I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 376 374 Cheongsam and White Socks

Chapter 376 374. Cheongsam and white socks

December 3rd.

Xu Xin did not see Zhang Yimou.

Since the live broadcast yesterday, "Three Guns" has entered the promotion period.

The old man's day consisted of an interview in the morning, a meeting in the afternoon, and an exclusive interview with reporters in the evening.

To promote "Three Guns".

But Zhang Mo didn't follow.

She is the assistant director of "Hawthorn Tree", so she must be busy with movies at this time.

All auditions will be finished today, and then there will be time for "Jinling" tomorrow.

At the end of the day tomorrow, Xu Xin and Yang Mi will take their children home that night.

This is also the first time for her to return to Shenmu. It is quite a grand event and the whole family has to go back.

After spending a whole day on December 5th, he went directly to Shanghai for a meeting, and then when he came back, he would start preparing for the filming of the short film "Deal".

Then after this weekend, the second round of auditions will begin.

The queue was quite full.

When Xu Xin saw Zhang Mo in the morning, he was pulled aside by Zhang Mo:

"My dad doesn't know about the conference game last night."

"...Then that recording of Welcome to "The World of Shadows"..."

"My dad knew about the "World of Shadows" thing. But what Zhang Weiping told him was the Internet linkage with Kaixin.com, and the people of "Three Guns" helped promote it and organized a themed event of "World of Shadows." He had to record a sentence. So he recorded a sentence on the computer and sent it to Kaixin.com. But he didn’t know that there was any game about Mazi Noodle House.”

Zhang Mo, who was originally in a relatively calm mood in the morning, had his nostrils expand subconsciously when he talked about this incident.

Clearly, she was angry.

"I originally wanted to find Zhang Weiping last night, but my dad stopped me. The copyright of "Three Guns" is in the new picture... From a legal perspective, my dad can't get involved."

"...Director Zhang is not a shareholder of New Picture?"

Xu Xin was surprised:

"He has no right to interfere?"

When this question came out, Zhang Mo was also stunned:

"you do not know?"

"……What?"

"The share composition of New Picture is Zhang Weiping 80 and Zhang Jing 20. My dad is just a contract artist. He signed a film sharing agreement."

"Zhang Jing...Zhang Weiping's lover?"

"Um."

"this……???"

Xu Xin was really confused:

"Director Zhang has no shares? How is that possible? No shares at all?"

"No."

Zhang Mo shook his head:

"When "New Picture" was first established, it was when my dad was filming "Something to Say". Gong Li stopped acting, so he took the money to invest and directly established the company. Later, when everyone started working together, my dad also There was no mention of taking a stake. However, the two of them split the movie half and half, and there is a contract. My dad thinks it’s better not to get involved in the company’s management, so as to maintain artistic independence.”

"But now it has become...the biggest constraint, right?"

"……Um."

Zhang Mo nodded and sighed slightly:

"He actually watched it quite openly. Anyway, this movie is like this... and the company wants to make money, so it doesn't matter. And for so many years, Zhang Weiping has always done the publicity, and my dad doesn't know much about this aspect. proficient……"

This is true.

Zhang Weiping is famous for his loud mouth.

Can blow.

Something worth ten million can be blown into one hundred million.

Why is it such a big stunt?

Anyway, he has the guarantee of the old man’s movie. No matter how much he boasts, the media and the audience will all accept it.

But now...

Xu Xin didn't know what to say.

There was so little he could say and do.

Is it possible that he wants to criticize the old man and criticize "Three Guns" as a bad movie?

Isn't this nonsense?

Why don't others mention it, but lock yourself in first.

But Zhang Mo was obviously unhappy:

"I don't know why he has to spoil him! Why..."

"...Okay."

He could only comfort his sister, who was older than him, and said:

"Let's go to the audition first..."

"Xu Xin."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhang Mo suddenly called him.

"……?What's wrong?"

"I……"

When she said this, she hesitated for a moment, and then continued:

"I tried to get him out of the new picture."

Hearing this, Xu Xin was stunned.

Then he understood what she meant, nodded and gave his unwavering promise:

"Well, I am your strongest support, Sister Mo!"

…

night.

When Xu Xin came back after a day of auditions, there were already several large boxes in the living room.

"I'm home?"

