I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 208 206. This profiteer (Wan Zi! Thanks to the leader of "Don't Go Home Tonight"!)

   Ten o'clock at night.

   "Director... let's go. Everyone has been waiting for a day, and I'm probably exhausted at the moment... Let everyone go back and rest, how about it?"

  Sitting on the director’s platform, Zhang Yimou stared at the falling rain above the sky after hearing Xu Xin’s words…

  He nodded with sunken eye sockets:

   "Let's withdraw."

  Hearing this, everyone picked up the walkie-talkie.

  Then... noisy voices sounded from all directions.

"…well."

  After Xu Xin gave his orders, he leaned on the chair and sighed helplessly.

   Another day's progress was delayed.

  The actors in the Bird's Nest auditorium also began to retreat one after another.

  Xu Xin specially sent a message to Lang Lang expressing his apology.

   I got a message saying "Haha, it's okay, it's a long story. Don't get angry, I'll come back tomorrow".

   When the crowd was pouring out, Xu Xin rarely said something to Zhang Yimou:

   "How about...director, let's go to worship God too?"

   "..."

  Zhang Yimou was a little speechless.

   "Didn't you say that if you have that skill, why not dig a drainage ditch?"

   "It's okay if I'm wrong..."

  While speaking, Xu Xin clasped his hands together and soared to the sky and bowed:

   "Your old man, forgive me for my childish words. I was wrong. Let's stop, okay?"

  The sound of "didi da da" rain is still the same.

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

  Looking at his sloppy manner, the others didn't know what to say.

  Just leaning on the chair with a tired face, staring at the field covered with raincloths in a daze.

  As if waiting to see the next second, God forgives Xiao Xu, extrajudicial grace, the rain really stopped is a reason.

Foolishly…

   and other results.

   And then... waited after 12 o'clock, realized again...

   Ah, another day closer to the Olympics.

  That kind of absurd feeling, telling a joke, is like waiting for the autumn queen to be killed.

  Know when to die.

   Know how to die.

   There is nothing I can do, I can only quietly wait for that day to come.

  There is nothing scarier in this world...

  …

  Outside the nest.

   "Xiao Xu, when you go back, help me put this document in my office? I won't make a trip."

  Listening to Wei Lanfang's words, Xu Xin was taken aback for a moment, as if he wanted to say something...but finally nodded:

"OK."

  But his dazed appearance made Wei Lanfang subconsciously ask:

   "Aren't you going back there?"

   "It's okay, I'll just take a trip."

   "...Don't, I thought you were going back there to rest, so I asked you to run for me. Are you going back tonight?"

"Um."

  Xu Xin nodded, pointing to the suit on his body:

   "It's been worn for two days, and it's all rotten. She's coming back tonight... If she sees that I didn't take the dirty clothes home, it might cause a fryer. So I hurried back."

   "Where did you go again?"

   "Shanghai Metropolis has gone to shoot the new Adidas commercial."

   "Okay, then go back quickly, I will run by myself."

  After hearing what Wei Lanfang said, Xu Xin still reached out for the documents:

   "It's okay, I'll just take a trip, sister Wei, don't you have to go around too."

   "It's nothing for me to circle around, you can't do it... go back and rest, I'm leaving first."

   Wei Lanfang waved his hand and walked directly to his own car.

   Seeing this, Xu Xin didn't stop him.

  He was indeed a little tired.

   drove home.

   All the way back home, as expected... A commercial vehicle has already parked at the door.

  Yang Mi has returned.

at the same time…

  The rain stopped.

  Xu Xin parked the car on the steps outside the door, staring blankly at the wipers scraping against the glass, his ears filled with the sound of rubber rubbing against the glass.

   Then he couldn't help but swear.

   walked into the house with a plastic bag of dirty clothes.

   And hearing the sound of the door opening, the door of the main hall was pushed open.

   It was Wu Qiqi who opened the door.

   "Brother Xu!"

"Um."

  Xu Xin responded, and saw Yang Mi also appearing at the door.

  However, unlike Wu Qiqi who greeted at the door, she went out of the room directly, looked at her boyfriend's sunken eye sockets, and pointed to the kitchen:

   "The medicine is in the kitchen, go drink it."

"okay."

   After giving her the plastic bag of dirty clothes, she turned and walked into the kitchen.

