I'm not just a director

Chapter 260: Separating from China Film Group?
After the National Day, many people began to enter the rhythm of work.

Jiang Peian's three consecutive waves of marketing have been a great success.

It successfully aroused people's expectations and imagination for "Inception" and the movie became a hit before it was broadcast.

Regarding Feng Xiaogang's invitation, Jiang Peian also rushed over.

Feng Xiaogang's wife Xu Fan opened the door. Regarding Xiaogangpao's wife, Jiang Peian could only say that a mature woman has the benefits of a mature woman.

But the little steel cannon is also awesome. Although his appearance is mediocre or even a little below average, he managed to catch up with the beautiful woman.

You must know that Xu Fan was Wang Zhiwen's girlfriend in his early years. Although his methods were not disgraceful, he was still better than those years.

The little steel cannon who is proficient in the art of language was stunned to ask the beautiful Xu Fan to say:
He adopted the words my heart.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here to see Director Feng."

Jiang Peian stood at the door with a fruit basket wrapped by a boutique fruit shop and said with a smile.

"Come in, I'll be waiting for you, ha ha."

Xu Fan wore an apron around his waist and said with a smile on his eyebrows.

She is 1.7 meters tall. Seeing her, Jiang Pei'an reminded her of Xu Fan's appearance in "Forever Lost My Love".

The blue stewardess suit is intellectual and sexy.

With a sweet smile on her face, she was the dream lover of many men at that time.

"okay."

Jiang Pei'an placed the fruit basket at the entrance, and the room was filled with the aroma of food.

Jiang Peian glanced at Xu Fan, who was cooking in the kitchen. In the living room, two men were sitting carelessly on the sofa.

Feng Xiaogang's feet were stretched out on the table with a cigarette in his mouth, while Liu Zhenyun was holding his hands in his pockets and looking up at the world.

Seeing the two of them like this, Jiang Peian was confused:
Why, a man is silent and a woman is in tears?
Hearing the noise coming from the door, the two of them looked in Jiang Peian's direction at the same time.

"Oh, my lord! You are finally here."

Feng Xiaogang slapped his thigh and grinned.

Liu Zhenyun stood up. He was wearing a large, ill-fitting suit with a bunch of keys hanging around his waist. When he stood up, the keys on his body "clacked" like a brigade accountant.

He nodded towards Jiang Pei'an with a smile in his eyes, looking calm and unfazed.

Jiang Pei'an was not very impressed by these writers.

It was only in later generations that writers broke through the circle again and again, relying on nonsense literature, throwing in and out of ideas, and mass-producing golden sentences.

Liu Zhenyun is one of the most active ones.

Director Chen was frustrated when he appeared on "Let's Shoot".

Entered the "Talk Show Conference" as a cold-faced comedian.

He collided with Lao Jia in "A, B, C, D".

In "Longing for Life", "Three sentences asked Huang Lei to add three dishes to me"...

He is both talented and humane, and he has a perfect grasp of the atmosphere in the room.

From a child of a poor peasant family to a liberal arts champion and a Peking University student.

Then he became a top figure in the literary world, a golden screenwriter, a university professor, and a variety show star. His personal struggle history is very inspiring.

In 2018, "Mobile Phone 2" caused a major earthquake in the entertainment industry.

Liu Zhenyun, who was involved, only suffered minor scratches in the end. Compared with other people trapped in the whirlpool, he escaped unscathed.

Regarding Liu Zhenyun, let me borrow two comments from Wang Shuo:
"The only person in the literary world who can pose a threat to me is Liu Zhenyun."

"Liu Zhenyun is ten thousand times more cunning than Feng Xiaogang."

Therefore, Jiang Peian does not dare to underestimate this writer.

Being a writer is actually the job closest to the film and television industry. In the 90s and [-]s, writers were in the spotlight for a while.

This man also fought his way out of that era.

They are all bosses.

"Director Jiang, I have seen all of your movies and I like them very much."

Liu Zhenyun said with a smile.

"Haha, I was just taking random pictures."

Jiang Peian said with a smile, but soon his smile froze on his face, ah... it was such a strong sense of déjà vu.

Everyone in the writers circle recognizes that Liu Zhenyun is the best at praising others.

This "praise" can be understood in any way.

Once, Liu Zhenyun and Wang Shuo, who are both known as "the two sharpest mouths in Beijing", attended a pen meeting organized by Ma Weidu's magazine. At that time, they were not very familiar with each other.

On the first day, Liu Zhenyun said to Wang Shuo: Teacher Wang, you write novels well.

Wang Shuo said it was nothing good, just writing nonsense.

The next day I said: Teacher Wang, your novels are really good.

Wang Shuo said that the writing is really not good, but your novels are also good.

