I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 110 108. Hey, are you there? Is Mimi by your side?
When Xu Xin walked into the small conference room, Zhang Yimou, Zhang Wu, and Wei Lanfang were the only ones present.

The meeting hasn't started yet, and everyone hasn't arrived yet.

Wei Lanfang glanced at Xu Xin whose hair was still wet, and asked with a smile:

"Xiao Xu, are you going to the gym again?"

"Ah."

Xu Xin nodded, sat next to her, and said with a smile:
"I ran into Liu Yifei at the gym just now."

"Yeah, is it true or not?"

Wei Lanfang was a little surprised.

But I was not as excited as I was when I saw Jay Chou.

I don't know if it's same-sex repulsion or just passers-by.

On the contrary, it was Zhang Wu who asked curiously:
"Just that little girl with a very fairy temperament?"

"Correct."

Xu Xin responded:
"I met her in the gym, she was very enthusiastic, and her coach helped me correct my movements."

"She... I remember Mimi said that she would come to visit the class in a few days, right?"

Hearing Wei Lanfang's words, Xu Xin's first reaction was to glance at Zhang Yimou.

As a result, Director Zhang frowns there in a daze.

He had told Director Zhang about visiting the class a few days ago.

Director Zhang didn't care.

An actor is an actor, and a director is a director. It doesn't mean that Zhang Yimou has to warmly receive Liu Yifei when he comes to visit the set...that's nonsense.

Most of the actor's visits to the set are the private affairs of the actors themselves. The director is busy with filming, so it is impossible for the actors who come to visit the set to disturb them.

It's against the rules, and it's not polite.

You can find anyone who comes to visit the crew. As for some snacks such as drinks and water for the crew, it is the same as when you are a guest with two boxes of fruit in your hand.

The two sides are not next to each other.

"Correct."

Xu Xin nodded:
"The relationship is not bad. Besides, her drama will be finished tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I guess my friends are reluctant to get together, so I came to visit the set."

Although what he said was true, the meaning of protecting Yang Mi in his words could not be faked.

Wei Lanfang and Zhang Wu also understood the meaning.

The two of them don't really matter.

During this period of time, anyone with a discerning eye could see the state of Xiao Xu and Mi Mi.

In addition, they are also people in this circle, and everyone understands what is behind the so-called visit to the class.

To put it bluntly, it wasn't Mimi who was exploring.

It's human nature.

Knowing this, Wei Lanfang stopped asking more questions.

Director Zhang has no opinion anyway.

Soon, almost everyone came, and the creative discussion meeting that had been held at least a hundred times started again.

……

Daming Palace.

It was less than 7 o'clock in the evening.

Xu Xin held a road map in his hand and repeatedly confirmed it to Jay Chou.

This is another version of his road map optimized to deal with this martial arts scene that has been stuck for almost ten days.

At this rate, the props of the crew are not enough for him to chop.

"First, Unit [-], what is Unit [-]?"

"Slash, block."

"Yes, let's go, No. [-] machine, what about No. [-] machine?"

"Holding the knife and looking left and right, with a blank expression."

"Okay, just remember, you have to show that sense of insensitivity, understand? Because you have been surrounded, and your golden soldiers were surrounded to death by silver armored soldiers."

"Ah."

"Then there is the No. [-] machine. You must pay attention to the No. [-] machine, because you fall from a high place. Although there is a wire, you have to pay special attention to the expression when you fall..."

Xu Xin babbled, over and over again, tirelessly telling him about the positioning skills for a while.

Jay Chou listened very seriously...

But whether it can be done or not really depends on God's will.

Otherwise, if it were really that simple, it would not be stuck for a week.

After repeating it several times, when it was almost done, Xu Xin nodded:

"Okay, then I'll go back to the director, come on!"

"……Um!"

Jay Chou nodded vigorously and responded.

Xu Xin put away the script, walked out of the tent, and looked at the group of actors who were already fully dressed... In fact, everyone has worked hard these days.

