I'm not just a director

Beijing, Huayi.

Just like the helplessness of Li Xing and others in the magic city, Huayi also gathered for a meeting.

Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei were sitting on the sofa, facing Feng Xiaogang and Ge You.

"Xiao Gang, you are the director, please tell me your opinion."

Wang Zhongjun looked at Feng Xiaogang and asked slowly.

Feng Xiaogang spread his hands and said:
"My opinion is not important, what matters is what the bosses and Colombia have to say.

Whether to fight or withdraw, the bosses first discuss a charter. "

Xiaogangpao's "Big Wrist" has entered the stage of publicity and release in the early stage, and it has been announced that it will be released on December 12st.

Various promotional materials and public relations drafts have also been released, and now a "source code" pops up.

It really caught "Big Whistleblower" a little off guard.

Wang Zhonglei has a bit of a temper, not as calm as his elder brother Wang Zhongjun. He crushed the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said harshly:

"What are you afraid of? If you want me to tell you, let's do it! The New Year's Day market is huge, and the audience can't all go to see his "Source Code".

Besides, we have the golden pair of Xiao Gang and Ge You, so we may not be able to fight him, so don't be overly pessimistic. "

Hearing Wang Zhonglei's words, Feng Xiaogang glanced at him, but did not speak.

But I said in my heart, what the hell.

This is not about going to the battlefield to fight for territory, or whoever has more people on that side will win.

If the combination of Feng Xiaogang + Ge You was placed in previous years, it would definitely be unfavorable.

But now... Wang Zhonglei, do you want to listen to what you are talking about?
Ge You bowed his hands to Wang Zhonglei modestly, without expressing any opinion.

……

Wang Zhongjun glanced at him, thinking that no matter how he looked at his brother, he seemed to have a brain problem.

"Source Code" has aroused heated discussions among many people since the news of its finalization was announced.

The trailer, which is less than 1 minute, has repeatedly crushed the video website.

And the quality and content of the trailer are obvious to all.

As far as he knows, three movies that are currently scheduled for New Year's Day have announced their delays and squeezed into the Spring Festival.

Recall that when "Big Wrist" was finalized, there was a wave of momentum in the media, and the audience also left messages looking forward to it.

and then?
Nope, the heat only lasted for a week or so, and there wasn't any splash after that.

But "Source Code" is different. It has two novelties of "sci-fi blockbuster" and "parallel time and space" on its head.

To directly fill the audience's sense of expectation, the key is that people really have something, and the enthusiasm continues unabated.

Are you saying not to be pessimistic now?

Didn't you see the box office of "Taken" last year?
The box office of all Feng Xiaogang's movies today is not as high as that of "Taken".

Such a strong box office appeal, if you don't avoid its edge, do you still have to rush forward and use it as cannon fodder?
Wang Zhongjun already had the idea of ​​​​withdrawing from the file at this time.

They are private companies, and they make movies for the box office and to make money.

It's not like a certain film studio and other units. If they lose money, they will be real money, and they will feel distressed!

"Ahem, let's withdraw the file first, and I will discuss it with Columbia first.

We will announce the specific release time when it is confirmed. "

In the end, Wang Zhongjun made a final decision.

After the big boss said so, Feng Xiaogang and Ge You could only nod.

Only Wang Zhonglei still looked unconvinced.

Feng Xiaogang and Ge You walked out of Huayi, they stood at the door smoking, Ge You smiled and said:
"This is also very good, there is no need to fight in the ring."

Feng Xiaogang smoked a cigarette expressionlessly, and was silent for a while before saying:
"That's the reason, but when you think about it carefully, it's really fucking awkward. It's always someone else who makes way for us. I didn't expect..."

Ge You shook his head, smiled and said:
"I didn't expect to be beaten by someone in my own territory, hehe, the times are changing, and talents are also emerging in batches.

After all, one day, we will also reach the day when we can't shoot or act, just watch it. "

Feng Xiaogang threw the cigarette butt on the ground and patted Ge You on the shoulder:

"Just look at it, it's not bad, it's just that his mother feels uncomfortable!"

"Drink?"

"Walk."

……

"Due to technical reasons and after careful consideration, we regret to announce that the original plan to release "Big Whistleblower" on December 12 has been temporarily cancelled.

We reselect February 2002, 2, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused to you..."

"Withdrawal statement, the movie "Smart Little Ghost vs. Stupid Thief", which was originally scheduled to be released on January 1, cannot be released as scheduled due to production progress.

