I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 249 247 Female Killer

Chapter 249 247. Female Killer

Sichuan restaurant.

"I've seen your information. You debuted as a singer, right? The song is quite popular. Have you been received by the governor of the United States?"

"Brother Xu, have you heard of my album?"

"without."

"Its sales were very poor, less than 10,000 copies. But with the operation at home, I won the award. I had never learned to sing, and the album only had three songs, and they were not good."

"..."

"To be received by the governor, you only need to donate about 70,000 to 80,000 US dollars to a foundation under his name. Not many people in the country know about it, but he looks very powerful. In fact, there were people at that reception More than 40 people lined up to take a photo. It was equivalent to buying a photo."

"Well……"

…

"Mimi, is there still a shortage of female characters in "The Wind"?"

"Ah? Yifei...if it were anyone else, I would definitely not say it. Because Xu Xin didn't let me say it, but I won't hide it from you. In fact, except for Li Ningyu and Gu Xiaomeng, all the female characters in this drama are They are some roles that have no role and are not suitable for you."

"I... don't care about the size of the role."

"Well……"

"Mimi...are you worried that my incident will affect this movie?"

"That's the case. But I can't promise you, after all, Xu Xin is not here today. I can only go back and ask for you, okay?"

"Well! I really don't care about the size of the role, and... don't be afraid of what impact I will have."

"I'm not afraid. We are friends. If you need help, isn't it right for me to help you? But I still say the same thing. You have also seen Xu Xin making a movie. That time we were in "Golden Armor" and you came to visit the class. At that time, the scene he was filming was actually a scene he re-shot for Director Zhang. Because he felt that it would be better if he handled the scene this way. After convincing Director Zhang, Director Zhang asked him to re-shoot it.

He has his own pursuit of movies, and he will become particularly strict when encountering this aspect. I can only ask for you, but I can't promise you anything. But I will definitely ask for you, Yifei, don’t worry. We are friends and I know your character. Even if something happens, I believe it was definitely not your intention. I understand. "

"..."

"Oh, why are your eyes red..."

"No...it's okay. Have a drink and cheers."

…

"Brother Xu, my management team thinks this movie is very important to me, but I have vaguely mentioned our relationship with them, so don't worry."

"Well……"

"If possible, I would rather go with a learning attitude, okay? I still have self-awareness..."

"..."

…

"I just said that we did something wrong and shouldn't be like this. I said that from today on, I have to fight for the role on my own. I don't want to live under your protection."

"..."

"Then we had a big fight... It happened that my father came back to China for a vacation, and I stayed at my father's place during this time."

"...Has Aunt Liu been in contact with you?"

"No, neither of us will talk to each other in the future."

"..."

"You don't believe it? I keep my word! From now on, I have to fight on my own!"

"...but your contract is still there...where is Mr. Chen?"

"I will ask my godfather to terminate the contract."

"..."

…

"Uncle, I will go and talk to you so that Uncle Xu and my uncle can live well. Brother Xu, do you think this is okay?"

"..."

…

"Mimi, can you tell me when the audition will start?"

"..."

…

It's almost 10 o'clock in the evening.

When Yang Mi, whose cheeks were a little red, returned home, she had a look of despair on her face.

But she saw her fiancé, who was more desperate than she was, lying on the recliner, looking straight at her.

"..."

The two just looked at each other for a while...

Yang Mi suddenly shook her head:

"I'm not interested tonight."

"What a coincidence, I'm not interested either."

"My outlook was shattered by what Aunt Liu did..."

"By coincidence, I also met an interesting girl who can break my facial features."

"...? So exaggerated?"

"Well, do you know what Jing Tian said to me when I asked her if she really wanted to act in "The Wind"? She asked me: Can I not act?"

"Um????"

Yang Mi was in a daze for a while, but after thinking about it, she said:

"Liu Yifei and her mother had a big quarrel, and they wanted to sever the relationship between mother and child... Oh no, she unilaterally decided to sever the relationship between mother and child. And there seems to be something wrong with Black and White Impermanence..."

"Um????"

"..."

The young couple suddenly discovered.

The meal that everyone had separately in the evening seemed to have a topic that aroused their interest.

then……

"Elaborate?"

"Pour the tea."

"Hiccup..."

After a sound of seats moving, Xu Xin sat in front of the tea table and started to boil water, while Yang Mi sat opposite him and began to sigh.

"well……"

Then, when she saw her fiancé lighting up a cigarette, she took one out of the cigarette case and deliberately imitated Xu Xin's action of holding a cigarette without lighting it.

