I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 537. 535. Looking for Backers

At around 4 pm, Xu Xin, who had had enough rest at home, drove to the headwind.

No way, it's really hot.

Early August is the hottest time of the year, so it's fine if you're always outside.As soon as he got home and the air conditioner was blowing, he really didn't want to take a step outside.

In the end, if Xu Yang didn't come to remind him when he would arrive, he might not want to go this afternoon.

Today's headwinds are not the same as before.

At least three more NO.40 employees.

I don't even know why.

Xu Xin went all the way to the front desk, and went straight to several people's offices without using his younger sister to inform him.

As soon as the door was opened, a smell of second-hand smoke burst out.

"He's been dating a few times. Since the last time we met, he's been keeping in touch. Then he appeared in a movie in June, and his reputation is pretty good. It's called "People on the Journey", have you watched it?"

"Is it changed?"

In Xu Yang's speechless expression, the laughter of several people seemed to have exposed the matter.

He just continued to say to Xu Yang:

Xu Xin didn't know why, but his reaction to this aspect was particularly intense.

"Take this Dongfeng back, take it back, three cakes...one cake."

Don't mention anything else, if in reality, you are a wedding party, you will disappear all day long holding your client's wedding dress.Then when I came back, I stained the client's wedding dress...

What's more, Xu Xin himself felt that this script was already "unrealistic".

"What's the matter, the bones and tendons are broken."

"Hey~ What a literary talent!"

Although she recognized that this was Director Xu Xin, the girl pretended not to know anything.

"That's not enough. It's just a road movie. He wants to make it himself, and is now attracting investors. The story takes place in Thailand, and the genre is the same as "囧". It's all kinds of things that happened during the trip. But The plot is different. It looks pretty good~"

Because once people leave their roots, they tend to drift away.

After all, in the era when all kinds of phenomena in the entertainment industry grew wildly, Mengji was the only director who could call out the slogan "whoever pays more money will play the leading role" to attract investment.

After the secretary walked out, Xu Zhi asked:
"Sanjin, what are you doing at night? Find a bathhouse to carry it?"

"Then do you think it is better or worse than the original book?"

"Then you can vote, as long as it's not plagiarism. Road movies are genres, but if the plot is similar, it's plagiarism."

"The leg guards are useless. I heard that the siblings have already reached the realm of hunting cattle across the mountain."

"Hahahahaha..."

Without mentioning the comparison, let's just talk about his history of fame.

But in his hometown, he is the kind of acting school that grandma doesn't love and uncle doesn't love.

For nothing else, just for the great life they just started, they shouldn't do such stupid things.

"..."

"Just say why he is looking for you. Looking for you to invest?"

"One."

"Don't panic... Jue Zhang Thirty Thousand...Ah! It's not this three! Three!"

"Huh! Haha, ninety thousand monotonous!"

"Hmm... [-]."

After all, in this three-acre land here... there may be people who are stronger than Liu Momo's backing... but there are really not many.

Several people joked for a while, but no one took Xu Xin's request seriously.

"Ah."

Money is for enjoyment, not for medical expenses that you put life and death aside.

Let me ask: Which boss, who has a big complaint, just scolded you for handling this kind of matter?
It's outrageous.

That's the serious crookedness.

But he did start to refer to Xu Yang's opinion.

"What are you talking about?! What are you talking about! Do you care about money? This is called return on investment! Does it have anything to do with millions?"

"Well, then what?...Who made the three cakes!?"

Xu Zheng is too far away from the first line.

These words made Xu Yang fall into deep thought.

Xu Yang shrugged:

But the difference is... Wen Zhang is not convinced, he doesn't want people to poke him in the back, saying that he relies on his wife for his position.

Isn't this nonsense.

After accumulating enough fame in the TV drama circle, he began to switch to making movies.

Xu Yang was annoyed:

Having said that, Xu Xin understood what Xu Zheng meant.

A few people got together mainly to form a poker game, sitting in the room while playing cards and chatting.

It was at the "limit" of his patience.

"Nightclub", produced by Orange Sky.

Last shot on the table:
"Snapped!"

With Xu Xin's words, Xu Zhi felt confident.

"Twenty thousand touches. Do you have to add an actor you have slept with after your words?"

"Plagiarism?"

Now that Cheng Tian was on his deathbed, he had to find a new backer.

If there were outsiders, they might feel that these shareholders, not to mention internal strife, were about to fight.

"Our play must be positive!"

Xu Cong continued what Xu Zhi said, and after finishing speaking, he asked Xu Yang:
"You don't mention the original, let's just say... the first version of the script is in line with the original, right? Tell me, how much has Huang Xiaoxian changed from the beginning to the end of this script? Has she changed? Apart from realizing that Wang Xiaoxian She has been silently caring about her, what has she learned? How many girls do you want to make a film like yours think that brutality is the truth? No matter how brutal, some cheap boys will come to lick her? Fair to boys?"

