I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 300 298. First (thanks to the leader of "Liu Wogua"!)

   "Director Xu, is there anything you want to say to those who watch our show in front of the screen?"

   "..."The Wind" will be released on June 12th, so please give us a lot of support. I also thank all those who have contributed in front of and behind the scenes of this movie. Thank you, everyone, for your hard work."

  …

   "Director Xu, one last question, what is the box office forecast for this movie?"

   "I hope that there will be more and more of them, and I also hope that domestic films will get better and better."

  …

"I don't think it is necessary to exaggerate that the release of "Transformers" 2 is an invasion or something. The meaning of the movie itself is for everyone to relax and entertain after dinner. As long as it is a good movie, it can To be seen by everyone, it is a good thing to let everyone forget their troubles for an hour or two under the pressure of their busy work or life. Of course, in the end, I still ask everyone to support "The Wind", thank you."

  …

   "Hi everyone, I'm director Xu Xin. It's a great pleasure to be here and meet you all."

  …

   One intensive activity after another.

   Before the release of "The Wind", it was proceeding in an orderly manner.

  In the past few days, Xu Xin has traveled almost all over the country.

  I was still in Sichuan in the morning, and I might fly to the Northeast in the afternoon.

   Coming out of the Northeast, I may have slept on the plane overnight, and then arrived in the humid and hot Guangdong...

  Sometimes he feels that maybe this is retribution.

  In "Secret", when Jay Chou complained about his busy schedule, he still didn't believe it.

   Do you think "Secret" can be as busy as the Olympics?

   But looking at it now...it's actually pretty much the same on both sides.

   It's just that one is hard work and the other is exhausted from the journey.

  However, this trip was not fruitless.

  When he was in Shenyang, he and Wang Sicong took a look at the "The Voice" audition that had already started.

   It’s inside Wanda Mall.

   There are quite a lot of people from the Northeast District to participate in the audition. The number of applicants from Shenyang District alone exceeds 600.

  The game the two of them watched was the second round promotion game in the afternoon.

   There are a total of three promotion methods for the voice audition.

  One primaries, one second round, one finals.

  There are five divisions across the country, each with 30 places.

   Plus 30 places from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

   And these 180 people will participate in the official program recording, from which four mentors will be selected, with a total of 72 people in the group stage.

  Xu Xin and Wang Sicong watched the second-round promotion match, and there was a participant who impressed Wang Sicong and Xu Xin deeply.

  The contestant's name is Wang Sulong.

  Looking at the information, he is a student of Shen Yin's Composition Department, and he sang an adapted version of "Sad Pacific" on the spot, with an accompaniment DEMO made by himself.

   It sounds really nice.

  And, looking at the number of participants on the scene...

  Well, I can only say that Jay Chou's appeal is really not covered.

  …

   Time is passing by little by little in the busy promotional activities of "The Wind".

  In fact, even Xu Xin himself admitted that the promotion of "The Wind" went very smoothly.

  Before the publicity started, because the director and the heroine got married and were pregnant and about to give birth, the popularity itself was very high.

Although I made up my mind not to say more about the private life of the two in this kind of publicity meeting, but this is the reason why many Internet celebrities are hyping, or some game manufacturers invite some Japanese AV actress to speak for them. the same.

  Black red is also red.

  The important thing is not to say what makes something popular.

   The important thing is that it is already red.

   "The Wind" is like this.

  Of course, it’s not that it’s black and red, but Yang Mi’s own popularity is here, from "Wulin Biography" that really made her popular all over the country, to the four small female roles selected by Nanfang Weekly. Her title of number one in the new generation Xiaohua has been confirmed.

  As for Xu Xin, although in the eyes of many viewers, even with the blessing of the Olympics, he is actually not as popular as Yang Mi.

  Of course, this is what people who don't know how to do.

  No one who really understands the entertainment industry would think that Xu Xinhong is no better than Yang Mi.

  On the contrary, whether it is a career or those experiences that can become an endorsement, he has gradually gained some power to speak since his debut.

  The combination of the two is itself a huge traffic bonus.

  Among the traffic dividends, "The Wind" is the first vent to bear the brunt.

