I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 268 266. Bearing my name...

"What do you think about Jiaojiao?"

"I'll lie down and watch."

"Snapped!"

"Ouch!!"

Xu Xin covered his burning buttocks with an angry look on his face:

"You're serious! Hiss... I'm so stupid... hiss..."

At that moment, he felt as if he had been hit by a steel rod.

Hot.

What's this about?

Yang Mi shook her wrist and sneered:

"Lie down for me and don't move. Otherwise... do you know what Baji plus draping is? Are the gods afraid of this?!"

"..."

Xu Xin twitched the corner of his mouth and pointed at his brain:

"Sister, I drank too much and the world is spinning right now. Can we just chat and then go to bed?"

"What do you think?"

Yang Mi said, already taking off her hairband.

During this time, the two of them lived like monks and nuns.

One is clearer than the other.

The reason is actually that my mind is thinking about the script or the character all the time, and I have no time to think about anything else.

And now that the play is over, after getting out of the character's state with "three slaps" on the face, the girl after drinking is also very restless.

When the book is used, it will be less regrettable.

I'm starting to get excited, but you're telling me that you can't do it?

no!

I have to see if it works!

As for Xu Xin, although the alcohol had almost numbed his brain at the moment, looking at the girl with her hair down in front of him, his rationality came online a little bit:

"Don't take a shower?"

"I'll wash it myself when you fall asleep. I haven't taken care of it yet~"

"This... okay."

"Well, turn off the lights."

Hearing this, Xu Xin turned off the light.

When the room fell into darkness, Yang Mi's voice sounded again:

"Then let Jiaojiao follow you from now on?"

"Then what should you do? No one will be your costume assistant anymore..."

"Look for it again."

While talking, Xu Xin, who had just entered the bed, hugged the body that also exuded the fragrance of Maotai.

"She has taken good care of you recently, and I feel relieved. When the contract ends next year, we will need to recruit many, many people. You see, assistants need to be trained, and a brokerage team needs to be found, as well as a packaging team and a public relations team. There should be at least fifty or sixty people inside and outside. These people need to be led by experienced people. If there are too many people, problems will easily occur, so you have to find trustworthy people in various places. You can’t just look at ability, but also at human nature. …This child’s humanity is quite good…”

"Why does it sound like an old man's statement again?"

Xu Xin scratched his head a little.

Yang Mi chuckled, her tone full of pride:

"Senior brother~Senior sister wants to..."

"No, you don't."

"Oh, you're annoying...forget it, forget it, I won't talk to you about this anymore. Elder Tang~"

"Um?"

"Um……"

…

"What!???? You just resigned!?"

In another standard room, Zhao Liying suddenly screamed:

"Are you crazy!?"

"..."

This time, Zhang Jiao did not refute.

I just drank more than half a glass of warm water in one breath.

If you want to get rid of drunkenness quickly, the best way is to speed up the metabolism of alcohol. So drink more water and go to the toilet more often, and you will wake up quickly.

This was already her third glass of water.

When she left just now, Zhao Liying was not there, but went to chat with Jing Tian.

The friendship between the two seemed to Zhang Jiao to be a miracle.

She and Jing Tian can't get along...

I always feel that the other person's words are too choked.

But Baozi likes this straightforward approach.

After all, in some ways, the way the two talk is somewhat different.

After filming this scene, Jing Tian will go to Yanjing, and Baozi will go back to Hengdian to see if he can find a small role at the end of the year, earn some money, and go home happily for the New Year.

So before they parted, the two of them naturally had something to talk about.

But now that Baozi came back, when he told her about this... Looking at her fried appearance, Zhang Jiao felt that it was quite normal.

So he nodded along with her words:

"Yes, I'm crazy..."

But Zhao Liying ignored her answer and asked anxiously:

"What did Sister Mi say!? Did you agree?!...Can it be redeemed? Why did you resign?! ​​Why didn't you tell me that you resigned?!"

"...Didn't you go to find Jing Tian?"

"Well……"

Zhao Liying listened to this answer, and after about two or three seconds, she suddenly said:

"Jiaojiao, are you jealous?"

"..."

Zhang Jiao was speechless:

"I'm so jealous."

"Oh, don't worry, I will always be good to you!"

Just like a lesbian, Zhao Liying instantly held Zhang Jiao's hand.

