I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

   Chapter 587 585. Settle

   "God, the whole city sees her grandma... Is this the story in your primary school text?"

   "Hahahahaha..."

   "The nuclear bomb, everyone will see grandma."

   "Hahahaha~"

   "You put the rolls and apples in the refrigerator for a while. If he wants to eat them, you can warm them up for him. I will steam them in two pots later."

   "Why steam so much, I want to call you when I want to eat it, can't you steam it fresh for me. I hate the taste of the flower rolls in the refrigerator."

   "How much do you pay me a month? I'll be your babysitter?"

   "A million dollars will do."

   "Where did you send the beggar?"

  At the lunch table, a group of people chatted noisily.

   After finishing the meal, Wang Sicong held a toothpick in his mouth and watched a few friends utter bold words:

   "Where shall we go tonight? I'll arrange a big table."

  Although he didn't know how big he meant by "big", Xu Xin waved his hand uninterestedly:

   "The two of us will return to Yanjing in the afternoon. After staying in Yanjing for two days, she is going to continue filming "The Great Master" and go to the northeast. I will go to Xi'an to see the set. How about you two?"

   "I'll go back to find MIUMIU in a while. I'm going to Norway early tomorrow morning, and I guess it will take three or four days to come back."

"I'm going back to Los Angeles too, and I'm going to finish the post-dubbing quickly and then "The Voice" will continue to record... Oh yes, "Green Hornet" will be released in January, and the promotion will start in November. Give me a break."

  Both Xu Xin and Lang Lang nodded to indicate that there was no problem, but Yang Mi waved her hand and said:

   "I don't think it's possible to go here. The promotion period of "Wulin Biography" is about to start, and I still have to film and take care of the children, so I won't go."

  After several people talked about their itinerary, Wang Sicong was a little speechless:

   "What do you mean? All go? Then what should I do?"

   "What should I do? You haven't seen Tang Yan for a few days? Hurry up and match her lines and behave better. If you have nothing to do, go to Xi'an..."

  Before Xu Xin finished speaking, Yang Mi said:

   "He doesn't need to go to Xi'an."

"how?"

  Seeing that her husband was at a loss, Yang Mi turned to look at Wang Sicong:

   "I have a task for you."

"What?"

"I want to create a new variety show, temporarily named it "The Masked Singer". I will send you a plan in the next two days. Tian Lai's planning department is in Yanjing now. You can catch this project during this time. I will Don't worry about it."

   "...?"

   "???"

   "New Variety Show!?"

  As soon as she said this, all three of them became interested.

   After Yang Mi roughly explained what kind of idea it was, Jay Chou was the first to frown:

"Can this...can be done? It's easy to guess, right? For example...JJ, his voice is so special, people can recognize it as soon as they hear it. Or people like Zhang Yu and Tao Zhe...everyone is from the music circle, How could you not know him?"

   "So it's a variety show rather than a talent show."

  Yang Mi is not as serious as Jay Chou:

"This kind of activity is fun, and it will not be as professional as Haosheng, but it is enough for the audience to hear so many professional singers competing on the same stage and listening to them perform songs of different singers. So it is not It focuses on competition, but entertainment. Its outcome is not that important~”

   "Oh ~ makes sense."

   Under Jay Chou's nod, Yang Mi looked at Wang Sicong:

   "How is it? You are in charge of this project, is there any problem?"

"no problem."

  Wang Sicong readily agreed.

  He's...he really doesn't want to be idle right now.

   It's good to be busy.

   There won't be so many messy things.

   "Then let's say that? Let's go?"

"Um."

  Xu Xin responded and stood up:

   "Then we are going back to Yanjing."

   "Leave now?"

   "Well. The child is still at home, Apple, send us off."

"OK."

  I didn't bring any luggage, so I left as soon as I said it, and the two of them were quite relaxed.

   There is no difference between the few people.

  Before leaving, Yang Mi was still a little worried about Wang Sicong, and said solemnly:

   "A good horse never turns back, do you hear me?"

"rest assured."

  The young master readily agreed:

   "I'll wait for you to introduce me to the girl."

   "..."

  The corner of Yang Mi's mouth twitched... She shook her head helplessly, bid farewell to everyone with Xu Xin, and left.

