I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 176. 174. Learn to be silent
"Do you really drive a Ferrari?"

"Fu second generation?"

"The landlord will explain in detail."

A group of people began to quote this news from netizens who only had an IP, and a series of questions began to follow.

Xu Xin couldn't sit still.

It's not that he was so unbearable in the past.

To put it bluntly, even if you ask Yuan Shanshan to say it, you won't be able to say anything bad about him.

Starting from the pursuit, eating, watching movies, sending flowers, giving gifts, what is not a first-line brand?Buy according to the price?
So he didn't feel anything... Ah, I'm so guilty.Or the uneasiness of being discovered by someone in the past that can't be looked back on.

Although he didn't know who this person was, he must be someone from his school.

He is not afraid to talk about it, and he is not afraid of people revealing his past.

But there is only one reason why he can't sit still, that is, don't bring any trouble to the Olympic team... especially Director Zhang.

After all, Director Zhang will be the first to bear the brunt of anything that happens during the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games.

So after thinking about it, he went into the bathroom again, washed his face and brushed his teeth quickly, and walked out of the house with his bag.

Yang Mi drove the Audi away, and he didn't plan to drive away in the Ferrari, after all, he had to get on the plane and return to Shenmu soon.So I took a taxi directly to the Olympic Building.

Along the way, he was browsing some related news on his mobile phone.

I found that the positive comments still accounted for the majority, but in the post bar in Cannes, some people have already started reposting the message, saying that I am actually a rich second-generation director...

There are quite a lot of people replying, and it has already broken a hundred.

Soon, the Olympic Building arrived. After getting out of the car, Xu Xin went straight to the small conference room.

Sure enough, Zhang Yimou was there, and he seemed to be talking about something with Zhang Wu and Zhai Guoqiang.

After seeing Xu Xin, he beckoned for Xu Xin to come in, and then asked:

"Why haven't you left yet?"

"What about the afternoon flight?"

Xu Xin sat beside him with a smile, and heard Zhang Wu jokingly say:
"It's ok, big star, the wind blows the earth overnight, and everyone knows it."

It's okay not to mention this, but when it is mentioned, Xu Xin gives a wry smile:
"Director Zhang, don't mention it, I'm here for this matter..."

"Ok?"

"Oh?"

"?"

All three showed puzzled eyes.

Xu Xin didn't hide it, and said directly:
"Isn't this news coming out this morning? It's nothing else... I just saw that some netizens picked up my freshman year, which is the black history when I first arrived at the school in 05. Why did I drive a Ferrari to and from school and skip classes? The black history of the class has been picked up. I am worrying... wondering if it will have any bad influence on our team."

Hearing this, Zhai Guoqiang was taken aback, and couldn't help but smile and said:

"Have you ever done something like this?"

His impression of Xu Xin has always been that this child has artistic talent, thinking, and maturity far beyond ordinary people.

You can't find anything wrong with how you treat people and things.

So at first glance, I was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhang Wu shook his head:

"Hey, who is still young and frivolous? I don't think it's okay, don't you have other things? The Ferrari is not stolen... Well, but I have to talk about you for skipping classes. Students, just study hard , why are you skipping class?"

"At that time, I was dazzled by Yanjing's colorful world, Director Zhang."

Xu Xin also has a feeling of "unbearable to look back":

"What do you think, what does Shenmu have? There is nothing. What happens after you come here? When you go to the mall, you can buy a piece of clothing for two or three thousand, three or five thousand. After you buy it, you carry their handbag, There will be a group of people staring at you. When you drive a Ferrari and hit the gas pedal casually on the street, the people next to you will all look at you with surprise and envy. Let alone go to bars and nightclubs. Go there [-] to [-], you open some champagne, the singer celebrates you while singing, and even brings people over to toast you, a group of beauties surround you, brother and brother flatter you..."

"Lost, huh?"

Zhang Wu made a summary, and in Xu Xin's nod, he expressed emotion:

"It's really like this... Having money and not spending it is really two different reasons from having money and having no place to spend it. When you say this, I remember my comrade-in-arms two years ago, who fell from the horse."

His eyes are filled with regret:
"He is from a small mountain village. He was in good shape when he was a soldier. His physical fitness... the whole company's training, he can reach the finish line half a day faster than others. You know? Leaders and others like him very much, plus I also worked hard, completed the tasks well every day, and after completing the tasks, I studied by myself and took the military academy exam, and I was admitted directly... But then I was injured in a training accident, and I was transferred to another place. I was assigned to Guangyue... Sigh."

With a long sigh, outsiders don't know how much regret and regret are hidden under the calm words.

