I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 75 073 Small Conflict

Chapter 75 073.Small conflict

Did Shang Jing understand?

Naturally I understood.

He didn't want to trick others either.

He is a soldier.

He is a national first-level director.

He also has a heart for pursuing art.

Why do you want to trick others?

So, he nodded:

"Lao Zhang, I understand what you mean...that's it, Xiao Xu."

The middle-aged man who always felt like he was dreaming at this moment asked seriously:

"This is more than ten million..."

"I have enough money, really enough, Director Shang."

Xu Xin nodded, and the sunshine of his smile made people feel good. At the same time, the nouveau riche temperament suddenly flashed through:

"If you don't believe it, we can check it now. Then whenever you need it, I will transfer the money to you, okay?"

"...That's not what I meant."

Shang Jing was speechless and quickly shook his head:

"I mean, it's a risk of losing money."

"I know... To tell you the truth, it doesn't matter to me whether I lose money or not. But when I encounter a good story and can't see it on TV, I feel itchy. What's more... you just think that I am from you. Let's start accumulating experience. Compared with you and Director Zhang, I am just a student who doesn't understand anything. I will definitely have to deal with attracting investments in the future, or something... This will be my internship. Is it ok?"

No, can you please stop being so humble?

Shang Jing was speechless.

It's like... I'm a bad person.

It's true.

This money...

He really wants to.

Because the two investors he met today have clearly rejected his script...

But at this moment, there is really no way out, and there is another village with dark flowers and bright flowers.

But this young man's attitude gave him the illusion that "I feel particularly guilty when I take your money"...

At this moment, Zhang Wu's phone suddenly rang.

Looking down...

"It's a conspiracy."

Zhang Wu waved his hand to signal the two of them to stop talking, and directly answered the phone:

"Hey, Yimou... not yet... who?... This... okay, then I'll go there now... um, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Wu shook his head:

"Yimou called me to come over for dinner, and Gong Lifei said to call on people from our creative team... In this way, the two of us can chat slowly. When I go, I will tell them that Xiao Xu you will not participate, okay?"

"Yeah, thank you, Director Zhang."

"It's okay... Lao Shang, you guys talk. The investment matter is settled, and then you can go back and prepare. After all, Xiao Xu is young and may need to find an experienced person to help him. This matter is left to me. Let me do it and we just behave, okay?"

Once again understanding the subtext of his old classmate, Shang Jing nodded:

"No problem... Let's go to my room."

"Okay, let's go together then..."

…

Ninth floor.

Xu Xin was reading an investment plan handed over by Shang Jing.

The above mainly lists estimates of various costs.

When Xu Xin saw something, he asked:

"Bai Zhantang - Sha Yi, the salary is 2,000 yuan per episode... Here, Director Shang, is Zhu Wushuang also a very important supporting role?"

The story he read yesterday was in the fourth episode. The main characters in it were "Bai Zhantang, Shopkeeper Tong, Mo Xiaobei, Li Dazui, Guo Furong, Lu Qinghou, and Xing Baotou."

I haven’t seen any scenes of Zhu Wushuang.

But she is starring here, but she does not have a starring name like the others, but is blank.

Shang Jing nodded:

"She appeared in the middle period, Bai Zhantang's junior sister."

"supporting role?"

"right."

"oh oh."

Xu Xin nodded.

He just asked casually.

But suddenly an idea flashed in Shang Jing's mind...

Today I came back with Xiao Xu...oh no, Xu Xin, there seems to be a beautiful girl too, right?

Could it be...

In other words, the thoughts of adults are not as simple as those of children.

Xu Xinzhen asked casually, but Shang Jing had an association because of this sentence.

And, recalling that girl's appearance and temperament...

The role of Zhu Wushuang is actually more like a propellant, which is not too important in Shang Jing's opinion.

That girl is fine too.

It's quite beautiful after all.

Does the investor mean...

After thinking for a while, Shang Jing remained silent.

It's not time yet.

