I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 456 454. She moved her mouth first! (31)

April 11th.

10 o'clock in the morning.

Cai Yinong finally waited for a call from the person he "missed".

"Hello, Mr. Cai, I'm Tang Yan."

Just by listening to the voice on the phone, you can feel a sense of weakness and lack of energy.

Although it is indescribable, it sounds like this person has little strength.

Suddenly, a bad premonition suddenly filled Cai Yinong's mind.

She subconsciously cared about:

"Yanyan, how is your health? Have you been discharged from the hospital?"

Tang Yan still said in a breathless voice:

"Thank you, Mr. Cai, for your concern. He hasn't been discharged yet. He will probably be under observation for two days."

"Oh, it's so serious. I even said I would go see you..."

Cai Yinong said politely.

"No need, Mr. Cai. It's not very convenient for me here. Because this time it's a heart tremor caused by overwork. My family has cut off all work matters and visits from friends. I got the mobile phone with great difficulty today. I contacted Sister Ji. Knowing that you have been looking for me for several days, I quickly called you...and we couldn't chat for too long. My mother would be back soon and I would have to hang up. The doctor asked me to rest, so I couldn't. Overworked."

Tang Yan explained clearly.

It was so clear that Cai Yinong's mind became even heavier.

Not to mention the meaning behind Tang Yan's words, she could tell even in this voice that he was not suitable for working...

But tomorrow is the launch day of "The Stranger Iljimae".

The preparations for the crew have been completed, and contracts with each actor have been signed, including props, venue rental, etc...

Not to mention anything else, the labor alone costs hundreds of thousands a day.

The actors' remuneration and the staff's wages may seem "not much" at first glance, but after five or ten days, no one can bear it.

Therefore, even though she had an ominous premonition in her heart, she still asked:

"Did Ji Rujing tell you about our situation?"

"said."

Tang Yan responded:

"'Weirdo Iljimae', right?"

"Yes……"

As soon as Cai Yinong finished speaking, Tang Yan's apologetic voice rang out:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cai. I can't take on this drama. I won't take on costume dramas for a while..."

"We can use a substitute..."

"That won't work, my family won't agree. And... my physical condition is quite serious this time, and I really won't be allowed to take on such a movie with a lot of outdoor scenes. After repeated discussions with the doctor, I will probably have to rest for a month. Two months, and then I will take on some scenes that mostly take place in the studio. My heart needs to be nourished, and it will take at least a month or two."

Without hiding anything, Tang Yan revealed the "truth".

Really can't pick it up.

Most of the costume dramas are on location. The weather is about to get hot now. How about letting an actor with a heart problem do the filming?

What if something really goes wrong?

After Tang Yan said these words, Cai Yinong also knew that Tang Yan couldn't act.

She couldn't continue to plead.

Otherwise...it's just taking the other person's life as a child's play.

She is very optimistic about Tang Yan. After he leaves Chengtian and joins Tangren, Tangren will definitely be able to add another top level of combat power.

But now, because of a drama, she has left the impression that "human life is a waste" to the other party, and that's really not worth it.

"That's it...that's okay, your body is tighter than anything else..."

This phone call entered the stage of greeting and caring.

It ended with Tang Yan's words "Mom is back".

After it was over, Tang Yan sat in Ji Rujing's office and breathed a sigh of relief:

"Okay, I'm done with it."

"Um."

Ji Rujing responded, holding the script of "The Xia Family's Three Daughters of Gold" in his hand:

"Then prepare to sign the contract for this drama."

"Not yet."

Tang Yan quickly shook his head, his eyes gleaming with thought:

"I'm afraid that someone is lax and leaks the news. Wait... Anyway, the filming of this drama will only start in June. I will tell the syndicate first that I agree, but the signing of the contract will have to wait. Director Xia's leadership will not I like my contact with Tang people, but I don’t want to directly offend Tang people. Just calm down this relationship slowly."

"Okay. Just wait."

Ji Ruding nodded and agreed.

But within a few seconds, she suddenly said:

"Cai Yinong is a bit embarrassed now..."

"Isn't it?"

Tang Yan nodded.

