Chapter 320 318. Erwuzi
(There was a BUG in the last chapter, the current timeline should be July, and I wrote it in August, sorry. It has been revised~)
After returning to Yanjing, the couple were faced with trivial matters at work.
It's not a big deal, but it all needs to be done by yourself.
No, the couple just accepted Sina’s invitation and became a new product launched by Sina... According to my brother, it’s a bit like copying the first batch of artists invited by the foreign FACEBOOK community website——“Weibo”.
In this regard, the price given by Sina is -500,000.
Yang Mi felt fresh, so she agreed.
Although most of her fans are concentrated in Baidu Tieba.
But the communication method of this website called Weibo seems to be more convenient.
500,000 is just to settle in and open an account.
is not an endorsement.
Considering the influence of the Sina portal, neither of them refused.
and…
Unexpectedly...Xu Xin seems to have a very natural intuition for this Weibo. It's inexplicable, and he gets familiar with it very quickly.
While Yang Mi was still researching the difference between this thing and post bars and blogs, Xu Xin had found her account skillfully, and clicked to follow.
Director Xu Xin followed you
In short, it is quite fresh.
However, this website is still an internal test website, and it is not online yet. After the two registered their accounts and paid attention to each other, they threw it aside and ignored it.
Just wait for the notification.
When to go online, when to send a congratulatory message, and meet at least 30 Weibo topics, this is the whole content of the contract.
The 500,000 seems to be quite easy to earn.
…
July 16, 2009.
"Guo Degang's 20th Anniversary Crosstalk Session".
Due to physical reasons, Yang Mi did not participate.
But asked Xu Xin to send a pair of flower baskets to congratulate Mr. Guo on the successful performance.
This is the only time Xu Xin has been exposed in public recently.
The reporters jumped at him like a shark smelling blood, but unfortunately he just ran away early when he returned to the field.
And the main reason for his coming is that Shaobing wants to perform the apprenticeship ceremony in the cross talk door on this performance.
As an elder brother, always come to send a blessing.
Finally, he sent a message to Yu Chen congratulating him on the success of the performance, and Brother Qian Er didn't reply until almost 2 o'clock in the morning.
I have to admit that the performance of Deyun Club is really very conscientious.
I really want to die on stage.
Not to mention anything else, just watching Guo Degang singing, reciting and beating there, he felt his throat was dry and he was so tired that he was flustered.
Ordinary people really can’t come to this.
but…
Recently, it doesn’t matter whether it’s listening to Xiaobing and chatting with Xiaobing, or talking on the phone with Brother Qian’er occasionally.
The atmosphere inside the Deyun Club seems to be very bad.
Guo Degang and his two apprentices seemed to be getting more and more at odds with each other.
Every time I think of this, Xu Xin feels a little emotional.
Obviously... When I first met my sister, I was just getting acquainted with Xiaobing at that time. When we ate together, we talked about how they made it step by step from scratch, how united everyone was, how harmonious the atmosphere was, Those who talk about cross talk outside are so hateful...
But how many years have passed?
Take a look.
This is the beginning of the scene where we can share joys and sorrows but not wealth.
It is unavoidable to sigh.
Last year, Guo Degang was also on the Forbes Celebrity Earnings List.
Fifteen million, ranked 13th.
Although the list looks like a joke to everyone...
Yang Mi also joined, ranking 59th.
Annual income of 6.1 million.
One place higher than Chen Kaige's 6 million...
Ranked thirteenth with more than 10 million yuan? It's so fake it can't be faked anymore.
But indeed, Guo Degang’s business has already started.
But I didn't expect it to turn into what it is now.
When going back in the car, he looked at the lights of Wanjia in Yanjing, and always felt that the city was developing faster and faster, so fast that he felt a little strange.
On that chilly day in the early spring of 2006...
Whether it’s the wonton stand in front of Dashilan Deyun Club, or the door frame braised soup that he and his sister went to eat two days ago...
Both the taste and the heart seem to be gone forever.