Besides... He heard that these big scenes have already cost a lot of money.

He made a rough estimate, and figured that no matter what, the film would cost less than [-] million yuan to produce... and the news that the budget may be more than [-] million yuan in the news interview should be true.

This is really burning money.

I really complied with that sentence: once the camera turns, even a secretary will not change it...

With emotion, Xu Xin was stunned as he climbed up the city wall all the way.

At a glance, I saw my girlfriend who was squatting on the ponytail.

"...Director Zhang, it's over."

He greeted Zhang Yimou first.

But upon hearing his movements, Yang Mi, who seemed to be dozing off, raised her head and showed her small white teeth.

Pulled a small Maza and put it next to him.

As soon as Xu Xin walked over and sat down, she leaned against Xu Xin's shoulder and narrowed her eyes:
"It's so hot I almost fell asleep."

"There is rain in the forecast today, so the weather is a bit stuffy... Why are you here? Aren't you going to rest?"

"Hehe~"

Speaking of this, the joyful emotion in the girl's laughter became even stronger:
"Today I performed exceptionally well, and I passed many scenes in one pass. I even finished tomorrow morning's scene beyond my quota...Tomorrow is the last day, and after the two afternoon scenes are filmed, I will wrap up. The next step is to go to Jiuzhaigou. While making up a few shots... don't we have to go to Wulong in the later stage, it's just right."

"……Thanks for your hard work."

Hearing this, the girl rubbed her cheek against her boyfriend's shoulder, expressing her joy like a cat.

"Oh, right."

Xu Xin remembered what happened in the morning, and quickly said:
"In the morning, I met Liu Yifei."

"what?"

Yang Mi was taken aback:
"where?"

"Gym."

"...I said why she didn't come all day today...have you chatted?"

"Chatted."

"Uh……"

Looking at the stunned girlfriend, Xu Xin took the initiative to explain everything that happened this morning without her asking.

And then...

Yang Mi's brain circuit is also quite peculiar:
"Are you looking for a man?"

"...?"

"..."

"..."

Her movement was neither big nor small, and it just so happened that it was heard by several people around who were waiting to take pictures.

In an instant, several people cast strange gazes at Xu Xin.

"...I thank you."

Xu Xin rolled his eyes, and then stopped talking.

He waited until everyone's strange eyes disappeared, and then he said:
"I'm not afraid that you will be jealous."

"I'm not that jealous, am I?"

The girl still rested her head on his shoulder, looking like she was asleep.

With half-closed eyes, he suddenly laughed foolishly.

"Hey hey hey..."

"What are you laughing at?"

"Didn't you say you did squats this afternoon?"

"Ah."

"I thought... Schwarzenegger is standing behind you, helping you to sit there squat... oops~~~~"

"...?????"

You seem to have revealed something serious, girl.

Speechless, he said:
"Then you change the picture and think about it as a woman."

"...To be more specific, who?"

"Is this still specific? ... Don't dig holes for me, think for yourself."

"Then... I just miss Shanshan."

"..."

Looking up, looking at her boyfriend's twitching cheeks, the girl smiled and leaned on his shoulder again:
"I'll think about it..."

"Tsk!"

When the boyfriend's assumption becomes a picture in my mind.

All of a sudden, she was upset.

"No! You can only find woo woo woo..."

Xu Xin, who had quick eyesight and quick hands, covered her mouth with a slap, dumbfounding:
"You're not done yet!"

"...Hmph."

I smelled the faint smell of tobacco wafting from my boyfriend's fingers.

She felt a little more at ease.

As for the rest...

She didn't really care much.

Although she admits that Liu Tianxian is beautiful...but she is not an insecure person.

That night, the eyes of her boyfriend staring at her and telling her seriously: "I won't lie to you" are still vivid in my memory.

She believed it.

Although this is a bit blind, she still feels... Since two people choose to be together, they should give each other enough trust.

Otherwise, the result will become like my first love...

