I'm a Director, I'm Not Bad Chapter 319

  Chapter 319 317. Grandmaster (33) Thanks to the leader of "Lucky Knight"!

   July 12th.

   "The Wind" is released.

  The total box office is 331 million.

  With a total investment of 45 million, it took a box office of 330 million.

   Net profit exceeded 120 million.

   Xiying Studio ushered in a "good start" in 2009!

   Also set a standard template for all the following gift films.

With this movie, Xiying Studio became famous and announced on the day "The Wind" was released that the TV series "Legend of the Wind" also based on the novel "The Wind" with the same name has entered the preparatory stage, and the series will be more detailed. The story is presented to the audience completely and completely.

   As soon as the words came out, many actors who had already felt the vitality of this old film studio were moved by the wind and quickly gathered towards the West Film Studio.

  Everyone in the factory was even in a trance.

   In a trance, it seems to have returned to the glory days of the past.

  The cumulative box office of the two works has exceeded 500 million, and the director Xu Xin, who has an astonishingly high return ratio, has also become the target of some investors.

Unfortunately…

  Although I entrusted my relationship to make inquiries, I got Xu Xin's phone number.

  But the assistant named Zhang Jiao always answered that sentence:

   "Before the child was born, Director Xu had no plans to prepare a new movie."

  Think about it too...

  Yang Mi seems to be giving birth soon.

  Although I haven't seen much news about her recently, she lives in seclusion.

   But it is true, it should be about to give birth.

  The man didn't move much, so it was normal.

  The child is about to be born, and it would be irresponsible to go to a new job without stopping.

  Yanjing, Shijia Hutong.

   "Let's forget about milk powder. This thing...I always feel a little suspenseful..."

  Throwing away a quotation contract for baby milk powder, Yang Mi looked at the only two endorsement quotations left on the table.

   First picked up a copy:

   "Mengniu...Yili...Brother, which one do you think we should choose?"

  Sitting in front of the tea table, he was fiddling with a new purple sand tea set. After hearing this, Xu Xin thought for a while:

   "Which do you like to drink?"

   "I would like to drink Yili. I have a crush on Yili. I think the most delicious ice cream is Yili four circles..."

   "Isn't Mengniu delicious?"

   "It's not tasty, it tastes rattling."

   "Well...then choose Yili. How much does Yili pay?"

"Mengniu gave 22 million, and Yili gave 18 million, both of which are two-year contracts. But Yili has two plans. I am 1800, plus you can give 2500. "

   "...Am I worth seven million?"

  Xu Xin couldn't laugh or cry:

   "Why am I so cheap?"

   While complaining to himself, he thought for a while and said:

   "What do you think?"

"I want to choose Mengniu. Because Mengniu can also talk about the endorsement of ice cream. Although their ice cream series is not as large as Yili's, but the price is good. And their various fruity milk seems to have something to talk about...I want to give a Fee get an advertising spokesperson."

   "Okay, then Mengniu."

"Um!"

  Yang Mi responded, and threw Yili's quotation into those advertising contracts that refused to endorse. At the same time, she said to Zeng Jia next to her:

   "Sister Zeng, let's go to Mengniu. But I have to tell them that Liu Yifei wants the endorsement of Mengniu ice cream. If it's okay...we can both appear on camera."

"okay, I get it."

   Zeng Jia responded, put away the contract, and asked again:

   "Where is Yili? Yili is Zhang Shaohan now. But it's not impossible to talk, let me try to get in touch?"

   "Okay. Anyway, let's get in touch. You pay more attention to the commercial value. Let's talk about something."

"good."

   Zeng Jia nodded in response.

   "During this time, help Liu Yifei fight for something more, and tell me if there is anything unfair. In addition, Yang Ying's resources are suppressed, let her go to acting training classes."

"good."

   "After Baozi signed the contract after a while, he took her and Lin Gou directly to the crew of "Legend of the Wind". It's okay to give her the script in advance, let her take care of it."

