I'm not just a director

"Bao Jiang Pei'an's new movie is currently casting."

"After a year of silence, director Jiang Pei'an has once again launched a new masterpiece. It is understood that the film has been approved within Spark."

"There's another good show to watch. Jiang Pei'an's new movie has been planned internally. We'll wait and see!"

There is no airtight wall in the world, and the news that Jiang Pei'an was going to make a new movie immediately caused a stir in the city.

It's just that no one understands the movie's theme, type, and lineup.

But this in itself is an explanation of popularity.

As a well-known director of commercial films in China, any disturbance of Jiang Pei'an will affect the hearts of movie fans.

No matter how the news leaked, it is already being discussed on the Internet.

Some major film and television forums are even voting to guess which genre Jiang Pei'an's work belongs to.

"I have been looking forward to it for a long time. Director Jiang is finally back."

"To be honest, this year without director Jiang's new movie, I feel that domestic movies are so boring."

"I agree with what you said above. I have watched the movies Director Jiang made over and over again. To be honest, they are really enjoyable."

Some people expect it, and some people naturally disagree.

"Are Jiang Pei'an's movies good? I don't think it's just a matter of marketing. Don't forget how his overseas movies got popular in the first place."

“The director uses his works to communicate with the audience and show his rich ideological connotations and life experiences.

He, Jiang Peian, has never gone to college, and he is still a young boy. How can he have any profound connotations?

So he can only make some eye-catching commercial movies, which are rubbish. "

"Please, what's going on in the entertainment industry? Director Chen's "The Promise" has also started filming. Why don't you guys report it so much?"

Educational background and age have always been the black spots for some online fans to attack Jiang Peian.

Of course, in the eyes of fans, all these black spots have turned into advantages, and Jiang Peian is even said to be a truly talented director.

After all, he has already reached the heights reached by some seniors in the industry before he was 25 years old.

Jiang Pei'an never deliberately explains anything that others have argued about.

After all, this kind of thing will only get darker and darker. He is indeed young and he has never gone to college.

As for why Heizi caught him, in the words of later generations, Jiang Peian had traffic.

As long as the news is related to celebrities, people who are naturally fond of gossip will naturally click on it to watch it, so that there will be traffic and attention...

Jiang Peian was sitting in the office at this time, drinking tea and browsing the comments about him from netizens.

Su Qing stood opposite him and reported on his work, but Su Qing obviously found that his boss was a little out of sorts.

He asked somewhat puzzledly:
"Boss, what are you looking at?"

Jiang Peian smiled and said:
"Mr. Su, why are these people on the Internet so malicious? I'm just a director making movies.

He didn't do anything harmful, so why did he just hold on to me and not let go. "

After hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Su Qing comforted her with some sympathy:

"Boss, you don't need to pay attention to the looks of those people, they are just talking nonsense."

Jiang Peian shook his head and said:
"Of course I don't care what they say, the box office of one of my movies is something that those keyboard warriors will never make in their lifetime.

I have more than one villa, more than one car, and more than 100 million yuan..."

Seeing Jiang Peian solemnly showing off his wealth in front of him, the sympathy in Su Qing's heart suddenly disappeared.

Then you have more than one girlfriend!
However, the words "keyboard warrior" are perfectly suitable to describe those black fans.

"To vent my anger on them is to get in trouble with myself, haha."

Jiang Peian said leisurely while drinking tea.

Before Su Qing could continue to report on her work, Jiang Peian's cell phone suddenly rang.

Looking at the name on the caller ID, Jiang Peian chuckled.

"I haven't called him yet, but he called me first."

Su Qing was a little curious, but Jiang Peian quickly gave her the answer and said to her:

"Jiang Wen."

Su Qing nodded. Really, the boss was talking about this person to her just now.

"Director Jiang, I was just about to call you, so you called me first."

Jiang Wen's deep voice came from the phone:

"Don't bother me with your arrogance, Director Jiang. If I don't call you, you may have forgotten who I am."

This is taking Jiang Peian's words just now as greetings.

Jiang Peian smiled and said:
"I'm serious. I respect you very much, Director Jiang. I think of you whenever I have a job."

"Are you kidding? Why do I feel that you are so dishonest?"

