I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

   Chapter 79 077. The truth revealed

   "Hello, Teacher Shen, I'm Yang Mi, a friend of Xu Xin. I'm sorry to trouble you, but I came here to pick me up..."

  In the palace wall road.

  Yang Mi hurriedly expressed her thanks.

   Upon hearing this, Assistant Shen was also very polite, and said with a smile:

"It's okay, the main thing is that Teacher Xu is busy there, and he can't get out. Miss Yang, you are welcome. If you need it in the future, let Teacher Xu talk to me. I will help you get a pass. It will be convenient to come here." .”

   "...Thank you, Teacher Shen."

   "Haha, you're welcome...it's over there, let's go."

"All right."

  Yang Mi sighed in her heart as she followed his footsteps...

   They are all human beings.

  Wang Zhu wanted to confirm his...or Xu Xin's identity, so he sent a driver over to have a look.

   Actually, the assistant of director Zhang Yimou didn’t even need to come out, as long as Xu Xin came and brought himself in.

   is the best proof that I have contacted the crew of "Golden Armor".

  She thought Xu Xin understood herself...

   It's just that I didn't expect that the other party not only understood, but even sent a heavyweight person.

  Although I don't know how he discussed with Assistant Shen. Maybe the assistant of director Zhang Yimou came out and reported his family first... This shows that Xu Xin must have guessed what he meant, and at the same time gave a generous feedback far exceeding expectations.

  He actually hired director Zhang Yimou's assistant to cooperate with this play!

   This is director Zhang Yimou's assistant!

   As the saying goes, one person rises to heaven, why does Wang Zhu and the others, who are clearly just assistants on the set, want him to be given three points by everyone, including the actors?

   Isn't it because he is Zhang Jizhong's assistant?

  Assistants are the most important people with artists. If nothing else is mentioned, just say that in the public relations of my company, Rong Xinda, there are people who specialize in assistant work.

  In the entertainment circle, perhaps the most overlooked position by outsiders is the assistant of a certain artist.

   But in fact, it is this group of people that cannot be ignored the most.

  The little artist is alright.

  Who is the assistant of a great artist?

   let alone Zhang Yimou...

  Thinking of this, Yang Mi panicked for no reason...

  She always felt that this time Xu Xin and her "cowhide" exaggerated...

   It's really blown up.

   When they were feeling a little flustered, finally, the two of them came to the square of a palace.

  I also saw the crew moving things out of the palace.

   "Huh? Is the content in it finished?"

   Assistant Shen was a little surprised.

  Yang Mi was completely dumbfounded...

  Because she saw a person.

   Zhou Renfa!

  Zhou Renfa was walking down the steps supported by several staff members!

   He watched helplessly as the golden opponent turned into a tent.

  She just came back to her senses...

   Then I saw Gong Li who was the mother of the world.

Who is that?

  Oh yes...it seems to be called Liu Ye.

   Omg!

   Jay Chou! !

   Jay Chou! ! !

   For no reason, her calves began to tremble.

   Not afraid.

   I want to rush over to ask for an autograph and a group photo...

  However, these people are surrounded by staff, those who should put on makeup, and those who should change their clothes.

  When the two stepped on the steps along the way, the shock in Yang Mi's heart and the eyes that had been staring at Jay Chou had gradually turned into a kind of apprehension.

  What about Xu Xin?

  Where is Xu Xin?

   Just as she was thinking, she and Assistant Shen had already arrived on the steps.

   "Teacher Xu is here."

  Standing at the entrance of the main hall, Assistant Shen pointed to the corner next to the door.

  Yang Mi subconsciously poked her head inside, and at the first sight she saw Xu Xin who was bent over his desk and didn't know what he was doing...but immediately her second glance was aimed at the person standing beside Xu Xin...

  Wearing a simple long-sleeved shirt and a peaked cap, he supported the table with one hand, facing himself sideways, and pointed at the place where Xu Xin buried his head with the other hand...

That is…

open…

  Zhang Yimou! ! !

  In an instant, the girl felt that her brain was a little short of oxygen.

  A somewhat excited and somewhat absurd idea came out of my heart.

Won't…

   Won’t really introduce me and…

and…

   and Zhang...Do you know Director Zhang?

  She was suddenly in a trance.

   At this time, a voice sounded:

   "Student Yang?"

  Yang Mi turned her head instinctively, and when she saw the short-haired sister, she subconsciously greeted her politely:

   "Hello, Miss Wei..."

   Upon hearing this voice, Xu Xin turned his head away.

   "Hey, are you here?"

