I'm a Director, I'm Not Bad Chapter 330

   Chapter 330 328. Five pieces of advice (33)

  September 2nd.

   The beta version of the Sina Weibo website was launched.

   As one of the many stars invited to join, Yang Mi and Xu Xin also posted their first Weibo after Weibo went online.

   "Hello everyone, I am actress Yang Mi. I will share my work and life on Weibo in the future. Please pay attention to me."

   "Hello everyone, I am Xu Xin, a young director. Warmly celebrate the launch of the beta version of Weibo, I hope you will pay more attention."

   On the day the two Weibo posts were completed according to the contract, Yang Mi gained more than 70,000 users' attention.

  As for Xu Xin...he gained more than 80,000 yuan.

but…

   What do you say?

   "Kill Xu Dog!"

   "Old thief Xu dog!!"

   "Grab honey, kill Xu dog!"

   "Dog thief! The revenge of taking your wife is irreconcilable!"

   "Yang Mi is here, let's kill Xu Gou and grab Mimi!!"

Um.

  The above is the tip of the iceberg of Xu Xin's Weibo comment.

  In all honesty, Xu Xin reckons that he should be able to secure the top spot today if he only talks about Weibo messages.

  If the premise is that you can ignore what this group of people are doing...

  But Xu Xin is not the one who just gets scolded and doesn't answer back.

   Weibo profile, he was lazy before, and filled out the sentence "Youth Director" in his profile.

  Yang Mi is a very official and detailed kind of "masterpiece "The Wind", "Wulin Biography" and the like.

  Xu Xin sneered at the beginning and finished writing one line of her masterpiece.

  But now it is uncharacteristically, and before introducing the self-introduction of "Young Director", he added "the husband of actor Yang Mi".

  Slightly slightly slightly~

   Not angry!

   Are you angry!

   Originally, he wanted to post another Weibo frantically, saying something like "@actor-杨米, this is my wife, please take care of me" or something like that.

  Think twice about the result...

never mind.

  Forgive me once!

  Our old Xu has also grown up. He is no longer the young man who must take revenge.

  However, he still said something to Yang Mi:

   "I feel that this Weibo will definitely not be simple in the future, and it is worth your time to get it right. If you have nothing to do, post more on Weibo and interact with everyone. You can't go wrong."

   Seeing that he was serious about what he said, Yang Mi was also unambiguous, and seriously included Weibo management into the scope of daily work.

   Interacting with fans quite frequently, the number of fans began to increase slowly, and it already meant to stand out from a group of stars.

  As for Xu Xin...

  He doesn't need to operate.

  Basically, if Yang Mi's fans increase, so will he.

   It's just that the content in the message area is easily condemned by dog ​​lovers.

   For the next period of time, Xu Xin's life was quite monotonous.

   It can even be said to be boring.

  Because his life is the same two points and one line.

  Home, school, home.

  The script of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" is being structured according to his ideas. The screenwriters are not noobs. The director has already given the concept, and the copyright is also held by Zhang Dao.

  Do whatever people say.

   Except for the occasional need to communicate with Xu Xin on the phone at some joint points, everyone did not meet face to face at other times.

   And the same goes for the screenplay of The Deal.

   But... the script is kind of bad.

   What director Xu values ​​is the contrast between the characters, and the story is drawn from the characters. And the special type of the story is the girl accompanying the wine and the little boy...

  The entire script needs to be changed drastically, but the story is still required to be brought to life.

  The first task of the screenwriter team, they definitely don't want to screw it up. But the revised first version of the story once again caused Xu Xin to call back directly on the spot.

   And attached his own opinion: "It's not life-oriented enough, and it weakens the sense of existence of the little boy and the hostess, no way."

  All staff continue to rework.

  Actually, Xu Xin also had a headache about the script of "Deal".

  Because he really liked the main frame of the story and felt that Liu Yifei was also suitable, so he decided to change it.

  But after I started to modify it, I realized that the storyline was really weak.

   But he still doesn't quite want to give up.

  Because Liu Yifei, who will always be a fairy sister in front of everyone, suddenly changes in this drama.

  Smoky makeup, accompanying girls, the contrast between smoking and drinking to burn your head...

   This is actually a story that subverts her own image.

  He and Yang Mi, including Liu Yifei himself, are unwilling to continue to be confined to the so-called "immortals". Instead, I want to set people down.

   This story will do.

  The premise is that if the storyline can be handled well...

  I can only say that I have to continue grinding.

   And everything is orderly and orderly... Even the baby in the stomach is growing super awesomely healthy, and there are no umbilical cords around the neck, fetal distress, etc...

   As the saying goes, people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries.

  Let Xu Xin suffer the most...

coming.

  September 11th.

