I'm a Director, I'm Not Bad Chapter 376

   Chapter 376 374. Cheongsam White Sox

  December 3rd.

  Xu Xin did not see Zhang Yimou.

  After the live broadcast yesterday, "Three Shots" has entered the promotion period.

  The old man's day consisted of an interview in the morning, a meeting in the afternoon, and an exclusive interview with reporters in the evening.

  Propaganda for "Three Guns".

  But Zhang Mo didn't follow.

  She is the assistant director of "The Hawthorn Tree", so she must be busy with the film at this time.

  All auditions will be over today, and tomorrow is the time for "Jinling".

  After the end of the day tomorrow, Xu Xin and Yang Mi will take their children home that night.

   This is also the first time for her to return to Shenmu. It is a very grand event, and the whole family has to go back.

   And after staying all day on December 5, he went directly to Shanghai for a meeting, and then he would start preparing for the shooting of the short film "Trading" after returning.

   Then after this weekend, the second round of auditions will start.

   The row is quite full.

   After Xu Xin saw Zhang Mo in the morning, he was pulled aside by Zhang Mo:

   "What about the game press conference last night...my dad doesn't know."

  “…Then the recording of Welcome to the World of Shadows…”

"My dad knew about the "Movie World". But Zhang Weiping and he talked about the Internet linkage with Kaixin.com, and the "Three Guns" people helped promote it, and they organized a "Movie World" themed event. He had to record a sentence. So he recorded a sentence on the computer and sent it to Kaixin.com. But he didn't know there was another game about Mazi Noodle House.”

   Zhang Mo, who was in a calm mood this morning, subconsciously dilated his nostrils when he talked about this matter.

   Obviously, she was angry.

   "I was going to look for Zhang Weiping last night, but my dad stopped me. The copyright of "Three Guns" is in the new screen...From a legal point of view, my dad can't get involved."

   "... Director Zhang is not a shareholder of New Screen?"

  Xu Xin was taken aback:

   "He has no right to intervene?"

  As soon as he asked this question, Zhang Mo was also taken aback:

"you do not know?"

"…What?"

   "The shareholding composition of New Picture is Zhang Weiping 80 and Zhang Jing 20. My dad is just a signed artist. What he signed is a film sharing agreement."

   "Zhang Jing...Zhang Weiping's lover?"

"Um."

"this…???"

  Xu Xin was really confused:

   "Director Zhang has no shares? How is it possible? No shares at all?"

"No."

  Zhang Mo shook his head:

"When "New Picture" was established, it was when my dad was filming "Speak Well". Gong Li stopped acting, and he used the money to invest and directly established the company. After everyone started to work together, my dad also I haven't mentioned the matter of investing in shares. But the film between the two is divided in half, and there is a contract. My dad thinks it's better not to get involved in the management of the company, so that the independence of art can be maintained.”

   "But now it becomes... the biggest constraint, right?"

"…Um."

  Zhang Mo nodded and sighed slightly:

"He's quite open about it. Anyway, this movie is like this... The company wants to make money, so it doesn't matter. And for so many years, Zhang Weiping has always been doing the promotion, and my dad is not proficient in this aspect. ..."

   This is the truth.

  Zhang Weiping is famous for his big mouth.

  Can blow.

   Ten million things can be blown into one billion.

  How come it is a big gimmick.

  Anyway, he has the old man's movie as a guarantee, no matter how he brags, the media or the audience will accept it.

  Can now...

  Xu Xin didn't know what to say.

  He can say and do too little.

   Could it be that he is going to bombard the old man, saying that "Three Shots" is a bad movie?

   Isn't this nonsense?

  Why don't others mention it, but shut yourself in first.

  But Zhang Mo was obviously very upset:

   "I don't know why he spoils him! Why..."

   "...okay."

  He could only comfort his older sister, saying:

   "Let's go to the audition first..."

   "Xu Xin."

   Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhang Mo suddenly called out to him.

"…?What's wrong?"

"I…"

   When she said this, she hesitated for a moment, and then continued:

   "I'm trying to get him out of the new frame."

  Hearing this, Xu Xin was taken aback.

   Then she understood what she meant, nodded and gave her unwavering commitment:

   "Well, I am your strongest backing, Sister Mo!"

  Night.

  When Xu Xin came back after a day of auditions, there were already several large boxes in the living room.

"I'm home?"

  Yang Mi, who was holding the child, said hello.

  Xu Xin nodded, took off his coat, stood on the side of the radiator to cool off the cool air on his body, and said:

   "What's in those boxes?"

