I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 234 232. Thank you for your hard work, goodbye

   "Brother Xu...hehehe."

   "Wow woof woof woof..."

   "..."

  In the afternoon, Director Zhang suddenly called me to attend an ideological education class at the conference center. As a result, I met Sha Xiaofeng right after the class was over. Seeing that Xiao Xu was actually there, the big brother bought Xu Xin with a bag of Yuxi, and asked him to run to Daxing to send the latest rehearsal process plan of the director team... Finally came to Daxing to learn about Deyun on Tuesday After the company was on break, Xu Xin came to find the biscuits after Daxing.

  He actually thinks he is quite busy.

   Really busy.

   To prepare movies, to intrigue with people, to be busy with the Paralympic Games, to run errands...

   There is nothing to worry about.

   It’s fine if you don’t worry, but life still has to add obstacles to yourself.

   Like this little fat man in front of me... no, big fat man.

  Xu Xin felt that his heart was "cooling down".

   And perhaps because of Xu Xin's staring eyes, Shaobing wanted to shrink back into the big iron gate.

   But dare not...

  Mainly because I was afraid that Brother Xu would drag me to run in this hot weather.

  That would be too much to suffer.

   "Wow woof woof woof..."

  Amidst a group of dogs barking, Shaobing, who was already guilty, was upset by these dogs barking, and yelled into the yard:

   "Go! Shut up! Call again!"

  The dogs in the yard stopped immediately.

  Xu Xin looked around helplessly and asked:

   "Pie, how much do you weigh now?"

   "..."

   Shaobing's face immediately turned pale...

   "One...one hundred and seventeen."

  When Xu Xin heard it, his nose was so hung that he was so angry that he was crooked.

   Staring at him with a fake smile:

   "Say it well, come on, how much?"

   "One...one hundred and nineteen."

   "One hundred and nine, right? Good."

  Xu Xin laughed, looked at the fat boy who was almost blind, and said:

   "Let's go, isn't there a vegetable market next door? Let's find a scale. If it exceeds a catty, run an extra 100 meters, okay?"

   Then Shaobing wanted to cry.

  Finally, I honestly gave an answer:

   "Two hundred and two..."

  Xu Xin's mentality completely collapsed.

  Recall the year.

  Although this kid is not around, he is not fat enough to be so virtuous.

  Why has it been like this for the past two years?

   What did you eat?

   Fertilizer?

   One is worth two people.

   Completely speechless, he glanced at the yard and asked:

   "Is your master not here?"

   "No... Master went to filming."

   "...???"

  Xu Xin was stunned:

   "Filming?"

   "Yes, I don't know what the show is, anyway, I'm filming."

"What about the rest?"

   "It's all over, let's rest today."

   "Why don't you go?"

   "I have to feed Master the dog. This... I just came back, and I was going to leave after feeding, and Brother Xu called."

   Shaobing's heart was beating wildly.

   I was really afraid that Brother Xu would drag me to lose weight.

  Ever since the rehearsal for the Olympic Games came here, he followed Brother Xu for a 5-kilometer run, and the nightmare never left him.

   While talking, suddenly, Xu Xin listened to the sound of the car horn behind:

   "Didi."

   Shaobing looked over with him.

  I saw an identical Audi parked behind Xu Xin's own car.

  The car door opened, and a curly-haired Yu Ke got out of the car.

  He was still vigilant when he came down, looked at Xu Xin and asked:

"you are?"

  Not many people know the news that De Gang lives here, and generally there are no strangers.

  Seeing how the biscuits crowded to the door and seemed to prevent this person from entering, he felt that this person looked like a reporter.

Hey.

  This group of people are grandchildren.

  At this moment, Shaobing spoke:

   "Master, this is my Brother Xu..."

"…ah?"

  Yu Chen was taken aback for a moment.

   It is no secret that Shaobing knows the star actor Yang Mi.

Everyone in the Deyun Club also knows that it is said that it was the "Stool Seeing Sorrow" biscuit, which was known as the first of the three evils in Tianqiao back then. One time, it snatched the stool under Yang Mi's buttocks who came to listen to cross talk, and was approached by a girl. …

  At first, Shaobing said she was her cousin, but later she couldn’t hide it, so she told the truth.

  So everyone knows about it.

  But...it's a pity.

  After Yang Mi became popular, she hardly came to listen to cross talk.

  But the friendship with Shaobing has not changed. Every now and then, they are taken out to eat delicious food. He even became the chief culprit in the plan to "separate" the master and apprentice to lose weight...