…
"I'm leaving~"
Carrying his suitcase, Xu Xin said to Yang Mi who was walking slowly on the treadmill.
The elder sister who saw sweat on her forehead nodded:
"Well, have a good trip... Have you packed the food you brought for Shishi?"
"Just pretend."
Xu Xin patted his schoolbag.
"Take care of yourself, I'll be back after my meeting in Shanghai."
"Know it."
Yang Mi waved her hand.
"Let's go, remember to tell her clearly."
She said this out of the blue.
"Um."
After Xu Xin responded, he walked out of the house with Zhang Jiao and got into Cheng Hu's car.
He is going to Hengdian.
The first purpose is to visit Zhao Liying. Her contract will end in more than ten days, and the house over there will be returned. Zhang Jiao still has some things to pack up there, and when the time comes, pack them up and take them away, and throw them away as soon as they need to.
The second purpose is to visit Liu Zhishi. Go visit a class.
Of course, these two goals were forcibly placed on him by Yang Mi.
He didn't have to make a trip.
He was going to Shanghai on the 20th. As a core member of the Olympic director team, he went to the director team of the Shanghai World Expo with director Zhang Wu to hold a seminar on performance planning.
Magic City is not far from Hengdian, so simply... my sister who was too lazy to move sent him out.
Anyway, watching you at home makes a fuss.
Hurry up and get out.
Xu Xin, who was disliked for nothing, had no choice but to be driven out of the house in desperation, and treated her like a cow.
All the way without a word, he arrived in Hengdian at around 12 noon.
The person who came to pick her up was Li Minnian, Liu Zhishi's second manager.
Seeing Xu Xin, Li Minnian hurriedly stepped forward:
"Director Xu, welcome, you have worked hard all the way."
"Li Jingji, hello."
Xu Xin shook hands with him and said with a smile:
"Where is Shishi?"
"I'm filming in the park. I'm very happy to know that Director Xu is here."
Hearing this, Xu Xin responded, and turned to look at Zhang Jiao:
"then you go."
"Okay, Brother Xu, then I'll find you after I settle down."
"Hmm. Has the person arrived yet?"
"It's here, I'll contact you right away."
"good."
Xu Xin finally gave her his suitcase in peace.
After all, it is quite heavy.
He is going to visit class Liu Zhishi directly now, because the fried sauce that Yang Mi boiled, along with the dishes and noodles made by the way, are all vacuum-packed, but if the hand-rolled noodles are not eaten in time, they will become sour.
My dear mother.
The matchmakers are crazy enough.
When others visit the class, at most they will send water to Rhett.
It’s fine if it’s cold.
She was lucky, she knew that Liu Zhishi wanted to eat noodles with fried sauce, so she got up early in the morning to clean it up.
Obviously yesterday I wanted to eat tomato stewed noodles, but I was struggling...
The difference in treatment is too big.
So we have to hurry over there.
Liu Zhishi is still waiting for dinner.
And he will stay in Hengdian for one night, and he will leave tomorrow.
So we split up with Zhang Jiao.
Xu Xin got into Li Minnian's car, and Zhang Jiao also dialed a phone number.
After communicating a few words, they waited by the side of the road.
Soon saw a BMW X5 driving over.
After stopped in front of her, the driver quickly jumped out of the car.
The driver is about 40 years old, and looks like a very sleek and fat businessman.
After getting off the car with a smile, he greeted attentively:
"Zhang Zhu, long time no see, you are getting more and more beautiful."
"Hello, Mr. Liu... No, why did you come here in person? Wouldn't it be enough to ask the driver to drop off the car?"
Zhang Jiao was a little surprised.
And this middle-aged man named Mr. Liu quickly waved his hand:
"Hahaha, I know that Zhang Zhu and Director Xu will use cars, so I definitely have to come here in person. What's more, the commercial vehicles in the company are a bit old after all, and I plan to replace them all. I will use those cars to pick up Director Xu and Director Xu. Zhang Zhu is a bit cheap. We are old friends, so let’s use my car this time, Zhang Zhu, do you think it’s okay?"
