I'm not just a director

Chapter 54

Jiang Pei'an took up the position of deputy director, and nothing changed. He was still a commanding officer.

But he does have an office and his salary has increased...

It was boring to stay in the company. Just when Jiang Pei'an was about to go home, a secretary came to the door and said that Director Zhang wanted to see him.

Old schemer?
Jiang Pei'an followed the female secretary to Lao Mouzi's office.

"Come on, sit down."

Lao Mouzi was sitting in his office sorting out the materials, when he saw Jiang Pei'an coming in and beckoning.

He held the thermos cup and asked with a smile:

"Turning around in Cannes, how does it feel?"

This is the rhythm of family chatter.

Jiang Pei'an smiled slightly, relaxed a little, and said:

"Except that I'm not used to eating, everything else is fine."

"Hahaha, it's the same as when I went abroad to accept the award. The steak was so bloody that I couldn't eat it."

In private, Lao Mouzi is actually very talkative.

This man from Shaanxi Province is naturally very kind.

Compared with the flamboyant Feng Pants and the scholarly family director Chen Dao, he is more down-to-earth.

But Jiang Pei'an was puzzled, Lao Mouzi called him here today to talk about his feelings about winning the award?

Sure enough, Lao Mouzi changed the subject and asked:

"Did you meet Director Kaige at the meeting?"

Regardless of the rivalry between the two fans in the later generations, in fact, Lao Mouzi and Chen Dao are both graduates of Nortel at the same level.

But one is a directing class and the other is a photography class.

Because of the different majors and the great disparity in family background, the two did not meet much in their school days.

Director Chen and Lao Mouzi collaborated for the first time in 1984 when filming the movie "Yellow Earth".

At that time, Director Chen was the director of "Yellow Earth", and Lao Mouzi was the cameraman of this film.

The release of "Yellow Earth" marks the official arrival of the fifth generation of domestic directors.

And opened their 20 years of dominance in the domestic film industry.

After cooperating with "Yellow Earth", the two collaborated on the film "The Great Parade".

It is worth saying that these films were very successful in those years, and they were breakthroughs in terms of art and subject matter.

Here is a cue to some directors who made movies in the later generations so badly...

Lao Mouzi changed the topic here, Jiang Pei'an looked at his wrinkled face, and thought to himself:
Lao Mouzi is missing his old lover.

So Jiang Pei'an told the story of his meeting with Director Chen.

When he found that Lao Mouzi was listening very seriously, he added that it was Gong Li who built the bridge in the middle.

Lao Mouzi remained expressionless and listened carefully.

Jiang Pei'an had a clue in his mind, and then he talked about the filming of "Ghost Story" and the process of finding a distributor.

In the middle, a few words about Gong Li were mentioned vaguely, without deliberation or avoidance, revealing all about Gong Li's recent situation.

They're all smart people, so it's clear why Jiang Pei'an came to work in New Screen.

"It's great to win an award. Talented people will show their talents no matter how difficult the conditions are."

Lao Mouzi looked at Jiang Pei'an and said with emotion.

Speaking of which, the two are quite similar, both coming from the countryside.

The first films he directed won international awards.

"If I have time, I have to appreciate your work."

The old Mouzi said with a smile.

"Hehe, I brought the disc, Director Zhang, you have time to give me some guidance."

Jiang Pei'an took out the "Ghost Story" disc from his bag and said.

"Hehe, wherever you go, you brat is showing off."

Lao Mouzi took the video and joked...

"Hello Director Zhang."

While the two were talking, two people in executive jackets walked in from outside the door.

Zhang Yimou frowned:
"Hello, what's the matter?"

The two turned their eyes to Jiang Pei'an beside Zhang Yimou, and said:

"We're here to find Jiang Pei'an, Director Jiang."

Jiang Pei'an was stunned, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

This is... about to be interviewed?

……

Jiang Pei'an was taken away, and Zhang Yimou accompanied him to understand the situation.

