I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 299 297. Good luck (Thanks to the boss "Simuous丶" for being the leader again!)

The press conference continued in an orderly manner.

From the overall story of the movie to breaking down the interesting things that happened during the filming, etc., after about half an hour, the reporter's question session began.

All reporters raised their hands enthusiastically.

After all, today there is not only news about the movie, but also about Xu Xin and Yang Mi.

Even to put it ugly.

"The Wind" is only for those who are willing to spend money to buy tickets and go to the cinema to watch the movie.

But gossip is for everyone.

Which one is more important and which one is more important? The reporter obviously has a choice in his mind.

"Hello, I am a reporter from Wangyu Entertainment. I would like to ask Director Xu Xin. The movie has been released on June 12. Are you planning to compete with "Transformers"? Do you have the confidence to surpass it this time?"

Xu Xin took the microphone and nodded slightly, indicating that he heard the question, and said:

"In "Initial D", Takumi's father Buntai once said to Takumi: Remember, you must not have the intention to fight with others. The one you have to win is yourself. The same is true for me."

After speaking, put down the microphone to indicate that you have finished answering.

Quite concise.

But in fact, this is not what he really thinks.

The real thought in his heart is also: I want to kill "Transformers".

In other words, he knew he was outmatched, but he still wanted to use his sword.

They are all passionate young people in their early twenties. Who doesn't have a dream of being a knight?

However, this is what I say to myself and my partners. If he really took it out and told everyone, he felt it was a very stupid thing.

Forcing the opposite may inspire some people's "feelings."

But more than anything, Xu Xin felt that it was a manifestation of lack of confidence in himself.

For blacksmithing, first of all, you still have to harden your body.

Today’s Domestic Film Protection Month seems like a joke.

Stuck in a very weird cycle.

“No Hollywood blockbusters = no movie theaters.”

"Don't come to the cinema = domestically produced films (whether good or bad) will not have box office."

“No box office and problem with attendance = it’s the fault of the National Film Protection Month.”

"The National Film Protection Month is wrong = other works will not come."

If this cycle continues like this, the so-called domestic film protection month will really become a joke.

Even after Xu Xin decided to protect the release of domestic films during the month, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the above had only made verbal suggestions up to now, rather than actually implementing the approval. The main reason was that he himself might not have confidence in domestic films.

Your son can't stand up on his own, how can your father help you?

Of course, there may be various other reasons.

But at least after Xu Xin discovered this possibility, he felt that there was nothing wrong with the path he was taking.

I will fight the battles that others dare not fight.

It doesn't matter if you lose, as long as you can set a small "example" and prove that at least the National Film Protection Month is not a falsehood, then the goal will be achieved.

But there is no need to tell reporters these thoughts in his mind.

Their service attributes are different from theirs.

If you shout the so-called "Revitalization and Protection Month" slogan, you will definitely be greeted with overwhelming ridicule and criticism due to their hype.

Their ability to add icing on the cake is limited, but to add insult to injury is a first-class ability.

I have made no mistakes now. So King Kong is invincible.

But as long as you make a mistake, you will be rewarded with the Olympic halo, the youngest director worth 100 million yuan, a Cannes gold camera, etc... No matter how accurate the praise is, the scolding will be harsh when the time comes.

If you know this, why are you talking to them so much?

The reporters were obviously not satisfied with his answer.

Who are you talking about using lines from a movie?

"Then do you have confidence in the movie "The Wind"?"

The reporter didn't give up and asked another question before the staff took away the microphone.

Then he saw Xu Xin who had put down the phone and nodded.

A simple nod.

Without holding the microphone, he opened his mouth and said:

"have."

The reporters were speechless.

However, we were speechless and the interview time was limited, so we decided to change the target.

"Hello Yang Mi, may I ask how you define your future career plans? Do you plan to retire behind the scenes, or continue to come back after giving birth. Director Xu Xin, what is your attitude towards your decision?"

"Today is the "Wind" movie press conference. I will only answer questions related to the movie. Thank you for your support."

