I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 167 165 Entertainment Circle

Chapter 167 165. Entertainment Circle

Xiangjiang, Convention and Exhibition Center.

The stars are bright and the stars are gathering.

"Brother, I'm a little nervous...what should I do?"

Hearing this, Liu Ye, who was sitting in the car, became happy:

"Don't do this. Every time I say you are nervous, I never see you being embarrassed."

"..."

Yang Mi was speechless:

"I'm really nervous...especially behind Zhang Ziyi. Can I not be nervous?"

Zhang Ziyi was nominated this time as the heroine of "The Banquet".

The media has been hyping up the dispute between the two generations over the past few days.

Although strictly speaking, today's visitor is a "third generation" girl.

And the organizers don't know whether it's full of bad taste or full of "malice". The crews of "The Night Banquet" and "The Golden Armor" are next to each other.

The Golden Armor crew has four people here today.

Liu Ye, Yang Mi, Gong Li, and Zhou Renfa as the "host".

Jay Chou went back to Wanwan to work on "The Secret That Cannot Be Tellable," but he couldn't come.

As for "The Night Banquet", Zhou Xun didn't come, but Ge You came, and Wu Yanzu and Zhang Ziyi were in the same car.

But because Ge You appeared alone, the organizers cleverly moved Ge You's position forward, allowing Wu Yanzu and Zhang Ziyi to take center stage.

In "Golden Armor", the girl appeared together with Liu Ye, then Gong Li appeared alone, and finally Zhou Renfa.

And Zhou Renfa was also the last guest, which can be said to have given him enough face.

But the problem is... As for the "Mou Girl", the media seems to have gone all out, instigating three generations of Mou Girl to be in the same frame, and directly placed them together.

After hearing this, Liu Ye had seen enough storms and waves, and knew the urinal nature of this group of Hong Kong media, so he shook his head:

"It's okay, don't worry, I will protect you this time."

"That can protect me..."

"Ha~ don't worry~"

Liu Ye patted his chest and promised.

Yang Mi continued to look out the window. Among the people taking pictures on both sides of the red carpet, she could vaguely see a figure in a dress walking past step by step.

There are so many celebrities and big names here today.

Whether it is Hong Kong or the Mainland, not to mention Zhou Renfa, Liang Chaowei, Andy Lau, South Korea's RAIN, which has been very popular in the past two years, and Mainland's Zhao Wei, Liang Binning, etc. are also here.

Recalling what she saw and heard just now, Yang Mi felt... maybe if it weren't for Director Zhang, if it wasn't for "The Golden Armor", she wouldn't be "worthy" of standing here, right?

Not to mention walking the red carpet in this position.

All of this is due to "finding girls".

Thinking of this, she felt a little disappointed for no reason.

When... can I achieve a well-deserved finale wherever I go, without having to compare myself to others, and without having to act as a foil to anyone, standing in that position?

As she thought about it, her eyes became a little empty.

At this moment, Liu Ye pushed her:

"Sister, let's go, remember to hold down your skirt and don't expose it."

This brother's reminder quickly brought Yang Mi back to her senses.

Then, Liu Ye opened the car door from the other end and walked out.

After getting off, he buttoned up his dress and walked to the car door facing the red carpet under the flickering spotlight. With his clothes pressed against his abdomen, he bowed slightly and opened the car door.

"Kacha kacha kacha..."

Immediately, a flash that was many times stronger than before sounded.

Yang Mi gently pressed down the skirt at the top of her thighs, revealing her stunning slender legs. After her high heels hit the ground, she put her hand on Liu Ye's hand.

After getting out of the car with the help of the other party's strength, he and Liu Ye stood in front of the car with a concave shape.

Liu Ye politely put his hand on Yang Mi's waist, and then after the dent was almost gone, he gently pushed her from the back, which meant: you can move forward.

Yang Mi understood, holding the corner of her skirt, and followed Liu Ye step by step towards the signature area.

It's just...it's different from the cheers and screams when Zhang Ziyi passed by before.

