I'm not just a director

The completion of "Painted Skin" is just the end for the entire crew.

But for Jiang Peian, this is the beginning of a lot of work.

Therefore, when he saw the crew members walking around the wine tables, he was envious from the bottom of his heart.

When I was working on a film crew in my previous life, the wedding banquet was definitely the favorite of every film and television migrant worker.

There is no other reason. At the closing party, whether it is a star or a director, after everyone drinks and gets drunk, you will find that the distance between each other has been shortened.

They can be good friends who talk happily over wine. All the previous unhappiness at work can be washed away with a few glasses of wine, and the grudges can be forgotten with a smile.

There are also people who will always hold grudges, but at least they won't fall out on this occasion.

Maybe you can also work up the courage to ask your favorite actress for a photo and autograph.

In this situation, most actresses will agree to this request unless they are actresses with extreme personalities.

In later generations, fans often worked as crew members in order to chase stars, and then collected photos and autographs of various stars like stamp collecting.

You can even see some actresses drinking too much at the wedding banquet and then hugging each other and crying.

Such examples abound.

When Jiang Pei'an in the previous life first joined the crew, he was lucky enough to see the actresses hugging each other and crying, with the makeup on their faces stained with tears.

Of course, Jiang Peian was not qualified to join a better crew at that time, and the actresses were not well-known entertainers.

Probably just a bit more famous than the fourth tier.

At that time, Jiang Pei'an was exposed to this kind of atmosphere for the first time, and the entire first half of the finals banquet was in a joyous state.

As a result, in the second half, the atmosphere became sentimental. After all, the crew only had temporary jobs.

We are all young people from all over the world. We have lived together for three or four months and have developed friendships with each other.

He left so suddenly and won't be able to see her again tomorrow. It's really sad to think about it.

But more of it is confusion about the future.

Jiang Pei'an remembered that he secretly wiped a few tears behind everyone's back.

But that was also the first time he shed tears on the set. The feelings were real and the tears were also real.

But later on, I saw too many quarrels within the crew, and there were too many crews participating, so I immediately became numb physically and emotionally, and there was not that much sentimentality at all.

"What are you thinking about, Director Jiang?"

When Jiang Peian was watching a pair of field service brothers drinking and fist-fighting, Zhou Xun beside him asked with a smile.

"Haha, look at them."

Jiang Peian said with a smile.

Zhou Xun followed his line of sight and saw that the two brothers who were still fisting just now were holding hands and starting to talk to each other in a daze.

Zhou Xun sighed:

"From my debut to now, I have been with dozens of crews, large and small, and I was just as inseparable as them at the beginning.

But then I got used to it. The crew just wrapped up the production and disbanded, not that we would never see each other again. Real friends are often the ones who will have the next one after one scene is over. "

Hearing this, Jiang Peian chuckled. This free and easy temper was in line with Zhou Xun's style.

"You've never experienced a crew like this since your debut, and you've never been so reluctant to part with the people around you?"

Jiang Peian asked with a smile.

Zhou Xun took a sip of wine and said lightly:

"Yes, they were like this when they were filming "Suzhou River" in 98.

I remember that after the filming was completed, Lao Jia took me on the motorcycle in the movie.

All the way from Baocheng Bridge to the end, the accelerator was increased to the maximum, and the sound of wind and the roar of the engine kept making noise in my ears. "

Jiang Peian was not surprised that Zhou Xun said the name "Suzhou River".

After all, Lou Ye is too aggressive and is a particularly unforgettable director.

As a trivia fact, "Suzhou River" was not filmed in Suzhou, but in the Magic City.

The film was shot on the Bund by the Huangpu River, which is a true portrayal of the ten-mile foreign market in the magical city.

Zhou Xun was a little melancholy, probably recalling some things from that year.

Jiang Peian did not interrupt her contemplation, but picked up the wine glass and drank alone.

"Boss Jiang, I think I will go there next month."

Wu Jing was also listening to the conversation between the two just now, and couldn't help but speak at this time.

"Going there so early?"

Jiang Peian was a little surprised.

"Well, we have to go there sooner or later, so why not go a step earlier to take on more jobs and make more friends, haha."

Wu Jing said with a smile.

This sentence also reflects his straightforward temperament. Perhaps because of his family background, Wu Jing himself is quite popular and can mingle with people wherever he goes.