  The 14-day military training is over.

  September 12th.

  The opening ceremony is here.

   "So short????"

   Yu Zhen looked at the manuscript paper that was handed to her, and when she saw that there was only half a page on it, she was completely dumbfounded.

   "Is your speech so brief?"

   "That's not true."

  Xu Xin shook his head:

   "The above words are from the perspective of the school."

   "Learn... what about the rest?"

   Yu Zhen was a little speechless.

  I want to see what my student has done.

as expected…

  Xu Xin pointed to his head:

   "In my head."

  Yu Zhen took a breath so that her throat was blocked and she couldn't swallow it.

  She stared wide-eyed:

   "In your head?"

   "Yes, in my head."

   Yu Zhen is in her own office, and there are no outsiders at the moment, so Xu Xin doesn't hide her words.

   Even, when he saw a few pieces of plum sugar on the table, he took one and held it in his hand, and then continued:

   "Teacher Yu, I've been stuck on this manuscript for a long time... I don't feel comfortable writing it."

"Why?"

   "Because...that's not the real film and television industry."

  Xu Xin shrugged:

"Of course, I also know that it is impossible for the school to tell them how cruel the real film and television industry is. But what I think is... every year there are outstanding student representatives to speak, but how many can really be remembered? But …Considering that these people may be my students in the future, I think it is better to help them figure out some things at some point."

  It's okay if he doesn't say this.

   Speaking of these, Yu Zhen frowned:

"what are you up to?"

  She was afraid that her students would say something radical.

  Although she did not believe that Xu Xin would do this.

   This child is not a fool. It is an instinct engraved in his bones to talk nonsense when he sees people.

  This instinct can be said to be smooth, but it is more like a representative of high emotional intelligence.

  So she didn't understand why he suddenly had such a persistence at this time.

   Facing the teacher's question, Xu Xin smiled and shook his head:

"I don't do anything, and I don't say anything else. I just want to give you some advice. If someone can listen to it, I think they may avoid some detours in the future. So, I prepared the official speech like this Many. As for the rest of the heart-wrenching words, I have gone through my mind several times, so you can rest assured."

   Seeing that Xu Xin had reached this point, Yu Zhen knew that he would not change.

  So a little helpless look appeared on his face:

   "You just follow the steps honestly, can't you just follow the script and read for a few minutes like everyone else? You were obviously reluctant at the beginning. Now you want to be different?"

   "It's not unconventional."

  Xu Xin folded his manuscript and put it in his pocket:

   "It's fine if you don't do it. Now that you have decided to do it, you must do it with a serious and responsible attitude."

   “…sure you won't screw it up?”

   "How can it be."

  Xu Xin laughed:

   "I'm going to screw up and lose someone who isn't yours?"

   "...Okay, then the teacher is waiting to see you perform."

  Once again, Yu Zhen put her trust in this student who has never let herself down since the first half semester of her freshman year.

  The side of the school auditorium stage.

  Different from the decent suit of the president of the student union who was speaking on stage, Xu Xin, who was only dressed in black short sleeves, jeans, and sneakers, glanced at the crowd off the field, and his heart inevitably accelerated.

  To be honest, he kind of wanted to slip away.

  People... too many!

  Hey, what are the things I want to say in my head?

   It's over, it's over.

  If I had known earlier, I would have written directly in the manuscript!

  ...Where is my manuscript?

  Oh yes, in the back pocket.

   No, I have to calm down for a while...

   No, why are there so many people in our school?

   Upstairs and downstairs, tens of thousands of people? Those of you upstairs have to be careful, if you fall down, you still have to buy a ticket. There are VIPs in front of you... Ah!

  Guo Degang's cross talk joke popped up in Xu Xin's mind for some reason, and Xu Xin quickly shook his head.

   Then continue to observe the students below through the curtain.

  He is already a junior.

  He is a senior of the Eight Classics.

   Or he is a senior himself, but he just repeated the grade.

  And now my classmates... It seems that the changes are not small.

   Well, Jing Tian is even whiter.

  With makeup on?

  That girl is also nice...what's her name? Zheng Xing? Her recent "Let's Go to the Thunderstorm" is quite popular.

Yo? That handsome guy over there has quite three-dimensional facial features.

oh? Zhang Jiao is here too...

  His brain began to spin rapidly, and a wave of nervous emotions began to split rapidly through these thought gaps.

   "Next, let's invite an outstanding student from the directing department, an outstanding young director, and the youngest director with a billion-dollar box office in history—Xu Xin, to give a welcome speech!"

  When he came back to his senses after being called out by a burst of applause, he saw the student council president who couldn't even give his name looking sideways at him and applauding for him...

  His mind went blank for an instant.

  Call me?