  No words all the way.

   Arriving at Modu Airport in Apple's car, Xu Xin looked at the domestic departure gate where people were coming and going, and he was stunned before realizing that he and his wife had to take civil aviation this trip.

   After getting off the car, the two said goodbye to Apple.

  Xu Xin hung his wife's bag on his shoulder, pulled down his mask a little, and lit a cigarette in front of the trash can.

   "Is the ticket booked?"

   "Tickets have been issued."

  Yang Mi responded, stretched out her hand to help him press down the brim of the hat to prevent being recognized, and suddenly said:

   "Can you drive another car?"

   "What's wrong?"

   "No, I think Volvo is a bit ugly."

   "But that car is safe. In the future, when taking children to school or something, the safety of a commercial car is a structural flaw. It is not as safe as an SUV."

"That car is not for sale, but when I bought it, it was because I was pregnant. Now the child can sit in a safety seat, and two cars take up too much space. Save one for the child to use later, and replace it for you? And many people also know that you drive this car... Volvo is still too small for us, and the shape of that car is a bit bulky. Shall I change it for you?"

   "...?"

  Xu Xin's eyes were full of weirdness.

   "You're making it sound like you're taking care of me. It sounds so strange to me."

   "Strange is right."

  Yang Mi smiled and moved closer, and said in a low voice:

   "As long as you serve my good sister... Tell me, Mercedes-Benz? BMW? Land Rover? My sister will buy you something?"

"this…"

  Xu Xin is a little twitchy:

   "Sister, I'm not such a person... I'm with you, not because of your money."

   "You don't value sister's money, what are you trying to do with sister?"

  Yang Mi has a look of "little fool" pampering:

   "My sister just wants to spend money for you, what's the matter?...Choose one, what do you want?"

"this…"

  Xu Xin looked even more coy.

  Looking around with a cigarette in his mouth, he said obediently:

   "Someone is going to send me a W12 Audi A8..."

   "Yo? Who? Who has taken a fancy to our little one?"

   "Just... Mr. Wang~"

  He even started to squeeze his throat:

   "Boss Wang said he would give me an A8... that car costs more than two million yuan. Sister, you won't be angry when you hear that he gave me such an expensive gift?"

  Yang Mi was stunned...

   "A8 is still such an expensive car?"

   "Yes, just the deadly express, the car of the same model as Jason Statham. The naked car is more than one hundred and ninety..."

"Understood."

  Yang Mi nodded and took out her mobile phone.

  Xu Xin thought she wanted a contact to buy a car for her, so she hurriedly asked:

   "Which one are you going to buy?"

  Yang Mi didn't say a word.

   Instead, he typed a line into the phone.

  Click, send.

   Then sent the screen to her husband:

"Give."

   "..."

  Xu Xin looked at the screen.

  Recipient: Pharaoh

  Content: The W12 Audi A8 that I promised to buy for my husband will be in place quickly, or the next time I see you, I will smash your dog's head!

   "..."

   He was dumbfounded...

"you…"

   "Oh, my big baby is so good~"

  The little young woman pinched the face of her boyfriend with a doting face:

   "I know how to save money for my sister. So cute~"

   "..."

  My dear mother.

   This woman is... horrible.

  How could she do such a thing? Obviously she said she wanted to buy a car for herself, but she opened and closed her big mouth, bared her big teeth, and blackmailed someone else for an A8?

   If you don't give it, you will smash other people's heads!

  God lol...

   A little speechless, he stubbed out the cigarette butt, grabbed her hand and stuffed it into his pocket:

   "I'm telling you! Yang Mi! Don't be too nice to me! Otherwise... I'll beat you to death!"

  Being held by him and walking into the airport, Yang Mi rolled her eyes with a smile.

  Demo, waiting for you when you get home! Not sure who hit whom.

  …

   "Hello! Xu Xin, Yang Mi! Are you returning to China because of Wang Sicong's business!?"

   "Who is Wang Sicong? I don't know you well, please let me go."

"Hello…"

   "Let me go, let me go, thank you..."

  As soon as they arrived in Yanjing, they were blocked by a group of reporters when they left the airport exit.

   is outrageous.

   Now this person's privacy is really not protected at all?

