I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 167: 165. Entertainment circle

Chapter 167 165. Entertainment Circle

Xiangjiang, Convention and Exhibition Center.

The stars are bright and the stars are gathered.

"Brother, I'm a little nervous...what should I do?"

Hearing this, Liu Ye, who was sitting in the car, was delighted:

"Stop doing this, I always say you are nervous, and I never see you being embarrassed."

"..."

Yang Mi was a little speechless:

"I'm really nervous... especially behind Zhang Ziyi, can I not be nervous?"

Zhang Ziyi was nominated this time for the heroine of "The Banquet".

The media has been hyping up the dispute between the two generations of "seeking girls" these days.

Although strictly speaking, today is the "three generations" Mou girls.

And the organizers don't know whether it is full of bad humor or "maliciousness", the crews of "Night Banquet" and "Golden Armor" are next to each other.

The Golden Armor crew came today with four people.

Liu Ye, Yang Mi, Gong Li, and Zhou Renfa as the "host".

Jay Chou went back and forth to play "The Unspeakable Secret" and couldn't come.

As for "Night Banquet", Zhou Xun didn't come, Ge You came, and Wu Yanzu and Zhang Ziyi were in a car.

But because Ge You appeared alone, the organizer cleverly advanced Ge You's position, allowing Wu Yanzu and Zhang Ziyi to be the finale.

As for "Golden Armor", the girl and Liu Ye appeared together, then Gong Li appeared alone, and finally Zhou Renfa.

And Zhou Renfa was also the last guest, so it can be said that he gave enough face.

But the problem is... For the "Mou Girls", the media seems to be doing their best to encourage three generations of Mou Girls to be in the same frame, and put them together directly.

Hearing this, Liu Ye, after all, has seen a lot of big winds and waves, and knows the **** nature of this group of Xiangjiang media, so he shook his head:

"It's okay, don't worry, brother will protect you this time."

"Then protect me..."

"Ha~ Don't worry~"

Liu Ye patted his chest to assure.

Yang Mi continued to look out the window, and among the crowd taking pictures on both sides of the red carpet, she could vaguely see a figure in a dress walking by step by step.

There are quite a few celebrities here today.

Whether it’s Hong Kong or the mainland, not to mention Zhou Renfa, Liang Chaowei, Andy Lau, South Korea’s RAIN, which has been booming in the past two years, and Zhao Wei, Liang Bingning from the mainland, etc. have also come.

Recalling what she saw and heard just now, Yang Mi felt... maybe if it wasn't for Director Zhang, if it wasn't for "Golden Armor", she wouldn't be "worthy" to stand here, right?

Not to mention walking the red carpet in this position.

Everything is due to "seeking a girl".

Thinking of this, she felt a little lost for no reason.

When... can you go anywhere by yourself, it is a well-deserved finale, you don't need to compare yourself with others, and you don't need to be a green leaf for anyone, stand in that position?

Thinking about it, her eyes became a little empty.

And at this moment, Liu Ye pushed her:

"Sister, let's go, remember to hold down the skirt, don't get naked."

This brother's reminder brought Yang Mi back to her senses quickly.

Then, Liu Ye opened the car door from the other end and walked down.

After going down, he buttoned up the dress, and in the flickering spotlights, he walked to the car door facing the red carpet, pressed the clothes on his stomach, and opened the car door with a slight bow.

"Kacha Kacha Kacha..."

Immediately, a flash that was many times stronger than before rang.

Yang Mi gently pressed down the skirt at the base of her thighs, revealing her amazingly slender legs. After her high heels stepped on the ground, she put her hand on Liu Ye's.

Using the strength of the other party to get out of the car, he stood in front of the car with Liu Ye and made a concave shape.

Liu Ye put his hand on Yang Mi's waist very politely, and after the dent was almost gone, he gently pushed her from the back, meaning: You can go forward.

Yang Mi understood, pinching the corner of her skirt, and followed Liu Ye step by step towards the signature area.

