I'm not just a director

How to define Jiang Peian?

A film director, a very good film director. There are not many films with a domestic box office of over 100 million, but he has three of them alone!

Although actors are not even close to being excellent, they can still defeat a group of young domestic talents in later generations.

Perhaps because he is so successful as a director and actor, many people ignore his identity as a singer.

Except for two songs released on Village Night, plus a few singles released as stepping stones in the early years, he rarely releases songs.

He is more involved in music as a creator...

"Director Jiang, come on."

Lu Gengxu whispered next to him.

Others also smiled at Jiang Peian, as if waiting for him to show off his singing voice.

"Thank you."

Jiang Peian stood up and walked towards the stage. The accompaniment of the music had already been played.

So when Jiang Pei'an walked onto the stage, the prelude to the music started.

A piano sound like falling jade poured out, which sounded very beautiful, followed by the electric guitar's intervention, and the rhythm was very obvious.

"Is this a love song?"

After hearing the prelude, Tsai Yiling had some questions.

But then Jiang Peian's voice sang.

"I stopped and walked along the way, following the traces of the young man's wandering.

I hesitated a little before I stepped out of the station..."

Yes, the song Jiang Peian decided to perform was "The Wind Rises" which caused a storm on the Internet in later generations.

In later generations, "The Wind Rises" was a cover of a Japanese song. After it was adapted into Chinese, it received more than 10 comments in the comment area.

This song has attracted public attention due to its unique artistic conception and its covers by many famous musicians.

And its popularity has remained high, and the reviews have been overwhelmingly positive.

Someone said: "When I heard this song, scenes from the past came to mind, and I couldn't stop crying."

“I used to be overwhelmed by the size of the world and indulged in talking in my sleep.

Not allowed to be true or false, not struggling, not afraid of jokes, I once turned my youth into her

I once had midsummer popping up at my fingertips, and just let it go as my heart moved..."

Jiang Pei'an originally planned to cover JJ's version, but his singing skills were not up to par, and he didn't have the high notes of the original version.

So he tried to lower the key as much as possible and sang the chorus in falsetto.

Even so, everyone present was shocked.

"Although this song is difficult, the technique is not the most eye-catching thing about it. The most important thing is its lyrics."

"The lyrics are very artistic and beautiful, and have a strong resonance!"

“If I were to sing this song, I would probably handle it better technically.

But it's not my song. I really don't know how a director could create this kind of music. "

"I have a hunch that once this song gets out, many singers in the music industry will cover it."

On the stage, Jiang Pei'an was singing passionately, and everyone in the audience was mesmerized.

Wang Haixing, who was sitting in the commentary box, finally understood why Jiang Peian had such a confident look on his face before.

It turns out that they have a trump card.

Before that, he had already made preparations if Jiang Pei'an's new song performed poorly.

Then he will come forward and let Jiang Peian sing old songs from the past.

No one stipulates that old songs cannot be sung during the Spring Festival Gala. After all, "Unforgettable Tonight" has been sung for several years.

Many singers sing their own old songs on stage. It is normal for Jiang Peian, a director, to sing old songs for outsiders.

What's more, "Gong Xi Fa Cai" and "Where Has the Time Gone" are also rare masterpieces, completely in line with the theme of the Spring Festival Gala.

But he didn't expect that Jiang Pei'an would actually come up with a piece that was as good as any previous old song.

When he heard the chorus, he was already sure that Jiang Pei'an was destined for this year's Spring Festival Gala!

“I still marvel at how big the world is, and I’m also intoxicated by my childhood love stories.

No truth or falsehood left, no struggle, no point in making a joke.

I finally gave her my youth back, along with the summer that popped out of my fingertips.

Whatever your heart moves is gone with the wind, are you still willing in the name of love..."

Finally, in Jiang Peian's inaudible sigh, the faint sadness and relief gradually penetrated into everyone's heart along with the singing.

Nine times out of ten you will be sad when you hear about love, nine times out of ten you will be hurt when you hear about the past.

Everyone has probably had a relationship buried deep in their heart.

It is the normal state of love to be moved by the heart but unable to do anything about it.

Because loving someone passionately means feeling the beautiful heartbeat of a deer.

Experience the wonderful state of mind of being happy and sad because of another person's happiness.

Most people who appear in life are just passers-by.

Love, hate, experience the ups and downs of life, and ultimately become a better person.