   "Special product. I brought it to the elders in the village. After all, it is the first time I go back. I must prepare more."

"oh."

  He nodded:

   "Actually, there is no need to bring so many, there is nothing missing at home."

   "Not lacking and not buying are two different things...how was today's audition?"

   "A few more actors were selected... but they were all far worse."

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

   "I won't mention Jingqiu, the third child... Don't you say that Lin Gou and a child named Dou Yao are inseparable? If possible, can it be digested internally?"

   "Lin Gou plays the third child?"

"Um."

  Yang Mi nodded:

   "Jing Qiu, I won't give you pillow talk. But in my opinion, the role of the third child is actually better handled in the script. I think Lin Gou is quite suitable."

   "Just let him prepare for the audition."

   Regarding this proposal, Xu Xin neither agreed nor opposed it.

"I want to digest it internally. I wish Jingqiu could also arrange for Liu Yifei... But I still say that acting skills are paramount. Whoever has good acting skills and a higher overall score will be used... Any news about your "The Great Master"? "

"have."

  Her answer stunned Xu Xin:

   "Choose?"

"No ah."

   "Failed?"

   "Not at all."

   "What message is that?"

   "No news."

  Looking at her husband who couldn't react because of her brain teaser, Yang Mi let out two fart-like laughs:

   "There is news. This news is no news! Do you understand?"

   Now Xu Xin came to his senses.

   Turns out she was really farting.

  Glared at her angrily, then said:

   "Tomorrow I will audition for "Jinling" with the old man. Those actors are all amateur actors, including that Ni Ni. After I review it for you, I will give you the contact information..."

   "No, I'll just go with you tomorrow."

"…Together?"

   "Yes, you have to see it with your own eyes."

   She said with a smile.

  Obviously, Yang Mi was also quite curious about this person who might be the next new recruit.

  But she is curious... According to Xu Xin's understanding of her, it is estimated that she is not the same as others.

  Other people's perception of Mou girls is that "Old Mouzi" is good at picking out the buried diamond from the vast number of girls.

   But some people do.

  The cognition of "seeking a girl" is:

   "I'm so beautiful, shouldn't it be natural to be a girl?" [Pinch waist, proud face]

   Rather than saying that she is curious about Ni Ni, it is better to say that she is curious about what her "successor" looks like.

   In the past, the beauty overwhelmed the crowd.

   "Tsk tsk. Where does the sense of superiority come from?"

   "Hey, happy!"

  A certain fart king raised his head proudly.

  The defect of the mandible is exposed.

Then…

"Give."

   Throwing the child into her husband's arms, Nenniu Wufang opened the door and walked to the kitchen:

   "Dad, what are you doing delicious..."

  The audition for "Jinling" was still under the title of "The Hawthorn Tree", so these people who came today thought they were here to audition for Jing Qiu and other characters in the book.

  Even the location was moved to Xiying Studio just like "The Hawthorn Tree" in order to deceive people.

  Early in the morning, the couple came a little late because they had to breastfeed the two children.

   When the two of them arrived, they went up to the corner of the second floor, and when they came to the largest audition hall No. 3, Xu Xin raised his eyebrows when he saw the humming crowd inside.

   Audition Hall No. 3 is generally used for selecting group actors.

  It is different from Hall 1 where Xu Xin auditioned these days.

   Hall 1 requires each character to perform auditions to the director closely and intuitively, so its size is about the same as a classroom.

  The actors came in to audition, sorted out their emotions in a relatively quiet atmosphere, and then began to perform.

  But Hall No. 3 is similar to a large classroom in a school, with stepped seats.

  In the early years, it was used by Xiying Studio to select some dramas such as war years, or some ethnic dramas, with large group dances and so on.

  By the way, as a digression, the office of Xiying Studio is located on the side of Chaoyang Traffic Committee on Xidawang Road. It belonged to a piece of land bought by Xiying Studio when it was in the limelight in the early years.

   And how big is this land...

  Let's put it this way, Yanjing Erying Group uses half of its land.

  After renting this land, the company building was built on the original site.

   Built a building for the declining Xiying Studio for free, in exchange for the right to use the land and a very favorable rent.

  From the perspective of outsiders, many people only know Yanjing Erying, but not Xiying Film Studio.

  But in fact, this building area is the land of Xiying Studio.

   There are many seats in Hall 3, all of which are places for actors to wait.

   And there is a stage, and even a small catwalk, which can be considered a luxury.

