I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 146 144. A Disaster

  For premieres or film critics, they are more or less privileged.

The film will be released in the early morning of the 14th, but the reason why the premiere ceremony is held in the studio of Yanjing Film Factory is that many people can’t make it to 12 o’clock. In addition, they are all "insiders", so they will be in advance. Some.

The premiere ceremony started at 8 o'clock, and it was lively and lively for more than one to two hours. After the premiere ceremony, the film was "screened in advance" so that some invited film critics could go back earlier than the audience and write the next article Enough film reviews to gain attention.

  So, today these people can see the first appearance of "Golden Armor" in a real sense.

   But before that, they still have to experience a noisy premiere.

  Yes, Yang Mi's concept of this premiere is noisy.

  There are more hosts than guests... just ask if you have seen it.

  Who are the actors and directors here today?

  Zhang Yimou, Zhou Jielun, Yang Mi, Ni Dahong, Chen Jin, Liu Ye, Qin Junjie.

  A total of 7 people were gathered.

   But the master has nine.

  Guo Degang, He Jiong, and Wu Zhongxian are fine, but Phoenix Satellite TV, Movie Channel, and several other hosts are also included.

  Shen Xing from Phoenix Satellite TV, Jingwei from Movie Channel, Aya from Wanwan, Zeng Baoyi, Tao Jingying, and Cai Kangyong, who is also a famous talker like Wu Zhongxian.

  Nine hosts, seven actors...

   Just think about it, this is so noisy.

  Guo Degang is particularly popular this year, but the problem is that he is talking about cross talk.

  When he came on stage to host, you didn't feel that he was hosting at all, and all kinds of jokes were also used for cross talk, as if this place had become a Tianqiao theater.

  He Jiong is a very flexible and changeable formal entertainment hosting style.

   And Wu Zhongxian and Cai Kangyong obviously have the taste of the Bara spirit of the Wanwan host...

  Although these people can be invited, plus the well-known domestic producers, film critics, and various big names in the entertainment industry who are sitting below today, including Li Lianjie, the lineup is not luxurious.

  As one of the actors on stage, Yang Mi felt very confused.

  The instigator was actually Guo Degang.

   Never mind what others think, at least, she thinks so.

  She likes Guo Degang very much, there is no doubt about it. After all... the art of cross talk, as a native Yanjing girl who grew up listening to masters such as Ma Sanli, Hou Baolin, and Ma Ji, must love the revival of this art from the bottom of her heart of.

  So, she took her boyfriend to listen to the Deyun Club, even if it was just a misunderstanding, but now she also regards Shaobing as her own cousin.

  As long as you go, you must take your child to have a good meal.

  As for Aiwujiwuxia, logically speaking, her liking for Guo Degang must be far more than ordinary people.

   The same is true.

  In her heart, Teacher Guo really didn’t say anything on the level of cross talk.

  Those cross talks were so much fun, he was a genius!

  But just as strong as Newton, he once put the watch in the pot to cook. People are not perfect, cross talk has given Guo Degang so many things, it is bound to take something away...

   For example, his hosting skills.

  From Yanjing TV's "Starry Night Story Club", Yang Mi felt that his hosting was pretty bad.

  Let’s talk about cross talk...not cross talk.

   Let’s talk about the host...but it’s still a cross talk.

  She felt that the hosting level of the other party was far lower than that of everyone present today... However, for some reason, the organizer chose him as the host.

   This is pretty outrageous.

  He Jiong, Wu Zhongxian, and Cai Kangyong are not used, let Guo Degang be the main coffee...

Even because of the biscuits, Yang Mi feels very kind to Guo Degang... But she still thinks in her heart that when she was filming "Golden Armor" in Hengdian, she curled up on the bed with her boyfriend who had just established a relationship, watching Yanjing on TV. When the first episode of Satellite TV's "Starry Night Story" was broadcast, the evaluation given by her boyfriend:

   "Can we stop watching?"

   "Why don't you watch it?"

   "Because I think he's hosting poorly. He's obviously talking about cross talk, but he's hosting. I'm so uncomfortable listening to it..."

   With this comment, Yang Mi still felt that her boyfriend was exaggerating.

  But now that I think about it, it's true.

   In response to the old saying in cross talk, it is really not profitable to interlace.

