I'm not just a director

Chapter 217 Homecoming
Judging from the reaction of the audience at the premiere, the effect of the movie is still very good.

It is also from this evening that major theaters began to launch "Source Code".

The New Year's Day file is not the only movie "Source Code".

There are also a few films that insist on not being withdrawn.

The reason for not withdrawing files is simple.

"Source Code" is an action science fiction film, not all audiences like this taste.

What those film studios are focusing on is a sneak attack, taking away the shares other than "Source Code".

But sometimes they also overlook an important point, watching movies costs money.

At the node of New Year's Day, many people just want to have fun.

Any age that wants to put money from someone else's pocket into its own needs a reason.

The film producer, director, cast, and popularity are all reasons for the audience to choose a movie based on comprehensive consideration.

"Source Code" is the first to stand out among the crowd of movies with its excellent comprehensive ability.

"This is a New Year's gift from Jiang Pei'an to the people of the whole country. At the beginning, we all focused on the word 'science fiction'.

In fact, the special effects of "Source Code" are limited to those explosion scenes.

Viewers expecting all kinds of dazzling special effects in this movie may be in for a disappointment.

But I still have to praise the movie "Source Code".

The special effects belong to the industrial level, as long as we work hard, we will definitely catch up.

But the concept and setting presented in the movie completely made up for the deficiency of the 'special effects'.

People who have seen this movie should feel the same, this is the least sci-fi movie! "

Early the next morning, relevant comments on "Source Code" were spread offline and online.

Some were pleasantly surprised, while others were disappointed.

"To be honest, I came here for the special effects of this movie at the beginning, and I also watched the trailer and was shocked by those special effects.

The results of it?I can only say that the essence is all in the trailer, but this movie can scare other movies out of the archives?
Huaxia movies are hopeless! "

"One thing to say, this movie is confusing, especially the ending. I don't understand what it means at all?"

"Please, you don't have to watch it if you don't like it, I just like Director Jiang very much, and I never push too hard.

Unlike some directors, who do fancy things for the so-called visual effects.

"Source Code" has the special effects that should be there, and will not go madly stacking special effects, those who say they are disappointed with Huaxia's special effects.

The special effects shown in "Source Code" prove that we can do it, but we will not abuse it! "

"I like "Source Code", do some people really understand the movie? The setting of this movie is particularly outstanding.

Science fiction movies have never been equal to special effects movies, and Director Jiang also said at the opening ceremony that this is not a hard science fiction movie.

There will not be those cool pictures that everyone imagines. The essence is that this movie is an attempt at another development path of science fiction movies! "

……

Jiang Pei'an just glanced at the comments on the Internet and then closed the movie.

"How's the preparation at the Chinese Opera?"

Jiang Pei'an looked at Su Qing and asked.

"Let's just go there now, we've connected with the school, and the students are rushing over."

Su Qing said slowly.

"Okay, let's go now."

Before "Source Code" was released, I received a roadshow invitation from Chinese opera.

Jiang Pei'an did not refuse. In a sense, Chinese opera can be regarded as the mother of "Source Code".

The class of 96 who starred in Hu Jun, Zeng Li and supporting roles in the film are all graduates of Chinese opera.

Today's promotion is led by Jiang Pei'an, accompanied by Hu Jun and Zeng Li.

In other places, Gao Chengsheng led the team, and Gao Yuanyuan went to promote it together.

……

The auditorium of Chinese opera is full of students.

When Jiang Pei'an and his group showed up, many students stood up from their seats and shouted welcome.

"Welcome Director Jiang back to her mother's house!"

"Brother Hu, you are so handsome!"

"Senior Sister Zeng, the most beautiful Senior Sister Zeng!"

The students were shouting loudly. Jiang Pei'an took the microphone from the host and asked with a smile:

"Thank you, thank you students for your support, we received an invitation from Chinese opera before "Source Code" was released.

At that time, I agreed without even thinking about it. Do you know why? "

"That goes without saying, of course I'm going back to my mother's house!"

"Director Jiang's crew is the practice base for Chinese opera students!"

"Jiang Pei'an, official partner of Chinese opera!"

Although ridiculed, every student was extremely proud when answering the questions.

As one of the highest institutions of film and television in China, students of Chinese opera can be born with a sense of superiority.

