I'm a Director, I'm Not Bad Chapter 145

  Chapter 145 143. The situation is not as good as before

  Finally, Guo Caijie still did not change the song.

   In order to show his magnanimity, Jay Chou "forced" her to finish the song.

   But I have to admit... This girl really has the same voice as Sun Yanzi.

   But she is less melancholy than Sun Yanzi, but more clean.

  Like a little girl.

  After listening to the second song, Jay Chou was already interested, and began to make a deep voice of "sentence~~".

  Xu Xin still didn't understand what was going on, but after seeing Guo Caijie over there, she also let out a "sentence~~~", but the tone was brighter than Jay Chou's.

   Then, Jay Chou brightened up on Guo Caijie's foundation:

   "Sentence~~~~"

   "Sentence~~~~~~"

   "Sentence~~~~~~~~"

   "Sentence~~~~~~~~~~"

   It wasn't until Xu Xin heard a falsetto "句~~~~~" that he realized it belatedly. The two of them seemed to be testing whose voice was higher.

   And when the experiment was over, Jay Chou asked a lot of questions.

  For example, do you read notation, have you ever learned vocal music, etc.

  The girls answered fluently.

  Finally, he nodded:

   "Danny, give her the phone. Today's matter is confidential. I will have a lawyer contact you in the next few days and help you terminate the contract... Will you follow me?"

  The moment Xu Xin heard this, Xu Xin knew...

  It's done.

   "Xu Xiansen! Thank you! Thank you for giving me this opportunity! Thank you!"

  At the door, the girl with the guitar on her back bowed and thanked her with eyes full of gratitude.

  She knows too well what a change has taken place in her life.

   also very clear, who brought all this.

   It was the mysterious person in front of him who gave him a second chance when he was standing still.

  Girls don't know what to use to express their inner gratitude.

  The only thing that can be done is this deep bow, expressing the simplest emotions.

"fine."

  Xu Xin smiled and shook his head:

   "Today's matter only needs to be kept confidential, and then wait for the lawyer to contact you in the next two days to help you terminate the contract, remember?"

"…Um!"

   "Okay, let's go back earlier, do I need to see you off?"

   "No, no, no, no, no."

   "Well, okay...then go back and be safe."

   "...is~"

  The girl glanced at him blankly, nodded, turned and left with the guitar on her back.

  The door closes.

  As soon as Xu Xin turned his head, he saw his girlfriend looking at him with a smile.

"…What's the matter?"

  Yang Mi didn't speak first, but looked him up and down, then said with a smile:

   "It's okay. Star scout, do you want to dig me?"

   "Dig you what?"

   "Singing talent, I can sing too, okay?"

   "Okay... let's go, let him write a song for you."

   "Hee hee~"

  In the middle of the night, everyone ate and drank, and all woke up.

  He simply gathered in the living room and watched Wan Wan's late-night TV series to chat.

  Three women play a show, and the three of them get together and watch variety shows and gossip.

  Xu Xin and Jay Chou were talking about movies there.

   In two or three hours, everyone will leave for Taipei, where they will go to the Taipei Film and Culture City to see the shooting scene in the interior studio.

   And waited until 5 o'clock in the morning, almost 6 o'clock.

  When everyone was about to leave, they suddenly found a person standing outside the door.

   "...Sister Zeng!?"

  Yang Mi was stunned, looking at Zeng Jia who was wrapped in a coat and standing outside the house, she looked surprised:

   "Why are you here? How long have you been here, why didn't you notify me, it's so cold!"

   "...I haven't been here long."

   Zeng Jia shook his head first:

   "I got up late yesterday and didn't come with you, so I came here early today."

"Well…"

  Hearing her words, Yang Mi was both moved and guilty:

   "Oh, why don't you just call me next time? I didn't want you to wake up so early yesterday. I woke up early today..."

   Zeng Jia also seemed a little speechless, but didn't say much, just nodded:

   "Um...going?"

   "Yes, let's go to Taichung to see the interior scene, and then fly back directly."

"good."

   Zeng Jia nodded, glanced at Xu Xin and Jay Chou again, and got into the commercial vehicle together.

   Dani was still driving, with Yang Mi and Zeng Jia sitting behind.

  As soon as I got in the car, Zeng Jia said:

   "On Christmas Day, the company will hold a Christmas reception. Everyone will come back. Remember to attend."

"ah?"

  Yang Mi quickly took out her phone to look through the calendar.

