I'm the director, I'm not bad

At almost 9 o'clock, the production team returned to Yuan'an County.Lived in the county hotel in Yuan'an County.

Everyone hadn't eaten dinner and looked hungry.

I don't plan to go far, so I plan to book a few rooms in the hotel for a meal.

The hot pot in Hubei is still delicious.

However, Hubei-style hot pot is not the kind of shabu-shabu, but the one with one pot and one pot.The taste is also great, and the body is warmed up in winter.

Because tomorrow I have to watch the filming location in the county, so no one drinks.

After everyone finished their meal, they disbanded.

But after Xu Xin finished eating, he called out to Zhang Mo: "Sister Mo, Brother Wang, Brother Xue, come to my room later.

"OK."

Wang Lei and Xue Yong nodded in agreement.

Soon, the three of them took the information at hand and entered many
Xin's room.

The things we talked about were actually about the setting of today.

We chatted for more than half an hour with the footage, script, and a series of manuscripts on Xu Xin's laptop.

Seeing that it was early 10 o'clock, Wang Lei and Xue Yong had finished their work.

"Brother Xingwang, Brother Xue, you guys rest first. Sister Mo, take out the sets of photos you took last time, and I'll look at them again."

"it is good."

Zhang Mo nodded and took out the USB flash drive.Wang Lei and Xue Yong didn't think much about it either.

The job of being a director, on the bright side, is nothing more than sitting in front of a monitor, watching the actors perform and checking the screen.But in fact, there are quite a lot of things to take care of in this job.

Meetings, staying up all night researching, and the like are perfectly normal.What's more, everyone in the factory knows the relationship between Director Xu and Director Zhang.

Although the two are lonely and widowed, their hearts are not that dirty.

After the two left, Xu Xin looked at the photos on the USB flash drive and lit a cigarette, but what he said had nothing to do with work:

"That's enough for today. Have you talked about this with Aunt Ting?"

"I said so."

Zhang Mo nodded while holding the teacup:
"This year's Chinese New Year, I chatted with Aunt Ting. When she was working at the household registration office of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, she had already gone to make up. But she still didn't want to embarrass my father. I repeatedly promised that Zhang Weiping would not know about it. Yes."

"That's fine."

Xu Xin felt more at ease in his heart:
"During the Chinese New Year, I asked my dad. He made a special trip to Nanjing a few years ago and went there in person. He made an appointment with a few people and met a few people. But he didn't mention the old man's name directly, so he just talked about the situation. It's ok, pretty optimistic."

"That's good""

Zhang Mo also seemed relieved.

"but."

Xu Xin waved her hand to signal her not to worry:
"Sister Mo, the help is definitely not for nothing." Zhang Mo was taken aback.

"Then what should we do?"

"People didn't say it, but we have a steelyard in our hearts.

I looked at it during the Chinese New Year, and things are actually easy to operate.First of all, Wuxi has a film and television base, "Lan Guo",

"Water Margin" and "Journey to the West" were filmed there.

"I know that, the batch of top TV dramas back then were produced there.

"Yeah, but it's a bit down now. In fact, there are some things you can do for you not to gain any direct benefits, but to
"that."

It's like a student interrupting a teacher's conversation.

Zhang Mo "raised his hand" speechlessly and said:
"Just say what you need to do, I am dizzy hearing these things."

"Talk to the old man that it would be best if "Jinling" can be shown in Wuxi. If it can't be shown, it should be put in some film and television bases in Jiangsu. And some of my follow-up works will also be selected in those places. The next paragraph time, if that

While inviting some activities and the like, don't refuse.In the latter part, we will see that the feelings are mutual. "

He gave a plausible example.But Zhang Mo understood.it's actually really easy.

It's just "cooperation".

The appearance of a city, the development of tourism resources, the well-known
Degree, etc., are all considerations for certain things.So she nodded:
"I understand."

"Well, then let's make a deal like this. The following things should all be over this year. After everything is dealt with, there will be no worries. But it's the same sentence. Secrecy is very important."

"Don't worry, I know what to do!"

Zhang Mo answered decisively.

