I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 97 095. Put the meat in the pot

"Old... teacher."

While Yang Mi was reading the script while Gong Li was vomiting, she suddenly heard a timid voice.

Hearing this, she raised her head and saw a nervous face.

There were two people.

The two maids behind him.

Yang Mi nodded, and got up subconsciously:

"Hello, what's the matter?"

"...Thank you just now."

Zhao Liying hesitated for a moment, and bowed to Yang Mi.

Because of the broken sour plum soup just now, Director Liu asked him to take a break.

After walking into the corner, Zhao Liying "complained" to Zhang Jiao:
"Hey, I was too nervous just now... Fortunately, the director didn't care..."

But Zhang Jiao shook her head:
"We have to thank people."

Zhao Liying was taken aback for a moment, and asked:

"You mean the girl?"

"Correct."

Zhang Jiao nodded:
"She reminded us just now. If it weren't for the two "go" and the line that was yelled in advance, if we make mistakes again, we will definitely be replaced by the director."

"……Um."

After thinking about it, Zhao Liying nodded after realizing that this was indeed the case... Then she took her friend along to thank her.

After hearing what the two said, Yang Mi shook her head:
"It's okay, come on, I'll continue reading the script."

After she finished speaking, she sat down again, lowered her head and continued to figure out for a while how to handle her expression in close-ups.

Thank you from these two people... She didn't care much.

Or that there is no need to care.

It's not that she is superior to others, but that she doesn't care.

Those two openings were indeed intentional.

I want to give a hint to the people behind me.

But the more reason is that I don't want to play my first play, but because of other people's reasons, there are continuous bumps.

Not even a ensemble cast.

It's about making a good impression on everyone.

So...it's unnecessary to say thank you or not.

She is also doing it for her own good.

When Zhang Jiao and Zhao Liying saw her attentive appearance, they were very sensible and didn't say much, and silently stepped aside.

At this time, Xu Xin walked over.

"Eh."

Upon hearing this movement, Yang Mi raised her head.

Compared with the calmness just now, the smile on her face is much more comfortable now.

"what's wrong?"

"..."

Xu Xin looked away from her, squatted beside her, and said:

"Really dedicated."

"No, it's okay...this is what I should do."

"..."

The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched, and he rolled his eyes speechlessly:

"I said Teacher Gong Li."

"Uh……"

Yang Mi's expression froze.

Then he stomped his feet speechlessly:
"Why are you so annoying!"

The two girls next to her looked at her coquettishly.

Especially Zhao Liying.

In her eyes, the director Xu in front of her has already hooked up with a "dog".

Not that he is a dog.

It was the face that changed so fast.

In her hometown, this kind of change is very fast. People who are breezy in one second and thunderous in the next will be called "dog faces".

You have a dog face.

It means that this person's face-changing speed is very fast.

No insult meant, just fear...

I'm afraid Director Xu will suddenly change his face after hearing the words of this "Mimi Teacher"...

Unfortunately, she was delusional.

Xu Xin just chuckled lightly:
"what."

Then he said:

"I went to see Teacher Gong Li with Director Zhang just now... Didn't the sour plum soup go bad? Teacher Gong vomited there. The makeup artist wanted to touch up the makeup, but she refused to let her look more natural. Director Zhang asked her to rest , She said that this state is more suitable for a queen who just got sick... Tsk tsk."

A chuckle turned into emotion:
"Actors of the older generation... can really endure hardships, they are so dedicated."

"Ah."

Yang Mi nodded:
"It's true... I can actually endure hardships, but I prefer sour ones."

"..."

Xu Xin rolled his eyes angrily, and stood up:

"I'll ask you vinegar for the pork rib soup at noon. If you don't drink half a bottle, I'll put on shoes for you in the afternoon."

"Hey~ wear it, wear it, wear it now if you have the ability~"

Seeing the girl's smiling face, Xu Xin shook his head amusedly:
"Come on in a while, the two scenes just now were well handled."

"Ah."

Yang Mi lowered her head again.

And Xu Xin got up and walked back to Zhang Yimou.

aside.

Zhao Liying and Zhang Jiao looked at each other...

No one said anything.

……

Continue shooting.

Be honest.

After watching the close-up shots of Yang Mi and Gong Li, Xu Xin was really pleasantly surprised.

This girl is in really good shape.

If the audition last night, the eight Jay Chou is the ceiling, then today such a scene with Gong Li...

Gong Li naturally didn't need to say much.

