I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Modu, inside Ji Rujing's personal studio.

  At this moment, Ji Rujing, Tang Yan, and some managers who are in charge of handling artists under Ji Rujing's banner are sitting around the desk in the small conference room, discussing with two documents in each hand.

  The content of the meeting is very simple.

  Even this meeting was prepared hastily.

  Because as early as an hour ago, Ji Rujing received a call from Tang Ren.

   After hanging up, she called back Tang Yan who was exercising. After everyone arrived, this impromptu meeting was held.

  And the two documents that everyone has on hand, one is called "The Three Thousand Golds of the Xia Family".

  The other copy is called "Weird Hero Yizhimei".

"I think the market feedback of "Weird Hero Yizhimei" must be stronger than that of "Xiajia Sanqianjin". First of all, it is the cast. , Zixuan's on-screen couple image is the beauty in the hearts of countless people.

   Moreover, although "Weird Man" is a temporary change of roles, we can just take this opportunity to increase the salary. This is not the lion's big mouth, but the price Tang people must pay. We can use the script of "Three Daughters of Gold in the Xia Family" to tell people in Tang Dynasty that we sell Cai Yinong as a favor.

  The popularity of "Sword and Sword III" has not yet been exhausted. Compared with this drama, although Tang Yan is an absolute celebrity in "The Three Thousand Golds of the Xia Family", you can tell by looking at the lineup. Xi Wei is just a singer who debuted in "My Type My Show". Qiu Ze has been tepid for so many years, including other people, he is basically a grassroots team.

  And, most importantly, the director of "Strange Man Yizhimei" is still Li Guoli. Li Guoli has basically made no mistakes in the TV drama market, plus our relationship with Tangren...including the subsequent series of contracts after the arrival...

   and Tangren's status and fan base in the TV drama market. To sum up, I think that this "Strange Hero Yizhimei" must be better than this "Xia Family Three Thousand Gold". I'm inclined to take this script. "

  Hearing the words of his subordinates, Ji Rujing didn't speak, waiting for other people's opinions.

   Tang Yan sat next to her, looking down at the script of "Weird Hero Yizhimei".

  She already got the script of "The Three Thousand Golds of the Xia Family" at the beginning of the year. The heroine is the leading role alone... She originally attached great importance to this play.

  But now the Tang people suddenly sent the script of "Weird Hero Yizhimei"...

   In fact, she also tends to this in her heart.

  And, just now, she learned about the script from Ji Rujing.

  Liu Zhishi... For some unknown reason, all activities were terminated by the Tang people.

   Snow storage.

  The specific reason is not clear, but according to Ji Rujing, she got the news that Mr. Cai was very angry.

   She sees this as an opportunity.

  A chance to get rid of Liu Zhishi.

  Although... Before this, everyone has already talked about some things. For example, she switched to Tang Ren after Orange Sky ended her contract. But there is always a Liu Zhishi among Tang people, and before his contract ends, most of Tang people's resources must be concentrated on Liu Zhishi.

   This is obvious.

  But now it is different.

  Although I don't know what happened, but... the word "Xue Zang" is not used casually.

  That represents the complete cessation of an artist's performance within a company.

  If it can be used casually, and can be canceled casually, then the "Xue Zang" as a means of shocking people's hearts will become a joke.

  So, just before the meeting started, Ji Rujing told himself that this snow storage would last at least half a year, or more than half a year.

  There are too many things that can be obtained from Tang Ren.

   And everyone is right.

  How does a script from an unknown TV company compare to Tangren?

   are also heroines.

   How to compare?

  So, in her heart, she also tends to "Strange Hero Yizhimei".

   And now that she is looking down at the script, she is actually thinking about how to face Liu Zhishi in the future.

  The relationship between everyone...you can say they are friends.

   But definitely not that familiar...not right. It should be said that she has a good relationship with Hu Jia, but her sense of Liu Zhishi has become a competitor since Tang Ren wanted to let her join.

  There are only so many resources, eating for one person and eating for two are completely different concepts.

  The words of poetry...

  Recalling that the other party has always been indifferent to the world, whether it is from Hu Jian's mouth or from his own contact.

  Actually, it seemed funny to her.

Indisputable? Do not grab?

  Then why are you in the entertainment industry?

  What kind of actor should you be?

   Why not go home and raise pigs.

   This circle is a circle where the weak survive and the fittest survive. You don’t fight or grab... Now that the attitude is shown, don’t blame me for taking the initiative.

