I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 1129 1124

Chapter 1129 1124.
December 2019, 6.

France.

Palace of Versailles.

"My grass..."

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Wang Sicong swearing next to him, Xu Xin, who was sitting in the audience seats, asked in confusion.

"..."

Wang Sicong was speechless, but he stretched out his hand, which was dragging his daughter Xiaojiu, also known as LUCKY, from the bottom.

Xu Xin saw a water stain on his hand.

Instantly, he understood what was going on and said speechlessly:
"Who changed it? Why is it leaking?"

"...Seventh Brother."

"...Really? Can a mother change her side?"

"I'm drunk too."

Wang Sicong was also speechless.

"I knew she was unreliable...I would have come if I had known."

As he spoke, he glanced at his daughter with cute eyes, and after finding her innocent and nonchalant expression, he continued to hold her in his arms.

I plan to go after watching Lao Lang’s ceremony.

However, Yang Mi and Wei next to them ignored the mutterings of the two people who were "sitting together".

When they saw Gina walking towards them from the palace gate surrounded by flower girls, they both stood up and raised their phones...

If for no other reason than for the little flower girls, Nuannuan, Yangyang, Ximing, and Lunzi’s daughter Hathaway.

Even Romeo called Hathaway "Sister" after seeing her.

"Tsk."

Holding his daughter whose butt was wet, the young master's face showed a touch of emotion.

"Old Xu."

"what?"

"Don't you think we are all getting old? Xiao Qi is already this big."

Xu Xin rolled his eyes directly:
"Nuannuan and Yangyang are the oldest. You feel old, but what about me?"

"Tsk."

The eldest young master still looked emotional.

Then... suddenly his eyes turned:
"Hey, when we go on stage to take a group photo later, I'll just do this..."

Under Xu Xin's gaze, he held his daughter horizontally.

He pointed the large wet stain on his pants forward.

Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

"You want Lucky to pull out your tube in the future, right?"

"Hey, I think this is great."

"Then you try it."

"Hey hey hey..."

And what should be said or not.

Lao Wang is a real man.

A mouthful of spit and a nail.

He's really good at it.

Under the photographer's lens, after everyone counted down "three, two, one", he really carried his daughter up like a cannon.

Xu Xin, who was next to him, twitched his mouth.

He had a premonition.

Lao Wang definitely deserves a quick death.

This person... is really good at getting along.

He is so cruel to his own daughter.

Will you kill people without blinking an eye from now on?

Lang Lang's wedding came to an end with LUCKY laughing as he was carried up.

When photos of the scene were leaked online, one netizen’s comment became a brilliant reply.

"F4 are all married now, and it seems our youth is over too."

……

"Director Xu, is this a deal?"

"Well, okay. There's nothing we can do. We definitely won't be able to make it in time for this year's tribute film. Because of the Olympics, everything has to be postponed. So let's put it off until the end of the year. It just so happens that there are scenes that were filmed in winter, so we can start work at the end of the year..."

"Okay. Then I'll report it now?"

"it is good."

In the office of Xiying, Xu Xin and the people from the Propaganda Department finalized the filming plan for "Changjin Lake".

He then devoted himself to the creativity of the Olympics.

This year's Olympic opening ceremony is a mixture of old and new.

The old people, such as Zhai Guoqiang and Ma Wen, came, but also brought a lot of new people.

In particular, a special department has been set up for the display of high-tech technologies.

When old friends meet, there is no need for pleasantries.

Over the past few years, since Director Zhang was confirmed as the chief director of the opening ceremony, we have met him countless times.

They were all comrades-in-arms during the 08 Olympics and have kept in touch privately. The relationship is there and there is no need for any small talk.

As for the design of this Olympics...to be honest, it is still relatively "simple" for everyone, including Xu Xin.

There is no other reason.

Just because they stand on the shoulders of giants.

There is no need to elaborate on the country's rapid growth.

When the director team was formed and held meetings with various departments, everyone, including those from aerospace, gave their commitment.

