I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 305 303-The Voice Of CHINA-

Early 1 o'clock.

People at the second celebration banquet dispersed one after another.

Sun Ting and Wu Qiqi rushed over and helped Liu Yifei, who was drunk and unconscious, into the car.

"Brother Xu, let's go then?"

"Well, go ahead."

Xu Xin, who was also swaying, waved his hand:

"Send people to the house and come back. Safety first~"

"OK."

The car drove away.

Xu Xin lit a cigarette and walked towards the group of people chatting with each other.

Everyone drank enough.

After Xu Xin walked over, he put his arm on Big Laowang's shoulders:

"Shall we go too?"

"Okay...disband on the spot."

"Um."

When we arrived, everyone was picked up and dropped off by car, so it was OK to go home individually.

But because he came here with Lin Xinxin and Yang Ying, he asked first:

"Lin Gou, who are you going to answer?"

"Let's go together."

Wang Sicong said.

Xu Xin responded:

"Okay...baby, let's go too. I'll ask Zhang Jiao to take you back."

Although he asked Zhang Jiao to take care of Zhao Liying.

But after the last time, she never left Xu Xin alone after drinking too much.

He took Baozi back to the hotel, made sure she was okay, and then returned to pick her up.

At this moment, Cheng Hu, Sun Ting, and Wu Qiqi were sending the drunk Liu Yifei home, and the task of sending Yang Ying fell on him.

"Uh...Okay, Director Xu."

Yang Ying nodded in agreement.

Then I was chatting with my cell phone without knowing who I was talking to.

In the end, everyone went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.

After getting into the Volvo, Xu Xin leaned on the passenger seat and fell asleep.

Yang Ying sat in the back and sent messages to people all the way.

Zhang Jiao drove the car to the hotel where she was staying in silence.

She can't stay here for more than a few days.

Like Xu Xin, when the audition is almost over and the program is being recorded, a group of people have to go to Xi'an.

The same goes for Yang Mi.

The house over there has been sorted out.

Finally, around 2 o'clock, the Volvo finally stopped in front of my house.

Xu Xin got out of the car in a daze and started walking home.

After entering the house, I couldn't bear it anymore.

I stumbled into the guest bedroom and simply "smashed" it onto the bed.

Then nothing is known.

It was Zhang Jiao who helped him take off his shoes, filled a thermos of warm water and placed it on the bedside before returning to the other guest bedroom to rest.

A night of silence.

…

The total release date of "The Wind" is 33 days.

It will be released on June 12th and officially released on July 15th.

The movie has already sold over 130 million yuan in 7 days, and it is a sure bet that it will be a hit.

Including later DVDs, online broadcast rights, etc., it is also a huge profit.

Nowadays, even if the money is not in hand, after Xiying Studio's wallet is bulging, everyone has become more confident.

But for Yang Mi, there is another happy event recently.

That was the release of "Sword and Sword III".

On June 21st, "Sword and Sword III" took the lead in premiering on the Taizhou Fortune Channel in local Taiwan.

The reason why Liu Zhishi hasn't seen anyone in recent times is mainly because she went out for promotions.

The people of the Tang Dynasty also tried their best to make her the "little Liu Yifei", and let Hu Shi take her with her in all kinds of activities.

On the day of its premiere, the ratings exceeded 10%, breaking the ratings record for Taizhou TV dramas.

At the same time, it also broke the first broadcast ratings record of ZJ provincial TV series on terrestrial platforms.

Of course, this is not going to the stars.

The area where it is shown is limited to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas that can receive Taizhou Fortune Channel.

If the premiere on Star Channel breaks 10...

Then Yang Mi can just wait to take off.

But despite this, the ratings of Sword and Sword III episodes still gave everyone a shot in the arm.

After the success of Taizhou Fortune Channel, the crew started promoting the next channel location non-stop.

The Tang people also tried to invite Yang Mi to participate in the event.

Unfortunately, she rejected them all.

The role of Gu Xiaomeng in "The Wind" allows people to see not only Yang Mi's acting skills, but also her rising commercial value.

Even if she is pregnant now...

Even if she is married.

However, these doubts that were raised before "The Wind" appeared no longer seemed to be a problem after the release of "The Wind".

What happened to pregnancy?

What’s wrong with getting married?

