I'm a Director, I'm Not Bad Chapter 625

Chapter 625 623. If you don't give up...

"Director Xu, good morning."

"Director Xu early."

"Director Xu, good morning."

Xu Xin looked at the few people who walked in, smiled and nodded:

"morning."

At this moment, he is sitting in the small screening hall of Xiying Studio, and he still has these script books in his hand.

After Wen Zhang, Tang Yan, and Xi Wei greeted him, he responded and distributed the notebook in his hand to the three.

"Let's take a look at the lines first. The editing and some special effects are almost finished. We will watch the movie as a whole in a while. The parts that need to be dubbed have been marked in the book. You should pay special attention and grasp the mood. After the dubbing starts , just follow the edited story flow.”

As he spoke, he swept around the faces of the three of them.

Wen Zhang and Xi Wei are alright, they look quite normal with their plain faces up.

Instead, Tang Yan...

Even put on makeup?

Tut.

Really dedicated.

At this moment, the phone in the screening room rang, and Xu Xin picked it up casually.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Director Xu, I'm Ma Shuangming. Director Qi asked me to send the scripts of "Partner" and "Youth" to your office. This is a revised script, and you need to review it."

"Well…"

Ma Shuangming...who is here?

He couldn't remember for a while, but he still said:

"You can send it directly to the screening hall here in the later stage, I can't go back now."

"Yeah, okay, then wait a moment, I'll go over."

"Um."

The phone hung up. He glanced at the time and saw that it was almost 9:30. Wang Sicong hadn't come yet, so he took his mobile phone and called him.

The phone rang for a while before Wang Sicong's confused voice sounded:

"Hello?"

"You are still sleeping?"

"…ah."

"Ah shit, you still have to do the dubbing. Hurry up, I'm waiting for you."

"...Huh?...Uh, okay, I'll come right away, wait for me for twenty minutes."

Wang Sicong's voice became more sober.

"Twenty minutes is a fart, hurry up, I'm waiting for you, ten minutes at most, come here by tram."

After Xu Xin urged, he shook his head helplessly.

The set time is 9:00, that is, he dared to release his pigeons openly.

Then he said to the three:

"Old Wang is jet-lagged, he hasn't woken up yet. I'll be here soon... Just in time, you take advantage of this juncture to compare the plots you have acted."

The three of them naturally have no opinion.

Today's job is to dub the main actors.

The rest of the supporting roles or those who don't play a big role are tomorrow.

Let the leading actors come first, after all, they also have other jobs, so it is not good to delay too long.

"33 Days" still needs a lot of dubbing, because of the selection of shooting locations, there are many flaws that need to be repaired, and they have to be polished carefully.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the screening hall.

"Enter."

Following Xu Xin's words, a young man he looked familiar walked in with some folders.

"Director Xu, here are two scripts. The Art Creation Center asked me to send them to you."

When they heard the "script", the ears of all three people stood up.

Xu Xin nodded:

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Is the director settled?"

"Not yet, Mr. Qi means that you review first, and if there are areas that need improvement, just mark them out to us, and the screenwriter team will make changes. Once the script is qualified, we will start recruiting directors and actors."

Hearing the young man's words, Xu Xin understood the meaning and nodded:

"okay, I get it."

"Director Xu, goodbye teachers."

Ma Shuangming withdrew politely.

And Xu Xin didn't remember where he saw him...

But it doesn't matter.

There was nothing else going on right now, so he casually opened the script of "Partner" and glanced at it.

The last time he saw this story, he remembered that he hadn't obtained Yu Minhong's authorization yet. But now it seems... it should be done.

While he was reading the script, Wen Zhang secretly glanced at the two people next to him.

Xi Wei was fine...she was reading the script with her head down.

Tang Yan's eyes are obviously the same as his own... They are all staring at Director Xu.

While Wen Zhang turned his head, Tang Yan also saw him turn his head.

The two of them didn't communicate, but with a glance, they seemed to understand what the other was thinking.

Then came a very critical step.

Who speaks?

Or… whoever dares to speak first?

Although this kind of thing is not a taboo in the industry, the director has a notebook in his hand, so if he is interested as an actor, he can ask about it...Everyone is friends in private, and he is also a partner in public...It's nothing.

Can…

Inexplicably, neither of them dared.

Want the other person to speak first.

After staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes, in the end, Wen Zhang was still "lost."

"Cough... Director Xu, what story does the script in your hand tell?"

Hearing this, Xu Xin raised his head.

