I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 263 261. Grassroots Culture

Xu Xin took almost half an hour to shoot this scene.

There is still a gap between what he envisioned in his mind and what was actually shot, so Xu Xin was looking for ways to make up for it, shoot a section, check it, think about it for a while, and then continue to shoot again.

After all aspects have been captured, we will make a final summary, and then we will see how to do the editing.

After half an hour of filming, the crew came back shivering from the cold.

Qi Lei's figure also appeared again.

"Director Xu, can we do three interviews? One is "Film and Television Simultaneous Sound", one is "Entertainment Broadcast", and the other is "Entertainment Fun". All three will be published at the same time. If possible, they will be published one after another tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. More people are coming."

"no problem."

Xu Xin agreed directly.

"When will the tickets be issued?"

"I'll go back to Yanjing after talking to you."

"Okay, have a nice trip~"

"Hahaha~"

After talking and laughing, Qi Lei left.

Xu Xin continued to sit in front of the monitor, watching the team continue to arrange the next scene in an orderly manner.

Frankly speaking, this time the talents of these talented people at Xiying Studio have really been seen.

Xu Xin almost didn't need to say anything, what was wrong, what needed to be modified, and what should be done, these "masters" could lead their apprentices to do it themselves.

Even the layout of the pictures and the aesthetic angle that appeared in some occasional shots made Xu Xin feel amazing.

That's the good thing about having this kind of mature team.

Everything goes smoothly, no need to worry too much.

Everything from scheduling to arrangements was provided, and the actors were all very capable, so the filming was particularly smooth.

And this busy work lasted only one afternoon.

At around 6 o'clock in the evening, Xu Xin saw Jay Chou wearing what could be considered a hip-hop outfit.

At this glance, he is an "old detective".

When he came, Xu Xin thought he was going to move the coffee shop over.

Various alcoholic beverages and mineral water.

The person watching subconsciously wanted to retract his feet.

Jay Chou's appearance did cause some commotion at the scene.

Mainly from those young people.

Everyone was moved by the news and rushed to get off work. They almost surrounded Studio No. 3...

Plus it happened to be meal time.

Jay Chou arrived at the shed and just said hello to Xu Xin when he saw the bastard opposite him wave his hand:

"Quick, everyone go and get autographs."

"I\u0026\u0026*\u0026……%%"

Before Jay Chou could react, he was instantly overwhelmed by people waving notebooks, cell phones, and even cameras.

Xu Xin found Guo Zhengyi:

"Director Guo, we won't be filming tonight. Let's work harder on the design. We will continue the decoration style of the ballroom in Hengdian and build a piano corner. Then we will also get a real person to play the piano in the hall where the five-person group eats. Wait. Lang Lang has arrived in the past two days, and we need to shoot two more scenes. Add a scene with two people as guest stars~"

Guo Zhengyi nodded.

The piano corner was not difficult, and some of the boards on the set were ready-made.

As long as the design is reasonable, it is quite simple to get it done.

One night is more than enough.

As for working overtime...

Why do young people sleep so much?

As for Jay Chou, he seems to be used to Xu Xin's trap.

Frankly speaking, the main culprit for the "price drop" of his autographs in the fan market in the past two years is Xu Xin.

In just one Olympics, even Jay Chou himself didn't know how many signed albums he had signed.

Even though everyone buys genuine products, they still support themselves.

But the problem is...

The amount is so much that I feel like vomiting as soon as I sign my name.

It is considered unique throughout the ages.

At first he would resist, but later he found that resisting was useless and just lay down obediently.

Just sign.

sign.

Just take a group photo.

combine!

Are you all done?

Then I'm leaving.

I am leaving.

After getting into the commercial car amidst the cheers of a group of people, Jay Chou looked at Xu Xin who was leaning on the seat in a daze, and punched Xu Xin on the arm:

"Hey, why are you pretending to be serious if you don't speak?"

"Hiss~~"

Xu Xin, whose thoughts were interrupted, rolled his eyes at him speechlessly and said:

"Tong Shengxiang, right?"

"what is that?"

“A place to eat steamed buns, it tastes good.”

"...Isn't it that Sun family?"

"That one is not delicious."

Xu Xin shook his head:

"Then tomorrow you and Big Lao Wang will just go shopping. There are quite a lot of ancient buildings in Xi'an. Aren't there many people saying that the song "Lanting Preface" in your album this time is not as good as "Blue and White Porcelain"? You might as well go to Xi'an here. Go shopping, you might get some inspiration.”