Tomorrow "The Stranger" will start shooting, but the role change failed midway. After the crew started shooting, the actors were in place, and calculations of remuneration and wages began.

The original heroine Liu Zhishi was hidden. Looking at the female artists of the Tang Dynasty, except for Liu Zhishi, the others are all newcomers. Either they are not old enough or they are not well-known, and they cannot afford to hold the C position of a TV series.

But what if Liu Zhishi is reactivated?

That's a big joke.

For a management company, the most effective and most deterrent way to control artists is to hide in the cold.

That means you are completely separated from the entertainment industry and will no longer have any exposure.

Especially female artists.

Without exposure...how long can you be remembered in the entertainment industry with so many beauties?

Therefore, even an artist is afraid of hiding in the snow.

Even if you are an artist, you don’t want to be hidden.

This is a nuclear deterrent for artists. No one wants this bomb to fall on them.

But what if the snow hiding is cancelled?

If it takes effect for a period of time, such as a few months later, the person who has been hidden comes out to apologize, something like "I was young and ignorant and paid by mistake" or something like that. Just show your attitude first, and then the company will give you a step down. That's no problem.

At any rate, no one has been seen for several months.

How many months in a year?

That’s ok too.

No one wants to be hidden by the company and never get ahead again.

So this date actually needs to be flexible.

But in less than a week, the punishment measure of snow hiding will be cancelled?

The joke is even bigger.

The final means of deterrence has become no deterrent.

If you want to hide it, hide it; if you want to cancel it, cancel it.

Where is the company's reputation?

Who will be afraid of you in the future, who changes your orders every day and has no apparent deterrence?

But if you don’t cancel it, what should you do if hundreds of thousands of people eat horse chews every day...

Neither Tang Yan nor Ji Rujing continued.

But everyone knows it in their hearts.

This time...it was really difficult to ride a tiger.

…

Tang Yan understands, Ji Rujing understands.

Does Cai Yinong understand?

She understands too.

To put it bluntly, this question is actually a typical "Who do you save when your mother and I fall into the water?" fucked-up question.

The male lead of this drama has already used an "outsider" named Huo Jianhua. It would be nonsense to find another outsider female lead in the entertainment industry...

Liu Zhishi, you don’t have to, can you consider someone else?

Why didn't you look for someone from within the company, but instead looked for an outsider?

What does this make other female artists in the company think?

You can find people from within... The resources for female artists within Tang Dynasty are actually disaster-level.

First of all, they do have female artists, but they are all actors from Xiangjiang. And, the most fatal thing is that whether it is Guan Yonghe, Mei Xiaohui, Wang Yuwen, Zhang Qian... these actors in Xiangjiang are all very old.

The biggest ones are those born in the 1960s. The youngest ones are also born in the 1970s.

Therefore, although the Tang Dynasty did start with Xiangjiang actors in their early years, they began to cultivate their own actresses from the time of Liu Yifei.

At first, resources were allocated to Liu Yifei, but it turned out to be a source of great resentment.

Then I started looking for the second generation Liu Yifei.

After finding Liu Zhishi, he began to vigorously train her. As a result, Liu Zhishi is now hidden...

Then... Tang Ren couldn't take advantage of the actors it trained.

Although there are a few people who can act "pretending to be young", or people like Guo Xiaoting and Jin Chen who can "pretend to be old", the problem is that they don't fit the script, and neither do their roles.

But if we look for actors from outside, it’s really hard to explain to these internal artists who can be considered as the protagonist of "Yan Sanniang".

In the TV series of my own company, the male and female protagonists are not even the artists of my own company.

How does this give everyone confidence in the company?

Therefore, she is now inaccessible to outsiders and cannot be found internally.

What to do?

Feeling extremely uncomfortable, Cai Yinong sat on the office chair. The hundreds of thousands of dollars spent starting from tomorrow made her scalp feel numb.

Why is it so uncomfortable?

Why is it... so unsatisfactory! ?

She became increasingly irritable.

But he had to force himself to calm down and continue to think about countermeasures.

At this moment, the secretary knocked on the door.

A fatal blow was delivered:

"Mr. Cai, Director Li asked about the heroine. Because...the actor hasn't had a costume fitting yet, so he asked me to rush you."

