I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 366 364. Finals, a double sword

Jiang Wenli came very quickly, and within 20 minutes after hanging up the phone, she walked in with a girl... who looked to be about 20 years old.

"Leader, Xiao Xu."

"Yes, Teacher Jiang."

Xu Xin stood up with a smile.

While saying hello to her, his eyes also fell on the girl behind.

I have to admit that Jiang Wenli put a lot of thought into bringing her here.

The girl wore Xu Xin's single ponytail that made Director Zhang sick these days. She pushed the hairstyle back behind her head, exposing all her facial features.

Strictly speaking, her appearance is not outstanding.

Of course, it may be because it hasn't bloomed yet, and maybe it will be more beautiful in the future.

But now it seems... I can barely score 70 points.

But it can be seen that no knife has been used on her face, and she is a very natural kind of girl.

As for the sense of time that "The Hawthorn Tree" wants...

I can only say so-so.

Seeing Xu Xin looking at her, Jiang Wenli remained silent.

After Xu Xin's eyes moved away from the girl's face, Jiang Wenli introduced:

"This is my niece, my sister's child, named Ma Sishi. Huahua, this is director Xu Xin, please say hello."

Following her words, the girl looked at Xu Xin and bowed:

"Hello, Director Xu, my name is Ma Sichun, and I am a junior student in the Broadcasting Department of Communication University."

"Ah hello."

Xu Xin smiled and nodded.

Only then did Tian Shuanghe say:

"Everyone, please sit down, we are not outsiders."

Several people sat down again, and Tian Shuanghe looked at Jiang Wenli and asked:

"Why did you bring your child here? Not going to class?"

"I heard that Xiao Xu is coming over and bringing his children to meet him. There is a holiday tomorrow, and there are no classes today. He is a junior, so the pressure from classes is not that great."

Jiang Wenli said and took out a red envelope from her pocket:

"Xiao Xu, here, I really couldn't make it back yesterday. I'll make it up for you today. Don't be picky."

"Haha, how dare you."

Xu Xin shook his head with a smile and took the red envelope:

"I have to thank Teacher Jiang on behalf of the two children."

"Why are you so polite...when will the auditions for "The Hawthorn Tree" begin?"

As she asked, she pointed at Ma Siwen and said:

"This kid has been obsessed with reading that book during this period. He has been making preparations without thinking about food and tea."

"day 30th."

Xu Xin said:

"On the 30th, we are still auditioning in Yanjing. But in terms of casting for this play, it actually depends more on Director Zhang's wishes. After all, I have not experienced that era, and Director Zhang has a rough impression in his mind, so when the time comes we will The two will work together. He will be responsible for the specific matters."

Jiang Wenli was stunned...

Obviously, the answer "Xu Xin can't make the decision" was somewhat beyond her expectation.

But she was relieved when she thought that the person who made Xu Xin unable to make the decision was Zhang Yimou.

The relationship between the two is known to everyone in the industry, let alone the factory.

It would be an understatement to say it is a legacy.

This kind of period drama, without Zhang Yimou's support, Xiao Xu may not be able to handle it.

At this time, Tian Shuanghe asked:

"Are you nervous?"

Helped Xu Xin change the topic.

Xu Xin smiled and nodded:

"Definitely. It feels like... handing in homework to the teacher. Especially this time, everyone in the factory is also known to Director Zhang... When I think of so many people surrounding me when I'm filming... …Do you think I can stop being nervous?”

"Then how about I come over too? ... I haven't slapped the table with Yimou in more than ten years. This time I'm on your side. Let you see how we quarreled at that time?"

"No, no, no... don't scare me. In the worst case, I won't make the movie, right?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Tian Shuanghe smiled happily.

Then he turned to look at Jiang Wenli:

"After all, Yimou's demands are so high, so it's normal for him to take control this time."

"yes……"

Jiang Wenli smiled and nodded.

Tian Shuanghe continued:

"Speaking of which, is this the first time that Yimou has been a producer for someone else?"

"right……"

The topic quietly turned to Zhang Yimou.

Tian Shuanghe became the leader of the conversation, as if talking about family affairs, and began to explain to Xu Xin how he and Zhang Yimou had a fight.

People all over the world say that Zhang Yimou has "your bullshit artistic ideas"... I guess he is the only one who deserves it.

The words are full of memories and memories of those years.

After chatting for a while, Tian Shuanghe obviously did not ignore Jiang Wenli and Ma Sichun, and brought the topic to the two of them.