The news of pregnancy and marriage came out before the movie was released. After the movie was released, Yang Mi not only proved that she could carry the box office appeal of a movie heroine, but her acting skills also appeared in the sight of all directors. among.

She is not a vase.

If only all the vases could interpret the protagonist like this in this small space of Qiu Shenghuai...

Then please get more vases like this.

Therefore, Gu Xiaomeng became popular.

Yang Mi is also popular.

And Tang Ren really hopes that Yang Mi can come and participate in the event.

But the problem is...from the beginning, they have never been able to control Yang Mi.

The role of "Tang Xuejian", the eldest lady of the Tang family in the Tang Dynasty, is also the product of a game between the two parties, each taking what it needs.

And now "Sword and Sword III" and "The Wind" have also achieved success.

The people of the Tang Dynasty wanted to invite Yang Mi, but they really couldn't.

Because they not only worry about Yang Mi, but also Xu Xin and Xiying Studio.

Xiying Studio even dared to cast Liu Yifei into the "protagonist" position...

Tang people...?

Amazing?

Do you want a break of arms?

Liang Binning has been suppressed, how many Liang Binning do you have?

Therefore, Yang Mi now has the qualifications that should not be underestimated, at least in terms of her wealth and background.

but……

Just when they were worried, suddenly, a quote appeared in the office of Tangren Film and Television.

"Sword and Sword III", three million.

The quoting party - Western Video Channel.

Immediately afterwards, they received a call from Yang Mi:

"Mr. Cai, I have been in Xi'an recently..."

…

The method chosen by the Tang Dynasty to play "Sword and Sword III" is jokingly called "rural areas surrounding the city".

I just want to put aside the national premiere on Star Channel for the time being.

Go to local station.

Just like beating monsters through levels, all resources are invested in local TV stations. We went from TV station to TV station, participated in activities and promoted in province after province.

Then, after the momentum has been built, it will finally be put on the Star Channel for nationwide broadcast.

This strategy is quite correct.

Every time the cast and crew go to a place to hold a fan meeting to promote, they will achieve very, very good results.

Moreover, it is also the best way to recover costs quickly.

Prices may be lower at local stations, but quantity makes up for quality.

The total investment in Fairy Sword is less than 35 million.

Although there are rumors of 60 million and some of 50 million.

In fact, the prices are all false.

Yang Mi only received 60,000 yuan per episode in this drama.

And the price she gave was within Tang people's psychological price range.

Local stations compete based on quantity.

On the one hand, the price is a bit low but acceptable, but on the other hand, Yang Mi’s words are already obvious.

Want to promote...

Let’s first release the TV series on Xiying Channel.

…

Xi'an.

Studio 5 of West Film Studio.

"I'm heading north all the way~leaving the season of love~~"

The song "All the Way North" was ringing throughout the studio.

Sitting on four red swivel chairs, Jay Chou, Xu Xin, and Lang Lang, including Yang Mi with a big belly, all had their backs to the stage that was still under construction, listening to Jay Chou's singing from the speakers behind them.

Lang Lang just came back from the United States.

He was caught immediately.

After a song was played, Jay Chou pressed the red button in front of him.

The electric shock of the swivel chair started working instantly, and he turned directly to face the empty stage.

The music quietly stopped.

Jin Guangcheng walked to the side of the four people.

The other three chairs were also turned around.

"This set of acoustics is the best I've ever heard..."

Yang Mi spoke first.

Xu Xin nodded:

"Well, she's right."

As soon as he said this, Jay Chou rolled his eyes and turned to look at Lang Lang:

"The audio track sounds fine, so why don't you try the vocals?"

"Okay, you can't tell anything just by listening to the audio track. Our program is not only about listening to music, but the human voice is also a top priority."

Hearing this, Jay Chou nodded:

"Okay, Deng Ziqi~"

"Yes, brother JAY."

Deng Ziqi, who had been silently acting as a transparent person next to him, quickly stood up.

It's summer vacation and she has some free time.

And passed the audition in Xiangjiang District.

In fact, it was just a formality.

As an artist of Jewel and an internal seed, on the one hand, her abilities cannot be said, but on the other hand, it is true that "The Voice" is the most suitable platform. She originally decided to release an album, but her plan was directly changed by the company.

