I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 470 467. Director Video Be a Dog

May 8th, the 17th Yanjing University Student Film Festival.

In fact, from an academic point of view, the College Student Film Festival is purer than some commercial film festivals.

Its hosting concept is "university students watch, university students evaluate, and university students run it." From the aspects of the film festival to the review and control, most of them are controlled by people from the Yanjing University Student Federation.

As for history, I won’t talk about it, it’s all in the encyclopedia.

As far as status is concerned...it's actually quite famous.

Although the college student film exhibition that invited Xu Xin was one word different from it, in terms of status, there was still a big gap between them.

But it cannot be said to be a completely artistic palace.

Because as far as the main review team of the film is concerned, they are still a little weak.

In terms of gold content... it cannot be recognized by the mainstream.

And "The Wind" still received quite a few nominations at film festivals.

It is divided into two units. One is a TV movie, which is a digital movie. It does not go to domestic theaters and is only played on TV.

One is the main competition unit, and "The Wind" won "Best Director", "Best Picture", "Best Actress", "Jury Prize", and "Most Popular Actor" in this unit Five nominations.

But something strange is that in this nomination for "Best Actress", Yang Mi was replaced by Liang Binning.

They are not in the habit of giving double yolk eggs.

But Yang Mi had to come today because she was attending on behalf of her husband.

Her man is performing in the Shanghai World Expo's opening ceremony in Shanghai.

…

"Sister, how was the box office of "East Wind Rain"?"

Yang Mi, who was wearing a black dress, asked quickly after seeing Liang Binning.

Liang Binning shrugged, her tone erratic:

"It wasn't great, but the problem wasn't with me, it was with the entire director's rhythm. So... the box office and reputation were average."

Hearing this, Yang Mi nodded to express her understanding.

Liang Binning looked around and asked:

"Where's Sister Hua?"

"I said I went to catch up with some old friends."

Yang Mi also looked around, but didn't see Wang Jinghua.

At this time, she heard Liang Binning ask:

"Has anyone from the Beijing circle been looking for you?"

"without."

Yang Mi shook her head and said in a frivolous tone:

"Don't talk about the Beijing area, even my own people have never been here."

What are the people in Beijing looking for her for?

Enough support?

Do you want her to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, or do you want her to perform a half-step punch?

nonexistent.

She glanced at the Wang brothers, who were chatting and laughing with Huang Bo, Chen Kun and others, as well as Guan Hu and the others, and she didn't mean to be left out.

On the contrary, many people are looking for her.

This time without her husband to help her spread the fire, she had to run this social network by herself.

But the problem is that she is an actor, not a director.

Even if others come to greet her, they can't show anything to her. At most, it's just a matter of getting familiar with each other, saying a few polite words and that's it.

And let’s not talk about people from Beijing.

Wang Quanan, who didn't see through the suit, was chatting happily with others, Zhang Yuqi, who was wearing high heels and was taller than him. He didn't even have the intention to get close to her.

What she said was to remind Liang Binning to look over there.

Sure enough, Liang Binning followed the direction of her eyes for a day, and when she saw Wang Quanan, she was stunned and said:

"What's that woman's name...?"

"Zhang Yuqi."

"Oh yes, I remember...she is Star Girl?"

"...Does it count? It's true that she was in Hong Kong in the past two years, but "Star Girl" doesn't count, does it?"

Hearing this, Liang Binning shook her head slightly:

"It doesn't matter whether it counts or not. She can't compare with you, right?"

"It's us."

After correcting her title and covering her mouth with her mobile phone, she continued:

"The dominant power in the factory now belongs to us, and they are all being marginalized little by little. This kind of people...according to Xu Xin, they are abandoned children without any value. So sister, you don't need to be too warm. Just be aware of it."

"..."

Liang Binning glanced over there again and responded:

"Yeah, I understand... Why is there no action in the factory this year?"

"Don't worry, we'll wait until the exchange of resources with Yindu is completed. Didn't you see that the "Talent Exchange Center" planned at the beginning of the year has been postponed? We just need to discuss the next steps with Yindu. Besides, "The Voice" will be soon The recording has started. If you want to build momentum, it will basically be in the second half of the year. Just wait."