"There won't be any difficulties this time. Yimou, don't worry, we are no longer in 08! Now as long as you come up with a plan, even if you want the moon in the sky, we will pick it for you!"

The second half of the sentence is a joke.

But it came from the chief engineer who was in charge of the liaison between the aerospace department and the opening ceremony director team.

He was joking, but behind it was the strong confidence that after more than ten years of development, there was only one competitor left to be surpassed in the world!
If he says he can do it, he can do it!

The director team only needs to come up with the best plan!
But it is not just this that really gives directors strong confidence.

And...these creative ideas filled up three whole rooms.

Those are the treasures created and left behind by the best artistic talents in China during the 08 Olympic Games!

Some of these things are even better than the 08 Olympics.

However, the reason why it was not adopted was that some of the plans were technically impossible to implement at that time.

To put it bluntly, the technology at the time was not enough to sustain it.

But now...

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the LED screen.

At the beginning, Xu Xin had to visit many countries, from Panasonic to LG, to inspect and practice this pressure-resistant screen one by one, and finally pin his hopes on the illusory luck for the results.

But now...

Ha ha.

Director Xu, please tell me.

How many kilograms of load-bearing capacity do you want and what kind of strength do you want?

You tell me a number.

Give me a solution.

We'll get it straight to you!
That's nothing.

and……

Made in the country!
They're all fucking made in China!
Because in this era, things from China are the best damn!

then.

Many things that were once difficult have become simple.

Many of the once rugged roads have turned into the smoothest plains.

The treasures of the three houses, combined with the achievements of today's people, are carried forward by this mixed team of new and old...

When one plan after another was moved from the Olympic Building to the Bird's Nest Olympic Sports Management Center, everything... seemed to become simpler.

Even Zhang Yimou himself said:
"This time the work is unexpectedly simple."

Even the imperial teacher, who is under the greatest pressure and carries the expectations of countless Chinese people, said so.

From this we can see what kind of future the Celestial Empire has reached today!

Without external technical pressure, the director team's creativity became more and more imaginative.

First, the director team identified the core behaviors.

Or the core idea.

"The snowflakes in Yanshan are as big as a mat, and the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky."

After this idea was finalized, everyone returned to their own work.

In 19, all they need to do is provide creative ideas.

One year of creativity, one year of practice, one year of rehearsal and practice, and finally in 22 years, a wonderful opening ceremony was presented to everyone.

Therefore, for everyone, this collision of creative ideas in 19 is destined to be easy.

There is no longer the urgency, tension and pressure of 08.

There is no need to dance with more shackles.

Back then, my door was always open, hoping everyone would come.

Now, the door of my house is always open, and people come here naturally to hear about my reputation.

When the status is different, everything changes from different perspectives.

Became different.

There is no need to please, consider, or care about others...we just need to show what we have.

Therefore, the artists "let go" of themselves, and the collision of various fantastic ideas made every large and small meeting a flourishing Renaissance-like event.

Everyone is enjoying it.

Except Xu Xin...

Of course, Xu Xin also enjoyed it.

But apart from enjoying himself, he is much busier than others.

After all, the old man's energy is indeed not as good as before.

This is an undeniable fact.

He now has to take a lunch break every day, as the stomach problems he suffered when he was young are repeatedly tormenting him.

Compared with 08, he is like a different person.

Apart from his aesthetic taste which was still world-leading, the rest of the time, as he sat there becoming increasingly thinner, he looked like an ordinary old man.

Xu Xin even found that his waist began to hunch.

Time urges people to grow old.

Time is not forgiving.

Old man...have you not spared the years?
Xu Xin didn’t know.

But he only knew that he had to do something.

So, as one of the assistant directors, he directly and completely helped the old man to reduce his burden.

Old man, just talk to me about creativity every day, and teach me everything else.

Just like the former chief eunuch.

As long as it was within the director's capabilities, he took care of it all.

From top to bottom, no matter how big or small.

So much so that outside the director team, he was jokingly called the "Prince Regent" who went from being a "Grand Chamberlain"...

