I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 251 249. Betrayal, or Trust (Thanks to the leader of "Dongcheng Huangtu"!)

  The audition went really well.

  Basically all actors have been selected.

  Bai Xiaonian, a "special actor", after research by the director team, chose the curved actor Su Youpeng.

  Su Youpeng handled the slightly boyish smell very well.

  Especially that affectation tone.

  Although it's a bit suspected of regional blackness, it is true that in terms of tone, the curved actor has an advantage.

   As for the roles of "Wu Tian" and "Wu Zhiguo", after two rounds of auditions, Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Hanyu were finally selected.

  These three are all actors sent over by Huayi.

  In fact, it can be seen from here...

  The status of the industry leader is really not for nothing.

  The actors they send out are indeed capable.

   And other actors are not out of line.

  It’s just that everyone’s acting skills are equal, one is unknown, and the other is famous all over the world.

   The answer to who to choose is already clear at a glance.

  For this movie, Xiying Film Studio wants influence, so the more big names the better.

   There are many big names and great influence.

   This is an immutable law.

   Moreover, the remuneration price is also very reasonable and fair.

   No lion opened his mouth, but he looked like "everything is negotiable, and you don't care about the money when you watch a movie".

   Give Xiying Studio enough face.

   And the role of the female killer was played by Liu Yifei, who played in "Friendly Cameo".

  After Xu Xin sent the audition footage, she was fully affirmed by Xiying Studio from acting skills to commercial value.

   Even a little overjoyed.

  The lineup of this drama...

  Indistinctly, there is already a very scary sign.

  In addition, Yu Yu, who is unique in the cross talk world...

  Yang Mi, Liang Bingning, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xiaoming, Su Youpeng, Yu Yu, Liu Yifei...

  Except for the movie that only exists in legends and hasn’t read the script yet, but next year will definitely be a movie that is destined to gather heroes...

   As far as the single is concerned, the current lineup of the entire gift film that has signs is really far worse than this one.

   But there is a role, but it is difficult.

   That is Wang Tianxiang.

  Wang Tianxiang was about forty years old.

  Characters should be dark and deep, with a smiley face, cannibalism without spit out bones.

   Want to be vicious, but not vicious.

  At present, there are about three or more actors who come to audition, and there are many famous people among them.

   But Xu Xin was not satisfied.

   These people couldn't bring him the sense of oppression that belonged to Wang Tianxiang.

   This is what bothers him the most.

  That kind of... the fear that comes from the bones.

   I just couldn’t find it.

  After two rounds of auditions, how to get the role of Wang Tianxiang... still have no idea.

  What should I do?

  When Xu Xin was worrying, Qi Lei came to him and asked him for the definition of this role.

   "Smiling tiger."

   "There is no killing intent in the lines, but the killing intent is awe-inspiring."

   "The evil hides in the sun."  …

  Give all my definition of this role to Queen Qi Lei...

  December 4th.

  He came to the Beijing Office of Xiying Film Studio again.

  And this time, what was placed in front of him was a file folder containing eight people.

   and a U disk.

   "Wang Zhiwen, Wang Jinsong, Liu Yijun, Wang Yanhui, Sun Honglei, Duan Yihong, Ning Li, Jin Shijie."

   This is the name of the actor in the folder.

   And the U disk contains the audition clips of each of them.

  Xu Xin was a little confused.

  Holding the flash drive, looking at the information of these people in front of him, Qi Lei couldn't help asking:

   "All these people can?"

  Qi Lei nodded:

   "There are more in the back."

   "..."

  Xu Xin suddenly didn't know what to say.

   While inserting the USB flash drive into the computer, he asked:

   "It takes three visits to the thatched cottage to get it, right? They are all good actors... How did you get it? Even the audition footage?"

  Hearing this, Qi Lei replied very simply:

   "It's not that exaggerated, everyone has friendship before."

   "Good guy..."

  After feeling the energy of the behemoth of Xiying Studio again...he let out a sincere sigh:

   "I really can't imagine what our factory would be like when it was brilliant."

