I'm not just a director

Jiang Pei'an's sudden road show indeed shocked many people.

First of all, a lot of people gathered at the scene. When people from other halls heard that Jiang Peian was coming to perform, they stopped watching the movie and rushed over to join in the fun.

And those photographers who were waiting in the theater to prepare for the premiere of "Painted Skin" lamented that the materials arrived in time.

More than 20 theater staff were dispatched to the scene to maintain order, and Jiang Peian also held a microphone to constantly remind these people.

"Everyone, please don't crowd. We won't leave here, so be careful where you step..."

"Director Jiang, please give me an autograph."

"Zeng Li, I like you so much!"

"Zhou Xun, you are always the most beautiful!"

Fans shouted enthusiastically in the audience.

The road show only lasted half an hour. Jiang Peian and the main creators of "Painted Skin" chatted with fans for a while, and then got a reminder from the theater owner.

"Everyone, thank you for your support. If you think "Painted Skin" is exciting enough, recommend it to your friends. Thank you."

Amid the fans' appeals, Jiang Peian and others evacuated the theater.

"Director Jiang, let's go back first. See you tomorrow."

"Director Jiang, I have also withdrawn."

"Boss Jiang, see you at Beidian tomorrow."

A group of people greeted Jiang Peian one after another.

"Okay, go back and be safe. See you tomorrow."

In the end, only Jiang Peian and Zeng Li were left on the roadside.

"Let's go back too."

At three o'clock in the morning, the capital is no longer as bustling as it was during the day, but the streets are still not deserted, and people can be seen hurriedly walking by the roadside from time to time.

"it is good."

Zeng Li followed him obediently.

The driver was already waiting in the car. Seeing Jiang Peian and Zeng Li get on the car, the driver asked:

"Mr. Jiang, let's go back to the hotel?"

"Well, that's troublesome."

The hotel arranged by Jiang Peian for everyone is right where we ate before.

"Mr. Jiang, you are so polite. This is what we should do."

The driver smiled.

When they arrived at the hotel, the driver went to park the car, while Jiang Peian and Zeng Li returned to the hotel.

"Come to my room later."

When they parted, Jiang Peian said with a smile.

"Hmm~"

Zeng Li lowered his head and whispered.

Seeing the girl twisting away, Jiang Peian felt a flash of fire in his head.

However, he still suppressed the feeling in his heart. When he returned to the room, he took a shower first, and then opened the laptop he brought with him to type.

The road show schedule for "Painted Skin" has actually been planned long ago.

In Beijing tomorrow, the roadshow address will be Nortel.

No. 2 is in Magic City, No. 3 is in Jinling, No. 4 is in Chengdu...

During the seven-day holiday, I was busy almost every day. Basically, I had a road show in the morning and took a plane to the next stop in the afternoon.

Such a high-intensity road show can be said to be the first time since Jiang Peian's debut.

But there is no way. As the film market continues to expand, the audience's requirements for film quality are getting higher and higher.

Movie roadshows can allow the audience to learn more about the movie, thereby giving the audience more trust and goodwill in the movie, which is conducive to expanding the movie market and increasing box office.

Moreover, during the road show, the core team such as actors and directors will interact with the audience and share photos, videos and live broadcasts of the road show through social media to further expand the influence of the film.

At the same time, audiences will also share their feelings of participation and evaluation of the movie through social media, forming word-of-mouth communication and attracting more people to pay attention to and watch the movie...

Jiang Peian was typing documents on his laptop when a knock on the door came.

He stood up and opened the door, and a scent of fragrant wind rushed towards him.

Outside the door was Zeng Li, who had just finished washing and was wearing silk pajamas.

The pajamas hugged her snugly, outlining her perfect curves.

She had just finished washing, and her black hair was still a little wet, and the peaks under her white neck were huge.

Jiang Pei'an smiled and leaned aside to let her in. Then he stretched his head and looked outside, then closed the door and continued to sit at the computer.

"What are you doing?"

Zeng Li hugged him from behind, pressed her pretty face against his shoulder, and pressed against her back, asking in a greasy voice.

"I'm looking at the road show tomorrow."

"It's almost four o'clock. Let's go to bed quickly, okay?"

Zeng Li shook his body slightly and whispered.

"Haha, are you sleepy?"

"I felt sleepy at the reception, but after I went out for a walk with you, I didn't feel sleepy at all. I'm not sleepy now."

Zeng Li shook his head and said softly.

Hearing this, Jiang Peian turned around and held her in his arms:

"That's what you thought?"

