I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 75: 073. Skirmish

Chapter 75 073. Small conflict

Did Shang Jing understand?

Naturally understood.

He didn't even think about cheating others.

He is a soldier.

is a national first-level director.

also has a heart to pursue art.

Why go to cheat others?

So, he nodded:

"Old Zhang, I understand what you mean...it's like this, Xiao Xu."

I always feel that the dreaming middle-aged man asked seriously:

"This is more than ten million..."

"I have enough money, really enough, Director Shang."

Xu Xin nodded, the sunshine of his smile made people feel good about him...that nouveau riche temperament suddenly flashed by:

"If you don't believe it, we can check it now. Then when you need it, I will transfer the money to you, okay?"

"…I didn't mean that."

Shang Jing was a little speechless, and quickly shook his head:

"I mean, it runs the risk of losing money."

"I know... To tell you the truth, I don't really care if I lose money or not. But when I come across a good story and can't see it on TV, I feel itchy. What's more... you just think that I am accumulating from you Experience. Compared with you and Director Zhang, I am a student who doesn’t understand anything. In the future, I will definitely have to face soliciting investment, or something... This will be my internship, okay? "

No, can you stop being so humble?

Shang Jing was speechless.

Acting like... I'm a bad person.

can be true.

This money...

He really wanted to.

Because the two investors I met today have clearly rejected his script...

And right now, there is really no way out, and there is another village.

But this young man's attitude gave him the illusion that "I feel guilty when I take your money"...

At this moment, Zhang Wu's phone rang suddenly.

Looking down...

"It's a conspiracy."

Zhang Wu waved his hand to signal the two to stop talking, and connected the phone directly:

"Hey, Yimou...not yet...who?...This...well, then I'll go over now...well, that's it."

Hung up the phone, Zhang Wu shook his head:

"Yimou asked me to go to dinner, and Gong Lifei said to call someone from our creative team... In this way, the two of you can chat slowly. When I go, I will tell them that Xiao Xu, you will not participate, okay?"

"Yeah, thank you Director Zhang."

"It's okay...Old Shang, let's talk. The investment is confirmed, and then you can go back and prepare here. After all, Xiao Xu is young, and he may need to find someone with experience to help him. I'll do it, let's behave properly, okay?"

Understanding the subtext of the old classmate again, Shang Jing nodded:

"No problem...then we're going to my room."

"Okay, let's go together..."

…

Ninth floor.

Xu Xin is looking at an investment plan handed over by Shang Jing.

The above mainly lists the estimates of various expenses.

And when Xu Xin saw one, he asked:

"Bai Zhantang—Sha Yi, the salary is 2,000 yuan per episode...Here, director Shang and Zhu Wushuang are also important supporting roles?"

He saw the fourth episode of the story he watched yesterday, and the main characters in it were "Bai Zhantang, Shopkeeper Tong, Mo Xiaobei, Li Dazui, Guo Furong, Lu Qinghou, Xing Tutou".

I haven't seen any scenes of Zhu Wushuang.

But she is starring here, but she doesn't have the name of the leading role like everyone else, but is blank.

Shang Jing nodded:

"She appeared in the middle stage, Bai Zhantang's junior sister."

"Supporting role?"

"right."

"oh oh."

Xu Xin nodded.

He just asked casually.

Ke Shangjing suddenly had a flash of inspiration...

Today I came back with Xiao Xu... Oh no, Xu Xin came back together, there seems to be a beautiful girl too, right?

Could it be...

In other words, the thinking of adults is not as pure as that of children.

Xu Xinzhen asked casually, but Shang Jing had an association because of this sentence.

And, recalling that girl's appearance, temperament...

The role of Zhu Wushuang is actually more like a propellant, which is not too important in Shang Jing's view.

The girl is fine too.

After all, it's pretty.

Does the investor mean...

After thinking about it, Shang Jing didn't say anything.

Not yet.

…

"Director Shang, when Director Zhang comes back, ask how to invest. Do you have an electronic version here? Send me a copy, so I can take a look?"