"Well…"

  Qi Lei's eyes also appeared in a trance.

   It seems that he has returned to the situation when he first stepped into this industry.

   After Xu Xin started playing the first audition clip, he said:

   "Let's just say... it can be called calling the wind and calling the rain."

   "..."

  Xu Xin didn't speak, but narrowed his eyes as he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.

   After the first audition, he passed Ning Li first.

  Actor's face is actually a very important image composition.

  Ning Li's face is too "rough".

  Not refined, not elegant.

no.

  The second time, he passed Sun Honglei and Duan Yihong.

  The former social elder brother temperament is too prominent, while the latter is too feminine.

   It's not about his looks, but about his performance.

  The well-crafted scene belongs to the weakest character depth among people including Ning Li.

   Of course, definitely not bad.

   Instead, the entry point is different, and the role understanding is different.

  So he was also temporarily passed by Xu Xin.

   Jin Shijie, Wang Jinsong, Wang Zhiwen, Liu Yijun, and Wang Yanhui are left.

  Wang Yanhui is also out.

  The reason is the same as Ning Li.

  He can almost be said to be half of Yang Mi's teacher in Renyi.

  I like drinking tea, acting, and chatting.

  Especially good at expressing the language and context in Yunnan dialect.

  There is nothing wrong with the lines.

  Actors who can support a drama, when the audience cannot sit very close and see their micro-expressions intuitively, the first thing to convey their emotions is the lines.

   And these people all have good lines skills.

   But Wang Yanhui is too "rough".

   Then, Xu Xin began to struggle.

  Liu Yijun's eyes... are so freaking amazing.

  Actors with big eyes can use eye scenes for this...

   It's too rare.

   Not to mention Jin Shijie.

  Although the age does not match, but...seeing his scenes, especially before the start, his frozen expression towards the camera as if staring at you...

   No need to speak, the fear will be pushed up step by step.

  Ginger is really old and spicy.

  Wang Jinsong has a completely different style.

  The situation is stable, there is no cruelty, no femininity, no smiling face, but you can feel the taste of calculation in every line.

  Pairing it with his casual sitting posture... It's so good that Xu Xin didn't shout out his opinion.

  Finally, it was Wang Zhiwen.

  Wang Zhiwen's resume needless to say.

   Maybe it was a preconceived notion. When Xu Xin saw him, he remembered the Lai Ai he saw back then.

  The complex layering of acting skills left a deep impression on him.

  These people...

  He is so tangled.

  After thinking about it, he eliminated Liu Yijun and Wang Yanhui first.

  Although it left a deep impression on him, the problem is... the role of Wang Tianxiang should have a "hidden" side.

  Emotions can be released, but not all of them.

  Liu Yijun's play... To be honest, Xu Xin really thinks that he is on the same level as Liang Chaowei in terms of the use of eyes.

   But in this drama, his performance is not "hidden" enough.

  All emotions can be expressed through eyes.

   But that's not Wang Tianxiang.

  Wang Tianxiang will not express all emotions so clearly...

so…

   When he passed Liu Yijun, he suddenly felt his heart start to bleed.

Then…

   After thinking about it again and again, he also picked Wang Jinsong out.

  This demeanor is too stable, which will weaken the layering of Takeda.

  Takeda and Wang Tianxiang should complement each other.

  Finally, Wang Zhiwen and Jin Shijie were left.

  These two...made Xu Xin smoke three cigarettes.

   Finally decided to PASS Jin Shijie.

   Drama is enough.

   Simply enough.

  Even, Jin Shijie's silent observation will make people feel horrible...It complements this film perfectly.

   But the problem is... the old man's age is the most uncomfortable part for him.

  Xu Xin really couldn't figure it out, when Jin Shijie's "Wang Tianxiang" bowed to Takeda and offered advice...

   If there is a reversal in the end, for example, Wang Tianxiang is the big boss behind the scenes, then it will be absolutely fine.