"Disgusting~"

Zeng Li rolled his eyes at her, then ruffled his hair with his hands.

Jiang Pei'an couldn't bear this. He picked Zeng Li up by the waist and picked her up amidst her exclamations.

……

At 7:30 in the morning, Jiang Peian woke up on time.

Opening his eyes, a pair of white arms were surrounding his neck.

"Get up, little lazy boy."

Jiang Peian patted the beauty in his arms and said with a smile.

"Hmm~ It's dawn now? I'm so tired, I don't even want to open my eyelids."

Zeng Li muttered and turned over to continue sleeping.

Jiang Pei'an, however, reluctantly turned her body over and said with a smile:

"You must have suffered a lot because of your mischief last night. Get up quickly. If you are late, you will miss the road show."

The two of them basically didn't sleep, and they only slept together for about an hour.

"Well, after the road show is over, I have to come back and catch up on my sleep."

Hearing what Jiang Pei'an said was serious, Zeng Li quickly got up and the quilt slipped off, revealing her fair and smooth shoulders.

"You can rest on the road this afternoon."

I have to rush to the Magic City in the afternoon to prepare for the road show the next day. I guess this girl will have enough time to sleep.

The two of them washed up, had a hasty breakfast, and rushed to Nortel.

After arriving, we rushed to the small auditorium without stopping.

Just when Jiang Pei'an and Zeng Li rushed to Nortel, the outside world was in turmoil because of yesterday's series of announcements about "Painted Skin."

"Movie Painted Skin, a rare exquisite masterpiece!" 》

"There was a long queue in the theater in the early morning. This is Jiang Pei'an's strength!" "Bernard bets on Jiang Pei'an, and the painting makes Yu Dong smile from ear to ear with joy! 》

"Dozens of celebrities attended the premiere of Painted Skin. Jiang Pei'an's connections in the entertainment industry are simply terrifying! 》

"Shocked, Jiang Pei'an made a surprise late-night theater roadshow appearance with her beauty! 》

Sure enough, as Jiang Peian predicted, reports about "Painted Skin" were everywhere in major newspapers and entertainment news the next day.

The report praised the movie "Painted Skin" and the premiere ceremony as well as Jiang Peian personally, which aroused many people's discussions.

"Painted Skin itself is a story with a demon as its core, and it is the weirdest one in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio.

Zhou Xun's Xiao Wei is the core part of this movie. Her temperament perfectly integrates the artistic conception the movie wants to express, and she uses her acting skills to support the tone of the movie.

I believe this also set the best example for future fantasy film actors.

In addition to Zhou Xun, Wang Sheng played by Jiang Peian and Wang Sheng's wife Pei Rong played by Zeng Li all performed very well.

We all have witnessed Zeng Li's acting skills. He has mastered such a calm and pure character, performing it naturally and realistically, with full emotions and sincerity.

The most surprising thing is director Jiang Pei'an, who has both good and evil qualities.

He played Wang Sheng affectionately and charmingly, with a sense of ignorance but also a different kind of tenderness.

Also starring Wu Jing and Sun Li, they both contributed great performances. "Painted Skin" is a very good start for Chinese fantasy films..."

Of course, no matter how much praise the outside world gives, Jiang Peian and others are still working hard to get there.

Entering the school, Jiang Peian also saw Zhou Xun's car.

She probably just woke up and looked listless...

Although it is during the holidays, there are still many students from Nortel.

After all, even if you get into Nortel, not everyone will have the opportunity to go out and take roles.

According to Nortel's official website, it is the only independently established higher education institution of higher education in film and television education in China, and continues to be a leader among the more than a thousand universities offering film and television education across the country.

It is the largest professional film school with the most comprehensive set of majors in the world today. It has been ranked third in the global film and television school rankings for many consecutive years.

According to official data provided by Nortel in a later year:

The number of applicants for the Performance Academy reached 9693, an increase of 13.69% compared to last year.

The enrollment ratio of the Performance Academy that year was 194:1, which means that candidates must stand out among two hundred people to have the possibility of reaching the finals.

In the same year, the admission rate of 985 universities across the country was 1.9%. In comparison, the difficulty of passing the art exam of the performing arts department can be seen.

However, the two hundred people in the same arena are not just "amateurs".

Amateurs have to compete on the same stage with "star contestants" who have already appeared on the screen. It is difficult to find a degree from a top acting school.

The art exam scene has also become the "second stage" for idols

In the competition of "stars", it still shows that "some people are happy and some are worried".

