Hello, where are you?"
Xu Miao's voice sounded.
"Xi'an."
"When will you return to Yanjing?"
"What's wrong?"
"Our father has a friend whose surname is Jing. Do you know him?"
"My dad has so many friends~ How do you know everything? What's wrong? Are you going to invest in a movie?"
"Do you also have a female classmate named Jing?"
"What's the name of a well?"
"Jing Tian."
"Don't recognize...huh? Who?"
Xu Xin was suddenly stunned.
This name... sounds a bit familiar.
After thinking for a while, he said:
"There seems to be such a person, what's wrong?"
"Didn't our father want to start a joint venture recently? These people in the county are now looking for minerals all over the mountains and plains. Our village is okay, but other people are now speculating on land, you know? Now the exploration team is wandering all over the mountains and plains every day, regardless of the depth of the coal seams, there are Coal, that land can be sold for sky-high prices..."
Hearing this, Xu Xin frowned:
"It won't affect our family, right?"
"Our dad no longer plays in Shenmu. In the past few years, the land he has taken has been from Dongsheng, Kangbashi, and YJHLQ. Moreover, there are many scammers in the county. A few days ago, Xiaoguo's family was defrauded of 100 million, saying that What to do... Overseas land or something. There is also talk of a joint venture to build a refinery, etc. Anyway, it is all a matter. The Olympic venue was chosen here, and this year the county has exposed it severely. I lost my temper, but a group of outsiders came in."
"Then the money will be earned."
Xu Xin’s final conclusion was approved by Xu Miao:
"Yeah, the chaos has begun to emerge, but... what our dad means is that it's not the time yet. But we have to start planning in advance. Our family is now in Inner Mongolia, but it has to be relevant to change the place. Your classmate's family is... pretty tough. He has a close relationship with Shenhua, okay?
"Is it equal cooperation? Or..."
"Of course it's equality, but strong dragons don't overwhelm local weaklings. Everyone has to have a reason... So, our dad is planning to go there in the past two years. There are too many people in the county who are being watched..."
"You need me to do it." "
"I got a call last night and heard that you were opening this very...movie. His niece and you are still classmates. So I came to ask...but our dad also said that art is not about money. If you think it's okay, then let me play a role, and by the way... we all know each other, and it will save us some points in the future. If it works, then everyone will be our own people from now on. If it doesn't work... it will also look good in terms of face."
"Okay, I get it...but I have to go to the school and ask around. People in the acting department this year...don't see any good prospects, that's the truth. They are all pretty average. I'm not familiar with that Jingtian, but I can tell whether her performance is good or bad."
Hearing this, Xu Miao was silent for a while and said:
"I don't dare to say someone is bad to their face."
Xu Xin rolled his eyes:
"Don't worry, I know what to do. Otherwise, I'll ask you if we cooperate as equals... The way of playing in this circle is a little different from ours. I know it~"
"Okay, that's it."
"Well, hung up."
"Wait a minute……"
Xu Xing was about to hang up the phone when Xu Miao called out to him.
"What's wrong?"
"Are you going to cooperate with Liang Binning this time?"
"Um."
"...Do you have any impression that we have seen her before?"
"It's nonsense, isn't it? "Huanzhugege" was my dad's favorite TV series back then."
Xu Xin rolled his eyes.
In my memory, in the 1990s, my father watched crape myrtle and little swallows on TV every day...
But I have to admit, this show is indeed popular.
The ratings of 60 to 70% now look like a fairy tale.
But after hearing his words, Xu Miao said:
"No, have we seen her in real life?"
"...?"
Xu Xin was stunned
"Seen it? Where? Why don't I remember?"
"Well…"
Xu Miao at this moment

The voice was also a little confused.
After thinking for a while, he said:
"Anyway, I think I've met her."
"Nervous~"
Xu Xin rolled his eyes again:
"I'm warning you. I'm recording what you said. If you offend me one day, I will send it to my sister-in-law. Just wait to die~"
"Climb like this!~ I'm so scared!"
