I'm not just a director

Jiang Peian rushed back to the capital without stopping.

The film "House of Flying Daggers" held its world premiere at the Workers' Stadium in Beijing on the 10th.

As Lao Mouzi's second costume action film after "Hero", everyone has high expectations for it.

After all, the results of "Hero" are there. Although most people criticize it, it is a real box office success.

This is destined to be an achievement that domestic films strive to catch up with.

With a strong cast, directing by Lao Mouzi, and overwhelming publicity, "House of Flying Daggers" attracted much attention even before it was aired.

After being screened, it was well received by the media, with various press releases flying everywhere.

Among them, the story behind this movie has been constantly discussed by marketing accounts.

It is said that the original starring list of "House of Flying Daggers" also included Mei Yanfang (playing the role of the eldest sister of the Flying Sword Clan).

Unfortunately, Mei Yanfang passed away due to illness at the end of 2003 and missed this movie forever.

Lao Mouzi deeply regretted this, and said that when Mei Yanfang was seriously ill, she repeatedly emphasized that she really wanted to play the role, but it became an eternal regret.

In order to express the crew's regret and respect for Mei Yanfang's trustworthiness, Lao Mouzi finally decided to temporarily modify the script and leave the role of the eldest sister to Mei Yanfang forever.

There is also a subtitle at the end of the film, "This film is dedicated to the memory of Miss Mei Yanfang."

Some media people said that the crew spent 80 US dollars to buy local flower seeds in Ukraine and hired more than local flower farmers to sow sunflowers.

However, since no one was fertilizing and taking care of the flowers during the special period, Lao Mouzi discovered that the sunflowers were not growing well enough when he went to the local area to shoot, so he had to find a new place to shoot.

During the filming of the film, a horse suddenly broke into trouble while running in a straight line. Kim Sung-wu was unable to dodge and fell to the ground, causing his left knee and two ligaments to tear.

After Kim Sung-wu returned to the crew, six staff members used bamboo poles to lift his wheelchair to simulate the scene of riding a horse, thus re-shooting the scene of him walking on horseback.

Of course, "House of Flying Daggers" well demonstrates the consistent style of Lao Mouzi's movies: exquisite location selection.

The Peony Square in the film was a high-end entertainment venue in the Tang Dynasty. The entire 360-degree rotunda is magnificent, and all the carved beams and paintings are carefully carved in various peony shapes.

The mist-shrouded bamboo forest in the film was shot from the bamboo sea in the mountain town of Yongchuan.

The splendid sea of ​​flowers, silvery birch forests and picturesque distant mountains were taken from the Ksovo National Forest Park in Ukraine.

At the same time, the costumes in "House of Flying Daggers" break through the vulgar styles used in previous martial arts movies. Everything from the fabrics to the shapes are unique, such as the police uniforms and hats of Andy Lau and Takeshi Keisei.

In the Peony Square scene, Kim Sung-wu’s satin pants and boots with fine embroidery.

The international chapter's long skirt, three-meter long sleeves and embellishments all reflect the various styles of that era.

Of course, some people think that the script of "House of Flying Daggers" is full of loopholes.

If the Feidaomen's painstaking plan is just to attract the officers and soldiers of the General Prefecture to fight to the death, then the next piece of paper, specifying the time, place and people will be successful.

But in this case, the little sister has no chance to see Jin Baotou, and Yu Chang does not look like a dying person at all.

The little girl pulled out the flying knife from her chest to save Jin Captou, and blood spurted out instantly. Unexpectedly, after a while, the little girl stubbornly opened her eyes in Jin Captou's arms.

This little sister’s tone is really “hard to swallow”…

Regardless of whether it is good or bad, all kinds of overwhelming news indicate that the movie "House of Flying Daggers" is enough to kill the movies of the same period in an instant just by relying on the reputation when it is screened.

Regardless of whether people are optimistic about it or not, it seems certain that Lao Mouzi's movie will exceed 100 million at the box office.

……

When Jiang Pei'an arrived at the premiere of "House of Flying Daggers", the entrance to the outside of the workstation was already filled with luxury cars of celebrities.

A red carpet starts from 500 meters in front of the entrance and extends to the background wall of the entrance sign-in area.

Although the weather in Beijing was not good today and it was raining non-stop, the fans on both sides of the red carpet remained enthusiastic.

They kept waving movie posters and shouting the names of stars, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

This premiere was obviously very grand, and Lao Mouzi was also very famous, in addition to the main actors and the main creative staff of the film.

The opera queen and American soprano Katherine Battle will sing the Olympic anthem at the Athens Olympics.