Despite the tough competition, the art exam path is still burdened with a lot of discrimination.

In the eyes of many people, art candidates have several major characteristics:

I have poor grades, my family is rich, and I want to take a shortcut to get into a good university.

In fact, policies introduced by later countries raised the threshold for cultural courses in the college entrance examination. The number of applicants for the art exam reached one million, but the final admission rate was lower than that of undergraduate students.

A CCTV survey showed that the probability of art graduates changing careers is about 70%.

There are very few art-related positions that society can create.

Many people simply changed careers completely, becoming civil servants or joining the army.

Finding a job is difficult, and becoming a popular star is an unattainable goal. The chance of becoming a famous star in one fell swoop is only 0.003%.

Most of the 108-line young actors can only "plan the team" and play small roles.

The so-called "planning group" describes the situation where many young actors find the place where the crew is stationed, go to submit their resumes, and look for acting opportunities.

If I find an acting opportunity, the monthly salary I can get is just over 5,000 yuan.

Living in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen is really hard to do, and they can be called "low-level film and television migrant workers".

There is a very famous "planning group" hotel in Beijing called "Piao Home".

This is an express hotel similar to Home Inn, with a crew stationed in each room, giving young actors the opportunity to submit their resumes and have interviews.

In Hengdian, known as the "Hollywood of the Industry", about 30,000 extras are waiting to be selected by the director every day.

In addition to the "Wang Baoqiang-style" grassroots, it also includes graduates of professional schools with no background and connections.

They squatted on the trash can to eat lunch, worked continuously for 25 hours, and stood in mink clothes all day under the 35-degree sun, for a pittance of wages.

Therefore, passing the Nortel Art Entrance Examination is only the first hurdle, and development is still to come, but more students are lost in the crowd.

Now that I think about it, I can understand the behavior of those actresses who knocked on the director's door in the middle of the night to study the script.

They really want to make progress...

When we arrived at the small auditorium, the audience was already full of students. When Jiang Pei'an entered, the students immediately screamed.

"Director Jiang, Director Jiang! Look here!"

"Damn, I'm really here. I didn't go out to play during the National Day, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to see Director Jiang."

"Zeng Li, I like you so much!"

Jiang Peian waved to the students and then walked backstage.

"Are you feeling well?"

Jiang Peian smiled and greeted everyone.

"I'm okay, but Sister Xun is a bit overwhelmed...Boss Jiang, why don't you be so exaggerated? The dark circles under your eyes are so thick."

Wu Jing is indeed a martial arts practitioner. Although he stayed up late yesterday, he is still very active today.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's have a good rest on the plane in the afternoon. As for the mental state, let the makeup artist cover it up later."

Jiang Peian said slowly.

Time was running out, it was already ten o'clock after Jiang Peian and others finished putting on makeup.

For half an hour, Jiang Peian sat in a chair, closed his eyes and rested, preparing for his next speech.

"Let us give the warmest applause to invite the creative team of the movie "Painted Skin" to meet you."

"Crash."

Hearing the applause from the front desk, Jiang Peian patted his face, cheered up, and said:

"Let's go, they're calling us from the front."

"okay."

When several people appeared on the stage, there were screams again.

Jiang Pei'an's popularity can be said to be unrivaled among young people in recent years.

On the one hand, he is also a young man, and on the other hand, his temperament is very appealing to young people.

Especially what he did in Hong Kong Province, when reports spread back to the mainland, it really attracted a wave of fans from passersby.

Jiang Peian was wearing a T-shirt with the words "Painted Skin" printed on it. He held a microphone in his hand and said:

"Thank you to the students for coming to support us during the holidays. Thank you all."

"You're welcome, Director Jiang, please come to Beidian more often. We all miss you very much."

"Director Jiang, some people say that you like China National Theater and not Nortel, but I don't believe it!"

"Come on, Director Jiang, we support you!"

Sure enough, the students' expressions were pure and enthusiastic. No one would dare to shout like this in the outside world.

Hearing the voices of the students, Jiang Peian smiled and said:

"Some classmates said that Nortel and I were at odds. This is absolutely nonsense. I just simply don't like some of Nortel's actors.

But everyone should also know that I am also a visiting professor in Nortel’s Directing Department.

Of course, I didn't come to attend a few classes because of work.

But no matter what, Nortel is also my home, haha..."

Jiang Peian said with a smile on the stage, and the students only reacted after he reminded him.

Yes, Director Jiang is still a professor in our college!

It’s just that this professor isn’t very reliable, he’s just in name only! (End of chapter)
