I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 116 114. The journey is similar, the future can be expected

   "Sister Mimi, Liu Yifei is here."

  Yang Mi was bored watching Jay Chou and the others playing there, waiting for her boyfriend to come back.

  After hearing Sun Ting's reminder suddenly, he looked back and saw Liu Tianxian who was warming up in front of the treadmill.

  She nodded and got up:

   "Dani, then I'll go first."

   "Ok~"

  Out of the arena, Yang Mi shouted directly:

   "One Philippine."

  Liu Yifei turned her head to look, and waved her hand:

   "Mimi... I met Xu Xin just now, he just went down, you..."

   "He suddenly has something."

  Yang Mi explained a sentence, walked to her side and said:

   "The crew is almost over, right?"

   "It's coming soon. It's probably half a month at most. If it's soon, it may be ten days."

   After several warm-up exercises, Liu Yifei stepped on the treadmill.

   "What about your side?"

   "Estimated three to five days."

  Yang Mi gave an approximate time.

  Liu Yifei nodded and said again:

   "Then what are your plans for the next step?"

"Well…"

  Yang Mi thought for a while, then shook her head:

   "Go back to school, I don't have any plans for now. What are you doing? Can you introduce me to a good character?"

  She was joking, but Liu Yifei nodded:

   "I actually received an invitation for a movie two days ago, it was..."

   "Don't don't don't."

  She didn't even say her name, Yang Mi quickly shook her head and interrupted her:

   "I'm just kidding, I feel exhausted playing Jiang Chan this time, and I plan to go back and study hard. But don't..."

  She has no intention of listening, nor does she want to hear.

  Because if you listen to it, you will lose your favor. After all, no matter whether you want this role or not, I will tell you anyway.

  So she interrupted Liu Yifei directly and asked:

   "Then why don't you play it yourself?"

   "...I want to act in a movie."

"Well…"

  Yang Mi was taken aback, and looked at the girl who was walking fast to warm up, and saw her walking while saying:

   "Looking at the scale of director Zhang's crew, I feel that TV dramas are different from movies after all, so I plan to try movies next."

   "..."

   Now Yang Mi doesn't know what to say.

  There is indeed a gap between movies and TV series, this is an iron fact.

  While some actors can act in TV dramas, acting in movies requires more...opportunities and more detailed differences in the direction of acting skills.

   But after all, Yang Mi is quite envious...

  If you want to act in a TV series, you can act in a TV series, if you want to make a movie, you can make a movie...

   Tsk tsk.

  She showed an envious look on her face:

   "That's great~"

   "...You have acted in movies, and you are still in Director Zhang's crew, and you still say I am good?"

  Liu Yifei had a dumbfounding expression on his face.

   But Yang Mi shook her head:

   "I'm lucky. I'm talking about a supporting role... If you want to play, it must be a heroine. Can it be the same... Sigh."

   Sighing exaggeratedly, she shook her head:

   "The gap between people is too big~"

   "Pfft...haha~ Who did you learn from?"

   "Hey hey hey..."

   After talking and laughing for a while, Yang Mi saw that she had walked almost a kilometer, so she patted the treadmill:

   "Okay, then I'll go down."

"Uh-huh."

   "Let's go, goodbye~"

"bye."

  The two waved goodbye, and Yang Mi walked all the way out of the gym.

  This time, there was no such exaggerated envy or anything on her face.

   To put it bluntly, it’s just a compliment.

   She is not envious.

   Or I envy the other party for being able to get the opportunity that others have worked hard for so easily, but I don't envy the other party's upcoming path at all.

  Because... After seeing Gong Li's performance, she vaguely felt that as far as the actor itself is concerned, acting skills should be more important than anything else.

  Frequently accepting plays, acting or whatever, is not necessarily a good thing for acting skills.

   This is the common feeling of herself and her boyfriend.

  People always need a process of recharging. After the energy is exhausted, they will be replenished with new knowledge and understanding in time. So this is why it often takes one, two, or even three or four years for some actors to release their next work after a play.