  Everyone in Deyun Society knows that sesame seed cakes have this relationship.

  Especially after Yang Mi became popular, everyone is even more envious...

   But "Xu Xin" is basically never seen by everyone.

  Just listening to the biscuits yelling "Brother Xu" and "Brother Xu" one by one.

   It is said that he once went for a run with that director Xu Xin, but the next day, the kid didn’t say anything, and begged to get on the plane for a commercial performance with the master...

  The young man in front of me is the director Xu Xin?

  Yu Chen was a little dazed.

   But Xu Xin's reaction was not slow, and he reached out his hand:

   "Mr. Yu, hello."

   "Ah?...Eh, hello, Director Xu, hello, hello."

   "Don't, don't, I really like listening to your cross talk..."

   "You are very supportive."

  Yu Chen gave a polite voice, then walked to the side of the two of them, and asked:

   "Director Xu, this is..."

   "You can call me Xu Xin, but I can't afford the name director."

  Xu Xin was modest first, and then said:

   "I just came to see... See how fat Shaobing has become now. Then I plan to drag him to lose weight..."

   "..."

   Shaobing's complexion suddenly became extremely "ugly".

   It's like hearing shit.

  Yu Yu was happy instead:

   "Hahahaha, that's good... that's great. This kid has been eating nonsense for several months. I heard that he dragged others to eat instant noodles last night?"

   "!"

  Xu Xin's eyes suddenly became unkind.

  At this moment, a gust of wind blows over...

  Yu Chen moved his nose...

   "Who eats barbecue in broad daylight? It smells like cumin."

   Shaobing suddenly turned pale again.

   But immediately something more desperate appeared:

   "Director Xu..."

   "Teacher Yu, you can call me Xu Xin."

   "It's... okay, Shaobing, the guests are here, why don't you hurry up and let him stand at the door?"

  Yu Chen said to go into the house.

In fact, he came to pick up the biscuits back to the city. Degang was filming "Integrity and Clean Housework", so he can't come back here tonight. After feeding the dogs with the biscuits, he will go to live in the city, so as not to delay tomorrow performance. Otherwise no one will come to pick him up.

  I just came back from Lixian's side, so I ran for a while, so I didn't have to let my child take the bus.

   But that would make him change his mind.

  First get close to this Director Xu.

   It’s not that I’m snobbish, but I want to fight for the biscuits.

   Shaobing, kid...

  Cross talk Tianque has one class.

  The child didn’t pay attention when his throat fell, and it broke.

   It’s not okay to be dumb.

  Can't sing.

  Destined, cross talk achievements in this life are limited.

   But what if you can make a movie?

   Isn’t it also a way?

   This kid doesn't understand these twists and turns, so the uncle shouldn't worry about it.

  Yu Yu wants to open the door...

  The biscuits didn't let go.

  Yu Chen was taken aback for a moment...

  Looking at the biscuit that was holding on to the big iron gate, and was about to burst into tears, he asked in bewilderment:

   "What are you doing? Get up and drive. Your brother Xu is here, and you won't let him in?"

   "No...I...I'm not...Then...This..."

   "What about this and that?"

  Looking at the speechless biscuits, Yu Xing exerted himself...

  The door was pushed open.

   Then, when they saw the oven under the eaves emitting green smoke, both Xu Xin and Yu Chen were taken aback...

  There is a steamed bun that has started to burn black on the oven, and there is this one on top of the fire... It looks like pork belly from the market, worn by several bamboo sticks, and sprinkled with various seasonings...

   "..."

   "..."

   Good guy.

   After making it for a long time, did the cumin smell come from home?

   And Shaobing looked at Xu Xin's speechless eyes, frowning and trying to explain:

   "Brother Xu...I said I planned to bake it and feed it to the dog, would you believe me?"

"letter."

  Xu Xin nodded:

   "Your dog eats cumin and chili, and has a good appetite."

   "..."

  …

  Xu Xin didn't leave, but he didn't stay either.

  Yu Chen said that he should keep him for dinner, saying that it was not easy to travel all the way.

  But...it's not outrageous to treat guests to dinner at someone's house.

  He simply said that he would bring sesame seed cakes back to the city and find a place to eat some.

   After all, it's too late.

  Xu Xin agreed, first of all, he really liked listening to the cross talk of Deyun Club. Being able to have dinner with Teacher Yu Qiang, according to Liang Bingning's words...

