I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 385 383. Mother Yang

Holding the vibrating phone, Xu Xin looked at it... and chose to connect.

"Hello? Director Zhang."

"Aren't you going to the Golden Horse Awards this time?"

Zhang Yimou asked directly when he came up.

"Well, if Yang Mi is going, I won't go. We both go, and there is no one around the child, so I don't feel at ease."

"That's it...that's fine."

Hearing his words, Xu Xin asked suspiciously:
"Do you have any plans?"

"Yes, I was going to let the selected children come over for an audition this week. Since you don't have time this week, I'll let them come next week."

"Well, that's fine. Let's arrange for next week. Yang Mi will leave tomorrow and come back on Sunday. I really can't go out these few days."

What the old man said was not to say that he was not confident in his casting, but that "Jinling" was made in the name of "Hawthorn Tree" after all, and his absence as a director was easy for people to see through.

After Xu Xin finished speaking, Zhang Yimou responded:
"Okay. Then next week."

"Well, did you watch yesterday's audition tape?"

"Look. Zhou Yuyu, you don't think about it anymore, do you?"

"Yes, although her natural temperament is not bad, it is a bit far from the Jingqiu in my heart."

"I know, Momo told me... That's it, I like this kid quite a bit. I'll take the crew of "Jinling". I won't mention the others after the overall audition over there. Jing Qiu and the third child, my suggestion for the role of the third child is to choose Dou Yao. Because he has a relatively strong sense of simplicity. For Jing Qiu..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yimou was silent for a while.

Seems like he can't make up his mind.

And Xu Xin also took advantage of this juncture to think about it, and said:

"If you want me to choose, I want to choose Liu Yifei."

"You have to think about the candidate for the third child. Dou Yao is very suitable for Jing Tian...you can understand the two of them as a pair. As for Liu Yifei, her kind of gentle fairy is very suitable for Lin Yuxin. "

"Yes, I think so too. So if I choose these two pairs, I will definitely come out together. There won't be a situation where I choose Jing Tian and Lin Shenxin. Because the two don't match well."

"It's up to you to decide. If you choose Liu Yifei, then you have to find a way to get rid of her fashionable atmosphere. It's best to spend a few months polishing this role, or you can bring a little Follow her."

"okay."

Xu Xin responded, but his eyes fell on the notebook in front of him again.

After thinking about it, he tentatively said:

"Three Shots..."

"You don't have to worry about these things, the important thing is to look forward."

"……it is good."

"that is it."

The phone hangs up.

Yang Mi, who listened to the two chatting from beginning to end, didn't care about "The Hawthorn Tree", but said:
"Then "Three Guns" looks like this, do you think Director Zhang feels uncomfortable?"

"..."

Xu Xin didn't say anything.

After staring at the content on the webpage for a while, I said:
"It doesn't matter. How are you doing? The movie is showing... right? If it's you, you'll be leaving tomorrow. Have you prepared everything you need?"

Hearing this, Yang Mi thought that he had started to be "unserious" when he woke up early in the morning, and pointed at the small refrigerator about the size of the bedside table in the corner with a speechless finger:
"Who do you look down on? There is enough for your daughter and son to drink for a month."

"...?"

Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, then said dumbfoundedly:

"Who told you this? I mean the acceptance speech or something..."

"Nope. It will be fine if I perform on the spot~ Isn't the award acceptance speech just posted casually? Thank you to the crew, thank you to the director, thank you to the fans, and thank you to the Golden Horse Awards. Isn't that okay? ?”

She looked indifferent.

Want nothing.

Anyway, I got a golden rooster, and by the way, I also checked the record of the youngest golden rooster queen.

It would be best to get the golden horse, even if you can't get it...that's not a pity.

Xu Xin sounded reasonable.

He has always been at ease when his wife is doing things.

Because the chain has never been dropped.

"Have you watched the video of "The Hawthorn Tree"? What do you think of our discussion just now?"

"I read the truth, but I didn't read the lie."

"...What is this saying?"

"Because it's difficult to choose, subjective factors, I definitely want to praise my family. But objectively speaking... the relationship between Jing Tian and you also symbolizes our father and her family. So I think choosing Jing Tian , it will help our family even more..."

"Can you stop being so realistic. What I make is film, art!"

"You can't eat art, baby."

"..."

Seeing Xu Xin who couldn't laugh or cry, she smiled and pinched her brother's cheek:
"So you see, it's hard to tell the truth. So... just pretend that I haven't read it... If you are really embarrassed, why don't you choose poems..."

"...I thank you!"