As she walked along, except for the flashing lights, there were no fans screaming or cheering.

It seems a bit "deserted".

After walking to the autograph area, it was actually different from what the girl thought she would be pestered to ask about finding a girl.

The red carpet host is a very young girl, whose name is Yang Mi. I don't know her name.

When facing the media, her behavior is also very clear.

He asked Liu Ye three questions and Yang Mi one question.

The first question: How does it feel to come to the scene?

The second question: What kind of award-winning aspirations do you have for "Golden Armor"?

These two questions are very formulaic, and Liu Ye’s answers are not very bright.

After asking two questions, he originally planned to put down the microphone. Suddenly, the host asked another question:

"Are you sorry you didn't get a nomination today?"

Liu Ye was stunned, subconsciously glanced at the girl who was waiting silently and smiling, and said quickly:

"No, I am also a supporting character, huh."

After ending with a "huh," he put down the microphone.

Logically speaking, no matter what artist, there should be two problems per person, but for Yang Mi, there is only one left.

As expected, the host then started to ask Yang Mi:

"I would like to ask Yang Mi, it is rare that three generations of Mou girls are on the same stage today. Can you make a prediction about who of the two seniors will win the award?"

"..."

Liu Ye's mouth twitched...

Damn it...

Where did the host come from?

Crazy?

Just as she was about to pick up the phone, Yang Mi took one step ahead and said with her polite smile as before:

"I can't predict it. This question is too difficult to answer. Both of them are my favorite actors. Thank you."

After answering, there was no need for the host to say anything. Liu Ye naturally stepped aside and led Yang Mi to the audience.

At this time, screams sounded from outside.

It should be Gong Li who came out.

"Who the hell is this host? He's such a grandson..."

After hearing Liu Ye's words, Yang Mi shrugged:

"It doesn't matter, brother, let's go in."

"damn it……"

Liu Ye cursed rather unhappily and walked in with Yang Mi.

After finding a seat belonging to the crew of "Golden Armor", he was temporarily relieved:

"It's okay. It seems that the organizer has a certain bottom line. I thought we would be next to "The Night Banquet"."

"Um……"

Seeing that Yang Mi was indeed not very happy, Liu Ye said again:

"It's okay, don't take it to heart. This is the virtue here in Xiangjiang. They believe in entertaining until death, you know. They like to stir up excitement and gossip about everything. Didn't you see that the media just blocked Liang Chaowei, just because of Carina Lau and that... The scandal about the rich man Guo Taiming... They just pursue heat, excitement, and eye-catching. This time they will learn more, and it will be okay if they don’t come next time. Anyway, they are not what they used to be, right?"

"Oh, brother, I'm fine."

Hearing this, Yang Mi smiled and shook her head:

"I know how much I weigh, and I'll be fine."

"Um."

Seeing her say this, Liu Ye felt relieved.

And soon Gong Li, who was alone, came over and sat next to Yang Mi.

"Have I asked you about Zhang Ziyi?"

"I asked. I asked who I wanted to win the award, you or Zhang Ziyi. I said I liked it both, so I left."

Hearing Yang Mi's words, Gong Li nodded:

"That's fine. We are fine, but these media like to cling to these things. You don't need to worry about what they say, just ignore it."

"OK."

Then, when the host Zhou Renfa arrived, the red carpet ended and the awards ceremony began.

It is true that this first Asian Film Awards ceremony was very star-studded, and all the celebrities and big names were present. The combined box office revenue is in the tens of billions.

But the cruel thing is that although there are many nominations for each award, there is only one winner for each award.

The entire "Golden Armor" was fruitless.

The same goes for "The Night Banquet".

The best actress award went to Miki Nakatani, the heroine of "Fantasy Over Flowers".

The best actor award went to Song Kang-ho of "The Monster on the Han River".

The best film was also "The Monster of the Han River", while the best director went to Jia Zhangke.

In fact, Yang Mi's purpose is quite simple, just to walk on the red carpet, soak up the heat, and that's it.

