I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

   Chapter 351 349. Times have changed

  The chat with Wang Jinghua is over.

   It took less than an hour in total.

   But politely seeing her off, after returning, Xu Xin didn't go into the bedroom, but sat on the sofa and meditated.

   After Sun Ting washed the tea set, she came to say hello to Xu Xin:

   "Brother Xu, then I'll go back and rest."

"Um…"

  Xu Xin responded, but just as Sun Ting was about to leave, she suddenly asked:

"how are you feeling?"

  Sun Ting was taken aback:

"I?"

   "Yes. Tell me what you think."

"Well…"

  Sun Ting thought for a while and said:

   "I've actually... heard of her."

   While speaking, she sat down.

"It's not that I've heard of it, or... just hearsay. Before I became an assistant to Miss Mi, there was a girl named Chen Yi who was a member of our group of trainees in Rongxin Dali. She once worked as a third for Su Jin help."

   "The heroine of "Never Close My Eyes"?"

"right."

  Sun Ting responded and watched Xu Xin pick up the cigarette. After she grabbed the lighter to help light it, she said:

"Su Jin is an artist under her banner. Then... how to put it, Chen Yi gave us the feeling that she didn't need training at all. As for what the training teacher said about the various situations faced by artists, how should assistants deal with them. And the daily needs of assistants Noticing everything...she understands it all, and sometimes we think she understands it better than the teacher."

   "Then why did she come to Rong Xinda?"

   "Because she was fired by Wang Jinghua's company."

  Under Xu Xin's unexpected gaze, Sun Ting said with some emotion:

   "The reason for the dismissal is because Su Jin felt that she didn't have a tacit understanding with her..."

"Well…"

"Brother Xu. The work processes of many of our agents and assistants in the mainland are actually created by her...According to Chen Yi, Wang Jinghua can take care of all the artists in every possible way. It makes everyone feel like they can't adapt to anything without her." ...That kind of ability. And Chen Yi also said at the time that she was not capable enough to meet the requirements. But looking at Chen Yi's ability... I can only say that her standards are really high.

  Just...according to my thinking, the artists under her banner can’t live without her. It's strange...but it's true that Chen Yi is the best professional in our group. After less than a month of training, she was assigned to Chen Kun. Later, I don't know who was poached... Anyway, it is excellent. "

  What Sun Ting said from the perspective of an assistant actually made Xu Xin feel more at ease.

  What kind of person Wang Jinghua is, what kind of interest entanglement, all aspects are not things she should consider.

   But this speech in his own job hit Xu Xin's wishes.

  He didn't worry about his sister suffering or what, but worried that she was not well taken care of in life.

  Even if this is unlikely to happen.

   But at the very least, with Sun Ting's words, Xu Xin feels at ease.

  Business cannot be benevolent and righteous.

  Wang Jinghua's business ability and ambitions aside, it doesn't even matter what happens in the Beijing circle or business cooperation.

   is a secondary thing.

  The important thing is that if she and his wife reach a cooperation, then Yang Mi will be "comfortable".

   That's enough for him.

  Then nodded slightly:

"I see."

   After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked at Sun Ting again:

"Even if Wang Jinghua really cooperates with your sister, you don't have to worry about your own plans. She is her and you are you. You can't be an assistant for a lifetime. The company's business training is more important to you in the long run. It's suitable. Your sister and I know it clearly, so you can rest assured."

"Uh-huh!"

  Sun Ting smiled and nodded:

"I understand."

  …

   Sun Ting left.

   After Xu Xin took a shower, even though he would wake up at 5 o'clock tomorrow, he was not in a hurry to sleep.

   Instead, he took a notebook and swiped the news of the "Golden Rooster Award" in the hotel's network with some cards.

   The best actress nomination for "The Wind" is itself a double protagonist.

   It is the same reason that "Golden Horse Award" is also nominated for two protagonists.

  Three crowns for Best Actress, the number of people is three, but in terms of film, although it is still a double yolk egg, it is the best "harvest" for West Film Studio.

