MTL - I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad-Chapter 463 461. Do not sign a contract

   Chapter 463 461. Do not sign

  Strictly speaking, the Academy Awards this time is quite commemorative.

  Because this is the first time the two have walked the red carpet together.

   It is outrageous to say.

   It turned out to be the first time.

  At this moment, Xu Xin got out of the car, buttoned up under those dazzling spotlights, turned around and helped Yang Mi out.

  He heard a "click, click, click".

   There are also:

   "Yang Mi, look here!"

   "You two, look this way!"

   "Can you be more intimate!"

   Various utterances.

  Xu Xin was a little speechless...He thought that this really looked like he was entertaining himself to death.

And after the POSE was placed on the spot for less than ten seconds, after Huang Xiaoming and Liang Bingning also got off the car, after the two of them finished their poses, and the four of them got together to take a group photo, everyone went all the way along the red carpet. Walk inside the infield of the Central Grand Theater.

  Because the flashlight made it hard to see clearly, Xu Xin didn't see the fans on both sides of the road until he walked out of the area where the reporters were taking pictures.

   A group of people waved notebooks and pens waiting to sign.

  He’s talking to the fans…how can I say it.

   It doesn't matter.

   It’s not that he doesn’t care, it means that as long as everyone wants him to do it, he can do it.

  He doesn't have any special psychological burden or to maintain a high profile. Seeing other people holding up their notebooks, they kept yelling "Bingbing, Mimi, Brother Xiaoming", without thinking about why others didn't call their names, and walked there with their wives.

  Yang Mi was half a step behind him.

   Then she saw a scene that made her almost unable to maintain a dignified smile on her face.

  My brother reached for the notebook...the girl avoided it.

...

   "Poof..."

  She couldn't hold back, and wanted to laugh.

   But it was stopped immediately.

   Xu Xin was also a little embarrassed.

   Fortunately, I didn’t pick the other notebooks when they were handed over.

  After taking a copy, he wrote his name on it and was about to return it when he heard another sentence:

   "Mimi! Sign for Mimi!"

"okay."

  He obediently passed the notebook in his hand to Yang Mi again:

"Give."

  But Yang Mi also had five or six books in her hand, and she was speechless for a moment.

  But he saw the evil look on his brother's face.

   Obviously, he also heard the "poof" just now.

   Tut.

   You see, it's not good for "buddies" to be too familiar with each other.

  Everyone knows the basics, I know what you farted without taking off your pants.

  But no matter what, after signing more than a dozen autographs, Yang Mi forcibly dragged her eldest brother who was like a transport brigade and slipped away quickly.

  While walking, he muttered:

   "You wait! I will go back to the hotel at night."

"hey-hey."

  Xu Xin smiled and took her hand before walking to the autograph area.

  He didn't know the four Xiangjiang hosts either, but after signing his name on the autograph plate of the Golden Statue Award, he stood beside Yang Mi. Listen to the host ask her questions there.

  Yang Mi's answer is very official, but also very boring.

  Xu Xin himself is the same.

  He was asked what he expected to participate in the Academy Awards, and he replied: I hope everyone will bring more good movies, so that the movie market will prosper, and the filmmakers will get better and better.

  When asked how it felt to participate in the Academy Awards with Yang Mi for the first time, he replied: Very good, great, I like the atmosphere of the Academy Awards very much.

That's it.

  No nutritious answer.

   But his established image of the awards show is just that.

  This is not a place for expressing ambition or making news. Come with a peaceful mind, it's up to God whether you win the prize or not.

  Let a social terror person come to make some explosive points, or answer some questions with witty words...

  I think you are embarrassing me, Fat Tiger.

   After answering the question, it was Liang Bingning and Huang Xiaoming's turn to answer, so he stood aside and watched the way.

   I saw the crew of "The Thief of Time" at a glance.

  Director Luo Qicong and heroine Wu Junru walked in the front, waving to fans.

  He has seen this movie.

  In all honesty, it looks great.

   Wu Junru's contribution to acting is obvious to all.

  Perhaps because he happened to be a person who experienced that generation personally, the film "The Thief of Time", which tells the contradiction between the bottom people and the changing times, feels very sincere to him.

  Movies that impress people with sincerity often have a unique advantage in award selection.

  Thinking of this, he turned his head and glanced at Yang Mi and Liang Bingning.

  I always feel that the two of them are hanging.

   Immediately realized something, and suddenly showed a look of dumbfounded laughter.

   I didn't report much thought at first, why did I start to compare again at this juncture?

  He coughed lightly and cleared his mind. It just so happened that the question of the two people over there was also over, and the four of them entered the infield under the guidance of the host.

   found his seat quickly.

  …

  Actually, award shows are a boring and tiring activity.

  Of course, the premise of giving birth to this kind of mood is not to covet any awards.

  The arrangement of the Academy Awards for "The Wind" is quite flattering.

  Because Liang Bingning is also the heroine/supporting role of "Shinjuku Incident", "The Wind", and "October Siege", the three crews are arranged in a triangle, and the place reserved for her is the middle.

  With the help of this relationship, Xu Xin finally got in touch with the legendary "big brother".

   "Hello, brother, it's an honor to meet you."

   "Hahahaha~"

   Cheng Long smiled and shook hands with Xu Xin:

   "It's the second meeting, Director Xu. Last time at the Golden Rooster Awards, I couldn't get in touch because I was too busy. This time I finally met."

   After shaking hands with Xu Xin, he looked at Yang Mi again:

   "Sister Mi, we meet again."

  Hearing this title, Xu Xin was taken aback.

   But Yang Mi smiled and opened her hands:

   "Brother, long time no see!"

  Gracefully gave a hug.

  Xu Xin is really curious.

   "You guys met before?"

  Hearing this, Cheng Long looked at Yang Mi with a smile:

   "Did you tell Director Xu?"

   "No... I don't even remember the brand of the motorcycle. Brother, do you still remember?"

   "It seems to be called..."

   Cheng Long thought for a while and said:

   "Big money? Big money? Qianjiang?"

   "It seems to be."

  Yang Mi shook her head slightly, and said to Xu Xin:

  “In 2003, when I was in high school, I went to audition for a motorcycle brand’s advertising model. My eldest brother was the spokesperson, and then the advertisement was in the style of urban sportsmen and beautiful women. At that time, my eldest brother was so handsome…”

   "Hahahaha~"

   Regardless of whether it is sincere or flattering, Cheng Long is smiling very happily anyway.

   "When I went to the audition, my elder brother picked me right away."

   "Because you are the only girl inside who dared to talk to me after I appeared. She called me Big Brother, and after I asked Mimi's name, I called her Miss Mi."

  Yang Mi nodded, and explained to her husband with a smile:

"Yes, I was stupid at the time anyway, so I said hello to my brother. He took special care of me at the time. My salary in that commercial was originally only 600. My brother was 500,000. Then we finished shooting the commercial, and he asked me for my salary How much, after hearing that it was 600 yuan, I asked the director to add more money... But the director couldn't make up his mind, so my brother paid me 50,000 yuan out of his own pocket... Hehe, thank you brother!"

   "Hahahahaha~"

  Cheng Long seemed surprised that Yang Mi remembered it so clearly.

   But after hearing this, the expression on his face turned into a hearty smile with a hint of embarrassment.

   "You've grown up too... At that time, I remember you were with Dad, and your hair still had that kind of slanted bangs..."

   "Hey, yeah, I even have kids now."

   "Hahahahaha..."

   The greetings with Cheng Long became very pleasant after having the foundation of the fate and relationship of cooperation.

  Cheng Long sighed with emotion about Yang Mi's change, and at the same time pointed at his hair that had started to thin out, and told the two of them brightly:

   "Dyed, I have a lot of gray hair now."

  Yang Mi's words are quite unpleasant.

   After all, she remembers clearly the demeanor of the big brother with long hair in front of the camera.

  But as more and more people from the crew came, the "reminiscence" had to be temporarily suspended.

  Yang Mi and Xu Xin still received an invitation from Cheng Long, and they will sit together at the dinner later.

  For Cheng Long, Xu Xin's fan mentality is not as serious as Zhou Xingchi.

   Maybe it's because Cheng Long is too prolific? After becoming a director, he always felt that the other party's films were much weaker in terms of spiritual core and layering.

  Of course, comparing the spiritual level of Kung Fu movies with other movies is because he, the director, is delusional.

  It is true that Cheng Long's movies are a bit "shallow" in his opinion.

  Objectively, his achievement must be higher than that of Zhou Xingchi. But subjectively, he still likes the joys and sorrows of little people performed by Zhou Xingchi.

   So it is true that he is a fan of Cheng Long, but he is not a fan.

   While waiting like this, one after another, the entire infield was filled with people.

  With the appearance of host Zheng Danrui, the 29th Academy Awards officially kicked off.

  …

   "New Director" has nothing to do with Xu Xin.

   "Best Vision" was given to "Fengyun 2".

  The "Art Design" nominated by "The Wind" was given to "October Siege".

   As time passed, Xu Xin yawned a little.

how to say…

  Full screen of Hong Kong movies.

  People change like a horse on a horse.

  But a face from the mainland cannot be seen.

  Xu Xin felt a little bored.

  In these links one after another, finally the first award related to him appeared.

   Best Supporting Actress.

  Sister Bingbing was nominated by "October Siege".

   Also nominated are Li Yuchun, nicknamed "Brother Chun" by many netizens, Zhao Wei from "Red Cliff", and Ye Xuan from Gu Tianlei's thriller "Accident".

   Oh yes, there is another ***.

  Xu Xin has never watched these nominated films. But he summed it up... Sister Bingbing's "October Besieged City" doesn't have many scenes, but as far as these people are concerned, it should be enough, right?

  Zhao Wei, Li Yuchun, Ye Xuan... No matter what, these people can't beat Sister Bingbing, right?

   Just as he was thinking about it, the list of winners was read out on stage.

   "The winner of Best Supporting Actress is: "Accident", Ye Xuan."

  The magnificent music sounded instantly.

  The young face on the screen looked full of surprises and surprises.

  Xu Xin narrowed his eyes.

   In terms of acting skills, he can't comment because he hasn't seen the movie, but...

   "Xiangjiang actor?"

  Hearing this, Liang Bingning nodded, applauded, and responded:

"Um."

   "Is that so..."

  Xu Xin was also applauding, but after applauding, he covered his mouth and yawned.

Fine.

  Academy Awards…

   That's it.

  …

   "Best Supporting Actor" was given to Nicholas Tse, and "Actor" was Ren Dahua from "The Thief of Time". The actress is Hui Yinghong from "The Devil".

   "Best Director" is Chen Desen from "October Siege", and "October Siege" is given by "Best Film".

  Don’t talk about what the media said at the beginning of the announcement of the nominations... Yang Mi’s three gold medals, or Liang Bingning’s double gold medals, or "The Wind" versus "October Besieged City".

   Not even a single hair.

   Nothing.

   White play.

   When the overall list of winners was announced after the ceremony, Xu Xin glanced at it like this...

Hey.

really interesting.

  The entire list of winners was stunned, and no mainlander could find it.

   Either "The Thief of Time" or "October Besieged City", or "Red Cliff"...

  Also... okay.

   It's not wrong to lose.

   After all, it is the Hong Kong Film Awards.

   It is also a long experience.

   On the contrary, it was Yang Mi who looked at the list of winners and sneered.

   It doesn't really matter if she wins an Academy Award or not.

  But it brought back some bad memories.

   Really awesome...

   Are you really the same as the old and the young who have been stripped of their iron hats? You're all down and out, but you still have to hang a piece of pigskin on the door, and wipe your mouth with the pigskin when you go out, so that people can see the meatiness around your mouth and think how good you are?

   When she and her husband were walking outside together, feeling upset, she pressed his shoulder and whispered in her ear:

   "I think this Academy Award is about to become a joke."

   "..."

  Xu Xin shrugged casually without saying a word.

  Except for the Golden Horse, any domestic awards are quite ridiculous in his opinion.

   I just don’t know…whether Golden Horse will follow this old path.

   And if it really goes up... then it will be the biggest joke.

  In such a huge country, there is not even a single award that can be recognized...that would be too funny.

   The golden rooster is okay.

  The premise is that if it can be changed to be awarded once a year...

