I'm the director, I'm not bad

6 month 25 number.

Early in the morning, after Xu Xin opened his eyes, he turned on his phone immediately.The mobile phone named "IPHONE" is very powerful.

truth.

Just like a small laptop, you can log in to the webpage on the computer, and you can zoom in and out freely
It may be awkward to use at first, but after getting used to it, it is true that he is not used to using ordinary mobile phones.

Turning on the phone, he came to its dedicated Safari browser, and the browser still stayed on the screen he browsed last night.

Sina's entertainment sector.

After refreshing, a message came into view:
"Transformers 2's first-day box office broke another record! 370 million!" "Tsk."

A smacking movement that was different from the usual morning, made Yang Mi, who was lying on her side, also open her eyes, "What's the matter?"

Because of fetal pressure, the big star who has recently started to sleep in a half-lying position opened his eyes and asked suspiciously. "Woke up?"

Xu Xin quickly put down the phone, helped her to sit up, and then passed the phone over.Yang Mi rubbed her eyes while looking at the back.
"Isn't this obvious? I feel uncomfortable?" I said one thing, do you believe it? "

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Yang Mi understood what he meant: "Is that very uncomfortable?"

"Not at all. After all, the results of "The Wind" are quite good." The words in his mouth were a little insincere.

But I didn't lie either.

Twelve days after its release, the box office of "The Wind" has passed the threshold of 2.2 million.

Compared with the previous "Secret", which only received a total of 1.91 million box office when it was released, his "The Wind" has achieved a milestone achievement that surpassed the previous one.

But people are such a stinky problem.

When walking, you think that a bicycle is all you need.I have a bicycle, and I want an electric car.

When riding an electric car, it is found that it has to be charged, which is not as convenient as a motorcycle.

But I had a motorcycle, and found that it was not sheltered from the wind and rain.Especially the most annoying thing is that you have to wipe the goggles of the helmet with your hands from time to time, otherwise you will not be able to see clearly, which is very troublesome.

So you want to buy a car.

Buy a BYD FO at the beginning, and then you just want to have a spacious car.I have a car, and I think the SUV has a good view.

With the SUV, the pursuit of the brand began again.
This is almost an endless cycle of self-dissatisfied consumption.So did he.

"Secret" didn't break [-] million, but he wanted to break [-] million.Breaking through [-] million, and wanting to be the first in history in the first week.

As a result, the first week was the first in history, and the box office also surpassed the previous work. After submitting a satisfactory answer sheet, although I knew that I should not be too inflated.

But in his mind, he has already set his goal to surpass "Transformers", or to surpass the positioning of Hollywood.

Crazy to the point of not talking.

When he saw "Transformers 2", which he knew he couldn't beat from the beginning, took more than 3000 million box office on the first day, he began to feel unhappy again.
So thinking of this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly while boasting that his child had "good grades":
"But I still feel dissatisfied. Although I also know that if I don't mention anything else, they will beat us by a few streets for just one production cost.
"Okay~"

Yang Mi pinched his nose with a smile:
"It's such a big emotion to wake up in the morning. Don't you have to eat one bite at a time. Apart from anything else, Michael Bay's second work is not very good, is it? What's more, a group of people say that he is just a blaster. Give me a hand."

"Um"

Xu Xin responded and helped her get out of bed.

The place where the two live now is called Qujiang Royal Garden, which is next to the Tang Furong Garden in the 5A scenic spot in Xi'an.

There is a road.

And it is one kilometer away from Xiying Studio in a straight line.Xu Daqiang is

There are two properties here.

One set is for two people to live in, and the other set was originally prepared by Xu Miao and Zhang Qianqian, but now it is requisitioned by those bachelors.

Recently, everyone has been busy with "The Voice" in Xi'an. After all, staying in a hotel is more convenient than at home.So he took out the house and let everyone live in it.

The villa is huge.But very empty.

This further strengthened his determination to buy as few villas as possible in the future.

This kind of house, if there is no family of six or seven, walking every night will bring an echo, which is quite infiltrating.

But it is very convenient, there is an indoor elevator, so Yang Mi doesn't have to worry about going up and down the stairs when traveling.

Today's sister's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and even when she is working and walking during the day, she still needs to use a shoulder strap to support her belly to facilitate her mobility.

But this is the case, the exercise of more than 1 kilometer walking to the Xiying Studio every morning has never been missed.The purpose is to give birth smoothly, exercise physical strength, and prevent scars on the stomach.

After the couple finished their personal hygiene and got dressed, Sun Ting, who lived on the second and first floors, and the nutrition team had already made breakfast and work arrangements.