   Fans and idols.

  Running in both directions.

   I didn’t expect it... I originally planned to do ideological work for Shaobing, so that this child would not be so fat... After all, Guo Degang has diabetes, and it is really dangerous for him to become so fat.

  But after drinking wine in the restaurant, Xu Xin unexpectedly discovered...

  This is the teacher... It's a good temper to talk about.

  Although it is a big brother, it is not appropriate to describe it like this.

  But when I chatted with this big brother about everything in the world, especially when I found out that this guy turned out to be a senior who graduated from the director department of Beijing Film Academy in 1995...

   Ouch.

   You can meet your loved ones.

  The two unexpectedly had a common topic...and, Xu Xin could see that this teacher also had an acting dream.

   It was a very pleasant meal, but in the end there was nothing wrong with the biscuits.

  In the end, after drinking the wine, I began to drink tea from the teapot in the hotel.

   While chatting, we started talking about acting.

   "Actually, this is also a drama, Xiao Xu, do you understand?"

  Yu Chen was smoking a cigarette and holding a teacup in his hand, feeling inexplicably emotional:

"The old man said before that it doesn't look like a three-pointer. I didn't understand it before. I thought... talking about cross talk is actually a lip service... It's not that I don't respect it. It was really the idea when I was young. But I was in a hurry later. Learning to act in a hurry... suddenly discovered that this industry is actually the same as acting."

   "It's all one character."

  After Xu Xin, who was drinking the same red face, finished speaking, Yu Chen nodded:

"Yeah."

   As he spoke, he began to scratch his fingers:

"Pretending to be stupid and being dumbfounded, you have to act yourself in order for the audience to believe it. And you can't... This is not me bragging. Sometimes ours is like a drama, and the acting is more delicate. You understand? We It is through the mouth that the audience is brought into our performance, NG is absolutely not allowed, and it is not allowed to slip away and perform poorly. After a show, the audience's spiritual head must be here."

  He pointed at his clenched right hand with the finger holding the cigarette.

   means to pinch the audience in the palm of your hand.

   "Brother Qianer, do you like this feeling?"

   "Like it, who doesn't like it?"

  Yu Yu’s eyes are shining:

   "Call the wind and rain on the stage! I make you laugh, and you laugh, and I make you applaud, and you applaud. Isn't this the charm of comedy?"

"Well…"

  Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

   "But I think, in terms of performance form, cross talk is more like the presentation of the lines of the performance..."

"right."

  Yu Chen responded:

"What we rely on is our mouth. You see, it's the simplest "hmm, this is", this flattering job has to fit in. You smash, ah! Thieves, hey! You have to follow every sentence. Come from this point. In this respect, it’s not bragging, I just feel that we are better than drama actors, you know?

  Actors must be able to have emotions when speaking lines, and use performances to drive them. But we can't. We have fixed a few performance reactions, but in the middle we have to use language to mobilize the audience's emotions. To put it bluntly, if you want to talk about acting, we are not as good as others. But you... let's say, for example, reading a script, describing something, this job, when we can come, others may not be able to live. "

  Hearing this, Xu Xin nodded:

   "In other words, this is also an art... The art of language is really not an exaggeration."

   "Yes... As far as expressing through language, we are not inferior to any industry. But one person can only serve a bowl of rice. In a large performance category, language is actually the same thing..."

"Uh-huh…"

  The two chatted like this.

  Watching the teacup, chatting with two packs of cigarettes, we talked until ten o'clock, and the restaurant was closed before we came out.

  The middle includes the history of cross talk, cognition of performance, miscellaneous and varied.

   Chatting with Shaobing was so confusing.

  But both of them felt very happy.

  Finally, we made an appointment to have a drink together next time, because there are quite a few friends in the showbiz at Yu Chen’s side, such as Wu Jing who filmed "Slaying the Wolf", so next time we all get together and have a good drink...

   Finally left each other's phone numbers, and the meal ended perfectly.

  As for the biscuits...

well…

  …

  September 12th.

  The news that the West Film Studio will launch a gift film next year has spread in the circle.

   But there was no response from the outside world.

  Xi Film Studio doesn't have any first-line celebrities, and fans don't follow them either.

  So this news was only spread on a small scale.

   I only know that it is a gift film, but I don't know the specific type yet.

  But... To be honest, there was not much reaction in the circle.

The West Film Studio is no longer the original West Film Studio, and everyone knows that next year will be a new year, and they all know that next year will be the world of gift films. As an old film studio, how can it be down? Missed.

