I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 249: 247. Female Killer

Chapter 249 247. Female Killer

Sichuan restaurant.

"I've seen your profile. You debuted as a singer, right? The song is quite popular. And you were interviewed by the governor of the United States?"

"Brother Xu, have you heard my album?"

"without."

"Its sales were poor, with less than 10,000 copies. But under the operation at home, I won the award. I have never learned to sing, and the album only has three songs, which are not very good."

"..."

"To be received by the governor, you only need to donate about 70,000 to 80,000 U.S. dollars to the fund organization under his name. People in China don't know much about it, but it looks very powerful. In fact, there were people in the reception. More than forty people lined up for a group photo. It’s like buying a photo.”

"Well…"

…

"Mimi, does "The Wind" still lack female characters?"

"Ah? Yifei... If it was someone else, I would definitely not say it. Because Xu Xin wouldn't let me say it, but I won't hide it from you. In fact, except for Li Ningyu and Gu Xiaomeng, all the female characters in this play are Some roles that don't have much role are not suitable for you."

"I... don't care about the size of the character."

"Well…"

"Mimi... Are you worried that my matter will affect this movie?"

"That's true. But I can't promise you, after all, Xu Xin is not here today. I can only go back and ask for you, okay?"

"Well! I really don't care about the size of the character, and... don't be afraid that I will affect anything."

"I'm not afraid. We are friends. If you need help, shouldn't I help you? But I still say the same thing. You have also seen Xu Xin make a movie. That time we were in "Golden Armor", you came to visit the set When he was filming, the scene he was filming was actually his make-up shot for Director Zhang. Because he thought it would be better for him to handle that scene this way, after persuading Director Zhang, Director Zhang asked him to make up the shot.

He has his own pursuit of movies, and he will become very strict when encountering this aspect. I can only ask for you, but I cannot promise you anything. But I will definitely ask for you, Yifei, don't worry. We are friends and I know your character. Even if something happened, I believe it was definitely not your intention. I understand. "

"..."

"Oh, why are your eyes red..."

"No... nothing. Have a drink, cheers."

…

"Brother Xu, my management team thinks this movie is very important to me, but I have mentioned our relationship with them implicitly, so don't worry."

"Well…"

"If possible, I would like to go with a learning attitude, is that okay? I still have self-knowledge..."

"..."

…

"I just said that we did something wrong, and it shouldn't be like this. I said that from today onwards, I will fight for the role on my own, and I don't want to live under your protection."

"..."

"Then we had a big fight... It happened that Dad came back to China for vacation, and I stayed with Dad during this time."

"... Is Aunt Liu in contact with you?"

"No, neither of us will talk to each other in the future."

"..."

"Don't you believe it? I will do what I say! From now on, I will fight on my own!"

"...but your contract is still at... Mr. Chen's place."

"I will let the godfather terminate the contract."

"..."

…

"Uncle, I will talk about it, so that Uncle Xu and my uncle can get along. Brother Xu, do you think this is okay?"

"..."

…

"Mimi, can you tell me when the audition will start?"

"..."

…

It's almost 10 o'clock in the evening.

When Yang Mi, with red cheeks, returned home, her face was full of lovelessness.

But she saw her fiancé, who was more unlovable than herself, lying on the recliner, looking straight at her.

"..."

The two just stared at each other for a while...

Yang Mi shook her head suddenly:

"I'm not interested tonight."

"Coincidentally, I'm not interested either."

"I was shattered by what Aunt Liu did..."

"Coincidentally, I also met an interesting girl who can smash my facial features."

"...? So exaggerated?"

"Well, do you know what Jing Tian said to me when I asked her if she really wanted to play "The Wind"? She asked me: Can I not act?"

"Um????"

Yang Mi was in a trance for a while, but after thinking about it, she said:

"Liu Yifei had a big fight with her mother, and the two wanted to sever the relationship between mother and child... Oh no, she unilaterally decided to sever the relationship between mother and child. And there seems to be something wrong with black and white..."

"Um????"

"..."

The young couple suddenly found out.

The meal that everyone ate separately at night seemed to have enough topics to arouse their interest.

So...

"Explain?"

"Pour tea."

"Hiccup..."

After the sound of the seat moving, Xu Xin sat in front of the tea table and started to boil water, while Yang Mi sat opposite him and began to sigh.

"well…"

Then, when she saw her fiancé lighting a cigarette, she also took one out of the cigarette box herself, and deliberately imitated Xu Xin's action of pinching a cigarette, but did not light it.

