I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 75 073. Small Conflict

Did Shang Jing understand?

Naturally understood.

He didn't even think about cheating others.

He is a soldier.

Is a national first-class director.

He also has a heart to pursue art.

Why go to cheat others?

So he nodded:
"Old Zhang, I understand what you mean...it's like this, Xiao Xu."

I always feel that the middle-aged man who is like a dream at this moment asked seriously:

"This is more than 1000 million..."

"I have enough money, really enough, Director Shang."

Xu Xin nodded, and the sunshine of his smile made people feel good... At the same time, the aura of nouveau riche suddenly flashed by:

"If you don't believe me, we can check it now. Then when you need it, I will transfer the money to you, okay?"

"...I don't mean that."

Shang Jing was a little speechless, and quickly shook his head:
"I mean, it runs the risk of losing money."

"I know... To tell you the truth, I don't really care if I lose money or not. But when I come across a good story, I can't see it on TV, and I feel itchy. What's more... you just treat me as if I came from you Let’s start accumulating experience. Compared with you and Director Zhang, I’m just a student who doesn’t understand anything. In the future, I’ll definitely have to face soliciting investment, or something… This will be my internship, Is it ok?"

No, don't be so humble, can you?
Shang Jing was speechless.

It's like... I'm a bad person.

It's true.

this money...

He really wants to.

Because the two investors I met today have clearly rejected his script...

But at this moment, there is really no way out, and there is another village.

But this young man's attitude gave him the illusion that "I feel particularly guilty when I take your money"...

At this moment, Zhang Wu's phone rang suddenly.

Looking down...

"It's a conspiracy."

Zhang Wu waved his hand to signal the two to stop talking, and connected the phone directly:

"Hey, Yimou...not yet...who?...This...well, then I'll go over now...well, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Wu shook his head:

"Yimou asked me to go to dinner, and Gong Lifei said to invite people from our creative team... In this way, you two can chat slowly, and I will tell them when I go, Xiao Xu, you will not participate, okay?"

"Yeah, thank you Director Zhang."

"It's okay...Old Shang, let's talk. The investment is settled, and then you can go back and prepare. Xiaoxu is young after all, and he may need to find someone with experience to help him. Get it for me, let's behave properly, okay?"

After understanding the subtext of the old classmate again, Shang Jing nodded:
"No problem...then we're going to my room."

"Okay, let's go together..."

……

ninth floor.

Xu Xin is looking at an investment plan handed over by Shang Jing.

The above list mainly lists the estimates of various costs.

And when Xu Xin saw one, he asked:
"Bai Zhantang—Sha Yi, the salary is 2000 yuan per episode...here, Director Shang, Zhu Wushuang is also a very important supporting role?"

He saw the fourth episode of the story he watched yesterday, and the main characters in it were "Bai Zhantang, Shopkeeper Tong, Mo Xiaobei, Li Dazui, Guo Furong, Lu Qinghou, Xing Tutou".

I haven't seen any scenes of Zhu Wushuang.

But she is starring here, but she doesn't have the name of the leading role like everyone else, but it's blank.

Shang Jing nodded:
"She appeared in the middle period, Bai Zhantang's junior sister."

"supporting role?"

"Correct."

"oh oh."

Xu Xin nodded.

He just asked casually.

But Shang Jing suddenly had a flash of inspiration...

Today, Xiao Xu... oh no, Xu Xin came back together, there seems to be a beautiful girl too, right?
Is it...

In other words, the thinking of adults is not as simple as that of children.

Xu Xinzhen asked casually, but Shang Jing had an association because of this sentence.

And, recalling that girl's appearance, temperament...

The role of Zhu Wushuang is actually more like a propellant, which is not too important in Shang Jing's view.

That girl is fine too.

It's pretty after all.

Do investors mean...

After thinking about it, Shang Jing didn't say anything.

Not yet.

……

"Director Shang, when Director Zhang comes back, ask how to invest. Do you have an electronic version here? Send me a copy, so I can take a look?"

Hearing this, Shang Jing said directly:
"Then you can just keep this. I'll print it out later...then I..."

