I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

   Chapter 569 567. Wen Dou

   Just when Xu Xin was about to choke to death the heartless man who used gold to give his partner a keychain, Shen Teng also arrived in front of Shuangwei's office building by car.

  Just as I got out of the car, I suddenly heard two beeps.

  Shen Teng turned his head, and Volvo, who was about to turn into the parking lot, braked.

  The back door opened, and Yang Mi walked down directly.

  Shen Teng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile:

"Teacher Yang."

  Hearing this title, Yang Mi also responded with a smile:

   "Brother Teng."

  The two call each other their own.

  You gave Shen Teng ten guts, he didn't dare to call "Mimi" to himself, the God of Wealth, but he couldn't call Miss Mi either, so after thinking about it, he continued the title of "teacher".

   And the brother Teng that Yang Mi called was also directed at Zeng Jia.

  Both of them are trying to blur the relationship between each other's subordinates and various aspects as much as possible, in order to be more "closer".

   "I'm really sorry today, Mr. Yu and Mr. Zhang are both in the Northeast today, and I really can't make it back..."

  He was talking about Yu Kai and Zhang Chen, the two founders of Happy Twist.

   Today's Shen Teng's status is rising. After all, it was Zeng Jia who brought him together, and then Happy Twist got the capital injection. Just for this energy, his status in Happy Twist will not be low.

  In addition to the relationship with Yang Mi, the two of them are not here, so it is the most appropriate for him to come here upon invitation.

   "It's okay... why did you go to the northeast?"

  As the two of them walked into the office building, Yang Mi asked.

   "The HLJ channel is going to make a TV show of the...scene genre. The two of them will see if they can send our actors there to discuss cooperation."

   "Scene skit...TV show?"

  Seeing Yang Mi's puzzled look, Shen Teng nodded:

   "Yes, it seems to be called... funny meeting room."

   "A set broadcast in HLJ?"

"right."

   HLJ station is also a star station, this kind of national TV station, no matter how well-known it is, is a temptation for any actors who want to let the audience remember themselves.

   After being confirmed, Yang Mi said with a smile:

   "That's really a coincidence. I came to you because of things in the northeast."

"…ah?"

  Shen Teng, who was waiting for the elevator, was a little confused.

  But Yang Mi didn't explain much, just said:

   "Let's talk in the company..."

   Just like that, Shen Teng followed her into the office building and got on the elevator.

   "How about "Happy Twist" now?"

  When Yang Mi mentioned this, a touch of excitement flashed in Shen Teng's eyes:

"Great!"

  He nodded vigorously:

   "Under the promotion, the seats are basically full every day. Mr. Zhang, what we discussed is... Next year, next year, if there are no accidents, we will start moving to the city and open a branch theater!"

   "Well, that's pretty good. What about the actors?"

"Actually, the actors haven't moved much. They are still the same people. Didn't they wait for the news from you, Mr. Yang? We think it's most appropriate for the old to bring the new. Both theaters will be opened. At that time, the programs on both sides can be unified, but the roles It is most suitable to be performed by different people.”

   "The strategy of bringing the old with the new is definitely right, but... I think that after you know why I came here today, you have to consider recruiting people."

  Looking at Shen Teng's puzzled eyes, Yang Mi smiled slightly.

  The elevator door opened, and she led Shen Teng to the office amidst greetings of "Hello, Miss Mi".

   When she came to the office, Yang Mi didn't hide it, motioned for Shen Teng to take a seat, and asked directly:

   "Have you considered leaving Yanjing?"

   "...say?"

   Shen Teng asked tentatively.

   "I want to open a small theater of "Happy Twist" in Shenyang, Shanghai, and Nanjing."

   "...???"

  Shen Teng was dumbfounded.

  My first reaction is... Is there money and no place to spend it?

   But the absurdity was immediately replaced by joy.

  If this is the case... wouldn't Happy Twist become a national drama club? This is a good thing!

   After joy... replaced by a touch of doubt.