On the ninth day of the ninth day.

The crew went back and forth to the filming locations in Yuan'an County.

It only took one morning.

Because when Xu Xin was in Qinglong Village yesterday, the old man had already helped him control the situation in the urban area.

Except for the disagreement between the two on the casting of "The Hawthorn Tree", other times they actually have a high degree of unity of opinion.

Even in some concepts, it is not too much to say that they coincide.

And after explaining everything in the morning, the next step is to start construction one after another on the props team.

The construction period is about half a month.

When it's over, Xu Xin will come over to take a look.

If it is not qualified, it will be changed. If it is qualified, it will maintain the original appearance and wait for the warm weather in April and May to start the production directly.

The local people in Yuan'an County are very cooperative, and they obviously intend to use this film to develop local tourism resources.

Green lights all the way.

In the afternoon, the entire crew returned to Yanjing to continue the preparatory work.

When Xu Xin got home, it was almost 7 o'clock in the evening.

Compared with the peace at home a few years ago, the Shijia Hutong at this moment is already a mess.

Large and small boxes filled the living room, and there were even several large boxes in the yard.

The door of Xu Xin's study was wide open.

Before he entered the room, Yang Mi came out of the study.After seeing him, he said:
"Ah, you're back? It's just right, hurry up and pack these antiques. I've been packing all afternoon, and I'm about to collapse!"

".I haven't eaten yet."

"Then go and eat first, I'll keep it for you in the kitchen.

Come and help me after eating!
".it is good."

"Let's go as fast as possible. If it works, we'll finish the move tomorrow."

"I have to go to CCTV tomorrow morning. The documentary team has been selected."

"."

The family is moving.

I have agreed with the decoration company that construction will start after 15.

The three connected yards will start to undergo systematic transformation.

The structure of these houses is not very scientific.Or a little crowded.

The construction period is about a whole year, and during this whole year, they will live in the Dahu mansion.

Dinner was not as rich as usual.

It's just a pot of braised noodles with Liubiju's pickles.

Fortunately, Xu Xin, as a native of the Northwest, can live with just a bowl of noodles.

After finishing his meal in a hurry, he didn't even care about the children for a while, so he went into the study and started packing the antiques and things in the safe at home.

When the child was born, Jay Chou and the others gave him gifts, a pile of gold bars, cash, all kinds of jewelry, etc. I liked it when I bought it, but it was really troublesome to pack it up with boxes and bags.

Not to mention those antiques.

I don't know why Dad bought these things, it's really a toss.

I didn't feel it when I lived in the past, but now I have to move. Why are there so many things?
But fortunately, the tenth day of tomorrow, the company's first job has already come out.

Help the boss move.

I packed all the things along the way, the yard and the living room were piled up everywhere.When everything was done, the time came to almost 11 o'clock.

But Xu Xin was exhausted enough.

Back in the bedroom, he didn't even bother to take a bath after tossing and tossing continuously. His son and daughter didn't even bother to enjoy the fragrance, they just lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep.

Early in the morning of the tenth day of the new year.

There are several commercial vehicles parked in front of the house, plus a van.

People including Sun Ting began to help move, and Xu
Xin drove directly to CCTV.

The team of "Bite of Tongue" has been screened.

4 in total.

They are all selected through the group of directors participating in the bidding.

And Xu Xin is going to meet everyone today.

If there are no problems, after the contract is signed in these two days, it will start to enter the preparation stage.

In all honesty, Xu Xin felt that he would be very busy this year.

Because after the "Bite of the Tongue" matter was dealt with, he immediately had to go to Shanghai without stopping.

The opening of the World Expo will be in May, and in the last two months, leaders from all walks of life will start to inspect one after another. He and Zhang Wu must be there.

At the same time, while the post-production of "Transaction" was going on, he was going to work on "The Hawthorn Tree".

Oh yes, there is also the "33 Days" that has not been put on the agenda yet. ． ． ． ．
Grandma's.Why are you so busy?

With a heart full of speechlessness, he walked into the CCTV building.

Yanjing, Tang people.