Regardless of how popular the two are, you just need to know that the two filmed together... and there are also movies such as Liang Bingning, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xiaoming... and even Deyun Club's Yu Qian participated in the film, which will be released on June 12th. up.

  So, the real publicity, coupled with this wave of traffic bonuses, made this "wind" blow from the end of May to June, and it continued to blow.

that's all.

  Accompanied by promotional activities one after another, as well as various activities such as poster signings, June 11th finally arrived.

  Yanjing, Wanda Cinema.

  8 p.m.

   Half an hour before the premiere of "The Wind".

   This time, Yang Mi graciously invited all the acting students to attend the premiere.

   Wanda’s largest movie screening hall was used.

   And her classmates all gave face...

   I dare not lose face.

  No. 13 is the graduation ceremony of Beijing Film Academy.

  After that day, they bid farewell to school completely, stepped into the society, and stepped into the Vanity Fair where they followed their majors.

  In school, someone may be an excellent student council officer.

   Someone may have become a famous figure in the school by virtue of his appearance or some performances.

  But after leaving school, these auras can't bring them any substantial help.

  The contacts in the entertainment industry are more important than anything else.

   As the most popular and famous classmate so far, Yang Mi's achievements not only make many people envious and jealous behind her back, but also a person that everyone must treat with extreme caution in the future.

  Her invitation, who would dare not come?

   I wish I could come here a few more times.

  With the previous experience, these people also rented dresses, prepared carefully, and arrived at the scene early.

   It's just that everyone is sitting together this time.

   "Hey, will Director Zhang Yimou come today?"

   "I don't know, but I heard from Shanshan that she came last time."

   "Probably not, I heard that Director Zhang is filming "Three Shots"."

   "What about the other stars?"

   "It's useless if they come, I hope more directors will come..."

   "A lot of reporters will come today, right?"

   "Sure. Didn't you see just now that the stairs are full of people?"

   "Zhang Xiaofei, when you came to participate last time, who was there?"

  Hearing this, Zhang Xiaofei, who was sitting in the front row, came back to his senses and said in a low voice:

   "There are a lot of people here."

   “What does that process look like?”

"Last time, Xu Xin came to the stage first to thank the guests who came tonight, and after a few pleasantries, the movie started. After the movie was finished, he answered some questions from the reporters, and then disbanded... Oh yes, I can take a group photo when I go out later, As for the concierge desk at the entrance of the screening hall, there will be some reporters squatting there..."

  Zhang Xiaofei tried his best to explain the process in detail with everyone.

  Jiao Junyan who was listening was full of strange eyes...

  伱Are you really stupid or fake stupid...?

   Really say what you know?

  Although you are still classmates after graduation, most of you are competitors.

  If you don’t say it now, we can go out and take pictures as soon as the ceremony is over.

   At that time, there were the most reporters.

  But now that you say it like this, everyone knows...

Forget it.

   Stay away from this person in the future.

  Stupid...

   And at this moment, someone made a low cry:

   "Ah! Guo Degang!"

   "Where is it..."

  …

   During the premiere, everyone mobilized their network and invited some friends from the circle.

  So the whole premiere ceremony is really full of stars.

  Stars and big names from all walks of life gather.

   By the time it was close to 8:30, the entire screening hall was already full.

  At this time, the entire cast of "The Wind" began to enter.

   Everyone is saving face.

  Seeing these people come to the stage, they all applauded.

  The shutters of the reporters never stopped.

  After all, not only the leading stars came in with the team, but also cameos like Jay Chou and Lang Lang. However, the two of them didn't follow along to the stage, but went directly to the front and sat in the first row separately.

  The most noticeable thing is Yang Mi who is still wearing a loose long skirt.

  Because of being twins, her stomach can no longer be covered by a long skirt.

   looks particularly obvious.

  But the whole person is still top-notch in terms of complexion and temperament.

  Even if she is pregnant, she is still beautiful and unreasonable.

  Especially after becoming the boss of his own family, he faintly reveals the smell of a strong female president.

   People are particularly eye-catching.

   What people are more concerned about is not Liang Bingning, nor Zhang Hanyu...

   is the woman at the end of the line.