"Pull him down quickly."

Zhang Jiao took her hand away angrily and continued:

"Sister Mi didn't agree...instead she asked me to be Brother Xu's assistant."

"..."

This time it was Zhao Liying's turn to be speechless.

"Why?"

"...?"

Zhang Jiao looked at her blankly.

Didn't you look anxious just now? Why are you asking again?

"Uh... I'm not saying you should resign. I mean, why doesn't Sister Mi agree... eh? It doesn't seem right. Just... oops, I don't know either!"

"You..."

Zhang Jiao had no choice but to tell her what happened in Yang Mi's house just now.

As Zhao Liying listened, her mouth became an "O" shape:

"Is this a blessing in disguise for you!"

"...So be it."

Zhang Jiao responded:

"Moreover, Sister Mi is really kind. She is the best person I have ever met...who treats me best. When I arrived at her house, her first reaction was to ask me if I had encountered any difficulties. And I said that I Resigning...actually what I did was very inappropriate, right?"

"Yeah. It's a bit like burning bridges..."

Zhao Liying gave a very pertinent evaluation.

"But Sister Mi was not angry, but asked me what my plan was... Later, didn't Brother Xu agree with me to resign, but Sister Mi still stopped me... In fact, I also know that this circle is only popular, Only then can I be like Sister Mi or Liang Bingning. Sister Mi also said this... and she also knew about my age, and she even took care of me and said she would find some small roles for me... Actually, she was just afraid that I wouldn't be able to survive, and there would be a lot of things by then. They were all wasted. I understand all this, but... I still decided to do this. Then Sister Mi arranged for me to be assigned to Brother Xu."

"It doesn't matter if it's a betrothal... Ouch, oh, oh, oh..."

Before he could finish his words, someone pinched his thigh.

Zhao Liying covered her legs and started "wailing".

"There's no formality, I'm talking to you seriously!... Just come with me, okay?"

"...?"

Zhao Liying was stunned for a moment, no longer joking, but said in surprise:

"What?"

"I said, you come with me. Let's go back to school to further our studies... and take the Beijing Film Academy exam together. Baozi..."

Zhang Jiao looked at her seriously:

"You have also seen the acting skills of Sister Mimi and Liang Binning, right?"

"Um."

"Director Xu said that in this industry you either have talent or you have to work hard in the right direction..."

"But Liang Binning didn't come from a formal academic background."

"Well……"

Zhang Jiao was a little stunned by her friend's words...

It seems...that's true.

And Zhao Liying continued:

"Besides, Jiaojiao, you also know the situation of my family. If my family's conditions were good, I wouldn't come out as a group performer. So I can understand what you mean, but..."

There was also a light of human sobriety in her eyes:

"I still firmly believe that there are no absolutes in anything. Liang Binning can come out... I believe I can come out too. Learning is for sure, but our situations are different. Each has its own advantages and difficulties. If you let me choose, I will still be like now, finding and accepting roles by myself, and then practicing my acting skills bit by bit in front of the mirror... It's not that I'm blindly confident, it's just that I have to do this in order to be in reality. To achieve a balance with your dreams.”

"..."

What is the biggest gain that Zhang Jiao has gained from working as an assistant to Sister Mimi these past few months?

Then you learn to "let go".

Not everyone has to live according to other people's wishes.

This has nothing to do with the quality of the advice.

Even if it's for the good of others.

So, after hearing such words, she thought about it and said:

"Then I'll buy you textbooks! Then... I'm buying a DV, and I'll record the teacher's lectures for you to watch!"

"Hehehehe~ It's better to be Jiaojiao~"

Zhao Liying immediately started to smile...but she immediately realized:

"Don't you still want to apply for the exam?"

"Director Xu said that I don't need to worry about this, and he will let me listen first when the time comes..."

"Director Xu is too kind to you..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Zhang Jiao quickly warned her:

"If Sister Mi hears your words, it's me and you who are unlucky. Don't you understand?"

"Well……"

Zhao Liying smiled:

"I didn't mean that."

"I know, but the speaker has no intention, and the listener has intention. Do you understand? You must not do this in the future, or there will be problems!"

"Um……"

Zhao Liying responded and then lay down on her bed.

Her body proportions are average, so there are naturally no "slim curves" to speak of.