Instead, he continued with his cigarette between his fingers:

"Liu Yifei's attitude is actually very simple to say. She asked me for various characters in "The Wind". I thought about it and sent her a script. I told her that apart from Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu, only There is only a female killer who assassinated the traitor at the beginning and was caught and tortured, which is still a bit of a role, and the rest is gone."

"..."

"I thought she would dislike Shao and give up the idea. But she didn't...According to her words, she wants to terminate the contract with Chen Jinfei, and then start to break into this circle by herself..."

"..."

"So, I don't dislike any role, because she has to start from scratch."

"..."

"Then I asked what was going on, and she told me why she dove over Huayi. It's similar to what Huang Xiaoming said, that is, Aunt Liu and his godfather didn't treat Huayi as a dish in the first place. I thought she would Hua Yi is "condescending".

Later, I felt that Li Lianjie and Cheng Long's movies could be made like this, and after it was released, she was scolded by the whole network because of the role of "Golden Swallow". The daughter is purely inferior here.

Anyway, it didn’t do much after being pigeonholed by the Tang people. In addition, Chen Jinfei and the bearded Zhang Jizhong have a good relationship. In the future, they will never worry about not being able to make a movie, so Hua Yi was kicked out.

As a result, Hua Yi also became ruthless. In the future, there will be her movie, and Hua Yi's artists will not cooperate at all. For the role she is suitable for, Hua Yi's candidate can play the role at a reduced salary... In short, it's just a fight.

But it didn't work out, because her father asked someone to talk to him... Hua Yi sort of eliminated this point, and no longer targeted her. But she committed a taboo in the industry, unless some new company is about to come up now and choose her as a pillar, otherwise no one would dare to continue to use her.

That's why I want to go to Hong Kong circle.

But the problem is that the Hong Kong circle now also depends on the face of the mainland, so there are only some companies that want to make quick money by taking advantage of idol fame. For example, cooperate with a popular singer or idol to make a low-cost movie to make money. But people also have a request, that is, to stir up scandals with these artists and heat them up. But Aunt Liu thought that this would affect her daughter's future, so she pushed them all away.

Then Chen Jinfei now wants her to go back to filming TV dramas, but the domestic circles won't use her, and Huayi's flag has died down, but in order to maintain dignity, this is a secret thing, and everyone thinks they are watching on the surface. . So... she's embarrassed right now and desperately needs a foothold. "

After finishing speaking, she shook her head:

"She is so well protected... Do you know what she said to me at the dinner table? She said that she finally realized the warmth and warmth of people in this circle. When she was good before, these people didn't dare to make such requests. But Now let her, an actor, not rely on her work to speak, but to stir up gossip first..."

"..."

"Actually, these are commonplace things for us. She gave me the feeling... as if I was in high school, you know? It's still a little naive... and she said she would cut off the mother-daughter relationship with Aunt Liu? How is it possible, legally There is no such thing. How could it be broken? Her father is also married a second time!"

"I don't care too much about these, I would like to ask you to tell the story of black and white impermanence..."

"Don't ask me, I get goosebumps just thinking about it."

"..."

Under Xu Xin’s dumbfounding eyes, after finishing talking about the central content of tonight’s gathering, and forcibly ignoring certain stories at least 10,000 characters away, Yang Mi added another one:

"So, after a few days of auditioning, I can't even imagine the expressions of the group of people who wanted to audition for the unknown female killer when they saw her appear on the scene."

“…then don’t let her show up.”

"???"

Yang Mi was taken aback.

But Xu Xin shook his head slightly and said:

"You can communicate with her. It's okay to come to the audition. When you come, you can start at any time. You don't have to make her wait there like other actors. She will leave after the audition. Just keep it secret when the time comes. This bit of face...I can still For her..."

Yang Mi's heart widened, and she responded with a smile:

"Well. What about you? What's going on with Jing Tian?"

Bringing this up, Xu Xin smiled instead:

"This girl... is quite interesting. She is sober in the world."

"How sober?"

"She told me that she didn't want to act in my movie, because she read the original book and couldn't read it after seeing the second chapter. She didn't think it attracted her. But she had to come to act, because our father and her The family has a cooperation, if she doesn't act, it's hard to say whether the business will be discussed. But as long as she acts, then the business between our father and her family will be smooth."

"…Yo?"

Yang Mi showed a surprised expression.

"Then what?"

"Also said that her management team also hopes that she can appear, and hopes to get a heavyweight role."

"..."