   "Can you tell me the reason? Teacher Yang."

"The reason is very simple. Shenyin, Liaoba, Nanyi, Shanghai Opera... I plan to have a fixed channel for talent delivery and selection in each of these places. I am not simply sticking to Yanjing, but here Among several key domestic art colleges, select those who have potential and talent for acting."

  After Yang Mi finished speaking, Shen Teng understood what she meant.

  The most basic condition for "Happy Twist" to reach a cooperation with Shuangwei is that they are responsible for receiving Shuangwei's artist sinking training.

   To put it bluntly, sketches are also a kind of drama.

   And this small theater form, the performance method that directly interacts with the audience, is the platform for honing actors' acting skills the most.

   This is also the only advantage of "Happy Twist".

   And they themselves have their own set of methods on how to arrange these actors.

   In the beginning, it was a warm-up sketch and a talk show. This is the primary selection, and excellent seedlings are selected and sent to various roles in the stage play.

  Sent up, acting skills improved, Shuangwei took people away and started promoting.

   And those who become famous through promotion become the appeal and guarantee for selling tickets when it comes to Happy Twist.

   This is a virtuous circle.

   And the creators of Happy Twist usually have many, many... Maybe they can't be combined with some stage plays, but they are very interesting jokes, sketches, etc. if they are taken individually.

  There is no need to worry about performance resources in this area.

   Both sides are mutually beneficial.

   And Yang Mi's meaning is also very simple.

  Compared to the traditional scouting system, she probably wants to get a more comprehensive understanding... For example, when the "Happy Twist" drama club goes to various schools to recruit people, then those who have acting experience will come to act. See who can sign, if not, leave...

  With the platform of "Happy Twist", the actor's acting skills, motivation, talent and other comprehensive factors can be considered more comprehensively.

   Reason, Shen Teng understood.

   But the problem is...

   "Expansion like this...I'm worried about the quality of actors...and operating costs..."

"You don't have to worry about the operating cost, because Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yu are not here this time, so you can bring what I want. I can find a solution for the biggest venue issue. You just need to come up with enough excellent programs and personnel. How about a plan with sufficient exercise opportunities after joining?”

"this…"

  Shen Teng definitely couldn't agree directly.

   Have to discuss with Zhang Chen and Yu Kai.

   But in his heart, his view on this matter is quite optimistic.

  After all, for drama clubs, it can only be opened locally, and it is two concepts to open nationwide.

  If "Happy Twist" can achieve multiple blooms, and all of them can run stably. Leaving aside how much money they make, at least... the embryonic form of the Deyun Society has emerged.

   Just…

   "It costs so much just to get these actors in... Is it appropriate?"

   He asked a little puzzled.

  Yang Mi did not answer this question.

  Because there is no answer.

   What can she say?

   Said: Money is not important?

   Then my image in the eyes of the other party may be linked to being taken advantage of.

  But what my brother said last night is still vivid in my memory, and she really can't continue to fish anymore.

  So, the topic was changed directly:

   "I actually have two favorite places right now, one is Shenyang and the other is Shanghai. What do you think?"

  Although the matter has not been decided yet, it does not prevent Shen Teng from following her way of thinking.

   After thinking for a while, he shook his head slightly:

   "I don't think Shenyang is suitable."

   "Why? Shen Yin and Liao Ballet have a lot of good candidates."

"That's what I said... Of course, Teacher Yang, I'm judging this matter from the perspective of "Happy Twist"... Let's not mention whether we can play Errenzhuan. But as far as I know...the relationship between Director Xu and Teacher Benshan But it's pretty good, right?"

   "..."

  Yang Mi frowned slightly...

   "Mr. Benshan is not such a stingy person."

"Yes, Teacher Benshan is highly respected...but...Mr. Yang, if the master doesn't have an opinion on some things, it doesn't mean that the apprentice has no opinion. Or...you want me to choose, Shenyang must be the last place I consider. There is no problem with the devil, Nanjing No, but there are quite a lot of conflicts between Errenzhuan and Xiaopin..."

