I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 528 526. "Scary every step"

"Jingle Bell."

  Looking at the caller, Xu Xin nodded to everyone in the conference room:

   "Sorry guys, I'm going to answer the phone."

   As he spoke, he quickly walked out of the conference room, turned directly to the side, and returned to his office.

  Although the position of deputy director of translation and dubbing is a Qingshui Yamen, it is just like what he said to Song Wen.

  This position is based on the thirteen ranks of state-owned enterprises. As the deputy director, he is already the head of the general management non-leadership category.

   Putting it in a township is equivalent to a deputy mayor.

   You know, how old is Xu Xin this year? And he is not from the public examination, which is a special recruit.

   In this position, if other staff members want to be promoted, at least three years of staff work experience are required.

  The next step is to wait for the few people in the factory to retire, mention the director, then dismiss them, and then transfer them to other departments.

   Go up step by step.

  At this moment, after Director Xu returned to the office, he answered the phone and said with a smile:

   "Hello, sister Pang."

   "Xiao Xu, are you busy now?"

   Pang Liwei asked.

   "Well, it's okay. It's okay, sister Pang, you go first, I still have more time here."

   "Uh...that's it."

  Pang Liwei hesitated for a moment, then said:

   "Today, the financial department will issue various first-phase project settlement statements of the crew, and use them to issue invoices and declare taxes. Then...the contract reservations and tax invoices for those advertisements that you let me pay attention to are also issued..."

  When she said this, she was actually a little guilty.

   Just like being a thief.

  But after Xu Xin heard this, he immediately said:

   "Well... where is the contract now?"

   "In my hand."

   "...Well, sister Pang, how about faxing it to me, please? Let me take a look at the contract."

   "Just... to see?"

  She seems to want to ask more details.

   But Xu Xin laughed:

"Haha, of course, just take a look. Then there are a few movies and TV shows here at Shuangwei that also have to file tax returns. Aren't we inexperienced? When the time comes, you can tell us about the process, such as what to report first and then what to report... In other words When your tax invoices are issued, when are you going to declare them?"

   "...If nothing else happens, it will be the end of the month."

   "That's it... okay, then after you report it, tell me, I have gained experience."

   "...Okay. Then I will fax you the contract in a while. Give me the fax number, and I will leave now."

   "Okay. Call me when you get to the fax machine, Sister Pang, and I will give you the signal."

"good."

  After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin turned around and switched on the speakerphone on the fax machine.

   "beep~~~"

   After confirming that his fax machine was functioning normally, he nodded in satisfaction and walked out again.

  The work efficiency of this group of soundtrack artists is also amazing.

  The main reason is that the tune of the song "BELLACIAO" is ready-made, they just need to make demos with different instruments to simulate the feeling the director wanted.

   And the lineup is top-notch.

   Originally, Jay Chou, who was on vacation for a period of time after the blind selection of "The Voice" and before the trainee training started, also stayed in Xi'an, in order to pass the movie soundtrack to his friends.

  After all, he who was able to create the hit OST of "The Unspeakable Secret" is definitely not a beginner with no experience in soundtracking.

  Thus, throughout the morning, various musical instrument versions of "BELLACIAO" would be played from time to time in the conference room.

  The whole meeting lasted for nearly two hours. Xu Xin selected 5 pieces of music. After narrowing down the scope again, looking at a Nanjing landline number displayed on his mobile phone, Xu Xin waved his hand again to signify the end of the meeting.

   Pressed the landline and sent the fax number of his office to Pang Liwei.

   He had just walked back to the office when the fax machine rang.

   "Hello, sister Pang."

   "Well, Xiao Xu, give me a signal."

"OK."

   Soon, there was a beep on the phone.

  The entire fax machine started working.

  Amidst the hustle and bustle, manuscripts were sent one after another.

   "Hey, Xin, what's for lunch?"

   Jay Chou and Lang Lang walked in.

  But Xu Xin waved his hand:

   "Sit down first, I've finished answering the fax here."

  The two of them sat down on the sofa without thinking too much, and began to button their phones.

   I have to mention that the advent of smart phones has given everyone a more colorful life on the mobile side.

  And with the abundance of various apps, it has become a habit for many people to start swiping their phones when they are free.

  Even Lang Lang and Jay Chou were not exempt.

  And after Lang Lang fiddled with the phone for a while, he heard the fax machine sending out papers one after another. He asked Xu Xin a little puzzled:

   "What the hell? So long? I'm hungry~"

"work documents."

  Xu Xin didn't say much, and continued to pick up one by one.

   Until the fax machine prompts to add paper, a thick stack of business advertising cooperation documents is finally over.

