Holding the vibrating phone, Xu Xin looked at it... and still chose to answer the call.
"Hello? Director Zhang."
"You're not going to the Golden Horse Awards this time?" Zhang Yimou asked directly when he came up.
"Well, if Yang Mi goes, I won't go. If both of us leave, there will be no one around the child, so I won't worry."
"That's it...then it's okay."
Hearing his words, Xu Xin asked doubtfully: "What are your plans?"
"Yes, I originally asked the selected children to come over for an audition this week. Since you don't have time this week, I will ask them to come next week."
"Well, that's okay. Let's arrange it for next week. Yang Mi will leave tomorrow and come back on Sunday. I really can't go out these days."
The old man said this not to mean that he was not confident in his casting, but that "Golden Hill" was produced in the name of "Hawthorn Tree" after all. As a director, it was easy for people to see through it.
After Xu Xin finished speaking, Zhang Yimou responded: "Okay. Let's put it to next week."
"Well, have you watched yesterday's audition tape?"
"Look. Zhou Ruanyu, you don't think about it anymore, do you?"
"Yes, her natural temperament is not bad, but it is a bit different from the Jingqiu I have in mind."
"I know, Momo told me... That's it, I quite like this child, I will take the crew of "Jinling" there. Where are you?
After the overall audition, I won’t mention the others. Regarding Jingqiu and Lao San, my suggestion for the role of Lao San is to choose Dou Yao. Because he has a relatively strong sense of simplicity. Jingqiu’s words..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Yimou was silent for a moment.
He seemed to be undecided.
Xu Xin also took this opportunity to think about it and said, "If I have to choose, I want to choose Liu Yifei."
"Then you should consider the choice of the third child. Dou Yao is very suitable for Jing Tian... You can think of them as a pair. As for Liu Yifei, her gentle fairy spirit is quite different from Lin Xing's. The new ones match well."
"Yes, I think so too. So if we choose between these two pairs, I will definitely come out together. There will not be a situation where I choose Jing Tian and Lin Xinxin. Because the two don't match well."
"Then it's up to you. If you choose Liu Yifei, then you have to find a way to get rid of the fashionable atmosphere in her. It's best to spend a few months polishing this character, or you can bring it out bit by bit. Follow her."
"okay."
Xu Xin responded, but his eyes fell on the notebook in front of him.
After thinking for a while, he tentatively said: ""Three Guns"..."
"Don't worry about these things, the important thing is to look forward."
"......good."
"Well, that's it." The phone hung up.
Yang Mi, who listened to the two chatting from beginning to end, did not pay attention to "Hawthorn Tree", but said:
"The way "Three Guns" is now, you said that Director Zhang feels uncomfortable
youngest? "..." Xu Xin said nothing.
After just looking at the content on the web page for a while, he said:
"It doesn't matter. What's up, the movie is also released...right? It's your turn to leave tomorrow. Have you prepared everything you need to prepare?"
Hearing this, Yang Mi thought that he was "not serious" when he woke up in the morning. She pointed speechlessly at the small refrigerator in the corner, which was about the size of a bedside table:
"Who are you looking down on? There is enough for your daughter and son to drink for a month."
"...?"
Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, then said in a dumbfounded voice:
"Who told you this? I mean the acceptance speech or something..."
"No. It's better to just improvise when the time comes. Isn't it just random to give an award speech? Thank you to the crew, thank you to the director, thank you to the fans and friends, and thank you to the Golden Horse Award.
. Isn’t that great? "
She looked indifferent. No desires or desires.
Anyway, I got a golden rooster, and by the way, I also set a record as the youngest golden rooster actress.
It's best if you get the gold horse. Even if you can't get it...it won't be a pity.
Xu Xin sounded reasonable.
He has always felt at ease when his wife was doing things. Because the chain has never fallen off.
"Have you watched the video of "The Hawthorn Tree"? What did you think of what we just discussed?"
"The truth is that I have seen it, the lie is that I have not seen it."
"...What is this statement?"
"Because it's hard to choose. It's a subjective factor. I definitely want to praise my family. But objectively speaking... the relationship between Jing Tian and you also symbolizes our father and her family. So I I feel that choosing a well will be more helpful to our family...
"Can you stop being so realistic? What I make is a movie, it's art!"
"Art can't be eaten as food, honey."
".."