But after stretching a lot and letting out a groan that easily made people crave, he suddenly asked:

"You said before that Sister Mi wanted to start her own company, right?"

"Um."

"Then...if you make your debut, do you also plan to go to Sister Mi's place?"

"Um!"

Zhang Jiao nodded firmly, but immediately there was a trace of anxiety on her face:

"It's just... I don't know if Sister Mi will want me..."

"But to be honest, even if Director Xu is very good and Sister Mi is very good, running this kind of agency has nothing to do with the level of director or acting skills."

As a contracted actor of Huayi, even if Zhao Liying doesn't know much about the company, the occasional tip of the iceberg in this giant is enough to "terrify" her.

"That's right."

Zhang Jiao nodded:

"But... I firmly believe that Sister Mi must be a very good boss! You and she don't have much personal contact, so you just don't know. Sister Mi is definitely not simple... Just look at the career path she has planned for herself. I'm not afraid to tell you that her manager, Sister Zeng, has no sense of existence at all. Do you understand? Uncle Xu is teaching her every step of Sister Mi's steps..."

"Just... Director Xu's father? The guy who drives a Rolls-Royce?"

"Yes. Sister Mi is really great, and she is really nice to people, and she is super capable... Baozi, do you know what investment is? Although I don't think I am qualified to say this. But ... I feel that when Sister Mi becomes famous, and when the time comes to judge by merit and seniority, the group of people who provide help in times of need will get the most. So... at least for now, my thoughts will not change. I want to follow her, Follow Director Xu! I have a very strong intuition... Sister Mi will definitely succeed, because I can't find a reason why she will fail! Have you ever seen a girl in her 23s or 24s who can develop her career like this on her own? ?!”

"Well……"

At this time, even Zhao Liying frowned.

She rarely heard such comments about anyone from Jiaojiao.

All high above the sky.

And if you think about it...

Jiaojiao seems to be right.

Director Xu’s father, Uncle Xu, both drives a Rolls-Royce.

How rich are you?

Director Xu is Uncle Xu's son... so Uncle Xu's money, isn't it Director Xu's money?

If Director Xu is also rich...then is there any reason why he can't succeed?

Is that the truth?

Thinking of this, she suddenly asked:

"Then did Sister Mi say what the requirements are for finding artists after opening her own company?"

"Um?"

Zhang Jiao was stunned...

"You're thinking……"

"My contract will end at the end of August this year." (Note 1)

"Well……"

Zhang Jiao's eyes lit up:

"You want to come here!?"

"……Um."

Zhao Liying nodded:

"Originally, those of us who came out of "Yahoo Star Search" were not very popular... Yahoo was about to withdraw from the Chinese market. When the two parties first cooperated, there were no promotions, advertising endorsements, etc. Cash in... Do you know what our group’s nickname is in the company?”

"What?"

"Hengdian 360."

"..."

"Many people have stopped acting. Ai Lijiang has gone back to school, and Fu Siqi has left. She opened a Taobao store. It was my idea for her to become a model herself... As a result, she is now Models have to pay money to the company for taking pictures... Sometimes when we chat, she will happily say to me: Baozi, it's a good thing that Huayi doesn't think highly of us and only gives us a three-year contract. If it were five years, she really wouldn't I know what I should do in the future... Isn't it the same for me? I am self-reliant and can live as long as I can... So, do you think I should go... Ask Sister Mi to see if she will accept me... Anyway, I don't Eat whatever resources you want. If there is a role, I will act. If there is no role, I will go back and continue to be a Hengdian 360. What do you think? "

"OK!"

The moment she heard Zhao Liying's words, Zhang Jiao nodded without even thinking:

"Absolutely no problem! Let me tell you, now is really a good opportunity. I really think Sister Mi will not be easy in the future! Now is the best time! But..."

Suddenly, she stopped talking and asked:

"If you don't renew the contract...will Huayi think you are ignorant and suppress you?"

"If you suppress me, just become an extra. Anyway, I don't have the resources~ Not to mention anything else, I have acted in so many dramas, and the price is the same as that of extras, sixty or eighty, there will always be someone who can use me Right? Jiaojiao, you are smarter than me... Since you believe in Sister Mi so much, then I will follow you! I will have to be the child's godmother in the future! Hehehehe..."