Hearing this, Shang Jing said directly:

"Then you can just keep this. I'll print it later...then I..."

Hearing this tone, Xu Xin understood in seconds, and said directly:

"Well, let me transfer two hundred to you first? Three hundred? I think it will cost a lot of money to rent the venue and the set building. How about you go to the preparations first? Let me ask what the investment is all about, and then Including sharing and the like...Let's let professional people come up with a plan and discuss it with each other, okay?"

"…OK!"

Feeling the other party's great trust in taking money for money, Shang Jing nodded directly.

"In this way, you don't need to transfer money, first get out this investment plan. I also have money here, so I'll put it first, how about it? I'll go back here tomorrow to set a schedule with some actors, okay?"

"good!"

He is refreshing, and Xu Xin is also refreshing.

directly agreed.

So, everyone is happy.

But the two of them didn't talk about the ratio, but Zhang Wu was standing there, and it was impossible for the two of them to open their mouths.

So, the final result was that Shang Jing, who had cured his heart disease, let out a long sigh of relief.

Xu Xin returned to the room with the script.

He intends to hurry up and understand this story.

Think of it as fishing time outside of work.

…

"..."

In the conference room, there was silence.

There is also a camera in the corner.

This is what the leaders requested. They asked to record the influence of everyone in the study of the opening ceremony. They thought it would be possible to make an Olympic documentary or something.

No one cares.

Wei Lanfang came to manipulate.

And fourteen people just sat in the conference room, frowning and thinking hard.

This is actually the norm in meetings.

At the beginning, everyone discusses first, and then refute or agree with the point of view.

Finally quiet, each thinking about their own.

Frown.

Xu Xin was also thinking.

Because he was thinking about what to do with Wuhuan.

While thinking about it, suddenly, Zhang Wu's voice sounded:

"Yimou, or not."

He stands up:

"Your idea of looking for drums is wrong."

made a grasping movement, and he said under the gaze of everyone:

"Look, you have to reflect the spirit of an actor, right? How do you play the drums? That's it... Crack!"

He made a swinging motion:

"When the drumstick falls, this is the drumhead. This movement is chic and neat. But if you have to look for the drum, and everyone is looking left and right, that person will look very messy."

"How could it be messed up?"

Zhang Yimou shook his head:

"We have designed each link, 1, 2, 3, 4, what beat, where to play... The audience thinks that we are playing drums, and then one by one... beat one piece, light it up, and finally form a five-ring..."

Zhang Yimou opposed Zhang Wu's view.

Stick to your idea.

This is what he suddenly thought of while eating.

Then he hurriedly ended the dinner party and called everyone to come to the meeting.

The idea is that a group of people will bring materials to the stage, and let the audience not see the five rings, but various drums with strange shapes.

Then everyone started to tap, and after a tap, the spliced parts lit up together.

After finishing the final beating, the five rings are all lit up instantly...

Everyone frowned and continued to think.

Including Zhang Wu who refuted.

But now Xu Xin has followed Zhang Yimou's idea and sketched a rough outline on the paper.

"Director Zhang, is this what you mean?"

He erected the notebook in his hand. On the notebook were five rings that resembled a bird's nest structure. Inside each stood four silhouettes of people. It could be seen that they were holding drumsticks and standing beside the rings. As if ready to strike at any moment.

Zhang Yimou took a look and nodded immediately:

"Yes, yes, this is it."

He got up and walked in front of Xu Xin, picked up Xu Xin's notebook, and said to everyone:

"Look... It's not about fixing four people, there can be many people, for example, people can also form a circle, and then it's like a relay. Boom, boom, boom! Everyone knocks on an area, but it must not be lit at the same time. Just in the dark , and then these things flashed, blah blah blah…”

Dancing and holding a picture to describe to everyone, lifelike.

"Because they don't light up at the same time, everyone can't see that it's a five rings. Finally, follow the music and beat: Boom! All five rings light up at once... Everyone realized that this is the five rings... How about it?"