   Seeing Yang Mi standing at the door with straightened eyes, Xu Xin showed a smile.

   And when he turned his head, Zhang Yimou also turned his head.

   Then I saw the strange girl at the door.

  At the same time, several people heard Xu Xin's words:

   "Director Zhang, she is Yang Mi, my classmate...a good friend. I got the inspiration when I saw her in the afternoon."

   "..."

  After Zhang Yimou heard the words, his brows suddenly frowned.

  Yang Mi panicked.

  The body is stiff.

  Seeing Director Zhang look him up and down, his brows slowly loosened, and he asked Xu Xin:

   "Actor too?"

   "Hmm. Also a source of inspiration~"

   "Hmm... The appearance is good. Look back, if there is a suitable role, you can try... Are you just waiting for my words?"

  As soon as Zhang Yimou lowered his head, he saw Xu Xin's grinning appearance.

   He was taken aback for a moment, and then gave him an annoyed look:

   "Hurry up and draw!"

  Under Yang Mi's ecstatic gaze, Xu Xin chuckled:

   "Alright~"

  …

   "Sister Wei..."

  Standing outside the hall, Yang Mi looked at the scene where Brother Fa was walking up the steps holding Gong Li's hand in the camera of the crew, and asked cautiously:

   "Xu Xin...in...in Director Zhang's team...what the **** is he doing?"

   "Did Xiao Xu not tell you?"

   Wei Lanfang was a little surprised.

   "...Not much to say."

  Hearing this, Wei Lanfang nodded:

   "Xiao Xu is very good, he is a member of the creative team."

   "...as good as you?"

  Wei Lanfang had fun.

  Heart said that this girl can talk.

   But still shaking his head:

   "I am the project negotiator for the opening and closing ceremonies. I am responsible for coordinating the relationship between various departments. I am not a member of the creative team. He is amazing~"

   "..."

  Yang Mi instinctively looked into the hall.

  Unfortunately, Wei Lanfang didn't let her get close.

   Because of confidentiality.

   Except for the team members, even that Assistant Shen just now was not allowed to approach.

"but…"

   At this moment, Wei Lanfang suddenly looked at her:

   "If his current design plan can pass, student Yang...Although it is a bit exaggerated to say it, but if it really passes, then as the inspiration for Xiao Xu, you should feel honored."

"Well…"

  Yang Mi was puzzled.

  But Wei Lanfang didn't say much, just laughed:

   "I have a good relationship with Xu Xin, that's why I told you, but don't tell others, do you have to keep it secret?"

   "Yeah, I see."

  She nodded quickly, but couldn't help herself, and asked in a low voice:

   "Sister Wei... can you tell me how Xu Xin... joined?"

   "Want to know?"

   Wei Lanfang rolled his eyes, on the one hand, he was satisfied with Xiao Xu's confidentiality work.

   After all, it is such a big deal, other young people might have been eager to show it off.

  Talk to family first, then to friends...

  But this beautiful girl who knew at first glance that she was not ordinary to Xiao Xu seemed to know nothing about this...

Um.

  It seems that I can share more secrets with Xiao Xu in the future.

  Young man has a hard mouth~

  So, after thinking about it, she said:

   "I can't tell you too much about the extra, I can only say that he was brought by Director Yu Zhen from your school."

"Well…"

"At first it seemed that he came here as a driver, and then he sat there to listen that night, he drew a few plans, and then he was seen by Director Zhang. Later, Director Zhang one afternoon... what date was it? I forgot I remember it was Monday. At noon on Monday, Director Yu Zhen called him and asked him to come. At that time, Director Zhang was looking for him. I remember that it was after three o’clock when he arrived, and Director Zhang directly took the I asked him to explain his sketches, and the plan he said was approved by many people, and Director Zhang made an exception for him to join the job."

"…on Monday?"

  Suddenly, Yang Mi was taken aback.

  Wei Lanfang nodded:

   "Yes, Monday. It seems to be the tenth day? I can't remember."

   But she didn't realize that Yang Mi's claws were numb.

   To mention other days, maybe she doesn't have much memory yet.

   But "Monday", she remembers it very clearly recently.

  The first Monday of this month is March 6th.

   Waking of Insects.

  I had a full-day class that day, and the "Film and Television Theory" class in the afternoon was taught by several departments together.

  Xu Xin is also there.

  So definitely remove it.

   And the second Monday is the 13th.

On that day, she intercepted Xu Xin who was about to leave the school at noon, and dragged herself to the photo studio to get photos. After finishing her work, she went to Xu Xin... but the other party suddenly said that she was going to do business with Teacher Yu, and then there were more A "secret".

