I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 321: 319. She's So Weird Today

   Chapter 321 319. She is so strange today

  At 2:00 p.m., the crew of "The Legend of the White Snake" started work.

  Xu Xin stayed in the crew for a while, chatting with the director and the producer, and finally waited for Liu Zhishi to start filming, watched her two more scenes, and then left.

good.

  The acting skills have improved slightly.

   But still limited.

  Her eyes are so deadly.

  Although it can be seen that she is trying to make up for it, the problem of being unable to see clearly and appearing very sloppy still cannot be corrected.

  But according to Yang Mi, she seems to be preparing for an operation...

  But he doesn't know whether this thing is specifically mature or immature.

   Seeing the X5 driven by Zhang Jiao, Xu Xin was a little surprised:

   "How to get an X5 here?"

   "The boss of the car rental company gave us his car and gave me a red envelope of 5,000 yuan."

  Zhang Jiao chose to tell the truth.

   When Xu Xin heard this, he nodded:

   "Let you take care of business more?"

"right."

   "That's simple, who is the person in charge of "Legend of the Wind", you can just talk to him when the time comes. Just say I let it. As long as the price is fair, who is it?"

   "Thank you Brother Xu~!"

  Hearing this, Xu Xin smiled:

"However... don't get lost by these little money. Just hone your acting skills. In the future, if you take on a role, you will be able to earn hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. This money is more secure than others. You don't rely on me, nor anyone else. , but become someone else's reliance, understand what I mean?"

   "Yeah! I get it!"

  Zhang Jiao nodded vigorously.

  Xu Xin leaned on the seat and took out his mobile phone.

   "Doo...Hello?"

"wake up?"

  Hearing that Yang Mi's voice was a little hoarse, he asked with concern.

   "Well...you called just after waking up. Did you see Shishi?"

"Um."

   "How do you say that?"

"It's nothing, I just told her about Liu Yifei. I said you can tell Tang Ren, but she refused. She said that friends don't mention this, and she will keep your secret for you. As for Liu Yifei, That's the company's coping strategy, she just plays her part well. This is her attitude~"

   "Huh... Then I can rest assured."

  From this sentence, Xu Xin knew that... She might cherish the friendship with Liu Zhishi more than she thought.

   "Then I watched two plays of her today."

"how do you feel?"

   “So-so…Improved, but not much.”

   "...um. What are you going to do now?"

   "Look for buns. Then stay overnight and go to Shanghai tomorrow. Do you have any other orders?"

   "Hee hee, it's gone~ Oh, brother, you have worked hard~ I will rub your shoulders, beat your back and wash your feet~"

  Xu Xin rolled his eyes:

   "Just be poor, you. That's fine, hang up."

"Um."

  Hung up the phone, Xu Xin yawned lazily:

   "Ha... well, where is the bun?"

   "I'm filming at Shanghetu."

   "Well... call me when you arrive."

  He reclined the seat completely and closed his eyes.

   He was in a daze and didn't know how long it took before he was woken up by Zhang Jiao.

   "Brother Xu, we're here."

"…Um."

   Sitting up in a daze, he looked at the parking lot surrounded by a row of cars, opened the door and got out of the car.

  Zhang Jiao hadn't been here either, and the two of them only saw the place with the radio microphone after identifying each other for a while.

   And there are also some people around... I don't know if they are tourists or what.

   Seeing this, Xu Xin said:

   "I won't go, you can go and see when the buns end."

"okay."

  Xu Xin returned to the car.

   After waiting for about 20 minutes, he saw Zhao Liying and Zhang Jiao walking this way together.

   When seeing Zhao Liying's look, Xu Xin burst out laughing.

   These two shofar braids...

  Who is this artistic image designer?

  How much enmity is this with Baozi?

   While thinking about it, the two of them had already walked to the front of the car.

  Zhao Liying opened the back door and got in the car.

  After seeing Xu Xin, he greeted him respectfully:

   "Director Xu."

   "Hmm... who designed your look?"

  Xu Xin suppressed a smile, turned his head and asked.

   And it can be seen that Zhao Liying also knows that her appearance...is a bit ugly.

  Simply untied the braided braid.