But, I have to admit it.

The old people all know Xiao Xu's abilities.

Very relieved.

Even if the newcomers don’t know Director Xu’s abilities, they have all heard of the title of “Grand Eunuch” over the years.

With the support of the elderly, they will support them no matter whether they are worried or not.

And as time went by, I felt relieved when I found that everything about the entire director team and the opening ceremony was well organized.

So, the year 19 passed very quickly.

And July of this year belongs to Xu Xin.

He has a producing work and a directing work released on the 15th of this month.

The production work is an animation produced by Light Chaser, called "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World".

This is an animated film exclusively invested by Light Chaser, produced by Xu Xin and directed by Jiaozi.

Thanks to the reputation that "Chasing Light" has accumulated in the animation film industry in recent years, as well as Xu Xin's reputation as a gold medal producer, this movie broke countless records as soon as it was released.

Finally, when it was taken offline after the National Day, it brought 50 billion yuan in box office revenue to Light Chasing.

Although it did not surpass "Wolf Warrior 2", which was also directed by Xu Xin, but... when an animation can get a box office of 50 billion, the revitalization of this industry is unstoppable.

Xu Xin was naturally happy with this result.

because……

At the very least, one of the long-cherished wishes when "Chasing Light" was founded has been realized.

Not to mention today's special effects industry... not to mention surpassing it, but at least it has reached the advanced level of Hollywood.

what?
You do not believe?
If you don’t believe it, go and watch “The Wandering Earth” which is full of Chinese values!

Although Guo Fan, this Daji, was almost scolded by Xu Xin, and complained about the pain of being taken advantage of by him on various occasions...

But who doesn’t know that you two are wearing the same pair of pants?

"Chasing Light" is one of the investors!

Who are you two showing your affection to?

This company, in which Pusi Capital has invested more than 10 billion over the years, has become one of the most well-known special effects visual companies in China and even the world.

Success doesn’t have to be me.

I will definitely be part of the success.

Together with a few good friends, he fulfilled the promise he had made.

The Hollywood action film he directed, "John Wick 3", which has formed its own "killer universe", also had good box office performance.

During its release, the film grossed 24 billion yuan in China alone.

Even though it encountered competition from blockbusters such as "Avengers 4", "Detective Pikachu", "Aladdin", "Godzilla 2", and "X-Men: Dark Phoenix", it still fought its way out with the good reputation accumulated from its two previous works.

Moreover, because it was released simultaneously around the world, the entire "John Wick 3" earned a total of 7.12 million US dollars worldwide.

The "John Wick" series has become Paramount's most profitable IP, no doubt about it!

Moreover, after the release of "John Wick 3", Paramount announced the official launch of the first spin-off of the Hitman universe, "The Continental Hotel". Director Gord Hsu will serve as the artistic consultant...

Although in recent years audiences have been saying that Xu Xin is addicted to being a producer and no longer makes good movies.

But I have to admit that any movie about him is good.

He is, as the audience believes, the No. 1 who truly makes money while standing!

Especially in this…for some reason, it feels like there are more and more good movies, but also more and more bad movies in the film and television industry!

But these have nothing to do with him anymore.

Regardless of the current vitality of Xiying or the mixed crowd in this circle, he basically keeps silent.

No one else could interview him.

The people who were able to interview him were all official media, and they wouldn't ask weird questions.

Xu Xin has always been very low-key.

Even though he has achieved such results.

The Olympics seemed to be his best cover.

In this way, time continued until the end of the year...

then……

The first thing to be affected was that the filming plan of "Changjin Lake" was postponed.

And Xu Xin also returned home.

Every day, we can only handle work online.

However, he is still quite optimistic.

The difficulties will not last long and will definitely be overcome soon.

then……

On the first day of 2020, he got good news.

Because the Okamoto cigarettes at home were all used up...the couple had no other choice.

After indulging herself for a few days, at the beginning of the month, Yang Mi's usually punctual relatives did not come.

Then... the whole family searched through boxes and cupboards and found a pregnancy test stick and tested it like this...

