I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 360 358. Getting Shot While Lying Down

Time went back six hours.

dinner time.

"This meal is becoming more and more unbearable."

With a bitter face, Yang Mi drank the pigeon soup that replenished qi and blood to the bottom, and then uttered a speechless moan to the five or six dishes on her dinner plate that contained shrimp, fish, and meat. sigh.

Upon hearing this, Yang Dalin said to his daughter angrily:

"Okay, what's the point here? Confinement meals are meant to be low in salt and oil. I've eaten them for a month, and I can't stand the confinement in a few days? You're talking about soup. 8 dishes with fruit, okay?"

"It's not impossible, I don't pick vegetables, I just mean the taste of this dish. It seems that after the confinement period, I feel that my mouth is very heavy. You also saw it at noon, the one I asked Xu Xin to buy Wan Lanla, you also said it was just right, and Xu Xin also said it was just right, so I don't think it tastes good..."

She continued to complain about the food.

But none of the chopsticks moved.

I can't help it, it's too light, I really can't swallow it.

Seeing this, Yang Dalin looked down at his lunch box...

Inside is garlic bacon fried by my wife, as well as cucumber slices and eggs.

In the past month, I have eaten all the meals nearby.

So Yang Dalin started to bring food to eat.

There's no way, I really can't get used to it.

No one can bear to eat fried noodles every day, especially when they are older, and the food outside is far worse than that at home.

But this bacon is so salty...

He was afraid that his daughter would eat it, and his granddaughter and grandson would get angry if they were breastfeeding.

But looking at her daughter's lack of interest.

The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, and he couldn't bear to do anything else.

After thinking twice, he handed over his lunch box.

"Eat less bacon, salty, children are easy to get angry."

"Hey, Dad is the best!"

Yang Mi happily took the lunch box, and handed her plate to her father:

"I don't eat pigeon meat."

Hearing this, Yang Dalin glared at her again.

"I still have to eat your leftovers?"

"I just drank the soup~ If you don't eat it, Xu Xin will eat it when he comes back. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste~"

While talking, she happily added a piece of fatter bacon.

Feeling the smoky and plump taste in his mouth, he nodded vigorously:

"Well, when his documentary begins to prepare, I will definitely recommend him to find a shot of bacon. Fat meat is so delicious..."

Just as he was talking, Ding Lingling's phone rang.

Yang Mi glanced at the caller and connected the call:

"Hey, Miss Zeng, what's the matter?"

"Mimi, people from Tang Dynasty sent me a business cooperation letter just now, and they want to invite you to be the spokesperson of a game called..."Fantasy Zhu Xian". The endorsement contract is 300 million a year, are you interested? It is said that the original cast of "Sword and Sword" received the invitation together."

When Zeng Jia was talking, she had already adjusted the phone to be hands-free and put it on the side of the table.

Eat and chat.

"300 million a year? Specifically?"

"A short advertising film, and a maximum of 8 commercial activities attended."

Hearing Zeng Jia's words, Yang Mi curled her lips:
"It doesn't sound very good. People from the Tang Dynasty said it was an overall invitation?"

"Yes. I don't know the specific price for the overall invitation. The price of 300 million is a high-end market. I think it's okay. The price of an online game endorsement is already top-notch in China. 8 events..."

"It has nothing to do with money, Sister Zeng."

Yang Mi said:

"When I'm out of confinement, I'm going to audition for a movie. If I pass the audition, I'm going to shoot it. If I don't get the audition, I have to prepare for the wedding. I have a lot of things to do. And Xu Xin is going to make a movie next year. He If I go out, I will spend more time with the children. Forget it, just refuse for me. "

"Uh……"

Hearing this, Zeng Jia was silent for a while, then said:

"Okay. Will you still accept online game endorsements in the future? Give me a price, so I can talk to them. And this year, your contract with the VS battle platform will also expire."

"Let's not accept it this year."

"...not answering?"

Hearing this, Zeng Jia was silent again, and then said:
"...Okay, then I'll reply to them."

