I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 449: 447. Nothing But the Princes of the Fenghuo Opera

  Chapter 449 447. Nothing more than the princes of the beacon fire drama

   "Mimi, sorry to bother you."

   Li Minnian said politely.

   "Haha, what are you talking about. Do you need something from me?"

  Out of the door of the contact hall, she looked left and right...looking for a quieter place.

   And Sun Ting, who has an extraordinary understanding with her, is also looking for her.

   This is a dance practice class temporarily rented by the crew of "The Great Master" and being transferred.

   It is specially for the actors to practice some tricks and moves.

   Sun Ting quickly found an empty dance room, and Yang Mi walked in.

  At the same time, she heard Li Minnian on the phone saying:

   "It's like this... Mimi, if there are other things, I will definitely not call you. But I think I must talk to you about this matter."

   "Yeah, let me tell you."

  Yang Mi entered the room, took the water glass handed over by Sun Ting, she didn’t think it was dirty, just sat down on the floor, and asked while drinking water:

"What's wrong?"

   "Shishi has just been ordered by the company to stop all work... Mr. Cai ordered it directly."

  Yang Mi stopped drinking water.

"…Why?"

   "Because she rejected a script, the name of the script is "Gong Suo Xin Yu."

   "..."

  In an instant, the eyes of the little young woman became narrow and long.

  Like a fox who has noticed something.

   "Brother Li knows about "Gong Suo Xin Jade"?"

   "I know, Shishi told me just now. It's like this..."

  He recounted everything from when Liu Zhishi got the script to when the two of them discussed on the bench after they left the company, like Yang Mi showed that he already knew about "Gong Suo Xin Jade".

   After finishing speaking, he continued:

   "Shishi's original intention was not to let me make this call with you or maybe the director..."

"Well, I understand. But in the same way, I don't think there is anything wrong with what you did, Brother Li. After all, Shishi rejected the script because of me, and she was "involved" by me. Fortunately, you notified me, otherwise if I If you are kept in the dark, you will be even more unhappy when you find out later.”

   "..."

  The corner of Li Minnian's mouth twitched.

  But immediately heard Yang Mi's words:

   "That's why I said, I don't treat you, Brother Li, as an outsider. I understand what you mean by making this call. Everything is to protect Shishi... No wonder Shishi treats you, Brother Li, like her own brother."

  Hearing this, he felt at ease again.

  He understood, Yang Mi understood what he meant.

   At the same time, it also gave very positive feedback.

   Then it’s easy to say:

   "Then what should I do now? I'm worrying..."

   "Well... where is Shishi now?"

   "She drank too much at the finale banquet yesterday, and now she has an hourly room opposite the company to rest. Isn't she going to have dinner with Director Xu tonight?"

"…Yep."

  Yang Mi pondered for a while and asked:

   "Then according to what you said, Brother Li, "Strange Man" is gone, right?"

   "...Well. Mr. Cai has already said, let Tang Yan act."

   "Ha~"

  Yang Mi chuckled lightly:

   "It's really coming back again... Well, okay, then, let me talk to Xu Xin about this matter. Aren't you guys still having dinner tonight? How about talking about it then?"

"OK."

  Li Minnian hurriedly said:

   "Anyway, I'm just calling to talk to you, as long as you know about it."

   "Well, I understand. Then I'll hang up first."

"OK."

   Beep.

  The phone hangs up.

  Holding the water glass, Yang Mi sat on the floor and thought for a while, then suddenly said to Sun Ting:

   "When is the Academy Award coming?"

"April 15th. There are still ten days left. The original plan was to go on the 15th. Miss, you haven't decided whether to attend the dinner, so I tentatively plan to come back on the morning of the 16th. I have already told Director Wang about this. Zhang Zhen Go too, he's from the crew of "Red Cliff."

  Sun Ting quickly reported Yang Mi's itinerary.

  Yang Mi nodded slightly:

   "I remember... Tang Yan also acted in a movie last year, right?"

   "Yes, "Fengyun 2"."

   "Are you shortlisted this time?"

   "Yes, I remember seeing it before, they have at least one art director award. You mean...Will Tang Yan go?"

"Um."

  Yang Mi responded:

   "Remember to remind me to go to the dinner party and remind me to chat with Tang Yan after seeing Tang Yan."