"Uh... how embarrassing, isn't this Mr. Liu's own car?"
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. At least my car is comfortable for you to drive~ Come, come, give me your luggage, and I'll put it in the back for you."
The middle-aged man opened the trunk politely, and after helping Zhang Jiao put both luggage in the car, he also graciously opened the rear door for her:
"Zhang Zhu, the space in the rear of this car is not as good as that in the front, you should take the co-pilot."
"…Thanks."
Zhang Jiao thanked her politely. After getting in the car, the middle-aged man closed the door politely, and then walked to the driver's seat.
After getting in the car, I heard Zhang Jiao say:
"Mr. Liu, if I use the car, I still have to ask the company for reimbursement. How do I pay for your procedure?"
"Haha, don't worry Zhang Zhu, we will do whatever you say."
The subtext is "how much you say, I will give you a ticket".
And every entry and exit here may be hundreds of pocket money.
But Zhang Jiao is no longer the little assistant who didn't understand anything, she smiled and shook her head:
"Look at what you said, it's not necessary. Just come at the cost of a normal commercial vehicle. Come in two days, and we'll leave at noon tomorrow."
"Hey, good."
The middle-aged man quickly responded, then suddenly took out a red envelope from the center console, and handed it to Zhang Jiao with both hands:
"Zhang Zhu, this is for you."
"What is this for?"
"It's your birthday. I don't know what you like, so I'll just be a little tacky. Let's cooperate more in the future~ Don't be disgusted, it's all my heart~"
Hearing this, Zhang Jiao thought for a while and took the red envelope.
As soon as she got the red envelope, Zhang Jiao knew...at least around 5000 by the feel of it.
He put it in his bag casually.
Sure enough, Mr. Liu's smile became more natural.
"Thank you, Mr. Liu."
"Haha~ My friend, Zhang Zhu's words are too outlandish."
After finishing speaking, he changed the subject:
"Zhang Zhu, you and Director Xu are here... are you going to start a new play?"
"That's right, this time I'm mainly here to visit a class. Sister Mi's body is not feeling well, and she may not be too busy this year."
"Well…"
Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
But it is only fleeting.
Although he didn't get the best result, he still laughed:
"It turned out to be like this... That's okay, Zhang Zhu, I also replaced all the old Buick GL8s this year. All of them are the latest 10 models. In addition, I also bought a batch of Sennas. They are all new cars, including the ones that pull equipment. They have been changed one after another. If you use a car here, please tell me, whether it is comfort or price, you can rest assured..."
"That's for sure. Whose car should I use? Director Xu and the others also like to sit in a comfortable car."
Zhang Jiao's words made Mr. Liu's smile even brighter.
"Haha, then please Zhang Zhu to take care of you. Don't worry, I will give you five points for a car for those who come from your side~"
"okay."
Zhang Jiao nodded, agreeing happily.
The competition for the production vehicles in Hengdian is relatively high.
Not to mention anything else, it is similar to the old GL8 business, and the price per day is about 150 to 180. Counting the driver, it is about 300 to 350 a day.
This is the monthly subscription price.
Calculated according to the day, it is more expensive. It's over four hundred.
And a crew... like the crew of "The Wind".
During the few days of filming in Hengdian, the average number of cars including artists and staff, including equipment cars, was about fifteen or six.
The large and small models are added together, and the average daily cost of a car is about 400 yuan.
One day is six or seven thousand dollars.
5 points is 300 yuan.
It doesn’t seem like much, but three hundred a day, what if the crew spends it here for a month? It is also an income of 10,000 yuan a month.
This is just the cost of renting a car.
Lunch meals, hotels, including Fuhuadao...
Practitioners in this industry chain will starve to death if they really count on the dead wages in the crew.
But with the addition of extra cash...basically anyone who is eligible for a share of the pie can get some...not to mention a mouth full of oil, but the wallet must be bigger.
