I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 407 405. How many and how many

"..."

Walking out of Cai Yinong's office, Li Minnian's eyes fell on the pot of green plants on the side of the corridor, feeling that the gladiolus green was a little dazzling for no reason.

Frozen for half a year.

This is... Liu Zhishi's punishment for not accepting this advertisement.

In fact, logically speaking, this punishment is nothing at first glance.

This year's Spring Festival begins in February 2010, the 2th is New Year's Eve, and the 13th is the Spring Festival.And according to the most general calculation, after the 14-day solar term is over, it will be March.

And "Pandaren" started filming one after another after the New Year's Day in January, followed by the Chinese New Year, and continued shooting after the Chinese New Year.

The current shooting cycle is about 50 days in total.

Calculated from year to year, maybe Shishi is busy, and it will be May.

The so-called half-year punishment is until July.

It's nothing more than two months without work.

But the reality is quite the opposite.

The artist's activity cycle and activity plan are quite... How should I put it, it can't be said to be precise, but it must be operated efficiently.

The connection of each job cannot be said to be seamless, but at least it must be guaranteed that there will be no interruption.

Launch a film and television drama this month, participate in some program next month, and shoot some magazine in a few days.It is the best solution to always keep the artist active in the eyes of some people, a little bit of familiarity.

After all, not everyone has the qualifications to be remembered from the beginning of their debut...

And speaking of this, he thought of Lin Juxin for no reason.

This young man is really lucky... Since his debut when he was unknown, a "brother" from netizens gave him the capital to be remembered...

And Shishi has been remembered from her debut...or in other words, the only thing that is remembered at present is a nightshade.

Comparing the two, it is really a heaven and an earth.

And after getting the lead role in "Pandaren", she was finally able to jump out of the company's film and television works and start to gain fan recognition in other aspects... As a result, Mr. Cai actually asked her to stop working for half a year.

Isn't this nonsense!

Regardless of the quality of the episodes of "Pandaren", Jay Chou's fans are real!
At this juncture, stop Shishi from working for half a year?
Doesn't that mean the movie was shot for nothing?

Originally, it was working well, but at that time, Shishi can completely stir up the popularity, use the panda man as a springboard, and let more traffic parties notice her!
But now the work is stopped, and the resources are out of stock... What should I do in the future!

Thinking of this, Li Minnian couldn't help but sigh.

Eyes full of sadness.

In fact, this matter is also his fault.

Because he was the one who told Shishi about "Fantasy Zhu Xian".

Otherwise, that girl who doesn't like to compete with others wouldn't think so much at all.

And the reason why he told Shishi was actually because he wanted to sell Xu Xin and Yang Mi as a good couple.

In his imagination, Yang Mi may not look down on these millions, but "Sword and Sword III" itself is one of her own cakes, and now it is only natural to come here to offer her mouth.

And when the cake got into her mouth, leaving a mouthful of sweetness, she also had to think about how the cake got in.

With this kind of love, and the relationship between Shishi and her, if Director Xu has any dramas, he will give more consideration to Shishi.

Little by little, wouldn't the poetry market be opened up?

The hotter Shishi became, the more money he made himself.

Although Cai is always Shishi's number one manager in name, in fact, from her debut to now, she has taken care of everything by herself.

Who wouldn't wish that he could bring out a few more popular artists and make himself famous in the agent circle?

Or in other words, who wouldn't want to be the second Jinghua Wang?

Now he is under Tang Ren's command, and his income is nothing more than 40 to [-] a year.

But if it is done well, it will be one or two million, or even several million dollars!
Who doesn't think more about themselves?

So, he told Shishi the news, and Shishi told Yang Mi... But after all the calculations, he didn't calculate that there would be such a consequence in the end.

For a moment, the bitterness in his mouth became even worse.

And he also understands Mr. Cai's thoughts very well.

No matter whether the quality of "Pandaren" is successful or not, Shishi's attention will definitely rise to a higher level.

At that time, when the vast number of jobs are found, she is in the stage of being hidden, and she feels the loss of missing fame, and her spirit is suppressed, so she will be obedient...

But the problem is...

