Xingchi relaxed his brows.

These two can be said to be two representative comedy directors in Hong Kong and Mainland China. Although they belong to the same comedy camp, their styles are completely different.

These two representatives of comedy, who have taken New Year films to the extreme, walk the fine line between business and art.

Through the absurd plots on the big screen, the audience can always laugh and think deeply about life at the same time.

But throughout their comedy careers, Feng Xiaogang's impression on the audience was always "a little bit" worse than Zhou Xingchi's.

And this little bit completely divided the two people into two different directions.

"This is a good thing. Due to restrictions on imported films in Hong Kong, many excellent films have not had time to be released in the mainland.

For example, last year's hit "Infernal Affairs", if released in the mainland, the box office performance will definitely reach a higher level, which will also be a spur and incentive for our mainland directors. "

The little steel cannon said with a grin, looking a little funny with his rotten teeth exposed in the air.

That's what they say, but everyone can imagine the situation after the policy is liberalized. Mainland film and television, which were originally inferior to Hong Kong in terms of production and technology, may end up even worse this time.

If it weren't for the two great directors Jiang Pei'an and Lao Mouzi who have successively released movies with over [-] million box office in the past two years, they might have been beaten to pieces. Even Xiaogang Pao couldn't say such optimistic words.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that because Zhou Xingchi was present, Xiaogangpao wanted to show off the momentum and demeanor of a mainland director.

Feel free to come over, we are not afraid!
Stephen Chow smiled and said, "Indeed, Hong Kong filmmakers are all looking forward to going north this time.

The policy relaxation is indeed conducive to the exchange of film and television culture between our two places, and I am also looking forward to cooperating with practitioners from the mainland. "

After hearing Zhou Xingchi's words, everyone in the room had different thoughts.

The bosses of film and television companies headed by the Wang Zhonglei brothers and the capitalist faction are secretly wary that once the policy is liberalized, Hong Kong film and television capital may also come from the north.

These people are not good people, and they are people to be wary of.

Directors like Xiaogangpao are inevitably worried. After all, the directors in Hong Kong are experienced and can control various genres.For example, Wang Jing, who is "promiscuous", Du Qifeng, who is fond of black gunfights, and Chen Kexin, who is emotionally delicate, are all strong competitors who will carve up their own box office in the future.

It can be said very bluntly that the liberalization of Hong Kong and Macao policies has completely brought the entire domestic film industry to another level.

It can be said that the next step is to enter fierce competition. In this process, many new and old directors will emerge from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places, and some directors will also "die" in this process.

But there is no doubt that this will improve the quality of Chinese films to a higher level, and the film market will become more brilliant...

After everyone finished chatting, the Wang Zhongjun brothers hosted a banquet for everyone in the room, and even asked Wang Jinghua to call some of his artists to accompany them.

Hu Jun, Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, Tong Dawei and others rushed to the box one after another.

"Director Jiang, long time no see."

Hu Jun gave Jiang Peian a bear hug when he came up. Since the two collaborated on "Source Code", they have had very few opportunities to meet.

It is precisely because of the popularity of the movie "Source Code" that Hu Jun's status as an actor within Huayi is close to that of a first-line star.

"Brother Jun, long time no see."

Jiang Pei'an patted the other party's back and said happily after letting go.

"Director Jiang, long time no see, you have become much more handsome again."

Fan Xiaopang stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Bingbing, hehe, you have become a lot more beautiful. Your acting skills are good. You have to work harder."

Jiang Peian glanced at the other party and said with a smile.

03 was basically a year of cheating by Fan Xiaopang. From "Dust Settled" at the beginning of the year to "Mobile" at the end of the year, her resources were extremely good.

This is partly due to the role Jiang Pei'an assigned her in "Inception", and also to Wang Jinghua's overt and covert support for her.

Tong Dawei and Li Bingbing stood aside in embarrassment, especially Li Bingbing. At first, she offered herself a pillow seat in the car to ask for a role. As a result, today she not only served Jiang Pei'an tea and water at the company, like a polite lady.

When he arrived at the dining room, he watched helplessly as his "competitor" Bingbing flirted with his favorite director.

So angry!
"Hello Director Jiang."

Tong Dawei didn't know the grudge between Jiang Pei'an, Li Bingbing and Jiang Pei'an. Seeing that his "fellow senior sister" had not said hello, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

"Haha, you are so great."

Jiang Pei'an nodded, his eyes wandering back and forth between Fan Xiaopang and Tong Dawei. Add Tony Leung, and the "Apple" crew would be all assembled...

"Okay, stop standing and take a seat quickly. Director Jiang, please come in."

Wang Zhonglei took Jiang Peian's shoulders and pushed him towards the inside.

"Hey, how can I sit here? You two, Mr. Wang, Director Zhou, and Director Xiaogang, please go ahead and I can just sit outside, haha."

Seeing that it was the main position, Jiang Peian quickly declined.

Several people were pushing and shouting, but Li Bingbing, who was standing aside and wearing a cheongsam, felt quite bitter in his heart.

Originally, she was thinking about how to greet Jiang Pei'an, but before she could say anything, Jiang Pei'an was pulled away by her boss... (End of Chapter)