Definitely.
As Director Xu's assistant, she is naturally qualified to eat this job.
So... All the group leaders in Hengdian used to dare not use it because the group performers who didn't understand the rules, now they have changed suddenly, but they have become the object of everyone's curry favor.
Why?
It can be regarded as impermanence.
Chatting all the way, X5 arrived at Dongci Hotel in Hengdian.
In 2008, this place was still being renovated. After a whole year of renovation, the hotel, which had some old facilities, has transformed into an existence comparable to or even surpassing the China World Trade Center.
The reason why I came here is because this is the hotel where the crew of "The Legend of the White Snake" was filming in Hengdian.
"Zhang Zhu, I'll go back then, we're in touch for something. Please take your time~"
"Well, thank you Mr. Liu."
After taking the X5 car keys, Zhang Jiao waved to him, then pushed the luggage and looked at the lobby manager standing at the door.
"Zhang Zhu, hello, welcome to our Dongci Hotel."
Hearing what the lobby manager said, Zhang Jiao smiled and nodded:
"Hello."
"...Director Xu... hasn't arrived yet?"
"No, Director Xu has gone to the film and television city. I will check in first, check the room, and we will come back at night."
"Okay, please."
The doorman hurriedly pushed the luggage cart over to pick up the luggage.
Zhang Jiao was personally led by the lobby manager, and walked to the elevator just like a VIP.
On the way, Zhang Jiao also saw a few familiar faces.
It’s the kind you’ve seen on TV.
She looks at these people, and these people are also looking at her.
I guess I'm estimating where I came from...
She felt a little emotional.
My self-defeating prestige can be considered to the extreme.
…
"Xu Xin! Hello, hello!!"
Liu Zhishi, who was delighted to meet an old acquaintance in a foreign country, felt happy after seeing Xu Xin get off the car.
"Haha~"
Looking at her ancient costume in white, Xu Xin greeted her with a smile.
Nodding slightly at the same time:
"Well, it's pretty."
"Really?...hehe~"
Liu Zhishi laughed so hard that she couldn't see her eyes, and then said:
"My water is ready, hurry up, take it out."
"Um."
Hearing this, Xu Xin took off his backpack and took out a canned bottle wrapped in bubble wrap.
"This is the sauce. This is the dish she cut in Yanjing. Do you have a bowl?"
"Just pour the water into the pot for cooking noodles. Let's go, this way."
Liu Zhishi led him to a small room with power lines next to him.
After entering the door, Liu Zhishi was taken aback suddenly.
In the hut where the water was originally boiled, the male protagonist of "The Legend of the White Snake", Qiu Xinzhi who played Bao Ren, the heroine Fu Miao, and Zheng Min who played the dragon girl were all there.
The eyes of the three people fell on themselves and Xu Xin behind.
"Well…"
She rolled her eyes, she seemed to understand something, and said:
"Is everyone there? I thought you all went to rest...Xu Xin, let me introduce you."
When she turned her head, she blinked at Xu Xin before saying:
"This is Qiu Xinzhi..."
Following her introduction, Qiu Xinzhi hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hands, and bent slightly:
"Hi, Director Xu."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Xu Xin knew he was from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The accent is obvious.
"Hello."
Xu Xin nodded politely.
"Sister Fu Miao."
"Hello Director Xu, it's an honor to meet you~"
"Hello."
"Zheng Min..."
Following Liu Zhishi's introduction, all three of them shook hands with Xu Xin.
And the attitude is surprisingly respectful.
But this is also impossible.
These people can only hang out in the TV drama circle at present.
Although there is no difference between movies and TV series at first glance, there is actually a big difference between them.
Some actors, maybe the audience can often see him in the TV drama business. But in the movies, almost all of them disappeared.
There is a chain of contempt in any industry.
The same goes for the entertainment industry.
The status of movie actors is greater than that of TV drama actors, which is a recognized fact in the circle.
In detail, this topic is too big to talk about.
