I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 146 144. A disaster

For premieres or film critics, they are somewhat privileged.

The film will be released in the early morning of the 14th, but the reason why the premiere will be held in the studio of Yanjing Film Factory is that many people cannot stay up until 12 o'clock. In addition, since they are all "insiders", they will go in advance. Some.

The premiere started at 8 o'clock, and the excitement lasted for more than one to two hours. After the premiere, the film was "screened in advance" so that some invited film critics could go back earlier than the audience and write the next article. Movie reviews that are enough to win eyeballs.

Therefore, today these people can truly see the first release of "Golden Armor".

But before that, they still have to experience a noisy premiere.

Yes, Yang Mi's concept of this premiere is noisy.

There are more hosts than guests... I just want to ask if you have seen it before.

Who are the actors and directors here today?

Zhang Yimou, Zhou Jielun, Yang Mi, Ni Dahong, Chen Jin, Liu Ye, Qin Junjie.

A total of 7 people gathered.

But there are nine owners.

Not to mention Guo Degang, He Jiong, and Wu Zhongxian, as well as Phoenix TV, Movie Channel, and several other hosts.

Shen Xing of Phoenix TV, Jingwei of Movie Channel, Aya from Wanwan, Zeng Baoyi, Tao Jingying, and Cai Kangyong, who is also a famous speaker like Wu Zhongxian.

Nine hosts, seven actors...

Just think about it, how noisy this is.

Guo Degang is particularly popular this year, but the problem is that he talks about cross talk.

When he takes the stage to host, you don't feel that he is hosting at all. All kinds of jokes are also used in cross talk, as if this place has become a Tianqiao Theater.

He Jiong has a very flexible and changeable formal entertainment hosting style.

Wu Zhongxian and Cai Kangyong clearly have the Barra spirit of Wanwan host...

Although these people can be invited, plus the well-known domestic producers, film critics, and various big names in the entertainment industry sitting below today, including Jet Li, the lineup is quite luxurious.

But as one of the actors on stage, Yang Mi felt very confused.

The initiator was actually Guo Degang.

Never mind what others think, at least, that's what she thinks.

She likes Guo Degang very much, there is no doubt about it. After all... the art of cross talk, as a native of Yanjing, a generation who grew up listening to masters such as Ma Sanli, Hou Baolin, and Ma Ji, I must have a heartfelt love for the revival of this art. On.

So, she took her boyfriend to listen to Deyun Club. Even if it was just a misunderstanding, she now regards Shaobing as her own cousin.

As long as you go, you must take your children and give them a good rub.

As for Aiwujiwuxia, logically speaking, her liking for Guo Degang must be far more than ordinary people.

This is also true.

In her mind, Teacher Guo really had nothing to say at the level of cross talk.

Those crosstalks were so much fun, he was such a genius!

But just as powerful as Newton, he once put his watch in a pot and boiled it. No one is perfect. Crosstalk has given Guo Degang so many things, and it is bound to take something away...

For example, his hosting skills.

From the beginning of Yanjing TV's "Starry Night Story Show", Yang Mi felt that his hosting was pretty bad.

Let’s talk about cross talk…not cross talk.

Let’s talk about the host…but it’s still a cross talk.

She felt that the other party's hosting level was far lower than everyone else present today... But, for some reason, the organizer chose him as the main host.

This is quite outrageous.

He Jiong, Wu Zhongxian, and Cai Kangyong were left alone, and Guo Degang was asked to be the main guest...

Even though Yang Mi felt very close to Guo Degang because of the sesame cakes... But she still thought in her heart that when she was filming "The Golden Armor" in Hengdian, she huddled on the bed with her boyfriend who had just established a relationship, watching Yan Yan on TV. When the first episode of Beijing Satellite TV's "Starry Night Story Club" was aired, my boyfriend commented:

"Can we stop watching it?"

"Why don't you look?"

"Because I think his hosting is lousy. He is obviously talking about cross talk, but he is hosting it. It makes me feel awkward..."

At that time, Yang Mi felt that her boyfriend was exaggerating this comment.

But now that I think about it, it’s absolutely true.