You only signed a 5-year contract!
It's not like signing for ten years.

You can pinch it however you want.

This girl... is a stubborn one!

If she really has such a strong sense of professionalism, why wait until now?Why not accept this ad?
If she really hides in the snow for half a year, she can't wait to go home and sleep every day.

By the way, I can also do myopia surgery...

Think of this...

"Ugh……"

He let out another long sigh.

After thinking...

Forget it, let's not talk to Shishi about this.

Let her make "Pandaren" honestly.

Let's talk about other things after "Pandaren" is finished.

……

"Sister Bingbing~~"

At the gate of Shijia Hutong, Yang Mi looked at Liang Bingning who got out of the car, resisting the feeling of...uncomfortable guilt in her heart, and called out sweetly.

"Ai."

Liang Bingning responded with a smile, and gave instructions to Yang Tianzhen who was at the side:
"Bring everything in."

"Okay, ma'am."

Then, Liang Bingning took Yang Mi's arm affectionately:
"Hurry up and get in the house, it's so cold outside, what should you do if you catch a cold~"

"Uh……"

For no reason, Yang Mi's goosebumps started to pop out.

In fact, it was fine before.

She is quite normal.

But ever since...the couple figured out something, she felt guilty when she saw Liang Bingning...not right, not because she felt guilty when she saw the other party, but because she felt guilty every time she said "Sister Bing Bing".

False powerful.

As if taking advantage of others.

But she didn't show it. After the two entered the room together, Liang Bingning took off the wool cap on her head and looked at the two children who were struggling to move their legs on the climbing mat...

"Yeah, is this starting to turn over?"

"I'm practicing now. Didn't you see that the back of your head is bald? I've been arching around in the past few days, and I guess I'll learn it soon."

"It's so good~"

Liang Bingning's eyes were full of joy.

Sitting on the climbing mat, ignoring the two dogs, after pinching Nuannuan's little feet, he asked:

"Where's Xu Xin?"

"I'm sleeping in the house. I went to Brother Qian'er to play at noon and drank some wine. I guess it's late at night. I called him just now, and asked who was coming. I said that after my sister came, He waved his hands and fell asleep again."

Handing the teacup to Liang Bingning, Yang Mi also sat on the climbing mat and explained.

Hearing this, the smile on Liang Bingning's face became more natural.

Under normal circumstances, when guests come to the house, both the host and hostess must come to greet them.

But that would mean that guests are just "guests".

But what Yang Mi said was just like the relationship between relatives and friends at home.

Don't treat yourself as a guest when you come.

This attitude is obviously much more comfortable for Liang Bingning than treating herself as a guest.

Then, Yang Tianzhen walked in, with the same big and small bags in her hand:
"Sister Mi, the collagen supplement that sister bought for you..."

"Hey, okay, put it over there. I won't serve you, just be more casual."

Hearing this, Yang Tianzhen responded with a smile, put all the things on the table, and sat aside silently.

And Liang Bingning said:
"Have you read all the news?"

"Looked."

Yang Mi nodded:
"But I think it's pretty quiet today. Isn't there nothing going on with Zhang Ziyi? Both sides are suppressing influence and downplaying influence."

"Ah."

Liang Bingning responded and said:

"But this matter should not be over yet..."

"It's definitely not over. Zhang Ziyi has reached the edge of the cliff. Whether she spit out what she ate, or what... She has to explain. But we can't get to know this kind of thing in depth, it seems like I really like to inquire about it... Miss, what do you think?"

"I do not have!"

As soon as Yang Mi said this, Liang Bing shook her head like a rattle.

That reaction can be said to be great.

"I didn't..."

Speaking of which, she paused...

Rarely, in front of Yang Mi, she showed a little fragile taste:
"To tell you the truth... When I saw the news last night, I was really scared to death."

One word is full of joy.

The woman who had slept for nearly a day and came to the Xu family first thing after waking up seemed to be revived at this moment. Fortunately, there was still a disturbing fright in her.

Facing these words, Yang Mi smiled and shook her head:
"There's no need to..."

As she spoke, her tone was full of hidden pauses.

If not smell.