Upon hearing the tone, Xu Xin understood immediately, and said directly:

"Well, let me transfer two hundred to you first? Three hundred? I think it will cost a lot of money to rent the venue and the set building. How about you go to the preparations first? Let me ask what the investment is all about, and then Including splits and the like... let's ask professional people to come up with a plan and discuss it with each other, okay?"

"……Row!"

Sensing the huge trust of the other party who took money inappropriately, Shang Jing nodded directly.

"In this way, you don't need to transfer the money, first get out this investment plan. I also have money here, so I'll put it first, how about it? I'll go back here tomorrow to set a schedule with some actors, okay?"

"it is good!"

He is refreshing, and Xu Xin is also refreshing.

He agreed directly.

So, everyone is happy.

However, the two of them didn't talk about the proportion, but Zhang Wu stood there, and it was impossible for the two of them to open their mouths.

Therefore, the final result was that Shang Jing, who had resolved his heart disease, let out a long sigh of relief.

And Xu Xin returned to the room with the script.

He intends to seize the time to understand this story.

Think of it as fishing time outside of work.

……

"..."

"..."

"..."

In the conference room, there was silence.

There is also a video camera in the corner.

This is what the leaders requested, and they requested to record the influence of everyone in the study of the opening ceremony, so that they could make an Olympic documentary or something in the future.

No one cares.

Wei Lanfang came to play tricks.

Fourteen people just sat in the meeting room, frowning and thinking hard.

This is actually the norm in meetings.

At the beginning, everyone discussed first, and then refuted or agreed with the point of view.

In the end, be quiet and think about your own life.

frown.

Xu Xin was also thinking.

Because he was thinking about what Wuhuan should do.

And just when he was in a trance, suddenly, Zhang Wu's voice sounded:

"One plan, it still won't work."

He stood up:
"Your idea of ​​looking for drums is wrong."

Making a grasping motion, he said under the gaze of everyone:
"Look, you have to reflect the spirit of an actor, right? How do you play the drums? That's it... slap!"

He made a swipe motion:

"When the drumsticks fall, this is the drumhead. This movement is chic and neat. But if you have to look for the drum, and everyone is looking left and right, that person will look very messy."

"How can it be messed up?"

Zhang Yimou shook his head:
"We have designed every link, 1, 2, 3, 4, what beat, where to play... The audience thought we were playing drums, and then one click... one piece, lighted up, and finally formed a five-ring ..."

Zhang Yimou opposed Zhang Wu's view.

Stick to your idea.

This is what he suddenly thought of while eating.

Then he hurriedly ended the dinner party and called everyone to come to the meeting.

The idea is that a group of people will bring materials to the stage, and the audience will not be able to see the five rings, but various drums with strange shapes.

Then everyone started to tap, and after a tap, the spliced ​​parts lit up together.

After finishing the final beating, the five rings are all lit up instantly...

Everyone frowned and continued to think.

Including Zhang Wu who refuted.

But now Xu Xin has followed Zhang Yimou's idea and sketched a rough outline on the paper.

"Director Zhang, is this what you mean?"

He erected the notebook in his hand. On the notebook were five rings that resembled a bird's nest structure. Inside each stood four silhouettes of people. It could be seen that they were holding drumsticks and standing beside the rings. As if ready to strike at any moment.

Zhang Yimou took a look and nodded immediately:

"That's right, that's it."

He got up and walked in front of Xu Xin, picked up Xu Xin's notebook, and said to everyone:

"Look... It's not about fixing four people, but there can be many people. For example, people also form a circle, and then it's like a relay. Boom, boom, boom! Everyone knocks on an area, but it must not be lit at the same time. Just in In the dark, and then these things glow, blah blah blah..."

Dancing and holding a picture to describe to everyone, lifelike.

"Because they don't light up at the same time, the big guys can't see that it is a five rings. Finally, follow the music drum: boom! All five rings light up at once... Then everyone realized that this is the five rings... how about it? "

Then, seeing Ma Wen and the others squinting their eyes, he simply handed Xu Xin's notebook to the others for everyone to read it.

When it fell on Shen Danqing, he looked at it, closed the notebook, got up and walked to the blackboard, with a few strokes, he outlined an outline similar to Xu Xin:
"This kind of design concept is actually disastrous. You see, it's just such a thing. Although the implication of the bird's nest itself is good, if this design concept is to be expressed on the spot... Look, it's just such a structure. Knock inside... think about whether it's messy or not."

