I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 452 450. The Rain Is Coming (31)

Xu Xin stayed in Shanghai for another two days, and after finishing his work the next afternoon, he returned to Yuan'an overnight.

Teacher Yu is here.

As a postgraduate tutor, she certainly wouldn't throw these students of hers into the crew and ignore them.

There were some things at school that I couldn't get away from before, but no, I came here after I was done with work.

Yu Zhen may not be familiar with other people in the crew, but Xu Xin and the old man are all acquaintances and "colleagues", so naturally they don't have such a special relationship.

When the director came back, the crew resumed work normally.

Everything went on in an orderly manner.

In the early morning, the crew prepared to show Jingqiu's rural life.

The story in the play is that she visited some villagers, listened to the heroic deeds of the hawthorn tree, and then came back to write textbooks.Then the third child walked into the room to talk to her, and found that Jingqiu's hands were covered with leaking ink from the pen, so he gave her a paragraph of a new pen.

Because of the flowering period, a large number of exterior and distant scenes of the crew have to wait for about half a month when the flowers are in full bloom, and they will focus on shooting in May.

Therefore, the play in Qinglong Village will take about half a month to end.

As the interns of the crew, Guo Fan and the others definitely don't have the same treatment as the director.

The director can get up at seven or eight o'clock, and slowly start shooting here at around nine o'clock, but as interns, they have to follow Fu Huadao and art designers, and set off from Yuan'an after five o'clock. More points here to start preparations.

Very hard.

But you can really learn something.

What's more, Teacher Yu will also come here today. In order to get a good resume recommendation letter after graduation, they dare not be sloppy.

It was almost nine o'clock.

The commercial vehicle came to Qinglong Village.

After parking outside the village, Xu Xin got out of the car first, and turned around to help Teacher Yu, who was wearing a set of outdoor clothes and looked like an outing.

After Yu Zhen got off the car, she naturally began to look around her surroundings.

From the mountain, to the water, to the bridge, and finally to the houses with smoke rising from every household and the undulating fields in the mountainous area.

After looking around, he nodded slightly:
"Not to mention, the imagery that belongs to the era is still very strong."

"Well. Let's go, I'll show you inside."

The two started walking into the village.

"Teacher Yu."

"Ah~ Teacher Yu, you are here."

"Hello, Teacher Yu."

When Wen Muye and the others saw Yu Zhen, they quickly said hello, but Yu Zhen didn't ask any more questions, and continued to circle around with Xu Xin after responding.

After watching all the filming scenes of the crew, the two finally stood on the half slope outside Captain Zhang's house in the play, and Yu Zhen said:
"The details are well controlled, Xu Xin. Not only the house and the yard, but even details such as window screens and door curtains have been considered. And I didn't see any drastic demolition of the house... Although to you It’s nothing to say, but I still want to praise you, you did a good job.”

"hey-hey."

Xu Xin looked a little proud with a cigarette in his mouth, with a look of "proud pinching his waist.JPG":

"That's right. You don't see whose student I am. With our teacher Yu here, a famous teacher produces a high-level apprentice, so how can I be poor?"

"……loquacious."

Yu Zhen couldn't laugh or cry.

But well.

A student who flatters a teacher is not considered a kiss.

She was really happy too.

At this time, she saw the crew walking into Captain Zhang's house with the equipment to be filmed for a while or using a cart, and there was her student named Guo Fan in the team, and she asked:
"How about their performance? What do you think?"

"Old Guo is more conscientious and down-to-earth. Wen Muye is smart and flexible, but sometimes his temper is too impetuous. One is slow and the other is fast. The slow one is a little slow to react to the surrounding things, but you can rest assured if you entrust him with the work.

Fast ones can draw inferences about other cases from one instance, and are good at optimizing things, but they are often not delicate enough.Among these brothers and sisters, these two are the best, without a doubt.But other people...maybe they haven't integrated in yet, they feel so-so. "

Hearing this, Yu Zhen nodded her head and made up her mind.

