Night, 11 o'clock.

Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli, whose faces were slightly red, returned to the hotel room.

As soon as they returned to the house, while they were changing shoes, Sun Ting and Wu Qiqi had already taken out two sets of clothes:

"Aunt Liu, this is your outfit for tomorrow. The Hong Kong media took photos of you and Sister Yifei traveling together a few days ago. They all said that Sister Yifei's beauty was passed down to you. So I communicated with Zhang Jiao here.

After a while, I will help you choose clothes with more elegant colors that can reflect your temperament.

".good."

Liu Xiaoli continued to nod.

Wu Qiqi also took out Liu Yifei's clothes.

Then he said:

"Sister, my appointment with Director Chen tomorrow is at ten o'clock in the morning. Is it okay if I call you at eight o'clock?"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Qiqi and Tingting, you two can go and rest."

"OK."

After hearing this, Sun Ting and Wu Qiqi nodded and left.

After closing the door, Liu Yifei, who was just about to change clothes and take a shower, heard her mother sigh:

"Oh, it really is."

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Liu Yifei, who had drank a few more glasses of champagne today, asked as she prepared to tie her hair up.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to take a shower for a while.

Then, she heard her mother say something!

"You really don't know if you don't compare. With an assistant like this, how could it not be successful?"

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, then shook her head:

"You're saying the opposite. Mom, the reason why Tingting has the ability she has now is because Mimi taught her little by little. Just like today's salon, after she received the invitation letter, she got the guest list.

Taking note of everyone's appearance and resume. This is not a job that ordinary assistants can do.

"Compared with her, those people are really amateurs." After hearing this, Liu Xiaoli was quite emotional:

"Mom did something wrong. I just wanted someone to take care of you, but I didn't expect that the assistant could do so many things. No wonder the salary is so high."

"She got higher at Mimi."

"You made a mistake."

Liu Xiaoli sighed again;

"I really didn't realize that he was such an inconspicuous kid on the set back then.

"Mom, it's not that Mimi is inconspicuous, it's just that you don't take others seriously."

Liu Yifei seems to be speaking more truthfully now than before.

I feel more courageous to express my opinions.

Looking at her mother, she said:

"You always think that others are doing good to me because they are doing something for me. Now you know, right? Not everyone is like this. At least Mimi is not like this, right?"

"But she can be nice to you for no reason?"

Liu Xiaoli did not directly refute this time.

Just raised a question.

"Why isn't she nice to other people?"

"How do you know she is not good to other people?: Just like Tingting, do you know how big a red envelope she sent to Tingting last year? How many red envelopes did she send to Qiqi, Brother Hu and the others? And... you

Have you ever heard of her getting into trouble or being unhappy with anyone?"

Liu Xiaoli was speechless.

This is quite true.

This girl is really good at being a good person.

It's "oily" in a weird way.

When Liu Yifei said these words, she remembered what Mimi said in the car about the prospects for the coming year when we met in Xiangjiang last year.

After thinking for a while, she suddenly asked;

"Mom, did you know that Mimi's contract will expire at the end of May this year?"

"ah?"

Liu Xiaoli was a little stunned:

"This year?"

"right."

"Have she said which big company she is going to?"

"No. I guess Mimi wants to go it alone. Think about it, Rong Xinda can't provide her with any help. She's debuting

Xu Xin has made everything for her so far, so she should have made it by herself."

"Isn't she pregnant? Can Xu Xin still let her come out?"

"Then I don't know. But I think if Mimi comes out to do it alone, she will definitely succeed. She has brains and is not short of money.

Liu Xiaoli didn't seem to understand the meaning of her daughter's words, and just shook her head slightly:

"I don't think she can come out in the future. She's already married, who would like to have his wife come out and show off her face?"

Speaking of this, her eyes suddenly lit up:

"Eh? Then if she really can't come out, you two have such a good relationship, you can't do anything to those who are looking for her."

Suddenly, she stopped talking, and there was a hint of sadness in her eyes:

"Oh, things are really changing in this world. It's really ironic, but Liu Yifei doesn't have any regrets or emotions in her eyes.

She just shook her head and said;

"I said take it, take it? Why?"

"You two have a good relationship."

