I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 330 328. Five pieces of advice (33)

9 month 2 number.

The beta version of the Sina Weibo website was launched.

As one of the many stars invited to join, Yang Mi and Xu Xin also posted their first Weibo after Weibo went online.

"Hello everyone, I am actress Yang Mi. I will share my work and life on Weibo in the future. Please pay attention to me."

"Hi everyone, I am Xu Xin, a young director. Warmly celebrate the launch of the beta version of Weibo, I hope you will pay more attention."

On the day the two microblogs were posted according to the contract, Yang Mi gained more than 7 users' attention.

As for Xu Xin...he harvested more than 8 yuan.

but……

What to say.

"Kill Xu Dog!"

"Old thief Xu dog!!!"

"Grab honey, kill Xu dog!"

"Dog thief!! The revenge of taking his wife is irreconcilable!!"

"Yang Mi is here, let's kill Xu Gou and grab Mimi!!!"

Ok.

The above is the tip of the iceberg of Xu Xin's Weibo comment.

In all honesty, Xu Xin reckoned that he should be able to secure the top spot today if he only talked about Weibo messages.

If the premise is that you can ignore why these people are here...

But Xu Xin wasn't just in the habit of being scolded and not answering back.

Weibo profile, he was lazy before and filled out the sentence "young director" in his profile.

And Yang Mi is the very official and detailed kind of "masterpiece "The Wind", "Wulin Biography" and the like.

Xu Xin laughed at the beginning and finished writing one line of her masterpiece.

But now it is uncharacteristically, and before introducing the self-introduction of "young director", he added "the husband of actor Yang Mi".

slightly slightly ~
Not angry!
Are you angry!

Originally, he wanted to post another Weibo frenziedly, saying something like "@actor-杨米, this is my wife, please take care of me".

As a result, I thought about it again and again...

Forget it.

Forgive you once!
Our old Xu has also grown up, and he is no longer the young man who must take revenge.

However, as long as it's a joke, he still gave Yang Mi a mouthful:
"I feel that this Weibo will definitely not be easy in the future. It is worth your time to make it work. If you have nothing to do, post more on Weibo and interact with everyone. You can't go wrong."

Seeing that he was serious about what he said, Yang Mi was also unambiguous, and seriously included Weibo management into the scope of daily work.

Interacting with fans quite frequently, the number of fans began to increase slowly, and it already meant to stand out from a group of stars.

As for Xu Xin...

He doesn't have to run it.

Basically, if Yang Mi's fans increase, so will he.

It's just that the content in the message area is easily condemned by dog ​​lovers.

……

For the next period of time, Xu Xin's life was quite monotonous.

It can even be said to be boring.

Because his life is the same two points and one line.

Home, school, home.

The script of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" is being structured according to his ideas. The screenwriters are not noobs. The director has already given the concept, and Director Zhang has the copyright.

Do whatever people say.

Except for the occasional need to communicate with Xu Xin on the phone at some joint points, everyone did not meet face-to-face at other times.

And the same goes for the screenplay of The Deal.

But... the script is kind of bad.

What director Xu values ​​is the contrast between the characters, and the story is drawn from the characters.And the special type of the story is the girl accompanying the wine and the little boy...

The entire script needs to be changed drastically, but the story is still required to be brought to life.

The first task of the screenwriting team, they definitely don't want to mess it up.But the revised first version of the story once again caused Xu Xin to call back directly on the spot.

And I added my own opinion: "It's not enough for life, it weakens the sense of existence of the little boy and the hostess, no way."

All staff continue to return to work.

In fact, Xu Xin also had a headache about the script of "Deal".

Because he really liked the main frame of the story and felt that Liu Yifei was also suitable, so he decided to change it.

But after I started to change it, I realized that the storyline was really weak.

But he still doesn't quite want to give up.

Because thinking of Liu Yifei, who will always be a fairy sister in front of everyone, suddenly changes in this drama.

The contrast between smoky makeup, girl with wine, smoking and drinking to burn your head...

This is actually a story that subverts her own image.

He and Yang Mi, including Liu Yifei himself, are unwilling to continue to be confined to the so-called "immortals".Instead, I want to set people down.

This story will do.

The premise is that if you can handle the storyline well...

It can only be said that we have to continue grinding.

And everything is orderly and orderly... Even the baby in the stomach is growing super awesomely healthy, and there are no umbilical cords around the neck, fetal distress, etc...

As the saying goes, people who have no far-sightedness must have near-worries.

Xu Xin's greatest distress...

coming.

9 month 11 number.