Xu Miao ended the call with a curse.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin lit a cigarette.
Start rubbing your chin.
He had no impression of Liang Binning or not, and it didn't matter.
He was thinking about other things at the moment...
Jing Tian...
e
I just had the impression of a male character, and now I have a female character...
It's so magical.
After thinking for a while, he dialed Yu Zhen's phone number.
"Hey, Teacher Yu... please help me find someone... I'm from the acting department, my name is Jing Tian."
…
"Hey, where are you?"
"I'll pick you up and let's do some beauty treatments."
"Okay, I'll see you at home soon."
Soon, around 3 p.m., the Porsche arrived at the gate of a community.
Liu Zhishi, who was wearing a large mask, opened the car door and got in the car.
"If you come later, I'll freeze to death."
Listening to Liu Zhishi's complaint, Yang Mi chuckled:
"Be content, you~ I didn't even enter the house, I changed my car and came to pick you up. You are really stupid, why don't I say more, wait until I call you and you will come out."
"Hiss~~"
Liu Zhishi, who shivered when being hit by the heater, shook her head speechlessly:
"Hurry up and leave...I've been suffering from back pain for the past few days."
"Tsk~"
Yang Mi’s face was filled with emotion:
"When I see you, I remember my time... I had a harder time than you at that time. You practiced Baguazhang... I stood up and stood up. Two-handed Xingyiquan and two-handed sword are better than you. I’ve suffered a lot.”
"Yes, yes, senior sister, aren't you too powerful?"
Liu Zhishi was speechless:
"When my agent called me yesterday, he was stunned when he heard that I was asleep. It was not even ten o'clock at that time. Ouch, I can't even bend my legs today."
Upon hearing this, Yang Mi narrowed her eyes and asked:
"Why are we looking for you? Didn't I say that I have no plans for this year?"
"Well…"
Liu Zhishi was also stunned for a moment.
This was said purely casually...but when her friend asked, she remembered what happened last night.
After thinking about it, she didn't say anything, just smiled and said:
"Just ask me what I've been doing recently and see if I'm slacking off or something."
Hearing this, Yang Mi nodded.
I didn’t ask further.
Instead, he changed the subject.
…
"I've asked you about it. As for her acting skills...not to mention compared with those who have entered the industry, it is only at an average level among students of the same age. But she is more beautiful. It is said that she has many suitors, and that Zheng The situation is almost the same."
"Okay, I understand...Thank you, Teacher Yu."
"What do you want to ask her about?"
If others asked, Xu Xin might not tell the truth.
But if Teacher Yu asked, he would definitely say it.
So he replied:
"The elders in the family are friends with her elders. No, the news of "The Wind" has spread now. Although I don't know if she asked me to ask, the phone calls came."
Yu Zhen immediately understood what he meant.
After thinking for a while, she asked:
"Besides Liang Bingning, who else is in this play?"
"Yang Mi. This scene... I did it just to promote her. But it is also a group scene, and other roles actually require very high acting skills. I am still looking for candidates... but in terms of the main role, she is not available. Location. But... she greeted her from home, so I was actually quite embarrassed. "
"Then it's simple. A small role that is not very important is enough. She is the kind of student in school who is not top-notch in talent, but knows how to work hard.

. Understand? When dealing with this kind of thing, you can do it this way... For example, for the role of Gu Xiaomeng, you let her audition. Let her follow the whole process and see how other actors, including Yang Mi, handle this role. 「
Listening to Teacher Yu's words, Xu Xin's eyes lit up:
"Quiting when faced with difficulties?" "
"Yes. The first step is to retreat when faced with difficulties. Then, let's go with the flow and give a small role, a role that can follow the whole process, but is not important. This is a personal favor. Of course, if she is greedy, then just pretend that I didn't say anything. But... what the teachers mean is that she is actually not very ambitious and is quite a quiet girl.
"...Teacher Yu."
"how?"
"Ginger, you are still spicy when you are old."
