I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 434 432. Give me a step down

"Isn't this the flight that Director Xu is taking?"

Hearing Xue Haifeng's words, Xu Xin, who had just got in the car and lit a cigarette, smiled and nodded:

"Well, my family saw me running around every day, so they bought a plane. It's more convenient."

"..."

Xue Haifeng was silent for a moment, then laughed and said:

"Hahaha, that's not the case. Private jets are definitely much better than those fixed flights."

Xu Xin was actually quite surprised.

Surprisingly, it was Xue Haifeng who came to pick him up this time.

After finishing his work at Qinglong Village, he went straight to the airport and headed towards the Magic City.

The time now is around 4 p.m., and it's almost time to get off work.

When he was on the plane, he received a call from Xue Haifeng. The other party also said that he would come to pick him up, but he did not say that he would come in person.

Xu Xin thought he would let Hu Guang take Nazha with him.

However, as soon as this thought passed through my mind, I more or less figured out why the powerful man who controlled the distribution department of Shanghai Film Studio came here in person.

It should be about the script.

After all, after this incident happened, he called the other party and told him about the situation.

And his understanding of the Magic City is actually not very deep. I don’t know if all the “jianghu people” here belong to that kind of particularly rule-abiding style.

This city is full of life and wealth.

The city of dreams.

Even the smell of money is floating in the air.

Of course, that's not to say this is bad. As a business card of the Celestial Dynasty, the temperament of the Magic City must be in line with international standards.

Its own definition is also a first-tier economically developed city.

There is nothing wrong with this.

It’s not that he has any regional prejudice against the people in the city. He inherently thinks that “people in the city are more interested in money than people.”

Not that exaggerated.

He didn't know as much about the history and heritage of this city as he could read in the history books in junior high school.

It’s just that what he has come into contact with so far, whether it is Xue Haifeng, Hu Guang, Qian Pengcheng, or others, is that “money” or “economy” is a very intuitive way to distinguish everyone’s status in this small circle. measurement standard.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Where there are rivers and lakes, there are rules.

Let's not mention whether Xue Haifeng came under the influence of "rules". Speaking of facts, Xu Xin asked himself, what if he was Xue Haifeng, Liu Yifei was himself, Lu Yang was Qian Pengcheng, and the screenwriter was Zhang Jiao.

So, when I found out that Zhang Jiao gave Lu Yang a script and copied the content from Liu Yifei's own novel...

He dare not say whether others don't care or not.

But he will definitely take action.

Because that's the rule.

The person was introduced by me.

The relationship was established through me.

Now that you have a problem, as the "starting point" of everything, I must stand up and quell this matter.

Don't let a profit-driven guy affect the stability of your circle and partners.

Not to mention...this greedy guy even touched the tiger's butt.

He didn't know whether Xue Haifeng thought so.

But on my side, the rules are the rules in matters in the arena.

The rules are as big as the sky.

Otherwise, without rules, this "own" (Xue Haifeng) circle will have no prestige at all.

So, here comes the problem.

Is this what Xue Haifeng means?

Not sure.

Xu Xin didn't intend to take the initiative to ask.

It just depends on whether he can give himself an explanation for this matter.

So, lighting a cigarette, he smiled and asked:

"What is Mr. Xue planning for me to eat today?"

"steak."

Xue Haifeng responded with a smile:

"Didn't Director Xu be very satisfied with Roosevelt's dishes last time?"

"Hmm...it tastes really good."

"That's it. Today's steak is not ordinary. Is it the day before yesterday? The day before yesterday? They have a new chef there, he is very good. He is an internationally renowned steak cooking master, Thomas Keller's apprentice, a very powerful Michelin chef .”

"..."

Xu Xin didn't know how to answer Xue Haifeng's words.

How do you cook steak? Isn't it always cooked on both sides?

What's more...who is Thomas Keller?

Fine.

At this moment, the second-generation Northwest Coal Company is really down to earth compared to him, a gourmet from the magical city.

But it doesn’t matter, just treat it as gaining knowledge.

He also wanted to see what kind of flowers this steak could make.

He nodded and smiled:

"Then it looks like we can have a big dinner tonight."

"Haha, that's for sure. And there aren't many people tonight..."

Taking advantage of this topic, Xue Haifeng took the initiative to speak:

"You, me, and Hu Guang were afraid that Director Xu would have too much to drink and no one would be able to take care of him, so they sent the little girl here. As well as Mr. Qian, there are just a few of us."

Saying that, Xue Haifeng turned his head and glanced at Xu Xin.

After seeing that he didn't want to answer, I knew in my heart that the other party was waiting for my attitude.

After all... Although it seemed like they were chatting, when he mentioned Qian Pengcheng's name, the whole matter was actually settled.

Gotta talk.

As a matchmaker, he must have an attitude.

