I'm the director, I'm not bad

"Mr. Cai, Director Lin is looking for you."

"Let Director Lin come in quickly."

Within a few seconds after Cai Yinong finished speaking, she looked at Lin Yufen who walked in, and a smile appeared on her face:
"Director Lin."

"Mr. Cai, hello."

Lin Yufen greeted with a smile.

"Well, sit down."

For these directors in the company, Cai Yinong obviously showed great courtesy.

There is no way, the company wants to develop, and these directors rely on it.No one can afford to offend, they all have to provide food and drink.

After all, they are the ones who supported Tangren step by step to where he is today.

What's more, this group of people are still in a group, and they have to treat everyone with a bowl of water.

This is why audiences can always see several directors in dramas produced by Tang Ren.

As for Lin Yufen's intention, Cai Yinong probably guessed it, and said with a smile:
"Is Director Lin here because of "Scary Step by Step"?"

"Yes."

Lin Yufen smiled and nodded:
"It's for this matter. No, the budget has been approved, and now we need to start preparing for the crew and actors."

"Oh?"

Cai Yinong showed a curious look:
"What is the budget given by Yang Mi?"

"She didn't give it to me. I reported the production cost of 100 million. Yang Mi has already agreed. I just signed the labor contract with her yesterday. The salary of the actors is estimated to be around 2000 million. The total cost is calculated Publicity should not exceed 5000 million."

Hearing the price, Cai Yinong nodded.

5000 million, the Tang people can't afford it.

It's just... when the initial budget for "Scary Step by Step" was made, the company had done internal calculations.

With production and pay, the cost can be controlled at around 500 million.

This back and forth is a discrepancy of 500 million.

From the point of view of money, Cai Yinong understood... Yang Mi's company is not successful after all.

Although the 500 million yuan spent cannot be said to be a waste of money, it can only be said that they do not have a mature system for producing TV dramas, so the profit point has been compressed by more than 1000 million yuan from the beginning.

So he continued to ask:

"What about Director Lin's labor fee?"

"One episode is 15. The total number of episodes is about 30 to 35 episodes. 35 episodes directly signed by the contract."

Hearing this, Cai Yinong calculated the price and nodded slightly.

The heart said that the money was generous.

With a pre-sharing remuneration of five million yuan, the company can probably save one hundred and twenty after tax.

Not to mention the money, it is quite comfortable to hold.

Feeling very good for no reason, she smiled and asked Lin Yufen:

"Then Director Lin came to find me..."

"Actors must give priority to our company's people."

Although when she chatted with Yang Mi, the starting point was "who is suitable", but Lin Yufen is not incapable of being a human being, and she knows how to say some things in her heart.

Sure enough, the smile on Cai Yinong's face was even wider:
"Who does Director Lin want? I'll ask them to cooperate. But Hu Jian really can't do it anymore, he's still in Yunnan, and the movie is scheduled for next year."

"This is a female lead, Mr. Cai, I'm definitely going to help the company get a female lead."

Lin Yufen didn't mention Huang Xiaoming's matter, and said the words very openly.

then……

Cai Yinong was stunned suddenly.

"The heroine?"

"Yes."

With Lin Yufen's confirmation, Cai Yinong's first reaction was that Yang Mi was crazy?
When promoting such a good cafe, she didn't ask for the heroine?

Subconsciously came a sentence:
"She won't act?"

"She doesn't act."

Lin Yufen finished speaking with a smile, and directly threw a word that was honey to her, but like arsenic to Cai Yinong:
"So I decided on Shishi, and she has already agreed."

"..."

The expression was completely frozen above the sluggishness.

Cai Yinong's mind buzzed, looking at Lin Yufen's smiling expression...

She knew it was a big deal.

As a boss, managing a company requires means.

The first time Liu Zhishi issued the order to freeze was before "Strange Man".

After hiding in the snow for a while, she joined the crew of "Weird Man".

Cai Yinong didn't tell anyone when the quarrel broke out between the two of them.

Because it will lose her prestige.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Liu Zhishi's entry into the crew of "Weird Man" is equivalent to releasing the signal of "unlocking the snow".

But the actual situation is not the case.

Tang Ren's company has one advantage, that is, Cai Yinong is the "first manager" of all artists.

Artists' announcements, large and small, were sent to her for review.

Those who pass can be accepted, those who are rejected will not be accepted.

Therefore, she does not need to communicate with anyone about "terminating Liu Zhishi's performing arts activities".

You just need to reject the invitations that come to you.

Therefore, after making up her mind to hide in the snow, as Liu Zhishi's first manager, she completely stopped the other party's acting activities.

At the same time, the company's internal management also maintains a tacit understanding with the boss.

Whether it's scouts starting to search for other girls, or some resources that used to be only available to Liu Zhishi to come first, and then it's their turn to spread out...

Everyone could vaguely foresee this sign.

But exactly what happened, no one knows.

Cai Yinong would not say either.

Lin Yufen is a member of the director team.

However, Tang Ren's director team is a hiring system, not a fixed contract like an artist.