Looking at Xu Xin who was dumbfounded, she pinched her brother's cheek with a smile:
"So you see, it's hard to tell the truth or lie. So... just pretend that I haven't read it... If you're really in a dilemma, why don't you choose poetry... ..”
"...I thank you!"
"Hehe~"
As the saying goes, the mother worries when a son travels a thousand miles, but the son does not worry when a mother travels a thousand miles. This is not true at all.
At least for Xu Xin...that's the case.
It seems that my sister really treats him as a son... which is wrong, or she treats him as a useless thing.
"Hey, let me tell you, don't regret this milk. There is plenty of it. Don't let our child freeze it when he can't drink it. Do you hear me?"
"I know, how is that possible? It's so unhygienic."
"Also, you need to sterilize the baby bottle after using it once, you know? And
Also be careful with dog hair. The last time my dad finished cleaning the bottle, there was a dog hair in it and it really annoyed me! "
"Don't worry, I know."
"Also, this milk can be used and heated at any time. Don't try to save trouble by taking it out of the refrigerator before going to bed at night... That won't work. Feed the child whenever he is hungry! You know! "
"...I know, don't worry."
"Then don't let Zaizai and Niuniu go to bed! These two guys are always trying to squeeze into the bed these days!"
"......OK!"
"When you take your children out for a walk, be sure to wear thicker clothes and wear cotton socks outside your socks, otherwise your feet will freeze..."
"......Um."
"besides......"
"oh."
"Then......"
"..."
"Oh yes......"
"..."
"Remember...you are mute!"
"Ouch!!! Why are you so stained!"
Xu Xin looked at his virtuous wife with a look of "I'm very worried about you", and his face was filled with impatience:
"I take care of my children much better than you. How can I show off to you? Leave quickly. You won't be able to catch the No. 2 bus in a while."
After saying that, he sat on the sofa, took out a pack of Calbee Classic Tomato Flavor, and placed it on the crawling mat in front of the two ignorant little guys:
"Want some fries?"
"..."
Yang Mi's face immediately started to glow green.
But Xu Xin seemed to know nothing. Seeing that the two children were motionless, he said, "Aren't you coming? Then you two can open it for me. Then what... Brother, light a cigarette for daddy."
"...Xu, go to hell! Hey! Half-step collapse fist!"
"Hey hahaha
Ha...I'm joking with you...***You're really fighting! "
The moves that only existed in the legends of the world were used on Xu Laopi again, which he had not seen for a long time.
But no matter what, it’s time for mom to go.
He carried the box and got into the car.
The two children didn't feel anything at all.
In the two months since they were born, their parents have always been by their side, and the two children have nothing particularly anxious.
Anyway, Zaizai and Niuniu are here. It doesn’t matter if my parents are there or not.
Xu Xin picked up the computer and checked the news about "Three Guns" online.
Douban ratings... there should be no way to control them. It has dropped to 6.8. However, the box office performance is pretty good, with the box office exceeding 21 million on the first day.
Yes, you are not mistaken.
The old man raised the first-day box office of domestic films to an unreasonable level.
Xu Xin, who had already tasted the first taste, was relatively calm this time.
Isn't that good?
It shows that the film market is getting better and better.
Although the reviews on the Internet are still very bad...or even worse.
There is no one who doesn’t scold them.
The only thing that can be praised in the whole film is the old man's expertise.
The things photographed from the location of Zhangye are indeed as beautiful as an oil painting.
But the rest is really gone.
But Xu Xin is quite happy...or in one sense relatively happy. Because the purpose of "Three Guns" has been achieved.
This movie is so bad... maybe looking at it now, no matter how bad it is, it is still a movie that will definitely make money without losing money.
But according to a line in the script of "The Grandmaster", it is: "One cannot only focus on the road ahead and forget about the life behind you."
Xu Xin was particularly touched by this sentence.
The Internet also has memory.
Regardless of how much money Zhang Weiping made from this movie
Money...you know, in the early stage, it was Kaixin.com, various banks, and media companies. These publicity expenses are huge sums of money.
Even if the Internet has no memory, investors’ money does.
After this incident, regardless of the audience, these investment companies must also understand one thing:
"Zhang Yimou is also good at making bad movies."
You can call "Golden Armor" exaggerated, but you can never call it bad. Why?
Because the script of that movie is "Thunderstorm".