   It's embarrassing, don't want it.

Why do you say that? Because Guo Degang's hosting style has a very strong cross talk style.

   And what is the style of cross talk?

  Leaving aside this generalized proposition for the time being, there is a very important basic skill in cross talk, called "words cannot be put on the ground".

  It means that when others say something, you have to follow.

   You can’t hear someone else’s speech.

   And Guo Degang's style is this style.

  At this moment, Liu Ye, she, and Qin Junjie have already appeared on the stage.

As for the originally scheduled session, Wu Zhongxian, Aya, and Tao Jingying came to interview. After each person asked a question, the audience who came to the premiere today asked a question, answered it, and stepped down. Then the three hosts changed. And the cutscenes in the middle are handed over to Guo Degang and Jingwei.

To know…

   This is a live broadcast from Phoenix Satellite TV.

   It's not a recording.

  All links must be seamless, and the audience cannot see how these people withdraw from the live broadcast, and how other hosts come out of the backstage, right?

   That won't work.

   But the problem is, in this kind of live broadcast session where the outside is loose and the inside is tight, everyone only needs to do their own thing well.

  Hey, it just doesn’t work.

   I don’t know whether Guo Degang was really dazzled by the so-called "who is the number one talker" hyped up by the media, or if he was just a joke.

  Originally, Jingwei and Jingwei had a good partner and waited for the continuation, and the work was over.

But... when Yang Mi, Liu Ye, and Qin Junjie came to the stage, after the host introduced, when it was time to sit down, Wu Zhongxian continued his own style of gag to host, but Guo Degang could always hear "Well, Um, yes, oh?" This kind of um, ah, this is the answering voice.

   To say...it’s really nothing, Wu Zhongxian’s hosting style is here, the more lively, the more he can handle it. Guo Degang's answering of the words also ensured that the atmosphere would not be cold, which complemented each other quite well.

   It was pretty good at first, but when it was the turn of the audience to ask questions, something went wrong.

  First of all, the audience didn't know whether it was because they were stunned, or because they didn't prepare enough materials, or because they were nervous.

  Wait until Wu Zhongxian said that the audience could ask questions, and when he was the first to stand up, the question was as follows:

   "I would like to ask the three newcomers, do they perform the fighting scenes in the film by themselves or use substitutes?"

   The question is simple, right?

   is very simple.

   But the problem is... he used the phrase "three newcomers".

  Yang Mi is a newcomer, okay.

  Qin Junjie is a newcomer, so it's okay.

  But the problem is...

   Liu Ye is what a movie king!

  As soon as these words came out, Yang Mi instinctively turned her head to look at Liu Ye.

   Liu Ye himself was stunned.

   But here comes something even weirder.

  Because according to the script, after this question was asked, Wu Zhongxian should summarize the question, and then choose one of the three guests to answer.

   As for Guo Degang, he answered first:

   "Okay, that's a very good question."

  It's nothing, just take the call, catch it, and just give it to Wu Zhongxian.

   And Wu Zhongxian's voice did sound:

   "Oh? Is there a stand-in to fight for you?"

  He was about to turn around and remind Liu Ye to answer this question...

   While Liu Ye was wondering why he had become a "newcomer", Guo Degang suddenly said:

   "No answer!"

  You can say that he is just making jokes, or making jokes.

  As soon as these words came out, it was very abrupt.

  Wu Zhongxian, who had just turned around, turned his head in surprise again:

"Um?"

  Aya and Tao Jingying were also a little unresponsive.

   Then I heard another sentence from Guo Degang:

   "It's a matter of confidentiality, the next one."

  No, brother...Although I know you are joking.

   But the premiere will answer these questions.

  You do not answer, do not give the audience a response?

   This is a live broadcast!

   Then, Wu Zhongxian instinctively stopped:

   "Hey hey..."

  As soon as he opened his mouth, Guo Degang said again:

   "How do you ask people to answer this question!"

   As soon as the words came out, the meaning was a little bit wrong.

  What do you mean?

  Are you implying that we all use stand-ins?

  Are you making trouble...

  Yang Mi was speechless in an instant.

  During the filming of Huang Jinjia, she did all the scenes by herself, including being **** by several men in black, and the scene where she was trying to tear her apart.