Yang Mi, who had been prepared for a long time, patiently listened to the reporter's questions and then directly decided on the tone of the interview.

…

The entire "Time Network" press conference ended calmly.

Strictly speaking, there is no explosive point.

The entire program went very normally, talking about movies and promoting movies.

If you really want to define it, it's like an ordinary movie conference, except this time there are more people involved.

But you really want to say there is something special about it.

Not at all.

But neither Xu Xin nor Xiying Studio felt anything was wrong.

On the one hand, it is just to promote the movie. What is there to talk about if we don’t talk about the movie?

The second thing is...the love life of these two people some time ago did not promote the movie enough?

Even people who didn't pay attention now knew that Yang Mi and Xu Xin were married and pregnant.

This is the publicity effect of personal fame.

But if you really take advantage of it, promote it all over the world for a movie, and use your private life to make a fuss...

Don't say whether Xiying Studio can do it or not.

Let's just say that Xu Xin will definitely not agree.

It’s not like I can’t survive, I have to rely on speculation to make money…

Why bother?

After attending the press conference of Time Network, in the evening, although Yang Mi did not attend, everyone still had a high-standard closing banquet at Qinchuan Yashe.

It's a pity that Zhang Hanyu didn't come.

He was the voice actor for the anti-trafficking campaign's first promotional animation, "Meeting Point."

The next process is quite simple.

Under the operation of Xiying Studio, the promotion process of "The Wind" started three stops in Yanjing.

An interview with actors from "Time Network" and Yanjing TV Station was given two and a half minutes on the evening news. The last one was a promotional interview for "Golden Shadow Flowing Sound".

Immediately afterwards, Xu Xin went to Shenzhen with Huang Xiaoming and Yu Xuan non-stop to participate in an exclusive interview with Tencent.com.

After the exclusive interview with Tencent.com, he went to Sohu to hold a fan meeting.

But this time Yu Xuan was replaced by Su Youpeng.

As a director, when working on "Secret", he obviously didn't feel what a real movie promotion cycle was.

But this time I really felt it intuitively.

Really busy.

One trip after another.

The answers were pretty much the same.

So does everyone else.

Even in order to promote the movie "Teacher Yu", Deyun Society's large and small performances, and Guo Degang's commercial performances are also sparing no effort to promote to fans.

"The Wind", which was already well-known, has gained even more expectations in the hearts of the audience due to everyone's busy schedule.

…

May 31st.

Yang Mi finally fulfilled her contract with her old club Rong Xinda.

Moreover, I sent a copy of my farewell letter to my "own" blog that does not belong to me.

The letter is not long, only a few hundred words.

Every line in the words is full of gratitude to Rong Xinda, "Er Li" and other directors who have worked with him.

There were no sarcastic words or incomprehensible torn words.

She didn't owe Rong Xinda, and Rong Xinda didn't owe her anything.

As an employee, after faithfully fulfilling the contract, she ended the contract and politely bid farewell to her old employer, just like the sentence at the end of the letter:

"This is not a farewell, just the beginning of the next reunion."

The same letter content was also sent to Yang Mi Bar.

Everyone knew that Yang Mi had left Rong Xinda. Even earlier, a brokerage company had been contacting Zeng Jia, inviting Yang Mi to join, and promising many preferential terms.

However, Zeng Jiadu declined.

And just when everyone thought that someone was offering better terms than their own company, on June 3, Chunling, which consisted of Yang Chunling accounting for 80% and individual shareholder Yang Mi 20%, Capital acquired 90% of the shares of a company called "Shuangwei Entertainment".

The remaining 10% is held by natural person shareholders "Wang Sicong" and "Zeng Jia" respectively.

Of course, this is only the initial stage of shares. There will be some employee incentives and share dividends later. The specific amount of those is unknown to outsiders.

In short, after a series of shelling, "Shuangwei Entertainment" began the operation of acquiring shares of the "Sound of Nature" music company.

After everything was handed over step by step, Yang Mi waited for her first signed artist in Yanjing.

"Sister Mi."

