I'm not just a director

After several of the cousins ​​who came to catch the autumn wind were sent away, Jiang Pei'an could finally rest for a while.

"It's true that you are poor in the downtown area and no one knows you, and you are rich in the mountains and have distant relatives. These people are really snobbish."

Uncle Jiang Peian sneered.

Jiang Peian rubbed his head and said with a smile:

"Our relatives are pretty good, but some celebrities have been ruined by their relatives, which even affects their careers."

When Mother Jiang on the side heard this, her face changed with fright, and she quickly said:

"Cousin Peian and the others, will they..."

She didn't finish what she said, but everyone knew what she meant.

"How dare they! No, I have to teach them a lesson!"

Hearing this, Uncle Jiang Peian picked up the bench at hand and rushed out to beat them.

"Second!"

Jiang Peian's father scolded him, then took the bench from his hand and said:

"Listening to the wind all day long is like rain. Who told you that they are going to harm Pei'an? You are already several decades old. Don't be so impulsive!"

Hearing his brother's scolding, Uncle Jiang Peian put down the bench in his hand and muttered:

"I just can't get angry at how they take it for granted."

Although the Jiang family was poor in the early years, the old man still attached great importance to the Jiang family's family tradition.

My uncle is already in his forties, but he still listens to Jiang Peian’s father.

The eldest brother is like a father.

It was rare to see his father deflated, and his younger brother Jiang Peijian was snickering on the sidelines.

"Little bastard, why are you laughing? I haven't settled the score with you yet for wanting to secretly see a female classmate this afternoon!"

Seeing his son laughing at him, Uncle Jiang Peian immediately caught his son.

"Dad, Dad, didn't you just teach me a lesson in the afternoon? Besides, I didn't go to see my female classmates. It was my brother who was talking nonsense."

"I just don't like you, so come here and get beaten yourself!"

The little brother said "Oh" and slowly walked up to his grumpy father.

Not long after, the little brother walked out of the hall with a resentful look on his buttocks.

"Okay, Pei'an has had a hard time coming back today. It's getting late. Let's go back and rest."

Finally, Jiang Peian’s father concluded his speech.

Jiang Peian also nodded. Today he was flying and driving, and he had to deal with relatives when he came back. He was indeed very tired.

After returning to his room, Jiang Peian called the three women respectively.

Everyone was busy during the Chinese New Year, but they didn't talk too much. After spending time with them separately, Jiang Pei'an also climbed into bed to sleep.

……

Early the next morning, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

Jiang Peian's hometown is located in northern Anhui, with four distinct seasons, and it snows every winter.

As the snowflakes fall, the flavor of the New Year in the village becomes stronger.

This kind of New Year flavor can last until the Lantern Festival. The so-called New Year is within the fifteenth year.

From the first day of the first lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, this half month is equivalent to celebrating the New Year.

However, with the development of the times, people's pace of life has accelerated, and Xinyang City is also a major labor export province.

Usually after the fifth year of the Lunar New Year, the smell gradually dissipates. After all, young people begin to go out to work one after another, and only the elderly are left in the village.

People have been coming in and out of Jiang Peian's house during this time, and the cars at the door can hardly stop.

As long as a car comes in at the entrance of the village, it goes without saying that it must be coming to Jiang Pei'an's house.

As the most promising third generation of the Jiang family, and having just come off the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, Jiang Pei'an suddenly became popular all over the country.

I heard that Jiang Peian was not married yet, and the matchmakers came one after another.

Not to mention, they didn't care about Jiang Peian being a great director or star, or being in the Spring Festival Gala.

In the eyes of these matchmakers, no matter how awesome you are, as long as you are single, you have to get married, right?

Don't talk about issues that you don't like. They all have one nose and two eyes, and no one is nobler than the other.

What's more, maybe Jiang Pei'an has fallen in love with the girl he introduced.

No one can tell for sure about feelings.

The matchmakers came one after another, and the Jiang family became numb.

At first they would refuse, but as more and more people came to the door, no one would explain.

Anyway, it was Jiang Peian who had a headache in the end.

"Sister-in-law, go help Pei'an and talk to the matchmakers. I'm afraid the child will be embarrassed to refuse."

Auntie and Jiang's mother were washing dishes. She glanced at Jiang Peian who was surrounded by matchmakers and said worriedly.