"Well, that's right. But it's not something I can just take. The difficulty I have now is not what resources I can get, but who dares to give them to me."

"."

Liu Xiaoli frowned.

Are these words really spoken by my own daughter? A sense of déjà vu suddenly arises, like "the child has grown up."

Then I saw my daughter say in a very casual but serious tone:

"I told you before that I have my own ideas. To be honest with you, my next step is to hire an agent."

".???"

Liu Xiaoli's eyes straightened instantly.

"you……"

"Mom, please listen to me, I have nothing else to say. Liu Yifei quickly sat down next to her.

"I understand your painstaking efforts. You are afraid that I will be wronged or something outside. But we have to think about it carefully. I actually figured it out from Tingting. Mom, for professional things, you need to find a professional

People will do it. If you look at CINDY and others, and then look at Tingting and Qiqi, you will understand what I mean.

So, the next step is for me to find a professional agent to save my career for me. Someone who is reliable and trustworthy. I don’t mean to replace you and my godfather, but I really need a professional team.

If all the people in the world were like Tingting and the others, wouldn’t it be much easier to deal with things in the future?”

"."

Instinctively, Liu Xiaoli felt that something was wrong. She felt that her daughter seemed to have changed.

But she also knew that what her daughter said was right.

Asked subconsciously:

"Then what kind of agent are you looking for?"

"Let's look for it. But there is a difficulty now, that is, my contract is still with my godfather. I want to find a big agent. He must have his own team, and he will definitely not join my godfather, right?

?”

Liu Xiaoli's brows furrowed completely: "Do you want to"

I want to terminate my contract with my godfather’s company.”

"you!!!"

In an instant, Liu Xiaoli's eyes widened.

"No, you."

"mom."

Before Liu Xiaoli could say anything, Liu Yifei asked a question that pointed directly to her soul:

"I can only fall into the chaos of Hong Kong now, can't I?"

When Liu Xiaoli was speechless, she continued:

"Even life in the Hong Kong industry is very simple. My godfather is good to me, I know that. But because he is good to me, I think it is right for me to leave at this time. Because, now the domestic film industry has been given to me.

The road is dead. I don’t want to go back to filming TV series.

Therefore, I need an agent who can support me enough to continue on, right? Didn’t you just say that Mimi will definitely be able to retain a lot of resources if she is pregnant and has a baby. Now and then, I want to eat, but

I need a stepping stone.

And I don't know where this brick is.

So I want to use myself as bait, do you understand what I mean? I have become a free agent. If someone comes to contact me, it means that this person has the confidence to help me open up the domestic film market. Without bait, how can you fish?

?”

".???"

At this moment, Liu Xiaoli was in front of someone for the first time, and she was in a state of confusion.

this.

Is this what Sissi can say?

It would be almost the same if Yang Mi said it...

When did our Sissi start to know how to be careful with others? But I have to admit that what she said seems to be right.

How to fish without bait?

But……

"Then what you have done for Dad and me..."

"Oh, Mom~"

Liu Yifei seemed a little speechless, shook her head and said:

"You are my mother, and that is ***father. Why do you say that I am your money-making tool? I feel very uncomfortable."

"We don't mean that."

"I know, you actually just want me to be well and not get hurt, right?

".Um."

"Then it's over. I think I've chosen the right path. I'll regain my freedom and see which fish I can attract on the market. Then let's talk about it, right? How should we talk about it? It's up to you and Qian

Dad, I don’t understand. We are a family, and we should use our strength in one place, right?"

Vaguely, Liu Xiaoli still felt that something was wrong.

Sissi is not such a child.

Why now

"Mom, then I'm going to take a bath? You just need to know about this, but don't tell your godfather first. He has a bad temper, so this matter can only be explained clearly in person. You should also think about whether this makes sense, I'm going to take a bath~

"

".good."

Liu Xiaoli nodded, and Liu Yifei walked directly into the bathroom. After entering the bathroom, a glint flashed in her eyes.

This should be considered taking the bait, right?

The bird in the cage saw the light of freedom for the first time.

"Why can't it be shot like this?"

Yang Mi was a little confused. "Why?" Xu Xin rolled his eyes:

Do you still need a photographer to find shooting angles or set up lighting for your audition? You might as well find a facilitator and we’ll put together a crew to film it for you.”