   Are you calling me?

  He subconsciously pointed to himself.

   Then I saw this buddy nodding to himself.

   "Boom boom boom boom..."

  Under a violently beating heart, he took a stiff first step.

   Then comes the second step.

   By the third step, the person has already walked out of the stage, and the spotlight has already hit him.

  Xu Xin squinted subconsciously.

  But I can't see the faces below clearly.

   Moreover, it means that the light is "just right" at this moment, otherwise it can be definitely seen that his face is as red as a monkey's butt.

  But then again, social fear belongs to social fear.

   When the real chapter came, Xu Xin knew that he couldn't be vague.

  So, in the fourth step, his mind suddenly calmed down as if he had been drenched in a basin of refreshing ice water.

   Step by step, he came to the podium.

   First, he bowed to all the school leaders and teachers sitting on the podium.

   Then, amidst the applause, he looked at the students with blurred faces under the strong light and bowed slightly.

  Finally, he took out his speech.

   "Ahem."

  The sound of coughing came from the loudspeaker, stopping the applause.

   Then, everyone heard another breath:

   "Hoo..."

  Xu Xin, who had already started his speech, bowed his head and read:

   "Respected teachers, leaders, dear students of the 2009 class, hello everyone. I am Xu Xin from the 2005 undergraduate directing class."

  The audience fell silent...

  Then, I don't know who, and suddenly let out a chuckle.

   "Haha~"

  With this sound of taking the lead, the students who realized Xu Xin's special history of "repeating a grade" burst into laughter.

   But the laughter sounded along with the applause.

   "Wow, la la la..."

   And Xu Xin himself was taken aback.

   Immediately afterwards, he also laughed.

   After a chuckle, he continued to look at the manuscript and said:

"First of all, welcome to Yanjing Film Academy, the top and most influential film art school in the country. Seeing the faces of all the freshmen not only reminds me of the first time I came to the school The scene, let me see the future of film art..."

  His speech is not long, and after speaking this paragraph, he has entered the final stage.

"I believe that choosing the film school is one of the most correct decisions you have ever made. Our film school has the world's first-class film teaching equipment, strong teaching staff, and advanced teaching experience. It has given birth to countless Chinese films. The cradle of people. Here, I hope that everyone will forge ahead, not forgetting the original intention, inheriting the past and ushering in the future, and continue to shine for the film art we love, and contribute our own strength."

   End of speech.

   And with his pause, the applause sounded half a beat later.

   "Wow la la la la la..."

   Then, everyone saw Xu Xin, who had been looking at the speech just now, raised his head.

   "Next, as an old senior who entered in 2005 and was only a junior this year, I would like to share some of my own experience with the freshmen. I hope you can gain something in the future."

  Seeing him suddenly withdraw the manuscript, there was a trace of doubt in the eyes of these freshmen who came from various art schools.

   And Xu Xin, who had already forgotten what nervousness was, lost a king bomb as soon as he opened his mouth.

   "The first piece of advice: University does not prohibit dating, but please try to get married and have children after graduation."

  The audience fell silent.

  Even the school leaders sitting next to them were stunned.

  Turning his head and looking straight at Xu Xin...

  There is only one emotion in everyone's eyes:

   "What is this person talking about?"

Then…

   "Poof..."

   "Hahahahahahaha..."

"oh!!"

   "Wow la la la la la..."

  Applause, laughter, and whistles came together.

   Originally, the opening ceremony was somewhat formulaic and very boring. Following Xu Xin's first advice, the sound seemed to overturn the ceiling in an instant.

  Amidst the self-deprecating laughter, Xu Xin bowed to the school leader:

   "I have caused trouble for the teachers."

  Including Yu Zhen, everyone showed dumbfounding expressions.

   OK... OK.

   What can I say?

  He is capable and has proven himself.

   Reached the legal age, the young couple married and had children...

  What can I say?

   Besides, didn't they give advice?

   "This one is very important."

  Accompanied by Xu Xin's words...

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…"

   Both men and women, everyone's ears are pricked up.

   After making a joke of himself, Xu Xin nodded slightly and continued:

"The second piece of advice I want to give to the students in the Department of Editing and Directing. As a senior, what I want to say to you is that before you can't tell a story, anyone who talks about the artistic concept, thoughts, and themes in the film Thoughts are just empty talk.”

   Laughter fell silent.

  After the banter was gone, Xu Xin said seriously:

"Please remember that at the beginning of its birth, film was a visual art form that used moving images to express stories. It is our predecessors who discovered that in addition to expressing stories, it can communicate ideas and express emotions. , values, and cognition functions, thus endowing it with more internal meanings.