"The newly promoted assistant director was interviewed by the relevant department!
I heard it was a film that went abroad to participate in the competition because it didn't pass the review, and it won an award! "

An employee who passed the office door and heard the conversation in the room spoke to the person next to him.

"What, you were interviewed for making a banned film?"

"Ah, someone from the company was arrested for making a royal movie?"

"The assistant director made an imperial movie, and director Zhang was the protagonist, but both of them were arrested in the end?"

In less than an hour, the entire New Picture Company knew about it, and there were signs of it spreading outward.

……

"Director Zhang, I'm really sorry today, so please accompany me through this journey."

At night, the two came out of the bureau and stood on the side of the road, puffing.

Zhang Yimou waved his hand and said:
"You are now a member of my production team anyway, I can't turn a blind eye to it, do you have any complaints about the punishment?"

Jiang Pei'an shook his head and said sincerely:
"It's reasonable but unexpected. I'm quite satisfied. Thanks to Director Zhang for his mediation today."

It was indeed a good result. For Jiang Pei'an, the banning of the film was an unexpected result.

It's hard to say if it is banned.

There are many people like him in China, including Lao Jia's, Wang Xiaoshuai and others.

The things he photographed were not enough to be "banned", and he was not as rigid as Lou Ye.

Lao Mouzi's "To Live" is even more exaggerated than his composition, but it was only banned from screening.

Of course, when "To Live" was filmed, Lao Mouzi was in a detached position. With his background and identity, he had to be dealt with lightly.

Zhang Yimou nodded appreciatively:

"I don't have such a big face, you are a good seed, young but know how to advance and retreat.

It is not a good thing for people of our background to not hit the south wall and not look back. "

Jiang Pei'an was stunned, surprised that Lao Mouzi would say such words.

This is from the bottom of my heart!
Seeing Jiang Pei'an was surprised, Zhang Yi smiled and said:

"I can't always be angry, times have changed."

Jiang Pei'an nodded, he understood why Lao Mouzi had such emotion.

Zhang Yimou's works have completely drawn the line from "Happy Times".

Before "Happy Time", he was a proper director of literary films.

Works such as "Red Sorghum" and "Raise the Red Lantern" can be said to be the ceiling of Chinese literary films.

After filming the last literary film "Happy Time", he plunged headlong into the wave of commercial films, and almost stopped making literary films!

In fact, from the box office failure after "Happy Time" was released, and Lao Mouzi's remake ending screening, it can be seen that he has compromised with the film market.

After "Happy Times", Lao Mouzi was silent for two years.

Then there was the "Hero" that opened the era of Chinese blockbusters!
"Don't blow the wind, go back, your phone keeps ringing, and you don't know how to call back the girl to make you feel at ease."

Zhang Yimou snuffed out the cigarette butt with a smile, turned around and went back.

Old Mouzi, you understand it well!
but……

"Hello, Miss Li."

It's Gong Li's call.

Lao Mouzi had gone far away. Although he didn't hear Jiang Pei'an's words, he felt a sharp pain in the back for no reason!
"It's okay, the film is banned from being released in China, there is no other punishment...

Well, Director Zhang accompanied me there. "

After hanging up Gong Li's call, Jiang Pei'an glanced at the phone.

Good guy, Hu Jing, Qin Hao and other people who are familiar with him have all called.

Probably Gong Li told Hu Jing after receiving the news.

What surprised Jiang Pei'an the most was that Gao Yuanyuan also called.

Jiang Pei'an called Hu Jing back, told him he was fine, and then called Gao Yuanyuan.

Seconds over there.

"You were interviewed, are you okay?"

Gao Yuanyuan asked worriedly.

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:
"It's okay, it's just forbidden to show."

"That's good."

Gao Yuanyuan was visibly relieved.

"How did you know I was interviewed?"

"I'm with Director Xiaoshuai and Director Lou. I listened to what they said."

"What did they say?"

Gao Yuanyuan showed a strange face and said:
"They say... my way is not alone."

Fuck, this group of young men pretends to be criminals, who the hell is with them!