  But the major websites have not seen much discussion about the unexpectedness of the "Golden Rooster Award".

  Prove that everyone can accept this result.

  Of course...controversy is inevitable.

   That is "Li Mi's Conjecture".

   But how to say this thing... Zhou Xun can call out the phrase "crimes other than war" openly, and no one will compete with her.

   But no matter what, Cao Baoping's matter is there.

  You can’t be sarcastic.

  Your non-sarcasm mapping…

right?

   Allowing him to continue his activities is already giving face.

  As for the elder sister mentioned in some news, who is the youngest actress in history...

   Xu Xin, who was no longer the first-timer who called the company directly and asked them to open a long message because of "Not Drunk" and Youku netizens tore up the B, just smiled lightly.

  In "The Wind", no matter who looks at it, the acting skills contributed by Yang Mi are definitely not weaker than Liang Bingning.

  Even in the last one-shot scene, there is still a tendency to tilt.

  But now Liang Bingning is calm, but a reporter from Yang Mi's side directly talks about it with the draft...

  If this **** wasn't crooked, Xu Xin wouldn't believe it if he was beaten to death.

   Just let him.

   At 12:05 a.m. on October 29, shut down and go to sleep.

  …

  9:30 am.

   On the plane, Xu Xin and Sun Ting walked out of the airport with their luggage when they got off the plane.

   got into Cheng Hu's car.

  He came all the way to the confinement center. He was eager to return home, carrying the certificate of honor and the trophy. After entering the room, he saw his wife who was eating an apple there, and two babies sleeping soundly in the cradle.

  In an instant, the tenderness belonging to the old father completely melted Xu Xin.

  Placing the trophy and certificate in front of Yang Mi, she kissed her milky cheek rather perfunctorily.

   Turning his head, he looked at his precious daughter and son:

   "Daughter, son, dad is back~"

   "Oh, please keep your voice down."

  Yang Mi was a little dissatisfied.

   "Just ate and slept."

"…hey-hey."

  Hearing this, Xu Xin responded, put his nose on the thin hair of the two little guys, and gently sniffed the scent of day and night thoughts.

   After "sucking" for more than a minute, she sat down beside Yang Mi contentedly:

   "How did you sleep last night?"

   "Not much sleep."

  Yang Mi shook her head:

"After reading the news for a little more, I felt that my acting skills were much worse than Mr. Jiang's. I felt a little lucky for no reason, so I watched another episode of "Lichun". I fell asleep while watching it, but it turned out that it was less than 6 o'clock. The nurse brought the two babies to breastfeed and woke up again... Then I couldn't sleep anymore. I did a little yoga for a while... I just slept for more than an hour, Yang Yang cried, and I woke up again."

   As she spoke, she touched the Golden Rooster Award trophy, showing an unprecedented satisfied smile:

   "With the golden rooster, the next step is the top three in Europe. After winning the top three in Europe, I'm going to get an Oscar. Well, Xiying."

   "..."

  Xu Xin's face turned green instantly.

  You really dare to think.

  I caught up with the arrival.

  However, he didn't tell the truth, but just nodded "with full confidence":

   "Well! It will be done within three years, and then the film will die!"

"…hey-hey."

  The smile on Yang Mi's face blossomed into a flower.

  Either her husband.

   Really tacit understanding.

   No matter how much I brag, I have to support me.

   Then, Xu Xin said:

   "Let me tell you something."

   "Say it."

   "Last night, I met Wang Jinghua."

   "Wang Jinghua?"

  Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, then asked with a frown:

   "Conflict?"

   "No. On the contrary, you wanted to chat with me last night. The main reason why I didn't chat with you was that we were talking about things in the room."

   "Uh...then why didn't you tell me?"

   "I'm afraid you'll end up with insomnia if you think about it too much... Who would have thought that you were almost insomnia last night."

   While talking, Xu Xin glanced at her hairline.

Um…

   I have to mention, it seems...probably...about...seems a bit dangerous.

   "...What are you talking about?"