"Well……"

After hearing this, Jay Chou thought about it and thought it made sense, so he turned to Wang Sicong who was sitting behind him and asked:

"Then where shall we go tomorrow?"

"Go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda."

"What a shame, Big Wild Goose Pagoda...? Why does it have such a strange name? Is it Sanskrit?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

While the people in the car, including Lin Xinxin, were silent, Wang Sicong nodded seriously:

"Yes. In Sanskrit, it means good luck. For example, if you say to the person next to you: You are a coward, it means wishing him good luck."

"..."

"..."

"..."

In another mysterious silence, Jay Chou looked at Xu Xin with a sincere expression:

"Well, A Xin, you are a coward."

"Hahahahahaha..."

After saying this, everyone in the car burst into laughter, including himself.

Xu Xin couldn't laugh or cry.

He didn't believe that Jay Chou couldn't tell that "coward" was not a good word.

But as friends, it's fun to play tricks on each other.

Walking towards Tong Shengxiang while talking and laughing, people in the carriage were chatting along the way.

But Yang Mi didn't say much.

In fact, she has been acting this way recently.

Subtly, I want to keep Gu Xiaomeng's template in my heart, so I prefer this silent method.

Talking and laughing all the way, we arrived at Tongshengxiang Restaurant, a time-honored restaurant in Xi'an. It was really crowded this night.

Sun Ting got out of the car first to ask, but soon she brought a piece of news:

"There are no more private rooms."

Xu Xin frowned.

Suddenly, he looked at Yang Mi:

"Shall we eat in the hall?"

Yang Mi, who was taciturn, was stunned for a moment. She temporarily jumped out of that mood and widened her eyes in confusion:

"What should he do?"

"That's right, what should I do?"

Jay Chou was also speechless.

But Xu Xin shook his head:

"I need some news. I haven't told you about the filming in the afternoon, but... I really need some news."

"Well……"

Jay Chou was stunned, but he was the first to agree:

"Okay, let's go~"

He spoke up and expressed his stance as the "King of Heaven".

Friends need it.

Then insert it!

Full of ribs!

Don't even bother to ask why.

"Walk."

Xu Xin opened the car door directly.

When Jay Chou got out of the car, he didn't even wear a mask.

Just wear a peaked cap.

So, when Yang Mi and Jay Chou appeared in Tong Shengxiang's hall at the same time, not to mention the guests, even the waiters were stunned.

Then everyone discovered belatedly...

The person sitting next to Yang Mi seems to be...that Xu Xin?

Yang Mi is next to Xu Xin, Xu Xin is next to Jay Chou, Jay Chou is next to Passerby A, and Passerby A is next to Passerby B. Passerby B is next to Sun Ting, and Sun Ting is next to Dani. Dani is next to Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao is next to Wu Qiqi...

With the addition of Jay Chou's second assistant, the scene of a total of ten people crowded at a table ordering food made everyone raise their mobile phones and start taking pictures.

Fortunately, the foreman Tong Shengxiang responded quickly enough and quickly sent a waiter to some guests who were taking photos to tell them not to disturb other guests while they were dining.

The dining guests also expressed their understanding, although some wanted to ask for autographs...

But before they even said they were leaving, it was really inappropriate to be surrounded by people.

Jay Chou and Yang Mi are not Lao Shaanxi after all. If people come to our house for dinner and the guests cannot even eat well, that is not our Lao Shaanxi style of hospitality.

It is our own family members who have been lost.

That's not good.

So, after the initial noise, the entire hotel lobby gradually calmed down.

At this time, the lobby manager came over and asked if he wanted to go to a private room, but was directly rejected by Wang Sicong.

Only then did the lobby manager react...

It seems like this passerby also has something...

The meal for a few people was very simple. They ordered four cold dishes, a few meat buns, and a bowl of steamed buns per person.

I ate everything cleanly, with no waste at all.

During this period, everyone basically didn’t talk much.

It's like a family going out to eat. The reason for coming to the restaurant was not to chat or to have a good conversation, but simply because I was hungry.

Hungry, full, it's over.

This is the rhythm of several people eating in Tong Sheng Xiang.

The market is not good enough.

After eating, paying the bill, and about to leave, some audience members finally couldn't hold themselves back and asked Jay Chou and Yang Mi to sign autographs.