Jiang Peian's mother glanced at it and said:

"It's right to let this kid suffer some hardships. Tell me what he's been doing all day. Why don't you just take Yuanyuan over to celebrate the New Year?

If these matchmakers knew that he had a partner, they would no longer be embarrassed to introduce him to a partner.

As a result, not only did he not bring Yuanyuan back, he also refused to let us announce that he had a girlfriend.

What about being afraid of delaying his career... People talk about starting a family, but he hasn't gotten married yet. "

It seemed that she was very angry with Jiang Peian.

She had mentioned the matter of inviting Gao Yuanyuan back for the New Year to Jiang Peian many times.

In the end, he just didn't care. Now it's okay, something happened!

"Pei'an, look at this girl. She even went to college. Look, she's very beautiful. Just wait and enjoy the blessings after marrying her! Hahaha."

"Pei'an, this is my niece. She's pretty, right? She's teaching in the county now. She's good-looking and has a good personality. This kind of person is best suited to live a good life."

"Look at this girl I introduced..."

"And I……"

The matchmakers surrounded Jiang Pei'an and talked to him all over the place.

At this moment, Jiang Pei'an felt as if there were countless people chanting sutras in his ears.

"Dear aunties, the girls you recommend are all good girls. I am still young and have no plans to get married yet."

Jiang Peian announced helplessly.

"Oh, you are not young at your age. Pei'an, let me tell you, you can't be too picky."

"Pei'an, we have watched you grow up. You can't be proud just because you have achieved a little bit now. If you want to ask for a wife, you should choose someone who we know everything about you."

"Yes, getting married is a top priority. Choosing someone who knows everything is most important!"

The matchmakers talked a lot. Jiang Pei'an now has one head and two heads. He took out his mobile phone and said to everyone:

"Everyone, my parents are at home, and they have the final say on my marriage. I have other things to do here, so please stay for a while while I go out to get busy."

After saying that, Jiang Peian wiped the soles of his feet and slipped away.

He never expected that when his parents and grandparents stopped urging the marriage, a large number of matchmakers would come to his door.

Seeing Jiang Peian running away, the matchmakers began to "besiege" Jiang Peian's mother again...

……

After walking out of home, Jiang Peian walked aimlessly in the village.

"Drip drip."

Just as he was thinking about things, Jiang Peian was suddenly awakened by the sound of a car horn.

Looking back, I saw that it was Qi Yuefei driving a big G.

Seeing this old boy, Jiang Peian grinned and walked to the car. Qi Yuefei lowered the window and said with a smile:

"Hey, isn't this Director Jiang who just appeared in this year's Spring Festival Gala? Why does he have free time to wander around in this quiet little village like ours?"

Jiang Peian patted the car and cursed with a smile:

"Get out of here, this is our village, okay? I can walk around wherever I want. It's up to you. Mr. Qi is awesome. This car changes every day."

In 2004, some imported car dealers began to introduce Big G into the Chinese market.

This model launched by Qi Yuefei was the one that just entered China in 04.

"Didn't I go to your house to look for you? I heard that you were besieged by a group of matchmakers and fled."

Qi Yuefei said with a grin.

Jiang Peian opened the door and sat in, saying:

"It can't be said that they are running away. It's just that they are too enthusiastic. If you don't go to celebrate the New Year, what do you want to do with me?"

"Haha, I have to give you, the big boss, a New Year's greeting first. The development of the company depends on you to point the way."

Upon hearing his words, Jiang Peian immediately understood and asked:

"what's up?"

Qi Yuefei started the car and said:

"Hey, what else can it be? It's just the development of the company."

“What happened to development?”

"Didn't you read the report I sent you?"

Qi Yuefei asked, leaning against the car.

"Look, even though profits have dropped, they haven't dropped by much."

Qi Yuefei shook his head and said:

"But this is the first time our company's performance has declined in as long as it has been established, and it exposes too many problems."

Today, the Xin'an Provincial Folk Art Troupe has almost become the largest group engaged in folk tunes in the country.

Almost 80% of the folk tunes on the market are produced by art troupes.

Compared with other groups that also perform folk tunes, Xin'an Folk Art Troupe can be said to be the absolute king.

But as Qi Yuefei said, for such a rapidly growing company, its performance actually experienced negative growth for the first time in its history.

