The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 14 music video is a hit! Received rave reviews!
……

"Sister Mi, I haven't seen you for a while. How have you been lately?"

"Brother Kun, you're joking again. Didn't we have hot pot together last month?"

Yang Mi called just to find out about the song "Possible" and how beautiful Lu Zhiyuan photographed Jing Tian in the MV.

Xin Yukun also knew what Yang Mi wanted to ask.

But the two of them just didn't take the initiative to speak, and just played Tai Chi with each other.

"Sister Mi, do you have any schedule after the Lunar New Year? Ayuan and I have a movie project and have raised millions in investment, but we're still short of a leading actress."

Although "Chinese Paladin III" has not been aired yet, Yang Mi is probably the most talented young actress among the Beijing Film Academy in recent years.

After Liu Yifei, it's her.

Speaking of which, Yang Mi is Xin Yukun's senior.

After all, Yang Mi is from Class of 05, and Xin Yukun and Lu Zhiyuan are from Class of 08.

"I do have a schedule... but I need to ask my agent. Brother Kun, you know that my contract with Rong Xinda is about to expire. I have to be careful during this period."

Yang Mi brought up her agent, which was actually a tactful refusal.

A new director and a niche subject matter, it basically means failure.

She has spent so many years and finally climbed up to her current status, and she doesn't want to fall back.

Xin Yukun understood Yang Mi's subtext when she heard this, and revealed a hint of regret: "It's okay. I'll talk to Li Xiaolu later. She just finished filming a comedy movie, so she might be interested."

Li Xiaolu and Yang Mi are still a pair of plastic sisters at this stage.

Moreover, Li Xiaolu is doing better.

What Xin Yukun meant was that Li Xiaolu was a thick-skinned man and should be willing to take a gamble.

When Yang Mi heard that Xin Yukun had a backup plan, and that it was her rival Li Xiaolu, she became anxious.

"Brother Kun, I've thought about it and I think I should have a schedule, but it's only for a month at most. What do you think..."

Yang Mi will have another CCTV drama coming up called "Detective Dee: The Prequel".

Compared with Xin Yukun's "three-no" movies, CCTV dramas are of course more important.

"enough."

Xin Yukun gave a definite answer, then poured cold water on him: "When the time comes, I'll notify you to come for the audition."

Still need an audition?

Yang Mi's heart sank, and she immediately started to wonder, could this be a big production? Otherwise, why would Xin Yukun treat her so coldly?

It's not impossible.

After all, he had Jing Tian's support.

Brother Kun is good at bragging, and Lu Zhiyuan has skills.

It's hard to say.

"See you then."

Yang Mi forced a smile, feeling mixed emotions.

Turning around, Xin Yukun called Li Xiaolu again: "Sister Xiaolu, I have a project, and the female lead role is especially suitable for you. Are you interested in taking on the challenge?"

The heroine of the movie "Maze" is a scheming woman.

Li Xiaolu lowered his head, and the expression in his eyes was absolutely consistent.

Seeing that Li Xiaolu didn't say anything, Xin Yukun smiled and said, "The female lead is tentatively Yang Mi. But if you are willing..."

"Brother Kun, do you even need to ask? I'm definitely more suitable than her!"

Li Xiaolu might not want to play a role that no one wants, but if Yang Mi wanted to play it, it would be like stealing her niche.

Yang Mi doesn't want to act in her costume idol dramas and come to the film industry?

then what do I do?
We must not let her have this opportunity!

I'd rather let this character be ruined in my hands!

……

"Brother Kun, take it easy and don't offend too many people."

Seeing Xin Yukun treating those female stars like monkeys, Lu Zhiyuan really couldn't stand it and prepared to take a shower and go to bed.

"Everyone in the underworld knows that I, A Kun, never lie. I didn't lie to them. Yang Mi is indeed the tentative choice, and Li Xiaolu also wants to play the role."

Xin Yukun’s words left Lu Zhiyuan speechless.

This guy is playing the game of [Bill Gates’ son-in-law] and [Vice President of the World Bank].

"However, these two have a lot of ulterior motives and probably won't act well. I think we should go find Master Liu."

Xin Yukun always thought about Liu Shishi.

