Chapter 111

  “……”

  He involuntarily turned his head to look at Jiang Chuan.

  The latter looked back at him with an expressionless face.

  Then he suddenly felt that either he had learned to read minds or Jiang Chuan's eyes could really talk, for example, the man was now silently and menacingly warning him: this is what I mean by "be honest".

  It seems that during the previous period in H city, Jian Ran and Xi De's good interaction made Jiang Chuan resentful for a long time - Jian Ran winked at Jiang Chuan, implying: Are you jealous?

  The latter walked over to his side, paused for a moment under his feet, glanced at him with slightly narrowed eyes, and then turned around to pull out the chair next to him and sat down. Jin Yan smiled and walked over, sitting down beside him - at this time, there was still one more seat next to Jin Yan, which was the position of the male fourth who played a supporting role, and when he arrived, it would be considered that everyone had arrived.

  Jin Yan knew that he didn't have the right to speak as a small actor in this gathering, so after sitting down, he honestly lowered his head and stared at his fingers. Meanwhile, Xi De continued playing games on one side, quietly moving his butt closer to Jin Yan from across a chair's distance. Jin Yan felt a change in Jiang Chuan's aura on the other side, turned his head to look at Xi De, but found that he was still intently playing games with an innocent expression as if nothing had happened - when he sensed Jin Yan looking over, he even innocently raised his head and looked at him, asking: "What's wrong?"

  Nothing much.

  My future daughter-in-law just kicked over a vinegar jar.

  Gazing at Shido who couldn't get an answer and lowered his head to continue playing games, he suddenly thought of something.

  A red-hot idol from North Korea plus a talented young actor, a mafia family's young master, and a young singer known as the "Heavenly Voice", three weirdos are pulled together to star in a Hollywood fantasy adventure film... No matter how you think about it, the cast seems more magical than the movie script itself.

  Even if Mandrake is wearing a horse jacket, he can't mess around like this.

  At this point, Jian Yan was a bit stunned and silently thought that after the movie was shot, it would not be given a super low score of 3 or 4 points on the film review website and be ruthlessly labeled as "copying Pirates of the Caribbean". When he heard director Peter say in his ear: "The positioning of this film is to finally become a representative nautical themed film like Pirates of the Caribbean."

  "Thus:"

  I had a deep and solemn feeling that something was wrong.

  Judging from the silent atmosphere around him at the moment, it seems that he is not the only one who feels something is off.

  What is the existence of Pirates of the Caribbean? When it comes to maritime-themed movies, people almost reflexively think of this series; when it comes to pirates, who doesn't immediately conjure up the image of Captain Jack with his dark eye makeup, walking with a swagger and holding a flower-patterned handkerchief, yet being very masculine? This deeply ingrained concept is hard to change. If you start out trying to surpass the classic in this direction, it's actually quite difficult and easy to be ridiculed for drawing a tiger that ends up looking like a dog.

  Originally, I thought they would take a different approach and stand firm on the other end of the navigation film, but unexpectedly, director Peter plunged into a dead end as soon as he came up - I think it has something to do with being too young and frivolous. Director Paul Peter is well-known, he is simply another Jiang Chuan in the world.

  To put it simply, life has been hacked.

  As a rich second-generation young master, he makes no secret of his family's wealth, but unlike other rich second-generations, this guy is a total academic overachiever from head to toe, graduating with excellent grades from high school, receiving countless invitations from universities, and finally going to Hanssen Art Academy in Germany.

  Seven years ago, Peter, who was just 23 years old at the time, graduated from graduate school and received a large investment to shoot his first big-screen work "Epic of Spirits", which combined the most popular large-scale fantasy films with classic historical works in cinemas, and finally made a film that was both stylish and watchable. In the second year, this film won several international awards, making Peter an overnight sensation in the directing world.

  Three years after graduation, Peter directed another film "Pride and Cold Plum", which tells the love story of a German male officer and an orphan girl during World War II. The film perfectly interprets the famous poem by British poet Siegfried Sassoon: "Heart has fierce tigers, delicate as rose". The tragic ending of the movie successfully fooled countless tears from global audiences, awakening many girls' impression of the male lead General Felt's image, which still lingers in people's hearts five years later. Occasionally, some stills from the film are posted on domestic and foreign portal websites, being forwarded and sighed as a male god.

  The male lead Kris Diefenbach also directly became the Wu Yanzu and Wang Xiaolong combined body in the hearts of the old foreigners, with thousands of girls leaving messages on FB every day: husband,.

  After that, director Peter was in a smooth sailing situation, with one film being more popular than the other. Following his trend of winning the Global Film Award last year, this year, with this maritime film, he should be heading straight for the Oscars.

  But dreams are rich.

  Reality is so harsh.

  That's Oscar-worthy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  He's a Caribbean pirate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  I'm a huge fan of Johnny Depp myself!!!!!!!!! Is that okay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  What a joke.

  At this time, Jian Ran only felt extremely weak, and he looked up at Fang Yu sitting opposite him, using his eyes to indicate: I think I'm going to act in another bad movie again.

  You speak as if you've never acted in a bad movie when you first started out.

  Jian Ran: "......"

  Fang Yu: "......"