Instead, he held his cigarette and continued:

"Liu Yifei's attitude is actually very simple. She asked me for various characters in "The Wind". I thought about it and sent her a script. I told her that apart from Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu, I only There is only one character left, a female assassin who was caught assassinating a traitor and was tortured at the beginning. She still has a bit of a role, but the rest is gone."

"..."

"I thought she would dislike him and give up the idea. But she didn't...According to her words, she wanted to terminate the contract with Chen Jinfei and start to enter the industry on her own..."

"..."

"So, I don't dislike any role because she has to start from scratch."

"..."

"Then I asked what was going on, and she told me why she chose Huayi. It was similar to what Huang Xiaoming said, even Aunt Liu and his godfather didn't regard Huayi as a meal at the beginning. She felt that she Huayi is "condescending".

Later, I felt that both Jet Li and Cheng Long's movies could be made like this. In addition, after the release, she was scolded by the entire Internet for her role as "Golden Swallow". Aunt Liu felt that Huayi was incompetent, incompetent, and had a small plate... Her daughter is simply showing off her talent here.

Anyway, it didn't turn out well after joining the Tang Dynasty. In addition, Chen Jinfei and the bearded Zhang Jizhong had a good relationship with each other. There was no need to worry about running out of scenes in the future, so Hua Yi was cast aside.

As a result, Huayi also got angry. In the future, any of Huayi's artists would not cooperate with her movie. For the role she is suitable for, Huayi can choose to take the role at a reduced salary... In short, it's just a fight.

But it didn't work out later because her father found someone to talk to... Huayi finally eliminated this issue and no longer targeted her. But she has violated an industry taboo. Unless some new company comes up and chooses her as a pillar, almost no one will dare to continue using her.

That’s why I want to join the Hong Kong circle.

But the problem is that the Hong Kong circle now also has to look at the mainland, so there are only some companies that want to make quick money by using the fame of idols. For example, collaborate with a popular singer or idol to make a low-cost movie to make money. But people also have requirements, which is to stir up scandals with these artists and heat up the public. But Aunt Liu thought that this would affect her daughter's future, so she rejected it again.

Then Chen Jinfei now wants her to go back to filming TV series, but the domestic circle will not use her. Huayi's side has died down, but in order to maintain dignity, this is a secret thing. On the surface, everyone thinks they are watching. . So...she is very embarrassed now and urgently needs a place to stand. "

After speaking, she shook her head:

"She was so well protected... Do you know what she said to me at the dinner table? She said that she finally understood the warmth and warmth of people in this circle. In the past, when she was good, these people didn't dare to make these requests. But now, as an actress, she is asked not to rely on her works to speak for herself, but to speculate on scandals first..."

"..."

"Actually, these are common things we are used to. The feeling she gives me... is just like when I was in high school, you know? She is still a little naive... and she also talks about severing the mother-daughter relationship with Aunt Liu? How is that possible? There is no such thing in the law. How can it be broken? Her father is also married for the second time!"

"I don't care much about these. I would like to ask you to tell the story of black and white and impermanence in detail..."

"Don't ask me, I get goosebumps just thinking about it."

"..."

In Xu Xin's speechless eyes, where he couldn't laugh or cry, after finishing talking about the central content of tonight's party and forcibly ignoring some stories that were at least 10,000 words apart, Yang Mi added another one:

"So, after a few days of auditions, I can't even imagine the expressions of the people who wanted to audition for the unknown female killer when they saw her appear on the scene."

"...Then don't let her show up."

"???"

Yang Mi was stunned.

But Xu Xin shook his head slightly and said:

"Just communicate with her. It's okay to come to the audition if you want. Come and start whenever you want. She doesn't have to wait there like other actors. She will leave after the audition. Then it will be kept secret. For the sake of face... I still What can be given to her..."

Yang Mi felt relieved and responded with a smile:

"Well. What about you? What's going on with Jing Tian?"

When Xu Xin mentioned this, he smiled:

"This girl... is quite interesting. The world is sober."

"How to sober up?"

"She told me that she didn't want to act in my movie because she read the original work and couldn't stand it until the second chapter, which didn't appeal to her. But she had to act because our dad and her We have cooperation with her family. If she doesn’t act, it’s hard to say whether the business will be successful. But as long as she acts, then our dad and her family’s business will definitely go smoothly.”

"……Yo?"

Yang Mi showed a surprised expression.

"Then what?"

"He also said that her management team also hopes that she can appear and get a heavyweight role."

"..."

"And the company she signed with was established specifically for her. The entire team's requirement is that the leading role must not be played, and the role must not be repeated. The person who can play the role must at least be an actor..."