Her breakfast should be based on nutritional balance as much as possible.But the problem is that Xu Xin is not used to it.

Back in Great Shaanxi, there are too many delicious foods in the morning.So he usually goes to Xiying Studio to solve the problem.

Yang Mi was eating breakfast, and he was beside her helping her with some things.

They are all trivial matters. The company is currently in its infancy, including Zeng Jia in Yanjing, who is in the stage of expanding business and training employees. There are no big things, but there are many small things.

Little bits and pieces are enough to keep us busy for a while.It's also really expensive.

"The Voice" alone has spent close to 1000 million in the past few months, from office space, to video equipment, and personnel expenses.

However, this money is also a one-time investment and can be recycled.Then there are the fees for the other three judges.

Huang Hae-chung is 150 million for one season.Han Hong is 200 million.Dolan is 170 million.One sign per season.

After a bunch of things have been dealt with, the current progress of "The Voice" is only short of the difficulty of the host.Seeing this, Xu Xin called Zhang Wu again:
"Doo. Hey, Xiao Xu, I was just about to call you." Hearing Zhang Wu's movement, Xu Xin quickly asked:
"Director Zhang, does the host have an idea?" "Haha, that's right."

Zhang Wu's words made Yang Mi stop eating and raised her head. "Who is it?"

"Sa Beining, the host of today's statement column, have you watched this program?" "Uh"

Xu Xin responded subconsciously.

And Zhang Jiao, who was next to her, had already picked up her laptop and started typing and searching. "Is he from CCTV?"

Xu Xin said while looking at the computer that Zhang Jiao pushed over.The image of a young man with an inch cut came into view.

This person, he has seen.

Not only on "Today's Statement", it seems that I have seen it in the Spring Festival Gala last year or the year before last.

And it looks good.

He pushed the notebook to Yang Mi's again.

"That's right, he's a very promising host for the younger generation of CCTV. The young man has solid hosting skills, a top student at Peking University, and a law school background."

".Would that be too decent? Director Zhang, my talent show is an entertainment program." "Haha~"

Hearing his worry, Zhang Wu laughed out loud:
"I was also worried when they recommended it to me at the beginning. But after watching the party of "Happy Heaven" and getting to know him privately, they all praised this kid as a good one. I asked someone to ask about it I don’t have any comments, he himself thinks it’s very interesting. And I also told him about the program process. He had been worried about being too entertaining before, but after listening to this blind mode, he felt that this kind of program that pursues the music itself is very good Yes, plus he is talking about today, so he is very interested. I also think it is appropriate, or let him go to Xi'an, you guys have a touch and see."

Hearing this, Xu Xin took a look at Yang Mi and said, "Okay, then you can put him in

Contact me? "

"Okay." Zhang Wu agreed happily.

"Then I'll just ask him to contact you... By the way, Xiao Xu, after October, we have to go to Shanghai." "Where is it going to start?"

"Yes." "Well, good."

"Tell Mimi that this time is different from the Olympics. I won't go for a long time. I go two or three times a month, and stay for two or three days at a time. It will definitely not delay her and the children~"

"Hahaha~ no problem no problem~"

Xu Xin smiled and exchanged a few words with him before hanging up the phone.Asked Yang Mi:

"what do you think?"

"Director Zhang is so confident, it means that this person must be fine. But we still have to see when you plan to leave?"

"Well"

Xu Xin looked at the date on the phone.He is going to Zhangye.

The filming location of "Three Shots" is over there.

In early June, the filming phase has already begun.There is no other reason.

The main reason is that I haven't met Zhang Daozhao since years ago.

Although Gansu is a bit far away, the filming of "The Wind" is now over. As a student, you have to hand in your homework, right?
So I decided to go there and have a look.

Moreover, Director Zhang's daughter Zhang Mo also came back from abroad this time.how to say
Director Zhang has always done a good job in protecting his family.And Zhang Mo is the child born to him and his ex-wife.

He went abroad at the age of 16 and studied architecture at Columbia University.However, Li An, the director of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", arranged to enter New York University to study as a choreographer and director.After obtaining a postgraduate degree, he returned home.

And "Three Shots" was the first movie she came into contact with.Acting as an assistant director in it.

That's the director's assistant.

It means that the son inherits the father's career.

And Director Zhang is also willing to let his daughter learn from him.Or to say that the hearts of parents in the world are pitiful.

On the one hand, Zhang Yimou hopes that his daughter can learn more by following him.But on the other hand, I was afraid that if I came up, I would praise my daughter too high.
Floating up.I was also heartbroken.