"Hee hee~"

……

As the saying goes, when a child travels a thousand miles, the mother worries, but the mother travels a thousand miles without worrying about the child.

This is not true at all.

At least for Xu Xin... that's the case.

My sister seems to really regard him as her son... It's not right, or she treats him as a worthless thing.

"Hey, let me tell you, don't be sorry for this milk. There is plenty of it. Don't freeze it when our child can't drink it. Do you hear me?"

"I know, how is it possible, it's so unhygienic."

"Also, the baby bottle has to be sterilized after one use, you know? And you have to be careful of the dog hair. Last time my dad brushed the baby bottle, there was a dog hair in it, which annoyed me to death!"

"Don't worry, I know."

"Also, this milk can be used at any time and warmed up at any time. Don't try to save trouble, take it out of the refrigerator before going to bed at night... That won't work, when the child is hungry, when to feed it! Do you know!"

"...Understood, you can rest assured."

"Then don't let Zizai and Niuniu go to bed! These two guys always want to squeeze into the bed these days!"

"……Row!"

"When you take your child out for a walk, remember to wear thicker clothes. You must wear cotton socks over the small socks, otherwise your feet will be cold..."

"……Um."

"and also……"

"Oh."

"Then……"

"..."

"right……"

"..."

"Remember...you're dumb!"

"Oh!!! Why are you so inked!"

Xu Xin looked at his virtuous wife with a face of "I'm very worried about you", full of impatience:

"I take care of children much better than you. How can I show you off? Leave quickly, and I won't be able to catch the No. [-] bus in a while."

After finishing speaking, he sat down on the sofa, took out a pack of Calbee's classic tomato flavor, and threw it in front of the two ignorant little guys on the climbing mat:
"A whole order of fries?"

"..."

Yang Mi's face immediately turned green.

And Xu Xin seemed to be ignorant, seeing that the two children hadn't moved:
"Aren't you coming? Then you two open it for me. Then what... second child, light a cigarette for Dad."

"...you surnamed Xu, go to hell! Hey! Half-step Bengquan!"

"Hey ha ha ha ha... I'm just kidding with you... I'm so stupid, you really hit me!"

There are only moves in the legends of the rivers and lakes, and the moves that haven't been seen for a long time are used on Xu Laopi again.

But anyway, mother should go or go.

He took the suitcase and got into the car.

But the two children didn't feel anything.

In the past two months from birth to the present, Mom and Dad have always been by their side, and the two children have nothing to worry about.

Anyway, Zaizai and Niuniu are here.

It doesn't matter if parents are there or not.

And Xu Xin picked up the computer, and checked the news of "Three Guns" online.

The Douban score... there should be no way to control it.It has dropped to 6.8.But the box office is doing pretty well, breaking through 2100 million on the first day.

Yes, you are not mistaken.

The old man raised the first-day box office of domestic films to an unreasonable position.

But Xu Xin, who had already tasted the first taste, was calmer this time.

Not very good.

It shows that the film market is getting better and better.

Although the evaluation on the Internet is still very bad...or so bad.

There is no one who does not scold.

The only thing that can be praised in the whole film is the old man's old profession.

The things shot from the location of Zhangye are indeed as beautiful as an oil painting.

But the rest is really gone.

But Xu Xin is quite happy...

Or in other words, it is happier.

Because the purpose of "Three Guns" has been achieved.

This movie is so bad... Maybe looking at it now, no matter how bad it is, it is still a movie that is sure to make money.

But according to a line in the script of "The Great Master", it is summarized that "one cannot only focus on the road ahead and forget the body behind".

Xu Xin was particularly touched by this sentence.

The Internet also has memory.

Regardless of how much money Zhang Weiping made through this movie... You know, in the early stage, it didn't matter whether it was Kaixin.com, or various banks and media companies.These publicity costs are all huge sums of money.

Even if the Internet has no memory, investors' money still has memory.

After this incident, even if the audience does not mention it, these investment companies must also understand one thing:

"Zhang Yimou also knows how to make bad movies."

You can call "Golden Armor" exaggerated, but it must not be called bad.

why?
Because the script of that movie is "Thunderstorm".

At most, when a one-sentence drama encounters a film and television adaptation, it is a bit unacceptable.

What's more, the global box office of "Golden Armor" is not a shame.

"House of Flying Daggers" is bad, but anyone can see that what the old man plays in "Heroes" is the concept of "politics" and "history".But "House of Flying Daggers" returns to the perspective of human nature.

It sucks, but at least in the early days of that commercial movie, it was tolerated.

Everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones to build a structure for domestic commercial films. These things are bound to happen.

But "Three Shots" is different.