At most, when it comes to film and television adaptations of a one-sentence drama, it's a little acclimated.
What's more, the global box office of "The Golden Jacket" is not a shame.
"House of Flying Daggers" is bad, but anyone can see that the old man is playing with "political" and "historical" views in "Heroes". But "House of Flying Daggers" returns to the human perspective.
It sucks, but at least it was tolerable at that time when commercial movies were just beginning.
Everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones to build a structure for domestic commercial films. These are inevitable things.
But "Three Guns" is different.
In ten years from "Hero" to now, Zhang Yimou should be very mature in commercial films.
Coupled with the name of the Olympic Games, almost all investors have a blind trust in him.
Zhang Weiping also used this trust to expand the marketing of "Three Guns" from offline entities to online websites.
All investors are waving their money and want a piece of the pie.
In other words, it doesn't matter even if this movie suffers a little bit, as long as it can get new pictures and director Zhang, then it will be a smooth success in the future.
But "Three Guns" taught everyone a lesson at this moment. The old man is not a god, and he will make mistakes.
Once the concept of "God is also a human being" is introduced into business
The film and television industry has been given a new picture... Be it Zhang Weiping or other investment companies. It’s time for everyone’s rationality to return.
The scale of commercial value is once again in the hands of New Picture and other investors.
It’s no longer tilted to one side. The most straightforward truth.
It has become impossible for Zhang Weiping to find those media companies of the same type that are supposed to be competitors, include them in his movies, and get a double share of the money.
Just like BAT, you can only choose one to invest in. Without that layer of invincible golden body, there is no such thing as receiving benefits from the three families.
In the future, investment companies will also treat New Picture, a company with only one director, with a more cautious attitude, and will more carefully evaluate investment risks and commercial value.
Therefore, from the perspective of insiders, the failure of "Three Guns" can almost be said to be a "loss of reputation."
It's just that this disgrace is not that exaggerated, it just changes the new picture from a god to a human being.
But this is what the old man wants.
What he wants is for Zhang Weiping to return to the track of me making movies, you doing business operations, and us not interfering with each other.
The old man has already warned you that this script is immature and not good enough for the sake of friendship. But you have to do it hard to make money.
As a result, the golden body is now broken. If you, Zhang Weiping, regard the old man as a friend, you should clear your mind.
"Absolutely awesome."
Xu Xin would sigh with emotion every time he thought of the old man's intention. Of course.
The movie should be bad, but it's still bad. If you deserve to be scolded, you still have to be scolded.
But no one says you can’t be a coward when being scolded, right? I didn’t see that the old man had been quiet for the past two days.
The evening of December 11th.
Lutheran Union Senior Club.
"What's wrong? Are you too noisy?"
The crowd on the first floor were chatting with each other, and lyrical music was playing. Everyone was bright and beautiful. In the club full of handsome men and beauties, Wang Sicong walked to the sofa on the second floor and sat on the sofa. Asked Yang Mi, the peerless and isolated delicate rose, who exuded the aura of "Keep strangers out".
Yang Mi nodded and picked up the stainless steel thermos cup next to the champagne glass.
What was brewed in it was the scented tea she brought herself.
"It's a bit. I haven't been to a place like this for a year or two, and here I am suddenly. Seeing so many people makes me a little uncomfortable."
"Tsk."
After hearing this, Wang Sicong simply sat next to her, crossed his legs and said:
"You and Lao Xu are really amazing. He is also very good. Last time we found a bar here to reserve a room, he was leaning on the railing on the second floor, picking his ears and making a fuss."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Mi pushed his crossed legs down:
"Why are you shaking your legs? After all, you are also a young man. Be more particular. Do you have to be called a nouveau riche?"
"...Tsk, tsk, you've already caught up with my mother."
"I will remember this. Next time I see Aunt Lin, I will ask her what she thinks when she hears this."
"Haha~"
Wang Sicong wasn't afraid either, but his legs stopped shaking after all. He leaned on the sofa and whispered:
"Hey, did you see it?"
Following the direction he pointed, Yang Mi glanced at it.
Very silly and innocent, Jiao was chatting and laughing with a man who looked to be in his forties.
"What? Do you have an idea?... Stop it. Isn't it dirty?" Wang Sicong rolled his eyes after hearing Yang Mi's words:
"What are you thinking about? Look to the side."