  After finding out that Christmas day happens to be Monday, nod:

"OK."

  Since Christmas Day is Monday, the boyfriend must go to work. And what the two of them should spend Christmas is Sunday, Christmas Eve.

   Just can be staggered.

   I recorded this incident in the notepad of my mobile phone, and after setting a reminder, the car returned to calm.

   All the way from dawn to dawn, finally, everyone arrived at the Film Culture City in Taichung City.

  It is said to be a cultural city, but the actual scale is far from that of Hengdian in the Mainland.

  But Wanwan or Hong Kong and Taiwan movies are like this, because of the geographical area, they are not big. But... the movies in these two places set off the prosperity of the golden age of Asian movies.

   When we got to the film and television city, Jay Chou made a special disguise because of the large number of tourists, and a group of people got out of the car to watch.

   There are actually not many secret interior scenes that cannot be said. One is Ye Xianglun's home, the other is Lu Xiaoyu's home, and the other is the old piano room and the venue for playing piano and singing and dancing.

   Calculated together, there are only six or seven small rooms, all concentrated in a medium-sized video studio that has been rented.

  As for the layout, it was also designed by Jay Chou according to his own memory and understanding after Xu Xin provided the cutting angle of the sub-camera.

   At first glance, it has that kind of European classical style.

  The studio is still being set up, but some big things, such as the piano, are ready.

  Everyone stayed here all morning, and Xu Xin repeatedly communicated with the prop designer and others who rushed over. After finally confirming many details, the time is almost up.

  At the same time, they also waited for the two friends of Dani who had been with Yang Mi all day yesterday.

  They also came here with their suitcases, and this time they will go to Yanjing with them, so that the girls can immerse themselves in this "Wan Wan accent" and quickly master this kind of speaking skills and methods.

   At 3 p.m., after a brief farewell, Xu Xin agreed to meet next week, and the group set foot on the way home.

   It is still first class.

   Still sitting apart.

   It's just that this time it's even more exaggerated, because of the addition of two newcomers, Xu Xin was simply squeezed out of sight.

  The plane arrived in Shanghai around 6:00 pm.

   Then, Yang Mi and the others left directly, but Xu Xin walked into the transfer room of the plane alone.

   "Golden Armor" will be publicized in Hangzhou tomorrow, and he has to go back to work.

   After arriving home at 11:00 p.m., Xu Xin called to report that he was safe, and then drove back home. After a comfortable sleep, Monday came and he started a new round of work.

  Noon on December 13th.

  Xu Xin rushed to Xiehe Hospital and saw Jay Chou lying motionless on the hospital bed in the private room.

  He paused, but returned to normal immediately.

  Looking at Jay Chou who was lying on the hospital bed smiling at him, he said angrily:

   "Let's go, play ball?"

  The original smile turned into embarrassment.

  Ankylosing spondylitis.

   Jay Chou's genetic disease.

   There is no need to go into details about the illness. You only need to look at him lying on a special hospital bed, struggling to move, and you will know how terrible this illness is.

  In the past few years, his disease has been well controlled.

   But man... forget the pain when the scar is healed.

  When Mingming was in Hengdian, before each game, Xu Xin could occasionally see him swallowing pills.

  It is a special drug to prevent the recurrence of spinal inflammation.

  But yesterday he went to play with his friends, and he didn't know whether he didn't take the medicine or he moved too much. This morning he felt back pain, so he quickly took the medicine. But I didn't expect that I was fine on the plane, and I was taken to the hospital directly after getting off the plane.

   This disease is known as "undead cancer", and there is basically no possibility of cure.

  Xu Xin had only heard Jay Chou say it before, but now seeing his virtue of not being able to move everything from the neck down when he was ill, he still felt angry.

  That's why I made such a sentence.

   But looking at his embarrassing appearance, Xu Xin lost interest in continuing to tease him, and instead asked:

   "What did the doctor say?"

   "Hang on the water~ Don't worry, you will be able to go on stage in a maximum of half a day. Then go back to sleep tonight, and you will be fine tomorrow. It's an old problem. I get used to it over and over again."

   "...Can you still be on stage today?"

  Tonight at 8 o'clock is the premiere of "The Golden Armor in the City".

  The kind broadcast live by Phoenix Satellite TV.

  A lot of big names were invited, and even the host invited He Jiong, Guo Degang, Wu Zhongxian, Tao Jingying and other celebrities from Movie Channel, Phoenix Satellite TV, and Hunan TV.