   There is a small porcelain cup in the kitchen. After opening, there is still warm Chinese medicine inside.

  He didn't know what this thing was for, anyway, he had been drinking it since the cold, one bag a day.

  I haven't had a drink today.

  Because I had finished drinking what I brought with me this time, I didn't expect my girlfriend to have already prepared it for me according to the day.

  In fact, it can be seen from here that he is very different from before.

  Basic food, housing, transportation and daily life are taken care of by his girlfriend clearly.

   It's impossible to leave her.

  Yang Mi is always keeping her promise.

  Turned her boyfriend into a trash who couldn't live without her.

  Drank up the medicine in the kitchen, found sour plum soup in the refrigerator, took another big gulp, and after the bitterness in his mouth faded away, he went to the bathroom after he came out.

  I had no interest in taking a bath at first, I just wanted to take a quick shower and rest.

  As a result, as soon as I entered the bathroom, I saw that the bathtub was already filled with a pool of hot water.

   is for myself.

  If your girlfriend wants to take a bath, she will definitely get some beauty and skin care bath salts to take a bubble bath.

  Seeing this, his heart warmed up, he hurriedly rushed down, and lay down directly in the bathtub.

  The warm water quickly submerged the whole person.

  No massage function.

  He finds it noisy.

  The noise of the Olympic Games made him have an instinctive pursuit of "quietness".

   While lying there enjoying the tranquility, about five or six minutes later, he heard voices outside:

   "Sister Mimi, let's go...do you really ignore the matter of the post bar?"

   "Well, don't worry about it, just pretend you can't see it. Just go back and rest, good night."

  Xu Xin was taken aback.

   Post it?

  What happened to the Post Bar?

   After thinking for a while, he sat up and went to the dressing table outside to pick up his phone.

  He himself did not post it.

  So I opened the webpage directly, found "Yang Mi Bar" and clicked in.

   Want to see what's going on.

  For more than half a year, he knew almost nothing about his girlfriend's career.

   One is that I am not in the mood.

   After giving his girlfriend the first draft script adapted by several screenwriters from Xiying Studio, and asking her to go deep into the inner world of "Gu Xiaomeng", he never paid attention to it again. And Yang Mi didn't tell him, apart from talking to her boyfriend before every business trip, she didn't talk about other career matters.

  Decompress him as much as possible.

  And now that he heard it today, he said to himself...don't let anything happen to his girlfriend. In the past year, he has been very unqualified as a boyfriend, but now that he knows it, if he doesn't care, then he is really heartless.

   Click on the post bar, and then see many themes:

   "Brothers, why hasn't the Tang people officially announced Mimi's joining?"

   "Everyone, please be sober, no one stipulates that after being voted out, you must act."

   "Laughed. It's amazing to find someone who has never played the game to play the fairy sword."

   "What about the small bar? Didn't you say to communicate with Mimi? What's the result?"

  The topic posts one after another made Xu Xin a little confused.

   And at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

   "Hey, what are you doing?"

  Xu Xin instinctively responded, and then the bathroom door was pushed open.

   "Elder Tang~ Hehehehehehe..."

   "..."

  The never-ending stalk strikes again.

  But this time Xu Xin didn't answer it, but raised his phone and asked:

   "What's the matter with these posts in your post bar?"

"Well…"

  Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, and asked in bewilderment:

   "When did you start following my post?"

   "Just now I heard Sun Ting asking you there, so I just watched it... What's going on? Tang people? Filming Immortal Sword? Isn't Immortal Sword finished filming?"

   While speaking, Yang Mi had already walked to the edge of the bathtub.

   Didn’t look at her boyfriend’s phone, just picked it up and put it on the uneven grid next to her, then put her hand in the bathtub to disturb the water, and said:

   "Small problem, it's okay... Hey, Xiao Xinxin, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you miss my sister? Ouch~ let my sister be rare~"

   "I'm talking about business with you."

  Seeing that she suddenly lost her tune, Xu Xin was speechless:

   "What's going on?"

   "Well, Tang Ren wanted to ask me to make "Sword of Heaven", but I didn't accept it."

  The girlfriend who has reached into the water shrugged casually:

"They probably got used to the popularity of "Sword and Sword III", you know? Long before the filming started, I didn't know where to find a girl who looked very much like Liu Yifei. It just so happened that her surname was also Liu, and her name was Liu Zhishi, and then I started. Promote something like "Liu Yifei's cousin", and then announce that "Sword and Sword III" will be filmed."