  The requirement for the shot was that she was tied hands and feet and pulled up by the men in black.

  Although there is also a wire hanging on the waist, but for the sake of plot tension, the hands and feet are bleeding when the show is played.

  My efforts are just ignored by you with a joke?

  Are you making trouble?

  But Wu Zhongxian is an old host after all, and his skills are still there. Seeing that these words are about to lead the three people to "disaster", he quickly waved his hands:

   "Hey, Guo Degang, I think this question is very good, please ask someone to answer it."

   But when the words fell, Guo Degang suddenly walked towards the middle of the stage holding the microphone:

   "Why do you think this topic is very good?"

  As he walked, he asked.

  He went down, let alone Wu Zhongxian, Jingwei, Tao Jingying, and Aya were also stunned.

   "Hey, don't look for opportunities to come down."

   Wu Zhongxian hurriedly stopped him, hoping he would go back.

  This is a live broadcast, brother, what are you doing?

  The director probably has a green face backstage right now?

   When Guo Degang heard this, he said:

   "Didn't you call me?"

   After finishing speaking, he turned his head and hooked Jingwei who was also stunned:

   "Come on, come down."

"Well…"

  Jingwei glanced at the camera instinctively, but at this moment the lighting engineer had already turned off the light, and she had to hurry up to follow, and at the same time added a sentence:

   "This link has been designed for a long time."

   And the hosts could only add to their mistakes at this time, and greeted them together.

  The five hosts gathered in the middle of the stage, and the actors were left alone.

   "Hey, don't come down."

  Wu Zhongxian also tried to get Guo Degang to go back.

"No."

  As soon as Guo De finished speaking, Wu Zhongxian greeted him:

   "Everyone has made an agreement, you are not allowed to come down."

   "I'm afraid they won't see me..."

   As he spoke, Guo Degang directly faced the audience:

   "Whoever wants me to come down, everyone give me some applause."

  What can I do?

  Applause.

  Sparse applause rang out.

  Wu Zhongxian took advantage of this time, took away the microphone, and muttered in a low voice:

   "Live, Degang, live!"

  Guo Degang was taken aback...

   After the applause fell, Wu Zhongxian picked up the microphone again:

   "Hey, it's like this, Degang..."

  He took a look at Jingwei, who was about to walk Baba to Guo Degang, his face was a little unnatural, and continued:

   "I mean, I should answer this question for everyone. Although this scene has been filmed, we should let everyone know the difference between the front and back scenes."

   "Oh~~~"

  Guo Degang "suddenly realized", nodded:

   "Okay, then I won't refute you because of this face."

   No matter how you hear this, something is wrong.

   But it's a live broadcast right now, so if it's wrong, it can only come by mistake.

   And Wu Zhongxian was benevolent enough to help Guo Degang find it, and the microphone was given to Liu Ye:

   "Come on, Liu Ye."

   means you answer this question.

   Liu Ye was actually quite confused, but now he asked politely:

   "Do I need to stand up?"

   "No no no..."

  Just as Wu Zhongxian was about to speak, Guo Degang said, "Bang!"

   "You stand taller than all three of them."

  You said that right now you just let the guests answer the questions.

  What are you always grabbing?

  Jingwei's face was completely green.

   But facing the camera, she did not dare to remind Guo Degang directly.

   I'm afraid that this person will do something out of the ordinary once his brain is twitched.

   Wu Zhongxian can only continue to wipe Guo Degang's ass:

   "1.86 meters, how annoying~~~"

   While speaking, he patted Liu Ye on the shoulder to express his apology.

   Liu Ye also smiled awkwardly.

  But Wu Zhongxian is not always in a bad mood. Guo Degang said he was short, and after patting Liu Ye on the shoulder, he pointed at Guo Degang again:

   "Ask Guo Degang."

   means "ask the shortest Guo Degang if you want to stand up".

  According to the principle, you two hurt me, and I hurt you, and it's over.

  But Guo Degang is not at a disadvantage.

  When did his mouth suffer?

   Isn’t the most often said sentence on the cross talk stage is “On cursing the street, the cross talk must be the ancestor”?

   Then gave another sentence:

   "No, in fact, there are only three. Aren't there seven in total tonight? Those are at Snow White's place."

   As soon as the words came out...

  Jingwei, Tao Jingying, and Aya all looked dumbfounded.

