I'm not just a director

Chapter 298 So are we eating dog food?

Jiang Pei'an did not refuse the olive branch offered by Fatty Yu.

As Fatty Yu said, now everyone is grouping together to keep warm, and the era of fighting alone has passed.

The era of fighting out of a mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood with a movie is going away little by little.

Especially in later generations, no matter how good your movie is, if it has no publicity or scheduling, how will it get any box office?

No matter how well you applaud, it’s all in vain if the audience can’t see it.

However, Jiang Peian is not that pessimistic. As long as Han Shanping is still in power, no, it should be that Han Shanping is gradually coming to power, his life will not be too difficult.

In addition, Han Shanping is now in his prime. When he comes to power, early "doglegs" like Jiang Peian will at least be able to drink broth.

Of course, the premise of these is that Jiang Peian still maintains the status quo and concentrates on filming.

As long as he does something to strengthen himself and Spark, it won't be too bad...

The three-day exchange meeting ended. This grand meeting was reported online, in newspapers, and on TV news.

Especially when celebrity faces appear in news reports, they attract the attention of countless fans.

"Damn, there are so many celebrities. I wish I could go there."

"Don't think about it. All the big stars are there. We ordinary people can just watch the news on TV."

"Did you see that at the end of the first day of the exchange meeting, Jiang Pei'an gave a speech on the stage.

Darling, is Director Jiang so awesome?The people sitting under the stage are all boss-level beings. "

"You don't even have to look at the people who are here. Directors from Hong Kong Province, whether they are art films or commercial films, are all there.

Although the box office of our mainland movies has increased in the past two years, our background is insufficient.

Director Jiang, as a younger generation of directors, took the stage to deliver a speech, which in itself represents our mainland film industry.

And this also sends a signal. In the next few years, the domestic film and television industry is expected to open up and fully enter commercial films. "

"The analysis by the boss above is awesome, but isn't it a pity to give up on art films? After all, commercial films are just popcorn movies. In terms of spiritual sublimation, they must be art films."

"Come on, you, can you keep watching the artistic movie? He just put his arms around the girl, flirted and kissed her in the movie.

Let me tell you, what you do in a movie theater is clearly visible on the surveillance camera - advice from a movie projectionist. "

"Upstairs, please elaborate on the surveillance content..."

People in the mainland are having heated discussions, and the media in Hong Kong are not going to let these big names go to the mainland to participate in exchange meetings.

"Director Liu, may I ask if this trip to the mainland to participate in the exchange meeting will have any inspiration for the Hong Kong film industry in the future?"

"Director Er, as the president of the Film Association, will the various policy changes in the mainland have an impact on the current structure of the Hong Kong film industry?"

Liu Weiqiang, Er Dongsheng and others were surrounded by Hong Kong media as soon as they got off the plane.

Seeing that there were more and more people surrounding them, they could not break through for the time being, so they had to stop and said:
“I did gain a lot from this trip to the mainland, including policy-related things.

However, there are some policies that have not yet been implemented and we are not yet in a position to disclose them to the public.

Not only can we not say that, but even the media attending that day had similar confidentiality agreements.

There is not much that can be said. It is probably about strengthening cooperation between the two places. After the relevant policies are implemented, we will see the effects.

I can tell you responsibly that Hong Kong cinema will not decline, and we are confident that we can regain our former glory. "

Er Dongsheng's words were quite emotional. The media present seemed to feel the solemnity in his tone, and they stopped pestering what was said at the exchange meeting.

"Director Er, you just said that we should strengthen cooperation between the two places. How will we cooperate? Should our employees go to the mainland to shoot, or will people from the mainland come to Hong Kong?"

A reporter asked.

"Uh... It's hard to say. Since it's cooperation, it must be effective if both parties move around."

Er Dongsheng's words are quite conservative, but in fact, starting from this year, Hong Kong film and television practitioners collectively went north to seek opportunities.

After all, everyone has witnessed the development of the mainland in the past two years. Compared with Hong Kong Province, the mainland market is really huge.

Going north to film now is almost like carrying a sack to pick up money.

Moreover, Hong Kong stars have natural advantages and preferential treatment in the mainland. Whether they are behind-the-scenes staff or cast members, as long as they are on the mainland crew, they are definitely superior to others.

Everyone knows how to make a lot of money while enjoying the feeling of being superior.

