I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 452: 450. The Rain Is Coming (3/1)

   Chapter 452 450. The rain is coming (31)

  Xu Xin stayed in Shanghai for another two days. After finishing his work the next afternoon, he returned to Yuan'an overnight.

   Teacher Yu is here.

  As a postgraduate tutor, she certainly wouldn't throw these students into the crew and ignore them.

  Before there were some things at school that I couldn’t get away from. No, I came here after I was done with work.

   Yu Zhen may not be familiar with other people in the crew, but Xu Xin and the old man are all acquaintances and "colleagues", so naturally they don't have such a special relationship.

  The director came back, and the crew resumed work normally.

   Everything continued to shoot in an orderly manner.

  In the early morning, the crew prepared to show Jingqiu's rural life.

  In the play, it is about her visiting some villagers, listening to the heroic deeds of the hawthorn tree, and then returning to write textbooks. Then the third child walked into the room to talk to her, and found that Jingqiu's hands were covered with leaking ink from the pen, so he gave her a paragraph of a new pen.

  Because of the flowering period, the crew had to wait about half a month for a large number of exterior and distant scenes to be in full bloom, and concentrated shooting in May.

  So the play in Qinglong Village will take about half a month to end.

  As the interns of the crew, Guo Fan and the others definitely don't have the same treatment as the director.

The director can get up at seven or eight o'clock, and slowly start shooting here at around nine o'clock, but as interns, they have to follow Fu Huadao and art designers, and set off from Yuan'an at five o'clock. More points here to start preparations.

Very hard.

   But you can learn something.

   What's more, Teacher Yu will also be here today. In order to get a good resume recommendation letter after graduation, they dare not be sloppy.

   It was nearly nine o'clock.

  The business vehicle came to Qinglong Village.

  After parking outside the village, Xu Xin got out of the car first, turned around and helped Mr. Yu, who was wearing an outdoor suit and looked like an outing.

  After Yu Zhen got off the car, she naturally began to look around her surroundings.

  From the mountain, to the water, to the bridge, and finally to the houses with smoke rising from every household and the undulating fields in the mountainous area.

   After looking around, he nodded slightly:

   "Not to mention, the imagery that belongs to the era is still very strong."

   "Well. Let's go, I'll show you inside."

  The two of them started to walk into the village.

   "Teacher Yu."

   "Ah~ Teacher Yu, you are here."

   "Hello, Teacher Yu."

  Wen Muye and the others quickly greeted Yu Zhen when they saw Yu Zhen, but Yu Zhen didn't ask any more questions, and continued to circle around with Xu Xin after responding.

  After watching all the filming scenes of the crew, the two finally stood on the half **** outside Captain Zhang’s house in the play, and Yu Zhen said:

"The details are well controlled, Xu Xin. Not only the house and yard, but even details such as window screens and door curtains have been considered. And I didn't see any drastic demolition of houses and courtyards... Although for you It’s nothing to say, but I still want to praise you, you did a good job.”

"hey-hey."

  Xu Xin looks a little proud, holding a cigarette in his mouth, with a look of "proud pinching his waist.JPG":

   "That's it. You don't see whose student I am. With our teacher Yu here, a famous teacher produces a high-level apprentice, so can I be inferior?"

   “…poor mouth.”

   Yu Zhen couldn't laugh or cry.

   But.

  Student flattering the teacher is not considered kissing.

   She was indeed happy in her heart.

  At this time, she saw the crew walking into Captain Zhang’s house with the equipment to be filmed on a cart or on a cart, and there was her student named Guo Fan in the team, and she asked:

   "How are they doing? What do you think?"

  "Old Guo is more conscientious and down-to-earth. Wen Muye is smart and flexible, but sometimes his temper is too impetuous. One is slow and the other is fast. The slow one is a little slow to respond to the surrounding things, but you can rest assured if you entrust him with the work.

  Fast ones can draw inferences about other cases from one instance, and are good at optimizing things, but they are often not detailed enough. Among these brothers and sisters, these two are the best, without a doubt. But others...maybe they haven't gotten into it yet, it feels so-so. "

  Hearing this, Yu Zhen nodded and knew what she was talking about.