To put it simply, first, the lens of a movie is different from the lens of a TV series. Although the photography technology and shooting media of movies and TV dramas are constantly changing, no matter how the two change, movie lenses are always stricter and clearer than TV drama lenses, and have higher requirements for actors' appearance and acting skills. Therefore, when many TV drama actors act in movies, they will be unaccustomed to the environment and use too much force. It seems so easy to get people out of play.
Furthermore, there is the difference between the so-called "movie face" and "television face".
Some people are so beautiful in TV dramas, but they become passers-by in movies.
Some people like to say "XX's face is full of high-end sense", which actually extends from here.
Then there is the aspect of audience recognition. Movies are active consumption, while TV dramas are passive consumption.
There is a difference in status between the person who became popular when the audience had no choice, and the person who became popular when the audience had the initiative...
Of course, if you really want to talk about it, you may not be able to finish this topic for three days and three nights.
But at the end of the day.
For the actors in front of them, maybe they are the protagonists in the TV series. But in the film industry, it might not even be considered a fart.
Today, a director whose two works both topped the box office of domestic movies came to visit the class...
Say something ugly.
Say hello to you, it's all for your face.
How could it be disrespectful?
And Xu Xin also knew the purpose of their presence here.
I didn't bother to think about how the news got out.
After saying hello, a sentence came:
"Have you all eaten?"
Then without waiting for the three to answer, he smiled and said:
"If you eat all of it, then go back and rest. It's so hot and you have to work in the afternoon."
After finishing speaking, he took the initiative to take out the bag of hand-rolled noodles, squatted in front of the small electric pot that was already bubbling, and started cooking noodles for Liu Zhishi himself.
And this scene fell in the eyes of the three...
Obviously... Never mind what the real relationship between Liu Zhishi and Director Xu is.
Focusing on this point, Liu Zhishi's status in the crew will have to be raised to a higher level in the future.
Moreover, they also politely issued an order to expel the guests.
Be wise, just go.
Expressing the meaning of seeing off the guests very clearly, Xu Xin tore open the vacuum bag, put the noodles into the pot, and said:
"Shishi, bring me a pair of chopsticks."
"Um!"
Liu Zhishi responded, picked up the disposable chopsticks on the table and handed them over.
And the three looked at each other...
"Shishi, then hurry up and eat, let's go~"
"Okay, Miss Fu."
"Director Xu, you are busy, we are leaving, goodbye."
"Well, then I won't give away three, please cheer this afternoon."
Xu Xin turned around and waved his hands politely, then squatted in front of the pot and continued cooking the noodles.
Soon, the three went out, and only Li Minnian, Liu Zhishi and Xu Xin were left in the room.
Even Liu Zhishi's assistant went out.
At this time, Li Minnian said:
"Director Xu, shall I come?"
"Need not."
Xu Xin waved his hand:
"I can cook this noodle, but you may not be able to cook it well. If I ruin this pot of noodles, I might be destroyed when I go back."
After he made a joke, he turned to look at Liu Zhishi:
"How is the crew doing?"
"good."
"Is it almost over?"
"I guess it will take at least a month. What are you doing in Hengdian this time?"
"What do you say..."
Xu Xin rolled his eyes:
"You complained to her, saying that you want to eat fried noodles, so I have to be a courier?"
"Hey hey~"
Hearing this, Liu Zhishi smiled very happily:
"Mimi is the best~"
But Li Minnian's eyes are full of weirdness...
After Xu Xin turned his head and glanced at him, he continued:
"On the one hand, I came to see you for her, and on the other hand, Baozi's contract is coming to an end, so I came here to give her the contract. Aren't Jiaojiao and her good friends? There are still things here, let's tidy up together. I'm going to Shanghai, and I have something to do over there, so I'll come here by the way."
"...I thought it was just to give me a pot of Jajiangmian~"
"..."
The corner of Li Minnian's mouth twitched...
Suddenly felt that the relationship between Liu Zhishi and the couple should be re-examined.
like…
Intimate is a bit unusual.
