I'm not just a director

Chapter 75 Two Familiar Guys

In late October, Jiang Pei'an took Hu Jing to Canada to attend the premiere of "Ghost Story".

Qin Hao won an award in Cannes for "Ghost Story", and his own quality is also good.

He starred in the male lead of a low-budget movie, and he couldn't get away for a while.

This guy is very upset about this.

But Jiang Pei'an obviously heard that he was in Versailles.

"Oh, Director Jiang, I really want to go there with you, but the crew can't start work without the leading actor. I can't delay the progress of the crew because of my going abroad!"

It is typical to get cheap and sell well.

Jiang Pei'an didn't bother to talk to him.

……

The release area of ​​"Ghost Story" is North America, but it is mainly concentrated in the United States and Canada.

This is also in line with Jiang Pei'an's thinking.

After all, this type of film is more popular in North America.

After the two got off the plane, they went directly to the hotel arranged by Lionsgate Films.

Compared with the last time I came to Canada, Lionsgate's attitude is indeed much better. After all, this time I came here as a partner.

Last time... It was purely finding fault!
"Jingjing, take a rest first, and I'll take you out for a stroll later."

Jiang Pei'an helped Hu Jing put away her luggage and said with a smile.

"Good director, but can we stop eating steak and cheese, I really can't get used to it."

Hu Jing said with a bitter face.

In terms of eating, Jiang Pei'an found that Hu Jing, like himself, had no interest in foreign food.

"Don't worry, this is Canada, and 15.00% of the people are Chinese. It's definitely not like looking around to find a Chinese restaurant like last time in Cannes."

"it is good."

Hu Jing said obediently.

Jiang Pei'an returned to his room and was very tired from the overnight flight.

Just as he was about to take a break, the doorbell rang suddenly.

Old Brown's old face appeared outside with a smile on his face.

He opened his hands enthusiastically and said with a smile:
"Jiang, welcome to Vancouver, I miss you very much during the time I'm gone.

Oh, you look a little tired, it seems that I came at a bad time, so sorry. "

Jiang Pei'an glanced at the old glass, and he might cater to the old man in normal times.

But now he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, he waved his hands and said:
"Mr. Brown, you came so fast, I began to wonder what kind of intentions you had in arranging the hotel in advance."

It took less than three hours for Jiang Pei'an to get off the plane and stay at the hotel, but Old Brown came to the door so quickly, maybe it was the hotel who secretly informed him.

"Hahaha, Jiang, your words are as sharp as ever, but please don't doubt the sincerity of Lions Gate. We really want to do our best to be a landlord."

Jiang Pei'an opened the way to let Old Brown in. The old man came in such a hurry, probably something happened.

"Hope I didn't bother you."

Jiang Pei'an smiled slightly:
"If you bring good news, it's not a bother."

Old Brown laughed, and glanced at the instant coffee on the table. He seemed a little displeased, but he still tore open the bag and brewed it.

"It's definitely good news, Jiang, remember the depression you felt when you left last time?
I have solved your worries, to be precise, I have found the protagonists of "Chain Saw"! "

Old Brown stirred the coffee leisurely with a spoon, and said with a smile.

That's it?

Jiang Pei'an sighed and said:
"Mr. Brown, I know you have the qualities to be a producer.

But what I want to say is that we can talk about this matter later, the main purpose of my visit this time is to attend the premiere of Ghost Story! "

Old Brown said seriously:

"But Jiang, "Ghost Story" is already a thing of the past. I believe in your ability and the quality of the movie, and I also believe in our publicity team, so this matter does not deserve your excessive attention.

I said the last time you left Canada, before we meet next time, I will definitely help you settle the matter of actors. "

When he said this, Jiang Pei'an felt that the old man was persistent and cute. He smiled and said:
"Mr. Brown, I am very touched by your persistence and trustworthiness. If there is nothing else, can I take a rest?"

Old Brown was stunned. He certainly didn't know that there was such a saying in Huaxia's later generations:

Ten move but refuse!

Old Brown smiled wryly:

"I don't think I came at the right time. You rest first. When you rest well, let's go meet those young men together?"

As a producer, Old Brown has the right to directly appoint actors, but he is here to ask for Jiang Pei'an's opinion.

It can be said that it was enough for Jiang Pei to arrange a meeting.

Jiang Pei'an is not a person who doesn't know good and bad, he said seriously:
"No problem, I will go to Lions Gate to meet these actors in the afternoon, thank you very much."

"What I should do."

Old Brown nodded and left the hotel after greeting Jiang Pei'an.

……

In the afternoon, after Jiang Pei'an had a good rest, he took Hu Jing to Lionsgate Films.

It was the first time for Hu Jing to come to such a professional film and television company, and she was very curious about everything.

"Let's meet the actors first. When you audition later, you can carefully compare your performance next to you. It will be beneficial to your career as an actor in the future."

Jiang Pei'an instructed.

"Good director."

Hu Jing nodded obediently.

In fact, she was also very curious about the differences between the performances of foreign actors and domestic actors.

The academic school in our country has always had three major theatrical performance concepts, namely:
Stanislavski, Brecht, Mei Lanfang.

Or they can also be called experientialism and the extended methodism, expressionism, and stylization.

From the perspective of stage art practice, these three theatrical views represent three different acting methods and cultural forms of different nations and eras.

It is hard to say which is good and which is bad, but it is worth mentioning that when this concept was proposed, it was immediately regarded as a standard by domestic academics.

It was once regarded by the academics as a magic weapon for different ways. Hasn't that student who studied acting read Stanislavsky's "The Actor's Self-cultivation"?
Some well-known actors in China are also loyal fans of the Sri Lankan style or the cloth style.

As for the Mei style, the early model operas were quite quintessential, embodied in performances like holding hands in pain.

Make a fist in front of your chest when you express determination, and stretch your arms into the air when you are desperate.

Or simply imitate and apply a certain mode of expression.

It's a bit like the performance of the little fresh meat of later generations~

Of course, Meishi does not apply to film and television performances at all, and its greater scope is in stage opera performances.

When Jiang Pei'an brought Hu Jing to the audition room arranged by Old Brown, there were already many people waiting in the room.

Jiang Pei'an glanced at them and saw that they were all unfamiliar faces, but the only thing that surprised him were the two actors sitting in the last row.

A handsome man and a hot woman.

It's interesting, these two people were also found by Old Brown...

　Sorry guys, I owe an update today and make it up tomorrow. I’m on a business trip in Wuhan for the past two days. To be honest, I’m really tired and troublesome, and I’m exhausted.

　　But fortunately, there was a harvest. The supermarket next to the hotel received a daily free seven-star blueberry explosion, hahaha, I have rations.

　　In other words, this thing is really hard to buy, and it is basically impossible to find it in my hometown.

　　I'll make up for it when I go back tomorrow. In addition, brothers, please don't raise books. I want to make a recommendation this week. If the impact fails, it may be put on the shelves.

　　But I will definitely add more after it is on the shelves, there is no doubt about this.

　　Also, sorry again, what a hassle this business trip is!