   But I heard another sentence from my student:

   "When the movie is released, I will give them the position of executive director. Just a few of them, listed separately, at the bottom of the director's area."

   "!"

   Now, Yu Zhen was really surprised.

  Executive director refers to the sub-director who is in charge of on-site shooting in the film crew or under the name of the director.

   To put it bluntly, it is the executor of the order.

  This position is usually more common in crews with two or more directors. The two directors do the overall planning, and the executive directors each lead the order to complete.

   Having an executive director on a one-director crew...is not normal.

  But if there is, no one will find fault.

  But for some practitioners who are not yet famous and still need resumes, the title of executive director is not small.

  It means that you at least have the ability to independently complete the director's orders.

  Not to mention anything else, even if you can't be a director, but you have the experience of being an executive director, and after a few years in the crew, you are already qualified to be an assistant director.

   Of course, this is also a movie that needs to be watched.

  Being an executive director in "Hero" is definitely more powerful than being an executive director in an unknown "Bear" movie.

   And "The Hawthorn Tree" is such a movie.

   Its producer is Zhang Yimou.

  The director is Xu Xin.

   Just focus on these two names... As the saying goes, one person can ascend to heaven.

  The weight of executive director suddenly increased.

  Some careful movie fans can actually find that compared with other ordinary movies, the front and back staff lists are all to reflect the difference between the production company and post-production company.

  In Zhang Yimou's movie staff list, the names are always the most.

  You can see a large number of names, some in front of the stage, some behind the scenes, and even the names and positions of chefs, box lunches, drivers, etc. So much so that sometimes it gives people the illusion that there are more staff in this movie than actors.

   But in fact, this is the ability of great directors.

   Some companies even lose a little money, but they want to label themselves as great directors.

  Every name that can appear in Zhang Yimou's movie is equivalent to a golden resume. Using this resume to find a job is no different from getting an imperial decree.

  It can easily make you a lot ahead of people at the same level and at the same level.

  Even if your abilities are similar to others.

   And the position of "Executive Director" given by Xu Xin is a golden medal to elevate the status of these people in all aspects.

   Even if they haven't graduated yet, they have already started much higher than others.

   After all, how could a person who can be an executive director under Zhang Yimou and Xu Xin be an idiot?

  So, Yu Zhen sighed:

   "What if it backfires?"

   "Actually, it doesn't matter."

  Xu Xin smiled and shook his head:

   "Everyone is a brother of the same school, what can we do? Are you right?"

   "That's right."

  Yu Zhen rolled her eyes directly:

"If this news gets out, God knows how many people will sign up for me in the next class. Well, it will spread in the school in the future. If you take my class, you can go to your crew, and when you come out, you will be the executive director... Don't be afraid In the future, the executive director who will leave your crew will be a bad street?"

   "A bad street is better than nothing."

  Xu Xin smiled even more happily:

   "From a rational point of view, this is the brother's care for the brothers and sisters. And in the future, it is the care of the brothers for the brothers and sisters. It is about inheriting the vertical style.

  Graduate students are not playing games. Don’t everyone have to carry their things to see you during the holidays? Isn't that good... What's more, I heard from you, you have already decided that "The Hawthorn Tree" can be a success? "

   Facing Xu Xin's particularly naughty virtue, Yu Zhen shook her head amusedly.

  Actually...you don't have to.

  She knew what the disciple meant.

  Just like a disciple who is taught by a famous school has a bright future, a teacher also needs his own disciples to support his reputation.

   Both sides are mutual.

   If you can get into the "Yu Department", you can go to Director Xu's crew, and after you come out, the platform is higher than others...

   This is the same as the so-called famous schools in ancient martial arts novels.

  The disciples from famous sects have much greater resources and starting points than some pheasant sects. At the same time, it is precisely because of these disciples that the status of the sect master in the Jianghu can be steadily increased.

If you do this for a year or two, you may not be able to see anything, but five years, ten years, twenty years later... Leaving aside what happens in the entertainment industry, in the academic world, I will definitely be among the top group of people .

  The star tutor of the director department.

  Academia's master of martial arts...

  Core members of the Olympic Games!

