I'm not just a director

Chapter 254 Visiting the Immortals
A lot of great things happened in the entertainment industry in July.

A star surnamed Liu was arrested, an actor surnamed Xie publicly announced that he would leave the entertainment industry for a while, and a well-known actress passed away...

The entertainment circle is a vanity fair, definitely not as glamorous as people imagine.

When things happen that subvert people's three views, all that is left is a pile of chicken feathers and the fans' surprise.

During this period of time, Jiang Pei'an was running between Jia and Hualong's numbers.

Gao Yuanyuan joined the crew of "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji", and Hu Jing stayed at home with her parents.

During this time, there was no news about Yu Feihong. It is said that he participated in a costume drama called "Princess Wuyou".

Jiang Pei'an has always felt that Yu Feihong is one of the most suitable actresses to act in costume dramas.

This is also the point of view he has always believed in in his previous life...

"Old Lei, the speed has increased recently."

Coming to Hualong Digital Thunderstorm's office, Jiang Pei'an said with a smile after watching the progress of some special effects.

The special effects he was looking at were projects contracted by Hualong Digital itself.

In the early stages of the division of the "Inception" project, Han Shanping named Thunder Rain's Hualong Digital to take over some of the special effects.

Jiang Pei'an also understood Han Shanping's thoughts, mainly because he wanted to train soldiers.

After all, Hualong Digital is China Film Group's own soldier, although large projects can be outsourced to other companies.

But since they have a team at home, they can't let them eat free rice and call 666 from the sidelines.

Gotta do something.

In the country, especially within the system, as long as the leaders have high expectations for you, you don't have to charge forward and make great achievements.

As long as you put in a little effort and achieve some results, you will definitely have unexpected gains.

For example, after the release of "Inception", China Film Group can fully say that the special effects of this film were completed by Hualong Digital and the world's top special effects company Industrial Light and Magic.

Viewers who don't know the truth will only think that this company called Hualong Digital is awesome, and the light of domestic special effects...

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Lei Showyu grinned and said:
"Hey, it's all thanks to Director Jiang, and now Zhang Guanghua is not the only one helping us.

Even the Chinese special effects engineers in Industrial Light and Magic have already been tempted by the conditions I offered.

Recently they have been coming over from time to time to give guidance on our work. "

Jiang Pei'an nodded, no wonder the efficiency of Hualong Digital has improved so quickly.

"This is a good thing, but we must also pay attention to the impact. Don't forget that Industrial Light and Magic is still cooperating with us, so don't let others talk about it."

Jiang Pei'an reminded.

"Don't worry, Director Jiang, I still know the advantages and disadvantages of this point. What's the matter with you this time?"

Thunderstorm asked.

"Well, how is the documentary about Inception going?"

Jiang Pei'an asked.

As early as when "Inception" started filming, Jiang Pei'an specially hired a team from Hualong Digital to record the filming process.

The documentary is divided into two episodes. The first episode is about the shooting of the film, recording various problems encountered in the filming process and some innovative shooting techniques.

The next episode is about the post-production of the film, and this part is to show the audience the special effects technology used in the film.

However, because special effects are not used easily in "Inception", if it is used, it is also the most cutting-edge special effects technology, and this part of Industrial Light and Magic may not let the filming.

Therefore, most of the shots are to show the preparations for special effects, and then Jiang Pei'an will explain the use of special effects technology from the director's perspective.

If the first episode of the documentary is for audiences to watch and to promote the film, then the second episode will focus more on showing technical achievements to colleagues in the film industry.

"From the moment I got the material, I let my colleagues take over the editing.

However, due to the large amount of material, it is still only a prototype, and we can almost complete it in a month. "

After finishing speaking, Lei Shower sighed again:

"Director Jiang, I really admire you more and more. I was shocked after reading the documentary material.

It’s really hard to imagine that you have accomplished so many pioneering achievements.

Especially the scene in the snow mountain, the explosion on the streets of Paris and the shooting of the revolving hotel, it was an eye-opener. "

Before the innovation of record carriers and shooting tools, a lot of film techniques had to be used to obtain a more perfect picture.

As for the technological innovations made by Jiang Pei'an during the filming process, taking out just a few of them can amaze his peers.

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:
"Then you have to speed up the progress. The first round of marketing for the film will start in early September, and documentaries will take the lead."

"Don't worry, wrap it on me."

Thunderstorms pack the ticket.