"Get out! I'm not old!"
Yu Zhen couldn't laugh or cry:
"Okay, let's just say this. After the film is prepared, come to me when you come back and tell me how you shot it. I will review it for you to see if there is anything missing."
"Okay. I want pork and cabbage dumplings!"
"…"
Finally, Yu Zhen left the words "As long as you know how to eat" and hung up the phone.
Xu Xin looked at the main characters he had listed this afternoon...
After thinking for a while, he nodded in agreement.
Indeed, what Teacher Yu said is absolutely correct.
This is... the safest way.
…
November 10th.
Just when the talk of "Killing Xu Dog" was boiling in Yang Mi Bar and the bees were sworn to protect Mi Mi's chastity, Xu Xin and a group of directors had already arrived in Hengdian.
As for the so-called "Xu Gou", Xu Xin was not angry, but felt quite innocent.
After all...the forums are full of comments like "Xu Gou and I are incompatible with each other."
People who don't know it may really think that he has done something wrong.
But that's all.
Sorry, bees.
In this game, I have the advantage.
As for the rest, whether it was digging into news about the plot of "The Wind" or continuing to gossip about his personal affairs, he actually didn't care.
Even the matter of how Liang Bingning took up the position of "deputy leader" and whether there is any shady news are all handled by Xiying Film Studio.
Just say whatever you have to say.
You can't control people's mouths.
There's nothing I can do about it.
But some things always settle down over time.
And then forgotten in the memory.
While walking in the scenic area of residences of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Hengdian in winter is obviously a bit depressing.
It was no longer as lively as when he came by himself.
There are actually only a few locations in "The Wind".
One is the bulletin board of the Chenghuang Temple, and the other is Li Ningyu’s residence.
One is the exterior iron bridge and castle of Qiu Shenghuai's villa.
You can find prototypes of all kinds of things in Hengdian.
After wandering around for a day and making sure that all the exterior scenes were in line with expectations, Xu Xin didn't have to worry about the next thing.
Of course, someone would go over and talk about renting a venue or something.
When night fell, Xu Xin also refused to have dinner with Li Pingdong and the others, and walked directly out of the Guomao Building with Zhang Jiao.
"How do you eat tonight?"
Walking on the street, Xu Xin asked Zhang Jiao.
But Zhang Jiao asked him in a consulting tone:
"Tonight...Director Xu, can I go home and stay?"
Xu Xin was a little surprised
"You haven't returned the house yet?"
"without……"
Zhang Jiao shook her head slightly:
"I paid a year's rent before, and the landlord will definitely not refund it."
"Oh~ ok, I just want to go to Brother Li's place for dinner, you can just go back."
"Thank you, Director Xu."
"fine."
Xu Xin smiled and waved his hand:
"Didn't you say that Zhao Liying can cook? I guess she has made a table of delicious food and is waiting for you at home right now?"
"……hey-hey."
Zhang Jiao finally couldn't help laughing.

but……
Perhaps seeing that Xu Xin was in a good mood at the moment, she suddenly asked tentatively:
"Director Xu... just... for this movie... can I ask Bao Zi to audition for it?"
"..."
Xu Xin paused.
Zhang Jiao thought he was angry, so she subconsciously said quickly:
"Forget it...I...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything."
"You...oh."
Xu Xin shook his head helplessly and sighed:
"Did she ask you to ask? Or did you want to ask yourself?"
"That's not what Baozi means. I think... this is a good opportunity for Baozi."
Zhang Jiao was a little uneasy.
But suddenly I heard a sound
"Without any lines, can she accept the role of a waiter serving wine and tea?"
"..."
Zhang Jiao was stunned.
But after reacting immediately, he thought Xu Xin was in trouble and quickly shook his head:
"I'm just asking...Director Xu...nothing else."
"I know... But this kind of supporting role is also for extra actors. She has signed a contract now. If you can accept it, you can let her do it. It's nothing... I just think you'd better not take it lightly. It's not good to make decisions for others."
