I'm the director, I'm not bad

For dinner, Xu Daqiang showed the most authentic craftsmanship.

A bowl of authentic Qinchuan oil-splashed noodles.

Regarding the incident in the bathroom in the afternoon, neither father nor son said a word.There is no need to say such things.

As long as he is sure that his son is not messing around, he is already relieved.

Otherwise, if the conversation continues, and the couple finally quarrels because of such a non-existent matter, that will be the worst outcome.As the saying goes, those who can do it will hide from both sides, and those who can't do it will pass on both sides.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is sometimes the epitome of complex communication in a person's heart.The best way to deal with it is sometimes to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

And after dinner, while smoking, Xu Xin received a call from Jay Chou: "Dudu, talk, I'm done, what do you think of the script?"

"How do you want to shoot that? That word. That Japanese word for children." Sitting in the gazebo garden of the confinement center, Xu Xin asked.

"Submission.

"That's right, that's the word. Are you going to make a sub-directed TV series?" "Ha~ Good vision~"

A brisk smile came from Jay Chou.

"You still understand, you can tell it at a glance? Many people here think that I am filming an idol drama." But facing his brisk tone, Xu Xin didn't mean to be joking at all.

Instead, he sighed, "Oh."

"Why are you sighing?"

"I'm speechless. Don't blame others for saying that you want to make an idol drama. The routine of this script is really similar to the process of an idol drama. Then there is the shadow of "Batman", although it is not plagiarism, and I also admit that that What about Pandaren, including a series of descriptions of future technological equipment is quite interesting. But since the audience for this thing is children, why do you engage in so many gun battles and the like?"

"Because I find it interesting.

Jay Chou's voice was still full of interest:

"Read, think about it, it's like "Listen to Mom". I just released the album, didn't many people say I was naive. But that's what I want to write~ You underestimate the ability of children to accept, let alone, Not all of them are children's things. I hope this show will be watched by older children who still have this heroic dream in their hearts. Let the Pandaren become their heroes, like Superman and Iron Man." "Intend to How much to invest?"

"One hundred million New Taiwan dollars."

"2000?"

"That's right, but don't worry, it's already paid off and made a lot of money. Hearing this, Xu Xin was taken aback:
"What's the meaning?"

"Metersbonwe, Patriot Digital Technology, Skyworth TV, Delhui, Coca-Cola, MAODA Cigarettes, Easy Travel World Travel Website, Jinmao Grand Hyatt Hotel, Sony, there are probably more than 30 companies interested in placing advertisements, the lowest The cost of implantation is 200 million. So don't worry about the issue of distribution costs.

"."

Hearing the series of brands that Jay Chou read, Xu Xin was a little confused.

Subconsciously asked: "Are these embedded advertisements?"

"That's right~ that's all the urban themes are good for. Any commercial or plot setting can be added in." Jay Chou's tone was extremely relaxed.

But Xu Xin subconsciously felt something was wrong.

Although it is said that the placement of advertisements has been flying all over the sky in the past two years.

All movies have to be embedded with advertisements, and advertisers walk into various film crews with a lot of money, hoping to promote their own brands.It is a joy to give money.

But the audience will get tired of it.

There are too many advertisements and too much commerciality. How can we ensure that the audience can immerse themselves in the emotions of the TV series without being distracted?When he was about to say something, suddenly, he heard Jay Chou say:

"I'm going to be the director of this movie, Ah Xin~hahaha~" "Uh"

In an instant, all the words Xu Xin wanted to say were stuffed back into his stomach.He has always dreamed of being a director, and Xu Xin knows that.

He has known it since "The Unspeakable Secret".After thinking about it, he said:

"Do you need me to help you control the quality?" "Haha, what are you doing? Don't worry about me?" "."