  Liu Yifei...

  Although I knew in advance that she was just a cameo in friendship.

  But now at the premiere, they all wear... vaguely, some people feel a sense of support. After all, it was also a cameo, Jay Chou and Lang Lang sat in the front row, but she came on stage.

   It's just not clear... who is the source of this support.

  Yang Mi?

  Xu Xin?

   Or Xiying Film Studio?

   But whatever.

  People, all are here.

  Xu Xin took over the staff's microphone:

   "Hello..."

  After hearing some empty echoes, he didn't write any ink, and said directly:

   "Thank you very much to all the seniors, teachers, colleagues, and journalists in the film industry for coming to the premiere of "The Wind" despite their busy schedules. Hello everyone, I am the young director Xu Xin."

   "Hi everyone, I'm Yang Mi."

   "I am Wang Zhiwen."

   "I am Yu Yu..."

   After introducing themselves one by one, they finally came to Liu Yifei.

  She seemed a little nervous, and after taking a deep breath, she said:

   "Hi everyone, I'm Liu Yifei."

   It was all calm.

  In this atmosphere, Xu Xin continued;

   "I hope this work will be loved by everyone. If there are any deficiencies, please criticize. Thank you."

   Following his words, everyone bowed slightly to express their gratitude.

  Then proceeded to step off the stage in the other direction.

   Finally sat in the first row of seats in the theater.

  The lights dimmed instantly.

  A very familiar dragon-shaped icon appeared.

And everyone sitting in the second row of Xiying Studio saw the flickering snowflake dots that appeared on the dark screen after the dragon icon ended, which looked like the old movie texture of the 1970s. Proudly produced by Xiying Group, I don’t know how many people took a deep breath.

  What they saw was...

  No such scene.

  Director Xu... Is this another tribute to us?

   Then, the screen went black again.

  The words full of snowflakes continued to appear, accompanied by the "click" sound effect of changing the film, and the faint sound of electricity:

   "click"

   Leading stars: Yang Mi, Liang Bingning.

   "click"

   Starring: Wang Zhiwen, Huang Xiaoming.

   "click"

   Starring: Zhang Hanyu, Yu Yu.

   "click"

   Starring: Su Youpeng, Shi Chaoqi.

   "click"

  Special starring: Ni Dahong, Liu Yifei

   "click"

  Friendly guest appearances: Jay Chou, Lang Lang.

   "...!"

  When Liu Yifei was in the special starring column, her eyes widened instantly.

  A surprise and absurdity quickly appeared in his eyes.

  But what was immediately replaced was a kind of... inexplicable emotion.

   At the end, along with the words "Director: Xu Xin", loud sound effects came from the pitch-black scene.

   Immediately afterwards, the Nanjing City Double Tenth Festival celebration under the puppet Wang regime appeared in the camera.

  In this hustle and bustle of the screen, the name of the movie still appears on the screen with the texture of flashing snowflakes:

   "The Sound of the Wind"

  The film officially begins.

  …

  Wang Zhiwen's evaluation of "The Wind" is: It's not horror, it's better than horror.

   At first, everyone misunderstood this sentence.

   Moreover, in the opening scene of Liu Yifei's assassination and the torture scene, they just felt that the color of the whole film was a bit... weirdly distorted.

   It doesn’t mean distortion, but the saturation of light and dark is too strong.

  In the bright place, whether it is the wound on Liu Yifei's face, the bloodshot eyes, or the blood vessels in the fair skin, they all seem to be clearly visible.

   But the dark place is very dim.

   Dark.

  Everything is just a blurry shadow.

  However, the torture scene at the beginning left a deep impression on them.

this…

   It should be Liu Yifei's first time playing such an embarrassing role, right?

  Ragged clothes, full of blood, oily hair, bruised cheeks...

   Is this really the fairy sister in "Sculpture of the Gods", after a battle in Xiangyang, she is still covered in white clothes like snow, but her face is smeared with pot bottoms?

   Not to mention, the gap is quite big.

but…

  The acting is not bad.

   Playing with Wang Zhiwen, the fear and pain were vividly interpreted.

very nice.