Other directors are not stupid.

Everyone does not understand the principle of following the market.

Therefore, everyone's remuneration is a matter of a play, and it is guaranteed that although I dare not say that it is more than the outside, it is all within the market price.

Otherwise, who would foolishly give you the least amount of money to produce one well-made TV series after another?
Is there something wrong?

The director team has always been managed by Li Guoli.

Director Li has never been involved in the company's operations and artist matters.

It wasn't what he was good at.

Second, he didn't bother to worry about it.

But now Lin Yufen directly threw this trouble on Cai Yinong's head.

Did the director team know that Liu Zhishi was hidden by the snow?

know.

But that was before Stranger Things.

You let a person from Xuezang join the group as the heroine, what's the point of this Xuezang?
Therefore, in the eyes of others, Liu Zhishi has already "lifted the ban".

Cai Yinong also understood what Lin Yufen meant.

Frankly speaking, Director Lin is so kind, and he doesn't forget to praise his own company's artists in this kind of outside production.And still get the position of the heroine... It's hard to say how hard it will be, but it's impossible for any normal company to refuse such a thing.

Rather...

Cai Yinong understood that when Director Lin said this sentence...

Her troubles were really coming.

……

"A lie needs to be covered by countless lies, understand, Tingting."

On the terrace of the Dahu Mansion facing Jingzang Lake.

Holding the watering can, Yang Mi took good care of the pots of green plants on the balcony.

Most of them are pothos.

They were raised when the house was decorated to put the smell in. After moving here, the green radishes have already started to climb the vines.

So Yang Mi set up a shelf in the shade of the balcony, watching the shade-loving green radish crawling there.

Then I bought some sun-loving plants and mixed them on both sides.

Over the years, this green plant has become more and more luxuriant.

As the green plants are luxuriant, she has changed from carelessness to meticulous care.

It's like exercising your mind.

What kind of flower arrangement and tea art do people play in their childhood... When it comes to tea art, she is the ancestor.The average girl can't beat her.But when I was young, people were ignorant, playing flower arranging... I just planted trees.

What kind of money tree, duck foot wood, camellia, golden branches and jade leaves and so on.

Anyway, the balcony is big, so let her toss around.

But it's not good to spend too much.

If you have nothing to do, you have to loosen the soil, especially during the pollination season, you have to dip a cotton swab in the stamens, and the stamens and pistils pollinate like the pistils.

Yang Mi has been doing this for the past few days.

And Sun Ting, who returned to work after a few days of rest, the two of them were chatting about what happened in the past few days. While chatting, Sun Ting asked:
"Sister, aren't you afraid that Cai Yinong will push Director Lin under the pretext that Sister Shishi has a film contract?"

And Yang Mi gave this answer.

With soil still on her hands, she said as she put the egg shells left over from the eggs she ate in the morning on the soil where the golden branches and jade leaves took root in front of her, and continued:
"It's just "Scary Heart". If Cai Yinong really said that, then she must find a chance to give Shishi a film appointment. Do you know why?"

"...Because she has to make this lie true?"

"That's right. At the same time, it's also because she can't afford to offend the director team. Director Lin will open this movie at the end of the year or the beginning of the year. If Shishi doesn't have a movie in production by then, then she will be cheating Director Lin. Lied Director Lin, if you don’t satisfy Director Lin, you won’t satisfy the director team. And Director Lin was chosen by Director Li as his successor. I remember... Director Li seems to have been born in 58 or 59?"

After buttoning the egg shells, she continued to focus on trimming the branches of the pot of golden branches and jade leaves in front of her.

I was always outside this year, and the branches of a good big bonsai grew in a mess.

It's so easy to be free these two days, I have to take care of it.

"How many more years can he direct? Among the directors, only Director Lin is the one who can really take the lead. If Lao Cai dares to make Director Lin unhappy, it is tantamount to self-destruction. For this reason, she does not won't understand."

"Crack. Crack. Crack."

Under the scissors, the slightly messy branches and broken leaves of golden branches and jade leaves fell like snowflakes.

"And as long as Shishi can continue to act, it doesn't matter whether she is in "Scary Step by Step" or not."

"Crack, click."

"All I want is for her to fulfill the contract."

At some point, Sun Ting had a hallucination.

What my sister cut with the scissors was not any green potted plants, but Tang people.

Tang people are like this pot of golden branches and jade leaves, which looks prosperous.But the reason for this is that the scissors did not fall on its head.

When the scissors are lifted, it must follow the owner's will.

otherwise……

The scissors that are still pruning the branches may be mercilessly pierced into the soil by the owner, cutting off the roots and killing it.

"..."

Thinking of this, she got a little goosebumps.

Not fear.

A little excited.

It's as if... touched a kind of... a realm that I had never thought of before.

With scissors in hand, the plants in front of me are just my own lambs waiting to be slaughtered...

Thinking of this, she tentatively asked:

"Then you... want to poach Director Lin, but you also want to start from the root..."

"Just do whatever you want."