Debut this way.

Although the media has dug out her as Jewell's artist.

But Jay Chou also told her that when the blind auditions began, she would not be in Jay Chou's team first. The second is that singing strategies and everything else are based on the instructor’s wishes.

On the premise of ensuring fairness to the greatest extent, everyone also wants to see how far this little girl can go.

But that being said...it is still inevitable to take care of them.

No, I brought them here to "warm up" and adapt to the venue in advance.

The auditions for "The Voice" will all end this month, and then the recording phase will begin on July 1.

It is expected that the blind audition recording will be completed within a week, and then the program production cycle will begin.

After all, the four instructors also have to select songs, make arrangements, and lead singers to sing.

These also take time.

The one-month production cycle can just squeeze out all the time needed in the middle of the program. At the same time, the time will not lead to a decrease in quality due to too much time.

"Go and sing two songs, the kind that cover all three ranges of mid-range, high and low."

"Sure."

The girl nodded, took the microphone and walked to the middle of the stage.

After thinking for a while, he said:

"Then... would you like a song called "It's Dark" and a song called "Hair is Like Snow" with a rising key?"

"puff……"

Xu Xin laughed again.

"..."

Jay Chou was speechless:

"Hey, can you please stop making weird sounds every time you want to sing Sun Yanzi's songs? It makes me look very stingy~"

"Young man, you are very brave, you dare to talk to me like this... Hey, Mimi, triple Kaiou Fist, destroy him!"

"..."

Yang Mi didn't even pay attention to him. She took her new IPHONE 3GS mobile phone and didn't know who to send a message to.

Xu Xin, who was asking for trouble, shrugged:

"Please begin your performance."

"Okay, Brother Xu."

Deng Ziqi responded and communicated with the sound engineer.

After waiting for about two or three minutes, the accompaniment of Sun Yanzi's "Darkness" was found, and the music started.

"When I was little..."

Sitting on the chair, Xu Xin listened to the singing of the girl he had discovered personally while observing her performance.

Needless to say, Deng Ziqi's voice quality is of course even Jay Chou agrees with.

There's really nothing wrong with it.

And her Typhoon...is okay.

Although he is still very immature, at least he has no stage fright.

The sound is extremely stable.

The bass is deep, the midrange doesn't shake at all, and the treble is explosive...so damn strong!

Xu Xin nodded his head after hearing this.

Um.

Deng SEIying~

Sure enough, I saw you right~

…

Before the two songs were finished, Yang Mi shouted to him:

"Quick, Shishi is coming in, go pick her up quickly."

"okay."

Xu Xin responded, left the chair and walked out along the passage.

Regarding "The Voice", he can't help much.

It's more about giving suggestions on the process.

When it comes to music, he is basically treated like a fool by Jay Chou and Lang Lang.

Especially this bastard named Zhou.

It seems that he has finally found the pleasure of humiliating him in his professional field. His mouth has been so bad these days!

"Oh, young man, do you know music well?"

"Eh? What did you hear?... Didn't hear anything? Oh!~~~"

"Can you master this kind of song?"

"Please, if you're a layman, please shut up about musicians~"

He was having a pretty bad time.

But it’s not enough that he doesn’t come.

On the one hand, Yang Mi's main business is currently focused on "The Voice". Now that "The Wind" and "Sword and Sword III" have already happened, she can basically let the future take its course. And "The Voice" was his idea. Whenever there was any inspiration or changes that needed to be made on set, he had to make the final decision.

On the other hand...

The climate in Xi'an is more or less better than that in Yanjing, making it comfortable to stay there. She was quite happy living here.

Therefore, she may have to stay here until "The Voice" starts airing.

His wife's orders are overwhelming, and he acts like a little bitch every day, doing whatever she is told.

Anyway...

He has nothing to do.

Walking out of Studio No. 5, which had been decorated with various audience seats and was much smaller than Studio No. 2, he first lit a cigarette for himself.

The current situation of "The Voice" is relatively clear.

It was produced by the "Sound of Nature" company and broadcast by Western Film and Television Station.

The Western Film and Television Station authorized the broadcast rights to the star station Shaanxi Satellite TV.

At that time, the logos of both TV stations will appear on the screen.

The benefit given is 30% of the advertising fee.