Jay Chou and Yang Mi are also welcome to come.

After satisfying everyone's signatures as much as possible, he was finally escorted by the waiter to leave.

Before leaving, I took a photo with Tong Shengxiang's foreman at the gate.

It really gave me enough face.

After coming out, I met some media reporters who came after hearing the news.

I don’t know where they got the news so quickly.

However, Xu Xin did not accept an interview.

Everyone got into two cars, and then heard Xu Xin's instructions:

"Drive as normal. If they want to follow, follow. Let's go back to Xiying Studio."

"OK."

Sun Ting, who was driving, responded.

So, the two cars simply turned on their double flashes. They were like guiding lights in Xi'an at night, allowing the following vehicles to arrive at the guest house of Xiying Studio. They watched helplessly as a group of people entered the parking lot. Give up.

Within an hour, the news of "Jay Chou, Yang Mi, Xu Xin and their friends eating steamed buns in Xi'an" had spread to the Internet.

I have to admit that Jay Chou's popularity is really high.

As soon as the news came out, attention skyrocketed.

There is a warmth between these three people.

On the one hand, Jay Chou and Yang Mi were rumored to be having an affair in Xiangjiang... Of course, the scandal in Xiangjiang can just be watched for fun.

But it is true that Yang Mi went to his concert in Xiangjiang.

There was also Xu Xin at the concert.

The target of the blame was originally directed at Yang Mi and Jay Chou, but after the news about Xu Xin's visit to Yang Mi's class was revealed, Jay Chou changed from the scandal target to the one who blocked the gun.

And it's basically a fact.

After all, the news that Jay Chou is dating Jiang Yuchen has been flying all over the sky.

And what happened with Xu Xin and Yang Mi...

Um.

That's how Xu Gou got his name.

And when the photo was released today, the two of them were sitting next to each other again, which made the matter even more subtle.

So, as soon as these photos appeared, with Jay Chou's guarantee of popularity, featuring a popular mainland star and a talented director, the popularity suddenly began to rise.

Then someone didn’t know what happened, but the identity of “passerby A” was also revealed.

Young Master Wanda...

Oops!

The content of this photo suddenly became more informative.

It was obviously just a few photos, but the popularity started to grow.

Some people have even begun to uncover the details of Xu Xin and Yang Mi's relationship.

However, the person involved didn’t respond, so you don’t know whether it’s true or not.

The reason for the lack of response was simple. After returning to the hotel, Xu Xin took people including Lin Xinxin to "have a meeting."

The content of the meeting was not actually related to Lin Xingxin, but he was the cousin of Big Laowang, so Xu Xin would naturally not do the kind of thing of "let's talk and you go out".

After calling everyone into her room, Yang Mi was confused by her first words:

"Xiying Studio is going to build a TV station soon."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Lin Xingxin didn't know why, but the other three people all frowned.

Among them, Yang Mi frowned the most.

The most relaxed person is Wang Sicong.

Surprised, he asked:

"Star rating? Or from the province?"

You see, although Wang Sicong is not in this circle, he knows some things.

After hearing Xu Xin's words "within the province", he frowned:

"Within the province?...So, are you following Shaanxi Taiwan?"

"right."

"this……"

After thinking about it for a while, Big Laowang pointed out a very key point:

"Shaanxi Station is not famous. I don't even know what their logo is."

In fact, this is to the point.

Don't talk about him. If you ask ten people outside Shaanxi, nine of them probably don't know what the logo of Shaanxi Taiwan is.

What's more... the history of Shaanxi Taiwan is not very glorious.

At this time, Lin Xin said:

"Lightning mark."

"……How do you know it?"

Hearing this, Lin Xingxin rolled his eyes:

"Brother, turn around and look."

Wang Sicong turned his head and realized that above the TV set behind the dining table chair where he was sitting was Shaanxi TV...

"..."

At this time, Xu Xin spoke:

"If it were as famous as Hunan TV, do you think it would still be in the factory?"

"...That's true."

At this time, Yang Mi asked:

"How specific?"

"The specifics are very simple, Western Movie Channel. Xiying Studio operates independently, and currently provides 8 sets of channels. The target is Xiying Studio's own movies, TV series, including some variety shows, etc."

"!"

Yang Mi's eyes lit up instantly.

"when!?"