  Who are the seven talking about?

   Still need to ask?

  These three, plus Zhang Yimou, Ni Dahong, Chen Jin, and Jay Chou in a wheelchair in the background...

   Isn't that exactly seven?

  It’s fine if you say others...Dare you say Zhang Yimou? ? ? ?

  Brother, are you desperate?

  Are you really not afraid of offending people?

  Yang Mi, who was silently acting as a little transparent, knew... I really can't go on like this.

  Because she had already seen it, on the side where Guo Degang was originally standing, the director, assistant director, and production manager holding a big book all came out for the premiere!

  The director was so angry that he took off his earphones.

"well…"

  She sighed in her heart, and directly picked up the microphone on her lap:

   "Actually, it is like this."

  Her voice itself has a nasal sound, which is very recognizable.

  As soon as she opened her mouth, Wu Zhongxian quickly turned his head away as if he had met a savior:

   "Oh? Our Jiang Chan has something to say!"

  Yang Mi did have something to say, but when she spoke, her eyes were fixed on Guo Degang.

  She can't imitate her boyfriend's kind...just stare at others, and there will be a look of embarrassment.

  But she expects Guo Degang to talk about the minimum etiquette.

  You can pick up the conversation when the man talks.

   Lesbians are talking, please be polite.

  Let me quickly pull back this premiere, which is gradually becoming a disaster.

  Although she had expected it, there might be news about her "stealing the limelight" tomorrow.

but…

  Who told you to be Master Xiaobing?

  So, she fixed her eyes on Guo Degang's face, and said word by word:

   "First of all, I want to correct Teacher Guo and the audience just now."

  As soon as the words came out, Guo Degang was taken aback.

  He has a good impression of this girl and thinks she is very smart.

  So I chose to save face.

   But... what does it mean to correct the problem?

   Then, Yang Mi raised her hand to the auditorium:

   "It's like this. The audience gentleman asked just now, did the three of us use stand-ins in the martial arts scene, right? One thing, he defined it wrong. First of all, we are not three newcomers."

  She shook her head, and Liu Ye suddenly smiled after being stunned.

  A group of film critics including the audience all smiled and praised.

"Ms. Liu Ye was the Best Actor of the Golden Horse Awards in Wanwan Province in 2001, and the Best Actor of the Golden Rooster Awards in 2004... The audience should not be too nervous. But this also shows from the side, what everyone remembers is your role, Brother Ye, not yours. The actor itself. I think this is the biggest compliment for you, right?"

   "...ha~"

  The moment he heard this sentence, Liu Ye was delighted.

  Holding up the microphone, he nodded naturally:

   "Yes, yes, as an actor, my acting skills are recognized, but I can't be recognized in reality. As far as I am concerned, I am really happy."

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

  The other hosts were a little stunned.

   Then Yang Mi continued to say:

"As far as the drama "Golden Armor" is concerned, whether it's me and newcomers like Junjie, or Teacher Liu Ye, and Teacher Zhou Jielun, even Ni Dahong, Chen Jin, and the two teachers Zhou Renfa and Gong Li who are not present today , we are all the same. If there is no need for a substitute, we will definitely choose to play in person. Because this is not only a tribute to the movie and Director Zhang, but also to the predecessor of the script of "The Golden Armor in the City", a Chinese drama The awe of Thunderstorm, the all-time monumental masterpiece. Thank you all."

   After finishing speaking, he put down the microphone, stood up, politely covered his chest with his left hand, and bowed to the audience.

Backstage.

   "Hoo..."

   Jay Chou, who was waiting in a wheelchair, heard a long breath.

  Turn around and look...

   It was sent by the director next to him.

  Then, the director covered the headset and listened, nodded:

"clear…"

   After finishing speaking, he said to Zhang Yimou:

   "Director Zhang, you and a few others may have to go on stage early, and the stage was delayed for some time..."

"good."

  Zhang Yimou, who was expressionless the whole time, responded.

  The director looked at the hosts who were standing next to him with the same complexion, and said:

   "Please follow the script for the corresponding links."

   The tone is neither light nor heavy.

  But for the hosts He Jiong and Cai Kangyong, everyone knows that the directors dare not say such things.

  The only one who can say this is the director who just took off the headset angrily.