  But...According to Qi Lei, Hall 3 hadn't been used for many years before this year...

   After all, they are all designs from the early years, and it is indeed a bit behind the tide of the times.

  But others can look at, think about, and ponder from these family backgrounds... What kind of scenery was the West Film Studio back then.

   "There are so many people."

  Hearing what he said, Yang Mi covered her mouth and snickered:

   "No... "The Hawthorn" really needs a lot of people."

  Xu Xin glared at her angrily:

   "Don't talk nonsense."

   "Don't worry, director. If I say a word wrong today, you will unspoken rules for me one more time when you get home!"

  Hearing this, Xu Xin thought for a while and nodded:

"once."

  Yang Mi's mouth twitched...

   "Look at your pervert's virtue! Just once!"

   "Twice."

   "Don't push yourself too far!"

   "Three times!"

   "Hi..."

  She began to take out her trump card.

  The social cow attribute is turned on.

  Xu Xin immediately didn't dare to say anything.

   "Humph."

   Snorted proudly, followed her husband, and the two of them walked into the third hall together.

  The appearance of the two immediately caused a spontaneous commotion among some waiting girls.

  In addition, Zhang Yimou, Yan Geling and others sitting near the radiator were a little distracted.

   Not to mention the young girls on the stage who showed themselves as models.

  Xu Xin looked around and nodded:

   "Sorry, we're late."

   Auditions are temporarily suspended.

   Zhang Yimou nodded:

   "Hurry up, seeing you're late, I'll start for you first."

"Um."

  The two passed the attention of countless people, and walked to the seat that was about 1.5 meters away from the at least 100 or 200 actors in the waiting area behind.

  Xu Xin's position is next to Zhang Yimou.

   After all, this is the audition scene for "The Hawthorn".

  Yang Mi's position is on the edge.

  She didn't come here today as an actor, but as a wife and a companion.

  So work comes first, so she takes a seat by the side.

   And after she sat down, she glanced at the clothes rack next to her.

  The first row is covered with Qing Yishui's cheongsams.

  All styles and colors are available.

   She was the one who took care of the suits of the rough men in the old Xu family, and before filming "The Wind", she also did a lot of research on Jiangnan cheongsam.

   Moreover, the cheongsams in "The Wind" are also extremely exquisite.

   Otherwise, it would not have been nominated by Fu Huadao many times.

  Gu Xiaomeng, as the eldest lady of the Gu family, naturally understands cheongsam.

   Not only know how to wear, but also how to look.

  After touching the cheongsam material next to her, she knew it was just a show.

   The material is average, and the workmanship is average.

   So I lost interest.

   After Zhang Yimou and the two sat down, his eyes fell on the actors on the stage again.

  Everyone is standing in the etiquette posture of a model, looking straight ahead.

   After looking at it, Zhang Yimou said:

   "Second, fifth, sixth, ninth."

  A total of ten people were gathered.

  The person whose name was called looked very excited.

  The girl whose name was not called walked off the stage automatically with a bit of disappointment in her eyes.

  Then, the staff who were two rows of hangers away from Yang Mi picked up four sets of cheongsams of different colors next to each other, and handed them to the girls.

  The clothes they are wearing today seem to have been requested in advance. They are all slim-fitting and black.

  Plus it is a bit thin, and with the black base layer, it is not messy and fancy after wearing the cheongsam.

  But Xu Xin frowned when he saw that he was wearing a cheongsam.

   leaned close to the old man's ear and whispered:

   "You put on the cheongsam directly? Will you expose too much?"

  Hearing this, Zhang Yimou turned his face and covered his mouth and said in a low voice:

   "I told them that I was looking for the soft curves of "Three Mile Bay". You can just give me a few words later."

  Xu Xin understood the meaning.

   Then, the girls put on cheongsams one after another.

   But it can be seen that two girls seem to have never been in contact with this type of clothing, and the mandarin duck buttons are very slow.

   After it was finally fastened, for some reason, the hem of the cheongsam stuck to the leg like a layer of glue.

   Looks nondescript.

   It also made Yang Mi frowned.

  The two girls also discovered this problem, and hurriedly wanted to lift the skirt of the cheongsam.

  But no matter how much you "fan", in the end the cheongsam is like a magnet, firmly attached to the legs.

  When she was at a loss, Yang Mi's voice sounded:

   "It's static electricity."

  Her little milk voice sounded abruptly in the audition hall.

  The two girls who got the prompt realized it later... One of the girls didn't know what to think, and bent down and rubbed the cheongsam and thigh with the palm of her hand...