On the third day, I still ate the same thing and said, Teacher Wang, your novels are really good.

Wang Shuo said that I think I write well.

Liu Zhenyun turned to Ma Weidu and said: The average person can only carry it for three days.

This little story was told by Liu Zhenyun as a joke on a TV show, and the show was very effective at that time.

That's why Jiang Peian had such a strong sense of déjà vu when Liu Zhenyun said this.

"Haha, Director Jiang is not only young, but also very energetic. He is indeed a movie that can generate hundreds of millions in box office."

Liu Zhenyun said with a smile.

"Teacher Liu's works are also very good. I like to read them."

Jiang Pei'an said slowly.

"Don't praise me, I can't help boasting, I can't afford to be a teacher."

Liu Zhenyun said immediately.

Just as Jiang Peian was about to speak, Feng Xiaogang put out his cigarette:
"Come on, let me tell you that you two should stop complimenting each other. We are not in the same job category. It's boring to compliment each other like this all the time."

Liu Zhenyun and Jiang Peian looked at each other and laughed, and the three of them sat down again.

Among the three, Jiang Peian and Feng Xiaogang are directors, and Liu Zhenyun is now also the darling of the film and television industry.

Feng Xiaogang and Wang Shuo founded Haomeng Film and Television Company together.

The TV series "Chicken Feathers" is adapted from Liu Zhenyun's novel.

It is the first work of Haomeng Company and has a high market reputation.

It was also from this year that Liu Zhenyun entered the film and television industry and cooperated with Feng Xiaogang, turning his talent into box office.

It was also Liu Zhenyun's first time as a screenwriter for her own novel.

So I got my first huge sum of money: 8 yuan...

Feng Xiaogang lit another cigarette, and as soon as the lighter buzzed, Xu Fan came over from the kitchen and took away his lighter.

"Smoking less, we'll have dinner later."

Xu Fan rolled his eyes at him, turned around and left.

"Women are really troublesome sometimes."

Feng Xiaogang sighed and said with a cigarette in his mouth.

"When Director Feng said this, there was a smile on his lips. Director Jiang, do you think this is a trouble for happiness?"

Liu Zhenyun joked.

"Yes, and it's a very big worry. I'm grinning from the corners of my mouth to my ears."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

"Okay, you two just run against me. Director Jiang, don't get involved with our great writer. He looks calm and gentle, but in fact he is a sword.

It seems neither salty nor bland, but in fact it is magnificent; everything is silent and invisible, and it is unstoppable.

Since having Teacher Liu, we have all entered the realm of looking at mountains but not mountains, and looking at water not as water. "

Feng Xiaogang expressed his feelings.

"Then I'll just take it as you complimenting me."

Liu Zhenyun said with a smile. "Of course it's a compliment."

Feng Xiaogang pointed at Liu Zhenyun and said to Jiang Peian:

"Our teacher Liu has no professional ability. He can even rewrite a line more than ten times. This kind of motivation is rare among writers of his level."

Hearing Feng Xiaogang's words, Jiang Pei'an understood that Xiaogangpao came to him to read the script. He was clearly introducing the screenwriter to him.

But it's no wonder that Feng and Liu are both business partners and good personal friends.

Faced with Feng Xiaogang's recommendation, Jiang Peian smiled and said nothing.

Liu Zhenyun's novels are good, but their styles are different, and it is difficult for Liu Zhenyun to give him much help in film and television.

He didn't refuse, it would be nice to get to know him.

The three of them were chatting, and Xu Fan walked over and said with a smile:
"The food is ready, wash your hands and eat."

"Alright leader."

The little steel cannon stood up and saluted, looking quite funny.

Xu Fan pursed his lips, smiled, rolled his eyes at him, and walked to the kitchen with brisk steps.

No wonder the little steel cannon can capture the heart of the great beauty Xu Fan. After three or four years of marriage, how many men can achieve this "ritual sense" of life?
"This is the first time Director Jiang comes here. I can't figure out your taste, so I just made some home-cooked food. Don't be offended."

Xu Fan sat beside Feng Xiaogang and said with a smile.

"Haha, I'm not picky about food. My sister-in-law's cooking is pretty good. Director Feng is very lucky."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

Feng Xiaogang shook his head and said:
"Things like good taste are another matter. What matters is who cooked the food and who they ate with."

"Director Feng's words are of good quality. Come on, let me toast you."

Liu Zhenyun picked up the wine glass and said with a smile.

The three of them were eating and drinking at the wine table. Everyone was understanding. Since cooperation has not been concluded, it would be good to talk about feelings.

Xu Fan, a woman, acted as a lubricant in the middle, and after the meal, the few of them talked happily.

"Anzi, are you going to the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards in a few days?"

Feng Xiaogang asked suddenly.