"..."

The words of the famous director Li Guoli, the company's biggest reliance, let Cai Yinong know...

The matter of casting is already imminent.

As the most important partner, it is also the cornerstone of bringing the company to where it is today.

Li Guoli's words are easier to use than others.

And the way of relaying it through the secretary meant... that he was a little impatient.

He was the chief director of this drama, and he brought three sub-directors, Wu Jinyuan, Liang Shengquan, and You Dazhi, to film it.

Now that the crew is not available, he, the chief director, has to wait in Hengdian for the last piece of the crew to fall on the ground before he can leave with peace of mind.

His time is also time.

Thinking of this...

"call……"

She suddenly exhaled a shaky breath.

A decision was made.

"Let Liu Zhishi write a self-criticism and apology letter and post it on the company intranet. Then cancel her punitive measures and let her go to Hengdian."

"..."

The secretary was stunned.

There was a trace of speechlessness on his expression.

But it was only fleeting. Although she also felt at this moment that Mr. Cai's move... wasn't very good.

There is a tendency for companies to make punitive measures a bit of a joke.

But since the boss had spoken, she could only do it.

So he nodded:

"Okay, I'll contact you right away."

But the secretary didn't leave for long and quickly returned:

"Mr. Cai..."

"what happened again?"

A hint of impatience appeared on Cai Yinong's face, who had not yet recovered from the loss of his boss's dignity.

Although the secretary heard the boss's impatience, she still said bravely:

"Liu Zhishi...can't be contacted."

"...????"

Cai Yinong was stunned:

"what?"

"Liu Zhishi can't be contacted. I first called Li Minnian. After explaining the situation, Li Minnian told me: After receiving the penalty notice from the company, Shishi felt that she was too impetuous and told him that she planned to settle down during this period. For a moment, I hope to start over with a new look.

In addition, her mobile phone had been hacked in the forum before, so she changed her number directly this time. Li Minian doesn’t know the new account yet. Liu Zhishi said that she would contact Li Minian after she sorted out her mood... I called Liu Zhishi and it was indeed canceled and became an empty account..."

"...????"

Cai Yinong was stunned.

…

"Well, okay, I understand."

In the dimly lit studio, Yang Mi looked at the "heavy rainstorm" in front of her, holding up the phone with a smile in her eyes:

"Isn't this good? Some things are actually like this. If they are obtained too easily, it will give people the illusion that they will come and go as soon as they are called. It is also good to give some lessons, don't you think?"

On the other end of the phone, Li Minnian's expression was filled with wonder and emotion.

Although... there are some things that we haven't said clearly yet.

Even... Shishi might not be aware of it yet.

But he had already guessed it.

Mimi's goal is indeed Shishi.

And Mimi also knew that she had guessed her goal.

In several verbal attempts, it is self-evident that she always tied herself to Shishi.

So naturally during this period, the two of them were in constant contact.

It was even her idea to change Liu Zhishi's mobile phone number.

In Li Minian's view, the most unbelievable thing was... he couldn't figure out what method Mimi used to make Tang Yan refuse to accept the film "The Stranger".

Mimi didn’t say anything.

He couldn't guess either.

But precisely because of this, he could feel the terrifying energy of the other party... his future boss.

Tang Yan is not particularly hot, but the heat is not low either.

And she actually found a way to make Tang Yan, who had originally planned to come to Tangren after the contract ended, refuse to cooperate with Tangren...

It feels like a yellow hair appears silently, unknowingly disintegrating a pair of childhood sweethearts.

There must be something in the other party that makes Tang Yan either "fearful" or "rejoicing".

It's really too scary.

When Shishi was asked to change her mobile phone number, Mimi's guess now became a reality.

Once again, something was demonstrated in Li Minian's mind.

The couple didn't mention it.

Just the aura that Mimi exudes has filled Li Minian with awe.

She...understands people's hearts.

In other words, even if she doesn't understand people's hearts, she can still use means to make others do things according to her will.

Monster?

What kind of monster is a girl who is only twenty-four years old this year?

With wonder and awe in his heart, he naturally continued his respectful attitude in the past few days and asked:

"Mimi, what should we do next?"