He's going to be a dad again.

He was shocked, ecstatic, incredulous, yet a little panicked as if it was the first time.

But after seeing this result, Yang Mi was very calm.

When she saw her husband's anxious look, she just shrugged calmly:

"Yes. I've talked to Nuannuan and Yangyang before, and they don't have any objections. Besides, they are already eleven years old, and when the baby is born, they will be able to love their younger brother or sister."

When Nuannuan and Yangyang heard the news, they gave the same response.

Warm:

"I know, Dad. I hope it's a sister. I like girls... Dad, can I play with my phone for a while?"

Yangyang:

"Ah? ...Dad, let my mom give birth to a boy, okay? Don't be like Xu Wanqing, she's too stupid."

"Xu Weizhen, do you want to die?!"

"Look, Dad, this stupid woman..."

"I'll beat you up!"

"Hey, I can't hit it. I'm so mad at you... Hey! Hey! I just can't hit it!"

"Ah! Don't run! Hey! Half-step Collapse Punch!!!"

aside.

"..."

The old father and the newly pregnant mother watched the brother and sister start to do it again...

Xu Xin:

"Fortunately, I bought the house next door two years ago. Our house, which is half the size of a football field, is enough for our two children to run around."

Yang Mi:

"What a sin... If you knew there were two of them left, I would have stuffed them back into my stomach no matter what."

Xu Xin:

"6."

……

The news of Yang Mi's pregnancy was only told to a small circle of family members.

When Xu Daqiang heard this, he immediately wanted to find a connection from Shenmu to come to Yanjing...

In parentheses, bring along Aunt Liang who did not go home for the Chinese New Year this year.

But Xu Xin rejected it.

At this time, using privileges is the greatest sin.

Besides...my father-in-law and mother-in-law are here, so food and drink won't be a problem.

He just needs to find someone who can do the examination normally.

With Director Xu's reputation, this matter is naturally nothing.

But still be careful about protection...

To put it in short.

Since his wife confirmed her pregnancy during the Chinese New Year, Xu Xin has been staying at home for a long time in the true sense.

But the work still has to be done.

It's just changed to online.

On the first day of the new year, although separated by a screen, Xu Xin, as the final summarizer, still said to all colleagues in the channel:
"Comrades, in the final summary, I will just speak directly to you about what I think."

In the living room, he said word by word to the computer:

"In 08, we also went through what we are experiencing now. At times like this, the more we need a shot of adrenaline to boost the spirits of our entire country and even the entire Chinese nation! Therefore, the mission we shoulder has been given special significance. Absolutely! Absolutely! We cannot afford to fail!"

At this point, Yangyang who was drawing, Nuannuan who was playing with her phone, and Yang Mi who was leaning on the sofa drinking bird's nest and watching TV, all turned their eyes over.

Looking at my dad/husband sitting on the sofa in the sunshine...

I saw him take a deep breath.

She spoke into the microphone word by word, her face slightly flushed with emotion:
"Please remember that the interests of the motherland are above all else!"

"..."

At that moment, the three of them had no idea what the people on the screen were thinking.

But in their eyes...

Hubby/Dad is glowing.

……

It’s the golden September of 20.

“Director Xu, now that the situation has eased a bit, we hope to start the filming plan for ‘Changjin Lake’. Now… you also know that we need some positive works that can unite our will.”

"...Okay, because of the special period, I directly selected the actors from the acting troupe in the factory."

"no problem."

So, National Day.

Central media disclosed that director Xu Xin announced that the work "Changjin Lake", which has been in preparation for 7 years, has entered the preparation stage.

Xu Xin also left home.

But the good news is he doesn't have to go far.

After all, my daughter-in-law is due in late November.

As for the mission on her husband's shoulders, Yang Mi, whose belly was already growing bigger, just gave him a passionate kiss when he left the house and told him:
"You must win a great battle. My child and I will be waiting for you to come back!"

The crew of "Changjin Lake" began selecting locations, casting and preparations.