  She is wearing normal clothes at the moment.

   Seeing this, Xu Xin asked again:

   "Finished filming?"

   "Well, I just finished today's play, and I finished greeting the director."

   "Then let's go. Go back to the town. Tonight you two will do what you like, and clean up everything that needs to be done. Don't worry about me~"

   "Okay~... Brother Xu, if you drink alcohol, you still have to call me..."

   "If you don't drink, I'll go back to the hotel to rest. After sending me back in a while, you two can do whatever you want."

  He who didn't get enough sleep just now yawned lazily.

   Just when he was about to catch up on his sleep, his phone rang.

   "I'm wandering in the world~I can't find your paradise~I wish I could never forget~~~"

   This ringtone is after he heard Xu Song's song in "The Voice" and thought it was pretty good, so he used it as a ringtone.

  However... I have to admit that it is really troublesome to change the ring tone of this IPHONE.

  It must be replaced with its professional music software.

   Trouble as hell.

   When he saw the caller, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

   It turned out to be Liang Bingning.

  He connected the phone with a friendly tone:

   "Hello, Miss Bingbing."

   "Come to Hengdian?"

   "...?"

  Xu Xin was taken aback:

"how do you know?"

   "Hey, why didn't I know? You just left Liu Zhishi's crew, and the whole Hengdian received the news. I don't know how many group leaders and Fuhuadao companies want to know what you are doing this time."

   "Good guy... what are you doing? Are you wanted in the whole city?"

  Xu Xin couldn't laugh or cry.

   "You~~"

  Liang Bingning's voice was full of helplessness:

   "It's too careless. How can you be so open and aboveboard when you go to visit the class? What if the paparazzi here stir up the scandal between you and Liu Zhishi?"

   "...Isn't it? I'm married."

"It's because you're married that it's worth speculating on. Pre-marital cheating is not as popular as post-marital cheating. It's not like you don't know their virtues. It doesn't matter if you are true or not. They reported it first and said... haven't left yet Bar?"

   "No, it's in the film and television city."

   "Which district are you in?"

   "Here on the river map."

   "Come to Guangzhou Street, I'm right here in the military building where we filmed "The Wind". Come show your face, so as not to avoid rumors spreading outside. Be careful~"

  Xu Xin thought about it, and it really made sense.

   Then said:

   "Okay, then I'll go there."

   "Well, come on, I'll wait for you."

"good."

  The phone hung up, and Xu Xin said directly:

   "Go to Guangzhou Street. That's where the military plane was filming "The Sound of the Wind"~"

"OK."

  Zhang Jiao nodded and changed direction directly.

   Soon, Guangzhou Street, which is more of the Republic of China style, arrived.

  After arriving at the "Military Aircraft Office", Xu Xin looked at Yang Tianzhen who was already waiting on the side of the road, motioned Zhang Jiao to drive the car there, and then rolled down the window.

   "Director Xu."

  Yang Tianzhen greeted respectfully.

   "Hmm. Where's Sister Bingbing?"

"inside."

"good."

  Xu Xin got out of the car and glanced at Zhang Jiao and Zhao Liying:

   "You two follow me."

"Uh-huh."

  The two of them quickly got out of the car and followed Xu Xin.

   "What kind of scene is Sister Bingbing filming here?"

   ""Eastern Wind and Rain", a film directed and acted by director Liu Yunlong."

"who?"

  Xu Xin was taken aback.

   "Liu Yunlong, Director Xu, haven't you heard of it?"

"without."

   ""The Conspiracy", has Director Xu read it?"

"without."

   "Director Liu also started out as a spy film, and he has a lot of acting experience in this area. This time, "Eastern Wind and Rain" has an investment of 100 million yuan, and it tells the story of what happened when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor..."

"oh oh."

  Perhaps because he has already finished filming "The Wind", he is not very interested in this kind of spy film.

   It's like sage time.

but…

   Still feeling a little emotional.

   "A hundred million..."

  This investment...is not a lot.

  His current total investment in the two films will be about 60 million.

  This is just the total investment of the film.

  If it is the total personal investment, it will be even lower.