  According to what my boyfriend said, some people regard acting as a job to make money, and some people regard acting as a tool to make money, but there are always people... who really love the acting career and respect every role they interpret from the bottom of their hearts.

   Those who can leave a name in film history and be remembered by the world must be the last kind of people.

  She didn't have a particularly clear concept of what she said at the beginning. However, as I stayed longer and longer in the crew, I saw the hard-working attitude of teachers such as Liu Ye, Gong Li, Zhou Renfa, and Ni Dahong towards the characters, as well as the inspiration they got from some ordinary chats. .

  The girl suddenly felt that... what her boyfriend said was right.

   Whether it is red or not, depends on fate.

  You just work hard and leave everything to God.

   Instead of pursuing so-called red too much, or what to do, it is better to enrich yourself in a down-to-earth manner.

  As far as acting skills are concerned, she knows that she still lacks a lot, whether it is skills, content, or martial arts, etc...Compared with Gong Li, she is really nothing.

  So we have to take advantage of this best time to lay a solid foundation.

  As for Liu Tianxian's point of view that "acting in TV series is boring, I want to act in a movie"... In the past, she might be very envious.

  Look at other people, you can do whatever you want, that's great.

  But now that I think about it...it seems like that. Whether it's a movie or a TV series... just do it well.

   I got the salary, I got the role... The role is reasonable, there should be no distinction between high and low, it’s nothing more than whether you are attracted or not.

  Actors themselves...it's better not to set rules for yourself to only act in movies...or only act in TV series.

  The character is not guilty, the person who said this will only make people feel very narrow.

   In front of actors, all characters are equal.

   It is enough to interpret with your heart.

  Before, she wouldn't think so.

   Now, she thinks so.

   And thinking of this... She wanted to lie in her boyfriend's arms and listen to him give her life education lessons.

  My good brother is humorous and funny in class, his voice is nice, and the most important thing is... handsome~

  Thinking of this, she quickly picked up the phone and typed:

   "Brother, where are you? Hurry up before Sister Zeng doesn't come to see me, I miss you..."

  Recalling the biggest obstacle that prevented her from lying in her boyfriend's arms these days... Yang Mi rolled her eyes in displeasure...

  Why didn’t I see before that Sister Zeng has the potential to be a monitor...

   For so many days, I have called my boyfriend a strict guard... I almost didn't have a dog at the door.

   Really...

  Maybe my boyfriend never thought about it, one day he will dig a hole with his own hands and bury himself... Hehe...

   "Om."

  The message came back:

   "Come to my room, I'll tell you something."

  Seeing the words from Xu Xin, the girl suddenly spat:

   "Bah, prudish~"

  …

  Going back to the floor, after making sure that there was no one around, Yang Mi hurried to Xu Xin's room.

   I'm afraid that sister Zeng will come out of some room without anyone noticing.

   "Boom boom boom!"

   "Captain, don't shoot, it's me~~~"

   After a few seconds, the door opened.

  Xu Xin has a black line:

   "I thought you led the devil into the village."

   "Hey hey hey~...eh?"

   Not long after she smiled smugly, she was suddenly pulled into the room by her boyfriend, and then directly kicked against the wall.

"Well…"

  Stir first, and when she was about to turn into a fish to die, she quickly forcibly pulled her boyfriend's head to his neck.

  The stubble of the main boyfriend is a bit hard, and when you shave her, you will get goose bumps.

  The taste is the same as passive massage, itching as much as you want, and as refreshing as you want.

   At this time, she had the time to speak:

   "Brother...um~ what's the matter with you? Why are you so excited?"

   Squinting her eyes, she tried to make her words as clear as possible.

   There is no way, otherwise this passage will have to be silenced.

   "Torch has entered the top three."

  Xu Xin rubbed the tip of his nose against his girlfriend's earlobe, and his voice sounded like a murmur, but there was a flame of enthusiasm in his voice, which rose instantly.