However, before that, he said:

"Wait until the audition, tell Yimou about the relationship between this child and us. I must take care of my family's affairs."

A blank check settled the whole matter.

After hearing this, Xu Xin nodded vigorously:

"Okay, leader, I understand."

And he understood what Tian Shuanghe meant, and Jiang Wenli obviously understood it too.

This matter, at least at this moment, cannot be forced.

Jiang Wenli is not an ignorant person, so she naturally understands this truth.

In fact, if it weren't for her niece's future plans, she wouldn't be like this.

Although it is a bit regretful.

Because in her heart, her niece really suits Jingqiu's simple feeling.

…

After coming out of Tian Shuanghe, Xu Xin went to Booth No. 2 to take a look at the rebuilt Good Voice stage.

Shed No. 5 is okay for auditions and team competitions, but for live broadcasts, the venue is a bit small.

The final stage of "The Voice" was judged by 499 live audiences and 49 representatives from various media.

Mentors almost no longer play a decisive role.

The only thing they can do is to bring works that sufficiently reveal the contestants' personal style and make the audience inclined to vote during the chorus session between the contestants and their instructors.

Then, the players who advance in the first round will compete to determine the final champion, who will be voted on by the media and audience.

In fact, Yang Mi has also thought about imitating the SMS voting process of "Super Girl" and "Fast Man".

Not to mention anything else, with the ratings of "The Voice" now stably exceeding 4, although it may not be able to fall into the same referendum situation as "Supergirl", at least one yuan a text message ticket is still a lot of money. Not a bad income.

What?

You ask why you need to charge one yuan for text messages that cost ten cents?

It's very simple. You don't charge one yuan, but Hunan TV charges one yuan.

Who are you insinuating?

Easily offends people.

However, after repeated consideration, Yang Mi rejected this idea.

Although this can give everyone a sense of participation, it is difficult to ensure that the players have large-scale capital investment behind the scenes.

If there is one, if nothing else, a few million might be able to win a champion...

But that was inconsistent with the "no shady secrets" she had promised to her mentors.

If you want to do it, make a clean show.

In other words...the cleanest show possible.

She would definitely not do it to make her show fall into controversy and kill the goose that lays the goose to lay the eggs for the sake of those millions... which is only ten to twenty million at most.

And the 49 media she invited, including Ruili Magazine, are not small entertainment media.

Although they have also paid advertising fees.

Big media has the dignity of big media. At least in terms of fairness, they also have to consider their own feathers.

But if they cannot be fair and impartial, then companies that want to influence them will have to increase the size of these media, and their investment will definitely not be small.

Don't mention anything else, if a media doesn't sponsor you with 1.8 million yuan, it's really unlikely that they will give you this face.

After all, the price of seats given to them by Yang Mi was 500,000 each.

Five hundred thousand for one seat is nothing to these media who want to use "The Voice" to promote.

As long as they show their faces, they represent authority.

And this authority is also a double-edged sword.

If you want to push someone against your true feelings for the sake of petty gains... OK, I allow it.

But this time it depends on whether the money is worth it.

Regarding the voting rules of "The Voice", Xu Xin chose a method that looked the stupidest and stupidest, but was the most direct.

Direct voting system.

There are 49 media outlets, and one media outlet holds three votes.

499 spectators, one person, one vote.

The audience is randomly selected, and the list, contact information, etc. are all controlled by the people of Shuangwei Entertainment, and the work is kept confidential to the greatest extent.

The votes of 49 media outlets accounted for less than one-fifth of the total votes. Most of the votes were decided by the audience.

Even if they have the capital to spend a lot of money to buy out all the judges, they can't influence the number of votes in the hands of the audience.

And if you can really influence the votes of the live audience... then if you have this kind of power, you might as well stop making small moves.

Wouldn't it be better if you just package this player for debut?

As for playing here?

The world itself is full of injustices, and what Xu Xin can do is to find the fairest way for the players among these injustices.

The jury's vote represents media recognition.

The audience's votes represent everyone's approval.

There is no online voting, but these viewers come from all over the world and from all walks of life after signing up online.

Completely random selection.

Each spectator will be reimbursed for a round-trip air ticket, including hotel room and board for the 27th and 28th.

The plane was in business class and the hotel was a reception hotel cooperating with Xiying Film Studio.

This little money is nothing, a drop in the bucket compared to the huge profits of "The Voice". But in this way, you can slowly promote yourself and ferment word-of-mouth among the audience.