After consensus among all the film studios, it was decided to withdraw the file and postpone the release, and the re-release date will be notified separately..."

"I regret to apologize to fans and friends. The movie "Days and Nights I Miss You" cannot be released as scheduled..."

When the withdrawal statement of "Big Wrist" was announced, a large number of films that were originally scheduled to be released on New Year's Day chose to withdraw their files.

At the same time, so many withdrawal statements are released, which is also very explosive in the contemporary film industry.

During the same period, the film was withdrawn seven or eight times, and finally the audience noticed something was wrong.

"Damn it, Director Jiang is making noodles, exclusive New Year's Day stalls!"

"Hahaha, this is all a concession to "Source Code", right? Thank you Director Jiang, for saving us from trying some big bad movies."

"To be honest, I didn't expect this result to be true. Director Feng's "Big Name" actually chose to temporarily avoid the edge of "Source Code".

You must know that the Lunar New Year stalls have always been Director Feng's home game, so it can be seen that Director Jiang is really top. "

"Feng Xiaogang: I don't want to retreat either, who made the other party aggressive!"

……

When Jiang Pei'an saw this result, he was caught off guard.

"Is this all an appointment, guys?"

Jiang Pei'an was surprised when he saw the statement on the Internet.

Hu Jing was wearing an apron, wiped her hands with a towel, put her hands around his neck, close to his ears, and said with a smile:
"That's because everyone doesn't want to touch you, Great Demon King~"

Jiang Pei'an hugged her slender waist and said slowly:

"Then why did you send it to my arms, aren't you afraid?"

"Hahahaha, itchy, don't make trouble~"

Hu Jing broke away from his arms with a smile and said.

Jiang Pei'an held her in his arms, put his chin against her head, and said:
"Actually, that's fine, "Source Code" has a mission this time."

"With a mission?"

Hu Jing asked in puzzlement.

"Breaking [-] million, the last "Taken" almost broke [-] million. China Film Group is looking forward to it. Director Han and the others have high hopes for "Source Code."

Jiang Pei'an said slowly.

Can "Source Code" break through [-] million?
Although the movie has not yet been released, some media have already begun to write a lot and continue to express their opinions.

We are divided into two factions, one is radical and the other is conservative.

Radicals believed that Jiang Pei'an's movie broke [-] million yuan, and maybe it could break the box office of "Life and Death".

The conservatives said that they are not optimistic about the success of "Taken" depends on its excellent choreography and the great cool point of staring at a "Chinese man hitting the ball".

What's more, the plot of "Taken" is essentially a story of a father rescuing his daughter.

This kind of story is suitable for all ages, and the happy ending is especially suitable for the whole family to watch together.

This kind of movie is excellent both in terms of plot and rhythm, and it is only natural to have such achievements.

But Source Code...

Now there is nothing to be seen with just a trailer. As for the special effects technology that is touted on the Internet, there are many Hollywood blockbusters.

If you want to see special effects, there are many films sold under the overpass, and you can watch the full set for 20 yuan.

So the special effects you guys are talking about are not worth mentioning at all...

Jiang Pei'an smiled and briefly introduced to Hu Jing the fact that the Internet is divided into two factions.

Hu Jing frowned and said:

"It seems that most people don't like you at night."

Jiang Pei'an shrugged and said:

"You can believe what people say on the Internet, but you can't believe it all. As for the final result, no one knows the specifics until the movie is released.

It can only be said that we tried our best to make the movie well, and the final result will be left to the audience to judge. "

It is true that Jiang Pei'an is a reborn person, but he is not a god, and he cannot guarantee that the box office will be a hit after the movie is released.

As he said, just do your job well.

After all, "Source Code" has been tested by the market in the previous life, which is enough to prove its excellence.

Now it was only filmed more than ten years earlier. If there are no accidents, the box office of the movie will definitely not be too bad...

"It's okay, I believe in you, our movie will definitely be a hit!"

Sensing the pressure on Jiang Pei'an, Hu Jing pumped her fists to encourage her.

Jiang Pei'an touched her head, nodded affectionately on the tip of her nose, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, even if it doesn't break [-] million, China Film Group won't do anything to me. Anyway, "Inception" has entered the period of special effects shooting, and Director Han is not a short-sighted person."

Jiang Pei'an's starting point is too high, which led China Film Group to place high hopes on him.

