The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 18 You took my money and hurt my self-esteem!
……

Jing Tian's sudden outburst caught everyone off guard.

Zhang Yadong, Ning Hao, these professionals who have worked with Jing Tian and indirectly or directly contributed to Jing Tian's failure... naturally needless to say.

They are probably all confused at this moment.

The crew members of "The Biography of Sun Tzu" were originally disgusted with Jing Tian, ​​but they endured it reluctantly for the sake of money.

Ever since Jing Tian became popular, their attitude towards Jing Tian has changed 180 degrees.

After all, Jing Tian’s identity is different now.

In the past, he was a big loser, with a refrigerator physique that just wouldn't become popular no matter how much he was promoted.

However, some people have now proved that it’s not that Jing Tian can’t become popular, but that the method is wrong.

Look at the music video for "Maybe."

How strong are your skills?

Not necessarily.

It's not some high-tech thing that can make you feel helpless and helpless.

As long as you put some thought into it, you can basically figure it out.

But why didn't the people who helped Jing Tian shoot the work before think of this? It's obvious that they didn't put their heart into it and just wanted to make a quick buck!
"Director, how was my performance?"

"Uh, not bad, pretty good."

People feel refreshed when good things happen to them. After becoming famous, Jing Tian felt that he was much more confident when speaking on the crew.

"The Biography of Sun Tzu", who is the biggest star now?
No longer Teacher Zhang Fengyi!

But it’s me!
Let me introduce myself again. The person standing in front of you now is from Xi'an, 21 years old, a sophomore at the Beijing Film Academy, 1.67 meters tall, 45 kilograms in weight, very wealthy, surpassing Jay Chou and JJ, and topping the MTV charts. He is a supernova in the Chinese music scene!

Recognized by netizens as the little queen of love songs, the second generation of Fish Leong.

Scenery, scenery, scenery...Tian!!!

"Sister Tiantian, your milk tea. By the way, Sister Tiantian, your skin is so fair, without any acne marks. Can you tell me how you maintain it?"

"Simple, drink more apple water."

After the song became popular, Jing Tian found that she was surrounded by good people.

In the crew, she was no longer unhappy every day like she was at the beginning. She began to thrive and even enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.

However, unlike Jing Tian who was in high spirits, those female celebrities who had received Lu Zhiyuan's emails were regretting it to the core.

……

"Xixi, I'm sorry. It's my fault. Who could have predicted that such a catchy song would become so popular?"

"Mom, it's not your fault. Everyone got it wrong. Besides, I haven't been in the mood to sing lately."

What else can Liu Yifei say?

Could it be that he blames his mother for having no vision and preventing him from becoming the second generation of Fish Leong?

The mother and daughter have a deep love for each other and have depended on each other for so many years.

There's no need to quarrel over a mere song.

However, Lu Zhiyuan...you have successfully aroused my interest!
……

"Sister Bingbing, I'm sorry. I didn't expect this song to be so popular. I was wrong."

"Be careful next time. Some things are better left to rot in your hands than to be taken away by others."

Fan Bingbing is busy filming his studio's second TV series "Madam Jin".

This is a drama adapted from a novel set in the Republic of China, depicting the bright lights and glamour of Shanghai.

She really likes the heroine's character.

She was originally a daughter of a wealthy family, but was switched at birth and became a dancer in the Paramount. However, even as a dancer, she was the queen of dance and the most beautiful among all the girls.

Isn't this a true portrayal of herself?

She feels that after filming this drama, her image will be more stable and her career will reach a higher level.

However, Fan Bingbing still has some regrets.

If I had known earlier that Lu Zhiyuan was so good at taking portraits, I should have asked him to come over and be my exclusive photographer. It would definitely have doubled my value.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Jing Tian is such a poor fool. It was like a blind cat catching a dead mouse. This time she managed to get a talented person.

……

“Shishi, come and take a look… I’ve looked through all the artistic photos of Jing Tian I could find online, and none of them compare to the ones Lu Zhiyuan took of her.

"How did he discover that photographing Jing Tian from this angle can avoid the flaws in her facial features and show all her beauty?"

"These eyes are too poisonous!"

"If he's willing to shoot a music video for me, I'm confident that I can make all those nerds on the internet kneel down and lick my photos."

Yang Mi pulled her little sister Liu Shishi and talked incessantly.

She regrets so much.

That day, when Lu Zhiyuan sent her an email, she didn't reply immediately... Actually, it's not her fault.

Because, at that time, she was participating in a talk show.

Moreover, this kind of work project docking is handled by the agent.

Her agent, Zeng Jia, has been doing a good job.

But no one expected that this negligence would lead to the loss of a huge pie falling from the sky.

Topping the MTV charts, surpassing Jay Chou and JJ.

Yang Mi had never eaten such a delicious cake even in her dreams, and Lu Zhiyuan fed it to Jing Tian's mouth for free.

I'm really jealous.

"Well, he's really good at taking portraits. I heard that he wants to make a movie recently, but he's still short of a leading actress. You could give it a try."

Liu Shishi was standing beside them, speaking softly.

In fact, she also felt a little regretful.

Because she also received the email.

However, she knew her limitations and that with her voice she couldn't even speak the lines well, let alone sing.

When listening to Liu Shishi talking about the movie, Yang Mi shook her head and was not very optimistic.

"Lu Zhiyuan is great at making music videos, but that doesn't mean he's great at making movies. Besides, it's a rural suspense film, which is too niche. I don't think it will work."