Instructing her to move forward, Xu Xin lit a cigarette.
"Friend, I understand that you have good things to share...but before you do this, do you have to think about it? Zhao Liying is also an artist under a big company. She also has her own career plan~ If she wants a supporting role, then she can come over.
I don’t care about other people’s reputations, so I’ll attack you. How can I refuse? But the question is, is she willing? Right? There is a world of difference between extras and roles with lines. I can understand you being nice to her. But it’s best to pay attention to this aspect in the future... Sometimes your good intentions may be harmful to others. understand?"
Zhang Jiao was silent.
Instead, he fell silent and began to think about Xu Xin's words.
Xu Xin didn’t say much.
A supporting cast is indispensable in this film, so come on if you want.
Moreover, this kind of work of playing a small part in a group is equivalent to a piece of meat with little oil and water. Many people are counting on this to survive.
A film crew has too many invisible profits.
The prosperous film industry has formed a very stable profit industry chain here, such as a set.
When placed in the studio of Xiying Film Studio, the cost of those sets was actually kept within a very low budget.
Including four rooms for five people, as well as the interior of the main building, etc., the cost of a set is only a little over one million.
The props are all ready-made. Here in Hengdian, a prosthetic wall costs 700 to 800 yuan per square meter. They are all free at Xiying Studio. Various props such as sofas and dining tables are also "inventory" of Xiying Studio...
Their family is too rich.
It's so thick that it's shocking.
But let’s not mention anything else, let’s just talk about the huge dining table used for gatherings.
If you put it in Hengdian, it would take at least ten thousand or twenty thousand to get it.
And at least 30% of these profits will flow back to the crew from the suppliers of these props.
Otherwise...why should people buy your stuff?
These interest exchanges have built a stable supply system.
Including the extras, in front of the crew, they are just commodities.
So, it’s the same for everyone, there’s no difference.
But he really likes the way Zhang Jiao and Zhao Liying get along with each other, where you do it for me and I do it for you.
It's not easy for little sisters to survive until now. There's nothing wrong with helping each other, but you have to learn the rules.
After all...the most difficult thing to master in this industry is the scale.
Xu Xin still felt deeply after being taught by Mr. Tian and Director Zhang recently.
…
When they arrived at the barbecue restaurant, Xu Xin waved to Zhang Jiao and walked in.
The barbecue restaurant was already busy at this moment.
In winter, it’s all about barbecue

The season... is wrong, this thing seems to be suitable all year round.
After arriving, Xu Xin didn't exchange much greetings with the proprietress who was looking at the front desk.
I just said hello and asked Brother Li to come over for a drink when he was not busy, and he was led to the door of the box by the landlady.
Xu Xin knocked on the door and then turned the door handle.
When the door was opened, Huang Xiaoming in the room had already stood up.
but……
He didn't come alone.
A beautiful girl with round eyes stood up next to her.
The private room was not big, so it was suitable for cordial conversations between friends. After Xu Xin saw the two of them, although he was confused about who the girl was, he still said hello to Huang Xiaoming first:
"Senior brother."
"Hahaha~Junior brother~"
Huang Xiaoming took a step forward and came over to shake hands.
Then Xu Xin closed the door.
Huang Xiaoming pointed at the girl and introduced:
"My girlfriend, Li Fei."
"Well……"
Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and stretched out his hand:
"Hello."
"Hello, Director Xu. My name is Li Fei. Nice to meet you."
As soon as Li Fei opened her mouth, Xu Xin heard it.
This person should be from the Northeast.
The accent is obvious.
Xu Xin shook his hand politely and then let go. Huang Xiaoming smiled and said:
"As soon as Fei'er heard that we were having Northeastern barbecue tonight, she came over."
"Sister Fei is from the Northeast?"
"No, no, no, Director Xu, I... am one year younger than you. Just call me Feifei."
When Xu Xin called "Sister Fei", Li Fei didn't dare to let him call her like that, so she quickly reported her family name.