He drew more clearly than Xu Xin.

In addition, several black dots were specially marked to simulate the "drum" that Zhang Yimou called.

After everyone figured things out, they fell into deep thought again.

If nothing else...

This plan may be rejected again.

It's actually quite normal.

It's only been a few days of work, and the creative team's plan... basically will be overthrown if it exceeds three days.

Some thought it was very good at the time, and Zhang Yimou might have vetoed it after he slept.

To be honest, this creative mode is quite high-pressure.

Creation of this thing should be carried out in a very relaxed environment, with the least external pressure.

But who made it the Olympics...

……

"I'm done, you go to rest early, I still have to do some things here."

Yang Mi didn't return.

Must be asleep.

Xu Xin glanced at the time, it was almost 12:[-].

But the good thing is that the big guys basically don't have to move tomorrow, just wait for Zhang Yimou's notification.

Xu Xin took a shower, leaned on the bed and turned on the lamp, and picked up the script of "Wulin Biography".

And then...he had a dream.

In the dream, a big wave dressed in tulle was waving at him.

……

7:[-] in the morning.

Xu Xin, who had finished his breakfast for almost an hour, came to the gym.

I have a basketball in my hand.

He asked clearly under the gymnasium, which is the warehouse for storing tables, chairs, benches and linen.

Then don't be afraid of disturbing the people.

Being disturbed by Chunmeng early in the morning, Xu Xin felt a little uncomfortable.

If it weren't for his lack of jumping, he really wanted to do a 360-degree mid-air spin...and hang himself and the ball on the basket.

no way.

Just hold back.

Holding back his strength, he slammed the racket loudly.

Hey!Fadeback jumper!

shuh~
"Um???"

Not to mention the basket, Xu Xin was stunned.

Feel so good?
He picked up the ball and imitated Tracy McGrady to pull it on the spot.

DUANG~
"..."

The familiar sound of iron strikes sounded again.

This is normal.

Pick up the ball again, worship Buddha with three threats, change hands under the crotch, turn around...

Kobe Bryant, fadeaway jumper!
Growing core strength paired with those powerful calves kicking back!
Stretched posture, soft touch...

"Shh!"

"...?????"

Xu Xin's eyes straightened instantly.

Is this going to kick me out of the blacksmith union?
He didn't believe in evil and made another free throw.

Still not close.

then……

Fallback jump shot!

"Shh!"

After scoring three goals in a row, Xu Xin was really dumbfounded.

Feeling the softness of his fingertips, he was really surprised.

Am I possessed by Kobe?

Gradually falling in love with the silky smooth touch, he started playing tricks in the arena as if no one else was around.

What he has always believed in playing basketball is that as long as his posture is handsome, it doesn't matter whether he can score or not.

But today it feels weird.

McGrady is so cool and unrestrained, but he can't make a single pull-up, but the fadeaway jumper is like a missed jumper, no matter how he shoots.

Even Golden Rooster independence let him use it.

After the collocation was deliberately adjusted, and after the one-on-one imitation, it was even worse than Jordan's hand-shaped fallback jumper...

Don't say it, it's really picturesque.

And right now, it's outside the half-court arena...

"Shu~"

When he saw the young man in the court throwing a perfect arc again, maintaining that... looks like imitating Jordan's hand movements, Jay Chou suddenly felt his hands a little itchy.

coach.

I also want to play basketball.

However, the body sculptor, agent, and two assistants around him did not allow it.

Just stuffed two barbells into his hands.

When he came back to his senses, he nodded and heard the sculptor say:

"A group of five, follow my rhythm... mainly to feel here, to keep the muscles in a slightly sore feeling... come..."

After pointing to his chest muscles, Jay Chou collected his thoughts and began to do exercises according to the request of the sculptor with two barbells.

He only has one hour.

After an hour, it's time for a fitting.

He has more than a dozen outfits to try on in this drama, ranging from princely suits to armor.

In order to make his body more powerful and meet the director's requirements, he has been silently building up his muscles for several months.