   "...then how did you get here?"

   "Mistake in strategy. They screwed up~"

   Yang Mi said, she got up and took off her nightdress.

   And Xu Xin naturally stopped lying down, but sat up to make room for her.

  By the way, he took a pack of bubble bath salts from behind and threw it into the water.

  Yang Mi was lying opposite him, and continued:

"After finding this actor, they announced the filming plan of "Chinese Paladin III". In order to help Liu Zhishi gain momentum, they made a poll from netizens and chose the actor who is most suitable for the first heroine of "Chinese Paladin III". It probably means : As long as you choose, if you get the first place, we will talk. Then Shu Chang, Zhou Xun, Lin Xinru, these people are all there. Of course, I am also there. Everyone has it, except Liu Yifei. Then Liu Zhishi The poster is still hanging there... To put it bluntly, it is just mocking Liu Yifei. There are quite a lot of people who voted..."

   "And you won?"

   "That's right... I killed everyone, and they combined are not as tall as me."

   "...?"

   Now, Xu Xin was really surprised:

   "Are you so angry?"

   "It has nothing to do with that, it's mainly due to the fans of the fairy sword game, you know?"

  Two little feet that had just had their nails done at first glance were pasted on her boyfriend's invisible pectoral muscles. Yang Mi said with a smile:

"In May, didn't I compete with the big old king to clear the level faster? Then I posted my own level clearance progress to my own post bar. At that time, this news hadn't come out yet, so I was with the post bar. People gossiping.

   Then we chatted floor by floor, and everyone might think that I really know Xianjian... I really do. right? Then came the news. As soon as the voting started, the fans of Xianjian began to swipe their votes for me frantically, and I was the first.

  You don’t even know...At the beginning, many people said that I had a premeditated plan...to cooperate with the hype of the Tang people. I was shot while lying down, okay? The big old king and I are just clearing the level faster than anyone else. When I played the game, the Tang people hadn't released the news yet. But I took this opportunity to contact Liu Yifei.

   Hey, you know what? I guessed it right...she can only hang out in the Hong Kong circle now. Then when I told her about it, I sniffed. Although she didn't tell me clearly, I could tell that she hated Liu Zhishi very much.

  If I act, as long as Liu Zhishi can outshine Liu Zhishi in the limelight, and only need to manipulate our friendship a little, then she will definitely be angry. After all, in recent years, the Tang people have used her consumption enthusiasm every day, and she is also annoyed. "

   "Then why not answer?"

   "Because I want to accompany you."

  Yang Mi shrugged, fiddled with the foam that had gradually emerged from the water, and said:

"After the first round of voting, the Tang people did come to me. But when I heard that the filming plan was scheduled for August, I rejected it. You have been busy for two years, and it is so easy to take a break. I can't spend time with you? What's more I still have to think about Gu Xiaomeng, the drama is too long...so I didn't pick it up.

  The company wanted me to pick it up, after all, no one expected..."Wulin Biography" could become such a hit. I heard from Sister Zeng that because of the unsatisfactory progress of "Dream of Red Mansions", the atmosphere in the company's recent meetings was not very good. Now some people have started to bad-mouth this drama, probably because they knew it was so thankless, so it would be better to choose Yang Mi as Lin Daiyu in the first place.

  The company has spent so much resources on this film, if it is not done well, it will definitely lose its vitality. At this time, they need a ratings sign to stop the bleeding, but I definitely don't get involved, you don't know...that show is messed up.

  I've heard a few gossip, and anyway... it's not very good. Then the company began to formulate a way out. As soon as Tang Ren contacted me, the company wanted me to accept it, but after I refused, I asked Sister Zeng to release the news.

  It probably means that my two most popular dramas were won by myself, and "Golden Armor" was the same. The company didn't give me enough support, and then threatened me with "Dream of Red Mansions". Now I accept it out of love, and not in it is my duty. Now many companies, including Tangren, have started to approach me.

  When the contract ends next year, there will be basically no so-called ungrateful gossip. However, I still made two-handed preparations, that is, the draft I just told you about, and the resources about my rise and popularity are all run by myself. As long as there is something wrong, I will talk to a few well-connected media and let it out, and I will still be innocent. "

   It seems that these words have not been said to others for a long time, and they are all backlogged in my heart.

