I'm a Director, I'm Not Bad Chapter 636

   Chapter 636 634. Great Onmyoji

   "Hello Director Xu, I want to know if you read the headlines of the entertainment section today? It's the one about movie news."

  In Wanda's SECRETX theater, a reporter finally asked this question.

  As for Xue Haifeng sitting on the stage, and the host next to him, there was no surprise.

  Everyone just unanimously focused their attention on Xu Xin.

  This problem cannot be avoided.

  Although Xu Xin communicated with Qi Lei in the morning, the matter was settled.

  But if we really have to wait for Xiying Studio's point of view to be brought out, it will be a few days later.

  Also, it is not the same thing to keep hiding from this kind of thing.

   Just kidding... It's not that I'm afraid of them.

  Why do you want to hide?

  Obviously, he is the one described by the media as "Lu Bu".

  So before going on stage, Xu Xin specifically explained that today's questions can be asked casually, and the host is responsible for controlling the situation. He will decide how to answer.

  So, with everyone's acquiescence, Xu Xin nodded, smiling, and then said with a smile at the reporter's words:

   "The news about the battle between the Three Kingdoms and Lu Bu, right?"

  He smiled calmly.

  Even though the reporters had raised their heads, thinking about whether they could find any exciting news, they all made movements of listening.

   But he is still very calm.

   Then I heard the reporter say:

"Yes, there was "Orphan of Zhao" this month... Although the box office of "Orphan of Zhao" was not satisfactory, it is still a movie with over 100 million yuan. Then "Let the Bullets Fly" made 3,000 at the box office on the first day Wan's good results, and "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" faced off against "If You Are the One 2" on the same day. I would like to know what you think about Director Feng Xiaogang choosing the same premiere date as "The Hawthorn Tree"? His actions were deemed..."

  Speaking of this, the reporter paused, and the sharpness of the words emerged:

   "A kind of provocation? The provocation from Hua Yi, Director Feng, and some film companies attacking "Love in the Hawthorn Tree". And do you have any response you want to tell them?"

  After this question was asked by the reporter, some colleagues present gave him courage and approval.

   Sure enough, there are always young people who want to make big things happen.

   Really awesome.

  Although I don't know if I will be able to see you in this three-acre land in Shanghai in the future...

   But come on, young man.

  We are all optimistic about you.

  Then...how will Xu Xin answer?

  The enemy has hit the door of the house...

  As everyone's eyes shifted, I heard Xu Xin say:

   "Actually, "If You Are the One" 1 is pretty good."

  He said:

"My impression is very clear. In the past, because we were busy with the Olympics, Yang Mi and I always got together less often. Every time we heard about a good movie and agreed to watch it together, when the date came, we would be called Some job changes at the Olympics were interrupted.

   Then after the Olympic Games were over, I started preparing for "The Wind", so the chances of the two of us going to the cinema were very small. But "If You Are the One" has left us two young people with good memories... I remember, the first part, they also chose around Christmas, I have a very clear impression that Yang Mi and I made an appointment first that day dinner, and then watch a movie together. Then after the movie ended, we talked about the concepts in Mr. Wang Shuo's literary works on the way back..."

   Facing countless reporters, he seemed to have no sense of time, and slowly told everyone the "story".

"Yang Mi told me a lot about her childhood. She is a native of Yanjing, and in the track of growth, Mr. Wang Shuo's "Stubborn Lord", "Stewardess", "Half Flame, Half Is Sea Water" are all her reading materials. As for the relationship between Director Feng and Mr. Wang Shuo, I don't need to mention it here.

  Even as a latecomer, from my point of view, it can almost be asserted that Mr. Wang Shuo's literary works have profoundly influenced many people, including Director Feng. It also includes a very typical story like "If You Are the One". "

   In front of everyone, he praised Wang Shuo all the time.

   But Xue Haifeng lowered his head and rubbed his nose at this moment.

   No, he wanted to laugh, but couldn't hold it anymore.

   Director Xu is too bad.

   This remark is obviously about Wang Shuo, but in fact...it's not detrimental, but it's yin and yang...not right, it's more like a high-level humorous joke about Feng Xiaogang or "Fei 2".

   "If You Are the One" 1, there is nothing about Wang Shuo.

  The screenwriter is Feng Xiaogang himself, and the actors are Ge You and Shu Qi.

  But Director Xu is right in saying something.

  That film is exactly the style of Wang Shuo, who is serious about the Eight Classics, laughing and cursing, teasing the poor.

  As for the relationship between Wang Shuo and Feng Xiaogang... Ma Modu's words are particularly appropriate.

