I'm not just a director

Jiang Peian's words completely opened up Han Yan's thinking.

The several works Han Yan has participated in before are basically literary films.

One characteristic of literary films is that the audience may not understand them, but the director must understand them.

This "understanding" includes a lot. For example, in addition to the plot of hanging in the sky, you must have a rigorous story line.

If the audience can't tell it, then you, the director, must be able to tell it.

Literary movies seem to worry about the audience being able to understand them.

It feels like the director is no longer cool if the audience understands.

Watching literary movies is more like students encountering reading questions in a test.

So Han Yan seems to want to clarify all the plots and settings of the movie from Jiang Peian.

If you can't figure it out, you can only come over and ask Jiang Pei'an for help.

Although Jiang Pei'an said on the surface that he would not participate in the specific matters of film shooting.

But no one can ignore this great god.

What's more, director Han Yan would run up to Jiang Peian for advice from time to time.

On the contrary, it gave Ninghao, the producer, a lot of leisure.

……

"Crazy Stone" is scheduled to launch on the 20th of this month.

The weather is hot at this time, and the mountain city is also a famous furnace city. Shooting in this kind of weather, the actors are really tortured to death.

From preparation to shooting, it only takes about a month.

The main thing is that there is really nothing to prepare for the movie "Stone", as long as the actors are good.

Although Jiang Peian deliberately kept a low profile, a lot of media came to the launch day.

"Hello Director Jiang, is this your second film this year after "Let the Bullets Fly"?"

"Why did Director Jiang choose to shoot in a mountain city?"

"When will Director Jiang's "Let the Bullets Fly" be released?"

The media at the scene surrounded Jiang Peian, and Jiang Peian had to answer one by one.

"Crazy Stone" also opened its own official Weibo account, and Spark's operations posted photos of the launch ceremony on it that day.

"Crazy Stone? What's the name? It feels so rubbish."

"Upstairs, didn't you see who the person in the photo is? Jiang Pei'an! If he's in the movie, it won't be bad!"

"Damn it, it's really Director Jiang. Has he finished filming "Let the Bullets Fly"? Why is he making another movie? Can he keep up with the energy?"

“Please, please read the copywriting of Guan Weifa carefully, this is a project of Xinghuo Company.

Is there a problem with Director Jiang attending the launch ceremony as the boss of Spark?
Besides, haven’t you seen it? The column for Chief Producer has the words Jiang Pei'an written on it! "

News about Jiang Peian's new movie are everywhere on the Internet.

However, some sharp-eyed people saw that Jiang Pei'an was in the chief producer category.

"Let the Bullets Fly" has been completed and entered post-production. It seems that there is nothing unreasonable for Jiang Pei'an to serve as the chief producer of a film produced by his own company.

This kind of meaningless dispute often appears under Jiang Peian's Weibo or in the comment area of ​​related news.

Heizi's fighting ability is definitely impressive!

The filming of "Crazy Stone" officially started, and Jiang Peian only stayed on the set for three days before rushing back to the capital.

With the combination of Han Yan + Ning Hao, he has nothing to worry about.

After entering October, especially after the National Day holiday, the weather slowly turns cooler.

Although the weather has turned cooler, the indoor entertainment has become lively.

Especially in the film and television industry, that man is here with his masterpiece!

Director Chen's "The Promise" began to receive frequent publicity.

Director Chen and his wife frequently appear on programs to promote their movies.

Not only "The Promise", Lao Mouzi also started the road of publicity with his "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles".

There are also films such as "Slaying the Wolf" in Hong Kong Province. Yes, it was the first film Wu Jing shot after arriving in Hong Kong Province to develop.

And "If Love" filmed by Chen Kexin, the god of pure love, along with Zhou Gongzi, Jin Chengwu and the singer, have also entered the promotion period.

Of course, Jiang Peian will not miss this good opportunity. The official Weibo of "Let the Bullets Fly" has also begun to promote the movie.

"Let the bullets fly for a while. We'll see you there on December 12.20th."

The official Weibo of "Let the Bullets Fly" posted this line of promotional text.

In an instant, the comments on the official Weibo account skyrocketed.

"Ahhh, it's true, the movie I've been waiting for is finally here!"