And today's additional training is also for fitting.

As of last night, he had been off carbs for over 72 hours.

And at the dinner party last night, he only ate white rice.

The reason for this is also very simple.

punch carbon.

Shoot the poster.

People who work out know why many athletes look flat and small before the competition, but they suddenly become "bigger" on the field.

That's why.

As for the scientific principle, it is nothing more than that after the body's carbohydrates are depleted, the body will store more carbohydrates in response to make the muscles fuller all at once.

In order to reflect his might and make the poster more tense, he, who is not a professional bodybuilder, has to do this once, to make his muscles as big as possible, so that the photos will look good.

The whole process of flushing carbon is actually very painful.

But who asked him to cooperate with the great director Zhang Yimou?

In order to listen to the company's words and hit the film and television market, he had to come here.

only……

His head occasionally glances to the side as he stretches to make his muscular lines look more natural...

Looking at the sometimes perfect, sometimes stiff arc, and the young man playing basketball, there is an urge to "get together" in his eyes.

……

One hour, around 8:[-].

Xu Xin, who was completely comfortable playing today, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked up at Jay Chou's team outside who were also about to leave.

He saw each other just now.

But... I'm not familiar with it, so I can't rush forward.

But looking at the opponent's posture, the battle can be big enough.

The whole body is surrounded by seven or eight people.

Pretty intimidating.

He wiped his sweat with a T-shirt, and when he walked out of the gym with a basketball in his hands, he happened to see the other party entering the elevator.

The straight-line distance between the elevator and the gymnasium is about ten to 15 meters.

And after those people got into the elevator, Jay Chou saw Xu Xin coming out, as if he wanted to say something.

But the person next to him has already pressed the close button.

He opened his mouth, but finally said nothing, and looked away.

"Tsk."

Xu Xin smashed it, smashed it.

This is the first real "meeting" between him and Jay Chou.

Unremarkable.

And the reunion came sooner than Xu Xin imagined.

At around 9 o'clock, when Xu Xin was watching "Wulin Biography" in his room, there was a knock on the door.

The "brainless fan" Wei Lanfang's eyes were full of excitement:

"Xiao Xu! Let's go! Come on, go see Jay Chou's fitting!"

"..."

At first Xu Xin thought he was just joining in the fun, so he said:
"Sister Wei, there is still a meeting today!"

"It's just a meeting! Brother Lian Fa and Sister Gong Li will be there today! And Liu Ye will be there too. All the actors have to finish their trials today! Director Zhang said, let's have a meeting over there, and I can give some advice on the costume fitting. Hurry up Yes, let's go..."

"..."

Fine.

Xu Xin could see it.

Sister Wei really likes Jay Chou, not the fake one.

So nodded:
"How many floors?"

"The small conference hall on the third floor."

"Okay...then I'll change my clothes."

He took a shower after playing ball, and he was still wearing pajamas at the moment.

"Uh-huh!"

Wei Lanfang nodded and left, while Xu Xin went downstairs directly after changing into a suit of clothes.

When I came to the third floor, I saw a sign as soon as I got out of the elevator:
"The crew of "The Golden Armor in the City" tried out costumes."

Behind the sign is a corridor.

Standing at the door were four security personnel, as well as Zhang Yimou's assistant surnamed Lin.

This is not the Olympic Building or Qinglan Building, and Xu Xin has to carry his work permit every day.

Just when he was about to talk to the security guard, Assistant Lin greeted Xu Xin:
"Mr. Xu."

"..."

Hearing this title, Xu Xin quickly waved his hands:

"Don't, don't, don't deserve this title."

"Haha, you're welcome...please come in, Director Zhang and the others are already here, so just go straight to the room at the end."

"OK, thanks."

With Assistant Lin, the security personnel would naturally not stop him.

Xu Xin didn't think too much about it, and walked directly inside.

While walking, she also planned to show off to Yang Mi who had already gone to the show:
"Hey, I'm going to see Jay Chou."

Just finished posting and walked to the end of the corridor.

But instead of going directly into the house, here is a small "L" bend.

At the end of the L bend is the room that smells of smoke.

And there were a few people standing at the door.