It's just... the cheers and screams are different from when Zhang Ziyi passed by.

She walked this way, except for the flashing lights, there were no fans screaming or cheering.

seems a bit "deserted".

After walking to the signing area, it is actually different from what the girl thought would be pestered to ask a few things about finding a girl.

The host of the red carpet is a very young girl, and I don't know her name, Yang Mi.

In the face of the media, her performance is also very clear.

Ask Liu Ye three questions and Yang Mi one question.

The first question: what does it feel like to be here.

The second question: What kind of award-winning wishes do you have for "Golden Armor".

These two questions are very formulaic questions, and Liu Ye's answer is not bright.

After asking the two questions, he originally planned to put down the microphone. Suddenly, the host asked another question:

“Do you regret not being nominated today?”

Liu Ye was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously glanced at the smiling girl waiting silently, and said quickly:

"No, I am also a supporting role, um."

After ending with an "um", he put down the microphone.

According to the theory, no matter what artist, there should be two problems for one person, but in Yang Mi, there is only one problem left.

And the host really started to ask Yang Mi:

"I want to ask Yang Mi, today is a rare event where three generations of girls are on the same stage. Can you predict who will win the award between the two seniors?"

"..."

The corner of Liu Ye's mouth twitched...

Damn it...

Where did this host come from?

Are you crazy?

Just about to pick up the microphone, but Yang Mi was a step ahead, still polite and smiling, and said:

"It's impossible to predict, this question is too difficult to answer. Both of them are actors I like very much, thank you."

After answering, there is no need for the host to say anything, Liu Ye naturally stepped aside and led Yang Mi to walk down the stage.

At this moment, screams sounded from outside.

It should be Gong Li who came out.

"Who the **** is this host? What a grandson..."

Hearing what Liu Ye said, Yang Mi shrugged:

"It doesn't matter, brother, let's go in."

"damn it…"

Liu Ye cursed rather annoyedly, and walked in with Yang Mi.

After finding the seat belonging to the "Golden Armor" crew, he was temporarily relieved:

"It's okay, it seems that the organizer has a bottom line, I thought we would be next to "The Banquet"."

"Um…"

Seeing Yang Mi was really not very happy, Liu Ye said again:

"It's okay, don't take it to heart. Xiangjiang's virtue is this, and they believe in entertainment to death, you know. They like to stir up heat and gossip. Didn't you see that the media blocked Liang Chaowei just now, because of Liu Jialing and that or something? The gossip about the rich man Guo Taiming...they just pursue heat, excitement, and eyeballs, this time it’s a good experience, and it’s okay if they don’t come next time. Anyway, they’re not what they used to be, right?”

"Oh man, I'm fine."

Hearing this, Yang Mi smiled and shook her head:

"I know how much I have, so it's fine."

"Um."

Seeing what she said, Liu Ye was relieved.

Soon Gong Li, who was alone, came over and sat next to Yang Mi.

"Did I ask you guys about Zhang Ziyi?"

"I asked, who would like you or Zhang Ziyi to win the award. I said I liked them both, so I slipped away."

Hearing Yang Mi's words, Gong Li nodded:

"That's fine. We are fine, but these media like to hold on to this. You don't have to worry about what they say, just ignore it."

"OK."

Then, when Zhou Renfa, the host, came, the red carpet ended and the awards ceremony began.

Indeed, the first Asian Film Awards Ceremony is full of stars, and all the stars and big names are here. The combined box office is in the tens of billions.

But cruelly, although there are many nominations for each award, the winner of each award is unique.

The entire show of "Golden Armor" failed.

The same is true for "Night Banquet".

Best Actress was won by Miki Nakatani, the heroine of Pocahontas.

Best Actor went to Song Kanghao of "Han River Monster".

The best film is also "Han River Monster", and the best director is given to Jia Zhangke.

Yang Mi's purpose is actually quite simple, just to come and walk the red carpet, catch the heat, and it's over.

Unexpectedly, after the awards ceremony, when she followed the big guys out one after another, the organizers suddenly stopped her and Gong Li.