After filming the TV series "Tai Chi Master" in 1998, Wu Jing had no masterpieces for several years.

So he decided to go south to Hong Kong Province for development, where he met Hong Jinbao.

Wu Jing's first big-budget film in Hong Kong was "Slaying the Wolf", which Hung Kam-bo recommended for him to participate in.

It is said that it was initially blocked by starring Zhen Zidan.

Zhen Zidan said to him:

There are martial arts champions everywhere. Not all martial arts champions are suitable to be actors, but all martial arts champions should be suitable to be security guards.

In the end, it was Hong Jinbao's recommendation that Wu Jingcai played a villain with only one line in this movie.

There is a fight between Wu Jing and Zhen Zidan in "Slaying the Wolf". The two did not set up tricks in advance, but actually fought.

Zhen Zidan broke four sticks on Wu Jing's arm.

Afterward, someone praised Wu Jing and said that your facial expressions were really similar. Wu Jing smiled bitterly and said: That really hurts!

In Hong Kong, Sammo Hung not only supported Wu Jing in her career, but also took care of her in every possible way in her life.

Later, after Wu Jing became famous, she publicly said on a program: Hong Jinbao is like his father!

"Teacher Wu, are you going to Hong Kong Province?"

Fatty Yu on the side asked in surprise.

Wu Jing smiled slightly and said:

"Go to Hong Kong Province to try your luck, maybe there will be better opportunities."

Hearing this, Fatty Yu laughed and said bluntly:

"What opportunities do Hong Kong have now? After the liberalization of policies, they all fled to the mainland. Now there are more development opportunities in the mainland than in Hong Kong.

Moreover, after "Painted Skin" is released, you may become popular again. It is not appropriate to go to Hong Kong at this time. "

Wu Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Fatty Yu asked:

"Why, do you have no confidence in Director Jiang or in the mainland?"

Wu Jing waved her hand and said:

"I don't have confidence in myself. I've been popular before, but that's what happened after that. So whether it's popular or not depends on the work."

Sun Li, who had not spoken much, nodded in agreement and said:

"Teacher Wu is right, whether it is popular or not depends on the work."

She received many film offers after the TV series "Jade Guanyin" became popular.

However, she chose the script very carefully. This time, she decided to participate in "Painted Skin" only because of the plot, management and director.

In fact, Sun Li is indeed more reliable than her family.

Later, whether it is "Happiness is Like a Flower" or "Huo Yuanjia" or "The Legend of Zhen Huan" that made her popular, they all reflect her attitude towards her works. Fatty Yu wanted to persuade Wu Jing again, but Jiang Peian shook his head at him and said:

"Needless to say, Akiko has her own ideas. Come on, let's raise a toast together. Don't worry, there are no friends in the road ahead. It's fate to get together. Let's go together."

Several people raised their glasses and clinked their glasses, and the drinks spilled on the table, but no one cared about it after drinking so much, and just drank it in one gulp.

……

"I, I can still drink, come on, let's continue!"

Wu Jing was lying on the table drinking and was a little unconscious, and Jiang Peian's head was also a little dizzy.

"Everyone drank a lot today, how about we call it a day?"

Fatty Yu's face was rosy and he seemed to be drinking too much.

"Okay, let's finish it. Go back and rest early."

Jiang Peian nodded.

"I arranged the room, just go to the front desk and give your name."

Fatty Yu reminded him thoughtfully.

"Haha, Mr. Yu spent money, then they..."

Jiang Peian glanced at the staff who were still drinking in the hall.

"They have also arranged a place to stay. If they want to continue drinking, they can continue drinking. In the end, people from the hotel will take them to their rooms."

"Okay, then let's withdraw."

Jiang Peian nodded, and as soon as he stood up, hotel staff came to help him.

"Let me do it."

Zeng Li appeared beside Jiang Pei'an silently.

"Riko, are you okay?"

Jiang Peian looked at her and asked.

"It's okay, I didn't drink too much today."

Zeng Li nodded.

"Miss Zeng can take you back. You are both on the same floor. You are not far away. You are just on your way."

Fatty Yu said with a smile.

"Mr. Yu, won't you go back with us?"

Jiang Peian asked.

"I don't need to, I'll stay and drink with them for a while longer."

"Okay, Mr. Yu, please drink less and pay attention to your health."

"Do not worry."