   But... no.

  The blood in Xu Xin's heart was already running countercurrently. In the end, he endured the pain and passed this senior with excellent acting skills.

Then…

  When I saw that Mr. Wang Zhiwen's lines and acting skills were just right, not too much, not too little...

  The lair in his heart dissipated.

  It was replaced by Wang Tianxiang at this moment...

   "Just... him!"

  After watching the audition clip two or three times again, Xu Xin finally made a decision.

   Then there are endless regrets.

   What a pity...

   These are all actors he likes very much.

   It is really every PASS that makes him feel pain.

  Hearing this, Qi Lei nodded after seeing the smiling Wang Zhiwen on the screen:

   "Okay, then I will contact you?"

   "Well... And remember to say, not because the play is not good, but because the character needs it."

"no problem."

   "Um... hoo..."

  Xu Xin let out a long breath.

   Suddenly there is a sense of solidity.

   And according to Qi Lei's assurance, it means that there will be no difficulty in casting any of the roles for this play... Next, the ingredients are ready, how to fry this dish...

   It depends on yourself, right?

  …

  Wang Zhiwen agreed quickly, and at noon on the 5th, Qi Lei brought good news to Xu Xin.

   All the actors in "The Wind" are available.

  Then it's time to negotiate the salary.

The budget of the whole film, because the set and Liang Bingning saved a large part of the cost, plus the action of Xiying Studio itself is big enough, the appeal of Xu Xin, the general manager of the Olympic Games, and the popularity of the film are all right, so No one is a lion with a big mouth...

   Of course, these are secondary reasons.

  The main reason is that everyone knows how stingy the "big six factories" are.

  Filming with them is not some kind of funder who has a hot head and throws the money on the table. Everyone, hello and I will share it together.

  They really don't get much money.

  In fact, this is also a considerable part of the main reason for the decline of the six major factories.

  For the same drama, you guys pay one million, and others give ten million.

  Who do you choose?

   But the timing of the play card is very good. It is clear that the shooting time should start in late December or early January.

  At this juncture, some actors have actually finished their work for a whole year and are entering a state of recuperation. The filming, commercials, business cooperation, etc. that should be filmed are almost over, and the work at this time is not heavy.

  The second is that the filming of this scene is effortless, there are no special effects to fly over the walls, and there are no vigorous explosion scenes.

  90% of the scenes are concentrated in a few scenes in the studio.

   There is no frequent transition, and the journey is tiring, saving time and effort.

  The third is the conditions...Although there are also exterior scenes, most of the time is spent in the studio inside Xiying Studio.

  The heating and air-conditioning inside are not bad at all, and all kinds of logistics treatment are also in accordance with the reception specifications.

   To put it bluntly, there is no need to suffer.

  So, even if the film salary is a little lower, whether it is due to the timing of next year, or the popularity of the crew itself, what the actors can gain is much stronger than what the unilateral film salary can bring.

  A job that is not heavy, in exchange for some long-term benefits that can be transformed invisibly over time, although they are not visible now.

   Everyone knows how to make trade-offs.

  Those who don’t understand can’t get into today’s position.

  So, the budget of the whole film, under the strong family of Xiying Studio, which completed the construction of the studio with only a labor fee, the overall calculation is about 4000 to 45000000 yuan.

   This also includes the 1.5 million copyright purchase fee for "The Wind".

  To tell you the truth, Xu Xin's price sounds as far-fetched as blowing bubble gum.

  Stars, big names, first-line, actor...

  A movie with all the elements, 45 million...

   It's really the same price as cabbage.

  Because "The Wind" is in a company jointly registered by Xu Xin and the people from Xiying Studio, the film, as the leading party, gave Xu Xin a 40% investment share from Xiying Studio.

   At first glance, it seems that the two sides are a bit unfair, but in fact, after careful consideration of how much effort the entire Xiying Studio has put into this matter, it becomes clear.

   Giving this investment share is really treating Xu Xin as one of his own.