  And it was from then on until I met him in Hengdian.

  In the past ten days, he was always busy.

   That is to say, everything started from Monday the 13th!

   That is to say...

   "Sister Wei, is it number 13?"

"ah?"

   Wei Lanfang thought for a while, and suddenly realized:

   "Yes, yes, on the 13th. Director Zhang suddenly returned to Yanjing on the 11th. Indeed, it was the 13th."

   "..."

  Yang Mi suddenly shook her body...

  A surge of blood pressure rushed straight to Tianling Gai.

"…What happened to you?"

   Wei Lanfang hurriedly asked.

  Because the other party didn't know why, his face suddenly turned red, but immediately turned pale again.

   Then there was a wry smile:

   "It's okay...no...it's okay..."

   "???"

   Wei Lanfang was a little curious, but now Jay Chou had already put on a silver armor. As soon as she came out of the tent, she immediately hooked her soul away:

   "Hey, Jay Chou, look!"

"Well…"

  My mind is full of the intricacies of "I almost delayed him" intertwined with emotion and guilt. After hearing this, Yang Mi glanced at the little-eyed Heavenly King in armor...

  For some reason, I lost all interest in it.

  At this moment, her eyes were extremely dull, because a thought appeared in her heart... filled with guilt and speechlessness, but more of a moving thought.

  Are you stupid! Director Zhang is looking for you, why do you care about my life? Let's go see Director Zhang first...

  Are you stupid!

  Are you stupid~~

   Annoying!

  What if I delay you!

  …

   "It's probably like this, Director Zhang."

   It was dark.

  Xu Xin, who was fighting at night with the lights on, took out a sketch.

  On the sketch, above the high-rise buildings and the bird's nest, the footprints composed of dots of fireworks are running in the void step by step.

   Come alive.

   After getting it in front of Zhang Yimou, he looked into the corner with some dazzled drawing.

  The girl with her schoolbag on her lap looked at him with complicated eyes.

   "?"

  Why this expression?

  He was a little puzzled, but he didn't care, but turned around and said:

"But while I was drawing, I thought about it... I always felt that footprints are really appropriate... Think about it, focus on a long lens, and bang, big footprints are lifted into the sky, a total of 29... across the night sky of the ancient city of Yanjing .These 29 footprints represent the inheritance of the Olympic spirit and the history of this peaceful event that wants to replace war. It is not a torch, but its inheritance significance must be higher than the torch!"

   "..."

  Zhang Yimou didn't speak.

   Just looking at this picture, his brows were twisted into a twist.

  Xu Xin didn't say anything, just lit a cigarette.

   Logically speaking, smoking is not allowed in this place...but there is no ghost at the moment.

  Trade with confidence.

  With the effort of a cigarette, Zhang Yimou gathered up the drawing paper and handed it to Xu Xin again.

   "It's almost over here, we'll have a meeting later."

"clear."

   "...Xiao Xu."

"ah?"

   "Good job!"

   "Then... the role of my classmate and Jay Chou's 100 autographs..."

   "No...huh?"

  Suddenly, Zhang Yimou was taken aback.

   As if he didn't hear clearly, he looked at the young man in front of him:

   "What the hell? What what signature?"

  Xu Xin Yile...

"hey-hey."

  Pointing at Wei Lanfang and Yang Mi:

   "You don't know yet, do you? Sister Wei and Director Ma, the three of us, blocked Jay Chou down there that night. Director Ma has already bought 100 CDs...just waiting for you to speak..."

   "..."

  Zhang Yimou was speechless for a moment.

   Staring straight at the direction Xu Xin pointed.

  Yang Mi thought she was looking at herself, and subconsciously stood up cautiously.

   But he didn't know it, Director Zhang stared at Wei Lanfang with ridiculous eyes...

   "Forget about Xiao Wei, why are you and Ma Wen joining in the fun?"

   "...Director Ma also likes Jay Chou."

   "What about you? Why are you joining in the fun?"

   "These two sisters like them, I have to like them, rushing ducks to the shelves, forcing me to come to you and say..."

   "..."

  Zhang Yimou was speechless.

   Completely speechless.

  I asked you to do the Olympics, and you came to chase my stars?

   It’s okay if it’s one or two.

   There is no need to nod, for the sake of a crew, the other party will not refuse.

  Can you get a hundred sheets at a time?

   No wonder you asked me to tell...

   "You young men... alas."

  Zhang Yimou looked helpless.