It is good that Tianyu represented by Qian Pengcheng is a subsidiary of Mango, but it would be a big mistake to regard it simply as a subsidiary.

Among its business scope, there is the category of "film and television drama production".

Not only is it the singer business of music programs such as "Happy Boy" and "Super Girl", they also have their own TV series and movie departments.

Not to mention the TV series.

They have a lot of hits.

Just talk about movies.

"October Siege", theirs.

"Eavesdropping" is also theirs.

Xiangjiang is now developing inland. Compared with the "return of state-owned to state-owned" like Yindu, private companies such as Yongsheng, Jiahe, Emperor, etc. also consciously moved resources to the inland in the early years. transfer.

Tianyu, Shanghai Film, and now Xiying, Huayi, Bona, etc., the leaders in this circle have long formed a combination of interests that can be both internal and external, and hidden in the city.

As for Xu Xin, a film director who suddenly appeared, and his wife, it is impossible for people at Tianyu not to be interested.

From the average person's point of view, these two people are indeed branded with strong Western movie labels.

In fact, the popularity of the variety show "The Voice" is directly comparable to Hunan TV's talent show, and it is suppressed steadily. Anyone with a discerning eye can see... This type of talent show will definitely dominate the next one... Let’s not say ten years, five years is for sure.

For such a popular draft, you don't put it on Hunan TV, but on Shaanxi TV... The geographical composition is so obvious, Hunan TV must stay away from you.

But this is not actually the case.

No one has trouble with money.

Only children can distinguish between love and hate. In matters between adults, there is only one reason why the other party does not accept your invitation, and that is because your price is not enough.

Therefore, after people from Tianyu saw "The Voice" and the potential of Xu Xin and Yang Mi, they learned that they had a small "owe" due to the incident in "The Grandmaster". After a favor, the action began.

And this script is their preliminary move.

Not to mention the director Xu Xin, the actress Yang Mi has gained a lot of confidence.

Because... Xiying's plate is not big enough.

It's that simple.

There is no hatred between Tianyu and Xiying, and there is certainly the possibility of cooperation between the two parties.

We give Yang Mi resources and then use our platform advantages to take her to the next level.

You become famous and make money, we make money and increase our influence.

This win-win strategy must be the most correct.

In the entertainment industry, there are only eternal interests and absolutely no endless hatred.

At least not at their level.

The starting point and final result of everything must be driven by interests.

Tianyu wanted to cooperate with the two, so they came up with Qian Pengcheng's script.

In this script, Tianyu has focused on the theme of "time travel" and wants to praise Yang Mi.

After she picked it up, companies such as Xiying, Shanghai Film, Tianyu, Yindu... Hong Kong Circle, Shanghai Circle, Northwest Circle... were equivalent to having a channel to start interoperability.

It’s not that there were no channels before, it’s just that… they weren’t as wide as Yang Mi.

Xu Xin is not as good at fighting.

not to mention……

These two people also have a company called Headwind.

There are also a bunch of artists under the banner who seem to be okay at first glance.

Yang Ying is very beautiful. She is famous as the host of The Voice. She debuted in Hong Kong and has the natural advantage of integrating into the Hong Kong circle.

Not to mention Liu Yifei.

In the past two years, Huayi has been focused on driving up the stock price, and he and those famous directors have been focused on infiltrating the Beijing circle. If it really becomes big, life may not be easy for everyone in the future.

They are all capital, and no one has less money than anyone else. Why do you eat meat and we drink soup?

Although Liu Yifei seems to be in decline at the moment, as long as she invests enough money, her income will definitely be higher than that of Yang Ying.

Lin Xinxin is Wang Sicong's cousin, and considering the relationship between Xu Xin, Wang Sicong, and Lin Xinxin, as well as Wanda's developing cultural tourism industry and theater strength...

He is the most natural and high-quality stock!

As for the little girl named Zhao Liying...

If nothing else is mentioned, is it okay to hold it up to add trouble to Huayi?

We will support those who misjudge your company!

Therefore, whether it is Shanghai Film Studio or Tianyu, the reason why they are so warm towards Xu Xin and Yang Mi is that they are really capable. But on the other hand, everyone values ​​longer-term cooperation.

and the interests behind the cooperation.

Otherwise, where in this world can there be so many people who feel like old friends at first sight?

And all the plans have been designed, and soon everyone will start to move forward step by step...

Tianyu took the lead in pouring a pot of paint on this broad road...

Someone bought the copyright of the novel themselves, but the script you got was sent to the other party after copying the story?

If Yang Mi hadn't bought the copyright of this novel, it would have been easy.

But the problem is that she bought it!

Right in hand.

Then, when the palette was distributed to several people from Qian Pengcheng...not to mention anger and the like, the most important things to do in this matter were already listed.

"Explain, communicate, express apology, and show attitude."

