I'm not just a director

Chapter 99
new work time.

Here is one of the most prosperous blocks in Manhattan, New York City, known as "the crossroads of the world".

Due to its high popularity, shopping malls or buildings in many famous cities in the world are named "Times Square".

In the small counties of Jiang Pei'an's hometown in later generations, there are places where the name "Times Square" is hung from time to time.

It's not all about selling dog meat. When you get here, you are basically the center of the city.

Of course, the post "Where the center of the city is, that's where it is" appeared later.

Times Square has gradually been replaced by domestic squares.

But it can also be seen from this that the name Times Square is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

There are nearly 40 shopping malls and theaters gathered near New York Times Square, which is a prosperous entertainment and shopping center.

Standing on the street, Jiang Pei'an looked up at a large number of dazzling neon tube advertisements and TV-like billboards.

He remembered a joke from later generations, and said to himself:
"I don't know how to get to the No.1 civilian hospital in New York City?"

"Jiang, are you feeling unwell?"

Old Brown asked with concern.

"Just lamenting the prosperity of Times Square, let's go."

Jiang Pei'an shook his head, and followed Old Brown to the hotel he had booked in advance.

There were a total of more than ten people on this trip, except for Jiang Pei'an, Ryan and Old Brown, the rest of the crew did not come.

Old Brown and Jiang Pei'an walked side by side.

Although he is over seventy years old, Brown's body is already tough.

He carried a cane and wore a well-tailored suit, like a gentleman walking in a private manor.

"Jiang, an old friend will come over to help during the movie screening."

Old Brown said with a smile.

"Marisa?"

Jiang Pei'an guessed.

Old Brown shrugged his shoulders and said:

"That's what you said. I didn't disclose any information. She really wants to surprise you."

"Then it will be time to test my acting skills."

Jiang Pei'an smiled slightly, Marissa herself is a New Yorker.

But she should be in the crew now, the entire 90s to around 00s was the peak period of her career.

Basically maintain the rhythm of two movies released every year.

Of course, for an actress like her, career is the core.

Forgot to mention, this one is unmarried.

In her view, marriage does not seem to be the inevitable end of women.

On the contrary, Yu Feihong had the same idea as his thigh.

But Yu Feihong is not as extreme as she is.

Thighs do not reject marriage, but feel that they have not met a suitable marriage partner.

After learning about Jiang Pei'an's thoughts, Old Brown laughed and said:
"Marisa does participate in many movies and TV shows every year, but she is only a supporting role.

There are not many scenes, the director is not too demanding on her, and the time is relatively free. "

Jiang Pei'an nodded, understanding her situation.

Both at home and abroad, there are many actors who are famous for their supporting roles, and such people are called "golden supporting actors"

For example, Uncle Da, who has passed away.

……

In the town of Douglaston on the east side of New York City, the environment here is very good.

Every day at sunset, the setting sun on the horizon will give this quiet town a layer of golden yellow.

The people who can live here are basically celebrities and dignitaries.

Many celebrities in the United States have left their footprints here.

For example, the founder of Universal Studios, the Rockefeller family, etc.

The history goes back to the "Great Gates on" era.

There is a two-story white brick building in the town, which is very conspicuous.

Such a house, in the United States at that time, only people with extraordinary families would live in it.

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

The low voice from the stereo came from the white two-story building.

A beautiful woman was sitting lazily on the sofa, her fingers gently patting the table with the rhythm of the singing.

Although she has entered middle age, her figure is not out of shape.

Thanks to proper maintenance, her pretty face has not been left too many marks by the years.

"You like this song too, I heard that this director has a new movie tonight at the theater in Times Square.

My friend gave me some movie tickets, do you want to go and see them? "

A straight middle-aged Chinese man came out of the study and asked with a smile.

Liu Xiaoli glanced at the name on the movie ticket, smiled and said:
"I have never seen such a director who is not doing his job properly, not only can sing but also film.

There you go, I'm not interested in this type of movie. "

The man smiled and sat beside her, stretched his arms around her waist and said:

"Then there aren't that many people. Apart from being able to dance, you are also an actor."

Liu Xiaoli's buttocks dodged to the side without knowing it, and said:
"Sissy is in the study."

The middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders, suddenly lost interest, and said:
"Then I'll go and see this idle director. I'm looking forward to his new movie."

Liu Xiaoli frowned and said:

"In the future, talk less about movies and TV series at home.

Sissy had been clamoring to become an actress, but she heard that she was going to make trouble again. "

"I don't think that's a bad thing."

"you……"

Seeing his wife getting angry, the man immediately raised his hands and surrendered:
"I know, I understand, the water in the entertainment industry is very muddy, and you want Sissy to always be clean and pure.