"Hey, here we come...Hurry up, wash your hands, we'll have dinner soon."

Seeing Lin Xingxin walking into the yard, Yang Mi responded with a smile, handed the spatula to Yang Dalin, and then walked out.

At the same time, Zeng Jia, who was sitting under the grape trellis and drinking tea, also stood up, looked at the handsome guy in front of him who was no stranger to him, and stretched out his hand:

"Hello, update, I'm Zeng Jia."

Lin Xinxin smiled and shook hands with Zeng Jia:

"Hello, Sister Zeng."

After letting go of her hand, Zeng Jia supported Yang Mi, whose belly was completely bulging, and sat on the wicker chair under the grape trellis.

"call……"

Yang Mi gasped, smiled at Lin Xingxin and said:

"Have you read the contract? Do you have any doubts?"

"finish watching."

Lin Xinxin responded and took out a folded contract from his bag.

"Everything is signed."

"It's so fast~ From now on, Sister Zeng will be your first agent. This summer vacation, she will take you to run a group first. She happens to have a few small roles on hand, and you can try them all. Then after the summer vacation, You will be assigned a second agent, who may be more specifically responsible for you... Just do it step by step first, and you won't become fat in one breath. How about it?"

Although the contract has been signed, Yang Mi does not really treat Lin Xingxin as an employee artist.

On the one hand, it’s the relationship with Big Lao Wang, and on the other hand, everyone has been playing games a lot lately. We were all very familiar with each other, but suddenly he used the tone of a boss and an employee, which seemed distant.

On the other hand... it was just like what she once said to Liu Yifei. The friendship of Shuangwei Entertainment may be greater than the interests at certain times.

Of course, this is definitely not to say that Yang Mi is soft-hearted or anything else.

It’s about a company philosophy.

Otherwise, this kind of occasion for signing artists should have been in the company, but now it happens at home, where everyone eats together and talks about things. This is a fundamental difference.

And Lin Xingxin agreed happily:

"No problem. How can Sister Zeng arrange for me to come... Where are Lao Xu and the others?"

"I went to promote the movie. That's why I called you here this time... After dinner soon, you will fly to Chengdu in the evening. Sister Zeng will be with you, and there is also a meeting there. You can follow this time. Maybe No one will know you, ask you some questions, etc... But the important thing is that you can appear in the photo and look familiar. In the afternoon, Sister Zeng will take you to our image designer to design your hair and everything. …”

Yang Mi arranged all the work for him clearly.

Finally made a joke:

"From now on, you will be the captain of the first team of the Yangbeard Pirates~"

Lin Xinxin was stunned...

"You also watch One Piece?"

Yang Mi grinned as wide as possible, stretched out her index finger and hummed under her nose:

"Gu la la la la~"

"Pfft...hahahahahaha~"

Under Zeng Jia's puzzled gaze, the two of them smiled happily.

…

Hong Kong.

"Sister Yifei."

"What's wrong, Tingting?"

Liu Yifei looked at Sun Ting who came into her room, carrying a handbag, and asked.

Sun Ting shook her head slightly:

"The company has started recruiting assistants, and I have to go back and be responsible for interviews and training. So... I have to say goodbye to you."

"..."

Liu Yifei's face froze.

Suddenly my whole body became uncomfortable.

In the past few months, she had become completely accustomed to Sun Ting's presence as an assistant.

no way……

It's so comfortable.

Not to mention the orderly arrangement of daily work and life, the most important thing is that as long as it is about work, I can always rely on Tingting as my shoulder.

Whether it was the details when he first met a certain director, or the forgotten details that Tingting promptly reminded him after they reunited...

Or maybe it's the kind of thing in life... To put it bluntly, before my aunt came, the brown sugar water had already been boiled. Auntie just arrived, and when she came out of the bathroom, the temperature of the brown sugar water became suitable...

This is something I have never felt since my debut...

The warmth that comes from professionalism.

And this kind of warmth and dependence has turned into a dependence invisibly.

So when she heard that Sun Ting was leaving, her first reaction was shock, but after the shock, she unconsciously thought of work.

