I'm not just a director

Chapter 65 I Really Want to Swear
After walking around the Lions Gate, just as Jiang Pei'an was about to leave, Old Brown suddenly hesitated to speak.

"Jiang, I think we should make some preparations for our upcoming movie."

"Like what?"

Jiang Pei'an asked.

"actor."

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:
"According to your system, shouldn't you bring your producer along to cast the cast?"

In the Western film and television industry, the producer has a lot of power and is above the director.

Old Brown smiled and said:

"Jiang, I'm very pleased to tell you that it was unanimously passed at the high-level meeting just now.

I'm going to be the producer on Saw, and then it's just the two of us working together. "

Jiang Pei'an just stayed where he was, good guy, Old Brown, this is a heifer flying on the plane, the cow has gone to heaven.

But if you think about it carefully, Old Brown is the oldest Lionsgate employee under a management team.

What's more, before meeting Jiang Pei'an, he had already acted as the producer of many films produced by Lionsgate.

"Hahaha, working with you, I don't think it will be too boring."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile, he was familiar with Old Brown, and he was easy to get along with.

"So, Mr. Director, can I invite you to have lunch with me?"

"Mr. Producer, you are too polite. I am new here, so I should invite you."

The two looked at each other and laughed, as if they had forgotten their friendship.

In the end, it was Jiang Pei'an who made the decision, and said with a smile that he would take Old Brown to experience the authentic Chinese food.

……

It's still the authentic Huizhou beef pan noodles at the International Village in Chinatown.

As soon as he entered the store, Jiang Pei'an heard a burst of familiar music.

"Hey, you won't let me touch it, but I want to touch it. The first touch, I touched my sister's little hand~"

Folk tunes are playing on TVs hanging on the walls of the shop.

Li Shouguo looked cheap, playing with Wang Hong's little hand.

Wang Hong wanted to refuse but also to welcome, with a shy look on her face.

Jiang Pei'an suddenly felt a sense of space-time confusion.

In the bustling Chinatown in a foreign country, Li Shouguo's slightly vulgar libretto resounded over Vancouver...

He just wants to make an overseas call to Li Shouguo:
Uncle Li, you are so popular that even foreign TVs show you touching Wang Hong's little hand!
Zhao Fusheng: ...

Regarding Shibamo, this is a very classic ditty.

The situation in each place is different, the libretto is different, and the parts and sequence of the eighteen touches are also different...

"Hey, brother, I miss the taste of our hometown again. Is this foreigner your friend?"

The fat boss of the pan noodle shop handed Jiang Pei'an a piece of Huang Wan with a smile and said.

"Isn't it? Take him to experience the charm of Chinese cuisine."

"Then you came to the right place. The foreigners who come to the store say good after eating my noodles! Sit first, and follow the old rules?"

Jiang Pei'an nodded, and he had to know how to do business, so he remembered his preferences once he came here.

"Two bowls."

Jiang Pei'an stretched out his finger and said.

"okay."

Not long after, the boss brought two bowls of beef pan noodles.

There are large and many pieces of beef on top, covered with marinated eggs and bean curd, and poured with a spoonful of spicy soup, it is very bright!

Jiang Pei'an greeted Old Brown to eat first.

He talked with the busy boss:

"Boss, where did you buy the disc?"

"You mean this folk ditty? I bought it when I went back to China to visit relatives. I heard that it is very popular in my hometown.

Sometimes you can’t even buy it, it sounds really good, it’s more exciting than watching the twelve beauties! "

Jiang Pei'an smiled slightly. The folk tunes are pornographic and not lewd, but also have the guidance of persuading people to do good.

At first glance, it is vulgar, but when I taste it carefully, I just talk about some short stories about rural parents, which really feels substituting.

As for the twelve beauties mentioned by the boss, that's another market...

"Jiang, I have to say, I admire you Chinese people's research on eating. It's delicious food, but it's a bit spicy..."

Old Brown ate the noodles, his forehead was already sweating.

"Hahaha, Mr. Brown, I think you should really go to Huaxia for a walk. There are countless delicacies there."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile, seeing Old Brown eating noodles with a fork in his hand, he always felt like eating instant noodles.

Old Brown didn't have much appetite. After eating half a bowl, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a towel and said:

"Jiang, we will meet with four actors in the afternoon, and we will decide some of the protagonists first, and then I will watch over here.

Let's see if there are any suitable actors. We will have another meeting to discuss one month before the filming starts. What do you think? "

"I don't have any problems."

Jiang Pei'an spread his hands and said with a smile.

To be honest, the producer Brown Sr. gave him considerable rights.

Jiang Pei'an wouldn't try to bully him just to make fun of himself.

After dinner, Jiang Pei'an and Old Brown went back to Lionsgate to rest.

In the afternoon, all the actors came to the scene.

The four were all boys, so Jiang Pei'an didn't talk nonsense and let them audition directly.

The four were divided into two groups, and the trial scene was the first scene at the beginning of "Chain Saw".

Wake up in the bathroom.

Probably the plot is that Adam woke up from a coma and found himself locked in a dilapidated basement.

Not far from him, another person was locked, Lawrence.

On the floor between the two of them was a man who had been dead for a long time, his body was covered in blood, and he still held a pistol in his hand.

Just when the two were wondering why they came back to this place, the auto-playing tape left in the house rang.

The tape ordered Lawrence to kill Adam within eight hours.

Otherwise, both would die, and Lawrence's wife and daughter would also be killed.

This scene is very important, and the opening scene is in an abandoned bathroom.

Dim lights, stained bathtubs, jigsaws that can only be heard.

The bloody floor, the corpse lying in the middle of the secret room...

The tone of the whole film is dark and gloomy, giving people a gloomy and depressing feeling.

Under this kind of space squeeze, on the one hand, the protagonist's emotions are infinitely magnified.

The sense of urgency that comes with the passing of time, the sense of desperation that hangs in the balance and you don't know how to escape.

People can no longer put themselves in a safe place, everyone has only the desire to survive, and they must self-mutilate and mutual mutilation to save themselves.

If these two groups of actors can continue the opening scene and make Jiang Pei'an feel that it is not inferior to the original version, then it is necessary to stay.

But...Jiang Pei'an obviously overestimated this group of people.

After the four performed, they obediently waited for the director's comment.

Jiang Pei'an turned to look at Old Brown.

That's it?

Although it is a commercial film, can we have some artistic pursuits?
Old Brown said bitterly:

"Jiang, our budget is only $80."

Jiang Pei'an was expressionless, and Wen Ziren spent US$2004 million in the filming of "Saw" in 120.

When it comes to him, it will directly shrink by 40. Even if inflation occurs, 40 cannot be evaporated!

I really want to curse!
He almost forgot that in addition to being famous for making horror and bloody movies, Lionsgate is also famous for being picky!
"Okay, I think their performance is not without merit, what do you think, Mr. Producer?"