Although there was an agreement similar to "the box office of "Source Code" is less than [-] million, not to shoot "Inception"".

But obviously the form cannot help him to decide, Lao Mouzi's new images are all in preparation for the big production "Hero".

As the leader of domestic films, China Film Group cannot remain indifferent.

No matter what agreement was made in the early stage, it is already a rush.

This is also an important reason why Jiang Pei'an's "Source Code" was not released, and Han Shanping directly arranged for the special effects of Industrial Light and Magic to enter the stage.

Hu Jing nodded half-understood, she didn't understand the twists and turns, all she knew was to trust the man in front of her unconditionally.

"Director~ Since the pressure from China Film Group is so great, let's not make movies for them. If you like making movies, we can do it ourselves."

Hu Jing blinked her big eyes and said seriously:

"I have saved a little money from filming in the past two years, although it is not much, but I, I can make movies for you.

Let's shoot a small-budget movie. With your talent, you can definitely soar into the sky. "

As she said that, she looked at Jiang Pei'an worriedly again:
"Should be enough?"

Seeing Hu Jing's serious face, Jiang Pei'an couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't laugh, I only have so much, is it enough, tell me~"

Hu Jing shook Jiang Pei'an's shoulder and asked.

Jiang Pei'an put away his smile, looked at Hu Jing's face solemnly, and said slowly:
"Don't worry, Jingjing, it's definitely enough!"

As he spoke, he emphasized his tone again:

"Before I planned to leave China Film after filming "Inception". You also know that I have my own company. After that, we can produce films by ourselves. As for China Film, we can cooperate."

"You really don't need it?"

"I really don't need it. Believe in your man, I can ask you to make a small-budget movie with tens of thousands of dollars and win the Cannes Award. How about tens of millions of "Source Code" to go to grandma's house?"

Jiang Pei'an comforted Hu Jingdao.

"Hey, I knew it, director, you never let me down."

Hu Jing held Jiang Pei'an's face and smiled.

Jiang Pei'an turned over and pressed Hu Jing under him, and said with a smile:
"All the questions that should be asked have been asked, how about we do something we love?"

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, a blush quickly covered Hu Jing's cheeks, and said falteringly:

"What, what to do... Uh, director ~ don't..."

Before Hu Jing could finish her sentence, she was bullied by Jiang Pei'an.

……

Journal of "Huaxia Science".

"Parallel world [also known as parallel universe (Multiverse, Parallel universes), or multiverse theory].

Refers to an unproved theory in physics that, according to this theory, there are likely to be other universes beyond our own.

And these universes are a reflection of the possible states of the universe, which may or may not have the same fundamental physical constants as the universe we know.

The term parallel universe was coined by the American philosopher and psychologist William James in 1895...”

The "Huaxia Science" newspaper suddenly published a report in this month's issue.

Newspapers and periodicals have used large-scale reports to let readers understand the concept of "parallel universes".

Then the topic changed, and the report went directly to another direction.

"According to the exclusive knowledge of this publication, "Source Code" directed by Jiang Pei'an adopted this theory, and its content..."

Once this report was issued, it aroused heated discussions among the readers of Huaxia Science.

""Source Code"? Is it a science fiction movie? It seems to be very popular recently."

"Hahaha I didn't expect to see Director Jiang's name in "Huaxia Science". It was really a kind of unexpected joy."

"Those who say that there is no science fiction in China, don't their faces hurt? This is an authoritative publication of science fiction in China for more than ten years!"

The report of "Huaxia Science" directly pushed the movie "Source Code" to a climax of public opinion.

Just when everyone was still immersed in the parallel universe theory created by "Huaxia Science", someone suddenly blatantly sang against it.

"Parallel universes? I don't deny this point of view, but when is it the turn of a movie to make irresponsible remarks about the scientific world?

It is true that science can only progress through endless conjectures, but when science is tainted with profit trading, can it still maintain the simplicity of science? "

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

This public naysayer is none other than the well-known "public intellectual" Song Zude.

Song Zude is also interesting. After graduating from university, he invented height-increasing insoles and bought height-increasing knee pads and shoes.

Later, I opened a Cantonese training class and worked as a real estate agency. I earned 300 million yuan by bluffing and cheating for more than three months.

It is worth mentioning that he was detained for several days when he founded the "Scandal" in a whimsical way, but at this time his talent for hype had already shown itself.

Song Zude, who sang sweetly, went further and further on the road of hype... (End of this chapter)