   "Do I need to prepare in advance for what to talk about?"

"…Being not."

"OK."

  After silently remembering Sister Mi's explanation in her heart, Yang Mi picked up the phone again and called Xu Xin.

   It's not yet 2:30, before my brother is busy with work.

  …

"Jingle Bell…"

  Xu Xin, who was taking a nap, was woken up, and just wanted to see which **** called at such an evil time, when he saw the note of the caller "young woman from the capital", he sighed speechlessly.

   Xujiawan Chicken, Duck and Goose remarks are past tense.

   This young woman in the capital city was changed by this sister herself.

   I don't know what flavor it is.

   After connecting the phone, he said angrily:

   "What are you doing? Do you know what time it is? Do you bother the leader's work like this?"

   "...There are still 10 days left, we will meet in Xiangjiang. I will give you a chance to change the tone of your speech... Otherwise... hum, you will be at your own risk."

  Xu Xin sneered:

   "Cut, what's the matter? You can still wash your feet to smell delicious, dye your nails red, and then put on brand new glossy stockings and step on my face?"

   "..."

  Yang Mi's mouth twitched:

   "The oily stockings are so ugly! Can fishnet stockings work?"

   "... let's make do, barely acceptable."

   "How about the small mesh, fringed lace, and white color?"

   "Hiss~~~"

  Hearing her brother's gasping reaction, the young woman smiled openly:

   "That's it. Do you want a suspender?"

   "The suspenders are a bit tacky."

   "It will shrink down by itself without the sling."

   “Isn’t that good? Going from over the knee socks to calf socks and ending up with one of those…socks all squeezed together, those Spice Girl style socks…Trinity, triple joy.”

   "噫~"

  Yang Mi was full of disgust:

   "GAL Shibuya Hot Girl is so ugly, I don't want it."

  When Sun Ting heard this, she muttered silently to the side:

   "Can you two talk about business? My boyfriend and I learned from your old man. I... I have learned badly!"

  As if hearing her words, Yang Mi said:

   "Let me tell you something. Shishi has just been stopped by the Tang people, and even Li Minnian has been demoted."

"ah?"

   Xu Xin, who just lit a cigarette and planned to wake up, frowned:

   "What do you mean? I just called her an hour ago... just happened? Why? Why?"

   "The reason is... Yu Zheng voted the script of "Gong Suo Xin Jade" to Tangren."

   "...???"

  Yang Mi could feel the absurdity from her lover through the phone.

  So he laughed and said:

   "Hey hey, isn't he timid?"

"…Ah."

   There was a chuckle from Xu Xin:

   "Isn't it. It's really big. It's really eye drops for me."

"how do you want to do it?"

   "You have to let him know it hurts."

   As he spoke, Xu Xin asked suspiciously:

   "What happened to Shishi?"

"Lao Cai wants her to act... Didn't she know that the script was plagiarized from "Scary Step by Step" a few days ago? Today Lao Cai asked her to act, but she directly refused. Lao Cai took pictures of the table, and she He turned his head and left. Hmm... After all, it was my Shishi, super brave~ and then it became like this."

  Lao Cai...

  Hearing this nickname, the corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched, and he began to analyze the matter in his mind.

   After a moment, he asked:

"Do you have any idea?"

   "I want to clean up together with Yu Zheng and Tang Ren."

   "..."

   This ridiculous remark instantly made Xu Xin feel that she was joking.

   It's not that the other party is so great, but that he is thinking about a fundamental problem.

   "Then what do you ask Shishi to do?"

   "Come to our place."

   "..."

  Xu Xin said that he knew that you **** had no good intentions.

  He is not surprised that his wife wants to bring his friend over, because from all aspects, Shishi is already a very close person around him and his wife.

   At the same time, she has already proved her character through this script.

   Instead of letting your good friends stay in a company that "blocks you if you don't obey", and doesn't see any big names, it's better to come to yourself.

  Although nothing can be seen now...but with the current strength of the two of them, every year, they will make a big step forward in terms of resources.

   Otherwise, if the resources are really tight, the little young woman will not want to continue to expand enrollment.

   It can be seen with the naked eye that next year, the year after, and the year after... the resources in one year will be wider than in one year, and the current company's three melons and two dates are definitely not enough.

   It’s okay if you come.

but…

   "How do you plan to deal with the Tang people?"

