Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 248 Jing Tian: Uncle Lu, can I change jobs?
"Diablo! As a young girl, can't you be a little more reserved?"

"You've said it three times in just a short while! Can't you just change the word?"

"Come in with me!"

"Ah?" Yang Mi was stunned, then happy, "Yeah!"

He quickly stood up, walked quickly into the office and closed the door.

"I've told Senior Sister Li that the corner has been dug."

"Hey, this is the company's artist signing contract template. I made some simple adjustments."

"Take a look and see if there are any terms that need to be re-negotiated."

Hearing this, Yang Mi's face darkened.

Is this what you came here to do?
"No need, senior, I can sign it directly!"

"No need for that! Let's talk business. This contract is for several years. How many years can a female artist have?" Zhen Jiecheng threw the contract template to Yang Mi, "Don't waste time. Take a quick look and read it carefully."

Seeing this, Yang Mi had to nod, feeling particularly warm in her heart.

He picked up the contract template and followed Zhen Jiecheng's instructions obediently, reading it carefully one by one.

It seemed normal at first, but when I got to know the specific treatment, I was more and more surprised.

Looked up,
"Senior, did you make a mistake?"

"I don't think I deserve this treatment."

"That's unreasonable! It's much better than my contract at Rong Xinda, but the problem is that you still spent so much money on it."

"What a bullshit price! The penalty is discounted, just like a broken bone. It's just adding some character resources." Zhen Jiecheng waved his hand. "Besides, I don't have to pay for the penalty. You pay it yourself! Don't tell me you can't even pay this little money."

Of course Yang Mi can afford this huge penalty, but what about the value of the character resources?

And what about the "heavy price" paid by the senior students as mentioned by Director Li?

The less Zhen Jiecheng mentioned it, the more Yang Mi thought about it.

I have only heard that solving problems requires sacrifice, but I have never heard that escaping from them can bring benefits. This is not normal in daily life, let alone in the cruel and harsh entertainment industry.

"Senior~"

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't stretch out your voice, and don't tremble!" Zhen Jiecheng felt goose bumps all over his skin. "Be normal, I'm scared!"

"First, the contract template is for outsiders to see, so we have to follow the crowd, otherwise it will appear that our company is unique."

"The content I adjusted is real, not a special treatment for you! So, you don't need to be moved."

"Secondly, the reason why I am relatively lenient on the contract terms is mainly because I am not focusing on artist business here."

"Although Fan Bingbing has made a lot of money for the company in the past two years, the reason is still due to the company's output of works."

"Yes, I know, it's because of the movie "My Love from the Star" written by you, senior!" Yang Mi nodded.

"Third, I really like Soldier Assault. I like it more than My Love from the Stars and The Heirs, which Fan Bingbing is currently filming!"

"Yuen Lang has a line in this play."

Zhen Jiecheng looked at Yang Mi, his eyes filled with the golden light emanating from the "chosen worker".

"We have to stay together forever from now on. Staying together forever is a test!"

"I don't want to exploit employees with harsh terms. I prefer to define both parties as 'partners'."

"Mi Mi, in addition to the director's studio, the company currently has three actor studios: Fan Bingbing, Deng Chao, and Wang Baoqi."

"I hope you're next!"

The words fell to the ground.

Quiet, silent.

Zhen Jiecheng did not see the expected emotional value in Yang Mi's eyes and face.

Just when I was wondering if I said something wrong or if I had missed something.

Suddenly, I saw bean-sized drool rolling down from Yang Mi's eyes.

What the hell?

Why are you crying?
Zhen Jiecheng was caught off guard!
I quickly stood up and took out a tissue.
"what happened?"

"Why are you crying?"

"Fuck, it's bad enough that a man and a woman are alone in the same room at night, but there's also crying!"

"Yang Mi, if you want to destroy my image, just say it directly, don't do these things"

"Senior~~~"

The notes are longer and the vibrato is more gentle.

While interrupting Zhen Jiecheng's words, he stood up and hugged him.

"Senior, I don't want to be reserved, I'm serious. Go ahead and dig me, I don't have any requests."

"Senior, I'm not young anymore, not just in age, if you don't believe me, feel it."

Grab Zhen Jiecheng's hand and press it upwards!

