I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 268 266. Bearing the name of Lao Tzu...

   "What do you think about Jiaojiao's affairs?"

   "I lay down and watch."

"Snapped!"

   "Ouch!"

  Xu Xin clutched his hot ass, with an angry expression on his face:

   "You are serious! Hiss...I'm so stupid..."

  At that moment, he felt as if he was being drawn by a steel rod.

  Fiery.

  What is this energy?

  Yang Mi shook her wrist and sneered:

   "Lie down for me, obediently, don't move. Otherwise... Do you know what is Baji plus drape, are gods afraid?!"

   "..."

   The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched, and he pointed to his own brain:

   "Sister, I drank too much, and the world is spinning right now, can we go to sleep after chatting?"

   "What do you think?"

   As Yang Mi spoke, she had already taken off her headband.

  During this time, the two lived like monks or nuns.

   One is clearer than the other.

  The reason is that the script or the character is always in my mind, and I have no time to think about other things.

   Now that the scene is over, after getting out of the character's state by slapping the face with "three slaps", the girl's heart is also very restless after drinking.

   When the book is in use, you will hate it less.

  I'm starting to work harder, you tell me you can't do it?

no!

  I have to see if it works!

  As for Xu Xin, although the alcohol has almost completely numb the brain at the moment, but looking at the girl with loose hair in front of him, her sense of hindsight also came online a little bit:

   "No bath?"

   "I'll wash it myself when you fall asleep later. I haven't maintained it yet~"

   "This... okay."

   "Well, turn off the lights."

  Hearing this, Xu Xin turned off the light casually.

  When the room fell into darkness, Yang Mi's voice sounded again:

   "Then let Jiaojiao follow you?"

   "Then what do you do, no one will be your costume assistant..."

   "Look for it again."

   While speaking, Xu Xin, who had just entered the bed, hugged his body that also exuded the fragrance of Moutai.

"She has taken good care of you recently, so I feel relieved. When the contract ends next year, we have to recruit a lot of people. You see, assistants need to be trained, a brokerage team needs to be found, and what packaging team and public relations team are there? These, let alone fifty or sixty people inside and out. These people need to be led by experienced people. There are many people, and problems are easy to occur, so you must be able to find trustworthy people in every place. You can’t just look at ability, but also look at human nature. ...This child's humanity is not bad..."

   "It sounds like an old man again."

  Xu Xin scratched his head a little.

  Yang Mi smiled, her tone full of complacency:

   "Brother ~ sister want to..."

   "No, you don't want to."

   "Oh, you're annoying... Forget it, forget it, I won't talk to you about this anymore. Elder Tang~"

"Um?"

"Um…"

  …

   "What!???? You just quit your job!?"

  In another standard room, Zhao Liying suddenly screamed:

   "Are you crazy!?"

   "..."

   This time, Zhang Jiao did not refute.

   Just drank half a glass of warm water in one go.

   If you want to get rid of drunk quickly, the best way is to accelerate the metabolism of alcohol. So drink plenty of water, go to the toilet more, and you will wake up quickly.

   It's her third glass of water now.

  When she left just now, Zhao Liying was not there, but went to chat with Jing Tian.

  The friendship between the two seems to Zhang Jiao to be a little mysterious.

  She and Jing Tian can't get along...

  I always feel that the other party's words are too choking.

  But Baozi really likes this straightforward way.

   After all, in some respects, the way the two of them speak is somewhat similar.

  After the filming of this film, Jing Tian went to Yanjing, and Baozi was going back to Hengdian, to see if he could find a small role at the end of the year, earn some money and go home happily for the New Year.

  So when they were parting, the two naturally had something to talk about.

   Now that Baozi came back, when I told her about it... Looking at her appearance in the frying pan, Zhang Jiao felt quite normal.

  So she nodded according to her words:

   "Yeah, I'm crazy..."

  But Zhao Liying didn't care about her answer, but asked anxiously:

   "What did Sister Mi say!? Agreed?!...Can it be redeemed? Why did you resign?! ​​Why didn't you tell me about your resignation?!"

   "...Didn't you go to find Jing Tian?"

"Well…"

  Zhao Liying listened to this answer, and after about two or three seconds, she suddenly said:

   "Jiaojiao, are you jealous?"

   "..."

  Zhang Jiao was a little speechless:

   "I'm so jealous."

   "Oh, don't worry, I will always treat you well!"