   "These two people use each other."

  So, Wang Shuo had a deep influence on Feng Xiaogang, and vice versa.

  But if you make it clear that Feng Xiaogang is imitating Wang Shuo, then it will definitely not work.

  So director Xu uses "style" to talk about things, define, and tell others "the influence of Wang Shuo, the former leading brother".

   It seems like a boast.

   Moreover, no matter how generous Wang Shuo is, he must accept this kind of praise.

  Because Director Xu's daughter-in-law is from Yanjing, Director Xu did not say this, but "Yang Mi" said it through Director Xu's mouth.

   As for authenticity...it really doesn't matter.

  The important thing is that Yang Mi, who is from Yanjing, is qualified to say her preference for a literary writer in adolescence, and that is enough.

   There is nothing wrong with bragging about Wang Shuo.

  But this "If You Are the One 2" is a script written by Wang Shuo.

  Its excellence is just as it should be.

   But the reality is... "If You Are the One 1" is a very qualified commercial film. From the perspective of the script and the director, Feng Xiaogang should be credited.

   Director Xu seems to be talking about "1", but actually boasting about "2" is purely for Feng Xiaogang.

   Your film "1" is good, because it was influenced by Wang Shuo. The success of "2" is due to others.

  Want to be exclusive?

no way.

   Feng Xiaogang had to admit it when he said this.

  Did he deny it? Denying it is equivalent to denying Wang Shuo... Hey.

  Thinking of this, he rubbed his nose again.

   No, I can't hold back anymore.

  What is this? Two peaches kill three warriors?

   Hahahahaha.

   That's right.

   Really think Director Xu has no temper?

   And when he lowered his head and rubbed his nose, Xu Xin was still boasting:

"I like watching "If You Are the One" 1 very much, so I am also looking forward to the second part. As for the schedules you mentioned are all at the same time... To be honest, the fault is not Director Feng or Hua Yi, but is here with us.

  After the Venice Film Festival, everyone can see from films such as "Di Renjie" and "Chen Zhen", the best way is to take advantage of the heat of the film festival to start showings. But I think "The Hawthorn Tree" is very suitable for couples to watch together, so I chose to release it on Christmas Eve. The release time of "If You Are the One 1" is around Christmas.

  The reason why the 22nd was chosen is also because the movie's golden box office breakout period began on the third day after the movie was released. From a commercial point of view, the 22nd is Wednesday, the 24th Christmas Eve is Friday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday... This is the best period for a movie box office explosion from a commercial point of view. So I understand the life of "If You Are the One" very well, because it is the same as what we think. "

  Waving his hands at the reporters, he said with a smile:

"There is no provocation or other relationship. There must be competition, but who would refuse healthy competition? In essence, everyone hopes to give the audience a gift at Christmas... I will not even tell you that, I plan to watch "If You Are the One 2" with Yang Mi on Christmas Day.

  That is one of our particularly fond memories as a couple.

  Yang Mi likes Wang Shuo very much. The only thing we both worry about now is that we won't get tickets, so... I'm here to shout to Director Feng from the air, and leave two tickets for the younger generation. I also hope that "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" and "If You Are the One 2" can jointly bring you an unforgettable Christmas. "

   "Ahem."

  Xue Haifeng lowered his head and coughed twice.

   No, I can't hold back anymore.

   Rao is that he has seen all kinds of intrigues and intrigues, but it is a bit unbearable for him to hear that Director Xu is yin and yang here.

  Why didn't I find out before…

  Director Xu is a great onmyoji.

   Taking retreat as an advance, obviously I set the number 22 first. But the words turned into "my fault". After taking a step back, she reminded everyone that Yang Mi liked Wang Shuo very much.

   Let's play the role of a backward person, everyone is a friendly army, I will fully support your movie...

   Director Xu showed a smiling face.

  Can you fight?

beat? Lost hearts.

Do not hit? A junior can cheer for your movie... don't you also have to put on a show of tolerance?

  I cheer for you, don't you have to cheer for me?

  If you don't work hard, you just don't give face. Then at that time, just put a "stingy" hat on your head, it may not have a particularly serious impact... But it should be possible to make you less tens of millions.

  The most important thing is... a few words, people are impeccable.

  Be gentle, courteous and frugal, let me make it clear to you.

  And the most important thing is... Director Xu didn't mention Wang Shuo in these words, but he couldn't leave Wang Shuo in every word.

   It is clear that it is only boasting but not criticizing.

   But you, Feng Xiaogang, want to take the credit for nothing?

  No doors.