   But that's all.

  Although I heard that this time Xiying Studio formed all the award-winning "first-line" teams.

   But the question is, are these "first-lines" the first-line of the Year of the Monkey?

   A bunch of old guys.

  So, there were no storms.

  Except for some actors who want to get ahead, they have the mentality of rushing to become a dead horse as a living horse doctor, expressing their intention to contact, the rest of the people really don't move.

   And Xiying Studio seems to be in no hurry.

  Some promoter companies that are sensitive to publicity have also seen through the routines of Xiying Studio.

   It is estimated that the specific news will not be announced until early October, right?

   Find out what kind of production and what type of film it is.

   But what they didn't know was that the investment budget for "The Wind" had already been released in an internal top-secret meeting.

   Cut out the propaganda.

   In terms of shooting + production costs, the initial budget is between 30 million and 50 million.

  There is only one reason why the span is so large, which is to plan out the estimates of the salaries of other actors besides the salaries of Liang Bingning and Yang Mi.

   It is certain that Yang Mi and Liang Bingning are part-time workers this time.

   There is no need to say much about the relationship here.

  The rest of the actors, who are selected through casting, who are invited, and how much are the remuneration of each other... The factory has given a total budget. If it is based on an investment of 30 million, it will be between 10 and 15 million. It can almost be said that the remuneration accounts for 50% of the production cost.

   This ratio is quite high, and it can almost be said that it is the first of its kind in Xiying Film Studio's fund allocation.

  If you don’t mention private enterprises...

  The production cost of this movie is not too high. After all, the scene is simple, and the main story takes place in Qiuzhuang.

   Requires a large set.

  Xi Film Studio has its own team, and also has its own studio in Xi'an, which is unimpeded.

   That is to say, no matter whether it is 30 million or 50 million, the factory has given the green light to the remuneration of the actors in this drama.

   Otherwise, according to the previous 40-60 split, this movie really can't invite any big names.

  After the budget is approved, the scene selection will begin.

   All the interior scenes of this film were set up in the studio, and the only exterior location needed was quite simple.

  It can be done directly in Hengdian.

  As for the exterior architectural scene of Qiuzhuang, it will be shot separately and produced by CG.

  A static image doesn’t cost much.

   Next, Xu Xin was asked to provide a draft of the interior scene.

  The set designer who was in contact with him was Guo Zhengyi.

   She is not a celebrity, and she doesn't have many works. The more famous ones... Well, there are only two.

  One is called "Ju Dou" and the other is called "Raise the Red Lantern".

   Well, it’s quite ordinary.

  An ordinary middle-aged man.

  Ordinary.

  Of course, this is not what Xu Xin said, but Qi Lei.

  Xiying Studio, with a joke that even Xu Xin felt absurd, opened the door of their treasure house to this young man.

When Xu Xin and this man came to Yanjing from Xi'an, after watching him take out a set draft of "The Wind", after less than half an hour of thinking about it, he had already begun to reach the "spirit and harmony" with himself. When the highly overlapped masters of "Flesh" began to discuss the details of the set...

   People have become numb.

   Oh yes, I forgot to mention that.

   There are another person named Cao Jiuping and Ji Jianmin in the same company.

  One is art design and the other is lighting.

  Everyone was a brother who stirred horses and ladles in the same pot back then.

   Not only "Ju Dou" and "Raise the Red Lantern", Ji Jianmin was also in charge of a...not particularly famous film.

  It's called "Farewell My Concubine"...

   And Cao Jiuping, the art designer, also made a film, but it didn’t belong to Xiying Studio, but was a “private job”. He was invited by an unknown director to make a film called “Hero”…

   is just ordinary.

  Although these "ordinary people" have achieved great success outside the factory, they really picked up the Beiliang knife again after calling out in the factory... Huh? What is Beiliang Dao...

   But anyway, Xu Xin felt as if he was standing under a coconut tree and encountered a big typhoon.

  Just wondering if the teacher taught you not to stand under the coconut tree during a typhoon...

   Thoughts haven't gone astray yet, my head hurts, my eyes turn black, and I don't know anything.

  Damn, outrageous.

  …

  September 16th.

  The torch of the Paralympic Games was lit again from above the Bird's Nest. (Note 1)

   Opened the ten-day Olympic Games.

   And the successful lighting of the torch did not bring any special feelings to Xu Xin.