The favors of "The Grandmaster"...

It's no longer useful.

Although it can't be said to be repaid, it definitely can't be used here.

As for punishment and so on, it is all false.

The screenwriter named Yu Zheng may have some popularity among fans or on the screen.

Or maybe he is friendly with certain companies.

But so what?

Although Tianyu and Shanghai Film are not strategic plans, they are closely related to their future development and growth. There is a problem...

A witness?

One hundred Yu Zheng is not enough.

Therefore, he must come forward today.

Come forward and express your attitude.

The blame is all on that unlucky guy Yu Zheng. If the other party tells you how to handle it, then just handle it.

No matter what the screenwriter named Yu Zheng thinks, he has to endure it.

But when Xu Xin didn't speak, Xue Haifeng knew that he had to continue talking.

So he said:

"Mr. Qian has been really angry these days, and that screenwriter is too hateful..."

"ha."

At this time, Xu Xin chuckled:

"Regardless of whether it's hateful or not, he's quite smart. I've asked several lawyers about this script, and it's basically impossible to legally define it as plagiarism..."

"That's also plagiarism."

Xue Haifeng shook his head:

"Things that a discerning person can see clearly at a glance. Not to mention that he dared to copy Director Xu..."

"Haha, Mr. Xue, this is too serious."

Xu Xin laughed, but he roughly understood what Xue Haifeng meant.

They are trying to save this matter.

Because it was essentially a mistake from Tianyu, but Tianyu is also their important partner...

In this case...

Um.

Let’s take some reassurance first.

Thinking of this, Xu Xin said:

"His matter is not a big deal. It's just a misunderstanding. Mr. Qian's subordinates also acted sloppily this time. Mr. Xue, this is actually what I'm most worried about..."

"..."

Xue Haifeng's heart trembled.

I thought Xu Xin wanted to say something, but when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard:

"I'm afraid that because of his bad attitude, it will affect our friendship, especially Mr. Qian. I hit it off with him. If these "trivial" things make everyone angry, that's the last thing I want. See the results.”

He emphasized the word "trivial".

But a glimmer of light flashed in Xue Haifeng's eyes.

Is this an initiative to narrow things down?

That……

"Hahaha, that's for sure not."

His hearty laughter echoed throughout the commercial car.

"Actually, Mr. Qian has also been worried these days. He called me several times, saying that he was worried that Xu might mislead him and affect our friendship..."

"How is that possible?"

Xu Xin shook his head, his eyes full of speechlessness:

"Our friendship is not that fragile. After Mr. Xue introduced me to the big guys, I treated you all as big brothers, but we were very close to you. What's more, this kind of thing is not Mr. Qian's fault. I won't say it anymore. What?

This screenwriter is very smart, and he does this according to the lowest line of legal principles. There are so many online novels, so it’s normal that Mr. Qian’s people haven’t read “Bu Bu”... Hey, Gao Di De and Mr. Qian will have two more drinks in a while, and I’ll apologize. "

"Hahahahahaha..."

As soon as this "quip" was spoken, Xue Haifeng felt at ease instantly.

In one paragraph, not only did he praise Qian Pengcheng, Xu Xin also emphasized the sentence "Mr. Xue introduced me to him."

The subtext couldn't be more obvious.

It gave him face, and also helped Qian Pengcheng save face.

Just go down the steps.

That's easy.

After a while, hand the person over.

If you want to kill or behead, you can deal with it however you want.

This result...

If everyone is satisfied, that's fine.

As for that Yu Zheng...

Live or die, no need to care.

He's not qualified yet.

Let's talk about the situation. Counting today, my wife has been hospitalized for the second day. She moved in yesterday afternoon. My condition is now recovering well, and my coughing and other symptoms have eased a lot.

She was given 4 vials at 8 a.m., but there were many people in the respiratory department. The nurses dispensed medicines and administered injections one by one. The injections were usually given around 9 o'clock, and it was close to 12 o'clock when the injections were completed. In the afternoon, I started at 4 o'clock, 2 bottles, and finished around 5 o'clock.

This involves issues of eating and taking care of children.

I'm not a big shopkeeper, but friends who have children should know that it is unreasonable for children to cling to their mothers. It's really difficult when my mother is here. So during the stage when my wife was getting the injection, I walked around with the child the whole time, and then waited for the injection to be completed while my wife watched. Then at night, my wife and I went home to sleep, and then went to the hospital the next morning.

I get up early every day, go to bed early, and stay in the hospital all day long.

So these days I can only come back to write around 7pm, and go to bed around 10pm.

However, my daughter-in-law is recovering well and is expected to be discharged from the hospital in two to three days. By then, she should be able to restore the update to 10,000 words or even higher.

So don’t worry, it will take a day or two at most to get the word count up.

Thank you for your understanding.
