I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 401 399. Splashing ink
"Director Xu, I just took that film away? Do you have anything else to say?"

"No, let's make a rough cut first. I'll watch after the rough cut."

"it is good."

"Director Lu has worked hard... Everyone has worked hard too. I look forward to our next cooperation. Goodbye everyone."

"Director Xu has worked hard."

"Thank you Director Xu..."

If you are full of wine and food, don't pass the greetings at the door.

For Xu Xin, this short few days of contact was not enough for him to have any particularly deep feelings for everyone.

Even to say something heartless, he didn't remember at least half of the names of the crew.

And this time the team is actually not particularly top-notch.

Even if he wanted to support him, he really couldn't pull out a general from among the short ones.

Saying goodbye to each other and getting into the car, he waved his hand and closed the door.

But as soon as the door was closed, Zhang Jiao was heard saying:

"Brother Xu, there are paparazzi."

"……what?"

Xu Xin was taken aback.

Then, as if it wasn’t enough, I increased the volume again:
"what?????"

Paparazzi?

He and the word... really unfamiliar.

Or strange is not an exaggeration.

In normal life, when the couple go shopping or eating, they basically don't shy away from others.

Take pictures if you want, as long as you don't overdo it and be polite, whether you are a fan or a passer-by, taking a photo is nothing at all.

As for filming and filming...he made two films.

He was a passerby in the first "Secret", and the second film was directly produced in the studio of Xiying Studio.

Paparazzi is even more insulated.

Or to put it more exaggeratedly...

What's wrong with paparazzi?Aren't they all filming Yang Mi?

This...to take a picture of yourself today?
He blinked, stretched his head and looked around:
"Where? Where?"

"That does not."

Zhang Jiao pointed to the direction about seven or eight parking spaces from the hotel entrance.

"Just squatting next to the parking space..."

"Well……"

Xu Xin really looked for it for a long time before he saw a figure... who seemed to be squatting behind a black Honda.

A subconscious word came out:
"What can you shoot without the flash?"

"..."

Now it was Zhang Jiao's turn to be speechless.

"If you really turn on the flash, you can still learn from Gu Changwei?"

"Haha, hook up with him?"

Xu Xin was happy and waved his hand:
"Drive, drive slowly, get to him in a while, and throw two packs of cigarettes down."

"it is good."

Zhang Jiao nodded, and took out half a Zhonghua from the Volvo's central control storage box, opened two boxes, held it with one hand, and drove the car to the Honda's little by little, and dropped the window.

He threw out two packs of cigarettes.

The paparazzi was also taken aback for a moment, but now that the windows were down, he desperately took pictures of the inside of the car.

The flash crackled.

Xu Xin didn't mind either.

As for Zhang Jiao, she threw down the cigarette, accelerated while raising the window, and left directly.

After waiting for Volvo to walk away, the buddy looked down at the things that were thrown out.

Two boxes of soft Chinese.

"Tsk... quite particular."

He muttered in surprise.

He picked up the cigarette, wiped some snow water on his pants, put it in his pocket and began to check the photos he just took.

At first, it was unclear who the woman who came to pick up Xu Xin was.

I thought I had dug up some news.

But after this shot was clear, I couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Isn't this Yang Mi's pretty assistant?
This photo is worthless.

But... two boxes of Zhonghua are still one hundred and fifty.

Also worth it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help shaking his head:

"I knew I was filming Liu Yifei a long time ago."

……

All the way without talking, when he returned home, he rarely saw his father-in-law sitting on the sofa, with a small stool in front of him, on which he poured himself a stack of peanuts and a plate of Mushu eggs.

Seeing his son-in-law come back, he even invited him with a red face.

Xu Xin only found out when he asked what was going on... The father-in-law won 300 yuan in a lottery ticket today.

Money doesn't matter.

The point is to take advantage of the good fortune to get yourself a drink.

