I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 118
It was less than 1:[-] when we came out of Shinsegae Department Store.

The two carried two bags each, only to discover an embarrassing thing.

Ferrari's "rear" trunk does not fit.

Out of the four big plastic bags, I put down three bags.

Put the fourth bag and you can't close the lid.

The main thing is that I bought a lot of things today, and a bunch of messy things really take up a lot of space.

"Why so small. Not as big as my dad's Corolla."

Xu Xin had no room to refute these words. He picked out the smallest plastic bag and put it in the space under the co-pilot's feet. He said:
"Now you know why you don't like to drive it?"

"I probably understand. It's not useful~"

Barely stuffing her own feet, the girl sitting in the co-pilot felt a little aggrieved.

But still urged:
"Let's go, listen to cross talk."

"Ah."

In the underground garage, the powerful roar of Ferrari sounded again.

……

"Brother Xu, Sister Mi~ This way~"

Seeing the biscuits with their heads protruding from the small door, Xu Xin and Yang Mi had smiles on their faces:
"Shaobing, do you miss us?"

"Hey, sister, what are you and Brother Xu doing these days?"

As the three of them entered the passage of the small gate and walked towards the backstage of the show, Shaobing asked.

"Go to work, I'm so busy~ I'll be back soon~"

Yang Mi explained.

As a result, after walking a few steps, two young people came to meet their faces.

One is fat and one is thin.

But after seeing Shaobing and Yang Mi and Xu Xin following behind, he was taken aback for a moment, and then stood politely by the side and did not leave.

Xu Xin thought that there was something wrong with these two people, but he didn't expect that after the biscuits walked in, the two young people who were obviously a few years older than the biscuits shouted respectfully:
"Master."

"?"

Yang Mi first looked at the way the little biscuit was being held, and then nodded politely to the two.

After the two sides passed each other and walked away, she squeezed Shaobing's face:
"Okay, Xiaobing, are you a senior brother?"

"Hehe~"

Shaobing smiled proudly:

"He just came here in the spring of this year. He is a student of the Crane Character Department. He hasn't learned a teacher yet, so he shouldn't be called like that, but I don't choose, I can take care of them."

"Ok, Ok."

The girl looked relieved:
"Our pancakes have grown up too~"

Xu Xin kept rolling his eyes while listening.

Didn't you also meet this kid after a year?

It's the same as how many years you've known someone.

Then I walked to the backstage entrance, and the performance of the two actors had already started.

But no one laughed for the time being.

And there were three or four people standing at the back entrance.

"Cough cough."

Shaobing coughed softly.

When several people turned their heads, they quickly greeted respectfully:
"Master."

"Shh."

Shaobing put up a finger, meaning don't disturb the performance of the people on stage.

Then he said to the nearest person:
"Go and get two chairs with backs."

He looked like a little grown-up.

Soon, two chairs were brought over, Shaobing said to Yang Mi in a low voice:

"Sister, look at it first, I'm going over there."

"Okay, you don't live tonight, do you?"

"No."

"Then tell Teacher Li Jing, let's go eat~"

"Okay~"

This time the biscuits were not polite, so they happily agreed.

And the two of them sat down under the curious gazes of these Crane Scientists. As soon as they sat down, the girl leaned into her boyfriend's ear:

"I found out, these people are sneaking at me~"

"..."

Xu Xin turned his head naturally.

Looking at these young people who waited for him to turn his head and look away, he nodded slightly:

"Ah."

Then he hugged his girlfriend's shoulders.

"...hehe~"

Yang Mi seemed to understand his style of swearing sovereignty. After laughing twice, she leaned on her boyfriend's shoulder and yawned lazily.

"Ha~uh."

Woke up too early today, a little sleepy.

Cross talk...

Actually sleep well.

No... the two actors on the stage were talking...

She doesn't know anything.

I vaguely remember being woken up several times by applause and cheers in the middle.

But in a daze, she remembered that she was sleeping on her boyfriend's lap...