"Um."

"There's nothing else. You just need to worry more about Yifei's sister Zeng recently. Don't deliberately mention what she joined us or what she did. If anyone asks you, just say it. If no one asks, don't talk too much. You are my agent. Man, as soon as you show up with her, everyone will know what's going on. There's no need to cause unnecessary trouble at this time. "

"clear."

  Yang Mi arranged the work in an orderly manner. After all the work was arranged, Zeng Jia took out the small bag she brought:

   "Here, Mimi, I don't know what to buy for the child, so I bought some small socks, a small hat, and gloves to prevent the baby from scratching his face."

   "Oh...so cute~"

  Looking at the strawberry socks that Zeng Jia took out, the original strong woman suddenly became a precious mother.

   Nodding with a smile:

   "It's so pretty~"

   Zeng Jia smiled slightly:

   "As long as you like it... By the way, Mimi, do you know Hainan Zhouyi Film and Television?"

  Yang Mi was taken aback.

   thought for a while, and said:

   ""Water Moon Cave"?"

"right!"

  Following Zeng Jia's nod, let alone Yang Mi, even Xu Xin raised his head.

   "What happened to "Shuiyuedongtian"?"

   The name "Shuiyuedongtian" is too special for Xu Xin.

  Yin Tianxue played by Chen Farong was simply his dream lover...

  The full set of DVDs of that show is still in Shenmu, and it belongs to his collection.

   "It's not that what happened to "Shuiyuedongtian", but that there seems to be something wrong with Zhou Yi. I heard that they are fighting fiercely... Don't we want to recruit a few screenwriters... May I pay attention?"

  Hearing this, Yang Mi thought for a while and asked:

   "Have they done anything recently?"

"Yes, I'm filming Gu Long's "Seven Weapons". This is where the news came from. I heard that the various shareholders of their company are divided into two factions. One side is Zhou Ping, and the other side is Zhou Ping's wife Jiang Xuerou. I heard that they are about to It's getting to the point of divorce... Their team is good at producing ancient costume martial arts dramas, and they still use the same team from Xiangjiang, if you think it's necessary..."

  Yang Mi thought for a while, then nodded:

   "Okay, let's get in touch and have a look, especially ask about the script. If there is any good script... then let's chat."

   Zeng Jia responded:

   "Okay. Then I'll get in touch."

   "Well, thank you for your hard work, Sister Zeng."

"fine."

   Zeng Jia waved her hands and stood up:

"I'm leaving."

   "Okay~"

   Clutching the stack of socks she bought for her in her hand, Yang Mi responded with a smile.

   Now she is liking things about children more and more.

  Don't dare to wear small clothes or small shoes, they are all cute no matter how you look at them.

   Maternal love is a mess.

   After Zeng Jia left, Xu Xin said:

   "Are you interested in martial arts movies?"

   "Sure."

  Although it is difficult to move, Yang Mi's Baguazhang gesture is quite standard.

   "Actually, if allowed, I hope my next movie will be a martial arts movie. I also have a chivalrous dream, okay..."

"Jingle Bell…"

   Before the voice finished, the phone rang.

   After Yang Mi glanced at the caller, her eyes suddenly became extremely strange:

   "Ah this..."

"What's wrong?"

  Xu Xin was a little puzzled.

   "It's Brother Xu..."

   "...Xu Haofeng?"

"Um."

  Yang Mi nodded, sat down beside the coffee table, connected the phone and turned on the speakerphone:

   "Hello, Senior Brother Xu, how are you?"

   "Haha~"

  Xu Haofeng's voice sounded on the phone:

   "Hi Mi, how are you doing?"

   "It's pretty good, but it's a bit inconvenient to move around. I used to be able to stand upright, and occasionally when my body was tight, I could do two sets of air work. But now I can't do anything..."