In line with the old saying in cross talk, it is true that every other line does not make a profit.

It's embarrassing, don't do it.

Why do you say that? Because Guo Degang's hosting style has a very strong cross talk style.

And what is the style of cross talk?

Leaving aside this broad proposition for now, there is a very important basic skill in cross talk, which is called "don't drop your words on the ground".

It means that when others say something, you have to follow it.

Don't let others finish talking and you will have no voice.

And Guo Degang's style is this style.

At this moment, Liu Ye, her, and Qin Junjie were already on stage.

The original scheduled session was for Wu Zhongxian, Aya, and Tao Jingying to come for interviews. After each person asked a question, the audience attending the premiere today asked a question, answered it, and then left the stage. Then these three hosts replaced the next group. The intervening scenes were left to Guo Degang and Jingwei.

To know……

This is a live broadcast from Phoenix TV.

It's not a recording.

All links must be perfectly integrated. You can't show the audience how these people left the show or how other hosts came out from the backstage in the live broadcast footage, right?

That won't work.

But the problem is that in this kind of live broadcast session, where the outside is loose and the inside is tight, everyone only needs to do their own thing.

Oh, but I can’t.

I don’t know if Guo Degang was really dazzled by the so-called "who is the number one mouthpiece" news hyped by the media, or if he was really just having fun.

Originally, I was a good partner with Jingwei and waited for the sequel, and that was it.

But... when Yang Mi, Liu Ye, and Qin Junjie came on stage, and after the host introduced them, it was time to take their seats. Originally, Wu Zhongxian continued his own style of making jokes as the host, but Guo Degang could always hear "Well" , um, yes, oh?" This kind of um, this is the answer.

To say...it's actually nothing. Wu Zhongxian's hosting style is here. The more lively it is, the better he can handle it. Guo Degang's answer also ensured that the atmosphere would not be cold, and they complemented each other well.

It was going well at first, but when it was the audience's turn to ask questions, something went wrong.

First of all, the audience didn’t know whether they were dumbfounded, not fully prepared for the information, or they were nervous.

When Wu Zhongxian said that the audience could ask questions, and he was asked to stand up first, the question was as follows:

"I would like to ask the three newcomers, did they do the fighting scenes themselves or did they use stand-ins in the film?"

The question is simple, right?

Very simple.

But the thing is...he used the term "three newcomers."

Yang Mi is a newcomer, okay.

Qin Junjie is a newcomer, so that's okay.

But the problem is...

Liu Ye is such a great actor!

As soon as these words came out, Yang Mi instinctively turned to look at Liu Ye.

Liu Ye himself was stunned.

But here comes the weirder one.

Because according to the script, after the question was asked, Wu Zhongxian should summarize the question and then choose one of the three guests to answer.

As for Guo Degang, he answered first:

"Okay, that's a very good question."

It doesn't matter. Just answer the call. Just catch it and give it to Wu Zhongxian.

And Wu Zhongxian’s voice indeed sounded:

"Oh? Are there any substitutes?"

He was about to turn around and remind Liu Ye to answer this question...

When Liu Ye was confused as to why he had become a "newcomer", Guo Degang suddenly said:

"No answer allowed!"

You can say that he can shake off his baggage or make jokes.

When these words came out, they were very abrupt.

Wu Zhongxian, who had just turned around, turned his head in surprise:

"Um?"

Aya and Tao Jingying were also a little unresponsive.

Then I heard Guo Degang say again:

"It's a confidential matter, next one."

No, brother...even though I know you are joking.

But the premiere will answer these questions.

You don’t answer, don’t respond to the audience?

This is a live broadcast!

Then, Wu Zhongxian instinctively stopped him:

"Eh eh eh..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Guo Degang said again:

"How do you want people to answer this question?"

As soon as the words came out, something seemed wrong.

What does it mean?

Are you implying that we are all using stand-ins?

Aren't you making trouble...

Yang Mi was speechless for a moment.

During the filming of Golden Armor, she did all the scenes herself, including the scene where she was tied up by several men in black and tried to cut her into pieces.

The scene required her to be tied up hand and foot and pulled up by the man in black.