But the problem is...she has no idea of ​​the work in the next few days in her mind.

It completely turned into paste.

At this moment, Sun Ting handed over a notebook:

"Sister Yifei, this is the work you will face in the next few days. I have communicated with Chen Jing before coming here. You can also take a look at it yourself. If there is anything that needs to be changed, you can discuss it with Chen Jing. "

"..."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei looked a little speechless.

Chen Jing is the new assistant she has been looking for in the past few months.

People from Xiangjiang.

I have also been working with artists in Xiangjiang for several years, so I am definitely qualified to work as an assistant.

But the problem is...

Chen Jing's way of treating artists is simply incomparable to Sun Ting's.

More like a nanny than an assistant.

It’s nothing more than bringing you water when you’re thirsty, ordering food when you’re hungry, etc…

But what about Sun Ting?

Their assistants are all-rounders.

From work to life, everything is well organized.

Others are nannies, but she is the most reliable and dependable partner in work and life!

The concepts of the two are fundamentally different.

But now Sun Ting is leaving... Although there is no one around her, but...

Seemingly thinking of something, Liu Yifei asked tentatively:

"Then Qiqi and Brother Hu..."

"We have to go together. In our opinion, Chen Jing is quite careful and qualified. She will definitely have no problem taking care of her life. Don't worry about this~"

Speaking of this, Sun Ting said something like normal:

"And she is a native of Xiangjiang, so she is actually much more familiar with the environment here than Qiqi and I. And she also has a better understanding of the rules of the entertainment industry here..."

This sentence seemed to be a good word for Chen Jing, but the fire in Liu Yifei's heart was stoked again.

What’s the use of having an assistant who knows which roads in Xiangjiang and which foods are delicious, or who knows where to go and how to get there?

Could it be...

I'm destined to stay here for the rest of my life! ?

No!

I do not want!

I don't want to stay here.

There are so many people here, so many paparazzi, so crowded...

Looking at her slowly frowning brows, Sun Ting thought for a while and said:

"Then...Sister Yifei, shall we meet again in Yanjing? I still have to communicate with Sister Baby about the schedule, should I leave first?"

"...?"

Hearing this, Liu Yifei was suddenly stunned:

"Baby? Yang Ying?...What's wrong with her?"

"Uh... we need to go together."

"...Why are you going?"

"Back to Yanjing. She wants to sign with Sister Mi's company, "The Voice", you know that, right?"

"Yes, I know. Jay Chou's variety show...it is said that it is also produced by Xiying Studio?"

Sun Ting didn't even need to think about it to hear her probing intention.

No way, it's too obvious.

Although... Ken can hide it better than before.

But in the final analysis, it is still...

Too tender.

But she didn't hide anything and said directly:

"Actually, it was Sister Mi who did it with Wang Sicong, Mr. Wang, Jay Chou, and several friends of Lang Lang. Wanda gave her a lot of support, and this is the focus of Sister Mi's next work. Then... Sister Mi can't let go of her past. Sisters who share hardships together feel that the baby sister in Hong Kong may only be a small artist for the rest of her life and will not be able to get ahead. She feels that the class in Hong Kong is too rigid.

The audience only recognizes the veteran actors, and the newcomers have no hope of getting ahead. Therefore, I advised my baby sister to come to the mainland for development. Moreover, the only host position of this variety show was given to her... Sister Mi said that if everyone can share the joys and sorrows, we can share the wealth. So this time baby sister came with us to sign a contract with Sister Mi’s company. "

"Well……"

The extremely true words not only revealed the cruel current situation in Hong Kong, but also reminded Liu Yifei of the scene when Mimi came to Hong Kong last time and talked about her plan to establish a company.

Especially the words "We are all friends, and friendship should be put before interests."

It made her heart more and more anxious.

And Sun Ting also accepted it as soon as it was good:

"Then...if there's nothing else, we can go back and pack our things?"

