I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 79
"Mr. Shen, hello, I'm Yang Mi, a friend of Xu Xin. I'm sorry to trouble you, but I came here to pick me up..."

In the palace wall road.

Yang Mi hurriedly expressed her thanks.

Upon hearing this, Assistant Shen was also very polite, and said with a smile:

"It's okay, the main thing is that Teacher Xu is busy there, and he can't get out. Miss Yang, you are welcome. If you need it in the future, let Teacher Xu talk to me. I will help you get a pass. It is convenient to come here. .”

"...Thank you, Teacher Shen."

"Haha, you're welcome...it's over there, let's go."

"All right."

Yang Mi followed his footsteps and sighed in her heart...

They are all human beings.

Wang Zhu wanted to confirm his...or Xu Xin's identity, so he sent a driver over to have a look.

In fact, Director Zhang Yimou's assistant doesn't even need to come out, as long as Xu Xin comes over and brings himself in.

It is the best proof that I have contacted the crew of "Golden Armor".

She thought Xu Xin understood herself...

It's just that I didn't expect that the other party not only understood, but even sent a heavyweight person.

Although I don't know how he discussed with Assistant Shen.Maybe the assistant of director Zhang Yimou came out and reported his family first... This shows that Xu Xin must have guessed what he meant, and at the same time gave a rich feedback that far exceeded expectations.

He even hired director Zhang Yimou's assistant to cooperate with the play!
This is director Zhang Yimou's assistant!
As the saying goes, one person rises to heaven, so why should Wang Zhu and the others be just assistants on the set, but everyone, including the actors, want to give him three points?

Isn't it because he is Zhang Jizhong's assistant?

The assistant is the most important person with the artist. If nothing else is mentioned, just say that in the public relations of my company, Rong Xinda, there are people who do assistant work.

In the entertainment industry, perhaps the most overlooked position by outsiders is that of an artist's assistant.

But in fact, it is this group of people that cannot be ignored the most.

The little artist is fine.

Who is the assistant of a great artist who is not polite to see him?

Not to mention Zhang Yimou...

Thinking of this, Yang Mi panicked for no reason...

She always felt that Xu Xin was exaggerating with her "cowhide" this time...

Really blown up.

When they were a little flustered, finally, the two came to a palace square.

I also saw the crew moving things out of the palace.

"Huh? Are you done shooting the content inside?"

Assistant Shen was a little surprised.

Yang Mi was completely dumbfounded...

Because she saw someone.

Zhou Renfa!
Zhou Renfa was walking down the steps supported by several staff members!
He watched helplessly as the golden opponent turned into a tent.

She just came back to her senses...

Then I saw Gong Li who was the mother of the world.

Who is that?
Oh yes...it seems to be called Liu Ye.

God!

Jay Chou! ! !
Jay Chou! ! ! ! !
For no reason, her calves began to tremble a little.

Not afraid.

I want to rush over to ask for an autograph and a group photo...

But these people are surrounded by the staff, those who should put on makeup, and those who should change their clothes.

Along the way, when the two of them stepped up the steps, the shock in Yang Mi's heart and the eyes that had been staring at Jay Chou had gradually turned into a kind of apprehension.

What about Xu Xin?
What about Xu Xin?

Just as she was thinking, she and Assistant Shen had already arrived on the steps.

"Teacher Xu is here."

Standing at the entrance of the main hall, Assistant Shen pointed to the corner next to the door.

Yang Mi subconsciously poked her head inside, and at the first glance she saw Xu Xin who was bent over his desk and didn't know what he was doing...but immediately her second glance was aimed at the person standing beside Xu Xin...

Wearing a simple long-sleeved shirt and a peaked cap, he supported the table with one hand, facing himself, and pointed at the place where Xu Xin buried his head with the other hand...

That is……

open……

Zhang Yimou! ! ! ! !
In an instant, the girl felt that her brain was a little short of oxygen.

A somewhat excited and somewhat absurd idea popped up in my heart.

Won't……

won't really introduce me and...

and……

Do you know Director Zhang... Director Zhang?

She was in a trance all of a sudden.

At this moment, a voice sounded:
"Student Yang?"

Yang Mi turned her head instinctively, and when she saw the short-haired sister, she subconsciously greeted her politely:

"Hello, Miss Wei..."

Upon hearing this voice, Xu Xin turned his head away.

"Hey, are you here?"