Then, seeing Ma Wen and the others squinting their eyes, he simply handed Xu Xin's notebook to the others for everyone to read it.

When it landed on Shen Danqing, he looked at it, closed the notebook, got up and walked to the blackboard, and with a few strokes, he outlined an outline similar to Xu Xin:

"This kind of design concept is actually disastrous. You see, it's just such a thing. Although the implication of the bird's nest itself is good, if this design concept is to be expressed on the spot... Look, it's just such a structure. Knock inside... think about it, is it messy?"

He drew more clearly than Xu Xin.

And also specially marked a few black dots to simulate the "drum" Zhang Yimou said.

After everyone figured things out, they fell into deep thought again.

If nothing else...

This plan may be rejected again.

is actually quite normal.

It's only been a few days, and the creative team's plan... basically will be overthrown if it exceeds three days.

Some thought it was very good at the time, maybe Zhang Yimou vetoed it after he slept.

To be honest, this creative mode is quite high-pressure.

Creating this thing should be done in a very relaxed environment, with the least external pressure.

But who made it the Olympics...

…

"I'm done, you should rest early, I have to do some things here."

Yang Mi didn't reply.

Probably fell asleep.

Xu Xin glanced at the time, it was almost 12:30.

But fortunately, the big guys basically don’t have to move tomorrow, just wait for Zhang Yimou’s notification.

Xu Xin took a shower, leaned on the bed and turned on the lamp, and picked up the script of "Wulin Biography".

And then...he had a dream.

In the dream, a big wave dressed in tulle was waving at him.

…

7:30 in the morning.

Xu Xin, who had finished his breakfast for almost an hour, came to the gym.

There is an extra basketball in his hand.

He asked clearly under the gymnasium, which is the warehouse for storing tables, chairs, benches and linen.

Then you won’t be afraid of disturbing the people.

Being disturbed by Chunmeng early in the morning, Xu Xin felt a little uncomfortable.

If it weren't for the lack of jumping, he really wanted to perform a 360-degree mid-air spin...and hang himself and the ball on the basket.

no way.

Just hold back.

Holding back his strength, he slammed the racket loudly.

Hey! Fadeback jumper!

唰~

"Um???"

Don't talk about the basket, Xu Xin was stunned.

It feels so good?

He picked up the ball and imitated Tracy McGrady.

DUANG~

"..."

The familiar sound of hammering iron sounded again.

This is normal.

Pick up the ball again, make three threats and bow to Buddha, change hands under the crotch, turn around...

Kobe Bryant, fadeaway jumper!

Growing core strength paired with those powerful calves kicking back!

Stretched posture, soft touch...

"Shua!"

"...?????"

Xu Xin's eyes straightened instantly.

Is this going to kick me out of the blacksmith union?

He didn't believe in evil, and made another free throw.

Still not close.

Then…

Fadeaway jumper!

"Shua!"

After scoring three goals in a row, Xu Xin was really stunned.

He was a little surprised to feel the softness of his fingertips.

Am I possessed by Kobe?

Gradually fell in love with the silky and smooth feel, he started playing tricks in the arena like no one else was.

What he has always believed in playing basketball is that as long as his posture is handsome, it doesn't matter whether he can score or not.

But today the feeling is also strange.

McGrady is so chic and can't make a single pull-up, but the fadeaway jumper is like a shot, no matter how he shoots.

Even Golden Rooster independence let him use it.

After deliberately adjusting the collocation, after the one-on-one imitation, it is even better than Jordan's throw-back jumper...

Don’t say it, it’s really picturesque.

And right now it's outside the half court...

"唰~"

Jay Chou suddenly felt his hands itch when he saw the young man in the court throwing a perfect arc again, maintaining that... looks like imitating Jordan's hand movements after making a shot.

coach.

I also want to play basketball.

However, the body sculptor, agent, and two assistants around him did not allow it.

Just stuffed two barbells into his hands.

When he came back to his senses, he nodded and heard the sculptor say:

"A group of five, follow my rhythm... mainly to feel here, to keep the muscles in a slightly sour feeling... come..."