Li Minnian looked at his watch, sat at his desk and kept an eye on the corridor leading to Cai Yinong's office from time to time.President Cai hasn't come yet.

So he still needs to wait for the time being.

While waiting, he still felt unavoidably a little apprehensive.

Because what he was talking about today was about helping Shishi get back the female lead of "Strange Hero Yizhimei"!
After being inspired by Yang Mi in Wanwan years ago, how to talk about this matter has already been drafted countless times in his mind.

In fact, the speech technique is very simple, you just need to let Mr. Cai understand that the paper that has not signed the contract is equal to the shit in the toilet.

Liu Yifei's past is vivid in his mind, and he feels that this incident can basically convince Mr. Cai.

But what he was afraid of was the one in a thousand.

From Mr. Cai's point of view, this kind of thing should actually be a good balance.

One can forget to eat, but one must always remember to fight, right?

But what if Mr. Cai becomes self-willed?
At last year's annual meeting, Shishi was filming "Pandaren" in Wanwan and couldn't come.Naturally, he didn't come, but he heard from his colleagues that Mr. Cai said something like this at the annual meeting:

"I hope everyone remembers that everything the company does is based on everyone's interests. We hope everyone is well, popular, and popular. You don't have to understand, but don't doubt the company's The decision-making. The company will not harm everyone, maybe what you think is dispensable, if you put it outside, others will fight for it. You must learn to cherish and be grateful!
Li Minnian pondered on these words with his toes, and knew that he was talking about poetry
Just is it really necessary?

It's just an advertisement.

Why are you so sensitive?

How about getting it to the annual meeting?
Because of this passage, to put it a bit exaggerated, his heart is full of panic this past year.

Although there is no gender discrimination, he really feels that Mr. Cai is sometimes not very generous.

It even feels a little bit small-bellied.

Why bother.
Just thinking about it, suddenly, he saw a familiar figure appearing in the corridor.

He was accompanied by several vice presidents of the company.

Seeing this, Li Minnian quickly stood up and then saw Mr. Cai and the others entering the office together.

After thinking about it, he simply stood not far from the door and waited patiently.

Work on "Pandaren" has resumed today.Shishi has gone.

He especially waited for Mr. Cai to come back from Shanghai today because of this.

After finishing this matter, no matter whether he succeeds or not, he will hurry to Wanwan.

But to be reasonable, it should be successful, right?
After all, according to Mimi, all the pros and cons of the matter have been laid out.

If it still doesn't work, stick to it and choose Tang Yan... As if thinking of something, Li Minnian suddenly took a deep breath.

Gives the impression that the shoulders are straighter.It seems that there is some kind of confidence supporting him.

And he didn't wait long outside the office when the heads of these departments came out.

Seeing Li Minnian, he just said hello and left.

The attitude is slightly alienated.

No way, the workplace is sometimes so realistic.In the past, Liu Zhishi was highly praised by the company. As the second manager, Li Minnian deserved everyone's kindness.

But now Liu Zhishi's "thought problem" will be left out for half a year. The relationship between artists and managers is a whole, and they will not show too much enthusiasm.That's tantamount to having a hard time with the boss.

It can only be said to maintain dignity, but don't even think about it until Liu Zhishi lifts the ban.

Li Minnian also understood and even got used to it.

The workplace of an entertainment company is actually more realistic than that of an ordinary company.

The manager of a popular artist is a promise, but the manager with thirty or forty [-]-tier artists under his hand, although it is not as good as a dog, but the sense of sight that mothers are more expensive than children It is particularly prominent here.

He has seen what other people look like, so he calms down his mentality.

"Boom boom boom."

There was a knock on the door.

"Enter.

Hearing the voice inside, Li Minnian pushed open the door, stood at the door, looked at Cai Yinong who was sitting on the office chair looking down at the documents, and said respectfully:
"Mr. Cai, what are you busy? I have something to ask you for."

Seeing Li Minnian's arrival, Cai Yinong temporarily put down the document in his hand.

There was no special expression on his face, and he nodded calmly:
"Um."