  The efforts of so many people...

  How could it be unsuccessful?

  …

  September 27th.

  The Paralympic Games ended successfully.

  The Tianchao Sports Delegation ranked first in the medal list with 89 gold medals, 70 silver medals, 52 bronze medals, and 211 medals.

   Another first.

   And on this day, all the directors gathered on the broadcasting platform to witness the extinguishing of the Olympic flame again.

  The whole audience cheered.

  But only the people on the director's platform.

   Silent, speechless.

  Everyone slumped on their chairs after being notified that the live broadcast signal had been shut down.

  Including Xu Xin is the same.

  Over 2 years...

   When the last flames dimmed, they had given up everything they had, and they had consumed everything.

  Originally, Wei Lanfang and the others had already discussed it. When the Olympics is over, everyone must have a good meal, drink and celebrate.

   But at the end of the night, in the small cafeteria of the Olympic athletes' base, everyone seemed a little "dull" in the face of these condolences.

  Everyone is tired.

   Really, so tired.

  The same is true for Zhang Yimou.

   Even while drinking, he began to yawn.

  Everyone lost their energy, and the meal changed from a carnival to a warm gathering.

   But this is not the end.

  While the people in the creative team of the Olympic Games were "lying flat" in the cafeteria, the big leaders had already sent good news.

  September 30th.

  State Banquet Hall.

  Celebrate the Olympics!

  When Xu Xin heard the news, he was leaning on the dining chair, holding a wine glass, and subconsciously thinking about a problem.

That is…

   "Is this a reward to the three armies?"

  …

  The end of this event also marked the dissolution of the creative director group for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games that had been recruited since March 2006.

  All the materials left by everyone will be sealed up, and all the privileges of the Olympic Games will be terminated.

  Including Xu Xin's unlimited license plate and so on.

Before the National Day, everyone should remove a series of personal belongings left in the conference center, the Olympic Games, the Bird's Nest and other places, and then seal up and file all the materials that can leave a strong mark in the history of the Chinese Dynasty as a valuable experience , left to posterity.

  Xu Xin actually has nothing here.

   Except for a few sets of clothes, nothing else.

  So after the banquet was over, he didn't go home directly, but went to the director's office to take everything away.

   Prepare to enter the filming progress and study of "The Wind" wholeheartedly.

   And we don’t feel sad about parting, we are all in the same system, after this award, we will go our separate ways, but as long as we are in the same system, we are still family members.

  Even, the Olympic Games have closely linked everyone's relationship together.

  Even if we are separated, the relationship is still there.

  Look up but see down.

A difficult one, P Plus support.

   are all relationships.

  Although there is reluctance, there is a better tomorrow waiting for everyone.

   Not sentimental.

   It was just agreed that if the food is not satisfying on the day of the state banquet, everyone will find a place to have a good meal.

  The premise is to slow down the spirit first.

   is really boring...

   When Xu Xin came back, including Director Zhang, they didn't come back.

  The whole director's office was empty, except for himself.

   Packing his bag and carrying his luggage, he walked out of the rest room.

   Originally, he wanted to take the elevator directly... But for some reason, after thinking about it, he carried his bag and started to walk from floor to floor.

  The small office of the director group.

  Push open the door and turn on the light.

   Empty, empty of people.

  After taking a panoramic view of everything, he silently turned off the lights and closed the door.

  Large meeting room...The blackboard still has the contingency plan for the closing ceremony that everyone discussed yesterday.

   It is no longer needed.

  So, he put down his bag, walked in and picked up the blackboard eraser.

   Wipe clean.

   Finally turn off the lights and close the door.

  Next, video technology production, reference room, prop room, reception room...

   One room, another room.

  Turned all the houses around and read them again.

  Walking around, the memories of more than two years rolled down, and finally, he reached the first floor.

   On the first floor, there is a big mirror.

  It is used for grooming.

   And behind the mirror, there is a line of big characters customized by the production team:

   "The interests of the motherland are above all else!"

  Under the blazing light, Xu Xin stood at the door and turned his head to look back.

  Looking at this place that has been with me day and night for more than two years, but is destined to become an indelible imprint and unforgettable memory in my life...

   After thinking for a while, he put down his luggage.

   Bowed respectfully to everything inside the door.

Thanks for your hard work.

goodbye.

   (Note 1: The time of the Paralympic Games is wrong, and the writing is confusing, but it does not affect, and there is no need to compare it)

   The Olympics storyline is over.