Zhang Yimou called Xu Xin that day to ask about the box office of "The Wind", and he also mentioned Zhang Mo's matter.

He didn't say what to ask Xu Xin to teach or what.

It was purely because Xu Xin asked: "How is your movie going?" Zhang Yimou said very vaguely, "It's being filmed. This time Zhang Mo has also returned to China, so I will take it with me."

But Xu Xin thought about it later, and he had to go there because of emotion and reason.Zhang Mo is older than him, in 84.

You have to call "Sister".

Director Zhang is his guide. This time when she comes back, I must go to get to know her.secondly
Although he didn't expand enough to feel that he is a great director, he can take over Zhang Yimou's crew or whatever.
But the job of an assistant director is really not easy.

A good director, if he meets a good assistant director, it will really be smooth sailing.Such as Li Haiping.

But if Zhang Mo has no experience
He didn't dare to say how much he could help in the past, after all, there might be more than one assistant director in the crew.But throw the old man himself in the northwest to eat sand
He is also reluctant.

The Olympic Games will serve as the chief manager of the old man's family.

Wouldn't it be okay for you to be a scene manager and do odd jobs in the movie, and stay for a few days?

Anyway, all the renovations on "The Voice" have been done, and the process has been carefully considered.Before the blind selection started, he could stay for three or four days.

But now that the matter of Sa Beining happened. Seeing his hesitation, Yang Mi said:

"How about leaving today, isn't there an airport over there?"

"...Yes, go to JYG, and then take a car to Zhangye, which is only 200 kilometers away." As he said, Xu Xin thought for a while:

"Then I'll leave today? Book a ticket now, and then I'll come back when Sa Beining comes?" "That's okay."

Yang Mi responded:
"Then pack up and go. Although
It's a bit rushed, but you don't have to rush back.There are other people here, and Jin Guangcheng is not an inexperienced director. I saw that Sa Beining was also very kind. Even director Zhang said he could do it, so it should be no problem. Jiaojiao, go pack your things and book tickets.You go today. "

"Okay, sister." Zhang Jiao responded:
"Brother Xu, shall I book tickets then?"

"Well, remember to wear long sleeves, there is a big temperature difference between day and night." "Yeah!"

Just go.

Xu Xin didn't even tell Zhang Yimou that he planned to surprise the old man when he got there.So, the two sides split up.

After Zhang Jiao packed the two suitcases, Cheng Hu sent Xu Xin and Zhang Jiao to the airport.The airport in Xi'an is not as good as that in Yanjing, and the frenzy of reporters can be seen everywhere.

What's more. Reporters are not stupid.

Getting a list of passengers going from Xi'an to Yanjing, for example, is not a skill.But you have to ask the passenger list for this trip to Jiuquan JYG Airport..
Where is Jiuquan?What are you going to do?

Maybe he was caught as a walking 50.

Therefore, even if Xu Xin and Zhang Jiao go out like this, the handsome men and women are very eye-catching.But even those with masks and sunglasses. Those who should not be recognized are still not recognized.

But when he arrived at Jiuquan at noon and was about to get off the plane, he was still asked for a few group photos by the flight attendant.

Stewardess.Nothing else.

It's that gray *** that's so pretty
But after thinking about it carefully, my sister said that if you wear pants and leather shoes at work, your feet will almost smell like pickled cabbage after a day.

Gradually, he couldn't look directly at these stewardesses.It's better than my own sister.

Even if I haven't touched my sister for a few months, I haven't seen my sister wearing a bra for a few months. That's my sister's good.

At least she's tasteless, isn't she?
At the airport exit, Zhang Jiao jogged all the way to go through the formalities of renting a car.

In the past two years, car rental in Shenzhou has been blooming, and it can be seen in airports of all sizes.

It is also really convenient.

There is no need to arrange a pick-up, and there is no need to ask a friend to get a car. When you come back, you have to fill up the gas and wash the car.

Arrange directly on a solid and reliable Land Cruiser with off-road performance.

Xu Xin, who hadn't driven on the Loess Plateau for a long time, drove to Zhangye, more than 200 kilometers away.Xu Xin was driving, and Zhang Jiao was sitting in the passenger seat, reading the book "Actor's Self-cultivation".

Don't look at this book has become a meme on the Internet, along with Master Xing's "The King of Comedy" has fermented into a synonym for culture.

In terms of professionalism, there is nothing wrong with actors reading this book.On the Gansu side, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the road of more than 200 kilometers is a vast expanse.

The magic of the Danxia landform is something new to Xu Xin, let alone Zhang Jiao, who is from the Northeast.Meals are settled in the service area.

