I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 319 317. A Grandmaster (33) Thanks to the leader of "Lucky Knight"! !
7 month 12 number.

"The Wind" is released.

The total box office is 3.31 billion.

With a total investment of 4500 million yuan, it won a box office of 3.3 million yuan.

The net profit exceeded 1.2 million.

For Xiying Film Studio, it ushered in a "good start" in 2009!
It also provided a standard template for all the following gift films.

With this movie, Xiying Studio became famous and announced on the day "The Wind" was released that the TV series "Legend of the Wind" also based on the novel "The Wind" with the same name has entered the preparatory stage, and the series will be more detailed. The story is presented to the audience completely and completely.

As soon as he said that, many actors who had already felt the vitality of this old film studio were moved by the wind and quickly gathered towards the West Film Studio.

Everyone in the factory was even in a trance.

In a trance, it seems to have returned to the glory days of the past.

The cumulative box office of the two works has exceeded [-] million, and director Xu Xin, who has an astonishingly high return ratio, has also become the target of some investors.

Unfortunately……

Although I entrusted my relationship to inquire, I got Xu Xin's phone number.

But the assistant named Zhang Jiao always answered the same sentence:

"Before the child was born, Director Xu had no plans to prepare a new movie."

Think about it...

Yang Mi seems to be giving birth soon.

Although I haven't seen much news about her recently, she lives in seclusion.

But indeed, it should be about to give birth.

That person didn't do anything, so it was normal.

The child is about to be born, and it would be irresponsible to start working on a new job without stopping.

……

Yanjing, Shijia Hutong.

"Let's forget about milk powder. This thing...I always feel a little suspenseful..."

Putting aside a quotation contract for baby milk powder, Yang Mi looked at the only two endorsement quotations left on the table.

First picked up a copy:
"Mengniu...Yili...Brother, which one do you think we should choose?"

Sitting in front of the tea table, he was fiddling with a new purple clay tea set. After hearing this, Xu Xin thought for a while:
"Which do you like to drink?"

"I would like to drink Yili. I have feelings for Yili. I think the most delicious ice cream is Yili four circles..."

"Isn't Mengniu delicious?"

"It's not tasty, it tastes rattling."

"Well...then choose Yili. How much does Yili pay?"

"Mengniu gave 2000 million in 800, and Yili gave [-] million, both of which are two-year contracts. But Yili has two plans. I am [-], plus you can give [-]."

"...Am I worth 700 million?"

Xu Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry:

"Why am I so cheap?"

While complaining to himself, he thought for a while and said:
"What do you think?"

"I want to choose Mengniu. Because Mengniu can also talk about the endorsement of ice cream. Although their ice cream series is not as large as that of Yili, but the price is good. And their various fruity milk seems to have something to talk about... I want to give Yifei gets an advertising spokesperson."

"Okay, then Mengniu."

"Ok!"

Yang Mi responded, and threw Yili's quotation into those advertising contracts that refused to endorse, and at the same time said to Zeng Jia next to her:
"Sister Zeng, let's go to Mengniu. But I have to tell them that Liu Yifei wants the endorsement of Mengniu ice cream. If it's okay...we can both appear on the screen."

"okay, I get it."

Zeng Jia agreed, put away the contract, and asked again:

"Where is Yili? Yili is Zhang Shaohan now. But it's not impossible to talk about it. Let me get in touch and try?"

"Okay. Anyway, let's get in touch. You pay more attention to the commercial value. Let's talk about something."

"it is good."

Zeng Jia nodded in response.

"During this time, help Liu Yifei fight for something more, and tell me if there is anything unfair. In addition, Yang Ying's resources should be suppressed, and she should go to an acting training class."

"it is good."

"After Baozi signed the contract after a while, he took her and Lin Gou directly to the crew of "Legend of the Wind". It's okay to give her the script in advance, let her take care of it."

"Ah."

"There's nothing else. You just need to worry more about Yifei's sister Zeng recently. Don't deliberately mention what she joined us or what she did. If anyone asks you, just say it. If no one asks, don't talk too much. You are my agent. Man, as soon as you show up with her, everyone will know what's going on. There's no need to cause unnecessary trouble at this time. "

"clear."

Yang Mi arranged the work in an orderly manner. After all the work was arranged, Zeng Jia took out the small bag she brought:
"Here, Mimi, I don't know what to buy for the child, so I bought some small socks, a small hat, and gloves to prevent the baby from scratching his face."

"Oh...so cute~"

Looking at the strawberry socks that Zeng Jia took out, the original strong woman suddenly became a precious mother.

Nodding with a smile:
"It's so beautiful~"

Zeng Jia smiled slightly:
"As long as you like it... By the way, Mimi, do you know Hainan Zhouyi Film and Television?"