"...Tsk."

Liang Binning sighed with emotion:

"I found that I really lack this aspect... Who did you learn it from?"

"I don't understand this either. Xu Xin told me."

"Tsk tsk..."

The two of them were chatting there as if no one was around.

Until the red carpet starts.

There were a lot of people coming to Xiying Studio today.

People like Guo Zhengyi, Ji Jianmin, and Cao Jiuping are all here.

Not only because of "The Wind", but also because of Wang Quanan's "Reunion".

The film "Reunion" still follows the traditional Western Film Studio approach. Although Yang Mi has not seen the original film, she heard that it has been shortlisted for the Silver Bear Award.

It seems impressive at first glance...but it was actually nominated for Best Screenplay, so it actually has nothing to do with the director.

These old stubborns are thinking blindly if they want to use a movie to gain some say.

But while we keep our own affairs behind closed doors, in front of outsiders, Xiying Film Studio is still a whole.

So all the famous people in the factory who are related to the two movies are here.

Including Qi Lei.

However, the red carpet had not yet started yet. Qi Lei and the others also had their own circles and went to socialize and run business.

There are only three actors in the cast of "The Wind", she, Liang Binning and Huang Xiaoming.

But in this situation, Huang Xiaoming couldn't keep a very close distance from Yang Mi in front of his bosses, the two kings.

After all, at least at this juncture, everyone is clearly divided.

So he simply ran away and no one knew where the cat was.

…

"Mimi, Bingbing."

"Hey, Brother Qi."

"Mr. Qi."

Qi Lei walked over with a smile on his face, stood beside the two of them, and suddenly said to Yang Mi:

"Has Wang Quanan come to say hello?"

"without."

Yang Miyu smiled sweetly:

"If you want to say hello, I, a junior, have to do it for you. There is no reason for him to come over and say hello to me."

"Ha ha."

Qi Lei smiled and didn't say much.

He stayed next to Yang Mi and Liang Binning and didn't leave.

Not long after he arrived at this stop, people like Guo Zhengyi and Cao Jiuping also came over.

Then, the producers of "Reunion" Zhang Junying, Ma Rui, and Yang Lin also came over.

Then, the producer, Sun Yian, who was also the national first-level screenwriter of Xiying Studio, and Qi Lei's equal, and also the deputy general manager of Xiying Studio, also came over.

Yang Mi knew some people.

Yang Mi didn't know some people.

But it doesn't matter if she doesn't know him, because she stands here today and represents Xu Xin.

And Qi Lei standing here represents Tian Shuanghe.

then……

When Yang Mi saw Wang Quan'an approaching, she took a step back.

He gave up Liang Bingning's position.

So, naturally, the director of Xiying Studio, Mr. Wang Quanan, first extended his hand with his colleague, Ms. Liang Bingning, the deputy director of the actor troupe:

"Bingbing, hello."

Liang Binning smiled and held it:

"Hello, Director Wang."

As for Zhang Yuqi, who was laughing next to her...

Feel sorry.

Perhaps for people like Qi Lei, she is the deputy leader of the actor troupe.

But outside, she is Liang Bingning, a superstar who is firmly on the A-list.

There were really not many people who asked her to take the initiative to say hello.

After shaking hands with Wang Quan'an, she turned politely.

Yang Mi, who cooperated with her tacitly, took the initiative to extend her hand:

"Hello, Director Wang."

"Haha, hello Mimi, hello."

Wang Quanan said politely.

Then there was no communication between the two parties.

No communication is required either.

To put it bluntly, no matter what winds blow from east to west and north to west in this court, the actual situation is that whoever has the power will have a strong back.

Even Jiang Wenli knew that she had to bow her head to Tian Shuanghe, but who else would really dare to explode?

Even though everyone has different positions, at this moment, Wang Quan'an still took the initiative to join the team.

As for Zhang Yuqi next to her...