  Wang Shuo is a little downcast now, but he was kind to you back then. You, Feng Xiaogang, have secured your position as the leading brother in the Beijing circle, and Wang Shuo is indeed avoiding him for the time being.

  But Wang Shuo's character... the boss, his second child. The typical attitude of the "uncle" in the Beijing circle.

   Now that the credit is in hand, and the intention to rise, there will be infighting in the Beijing circle... At least, some people feel a little blocked.

  Director Xu's trick...

   Wonderful.

   Wonderful!

  At the press conference, Xu Xin played an impeccable card.

  No way, there are too many cards.

  The rank is high.

   When it comes to the art of language, these reporters have not been exposed to one-third of the people he usually contacts.

   It's not even safe to say.

  Under the deliberate guidance of the host, the topic began to shift towards Liu Yifei and Lin Xunxin.

   Now that the gossip is over, let's start talking about movies.

  So, while talking and laughing, this media meeting was wiped out.

  After completing the trip tonight in Shanghai, "The Hawthorn Tree" will go to Hangzhou, where there will also be a trial screening and an interview with NetEase. It all ends in the morning. After the morning, everyone will return to Shanghai to participate in the talk show here.

   Then return to Yanjing and so on...

  The stroke is very tight and dense.

  The biggest purpose of this trip to Shanghai has actually been achieved.

  That is to say the matter of forming an investment company.

   In fact, it is not impossible to talk on the phone, but some things are not as effective as talking on the phone alone.

   And when the trial screening of "The Hawthorn Tree" was over and Xu Xin and others, who had finished interacting with the audience, walked out of the screening hall with a smile, it was after 5 o'clock.

  Wanda's work meal is arranged. After the arrangement, there will be a media premiere in the evening.

   It's okay to have an empty stomach.

   You have to eat enough to have the strength to work.

  As for Yang Mi, after playing games all afternoon, she was also hungry in Sun Ting's car and headed to the hotel.

   Tang Yan invited her to dinner.

  Purpose...unknown.

   Besides, there was no one else, such as Xi Wei did not shout, and even when Yang Mi arrived in the designated box, she found that even Tang Yan's assistant was not around.

  Thus, Yang Mi had an idea, and Sun Ting went to have dinner with Tang Yan's assistant as a matter of course.

   There are only two people left in the box.

  Tang Yanding's restaurant serves western food, which is not extravagant and wasteful, and it is very suitable for conversation.

  After taking her seat, Yang Mi wiped her hands with a wet towel, glanced at the bottle of red wine in front of her, and said:

   "Let's drink less, shall we? We'll still have a milk baby when we get home."

"OK."

   Tang Yan nodded in agreement, and then took the initiative to bring a cup to help her pour wine.

   Seeing this, the waitress behind her was about to step forward to help, but Yang Mi waved her politely:

   "Let's have a chat, just come by yourself. You can come in while waiting for the food to be served later, thank you for your hard work."

  The waiter immediately understood the meaning and responded with a smile:

   "Okay, Ms. Yang."

   Then he walked out of the box, and at the same time he had to praise his colleagues:

   "Yang Mi seems to be very kind to others."

   When there was no one in the box, Yang Mi picked up the pre-dinner bread given in the basket, broke off a piece and ate it while asking:

   "How is the dubbing work? Is it over?"

   "Tomorrow is the last half day of finishing, and then mine will be completely over."

  The two sat at a square table, the table is not particularly wide, it is very suitable for friends to get together.

   While she was speaking, Yang Mi had already pushed the basket in front of her.

   means to chat while eating.

  She was actually a little uncertain about what Tang Yan would ask her to do, but...it doesn't matter. Anyway, time is still long, this is just the beginning.

   But this kind of thing has to find a topic... After asking about work, Yang Mi changed the subject and said the worst thing about her recently:

   "Didn't you notice that Liu Yifei is already fat?"

  The corner of Tang Yan's mouth twitched.

   "Oops, I'm getting bored to death."

  Shuangwei's boss is full of "dissatisfaction":

   "She really let herself go! There are still so many resources waiting for her in the future... Fortunately, she is like this, and she can't even shoot commercials. I am so mad!"

   Tang Yan thought for a while and said:

   "She has gained a lot of weight, how much does she weigh now?"

   "Kiki said it was close to one hundred and three...Ah! I'm so **** off!"

   The bread that was torn and eaten one by one was severely bitten.

"In Xu Xin's words, Swiss chocolate has caught up with chemical fertilizers!! When the promotional period of her "Hawthorn Tree" is over, I hired a body teacher for her. This time, she has to lose weight! The two endorsements are about to take effect, and the magazines and commercials haven't been filmed yet. If I show people this image, I'm really afraid that those two endorsements will ask me to return the product.”