And the story that follows is simple.

It's nothing more than not knowing what happened to become a protective umbrella... In the end, it was discovered and fell.

And the summary is:

"So sometimes I feel...you have to be famous as soon as possible, and you have to make money as soon as possible. After experiencing all the fame and fortune, squandering it, and having enough fun, I can calm down and start my own business in a down-to-earth way. Otherwise ...My comrade-in-arms is too, and you are too, it is too easy to be dazzled by the colorful world."

"But at least Xiao Xu is fine now. I have experienced everything that should be experienced, right?"

Hearing Zhai Guoqiang's words, Xu Xin nodded.

really……

It's meaningless.

Of course, it is not ruled out that he is a bitch, and he has not seen more high-end gameplay...

People say that the so-called upper-class people play in circles... However, he has been in Yanjing for more than two years, and no one has shown him the so-called "circle".

It may be that he is of a low class, too poor.

Anyway, looking at it now...Xu Xin feels that his entertainment method is at its peak...

When he thought of going to a bar by himself and drinking from cups that had been stuck on the mouths of countless men and women, he would not want it.

"fine."

At this time, Zhang Yimou finally spoke:

"If you want to be a public figure, you have to be prepared to be criticized by others. It's not that you got your money through some improper transactions or what you did for something... You can't choose whether your family conditions are good or bad. Don't be afraid of the oblique shadow."

"Uh……"

Although he knew this was the case, Xu Xin still said:

"Mainly I'm afraid of affecting other people, such as our team..."

"Your little things can't affect our team. The opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games didn't affect Athens for 8 minutes. Where are you going?"

Zhang Yimou seemed indifferent:
"I mean, you are not the only one who knows that you have money. We know it, the organizing committee knows it, and the big leaders must know it too. The Shenmu project has been approved to start. Where does the money come from, where does it go, and how much does it cost? How much is the budget... These organizing committees know better than you. So, don’t worry, people think you are good, praise you, you should not see it. If you live inside, you will be exhausted, you know?"

"This...then I don't care?"

"Well, don't worry about it. Just get the business done."

"……Row!"

Xu Xin nodded and stood up straight away:

"If you say that, I have a plan in my heart. Then I will leave and go back to Shenmu. At the end of the month at the latest, I will not come after all the installation is completed there. After the inspection and acceptance, I will wait for the team to arrive there ,Fine?"

"Okay, let's go."

"Eh~"

In response, Xu Xin, who let go of his worries, really didn't care.

After saying goodbye to the three of them, I left the Olympic Building and went straight to the airport.

Then I never paid attention to the evaluation on the Internet.

Love how to say how to say it.

……

Facts have proved that the ability of netizens is indeed supernatural.

But what is more capable is some media.

After finding out that "Director Xu Xin" was actually a student of Beijing Film Academy, reporters immediately rushed to the school of Beijing Film Academy that day.

Then, I don't know what happened in the middle.In short, Xu Xin's "detailed information" was picked up in the afternoon.

A student in the Department of Directing, drives a Ferrari to and from school, often skips classes in the first half of the freshman year, and likes to lean on the Ferrari bag at the school gate.He also had an affair with a girl from the acting department and chased her.Later, I don't know why "starting in chaos and ending up abandoning", my reputation is a bit stinky.

In the first half of the freshman semester, the "poor student" in the eyes of everyone in the first half of the freshman semester suddenly submitted an assignment. It was a ten-minute short film called "Not Drunk", which surprised many teachers and was even used as an example. , explained in class.

Then I started to be serious about learning, eager to learn, Tangtang was never late, and everyone in the class was there.

They didn't even drive a Ferrari. Many people thought that Xu Xin's family was bankrupt.

The prodigal son turned back.

As a result, within a few days of turning back, he suddenly and inexplicably skipped classes for a few days in a row, and then... for some reason, he dropped out of school.

And when the school was suspended, the reporter compared the time of the Olympic team and found a perfect fit.

Not only that, in the group photo of the Olympic team at that time, everyone saw Xu Xin grinning at the camera in the corner.

It was also confirmed from the side that he did not lie!
And then……

"Not Drunk" and the Youku account named "Director Xu Xin" were picked up.

At the same time, people also saw a familiar figure.

Yang Mi...

It turns out that she and Xu Xin have cooperated a long time ago?
When the two were still students?
Then, because I couldn't see "The Unspeakable Secret", the 13-minute winter homework "Not Drunk" naturally became the first opportunity for many people to judge Xu Xin.

And after watching it in 13 minutes...

Before the media's evaluation came out, the netizens were arguing.