  However, the cost of 60 million was exchanged for a domestic box office of 500 million and a global box office of 800 million.

like…

   can also be justified?

   Should be considered qualified, right?

  He thought about some knowingly asking some questions in his mind, and then came to another street.

   Then after walking into a song and dance hall building, the sound of opera came from inside.

  Under the spotlight, Liang Bingning, wearing ordinary clothes, was lying sideways on a long table on the stage, lip-synching to the live music.

   It seems that it should be the preparation work before sitting down and filming.

  And Yang Tianzhen said:

   "Director Xu, do you want to say hello to Director Liu?"

"okay."

   After turning his head to signal Zhang Jiao and Zhao Liying to follow him, he followed Yang Tianzhen to another group of people.

  When he got to the place, Yang Tianzhen quickened his pace and came to a man in his thirties who seemed to have the charm of a mature man and said a few words, the man turned around and looked at Xu Xin.

  First, he showed a look of astonishment.

  But he greeted him immediately with a smile.

   "Director Xu, welcome, welcome."

   Following his movements, everyone in the crew looked over.

   After seeing Xu Xin, many people showed surprise.

  Xu Xin?

  How did he come here?

  Hearing what he said, Xu Xin greeted him with a smile, and reached out to hold him together:

   "Director Liu, hello, hello, I'm taking the liberty to visit, I hope Director Liu will not be offended."

   "Hahaha, how can it be~"

  Liu Yunlong smiled heartily.

   "Director Xu, it's too late for us to be happy, and we just happen to be able to give us some advice."

   "Don't, don't, that's too serious."

  Xu Xin continued to shake his head:

   "I'm here to visit Sister Bingbing. So who, Tianzhen, you and Jiaojiao go and get the drinks you bought... Director Liu, filming is hard work, I bought some Red Bull to refresh everyone, don't be disgusted."

   "Hahahaha, Director Xu is too polite..."

  Although Red Bull came out of nothing, Yang Tianzhen and Zhang Jiao obviously knew what Xu Xin meant.

   Immediately nodded and walked out together.

   It doesn’t matter where you buy it, as long as it’s Red Bull.

   At this time, Liang Bingning also saw Xu Xin, but she didn't stop, but continued to sing songs conscientiously, lip-syncing.

   "Director Xu, this way please."

   "Hey, Director Liu, you are too polite."

  Xu Xin's attitude was unusually polite, and after walking to the side with Liu Yunlong, he asked:

   "How long has Director Liu been filming this scene?"

   "Two months. The main reason is that some big scenes are more time-consuming and longer. Is Director Xu's "The Wind" released?"

"right."

   "The box office is..."

   "Three hundred million."

  Hearing his words, Liu Yunlong showed emotion:

   "Honey... Number one this year?"

   "How can it be."

  Xu Xin hastened to be humble:

   "The drama in October is the most important thing. If I can be in the top ten, it's not bad."

   "Hahaha~"

  Liu Yunlong seems to like to laugh very much, and the laughter is very hearty.

   "We just need to learn from Director Xu..."

   "Don't. I should learn from you. When I came here just now, I heard Tianzhen say that your investment in this movie is 100 million?...I'm really looking forward to this kind of big production."

   Anyway, just greet and chat.

  You blow me, I blow you.

  My movie is only 300 million.

  Your old man, this 300 million show that can guarantee its capital will definitely sell for 500 million.

  Don't worry about what will happen then, anyway, the auspicious words will be spoken first.

   At this time, Liang Bingning's test shoot was finally over.

  After getting off the stage, she walked over with a smile:

   "Coming?"

  As soon as she came, Liu Yunlong also knew what was going on, and exchanged pleasantries with Xu Xin:

   "Director Xu, then I will prepare first."

   "Hey, Director Liu, you are busy, thank you for your hard work."

  After being polite again, Xu Xin and Liang Bingning also took a few steps back and came to the edge of the ballroom.

  Looking at Liang Bingning who hadn't put on makeup, he asked:

   "When will you arrive at Sister Bingbing?"

"I don't have any scenes today. When I called you just now, the last one was finished. I wanted to leave... But I heard the news of your coming here, so I thought about letting you come over. I was watching outside just now. Is there a reporter yet?"

