I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 79 077.The truth comes out

"Hello, Teacher Shen, I'm Yang Mi, a friend of Xu Xin. I'm sorry to bother you, but you even came out to pick me up..."

In the middle of Palace Wall Road.

Yang Mi quickly expressed her gratitude.

Upon hearing this, Assistant Shen was very polite and said with a smile:

"It's okay. The main thing is that Teacher Xu is busy over there and can't spare time. Miss Yang, you're welcome. If you need anything in the future, ask Teacher Xu to talk to me and I'll help you get a pass. It will be more convenient to come here. ."

"...Thank you, Teacher Shen."

"Haha, you're welcome...it's right over there, let's go."

"All right."

Yang Mi followed his footsteps and sighed in her heart...

They are all human beings.

Wang Zhu wanted to confirm his...or Xu Xin's identity, so he sent a driver over to take a look.

In fact, director Zhang Yimou's assistant didn't even need to come out. All he needed was Xu Xin to come over and take him in.

This is the best proof that he has contacted the crew of "Golden Armor".

She thought Xu Xin understood her...

But I never expected that the other party not only understood, but even sent a heavyweight.

Although I don't know how he discussed it with Assistant Shen. Maybe he asked Director Zhang Yimou's assistant to introduce himself first after coming out... This shows that Xu Xin must have guessed what he meant, and at the same time gave a generous feedback that far exceeded expectations.

He actually hired director Zhang Yimou's assistant to coordinate the play!

This is director Zhang Yimou's assistant!

As the saying goes, if a person achieves enlightenment, a chicken or a dog will ascend to heaven. How come Wang Zhu and the others are obviously just assistants on the set, but everyone, including the actors, wants to give him three points?

Isn't it because he is Zhang Jizhong's assistant?

Assistants are the most important people who have the most important relationship with artists. Let’s just say that in the public relations department of my company, Rong Xinda, there are people dedicated to assistant work.

In the entertainment industry, perhaps the most overlooked position by outsiders is that of an artist's assistant.

But in fact, it is this group of people that cannot be ignored the most.

It's fine for young artists.

Who should be polite to the assistant of a great artist?

What's more, Zhang Yimou...

Thinking of this, Yang Mi panicked for no reason...

She always felt that Xu Xin was exaggerating with her this time...

Really blown away.

Just when they were feeling a little flustered, they finally came to the square of a palace.

I also saw the crew moving things out of the palace.

"Huh? Have you finished shooting the content inside?"

Assistant Shen was a little surprised.

Yang Mi was completely confused...

Because she saw someone.

Zhou Renfa!

Zhou Renfa was being helped by several staff members as he walked down the steps!

He watched helplessly as the golden person turned into a tent.

Only then did she come back to her senses...

Then he saw Gong Li, whose mother Yi Tianxia was.

Who is that?

Oh yes...it seems to be called Liu Ye.

Oh my God!

Jay Chou! ! !

Jay Chou! ! ! ! !

For no reason, her calves began to tremble.

Not to be afraid of.

I wanted to rush over and ask for autographs and photos...

However, these people were surrounded by staff, who put on makeup when they needed to do it, and changed clothes when they needed to change clothes.

When the two of them stepped up the steps, the shock in Yang Mi's heart and the eyes that had been staring at Jay Chou slowly turned into a kind of anxiety.

Where is Xu Xin?

Where is Xu Xin?

Just as she was thinking about it, she and Assistant Shen had already arrived on the steps.

"Teacher Xu is here."

Standing at the door of the hall, Assistant Shen pointed to the corner next to the door.

Yang Mi subconsciously poked her head inside, and at first glance she saw Xu Xin, who was burying his head in his desk and not knowing what he was doing... But her second glance was immediately aimed at the person standing next to Xu Xin...

Wearing a simple long-sleeved shirt and a peaked cap, he held the table with one hand, facing himself, while the other hand pointed at the place where Xu Xin buried his head...

That is……

open……

Zhang Yimou! ! ! ! !

Instantly, the girl felt that her brain was lacking oxygen.

A somewhat exciting and absurd idea emerged from my heart.

Won't……

You won’t really introduce me and...

and……

Do you know Zhang...Director Zhang?

She was in a daze for a moment.

At this time, a voice sounded:

"Classmate Yang?"

Yang Mi turned her head instinctively. After seeing the short-haired sister, she subconsciously greeted her politely:

"Hello, Sister Wei..."