  Xu Xin protected his daughter-in-law and squeezed out of the crowd among a group of long guns and short guns.

  Finally, with the help of Cheng Hu and Sun Ting, they got into the car.

   "Hoo..."

  Xu Xin gasped, looked at the reporter outside the window, and said speechlessly:

   "Are these people crazy?"

"Used to it."

  Yang Mi, who has long been familiar with the strange thing, shrugged:

   "You bought the ticket in front of you, and people used the flight information to sell money in the back. It's normal, and this has formed an industrial chain."

  Xu Xin shook his head helplessly, and leaned back on the seat:

   "Brother Hu, let's go."

   Cheng Hu nodded and started the car slowly.

  …

   While the couple was complaining about the fact that personal privacy is sold like a commodity in the society, Lin Yufen was sitting at Li Guoli's home with an ugly expression.

  Li Guoli's home decoration is very particular.

  Using the most popular vocabulary nowadays to describe it is to highlight an "antique".

  He seems to be particularly fond of Ming Dynasty furniture styles. Whether it's the sofa or the grand master's chair for guests in the study, the furnishings are all like the Ming Dynasty style in TV dramas and movies.

  In addition to the burning sandalwood in the study, people just sit here, there is a feeling of silent speech.

  However, all these arrangements were like floating clouds in front of Lin Yufen.

  She just looked at Li Guoli, her face was extremely ugly.

   Li Guoli, who was sitting opposite her, was silent, holding a teacup, wondering what he was thinking.

  The atmosphere was quiet for less than a minute, and Lin Yufen spoke again:

   "Director Li, I am the director of this play, and I don't even have the right to use anyone else? What's more, I use artists from our own company."

  Hearing this, Li Guoli shook his head slightly:

   "Shishi's acting skills are also average."

   "Is this what you mean, or Mr. Cai?"

   "It has nothing to do with who's meaning. Didn't I tell you that Shishi is now under the snow because she violated the company's regulations."

   "But she obviously acted in "Weird Man"! Do I understand that the company is targeting me?"

  Lin Yufen continued to ask:

"What about the creative freedom promised at the beginning? I got the heroine from Yang Mi to use our company. I have already made an agreement with her. Now it has been more than a month and there is no action. Is the company looking down on me? Can be on your TV series, but not mine?"

"of course not."

   Li Guoli denied her statement.

   But looking at her angry expression, I felt very helpless.

   people, it's not that he won't allow them to use them.

   But now he has become a middleman.

   Have to deal with this kind of trouble.

   "Fen, you have to understand that the company has company considerations..."

   "What considerations? This film itself is valued by the company. The company hesitated, and the copyright was taken away by others. Now I have won the filming rights back, but I can't wait for a heroine?"

  Lin Yufen has no intention of backing down.

  It is impossible for her to back down.

  If she backs down, not only will she lose the rights of the director in the future, but she will be regarded as a "easy to bully" by others.

   Even more unable to look up to Yang Mi.

  Since everyone started getting in touch, Yang Mi gave her enough face.

  Budget, what she says counts.

   Candidates, she has the final say.

  Shooting cycle, train of thought...everything, Yang Mi didn't even shake her head.

   In this play, I gave myself an unprecedented degree of freedom.

  But now I can't handle an actor in my company?

   Let’s get this out…

  How will you mess around in the rivers and lakes in the future?

  She doesn't want face?

  Thinking of this, she said directly to Li Guoli:

"Director Li, I really can't accept this matter. For the role of Ruoxi, I will only let Shishi play it. This is the principle I insist on. I am the director. If people in the company don't even have the right to use this ..."

   "..."

  Lin Yufen didn't finish speaking, but Li Guoli had already understood the meaning.

  His complexion became a little ugly.

   It's not angry, but an expression of "what are you doing":

   "Fen, do you know what you are talking about?"

  But Lin Yufen is still firm:

"This is my bottom line, Director Li. If it's an outsider, I can understand that the company will give priority to our own people in consideration of the artists. Because this is the company's business development needs. However, I want to use the artists in the company , and a person who was still filming with you in the summer, but now he uses a so-called excuse of snow storage to prevaricate me, I can't accept it.

