I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 145 143. The situation is not as good as before
In the end, Guo Caijie still did not change the song.

In order to show his generosity, Jay Chou "forced" her to finish the song.

But I have to admit...the voice of this girl and Sun Yanzi are really similar.

But compared with Sun Yanzi, there is less melancholy, but more cleanliness.

Just like a little girl.

After listening to the second song, Jay Chou was already interested and began to make a deep voice of "句~~".

Xu Xin still didn't understand what was going on, but after Guo Caijie was stunned, she also let out a "sentence~~~" but the tone was brighter than Jay Chou's.

Then, Jay Chou brightened up on Guo Caijie's foundation:
"Sentence~~~~"

"Sentence~~~~~~"

"Sentence~~~~~~~~"

"Sentence~~~~~~~~~~"

It wasn't until Xu Xin heard a falsetto "句~~~~~" that he realized belatedly that the two of them seemed to be testing whose voice was higher.

After the experiment was over, Jay Chou asked many questions.

For example, do you read notation, have you ever learned vocal music, etc.

The girl answered fluently.

Finally, he nodded:

"Danny, give her the phone. Today's matter is kept secret. I will have a lawyer contact you in the next few days and help you terminate the contract... Will you follow me?"

The moment Xu Xin heard these words, Xu Xin knew...

It became.

……

"Xu Xiansen! Thank you! Thank you for giving me this opportunity! Thank you!"

At the door, the girl with the guitar on her back bowed and thanked her with eyes full of gratitude.

She knew all too well what a change had taken place in her life.

It is also extremely clear who brought all this.

It was the mysterious person in front of him who gave him a second chance when he was standing still.

Girls don't know what to use to express their inner gratitude.

The only thing that can be done is this deep bow, expressing the simplest emotions.

"fine."

Xu Xin smiled and shook his head:
"Today's matter just needs to be kept secret, and then wait for the lawyer to contact you in the next two days to help you terminate the contract, remember?"

"……Um!"

"Okay, let's go back earlier, do I need to take you off?"

"No, no, no need."

"Well, okay...then go back and be careful."

"...Yes~"

The girl stared at him blankly, nodded, turned and left with the guitar on her back.

The door is closed.

As soon as Xu Xin turned around, he saw his girlfriend looking at him with a smile.

"……what's wrong?"

Yang Mi didn't speak first, but after looking him up and down, she said with a smile:

"It's okay. Star scout, do you want to dig me?"

"Dig you what?"

"Singing talent, I can sing too, okay?"

"Okay... let's go, let him write a song for you."

"Hee hee~"

……

In the middle of the night, everyone ate and drank, and all woke up.

They simply gathered in the living room to watch Wanwan's late-night TV series and chat.

There are three women in one drama, and the three get together and watch variety shows and gossip.

And Xu Xin was chatting with Jay Chou about the movie.

In two or three hours, everyone will leave for Taipei, where they will go to the Taipei Film Culture City to see the shooting scene in the interior studio.

And when I got up at 5 o'clock in the morning, it was almost 6 o'clock.

When everyone was about to leave, they suddenly found a person standing outside the door.

"...Sister Zeng!?"

Yang Mi was stunned, looking at Zeng Jia who was wrapped in a coat and standing outside the house, she looked surprised:
"Why are you here? How long have you been here, why didn't you notify me, it's so cold!"

"...I just came here not long ago."

Zeng Jia shook his head first:
"I got up late yesterday and didn't come with you, so I came here early today."

"Uh……"

Hearing her words, Yang Mi was both moved and guilty:
"Oh, why don't you call me directly next time? I didn't want you to wake up so early yesterday. I woke up early today..."

"..."

Zeng Jia also seemed a little speechless, but she didn't say much, and nodded directly:

"Hmm... are you leaving?"

"Yes, let's go to Taichung to see the interior site, and then fly back directly."

"it is good."

Zeng Jia nodded, glanced at Xu Xin and Jay Chou again, and got into the commercial vehicle together.

Dani was still driving, and Yang Mi and Zeng Jia sat behind.

As soon as I got in the car, Zeng Jia said:
"On Christmas Day, the company holds a Christmas reception. Everyone will come back. Remember to attend."

"what?"

Yang Mi quickly took out her phone to look through the calendar.

After discovering that Christmas Day happens to be Monday, I nod:
"Ok."