What she wants is definitely not that kind of bad memory.

So trust is very important.

Just like a mirror, as long as it is not broken, then the trust in the mirror will always be complete!

But again, if the mirror is broken...

Then, a full and clear look can never be illuminated.

because……

After hurting, there is no forgiveness.

"Brother~"

Thinking of this, her voice suddenly became soft and weak.

"Ok?"

"I like you the most~"

Xu Xin was a little stunned at first, but didn't understand how she came up with such a sentence.

But he still smiled and pinched the tip of her nose.

He responded with a smile:
"Ah."

……

"Uh, Aunt Liu, you're here too."

Standing at the door, Huang Xiaoming saw that the door was opened, and Liu Xiaoli, who was standing behind the assistant who opened the door, looked this way and greeted with a smile.

Seeing that it was him, a kind smile appeared on Liu Xiaoli's face:

"It's Xiao Ming, come in, come in quickly."

"Eh, good."

Huang Xiaoming responded and walked into Liu Yifei's suite.

But he didn't see Liu Yifei, so he asked:
"Has Yifei not come back yet?"

"I'm back, but I don't want to have dinner at the hotel. Cindy took her to drink some soup."

"Uh……"

As soon as he heard that Liu Yifei had left, Huang Xiaoming stopped moving forward, stood at the dividing line between the corridor at the door and the living room, and said:

"Then I'll come back later?"

"Come on, I'm here, so wait for a while... What, do you have something to do with Sissy?"

"Uh……"

Looking at Huang Xiaoming's hesitant appearance, Liu Xiaoli asked with a smile:

"What's the matter? Even I can't know?"

Although she asked with a smile, Huang Xiaoming knew how this guy on the set wanted his daughter to be separated from all the opposite sex.

Hi.

This kind of thing... he can't say anything.

But since he was asked at this moment, he couldn't hide it, otherwise, if the other party was thinking wildly...

It's one thing to think that she has something to do with her daughter.

In case I offend that...

That's another story.

In other words, the matter of coming to see Liu Yifei today is not private.

So he smiled and said:

"No, didn't Mimi's filming go well today? Before she left, I asked, and she said that it would be finished tomorrow afternoon."

"Honey?"

Liu Xiaoli was taken aback.

"Mimi is going to finish filming?... Isn't that going to go to the crew of "Golden Armor", right?"

"Yes. That's why I came here. Anyway, I, Yifei, and Mimi are all in the same school. A few days ago, I said that when Mimi is over, Yifei and I will go visit the class together."

"...Visiting the class?"

Liu Xiaoli was taken aback again.

Huang Xiaoming didn't think too much, and nodded:

"That's right, we said we were going to visit the class together."

"...to Director Zhang?"

"Correct."

"..."

For some reason, Liu Xiaoli's eyes became dissatisfied.

But fleeting.

A smile appeared on his face again:
"Is that so... Isn't that good? Then you come today..."

"Didn't I want to ask Yifei the time, to see when she is free?"

"...Okay, when she comes back later, I'll ask her and let her contact you when the time comes, okay?"

"Eh, okay."

Huang Xiaoming nodded, knowing that this was a "order to drive away guests".

So he smiled and said:

"Then Aunt Liu, just talk to her, and I'll leave first."

"Okay, then I won't see you off."

"You're welcome, I'm leaving..."

pat.

The door is closed.

Liu Xiaoli frowned slowly.

Then he fixed his eyes on the little girl beside him first, and asked in a calm tone:
"Cissy said she was going to visit Director Zhang's crew?"

"Uh...Auntie, I don't know."

The little girl also looked bewildered:
"Sister Fei usually doesn't talk to me about these things, she always talks to Sister Cindy."

CINDY, Cindy.

She is Liu Yifei's first assistant.

I have followed Liu Yifei since his debut, and the relationship between the two is also the closest.

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoli stared at the girl carefully for a while, and finally nodded:

"Okay... If there's anything going on in the future, remember to let me know, you know?"

