I'm not just a director

For half a month, Jiang Pei'an traveled north and south with the crew of "Kung Fu".

"Kung Fu", as its name suggests, teaches a hard lesson to the currently sluggish film market, especially the Hong Kong film market.

This has made fans of Stephen Chow excited, from the successful premiere of "Kung Fu" to the current box office increase.

It was like a set of combo punches, hitting a certain strongman hard on the face.

Qiangzi was very angry and declared that Jiang Pei'an would not be able to appear in front of the public in Hong Kong.

These words naturally reached Jiang Peian's ears, but he was not afraid at all.

To him, this kind of harsh words is even more childish than going home and asking his parents if he can't beat him.

My lord, time has passed.

Even if Qiangzi has great skills and eyes in Hong Kong, Jiang Pei'an and he are not the same, and their influence will not be great.

A round of rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala has also begun. Jiang Peian's time is relatively free this year.

Since you are participating in the Spring Festival Gala, you must perform well. After all, this is an opportunity to show your face around the world.

The Spring Festival Gala has to be rehearsed at least six times every year. During this process, there will always be some programs that are ruthlessly taken down, making many actors' hard work in vain.

News about the Spring Festival Gala has also been released one after another.

For example, Na Ying is talked about by the media.

The first problem she encountered in the Spring Festival Gala was the problem of costumes.

After giving birth to her child, Na Ying took a lot of supplements and turned herself into a "Tang Dynasty beauty".

For Na Ying, coming back in the Spring Festival Gala is a big deal, but what to wear is suitable, which directly worries the crew and herself.

"Fat people seem to think they don't look good no matter what they wear."

When Na Ying was interviewed, she directly complained about herself.

Judging from the exposed pictures, it is indeed not considered suppression.

Na Ying, who was greatly shocked, also received instructions from chief director Lang Kun:

"Lose weight, at least 5 kilograms."

In addition to Na Ying, for example, there is also the performance of the King of Sketch. When the actors and the chief director were in place, the King of Sketch called to ask for leave and was absent.

During the rehearsal, the mystery of the skit "Kung Fu" that has always attracted much attention was not revealed.

That's right, the sketch the King of Sketch will perform this year is called "Kung Fu".

This is a continuation of the "Selling Kidnappings" and "Selling Cars" series produced by the king of sketches in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. The name is taken from Zhou Xingchi's movie of the same name.

This time, the Sketch King chose to bring Cai Weili and Wang Xiaohu to the 2005 CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage. It is said that he mainly focused on their head shapes.

For the stage effect of the skit, the two "little fool" characters need to appear bald, preferably with a mirror-like reflective effect, and Cai Weili and Wang Xiaohu both fit this point best.

In addition, both of them have played opposite Fan Wei before, so they are familiar with Fan Wei and can get into the role relatively quickly.

In fact, bringing the two of them to the Spring Festival Gala was a helpless move by the King of Sketch. After all, he had just ended his cooperation with Gao Xiumin and his wife.

The group Baiyun Heitu will have to wait until next year's Spring Festival Gala to make their debut, and the King of Sketch has reached the point where no one is available...

Jiang Pei'an, a director, doesn't have to interfere in matters in the sketch world. He just needs to sing his own songs well.

After the first round of rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala, Jiang Pei'an declined Shuimunianhua and Cai Yiling's dinner invitations and took a taxi back to Spark Entertainment.

"Boss, the post-production of "Fairy Sword One" has come to an end, and various TV stations have already called to ask when bidding will begin."

Su Qing walked in with a stack of folders and asked.

"The First Sword" only took three months to complete, and the rest of the time was all post-production.

Jiang Peian nodded, took the document handed over by Su Qing, looked at it, and then said slowly:

"There's no rush to bid. Just give the TV station a call and we'll organize a movie viewing party after the Chinese New Year."

Su Qing pondered for a while and said:

"I see that they are anxiously waiting, and I have told them several times about the progress of the TV series.

But they said they don’t have to wait for all the post-production to be completed. They believe in the quality of our TV series and want to win the broadcast rights before the year. "

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Starfire became an instant success with "My Love from the Star" and directly won the ratings championship that year. This can be said to provide a very reliable trust endorsement.

During the screening of "Star You" before, not many people were even willing to come and participate.

The leaders of Sichuan-Sichuan TV Station even stopped coming in the afternoon after attending the movie viewing meeting in the morning.