At the same time, the preliminary performance plan for the Winter Olympics opening ceremony was submitted for review.

11 month 27 number.

Yang Mi posted a photo on Weibo.

That was a photo of Xu Xin holding a swaddled baby and smiling.

"Six pounds and two ounces, a boy. We named him: Xu Ping'an. Family, country, and country. May everything be safe and sound."

In the afternoon, the news that Yang Mi gave birth to her third child topped the trending searches.

12 month 10 number.

The crew of "Changjin Lake" started filming in a low-key manner on Weibo.

When the filming started, Xu Xin personally promised to reporters:

"This is a gift for our motherland's birthday next year."

……

In May, the music community received an invitation.

Call for submissions for the ending song for "The Watergate Bridge at Lake Changjin".

No limit on the type of music.

I don't know how many people heard the news and took action.

……

In August, the media photographed Gong Linna, Xu Xin, and another... rap singer who has only become popular in the past two years - Pharaoh having dinner together.

But no one understands its meaning.

9 month 15 number.

The official Weibo account of "Changjin Lake" released a clip of the movie's ending song.

Gong Linna's ethereal voice is singing:

"The moon is out, so bright..."

Netizens thought it was just average...

Neither good nor bad.

"The Battle of Changjin Lake" will be released in theaters at 9 pm on September 30.

Let’s not talk about the plot for now.

At around 10 o'clock, in the hot searches related to "Changjin Lake", the most popular opinion was:
"Long live the New Heavenly Dynasty!"

#小河转水(Pharaoh, Gong Linna)# became a hot topic.

Subsequently, the box office of "The Battle of Changjin Lake" began to explode.

There have been countless discussions about it.

Both the plot and the quality.

It can be said that Director Xu Xin lived up to his promise.

This is his gift to the motherland.

But... just when the movie's box office was rising steadily and breaking records, Xu Xin once again... disappeared.

Because, in less than 4 months, the Olympics will begin!

……

The final box office of "Changjin Lake" was 57 billion.

But its achievements are far beyond the box office.

Especially in this period when cinema chains are in a slump.

But, at this moment, there is something more important coming.

Starting from mid-January, as athletes from various countries arrived at the Olympic Village, the Olympic atmosphere suddenly became stronger.

More and more people are looking forward to what kind of surprises the Winter Olympics will bring to everyone.

Some media even caught Yang Mi, who was pushing her baby in a stroller.

Unfortunately, when facing the reporter's interview, Yang Mi's answer was:
"I don't know. He hasn't been back for several months."

The reporter didn't know whether it was true or not.

In the end I had to give up.

And this is indeed the case.

Although the situation has been relaxed a lot now, for safety's sake, he still tries to reduce the number of times he goes home... Not to mention, this is the same as during the 08 Olympics.

But no matter what, he is still busy.

Busy with this performance dedicated to everyone.

Finally, February 2th arrived...

……

"Just like before."

Wang Sicong looked at Xu Xin sitting on the podium and murmured.

Liang Bingning, who was sitting above him, lowered the brim of her hat slightly and asked Xu Daqiang next to her:

"He was... right here?"

"Ah."

Xu Daqiang nodded.

"Right here, at this location."

His eyes were full of pride.

"..."

Liang Bingning was speechless.

He turned his head and glanced at Xu Xin, who was concentrating on communicating something with his headphones on. After thinking for a moment, he whispered:
"Is it really okay for Mimi not to come?"

"Nothing. She and the children have never been infected before, so it's not a good idea to come."

"……All right."

At this time, Xu Xin seemed to have finished the communication and took off his headphones.

Looking at the family members coming here, he smiled and waved his hand:
"As usual, I'm busy now and I won't bother with you guys anymore."

"Don't worry about us."

"You're busy."

"Lao Xu, come on!"

Amidst these blessings, Xu Xin nodded and walked directly into the real director's room.

Today is the beginning of spring.

Good day.

As it should, it shines brightly!
Soon, it was 2pm on February 4th.

All the Olympic directors gathered in the warm director's room.