But Xu Xin smiled and said:
"Then just call me sister-in-law."
It doesn't matter what you call it.
Minor.
No one will become a brother just because he says "brother", and no one will become a sister just because he says "sister".
The main thing is to be able to blend into the atmosphere of today's table.
Then, after the three of them sat down, Xu Xin glanced at the blank menu waiting for the guests to fill in, and handed it to Li Fei with a smile:
"It's quite a coincidence that the owner of this shop is also named Li, and I call him Brother Li. The barbecue tastes very good, a serious Northeastern flavor. Sister-in-law, you can order some, they are all delicious, just order whatever you want. "
"That…"
Li Fei glanced at Huang Xiaoming and nodded politely:
"Then let me order. Director Xu...do you want to drink?"
"Drink, but don't worry about it. Brother Li knows what I drink. It's okay."
After once again showing that he was familiar with this store, Huang Xiaoming said appropriately:
"Junior brother often come to this store? I see there are photos hanging on the wall at the door."
"Yes, come often."
Xu Xin responded:
"If it's a business banquet, I might find a bigger restaurant. But when I'm dining with friends, I like to come here. The place is not big, but the people are warm. It's a place where friends and buddies can drink and chat together."
Sure enough, as he spoke, Huang Xiaoming smiled even brighter.
And soon, while Li Fei was still ordering, there was a knock on the door.
Brother Li, the owner of the barbecue restaurant, walked in personally carrying a pot of tea.
Seeing Xu Xin was full of enthusiasm.
I was not surprised to see Huang Xiaoming and Li Fei.
After all...these two people came earlier than Xu Xin.
Everyone got to know each other, and after chatting for a while, Brother Li used the excuse of going to get a drink to get out.
Soon, a glass jug of white wine was brought over.
This is the Northeastern barbecue commonly known as "Sanluzi".
Xu Xin’s ginseng wine was brewed with this.
As for this wine, it tastes really good and the alcohol content is not particularly high. It is mainly made from pure grains. After drinking it, there will be no problem at all the next day.
It's okay that Brother Li didn't mention it, but when he did, Li Fei, who had originally planned to drink beer, changed her mind and decided to drink some liquor from her hometown.
In fact, it doesn't matter.

After the wine was poured and a few cold dishes were served, everyone clinked glasses and started drinking.
This was Xu Xin's first real drinking experience with Huang Xiaoming.
He also has the distinctive drinking characteristics of Shandong people.
Not inked.
You say how many sips a cup takes, let’s take a few sips.
There is no nonsense about drinking.
It was a complete mess.
He was obviously a "niche", but through the refreshing energy of everyone drinking a third of the wine in one go for the first time, Xu Xin felt that he had a different personality from this nickname.
Speaking from my heart.
not bad.
On the other hand, Li Fei on the side made Xu Xin somewhat impressed.
A heroine in wine.
Xu Xin originally meant for her to drink as much as she wanted, but looking at her, she only drank a third of it in one gulp...
Suddenly something felt wrong.
Tonight's drinking party... Why is it that I feel like I can't drink enough?
Looking at these two people, they seem to be no ordinary people.
After thinking about it, he decided to take the initiative to speak.
Both of them were quite eager to drink.
If this continues...he may not be able to bear it.
"Brother, there is such a villain in the script of "The Wind"... I think it suits you very well."
"...Villain?"
Huang Xiaoming immediately became interested.
"Is it bad?"
"The villain."
Hearing Xu Xin's definition, Huang Xiaoming's eyes lit up even more!
"Okay!...Can you tell me?"
"no problem."
Huang Xiaoming is so popular.
Who would turn down a guaranteed box office for their movie?
With Huang Xiaoming's current fame...if nothing else, it is worth at least 30 million at the box office.
but……
"Is it okay to be a villain?"
After agreeing immediately, Xu Xin looked a little worried.
