I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 471 469. Pastoral Dog

"Abandoned Mi Mi..."

Ah no, "The Abandoned Secret".

Original title: "The Art of Hiding the Heart".

As early as last year, Hunan TV had launched a TV series.

The screenwriter and producer is Yu Zheng, and the actors invited were all recommended by Yu Zheng. For example, Jiang Mengjie, who received a lot of attention even before her debut because of her fairy-like appearance in the casting of "A Dream of Red Mansions"... This was the person Yu Zheng recommended after working with Rong Xinda, who had lost Yang Mi.

The cooperation between the two parties has become very close since Yang Mi left, and she is one of Yu Zheng's main partners.

For example, He Shengming, Yu Zheng's leading actor.

For example, Luo Jin...

When this drama was proposed last year, Yu Zheng attached great importance to it and even spent a lot of resources to build momentum. It is bound to create a classic suspense drama.

result……

Suddenly it was rejected.

It's not that I won't shoot anymore, after all, the contract has been signed. Instead, it has been put on hold indefinitely. As for when it will be filmed... we'll have to wait.

What should actors do if their schedules are free?

It's simple, just follow the contract. It’s not that we won’t shoot, it’s just that we are temporarily delaying it.

If you choose to take these twists and turns of legal provisions to court, you will definitely win. After all, the contract in black and white is there... But the problem is that the compensation can't be much, and the actor's schedule has been adjusted.

If the other party does something bad, the long litigation period will be a difficulty, and it is impossible for several actors to accompany you and wait for the lawsuit to be won.

If these people go to film other movies, if Hunan TV is to be launched, then it will be even more fun to involve the actors.

Therefore, Yu Zheng did not dare to say anything.

Secondly...

Rong Xinda quit.

Inexplicably, I gave up my mind and didn't want to act in this drama again. Even the resources with Yu Zheng Studio were completely cut off, and the two parties no longer have the close relationship of "you are the actor and I am the director, and we all work together."

…

"The King's Woman".

Huanrui Century decided to invest in a TV series produced by Yu Zheng. Currently, it is agreed that Wanwan Xiaohua Chen Qiaoen and Huang Dao will play the leading roles, while artists Luo Jin, Yuan Shanshan and others under Yu Zheng will play supporting roles.

The script is currently in the project approval stage. After successful contract negotiation, it is expected to start filming in the second half of the year, premiere in the second half of next year, and reach stardom in 2012.

As one of the newly expanded channels, Yu Zheng would like to cooperate with Huanrui's people to expand the scale of his production company.

After all, their artists are very well-known.

Then what……

Huanrui's people suddenly canceled their cooperation.

He tried his best to find out the reason.

Someone greeted Huanrui.

If you dare to touch Yu Zheng's drama, it will be basically impossible for all the actors under Huanrui to appear on Hunan TV in the future...

Hunan Taiwan, Yu Zheng.

It goes without saying who can be offended and who cannot be offended, right?

…

Luo Jin.

Although he debuted early, he was always tepid in other TV series in his early years. In the recent broadcast of "Beauty's Scheming" on Modu Channel, he received a lot of attention.

The most intuitive manifestation is that there are suddenly more film appointments.

Therefore, strictly speaking, Yu Zheng is actually Luo Jin's nobleman.

And Luo Yan is... also quite down-to-earth. The so-called well-digger never forgets when he is ready. After gaining attention in "Beauty's Scheming", he began to cooperate in depth with Yu Zheng.

Yu Zheng really wanted to support him, not only for his own TV series, but also to help him find other resources.

A TV series called "Ah Cheng" and a "Mu Guiying Takes Command" have already entered the negotiation stage.

And then...gone.

The crews of the two dramas are like avoiding the plague. From the original warm relationship, they have now stopped answering the phone. Even if they call on another phone, they will only respond vaguely.

Luo Jin looked confused, not knowing what happened... The two crew members who were having a good conversation suddenly became like this.

But after Yu Zheng learned about this, he already knew something in his mind...

More than that.

During this time, his career has been more than just obstacles that can be described.

It should be said that it is besieged on all sides.

Directors who often collaborated with him shunned him, and some companies that maintained good business exchanges also rejected him after seeing him.

From investors to directors...many people have heard the news.

Yu Zheng offended Tianyu and the people in the Demon City. Anyone who dares to cooperate with him now will be giving eye drops to Tianyu and the people in Magic City.

No one knows whether the news is true or false.

But these directors and actors didn't dare to gamble.

What if it's true?

To be honest, Yu Zheng himself did not expect that he was worthy of such a "big fight" from others.