  Besides, because of the popularity of Wu Zhongxian and Guo Degang, the media is still hyping to see who is the "famous talker" between Guo Degang and Wu Zhongxian in the past two days.

  The noise is bigger than the paper.

   Except for Gong Li, who was beaten to death and did not share the same stage with Zhang Weiping, and Zhou Renfa, who was filming "Aunt's Postmodern Life" outside, all other actors and supporting roles appeared. Even from his girlfriend, Xu Xin knew that not only the big names were invited this time, but Li Lianjie, who had been in Hollywood all along, was invited to come to the platform, and he used the popularity of "Hero" to create momentum.

   It is not too much to say that a premiere ceremony is half of the entertainment industry.

  So, in this case, Jay Chou will definitely be on stage.

   But knowing it all, Xu Xin sighed helplessly when he heard that he was going to take the stage:

   "Oh...you still want to sing "Chrysanthemum Terrace"?"

   "Sure."

   "...tsk."

   Not knowing what to say, Xu Xin glanced at his watch and nodded:

   "Okay, where are you going to stay tonight? Go to my place?"

   "No, I have to come back after attending the premiere, I need to rectify on this bed, I will go back tomorrow, I have to deal with Jewell's affairs."

   "...tsk. So busy~"

  Hearing his emotion, Jay Chou smiled and asked:

   "Where's Mimi? Are you two attending together tonight?"

"Isn't this nonsense? If we show up together, then it won't be a frying pan? She went to try on the dress, and I have to go back to the Olympic Building in a while. Take care of her for me at night. Did you hear that there are a lot of people coming tonight, If she is confused, you should remind her."

   "...Shall I remind her? It's fine if she doesn't remind me."

   During this period of publicity contact, I have fully understood the state of the other party's ease when facing the reporter... Jay Chou rolled his eyes speechlessly:

"Can't you see how much the media likes her? I still choke on some reporters' questions. The last time I was asked about Patty, she helped me out... Come on, you are showing off that you have a Talking girlfriend?"

   "Yes..."

  Xu Xin shrugged:

   "But there are not only the media tonight, but also the so-called celebrities. You still have to pay attention."

   "Well, leave it to me."

   "Um... OK, then I'll go."

"…ha?"

  Although his neck couldn't move, Jay Chou still expressed his shock with a distorted expression on his face:

   "Are you here for three minutes?"

   "No way... I haven't eaten yet. After work, I knew you were in the hospital, so I hurried over here. Now I'm going to eat. After eating, it's almost time, so I have to go back to work."

   "...Please, can you be less sincere?"

   "Aren't you paralyzed?"

  Xu Xin rolled his eyes, and while Jay Chou gritted his teeth saying "Thank you to your family", he waved his hand to Dani:

   "Call me anytime you need it, Dani, I'm leaving."

   "Okay, Brother Xu."

   Come like a gust of wind.

   Go like a gust of wind.

  Come here and ask about the warmth...that's too contrived.

   4:30 p.m.

  Yang Mi, who had finished her makeup, brought Zeng Jia and Sun Ting, who was carrying two dresses, to studio No. 4 of Yanjing Film Studio.

  Tonight's premiere is here.

  When she arrived here, the backstage was already busy.

  Tonight's theme is to show the court atmosphere, so I found some extras to play palace ladies and eunuchs.

  Yang Mi's arrival made many group performers who had nowhere to go and could only squat or sit in the corridor stand up nervously.

   Seeing this, Yang Mi paused...

  This scene...

  She thought for a while, and politely nodded to the group performers closest to her:

   "Hello, thank you for your hard work."

  The group performers were taken aback.

   Obviously did not expect that "Jiang Chan" would greet them.

   I was a little cramped for a while.

  But Yang Mi didn't give them a chance to think about it, and led the two of them to move on.

   Walked all the way, said hello all the way, and finally came to the waiting room and walked in.

  Leaving a group of male and female extras looking at each other.

  But Zeng Jia was thoughtful after entering the room.

   Seeing this, Yang Mi asked curiously:

   "Sister Zeng, what's the matter?"

   "Mimi, do you remember that I mentioned to you a TV series called "Youth Going Going"?"

"Well…"

  Hearing what Zeng Jia said, Yang Mi thought for a while and said:

   "I remember you mentioned that you wanted to sign an artist before, the actor here, right? I haven't seen it, but I remember you mentioned it."

"right."