  …

  At 8:30, all posters and test shots were over.

  Everyone packed up their things and prepared to leave.

   But what touched Yang Mi the most was actually the box lunch in the crew...

  Although she dare not say that she eats crew lunches every day, there are so many crews from small to large, and there are eighty if not a hundred kinds of box lunches.

  It was past six o'clock, and the film crew delivered a boxed lunch.

   Of course she has a share.

   But that boxed lunch is obviously different from ordinary boxed lunches...

  The other box lunches are the very common foam boxes, one box of lunch and one box of vegetables per person, and a chicken leg at most.

  But the crew lunch box of "The Golden Flower" is that kind of square box.

   It's like a light meal sold in the city.

  Two meat and two vegetables.

   It’s not a chicken leg with any hair left on the skin that hasn’t been cleaned. One of the two meats is braised pork and the other is braised octopus.

   One of the two vegetarian dishes is roasted vegetables and the other is roasted tofu.

   Not to mention the food, there is also a bucket of bone soup delivered with the lunch box.

  Whoever wants to drink will take a disposable cup to serve it.

   When Yang Mi went to serve it, she found that there were bones and flesh underneath...

  The amount is really not small.

   Really rich.

   She was a little emotional.

  Compared with this, the food of "The Condor Crew" is like a heaven and a world.

   But Xu Xin didn't eat dinner.

  By the time he finished painting, it was already dark.

  Yang Mi originally said to leave a box for him, but Wei Lanfang didn't let her go at all.

   Instead, I asked after I went over, and got the answer of "don't eat".

   It's 9 o'clock soon.

  The crew is finally preparing to return from the film and television city.

   Then, Zhang Yimou said something special to Wei Lanfang:

   "Let Xiao Xu and that classmate Yang get into my car."

  So, Yang Mi tremblingly boarded Zhang Yimou's car.

  She is on the left in the last row, Xu Xin sits in the middle, and Wei Lanfang sits on the right.

   In front are still Cheng Xiaodong and Zhang Yimou.

   Along the way, Yang Mi didn't dare to speak, she seemed extremely nervous.

  At the same time, I dare not say that my back hurts...

   Burning pain.

   can only choose to endure.

   And he didn't dare to stick his back against the back seat, so he could only bow his waist.

   Xu Xin seemed a little tired. After getting into the car, he leaned back on the back seat and closed his eyes.

  Then, when the car was on the rickety road, Yang Mi suddenly felt her shoulders sink.

   Xu Xin, who was asleep, turned his head to this side for some reason.

   "..."

  She froze first.

   But immediately relaxed.

   Pursing his lips, he pressed his back against the seat in the dark.

  It hurts.

  But I can bear it.

   Then she asked about a smell that didn't belong to her.

  It smells good...and she feels very happy in her heart.

   It wasn't because Xu Xin was leaning on his shoulder... To be honest, this feeling of being pressed on the shoulder plus the burning pain in the back must be uncomfortable.

  She was happy because the car directed by Zhang Yimou was an old version of the Ford RV. She had ridden in the new model once. Although it can be stowed, it is definitely not as comfortable as two people sitting for three people.

   She is happy with this.

  At least... the three of them are not uncomfortable sitting in this old version of the car.

  The vehicle continued on the dark road.

  In another car, Jay Chou and his manager Zhao Shaowei frowned at the same time.

  Zhao Shaowei turned his head to look at the fat girl with glasses, frowned and asked:

   "Dani, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

  The fat girl named Dani shook her head:

"Brother Shaowei, it's not that I didn't mention it, it's... indeed, Ah Zheng and the others came here according to the company's instructions. Brother JAY came to the mainland this time to star in Director Zhang's movie, and he has a lot of topics. For better Protect him, that's what Brother Jun Rong said~ He was saying that this person really had nothing to prove his identity at that time..."

   "Danny!"

   Zhao Shaowei directly interrupted her words, ignored Jay Chou, and said to her seriously:

   "You have to remember, you are JAY's assistant first, and then you are the staff of the company, understand?"

"But…"

  Da Ni naturally understands this truth, but she still wants to say something.

   And at this moment, Jay Chou said:

   "It's okay, little Viagra."

  Zhao Shaowei was taken aback for a moment, thinking he didn't care, so he said quickly:

   "JAY, don't take it seriously. You saw it at the scene today, the relationship between this person and director Zhang Yimou..."

   "I know. But I think since it was a misunderstanding... then it's good to let it go~ It's our fault, so let's apologize."