Yang Mi was taken aback.

After thinking about it, he said:

""Water Moon Cave Sky"?"

"Correct!"

Following Zeng Jia's nod, let alone Yang Mi, even Xu Xin raised his head.

"What happened to "Water Moon Cave Sky"?"

The name "Water Moon Cave Sky" is too special for Xu Xin.

Back then, Yin Tianxue played by Chen Farong was simply his dream lover...

The full set of DVDs of that show is still in Shenmu, and it belongs to his collection.

"It's not that what's wrong with "Water Moon Cave", but there seems to be something wrong with Zhou Yi. I heard that they are fighting fiercely... Don't we want to recruit a few screenwriters... May I pay attention?"

Hearing this, Yang Mi thought for a while and asked:
"Have they done anything recently?"

"Yes, I'm filming Gu Long's "Seven Weapons". This is where the news came from. I heard that the various shareholders of their company are divided into two factions. One side is Zhou Ping, and the other side is Zhou Ping's wife Jiang Xuerou. I heard that they are about to It's getting to the point of divorce... Their team is good at producing ancient costume martial arts dramas, and they still use the same team from Xiangjiang, if you think it's necessary..."

"..."

Yang Mi thought for a while, then nodded:
"Okay, let's get in touch and have a look, especially ask about the script, if there is any good script... let's talk about it."

Zeng Jia responded:
"Okay. Then I'll get in touch."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Miss Zeng."

"fine."

Zeng Jia waved her hands and stood up:

"I'm leaving."

"Okay~"

Holding the stack of socks she bought for her in her hand, Yang Mi responded with a smile.

She is now more and more interested in things about children.

Don't dare to wear small clothes or small shoes, they are all cute no matter how you look at them.

The flood of maternal love is a mess.

After Zeng Jia left, Xu Xin said:
"Are you interested in martial arts movies?"

"Sure."

Although it is inconvenient to move, Yang Mi's Baguazhang is quite standard.

"Actually, if allowed, I hope my next movie will be a martial arts movie. I also have a chivalrous dream, okay..."

"Jingle Bell……"

Before the voice fell, the phone rang.

After Yang Mi glanced at the caller, her eyes suddenly became extremely strange:
"Ah this..."

"what happened?"

Xu Xin was a little puzzled.

"It's Senior Brother Xu..."

"...Xu Haofeng?"

"Ah."

Yang Mi nodded, sat next to the coffee table, connected the phone and turned on the speakerphone:
"Hello, Senior Brother Xu, hello."

"Haha~"

Xu Haofeng's voice sounded on the phone:

"Hello, honey. How are you doing?"

"It's pretty good, but it's a little inconvenient to move around. I used to be able to stand upright, and occasionally when my body was tight, I could do two sets of airs. But now I can't do anything..."

"That's for sure. If you're pregnant, you'll have trouble moving and you won't be able to use your strength."

Hearing his words, Yang Mi responded with a smile:
"Yes... Brother, do you need me?"

"...Well, yes. Mimi, let me ask...you...do you have any plans for your comeback after giving birth?"

"Is it because of the script of Senior Brother's "The Grandmaster"?"

"Correct."

"Well……"

Yang Mi thought about it and said:

"After the comeback, maybe within a year or two, I will make a movie about my lover. There are no other film appointments yet. "The Grandmaster" is going to enter the preparation stage? Has the director been chosen?"

She hadn't forgotten that her lover liked that story.

Anyway, that's the end of the conversation, so let's ask.

"For the director... someone has already chosen."

"Uh……"

After hearing this answer, she looked at Xu Xin.

Xu Xin froze for a moment, then waved his hand with a little regret.

"That's it... then forget it, I also said that I recommend Xu Xin to try it. After all, he also really likes your script, senior brother."

"There is indeed a director for this one, and to tell you the truth, the director is also one of the screenwriters."

Now Yang Mi also knew that it was basically impossible to change the director.

So, her heart...

How should I put it, it wasn't too hot.

Originally, it was because of her brother that she studied the role of "Gong Er".

But now that he heard that the director has been selected, and that his brother still has a "Broken Silence" waiting for him, he has already prepared to shirk it.

So he greeted and said:
"That's pretty good too. The senior brother came to me today because he wanted to..."

"I want to recommend you to play Gong Er."

Xu Haofeng gave the answer straightforwardly:
"There are three screenwriters for this script, and another screenwriter recommended Zhang Ziyi. But I think you are more suitable...so I want to ask about your schedule first."

"...Zhang Ziyi?"

Yang Mi's eyes narrowed subconsciously.

It's not that she doesn't like Zhang Ziyi or has any grudges.