Seeing Yang Mi standing at the door with straightened eyes, Xu Xin smiled.

And when he turned his head, Zhang Yimou also turned his head.

Then I saw the strange girl at the door.

At the same time, several people heard Xu Xin's words:

"Director Zhang, she is Yang Mi, my classmate...a good friend. I got the inspiration when I saw her this afternoon."

"..."

After Zhang Yimou heard the words, his brows suddenly frowned.

Yang Mi panicked suddenly.

The body is stiff.

Seeing Director Zhang look him up and down, his brows slowly loosened, and he asked Xu Xin:

"Actor too?"

"Yeah. It's also a source of inspiration~"

"Hmm... The appearance is good. Look back, if there is a suitable role, you can try... Are you just waiting for my words?"

As soon as Zhang Yimou lowered his head, he saw Xu Xin's grin.

First he was taken aback, then he gave him an annoyed look:
"Hurry up and draw!"

Under Yang Mi's ecstatic and unbelievable eyes, Xu Xin smiled:
"Okay~"

……

"Miss Wei..."

Standing outside the hall, Yang Mi looked at the scene where Brother Fa was walking up the steps holding Gong Li's hand in the filming of the crew, and asked cautiously:
"Xu Xin...is...in Director Zhang's team...what the hell is he doing?"

"Did Xiao Xu not tell you?"

Wei Lanfang was a little surprised.

"...Not much to say."

Hearing this, Wei Lanfang nodded:
"Xiao Xu is very good, she is a member of the creative team."

"...as powerful as you?"

Wei Lanfang was amused.

Xin said that this girl can speak.

But still shook his head:

"I am the project negotiator for the opening and closing ceremonies. I am responsible for coordinating the relationship between various departments. I am not a member of the creative team. He is amazing~"

"..."

Yang Mi instinctively looked into the hall.

Unfortunately, Wei Lanfang didn't let her get close.

Because of secrecy.

Except for the team members, even that Assistant Shen just now couldn't get close.

"but……"

At this moment, Wei Lanfang suddenly looked at her:

"If his current design plan can pass, student Yang...although it is a bit exaggerated to say it, but if it really passes, then as the inspiration for Xiao Xu, you should feel honored."

"Uh……"

Yang Mi was puzzled.

But Wei Lanfang didn't say much, just smiled and said:
"I have a good relationship with Xu Xin, that's why I told you, but please don't tell others, do you have to keep it secret?"

"Well, I understand."

She nodded quickly, but couldn't help herself, and asked in a low voice:

"Sister Wei... can you tell me how Xu Xin... joined?"

"Want to know?"

Wei Lanfang rolled his eyes, on the one hand, he was satisfied with Xiao Xu's job of keeping secrets well.

After all, if it was such a big deal, other young people would have been impatient to show it off.

Talk to your family first, then your friends...

But this beautiful girl who knew at a glance that she was not ordinary to Xiao Xu seemed to know nothing about it...

Ok.

It seems that I can share more secrets with Xiao Xu in the future.

The boy has a hard mouth~
So, after thinking about it, she said:

"I can't tell you too much about the extra, I can only say that he was brought by director Yu Zhen from your school."

"Uh……"

"At first, it seemed that he came here as a driver, and then he sat there to listen that night, and he drew a few plans, and then he was seen by Director Zhang. Later, Director Zhang one afternoon... what date is it? I forgot I remember it was Monday. At noon on Monday, Director Yu Zhen called him and asked him to come. At that time, Director Zhang was looking for him. I remember that it was after three o’clock when he arrived. Director Zhang directly Take his sketches and ask him to explain, and the plan he said has been approved by many people, Director Zhang broke the rules and let him join the job."

"……on Monday?"

Suddenly, Yang Mi was taken aback.

Wei Lanfang nodded:

"Yes, Monday. It seems to be the tenth day? I can't remember."

But she didn't realize that Yang Mi's claws were numb.

If you want to mention other days, maybe she doesn't have much memory yet.

But "Monday" is a day she remembers very clearly recently.

The first Monday of the month is March 3th.

Shocked.

I had a full-day class that day, and the "Film and Television Theory" class in the afternoon was taught by several departments together.

Xu Xin is also there.

So definitely remove it.

And the second Monday is the 13th.

On that day, she intercepted Xu Xin who was about to leave school at noon, and dragged herself to the photo studio to get photos. After finishing her work, she went to Xu Xin... but the other party suddenly said that she would go to work with Teacher Yu, and then said a lot. A "secret".

