I'm not just a director

"Jiang Pei'an's new movie "Source Code" is about to be released, a domestic sci-fi movie, hit hard!"

"Who said there are no sci-fi films in China? "Source Code" is for you!"

"It's fixed, it will be released on New Year's Day! Jiang Pei'an's "Source Code" is here!"

Marketing for Source Code began online after the insider screening was over.

The media kept releasing marketing and public relations drafts, and movie fans celebrated the New Year in place.

Just kidding, director Jiang's annual movie release, of course, should give enough face.

As a result, both forums and portal websites have followed up and reported the news.

Many fans left comments:
"I finally waited for Director Jiang's new movie to be released. I was looking forward to it when the movie was released."

"One thing to say, there have never been any decent sci-fi movies in China. Director Jiang's challenge this time really satisfies the appetite of many sci-fi fans."

"Attention upstairs, Director Jiang said that "Source Code" is not hard science fiction in the traditional sense.

Some people should not expect too much and then come to scold Director Jiang again when they are disappointed. "

"To be honest, I don't think there's any need to worry too much about hard sci-fi or soft sci-fi. As long as it's a good movie, we will support it!"

"agree!!!"

……

Just when people were discussing heatedly, the first trailer of "Source Code" was born.

As soon as this trailer was released, it immediately attracted the attention of many people. Although the Internet speed was slow, it couldn't hold back the curiosity of netizens, and they clicked on the link to watch it.

There are no formal video sites nowadays, and some well-known video sites in later generations are either in preparation or have no shadows.

So the video can only be attached to the webpage...

Li Tianyu is an office worker, usually doing publicity and planning for the education and training industry.

Education and training is very well developed in first-tier cities, especially megacities like Beijing.

Almost every parent will enroll their children in various interest classes, among which cram schools are the classes that many parents like to enroll in most.

Li Tianyu's brains and eloquence are very good. He has only been in this business for only three years, and he can basically drive a second-hand car.

Nowadays, being able to buy a car, no matter if it is second-hand or new, is something worth showing off.

Especially among the partners who work together in Beidiao, every time they go out to eat and party, Li Tianyu earns enough attention.

Usually, when he sits in the office, he only calls his parents and asks their opinions on the cram school.

Or get a few thick stacks of address books from the "inside", and call them one by one to ask the parents whether to enroll their children in cram schools.

Generally, the phone calls are concentrated at noon and evening, so Li Tianyu is quite free at other times.

On this day, he was surfing the Internet in the office.

Suddenly, a news broadcast popped up on the webpage.

"Jiang Pei'an's new movie is scheduled for New Year's Day, watch the trailer first!" "

Curiosity drove Li Tianyu to click in, and he kept muttering:

"What good sci-fi movies can be made by Huaxia, aren't they all with [-] cents special effects?"

He has heard of this director named Jiang Pei'an. Once a colleague had a dinner, several people in the department mentioned it.

What a returning director, a director sought after by Hollywood.

The most talked about is the origin of this international director.

It is said that he was born in the countryside, and he made it step by step with his talent.

The global box office alone has exceeded 50 billion!

Thinking of this, Li Tianyu dismissed it, and walked up step by step.

People who come out of the countryside want to counterattack, either buy lottery tickets to win the jackpot, or you have a high degree of education and change your fate against the sky.

As for 50 billion, if Li Tianhua can save enough 50, it will be enough to wake him up from his dreams.

50 billion, too far away from his life, just listen to it as a story...

The webpage is still loading, and the progress bar below is advancing bit by bit.

Just when Li Tianyu was about to close the webpage, he actually entered the webpage.

The webpage was a black screen at first, and then Hu Jun woke up suddenly with his head leaning on the car window.

"This actor doesn't look bad."

Li Tianyu glanced at the progress bar, it took about 40 seconds.

It just so happens that it will be free, he leans on the chair and watches leisurely.

There has been a saying in the entertainment circle, called:

"Small fire depends on holding, big fire depends on fate."

This is a bit mystical.

The so-called fire depends on fate. There are many factors in it, but no matter which one it is.

The eyes of the audience must be the first to bear the brunt.

For some actors, the audience feels comfortable and attractive the first time they see them.