"I have been looking forward to it for a while, let the bullets fly for a while, and add chicken drumsticks to the copywriting teacher!"

"Yeah yeah yeah, I want to go see it!"

……

In the second half of the year, especially after the National Day, time will pass very quickly.

Almost in the blink of an eye, November has arrived.

Since Jiang Peian returned to the capital, apart from going to Xinghuo to handle the company's daily work, he has spent most of his time with the post-production team.

The propaganda of each company is also risking their lives and constantly spreading information to the outside world.

The first one to bear the brunt is "Slaying the Wolf", which will be released this month in November.

Frankly speaking, since "Infernal Affairs" came out three years ago, directors and actors in Hong Kong have been thinking about replicating the glory of "Infernal Affairs 1".

But whether it is a sequel or a copycat, it seems that it is not even the slightest bit different from the original film.

The quality of films in Hong Kong as a whole is seriously declining.

Not only has the quality of Hong Kong films declined, but a large portion of the audience has also begun to abandon the most popular Hong Kong action films.

Hong Kong action movies have experienced an extremely glorious era.

Starting from Li Xiaolong, Cheng Long and Jet Li later developed to their peak.

In later generations, after Jet Li faded out of the entertainment industry, action movies in Hong Kong seemed to have declined.

Later, the only remaining facade of action movies in Hong Kong was Zhen Zidan.

In the movie "Slaying the Wolf", director Ye Weixin found Yen Zidan and Hong Jinbao to star, and then made a new type of action movie.

The action movie "Slaying the Wolf" is different from almost all previous action movies.

It tries its best to avoid martial arts routines, but uses real flesh to flesh, real flesh and blood.

As the action director of this film, Zhen Zidan, in order to present the best action effects, he added elements of Muay Thai and free fighting to almost all action designs.

For example, Zhen Zidan wanted to avoid the kind of group of people fighting around a protagonist in traditional action movies.

In the end, it was a blunt loophole where the protagonist was beaten in succession.

When designing the fighting scenes for "Slaying the Wolf", we tried our best to avoid such a big scene of queuing up and being violently beaten by the protagonist.

Instead, we use a narrow sense of space and a one-to-one approach to handle this kind of detail.

Overall, the movie "Slaying the Wolf" is the pinnacle of Zhen Zidan since his debut, whether it is a literary drama or a fighting drama. It can even be said that this movie put Zhen Zidan on the throne of the flag-bearer in action films in Hong Kong!

Jiang Pei'an must watch this movie, after all, it is Wu Jing's debut in Hong Kong.

In fact, Wu Jing's status has been on the rise since the release of "Painted Skin".

Even when he arrived in Hong Kong, he still had no worries about filming.

But perhaps because of martial arts training, Wu Jing likes the movie "Slaying the Wolf" very much.

He almost paid a low price to join the crew of "Slaying the Wolf".

The release of "Slaying the Wolf" was the first shot, and it followed closely in December.

The atmosphere of New Year's Day is getting stronger and stronger. When walking in the city, you can already see the New Year atmosphere of the municipal government.

The weather in Beijing is also plummeting.

It was also on such a day that something neither big nor small disturbed the entertainment industry.

“I don’t want someone to be at my child’s birthday when our film is about to come out.

What would you do if your child died? "

"According to what people in the capital say, it's 'nuisance', but that's not a problem. That's not a problem!"

These words were spoken by Director Chen during an interview, and at this time, it was still three days before the release of his movie "The Promise".

Director Chen spent 3 million, and it is said that it took up to 3 years of preparation before the movie "The Promise" was released on the screen.

He was originally full of confidence in the film he made, but unexpectedly, his self-esteem was hurt by a small host at the film launch conference.

"Would it hurt your dignity if the result was not as good as you expected?"

the host asked.

This question immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction from Director Chen:

"I'm telling you I'm not happy with what you said! Why did you come and ask me three days before the film was to be released?

Would it hurt your pride if your film didn't live up to your expectations? The question itself is not friendly! "

No one expected that Director Chen would become furious on the spot just because of a question.

After the host finished the interview and left the venue, he yelled at the other person to come out and that he wanted to question him!
Not satisfied with this, he then mocked the host who asked the question in front of all the reporters.

The words about the child dying at one month old were spoken by Director Chen at this time.