"...???????"

Yang Mi was stunned.

He subconsciously said:

"Isn't she afraid that she'll be blown away to pieces?"

"Who knows."

Xu Xin shrugged.

"But the problem is that when we meet for the first time, how can I have a heart-to-heart relationship with her? She has her own strategies, and it's definitely not appropriate for you as an outsider to point fingers. So I can't say it directly... If there is a chance in the future, I'll talk there soon. If she has suffered a loss, or her family comes to ask me, I might say it. But if she doesn't speak, I can't speak these words."

"Well……"

Holding the tea cup, Yang Mi thought for a moment and nodded:

"Then don't say anything first. I'll keep an eye on her."

"……what are you up to?"

Xu Xin was a little puzzled, but saw a meaningful look on his fiancée's face that was somewhat similar to his father's:

"This matter is done well, it's just a matter of personal preference. But... I have to ask Uncle Xu to cooperate with me when the time comes."

Good guy, as soon as this expression came out, Xu Xin almost shouted "Dad".

His eyes suddenly became weird.

Yang Mi didn't think much and continued to ask:

"Then what? How do you plan to arrange it?"

"When the time comes... let's add a character. I was thinking about this just now, adding a role like a guide. The background setting of that place was changed by the Japanese into a palace specially for receiving high-ranking officials. I'll add a waiter. For example, the messenger. There are frontal shots, and there are also some over-the-top roles such as a few lines."

"Hmm... suitable. There must be servants in the palace."

"Yes, that's what I'm thinking about."

Holding the tea cup in his hand, Xu Xin fell into a state of contemplation again after saying this.

Yang Mi silently drank a pot of tea, then got up and walked directly to the bedroom.

The two people's "working status" at the moment is different.

So it's better to separate.

Take a shower, remove makeup, and skin care.

It's almost 12 o'clock in the evening, and it's time to go to bed.

Suddenly, the bedroom door was opened.

Yang Mi stuck her head out:

"Hey, young man."

"...?"

Xu Xin came back to his senses and looked over.

Then I heard something:

"Auntie bought a new pair of these..."

As she spoke, two more white threads appeared on "Auntie's" hand.

She also tugged.

Full of stretch.

Then, she tilted her head:

"Young man, do you have any ideas?"

"..."

Xu Xin narrowed his eyes and was silent for a while, then said:

"Sounds pretty good..."

"It looks better. Hurry up and get inside."

"Okay, Auntie."

Xu Xin turned off the light in the living room with a bang.

People are forgetful.

What I said just now, "I'm not interested tonight", I have long forgotten about my grandma's house.

…

November 20th.

Xiying Group’s office in Beijing included Xu Xin, Li Pingdong, Qi Lei, Guo Zhengyi, including the crew’s deputy director, Li Haiping, who was directly assigned by Xiying Group.

A total of about ten people sat in the small audition hall on the third floor.

Today is the day when auditions begin. Except for Li Ningyu, all characters including Gu Xiaomeng will have their auditions completed today and tomorrow.

Choose first.

I can't find the right one, so I'm looking for it.

When a few people arrived in the corridor, they already saw many people sitting in the two halls next door that were filled with waiting seats.

Among them are some faces that you can often see on TV...but you can't necessarily call them by name.

There are even some people who can be named, they are all there.

They are all actors, there is no artist team or anything.

The assistants from the artist team are waiting downstairs.

Can't come up.

After more than a dozen people sat in two rows, front and back, Xu Xin first checked the scripts in front of him.

Whether it’s Takeda, villains like Wang Tianxiang and Commander Zhang, or the Five, the cleaners, etc., everyone has one or two scripts.

Used for auditioning for a while.

There is a camera next to it and a 29-inch LCD screen next to it.

After a while, the audition footage will also be broadcast here, so that the director team can see the performance from two different angles, both live and camera.

Everyone was seated, and Qi Lei, as the "host", nodded to the staff:

"Let everyone get ready. The audition will begin in ten minutes."

These ten minutes are used to allow actors to clear their minds and enter the performance state.

After the staff left, Xu Xin sat behind the table and looked at the actor information for today's half of the audition.

Look at them one by one.

Soon, ten minutes flew by.

Qi Lei asked:

"Director Xu, do you want to start?"

"Um."

Following Xu Xin's response, Qi Lei nodded to the staff.

About a minute later, the door was opened and a girl walked in.

She looked quite nervous, especially when she saw the people in the two rows before and after her, and she swallowed unconsciously.