"Yeah, then I'm hanging up and I'm eating."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Dalin, who was eating a confinement meal, said:
"It's fine if you don't pick it up, but playing games... After all, it's an online product. It's not a good thing to spoil other children."

"Uh-huh."

She didn't mean to refute what her father said.

Sometimes the generation gap of the times cannot be resolved by communication alone.

In the eyes of my dad's generation, online games are a bit of a plaything.

And the so-called "Internet luxury product" is not what my father said, but what those experts said.

It's a bit stronger now. The atmosphere in the past two years was as if playing games was some kind of mental illness.

Had to go to electrotherapy.

However, after hearing her father's words, she still wanted to complain:
"It seems that those who carried a tape recorder and danced DISCO in the square 30 or [-] years ago were not of your generation."

While thinking, she dialed Sun Ting's phone:
"Hey, Tingting, are you in the company?"

"Yes, sister, I just finished training."

"Well, have the people from the Ministry of Commerce left?"

"Hmm...Zhao Ziyi is still here."

Zhao Ziyi is the person in charge of the business operation department of Shuangwei Entertainment.

"Then you tell Lao Zhao that the business of online games will be suspended in the future and will not be accepted. Let him talk to the big guys tomorrow."

"Ok."

Sun Ting responded, and then added:
"Then do you want to talk to Sister Hua?"

"..."

Yang Mi thought about it and said:

"Okay, let me tell you. I won't accept the endorsement of online games for now, but it's not like I won't accept it forever. The trend changes every year, and I'll see the situation next year."

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Mi continued to eat.

In fact, she was greatly influenced by Yang Dalin when she ate.

Especially eating this kind of box lunch, the speed always seems to be very fast.

After all, since I was a child, I often hang out with my father in the unit. Those uncles eat very quickly, otherwise they may not eat a few bites, and if something happens in the jurisdiction, it will take a long time to leave.

It is also because of this that at least five to six out of ten people in the old police have stomach problems.

There is no time for dinner, so I have to speed up.

And just after eating a lunch box of bacon and fried garlic sprouts, suddenly, the phone rang again.

That is to say, the two little guys are at the nurse's station at the moment, otherwise, if they ring these two phones, they will have to be woken up.

Seeing the caller, Yang Mi answered the call:

"Hello, Miss Hua."

"Hey, honey, have you eaten yet?"

"Just put down the chopsticks~"

"Yeah, eat more. At this time, don't try to maintain your figure. Bao Ma's nutrition is the most important thing."

In fact, here is more or less the difference between her and Zeng Jia.

Zeng Jia is directly talking about business.

But Wang Jinghua chose the care that can be spoken even if it is nonsense.

To put it bluntly, there are no pros and cons.

The way things are done is different.

But listening to my heart is much more comfortable.

After a word of concern, she said:

"Mimi, I heard from Tingting that you want to suspend your online game endorsement business?"

"Correct."

"Can you tell me the reason? Celebrity endorsement in the online game market is a business that has just emerged this year. Although the price is not as high as those traditional advertisements, the advantage is that the funds are in place and there are fewer trivial matters. Moreover, the influence of celebrity value Hook up. If the game data of the endorsement is good, it will be very helpful to raise your own value. It is a piece of soil worth cultivating."

She stated her point of view first.

Yang Mi also knows the truth of what she said, but she understands it...

"Sister Hua, just now I got a contact from Sister Zeng. It was sent by Tang Ren, saying that it is a game of "Perfect World", called "Fantasy Zhu Xian". I paid 300 million yuan for an advertisement, not more than 8 events a year..."

""Perfect World"..."Fantasy Jade Dynasty", right? Perfect is also a big company, if you can take over, I think it's okay. Their financial resources are also quite strong, and the possibility of continuing to cooperate in the future is not ruled out..."

"That's what I said, but if I can get into the movie that I'm going to be busy with after confinement, then I must concentrate on filming. If I'm called to participate in an event at that time... then there will be a conflict. And If I'm not chosen, I have to prepare for the wedding. And... I think it's too cheap to endorse online games. Haven't you noticed? Then what... Sister Feng, Sora Kurai, and Sister Furong are all endorsing online games..."