Yang Mi, who was holding her child, said hello.

Xu Xin nodded, took off his coat, stood on the side of the radiator to warm himself up, and said:

"What's in these boxes?"

"Specialty. Brought to the elders in the village. After all, this is my first time going back, so I must prepare more."

"oh."

He nodded:

"Actually, there's no need to bring so much. We don't lack anything at home."

"Not lacking and not buying are two different things... How was today's audition?"

"A few more actors were chosen...but they were all very different."

After hearing this, Yang Mi thought for a while and asked:

"I won't mention Jingqiu. As for the third child...don't you say that the fight between Lin Gou and a kid named Dou Yao is inseparable? If possible, can you digest it internally?"

"Lin Gou plays the third child?"

"Um."

Yang Mi nodded:

"Jingqiu, I won't blow your mind. But in my opinion, the role of the third child in the script is actually easier to handle. I think Lin Gou is quite suitable."

"Just let him prepare for the audition."

Xu Xin neither agreed nor objected to this proposal.

"I want to digest it internally, and I wish Jingqiu could also arrange it for Liu Yifei... But I still say the same thing, acting skills come first. Whoever has good acting skills and a higher overall score will be used... There is news about your "The Grandmaster" without?"

"have."

Xu Xin was stunned by her answer:

"Chosen?"

"No ah."

"Failed?"

"Nope either."

"What news is that?"

"No news."

"...???"

Looking at her husband who was unable to react due to her mental twist, Yang Mi let out two fart-like laughs:

"There is news. This news means there is no news! Do you understand?"

This time Xu Xin reacted.

Turns out she was really farting.

He glared at her angrily and then said:

"Tomorrow I will audition for "Jinling" with the old man. Those actors are all amateur actors, including that Ni Ni. After I review it for you, I will give you my contact information..."

"No, I'll just go with you tomorrow."

"……Together?"

"Yes, you have to see it with your own eyes."

She said with a smile.

Obviously, Yang Mi is also very curious about this person who may be the next new girl.

But her curiosity... According to Xu Xin's understanding of her, it is estimated that she is not the same as others.

Others' perception of Mou girls is that "Lao Mouzi" is good at picking out the buried diamond among the many girls.

But what about some people.

The understanding of "hunting for girls" is:

"I'm so beautiful, shouldn't it be natural for me to be a girl?" [Pinching waist, arrogant face]

Rather than saying that she is curious about Ni Ni, it is better to say that she is curious about what her "successor" looks like.

In the past, she was more beautiful than anyone else.

"Tsk tsk. Where does the sense of superiority come from?"

"Hey, I'm glad!"

A certain stinky king raised his head proudly.

The defect in the mandible is exposed.

Then……

"Give."

As soon as the child was thrown into her husband's arms, the tender cow opened the door and walked to the kitchen:

"Dad, what are you making something delicious..."

…

The audition for "Jinling" was still in the name of "Hawthorn Tree", so those who came today thought they were here to audition for Jingqiu and other characters in the book.

Even the location was moved to the West Film Studio just like "The Hawthorn Tree" in order to hide it from others.

Early in the morning, the couple arrived a little late because they had to feed their two children.

When the two of them arrived, they walked up to the corner of the second floor and arrived at the largest audition hall No. 3. Looking at the roaring crowd inside, Xu Xin's eyebrows were already raised.

Audition Hall No. 3 is usually used to select group actors.

It is different from Hall 1 where Xu Xin auditioned these days.

Hall No. 1 requires various characters to perform auditions for the director up close and intuitively, so its size is about the same as a classroom.

The actors came in to audition, collected their emotions in a relatively quiet atmosphere, and then began to perform.

But Hall 3 is similar to a school classroom with stepped seats.

In the early years, the West Film Studio used it to select dramas such as the war years, or some ethnic dramas, including large-scale group dances.

By the way, as a digression, the office of Xiying Film Studio is on the Chaoyang Transportation Commission side of Xidawang Road. It is a piece of land bought by Xiying Film Studio when it was at its peak in the early years.

And how big is this land...

Let's put it this way, Yanjing Children's Film Group uses half of its land.

After renting this land, a company building was built on the original site.

He built a building for the declining Xiying Studio for free in exchange for the right to use the land and a very favorable rent.