If you can't get the feeling, let it go with the wind.

The road always has to go forward, and as we go forward, new people will appear.

Drink porridge with you in the morning, wake up with you at dusk, comfort you when you cry, laugh with you when you are happy.

The long-lasting warm love in the name of love will definitely exist as long as you believe it.

"Crash".

There was warm applause, and some people secretly wiped the corners of their eyes with the backs of their hands.

Wang Haixing sighed and drew a tick on Jiang Peian's name with a pen.

Cai Yiling in the audience applauded with red eyes.

Jiang Pei'an's singing brought back many memories of her past.

So, when Jiang Peian came down from the stage, Cai Yiling walked up to Jiang Peian with a pleading look on her face:

"Director Jiang, what's the name of this song?"

""got windy"."

"Is this song original to you?"

Jiang Peian thought about it and realized that the original song was the theme song for "Midnight Diner" composed by Japanese composer Yu Takahashi.

I don't know where this idea "Late Night Canteen" was, so he nodded shamelessly.

Hearing this, Cai Yiling quickly said:

"I like this song very much. Can I cover it after your performance? My agency will contact you about the cost, is that okay?"

Jiang Peian glanced at Tsai Yiling in surprise. All the singers present might want to cover "The Wind Rises", but Tsai Yiling was the only one who couldn't.

After all, this girl is known for singing and dancing, but now she wants to cover a slow song like "The Wind Rises"?

Of course, this girl's love songs are also very good, such as "I heard love comes back".

Seeing Jiang Peian's hesitation, Cai Yiling quickly said:

"I really like this song and I want to try it."

Seeing the pleading in her eyes, Jiang Peian smiled and said:

"Of course, it doesn't matter the cost. You can cover it if you want, but you have to wait until the song is released." "I understand, that's for sure. Thank you, Director Jiang."

Cai Yiling said with satisfaction.

Jiang Pei'an waved his hand. He himself bought this song for free, and others' cover would also help spread the song.

After the selection of the pop music group was completed, Wang Haixing took the small notebook in his hand and announced:

"Everyone's performance has been recorded, and now we are waiting for the selection by the director team.

There will be a phone call to confirm with you soon, and you will be notified by phone whether you have been selected or not.

So everyone’s contact information must be filled in correctly and kept open. Thank you for your hard work. "

After saying these words, Wang Haixing glanced at Jiang Pei'an and led the people out of the studio.

Jiang Peian, Cai Yiling and Shuimunianhua said hello and returned to the company.

Time passed quickly, and it was already the beginning of December in a blink of an eye.

During this period, the box office of "Painted Skin" exceeded 2.65 million, and finally settled at million!

What is the concept of a box office of 2.65 million?

Lao Mouzi's "Hero" has become the ceiling of domestic movie box office, with a score of 2.5 million.

But "Painted Skin" directly refreshed this record, which makes people crazy!

"The box office of Chinese movies was saved by a fox demon!"

"Jiang Peian, who was overshadowed by Zhang Yimou's "Hero", finally avenged his shame with "Painted Skin" after "Heartbeat".

The old man and the young man directly boosted the box office performance of domestic movies! "

"2.65 million! Sure enough, there is still a market for movies like Love, Love, and Love. What about those experts who said that "Painted Skin" is not good? Do their faces hurt?"

There are a lot of discussions about "Painted Skin" on the Internet, and most of them are fans of Jiang Pei'an.

Some people even took screenshots of previous comments made by film critics on the Internet and repeatedly beat them up.

The success of "Painted Skin" further stimulated a group of Bernard's senior executives. They were very happy to listen to Fatty Yu's words and maintain close contact with Jiang Peian.

Bernard Cinema Management Company is already making preparations. This company will be the umbilical cord for their relationship between Bernard and Jiang Peian.

Entering mid-December, apart from the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals that are in full swing, Jiang Pei'an also has one more thing to do...

"It is reported that the movie "Kung Fu" is about to be released. We can see that director Jiang Pei'an has appeared in Hong Kong to promote "Kung Fu" with Stephen Chow."

"'Kung Fu' is coming, and the promotional images of Stephen Chow and popular director Jiang Pei'an are exposed."

"When Jiang Pei'an comes to Hong Kong, the Hong Kong media retreats to avoid his edge!"

News reports kept coming out one after another, and there was a feeling that the storm was coming.