   "No... I didn't see it."

   "Well... then I'll ask Tianzhen later. They're elusive now, and if you don't pay attention, you might not find them."

   Liang Bingning said, glanced at Xu Xin, and suddenly asked:

   "Do you see any changes in me?"

   Xu Xin, who had been focusing on the busy crew members, turned to look at her...

   First a rough look, then a careful observation.

   Frowning and asked:

   "Why do you look so tired?"

   "Oh~"

  Liang Bingning sighed:

   "Shall we have a drink tonight?"

"Well…"

  Seeing Xu Xin's hesitant look, she didn't wait for a response, but said to herself:

"I finished filming "The Wind" a few years ago, and at the beginning of the year I went to "Golden Taipan" invested by myself. At the end of April, I directly joined the crew of "October Besieged City". It is also a gift film, shot by Xiangjiang. You saw me when I ran the promotion. I was filming in "New Shaolin Temple". After the filming of "New Shaolin Temple", I will come here. It is expected to go to France to shoot a movie in mid-August, called "Strategy "Horse". I don't know if I can finish the filming in two months, and then I will film "Guanyin Mountain" directed by Li Yu in October. I will film a feature film called "Sunshine Chongqing" in November..."

   "...?????"

  Xu Xin was **** dumbfounded.

  He began to scratch his fingers.

   Not counting my own "The Wind"... 1... 2... 3...

   "Seven plays? Are you going to make seven plays this year?"

"Um."

  Liang Bingning responded:

"From the beginning of the new year to the present, I haven't had a day off. Not to mention looking for someone to drink, it is impossible to even sleep in. This is so easy to catch you... Have dinner with me at night and have a drink. Others... I don't want to drink too, it's awkward."

   "...?"

   There was no reason, Xu Xin suddenly felt a little strange.

   This sentence sounds a bit ambiguous at first glance.

  But the expression on her face didn't have the slightest bit... let alone ambiguous, it didn't even look like she gave herself a place to smoke in the studio that day.

   On the contrary, there is a kind of intimacy of the parents.

  Including from the beginning of the chat to the present, it has been like this.

  Xu Xin felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.

   is quite strange.

  It seems... everyone is our own people...

  You are a bit strange, sister.

   There was doubt in my heart, but after hearing how hard she worked, Xu Xin also responded:

   "Okay, but... don't drink too much, I'm afraid that after this drink, you will be relieved and you won't be able to lift it up."

   "That's for sure, let's go to the end."

  Liang Bingning responded with a smile:

   "How is Mimi?"

   "Just like that, eat well and be heartless."

   "Haha, I'm missing you."

   The charm of a woman faded away.

  Xu Xin likes her kind of chatting.

  So he shook his head:

   "It's true, no matter what she does, as long as she can maintain a good mood."

   "Good luck..."

  Hearing this, Liang Bingning showed a trace of emotion suddenly.

  But they were not talking deeply, but said to Xu Xin:

   "You really have to pay attention in the future. People here in Hengdian basically communicate with each other. If you appear on Liu Zhishi's crew, someone in my crew will get the news..."

   "What's the point of doing this?"

   "Why is it meaningless? You don't want to think about who you are?"

  Liang Bingning felt helpless:

"You are now sitting on the top of the domestic box office. When the movie "The Wind" came out, everyone knew that you were a gold bowl with low investment and high returns. Investors want to find you, and these persuasive Taoists also Want to find you, even those group leaders. Do you know the bidding? You are the one they want to come and surround now. They are also forming gangs and they are different. Everyone wants to get close to your golden thigh. Do you think you are still there? Are you anonymous?"

   As she spoke, she shook her head slightly:

   "This is Mimi's pregnancy. You've been keeping a low profile recently, and people can't find you. You wait for the second half of the year. When the award ceremonies are held in the second half of the year, you will know how many people are fawning on you."

   Speaking of this, she lowered her voice:

"Remember, when you go to these receptions, parties, etc., you must bring your assistant with you. If any opposite **** sends you a private chat, or finds a place to have a drink, you will go in the worst direction Think about it. No matter what you do, don’t fall into the trap of others, or you will suffer in this way.”