  Yang Mi was taken aback...

"…What?"

  Xu Xin didn't look up, but still greedily breathed in the fragrance that belonged to his girlfriend, and said word by word:

   "I said, the torch I designed was finally selected. There are three design drawings, and so far...my score is the highest!"

   "..."

  Yang Mi was stunned again.

   Then, not knowing what to do, she forcibly pushed her boyfriend away, staring straight at him with a pair of eyes:

   "..."

   seems to be distinguishing whether he is telling the truth or lying.

  It seems to be trying hard to digest this...a fact that makes people...unbelievable.

  Olympics, that's it!

  Torch! !

   O torch spread throughout the world! ! !

  The torch will be passed from Greece to Yanjing little by little!

  This... What an honorable thing, being able to participate in it can be said to be worth remembering for a lifetime.

  Can now...

  Suddenly "someone"...

   Or the people around you, tell yourself at once:

   "Hey, the torch I designed entered the top three, with the highest score."

this…

   Isn’t this a joke! ?

  Who will believe it?

   Dare to believe it?

  Such a big human event, such a big national event...

   Wheel got you?

Can…

The issue is…

   It's really my turn! ?

  A sense of absurdity and not knowing whether to be ecstatic... wanting to be ecstatic but afraid of ecstasy transition. The FLAG was erected, and the girl who lost her milk was completely dumbfounded.

  What should I say?

  Why do I feel like you are lying to me?

  Or...what if I say something crow-mouthed, and this good thing...is lost?

  She suddenly didn't know what to do.

  Olympics! !

  If boyfriend can really become...

  I...Damn it!

  For a while, she neither advanced nor retreated.

  Finally, Xu Xin couldn't take it anymore.

   I haven't kissed enough yet.

   Then he opened his hand:

   "What are you thinking? Jump up by yourself!"

   "..."

  Yang Mi was stunned...

Then…

"ah!!"

   With a scream, she threw herself directly into Xu Xin's arms.

  After the heavy weight of a hundred or so catties hit her boyfriend, her legs snapped like pincers, and she hugged Xu Xin's head and kissed him.

Forget it.

   Don’t talk anymore, can’t I not talk anymore?

  My dear!

  Today I want to kiss enough!

  Not for anything else, just to get the fairy spirit...

  …

   "Brother~"

  Cuddled in her boyfriend's arms on the messy big bed, she tried her best to lean back.

   "Hold me tighter, I have something to tell you."

"What's wrong?"

  Xu Xin temporarily pulled his hand out of her clothes, and asked while still touching her waist.

   "...will you always be nice to me?"

"you still need to ask?"

   Scratching the stubble on his girlfriend's shoulder little by little, he gently smiled:

   "Not to you, who am I to?"

"…Um."

  The girl with goosebumps again bit her lip... The entanglement in her eyes slowly turned into firmness following these words.

   "Brother, I make a promise with you."

   "Say it."

   "Wait... the day the results are announced... that's the day the Olympic torch announces the results..."

   "Well, what?"

   "I... give you myself as a gift!"

   "..."

   Scratch a meal.

  Xu Xin instinctively wanted to pull her over, looking at her expression.

  The girl pressed her shoulder and said:

   "You... don't touch me."

   "...you turn around and look at me."

   "I don't want it, I'm shy... I'm afraid I won't be able to say it..."

  The girl whose ears had started to turn red continued to turn her back to him, and said word by word:

   "Because... I can't think of anything more suitable than myself as a gift for that day! Even if you lose the election."

"…What?"

  Xu Xin was speechless, unable to laugh or cry:

   "What do you mean by this?...Although I can understand the former, why is the latter so strange?"

   As he spoke, he was about to bite the tip of that puffy ear.

   In the end, he was pushed away by his girlfriend again:

"Don't make trouble, let me tell you the truth... because I think so, if you really succeed, then I must be happy for you. Just... I like you, but I like you, and you Dote on me so much...As long as you think about it, brother, let alone myself, I will pick all the stars in the sky for you!"