   Just like a lesbian, Zhao Liying instantly held Zhang Jiao's hand.

   "Pull it down quickly."

   Zhang Jiao pulled her hand away angrily, and continued:

   "Sister Mi didn't agree... Instead, she asked me to be Brother Xu's assistant."

   "..."

   This time it was Zhao Liying's turn to be speechless.

"Why?"

   "...?"

   Zhang Jiao looked at her blankly.

   Didn't you look anxious just now? Why do you ask why?

   "Uh...I'm not saying you should resign. I mean, why doesn't Miss Mi agree...eh? It doesn't seem right. Just... oops, I don't know!"

   "You..."

   Zhang Jiao had no choice but to tell what happened in Yang Mi's room just now.

   As Zhao Liying listened, her mouth became an "O" shape:

   "Are you a blessing in disguise!"

   "...sort of."

   Zhang Jiao responded:

"Besides, Sister Mi is really kind. She is the best person I have ever met...to me. When I went to her room, her first reaction was to ask me if I encountered any difficulties. And I said I resigned ...Actually, what I did was particularly inappropriate, right?"

   "Hmm. It's kind of like crossing the river and tearing down the bridge..."

  Zhao Liying gave a pertinent evaluation.

"But Sister Mi was not angry, but asked me how I planned it...Didn't Brother Xu agree to my resignation, but Sister Mi still stopped...Actually, I also know that only when this circle is popular can I be like me. Like Sister Mi or Liang Bingning. Sister Mi also said this...and she also knew about my age, and she took care of me and said that she would find me some small roles...in fact, she was afraid that I would not be able to make it out, and many things would be wasted by then. I understand all this, but... I still decided to do this. Then Sister Mi arranged me for Brother Xu."

   "It doesn't matter if you are betrothed... Ouch..."

  Before he finished speaking, someone twisted his thigh.

  Zhao Liying covered her legs and began to "wail".

   "I'm not in good shape, let me tell you that I'm serious!...Come with me, okay?"

   "...?"

  Zhao Liying was taken aback for a moment, instead of playing around, she said in surprise:

"What?"

   "I said, you come with me. Let's go back to school to study... Let's take the Beijing Film Academy exam together. Baozi..."

   Zhang Jiao looked at her seriously:

   "You have also seen the acting skills of Sister Mimi and Liang Bingning, right?"

"Um."

   "Director Xu said that this industry must either have talent, or work hard in the right direction..."

   "But Liang Bingning is not from a regular academic background."

"Well…"

   Zhang Jiao was a little taken aback by what her friend said...

   It seems... yes.

   And Zhao Liying went on to say:

   "Besides, Jiaojiao, you know my family's situation. If my family's conditions were good, I wouldn't come out to be a group performer. So I can understand what you mean, but..."

   There was also a sober light in her eyes:

"I still firmly believe in that sentence, there is no absolute in everything. Liang Bingning can come out...I believe I can come out too. Learning is certain, but our situations are different. Each has its own advantages and difficulties. You Let me choose, I will still look for plays by myself, accept plays by myself, and then practice my own acting skills in front of the mirror a little bit... It’s not that I’m blindly confident, it’s just that I have to do this, so that I can have a better performance between reality and my dreams. strike a balance between them.”

   "..."

  If we say, what is the most rewarding thing Zhang Jiao has gained from working as an assistant for Sister Mimi in the past few months?

   Then you have learned to "let go".

   Not everyone has to live according to the wishes of others.

   It has nothing to do with whether the advice is good or bad.

  Even if it is for the good of others.

  So, after hearing such words, she thought for a while and said:

   "Then I will buy teaching materials for you! Then... I am buying a DV, and I will record all the teacher's lectures for you to watch!"

   "Hey hey hey~ Jiaojiao is better~"

  Zhao Liying immediately smiled...but immediately realized:

   "Don't you still have to apply for the exam?"

   "Director Xu said that I don't need to worry about this, and he will let me listen first..."

   "Director Xu is too kind to you..."

   "Don't talk nonsense!"

  Zhang Jiao quickly warned her:

   "You let sister Mi hear your words, it's me and you who are unlucky, don't you understand!"

"Well…"

  Zhao Liying smiled mischievously:

   "I don't mean that."

   "I know, but the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention, understand? Don't do this in the future, there will be problems!"

"Um…"

  Zhao Liying responded, and then lay down on her own bed.

  Her body proportions are average, so naturally there is no "slender curve" to speak of.