Since Christmas Day is Monday, the boyfriend must have to go to work.And what the two of them should spend Christmas is Sunday, Christmas Eve.

Just to be able to stagger.

I wrote down this incident in the notepad of my mobile phone, and after setting a reminder, the car returned to calm.

All the way from dawn to daylight, finally, everyone arrived at the Film Culture City in Taichung City.

It is said to be a cultural city, but its actual scale is far from that of Hengdian in the Mainland.

But Wanwan or Hong Kong and Taiwan movies are like this, because of the geographical area, they are not big.But... the movies in these two places set off the prosperity of the golden age of Asian movies.

But in the film and television city, because of the large number of tourists, Jay Chou made a special disguise, and a group of people got out of the car to watch.

There are actually not many secret scenes that can’t be said, one is Ye Xianglun’s home, the other is Lu Xiaoyu’s home, and the other is the old piano room and the venue for piano fighting and singing and dancing.

In total, there are only six or seven small rooms, all concentrated in a medium-sized studio that has been rented.

And the layout was also designed by Jay Chou according to his own memory and understanding after Xu Xin provided the cut-in angles of the sub-cameras.

At first glance, it has that kind of European classical style.

The studio is still being set up, but some big things, like the piano, are ready.

Everyone stayed here for a whole morning, and Xu Xin repeatedly communicated with the prop designer and others who rushed over. After finalizing many details, the time was almost up.

At the same time, they also waited for Dani's two friends who had been with Yang Mi all day yesterday.

They also came here with their suitcases, and this time they will go to Yanjing with them, so that the girls can immerse themselves in this "Wan Wan accent" and quickly master this kind of speaking skills and methods.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, after a brief farewell, Xu Xin agreed to meet next week, and the group set foot on the way home.

Still first class.

Still sitting apart.

It's just that this time it was even more exaggerated. Because of the addition of two newcomers, Xu Xin was simply squeezed out of sight.

The plane arrived in Shanghai around 6:[-] pm.

Then, Yang Mi and others left directly, but Xu Xin walked into the transfer room of the plane alone.

"Golden Armor" will be publicized in Hangzhou tomorrow, and he has to go back to work.

When he got home after 11:[-] p.m., Xu Xin called to report that he was safe, and then drove back home.After a comfortable sleep, Monday came and he started a new round of work.

……

Noon on September 12th.

Xu Xin rushed to Xiehe Hospital and saw Jay Chou lying motionless on the hospital bed in the private room.

"..."

He paused, but immediately returned to normal.

Looking at Jay Chou who was lying on the hospital bed and smiling at him, he said angrily:
"Let's go play ball?"

"..."

The original smile turned into embarrassment.

Ankylosing spondylitis.

Jay Chou's genetic disease.

There is no need to go into details about the illness, you just need to look at him lying on the special hospital bed, struggling to move, and you will know how terrible this illness is.

In the past few years, his disease has been well controlled.

But people... forget the pain when the scar is healed.

When Mingming was in Hengdian, before each game, Xu Xin could occasionally see him swallowing pills.

It is a special drug to prevent the recurrence of spinal inflammation.

But yesterday he went to play with his friends, and he didn't know whether he didn't take the medicine or he moved too much. This morning he felt a backache, so he quickly took the medicine.But I didn't expect that I was fine on the plane, and I was taken to the hospital directly after getting off the plane.

This disease is known as "undead cancer", and there is basically no possibility of cure.

Xu Xin had only heard about it from Jay Chou before, but now seeing his virtue of not being able to move everything from the neck down when he was ill, he still felt angry.

That's why I said that.

But looking at his embarrassing appearance, Xu Xin lost interest in continuing to tease him, and instead asked:

"What did the doctor say?"

"Hang on the water~ Don't worry, you'll be able to go on stage in half a day at most. Then go back to sleep tonight, and you'll be fine tomorrow. It's an old problem. I'm used to it over and over again."

"...Can you still be on stage today?"

Tonight at 8 o'clock is the premiere of "The Golden Armor in the City".

The kind broadcast live by Phoenix Satellite TV.

Many famous celebrities were invited, and even the host invited famous speakers such as He Jiong, Guo Degang, Wu Zhongxian, Tao Jingying from Movie Channel, Phoenix Satellite TV, and Hunan TV.

