I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 82 080. Vanves
Zhang Yimou focused his attention on Yang Mi.

from head to foot.

He carefully examined the transparency.

After he came in, apart from the pale face at the beginning, Yang Mi had already adjusted all her mentality in just a second or two.

Stand up straight, raise your head slightly to reveal your slender neck, and use the upturned corners of your mouth to drive all the muscles on your face to make a soft yet elegant introverted smile.

The whole person is not like an actor, but more like a mannequin in a window.

It's like it's fixed.

While Zhang Yimou was watching, the others were also watching.

Wei Lanfang's eyes were straightened.

Staring straight at the girl on the podium...

Or looking straight at her chest...

Just one thought in mind:
"Xu Xin, this kid...you are blessed!"

Also as a woman, she can naturally see... how good this girl's figure is.

Or……

Recalling the dressing style of the two people who met these two times, as well as the natural figure display...

This girl is definitely a figure that looks thin and fleshy when she undresses!
This girl is the best!

Xiao Xu...

you boy...

At this moment, Zhang Yimou had already sat beside Cheng Xiaodong.

"How about it?"

Cheng Xiaodong turned his head and whispered.

His movements were so small that Zhang Yimou was a little taken aback.

Obviously don't understand why the other party's voice is so low.

However, he still sized up Yang Mi in cooperation, and nodded:
"Xiao Xu is a very good classmate, he can punch in the face."

He's not too loud.

After hearing this, Cheng Xiaodong made sure that he saw clearly, and said:

"Okay, Yang Mi, go change your clothes, go back and wait for the notification... Then everyone, if there are no accidents, we will officially start filming tomorrow on April Fool's Day. Now the directors of each department go back and confirm the various equipment, ah Chen, let the martial artists go through the moves again...Ting Xiao, you go and arrange it, and when everyone has changed their clothes, call the actors into the conference room to check their lines...Okay, let's go to work."

Although Cheng Xiaodong is only the action director of this film, but in fact Zhang Yimou does not speak, so he is the biggest in the entire crew.

He and Director Zhang became friends in "Heroes". They have had a very good relationship for so many years, and they are inseparable.And this time, as an action director, he is not only responsible for the actors' fight scenes, but also helps Director Zhang undertake part of the shooting content, which can be seen from the fact that he is also a member of the Olympic team.

So when he spoke, it was equivalent to Zhang Yimou speaking.

Besides...

Everyone is not stupid, Cheng Dao suddenly bypassed Zhang Dao and assigned tasks to everyone, and said that they should go to work after the fitting, but he himself did not move.

From a glance, he knew that he had something to say to Director Zhang.

Then let's go.

People started to leave.

Even Wei Lanfang did the same.

After everyone left the meeting room one after another, Cheng Xiaodong pointed at Assistant Lin:

"Xiaolin, you go out too."

"Okay, Director Cheng, then I'll be at the door."

Assistant Lin said, walked outside the door, and closed the door behind him.

There were only two people left in the room.

Zhang Yimou then looked at Cheng Xiaodong and asked in a normal voice:
"what happened?"

"Yimou, this classmate Xiao Xu has a good background. Wearing this kind of ancient costume has a natural charm. At first I thought she was too thin, but I realized that this girl has a good figure when I put on this dress today."

"..."

Zhang Yimou didn't say a word, and continued to nod:
"Well...but the face looks thin, it's not suitable..."

Speaking of this, after thinking for a while, he shook his head:

"Her way of acting, if you want to follow the ancient style, can run through history, but she can't play Tang. She lacks that kind of plump beauty...Xiaodong, just tell me what you mean."

After expressing his point of view, he couldn't help asking Cheng Xiaodong.

And now there are no outsiders, and Cheng Xiaodong will not hide it, and said directly:
"I want to use her as Li Man's substitute."

"...Jiang Chan??"

Zhang Yimou was taken aback, and subconsciously frowned:
"...Tell me, what do you think."

"Actually, it's very simple. One plan, something like this happened to Li Man, and now the manager is hiding it and not explaining the real situation. In my estimation, she may not be able to recover in a short time after being bitten by a mosquito. And you have to know... The filming plan we made, the filming of the literary drama will start tomorrow. Jiang Chan will be there every hour when the queen takes medicine. In Liu Ye's role, the role of Jiang Chan also interacts. The filming plan Here, unless you rearrange things, the role of Jiang Chan will be there when filming starts tomorrow, right?"

"This can be changed."

Listening to Cheng Xiaodong's words, Zhang Yimou said directly:
"Take out Jiang Chan's scenes first, and shoot other people's scenes."