Then came a sentence:
"Xu Xin loves you so much... That afternoon, we were at Aunt Zhao's. I mentioned Zhang Ziyi twice, and after seeing Aunt Zhao's attitude, as soon as you called, Xu Xin told me, "Don't worry. How about it, you have to pull Sister Bingbing out. Others can't protect you, he will come!... Sister, you can rest assured, if something happens, we will be there!"

"..."

After Yang Mi said this, Liang Bingning's lips pursed.

then……

Her shoulders just slumped.

Sitting on the climbing mat, leaning against the sofa, she didn't know how to answer Yang Mi's...too warm concern.

I was moved in my heart, and there was a strange burning...

There is also a kind of shame in the heat.

Unconsciously, her hand touched Zaizai who was lying next to her and watching TV.

She touched the position of the dog's leg.

Zizai turned his head subconsciously.

Some are not happy.

This place is close to the belly, except for the family members who can trust it, no animal likes to be touched.

As a result, as soon as he turned his head, he felt the eyes of the hostess.

That look has a meaning:
"Don't move, let her touch it!"

"..."

The humane German Shepherd grunted and lay down again.

That's it.

touch it.

Anyway, you're more of a dog than me.

"call……"

Touching the furry warmth, Liang Bingning exhaled the last trace of coolness from her mouth.

With a wry smile:
"Mimi...it's too difficult."

"...?"

Under Yang Mi's puzzled eyes, the woman who can almost be said to have set off a new model in the entertainment industry shook her head with fragility, expressing her helplessness:

"I used to work for others... people said that I was the life of a maid all my life. I refused to accept it, and I wanted to be my own boss. But after I became my own boss, I realized... I really have to be careful every step of the way. Inadvertently...just like this time. Once you have an inflated thought that shouldn't be raised...really...that kind of...the cold feeling that the knife is on the neck...ah."

"...It's all like this."

Although what Liang Bingning said was a bit messy, Yang Mi understood what she meant:
"Sister, how old are you? Everyone is bad now, and no matter how hard you try, you can't prevent it. So the more you become a boss, the more cautious you have to be. If I hadn't been helped by Xu Xin... I might have been here long ago." You can't get along in this circle."

"You're much smarter than me."

"Don't. I'm stupid...hehe."

"……what."

Seeing her eccentric appearance, Liang Bingning chuckled lightly, and at the same time, her heart was full of emotion.

Because she didn't tell a lie.

Mimi is indeed much smarter than herself.

This is the conclusion she came to after the nearly two-hour phone call with Mr. Xu last night.

According to Mr. Xu, his daughter-in-law... was really found only after the old Xu family's ancestral grave smoked.

Zhishu Dali didn't mention anything.

The most important thing is that kind...according to Mr. Xu's words, it is "exactly the same as when you were young".

Being able to make Mr. Xu say this, in itself, represents her ability.

Not to mention the phrase "there's not much I can teach her in the past two years".

Famous teachers produce outstanding apprentices...

It's really not that simple.

With emotion, she thought for a while, chose to go beyond this topic, turned her head and said:
"That's right. I've finished reading the book you recommended to me."

"Is it "Zhen Huan"?"

"Yes, I've finished watching all of them... Do you want to play Zhen Huan in this drama?"

"No acting."

Yang Mi shook her head:

"The cycle of TV dramas is too long. I may mainly make movies in the future. It takes three to five months for TV dramas, which is too long."

"Then who do you want to push for this role?"

"do not know."

Yang Mi still shook her head:

"I've talked with director Zheng about this novel, and he won't interfere too much with his casting. He was afraid that I would throw a bunch of actors indiscriminately, so I agreed to him. Who he wants to choose, we all discuss it. "

"Zheng Xiaolong's words..."

Liang Bingning thought for a while and said:
"Let's put it this way, I want to play Zhen Huan."

"Uh……"

Yang Mi was stunned.

"Play Zhen Huan?"

Liang Bingning nodded:

"Yes. Of course, I will do this job. I have also dealt with Director Zheng, and we both have mutual friends. At first I thought you were going to act... If you wanted to act, then I will honestly give it to you. You match..."

"..."

As soon as this attitude was shown, Yang Mi was a little speechless.

