Chapter 385 383. Mother Yang
Holding the vibrating phone, Xu Xin looked at it... and chose to connect.
"Hello? Director Zhang."
"Are you not going to the Golden Horse Awards this time?"
Zhang Yimou asked directly when he came up.
"Well, if Yang Mi is going, I won't go. We both go, and there is no one around the child, so I don't feel at ease."
"Is that so...that's okay."
Hearing his words, Xu Xin asked suspiciously:
"Do you have any plans?"
"Yes, I was going to let the selected children come over for an audition this week. Since you don't have time this week, I'll let them come next week."
"Well, it's fine. Let's arrange for next week. Yang Mi will leave tomorrow and come back on Sunday. I really can't go out these few days."
What the old man said is not that he is not confident in his casting, but that "Jinling" was made in the name of "Hawthorn Tree" after all, and his absence as a director is easy for people to see through.
After Xu Xin finished speaking, Zhang Yimou responded:
"Okay. Then next week."
"Well, did you watch yesterday's audition tape?"
"I saw it. You don't think about it anymore, Zhou Yanyu, do you?"
"Yes, although her natural temperament is not bad, it is a bit far from the Jingqiu in my heart."
"I know, Momo told me... That's it, I like this kid quite a bit. I'll take the crew of "Jinling". After the overall audition over there, I won't mention the others. Qiu and the third child, my suggestion for the role of the third child is to choose Dou Yao. Because he has a relatively strong sense of simplicity. For Jing Qiu..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Yimou was silent for a while.
seems to be undecided.
And Xu Xin also took advantage of this juncture to think about it, and said:
"I want to choose, I want to choose Liu Yifei."
"You have to think about the candidate for the third child. Dou Yao is very suitable for Jing Tian... You can understand the two of them as a pair. As for Liu Yifei, her kind of gentle fairy is a good match for Lin Juxin."
"Yes, I think so too. So if these two pairs are selected, I will definitely come out together. There will be no such situation of choosing Jing Tian and Lin Xingxin. Because the two don't match well."
"It's up to you to decide. If you choose Liu Yifei, then you have to find a way to get rid of her fashionable atmosphere. It's best to spend a few months polishing this role, or you can bring a little Follow her."
"okay."
Xu Xin responded, but his eyes fell on the notebook in front of him again.
After thinking about it, he tentatively said:
"Three Shots..."
"Don't worry about these things, the important thing is to look forward."
"…good."
"that is it."
The phone hangs up.
Yang Mi, who listened to the two chatting from the beginning to the end, didn't care about "The Hawthorn Tree", but said:
"Then "Three Guns" looks like this, do you think Director Zhang feels uncomfortable?"
"..."
Xu Xin didn't say a word.
After staring at the content on the webpage for a while, he said:
"It doesn't matter. How about it, the movie is released... right? If it's you, you'll be leaving tomorrow. Have you prepared everything you need?"
Hearing this, Yang Mi thought that he had started to be "unserious" when he woke up early in the morning, and she pointed to the small refrigerator about the size of a bedside table in the corner with a speechless finger:
"Who do you look down on, there is enough for your daughter and son to drink for a month."
"...?"
Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, then said dumbfounded:
"Who told you this? I mean the acceptance speech or something..."
"Nope. It will be fine if I perform on the spot~ Isn't the award acceptance speech just posted casually? Thank you to the crew, thank you to the director, thank you to the fans, and thank you to the Golden Horse Awards. Isn't that okay? ?”
She looked indifferent.
No desire, no desire.
Anyway, I got a golden rooster, and by the way, I also made a small record of the youngest golden rooster queen.
It is best to get the golden horse, even if you can't get it...that's not a pity.
Xu Xin sounds reasonable.
While his wife is doing things, he is always at ease.
Because the chain has never been dropped.
"Have you watched the video of "The Hawthorn Tree"? What do you think of our discussion just now?"
"The truth is read, the lie is not read."
"...what is this statement?"
"Because it's difficult to choose, subjective factors, 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 think choosing Jing Tian, It will help our family even more…”
"Can you stop being so realistic. I'm making movies, art!"
"Art can't be eaten, baby."
"..."
Looking at Xu Xin who couldn't laugh or cry, she pinched her brother's cheek with a smile:
"So you see, it's hard to tell the truth or lies. So... just pretend that I haven't read it... If you are really embarrassed, why don't you choose poems..."
