I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 425 423. Zhang Yi (Thanks again to the leader of "Neither Man nor Ghost" for the reward!)

March is the beginning of the school year for Xu Xin and the official start of this year’s work.

But for the entertainment industry, the first breaking news in March has come out.

The person who made this news is none other than our "old friend" Zhang Ziyi.

Zhang Ziyi - Fraudulent donation.

On the Tianya Forum, a netizen named "Where have the donations gone?" broke the news.

To elaborate, this matter is quite complicated.

Xu Xin also found out from Yang Mi, who said that Zhang Ziyi set up a foundation to raise money for the earthquake and squandered the money for herself...

In terms of details, Xu Xin didn't pay much attention to them.

Because at that time he was using a computer to compile work records for the director of "Bite of the Tongue".

But after hearing the general idea, he thought of Zhao Xinyu.

I don’t know if Aunt Zhao...is there anything else after this fraudulent donation.

Has she finished her combo punch...

…

"The new round of personnel transfer list will be announced below. Comrade Qin Yuanshan will be transferred to the Western Audio and Video Publishing Department with immediate effect...

Comrade Wang Lei was transferred to the Imaging Technology Production Office, Xiying's digital production base...

Comrade Gu Li...

Sui Haimin...

Comrade Xu Xin, then deputy director of the Translation and Film Introduction Office..."

On March 4, at the Xiying Studio leadership meeting at the beginning of the year.

As Tian Shuanghe personally announced a series of changes in personnel, applause broke out, representing the end of the meeting.

At the same time, Xu Xin was also applauded and officially took office as the deputy director of the translation and production introduction office, which everyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on.

His entry procedures were completed before the meeting started.

From today on, he is an official part of Xiying Studio.

Although there is still a contract, it does not affect both parties.

If Xu Xin wants to, he can continue to fulfill the 3+1 contract. But if you don’t want to film anymore, then it doesn’t matter if you keep throwing away the contract.

Starting from today, his pension insurance, medical insurance, provident fund, etc. will be paid monthly by Xiying Studio, and his monthly salary is also above the average level of XA City.

Every month, 7,350 yuan.

At the same time, business trips will be reimbursed, renting a house will be subsidized, room and board will be subsidized, and gifts will be given during the New Year...

Um!

The benefits are simply great.

As the deputy director of the translation and production introduction office, the number of employees under him is... 0.

It’s not that there is no one for him, but that there are only some old people left in the entire translation and production department who are about to retire.

The previous deputy director of the recruitment office just completed his retirement at the end of last year, and there is no one left in this department.

Not to mention that the factory has not imported foreign films that require translation for many years.

This department will be abolished this year at best.

But that's the only good thing about state-owned factories. Departments were abolished, but Xu Xin's staff remained.

At that time, normal transfer will be enough.

As for where he will be transferred...it's hard to say.

But no matter what, young people should first go to the grassroots level to practice and make their resumes more beautiful.

If you don't understand grassroots work, it's just a castle in the air and it won't work.

End of the meeting.

Ms. Liang Binning, the deputy leader of the actor troupe, stretched out her polite hand towards Xu Xin:

"Director Xu, congratulations on taking office."

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched...

Looking dumbfounded at this...the leader, who was nominally two levels above me, nodded and bowed, and responded respectfully:

"Hey, please give me more advice from my leaders in the future. I will definitely shine in my position and make my own contribution to film culture!"

"..."

This time it was Liang Binning's turn to be speechless.

Not to mention the polished commander, you speak the official accent very well.

He shook his head helplessly:

"Poor talk~"

"Haha~"

Xu Xin chuckled lightly, and just as he was about to speak, Qi Lei came over:

"Director Xu..."

"..."

Xu Xinxin said this, right?

So I became more "humble".

He bent down and grabbed Qi Lei's hand with both hands and shook it:

"Thank you for the leadership's cultivation! You will definitely live up to the leadership's high expectations! Strive for the rise of Western Film and Television!"

"Ah this..."

Qi Lei, who was so shaken that his brains almost came out, quickly pulled away his hand and said speechlessly:

"Why does this sound so awkward?"

"It's okay to be awkward. I'm such a high rise, Brother Qi, won't you treat me to a bowl of beef dip for lunch?"

"Haha, I have to invite you. Where's Bingbing? Can we come together?"

"OK."

Liang Binning nodded and agreed, and at the same time asked Xu Xin:

"When do you plan to leave?"

"If nothing happens, I'll go back in the afternoon."