Then, when she was awakened by the huge cheers, she subconsciously shuddered, and after sitting up, she realized that there was another chair beside her at some point.

No one is sitting on this chair, it seems to be used for lying down.

"..."

Dazed for a moment, he glanced at Guo Degang and Yu Qiang on the stage...

"How long have I slept?"

Xu Xin glanced at the phone and said:

"More than two hours."

"……so long?"

"That's right. Seeing that you are having a hard time sleeping, I asked Shaobing to add another chair for you."

"Uh……"

The girl stared straight at the stage again and yawned.

Tilt your head towards your boyfriend:
"I didn't sleep well. I have to go back to the dormitory tonight and get a good sleep."

"Good~"

Pressing against her boyfriend's shoulder, she put her hand on his boyfriend's leg in order to find something to hold it on.

As a result, it froze immediately...

Head down.

Under the afterglow of the stage, the two pieces of dark blue are particularly conspicuous on the blue jeans that her boyfriend is wearing today.

She touched it in disbelief...

wet...

"This……"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Xu Xin said:
"Oh, don't be afraid, it's not your saliva, it's me peeing my pants."

"..."

The girl is not afraid.

just blushing...

Lost adults today!

……

The cross talk between Guo Degang and Yu Qiang is still fun. As the finale performance, it is dedicated to all audiences in return far exceeding the 20 yuan ticket price.

After the encore was over, Xu Xin and Yang Mi stood up and walked out of Paradise through the small gate.

After waiting at the door for a short time, Shaobing ran out:

"Brother Xu, Sister Mi."

"Hey, let's go."

Yang Mi responded, and took him straight to Lao Jin to cook meat.

Xu Xin discovered that Yanjing locals should have a special feeling for shabu-shabu. Eating shabu-shabu in winter is called tonic.Indeed, eating mutton in winter is to warm up the body in Guyang... But the reason for eating meat in summer is a bit weird.

What are you talking about sweating in summer...

This reason sounds a bit outrageous to Xu Xin.

But he could tell that Yang Mi really liked eating this.

Maybe it's because I haven't eaten for a long time, this time there are two more dishes than last time.

It's all eaten by the girl herself.

Three people, more than a dozen plates of meat, plus six bottles of Arctic Ocean to satisfy their cravings, and they ate a meal until nearly 8 o'clock.

After sending the biscuits back, the couple held hands and took a walk in the Dashilan Pedestrian Street.

On summer nights, the street is very lively.

Hand in hand, they bought a cup of sour plum soup and shared them. Yang Mi touched her belly and said:

"I'll go back to school later, are you busy these days?"

"how?"

"Let's buy some gifts, and I'll take you to see Teacher Yu? How about it?"

When Xu Xin heard the name "Teacher Yu", the first thing Xu Xin thought of was Yu Zhen, and then Yu Qiang, but he immediately realized:
"The sword master?"

"Correct."

"...Are you really planning to learn?"

"How can it be fake?"

Yang Mi tilted her head, suddenly let go of her boyfriend's hand, and took half a step towards the air in front of her:

"Hi! Half-step Bengquan!"

"..."

There was a lot of movement from her, and the people around her immediately looked over.

Xu Xin's scalp felt a little numb.

I didn't see it... Your old man is still a social cow?

This...how embarrassing, how secondary!
In his strange expression, the girl took her boyfriend's hand again:
"How is it? Have you improved a lot?"

"..."

We don't know if you are refined or not.

You are thick-skinned.

After muttering something in his stomach, he asked:

"Learning martial arts is hard, isn't it?"

He used to support it... But after the two confirmed their relationship, he really didn't want his girlfriend to suffer...

I can't bear it myself.

Why go to others to suffer?

But Yang Mi is very firm:
"You have to learn it. Before leaving, Master Yu told me that Xingyiquan is not suitable for girls to practice. So he only taught me posture... Then he said that he knows a little bit of Baguazhang, so he can teach it first. This is me. And if I really want to learn, you can take me to worship the master, hehe~ I have met a noble person."