He had a strange feeling that if he asked someone else to play the leading female role, he would have to pay them a salary. But if he asked Liu Shishi, she might give him money in return.

……

the following few days.

Xin Yukun goes out early and comes back late to help find a suitable heroine for the "Heart Labyrinth" project.

As for the protagonist, the old village chief? That's easy.

There are many veteran actors in the National Theatre, and their pay is not high.

As for the old village chief's son, he felt that he was born in Inner Mongolia, was exposed to wind and sun, had thick skin and flesh, and wore a pair of small glasses.

He looks like a farmer's son, a rural test-taker.

At that time, he will play a young couple with Liu Shishi or Yang Mi.

Tsk tsk.

……

Starry Star Company.

"Has the 30-second behind-the-scenes footage been sent out?"

"It's already been sent out. All the major forums, Tianya, Tieba, have hired trolls to stir up trouble. So far, it seems to be working well."

"What? Only third? Increase your efforts. Keep finding people to boost your stats! I must take first place!"

"Yes, I'll find someone to try again."

Before the Chinese New Year, the company suddenly started working overtime, especially the publicity department. More than a dozen people were busy, and people were constantly making phone calls and sending emails.

Zhao Shanshan simply didn't go home and has been staying in the company for the past two days.

With everyone's optimism about the song "Maybe," it couldn't fail. But Zhao Shanshan wasn't sure how well it would perform.

Now, with a little data manipulation, the rankings are taking off like a rocket.

What are you waiting for?
Must get first place!

Step on Zhang Yadong's head to get to the top!
To avenge the arrow shot at me that year.

"Sister Shanshan, how is the situation?"

In the afternoon, Jing Tian took the time to call and ask about the situation.

Zhao Shanshan's face flushed with excitement as she said excitedly, "As soon as the official version was released, the data exploded. All the major forums and post boards were talking about this song and you."

"Tiantian, get ready to be a big star!"

Zhao Shanshan didn’t know how good the song was.

However, this MV makes Jing Tian look like a fairy.

Those otakus on Tieba were going crazy, looking for screenshots in the MV and reposting them everywhere, saying that there was a new beauty with divine looks in the domestic entertainment industry.

Zhao Shanshan looked around and found that many people had secretly changed their profile pictures to Jing Tian.

This is going to be a hit.

……

"really?"

Jing Tian felt that Zhao Shanshan was comforting her.

I said that before.

As a result, every project failed.

She's almost used to it.

However, today seems a bit unexpected.

After changing her clothes, Jing Tian rested in the corner, waiting for the director to call her to start work. Suddenly, she heard two people whispering not far away, glancing in her direction from time to time.

The content of their conversation made Jing Tian prick up his ears.

"Lily, have you heard the song 'Maybe'?"

"Of course. I saw it when the behind-the-scenes footage came out, and today the official version was finally released. The song is okay, but the music video is absolutely beautiful."

"That music video, as I recall, was filmed right here, beneath the walls of the Chu Palace. I even watched it from afar when we were filming that day. I never imagined it would turn out so well after it was finished."

"That's right. The Chu Palace was so dirty. I don't know how the director filmed it, it was absolutely amazing. Especially the heroine... Hehe, I thought Sister Tiantian was just average in our crew, but I didn't expect her to look so good in the music video."

"Yes, yes, when I saw that music video, I initially thought I had made a mistake. I only recognized it later."

"Actually, Sister Tiantian looks pretty even without makeup, not to mention in the music video. I don't know why, but in our crew, she looks pretty average."

The two of them were chatting with each other there.

Because they were just extras, no one cared about them.

Little did they know that their conversation was overheard by Jing Tian.

Jing Tian was both angry and happy.

What’s cool is that the two of them said that they are naturally beautiful and look beautiful even without makeup. In the MV, they have even more stunning looks.

However, what made her angry was that even the two extras noticed that the director portrayed her as mediocre in the drama "The Biography of Sun Tzu".

Damn!

I really feel sad for myself!

For so many years, I have been wasting my beauty!
After thinking about it, Jing Tian decided to be nicer to Lu Zhiyuan and called Zhao Shanshan.

"Sister Shanshan, I have an SUV in my garage, just sitting there collecting dust. Ayuan is working hard on location scouting, so let him drive my car!"