  Hearing this slightly domineering sweet talk, Xu Xin's heart softened...

   subconsciously tightened her grip.

   "Well... then if you don't choose, you can give it?"

"Give!"

  There was a hint of determination in the girl's voice:

   "It's such a big deal, it's come to this point, in case of losing the election... Bah bah bah! Bah!"

   After spat hard, she said:

   "I mean if, you know? If!"

"Um."

  Xu Xin didn't care, and asked:

"What's wrong?"

   "I just thought, what if you get to this point, but suddenly you are not selected... how sad you are."

   "..."

  Xu Xin froze.

  He is actually afraid of this too.

   I'm afraid that if I don't choose in the end...

  Didn’t even dare to think about it.

   But now it was brought up by his girlfriend.

   Then, I heard... probably the most beautiful sentence he has ever heard in his life:

   "You are so sad... I can't think of any way to comfort you except giving me to you... So, brother, don't worry. Whether you succeed or fail...I..."

   Speaking of this, she paused.

  The tip of the ear is getting redder and redder.

   "I'll give you everything!"

   "..."

  Xu Xin was stunned.

   Immediately, there was a surge of warmth in my heart... never felt before.

  It was so warm that his nose was a little sore.

  In order to cover up, he buried his head in his girlfriend's neck again, and with the help of his skin, let out a soft hum from his nose:

   "Well, thanks."

   "..."

   Now it was Yang Mi's turn to stiffen.

  The girl who was so moved to a mess just a second ago turned around:

  “…what did you just say to me?…thank you?”

"Well…"

  Looking at her boyfriend's stunned expression...

   "Okay, Sun Thief! Tell me thank you, right?"

  The girl's eyes turned from affectionate to dangerous, and she directly A'ed up under Xu Xin's embarrassed expression!

  I'll kill you!

  …

  May 5th, night.

  The "Golden Armor" crew's Hengdian court scene, accompanied by Zhou Renfa with disheveled hair, walked out of the palace step by step with old and faltering steps, and it was completely over.

   "No problem, it's over!"

  When Liu Guonan's voice resounded through the walkie-talkie, the crew let out a moderate cheer.

"oh!!"

   "Wow la la la la la la..."

  Next, only Wulong's role remains.

  Gong Li has already finished everything.

  They will not go to Wulong.

  The production crew did not go directly to Wulong, mainly because there was a scene where the Tianguan Station over there hung a rope and descended from the top of the mountain. The safety requirements were relatively high, and the relevant departments had to wait for acceptance.

  So the crew will disband first and go back to rest.

   After all, it has been out for more than a month.

   Then wait for the security audit to pass before they will meet again there.

  At this moment, it is already the last scene.

  The crowd started applauding, giving the applause to everyone.

   "It's time for work, let's have lunch at noon tomorrow. Everyone has cleaned up everything on the last night of hard work, hard work!"

  Following Liu Guonan's words, the crew began to get busy, while Xu Xin walked out of the hall first, intending to smoke a cigarette.

  The more than one month of shooting has a very special meaning to him.

  Not only did I follow Director Zhang, but I learned a lot of knowledge through words and deeds during this month, and I also gained love, and a goal that is far enough for my career.

  He benefited a lot.

  Although it is not the end now... But there are not many scenes in Tianguanyi. The most conservative estimate is that it will be over in a week or so at most.

  So he really wants to smoke a cigarette now.

  Yang Mi didn't come tonight. Her relatives were not stable this month, so they delayed for five or six days.

   Today is the day, very uncomfortable.

  So I can’t share this joy for the time being.

  The other actors began to remove their makeup one after another, and the extras began to return their clothes.

  He was standing in the corner of the palace smoking.

  In this sultry night, looking at the darkness in the distance, my eyes are a little empty.

  At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice:

   "Director Xu."

   Turning his head to look, he found that it was Zhao Liying and Zhang Jiao.