  Hearing this, Tang Yan asked curiously:

   "Which endorsement did Liu Yifei accept?"

   "Tissot and Kazilan. Both will be officially announced next year."

   Tang Yan was silent again, and asked:

   "How much is her endorsement fee?"

"Forty million."

   Tang Yan was stunned:

"How many?"

   "Forty million."

  Yang Mi has a calm face:

   "Tissot's quotation is 15 million for two years, and Kazilan's price is 25 million for three years."

   Tang Yan's expression became completely exciting.

  Her endorsement fee, the most expensive one on her body so far, is 3 million for Yili Yogurt...

   And Liu Yifei's endorsement fee...

  Yang Mi, seeing her strange expression, knew what she was thinking, and waved her hand:

   "Don't be surprised, she is Liu Yifei. When she was popular, we were still making soy sauce."

  It's okay if she doesn't say this, but when she mentions it... Tang Yan is even more speechless:

   "That's too high... Uh... I don't mean anything else, I mean this price. Compared with Mimi, your endorsement is compared to hers..."

   "Our routes are different."

  Yang Mi directly shook her head:

"I don't have many endorsements right now. Adi's contract expires at the end of this year, Mengniu is next year, and some other endorsements were signed a few years ago to make money. But so far this year, I haven't signed a single endorsement. But next year I will There are indeed a few endorsements to be made, but none of them are domestic brands.”

   Tang Yan was taken aback:

   "Are you going to order high-end?"

"Um."

   Without hiding anything, Yang Mi nodded:

"Lancome and Dior are fighting for me now. If nothing goes wrong with the shoes, it's Christian Louboutin. As for the clothes, I didn't win the LV, but Sister Bingbing got it. So I changed to Alexander Forti. Then... Out of nowhere, Volvo is looking for me and Xu Xin... But I asked his opinion, he is not interested. In fact, the most regretful thing this year is Chanel... Mr. Zhou is indeed loved by Chanel, and he doesn't even pay attention to me..."

  Although it was a small talk, from the words, Tang Yan still intuitively felt the strong endorsement resources of the..."Master" in front of him.

  You can tell by listening to her.

  Lancome and Dior, the shoes are Christian Louboutin, the ancestor who invented the "red-soled high heels", and the clothes are Alexander Forti...

  These brands include blue blood, red blood, and upstart...

   And they are all big international brands.

this…

   "Mimi, do you still look at domestic brands?"

   "Basically don't read it."

  Yang Mi shook her head:

"Actually, I don't have any stereotypes about domestic products...but that's what we actresses are fighting for. Who has more endorsements, big brands, etc. I'm currently in the stage of brand optimization. I can only consider after signing all these endorsements next year. Domestic products, otherwise, if you carry too many brands on your body, your brand value will be compromised. Rare things are more expensive.”

   "The jewelry thing..."

   "I am not suitable for this kind of endorsement."

  Yang Mi continued to shake her head:

"My face is not that kind of... very angry face. In fact, the most regrettable thing is here. Sister Bingbing's Cartier is about to expire, and she keeps pushing me. But I really don't look good when I wear jewelry. According to Xu Xin's words, It looks like a fairy... I think it will take five or six years to have that kind of graceful and luxurious temperament. So I have pushed it, including Swarovski, and so on. Instead of discounting the effect, it is better to Maintain "purity", right? So now I let Liu Yifei fight, but she..."

   A person's name cannot be mentioned.

  As soon as it was mentioned, Yang Mi's teeth itch with hatred.

   Now that things have happened, Tang Yan doesn't know what to say anymore.

  From the beginning to the end, the two of them...or the brands that Mimi herself mentioned, are all brands that can make actresses very excited if they pick them up casually.

  I don't have one.

  People have begun to pick and choose to choose those brands that are beneficial to them.

  What is this?

  Drought to death, flooded to death?

  I'm still worrying about making money, people have already started to wrestle with Gao She.

  Unavoidably, a wry smile appeared on her face:

   "The gap between you and us is getting bigger..."

  Yang Mi didn't refute this.

  Because what she said was the truth...

   But this fact is not accurate.

   It is more accurate to say that from the moment everyone gets to know each other, their own starting point is different from others.

   But it hurts too much to say it.

   As for Yang Mi, seeing that the conversation has reached this point, she simply asked:

   "Tangtang, what are you calling me out for dinner today? What difficulties did you encounter? Tell me, I will help if I can."