   "That's for sure. If you're pregnant, you'll have trouble moving, and you won't be able to use your strength."

  Hearing his words, Yang Mi responded with a smile:

   "Yes...Senior Brother, what do you need from me?"

   "...Well, there is. Mimi, let me ask...you...do you have any plans for your comeback after giving birth?"

   "Is it because of the script of "The Grandmaster"?"

"right."

"Well…"

  Yang Mi thought for a while and said:

   "After my comeback, maybe within a year or two, I will make a movie about my lover. There are no other film appointments yet. Is "The Grandmaster" going to enter the preparatory stage? Has the director been chosen?"

   She hasn't forgotten that her lover loves that story.

  Anyway, this is the end of the conversation, so let's ask.

   "For the director...someone has already chosen."

"Well…"

  Hearing this answer, she looked at Xu Xin.

  Xu Xin froze for a moment, then waved his hand with a little regret.

   "Is that so... Forget it, I also said to recommend Xu Xin to try. After all, he also really likes your script, brother."

   "There is indeed a director for this one, and to tell you the truth, the director is also one of the screenwriters."

  Now Yang Mi also knows that it is basically impossible to change the director.

  So, her heart...

  How should I put it, there is no enthusiasm.

   Originally, it was because of her brother that she studied the role of "Gong Er".

  But now that I heard that the director has been selected, and my brother has a "Silence" waiting for me, I have already prepared to shirk it.

  So they greeted each other and said:

   "That's pretty good too. The brother came to me today because he wanted to..."

   "I want to recommend you to play Gong Er."

  Xu Haofeng gave the answer straightforwardly:

   "There are three screenwriters for this script, and another screenwriter recommended Zhang Ziyi. But I think you are more suitable...so I want to ask about your schedule first."

   "...Zhang Ziyi?"

  Yang Mi's eyes narrowed subconsciously.

   It's not that she doesn't like Zhang Ziyi or has any grudges.

  It's all the names related to that night... When they are mentioned, those things that happened to her will remind her of what a neglected existence she was that night.

   Similarly, that night was also the cornerstone that supported her to get to where she is today!

  The original greeting of polite refusal retreated temporarily.

  She thought for a while and said:

   "Brother, who else is in this play?"

  Xu Haofeng was silent for a while.

   seems to be hesitating, but also seems to be thinking.

   Next...

   "Because the script is still in the confidential stage, the only thing I can tell you is... the male lead in this play is Liang Chaowei, which has already been decided. The female lead is Gong Er..."

  Xu Xin also concentrated his attention now.

   "Liang Chaowei?"

   "Yes. Liang Chaowei."

   Having been confirmed, Yang Mi's eyes have already turned to her brother.

  There is only one meaning revealed in the eyes:

   "What should I do?"

  Xu Xin smiled and spread his hands.

   means she is casual.

  My own scenes are not in a hurry, I can shoot whenever I want.

   Besides...

  He also thinks that the role of Gong Er is very good.

  As for how to coordinate the relationship between work and life after the child is born... To be honest, the two of them don't have any specific plans.

  But what I think about is nothing more than four words: "to accompany each other".

  He has no intention of interrupting his wife's acting career.

   Unrealistic.

   is also too masculine.

  Seeing Xu Xin's reaction, she also had a clue in her heart, and said:

"My lover didn't say when to shoot the film...Brother, do I need to prepare for this film? When do you plan to start filming? My due date is the end of October...If it's this year...Maybe I won't be able to went."

   "The filming plan is planned to be put into the next year. But casting and so on... Actually, it has already started one after another."

"…ah?"

  Yang Mi was dumbfounded.

   "Could it be that the last video clip..."

   Now, there was a trace of guilt in Xu Haofeng's voice:

"Yes. Actually, I didn't plan it that way. I saw your performance and recommended it to the director. After I got your audition clips, the director meant to wait until the second half of the year for a comprehensive audition, including several of the intended ones. Actress together. But you suddenly got pregnant... It would be a little inappropriate to call you here. So I didn't think about it... And what I mean by calling you today is... After examining many actresses, as One of the three screenwriters, I voted for you."