  Otherwise, there will still be one award every two years... so many movies get together.

  Good guy, what about raising Gu?

   Tut.

  …

  The dinner after the Academy Awards is still a cold meal.

   It was in the Royal Hotel where Xu Xin and the others stayed.

   It's ironic to say that, the male actor is okay, and there is no pressure to dress. But in order to make her curves beautiful, the actress can eat very few meals throughout the day.

  Everything is for walking the red carpet at the ceremony, so that everyone can see your body curve.

   After all, the red carpet is over, and it's time to catch up with this communication-based cold meal.

   It's enough to suffer if you can't leave anything in your stomach all day long.

   During this dinner, no matter whether it is the director, investors or actors, they are all the objects of wandering. Xu Xin is like this, and so is Yang Mi.

  In this huge Vanity Fair, "Director Xu" has received far more attention than expected.

  This is true for both men and women.

  Yang Mi also understood this truth, so after entering the banquet hall, the two separated with their assistants.

  She is an actress, and the people around her are smaller after all.

   Holding a glass of champagne, eating a few pieces of cake. The truth is, she was very hungry, so hungry that she wanted to hug the suckling pig's head on the table and chew on it.

  But no matter how socially awesome a person is, he really can't do anything to make himself lose his position on this occasion.

After eating something to fill her belly, and chatting with this director, that producer, etc. for a while, she looked around and finally found a small round table, holding champagne and talking to no one. What kind of man is he? After drinking a glass of wine, he politely bid farewell to Tang Yan.

  So, she walked over directly:

   "Sugar sugar."

   "Hey... honey... honey."

  Finally he called out the name, and the smile on Tang Yan's face became more natural.

  Yang Mi sat directly opposite her and raised her glass.

"Ding".

  The wine glasses touched lightly, and after the two drank a glass of bubbly champagne, Yang Mi looked around:

   "Why didn't I see your manager?"

   "Over there."

   Tang Yan pointed to the distance.

  Yang Mi saw Ji Rujing who was chatting with several people.

  But she asked Ji Rujing for a reason. After opening the topic, she asked with a smile:

"how are things?"

   "...it's pretty good. How about you?"

   "I'm fine, how long has it been since we met?"

"Well…"

  Tang Yan pondered for a while and said:

   "It's been a long time. I haven't seen you since the filming of "Fairy Sword"."

  Speaking of this, she may feel that such a chat is too pretentious, so she added another sentence:

   "But there is no way, you are so busy, I dare not look for you if I want to come out for dinner, I am afraid that you are filming or preparing a script, which will disturb your mood..."

"hey-hey."

  Yang Mi didn't continue to chat, but just said in a familiar way:

"I've been very busy for the past two years...in fact, there was a pregnancy period in between. You don't know, once I got pregnant, I... didn't want to come out. I'm twins, so I feel very tired. I feel uncomfortable when I move, I'm bored at home every day. Even if you call me, I really don't want to go out... Pregnancy is too difficult."

  As soon as these words were spoken, both parties gave each other a reason why they stopped contacting after they left the film crew.

  Let the other party step on their own steps and walk down.

  So, Tang Yan nodded:

   "Yes, last time I saw Xu... the director specifically asked about your health. I also said to go and see you... How are you recovering now?"

   "It's pretty good. No, they're all out to work."

""the Grand Master"?"

"Um."

  Yang Mi responded:

   "I've been filming in Guangdong recently... What about you, you haven't moved this year, right?"

   "No... there will be a TV series in a few days."

   "From Tang Dynasty?"

   "No, other companies."

   "Oh... eh? When will your contract expire? Are you going to sign with Tang Ren?"

  Hearing this, Tang Yan didn't think much about it.

   It is a foregone conclusion that she left, and her good relationship with Tang people is well known in the circle, so let alone Yang Mi, she has answered this question many times for others.

  It's just... She answered in the affirmative before.

   And facing Yang Mi this time...

  She thought for a while and said:

   "Not sure yet."

  If someone else answered this, they would definitely look surprised.

  But Tang Yan couldn't see the slightest surprise in the other party, on the contrary, there was a kind of "fascinated calm" as it should be:

   "Well, I understand."

   "...?"

   Tang Yan was taken aback.

  What... you get it?

  I am because of the leadership of Shanghai Film Studio, what do you understand?

   After thinking about it, she asked:

   "What do you understand?"

   "Yo, you still test me?"

  Yang Mi looked a little speechless:

"What a simple truth, children can understand it. The resources of the Tang people are all in the TV industry, and you are now a film and television amphibious. If you sign with the Tang people, you are nothing more than developing in the TV industry, and you are still alone in the film industry But the problem is that you don't sign Tangren, you also have a TV show, and now you only have contacts in the film industry. Isn't that what you mean?"

   "..."

  Is she right?

right.

   Tang Ren really couldn't provide her with any movie resources.

   But what she and Ji Rujing discussed before is the same.

  The two felt that finding a company with a guaranteed bottom line and running other resources on their own would give them the greatest degree of freedom.

   In terms of contract, I am not bound to find film resources, and while I am independent to develop the market, I can still have Tang Ren, not to mention one TV series every year, but one or two popular TV series every two years to support and maintain popularity.

  This is how she and the team made the decision.

   But after Yang Mi said these words, Tang Yan felt a little strange.

  Obviously the meaning is the same in some respects, but why did it come out of Mimi’s mouth, as if he could live well without Tang people’s “guarantee”?

  What she lacks most now is works that can make her screen image be remembered by others.

   In other words, the only TV series that is well-known to the audience is Tang Ren's "Sword of Sword and III".

   As far as other resources are concerned, she is still in the stage of competing with others.

  Movies are like this, TV series are like this.

  Thinking of this, she couldn't help but say:

   "Don't think too highly of me. I don't have anything other than "Chinese Paladin III" now."

   "Not now, doesn't mean there won't be in the future, right?"

  Yang Mi shrugged:

   "Come on little by little. Didn't you find that... are we in the same situation?"

   "???"

   Tang Yan was a little confused.

  Sister, how can I compare with you?

  Xu Xin is your husband, not mine...

   Looking at her absurd eyes, Yang Mi still nodded:

   "I'm serious. Think about when I was filming "Wulin Biography". At that time, the company also asked me to renew my contract, but I didn't. Do you know why I didn't renew?"

"…Why?"

   "Because of the newsletter. Do you know the story of that white Audi?"

  As soon as Yang Mi said this, Tang Yan nodded:

   "I know, I read this gossip. It is said that after Zhou Xun won the award, the organizer rewarded a car. She held the key and didn't let it go...the company still took it away."

"right."

  Yang Mi responded:

"At the end of 2006, when Zhou Xun's contract expired in 6 days, Rong Xinda held a dinner party. She was also there, and I was dating Xu Xin at the time, and the movie "Secret" was not filmed. "Wulin Biography" has just finished filming and hasn't been released yet. During the dinner, he called me, and I went to the corridor. Then Zhou Xun also came here to smoke, and we just happened to meet and chatted about the contract. You Do you know what advice she gave me?"

"…What?"

   "Don't renew."

   "..."

  In Tang Yan's silence, Yang Mi shrugged:

"I had two years left on my contract, so I asked her: Why didn't you renew the contract? That's the story she told me... At first glance, it didn't really have anything to do with me, right? I didn't think much about it at the time. I was puzzled. Because I was not popular at that time, I asked her: If I don’t renew my contract, what should I do if I don’t have resources?”

   "What did she say?"

   "She said she didn't know."

   "..."

  Looking at Tang Yan's speechless appearance, Yang Mi smiled and said:

"Don't believe it, she really said that. But what I thought at the time was: This person really doesn't feel pain in his back when he stands up and talks. You leave the company after you become famous. The sky is high outside and the sea is wide like a fish. I ?”

   "...you were looking for a girl back then."

   "It's true that I'm seeking a girl, but Xu Xin won this girl for me. What does it have to do with the company? Don't you also have Zixuan?"

   "..."

   Tang Yan was silent again.

   "I was thinking at the time, if I leave the company, will I be able to survive in the future?"

   "Then when did you decide not to renew the contract?"

"When the company wanted to exchange resources with me. It was "Dream of Red Mansions" broadcast in June. The company told me that if the contract was renewed, it would give me the role of Lin Daiyu. If I didn't renew the contract, I would get nothing. From then on From then on, I was certain that I would not renew the contract."

   "Was "The Secret" released at that time?"

   "No, but "Wulin Biography" became popular. After having a work that is remembered by others, I decided to do the rest by myself."

  Hearing this, Tang Yan sighed.

"well…"

  Looking at Yang Mi, her tone was full of envy:

   "But, Mimi, don't forget, you have Xu Xin."

   "That's true. But when I decided not to renew the contract, Xu Xin and I were just boyfriend and girlfriend. Who would dare to promise him the future?"

   "Then you two are also boyfriend and girlfriend, aren't you?"

"That's definitely what I said... But Tangtang, have you ever thought about it, what if I had renewed my contract in advance? You need to know this timeline. When the company told me that I would renew my contract and let me play Lin Daiyu, "Secret" But it hasn’t been released. If I renew my contract in advance, then whether it’s "Secret" or "The Wind"...the one standing in front of you now is Rong Xinda——Yang Mi."

  Yang Mi picked up the champagne glass again, which meant that we should touch each other.

"Ding."

  Among the sounds of the cups clashing, she pressed the mouth of the cup to her lips, and she said:

   "So, sometimes I am very grateful to Zhou Xun. Otherwise, this step is wrong... Who knows if I renewed my contract... or if I used to be?"

   "..."

  Reason, does Tang Yan understand?

Understood.

  Yang Mi is telling herself not to sign a contract with Tangren.

   It couldn't be simpler.

  But after she understood this truth, she suddenly felt a little puzzled.

  She...why meddle in my affairs?

   Since when did you start paying attention to me so much?

  Youshuang is why you came to find me at this juncture, no matter whether it is a close relationship or something, the meaning is the same inside and out:

   "Don't renew."

   The meaning has been conveyed.

  But... why?

  She couldn't figure it out.

  Do I renew my contract or not...what does it matter to her?

   Tang Yan's eyes were full of confusion.

  At this time, Yang Mi's voice sounded again:

   "Are you curious why I came here to tell you this?"

   "..."

   Tang Yan didn't answer, but his doubts were beyond words.

  But when she looked at the four young actresses opposite her...and even one of the popular actresses in domestic entertainment, she suddenly found that the eyes of the other party had become a little meaningful.

A kind... definitely not the honey who calls herself "Tangtang", and it is definitely not "actor-Yang Mi", but a kind of unknown origin, but very familiar...but I can't remember who it is on The kind of temperament I had seen before was suddenly revealed along with this look.

  Her eyes are long and narrow.

  It is full of deep meaning.

   And this deep meaning made Tang Yan subconsciously want to put his legs together and sit up straight.

  ? ? ?

  She was at a loss for a while.

  At this time, she heard a sentence:

   "Because, the call from Shanghai Film Studio was made by me."

   "!"

   Tang Yan's eyes suddenly widened.

  Looked at the opposite woman with a hint of disbelief.

Varied…

What! ?

   Under her horrified gaze, Yang Mi chuckled lightly:

"Not letting you take "Weird Man" is naturally on my side. But in the final analysis, Tangtang, we have come through trouble together. There are some things, I know you don't understand, but I don't want you to If you have any doubts in your heart, you will be a human being trembling all day long. So this is why I came to you today."

   "??????"

   Under Tang Yan's staring eyes that almost made his eyeballs fall out, the superior person on the opposite side shook the last third of the champagne in the glass.

  Orange-yellow bubbles floated out of the upper layer of the liquor and began to transform into transparent colorful bubbles.

  Crystal clear, like a dream.

   "Remember what I said just now? Zhou Xun said to me personally: Don't sign the contract. I didn't understand it at the time, but I understand it later."

"Now."

   "I send this to you too."

  She held up her wine glass and approached Tang Yan's glass on the table:

   "Don't sign up."

  The voice fell.

"Ding."

   Wine glass clinking lightly.

  She held the cup and saluted each other from a distance:

   "We will keep in touch in the future."

  The last drink was swallowed by this woman like a swallow.

   Put down the glass.

  Leave in style.

   Only Tang Yan's unbelievable gaze and dull expression remained.

   Can't recover for a long time.