From "Hero" to now, in ten years, Zhang Yimou should be very mature in commercial films.

Adding the name of the Olympic Games gave almost all investors a kind of blind trust in him.

And Zhang Weiping also used this trust to spread the marketing of the entire "Three Guns" from offline entities to online websites.

All the investors are waving their money, wanting a piece of the pie.

In other words, it doesn't matter even if this film suffers a little bit, as long as it can get new pictures and director Zhang, then it will be on the rise in the future.

But "Three Guns" taught everyone a lesson at this moment.

The old man is not a god, and he will make mistakes.

And once the concept of "God is also a man" is endowed commercially to New Picture Film and Television...whether it is Zhang Weiping or other investment companies.Everyone's rationality should return.

The scale of commercial value is again in the hands of New Picture and other investors.

No more leaning on one side.

The most straightforward truth.

In the future, Zhang Weiping still wants to find those media companies of the same type that should be competitors. It has become impossible to include them in his movies and get two shares of the money.

It's like the reason why you can only choose one investment in BAT.

Without that layer of undefeated golden body, don't even think about accepting the benefits of the three families.

In the future, investment companies will also take a more cautious attitude towards New Screen, a company with only one director, and will more carefully evaluate investment risks and commercial value.

Therefore, the failure of "Three Guns", from the perspective of insiders, can almost be said to be "discredited".

It's just that this loss of reputation is not so exaggerated, it just changes the new picture from a god to a human.

But this is what the old man wanted.

What he wants is for Zhang Weiping to return to the track where I make movies, you engage in business operations, and we don't interfere with each other.

The old man has already reminded you that this script is immature and not good enough, considering the friendship of friends.But you have to fight hard in order to make money.

As a result, the golden body is broken now, you, Zhang Weiping, should be sober if you treat the old man as a friend.

"Absolutely."

Every time he thought of the old man's intentions, Xu Xin would feel emotional.

Of course.

The film should be bad, or bad.

If you deserve to be scolded, you will still have to be scolded.

But no one stipulates that you can't be a turtle when you are scolded, right?
Didn't you see that the old man has stopped for the past two days?

……

The night of August 12st.

Lutheran United Senior Club.

"What's wrong? Too noisy?"

The crowd on the first floor was talking and chatting with each other, and there was also lyrical music playing. Everyone was bright and beautiful, and in the clubhouse full of handsome men and beautiful women, Wang Sicong went to sit on the sofa on the second floor, looking at a flower The peerless and isolated delicate rose, Yang Mi, who exudes the aura of "don't let strangers in" all over her body, asked.

Yang Mi nodded, and picked up the stainless steel thermos next to the champagne glass.

The flower tea she brought was brewed there.

"It's a little bit. I haven't been to this kind of place for a year or two. I came here suddenly. Seeing so many people, I feel a little uncomfortable."

"Tsk."

Hearing this, Wang Sicong simply sat down next to her, crossed his legs and shook, and said:
"You and Old Xu are absolutely perfect. He also has this kind of virtue. Last time he found a bar here to reserve a place, he was also on the second floor leaning on the railing and kept picking his ears and talking about making a fuss."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Mi pushed his upturned leg down:
"Why are you shaking your legs? Anyway, you are also a son, so be careful, and people must say that you are an upstart?"

"... Tsk tsk, you have caught up with my mother."

"I'll remember this. The next time I see Aunt Lin, I'll ask her what she thinks when she hears this."

"Haha~"

Wang Sicong was not afraid either, but his legs stopped shaking after all.

He leaned on the sofa and whispered:
"Hey, did you see that?"

Following the direction he pointed, Yang Mi glanced at it.

Silly and naive, Ah Jiao is talking and laughing happily with a man who looks to be in his 40s.

"What? Have an idea? ... Come on, isn't it dirty?"

Hearing Yang Mi's words, Wang Sicong rolled his eyes:
"What are you thinking? Look aside."

Following the position he pointed, Yang Mi continued to tilt her head, only then did she see that Lang Lang was chatting with a... girl with big breasts.

"Yo?"

She raised her eyebrows:
"Is the iron tree blooming? Who is that girl? She looks okay."

"I went to say hello just now, she seems to be called...Gong or something, but I watched the two of them chatting all night. I guess I saw the right eye..."

"Then you just pay attention. If it's true, call home for a meal and get to know each other."

As Yang Mi said, she turned her head left and right to look:

"Where are the wheels?"

"Jiang Yuchen is here...the two of them walked together, either to find a place to chat, or...maybe the old relationship will rekindle. Sigh..."