As if to confirm what Er Dongsheng said, not long after this interview, the Hong Kong media keenly captured the influx of a large amount of mainland capital into the Hong Kong film and television market.

One thing that is more obvious to ordinary Hong Kong citizens is that the number of film crews filming in Tseung Kwan O Industrial Park in the New Territories and Tai Po Tsai in Clear Water Bay has increased significantly.

At the same time, dozens of crews started working, filming around the clock, and the small place was filled with people, making it very lively.

And if you get closer, you will find that there are many mainlanders who speak Mandarin.

People in Hong Kong have also seen many celebrities active in the mainland.

This is like a shot in the arm being injected into the Hong Kong film and television industry, making practitioners feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.

At the same time, Hong Kong media were also reporting on the matter and even made a red and black list.

The red list is naturally the mainland artists that Hong Kong Province most welcomes to shoot in Hong Kong.

Naturally, the black list does not welcome those artists to come to Hong Kong for filming.

What’s interesting is that the two lists have the same name at the top of the list...

Jiang Pei'an.

The tangled character of Hong Kong people is vividly reflected in these two lists.

……

Jiang Peian, who was filming in Yunnan Province, naturally received the news that he was on the two lists.

He was very depressed about this.

"I just can't figure it out. Am I popular or not?"

Jiang Peian, who was on the set, hung up the call from Er Dongsheng and muttered.

Jiang Pei'an did not carry anyone behind his back when he made the call, so Er Dongsheng's non-standard Mandarin naturally fell on the ears of Hu Jun who was beside Jiang Pei'an.

"Haha, isn't this normal? People in Hong Kong must be happy to see your movies. After all, several of your movies have high box office in Hong Kong.

But because you have offended too many Hong Kong media, those people will not just watch you become popular. They have to do something secretly to make it more normal. "

Hu Jun worked hard in Hong Kong Province for a period of time in his early years, and he still has a certain understanding of the environment there.

"Hey, it doesn't matter if it's a red list or a black list, as long as it has a box office."

Jiang Pei'an waved his hand and said with a smile.

"You're right, as long as the market is enough, black and red are also red."

Hu Jun said with a smile.

"Oh, Brother Jun, you are so enlightened, great!"

Jiang Peian gave a thumbs up and said with a smile.

"Fuck you, I only came to this realization after filming "Dragon".

Before taking the role of Qiao Feng, the media said that I was not suitable for such a heroic and heroic temperament.

They all think that I am from a literary film background, so I should have a literary style. As a result, the more I act, the more I feel. If you don’t believe me, ask Sissy. "

Hu Jun pointed at Liu Tianxian who came over and said with a smile.

"Ask me what?"

Liu Tianxian asked with a confused look on his face.

"Nothing. Is it over there?"

Jiang Peian shook his head and asked.

"Yes, one pass, hehe, teacher, you didn't see my performance just now. Director often praised me for my good performance. My progress is very obvious." Liu Tianxian raised his head like a proud little swan.

Jiang Peian patted her raised forehead and said to Liu Tianchi who followed her:
"It's not because Teacher Tianchi's guidance is good. Remember it in the future, lay down the basic skills, and don't go out filming all day long. Next time I won't have time to ask the instructor to help you."

Liu Tianchi smiled and said:
"Sissi is very talented in acting, and I didn't do much to help."

"Teacher Tianchi, don't say that. This child is a rooster. If you praise her, her tail will rise to the sky."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

After hearing Jiang Peian's words, everyone smiled kindly.

Liu Tianxian, on the other hand, pouted dissatisfiedly.

She was given preferential treatment in the crew, not just because of her status as the heroine and Jiang Pei'an's apprentice.

Also because she has social attributes, she can chat with everyone on the crew.

With good looks, a good personality, and a good background, this kind of person will naturally get along well on the set.

Jiang Peian looked at Hu Ge who was holding a script and reciting lines not far away, and asked:
"Teacher Tianchi, how is Hu Ge's performance?"

Liu Tianchi thought for a while and said:

"The talent is above average. The key is that this child is willing to learn and can endure hardship. His personality is relatively calm. If he is polished well, he will be a good prospect."

Liu Tianchi's evaluation is quite fair. Before the car accident, Hu Ge's acting skills were not that extraordinary.

Of course, this is also related to personal experience and age.

Since the car accident, some of the thoughts of people who have experienced life and death are different from before, which is a kind of transformation.

Of course, it would be best if this transformation did not happen. It would not be a good thing.