Unexpectedly, after the award ceremony, when she was following everyone out, someone from the organizer suddenly stopped her and Gong Li.

Hope to be interviewed.

Gong Li glanced at Yang Mi, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement.

Her original intention was to take some photos with this little girl... an actress, that's all. It's true that the red carpet is full of excitement, but at this time, although most people are focused on the award-winning actor and actress, there is still some enthusiasm.

She didn't care, but she was willing to sell Xiao Xu's child as a favor.

As soon as I agreed, Zhang Ziyi was also invited over by the staff.

When the three of them met, Yang Mi was fine and didn't feel anything.

But Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li glanced at each other, and after seeing each other's surprised eyes, they both understood what was going on...

Obviously, this is a "premeditated" three generations in the same frame.

Moreover, the staff did not tell them beforehand.

The two people's expressions instantly became a little uncomfortable.

It's not that I feel uncomfortable with the other party, but that I feel uncomfortable with this kind of arrangement without prior notification.

And when Yang Mi shouted "Hello, Teacher Zhang", Zhang Ziyi nodded at her first, then turned to Gong Li and said:

"Sister, let's fight quickly, shall we?"

"Um."

Gong Li responded:

"Take a few photos and leave."

"You stand in the middle."

"good."

So, Gong Li stood in the middle, Zhang Ziyi stood on the right of Gong Li, and Yang Mi stood on the left of Gong Li, and they walked onto the interview stage together.

Reporters cheered and swarmed over.

Holding a microphone, video camera, and camera...

They were all targeted at Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi.

The two of them have rarely been together on the same stage. If the organizer hadn't used some tricks today, they might not have been able to get together. So when the reporters saw the organizer's arrangements, they almost knelt down and called them daddy and mommy.

"Gong Li, what do you think of Zhang Ziyi's work "The Night Banquet"?"

"Zhang Ziyi, what do you think of "The Golden Jacket"? If there is a sequel, would you consider starring in it?"

"Gong Li..."

"Zhang Ziyi..."

Throughout the whole process, Yang Mi stood aside like a little transparent person.

All reporters' microphones and cameras were pointed at the two people next to them.

The girl even heard someone yelling:

"Please Yang Mi, could you please give in a little bit? I can't take the picture from this angle."

"okay."

The girl nodded and took a step back without fighting or grabbing.

Also keep smiling.

It seems that compared with the previous two generations of Mou girls, the Mou girls of her generation are not even worth mentioning.

The degree of reality of the Hong Kong media can be seen clearly.

During this period, Gong Li looked back at her and said nothing.

After answering two questions, he politely said thank you, then took a step back and stood with Yang Mi.

At this time, the camera moved some positions and angles.

After Zhang Ziyi answered the two questions, she also took a step back.

so……

The three generations are officially "in the same frame".

In fact, logically speaking, as a girl, Yang Mi naturally has some enthusiasm.

But no matter...there were too many people present today.

The big names are all here, and even if a new generation of girl who has only one film so far wants to be noticed, her audience is destined to be very small.

After all, everyone is looking for girls, and both Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi have proven themselves internationally.

And you……

Who do you think you are...

A new Mou Girl may be very powerful at other times, but today these people... If you count one brick, eight out of ten are movie kings and movie queens, plus two generations of Mou Girls share the same frame. As the "third one", she really didn't get much attention when the two of them were on the same stage, in the same frame, and even interviewed together...

After the three of them finished styling, Gong Li nodded:

"Let's go."

The three of them walked off the red carpet and headed towards the exit.

On the way, Gong Li covered her mouth with her handbag and said to the girl:

"It's okay, don't pay attention to them, they're just a bunch of paparazzi."

"Uh-huh."

The girl responded, and then saw Sun Ting and Zeng Jia at the exit.

…

"Teacher Zhang, goodbye."

"Well, Mimi, bye, see you next time."

Zhang Ziyi waved to Yang Mi enthusiastically before leaving, and Sun Ting quickly put a coat on Yang Mi to cover the exposed back of the dress.

Gong Li has left.