Jiang Pei'an did come to Hong Kong and was entrusted by Zhou Xingchi to promote "Kung Fu".

This is also Jiang Pei'an's first appearance after breaking the box office record of "Painted Skin".

"Director Jiang, how do you feel about breaking 200 million? Can we talk about it?"

"Director Jiang, some people call you the number one director in the mainland. How do you feel about this?"

"Director Jiang heard that you are going to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala. Can you tell us about the program you will perform?"

If you only look at the above interview questions, you will probably think that this is a normal interview in the Mainland.

But when the place is replaced by Hong Kong Province, and the identity of the media becomes Hong Kong media, you will find how incredible this is.

What is the biggest feature of Hong Kong media?

vicious!

In later generations, after singer Deng Ziqi became famous overnight, his net worth skyrocketed, and his leather pants were ridiculed by everyone.

And once, Deng Ziqi finally changed from the leather pants that made countless people complain and put on white shorts.

However, this still did not escape the vicious tongue of the Hong Kong media, calling her a "cosmic diaper".

It has also been said to be a disaster warning, a shirt-level storm, and a cosmic diaper blowing up the earth!

Fan Xiaoxuan is actually the image of a little girl next door, but for a while Fan Xiaoxuan was very tanned, and the media began to make a big fuss saying that she was a "black pearl eating monster."

It seems that in Hong Kong, people will be criticized whether they are fat or thin.

An actress was photographed with her hands on the beach, and she was immediately called "salted fish walking on the waves".

And Shao Meiqi lost weight due to physical reasons, and they said he was extremely thin.

This is especially true for celebrity romances, which are nothing in the Mainland in comparison.

For example, "Le Jier took out her prosthesis and became a bomb disposal expert, and a certain actress married into a wealthy family, just like a bus drove into a wealthy family..."

The reports were even more exaggerated when Huang Xiaoming and Yang Tianbao were not divorced.

After the photos of Yang Tianbao at the beach were released, the Hong Kong media reported that "the ribs are zero or the belly is too big."

The most common question is about Yang Tianbao’s plastic surgery.

Even though the media has come up with a lot of comparison photos, she just doesn't admit it.

When Xiao Ming and Yang Tianbao got married and had a child, they were said to be:

"Artificial androids..."

So, what makes someone who has always had a sharp tongue be so content?

The reason is that the man is back!

Regarding the media's questions, Jiang Pei'an did not answer too many questions, but left the camera to Zhou Xingchi:

"Please ask some questions related to the movie, thank you."

After hearing Jiang Peian's words, everyone immediately changed the direction of their questions:

"As far as I know, this is your first time working with Mr. Xing, Director Jiang. Can you tell us about your experience of working with Mr. Xing?"

"'Kung Fu' is about to be released. What are your expectations for it this time?"

"How much of a scene did you have with Mr. Xing? Are there any plots that impressed you?"

The speed at which the topic was changed... The Hong Kong media's well-behaved attitude made people feel distressed.

"Thank you for your questions. This cooperation with Director Zhou has taught me a lot of useful experiences..."

Isn't this the right thing to do? It's nice to have a friendly interview with everyone, so why cause more trouble!

……

"Kung Fu" will be released in China on December 12.

Since its release, it was the highest-grossing Chinese-language film in the history of Hong Kong Province. It was not until the release of the movie "Cold War II" in 2016 that it broke this record.

When it was released in mainland China, "Kung Fu" also beat the Hollywood blockbuster "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" from the same period.

It is also the tenth highest-grossing foreign-language film in U.S. history and the highest-grossing foreign-language film in the United States in 2005.

The film won numerous awards, including six Hong Kong Film Awards and five Golden Horse Awards.

In fact, "Kung Fu" won a total of 22 film awards and 33 nominations at home and abroad, and overseas awards accounted for more than 8% of the overseas box office.

So, when a reporter asked Jiang Peian what was his biggest feeling about participating in this movie?

Jiang Pei'an used it once and was honored.

Yes, it's a great honor.

The day before "Kung Fu" was released, it seemed to be inspired by the premiere of Jiang Peian's "Painted Skin".

Stephen Chow held a grand premiere ceremony in Hong Kong Province.

However, due to Xiang's family commitments, not many Hong Kong stars attended this grand ceremony.

Zhou Xingchi doesn't care about this. What he wants is the result, never the process! (End of chapter)