If no one else takes her qualifications seriously, who will care if she has spent thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi?

Therefore, those who have been paying attention to the news here are looking at Qi Lei, who has been proud of the past two years, and the backbone of the Xiying Studio behind him.

Then look at the "Mixue Ice City" which is much more beautiful than Huayi's "Double Ice Contest".

At the same time, I have to add to my mind the shadow of a famous tree that no one in the circle dares to underestimate even though he did not appear at the scene today.

Although Xiying Studio currently appears to be "alone" compared with other companies.

But...the scene before me has reminded many people who have been in this industry for a long time of the arrogant state-owned film studio back then.

It’s true that the wildfires never burn out, and the spring breeze blows them again...this group of people.

…

Before the red carpet started, Huang Xiaoming ran out of nowhere.

Today, Brother Xiao Ming is dressed in bright red, and he looks so coquettish.

But who calls people angry?

You see, as soon as he appeared on the stage, fans started screaming and cheering while holding his posters high.

But he doesn't have the blessing of Xu Xin who always looks like a suspect to his wife on the left and his aunt on the right.

Everyone stood side by side, with him on the far left and Liang Binning walking in the middle... This position was given by Yang Mi.

Let her go no matter what...

He seemed extremely humble.

But only she knew the actual situation.

Finally, there is Yang Mi on the right.

Their fans were also among the screams and cheers of the fans.

While signing, Yang Mi suddenly heard someone ask her:

"Honey honey honey, Xu Gou!"

"puff……"

"..."

Under Liang Binning's speechless gaze while holding up the signed copy, the young woman smiled so hard that her teeth almost fell out.

He covered his mouth and pointed at the guy who was laughing... he was probably a fan of college students, with eyes full of approval.

"He has something to do and can't come...but I will pass on your greetings to him."

"Haha, thank you, thank you, I wish you and Xu Gou a happy marriage!"

"Hahahahaha..."

In the footage captured by the camera, Yang Mi covered her mouth with a broken smile while waving goodbye to the male fan.

And Liang Bingning next to her had a strange look on her face...

After walking far away, Liang Binning said:

"If I were you, I wouldn't be happy. How could you say that about your husband?"

"Hahahaha... It's okay, it's okay, Xu Xin and them love each other and kill each other. I'll pamper my fans myself, and I'll give them whatever dogs I want, hahahaha..."

The relaxed look on her face was so eye-catching that when she came to the red carpet, the two college host's questions were:

"Sister Mi, you were smiling so happily just now. Did something happen?"

"Well, it's okay. I can gain the love of fans, which surprises me and makes me happy."

In front of the camera, she definitely can't cheat on her husband.

Otherwise it would be a joke.

You have to be more reserved.

"So that's it... So what are your or Director Xu's expectations for the awards nominated for "The Wind" this time?"

"Well, I had a special conversation with him about this before. His answer to me was: As long as everyone likes it. He values ​​everyone's evaluation more than winning awards."

After hosting and taking a group photo in front of the signature board before leaving the stage, Liang Binning couldn't help but ask:

"Did Xu Xin really say that?"

"How is that possible? He didn't care at all..."

Yang Mi shook her head slightly:

"But yesterday we called each other and he did ask about the nominations. The main question was about Best Actress. After I told her about the nominations, he said that he had read the novel "Married to Death" and wouldn't talk about it. Restore everything, if you can restore 50% to 60% of the essence of the character "Mi Xiang", then your loss will not be unjust, sister."

"Well."

Hearing this, Liang Binning smiled and shrugged:

"It doesn't matter. Didn't "Reunion" not be nominated for Best Actress? I think I have won."

"Haha~"

"Can you two stop talking behind my back?"

Huang Xiaoming, who was walking in front, turned around helplessly.

The two of them were laughing and joking along the way, making him seem to be isolated.

"Don't guess what girls whisper."

Yang Mi waved her hands indifferently.

"Why are grown men so nosy?"

…

"The 17th Yanjing University Student Film Festival, the work that won the "Best Director" award is..."