  However... In the next scene, after Liu Ye played by Wu Gang appeared, when Liu Yifei was shown again, she had already turned into a cold corpse...

   Good guy.

this…

  Special starring role, is it really a special starring role?

  Die is really fast...

  At the beginning, everyone felt that this name was not very appropriate.

   But as the story progresses, this inappropriateness gradually disappears.

  It was replaced by an inexplicable sense of depression.

  Obviously everyone was still laughing when they saw Jay Chou and Lang Lang playing the piano at the bar, but as the story of these people entered Qiuzhuang...

   This feeling of depression suddenly arises.

   Moreover, some directors here have already seen some clues.

  This director Xu Xin, not to mention... is really exactly the same as Lao Mouzi, showing his love for light and shadow to the fullest.

  The careful thinking of this play is also in it.

  How to create this sense of depression... or horror?

  Every director has a different idea.

  But the mainstream is nothing more than an abrupt turning point between "one still and one moving".

   It's as if you've been taken aback suddenly.

  But Xu Xin is different.

  He set up a very interesting little thought.

Light.

  The brighter the light, the darker the surrounding environment.

   And with those sound effects that should be amplified on purpose, such as the creaking sound of walking steps, such as the sound of military boots trampling, they all come from the darkness.

  First use this kind of environmental sound effect, followed by that kind of virtual reality conversion that is different from light shooting and dark shooting.

  Finally, there is another interesting shooting idea.

  The size of the light source.

  When a group of people gather together, the light surrounding that dining table is the greatest.

  But when it was everyone's turn to appear alone, the warm light surrounding them became smaller and smaller.

  Every time this scene appears, it can give people a very intuitive performance.

   It's like... the darkness is eating away at the light.

   And those lights represent their lives.

  This young man used these lighting lights as if he was alive.

  And, every night, the light source shrouding these people becomes more and more distorted, and the darkness becomes thicker and thicker.

  Through this method of light and shadow, advancing layer by layer, the depressive sense of terror is deeply engraved in everyone's hearts.

   What is even more surprising is the composition of this film.

  A real group portrait show.

   A little bit of unraveling process, reasoning, psychological activities with each character, and omens of death, etc.

   It's obviously not a scary movie, but in the end, everyone's heart became more and more cold after watching it.

  Especially when Li Ningyu was led to the torture room at night...

  The two rows of puppet-like soldiers suddenly sang in the darkness...

  Many people were taken aback.

   Unconsciously broke out in a sweat.

   At the same time, he became more and more speechless.

  A spy movie, relying on this light and shadow effect abruptly to create the déjà vu of a horror movie...

  Combined with the Morse code throughout and so on...

   It's a real job to play.

but…

   Capable! not simple!

  Unknowingly, the movie slowly came to an end.

  All the puzzles began to be explained in a whirlwind way.

  When the cloud hanging over the whole movie began to dissipate, everyone finally saw the clip of Yang Mi and Liang Bingning's one shot to the end.

   Here Xu Xin used a very clever technique.

  Although it is a one-shot sequence, the scene of Wu Zhiguo being tortured is still interspersed.

When Liu Yifei was tortured by the "Six Master" played by Wu Gang earlier, he made an explanation of the acupuncture method, so that everyone can understand the horror of the sixth master's "three needles, guilty confession, and detainment". .

And in this one shot to the end scene, Xu Xin used the method that even if the shots of Yang Mi and Liang Bingning were switched, it was Zhang Hanyu's turn, but the background sound was still the two people's quarrel, crying, reconciliation and other emotions. dialogue.

   Sometimes through the screen, sometimes through sound two interlaced shooting, while using Wu Zhiguo instead of Gu Xiaomeng to be tortured to exaggerate this sad emotion.

   While using the dialogue between Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu to promote Wu Zhiguo's sense of urgency that his life is not long.

  In this one-shot that can be called a textbook.

  Everyone has seen that this new generation of four little Huadans is at the pinnacle level in terms of lines and acting skills!

   In the end, the voice stopped abruptly in the cry of "Please, report me".

  While Wu Zhiguo's eyes were bloodshot and he lost consciousness, Li Ningyu appeared on time.