Moreover, because of the popularity of Wu Zhongxian and Guo Degang, the media is still hyping to see who is the "famous talker" between Guo Degang and Wu Zhongxian in the past two days.

The noise is bigger than the paper.

Except for Gong Li who was beaten to death and did not share the same stage with Zhang Weiping, and Zhou Renfa who was filming "Aunt's Postmodern Life" outside, all other actors and supporting roles appeared on the stage.Even from his girlfriend, Xu Xin knew that not only the big names were invited this time, but he invited Li Lianjie, who had been in Hollywood all the time, to come to the platform, using the popularity of "Hero" to create momentum.

It is not too much to say that a premiere is half of the entertainment industry.

Therefore, in this case, Jay Chou will definitely be on stage.

But knowing it all, when Xu Xin heard that he was going to take the stage, he still sighed helplessly:
"Oh... you still want to sing "Chrysanthemum Terrace"?"

"Sure."

"...Tsk."

Xu Xin, who didn't know what to say, glanced at his watch and nodded:
"Okay, where are you going to live tonight? Go to my place?"

"No, I have to come back after attending the premiere. I need to correct myself on this bed. I will go back tomorrow. I have to deal with Jewell's affairs."

"...tsk. I'm so busy~"

Hearing his emotion, Jay Chou smiled and asked back:
"Where's Mimi? Are you two coming together tonight?"

"Isn't this nonsense? If we show up together, then it won't be a frying pan? She went to try on the dress, and I have to go back to the Olympic Building in a while. Take care of her for me at night. Did you hear that there are a lot of people coming tonight, If she is confused, you should remind her."

"... Shall I remind her? It's fine if she doesn't remind me, okay?"

During this period of publicity contact, I have fully understood the opponent's state of ease when facing reporters... Jay Chou rolled his eyes speechlessly:

"Can't you see how much the media likes her? I still choke on some reporters' questions. The last time I was asked about Patty, she helped me out... Please, are you showing off your skills?" A talking girlfriend?"

"Yes..."

Xu Xin shrugged:

"But tonight there are not only the media, but also the so-called celebrities. You still have to pay attention."

"Well, leave it to me."

"Well... okay, then I'm leaving."

"……what?"

Although his neck couldn't move, Jay Chou still expressed his shock with a distorted expression on his face:

"Are you here for three minutes?"

"No way... I haven't eaten yet. After work, I knew you were in the hospital, so I hurried over here. Now I'm going to eat. After eating, it's almost time. I have to go back to work."

"...Please, can you be less sincere?"

"Aren't you paralyzed?"

Xu Xin rolled his eyes, and while Jay Chou gritted his teeth, "Thank you to your family", he waved to Dani:

"Call me anytime you need it, Dani, I'm leaving."

"Okay, Brother Xu."

Come like a gust of wind.

Go like a gust of wind.

Come here and ask about the cold and warm...that's too contrived.

……

4pm.

Yang Mi, who had already done her makeup, took Zeng Jia and Sun Ting, who was carrying two dresses, to Studio No. [-] of Yanjing Film Studio.

Tonight's premiere is here.

When she arrived here, the backstage was already busy.

Tonight's theme is to show the court atmosphere, so I found some extras to play the role of court ladies and eunuchs.

With Yang Mi's arrival, many extra performers who had nowhere to go and could only squat or sit in the corridor stood up nervously.

Seeing this, Yang Mi paused...

This scene...

She thought about it, and politely nodded to the group performers closest to her:

"Hi, thank you for your hard work."

"..."

Several group performers were taken aback.

Obviously did not expect that "Jiang Chan" would greet them.

It was a little cramped for a while.

But Yang Mi didn't give them a chance to think about it, and led the two of them to move on.

Walked all the way, said hello all the way, and finally came to the waiting room and walked in.

A group of male and female extras who looked at each other were left behind.

But Zeng Jia was thoughtful after entering the house.

Seeing this, Yang Mi asked curiously:

"Sister Zeng, what's the matter?"

"Mimi, do you remember that I mentioned a TV series called "Youth Going Go"?"

"Uh……"

Hearing Zeng Jia's words, Yang Mi thought for a while and said:
"I remember you mentioned that you wanted to sign an artist before, the actor here, right? I haven't seen it, but I remember you mentioned it."

"Correct."