  My good fellow, there are some things that I didn’t even plan, but my disciple has already planned for himself?

  In a trance, Yu Zhen suddenly had a feeling.

  She thinks...

  The luckiest thing for me was that on that winter morning in January 2006, I came to school habitually, intending to finish the work that was not finished yesterday, but I met my "problem student", right?

  …

  Modu, Cai Yinong suddenly frowned after hearing the secretary's report:

   "Tang Yan hasn't replied yet?"

   "No. We have already contacted her, but the assistant answered the call, saying that Tang Yan is in the hospital. She has chest tightness and can't breathe for the past two days, and her heart feels convulsive for a long time. She is being hospitalized for observation."

   "..."

  The corner of Cai Yinong's mouth twitched.

   Tang Yan's heart is not good, she knows this.

  As early as when I was in the crew of "Sword and Sword III", there was a scene where Tang Yan hangs on Wia. At the beginning, the crew didn't know that she was afraid of heights, but after the filming of the scene, everyone found out that she was crying. Only then did she say that she was afraid of heights.

  For a while, the crew thought she was very hardworking.

   But not long after, she covered her heart and said she was uncomfortable. The crew didn't dare to delay, so they quickly found someone to take her to the hospital for treatment, and found that her heart arrhythmia was indeed caused by mood swings.

   But the problem is at this juncture...

  On the 12th, "Weird Man Yizhimei" will be launched. If you are not hospitalized sooner or later, can you follow the script first?

  She was speechless, but she still asked:

   "Can't contact Tang Yan himself?"

  The secretary shook his head:

"I've already asked, she needs a thorough heart check this time, and her family will be with her these days, so that she won't be disturbed by any external affairs. Even if we say that we only need to let her confirm it, the assistant is going to say After I accepted it, I was rejected by Tang Yan's family... and I was even very dissatisfied."

   "..."

   Now, Cai Yinong was completely speechless.

  Heart problem is not a trivial matter, and it might kill you.

   She must understand to cut off all contact with the outside world and adjust her physical and mental emotions.

  But the problem is...

   Today is the 8th.

   There are 4 more days.

   "Weird Man" is too much to eat, is it possible to continue to wait?

   A wave of irritability began to brew in his heart.

  But she didn't show it, but asked:

   "Where is Ji Rujing? How do you say it?"

"After she said she was ill this time, she wasn't sure if Tang Yan would take this kind of martial arts scene again. After all, heart problems are not trivial, so she has to wait for Tang Yan to get the results and discuss with her. Don’t dare to promise us directly.”

   "..."

  The impeccable reason left Cai Yinong with no choice but to nod:

   "Then... Let's talk to the crew of "Strange Man" in advance. The heroine of this play may be delayed for a few days. Let them shoot other things first."

   "Okay, Mr. Cai."

  The secretary responded.

  Available as a secretary, her job is more than just an answering person.

  So, she reminded Cai Yinong:

   "But... Mr. Cai, in case Tang Yan's doctor says that her heart is not suitable for action or work in the short term... then we have to make preparations?"

   "..."

   One sentence asked Cai Yinong's heart.

   made her frown again.

   a moment...

   "I'm thinking about this, you go out first."

"OK."

  The secretary left, but Cai Yinong's brows were never untied.

  …

   And just when she was troubled by the change of roles in "Strange Man", Yu Zheng's troubles followed him like a shadow.

   "Mr. Yu, the people from Hunan Economic Satellite TV replied. They said... "The Big Maid" is indeed going to be changed, but the specific reason is decided by the main station, and they don't know why..."

   "..."

  Magic City Yuzheng Studio.

  After hearing the report from his subordinates, Yu Zheng's face darkened again.

   Not sure why?

  Why else...

  He knew very well in his heart that these things happened because of himself...or because of "Gong Suo Xin Yu".

  But in order to stabilize the morale of the army and prevent everyone in the studio from panicking, or to spread any unnecessary news and cause more trouble, he didn't tell anyone.

  So, he nodded:

   "Okay, you go out first, I will go to negotiate."

   Waiting for the employee to go out, he sat at his desk and cursed a little irritably:

   "Fuck! Fuck!"