Shaanxi TV Station understands that Xiying’s TV station will not continue like this.

If "The Voice" becomes popular, then the price for the cooperation in the second year may not be that high. But by the same token, Shaanxi and Taiwan really can't come up with any good countermeasures.

I can't handle Xiying Studio at all.

So, 30% makes 30%. When will your Xiying Studio become a star? When will you not be able to get this money?

It doesn’t matter if you can’t get it.

When it comes to Buddhism... they have been airing "The Storm" over and over again for 7 years, and most people really can't compare to them.

The remaining 70% of the profit is divided equally between the two parties.

At first glance, this business seems to be losing money.

But the key depends on how you say it.

The two sides are now close partners, and the strategic significance is actually much more practical than interests.

"The Wind" is destined to be a big hit. After receiving the box office share, Xiying Film Studio will have more confidence to produce some works that were previously delayed due to lack of money or disagreements.

The speed visible to the naked eye can gradually get on the right track and regain a second spring.

Well, actors who are endorsed by Xiying Film Studio still have to fight for their own jobs. But at least the backers have confidence, and so do they.

It is impossible to say which company has been offended, or which company has waved it off. I can only choose to endure it silently.

This circle is quite realistic.

When times are good, flowers bloom.

When things go wrong, everyone wants to step on them.

There is something about Xiying Studio that Yang Mi values ​​more than money.

She needs it, and so will her future partners.

And these things are all the hard work of those who brought Chinese movies to the world.

It is a treasure mountain.

As for this treasure mountain, so far, it seems that only a limited number of doors have been opened.

All she has to do is be that gatekeeper.

Whoever I let eat can eat it.

Whoever I don't let you eat will starve to death.

Nothing more than that.

And now it seems...

"The Voice" is quite popular.

The youthful memories of countless people include guitarist Huang Yizhong of the legendary band BEYOND, and Han Hong, whose works are familiar to three generations of old, middle-aged and young people. They themselves also represent the style of Western music. They once became popular all over the world with their song "The First Snow in 2002" Later, Dao Lang retreated and returned to music itself, and Jay Chou, the Asian king who has been called a genius since his debut...

The announcement of these four mentors seems to represent the authority of "The Voice".

I believe that when the show actually starts to air, this fresh talent selection method will allow everyone to find the long-lost talent show that returns to music itself, which should be refreshing for everyone...

But now there is a difficulty.

That means the host cannot be found.

It's quite uncomfortable.

It looks like the show is about to start recording now, but the host hasn't found a suitable host yet.

Shaanxi TV station has no foundation as an entertainment host.

Moreover, Yang Mi did not want to have too deep involvement with Shaanxi Television. If the host became popular and Shaanxi Television raised the price, she would be in a passive state.

But the problem is... other hosts, good, excellent, familiar ones, are all controlled by various TV stations.

If you want to borrow it, no one will lend it to you.

She has also considered inviting celebrity artists.

But the problem is that for those who are famous, people will look down on your show.

If you don't want to be famous...she doesn't like it.

So it's a little stiff right now.

However, Zhang Wu promised to help find it, but he didn’t know which giant Buddha he invited to come over...

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a transport truck coming from inside the factory.

This is a newly "added" equipment to Xiying Film Studio this year.

The factory itself is quite large, so it would take quite a long time to walk. At the beginning of this year, we simply added some such courtesy cars.

After all... now it seems that the factory is no longer as deserted as before.

Every day some filmmakers come over with scripts or a director or something like that.

In order to prevent visitors from finding their way, several courtesy cars were installed.

The same style as the Olympic Games.

Before the car stopped, Xu Xin saw Liu Zhishi wearing a big sun hat waving to him:

"Hello, hello."

"Ha~ here we come~"

Xu Xin waved his hand, and after the car stopped, he handed a cigarette to the security guard who was driving.

"Thank you, Director Xu."

"It's okay, thank you for your hard work."

After saying hello politely, Liu Zhishi also got out of the car.

"Why did you come to pick me up in person?"

After hearing her words, Xu Xin made a joke:

"Then let her come?"

"Oh, don't... I'm even afraid that she will cause trouble for me. Because of publicity work, I didn't go to witness you two receiving the certificates... I feel terrible and guilty."