"I know, but don't forget Gong Li..."

"..."

When Cheng Xiaodong mentioned this, Zhang Yimou frowned directly.

"Do you think she will agree to wait for an actress handpicked by Weiping? Li Man is a newcomer, so let Gong Li wait? Let's not talk about her relationship with Weiping, it's normal...you think it's appropriate Is it? Who is Gong Li? Waiting for a newcomer in the industry? Where is she going to save her face?"

"..."

Zhang Yimou was silent and frowned.

Because Cheng Xiaodong mentioned an unsolvable hurdle.

Let a real actress who has won numerous awards at home and abroad wait for a new actor?
How far will Gong Li's worth be lowered after this is said in the industry?
Will her management team agree?

It is impossible to agree.

Not to mention...the other party is Zhang Weiping's.

She can even drive Zhang Weiping away, otherwise she will stop acting... Zhang Yimou knows the character of her ex-girlfriend very well.

but……

"She's too skinny."

Zhang Yimou thought for a while, then shook his head:
"It's definitely okay to be beautiful, but you have to understand that our background is alluding to Empress Tang... If a supporting role is okay, if she plays Jiang Chan, she is too thin."

"Then do you still have time to choose actors? Although I know that once you speak, those companies will definitely fill your table with information about actresses. But the question is... what do you say about Weiping?"

"..."

"Didn't I just say that she was a backup. Because I read the filming plan, the dates for the soldiers seconded by us and the military region are fixed. They have already signed the contract for the last scene. If you change it, you can change it." It’s not easy to change it, let’s not mention it, let’s take that time as the axis. At most, the scenes of Gong Li, Jiang Chan, and Liu Ye can be delayed for five days. Five days is the limit..."

Speaking of this, Cheng Xiaodong paused... as if he was thinking.And with this silence, his eyes gradually became brighter:
"We are friends. I won't play tricks with you. I'll tell you straight. The question now is what's going on with Li Man. Xiao Shen hasn't brought any news yet. Are you going to find a brokerage company to change actors?" What if Li Man recovers quickly and is not that serious?

So what is this matter?
To put it mildly, it is an oolong.But as long as this news is released to the brokerage company, the wind will definitely leak out.This drama has Jay Chou, Gong Li who will reunite with you after many years, and Zhou Renfa. In addition to the investment and production, Weiping spent a lot of effort in the early publicity.

If it was suddenly reported that the role was changed, but in the end it didn't change... What do you think those reporters who are catching wind and shadow will say?Gossip about the production team must be flying everywhere, right?
Also, let’s get bigger... If you talk to Weiping, then based on my understanding of him... Even if it is to disgust Gong Li, he will definitely ask you to hold on...Gong Li signed the contract of.If she strikes out or something, she'll lose money.Do you want this money?Whether you want it or not, Weiping will not let her go.

Even if Gong Li can act, because of Li Man, how will her status be affected? Do you think her management team will not know?This is called smashing people's jobs, a conspiracy. "

Without the slightest reservation, Cheng Xiaodong, who was born in the martial arts of Xiangjiang and has witnessed the rise and fall of Xiangjiang Films, and countless brokerage companies and associations fighting for the interests of the film, is much more sensitive to these things than Zhang Yimou.

At this moment, facing his friends, he chose to confess his heart:
"I don't comment on the matter between you and Weiping, but you have to understand...Weiping wants to make money, and wants to make more money. He is already very dissatisfied with you for taking over the Olympic job. I can understand, Li Man It's his people, and it's related to the follow-up operation of some resources of him and several big entertainment companies... But this is something that Li Man and the others created by themselves. It has nothing to do with you and me, right? We have to be responsible for the crew, for the "Thunderstorm" Responsible for the script, but also responsible for the Olympic Games.

He will not allow you to give the role of Jiang Chan to those brokerage companies that haven't given him enough benefits. As long as you get your "girlfriend", then an actress can rise to the top.This is also the reason why Weiping started to hype about seeking girls this time.Do you think Weiping will allow you to change at will for a character who can get unparalleled attention after debut?

What about the two companies, Hesong and Huanrui, who are fighting for Li Man?They promised benefits, but since Li Man didn't sign with the company, and you have to sign with actors in the agency... the benefits he got are sky-high and bottom-to-bottom.