"And the company she signed was established especially for her. The requirement of the whole team is not to act as the protagonist, and not to act in roles that are not heavy. To be able to act in a role, at least it must be an actor..."

"...??????"

Yang Mi was dumbfounded.

Subconsciously came a sentence:

"Isn't she afraid of being exploded so that there is no scum left?"

"Then who knows."

Xu Xin shrugged.

"But the problem is the first time we met, how can I spend my heart and soul with her? She has her own strategy, and it's definitely not appropriate for you, an outsider, to go up and tell her what to do. So I can't say it directly... If there is a chance in the future, I will rush to talk there , or because she suffered a loss, or her family came to ask me, I might say. But if she doesn't speak, I can't speak these words. "

"Well…"

Holding the teacup, Yang Mi thought for a while and nodded:

"Then don't tell me, I'll keep an eye on her."

"…what are you up to?"

Xu Xin was a little puzzled, but suddenly there was a meaningful expression on the face of his fiancée who was somewhat similar to his father:

"It's just a matter of personal preference. But... I have to ask Uncle Xu to cooperate with me when the time comes."

Good guy, as soon as this expression came out, Xu Xin yelled "Dad".

His eyes suddenly became strange.

Yang Mi didn't think too much, and continued to ask:

"And then? How do you plan to arrange it?"

"At that time... add a character. I was thinking about this just now and added a role like a guide. The background setting of that place was changed by the Japanese into a palace for high-ranking officials. I added a waiter, such as Someone like a messenger. There are frontal shots, and there are also a few lines of transitional roles."

"Hmm... suitable. There must be servants in the palace."

"Yes, that's what you're considering."

Holding the teacup in his hand, Xu Xin fell into a state of contemplation again after saying this.

Yang Mi silently drank a pot of tea, then got up and walked into the bedroom.

The "working status" of the two is different at the moment.

So it is better to separate.

Bath, makeup remover, skin care.

It's almost 12 o'clock in the evening, and it's time to sleep.

Suddenly, the bedroom door was opened.

Yang Mi poked her head out:

"Hey, boy."

"...?"

Xu Xin came back to his senses and looked over.

Then I heard a sentence:

"Auntie bought a new pair of these..."

Following the words, two white strands appeared on "Auntie"'s hand.

She also tugged.

Excellent stretch.

Then, she tilted her head:

"Guys, any ideas?"

"..."

Xu Xin narrowed his eyes and was silent for a while, then said:

"Sounds good..."

"It looks better, hurry up, let's go into the house."

"Okay, Auntie."

Xu Xin frantically turned off the light in the living room.

People are forgetful.

The words "I'm not interested tonight" just said, I have long forgotten my grandma's house.

…

November 20th.

Xi Film Group Beijing Department, Xu Xin, Li Pingdong, Qi Lei, Guo Zhengyi, including the assistant director of the crew, Li Haiping who was directly assigned by Xi Film Studio.

A total of ten people sat in the small audition hall on the third floor.

Today is the day when the audition starts. Except for Li Ningyu, all the characters including Gu Xiaomeng will end their audition today and tomorrow.

Choose first.

I can’t find the right one, so I’m looking for it.

When a few people went to the corridor, they saw a lot of people sitting in the two adjacent halls filled with waiting seats.

Among them are some faces that you can see on TV a lot...but you can't necessarily name them.

There are even some people who can name them, all of them are there.

are all actors, there is no artist team or what.

The artist team's assistants are all waiting downstairs.

Can't come up.

After a dozen people sat in two rows, Xu Xin first checked the scripts in front of him.

Whether it’s Takeda, or the villains like Wang Tianxiang, Commander Zhang, or the five-person group, the cleaner, etc., everyone has one or two scripts.

It is used for audition for a while.

And there is a video camera next to it, and a 29-inch LCD screen next to it.

After a while, the audition screen will also be broadcast here, so that the director team can see the performance from two different angles of the scene and the camera.

Everyone was seated, Qi Lei, as the "host", nodded to the staff:

"Let everyone get ready, the audition will start in ten minutes."

The ten minutes are for the actors to clear their minds and enter the performance state.

After the staff went out, Xu Xin sat behind the desk and looked at the profiles of the actors who had half of the auditions today.

Look at one by one.

Very quickly, ten minutes flew by.

Qi Lei asked:

"Director Xu, start?"

"Um."

Following Xu Xin's response, Qi Lei nodded to the staff.

After about a minute, the door was opened and a girl walked in.

She looked quite nervous, especially when she saw the two rows of people in front and back, she swallowed unconsciously.