This sense of superiority is not a derogatory term, but pride in one's own school.

The students gave various answers, Jiang Pei'an said with a smile:
"You are all right, I have a deep relationship with Chinese opera, and I know everyone in the 96 acting class of Chinese opera.

I usually keep in touch with everyone. I haven't studied in college. I'm still very happy when you say that China Opera is my natal family.

I hope you will study your majors well in school, as you said, as long as you are good enough.

My crew can become your internship base, um, the kind that can issue an internship certificate! "

Jiang Pei'an's answer made the students in the audience laugh together, and suddenly a student asked:
"Director Jiang, can students from Nortel come to practice?"

Hearing the student's question, the students in the audience burst into laughter immediately.

If Jiang Pei'an has a deep relationship with Chinese opera, then he has a feeling of "opposition" with Nortel.

Jiang Pei'an has never publicly spoken out against Nortel. In fact, many of his partners, whether they are directors or actors, are from Nortel.

However, China Opera and Nortel, as the two well-known film and television schools in China, will always be compared by the outside world.

And because of the grievances between Jiang Pei'an and Zhao Fantian, the attitudes of China Opera and Nortel are completely different.

So everyone always felt that Jiang Pei'an had a different attitude towards these two schools.

All the students looked at Jiang Pei'an, expecting his answer.

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:
"Nortel? As long as excellent people shine wherever they go, if they choose my crew, of course I will not refuse."

As he spoke, he handed the microphone to Hu Jun and Zeng Li beside him.

"Hi everyone, I'm Hu Jun..."

The road show in the Chinese opera did not last long, and the process of watching the movie was completed after the early interaction.

These students are all related to film and television majors, so it is inevitable that they will have various problems when watching movies.

Fortunately, Jiang Pei'an was patient enough to answer the doubts of many students one by one on the spot.

"Hello, Director Jiang, I'm a sophomore majoring in film and television production. It is said on the Internet that your movie is a love movie with a sci-fi cloak. What do you think of it?"

A chubby boy wearing glasses asked.

Jiang Pei'an looked at the boy and said:

"This student majors in film and television production? All I can say is to cherish your current hair. While you still have hair, you can perm your hair more, do styling and take more photos."

"Hahaha."

The students burst into laughter, and the boy who asked the question even smiled wryly and stroked his hair, saying:

"In fact, now I'm starting to lose my hair and I'm staying up all night making videos..."

"3 minutes of silence to you... well, no kidding, about your question just now.

My answer is that love, as the three basic emotions of human beings, is an important element that almost every movie cannot escape.

The reason why everyone has this impression is that the special effects used in "Source Code" are quite restrained.

That's right, I used restraint, as it is said on the Internet, science fiction movies are not equal to special effects movies.

It has never been stipulated how many special effects screens must be included in science fiction movies. This is an extremely immature idea.

You are all Huaxia's future film and television talents, I hope you can understand a little..."

Jiang Pei'an's gaze slowly swept across the audience, saying:

"Movies are a tool for you to talk to the world, and what you express and want to say should not be restricted by rules and regulations.

There is a concept in the movie called crossing the axis, everyone should know it, right?But is it wrong to effectively cross the axis according to the plot of the movie?
What is right and what is wrong?There are no restrictions in the movie! "

After Jiang Pei'an said these words, many students fell into deep thought, and some people's eyes lit up, as if they had gained something.

Crash.

Many students applauded.

"aweason!"

"Director Jiang is indeed my idol!"

"When will Director Jiang start the class, I will definitely go and listen!"

……

After the Chinese opera road show ended, Jiang Pei'an and others rushed to other cities for road shows to promote.

After the road show in Hangzhou, Jiang Pei'an just returned to the hotel to rest, and immediately received a call from Han Shanping.

"Pei'an, the box office on the first day is out!
Guess how much? "

Han Shanping's voice didn't seem to have any emotion.

But Jiang Pei'an still smiled slightly and said:
"It shouldn't be too bad, right?"

"Bad? No matter how bad your director Jiang's masterpiece is, how bad can it be?"

It seems that the results are not bad, otherwise Han Shanping would not be in the mood to joke.

"720 million!"

Han Shanping said over there.

"720 million? Not bad."

Jiang Pei'an nodded.