Originally, I thought it was just a Hunan channel, and it’s not like Hunan channel doesn’t have competitors.

Not everyone in the world wants to look at Hunan TV.

The risk was worth taking.

However, this kind of suppression from all aspects, from the TV station, to the director, to the investors and actors, this kind of ban... He really didn't expect it.

I never dared to think about it.

The water in the Magic City system is very muddy.

Many things are hidden and operated quietly under private companies.

And there was an invisible hand...or rather, only his own invisible hand, directly cutting off all his paths below.

Actors dare not work with him for fear that their own stardom will be blocked.

Investors did not dare to invest in him, fearing that their resources in other areas would be implicated in the future.

Not to mention the director...

A big director can't please himself, and a small director can't survive in this industry if he doesn't have the ability to adapt to the changing circumstances.

All of a sudden, his business was hampered everywhere.

And after many dramas that had already been paved the way were turned on, Yu Zheng knew...

This time, I made a mistake.

As a result, he surrendered faster than others expected.

After Huanrui, who had acted like a partner before, turned away and kept a distance from him, he knew that... he had to hurry up and turn around.

Not to mention, today’s companies are also affected.

His screenwriting team also began to panic.

Even the news from the headhunter is that many people have begun to contact his team and plan to change jobs.

What else to do?

What can be done?

He is not a man who cannot bend.

Otherwise, he would not have been taken in by director Li Huimin when he was in despair. He kept shouting "Master" one after another, but after his wings hardened, he immediately turned away and refused to recognize anyone.

The situation is stronger than the person, so there is no shame in bowing your head.

However, after finding Qian Pengcheng and surrendering, there was no movement at all.

It's as if his submissive attitude doesn't exist.

And this situation has continued from April to now.

This month, nearly 30 of his employees have resigned and switched jobs.

The so-called business cooperation phone numbers are even more sparse.

An all-round pressure swept over me.

However, the decline of his career will not stop because of his misery.

At the end of April, his company was ordered to suspend operations for rectification.

The reason is that the fire protection problem is unqualified, and business is not allowed until the acceptance is passed.

The company's door has been closed since April 29th.

At this time, Yu Zheng was completely panicked.

The company is his blood.

Seeing that his years of hard work were about to be ruined... Moreover, midway through, he also received a call from the Minhang Taxation Bureau. There was also a problem with his tax details...

Maybe the next step is to investigate him.

At this moment, Yu Zheng finally realized what price he had to pay for what he had done in a fit of enthusiasm.

So, he found Qian Pengcheng for the second time.

I hope money will always lift your hand.

But Qian Pengcheng's reaction to him was still cold.

It can even be said to be indifferent.

The pressure on Yu Zheng these days can be said to be as huge as mountains and seas. There were even times when he thought that at worst he would no longer be in this circle.

Anyway, I have thousands of them in my hand... enough to survive after I withdraw from the circle.

After I retreated from the circle and my feet were bare, could I still be afraid of these people wearing shoes?

I will tell you all these dirty things about you on the Internet!

Look who is the unlucky one in the end!

And as if someone had been assessing his mental state, just when his thread called reason was about to be pulled repeatedly until it broke, suddenly, Qian Pengcheng called him.

tell him:

"There is a dinner party tonight, come over."

As a result, all the dead ends disappeared.

After having a taste of this glamorous entertainment industry, who wants to go back to being an ordinary person?

He didn't even care about the "discourtesy" that made him wait in the driver's waiting room for three or four hours. He walked quickly to a few people with only the thought of "begging the other person to let him go."

At this moment, in his eyes, whether it was Qian Pengcheng on the left, the middle-aged man he saw last time on the right, or Director Xu sitting in the middle.

These three people... were like three mountains, lying in front of him.

The huge pressure made him slightly breathless.

As for those unfamiliar faces, he didn't even bother to observe them to see if he recognized them.

Therefore, he bowed down humbly and said hello respectfully:

"Hello, Director Xu, I am Yu Zheng..."

"Crack."

Xu Xin didn't respond, but lighted a cigarette as he was minding his own business.

Leaning on the sofa, he glanced at Yu Zheng, who was standing respectfully, and said:

"Screenwriter Yu, we meet again."

"...Hey, Director Xu. It's an honor to see you again."

"Um."

Holding a cigarette, Xu Xin tilted his head slightly and asked with interest:

"This month should be enough for the screenwriter to finish reading the book "Bu Bu Jing Xin", right?"

Yu Zheng almost didn't think about it and bent his waist even more:

"Yes, yes, I have finished reading it. I have read it thoroughly."