After taking a look at Wen Zhang, he smiled and said:

"Let's just say... it's the story of New Oriental Yu Minhong. It's half autobiography, half fictional. Why? Interested?"

Hearing this, Wen Zhang's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile:

"That's for sure, Director Xu, which actor is not interested in the script you fancy?"

"Hmm... haha, that's not it."

Xu Xin put down "Partner" temporarily with a smile, patted the folder of "Youth" and said:

"These two scripts are both scripts from the Yichuang Center. Do you understand the system of the Yichuang Center?"

"Well…"

Seeing Wen Zhang stuck, Xu Xin got the answer.

Actually understandable.

Shanghai Film Studio values profit, so their resources belong to the model of "the highest price wins".

I will not deliberately tie a certain actor into my own circle, and if there is a need for certain productions, I will not only look for people in the upper circle.

Whoever can drive box office profits can come.

The place where they really unite lies in the upper financial circle. That interest is a closed loop, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter.

As for actors and directors, if they are not strong enough, they can only be said to be their tools.

Wen Zhang is like this, and so is Ma Yili, who can enjoy herself in both the Beijing and Shanghai circles.

So Xu Xin explained:

"Our factory's Yichuang Talent Center is divided into three sections. Directors, actors, and screenwriters are three major clubs. The screenwriter club is easy to understand. After the script is released, it will be directly submitted to the script library in the factory, and then there will be a special review team. Review. After the review is passed, the authority to shoot will be given to the director club. The director can find the works he is interested in in this script library. Then submit the application, approve it in the factory, issue a budget, form a crew, etc. Finally, the project After starting to form, the priority is to find actors from the actor club, which is such a process."

Wen Zhang was taken aback for a moment, and asked subconsciously:

"Then you are from the review team?"

"Well... it can be explained like this."

Xu Xin said with a smile.

He didn't say anything like "these scripts need my nod to shoot".

No need.

Wen Zhang's acting skills are definitely good...but he...he can't win by himself.

In other words, Xiying Studio "cannot tolerate" him.

Because his wife is Ma Yili, and even with him, he is a rare person in the Shanghai circle who can get resources in both Beijing and Shanghai circles.

But in the same way, he succeeds as Ma Yili, and loses as Ma Yili.

This time, "33 Days" itself was written by Niufeng, and the factory came to mix it up, so he was able to act it.

But if it is a script from the factory...it can be said that even if there is no male protagonist in the Northwest circle, he will not be used.

Even if his acting skills are good, acting skills belong to acting skills, and works belong to works.

In the current circle of factions and discussions, the nature is different.

And this is also the fundamental reason why the old man told him that the higher he stood, the greater the constraints on his body.

He can use Wen Zhang.

But he can't use it.

No one has stipulated that it cannot be used, but the rules are the rules, and if it cannot be used, it cannot be used.

Looks like nonsense, but that's what it is.

And Wen Zhang also heard what Xu Xin meant at this time...

I also understand that Director Xu is putting it away.

For the movie that Xiying Studio will make, the actors used must be actors from the Northwest Circle.

Although he is also from Shaanxi, but... he is not an actor in the Northwest Circle.

People say that they keep it, just to show mercy to themselves.

It's not that he doesn't know how to behave, so he smiled and nodded, but his heart was full of regret...

Sure enough, Director Xu's path didn't work.

If you want to go, you still have to go from the side against the wind.

But he was regretting, but these words of Xu Xin sounded different to Tang Yan.

Art Center…

Actors Club…

Double only.

Is she excited?

The answer is yes.

But in the same way, she is also facing a situation now, that is, the godfather's side.

It was the Shanghai circle that her godfather brought her into.

And now if she wants to jump to the northwest circle... the godfather's side also becomes an obstacle.

But compared with Wen Zhang, she has a slightly smaller burden.

Moreover, the reason why I was able to enter the Shanghai circle was essentially due to Orange Sky.

The godfather that Chengtian introduced to himself brought him in.

And now it is a foregone conclusion that she will leave Cheng Tian, Cheng Tian has no resources to give her. When the contract ended, she left alone, which made sense logically.

So, after Wenzhang "turned off the fire", she started to take over the topic:

"If you want to enter this actor's club...do you need any conditions?"

As soon as she said this, Xie Wei's ears moved.

Again, she has a straightforward personality...but it doesn't mean she's stupid.

From the time Wen Zhang spoke, the abacus of the two of them sounded...not to mention that she is beside her now. Even on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, you can hear it clearly.