Hope to accept an interview.

Gong Li glanced at Yang Mi, thought for a while, and nodded in agreement.

She meant to take some pictures with this little girl... Actress, that's it. It is true that the red carpet is full of splendor, but at this time, although most people are concentrated on the award-winning actor and actress, there is still some enthusiasm.

She doesn't care, but she is willing to sell Xiao Xu's child a favor.

As soon as she agreed, Zhang Ziyi was also invited by the staff.

As soon as the three of them met, Yang Mi was fine and felt nothing.

But Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li glanced at each other, and after seeing each other's surprised eyes, they both understood what was going on...

Obviously, this is a "premeditated" three generations in the same frame.

Moreover, the staff did not tell them in advance.

The expressions of the two of them instantly became a little uncomfortable.

It’s not about being uncomfortable with the other party, but about this kind of arrangement without prior notice.

When Yang Mi called "Hello, Teacher Zhang", Zhang Ziyi nodded at her first, then turned to Gong Li and said:

"Sister, let's make a quick decision?"

"Um."

Gong Li responded:

“Take a few photos and go.”

"You stand in the middle."

"good."

So, Gong Li stood in the middle, Zhang Ziyi stood on the right of Gong Li, and Yang Mi stood on the left of Gong Li, and walked up to the interview platform together.

The reporters swarmed over after a whimper.

Holding a microphone and camera, camera...

All aimed at Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi.

The two of them have rarely been in the same frame. Today, if the organizer hadn't played tricks, the two might not be able to get together. So when the reporters saw the organizer's arrangement, they almost knelt down and called their father and mother.

"Gong Li, what do you think of Zhang Ziyi's work "The Banquet"?"

"Zhang Ziyi, what do you think of "Golden Armor"? If there is a sequel, would you consider acting in it?"

"Gong Li..."

"Zhang Ziyi..."

Throughout the whole process, Yang Mi stood aside like a little transparent.

All the reporters' microphones and cameras were aimed at the two people next to them.

Even, the girl heard a sentence shouted by someone who didn't know:

"Excuse me, Yang Mi, can you step aside a little bit, I can't take pictures from this angle."

"okay."

The girl nodded, without arguing or grabbing, she took the initiative to take a step back.

Also keep smiling.

It seems that compared with the previous two generations of Mou girls, the Mou girls of her generation are not even farts.

The degree of reality of the Hong Kong media can be seen.

During the period, Gong Li looked back at her, but didn't say anything.

After answering two questions, he politely said thank you, then took a step back, and stood with Yang Mi.

At this time, the camera has moved some positions and angles.

Zhang Ziyi also took a step back after answering the two questions.

so…

The three generations are officially "in the same frame".

Actually speaking, as a seeking girl, Yang Mi naturally has some enthusiasm.

But no matter what... there are too many people here today.

There are all the big stars, and even if a new-generation mou girl with only one work wants to be noticed, it is doomed that the audience will be very few.

After all, everyone is also looking for girls. Both Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi have proven themselves internationally.

And you…

What are you...

A newly promoted Mou girl may be very powerful at other times, but today these people... out of ten out of ten are actor and actress queens, plus two generations of Mou girls are in the same frame. As the "third one", she really doesn't get much attention when these two people are rarely on the same stage, in the same frame, and even interviewed together...

After the three finished modeling, Gong Li nodded:

"Let's go."

The three of them walked off the red carpet and walked towards the exit.

On the way, Gong Li covered her mouth with her handbag and said to the girl:

"It's okay, don't bother with them, it's just a bunch of paparazzi."

"Uh-huh."

The girl responded, and then saw Sun Ting and Zeng Jia at the exit.

…

"Mr. Zhang, goodbye."

"Well, Mimi, bye, see you next time."

Zhang Ziyi waved at Yang Mi enthusiastically before leaving, and Sun Ting hurriedly put a coat on Yang Mi to cover the exposed back of the dress.

Gong Li has already left.