Although he also had a wire hanging from his waist, for the sake of plot tension, his hands and feet were strangled with bleeding marks during the performance.

Are my efforts just ignored by your jokes?

Are you making trouble?

However, Wu Zhongxian is an old host after all, and his skills are still there. Seeing that these words will lead the three people to "disaster", he quickly waved his hand:

"Hey, Guo Degang, I think this question is very good. Why don't you let me answer it?"

But after he finished speaking, Guo Degang suddenly walked towards the middle of the stage, holding the microphone:

"Why do you think this topic is good?"

As he walked, he asked.

As he walked down, not to mention Wu Zhongxian, Jingwei, Tao Jingying, and Aya were also stunned.

"Hey, don't come down here when you get the chance."

Wu Zhongxian quickly stopped him, hoping that he would go back.

This is a live broadcast, brother, what are you doing?

The director must have turned green backstage right now, right?

When Guo Degang heard this, he said:

"Didn't you call me that?"

After saying that, he turned around and hooked his hand at Jingwei who was also stunned:

"Come on, come down."

"Well……"

Jingwei glanced at the camera instinctively, but at this moment the lighting engineer had turned down the lights, and she had to follow quickly. At the same time, she added:

"This link has been designed for a long time."

At this time, several hosts could only make more mistakes and faced it together.

The five hosts gathered in the middle of the stage, and the actors were left alone.

"Hey, don't come down."

Wu Zhongxian also tried to get Guo Degang to go back.

"No."

As soon as Guo De finished speaking, Wu Zhongxian came forward to greet him:

"Everyone has agreed that you are not allowed to come down."

"I'm afraid they can't see me..."

With that said, Guo Degang directly faced the audience:

"If you want me to come down, please give me some applause."

What can be done?

Applause.

Sparse applause broke out.

Wu Zhongxian took advantage of this moment, took away the microphone, and whispered:

"Live broadcast, De Gang, live broadcast!"

Guo Degang was stunned...

When the applause died down, Wu Zhongxian picked up the microphone again:

"Hey, that's it, De Gang..."

He glanced at Jingwei, who had just moved Baba to the side of Guo Degang, his expression a little unnatural, and continued:

"I mean, I should answer this question for everyone. Although the filming of this scene has been completed, we should let everyone know the difference between the front and back scenes."

"Oh~~~"

Guo Degang "suddenly realized" and nodded:

"Okay, then I won't refute you for this face."

No matter how you hear this, something feels wrong.

But it’s a live broadcast right now, so I can only come here by mistake.

As for Wu Zhongxian, he had done his best to help Guo Degang, and after finishing helping Guo Degang, the microphone was given to Liu Ye:

"Come on, Liu Ye."

It means you answer this question.

Liu Ye was actually quite confused, but he still asked politely:

"Do I need to stand up?"

"No no no..."

Just when Wu Zhongxian was about to speak, Guo Degang said "Bang!" again:

"You stand taller than all three of them."

You said you can just let the guests answer questions now.

What are you always robbing?

Jingwei's face turned completely green.

But facing the camera, she did not dare to remind Guo Degang directly.

I was afraid that this person would lose his mind and do something outrageous again.

Wu Zhongxian can only continue to wipe Guo Degang’s butt:

"You're 1.86 meters tall, how annoying~~~"

As he spoke, he patted Liu Ye on the shoulder to express his apology.

Liu Ye also laughed awkwardly.

But Wu Zhongxian is not the type to always suffer. Guo Degang said that he was short. After patting Liu Ye on the shoulder, he pointed at Guo Degang again:

"Ask Guo Degang."

It means "Ask the shortest Guo Degang if you want to stand up."

Logically speaking, between the two of you, you can do one thing to me, and I can do something to you, and that's it.

But Guo Degang doesn't suffer.

When has his talk ever been at a disadvantage?

Isn't the most often said sentence on the cross talk stage "When it comes to cursing on the street, cross talk must be the ancestor"?

Then he gave another sentence:

"No, actually, these are only three. Aren't there seven in total tonight? Those ones are at Snow White's place."

As soon as these words were spoken...