After one o'clock in the afternoon, he finally arrived in Zhangye.But that doesn't mean it's over.

Director Zhang took the photo at the Danxia Landform Scenic Spot between Zhangye and Sunan County.He asked this before.

The navigation was adjusted to go to Sunan County, and the Zhangsu Highway was still taken.In particular, he explained:
"Be careful, remind me when you see the sign of "Danxia Scenic Area"." "Well, okay."

Zhang Jiao responded, and took back the books she had read all the way.

Then, we drove for about [-] kilometers on this highway where Danxia landforms can be seen everywhere. Zhang Jiao pointed to the front:
"Then, Brother Xu, the sign of the scenic spot." She saw it, and Xu Xin saw it too.

So the car turned straight in.

The tourism development here is still at a relatively backward stage so far.

Although the story of Zhang Yimou in this movie has spread, the "Danxia Landform" is still quite unfamiliar to everyone.

As for the locals in Zhangye, they have grown up watching these things since they were young.This is the same reason that Xi'an people don't understand what's so good about the rotten Big Wild Goose Pagoda.One side of water and soil supports one side of people.

Therefore, even if it is a scenic spot, there are really not many people.At this time, Zhang Jiao asked:
"Brother Xu, why don't we call Director Zhang?" "No. Look ahead"

He pointed forward.

Zhang Jiao narrowed her eyes and looked at the pickup truck in front of her.

There are one black box after another on the car, as well as a section of long things. "That's the rocker?"

"Ah."

Xu Xin responded and slowed down the car.

While pulling away to avoid the dust flying behind the pickup, he lowered the window.After lighting a cigarette, he smiled and said:

"If someone leads the way, let's give him a surprise attack!" "What if it's not."

"Aren't you afraid? Turn back and call Director Zhang to pick us up. Have you seen the starry sky on the Loess Plateau at night?"

"Uh"

Seeing her reaction, Xu Xin knew she hadn't seen it. "You can take a look at it at night, it's very beautiful."

The car followed.

Finally, in the vast Danxia landform, Xu Xin and Zhang Jiao saw a row of RVs parked by the roadside.and a crowd of people busy next to a building.

There are many people.Let alone more than 100 numbers.

The ecological environment of the Danxia landform is actually very fragile. It is said that if a footprint is stepped on, it will be difficult to recover for tens of thousands of years.However, there are some things in this world that require trade-offs.

It's not set in stone.

Before Zhang Yimou came, "Danxia Landform" was unfamiliar to many people.

Maybe the people here in Zhangye didn't even think that the big dirt lumps they saw when they were young could be regarded as a scenic spot.

But after the Olympic Games, the National Division's first film plan began to enter the preparations.

In anticipation, the words Zhangye and Danxia landform immediately caught the attention of many people.Instantly became famous.

This kind of choice, in fact, anyone can make, not to mention, Zhang Yimou also gave enough respect, the chosen shooting location is the most marginal piece of Danxia landform.

Some directors want to make movies, for example, if they want to come to Zhangye to shoot, then they may contact the leaders of Zhangye first.

Mutual benefit.

We are filming with you, which belongs to promoting you.

So usually in this case, whether it is the scenic spot or ZF in Zhangye, they have to pay for sponsorship.Some even have to beg their grandpa to sue their grandma, and invite some celebrity mentors to promote it.

But Zhang Yimou didn't need it.

I come to shoot with you, and I don’t need any money from you.Just a little.

You help me keep it secret, don't let tourists or people disturb me.

And when the shooting is over, the set I built here will be used as a scenic spot for you, just like the Tianguan Post Station left over from Wulong.

In addition, we will also give you some behind-the-scenes footage of the filming for free use and publicity.

Therefore, in order to ensure the progress of the filming, Zhangye sent security personnel to guard the work.Xu Xin's car, which belonged to Jiuquan to take pictures, was stopped before he entered the set.

The two security guards, who knew that they hadn't been exposed to the sun recently, and their skin was all purple, stopped the car. After Xu Xin dropped the window, he asked directly:

"Who are you looking for? Why?"

Perhaps it was because Xu Xin was wearing sunglasses. Maybe he took off his sunglasses and people didn't recognize him.He's not a movie star...
Xu Xin nodded politely:

"I'll come to the crew to find someone, and I'll make a call first."

As he said that, he didn't call Zhang Yimou directly, after all, it wouldn't be appropriate if he was filming over there. "Duddu. Haha, Director Xu hasn't contacted me for a long time."

Listening to Assistant Shen's voice on the other end of the phone, Xu Xin was delighted:
"Hahaha, brother Shen, guess where I am now?"