…

"Director Shang, wait for Director Zhang to come back and ask how to invest. Do you have an electronic version here? Can you send me a copy and I can take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Jing said directly:

"Then just keep this copy. I'll print it out later...Then I..."

Upon hearing this tone, Xu Xin immediately understood and said directly:

"In this case, I will transfer you two hundred? Three hundred? I think it will cost a lot to rent the venue and the set building. How about you prepare it first? I'll ask you what the investment is all about, and then Including things like profit sharing... Let's ask professionals to come up with a plan and discuss it with each other, okay?"

"……OK!"

Feeling the other party's huge trust in taking money as money, Shang Jing nodded directly.

"In this way, you don't have to transfer the money first, but get this investment plan out first. I also have money here, so I'll put it aside first, how about it? I'll go back and make appointments with a few actors tomorrow, okay?"

"good!"

He was happy and so was Xu Xin.

I agreed immediately.

So, everyone was happy.

However, neither of them talked about the proportion of the share, but with Zhang Wu standing there, neither of them could open their mouths.

Therefore, the final result was that Shang Jing, who was relieved of his heartache, breathed a long sigh of relief.

Xu Xin returned to the room with the script.

He planned to seize the time to understand this story.

Just think of it as fishing time outside of work.

…

"..."

There was silence in the conference room.

There is also a video camera placed in the corner.

This is what the leaders requested, and they requested that everyone’s impact on the opening ceremony be recorded, and they would like to make an Olympic documentary or something in the future.

No one cares.

Wei Lanfang comes to do it.

And fourteen people just sat in the conference room, frowning and thinking hard.

This is actually the norm during meetings.

At the beginning, everyone discusses and then refutes or agrees with the opinions.

Finally, it was quiet, each thinking about his own things.

frown.

Xu Xin was thinking about it too.

Because he was thinking about what to do with Wuhuan.

While he was lost in thought, suddenly, Zhang Wu's voice sounded:

"One plot still doesn't work."

He stood up:

"Your idea of finding a drum is wrong."

He made a grabbing motion and said under the gaze of everyone:

"Look, you have to embody the spirit of an actor, right? How do you play the drums? Just like that... bang!"

He made a swiping motion:

"When the drumstick falls, this is the drum head. This movement is cool and neat. But if you have to look for the drum and look around, and everyone is looking left and right, that person will look very messy."

"How could there be chaos?"

Zhang Yimou shook his head:

"We designed each link, 1, 2, 3, 4, what beat, where to hit... the audience thought we were playing the drums, and then hit it... hit it together, light it up, and finally formed a five-ring …”

Zhang Yimou opposed Zhang Wu's view.

Stick to your idea.

This suddenly occurred to him while eating.

Then he hurriedly ended the dinner party and called everyone to come to the meeting.

The idea is that a group of people will come on stage with materials, and the audience will not be able to see the five rings, but various strange-shaped drums.

Then everyone started to knock, and after a while, the spliced place lit up.

After the final beating, all five rings lit up instantly...

Everyone frowned and continued to think.

Including Zhang Wu who retorted.

But Xu Xin had already followed Zhang Yimou's idea and sketched a rough outline on the paper.

"Director Zhang, is this what you mean?"

He put up the notebook in his hand. On the notebook were five rings that resembled a bird's nest structure. There were four human silhouettes standing in each of them. He could probably see holding drumsticks in his hands, standing next to the ring. As if ready to strike at any moment.

Zhang Yimou took one look and nodded immediately:

"Yes, yes, that's it."

He stood up directly and walked to Xu Xin. After picking up Xu Xin's notebook, he said to everyone:

"Look...it doesn't mean that there are only four people, but there can be many people. For example, people can form a circle, and then it's like a relay. Dong-dong-dong-dong! Everyone knocks on an area, but it must not light up at the same time. Just In the dark, and then these things shine, blah blah blah..."

He was dancing and holding the picture and describing it to everyone, vividly.

"Because they didn't light up at the same time, everyone couldn't tell that it was a five-ring ring. Finally, follow the drumbeat of the music: Boom! All five rings light up at once... Only then did everyone realize that this is the five rings... How about it? "

Then, he saw Ma Wen and others squinting at it, and simply handed Xu Xin's notebook to the others, letting everyone in the audience read it.