"It's less hypocritical."

Xu Xin frowned and asked:

"It's okay if you dare to go to something unscrupulous."

You are so particular about the quality of life, can you get yourself a messy bangs?

"Didn't something happen... Ah, do the math, it's wrong, it's wrong! There will never be a next time! It's alright?"

"Yes yes yes, I know wow, I know wow!"

Good guy, several big chimneys in Xujiawan are all in one room.

He's thinking about it.

But the problem is that Orange Sky's current weakness is an indisputable fact.

Xu Zhi, who was the slowest to read, said without looking up:
"He went out to play with a few on his back, and drove a Q7. After drinking too much, he forgot where to stop..."

Until he met the drama "Bright Spring Pig Bajie".

"Hahaha~"

Yangzai has really not been in vain all these years, has he?
This is what it says...

Saying that, he casually picked up the cigarette case in his hand and threw it towards Xu Yang:

Several people followed with a smile.

Too empty.

Xu Xin, who lost a thousand in Pinghu, pushed the mahjong forward silently.

"..."

Hearing this, Xu Zhi responded:
"Wow, Guan Yu, it's him who begged us and not us begging him. That's fine, let's continue to communicate and see... Actually, it's not just him, especially this year, there are really many actors who want to find us..."

He didn't want to shoot something that was out of touch with reality.

If the works produced cannot be rooted in the real environment, then he would rather not do it.

"Then pick it up and pick some elite soldiers and strong generals."

The mahjong machine played cards again, and when several people were drawing cards, Xu Zhi suddenly said:
"Oh yes, San Jin, do you still remember the last time we had a party at that golf place, that Xu Zheng, remember?"

Drink a car but don't drive alcohol, and don't drink a car while driving alcohol.

A movie about a broken relationship, conveying values?

Therefore, this script cannot be shot like that.

Xu Zheng invested all his belongings in it.

"Snapped!"

Just kidding... We're all married, so let's do it well.

And Xu Xin wasn't talking about scripts or anything like that with him.

And Xu Xin didn't say much, they are all adults, so they don't need to speak so thoroughly.

Enjoy it.

What else is good?
Fanned the wind with eyes full of disgust:
"Then you can't open a window!?...Let's go, the conference room, ah, it's so smoked to death."

Headwind was naturally included in his selection list.

But for a few people... it's normal.

Although it has also filmed such as "Love Call Transfer", "Nightclub", including the current "People on the Journey", the reputation is not bad.

Do you want to add it?

When several people heard this, they all shrugged when they saw that he had made a decision.

"Hurrah."

Don't dare to drag Sanjin into the water.

The director has the right to decide on the script. For an objective event, different directors can interpret it from different angles.

In this drama, he gained love and fame, and then became active in the TV drama circle.

But the question is...is it really necessary?
First of all, it can be determined that he did not convey any value meaning through this movie.

Hearing Xu Yang's words, he raised a finger:
"Just this time! Next time, call Da directly. See if you can still come out of Shenmu!"

This is a few drops.

Leaving aside the various news about the play "Pig Bajie" for the time being, Xu Zheng has put in a lot of effort to make this play.

Xu Zhi nodded:
"Everyone didn't agree on the second part of "People on the Journey", and then he also wanted to transform himself into a director. He has a script in his hand...he told me that he wrote it before "People on the Journey" But in fact... I read a few pages of the script, and I guess it was a continuation of "The Man on the Journey". Because "The Man on the Journey" didn't work out, I guess he has tasted the sweetness, thinking Make it yourself. Get this..."

"..."

"Don't go so close, but don't go too far. After all, we are not an entertainment company~ Basically, there are guys who play with the wind, and they would rather lack than abuse."

"But Sanjin described the transformation of her mental journey completely enough. So it is not so much a love scene as it is a self-transformation...or a girl's journey to maturity."

Xu Xin looked at the people in the room...

Xu Cong rolled his eyes:
"Sounds like you want to know where to stop."

So, he didn't participate in the discussion at all.

How much does this cost for a Q7?

Under Xu Xin's dumbfounding gaze, several people slapped the table and stood up at the same time.

Xu Yang scratched his head in embarrassment...

Brother, press your feet.

But being interrupted by him, Xu Xin missed a three cake.

The relationship between Chengtian and the Shanghai circle is well known, and as Chengtian's son-in-law, he can be said to rely on his status as a daughter-in-law to obtain these resources in Chengtian.

"Huh! Hahahaha... catch three catch three. You got caught~"

The feet are pressed hard.

