I'm not just a director

Chapter 39
In 1995, after Gong Li and Zhang Yimou collaborated on the film "Shake Ah Shake, Shake to Grandma Bridge".

After waiting for the answer she wanted for a long time, she proposed to break up in a rage.

According to media reports, the two met for the first time after breaking up at the Cannes Film Festival in 1996.

When the reporter asked whether the two would cooperate in the future.

Gong Li burst into tears, Zhang Yi was silent.

How many Cannes blockbusters have been robbed of the limelight by the release of "Silent Man and Female Tears"!
Back then, 38-year-old Zhang Yimou decided to be a director himself and filmed "Red Sorghum".

The 22-year-old Gong Li is still a rookie actor and often plays some extra roles.

In 1988, "Red Sorghum" premiered and was widely welcomed.

For this reason, Zhang Yimou won the "Golden Bear Award" in one fell swoop.

It became the first time for a Chinese filmmaker to win the highest award at the European Junior Film Festival.

……

Jiang Pei'an understood why Gong Li was hesitating when he spoke just now.

"Sister Li, it's not good to do this..."

Jiang Pei'an hesitated for a moment and said.

Gong Li smiled freely and said:
"Oh, it's nothing, it's all in the past."

Four years have passed since they broke up...

Earlier it was reported that Zhang Yimou won the film and television copyright adaptation of Mo Yan's novel "The Master Is More and More Humorous".

The outside media are all guessing what new job this award-winning director is going to do.

But "Happy Days" is a movie destined to disappoint them...

Jiang Pei'an originally wanted to reject Gong Li's suggestion, but he thought it would be nice to go to the crew of "National Teacher" to experience the atmosphere.

What's more, besides teaching Wang Xingxing and others to shoot in his hometown, he can't do anything else.

It's better to go to the capital to try your luck and find an opportunity to solve the distribution problem of "Ghost Story".

"Thank you, Miss Li, for giving me this opportunity."

Jiang Pei'an said sincerely.

"Then it's settled. You pack up your things and prepare to go to the capital to meet him."

Gong Li hangs up the phone gracefully.

Jiang Pei'an stared at the phone in a daze.

But she asked Jiang Pei'an to pack up and prepare to go to the capital.

It shows that she is sure that the person she recommends, Lao Mouzi, will definitely want...

Jiang Pei'an shook his head, not caring about the entanglement between the idiot and the resentful woman.

He took out a burned CD from home and rushed to Wang Xingxing's house.

Wang Xingxing's family moved to the county seat, and only his grandparents lived in the old house.

"Second Master, is Xing Xing at home?"

Today, the studio is off, just like the workplace in later generations, five days off and two days off.

"An Zi is here, Xing Xing is sleeping at home with her butt up, she's been sleeping all day."

Wang Xingxing's grandfather was sitting leisurely at the door, smoking dry tobacco and making willow weaving.

Willow is a specialty of Jiang Pei'an, and a crop called willow grows in the field.

Later generations made handicrafts made of willow willow and sold abroad, becoming a major feature of Jiang Pei'an's hometown.

Jiang Pei'an pulled up Wang Xingxing who was still asleep, and handed him a CD.

"You organize everyone to watch this CD together at night. I have something to go back to the capital."

Jiang Pei'an asked.

"What? I'm going to the capital again. Are you raising a woman there? Go to the capital in the first two days of three days."

Wang Xingxing muttered in dissatisfaction.

"There's a lot of nonsense, I'll leave it to you here, and call Mr. Qi or me if you have any situation."

Jiang Pei'an said calmly.

"What's in here?"

"Learning materials."

Hearing this, Wang Xingxing immediately became aroused.

He knew a lot of new words from Jiang Pei'an, and this study material represented... Hehe.

After Jiang Pei'an left, Wang Xingxing immediately regained his energy, closed the door and drew the curtains, and turned on the TV to the minimum.

Inserting the disc into the VCD player, staring at the TV screen with excitement...

"Now let's take a look at the scene types of film and television photography. When shooting, the scenes are divided into far, full, medium, near, and special..."

Wang Xingxing stared blankly at Jiang Pei'an who was typing on the blackboard in a serious manner on the TV.

True learning materials!
"Ah!!! Jiang Pei'an!"

Hearing the howling ghosts and wolves in the room, Grandpa shook his head. Does this kid miss a woman?
……

Jiang Pei'an dragged his luggage back to Beijing.

After arriving in the capital, he still lived in the villa where the movie was filmed before. Jiang Pei'an has already contacted the landlord to renew the lease for half a year.

"I'm back in Beijing."

Jiang Pei'an called Hu Jing and said to the other side.

"Director, you are back so soon!"

After receiving Jiang Pei'an's call, Hu Jing said overjoyed.

Jiang Pei'an joked:

"I can't do it if I don't come back. I can't make money at home, so I can only come to the capital to see if I can take a chance."

Hu Jing smiled and said:
"I thought it was a big deal. If I don't have any money, I'll lend you."

Hu Jing is usually carefree, and she is also very righteous, and has a good relationship with her classmates.

Studying in art colleges in this era is not like later generations where only people from wealthy families can afford it.

There are many students from poor families in the Chinese Opera School. This girl probably lends money to others a lot.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll pay you back?"

Jiang Pei'an asked with a smile.

"Director, you are so talented, gold always shines, I believe you will be able to."

Jiang Pei'an seemed to be able to imagine the lovely look of this girl clenched her fists to cheer him up.

Although this girl is usually careless, she is actually more delicate than anyone else.

Since the production of "Ghost Story" was completed, she has been paying attention to Jiang Pei'an's development.

He said that it could not be screened in China and had to be released overseas, and Hu Jing kept this in mind.

After returning to school, consult the teachers and classmates about relevant matters.

Only then did she understand that it was as difficult as heaven to distribute a film abroad, especially for an independent filmmaker like Jiang Pei'an.

In addition, she chatted with Gong Li some time ago and learned that the overseas distribution is not going well.

She immediately became worried about Jiang Pei'an.

No wonder he returned to his hometown in the countryside, so he was disheartened!

"Director, I want to treat you to dinner. Where are you? Are you still living in the previous villa?"

"Uh... Let me treat you. You cooked so many meals for me before, and I haven't thanked you yet. I'll go to Zhongxi to find you."

Jiang Pei'an replied.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at school."

Hu Jing hung up the phone with a smile, and the friends around her asked curiously:
"Jingjing, who are you calling? You are smiling like a flower, boyfriend?"

"Go, go, go, you like to guess nonsense every day. I think you want to find a boyfriend!"

Hu Jing scratched each other's itch and said with a smile.

The two immediately frolicked together, which was very eye-catching.

This woman is Hu Jing's friend, Zeng Li, one of the six golden flowers in the Chinese opera!