"well…"

  As the host of today's live broadcast platform, Shen Xing of Phoenix Satellite TV sighed.

  But He Jiong on the side kept staring at the girl who sat like a little flower after answering the question that Liu Ye should have answered.

   His eyes were full of interest.

  …

   Guo Degang and Wu Zhongxian's disastrous problem session is over.

  Liu Ye, Qin Junjie, and Yang Mi walked in front, followed by other hosts.

   As the saying goes, act on the stage and be a man off the stage.

  The people who were joking around on the stage just now, now that they are off the stage... their expressions are a little strange.

   But something was wrong, but no one said anything.

  The others all looked silent.

  I'm not related to you, so why should I guide your future?

   There are pits, watch you jump.

  There is a river, watching you drown.

  Who told you to start first?

  You rob other people's jobs, no matter what the motive is, you are breaking the rules.

  And the consequence of bad rules is...whether it is Phoenix Satellite TV or today's insiders, whoever wants to cooperate with Guo Degang in the future may have to weigh it carefully.

  Is it ironic?

   Pretty ironic.

  The people who came here today are all here to praise Director Zhang's movie.

  But Guo Degang, who could have shown himself originally, but because he didn’t like to suffer from his mouth, he abruptly closed the door that was likely to enter the film and television industry...

  Who doesn't think it's outrageous whoever releases it?

  But unfortunately, no one told him.

  Whether it's the Wanwan host or anyone else, even the director, they just said calmly:

   "Ms. Guo, the director hopes that you can follow the script for a while, and you can pass some of the words to other hosts appropriately, so don't rush."

   Just fold it.

  Yang Mi didn't say anything either.

   It's not that she can't speak, but that she is soft-spoken. Why should she preach to someone older than herself? Whether it sounds good or not is one thing, and whether people will listen to it is another.

   When the time comes, don’t hold grudges against you anymore, so why bother?

  So, she just stayed with Zeng Jia honestly, watched the actors leave the stage, contributed a vocal performance group of a cappella, and Shen Teng next to him performed there. And he took the time to look at Wu Zhongxian, who was off the stage, who basically didn't communicate with Jay Chou... thinking about what happened to these two people in his mind.

   "Gift~"

   Shen Teng, who seemed to have become the head of the housekeeper, gave an order, and this group of Yang Mi's acapella group, which came out of nowhere, began to sing.

   Looking at Shen Teng's back, Yang Mi said to Zeng Jia who had been standing with Shen Teng just now:

   "Sister Zeng, the company wants to sign him? Or are you..."

"without."

   Zeng Jia shook her head.

"Cao Lei was the first person I worked hard for, so I have a deep impression of him and Shen Teng. Because Shen Teng was the only person who spoke to me when I was working for Cao Lei. I asked him just now, and he Now I have opened a small drama club called Happy Twist... just caring for each other."

   "Small drama club?... Drama club?"

"Um."

   "Is that so..."

  The girl nodded:

   "Then let's sell a few favors, and it will be easier to talk to in the future. He seems to be very assertive. If you invite him to the company, with the company's style, he will definitely not accept it. But as a friend, it should be pretty good."

"…Um."

   Zeng Jia deeply agrees with Yang Mi's words.

   This girl does have a cleverness that ordinary people don't have in her life.

  For example, to Shen Teng, or just now on stage.

  So, Zeng Jia also believed in the girl's judgment.

  Then, the performance on the stage was over, and He Jiong and others started to play.

  Yang Mi said:

   "Then I'll go back and wait, it's still a bit cold here."

   "Well, let's go."

  Yang Mi returned to the waiting room, put on a down jacket, and started chatting with Xu Xin, about what happened on stage just now.

  Xu Xin is also off work here, but he didn't watch any live broadcast of Phoenix Satellite TV. Instead, he kept his head in the study and continued drawing and sub-camera one by one, making preparations for "The Unspeakable Secret".

  He has no interest in what his girlfriend said about Guo Degang.

   What he pursues is to keep a distance between artists and audiences.

  Although he likes Guo Degang's cross talk very much, he is not interested in gossip about who the other party is in private.

  Just perform on stage.

  What does it matter to him to be a man off stage?

   Just like that, a premiere meeting is finally over.

  Punctually at 10 o'clock, "Curse of the Golden Flower" will be released.