After pointing to his chest muscles, Jay Chou gathered his thoughts and started to do exercises according to the requirements of the shaper with two barbells.

He only has one hour.

After an hour, it's time for a fitting.

He has more than a dozen outfits to try on in this drama, ranging from princely suits to armor.

In order to make his body more powerful and meet the director's requirements, he has been silently gaining muscle for several months.

And today's additional training is also for fitting.

As of last night, he has cut off carbohydrates for more than 72 hours.

And at the dinner party last night, he only ate white rice.

The reason for this is also very simple.

Punch carbon.

Shooting poster.

Fitness people know why many athletes look flat and small before the competition, but they suddenly become "bigger" on the field.

The reason is here.

As for the scientific principle, it is nothing more than that after the body's carbohydrates are depleted, the body will store more carbohydrates in response to make the muscles fuller all at once.

In order to reflect his might and make the poster more tense, he, who is not a professional bodybuilder, has to do this once, to make his muscles as big as possible, so that the photos will look good.

The whole process of flushing carbon is actually very painful.

But who asked him to cooperate with the great director Zhang Yimou.

In order to listen to the company's words and hit the film and television market, he had to come here.

only…

While doing stretches that make his muscular lines appear more natural, his head occasionally glances to the side...

Looking at the sometimes perfect, sometimes stiff arc, and the young man playing basketball, there is an urge to "get together" in his eyes.

…

One hour, around 8:30.

Xu Xin, who was completely comfortable playing today, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked up at Jay Chou's team outside who were also about to leave.

He saw each other just now.

But... I'm not familiar with it, and I can't rush forward.

But look at the opponent's posture, the battle can be big enough.

Jiang is surrounded by seven or eight people.

Pretty scary.

He wiped his sweat with a T-shirt, and when he walked out of the gym with a basketball under his arms, he happened to see the other party entering the elevator.

The straight-line distance between the elevator and the gymnasium is about ten to fifteen meters.

After those people got into the elevator, Jay Chou saw that Xu Xin had also come out, and seemed to want to say something.

But the person next to him has already pressed the close button.

He opened his mouth, but finally remained silent, and looked away.

"Tsk."

Xu Xin smashed his mouth.

This is the first real "meeting" between him and Jay Chou.

Mediocre.

And the reunion came sooner than Xu Xin imagined.

At around 9 o'clock, just as Xu Xin was watching "Wulin Biography" in his room, there was a knock on the door.

"Idiot fan" Wei Lanfang's eyes are full of excitement:

"Xiao Xu! Let's go! Come on, go see Jay Chou's fitting!"

"..."

Xu Xin thought he was just joining in the fun at first, so he said:

"Miss Wei, we still have a meeting today!"

"It's just a meeting! Brother Lian Fa and Sister Gong Li will be there today! And Liu Ye will be there too. All the actors have to finish their trials today! Director Zhang said, let's have a meeting over there, and I can give some advice on the costume fitting. Hurry up Yes, let's go..."

"..."

Fine.

Xu Xin could see it.

Sister Wei really likes Jay Chou, not the fake one.

So nodded:

"What floor?"

"Small conference hall on the third floor."

"Okay...then I will change my clothes."

He took a shower after playing ball, and he was still wearing pajamas at the moment.

"Uh-huh!"

Wei Lanfang nodded and left, while Xu Xin went downstairs directly after changing into a suit of clothes.

When I came to the third floor, I saw a sign as soon as I got out of the elevator:

"The crew of "The Golden Armor in the City" tried out costumes."

Behind the sign is a corridor.

Standing at the door were four security personnel, as well as Zhang Yimou's assistant surnamed Lin.

This is not the Olympic Building or the Qinglan Building, and Xu Xin has to carry his work permit every day.

Just when he was about to talk to the security guard, Assistant Lin greeted Xu Xin:

"Teacher Xu."

"..."

Hearing this title, Xu Xin quickly waved his hands:

"Don't, don't, don't, this title is unworthy."