It's all the names related to that night... When they are mentioned, those things that happened to her will remind her of what a neglected existence she was that night.

Similarly, that night was also the cornerstone that supported her to get to where she is today!

The original greeting of polite refusal retreated temporarily.

She thought about it and said:
"Brother, who else is in this play?"

"..."

Xu Haofeng was silent for a while.

It seems to be hesitating, but also seems to be thinking.

then……

"Because the script is still in the confidential stage, the only thing I can tell you is... the male lead in this play is Liang Chaowei, which has already been decided. The female lead is Gong Er..."

"!"

"..."

Xu Xin also concentrated his attention now.

"Liang Chaowei?"

"Yes. Liang Chaowei."

"..."

After being confirmed, Yang Mi's eyes were already looking at her brother.

There is only one meaning in his eyes:
"What should I do?"

Xu Xin smiled and spread his hands.

It means she is casual.

I'm not in a rush for my own scenes, I can shoot whenever I want.

Besides...

He also thinks that the role of Gong Er is very brilliant.

As for how to coordinate the relationship between work and life after the child is born... To be honest, the two of them don't have any specific plans.

But what I think about is nothing more than four words: "to accompany each other".

He has no intention of interrupting his wife's acting career.

Unrealistic.

It's too manly.

Seeing Xu Xin's reaction, she also had a clue in her heart, and said:

"My lover didn't say when to shoot the movie...Brother, do I need to prepare for this movie? When do you plan to start filming? My due date is the end of October...If it's this year...maybe I There is no way to go."

"The filming plan is planned to be postponed to the next year. But the casting and so on... In fact, it has already started one after another."

"……what?"

Yang Mi was dumbfounded.

"Could it be that the last video clip..."

Now, there was a trace of guilt in Xu Haofeng's voice:
"Yes. Actually, I didn't plan it that way. I saw your performance and recommended it to the director. After I got your audition clips, the director meant to wait until the second half of the year for a comprehensive audition, including several of the intended ones. Actress together. But you suddenly got pregnant...it would be a bit inappropriate to call you here. So I didn't think about it...and the reason I called you today is...to investigate many actresses Finally, as one of the three screenwriters, I voted for you."

"Then I will fight with Zhang Ziyi?"

"Well. The others have basically been rejected."

"..."

Xu Haofeng's words made Yang Mi and Xu Xin have doubts in their eyes at the same time.

In fact, the status of an actor and the status of a director is a very delicate relationship.

Leaving aside the authority, let me give you the most realistic example.

For example, a film opened by an unknown director was invested by a big boss.And the big boss who invested money asked the heroine to be played by his Xiaomi.

Do you think the director dares to use the big boss Xiaomi like he used the third grandson?
And this relationship also applies to a normal crew.

The fame and status of an actor is also one of the criteria for measuring status in the crew.

Yang Mi will not talk about herself.

Just say Zhang Ziyi...

Did International Zhang get his name for nothing?

Regardless of whether Zhang Ziyi has acting skills or not, she only talks about her status and the background of Hong Kong capital behind her. Wherever she goes, she always walks with a serious image and is full of fire.

It is the existence of a group of young actors who can hold their own.

Ordinary directors dare not say "Let Zhang Ziyi fight for" a certain role at all.

That's a joke.

Zhang Ziyi wants to act in your play... Just kidding, isn't that called condescension?
Ordinary directors would burn incense if they could get this giant Buddha, how dare they let her compete with others?
Therefore, Xu Haofeng's words revealed a lot of information to Yang Mi and Xu Xin.

It's so much fun.

So, Yang Mi thought for a while and asked:
"Brother...can you tell me who the director of "The Grandmaster" is? Why do I sound so terrified?"

But unexpectedly, Xu Haofeng hesitated for a while:
"This……"

Then he said:
"Mimi, it's not enough. This script is in the confidential stage, and it's inconvenient to say these things. What I can tell you is that I recommended you, and another director recommended Zhang Ziyi. You two are on the same page. You came out of the cast... Although you didn't come to the audition, both your understanding of the role and your acting skills are good enough for me, and it fits the temperament of Gong Er in my heart. But the final decision, It's still with the director. So I must confirm the schedule with you in advance."

"..."

Hearing this, Yang Mi looked at Xu Xin again.

Xu Xin, who was originally thoughtful, noticed her gaze, thought for a while, nodded, and made an "OK" gesture.

Meaning no problem.

Seeing this, Yang Mi said:

"As for the schedule, I should have no problem. Are you planning to start next year?"

"Yes. But the progress will not be too fast. It will take some time to build the exterior scenes after the project is approved. Slow work and meticulous work, so if we really want to start shooting... Maybe it will be in the middle of the year. Or later , as long as you can spare time."

"When will the choice of the role be decided?"