  Shen Teng's words are actually very useful to Yang Mi.

  In her perception, Errenzhuan and cross talk are actually somewhat similar, both emphasizing the basic skills of singing, reciting, doing and fighting.

   Not only must it be funny, but also have "unique skills", which is a form of performance that combines folk art and humor.

   But the way it performs is indeed a small category.

   This is what she ignored.

  So after thinking about it, she nodded:

"Okay, let's not think about Shenyang for now. In short, my meaning is very simple. I don't like to bet on who is beautiful or handsome when looking for actors. On the contrary, I value actors who are down-to-earth. Drill, be willing to work hard, it would be even better if you have some talent. So we need our small theater to wash the sand over and over again. At this time, I need your help. Brother Teng, when you go back, ask them what they mean, how about it?"

"no problem."

  Shen Teng readily agreed.

  He understands the principle of each taking what he needs, and he also feels in his heart that such a cooperation model will be more stable.

  No one can live without someone.

fine.

  …

   "Have you seen them all? Xu Zhi, Xu Yang, I'm a kid...Wang Sicong. Brothers, don't be so polite."

  Xu Xin's words determined the **** of the two parties.

  Wang Sicong said hello, took out a cigarette and scattered it outside, and it was almost familiar.

   "Then I'll wait for Wang Ying?"

   "Go ahead. Tell her to behave and not be so nervous."

  Although Wang Ying promised to give her a role, audition is still a necessary procedure.

   Mainly to get a feel for this girl's background.

   The background is good, and there can be more scenes.

   But if the foundation is so-so, then we can only consider how to deal with it.

  So, Wang Sicong didn't follow upstairs at all, just downstairs... I don't know where he was squatting.

   I have to admit that from this point of view, the relationship between the young master and her is actually similar to that of ordinary couples...

  Maybe this is the love he longs for.

  Sweating profusely on this hot day, waiting for that well-dressed girl to appear...

   Tut.

  Sitting in the elevator, Xu Xin thought of this and smashed his mouth.

  The situation of people and people is really wonderful.

  Some people are sitting on the bus, full of longing for the life of the rich.

  And some people drive a Rolls-Royce, but what they miss the most is the taste at the food stand...

  Big difference.

  While using this "contradictory" perspective in my mind to think about the love of the young master with deep affection, the three of them came to the headwind all the way.

  The headwind's office buildings are also expanding.

   It can be seen from the location of this audition directly in the company.

  Nailwind Now the two-storey office buildings have a lot of space.

  As soon as he entered the company, Xu Xin saw a group of people in a small conference room having a meeting through the blinds next to him.

   It was Guo Fan and the others.

  It is not yet two o'clock, and the audition appointment is at two thirty in the afternoon.

  Xu Xin thought for a while, then pushed the door open and walked in.

  Wen Kino, who was standing in front of the curtain against the wall of the conference room and talking endlessly, immediately fell silent.

   "Director Xu."

"Um."

  Xu Xin responded, glanced at the interior view of the bedroom layout on the screen, and asked with a smile:

   "The plan has not been determined yet?"

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

   A group of people looked at each other.

  Although it is not enough to sigh, it is clear that the atmosphere is a bit "weird".

  They have been deadlocked on the interior layout for a long time.

  Xu Xin's requirement for them is that as a team, everyone can express their opinions, and finally choose the most suitable set of layout drawings for each scene and give them to themselves.

   But the difficulty is also here.

  Whether it is school or personal insistence, they are required to maintain artistic independence and subjectivity in their careers.

  Everyone has their own interpretation of "Thirty-Three Days of Broken Relationship".

  The "task" Xu Xin entrusted to them was to arrange the interior scenes.

  The layout of the interior scene is not just as simple as a room. Because according to Xu Xin's style of using close-ups of different environments, props, and backgrounds to express the language of the camera, the layout of the interior scene is destined to be in the progress of the plot, through the scene-by-scene transformation, to achieve the reflection of the protagonist's mentality and the most real psychological hints.