   "Oh, it's you guys."

  Xu Xin nodded with a smile.

  During this month, the two of them worked **** the set as interleaved substitutes. They were the first to come and the last to leave... Although others don't care much about the fruits of their hard work, Xu Xin can at least see it.

  So including his previous prejudice against this girl nicknamed "Baozi".

   It can only be said that this girl's EQ is a bit low...

   Others are quite interesting.

  Compared with her, Zhang Jiao is much more mature, but a little more introverted.

  The two are quite complementary, so they are always inseparable.

  After hearing Xu Xin's words, the two looked at each other, and suddenly bowed together:

   "Director Xu, thank you for taking care of us both this month! Your kindness is unforgettable!"

   "..."

  Xu Xin's mouth twitched...

  The previous words are quite touching.

   But what follows...

  He couldn't laugh or cry:

   "Baozi, you insisted on adding the latter words, right?"

   "..."

  Zhao Liying's expression changed...and Zhang Jiao stabbed her friend with her elbow:

   "I told you, don't add this..."

   "...haha~"

  Xu Xin smiled happily, and waved his hand:

   "All right, all right."

  Looking at the two girls standing upright, he thought for a while and asked:

   "Next step, what are you two going to do?"

   As soon as he said this, he saw Zhao Liying's eyes light up.

  So I waved my hand without thinking:

   "Don't get your mind on us, it's over after we finish filming in Wulong."

   "..."

   That glimmer of light turned into embarrassment and loss again.

   Zhang Jiao suddenly asked:

   "Director Xu...Do you have any suggestions?...An advice you can give us..."

"Well…"

  As soon as these words came out, Xu Xin also froze for a moment.

   Then fell into deep thought.

   After taking two or three puffs of cigarettes in a row, he looked at Zhang Jiao, whose eyes were full of anticipation:

   "You need to study."

"Well…"

  Zhang Jiao was taken aback.

   But Xu Xin shook his head again:

   "No, exactly, you need both. You're a fashion designer, right?"

"Um."

"In the final analysis, it is the wrong major. Therefore, if your conditions permit, I suggest you apply for the exam...Whether it is our Beijing Film Academy or the Central Academy of Drama, I think what you need is to study further. Your facial features are actually quite distinctive... "

   As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes, looked at the girl's face carefully, and nodded:

"Well, you have a heroic spirit in you. The heroic spirit of men and women is indistinguishable, so...in terms of appearance, your acting style is suitable for strong women, or the kind of roles that women do not give way to men. And these roles are actually very good. It needs the support of acting skills. But at present your foundation... is very poor, you should understand it yourself, right?"

"…Um."

  Zhang Jiao nodded vigorously.

  Because what Director Xu said was right.

   "So, if you can, I suggest you take an actor course. If you want to continue to hang around in this circle."

   "...Okay, Director Xu."

   Zhang Jiao responded and began to think about her future.

   And Zhao Liying raised her hand impatiently:

   "What about me, director, what about me?"

   "You... Baozi."

  Xu Xin suddenly asked:

   "Can you go back to school too? Because... I just learned from Li Cai that you asked the crew to pay a thousand dollars two days ago."

   "..."

  Zhao Liying froze...

   "I heard you were crying, right? Crying... because of what?"

   "..."

  Because the money for the replacement was uniformly given by the crew, the two of them are actually not yet settled.

   Two hundred a day.

  Give money tomorrow.

   And when Zhao Liying paid the money in advance, Li Cai came over and asked him if he wanted to pay.

  After all... In Li Cai's eyes, Zhao Liying is Director Xu's "person".

   Then Xu Xin saw the girl wiping tears in the distance, while Zhang Jiao was still comforting.

  He didn't ask, he just thought that he had paid a thousand yuan.

   But Li Cai said no, just talk to the accountant.

  He came here to ask Xu Xin about his attitude.

   It's such a matter, it's not worth writing about, or going to show off to Zhao Liying that I helped you.

   Not necessary.