"Baguazhang?...Taiji Yinyang Bagua Chain Palm?"

"Hmm...is the name so long? I don't know. Anyway, Teacher Yu said that girls are especially good-looking in fighting. It's like your... Butterflies wearing flowers~ Anyway, I will practice more, practice martial arts to strengthen my body, I can still keep my figure. I practiced these routines first, and then I dared to take on Kung Fu dramas. Anyway, practicing dance at school is also practicing, and practicing martial arts is also practicing. I can also protect myself... If anyone dares to blow up with me in the future, I will Just hi!!"

As soon as she shook off her boyfriend's hand, in broad daylight, she punched another half-step...

In fact, the others are fine.

The main reason is that she doesn't know where she learned this move... Before punching, she must call out the move.If you don’t shout or say you’re uncomfortable, you have to add a modal particle in front of it…

Xu Xin immediately felt that he was dead.

So embarrassing.

"Hey young man, why are you walking so fast!"

In the eyes of the people around, "such a beautiful girl, what a pity she is a fool", the girl saw her boyfriend walking forward without looking back, and immediately yelled.

As soon as Xu Xin heard her address, she walked even faster.

Miss, let me go.

so embarrassing...

"Young hero? Slow down, young hero~ Hey~~~ What are you running, young hero~ Don't run away, young hero! I am a good person!!"

Are these girls crazy?
Xu Xin's face turned red.

I just feel that people around me are looking at me like a mental illness.

What a shame!

Are you a good person? ...I don't think you are a good person at all!
……

"Why are you shy, anyway, you don't know anyone on the street!"

"Don't talk to me, my dad won't let me play with the retarded!"

"Hey hey hey~ oh my good brother~ come and give me a kiss, I've been thinking about it for a day~ come and kiss~"

After finally getting back into the car, I don’t know if it’s because I ate too much mutton and burned my brain or something, so the sisters started to have fun.

Xu Xin finally calmed down, and then sent him to school.

Then the sister didn't know whether it was because she ate too much mutton or what was going on, so she suddenly said:
"Hey, I slept head to head with your ex-girlfriend~"

Xu Xin was so bored that he kicked the brakes.

Speechless:
"Why are you bringing this up again?"

"Hum~"

Who knew that the girl just turned her head proudly:

"I just remind you that you are mine now, don't think about your ex-girlfriend, you know!"

"I didn't even think about it~"

"Well... hey, do you like her more or me more?"

"..."

"Why don't you talk?"

"..."

"Why don't you talk?"

"..."

"If you don't talk, I will assume that you like me a lot~"

"...You really broke your brain by eating mutton?"

"Hehehe~"

This time, it was her turn to raise her boyfriend's hand:
"Just to tease you~ I'm just teasing you, do I really mind? I'm so beautiful, and I can still fight~ Where can I find a strange woman like me? Are you right, young man?"

Xu Xinxin said whether you are beautiful or not is another matter, if you can type it to see.

But you specified is a little sick.

……

When the dormitory closed at 9:20, a girl with slightly swollen lips appeared in front of the dormitory.

Running upstairs all the way, with a happy mood, she pushed open the door of the dormitory:

"Sisters! I'm gaining weight!!"

Yuan Shanshan was the only one in the dormitory.

Sitting in front of the computer watching a movie.

Hearing the movement, he turned his head and blinked immediately:
"Honey?"

"..."

Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, and then showed a bright smile:

"Hey, Shanshan~ Did you miss me~"

Yuan Shanshan stood up wearing a very loose pajamas:
"You're done!"

While speaking, she greeted Yang Mi and gave her a big hug.

"That's right, it's over... Where are Sister Liu and Sister Wang?"

She was talking about two other juniors in the dormitory.

"I don't know. I said I would go on a trip before May Day, but I haven't come back yet."

Yuan Shanshan shook her head, then asked curiously:
"Is the filming of "Sculpture of God" finished?"

