I'm not just a director

Ever since Jiang Peian decided to invest in Jiang Wen's new movie, Lao Jiang was very motivated on the set.

Not only do I no longer talk back to the director, I even give a lot less advice on filming.

Either way, the rich man is the uncle. Even if he is stronger than Lao Jiang, he has to stay away from the enemy.

In fact, Lao Jiang had other ideas.

Jiang Pei'an looked cheerful when he paid. The more Lao Jiang thought about it afterwards, the more he felt that he had been careless.

"Why do you want 500 million? Looking at Jiang Peian's attitude, even if he wants 1000 million, he will probably agree."

That's right, Lao Jiang was patting his chest and saying 500 million is enough one second, but he regretted it the next second.

No one who makes a movie would complain that the money invested is too much.

Therefore, Lao Jiang wants to use his good performance to seek Jiang Peian's help when he is short of money for future filming.

Unfortunately, Lao Jiang was doomed to think too much, and Jiang Peian only gave him 500 million.

Want more? I'm afraid.

"Okay, click, rest."

On the set of Huairou, Jiang Peian shouted "Ka".

All the staff immediately let out an ooh, and everyone got into the shade of the tree.

Now is the time when the weather is hot, even the cicadas have ceased their activities, and occasionally two weak calls are heard.

The weather in Beijing is really hot, and everyone is shooting outdoors. Almost everyone is suffering from heatstroke.

"Producer, where is the producer? Someone here has a heat stroke."

There was a panic in the crew, and someone immediately gave Huoxiang Zhengqi water.

"Director, drink some water."

Hu Jing came over with a bottle of water and handed it to Jiang Peian.

Jiang Peian took the water, opened it, and asked:
"How is the colleague who suffered a heat stroke?"

"I drank some Huoxiang Zhengqi water and moved under the fan again. I feel much better now."

Hu Jing replied.

He raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was cloudless and the sun was scorching. Jiang Peian took another sip of water and said:

"We can't continue shooting like this. We have to change the time to avoid shooting at noon and start shooting in the morning and afternoon in the future."

It will only get hotter and hotter in the future, and the weather will not cool down at all.

Jiang Peian told the production director his idea, and the production director was confused:

"Then this will push back at least half a month than the originally scheduled completion time. The cost of this half month..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Peian interrupted directly:

“There will definitely be losses, but if the filming continues, I guess everyone’s physical strength and condition will not be able to keep up.

When the crew shuts down, the losses will only be greater. "

"Okay, I understand. I'll report it to Mr. Yu."

Jiang Peian nodded and said:
"I will also inform Mr. Yu."

"Ok."

In the next few days, although the weather was still hot, the situation was much better than before.

The crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" are also continuing to rush towards the completion point in an orderly manner.

But suddenly, a news broke on Weibo.

"A large number of staff members on the crew of "The Promise" suffered from heat stroke. The staff admitted frankly that they did not have enough rest for five hours a day."

"The filming of "The Promise" is suspected to have been suspended, a large number of staff suffered from heat stroke, and the stars are using air conditioners every day?"

……

The news that broke out quickly became a hot search topic.

Not only that, the whistleblower’s blog post also comes with pictures.

But as luck would have it, the crew of "The Promise" was criticized by relevant departments after news broke that the filming was suspected to have been suspended.

Director Chen seems to have an idea in his mind, which is to make a Chinese version of "The Lord of the Rings".

Therefore, in the movie "The Promise", you can see many grand scenes and gorgeous scenery in the Chinese style.

These scenes were all shot outdoors by Director Chen.

Such a generous shooting method has had a great impact on the ecological environment.

When photographing azaleas, the damage to Tianchi reached 10 kilometers into the sea of ​​flowers.

After the crew left, household garbage was strewn everywhere, and even the reinforced concrete structures were not dismantled.

Not only did the crew destroy this paradise on earth, but the Old Summer Palace was not spared either.

In order to show the colors needed in the movie, I colored the leaf pictures inside and left them alone after filming.

The consequence was that the leaves in the Old Summer Palace did not turn green again after two years.

Even the environment in Inner Mongolia suffered a cruel attack. Later, the ministry came out to severely criticize Director Chen for damaging the environment during the filming of "The Promise".

Therefore, in addition to the fact that many staff members of the "The Promise" crew suffered from heatstroke, it was also revealed on the Internet that they were named by relevant departments due to ecological issues.