  Hearing this, Xu Xin briefly recounted what Wang Jinghua meant and the general conversation between the two of them.

  Especially in the section of "Mengniu", Yang Mi frowned when she heard it.

   And wait for all to listen to...

   "Tsk..."

   There was a bit of emotion on her face:

   "Is this the reason for the income gap? ... Learned."

   "Do you agree with her way?"

   "Yes."

   The couple naturally had nothing to hide.

"The two of us are not omniscient, and, as far as Wang Jinghua is concerned, this is where she is really good. She knows how to operate. On the one hand, she can make money for artists, and on the other hand, she can make money for all Her work and life are taken care of in an orderly manner. If she doesn't achieve the ultimate in these two aspects, how can it be possible that no matter whether she leaves Huayi or Orange Sky, her artists will follow her wholeheartedly."

  Understanding what his wife meant, Xu Xin nodded:

   "So you're very interested in her?"

"Um."

  Yang Mi responded, put her hand on the back of his hand, and rubbed it gently with her nails.

   After about seven or eight slips, Xu Xin felt disgusted and moved his hand away.

  She started scratching the sheets again.

   It looks like a cat grinding its nails.

   It took about a minute.

"The limit of Sister Zeng's ability lies here. Besides, she has never been able to make decisions about my affairs. And I asked her to follow Liu Yifei during this time, that's what I mean... But I never thought that she would come to me , but plan to look for other brokers."

   "Now that we have the best one, we naturally don't need to consider other people. But there is one thing...that is, at least make sure that she and you are on the same journey."

   "It's nothing."

  Yang Mi shook her head:

"Is it someone from the same way? You have to get along with her to know. If she can let me inflate the business value... that must be something I wish for. It has nothing to do with money, it's a matter of status. By the way, she asked you to find me directly? Didn't say anything your business?"

   "I said, she originally wanted to sign us. But I said let her find you, my business...you make the decision."

"understood."

  When he said this, Yang Mi understood in seconds.

   "Alright. After all, your ears are too soft..."

   "..."

  Xu Xin rolled his eyes.

   "My whole body is soft, only one place is hard, why?"

   "... Mouth?"

  The little young woman asked knowingly.

   winking like silk.

  It's a pity... After all, it is hopeful to quench thirst.

   Have to wait for a while.

   "But I'm worried that she will pull me into the Beijing circle and start to be hypocritical..."

   "That will not."

  Hearing this, Xu Xin shook his head directly:

   "In our place, there is no such thing as Beijing circle or Beijing circle. You are you and I am me. She must understand this truth."

"Well…"

  Yang Mi thought for a while and said:

   "Then talk to her. But there is no rush now, just calm down for a few days, and I will think about it."

   "Well, but you have to be careful. By the way, I will go to Director Zhang in the afternoon and ask his opinion."

  After Xu Xin finished speaking, she saw her showing a mouthful of small white teeth.

   "Don't worry, my three hundred Gongdou novels are not for nothing."

   "..."

  Xu Xin, who had once been told by her that "you can live in the harem at most three days", rolled her eyes.

  …

   "Here you come? Sit down...Momo, bring the Pu'er tea they brought yesterday."

  In the study, after Zhang Yimou yelled, he said to Xu Xin:

   "I haven't drunk the ancient tree tea they brought back from Jingmai Mountain."

"Uh-huh."

  Xu Xin responded, and went straight to the point:

   "Ask you something?"

   "Why didn't you win Best Director?"

   "..."

  Xu Xin was speechless.

   "In your eyes, am I the kind of award-winning fan?"

   "I thought you were going to ask this... come on, what's wrong?"

   Sitting in that grand master's chair, Zhang Yimou looked relaxed.

  It’s good to understand.

  If there are nominations, then we must work hard to win the award.

  Because winning an award is also an affirmation of a director's artistic level.

  But after the result comes out, whether it is regret or unwillingness, just find a way to get it back next time.

  Although you can’t talk about whether you are proud of winning or not discouraged in defeat, at least don’t win awards just for the sake of winning, that would be putting the cart before the horse.