After parking the car casually in an open space, Xu Xin and Zhang Jiao got out of the car. "Brother Xu, here you are."

Zhang Jiao quickly handed over the sunscreen. "Need not."

Just kidding, how can a child who grew up in this environment need sun protection?If it weren't for the glare of the sun, he wouldn't even bother to wear sunglasses.

The time Zhang Jiao put sunscreen on her neck, Xu Xin had already gone downhill.

The road here is already
After preparations, it is estimated that after the crew finishes filming, it will be used as a viewing platform in the future.

Because it is a high place.

Xu Xin glanced at all the Danxia landforms including the shooting location in the distance, and nodded slightly: "Yeah."

Really nice.

There is nothing wrong with the selection of this scene.

I just don't know what the film will look like.

Then he took Zhang Jiao along the opened road to the shooting area that looked like a building in the distance.

"It's really beautiful."

Hearing Zhang Jiao's words, Xu Xin responded:
"That's right. It looks better at night, do you have a camera?" "In the car."

"Go and get it. Take a few photos and keep them, maybe we will use them later." "Okay, I'll get them."

Zhang Jiao turned around and trotted away.

And Xu Xin finally saw Assistant Shen with an outdoor sun hat on his head. Farewell to "Golden Armor", he seems to have gotten a little fatter.

The face is a little round.

"Hahahaha, Director Xu!" When they met, they burst out laughing.Holding Xu Xin's hand:

"Long time no see! Long time no see! Why don't you say hello in advance when you come here, so I can pick it up."

"Brother Shen."

Xu Xin said hello, and the two of them walked towards the post station after polite greetings. "Where's Director Zhang?"

"I was filming in the inn. When I knew you were here, I even cursed, saying that you brat likes to make surprise attacks."

"Hahahaha~"

Xu Xin couldn't help laughing.Then asked:

"How was the shooting? Is the progress fast?" "Uh"

Who knows it's okay if he doesn't ask.

As soon as he asked, Assistant Shen's expression changed. .what's wrong? "

Xu Xin was a little puzzled.

After hearing this, if it was someone else, Assistant Shen would definitely not have said it.After all, it can be regarded as "family ugly".But Director Xu is one of his own.

"The atmosphere of the crew is quite bad." ".?"

Xu Xin was taken aback.

Immediately after the first reaction is impossible.Who dares to contradict Director Zhang here?
crazy?

But the problem is that Assistant Shen is not someone who talks nonsense.He said no, then there might be something wrong, so he asked: "No? I called Director Zhang a few days ago
He paused for a moment, then shook his head helplessly. "This old man"

And he didn't leave, and took out a cigarette from his pocket.One for two.

After Xu Xin ignited it for him, his voice lowered: "What's wrong?"

".Ugh."

Assistant Shen sighed again:
"Two things. One is the heroine. The other is the relationship between Shen Xiaoyang and Sun Honglei." "What happened to the heroine?"

"No way."

Is Yan Ni not good at acting? "Xu Xin was taken aback.

Who knew that Assistant Shen waved his hand:
"It's not her, she's useless. It's changed to Wang Xiaohua." Now Xu Xin was really speechless.

"No, I remember when I was preparing for it years ago, didn't I say it all? Yan Ni will be the heroine. People also said that a "Wulin Biography" produced a couple girls."

"It's changed. It's Wang Xiaohua."

"Who is this person? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Zhao Benshan's apprentice. Director Zhang really wanted to choose Yan Ni, but this Wang Xiaohua is..." Speaking of this, Assistant Shen paused again.

Then he said:
"It was recommended by Zhang Weiping. After all, most of the people in this play are members of Zhao's class. Shen Xiaoyang is so popular this year."

Xu Xin frowned.Because he smelled a familiar smell.no
Come again?

"Director Zhang didn't object?"

"At first I objected, but later I went to Liedongbei and saw her performance and thought it was okay.

Nihe didn't need Yan Ni, and the salary of Zhao's class was several million. I won't talk about the things here, but you should understand Director Xu.but now"

"Wang Xiaohua can't handle it?"

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Assistant Shen took a puff of cigarette irritably;
"I can't handle it at all. She still uses Erren Zhuan's acting method. Now Director Zhang has to postpone her scene for a while, so that she can grasp the role well."

"Xu Xin was speechless.After thinking about it, he asked:

"Then Sun Honglei and Shen Xiaoyang are...?"

"The two had a little conflict, but now no one cares about the other." Xu Xin was dumbfounded in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, his brows furrowed completely.How did it happen?

old man
Why not?