"Really looking forward to the day when the movie comes out."

Jiang Pei'an nodded and said:
"Me too."

……

Industrial Light & Magic is working overtime to produce special effects. In addition to the special effects, the rough cut of the film has also been completed.

Because of the more detailed storyboards, the rough cut of the movie went very smoothly.

After giving a more detailed editing plan, Jiang Pei'an began to contact the team responsible for the film's sound effects.

Sound effects and music are two concepts. Generally speaking, sound effects are man-made sound effects.

It is to increase the atmosphere, amplify subtle sounds, and perfect the sound coordination needed in the story.

There is no need for Jiang Pei'an to give too many instructions on this point, he only needs to grasp the big aspects.

As for the theme song, Jiang Pei'an intends to transplant the original music "Time" from "Inception".

In Jiang Pei'an's mind, this piece of music is listed as a Divine Comedy alongside the theme song of "Interstellar".

When the first piano key sounds, you are immediately plunged into the wilderness of time.

The majestic feeling reminds people of all kinds of thrilling and shocking scenes in movie plots.

But at the same time, in a certain beat, it makes people feel dreamlike and unreal.

Of course, due to the abuse of self-media in later generations, this music has also been destroyed to a certain extent...

After everything was settled, Jiang Pei'an had a short rest.

"Teacher, has your film entered the post-production process?"

Listening to Liu Tianxian's clear voice, Jiang Peian was in a good mood after having solved the problem of the film's soundtrack. He smiled and said:
"That's right, it's a pity that you weren't there on the day of the finale, and everyone still asked me why you didn't come."

"It's a pity. If I knew it earlier, I would have asked for a few days off."

Liu Tianxian said regretfully.

Hearing Liu Tianxian's innocent words, Jiang Pei'an laughed.

Liu Xiaoli may not let Tianxian go to the snow area to participate in the wrap-up banquet. Of course, if she asks herself, she will most likely agree.

"Sissy, what's going on with you recently?"

"Not very good, I feel that I acted poorly, especially compared with the rest of the crew."

Liu Tianxian lost his way.

Hearing this, Jiang Pei'an said slowly:
"Sissy, you haven't learned acting seriously yet, don't be discouraged.

Those in the same group as you are all famous actors, you have to compare yourself, as long as you make progress, it is good. "

Among the leading roles in "The Family of Gold Fans", Dong Jie was personally trained by Lao Mouzi in "Good Times".

Although some things happened in her later life that made people have a bad impression of her, today Dong Jie is a pure little white flower in the hearts of many people.

Acting also has a certain foundation.

Not to mention Chen Kun, an actor in the class of 96, except that he is not too tall, but he is also famous for his acting skills.

After all, it is a "factory flower".

Looking at it this way, his little apprentice really has no advantages.

After thinking about it, Jiang Pei'an decided to go to the crew to visit a class to help his little apprentice.

……

Tianjin Italian style area.

There are more than 200 elegant Mediterranean-style buildings here, and walking among them is like walking in a romantic European town.

This is the filming location of the TV series "The Family of Gold Powder".

Because of the unique architectural style, it has been regarded as a check-in point for Internet celebrities and a base for wedding dresses by many couples in later generations.

In addition, the scenic spot also has many former residences of celebrities.The former residence of Liang Qichao, the famous "Ice Drinking Room" is here.

Due to the unique historical style and architectural complex in the Italian-style area, it has attracted many movies and TV dramas.

Such as "The Founding of a Country", "The Wind", "Drug War", "Mei Lanfang" and so on.

As soon as Jiang Peian entered the scenic spot, he saw Liu Tianxian and Liu Xiaoli waiting at the door holding umbrellas.

"Teacher, you are here."

After not seeing each other for half a year, Jiang Peian felt that Liu Tianxian seemed to have grown taller again.

The baby fat on the face has also disappeared, maybe because filming is too hard.

"Director Jiang, this girl Qianqian heard that you were coming, so she was waiting here early in the morning."

The charming Liu Xiaoli pursed her lips and said with a smile.

"Haha, it's too hot here. Let's go in first and say, can we go in?"

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

"Of course it's fine. If Director Li said you're coming, go directly to his office to rest for a while. He will come to you after the filming is over."

Liu Tianxian said with a smile.

"Or, if you feel bored, I can take you around the set."

"Aren't you going to play today?"

Jiang Pei'an asked.

