I'm not just a director

Chapter 289 The People Are Like Rainbows

Just as Jiang Peian said, he did interview four more groups of actors.

But the performance of these four groups can be described in one word: lackluster.

There are no bright spots and no shortcomings. Maybe there are more shortcomings.

After much thought, Jiang Pei'an still felt that Liu Tianxian and Hu Ge were a better pairing.

Sure enough, a person's first impression is unmistakable.

One week after the audition, Jiang Pei'an informed the two of their casting as the male and female protagonists of "Heartbeat".

The two were overjoyed and said they would definitely live up to the expectations of Director Jiang and the teacher.

With less than a week left before filming started, Jiang Peian contacted Chang Xiaoyang with a phone call.

This guy was still upset about missing the filming of "Inception". As soon as he heard that Jiang Pei'an's new movie was about to start filming, this guy came directly to the company without saying a word.

"Old Chang, you will be the executive director this time. We still have less than a month to prepare. You have a heavy burden on you."

Looking at the brilliant Chang Xiaoyang, Jiang Peian said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Director Jiang, I always promise to help you complete your mission."

Chang Xiaoyang's chest clapped loudly.

"Okay, by the way, Lao Chang, you have seen it now. I am no longer filming at China Film. Are you interested in coming over and helping me? When our company's business develops, the company will invest money for you to make movies, and you can also become a director. "

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

To be able to become the royal executive director of Li Shaohong and Lao Mouzi, Chang Xiaoyang's ability must be above the standard.

Jiang Peian is currently short of talent, whether it is actors or behind-the-scenes staff.

With Jiang Pei'an's reputation and influence, as long as he raises his arms in the circle, he will definitely have many followers.

But based on the principle of "preferring less than excess", he has always been very strict about this aspect.

Basically, he takes the initiative to recruit talents, such as Chang Xiaoyang.

"Director Jiang, to be honest, I'm tired of being an executive director. I also want to start making movies. There are also investors who are willing to invest money for me."

Chang Xiaoyang was stunned when he heard Jiang Peian's invitation, and then continued:
“But after you have been in this industry for a long time, you know how difficult it is to be a director. Of course, hard work and tiredness are nothing.

After all, outsiders call us film and television migrant workers. What I fear most is that we won’t come across good stories. It’s easy to make a movie, but it’s much more difficult to achieve good results and high box office than being a director.

Instead of making a few rubbish movies, I might as well hug you directors tightly. Anyway, it's you who are the ones scolding the movie fans for smashing the box office, and it has nothing to do with me, hahaha. "

What Chang Xiaoyang said is true. The director must bear the brunt of the film's success or failure.

"Isn't it just a story? Don't say it pitifully. I'll give it to you when the time comes. You can choose any genre, including romance, action, and science fiction. How about it?"

After hearing Jiang Peian's words, Chang Xiaoyang immediately became excited.

"If you say that, hey, why did we sign the contract, Mr. Jiang?"

Yes, the attitude changes quite quickly, and there is no need to ask about the treatment.

"The contract has been prepared for you. You will be treated according to the director's treatment. For now, help me support the crew."

"Okay, don't worry. After one month, you can just join the team and sit in front of the monitor. Leave the rest to me."

Chang Xiaoyang patted his chest and promised.Jiang Peian smiled and nodded. Film and television is an industry with extremely high technical requirements. It is a technical job, and the crew must be formed by experienced veterans like Chang Xiaoyang.

Jiang Pei'an can also do this himself, but he has his own things to do, and it is certainly impossible for him to devote himself entirely to the preliminary preparations of the crew.

……

Under the leadership of Chang Xiaoyang, the preparation work for "Pumping Heartbeat" moved at a rapid pace as if the double speed button was pressed.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and in mid-May, the weather gradually became hotter.

The opening ceremony of "Heartbeat" was scheduled to take place in Yunnan Province, and all scenes involved in the movie were reviewed one by one by Jiang Peian before being approved.

Hu Jing, as the first generation "Ann Girl", also appeared at the opening ceremony.

After all, Yunnan Province is this girl’s home turf, and her boyfriend wants to film a movie in his hometown, so of course she has to come over to support him.

"Director Jiang, this movie is about love. On behalf of many fans, I would like to ask you a question. When do you plan to fall in love? Or, if you are already in a relationship, when will you announce the good news?"

At the Spring City Hotel, at the opening ceremony of the movie "Heartbeat", a reporter asked Jiang Pei'an this question.

There was no big warm-up in the early stages of "Pumping Heartbeat".

But after all, this is Jiang Pei'an's fourth film after returning to China.

At the same time, it was also his first movie after ending his cooperation with China Film Group. It didn't even need to be warmed up, and the buzz was ridiculously high.

Although the opening ceremony of "Heartbeat" was not held in Beijing, it still attracted a large number of media and fans from all over the country to attend.

Although friends in the circle did not come to support, they still sent blessings through the air in the form of VCR.

After watching the blessing VCRs from all the big-name stars and directors, reporters on the scene began to ask questions.

When asked about Jiang Peian's criteria for choosing a spouse, a reporter asked him about dating.

When the reporter's question was raised, everyone in the audience turned to Jiang Pei'an, with the fire of gossip burning in their eyes.

As the "Diamond King" in the director world, Jiang Pei'an's relationship issues have attracted much attention. Just from the rumors spread by the outside world, Jiang Pei'an has been rumored to have had affairs with more than 20 female stars in the entertainment industry.

But what to say about this thing? Without pictures, there is no truth. Even the formal media did not take it seriously.

Today happened to be the start of filming for a new movie, so a reporter took advantage of the situation and asked it.

Jiang Pei'an clearly noticed that several eyes were falling on him. Needless to say, the strongest one must be from Hu Jing.

This question must be answered carefully, otherwise not only Hu Jing will be unhappy, but Dameiyuan far away in the capital will probably have other ideas after seeing the report.

He had to find a way to deal with it. Thinking about it, he suddenly smiled and said:
"Some people live in high-rise buildings, some live in deep ditches, some are brilliant, some are covered in rust..."

Everyone in the audience was a little confused when they heard Jiang Peian's sudden sigh.

This is reciting poetry, isn’t it a bit awkward?
When Jiang Pei'an was halfway through memorizing it, he suddenly remembered the song that Director Chen recited at the Olympic bid meeting, "Suddenly coming from outside the sword to close Jibei..." He suddenly felt like his scalp was numb and his toes were hard on the ground.

Oops, I actually got Director Chen's "script"!
However, he still bit the bullet and continued chanting:

"There are thousands of kinds of people in the world. Don't look for them in the floating clouds. This person is like a rainbow. When you meet someone, you will know there is one... Please cherish the people in front of you."

After saying this, Jiang Peian vaguely glanced at Hu Jing with his peripheral vision.

I saw this girl looking at him lovingly, seeming to be very satisfied with his answer.