"Mimi, what are you doing?" When the touch spread from the palm of his hand to his mind, Zhen Jiecheng was startled.

Instinctively, he said, "Mi Mi, don't do this!"

At the same time, I "instinctively" did not try to break free, but the influence of the factory settings made my fingers scratch "uncontrollably".

"Senior, you touched me last time anyway. It's okay, I'm willing!"

"Last time?" Zhen Jiecheng was stunned. "What last time? How come I didn't know? Don't wrongly accuse me!"

"It was the day when the filming of "Secret" was completed! You were drunk, and on the way I helped you to the room, you were holding and grabbing things." Yang Mi raised her head and looked straight into Zhen Jiecheng's eyes.

The light yellow stand-up collar sweater makes the neck look very slender.

The room was well heated and Zhen Jiecheng could clearly feel sweat oozing from his palms.

"Did I?"

"Yes!" Yang Mi nodded.

"And this one, it's not small either, it's very perky!"

He grabbed Zhen Jiecheng's other hand and pressed it on his buttocks.

"du~du~du~"

The phone rang suddenly, and Yang Mi trembled.

Next second,
"hiss!"

"Mi Mi, what are you doing? Are you okay?"

"Of course I'm fine!" Yang Mi blushed, "It's hitting me! Can't I see what it is?"

"You're looking at this? Everyone in your family uses their hands to look at it?"

"Yes, I'm blind, so of course I can only grope the elephant in the dark!"

Having said that, he let go of Zhen Jiecheng.

I glanced at the lit phone screen on the table.
"Senior, please answer the phone quickly, it's Director Han calling!"

After the impulse, the nerves paralyzed by adrenaline become sensitive again.

Yang Mi lowered her head, took two steps at a time, and trotted out of the office.

He only left a sentence floating in the room: "Senior, I will come to sign the contract after I finish dealing with Rong Xinda's matters!"

"I was groped?" Zhen Jiecheng was still confused and rubbed his crotch. "Is this considered harassment?"

"Shit! Why are you pulling so hard? It's touching my crotch!"

"Mimi, what's wrong? What did the senior say?" Zhang Xiaofei asked with concern.

"Senior has helped me solve it!"

"When I saw your blushing face, I guessed the result!" Zhang Xiaofei said with a smile, "I told you, there will be no problem if you ask the senior! The senior has such a high status, there is nothing in the circle that the senior can't solve!"

"Yeah!" Yang Mi nodded, touched her cheek, and felt a hot temperature in her palm.

He subconsciously sniffed the palm of his hand again, as if he could still smell the residual scent of the ocean, which added fuel to the burning sensation on his cheeks.

I was chatting with my best friend while soaking my feet.

Not only did the huge stone that was weighing on his heart finally fall to the ground, but he also said goodbye to Rong Xinda and joined Jiecheng Film and Television Company.

Yang Mi felt that the future was bright, and even the dry and cold air in Beijing in winter became warm.

At night, turn off the lights.

Yang Mi buried her head in the quilt with her hands clenched.

"No! You need to open your hands wider!"

"I remember that I couldn't hold it. My thumb and index finger couldn't reach it."

She kept gesturing. Not only her hands were busy, but her legs were also moving.

The whole person tossed and turned.

"Mi Mi! Why are you tossing and turning?"

"Nothing!"

Only then did Yang Mi calm down.

It was too stuffy under the quilt, so I stuck my head out.

Her eyelashes fluttered, bringing the bright moonlight shining through the window into her eyes.

In the Lunar New Year market, Hong Kong people are still enthusiastically promoting Ip Man.

Faced with the overwhelming impact of Ning Hao's "No Man's Land", "If You Are the One", which has already raked in more than 200 million yuan at the box office, gave Feng Xiaogang sufficient confidence.

With a mentality of watching the fun, I witnessed the wolves in front and tigers behind "Ip Man", or the dying struggle of my Hong Kong colleagues.

But happiness was only temporary. With many reporters gathering at the gate of Beijing Film Academy, the little boy's face was full of bitterness.

The box office of If You Are the One is good, and it is only a matter of time before it breaks 300 million. But what does it matter if it breaks 300 million? I am still "the humble thatched cottage next to the palace built by the fifth generation directors."

"Big Dipper" is Wang Shuo.