The noisy thing is actually quite different from the netizens' comments when Xu Xingang posted "Not Drunk" on the Internet.

First of all, everyone sprayed what he directed.

Who can't take pictures of a drunk man walking through four rooms?

Or maybe it really is the rich second generation, and the movies are all shot in nightclubs.

Or maybe I was shooting something, the light was so dark, and the camera was swaying with people, it was really awkward to watch.

And what is this film about?The lips of the donkey don't match the mouth of the horse...

The 13-minute thing, from the story to the plot to the shooting technique, is talking about "Not Drunk".

In fact, now that Xu Xin thinks about it, "Not Drunk" does have a lot of flaws.

Whether it’s camera positions, sub-shots, lighting, etc... After dealing with the lighting engineers of the "Golden Armor" crew and directing "The Unspeakable Secret" with the participation of professional lighting engineers, Xu Xin I understand the gap between a student who has not yet graduated and a mature lighting director.

But in the same vein...

The first film of a freshman, others are shooting in a hurry, and they don’t even know how to split the shots, what kind of shots to use in what occasion... They have already shot a 13-minute film, the main line is clear and organized... …

What's more, it is still a "first work", isn't it too much?

So, those buddies who greeted Xu Xin every day, "Good morning, garbage director" were the first to stand up.

Start to give them an all-round interpretation of the movie in the message.

From the meaning of the four rooms, to the energetic voice of "Tiantongyuan" at the end, to light and shadow techniques, etc., start to leave a message under "Not Drunk".

"Old audience" and "new audience" fought.

Facts have proved that the new viewers really can't beat Xu Xin, who used to face off in person. From short comments to personal attacks, and after discovering that comments can be posted with long comments, all-round artillery attacks, counterattacks, attacks, and counterattacks are always fun. "old audience".

The people and the director can greet each other, isn't it just to pinch you cute newbies?

Then, the first wave of scolding viewers saw that they couldn't spray it from a technical and professional point of view, so they started to spray "privilege".

To sum it up, it is a sentence of "Hey, after all, you are a rich person. The only video on Youku that can post long comments is here. Why, Xu Xin gave you money?" The irony is directly full.

The comment area of ​​"Not Drunk" started to become a mess again.

But to be honest, no matter how fierce the quarrel was, no matter how hard the scolding was, it didn't stop Xu Xin from gaining fans.

Soon, the number of fans on the account of "Director Xu Xin" started to increase from the original several hundred.

Since the disclosure of this account, in less than a day, the number of followers has broken through 70.And the hits of "Not Drunk" increased by [-] on this day.

At the same time, when the number of new users of Youku.com increased that day, and the daily IP data was sent to Gu Yongqiang, Gu Yongqiang immediately made a decision: the micro movie - "Not Drunk", this day, return to the homepage.

Although Youku is now on the right track and its users are growing steadily, it will start another round of financing at the end of this year.

Money is definitely not lacking.

But he couldn't be unreasonable.

Don't forget the well diggers when drinking water.

The harder you scold, the more we support you.

At the same time, the review team worked overtime to silence all those who cursed!
Rather kill by mistake than let him go!

But Xu Xin suddenly received a call from Zhang Yimou.

The phone call didn't last long, two to three minutes.After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin smoked a cigarette and went straight to sleep.

……

When Yang Mi arrived in Cannes, because of the jet lag, she was in a daze.

From Yanjing to Cannes, you need to fly to Paris first, then transfer to Nice, and finally go to Cannes by car.The hard work of the journey and jet lag itself is a very torturous thing, so much so that I originally planned to watch the Cannes closed-screen film "Red Balloon Travel" directed by Hou Xiaoxian, but when I got out of the car, the girl became a little confused .

I really couldn't bear to stay up all night. At around eight o'clock in Cannes, I returned to the hotel room and threw myself on the bed.

As soon as I woke up, it was the early morning of the 11th.

Still woke up by Sun Ting.

However, she ignored Sun Ting, who was arranging her clothes, and turned on the laptop directly.

Before boarding the plane, she paid attention to her boyfriend's situation.

Now want to see how it goes.

She saw that Sun Ting was arranging her clothes there.

After hanging the carefully selected dress skirt brought by her sister on the hanger in the room, after confirming that there was no problem from the inside to the outside, she breathed a sigh of relief.

He started to pick out the clothes for Yang Mi to wear today.

After finishing everything, he said:

"Sister, shall we have breakfast?"

"Um……"

Yang Mi responded, and continued to scroll through the news on the computer.

After roughly scanning around, his brows gradually wrinkled.