The work in Yang Mi's hands didn't stop, her voice was equally calm:
"The millet has already been scattered on the ground, and the bamboo baskets have been set up. If there is a bird that takes the bait, then catch it. If it doesn't take the bait... just use it as a pastime in your spare time. Director Lin is a good person, and he is a worthy investment object."

"……Understood."

Sun Ting nodded, seeing that the golden branches and jade leaves were left untouched, she took the initiative to pick up the small broom and planned to start cleaning later.

And this is, she suddenly remembered something, and said quickly:
"That's right, sister."

"Ok?"

"Two days ago, another scout called Nazha. I asked Nazha to ask for the scout's name, and asked Li Minnian. I can confirm that this scout named Jiang Lin is indeed from Tangren Company. .They are indeed reaching out to Nazha."

"Oh?"

Because Yang Mi's back was facing her, Sun Ting couldn't see Mi's expression clearly.

After Yang Mi said this, she fell silent.

After about two or three seconds, she said:
"What's your opinion on Nazha? Is it worth signing?"

"I……"

Sun Ting thought for a while and said:

"It's still too young. But from a personal point of view...she is very obedient. What I teach her, she works hard to learn a little bit. So, I quite like it. But from the company's point of view Look, signing her is too tasteless.

Baozi, Jiaojiao, these two are just right to eat the next resource.One more person will disrupt our plan.

So at least until one of these two people has a hit drama, the others will not get any better opportunities.Especially considering the relationship between these two people, I think it is better to have a bowl of water.So sign Nazha...Maybe in the past two years, she may not have any chance.not to mention……"

Speaking of this, she hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"That's what I think, sister. Although Brother Xu basically doesn't ask about her matters now. But she had a relationship with Brother Xu first... You can tell from Jiaojiao that Brother Xu is very nostalgic. Yes. This girl...is a bit special..."

She said this because she understood.

Brother Xu... your heart is too soft.

And this kind of soft-heartedness can easily create an illusion for others.

"I'm special to him."

Everyone will change.

From what she saw on the crew of "Mirror Sea Wind and Cloud" last time, Sun Ting has realized that her "little apprentice" is not a soft-tempered persimmon.

Once grown up...

She didn't want to make trouble for herself either.

I don't want to cause any trouble for my sister and Brother Xu.

Not to mention that the little girl who might "make trouble" was brought out by herself.

Therefore, she felt that it would be good for everyone if she did not sign.

"Ha~"

Suddenly, Yang Mi let out a chuckle.

The pruning work that has never stopped has finally come to an end.

The floor tiles around the flowerpot were in a mess, she looked at a delightful green branch, and cut it off with scissors mercilessly.

With a "click", the branch fell to the ground.

no way.

Although it grows well, it affects the overall shape of this pot of golden branches and jade leaves.

Maybe at some point, I let it go for a while, and when the whole pot of golden branches and jade leaves swelled a little, if the emerald green branches could still grow, then she would stay.

But now...

Not suitable.

Can only be temporarily abandoned.

After cutting this branch, the pruning of the whole potted plant is also over.

She stood up, admiring her masterpiece.

"The scout belongs to the Tang people..."

With joy in her eyes, she said:
"Then let her get in touch well. But don't worry, when the school starts, there will be the most scouts and reporters from all walks of life. Beijing Film Academy has always had a tradition of judging the school's flowers at the beginning of the school. Push her and let her start higher. Some."

"..."

Sun Ting was taken aback.

Just listen to Yang Mi continue to say:

"Just let her sign with Tang Ren, and never go to other companies. Don't be afraid to tell her the truth. As for people, you continue to teach. Let her learn how to survive in this circle. Tell her that during the five years at Tang Ren, it was her who When you prove yourself. When the five-year contract is over, come to me. I will guarantee her wealth for the rest of her life."

As she spoke, a smile that could be said to be disastrous to the country and the people appeared on the corner of her mouth.

I am more and more satisfied with the growth direction of my potted plant.

So she took off her gloves and untied her dust-proof apron.

"But I only have one request. For the past five years, be a moth well. Drain its blood for me."

As if it was a trivial matter, as she said, she handed all these things to Sun Ting.

The slender fingers casually pointed to the mess on the floor tiles, and said in a calm tone:

"give it to you."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and opened the sliding door, and walked into the house.

And Sun Ting, holding the apron, gloves, and scissors in both hands, watched Sister Mi leave, then bent slightly, and responded respectfully with eyes full of eyes:
"Yes."

Straightening up, she looked at the loving Sister Mi who was smiling and holding the two children in her arms...

His eyes were full of puzzlement.

All of this...was all planned by Miss Mi?
Or, as she said, just set up a bamboo basket and sprinkled it with millet?
She was puzzled.

And when her gaze landed on the potted plant, whether it be golden branches and jade leaves, or Tang Dynasty people...

The expression on his face was admiration from the heart.

Sister is really...too powerful.

On the 12th, my best friend got married, and on the night of the 11th, I had to help.The update may be unstable in the past two days, let me tell you in advance.