Following the position he pointed, Yang Mi continued to tilt her head, and then she saw Lang Lang chatting with a... girl with big breasts.
"Yo?" She raised her eyebrows:
"The iron tree is blooming? Who is that girl? She looks okay."
"I just went to say hello, and she seemed to be called...Gong or something, but I watched the two chatting for a while.
It's night. I guess it looks right
Already..."
"Then just keep an eye out. If it works, call me over to my house for a meal and let's get to know each other."
Yang Mi said, turning around and looking around: "Where are the wheels?"
"Jiang Yuchen is here... The two of them left together, either to find a place to chat, or... maybe to rekindle an old relationship. Alas..."
Speaking of this, Wang Sicong sighed:
"What did you say you were here for... If Lao Xu is here, I can still ask him to be my wingman. If you are here, you said I have to help Lao Xu protect you, in case of encounter I have to be on guard against anyone who comes to bother you without opening their eyes... Seriously, can you let Lao Xu out next time? We IGF4 don't fit together, and I can't even use my martial arts skills."
"Pull him down quickly." Yang Mi sneered:
"It's IGF4... I'm not bragging. From what I know about my brother, there's not even one person in your house that he can take a liking to. I don't understand you men yet? Give me some sunshine. It’s brilliant ~ people say
A few soft words will make you lose your mind. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang.
After taking a look at the caller, she said:
"Okay, don't you think I'm disturbing you? I'll just leave."
"Eh? No, no, no, no. It's just a joke, why are you so impatient? We promised Lao Xu to take care of you..."
"Take care of me?" Yang Mi was speechless:
"One of them went to the jungle to find out if they had rekindled their relationship with their ex-girlfriend. One of them encountered a large wave of zombies... His face looked like he had had a knife on his lips and nose. One of them wandered around and found that he didn't meet any zombies. When you find the perfect partner...we are all local foxes, what are you talking about with me?"
She revealed the truth ruthlessly. Wang Sicong listened with disgust in his eyes:
"Why are you so dismissive? Can't you say that I don't have someone you like?"
"Tch~ I won't accompany you anyway. Sister Bingbing is here. I'll talk to her about a TV series."
With that said, Sun Ting appeared out of nowhere.
"Sister, are you leaving?"
"Okay, let's go back to the hotel."
Yang Mi nodded, took the thermos cup and walked out. But just after taking two or three steps, he suddenly turned his head:
"Whether you or Old Wolf, tell him what I said later, calm down, do you hear me? There are so many scheming people here, especially after the party... It's OK if you feel hot, But don’t get too excited. I don’t know how many people are staring at you and people like him. Don’t cause trouble for yourself. I won’t talk about it if you have experience. As for Old Wolf...you have to help him pay attention. point."
Wang Sicong naturally knew what she meant. really.
Lao Lang...has a weakness when it comes to women.
If he really gets involved, he might not end up well in ten months.
It's too easy to be taken advantage of by some colorful and bitchy people. So he nodded:
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him."
"Well... Of course, if we are really in love, we won't talk so much about falling in love at first sight. When we return to Yanjing, we will come home for dinner and have a meal of wine. It should be basically obvious. You can see it all."
"Okay, Mama Yang, walk slowly~!"
"Virtue~"
Yang Mi rolled her eyes.
"Take care of yourselves. When Xu Xin comes next time, you can take him to see Lin Chiling."
After saying that, he took Sun Ting and walked to the first floor, minding his own business.
Wang Sicong didn't go downstairs either. He just held the railing with his hands and bent down to watch Yang Mi leave with a smile after being greeted by a group of people. Then he waved to Tangerine next to him.
Orange walked over quickly: "Mr. Wang, what's wrong?"
"Go and buy two boxes of Okamoto. Unpack them and bring them over... Oh, yes, and buy some powder."
"..."
Orange was stunned: "Powder?"
"Yes, it doesn't matter what it is, yeast, or some kind of milk powder,
"Oh, no need to be so polite."
Yan Ni shook hands with her and said with a smile:
"We're all one family...Okay, Mimi, you guys can talk, I'll go up first."
"Hey, okay, shopkeeper.
See you tomorrow~"
After waving goodbye to Yan Ni, Liang Binning also directed Yang Tianzhen to check in, and then took Yang Mi's hand affectionately:
"Where's Xu Xin? Not here?"