Therefore, he will definitely let you wait for Li Man, but the key is that we don't even know what Li Man's situation is now!Her manager didn't even let Xiao Shen see or inquire!You tell me whether this person is looking for you or Weiping?And if you wait for her, it’s okay if you can wait until, everyone can still be in harmony, but let me tell you, the limit, the limit is five days.Five days later, there is still no one to wait for. If Weiping doesn't say anything, Gong Li will definitely blow up. Believe it or not? "

The friend's frank confession revealed all the pros and cons.

Or speak out for Zhang Yimou.

People who practice martial arts must have loyalty.

Yimou is a friend, even if you can't make decisions for your friend, help him recognize these facts.

Although he also understands...you don't need to say it yourself, Yimou can figure it out.

But his heart is too soft.

He has never experienced what he experienced in Xiangjiang. It can be said that "the debut is the pinnacle". But after all, he hadn't really been stabbed, so he didn't know how much filth and unbearableness was buried under the seemingly healthy and healthy ecological soil in some circles.

It's not that he doesn't understand, but his starting point is the rules of the state-owned film studio system in the special era of the Chinese Empire.After jumping out of the rules of the state-owned film studio, he became famous and crossed the lowest ecological zone.

His fame, his strength, his understanding of movies... These have made him a director's authority that no one can question.No matter how filthy they are behind their backs, everyone must pretend to be innocent in front of him to disguise themselves.

But now...the times change, everything changes, even the friends around him change again.

And these changes are too similar to the stories of those once close friends that Cheng Xiaodong met in Xiangjiang suddenly stabbed in the back for the sake of profit.

He doesn't have much energy, and he can't block a knife that may appear at any time for Yi Mou, so, before "leaving", his armor should be fixed tightly.

So, he looked at Zhang Yimou who was frowning and remained silent.

He uttered the last earnest words:
"Five days is the conclusion I came to after reading the filming plan... I mean, this girl is just a substitute. If Li Man can come back, everyone is happy. If she can't come back... at least this girl doesn't have an ugly face. Yes This condition, as long as you can cover your mouth tightly, then you are the most suitable candidate, isn’t it? Shut this matter to death and digest it internally. Weiping has already invested so much money, and I believe he can make a choice.”

"..."

Zhang Yimou remained silent for a long time.

Leaning on the chair, I don't know what to think.

……

"Hey, what are you talking about in the meeting?... Is it the kind of people who scold Fang Qiu, what our artistic concept wants to convey to the world... What about you? Are you just like a soldier, just Nodding there: Um, Director Zhang is right, Director Li is right, Director Ma is right..."

In Xu Xin's room, the girl who had already changed into her usual loose clothes and her hair was removed, but she hadn't removed her makeup yet, but her lip gloss had turned into a normal color, asked curiously.

"It doesn't have the same opinion as mine."

Xu Xin, who was reading with the script in his hand, rolled his eyes.

Yang Mi who was sitting on the big bed smiled:
"I'm just curious. And why are you reading the script now? Shouldn't you keep thinking about Olympic ideas?"

"Thinking creatively is not what I'm good at."

Putting down the "Wulin Biography" in his hand, Xu Xin lit a cigarette.

Without further ado, Yang Mi got up and opened the window in the house.

"Hiss~ The proposition of the Olympic Games is too big, understand? Creativity needs, but it is more in line with the spirit of the Celestial Dynasty. As for the control of this aspect, if you can go to a meeting with me, you will understand, it is really powerful It is Zhang Dao and the others who are the best. People at their level have their own ideas about what kind of art can express what kind of spirit. So in front of their teachers, I am like a classmate."

"Yo yo yo~ are you so humble like me?"

The girl looked at him with a smile on her face.

But Xu Xin shook his head:
"No, what I told you is true... Don't look at me making some achievements now, but in fact, the starting point of all my ideas and inspirations is the thinking link left by Director Zhang. He is the chief director , I have a lot of ideas in my mind, and I still have a clear understanding of my abilities. I think which one of Director Zhang's ideas is better, and I just designed a plan. It's that simple... The opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games, what is needed is not Everyone has their own mind... Well, that's not right. It allows us to have our own mind, but the only brain is Dao Zhang, understand? It's the difference."

"So you're not a producer, you're a transporter?"

"Well, that's what it means... I still don't have enough ability, understand? Just like "Guernica", there are still too many things to learn."

"But their hands-on ability is not as good as yours, hehe, right?"

"Keep blowing, I like it~"

"Goose Goose Goose Goose~"

The girl smiled happily, and squeaked again.

While laughing, she quietly leaned towards Xu Xin.

As a result, after taking two steps, Xu Xin covered the script with a "snap":

"Fuck off~"

"Cut~"

The girl who didn't succeed in her trick pursed her lips.