  Since this is the case, Xu Xin is not hypocritical, and directly changed his salary to "1 yuan".

   Qi Lei laughed out loud.

   This is a joke, and I will definitely have trouble making it through the normal tax return.

  So the whole film is still based on the director's investment and box office share.

   Next, Xu Xin basically couldn't see anyone.

  As the assistant director, Li Haiping took over all the corresponding things of the crew.

   This is the job of the assistant director.

  Xu Xin's life is very simple... Even Yang Mi's life is also very simple.

  Every day is two things.

  I want movies, you want characters.

   Liu Yifei's "bitter tricks" or Liang Bingning's ambition.

  All the wind is blocked outside the gate of the courtyard.

  Do not have any relationship with the young couple.

  The tedious preparatory work is over, and the next step is to set foot on the battlefield.

  If you don't even wipe the gun...

  Then going up is purely looking for death.

  Yang Mi doesn't want to be anyone's background board, and so does Xu Xin.

  …

  December 21st.

  Hengdian.

International Trade Building.

  A commercial vehicle arrived at the entrance of the building.

  The car door was opened, and Xu Xin and Yang Mi, who was wearing a peaked cap, got out of the car.

  At the door, Li Haiping, who came here three days earlier than Xu Xin, walked over.

   "Director Li."

  Xu Xin said hello.

  Li Haiping smiled and nodded:

   "Director Xu."

  Li Haiping is a veteran, if it is normal, Xu Xin would have to call Teacher Li.

   But he is the director, and his authority in the crew is unquestionable, so there is no seniority. After the two shook hands, the three of them, including Yang Mi, walked into the hotel on their own.

   Several people behind helped unload the luggage.

   "The venue of the Town God's Temple has been rented, and the work permit has been completed. Including the ballroom, the military aircraft department, and Li Ningyu's home, they have all been arranged according to the set scene."

  Xu Xin nodded:

   "Where are the actors? Are they all here?"

"Liang Bingning arrived at 3:00 p.m., Zhang Hanyu and Wang Zhiwen were a little later, and the flight was booked for 6:00 p.m. Huang Xiaoming arrived, but he won't be back until late at night. There are still a few make-up shots for "Dark Fragrance". Others It's all here."

"Okay, let's wait for everyone to be here today. If you come late, you won't eat the meal, so as to save whoever thinks whoever is arrogant, or whoever waits for someone feels uncomfortable. If you don't do this, just tell everyone , When everyone is ready in the evening, we can have a meet-and-greet meeting. Let’s have a meet-and-greet dinner at noon with the crew, and in the afternoon, everyone will go to the venue to have a look.”

"Jingle Bell…"

  Yang Mi's phone rang.

  Xu Xin didn't care, and continued to communicate with Li Haiping about the preparations for the location.

   For the play "The Sound of the Wind", he intends to use a sequential shooting method.

  Because there are not many exterior scenes here, in fact, there are only a few of them.

  The scene of the Town God's Temple, the scene of Li Ningyu and Gu Xiaomeng dancing together in the ballroom, the scene of the car going to Qiu Shenghuai's house, the exterior scene of the celebration when the traitor "Ye Jianbo" was assassinated, and the scene of the outside environment of Li Ningyu's house.

that is all.

The rest of the selections, such as the seaside banquet, the snowy night trap waiting for the underground workers to throw themselves into the net, including the last section of the car driving on the winding mountain road from the barrenness at the beginning, to the emergence of green, to the blooming flowers representing a bright future, They are all done in Dalian.

  The scene has also been selected.

  After the scene here ended, Xu Xin took Huang Xiaoming, Shi Chaoqi's Commander Zhang, and Zhang Hanyu to Dalian to shoot a scene of falling snow.

  The ferry does not need to go there, but to Lushun. There are boats in the port of Lushun, and the scene of Zhang Hanyu assassinating Huang Xiaoming will be filmed.

  There are only so many shots, and it is estimated that the shooting will be completed within ten days.