As if thinking of a better life in the future, a smile appeared in her round eyes.

"In the future, we will all live in a big villa! Then we will buy a car worth one or two million! We will carry LV and wear La Mer! We will buy a lot of Chanel perfumes at home! ... Then I will go to Sister Mi tomorrow to tell her ,OK?"

"Um!"

With a "pop" sound, the lights in the room were turned off:

"Then you go to bed early. Sister Mi got up very early and has to practice. You can't be late! I'll go with you tomorrow!"

Zhao Liying did not respond.

Just after a thin sound in the room...

"Ah! What are you doing..."

"Hey, hey, you're so cute, you almost miss me~ Beauty~ Squeeze and move over there..."

A somewhat idiotic laughter sounded in the room.

"I'm really... oh! Where are you going..."

Everything returns to silence.

…

"Huayi signed a three-year contract with you?"

On the road inside the Xiying Factory, Yang Mi was a little surprised, wearing gloves, a thin-looking sports down jacket, and a cotton hat.

Zhao Liying, who was running and panting, nodded:

"Huh...yes...huh...huh..."

She had just followed Sister Mi for half a lap, and she, who boasted that she could "run and jump," couldn't stand this kind of pace.

Monster?

So you can run...

Yang Mi was speechless when she saw this:

"You should adjust your breathing first. I'm running two laps. I'll talk about it later."

"No... no need... I... sister... can keep up with... with..."

"...Then stop talking and run with me."

"..."

Zhao Liying said nothing, but continued to follow Yang Mi in front.

Then he ran farther and farther, farther and farther...

By the time she finished running to Xiying Studio, Yang Mi was already doing stretching exercises there.

Looking at the panting girl in front of her, she nodded secretly.

After all, we are all destined to be together in "Golden Armor".

And now these three laps of Xiying Studio... are not some 400-meter runway.

The entire Xiying Film Factory is quite large.

Being able to grit your teeth and run with yourself shows great perseverance.

So he said:

"Come on, stretch with me."

"Huh...huh...huh..."

Zhao Liying gasped and began to copy Yang Mi's movements.

…

"If you do this right, it will slim down your calves. Otherwise, your calves will be too strong and it won't look good in clothes."

"This is to relax the Achilles tendon. The Achilles tendon looks slender, which makes the foot shape look good. Wearing high heels will be more eye-catching."

"Yes, hold on against the wall. It's normal for your legs to shake, which means your lower limbs are not strong enough. Hold on, this is a core exercise..."

…

After a set of stretching exercises, Zhao Liying was already sweating profusely in the middle of winter.

But Yang Mi was just sweating on her forehead.

Then, she hooked her hand at Zhao Liying, motioning to follow her, and then continued to ask:

"Why did Huayi give you a three-year contract instead of five?"

"Our batch of people who came out of "Yahoo Star Search" were all given three-year contracts. It seems that there is some kind of cooperation between the two parties, which is three years of training. In the next two years, Yahoo will allocate resources, such as advertising, spokespersons, etc. ...I don’t know the specifics. Anyway, I signed it...But Yahoo has almost gone bankrupt in the past two years, so especially starting in 2008, we didn’t have any roles assigned by the company for the whole year.”

"What resources were provided in 2006?"

“Being a bare-faced model in an Olay commercial.”

"What about the others?"

"Ai Lijiang became the spokesperson of Yahoo, and He Zhuoyan got the role of "Shuang'er" in "The Deer and the Cauldron". When "The Deer and the Cauldron" became popular last year, she was quite popular. So Huayi renewed her relationship with her. We made an appointment. But... I, Fu Siqi, and Ai Lijiang didn't get the contract..."

"The agent doesn't care about you anymore?"

"……Um."

"That's it..."

Yang Mi thought for a while and said:

"Baozi, I know your relationship with Jiaojiao, so I won't hide some things from you. Indeed, I want to set up my own company after I come out, but you have to think about it... I may be quite popular now, but There are not many works on the market. Even after I came out on my own, I may not be able to absorb the resources in front of me. If this is the case...are you still willing to follow me? "

"willing!"

Zhao Liying nodded directly without any hesitation.

"What's the reason? Because Jiaojiao?"

"Um!"

Zhao Liying nodded again:

"Jiaojiao said... Sister Mi is a good boss, and she thinks you and Director Xu are both super awesome! She also said... uh..."