  Xu Xin asked tentatively:

   "I heard...you rejected Langjiu's 100 million endorsement contract?"

   "..."

  Zhang Yimou was taken aback.

   There was surprise in his eyes:

   "Who told it? How do you know?"

   "...So, is it true?"

"Um."

  Zhang Yimou did not hide anything, but after recalling it for a while, he said:

   "It probably happened in September or October last year, right? The Olympic Games just ended. It was a success, when the popularity was at its peak. They offered me a price of 100 million... I can't accept it."

  Waving his hands, he explained to Xu Xin in a particularly sober tone:

"That's the honor of the country. You use the heights that the country and the people have promoted you to for your own benefit. It's not appropriate for public or private purposes. For private... If you are good at this billion, you will definitely be stabbed in the back. It is said that you are using the popularity of the Olympic Games to hype and make money...Let’s not mention how others speculate, but for me, I think any thing that uses national sentiment for profit is not good.”

   "Then Yu Gong..."

   "It's a bit like corruption, and it's hard to end well."

   "..."

  Xu Xin was stunned for a moment...with a look of emotion on his face, he said:

   "Either you have a high level of ideological awareness."

  Hearing this, Zhang Yimou smiled and asked:

   "What if it were you?"

   While talking, Zhang Mo walked in.

   There is still a tea gift box in his hand.

   Seeing this, Zhang Yimou said again:

   "Give him that cloud they took too."

"good."

   Zhang Mo responded, put the tea on the table and went out.

   Zhang Yimou opened the gift box and said:

   "A few friends went to Yunnan to play, and they got them back."

"Uh-huh."

  Xu Xin nodded and said:

   "If you want me, I might not take it... But I'm not as deep as you think, I just think that maybe I'm not worth the 100 million."

   "I thought you'd say you didn't care about money."

"Two different things... If it was yesterday, I might have said this. But it's a bit against my will... It doesn't matter if you have tens of millions. If you say you don't care if you have hundreds of millions, then you are stupid. But now... In jargon, my business value is still up to 100 million yuan. If it doesn’t reach this point, there must be a demon if things go wrong.”

   This time, Zhang Yimou was really surprised.

  Looked at Xu Xin up and down, and asked curiously:

   "What's wrong? Where did you get this news? Who did you meet?"

   "I met you, Wang Jinghua. It is from her that I know about you."

"Well…"

  The surprise in Zhang Yimou's eyes became clear:

   "Her. No wonder... Few people know about this news. Except for Xiaowei and me, only the people from Langjiu are left. It's normal for her to know..."

"what do you mean?"

  Hearing Xu Xin's tentative intent, Zhang Yimou smiled:

"She is also very good. In the field of managers...she is one of the best. Although she has relatively few contacts, many friends are artists under her banner. In terms of maintaining the relationship between managers and artists, she has done a very good job. Excellent. It's a pity...it's just that she woke up a little late. Otherwise, she should be a company boss who is not weaker than Huayi now."

   "You mean...the thing about her taking artists away from Huayi?"

"Um."

  Zhang Yimou nodded:

"She woke up late, and missed the best time. Moreover, it was too late when she realized that she would never be able to become the king alone. She made two wrong moves... If it wasn't for the artists under her banner to support her , maybe she disappeared too."

"Well…"

  Zhang Yimou's words sounded a lot of information to Xu Xin's ears.

   It wasn't until Zhang Mo brought over two colorful Yunyan gift boxes that he gradually figured out what the old man meant.

   Probably means that the company left twice, not without cost.

   But this is normal... The reality of this circle is sometimes simply chilling.

   Running away from Huayi and Chengtian consecutively, it is impossible for her not to take out something. It's just that outsiders don't know it.

   Really thought entertainment companies were all philanthropy?

only…

   "Then do you think the Beijing circle is guarding against her now? Or are there still people who want to make friends with her?"

   "Neither side...at least I think so."