"Mmm Good."

The little girl nodded quickly, and for some reason, let out a long breath.

It looks as if the tension has been relieved.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoli frowned...

Why this expression?
She was about to ask, when suddenly the phone rang.

When she picked it up, a smile appeared on her face:
"Hello, Old Chen."

A voice came from the other end of the phone:
"I'm downstairs, where is Sissy? Let's go have dinner together? Take Sissy to eat something good."

"Are you here?"

Surprised, Liu Xiaoli walked to the window and glanced downstairs.

Then he said:

"Sissy doesn't have much appetite tonight, she's going outside for soup. How about you come up first?"

"Have a bad appetite?... Do you want soup? What kind of soup can this place have? Besides, there is rain in the forecast today, what should I do if I catch a cold again?... I made a reservation at Donghuang Restaurant... So, I will call her , you come down first. Let's pick her up."

"Well, that's fine."

Liu Xiaoli responded, and after hanging up the phone, she shouted directly to the little girl:

"Call Cindy and ask where she is. Tell the two of them not to eat, and tell Sissy that her godfather is here..."

"Ok."

The little girl quickly dialed the phone.

……

After half an hour.

Liu Yifei, wearing a mask and hat, got out of the car with his assistant Cindy.

Cindy trotted ahead and reported the room number to the waiter. The waiter at the restaurant nodded and led them all the way to a box.

Knocked on the door and opened it.

The two walked in.

As soon as Liu Yifei entered, she saw the sweet smile of her godfather Chen Jinfei:

"Girl~~~"

With that said, he got up, opened his arms and walked over.

Liu Yifei, who hadn't had time to take off the mask and hat, was a little evasive in her eyes, but finally went up to meet him. After giving her godfather a hug, the middle-aged man smiled and pointed to the side where he got up:

"Come, come, sit here."

After the words fell, he said to Cindy and the little girl again:

"Go next door and eat with my driver."

Cindy and the little girl didn't dare to say more, nodded and left the box directly.

There were only three people left in the room.

Taking off her hat and mask, Liu Yifei sat next to Chen Jinfei and looked at her mother with a helpless smile:

"Mom, I finished eating over there."

Before Liu Xiaoli answered, Chen Jinfei said:
"If you want to drink soup, why don't you just come here? You can eat his matsutake stewed sea cucumber, and it tastes good."

"...too far away, godfather."

"Wouldn't it be better to let the car take you?"

The pampering in Chen Jinfei's words is beyond words.

As if to say:
"If you want the stars in the sky, godfather will pick them all for you."

Before Liu Yifei could answer, suddenly, Liu Xiaoli said:
"Why didn't you tell me that you were going to visit the crew of "Golden Armor"?"

"..."

Liu Yifei was taken aback.

Obviously some did not expect how the mother would know the news.

But before answering, Liu Xiaoli continued:

"Just now I talked to your godfather about this. He will stay here for a few days. Isn't Mimi's scene in Hengdian wrapping up tomorrow? The day after tomorrow, let your godfather take you to visit the set."

"no!"

Instinctively, the girl directly rejected the proposal.

Liu Xiaoli frowned all of a sudden.

"Why can't you? When you visit the class, you can go inside to have a look at most. You don't think Director Zhang can still see you, do you? You may not even see his face. But if your godfather goes with you, you won't It's the same. Your godfather knows Zhang Weiping, so if you say hello in advance, you can appear in front of Director Zhang? Isn't that why you went to visit the set? Does it need to be so complicated? Like those young actors?"

"……mom!"

Liu Yifei's tone became a little anxious:

"I... I really want to develop into movies, but I can't do that! Then what am I? I went to meet Director Zhang under the guise of visiting Mimi, then what did I become in Mimi? !? How despicable I am! What should people think of me?"

"What do you need her to see about you?"