The entire audience was silent as everyone was waiting for Lin Changzhong from CCTV6 Movie Channel to announce the results as the organizer's award guest.

Not long ago, Tao Hong won the "Best Actress" nomination for "The Wind".

The "Jury" awards were given to "October Siege" and "The Lost City".

Apart from the less valuable "Most Popular Actor" award that Huang Xiaoming won, "The Wind" only has two awards for Best Director and Best Picture that have not yet been announced.

Good news, there is still a chance.

The bad news...of course, but the relatively bad news is that Wang Quan'an's "Reunion" is also in the competition.

The film festival has come to an end, and only these two most important awards are left.

Among the several split screens shown on the scene, in one of the split screens of "The Wind", Yang Mi looked calm.

It's not that she doesn't want to win awards. After all, her brother has never won the Best Director Award or the Best Picture Award since his debut.

Unexpectedly, he won Cannes and won two Best Actress Awards.

So she really hopes to win the award.

Even if it's not a "Three Gold" series of awards, at least you can get something to put your mind at ease first, right?

However, Xu Xin didn't care at all.

If others knew this attitude, they might think... Oh, Director Xu is so upright and honest, and treats fame and wealth like dirt.

But in fact, she knew...the reason why she didn't care was because she understood that "The Wind" was not enough to support his ambition.

And his ambition has never been to dominate the country.

With the national master Zhuyu in front of him, how could the elder brother just be satisfied with raising Gu at home, instead of going abroad like those fifth generations and announcing to the world the excellence of Chinese films.

so……

Even though she wanted to take it, she was still surprisingly calm.

I don’t even care about the outcome of “Reunion” anymore.

Just be patient and wait for the results over there.

Then……

""The Wind", Xu Xin. Congratulations!"

"Hua la la la la la..."

When the applause started, Yang Mi's reaction was slow for a moment.

Liang Binning, who was the first to react, had already stood up with other colleagues from Xiying Studio and applauded Yang Mi.

"Mimi, congratulations!"

After hearing Liang Binning's words, Yang Mi finally showed a smile on her face.

He grabbed her hand and stood up.

Then, she turned around and covered her chest, bowed slightly in several other directions, and walked onto the stage with a decent step step by step.

Strange spotlight.

Strange trophy.

But the moment she took it into her hands, she suddenly realized something.

That's it, this trophy...it's heavy.

Heavy.

It feels unusually good.

Is this...the weight of the best director?

She thought in hindsight.

Then he took the bouquet and came to the microphone.

She saw many people.

Celebrities, big shots, directors, actors...

These people's eyes are focused on themselves.

Then she spoke:

"First of all, I would like to apologize to the judges of the Eye College Film Festival, the teachers at the scene, and the fans and friends in front of the TV. I am not Xu Xin."

An almost "old" joke still made some people close to Xu Xin smile.

Then Yang Mi continued:

"Xu Xin is busy with the World Expo and really can't get away. Please understand. He also asked me to express his most sincere apology to everyone."

"..."

"..."

"..."

After these words were spoken, everyone present couldn't help showing expressions of astonishment.

Xu Xin...what are you doing?

World Expo?

? ? ?

The World Expo is not the Olympic Games. With him... Oh, yes, the World Expo seems to have an opening ceremony performance.

Seems to realize something...

Hiss~~~~

I don't know how many people took a breath of cold air.

One Olympic Games is not enough, how about another World Expo?

What is this person... going to do?

So what's the next step? Could it be the Winter Olympics?

Isn't it?

You don’t do this to brush up on seniority, right?

Why didn't you hear any news before?

But in fact, Yang Mi's decision was not a sudden decision or a slip of the tongue, but the two of them studied it and decided.

As for why... I can only say that the benefits are higher than the risks.

What's more, this is not a show off personally spoken by me, but a "sincere apology" expressed at a suitable opportunity.

Even if it is an exaggeration, after a wave of promotion to stabilize her status, if she misses any award ceremony in the future, even if she does not explain it, she can still create an impression in others' minds that "he is doing something again."

It's a blessing from God that I have such an opportunity.