"I understand."

Wang Jinghua understood Yang Mi's meaning in seconds.

"Indeed, if you can maintain a high level, the next step is to wait for you to come back and operate slowly, and to operate towards high luxury. The influence will be much greater than these. Well, then I understand... then can I contact you ?”

Just like she understood Yang Mi, Yang Mi also understood her meaning in seconds.

So he said apologetically:
"Forget it, Sister Hua. It's not that I'm busy, the main thing is that the original cast of "Sword and Sword III" was invited..."

"Alright, then I'll pretend I don't know about it."

"Yeah, I'm sorry, Sister Hua, I don't want to be stabbed in the back."

"I understand. The game endorsement side...why don't you stop? There is an offer sent to you over there. If you are not interested, you can forward it to me. My side..."

"no problem."

Yang Mi readily agreed:

"Then I will talk to Tingting."

"Well, besides, I'm also helping baby or Baozi to find a suitable business. I won't think about Liu Yifei for now. I'll talk about it after Xu Xin brings her back from the film festival, how about it?"

"Mmm Good."

After a few words, the two completed a round of exchange.

After exchanging a few pleasantries and hanging up the phone, Yang Mi heard her father say:

"This Wang Jinghua seems to be much more professional than Zeng Jia, right?"

"It's more professional, more, more, more..."

Yang Dalin rolled his eyes instantly:

"You talk too much!"

"Hehe~"

Yang Mi shrugged:

"The main reason is that she knows how to measure and has a more delicate mind, so she is quite comfortable to get along with."

After finishing speaking, she buckled the lunch box:
"Daddy~ I want to eat fruit~"

"..."

Yang Dalin was speechless.

I glanced at the fruit platter in front of me, bananas, dragon fruit, oranges, cantaloupe, kiwi...but there were no apples.

"I am your father, not your servant!"

"Daddy~~~~~"

Yang Dalin, whose bones were crisp in an instant, was helpless.

have to.

Just such a girl.

Be pampered.

……

It's almost 1 o'clock in the morning.

Xu Xin dragged his exhausted body back home.

But instead of going to the master bedroom, I opened the door of the guest bedroom. After seeing my father-in-law snoring inside, I thought that my mother-in-law should be in the master bedroom.

This should be because the old couple didn't dare to leave before they came back.

Without making a sound, he took off his shoes and left the room again.After washing his face in the public bathroom, he rubbed his eyes vigorously.

After staring at the TV all day, watching the picture quality of that DV, he also felt very uncomfortable.

Now my eyes feel dry and astringent.

When I got back, the pharmacy was still closed.

I can't even buy eye drops.

After flushing with cold water for a long time, he felt that the dryness faded slightly before he returned to the room.

He yawned twice in a row, leaving some tears in his eyes, then lay down on the sofa and closed his eyes.

The eyes are more comfortable after dawn.

It's just that when I wake up in the morning, there is a lot of eye mucus.

And... that dry feeling still exists.After all, it was only less than 8 o'clock, and it was the biological clock that set it up for him.

He really didn't sleep long.

Chatted with Yang Mi about the results of the audition last night. After breakfast, he went out to the pharmacy and bought a bottle of anti-fatigue eye drops. After taking two drops, he felt better, and then went directly to Zhang Yimou’s house. .

But when he came to the old man's house, he found that he was already awake.

Sitting in front of the TV in the living room.

"You woke up so early?"

Zhang Yimou turned his head and glanced at him, and said:

"Why are your eyes red?"

Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, then tentatively replied:
"Rejuvenated?"

"..."

Zhang Yimou ignored him, but just stared at his self-defeating face.

"Tsk... I stared at the TV for a long time last night."

Xu Xin looked around:
"Where's Miss Mo?"

"Still sleeping... You came just in time, look at her."

Zhang Yimou said while holding the remote control to start rewinding.

Soon, I came to the camera of a girl.