Anyway, he didn't drink much at the restaurant, so he simply brought a cup to accompany him.

While pouring wine, he talked about what happened just now...

"What? Did a paparazzi shoot you?"

On the contrary, Yang Mi was a little surprised:

"My husband finally made it through and became famous!!!"

"That said..."

Xu Xin rolled his eyes, picked up a peanut and muttered:

"But I was quite surprised... When Jiaojiao threw the cigarette, he just slapped us both..."

"No problem."

Yang Mi shrugged:

"Who doesn't know that Jiaojiao is my assistant? I can't find any gossip."

As she spoke, she suddenly became speechless again:
"There are indeed more and more paparazzi now. And the secret camera technology is getting more and more advanced...Anyway, don't mess with me, mess with me, I'll find Brother Yong!"

"Cough cough cough cough... what?"

Hearing the word "Brother Yong", Xu Xin coughed violently.

He stared at his wife with wide eyes:

"Brother Yong you are talking about...Which Brother Yong is it?"

"It's your cousin."

"..."

Xu Xin's face suddenly began to twitch.

"The old man even told you about this person?...What is he going to do?"

"...Who?"

Seeing his son-in-law's reaction, Yang Dalin was rather curious.

"Uh……"

Considering the nature of the old father-in-law's work, he simply said to Yang Mi:
"Those who made a fool of themselves opened a debt collection company in Yanjing."

"..."

Yang Dalin frowned instantly.

He has been a policeman all his life, and he has seen countless times, and he has never had a good impression of this kind of person.

But Xu Xin didn't let him misunderstand too deeply, and explained:

"His way of life is a little different from others. He is... how to put it, he belonged to the kind of person who used his brains a lot in our side back then. Threatening, I have a few AIDS patients under my hands, and I bring the case with me. When I find the debt collector, I will stand in front of him, and I will give you the case, so that you can see that he has AIDS, and then he starts coughing again Spitting again... Who do you think is not afraid?"

"..."

The corner of Yang Dalin's mouth twitched...

After turning his head and glaring at the girl viciously, he said to Xu Xin:
"Is he your cousin?"

"The kind that is so far away. Anyway, I always keep it at a respectful distance..."

After receiving Xu Xin's explanation, Yang Dalin didn't even think about it, so he said to his daughter:

"Stay away from this kind of person, you know!"

"I know~ hee hee, I was joking too."

Obviously, Yang Mi is not someone who doesn't know the severity.

And Xu Xin said conservatively.

This brother Yong's family belongs to Shenmu County, which is also a small village with poor mountains and bad waters.

There are no resources under the ground.

The bottom of the poor will fall.

Only when the family was poor did they come out to make a living.

When he came out, he was ruthless and stood on his heels.Now going in and out is also the beginning of Rolls-Royce, with countless younger brothers behind him.

The family history...it can't be called black, but it's gray enough to infiltrate people.

The most important thing is to only recognize money and nothing.

In terms of people who really convinced him, the old man could be regarded as one of the few people who would listen with the attitude of a junior whenever he spoke, whether it was persuasion or reprimand.

There is no way, if it weren't for the old man, he might not have ended well.

It belongs to the grace of saving lives.

Shenmu County is too small, those who can get mixed up, those who can't get out... Many people and things have already formed a densely packed group of different colors.

No matter how far apart they are, they are inseparable.

This is also the basic reason why after confirming that the family's property is Sanshuiguan and he just takes the money, the old man will separate some relationships or contacts with him so clearly.

For some things, the best way is to stay with the previous generation.

Xu Xin didn't care about anything.

Knowing too much is not good.

From this point of view, his second child... really belonged to growing up in a honey pot.

Can't go wrong at all.

……

A few hundred yuan of lottery money was exchanged for a bottle of Moutai that my father and I drank thoroughly.

With the help of Jiu Jin, maybe he has seen as many mountains as the old man in his life, but he has gained a solid experience in dealing with things in a place where the three religions are mixed, and Yang Dalin began to talk about it to his son-in-law and daughter.