  As a latecomer, we must first understand where our foundation is. As a director, we must first tell a story to the audience. Before the story is clearly told, any artistic discussion is empty talk. "

   Laughter turned into thinking.

  Everyone had a thoughtful look on their faces.

"The third piece of advice, all students majoring in directing, learn to communicate. Don't imitate some tyrants on the set, or sit on the clouds and never see the end. Please remember that communication is the best Ways and paths of communication and growth.”

   Facing the silent crowd, Xu Xin raised his fourth finger:

   "The fourth piece of advice: All the students in the acting department, please learn to act before becoming famous. Please don't forget it at home after becoming famous."

"The fifth piece of advice: No matter what your profession is, please never leave the masses. Only by rooting in the people's soil and cultivating it deeply will your art not become seemingly unattainable but flashy. castles in the air."

"at last."

  After finishing the five pieces of advice, Xu Xin nodded slightly as he looked at those people who were lost in thought:

"The last message is also a blessing. I wish you all the best in your pursuit of film art. I also hope that I will be honored to cooperate with you in the future. This is the end of my speech, thank you all .”

   bowed slightly politely again, and bowed to the school leader again...

   There was belated applause:

   "Wow la la la la la..."

  Although Xu Xin himself didn't know whether his five pieces of advice were qualified to be remembered by them.

   But listening to the applause...

   It seems that, at least at this moment, they all remembered it in their hearts.

   That's enough.

  Perhaps his advice is still immature, and perhaps some truths are misunderstood by others.

   But the five pieces of advice are the greatest help he can give to these juniors and sisters so far.

   Perhaps, they will not necessarily be particularly useful.

  After all, everyone's life situation is different.

   But at the very least, whether I am myself or Yang Mi, I am firmly implementing some of these pieces of advice.

   And for now...

   It also seems to be...successful?

   But what he doesn't know is that these five pieces of advice are very valuable experience for many people off the court.

  For example, Jing Tian who is thinking at this moment.

  For example, Zhang Jiao who clenched her fists at this moment...

  Of course, some people listened absent-mindedly.

  For example, Zheng Xing, who suddenly became popular with "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" premiered on Mango Channel in August.

  While Xu Xin was speaking, she kept pressing her phone with her head down.

  The fire of "Meteor Shower" made her suddenly gain a lot of popularity.

   And Mango TV also began to pour resources to support her.

  Boundless business resources are rushing in, and she has tasted the taste of fame for the first time.

  What advice?

did not hear.

  Because at this moment, she has already finalized the shooting of two commercials.

  Compared to real money...

   Don't say you didn't pay attention.

   So what if you really hear it... Who in this era is not the first to talk about it?

   "Director Xu Xin's "Wonderful" Speech at the Opening Ceremony of Beijing Film Academy! "

   This video quietly appeared on many video portals.

  Although the video was clearly recorded by the mobile phone, the words of advice about Xu Xin were recorded very clearly.

  Especially the first one…

   Really made a lot of people laugh.

  Good guy, are you really self-deprecating in your feelings?

  Hahahaha~

  However, apart from the first piece of advice, which was obviously a joke, the remaining ones made many people think.

   But not many.

   It can only be said that Xu Xin's advice is of little reference to non-film professional practitioners.

  But in the eyes of those who are engaged in the film industry, his words are not very informative.

   It's not that it's useless.

   But once these few pieces of advice come out, you can understand after careful analysis. He just said it for all newcomers to listen to.

   And it doesn't involve real entertainment.

  The real film and television industry is definitely not that simple.

  Not to mention anything else, just a "communication" advice can eliminate a large number of people.

  The relationship between the crew and actors, the relationship between the director and investors, producers... Sometimes these people can't communicate at all.

   But in all honesty, it is very helpful for newcomers.

   Nothing wrong with it.

  The premise is that if others can really listen to it.

   But whatever.

  At least, in the beginning of the school season in September, Xu Xin's "alternative" speech can be regarded as adding a touch of humor to the first half of this month.

   The wind and waves are not big, and those who are interested will naturally use it after hearing it.

   Those who couldn't listen didn't force it.

   So it calmed down quickly.

  Time moves forward little by little.

   It seems that October is the most important month of the year.

  People in the film and television industry are also watching.

   After all, on October 1st, there is a blockbuster movie to be released as an insider.

   Everyone is waiting to see what kind of myth this movie will create.

  Including Xu Xin himself.

  Among this kind of expectation, Xu Xin, who was still living at two o'clock and one line every day, had already started preparing for the test. On September 17th, he suddenly received a call from an old classmate.

  Fang Xiu called.

   and brought a message:

   "Old Xu, do you want to make documentaries?"

   The leader owes more: 5 more. Once again, I would like to apologize to everyone for my mistakes today. I sincerely apologize. I am sorry!
