Chapter 231 229. Werewolf Killing

   "Director Xu...I have to think about it."

   After being silent for a while, Qi Lei said to Xu Xin.

   His tone was not turbulent.

  If you can't get a face that shows neither emotion nor anger at his position, it's tantamount to playing for nothing.

  So, no matter what pros and cons there are, he should say this sentence calmly, then hang up the phone and think about it.

   Coincidentally.

  Xu Xin also said the same:

"Well, Mr. Qi, think about it, I have to call Yang Mi to ask. This matter... the pros and cons are equal to the risk and benefit, so I have to think about it... Well, I will go to get a phone card first, and I have a class in the afternoon. We'll be in touch after we're done."

"good."

  Qi Lei directly agreed:

   "Let's say this first, Director Xu is busy, I'll think about it here, and communicate with the leaders. You are right... this matter is a good thing, and it is also a bad thing. It depends on how to handle it..."

   "Well, then hang up first."

"good."

  The phone hangs up.

  Xu Xin frowned.

  To tell the truth, Liang Bingning came, is your heart moving?

   Definitely.

   But it’s not because I like her so much or why.

   But because...he saw an opportunity.

   First of all, what is the movie "The Wind"?

  Group portrait show.

  Strictly speaking, in fact, the entire script of the movie is a... Werewolf.

  Every player who can enter Qiuzhuang is an image of a "good citizen" on the surface. And the people headed by Takeda and Wang Tianxiang want to find the "ghost" among these good people.

  But there is still a very fatal problem, that is, there is no prophet in the Qiuzhuang werewolf killing in this round.

   Takeda counts... hunter.

  Everyone knows he is a gun daddy with a gun in his hand.

   But the problem is, if he does not "eliminate", the bullets in this gun will not be fired.

  So, everyone will be shot to the head by him.

   But if it's just to scare, then he can't find a werewolf.

  And what is Wang Tianxiang?

  He's that witch.

  Holding a bottle of poison in his hand, he can persecute everyone's living space anytime and anywhere.

  You are a good person, if you don’t want to take poison, then help me find a werewolf.

   To bite, to put other people in focus.

   And the werewolf didn't want to take poison, so he poured dirty water on the good people.

   Get him knocked out.

   Gu Xiaomeng and Wu Zhiguo are werewolves.

  The two are wearing the cover of good people, the purpose is to eliminate all good people.

  Bai Xiaonian and Jin Shenghuo are ordinary civilians.

   Whether it is life or death depends purely on the quality of your own speech.

   As for Li Ningyu, it is like the golden water that a prophet examines before his death.

  Prophet, know she is a good person.

   But the prophet died.

   Wu Zhiguo and Gu Xiaomeng, the two werewolves, also know that Bai Xiaonian, Jin Shenghuo, and Li Ningyu are good people. Moreover, Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu were good friends at the beginning of this werewolf killing, and they belonged to a double-row friend room, so they naturally had a good impression.

   The witch doesn't know who Jin Shui is.

  The hunter doesn't know who Jin Shui is.

   May be known by dead (non-existent) seers.

  Although this illusory prophet did not have time to speak, he told everyone that "Li Ningyu is golden water". But as far as the God's perspective of the game in this drama is concerned, Li Ningyu's status as a good person has already been confirmed.

   As for the real gold water, he brought his friends to play together.

  And judging from his usual behavior towards his friends, he never would have guessed that this person's identity is actually a wolf.

  So, on the premise that the witches and hunters took pictures of their identities, the clergy didn't know that there was a prophet Jin Shui among these civilian players, and Jin Shui didn't know that his friend with the highest status card in the game was a werewolf.

   At this time, the werewolf Gu Xiaomeng pushed Jin Shui, on the one hand to hide his identity, and on the other hand started the massacre under the cover of Jin Shui.

  The goal of the werewolf is very simple, personal honor or disgrace does not matter.

   As long as the team wins.

  So the usual barb is the barb, and the charge is the charge.

  Both sides are fighting with thunder, fire and bayonet.

   But when it came time to vote for life and death, these two people must have the same guns facing outward.

  In the end, apart from Li Ningyu, who is the real gold water, and the gun father, witch, and civilians, he will not let go of anyone who deserves to be killed.

  This is the underlying logic of the entire "The Wind" script.

   is also the core of the whole story.

  So, it is a group portrait show, a game, and even more so, a werewolf massacre game that is popular.

  Speaking of which, with the different trends of the story, the protagonists that may stand out are also different. Let's not talk about objectivity, let's talk about the characters they represent in the game itself.

  If "clerics" such as Takeda and Wang Tianxiang lead the civilians to find the two werewolves, they will win.

  After the game is over, which of these living civilians can't say "Gun Dad Niubi, Witch Niubi, thank you for having you"?

  And if the civilians lead to victory, destroy the werewolves. The two priests who were taken to lie down should also be grateful to Dade, thinking that there was a master who led them to lie down for a round.

  So, in this game, whoever wins is the protagonist of this game.

   This is the charm of werewolf killing.

  Construct your own logic chain through language, deception, temptation, speculation, etc., to complete the victory of the game.

  And in the game script of "Werewolf Victory" constructed in this form, the protagonists are actually two people who deserve it.

  Just Gu Xiaomeng and Wu Zhiguo.

  With this logic, we can start to design a plot that belongs to film art along this story line.

   How Wu Zhiguo and Gu Xiaomeng won the game can only be known during the replay.

  But before the end of the game and the replay session, Wu Zhiguo was not the protagonist...or lacked some. And the real protagonists are Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu who are the driving force throughout the game.

  A golden water, a whirlwind barb, the golden water of the hook haunts the wolf that has been washed.

  The role of these two people is very important.

   This is the story aspect.

  In reality, it is a platform built on the premise of "Gu Xiaomeng" as the core.

  Don't care who it is, come here, in front of Gu Xiaomeng, it can be said that you will automatically become a supporting role.

   This is also the underlying logic of the script.

  Group portrait show.

good.

  The whole protagonist is not bad.

  But there are also protagonists and supporting roles among the protagonists.

  Can Liang Bingning play Li Ningyu?

   The answer is not important.

  The important thing is whether Li Ningyu played by Liang Bingning will crush Gu Xiaomeng played by Yang Mi in terms of acting skills.

   If crushed, then the existence of the role of Gu Xiaomeng will become weakened.

  The protagonist automatically becomes the foil.

  Even if the game is over and the werewolf still wins, it will become Jin Shui's intentional "lose" for the sake of friends.

  Even if the werewolf wins in the end, it will still cause physical discomfort to the audience.

  Friends game, share identities, tell each other cards, play cooperation...

   Winning is not based on logic, phew, disgusting.

  If the audience feels this way, then the play can almost be said to have failed.

  But if Yang Mi's acting skills are not crushed, let alone surpassed, as long as the fight is evenly matched.

  Then it will become the end of the game, the werewolf wins, and Jin Shui complains, "I only know that she is very good at playing good people, but I really didn't realize that she is also so good at playing werewolf".

   Moreover, both of them are women.

  Jin Shui's complaint is equivalent to the approval of Gu Xiaomeng's actor Yang Mi's performance in this round.

  Yang Mi can step on everyone with peace of mind.

  She can step on Liang Bingning to the top.

   Then, it will be completely red.

   It's not the kind of red that fans know and like. It is the kind of red that has been recognized by the general audience.

  Red, all the same red.

  But the inner core is different.

  What the former needs is some fate, some luck, and some coincidence. But the latter is real, and is famous for the core inner essence of an actor-"acting skills".

  Hong is down-to-earth, no one can find faults, and there will be no argument of "ah, Yang Mi is very popular, but her acting skills are shit."

  For Xu Xin, which one is important?

   Still need to ask?

   It must be the latter.

  So, when Liang Bingning delivered it to his door, he really wanted to eat it.

   It is not the kind of eating in the true sense, but a kind of hunger and thirst that has discovered opportunities.

  In his own script of "Cracking the Silent", he added a sentence from the plot.

   "You can't eat grass, you have to eat meat. Sheep only eat grass."

   That's it.

  The entertainment industry is a food chain. Layer after layer of food forms an ecological circle.

  Aside from external capital forces and the like, as far as the single point is concerned, in this circle where the big fish eat the small fish...don't pretend, don't hide, open the skylight and speak out.

   Want to be the top predator, want to be the front line.

   Then "cannibalism".

   Or devour.

   Or it would be more appropriate to say Snake Snake.

  Tear off the fattest piece of meat from the opponent, chew it up, and feed it into Yang Mi's mouth.

  He...was really whetted by this woman.

  Eat it, and your body will grow a lot.

  So, I want to eat her up and leave nothing.

  Because he understands, like a hungry predator in a cruel nature.

  As long as she can be eaten, then she can grow into a big one.

  Eat, and be eaten.

   For creatures who want to fight for power, want to stand out, and want to be "first-line", there is no third choice. Xu Xin knew that neither he nor his fiancée wanted to be a sheep.

   Don't want to eat grass either.

  Thinking of this, he couldn't help swallowing.

   This woman...

  It's so tempting.

   I'm starving him to death...

   "..."

   After thinking in silence for a while, he called Yang Mi again.

   "Dudu... Hey, what are you doing? I told you, don't disturb me, I'm in the show!"

  Yang Mi's dissatisfied voice almost came out through her voice.

  Xu Xin doesn't care.

   directly said:

   "Let me tell you something."

  …

   "..."

  Hengdian, inside the hotel.

   Leaning on the sofa, Yang Mi frowned.

  The phone has been hung up.

   Not only Qi Lei has to consider this matter, but Xu Xin also has to consider it.

   She has to think about it too.

  And there is only one point to consider, and that is...whether I am enough to wrestle with Liang Bingning.

  As for Xu Xin's thoughts of "stepping on Liang Bingning's superior position" in Xu Xin's words...

   In fact, there is no need to say.

  After he recounted the ins and outs of this incident, Yang Mi already understood what her fiancé meant.

  Excited?

   Definitely excited.

  As long as she nods, Li Ningyu will hardly accept any other actor to play the role.

  Better than Liang Bingning, no.

   Worse than Liang Bingning, let alone.

   It can only be her.

  Because only by stepping on her shoulders, can I squeeze to the real front line.

  The word "first-line" is actually very mysterious.

   is erratic.

   Up to now, there is no real definition of what an actress should do in order to reach the front line.

   But one thing is for sure.

  That is... If an actress wants to be a front-line actress, she must step on another front-line to rise to the top.

  For example, the fashion industry needs to grab another star who endorses red luxury and blue luxury.

   Everyone also has the qualifications to endorse top luxury brands. In the end, the high-end luxury brands chose you instead of others, so you are higher than the people who were not selected.

  For example, the entertainment industry is also a company. He is Huayi, and you are just a star studio.

  Then your status is as high as that of others, because the support of their intertwined strength can easily crush you.

   This line...

   Very brutal.

  Everyone wants to stand on the front line and overlook the common people.

   Now that there is such an opportunity, does Yang Mi want to miss it?

  Of course I don't want to.

  Is Liang Bingning the front line?

no doubt.

  Whether it is Hong Kong or Beijing, she has enough tonnage.

   In terms of artistic achievements, those popular dramas have completely established her status.

  In terms of commercial resources, there are scenes of TV series and movies, familiar images on the screen, and the most intuitive annual income... Although her income is not much compared to other entertainment companies. But in the line of actresses, she is already very tall.

   Not to mention the box office.

  "Mobile Phone", "Fuse", "Shinjuku Incident", "Thousands of Changes" and so on.

  Looking at the artists she cooperates with, one can intuitively understand that she is the front line.

   And now I suddenly have an opportunity.

  A chance to step on her shoulders...

  Recalling that night, I stood on the edge like the minions of the school dance, OB expecting that surrounded by the crowd, she and Wu Qilong could cross the order and enter the elevator scene...

  Yang Mi's heart was burning.

  Fire, burning.

   is spreading.

   is boiling.

as well as…

   It's like a predator eyeing its prey.

   A sense of hunger began to brew in his stomach.

   so hungry...

  I really want to... eat her...

  So.

  Instinct urged her to hardly think, and picked up the phone.

   "Doo...Hello."

  Hearing her lover's voice, she almost whispered in a trembling voice:

   "Brother...I want her. If I want her, no one else can do it except her~~~~ okay?"

"OK."

   Without thinking about it, Xu Xin directly gave her answer:

   "I want her too."

  Although it sounds a bit ambiguous at first glance.

  But Yang Mi knows what her lover is expressing.

  So, she pursed her lips:

"Well...wait for me to go back, okay? Just like what I said yesterday, let's "shoot" this movie in advance, twice if one time is not enough, three times if two times are not enough...I will never let you Disappointed!"

   "Okay...but no grudges, no quarrels."

   "Absolutely not!"

   This time it was not a joke, nor was it a joke.

  Yang Mi's eyes are extremely serious:

   "If you don't blow her up, this matter won't be over!"

   "Okay, then I'll ask her out for dinner tonight."

   "Well... make a good relationship with her, okay?"

   "..."

  On the other end of the phone, Xu Xin glanced at the clerk who helped him install a new mobile phone card, and Xu Xin said:

   "Isn't once enough?"

   "Not enough..."

   Seems to understand what he said, Yang Mi replied firmly:

   "I don't have that much appetite, so I have to take my time."

  “…Then you have to think about it, if you encounter a certain movie next time… If the character needs an age span, her priority must be ahead of you. Otherwise, she may not be hooked.”

"I didn't intend to let you keep me as the queen's heroine. This is not how it is played in this circle. If you eat too ugly, you will be jealous. But at this stage, a good relationship with her will help me a lot! At least... I can copy her pattern, if there is a pitfall, she will step on it first, and I will refine it later."

   "So... to make friends? You can think about it, and keep tigers in trouble."

   "..."

  Fiancé's persuasion calmed her down a bit.

   thought for a while, and said:

   "Then let's figure it out slowly later. You should establish a good relationship with her first. Give me some time and let me think about it."

   "Okay. Then I'll call Qi Lei."

"Um!"

  Listening to Yang Mi's voice, Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

   "Relax, everything is up to me. If I can't do it, there is Director Zhang."

   "...um! Hang up, I read the script."

"good."

  The phone was hung up, and Xu Xin's newly bought mobile phone had also finished installing the new card.

  The number this time is very low-key, ordinary. I didn't even look at the newly launched Samsung W2009, I just bought a blackberry that was bigger and easier to hold than the N95. Then start filtering groups.

  I used my original phone number, otherwise others would definitely not recognize it.

   "Hello, I'm Xu Xin. This phone number has changed due to the end of the Olympic Games. The following is the latest number. Please save it and contact me through this number in the future. Thank you."

After sending a series of information including Bao Beier's mobile phone number, such as "Zhang Gong of the electronics factory, Li Supervisor of the construction team" Balabala, when all the information was sent, he pulled out the mobile phone card and put his original phone number. The phone number is stuffed into a Blackberry that has been tuned to silent.

  The Nokia N95, known as the "handheld computer", kept the phone numbers of those people who sent the group just now. Because the mobile phone number exists locally, it is regarded as the carrier platform for the new mobile phone number.

  People say BlackBerry is safe.

  He also tasted it...

   Now that he has more and more phones, he really needs to choose a similar security phone.

As for the dual-system, dual-card dual-standby mobile phones that emphasize privacy, and the first choice for successful people... In his opinion, the mobile phone is not designed to prevent outsiders at all, but to prevent the palace from finding the mistress. …

   Essentially, the buttocks are crooked.

   Then, following the messages he sent, some replies began to be received in the phone one after another.

  But Xu Xin didn't care.

   Didn't read any of them, just cleared all the text messages with Yang Mi.

  Those messages that are so nasty that they are sometimes bigger than obscene jokes... are really not suitable for business phones.

   It will be troublesome if someone sees it.

   Then, he drove back to school.

   I still have to go to class.

  Get out of the car and walk into the school.

  He took the BlackBerry in his hand and sent Qi Lei a message:

   "President Qi, find a place where you can drink tea in the afternoon and have dinner in the evening? Shall I invite Liang Bingning to have dinner together in the evening?"

   "No problem, I'll arrange it, see you this afternoon?"

   "Well, see you this afternoon. I'll be there after class."

"good."

   Before entering the school gate, after sending this last message, he put his phone in his bag.

  When you enter the school gate, you are a student.

  It is better for students to be simple.

  …

  Qinchuan Yashe.

   At first glance, it sounds like the name of a real estate complex, but in fact it is a clubhouse under the Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce for high-end banquets.

  Pure business type.

   As for how high-end or luxurious it is, Xu Xin is indeed here for the first time, so he doesn't know much about it.

   After mentioning Qi Lei's appointment, he was led into the elevator by the waiter.

  Xu Xin saw business banquet boxes with closed doors.

  Occasionally passing by with some guests, everyone will politely nod, which seems to mean that all peoples are brothers.

  To tell the truth, Xu Xin has never been to this kind of place...you can call it a club, or a club.

   It seemed too contrived before.

  Now I feel...too far away.

   This place is on the side of the Temple of Heaven, Xu Xin drove for almost an hour before arriving from the school.

   Fortunately, it is not the peak period, otherwise it is really enough.

   After opening the door of the box and entering, Xu Xin saw Qi Lei who was chatting and laughing with a young and beautiful tea master.

   "Haha, Director Xu."

  Qi Lei smiled and stood up, turned to the tea master and said:

   "Okay, you go out first."

  The tea artisan smiled and nodded, stood up gracefully pressing the cheongsam, covered his chest and bowed to Xu Xin, then walked out with graceful steps.

  The cheongsam fits very well, showing the figure of the tea artist to the fullest.

   After the tea art master left, Qi Lei had already sat in the tea art master's seat and handed over an envelope at the same time.

"Although I don't know Xu Daoxi doesn't like this place, but when I booked the room in the afternoon, I talked to the manager here, and they sent me the membership card here. Director Xu doesn't need to worry about the membership fee, we come from the factory Responsible... President Tian and the others usually come to Yanjing for meetings, or for business banquets in the factory, and they all like to come here. When they are away from home, Shaanxi people must have a place to meet and chat."

  Xu Xin took it, opened it to look, and found that there was a card and a handwritten letter inside, which probably meant a letter welcoming Director Xu.

   understood the meaning and nodded:

   "Where does this place belong to?"

   "Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce."

   "Oh~~~~"

  After understanding it in seconds, he put the card in his wallet, and folded the letter into the wallet in front of Qi Lei. Before he was seated, Qi Lei had already warmed his teacup and poured tea.

   After receiving the Yellow Crane Tower lighting from Qi Lei, I heard him ask:

"How is the class?... When I communicated with the leaders in the afternoon, they originally wanted to come directly to ask Director Xu what you mean. When I said that you are in class, everyone laughed and remembered the identity of Director Xu's student. ..."

   "Ha~"

  Xu Xin smiled and nodded:

   "Just call me next time. No matter what, I can't let the leader wait for me, right? When the leaders come to Beijing, Mr. Qi will have to call me and have a glass of wine to make up for it."

   "No, no, it's good news after all."

   Qi Lei took this as an introduction, and said directly:

   "When Liang Bingning heard that Director Xu invited her to dinner at night, she could tell in her tone that she was very happy. She asked if it was convenient for her to bring her manager at night..."

   "..."

  Xu Xin was taken aback.

   A flash of thought flashed in his eyes, and he asked:

   "What's the background of her manager?"

   "Called to be the behind-the-scenes driving force of Wanwan Entertainment...but it's a bit exaggerated."

  Qi Lei shook his head slightly:

"There are shadows of groups such as Sanlian and Hesheng behind Wanwan's entertainment companies. They are called pushers, but they are nothing more than scapegoats. Mu Xiaoguang obviously knows this, so he joined Huayi early a few years ago. Became a manager. Hua Yi has contributed a lot to Wanwan's business... But in the final analysis, the root is not right, the seedlings are not popular, and he may be able to enjoy it in Wanwan, but in our place, he has brains but can't exert his strength... For example Liang Bingning's departure this time belongs to his powerlessness."

"how?"

   "Does Director Xu know who Li Bingbing's manager is?"

   "I heard...it seems to be her cousin?"

"Yes, they are called Li Xue. They are relatives. Li Xue contributed a lot to Li Bingbing's entry into Huayi. At that time, Wang Jinghua could almost cover the sky in Huayi, and Li Xue was one of her apprentices. Wang Jinghua left Afterwards, Li Xue was the ace manager handpicked by Huayi."

   "It turns out that..."