"No, I still have to go to Jiuzhaigou... I have to go back and take a few shots in a few days."

As Yang Mi said, she walked towards her bed next to the window, stepped on the bed with one foot, and unfolded the bed roll that she had folded before leaving.

"Has anything changed in the school these past few months?"

"No……"

Yuan Shanshan shook her head first, but immediately remembered something.

"By the way, Xu...Xu Xin seems to have dropped out of school."

Yang Mi, who was still spreading the quilt, paused slightly, and then responded naturally:
"Well, I know."

"……you know?"

Yuan Shanshan was taken aback.

"Correct."

Without raising her head, Yang Mi said:
"He has some things to do over there. Director Yu gave him a suspension from school. I know about it."

"..."

Now, Yuan Shanshan, who had been watching him make the bed, seemed a little speechless.

But at this moment, Yang Mi suddenly turned her head:

"Why? Still like him?"

"of course not!"

Yuan Shanshan instinctively denied it.

And Yang Mi seemed to have expected her reaction, nodded:

"Isn't that enough? It's all in the past, you have to look forward. Doesn't it have nothing to do with you if he keeps learning? Isn't it? Is it possible that you still want to reunite with him?...No, you two were not at first Is there nowhere?"

"……Yup."

For some reason, Yuan Shanshan always felt that what she said was a bit uncomfortable.

But I also understand that what my roommate said is the truth.

At that time, we were just in the stage of mutual affection.

but……

Why is it a bit awkward.

At this time, the girl who had already made the bed turned around and sat down on the head of the bed, "overlooking" Yuan Shanshan:

"So, it doesn't matter to you whether he suspends school or why he goes there?"

After the words fell, she quietly changed the subject again:
"Did you finish filming your commercial a while ago?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Yuan Shanshan nodded, with a smile on her face:
"Well, the filming is over. The director also asked me if I was interested in acting in a singer's MV. I agreed, but I didn't dare to ask which singer it was."

"MV? Yes."

The end of the previous topic seemed to reveal something.

The girl jumped down from the top bunk and took out her washbasin from the cabinet:

"I'm going to wash up first, we'll talk later."

"Ok~"

……

At 10 o'clock, after Xu Xin backed the car into the garage with one hand, he got out of the car with the phone in one hand.

"Okay, then I'll take a look now."

On the other end of the phone, Liu Momo's voice sounded:
"Then when shall we meet? Tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow...you can only make an appointment until noon. Come over to the Olympic Building at noon. I'll read the script tonight. Let's talk in detail tomorrow. How about it?"

"Okay, then I'll call you at noon tomorrow."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin walked into the study room where there was still a fresh smell in the air.

He didn't take the things he bought in the car, so he turned on the computer and logged into the mailbox.

An email with an attachment is already sitting in the inbox.

After downloading it, he unzipped it directly, looked at the four scripts above, and lit a cigarette on his own.

Looks like I have to stay up late tonight.

Shaking his head helplessly, he opened the first script.

……

Silent all night.

Before 9 o'clock in the morning, Xu Xin opened his reddish eyes.

By the way, he unplugged the USB flash drive on the laptop and walked out of the house with it.

He drove all the way to the Olympic Building. When he went, there were already 40 to [-] people in the big meeting room of the Olympic Building.

Zhang Yimou hasn't come yet.

Seeing this, Xu Xin went straight out again, came to the props room, and connected the USB flash drive to the computer.

The printer started to work, and after a while, he divided a stack of A4 papers with handwriting all over them into four parts, stapled them together and put them in his bag.

After returning to the meeting room again, he sat next to Wei Lanfang.

"Ha~~uh."

Hearing his repayment, Wei Lanfang said in bewilderment:
"Did you sleep well last night?"

"I stayed up all night and did something else."

Xu Xin shook his head:
"Where's Director Zhang?"

"He hasn't come yet. Didn't you watch it? Director Fan and Director Wang weren't there either... They said they talked until three or four in the morning last night, so they probably haven't woken up yet."