   It seemed that I saw my boyfriend was too tired and wanted to tell him something else to distract him from the anxiety about the Olympics.

  In short, Yang Mi talked a lot.

  The kind that can’t even stop.

   Xu Xin nodded while listening.

  There is nothing wrong with what my girlfriend did...and to put it bluntly, there are many familiar flavors in her choices.

  So I couldn't help but say:

   "My dad is about to hand over the bottom of the box to you."

   "Hey~"

  The girl who heard this said with a smile on her face:

"Then my apprentice is also up to the challenge. Uncle Xu is so powerful. If I were an idiot, I wouldn't be able to learn anything. Wouldn't it be in vain? ... But it is true, I really learned a lot from Uncle Xu. Sometimes I follow his Thinking about it, I suddenly discovered that many things in this world are actually not difficult. As long as you look at the problem from a different angle, everything will be solved."

"And then? If it's just a vote, it shouldn't be all over now, is there still trouble in the post bar? ... They started filming in August, and it is obviously unrealistic if the voting ends now. There are few such things as Fu Huadao, interior and exterior scenes, and script directors. Two or three months of preparation period, right? Why are you still asking now?"

   "Because they are rascals."

  Yang Mi shrugged her shoulders with a disdainful tone:

   "Now I understand why Liu Yifei called them hooligans. You said that you want to find actors for normal scenes, and I can shoot them. Then let's discuss the cost and so on, and then join the group, right?"

"Um."

  Xu Xin responded:

   "If you don't want to shoot or don't have a schedule, just say it and find someone else, so don't delay their business."

"That's right. When I knew their filming schedule, I told you that I didn't have time for the second half of the year, and I had other arrangements. So thank you, forget it, and work together again when I have the opportunity. You said that I am a young actor... It’s not like a company as big as Tangren is so flattering, right? I’m so flattered.”

  The words are very good, but the speechless expression on her face cannot be faked:

   "It's over after everyone got together and parted ways. Guess what happened?"

"how?"

   "Another round of voting."

   "..."

   Seeing Xu Xin's speechless appearance, Yang Mi nodded:

"Really, the second round came again. But the problem is that I rejected the first round, and you can give the fans an explanation. Hey, no, no. Even the list has changed a few. I'm still in it …and then number one again…”

   "Why? Use public opinion to force you?"

  Xu Xin is happy:

   "Really or not... Tang Ren... is not a small company."

"But they are so rogue. I know that when the second round of voting started, I was speechless. Then a person was added in this round... who is also related to the Olympic Games. His name is Tang Yan, have you heard of it? ?”

  Xu Xin shook his head.

   "Who is relative?"

   "It's not a relative, the Athens Olympics, she is one of the women's dance teams playing the erhu, the Olympic baby chosen by Director Zhang."

"Well…"

   Now, Xu Xin was really stunned.

  Looked blankly at his girlfriend:

   "Eight minutes of darkness?"

   "Yes, she is a member of it, and she is also an actress. Strictly speaking, she started to enter the industry last year, and this year's "The Long Song of Zhenguan" is her official debut. She appears in this list..."

   "...killed you?"

"That's not true. To be precise, after I rejected it for the first time, Tang Ren planned to let her act, and then left a set photo to see the market's reaction. But... the big guy didn't buy it, so I got it." The second vote. In the second round, I was still number one. But they didn't ask me again."

  Hearing this, Xu Xin immediately reacted and asked:

   "Find a way out for yourself?"

"That's right. Again and again, even if Tang Yan's filming is not good, they will have something to say. For example, I didn't give me face after looking for me twice, so I chose Tang Yan and the like... Hey, so It seems that Liu Yifei is quite smart. A fairy sword stopped the loss in time. When encountering this kind of rogue method, that is me, I can talk to them and let others try it. I have already been burned by this method. "

  When she said this, Yang Mi's eyes were full of complacency and confidence.

   Indeed, let’s not talk about whether others can see through these twists and turns at the moment, even if they can see it, they may already start to worry about what to do if this happens.

   It's like Jay Chou's cognition.

  These two together...

  Eight hundred minds.

  When Yang Mi said this, Xu Xin was speechless:

   "You don't want to drag Liu Yifei into the water, do you?"