Popular artists Li Zhongsheng, Zhang Xinzhe, Tong Ange, Chen Huilin, Adu, S.H.E, Han Hong.

Heavyweight singers and bands such as Pushu, Daolang and Women's Twelve Band were all present to support the celebration.

"Boss, it's your turn to show up."

Jiang Peian's car stopped at the entrance, Su Qing said with a smile.

"I see."

Jiang Peian adjusted his suit, opened the car door and walked slowly on the red carpet under a transparent umbrella.

It took him a while to get used to the noisy sounds and flashing camera lights.

"Director Jiang! Director Jiang, I love you!"

"Director Jiang, look here, look here!"

"Director Jiang is awesome!"

The enthusiastic shouts of fans could be heard from time to time. Jiang Peian held an umbrella in one hand and waved hello to the fans on both sides of the red carpet.

Walking to the other end of the red carpet, Jiang Peian began to sign and take photos on the message board.

After everything was over here, Jiang Pei'an walked to the entrance and greeted Lao Mouzi beside him.

"Director Zhang, I wish "House of Flying Daggers" a great box office success!"

Jiang Peian said with a smile.

"Thank you. How have you been busy over there lately?"

Lao Mouzi still looked like the honest old farmer he had been before, but Jiang Pei'an clearly noticed that there were more wrinkles on Lao Mouzi's face.

"It's okay. I've finally gotten through the most difficult period. I'm in the post-processing stage now."

Jiang Peian replied with a smile.

"Haha, looking at your attitude, you don't plan to keep the Lunar New Year holiday this year?"

Lao Mouzi said with a smile.

Everyone used to say that the Lunar New Year movie is the world of Feng's humor, but since Jiang Pei'an debuted, he changed his last name in the Lunar New Year movie in just a few movies, which really put a lot of pressure on Feng Xiaogang.

Jiang Peian smiled slightly and said:

"Isn't this just learning from you?"

Lao Mouzi shook his head and said:

"It's okay to slow down a little. Sometimes it's good to stop and think."

Hearing this, Jiang Peian nodded. After "Hero" failed in front of the Oscar, Lao Mouzi thought about it for a year before regaining his strength and making the movie "House of Flying Daggers".

It can be seen that he is very satisfied with this work that he has been thinking about for three years.

You must know that the script preparation for "House of Flying Daggers" started in the middle of the filming of "Hero".

After finishing the filming of "Hero" every day, Lao Mouzi would discuss the script of "House of Flying Daggers" with the screenwriter.

When conceiving the script, he abandoned the "political" and "historical" views he expressed in "Hero".

Returning to the human perspective that he is good at, he tells the love tragedy of a woman entangled between two men.

That’s why everyone can see an ingenious design in the plot of the movie:

The three protagonists all have false identities, and all three are deceiving each other.

But after peeling off the cloak of falsehood and deception, you will find that the feelings between the three people in the process of truly loving each other are real...

Jiang Pei'an and Lao Mouzi walked into the stadium together, and people kept saying hello to Lao Mouzi.

"Director Zhang, you are the protagonist today. You go ahead and let the staff take me to my seat."

Seeing Lao Mouzi busy, Jiang Peian said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go over first, and we'll sit down and chat after a while."

Lao Mouzi said with a smile. “Okay, you go ahead.”

Jiang Peian arrived at his position under the guidance of the staff.

"Director Jiang, this way."

Before Jiang Peian could reach his seat, he heard someone greeting him.

Following the sound, he looked over and saw that it was the international chapter in a formal dress waving to him.

Jiang Peian smiled slightly and walked over.

"Long time no see, Miss Zhang."

Jiang Peian said with a smile.

"It's true that you haven't seen me for a long time, but I see you on the news every day."

International Zhang said with a smile.

I have to say that Lao Mouzi's crew is really tough. International Zhang is even thinner than the last time I saw him. It's obvious that Lao Mouzi's crew has suffered a lot.

"Haha, do you have a show to perform later?"

The stage is set up, and of course someone has to perform.

International Zhang shook his head and said:

"I know how to act. If you ask me to perform, can I do a skit?"

It seemed that she was thinking of how funny she would be when she performed a skit on stage in Noda's venue, so she couldn't help but laugh.

"Just kidding, there will be a performance on stage later, so stay tuned."

Zhang Ziyi smiled mysteriously.

Jiang Peian shook his head and asked with a smile:

"How does it feel to perform with two handsome guys this time?"

After "House of Flying Daggers" came out, leaving aside other things, most girls were very envious of Zhang Ziyi.