Speaking of this, Wang Sicong let out a long sigh:
"What do you think you are here... If Lao Xu is here, I can still let him be my wingman. If you are here, you say I have to help Lao Xu protect you, in case you meet someone who is not open-eyed Come here to disturb you, I have to be on guard...Really, can you let Lao Xu out next time? Our IGF4 doesn't fit well, and I can't even use my martial arts."

"Hurry up and pull it down."

Yang Mi sneered:
"What about IGF4... I'm not bragging, based on what I know about my brother, there may not be one person in your room who he can take a fancy to. I don't understand you guys yet? Give some sunshine and it will be brilliant~ man Say a few soft words and you'll be so coaxed that you won't be able to find Bei."

The voice fell, and the phone rang.

After glancing at the caller, she said:
"Okay, don't you think I'm bothering you, I'll just go."

"Eh? Don't, don't, you're just kidding, why are you so impatient? We promised Lao Xu to take care of you..."

"take care of me?"

Yang Mi was speechless:

"One didn't know if the old relationship with his ex-girlfriend had rekindled and went to the jungle, and the other met a large wave of zombies... the face looked like a knife had been used on the lips and nose. The other wandered around and found that he didn't meet the one he wanted. One-night stand... Everyone is a local fox, what are you talking about with me?"

She ruthlessly exposed the truth.

Wang Sicong who listened was disgusted:
"Why are you so ignorant? Can't you say that there is no one I like?"

"Cut~ Anyway, I won't accompany you guys anymore. Sister Bingbing is here, I'll talk to her about a TV series."

Saying that, Sun Ting appeared out of nowhere.

"Sister, are you leaving?"

"Well, go back to the hotel."

Yang Mi nodded, took the thermos cup and walked out.

But just after taking two or three steps, he suddenly turned his head:

"Whether it's you or the old wolf, tell him what I said in a while, calm down, do you hear me? There are a lot of scheming people here, especially after the party... It's okay to be hot in the body, but don't be hot in the head , I don’t know how many people are staring at you and people like him. Don’t make trouble for yourself, I won’t talk about it if you have experience, Old Wolf...you have to help him pay attention.”

Wang Sicong naturally knew what she meant.

indeed.

When it comes to women... the old wolf is weak.

If it really got to the top, it might not end well after ten months.

It's too easy to be taken advantage of by some whores in the colorful whores.

So nodded:
"Don't worry, I'll watch for him."

"Well...Of course, if it's really love at first sight, let's not talk so much. When we return to Yanjing, we will come to our house for dinner, and after a meal of wine, we can basically see what should be seen. La."

"Okay, Mama Yang, go slowly~!"

"Virtue ~"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes.

"Take care of yourself. When Xu Xin comes next time, you are taking him to see Lin Zhiling."

After finishing speaking, she led Sun Ting to the first floor on her own.

Wang Sicong didn't go downstairs either, just leaning on the railing with his hands, bent down to watch Yang Mi leave with a smile after being greeted by a group of people, and then waved to Juzi next to him.

Tangerine walked over quickly:

"President Wang, what's the matter?"

"Go and buy two boxes of Okamoto, unpack them and bring them here... Oh yes, and buy some powder."

"..."

Tangerine froze for a moment:
"powder?"

"Yes, it doesn't matter what it is, yeast, or milk powder, milk tea granules, even cumin powder, thirteen incense. As long as it is a small bottle and a small bag that is easy to carry, buy it for me .”

"What are you going to do?"

Tangerine looked really confused.

But Wang Sicong also knows that ordinary people rarely know what to do with this kind of thing.

But the problem is really explained... It's disgusting.

So just shake your head:
"Don't ask, just buy it."

"Ok."

Tangerine nodded and left quickly.

And he was standing on the second floor, his eyes fell on the old wolf who was still chatting with that girl named Gong.

Silently lit a cigarette, and after exhaling the smoke, he said in an emotional tone:
"Either Xu has cultivated blessings for several lifetimes... With Mama Yang, we all feel at ease in our hearts."

……

"Miss Bingbing."

"Hey, Honey."

Wearing a mask and a fisherman hat, Liang Bingning just entered the hotel lobby. After hearing the movement, she looked at the sofa in the waiting area and walked over with a smile.

And Yang Mi pointed to Yan Ni next to her:
"Sister Bingbing, this is my shopkeeper~"

Hearing this, without Yang Mi's introduction, Liang Bingning smiled and stretched out her hand:

"Sister Yanni, hello."

"Oh, don't be so polite."

Yan Ni shook hands with her, smiled and said:

"It's all a family... That's fine, Mimi, then you guys talk, I'll go up first."