   "...hehehehehe~"

  The girl was instantly happy.

   Then start arching in the bathtub full of foam.

   Arching and arching, she arched from her feet into her boyfriend's arms.

  Lying in that warm chest, she held Xu Xin's face and lightly pecked:

"It has to be my brother, no one else... Everyone is worried that I might offend a lot of fans if Tang Ren does this. But they are all wrong... Tang Ren is not Hua Yi, they don't have that much energy. Really. Energy will not use this kind of hooliganism...That's right, I just plan to drag Liu Yifei into the water...Because I have already asked. Why didn't she sign Huayi?"

"Why?"

"Her mother doesn't agree...and her godfather doesn't agree either. I don't know the specific reason, but it's true, the two of them broke their promise, understand? They were not kind, they agreed at first, but they played Hua Yi directly. Can righteousness be used to you? Anyway, such a big company, if you don't mess with it, how will you meet people in the world?

  However, apart from this way of grabbing her resources, Hua Yi didn't dare to go too far. After all...he has a good family background, understand? If you don't look at the monk's face, you have to look at the Buddha's face. Although Honglu Temple is a Qingshui yamen, not everyone can be messed with. Therefore, I guess her mother and her godfather also dared to break the contract brazenly because of their relationship... Tsk tsk, really. If things go on like this, I guess she will be tricked to death by these two people. "

   "..."

   Now, Xu Xin stopped talking.

   Instead, his brain began to spin rapidly.

   Tired?

   Not tired.

   On the contrary, this kind of thing is compared to the Olympics...

  The little is the big.

   Let’s just say it’s a way to relax.

   After being silent for a while, he shook his head:

   "This time, if she is not awake, then you are doing useless work. Moreover, there is a premise for everything you are doing now, that is...you have to get up first and be able to hold on. Understand?"

   After speaking, without waiting for his girlfriend to answer, he continued:

"But you don't have to worry about this matter. With me here, don't be afraid. But if... even according to your idealized result, she is really willing to submit a certificate for you, but the two black and white impermanence are behind you, and you will Headache.

  So, unless she can really think clearly by herself, she has grown up, is an adult, and can think independently. And I am willing to believe in some... people who know more about the rules of this circle and are more professional, instead of trying to make myself a private company that sells face with a small budget and eats youth food.

  Otherwise, although I don't deny her market...but in the end she is still a BURDEN (burden), understand? "

   After saying this, Yang Mi was surprised:

   "Yeah, when did you start learning English?"

   "Don't mention it, the people of the International Olympic Organizing Committee are like a mother every day. After mixing with the translator for a long time, they will know a few words..."

  Seeing Xu Xin shaking his head, Yang Mi smiled even happier:

"Hehehe, Brother Wuli is awesome...you are right, indeed, if she is still followed by these two generals, I have to go around her too. But the premise of all this is based on... I am Under the premise that I don't want to accept "Sword of Heaven".

  If people in Tang Dynasty want to have a good talk, talk with sincerity, then everyone can sit at the same table and have a good chat. The problem is that they treat me like a persimmon, so I'm not used to them. As long as they dare to bring up the matter that I rejected them twice in a big way, I will directly say that I am for the sisterhood with Liu Yifei, and I don't want to see my friends being consumed like this.

  If you throw the bowl, I will overturn the table. Everyone, don't play~ Who told them not to pay attention to it first... In the casting itself, the actor of Sedum is Hu Jian, and without Liu Yifei, many people are dissatisfied. The card in my hand is equivalent to hitting their fate. Right? "

"Um…"

  Xu Xin nodded.

   Indeed, there is nothing wrong with what my girlfriend did.

  Hide a knife in a smile and a needle in a cotton.

   There are soft and hard.

  Every aspect has been considered.

but…

   "I don't know if you're on top of their lives...but you're on top of me..."

   "...Then let's skip the washing and get straight to the point, shall we?"

   A hot breath hit Xu Xin's ear.

  Xu Xin shrugged:

   "To be honest, I'm kind of tired..."

   "It's okay, just lie down..."

  …

  The next day.

  It's sunny and thin!

   Ho!

   What a beautiful day!

  Xu Xin wasn't lying at all.

because…

   It's really sunny.

  When the big sun shone through the window into the room, he opened his eyes in a daze, and the moment he saw this ray of light, the drowsiness in Xu Xin's mind disappeared without a trace.