There are golden sweat beads on the temples on the forehead, and the slightly pale complexion on the face, matching that kind of micro-expression...

She is a movie queen, so it's not a problem at all.

And Yang Mi gave him a lot of surprises.

The kind of "little dissatisfaction", "little contempt", and "little care" are just right.

Ten Jay Chou leaned in.

The first scene of serving medicine ended perfectly.

Then came the second game.

The crew moved to the medicated dining room.

The emperor played by Zhou Renfa comes on stage...

……

Zhang Yimou started making up the scenes that were delayed because of "Jiang Chan".

Not to mention, the shooting this morning was pretty smooth.

Fa Ge and Gong Li were evenly matched, and no one was worse than the other.

Watching Xu Xin was quite enjoyable.

The timeline of the script of "Golden Armor" is actually just a few days' work.

The time of "Yinshi, Shenshi, Sishi" in the scene is equivalent to helping the audience understand the timeline crossed.

Every time Jiang Chan appeared, she appeared at the exact time.

The same is true in the pharmacy.

But this scene basically has nothing to do with her.

It is the "struggle" between the emperor and the queen.

The two film kings and actresses, put together a couple who seem to be in harmony with each other, yet still put on airs when they hate each other to the bone... Through micro-expressions and small movements, they are vividly revealed.

After the two scenes were filmed, the whole morning passed like this.

Gong Li didn't lie.

She was firing on all cylinders.

The progress is frighteningly fast.

Xu Xin reckons...at this rate, the filming of the scene may be over in less than a month.

To know……

This is a movie...

Gee.

Thinking of this, his eyes were filled with emotion.

Until a piece of braised fish landed on top of his rice.

"Eat it, I'll eat the half of the small thorn, the rest is the big thorn."

Yang Mi said after taking a sip of the meal.

"Really, Director Zhang's box lunch is much more delicious than "Sculpture of God"... "Sculpture of God" is just chicken legs and duck legs with fluff on top...I didn't expect to have braised fish here. "

Xu Xin glanced at the fish in his lunch box, and casually handed her the sliced ​​marinated egg:

"Tonight is a lingering scene with Liu Ye, are you nervous?"

"……nervous."

The girl glanced at him first, then nodded:
"I'm afraid I'll be ashamed..."

"Actually, it's not as complicated as you think. There are no intimate shots. It's just that when you come out of the bed curtain, you wear less clothes."

"..."

Yang Mi glanced at him again...

This time I looked more seriously than before.

After a while, she responded:
"Well...but I think Mr. Liu Ye...is not very easy to get in touch with."

"He's into the show. He's an experientialist..."

"……what?"

Now, she was really surprised:
"Experience school?"

"That's right, the patriarch is chasing after the meal. The talent of a template guy like you is so high that I don't know where he is."

"...Annoying, bring it here, I won't eat it for you!"

Angrily, she took back the half fish that Xu Xin had just caught, and the girl pouted:
"The experience school is amazing! It's easy to get depressed... If I'm also an experience school, what if I get depression?"

"Go and watch Guo Degang's cross talk."

"..."

Yang Mi was even more speechless.

If depression is really so curable, it can be cured by listening to a cross talk, then it can't be called a disease.

"Oops you stole my fish!"

"What is your fish? You just gave it to me! You stole it from me! You also stole my eggs!"

"oops……"

The noise of the two caught the attention of the surrounding circle.

But after looking at it twice, they each turned their heads.

Hi.

this thing...

Who has never been young?
right.

……

After lunch, Zhang Wu found Xu Xin:
"Xiao Xu."

"Director Zhang, what's the matter?"

Xu Xin stood up.

"You come back with me. The person I found for you who knows how to invest has arrived. You can meet me."

"Huh? Okay."

Xu Xin nodded, and after glancing at Yang Mi next to him, seeing her nodding, he didn't say any more, and walked out with Zhang Wu.

"Director Zhang, this... is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

"No. It's not that many things. The person who came today is the daughter of my old comrade-in-arms, and Lao Shang also knows her. You are actually about the same age, she is older than you."

"……what?"

Xu Xin was taken aback:
"A young man?"

Hearing this, Zhang Wu thought that Xu Xin was afraid of being unreliable, so he asked with a smile:

"Do you know the company Vivendi?"

"never heard of that."

"It is a well-known entertainment group in France. The daughter of my old comrade-in-arms went to study in France, and applied for a job in the film and television investment department there. Originally, this child had a bright future...but my old This is the only girl in the comrade-in-arms family, and seeing that the girl is almost 30 years old, she is still floating outside...that place abroad...how should I put it."