   You "don't" anyway, right?

   Then I will eat it.

  After making up her mind, she raised her head, and amidst the debate among the crowd on whether it was better to be "Strange Man" or "The Thousand Gold", she spoke directly to Ji Rujing:

   "I want to play "Weird Man"..."

   "Buzz buzz..."

  Before she finished speaking, suddenly, her mobile phone on the table rang.

  Her instinctive gaze landed on the screen and took a look.

   If it is an unimportant call, she will definitely not answer it. After all, this is a meeting.

  But when she saw the name of "Director Xia" on the phone, she immediately stopped talking.

  This call must be answered.

  Because, this director Xia is the starting point of all the resources in the Shanghai circle that her godfather personally introduced to her.

  Even if you are a godfather, you have to listen to him.

  The Hong Kong circle is already in decline, this is an indisputable fact. All directors who are capable want to keep the mainland's thighs, and directors who are not capable will continue to stay in the pond of the increasingly closed small film market in the Hong Kong circle.

   And this director Xia is the relationship cultivated by his godfather.

  The other party is the director of the commercial department of Shanghai Film Studio Investment and Distribution Company, who is responsible for external scripts, directors and Shanghai Film Studio's investment and cooperation negotiations.

  This leg is very thick, if you hug it, you will definitely not say that there is no filming in the movie circle, or that you can't get in.

   What's more, his ability is not limited to Shanghai Film Studio.

   There are several private investment companies under the Shanghai Film Studio.

   On the surface, it doesn’t matter, but in fact these companies are also managed by Shanghai Film Studio.

   It is most appropriate to describe it in one sentence: the third grade of Beijing Official University.

That's what I mean.

  So, she can ignore or not answer other people's calls.

   But this phone call, she will answer it unconditionally.

  So, in order to prevent Director Xia from waiting too long, she stopped communicating with Ji Rujing, grabbed the phone, got up and ran out.

  Running to the door to open the door, he connected the phone directly, and said respectfully:

   "Hello, Director Xia."

   "Well, Tang Yan, where are you?"

  Hearing this, Tang Yan hurriedly said:

   "I'm in Shanghai. Director Xia, if you need anything, you can tell me."

"Um."

   Director Xia responded and asked:

   "Have you been in contact with Tang Ren recently?"

"…ah?"

   Tang Yan was stunned.

   Some didn't respond.

  This...what's the situation?

   Since when did Director Xia care about the TV drama market?

   Director Xia, on the other hand, had no intention of continuing to explore, and said straightforwardly:

   "I made this call just to talk to you. The leader doesn't like the Tang people very much. If they want to shoot a movie with you, just push it if you can."

"…ah???"

   Tang Yan was even more confused.

   Director Xia stopped talking:

   "That's all it takes to find you. That's fine, I'll hang up... Oh yes, it will be a few days later when you reject Tang Ren, and you can weigh it yourself."

   Beep.

  What are the specific reasons, and the pros and cons are not mentioned at all.

   That was Tang Yan's own problem.

  He just conveyed the leadership's instructions.

  As for the right to choose... Tang Yan also reserved it.

  One acted, the other did not act.

  The consequences of the two choices are at your own risk.

  An actor only.

Then…

  Tang Yan held the phone and stood in the corridor outside the meeting room, but it took a long time to realize what was going on.

  What...what are you doing?

  Why did it suddenly happen?

   Tang Ren offended... which leader?

  Her brows frowned all of a sudden.

   Can't figure it out.

But…

   She seemed to think of something, quickly picked up the phone, and dialed another number.

   A moment:

   "Hey, godfather, are you busy now?..."

  …

   About five minutes later, when everyone was already discussing the contract to ask Tang Ren how much to quote, Tang Yan walked in with a frown.

  After hearing what everyone said, he said to Ji Rujing:

   "Let me think about this matter, Sister Ji, I have something to tell you. Whether to choose "Weird Man" or "Three Daughters of the Xia Family"... We will wait two days to discuss."

   "...?"

  Ji Rujing was taken aback.

  Others were also taken aback.

  They could all see that Tang Yan must have encountered something.

  But...it's not convenient to talk to other people.

  So, Ji Ru nodded:

   "Okay, let's end the meeting first. Let's go to the office to talk."