The 14-day military training is over.

9 month 12 number.

The opening ceremony is here.

……

"So short????"

Yu Zhen looked at the manuscript paper handed to her, and when she saw that there was only half a page on it, she was completely dumbfounded.

"Is your speech so brief?"

"That's not it."

Xu Xin shook his head:
"The above words are from the perspective of the school."

"Learn... what about the rest?"

Yu Zhen was speechless.

I want to see what my student has done.

as predicted……

Xu Xin pointed to his head:
"In my head."

"..."

Yu Zhen's breath was so tight that her throat was blocked and she couldn't swallow it.

She stared wide-eyed:

"In your head?"

"Yes, in my head."

Yu Zhen is in her own office, and there are no outsiders at the moment, so Xu Xin doesn't hide her words.

Even, seeing a few pieces of plum candy on the table, he took one and grabbed it in his hand, and then continued:
"Teacher Yu, this manuscript has stuck with me for a long time... I don't feel comfortable writing it."

"why?"

"Because...that's not the real film and television industry."

Xu Xin shrugged:

"Of course, I also know that it is impossible for the school to tell them how cruel the real film and television industry is. But what I think is... there are outstanding student representatives to speak every year, but how many can really be remembered? But... considering that these people may be my students in the future, I think it would be better to help them figure out some things sometimes."

It's okay if he doesn't say that.

Speaking of these, Yu Zhen frowned:

"what are you going to do?"

She was afraid that her students would say something radical.

Although she did not believe that Xu Xin would do this.

This child is not a fool. It is an instinct engraved in his bones to talk nonsense when he sees people.

This instinct can be said to be smooth, but it is more like a representative of high emotional intelligence.

So she didn't understand why he suddenly had such a persistence at such a time.

Facing the teacher's question, Xu Xin smiled and shook his head:

"I don't do anything, and I don't say anything else. I just want to give you some advice. If someone can listen to it, I think they may avoid some detours in the future. So, I prepared the official speech like this Many. As for the rest of the heart-wrenching words, I have gone through my mind several times, so you can rest assured."

"..."

Seeing that Xu Xin had reached this point, Yu Zhen knew that he would not change.

So there was a little helplessness on his face:

"You just follow the steps honestly and read from the manuscript for a few minutes like everyone else? Obviously you were reluctant at first. Now you want to be different again?"

"It's not unconventional."

Xu Xin folded his manuscript and put it in his pocket:
"It's just a matter of not doing it. Now that you have decided to do it, you must act with a serious and responsible attitude."

"...Are you sure you won't mess it up?"

"How can it be."

Xu Xin laughed:
"I'm screwing up, and it's not yours that's lost?"

"...Okay, then the teacher is waiting to see how you perform."

Once again, Yu Zhen put her trust in this student who has never let herself down since the first half semester of her freshman year.

……

The side of the school auditorium stage.

Different from the decent suit of the president of the student union who was giving a speech on the stage, Xu Xin, who was only dressed in black short sleeves, jeans, and sneakers, glanced at the crowd off the field, and his heart inevitably accelerated.

To be honest, he kind of wanted to slip away.

There are...too many people!

Hey, what are all the things I want to say in my head?

It's over.

If I had known earlier, I would have written directly in the manuscript!
... Where is my manuscript?
Oh yes, in the back pocket.

No, I have to calm down for a while...

No, why are there so many people in our school?
Upstairs and downstairs, tens of thousands of people?Those of you upstairs have to be careful, if you fall down, you still have to buy a ticket. There are VIPs in front of you... Ahh!
Xu Xin, who had Guo Degang's cross talk joke popped up in his mind for some reason, quickly shook his head.

Then continue to observe the students below through the curtain.

He is already a junior.

A serious senior.

In other words, he is a senior himself, but he just repeated a grade.

And now those classmates... It seems that the changes are not small.

Well, Jing Tian is even whiter.

Make up?
That girl is not bad...what's her name?Zheng Xing?Her recent "Let's Go to the Thunderstorm" is quite popular.

Yo?That handsome guy over there has quite three-dimensional facial features.

Oh?Zhang Jiao is here too...

His brain began to spin rapidly, and a wave of nervous emotions began to split rapidly through these thought gaps.

"Next, let's invite an outstanding student from the directing department, an outstanding young director, the youngest director in history with a billion-dollar box office——Xu Xin, to give a welcome speech!"

When he came back to his senses after being called out by a burst of applause, he saw the student council president who couldn't even give his name looking sideways at him, applauding for him...

His mind froze instantly.