  At least Xu Xin didn't think it was necessary.

   Upon hearing this, Zhao Liying's voice was much lower:

   "Daddy needs medicine...so..."

   "Well, I see."

  Xu Xin nodded, not letting her continue:

   "In other words, your conditions are actually relatively tight, right?"

"…Um."

   "But in the same way, I remember you said that you didn't finish your technical secondary school, so you came out, right?"

   After a month of contact, I can learn a lot about the two girls from the chat.

  The conditions of Zhang Jiao’s family are not bad, which is more than a salary, otherwise they would not be able to study in Heguo. And the girl Zhao Liying has a solid figure at first glance, and she only found out after asking, she majored in flight attendants in technical secondary schools.

  When she heard Xu Xin's words, she nodded:

"right."

"So, if I say that you go to study like Zhang Jiao, it's actually not suitable for you. But... after we leave, you should not be short of work. Right? At least there is light for this level Identity is supported here."

"Uh-huh."

   "But the problem is... the only thing that mere acting can bring you is that the group performers are not short of work, that's all. You don't have a company, and your professional acting skills are not good enough... so your competitiveness is still very small."

"Then what should I do?"

  Hearing Xu Xin's words, she asked anxiously.

  Because what Director Xu said was true.

   At most, this level of identity will not let her starve to death, but she wants to be popular... Let alone Director Xu, she knows that it is very limited.

"Well…"

  Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

   "You can try to take the selection route."

   "...selection?"

"right."

  Xu Xin nodded:

"I heard from Yang Mi that many of those agency companies are doing some kind of selection, recruiting a group of actors to train, or some kind of draft. You can try it... First, your appearance is not bad. It’s quite beautiful, but the selection of the draft basically depends on the face. Adding your superficial acting experience, it should be enough to deal with it. And as long as you get such a chance, then at least in some aspects, you can get Some training, whether it’s acting skills or other aspects... This is enough to make up for the "out of stock" dilemma in your hands at this stage, do you understand what I mean?"

   "Then... is there any money to be made?"

  She asked a question that concerned her most.

  Xu Xin shook his head:

"Then you have to ask someone else, and I don't know the details. But in short, like you, I think this road is a shortcut...but the same, like Zhang Jiao, what you both lack is professionalism ...Or, to put it bluntly, it is a reserve of knowledge. So... If you get some opportunities, maybe at this stage, you can rely on your face to survive, but in the future you want to walk steadily... You must remember to study, understand what I mean ?”

  He spoke earnestly:

"Because this is what my teacher said to me, and it was also what Director Zhang told me... Learning does not mean how much knowledge you can master, or what grades you get in exams. It is to enrich yourself. You have to understand, you You must know it, and being an actor is a profession that needs to express what is in your heart. Therefore, you must pay special attention to the accumulation and mastery of knowledge... This is closely related to your career.

  Whether we will meet again in the future, I don't know. But what I hope is that when we meet again, you are still engaged in the industry of actors, and whether it is the "goods" in your heart or your external speech, behavior, and quality cultivation, there will be a earth-shaking change...I I also said this sentence to Yang Mi, and this sentence was taught to me by Zhang Dao. Zhang Dao told me: Whether our business will be popular or not depends on fate. But before fate comes, at least you must have the strength to bear it. Do you understand what this means? "

   "..."

   "..."

   The two were silent, thinking.

   Waiting until the cigarette in Xu Xin's hand was finished, the two looked at each other, and suddenly bowed neatly again:

   "Thank you, Director Xu!"

  This time, there are no big graces or unforgettable words.

  But Xu Xin felt very comfortable listening.

   smiled and responded:

   "Come on, I hope that one day in the future, the two of you will be very popular... I also wish you both smooth sailing in the future, the roads are similar, and the future can be expected."

  He said it sincerely.

  Because he was blessing the two girls.

   As for whether it will become a prophecy...

   Who knows.

  I hope.

   Thanks brothers for the monthly pass. Thanks!
