The origin of this nickname is recorded in detail in Jia Xiang.
He wandered around a shop selling pirated DVDs in Xiaoxitian, and climbed on a cardboard box for a long time without any gains. When the boss saw his insistence, he responded. Just as Jia was about to leave, the boss suddenly remembered something. At the moment when a hand has reached out to push the door, I suddenly said to him: Do you want a "platform" for a "fake section chief"?
Jia hesitated for a moment and asked, What? The boss repeated his words again, and Jia pretended to be indifferent and asked, where is it? The boss said: arrive tomorrow.
The boss pronounced Jia's name as a fake section chief, and finally he became a section chief. This experience shows that no one watched Jia's early films, but after a lot of hardships, he is now a well-known first-line director, very famous.
Extended data
Jia, 1970, was born in Fenyang City, Shanxi Province on May 24th. He is a director, screenwriter and producer in China and graduated from the Literature Department of Beijing Film Academy.
Some fans said that elements in Jia's previous works can also be seen in "Children of the Rivers and Lakes", and that Jia is narcissistic.
In this regard, Jia said that it is not narcissism for a director to be loyal to his emotional world and to the people and things he is interested in. "Only by being loyal to yourself and describing the talents is the most valuable part of the film, can we arouse our true feelings.
From this point of view, I think almost all directors in film history are loyal to themselves, like Yasujirō Ozu, who has been filming his family; The novelist Faulkner has also been writing about his town. There are always some people who can't forget, leaving many people and things behind. I may belong to this kind of person, and I can't live without the person I like. So from this perspective, this is the real Jia, not the so-called narcissistic Jia. "