At this moment, Shen Danqing looked at it, closed the book, stood up and walked to the blackboard. With a few strokes, he sketched an outline similar to that of Xu Xin:

"This design concept is actually disastrous. You see, it is just such a thing. Although the meaning of the Bird's Nest itself is good, if this design concept wants to be expressed on site...you see, it is just such a structure, people Knock it inside... you think about it and make it messy."

He painted it more clearly than Xu Xin.

And several black spots were specially marked to simulate the "drum" mentioned by Zhang Yimou.

After everyone figured things out, they fell into deep thought again.

If nothing unexpected happens...

This plan may be rejected again.

It's actually quite normal.

After only a few days of work, the creative team's plan... basically won't last more than three days before it will be overturned.

Some of them were very good ideas at the time, but Zhang Yimou might have vetoed them after he went to sleep.

To be honest, this creative mode is quite high-pressure.

Creating this thing should be done in a very relaxed environment, with the least amount of external pressure.

But who made it the Olympic Games...

…

"I'm done. You should go to bed early. I have some things to do here."

Yang Mi didn’t reply.

He must have fallen asleep.

Xu Xin glanced at the time, it was almost 12:30.

But the good thing is that everyone won't have to move at all tomorrow, just wait for Zhang Yimou's notification.

Xu Xin took a shower, leaned on the bed, turned on the desk lamp, and picked up the script of "Wulin Gaiden".

Then...he had a dream.

In the dream, a big wave wearing tulle was waving to him.

…

7:30 in the morning.

Xu Xin, who had finished breakfast for almost an hour, came to the gym.

There is an extra basketball in my hand.

He asked clearly under the gym. It was the warehouse where tables, chairs, benches and linens were stored.

Then we won't be afraid of disturbing the people.

Xu Xin was upset by Chunmeng early in the morning, and Xu Xin felt a little uncomfortable.

If it weren't for the bounce, he really wanted to do a 360-degree turn in the air... and hang himself and the ball on the rim.

no way.

Just hold it in.

Holding back his energy, he racked the ball loudly.

Hey! Fallback jump shot!

Huh~

"Um???"

Let alone the basket, Xu Xin himself was stunned.

Does it feel so good?

He picked up the ball and followed McGrady's example.

DUANG~

"..."

The familiar sound of blacksmithing sounded again.

This is normal.

Pick up the ball again, the three threats bow to Buddha, change hands on the hips, turn around...

Kobe Benby, fadeaway jumper!

The growing core strength is combined with the powerful calf kicking back!

Relaxed posture, soft touch...

"Uh-huh!"

"...????"

Xu Xin's eyes immediately straightened.

Are you going to kick me out of the blacksmiths' union?

He didn't believe in evil and got another free throw.

Still not close.

Then……

Fallback jump shot!

"Uh-huh!"

After scoring three consecutive goals, Xu Xin was really confused.

Feeling the soft feeling on his fingertips, he was really surprised.

Am I possessed by Kobe?

Gradually falling in love with the silky and smooth feel, he started playing tricks in the gym as if no one else was around.

What he has always believed in playing is that as long as his posture is good, it doesn't matter whether he scores or not.

But today the feeling is also strange.

Tracy McGrady was so cool and unrestrained in his stand-up pull-up, but his fade-away jumper was like a hook shot.

He even used Golden Rooster Independence.

The combination was deliberately adjusted, and after imitating it one to one, it was even better than the fadeaway jumper that also incorporated Jordan's shooting hand movements...

Don't tell me, it's really picturesque.

And now just outside the half court...

"Shua~"

When he saw the young man in the court throwing a perfect arc again, maintaining that... look like he was imitating Jordan's hand movements after shooting, Jay Chou suddenly felt his hands were itchy.

coach.

I also want to play basketball.

However, the body sculptor, agent, and two assistants around him did not allow it.

He just stuffed two barbells into his hands.