Jiang Wen said with a wary expression.

Mainly because it’s amazing.

He had just heard that Jiang Pei'an was going to film a movie, and he wanted to come over and see if there was any role suitable for him.

It's not that he, Jiang Wen, has no scenes to film, he still has scenes to play now.

The main reason is that this guy's statement about "making money while standing" when he was filming "Love Is Here to Come" was very enticing.

Lao Jiang has not been filming in recent years due to the "no directing" period, but he has never forgotten Jiang Peian's words.

Later, Jiang Pei'an's works, such as "Inception" and "Heartbeat", although they were commercial films, all relied on the direction of "making money while standing".

Although the outside world said that he was a commercial film director, Jiang Wen could see the changes in him.

Therefore, when it was announced that Jiang Pei'an's new movie was going to be filmed, he took the initiative to come over and ask about it.

I didn't expect that it wouldn't matter if I didn't ask. When I asked, I actually found a role for myself.

This time it was Lao Jiang's turn to be restless.

Before Jiang Peian could reply, he quickly said:
"What role? Can I read the script first? Are you in the capital? Give me your address and I'll come over now."

After hearing Lao Jiang's three consecutive questions on the phone, Jiang Peian smiled and reported an address.

"Okay, I understand. I'll come over in about an hour and give up."

"Beep beep."

There was a busy signal on the phone.

Lao Jiang has a resolute and resolute personality. Before Jiang Peian could say a few words to him, the other party immediately hung up the phone.

Jiang Peian rubbed his head and ordered Su Qing beside him:
"Reserve a private room for noon and make a pot of tea."

"it is good."

Su Qing stepped on her high heels and left.

Jiang Pei'an sat down with the script he had prepared and waited for Jiang Wen to come over.

At the same time, he was also thinking about how to deal with Jiang Wen on the crew in the future.

Jiang Wen's starring role in "Let the Bullets Fly" is basically a certainty.

Only he can act like Zhang Muzhi.

But the key is that Jiang Wen is not easy to get along with.

Just as Fatty Yu worried, once Jiang Wen is invited to the crew, it is not certain who will direct the show.

Jiang Wen is both an actor and a director, and he also has a position that will go down in history in film history.

As a director, Jiang Wen, although he does not have many representative works, each one can attract the audience and arouse heated discussions... Jiang Wen initially started his acting career after repeating his studies and being admitted to the Central Academy of Drama.

As an actor, Jiang Wen can be said to have had a smooth ride and has participated in many "hit movies".

In the early 80s, there was a popular saying in the film industry, "If you want to be famous, just make Xie Jin's movies."

Jiang Wen is a typical example of how God rewards food.

He just graduated and went to film Xie Jin's "Furong Town".

He also fell in love with Liu Xiaoqing, who was 8 years older than him and was one of the first sisters in the movie at the time, and they had a vigorous sibling relationship.

After starring in "Red Sorghum" directed by Lao Mouzi, Jiang Wen's popularity increased.

Later, he also appeared in works such as "Heroes on the Narrow Road", "Ben Ming Nian", and "The Great Eunuch Li Lianying".

As Jiang Wen's acting career is in full swing, he seems to have gradually forgotten his past dream of becoming a director.

It wasn't until 91 that Jiang Wen's friend Wang Shuo gave him a novel called "The Ferocious Animals".

This novel was the source of inspiration for Jiang Wen's first movie.

At that time, Jiang Wen was in a confused period of his acting career. With the belief of challenging himself, Jiang Wen decided to give up filming and become a director.

After that, Jiang Wen rejected all his acting announcements and immersed himself in directing studies.

He spent a lot of time reading novels to study and revise the script, during which he also received a lot of help from friends.

During this period, Jiang Wen concentrated on inspirational creation and was able to fully integrate his own ideas into his works.

Later, he adapted the first novel he studied seriously into a movie, titled "Sunny Days".

Then he got out of hand and created films such as "The Devil Is Coming", "Let the Bullets Fly" and "The Sun Also Rises".

Although the number of creations is small, Jiang Wen, who is a "blockbuster maker", has not disappointed the audience in every film.

The box office is getting higher every step of the way.

Although some viewers think Jiang Wen is "too low-yield", Jiang Wen still sticks to his creative style and habits.