Really dedicated.

Xu Xin said with emotion.

After the words fell, Yu Zhen and Ma Wen all arrived.

When Yu Zhen entered the door, she went to Xu Xin first.

Seeing her student looking at her tiredly, Yu Zhen nodded slightly, found a seat and sat down.

When Zhang Yimou came, it was already close to 10:[-].

Fan Yue even started yawning non-stop as soon as he came in and sat on the chair.

Apparently he didn't have a good rest last night.

But no matter what, since people are here, they have to have a good meeting.In particular, the Olympic creative team has provided a lot of ideas here in Hengdian this month, and the people in the visual project team have presented them in the form of PPT+FLASH.

They want to see the results of this month's work first.

Then the curtains were drawn and the light dimmed.

One after another, whimsical ideas from the creative team began to appear on the screen.

Read them all first.

And after that, the sound of discussion rang out in the conference room.

……

1 o'clock noon.

Xu Xin walked out of the Olympic Building.

"Drip."

As soon as I left the compound, I saw a Volkswagen CC parked on the side of the road.

He walked over directly, opened the co-pilot's door and sat down, and said something to Liu Momo first:
"I'm sorry, Sister Mo, the meeting has not been adjourned until now."

"It's okay...what do you want to eat?"

"It's fine, just find a place where you can talk."

"it is good."

Liu Momo nodded, and drove Xu Xin to find a restaurant.

As he walked, he said:
"For "Wulin Biography", I will send a producer there at that time. I found it through headhunting, and I have a lot of experience in the industry. Don't worry."

"Ah."

After adjusting the chair back, Xu Xin asked:
"How's it going over there?"

"The main building of the inn is about to be completed. The decorations and sets have not yet entered. I asked Director Shang about the progress, and he said that if it is soon, it will start in July. The slowest is no more than mid-August, and the filming can start. And the actor's The schedule has been adjusted... By the way, he even asked me to ask you about the role of Zhu Wushuang..."

"Yes, I know."

Xu Xin nodded directly:

"Let my classmate act. Gain experience~"

Hearing this, Liu Momo didn't show any surprise on her face. Although she had never seen that girl before, after hearing it from Director Shang, she vaguely guessed that the relationship between the two should be unusual.

This is actually very common both at home and abroad.

It's completely normal for the producer to want to support or love a certain actor, and arrange to play a role in their own play.

So he responded directly:
"Okay, then I'll talk to him then. That's it?"

After chatting about the rumors of martial arts, the two also saw a Shanxi restaurant.

"Row."

Get off the bus, enter the restaurant and find that there are not many people.

But just to be on the safe side, Liu Momo ordered a small private room, ordered two dishes, two bowls of sliced ​​noodles, and then went straight to the point:

"Have you finished reading these four scripts?"

"finish watching."

Xu Xin took out the four scripts in English from his bag.

Liu Momo has already completed the translation for him.

Holding a teacup, she asked directly:

"how do you feel?"

Xu Xin didn't answer her directly, but asked back:
"These four scripts of yours are all from abroad... If you really invested, does that mean you still have to go abroad?"

"Yes."

"..."

When Xu Xin was speechless, she nodded bluntly.

"Liu...doesn't Uncle not want you to leave?"

"He wanted me to go back to China, and I came back. But it didn't stipulate that I couldn't run at both ends, right? When the script started shooting, I went to be the producer in person, and after the production was over, I came back. Isn’t it enough for a while? Isn’t the company in China? The foreign ones are just shells.”

"..."

Now Xu Xin really didn't know what to say.

With a wry smile:
"Then Uncle Liu doesn't think I'm "beneficiary"?"

"It's okay, don't be afraid."

Now it's Liu Momo's turn to comfort him:
"I'm ahead of you... Besides, Uncle Zhang said a lot of good things about you to my dad, and my dad is really relieved of you. My mother also asked how old you are... If you weren't nine years younger than me , I guess I might want to match the two of us."

"..."

Xu Xin's face was a little green.