Click to play:

"Hello Director Xu Xin from the crew of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", my name is Ni Ni, I am 20 years old, I am 170 cm tall, I have type AB blood, and I am a third-year student from Nanguang College of Tianchao Communication University...Uh...I am Nanjing native... is currently a national second-level swimmer, and has also won the JS Provincial International Ballroom Dancing Championship. The following is my talent show~"

After the girl finished talking nervously to the screen, some noisy dance music sounded from the TV.

The girl with 170 heads, tall legs and long legs stepped on the beat and danced a Latin dance.

After about a minute or so, Zhang Yimou pressed the pause button:
"what do you think?"

"..."

Xu Xin didn't speak.

After dripping his eyes with eye drops, he blinked and planned to continue watching.

But the eye drops seemed a little irritating, making him squint his eyes.

And the residue of the eyedrops on the eyelashes made him have that kind of blurry spot when he watched TV.

Subconsciously, he closed his eyes again.

And after he closed his eyes, in a blur of residual vision, a picture flashed in his mind... No, it's not appropriate to say the picture.

It should be said that it is an image.

Slender eyebrows, red lips, and a slim figure wrapped in a cheongsam...

"Zhao Yumo?"

One sentence blurted out.

"Oh?"

Zhang Yimou's eyes lit up:
"You also think she looks like Zhao Yumo?"

"Ah."

Xu Xin nodded, recalling the vague feeling in his mind, and said:
"Beauty is in the bones, not in the skin. She is very similar to Zhao Yumo's description. She has a sense of style and arrogance. It's very good. Do you think so?"

"Ah."

Looking at the girl on TV, Zhang Yimou nodded:

"Indeed, her beauty lies in her bones, not in her flesh. She is very vivid...and she is a student of Nanguang University, not someone without background."

Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

"I think it's okay, let her be on the list?"

"Row."

After Zhang Yimou took another careful look, he said:
"I also think it's a good seedling."

"Then if you say that, I have to ask Yang Mi to contact you."

"..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yimou was speechless for a moment:

"Co-authored me to cook another pot of food for you?"

Xu Xin chuckled:
"You gave it to me. If she is really good... how can I not eat it? Besides..."

He was also staring at the girl named "Ni Ni", and nodded slightly unconsciously:
"Indeed, she has a high-end look. She is suitable for heavy makeup. Don't look at her without makeup now, it looks a little wide between the two browbones... But as long as the eyebrows can be drawn out, they will look good. This girl is really good, It's amazing."

"Ah."

What Xu Xin said touched Zhang Yimou's heart.

but……

"Don't touch her yet."

"I know that. When you have found all the actors and started the training stage, you must come here then? I'll just let Yang Mi get in touch."

"Row."

Zhang Yimou nodded and continued to press the play button.

This time, many people went to the working group in Nanjing.

Even including some children from Nanjing who are studying in other places, Pang Liwei asked people to collect as many girls as possible that fit the appearance description in the original "Jinling".

Heavy workload.

But the advantage is that the old man knows many people.

Moreover, although "The Hawthorn Tree" is a literary film, it has Xu Xin's name, which is much louder than other directors' literary films.

What's more, the two are a "strong alliance".

So schools all over the world are very cooperative.

Just for the audition tapes of "Jinling", I have collected 12 tapes this month.

But that's certainly not all.

After all, there are so many people in Nanjing.

However, the audition time for "The Hawthorn Tree" is limited after all, and it will be delayed until the end of the year at the latest, so people must be found.

It seems that time is rich, but it is actually quite tight.

The main reason is that the old man's request is too persistent.

In order to present that painful scar, he insisted on using local actors from Nanjing.

And since he insisted, Xu Xin will accompany him.

What else to do...

……

"Honey."

"Hey, Sister Hua, tell me."

"There's something I need to tell you."

"You say it."

Yang Mi is a little curious:

"What's the matter?"

"As for the game endorsement of "Fantasy Zhu Xian" that I got from you a few days ago, do you still remember?"

"Well, what?"

"Has Tang Ren contacted you?"

"Tang people?"

Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, and she became interested:

"No, why contact me?"

"It's like this. Didn't you let me participate? I didn't ask. However, a few days ago, someone took the initiative to find me. Mr. Xie from Star City."

"Star City?"

Yang Mi was taken aback, and blurted out a sentence:

"Huo Jianhua?"