   "You have to do me a favor."

   "...Hello? Hello?"

   "Can't hear you?"

   "I can hear you clearly, that is... are you Yang Mi?"

   "...Brother, who do you think you are calling?"

   "Are you Yang Mi?"

"…yes."

   "What's the relationship between us?"

   "Husband and wife."

   "You talk to your husband and say: I want to ask you a favor?"

  Yang Mi on the other end of the phone rolled her eyes:

   "I said you have to help me, but I didn't say please."

   "Tsk."

  Xu Xin smashed his mouth.

  These words sound harsh enough.

   "Tell me, how can I help?"

"Shishi is now short of two works, and she has met the contract conditions of the ten-film contract when Tang Ren signed the contract. If she meets this rigid condition, then if she wants to leave Tang Ren, it is nothing more than a termination fee for the number of years. But if this condition is not Satisfied, then she wants to leave, this lawsuit...it's really hard to say. I'm afraid that the court will rule that she must meet this condition to terminate the contract, and it will be really troublesome if the contract period is counted. "

   "Two parts, right? Are there any specific requirements?... No, isn't she terminated her activities now?"

"That's why I told you to find other people. People from Tianyu may not be able to help, but people from Shanghai Film Studio and West Film Studio can. Besides, there are no two films. Let her participate in the film again. Just play one."

  Yang Mi's words were a little convoluted, and Xu Xin couldn't react:

   "One is enough? What about the other one? How do you make it up... No. Doesn't she have a copy of "Weird Man and One Flower"?"

   "...that's called "Iljimae"!"

   "What is love. What happened to this work?"

"It was terminated, and it was replaced by Tang Yan. According to Li Minnian, the Tang people increased their salary by 10% and let Tang Yan act. The show will start on the tenth day, and it will only be a few days. And I plan to Play a trick, and you have to cooperate with me."

"How to say?"

   "I want to report "Scary Step by Step" to the people of Tang Dynasty."

   "... and "Gong Suo Xin Jade"?"

   Xu Xin, who didn't know what "Scary Step by Step" meant to the people of Tang Dynasty, and who hadn't thought about why his wife bought this novel from the beginning to the end, asked subconsciously.

   And Yang Mi didn't mention it.

  After all... If I let my brother know that I have been wronged by the Tang people, maybe I will choose a more direct way.

   Not necessary.

  Since she chose Dragon Quest "alone" at the beginning, she has to go to the end.

  She didn't feel how stupid she was, on the contrary, she had a feeling of never getting tired of it.

  The feeling of watching Tang Ren walk into the trap he set step by step...or, in other words, the sense of accomplishment of personally dismantling a well-known TV drama production company...

  She regards these as a kind of training, or a pass.

   Otherwise, life would be too boring without these battles of wits and courage.

   What's more... Is there anything more suitable to show your wrists to everyone than to take the Tang people under the knife?

   Then she said:

   "Well. That's my plan... You didn't say that Xue Haifeng was going to use "Beauty's Scheming" before, did you choose enough to stop?"

"right."

   "Then Yuzheng doesn't want to repent now, and uses this script to bypass Tianyu to find Tang Ren... This is eye drops for Qian Pengcheng, Xue Haifeng and you, right?"

"Yes."

   Having received confirmation from her brother, Yang Mi said directly:

   "You can open this knife. It doesn't matter if it's Modu or Tianyu. How much trouble is there, how much trouble is it for Yu Zheng."

   "Forcing him to come to me to admit his mistake?"

  Xu Xin, who had already fully understood what his wife was going to do, couldn't help being happy:

"Okay, let's do this, right? Yu Zheng asked me to admit his mistake, and asked him to take "Gong Suo Xin Jade" away from the Tang people. Then he sent "Scary Step by Step" named poems Play? Is that what you mean?"

   "Hey hey~"

  Yang Mi also had fun:

   "That's right. Believe me, after watching "Scary Step by Step", they will definitely not want to touch "Gong Suo Xin Jade"."

   "Then how are you sure Tang Ren will definitely pick it up?"

"Well…"

  Yang Mi thought for a while and said:

"Let's take a gamble. Anyway, I think it will work. They...should really like "Scary Step by Step", which is a higher level than idol dramas, and is more suitable for being the No. 1 time-travel drama. Besides, apart from Tang Yan, who has not yet joined Tang Ren, there is no female artist who can hold this kind of time-travel drama with idol themes!"