But the once high and mighty Shuo Ye is now just a frustrated person who is stubbornly venting his dissatisfaction.

Feng Xiaogang is very proud of this, even though Wang Shuo will never admit that he is envious and jealous.

"Big Dipper" is an art palace built by a famous director.

Always high above, always out of reach!

Feng Xiaogang tried to get tickets but to no avail.

"Xiaogang." Xu Fan looked at her husband and felt very distressed.

"It's okay!" Feng Xiaogang waved his hand, "I have a positive attitude."

"I admit, I envy Jie Cheng!"

"But I'm not jealous, not least because jealousy is useless."

Looking at the newspaper in my hand, the headlines are eye-catching.

"Director Zhen's new work is out, many famous directors gathered at Beijing Film Academy, take a sneak peek! "

"Jie Cheng is capable."

"It can not only dig deep into those fancy so-called human nature and so-called art."

“He can also tell a good story!”

"Most importantly, I never saw any disdain for commercial films in his eyes, nor any hypocritical courtesy towards me."

"I'm not referring to now, but to the past few years when the atmosphere of artistic contempt still existed."

"Of course, it hasn't disappeared yet, it's just hidden!"

Feng Xiaogang patted Xu Fan on the shoulder and said with a smile,
"Jie Cheng is very sincere and I am looking forward to seeing his masterpiece."

"One shot to the end! Who wouldn't want to watch it?"

"but"

Looking at the newspaper again,

"not today!"

Feng Xiaogang's loneliness corresponds to the joy of Beijing Film Academy.

The banner is out!

The ribbons are hung!

The handsome men and beautiful women welcoming the guests smiled brightly, and the reporters' flashlights were flashing continuously.

The catwalk shows of celebrities are the "red carpet" that ordinary people love to watch.

For Beijing Film Academy students who are used to seeing celebrities, the appearance of famous directors is the real red carpet!
"Xiao Jia! Welcome, welcome!"

Director Tian was in high spirits, with all the wrinkles on his face smiling. He led his favorite disciple to greet the guests.

"Brother!"

Zhen Jiecheng followed closely behind and greeted him obediently.

"Brother Tian, ​​I'm going back to my mother's home. Isn't the word 'welcome' inappropriate?"

"Hahaha! You're right, I used the wrong word!" Director Tian immediately admitted his mistake.

"Jiecheng!" Jia Zhangke looked at Zhen Jiecheng, "I have been looking forward to your masterpiece for a long time!"

"Brother, you flatter me." Zhen Jiecheng shook his head modestly. "I can only say that I will try my best not to disappoint you."

"Of course not! You have never disappointed anyone before, and this time is no exception!"

After a brief chat, the welcoming continued.

Gu Changwei, Wang Xiaoshuai. It seemed like an alumni gathering of Beijing Film Academy directors.

After Brother Chen and Lao Mouzi arrived, the atmosphere instantly reached a climax.

But it’s not over yet!
Jiang Wen came with a loud voice. Although he had visited Zhen Jiecheng during the filming, he had not seen the complete version of the film.

Wang Jiawei was still wearing sunglasses, and Zhen Jiecheng was curious whether he would take them off when watching the movie later.

The joint arrival of Li An and Mark Mueller almost confirmed the rumor that Li An will serve as the chairman of the jury of the next Venice Film Festival.

Old friends reunited again, Mark Mueller held Director Tian's hand,
"I still feel sorry that you don't want to create screen works anymore."

“But what makes me happy is that you have achieved great results in teaching, and your students will make up for the regrets in your directing career!”

While exchanging warm greetings, he walked towards the screening room.

Let’s put eating and socializing aside for now, the most important thing now is watching movies!

The Security Department of Beijing Film Academy sent security guards to guard outside the screening room, but they were still unable to disperse the students wandering around nearby.

"Xixi, didn't you go to your senior's crew later? Why are you curious too?" Yang Mi asked.

"I only know the general plot content, I haven't seen the finished film." Liu Yifei replied, "The visual effects will definitely be different after post-production."

"Yeah, yeah, Sister Xixi is right." Jing Tian nodded, "Me too!"

"Oh!" Yang Mi suddenly realized, "By the way, Xixi, I have signed with the senior's company."