Upon hearing this voice, Xu Xin turned his head.

"Hey, you're here?"

Xu Xin smiled when he saw Yang Mi standing at the door with her eyes a little straight.

And when he turned around, Zhang Yimou also turned around.

Then I saw the strange girl at the door.

At the same time, several people heard Xu Xin’s words:

"Director Zhang, she is Yang Mi, my classmate... good friend. I got the idea when I saw her in the afternoon."

"..."

After hearing this, Zhang Yimou suddenly frowned.

Yang Mi suddenly panicked.

His body became stiff.

Director Zhang looked at himself up and down, then slowly relaxed his brows and asked Xu Xin:

"Also an actor?"

"Yeah. It's also a source of inspiration~"

"Well... the appearance is in good condition. Let's look back and see if there are any suitable roles that we can try... Are you just waiting for my words?"

As soon as Zhang Yimou lowered his head, he saw Xu Xin's grin.

He was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes at him angrily:

"Hurry up and draw!"

Under Yang Mi's ecstatic and unbelievable gaze, Xu Xin chuckled:

"Okay~"

…

"Sister Wei..."

Standing outside the hall, Yang Mi looked at the footage of Fa Ge holding Gong Li's hand and walking up the steps in the crew's footage, and asked cautiously:

"What exactly is Xu Xin...in...in Director Zhang's team...doing?"

"Xiao Xu didn't tell you?"

Wei Lanfang was a little surprised.

"...not much to say."

Hearing this, Wei Lanfang nodded:

"Xiao Xu is very good and is a member of the creative team."

"...As powerful as you?"

Wei Lanfang was delighted.

I thought this girl could talk.

But he still shook his head:

"I am the project negotiator for the opening and closing ceremonies. I am responsible for coordinating the relationship between various departments. I am not a member of the creative team. He is amazing~"

"..."

Yang Mi instinctively looked into the main hall.

Unfortunately, Wei Lanfang wouldn't let her get close.

Because it needs to be kept secret.

Except for team members, not even Assistant Shen from before was allowed to approach.

"but……"

At this moment, Wei Lanfang suddenly looked at her:

"If his current design plan can be passed, Student Yang... Although it is a bit exaggerated to say it, if it is really passed, then as the inspiration for Xiao Xu, you should feel honored."

"Well……"

Yang Mi was puzzled.

But Wei Lanfang didn't say much, just smiled and said:

"I have a good relationship with Xu Xin, that's why I told you, but please don't tell anyone else, and you have to keep it a secret, you know?"

"Yeah, I understand."

She nodded quickly, but couldn't help but asked in a low voice:

"Sister Wei...can you tell me how Xu Xin...joined?"

"Want to know?"

Wei Lanfang rolled his eyes. On the one hand, he was satisfied that Xiao Xu had done a good job keeping the secret.

After all, for such a big thing, other young people might have been eager to show it off.

Tell your family first, then your friends...

But this beautiful girl who knew at first glance that she was unusual for Xiao Xu seemed to know nothing about this...

Um.

It seems that I will be able to share more secrets with Xiao Xu in the future.

The young man has a tough mouth~

So, she thought for a while and said:

"I can't tell you too much. I can only say that he was brought here by director Yu Zhen from your school."

"Well……"

"It seemed that he came here as a driver at first, and then he sat there and listened that night. He drew a few plans, and then Director Zhang saw it. Then one afternoon, Director Zhang... what date did he come? I forgot I remember it was Monday. At noon on Monday, Director Yu Zhen called him and asked him to come. At that time, it was Director Zhang who came to see him. I remember it was past three o'clock when he arrived. Director Zhang directly I took his drawings and asked him to explain it, and the plan he came up with was recognized by many people, so Director Zhang made an exception and allowed him to join the company."

"……on Monday?"

Suddenly, Yang Mi was stunned.

Wei Lanfang nodded:

"Yes, Monday. It seems to be the tenth day, right? I can't remember clearly."

But she didn't notice that Yang Mi's claws were numb.

When it comes to other days, maybe she has no memory.

But she remembered the day "Monday" too clearly recently.

The first Monday of this month is March 6th.

Awakening of Insects.

I had a full-day class that day, and the "Film and Television Theory" class in the afternoon was taken by several departments together.

Xu Xin is also there.

So it must be eliminated.

And the next Monday is the 13th.