Zeng Jia responded:
"My name is Cao Lei, and I played Populus euphratica in this drama. At that time, I stayed with him in the crew for a few days to show my sincerity...Unfortunately, we didn't sign the contract in the end."

"Hmm...why did you mention this all of a sudden? Isn't that play not released yet?"

"In the ensemble performances just now, I saw an actor named Shen Teng who played Chang Heping in that play at that time."

Zeng Jia showed a sighing expression of impermanence:

"Graduated from Jiefang Art Academy. It is said that he was also a school-level figure when he graduated. He had a good relationship with Cao Lei at the time, and the play was also very good. At that time, he said a few good words for me. But just now when these people I actually saw him here... oh."

This long sigh expressed the other party's feelings about why they were confused like this, or that the world was impermanent.

She shook her head slightly:
"I didn't expect that he could only act as an extra."

"Uh……"

Yang Mi blinked her eyes, she obviously didn't expect that there was such a story in the extras just now.

but……

"Sister Zeng, don't underestimate today's group performance."

Sitting on the sofa, the girl corrected her manager's thoughts:
"Today's ensemble cast is not something anyone can do if they want to. I heard from Xu Xin that these people also worked hard to get in. This is Director Zhang's movie, and it's the world premiere , there are so many celebrities, big names, directors, screenwriters, etc... The people who come tonight are not simple people. It is very rare for an actor to show his face under this kind of opportunity. I heard that they compete fiercely gone."

"Well……"

Zeng Jia was taken aback for a moment, and after careful consideration, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

But the truth is the truth... But seeing people who could play roles in the early years, they can only sit in the corridor as a group performer here... She is still full of emotion.

But at this moment, the girl suddenly said:
"Tingting, go out with a bottle of mineral water and give them a point."

"Uh……"

Sun Ting nodded quickly:
"Okay, ma'am."

Carefully hanging the dress aside, she walked to the two boxes of mineral water piled up in the corner of the waiting room, picked up one box and walked out.

Because she was the first crew member to come.

Everyone pays attention to the movement here.

As soon as the door opened, many extras stood up.And when they saw Sun Ting walking out with some difficulty carrying mineral water, they still didn't understand what was going on.

And Sun Ting took it out and walked a few steps, and came to some girls in the group, and said to the big guy:
"This is the water that Sister Mimi gave everyone. You have worked hard, so come and get it yourself."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The group of performers froze...

In his eyes, there was a more unexpected accident than the previous one.

And when he was hesitating whether to take it or not, Zeng Jia walked out.

Eyes locked on a person:

"Shen Teng, come drink some water."

She said.

"..."

Several male actors subconsciously looked at an actor standing in the back row for some reason.

The actor named Shen Teng showed embarrassment, but he came to the front step by step and said hello:

"Zeng Ji, long time no see."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he spoke with a little northeast accent.

The two are about the same age, so there is no such thing as brother or sister.

At least not yet...

"Ah."

Zeng Jia nodded, took off the plastic film of the mineral water, pulled out a bottle of water and handed it to him:

"What a coincidence to meet you here."

"……Ah ha ha."

Shen Teng still had embarrassment on his face.

Apparently...

Meeting at such a time proves that I am not doing well.

It's impossible not to be embarrassed.

And at this moment, suddenly, Sun Ting's eyes narrowed, and she quickly whispered to Zeng Jia:
"Sister Zeng, Director Zhang's first assistant is here."

Zeng Jia was taken aback, and looked at the entrance of the corridor with Shen Teng.

Sure enough, Assistant Shen was holding a document in his hand to read again, and while reading it, he lowered his head and walked this way.

Without thinking about it, Zeng Jia whispered:

"Notify Mimi."

"Ok."

Sun Ting hurried into the room, while Shen Teng retreated silently.

Zeng Jia didn't say anything, and Yang Mi had already left the house.

Originally, she planned to wait for Assistant Shen to walk in before she greeted with a smile, but who would have thought that Assistant Shen would not leave after walking in front of these extras, and asked directly:
"Which of you has better lines? Actors."

"..."

All the male actors were taken aback for a moment, and then an uncontrollable joy appeared on their faces:
"Director, I, I have acted in drama roles..."

"Me, me, director..."

"I……"

A group of people raised their hands in an instant.And Shen Teng, who walked next to Zeng Jia just now, subconsciously wanted to open his mouth...but just as he opened his mouth, he closed it again.