And Liu Momo asked directly:
"Which of these four scripts do you like best?"

"this."

Xu Xin released a script.

The name of the script is "Once".

And Liu Momo translated it as "Once Upon a Time".

Seeing "Once Upon a Time" released by Xu Xin, Liu Momo's eyes lit up instantly:
"real?!"

"...Is it necessary to lie to you?"

Xu Xin couldn't help laughing out loud:
"Huh~ what? You like this too?"

"Well, John and I became friends through this script. We are very close friends. I think the story is very good, great. But... Vivendi rejected the script. So I stayed and planned to proceed directly. invest."

"Since you have decided to invest, what else do you want to tell me?"

Hearing this, Liu Momo was taken aback... Then he said helplessly:

"You are the major shareholder!"

"But the money is for you to spend."

Xu Xin said with a smile:
"I won't ask how to get the money, because I trust you."

What he said was actually a bit false.

Because in his heart, "relationship" is actually more important than money.

But this can't be said like "You can spend this money casually, I made the investment because of the relationship introduced by Director Zhang", right?
That's kind of low EQ.

Therefore, while showing his 100% trust, without giving the other party any chance to think deeply, he pointed to the four scripts and said:
"I took a look, and none of the four scripts seems to have a big investment. The least is "Once" with a budget of 20 US dollars. The most is "The Man from London" with a budget of 170 million US dollars... I To be honest, according to your method, if you want to shoot all four scripts, the budget may not be enough, right? And..."

He tapped the script of "The Man From London" emphatically:
"What do I think, how do I feel that the 170 million is just what I said..."

"It's actually already being filmed."

Liu Momo shook his head slightly:
"I came into contact with this script three years ago... This is my first script, so I have been paying attention to it. At present, its budget has reached 600 million euros, and the funder is only willing to give 400 million at most, So I thought..."

"...to invest all the 500 million...that I gave you?"

Xu Xin followed her words.

Then just reject it without thinking about it:
"I don't suggest you do this... It's not that I don't have money, nor does it mean that I don't like the script. It's just... Sister Mo, you have to remember that you are a businessman."

Looking into the other person's eyes, Xu Xin said seriously:
"And a businessman throwing everything at his fingertips ... would be foolish, and ... I have a hunch this movie is going to fail."

"..."

It can be seen that Liu Momo is actually quite surprised.

I didn't expect the opponent's words to change so quickly.

But she was just surprised, and shook her head to refute what Xu Xin said later:
"I think this is a very good script, so I have decided to invest. I think even if it can't be a big hit at the box office, it will definitely gain a good reputation for the company and at least keep its capital!"

"Is that so..."

Seeing that she seemed very persistent, Xu Xin didn't say much, and asked directly:
"How much to invest?"

"$150 million."

"...100 million?"

"Correct."

"so……"

Hearing this, Xu Xin nodded:

"Then vote."

"...?"

Liu Momo was taken aback suddenly:
"……Gone?"

She seemed extremely puzzled. After she said the words of insisting on investing, her financial backer was so easy to talk to.

But Xu Xin had a look of reason:

"That's right, didn't you promise at the beginning? I won't make decisions for you. The company is your word, so if you want to vote... then vote. By the way, what is the name of our company?"

"..."

Liu Momo was speechless for a while.

As a partner, she naturally has the obligation to explain the use of funds to the investor.So when I came here today, I had already made all the expected plans to persuade the other party.

But I really didn't expect...the other party would firmly fulfill the original promise.

This made her feel very surprised.

This investor...

Is it an angel?

If you put this situation in France, a group of directors would kneel down and call you daddy...

If you say you don't care, you really don't care!

There was a storm in her mind, but she still replied subconsciously:
"Headwind Entertainment."

"..."

The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched...

What's the name of this?
Who took it?
against the wind? ? ? ? ?

　It seems that after today's update, you will have the badge of "Daily Change [-]D"~!It's the last day of the month, ask for a monthly ticket! ! !