Xu Xin was silent for a moment, then smiled and said:

"No, rest assured is assured. But let's not talk about the script, I suggest you be cautious about placing advertisements. It's really not easy to overdo it. Although it looks very profitable at first glance, but your first TV series, I think word of mouth More important than anything else. Wanwan’s idol dramas have indeed been declining step by step in the past two years. You are so famous, and you shoot well. It’s a breath of fresh air for everyone. But if you don’t shoot well, it’s easy to be criticized Others think that you are one of the chief culprits who ruined the idol drama. Then the gain outweighs the loss~”

""

After hearing Xu Xin's words, Jay Chou was taken aback for a moment.

Subconsciously glanced at the advertiser's sponsorship application about [-] to [-] centimeters thick on his desk, "So exaggerated?"

"It should be more exaggerated than that. Think about it, who doesn't know your current appeal? Your drama will definitely attract a lot of attention. If every corner of a drama is really full of commerciality, then don't worry about it." How about the series, first of all, you will be labeled as overly commercialized. Anyway, this drama will not lose money, and it is much better to catch big fish in the long run than to rush to recover the cost first, right?"

"That makes sense. Read, do you want to come to Wanwan in December? Come with Mimi, okay? After I participated in the finals of "The Voice" on the 12th, this year's inland activities are only left on the 28th." That day's "Night at the Peak" Good Voice concert~ How about bringing my godson and goddaughter to Wanwan? Let's have a good chat then, the weather here is very good~"

"When is your "Pandaren" crew planning to start?"

"We filmed a part of it a year ago, and then we are rushing to film and broadcast it~ It happens that we will do some scene selection and preparation in December.

"We'll talk about it when we go to the Golden Horse Awards. How about it? She's also preparing a film. My time is not easy to arrange. Besides, "The Hawthorn" is also busy. You have to drink the full moon wine in two days. Woolen cloth.

"It's okay if I know~ Then let me say this first, your suggestion is very reasonable!~ I have to think again. Hang up the phone.

The evening wind was rustling, Xu Xin was sitting in the gazebo, holding the phone, thinking carefully about planning his next activities.In fact, there are only a few things he will be busy with next.

One is "Mountain Planting Trees", and the other is an opening short film for college students.

I really want to say I'm busy, but I'm not.

But the same reason, because the preparation of the film is a very cumbersome thing, from the selection of the scene, the casting of the cast, to the formation of the crew, to the story of the script, etc., this series of workload requires him to do it himself.

Even if he doesn't have to choose the scene himself, but just looks at the photos.It's a work thing.

What's more, the wedding in the coming year, how to take care of the child if my sister chooses "The Grandmaster", and his graduation thesis

That is to say, he has the hope of being recommended to the school for graduate students, otherwise, just one postgraduate entrance examination would be enough for him to drink a pot.Why do you feel so busy all of a sudden?

He scratched his head.

Then the phone made a "ding dong".

"It's time to come up, daddy. It's time to do exhaust exercises for the baby and put us to sleep~" Seeing this message, Xu Zhu quickly got up and walked into the corridor without saying a word.

Back in the room, looking at his wife who was doing exhaust exercises for Yang Yang, he hurriedly rubbed his hands. After warming his hands, he put Nuan Nuan on the bed gently.

Hold her leg, and follow the movements taught by the nurse to do exhaust exercises for her daughter.After doing it a few times, I heard two "sighs".

"Hey~smelly~"

Xu Xin said with eyes full of disgust on purpose.

Unfortunately, Nuan Nuan just stared at her mother in a daze.Don't pay attention to him at all.

Xu Xin, who was making fun of himself, rubbed his daughter's belly and said, "I find that the current ad placement is really crazy."

"What's wrong?"

After talking about the conversation with Jay Chou, Yang Mi nodded:

"Normal. If you watch the movies in theaters now, which ones are you not ordering?"
Place an ad?what?Interested? "I'm tempted ass."

Xu Xin rolled his eyes:
"Whoever likes to do implants will do it. I don't talk about that. I just worry that the wheels will be too commercialized and I will be scolded."

"He listens to you quite well. Since you have said everything, it shouldn't be too much. But it must be a good thing to recover the cost."

"Yeah." "Sigh~"

Another two butts came out.

Xu Xin looked proud:
"It has to be my eldest son, who can fart so vigorously. "Your son's piss is delicious."

Yang Mi rolled her eyes.

Xu Xin didn't refute, but just laughed out loud. .
Yang Mi's confinement was officially over on November 11th.

28 days.

But for the sake of her health, Xu Xin chose confinement, and directly reached the limit of 45 days.The reason is that her body will not leave any hidden dangers in the future.

However, after the confinement period, her physical activity has actually increased significantly.Whether it's brisk walking, yoga, or stances.

Although the pace is a bit sloppy, at least the muscle memory is still there.

And all this is to participate in the audition for "The Great Master" after confinement.Speaking of which, she also prepared for the story of "The Great Master" for a year.

But this year's preparation is actually very speechless.

For a year, she relied on that line of introduction about "Gong Er" and four sentences to build her own character.No way, who asked the director to keep the script secret.

In the past year, Xu Xin and her discussed the person "Gong Er" more than once.Also simulated many different personality reveals.

Including all kinds of gossip and rumors from the Republic of China, and even some martial arts and story clips from the Internet, they were also integrated into Yang Mi's almost full notebook.

When this is said, many people do not believe it.Because Yang Mi has no shortage of filming.

At this moment, she has been busy inside and out for a year because none of them has been decided on as the leading role for her.But both he and Xu Xin thought it was worth it.

It's not uncommon for a good actor to spend a year polishing his characters.

And as the end of the confinement approached, she also began the journey of cramming.Apart from being with the children every day, I just think about the script.

Xu Xin became her backbone.

The couple is not fighting alone, though.At least that's the case with Full Moon Wine.

Apart from providing the list, nothing else has bothered the couple.

And just as the young couple continued to enjoy the final peace in the confinement center, the final version of the script of "Mountain Planting Trees" was brought over. November 11th.

After Xu Xin got the news, he came to Zhang Yimou's house.

"Here you are.

After seeing Zhang Yimou, he didn't choose to accept the script directly, but first presented an invitation with both hands.Zhang Yimou opened the invitation, looked at the date, and asked:
"The 26th? How was that day?"

"The tenth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar is Western Thanksgiving. I read the almanac and it is a good day. "The lunar calendar is also the tenth day of the tenth month of October? Is it the same as the solar calendar for Nuan Nuan and Yang Yang's birth?"

"Um!"

Speaking of this, Xu Xin couldn't help laughing out loud:
"Hehe, I didn't expect that, what a coincidence. Although the child's lunar calendar is different, it is indeed the tenth day of October."

"Ha~"

Zhang Yimou couldn't help laughing.After closing the invitation, he said:
"I'll choose a more suitable gift in the next few days."

"read!"

Xu Xin responded, and then sent another invitation to Zhang Mo.Zhang Mo took it with a smile and said:

"I have to follow the money. Gifts don't come with money~ The two little guys will be rich in the future~" "Haha~ money is good, the more money the better.

Xu Chu was overjoyed when he heard the auspicious words.Then Zhang Mou said:
"People from the Olympics, have you given it away?"

"No, you are the first one. Wait for these two days, I will send them one after another in person. If you are not in Yanjing, I will also call to invite you." "Yeah"

After handing the invitation to his daughter, he handed the script to Xu Xin.Zhang Mou pointed upstairs:

"Let's go, the above said. "Okay."

The three of them went up to the second floor and pushed open the door of the study. Xu Zhu saw the samurai sword that Takakura Ken specially rushed over to give to him when he was in the Olympic Games on Director Zhang's desk.

When Xu Xin was in Shenmu when he gave this knife, he missed it.

But having said that, he is not from Director Zhang's era. Although he knows that Takakura Ken is very good at acting, he doesn't have any fanatical star-chasing mentality.

On the contrary, it was the old man who was quite sorry to hear that Takakura Ken had come.

After all, when the "Hunting" was spread to China, it was a real classic memory of a generation.And the friendship between the old man and Takakura Ken is quite enviable.

It really belongs to the kind of very "elegant" friend.The contact method of the two turned out to be a letter, can you believe it was not an email or a phone call, but a correspondence.

The two gentlemen turned out to be "pen pals"!When the two of them wrote letters, sometimes Gao Cangjian wrote Chinese and Zhang Yimou wrote Japanese, and they all took a dictionary and compared them a little bit, wrote them down, and mailed them to the other party.

Moreover, the knife he gave the old man was quite expensive, and it was as expensive as a flat in Yanjing.The knife was presented in the morning and afternoon. Seeing that Zhang Yimou was so busy, Gao Cangjian left.

But before leaving, I went to Baiyun Temple to pray for the old man before leaving.This is not the worst.

The most amazing thing is that since the delivery of the knife in 07, Takakura Ken has specially invited a knife maker to Zhang Dao's house every year to maintain the knife.The ordinary old man also cherishes this knife very much. After learning the maintenance of knives by himself next to him, he often takes it down for maintenance.

I even ordered a knife holder for this knife in the most wooden position of the bookshelf in the study room.No one is allowed to touch.

Not even Zhang Mo.

Neither can Xu Xin.

When three people came in, Zhang Yimou quickly put the knife back on the shelf.Then, the old rules.

Zhang Mo made tea while Xu Xin read the script.

It took less than an hour, and after reading all the scripts, he felt at ease. "This story is what I want.

He nodded to Zhang Yimou:

"That kind of composition is as calm as flowing water at first glance, with emotions advancing layer by layer, a little bit of foreshadowing, and finally at the moment when the third child and Jing Qiu parted, it just completed the complete stacking of emotions, boom!"

Suddenly, he picked up a stack of draft paper and wrote down a line:

"There must be a song throughout. A song that fits that era! It must be sad and cheerful!" An inspiration flashed through his mind, and he quickly captured it and jotted it down.

Zhang Yimou watched him finish writing, and asked directly, "How about Russian songs?"

"Russian song?" Xu Xin was stunned.

Zhang Yimou nodded:

"Yes. In fact, many of the songs in that era were translated from Soviet songs. Especially in the Northeast, many songs meet your requirements. For example, "Katyusha", such as "Goodbye, Friend."

"Oh friend, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, shall we? What if we were la la la la?" Xu Zhu hummed subconsciously.

Just as Zhang Yimou nodded, suddenly, Zhang Mo said:

"Isn't this song okay? It's not a Soviet song, it's an Italian one. Its original name is BELLACIAO~" "Is this an Italian song?"

Even Zhang Yimou was taken aback for a moment.Obviously, it was also the first time he had heard of it.

"You don't know?" Zhang Mo was a little surprised.

Zhang Mou shook his head while looking at Xu Xin:

"I'm not an encyclopedia, what about "Evening in the Suburbs of Moscow"?"""

Xu Zhu thought for a while and said:

"Can't remember the word
son.Just remember one sentence: Night in the suburbs of Moscow ~ la la la la" Zhang Yimou frowned, speechless:
"You young man, why are you so forgetful?"

"I'm pretty good. You don't know, some singers sing their own songs, a good "Incomparable" concert, suddenly turned into "Incoherent"."

Hearing Xu Zhu's words, Zhang Mou asked curiously, "Who is it?"

"Ah~~~TIU~~~~~~" Jay Chou rubbed his nose in doubt.The weather is getting colder~.
After getting the final script of "Mountain Planting Tree Love", Xu Xin is also very satisfied with the quality, so he feels at ease in his heart.As for the next thing, Xu Zhu "almost" can say that he doesn't have to worry about it.

On the 18th, the media received the news.

"Xu Xin invited Zhang Mou to be the producer of the next film."

A piece of news appeared, like a swimming fish, its tail fin swayed, causing waves of ripples.At the same time, the reporters finally dug up the title of the film.

"Mountain Planting Tree Love".

A story about "Jing Qiu" and "Lao San" in a special era.Adapted from "Mountain Planting Tree Love" of the same name.

It doesn't matter who released the message.What matters is what it stands for.

In July, a young director who just made a movie worth 3 million yuan, is about to start preparations for a new movie!And the film prepared this time turned out to be a literary film telling a love story in a special era! ?

Is Zhang Yimou's disciple going to pay tribute to his teacher?Or is it for handing in homework?
So, who is the heroine?Or Yang Mi?
Just like how Zhang Yimou praised Gong Li, Xu Zhu wants to praise Yang Mi?
As a producer, what kind of tone and artistry can Zhang Yimou bring to this film?This became the main question of curiosity in many people's minds.

At the same time, "Three Shots" took advantage of this enthusiasm and began to strike while the iron was hot, and began to conduct pre-heating publicity before the movie was released.For a while, the popularity was even higher than "Mountain Planting Trees".

It belongs to stepping on the enthusiasm of "Mountain Planting Trees".

Although I don't know if it has been discussed, but I have to mention that this method is very clever! .
"Sister Wei!" National Center for the Performing Arts.

When Xu Zhu saw Wei Lanfang with long hair, he smiled and handed over his wedding invitation. "November 11th, Miss Wei, remember to bring a red envelope."

"You boy~"

Wei Lanfang shook his head helplessly with a smile on his face:

"They're all great directors, how can they still fall in love with me, melons and jujubes?" "No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat."

"I want to suffer you~"

"Hahahaha~"

Since the end of the Olympic Games, the director team has been gathering less and leaving more. It is naturally very happy to meet the old friends at this moment.After Wei Lanfang accepted the invitation, he opened it and looked at the date and content above, and sighed with some regret: "It seems that you and Mimi dated like yesterday, but now you have children. I haven't done anything yet." "What's the hurry? Isn't next year a good day?"

Xu Zhu said with a smile.Wei Lanfang nodded:
"That's right, but who knows when he'll be back?"

Wei Lanfang's boyfriend is from China State Construction Engineering Corporation, and he went to Africa to aid construction.The project won't be finished until next year, and the day of their wedding has also been chosen next year.

"It's never too late for a good meal.

Xu Zhu comforted her again.

Wei Lanfang nodded and asked, "Where are the others?"

"Everyone will come that day. Those who are in Yanjing will come, and those who are not here will try their best to catch up. I have been arranged in a big box, which can seat three tables." .”

Hearing this, Xu Zhu smiled and nodded: "Of course."

"Come on, I'll take you around inside? Haven't you been here yet?" "No"

"Walk."

Xu Xin followed Wei Lanfang to the National Center for the Performing Arts
But just two steps away, the phone rang.

After opening it for a glance, he connected the phone: "Hello?"

Sun Ting's voice sounded:
"Hey, Brother Xu, the script of "The Deal" has come out. Can I take it to the confinement center now?" "I'm at the National Center for the Performing Arts, where is Liu Yifei?"

"In Yanjing."

Send her the script, and I will ask her to have dinner with you in the evening, and you will come with me. ""OK."

After Sun Ting hung up, Xu Xin heard Wei Lanfang say:
"Okay, Xiao Xu. Even the fairy sister is in your pocket?" Xu Xin chuckled:
"Then look~ Shibie three days" "Yes."

Wei Lanfang nodded with emotion in his eyes.

The image of the two of them giving Xu Xin a badge when they met for the first time appeared in his eyes.From the bottom of my heart:
"It's really impressive~"
