I'm not just a director

Chapter 49
"Ghost Story" is on fire!
The screenings lasted for several days, and the venues were full!
Every time Jiang Pei'an rushed to the theater of "Ghost Story" with two leading actors, many fans would come and ask for a group photo.

Hu Jing and Qin Hao enjoyed star treatment in Cannes.

Several movie magazines pushed it to the front, so that more horror movie lovers can see it.

It is said that because the schedule of "Ghost Story" is at night, every audience who watched the movie couldn't fall asleep for a long time after returning home.

"Fear of insomnia" This is the evaluation of "Ghost Story" by fans, and it is highly respected in the niche circle of horror movies.

Because of the power of tap water, "Ghost Story" has faint signs of going out of the circle.

Many movie fans who are not fans of horror movies also came to Jiang Pei'an's theater curiously.

"My God, the mysterious power of the East, watch this movie, I dare say it will definitely keep you awake at night!"

"What happens after you sleep? A video recorder will tell you the horrible things that happened after you fell asleep!"

"Has the director experienced similar things? It's really not like a movie, but the director's autobiography!"

At the same time, Jiang Pei'an has also become a favorite in the eyes of major filmmakers.

Whenever he shows up at a film festival, there will always be a few film dealers with business cards who want to win the distribution rights of "Ghost Story".

There are many internationally renowned distribution companies among them, but Jiang Pei'an is still the same as before, accepting the business cards of the filmmakers with a smile, but not mentioning anything about the distribution.

Hu Jing and Qin Hao were very curious. Didn't the director say that we are here to sell films?
Now that distribution companies are queuing up to find them, why doesn't the director talk to them?
Jiang Pei'an smiled and said nothing. Now that he is in contact with these distribution companies, there is probably no bone left that will be eaten.

Besides, Cannes isn't over yet, so don't worry about these things.

On the contrary, there is one interesting thing that he hasn't had time to confirm...

In the next few days, Jiang Pei'an no longer went to the film festival, but locked himself in the room to write and draw.

Sometimes he would take Hu Jing out for a few laps, and Qin Hao was very conscious that he didn't want to be a light bulb.

Until May 5, the Cannes Film Festival Awards Gala begins.

Before the Cannes Film Festival awards ceremony, the jury and other personnel involved in the selection have usually seen all the shortlisted films.

Voting and discussion took place before the awards ceremony, and the winners were finally decided.

But organizers of the Cannes film festival, as well as other film festivals, are usually very secretive.

To ensure the fairness and authenticity of the awards ceremony.

It will definitely not happen like in China, as long as the organizer invites a certain star, that big or small will definitely win an award.

Divide the pork, it's a traditional art!

Of course, the Cannes Film Festival also does this to maintain the impartiality of the jury and the reputation of the film festival.

But sometimes there are surprises or disputes in the awards.

For example, "Titanium", the winner of the Palme d'Or in later generations, has been controversial.

Because it had a very low score in the show program, only 1.6 points, with a full score of 4.0, it was far from being a popular film at that Cannes.

But the spirit of Cannes has always been to discover the most avant-garde films and film creators.

It is perfectly normal for the judges to have a different vision than the resident media.

In the past 20 years, there have only been 6 times when the winner of the Palme d'Or and the film with the highest score in the program have overlapped.

……

A long red carpet was laid out in front of the Lumiere Palace, and various well-known movie stars and directors walked past the red carpet.

Looking at the red carpet in front of him, Jiang Pei'an suddenly thought of Sister Blanket.

Today's Blanket Sister should still play the role of the little maid in Qing court dramas.

"What's wrong director?"

Noticing the smile on Jiang Pei'an's face, Hu Jing asked beside him.

"It's nothing, Jingjing, your dress looks good today."

The gown on her was made to order in France.

This gown is covered in baby-pink silk-jacquards and has just the right amount of cutouts.

In addition, the elegant and soft long tail mopping the floor and the three-dimensional fluffy skirt create a rich visual image, which perfectly blends with her temperament!

"Thank you Director."

Hu Jing said with a red face.

This girl spent all her money to buy suits for Jiang Pei'an, but she planned to wear casual clothes to attend Cannes.

After knowing this, Jiang Pei'an felt that Hu Jing must have such a way, regardless of whether she won the prize or not in the end.

So on the second day after arriving in Cannes, Jiang Pei'an took her and Qin Hao to the city to customize a dress.

For those who see it, Jiang Pei'an bought one and got one free and made a set for Qin Hao as well.

Only then did Hu Jing realize that she had misunderstood Jiang Pei'an...

The director is super rich, okay!
The custom-made dress she was wearing was more than enough to buy the ten suits she gave him.

"Director, do you really want to wear this suit on the red carpet?"

Hu Jing looked at Jiang Pei'an wearing the suit she gave her and asked.

Jiang Pei'an understood what she meant and said with a smile:
"The suit depends on who wears it and who gave it to you.

As for the degree of preciousness, this in itself is a meaningless matter. "

Hearing this, Hu Jing's brows and eyes were full of smiles.

When it was Jiang Pei'an's turn to walk the red carpet, something happened suddenly.

At this time, many stars and filmmakers gathered on the red carpet to promote their films.

When people were immersed in the excitement and noise, suddenly a man in black walked into the red carpet area.

He holds a sign that reads "Stop the Bombing".

He kept chanting slogans in his mouth, trying to attract people's attention.

The sudden scene shocked everyone, but Jiang Pei'an recognized it immediately.

It was a director from Serbia...

Jiang Pei'an saw the slogan and immediately understood his intention.

Not long ago, NATO bombed Serbia. As a Serbian, the director was very angry...

Jiang Pei'an stood where he was, looking at the director who was taken away by security.

This scene made the atmosphere of the entire Cannes Film Festival tense and heavy.

Hu Jing approached Jiang Pei'an with some fear. He grabbed her hand and comforted her softly:

"It's okay, I'm here."

Looking at the director who was taken away, Jiang Pei'an secretly thought:

Although the director's behavior aroused controversy among the people on the scene, it also aroused people's attention and thinking about this war.

It also makes people more deeply aware of the power and influence of movies...

After a brief interlude, the film festival resumed its excitement.

Jiang Pei'an also led Hu Jing and Qin Hao across the red carpet and into the Lumiere Palace.

Jiang Pei'an forgot about the awarding process of the gala, he only remembered that this time the Palme d'Or was awarded to Belgium.

The film "Rosetta the Beautiful", co-directed by the brothers Pierre and Luc Darnay, won.

……

"The 52nd Cannes International Film Festival Youth Jury Award for Best Overseas Film..."

The award presentation was still going on, when the host read out the awards he was shortlisted for.

Jiang Pei'an's body was tense, and his eyes were fixed on the host on the stage.

Hu Jing and Qin Hao also waited for the answer solemnly.

"..."Ghost Story"! Let us congratulate this excellent director from China!"