"...I thank you!"
"Hee hee~"
…
As the saying goes, a mother worries when a child travels a thousand miles, but a mother does not worry when traveling a thousand miles.
This is not true at all.
At least for Xu Xin... that's the case.
My sister seems to really regard him as her son... It's not right, or she treats him as a useless thing.
"Hey, let me tell you, don't be sorry for 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 it possible, it's so unhygienic."
"Also, the baby bottle has to be sterilized after one use, you know? And you have to be careful of the dog hair. Last time my dad brushed the baby bottle with a dog hair, which annoyed me to death!"
"Don't worry, I know."
"Also, this milk can be used at any time and warmed up at any time. Don't try to save trouble, take it out of the refrigerator before going to bed at night... that won't work, when the child is hungry, and when to feed it! Do you know!"
"...Understood, you can rest assured."
"Then Zaizai and Niuniu are not allowed to go to bed! These two guys always want to squeeze into the bed these days!"
"…OK!"
"When you take your child out for a walk, remember to wear thicker clothes. You must wear cotton socks over the small socks, otherwise your feet will be cold..."
"…Um."
"besides…"
"oh."
"Then…"
"..."
"Oh yes…"
"..."
"Remember... you are dumb!"
"Oh!! Why are you so inked!"
Xu Xin looked impatiently at his virtuous wife who said "I'm very worried about you":
"I take care of the children much better than you. How can I show off to you? Hurry up and leave, I won't be able to catch up with the No. 2 bus in a while."
After finishing speaking, he sat down on the sofa, took out a pack of Calbee's classic tomato flavor, and threw it in front of the two ignorant little guys on the climbing mat:
"The whole order of fries?"
"..."
Yang Mi's face immediately turned green.
And Xu Xin seemed to know nothing, seeing that the two children were silent:
"Aren't you coming? Then you two help me open it. Then what... second child, light a cigarette for Dad."
"...you surnamed Xu, go to hell! Hey! Half-step Bengquan!"
"Hey ha ha ha ha... I'm just kidding with you... I'm so stupid, you really hit me!"
There are only moves in the legends of the rivers and lakes, and the one that hasn't been seen for a long time is used on Xu Laopi again.
But anyway, Mom should go or go.
Holding the suitcase and getting into the car.
But the two children didn't feel anything.
During the past two months from birth to the present, Mom and Dad are always by their side, and the two children are not particularly anxious.
Anyway, Zaizai and Niuniu are here.
It doesn't matter if parents are there or not.
Xu Xin picked up the computer and checked the news of "Three Guns" online.
Douban score... there should be no way to control it. It has dropped to 6.8. But the box office is doing pretty well, breaking through 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 position.
Xu Xin, who had already tasted the first taste, was calmer this time.
Isn't that good.
It shows that the film market is getting better and better.
Although the evaluation on the Internet is still very bad...or so bad.
There is no one who does not scold.
The only thing that can be praised in the whole film is the old man's old job.
The things shot 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 other words, I am happier.
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 is sure to make money.
But according to a line in the script of "The Great Master", it is summarized that "people can't only have the road ahead, but forget the body behind".
Xu Xin was particularly touched by this sentence.
The Internet also has memory.
Let’s not care about how much money Zhang Weiping made through this movie... You know, in the early stage, it didn’t matter whether it was Kaixin.com, various banks or media companies. These publicity costs are all huge sums of money.
Even if the Internet has no memory, investors’ money still has memory.
After this incident, even if the audience doesn’t mention it, these investment companies must also understand one thing:
"Zhang Yimou also knows how to make bad movies."
"Golden Armor" can be called exaggerated, but it must not be called bad.
Why?
Because the script of that movie was "Thunderstorm".
Most, when a one-sentence drama encounters a film and television adaptation, it is a bit unacceptable.
What's more, the global box office of "Golden Armor" is not a shame.
"House of Flying Daggers" is bad, but anyone can see that what the old man plays in "Heroes" is "politics" and "historical" views. But "House of Flying Daggers" has returned to the perspective of human nature.
It sucks, but at least in the early days of that commercial film, it was tolerated.
Everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones to build a structure for domestic commercial films. These things are bound to happen.
But "Three Guns" is different.
From "Hero" to now, ten years later, Zhang Yimou should be very mature in commercial films.
Adding the name of the Olympic Games has given almost all investors a kind of blind trust in him.