From the outside, many people only know about Yanjing Children's Film and not Xiying Film Studio.

But in fact, this building area is the land of Xiying Studio.

There are many seats in Hall 3, where the actors are waiting.

There is also a stage, and even a small T-stage is extended. This area can really be considered a luxury.

But...according to Qi Lei, Hall 3 had not been used for many years before this year...

After all, they are all designs from the early years, and they are indeed a bit behind the times.

But others can look at, think about, and ponder from these family backgrounds... what the scenery of Xiying Studio was like back then.

"There are so many people."

Hearing his words, Yang Mi covered her mouth and snickered:

"No..."Hawthorn Tree" needs so many people."

Xu Xin glared at her angrily:

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Don't worry, director. If I say the wrong thing today, you'll have to undress me one more time when I get home!"

Hearing this, Xu Xin thought for a moment and nodded:

"once."

Yang Mi's mouth twitched...

"Look at your perverted behavior! Just once!"

"twice."

"Don't push yourself too far!"

"three times!"

"Hi..."

"..."

She began to use her trump card.

The social cow attribute is turned on.

Xu Xin immediately didn't dare to say anything.

"Hmm."

He snorted proudly, followed his husband, and the two of them walked into Hall No. 3 together.

The appearance of the two people immediately triggered a spontaneous commotion among some waiting girls.

Along with this, Zhang Yimou, Yan Geling and others sitting near the radiator were a little distracted.

Not to mention the few young girls on the stage showing themselves off in model poses.

Xu Xin looked around and nodded:

"Sorry, we are late."

Auditions are temporarily suspended.

Zhang Yimou nodded:

"Come on, see you're late, I'll start for you first."

"Um."

The two of them passed the attention of countless people and walked over to the seats that were about one and a half meters away from the actors who were at least one to two hundred people in the waiting area behind.

Xu Xin's position was next to Zhang Yimou.

After all, this is the audition scene for "Hawthorn".

Yang Mi's position is on the edge.

She is not here as an actress today, but as a wife and companion.

So work came first, so she sat down at the side.

After she sat down, she glanced at the clothes rack next to her.

The first row is covered with Qing Yishui'er's cheongsam.

All styles and colors are available.

She took care of the suits of several rough men in the old Xu family, and before filming "The Wind", she also conducted in-depth research on Jiangnan cheongsam.

Moreover, the cheongsams in "The Wind" are also extremely particular.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been nominated multiple times by Fu Huadao.

As the eldest lady of the Gu family, Gu Xiaomeng naturally knows about cheongsam.

Not only do you know how to dress, but you also know how to look.

When she touched the cheongsam material next to her, she knew that these were just fake items.

The materials are average and the workmanship is average.

So I lost interest.

After Zhang Yimou waited for the two of them to take their seats, his eyes fell on the actors on the stage again.

Everyone was standing like a model, looking straight ahead.

After Zhang Yimou looked at it, he said:

"The second, the fifth, the sixth, the ninth."

A total of ten people gathered.

The person whose name was called looked very excited.

The girl whose name was not called automatically walked off the stage with some disappointment in her eyes.

Then, the staff member who was two rows of clothes racks away from Yang Mi picked up four sets of cheongsam of different colors that were next to each other and handed them to the girls.

The clothes they wore today seemed to have been requested in advance. They were all slim-fitting clothes and all black.

In addition, she is a bit thin, and paired with the black base, she doesn't look messy and fancy after wearing a cheongsam.

But when Xu Xin saw that she was wearing a cheongsam, she frowned.

He leaned into the old man's ear and whispered:

"You just put on the cheongsam? Will you expose too much?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yimou turned his face and covered his mouth and whispered:

"What I told them was that I was looking for the soft curves of "Three Mile Bay". Just give me a few words for a while."

Xu Xin understood the meaning.

Then, the girls put on cheongsam one after another.

However, it was obvious that two girls seemed to have never been exposed to this type of clothing, and they fastened their buckles very slowly.

After finally tying it up, for some reason, the hem of the cheongsam stuck to her legs as if it was covered with a layer of glue.

It looks nondescript.

It also made Yang Mi frown.

The two girls also discovered this problem and quickly wanted to lift the skirts of their cheongsams.

But no matter how you "fan", in the end the cheongsam is like a magnet, firmly attached to the legs.