I understand... Then I will leave first, and I will miss the beginning of the movie if I am late. "

"Ah."

Liu Xiaoli's clean chin nodded.

The man reluctantly put on his suit and left.

……

Just like the test screening in Vancouver, we watched the film first and then interviewed.

The theater in Times Square is not as big as the studio of the Vancouver Film and Television Academy.

It can accommodate about 1500 people.

Before the movie started, the reporters set up the machines as usual, and the audience entered the venue in an orderly manner.

After the trial screening in Vancouver, many viewers probably understood the nature of this film.

Invisibly screened out many viewers who came to join in the fun.

After all, the degree of "bloody" in the mouth of film critics can be called an R-rated movie, and many people have been dissuaded.

It can be said that the audience who came to the scene today are basically audiences who can withstand R-rated movies or are mentally prepared.

After all, New York is a metropolis. Since Jiang Pei'an and others entered the venue, many media have flocked to interview the main creators.

Most of the firepower was aimed at Jiang Pei'an.

Jiang Pei'an was not very used to this kind of occasion, so he pushed the old man Brown back and forth, and he lowered the brim of his hat to hide in the backstage.

As a result, many reporters were ambushed backstage waiting for interviews, so Jiang Pei'an took advantage of the movie's opening and hid outside.

New York at night is very lively.

Standing in this bustling environment, Jiang Pei'an seemed to be in an afterlife.

But he smiled. He didn't manage to be able to test the movie in New York in later generations.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

Just as Jiang Pei'an was feeling emotional, a panicked female voice brought him back to reality.

Jiang Pei'an looked not far away, and saw a girl with an oriental face apologizing to a white man in panic.

"Can you please open your eyes and see the way, Chink girl?"

Chink, crack.

Scorning, mocking Chinese people or Asians with slender eyes like a crack is very insulting.

Hearing this, the girl was stunned.

Jiang Pei'an was also taken aback for a moment, and soon an unknown fire surged into his heart.

The girl looked at the tall white man with tears in her eyes.

The white man showed a flirtatious smile, ready to lift her chin with his hand.

Jiang Pei'an interrupted his movement and blocked the girl behind him.

"Oh, Jiang, I didn't expect to meet you here."

As he spoke, the white man raised his camera and ID, indicating that he was also a reporter present.

Jiang Pei'an looked at him coldly:
"leave here."

The white man shrugged indifferently, and said:

"This is New York, you should be leaving, Ching Chong?"

Another discriminatory term for Chinese people.

It's like hearing a ghost when you say this word.

Foreigners say this term is an insult to the image of Chinese people who wear braids and bamboo hats to defecate everywhere.

Jiang Pei'an looked at him and replied coldly:
"Go back to Africa!"

The literal translation of this sentence is "Go back to Africa".

But in this context, it is implied that he has black blood.

The words are hotter and racist people will be pissed off.

Sure enough, the white man clenched his fists in anger, his chest heaving continuously.

However, he still maintained his rational mind. After staring at Jiang Pei'an for a while, he walked towards the theater without looking back.

"Thank you, thank you Director Jiang."

The girl whispered behind Jiang Pei'an.

"Are you from Huaxia?"

Hearing her speak Chinese, Jiang Pei'an asked in surprise.

"Well, I'm from Lu Province."

said the girl.

"Oh, then we are half fellows, and we are relatively close. I am from New Ontario."

"I know, I'm also a reporter."

Jiang Pei'an nodded and asked:

"What happened to you and that foreigner just now?"

"He is a competitor of my newspaper. We both rushed into the theater just now and accidentally bumped into each other."

Jiang Pei'an nodded and said:
"Go in, the movie has already started."

The girl nodded politely.

When she walked to the door, she wanted to bow to Jiang Pei'an:

"Thank you Director Jiang."

"Small thing."

……

After Jiang Pei'an took a stroll outside, he looked at the time, and hurried back to his seat while pinching his waist.

Not long after, the movie screening ended.

Everyone stood up and applauded, and the applause lasted for a long time.

Jiang Pei'an helped Old Brown walk slowly onto the stage, while Marisa in evening dress was already standing on it waiting for them.

No wonder Old Brown said that Marisa had prepared a surprise for him.

It turns out that she is the host today.

"Hey handsome little boy, am I pretty today?"

Marisa held the microphone, looked at Jiang Pei'an who came to the stage and asked.

"Of course, you look beautiful every day."

Old Brown said with a smile.

"Oh, my old friend, you are not quite a boy."

Marisa teased.

There was a good laugh immediately from the audience.

Jiang Pei'an is also gradually adapting to the atmosphere of the theater.

It's just that when he saw the white man who had clashed at the door just now, he frowned subconsciously.