  Recalling that chic fadeaway jumper, Jay Chou shook his head:

   "It's okay, I will find an opportunity to talk to him. Don't blame Dani for this... But, Dani."

  He turned to the other side again:

"What Brother Shaowei said is right. We are still newcomers in the film industry. We can't develop that kind of... arrogance, right? That's the Olympics, and the people who can be selected there must be very powerful people, so We have to learn humility. This applies to both strangers and fans. Got it?"

  Don't look at Dani's dissatisfaction with Zhao Shaowei, because the two parties are in a cooperative relationship, and she is a staff member of Alpha Company.

  But when Jay Chou spoke, she must listen:

   "...Understood, Brother JAY."

   "Well, Young Viagra, Dani, I have already mentioned her, I know what you mean, we will definitely get in touch in the past few months, believe me, I will tell him when the time comes~"

  He gave each of them a step.

   Then he took things on himself.

   And Zhao Shaowei obviously knows his style... so there is still some worry in his eyes.

  He is Jay Chou's agent in mainland China. Although he dare not say that he is very familiar with the film and television industry, he still has a basic understanding. Hearing this, although he can believe that Jay Chou can handle it well... But he is more worried that his subordinates will have trouble.

  Because these people were sent directly from Wanwan Province.

  Actually, according to common sense, there is no need to be so troublesome, and the security personnel can also prepare on his side.

  But there is a secret that others don't know much about.

  That is the current Alpha parent company... It is no longer the Alpha company founded by Wu Zhongxian.

  In 2002, Wu Zhongxian sold Alpha Company, which owns Jay Chou, to Haoledi Group for 300 million Taiwan dollars (about 60 million yuan).

  Leaving aside the matter of Wu Zhongxian and Jay Chou, Jay Chou is now facing a very important decision, that is, his contract with Alpha is only 7 years.

  2000, to 2007.

   In other words, next year, his contract is about to expire.

And in these six years, Jay Chou has one album a year, and won countless awards, and his popularity has begun to change from "Little Heavenly King" to "Heavenly King". He has huge popularity and fans in the entire dynasty. Base.

  The expiration of his contract is a very sensitive implementation.

   It is not even an exaggeration to say that as early as three years ago, someone had already contacted him.

  Since this year, Alpha's parent company has been wanting to renew his contract.

  However... from the time when Bole met his mentor, Bole made a rapid rise... to once sold 300 million as a "gift"...

   Whether some people or things are good, this young man who doesn't talk much on weekdays can understand it very well.

   Therefore, he has always adopted an evasive attitude towards the issue of contract renewal.

  But it was because of this attitude that all the staff at Alpha Company became nervous.

   Even published an order in the newspaper, telling everyone that "Jay Chou's contract is still with us, any company that contacts him is illegal, and they will pursue legal responsibility."

   But what's the use?

  Pursuing legal responsibility?

  How much can I be fined?

   Is there money that Jay Chou can't make back?

   It is precisely because of this that Alpha simply replaced everyone in Jay Chou's team with his own staff this time.

  Even if it wasn’t that I was the mainland agent company that signed the actor contract with director Zhang Yimou’s crew, then I might not even be there this time, but I would directly replace it with someone from Alpha Company.

  What are they going to do?

  The answer is simple.

   Block all the possibilities of Jay Chou meeting other people.

  Especially in some brokerage companies.

  Strictly guard against dead defense.

  Even Dani, who had followed him not long after her debut, was ordered to die by the company.

  That's why he said "You are Jay Chou's assistant first, and then you are from Alpha Company".

   Zhao Shaowei doesn't care whether Jay Chou will renew his contract with Alpha's parent company.

  Because there are still three or four years left in the contract between my company and the other party.

  In the past few years of contact, he found that the other party is actually a very smart and very affectionate person.

  Rather than the employment relationship between artists and managers, becoming friends is a more long-term development.

  So all his plans are for Jay Chou.

   But this time...

  He couldn't reach out.

   Even made insinuations about what the other party thought about the contract extension.

pity…

   Facing him, the other party also kept silent.

   If he doesn't talk, no one dares to force him.

  Things froze here.

  Then a group of sloppy people are like guarding against thieves every day, guarding against everyone...

   No, when I first joined the crew, something went wrong.

  Offended a young man whose origin is unclear but who seems to be very close to Director Zhang...

  And now, Jay Chou took the initiative to take the matter on himself.

   Then what else can he say?

  Whether helpless or worried.

  Since he had spoken, Zhao Shaowei himself could only nod his head:

"Oh well."

"Um."

   Jay Chou nodded, closed his eyes, and put on his earphones.
