During this meal with Qi Lei, we mainly talked about "The Voice".
But the things we talked about were relatively empty and didn’t go to the right place.
In this variety show, what Xiying Studio can get is actually not much in a strict sense. If it can become popular, it sounds like the real winner now is Shaanxi and Taiwan
Of course, Xu Xin was talking about ignoring monetary profits.
If money is included, then as long as this show is popular, it will be a win-win situation for everyone.
But regardless of money, just talking about influence, Shaanxi and Taiwan are the first to bear the brunt.
And this is just Shaanxi and Taiwan.
Judging from the "big hit" basis, in fact, if this program is placed on other TV stations, it may get more.
But again, Xu Xin's original intention of creating this variety show was not to make much money, but to focus more on the impact that Yang Mi and Luan had.
As well as its influence on the Western Movie Channel.
For many things, you can't just look at money, you need to take a longer-term view.
In the end, Xu Xin asked Qi Lei to take away the obviously troubled plan.
Tomorrow I will show it to Mr. Tian and the people who will be in charge of the TV station in a while, take a look at it, discuss it, and finally think about how to do it to maximize the benefits.
In the next few days, Xu Xin's life was very monotonous.
"Cut the film", "Cut the film", "Still cut the film".
There is no distinction between day and night, I just occasionally see the time in the East Eighth District...
The editing progress of "The Wind" is not very fast, but it is not slow either.
And because of his professionalism, Xu Xin has a group of talented people around him, and everyone has some shining points to offer him.
So there are often signs of rework.
This process may sound cumbersome at first, but he surprisingly likes this atmosphere.
...
The fourteenth day of the New Year.
Xu Xin, who stayed up all night last night and cut a few more films by himself, rushed to the capital city in time for an early flight with dark circles under his eyes.
After arriving in the magic city, it was Xu Yang who came to pick him up.
Driving a yellow, eye-catching Lamborghini.
This time, he did not take Zhang Jiao with him, but asked Zhang Jiao to go back to Yanjing directly.
Fortunately, I didn't bring her with me, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to get into this car.
but.....
Compared with this eye-catching appearance, the disgust on Xu Xin's face is real.
In fact, he had not been in such a small car for a long time. When he got into the passenger seat, he accidentally hit his head.
"Ah, what a broken car!"
Xu Yang was very happy when he heard what he said:
"Hahaha, isn't it time to drive a Ferrari?"
"Do you want that car? If you want, just drive away. It's almost useless if I leave it alone."
"I don't want it. Your one is a few years old. Just make do with it. The Bentley I ordered will arrive soon. Next time you come, I will pick you up in that car."
"....Don't you like that car? You say it looks too old-fashioned."
"A few days ago, my dad introduced me to a young entrepreneur club. Xu Zhi and the rest of us went there... I didn't mean to say that we were just like a bunch of locals, you know?"
"how?"
"We all go there in this kind of car, and what about others? Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Maybach... everyone wears a suit, has a female secretary, and is polite to everyone he talks to. There are also people Conversation in English...speak! It makes me feel like a country bumpkin..."
"Well"
"So, I also ordered a Bentley, and Xu Zhi and the others also bought a car like this. Then we hired a secretary and we dressed up more formally. I said you can't be looked down upon by others, right?"
"..."
Maybe it's a change in perspective.
He couldn't understand Xu Yang's words.
On the one hand, I can’t understand that since we are all from China, what kind of English do we use to converse? It’s still yesterday that I can’t speak human language.
On the other hand, does wearing a suit and driving a Bentley look formal? I don’t think so.
But it doesn't matter to him, every city has its own cultural system.
This is not to say that people are flattering and disdainful, but the actual situation is that the higher up people are, the more they pay attention to these things. now that
Everyone has decided to develop in the magic city, so we should follow other people's rules.
So he nodded:
"Well, have you seen Sister Mo?"
"I saw it. After dinner, I just acted like a teacher as you said. I didn't drink much. It's not popular to drink white wine when talking about things while eating here, so I drank some red wine. Don't you like red wine~"
"You don't like seafood yet."
"Haha~"
Xu Yang smiled and pushed up the rimless glasses that made him look more or less gentle and animalistic, and continued:
"The lawyers have read all the procedures and so on, so what's the problem? Just go there and sign directly. Then Sister Mo means to start expanding the recruitment, and then the company starts to contact some scripts and productions with small investments. Then match the original work of Headwind The old man, in his capacity as producer and supervisor, delegated us. After experiencing several crews, we also know how to play, and people are looking for projects one after another."