   After all the exterior scenes are filmed, Xu Xin will shoot according to the timeline as the core set scene throughout.

  Ensure that the actors can immerse themselves in the story to the greatest extent, and there will be no twists and turns due to jumping back and forth.

  So, the scene in Hengdian is very simple.

  As the assistant director, Li Haiping, after communicating with Xu Xin about the shooting plan, will start to arrange and make corresponding arrangements.

   It really saved Xu Xin a lot of things.

  From this point of view, the crew of "Secret" is simply amateurish.

   While chatting, suddenly, Xu Xin heard a sentence:

   "Huh?...Come here now?"

  Yang Mi's voice was full of surprise, so he couldn't help turning his head to look over...

what's the situation?

  But Yang Mi listened to the movement on the phone for a while, and suddenly said:

   "Is it inconvenient for you to speak? Just answer me yes or no."

   "...Okay, I see. Are you at the airport now?"

   "Well, the two of us have arrived... so, let's send a message to chat, okay?"

   "OK, then I'll hang up, and I'll ask someone to open you again... one room or two rooms. If you say yes, you will get one room, and if you say yes twice, you will get two rooms."

   "...Okay, I see. Then I'll hang up, you tell me everything about the situation, we're good and somewhat prepared."

   "Well, hang up."

  The voice fell, and before Xu Xin could speak, Yang Mi turned her head and said to Sun Ting who rushed over pushing the box:

   "We are opening two rooms... two suites. Instead of going to the crew, use our own card."

"OK."

  Sun Ting nodded, handed over the luggage to Zhang Jiao, and went to the front desk.

  At this time, Xu Xin heard a whisper from his girlfriend:

   "Liu Yifei... is at the airport with Aunt Liu, walking this way."

   "..."

  Xu Xin frowned.

  Liu Yifei's play is in Xi'an.

  The scene where the traitor Ye Jianbo was assassinated at the ceremony was filmed here, and it was only an exterior scene.

   The interior is in the studio.

  So, she is not used in this scene.

   There is no need for her to come over to promote or anything, because when the crew starts up, the actors will join... From Yang Mi, to her, Huang Xiaoming and others will be released one after another.

  She only has two scenes.

   One scene is the assassination of Ye Jianbo in the interior scene and he was arrested.

   An opening interrogation scene.

  In the end, it will end with the title of a friendly cameo who will not lose the coffee position.

  What is she here for?

   Still bringing her mother?

  As soon as this doubt arose in his heart, he thought of a possibility, and his face turned cold:

   "Have we been tricked?"

   "..."

  Hearing this, Yang Mi's eyes also started to flicker rapidly.

   What the boyfriend said is very simple.

   Logically speaking, Liu Yifei would not be able to receive the resources of this drama... I can't say that.

that is…

  She was able to get this role, on the one hand, out of the friendship of a friend, Yang Mi gave the script in advance, so that she would not have to figure out the detours of Gu Xiaomeng.

  The second is that her performance is indeed qualified.

  The "crazy energy" of picking flesh with nails is shown from Zhao Linger, which is "shocking" enough in itself.

  However, when the whole circle rejects her, she should not get this role out of reason.

   After the audition ended, Yang Mi heard about this situation.

   On the one hand, amazed by the determination revealed by her sudden transformation, but on the other hand...

  Well, others may not believe you when you say it.

   But she thinks brother is awesome.

  Under pressure, Liu Yifei was chosen.

  My brother is handsome, soft-hearted, and kind...

   This is what she thought at the time.

Because she understands why Qi Lei would hesitate. To put it bluntly, she is evaluating whether a Liu Yifei is worth it. The attitude of being kind.

  Otherwise... Let alone playing a small role.

  If she wants to play a small role, Liu Yifei also has to go to Hong Kong to act.

   It's not a big deal. But if this makes Hua Yi feel unhappy, personally speaking, the matter is a bit serious.

  Xiying Studio is not afraid of troubles, but some things have to pay attention to the pros and cons of right and wrong.

  If it wasn't for her brother's insistence, she would be really choked up.