Whether it's a coincidence or the market is shrinking, it's hard to say what's going on.

Jiang Peian nodded and said:

"I understand what you mean. It's just that we have encountered a bottleneck. This is easy to solve and open up new business lines."

Folk ditties are CD audio and video products, and CDs are not digestible products.

It's like an album, you can watch it over and over again after buying it.

Moreover, the audience of folk tunes is mostly rural people, and one disc can be watched over and over again.

As long as the disc is watchable, they won't want to buy folk tune discs for the time being.

This also leads to the fact that many people often watch the discs in their hands several times, just like people change computers. As long as they can still be used, they will not replace them and buy another one.

"New business line?"

Qi Yuefei asked puzzledly.

Jiang Peian smiled, but he was recalling some things in his mind.

"Country Love" should be ready for filming now.

"Country Love" is known as "Game of Thrones" in China, "House of Cards" in Northeast China, and "Nirvana in Fire" in Peninsular China.

It's hard to believe that the famous "Country Love" originally had only two protagonists.

It was released in 2006. It is a light comedy that reflects the love, marriage, and career life of rural youth. It is also a rare contemporary rural youth film.

The whole play focuses on the love life of college student Xie Yongqiang and rural young woman Wang Xiaomeng.

What people see in later generations is actually a continuously improved version of the "Country Love" universe.

Therefore, "Country Love" must not be copied...

Jiang Peian's idea of ​​developing in a different direction is to let folk minor art troupes create their own film and television projects.

Yes, there is no doubt that the final path of folk tunes must be film and television.

After all, Jiang Peian had seen the end of folk tunes in later generations, which can be said to be very miserable.

Therefore, Jiang Peian has set a "film and television" development path from the beginning.

Now is the opportunity.

Different from the TV series "Star You" and "Fairy Sword" produced by Xinghuo, the TV series produced by Folk Minor Art Talk will focus more on rural areas and comedy.

And the cost will be correspondingly much less.

But as for the script, Jiang Peian is still considering it.

So, Jiang Peian told Qi Yuefei the story template of "Country Love".

Although the drama "Country Love" is all about trivial matters.

But I have to say that his casting was very successful and impressive.

What's more, "Country Love 1" has not yet been released, and there have been more than a dozen movies made after it. Even if Jiang Pei'an mixes it for him, there will definitely not be any traces.

"It's good to make a TV series. I think it's very implementable."

Qi Yuefei patted the steering wheel and said excitedly.

But then he thought about it again and said:

"Does anyone really want to watch this kind of comedy we make? Most of the rural-themed dramas these days are sad dramas."

It seems that Qi Yuefei is very familiar with today's rural themes or the TV series that everyone likes to watch.

This is indeed the case at this stage, such as the TV series based on a famous rural female entrepreneur in Xin'an Province.

This TV series roughly tells the life of the heroine after she marries to the countryside.

Originally, the blind date was with the eldest brother of the two brothers, but unexpectedly, he fell in love with the younger brother and later married him.

This show was very popular at the time, and the whole family would sit together and watch it after dinner.

This drama is "The Woman in Charge" filmed in 2003.

How else could a woman marry twice, only to have her husband die unexpectedly?

Her first-married husband died at sea while fishing, and she began to raise a family by herself to raise two children.

Later, she was deceived by her uncle into marrying a butcher who lived an even poorer life. The butcher also had two children and a demented father who needed to be taken care of.

The arrival of the heroine and two other children made this poor family even more miserable.

The kind butcher happened to pick up a little beggar from the street...

But fortunately, the heroine is diligent and capable, and the butcher is also a diligent person, so the two of them live a busy and comfortable life.

But not long after, when the family was just harmonious, the butcher died of a sudden illness, leaving behind a family of six or seven people.

Although the population is large, there is only one labor force: the heroine.

In that era when there was not enough to eat, we had to provide for five children to study and support the elderly with dementia.

Under feudal rule, this mother was forced to shoulder the burden of life. Let's see how she fights against fate and overcomes difficulties to raise her children to adulthood...

This drama was definitely the favorite TV series for many women at the time.

Its name is "Spring Stepmother's Heart"...

Combining these and thinking about Jiang Pei'an's rural comedy, Qi Yuefei was a little shaken... (End of this chapter)