As for Xu Xin, she spoke bluntly:

Soon, the secretary brought over several scripts, and Xu Xin started to read them with his head down.

"..."

"Sir, you said."

Tell your uncle the truth!
Seeing his expression, the listless Xu Yang said with a cheap smile:
"Come here, add a leg guard to Boss Xu."

The story is still the story.

He even won the most glorious honor for a dialogue actor, Magnolia.

The hypocrisy of the original...

Meal... So-so.

A house with a cloakroom like this in Yanjing... Let alone a new building, an old building costs two to three thousand a month.

Seeing that some of his modifications had been put in place by the screenwriter, and that both the lines and the characters were in line with his wishes, Xu Xin nodded in satisfaction and asked the others:

Don't be ridiculous, the customers who come to massage their feet open their mouths, which is a billion-to-eight billion business. They massage more salt than you eat, so why discuss these?

"No, no, you two wait a moment."

The old men who don’t play well are paid 1 yuan per game, and these children are only 1000 yuan per game.

"Snapped!"

"Hmm...Turn back the card~keep it for a while~...Forget it! No more! Four cakes!"

"Is it a serious foot-washing?"

Xu Xin, who was late to attack, was full of anger:
"Who the hell told you to drink and drive! Donkey Ridi! You are so brave!"

"Yep."

What if someone actually did it?
It's like a girl pouring a bucket of fluorescent agent on a Rolls-Royce, thinking that I can't afford it anyway, so I promise to pay him with my body, and it's as outrageous as a rich woman in the future...Huh?Why did I think of this ridiculous metaphor?

Not so impetuous, but very real...

Xu Xin was numb when he saw this detail.

Xu Xin was really surprised.

The story happened in Yanjing.

Xu Zhi, who finally let go of the script, gave the answer directly:
"In other words, the first edition is for girls, and the second edition is for girls and boys who have entered the society. The first edition you read is about love, and what you read is hypocrisy. But this edition is Like this person, this thing happened to you...or you experienced it yourself.

Xu Yang nodded, and said to the secretary:
"Bring me the script of "33 Days."

……

"He can't get much resources here~ It's similar to Wenzhang's situation. There is no support in the Shanghai circle, but he still can't get away. Didn't Uncle Liu go up this year? Who doesn't know Sister Mo's name here now~ He is too Like Wen Zhang, I want to find a backer.

This is the persistence in his heart.

It was Xu Zhi who found the place where they came.

It's like in the original novel, Huang Xiaoxian lives in a house with a cloakroom...

But, just like what Xu Xin said to Yang Mi before, movies are the promised land for all actors.

Are you against heaven?
When did the third party appear on the screen so openly?
What if a group of girls see the movie I made and think... Ah, so there are so many high-quality men in weddings.

You are an employee of a wedding company... count your monthly salary of [-] a month.

"..."

Dating can be simulated in other movies, so it’s not too much for me to do so...

But before he had time to be surprised, Xu Cong on the side said unhurriedly:
"Stop worrying about that. Pay back the box office? It's a total investment of millions of dollars. Are you worried about the box office? Sanjin wants to make this, so let him do it. You have to really feel sorry for the money , first think about where you put your Q7, can you find it quickly?"

In the clubhouse, Xu Xin was enjoying the comfort of the pedicure girl attacking his renal reflex area. Suddenly, after hearing this, he looked at the most beautiful foot-washing girl beside Xu Cong...

If you want to build a relationship with Shanghai Film Studio, you have to be at least a first-line.

This is all money, and it will be settled after the game is over.

But you can see the composition of these movies...

Finally got the role of Zhu Bajie.

Handed over a playing card.

With an investment of up to 400 million yuan, what about the box office?
Just shoot and play.

It belongs to the kind of private club, including massage, dining, leisure and entertainment.

"... Seriously?"

When it comes to this kind of principled issue, obviously several people know that there should be no chances.

If you are floating, you will not be able to come down.

"No. I'll watch it when the DVD comes out. But I hear it's an interesting film."

Seeing that Xu Zhi started to talk about business, Xu Yang didn't report the cards he played.

And his point of view is actually the current version of the script.

Xu Xin looked at Faxiao with a puzzled look on his face:

People don't care who you are.

"That's right, hurry up and find Q7."

So the situation is clear.Xu Zheng is from the Shanghai circle, and his base, wealth and life are all here.

"What do you guys think?"

When we arrived at the conference room, an unknown secretary came in to pour tea.

As for Shanghai Film Studio, the threshold is too high.

What are you talking about?
Pretend to be B?

If you really want to talk less bluntly and beat around the bush, everyone will not be able to play the friendship of the past 20 years.