And it was from then until I met him in Hengdian.

For the past ten days or so, he was always busy.

That is to say, everything started from the day "Monday the 13th"!

That is to say...

"Miss Wei, is it number 13?"

"what?"

Wei Lanfang thought for a while, and suddenly realized:
"Yes, yes, on the 13th. Director Zhang suddenly returned to Yanjing on the 11th. Indeed, it was the 13th."

"..."

Yang Mi suddenly shook her body...

A surge of blood pressure rushed straight to the sky.

"……What happened to you?"

Wei Lanfang hurriedly asked.

Because the other party didn't know why, his face suddenly turned red, but immediately turned pale again.

Then there was a wry smile:
"It's okay...no...it's okay..."

"???"

Wei Lanfang was a little curious, but Jay Chou had already put on a silver armor.As soon as she came out of the tent, she immediately hooked her soul away:
"Hey, Jay Chou, look!"

"Uh……"

My mind was full of the intricacies of "I almost delayed him" intertwined with emotion and guilt. After hearing this, Yang Mi glanced at the little-eyed Heavenly King in armor...

For some reason, I lost all interest in it.

At this moment, her eyes were extremely dull, because a thought appeared in her heart... filled with guilt and speechlessness, but more of a moving thought.

Are you stupid! !Director Zhang is looking for you, why do you care about my life?Let's go see Director Zhang first...

Are you stupid!
Is it silly~~
annoying!

What if I delay you!
……

"Probably that's it, Director Zhang."

dark.

Xu Xin, who was fighting at night with the lights on, took out a sketch.

In the sketch, above the high-rise buildings and the bird's nest, the footprints composed of dots of fireworks are running in the void step by step.

vivid.

After getting it in front of Zhang Yimou, he was a little dazzled and looked into the corner.

The girl with her schoolbag on her lap looked at him with complicated eyes.

"?"

Why this expression?
He was a little puzzled, but he didn't care, but turned around and said:
"But while I was drawing, I thought about it... I always felt that it was really appropriate to use footprints... Think about it, the long lens focused, and bang, the big footprints lifted into the sky, a total of 29... across the ancient city of Yanjing The night sky of the city. These 29 footprints represent the inheritance of the Olympic spirit and the history of this peaceful event that wants to replace war. It is not a torch, but its inheritance significance must be higher than the torch!"

"..."

Zhang Yimou didn't speak.

Just looking at this picture, the brows were twisted into a twist.

Xu Xin didn't say anything, just lit a cigarette.

Logically speaking, smoking is not allowed in this place...but there is no ghost at the moment.

Trade with confidence.

In the effort of one cigarette, Zhang Yimou gathered the drawing paper and handed it to Xu Xin again.

"It's almost over here, we'll have a meeting later."

"clear."

"...Xiao Xu."

"what?"

"Good job!"

"Then... the role of my classmate and Jay Chou's [-] autographs..."

"No...huh?"

Suddenly, Zhang Yimou was taken aback.

As if he didn't hear clearly, he looked at the young man in front of him:
"What the hell? What signature?"

Xu Xin is happy...

"hey-hey."

Pointing at Wei Lanfang and Yang Mi:
"You don't know yet, do you? Sister Wei and Director Ma, the three of us, blocked Jay Chou down there that night. Director Ma has already bought a hundred CDs...just waiting for you to speak..."

"..."

Zhang Yimou was speechless for a moment.

He stared straight at the direction Xu Xin was pointing at.

Yang Mi thought she was looking at her, and subconsciously stood up cautiously.

But in fact, he didn't know that Director Zhang stared at Wei Lanfang with ridiculous eyes...

"Forget about Xiao Wei, what are you and Ma Wen doing?"

"...Director Ma also likes Jay Chou."

"What about you? Why are you joining in the fun?"

"Both sisters like them, I have to like them, they are forcing me to come to you and tell you..."

"..."

Zhang Yimou was speechless.

Completely speechless.

I asked you to do the Olympics, and you came to chase my stars?

It's fine if it's one or two.

There is no need to nod, for the sake of a crew, the other party will not refuse.

But you get a hundred at a time?

No wonder you asked me to say...

"You young men... oh."

Zhang Yimou was helpless.

……

At 8:[-], all posters and test shots were over.

Everyone packed up their things and prepared to leave.