When I came back this afternoon, Xu Xin was quite happy when he heard that Yang Mi was going to start auditioning.

I wanted to see how she would perform "Gong Er". After all, it has been a month.

As a result, I heard an outrageous request:

"Hey, can we do it like a movie? You find an angle, design a shot, and then tell me about the positioning. Let's do it this way?"

Xu Xinxin said, are you blind because you don’t want to?

In actor auditions, what people look at is your acting skills, your image, and your understanding of the role.

Wouldn't it be better if you came here and shot it as a feature film?

Crazy?

"Tsk, aren't I helping you interview the director? What if they like your shooting techniques?"

"Forget it. Xu Xin shook his head:

"Just try your mirror honestly.

As he spoke, he carried the newly purchased digital camera from the video room to the living room, turned his back to the door to prevent the lens from being exposed, and then pointed at the empty living room.

"Here, let's get started. Uncle, aunt, would you like to come and see me?"

Hearing this, Yang Dalin and Yang Chunling looked at each other and walked over at the same time.

Appeared to be in high spirits.

Although they often see their daughter on TV, this is really the first time for them to see this kind of actor audition.

I sat on the sofa with great anticipation, waiting for my daughter to perform.

Yang Mi was a little helpless. After taking another look at her parents, she took the page of lines and looked at it, then walked directly to the camera.

Xu Xin stood aside and adjusted the lens to get the focus and all the data.

correct.

There is no way, he is not familiar with the new machine.

Everything was debugged, he said:

"It's time to start."

"Um."

Yang Mi nodded and closed her eyes.

Seeing this, Yang Dalin and Yang Juanling did not say anything, but stared at their daughter seriously.

It’s just like having a parent-teacher meeting when you were a kid and watching the children’s art presentation.

After about a minute, she suddenly turned slightly sideways, revealing the side of her face.

Then, within a few blinks, his eyes became gentle and calm.

Embrace your arms, but it's not like a cross hug, but the left and right arms are clasped together.

It seems a little cold.

There is a hint of sadness in this "coldness".

Then, calm words sounded;

"My father said."

Her eyes were blank, staring sideways, and she maintained the hugging movement:

"There are three stages for people who practice martial arts: seeing themselves, seeing the world, and seeing all living beings. I have seen myself, and I have seen the world..."

Her narration is very interesting.

At first glance, it sounds like a straightforward narrative.

But in fact, her voice showed a decreasing tone. She seemed to be explaining the words "people who practice martial arts".

"See yourself, see the heaven and earth, see all living beings", it seemed that I couldn't continue to say it, and my voice became softer.

As for the last sentence, "I have seen myself, I have also seen the world." She deliberately left a long pause.

One can feel her regret just by her words.

But such regret is revealed in the calmness of this hugging movement from the beginning to the end.

"It's a pity that I can't see any sentient beings."

That trace of regret has become real.

But unfortunately, his face still looked calm and calm.

Even when I uttered the following words of regret, nothing changed: "I have not finished this road.

After saying that, she finally made a small movement to raise her head.

The eyes are no longer vacant, but the muscles of the eyes are controlled, so that at first glance, the eyes have a sense of staring at others:

"Hope you can keep it going."

When I said this, all regrets disappeared without a trace.

Instead, there was a hint of expectation.

As for the action that showed this expectation, she did not choose to nod firmly or make promises.

But smile.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the joy from the heart suddenly emerged with the curve of the corners of his mouth.

But Xu Xin suddenly waved his hand:

"wrong."

Yang Mi was stunned.

"Your smile made the whole scene collapse. Uncle, aunt, what do you two think?"

Following Xu Xin's words, Yang Dalin and Yang Chunling were both a little confused.

this.

What did you do?

What did I see?

No. It's pretty good, there's no laughs or anything to do.

Why did it collapse?

After thinking for a while, Yang Dalin said:

"We both think it's pretty good."

"Look, how I collapsed!"

Yang Mi was a little unhappy.

But Xu Xin ignored him at all. Instead, he squinted his eyes, recalled the audition just now, and said:

"You still haven't grasped the core. Gong Er, this character represents the Gong family, and the Gong family... is the epitome of the martial arts world at that time. You have to be restrained. The restraint in the front is very good. But the problem is that you shouldn't laugh in the back

Think about it, our ancestors’ outlook on life is to be reserved. If the apprentice does something wrong, he will definitely be slapped. But if the apprentice does the right thing, the master’s exaggeration will not be so straightforward. Your smile belongs to

Exposed emotions are disqualifying.

Because those masters in the old days always praised their disciples to outsiders, instead of chasing after their disciples every day and praising them. Oh, baby, you are so awesome. The tone of your words is obviously expressing. The person listening to Gong Er's words is her.

The place in my heart is special.

Maybe it's love

A companion may be a lover, a confidant or a disciple.

But no matter which way, Gong Er cannot show too many emotions. If you want people to know whether you are praising or praising, showing your feelings, then you are not Gong Er. Do you understand?

You have to be restrained and restrained. If you want to express the role of Gong Er, the tone of your lines should be greater than your expression. Even if you smile, it will only make people think that you are smiling, not the smile you show..."

"."

"."

Yang Dalin and Yang Chunling had already heard this.

Just...a smile is not a smile...

What kind of praise does not reveal one's feelings... What does this mean? But Yang Mi was thoughtful.

After thinking for a while, he nodded;

It makes sense. Then I’ll do it again.”

"Um."

Xu Xin responded and continued to take pictures of Yang Mi.

He wasn't proficient in using a camera, so he planned to keep shooting like this, and then rely on computer editing to edit the film. After adjusting the state, Yang Mi performed the scene again and caught it.

That introverted emotion.

From the words "My father said" to "I hope you can go on", the emotions are very restrained from the beginning to the end.

At the end, she hid her smile and replaced it with a slightly turned head.

Just right. Xu Xin felt comfortable instantly.

"Well, this tastes just right!"

After turning the camera back and playing the performance again, Xu Xin gave a satisfactory evaluation.

Xu Haofeng sent four lines.

There are long and short.

After Yang Mi completed all the performances that met Xu Xin's requirements in about half an hour, he pulled out the memory card;

"Okay, I'm going to edit the film and delete the part you just made. Have you written down your experience in understanding the character?"

"Not yet. You go ahead and do it first. I'm a little hungry and I'm going to drink some bird's nest. You'll cut the film later and I'll write it together and send it over."

"Um."

Xu Xin responded and came to the study room with the memory card.

First, export the file, and then use editing software to divide it into four parts. In these four parts, you also need to edit out your own words.

While he was compressing, he suddenly received a call from the soundtrack company:

"Director Xu, would it be convenient for you to come over here? We have recorded the demos we talked about two days ago."

"oh?"

Xu Xin's eyes lit up. After looking at the time, he said, "Okay, I'll be right over."

After getting up and going out with the keys in hand, she saw Yang Mi scooping out bird's nests one by one at the door of the kitchen.

"Done?"

"It's being compressed. I have to go to the music studio. The demo of "Wind Teeth" is out. I have to watch it."

"Oh, okay. Will you come back for dinner tonight?"

"I should call you then."

"Um."

Watching Xu Xin leave Yang Mi, he finished the bowl of bird's nest in three gulps, and then walked into the study.

Two days ago, people from the housekeeping company came to deodorize the study room and cleaned away all the traces of second-hand smoke, so there was no smell in the room.

After taking a look at the video file being compressed on her computer, she directly reduced it, opened the ORD file, and started writing about the character.

Frankly speaking, Xu Haofeng's request is quite excessive.

If you audition, just audition, if you are selected, you will be selected, if you are not selected, you will be rejected. Why is it like writing an essay, and you have to get the experience of the character? But who made my brother like this story.

With a serious and responsible attitude, she began to type out her understanding of Gong Er in the past month.

"Gong Er is the epitome of the Gong family. And the Gong family is the epitome of the martial arts world back then."

This is the first sentence at the beginning.

Then…….

Yang Mi suddenly felt a surge of literary thoughts and inspiration like diarrhea.

The crackling sound of typing started to stop.

In a blink of an eye, an hour

The head time flew by.

Looking at the more than a thousand words written by Yaojiyang Jiujiu, she checked it carefully. After finding that the meaning of the expression was expressed, she looked at the four video files that had been compressed and came to the desktop.