"No. I'm taking care of the kids at home."
As she said that, she looked at Liang Binning's thick dark circles and asked with concern:
"The filming of "Rizhao Chongqing" hasn't been finished yet?"
"It's coming soon. It will probably be completed in another week...it's in very bad shape, right?"
Hearing this, Yang Mi said from the bottom of her heart: "You have worked too hard this year."
It's not about care or affection. But pure emotion.
One year... 7 dramas.
Her scalp was numb just thinking about it.
I don’t know how Liang Binning persisted. After hearing this, Liang Binning shook her head slightly:
"There's nothing we can do about it."
After saying that, seeing Yan Ni walking into the elevator, Liang Binning asked:
"Didn't you say that a character wants to see me? What kind of show?"
"Suddenly I don't want you to act, Sister Bingbing."
"Ha~"
Liang Binning couldn't help laughing and said: "You can't pity me just because I am a delicate flower~" "Haha~"
The two of them were joking and walking towards the elevator.
"Tianzhen, just come to me after you finish it.
Mimi, which floor is it? "
"908."
After telling Yang Tianzhen the room number, they walked into the elevator together.
After entering the elevator, Liang Binning whispered: "Unexpectedly, I bumped into two generations of girls in the same room today."
"Haha~"
This stalker Yang Mi is indeed interesting to listen to. While laughing, he shook his head:
"The shopkeeper came here because of Guan Hu's "Bullfighting"."
"Oh~~ What's going on with that character you mentioned?" Since there are no outsiders at this moment, Yang Mi doesn't hide anything: "Sister Bingbing, do you know Director Zheng Xiaolong?"
"Director Zheng? I know, what?"
Zheng Xiaolong is not an ordinary director, he plays a decisive role in the TV drama industry.
but......
"Has Beijing's attitude towards you softened?"
"It has nothing to do with Jingquan. He was interested in the edition of the book I had.
Quan, wants to adapt it into a TV series. Then there was a character in it. When Director Zheng saw the description of that character, he thought of you, Sister Bingbing. When we communicated on the phone before, we talked about this role... and Director Zheng knew about our relationship, so he wanted me to ask Sister Bingbing. "
"Well......"
Liang Binning heard her explanation and asked, "What is the name of this book?"
""The Legend of Zhen Huan", an online movie. Have you seen it, Sister Bingbing?"
"No, I don't watch much of the Internet... Is it a palace fighting drama?" "Yes, something like Jin Zhi Yu Ni... Director Zheng likes it very much, and I also like it very much."
"Then my role is..."
"A woman named Concubine Hua is Nian Gengyao's sister." Upon hearing this, Liang Binning instinctively reacted to the dynasty. But he immediately frowned:
"Concubine Hua? I do know this person. She seems to be Yongzheng's favorite concubine, right?... In my impression, the posthumous title given to her by the empress seems to be a very grand word..."
"right,
Dunsu. but......"
When Yang Mi said this, she paused for a moment and then said:
"But in this case, Concubine Hua is a villain..." "Not the protagonist?"
"One of the villains..."
"Well......"
Liang Binning, who was originally quite interested, suddenly lost a lot of her anger after hearing the word "one".
However, she did not say it directly, but asked:
"This play...do you want to act in it?"
"I don't act... How can I have time to act in a TV series?"
She doesn't act...
Hearing this, Liang Binning's interest dropped even further. But she still nodded:
"Have you brought the script? I'll read the script first..."
"The script hasn't been finished yet. When I talked with Director Zheng a few days ago, a general situation came up. Then Director Zheng wanted to find you, Sister Bingbing, to play the role of Concubine Hua, so I brought the complete play to it. Sister Bingbing, let’s take it back and look at it first~ It’s really pretty.”
"no problem."
No matter what he thought in his heart, Liang Binning agreed directly with a smile on his face.
But the interest in my heart was gone. It's just a TV series, still a supporting role...
Her hard work this year will definitely lead to a blowout period next year.
Otherwise, the hard work will be in vain.
During the blowout period, the team will begin to rapidly expand its business value.
At this time, playing a supporting role...that is, the relationship is here.
If you compare it to others...let alone Zheng Xiaolong, no matter which director comes to her and asks her to play a supporting role, it is impossible. But this cannot be said clearly.
Anyway, just read the synopsis of the script. Face must be given.
Just pass the time.