   "Then I will fight with Zhang Ziyi?"

   "Well. The others have basically been rejected."

  Xu Haofeng's words made Yang Mi and Xu Xin have doubts in their eyes at the same time.

  In fact, the status of an actor and the status of a director is a very delicate relationship.

   Leaving aside the authority, let me give you the most realistic example.

   It's like a movie created by an unknown director, and a big boss invested money. And the big boss who invested money asked the heroine to be played by his Xiaomi.

  Do you think the director dares to use the big boss Xiaomi like he used the third grandson?

   And this relationship also applies to a normal crew.

  The fame and status of an actor is also one of the criteria for measuring status in the crew.

  Yang Mi will not talk about herself.

  Just say Zhang Ziyi...

   International Zhang's name is for nothing?

   Zhang Ziyi doesn't care about acting skills or not, but only about her status and the background of Hong Kong capital behind her. Wherever she goes, she always walks with a serious image and is full of fire.

  It is the existence of a group of young actors who can hold their own.

  Ordinary directors dare not say "Let Zhang Ziyi fight for" a certain role.

  That's a joke.

  Zhang Ziyi wants to act in your play... Just kidding, isn't that called condescension?

  Ordinary directors would be highly incensed to get this Buddha statue. How dare they ask her to compete with others?

  So, Xu Haofeng's words revealed a lot of information to Yang Mi and Xu Xin.

  It's so interesting.

  So Yang Mi thought about it and asked:

   "Brother... Can you tell me who the director of "The Grandmaster" is? Why do I sound so terrified?"

  But unexpectedly, Xu Haofeng hesitated for a while:

"this…"

   Then he said:

"Mimi, it's not enough. This script is in the confidential stage, and it's inconvenient to say these things. What I can tell you is that I recommended you, and another director recommended Zhang Ziyi. You two are on the same page. I was born among the actors... Although you didn't come to the audition, both the understanding of the role and the acting skills are good enough for me, and it also fits the temperament of Gong Er in my heart. But the final decision is still With the director. So I must confirm the schedule with you in advance."

  Hearing this, Yang Mi looked at Xu Xin again.

   Xu Xin, who was originally thoughtful, noticed her gaze, thought for a while, nodded, and made an "OK" gesture.

   means no problem.

   Seeing this, Yang Mi said:

   "As for the schedule, I should have no problem. Are you planning to start next year?"

"Yes. But the progress will not be too fast. After the project is approved, it will take some time to build the exterior scenes. Slow work and meticulous work, so if we really want to start shooting... Maybe it will be in the middle of the year. Or later, As long as you have time to spare, that's fine."

   "When can the choice of the role be decided?"

   "It should be the end of the year."

   "...Okay, I see. Thank you, brother, have you changed the settings of Gong Er? If not, I will think about it."

   "No. It's still the setting I sent you."

   "Well, okay! Then I'll think about it carefully...Brother, thank you!"

  Xu Haofeng's laughing voice sounded on the phone:

   "Hehehe, it's okay, it should be. After all, in my heart, you are the most suitable for this role. Be prepared, I can only do my best to help you fight for it!"

"…Thanks!"

  Yang Mi replied sincerely.

  A person who only met once, helped her fight for a role like this.

  She was also very grateful.

   Then they exchanged a few words of courtesy before hanging up the phone.

   After hanging up the phone, her first words were:

   "Brother, who do you think this person is?"

   "Let's write a few names and compare them?"

   "OK."

  Yang Mi picked up the notebook, tore off a page and handed it to him.

  The two sat opposite each other in front of the tea table.

  Xu Xin probably spent less than a minute thinking about it.

   But when Yang Mi saw him start writing, she subconsciously stretched her head to look at the paper.