"What's the matter? You're in love with talent and want to sign him?"

Hu Jun looked at his little brother Hu Ge and asked with a smile.

Jiang Pei'an shook his head and said:
"I already have a company, so poaching... I want to poach a big guy like you more than poaching a little guy."

Hu Jun laughed and said:
"When the day comes when I can't afford to eat under Sister Hua, I'll come see Director Jiang again."

Hu Jun is an actor from Huayi. From his words, Jiang Pei'an could not feel his sense of belonging to Huayi, but he trusted Wang Jinghua very much.

Wang Jinghua, a woman who can make her artists so determined, still has some tricks.

Jiang Peian shook his head and joked:
"Brother Jun, you are so dishonest. You can't even make a living, so you want to come to my Xinghuo. This is obviously treating Xinghuo as a trash can, hahaha."

"I didn't say that. If you think so, Director Jiang, there's nothing I can do about it."

"Scumbag."

"Hahaha."

A few people chatted for a while, and Chang Xiaoyang informed that the scenery had been arranged.

Jiang Peian took Liu Tianxian, Hu Jun and others to the transition place to continue filming...

After entering July, the heat is gradually approaching, but fortunately the weather in Yunnan Province is very stable, and a jacket can handle it.

The filming of "Heartbeat" went very smoothly and is expected to be completed in early September.

For this movie, Jiang Peian focused on creating atmosphere and emotion, which is something that many directors cannot capture after filming for many years.

After all, it's not like an action movie that just piles on big scene shots and then completes it through intense shot splicing and adrenaline-spiking music.

In the words of later generations, Jiang Peian wanted to make an atmospheric movie.

Therefore, mood, rhythm, and plot are extremely important.

"The light is a little hazier and softer. The scattered light hits the two people, simulating the early morning light."

Jiang Peian sat in the director's chair, looked at the picture on the monitor and shouted.

"understand!"

The lighting team responded very quickly and quickly adjusted the light source to the effect Jiang Peian wanted.

"Okay, let's take an actor's position. Sissi shouldn't smile so happily, but should have a reserved, natural smile.

Hu Ge, you are so happy to see that the girl you like is finally willing to come to see you. This is the first scene after you confirm your feelings. "

"I understand Director Jiang."

"Okay, all departments are ready, start up!"

"Turn on!"

"Turn on!"

……

In the yard, Liu Tianxian walked slowly from the hut to Hu Ge.

There was a slight smile on her face, the sun slowly hit her body, and her fair skin revealed a healthy beauty.

The disheveled hair floated slightly with the morning breeze and movement, and the sycamore tree swayed slowly in the background.

Hu Ge stood in front of the dug tree pit, holding a shovel in his hand, watching the girl he liked slowly approaching.

"Do you need my help?"

The two looked at each other for a while, and the previous misunderstanding disappeared at this moment.

Liu Tianxian asked proactively with a smile.

"Okay, we have to turn the soil soft first and put all the tree roots into the hole.

The original soil mark should be level with or slightly below the ground level. After planting, it needs to be reinforced and watered..."

Hu Ge was talking nonchalantly.

Liu Tianxian, however, smiled and listened carefully, and the two slowly put the saplings into the tree pit.

"You know a lot of things."

Hu Ge knelt down and filled the hole with soil, and Liu Tianxian followed his example and dug the soil.

"I asked the gardening teacher."

At this time, the three faces next to the monitor were grinning unconsciously, showing aunty smiles.

"These two really seem to be in love."

Hu Jun sighed.

"Sunshine, grass, and young and ignorant feelings are like rainbows. When you meet them, you will know what they are."

Chang Xiaoyang looked envious.

"Old Chang, this is your situation."

Jiang Peian said casually.

"Hehe, say what you feel, say what you feel."

The rough guy Chang Xiaoyang scratched his head and said with an embarrassed smile.

Jiang Peian nodded with a smile and continued to focus on the monitor.

Just kidding, this is the Immortal Sword CP, the best partner in the hearts of countless people.

Now that it has been put on the big screen for two years, the effect is not inferior to Fairy Sword at all.

On the monitor, under the sunlight, brown soil and two pairs of white hands slowly dug the soil and sent it to the tree pit.

At a certain moment, the two hands slowly came closer, seemingly touching accidentally, and then they were held together again.

The two of them raised their heads at the same time and smiled at each other, then let go and continued to plant the small sapling that symbolized extraordinary meaning to them...