On that day, she intercepted Xu Xin who was about to leave school at noon, and pulled her all the way to the photo studio to get some photos. After she was done, she went to find Xu Xin... but the other party suddenly said that she was going to do something with Teacher Yu, and then... A "secret".

And it started from that time until I met him in Hengdian.

During these ten days, he was always busy.

In other words, everything starts from Monday the 13th!

That is to say...

"Sister Wei, is it number 13?"

"ah?"

Wei Lanfang thought for a while and suddenly realized:

"Yes, yes, the 13th. Director Zhang suddenly returned to Yanjing on the 11th. Indeed, it was the 13th."

"..."

Yang Mi suddenly shook her body...

A surge of blood pressure went straight to Tianling Gai.

"……What happened to you?"

Wei Lanfang asked quickly.

Because the other party didn't know why, his face suddenly turned red, but then turned pale again.

Then there was a wry smile:

"It's okay...no...it's okay..."

"???"

Wei Lanfang was a little curious, but at this moment Jay Chou had already put on silver armor. As soon as she came out of the tent, her soul was immediately taken away:

"Hey, Jay Chou, look!"

"Well……"

Her mind was filled with the complicated thoughts of "I almost delayed him" mixed with emotion and guilt. After hearing the news, Yang Mi glanced at the little-eyed king in armor...

I don't know why, but I have no interest at all.

At this moment, her eyes were extremely dull, because there was a thought in her heart... guilt and speechlessness, but more of a moving thought.

Are you stupid? ! Director Zhang is looking for you, why do you care whether I live or die? Let’s go see Director Zhang first...

Are you stupid!

Isn’t it stupid~~

Annoying!

What if I delay you!

…

"That's probably it, Director Zhang."

It's dark.

Xu Xin, who was working late at night, took out a sketch.

In the sketch, on top of high-rise buildings and bird's nests, footprints composed of dots of fireworks are running step by step in the void.

vivid.

After getting it in front of Zhang Yimou, he was a little dazzled and looked into the corner.

The girl with her schoolbag on her knees looked at him with complicated eyes.

"?"

Why this expression?

He was a little puzzled, but he didn't care. Instead, he turned around and said:

"But while I was painting, I thought about it...I always felt that it was really appropriate to use footprints...If you think about it, the long lens focused, and bang, there were 29 big footprints in the sky...across the ancient city of Yanjing... city ​​night sky. These 29 footprints represent the inheritance of the Olympic spirit and the history of this peaceful event that wants to replace war. It is not a torch, but its inheritance significance must be higher than the torch!"

"..."

Zhang Yimou said nothing.

Just looking at this picture, my brows twisted into knots.

Xu Xin didn't say anything and just lit a cigarette.

Logically speaking, smoking is not allowed in this place...but there is no mole at the moment.

Trade with confidence.

In the span of a cigarette, Zhang Yimou gathered up the drawing paper and handed it over to Xu Xin again.

"We're almost done here, we'll have a meeting later."

"clear."

"...Xiao Xu."

"ah?"

"Well done!"

"Then...my classmate's role and Jay Chou's one hundred autographs..."

"No...huh?"

Suddenly, Zhang Yimou was stunned.

As if he didn't hear clearly, he looked at the young man in front of him:

"What the hell? Signature?"

Xu Xinyile...

"hey-hey."

Point to Wei Lanfang and Yang Mi:

"You don't know yet, right? Sister Wei and Director Ma, the three of us, were blocking Jay Chou down there that night. Director Ma has already bought a hundred CDs...just waiting for you to say something..."

"..."

Zhang Yimou was speechless for a moment.

Staring straight in the direction Xu Xin pointed.

Yang Mi thought she was looking at her, so she subconsciously stood up cautiously.

But in fact, he didn't know that Director Zhang was staring at Wei Lanfang with absurd eyes...

"Forget it Xiao Wei, why are you and Ma Wen joining in the fun?"

"...Director Ma also likes Jay Chou."

"What about you? Why are you joining in the fun?"

"Both sisters like both of them. I have to like them. I've been forced to come to you and tell you..."

"..."

Zhang Yimou was speechless.

Completely speechless.

I asked you to do the Olympics, and you came here to chase stars for me?

It's okay if it's just one or two.

There is no need to nod. For the sake of the crew, the other party will not refuse.

But you can do a hundred at a time?

No wonder you came to tell me...

"You young people... ugh."

Zhang Yimou looked helpless.

…

At 8:30, all posters and test footage were finished.