Suddenly, she stopped talking.

It's so risky, so risky, so easy to talk about, and say those words of "rewards based on merit".

But little did he know that seeing her hesitant expression, Yang Mi more or less guessed something.

really.

As an assistant, Jiaojiao sees a lot more of her own private things than others.

But she didn't ask further questions.

Just thinking.

In her career plan, in terms of "people", there is currently only one Liu Yifei.

Under normal circumstances, the ideal artist target would be a male artist.

After all, everyone knows why the three monks had no water to drink.

However, even if she can win Liu Yifei, one of the problems she faces now is...Liu Yifei will definitely not play a small role or anything else.

And she herself will not play small roles.

That is inconsistent with your own value positioning.

In this way, there is one less role in the company to accept sinking resources.

Thinking of this, she said:

"Then have you thought it through yourself? Even if you come to my side, it doesn't mean that you can get a starring role or something directly... We have all come here step by step. You should understand this truth."

"I know!"

Zhao Liying nodded quickly:

"But...at least it's better than in Hengdian 360, right?"

"What is Hengdian 360?"

Yang Mi was a little curious.

"My nickname...or the nickname of our group of people. After we signed a contract with Huayi, apart from some required training, we were sent to Hengdian. Either extras or small roles... …So those people in the company who had five-year contracts gave us a nickname, Hengdian 360. It means we stay there 360 ​​days, 365 days a year..."

"..."

Yang Mi frowned.

This nickname is a bit "insulting".

In the future, my company must strictly prohibit any colleagues from calling each other nicknames...even if they are benign.

It’s too easy to become a label.

Silently keeping this in mind, she looked at the girl in front of her who was still smiling plainly, and suddenly put her hand on her cheek.

"You can laugh at this kind of nickname...it looks like it's very glorious."

"Well……"

Zhao Liying was stunned for a moment.

Does it hurt?

It doesn't hurt.

It's just that...this sudden intimacy made her a little uncomfortable.

But Yang Mi rubbed her fingers...

Ouch, this feels good~

Instantly, she was in a good mood.

Then he nodded:

"Okay, when will the contract end?"

"August."

"Okay. After August is over, come directly. We will be a family from now on. I won't tell you unnecessary words, and it's useless to talk empty words. After you come over, I won't promise you anything. You just step on Let’s study our acting skills steadily. Even if we don’t have talent, even if we walk a little slower, we should take steady steps, step by step. I dare not say that I will praise you as a role, but at least we can be recognized by people. A good actor. This is the only guarantee I can give you, okay?"

"Well, okay! Thank you, Sister Mi!"

I felt the sincerity in Yang Mi's words, especially the words "a good actor recognized by others", which hit the heart of this girl who has been working hard in Hengdian all year round.

She agreed without any hesitation.

In fact, an excitement came out of nowhere!

At this time, a hand patted her shoulder:

"Are you watching "One Piece"?"

"……ah?"

Zhao Liying, who had just smiled, was stunned.

Then he shook his head:

"No... I haven't seen it."

"That's it..."

For some reason, Yang Mi suddenly showed a look of malice and pinched her cheek again.

No way, it feels too good.

Knead and let go.

In Zhao Liying's eyes, Sister Mi in front of her suddenly revealed her beautiful and neat teeth:

"Baozi, you will be the captain of the first team from now on! Take my name on your back and ride on this vast ocean!"

"...???"

Zhao Liying did not understand the meaning of these words.

But looking at Sister Mi's bright and cheerful smile, which even revealed a heroic smile for some reason, she unconsciously nodded vigorously and followed the voice in her heart and agreed:

"Um!"

(Note 1: In fact, a normal artist contract starts with five years, with early investment and later profit model. The three-year contract setting here is actually a bit wrong, so the plot of "Yahoo and Huayi" was created to make up for it. Novels are based on life and higher than life. And this is the reason why these two sisters have been described in such a large space before. Not only Zhang Tianai, but also Zhao Liying's mental journey is advanced in this way, so that it will appear reasonable. Otherwise That kind of plot where you just bow down and bow down... I don't know what everyone thinks, but it feels very awkward to me. Moreover, these two people are actually very important supporting roles, not water... and from here on... Well, the Yangbeard Pirates have begun preparations for setting sail.)