After allowing Li Minnian to come in and waiting for the other party to close the door, she didn't mention the intention of letting the other party sit down. She just lowered her head and continued to look at the document in her hand while saying:
"What's the matter, tell me."

"Is such that."

Walking to a position two steps away from the desk, Li Minnian put his hands on his abdomen respectfully, and said:
"I want to talk to you about Shishi."

Cai Yinong didn't lift his head:
"What are you talking about? In the past six months, let her think about it and restrain her behavior. Is there any problem?"

"This. Shishi has actually realized her mistake
up.And in order to live up to Mr. Cai's expectations, he worked very hard on the crew of "Pandaren", just not wanting to embarrass the company.

"."

Seeing that Cai Yinong ignored his apology, Li Minnian did not panic.

How to talk about this, I have already put it in my stomach.

"Mr. Cai. Is "Strange Hero Yizhimei" starting soon?"

"Um."

Cai Yinong continued to look at the document, his overall demeanor was "casual".

It seems to be saying: It has nothing to do with your poems.

But Li Minnian continued to ask, as if he couldn't tell the height of his eyebrows and eyes:

"Is the girl sure to come down? Does Shishi still have a chance?"

Cai Yinong finally raised his head.

There was still some speechlessness in his eyes: "What do you say?"

The tone of her question was as if she was saying, "Don't you think that I just casually said that I stopped working for half a year?"

Seeing this, Li Minnian quickly shook his head:
"I didn't mean that. It's just Mr. Cai. Shishi also knows that she has done something wrong. So, as a manager, I still want to win her over.

"How do you fight for it?"

Cai Yinong's face showed a look of dumbfounding.What joke is this man talking about?

That is, their own employees.

If it wasn't for her employees, she would have told the other party to hurry up and stay somewhere cool.

She is the boss.Golden mouth and jade words.

Do you really think what I say is deaf?
If I swallow what I said, how will I manage the company in the future?

But Li Minnian still seemed to "do not know what is good or bad", and asked, "Did you choose Tang Yan?"

"Well. It's basically decided that you go back and tell Shishi that this time it's just a small punishment and a big warning. All the company's arrangements are for her good. She doesn't need to understand, but she must do it. This time, treat it as It's a lesson."

"Boss Cai."

Before Cai Yinong finished speaking, Li Minnian shook his head directly,
The tone is very firm:

"I don't think it's appropriate to choose Tang Yan. The role of the female lead,

Currently, only Shishi is the most suitable.

"."

Cai Yinong was speechless all of a sudden.

I am very relieved, because my employees know how to fight for resources for their artists.

She loves the subjectivity.The 99 that can be saved is ridiculous.

"Do you know what you're talking about? I said that Yan Sanniang, the daughter of "Strange Hero Yizhimei", already belongs to Tang Yan, and Tang Yan is also preparing carefully. What? You want me to go back on my word?"

Hearing this, Li Minnian shook his head first, but did not deny it:

"I'm not asking you to go back on your word, but...as Shishi's manager, I have to say something.

"...you tell me."

Cai Yinong also wanted to see what twists and turns he could say.

then
"Liu Yifei."

"."

When this name was mentioned, Cai Yiyi's face drooped instantly.

But Li Minnian shook his head:
"I know you don't like to hear this name, but there are some things I don't say. It's irresponsible to Shishi and the company. How did Liu Yifei play us back then? She also has a contract with her godfather, Our company invested so much resources with such sincerity, but in the end, didn’t she regret it?”

"."

Cai Yinong's face immediately turned cold.

"Of course, I'm not saying that Tang Yan must be Liu Yifei, but after all, she's not one of us yet. Her contract has more than two years to come out from Orange Sky. I know that Hu Jia and Tang Yan have a good personal relationship. , I also know that she has a great intention to cooperate with us. But as Shishi's manager, what I want to say is that Shishi is a signed artist of our company!"

Seeing her expression, Li Minnian suppressed his heart beating violently, and made sure his voice didn't tremble at all and said:

"I don't know if you have noticed, but since Liang Bingning started her own studio, the career choices of many artists are no longer simply from one company to another. They set up their own studios and develop themselves.