   Then, two hours later, in Yanjing and even major theaters across the country, fans who came to watch the movie, whether it was because of Jay Chou, Zhang Yimou or others, all showed astonished eyes.

  Looking at the rushing drumbeat, the big waves that filled the screen...

   Completely numb...

  This... what the **** is this?

  Gong Li is also good... This girl named Yang Mi is fine.

Wave…

   Is it that big! ? ? ? ?

  …

   "Large-scale chorus martial arts group gymnastics stage play Ancient Thunderstorm - Zhang Yimou's new movie is hard to describe"

   "Why is the unprecedented domestic film production so vulgar? "

   "Golden Armor? "thunderstorm"? No, that's definitely not the case with "Thunderstorm"

   "Jay Chou's acting skills are remarkable, "Golden Armor" broke domestic records on the first day of box office"

  "Movies Are Not Selling Meat, Masterworks Shouldn't Be Interpreted in This Way—On "The Golden Flowers in the City"

  "Mou Girl Yang Mi's performance is eye-catching, and the collision between old and new girls is full of highlights! "

  After the end of December 14th, when Yang Mi had already moved to Taipei to practice her lines, the nationwide release of "Golden Flowers in the City" broke the Chinese-language box office record for the first day and first week of a domestic film.

   But its evaluation has been on the cusp of good and bad.

   It is true that Dabo was very enjoyable to watch.

   But after watching it, it still doesn't prevent others from scolding "bad movie".

  And most of the criticisms of bad movies refer to the bold and avant-garde clothes in the play.

   It is not too much to say that the **** are exposed.

   The contradictions are mainly concentrated here, and countless film critics or people in the cultural circles are criticizing.

   And the audience is also criticizing bad movies.

  The box office is still very high...

   seems very weird and weird.

   Xu Xin also went to see it. On the 15th, he contributed two movie tickets.

   And when he saw the scene between Gong Li and Jay Chou, who was dressed in a light veil, he subconsciously clenched his fists in the dark auditorium.

  In the screen, Gong Li, who was dressed in white gauze, faded away, replaced by the endless tenderness that belonged to her "mother".

  At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice:

   "Wow, Gong Li is so beautiful."

  I don't know who said it.

  But his face suddenly felt a little hot.

   Can't tell whether it's excitement or shame.

only…

  His heart was beating extremely fast.

  My movie... No, the movie I shot, the first time it appeared in a movie theater, was in a movie that was released around the world...

  When I think about it...

   "Hiss~~~"

  A trembling from the soul made him ignore all the plots of the next movie.

  Whether reasonable or unreasonable.

   are no longer in his eyes.

  He just sat on the chair, looking straight at the screen...

  But my thoughts have already drifted to nowhere.

but…

  He became more and more sure of one thing.

  He loves making movies...

  I love the feeling of being stared at, stared at, and judged by everyone in the pictures I took.

   Can't extricate myself!

   As for whether "Golden Armor" is bad or not...

  He doesn't feel much anymore.

Is it important?

   Not important.

  …

  Girlfriend left.

   "Golden Armor" broke through 100 million at the box office.

   It was also screened globally overseas.

   But overseas box office performance is somewhat unsatisfactory.

   Over $6 million in the first week...

  But Xu Xin didn't know what director Zhang had in mind, because director Zhang went abroad on the fifth day after attending the domestic premiere, in time for the North American release date.

  First North America, then Europe.

  As the golden armor of Christmas "New Year's films", it is obvious that the publicity task is equally heavy at home and abroad. And after the promotion of the movie is over, he will go directly to the metropolis to rehearse the opera "Qin Shihuang".

Similarly, before leaving, after two consecutive meetings, it was confirmed in all aspects that the contents of the opening ceremony plan centered on the four major inventions included 27 small items, all of which were "perfect". The proposal was also formally submitted to the organizing committee.

  Everyone has been busy for more than half a year. At the moment when the results of the work were submitted, all the tension and anxiety were vented.

   Everyone who breathed a sigh of relief got drunk in a restaurant that night.

   Then, Xu Xin also boarded the plane to Wanwan Province on the night when Christmas was approaching.

   As usual, ask for a monthly pass for 14,000 yuan! ! Lao Guo's premiere is really beyond words...