Call me?
Are you calling me?
He subconsciously pointed to himself.

Then I saw this buddy nodding to himself.

"Dong dong dong dong..."

Under the beating heart, he took a stiff first step.

Then comes the second step.

By the third step, the person has already walked out of the stage, and the spotlight has already hit him.

Xu Xin squinted subconsciously.

But I can't see the faces below.

And, that is, the lighting is "just right" at this moment, otherwise it would definitely be seen that he was blushing like a monkey's butt.

But then again, social fear belongs to social fear.

When the real chapter came, Xu Xin knew that he couldn't be vague anymore.

So, in the fourth step, his mind suddenly calmed down as if he had been drenched in a basin of refreshing ice water.

Step by step, he came to the podium.

First, he bowed to the school leaders and teachers sitting on the podium.

Then, amidst the applause, he looked at the students with blurred faces under the strong light and bowed slightly.

Finally took out the speech paper.

"Cough cough."

The sound of coughing came from the loudspeaker, stopping the applause.

Then, everyone heard another breath:

"call……"

Xu Xin, who had already started his speech, bowed his head and read:
"Respected teachers, leaders, dear students of the 2009 class, hello everyone. I am Xu Xin from the 2005 undergraduate directing class."

"..."

The audience was silent...

Then, who knows who, suddenly let out a chuckle.

"Haha~"

With this sound of taking the lead, the students who realized Xu Xin's special history of "repeating a grade" burst into laughter.

But the laughter was accompanied by applause.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

And Xu Xin himself was taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, he also smiled.

After chuckling, he continued to look at the manuscript and said:

"First of all, welcome everyone to Yanjing Film Academy, the top and most influential film art school in the country. Seeing the faces of all the freshmen not only reminds me of the first time I came to the school The scene at that time made me see the future of film art..."

His speech is not long, and after he finished speaking, he has entered the final stage.

"I believe that choosing the film school is one of the most correct decisions you have ever made. Our film school has the world's first-class film teaching equipment, strong teaching staff, and advanced teaching experience. It has given birth to countless Chinese films. The cradle of people. Here, I hope that everyone will forge ahead, not forgetting the original intention, inheriting the past and ushering in the future, and continue to shine for the film art we love, and contribute our own strength."

The speech is over.

And as he paused, the applause sounded half a beat later.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Then, everyone saw Xu Xin, who had been looking at the speech just now, raised his head.

"Next, as an old senior who enrolled in 05 and is only a junior this year, I would like to share with you some of my own experience. I hope you can gain something in the future."

"..."

"..."

"...?"

Seeing him suddenly withdraw the manuscript, there was a hint of doubt in the eyes of these freshmen who came from various art schools.

And Xu Xin, who had already forgotten what nervousness was, lost a king bomb as soon as he opened his mouth.

"The first piece of advice: University does not prohibit dating, but please try to get married and have children after graduation."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The whole place was silent.

Even the school leaders sitting next to him were stunned.

He turned his head and stared at Xu Xin...

There is one emotion in everyone's eyes:
"What is this man talking about?"

then……

"puff……"

"Hahahahahaha..."

"Oh!!!!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa~"

Applause, laughter, and whistles came together.

Originally, the opening ceremony was somewhat formulaic and very boring, but following Xu Xin's first advice, the sound seemed to overturn the ceiling in an instant.

Amid the self-deprecating laughter, Xu Xin bowed to the school leaders:
"Trouble for the teachers."

"..."

Including Yu Zhen, everyone showed dumbfounding expressions.

OK... OK.

What can be said?
They are capable and have proven themselves.

At the legal age again, the young couple love each other, get married and have children...

What can you say?
Besides, didn't they give advice?
"This one is very important."

Accompanied by Xu Xin's words...

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone's ears were pricked up, male or female.

After making a joke of himself, Xu Xin nodded slightly and continued:
"The second piece of advice I want to give to the students in the Department of Editing and Directing. As a senior, what I want to say to you is that before you can't tell a story, anyone who talks about the artistic concept, thoughts, and themes in the film Thoughts are just empty talk.”

There was a silence.

After the banter was gone, Xu Xin said seriously:

"Please remember that at the beginning of its birth, film was a visual art form that expresses stories by using moving images. It is our predecessors who discovered that in addition to expressing stories, it can communicate ideas and express emotions. , values, and cognition functions, thus endowing it with more internal meanings.

As a latecomer, we must first understand where our foundation is.As a director, we must first tell a story to the audience.Before the story is clearly told, any artistic discussion is empty talk. "

"..."

