I'm not just a director

Chapter 97 Global Tour Promotion
After thinking about it, Jiang Pei'an looked at the contact information of Old Monster Xu given by Gong Li, and he still dialed the phone.

He quite likes Mr. Xu's Huang Feihong series.

His martial arts movies always give people a maverick feeling.

No matter what other people think, he is always one of the directors who pushed martial arts films to the top.

It should be quite interesting to work with such a director.

However, people also said that it was just for chatting, so it may not be true that he was asked to make the theme song of "The Legend of Shushan".

Jiang Pei'an dialed Xu Ke's phone number, and after chatting for half an hour, he looked confused.

Xu Ke did invite him to make a movie theme song, but it was not "The Legend of Shu Mountain".

It's another movie of his, "Upstream and Against the Current"...

The main reason is that Jiang Pei'an was also shaken by the fame of "The Legend of Shu Mountain".

During this period, in addition to "The Legend of Shu Mountain", Mr. Xu also directed "Upstream and Countercurrent".

This movie has the popular fried chicken Xiaoxie as the leading role, and the other leading actor is 500.

That's right, it was the 500 who held a concert and let tens of thousands of fans sing to him, but he stood on the stage and listened to the song.

He plays a ruthless killer in this movie, and he has a lot of scenes with Xiao Xie.

It is said that because there will no longer be characters who are as close to me as in "Upstream and Against the Current".

After 500 finished acting in this movie, he turned down more than 30 movie invitations.
This buddy is also a sweetheart!
Old Monster Xu strongly invited him to Hong Kong Province on the phone, wanting to meet this amazing young man.

However, Jiang Pei'an did not agree to him, but said that he would go abroad soon, and he would go to Hong Kong to meet him when he returned home.

Jiang Pei'an didn't mean to prevaricate him, he really wanted to go abroad, and it was a public trip to North America.

The reason is that he has to cooperate with Lions Gate to complete the promotional tour of "Chain Saw" in North America.

Since "Ghost Story", Jiang Pei'an has already accumulated a lot of fans.

However, Jiang Pei'an is very low-key, every time he goes to Canada it is for movies, and he never stays longer.

And Lionsgate never bound him to fulfill any obligations.

After all, even if a little transparent director came out to stand on the street, no one would pay attention.

But with the box office of "Ghost Story" rising steadily, coupled with Lions Gate's deliberate marketing.

Foreign media began to pay attention to this young director from China.

Lionsgate realized that this was a very good opportunity, so they invited Jiang Pei'an to participate in the promotional tour of "Saw".

Jiang Pei'an also planned to cooperate.

After all, he was too low-key before, he didn't accept interviews, he didn't appear on TV, and he didn't spend much time abroad.

The media can't get any news about him!
Jiang Pei'an's fans began to complain about the media's ineffectiveness on the Internet.

Usually catching politicians' lace news is as sensitive as pretending to be a dog's nose.

As a result, I can't even find any news about a Huaxia director!

The fans were irritable, and the media was aggrieved.

Let alone us, even the Chinese media didn't report on him!

It turned out that an American reporter stationed in Hong Kong watched Gong Li's "Pretty Mom".

Originally, he wanted to interview Gong Li, but Gong Li didn't interview him, but accidentally discovered Jiang Pei'an's 'trace'.

Not a movie, but a song!

A piece of music praising motherly love.

When the reporter saw Jiang Pei'an's name, he went out of his way to check it with the crew.

Sun Zhou, the director of "Pretty Mom", was in a daze when he was being interviewed.

What?The movie theme song singer is a director?
And his movies are still raking in 1.5 million US dollars at the box office all over the world?

This caused Sun Zhou, who did not perform well at the movie box office, to suffer a critical blow, and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

The terrible thing is that the American reporter did not realize that he had hurt the heart of a middle-aged man.

Still talking endlessly about Jiang Pei'an's achievements and influence abroad.

Sun Zhou was not interested in hearing it, so he called Gong Li directly to help the reporter verify the truth.

So, the reporter asked the film crew for the soundtrack of the movie and then left.

Movie soundtracks will soon appear on the Internet and on pirated CDs as the movie is released, regardless of whether the crew authorizes it or not.

Most people and even singers think this is a very normal thing.

By the way, it can increase some exposure, which is a good thing!
You said copyright?

Sorry, everyone is not aware of this now.

In fact, even if Sun Zhou didn't provide this movie soundtrack.

When "Pretty Mama" opens at the Berlin Film Festival in a few days, everyone will get it too.

The American reporter happily took away the song. Not long after, a newspaper headline read:

"A Box Office of 1.5 Million, Is He a Singer or a Director?This Chinese director is a gift from heaven to us! "

Below is the photo of Jiang Pei'an receiving the award on the Cannes stage before.

Every year, American movies will make a year-end summary, probably to see how high the box office is this year.

