I'm not just a director

Chapter 224 Grand Victory Party
"Source Code" box office breaks [-] million celebrations held in Beijing.

A celebratory dinner will be held at 5:[-] pm.

Director Jiang Pei'an and Han Shanping, vice chairman of the producer China Film Group, both participated.

As the protagonists of the film, Hu Jun, Gao Yuanyuan, Zeng Li, Wang Jingsong and others were all present.

There are still a few supporting roles left, such as those from Class 96 of the Chinese Opera, and the staff of the crew also came here.

With the pre-publicity of "Source Code" and the box office of over [-] million, as the only special effects producer of the film, Hualong Digital was also led by Lei Zhenyu to participate in the celebration banquet.

Others are various media and randomly selected movie fans and audiences.

This celebration banquet can be described as huge, after all, it is under the banner of the first domestically produced commercial film breaking [-] million.

At the scene, some media brought computers and network cables to broadcast live broadcasts of pictures and texts on blogs or portal websites.

The host is Han Shanping's friend Zhang Guoli.

The last time Jiang Pei'an went to Portland to participate in the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards Gala, he was the host.

When they meet again, the two can chat.

Uncle Guoli is good at everything, but he is not very good at educating his son, which has become a stain in the future.

Since it was the celebration party of "Source Code", Han Shanping and Jiang Pei'an didn't invite too many guests.

Jiang Pei'an only invited his cheap apprentice Liu Tianxian and her mother Liu Xiaoli to the scene.

After Jiang Pei'an opened the champagne, everyone stood on the stage and took a group photo under the banner of ""Source Code" Breaking [-] Million Celebration", and then it was over.

In fact, it is so simple and unpretentious. After all, this is also the first domestic celebration party with a box office exceeding [-] million yuan, and no one has done much to design the link.

As for the celebration of smashing ice sculptures like the later generations, it will take another ten years to become popular.

"Pian is an excellent young director, in fact, it is hard for me to imagine applying the term young director to him.

After all, which young man can achieve such an achievement? The first commercial film in China to exceed [-] million yuan is destined to be recorded in film history.

Before going on stage, I asked Director Han, I said that your movie has a box office of over [-] million, is there any merit? "

Uncle Guo Li stood on the stage with a microphone and said with a smile.

The originally lively scene immediately fell into silence following Uncle Guoli's words.

Only the sound of media workers with computers on the scene typing on the keyboard frantically.

"Damn, Uncle Guoli really dares to ask!"

"To be honest, I also really want to know about this matter. When "Taken" was released last time, there were Hong Kong media that broke the box office."

"Uncle Guoli deserves to be Ji Xiaolan with iron teeth and bronze teeth, he dares to ask such words!"

"Take a photo of Director Han and see, is his face dark now?"

At this time, the graphic live broadcast room was frantically scrolling through comments and messages, and everyone was stunned by Zhang Guoli's words.

Jiang Pei'an glanced at Han Shanping next to him, seeing that he was still smiling, he immediately calmed down.

As if Zhang Guoli didn't see the reaction of everyone present, he continued:
"Think about it, what is the concept of a domestic film with a box office of over [-] million?
What a huge number of moviegoers!I am not the only one who has this question, I think everyone at the scene must also be muttering in their hearts.

So, I asked this sentence in front of Director Han himself, do you know how he replied to me? "

Zhang Guoli paused, whetted everyone's appetite.

"How did you reply?"

"Wait online, it's very urgent."

"Tell me, there won't be commercials in the middle, hahaha?"

Zhang Guoli smiled slightly, took the microphone and continued:
"He gave me an unforgettable answer, the original words are..."

Zhang Guoli cleared his throat, imitating Han Shanping's voice, and said:

"George, if "Source Code" hits the box office, how dare I hold this celebration party? How dare I appear at this celebration party?"

Zhang Guoli said this sentence in the Sichuan and Shu dialect.

Then, Zhang Guoli switched back to his own voice:
"Er Huo?"

"My son!"

When Zhang Guoli imitated his conversation with Han Sanping, the audience was stunned.

Immediately there was warm applause.

Some people even laughed out loud, and there was no one else who dared to talk to Han Shanping like this except Zhang Guoli, his buddy.

Jiang Pei'an also smiled slightly, watching Zhang Guoli playing tricks on the spot.

"What does Erhuo mean?"

Gao Yuanyuan next to Jiang Pei'an asked in a dazed voice.