And to say that what touched Yang Mi the most was actually the box lunch in the crew...

Although she dare not say that she eats crew lunches every day, there are so many crews from small to large, there are eighty if not a hundred kinds of box lunches.

After six o'clock, the crew delivered a boxed lunch.

Of course she has one.

But that boxed lunch is obviously different from ordinary boxed lunches...

The other box lunches are the very common foam boxes, one box of lunch and one box of vegetables per person, and a chicken leg at most.

But the crew lunch box of "The Golden Flower" is that kind of square box.

It's like a simple meal sold in the city.

Two meat and two vegetables.

It's not a chicken leg with any hair left on the skin that hasn't been cleaned. One of the two meats is braised pork and the other is braised octopus.

One of the two vegetarian dishes is roasted vegetables and the other is roasted tofu.

Not to mention the food, there is also a bucket of bone soup delivered together with the lunch box.

Whoever wants to drink will take a disposable cup to serve it.

When Yang Mi went to serve it, she found that there were bones and flesh underneath...

The quantity is really not small.

Really rich.

She was a little emotional.

Comparing the food of "Shen Condor Crew" with this one, it's like heaven and earth.

But Xu Xin didn't eat dinner.

By the time he finished painting, it was dark.

Yang Mi originally said to leave a box for him, but Wei Lanfang didn't let her go at all.

Instead, he asked after he went over and got an answer of "don't eat".

It's almost 9 o'clock.

The crew finally prepared to return from the film and television city.

Then, Zhang Yimou said something special to Wei Lanfang:
"Let Xiao Xu and that classmate Yang get into my car."

So, Yang Mi tremblingly boarded Zhang Yimou's car.

She was on the left in the last row, Xu Xin sat in the middle, and Wei Lanfang sat on the right.

In front are still Cheng Xiaodong and Zhang Yimou.

Along the way, Yang Mi didn't dare to speak, she seemed extremely nervous.

At the same time, I dare not say that my back hurts...

Burning pain.

Can only choose to endure.

And he didn't dare to stick his back against the back seat, so he could only bow his waist.

And Xu Xin seemed a little tired. After getting in the car, he leaned back on the back seat and closed his eyes.

Then, when the car was on the rickety road, Yang Mi suddenly felt his shoulders sink.

Xu Xin, who was asleep, turned his head to this side for some reason.

"..."

She froze at first.

But immediately relaxed.

Pursing his lips, he pressed his back against the seat in the dark.

It hurts.

But I can bear it.

Then she asked about a smell that didn't belong to her.

It smells good...and she feels very happy in her heart.

It wasn't because Xu Xin was leaning on his shoulder... To be honest, this feeling of being pressed on his shoulder and the burning pain in his back must be uncomfortable.

She was happy because the car directed by Zhang Yimou was an old version of the Ford RV. She had been in the new model once, and the three-seater in the back row had been changed to two, with a center console in the middle.Although it can be stowed, it is definitely not as comfortable as two people sitting for three people.

She is happy with this.

At least... the three of them are not uncomfortable sitting in this old version of the car.

The vehicle continued on the dark road.

In another car, Jay Chou and his manager Zhao Shaowei frowned at the same time.

Zhao Shaowei turned his head to look at the fat girl with glasses, frowned and asked:

"Dani, why didn't you say this earlier?"

The chubby girl named Dani shook her head:

"Brother Shaowei, it's not that I didn't mention it, it's... indeed, Ah Zheng and the others came here according to the company's instructions. Brother JAY came to the mainland this time to star in Director Zhang's movie, and he has a lot of topics. In order to better To protect him, that's what Brother Junrong said~ He was saying that this person really had nothing to prove his identity at that time..."

"Dani!"

Zhao Shaowei directly interrupted her words, ignored Jay Chou, and said to her seriously:
"You have to remember, you are JAY's assistant first, and then you are the staff of the company, understand?"

"But……"

Dani naturally understands this truth, but still wants to say something.

And at this moment, Jay Chou said:

"It's okay, Young Viagra."

Zhao Shaowei was taken aback for a moment, thinking he didn't care, and said quickly:
"JAY, don't take it seriously. You saw at the scene today, the relationship between this person and director Zhang Yimou..."

"I know. But I think since it's a misunderstanding... then it's good to let it go~ It's our fault, so let's apologize."

Recalling that chic fadeaway jumper, Jay Chou shook his head:
"It's okay, I'll find a chance to talk to him. Don't blame Dani for this... But, Dani."