   Before she finished speaking, she added another sentence in her heart:

   "Because this book is what they want, I just put in a small condition of "returning it to its original owner"."

   Xu Xin, who understood what his wife meant, thought for a while and said:

   "Then counting "Scary Step by Step", only one movie is short of meeting the contract conditions... Do you want me to come?"

   "Yes, let's see how to make Shishi play one more play."

   "It doesn't need to be so troublesome."

  Checked the time and found that it was not half past two, Xu Xin said:

   "Did Tang Yan agree to act in "Weird Man and One Flower"?"

   "It's Iljimae, brother!"

   "Love what. Did she agree?"

   "Probably not yet, the incident happened in less than an hour, not so fast."

   "That's okay, isn't "Yizhimei" opened in a dozen days, right? You can talk to Li Minnian and tell him that Tang Yan can't act in this movie."

   "..."

  Yang Mi was taken aback for a moment:

   "You... looking for Tang Yan?"

   "I didn't want to look for it, and I don't need to look for it. It's just a phone call, and I just happened to deal with the matter of Yu Zheng. Then..."

   Speaking of this, he thought for a while and said:

"I'll ask Tang Yan to delay the time. Since the filming of the show will start on the tenth day, it means that the filming of the show, whether it's the rent, service, the crew, the director team...even the remuneration of other audition actors, etc. have already started. Go out, the contract has been signed. If Tang Yan doesn’t act, Tang Ren’s several million advance payment may be included in it. So, in the end, Shi Shi will have to perform.”

  Yang Mi's eyes lit up over there:

   "Yes, yes, why didn't I expect... Is Tang Yan really sure?"

   "Ha~"

  Xu Xin chuckled:

   "Don't worry, leave it to me. If you want to play with them, go and play. I'll be your backing, and you can do whatever you want. It's just a TV drama company."

  He gave a guarantee that he was full of pampering, just like a prince in a beacon show.

  Just a Tang person.

  He ignored it.

  Since my wife wants to try her hand at it... let's play.

  The sky is as big as the earth, not as big as my little young wife’s happiness.

   Do whatever you want, don’t be afraid.

"Hey hey hey...Brother is the best! MUA~ Oh yes, since you are so sure, don't tell her the reason. On the 15th Academy Awards, her crew of "Fengyun 2" is also there, and I will take it when the time comes For this reason, go and say hello to her."

   "Ha~ That's fine, let's just say that."

   "Yeah, good! Then I'll wait for your good news~"

   "OK, I'm hung up."

   After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin threw it on the bed and walked into the bathroom.

   After washing his face, he washed away all the tiredness from his afternoon nap with cold water, and saw that it was past two o'clock, so he dialed Xue Haifeng's phone.

   Originally, everyone agreed not to make an appointment this time.

   "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" has an investment of 5 million from Honglin Capital.

   It was allocated from Xu Xin's share.

  After the movie started, Xue Haifeng also knew that Xu Xin would be busy for a while.

  In addition to the fact that the atmosphere of the World Expo is getting stronger and stronger in Shanghai, he dare not be vague about such a big event.

  So I just said that if I want to drink, I will come out to get together. If I don’t drink, then I will go to work first.

   And Xue Haifeng got connected very quickly.

  The first sentence is:

   "Hahaha~ Director Xu is gluttonous, right? Let's find a place to have a drink tonight?"

   "Boss Xue, I'm sure I won't be able to drink it, but I have something else to tell you."

"oh?"

  Xue Haifeng was a little surprised:

   "What's wrong? What instruction does Director Xu have?"

   "Haha~ Don't, how dare you give any instructions... But Mr. Xue, some people didn't appreciate our kindness last time."

   "..."

  Be kind and soft...?

  Xue Haifeng changed his mind, and immediately understood who Xu Xin was talking about.

   His tone suddenly became gloomy.

   "It's the screenwriter, right?"

"Um."

  Xu Xin responded:

   "After leaving Tianyu, he found Tangren again with the script."

"…Ah."

  Laughter suddenly came from Xue Haifeng.

   Now, I am really angry.

   In fact, the reason for his anger is very simple.

  This is the same as…

how to say.

  It is the same as the division of villages.