"Nothing to do. Drag."

Yang Mi looked at Liu Zhishi, who was watching the crew busy in the distance with great interest, and chuckled:

"Ha. Asking my person to apologize to the whole company for plagiarizing a dog? How can she get such a big face?"

His words were joking, but his attitude was downright domineering.

In an instant, Li Minnian had the urge to throw his life and blood.

This kind of boss who knows how to protect his calf...

If it were placed in those passionate anime, just one sentence would make people couldn't help but follow her and follow her footsteps willingly! !

"Don't talk to Shishi about the self-examination now. Put it off for another week... No, one week is too much. Let her wait for two or three days, let her know that it hurts, and let her know how to treat Shishi. Let Shishi join the group. It's just to offend you, Brother Li. If she can't find Shishi, her anger will definitely be directed at you, Brother Li..."

"I'm sure I'll be fine. This time it's because I didn't protect Shishi well... Besides, as long as Shishi doesn't suffer any grievances, I don't have any problem at all."

"Haha~"

Yang Mi smiled even happier:

"From the first moment I met Brother Li, I knew that Brother Li must be a very, very good agent..."

"……hey-hey."

"Then let's do it. Anyway... no matter it's a storm or something, Brother Li, you're a little aggrieved this time. Shishi's self-criticism will definitely not be written. She made no mistakes, so why should she bow her head? Then after she joins the group, let her She can act with peace of mind, and I am currently working on the script for "Step by Step". The script will be available at the beginning of May at the latest, and I will send a film appointment to Tang Ren by then."

"...Send me the filming contract for "Bu Bu Jing Xin"? But "Gong Lock Heart Jade"..."

"That's what I want to say. Brother Li, you should pay close attention to "Gong Lock Heart Jade"... Well, I have been working on this recently. But Brother Li, you don't have to worry about these things, I am doing it. You just If necessary, just follow my instructions and go find Mr. Cai."

What he said was in the clouds.

Li Minnian listened in a daze.

But he didn't question it.

Instead, he responded very readily:

"Okay, no problem. Just give me your orders when the time comes, Mimi~"

Hearing this word, the young woman smiled again on her face:

"Well, that's okay, I'm hanging up."

"OK."

The phone hangs up.

There was also an order to prepare to start shooting.

Liang Chaowei stood in the wet rain again wearing a top hat.

Yang Mi, who gathered her mind, inevitably sighed again.

Yes, that's right.

This scene has been filmed since yesterday...it hasn't happened yet.

And Wang Jiawei has no idea of ​​filming other clips first.

He is like a muscle that can't be bent anymore. If this scene can't be finished, I would rather have a whole crew working here to keep it going.

"well……"

Sighing silently, she walked up behind Liu Zhishi, hugged her waist simply, and put her chin on her shoulder:

"how do you feel?"

Liu Zhishi ignored her friend's fussiness and pushed up her glasses:

"Liang Chaowei is so handsome..."

"Who told you whether he is handsome or not? I'm asking you what you think of this crew."

"...I have just been here for less than a morning and I saw this scene. How could I know?"

"Then just watch it slowly... pay more attention to the actor's expressiveness. He is currently fighting in a long shot, and there is actually nothing to watch. If this scene is finished and there is a literary scene, then you can watch it in front of the monitor. The actors in this drama are all very strong, and they are all focused on the drama and lines. It would be great to experience it more."

Hearing this, Liu Zhishi turned her face funny.

But because Yang Mi was resting on her shoulder, the tip of her nose touched her friend's cheek on one side of her face.

Yang Mi became jealous...

And the ignorant little sheep is still chatting awkwardly without knowing what danger is:

"Why do I feel that you are praising yourself? How about saying, "Except for me, the other actors in this drama are all very strong"?"

Regarding this sentence, Yang Mi just smiled mischievously:

"hey-hey……"

Then……

"MUA~"

"Hey you...wuwuwuwuwu..."

Before she could finish her words, Yang Mi, who had quick eyes and quick hands, covered her mouth:

"Shh! We're filming, don't make trouble!"

Stop making trouble?

Sister, who among us is making trouble?

Everyone is watching!

This time it was her mouth that moved first! ! !