Liu Xiaoli's brows were already furrowed:
"This circle is full of weak meat and strong prey. At best, she just picked up a role. I'm talking, I'm not asking you to grab her role. She's just going to shoot this movie. Let your godfather take you to meet Director Zhang, and have a look." Is there any chance to cooperate in the future? That's what it means. What? Your relationship with her is not as good as the people she knows, so you can't even touch them, right? Everyone develops their own according to their own abilities, what's the matter?"

"That won't work! How can you do such a thing!"

Liu Yifei still refused:
"I'll just go with Huang Xiaoming. Actually, I don't care if I meet Director Zhang or not. I just want to see what this kind of big-budget movie looks like. Why do you insist on putting me on it? Then I won't go, no It’s okay to go? How can you do this..."

There was reluctance in her tone.

This cannot be done.

If he really took his godfather with him, wouldn't it be obvious that he had other plans for using Yang Mi as a springboard?

Anyway, everyone is holding an umbrella together and chatting with each other in the crew.

How can this be done...

"you!……"

When Liu Xiaoli heard this, she was about to lose her temper, but Chen Jinfei quickly smoothed things over:
"OK OK……"

After suppressing Liu Xiaoli's anger first, Chen Jinfei turned to Liu Yifei and said:
"Sissy, why don't you hurry up and apologize to your mother."

"..."

Liu Yifei also knew that what she said just now was a bit serious... After hearing what he said, she felt wronged again.

"Godfather, we can't do this...then what am I? When I meet Yang Mi in the future, why should I look up at her?"

"It was she who looked up at you."

Chen Jinfei first corrected the mistakes in the girl's statement.

"She is far behind you, why are you looking up at her?"

"not me……"

"I know~~"

Interrupting Liu Yifei again, Chen Jinfei shook his head with a smile:

"I'm talking, Qianqian, even if you don't go to visit Yang Mi, this time I came here because I wanted to take you to meet Director Zhang. Before I came, I had a special communication with Zhang Weiping, and we have known each other for a long time Well, director Zhang came here to film, I definitely want to take you to meet. So...it has nothing to do with this little girl named Yang Mi, you know? You go back and tell her that you won't go to visit the set, Wouldn’t that be fine? And these two days, I’ll ask Zhang Weiping to make an appointment to meet you alone, wouldn’t it be fine? Is this okay? It’s nothing to do with this little girl... Okay, hurry up and apologize to your mother... Mom is concerned about you, how can you talk to mom like that, you child..."

"..."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei subconsciously looked at her mother who still had dissatisfaction and anger in her eyes.

"……mom."

There was a touch of helplessness and grievance in her voice:

"sorry."

……

"I'm stupid... hold on..."

Daming Palace.

Looking at the golden armored soldiers huddled together below, Xu Xin clenched his fists subconsciously.

Let alone him, even Zhang Yimou and the others became slightly nervous.

It's not for anything else, it's just because...in the third play today, Jay Chou didn't make a single mistake, no matter his position, transfer, or expression...all met the standard!
Now it's only the last stage where he stands alone in the crowd.

And this scene is being filmed.

With a knife in one hand and a bundle of spears in the other, Jay Chou fought among the crowd.

All the soldiers put on an offensive and defensive appearance that kept moving forward and retreating.

The group battle movements specially designed and directed by Cheng Xiaodong, Jay Chou gritted his teeth and waved the iron knife in his hand, trying hard to make every movement meet the standard.

Finally, a set of actions ends.

Even Xu Xin could tell that his energy was exhausted.

And under the camera's facial capture, every ferocious expression of his, every expression of exhaustion was completely captured.

In the end, he threw out a somewhat deformed saber flower, stood among corpses lying on the ground, facing the camera, shaking his body...

Three cameras running simultaneously, the last one, were aimed directly at his expression.

"Shaking... Hurry up and shake..."

Xu Xin stared at the monitor and muttered to himself:
"Release that last emotion..."

As if hearing his words, Jay Chou's body in the close-up shot began to tremble, using the anger technique he learned from Xu Xin to make his temples swell, his eyes fixed on one point while trembling...

Without blinking.

Soon, because of the dryness of the eyes, tears appeared in the sockets.

And because of the uncomfortable pain, the shaking of his body became more natural...

Today the weather is very muggy with rain.

The suit Jay Chou was wearing was stuffy, with the plasma and dirty expression on his face, as well as the fine sweat on his forehead and temples...

The entire close-up screen...Xu Xin saw Jay Chou's best performance so far!

"OK!"

Finally, after capturing the side he wanted, Zhang Yimou picked up the walkie-talkie:
"pass!"

As soon as the words fell, Jay Chou swayed in the middle of the field, in the center of the "dead bodies"... and sat down on the ground.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

Severe gasps sounded from the monitor earphones.

this scene...

It can be regarded as finished.

And it seems like even God gave him face...

The filming is over.

Tick-tock raindrops fell from the sky.

"..."

Xu Xin, who just breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously locked on Gong Li who had been standing under the chrysanthemum stage, waiting for a long time...

have to……

Ruined.

……

The crew waited on the set for a while, praying that the rain would stop for a while, and shoot all the scenes of Fa Ge and Gong Li.

After all, the makeup of these two people is very difficult to draw.

Not to mention the hard work of the make-up artist, it is also hard work for the actors just sitting there.

But who knows... After waiting for half an hour, seeing the meaning of not stopping, although helpless, Zhang Yimou waved his hand:
"Accept. Tell them, if the weather is good tomorrow, then the end will be later, and try to finish the rest of the filming...Everyone, be prepared to stay up late."

Liu Guonan nodded to express his understanding.

Then, everyone started packing their things.

At this time, Xu Xin heard the phone buzzing in his pocket.

Take it out and take a look... Immediately, my eyes widened in surprise.

This message was not sent by someone else, but by Liu Yifei.

"...?"

He instinctively looked at his girlfriend next to him.

"what's wrong?"

Yang Mi, who had been yawning furtively, asked casually.

Then she saw the content of "Xu Xin, are you there? I have something to tell you. Is it convenient for you" in her boyfriend's text message, and the sender's name "Liu Yifei", she was a little confused .

"...?"

The two just looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

Xu Xin's first words came out first:
"This is our first message."

"..."

Yang Mi blinked...

First nod:

"Uh-huh."

then……

"What is she going to do?"

"How do I know... may I ask?"

"Well, you can ask."

So Xu Xin replied:
"Yes, what's wrong?"

After replying, he looked at his girlfriend again:
"Let's not play that kind of second-guessing angry thing, okay?"

"How fresh~"

The girl rolled her eyes:
"Let's see what she wants to do first."

"Om."

The other party replied:

"SMS is inconvenient, can we talk on the phone? Is it convenient for you?"

"..."

"..."

The young couple stared at each other again...

"What should I do..."

"...you fight and see what's going on."

"Sure?"

"Sure."

"……it is good."

Xu Xin responded, and led his girlfriend to the corner of the city wall first.

Anyway, the crew has to tidy up for a while now, and Zhang Yimou is also there to check the film shot today...

The two of them arrived under a pergola that had been emptied, turned on the speakerphone, and Xu Xin called back directly.

"Beep beep, beep, hello, Xu Xin."

On the phone, Liu Yifei's voice rang.

"Well, Yifei, hello. What's the matter?"

Hearing this address, Yang Mi rolled her eyes.

But he didn't say anything, just saw his boyfriend touching the cigarette, took the cigarette case directly, took out a cigarette from it, and handed it to his mouth.

And from passing the cigarette, to lighting it, to Xu Xin taking a puff.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Xu Xin couldn't help asking:
"Hey?"

"……Where are you?"

"The crew, it's raining now, I'm just about to go back... what's wrong?"

"Then... is Mimi by your side?"

As Liu Yifei's question rang out from the speaker, Yang Mi frowned.

His eyes were full of doubts.

she……

What are you doing?