He turned to the other side again:
"What Brother Shaowei said is right. We are still newcomers in the film industry. We can't develop that kind of...arrogance, right? That's the Olympic Games, and the people who can be selected there must be very powerful people. So we have to learn to be humble. This applies to both strangers and fans. Got it?"

Don't look at Dani's dissatisfaction with Zhao Shaowei, because the two parties are in a cooperative relationship, and she is a staff member of Alpha Company.

But when Jay Chou spoke, she must listen:

"...Understood, Brother JAY."

"Well, Brother Shaowei, Dani, I have already mentioned her, I know what you mean, we will definitely get in touch in the past few months, believe me, I will tell him when the time comes~"

He gave each of them a step.

Then he took matters into his own hands.

And Zhao Shaowei obviously knew his style... so there was still some worry in his eyes.

He is Jay Chou's agent in mainland China. Although he dare not say that he is very familiar with the film and television industry, he still has a basic understanding.Hearing this, although he can believe that Jay Chou can handle it well... But he is more worried that his subordinates will have trouble.

Because these people were sent directly from Wanwan Province.

In fact, according to common sense, there is no need to be so troublesome, and the security personnel can also prepare on his side.

But there is a secret in it that others don't know much about.

That is the current Alpha parent company... It is no longer the Alpha company founded by Wu Zhongxian.

In 2002, Wu Zhongxian sold Alpha Company, which owns Jay Chou, to Haoledi Group for [-] million Taiwan dollars (about [-] million yuan).

Leaving aside the matter of Wu Zhongxian and Jay Chou, Jay Chou now faces a very important decision, that is, his contract with Alpha is only 7 years.

2000, to 2007.

In other words, next year, his contract is about to expire.

And in these six years, Jay Chou has one album a year, and won countless awards, and his popularity has begun to change from "Little Heavenly King" to "Heavenly King". He has huge popularity and fans in the entire dynasty. Base.

The expiration of his contract was a very sensitive implementation.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that as early as three years ago, someone had already contacted him.

Since this year, Alpha's parent company has been wanting to renew his contract.

But... from meeting his mentor, Bole, to skyrocketing... to selling [-] million as a "gift"...

Whether some people are good or things are good, this young man who usually doesn't talk much understands it very clearly.

Therefore, he has always adopted an evasive attitude towards the issue of contract renewal.

But it was because of this attitude that all the staff at Alpha Company became nervous.

It even published an order in the newspaper, telling everyone that "Jay Chou's contract is still with us, any company that contacts him is illegal, and they will pursue legal responsibility."

But what's the use?
Pursue legal responsibility?

How much can I be fined?
Is there money that Jay Chou can't make back?

It is precisely because of this that Alpha simply replaced everyone in Jay Chou's team with his own members this time.

Even if it wasn't that I was the mainland agent company that signed the actor contract with the director Zhang Yimou's crew, then maybe I wouldn't even be there this time, but would directly be replaced by a person from Alpha Company.

What are they going to do?
The answer is simple.

Block all the possibility of Jay Chou meeting other people.

This is especially true for people from some brokerage companies.

Strictly guard against death.

Even Dani, who had followed him not long after her debut, was ordered to die by the company.

That's why he said "you are Jay Chou's assistant first, and then you are from Alpha Company".

Zhao Shaowei doesn't care whether Jay Chou will renew his contract with Alpha's parent company.

Because there are still three or four years before the contract signed between my company and the other party.

In the past few years of contact, he discovered that the other party is actually a very smart and very affectionate person.

It is not so much the employment relationship between artists and managers, but becoming friends is a more long-term development.

So all his plans are for Jay Chou.

But this time...

He couldn't even reach out.

He even made insinuations about what the other party thought about renewing the contract.

pity……

Facing him, the other party also kept silent.

If he doesn't talk, no one dares to force him.

Here's where things froze.

And then a group of sloppy people are like guarding against thieves every day, guarding against everyone...

No, something went wrong when he first joined the crew.

Offended a young man whose origin is unclear, but who seems to have a close relationship with Director Zhang...

But now, Jay Chou took the initiative to take the matter on himself.

Then what can he say?
Either helpless or worried.

Now that he had spoken, Zhao Shaowei himself could only nod his head:

"OK then."

"Ah."

Jay Chou nodded, closed his eyes, and put on his earphones.