  He probably glanced at it twice, and suddenly let out a chuckle:

"ha."

  Put the file in the only locked drawer of his desk, and after locking it, he sent a message to Pang Liwei:

   "Got it, sister Pang has worked hard."

   After speaking, he got up and said:

   "Let's go, let's eat."

   "Finished?"

"Um."

  The three of them walked out together.

  After the meal was over, Lang Lang and Jay Chou went back to the villa.

   Also brought a USB flash drive.

   Inside are various demos of "BELLACIAO".

   Used to find inspiration.

  Xu Xin did not leave, but returned to his office.

   There was no lunch break, he just sat in his office chair and fell into deep thought.

  The contract has been sent, the next step is to wait for the tax invoice.

  With the tax invoice, as long as the tax invoice is consistent with the tax on the contract and kept in the tax bureau for internal filing, it means that the formalities have been completed.

   Advertisements for new screens have become "legitimate income".

  If you want to deny it, you can't deny the legal income.

   But this is the first step, just the beginning.

  There is another bigger difficulty, that is... who should I find to cooperate with to break through this relationship.

  His first reaction was to find the old man.

   After all, the old man knows people, eats and sees more people, which is a great credit.

   But this idea, after a few days of consideration, was completely rejected.

   This kind of thing...

  He didn't want to involve the family.

  Besides, benefits represent risks.

  If you find the wrong person, or find someone who is also in this bureau, then you may die without knowing how.

   So, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

   Can't have anything to do with the old man.

   You can’t underestimate other people’s relationships, especially the ghosts and monsters in the shadows.

   So... who should I call?

  In the factory?

  Not even in the factory.

  People who can do this kind of thing must have as little connection with the film and television industry as possible.

   I need to find it from Mr. Tian...

   To put it bluntly, he has already felt a mountain-like sea of ​​pressure before he started to do it...

  There is no reason why Tian can't feel it.

  As a member of the Xiying Studio family, even if Mr. Tian agrees to such a big storm, others may not agree.

   This is to push the entire film and television industry to its opposite.

   Regardless of whether the factory dares to do it or not, Xu Xin himself can't mention it at all.

  I mentioned it, it seemed that I was too reckless.

  After losing the stability of "young and mature", after being labeled as "young and aggressive, with shallow experience and immature skills", everyone may have concerns in their hearts about what they want to do in the future.

   also does not work.

  Thinking of this, he lit a cigarette in distress.

  In the smoke, he actually imagined a possibility.

   That is to let the old man talk to his old man and introduce some relationships.

   But it is also possible that this will make Lao Wang feel that he is using his son as a weapon.

   What's more... The risk of this matter is indeed too great. He didn't even want to mention Lao Lang and the wheel at noon, for fear of getting them both involved.

  The blood in the old king's heart is hotter than his own.

  In case of impulsiveness... It's really unnecessary.

   No, you have to calm down...

  He took two deep puffs on his cigarette.

   Then there is only...one direction left.

  He subconsciously turned on the phone.

   His gaze flicked back and forth between the letters L and Z in the phone book.

   Zhang Wu's words... It's not a system, so it's not easy to stretch your hands too far.

  Liu Kuan...

  Modu Circle now believes in low-key development, not to mention that Sister Mo is also in this circle.

   If the rumor leaks out, not only will she be implicated, but she will be implicated even more.

  tsk...

  Thinking of this, he completely averted his gaze, and moved his fingers down. Among the sequence of letters "A", many numbers in the format of "Olympics-XX" came into view.

   Many people say that he is the head of the Ouchi.

   is actually right.

  Even including the post-Olympic Games, as everyone became more and more busy, whether it was funding issues or the formalities for approval from leaders, he was also running.

  You want to talk about the contact information of the direct leader "Da Da Da Da", but he doesn't have it.

  People won't give it either.

  The way to contact everyone, including the old man, is through landlines.

  Every call is made from the landline.

   There are no more than three people in the entire Olympic director team who really have a mobile phone number.

   It is not known who the old man, Zhang Wuyou, and the third person are, but Xu Xin is not included anyway.

   But some department heads on the phone, he has.

  As long as he finds a reasonable way of communication, he feels that he can still contact some big leaders.

   But it takes a long way to go around, and it's hard to say whether we can meet each other.

  He was worried about this.

How to do it…

   Flipping through the various contacts in the phone number, he frowns.

  Suddenly, he thought of a person.

  Although he has always maintained a doubtful attitude towards this kindness... But if it is that person, will it work?

  But as soon as this thought arose, he frowned again.

  Not to mention...

   There is no contact information either.

Um? No... it seems that there are...