"Sister, shall we go back to the hotel to rest?"

"Don't take a rest."

Yang Mi shook her head:

"Go back and pack your luggage, find a car, and let's pass directly."

"Aren't you going to the dinner party?"

Zeng Jia was a little surprised.

She couldn't enter the venue, so she didn't know what happened inside.

She originally wanted to take Yang Mi to meet some directors and sell them.

After all, compared to the awards ceremony for the audience, the celebrity dinner later is the place for the actors to socialize.

But who knows Yang Mi shook her head directly:

"I don't like this place, let's go."

"..."

Zeng Jia was taken aback, and asked subconsciously:

"What's going on inside?"

"fine."

The girl still shook her head:

"I just don't like this place, go back. Tingting, where is the car?"

"Over there."

"Let's go."

All the way back to the car, because Sun Ting didn't have a driver's license here, she went back in the car provided by the organizer.

When I returned to the hotel, some artists had already returned one after another.

Whether it is an artist from Hong Kong or from the mainland, they have to change their clothes in the hotel room so that they can go to the dinner party.

Of course, it is not ruled out that people like Zhou Renfa will go home to change, and then eat something, and come over in the second half of the dinner.

The first half was a time for the young actors to socialize.

Even if big directors and big actors want to talk about something, they will find a quiet place, such as a cigar bar or a small high-end party. After the chat is almost done, they will choose to end and accept the sway of the stars. taste.

After this dinner, what kind of cooperation will there be, or who will walk into whose room, and what kind of transactions will be left aside for the time being, but the process is like this.

So at the moment, the four elevators in the hotel are somewhat blocked.

Even the artist and the artist team, this assistant, that agent, that assistant, huddled together. Everyone ranks according to their seniority, short people are selected as generals, the most popular ones go first, and the hippest ones wait behind...

Seeing this, Yang Mi waited aside with Zeng Jia and Sun Ting.

No way, the sofas in the hotel are full of people.

She stopped squeezing.

Standing silently in the corner, waiting, waiting, waiting...

Waiting for the familiar faces to smile, and walked into the elevator.

Finally, after everyone left, she said:

"Let's go."

The three of them came to the elevator.

But just as an elevator was approaching, there were waves of footsteps behind it.

Yang Mi instinctively turned her head to see that Liang Bingning and Wu Qilong were leading a dozen people walking this way.

Among them, who didn't know whether it was Liang Bingning or Wu Qilong, after seeing the elevator approaching, they ran over quickly, and when the elevator door opened, they blocked the elevator door with their hands.

Prevent the elevator doors from closing suddenly, trapping the artists behind.

But at the same time, a problem was posed for the three of Yang Mi.

That is... Do you want to squeeze?

Anyway, what they mean is that this elevator must be taken.

Seeing this, Yang Mi took another step back.

Politely moved away from the seat again.

She let Sun Ting react a bit slower, but still followed Yang Mi and took a step back.

But Zeng Jia moved her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

At this moment, the people who had already arrived at the elevator door had already entered the elevator on their own.

Wu Qilong and Liang Bingning were talking and laughing happily, but neither of them looked this way.

Seeking a girl is the same thing from the outside world.

But for those who are currently popular and have good relationships with various brokerage companies and large companies, as long as they are interested in the twists and turns of the "Golden Armor" crew, it is almost not considered an inquiry, and they will naturally know about it.

Maybe each of them has a slick temperament, and they are comprehensive in everything.

But that's only done for objects that are at least at the same height.

The big actor is all-round to the little actor?

What fairy tale are you talking about?

Then, the elevator doors close.

Yang Mi looked at herself reflected in the mirror after the elevator closed...

Didn't say a word.

While Sun Ting was silent and pressed the elevator again.

Soon, another elevator arrives.

After the guests came down, Yang Mi walked in.

Elevator doors close.

In the quiet elevator, suddenly, the girl asked:

"Tingting, what date is it today?"

"Uh... the 20th, March 20th."

Hearing what Sun Ting said, Yang Mi nodded:

"Um."