Jiang Pei'an shook his head and said:
"I was invited last month, but I was too busy at the time so I declined."

"Pushed? If you do this, you will probably piss those old guys to death.

After all, everyone has been looking forward to it for so many years. Finally, a science fiction movie was released, and you actually pushed it. "

Feng Xiaogang shook his head, took a sip of wine and touched his mouth.

"They invited me again during this period, but I haven't responded to their message yet."

Jiang Peian continued.

"Cattle!"

Feng Xiaogang gave him a thumbs up and said:
"Let's go and take a look, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers award is pretty good.

You can have some say through them about what you want to do in the future. You can't just keep making movies for China Film, right? "

Hearing Feng Xiaogang's words, Jiang Peian's hand holding vegetables paused, then calmly picked up a peanut and said:

"It's nice to have a big tree at your back to enjoy the shade. My cooperation with China Film Group is pretty good."

"Come on, just lie to yourself, brother, my eyes are bright.

After "Inception" is released, you must make an independent film, which has nothing to do with China Film.

Since you have decided to go into commercial films, and you are talented and famous, to put it bluntly, why do you have to share the meat in the pot for charity? "

Feng Xiaogang said confidently, picking up a piece of braised pork from the pot, keeping the fat one for himself, and putting the lean meat into Xu Fan's bowl.

Seeing Jiang Peian looking at him, Feng Xiaogang grinned and said:

"Of course it's okay for my wife to eat my flesh. You and China Film Group are not a couple."

Hearing this, Jiang Pei'an smiled slightly.

Feng Xiaogang is right, he and China Film Group will separate sooner or later, and he had this idea before filming "Inception".

As the industry leader, it is indeed very convenient to cooperate with China Film in China.

It's just that this is compared to Jiang Peian, who had no foundation in the country in the early stage.

Now he has released two works in China, and the third one is about to be released.

The box office, reputation, and funds accumulated from these three movies are enough for him to start his own business.

Continuing to stay with China Film Group will only limit his future development and interests...

After dinner, several people drank tea again, and Xiaogangpao showed Jiang Peian the script of "Mobile Phone" that he and Liu Zhenyun had worked out.

Liu Zhenyun still has two skills. In this "Mobile Phone", the audience can see some profound things.

There are also many relatable feelings to be seen.

It is like a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it makes people's communication more convenient, but on the other hand, it also exposes people's ugly privacy.

It can be said that it basically predicted some phenomena of later generations...

After leaving Feng Xiaogang's home, Jiang Peian has been thinking about "breaking up" with China Film.

He didn't expect that Feng Xiaogang would actually see that he was about to leave China Film.

Xiaogangpao saw it, couldn't others?
Didn't the high-ranking Han Shanping see it?
It's just that no one said it.

Doesn’t Han Shanping want to stay in China Film Academy?

I definitely want to, but what is the reason, the development of Chinese movies?

This big hat has almost been taken off since "Source Code" exceeded [-] million.

When the two masterpieces "Hero" and "Inception" are released at the end of this year, Chinese movies will definitely usher in a wave of climax.

By then, this reason would not be able to keep Jiang Peian at all.

Besides, as long as Jiang Pei'an is still making films in China, he is Han Shanping's person, and it has nothing to do with whether he is in China Film Group or not.

Of course, these things will have to wait until "Inception" is released.

He has all the people ready-made, and the company also has them. As for partners, as long as Jiang Peian raises his voice, countless capitals from home and abroad will flock to them.

However, Jiang Peian has no plans to accept gifts from capital for the time being. After all, these are all priced secretly.

Not without money.

……

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Peian's cell phone rang, it was a message from Gao Yuanyuan.

"You're at home, how are you doing there?"

Jiang Pei'an quickly replied.

"Fortunately, the crew has been catching up recently and has been filming. We just returned to where we live."

Seeing Gao Yuanyuan's text message, Jiang Pei'an looked at the time. It was already eleven o'clock at night.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll go visit your crew in two days."

Jiang Pei'an replied.

"That's fine. Director Jiang Pei'an is visiting Ban An, and the media will report it in a big way when they find out."

Although it was a text message, Jiang Pei'an seemed to see Gao Yuanyuan's favored smile.

There is sweetness in every word.

Realizing this, Jiang Peian was a little cautious.

With Da Meiyuan's temperament, sooner or later she will be unable to hold back and announce this love affair to the world.

The reason why she didn't announce it before was because she was thinking about Jiang Pei'an. After all, her career was on the rise.

Now that his career has reached a certain level, Jiang Peian is about to become independent from China Film Academy.

What will Dameiyuan do then?
This is a ticking time bomb!

"No, you need to apply more layers of patches. Love brain is really scary..."

Jiang Peian thought secretly.