"That's someone else's film, this is Sanjin's. Sanjin wants to shoot, you let him shoot. In this script, Huang Xiaoxian realized that Wang Xiaojian cared for her, realized that people should not be judged by their appearance, and won a work partner. I have also learned to let go of my friendship. A girl like her is a blessing to marry back! Is there anything wrong with that?"

"..."

"That is, the total investment is several million drops. What return are you talking about? What kind of return are you talking about? Your Q7 is still more than 100 million."

Xu Yang, who was being defeated by the two brothers in a series of doubles, was stunned...

Seeing a few people choking there, Xu Xin looked accustomed to it.

Oh yo?

"I……"

The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched...

"Thirty thousand touches. How about recommending some actors?"

"What did you say just now? Do you think this script is less hypocritical?"

Hearing this, Xu Xin was not happy:
"Why don't you dare to go? Just go!"

"Love", produced by Orange Sky.

"My [-] is absolutely worth it!... Do the math, [-]."

Xu Xin's words can be regarded as completely finalizing the matter.

"Let's just shoot like this. I think this story is only comfortable for me if I shoot like this."

"Well, I don't know who to turn to, the big deal is an audition... [-]."

"Well……"

"Okay, Mr. Xu."

You still go on mock dates with clients?

"It's fun. The box office is not bad..."

After expressing his point of view, Xu Xin asked in bewilderment:
"So why did he contact you? You two shouldn't communicate much, right?"

Xu Yang nodded:
"Well, I've read the original work, and it's actually hypocritical. But if you change it like this, you feel...it's not so hypocritical, it's more like a workplace drama. The story is a good one, but it deviates too much from the original."

He clapped his hand on the table again:
"Do the math, fart! Get the hell out of here! Just pretend you didn't say yes!"

Xu Xin lit a cigarette and looked at the girls:

Your grandma has a leg.

"Ouch~ I've learned how to be patient."

"Even Q7?"

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his script... just like what these people were talking about.

"Hey girl."

People with a little brain can't do such a thing, can they?

Indeed, Xu Zheng has basically no resources in the Shanghai circle.

"Forget it! I don't want that car! It's just for you to prevent disasters!"

"..."

Everyone in the room laughed.

"Why? Are you afraid that your siblings will cut your feet?"

Just as he was about to speak, a cigarette case hit his head again.

I love this version.But as a boss, if the company wants this kind of girl, it won't give her any chance to change her mind.Just offending the client is enough to make her go out!This is a matter of professional attitude, as an employee, she is not qualified. "

Xu Yang patted the table again:
"Are you done? Let's go, wash your feet!"

"Don't press him for now. This order is still yours. You can rest and go outside and find a male technician for him. He should have stronger hands and a lot of positive energy!"

Xu Zheng said that his grandma didn't love his uncle and didn't love him. The general meaning of the conversation with him was that he wanted to invest in movies, and he wanted to make a gambling agreement with him.If the movie sells well, he plans to make it himself, and if it sells well, he will set up a company and wants us to invest~"

So say it.

"Two days ago, I had a meal with him."

"Well, what's wrong?"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the meeting room in the glass cubicle.

"..."

So out of touch.

After thinking about this, Xu Xin pondered for a while, then nodded:
"His acting skills are not bad, very solid. You can vote for that drama if you want. Since we are in Shanghai, it is very important to show an open and cooperative attitude towards the actors in Shanghai. The premise is that there is nothing wrong with the script... But I heard his wife is quite hypocritical."

As for the box office...

I'm too familiar, but I won't save too much face by talking.

Xu Yang tilted his head and dodged the cigarette case with a sneer on his face.

This proposition is also not suitable.

"That's not what it means. From the perspective of the company and investors..."

And after several years of tossing in the drama circle, he wanted to make a TV series.The problem is that he doesn't know anyone, and the repertory troupe can't provide him with many resources.

"Speaking of which, who are you planning to find, Mistress?...Nine Cakes."

Not to rely on you to bring pain to other families.

I went to wash my feet.

As for those people, Xu Zheng may not be able to speak.

He is one of the few drama actors in the magic city circle who can do well.

But in any case, he thinks... It's not that artistic processing is not allowed in movies.But all artistic processing must at least be based on reality.

"Well, I think the audience is different. At the beginning, the script...was obviously for women. It's hypocritical, it's all about girls playing petty temper. But this script...it looks like a married man at first glance. Made it up... In terms of aesthetics, I'm a little worried about the box office..."

"Let the fuck you drink and drive! This is an accident! Look at the accident, I will give you a discount on your legs! If you drink and drive again, I will kill you!"

Apart from other aspects, Zhu Bajie is actually a TV series that changed his life.

After a few words, the corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched...

granny legs.

Does Xu Zheng disagree with me?

No money!