"Um…"

   Tang Yan nodded, and went all the way to the office with Ji Rujing, the first sentence after closing the door was:

   "In the future...we won't be able to get so close to the Tang people."

   "..."

  Ji Rujing's mouth twitched.

   As one of the retreats after leaving Orange Sky, Ji Rujing has always responded very positively to Tang Ren. But now after hearing this, she was speechless at first, but immediately asked:

   "What happened? Is it because of Director Xia's call?"

"Um."

   Tang Yan nodded:

   "There is a leader at Shanghai Film Group who doesn't like me getting too close to Tang Ren... very dissatisfied."

   "..."

   Now, Ji Rujing's face became serious.

   If there is one thing Tangren dissatisfies her the most, it is the lack of movie resources.

  They... seem to just want to live in that TV drama circle and not come out.

  Obviously holding the card of Hu Jian, but the lack of film resources is a mess.

  So, she and Tang Yan's plan is to join Tang Ren after the contract with Orange Sky ends, but some things must be specified in the contract.

  For example, Tang Ren can only take a small part of the dividends of movies.

   Unless it is a movie launched by Tang Ren himself.

   Another example is how to ensure the independence of Tang Yan's film resources, so that no other artists in Tangren Company will come to compete for it.

  You want Tang Yan to support your TV drama market, OK, no problem.

  But the film resources are made by ourselves, so this must be clearly scored.

  And if the Tang people can start to enter the film market, then compared with people like Liu Zhishi, Tang Yan will have an incomparable advantage one step ahead.

  And if the Tang people are still content with the status quo, then Tang Yan will eat their TV drama resources, and the movie resources will move forward little by little.

  The shortcomings in TV dramas let the Tang people come.

   In this way, no matter how you walk, your legs will not be lame.

   There is simply no way to lose.

   But now...

  She hurriedly asked:

   "Which leader is it? Director Xia himself?"

"No."

   Tang Yan shook her head:

   "It's the person Director Xia wants to call the leader. He doesn't like me getting so close to Ren Tang. But who is it, godfather said to help me find out."

  Wang Yi helped to find out...

  Ji Rujing breathed a sigh of relief.

but…

   "Have you called Director Wang?"

"Um."

   "How do you say that?"

"The godfather's meaning is very simple. He gave a very realistic example: If I don't sleep with others, can I go to the Beijing circle? If I can get in, I can ignore the Shanghai circle. But if I don't want to sleep with others, rely on my body Exchange some resources, be someone else's servant girl everywhere, be a grandson...

  The only thing my godfather can guarantee me is that I can compete with others for the resources in the upper circle without a doubt. But if I give up the resources in the Shanghai circle, then in terms of movies in the future, apart from continuing to go to Xiangjiang to film godfather movies, other things... may not work out. "

   In Ji Rujing's view, this was simply unacceptable.

  She and Tang Yan have made so much effort, isn't it just to let Tang Yan not have to go to the one-acre three-point land in Xiangjiang, which is too small compared with the mainland market, and walk out of a wider world?

   Acting in TV series, most of them are well-known stars.

  But movies are the highest hall of actors.

  Even if I say "Why don't we act in TV dramas in the future"...

  Will Tang Yan agree?

   Isn't she stimulated enough by Yang Mi?

   Or... this group of actors who debuted similarly to Yang Mi, which one is not jealous when they see Yang Mi's achievements?

  Actors who can act in movies, who will act in TV dramas?

   Even talk about a more realistic topic.

  Actors who have acted in movies and made achievements in movies come back to play TV dramas, and the pay is different from actors who can only act in TV dramas.

  Although it's a bit exaggerated, it's at least 50%... or even double or double the difference!

  Who has trouble with money?

  Thinking of this, she also understood her attitude from Tang Yan's choice.

   Obviously, she is more than just a TV actress.

   Then:

   "Then let's act in "The Three Thousand Golds of the Xia Family". On Tang Ren's side, I will use the reason that I have already signed the contract. I will contact the Syndicate Company in the afternoon."

   "Yes, but the reply to Tang Ren will be a few days late."

"…Why?"

   "I don't know either. But Director Xia said so..."

"...Okay, I get it. Leave this matter to me, and you don't need to worry about it. Just prepare the script of "The Three Thousand Golds of the Xia Family". This is your first time to take the lead, so you have to be fully prepared !"

"Um."

   Tang Yan responded, sitting on Ji Rujing's sofa and letting out a long sigh of relief.