Although some companies will be attracted to invest in the middle.
But it can more and more guarantee the freedom of resource selection

Of course, I'm not saying that Tang Yan will definitely do the same, but what I want to say is that this is also a big deal for artists.
a path forward.If Tang Yan's contract ends in the first half of this year or the second half of the year, then I will not say this, but will raise my hands to welcome her, because it is beneficial to the company.

But. ． ． ． ． ．Her contract expires in 12 years. ． ． ． ． ．This circle changes every year.If, I mean if.What about another situation like Liu Yifei?Mr. Cai, don't forget that Tang Yan's godfather is Wang Chuan.Although she entered the Hong Kong circle relying on Orange Talent, she has ambitions to enter the film industry!
If you use a TV show to make her popular, then..."

Speaking of this, Li Minnian just stopped to continue talking, and cleverly used a pause to give Cai Yinong enough time to think.

And Cai Yinong's face has also changed from cold and scary to frowning and thinking.

This contemplation lasted just over a minute.

After more than a minute, her first sentence was to raise her hand and point to the reception sofa next to her:

"Sit down and talk."

"Thank you Mr. Cai!"

Li Minnian nodded, and the moment he turned around and walked towards the sofa, there was a sigh of relief on his face.

Sure enough.

····.It was nearly noon.

In the Dahu mansion, Yang Mi's cell phone rang, who was summarizing things with several employees in the company in front of the sofa.

She looked at the caller, got up with the phone and walked into the bedroom.

"Hey, Brother Li, what's the matter?"

"Mimi! Thank you! Thank you so much!"

When she heard Li Minnian's excited voice, a smile appeared on Yang Mi's face:
"So, it's done?"

"...Yes! The matter of Shishi is settled! The female lead of "Strange Hero Yizhimei" is still hers! Tang Yan is out!"

The excitement in Li Minnian's voice was suppressed.

Even little movement.

But the excitement was real.Upon hearing this, Yang Mi smiled and said:

"Isn't that great?"

"Yeah. That's why I want to thank you! I may leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to go to Wanwan, and I can finally give Shishi a complete account of this matter! Thank you, Mimi! Thank you so much!"

"Ha~ It's just a matter of raising your hand. I just provided the idea, and the specifics are not the credit of Brother Li.

"No, no, if it weren't for you, I might not be able to do anything! Mimi, thank you so much!"

Li Minnian seemed to be at a loss for words.

I don't know how to express it other than thank you.But Yang Mi suddenly asked:
"Brother Li, let me ask, what is the specific content of the contract between Shishi and Tang Ren? What are the conditions for the conclusion of the contract?"

Li Minnian went dumb for an instant.

It seems that this question is difficult to answer.But Yang Mi's expression was smiling.

It seems that she asked this question just casually, without any other meaning.
At the same time, the right to choose was given to Li Minnian.

And this quiet, low-noise phone call lasted.
In less than five seconds, Li Minnian's voice sounded:
"Ten film contracts, 5-year contract. If it was signed in 07 and expires, it will be New Year's Day in 12. As for the film contract... Including "Pandaren" and this "Weird Man", there are a total of nine films . One more part will meet the conditions.”

"Uh-huh."

Hearing Li Minnian's words, Yang Mi seemed to ask casually, and said with a smile:
"So that's how it works, so I know. Brother Li, let's keep in touch if there is anything going on in the future."

".Mmm, okay! Honey, thank you!"

"Haha, it's too strange. I always treat Brother Li as my own, the kind of person who is very close. The family doesn't talk about each other. That's fine, Brother Li, you go to work first."

After a few more pleasantries, the phone hung up.

Holding the phone, Yang Mi looked at the Jingzang artificial lake in front of her through the bedroom window.

At noon in winter, the artificial lake, which has been slowly turning from ice to ice, looks like a huge mirror, which is particularly pleasing to the eye under the sunlight.

Just like Yang Mi's mood at this moment.

The waves are not visible on the surface at first glance.

But in fact, this frozen lake, after the spring breeze came,
It won't last long either.