All parties had different reactions to this matter. The producer of "Let the Bullets Fly" still looked scared after finding Jiang Peian.

"Director, it's a good thing that you suggested avoiding shooting at noon at that time, otherwise we would be the ones trending."

Yes, according to the shooting schedule of "Let the Bullets Fly", it is really possible that a large number of staff members will suffer from heatstroke.

Nowadays, "The Promise" has been criticized by netizens even before it was released. This is something that Director Chen never dreamed of.

"Director, what do you think of Director Chen's "The Promise"?"

Jiang Wen and Jiang Pei'an have communicated about the script of "The Promise" before, and everyone has read it, and their opinions are mixed.

Jiang Peian smiled after hearing Jiang Wen's words.

The content of "The Promise" about life and freedom of love is actually presented in a messy manner by Director Chen.

The so-called magical masterpieces are all biased towards special effects techniques.

The best feeling is that the pictures are beautiful, but these beautiful pictures are all based on destroying the ecology. No wonder many people say they can't understand it.

What he did during the filming was contrary to society, and it is understandable that it will be called a bad movie in later generations.

"Let's stop talking about Director Chen's affairs and just do our own thing with peace of mind."

Jiang Peian shook his head, smiled and patted Jiang Wen on the shoulder.

The impact of the "Promise" incident is still very bad.

First, it started by excessively squeezing staff time, causing a large number of staff to suffer from heat stroke.

Then there was the damage to the local ecology during the filming of the movie, and the crew of "The Promise" was forced to shut down for about three days.

Director Chen stood up and apologized to the "staff who suffered heat stroke" and also apologized for the ecological damage. This time, the national audience was relieved.

This incident also opened the door for film crews across the country.

When filming a movie, you must be careful not to damage the local ecology, and you must take good care of the crew in extreme weather.

It has to be said that although he has no good impression of Director Chen, Jiang Pei'an has to admit that he used his mistakes to awaken the "conscience" of the crew across the country.

August 10th, late.

"Okay, click!"

When Jiang Pei'an shouted the word "Ka" with relief, everyone at the scene began to cheer.

That's right, it's over.

In less than three months of filming, "Let the Bullets Fly" is all finished!
Jiang Wen excitedly gave Jiang Peian a bear hug.

"Brother, I rarely convince people, but you are one of them."

Jiang Wen gave Jiang Peian a thumbs up.

As for why you are convinced?
I made so many suggestions, but this guy was actually indifferent. If he had been on the set of "Looking for a Gun", that softie Lu Chuan would have surrendered long ago.

Moreover, Jiang Pei'an's persistence was justified, and he could convince himself.

If it were Lu Chuan, he would just arrogantly think that he was the director of the crew and the boss of the crew.

Then he does a compliance test with his so-called directorial powers.

Of course Jiang Wen wouldn't spoil him!
After the crew finished work, a closing banquet was held in the capital the next night.

At the same time, many media were invited to attend. Jiang Pei'an will definitely harvest this wave of traffic.

Sure enough, at the same time as the closing banquet was being held, Weibo had already exploded.

"Damn it, it's finished, so fast!"

"When will it be released? When will "Let the Bullets Fly" be released? I can't wait!"

"Damn it, which hotel is this? I really want to meet Director Jiang!"

On Weibo, the official Weibo of "Let the Bullets Fly" updated the ongoing wrap-up party.

I saw Jiang Peian holding a wine glass and drinking with everyone, and the atmosphere was lively.

This is also the first in the country to use graphic and text live broadcast on Weibo to allow netizens to participate in the film’s finalization banquet.

Therefore, many netizens were very surprised and left messages on Weibo to participate.

"Hey, Director Jiang, with his pretty features, can drink better than Jiang Wen and Ge You. Director Jiang is so pitiful."

"Upstairs, I'm afraid you don't know where Director Jiang's hometown is."

"Where? It's not from Hui Province."

"Of course it's from Hui Province, and it's also from the northern Anhui area. The sparrows there can drink two taels. You are still worried about Director Jiang's drinking capacity!"

"Drink? I don't accept it from the three provinces of the East!"

"The capital applies to fight!"

"Inner Mongolia is not convinced!"

Soon, what was originally a discussion about the final banquet turned into a drinking competition in various places.

But no matter what was being discussed, a large number of Weibo users flocked to the official Weibo account of "Let the Bullets Fly", and soon users felt that the webpage became stuck.