For some reason, there are a lot of criticisms on the Internet.

For example this:

"I watched the short film, and to be honest, it was so-so. Although it looked like it was a debut...but it didn't take long. The quality of "The Unspeakable Secret" can be imagined. I really wonder how Cannes made him a finalist. "

She pouted contemptuously.

What kind of wolf with a big tail are you pretending to be?

Are you able to take pictures?

Just know BB.

There are also those who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement:

"Why do you care so much? He has money, and his life is more comfortable than yours whether he makes movies or not. Swear hard, and the more you scold, the more angry you will be."

Bah, why can't you do it, No. 1, right?
What are you pretending to be so lofty?

How your day goes is up to you!
"These media really make people speechless. They have to reveal the eighteenth generation of other people's ancestors, right? Even the love history? How did Yang Mi have an affair with him? In your eyes, as long as you often work together They are boyfriend and girlfriend, right?"

ya, my fan?
Although I have to admit that you are quite blind.

But... well, I give you a thumbs up!
After clicking the "like" function, she continued to look down...

But the more I look at it, the worse I feel.

Most people are critical.

And this kind of criticism is really inexplicable.

After watching "Not Drunk", they all began to sing bad words about "The Unspeakable Secret".

She can still understand the criticism of "Not Drunk". After all, even as herself, after watching "The Unspeakable Secret", she still feels that "Not Drunk" shot by her boyfriend is really immature.

This film has no acting skills, but it actually tells a story.

So she understands and accepts it.Even if this group of people are film practitioners, or whether their first work will be better than "Not the Best", it is still doubtful.

But she can accept being accused of business.

How can an actor not be scolded?
There are a lot of posts on the Internet where "Golden Armor" has been sprayed with meat.

If you really care about these comments, then she should just leave.

What annoys her is this kind of direct personal attack.

You can say it's bad if you haven't seen the movie?Why?Also, what happened to you, the rich second generation?Has it become a representative of ignorance?

Is it just that hating the rich?
It's so annoying, these people...

Thinking of this, she grabbed the phone and called Xu Xin.

The phone was connected quickly, and then there was a ding-ding-dong-dong noise and wind noise:

"Hey, what's the matter? I still have something to do here, tell me."

"Uh... just to ask how you feel."

"Feeling?"

Wearing a hard hat, Xu Xin, who was watching the workers hoisting the screen, was taken aback for a moment, and then realized what his girlfriend was saying.

So directly came the sentence:
"I was quite angry last night, but I'll be fine after a good night's sleep. Just let them go. Before I left yesterday, I went to find Director Zhang. In fact, what Director Zhang said was quite right. When people scolded me, I pretended not to see it." That’s it. Living in other people’s mouths, I’m going to be exhausted... I’m going to work first, and I’m hanging the screen, so let’s not talk for now, you can let Sun Ting take care of you over there, okay?”

"...Okay, then you can be busy, I'll hang up."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin took the walkie-talkie and said quickly:
"Slow down, slow down, be careful!"

Spring is also the windy season in Shenmu. After the wind started to blow today, the crane hoisted the LED box and it seemed wobbly.

And when the goods were dispatched and the workers began to unpack the boxes, he shouted over the walkie-talkie:

"I've cleaned up all the foam! Be careful, you know! Especially where the lines are connected, you can't leave anything flammable!"

He has said this many times.

Everyone has listened to it many times, but he is still not at ease, and is supervising with the most responsible attitude.

More than 4000 screens are connected together, and the power supply pressure of each line is very high, so more attention must be paid to fire prevention.

It's better to watch and watch more now than to cause a fire if something goes wrong.

It's only in the pre-installation stage now, and when the trial stage starts, the fire brigade has already negotiated that two fire trucks and two fire teams will come over to ensure nothing goes wrong.

After watching the workers carefully clean up all the foam and plastic bags, Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he have a chance to remember the phone call from his girlfriend just now.

To be honest, after seeing the smog in the comment area of ​​"Not Drunk" and various news on the Internet last night, and feeling the malice towards him from the media and netizens for the first time, he was really sad.

Because I thought it was all unfounded things, I put it on my head to catch wind and shadows.

Are you not crazy?

Although he also surfs the Internet, he also knows that it doesn't cost much to leave a message, and he can say whatever he wants.

But usually he just watched the fun, but when it was his turn, he realized... At this juncture, saying anything is useless.People don't listen to your explanation at all.You don't need to explain... People won't believe it even if you explain it.

When a very restless mood was brewing, Zhang Yimou suddenly called.

The first sentence is "Have you read the news, it's about you".