  It looks like cheating on an exam and peeping at the same table doing the questions.

pity…

  Old husband and wife, Xu Xin couldn't be more familiar with her tricks.

  Cover your hands directly to the notebook...

   "cut~"

  Yang Mi smacked her mouth in dissatisfaction, then lowered her head and began to ponder by herself.

   While writing, pondering.

  After about two or three minutes, Xu Xin put down his pen:

   "I wrote it."

   "I've finished writing too... How many did you write?"

   "Three."

   “…me too three!”

   "Come on then."

  He folded his note and pressed it in his hand.

   That appearance seemed to be afraid that Yang Mi would only take her own, but not show hers to herself.

   "Virtue..."

  Close the notebook and push it in front of Xu Xin's hand:

   "Pay for it!"

   "First-hand delivery! Bring it to you~"

   Quickly took the notebook away, and Yang Mi was also afraid that he would be cheating, so she quickly took the note...

Um.

   In a sense, these two people are the same.

   Then, when Xu Xin opened the notebook and saw the first name, he showed disgust:

   "Hey~~~~Chen Kaige? What do you think? Is "The Promise" not bad enough, or do you think he can understand kung fu movies?"

  Because of the Olympic Games, although I don't deny the director's achievements and I like his "Farewell My Concubine" very much, Xu Xin really doesn't like him.

  Who knew that Yang Mi also felt the same disgust:

   "Xu Ke? Have you watched "Dragon Inn" too much?"

   And dislike it is disgusting...

  When I saw the last two names...

  Yang Mi knew that her brother wanted to go with her.

   Li Eucalyptus, Wang Jiawei.

   "Do you think it might be Li An?"

   "...I actually think Wang Jiawei is more likely."

   "Why? Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon wasn't enough?"

   "No, because of what your senior brother said: Slow work leads to careful work."

  Xu Xin shook his head slightly:

   "Think about it, when "The Grandmaster" was given to you, when was it?"

"Earlier this year."

"At the beginning of the year, I gave you a few lines. Then... it was the middle of the year, and there was no movement. And the film project was approved at the end of the year, and the set will start to be built next year, and even if you are pregnant and due date, people are not in a hurry I don't think this slow temper is like Li An's style."

  “…but it's normal for a director to spend several years preparing a work.”

   "So Li An is also included in the answer I gave you. But I think it is more like Wang Jiawei. This mysterious characteristic... and a kind of intuition, I think it is more like his style."

   "You also wrote about Wang Jiawei...why did you write about him?"

"I think these people are the only ones who dare to use Zhang Ziyi as an ordinary actor. Xu Ke... is quite commercialized. From what my senior brother said, I think this scene must be very hypocritical and twisted. Xu is not like this Style. I haven't worked with Li An and Wang Jiawei...but their status is here..."

  The two fell into silence again.

   A moment.

  Yang Mi nodded:

   "If it's really Wang Jiawei or Li An... I really want to play it. But..."

   Speaking of this, she hesitated again:

"I'm a little awkward. Think about it, I won't talk about Li An. If Wang Jiawei...he finishes filming a movie, maybe our son will go to kindergarten. He is notoriously slow...I'm thinking about me I can't afford to delay the delay. Besides... What about "Burst the Silence"? You have been preparing for this script for so long... Is it because I'm delaying?"

"Well…"

  Xu Xin thought for a while, then shook his head slightly:

   "I'll watch it then. You can't choose 100%..."

  Yang Mi's mouth twitched.

  I thank you.

  Your old man's little mouth is really smeared with honey.

  It's so sweet.

   First of all, thanks to the leader of "Lucky Knight"! Thanks to the leader of "Ragnarous"! The third watch will be delivered.

   Secondly... You see, the movie is different and spread out~ hehe~

   Finally, the leader owes more: 4 more!

   By the way, why is this account still unfinished...