March 20, 2007.

After being exposed to the top class of this circle for the first time in a real sense, the girl was seriously taught a lesson by reality.

This circle: Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimps.

Only big fish can talk to big fish.

Soon, the elevator arrives.

After the girl returned to the room, she kicked off her high heels and sat on the bed, still rubbing her sore heels, while Sun Ting began to quickly gesture for clothes.

First, after finding a set of comfortable sportswear and sneakers for the girl, in front of the two of them, Yang Mi directly took off the dress, took off the bra, put on comfortable and loose underwear, stepped on After taking off the sneakers, I started to pack my cosmetics.

After putting everything from the charger into the bag, she checked the time...it was almost 8:30.

Back to Shenzhen, it was about 9:30 and 10:00.

"Sister Zeng, ask about the air ticket. If it's okay...if I can leave tonight, I want to go home."

"good."

Zeng Jia responded.

She also saw that the girl was in a bad mood.

So I called directly and started booking tickets.

Just in time, there is a plane departing at 10:50.

After Zeng Jia made the reservation directly, the luggage was also packed, and the three of them walked out of the room pushing the suitcase.

Along the way, I met several actors who were all on the same floor.

Being able to be on this floor means that everyone has the same coffee positions.

Seeing Yang Mi dragging her suitcase and leaving, she felt a little unbelievable.

Are you not going to the most important dinner party?

But no one reminded.

On the contrary, I am very happy.

Without the competition of "seeking girls", wouldn't the chances of being spotted be greater?

So they pretended not to know and said goodbye politely.

After leaving the hotel, Zeng Jia called a taxi in the bustling night scene of Causeway Bay.

Xiangjiang’s outrageous taxis are here.

There is an extra fee for opening the trunk, and an additional fee for sitting in the co-pilot...

But it doesn't matter.

Arriving at the station in Kowloon, after paying the money, Yang Mi saw several cars with double license plates.

Sun Ting went directly to negotiate the price, and after the negotiation was settled, she got into a Toyota Sienna.

Walking around, crossed the bridge, and came to the port.

Finally got on the plane.

During the period, the girl didn't seem to be in a good mood, and she didn't inform Xu Xin that she was going back, and she didn't even look at her mobile phone. She was either in a daze or distracted.

Then after getting on the plane, I fell into a deep sleep.

2 hours later, the plane landed, came to the parking lot and drove into the business car sent by the company.

"Sister Zeng, let's take you back first, and I'll let Tingting take me there."

"good…"

After Zeng Jia responded, she thought for a while and said:

"Don't think too much, go back to sleep, if you have any ideas, talk to me tomorrow."

"Hey, I got it."

It seems that because of going home, the girl finally saw a smile on her face.

But the silence was quickly restored.

Soon, the car came to the urban area, and after sending Zeng Jia to the place, Sun Ting asked:

"Sister, where are you going? Are you going home?"

"...Go to your Brother Xu."

"good."

A moment later, at Shijia Hutong, the girl got out of the car. After looking at the door and finding that Audi was not there, she knew that her boyfriend probably hadn't come back yet.

But it doesn't matter.

After waving to Sun Ting, she directly carried the suitcase and entered the door with the key.

Take a bath and change clothes.

When the tired girl came out of the bathroom, although she was already very tired, she still sat down at the dressing table conscientiously and started skin care.

After 2 o'clock in the morning, the skin care is finished.

She is sure that her boyfriend will not come back tonight.

not coming back…just right.

The reason why she didn't go home was because she didn't want her parents to see her depression.

And for the same reason, the absence of her boyfriend at this moment also gave her the most suitable loneliness.

Turn off the lights.

The bedroom was plunged into darkness.

The girl sat on the head of the bed, silent in the dark room.

Nobody knew what she was thinking.

She fell asleep on the plane and can't sleep now.

This insomnia helps her clarify things.

Some... After being naive, I suddenly saw something more real in this circle than the real thing, and I understood some principles and goals.
