Chapter 37: Eat more

Xu Ji, who was sitting in the audience, was also a little surprised at this time.

"Are the resources of the Youth Micro Film Competition so good?"

"A rookie director can actually direct a film with hundreds of millions of investments?"

Xu Ji thought that he personally went to Station G to sign such a harsh contract, and only then did he get an investment of 15 million, and he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

If he had such a large investment, there would undoubtedly be a lot more movies he could choose to make.

You Man replied:

"It's different."

"Although Lu Dian is said to be a rookie director, he is no longer a rookie."

"I have made a lot of commercials in the past, which have been recognized by the industry, and he is also a signed director on Penguin's side, so Penguin is willing to let him direct such a large-investment movie."

"I guess it's been determined a long time ago."

Xu Ji didn't know much about this.

After hearing You Man's explanation, he was a little relieved.

"However, the resources that the award-winning directors of the micro-film competition can generally get are good."

"You don't have to worry about that."

Sure enough, You Man said the same, although the second place also got a film director position with an investment of more than 38 million.

But compared to the first place, hundreds of millions are not so exaggerated.

After that, the third place also successfully got a project with an investment of 40 million.

Finally, it was Xu Ji's turn.

"Director Xu Ji, what Phoenix Entertainment is giving here is a position as an assistant director of a film with an investment of one million."

"Congratulations!"

"We look forward to the cooperation between the two parties."

As soon as the supporter's words were finished, many people who were obviously present were stunned.

"How much?"

"Did you just say a million?"

"And an assistant director?"

Some industry insiders present had a lot of discussions.

Xu Ji was also a little stunned at this time.

He originally thought that if the project was good, there would be a lot of directorial fees to be earned anyway, and there was nothing wrong with agreeing.

If you really can't write the script yourself, you should be able to negotiate with these capital parties of the Micro Film Competition.

But this million investment came out, and it was also the position of assistant director, which Xu Ji did not expect at all.

Wait a minute!

Phoenix Entertainment?

Xu Ji reacted suddenly.

Isn't this one of the three major entertainment companies that were ready to sign a contract with Sha Yetong before and then didn't succeed?

Is it really as You Man said, he was targeted?

"Director Sha Lu, the reason for smallpox entertainment is to give a film director position with an investment of no less than 30 million."

"Congratulations! We look forward to your cooperation. ”

Hearing the film project that the host on stage gave the fifth place, Xu Ji finally understood at this time.

I'm really being targeted.

It is likely to be because of Sha Yetong's matter.

After all, the linkage between "Goodbye, Jinhua Station" and "The Days of Jinhua East Road" before, Xu Ji is the person who wrote the song behind Sha Yetong, which is actually not a secret.

You Man, who was beside Xu Ji, also hugged Xu Ji and said:

"You said that this million-dollar investment movie is still an assistant director's position, isn't this bullying?"

Xu Ji was surprised and gradually calmed down.

"It's okay, besides, they didn't violate the official conditions, and they met the minimum requirement of one million."

The presenter continued to read on stage the film projects that each director was able to direct.

Even the lowest tenth place can direct a movie, with an investment of 15 million.

Ten award-winning directors and collaborator projects appeared on the big screen.

Xu Ji, the assistant director of the million-dollar film project, is particularly dazzling in it.

The eyes of many people at the scene who looked at Xu Ji at this time were full of sympathy.

You Man even wanted to pull Xu Ji away directly.

But seeing Xu Ji's expression as usual, and even with a smile on his face, he gave up.

She felt that Xu Ji must be very sad in her heart, and she was just holding on at this time.

"If it weren't for the fact that our G station hadn't developed in film and television, we would definitely choose you!"

You Man could only open his mouth and comfort.

Xu Ji shook his head.

"It's fine."

"Didn't I also cooperate with Station G in an online drama?"

You Man did not speak.

She knows very well that there is still a big gap between online dramas and movies.

Compared with film directors, there are many differences in identity and status between online drama directors and film directors.

Even compared with traditional star film and television dramas, online dramas have always been at the bottom of the chain of contempt.

If Xu Ji can enter the film industry, the starting point will be much higher.

"I heard that Xu Ji is the one who wrote songs for Sha Yetong."

"Create the show for the Camp Girls? No wonder ......"

"He offended Phoenix Entertainment, I'm afraid that no one in the circle will invest in the future."

......

Some of the people around were whispering.

Xu Ji still acted like a nobody, and followed the other directors on stage to shake hands with the investment representatives of Phoenix Entertainment.

The other party was a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and a blue suit that looked expensive.

Maybe it's because people are so thin, although the suit is a little bigger, it makes people look a little funny.

Then Xu Ji stepped down, and the award ceremony was officially over.

Just as Xu Ji and You Man were about to leave, the investment representative of Phoenix Entertainment came over.

"Xu Ji, right?"

"Hello, I'm the head of the film and television department of Phoenix Entertainment."

"My name is Deng Yuanyang."

Xu Ji was stunned for a moment, but shook hands with the other party politely.

"Hello."

Deng Yuanyang reached out and lifted his sunglasses.

Then I don't know if it's because of the steps, he looked at Xu Ji condescendingly and said:

"Director Xu, I guess you heard it just now, it was our Phoenix Entertainment who gave you the project this time."

"Although it's just a small short film project of one million, and it's also an assistant director's position."

"But such an opportunity is also rare for a newcomer like you."

"If the response to the short film is good, we can consider signing you to our company."

After Xu Ji heard the other party's words at this time, his face was confused.

"You mean, I have to wait until I finish filming the one million short film you gave me before I have the chance to sign with your company?"

Deng Yuanyang nodded.

"If you think it's okay, I'll send you the script later."

"The specific time to join the group will be notified to you when the time comes."

"The funds for the project are limited, and you may not be able to pay for the director's fee, but you don't have to worry about food and accommodation, our crew has food and accommodation."

When Xu Ji heard this, he finally couldn't help laughing.

Then he beckoned to the other person, signaling to come closer to him.

Deng Yuanyang actually deliberately humiliated Xu Ji, and at this time the goal had been achieved, and he subconsciously leaned his ear over.

"Let's eat shi! What B! ”

Sure enough, the simplest bad breath is the ultimate enjoyment.

Xu Ji felt a lot more relieved.

Deng Yuanyang's eyes widened suddenly.

Then the whole popularity pointed at Xu Ji and wanted to scold, but he was afraid of his identity.

can only be allowed to tremble in place.

"Mr. Deng, I think it's better to cooperate with it."

"I probably don't have time."

Xu Ji still had a smile on his face, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he directly walked sideways around the other party and walked towards the outside of the venue.

You Man hurriedly chased after him.

After leaving the venue, he asked curiously:

"What did you just tell him?"

"Why did that person's expression change all of a sudden?"

Xu Ji replied casually:

"I think he's too thin, so let him pay attention to his body and eat more."