But I heard another sentence from my student:
"When the movie is released, I will give them the position of executive director. Just a few of them, listed separately, at the bottom of the director's area."

"!"

Now, Yu Zhen was really surprised.

The executive director refers to the sub-director who is responsible for the on-site shooting work in the film crew or under the name of the director.

To put it bluntly, it is the executor of the order.

This position is usually more common in crews with two or more directors. The two directors do the overall planning, and the executive directors each lead the order to complete.

To have an executive director on a one-director crew...is not normal.

But if there is one, no one will come to find fault.

But for some practitioners who are not yet famous and need resumes, the title of executive director is not small.

It means that you at least have the ability to independently complete the director's orders.

Not to mention anything else, even if you can't be a director, you have the experience of being an executive director, and after a few years in the crew, you are already qualified to be an assistant director.

Of course, this is also what movie you need to watch.

Being an executive director in "Hero" is definitely more powerful than being an executive director in an unknown "Bear" movie.

And "The Hawthorn Tree" is such a movie.

Its producer is Zhang Yimou.

The director is Xu Xin.

Just focus on these two names... As the saying goes, one person can ascend to heaven.

The weight of the executive director suddenly increased.

Some careful movie fans can actually find that compared with other ordinary movies, the staff list behind the scenes is to reflect the difference between the production company and the post-production company.

In Zhang Yimou's movie credit list, there are always the most names.

You can see a large number of names, some in front of the stage, some behind the scenes, and even the names and positions of chefs, box lunches, drivers, etc.So much so that sometimes it gives people the illusion that there are more staff in this movie than actors.

But in fact, this is the ability of great directors.

Some companies even lose a little money, but they still want to label themselves as great directors.

All names that can appear in Zhang Yimou's movies are equivalent to a golden resume. Using this resume to find a job is no different from getting an imperial decree.

It can easily make you a lot ahead of people at the same level and at the same level.

Even if your abilities are similar to others.

And the position of "Executive Director" given by Xu Xin is a golden medal to elevate the status of these people in all aspects.

Even if they haven't graduated yet, their starting point is much higher than others.

After all, how can a person who can be an executive director under Zhang Yimou and Xu Xin be an idiot?

So Yu Zhen sighed:
"What if it backfires?"

"It doesn't really matter."

Xu Xin smiled and shook his head:
"We are all brothers of the same sect. What's the point? Are you right?"

"That's right."

Yu Zhen rolled her eyes directly:
"If this news gets out, God knows how many people will sign up for me in the next class. Well, it will spread in the school in the future. If you take my class, you can go to your crew, and when you come out, you will be the executive director...you Are you not afraid that the executive director who will leave your crew in the future will be a bad street?"

"A bad street is better than nothing."

Xu Xin smiled even more happily:

"From a rational point of view, this is the kindness that the juniors give to the seniors. And in the future, it is the care that the seniors give to the juniors and sisters. It's about passing on the wind.

Postgraduate students are not playing games. Don’t everyone have to carry their things to see you during the holidays?Isn't it good... What's more, I heard from you, you have already decided that "The Hawthorn Tree" can be a success? "

Facing Xu Xin's particularly naughty virtue, Yu Zhen shook her head amusedly.

Actually...you don't have to.

She knew what the disciple meant.

Just like a disciple from a famous school has a bright future, a teacher also needs his own disciples to support his reputation.

The two sides are mutual.

If you can get into the "Yu Department", you can go to Director Xu's crew, and after you come out, the platform is higher than others...

This is the same as the so-called famous schools in ancient martial arts novels.

Disciples from famous sects have much greater resources and starting points than some pheasant sects.At the same time, it is precisely because of these disciples that the status of the sect master in the Jianghu can be steadily increased.

If you do this for a year or two, you may not be able to see anything, but five years, ten years, 20 years later...Leaving aside what will happen in the entertainment industry, in the academic world, I will definitely be among the top group of people .

The star mentor of the directing department.

The master of martial arts in academia...

The core members of the Olympic Games!

Good guy, there are some things that I didn't even plan, but the disciple has already planned for himself?
In a trance, Yu Zhen suddenly felt something.

she feels...

Perhaps the luckiest thing for me was that on that winter morning in January 2006, I came to school habitually, intending to finish the work that was not finished yesterday, but I met my "problem student", right?
……

After hearing the secretary's report, Cai Yinong frowned suddenly in the capital city:
"Tang Yan hasn't replied yet?"

"No. We have already contacted her, but the assistant answered the call, saying that Tang Yan is in the hospital. She has had chest tightness for the past two days, can't breathe, and has a feeling of convulsions in her heart for a long time. She is under observation in the hospital."

"..."

The corner of Cai Yinong's mouth twitched.

Tang Yan's heart is not good, she knows this.

As early as when I was in the crew of "Sword and Sword III", there was a scene where Tang Yan hangs on Wia.At the beginning, the crew didn't know that she was afraid of heights, but after the filming of the scene, everyone found out that she was crying.Only then did she say that she was afraid of heights.

For a while, the crew thought she was very hardworking.

But not long after, she covered her heart and said she was uncomfortable. The crew didn't dare to delay, so they hurriedly found someone to take her to the hospital for treatment, and found that her heart arrhythmia was indeed caused by mood swings.

But the problem is at this juncture...

On the 12th, "Weird Man Yizhimei" will be launched. If you are not hospitalized sooner or later, is it okay to finish the script first?

She was speechless, but still asked:
"Can't contact Tang Yan himself?"

The secretary shook his head:

"I've already asked, she needs a thorough heart check this time, and her family will be with her these days, so that she won't be disturbed by any external affairs. Even if we say that we only need to let her confirm it, the assistant is going to say After I accepted it, Tang Yan's family rejected it...and even felt very dissatisfied."

"..."

Now, Cai Yinong was completely speechless.

A heart problem is not a trivial matter, and it might be fatal.

She must understand to cut off all contact with the outside world and adjust her body and mind.

But the problem is...

Today is the 8th.

4 days left.

"Weird Man" is so hard to eat, is it possible to continue to wait?
An irritability began to brew in my heart.

But she didn't show it, but asked:

"Where is Ji Rujing? How did you say it?"

"After she said she was ill this time, she wasn't sure if Tang Yan would take this kind of martial arts scene again. After all, heart problems are not trivial, so she has to wait for Tang Yan to get the results and discuss with her. Don’t dare to promise us directly.”

"..."

The impeccable reason left Cai Yinong with no choice but to nod:

"Then... Let's talk to the crew of "Strange Man" in advance. The heroine of this play may be delayed for a few days. Let them shoot other things first."

"Okay, Mr. Cai."

The secretary responded.

But as a secretary, her job is not just an answering person.

So, she reminded Cai Yinong:
"But... Mr. Cai, in case Tang Yan's doctor says that her heart is not suitable for movement or work in the short term... then do we have to make preparations?"

"..."

One sentence asked Cai Yinong's heart.

It made her frown again.

moment……

"I'm thinking about this, you go out first."

"Ok."

The secretary left, but Cai Yinong's brows were never untied.

……

And just when she was troubled by the change of roles in "Strange Man", troubles followed Yu Zheng to find him.

"Mr. Yu, the people from Hunan Economic Satellite TV replied. They said..."The Big Maid" is indeed going to be changed, but the specific reason is decided by the headquarter, and they don't know why..."

"..."

Demon City Yuzheng Studio.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Yu Zheng's face darkened again.

Not sure why?
Why else...

He knew very well in his heart that these things happened because of himself...or because of "Gong Suo Xin Jade".

But in order to stabilize the morale of the army and prevent everyone in the studio from panicking, or to spread any unnecessary news and cause more trouble, he didn't tell anyone.

So he nodded:
"Okay, you go out first, I'll go and negotiate."

When the staff went out, he sat at his desk and cursed a little irritably:
"Fuck! Fuck!"

To say you are not irritable would be a lie.

Even after transferring the script to Tang Ren, he already guessed that his career might suffer some twists and turns and made preparations.

But when things happened, the irritability inevitably found him.

but……

Fortunately, it's just "The Big Maid".

The consequence of offending Tianyu was within his expectation and he could accept it.

Anyway, the money for "The Great Maid" has arrived.

Losing money is not enough, the big deal is not making money.

I have another hope, that is, after it was aired in March, the response was particularly enthusiastic, and seeing "Beauty's Scheming", which will bring a wave of ratings fame immediately after it hit the stars.

Thinking of this, although he felt better, the anger still burned his eyes.

It made his expression a little distorted.

But before the anger was released, suddenly, the phone rang again.

Seeing the caller, Yu Zheng was taken aback.

Moren.

The boss of Zijun Films, the investor of "Beauty's Scheming".

own most important partner.

Over the years, we have collaborated on many dramas, especially this "Beauty's Scheming". Both parties have full confidence in this drama.

It is a TV series that makes the cooperation between the two parties more and more close.

And since "Beauty's Scheming" started broadcasting on March 3, the steady increase in ratings also proves that these confidences are not groundless.

Seeing success is imminent.

But Mo Ren called himself at this juncture...

For no reason, an ominous premonition rose in Yu Zheng's heart.

"...Hello? Mr. Mo."

"Mr. Yu, the Shanghai TV drama channel has just announced the ratings of "Beauty's Scheming". Didn't it say that the feedback is very good, why is the rating not yet 1.4? With this kind of rating, the price of our stardom will be greatly increased." Lowered. What's going on here?"

"impossible!"

The moment he heard this, Yu Zheng subconsciously gave a rebuttal.

Although the ratings of "Beauty's Scheming" have not been released to the outside world, they got the data on the day of the premiere.

It started broadcasting at 1.37, and then continued to rise all the way.

Within the radiation range of the TV drama channel in Shanghai, it has already broken 3 in March.

Of course, these are not national ratings, but local ratings.

Normally, if the ratings of a new drama break above 5, it can be confirmed that it is a big hit drama, and then take these data to the major TV stations, and you can get a pretty good price.

But it broke three in the first week, and the plot is also steadily rising. How could it be less than 1.4 ratings! ?
It's not blind to open your eyes... Huh?

Suddenly, Yu Zheng seemed to realize something.

Is it...

Recalling that night, the chubby middle-aged man who only gave himself the word "go out".

Is it him! ?
"What's impossible? The data released by others can be false!? Yu Zong, this is not possible..."

Listening to Mo Ren's angry words on the phone, Yu Zheng didn't dare to refute, let alone say that the trouble might be caused by himself.

I can only quickly comfort the benefactor:

"Mr. Mo, don't worry. I'll ask again. Maybe they made a mistake in the statistics. I'll ask them to do the statistics again..."

Three points of comfort and seven points of flattery, so to speak, after appeasing Mo Ren first, Yu Zheng's eyes were already red after hanging up the phone.

At the same time, amidst the anger, there was suddenly a hint of bad feeling mixed in.

Dare to brazenly make a fuss about the ratings of "Beauty's Scheming"...

What is the identity of that middle-aged man?
Just thinking about it, suddenly the phone rang again.

Looking at the caller, he was taken aback.

Or Moren.

What's wrong with this?
He quickly suppressed his emotions and connected the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Mo."

"Mr. Yu... have you offended someone?"

As soon as Mo Ren's words came out, Yu Zheng was taken aback:
"What... what do you mean?"

"What do you mean?"

Moren asked back, his tone full of dissatisfaction:
"Just now, the people from Jiangsu TV called me just now. They had already negotiated everything, and they rejected the "Happy Mother-in-law and Pretty Daughter-in-law" that was short of signing the contract. They also left a sentence: Yu Zheng's play We can't accept... President Yu, what are you doing?"

"...????"

Yu Zheng was stunned for a moment.

A gust of wind that was about to come, just like that, blew in my heart.