"Um."
Hearing this, Xu Xin nodded:
"Anyway, she has the final right of interpretation, so you just have to be aware of it.
"Yes, I understand what you mean. Everyone is here to integrate into this circle and start a career. They are quite motivated."
"Anyway, at this stage, don't just grab a female artist and insert it into their crew, that's fine.
"That won't happen. Xu Yang waved his hand:
"My father said it as soon as the pregnancy of my younger brother and sister came out. Anyone who dares to act recklessly will be taken back to work in the mines. I must learn from you and fall in love seriously. Sister Mo also said that the highest state of life is free prostitution. So"
"..."
To be honest, why did Xu Xin feel that something was wrong when he heard it.
Forget about what I said later, my wife and I are in a free relationship, why are we being treated as role models? Speechless.
Anyway, while chatting along the way, Xu Xin arrived at an office building that he didn't know where it was.
After going upstairs, I saw the door number of Niefeng Entertainment in an office building that didn't know how big it was. And my own group of teenagers.
There was also Liu Momo who was chatting with everyone.
"coming?"
The short-haired lady smiled and waved:
"What do you want to eat for lunch?"
"Can't eat."
Xu Xin shook his head directly:
"The 11:50 flight back to Yanjing, Mimi is still waiting at home. I will come over to sign and say hello to everyone."
Hearing this, everyone in the room was a little surprised:
"Don't want to eat?"
"Want to leave?"
"So urgent?"
There were a lot of voices.
Xu Xin nodded:
"Well, she missed me about the share transfer agreement?"
"Here it is."
Liu Momo pushed over two documents.
Xu Xin took it and directly picked up the pen on the table. Zhang Yimou's words suddenly rang in his mind:
"Anything that requires your signature, have an attorney present."
Does he have a lawyer?
without.
It's not necessary either.
For Liu Momo, he didn't care about the original start-up fee of 15 million.
As for these young people, we all made a promise in front of our ancestors to advance together and retreat together.
Therefore, he just looked at his 30% share transfer amount, and after making sure it was correct, he signed his name.
After the two contracts are signed, the remaining issue of how to take effect is no longer up to him.
"alright.
After putting down his pen, Xu Xin, still the absolute majority shareholder of Holding 55, looked at everyone and said:
"We are all people who have been playing since childhood. I don't hide or hide some things. I will keep the remaining shares for Sister Mo and won't touch them anymore. Since everyone wants to do it, then Listen to Sister Mo and do it well. In the current company, Sister Mo is the final decision-maker, and this is written in the contract. This is one of our own people, and this is what I want to express."
He said this to his group of young boys.
Then, he turned to look at Liu Momo:
"Sister Mo, these people are my brothers and sisters who I grew up playing with.
sister. The trust between us is an unbreakable bond composed of friendship, family affection, and blood. Since everyone has chosen to entrust me with their trust, I cannot let them down. It's like they won't let me down
Therefore, if there is any problem, let’s discuss it openly and honestly. When we people in Xujiawan go out to do things, we should be straightforward and praise the right things. If something is wrong, train me. From now on, we are all brothers who stir up trouble in the pot. If we don't stick together outside, we will be bullied, but we must also be consistent internally. So if you have anything to say, don’t hide it, just say it directly. Let’s work together to make this matter better and better. Is it ok? "
Liu Momo nodded seriously:
"good."
She actually knew very well why Xu Xin told them so briefly.
Because everyone is so familiar.
The weight between the lines is clear to everyone.
And if I tell myself in more detail, I hope that I will be more tolerant.
So, he also gave his own response:
"We are all shareholders. If we own shares, we are all responsible for the company. Just rest assured~"
"Um!"
Xu Xin smiled and nodded:
"That's alright. I'll leave then. Is there anything else you need to do?" "You really don't want to stay for a meal?"
"If you don't eat, my wife misses me so much." After saying that, Xu Xin looked at Xu Yang:
"Come on, take me back.
"If I had known earlier, wouldn't we have just met at the airport?"
Xu Yang rolled his eyes.
"Haha, it's time to leave. Then you make me leave." He came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Indeed, as Xu Yang said, meeting at the airport is even easier.