  Just after stretching a lot and letting out a moan that is easy to make people think, he suddenly asked:

   "You said that Sister Mi wants to start her own company, right?"

"Um."

   "Then... if you debut, do you also plan to go to sister Mi?"

"Um!"

  Zhang Jiao nodded firmly, but immediately there was a trace of anxiety on her face:

   "Just... I don't know if Sister Mi will want me..."

   "But to be honest, even if Director Xu is very good, Sister Mi is also very good, but running this kind of agency company has nothing to do with the level of the director or the level of acting."

  As Huayi's contracted actor, even if Zhao Liying doesn't know much about the company, the occasional tip of the iceberg in this behemoth is enough for her to "shock with fear".

   "That's right."

  Zhang Jiao nodded:

"But... I firmly believe that Sister Mi must be a very good boss! You don't have much contact with her in private, so you don't know. Sister Mi is definitely not simple... You can see the career path she planned for herself. I'm not afraid Let me tell you, her manager, that Sister Zeng, has no sense of existence, understand? Uncle Xu is teaching her every step of the way for Sister Mi..."

   "Just... Director Xu's father? The one who drives the Rolls Royce?"

"Yes. Sister Mi is really powerful, and she is really good to people, and she is super capable... Baozi, do you know what investment is? Although I don't think I am qualified to say such things. But... I think that when Sister Mi becomes famous, and when the merits and deeds are rewarded and the seniority is ranked, the group of people who give charcoal in the snow must get the most. So...at least at this stage, my thoughts will not change. I want to follow her, follow Director Xu I have a very strong intuition... Miss Mi will definitely succeed, because I can't find a reason why she will fail! Have you ever seen a girl in her 23s and 40s who can develop her career like this on her own?!"

"Well…"

   Now, even Zhao Liying frowned.

   She really rarely heard such comments from Jiaojiao.

  It's above the sky.

   And think about it...

  Jiaojiao seems to be right.

  Director Xu's father and Uncle Xu both drive a Rolls-Royce.

   How rich are you?

   Director Xu is Uncle Xu's son... Isn't Uncle Xu's money the same as Director Xu's money?

  If Director Xu is rich...then there is still a reason for his failure?

   Is that the truth?

  Thinking of this, she suddenly asked:

   "Did Sister Mi say what are the requirements for finding an artist after starting her own company?"

"Um?"

  Zhang Jiao was stunned...

"You're thinking…"

   "My contract will end at the end of August this year." (Note 1)

"Well…"

  Zhang Jiao's eyes lit up:

   "You want to come here!?"

"…Um."

  Zhao Liying nodded:

"Originally, those of us who came out of "Yahoo Search Star" were not very popular...Yahoo is about to withdraw from the Tianchao market. When the two sides cooperated at the beginning, all kinds of promotions, advertising endorsements, etc. did not materialize. …do you know what our nickname in the company is called?"

"What?"

   "Hengdian 360."

   "..."

"A lot of people don't act anymore, Ai Lijiang went back to school, Fu Siqi also left, and she opened a Taobao store. I gave her the idea to become a model herself... and she is now a model We have to pay the company to take pictures... Sometimes when we chat, she will say to me happily: Baozi, fortunately, Huayi didn't think highly of us, and only gave us a three-year contract. If it was five years, she really didn't know that she What should I do in the future...Isn't it the same here, self-reliant, live as long as I can...So, you say whether I want to go...Ask Miss Mi to see if she will accept me...Anyway, I don't eat any resources. I have a joke Just act, if there is no play, I will go back and continue to be Hengdian 360. What do you think?"

"OK!"

  The moment she heard Zhao Liying's words, Zhang Jiao nodded without thinking about it:

   "Absolutely no problem! Let me tell you, now is really a good opportunity. I really think sister Mi will not be easy in the future! Now is the best time! But..."

  Suddenly, she paused and asked:

   "If you don't renew the contract...will Hua Yi think you are ignorant and suppress you?"

"If you suppress me, I will be a group performer. Anyway, I don't have the resources~ Don't mention anything else, I have acted in so many plays anyway, and I want the same price as a group performer, sixty, eighty, someone will use me Right? Jiaojiao, your brain is better than mine...Since you trust Sister Mi so much, then I will follow you! I have to be the child's godmother in the future! Hehehe..."

  As if thinking of a better life in the future, a smile appeared in her round eyes.

