I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 360: 358. Shot While Lying Down

  Chapter 360 358. Shot while lying down

  Time goes back six hours.

dinner time.

   "This meal is becoming more and more unbearable."

With a bitter face, Yang Mi drank the pigeon soup that replenished qi and blood to the bottom, and then uttered a speechless moan to the five or six dishes on her dinner plate that contained shrimp, fish, and meat. sigh.

  Hearing this, Yang Dalin said to his daughter angrily:

"Okay, what's the point here? Confinement meals are meant to be low in salt and oil. I've eaten them for a month, and I can't stand the confinement in a few days? You're talking about soup. 8 dishes with fruit, okay?"

"It's not impossible, I don't pick vegetables, I just mean the taste of this dish. It seems that after the confinement period, I feel that my mouth is very heavy. You also saw it at noon, the one I asked Xu Xin to buy Wan Lanla, you also said it was just right, and Xu Xin also said it was just right, so I don't think it tastes good..."

  She continued to complain about the food.

  But he didn't move a single chopstick.

   I can’t help it, it’s too weak, I really can’t swallow it.

   Seeing this, Yang Dalin looked down at his lunch box...

  Inside is garlic bacon fried by my wife, as well as cucumber slices and eggs.

  In the past month, I have eaten all the meals nearby.

  So Yang Dalin started to bring food to eat.

  No way, I really can't get used to it.

   No one can bear to eat fried noodles every day, especially when they are older, and the food outside is far less delicious than that at home.

  But this bacon is so salty...

  He was afraid that his daughter would eat it, and his granddaughter and grandson would get angry if they were breastfeeding.

   But looking at her daughter's lack of interest.

  The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, and he is reluctant to do anything.

   After thinking twice, he handed over his lunch box.

   "Eat less bacon, salty, children are easy to get angry."

   "Hey, Dad is the best!"

  Yang Mi happily took the lunch box, and handed her plate to her father:

   "I haven't eaten pigeon meat."

  Hearing this, Yang Dalin glared at her again.

   "I still have to eat your leftovers?"

   "I just drank the soup~ If you don't eat it, Xu Xin will eat it when he comes back. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste~"

  While talking, she added a piece of fatter bacon.

   Feeling the smoky and plump taste in his mouth, he nodded vigorously:

   "Well, when his documentary begins to prepare, I will definitely recommend him to find a shot of bacon. Fat meat is so delicious..."

   While talking, Ding Lingling's phone rang.

  Yang Mi glanced at the caller and connected the call:

   "Hey, Miss Zeng, what's the matter?"

"Mimi, people from Tang Dynasty sent me a business cooperation letter just now, and they want to invite you to be the spokesperson of a game called... "Fantasy Zhu Xian". The endorsement contract is 3 million a year, are you interested? It is said that the original cast of "Sword and Sword" received the invitation together."

  When Zeng Jia was talking, she had already adjusted the phone to be hands-free and put it on the side of the table.

  Eating and chatting.

   "Three million a year? Specifically?"

  "A short advertising film, and a maximum of 8 commercial activities attended."

  Hearing what Zeng Jia said, Yang Mi curled her lips:

   "It doesn't sound very good. People in Tang said it was an overall invitation?"

   "Yes. I don't know the specific price for the overall invitation. The price of 3 million is high in the market. I think it's okay. The price of an online game endorsement is already top-notch in China. 8 events..."

   "It has nothing to do with money, Sister Zeng."

  Yang Mi said:

"When I'm out of confinement, I'm going to audition for a movie. If I pass the audition, I'm going to shoot it. If I don't get the audition, I have to prepare for the wedding. I have a lot of things to do. And Xu Xin is going to make a movie next year. He If I go out, I will spend more time with the children. Forget it, just refuse for me. "

"Well…"

  Hearing this, Zeng Jia was silent for a while, then said:

   "Okay. Will you still accept endorsements for online games in the future? Give me a price, so I can talk to them. And this year, your contract with the VS battle platform is also due."

   "Let's not pick up this year."

   "...not answering?"

  Hearing this, Zeng Jia was silent again, and then said:

   "...Okay, then I will reply to them."

   "Yeah, I'm done, I'm eating now."

"good."