   In other words, he doesn’t have this contact information, but... Can Uncle Liu build a bridge for the lead?

  Or…

  Go to the magic capital, ask, chat?

this…

  In the quiet office, in the wind of the smoke, his eyes gradually became hollow.

   It's really... startling every step of the way.

  …

  Modu, the headquarters of the Tang dynasty.

"Da da da."

   Cai Yinong tapped the document in front of him with his pen, and drew a circle on the one-inch photo:

   "This is fine. This little girl is absolutely fine, Xiao Jiang, have you ever had contact with her?"

   "There is contact information, and I have made two phone calls. This little girl is quite vigilant, and she still doesn't believe that I am a scout for our company."

  Across from her, a fat man in his thirties smiled and shook his head.

"I have always wanted to ask her to meet, but she never let go, saying that she doesn't know us yet, and she has no interest. But this reason came out recently. When I called her for the first time, She asked a lot. For example, artist contract, how to arrange debut and so on."

  Jiang Lin, a scout from Tang Dynasty.

  One of Zhao Bin's apprentices.

  After the quarrel with Liu Zhishi broke out, Cai Yinong not only let Zhao Bin, the most trustworthy and sharp-eyed in the company, come out.

   At the same time, there is Tangren's own huge scout system.

  The purpose is to dig out good seedlings worth cultivating across the country.

  They are related, and getting student information is a breeze.

   After all, this thing is not illegal.

  Not to mention anything else, just those headhunting companies have bundles of materials for every art school.

  Even some big headhunting companies don't need to search for them deliberately, and someone will naturally send them to them. After all, if your school can produce a star, it will be an excellent attraction and signboard for future students.

   "She's not uninterested, is she?"

   "Yes, Mr. Cai. She should not be able to determine my real identity."

   "Then work harder, this little girl is really good."

   Cai Yinong glanced at the photo again, and his eyes fell on the admission information next to him.

   "Gulinazha, from northern Xinjiang?"

"Yes."

   "No wonder...beautiful people come out of good mountains and rivers."

  Cai Yinong nodded:

   "Go ahead and follow up more."

"Understood."

  Jiang Lin nodded, just as Secretary Lin walked in, he didn't stay long, got up and said goodbye.

   After Cai Yinong watched him leave, his eyes fell on his secretary and asked:

"What's wrong?"

   "...Mr. Cai, Yu Zheng has canceled the cooperation with us."

   "!"

  Cai Yinong's eyes widened instantly.

  But in the next second, she didn't seem surprised at all, she just sat on the chair and asked:

   "Has anyone else recommended it?"

   "They all recommended it, but their reply was that it didn't fit Luo Qingchuan's personality. It's a pity, but I already plan to hand over the script to other companies for production."

   "Which specific company, did you ask clearly?"

   "They didn't say."

   "..."

  Cai Yinong has regret and anger on his face at this moment, but more of a sneer of "waiting to see your joke".

   "Okay, if you cancel it, just cancel it. Let the literary consultants see which other books are suitable for adaptation. If the price is not expensive, hurry up and buy it."

"Understood."

   "Well, you go."

   Secretary Lin stepped away.

  Cai Yinong leaned on the chair, his eyes fell on the document in his hand from top to bottom.

  On the one-inch photo of Nazha, who can hardly pick out any flaws from the perspective of the plane, the circle drawn by her is very conspicuous at this moment.

  For some reason, Cai Yinong nodded slightly, and the trace of anger in his heart was reduced a lot.

   And at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

   But at the same time as the knock, the door was pushed open.

  In the entire Tangren Company, no more than three people dare to do this.

   Cai Yinong raised his head, and when he saw the person coming, a smile appeared on his face:

   "Director Li."

  That’s right, the person who came here is the pillar of Tang Ren’s company, and the famous director Li Guoli who single-handedly brought Tang Ren to today.

"Um."

  Li Guoli nodded, looked around, and asked:

   "Busy?"

   "Not busy, take a seat... Director Li, how is the matter with "Strange Man"?"

  Cai Yinong didn't stay behind the office chair this time, but came directly to the reception sofa.

   Boil water, make tea, and entertain Li Guoli.

   "I'm working on it, and it's probably about a month or two away."

   Li Guoli leaned on the sofa and said something.

   While talking, she waited for Cai Yinong to play with the tea set in front of her.

  From editing to investment, to the dubbing status of the film and so on, the tea is also boiled.

   Make tea, pour tea.

  A cup of tea was held in his hand.

   "Director Li, please."

"Um."

   Li Guoli responded, and then cut to the chase:

   "Xiao Lin called me just now."

   "...Director Lin?"

   Cai Yinong asked tentatively after reacting for a while.