Jingwei, Tao Jingying, and Aya all looked dumbfounded.

Who are the seven people talking about?

Need to ask?

These three, plus Zhang Yimou, Ni Dahong, Chen Jin, and Jay Chou in a wheelchair backstage...

Isn’t that exactly seven?

Forget it if you say it to others... Do you dare to say it to Zhang Yimou? ? ? ?

Brother, do you want your life?

Are you really not afraid of offending people?

Yang Mi, who was silently acting as a transparent person, knew that... she really couldn't go on like this.

Because she had already seen, right over where Guo Degang was standing, the director, assistant director, and stage manager holding a big book for the premiere all came out!

The director was so angry that he took off his headphones.

"well……"

She sighed inwardly and directly picked up the microphone on her lap:

"Actually, it's like this."

Her voice itself has a hint of nasality, which is very recognizable.

As soon as she spoke, Wu Zhongxian turned his head quickly as if he had met a savior:

"Oh? Our Jiang Chan has something to say!"

Yang Mi did have something to say, but when she spoke, her eyes looked directly at Guo Degang.

She couldn't imitate her boyfriend's expression... just by staring at others, he would have a dazzling expression.

But she expected Guo Degang to show the minimum etiquette.

You can answer when a man talks.

When lesbians speak, please be polite.

Let me quickly pull back from this premiere that was gradually heading towards disaster.

Although she has anticipated that there may be news about herself "stealing the limelight" tomorrow.

but……

Who made you the cookie master?

Therefore, she locked her eyes on Guo Degang's face and said word by word:

"First of all, I want to correct Teacher Guo and the audience just now."

As soon as the words came out, Guo Degang was stunned.

He had a good impression of this girl and thought she was very smart.

So I chose to give face.

But... what does correcting the problem mean?

Then, Yang Mi raised her hand to the audience:

"It's like this. The audience member just asked if the three of us used stand-ins in the martial arts scene, right? One thing is that he defined it wrong. First of all, we are not three newcomers."

She shook her head, and Liu Ye suddenly smiled after being stunned.

Including a group of film critics in the audience all smiled and praised.

"Teacher Liu Ye was the Best Actor at the 2001 Golden Horse Award in Wanwan Province and the Best Actor at the 2004 Golden Rooster Award... Audiences, don't be too nervous. But this also shows from the side that what everyone remembers is your role, Brother Ye, and Not the actor itself. I think this is the greatest compliment for you, right?"

"...ha~"

The moment he heard this sentence, Liu Ye was happy.

He held up the microphone and nodded naturally:

"Yes, yes, as an actor, my acting skills are recognized, but I can't be recognized in reality. Personally, I'm really happy."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The other hosts were a little stunned.

Then I heard Yang Mi continue:

"As for the drama "Golden Armor", whether it's newcomers like me and Junjie, or teachers Liu Ye, and teacher Jay Chou, and even teachers Ni Dahong, Chen Jin, and two teachers Zhou Renfa and Gong Li who are not here today , we are all the same. If we can do without a substitute, we will definitely choose to go into battle in person. Because this is not only a tribute to the movie and Director Zhang, but also to the predecessor of the script of "The Golden Armor", Tianchao Drama The awe of the immortal masterpiece "Thunderstorm" in history. Thank you all."

After finishing speaking, he put down the microphone, stood up, politely covered his chest with his left hand, and bowed to the audience.

Backstage.

"call……"

Jay Chou, who was waiting in a wheelchair, heard a long sigh.

Turning around and looking...

It came from the director next to me.

Then, the director covered his headset, listened, and nodded:

"clear……"

After finishing speaking, he said to Zhang Yimou:

"Director Zhang, you and a few others may have to go on stage early, and the stage was delayed for some time..."

"good."

Zhang Yimou, who had no expression during the whole process, responded.

The director looked at the hosts standing next to him with the same ever-changing expressions and said:

"Please follow the script and conduct the corresponding steps."

The tone is neither light nor serious.

But for the hosts He Jiong and Cai Kangyong, everyone knows that the director dare not say this.

The only one who can say this is the director who took off his headset in anger just now.