  The phone hung up, and Yang Dalin, who was eating confinement meals, said:

   "It's fine if you don't pick it up, but playing games... After all, it's an online product. It's not a good thing to spoil other children."

"Uh-huh."

   She didn't mean to refute what her father said.

  The generation gap in the era is sometimes not resolved by communication alone.

  In the eyes of my dad's generation, online games are a bit of a plaything.

  The so-called "network luxury product" is not what my father said, but what those experts said.

   Now it’s a little bit stronger. In the past two years, the atmosphere was as if playing games was some kind of mental illness.

   Dela to electrotherapy.

  However, after hearing what her father said, she still wanted to complain:

   "It seems that those who carried tape recorders and danced DISCO in the square 20 or 30 years ago were not of your generation."

   While thinking, she dialed Sun Ting's phone:

   "Hello, Tingting, are you in the company?"

   "Yes, sister, just finished training."

   "Well, have the people from the Ministry of Commerce left?"

   "Well...Zhao Ziyi is still here."

  Zhao Ziyi is the person in charge of the business operation department of Shuangwei Entertainment.

   "Then you tell Lao Zhao that in the future, the online game business will be suspended and not accepted. Let him talk to the big guys tomorrow."

"OK."

  Sun Ting responded, and then added:

   "Then do you want to talk to Sister Hua?"

   "..."

  Yang Mi thought for a while and said:

   "Okay, let me tell you. I won't accept the endorsement of online games for now, but it won't be accepted forever. The trend changes every year. I'll wait for next year to see the situation."

"OK."

  The phone hung up, and Yang Mi continued to eat.

   In fact, she was greatly influenced by Yang Dalin when she ate.

  Especially eating this kind of box lunch, the speed always seems to be very fast.

  After all, since I was a child, I often hang out with my dad in the unit. Those uncles eat very fast, otherwise they may not eat a few bites, and if something happens in the jurisdiction, it will take a long time to leave.

  Old policemen have at least five to six of the ten people who have stomach problems, and this is also the reason.

   Meals are not on time, so I have to speed up.

   And just after eating a lunch box of bacon and fried garlic sprouts, suddenly, the phone rang again.

   That is, the two little guys are at the nurse's station at the moment, otherwise they will ring these two phones, and they will have to be woken up.

   Seeing the caller, Yang Mi connected the call:

   "Hi, Sister Hua."

   "Hey, Mimi, have you eaten yet?"

   "Just put down the chopsticks~"

   "Yeah, eat more, don't try to stay in shape at this time, Bao Ma's nutrition is the most important thing."

  Actually, here is more or less the difference between her and Zeng Jia.

   Zeng Jia is talking about business directly.

  But Wang Jinghua chose the care that can be spoken even if it is nonsense.

  Speaking of it, there are actually no advantages or disadvantages.

  The way things are done is different.

   But listening to it feels much more comfortable.

   After a word of concern, she said:

   "Mimi, I heard from Tingting that you want to suspend the business of online game endorsement?"

"right."

"Could you tell me the reason? Celebrity endorsement in the online game market is a business that has just emerged this year. Although the price is not as high as those of traditional advertisements, the advantage is that the funds are in place and there are fewer trivial matters. Moreover, the influence of celebrity value Hook up. If the game data of the endorsement is good, it will be very helpful to raise your own value. It is a piece of soil worth cultivating."

  She first stated her point of view.

  Yang Mi also knows the truth of what she said, but she understands it...

"Sister Hua, just now I got a contact from Sister Zeng. It was sent by Tang Ren, saying that it is a game from "Perfect World", called "Fantasy Zhu Xian". I paid 3 million yuan for an advertisement, not much. At 8 events a year…”

   ""Perfect World"..."Fantasy Zhu Xian", right? Perfect is also a big company, if you can accept it, it feels okay. Their financial resources are also quite strong, and the possibility of continuing cooperation in the future cannot be ruled out..."

"That's what I said, but if I can get into the movie that I'm going to be busy with after confinement, then I must concentrate on filming. If I'm called to participate in an event at that time... then there will be a conflict. And if I didn’t get selected, and I still have to prepare for the wedding. And... I think it’s too cheap to endorse online games. Didn’t you notice? Then what... Sister Feng, Sora Kurai, and Sister Furong are all endorsing online games..."

"I see."