"In the future, we will all live in a big villa! Then we will buy a car worth one or two million yuan! We need to carry LV and use La Mer! We need to buy a lot of Chanel perfume at home! ... Then I will go to Miss Mi tomorrow and say, OK?"

"Um!"

   With a "click", the lights in the room were turned off:

   "Then go to bed early, sister Mi wakes up very early and needs to practice. You can't be late! I'll go with you tomorrow!"

  Zhao Liying did not respond.

  It was just a rustling sound in the room...

   "Ah! What are you doing..."

   "Hey hey hey, you're so delicate, you almost miss me~ beauty~ squeeze, move over there..."

   There was an idiotic laughter in the room.

   "I'm really... oops! Where are you going..."

  Everything returned to silence.

  …

   "Hua Yi signed a three-year contract with you?"

  On the road inside the West Film Studio, Yang Mi was a little surprised in wearing gloves, a thin sports down jacket, and a cotton cap.

  The panting Zhao Liying who was running away nodded:

   "Hoo...Yes...Hoo...Hoo..."

  She just followed Sister Mi for half a lap, and she, who claims to be "able to run and jump", couldn't bear this pace.

   Monster?

   Then we can run…

  Yang Mi was speechless upon seeing this:

   "You adjust your breathing first, I'm running two laps. Let's talk later."

   "No...no need...I...sister...follow...follow..."

   "...then stop talking and run with me."

   "..."

  Zhao Liying didn't speak, but continued to follow Yang Mi in front.

   Then run farther and farther, pull farther and farther...

  By the time she finished running the Xiying Studio, Yang Mi was already doing stretching exercises there.

  Looking at the wheezing girl in front of her, she also nodded secretly in her heart.

  In the final analysis, everyone is the fate of "Golden Armor" together.

  And now these three laps of Xiying Factory... are not some 400-meter runway.

  The entire Xiying Film Factory’s factory area is quite large.

   Being able to grit your teeth and run with yourself shows that you have good perseverance.

   Then he said:

   "Come on, stretch with me."

   "Hoo... Hoo... Hoo..."

  Zhao Liying panted, and began to reproduce Yang Mi's movements.

  …

   "If this movement is done properly, it will make the calf thinner. Otherwise, the calf is too strong and it won't look good in clothes."

   "This is to relax the Achilles tendon. The Achilles tendon looks slender, and the shape of the foot is good-looking. Wearing high heels is more eye-catching."

   "Yes, hold on against the wall. It's normal for the legs to shake, which means that the strength of the lower body is not enough. Hold on, this is to exercise the core..."

  …

  After a set of stretching exercises, Zhao Liying was already sweating profusely in the winter.

  But Yang Mi is only sweating on her forehead.

  Then, she hooked Zhao Liying and motioned to follow her, before continuing to ask:

   "Why did Hua Yi give you a three-year contract instead of five?"

"Our batch of "Yahoo Search Star" came out with a three-year contract. It seems that there is some kind of cooperation between the two sides, that is, three-year training, and then Yahoo will give resources to favor in the next two years, such as advertisements, spokespersons, etc. I'm not very clear about the specifics. Anyway, I signed it... But Yahoo was about to go bankrupt in the past two years, so we especially started in 2008, and we didn't have any roles assigned by the company for a whole year."

   "What resources were given in 2006?"

   "Model without makeup in Olay ad."

   "What about the others?"

"Ai Lijiang became the spokesperson of Yahoo, and He Zhuoyan got the role of "Shuanger" in "The Deer and Ding Tale". Last year when "The Deer and Ding Tale" became popular, she was quite popular. So Hua Yi continued with her. I made an appointment. But... I, Fu Siqi, and Ai Lijiang didn't get the contract..."

   "The manager doesn't care about you anymore?"

"…Um."

   "Is that so..."

  Yang Mi thought for a while and said:

"Baozi, I know about your relationship with Jiaojiao, so I will not hide some things from you. It is true that I want to set up my own company after I come out, but you can think about it... I may be popular now, but the market There are not many works on the Internet. Even after I come out alone, the resources in front of me may not be able to eat by myself. If this is the case... you still want to follow me?"

"willing!"

  Zhao Liying nodded without any hesitation.

   "The reason? Because of Jiaojiao?"

"Um!"

  Zhao Liying nodded again:

   "Jiaojiao said... Sister Mi is a good boss, and she thinks that you and Director Xu are super amazing! She also said... Uh..."