   "Ouch!"

   I don't know how to sleep like this. The girl who was sleeping with her head on her boyfriend's belly suddenly lost her strength and hit her head on the mattress.

   Opened his eyes in a daze:

   "What are you doing..."

   "It's dawn! I have to go!"

   Xu Xin, who was clutching his trousers and putting them on his legs, said hastily.

  Yang Mi was speechless.

   Then the eyes turned...

   "Oh yes, go, go, my husband will be back soon!"

"Uh-huh?"

   Xu Xin, who instinctively responded, was suddenly taken aback...

   Turned his head blankly, looking at his girlfriend who seemed to be smiling but not smiling...

   "Are you sick? What the hell?"

   "Goose Goose Goose Goose Goose Goose Goose~~"

  Yang Mi laughed like crazy.

   "Hey, your reaction is so funny, you still promised... goose goose goose goose..."

   "Nonsense, I didn't realize it. What you said is really human!"

  Xu Xin said angrily:

   "That's why I trust you so much... You can try someone else, it will definitely blow up."

   "I don't care about the proficient things you promised, goose goose goose goose goose goose..."

  Yang Mile rolled on the bed happily.

   "Your reaction is so funny... ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Neuropathy!"

  Given her a blank look, Xu Xin jumped up while not paying attention.

"Snapped!"

"ah!!"

  Yang Mi covered her buttocks and let out a scream.

   Then when he raised his head, Xu Xin had already walked out of the house without looking back.

   Now, she was not in the mood to play around, and quickly shouted:

   "Brush your teeth! Haven't brushed your teeth and washed your face yet!"

   "Swipe over there, I'm leaving!"

   "Hey, I'm really..."

  Yang Mi was speechless, shook her head and glanced at the time on her phone, then turned her head and covered herself with the quilt...

   This morning's standing pigeon.

   My legs are sore, sleep!

  …

  Facts have proved that Xu Xin is not the only one who is excited.

  When the sunny day came out, all the Olympic participants were also very excited.

  Even with the heat island effect and high temperature that comes with this sunny day...

   But that's the case, for Yanjing City, which has been looking at the gray sky for more than half a month, it is enough for everyone to be happy.

  In the morning, the drainage system of the venue started to fire.

   And many staff also started sweeping the water with big brooms. Sweep away all the water stored in the places where the road surface is not smooth.

  By the time Xu Xin arrived, the Meteorological Bureau had already received a week's weather forecast.

Everyone seems to have forgotten that the people from the Meteorological Bureau were still saying "it will not rain" and the rain fell for several hours. Looking at the weather forecast for this week, all the weather in Tongzhou, Chongwen, Tianjin, Performers in Hebei and other places began to mobilize.

  Zhang Yimou ordered that all go to Beijing and enter the overall rehearsal stage.

  In one day, all personnel were mobilized.

  In the evening, more than 20,000 performers and behind-the-scenes staff gathered at the Bird's Nest.

   Under the scorching heat, after dark, the first overall rehearsal began.

   And today is also the rehearsal for the director.

  Zhang Wu has been in the director's supervision team's office all day, simulating various situations with various film crews, and reviewing the broadcast plan prepared in advance.

   Then, in the early 8:00 pm, the rehearsal officially began.

  In fact, to be honest, because it was a rehearsal, the costumes were not changed directly, and at the same time, these important links such as the flag raising ceremony were only replaced by music. In addition, these links are arranged by the entire director team after deliberation, deliberation, and deliberation day and night.

  The current rehearsal session, the mood of the big guys is not particularly excited.

   On the contrary, everyone is looking at it with a kind of scrutiny.

   Watch these shows.

because…

   It is only half a month before the Olympic Games.

  The rehearsal these days is the last chance.

   If there is something inappropriate or needs to be changed, the final modification must be made again.

  The rehearsal, from the very beginning of playing the pot, to the Olympic gift and movable type printing, all the processes were carried out in an orderly manner under the command of each sub-director.

   And Xu Xin was not idle either.

  He directed the LED large screen working group on the viewing platform to start to deal with the black screen.

   Each black screen area has a sensor and is monitored by software in real time.

   On the day of the Olympics, his project team had to do very simple, where the screen went black, it would restart within 6 seconds.

   That's it.