The two got into a commercial vehicle of the crew.

"France is a strange place. There are strikes every day. It's the same every year... No, last year there was a strike in the actor industry. When her father heard about it, he immediately asked his daughter to resign and come back. At first, this girl didn't Agreed, but in the end her father went directly to Paris and was "detained" by someone. When he came back, he was not allowed to leave, saying that he would develop in China. He meant to let her take the exam, but this girl is also stubborn. If you let me come back, I would rather Not coming back. Even if you escort me back, I will not follow your wishes. If you ask me to go on a blind date, I will go on a trip, and if you ask me to take an exam, I will have to start my own business..."

"..."

People haven't seen it yet.

But from Zhang Wu's mouth, Xu Xin already understood that this person is probably a thorn...

And Zhang Wu also seemed to feel that what he said was wrong, so he quickly waved his hands:

"Don't think too much, I'm not saying that this kid has a problem with his ability. On the contrary, this kid's business level is nothing to say. The few projects that participated in the investment decision-making in France were not bad. But after returning to China... ...Sigh, young people like freedom. Why doesn't her father listen to her arrangement, and worry about my old comrade-in-arms. I think the two of you should hit it off..."

"Does that mean we're both willful?"

Xu Xin was speechless, and handed Zhang Wu a cigarette in a funny way, saying:
"Then can people listen to me?"

"Let's talk...Xiao Xu, I still believe in your ability. Young people get in touch with each other more, and more friends have more paths."

Zhang Wu seemed to have a deep meaning and said.

And Xu Xin blinked twice, then nodded:
"understood."

"Well, you young people are easy to communicate with. What's more...Lao Shang is my old classmate and comrade-in-arms, and so is he. Get in touch with me. I'm standing here. At least I can give her dad a reassurance. You The side affairs are not delayed."

"Understood, Director Zhang."

Seeing Xu Xin's clear look, Zhang Wu also nodded in satisfaction:

"Well, that's fine. I won't participate in a while, and you can handle other things yourself. Don't worry, with me around, people are absolutely reliable."

"Eh, come on."

Xu Xin nodded to express his understanding.

Director Zhang has said so, and the meaning is actually very obvious.

Shang Jing has friendship with Director Zhang, and the father of this strange "friend" who can help him invest also has friendship with Director Zhang.

Because of my own investment, both sides have friendship, and then it will be easy to talk.

At least, if everyone can't buy or sell, benevolence and righteousness can still exist.

At the same time... the phrase "make friends" is actually saying to myself:
"She is trustworthy, and she is sure to make friends."

But for Zhang Wu to say this sentence... the things behind it are worth weighing for Xu Xin.Although he didn't know if this was what Director Zhang wanted to convey, but the current attitude was indeed that of "good meat rots in the pot".

He understands this.

Then let's have a good chat.

Thousands, not many.

Many friends are many paths.

This time the investment was entrusted to the other party. Regardless of whether "Wulin Biography" lost money or not, at least Dao Zhang, Dao Shang, and that "friend" gave enough face to buy the horse bone.

Director Zhang should mean that, right?
……

In the coffee shop, Zhang Wu just entered, and after looking around, he identified a person.

Shouted with a smile:
"Ink."

Following the direction he was looking, Xu Xin saw a girl with short parted hair, a big earring on the exposed ear, and a very formal professional suit...or sister.

Age about 27 eight?
A well-dressed mature body.

She doesn't look pretty with makeup on, but she's definitely not ugly either.

A very sassy looking sister.

"Uncle Zhang."

The elder sister stood up, stepped on her high heels and moved out of the seat, then shouted politely and respectfully.

"Good guy, it's really changed."

Zhang Wu walked forward with a smile, said hello and said:
"Why did you cut your hair?"

"... long hair is too difficult to manage."

Hearing this, Zhang Wu shook his head slightly:

"No wonder your dad got so angry... What will you do when you get married like this?"

Unexpectedly, this sister didn't answer the conversation at all, but looked at Xu Xin behind him.

Obviously don't want to answer this question.

Seeing this, Zhang Wu did not continue to ask, and turned to say:
"He is Xu Xin. Has your father told you the specific things?"

"Say it, Uncle Zhang. Then... shall we chat?"

"Ah."

Zhang Wu had no objection and nodded:
"Xiao Xu, this is Liu Momo, Wendao Liu, the ink of ink. Just call me sister."