  At this time, Peter was still using a very firm tone and gaze to hypnotize the silent audience: "Don't think that in front of us is an insurmountable mountain. All the records that seem impossible in the world are there for future generations to surpass. So far, no film has appeared that can rival the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' series in terms of nautical themes - let's fill this gap."

  He thought that if Peter didn't want to make movies one day, he could consider going to sell Amway.

  "Whether it's financially, or the director himself, or the filming crew and the film company, we are not inferior to them unless you don't trust me," said Director Peter. "Either don't do it, or do it to the best - if you don't trust me, you can change to another director that you think is safe."

  He said as he raised his hands, expressionless: "I need you to guarantee full cooperation, otherwise I'm out."

  As soon as this was said, it shocked everyone present.

  Everyone in the scene, including Jian Ran, slightly widened their eyes, thinking that there was a problem with their ears. They didn't dare to think about what would happen if Peter quit, and where they would find another director. Not all excellent directors can schedule a time slot, and directors are not like actors who can work on two crews at the same time. Now that Peter wants to drop out, the film originally scheduled for release in summer 2016 may be postponed to New Year's Day in 2017...

  As expected of a young master, he's being very arrogant and domineering, openly threatening various cooperative partners including the higher-ups at Claire Corporation.

  Silently watching a bunch of foreigners around with a vegetable-like expression.

  Jinran knew that although Mandro was not there, he must be lurking in some corner to eavesdrop on this meeting; Jinran also believed that at this moment, Mandro had already jumped up from his chair and was looking for a rope - but it was unclear whether he was preparing to hang himself or rush in to strangle the arrogant young director.

  Only Jiang Chuan seemed particularly calm, as the male lead and investor, he was now lazily propping up his chin with one hand, with his legs crossed, a hint of a smile on his face: "Threatening people like this doesn't make much sense, Peter, you know we're not indispensable to you."

  The tone of his speech sounds like he is familiar with this director.

  At this time, Peter heard Jiang Chuan speaking and slightly restrained the arrogance on his face. He turned his head to glance at Jiang Chuan and said indifferently: "Shut up, Leide, even if you have money, I can still fire you from the crew with a gun pointed at my head."

  Jiang Chuan laughed even more clearly, looking like he didn't think what Peter said was a big deal at all.

  However, the atmosphere on the scene became slightly better because of his sudden interruption.

  Suddenly felt that this table edge really sat a table of freaks.

  "I also think it's not that we can't surpass," Jiang Chuan said slowly, "after all, setting a goal a bit further away will help everyone improve."

  "What's the goal set far away, I haven't prepared a space for you to relax, said to surpass is to surpass - even if can't surpass also want to keep pace."

  Peter stood up with a dark face, opened the notebook computer in front of him, and quickly pulled out several pictures from it. At the same time, his assistant, who was assisting him on the side, quickly opened the projector at the front of the conference hall. When the entire conference hall dimmed, people could easily see that several groups of data pictures appeared on the projector screen, which were basically buildings, humanities, and clothing styles of Europeans in the second half of the 15th century. When Peter pressed the remote control in his hand and quickly scrolled through them, finally stopping at a picture with very strange clothing, he stopped.

  The young man in the picture is wearing a dirty headscarf on his head, with colored threads tied around it, and only faintly visible is a family crest - this thing was originally an identification mark during the Crusades, later passed down to the folk and widely used by various noble families, and it's clear that the young man's family is one of them; he wears a cuirass and tight-fitting outerwear with high collars; his lower body is clad in tight leather shorts, and on his feet are a pair of leather boots - if such attire is still within an acceptable range, then the pair of colored knee-high silk stockings on his feet makes me feel suffocated: I didn't know that non-mainstream had such a long history, truly not to be underestimated, disrespectful.

  Also don't know who is so unlucky to have to ——

  Peter: "This is Lando's basic character setting."

  "What?"

  Peter: "According to the script, at first, Lando was just a weird little punk, and colored knee-high socks were the standard attire for young hoodlums back then."

  He turned his head to look at Jiang Chuan with a blank expression, Jiang Chuan hooked up the corner of his lips emotionlessly, his eyes flashing as he stared at the large screen not far away, which had already switched to another person's setup.

  In the picture, an old European nobleman wears a high-collared white shirt with a flower-shaped collar that perfectly sets off his slender neck. A velvet tailcoat with gold trim has a low collar and buttons made of precious stones and gold chains. On his feet are simple solid-colored trousers and heavy long boots. Standing like this, such attire easily accentuates the male's broad shoulders, sturdy waistline, and pair of long legs.

  The person in the picture has red long hair, with a natural waist-length fall, the standard hairstyle of a fifteenth-century noble or knightly adult male, handsome, slender and clean.

  Peter: "Deputy Director Raymond."

  He turned around and stared at the man beside him: "You secretly gave the crew money, right? - This photo and the previous one, are they living in the same world?"

  Jiang Chuan lazily glanced at him: "The script is played like this, don't be dissatisfied."

  Jian Ran was silent, at this time Xi De leaned over and lightly bumped shoulders with Jian Ran: "I think the one you wore earlier looked better."

  Jian Ran: "...... You don't have to comfort me like this..."

  "Really," Shade said tersely in the darkness, "you look good in anything."

  Jian Ran: "......"

  In this perfect and touching kissing atmosphere, Jian Ran suddenly heard the man behind him say coldly.

  "It looks better without clothes, unfortunately you haven't seen it."