  Wang Jinghua understood Yang Mi's meaning in seconds.

"Indeed, if you can maintain a high standard, the next step will be to operate slowly after you come back, and to operate towards high luxury. The influence will be much greater than these. Well, then I understand... can I contact you? "

  Just as she understood Yang Mi, Yang Mi also understood her meaning in seconds.

  So he said apologetically:

   "Forget it, Sister Hua. It's not that I am busy, the main thing is that the original cast of "Sword and Sword III" was invited..."

   "That's fine, then I'll pretend I don't know about it."

   "Hmm, I'm sorry, Sister Hua, I don't want to be stabbed in the back."

   "I understand. The game endorsement side...do you want to stop? There is an offer sent to you over there. If you are not interested, you can forward it to me. My side..."

"no problem."

  Yang Mi readily agreed:

   "Then I will talk to Tingting."

   "Well, besides, I'm also helping baby or Baozi to find a suitable business. I don't think about Liu Yifei's side. I will talk about it after Xu Xin brings her back from the film festival. How about it?"

"Mmm Good."

   After a few words, the two completed a round of exchange.

   After exchanging a few pleasantries, after hanging up the phone, Yang Mi heard her father say:

   "This Wang Jinghua feels much more professional than Zeng Jia, right?"

   "There are many majors, many, many, many..."

  Yang Dalin rolled his eyes instantly:

   "You talk too much!"

   "Hey~"

  Yang Mi shrugged:

   "The main reason is that she knows how to measure and is more delicate, so she is quite comfortable to get along with."

   After finishing speaking, she buckled the lunch box:

   "Daddy~I want to eat fruit~"

   "..."

  Yang Dalin was speechless.

  Looking at the fruit platter in front of me, there are bananas, dragon fruit, oranges, cantaloupe, kiwi...but there are no apples.

   "I am your father, not your servant!"

   "Dadbi~~~~~"

  Yang Dalin, whose bones were crisp in an instant, was helpless.

have to.

   Just such a girl.

   spoil it.

  …

   It's almost 1 o'clock in the morning.

  Xu Xin dragged his exhausted body back home.

  But instead of going to the master bedroom, I opened the door of the guest bedroom. After seeing my father-in-law snoring inside, I thought that the mother-in-law should be in the master bedroom.

   This should be because the old couple didn't dare to leave before they came back.

  He didn't say anything, just took off his shoes, and went out of the room again. After washing his face in the public bathroom, he rubbed his eyes vigorously.

   Staring at the TV all day, watching the picture quality of that DV, he also felt very uncomfortable.

  Now my eyes feel dry and astringent.

   When I came back, the pharmacies were still closed.

  I can’t even buy eye drops.

   After flushing with cold water for a while, he returned to the room after feeling that the dryness had faded slightly.

   He yawned twice in a row, leaving some tears in his eyes, then lay down on the sofa and closed his eyes.

  The eyes feel more comfortable after dawn.

   It's just that when I wake up in the morning, there is a lot of eye mucus.

   And... that dry feeling is still there. After all, it was only less than 8 o'clock, and it was the biological clock that set it up for him.

  He really didn't sleep long.

Chatted with Yang Mi about the results of the audition last night. After breakfast, he went out to the pharmacy and bought a bottle of anti-fatigue eye drops. .

   When he came to the old man's house, he found that he was already awake.

   is sitting in front of the TV in the living room.

   "You woke up so early?"

  Zhang Yimou turned his head and glanced at him, and said:

   "Why are your eyes red?"

  Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, and tentatively replied:

   "Rejuvenated?"

   "..."

  Zhang Yimou ignored him, but stared straight at his self-defeating face.

   "Tsk... I stared at the TV for a long time last night."

  Xu Xin looked around:

   "Where's Sister Mo?"

   "Still sleeping... You came just in time, look at her."

  As Zhang Yimou spoke, he started rewinding the tape with the remote control.

   Soon, I came to a girl's camera.

   Click to play:

"Hello Director Xu Xin from the crew of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", my name is Ni Ni, I am 20 years old, I am 170 cm tall, and I have type AB blood. …Currently, I am a national second-level swimmer, and I have also won the JS Provincial International Ballroom Dance Championship. The following is my talent show~”

  After the girl finished talking nervously to the screen, some noisy dance music sounded from the TV.