After coming back to his senses, he nodded and heard the shaper say:

"Group of five, follow my rhythm... The main thing is to feel here, so that the muscles always maintain a slightly sore feeling... Come..."

After pointing at his chest muscles, Jay Chou gathered his thoughts, took two barbells and started to do the movements according to the sculptor's instructions.

He only had one hour.

After an hour, it was time for a fitting.

He had more than a dozen sets of clothes to try on in this drama, including princely clothes and armor.

In order to make his body more powerful and meet the director's requirements, he has been quietly building muscle for several months.

Today's additional training is also for trying on the outfits.

As of last night, he had been without carbohydrates for more than 72 hours.

At last night's dinner, he only ate white rice.

The reason why this is done is also very simple.

Carbon flush.

Shoot the poster.

Anyone who works out knows why many athletes look flat and small before a competition, but suddenly become "big" on the field.

Here's why.

As for the scientific principle, it is nothing more than that after the body's carbohydrates are depleted, the body will feedback to store more carbohydrates, making the muscles fuller at once.

In order to show his power and make the poster more intense, he, who is not a professional bodybuilder, had to do this once and make his muscles as big as possible so that the photos would look good.

The whole process of carbon flushing is actually very painful.

But who asked him to collaborate was the great director Zhang Yimou.

In order to listen to the company and impact the film and television market, he had to do this.

only……

While doing stretching exercises that can make his muscle lines appear more natural and smooth, his head will occasionally glance to the side...

Looking at the sometimes perfect, sometimes stiff arcs, and the young man playing basketball, there is an urge to "get together" in his eyes.

…

One hour, around 8:30.

Xu Xin, who felt completely comfortable today, wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up at Jay Chou's team outside who were also preparing to leave.

He saw each other just now.

But... I'm not familiar with it, so I can't rush forward.

But looking at the opponent's posture, the battle is quite big.

Every fitness session is surrounded by seven or eight people.

Quite scary.

He wiped his sweat with his T-shirt, and when he walked out of the gym with the basketball under his arm, he happened to see the other party entering the elevator.

The straight-line distance between the elevator and the gym is about ten to fifteen meters.

After those people entered the elevator, Jay Chou saw Xu Xin also coming out and seemed to want to say something.

But the person next to him had already pressed the door button.

He opened his mouth, but finally said nothing and looked away.

"Tsk."

Xu Xin smashed his mouth.

This was the first real "meeting" between him and Jay Chou.

Unremarkable.

And the reunion was faster than Xu Xin imagined.

At around 9 o'clock, just when Xu Xin was watching "Wulin Gaiden" in the room, there was a knock on the door.

"Brainless fan" Wei Lanfang is full of excitement:

"Xiao Xu! Let's go! Come on, go watch Jay Chou's fitting!"

"..."

Xu Xin thought he was just joining in the fun at first, so he said:

"Sister Wei, we have to have a meeting today!"

"It's just a meeting! Brother Lian Fa and Sister Gong Li will be here today! Liu Ye will also be here. All the actors have to finish their audition today! Director Zhang said let's have a meeting over there, and we can also give some advice on the costumes. Hurry up. Yes, let’s go, let’s go…”

"..."

Fine.

Xu Xin finally saw it.

Sister Wei really likes Jay Chou, not a fake one.

So he nodded:

"Which floor?"

"Small conference hall on the third floor."

"Okay...then I'll change my clothes."

He took a shower after playing ball and was still wearing pajamas.

"Uh-huh!"

Wei Lanfang nodded and left, while Xu Xin went directly downstairs after changing a set of clothes.

Arriving on the third floor, as soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw a sign:

"The crew of "The City of Golden Armor" is doing a fitting fitting."

Behind the sign is a corridor.

Standing guarding the door were four security personnel and Zhang Yimou's assistant named Lin.

This is not the Olympic Building or Qinglan Building. Xu Xin has to carry his work permit every day.

Just when he was about to talk to security, he saw Assistant Lin saying hello to Xu Xin:

"Teacher Xu."

"..."