"Well, hello, Miss Mo."

Xu Xin greeted politely.

And Liu Momo obviously knew him, and stretched out his hand politely:

"Hello, Xu Xin, I'm Liu Momo."

"Okay, then you two talk, Mo Mo, is the room ready? I'll take you to the set in the afternoon to have a look, and we'll have dinner together in the evening, and we're leaving tomorrow."

Hearing Zhang Wu's words, Liu Momo nodded:
"Good Uncle Zhang."

"Well, let's talk then."

Zhang Wu waved goodbye.

And Xu Xin sat across from these sassy-looking sisters.

"What to drink?"

she asked.

"A pot of Longjing."

Xu Xin said something to the waiter who rushed over, and at the same time gave her room card:

"Calculate together."

Liu Momo has a pot of coffee over there.

The waiter nodded and left.

Xu Xin cut straight to the point:
"Sister Mo, you understand that I want to invest in Director Shang's movie, right?"

"Well, but I don't recommend you vote."

"...?"

Xu Xin was speechless immediately.

I didn't expect it to be so straightforward...

Seeing his strange expression, Liu Momo continued to shake his head, shaking the big earring and said:

"Costume, chapter style, and sitcom. These three elements, no matter what I think, will be a disaster when put together. Therefore, I don't recommend you to vote. You have a high risk of losing money, and even... say you are doomed to lose everything. Not too much."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xin became interested instead.

It's not about her pessimistic attitude towards "Wulin Biography", but...

"In that case, sister Mo, why did you come?"

"Because I heard that you contributed personally."

"so?"

Facing Xu Xin's question, Liu Momo didn't hide it, and said directly:

"I want to set up an investment company of my own, and I need investors. One that doesn't need to look at my father's face to agree to invest, and doesn't need so many shareholders to do their best to squeeze and restrict, single horizontal decision-making, flattening The company I manage. Some of the investors I know either have a different purpose and enter the entertainment industry for another purpose...or they want to use my springboard to go to my father... Understand?"

"Uh……"

Suddenly, Xu Xin felt that Director Zhang hadn't told him the truth.

What is the origin of this sister's father?
It seems to be more exaggerated than the subtext in Director Zhang's words...

After thinking for a while, he asked tentatively:

"So, you want to build your own business?"

"Yes, the kind that is completely separated from my family and relies purely on my own efforts."

"..."

For no reason, he thought this sister was quite hypocritical.

But he still nodded:
"So, this is the main purpose of your coming to see me?"

"Yes... On the one hand, I want to see what kind of individual investor Uncle Zhang admires. On the other hand, I want to impress you with my sincerity and let you get back the investment."

Liu Momo shook her head seriously:
"It's really not worth the 1000 million. And if you choose to trust me..."

She mentioned the briefcase:

"I still have a few projects that I focused on when I was at Vivendi. Their investment is also not much, but I think every story is very good. But before you explicitly reject "Wulin Biography", I can't Show it to you, because that would make it look like I have ulterior motives."

Not to mention, once her words appeared, Xu Xin's impression of her improved a lot.

Although he still felt that the other party was hypocritical just now, but now he saw his shadow in her.

Although he doesn't quite agree with the other party's choice of "I want independence, I want freedom"... Think about it, you are the only child in the family, and the parents work hard for you?

But now you have to rebelliously choose to go out of the house, completely eliminate the "connection" with the family, and achieve your own career.

From Xu Xin's point of view, this was incomprehensible.

Because it reminded him of Xu Miao's dream of being a train driver.

Dad said at the meal before he left that he was sorry for Big Brother.And the eldest brother also chose to sacrifice his dream, and helped his father manage the company after returning... thus fulfilling Xu Xin himself.

From the time my father said the words "Sanjin, then don't come back" and allowed himself to develop outside, he has become exactly the same as the sister in front of him.

On his side, Xu Miao sacrificed his dream and made himself a younger brother.

On the other side, they also chose to "escape" their original family and develop independently.

Essentially, the two are pretty much the same.

And thinking about what Director Zhang said just now... I think the other party's father should be thinking very simply.

My daughter is too far away, it is inconvenient to go abroad.

So have to come back.

And after coming back... the daughter wanted to start a business, and the old father would definitely support her whether she wanted to or not.

But the daughter knew very clearly what she was thinking... What she was looking for must not be an investor who wanted to use herself as a springboard to get close to her father.