"well……"

As the host of today's live broadcast platform, Shen Xing of Fenghuang TV sighed.

But He Jiong on the side was always staring at the girl who had been sitting there like a little flower after answering the question that Liu Ye was supposed to answer.

There was a look of interest in his eyes.

…

The disastrous issue between Guo Degang and Wu Zhongxian is finally over.

Liu Ye, Qin Junjie, and Yang Mi walked in front, followed by the other hosts.

As the saying goes, be a person on stage and off stage.

Everyone who was making jokes on the stage just now, now that they came off the stage... looked a little strange.

But something was wrong, but no one said anything.

Everyone else looked silent.

Why should someone who is not related to you give guidance on your future?

There is a pit, watching you jump.

There is a river, watching you drown.

Who asked you to start first?

If you take someone else's job, no matter what your motive is, you are breaking the rules.

And the consequences of bad rules are... Whether it's Phoenix TV or today's insiders, whoever wants to cooperate with Guo Degang in the future may have to think twice.

Ironic?

Quite ironic.

Everyone who comes here today is here to support Director Zhang's movie.

But Guo Degang, who could have revealed himself, suddenly closed the door to the film and television industry because he said he didn't like to suffer losses...

Who wouldn’t think it’s outrageous if I let him go?

But unfortunately, no one told him.

Whether it’s Wanwan’s host, everyone else, or even the director, they just said this calmly:

"Teacher Guo, the director hopes that you can follow the script for a while, and you can give some of your words to other hosts, and don't rush so much."

Just like that, it was folded.

Yang Mi didn’t say anything either.

It's not that she can't speak, but she's a soft-spoken person. Why should she preach to someone older than herself? Whether it sounds good or not is one thing, and whether people will listen to it is another.

Don't hold a grudge against you then, so why bother?

Therefore, she just stayed with Zeng Jia honestly, watching the actors contribute an a cappella vocal performance during the break, and Shen Teng next to her performed there. He also took the time to look at Wu Zhongxian who had hardly communicated with Jay Chou after he got off the stage... He was thinking about what was going on between these two people.

"Gift~"

Shen Teng, who had become the head chamberlain, gave an order, and the a cappella group, which Yang Mi didn't know where, started singing.

Looking at Shen Teng's back, Yang Mi said to Zeng Jia, who had been standing with Shen Teng just now:

"Sister Zeng, does the company want to sign him? Or should you..."

"without."

Zeng Jia shook his head.

"Cao Lei was the first person I worked on, so I have a deeper impression of him and Shen Teng. Because Shen Teng was the only person who spoke to me when I was working on Cao Lei. I asked him just now, and he Now we have a small drama club called Happy Mahua... we just care about each other."

"Little drama club?... Drama club?"

"Um."

"That's it..."

The girl nodded:

"Then sell a few favors, and it will be easier to talk to you in the future. He seems to be very independent. If you invite him to the company, with the company's style, he will definitely not accept it. But as a friend, he should be pretty good."

"……Um."

Zeng Jia deeply agreed with Yang Mi's words.

This girl does have a cleverness in her behavior that ordinary people don't have.

For example, to Shen Teng, or just now on stage.

Therefore, Zeng Jia also believed in the girl's judgment.

Then, after the performance on the stage was over, He Jiong and others began to take the stage.

Yang Mi said:

"Then I'll go back and wait. It's still a bit cold here."

"Well, go ahead."

Yang Mi returned to the waiting room, put on her down jacket, and started chatting with Xu Xin about what happened on stage just now.

Xu Xin also got off work, but he didn't watch any live broadcasts on Phoenix TV. Instead, he continued to draw the shots one by one in the study room, making preparations for "The Secret That Cannot Be Tellable".

He was not interested in what his girlfriend said about Guo Degang.

He believes in keeping a distance between the artist and the audience.

Although he liked Guo Degang's cross talk very much, he was not interested in gossiping about who the other party was in private.

Just perform on stage.

What business does it have to do with him being a good person off stage?

Just like that, the premiere finally ended.

At 10 o'clock on time, "A City Full of Golden Armor" was released.