"Aren't you going to invest, why don't you see it?"

"When I really send the money to others, you can look at it at that time. But not now~"

"Don't let me see you down..."

"Think about what to eat for lunch first, and I'll make a call."

Seeing that he was busy, Yang Mi stopped talking, but pointed to the laptop:

"I go up and down QQ."

"Ah."

After handing her the laptop, Xu Xin called Shang Jing.

"Dudu, hello, little...Xu Xin, hello."

Hearing Shang Jing's address, Xu Xin smiled and said:

"Director Shang, you can just call me Xiao Xu."

"Uh... um... what's the matter? Has the investment been confirmed?"

"No, the person Director Zhang is looking for hasn't arrived yet, and he will come in two days... But Director Shang, don't worry, I still say the same thing, if I want money, I can transfer it to you now."

"No, no, no, no, I'm busy with venues and characters today."

"Well...that's how it is, Director Shang."

After thinking about it, Xu Xin turned on the speakerphone and asked with the script:

"Is it convenient for you to speak now?"

"Convenient."

Shang Jing’s affirmative voice came from the loudspeaker:

"I'm still at home right now."

"Okay... Then I'll talk to you about the things in the script."

"Well, okay, you say."

"I have some doubts about the role of Zhu Wushuang."

"..."

On the other end of the phone, Shang Jing suddenly fell silent.

Then asked:
"What doubt?"

"Positioning problem."

Xu Xin flipped through the script in his hand:
"I have watched 42 episodes now. Zhu Wushuang started to appear in the 31st episode as Bai Zhantang's junior sister. After the 39th episode, after she chose Xiao Guo because of Lu Xiucai, she left a set for her. The scholar's clothes are gone... Will she still have a role in the future?"

"...That's all for now."

"It doesn't appear later, right?"

"Yes...but it can be added."

Shang Jing suddenly said this.

But Xu Xin didn't care, but asked in surprise:

"Let's not talk about whether to add or not, I'm actually very confused about this character. You told me that Zhu Wushuang's character is a more important role in the next scene...but she only appeared in these few episodes. And to be honest, I don't see any difference between Xiucai and other characters other than pushing Xiucai's relationship with Xiaoguo. So...

I was wondering, what exactly is the role of this character?Why does it feel so abrupt? ...Even I thought about it, even if there is no Zhu Wushuang, as long as there is any female character appearing...then this script can completely use the story of one episode, which can be used as a catalyst to make the relationship between Xiao Guo and Xiucai stronger. further.So this character...in my opinion, the role of these episodes is very inexplicable. "

"..."

Shang Jing on the other end of the phone fell silent again.

Xu Xin asked on the phone in bewilderment:

"Director Shang?"

"I'm... hey."

Shang Jing let out a long sigh:
"Xiao Xu, then I'll tell you the truth."

"Yeah, tell me."

"It's like this...Actually, the role of Zhu Wushuang was cast in one episode at the beginning, as you said, as a catalyst for the relationship between Lu Xiucai and Guo Furong. But...you know, my drama No more investment. So...the reason why I marked this role as the main actor...Actually, I thought that if any investor had some actresses to arrange here..."

"..."

The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

And Yang Mi, who was on QQ, turned her head subconsciously.

"Anyway, my "Story of the Cooking Class" is not bad, let alone praise it, but if it is some unknown... small actors, right? The arrangement here will satisfy the investors... This is Zhu Wushuang. The reason why the roles are expanded. But indeed, according to what you said, Zhu Wushuang's role can actually end in one episode, but after hearing my opinion, the God of Wealth added it to nine episodes..."

Speaking of this, Shang Jing paused.

Seems to be thinking about something.

Then there was a slight change in the conversation:
"Of course, you look at the relationship between the characters and find that she is useless. But in fact, in the scripts of these episodes, whether it is the dialogue and interaction of the characters, the interaction of the scene, etc., the God of Wealth's design is really good. Episode 39 is naturally offline , I think it's okay. And...Xiao Xu, if you have any recommendations, I think the girl we met at the door that day is very nice..."

"..."

"...????????"

Yang Mi's eyes straightened.

What do you mean?
I just met with you.

As soon as you heard that Xu Xin invested in your TV series, you aimed at me?
What does this mean...

I picked up another character for nothing?
What are you doing?
What's wrong with me?

Brother, let's not do this, can I, I'm afraid of being struck by lightning when I go out!
Is the Xu Xin you are talking about my peerless grievance?
Do you have to let me suck his blood and suck him to death?
And Xu Xin was also a little confused:
"Yang Mi...?"