"Then what do you think of the story "Gong Lock Heart Jade" compared with "Bu Bu Jing Xin"?"

After hearing this, Yu Zheng no longer had the same stubbornness as before.

As docile as a dog:

"Compared with this book, this script...can't even be considered as an imitation of Dong Shi. It can only be said that...painting a tiger cannot be an anti-dog."

"Haha~"

Suddenly, Xu Xin laughed out loud.

"That's not the case. I think "Gong Lock Heart Jade" is not bad at all."

For a moment, Yu Zheng couldn't tell whether he was being weird or what he meant.

But those are not important.

Seeing Xu Xinxiao, he didn't care what the other person was thinking, whether it was to make conditions or to compensate him, it didn't matter. It’s true to show your attitude quickly:

"Director Xu... what happened before is because I am blind to the truth. You don't remember the faults of villains. If this script is offensive, I would like to solemnly apologize to you. I hope you..."

"Screenwriter Yu."

Xu Xin waved his hand before he finished his apology:

"It's just a small matter. We don't know each other even if we don't fight, right? But what about me..."

He looked at the other person up and down:

"Let's just say it's a bit of a mysophobia. Although there is an old saying that there is a lot of copying of articles in the world. But this "copying" is also divided into levels. Blind imitation, inferior imitation, copycat, I feel very uncomfortable when I look at it. But in Under the same subject matter, if you can write something that others don't have, that's called your ability. Don't you think so?"

"Yes, yes, I will definitely bear in mind Director Xu's teachings..."

He continued to respond to Xu Xin with a humble attitude.

In order to hope that the other party can quickly let him go as a "fart".

But Xu Xin suddenly said:

"I heard that screenwriter Yu took this script to Tang Dynasty?"

"...Yes. I lost my head for a moment..."

"Let's not talk about those things."

Xu Xin waved his hands and muddle along with a calm expression:

"Okay, let's put it this way. It's hard work for Director Yu to wait for so long. By the way, Director Yu, we can sit here and chat today thanks to Mr. Qian. Mr. Qian is very Those who value you will have to thank Mr. Qian properly later."

"..."

Yu Zheng's expression tightened...

The secret joy in Xu Xin's heart that was gradually savoring Xu Xin's meaning of "this matter is over" and "a small punishment but a big warning" disappeared without a trace again.

What does this... mean?

A feeling that something was not right suddenly filled my heart.

But Xu Xin didn't wait for his response, but said directly:

"Okay, it's getting late. Screenwriter Yu should go back and rest. Other things... I will talk to Mr. Qian."

Yu Zheng's expression tightened...

It's not that I felt humiliated because I waited for hours and only spoke for less than two minutes.

It was that not-so-good premonition.

At this moment, Xue Haifeng, who had never spoken, said:

"Okay, it's none of your business, go down."

It's this guy again.

Yu Zheng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something else.

But in the end he didn't speak.

If Qian Pengcheng represents Tianyu, then the pressure from the Magic City may come from this person.

He spoke... Yu Zheng didn't dare to refute.

now……

We can only take one step at a time.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said respectfully:

"Okay, then... Director Xu, Mr. Qian..."

He also tried to get a feel for each other's relationship.

But Xue Haifeng didn't mean to give him his name at all, he just waved his hand:

"Walk slowly."

"..."

…

Yu Zheng left.

At first glance, the matter appears to have been resolved satisfactorily.

But……

"Mr. Qian, have you ever raised a dog?"

Yu Zhengcai walked out of this door.

After putting out the cigarette in the ashtray, Xu Xin suddenly asked a very unexpected question.

Qian Pengcheng was stunned and shook his head subconsciously:

"I have never raised a dog before. To be honest, Director Xu, I am also from Shanghai, and I lived in an alley when I was a child. It is actually quite difficult to raise a dog in that environment. But when I was studying in university in Zhejiang, my classmates Does anyone in the dormitory have a cat..."

Xu Xin didn't care whether he had raised it or not, just to extend the topic.

So he continued:

"In my home, when I was a child, every household had a dog. There was no way, there were a lot of petty thieves in remote areas. If there was no dog at home, the probability of losing something was very high. So, every household had a dog. You have to keep a dog to remind the owner of the house whether there is a burglar or if something happens."

"..."

Qian Pengcheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed:

"Of course, dogs play a big role in rural areas. Not to mention looking after homes and homes. If they are well trained, they can also catch chickens and rabbits. In some places, they even like to eat dog meat."

There was a room full of old people, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Xu Xin knew that they understood what he meant.