"Haha, you're welcome... please come in, Director Zhang and the others are already here, so just go straight to the room at the end."

"OK, thanks."

With Assistant Lin, the security personnel will naturally not stop him.

Xu Xin didn't think too much about it, and walked directly inside.

While walking, she also planned to show off to Yang Mi who was already on the show:

"Hey, I'm going to meet Jay Chou."

Just finished posting, and walked to the end of the corridor.

But not directly into the house, here is a small "L" bend.

The end of the L bend is the room that smells of smoke.

And there are still a few people standing at the door.

Xu Xin vaguely felt that these people looked familiar, but before he realized it, these buddies walked towards Xu Xin.

He didn't think much of it at first.

But when a buddy put his hand on his shoulder, he realized something was wrong.

"?"

Pushing the hand away, Xu Xin asked in bewilderment:

"what?"

"Sir, please leave irrelevant personnel."

Irrelevant...?

Listening to this accent is obviously not from the mainland...

To be honest, Xu Xin was really taken aback.

It took a beat in my mind to react.

Oh, are you talking about myself?

He rolled his eyes angrily:

"Excuse me, I'm a relevant person, how did I get in if I wasn't a relevant person?"

After finishing speaking, I will go inside.

Then the man put his hand on Xu Xin's shoulder again.

"Snapped."

Slap and exhale.

Xu Xin frowned.

To let go of his previous temper, he may already be annoyed.

But now after he slapped the opponent's arm away, he still said:

"I am a member of the Olympic opening and closing ceremonies team, do you understand?"

Who knew that after these people heard this, they suddenly surrounded Xu Xin.

"Sir, please leave. This is the fitting site for golden armors all over the city. Unrelated personnel are not allowed to enter."

Xu Xin raised his eyebrows.

Just as she was about to say something, a fat girl with glasses came out:

"How many shrimps did you catch? (What's going on

She frowned, looking at Xu Xin who was surrounded by several people and asked.

And hearing this movement, several people also turned their heads and said a few words to her.

But Xu Xin didn't understand.

Then the girl took a step forward and said in very blunt Mandarin:

"Xiansen, here we are "Curse of Golden Armor"..."

"I'm saying once, get out of the way, I'm on the Olympic opening and closing ceremonies team."

Xu Xin's patience bottomed out.

Furious, he directly pushed the person blocking him, and was about to walk into the house.

"Hey you can't go..."

Several people wanted to stop him when they saw him pushing someone. At this time, Wei Lanfang also came out from behind the girl wearing glasses:

"Xiao Xu?... What are you doing?"

As soon as she appeared, several people stopped moving immediately, and the fat girl wearing glasses turned around and saw that it was Wei Lanfang, and hurriedly said:

"Wei Laosi, we have never met this gentleman..."

Before she finished speaking, Xu Xin had already passed her and walked to the door.

Turned to look at her, then at those people, and said:

"Sister Wei, it's okay, let's go."

"Uh... Xiansen..."

The girl wanted to say something, but Xu Xin ignored her and walked inside.

Entering the room, I saw that in addition to the team members, there were also some crew members of "Golden Armor", including the action director/assistant director Cheng Xiaodong, and a group of people were chatting around the conference table.

There was not much movement at the door just now, so the people inside didn't know about these things.

Only Wei Lanfang and the fat girl who were at the door heard it.

Xu Xin didn't say anything, and walked to the conference table with Wei Lanfang who seemed to understand what happened. After sitting down next to each other, Wei Lanfang asked:

"There is no conflict?"

Her voice was quite low.

Xu Xin shook his head:

"No, the fire is suppressed, so it won't happen."

At the end, I also asked:

"These people don't sound like mainlanders, are they from Fa Ge's side or Jay Chou's side?"

"Jay Chou's side."

"...The signature is probably missing."

"It's okay, they dare not."

Wei Lanfang shook his head:

"The subordinates are the subordinates, they cannot be affected, don't worry."

Then came a very righteous sentence:
