I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 575 573. Small details

"How do you feel?"

Looking at the two people sitting together, Xu Xin ignored Wang Sicong's speechless expression and Tang Yan's confused look, and asked the people around him.

And everyone is also looking at the two people sitting together.

To be honest, it's not a big deal if you say you can see something.

But...

Xue Yong’s words actually represent everyone’s thoughts:

"Director Xu, it's like this. In terms of acting skills, I don't see it. But in terms of temperament... maybe it's because I already know Mr. Wang's own conditions. In my mind, he doesn't need to act, he just has money. People. With this preconception, I feel that acting skills are not important anymore. Because in the script, Wei Yiran actually said that in addition to a few daily lines, a large paragraph of lines is to use a In a reminiscing tone, he told Huang Xiaoxian the emotional story between him and Li Ke. It’s still relatively easy to handle..."

His words were echoed by many.

It sounds like this even to people who are not familiar with the script.

Indeed, if nothing else is mentioned, among the young people today, who doesn’t know Wang Sicong’s identity?

Or the relationship between Wang Sicong, Director Xu, Lang Lang and Jay Chou?

Jay Chou's autographs are all over the Internet.

When people ask you where you got it, at least 99 out of a hundred people will say that it was done by Director Xu...

The four of them have a good relationship. They started a company together and worked on programs together... And if they guest star together this time, it will also be an attraction for the movie itself. Wang Sicong's identity is a natural advantage.

No need to act.

When you see him, you know he is rich.

Ordinary people feel full after eating at a night market. Isn't that why he feels like eating at a night market stall and having a private visit by an emperor incognito?

I was just hungry and went to eat a bowl of noodles. There is no difference from ordinary diners, but when the photos appear on the Internet, they will naturally become "down-to-earth" and "smoky".

Quite outrageous.

But it happens that no matter this kind of news or his fame, any of them will only serve as evidence that he is a rich man.

So there is no need to act.

No acting required either.

Having acting skills is definitely a plus, but without acting skills...Wei still has the character of a rich man, which can be found in him.

After hearing Xue Yong's words, Xu Xin also nodded:

"It makes sense. Let's just say that in the afternoon, you two will audition together, Lao Tian, ​​and you will give him Wei Yiran's role in a while. You will directly play the opposite role in the afternoon. That's it."

Without giving Wang Sicong any chance to refute, Xu Xin made the decision directly.

When the eldest young master heard this, his face turned red.

Although he is not too shy, this is really his first time acting...

"Old Xu, you...don't think about it anymore? I won't!"

"It's okay, I think it's quite suitable."

Xu Xin waved his hand:

"That's it. If you have any questions...well, just communicate with Tang Yan. Okay, let's all rest."

Without giving Big Lao Wang any chance, he forcefully settled the matter.

Because it really fits.

It doesn't matter if he can't speak the lines well. Later on, I'll drag him to the recording studio and teach him a little bit, and that's it.

As he spoke, he turned to look at the art director Wu Ming:

"Martial Arts Director, I will go directly to the costumes in the afternoon. I have some candidates in mind. After calling the makeup artist, we will have a meeting during lunch and I will directly select the costumes they will wear in the afternoon."

"Ok, no problem."

After Wu Ming responded, Xu Xin turned to look at Wang Sicong:

"You go home at noon and get two sets of casual suits that you usually wear. The one that looks cleaner. Then change the other styles as well. The one that has a bit of business and a bit of casual feel. I heard it. without?"

"..."

Wang Sicong nodded with "miserable" eyes.

Looking at his virtue, Xu Xin chuckled:

"Ha, don't worry, I will guarantee you a suitable price for the film. The last time it will be one thousand yuan per movie! Okay?"

"I'll give you 10 million, can you let me go?"

The eldest young master also tried to argue.

But when Xu Xin heard this, he sneered:

"Those three melons and two jujubes of yours are also called money? Who are you trying to kill?"

After speaking, he turned around and said to Xu Zhi and Xu Yang:

"He wants to buy us with 10 million..."

Xu Yang nodded slightly:

"It's a bit embarrassing."

"..."

"..."

"..."

No one in the room knew what to say.

This game is too high-end and I really can’t get into it.

…

"Wang...Mr. Wang. Please give me your advice this afternoon."

After hearing Tang Yan's words, Wang Sicong didn't say anything indifferent.

He actually has a clear sense of love and hate.

Let’s not say you have any kindness toward strangers, but at least you won’t have any prejudice.

Also, he was very polite.

So after hearing Tang Yan's words, he just sighed in distress:

"Alas...Teacher Tang..."

"You can just call me Tang Yan...or Tangtang...all my friends call me that."

"Well, okay, Tang Yan."

Although he could hear her intention of getting closer, he already knew how to avoid suspicion as he claimed to be the man who would protect Wang Xiaoben for the rest of his life after having Wang Xiaoben.

"Are you free at noon?"

"some."

Tang Yan nodded.

Knowing Wang Sicong will definitely help her career decisively.

After all... As the number one theater chain in the country, not to mention knowing Wang Sicong, even if I casually know some of the executives in the theater chain, with this kind of relationship... I can count on almost 30% of the crew. It was a flat push.

Getting to know people means that your chances of going to the cinema are increased.

People who are not in the film industry may not know much about this relationship. But as an insider, except for those movies with big production companies, big investors, and celebrities participating in them can easily go to theaters, other small investment and small film crews want to go to theaters?

That is a natural chasm.

But Tang Yan didn't dare to show too much enthusiasm.

At least...don't dare if you don't have control of his temper.

After hearing her answer, Wang Sicong glanced at his watch and said:

"If you don't mind, let's have a quick lunch here...can you teach me?"

Lao Xu has a meeting with the crew at noon, so he must be busy.

And he is not the kind of character without opinions.

Since my friend needs help... plus he really has never experienced the feeling of making a movie.

Then give it a try.

And if we want to do it, let alone do our best...it's unrealistic. But at least he didn't want to embarrass himself.

I don’t want to embarrass my friends either.

Regardless of Tang Yan's acting skills, he could at least teach himself something.

Faced with this invitation, Tang Yan would naturally not refuse.

This is the best way to get closer.

"Okay, then where should we eat?"

"Find someone..."

He was about to say a place with few people.

But when she thought that he would ask Wang Xiaoben to get some clothes for her from home soon, and he would have an audition in the afternoon, she would definitely come over.

It would definitely not be appropriate for a man and a woman to go to a private room to eat or something like that.

He allowed himself to be involved in scandals.

But if the scandal really happened, he would rather be with Wang Xiaoben.

This will also help her increase her popularity.

So after thinking about it, he said:

"Just stay here and deal with it, okay?"

Tang Yan followed the good advice and nodded with a smile:

"no problem."

Therefore, the two of them did not go anywhere else.

Although there is no canteen in Nifeng, it is not a problem to have someone help prepare meals.

Xu Xin's office on the 11th floor was occupied, and the two of them ate in the conference room.

Before waiting for the meal to arrive, Wang Sicong looked at some of the circled passages in his script and asked:

"what should I do?"

"Let's read through it first, and let's review the lines."

Tang Yan thought for a while, pointed to the content of the paragraph and said:

"Li Ke and Wei are still lovers, but didn't Director Xu just say that? Mr. Wang..."

"Let's change the title...just call me by my name."

"Well……"

Tang Yan was stunned, and suddenly said tentatively:

"Then can I call you Brother Cong?"

"..."

Wang Sicong's mouth twitched.

No, how come your sister, who was born in 1983, calls out the words "Cong Ge" to my brother who was born in 1988?

But he still pinched his nose and recognized it:

"Okay, Sister Tang."

"..."

Tang Yan was stunned for a moment, but a little joy immediately filled his eyes.

The kind that can't be suppressed even if you want to.

So, she smiled like a flower:

"Well, Brother Cong!...Brother Cong, let's review the lines first. Director Xu said that you feel like Wei Yiran whenever you sit there, so let's not talk about acting skills for now. Let's straighten out the lines, and then Brother Cong, you You can think about it for yourself, what tone and expression you would use when saying these words if you were Wei Yiran...then I will cooperate with you."

"good."

Wang Sicong nodded:

"Just say these lines, right? Say them however you want?"

"Yes. Just talk normally..."

While Tang Yan was talking, suddenly, Wang Sicong's phone rang.

"Feel sorry."

He nodded politely, took out the phone, looked at it, and quickly connected:

"Hey, are you awake?"

Tang Yan was stunned when he heard the doting in those words...

Then I didn’t know what was said over there, so I heard Wang Sicong say:

"I was also recruited by Lao Xu to play the role of Wei Yiran...

ah?

...Yes, Li Ke and Wei Yiran.

...and Tang Yan, Sister Tang and I will act.

...Ha, yes, it’s my first time on camera, so I’m a little nervous. Then Sister Tang and I played together at the company at noon, and she taught me.

...Well, hurry up then, oh yes, get me two sets of casual suits from the closet.

...Okay, let’s get the set. Get some more matching ones, something that shows that I'm rich...good.

...Well, don’t worry, remember to eat.

……Uh-huh……"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Sicong smiled and said:

"My girlfriend."

"Brother Cong is such a good man."

Tang Yan praised him, which made Wang Sicong laugh.

Then the two of them started exchanging lines with each other before the meal came.

Xu Xin had a meeting with several directors in the office and finalized some makeup templates with the makeup artist.

The templates are all sketches drawn by him himself.

Although it was simple, everyone except Xu Yang and Xu Zhi were surprised that he could tell the makeup artist the look he wanted with just a few strokes.

Especially the two makeup artists.

One of them looked at Xu Xin using a few light and heavy lines to outline the shadows of the sketch, and after expressing what kind of facial features he wanted to see in front of the camera, he couldn't help but ask:

"Director Xu... have you ever studied painting?"

"Three golds are talents."

Xu Zhi laughed:

"I have been good at drawing since I was a child, and I am still the representative of the art class..."

Recalling the interesting things from his childhood, Xu Xin shook his head with a smile:

"Okay, let's prepare according to this."

Everyone nodded and walked out of the office.

After finishing the work here, it was almost 2 o'clock, so he planned to see how Lao Wang was doing.

In the headwind office, except for the boss, everyone else's offices adopt the style of having the upper part transparent and the lower part frosted glass.

Xu Xin, who is over 1.8 meters tall, could easily see the two people sitting in the small conference room.

The two of them sat at right angles to the long table.

They are obviously next to each other, but there is a ninety-degree turn in the middle.

The sense of distance is well grasped.

And... although I couldn't hear what they were talking about, it seemed that Wang Sicong was quite serious.

And just when he was hesitating whether to go in, he suddenly heard someone calling him:

"Director Xu."

Turn around and look.

Wang Ying is here.

There were several shopping bags in his hands.

"Ah hello."

Xu Xin smiled and nodded, his eyes falling on her face.

Suddenly I realized...this girl was wearing makeup today.

"...?"

He was a little surprised.

It’s not that makeup is not allowed during auditions. After all, many girls look beautiful with makeup, but they can’t be seen without makeup.

But the problem is... there is also an unspoken rule for auditions: you cannot wear too much makeup.

In other words, the style of makeup is too strong.

Just the simplest basic concealer is enough. This can more fully demonstrate your appearance advantages. And for the same reason, there is no need to wear makeup during the second round of makeup auditions.

Because makeup is required, follow the director’s makeup requirements.

When an actor puts on makeup, it's like superfluous.

Very unnecessary.

But the makeup this girl put on today...to be honest, I can't say whether it's too thick or too light, but...

Xu Xin discovered a very strange thing.

Why does her makeup look so like Yang Ying?

It's really similar.

Then something came to his mind uncontrollably.

That was when we were in Xi'an, when everyone from "The Voice" had a dinner together, Big Lao Wang looked at Yang Ying and sighed with emotion.

Then the big old king returned to the Magic City that night, and when they met again, he brought the girl in front of him with him...

And now this girl looks very much like Yang Ying with makeup on...

Could it be...

He was in a trance for a moment.

And Wang Ying also walked up to him in a daze, her eyes inevitably falling on the conference room next to him.

Then...Xu Xin felt the sharp change in her pupils.

Shrunk suddenly.

His eyes were sharp.

Then it disappeared completely and returned to normal.

"...?"

Everything happened so fast that he even had the illusion that "I saw it wrong."

but……

As a director, if you are not confident about your own feelings, this lack of confidence itself is the biggest insult to the director's vision.

After this illusion emerged, it was quickly replaced by a sense of speechlessness.

this……

Fine.

In the blink of an eye, he had found the correct answer:

"What are you holding in your hand?"

The girl whose eyes returned to normal came back to her senses, and a harmless smile appeared on her face:

"He said he was chosen to play a role by you and asked me to bring some casual suits."

"Yep."

Xu Xin responded with a smile:

"Wei Yiran, do you know who it is?"

"Yeah, I know."

Of course she also read the script.

"I searched around but couldn't find a suitable one, so I asked him to try it out. It felt pretty good... and Tang Yan is also very suitable for a sweet character like Li Ke. The two of them have the same lines."

He didn't care whether the other party knew the situation in advance. After explaining it to Big Pharaoh, he knocked on the door directly.

The two people sitting at the table turned their heads.

When he saw his girlfriend, Wang Sicong's face showed a look of joy and stood up directly.

Xu Xin didn't go in.

He just pointed downstairs, meaning to go get ready, and then opened the door for Wang Ying in a very gentlemanly manner.

Then he left.

Wang Sicong smiled at Tang Yan and said:

"Sister Tang, my girlfriend is Wang Ying."

"Hello."

Tang Yan politely extended his hand.

And Wang Ying also responded politely.

But two women are together... Although Tang Yan never thought about having any "connection" with Wang Sicong, the winning mentality that belongs to women is instinctive and cannot be eliminated.

Regardless of whether it is a fair and objective perspective or a subjective perspective... Wang Ying is actually incomparable to Tang Yan.

It is true that Wang Ying is a model, but Tang Yan is an Olympic treasure.

Anyone who can come out of Zhang Yimou's hands, regardless of appearance and temperament, can't go wrong anywhere.

Wang Yingbi is just an obvious thing.

And Tang Yan had no intention of showing off her feathers... After all, Wang Ying was not happy... If she showed off, she would be in trouble.

So she was the first to take a low profile:

"We are dubbing lines."

As she spoke, she reached out her hand actively:

"Put the things aside for now, they're very heavy."

The attitude is very low.

Wang Sicong was a little surprised.

Obviously, as a "star", Tang Yan's low-profile politeness surprised him.

But his good self-cultivation allowed him to react immediately after the accident, politely stopped Tang Yan, and at the same time took the clothes from Wang Ying's hand:

"It's okay, Sister Tang, don't be so polite."

After Wang Sicong took over the bags of clothes, Wang Ying finally spoke:

"Teacher Tang is too polite."

After speaking, he quickly reached out to Wang Sicong:

"Wang Dabao, look..."

She didn't know what was in those bags, but there were already several red marks on her hands.

She said that, with the expression on her face that said it was okay to act coquettishly or to express grievance...Wang Sicong immediately melted.

But while Tang Yan maintained a polite smile, his nose moved.

She smelled the scheming scent of a winner.

Obviously, this girl is somewhat asserting her sovereignty.

His eyes swept over the faces of the "coquettish" girl and the man who was holding her hands and kneading them.

She silently raised the girl's threat level to the group of people "least to be messed with".

Not afraid.

But if she is offended, this girl who looks harmless but is hiding something behind her back will be unforgiving.

It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.

Regardless of whether she can be provoked or not, she can hide.

Besides...

She also has a boyfriend.

I asked for a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month, but today I am really stuck. I have been holding back 5,000 words for a whole day, and I am also drunk.