It's more realistic than any advertisement.

Today's "The Voice" has been sweeping through the music talent show like a tornado for four months, and it has finally reached its final stage.

Although it is not yet known what changes will be made in the second season, at least... Judging from the audience's recognition and the evaluation on the Internet, it is quite high.

When he entered the gate just now, he happened to see the expressions of joy, excitement and curiosity on the faces of the audience who had been invited by "The Voice" to visit the West Film Studio.

He was also quite happy.

…

The rehearsal process was conducted in secret.

But it didn't matter to Xu Xin. He didn't even take out his work permit and entered the scene by brushing his face with the security guard.

When we arrived at the scene, it happened that Deng Ziqi and Huang Xiazhong were rehearsing a chorus song on the stage.

He didn't bother anyone, just sitting in the audience, listening to this little girl singing BEYOND's classic song "No More Hesitation" in a high-pitched voice.

And...he had to admit that this girl was really prepared for a bomb.

She specially invited the BEYOND band.

I don’t know if it was Huang Guizhong’s idea or Jay Chou’s idea.

If it's on wheels...that's a bitch.

Throw Deng Shiying into Huang Haozhong's team and use the BEYOND band to raid other people's homes?

It's you who pays back...

"Oh oh oh~~~ Oh!!! I have my own story~"

Looking at the girl on the stage who was dressed in ordinary clothes but had an explosive voice, as well as Huang Jiaqiang, Ye Shirong, and Huang Xiazhong who played the guitar, they were filled with sighs when listening to this song.

Moreover, he also heard that Huang Jiaqiang and Huang Xiazhong were not at odds with each other...

I don’t know how I was invited back.

But listening to this song now...even if it was a rehearsal, it was indeed as good as a piece of music to his ears.

However, after singing it once, the few people who finished did not leave the stage.

The role of rehearsal is not to show the performance to the audience, but to find the shortcomings and how to achieve the best effect with various on-site equipment and present it to the audience watching the live broadcast tomorrow.

Therefore, people including the directing team, BEYOND and Deng Ziqi are constantly debugging and auditioning.

Logically speaking, each contestant's rehearsal has a time limit, but Xu Xin doesn't know how long it will take for the next person to appear.

After thinking about it, he didn't stay long, got up and left.

It's a good show... let's save it for tomorrow.

When he got out of the auditorium, he met someone face to face.

Xu Xin paused and asked:

"Li Ronghao?"

The young man in the turtleneck sweater was stunned, as if he didn't recognize Xu Xin, and nodded subconsciously.

"Oh~ come on."

Xu Xin finished speaking with a smile and left minding his own business.

Li Ronghao was left with a puzzled look.

But what he didn't know was... After Xu Xin walked a few steps, he whispered softly:

"It's really smaller than the eyes of a wheel."

…

The family had dinner at Zhang Qianqian's house.

However, not counting the full moon wine, Shenmu’s full moon wine is placed on December 5th.

After Yang Mi is born, the couple will definitely have to worry about these things for a while. After Xu Daqiang had a gathering with his in-laws tonight and the "The Voice" competition tomorrow, he would return to Shenmu.

I've been here for more than a month and haven't been back home yet.

There is also a pile of things waiting for him over there.

After dinner, the family returned to the villa in the Royal Garden.

Nuannuan and Yangyang had just finished eating and looked very energetic. They lay on the bed and tilted their heads neatly, looking at their mother standing in front of the mirror.

Although they couldn't see their faces clearly, it was instinctive for the two children to follow wherever the mobile canteen was.

And Yang Mi was standing in front of the mirror, trying on the clothes she would wear tomorrow.

For tomorrow's awards ceremony, she chose a suit-style high-tailored dress by ALEXIS MABILLE.

The black slim-fitting dress looks very suitable for her fair skin. While her curves are clear, it also shows the solemnity of a formal occasion.

Anyway, Xu Xin didn't know what others thought of him, but he watched with excitement.

Perhaps his gaze was a bit dangerous. Yang Mi looked at her brother who was staring straight at her like a wolf in the mirror and warned him:

"Don't cause trouble. I only brought this skirt this time. I dare to think too hard and I'll kill you!"

"Tsk."

Xu Xin smashed his mouth.

Sometimes, she feels like a... arrogant kitten.

The milk is fierce. The milk is fierce.

He obviously doesn't have much fighting ability, but he likes to scare people by grinning.

Still ruining me?

When did I fail to treat you obediently?