"..."

"..."

Laughter turned into thinking.

Everyone had a thoughtful look on their faces.

"The third piece of advice, all students majoring in directing, learn to communicate. Don't imitate some tyrants on the set, or sit on the clouds and never see the end. Please remember that communication is the best Ways and paths of communication and growth.”

Facing the silent crowd, Xu Xin raised his fourth finger:

"The fourth piece of advice: All the students in the acting department, please learn to act before you become famous. Also, please don't forget it at home after you become famous."

"The fifth piece of advice: No matter what your profession is, please never leave the masses. Only by rooting in the people's soil and cultivating it deeply will your art not become seemingly unattainable but flashy. castles in the air."

"at last."

After finishing the five pieces of advice, looking at those people who were lost in thought, Xu Xin nodded slightly:
"The last message is also a blessing. I wish you all the best in your pursuit of film art. I also hope that I will be honored to cooperate with you in the future. This is the end of my speech, thank you all .”

After bowing slightly politely again, and bowing to the school leader...

There was belated applause:
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Although Xu Xin himself didn't know whether his five pieces of advice were qualified to be remembered by them.

But listening to the applause...

It seemed that, at least at this moment, they all remembered it in their hearts.

That's enough.

Maybe his advice is still immature, maybe some truths are wrong to others.

But these five pieces of advice are what he feels is the greatest help he can give to these juniors.

Perhaps, they will not necessarily be particularly useful.

After all, everyone's life situation is different.

But at the very least, whether it is myself or Yang Mi, they are firmly implementing some of the contents of these few pieces of advice.

And for now...

It seems that they all... succeeded?

But what he doesn't know is that these five pieces of advice are very valuable experiences for many people off the field.

For example, Jing Tian who is thinking at this moment.

For example, Zhang Jiao who clenched her fists at this moment...

Of course, some people listened absent-mindedly.

For example, Zheng Min, who suddenly became popular with "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" premiered on Mango Channel in August.

While Xu Xin was speaking, she kept pressing her phone with her head down.

The fire of "Meteor Shower" made her suddenly gain a lot of popularity.

And Mango TV also began to pour resources to support her.

With so many commercial resources rushing in, she has already tasted the taste of fame for the first time.

What advice?
did not hear.

Because at this moment, she has already finalized the shooting of two commercials.

Compared to that real money...

Don't say you didn't pay attention.

So what if you really hear it... Who in this era is not the first to talk about it?
……

"Wonderful" Speech by Director Xu Xin at the Opening Ceremony of Beijing Film Academy! "

This video quietly appeared on many video portals.

Although the video was clearly recorded by the mobile phone, the words of advice about Xu Xin were recorded very clearly.

Especially the first one...

Really made a lot of people laugh.

Good guy, are you really self-deprecating in your feelings?

hahaha~
However, apart from the first piece of advice, which was obviously a joke, the remaining few pieces made many people think.

But not much.

It can only be said that Xu Xin's advice is of little reference to non-film professional practitioners.

But in the eyes of those who are engaged in the film industry, his words are not very informative.

It's not that it's useless.

It's just that as soon as these few pieces of advice come out, you can understand after careful analysis. He just said it for all newcomers to listen to.

And it doesn't involve the real entertainment industry either.

The real film and television industry will certainly not be so simple.

Not to mention anything else, just a "communication" advice can eliminate a large number of people.

The relationship between the crew and actors, the relationship between the director and investors, producers... Sometimes these people can't communicate at all.

But in all honesty, for newcomers, it helps a lot.

Nothing wrong.

The premise is that if others can really listen to it.

But whatever.

At least, in the beginning of the school season in September, Xu Xin's "alternative" speech can be regarded as adding a touch of humor to the first half of this month.

The wind and waves are not big, and those who are interested will naturally use it when they hear it.

Those who couldn't listen to it didn't force it.

So it calmed down pretty quickly.

Time goes forward little by little.

It seems that October is the most important month of the year.

People in the film and television industry are also watching.

After all, on October 10st, there is a blockbuster movie to be released as an insider.

What kind of myth this movie will create, everyone is waiting to see.

Including Xu Xin herself.

In this anticipation, Xu Xin, who was still living at two o'clock and one line every day and had already started preparing for the test, suddenly received a call from an old classmate on September 9th.

Fang Xiu called.

and brought a message:
"Old Xu, do you want to make documentaries?"

"...?"

　Leader owes more: 5 more.Once again, I would like to apologize to everyone for my mistakes today. I sincerely apologize. I am sorry!