"Hey, okay, shopkeeper. See you tomorrow~"

After waving goodbye to Yan Ni, Liang Bingning also instructed Yang Tianzhen to check in, and then took Yang Mi's hand affectionately:

"Where's Xu Xin? Didn't come?"

"No. What about watching the children at home?"

As she spoke, she observed Liang Bingning's thick dark circles, and asked with concern:
"The filming of "Sunshine Chongqing" is not over yet?"

"It's coming soon, it's estimated that it will be finished in another week... the state is very bad, right?"

Hearing this, Yang Mi said from the bottom of her heart:
"You have worked too hard this year."

Not caring or pity.

But pure emotion.

a year...

7 plays.

She felt her scalp tingling just thinking about it.

I don't know how Liang Bingning persisted.

Upon hearing this, Liang Bingning shook her head slightly:
"It's impossible."

Saying that, seeing that Yan Ni had already walked into the elevator, Liang Bingning asked:

"Didn't you say that there is a character looking for me? What play?"

"Suddenly I don't want you to act, Sister Bingbing."

"Ha~"

Liang Bingning couldn't help laughing out loud, and said:

"You can't take pity on me just because I'm a delicate flower~"

"Haha~"

The two were joking while walking towards the elevator.

"Tianzhen, just come and find me when you're done. Mimi, which floor is it?"

"908."

After telling Yang Tianzhen the room number, the two walked into the elevator together.

After entering the elevator, Liang Bingning whispered:
"Unexpectedly, I met two generations of girls in the same frame today."

"Haha~"

This stalk Yang Mi sounds really interesting.

Laughing and shaking his head:

"The shopkeeper came because of Guan Hu's "Bullfighting"."

"Oh~~ What's the matter with that character you mentioned?"

Anyway, there are no outsiders at the moment, so Yang Mi doesn't hide anything:

"Sister Bingbing, do you know Director Zheng Xiaolong?"

"Director Zheng? I know, why?"

Zheng Xiaolong is not an ordinary director, he has a pivotal position in the TV drama industry.

but……

"The Beijing circle's attitude towards you has eased?"

"It has nothing to do with the Beijing circle. He fell in love with the copyright of a book in my hand and wanted to adapt it into a TV series. Then there was a character in it. When Director Zheng saw the description of the character, he thought of you, Sister Bing Bing. Before When talking with me on the phone, we talked about this role...and Director Zheng knows about our relationship, so he wants me to ask Sister Bingbing."

"Well……"

Liang Bingning heard her explanation and asked:

"What's the name of this book?"

"The Harem: The Legend of Zhen Huan, an online novel. Have you read it, Sister Bing Bing?"

"No, I don't really read online novels... Is it Gongdouxi?"

"Yes, similar to Jinzhi Desire... Director Zheng likes it very much, and I especially like it."

"Then my role is..."

"A woman named Concubine Hua is Nian Gengyao's younger sister."

Upon hearing this, Liang Bingning instinctively responded to the dynasty.

But immediately frowned:

"Concubine Hua? I know this person. She seems to be Yongzheng's favorite concubine, right?... In my impression, the posthumous title she gave seems to be a very grand word..."

"Yes, Dunsu. But..."

When Yang Mi said this, after a pause, she said:

"But in this novel, Concubine Hua is a villain..."

"Not the protagonist?"

"One of the villains..."

"Uh……"

Liang Bingning, who was quite interested at first, suddenly lost her temper after hearing the word "one".

But she didn't say it directly, but asked:

"This play... you want to act?"

"I don't act... I don't have time to act in TV dramas."

she doesn't act...

Hearing this, the interest in Liang Bingning's heart decreased by three points.

But she still nodded:
"Have you brought the script? I'll read the script first..."

"The script hasn't been finished yet. When I was chatting with Director Zheng a few days ago, I came up with a general situation. After Director Zheng wanted to find you, Sister Bingbing, to play the role of Concubine Hua, I brought the complete novel of this play. Sister Bingbing take it back and have a look~ It’s really pretty.”

"no problem."

Regardless of what he thought in his heart, Liang Bingning agreed directly with a smile on his face.

But the interest in my heart is gone.

It's nothing more than a TV series, or a supporting role...

Her hard work this year will definitely usher in a blowout period next year.

Otherwise, hard work is tantamount to wasting.

During the blowout period, the team will begin to rapidly expand her commercial value.

At this time, play a supporting role...

That is, the relationship lies here.

Let alone Zheng Xiaolong, no matter which director came to find her, it would be impossible for her to play a supporting role.

But there is no way to say this.

Anyway, just look at the outline of the novel and the script.

Face must be given.

Just pass the time.