Hearing this title, Xu Xin quickly waved his hand:

"No, no, no, no, I don't deserve this title."

"Haha, you're welcome... Come in, Director Zhang and the others are here, just walk to the room at the end."

"OK, thanks."

With Assistant Lin, the security personnel will naturally not stop him.

Xu Xin didn't think much about it and walked directly inside.

As he walked, he planned to show off to Yang Mi who was already on stage:

"Hey, I'm going to see Jay Chou."

Just after I finished sending it, I also reached the end of the corridor.

But you don't enter the house directly, there is a small "L" bend here.

At the end of the L bend is the room that smells like smoke.

There were still a few people standing at the door.

Xu Xin vaguely felt that these people looked familiar. Before he could react, these buddies walked towards Xu Xin.

He didn't think much about it at first.

But when a buddy put his hand on his shoulder, he realized something was wrong.

"?"

Pushing the hand away directly, Xu Xin asked in confusion:

"what?"

"Sir, irrelevant personnel please leave."

Nothing to do...?

The accent is clearly not that of a mainlander...

To be honest, Xu Xin was really stunned.

My mind took a moment to react.

Oh, are you talking about myself?

He rolled his eyes angrily:

"I'm sorry, I'm a relevant person. How could I get in if I'm not a relevant person?"

After saying that, he was about to go inside.

Then the man's hand touched Xu Xin's shoulder again.

"Snapped."

A slap in the face.

Xu Xin frowned.

Putting aside his previous temper, he might have become annoyed.

But now after he patted the other party's arm away, he still said:

"I am a member of the Olympic opening and closing ceremony team, do you understand?"

Who knew that after these people heard this, they suddenly surrounded Xu Xin.

"Sir, please leave. This is the most fitting site for golden armor in the city. Unrelated personnel are not allowed to enter."

Xu Xin raised his eyebrows.

Just when he was about to say something, a fat girl with glasses walked out:

"How many shrimps did you catch? (What's going on)"

She frowned and asked Xu Xin, who was surrounded by several people.

Upon hearing this movement, several people turned around and said a few words to her.

But Xu Xin didn't understand.

Then the girl took a step forward and said in very blunt Mandarin:

"Xiansen, our department is "Full City with Golden Armor"..."

"I'm saying for once, get out of the way, I'm on the Olympic opening and closing ceremony team."

Xu Xin's patience ran out.

When he became angry, he directly pushed the person blocking him and started to walk into the house.

"Hey, you can't leave..."

When several people saw him pushing someone, they tried to stop him. At this time, Wei Lanfang came out from behind the girl wearing glasses:

"Xiao Xu?...What are you doing?"

As soon as she appeared, several people immediately stopped moving. When the fat girl with glasses turned around and saw that it was Wei Lanfang, she quickly said:

"Wei Laosi, we have never met this gentleman before..."

Before she finished speaking, Xu Xin had already passed her and walked to the door.

He turned to look at her, then at those people, and said:

"Sister Wei, it's okay, let's go."

"Uh...Sir..."

The girl wanted to say something else, but Xu Xin ignored her and walked directly inside.

When I entered the room, I saw that in addition to the team members, there were also some members of the "Golden Armor" crew, including action director/assistant director Cheng Xiaodong. A group of people were chatting around the large conference table.

There was not much movement at the door just now, so the people inside were not aware of these things.

Only Wei Lanfang and the fat girl who were at the door heard it.

Xu Xin didn't say anything, and followed Wei Lanfang, who seemed to have figured out what was going on, to the conference table. After sitting down next to each other, he heard Wei Lanfang ask:

"There was no conflict, right?"

Her voice was quite low.

Xu Xin shook his head:

"No, the fire suppressed it, so it won't happen."

At the end, he asked:

"These people don't sound like they are from the mainland. Are they from Fa Ge's side or Jay Chou's side?"

"Jay Chou's side."

"...The signature is probably missing."

"It's okay, they don't dare."

Wei Lanfang shook his head:

"My subordinates are my subordinates. They won't be affected. Don't worry."

Then he said very generously:
