I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 678 675. Discovery
The two of them didn't expect that Lao Xu would get the inspiration for another work just by chatting.

On the one hand, it is emotion...

I feel that Lao Xu is really a person who should be born to eat this bowl of rice.

On the other hand...

It's envy.

Although Lin Xunxin himself is not a director, but an actor.But apart from his carefree temper, he is actually a very delicate person in acting.

Regardless of the handling of the role or the grasp of the mentality, he is not the kind of mediocre person without talent.

But it was precisely because of his talent that he could feel what kind of sensitivity Lao Xu's simple action represented.

A director must have a forward vision.

Because only when the eyes are ahead can the works be outstanding.

To be able to stand in the present, but become a master in the minds of a certain genre in the future, and even a whole generation.

Among his friends, he only saw this extreme talent in two people.

One, is the wheel.

One is Lao Xu.

Lao Lang can't say bad, after all, he is engaged in different fields.

But he himself is not so much leading the future as the best pianist living in the contemporary era.

Of course.

That being said, none of them are as good as Pharaoh.

Pharaoh's talent is also top-notch.

His money...will not be spent in the next life or even the next life.

In this respect, Pharaoh has led an era ahead of all of us.

Ok.

Sure enough, except me.

A little panic.

The first day in Korea came to an end amidst this panic.

Except for the fact that Xu Xin was labeled as "stealing socialist poker"...

Peace in the world.

……

The next few days were uneventful.

On March 3, "Guanyin Mountain" premiered in China.

However, after the box office came out on the 3rd day, the cold and ruthless market poured a lot of cold water on all those who had confidence in this movie.

With the cold 500 million box office, I told everyone:
"You are not Xu Xin."

Not all literary films can be like "The Hawthorn Tree", which is worthy of our flock to go to the cinema and contribute to its own box office.

It is also controlled at a budget of around 2000 million.

The 500 million "Guanyin Mountain" is like a weak and helpless child compared with the more than 4 million box office of "The Hawthorn".

Proved one thing.

Compared with commercial films, literary films are still a niche market.

Although the box office of 500 million on the first day means that "Guanyin Mountain" is destined to break 2000 million in the first week, and it is even expected to hit 3000 million.

but……

Again.

"Guanyin Mountain" is not "The Hawthorn Tree", and Li Yu is not Xu Xin.

What is incomparable is incomparable.

However, Liang Bingning's acting skills have indeed been recognized by everyone.

And the overall tone of this film has once again proved... Li Yu's sexual orientation may really be problematic.

This female director is too good at making lesbian movies.

But anyway, although it is no longer a problem for this film to make a small profit.But compared with the momentum before the release...not to mention foreshadowing, but using Liang Bingning as a model worker.

It's quite a bit of thunder and rain.

It also draws a line for all film practitioners who feel that the audience's acceptance of literary films has increased and they have discovered a brand new market to be seized.

Forced to stop their frenzied footsteps.

Don't worry.

How about...you think about it carefully?
Consider if your movie is The Hawthorn.

Or... Can you guys find the second Xu Xin?
……

"It's okay, sister, although the box office is not satisfactory, but your performance is remarkable. You deserve the title of Tokyo Best Actress. With this honor, no matter what movie you star in in the future, everyone will not be picky about your acting skills." Yes. Even literary films can make money, which shows that your market is infinitely good.”

"...I didn't say anything, why is it your turn to comfort me?"

"I'm not comforting you, I'm just telling the truth. Come on, you're the best."

"Haha, your mouth is so sweet~ You take good care of yourself in Korea. I heard from Mimi that you have been picky about the food there these days. Bear with it, the movie will be released tomorrow, and you will return home the day after tomorrow."

"Well, I see. Then I'll eat."

"Okay, let's go."

3 month 7 number.

on Monday.

Xu Xin sat in a local Chinese restaurant and put away his phone.

Then he continued to stir the sticky fried noodles in his bowl.

He really can't get used to those dishes made with sweet and sour chili sauce, so the places he chooses these days are all Chinese restaurants.

Only Chinese food can make him make do with it.

But Lin Xunxin was not very satisfied.

Every meal, he would complain:
"What the hell is sweet and sour pork... the meat is tender but not tender, the meat is wrapped in a pot but not the meat in a pot..."

Xu Xin is also used to it.

Just be patient.

At this moment, four people are sitting at a table on the second floor of the restaurant.

There is no one on the second floor of the entire restaurant.

Today's trip ended early, and it was only 5 o'clock at this moment.

It's not time for dinner yet.

In order to make these four less boring, the boss even turned on the TV on the second floor.

Xu Xin was busy stirring the noodles, when suddenly there was a loud noise from the TV.

Originally, everyone was eating with the sound of the TV, and it seemed that the second floor was not so empty.But at this moment, the sound of the TV suddenly became noisy, and Xu Xin and Liu Yifei, who were eating side by side, raised their heads at the same time.

Including Jin Meizhu, the four sat at a very ordinary long table.

As the two raised their heads, Lin Juxin continued to pick the fried rice in the bowl, but Jin Meizhu turned his head away.

Then I saw a noisy scene on the TV.

Xu Xin can barely recognize Korean variety artists, the new generation...that is, those Korean groups in the past two years, such as SJ, TVXQ, etc.But the memory of the older generation only stays in Liu Zaishi and that chubby Jiang Hudong.

But Liu Yifei seems to understand.

After seeing a few faces on the TV screen, he raised his eyebrows in surprise:

"Ah, Jin Jidong, Park Myungsu..."

"Who?"

Xu Xin, who had no appetite at first, asked suspiciously.

"Jin Jidong, he also served as the host during XMAN, Park Myung-soo, don't you remember? Ha Mingguo..."

"..."

Xu Xin showed a puzzled look.

Although he did feel that these people looked familiar, but if he really wanted to talk about the specifics... probably he would only remember it after looking back at XMAN.

At this time, Liu Yifei asked:

"Jin Translator, what program is this? "Infinite Challenge"?"

"Uh... not..."

Jin Meizhu glanced at the words on the upper left corner of the TV and said:

"The name of the variety show is "I Am a Singer"." (Note 1)

After finishing speaking, she read the content for a while, and said with some novelty:
"It's a brand new variety show with Yoon Do-hyun, Kim Momo, Lee So-ra..."

"Huh? Lee Sora? That Korean singer Lee Sora?"

Hearing Liu Yifei's words, Jin Meizhu's eyes lit up:
"Miss Liu knows Teacher Li Suluo?"

Liu Yifei nodded:

"Well, I know, I've heard her song, and it's quite nice."

The characteristics of Kim Mi-joo...or the Koreans I have come into contact with in recent days seem to have such characteristics.

Once I find out from the foreign population that they know something about Korea, I feel very bright on my face.

Then start bragging.

Xu Xin was not interested in this topic at first.

Not to mention Lin Xingxin.

But with Jin Meizhu's translation, the two of them gradually became fascinated by listening to it.

As for the reason, it is mainly the flow of the show.

In the words of Kim Mi-joo, that is:

"This program is looking for singers who have been in various periods of the Korean music scene, or who have had their own peak periods. They are invited to compete on the same stage, and then use a very cruel elimination system to select the "King of Songs".

The competition mechanism is very cruel.

Because each of these singers has their own fans, each song has a pivotal position in the hearts of Koreans.They are all musical seniors.Usually when participating in the show, other singers must maintain a lot of respect.But now it's too cruel to put seven people together for a match..."

Good guy.

Raising Gu?

So, during the conversation between Kim Mi-joo and Liu Yifei, Xu Xin asked some information about the singer.

Well……

What to say.

It seems that these people's status in the Korean music industry is not low.

Although it's not easy to compare with the status of some singers in the Celestial Dynasty, these people are indeed quite famous.

Xu Xin became interested.

After barely finishing a serving of Jajangmyeon, those people's performances on the TV show were about to begin.

The first one to come on stage was Li Suluo, who Liu Yifei sang very well.

Although I don't know what people are singing...

But as far as the melody is concerned, Xu Xin thinks it's not bad.

After Li Suluo, it was the buddy who played rock and roll.

Interspersed with some interviews and the like.

And the most familiar one here, or the only one Xu Xin has ever heard, is the song by Bai Zhiying.

He can't remember the name, but he can hum.

Because this song was often played on Yang Mi's computer before.

He was reminded by Jin Meizhu that he remembered that the song was called "Like Being Shot".

And when all seven songs were sung, everyone had been sitting in the Chinese restaurant for an hour.

Xu Xin as the "BOSS" did not say he was going, and no one could mention it.

And Xu Xin wanted to see who would be eliminated.

Then after the audience voted, the final result came out.

The female singer named Park Jung Hyun had the lowest number of votes, only 10%.

Xu Xin thought she was going to be eliminated, but in the end there was a song selection session or something.

To get these singers to sing other people's songs seems to be a round of competition.

That is, the double-tailed elimination system?
Finally, after an hour and 30 minutes, the show ended.

"Let's go?"

Xu Xin finally spoke.

On the way back, he asked Jin Meizhu:
"Jin Translator, what TV station program is this?"

Kim Mi-joo was taken aback for a moment, and then said:

"It's MBC."

"Oh~"

Xu Xin nodded thoughtfully.

When he returned to Lotte Hotel, he wrote down this information.

But I didn't think much about it for the time being, but continued to work with my laptop.

At noon on March 3, the premiere of "The Hawthorn Tree" began.

Audio-Technica was invited to the premiere.

Went to several cinemas to interact with the audience.

Then on the morning of the 9th, he received a message from NEW.

On March 3th, it lasted half a day, and the premiere attendance was 8.

What about this data...

still alright.

"The Untold Secret" had a premiere attendance of 7.

"The Hawthorn Tree" is [-] less.

But compared to other movies, it can also be said to be the champion.

But this data cannot be converted into box office.

Otherwise, there is really not much money.

But if this trend continues, the people at NEW are still confident that they can match the record of 24 people when "The Unspeakable Secret" was released.

Don't look at the small number of people.

Because of the market base, the conversion units are different from those in China.

The first is to distinguish between "art cinema" and "commercial cinema".

Although they are all in the same movie theater, the emphasis seems to be different.

But there is a ratio, saying that 1 art theaters are equivalent to 100 million commercial films.

When "The Unspeakable Secret" was released in South Korea in 07, it was the first film in South Korea to have more than 10 viewers after the millennium.

In the end, it came to the "mythical level" record of 24 people.

Up to now, no one has broken the record after the millennium.

As for before the millennium, it was the horror era when the whole of Asia was shrouded in Xiangjiang movies. The movies of Cheng Long and Fa Ge with 30+ or ​​40 people are too far away for the current Chinese movies. up.

Brackets: In mainland Korea.

So, set aside the fact that the box office was lackluster.

The box office record under the concept of Koreans secretly changing, "The Hawthorn Tree" still gave a qualified answer.

With this perfect answer sheet in NEW's heart, everyone embarked on the journey back to China.

Before the plane took off, Xu Xin finally found the Chinese translation resource of "I Am a Singer" on the Korean variety show website given by Lin Juxin.

Have to admit, the speed is really fast.

The Korean Wave has become a storm in Asia, and there are many Korean subtitle groups in China.

In order to compete for traffic and advertising influence, the translation speed they give is quite fast.

In addition, South Korea's internet speed is notoriously fast. It is not clear whether it is a crime to download Korean entertainment resources from China in South Korea.

Anyway, the speed of a file with a size of more than 1 G is really impressive.

And the movie was downloaded well, and the plane took off.

Xu Xin put on his earphones and began to watch the variety show "I Am a Singer" from beginning to end.

He has already heard the song and the result.

So this time I'm mainly watching the show format.

After more than an hour, after watching the program, he paused the broadcast.

lost in thought.

After pondering for about 5 minutes, he began to write the email by hand.

First upload the seed as an attachment, and then write in the email:
"The format of the program is very novel. The specific points are as follows. First, this seemingly cruel competition method can easily arouse the audience's curiosity. Second, the agent system makes the program more interesting. Third... "

When he has completely written his opinion, he starts a new line at the end.

After thinking about it, I wrote:

"I think it can be moved to China. But it is forbidden to copy it privately. After studying the feasibility, you can go to South Korea's MBC TV station to buy the copyright."

ending.

Then I found a few people in the QQ group who had the note of "Tian Lai" and sent them at the same time.

He liked the show very much.

It shouldn't be bad to move to China.

tentatively……

This can be regarded as the second harvest of the Korean market.

As for the first harvest...

He glanced at his inbox.

Sure enough, the girl also changed her mind.

Obviously when she had some ideas back then, when she recorded them by email and sent them to her, she would reply seriously.

For example, "This is good", "This is interesting", "Brother, you are awesome" and so on.

It's comfortable to hold our old Xu.

But now...

If she can reply to one out of ten emails, it's considered a high profile for herself.

And at this moment, several emails he sent got replies:

【Okay, Director Xu, I'll download it and watch it right now.Communicate with you after reading. 】

[Received, Director Xu has worked hard.After reading it, I will write a report for you]

[Understood, let's go and see, you have worked hard. 】

Look at people!

Surnamed Yang.

see you again!

Pooh!
Scumbag!

……

Landed in the magic capital at noon.

Into the customs.

He was in no hurry to leave.

Although he and Lin Gou and Liu Yifei disbanded after leaving the airport, he wanted to go against the wind.

Compared with the two or three cats and dogs in the past, today's headwind has added many employees.

And the office building has also become two floors.

The upper layer is the headwind, and the lower layer is the cloud map.

He saw Xu Zhi in Yuntu's office.

There is nothing nonsense when the two brothers meet.

Xu Zhi directly handed over a document.

That's two share books.

One is Xu Zheng, and the other is Ning Hao.

Obviously, the two brothers moved very fast.

Or in other words, very "knowledge of current affairs".

In Xu Zheng's studio, Yuntu holds 45% of the shares.

Ning Hao's studio holds 40% of the shares.

After looking at the two proposals, he asked:
"Why did Ning Hao move so fast this time?"

"Can it be done quickly? Shanghai Film Studio is very dissatisfied with his guest appearance in "Carry Love to the End". He was almost scared to death, especially after the establishment of Yuntu, he has seen the situation clearly. It means that the resources here are completely cut off. But joining us, we will not restrict his freedom too much. He is smart, and he came with Xu Zheng. And then he has to leave the script of "Golden Robbery" .It is estimated that I want to borrow flowers to offer Buddha..."

Xu Xin nodded slightly:

"Where's Huang Bo?"

"Come on. Ah, no matter what, he is in the lower position in their iron triangle. If you can run away from the monk, you can't run away from the temple. Don't worry."

"Okay. I'll go to the factory in a few days to see Yang Ying and other things..."

Speaking of this, Xu Xin paused, and then realized something was wrong.

"What's going on with Wenzhang? He's been working hard to get along with you these past few years, why is there nothing going on this time?"

"There is movement, but...the answer I gave was vague."

"Ambiguous?...Why?"

"because……"

Xu Zhi paused.

Turning around, he picked up a pack of cigarettes from the table, threw one to Xu Xin, and lit it on his own.

Through the smoke, he let out a long sigh:
"I'm afraid if I want him, the whole pot of soup will be ruined."

"...?"