  The 170-head, tall and long-legged girl stepped on the beat and danced a Latin dance.

   After about a minute or so, Zhang Yimou pressed the pause button:

"what do you think?"

   "..."

  Xu Xin didn't speak.

  After dripping eye drops with eye drops, he blinked and planned to continue reading.

   But the eye drops seemed a little irritating, making him squint his eyes.

   And the residue of eye drops on the eyelashes made him watch TV, that kind of blurred spots appeared.

   Subconsciously, he closed his eyes again.

   And after closing his eyes, in a blur of residual vision, a picture flashed in his mind... No, it's not appropriate to say the picture.

   It should be said to be an image.

  Slender eyebrows, red lips, and a slim figure wrapped in a cheongsam...

   "Zhao Yumo?"

   A sentence blurted out.

"oh?"

  Zhang Yimou's eyes lit up:

   "You also think she looks like Zhao Yumo?"

"Um."

  Xu Xin nodded, recalling the vague feeling in his mind, and said:

   "Beauty is in the bones, not in the skin. She is very similar to Zhao Yumo's description. She has a sense of style and arrogance. It's very good. Do you think so?"

"Um."

  Looking at the **** TV, Zhang Yimou nodded:

   "Indeed, her beauty lies in her bones, not in her flesh. She is very vivid... and she is also a student of Nanguang University, not someone without background."

  Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

   "I think it's okay, let her be on the list?"

"OK."

   Zhang Yimou took another careful look and said:

   "I also think it's a good seedling."

   "Then if you say that, I have to ask Yang Mi to contact you."

   "..."

  Hearing this, Zhang Yimou was speechless for a moment:

   "I co-authored another pot of food for you?"

  Xu Xin chuckled:

   "You gave it to me. If she is really good... how can I not eat it? Besides..."

  He was also staring at the girl named "Ni Ni", and nodded slightly unconsciously:

"Indeed, she has a high-end look on her body. She is suitable for heavy makeup. Don't look at her without makeup now, it looks a bit wide between the two browbones... But as long as the eyebrows can be drawn out, they will look good. This girl is really good, very It's amazing."

"Um."

  Xu Xin's words reached Zhang Yimou's heart.

but…

   "Don't touch her yet."

   "I know that. When you have found all the actors and started training, you must come here then, right? I'll just let Yang Mi get in touch."

"OK."

  Zhang Yimou nodded and continued to press the play button.

   This time, many people went to the working group in Nanjing.

  Even including some children from Nanjing who are studying in other places, Pang Liwei also asked people to collect as much as possible girls who fit the appearance description in the original "Jinling".

Heavy workload.

   But the advantage is that the old man knows many people.

   Moreover, although "The Hawthorn Tree" is a literary film, it has Xu Xin's name, which is much louder than other directors' literary films.

   What's more, the two are a "strong alliance".

  So schools all over the country are very cooperative.

  Just the audition tapes of "Jinling", I collected 12 tapes this month.

   But that's certainly not all.

   After all, there are so many people in Nanjing.

  But the audition time for "The Hawthorn Tree" is limited after all, and it will be delayed until the end of the year at the latest, so people have to be found.

   It seems that time is rich, but it is actually quite tight.

   Mainly because the old man was too persistent in his request.

  In order to present that painful scar, he insisted on using local Nanjing actors.

   Since he insisted, Xu Xin will accompany him.

  Otherwise what should I do...

  …

   "Mimi."

   "Hey, Sister Hua, tell me."

   "I have something to tell you."

   "Say it."

  Yang Mi is a little curious:

   "What's the matter?"

   "Do you still remember the game endorsement of "Fantasy Zhu Xian" that I got from you a few days ago?"

   "Well, what?"

   "Has Tang Ren contacted you?"

   "Tang people?"

  Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, and became interested:

   "No, why contact me?"

   "That's right. Didn't you let me participate? I didn't ask. However, someone took the initiative to find me a few days ago. Mr. Xie from Star City."

   "Star City?"

  Yang Mi was taken aback, and blurted out a sentence:

   "Huo Jianhua?"

  Star City is Huo Jianhua's agency.

   The one over there.

   It's not a big company, but Huo Jianhua came out.