"Haha, it's okay~...Is everyone else here too?"

"Well, they are all at the guest house. Didn't I miss Mimi, so I came here in advance~"

Not seeing him for a while recently, Liu Zhishi's whole temperament seemed to have changed a bit.

Maybe it’s because I’m participating in various promotional fan meetings now, or maybe it’s for other reasons…

In short, I gradually started to smell like an artist.

However, everyone's relationship is relatively close, so it's not obvious yet.

Then, she looked around, pointed to the place outside that was being renovated...it looked like a passage, and asked:

"What is it used for?"

"The contestant tunnel...let me take you from there."

Xu Xin said, leading her to the passage.

But first he pointed to the equipment hall next to it, which was originally used to store equipment, but has now been converted into a waiting area, and said:

"This is where the players will wait for the game..."

Liu Zhishi looked inside and saw a long cabinet similar to a bar, followed by several rows of tables and seats.

The place is not small, at least three to four hundred square meters.

Air conditioning is being installed at the moment.

"There is air conditioning inside, where you can rest, and there is a free tea area. Whether you are a mentor or a player, it is free to have something to drink or something before the game."

"Can you also shoot?"

She looked at the areas that seemed to be reserved for cameras and asked in surprise.

Xu Xin nodded:

"right."

"... taking photos of people backstage?"

Liu Zhishi was really surprised.

"Yeah, you don't have to be so mysterious. Sometimes I think these off-court shots are quite interesting, so I add them. For example, you are a player and I am the host. Wait for your turn. When you go on the court, start taking some pictures of you in preparation from here. Then..."

After standing at the door and finishing speaking, he led Liu Zhishi to the passage that was still under renovation:

"There will be cameras on both sides to film you... Let's go, be careful, don't get scratched."

Seeing Liu Zhishi wearing fingerless sandals, he asked.

"Uh-huh."

The two of them walked along this road, walked through a long passage, and then came to an... L-shaped corridor decorated with a red background.

"This is the interview area. It's an interview before going on stage, such as asking you to introduce yourself, or asking you a few questions. Hello, what's your name?"

Suddenly, Xu Xin stretched out his hand in front of Liu Zhishi.

Liu Zhishi said with a smile:

"Hello everyone, my name is Liu Zhishi, I am a singer...haha~"

"Ha~"

Hearing her answer, Xu Xin also laughed out loud:

"It's like this, ask a few questions, or record the past, etc. After you finish asking the questions, those who accompanied you, you can walk here together."

Xu Xin pointed to the TV that had been hung up on the screen but protected by a dust cover:

"When you get here, your relatives will stay..."

"Are there any relatives?"

Liu Zhishi was stunned.

"Yes, I'm here to cheer you up. Otherwise, how lonely it would be to sing alone. When the people who accompany you get here, the TV will show you singing in real time. In Here, your relatives and family can share with you the joy of being selected, or they can comfort you immediately after failure..."

"Wow!!!"

Liu Zhishi's eyes lit up:

"It's so thoughtful, how did you come up with it?...That's amazing!"

"Haha~"

Xu Xin obviously benefited from the compliments from his friends.

Then, he led Liu Zhishi to continue walking forward.

After walking to a double-door door and walking in, there was another small room.

About ten square meters.

"This is your last waiting area. Adjust everything, and then when you walk out the door, someone will hand you a microphone..."

"Go on stage and sing with a microphone?"

"That's right!"

Xu Xin nodded:

"See this corridor?"

"Um."

"This place is called the Road to Dreams, the name given by Lang Lang."

"Start your dream journey from here?"

"right."

Xu Xin nodded and opened the last door.

A huge hand-shaped sculpture making a "V" came into view.

The giant hand also held a microphone.

Under the hand are five large characters and a line of English.

"-The Voice Of CHINA-"

"-Good Voice from Heaven-"

Looking at this sculpture, Liu Zhishi's eyes lit up:

"Wow...that's so interesting!"

"right?"

"Um!"

Liu Zhishi responded solemnly:

"I feel like this show will be a hit! It will definitely be a hit!"

"Haha~"

Xu Xin smiled and nodded:

"I'd like to lend you some good words~"

You may not believe it. I was thinking of a host role, and I was stuck looking up information for more than an hour... By the way, who do you think would be a better host?