"Then let's go together? But I have to be late. In the afternoon, the troupe has a recruitment assessment for actors."

"oh?"

Xu Xin glanced at her in surprise.

"That person..."

"Judge."

Liang Binning said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xu Xin understood.

Obviously, if the former deputy director of the actor troupe was just a false position, then... the current deputy director has begun to truly return to the factory as a "Xiying person" to contribute his own strength.

This is a signal.

A signal for deepening cooperation between the two parties.

Although it’s not clear whether it was the factory’s request or her initiative.

However, this is obviously a good thing.

As the facade, Deputy Captain Liang must shine from the inside out.

Then he would have to postpone his return.

Deputy Captain Liang joined the team because she and Qi Lei worked together. Since she wanted to work in the factory, she wanted to integrate into the group.

He and Qi Lei must go to the platform.

So, he turned to look at Qi Lei:

"Brother Qi, are you okay this afternoon?"

"fine."

Qi Lei shook his head with a smile.

He also understood what Xu Xin meant and said to Liang Binning:

"Shall we come together?"

"That would be great."

Liang Bingning smiled happily.

"Let's go then, let's eat a bowl of mutton and soak it in."

The three of them walked out together.

Didn't drive.

There is a steamed bun restaurant called Changshengzhai on Houcun South Road directly opposite the gate of Xiying Studio.

This is Xi'an, and no matter how bad the steamed bun restaurant is, it tastes much better than the ones from other places.

What's more, opposite the West Film Factory is the Xiying Factory Family Courtyard built by myself. If a restaurant can stay in this place for many years and still stand, its taste will be good.

After coming out of the office building, Xu Xin looked left and right, and asked in confusion:

"Why didn't you see Yang Tianzhen?"

"She didn't come this time. I plan to let her be the publicity director this year, but before that, she has to help me train a few assistants. This time she just came for a meeting. There was nothing wrong, so I didn't let her come."

"Oh~~·"

Xu Xin nodded, turned around and said to Qi Lei again:

"Brother Qi, weren't there a lot of people applying for the job last year? Our factory has a lot more people this year, right?"

"Well, there are about twenty or thirty more clerks in each department, right? I don't know the specifics. But the distribution company alone has eight more clerks."

"Main editor?"

"How is that possible, contract workers. They are selected to become full-time employees on the basis of merit. Most of them have graduate degrees or above, and there are also a few who came in through connections. There is no way, they are all old people in the factory, and they hope to find a good way out for their children. Mr. Tian is also in a dilemma. , they are all old colleagues, we have gone through sweet times and bitter experiences together.

Isn't it better now in the factory? Some people just want their children to come in and find a stable job. But the problem is that the factory has had problems before due to overstaffing.

To put it bluntly, why those directors couldn't be retained back then... A large part of the reason was because there were so many people, everyone had different opinions, and the speed of support and response was slow, and time was wasted on so-called meetings and discussions.

So now when we are faced with the things that these old people get into for their children through their connections, it is difficult to distinguish between human relations and reason, and some of them are really hard to save face... After all, we are not an impersonal unit..."

"Well……"

Suddenly, Xu Xin thought of something.

"I went to school two days ago to go through the postgraduate application procedures, and Teacher Yu told me that she has several graduate students who want to intern on the set when I start filming "Hawthorn Tree". Our factory is currently working with some film and television companies Do professional schools offer internship matching?”

Qi Lei was stunned...

"you mean……"

"Wouldn't it be enough to find a professional counterpart? If you want your children to come to the factory... you can go and take the postgraduate entrance examination. If you really love movies and let your children choose someone who is professional in this field, then take the postgraduate entrance examination and come with a professional counterpart. chant.

For example, if our factory and Beijing Film Academy set up a point-to-point internship unit, on the one hand, it can attract a large number of outstanding talents in the film and television industry. On the other hand, these old people who want to use connections to come in through the back door will also set up a threshold.

This threshold is the postgraduate major in film and television. If you are not a film and television major, it depends on the job requirements. If you are a film and television major, you can come directly to the internship. Once your work ability is recognized, you will be given a contract... Wouldn't this block a large number of related households? It can also attract professional talents.

Hard rules were put in place and loopholes were opened. Family members of retired employees are given priority in admission, but there is nothing you can do if your major is not suitable for you, right? "

"Well……"

Qi Lei thought for a while and nodded:

"That's the truth. It's not that our factory is incapable now, and it's not that we can't support so many people. We really need to change our strategy for recruiting internal talents."