It's just that she doesn't understand the helplessness and choice of the two standing in their respective positions.

To put it bluntly, the rank is too high, not a level that she, a former little transparent in the entertainment industry, can touch.

But this does not prevent her from making plans for her career.

At this moment, what she wants to know the most is...is the Actors Club in the Yichuang Center signed by the West Film Studio...or...people who have their own agency are also fine.

He has no choice but to do the former, because her contract still has two years left, and the liquidated damages will cost several million... She can't afford it, and she is not willing to pay it.

But if it's the latter...

Then she has to talk to Director Xu...

Well, how do you say that sentence... Gong... if you don't give up?

Anyway, that's probably what it means.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xin shrugged and said:

"If you really want to say... the hard entry requirement is to be admitted to Xiying's actor troupe. Once you enter the troupe, you will be automatically included in the actor club."

After finishing speaking, Xie Wei asked:

"As for the cast, do you want to terminate the contract with the original agency?"

"No need."

Xu Xin shook his head:

"Xiying's actor troupe is a formal national organization. In terms of business attributes, it is actually similar to the drama troupe of Renyi. The actor's brokerage company does not conflict with the actor troupe. After joining, it is equivalent to an employee of a state-owned enterprise. The business attributes of the two sides are not the same thing. Even if you join the group, if you star in a movie, the agent will negotiate the salary, and everything will go according to the normal process."

Xi Wei's eyes lit up instantly.

"So... I can enter too?"

"Yes, but you have to wait until March or April next year. This year's establishment recruitment has ended, and you will come in March and April next year. After passing the assessment, you will be able to announce your entry in October and November."

As he spoke, he asked back:

"Want to join?"

"Yeah! Think about it! Definitely think about it! Whether it's Director Xu... or in this period of time... the atmosphere in our factory is much more comfortable than outside."

In the corner of Tang Yan's twitching mouth, Xi Wei didn't finish the sentence in the slightest, and added:

"Before I debuted, my mother's biggest wish was that I could work in a state-owned enterprise... Now that's all right, I can directly satisfy her old man's wish, hehe."

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Xu Xin couldn't help but also laughed out loud.

He is also proud of Brother Seven's crisp energy.

So nodded:

"Then when the recruitment starts next year, just remember to come and fill out the form. Your acting skills..."

After thinking for a while, he said sharply:

"Very talented, but the basic skills are still relatively weak. It will be brilliant when you play a specific role that fits your appearance and personality, but works beyond this range will make people a little bit out of the play. To put it bluntly, the foundation is not solid enough, I haven't figured out my own suitable way of acting, and I haven't done hard work to study. You can ask some old actors in the factory for advice. Take the time to enrich yourself while it is still not finalized, otherwise...after 30 years old, you If you want to change again, once the audience has a fixed impression of you, it will be difficult."

Hearing this, Xie Wei subconsciously asked:

"Then do you teach? I read...Mimi's interview, she said that her acting skills were honed by you..."

"Haha, she's talking nonsense."

Xu Xin smiled and waved his hand:

"However, if you encounter any difficult characters in the future, you can come to me, I really know how to teach people..."

The voice fell, and the door was knocked.

Then, Yang Mi poked her head in:

"What are you talking about? I heard you laughing and laughing from a long distance away."

"Talking about the Art Creation Center... why are you here?"

"Send off Lao Wang, I was going to cook pork ribs for you at noon, and ride a bike to buy vegetables... He asked me to send him here in a hurry."

While talking, she walked in.

Followed by the young master with a chicken nest on his head.

"Sorry sorry, everyone, it's late."

Seeing this, Xu Xin handed over the last script directly:

"Then let's start directly. First look at the finished film after fine editing, and then start the dubbing work."

While speaking, he grabbed his wife's hand and led her to the seat beside him:

"You see it too?"

"OK."

Yang Mi has a casual face:

"The ribs for dinner?"

"OK."

Xu Xin agreed, while nodding to Zhu Huailiang, who was hanging a milk tea cup next to him and had been a little transparent for almost twenty minutes.

Old Zhu responded, turned on the projector, then got up and closed the only big curtain that illuminated the room.

The screening of "33 Days" officially begins.

No one is talking, it's just...

With the help of the light on the screen, Tang Yan glanced at Xu Xin who was sitting with Yang Mi...

Then quietly glanced at the seventh brother next to him.

For...why...

I seem to have missed a good opportunity to "express my feelings" directly.

What the **** am I...

What are you hesitating about?