"Well…"

  Tang Yan came back to his senses...

  Although her original intention was not to chat now, but to drink some wine with everyone, so as to strike while the iron is hot when the atmosphere is hot.

   But looking at Yang Miguang eating bread, the red wine is calm...

   Tang Yan, who had already let himself miss many opportunities because of hesitation, simply... decided to have a good time.

  So, after a little thought, she said:

   "Mimi... Is your company still short of people? My contract expires in July next year..."

   One sentence, Yang Mi understood what she meant.

  Accident?

   Actually okay.

  In Shuangwei's current company, there are indeed serious faults.

  The chubby Liu Xiaozhu "gained power once". After winning the best newcomer in Venice and getting rid of the criticism of her acting skills, the rippling "blood" in her huge fan base began to flourish.

   Countless film contracts began to fly to the company.

  But... this guy who killed a thousand swords did not know who he learned from, but he started to show badly!

  I would rather go to the countryside to farm than work!

oops! I'm so mad!

   But no matter what, Yang Mi will not force Liu Yifei.

   On the one hand, it was her friend.

  On the other hand... She knew that her husband liked Liu Yifei's attitude very much.

From his slightly selfish point of view, when an actor is acting, he should spend no less than the preparation time of the crew to thoroughly understand the role he plays, and then completely burn himself in the play, dedicating all his energy to the role In body and mind.

   And he is my husband.

  His preference and attitude towards actors also determines Shuangwei's demand for actors.

  Money is not as important as acting skills.

   At least these people in the company must be like this.

   As for how you want to arrange it after you open your own studio in the future, that is everyone's own will.

  Even if they are desperately trying to make money, but they have a set of diamond bones made in the company, these people will not be far behind.

  So, as long as the artist's contract is still in the company, she must continue her husband's will and turn everyone into an "elite".

  You may not be well-known, but your own strength must be strong enough.

   Brackets: Except Yang Ying.

  I use her for communication.

  So the resources on Yang Ying are favors that Shuangwei must give.

   Good or bad doesn't matter.

  Except for Liu Yifei, who was born and built by Yang Mi, everyone else in the company is still in the initial stage of their careers.

  Try more different roles and hone your basic skills, which is more important than anything else.

  This has led to the extreme development of the company.

  She herself wants to optimize her own resources, Liu Yifei is from Buddhism to the point of becoming a ball...

   But Baozi, Jiaojiao, and Lin Gou are still training at the "bottom level".

  According to Yang Mi's own thinking, after Shishi came in, she pushed all the things that could be used and those that could not be used to her.

   Let her become the successor who wants to be a father.

  Otherwise...it's really a waste to others.

  But now the meaning behind Tang Yan's words made her develop another possibility.

   Give Shishi too many resources, she will definitely suffer from indigestion.

  What will happen if there is one more Tang Yan?

   Rice can be eaten with poetry.

  Eat as much as you want.

   But in case she can't eat something, it's not a waste...

  And at this stage, if there is another person to help Shishi share the burden, and then step by step, it will be like a table of delicious food falling from the room on the first floor...

   She also understands the two sides of this matter.

   On the one hand, this will lead to the egoism of survival of the fittest among people in the company.

   On the other hand, this kind of competition... can actually express a truth.

   "Let yourself shine, is the only way to make darkness weak."

  If this kind of "pyramid" is built, then if the people below want to be full, they must desperately let themselves survive in this pyramid of the entertainment industry.

   But wanting to live, on the one hand, is to see if he has Dahong's life.

  On the other hand... With this kind of life, if there is no acting support, then at most it will be full.

   They want to have a full meal, and "acting skills" are the only weapon they can rely on.

  As the boss, she can allocate resources more effectively.

   It is in the interests of the boss.

   On the other hand, it is possible to maintain the activity within the company...

   Continuously output this kind of top-notch elite soldiers.

   And when the upper class is too crowded, kick them out, open their own studios, and make their own money.

   Clear the space and continue to wait for the people below to come out...

Huh?

  Thinking about it this way...

   It seems... not bad.

  My husband wants this circle to have a lower limit.

That…

   Give him a lower limit of support!

  Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Yang Mi's eyes:

   "Tang Tang~"

"…ah?"

   "I said I've been craving you for a long time, do you believe me?"

  For some reason, although Tang Yan also knew that Mimi was joking, and through this joke, she showed a kind of "intimacy" towards herself.

  But... for no reason.

  A sudden coolness flashed across her back.

   Inexplicable.

strange…

  It was as if the opponent was no longer Mimi, but some scourge.