  …

  Roosevelt Cellars.

  Li Minnian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the box, looking at the scenery of the Bund, and said with emotion:

   "I don't know how much the annual membership fee for this place is."

  Liu Zhishi didn't say a word.

   Instead, he yawned lazily:

   "Ha~~~~Hmm."

wake up.

   My mood has also improved.

   I just don't want to move.

  I feel so tired.

  As for what happened at noon, the so-called "Xue Zang", she actually didn't take it seriously.

  Since she gained some popularity by acting in "Sword and Sword III", the company has been arranging various roles for her.

  She didn't have a good rest.

  Although acting classes are always on, the more she takes, the more boring she feels.

  The teacher hired by the company is not a well-known actor.

   It's just that the qualifications are relatively old.

  If you really have the ability, you don’t need to be an acting teacher... Wouldn’t it be good to act by yourself?

   What's more, there is Mimi beside her.

Although Mimi is very careful to maintain her self-esteem, she never shows off her acting skills or how good her acting skills are... But from the details that are inadvertently revealed, she can intuitively feel the relationship between her and Mimi gap.

  She... was in a hurry.

   Not to mention catching up, but at least not wanting to fall behind.

   And now that I'm free, it's pretty good.

  She had already thought about it when she was sleeping in the afternoon...or rather, she made a rough plan for herself.

  First, she wanted to ask Xu Xin to get a library card for Beiying Library.

  No way, she is really a little confused about Beiying's textbooks.

  When I searched on the Internet, I always found "acting skills included in the textbooks of Beijing Film Academy".

  I feel that the threshold of Beiying is particularly low, especially LOW.

  However...Mimi and Xu Xin are both from Beijing Film Academy. My intuition tells me that the strength of Beijing Film Academy is definitely not the kind of video that can be included in the teaching materials for both cats and dogs.

   It's the details in the library.

  She wants to study systematically, and even audit the course.

  Secondly, she plans to learn from Mimi and apply for a national drama troupe such as Renyi.

  Maybe she may not be admitted...but it’s not just human arts, there are other theater groups and so on. She wants to act in a play.

  Mimi said that the difficulty of drama is that you have to perform it live for the audience. The acting skills are not good, and the audience cannot be rendered by your acting skills, so good and bad will be reflected on the scene very intuitively.

  You can do it, you can do it.

   Full house.

   If it doesn’t work, it won’t work, whoever is embarrassed will know.

   It's very challenging.

  The second is the systematic training of lines, typhoons, and shapes.

  Don't mention anything else, just a line.

  Your voice is weak, the voice is loose, and the audience is tired of listening, or they can't hear clearly at all, it proves that you can't do it.

  So practice.

   First focus the sound.

  Then drama is the same as folk art. Some plays are very particular about using lines to affect the emotions of the audience...

   In other words, it is the most important part of mixing lines into acting skills and honing them over and over again.

  For actors who have experienced drama, lines, acting skills, body and emotion are all indispensable.

   If one link is poor, then the acting skills are not a whole.

   And the most basic entry for an actor is not to require all of these to be combined into one?

  So, she wants to act in a play.

   Snow storage, let’s snow storage.

   Fit was bought by my dad.

  The house dad also bought it.

  Even if I am an actor, my father will still give me 10,000 to 20,000 pocket money every month.

  The lucky money for Chinese New Year is also given a lot...

   I have money for acting myself... quite a lot of money.

  Busy studying, busy honing acting skills. When you are free, you can find honey to drink, you can go camping and outing...

  Suddenly, she blushed.

  Recalling the last time I camped with Yang Mi, Chai Nuan couldn’t supply electricity in the second half of the winter night, and the two of them huddled together under the quilt after there was no heating. She spat unconsciously:

   "Bah!"

  Female hooligan!

  I'm still a big girl with yellow flowers!

   But anyway.

   She felt very happy to be hidden in the snow.

   A wave of extremely relaxed emotions made her clutch her stomach without any loss.

Well…

  Why isn't Xu Xin here yet?

I am so hungry.

   Have a delicious meal with him today, and then go home and sleep under the covers~~~

  Ah hey!

happy.

  At dusk, the young girl who had been quiet for years did not fight or snatch, but against the backdrop of the setting sun, she showed a gentle smile that didn't fight or snatch.

  In the old year of Renyin, I dare not make big ambitions, but I hope that all the troubles and sorrows of the old year will stop here.