"The contract I gave you was for five years, but I felt it was too short. I had no choice but to change it to ten years."

"Congratulations, Mimi." Liu Yifei smiled and said enthusiastically, "In fact, I also plan to sign with your company! It will be soon. In at most half a year, we can work together!"

"Oh? Really? That's great!"

Listening to the two of them passionately discussing their friendship as fellow students, Jing Tian looked at Liu Yifei, then at Yang Mi, and suddenly felt a little out of place.

So he secretly took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Lu Zheng:
"Uncle Lu, can I change jobs?"

"Wow~"

Thunderous applause broke out in the screening room.

Although we didn’t see the deep exploration of human nature and the profoundness of art in the movie, this did not stop people from cheering for the seamless design of “one shot to the end”. This is also art! Technology is as important as the core!

In fact, as early as 1948, Hitchcock demonstrated the awareness and skills of "one-shot" in "Rope".

However, due to the conditions at the time, a roll of film could only shoot about 10 minutes, so the film was actually shot with ten shots. Strictly speaking, it cannot be considered a completely one-shot movie.

"Time Code" in the millennium is a feature film full of experimental meaning.

The four pictures of the whole film evenly divide the entire screen from beginning to end. Each picture is a long shot of more than ninety minutes. The four pictures complement each other in the plot and organically control the sound effects of different pictures to replace the role of montage in the film's narrative.

The 05 film "9 Lives" consists of 9 short films with different plots, each of which is 12 minutes long and is shot in one shot.

and Da Mao’s “Goose Ross Ark”.

Many filmmakers in different eras have tried to challenge the one-shot shooting!
At this moment, facing such a 119-minute single-shot war movie, how can we not applaud it?
"Jiecheng! Great filming!" Lao Mouzi gave a thumbs up, "The narrative is smooth, the sense of substitution is strong, and the design and processing of the editing points are perfect!"

“The use of light and shadow effects is so beautiful, especially the night scenes on the battlefield!” Wang Jiawei put on his sunglasses again, “The burning buildings, the burning night sky, the burning land, the burning silhouettes. It’s amazing, like a dream!”

Thumbs up as well,
"Hou Sai Lei, Jie Cheng!"

"Beijing Film Academy student is a madman, nicknamed Zhen Jiecheng." Senior Brother Chen started by adapting poetry.

"I can only imagine what kind of style the Li Bai in Du Zimei's mind was, whose 'writing could stir up storms and whose poems could make ghosts and gods weep'."

"But Jiecheng you..."

Keep reciting poetry.

"From now on, your reputation will be great, and it will be lifted up in one day. Your literary talent will be passed down forever!"

"Brother, thank you for your compliment!" Zhen Jiecheng bowed.

Stand up and look at everyone.
"Dear senior brothers, dear teachers, dear seniors!"

"First of all, I would like to welcome you all again and thank you for your generous compliments. But I know that I am unworthy of them."

After a pause,
"Film is the art of 'realizing truth through faking', and all techniques need to serve the theme and story."

“The limitations of long lenses are also magnified by the extreme one-shot shooting. I have tried my best to avoid the dizziness caused by long lens movements and the sluggishness caused by large-angle shifts during filming, but in the end, I cannot completely make up for the greatest sense of superiority that the audience has when watching a movie: the God’s perspective.”

"At the same time, I also tried my best to enrich the plot! The actors also worked hard and contributed wonderful performances."

“But again, the thinness of the content of a one-shot is just like the limitations of film as a visual art.”

Zhen Jiecheng thought about it and added,
“In the final analysis, the most striking element of “No Return” is simply its visual spectacle! No, it should be described as a technical spectacle, which is more appropriate.”

Looking at his proud disciple's clear self-awareness and analysis despite the applause, Director Tian's smile became wider and wider.

At this moment, the more humble the disciple was, the prouder he became.

Look, the appreciation on the faces of my peers is the evidence!

Listen, the increasingly enthusiastic applause is the evidence!
Mark Mueller's eyes sparkled, and he couldn't wait to grab Director Tian's hand.
"We are old friends, Tian!"

"You are Jie Cheng's teacher, Tian!"

"You don't want to see the Venice Film Festival, which your old friend has taken over, go from bad to worse, do you, Tian?"

"You know, Tian!"