This is Jiang Wen's personal characteristic as a director. He does not mass-produce shoddy and bad films, but spends more time and energy to produce good works.

Someone once commented on Jiang Wen's film review of "One Step Away":
"Jiang Wen does not lack talent, but what he lacks is the restraint of talent."

Therefore, whether from the perspective of later generations or the present, Jiang Wen is an extremely talented and independent person.

How difficult it is to get such a person to listen to you.

But Jiang Peian is not worried because Jiang Wen is still a reasonable person.

That's right, although there are rumors that Jiang Wen is a drama tyrant on the crew and steals the director's job, this guy is definitely not an unreasonable person.

If you can persuade him, or if your reasons are recognized by him, or if you can properly handle his opinions, then it will definitely not be a problem.

Don't think that this kind of person is too busy, the main thing is that you are willing to use this kind of person.

Jiang Pei'an was thinking about things, and soon there was a knock on the office door.

Standing outside the door was the tall and powerful Jiang Wen.

"Director Jiang, please come inside."

Jiang Peian stood up and greeted.

"Hey, brother, I hurriedly hurriedly and slowly finally got here."

He was also very tired. After sitting down, he quickly poured himself two large glasses of water.

"Haha, thank you for your hard work, Director Jiang."

Jiang Peian said upon seeing this.

Jiang Wen waved his hand, pointed at the documents on the table, and said:

"This is the script, right? Can I read it?"

Jiang Peian nodded.

Jiang Wen was not polite when he saw this, picked up the script and started to read it.

Jiang Wen read very quickly, and he read a script from beginning to end in almost half an hour.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Jiang Wen looked at the script and shook his head and nodded.

There was an unfinished expression on his face, and a hint of madness appeared in his eyes, but this madness was soon replaced by helplessness.

"This script, how should I put it, is enjoyable but also feels frustrating."

Hearing Jiang Wen's words, Jiang Peian smiled. Jiang Wen's words were true.

His version of "Let the Bullets Fly" was based on later film versions and was written under Han Shanping's guidance.

Some intense parts in the middle have been modified to be more in line with the current era.

When Jiang Wen was filming "Let the Bullets Fly" in his previous life, the script was reviewed dozens of times.

It's just because some of the descriptions in it are too explicit, so it's definitely not allowed to take this kind of thing up.

That's why Jiang Wen sighed like this after looking at this "reduced" version of the script.

Jiang Peian smiled and said:
"At least this way you can pass the trial."

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Jiang Wen was furious. He admitted that what Jiang Pei'an said made sense. After all, he himself was still in the "ban" period.

"I said, Director Jiang, do you have the Lions Gate method abroad? How about we..."

Jiang Wen blinked at him and suggested mischievously.

"No, please don't drag me into this. Even if this movie is not made, I will not take this path."

Jiang Peian waved his hand and refused.

Just kidding, once he does something like this, there really is no turning back.

"Tch, boring."

Jiang Wen waved his hands and said disappointedly.

Jiang Peian ignored him, offered him a cigarette, and continued:

"Director Jiang, you have read this script, please give me an explanation."

Jiang Wen took the cigarette and lit it, saying:
"The script is the best. If you are willing to change it according to my requirements, you will definitely win a big award abroad."

Jiang Peian shook his head and said:
"I never do anything that is unrealistic. I plan to invite you to play the role of Zhang Muzhi in this movie. How about it?"

"No problem, I can do it."

Jiang Wen didn't give in, even though he complained about the script, he didn't let it go.

But this script is definitely top-notch, much better than the dramas he has taken on in recent years.

The role of Zhang Muzhi also suits him very much.

"Then it's settled. Now that you're here, let's just choose a date, sign the contract directly, and join the group in about a month. How about that?"

Hearing this, Jiang Wen heard the sound of the jar and said:
“You boy worked faster than me, so I drank two glasses of water from you and got myself involved.

Come on, just do as you say. "

Jiang Wen put out his cigarette and asked cheerfully:

"Where's the contract?"

"I've asked the legal department to draft the contract. We're not in a hurry. I've reserved a private room and we can chat while we eat."

Jiang Peian said with a smile. (End of chapter)