"It should be the end of the year."

"...Okay, I see. Thank you, senior brother. Has the setting of Gong Er been changed? If not, I will think about it again."

"No. It's still the setting I sent you."

"Well, okay! Then I'll think about it... Brother, thank you!"

Xu Haofeng's laughing voice sounded on the phone:
"Hehehe, it's okay, it should be. After all, in my heart, you are the most suitable for this role. Get ready, I can only do my best to help you fight for it!"

"……thanks!"

Yang Mi replied sincerely.

A person who only met once, helped her fight for a role like this.

She was also very grateful.

Then they exchanged some polite words before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, her first words were:

"Brother, who do you think this person is?"

"Let's write a few names and compare them?"

"Okay."

Yang Mi picked up the notebook, tore off a page and handed it to him.

The two sat opposite each other in front of the tea table.

It took Xu Xin less than a minute to think.

When Yang Mi saw him start writing, she subconsciously stretched her head to look at the paper.

That look is the same as cheating on an exam and peeping at the same table doing the questions.

pity……

An old married couple, Xu Xin couldn't be more familiar with her tricks.

Put your hands directly on the notebook...

"Cut~"

Yang Mi smacked her mouth in dissatisfaction, then lowered her head and began to ponder by herself.

While writing, while pondering.

After about two to three minutes, Xu Xin put down his pen:

"I've written it."

"I finished writing too...how many did you write?"

"Three."

"...I am three too!"

"Then come."

He folded his note and pressed it in his hand.

That look seemed to be afraid that Yang Mi would only take her own, but not show hers to him.

"Virtue..."

He closed the notebook and pushed it in front of Xu Xin's hand:

"Pay the money!"

"One-handed delivery! Bring it to you~"

Quickly took the notebook away, and Yang Mi was also afraid that he would be cheating, so she quickly took the note away...

Ok.

In a sense, these two men are the same.

Then, when Xu Xin opened the notebook and saw the first name, he showed disgust:
"Hey~~~~Chen Kaige? What do you think? Is "The Promise" not bad enough, or do you think he can understand kung fu movies?"

Because of the Olympics, although I don't deny the director's achievements and I like his "Farewell My Concubine" very much, Xu Xin really doesn't like him.

Who knew that Yang Mi also felt the same disgust:

"Xu Ke? Have you watched "Dragon Inn" too much?"

And dislike is dislike...

When I saw the last two names...

Yang Mi knew that her brother wanted to go with her.

Li Eucalyptus, Wang Jiawei.

"Do you think it might be Li An?"

"...I actually think Wang Jiawei is more likely."

"Why? Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon wasn't enough?"

"No, because of what your senior brother said: slow work leads to careful work."

Xu Xin shook his head slightly:

"Think about it, when "The Grandmaster" was given to you, when was it?"

"Earlier this year."

"At the beginning of the year, I gave you a few lines. Then...it was the middle of the year, and there was no movement. And the film project was approved at the end of the year, and the set will start to be built next year, and even if you are pregnant or due date, no one will tell you what to do. Anxious. I don't think this slow temper is like Li An's style."

"...But it's normal for a director to spend several years preparing a work."

"So Li An is also included in the answer I gave you. But I think it is more like Wang Jiawei. This mysterious characteristic...and an intuition, I think it is more like his style."

"..."

"You also wrote about Wang Jiawei...why did you write about him?"

"I think these people are the only ones who dare to use Zhang Ziyi as an ordinary actor. Xu Ke... is very commercialized. From what my senior brother said, I think this scene must be very hypocritical and twisted. Xu Ke is not like this A style. I have never worked with Li An and Wang Jiawei...but their status is here..."

"..."

"..."

The two fell into silence again.

moment.

Yang Mi nodded:
"If it's really Wang Jiawei or Li An... I really want to play it. But..."

Speaking of this, she hesitated again:

"I'm a bit awkward. Think about it, I won't talk about Li An. If Wang Jiawei...he finishes shooting a movie, maybe our son will go to kindergarten. He is notoriously slow... Considering that I can afford to delay, I can’t afford to delay. Besides... what about "Broken Silence"? You have been preparing for this script for so long... Is it because I am delaying?"

"Well……"

Xu Xin thought for a while, then shook his head slightly:

"I'll watch it then. You're not 100% able to choose..."

"..."

The corner of Yang Mi's mouth twitched.

I thank you.

Your old man's little mouth is really smeared with honey.

so sweet.

　First of all, thanks to the leader of "Lucky Knight"!Thanks to the leader of "Ragnarous"!The third watch will be delivered.

　　Secondly... You see, the movie unfolds differently~ hehe~
　　Finally, the leader owes more: 4 more!
　　In other words, why is this account not over yet...