Walked stiffly to the place where the cross tape was pasted on the ground, glanced at all the "examiners" including Xu Xin who faced her with silence and scrutiny, and bowed:

"Hello directors, I'm Wang Xiaochen, 20 years old this year. I graduated from the Shanghai Drama Academy. I'm 167 cm tall and weigh 43 kg. The audition is for the role of "Gu Xiaomeng" in this work."

"..."

As soon as she said this, she was almost sentenced to death.

Because everyone knows that Gu Xiaomeng is for Yang Mi.

But why almost.

The reason is the possibility of the role of "female killer".

Because both characters have a torture scene at the same time, the role of the female killer was not disclosed at all, but let people use the torture scene of "Gu Xiaomeng" to try.

If Xu Xin thinks it's okay, then just go to contact him.

At that time, you can also give a "friendship guest star" title to improve your coffee status.

But the people present are all veterans, so it is naturally impossible to show any strangeness on the surface.

After hearing her self-introduction, Li Haiping nodded to one of the two drama directors next to him who was in charge of picking up the show today.

One of the directors said:

"Let's play the excerpt of Gu Xiaomeng being interrogated. Gu Xiaomeng's body was smeared with spices from Ceylon by Wang Tianxiang. It was the favorite smell of a dog named "Ba Niu". It began to bite and gnaw. Your body. You have a minute to prepare. Please pick up the props yourself."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaochen glanced at the few stools piled in the corner, and did not choose to take them, but took a deep breath...

Xu Xin nodded secretly.

Well, it’s okay, the emotional adjustment is quite fast.

But this slight appreciation disappeared without a trace after a minute.

"ah!!!"

Hearing the ear-piercing screams, Xu Xin was speechless.

The girl in front of her looked like **** was tied to the cross, her arms were raised straight up, and the only movements left were screaming and shaking her head.

She wants to show she's struggling...but the question is, can you stop bobbing your head so fast?

Like a rattle.

I can't see the slightest expression.

But the voice is not bad...

My ears hurt.

"Okay, that's it."

Really worried that she would shout a broken voice, Xu Xin directly stopped the performance.

Then nodded to her:

"Go back and wait for the notification."

"..."

Wang Xiaochen was stunned, subconsciously combed his messy hairstyle, and bowed respectfully:

"Thank you, teachers."

As soon as she left, Xu Xin put the document in front of her into the basket beside her.

Obviously, this kind of performance is definitely not qualified.

And being thrown into this basket, it is a direct PASS and is not even considered.

The people present had no opinion on his choice.

really…

Except for the fact that this girl screams badly, she is really not good at anything else.

Immediately after that, the second place.

Seeing the people who came in, Xu Xin was overjoyed.

And also stood up:

"Brother Qianer."

"Hey. Hello directors~"

Yu Chen nodded with a smile, but he didn't get too close.

Instead, it was Xu Xin:

"Why didn't I see you just now?"

"Didn't I go to smoke now?"

Hearing this, Xu Xin smiled and nodded:

"Well, don't leave at noon, let's have dinner together."

"Don't tell me, don't you have to audition this afternoon, I think there are still a lot of good actors outside. I want to drink when I'm done with work~"

"Hahaha~ yes, Brother Qianer, there is a stool."

Pointing to the props, Xu Xin unscrupulously showed his preference for "actor Yu Yu".

This is the archetype of the golden fire in his heart.

After finishing speaking, he added:

"Let's try the questioning scene. You take a chair and sit there...Director Li, give me a profile shot."

Hearing this, Li Pingdong nodded and said to his apprentice Lin Li:

"Side bust."

Lin Li quickly got up and adjusted the camera.

Yu Chen took the chair and moved to the front of the cross.

After the person sat down, he leaned back on the chair with a very relaxed mood, and even raised his legs.

Then, after looking at the script book twice, he smiled kindly:

"It's time to start~"

Hearing this, the drama manager glanced at it without saying a word, but turned his attention to Xu Xin on the next screen, and read out Wang Tianxiang's lines:

"Old Jin, are you the one who spread the information? Are you a spy?"

Yu Chen shook his head without thinking, and the smile on his face turned into a look of surprise when he shook his head.

It was as if Jin Shenghuo didn't expect Wang Tianxiang to ask such a straightforward question so abruptly.

Then, he blinked his eyes twice quickly, and his tone became very urgent:

"Old Wang! It's not me! It's not!"

After saying this, his body language turned into a gesture of supporting the armrests with his hands as he wanted to get up from the chair. uneasiness:

"How can I be a spy!"