Four?

That should be the four plays, right?

My brother's movements are quite fast.

While she was thinking about it, she opened her mailbox and started uploading these four videos in very large files.

The speed of several hundred KB per second is actually not very fast.

Fortunately, the file is not too big. Once compressed, a file is only a few hundred megabytes.

Yang Mi left the house immediately.

The fitness instructor has been waiting aside for a long time.

She started exercising.

An hour and a half later, the time came to five o'clock.

After finishing today's exercise, Yang Dalin put on an apron and asked Yang Mi:

"Daughter, ask Xiao Xu when he will come back so I can cook."

"good."

Yang Mi responded and dialed Xu Xin's phone number:

"Dudu...hey, brother, when will you be back?"

"Maybe I can't go back. I'm not very satisfied with this little thing. The band members are here and we are communicating. You can eat and don't worry about me. I'll take a bite here."

To the six or seven people in the room who were waiting for him, Xu Xin hurriedly said something and hung up the phone.

"He won't come back to eat. Dad, let's just cook. I'm hungry too."

"OK."

Yang Dalin responded and started cooking.

Yang Mi seemed to have remembered something and walked into the study again.

The black screen of the computer lit up, and she looked at the several emails that had been uploaded. Finally, she uploaded her thoughts on the role of Gong Er and sent them all to Xu Haofeng's mailbox.

After confirming that the four emails were sent successfully, she dialed Xu Haofeng's phone: "Dudu, hello, Mimi, hello, hello."

Xu Haofeng's voice was quite quiet.

Not noisy.

Yang Mi smiled and said hello;

"Hello, senior brother. I have sent you the video of the interpretation of those lines and the understanding of the characters. Do you want to take a look?"

".ah???"

For some reason, Xu Haofeng's voice was full of surprise. But he immediately responded:

"Okay, okay, has it been sent to my email?"

"Yes, would you like to take a look?"

"Well, I'll download it now and watch it. Are we in contact?"

"Hmm, I'll hang up then. Goodbye, senior brother."

Yang Mi said politely and hung up the phone.

Then I deleted all four videos that took up space.

My brother has a bad habit of using computers, that is, he likes to put everything on the desktop.

Over time, the computer's C drive will become full and it will become stuck. This is not a good habit.

Then, she boarded the VS account and squeezed into the master room 1 interface. Yes.

Hang on. Play two games tonight.

So we went to eat happily.

"The second palace is not allowed to show too many emotions. If you want people to know whether you are praising or praising, or showing your feelings, then you are not the second palace. Understand? You have to be restrained and restrained. As a rich second person,

If you want to express the character, the tone of the lines should be greater than the expression..."

In the computer video, although the camera was full of Yang Mi's thoughtful expression, the male voice in the voice was extremely clear.

It was passed to the ears of three people sitting in front of the computer.

Xu Haofeng frowned.

Another middle-aged man is smoking.

And finally there was a middle-aged man with a rather ordinary Chinese character and short hair. The three of them just sat in front of the computer, silently listening to the male voice inside talking about their understanding of "Gong Er".

First video. Second video.

third fourth

Until the end of the fourth article, they heard a passage:

"Okay, I'm going to edit the film and delete the part you just made. Have you written down your experience in understanding the character?"

"not yet.

You go ahead and do it first, I'm a little hungry and I'm going to drink some bird's nest. You'll cut the film later and I'll write it together and send it over."

Yang Mi in the camera lost her restrained calmness just now, and then left the front of the camera.

The screen ends.

After a while, the middle-aged man next to Xu Haofeng put out his cigarette and said

"So, I sent the wrong video? But... I quite like Yang Mi's first performance. What about you two?"

"I like the part where this person corrected it."

Xu Haofeng said.

Finally, the two of them looked at the middle-aged man with short hair: "Director Wang, where are you?"

Xu Haofeng asked. But no one responded. The middle-aged man fell into deep thought. For a moment, he answered the question: "You just gave her five paragraphs?" He spoke with a Hong Kong and Taiwanese accent.

"Four paragraphs, one of which introduces this character."

Look at that experience. Watch how she understands it.

"good."

Xu Haofeng downloaded the last document and after clicking it, a sentence came into view:
Chapter completed!