   But it's okay if she doesn't masturbate, but when she does, the cheongsam and legs fit tighter.

  The girl panicked immediately, and instinctively looked at Yang Mi for help.

  Yang Mi was actually quite speechless.

  You can see the girl's pitiful eyes... Although she is speechless, she can't see the girl's predicament after all.

  He stood up straight away, and picked up his handbag by the way.

  Her movements attracted everyone's attention.

   Just watched her take out a... bottle that looked like insecticide from her handbag.

  The bottle says "EVIAN" in red English letters.

  Holding the bottle, she came to the stage while shaking it:

"Silk is prone to static electricity. Don't be in a hurry when you encounter this kind of thing. You can just spray some water... Ordinary water is fine. If you want to wear a cheongsam in the future, remember to bring a small bottle of mineral water with you, and get a pressed duckbill nozzle. …or just fill an empty perfume bottle with water. Just a spritz…”

   Following her words, a mist of water sprayed out of the bottle.

  When the water mist meets the cheongsam...the static electricity disappears instantly.

  The skirt of the cheongsam naturally hangs down from this girl.

  The girls waiting for the audition were surprised.

  Watching helplessly as she sprayed another girl in the same way.

  Four generous girls in cheongsams appeared in front of everyone.

"thank you…"

  The two girls quickly expressed their thanks.

  Yang Mi shook her head, and casually put the bottle of spray she was carrying on the stage.

   means "who needs who to use".

   Then he returned to his seat.

  At this time, Zhang Yimou couldn't help laughing:

   "So professional?"

"hey-hey."

  Yang Mi smiled playfully:

   "After all, it's you...ahem. The person you choose for Xu Xin must do his best."

  The smile on Zhang Yimou's face became a little stiff.

   But the meaning in Xu Xin's eyes looking at her is simpler:

   "Four times!"

  Director Xu Da wants to unspoken rules for you four times!

  Go home, wash and wait!

  With Yang Mi's science popularization, as expected, the four of them lost the predicament of cheongsam and static electricity.

  But when it came time to show, Yang Mi never let go of her frown.

  Because... none of what they showed was quite right.

  Director Zhang's request is very simple.

  Ten actors come on stage, and they will be shown statically first.

  The selected person will wear a cheongsam and proceed to the second round of static display.

   After the static display, start to move.

  Take a step to walk the stage, and then use the long bench on the stage to show the sitting posture and concave static shape.

  After the show, step down.

   And after her bottle of mineral water spray was used for the ninth time, Yang Mi finally couldn't take it anymore.

  After thinking about it, she got up and walked to Xu Xin and Zhang Yimou, covering her mouth:

   "Director Zhang."

"Um?"

   "This is not right, the kind of beauty you are looking for, you can't show it like this."

"…how?"

   "They are not going the right way... Shall I go and make a sample for you?"

   "...OK. Then you come."

  Zhang Yimou nodded.

  About cheongsam and clothes, he actually doesn't know much.

   After all, strictly speaking, these things are all about subduing Taoism. He has his own mature crew and is the one responsible for the general direction. You want him to button up the details of the cheongsam and manners alone... Then why do you need clothing directors, action guides, and Fuhuadao?

   Taking care of the idle food?

  The director is meticulous in every detail, which is a good quality.

  But if everything requires the director to be meticulous and careful, then it is the incompetence of his subordinates.

  After hearing this, Yang Mi responded:

   "Well... you guys stop for a moment."

  She stopped the stepping performance on the stage.

   Several girls are overwhelmed.

   And she walked to the row of cheongsams, looked around, and chose a set of plain cheongsams with green satin and white grid pattern.

Holding this cheongsam, she took off the fuzzy vest and sneakers that were getting in the way, and then looked at the pair of high-heeled shoes... Finally, she didn't even wear the shoes, and stepped on a pair of small white socks, starting from the bottom of her feet. Put on the cheongsam.

  She wears a cheongsam much faster than others.

  After putting on the cheongsam, it turned out to be a mandarin duck button tied with one hand.

   After tying it up, she looked at herself in the mirror, and walked onto the stage without shoes.

   Facing these two hundred girls, she said:

   "Let me show you the correct posture. First of all, when standing, you should keep your chest up and your abdomen in, your shoulders should open and sink naturally, your hips should be raised, your legs should be close together, and the whole person should grow upwards...it must be natural."

   As she spoke, she took a deep breath and stood on tiptoe.

   A "weird" scene happened.