Xu Xin vaguely felt that these people looked familiar, but before he realized it, these buddies walked towards Xu Xin.

He didn't think much of it at first.

But when a buddy put his hand on his shoulder, he realized something was wrong.

"?"

Pushing away the hand, Xu Xin asked in bewilderment:

"what?"

"Sir, irrelevant personnel please leave."

Irrelevant...?
Listening to this accent is obviously not the words of a mainlander...

To be honest, Xu Xin was really taken aback.

It took a beat in my mind to react.

Oh, are you talking about myself?

He rolled his eyes angrily:

"Sorry, I'm a relevant person, how did I get in if I wasn't a relevant person?"

After speaking, we will go inside.

Then the man put his hand on Xu Xin's shoulder again.

"Snapped."

Slap and exhale.

Xu Xin frowned.

If you want to let go of his previous temper, you may already be annoyed.

But now after he patted the other party's arm away, he still said:
"I'm a member of the opening and closing ceremonies team of the Olympic Games, understand?"

Who knew that these people suddenly surrounded Xu Xin after hearing this.

"Sir, please leave. This is the fitting site for the golden armour, and no one is allowed to enter."

Xu Xin raised his eyebrows.

Just as I was about to say something, a fat girl with glasses came out:
"How many shrimps did you catch? (What's going on)"

She frowned, looked at Xu Xin who was surrounded by several people and asked.

Upon hearing this movement, several people also turned their heads and said a few words to her.

But Xu Xin didn't understand.

Then the girl took a step forward and said in very blunt Mandarin:

"Xiansen, here we are "Curse of the Golden Armor"..."

"I'm saying once, get out of the way, I'm on the Olympic opening and closing ceremonies team."

Xu Xin's patience ran out.

Furious, he directly pushed the person blocking him, and was about to walk into the house.

"Hey, you can't go..."

A few people saw him pushing people and wanted to stop him. At this time, Wei Lanfang also came out from behind the girl wearing glasses:

"Xiao Xu?... What are you doing?"

As soon as she appeared, several people stopped moving immediately, and the fat girl with glasses turned around and saw that it was Wei Lanfang, and hurriedly said:

"Wei Laosi, we have never met this gentleman..."

Before she finished speaking, Xu Xin had already passed her and walked to the door.

He turned his head to look at her, then looked at those people, and said:
"Miss Wei, it's okay, let's go."

"Uh... Mr. Sen..."

The girl wanted to say something, but Xu Xin ignored her and walked inside.

Entering the room, I saw that besides the team members, there were also some crew members of "Golden Armor", including the action director/assistant director Cheng Xiaodong, and a group of people were chatting around the big conference table.

There was not much movement at the door just now, so the people inside didn't know about these things.

Only Wei Lanfang and the fat girl who were at the door heard it.

Xu Xin didn't say anything, and walked to the conference table with Wei Lanfang who seemed to understand what happened. After sitting down next to each other, Wei Lanfang asked:
"There was no conflict?"

Her voice was quite low.

Xu Xin shook his head:
"No, the fire is suppressed, so it won't happen."

At the end, I asked a question:
"These people don't sound like mainlanders, are they from Fa Ge's side or Jay Chou's side?"

"Jay Chou's side."

"...The signature is probably missing."

"It's okay, they dare not."

Wei Lanfang shook his head:

"The subordinates are the subordinates, so they can't be affected, don't worry."

Then came a very honest sentence:
"You can't, I'll go... I'll just say the director, Xiao Xu asked me to ask you for a hundred autographs..."

"puff……"

Xu Xin, who was still a little angry in his heart, was immediately amused by these words.

"What are you two doing?"

Ma Wen, who was sitting opposite, was a little curious.

Then just after asking this question, the smoking Zhang Wu said:

"I guess it's bad."

Then several team members sitting next to each other laughed out loud.

Everyone is familiar with each other and the atmosphere is harmonious, so there is not so much distance between them.

Xu Xin said directly:
"Sister Wei said to invite everyone to dinner at noon."

"Hey you..."

Seeing the speechless Wei Lanfang, the group of people laughed even louder.

Even the people on Huang Jinjia's side looked over.

And all of this was seen by the fat girl standing at the door.

His brows slowly frowned.