So he smiled and nodded:

"Yes. But the fate of some dogs is quite miserable. Some dogs love to bite people. If a guest comes to the house and it sneaks over and bites people, that is called bad luck."

Qian Pengcheng waved his hand:

"That's easy, just tie it with a chain. Mr. Xue, are you right?"

Xue Haifeng was also happy:

"Haha, that's for sure. But for small dogs, use a thin chain, and for big dogs, you have to use a thick chain. Otherwise, it won't be appropriate if it breaks and hurts someone."

"Hahahahahaha..."

After chatting for a few words about the experience of raising a dog, the topic ended here.

And next...

Xu Xin turned to look at Qian Pengcheng:

"Mr. Qian, what do you think of Yang Ying?"

Qian Pengcheng showed a smile on his face:

"Haha, that's what Director Xu said. Miss angelbaby is very famous recently, especially since the second season of "The Voice" is about to start recording, right?"

"Well, it will start one after another this month. This time, thanks to Mr. Qian's relationship, screenwriter Yu and I have become acquainted. Two days ago, I wrote the script "Gong Lock Heart Jade", I showed it to her. She liked it very much...but I don’t know if Mr. Qian is still interested?"

"Of course."

Qian Pengcheng responded:

"But we must not make mistakes on matters of principle. Yang Ying, a rising little flower, must be matched with a clean script."

"That's for sure. Her recent resources are very good. After becoming my wife, didn't the factory reach a cooperation with Yindu? She made her debut in Hong Kong, so she has used some of the film resources from both parties in recent years. Acting skills Well...it's hard to say.

But there is definitely nothing wrong with some stereotyped characters. I'm also very optimistic about her potential. In our relationship, I am sure that the one who is closest to the water comes first. If Mr. Qian needs anything here... she will definitely be obliged to do so. We are close~"

"Hahahahaha..."

After Xu Xin and him had finished talking about everything about Yu Zheng and Yang Ying in just a few words, everyone understood and laughed heartily.

While laughing, Qian Pengcheng suddenly said with some pity:

"It's a pity. Mimi doesn't plan to take on the TV series anymore?"

"I don't think I have any plans in the past few years. I may act in the future, but in the past few years~"

He shrugged:

"My baby is too young, and we can't go out to work every day, so we can just leave the family alone, right? We'll talk about it later."

"OK."

Qian Pengcheng responded.

And tonight's game, whether it was the so-called dog or the so-called human, was treated like home by Xue Haifeng, the exchange was completed and the curtain came to an end.

As for the results.

Tianyu has an extra dog.

But how to handle this dog...

Hey, it's not something Xu Xin has to worry about.

On his side, someone pushed out.

This man and Yang Mi are still close friends and relatives.

But this acting...

It's really time to practice hard.

Feast and farewell.

He took Su Meng's car and walked to the hotel.

In the car, he dialed his wife's phone number and reported that she was safe as usual, but also planned to share today's results.

But the phone just rang a few times before being hung up.

A few seconds later…

"Ding."

Yang Mi:

"I'm chatting with Nazha. I'll talk about it later."

"good."

Xu Xin replied and turned off his phone.

…

Yanjing.

Time goes back half an hour.

Half an hour ago, Yang Mi, who had finished the film festival, got into the car and walked all the way home.

After walking for about 20 minutes, I returned to the underground parking lot at home.

Not only Sun Ting was traveling with her, but also Nazha, who was picked up in the car at the gate of the community.

This time is different from last time. As a person without an access card, Nazha cannot enter the community. So Yang Mi asked her to wait for her at the basement door.

After coming back, I picked her up and went down to the basement together.

Sun Ting opened the trunk after getting off the car and placed four boxes of gifts inside.

In fact, from the assistant's point of view, she had to admit that this girl... was quite smart.

Although these are gifts, the packaging is not expensive. It's different from the current fake can labels that have a can label on the outside, but actually has a small glass bottle inside.

At first glance, it looks like a very practical gift.

And if Nazha directly gave him a gift that looked expensive, she would think the other person was stupid.

You don't even have money for life-saving medical treatment, and you still have money to buy such an expensive gift. That's really stupid.

And now these gifts... are just right.

As for the little girl’s complexion…

Well, I am indeed much more haggard than last time.

However, as an assistant, she remained silent and followed Yang Mi with her things, and the three of them got into the elevator together.

In the elevator:

"How is your father doing?"

"You can be transferred to the general ward tomorrow."

Nazha's voice was a little hoarse.

Yang Mi nodded and said comfortingly:

"That's good. You can rest assured that we are in Xiehe."