Subconsciously, he looked at the girl who was staring at him.

"Yes... Zhu Wushuang's setting in the series is youthful and beautiful. The girl's appearance is very suitable... Actually, it depends on what you mean, Xiao Xu. Because I have decided on the other main characters, they are my original cast , and the role of Wushuang doesn't require that much acting skills, as long as the person is beautiful. If you think it's okay...or you want someone around you to play it, then come and audition, how about it?"

"..."

"..."

On the other end of the phone, Xu Xin and Yang Mi stared wide-eyed...

The original intention was for the monk guide to talk about the positioning of Zhu Wushuang's role...how did it end up...

Suddenly went towards the unspoken rules?
After thinking about it, Xu Xin said:

"That's it...then... okay, I see, Director Shang, let's talk about it later, when the person Director Zhang found for me arrives, I'll see how I can do it, and then I will contact you again?"

"Okay, no problem, then I hang up?"

"Yeah, hang up now, and see you again, Director Shang."

When Shang Jing hung up the phone, Xu Xin subconsciously turned his attention to the girl again.

Yang Mi was also speechless.

"I...let me tell you first...you..."

Her lips moved slightly...

The voice stuttered:
"If you have... have any plans for me...you...you say it in advance...ah bah! No, not in advance, you...don't say it..."

"What did I... say?"

Xu Xin was also dumbfounded.

Because he really didn't expect that Zhu Wushuang turned out to be such a position.

While it may sound like a "trend of the times,"...

Why is it so strange?

Then I saw the girl shaking her head like a rattle:
"No, no...don't say...don't say..."

"I didn't mean to say..."

"Then don't talk about it!...Don't arrange for me, I...I really won't go! I...I'm not a big actor, thank you!"

I don't know if she really panicked or what happened.

Suddenly he couldn't choose what to say:
"I'm just a little actor... you gotta find someone prettier than me to dive in... no no no, no, I mean, I know I'm pretty... you... oops!! You're annoying!! I... "

"You wait!"

Seeing that she was about to run out after getting out of bed, Xu Xin couldn't help crying and stopped her:

"What are you doing so nonsense?... Sit there, honestly."

One Finger Laptop:

"Director Shang misunderstood our relationship, but I didn't mean that, can you stop thinking about it?"

"...I didn't mean that, I just thought I was delaying you!"

The girl shook her head:
"Really, I think I'm delaying you too much... Just being with you... No, just when I appeared with you, didn't you notice that I always have some inexplicable opportunities. I met Director Zhang, I auditioned for this crew, and now...the director of "The Story of the Cooking Class" even said that I can play this...what Yang Wushuang."

"I wish Wushuang."

"Oh yes, Zhu Wushuang. Anyway, I always let others misunderstand you, and I'm still...wasting your network resources...I don't mean to waste...I will definitely work hard...but I feel...to be with you , I’m just like riding a rocket, moving forward... I can’t let you lose too much favor from others, do you understand? We’ve only been together for a few days? I’ve got so many opportunities out of nowhere... I don’t know People thought you were a prosperous..."

"Vanves!???"

Xu Xin was dumbfounded.

Then there was a burst of dumbfounding:
"Then what do you mean? Break up friendship?"

"Don't don't..."

The girl quickly shook her head again:
"I mean...we really have to avoid it in front of outsiders in the future, understand?"

"So you're going to run away?"

"It's not running away, it's opening the door."

She opened the door with a snap.

Then sat down on the bed again:

"I can't let others misunderstand our relationship and think that helping me is...to please you or something. In this way, you will bear a lot of debts because of me. I can't do this. "

She shook her head:

"The debt of favor is too difficult to repay..."

Looking at Xu Xin, her eyes were firm and serious:
"Absolutely not."

"..."

be honest.

Xu Xin felt very warm in his heart.

But before he had time to express himself, his phone rang suddenly.

"...Hello? How are you?...Ah? Assistant Lin, hello...Yang Mi...She's right next to me."

"...??"

Yang Mi was suddenly taken aback.

Then I saw Xu Xin turn on the phone for speakerphone:
"I've turned on the speakerphone, Assistant Lin, tell me."

"Okay, it's like this... Director Zhang just told me that I have a script in my hand, Mr. Xu, if you two are together, then I'll go up and give it to you, you two wait for me a bit……"

"???????"

The girl just felt a "buzz" in her head...

His eyes locked onto Xu Xin who was also astonished.

For some reason, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that under his short hair, there were three words written in golden light:
"Big head."

　Brothers, [-] updates a day is really a lot...