Just when he was at a loss, Yang Mi's voice sounded:

"It's static electricity."

Her little breast sound suddenly sounded in the audition hall.

After getting the hint, the two girls realized it later... One of the girls didn't know what she was thinking. She bent over and slapped her cheongsam and thighs with her palms...

But it was okay if she didn't lift it up. Once she did it, the cheongsam and her legs stuck even tighter.

The girl panicked immediately and instinctively looked at Yang Mi for help.

Yang Mi was actually quite speechless.

But seeing the pitiful look in that girl's eyes... Although she was speechless, she couldn't bear to see the girl's plight.

He stood up directly and picked up the handbag he was carrying.

Her movement attracted everyone's attention.

Just watching her take out a... bottle that looked like an insecticide from her handbag.

The bottle has "EVIAN" written in red English letters.

Holding the bottle, she shook it and came to the stage:

"Silk is prone to static electricity. Don't worry if this happens. Just spray some water on it... Ordinary water will do. If you want to wear a cheongsam in the future, remember to bring a small bottle of mineral water with you and get a pressing duckbill. Spray the head...or simply fill an empty perfume bottle with some water. Spray it..."

"呲呲呲......"

As she spoke, a spray of water sprayed out of the bottle.

As soon as the water mist meets the cheongsam... the static electricity disappears instantly.

The skirt of the cheongsam naturally hung down from the girl's body.

"..."

The girls who were watching and waiting for the audition were suddenly filled with surprise.

He watched helplessly as she followed the same pattern and squirted on the other girl.

Four girls dressed elegantly in cheongsam appeared in front of everyone.

"thank you……"

The two girls quickly thanked them.

Yang Mi shook her head and casually put the bottle of spray she was carrying on the stage.

It means "whoever needs it can use it".

Then he returned to his seat.

At this time, Zhang Yimou couldn't help but laugh:

"So professional?"

"hey-hey."

Yang Mi smiled playfully:

"After all, it's you...ahem. The person you help Xu Xin choose must do your best."

"..."

The smile on Zhang Yimou's face became a little stiff.

Xu Xin looked at her with a simpler meaning:

"Four times!"

Director Xu wants to unspoken rules for you four times!

Go home, wash up and wait!

…

With Yang Mi's popular science, as expected, the four of them were no longer in the dilemma of cheongsam and static electricity.

But when it came time to show it off, Yang Mi's frown never relaxed.

Because... nothing they showed was right.

Director Zhang's request is very simple.

Ten actors came on stage and showed statically at first.

The selected person, wearing a cheongsam, continues the second round of static display.

After the static display, we started to take steps.

Walk around the stage, and then use the benches on the stage to show your sitting posture and concave static shape.

After the presentation, get off the stage.

After her bottle of mineral water spray was used for the ninth time, Yang Mi finally couldn't stand it anymore.

After thinking about it, she stood up and walked to Xu Xin and Zhang Yimou, covering her mouth:

"Director Zhang."

"Um?"

"This is all wrong. The kind of beauty you are looking for cannot be displayed like this."

"……how?"

"They're all walking in the wrong direction... Shall I go and help you take a sample?"

"...Okay. Come on then."

Zhang Yimou nodded.

He actually didn't know much about cheongsam and clothes.

After all, strictly speaking, these things are matters of obeying the Tao. He has his own mature crew and is the one responsible for holding the general direction. If you want him to figure out the details of cheongsam etiquette alone... then why do you need people like costume instructors, action instructors, and Fuhua Taoists?

Live for a living?

The director is meticulous in everything, which is a good quality.

But if everything requires the director's meticulous attention to detail, it's because of the incompetence of his subordinates.

After hearing this, Yang Mi responded:

"Well...please stop for a moment."

She stopped her step performance on stage.

Several girls were at a loss.

And she walked to the row of cheongsams, took a quick look, and selected a green satin and white mesh plain cheongsam.

Holding this set of cheongsam, she took off the fuzzy vest and sneakers that were in the way, and then looked at the pairs of high heels... Finally, she didn't even wear any shoes at all, and stepped on a pair of white socks, starting from her feet. Put the cheongsam on.

She puts on the cheongsam much faster than others.

After putting on the cheongsam, it turned out to be the mandarin duck buckle tied with one hand.