With that said, Sun Ting picked up the handbag she had been carrying:

"This... is a little bit of my own thoughts. Sister Yifei, you haven't had a good appetite recently, but you don't like to drink bitter things, so I chose some Cantonese sugar water. There are bamboo cane, water chestnut root, lotus seeds, lily, and red beans. sand, and peach gum, saponaria and white fungus for beauty and beauty... I have included the effects and written them in the notebook. If you feel uncomfortable or something, you can try it. I have tried all the flavors and they are all very sweet. It’s not bitter. Don’t be afraid.”

"..."

For an instant, Liu Yifei was speechless.

He looked at Sun Ting...and then at the brown paper bag in a handbag.

Finally, he nodded sincerely:

"Thanks."

"Hmm, this is what I should do... and thank you and Aunt Liu for taking care of me these past few months. Then... shall we go?"

"……good."

Liu Yifei responded, thought for a while, stood up and took her handbag, and took out a stack of Hong Kong dollars from the bag.

There was a stack of about ten or twenty thousand Hong Kong dollars inside.

She stuffed it directly into Sun Ting's hand:

"Here, take it."

"Ah? No, no, no, I..."

"It's for the upgrade, take it. This is also a little bit of my thoughts. Thank you for taking such good care of me in recent times... Also tell Mimi that I... will go back to find her soon. Then we will have dinner together. !”

When he said this, Liu Yifei's eyes lit up like never before.

…

"...After I finished speaking, she must have been irritated by the baby sister's incident. When I said I wanted to leave, she handed me 23,000 Hong Kong dollars, and then told me that she would go back to find you soon. once."

"That's it..."

Yang Mi on the other end of the phone nodded:

"She said she wanted to terminate the contract with Chen Jinfei. How is it going? How is the progress?"

"Chen Jinfei disagrees, but Sister Yifei is very determined. The two are now at a standstill... but Aunt Liu is wavering. I think the breaking point should be Aunt Liu. Sister Yifei also asked her father to Aunt Liu called, and then the two of them had a quarrel in the car over this matter. Aunt Liu was particularly disgusted with the idea of ​​Sister Yifei's father interfering with his daughter..."

"Ah……"

Yang Mi sneered.

His eyes were filled with a hopelessly stupid emotion.

I don’t know who I am “talking about”.

"Okay... I understand this. You did a good job, Tingting, thank you for your hard work. Come back quickly, I miss you."

Hearing this, Sun Ting couldn't help grinning.

"Hehe~ I miss you too, sister."

"Hehehe, then my three Zhuge Liangs should fly back quickly."

"Uh-huh."

"Remember to bring our little baby back well...and then you can quickly train my staff. It's time to get busy! You know!"

"Um!"

Sun Ting responded:

"I understand."

"Okay, I'm hanging up."

The phone hangs up.

Yang Mi was thoughtful.

At this moment, a phone rang again.

Yang Mi took a look and directly connected the phone:

"Alang, what's wrong?"

"Hey, Mimi."

Huang Junlang's excited voice sounded:

"Huang Haozhong, it's done!"

"Haha~"

Yang Mi suddenly laughed again:

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work!"

After exchanging pleasantries, the phone was hung up.

But it rang again immediately.

Seeing the caller, she answered the call:

"Hey, brother, what's the matter?"

"Who were you calling just now? The line was busy."

"To A Lang...have you received Lao Lin?"

"I don't care, Lao Wang went to pick it up."

"Oh... I have good news for you, Huang Haozhong, it's done!"

"Well……"

Xu Xin was stunned and said with a smile:

"Look, it's a coincidence. Director Zhang just called me... Dao Lang also agreed. With Han Hong, the mentors are all together. When will the official announcement be made?"

"After "The Wind", I won't steal the limelight from the movie."

"good."

"How's it going over there?"

"It's okay. It's said that there are a lot of reporters here... We'll see when the time comes. I'll hang up first and you take care of yourself. I'll go back early tomorrow morning."

"Uh-huh."

Yang Mi hung up the phone, gently put her hand on her bulging belly, and murmured:

"Look...baby, good luck comes when it comes~"