Liu Tianxian shook his head and said:
"I don't need to shoot today, the director asked me to receive you first."

"Hehe, okay, then let's go to the set."

Jiang Pei'an nodded.

Hearing this, Liu Tianxian nodded and led the way like a guide.

"Teacher, this is where we usually put on makeup..."

"This is a place to eat. I'm not used to eating boxed lunches..."

"The studio is right in front, Director Li and the others are filming in it."

Liu Tianxian chatted and introduced Jiang Pei'an along the way.

When she meets someone to say hello, she will also stop and talk to the other person politely.

"This is my teacher, Director Jiang Pei'an Jiang."

The people on the set are all people from the film and television industry. With Jiang Pei'an's current reputation, of course they know each other.

It's just that the little girl will still stop and proudly introduce her to the other party.

"Hello Director Jiang."

"Welcome Director Jiang to visit the class."

"Director Jiang, are you Qianqian's teacher?"

"Sissy is amazing, Director Jiang is actually your teacher..."

Many people were very surprised to hear that Jiang Pei'an was Liu Tianxian's teacher.

Liu Tianxian always looks proud when he sees other people's surprised eyes.

This girl, the character of the Sheniu has already been developed at this time.

Jiang Pei'an's appearance in the crew of "The Family of Gold Fans" caused a sensation.

After seeing this posture, Jiang Pei'an went to director Li Dawei's office after wandering around the crew.

Not long after, Li Dawei walked over with a smile:

"Hahaha, rare guest, welcome Director Jiang to come and guide our crew."

Behind him are the male lead Chen Kun, the female lead Dong Jie, and Xu Lu who plays Xiao Lian.

The name Xu Lu may be unfamiliar to some people. She is the girl who played Ke Yun in "Deep Love and Rain".

"Hehe, Director Li is being polite. I came here this time to see Qianqian. Thank you Director Li for taking care of her during this time. She has caused you a lot of trouble, right?"

Jiang Pei'an got up and said with a smile.

"No trouble, no trouble, Sissy is very obedient in the crew."

Li Dawei said with a smile, and then he smiled and introduced the three actors behind Jiang Pei'an.

"Hello Director Jiang."

Chen Kun, who was wearing a suit and had combed shiny hair, said with a smile.

In the "Zhao Fantian Incident", this person openly sided with her. For this reason alone, Jiang Pei'an had no good impression of this "factory beauty".

The other party should also know Jiang Pei'an's thoughts, so he said hello politely and then stood behind Li Dawei and stopped talking.

"Director Jiang, long time no see, why did you disappear by yourself after you brought me to the set.

When I started it up, I was still asking Director Zhang where did that handsome assistant director go? "

Dong Jie wore two braids and a school costume from the Republic of China. She was not tall, and she had a smile on her face, adding a touch of innocence and charm.

Jiang Pei'an smiled slightly and said:
"It's been a long time. Director Li's drama is very good. Come on."

Jiang Pei'an had no feelings for her, so he just said something casually.

"Hehe, I would like to thank Director Jiang for his kindness back then. I must toast you with a glass of wine at dinner tonight. Thank you very much."

Dong Jie said with a smile.

Just as Jiang Pei'an was about to speak, Liu Tianxian suddenly approached his ear and whispered:
"Teacher, drink less, sister Hu Jing asked me to watch you."

Hearing Liu Tianxian's words, Jiang Pei'an couldn't help but laugh.

The two girls must have had a lot of contact in private, and Liu Tianxian must have told Hu Jing about Jiang Pei'an's visit to the class.

"What's the matter, Director Jiang, what did Qianqian tell you to make you so happy?"

Li Dawei asked with a smile.

Jiang Pei'an said helplessly:

"This little girl is keeping her from drinking."

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed.

Seeing Liu Tianxian and Jiang Pei'an's intimacy, Dong Jie's eyes flashed with envy.

It is really enviable to have a teacher like Jiang Pei'an guarding her when she first debuted.

It is conceivable that if Liu Tianxian shows a little bit of acting talent next.

Wearing the halo of the famous director Jiang Pei'an's "apprentice" can make her future stardom bright.

This is not something that can be compared with the title of "Mou Girl".

Stayed in the office for a while, and at night Li Dawei was the host to clean up Jiang Pei'an.

At the same time, Liu Tianxian's mother and daughter, Chen Kun, Dong Jie and other people accompanied her.