"Does it match stockings?"

Hearing this, the sisters who were combing their hair to look at the hairstyle made a resting movement.

A big white leg slipped and was exposed from the side seam of the skirt:

"How to match it? Give you a black ribbon with red edges?"

She was speechless.

This skirt obviously does not need to be paired with any stockings or other embellishments. Simply stepping on high heels can highlight your temperament.

And some stockings?

But after hearing her words, Xu Xin nodded:

"If you put it on now, I will be merciful and let you wear this skirt!"

"you dare!"

"Why shouldn't I dare? I've torn apart hundreds of thousands of pieces of Givenchy. Am I afraid of you? Hum, little sister~~~"

He subconsciously walked towards her.

"Sit down for me~"

Yang Mi glared at him angrily:

"I haven't been in the public eye for almost a year. I have to take care of myself. Don't disturb me. Take the kids~"

"Come on, come on..."

"Look at your squinting look~"

Seeing how Xu Xin not only didn't retreat, but even came closer, no matter how fierce the kitten was, it couldn't be aggressive anymore if it was grabbed by the neck.

Naturally, he leaned back into his lover's arms and looked at himself in the mirror...

"Am I getting old?"

"You are only eighteen years old, why are you old?"

"……hey-hey."

Obviously, she was very satisfied with the answer, smiling brightly in the mirror in Xu Xin's arms.

Then he put his hands on his hips:

"After the audition, I have to take good care of my figure. You tell me how lucky I am that I don't have stretch marks on my belly... I have to exercise quickly to develop my abdominal muscles."

"That's good..."

Xu Xin couldn't help but lower his head, burying it in her neck and feeling the fragrant smell.

"It would be better if I were a little fatter."

"fat?"

Yang Mi was stunned.

I looked at myself in the mirror...

"The kind of pear-shaped figure you're talking about? The one with a very big butt, a little thicker legs, and a very thin upper body? ... No, honey, I can't gain weight. And that kind of body shape is not easy to control the role. ...Everywhere I go, I look like a mobile fortress...How about I get in shape after I stop acting?"

"I'm just saying casually, I like whatever you become."

"Whatever you like about me, I will turn into whatever you like."

This was her answer after hearing her lover's love words.

"Then you are going to wear a black ribbon with red edges..."

"Brother, I'm kidding, I'm not familiar with you."

"Ha~"

…

Throughout the day on the 28th, Xu Xin didn't see Jay Chou's shadow.

Various aspects of "The Voice" are being prepared intensively. As the mentor of Xu Song and Wang Sulong, he will definitely stay with the contestants all day today.

So does everyone else.

Yang Mi went to the beauty salon to take care of her skin in the afternoon.

Comes with makeup.

When I came back in the evening, I didn't eat anything. After feeding Nuannuan and Yangyang first, I hurriedly saved a small 200ml of milk. After carefully instructing Xu Xin on various precautions when raising a baby, I ate After a few mouthfuls of noodles, he took Sun Ting and left with him.

Because they had to take care of the children, everyone including Wang Sicong stayed in the villa.

The two little guys were lying on the crawling mat, and Wang Sicong was entertaining the children with a few ding-dong-dong toys.

Not to mention, he is really patient with his children.

The most important thing is not that he can lead, but that he can really play.

There are only a few toys bought for children, and he plays with them more happily than anyone else.

Xu Xin was stunned for a while.

Even Xu Daqiang emphasized that Lao Wang would be a good father in the future.

The TV was also on, but covered with a dust cover.

Newborns cannot watch TV as it will irritate the eyeballs and cause vision problems. Therefore, unless the two little ones finish feeding at once and then take a nap, the three of them will only be able to listen to the live broadcast of "The Voice" today. .

But no one had an opinion.

Since the birth of Nuannuan and Yangyang, the focus of the family has naturally begun to shift towards the two children.

And when the time came to around 7 o'clock, almost 8 o'clock, Wang Sicong, who was tired of teasing the children, took the football he bought specially for Yangyang and started playing with Xu Xin.

Outside the guardrail of the climbing mat, the two of them were playing with each other, one by one.

Only Yang Mi was not here, so her nose was so angry when she saw this scene.

Xu Daqiang was sitting on the climbing mat, watching his son and his son's friends playing football, and occasionally teasing his granddaughter and grandson with a rattle.

They enjoy the happiness of their family happily.

From time to time he looked up at the clock on the wall, and when it was 8 o'clock, he reminded:

"It's started."