   It would be a lie to say that I am not irritable.

  Even after transferring the script to Tang Ren, he already guessed that his career might suffer some twists and turns, and made preparations.

   But when things happened, the restlessness inevitably found him.

but…

   It’s okay, it’s just "The Big Maid".

  The consequence of offending Tianyu was within his expectations, and he could accept it.

  Anyway, the money for "The Great Maid" has arrived.

  It is not enough to lose money, the worst is not to make money.

  I have another hope, that is, after it was aired in March, the response was particularly enthusiastic. I saw "Beauty's Scheming", which can bring a wave of ratings fame immediately after it hit the stars.

  Thinking of this, although he felt better, the anger still burned his eyes.

   His expression was a little distorted.

   But before the anger was released, suddenly, the phone rang again.

  Seeing the caller, Yu Zheng was taken aback.

  Moren.

  The boss of Zijun Films, the investor of "Beauty's Scheming".

  My most important partner.

  In recent years, we have collaborated on many dramas, especially this "Beauty's Scheming". Both parties have full confidence in this drama.

   is a TV series that makes the cooperation between the two parties more and more close.

   Since "Beauty's Scheming" started airing on March 15, the steady increase in ratings also proves that these confidences are not groundless.

  Success is imminent.

  Ke Moren called himself at this juncture...

  For no reason, an ominous premonition rose in Yu Zheng's heart.

   "...Hello? Mr. Mo."

"Mr. Yu, the Shanghai TV drama channel has just announced the ratings of "Beauty's Scheming". Didn't it say that the feedback is very good, why is the rating not yet 1.4? With this kind of rating, the price of our stardom will be greatly increased." Lowered. What's going on here?"

"impossible!"

  The moment he heard this, Yu Zheng subconsciously rebutted.

   Although the ratings of "Beauty's Scheming" have not been released to the outside world, they got the data on the day of the premiere.

   Started broadcasting at 1.37, and then continued to rise all the way.

  In the radiation range of the TV drama channel in Shanghai, it has already broken 3 in March.

   Of course, this is not a national rating, but a local rating.

  Usually, if the ratings of a new drama break above 5, it can be confirmed that it is a big hit. Then take these data to the major TV stations, and you can get a pretty good price.

   But the first week broke three, and the plot is also steadily increasing. How could it be less than 1.4 ratings! ?

   This is not talking blindly...huh?

  Suddenly, Yu Zheng seemed to realize something.

  Could it be...

  Recalling the fat middle-aged man who only gave himself two words "get out" that night.

   Could it be him! ?

   "What is impossible? The data announced by others can be false!? Mr. Yu, this is not possible..."

  Listening to Moren's somewhat angry words on the phone, Yu Zheng didn't dare to refute, let alone say that the trouble might be caused by himself.

  I can only quickly comfort the donor:

   "Mr. Mo, don't worry, I'll ask again, maybe they made a mistake in the statistics. I'll ask them to re-count..."

  Three points of comfort and seven points of flattery, so to speak, after appeasing Mo Ren first, Yu Zheng's eyes were already red after hanging up the phone.

  At the same time, amidst the anger, there was suddenly a hint of bad feeling mixed in.

  Dare to brazenly make a fuss about the ratings of "Beauty's Scheming"...

  What is the identity of that middle-aged man?

   Just thinking about it, suddenly the phone rang again.

   After looking at the caller, he was taken aback.

   Still Moren.

  What's the matter?

  He quickly suppressed his emotions and connected the phone.

   "Hello, Mr. Mo."

   "Mr. Yu...have you offended someone?"

  As soon as Mo Ren's words came out, Yu Zheng was taken aback:

   "What...what do you mean?"

"What's the meaning?"

  Mo Ren asked back, his tone full of dissatisfaction:

"Just now, people from Jiangsu TV called me just now. They had already negotiated everything, and they rejected the "Happy Mother-in-law and Pretty Daughter-in-law" that was short of signing the contract. They also left a sentence: Yu Zheng's play We can't accept... Yu Zong, what are you doing?"

   "...????"

  Yu Zheng was momentarily stunned.

  A gust of wind that was about to come, just like this, blew in my heart.