  But regarding the interpretation of the heart of the character "Huang Xiaoxian", the opinions of a group of people can be said to be extremely disagreeable.

  For example, Guo Fan, he has always insisted that "Huang Xiaoxian is a model of a demon girl", "Fortunately, Director Xu changed it like this, otherwise this film will definitely be scolded by male compatriots."

   And his aesthetic is quite straight.

   "Huang Xiaoxian's heart is pale and covered with weeds. Let's just decorate it simply, with white walls, gray bricks, and wooden beds! Anyway, she is just an idiot..."

   Then he was one of the first to be "eliminated" by the team.

   Guo Fan’s individual case is also a common phenomenon in the team.

  In order to continue Director Xu's style and show his own style, everyone has very high requirements for this task.

  This cannot be followed blindly. You can only modify, discuss, and argue constantly, trying to make your plan perfect, not only meeting Xu Xin's requirements, but also showing your own style.

  So at first glance, the task Xu Xin gave them was very simple, but in fact these people have almost scratched their heads in the past half a month.

   To put it bluntly, Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second.

  How to set the scene is destined to have no "best answer".

   But Xu Xin wanted this effect.

   Otherwise, Yu Zhen would not have directly thrown the project of the first-year graduate student to his crew.

  As the saying goes, the master leads the door, and the practice depends on the individual.

  Someone leads you to develop your own ideas, which is quite different from the results of hard work by yourself.

   Seeing that they were silent, Xu Xin's eyes fell on the curtain.

   "Mosquito, is this yours?"

   "Uh... yes."

  Fumino nodded:

   "This is my idea on how to arrange Huang Xiaoxian's bedroom."

   "Let me see..."

  Xu Xin pinched his chin and looked at the layout in the picture.

  The floor plan is actually very simple.

   There are four pictures in total. The layout of the four pictures is the same, but the angles are different.

   First is a single bed on the left side of the picture.

  There are only simple quilts and pillows on the single bed.

   Then there is the table on the right, with a simple laptop on it.

   Then there is the bookshelf on the right. The bookshelf is very empty, with only two or three books lying here and there.

   There is no lighting or other design, just a floor plan.

   But the second picture, which is the picture in the upper right corner of the quadrant, is very interesting.

  Wen Kino’s four pictures look the same at first glance, but they are actually different.

  In the second picture, a bunny ear appeared on the empty bed.

  The rabbit is hidden under the quilt, so it can't be seen clearly.

   And there are more instant noodles, crumpled paper balls, and beverage cans on the table. The bookshelf on the right is still empty.

   Then the third one.

  The rabbit doll in the third picture has shown the whole picture, and it is placed on the pillow in an upright manner.

   And there are a few more books on the table. Books, instant noodles, paper balls, and drink cans are all on the table, but the bookshelf is still empty.

  The picture in the bottom right corner at the end is a rabbit doll casually thrown on the bed, the table becomes very tidy, and the bookshelf is full of books.

   Seeing these four pictures, Xu Xin understood what he meant.

"The first picture is from when Huang Xiaoxian hadn't broken up, right? Or the period when he just broke up and didn't realize the sadness. The second picture is after breaking up and starting to adapt to life without Lu Ran, and the third picture There was an external force intervening, she began to wake up, and finally it was the end, representing a brand new her."

   "Exactly!"

  Wen Muye nodded, and then looked at the senior brother sitting on the chair with a slightly disgusted look:

"Look, this is an easy-to-understand way of expression! Let me tell you, Hitchcock's lens aesthetics is the ultimate mystery of movies! The threshold of art can be there, but it must not be high! Hitchcock's train enters the tunnel Express the feeling of the camera, dare you say that you will not be surprised when you see it for the first time? Make those fancy things every day... We have to let ordinary audiences understand the movie, and my version is the best!"

   "..."

  Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

  Although he agrees with a certain part of the mosquito's point of view, but...he said these words in such a tone, isn't it iron waiting to be sprayed?