Speaking of this, he smiled and said:

"We need to study this matter carefully."

"You two, these things you are talking about make me seem very incompetent."

Liang Binning was speechless.

But there was also murmuring in my heart.

How come Xu Xin can always come up with something in this regard...

Especially when he said these very "official" words, it felt like he had been working in a state-owned enterprise for a long time.

He is still in school, and he is still too young.

But when it comes to dealing with these things, the aura of being a seasoned person is so strong that it makes people think that they are dealing with some old cunning guy.

But it's normal for her to think so.

Even Xu Xin himself didn't realize why he was so talented in this area.

He always has a far better understanding of some official things than ordinary people.

Perhaps a year or two ago, if someone asked him why he was so "smart", he would attribute it to his original dream.

In that dream, he was arranged by Xu Daqiang to work in a state-owned energy company, sitting in the office and drinking tea for many years.

But now he can't even remember the details of that dream.

And these things don't matter.

The important thing is that he understands, he understands, and even he can do it, that’s it.

The three of them chatted all the way to Changshengzhai.

I didn't ask for a private room or anything like that, so I found a table in the hall and got three bowls of high-quality mutton dip and two cold dishes.

Just a simple meal.

Although some people took pictures and watched, most of their eyes were directed at Liang Bingning.

In front of the beautiful woman, he, the director, and Qi Lei, the head of the distribution company, had no sense of presence.

After finishing the meal, the three of them continued walking back to the factory.

Qi Lei went back to his office to rest, while Xu Xin went to Liang Binning's office.

Although she barely came to Xiying Studio last year, as the deputy leader of the actors' troupe, she does have her own office.

It's just not big.

Take a seat and make tea.

Liang Binning sat on the sofa and said to him:

"When does "The Grandmaster" start?"

"Start shooting in April."

"What about the child? Do you and Mimi leave?"

"That's not true. The child must be with her. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are also with her. The filming location is in Chikan, Guangzhou. I will rent a house there to live."

"It's quite hot in Guangdong in April, right? Children will suffer there..."

"That's not the case. It's also good for the children to adapt to different environments... I heard her say, Sister Bingbing, do you plan to star in "Zhen Huan"?"

"Yes."

Liang Binning nodded:

"That story is great. I have been chatting with Director Zheng recently... He insisted on letting me play the role of Concubine Hua. I said I didn't want to play the role, so I would play Zhen Huan... Do you think I am suitable for Zhen Huan?"

"How would I know."

Xu Xin shrugged:

"I haven't read the novel, nor the script. It was purely what she wanted to do... So what about the end?"

"It's just a normal audition. I've read the script anyway. If I'm well prepared, there should be no problem."

"You shouldn't be too busy this year, right?"

"How is it possible? My main job this year is business, and this year is a big explosion... As for dramas, there are only two at the moment. One is "The Orphan of Zhao" with Chen Kaige next month, and the other is "Zhen Huan", I asked Director Zheng... I estimate that filming won't start until the second half of the year. So it's totally in time."

She said her work was mainly focused on business, and she really wasn't lying about the big breakout.

Not to mention anything else, in January this year, she appeared on a national promotional video in Times Square.

I don’t know how many people were stunned by her appearance in blue and white porcelain.

Being able to participate in such a large-scale publicity event in a country is an affirmation of huge commercial value for artists.

In addition, her movies from last year will be released this year. Although it is unclear how much the outbreak will increase, this year's movie fans and netizens will definitely see her frequently in various news.

After saying this, Liang Binning looked at him holding the cup and suddenly said:

"Zhang Ziyi is in the news again, did you know?"

"I know, it's a fraudulent donation. I heard Yang Mi say it two days ago."

Xu Xin waved his hand:

"But these have nothing to do with us. Sister Bingbing, you don't need to pay attention to those things. Just develop your own."

"Um……"

Liang Bingning responded and continued to ask:

"What I'm worried about now is that if I suddenly come back and start worrying about work in the factory, some people will think that I'm here to compete for something...or to take credit from someone, which is a bit bad."

"That's okay."

Xu Xin responded with a smile:

"Everyone is here to work in the factory. Brother Qi's appearance this afternoon is equivalent to recognizing your work attitude. Then there must be no problem..."

Hearing this, Liang Binning felt relieved.

"but……"

My heart that had just relaxed suddenly tightened again.

"Now that you have chosen to learn more about the work in the factory, don't give up halfway. It's not appropriate to do it half-heartedly. Follow the big team and don't make mistakes. The support everyone gives you is all-round. This is what I can give Your opinion~"

He didn't choose to speak too clearly.