For one thing, he has lost his "position".

Secondly... Anyway, he is considered an acquaintance here, and in front of an acquaintance, he is so eager to fight...

Pride is really not allowed.

So I can only be silent with regret.

The actresses looked envious.

At this time, Yang Mi also came out, just in time to hear Assistant Shen's words.

Turning his head, he glanced at the group of male actors vying for the first place, and then his eyes fell on Shen Teng who was standing next to Zeng Jia.

Rolling my eyes...

"Director Shen~"

As soon as Assistant Shen raised his head and saw that it was Yang Mi, he was taken aback for a moment, then a friendly smile appeared on his face, and he walked over quickly:

"Mimi, why are you here so early?"

"Hey, I just came too."

"Well, what about Xiao Xu?"

"I didn't come, I'm still in the unit."

As long as the two of them don't tell the truth, these people don't know who "Xiao Xu" is, so they don't have any scruples.

Assistant Shen was a little surprised:
"Aren't you coming tonight?"

"Don't come, isn't it very busy over there?"

"Oh~~~"

Assistant Shen nodded, and then looked at Zeng Jia and Sun Ting.

Yang Mi also said just right:

"Zeng Jia, my manager, Sun Ting, my assistant."

"Hello, Director Shen."

Although he is only Zhang Yimou's assistant, Zeng Jia dare not neglect him.

Reach out quickly.

And Assistant Shen is also very face-saving, nodded with a smile, shook hands, and said:

"Okay, then you guys prepare first, I happen to have some work to find these group performers..."

"Director Shen, he is my senior brother, named Shen Teng. Like Director Zhang, he came from the Liberation Academy."

Before Assistant Shen finished speaking, Yang Mi suddenly pointed at Shen Teng.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Zeng Jia, Assistant Shen, and Shen Teng were all stunned.

After Shen Teng was stunned, it was replaced by surprise and gratitude.

As for Assistant Shen, he glanced at Shen Teng immediately.

Then he turned to Yang Mi and asked:

"Is...that Director Zhang?"

"Correct."

Yang Mi nodded.

The two completed the information exchange in an instant.

It didn't even point out which "Director Zhang" this "Director Zhang" was.

But Assistant Shen, who had already understood, nodded:
"That's it... come on, look here."

He handed the notebook to Shen Teng:
"You read this sentence, and I will listen to it."

"Hey, good~"

Shen Teng, who didn't have time to be in a complicated mood at the moment, looked at the process book handed over, and after taking it with both hands, the handwriting that said "opening" came into view.

After watching for about ten seconds, he suddenly coughed lightly:
"Cough cough."

Then, there was a high-pitched but very thin chant that sounded like a eunuch:

"Heaven~Earth~To Harmony!"

"Hengchang gets rich!!"

"Premiere! Screening! Open~~~Start~"

After reading, Assistant Shen nodded directly:

"Well, not bad...Then you come with me and go to make up. The premiere opens tonight, and you bring other people up first. After reading this line, it's the end. Do you understand?"

"!!!"

A trace of ecstasy flashed in Shen Teng's eyes, then nodded:
"understand!"

"Well... Mimi, let's go first. I'll take him to a makeup artist. Do you need anything here?"

"No, no, just guide Shen to go."

"Well, okay, let's talk later."

"Hey, alright~"

With a smile, he bid farewell to Assistant Shen who took Shen Teng away.

Looking at Sister Zeng's eyes full of surprise, deep thought, and a kind of... inexplicable light, the girl didn't speak, and went back to the waiting room directly.

And Zeng Jia and Sun Ting walked back to the waiting room together without saying a word after glancing at the group performers showing various emotions.

The door is closed.

As if she had done a trivial matter, the girl never mentioned what happened just now, but picked up her mobile phone, edited the matter into content, and sent it to her boyfriend.

She didn't know whether to use it or not.

But he took the wrong luggage for his boyfriend, and the subsequent dinner with Zhang Dao and Shang Dao.

She felt...Director Zhang Wu should have that strong friendship of nostalgia and caring for his subordinates.

And as a junior from the same academy...

Although she didn't know if her boyfriend would say it...but if there was a chance, then her boyfriend would have an extra chance to increase his favor.

Anyway, it's all about doing it smoothly and being safe with the situation.

One more word of mouth.

Maybe it will come in handy in the future.

Right?