Sure enough, before Liu Zhishi finished speaking, Xu Xin said:
"The main reason is to give you this. Let me tell you, don't do this next time. Do you know how much trouble I have had to give you this bowl of fried noodles? After you finished talking yesterday, I will I was instigated by her to buy a vacuum machine. It took me half a trip to Yanjing City to find this thing..."
"Hey, I'll treat you two to dinner later!"
"Ha~"
Chatting while cooking noodles.
Not long after the noodles were ready, the water was poured out, and even the vegetables with beef fried sauce were poured in.
Liu Zhishi held a small electric cooker for the first time, and the happiness on his face began to flow out...
"It's so delicious..."
…
After a meal, it's more than one o'clock.
Liu Zhishi definitely couldn't rest today, and Xu Xin also found an excuse for being thirsty.
When Li Minnian heard this, he said to help Xu Xin get ice water.
After he left, Xu Xin and her sat in the shade of the corridor.
Looking at the disappearing figure of Li Minnian, he said:
"Mimi asked me to tell you that she signed Liu Yifei."
"…ah?"
Liu Zhishi was stunned:
"Liu Yifei?"
"Um."
Xu Xin nodded:
"She can't talk to you on the phone, after all... the Tang people's position on you... right."
"Well…"
Looking at Liu Zhishi who still didn't know what to say, Xu Xin shrugged:
"Actually, according to my understanding, it's because she has few friends. The person she feels most intimate with is you. So she dare not tell you on the phone, because you have been hyped as Liu Yifei's cousin since your debut. And now she signed Liu Yifei... She is afraid that you will think too much. This has nothing to do with other people, it is purely from the perspective of a friend, she has to explain it to you. But... I can't let her torment her in her current body, so I will do it. "
"…When did this happen?"
Liu Zhishi didn't mean to be angry, but asked in a low voice.
"Just a few days ago, when I was recording "The Voice" in Xi'an."
"...So, she is coming back?"
"Um."
Xu Xin responded, and then said:
"You can tell the Tang people about this news. After all, their positioning for you is to eat the TV drama market of Liu Yifei's character type. You can tell them not to worry, Liu Yifei may not appear in TV dramas for the time being. She also needs to transform So it won't affect their strategies for you. But... As friends, Yang Mi and I don't want you to use the name of Liu Yifei's cousin or little Liu Yifei to hype you up. Of course, It’s just that the two of us don’t think it’s appropriate, the specifics still depend on your own choice.”
He took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, his tone was a bit erratic:
"You are you, at least we both think so. Our relationship is here. It doesn't matter whether it's a dog taking a mouse or meddling in other people's business. As friends, we really don't want or like Tang Ren to take you like this. Come to fry... But it's impossible for us to reach out and intervene in this matter..."
"I can not say."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Zhishi suddenly shook his head:
"I won't tell the company about this."
"Well…"
Looking at the astonished Xu Xin, Liu Zhishi shook his head:
"I don't actually have any bad feelings towards Liu Yifei, it's just that I don't like to wear her aura when I debut, but what does it have to do with her? I understand what Mimi and you mean...we are friends, and I know you two are good for me But I'm not that kind of person either... So, I won't talk about Liu Yifei's affairs. Whether Liu Yifei will come back or not, or why... That's something the company considers. I just play my own role well...even, to put it mildly In other words... I can walk so smoothly now, and I also accept her favor. So..."
Her tone is very firm:
"No matter what happens to Liu Yifei, it will not affect our relationship. Because we are friends~ But for the same reason, just because we are friends, I will not talk about Liu Yifei's affairs. How the company does it is the company's business. I I will work **** my own, and then take off the person above my head!"
"Well…"
Looking at her eyes that once again appeared a gleam of light.
Xu Xin paused, then said with a smile:
"Um."
"... By the way, don't you mean a bit of a kid when I say this?"
"Well…"
Xu Xin shook his head slightly:
"It doesn't count, just take what you need."