   "..."

  Xu Xin frowned all of a sudden.

   "Sister Bingbing means..."

   "Sweet pastry."

  She suddenly laughed:

"Be prepared in advance. The score of "The Wind" has already proved your ability. Immediately, those people who are struggling and want to get ahead like crazy will try to curry favor with you at all costs, or gnaw at you The next piece of meat comes. That scene... tsk tsk tsk... Do you know why I am so clear? Because I also came from this stage. So... Although it may be inappropriate for me to say this. But I don't want you to encounter this kind of thing I was unprepared at the time. That would be too bad."

   "..."

  Hearing her words, Xu Xin for no reason remembered what Director Zhang had said to him before.

   It was before the filming of "The Wind" started.

  Director Zhang also said that he only saw the tip of the iceberg of things in this circle. If it really succeeds, there will be more chaos waiting for me in the future...

   Is it really that exaggerated?

   Or...you are too young?

   With half-believing mind, he nodded:

   "Hmm...Let me pay more attention."

   "Bring an assistant, the assistant is your best shield."

"Um…"

  Xu Xin responded again.

  At this time, Yang Tianzhen, Zhang Jiao, and Zhao Liying finally walked in with the Red Bull.

   Seeing this, Xu Xin pointed at Zhao Liying:

   "That's the new guy I'm going to sign."

   "I remember her, Baozi, right?"

"Um."

   "Do you want me to help? Several directors I know here are currently filming, should I take her?"

"do not."

  Xu Xin shook his head:

   "Let her go step by step in a down-to-earth way. I'm going to participate in "Legend of Wind" soon."

   "Okay, just tell me if you need help."

"Um."

  Xu Xin responded.

  But to be honest, I feel quite guilty.

  I always feel... this sister seems to be a little different.

  My utilitarianism seems to be less important to me.

   Inexplicable.

  …

   After staying in the crew of "Eastern Wind and Rain" for a while, he walked out with Liang Bingning.

   While he was habitually lighting a cigarette, Liang Bingning said:

   "Here, isn't it on the left?"

"What?"

"reporter."

   "...?"

  He looked to the left, and sure enough, a reporter was holding up a fan to take pictures of him next to a mailbox on Guangzhou Street.

  If Liang Bingning didn't remind him, he might really not see it.

"…Fine."

   Xu Xin, who didn't know what to say for a while, nodded:

   "It's a loss, otherwise there might be some scandals."

   "Let's go. Where's your car?"

   "Parked on the side of the road."

   "Naive, please bring your car over here, we will have a chat on the side of the road and let the reporter take some photos."

   "Okay, sister."

  Yang Tianzhen nodded, and walked quickly towards the distance.

  Xu Xin and her were in front, Zhang Jiao and Zhao Liying followed, and the four of them walked to the X5 on the side of the road together.

   "How long will you stay in Hengdian?"

   "I'm leaving tomorrow."

   "Back to Yanjing?"

   "No, go to Shanghai, there are still some things to do over there."

   "Hmm. By the way, I heard you've been looking for a literary consultant and screenwriter recently?"

   "What? Is there a candidate for Sister Bingbing?"

"have."

  She nodded directly:

   "Lu Haibo, do you know him?"

"…who?"

  Xu Xinxin said why there are names he has never heard of everywhere today.

   Seeing this, Liang Bingning knew that he had obviously never heard of this name, so she said:

  "The editor-in-chief of "TV Art" magazine, the editorial board member of "Drama" magazine, the director, professor, and doctoral supervisor of the Department of Chinese Drama, Film and Television...Have you studied the book "Skills of TV Screenwriting" in school?"

   "...I seem to have seen it, but I don't remember the details... He made all these?"

"right."

   "...a big guy?"

   "No. Let me introduce you to each other?"

   "Okay! Just hearing the name is quite powerful~ But I'm afraid that my temple is small, and people will look down on me."

  Hearing this, Liang Bingning smiled:

   "With me here, what are you afraid of?"

   "..."

  Xu Xin was speechless.

   And I feel more and more... this sister is a bit strange.

   is particularly strange.

   Looking for a monthly pass~