After getting Xu Xin's response, the two chatted for a minute or two.

To sum it up is "Through this incident, learn how to be a public figure".

Because this is a process that all public figures have to go through.

You probably have to carry that criticism all the way up to the movie's release.

Learn to be silent.

This is what Director Zhang meant.

Moreover, there was no long speech. After expressing his views, Zhang Yimou asked him:
"Understood?"

After getting a silent "um", the other party hung up the phone.

A total of 3 minutes of talk time.

After the call, Xu Xin sat in his room and thought about it...

It was found that it was really the case.

There are only two roads in front of him.

First, just like the message board of "Not Drunk" back then, if you scold him for trashing the movie, he will scold him back.Then the two sides fight for [-] rounds. Anyway, you say you are right, and I say I am right.If the theory can't beat you, I'll scold you.And if I swear at the street, and you swear at the street, then just swear at it.

Swear more than anyone else, type faster than anyone else, and speak more swear words than anyone else.

But the problem is that this road basically doesn't work.

Although it's not enough to scold, but in the comments of these news, those netizens' comments can't be read and reviewed one by one by themselves, right?

Like it if it's good, but criticize it if it's bad?
This amount of work... Let alone him, even ten of them can't do it.

He understands the principle of destroying bones and destroying bones.

What about the second?

Ignore all the remarks and slap people in the face with facts.

If you say I can't make movies, then come and see if I can do it.

But the problem is that "The Unspeakable Secret" hasn't been released yet, and Cannes doesn't mean that it won the award... Even he himself basically has no hope for Cannes.

In some translated clips that Liu Momo sent back to him, he also agrees with those unified views.

The acting by the actors is poor.

But Jay Chou is his friend, and the script belongs to him, no matter how bad it is, I will use it.

It is also impossible to pass the blame on to others.

So, it might just be an appetizer right now, and when Cannes is over, if there is no award, there might be more malice...

Even if "The Unspeakable Secret" sells well at the box office... the day lily will be cold.

Is it possible that I wait until the real box office hits, and hold up a poster to record a video and reply to others?
That's how worthless I am.

It is not right for a gentleman to take revenge overnight.

and so……

Director Zhang was right.

Learn to be silent.

It's useless for you to say it, but if you say it when you can prove it, you will give yourself a big enough loophole for others to attack...

That's why we have to be silent.

Is that what you mean?

Whether it's bad or good, it's done now, let nature take its course.

Don't care about other people's eyes, learn to be silent, learn to ignore, don't live in the mouth of others...

After comprehending Director Zhang's wisdom again, Xu Xin suddenly felt that he understood something.

In terms of Internet buzzwords, this incident... is not what it is called:

"Go your own way and let others say go."

Isn't that what it is?

Living in gossip, the world is full of malice.

Besieged by enemies, besieged on all sides.

That being the case...

Is it over if you ignore it?
Why make yourself uncomfortable?Is it because I don't have enough money, or because my girlfriend is not pretty, or because I don't have enough time to embarrass myself?
And as a director, isn't the most powerful counterattack through the works?
Beat this group of people softly, subdue them, and call them daddy on their knees.

From an enemy, to a neutral, and finally to your own...

How do you say that word?

Mouth... Mouth... Mouth something upright... That something... Tsundere or something.

He didn't know where he came up with such inexplicable vocabulary and words, but the truth was already on the surface.

If so, then why think so much.

Others have trouble with me.

Is it okay for me to reconcile with myself?

To sleep, what to do.

I have to work tomorrow.

So, after only one cigarette, Xu Xin felt relieved.

Woke up the next day, worked as usual, and stared at the construction site as usual.

He didn't even care about the fact that Cannes was still a day away.

But in the early morning of the next day, after seeing a message from Jay Chou, "Do you want to talk to me, as a teacher, I can impart experience to you", and politely replied:
"Fuck off~"

Got a "you're rude" joke.

GAY in GAY gas.

But it made Xu Xin feel better.

On the road of rivers and lakes, there are good teachers, beneficial friends, and the company of the alluring beauty, a stunning confidant, and the world of mortals.

With the sword to the end of the world, why care about other things?
Right.

So, on May 5th, Xu Xin was still busy with work.

then……

The 12th is coming.

2007年5月12号燕京时间夜晚11点40，同时也是法国时间5点40。

Xu Xin received a message from Yang Mi:

"We're ready to walk the red carpet."

"Well, come on."

The No.60 Cannes Film Festival Awards Ceremony is about to begin.

　Brothers... Ask for a monthly pass!There is hope for the top ten this month, I want to fight for it!Ask for a monthly ticket!