Xu Xin quickly took the remote control, reached under the dust cover and started pressing the volume.

After turning up the volume, I heard Sa Beining's voice coming from the TV:

"Welcome to the live broadcast of the finals of "The Voice of China", sponsored by Xifeng Wine..."

The finals of "The Voice" have begun.

…

Yanjing.

Tangren headquarters.

"What did you say? Someone bought it?"

Cai Yinong frowned:

"How come it was bought by someone? Weren't we always negotiating on price? Didn't you pay attention?"

"No, Mr. Cai, we have been watching. But when I reported to you before, didn't you say that the bottom line is 1.5 million? The other party insisted on 1.9 million and refused to take any less. You said that we should cool down the other party for a while. ...It's been less than a week, and I just made an appointment with Xiao Bin to have dinner, and planned to chat. But when I asked, I found out...that he had been bought by someone."

"..."

Hearing the voice on the phone, Cai Yinong's first reaction was:

"Who bought it? How much did it cost?"

"Two million and two million."

"How much? Two million and two million?"

Cai Yinong was stunned:

"Where did you get taken advantage of? Are you crazy? Two million and two million to buy the copyright of an online novel? How much does the copyright of Zhu Xian cost? Who bought it?!"

"...Xiao Bin told me that Xu Xin bought it."

"who?"

"Xu Xin."

"Yang Mi's husband?"

"Yes... Xiao Bin also said that after he made an offer, the other party didn't make a counter-offer and just decided directly. He couldn't help it. Xu Xin had a good relationship with several shareholders of Shanda. All he could do was to shout The high price makes the other party consider it... As long as Xu Xin hesitates, he can inform us... But he didn't hesitate at all..."

"Why didn't you inform me... uh..."

As soon as Cai Yinong finished saying this, he was suddenly stunned again.

This really can't be done.

When someone comes to buy something, you tell them the price and they agree, then you can only sell it to them.

If you tell them the price and they agree, but you don't sell it... then isn't it obvious that you are playing tricks on them?

Jinjiang obviously won't do this.

Even if Xiao Bin and Tang Ren have always had a good personal relationship, if Xu Xin is offended because of this incident... then his position as a manager will be over.

But……

She couldn't help but look at the TV, where the live screen of "The Voice" was hanging...

"Have you asked me clearly? Why did he buy that?"

"After asking, Xu Xin said that Yang Mi liked this book and bought it for collection."

"..."

This answer instantly made Cai Yinong's throat choke:

"collect!??"

"...Yes. Moreover, the other party bought very quickly. After the price was discussed and the other party agreed, the money arrived in Jinjiang's account in less than ten minutes. I bought it after 10 o'clock, and the contract was signed by fax before 12 o'clock. …According to Xiao Bin, it’s like competing for hand speed.”

"Um?"

Suddenly, the words of his subordinates made Cai Yinong feel doubtful.

After thinking for a while, she said:

"Okay, let's hang up now."

After hanging up the phone, she looked at "The Voice" on mute, with a hint of thought in her eyes.

After about a few minutes, she picked up her phone and quickly dialed another number:

"Hey, what are the contract negotiations, quotations and requirements that Yang Mi sent me a few days ago?"

"We didn't talk about the price, we just said we could discuss it, but we just asked for Huo Jianhua to be brought back. Immediately after, Huo Jianhua called Hu Shi, and Hu Shi also asked about the endorsement. But I haven't told him yet. .”

After hearing the other party's reply, Cai Yinong thought for a while and said:

"okay, I get it."

After the phone hung up again, she changed her number.

"Hey, hubby, what did you say about the endorsement of "Dream Zhuxian"?"

After asking and listening for a moment, she looked happy:

"Really? Can you mention it?"

"...Okay, it's no problem if it's not much. Even if it's lower than the market price, we can negotiate. With your news, I'll know how to operate."

"No, it has nothing to do with you. I'll take care of some things here... Well, okay, come back soon."

The phone hung up again.

And she glanced at the muted program on the TV again, and suddenly sneered:

"Cut me off?"

After saying that, he continued to dial the number on his mobile phone:

"Hey, contact Yang Mi and tell her that Huo Jianhua can come back and the price can be as mentioned before, but there is one thing... the copyright of "Bu Bu Jing Xin", let her give a suitable price!"

"...Don't worry, isn't she a righteous person? Since she likes to hurt her friends so much, let her do it. The copyright of this book must be taken back!"

It’s the last day of the month, brother, please vote for me! ! !