Looking at Xu Xin's puzzled eyes, Xu Zhi said slowly:
"A few days ago, he invited me to have a meal. No one else, not even an assistant. Just three people..."

"Ma Yili also meant that?"

Xu Xin said subconsciously.

But Xu Zhi shook his head again:

"The mistake is that his leader is not Ma Yili."

"...Who?"

"Yao Di."

"...?"

Xu Xin was taken aback:
"The "Naked Marriage"...?"

"Yep."

"..."

He frowned slightly.

Looking at Fa Xiao's attitude, I can more or less understand the meaning.

only……

"They have an unusual relationship? What did you see?"

"No, I saw it. He wanted Yuntu to sign Yao Di...Ah, in fact, everyone has known each other for a long time. We met a few times last year...Maybe it's overthinking. But, Sanjin, you Think about it... Suppose, you and Yang Mi are married, but when you go out to dinner with me, you always bring Liu Yifei..."

"Don't talk nonsense! I don't have me, but I dare not! My wife and I are on good terms! Let her hear this, and she can throw you into the Huangpu River..."

Xu Xin hurriedly got a set of quality three times in a row.

Even the true nature of internal fear was "exposed".

But Xu Zhi was not surprised.

among other things...

The geese of the second uncle's family...

That's Xujiawan's tyrant.

Don't talk about three golds.

Who among these children grew up being chased by geese with "DEI"?

Those geese really have mastered the skills of how to dominate Xujiawan since their ancestors.

Who is not afraid?
Xu Zhi still remembers how painful it was to be bitten by a goose.

It can be seen that seeing his own sister-in-law is like a grandson seeing his grandfather.

Having grown up so big, Xu Zhi has never seen anyone who can scare a big goose from laying eggs, and tremble all over when he sees it.

So, don't say that Xu Xin is afraid.

He is also afraid.

That auntie... is really not a good person.

I'm afraid it's normal.

I'm not afraid of being a ghost.

So he just waved his hand:
"It's a metaphor. Metaphor, do you know? If you are with Yang Mi, the person you bring out every day is Liu Yifei. You lead Liu Yifei to meet friends and relationships, and occasionally bring food to Liu Yifei... What about you?" , if your friend wants to do this, what would you think?"

"I'll make an offer he can't refuse."

"..."

Xu Zhi was speechless.

Good guy.

Godfather Xu Jiawan, right?
Of course, Xu Xin was also joking.

After finishing speaking, he frowned:

"You mean, they have an affair?"

"It's not just one leg, it's probably a lot of legs. Think about it, if you were just ordinary friends, you two would always talk about things like honey when you dine together? But since the first time you dined with them Until the first two days, I haven't heard anything about "Ma Yili". Tell me, is this normal?"

"..."

Seeing Xu Xin's frown tightened, Xu Zhi shook his head:

"So, I don't want him to come. The old man taught me that there is no airtight wall in the world. What he does, that's his business. But if Yuntu really invested in him, your "33 As long as the "Heaven" is popular, it will definitely add fuel to the fire and give him resources. But if something happens... Isn't the hard work in vain? So, instead of doing this, it's better not to do it. Yuntu has no shortage of people..."

"Then you plan to..."

"Procrastinate. Procrastinate until he understands that he doesn't want to sign him. Then take the initiative to go far~ The farther the better~ Anyway, I won't give him anything, and I can't bear that responsibility. As for whether he will go to the Beijing circle... "

"It's better not to go, it's better to go."

Xu Xin said something thoughtlessly.

But Xu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and after understanding the meaning of Xu Xin's words, he nodded:
"Yeah."

"..."

He didn't go on.

Xu Xin didn't answer either.

only……

The two friends who had played since they were young, understood each other's thoughts by coincidence after talking to this point.

only……

Neither of them said anything.

Are you waiting to see the excitement?

Or take the initiative to light the fuse?
Even if an outsider is present, it may be difficult to understand its meaning.