After tying it up, she looked at herself in the mirror and walked onto the stage without wearing any shoes.

Facing these two hundred girls, she said:

"Let me show you the correct posture. First of all, when standing, you should raise your chest and draw in your abdomen, open your shoulders and sink naturally, tighten your hips, keep your legs together, and the whole person should be growing upward...it must be natural. "

As she spoke, she took a deep breath and stood on tiptoes.

A "weird" scene happened.

She was obviously not wearing high heels, but she could rely on her bare feet to point to the ground. She was standing very steadily...

The whole person's temperament has changed!

Everyone felt...the big star in front of them was a completely different person.

Who is Yang Mi?

do not know.

But……

The special Gu Xiaomeng is out!

That playful and knowledgeable temperament suddenly emerged.

"Wow……"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Then, Yang Mi, who was not shaken at all, looked at them and continued:

"This kind of standing posture is different from that of a model. It needs to be more graceful, especially here..."

Pointing to his shoulder:

"Don't push it up. Relax naturally, from earlobes to shoulders, it is a state of natural relaxation. This is very important. If you don't know how to learn, just imagine that you squeeze your shoulders first, and then remove the force of your shoulders... "

Following her words, the girls next to her who were interrupted in the audition also began to imitate.

All of a sudden, everyone's bodies relaxed a lot.

"Then, walk. Remember, wear a cheongsam and don't walk on the catwalk. Of course, you are going to act..."

Suddenly, she stopped talking.

Blinked...

Looking at my husband's silent warning eyes...

"Ahem. The role you want to play has the needs of the director, and you can adjust it at that time. But first, you must walk slowly when wearing a cheongsam. When walking, remember that your upper body should be upright, relaxed, and the corners of your mouth should smile... …”

With that said, the girl with a dignified smile began to walk.

Step on "high heels" and walk gently.

Walk forward.

Walk slowly, walk steadily:

"Step by step, walk gracefully and gracefully. Don't deliberately show off the aura of the model, that is meaningless for cheongsam. This is Eastern aesthetics, while the model's catwalk is a display of Western aesthetics. There is a difference in nature... …Just walk slowly like this…”

After walking about six or seven steps in total, she turned around and showed her back to the big guy. She continued:

"Remember, the butt in the back is the natural beauty that appears with the twisting of the waist. It is not the kind of intentional twisting of the hips... Of course. The steps of those promiscuous women we often see will be larger, but It won't escape the graceful frame. Because everyone goes to brothels to have fun, not indecent."

She meant something.

But this time, it was watertight.

No matter how many girls looked at her perfectly measured steps, she walked step by step in front of several girls.

No need to say more.

These six girls, like Moses parting the sea, automatically made way for her.

It's like a welcome.

Welcome Phoenix Lord back to his nest.

Birds lowered their eyebrows and nodded.

"The following is sitting... Those actors just now, I don't know how you learned it, but your posture is wrong. Remember, when sitting down in a cheongsam, there is no such thing as touching your buttocks to press the folds of your skirt. This kind of movement... Let's talk about the Republic of China. During the Republic of China, even singers and dancers would not sit like this. Because it is indecent. Therefore, don't press your hands along your waist to the base of your legs. It's wrong. And it's correct. The way to sit is like this..."

As she spoke, she gently pinched the waistline on both sides of the cheongsam and lifted it slightly.

The slit of the entire cheongsam is about one centimeter too high.

Then, the whole person still straightened his back.

"Lift the hem so that it doesn't stick to your hip shape for the moment, and then sit down slowly. Remember, when sitting, don't sit completely, only sit on the front third. When sitting, your waist should also be straight. Lift, straight, Slow down, sit down, legs together..."

Finally, she put on a look just like the one in the stills of "The Wind", raised her eyebrows at everyone, and showed a faint smile like an elf.

"That's it. Do you remember everything?"

Following her words, the entire audition scene fell silent for a moment...

Then I don’t know which girl came and said:

"Wow……"

Someone takes the lead.

Then……

"Wow!!!!"

"Hua la la la la la..."

Amid the cheers and applause of the audience, Yang Mi Yingying stood up slowly and bowed, then walked elegantly step by step to Xu Xin's row:

"Director, how was my performance?"

Zhang Yimou said nothing.