But in the same way, the form of some things is greater than the process.
Having experienced the baptism of the Olympic Games, he knows this very well.
At this time, Liu Momo also said:
"Okay, then I won't keep you, but I still have to talk to you. My dad told me specifically when I came back this time. At the meeting, everyone agreed with that suggestion. So the next plan was submitted. At that time, the Olympic Games directing team needs someone to serve as a consultant. Because everyone likes the Olympic Games, which is a plan that first looks for a consistent concept. My dad got you to be one of the pre-determined candidates, as long as you know."
*..."
Xu Xin paused
After thinking for a while, he asked:
“This time’s creative solution team is still a local person from the Magic City?”
"right."
She responded:
"Everyone at the meeting felt that the "window" you proposed was to let everyone see the concept inside the home, which was correct."
"Okay, I understand. Then I'm leaving?"
"Um."
"Copyright thing?" "Leave it to me."
"good."
.....
On the way back in the car, Xu Xin didn't say much, but chewed on the information revealed in Liu Momo's words. Unconsciously, he looked up at the city in front of him.
There was a vague premonition.
It seems like this place won’t be too unfamiliar in the future, right?
|...
When Xu Xin returned home again, he suddenly found that there were five or six strangers in the house, which made him think he had gone to the wrong door.
Then he saw Yang Mi, who was following a woman with a pretty good figure who was doing exercises on a yoga mat. "you are back!"
Seeing Xu Xin, Yang Mi's eyes immediately lit up. "Well, who is this?"
"Oh, yes, let me introduce you to my pregnancy fitness coach, Sister Fang." Yang Mi, who seemed to be in a happy mood, jumped up and down and began to introduce Xu Xin to the strangers at home. Fitness coach, nutritionist, personal doctor, psychological counselor, caregiver
Not counting Zhang Jiao, a team of ten people has gathered around Yang Mi. Plus my parents and a few assistants.
Good guy, why would she be alone among a dozen people?
This treatment
Xu Xin instantly felt that his life was not as good as a dog, right? "Zai Zai and Niuniu?"
Looking at the two black backs in the cage in the backyard, Xu Xin regretted: "Retired?"
“It’s considered a forced retirement.
Yang Mi did not come close, but stood beside Xu Xin and explained:
"Dr. Xue said that keeping pets during pregnancy can help the baby resist allergens. Many people think that they should not be close to pets during pregnancy, but this is actually wrong. Pets live with people, and as long as they are dewormed regularly, they are generally free of parasites. Yes. You can’t get close to some wild dogs and cats.”
"Then why are they imprisoned together? Why not let them out?"
"As for pest control, after all, I just retired from the army. On the one hand, I need to familiarize myself with the environment, and on the other hand, I need to do a pest control. I just sent them back yesterday and they had to be locked up for 24 hours. It's almost done now. How about you put them out?" Come out?"
“Forget it, let’s be thorough.
Although I am not worried that these two children will not remember "home", give it to yourself. But parasites are difficult to detect with the naked eye, let alone eggs.
Therefore, it is better to be careful and not to fool around.
Ignoring the two black backs that had grown into big dogs, he said to Yang Mi, "Has there been any change in your body recently?"
"No, everything is normal. It's just that I can eat more than before. Actually, I'm not worried about other things. I'm mainly worried about stretch marks. That thing can't go down, which is very distressing.
"Then how to prevent it?"
"Wear moisturizing oil, but that thing is just an auxiliary thing. It depends on the individual's physique. Some people have it, and some people don't. I'm worried that if it grows a lot in the future, how will I take wedding photos at the beach?"
After not seeing each other for a few days, the young couple was chatting with their two dogs in the backyard.
"I told Sister Zeng about my pregnancy. Guess what Sister Zeng said?"
"How to say?"
"The first sentence asked me if I wanted to stop acting, haha. The second sentence told me that she didn't plan to tell the company. In fact, everyone is not stupid at heart. Among the female artists in the company now, I am the only one who can take action. . As a result, in the process of my popularity, the company played very little role. After adding that I will not interfere with the Hong Mansion, it is already known to everyone that I am going to leave. It doesn’t matter whether she says it or not~"
"Who else knows?
"There is no one else."
"Where's Liu Yifei?"
"I haven't told you yet. Don't worry. I'll make an appointment to have dinner together after the New Year. We'll see when she makes an appointment with me in the next few days. Let's talk about it when we invite her to my house for dinner."