   Zeng Jia responded:

   "My name is Cao Lei, and I played Populus euphratica in this drama. To show my sincerity, I stayed with him on the set for a few days...Unfortunately, I didn't sign the contract in the end."

   "Hmm...why did you mention this all of a sudden? Isn't that movie not released yet?"

   "In the ensemble performances just now, I saw an actor named Shen Teng who played Chang Heping in that play."

   Zeng Jia showed a sigh of impermanence:

"Graduated from Jiefang Art Academy. It is said that he was also a school-level figure when he graduated. He had a good relationship with Cao Lei at the time, and the play was also very good. At that time, he said a few good words for me. But just now when these people I actually saw him here... oh."

   This long sigh expressed the other party's feelings about why they were confused like this, or the impermanence of the world.

  She shook her head slightly:

   "I didn't expect that he could only act in the group."

"Well…"

  Yang Mi blinked her eyes, she obviously didn't expect that there was such a story in the extras just now.

but…

   "Sister Zeng, don't underestimate today's group performance."

  Sitting on the sofa, the girl corrected her manager's thinking:

"Today's ensemble cast is not something anyone can do if they want to. I heard from Xu Xin that these people also worked hard to get in. This is Director Zhang's movie, and it's the world premiere , there are so many celebrities, big names, directors, screenwriters, etc... The people who come tonight are not simple people. It is very rare for an actor to show his face under this kind of opportunity. I heard that they are fighting fiercely .”

"Well…"

   Zeng Jia was taken aback for a moment, and after careful consideration, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

  But the truth is the truth... But seeing people who could play roles in the early years, they can only sit in the corridor as a group performer here... She is still full of emotion.

   But at this moment, the girl suddenly said:

   "Tingting, go out with a bottle of mineral water and give them a point."

"Well…"

  Sun Ting nodded quickly:

   "Okay, sister."

  Carefully hanging the dress aside, she walked to the two boxes of mineral water piled up in the corner of the waiting room, picked up one box and walked out.

  Because she was the first crew member to come.

   Everyone pays attention to the movement here.

  As soon as the door opened, many extra performers stood up. And when they saw Sun Ting walking out with some difficulty carrying mineral water, they still didn't understand what was going on.

   And Sun Ting took it out and walked a few steps, came to some girls in the group, and said to the big guy:

   "This is the water that Sister Mimi gave everyone. You have worked hard, come and get it yourself."

  The extras were stunned...

  In his eyes, there was a more unexpected accident than the previous accident.

   While hesitating whether to take it or not, Zeng Jia came out.

   Eyes locked on a person:

   "Shen Teng, come drink some water."

   she said.

   Several male co-stars subconsciously looked at an actor standing in the back row for some reason.

  The actor named Shen Teng showed embarrassment, but he came to the front step by step and said hello:

   "Zeng Ji, long time no see."

  As soon as he spoke, he spoke with a northeast accent.

  The two are about the same age, so there is no such thing as brother or sister.

   At least not yet...

"Um."

   Zeng Jia nodded, opened the plastic film of the mineral water herself, took out a bottle of water and handed it to him:

   "What a coincidence, I can meet you here."

"…Ah ha ha."

  Shen Teng's face was still full of embarrassment.

   Obviously...

  Meeting at such a time proves that I am not doing well.

   It's impossible not to be embarrassed.

   At this moment, suddenly, Sun Ting's eyes narrowed, and she quickly whispered to Zeng Jia:

   "Sister Zeng, Director Zhang's first assistant is here."

   Zeng Jia was taken aback, and looked at the entrance of the corridor with Shen Teng.

   Sure enough, Assistant Shen was holding a document in his hand to read it again, and while reading it, he lowered his head and walked this way.

   Without thinking about it, Zeng Jia whispered:

   "Notify Mimi."

"OK."

  Sun Ting hurried into the room, while Shen Teng retreated silently.

   Zeng Jia didn't say anything, and Yang Mi had already left the house.

   Originally planned to wait for Assistant Shen to walk in before she greeted with a smile, but who knew that Assistant Shen would not leave after walking in front of these group performers, and asked directly:

   "Which of you has better lines? Actor."

  All the male actors were taken aback for a moment, and then an uncontrollable joy appeared on their faces:

   "Director, I, I have acted in drama roles..."

   "I, I, the director..."

"I…"

   A group of people raised their hands instantly. And Shen Teng, who walked next to Zeng Jia just now, subconsciously wanted to open his mouth...but just as he opened his mouth, he closed it again.