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:
"In the Sichuan-Shu dialect, it probably means that the son deceives you, that you are a son."

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Gao Yuanyuan reacted for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

"Do they have such a good relationship? Just kidding like this."

"We have been friends for more than 20 years. When Director Han was in Emei Studio, the two were best friends."

Jiang Pei'an said on his lips, but he sighed in his heart:
Uncle Guoli is indeed quite experienced.

After "Source Code" exceeded [-] million yuan, there were voices of doubt on the Internet.

When you do something that others cannot do, it is not only praise, but also doubt and ridicule.

The emergence of the argument of box office water injection does not lack a mass base, after all, there has never been a movie that has achieved this result.

Maybe this matter happened to the three major directors Feng, Chen, and Zhang, and the doubts may be a little less.

But for a director under the age of 25, is it a bit too exaggerated to have a box office of over [-] million?
Uncle Guoli broke the rumor on this occasion.

Not to mention whether Han Shanping had this conversation with him.

But Han Shanping's name was used as a guarantee...

Still the same sentence, probably only he dares to play like this!
Now that they have all cue to Han Shanping, Han Shanping took the microphone from Zhang Guoli and said with a smile:
"Congratulations to Director Jiang and the crew of "Source Code", thank you for contributing an excellent work to Huaxia Films."

This defaults to what Zhang Guoli said just now.

Immediately, there was intense applause from the audience, and sometimes the big boss only said one sentence and it was worth ten thousand.

This is probably also the first time that Han Shanping publicly supported a movie with untrue remarks.

This is all news material!
After this short period of small turmoil, the next step is the reporter's questioning session.

As a director, Jiang Pei'an was naturally the target of many reporters.

"This question I want to ask Director Jiang, does the success of "Source Code" mean that domestic films are about to make a substantial leap forward, and I mean the box office."

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:
"Regarding the question you raised, some time ago, a certain director of Zhang Yi called me on the phone, and he congratulated "Source Code" for surpassing [-] million at the box office.

I was actually a little embarrassed, because I felt that I took away the chance of "Hero" as the first domestic film to break [-] million. "

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, the reporter smiled slightly.

understood.

Jiang Pei'an said that among Huaxia directors, only his and Zhang Yimou's films have grossed over [-] million yuan.

Or, only "Source Code" and "Hero" can exceed [-] million, and other movies are rubbish...

Even if Jiang Pei'an was killed, the reporter was already thinking about which headline to use for the news.

"Hi, I would like to interview the leading actor Hu Jun, this is your first time working with director Jiang Pei'an, and before that you played a supporting role.

This is the first time to play a male lead, oh, there is also a "Lan Yu"... Uh, sorry, can this be said? "

Looking at the female reporter in the audience, Hu Jun's face turned dark.

Good guy, this is asking such a weird question in front of Han Shanping.

If one answer is careless, if he offends the big brother Han Shanping, he will be finished.

"Lan Yu" is an illegal film secretly filmed in China.

At that time, the briefing meeting held by the Film Bureau pointed out that Guan Jinpeng was also warned, and he sent a letter to the Hong Kong Provincial Directors Union hoping to attract enough attention.

For those "underground films" that have not obtained a shooting license, illegal films that have not obtained a public release license, or have not passed censorship.

Films held or participated in domestic and foreign film festivals without the approval of relevant competent authorities.

All will be punished in strict accordance with the new "Film Management Regulations".

Well, at the same time, it was pointed out that there was also the fruitful "Durian Fluttering" that was secretly filmed.

It's the movie starring Hu Jing's good friend, silly elder sister Qin Hailu.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Hu Jun to be dark at this time.

Seeing Hu Jun's embarrassment, Jiang Pei'an took the microphone and said with a smile:
"All good actors have something in common, and sometimes an actor's ability to display his talent depends on the director.

Some directors are very strong, don't like actors to question themselves, and let the actors strictly implement the script, we in the industry call it a tyrant on the set.

Hehe, unfortunately, I am probably such a person, um, everyone, don’t rush to criticize, I am already making changes. "

"Oh, okay, thank you Teacher Hu and Director Jiang..."

The female reporter replied.

Jiang Pei'an's words were regarded as a relief for Hu Jun, but the latter sentence was even more of an excuse for Hu Jun.

Secret filming is decided by the director, and actors can't help themselves, so don't go online.

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Han Shanping smiled slightly.