Zeng Li supported Jiang Pei'an, while Sun Li supported Zhou Xun, who was a little heady.

Chang Xiaoyang on the other side was half supporting and half hugging Wu Jing, who was like a puddle of mud.

"According to US media reports on the 2nd, the famous Hollywood star Marlon Brando, who starred in such excellent films as "The Godfather", "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "On the Waterfront", has passed away at the age of 80."

As soon as I got out of the elevator, there was a news report on the TV at the end of the corridor.

Hearing the host's voice, Jiang Peian stopped and looked up at the TV screen.

Several other people also stopped following his footsteps and looked up.

"The irreverent Marlon Brando is undoubtedly one of the greatest actors of our time.

He was born in a middle-class family, his father was a pesticide manufacturer, and he was expelled from school several times for being disobedient to discipline since he was a child..."

The TV program began to play a biography of Marlon Brando.

Watching the TV show, Jiang Peian murmured:

“He is not a great person, not a good person with perfect morals and clean conduct.

Not a generous philanthropist, not a good husband, not a good father, not even a good lover.

To put it bluntly, he has been notorious throughout his life and has been in debt...but he will always exist in the film industry. "

Just like Jiang Peian said, this person is indeed not a good person.

On screen, he was bohemian, and so was his private life. His love life was especially bizarre.

Only two hours after meeting his first lover, Brando proposed to the French girl and hid in a remote fishing village to share their sweetness.

His first wife was a beautiful Indian model. The two had a child before the wedding and broke up two years later.

The second wife was seventeen years older than her and was forced to get married because she was pregnant. What followed was a divorce lawsuit.

The divorce battle has not yet been resolved, but Brando fell in love with the 19-year-old Hawaiian girl Talita during the filming of "The Ship".

This time, Brando thought he had found his true calling.

He went to Paris with Terita to start a new life.

In order to express his love, Brando once retired and disappeared from Hollywood.

In 1972, the Oscar Awards announced that Marlon Brando, who played the godfather in "The Godfather", won the Best Actor Award.

As a classic of gangster movies, Marlon Brando vividly interprets the godfather's capriciousness, cunning, ruthlessness, and loyalty to his family.

The character has become one of the most memorable in film history.

However, Marlon Brando did not appear at the award ceremony.

He sent a representative dressed as an Indian girl to announce one of his proclamations:

He refused to accept the honor because of discrimination against American Indians in movies and television and recent incidents of persecution of Indians...

Ironically, he in "The Godfather" teaches people about responsibility.

But in reality, when it comes to women, he only vents and has no responsibility. When it comes to children, he only cares about procreation and no education.

In 1990, when he appeared in court to defend his son's murder.

He claimed that his ex-wife's angry divorce lawsuit more than ten years ago cast a shadow on the child and caused his son to go astray.

I don’t know if he has ever thought about how he has been busy looking for women, dumping women, and then looking for women all these years.

The one who caught the horse was that his beloved eldest son Christian shot and killed the boyfriend of his half-sister Cheyenne and received ten years in prison.

As a result, Xia An became depressed and became ill. After giving birth to her boyfriend's child, she committed suicide in 25 at the age of 1995.

In the end, Christian spent ten years in prison to make Brando admit his failure as a human being.

At the funeral, the old and fat Brando cried and apologized.

After this case, everything changed for Brando.

In order to help his son get out of jail, Brando took out a bank loan and sold his mansion, resulting in a huge debt of four million pounds.

And he had long developed the habit of spending money without restraint, and gradually became unable to make ends meet, so he once again participated in the filming of some movies.

But in the film industry at this time, those new stars who regarded him as their idols had grown into popular stars. The waves behind him pushed the waves ahead, and he was photographed on the beach.

There are fewer and fewer job opportunities, and foreign debts are mounting.

For a long time, Brando relied mainly on a pension of 3,200 pounds a month from the Screen Actors Guild and a government retirement allowance of 1,000 pounds.

However, the bad luck was not over. Louise, Brando's live-in girlfriend who had been Brando's domestic servant, filed a lawsuit in court in 2003 to recover living expenses from him.

Brando was accused of breaching the agreement and failing to pay £5,500 a month for his three children.

By July 2004, 7, the day he died, he left behind eleven children and more than thirty grandchildren.

However, there was no one around him to die for him... (End of Chapter)