  The interlaced time and space on both sides finally merged together.

And in the end, when she saw the horrific execution by rope, and the fact that Yang Mi pierced Takeda's artery with the hook of the untied handcuffs, and was fatally hit by Wang Tianxiang and fell to the ground, she showed a "deserved death" smile, For a moment, everyone felt a little empty.

   And this feeling of emptiness did not last long.

Just as the dust settled together, from Wang Tianxiang's sudden death, to Takeda's throat spurting blood, and the death posture as if kneeling down to apologize... A scene between Li Ningyu and Wu Zhiguo unraveled all of this movie puzzles.

   When the final puzzle was solved and Zhang Hanyu drove away, in his inner crying monologue, the car slowly walked from a barren land to a place where flowers and green grass were thriving.

  Finally, when Yang Mi's narration of "My Dear One" full of affection and love sounded...

   At the end of the picture, she was frozen in the smile of her helping Li Ningyu mend clothes.

  The last wind blows...

   Disappeared.

  《The Sound of the Wind》——END.

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

  Amidst the silence, the cast list appeared.

  The entire auditorium lights up.

  Although everyone has not responded yet, Xu Xin has already stood up first.

  He got up, and the others also got up, and then walked to the stage below the screen.

   And this time, he took Yang Mi's hand.

  Watching movies in the first row, some people will feel a little dizzy.

  He has to protect Yang Mi carefully.

  The two held hands and just walked to the steps...

  Suddenly...

   "Crack, crack, crack..."

   "Wow la la la la la la..."

   It didn't take more than a second for the sporadic applause to come together.

  Xu Xin paused...

  Finally, amid applause, he took Yang Mi's hand and walked onto the stage.

  Standing under the spotlight, listening to the applause, a look of relief appeared in his eyes.

should…

   Is it a success?

  Among the applauding crowd, Guo Zhengyi said to Ji Jianmin next to him:

   "The younger generation is awesome..."

   Ji Jianmin was speechless.

   just nodded slightly.

Um.

this movie…

   Got it!

  …

   "The Wind Sound: One of the best spy war movies so far"

   "Frontiers of film and television: What kind of story does "The Wind" tell?"

   "The premiere of "The Wind" was a great success and received a lot of praise."

   "Real shooting of "The Wind" premiere at midnight: line up to buy tickets, the scene is hot!"

  …

  Early in the morning on the 12th, Xu Xin saw many comments about last night's "The Wind" on the Internet.

   "Douban" started off with a very good score, directly scoring 8.7 points, and the number of participants was as high as 3,500.

   And a bunch of long and short comments.

   But he didn't go to see it, because Yang Mi felt a little out of breath when she got up in the morning.

  He hurriedly dragged her to the hospital for an examination.

   When I checked it out, I was a little tired recently, but it's not a big problem.

   But that's the case, so frightened, Xu Xin hurriedly canceled all the remaining things, and planned to stay with her quietly at home.

  Even Yang Mi’s appointment to have lunch with Liu Yifei at noon was cancelled.

   It made her a little unhappy.

   But Xu Xin really couldn't help but stare at her.

  He stared, and Yang Mi, who was yelling warnings from the Realm King Fist every day, fell in seconds.

   Made an appointment with Liu Yifei to have a get together tomorrow night.

   In this way, the couple stayed at home for a whole day, and the family's private doctor and nutrition team also watched for a whole day.

   Didn’t even leave at night, just slept in the courtyard next door.

  The purpose is to prevent any accidents.

   Today, Yang Mi slept very early and started yawning after 8 o'clock.

   Lie on the bed early.

  But Xu Xin couldn't sleep, because he was still waiting for the box office of "The Wind" on its first day.

  The box office on the first day is an important reference for the box office. He has to stay up late and wait.

  So he logged into QQ with his mobile phone, lying in bed and chatting with the people in the small group.

   There are not many people in this small group.

  He, Wang Sicong, Lang Lang, Jay Chou, Lin Xingxin.

   Just these five.

   Lang Lang:

   "Is it out yet?"

  Wang Sicong:

   "Brother, are you jet-lagged and confused? It's not even 12 o'clock here."