The results of it? "Star You" became such a hit that even the characters' outfits and food became objects of imitation by the audience.

For such a phenomenal TV series, the ratings have become a string of data.

What people really care about is the profit this TV series brings to the TV station.

For example, Huizhou Satellite TV, which was already rich and wealthy, has now become a rich man because it is receiving less advertising money.

"Let them wait first and don't be anxious. We still adhere to our consistent style of being fair and just and will allow everyone to compete reasonably."

Jiang Peian understands the thoughts of these people at the TV station to some extent.

It is nothing more than worrying that the broadcast rights of "Sword and Fairy" will fall into the hands of competing units.

Although I didn’t get the right to broadcast, my opponent didn’t get it either, so that’s fine!

This is the simplest idea of ​​​​those people.

Jiang Peian's words were a reassurance to those people.

As for whether you believe it or not, that’s another matter…

"Okay, I understand. There is also Zhang Jie's album. Mr. Shen came over to ask. Zhang Jie's album has been finalized. When will it be released?"

Since the last conversation with Jiang Pei'an, Shen Yongge has put 100% of his efforts into the production of Zhang Jie's album.

Apart from anything else, at least this time the quality was much higher than the first demo I showed Jiang Peian.

"It will also be postponed to the end of the year. When Zhang Jie is allowed to participate in the New Year song singles list, he must be given maximum exposure to the public."

Jiang Peian said slowly.

After Jiang Peian established the Spark Music Department, he personally produced three albums, and the first album became a hit for Zhou Peng.

The second album made Zhang Liangying famous, and the girl herself also achieved success. The album titled "Painting Heart" immediately attracted the attention of many people upon its release.

Just this album directly sent her from an unknown 18th-tier singer to the position of a second-tier singer.

After all, status in the entertainment industry is not achieved overnight. If Zhang Liangying wants to continue to develop in the music industry, one step at a time is essential.

This is also the development route Jiang Pei'an set for her. After all, what he wants is a long-lasting hit, not a short-lived "Internet celebrity".

The third album is Zhang Jie’s.

With the success of the first two albums, Shen Yongge has reached an unprecedented level of trust in Jiang Peian.

What kind of person is he? The moment he started, he was the rise of a singer, and the moment he started, he was a god album.

If this person were not a director, he would definitely leave his name in the music industry, and he would be among the most brilliant ones.

"By the way, I haven't paid attention to Dao Lang's news for a long time. How is he doing recently?"

After Jiang Peian signed Daolang into the company, he was basically in a state of letting go.

Of course, he sometimes gives Daolang some music advice through Shen Yongge.

But as for the specific results, Jiang Peian didn't pay attention to them.

Su Qing rolled her eyes at him and said:

"I don't know how you signed him in. You don't know anything about what they are doing in the ringtone industry."

Jiang Pei felt happy and said:

"For Daolang, the greatest trust is to leave him alone. When there is no need to put any pressure on him, he will be in better condition."

Su Qing was slightly surprised when he heard Jiang Pei'an's words, because what Jiang Pei'an said was almost exactly the same as what Dao Lang said.

"Daolang has released songs very frequently recently, basically two or three songs a month. Because online songs are not as troublesome as albums, he records a song and releases it online.

At the beginning, his influence was not bad, but after he released one song after another, his influence continued to increase.

Although the quality of the songs may be good or bad, they always find an audience, which is puzzling. "

Su Qing said directly.

Jiang Peian smiled.

Mr. Xu Jingqing, a famous songwriter of later generations, was asked when he was a guest in a live broadcast room of a publishing house:

"How about Daolang's song"

You know, Teacher Xu and Gu Jianfen were from the same era, and the former composed the music for "Journey to the West".

The latter composed the music for "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and they are both talented artists!

In the live broadcast room, Xu Jingqing was generous with his words of praise, praising Daolang as a genius in the field of composing, and no one can compare with him.

The album that best reflects Daolang's creative ability is the later hit "Folk Songs".

There is a very interesting song in this album called "Rakshasa Haishi".

This was originally a chapter of Mr. Pu Songling's "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", but instead it was taken and turned into a song.

Some people interpreted it as saying that the lyrics reflect many people who have criticized Daolang. It is a very interesting song.

"He is suitable for music. Once he devotes himself to music, it doesn't matter to him no matter how famous he is."

Jiang Peian said slowly.

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Su Qing nodded in understanding.