  After all, due to emotion and reason, the opportunity to audition was given, and Liu Yifei had to recognize this friendship.

  Even if not selected.

   So lo and behold... everything in this circle is not so absolute.

  Behind the seemingly simple causal relationship, in fact, what is entangled is the balance formed by countless messes from interests to favors.

   Pull one hair, then the whole body will be moved.

   Even if it’s just a small role.

  Even if she is Liu Yifei.

  In the whole incident, the people Liu Yifei should thank most should be his brother and himself.

  Even if we are friends, but between friends, the friendship shown in times of crisis is more precious, isn't it?

   But now?

  He came uninvited and brought his mother with him.

  After this matter was done, after hearing what her boyfriend said, even Yang Mi herself was thinking...

   Was it really tricked?

  Liu Yifei played a bitter trick. In fact, she just hoped that Xiying Studio would help her break the situation?

   Let everyone see:

   "Xiying Studio dare to use me."

  As long as this is the first thing to do, then the next step is to lower your posture, and it is not impossible to even reconcile with Huayi. Or dormant for a period of time, and then save the country with a curve. After the example of Xiying Film Factory, no matter whether some companies are trying to be cheap or popular, there will always be people who can't help but eat this crab.

   And the more people eat, the crab will become more valuable again.

not to mention…

  Even Liang Bingning can come to Xiying Studio, why can’t I, Liu Yifei, return to Huayi?

   Big deal, promise some price.

  Don't forget, she also has a godfather.

  And if this is the case, then... my brother and I have really been tricked.

  From the very beginning, he fell into the opponent's trick.

  The reason why they were tricked was not that the young couple couldn't think of this.

   But the two of them didn't think about it at all.

  Because from the very beginning of eating that meal, whether it is the plan after the establishment of the company in the future, or the pros and cons of all parties, there is only one starting point for all calculations and calculations between the two of them.

   That is "Liu Yifei, we are friends".

  Everything the two of them thought was based on continuing this starting point.

  Even if it is plotting, I hope that Liu Yifei can really get rid of these two black and white impermanences. After Yang Mi establishes the company, she will invest in it and let everyone develop together...

  This kind of long-term planning is also based on "you are my friend" and "I think you are worthy of me".

   But now?

  The mother-daughter relationship that should have been "severed" seems to be rebuilt?

   Want to come to Hengdian together?

  Without your show, why did you come to Hengdian?

   Simple.

   Let's talk to my brother.

   And the content of the chat...

  In addition to Liang Bingning's way, what else can there be?

  Looking at it this way...

  Thinking of this...

  In an instant, Yang Mi's eyes also turned cold.

  I regard you as a friend, and I don’t talk about helping people in need, but at least I stretched out my hand.

  Are you really treating me as a fool?

  At this time...

   "Om."

  A message was sent.

   Coincidentally, the elevator doors also opened.

   A group of people entered the elevator together.

  No one spoke, and even under Xu Xin's frowning, the atmosphere was a bit cold.

  But Yang Mi took the mobile phone and handed it to Xu Xin.

   On the phone screen, he saw a line of words:

   "Board the plane, Mimi! Xu Xin! I'm sorry! Believe me! Reject her!"

   "..."

   Continue to ask for a monthly pass! Brothers, in fact, I am not not adding more, but I really want to use my own interpretation of these things and use a reasonable explanation to complete the meaning given to each character. It's not about conspiracy and conspiracy, but I want to bring you a new perspective of interpretation. Therefore, designing this kind of plot, analyzing it, and writing the 14,000 words is really the limit of human beings.

  Thanks to the two lords for their support. I owe four changes this month, and I will definitely repay them on the basis of quality and quantity! It's great to live up to everyone's support.

  I want to write more realistically, different characters have different personalities, the turbulent waves of various forces, and the mutual wrestling of interests. Really useless...

   Please also believe me, I have not deviated from the theme of this book, and I will definitely bring you a good story!

  (end of this chapter)