And Zhang Weiping also used this trust to spread the marketing of the entire "Three Guns" from offline entities to online websites.
All investors are waving money, wanting a piece of the action.
In other words, it doesn’t matter even if this film suffers a little bit, as long as it can get new pictures and director Zhang, then it will be a 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.
And once the concept of "God is also a human being" is given to New Picture Film and Television in business...whether it is Zhang Weiping or other investment companies. Everyone's rationality should return.
The balance of commercial value is again in the hands of New Picture and other investors.
No more leaning on one side.
The most straightforward truth.
Zhang Weiping still wants to find those media companies of the same type that should be competitors in the future. It has become impossible to include them in his movies and get two shares of the money.
It seems that you can only choose one investment in BAT.
Without that layer of undefeated golden body, don’t even think about receiving benefits from the three families.
In the future, the investment company will also take a more cautious attitude towards New Screen, a company with only one director, and will more carefully evaluate investment risks and commercial value.
Therefore, the failure of "Three Guns", from the perspective of insiders, can almost be said to be "a ruin".
It's just that this ruined reputation is not so exaggerated, it just changes the new picture from a **** to a human.
But this is what the old man wanted.
What he wants is to let Zhang Weiping return to the track of me making movies, you doing business operations, and we not interfering with each other.
The old man took into account the friendship of friends, and reminded you that this script is immature and not good enough. But you have to fight hard in order to make money.
As a result, the golden body is broken now, you, Zhang Weiping, should be sober if you treat the old man as a friend.
"Absolutely."
Every time Xu Xin thinks of the old man's intentions, Xu Xin will feel emotional.
Of course.
The film should be bad, or bad.
If you deserve to be scolded, then you have to be scolded.
But no one stipulates that you can't be a coward when you are scolded, right?
Didn't you see that the old man has stopped for the past two days?
…
On the night of December 11th.
Lutheran United Senior Club.
"What's wrong? Too noisy?"
The crowd on the first floor was talking and chatting with each other, and there was also lyrical music playing. Everyone was bright and beautiful, and in the clubhouse full of handsome men and beautiful women, Wang Sicong went to sit on the sofa on the second floor, looking at a flower The peerless and isolated delicate rose, Yang Mi, who exudes the aura of "don't let strangers in" all over her body, asked.
Yang Mi nodded, and picked up the stainless steel thermos next to the champagne glass.
The scented tea she brought is brewed there.
"It's a little bit. I haven't been to this kind of place for a year or two. I came here suddenly. Seeing so many people, I feel a little uncomfortable."
Hearing this, Wang Sicong sat down beside her, crossed his legs and shook, and said:
"You and Lao Xu are absolutely perfect. He also has such virtues. Last time he found a bar here to reserve a place, he was also on the second floor leaning on the railing and kept picking his ears and talking about making a fuss."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Mi pushed his upturned leg down:
"Why are you shaking your legs? Anyway, you are also a son, so be careful, and people must say that you are an upstart?"
"...Tsk tsk, you have caught up with my mother."
"I will remember this, next time I see Aunt Lin, I will ask her what she thinks after hearing this."
"Haha~"
Wang Sicong was not afraid, but his legs stopped shaking after all.
leaned on the sofa and whispered:
"Hey, did you see that?"
Following the direction he pointed, Yang Mi glanced at it.
Silly and naive Ah Jiao is talking and laughing happily with a man who looks to be in his forties.
"What? Have an idea?...Come on, isn't it dirty?"
Hearing Yang Mi's words, Wang Sicong rolled his eyes:
"What are you thinking? Look aside."
Following the position he pointed, Yang Mi continued to tilt her head, only then did she see that Lang Lang was 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 went to say hello just now, she seemed to be called...Gong or something, but I watched the two of them chatting all night. I guess they saw each other..."
"Then you just pay attention. If it's true, call home for a meal and get to know each other."
Yang Mi said, turning her head to look left and right:
"Where are the wheels?"
"Jiang Yuchen is here... The two of them walked together, either to find a place to chat, or... Maybe the old relationship will rekindle. Sigh..."
Speaking of this, Wang Sicong let out a long sigh:
"What do you think you are here... If Old Xu wants to be here, I can still let him be my wingman. If you are here, you say I have to help Old Xu protect you, in case someone who doesn't open his eyes comes over Excuse me, I have to be careful...Really, can you let Lao Xu out next time? Our IGF4 doesn't fit well, and I can't even use my martial arts."
"Pull it down quickly."
Yang Mi sneered:
"What about IGF4... I'm not bragging. Based on what I know about my brother, there may not be one person in your room who he can take a fancy to. I don't understand you guys yet? Give some sunshine and it will shine ~ people say A few soft words will convince you that you won't be able to find Bei."
The voice fell, and the phone rang.
After glancing at the caller, she said:
"Okay, don't you think I'm bothering you, I'll just go."
"Eh? Don't, don't, just kidding, why are you so impatient? We promised Lao Xu to take care of you..."
"take care of me?"
Yang Mi was a little speechless:
"One didn't know if the old relationship with his ex-girlfriend had rekindled and went to the wild, and the other met a large wave of zombies... the face had been knifed just by looking at the lips and nose. The other was wandering around and found that he didn't meet the one-night stand he wanted The object... everyone is a local fox, what are you talking about with me?"
She ruthlessly exposed the truth.
Wang Sicong listened with disgust in his eyes:
"Why are you talking so badly? Can't you say that there is no one I like?"
"Cut~ Anyway, I won't accompany you guys. Sister Bingbing is here, I'll talk to her about a TV series."
Saying that, Sun Ting appeared out of nowhere.
"Sister, are you leaving?"
"Well, 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 it's you or the old wolf, tell him what I said in a while, calm down, do you hear me? There are a lot of scheming people here, especially after the party... It's okay to be hot in the body, but don't be hot in the head. I don’t know how many people are staring at you and people like him. Don’t make trouble for yourself, I won’t talk about it if you have experience, Old Wolf...you have to help him pay attention.”
Wang Sicong naturally knew what she meant.
really.
Lao Lang is... a weak point when it comes to women.
If it really happens, it might not end well after ten months.
It's too easy to be used by some whores in the green and green whores.
So nodded:
"Don't worry, I'll watch for him."
"Well...Of course, if it's really love at first sight, let's not talk so much. When we return to Yanjing, we will come to our house for dinner, and we will basically see what should be seen after a meal of wine. .”
"Okay, Mama Yang, go slowly~!"
"Virtue~"
Yang Mi rolled her eyes.
"Take care of yourself. When Xu Xin comes next time, you are taking him to see Lin Zhiling."
After finishing speaking, she led Sun Ting to the first floor on her own.
Wang Sicong didn't go downstairs either, just leaning on the railing with his hands, bent down to watch Yang Mi leave with a smile after being greeted by a group of people, and then waved to Juzi next to him.
Orange walked over quickly:
"President Wang, what's wrong?"
"Go and buy two boxes of Okamoto, unpack them and bring them here... Oh yes, and buy some powder."
"..."
Tangerine froze for a moment:
"Powder?"
"Yes, it doesn't matter what it is, yeast, or milk powder, milk tea granules, even cumin powder, thirteen incense. As long as it is a small bottle and a small bag that is easy to carry, buy it for me .”
"What are you going to do?"
Tangerine looks really confused.
But Wang Sicong also knows that ordinary people rarely know what to do with this kind of thing.
But the problem is really explained... It's disgusting.
So just shook his head:
"Don't ask, just buy it."
"OK."
Jiangzi nodded and left quickly.
While he was standing on the second floor, his eyes fell on the old wolf who was still chatting with that girl named Gong.
Lighted a cigarette silently, and after exhaling the smoke, he said in an emotional tone:
"Either Xu has cultivated blessings for several lifetimes... With Mama Yang, our hearts are at ease."
…
"Sister Bing Bing."
"Hey, honey."
Wearing a mask and a fisherman hat, Liang Bingning just entered the hotel lobby. After hearing the movement, she looked at the sofa in the waiting area and walked over with a smile.
Yang Mi pointed to Yan Ni next to her:
"Sister Bingbing, this is my shopkeeper~"
Hearing this, without Yang Mi's introduction, Liang Bingning smiled and stretched out her hand:
"Sister Yan Ni, hello."
"Oh, you don't have to be so polite."
Yan Ni shook hands with her and said with a smile:
"It's all a family... That's fine, Mimi, then you guys talk, I'll go up first."
"Hey, okay, shopkeeper. See you tomorrow~"
After waving goodbye to Yan Ni, Liang Bingning also instructed Yang Tianzhen to check in, and then took Yang Mi's hand affectionately:
"Where's Xu Xin? Didn't come?"