"You really didn't report it? You have no contact with underground terrorists?"

When the drama manager spoke the lines, Yu Qiang's mouth opened and closed to speak.

Eyes blink rapidly.

Sitting becomes a little more normal:

"No, no, old Wang...you know me, I'm timid! How can I have the courage to do this?...Eh, no, old Wang! Old Wang~~~"

His posture changed to a slight forward lean, and a smile appeared on his face again.

A flattering smile.

Called Wang Tianxiang's title twice in a row, and finally made a long sound.

With a non-stop forward leaning, nodding along the forward leaning, and drawing an arc with the chin, he said:

"How many years have we been brothers... Don't you know how I got the position of the chief of the military aircraft department? Right? Ha... It's just... nepotism. Right? Isn't the one in our family with the commander's wife? Cousins~ Others don’t know, Lao Wang... don’t you know me?”

He directly ignored the next question that Wang Tianxiang should have asked.

Instead, he uttered this line in a very natural performance state.

Here, Wang Tianxiang was supposed to ask, "You are the chief of the military aircraft department~ a close minister of the commander...", and then Jin Shenghuo explained this paragraph of "how did I get here as the chief of the military aircraft department".

But Yu Chen’s omission, not to mention... Everyone present felt that it was very natural.

After mixing the two questions into one answer, Jin Shenghuo should be smooth and tense in this scene, but in fact there is a knife hidden in the cotton, which vaguely reminds Wang Tianxiang of her backstage background. The attitude shows.

The tension in this performance was opened up at once.

From the "casual" at the beginning to the "formal" when Wang Tianxiang asked sharp questions, and the "nervousness" of fidgeting, and finally to the attitude of reminding Wang Tianxiang "I am not made of mud" from the side.

The whole process of the character's mentality transformation is extremely smooth.

Moreover, this interview scene itself pays more attention to the lines than to the acting skills. Xu Xin's processing here is to switch back and forth between the screens when the time comes. To express Wang Tianxiang's full sense of oppression in every question and the psychological activities of the person being asked.

The tone of the lines is particularly important at this time.

As soon as Yu Qian opened his mouth like this, he completely matched the image of Jin Shenghuo in Xu Xin's heart.

That's it.

That's the attitude.

If Jin Shenghuo was not smart, he would not be the director of military aircraft.

If he was limp, he would not be able to make such a decisive suicide move in the end.

Obviously, this person is hiding a knife in his smile, and he has the temperament to make decisive decisions when things go wrong.

Yu Yang's performance was exactly in line with his expectations.

When something happened, Xu Xin nodded slightly here.

Observing every micro-expression of Brother Qian'er on TV, surprise gradually appeared in his eyes.

Brother Qianer's acting skills...

Not bad at all.

Real deal can.

…

Less than 2 minutes later, the performance ended.

No need to be reminded, Xu Xin nodded:

"Yes, Brother Qianer, this is really possible..."

"Uh... lol."

Yu Chen laughed heartily:

"It made everyone laugh."

He was polite, and then he heard Xu Xin say:

'Then go back... We have done research here and will contact you. Fine? I won't send you off. "

"Okay. Then everyone is busy, I won't waste everyone's time. Let's go out first~"

Yu Chen left with a smile.

As soon as he left, Guo Zhengyi said in surprise:

"I didn't see it... Didn't he talk about cross talk?"

"This is the senior brother of our school's director department."

Xu Xin smiled and explained:

"To tell you the truth, Jin Shenghuo is the prototype of the character in my heart... What do you think?"

"I'm OK."

Guo Zhengyi spoke first.

And Li Pingdong also nodded:

"The temperament fits well."

Qi Lei also responded:

"I think it's okay..."

Everyone asks, everyone has objections.

Hearing this, Xu Xin nodded, found Brother Qian'er's information from another stack of materials, and put it directly in the folder at hand.

Next, the next one.

One after another.

Some people were directly passed, and some were kept for temporary observation, planning to go back and watch the audition video to decide whether to keep it.

In this way, the time came to more than 11 o'clock.

At this time, Xu Xin's phone rang.

Signaling to pause calling the number, he glanced at the caller and whispered to several directors around him:

"Liu Yifei is here, let her try first."

"...?"

Qi Lei was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously asked:

"Liu Yifei? Whose role will you try?"

He thought it couldn't be Gu Xiaomeng, right?

It's all a matter of death.

But Xu Xin shook his head slightly and said:

"The female killer at the beginning."

"..."