Surprisingly, Nazha did not respond.

He just lowered his head silently.

Yang Mi didn't care. She came back right after the film festival without even changing her clothes.

The high heels under my feet hurt the soles of my feet.

I have to quickly change into something more comfortable when I get home, and then hide this outfit.

God knows if some bastard even watched the awards show.

I was negligent last time and lost a high-end round. Thinking about that feeling makes my legs weak.

You have to pay some attention.

So, in this silence, the elevator reached the floor.

Sun Ting took the lead to get out of the elevator, took the key and opened the door.

Open the door, enter the house, and change your shoes.

Yang Mi, who was wearing slippers and had a "so happy" expression on her face, waved her hands:

"Sit wherever you want, I'll go change clothes."

"Sister Mi."

Suddenly, Nazha stopped Yang Mi.

"Um?"

Yang Mi turned around and said:

"how……"

The words have not yet finished.

"Plop."

The little girl at the door knelt down.

"Hey~ you..."

Yang Mi quickly took a step forward and supported her.

But Naza shook her head:

"Sister Mi, this is what my mother has told me over and over again. We... really don't know how to repay you and Director Xu..."

"You get up first."

Yang Mi was speechless.

He took her arm and lifted her up like a chicken.

Although she usually behaves like a weak girl in front of Xu Xin, as a woman who can hold a three-meter-six-meter white wax pole and shoot a set of Wu Mu Thirteen Guns in one breath, her How can your strength be so small?

Calling it a tigress is really not an exaggeration at all.

It's just that she put away her claws in front of her lover.

Nazha was obviously a little confused...

Just picked me up like this?

She looked directly at Yang Mi in front of her, but Yang Mi looked down at her jeans.

"Oh, silly girl. Why are you working so hard? Doesn't it hurt when you hit the brick?"

Recalling the sound she heard just now, she was speechless.

But just one sentence...

The girl's heart was instantly broken.

The stress and uneasiness of the past few days, as well as the gratitude that I feared I would never be able to repay in my heart, all turned into an impulsive hug.

"Sister Mi!! Wow..."

Yang Mi, who was caught off guard and hugged her, was stunned for a moment...

His eyes went from surprised, to speechless, to feeling the moist warmth along his body because he was wearing a strapless skirt...

Finally, her eyes softened.

Patting the girl's back gently:

"Okay, stop crying. If you cry too much, your eyes will be swollen, so you won't be pretty anymore. Be good~"

"Good boy" was shouted out.

What responded to her was the girl's bursting tears.

And the words whispered in the sobs:

"Thank you...sister...thank you...wuwuwu...thank you..."

At this time, the phone in Sun Ting's hand rang.

"...Sister, Brother Xu is looking for you."

Hearing this, Yang Mi, who was still hugged by the girl, waved her hands:

"Tell him that I'm with Nazha and I'll get back to him later."

"OK."

Sun Ting responded, opened Yang Mi's phone, quickly edited a text message and sent it.

"Brother Xu agreed."

"Um...Okay, don't cry."

She patted the little girl in her arms again, and when the other person let go of her, she touched her shoulder.

Hands are wet and slippery.

Fortunately it was just tears.

But this amount is quite a lot.

Yang Mi shook her head slightly...

Is this girl... maybe made of water?

While thinking, she pointed to the sofa:

"Okay, this money is not for free. You will have to pay it back with your salary in the future~ Do you understand?"

"Ok, I know!"

Because of her snow-white skin, the girl's eyes were getting brighter and brighter in contrast, and she nodded vigorously:

"Don't worry, sister, I promise you! I will definitely study hard and down-to-earth! I will never let you and Director Xu down! I will definitely use my own ability to repay the money! I promise you!!! "

"So good."

Yang Mi pinched her face with a smile:

"Okay, let's happily make an IOU. Then quickly ask Tingting to take you back... Now that your father's condition is stable, hurry up and prepare. There is still more than a month until the college entrance examination. You have to work hard!”

Looking at the determined girl, she didn't choose to say anything like, "Please contact me from now on and don't contact Xu Xin again."

There was no reason why she couldn't notice the details that Sun Ting noticed.

After all, Tingting is her little apprentice.

And she didn't even try to guess whether the girl kept putting "sister" before "brother" on purpose or something else.

It doesn't really matter.

Even some appreciation.

Proportionate.

How to grasp this kind of propriety is a technical job that requires high mental maturity.

Maybe...this little girl is also a smart person.

Just wait and see.

Just like those willow branches planted unintentionally.