It's not that the other party is courteous.

But more empty-hearted.

I said in my heart that it is not certain which of us will be "big" and who will be young.

How dare I...

But Liang Bingning didn't know what was going on in her heart, so she continued:
"But if you don't want to act... the quality of this book is good, really. Director Zheng can seem normal~ If you don't recommend a heroine, or if you want to play it yourself, then I will fight for it with Director Zheng .How about it?"

"I have nothing to say..."

Yang Mi really has no idea about the drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Looking at the people in the company, Liu Yifei is actually the only one who can say that he can hold the heroine.

But the problem is that Liu Yifei has already decided to play Hawthorn.

The schedule is definitely not open.

She doesn't plan to act... She has already planned to take her children back to her hometown in northern Shaanxi for a while next year.

The first thing for the children is to pick up the "earth energy", and the second is to quickly shoot "Burst".

This play...is my husband's painstaking effort.

Let alone a few months, or even a year or two, she felt it was worth it.

And right now, since Sister Bingbing wants to act, let's act.

"What are you going to say to Director Zheng? He asked me to contact you, mainly because he thinks you are suitable for Concubine Hua..."

"We are easy to chat. We are familiar with people like him and Zhao Baogang. I mean, he chooses actors because of his acting skills rather than his eyes. I am quite confident~"

"Sister Bingbing is too awesome~"

"Haha~"

While the two were chatting and laughing, suddenly, the bedroom door of the guest room was opened.

Xu Xin walked out with two swollen eyes.

After seeing the two of them, they greeted each other casually:

"morning."

"Why are you awake?"

Hearing Yang Mi's words, Xu Xin went to the tea stand to get some water and said:

"Sister Bingbing, I can't sleep all the time... Oh, it's really uncomfortable."

Talking, looking up ton ton ton~
After drinking thoroughly, she staggered and sat on the sofa:

"what's the topic?"

"Talk about The Legend of Zhen Huan."

"Oh~"

Xu Xin yawned casually and said:
"Ha... well, has director Zheng invested in that drama yet?"

Yang Mi nodded:
"It came out. The estimated budget is 7000 million to 500 million."

"...?"

The moment she heard this number, Liang Bingning was taken aback:
"so tall?"

Yang Mi responded:
"Well, the script of this drama has been roughly divided, and it has reached 60 episodes. Isn't it being subdivided, and it is estimated to be at least 70 to 80 episodes. The main reason is that Fu Huadao, Director Zheng likes to dig out details... We had a phone call a few days ago, and he said that it would be about this price..."

"With an investment close to [-] million, make a TV series..."

Liang Bingning frowned.

"Is the risk too high?"

"She likes it."

Xu Xin said something casually.

Show your true nature as a doting wife.

My daughter-in-law likes it, and the stars in the sky are all taken off.

Seeing this, Liang Bingning couldn't say anything.

but……

"Then this play has to be done well."

"What operation?"

"Tax avoidance."

Seeing that Xu Xin didn't seem to understand, Liang Bingning said:

"Use some means to avoid taxes. Otherwise, it would be good if the 7000 million investment can accomplish 5000 million things~... Don't you know?"

"?"

Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, then asked in bewilderment:
"What do you mean? How to avoid it?"

"..."

Seeing his reaction, Liang Bingning was speechless:

"You don't even know about this?"

"Uh……"

Before Xu Xin could speak, Yang Mi spoke first:

"Sister Bingbing, are you talking about the kind that prepares two contracts? The tax on the account is, for example, 100 million, and then I owe another contract privately. For example, my total film salary is 1000 million, but the tax declaration contract is only 100 million. , the rest of the money goes to private accounts..."

"Yes. That's it. In this way, if you go to talk to others, their salary can be reduced. After all, tax points must be considered."

"..."

All of a sudden, Xu Xin frowned.

"Isn't this legal?"

Liang Bingning nodded:

"I can't say it's illegal, it can only be said that it's a legal gap. Many people do this, otherwise you think about it... If you don't say anything else, just say Zhang Ziyi. Her revenue last year should be 600 for film and television. More than ten thousand, this is on the surface. If the 600 million plus film remuneration is taxed, the tax will be more than 500 million. It accounts for one-third of the total income at once..."