The female host who asked this question was none other than Liu Yan, a woman famous for her sex appeal.

Once the interview leaked, the two quickly made news and headlines.

For Liu Yan, who was still a newcomer at this time, this incident had frightened her for a long time.

Fortunately, she met a good leader and received his support:
"When I entered our production team, the audience applauded me. I was surprised. I thought you wouldn't humiliate me, right?

I did something wrong, but the producer said Liu Yan, don't be afraid first, we thank you for bringing us such good news. "

Although she kept her job, many years later she apologized to Director Chen on a program for her inappropriate remarks in her early years.

Of course, these are all things for later. Jiang Peian also saw the news that Director Chen reprimanded Liu Yan in the evening.

He shook his head. Director Chen just liked being on the top and on the line.

But what’s interesting is that Liu Yan’s words really came true.

After "The Promise" was released, the box office was indeed dismal, and the audience's evaluation was very unsatisfactory.

Jiang Pei'an remembered another thing, which was also about Director Chen, but this was something that had not happened in future generations.

After many years, Director Chen once again brought up this old score on the show.

He was mocking Liu Yan both inside and outside his words, which also caused the outside world to question his character.

What makes the outside world "truly" accuse him of having "bad character" is yet to come.

That year, Director Chen appeared on "Actors Please Take Your Place", but unexpectedly learned that Li Chengru had not watched "The Promise" due to the influence of audience comments.

So he immediately felt dissatisfied and became angry with others:
"He is more conservative"

"People who come from a closed world are relatively conservative and don't care much about the progress of that world."

"He is an old artist who lives and is immersed in the past era and feels the sunset of the past era."

Therefore, Director Chen is really a bit short-sighted.

But no matter what, the release of "The Promise" is a foregone conclusion.

Many people also went to the cinema because of the name of Director Chen.

Not Jiang Pei'an, he just wanted to experience watching the premiere of "The Promise".

In his last life, he didn't have the chance to attend the premiere of "The Promise", so he couldn't miss it this time.

Director Chen is indeed a master in the industry. "The Promise" held a world premiere press conference in Beijing.

In the evening, a grand premiere ceremony costing more than 2000 million yuan was held in the auditorium.

The solemn auditorium was decorated into a gorgeous "Endless Land".

A white "artificial moon" rises in the night sky.

It is said that the creativity of the premiere ceremony of "The Promise" was completed by Director Chen.

Tonight’s theme is “Open the Door to Wuji and Ignite the Light of Wuji”.

Inside and outside the Red Gate, hundreds of extras were dressed up as the military in the film.

Huge posters featuring the six leading actors were erected all around, making them majestic.

On both sides of the red carpet, there were die-hard fans of several leading actors.

Looking at the magnificent hall, Jiang Peian couldn't help but sigh: What a generous move.

Just as he was sighing, bursts of screams suddenly came from his ears.

Looking back, it turned out that several leading actors were walking on the red carpet.

Fans waved flowers and posters in their hands and cheered for their idols.

Jiang Pei'an immediately spotted Cecilia Cheung, who stood out among the crowd.

Tonight, the temperature in Beijing was as low as minus ten degrees Celsius, with one or two biting winds blowing from time to time.

But Cecilia actually showed up in a low-cut long dress regardless of the cold weather. Not to mention, her pitiful appearance really made people pity her.

After the red carpet ceremony, all the creators of "The Promise" pressed the button together to light up the white "Promise Light".

After this project is the movie viewing session that movie fans have been waiting for.

During the entire movie watching process, Jiang Peian watched extremely carefully and seriously.

After reading it, Jiang Peian felt a little enlightened.

If you spend more than a hundred minutes watching "The Promise," you will have wasted more than a hundred minutes.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Peian had the same feeling every time he watched "The Promise" in his past life.

Not only Jiang Peian, but probably 90% of the audience today did not understand what Director Chen wanted to express.

During the screening of the movie, sometimes because of Ting Fung's coy dubbing, sometimes because of Zhang Dongjian's silly expression, and sometimes because of his slightly artificial lines, the theater actually burst into laughter several times in a row.

Come on, how can you still laugh at such a profound theme that expresses destiny?
Didn’t you see that Director Chen’s face turned dark? (End of chapter)