   As soon as he came, he had lost his "position".

  Secondly... At any rate, he is an acquaintance here. In front of an acquaintance, he is so eager to fight...

   Self-esteem is really not allowed.

  So I can only keep silent with eyes full of regret.

  The actresses looked envious.

   At this time, Yang Mi also came out, and just heard Assistant Shen's words.

   Turning his head, he glanced at the group of male actors vying for the first place, and then his eyes fell on Shen Teng who was standing next to Zeng Jia.

   Eye rolls...

   "Director Shen~"

  As soon as Assistant Shen raised his head and saw that it was Yang Mi, he was taken aback for a moment, then a friendly smile appeared on his face, and he walked over quickly:

   "Mimi, why are you here so early?"

   "Hey, I just came too."

   "Well, where is Xiao Xu?"

   "I didn't come, I'm still at work."

  As long as the two of them don't point out, then these people don't know who "Xiao Xu" is, so they don't have any scruples.

   Assistant Shen was a little surprised:

   "Aren't you coming tonight?"

   "Don't come, isn't it very busy over there?"

   "Oh~~~"

   Assistant Shen nodded, and then looked at Zeng Jia and Sun Ting.

  Yang Mi also said appropriately:

   "Zeng Jia, my manager, Sun Ting, my assistant."

   "Hello, Director Shen."

  Although he is only Zhang Yimou's assistant, Zeng Jia dare not neglect him.

   Reach out quickly.

   Assistant Shen was also very face-saving, nodded with a smile, shook hands, and said:

   "Okay, then you guys get ready first, I just happen to have some work to find these group performers..."

   "Director Shen, he is my senior brother, named Shen Teng. Like Director Zhang, he came from the Liberation Academy."

   Before Assistant Shen finished speaking, Yang Mi suddenly pointed at Shen Teng.

   Zeng Jia, Assistant Shen, and Shen Teng were all stunned.

   After Shen Teng was stunned, it was replaced by surprise and gratitude.

  As for Assistant Shen, he glanced at Shen Teng immediately.

  Then turned to Yang Mi and asked:

   "Is...that Director Zhang?"

"right."

  Yang Mi nodded.

  The two completed the information exchange in an instant.

   Didn't even point out which "Director Zhang" this "Director Zhang" is.

   Assistant Shen, who had already understood, nodded:

   "That's it... come on, look here."

  He handed the notebook to Shen Teng:

   "You read this sentence, I will listen to it."

   "Hey, good~"

   Shen Teng, who was in a too late mood at the moment, looked at the workflow book handed over, and after receiving it with both hands, the handwriting that said "opening" came into view.

   After watching for about ten seconds, he suddenly coughed lightly:

   "Ahem."

   Then, a high-pitched but very thin chant sounded like a eunuch:

   "Heaven~Earth~To Harmony!"

   "Hengchang Get Rich!"

   "Premiere! Screening! Open~~~Start~"

  After reading, Assistant Shen nodded directly:

   "Well, not bad...Then you come with me and go to make up. The premiere opens tonight, and you bring other people to go up first. After reading this line, it's the end. Do you understand?"

  Shen Teng's eyes flashed with ecstasy, then nodded:

"understand!"

   "Well... Mimi, let's go first, and I'll take him to a makeup artist. Do you need anything here?"

   "No, no, just guide Shen."

   "Well, okay, let's talk later."

   "Hey, okay~"

  Smiling farewell to Assistant Shen who took Shen Teng away.

  Looking at Sister Zeng's eyes full of surprise, deep thought, and a kind of... inexplicable light, the girl didn't speak, and went straight back to the waiting room.

   And Zeng Jia and Sun Ting walked back to the waiting room together without saying a word after glancing at the group performers showing various emotions.

  The door is closed.

  As if she had done a trivial matter, the girl never mentioned what happened just now, but picked up her mobile phone, edited the matter into content, and sent it to her boyfriend.

  She doesn't know whether to use it or not.

  But I took the wrong luggage for my boyfriend, and the subsequent dinner with Director Zhang and Director Shang.

  She thinks...Director Zhang Wu should have that kind of nostalgic and caring friendship for his subordinates.

   And as a junior from the same academy...

  Although she didn't know whether her boyfriend would say it...but if there was a chance, then her boyfriend would have an extra chance to increase his favor.

  Anyway, it's all about doing it smoothly, and going with the situation.

   One more word of mouth.

   Maybe it will be useful in the future.

Right?