Everyone packed up and prepared to leave.

And what touched Yang Mi the most was actually the lunch boxes on the set...

Although she didn't dare to say that she ate the crew's box lunch every day, she had been with so many crews since she was a child, and they had eighty if not a hundred kinds of box lunch.

At around six o'clock, the crew delivered lunch boxes.

Of course she has a share.

But the lunch box is obviously different from the ordinary lunch box...

Other lunch boxes are the very common foam boxes, with one box for each person, one box of vegetables, and at most one chicken drumstick.

But the lunch boxes for the crew of "A City of Golden Armor" are square boxes.

It's like a simple meal sold in the city.

Two meats and two vegetables.

It's not a chicken leg with no hair left on the skin. The two pieces of meat are braised pork and hairtail fish.

One of the two vegetarian dishes is roasted vegetables and the other is roasted tofu.

Not only the food was provided, but also a bucket of bone soup was delivered with the lunch box.

Whoever wants to drink can use a disposable cup to serve it.

When Yang Mi went to serve it, she found that there was still deboned meat underneath...

The quantity is really not small.

So rich.

She felt a little emotional.

Compared with this, the food in "The Condor Crew" is simply heaven and earth.

But Xu Xin didn't eat dinner.

By the time he finished painting, it was already dark.

Yang Mi originally said to leave a box for him, but Wei Lanfang didn't let her pass at all.

Instead, he went over and asked, and got the answer "I won't eat".

It's almost 9 o'clock.

The crew is finally preparing to return from the film and television city.

Then, Zhang Yimou said something special to Wei Lanfang:

"Let Xiao Xu and that classmate Yang get into my car."

So, Yang Mi cautiously boarded Zhang Yimou's car.

She is in the last row on the left, Xu Xin sits in the middle, and Wei Lanfang sits on the right.

In front are still Cheng Xiaodong and Zhang Yimou.

Along the way, Yang Mi didn't dare to speak and seemed very nervous.

At the same time, I dare not say that my back hurts...

Burning pain.

The only option is to endure it.

And he didn't dare to press his back against the back seat, so he could only arch his waist.

Xu Xin seemed a little tired. After getting in the car, he leaned back on the back seat and closed his eyes.

Then, while the car was driving on a shaky road, Yang Mi suddenly felt her shoulders sink.

Xu Xin, who was asleep, turned his head this way for some reason.

"..."

Her body stiffened at first.

But I relaxed immediately.

He pursed his lips and pressed his back against the seat in the darkness.

It hurts.

But I can bear it.

Then she asked and drank a smell that didn't belong to her.

It smelled quite good...and she felt quite happy.

It's not that it's because Xu Xin is leaning on his shoulder... To be honest, the feeling of being pressed on his shoulders coupled with the burning pain in his back is definitely uncomfortable.

She was happy because the car directed by Zhang Yimou was an old version of the Ford RV. She had ridden in the new model once, and the three-seat back row had been changed to two-seaters, with an extra center console in the middle. Although it can be stowed away, it is definitely not as comfortable for three people as it is for two people.

This is what makes her happy.

At least... the three of them didn't feel uncomfortable sitting in this old version of the car.

The vehicle continued on the dark road.

In another car, Jay Chou and his manager Zhao Shaowei frowned at the same time.

Zhao Shaowei turned to look at the fat girl with glasses, frowned and asked:

"Dani, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

The fat girl named Dani shook her head:

"Young Viagra, it's not that I didn't mention it, but...it's true, Azheng and the others came according to the company's instructions. Brother JAY came to the mainland this time to star in Director Zhang's movie, which itself has a lot of topics. In order to be better To protect him, that’s what Brother Junrong said~ At that time, this person really had nothing to prove his identity..."

"Dani!"

Zhao Shaowei directly interrupted her words, ignored Jay Chou, and said to her seriously:

"You have to remember that you are JAY's assistant first, and then a staff member of the company. Do you understand?"

"But……"

Dani naturally understands this truth, but she still wants to say something.

At this moment, Jay Chou spoke:

"It's okay, less Viagra."

Zhao Shaowei was stunned for a moment, thinking that he didn't care, and quickly said:

"JAY, don't take it seriously. You saw it at the scene today, the relationship between this man and Director Zhang Yimou..."

"I know. But I think since it's a misunderstanding... it's okay to just talk it out~ It's our fault, so let's apologize."