  Xu Xin nodded slightly:

"That makes sense. Hua Yi has suffered so much from Wang Jinghua, and he understands that all eggs can never be put in the same basket. So he called Zhou Xun? The resources are shared equally, but Liang Bingning is not satisfied... Originally, the two Bing Zhengyan, Mu Xiaoguang and Li Xue can't compare. She suffered a hidden loss. In this weekly news, Hua Yi is actually planning to flatten the risk. From the company level, there is nothing wrong with it, but there is nothing wrong with it. Personally speaking, Liang Bingning... Li Bingbing is a bit hard for her to fight, and adding Zhou Xun... makes it even more useless, so why did she leave?"

   "..."

  Xu Xin's words made Qi Lei a little surprised, and couldn't help asking:

   "Director Xu knows these... well?"

   "I don't understand."

   Smiling and shaking his head, Xu Xin is like a beautiful flower, unscrupulously showing off his "beauty".

   "After clarifying these ins and outs, isn't Liang Bingning's position easy to grasp? It doesn't take much brains to understand these things."

   "..."

  Qi Lei was stunned.

  Suddenly gave a wry smile.

   "Director Xu...you really don't look like a young man in his early twenties. It's too difficult to fool you~"

   "We are friends, how can we not be fooled."

  Xu Xin has a lot of meaning.

  But I also know that I will accept it as soon as it is good.

   With a "smart enough not to fool me" reminder, that's it.

  Otherwise, if this continues, others will change from fear to vigilance.

   Then it’s not worth it.

  So, he smiled and shook his head:

   "So, what do the leaders think?"

   "... Director Xu couldn't think of it?"

   "I can't think of it, I don't know the wisdom of the leader."

   "..."

  Qi Lei's face was strange for a while.

  If you think in your heart, just keep your eyes open and tell nonsense.

  Now the thinking in the factory is following the thinking given by you, but at this juncture you start to give credit to the leader?

  Tibetan is not such a Tibetan method.

  But on second thought...

  The credit for this is distributed...it falls to the factory...

  It seems that Director Xu's value is also being magnified...

  Thinking of this, my heart suddenly trembled.

  But immediately there are some sighs...

   Good guy...

  Is this man really just a young man in his early twenties?

  Think about what I was doing when I was twenty?

  But... let’s talk about it, think about it, after understanding what Xu Xin meant, he followed Xu Xin’s words and put all the "credit" on the leader:

"The meaning of the factory is actually very simple. I trust Director Xu 100% and that's why I blamed me for contacting Liang Bingning. Since Director Xu wants to make an appointment to have a chat, let's have a chat. As for Liang Bingning... Director Xu thinks, what does she want?"

   "..."

   Facing Qi Lei's rhetorical question, Xu Xin didn't rush to answer.

   But thinking.

   It wasn't until he finished smoking a cigarette that he suddenly asked:

   "If Liang Bingning wants to invest in TV dramas and movies by herself, what will the factory plan to do?"

   "..."

   This time it was Qi Lei's turn to be silent.

   Silent, smoking.

  Xu Xin didn't rush, but kept silent and drank tea.

   After about two or three minutes, Qi Lei suddenly said:

   "This afternoon, I specifically checked the funding background of her "Liang Bingning Studio". There are probably three main investors, one is Bona Films, one is Cheng Long, and the other is Xiangjiang Emperor."

  Xu Xin narrowed his eyes.

   This sentence is actually quite interesting.

  Bona itself is a film distribution company, which can replace the role of West Film Studio.

  As for Cheng Long and Emperor…

   It is not within the scope of consideration of Xiying Studio for the time being.

  Because the reason why Xiying Studio went to war because of Liang Bingning's sudden show of favor, to put it bluntly, was not because of how much money Liang Bingning could make for Xiying Studio.

  It is brand value, and the strength after cooperation.

  Qi Lei's words meant that Liang Bingning didn't have any other cards in her hand.

  So... this cooperation is not about attachment, but about taking what they need.

   That is to say, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, but it is not without a small ax in the hand of the person enjoying the shade.

  This scale must be very precise.

  So, after thinking about it, Xu Xin said:

   "Bona is just publishing, not signing artists, right?"

"right."

"Well…"

   Another round of silence.

  After thinking for a while, Xu Xin suddenly said:

   "It seems... then we have to go another way."

   "...?"

  Qi Lei was a little puzzled.

  Xu Xin suddenly asked:

   "In our factory, what is the current staffing of actors?"

  (end of this chapter)