After walking stiffly to the place where the cross tape was stuck on the ground, she glanced at all the "examiners", including Xu Xin, who faced her with silence and scrutiny, and bowed:

"Hello directors, I am Wang Xiaochen, I am 20 years old this year. I graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy. I am 167 cm tall and weigh 43 kg. I am auditioning for the role of "Gu Xiaomeng" in this work."

"..."

As soon as she spoke these words, she was almost sentenced to death.

Because everyone knew that Gu Xiaomeng was left to Yang Mi.

But why say almost.

The reason is the possibility of the "female killer" character.

Because both characters had a torture scene at the same time, the role of the female killer was not revealed at all. Instead, she was asked to try out the torture scene of "Gu Xiaomeng".

If Xu Xin thinks it's okay, then just contact him.

At that time, you can also give a "friendly guest" title to improve your status.

However, the people present were all veterans, so it was naturally impossible for them to show anything strange on the surface.

After Li Haiping heard her self-introduction, he nodded to one of the two stage managers next to him who was responsible for picking up the play today.

One of the stage managers said:

"The following is an excerpt of Gu Xiaomeng being interrogated. Gu Xiaomeng's body was smeared with spices from Ceylon by Wang Tianxiang. It was the favorite smell of a dog named "Banniu". It began to bite and gnaw Your body. You have one minute to prepare. Please bring your own props."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaochen glanced at a few stools piled in the corner, and did not choose to get them. Instead, he took a deep breath...

Xu Xin nodded secretly.

Well, not bad, I adjusted my mood pretty quickly.

But this glimmer of appreciation disappeared without a trace a minute later.

"ah!!!!!"

Listening to the piercing scream, Xu Xin had a speechless look on his face.

The girl in front of her looked like Jesus was tied to the cross. Her arms were raised straight, and the only movements she made were screaming and shaking her head.

She wanted to show that she was struggling...but the question was, could you please stop moving your head so fast?

Like a rattle.

No expression can be seen at all.

But the voice is pretty good...

Ears hurt.

"Okay, that's it."

Really worried that she would scream loudly, Xu Xin stopped the performance directly.

Then he nodded to her:

"Go back and wait for the notification."

"..."

Wang Xiaochen was stunned, subconsciously combed his messy hair, and bowed respectfully:

"Thank you teachers."

As soon as she left, Xu Xin put the information in front of him into a basket on the side.

Obviously, this kind of performance is definitely not qualified.

To be thrown into this basket is to pass without even considering it.

The people present had no objections to his choice.

really……

Apart from her screams, this girl is really bad at everything else.

Then, the second one.

Xu Xin was happy when he saw the people coming in.

And he stood up:

"Brother Qian'er."

"Hey. Hello, directors~"

Yu Xuan smiled and nodded, but he didn't get too close.

On the contrary, it was Xu Xin:

"Why didn't I see you just now?"

"Didn't I go to smoke?"

Hearing this, Xu Xin smiled and nodded:

"Well, don't leave at noon, let's eat together."

"Excuse me, don't you have to audition this afternoon? I see there are a lot of good actors out there. If you want to drink, you can go home and have a drink after you're done~"

"Hahaha~ Come on, brother Qian'er, there is a stool there."

Pointing to the props, Xu Xin unscrupulously showed his preference for "actor Yu Xuan".

This is the prototype of the golden fire in his heart.

After speaking, he added:

"Let's try the question scene. You take a chair and sit there... Director Li, give me a profile shot."

Hearing this, Li Pingdong nodded and said to his apprentice Lin Li:

"Side bust."

Lin Li quickly stood up and adjusted the camera.

Yu Xuan took the chair and moved it in front of the cross mark.

After the person sat down, he leaned back on the chair in a very relaxed mood, and even crossed his legs.

Then, after looking at the script twice, he smiled kindly:

"It's time to start~"

Hearing this, the stage manager took a look and said nothing. He just turned his attention to Xu Xin on the screen next to him and read out Wang Tianxiang's lines:

"Lao Jin, was it you who passed on the information? Are you a spy?"

Yu Xuan shook his head without thinking. When he shook his head, the smile on his face turned into a look of surprise.

It was as if Jin Shenghuo didn't expect Wang Tianxiang to ask such a straightforward question so suddenly.

Then, he blinked twice quickly and his tone became very urgent:

"Old Wang! It's not me! It's not me!"

After saying this, his body language changed into an action of holding the armrests with both hands as he wanted to get up from the chair, but he didn't get up. The original leisurely feeling of looking at Erlang's legs turned into a slightly nervous one. uneasiness:

"How can I be a spy?"