   Sure enough, his words, with the backing of Xu Xin, blew up the entire conference room.

   "Okay? Why don't you tell me how you are? What does that rabbit doll express? Huang Xiaoxian's soft heart? You can just add a narration to it."

   "This is crazy for you... Didn't your rabbit doll also see the version I designed before adding it?"

   "Kubrick is number one!"

   "Your styling design is a mess. No matter how you express your mentality, you can't ignore the background. In the language of the lens, the first thing to express is a sense of beauty. What are you?"

   "My nephew's CAD is better than yours! Can your background be used in the camera? What about color science? Was it eaten by a dog!?"

   "..."

  Xu Xin's mouth twitched, watching Wen Muye's tongue-in-cheek battle with the Confucians.

   Unconsciously, he turned his head and glanced at Xu Zhi.

  Xu Zhi, on the other hand, had a familiar look on his face. Obviously, these kinds of scenes are often encountered these days.

   A small quarrel in one day, a big quarrel in two days.

  At first, the company thought they were going to fight...but after a while they got used to it.

   Make a noise...

  The matter of the director... We scholars don't understand.

   But it’s okay for others to be surprised. Bi Gan, Tian Yusheng, and Xin Yukun were all dumbfounded.

   Regardless of their age, these people are all seniors.

   After they came, they were quite restrained.

   And I came to see with a "learning" mentality, to see how powerful these senior brothers and sisters are.

  However, from sitting here after eating, let’s not mention whether it’s great or not. “Great” is really “great”.

   It's almost time to fight.

  Everyone who demonstrates their design will receive a merciless mockery.

   Then he was kicked off the stage when the opponent jumped and cursed, and then changed to another person to continue...

no…

  Director Xu's crew, is the style so wild?

  Where did these living fathers come from?

   Those who understand know that you are discussing art, and those who don't know think you are holding a criticism meeting here.

   Subconsciously, the three of them set their eyes on Xu Xin.

   And Xu Xin didn't expect this to be the case... Although he looked at the two behind him, they all looked familiar, and he quite liked everyone's insistence on their own opinions.

  But at any rate, there are newcomers today, can everyone put some...

   So he quickly waved his hands:

   "Okay, okay, listen to me first."

  As soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent.

   Even Wen Kino sat back.

   "Ahem... Tian Yusheng, Bi Gan, Xin Yukun. Everyone knows each other, right?"

  Pointing to the three newcomers and introducing them, Xu Xin said:

   "Tian Yusheng is one of the screenwriters who created the script "People on the Journey". Xin Yukun also has a lot of work experience at Xi'an Local TV Station. Bi Gan..."

  He paused, nodded:

   "It's also pretty good."

   "..."

  Among Bi Gan's weird eyes, Xu Xin continued:

   "I will also join the crew of "33 Days" this time... Oh yes, Teacher Yu also gave you a project..."

  He took out his mobile phone, quickly found Wen Muye's number and sent it:

"Look at Mosquito, this is a topic left by Mr. Yu. I finished the audition today, and I will go to take wedding photos when I go back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I will come back in October. When the movie starts shooting, we will go back to Yanjing to join the group. This It's the next work arrangement... It's almost time, let's go, let's go to the audition."

   After conveying the topic of "Research on the Director's Behind-the-Scenes Creative Ideas of "Thirty-Three Days of Broken Love", Xu Xin forcibly stopped the street-swearing meeting.

   took the lead and walked out.

   After the three of them walked out together, all eyes were on Wen Muye.

   "What is Teacher Yu's subject?"

  Wen Muye looked away from the phone, listening to Guo Fan's words, his eyes suddenly turned...

   "Haha! Are you dumbfounded? I won't tell you! Just wait to fail!"

   "...?"

  Amidst the confusion of the crowd, he proudly pulled the USB flash drive out of the laptop, and walked out gracefully.

   His face was full of pride.

  Call my work rubbish?

   I can't kill you!