  This thing is...too much! I can give in, what about the others? What about Director Wu? What about the tour guide? As directors, if we can't even control the people inside our company, is there still a place for us in this company? Do we still have the right to speak in the future! ? So, I can't accept it. "

   Now, Li Guoli didn't say a word.

  In fact, he also knew that Lin Yufen was right.

   As for Liu Shishi, he actually doesn't care much.

   It’s not that it’s optional, but I don’t think it should be.

   Everyone is an adult. From the perspective of the company, what is the most important thing, as a leader, still don't know?

   And he can also see that in the matter between Shishi and Cai Yinong, there may be mostly personal grievances.

but…

  I don't care how you settle personal grievances.

  The position of the director team I worked so hard to cultivate in this matter suddenly became awkward.

  If Lin Yufen is easy to talk to, then it's fine.

  But now that the other party is so persistent...then Li Guoli himself understands that he will take action both emotionally and rationally.

   To put it bluntly.

  If the investor wants to appoint a heroine, that's okay.

  Director, you can shoot as long as you can, and if you don’t shoot, we will change people.

  But the investors didn't say anything, but the director and actors of a company couldn't get together.

  This matter can't be justified.

"…well."

  Li Guoli sighed:

   "Okay. Then I'll talk to you over there... just wait for my news."

   "Okay. We will enter the preparatory period in October."

  Lin Yufen reminded Li Guoli that she was about to enter the TV drama preparation stage, and then got up to leave.

   Li Guoli did not send it.

  The relationship between the two is not so vivid.

   After she left, Li Guoli returned to the study and waited for another pot of tea.

   Think quietly.

   After drinking a pot of tea, thinking is over.

  He picked up the phone and dialed Cai Yinong's number.

   "Doo...Hello, Director Li."

  Cai Yinong's voice sounded.

   "Well, are you busy now?"

   "Not busy, Director Li, tell me."

   "The heroine of the play "Scary Step By Step", let Shi Shi come."

   "..."

  Cai Yinong's voice fell silent.

   Li Guoli continued to say in a flat voice:

"Ah Fen just left with me. The director's choice of roles is part of his job. What's more, the investors didn't even interfere with the casting. If A Fen can't even control the artists of his own company this time, In the future, in the company, how will directors like them hold their heads up?"

   "Director Li, she has been hidden. And I have notified the whole company..."

   "Isn't that before "Weird Man"? She played "Weird Man" too, didn't she?"

"Can…"

   "Let's settle this matter."

  Li Guoli directly interrupted her words:

   "Don't let me be in the middle. Our company is an entertainment brokerage company that produces its own works. Can't you tell the difference between the director and the actors?"

   "..."

   "Mr. Cai?"

  In Cai Yinong's office, Secretary Lin looked at Cai Yinong, who looked a little unhappy, and asked tentatively:

"What's wrong?"

   Cai Yinong still didn't say a word, but after holding the phone for about a minute, he finally raised his head.

  Looking at Secretary Lin, she said:

   "Someone communicate with director Lin, and leave a supporting role for Gu Li Nazha. The role should be more important. Then...send the script to Shishi. "Scary Step by Step"."

"Well…"

   Secretary Lin subconsciously opened his mouth as if wanting to say something.

  But after her eyes fell on Mr. Cai's phone...she finally just answered:

   "Okay. Shishi's other business activities..."

   Cai Yinong didn't speak, but just glanced at her.

  Secretary Lin understood, and silently withdrew.

  …

   "You have to have a core, do you understand what I mean? That is... the role you play, first of all, when you understand her, you have to find the rationality of her existence.

  What is the essence of drama? is imitation.

  When we imitate a character, its rationality is the reason for its existence. I think you need to pay attention to this aspect.

  The reason why you are in a bad state today is because of this... You have never observed the state of the migrant women you played in the countryside at close range. The movement of their backpacks, their confusion and anxiety about the big city, and when they talk to people...

  The rustic feeling and a sense of inferiority revealed in the lines... These can be seen in many people who have just entered the city. But you don't act like that, it just feels cowardly to me, but not inferior...Since you like to use your own experience to embed it, then you must find the core that supports your acting skills.

  The more realistic your imitation, the closer you can be to the spiritual core of the character you play..."

  Backstage of the Yunnan Repertory Theater, Wang Yanhui told Liu Zhishi his understanding and ideas about the role.