Jiang Pei'an's calmness directly made it impossible for Han Shan to level off.

No, the boy is so stable!

That's 720 million, and it's just the box office on the first day!

Compared with the box office of "Taken" on the first day of its release that year, it was a full increase of 372 million!
In 2002, China Film Group started to produce action movies.

720 on the first day!

This is a qualitative leap from the previous movie.

In the end, your kid only gave me one sentence, not bad?
You must know that when Han Shanping first heard the news, he was so happy in the office that he wanted to take off in place!
The box office results on the first day directly rank among the top three in today's mainland movies!

Of course, there was a reason for Jiang Pei'an's reaction.

He was already thinking of secretly competing with Lao Mouzi's "Hero".

Although "Hero" has not yet been released, according to Jiang Pei'an's memory.

The first-day box office of "Hero", which was released at the end of this year, was 1580 million.

The box office of more than 700 million yuan has not even reached half of others, so we can only say that we must work harder!

Of course, the first day of "Source Code" was 720 million, which is also an effort.

After all, "Hero" has an all-star lineup, and the gap between Hu Jun and others and Liang Chaowei, Chen Daoming and others is still quite large.

However, the first day is just the beginning, with the passage of time and the fermentation of public opinion and subsequent marketing operations.

Basically, the subsequent box office will far exceed this number.

"What do you think?"

Han Shanping suppressed his mood and asked slowly.

Can't ignore the leader's idea, Jiang Pei'an said with a smile:
"Han Dong, our current performance is much better than that of "Taken".

I have grown so much in a year, and if I say a few boastful words, I also feel that I am awesome.

But Mr. Han, our goal is to break the [-] million mark. When I think about it, I feel a heavy weight on my shoulders..."

"despair!"

Han Shanping heard the sound of a lighter.

Well, this is an emo for the leader.

After a while, Han Shanping said slowly:
"Don't worry, I still have a big move to use, where are you going next?"

Big move?

Jiang Pei'an was a little puzzled.

But he answered truthfully:

"Hangcheng is over here, and the next stop is Xinyang..."

"Xinyang? I remember Pei'an, you are from Xinyang, right?"

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:
"Yes, leader, do you still remember?"

"Hahaha, after the promotion of the movie, you should stay at home for a while, and then go back to the capital."

"Okay, thank you leader for your concern."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

Back to Beijing?It should be related to Han Shanping's big move.

……

Xinyang City, Jiang Pei'an's hometown, is also an important town in northern Anhui.

Xin'an Province is a magical province, geographically it can be said to be a wonderful flower.

The Yangtze River and the Huaihe River flow through it, which happens to divide Xin'an Province into three major regions.

Jiangnan, Jianghuai and Huanghuai, Qinling and Huaihe Rivers divide my country from north to south.

So Xin'an Province also owns the South and the North at the same time.

It is precisely because of this geographical division that the difference between the north and the south is quite huge.

Whether in terms of language or diet, it can be said that there is a world of difference.

The northern Anhui city located in the Huang-Huai-Hai plain, and the southernmost Xuancheng area of ​​Huangshan Mountain, on one side is the Mandarin of the Central Plains.

On the other side may be Wu or Hakka, the difference is almost to the point where it is difficult to communicate.

Jiang Pei'an's hometown, Xinyang City, is located on the north-south artery, the Beijing-Kowloon Line, at the southernmost tip of the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain.

It is the most populous city in New Ontario.

Of course, there are also a large number of migrant workers, and it is a big labor export city in Xin'an Province!
Xinyang City doesn't have much to offer, probably because Ouyang Xiu has been an official here for many years.

As well as the hometown of several famous people...

There is also a West Lake that was once as famous as the West Lake in Hangzhou and a heavy wine culture...

Jiang Pei'an, who listed Xinyang City as one of the roadshows, also had a selfish motive.

This year's Spring Festival he will be busy with the filming of "Inception", so he probably won't be able to go home.

This time, I will take the opportunity of work to go back.

Of course, he also wanted to see the Quyi town he had created.

Since signing the contract with the local government, Jiang Pei'an has never been home to see the changes in the town.

Although Qi Yuefei said on the phone that everything in the town is developing well now.

But this old boy always reported good news but not bad news, so Jiang Pei'an would inevitably miss him.