That would cause trouble for my father.

So, it's not that she's hypocritical.

Rather she was sober.

On the one hand, he wants to have his own business, but on the other hand, after experiencing his father's good intentions, he knows how to sympathize with each other.

That should be the meaning, right?

Thinking of this, he suddenly asked:
"So, you don't want to cause trouble for... your father, do you?"

"!?"

Now it was Liu Momo's turn to show surprise.

She seemed surprised why the other party would understand this, and she was a little unsure...

After thinking about it, she chose a question with some logical traps:
"How did you know?"

If Zhang Wu said it, then this matter will be discussed elsewhere.

But it shouldn't feel like it to her.

So she wanted to set the other party's words.

Xu Xin didn't hide it, and said directly:
"Because I have an older brother who wanted to be a train driver, but had to come back home after graduation to help my dad run the family business."

"Uh……"

It could be seen that Liu Momo didn't understand.

Or I can't figure it out... Is there any inevitable connection between my brother who wants to be a train driver and himself.

But Xu Xin didn't intend to explain, but asked directly:

"Sister Mo, have you read the script of "Wulin Biography"?"

"Seen."

Liu Momo nodded, then flipped through her bag, and took out a document:
"This is my investment estimate, and a combination of recent sitcom ratings, market prospects, and audience reputation on the Internet in recent years, such as "Family with Children", "The Story of the Cooking Class", and "I Love My Family" Waiting for the report, you can read it. I really don’t recommend you to vote for the drama "Wulin Biography."

Xu Xin didn't speak.

After taking over the file and opening it, you will see a directory:
1. Market analysis of sitcoms

2. Profit survey on derivative products, copyright, and advertising revenue of "Family with Children"

3. The return on investment of "The Story of the Cooking Class", "Urban Men and Women", and "Health Express"

4. Forecast of "Wulin Biography"

5. Summary
This document is about seven or eight pages long.

And when Xu Xin saw the "summary", he didn't even need to look over it. The final summary must be the opinion of "not recommending investment".

But I have to mention...

He probably flipped through the information, and from the ratings charts, various trend charts, tables and the like, as well as the dense handwriting, he could understand that the other party had really worked hard.

After thinking about it, he continued to ask:
"What do you think of the story of "Wulin Biography"?"

"The story is not bad."

"But you still don't recommend that I vote?"

"Yes."

"Is that so..."

After thinking about it, he shook his head:
"That's a pity. I still decided to invest in it. It seems that we can't reach a cooperation."

"..."

Liu Momo was startled.

Subconsciously asked:

"why?"

"……what why?"

"Would you like to take a closer look at this document of mine? You will understand that there are reasons why so many investors rejected him."

"I know."

Xu Xin nodded:
"I will read this document and read it carefully, because it is obviously the result of your hard work, and I have no reason to ignore the value of your labor."

"Then why are you still voting?"

Liu Momo looked more and more puzzled.

Now Xu Xin was happy:
"Ha. Because I said it, I like the story of it."

"..."

A trace of absurdity inevitably appeared on Liu Momo's face:
"Just like it? Is this a reason? Just because I like it, it will cost more than 1000 million?"

"if not?"

Xu Xin gave her a very strange look.

"That's 1000 million!"

"Hmm."

Seeing that her tone became more and more ridiculous, Xu Xin nodded, and then asked in a tone of "you are so strange":
"is it a lot?"

"..."

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the corners of Liu Momo's eyes began to twitch non-stop...

This made Xu Xin even more curious.

According to speculation, this father should have a lot of energy.

But look at her cautious attitude... and because of the 1000 million, she can't control her facial features...

But how is it like "have never seen money".

Is it...

Subconsciously, Xu Xin was in awe.

But he didn't dare to think about it carefully, and there was no need to think about it carefully.

Because if it was as he guessed, then her father would really be worthy of respect.And if it's some other reason...then he doesn't need to inquire.

Didn't Director Zhang say that there are many friends and many paths.

What's more, it is really rare for her to have such a clear understanding.

Thinking of this, he pressed the evaluation report in his hand on the table and said:

"It seems that we are destined to be unable to reach an agreement on the matter of "Wulin Biography", so let's talk about other things. For example... Sister Mo, how much start-up capital do you need?"

Looking at Liu Momo who was feeling a little lost, Xu Xin asked with a smile.

Didn't Director Zhang say that?

Put the meat in the pot.

Since the soup is not enough, you don't mind if I add an extra scoop of water, right?