This kid is very cautious.

The following interview continued, and many reporters also asked Gao Yuanyuan and Zeng Li questions.

After all, these two can be said to be regulars in Jiang Pei'an's movies, and they were once dubbed "Ann Girls" by the media.

From "Taken" to "Source Code", Gao Yuanyuan has always been the heroine.

Zeng Li gets one for the supporting role and one for the heroine.

Seeing the two women calmly answering the reporter, Jiang Pei'an was quite moved.

With the release of "Source Code", the titles of "over [-] million heroines" were directly dubbed on the heads of the two women.

It is foreseeable that the two girls will be the first batch of florets in the entertainment industry.

This is why many people want to hold the thighs of famous directors, and even act in movie roles for self-recommended seats.

As long as a movie is a big hit, it is basically ushering in the peak.

This era is simple, as long as you have good works, you are basically not far from becoming famous.

Unlike later generations, fan circle management, traffic stars, etc., all kinds of routines are dazzling.

A look at representative works, none!
……

The celebration was over, and Jiang Pei'an went straight home.

"Teacher, hasn't your movie already exceeded [-] million overseas?

Why is there such a big battle in Huaxia? "

Liu Tianxian is going back to the northeast with his mother Liu Xiaoli today.

The two originally wanted to wait until the results of the final art test came out before leaving.

However, the elderly in the family were in a hurry, so Liu Xiaoli had to take her daughter back home.

Hearing Liu Tianxian's words, Jiang Pei'an patted her on the head and said with a smile:
"Do you usually watch movies abroad?"

Liu Tianxian looked at his mother and replied:

"My mother didn't let me watch it before, but when I wanted to be an actor, my mother often took me to the cinema.

Some of my classmates like watching movies very much. They usually go to watch their favorite movies when they are resting or relaxing. "

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:
"So, watching movies is already a common thing in foreign countries.

But in China, everyone does not, or we have not cultivated the habit of going to the cinema to watch movies.

There are fewer people watching movies, and the movie box office is high. Isn't that enough to explain the problem.

And the teacher is the first commercial movie to exceed [-] million yuan, the first one, it has to be treated solemnly. "

Jiang Pei'an explained to Liu Tianxian in plain language as much as possible.

The girl turned her mind quickly, and immediately thought of the problem.

"So that's the case, teacher, when I come back from my hometown, can I study with you?"

Tianxian's course abroad has ended ahead of schedule. As long as she passes the art test, she will probably wait until September this year to start school.

In other words, she will be free for the next few months.

"Sissy, the teacher is usually very busy, how can she have time to take care of you?"

"Mom, I'm already 15 years old, I'm not a child anymore."

Tianxian pouted dissatisfiedly.

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:

"The teacher will be filming on the film set in the next few months. If you want to come over, just follow me when you come back from your hometown."

As he spoke, he looked at Liu Xiaoli and said:
"Since Sissy decided to take this path, getting familiar with the set in advance is also to lay the foundation for the future."

Hearing that Liu Xiaoli was a little moved, this is Jiang Pei'an's crew.

Now that he offered an olive branch to a place that other people couldn't even enter, Liu Xiaoli naturally didn't want to miss it.

"But this child is very naughty... Can I take care of her by my side?"

Jiang Pei'an was not surprised to hear Liu Xiaoli's words.

When Liu Tianxian was filming, Liu Xiaoli was her manager, and she was solely responsible for some commercial connections.

Later Liu Tianxian filmed "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and was taken advantage of by the extras. The furious Liu Xiaoli went directly to the bearded Zhang Jizhong to ask for an explanation.

But at this time, those temporary group performers had long since disappeared, and although the scene of Liu Tianxian being robbed was captured by the camera.

But there are so many people in the picture, and it is really hard to see who is stretching out the salty pig's hand.

In the end, this incident could only be let go, and this incident also made Liu Xiaoli protect Liu Tianxian every step of the way on the set.

"No problem, just come here when the time comes, and I'll take you to the airport first."

Jiang Pei'an has always been negligent in taking care of the cheap apprentices, and now all he can do is go to the airport to see off the mother and son.

……

At the beginning of February, "Source Code" was released in the mainland, and it was released in Hong Kong and the world at the same time.

And "Big Wrist", which has no news, has also announced that it will be released on February 2th.

The movies that were previously withdrawn around "Source Code" were also released in February.

For a time, the film market was in full swing...