  The matter of Yu Zheng happened in "Hu Village".

  He came to Hucun to sell seeds. Hucun didn't know the situation at first, but he saw that his seeds were good and wanted to buy them. But I didn't have enough "manpower" and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to grow the land, so I found "Shangying Village" with which I had a good relationship.

  I hope Shangying Village can help me find some elite soldiers to plant these seeds in the future.

  The relationship between Shangying Village and Hu Village is fine. After agreeing, they immediately found two seed planting experts.

  As a result, experts saw that something was wrong.

   This seed seems to have been stolen from two experts.

  So, the two experts told the people in Shangying Village about it.

  When the people of Shangying Village heard about it, they hurriedly told Hu Village.

   Moreover, because he is a middleman, he is actually the most embarrassing.

  Because he introduced the relationship between Hucun and experts.

  The expert was recommended to Hucun by him.

   is also the expert he helped Hucun contact.

   Being caught in the middle, his discomfort is the highest.

   Then, he started to deal with it.

   Finally came a satisfactory result.

   Experts are generous, don't care about it.

  Hu Village has also gained face, and the people are also at ease.

   All are happy.

  However, after the person who sold the seeds was kicked out of Hu Village, not only did he not reform himself, he even took the seeds to sell in other villages.

  Although I don’t know whether to say that Hu Village and Shangying Village are not good.

   But this behavior itself is giving the two villages eye drops.

  If you are not governed, where will the face of Houhu Village and Shangying Village go?

  Let everyone know that Hu Village and Shangying Village can live well even if offended... Then who cares about the two villages?

  How can you still hang out in this three-acre land in the future?

  Let’s not mention Hucun, you are really bullying Shangyingcun, right?

  So, without even asking the reason, Xue Haifeng said directly:

   "Okay, Director Xu, let me handle this matter."

   And this time Xu Xin didn't stop him either.

  Because the essence of this matter has changed from the copyright plagiarism of "Scary Step by Step" to someone who despises Shanghai Film and Tianyu.

   Don’t teach me a lesson, no.

   Then he said:

   "Well, but there is no need to make too much noise. Give some lessons and know that when you turn around, everyone will look good. If you come with a lot of fanfare, it will be purely a cannonball attacking mosquitoes. It's not a big deal, Mr. Xue said."

   Now that things are up to now, Xue Haifeng feels relieved when he sees that Director Xu is still saving face for himself, only dealing with things and not dealing with people, let alone sitting together...

   "Haha, Director Xu is still generous."

   "Ha~"

  Xu Xin chuckled again:

   "By the way, Mr. Xue, there is one more thing to trouble you."

   "If there is any trouble or no trouble, Director Xu just said it."

"Well...it's like this. There is an actor named Tang Yan. Tang wants her to put out a firefighting drama...I think it's better if she doesn't accept it. Because the firefighting drama she used was originally my friend's. But now I should have just sent the message to her, if possible... don't let her answer this scene, but the reply can be delayed for a few days..."

   "Tang Yan?...Oh, I remembered. That little actor from Orange Sky, right? He seemed to be here at the last party?"

"right."

   "No problem. I'll ask someone to tell her. Don't worry, she will fully cooperate with Director Xu in this matter."

   "Haha, that's fine. Just ask her not to pick up the phone, but I don't need to say the specific reason."

   "Okay, then I'll let them do it."

   "Then thank you Mr. Xue..."

   "Hey, where did it go..."

  The two exchanged pleasantries for a while before Xue Haifeng hung up the phone.

   Then his face darkened.

  Obviously, being eyedropped doesn't feel good.

  But he didn't forget about Tang Yan, and said to the driver:

   "Let the person who organized the actors to visit Director Xu in the Golf Manor last time call Tang Yan and tell her that all the plays about the Tangren Film and Television Company have been rejected. Just say I said it."

   "Okay, Director Xue."

  The driver nodded and wrote down the leader's instructions.

   Xue Haifeng thought while holding the phone.

  Tang Yan's matter was just a trivial matter that couldn't be any smaller.

  It's just an actress from the Shanghai circle.

  Tell her to run, so she dares to run.

   If she is not allowed to move, she will never dare to move.

   As for the proof...

"Ah."

  He sneered and called Qian Pengcheng:

   "Hey, old Qian, Director Xu just told me something..."