   "Yes, the news I received from Mr. Xie was that the endorsement they were looking for this time was originally the original cast of "Sword and Sword III". However, Huo Jianhua was the first to be kicked out."

   "..."

  Yang Mi's mouth twitched.

   subconsciously asked:

   "Isn't it related to my refusal?"

"right."

   "..."

  Yang Mi was speechless for a moment, and said:

   "What do you mean? Can't do without me?"

"You can think of it this way. People are targeting Hu Chan and you. At first they wanted you and Hu Chan to speak for each other individually. Later, the Tang people tried to fight for Hu Jia, saying that they wanted to speak for the entire crew. In the end...you refused. You As soon as he refused, Tang Ren directly kicked Huo Jianhua out of the game, and Mr. Xie found me. He asked me if I want to cooperate, which means put Huo Jianhua with me, learn from Bingbing, and jointly establish a studio."

  For Huo Jianhua, Yang Mi doesn't care...although these words are very cold-blooded.

  But everyone's friendship is limited to one work.

  She is someone who has a partner and a husband, so is it possible that she also develops a blue-faced confidant?

  Then no fryer?

   What's more... Ever since her elder brother came to visit the set that night, she had been trying her best to distance herself from all the male members of the "Sword and Sword III" crew.

   Don’t dare to cause family discord because of a drama.

   It's so easy to catch a good husband, why make yourself uncomfortable?

  So, she really doesn't care much about Huo Jianhua.

   What she cares about is Liu Zhishi:

   "Sister Hua, what do you mean, Tang people still want to find me?...Why are they looking for me? Even Huo Jianhua has gone out."

"Because of the quotation. The people from Interstellar City approached me to cooperate, so I made some suggestions for "Fantasy Jade Dynasty". As a result, the news I found out was that with your quotation and without your quotation, it is completely a heaven and an underground. People are perfect. Not stupid... Tang Ren’s intention to push people is too obvious. They stuck Tang Ren’s neck in order to attract fans of the original novel "Zhu Xian" of "Fantasy Zhu Xian."

   "They have tasted the sweetness of the adaptation."

"Yes."

  Wang Jinghua was not surprised that Yang Mi could figure this out.

   This girl's brain...

  Ordinary people can't compare.

  Yang Mi thought for a while and said:

   "So, even if the people of Tang Dynasty offer a cabbage price, they still want to pay for "Fantasy Zhu Xian"?"

   "That's right. Besides, I've got the price list."

"How many?"

   "Excluding you and Huo Jianhua, Hu Jian, Liu Zhishi, and Tang Yan in "Sword and Sword III" add up to two million."

   "..."

  Hearing this, Yang Mi was silent, speechless, and even more headache.

   Her headache was not others, but Liu Zhishi.

  Perfect this trick, it's amazing.

   I am sure you are a Tang Dynasty fan who wants to eat "Zhu Xian", so I gave it a price that can really be called the price of cabbage.

  Not to mention anything else, just talking about Hu Jian, as a male and female protagonist, his price should be at least the same as your own, right?

   But now?

  Two million? ? ?

   And the rest of the people are really equivalent to giving away for nothing.

   No, it's not a free gift, it's simply a waste of money.

  Because the money is still pre-tax.

   Maybe the perfect person has to ask the Tang people for tax rebates.

  Thinking of this, she couldn't help asking:

   "Can the Tang people agree?"

"I don't know about that. That's why I asked Tangren if he was looking for you. After all, if you want to make money, the only way is to find you. If you don't look for you, it's only two million... Even if Tangren thinks it's worth it, it's not worth it. You have to ask Hu Jian what they think, are you right? Artists are human too, and they don’t make money to work for the company? It’s unrealistic. So, you are the solution to that dilemma~”

   "..."

  Yang Mi suddenly said dumbfounded:

   "So, after all, I was involved? What am I? I was shot while lying down?"

  The voice fell, and there were two "didi" sounds from the phone's microphone.

  Yang Mi turned on the hands-free, switched the screen to see...

   "Sister Hua."

"ah?"

   "Shishi sent me a message, asking why my phone has been busy."

"Well…"

   Ask for a monthly ticket, brothers! ! This chapter was written at 11:54, so I didn’t catch up with the update~ Read it first, I will start to check for typos.