But Liang Binning understood.

In fact, it is easy to understand. She has already tasted the benefits of having Xiying Studio as her backer, so she wants to deepen cooperation.

Just like Xu Xin.

After all...everything he has done and achieved now is seen by many discerning people.

Everyone suddenly discovered that...in addition to jumping from one company to another, film artists have another path to take.

That is to submit certificates of approval to state-owned factories.

Moreover, the threshold is really not high.

Young actors can just join the actor troupe in the factory. As for the backbone, we can have in-depth cooperation with state-owned factories for mutual benefit. With top actors, we can become close partners and achieve win-win cooperation...

No matter which class you are in, the prospects seem to be pretty good.

This is really a...at first glance, it seems a bit "restoration", but it is a brand new choice for the current film and television industry.

Therefore, many people have begun to pay attention to the movements of these six major players.

At present, the first echelon is definitely from Xiying Studio.

It is purer than other film studios. It can be utilitarian, but not that utilitarian.

Suitable for actors who have dreams and want to make a living.

And slightly weaker than it... or more extreme, is Shanghai Film Studio.

Capital is king.

Make movies and make money.

As for awards...there is nothing we can do about this. The urban culture they live in and the consequences of those original impulses are all affecting them.

But it is also suitable for those who come to acting just to make money.

After that, there are the Beijing Film Studio and the Changchun Film Studio. One is trying to survive in the cracks between Beijing and China Film, while the other is in overall decline.

The last Zhujiang and Emei...at present, they don't show any advantages.

Therefore, if an actor wants to consider setting up a studio on his own, big actors currently have more options. They can cooperate with some well-known investment companies, let them invest in themselves, and then obtain resources.

But when it comes to the selectivity of some young actors, state-owned factories are obviously the best and most ideal partners.

But it's not without restrictions.

And the constraints are not small.

For example, the power is too slow, or the resources are too single, etc.

It depends on how you choose.

However, Liang Binning's approach really pointed out a clear path for everyone.

Everyone is thinking.

As the first person to eat crabs, Liang Binning naturally chose to go further at this time. Otherwise, if more people join, deputy captain Zhang, deputy captain Li, etc. may appear around her... By then, she won't be able to show her specialness.

Therefore, deepening cooperation and consolidating one's position in the factory is the best choice.

Starting from this year, Xiying Studio will no longer be a simple endorsement and backer. She wants to form a deeper partnership with the factory.

But now that Xu Xin is there, it means that what she does will be accepted.

She felt at ease.

…

After chatting in the office for a while, the two of them got up and walked to the actor recruitment site when the time was almost up.

When we arrived at the recruitment site, all the cadres of the regiment including the regiment leader Gao Huang were there.

Gao Huang is a veteran actor, the kind of actor who may not know his name, but must have seen his plays, and when you see his plays, you will know that you know him.

The old man is quite cute and has no official airs.

What's more, the leadership team of the actor troupe is still dominated by Xiying Studio.

We didn't get along with each other. We sat in the assessment area and chatted with each other.

However, his attitude towards Liang Binning was more polite.

As for Xu Xin, everyone paid more attention and intimacy to him.

Obviously, at this juncture, everyone still knows quite clearly who is their own.

But after a while, when Qi Lei arrived and saw him and Liang Binning chatting enthusiastically, everyone more or less guessed something.

But they are all old-fashioned, no one shows it.

Then, the clerk of the actor troupe brought over the information of the actors who applied for today.

One for each person.

Xu Xin was stunned when he saw the first person's information.

Name: Zhang Yi

Sex: Male

Date of birth: February 17, 1978

Place of Birth: HEB City, HLJ Province...

Representative work: "Soldier Assault"...

Seeing the title of this play, Xu Xin's mind flashed to the scene of Shi Jin, the leader of the squad, sitting in the car with a big red flower on his chest while recovering, laughing and crying at the same time...

Well……

This actor... in his impression, was really pretty good.

The leader owes more updates: 5 updates!

Thank you to the leader of "Neither Man nor Ghost"!

Asking for a monthly ticket!

I have started paying off my debt in the past few days. Please forgive me. In my current state, it is really my limit to be able to guarantee 14,000 updates per day.

But I will start to adjust, so don’t worry, the account will be cleared this month!

Although you may not believe it... because I seemed to have said the same thing last month and the month before that...

Ah this...

I will definitely work hard (serious face)