"right."

   Li Guoli nodded.

  Cai Yinong was a little puzzled, and asked tentatively:

   "Director Lin is looking for you... for something?"

   "Well, about "Scary Step by Step"."

   "..."

  After hearing Li Guoli's words, Cai Yinong's eyes were full of astonishment.

   "Scary Step By Step"...?

  Her first reaction:

   "She has contact with Yang Mi?"

   Now it was Li Guoli's turn to be speechless.

   Listening to what this means, it seems that you have become enemies.

   Then asked:

   "You have a grudge against Yang Mi?"

   "...That's not true."

  Cai Yinong subconsciously wanted to say, "That little girl is ignorant".

  But this... She dared to say it a year ago.

  But now... there are not many people in the whole circle who dare to say that about Yang Mi.

   But Li Guoli nodded, with some emotion in his eyes:

"Unexpectedly... the little girl who filmed "Sword and Sword III" back then...Although I thought she had an aura that ordinary people didn't have in her before. But in the past two years, once she got this pair of gold, she suddenly became a boss and her status improved. The child is not the same. Tsk tsk..."

   "..."

  Cai Yinong didn't answer the question.

  Actually, she didn't have any bad feelings towards Yang Mi.

   It's just that I don't like smart people like the other party naturally.

  Because of dealing with smart people, companies don't always take advantage.

   If you can't take advantage, you will lose.

  It’s the same as the principle that if you don’t pick up money when you go out, you will lose money.

  And... She always felt that this little girl had a lot of bad intentions, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

  Obviously apart from "Sword of Immortal Sword", I have no social interaction, but this feeling always lingers in my heart for a long time.

  So, she didn't get too entangled in this aspect, but asked:

   "What happened to "Scary Step by Step"?"

   "Xiao Lin and Yang Mi have a good personal relationship."

  Li Guoli said:

"From the beginning of "Sword and Sword III" to the present, the personal relationship between the two has always been good. Then Yang Mi opened "The Legend of Zhen Huan". When we wanted "Scary Step by Step", it was Xiao Lin who I went to talk about it. But Yang Mi was hesitant at the time whether it was "The Legend of Zhen Huan" or "Scary Step by Step". Later, Zheng Xiaolong got involved. Bring it up with her again."

   Speaking of this, he shrugged:

"No, Xiao Lin won the story of "Scary Step by Step". Moreover, the script of "Scary Step By Step" has also been revised. Xiao Lin looked at it and found it very suitable, so he was discussing the shooting Things. Come and talk to you."

   "Is that so..."

   Cai Yinong thought for a while and asked:

   "Did Lin mention the investment? We can invest."

   "I mentioned it, but Yang Mi didn't agree. Her lover, that nice young man doesn't seem to be short of money at home, right?"

   "Xu Xin?...That's right."

  Cai Yinong nodded:

   "It is said that the family is a coal mine... Hey, her life is really good."

   "..."

   This tone is not strange to say the least, but it is not ordinary either.

   Li Guoli's face was a little strange:

   "You really don't have any holidays?"

"without."

   "One child, why are you so eccentric?"

  Li Guoli was a little puzzled.

   And others dare not say this to Cai Yinong, that is him.

   Cai Yinong had to nod in agreement:

   "Yes, yes... that's what I said. But... we are not allowed to invest, she just wants to cooperate with Director Lin?"

"right."

  Li Guoli nodded:

"You also know that Xiao Lin's temperament is the most down-to-earth among these people. I am very optimistic that she will take over my class when the time comes. And for so many years, she has been diligently by my side, and it is so easy for me It's hard for me to refuse a request, so I agreed to her directly."

   is to agree.

   Instead of coming to discuss with Cai Yinong.

   Sure enough, Cai Yinong hesitated when he heard this.

   And Li Guoli glanced at her:

   "What? You don't want to?"

   "No no no. Haha~"

   Cai Yinong smiled and shook his head:

   "It's just a movie, how could I not want to. Director Li has agreed, so what else can I say? Let's make it."

   In terms of love, Li Guoli is the company's reliance.

  Yu Li, he is a shareholder of the company.

   is also the "family property" of the company.

   To make Director Li unhappy for a play?

impossible.

  So, Li Guoli smiled and nodded:

"Well, then I'll let her do the preparations. But I also made an agreement with her. If there is a need for a role, I will give priority to finding it from the company. At that time, I will bring a few more people there. There are not many stories that can make Xiaolin so excited. See you. I'll take a closer look later, maybe it's really a good script. Even if we don't invest, we won't make less money."

   "Well, OK!"

  Cai Yinong directly agreed, very happy:

"no problem!"