Be attracted by the other person's appearance, temperament and charm.

Putting it on the big screen is the entry standard for whether an actor is accepted by the audience.

Hu Jun gave the audience the impression of a tough guy on the screen.

No matter in terms of image, temperament, or personal performance, people feel that he is a reliable man full of positive energy...

The trailer is a quick editing and splicing of content. One second Hu Jun was still sleeping, and the next second the train suddenly exploded.

With the audio output of high dynamic range, it makes people feel thrilling and exciting.

Li Tianhua's computer was connected to a speaker, and the moment the explosion sounded, the speaker immediately emitted a low voice.

Li Tianhua was shocked by this movement, but at this moment his eyes were fixed on the screen.

"This, is this a special effect? ​​Why does it feel so real, as if it exploded in front of your eyes.

If it is filmed, how much effort will the crew have to put in! "

Li Tianhua said in shock.

In the clip just now, the soaring flames produced by the explosion, and the train was blown up for several sections.

The characters in the movie were also affected by the explosion and were submerged in the flames soaring into the sky...

"boom……"

When another explosion sounded from the stereo, Li Tianhua's computer froze with a black screen.

Then came the nasty "buffering".

Li Tianhua held the mouse, wanted to refresh the page but was afraid of reloading, but if he didn't refresh the page, the computer kept saying "buffering".

"This internet speed is really slow!"

Li Tianhua complained, but his heart felt like being scratched by a claw.

He wanted to see the realistic explosion again, and he wanted to follow the trailer to see the storyline below.

As a result, the computer is not strong enough, and it has been stuck on the loading page.

"I have to... go home and use your own Internet to watch it!"

Li Tianyu shook his head and closed the computer webpage.

……

"Brothers, have you watched the trailer? All I can say is, Director Jiang is really awesome!"

"I seem to have seen a love scene in the trailer, science fiction + love? It won't disappoint."

"Upstairs, have you watched Director Jiang's "Love Has an Afterlife"?

I can say this, Director Jiang's love scenes are absolutely not bad, I, a man like me, was so moved in the movie theater! "

"It's not normal to have a love scene. The current film and television dramas are inseparable from this. Learn about human-animal romance."

"The relationship between humans and animals mentioned above is an island movie, please ask for a number."

"The topic above is off to the Atlantic Ocean, I watched the entire trailer and found a few interesting points.

The character played by the male protagonist seems to be a bit of time-traveling. This time-traveling does not seem to be the kind of time-traveling from modern times to ancient times, but the time-traveling of the same time, space and place.

The train kept exploding, and the male protagonist kept waking up from the train. He felt that Director Jiang was playing something new, and his expectations were full.

Finally, I would like to say that director Jiang is awesome, and the special effects are really realistic. Domestic sci-fi movies can be saved! "

"I don't know if you have seen a comic in the United States, Marvel Comics, which has a "Strange Story".

An 8-minute concept is mentioned in the "Source Code" trailer.

In "Strange Stories", Doctor Strange and the big boss Dormammu also negotiated conditions by continuously going back in time.

And there is a very important concept in it, that is, making different choices at different times will have different results, which is also the concept of parallel universes.

Then we can actually have an association with this, the world of "Source Code" is not simply going back in time.

Instead, relying on the protagonist to create nine different parallel universes.

But the ending of eight of them is that the protagonist goes to death, and the world line ends.

Only the ninth parallel universe became the only one that survived...

The above is just a personal conjecture. Director Jiang has only released one trailer now, and he looks forward to revealing more relevant news in the following trailers. "

As soon as the trailer came out, many people were discussing it.

Everyone was discussing the impact of this sci-fi movie on Chinese movies.

After all, in the memory of many audiences, this is the first commercial film about science fiction.

But when the trailer came out, most of the audience was attracted by the exquisite picture quality and realistic special effects.

The domestic sci-fi movies that you have seen before are nothing more than the kind that coax children to play and stimulate children's imagination.

What spaceships, what laser beams, aliens coming to Earth...

It's not that the content is bad, but that it gives people the feeling that they are coaxing children to play.

The special effects are also rough visible to the naked eye, and it can be seen at a glance that it is fake.

But "Source Code" feels different, especially the explosion scene in the trailer.