Recalling that cool fadeaway jumper, Jay Chou shook his head:

"It's okay, I will find an opportunity to tell him. Don't blame Dani for this matter... But, Dani."

He turned to the other party again:

"What Mr. Weiwei said is right. We are still newcomers in the film industry, and we cannot develop that kind of... arrogance, right? That's the Olympics, and those who can be selected there must be very powerful people. So we have to learn to be humble. This applies to strangers and fans. Do you understand?"

Don't look at Dani's dissatisfaction with Zhao Shaowei, because the two parties are in a cooperative relationship and she is a staff member of Alpha Company.

But when Jay Chou speaks, she must listen:

"... Got it, Brother JAY."

"Well, Viagra, I have already told Dani about her. I know what you mean. We will definitely be in contact in the next few months. Believe me, I will tell him when the time comes~"

He gave each of them a step.

Then he took matters into his own hands.

And Zhao Shaowei obviously knew his behavior... so he still had some worry in his eyes.

He is Jay Chou's mainland agent. Although I can't say that he is familiar with the film and television industry, he still has a basic understanding of him. After hearing this, although he believed that Jay Chou could handle it well... he was more worried that his subordinates would cause trouble.

Because these people were sent directly from Wanwan Province.

In fact, according to common sense, there is no need to go to such trouble, the security personnel can also prepare it here.

But there is a secret that others don't know much about.

That is today's Alpha parent company...it is no longer the Alpha company founded by Wu Zhongxian.

In 2002, Wu Zhongxian sold Alpha Company, which owned Jay Chou, to the Holiday Group for NT$300 million (approximately NT$60 million).

Let’s not talk about what happened between Wu Zhongxian and Jay Chou. Now Jay Chou is facing a very important decision, that is, his contract with Alpha is only for 7 years.

2000 to 2007.

In other words, his contract is about to expire next year.

In the past six years, Jay Chou has released one album a year and won numerous awards. His popularity has begun to transform from "little king" to "king of heaven". He has huge popularity and fans throughout the entire dynasty. Base.

The expiration of his contract is inherently a very sensitive matter.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that someone had already started contacting him as early as three years ago.

Since this year, Alpha's parent company has been trying to renew his contract.

But... after meeting his mentor, Bole skyrocketed... to selling 300 million yuan as a "gift"...

No matter how good some people or things are, this young man who usually doesn't talk much can see clearly.

Therefore, he has always adopted an evasive attitude towards the issue of contract renewal.

But it was because of this attitude that everyone at Alpha Company became nervous.

We even published an order in the newspaper telling everyone, "Jay Chou's contract is still with us. Any company that comes into contact with him is illegal and they will pursue legal responsibility."

But what's the use?

Pursuing legal responsibility?

How much can the fine be?

Is there money that Jay Chou can’t make back?

It is precisely because of this that Alpha simply replaced everyone in Jay Chou's team with its own people this time.

Even if I hadn't been the mainland agency that signed the actor contract with director Zhang Yimou's crew, then maybe I wouldn't be there this time, but would have been directly replaced by someone from Alpha Company.

What are they going to do?

The answer is simple.

Blocking all possibilities for Jay Chou to meet other people.

This is especially true for people from some brokerage companies.

Be on guard against death.

Even Dani, who had been following him not long after her debut, was given a death order by the company.

That's why he said something like "You are Jay Chou's assistant first, and then you are from Alpha Company."

Zhao Shaowei doesn't care whether Jay Chou will renew his contract with Alpha parent company.

Because the contract signed between my company and the other party still has three or four years to go.

In the past few years of contact, he found that the other party was actually a very smart person who valued friendship.

Rather than an employment relationship between artists and managers, becoming friends is a longer-term development.

So all his plans are based on Jay Chou.

But this time...

He couldn't reach out either.

I even made some insinuations about what the other party thought about renewing the contract.

pity……

Facing him, the other party also remained silent.

If he doesn't talk, no one dares to force him.

Things are stuck here.

Then a group of crooked people guard everyone every day just like they are guarding against thieves...

No, as soon as I joined the crew, something went wrong.

I offended a young man whose origins are unclear, but who seems to be very close to Director Zhang...

But now, Jay Chou has taken the initiative to take matters into his own hands.

What else could he say?

It doesn’t matter if you feel helpless or worried.

Now that he has spoken, Zhao Shaowei himself can only nod:

"Oh well."

"Um."

Jay Chou nodded, closed his eyes, and put on his headphones.