  Suddenly, she paused.

  It’s dangerous, it’s dangerous, it’s so dangerous, it’s so bald and talkative, and the words of "rewarding for merit" are spoken.

  But seeing her hesitant to speak, Yang Mi more or less guessed something.

really.

  As an assistant, Jiaojiao sees and sees more things in private than other people.

   But she didn't ask.

   Just thinking.

  In her career planning, in fact, there is only one Liu Yifei in terms of "people".

   Under normal circumstances, the most ideal artist goal should be to find a male artist.

  After all, everyone understands why the three monks have no water to drink.

  However, even if Liu Yifei can be won, one of the problems she faces now is...Liu Yifei will definitely not play a small role or do anything.

   And she herself will not play small roles.

  That doesn't match your own value proposition.

   In this way, there is one less role in the company to accept sinking resources.

  Thinking of this, she said:

   "Then have you thought it through yourself? Even if you come to my side, it doesn't mean that you can get a leading role or something directly... We have come here step by step, you should understand this truth."

"I know!"

  Zhao Liying nodded quickly:

   "But...at least better than Hengdian 360?"

   "What is Hengdian 360?"

  Yang Mi was a little curious.

"My nickname...or the nickname of our group of people. After we signed a contract with Huayi, except for some necessary training, we were sent to Hengdian. Either group performances, or small roles and so on...so Those in the company who have a five-year contract gave us a nickname called Hengdian 360. It means that we stay there 360 ​​days a year, 365 days..."

   "..."

  Yang Mi frowned.

  This nickname is a bit "insulting".

  In the future, my company must strictly prohibit any colleagues from calling each other nicknames... even benign ones are not allowed.

   is too easy to be a label.

  Silently remembering this matter in her heart, she looked at the girl in front of her who was still smiling very plainly, and suddenly put her hand on her cheek.

   "You can laugh out of this kind of nickname... It's very honorable."

"Well…"

  Zhao Liying froze for a moment.

   Does it hurt?

   It doesn't hurt.

  It's just... This sudden intimacy made her a little uncomfortable.

  But Yang Mi rubbed her fingers...

   Ouch, this feels good~

  In an instant, she was in a good mood.

   Then nodded:

   "OK, when will the contract end?"

   "August."

"Okay. After August is over, come here directly. From now on, we will be a family. I won't talk to you about unnecessary words, and it's useless to talk empty words. After you come over, I won't promise you anything. Just step on Steady study of our acting skills, even if we have no talent, even if we walk slowly. But step by step, step by step, I dare not say that I will make you into a role, but at least we can be a recognized actor Good actor. That's the only guarantee I can give you, okay?"

   "Well, good! Thank you, Miss Mi!"

  I felt the sincerity in Yang Mi's words, especially the words of "a good actor recognized by others", which hit the heart of this girl who has been working hard in Hengdian all year round.

   Let her agree without the slightest hesitation.

   Even, an excitement came out of nowhere!

  At this time, a hand patted her shoulder:

   "Have you watched "One Piece"?"

"…ah?"

   Zhao Liying, who just showed a smile, was taken aback for a moment.

   Then shook his head:

   "No... haven't seen it."

   "I see..."

  For some reason, Yang Mi suddenly showed a wicked look on her face, and pinched her cheek again.

  No way, it feels so good.

   Knead, let go.

  In Zhao Liying's eyes, Miss Mi suddenly showed her beautiful and neat teeth:

   "Baozi, you will be the captain of the first team from now on! Bear the name of Lao Tzu on your back and gallop on this vast ocean!"

   "...???"

  Zhao Liying didn't understand the meaning of these words.

   But looking at Sister Mi's hearty sunshine, she even revealed a heroic smile for some reason, she nodded vigorously unconsciously, and agreed with the voice in her heart:

"Um!"

(Note 1: In fact, the normal artist contract is a 5-year start, initial investment, and later profit model. The three-year contract setting here is actually a bit wrong, so there is a supplement to the plot of "Yahoo and Huayi". The novel is based on life and higher than life. And the reason why the two sisters were described in such a large space before is also the point. Not only Zhang Tianai, Zhao Liying's mental journey is also advanced in this way, which makes it reasonable. Otherwise That kind of plot where you accept your head and worship...I don't know what everyone thinks, but it feels very awkward to me. Moreover, these two people are actually quite important supporting roles, not water...and from here...well, Yang The Beard Pirates are starting to prepare for their departure.)