What was originally a difficult-to-load dial-up connection became even slower.

Until...it went down.

Deep City, Inside Penguin.

It was already ten o'clock at night, and most companies had already finished get off work. Only Penguin's office building was still brightly lit.

"It's down. There's a problem with the server. Fix it quickly!"

"I'm going to die, today is the closing party of the Big Boss movie, and the Weibo server actually crashed at this time!"

"Brother, can't we buy a few more servers? This is the third time this month that I have come home and come back to the company to work overtime."

On Weibo, once there are rumors about a celebrity falling in love, breaking up, or losing their house.

The most uncomfortable ones are their fans, followed by Weibo programmers.

Someone once complained about Weibo programmers:
“This is how I understand it, Weibo’s server is manually supported by a group of programmers.

Once it is revealed that a celebrity is getting married, some programmers will instantly collapse due to the loss of their idol and will be unable to continue working.

As a result, the system was paralyzed, and rescuing the server was actually a process of rescuing a programmer who was heartbroken.

Well, it must be like this..."

Although no celebrities got married this time, it was still the programmer who was heartbroken.

Because today is not only the day for them to work overtime, but also the closing party for their Big Boss movie.

Weibo is actually down at this time. Isn’t this a slap in the face to the big boss?

……

Jiang Peian had no idea about the Weibo server downtime, and even if he knew about it, he would just laugh it off.

This kind of thing is not what anyone wants to see. It can only be said to be a "natural disaster".

Weibo's repair speed was quite fast, and I could log in again at three o'clock in the morning that day.

That's right, because the traffic volume suddenly decreased and the server pressure was reduced, it naturally recovered.

The next day, because the Weibo server was down, a small hot search was posted on Weibo.

Of course, Jiang Pei'an only found out about this the next day, when he was sitting in the office rubbing his head.

I had a lot of fun last night, and I originally planned to take a break after filming "Let the Bullets Fly."

But after hearing Su Qing's report, Jiang Peian rushed to the company early.

Ninghao is back...

"Mr. Jiang, I can come over later."

Seeing Jiang Peian's depressed look, Ning Hao said helplessly.

As soon as he returned to the capital yesterday, Su Qing informed him that his boss was going to see him this morning.

At that time, Ninghao was a little surprised. The boss was not attending the closing banquet, so why was he so anxious to see him.

Su Qing didn't reveal much information, and Ning Hao certainly didn't get to the bottom of it.

Jiang Peian pointed to the cup, and Ninghao picked up the kettle and started making tea.

After drinking a cup of strong tea, Jiang Pei'an felt his stomach relaxed a lot.

"How are you doing over there?"

Jiang Peian asked slowly, rubbing his stomach.

"We're looking for scenic spots to shoot, but didn't you tell me to stop moving now and optimize the script of "Diamond" into a local plot?"

Speaking of this Ninghao, I feel a little puzzled.

My own "Diamond" was actually a story shot abroad. I don't know why Jiang Pei'an wanted to localize it.

The localization location was chosen to be a mountain city, and it will be filmed in both dialect and Mandarin versions.

Yes, the original time and space "Crazy Stone" is the Shancheng dialect version.

Jiang Peian was inspired by "Let the Bullets Fly" and directly asked Ninghao to set the script into two versions: Mandarin and dialect.

Let the audience choose which one they like to watch at that time.

"Well, how is the script optimization going?"

Jiang Peian asked.

Ninghao took out the script from his wallet and handed it to Jiang Peian and said:
"It's all here, please take a look."

After taking the script, Jiang Peian slowly turned the pages.

This version of "Crazy Stone" written by Ning Hao is much better than the original version in terms of plot, lines, and overall arrangement.

And all this is due to Ninghao's hard work abroad in recent years.

When "Crazy Stone" was filmed, Ning Haocai directed two works, one of which was his graduation work.

At this time, Ning Hao was already a very well-known master of low-cost suspense abroad.

There have been many changes in the perspectives and methods of looking at problems.

but……

Jiang Pei'an frowned. Ning Hao's "mature" version of "Crazy Stone" made Jiang Pei'an feel like something was missing.

So he began to write quickly again and continued to revise on the basis of "Diamond".

This change took three hours.

During this period, except for going to the toilet, Jiang Peian spent all the time sitting at his desk correcting scripts.

And Ninghao has always been by his side... (End of chapter)