After the results came out, many people were surprised. The highly anticipated "The Matrix" only ranked fourth with a global box office of 4.67 million US dollars.

The first is George Lucas's sci-fi movie "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace".

Worldwide box office: $10.27 billion.

As for the top ten goalkeeper on this list is a comedy movie, "Ace Powers 2".

Worldwide box office: $3.12 billion.

Jiang Pei'an's "Ghost Story" is only in the top [-] or so.

But movies can't just look at the box office, but also calculate the cost, commonly known as the rate of return.

From this point of view, "Ghost Story" is indeed a dark horse, directly rushing to the top of the return rate list.

This made Jiang Pei'an shine internationally!
This is a small newspaper called "New York Monthly", which is suspected of stealing traffic from "New York Daily".

After publishing news about Jiang Pei'an, the newspapers were sold out on the first day!
Not only that, other major newspapers have asked to reprint their newspapers.

All of a sudden, news about Jiang Pei'an spread wildly on the streets.

The media are also frying the leftovers of newspapers that have already been published on the Internet.

"Hi Mr. Jack, please give me a New York Times."

A woman with an oriental face and a rather elegant temperament walked to the newspaper and said.

"Good lady, your newspaper."

"Thank you."

The woman is tall and tall. Although she looks quite old, her words and deeds are elegant and decent.

Judging from her figure and walking posture, she should have practiced dancing.

"Hey, Jack, what are you looking at! People are walking away."

A man who came to sell newspapers shouted loudly to the boss who sold the newspapers.

The newspaper owner reluctantly withdrew his gaze, and said disappointedly:
"Mr. Chica, I assure you, she is absolutely the most elegant oriental woman I have ever seen.

It's a pity that she is already married, which is really desperate news. "

Mr. Chika shrugged his shoulders and said:

"I heard she married a lawyer, oh, lucky fellow, of course I mean the lawyer."

Hearing this, Jack, the owner of the newspaper, covered his chest with a very painful expression.

"Okay my buddy, you really should go to Hollywood, what's the news today?"

"Of course, news about a Chinese director, I really like this director.

Because of that lady, I have a high enthusiasm for Huaxia people. "

"Oh shit, the bastard who kept me awake for a week didn't think he could sing.

What a versatile jerk! "

Mr. Chika pointed at Jiang Pei'an's photo in the newspaper and cursed.

"Is there any news about him?"

Mr. Chica asked.

"No, you know, this is a very mysterious director."

"Where can I hear his singing? I want to see how this guy sings!"

"There is a website in the newspaper, and you can listen to it when you open it. To be honest, I can't appreciate his music, but I like his movies."

Jack pointed to the contents of the newspaper and said.

"Then, goodbye Jack, I wish you an early sleep with the lawyer's wife you like."

"Oh Mr. Chica, you're insulting a beautiful lady, but I'd like to thank you for your blessing."

……

"I took my luggage heavier than my body and swam to the bottom of the Nile..."

On the street, a long-haired white man was holding a guitar, sitting on the side of the street playing and singing.

There was a box in front of him, and there were a few banknotes lying in a mess.

This is a wandering folk singer. His Chinese pronunciation is not clear, but it has a bit of a characteristic with the melody.

But he is also a fan of horror movies.

Folk vagabond singer + horror movie lover, this sounds very fragmented.

But this world is not like that, our spirit and body live in two worlds.

One is omnipotent and the other is ordinary.

When he learned that a director he particularly liked had written a song, he went on the site to search.

Before that, he had never been exposed to Huaxia songs, but music knows no boundaries.

The melody of this song touched him a lot.

When he looked up the meaning of the lyrics on the Internet, he immediately fell in love with the song.

And can't wait to sing him out!
And examples like this are happening in almost every corner of the United States.

This seems to be gradually becoming a niche cultural phenomenon.

……

When Jiang Pei'an arrived at the Lionsgate headquarters in Vancouver, Old Brown had already made his itinerary.

First stop, Vancouver.

Second stop, New York.

Third stop, Los Angeles.

Fourth stop...

Jiang Pei'an was speechless after reading the itinerary.

"Mr. Brown, do I have to attend every stop?"

Old Brown smiled and said:
"Jiang, this is our attempt to reduce your work as much as possible.

As you can see, the promotion of only sixteen stations is really not much.

You know your fans are all over the world now, how can you not bear to meet them? "

Jiang Pei'an was speechless, the global fans that Old Brown said were too hysterical.

"And you have also seen that there is a long interval between the promotion of each station, and you can play for a few more days in each city you visit.

No one will urge you, and you can even appreciate the local customs, all of which are paid for by Lionsgate. "

"Oh, thank you Lionsgate for your generosity."

"Jiang, thank you for your perfunctory."

After Jiang Pei'an agreed to the tour, Lionsgate immediately released an announcement.

And announced the tour site and schedule of "Chain Saw".

The media who got the news were all boiling!

That man, here he comes!