With such an impactful picture, it was hard to tell whether it was a special effect or a real shot.

……

"Director Jiang, the trailer has been released, and the response has been particularly intense!"

Gao Chengsheng came to Jiang Pei'an's office and said excitedly.

Jiang Pei'an was also checking messages on the Internet at this time, he put down the mouse and said with a smile:
"We basically dumped some of the special effects into the first trailer, and it worked out pretty well.

Otherwise, Manager Lei and his gang would have done nothing for nothing. "

Gao Chengsheng shook his head and said:
"It's not the same, although Manager Lei and the others produced very good special effects.

But the audience seems to prefer the fresh concept of 'parallel time and space travel'. "

"Well, this is also a major selling point of our movie."

Jiang Pei'an nodded.

"When will we release the next trailer?"

Gao Chengsheng asked.

Jiang Pei'an thought for a while and said:

"In half a month, let's make the first trailer more popular.

It would be best to have some scientific journals express their views on the concept of parallel universes in "Source Code", and strive to make the movie out of the circle. "

"Out of the circle?"

Gao Chengsheng was a little puzzled by this new statement.

Jiang Pei'an drew a circle on the A4 paper, smiled and said:
"If we compare our audience and movie fans to a circle.

"Source Code" was originally known only in this circle.

But we use other publicity methods, such as letting fans of scientific publications know about our movies, which is going out of the circle.

Or let the audience in the music circle understand our movie through the theme song, which is also called going out of the circle. "

Gao Chengsheng suddenly realized, and said:
"I understand. It means that things go beyond a certain range and become well-known. I will arrange the science column you mentioned."

"Okay, after the popularity of "Source Code" subsides, we will release the second trailer."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

……

Magic City, Shanghai Film Studio.

The office was filled with smoke.

Several men were puffing and puffing, and among them was a woman with a fresh appearance and a graceful and generous temperament, sitting among them.

Maybe because she felt that the smell of smoke in the room was a bit unpleasant, she opened the window to diffuse the smell of smoke.

At the beginning of November, the magic capital is already a bit chilly.

As soon as the window was opened, the wind immediately swept away all the smoke.

The woman frowned, and said to the men in the room:
"The matter has come to this, why not change the file directly, you have also seen the trailer of "Source Code", we have to go back for the box office."

After the woman finished speaking, someone immediately retorted:
"Old Xu, you said to withdraw, when are we going to withdraw, in case they do well at the box office and it is postponed, we can't withdraw from the New Year's Day file, right?"

Old Xu, Xu Jinglei.

A talented woman recognized in the circle.

Of course, this recognition needs to be quoted.

Everyone in the office belongs to the crew of "Fantasy Eyes".

"Fantasy Eyes" is a movie directed by Li Xing and starring Wu Lala, Xu Jinglei, Wang Xuebin and others.

This is a fantasy romance film, the general plot is:
Wu Gang, the usher of the movie theater, was parasitic in the theater because of eye problems and lost his sleep.

His eyes collected the actions of people in this dark space, those who were in love, those who were about to fall in love...

These all stimulated and affected Wu Gang, and his thoughts began to impulsive fantasies.

With this fantasy in mind, Wu Gang agreed to the date invitation of the girl in the bar, Little Animal, and began to wait for love in the park under the sun...

Probably this is the plot, and the idea is not bad. As Li Xing's third film, this film was later shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival.

Speaking of this director, many people seem to have never heard of it, but they must have heard of the TV series "Ba La La Little Demon Fairy", right?
Well, the big movie "Little Devil" was directed by him.

Li Xing graduated from the Directing Department of Nortel and came from a family of directors. His father is also a famous director at Shanghai Film Studio.

This is a maverick director, when many of his classmates went to accept the "job" of the TV series.

However, Li Xing tortured himself for 4 years for a movie called "Entertainment and Self-Entertainment".

He invited Zunlong to play the role of the farmer. This idea itself is very bold, and he actually turned it into reality...

"Withdrawal... Impossible!"

Li Xing cut off the cigarette in his hand, stood up suddenly, and said viciously:
"Let's fight him, I don't believe he can cover the sky with one hand after New Year's Day!" (End of this chapter)