"This is what I want to tell you. In the afternoon, Qi Lei and I chatted again. It was separated from the Shaanxi TV channel. In 2003, the Shaanxi TV channel was launched, but the ratings The rate has never been good. In addition, when a movie starts broadcasting, it needs to buy the copyright, so it is simply divided. If nothing happens, it will be established early next year.

And the reason why we want to make some news today is also because of... Gu Changwei's matter. He was originally going to be one of the four deputy directors, but after this incident came out, he would definitely not be able to get there. Now whoever can suppress the impact of his incident will obviously be good for the factory. And Mr. Tian, ​​we will have a stronger say... This time the deputy director is one of them. I've got my eye on it~"

When he said this, he was talking to Yang Mi.

"Don't you want to set up your own company and cultivate your own artists? ... As long as the works are good enough, this TV station is the most fertile soil!"

After finishing his words, Wang Sicong's puzzled voice sounded again:

"But the problem is that you have to start from scratch... This one should only be seen by people in Shaanxi, right? At best, neighboring provinces can also see it..."

"So I specifically asked Mr. Wada today. He estimates that within one or two years at the latest, when all cable TV users have used second-generation set-top boxes, these channels will be searchable one after another. So, in the final analysis, as long as there is attraction If it’s something for people, then this is the most suitable place.”

"That's true... Hunan TV wasn't that powerful from the beginning."

"Hmm... So this is why I want this popularity. Moreover, several media outlets have been coming to interview me in the past few days. In fact, they are all for the sake of pressuring the door. And as long as the position of deputy director is obtained... … If it operates well and the content is well produced, whether it is training new people or other aspects, your journey will be much easier in the future.”

In the second half of the sentence, he looked at Yang Mi again.

"In the future, we don’t have to worry about how to cut which meat to whom, or how to help others become famous. At least for some actors in their early stages, not to mention how powerful our resources are, at least we have the capital to compete with other companies. . And this is just the beginning... As long as we do better and better in the future, our plate will become heavier and bigger!"

"..."

Yang Mi was speechless.

But the light of thought began to show in his eyes...

Then, Xu Xin suddenly changed the subject and looked at Jay Chou:

"And you."

"……What's the matter?"

At first, Jay Chou thought this was a "fun thing".

But seeing A Xin suddenly turn towards him, he couldn't chew the melon immediately:

"what happened to me?"

"Actually, after you called me today, I have been thinking about something..."

"Well……"

"Do you still remember what we talked about when we signed Guo Caijie?"

"...?"

Looking at Jay Chou's doubtful eyes, Xu Xin helped him recall:

"Didn't I tell you? It's better not to let you, the boss, work so hard in front of you to pull the carriage. Then you will be tired first, regardless of whether others are tired or not. Right?"

"……Um."

Jay Chou's expression became serious.

"so what?"

"So I've been thinking about where your career plans are. First of all, the focus must shift here, right? Wanwan's handicap is too small after all."

"Um."

"And with a TV station, can't we start making stars?"

Make stars...

As soon as this word came out, Jay Chou immediately thought of something and asked instinctively:

"Are you talking about the singing competition?"

"Yes, isn't that how you came out?"

"..."

Jay Chou was silenced after just one sentence.

It's not that he feels inferior to his origin or anything, but as Jewel's boss, he seems to have suddenly discovered...

It’s as if this road is a new opportunity.

In the past two years, Wanwan's fatigue has really begun to show, whether in variety shows or otherwise.

Hong Kong’s entertainment industry has given them a warning.

That is that times have changed. Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment is no longer leading Asia, but industry transfer has begun.

Haven't you seen the current Wanwan movies? Do all the people like to go to the mainland?

It is an ironclad fact that there are many opportunities here and it is easy to make money.

but……

"There seem to be a lot of talent show and variety shows nowadays. It seems like everything is about talent shows... I feel like the market is already saturated~"

"Two o'clock."

Xu Xin raised two fingers:

"First, this is the return of grassroots culture. What everyone likes to watch is no longer some lofty artist, but a life-oriented thing. So, if you look at the talent show alone, the market does seem to be saturated. But jump If you look at the overall situation, you will know that its market has just begun. I think the future will definitely be an era of pan-entertainment. The so-called entertainment is not limited to actors and singers... If you don’t believe it, let me show you something.”

With that said, he picked up his laptop, opened it, and logged in to his YY.