Then, two hours later, in major theaters in Yanjing and even across the country, moviegoers who came to watch the movie because of Jay Chou, Zhang Yimou and others all showed surprised looks.

Looking at the rapid drum beats, the big waves filling the screen...

Completely numb...

This...what the hell is this?

Be it Gong Li... or this girl named Yang Mi.

Wave……

Is it so big? ? ? ? ?

…

"Large-scale chorus martial arts group gymnastics stage drama Ancient Thunderstorm - Zhang Yimou's new film is difficult to describe in one sentence"

"Why are unprecedented domestic film productions so vulgar? 》

"Golden Armor?" "thunderstorm"? No, "Thunderstorm" is definitely not the case"

"Jay Chou's acting skills have made remarkable progress, and the box office of "The Golden Jacket" broke the domestic record on the first day"

"Movies are not about selling meat, and masterpieces should not be interpreted in this way - On "The City of Golden Armor"

"Mou Girl Yang Mi's performance is eye-catching, and the collision between old and new Mou Girls is quite exciting!" 》

After the end of December 14th, when Yang Mi had moved to Taipei to practice the context of her lines, the nationwide release of "The Golden Armor" broke the Chinese box office record for domestic movies on the first day and first week.

But its evaluation has always been on the cusp of good and bad.

Admittedly, Da Bo is very enjoyable to watch.

But after watching it, I still won’t stop others from calling it a “bad movie.”

Most of the blame for bad movies refers to the bold and avant-garde clothing in the movie.

It's not an exaggeration to say that she's showing off her breasts.

The contradictions are mainly concentrated here, and countless film critics or people in the cultural circles are criticizing it.

And the audience is also criticizing the movie as bad.

Unfortunately, the box office was extremely high...

It seems very weird and weird.

Xu Xin also went to see it, and on the 15th, he contributed two movie tickets.

And when he saw the scene between Gong Li and Jay Chou, who was embellished with gauze, he subconsciously clenched his fists in the dark screening room.

In the picture, Gong Li, dressed in white gauze, has faded away from all her splendor and is replaced by the endless tenderness belonging to her "mother".

At this time, he suddenly heard a voice:

"Wow, Gong Li is so beautiful."

I don’t know who said that.

But his face suddenly felt a little hot.

I couldn't tell whether I was excited or ashamed.

only……

His heart beat extremely fast.

My movie... no, the first time the movie scenes I shot appeared in a movie theater, it was in a movie that was released around the world...

When I think of this...

"Hiss~~~"

A shiver from his soul made him ignore all the plots of the movie that followed.

Whether it is reasonable or unreasonable.

They are no longer in his eyes.

He just sat on the chair, looking straight at the screen...

But his thoughts have already wandered to unknown places.

but……

He became more and more certain of one thing.

He loves making movies...

I love the feeling of being watched, watched, and judged by everyone when I take pictures of myself.

Can't help myself!

As for whether "Golden Armor" is bad or not...

He didn't feel anything anymore.

Is it important?

unimportant.

…

My girlfriend is gone.

The box office of "Golden Armor" exceeded 100 million.

It was also released globally overseas.

However, the overseas box office performance was somewhat unsatisfactory.

More than $6 million in the first week...

But Xu Xin didn't know what Director Zhang was thinking, because on the fifth day after attending the domestic premiere, Director Zhang went abroad in time for the North American release.

First North America, then Europe.

As a Christmas "New Year's film", The Golden Jacket obviously has a heavy publicity task both at home and abroad. And after he finishes promoting the movie, he will go directly to the Met to rehearse the opera "Qin Shi Huang".

Similarly, before leaving, after two consecutive days of meetings to confirm in all aspects the opening ceremony plan with the four major inventions as the core, including 27 small projects, all "perfect", the Olympic opening and closing ceremony creative team The plan was also formally submitted to the organizing committee.

At the moment when the work that everyone had been busy with for more than half a year was submitted, all the tension and anxiety were released.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and got drunk at a certain restaurant that night.

Then, Xu Xin also boarded a plane to Wanwan Province on the night before Christmas.

As per the old rules, please give me a monthly ticket for 14,000! ! ! ! This premiere of Lao Guo is really hard to describe...