"Um."
Xu Xin responded, thought for a while, and told her about "The Voice".
Yang Mi frowned:
"The TV station is so troublesome?"
"That's right. But the money must be a lot of money. Just take it one step at a time. Variety shows don't count for us. The audience is the last word. If the show is good, then the confidence will be strong. Shaanxi TV or Shaanxi TV If we are kind, we can look elsewhere. Anyway, this station is independently operated by Xiying Film Studio. Of course, Shaanxi Film Studio cannot control it so leniently. We cannot treat it with a villain's heart. We should always pursue a win-win situation in everything.
"Well, there's no rush to think about it now. All actions this year will start in June."
"Um.
"Where's the movie?"
“It’s the rhythm I like.
Recalling the fragments of his past few days, Xu Xin said:
"The things I photographed are all in my thoughts. They go very smoothly."
"But I felt that I still had room for improvement, so I calmed down and thought about it. In fact, some plots could be handled more perfectly.
“…”
Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly:
"If you ask me to take pictures now, I won't even take pictures. I'm afraid those cosmetics will irritate the children."
"How can you be so fragile?" Yang Mi was speechless.
"But I really need to calm down. After filming "The Wind", I suddenly felt so empty. I have to recharge, calm down, and read more books."
"The script of "Broken Silence" is not for you to do this, it just happens."
"Brother, don't you think about what your story is!" Listening to Xu Xin's words, Yang Mi couldn't laugh or cry:
"Even if I like that story, I won't go crazy thinking about it at this juncture, right? I'm telling you this, I won't touch this script again until the child is born. It's like a ghost movie, the more I watch it, the more I get scared. , I don’t want it. So my latest task is to read books and watch movies
Movies, experience more things, they will be useful in the future. From now on, I have to be quiet for at least a year, right? Just a chance to settle down a bit.”
"Um.
This is true.
Actors really need a settling-in process.
Every time after exhausting one's body and mind to interpret a role, if one takes a period of silence, self-examination, self-enlightenment, and self-precipitation, then there may be a different change next time he comes out.
While the two were chatting, suddenly, Sun Ting came over with Yang Mi's phone:
"Sister, there is a call from a person named Xu Haofeng."
"Um."
"Xu Haofeng? Who is it?"
"It's the screenwriter I met at Master's that morning." Yang Mi said, after taking Sun Ting's call, she turned on the speakerphone:
"Hello, senior brother, hello."
"Uh, hello, Mimi. Are you busy now?"
"No, I'm staying at home. What's wrong?"
"It's like this. When we chatted with Mr. Yu last time, didn't we talk about Gong Baotian?"
"Well, yes."
"I had a little inspiration and designed a female character. The general background is Gong Baotian's daughter, known as "Mr. Gong Er". However, the script has not been fully designed yet. I have some rough story lines. Do you have any ideas? Interested in taking a look?"
"ah?"
Yang Mi was a little surprised. She turned around and glanced at her brother who was sitting on the stone steps smoking a few steps away. Then she responded readily:
"Okay, but it's not convenient for me to go out now. Brother, why don't you send me an email? I have a printer at home." "Okay, actually there isn't much, it's mainly just some brief introductions to the story. Gong Er is also proficient in Baguazhang. To be honest, I Or is it designed "based on you".
Xu Haofeng's voice was quite steady, and he couldn't tell he was lying at all:
"I'm showing you this. I actually want to hear your understanding of this character. It was you who inspired it, so although it's a little weird, there are a few scenes in it. Can you interpret it?"
"Haha, audition?"
Yang Mi was not angry, but rather interested. Based on yourself?
That's really interesting. So I agreed directly:
"Okay, is there a time limit?"
"No, just let me know when it's done. Tell me how you understand it, and then you can watch and act out the few clips."
"okay!"
Yang Mi agreed directly:
"No problem. Can I give you my email address?" "Haha, okay, no problem.
"Uh-huh"
Han An was polite, and after Yang Mi hung up the phone, she handed it to Sun Ting: "Send him the email address. Print it out and give it to me after you receive it."
After he finished speaking, Xu Xin, who was holding a cigarette and looking at Niuniu and Wenwen, asked: "Is this person the screenwriter who was beaten up by you?"