"Sister, let's go back to the hotel and rest?"

"No more rest."

Yang Mi shook her head:

"Go back and pack your luggage, find a car, and let's cross the border directly."

"Aren't you going to attend the dinner?"

Zeng Jia was a little surprised.

She couldn't enter the venue, so she didn't know what was going on inside.

She originally wanted to take Yang Mi to meet a few directors to promote it.

After all, compared to the awards ceremony for the audience, the celebrity dinner afterwards is where the actors socialize.

But who knew that Yang Mi just shook her head:

"I don't like this place, let's leave."

"..."

Zeng Jia was stunned and asked subconsciously:

"What happened in there?"

"fine."

The girl still shook her head:

"I just don't like it here, go back. Tingting, where is the car?"

"there."

"Let's go."

All the way back to the car, because Sun Ting did not have a driver's license here, she went back in the car provided by the organizer.

When we returned to the hotel, artists had also returned one after another.

Whether they are artists from Hong Kong or mainland China, they have to change their clothes in the hotel room to attend the dinner.

Of course, it is not ruled out that someone like Zhou Renfa would just go home to change, then eat something, and then come over in time for the second half of the dinner.

The first half is a time for the young actors to socialize.

Even if big directors and big actors want to talk about something, they will find a quiet place, such as a cigar bar or a small high-end party. When the conversation is almost done, they will choose to leave and accept the surrounding stars. taste.

After this dinner, I won’t mention what kind of cooperation there will be, or who will walk into whose room, or what kind of transactions there will be, but this is the process.

So the hotel's four elevators are a bit blocked at the moment.

Even the artist and his artist team, this assistant, that manager, that assistant, all huddled together. Everyone ranks according to seniority, the shorter ones are chosen as generals, the more popular ones go first, and the ones with bigger hips wait behind...

Seeing this, Yang Mi took Zeng Jia and Sun Ting to wait aside.

There is no way, the sofas in the hotel are full of people.

She stopped squeezing.

Standing silently in the corner, waiting, waiting, waiting...

Waiting for the familiar faces to enter the elevator with smiles on their faces.

Finally, after everyone had left, she said:

"Let's go."

The three of them finally arrived at the elevator.

But just as an elevator was approaching, there were waves of footsteps coming from behind.

Yang Mi instinctively turned around and saw that Liang Binning and Wu Qilong were walking this way with about ten people.

Among them was Liang Binning or Wu Qilong. After seeing the elevator approaching, he ran over quickly. When the elevator door opened, he blocked the elevator door with his hand.

To prevent the elevator door from closing suddenly and pinching the artist behind.

But at the same time, a problem posed to Yang Mi and the others.

That is... do you want to squeeze in?

Anyway, what I mean is that you must get on this elevator.

Seeing this, Yang Mi took another step back.

He politely gave up his position again.

She asked. Sun Ting's reaction was slow, but she still followed Yang Mi and took a step back.

But Zeng Jia moved her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

At this moment, the people who had arrived at the elevator door had already entered the elevator without minding their own business.

Wu Qilong and Liang Binning were chatting and laughing, but neither of them looked here.

Looking for a girl looks like the same thing to the outside world.

But for those of them who are currently popular and have good relationships with various brokerage companies and big companies, as long as they are interested in the twists and turns in the "Golden Armor" crew, it is almost not considered asking, and they will naturally know.

Perhaps each of them has a well-rounded temperament and is considerate of all aspects of life.

But that would only be done to someone who is at least at the same height.

Is a big actor good at everything to a small actor?

What fairy tale are you talking about?

Then, the elevator door closed.

Yang Mi looked at herself reflected in the mirror after the elevator door closed...

Not a word was spoken.

Sun Ting, on the other hand, pressed the elevator button again in silence.

Soon, another elevator arrived.

After the guests came down, Yang Mi walked in.

The elevator doors are closed.

In the quiet elevator, suddenly, the girl asked:

"Tingting, what day is it today?"

"Uh... the 20th, March 20th."