   Lang Lang:

   "Oh yeah, I forgot."

  Jay Chou:

   "Play a game?"

  Wang Sicong:

   "Okay, I can, Lin Gou, how about you?"

   Lang Lang:

   "You play, I won't play."

  Wang Sicong:

   "I won't take you either, we're going to the first room."

   Lang Lang:

   "Garbage, dissatisfied with Karl SOLO?"

  Xu Xin:

   "Old Wang, have you asked about the attendance rate? How is Wanda?"

  Wang Sicong:

"I asked, they are all sold out, why don't I tell you, all universities are on vacation one after another, and there are many people watching movies. Besides, there are no big movies during this period, so don't worry... the last one you Isn't it quite calm?"

  Jay Chou:

   "He's so calm. In order to read Douban comments, I stayed up with him until two or three o'clock in the morning."

  Lin Xinxin:

   "Either you two are true love / squinting smile"

   Lang Lang:

   "Hahaha~"

  Jay Chou:

   "Garbage, don't accept SOLO?"

  Lin Xinxin:

   "No, I'm watching the news."

  Wang Sicong:

   "Lin Gou is now nicknamed "Brother No Way", hahahaha, I have been picking up my phone all day. I have called my seven aunts and eight aunts, and asked them if they watched the movie and saw his performance. Hahaha~"

  Jay Chou:

   "Understood, no bro, you can't?"

   Lang Lang:

   "Hahahahaha~"

  Lin Xinxin:

   "Come, come, solo, solo, Axe solo!"

  Jay Chou:

   "You are super brave~ Get on the number and get on the number, play a round."

  The group was buzzing with excitement, but Xu Xin had no intention of replying.

   Just looking at the time on the screen, every minute and every second feels like a year.

11 o'clock.

  11:15.

  11:30.

  11:50...

12 o'clock…

  Xu Xin:

   "Old Wang, hurry up! Report the data up! Hurry up!"

  Wang Sicong:

   "OK, I'll call them."

  …

"elder brother…"

   While Xu Xin was waiting for the result, Yang Mi, who was asleep, suddenly woke up.

  Xu Xin instinctively grabbed the phone and asked:

   "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

   "No... what time is it?"

   "It's just after 12 o'clock."

   "...Has the box office come out yet?"

   "Not yet... you go to bed, I don't know what time it is when you come out."

"Um."

  Yang Mi responded, and turned around with some difficulty. After facing Xu Xin, she calmed down and at the same time quietly took Xu Xin's hand.

  Xu Xin no longer looked at the screen, but waited patiently for news from Qi Lei.

   Waiting for another ten minutes.

  Finally, there was a vibration in his mobile phone.

  He quickly pushed open the slide cover of the phone, and sure enough, he saw Qi Lei's message.

  Open it and see a series of numbers:

   "Director Xu, the box office on the first day: 16.03 million!!"

   "!!"

  The moment he saw this number, a rush of blood rushed to Xu Xin's brain.

"How many?"

  Yang Mi's voice suddenly sounded in the dark bedroom.

   Obviously, although she didn't move just now, she hasn't fallen asleep.

   And now Xu Xin didn't care about it for the time being, and said in a low voice with excitement:

   "1603!! 16.03 million!"

   Or maybe they are husband and wife.

  As soon as his emotions come out, most people may feel that this is because they are excited by the box office.

   But after hearing this, Yang Mi asked instinctively:

   "First!?"

   "...Hmmm! First!"

  In the darkness, Xu Xin's eyes shone brightly, and he answered in earnest!

   Then after a second of silence...

   "Haha~ First place!"

  The first-day box office record of 15.8 million created by "Golden Armor" was successfully surpassed by him with 16.03 million, and he won the first place.

  Although I don't know how long I can sit...

but…

   First!

   Thanks to the boss of "Liu Wogua" for the reward! Thank you so much.

  In addition, blame me for my negligence, the boss of "Simuous" tipped another leader this month, I just saw it now, sorry.

  So, the current leader owes more: 5 more.

   This month should not be finished, but I will try my best. If this month is not finished, it must be cleared before the 10th of the next month!

thank you for your support!