And Yang Mi didn't pay attention to what these people were thinking, and continued:

"I believe it means a lot to my husband to receive this award, especially since I, as a substitute, attended the College Student Film Festival for the first time and felt the pure artistic atmosphere here."

Speaking of this, she glanced at the trophy in her hand:

"I hope that more outstanding filmmakers will emerge in our country in the future and bring more outstanding works. I also want to thank the crew of "The Wind", the director team, Xiying Studio, and all the people in front and behind the scenes for their efforts. I Xu Xin thanks everyone. Thank you."

After speaking, bow.

When she realized she had finished her speech, applause broke out.

Amidst the applause, she held the trophy and returned to her seat step by step.

…

"Next, we will announce the winning film for the "Best Film" of this year's Yanjing University Student Film Festival... The winner is... "The Wind", congratulations!"

"Hua la la la la..."

Yang Mi, who had just stepped off the stage and whose butt was still hot from sitting, stood up again.

This time, her mentality seemed calmer than last time.

"Thank you, thank you all the judges again...and I apologize to you all again..."

After finishing his acceptance speech, he stepped down amidst applause.

Yang Mi, who had won two important awards in a row, looked at the closing performance on the stage, and suddenly Liang Binning's words rang in her ears:

"Do you think Xu Xin is excited now?"

Yang Mi shook her head slightly.

My heart said how could I know...

…

"Hahahaha, Director Xu, congratulations!"

In the private room of Roosevelt Wine Cellar Restaurant, Xu Xin received a burst of congratulations.

"Thank you...I'd like to toast everyone with this glass of wine."

"Come on, come on, cheers!"

Xue Haifeng took the lead and raised the red wine glass high:

"Celebrating Director Xu becoming the biggest winner of this year's College Student Film Festival! Cheers!!"

"Dry!"

Xu Xin raised his head and drank the drink in one gulp.

Then after placing the cup on the coffee table, he looked at the time on his watch.

9:10.

So, he smiled and said to Xue Haifeng:

"Mr. Xue, it's almost time. Let him come in, right? It's not appropriate to always let people wait outside."

Hearing this, Xue Haifeng smiled and nodded:

"Okay...what does Mr. Qian mean?"

Qian Pengcheng also took a look at his watch and responded:

"Okay, since Director Xu has spoken, let's let people in."

As he spoke, he said to Wu Qiang, the driver next to him:

"Old Wu, call people in."

"Okay, Mr. Qian."

Wu Qiang responded and walked out quickly.

He opened the door to the driver's waiting room next to him.

He was exhausted mentally and physically from waiting inside...or in other words, he had been facing various difficulties and pressures recently. Yu Zheng, who looked a lot more haggard, stood up quickly.

"Angkor."

"...Well, Director Xu lets you go in."

Wu Qiang responded without raising his eyelids and did not enter the door. After standing at the door and saying something, he disappeared at the door.

And Yu Zheng walked out quickly.

After more than half a month, he finally understood what power meant. After walking into the double solid wood doors, he saw the few people staring at him on the sofa surrounding the TV...

There are no other thoughts in my mind at this moment.

Some, there is only one thought.

obedient.

Be a dog.

I just ask them to... let me go.

Don’t worry about Nazha’s scene. I will not spend such a large space describing an insignificant person.

She is useful, very useful.

The first is not a harem, and the second is not ambiguous cheating.

Her plot ultimately has only one purpose, and it will be revealed in this year's plot. She is an important supporting role in the span of "2010".

It’s not that I like or am obsessed with her. But it is useful and a reasonable application.

Just like Yang Mi in this book, I hope everyone will bring in only their faces, bring their faces in, and then treat them as a brand new character. After all, there is no director named Xu Xin in the real world, right?

As for the rhythm of making a movie...this has been a point of controversy from the beginning of the book to now. My book is not the kind of entertainment novel that is short and quick, conquering the country in two years, becoming internationally famous in three years, winning Oscars in five years, and making several movies every year.

So, can we make two movies without complaining about millions of words... Qiuqiu~