After understanding the company's major business sectors, Jiang Peian no longer paid too much attention.

When you are a boss, you naturally want to be happy on your own.

……

The fifth rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala has finally begun. In Jiang Pei'an's impression, this should be the last rehearsal of this Spring Festival Gala.

All the celebrities appeared in full makeup, and almost everyone had a hint of relaxation on their faces.

After all, judging from previous years’ experience, this is the last rehearsal.

As long as nothing goes wrong in this rehearsal, the actor will basically be confirmed.

Before that, every rehearsal was torture for them.

After all, someone is always replaced every rehearsal, and there are programs that need to be modified.

It's okay to make a substitution. After all, it's a pity not to let him go, but his strength really doesn't allow it.

But if it is to modify the program, it will be too miserable.

After all, each rehearsal is held at five or six o'clock in the evening, and the programs are passed one by one. After watching the programs, the leaders participate in the review.

We often know that the final result is already two or three in the morning, and then we have a meeting with the leaders, and it is basically dawn.

Therefore, the lights in the CCTV building were basically not extinguished during this period.

"Hello, Director Jiang."

"Hey, hello, Teacher Li."

"Here comes Pei'an."

"Mr. Zhang, are you here so early?"

"Hello, Director Jiang."

"Hello Hello."

When Jiang Peian walked to the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala, people kept saying hello to him.

There are some newcomers as well as veteran artists.

Jiang Pei'an's popularity is not bad, at least no one can't recognize him backstage.

But that's all. In fact, the Spring Festival Gala is the most indispensable stage for celebrities.

The major stars took turns to appear, and all the veteran artists also appeared. In terms of influence and qualifications, he, Jiang Pei'an, can only be said to be a newcomer for the time being...

"Hello, Teacher Zhao."

When Jiang Peian returned to the music group's rehearsal room, he suddenly ran into the sketch king who was smoking at the back door.

Sketch and pop music are not rehearsed together, but they always pass by the same path.

Jiang Peian took the initiative to say hello to this leader in the sketch world.

The sketch king glanced at him, the wrinkles on his face wrinkled, as if he was wondering who Jiang Pei'an was.

"Oh, you are director Jiang Peian, hello."

The sketch king's Mandarin has a hint of Northeastern accent.

The king of sketches is an authentic old farmer from Northeast China.

The king of sketches, who had not yet made his fortune at that time, became famous when he performed the duet "Grand View of the Lantern" on the big stage.

He performed this play for more than 200 consecutive performances, making him famous in the Northeast.

At that time, the Sketch King had a two-person performance of "The Blind Man Watching the Lantern" which became even more famous. It even caused hundreds of blind people to smash up the venue and say that they wanted to dig out the Sketch King's eyes.

When such a situation occurs, one is that the sketch king's performance is very successful.

The famous performing artist Jiang Kun was very curious and decided to listen to a performance by the King of Sketch in person.

After a performance, Jiang Kun was also made to laugh by the King of Sketch.

After returning to the capital, Jiang Kun recommended Sketch King to Zou Youkai and others who were in charge of the Spring Festival Gala at the time.

In the "Artistic Life" program hosted by Zhu Jun, the Sketch King also explained this link in detail.

他 说:

“I heard that when attending CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala, I had to give gifts, so I brought ten bottles of Moutai from home and took the train.

I was living in Media Center at that time, and I couldn’t find anyone to give gifts to, nor could I give them anything.

Later, it was no use trying to give it away, so I drank one bottle a day. "

Sure enough, the king of sketches went back on his eleventh day in the capital.

Later, it was not until 1990 that the King of Sketch appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

He and Huang Xiaojuan performed "Blind Date" together, officially opening the glorious era of a generation of "Kings of Sketch".

Subsequently, the cheating mode launched by Sketch King has ranked among the top three in the sketch category almost every year.

No matter what the outside world says about the sketch king, Jiang Pei'an really likes Liu Laogen who looks like a big guy.

After all, how many people were willing to watch the Spring Festival Gala because of his sketches.

"Teacher Zhao, do you know me?"

"How can I not know him? He is a great director. Do you think my image can be used in your movie?"

The sketch king asked with a smile while smoking a cigarette.

Hearing this, Jiang Peian also grinned.

The king of sketches has acting skills. Anyone who has watched "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots" knows how good his acting is.

If we really want to invite the king of sketches to star in a movie...

Jiang Peian fell into deep thought. (End of chapter)