Nowadays, everyone has abandoned Sina UT and switched to this voice software.

The vest number with the ID "Invictus——XX" is online.

Invictus means: unconquerable.

It's Latin.

When Yang Mi was playing DOTA, she kept talking about coming up with a unified team name, but she didn’t know where Big Laowang got such a formal word, which has a pretty good meaning.

So there were several members of the Invictus team, including Invictus——XX, Invictus——wang, Invictus——jay, and Invictus——YM... and there was also an Invictus——TOM who couldn't climb out of the fish pond for the time being...

TOM is Lang Lang's English name.

He was dragged into the trap by his brothers, and as a result, his piano-playing hands were placed on the keyboard, just like the freshly washed cotton pants in the Northeast winter.

So stiff...

But I also like to play Carl.

That is, the hero in DOTA - the Summoner.

He is the only complex hero who requires different combinations of three elements to develop complex skills.

It's hard to get started.

People who can play are called "piano players".

Then... the piano master and the title "pianist" came together.

He even made a cheat sheet, what about QQQ’s rapid cooling, EEE is Skyfire... He claims to be a piano player, but he ended up becoming a ghost in DOTA’s low-end game.

Cai Dao Yang Mi and Wang Sicong discussed removing him from the team every day.

It's so embarrassing.

After logging into YY, he entered the code "2080" for a channel. After entering, bursts of girls singing began to sound.

"Hand in hand, one step, two steps, three steps, four steps, looking at the sky..."

"show you."

"...?"

Jay Chou became interested as soon as he heard that there was a song of his own.

After looking at it, he asked:

"What is this 2080?"

"A YY music channel. I discovered it by accident when we were playing games a few months ago."

Of course Jay Chou knew how to use YY, so he immediately looked at Mai Xu.

On the wheat preface is an ID called "2080 - Poison", singing his own "Xingqing".

"They... don't have my copyright."

"Nonsense, KTV doesn't have your copyright yet."

Xu Xin rolled his eyes.

Things like copyright... are not clearly separated now.

What he wanted to say was not this, but pointing to Mai Xu on the screen:

"Look at how many people are in this sub-channel."

"More than seven hundred..."

"Yes, there are more than 700 people here to listen to the music. If you think it sounds good, I will give you flowers. No, the members who are on the microphone are all singers of this channel... You can say it before you realize this. Is there a small concert? And it’s free..."

“Do they get paid to sing?”

"Hardly, just like it."

"Well……"

"But this is grassroots culture, isn't it? There are signs of this kind of culture on the Internet now. That's why I tell you, in a few years, grassroots culture will definitely become popular and return. This circle is definitely not just what it used to be. It’s just a matter of the entertainment industry and fandom.”

"..."

Jay Chou was silent for half the song.

After the girl named "2080 - Poison" finished her sequence and the next singer started singing, she turned off YY and nodded:

"So, what do you mean?"

"This is the second point I want to make. I think most of the future popularity will be concentrated in grassroots culture, so today you told me that hundreds of people want you to come and listen to their singing... What does this mean? ? It shows that the current "debut" channels are mainly traditional models.

This model is too backward. I think you should consider this aspect... whether it is a talent show or something... these will definitely be a fast track in the future. And in this fast lane, whoever eats the crab first will be the fullest!

So the problem you both have to face is actually the same... Let's tackle both ends and grasp it with one hand. Don't walk with a limp leg! And this TV station is a great opportunity for you and her! Think about it, a TV station of our own...a private land where we can make all the changes...

Is there any need to select, package, and bet on the future? Not needed at all. Some people want to make a debut and put it on this grassroots stage. What the public recognizes is pop culture! right? "

"..."

"..."

"..."

Xu Xin's words silenced both Jay Chou and Yang Mi.

Even Wang Sicong and Lin Xinxin.

After being silent for a while while Xu Xin smoked a cigarette, Jay Chou nodded slightly:

"Hmm...so what kind of talent show are you going to do?"

"I haven't thought about that much yet. But... the most urgent thing to open up wasteland for farming is to tidy up the land first, isn't it? That's why I took you to have a meal in front of a large audience. First, get the TV station set up and put it in your pocket. Then when the time comes..."

He shrugged:

"Play whatever you want, just play!"

It’s just one chapter today, sorry. My right wrist is swollen, sore and painful. I have to move it to type a few lines, and it makes a clicking sound when I move it. It's very uncomfortable!