  So what everyone has to do is to repeat and repeat, try to enter the restart command within six seconds of the black screen sensed by the software, so that no black shadow appears on the screen.

   After several months of running-in, the technicians in the team have indeed been handy in handling this aspect.

   Then, at the end of movable type printing, Zhang Yimou took the walkie-talkie and said:

   "Preparation for shadow puppetry and puppet show during intermission transition."

   After the movable type printing cover was lifted and the actors waved to the camera with peach blossoms, Zhang Wu said directly:

   "The lights are off! Interlude 1, shadow puppets, get ready!"

   After a few seconds, all the lights dimmed.

  After getting used to it for a while, several shadow puppets made up of huge light tubes appeared on the edge of the Olympic venue and began to move vividly.

   But no one said anything.

  Everyone is watching with scrutiny.

   Even in the dark, there were people holding their mobile phones and starting the time.

   At the end of the gigantic shadow puppets following the opera bangzi performance and connecting to the "Flying Dance" link representing the Silk Road of ancient civilization, Zhang Yimou shouted:

   "Okay, stop. Put aside the shadow puppets, all the actors, get ready for the puppet show."

  The lights were turned on again, and the people who were wearing shadow puppets did not leave the stage, but came to the lower right corner of the entire director's platform, and came to the top of a puppet show stage, or surrounded the stage, or waited in line on both sides.

  After waiting for the signal that the preparations were completed, the sound of gongs and drums sounded again.

   "Boom choke choke choke choke, clang, clang, clang, clang..."

  Four national intangible cultural heritage puppet show masters manipulated puppets and began to perform with gongs and drums.

  The actors who were still promoting shadow puppets just now changed into a rather playful clown image, and made various series around the puppet stage...

   Then, the puppet show ends.

   At this moment of the performance, only half an hour has passed.

   "Very well, let's take a break first."

  After Zhang Yimou took the walkie-talkie and gave an order, all the directors including Xu Xin surrounded him.

   "What do you think? Is it a shadow play or a puppet show?"

   As early as March of this year, this issue has appeared in the debate of the creative team.

be honest.

  Is the effect of shadow puppetry good?

very good.

   But there is a problem.

  The duration of the shadow play is as long as 5 minutes and 33 seconds.

   As an actor waiting for "Flying Dance", the intermission is a bit too long.

   Unfortunately, Zhang Yimou liked this part very much.

  But some people, including Xu Xin, felt that the intermission was too long. In that kind of bleak venue, a few shadow puppets could not be said to be able to perform with "real knives and real guns" like ordinary shadow puppets. Because of the huge Taoist form, they can only use literary operas in shadow puppetry.

   It's just white, it's like doing a mechanical dance.

  Five minutes and 33 seconds...

   Too extravagant.

  So, the two sides have differences again.

  But everyone is used to this kind of debate, so they have been thinking about whether to remove the shadow puppetry, and after removing it, what should be used to express some intangible cultural heritage programs of the Chinese Dynasty.

   At first it was just an argument.

  But Xu Xin put forward an idea that is very interesting.

That is:

"It's best to think of a plan for this kind of thing in advance, notify the people of the shadow puppetry, and then find an alternative plan to continue to implement. Otherwise... the shadow puppetry is the plan we first decided. From production to rehearsal, everyone has already paid close to this set of things. Two years of time cost. Many people are not psychologically prepared for a sudden replacement... not very good.

  So I think it is best for us to come up with another plan and tell everyone. Let everyone be prepared, and tell them clearly: We have not thought about whether the shadow puppets will be used or not. After there is a buffer, if it is finally found that it is really not good, after removing it, these fighters with great enthusiasm will not be lost because the show is gone. "

   This scheme seems absurd at first.

  With such a big part of the Olympic Games, every actor in charge of a single program is actually under a lot of pressure.

   It's not enough to get one set... Two sets are needed...

  What if the two programs are not done well?

  But Xu Xin's real idea is indeed this... plus he is a firm "Puppet Shadow School", so after a few days of research, Zhang Yimou decided to adopt Xu Xin's plan.

   Tell the soldiers about this.

  So, although everyone heard that the shadow puppetry that has been practiced for more than a year may be rejected in the end...Although it feels uncomfortable, it is not unacceptable.

   After all, it was just changing the program, not the entire group of people.