"No. What about watching the children at home?"
As she spoke, she observed Liang Bingning's thick dark circles, and asked with concern:
"The filming of "Rizhao Chongqing" is not over yet?"
"It's coming soon, it's estimated that it will be finished in another week...It's in a bad state, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Yang Mi said from the bottom of her heart:
"You have worked too hard this year."
It's not about caring or pity.
But pure emotion.
One year...
7 plays.
She felt her scalp tingling just thinking about it.
I don't know how Liang Bingning persisted.
Hearing this, Liang Bingning shook her head slightly:
"There is no other way."
Saying that, Liang Bingning asked when she saw that Yan Ni had entered the elevator:
"Didn't you say that there is a character looking for me? What play?"
"Suddenly I don't want you to act, Sister Bingbing."
"Ha~"
Liang Bingning couldn't help laughing, and said:
"You can't take pity on me just because I'm Jiaohua~"
"Haha~"
The two were joking while walking towards the elevator.
"Tianzhen, just come to me when you're done. Mimi, which floor is it?"
"908."
After telling Yang Tianzhen the room number, the two walked into the elevator together.
After entering the elevator, Liang Bingning whispered:
"Unexpectedly, I met two generations of girls in the same frame today."
"Haha~"
This stalker Yang Mi sounds really interesting.
Laughing and shaking his head:
"The shopkeeper came because of Guan Hu's "Bullfighting"."
"Oh~~ What happened to the character you mentioned?"
Anyway, there are no outsiders at the moment, so Yang Mi doesn't hide anything:
"Sister Bingbing, do you know Director Zheng Xiaolong?"
"Director Zheng? I know, why?"
Zheng Xiaolong is no ordinary director, he has a pivotal position in the TV drama industry.
but…
"The Beijing circle's attitude towards you has eased?"
"It has nothing to do with the Beijing circle. He fell in love with the copyright of a book in my hand and wanted to adapt it into a TV series. Then there was a character in it. When Director Zheng saw the description of the character, he thought of you, Sister Bing Bing. Before When communicating with me on the phone, we talked about this role... and Director Zheng knows our relationship, so he wants me to ask Sister Bingbing."
"Well…"
Liang Bingning heard her explanation and asked:
"What's the name of this book?"
""The Harem: The Legend of Zhen Huan", an online novel. Sister Bingbing, have you read it?"
"No, I don't really read online novels... Is it Gongdouxi?"
"Yes, similar to Jinzhi Desire... Director Zheng likes it very much, and I especially like it."
"Then my role is..."
"A woman named Concubine Hua is Nian Gengyao's younger sister."
Upon hearing this, Liang Bingning instinctively responded to the dynasty.
But immediately frowned:
"Concubine Hua? I know this person. She seems to be Yongzheng's favorite concubine, right?... In my impression, the posthumous title she gave seems to be a very grand word..."
"Yes, Dunsu. But..."
When Yang Mi said this, after a pause, she said:
"But in this novel, Concubine Hua is a villain..."
"Not the main character?"
"One of the villains..."
"Well…"
Liang Bingning, who was quite interested at first, suddenly lost a lot of enthusiasm after hearing the word "one".
But she didn't say it directly, but asked:
"This play... you want to act?"
"I don't act...I don't have time to act in TV dramas."
She doesn't play...
Hearing this, Liang Bingning's interest in the heart dropped by three points.
But she still nodded:
"Did you bring the script? Let me read the script first..."
"The script hasn't been finished yet. When I was chatting with Director Zheng a few days ago, I came up with a general situation. After Director Zheng wanted to find you, Sister Bingbing, to play the role of Concubine Hua, I brought the complete novel of this play. Sister Bingbing take it back and have a look~ It’s really pretty.”
"no problem."
Don't worry about what's on her mind, Liang Bingning still smiled and agreed directly.
But the interest in my heart is gone.
TV dramas are nothing more than supporting roles...
Her hard work this year will definitely usher in a blowout period next year.
Otherwise hard work is tantamount to wasting.
During the blowout period, the team will begin to rapidly expand its business value.
At this time, play a supporting role...
That is, the relationship is here.
Put it in someone else's place... Let alone Zheng Xiaolong, no matter which director comes to find her, it is impossible for her to play a supporting role.
But this can't be said clearly.
Anyway, just read the outline of the novel and the script.
Face must be given.
Just pass the time.