Star City is Huo Jianhua's agency.

Bend over there.

It's not a big company, but Huo Jianhua came out.

"Yes, the news I received from Mr. Xie was that the endorsement they were looking for this time was originally the original cast of "Sword and Sword III". However, Huo Jianhua was the first to be kicked out."

"..."

The corner of Yang Mi's mouth twitched.

Subconsciously asked:

"Isn't it related to my refusal?"

"Correct."

"..."

Yang Mi was speechless for a moment, and said:
"What do you mean? You can't do it without me?"

"You can think of it this way. People are targeting Hu Jia and you. At first they wanted you and Hu Jia to be the endorsers alone. Later, the Tang people took Hu Jia to fight for it. They said that they wanted to endorse, which was the entire crew. In the end...you refused. As soon as you refused, Tang Ren kicked Huo Jianhua out of the game, and Mr. Xie found me. He asked me if I want to cooperate, which means put Huo Jianhua with me, learn from Bingbing, and jointly establish a studio."

For Huo Jianhua, Yang Mi doesn't care... although these words are very cold-blooded.

But everyone's friendship is limited to one work.

She is someone who has a partner and a husband, so is it possible that she will develop a confidant?

Then no fryer?
What's more... Ever since the night when her brother came to visit the set, she had been trying her best to distance herself from all the male members of the "Sword and Sword III" crew.

Don't dare to cause family discord because of a drama.

It's so easy to catch a good husband, why make yourself uncomfortable?

Therefore, she really didn't care much about how Huo Jianhua was doing.

What she cares about is Liu Zhishi:

"Sister Hua, what do you mean, Tang people still want to find me?...Why are they looking for me? Even Huo Jianhua has gone out."

"Because of the quotation. The people from Interstellar City asked me to cooperate, so I made some suggestions for "Fantasy Jade Dynasty". As a result, the news I found out was that with your quotation and without your quotation, it is completely a heaven and an underground. People are perfect. Not stupid... Tang Ren’s intention to push people is too obvious. They stuck Tang Ren’s neck in order to attract fans of the original novel "Zhu Xian" of "Fantasy Zhu Xian."

"They have tasted the sweetness of adaptation."

"correct."

Wang Jinghua was not surprised that Yang Mi could figure this out.

This girl's brain...

Ordinary people can't compare.

But Yang Mi thought for a while and said:
"So, even if the people of Tang Dynasty offer a cabbage price, they still have to pay for it in "Fantasy Zhu Xian"?"

"That's right. Besides, I've already got the price list."

"How many?"

"Excluding you and Huo Jianhua, the sum of Hu Jian, Liu Zhishi, and Tang Yan in "Sword and Sword III" is 200 million."

"..."

Hearing this, Yang Mi was silent, speechless, and even more headache.

Her headache was not others, but Liu Zhishi.

This trick is perfect, it's amazing.

Guess you Tang people want to eat fans of "Zhu Xian", so I gave a price that can really be called the price of cabbage.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about Hu Jian, as a male and female protagonist, his price must be at least the same as his own, right?

But now?

200? ? ?
And the rest of the people are really equivalent to giving away for nothing.

No, it's not a free gift, it's simply a waste of money.

Because the money is still pre-tax.

Maybe the perfect person has to ask the Tang people for tax rebates.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help asking:

"Can the Tang people agree?"

"I don't know about that. That's why I asked Tangren if he was looking for you. After all, if you want to make money, the only way is to find you. If you don't look for you, it's only 200 million... Even if Tangren thinks it's worth it, it's still worth it." You have to ask Hu Jian what they think, are you right? Artists are human too, and they don’t make money to work for the company? It’s unrealistic. So, you are the solution to that dilemma~”

"..."

Yang Mi said dumbfoundedly:
"So, after all, I was involved? What am I? I was shot while lying down?"

When the voice fell, two "didi" sounds came from the phone's microphone.

Yang Mi turned on the hands-free, switched the screen to see...

"Miss Hua."

"what?"

"Shishi sent me a message, asking why my phone has been busy."

"Uh……"