Two handsome guys are competing for her, which is something they would never dream of doing.

"Uh...how should I put it, it's pretty cool!"

Zhang Ziyi said with a smile.

After Jiang Peian and Zhang Ziyi chatted for a while, she was called backstage by the staff to prepare for the performance later.

The celebration also begins at this time.

It started with some ordinary song and dance programs, and the audience's applause was sparse.

Most of these audiences came here for the celebrities and naturally didn't care much about the appetizers in front of them.

But when Liu Dehua appears, the audience always reacts a little bit.

“If you’d stayed one more second.

It can reduce the pain of missing you tomorrow.

I would be willing to let go of everything.

In exchange for any possible possession..."

The appeal of the "Old Heavenly King" is indeed extraordinary.

The slightly dull atmosphere at the beginning of the party was gradually improved by his profound singing skills.

Liu Tianwang also became more and more energetic as he sang. He was seen blowing kisses all over the venue, causing the fans to scream.

Even fans throughout the venue sang this familiar song with him.

Jiang Pei'an also lamented that Liu Tianwang is really a sword that never grows old, and he is still a stable group on the scene.

He was born in a slum, delivered express delivery, and worked as a shampoo boy.

He became famous in the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" at the age of 22. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for the first time at the age of 40.

He is known for his hard work in the industry. Dedication, hard work and self-discipline are all words that are often associated with him.

In the decades since his debut, he has had almost no scandals and almost no negative news.

This kind of artist who always strictly demands himself to work hard and be low-key is truly worthy of his reputation for virtue and art.

In order to cultivate new directors, Liu Tianwang also invested in an "Asian Rising Star Director Program" to cultivate a new generation of directors, Ning Hao.

Guo Fan, the director of "The Wandering Earth" 1 and 2, and others also made Huang Bo and Xu Baldou popular.

There is a saying in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong:

"One idol every year, Andy Lau for a hundred years."

With the rise of short video live broadcasts in later generations, 61-year-old Liu Tianwang once again proved his appeal.

The number of viewers of one of his live broadcasts directly exceeded 4 million, and the number of likes was 16.8 billion, leaving many celebrities behind.

One thing worth mentioning in particular is that before the broadcast, he also turned off the function of receiving gifts.

Compared with those who only want to squeeze the value of fans and make crazy money, and are busy running live broadcasts to earn rewards and cut leeks.

His "kindness" and "love" from the heart are extremely valuable in that irritable and noisy society...

"Thank you everyone, please support "House of Flying Daggers"."

After Liu Dehua's performance, he bowed to the audience and left the stage.

To put it bluntly, this celebration was all about building momentum for "House of Flying Daggers", so stars continued to perform on stage at the party.

For example, she, Chen Huilin, Han Hong, Pu Shu and others all came on stage to sing, expressed their blessings to "House of Flying Daggers", and called on everyone to go to the theater to watch it.

In the process, Jiang Peian actually discovered someone.

Singer Daolang also came on stage.

It is said that Lao Mouzi came to Daolang at that time and said: I admire your talent very much. Can you please sing on stage for "House of Flying Daggers"?

In the face of talents, Lao Mouzi was very humble and sincere, but Daolang's reply surprised him.

Daolang: I'm just a grassroots singer and can't go on such a high-end stage.

Finally, Lao Mouzi visited the thatched cottage three times and finally invited Daolang.

This year's song "The First Snow in 2002" suddenly became popular.

This song was played in the streets and alleys almost wherever there was a stereo, and everyone knew the name Daolang for a while.

Everyone is intoxicated by his singing, but no one knows who he is or what he looks like.

His rough and hoarse singing voice with endless vicissitudes of life seems to be able to transport people to the vast northwest desert in an instant

People are asking who he is, but they can only hear the singing but not see him.

Until the day of the premiere of Lao Mouzi's "House of Flying Daggers".

This man wearing a peaked cap walked onto the stage and sang the song "The First Snow in 2002".

This was Dao Lang's first public appearance, and it was only from here that people got to know him in a real sense...

However, Daolang, which rose to fame at rocket speed this year, failed to bring a sensation.

Not only was he not recognized by fans when he appeared at the Workers' Stadium, but he could only end awkwardly with sparse applause from the audience during the celebration performance.

Of course, Jiang Pei'an knew that this man wearing a peaked cap would not lie dormant because of the poor effects of this performance. His real good songs were yet to come...

"This trip was not in vain, it can be considered as something worthwhile."

Jiang Peian sighed as he looked at the man wearing a peaked cap and walking down the stage a little lonely. (End of chapter)