   This girl was introduced to him by Yang Mi.

  I hope he will bring it to me.

  For so many years, although Yang Mi has not been on the drama stage for several years, the relationship between everyone has always been maintained very well.

  So, when Yang Mi said the phrase "Mr. Wang, please bring someone for me", Wang Yanhui agreed without thinking.

   Then I realized that the person I was going to bring was the very popular girl named Solanum nigrum in "Sword and Sword III".

  Wang Yanhui is not a person who likes to inquire about other people's affairs, so he didn't ask why the other party didn't act in a good TV series, so he came here. He just fulfilled his responsibilities very seriously and brought Liu Zhishi into the crew of the drama "Working Shed" he is currently acting in.

   Playing a migrant worker who came to the city to work as a nanny for others, and gradually changed from a low self-esteem rural girl to a migrant girl who can be desperate for an urban registered permanent residence, and finally lost in the city.

   It just so happened that the young working girl had to ask him to call him "Uncle" in the play.

  So Wang Yanhui basically took her with him both on and off stage recently.

  The drama is still in the rehearsal stage and is scheduled to begin in mid-October.

  During this time, whenever Wang Yanhui saw her problems, he would tell her.

   And Yang Mi also knows Teacher Wang's temper.

  Although he looks fierce, he is actually a very patient and talented person.

  Good touch.

   Otherwise, I wouldn’t recommend Liu Zhishi here.

  While Liu Zhishi was listening, she took a notebook to record her shortcomings.

   At the same time, he said:

   "Indeed, I felt that something was wrong when I acted... But I haven't seen that kind of person since I was a child... who really went to the city to work. I don't know where to meet..."

"It's simple, you go to the villages in the city. Gongzhufen, Daxing, Huangcun... There are plenty of these villages in the city. Let me tell you a trick, you just go to the village in the city to find a stall outside to eat every morning and evening. .

   Observe while eating you, you see how those girls live. How much is a meal? Looking at the supermarkets and shops in the villages in the city, what do they buy when they go in...

   It’s best to find a few girls who are willing to accept your inquiries, and ask them to take you to the house where you live to find out their real situation..."

"Jingle Bell…"

  Wang Yanhui's words were interrupted by Liu Zhishi's phone ringing.

"Feel sorry."

  Liu Zhishi hurriedly picked up the phone to hang up, but was stunned when she saw the caller.

   Li Minnian called.

   "You take it."

  Wang Yanhui said with a smile:

   "I'm going out for a cigarette."

   "Sorry, Teacher Wang."

"fine."

  Wang Yanhui waved his hand and walked out of the dressing room, and Liu Zhishi answered the phone:

   "Hello, Brother Li."

   "Shishi, the company sent me the script of "Scary Step by Step"!"

  The excitement in Li Minnian's voice was as real as it could be.

   "I'll let you go back to the company to sign the contract in the next two days! Ruoxi's role is yours now!"

   "Oh, okay, I see."

  Hearing this, Liu Zhishi was calm.

   Li Minnian was taken aback for a moment:

   "...Are you unhappy?"

   "Happy."

   She naturally knew what this meant.

only…

  She looked down at the notepad with densely written writing in her hand, and said directly:

   "Anything else?"

   "Huh?...This..."

   "I have nothing else to do, I hung up, Mr. Wang is talking to me about the role."

   "Uh... ok. So I've made arrangements?"

"Uh-huh."

  Liu Zhishi hung up the phone calmly.

   Then start to close your eyes and think.

  As a native of Yanjing, although Yanjing is very large, she still knows the branches of some urban villages very well.

  Even if there are not many remaining urban villages in Yanjing.

   I'll drive to see it later.

   Indeed, my shortcoming is that my experience is too shallow.

  The costume characters are okay, and most of the imitation can be done through film and television dramas.

   But in modern drama, if you don’t have a particularly deep understanding of the role you play, it’s really not good...

Um.

  Decided, go and have a look tonight.

  As for what Brother Li said about getting the role... Isn’t that also operated by Mimi?

  Actors just need to focus on acting.

especially…

  Even Liu Yifei won the award.

  Thinking of this, she slowly pursed her lips.

  I... can't lose!