At this stage, the agency has positioned Yang Mi as a young actress in ancient costume based on her personality and appearance, and she is smart and cute.

One more thing: the role should be articulate. Yang Mi's role is very consistent with her own personality, and she has played many memorable roles.

[Guo Xiang], [Qingwen], and [Xuejian] are all characters of this type.

At this time, if she went to shoot a suspense movie with a rural theme, it would not improve her status at all, but would make her positioning unclear.

In the entertainment industry, it is very important to have your own ecological niche.

The competition in the field of young actresses in ancient costume dramas is extremely fierce, and it is easy to fall behind if you are not careful.

She couldn't afford the gamble.

"If you don't want to go, why did you ask Brother Kun to meet you for dinner?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Liu Shishi's eyes.

"Work is work, and personal relationships are personal relationships. One more friend means one more path. What if this movie is a success, and they want to make a commercial blockbuster next? Wouldn't that be my chance?"

Rural suspense films are too niche and have absolutely no effect on Yang Mi's commercial value.

She didn't want to be filmed at all.

But if Lu Zhiyuan was shooting a commercial blockbuster with an investment of more than 3000 million, she would definitely fight for the resources with red eyes!
"Oh."

Liu Shishi pretended to understand and nodded.

Inadvertently, I breathed a sigh of relief.

If Yang Mi doesn't want to act, then she can grab the role, which shouldn't ruin the sisterhood.

In fact, not long ago, she received a text message from Xin Yukun.

"Shishi, Ayuan said our film is going to be screened at Cannes. I'm only telling you this secret."

The role requires an audition.

Xin Yukun was only the assistant director, helping to contact the main actors, but the final decision was made by Lu Zhiyuan.

Whether it is Yang Mi or Li Xiaolu, they are both candidates for the heroine proposed by Lu Zhiyuan. They are two of the more popular young actresses at the moment.

Especially Yang Mi.

When "Chinese Paladin III" was broadcast, it became very popular.

It is obvious that Lu Zhiyuan wants to take advantage of Sister Mi's popularity to increase the box office.

……

Next.

Yang Mi and Liu Shishi packed up briefly and went out to have a meal with Xin Yukun.

At the table, Yang Mi joked with Xin Yukun casually and talked about interesting things in school. Both of them were students of Beijing Film Academy, so it was natural for them to talk about school.

Liu Shishi sat quietly in the corner the whole time, eating in small bites and unable to get a word in.

Halfway through the meal, Yang Mi went outside to pay the bill in a very polite manner, and then left first, making an excuse that she had something to do.

She politely declined this project.

But you can't offend anyone.

Only Xin Yukun and Liu Shishi were left in the box.

"Shishi, Ayuan is optimistic about her, but I'm optimistic about you. This is the process of tomorrow's interview and the questions Ayuan is likely to ask. Be prepared."

For some reason, Xin Yukun admired Liu Shishi the first time he saw her.

He had a special feeling that as long as Liu Shishi came to their project, their project would be a hit.

"Get ready, I'm leaving now."

Liu Shishi is very quiet and doesn't talk much. Xin Yukun likes this kind of quiet girl, unlike Yang Mi, who is noisy and noisy.

I guess Lu Zhiyuan, a quiet man, likes a girl like Yang Mi who is impetuous.

But he is not.

"Brother Kun, wait a moment."

Liu Shishi hesitated for a moment, her face blushing, and she took out an envelope from her bag and quietly put it into Xin Yukun's hand.

"Brother Kun, I know the rules."

A suspense film with a rural theme is naturally not a good resource.

But if this film is going to hit Cannes.

Regardless of success or failure, it is a matter of art, and it instantly elevates the overall tone of the film.

As the heroine, Liu Shishi certainly also enjoys some benefits.

Moreover, even if the movie fails, what if Lu Zhiyuan feels bad and wants to write a song for himself and shoot an MV?
How should I accept it?
Is it a euphemism for expressing gratitude?

Or agree with an enthusiastic smile?

In short, I, Liu Shishi, have decided to shoot this movie!
I don’t understand what Yang Mi is disgusted with.

"Too much."

When Xin Yukun touched the envelope and saw a thick stack of paper, he knew that Liu Shishi had given him too much.

At least 1 yuan.

Normally, giving three thousand is enough as a token of your appreciation.

"Brother Kun, I also want to shoot an MV."

Of course Liu Shishi knew that he had given too much. Before stuffing the money into the bag, he specifically asked Boss Cai for advice.

The reason why she gave a few thousand extra was because she also had some ambitions.

Yang Mi only knows how much she envies Jing Tian. Why don’t you take some practical action?

"You have a lot of ideas."

Xin Yukun was not surprised by Liu Shishi's thoughts.

Just ask those female celebrities, who doesn’t want Lu Zhiyuan to help shoot an MV now?
At this moment, he looked at Liu Shishi very seriously for a few times, and finally shook his head: "But, you can't."

"why?"

Liu Shishi frowned and felt that she could do it.

"I don't want to hurt your self-esteem. There are some things I'd rather not say."

Xin Yukun looked at Liu Shishi again, finally shook his head, turned and left.

You are not a rich woman!
It does not help our cause at all.

"You don't want to hurt my pride?"

Liu Shishi looked down at her chest, then compared it with Jing Tian. Suddenly she understood something and became very angry!

snort!
I'm going to complain to Ayuan, saying that you took my money and hurt my self-esteem!