"Yes, he is quite nice and speaks slowly and calmly." "Based on you? Who is Gong Baotian?" "A martial arts master from the Northeast."
Yang Mi began to tell the story of Guan Baotian. Xu He was listening there.
"Did you act in a kung fu movie first?"
"That's right. I feel like it would be very enjoyable to act~"
"But this story sounds like the Republic of China? The martial arts of the Republic of China?" Xu Jin thought for a while and found that he couldn't figure out how these two things could be connected. His understanding of the so-called "Kung Fu" is not as thorough as that of his fiancée.
The second one is purely the TV series Tea Poison. When he thinks of the Republic of China, he misses his aunt.
When he thought about his concubine, he moved towards Yang Mi, but he didn't dare to get wet.
What's the use of just looking at it?
Looking around, it is also the moon in the flowers and water in the mirror
Tsk~
"Why were your eyes so strange yesterday?" Yang Mi was a little confused.
"No. I didn't think about anything. Don't think too much."
"....?"
She always felt that there was something in her brother's words, but at this time Sun Ting had already walked over: "Sister, he sent it over."
"Well, let me take a look at your cigarette photo."
Hearing this, Xu Xin twisted
He put out the cigarette, then stood up and walked to her side. The script on paper had no name, but the first paragraph piqued Xu Xin's interest:
"Gong Er (Guan Ruomei): The daughter of Gong Yutian. Gong Er was regarded as the apple of his eye by his father and uncles. He watched his father fight with others since he was a child. "The sound he heard the most was the sound of broken bones." He had an innate knowledge of martial arts. He has a lot of talent and obsession, and his character has a strong and stubborn character that “can only advance, not retreat”.”
Read on.
.....
Gong Er: "My father often said that people who practice martial arts have three stages: seeing themselves, seeing the world, and seeing all living beings. I have seen myself, and I have seen the world, but unfortunately I cannot see all living beings. I have not finished this road. , I hope you can keep it going.”
This is the second paragraph.
.....
The third paragraph:
"They say there are no regrets in life, but that's just out of anger. How boring it would be if there were really no regrets."
.....
The fourth paragraph:
"If I had really had the courage to learn this trick back then, I would have definitely been a star on the stage. I would do it a hundred times, and I would feel sad and happy at the same time. When I got tired of singing Yang Clan's Female General, I would switch to singing "Jingming Meng" in the Garden. At that time, you were there In the audience, I sing and you watch. It’s quite interesting to think about such an encounter.”
...
The fifth paragraph:
"It's time to burn incense, eat and drink, and do things that need to be done even if the sky is thundering. You must return the things belonging to the government today.
that is all.
One page, five paragraphs.
"Yao~ What a domineering woman."
After Xu Xin finished reading, a vague shadow appeared in his mind. "Don't say it, it's interesting.
As a director, his instinct made him feel a strong interest after reading these five paragraphs. The story seems good.
He nodded repeatedly:
"Five paragraphs, the character of this woman is fully reflected. Her character, words, are 70% domineering and 30% tender. But this is fake, the real thing should be 100% Domineering, and every extra bit of tenderness will make her feel a kind of pain that is difficult to let go. It is this pain that makes her tenderness seem so valuable and a good story.
“…”
Yang Mi was speechless.
Or……
I am really speechless:
"How did you tell?"
"Look with your eyes, what else can you use?"
Xu Xin rolled his eyes.
Then he ignored her and walked around in the yard...
The more he thought about it, the clearer Gong Er's appearance seemed to be.
She wants to be taller.
Be cold.
Be tough.
Be strong.
These words must not be said in a lingering tone, but should be said in a proactive way of giving in that is born from a sense of alienation...
In other words, when she said this, she was trying to distance herself from others.
The softer the words, the further the distance.
There shouldn't be any intimate gestures, and there shouldn't be any lingering.
From beginning to end, "dominance" lingers.
Let that touch of tenderness turn into a rush like a cloud and dragon appearing.
This is the right taste.
Thinking of this...
Yang Mi, who was in a daze while reading the script, heard Xu Xin's voice again:
"Well, that's right."
"....what happened again?"
She asked in confusion as she was still thinking about her role.
Then he saw the sincere expression on his brother's face.
I saw him smashing and smashing his mouth, as if he had tasted a delicious appetizer, but as soon as he started eating, he found that the portion was so small that it was gone in one bite, and he was still unsatisfied:
"This role... is great."