Hearing Sun Ting's words, Yang Mi nodded:

"Um."

March 20, 2007.

After coming into contact with the upper class of this circle for the first time in a real sense, the girl was taught a serious lesson in reality.

This circle: the big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp.

The only people who can talk to each other are big fish and big fish.

Soon, the elevator arrived.

After the girl returned to the room, she kicked off her high heels and sat on the bed, still rubbing her sore heels, while Sun Ting began to move her clothes quickly.

First, she found a set of comfortable sportswear and sneakers for the girl. In front of these two people, Yang Mi took off the dress, took off the bra patch, put on comfortable and loose underwear, and stepped on After putting on my sneakers, I started to pack my cosmetics.

After putting the charger and other things into her bag, she looked at the time... It was almost 8:30.

Back in Shenzhen, it was about 9:30 or 10:00.

"Sister Zeng, please ask about the air ticket. If it's okay...if I can leave tonight, I want to go home."

"good."

Zeng Jia responded.

She also saw that the girl was in a bad mood.

So I called directly and started booking tickets.

By chance, there was a plane taking off at 10:50.

After Zeng Jia made the reservation directly, her luggage was packed, and the three of them pushed the suitcases out of the room.

Along the way I met several actors who were all on the same floor.

Being on this floor means that everyone has similar coffee spots.

Seeing Yang Mi dragging her suitcase away, she felt a little weird.

Are you not going to attend the most important dinner party?

But no one reminded me.

On the contrary, I was quite happy.

Without the competition of "looking for girls", wouldn't the chance of being chosen be greater?

So they all pretended not to know and said goodbye politely.

After leaving the hotel, Zeng Jia hailed a taxi in the bustling night scene of Causeway Bay.

This is where the taxis in Xiangjiang are outrageous.

It also costs extra to open the trunk, and it also costs extra to sit in the passenger seat...

But it doesn’t matter.

When she arrived at the station in Kowloon, after paying her money, Yang Mi saw several cars with double license plates.

Sun Ting went directly to negotiate the price. After the negotiation was completed, she got into a Toyota Sienna.

After going around and around, we crossed the bridge and came to the port.

Finally got on the plane.

During this period, the girl didn't seem to be in a good mood. She didn't notify Xu Xin that she was going back. She didn't even look at her phone. She was either in a daze or distracted.

Then after getting on the plane, I fell into a deep sleep.

Two hours later, the plane landed and we went to the parking lot and drove into the company-sent commercial vehicle.

"Sister Zeng, let me take you back first, and then I'll ask Tingting to take me back."

"good……"

Zeng Jia responded, thought for a while, and said:

"Don't think too much, go back and have a good sleep. If you have any ideas, tell me tomorrow."

"Hey, I know."

It seemed that because of going home, the girl finally saw a smile on her face.

But silence soon returned.

Soon, the car arrived in the city. After sending Zeng Jia to the place, Sun Ting asked:

"Sister, where are you going? Going home?"

"...Go to your brother Xu."

"good."

A moment later, in Shijia Hutong, the girl got out of the car. She glanced at the door and saw that Audi was not there. She knew that her boyfriend probably hadn't come back yet.

But it doesn’t matter.

After waving to Sun Ting, she directly carried the suitcase and the key into the door.

Take a shower and change clothes.

When the girl with a tired face came out of the bathroom, although she was already very tired, she still sat conscientiously in front of the dressing table and started skin care.

At around 2 o'clock in the morning, skin care was completed.

She was sure that her boyfriend would not come back tonight.

Not coming back... Just right.

The reason why she didn't go home was because she didn't want her parents to see how depressed she was.

In the same way, the absence of her boyfriend at this moment also gave her the most suitable loneliness.

Turn off the lights.

The bedroom fell into darkness.

The girl sat on the head of the bed, silent in the dark room.

No one knows what she is thinking.

She fell asleep on the plane and couldn't sleep now.

This insomnia helps give her some clarity.

Some... After being naive, I suddenly saw something more real than reality in this circle, and I understood some principles and goals.