  Zhang Yimou shook his head:

"It's difficult to distinguish between friends and foes, being wary of enemies, and having scruples... I think it should be like this. She walked too decisively, making it hard to believe that she can become her loyal partner. But there are too many powerful people under her banner , the most important thing is to be united... Whoever wants to hollow out her can't do it. She wants to offend her but dare not offend Tai Shi, so she should be in the circle now but is isolated by the circle. In isolation, she has to Working with her... that's about it."

   As he spoke, he asked curiously:

   "What? Did she set her mind on you?"

   "Not only me, but also Yang Mi."

  After repeating things again.

   Zhang Yimou, who was bored and finished washing the tea bowl, was also lost in thought.

  At this time, Zhang Mo saw that his father was silent, took the gaiwan from him, and started to help Xu Xin and his father make tea.

  I won’t mention how about the tea.

   It is impossible to rely on the tea that can be given to Director Zhang.

   Xu Xin also took apart one of the two Yunyan gift boxes.

  Take out a pack of big nine from inside.

  He heard people say that there is a kind of smoke called 9+1 in Da Chong Jiu. It is said that what is the "1" in this 9+1... the best cigarette to smoke.

   I don’t know if it’s true or not.

   Anyway, he never smoked.

   This is what Wang Sicong said.

   I was planning to study whether there is 9+1 in this smoke, when I heard Zhang Yimou say:

   "If Yang Mi wants to go this way wholeheartedly, it's okay to cooperate with her."

  Xu Xin quickly collected his thoughts.

   "You also agree?"

   "Well, although she has a lot to do with the Beijing circle...but now and then. It's true that she is too deeply involved with the Beijing circle, but it's true that everyone loves and hates her now...or just keep a respectful distance.

   And the reason why she came to you is actually very simple. The hard work you have done for the West Film Studio in the past two years, including the current "The Voice" has directly made Shaanxi TV the ratings champion for three months... These things are real to people in the circle A whole new path.

  Now this batch of newly grown actors don't have so many views on sects. Adding the Beijing circle now... it is indeed too bloated. If you want to get ahead, the price you pay is not usually high.

  The old and the new alternate, the old and the new impact... The times have changed. As long as the West Film Studio can get up, as long as the Northwest Circle can recover across the board... The example of Hunan TV is there. For the stagnant circle, the old people will think that the Northwest Circle will stage the return of the king. But for newcomers, this is a...

  How do you say that buzzword?

  Emerging industry chain?

   Probably that is what it means. And who is the spokesperson for the Northwest Circle now? Liang Bingning came out to do it herself. Although Jiang Wenli's family is deeply rooted, its potential is gone.

   Now you and Yang Mi popped up out of nowhere. As for those people in the Beijing circle, some are because of their status, and some are disdainful of you. But she is the one who has the best contact with you and Yang Mi. Because...maybe the current Beijing circle can't tell whether she is one of them or an outsider...so. "

   Speaking of this, Zhang Yimou nodded:

   "I think it's really an opportunity. Don't forget, she also has many Northwest artists..."

   "Why do we have to use regions to divide?"

   "This is the habit of our generation, you don't have to worry about it. But you can't ignore the power of the rural complex in the collective."

   "..."

   "Patter."

  He lit a cigarette.

   Then nodded to Zhang Yimou:

   "If you agree, then I will feel more at ease."

"Um."

  Zhang Yimou agreed:

"Yang Mi is doing it on the left and right. You two just need to balance your family and career. Again, don't care how the world outside is ever-changing, take your art deeply rooted in the soil of the people, and in the future Your talent, even if it is hard, can also be hardened. But..."

   Speaking of this, his tone became earnest:

"You also have to tell Yang Mi that the criterion for determining the value of an actor is not how much money you make, nor how much you spend as an endorsement... At the end of the day, as an actor, you still have to speak for yourself with your work. This business is a waste of time. Gradually becoming charming eyes. She is the youngest actress of the Golden Rooster Award who is a few months younger than Yue Hong...don't get lost."

   Apart from muscle soreness, other feelings are okay. Well, it feels like Dwayne Johnson's figure is beckoning to me. not far away~