"But according to this method, she will get a lot more?"

"Yes, of course, I didn't mean she did this... I never said that. I just gave an example, many people come like this..."

"no!"

Before Liang Bingning finished speaking, Xu Xin directly denied this approach:
"It's so stupid. It's so stupid to walk around the gray area for this little money and put your own wealth and life into it."

"Uh... no, it's nothing... It's almost an unspoken rule, after all, the tax point is too high..."

"Miss Bingbing."

Seeing what she wanted to say, Xu Xin shook his head vigorously:

"Have you ever thought about it, in case, one day..."

He points to it:

"I feel that it is not allowed, and I suddenly want to catch a model, but this model is caught on you, what will you do?"

"...?"

Liang Bingning was taken aback.

"...Why did you arrest me?"

"Because your chicken is big enough for monkeys to see."

After all, it was small talk, so Xu Xin spoke more casually:
"Anyway, if I, for example, want to start rectifying things in this area, I will definitely start by grabbing top artists.

Set up a model, let everyone see the end, and then be obedient and honest.

Of course, I may say something one-sided, but the general reason is not wrong.Paper will never be able to cover fire... and if you earn a lot of money, it is actually just a number in the end.I don't think it's worth putting my life on for this string of numbers.

So... Although I have figured out how to play those things you mentioned, I think... there is nothing wrong with young actors doing this, because they want to save more money.With a herd mentality, maybe this knife will not reach their heads.

But the big tree attracts the wind, the more people in front, the more cautious their words and deeds... After all, things in this circle are like eating snakes. When a giant dies suddenly, what it leaves behind can feed many people.At that time, everyone wants you to die, but you really can't live. "

Looking at Liang Bingning who was frowning tightly, Xu Xin shook his head:
"In fact, it's the same as those Xiangjiang movies we watched. You will find that there is only one way behind the leading brother in all the movies, and that is to desperately clean himself up. After cleansing and successfully landing, everything will be fine. But if No whitewash... Then when the enemy came to the door, all the hard work would be in vain. Born in the Jianghu, died in the Jianghu.

Anyway, these things are very stupid for me.Not to mention paying 600 million taxes for 500 million.That is 6000 million to pay 5000 million in taxes, I still have [-] million, right?I can't afford to risk my own life because of this little money.

I won't ask you how to do it...but as a younger brother, I want to persuade you, sister Bingbing, don't take chances...it's unrealistic.Just imagine, in front of your current position, how many people are waiting for you to surpass, and how many people behind you want you to die. "

After using the units of "several" and "how much" to say an extremely cold fact, Xu Xin's words have successfully caused a real chill to appear on Liang Bingning's body.

In this bone-piercing cold, Xu Xin asked:
"Let's not mention how sharp a spear you have to make yourself if you want to continue to charge forward...Facing these people behind, if you don't make yourself an indestructible diamond, you must die a miserable death. Isn't it?"

Although Xu Xin hadn't thought about why such a topic suddenly came up.

But since the conversation has reached this point, he doesn't mind saying a few more words.

The tax issue... has always been a high-risk line for him.

There is no way, the coal kiln in my hometown produces black gold.

He has learned from his father since he was very young that everyone is innocent but pregnant with guilt.

And the more people in the old Xu family earn, the more the three of you can feel that the foundation of your feet is more important than the accumulation of wealth.

Shoes have to fit your feet so that you can wear them comfortably and go far.

Don't let a rat droppings spoil a pot of soup.

Compared with others, he actually didn't have to say so much.

Who lives and who dies is their own destiny.

If you have a problem with your thinking and you fall down in a certain place, it means that you yourself are incompetent, and no one else is to blame.

But this woman in front of me...

Different.

Or, at least after the night of the first two days, it was different.

Maybe I didn't care about it before.

But now...

No matter.

He is also afraid...

It's not that she knows the law and breaks the law, it's that if she and the old man are now disconnected or... sneak into the village, don't shoot...

At that time, the Goldlion in the old man's hand...

But it's really unscrupulous.