"You really didn't spread the news? You have no contact with underground terrorists?"

The stage manager said the lines, and Yu Xuan's mouth opened and closed in an attempt to speak.

Eyes blink rapidly.

Sitting posture becomes more normal:

"No, no, Lao Wang... you know me, I am timid! How could I have the guts to do this? ...Oh, no, Lao Wang! Lao Wang~~~"

His posture changed to a slight forward lean, and a smile returned to his face.

A flattering smile.

He called Wang Tianxiang twice in succession, and finally gave a long sound.

He kept leaning forward, nodding his head along the way, and drawing an arc with his chin, and said with a heart-felt and flattering look:

"How many years have we been together... Don't you know how I came to be the director of the Military Aircraft Department? Right? Ha... it's just... nepotism. Right? Isn't the one in our family related to The commander’s wife is a cousin~ Others don’t know, Lao Wang…don’t you still know me?”

He directly ignored the next question that Wang Tianxiang was supposed to ask.

Instead, he said this line in a very natural performance state.

Here, Wang Tianxiang was supposed to ask, "You are the director of the Military Aircraft Department~a close minister of the commander...", and then Jin Shenghuo explained this "How did I come to be the director of the Military Aircraft Department?"

But Yu Xuan's omission, let alone... everyone present felt that it sounded very natural.

After the two questions were mixed into one answer, the kind of smooth and nervous Jin Shenghuo should be in this scene, but in fact there is a knife hidden in the cotton, which vaguely reminds Wang Tianxiang of his backstage background. Attitude shows.

The tension in this performance turned on immediately.

From "casual" at the beginning to "formal" when Wang Tianxiang asked sharp questions, and to the "nervous" kind of restlessness, and finally to the attitude of reminding Wang Tianxiang from the side, "I am not a fool either."

The whole process of character's mentality transformation is extremely smooth.

Moreover, this interview scene itself is more about lines than acting. Xu Xin planned to shoot it in a way that the scene would switch back and forth. The camera would switch back and forth between a half-length mirror, a close-up, and a close-up of the facial features. To express Wang Tianxiang's full sense of oppression in every question and the psychological activities of the person being asked.

The tone of the lines is particularly important at this time.

As soon as Yu Xuan spoke like this, he completely matched Xu Xin's image of Jin Shenghuo in his heart.

That's it.

That's the attitude.

If Jin Shenghuo wasn't smart, he wouldn't be the director of the military aircraft department.

If he had been weak, he would not have been able to commit suicide so decisively in the end.

Obviously, this person has the temperament to make decisive decisions when things go wrong.

Yu Xuan's performance fully met his expectations.

When something happened, Xu Xin nodded slightly here.

Observing Brother Qian'er's every microexpression on the TV, surprise gradually emerged in his eyes.

Brother Qian'er's acting skills...

Not bad at all.

The real deal is fine.

…

In less than 2 minutes, the performance is over.

No need to be reminded, Xu Xin nodded:

"Yes, Brother Qian'er, this is really okay..."

"Uh...haha."

Yu Xuan laughed heartily:

"It makes everyone laugh."

He was polite, and then heard Xu Xin say:

‘Then go back… we’ve done some research here and will contact you. Fine? I won't send it to you. "

"Okay. Now that everyone is busy, I won't waste your time. Let's go out first~"

Yu Xuan left with a smile.

As soon as he left, Guo Zhengyi said in surprise:

"I didn't see it... didn't he talk about cross talk?"

"This is our senior from the directing department of our school."

Xu Xin explained with a smile:

"To be honest with you, Jin Shenghuo is the prototype of my character... What do you think?"

"I'm OK."

Guo Zhengyi spoke first.

Li Pingdong also nodded:

"The temperament matches very well."

Qi Lei also responded:

"I think it's okay..."

Everyone asked, and everyone had objections.

Hearing this, Xu Xin nodded, found Brother Qian'er's information from another pile of information, and put it directly into the folder at hand.

Then, the next person.

One after another.

Some people were passed directly, while others were retained for temporary observation and planned to go back and watch the audition video before deciding whether to retain them.

Just like that, the time came to around 11 o'clock.

At this time, Xu Xin's phone rang.

Signing to pause the call, he glanced at the caller and whispered to several directors around him:

"Liu Yifei is here, let her try it first."

"...?"

Qi Lei was stunned and asked subconsciously:

"Liu Yifei? Whose role are you trying for?"

He thought it couldn't be Gu Xiaomeng, right?

This is a sure thing.

But Xu Xin shook his head slightly and said:

"The female killer at the beginning."

"..."