   Therefore, they are the only team in the Olympic Games with "two programs".

  As for today's first official rehearsal, after performing two sessions, they didn't feel any loss or worry, they just quietly waited for the director's team's decision.

in the end…

   Which one do you want.

   "A puppet show of three minutes and 12 seconds. As an interlude, I think it is very suitable."

  Xu Xin took the stopwatch on his mobile phone and showed it to everyone.

   It is considered that the opinion has been expressed.

   Followed by others...

  To be honest, as soon as the results of today’s big rehearsal came out, everyone more or less already had the answer in their hearts.

   Indeed...

  The expected effect of the shadow puppet show... without the fighting scenes of generals and terracotta warriors. Compared with the concept of other programs, the artistic conception is not bad, but it is missing.

   On the contrary, it is not as full as the simplicity of a puppet show as an interlude.

  Defects don't mean regrets.

  Full does not mean perfect.

  But it’s true... If we talk about the link of "intermission".

   Obviously puppet show is better than shadow play.

   Zhang Yimou, who has the final decision-making power, frowned and stared at the scene for a while, then nodded:

   "Use a puppet show. Remove the shadow puppets. What do you think?"

"agree."

"good."

"so be it…"

  …

   A big dress rehearsal ended successfully.

   Busy until close to 1 o'clock in the evening.

  From lighting coordination, to director angle, to rehearsal.

  Everything needs to be in perfect harmony, without any mistakes.

   And in terms of rehearsals.

It can be said…

very successful.

  But... After the puppet show or shadow puppetry was decided, when the rehearsal was over, everyone was not at ease.

  Because compared to the next thing to do the experiment...

  The shadow puppets and puppets in the intermission are just a little bit of a big deal.

   "All actors cleared."

   "Security personnel check all rooms and exits to make sure that irrelevant personnel leave."

   "Security in place."

   "Security group in place."

   One order after another was issued.

  After all the actors were ordered to leave the bird's nest, there were only more than 300 professional "security guards" who were responsible for the security of the bird's nest in such a big bird's nest, guarding all the entrances that might spy on the bird's nest.

   And all the directors also waited with bated breath.

  Waiting for the moment when the middle-aged man coming out of the actor's tunnel hangs up the stunt rope.

   Tonight.

  Top-secret link: The "Torch Ignition" link is officially released for the first time.

  Although the torch will not be ignited, the purpose of this rehearsal is to test the perfect connection between the high-altitude walk and the torch lighting.

  However, in the past Olympic Games, how the torch is lit is a top secret among top secrets.

   It must not be exposed until the moment of the opening of the Olympic Games.

   Today is no exception.

And just as the main torch was lit, the first gymnastics grand slam winner of the Chinese Olympic Games, the "Prince of Gymnastics", the chairman of the domestic first-line sports brand "LI-NING" group, Li Shi, under the pull of the hook rope, slowed down. Slow lift off.

   striding in the air...

   ran up.

  Xu Xin's gaze unconsciously followed all the way, although he knew that the main torch would not be lit tonight, but would wait until the "official" rehearsal, when the leaders of the organizing committee came over to light the demonstration.

  However, his heartbeat still inevitably accelerated.

because…

   That was his masterpiece.

   "It must be successful..."

  Listening to Wei Lanfang's words next to him, Xu Xin was speechless, but silently clenched his fists.

   And Li Shi was also walking in the air step by step, and finally, he reached the lead connector from the torch... in front of it!

   "...???"

  Looking at Li Shi who was nearly one and a half meters away, and the torch in his hand could not reach the lead wire no matter what, Xu Xin was stunned:

   "This... what's going on!?"

   All of a sudden, he became anxious.

  But the next second, the voice of the security officer on the top of the bird's nest sounded from the intercom:

   "Director Zhang, the pulley block is working incorrectly...it is shortened, we will correct it immediately."

  Short...short?

  The moment Xu Xin heard the news, he instinctively complained:

   "I lost my old schemer...this profiteer..."

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

   Everyone was speechless.

   First of all, thank you for your support. Then there are two big chapters today, supplementing the update of the leader. Then the Olympic Games should end tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, officially opening a new chapter. As far as this chapter is concerned, I actually think the progress is quite fast, but the foreshadowing that should be buried is buried, and writing other things will really be water. Um! Thank you everyone! 20,000 words sincerely sent!