But who would have thought that Huang Xiaoming would bite him to death:
"It's no problem... I have been acting for so many years, and the only villain I have ever come across is the character Wang Jun in "Girls with Talented Men". But to be honest, it's not satisfying~ Although I still don't know who this villain is, But it sounds too challenging..."
"Well, this character is called Takeda..."
Taking this opportunity, Xu Xin started to talk about this role while eating vegetables and taking the time to put something in his stomach.
After chatting for a few words, Huang Xiaoming raised his wine glass again.
Xu Xin's heart trembled...
Oh my god, the rhythm of this man's drinking is... a bit scary.
But he didn't refuse either.
Let’s talk while eating.
So, unknowingly, from the character's background, to the story line, to the character's characteristics...
Unknowingly, the second glass of wine and the first glass of wine were gone before the barbecue was served.
The barbecue is served and the second glass of wine begins.
Li Fei's drinking capacity is also quite scary... and she actually keeps following him.
And just talking about the two of them...
The more Xu Xin talked, the brighter Huang Xiaoming's eyes became.
The villain.
One of the protagonists...
Do you still need to consider this?
The reason why he called Xu Xin yesterday was actually for two reasons.
On the one hand... this "wind" is indeed too strong.
It was so big that it spread to all the agencies in the entertainment industry overnight.
Liang Binning, Xu Xin.
"The Untold Secret", Olympic Torch...
This popularity can be seen just by looking at the amount of discussion on the topic.
In the past two days, the entertainment sector has been completely slaughtered.
Everyone is digging into the story "behind the Olympics". In addition, although a year has passed, "The Secret" is still regarded as a classic, and Liang Binning's joining has made this trend blow to countless people from all directions. in the hearts of the audience.
From an insider's perspective.
This movement in Xiying Studio is quite like a thunderous response.
I originally thought it was a hero dying late, but...many people saw signs of a dead tree blooming.

"The Wind" already has the potential to become a big ship.
And regardless of whether this ship is the Titanic or something else, as long as you can get on it, it will be a huge improvement for your career, at least before the screening.
Because it has heat.
And popularity means money and status!
So, no one will say no.
As for whether word-of-mouth will take off after the release...
Just kidding, Liang Bingning is holding on there.
She also takes the blame for bad movies. Even if others suffer some setbacks, it won't be a big problem.
The second point is a secret.
That is... Liang Binning's departure and the establishment of a personal studio have allowed many brokerage teams to find a new enclave.
It was as if she had broken the unspoken rules of an industry and walked out openly.
It provides a brand new path for those artists who are still restricted by the agency under the traditional "rely on the company---the company supports them---fly to the sky" model.
He didn't know what happened to others.
But his management team has already started planning this matter.
Therefore, he needs connections and resources, even though... he woke up a little late, but now it's too late.
As for the connection he holds in his hand, who has the greatest potential?
Need to ask?
Besides this "junior brother" in front of me, who else could there be?
Originally, he came with this plan in mind.
Even if I have to cut my salary for this drama, I still hope to be able to get involved in it and start making plans for my future career.
And his management team also recognized this.
I think it's a very good time.
But now...
After putting aside all interests, Huang Xiaoming, an actor, was truly and completely tempted when he heard about the setting of the character "Takeda".
Cold, cruel, ruthless, and vicious character traits!
Plot characters throughout.
In connection with the background of the characters...
What is this called?
This is called depth!
Such a deep character... The person in front of me who said he was a junior, but was actually Director Xu, personally said that he was suitable for me...
Not to mention, there is no logical line of character from a single character.
to the overall story level.
This script doesn't sound like a hit-and-miss script.
Huang Xiaoming's heart was completely broken, like never before...
It's getting hot!
Before I knew it, the second glass of wine was empty.
When the third glass of wine started, Xu Xin's personal cell phone rang suddenly.
Because the phone was on the table, when a text message arrived, the screen lit up, and Huang Xiaoming instinctively glanced at it.
And at this glance, he quickly saw a name.
Even if it's upside down.
Even if the angle is not right.
But he still saw the caller's name clearly.
"Liu Yifei."