  Clearly not wearing high heels, but relying on the toes of her bare feet to touch the ground, she is standing steadily...

  The temperament of the whole person has changed!

  Everyone feels that... the big star in front of him has changed directly.

  Who is Yang Mi?

do not know.

But…

  Fucking Gu Xiaomeng came out!

  The playful and knowledgeable temperament was immediately highlighted.

"Wow…"

   I don't know who it is, and I exclaimed in the crowd.

  Then, Yang Mi, who didn't shake at all, looked at them and continued:

   "This standing posture is different from the model's demeanor. It should be more graceful, especially here..."

   Pointing to his shoulder:

   "Don't push it up. Relax naturally, from the earlobe to the shoulder, it is a state of natural relaxation. This is very important. If you can't learn it, just imagine that you first clamp the shoulder, and then remove the force of the shoulder clamp..."

  Following her words, the girls next to her who were interrupted from the audition also began to imitate.

   All of a sudden, everyone's bodies relaxed and stretched a lot.

   "Next, walk. Remember, wear a cheongsam, not a catwalk. Of course, you are going to act..."

  Suddenly, she paused again.

   winked...

  Looking at her husband's silent warning eyes...

"Ahem. The roles you are going to play have the needs of the director, and you can adjust them at that time. But first, you must walk slowly while wearing a cheongsam. When you walk, remember that your upper body should be straight, relaxed, and the corners of your mouth should be smiling... "

   As she spoke, the girl with a dignified smile began to walk.

   Stepping on "high heels", strolling and shaking.

   Walk forward.

   Walk slowly, walk steadily:

"Step by step, walk gracefully and gracefully. Don't deliberately show the aura of the model, it is meaningless to the cheongsam. This is the oriental aesthetics, and the catwalk of the model is the display of the western aesthetics. There is a difference in essence... Just walk slowly..."

   After walking a total of six or seven steps, she turned her head and showed her back to the big guy. She continued:

"Remember, the buttocks at the back are the natural beauty presented by the twisting of the waist. It's not the kind of intentional hip twisting... Of course. Those prostitutes we often see, her steps will be wider, but also I will not escape from the graceful frame. Because everyone who goes to brothels is also romantic, not obscene."

  She meant something.

  But this time, it was true.

   Even though all the girls watched her well-measured steps, she walked up to several girls step by step.

   Needless to say.

  These six girls are just like Moses divided the sea, they automatically made way for her.

   It's like a greeting.

  Welcome the Phoenix Master to return to his nest.

  Bainiao lowered her eyebrows and nodded.

"The next step is to sit... the actors just now, I don't know how you learned it, but your posture is wrong. Remember, when you sit in a cheongsam, there is no such thing as touching your buttocks and pressing the folds of the bottom of your skirt. Like this In the Republic of China, even singers and dancers would not sit like this. Because it is indecent. Therefore, don't sit with your hands along your waist to your legs, it's not right. And the correct way to sit , so..."

   Following her words, she gently pinched the waistline on both sides of the cheongsam and raised it slightly.

  The slit of the whole cheongsam is about one centimeter too high.

  Then, the whole person still straightened up.

"Raise the hem so that it doesn't cling to your **** for a while, and then sit down slowly. Remember, when you sit, don't sit all the way, just sit in the front third. When sitting, you should also straighten your waist. Lift, straight, Slow down, sit down, put your legs together..."

  Finally, she put on a look like the one in the stills of "The Wind", raised her eyebrows at everyone, and showed a smile like an elf.

   "That's it. Remember it all?"

   Following her words, the entire audition scene was quiet for a while...

   Then I don't know which girl said:

"Wow…"

  Someone takes the lead.

Then…

"Wow!!"

   "Wow la la la la la la..."

  Amidst the cheers and applause of the audience, Yang Mi, who slowly stood up, bowed and bowed, and walked slowly in front of Xu Xin's row step by step with graceful steps:

   "Director, how is my performance?"

  Zhang Yimou didn't speak.

  Xu Xin nodded vigorously.

   "Yeah yum! Looks good!"

  Listening to his praise, Yang Mi looked at Zhang Yimou again.

   And looking at the girl in front of him, he suddenly remembered the scene when he met her for the first time in "Golden Armor".

  Zhang Yimou sighed unconsciously:

   "Grow up, Mimi. Really grown up~"

   "Hee hee~"

  Yang Mi smiled playfully, untied the cheongsam and handed it to the staff, then sat down on the seat again.

  Everything is as usual, like a dream.

  Only the little white socks stained with a little dust declared that everything just now was true.