If we talk about Xu Daqiang's thing, it is the counterattack peak that starts from the bottom and climbs all the way up.

So what the old father-in-law, the glorious people's policeman, said, is something that many people may have heard in their lifetime, but they can't imagine that they can have both sides.

So many cases, so many human natures, and so many inconsistencies in the world...

It's all in the midst of this half a catty of wine.

What's more, he is a policeman born and raised in this piece of Forty-Nine City.

From the beginning of working to the retirement these years, the same case after another, no matter whether they were handled by themselves or heard from colleagues, Xu Xin performed a completely different life here.

Not spectacular.

But the more you taste, the more you can taste the cruel side of human nature.

He really likes to hear the old man talk about those cases, farces, and different deeds that happened to different people in the scenes of disputes.

If you can, listen to it more, maybe you can make a TV series or movie in the future, and I think it should be very brilliant.

Just thinking about it...

I think it might be a little too big.

I'm afraid it won't pass the trial.

It can only be said that this is a wonderful alternative life.

The kind that sees the truth from the ordinary.

In the end, the "drinking game" that was born because of 300 yuan ended with the drunken Yang Dalin saying "the green hills are still there, and the sunset is red a few times".

Xu Xin felt a lot of emotion when he heard it.

Looking at the bright red face of the old man, I don't know how many unsaid or forgotten things in this sentence are like the rolling water of the Yangtze River, which is paid into the jokes.

Finally, it was time for bed.

Yang Mi watched her husband pick up the "Sunspot" again, thought for a while, and asked:

"Feeling?"

"Ah."

Xu Xin nodded:
"I just thought this story was pretty good before, but after listening to what my dad said, I felt a little more emotional... I plan to start adapting it."

"...Can't you take pictures next year?"

"There's no rush. Polish up a good script first... The level of content in this story should be richer."

"...You want to come in person?"

"Ah."

Xu Xin nodded, touched the book cover and said:

"I don't feel at ease handing over the outline of the main line to others. First come up with the idea, and then let others polish it a little bit. I'm going to bed~"

"Hmm~"

Yang Mi nodded.

……

The end of the filming of "Deal" means that Xu Xin's work this year can almost come to an end.

The rest is Zhang Mo's scene selection and some persuasive designs.

Fortunately, the design is only the first draft, as long as the appropriate style or scenery is selected.Needless to say, it has to be seen on the actors.

No one forced him to choose an actor quickly...

So, taking advantage of these few days of free time, he repeatedly took the auditions of Liu Yifei and Jing Tian to make a choice there.

And choosing and choosing... In the end, he still followed the guidance in his heart and made a complete decision on the candidate.

With this result, I wanted to find the old man.

It was only after I called that I found out... the old man is in Wuxi.

And after hearing that he had chosen the candidate for "The Hawthorn Tree", the old man rarely said anything.

He just said in a...let's say depressed tone:

"Okay, you've made your decision."

Hearing this tone, Xu Xin knew something was wrong.

However, he didn't talk much, but after hanging up the phone, he called Zhang Mo.

As a daughter, she obviously knew more news.

According to her:

"My dad went back to Wuxi directly the next day after reading the letter from Takakura Ken. When he got home, he stayed with the children and wrote a reply to Takakura Ken in the study. But the letter was not sent out, and it was all waste paper. Aunt Ting can't read Japanese, but my dad is really not in a good mood recently."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin didn't continue to comfort the old man.

Old men are not so fragile.

And his bad mood...in fact, it was more of a sense of powerlessness.

This feeling of powerlessness is not about a director, but something that ordinary people face.

In these things, the director's level, ability, ideas and the like don't work.Because it is the most real joy, anger, sorrow and joy, love and hate parting and choice.

On one side is Zhang Weiping, who was as close as a brother after they met.

On one side is Zhao Benshan, who has become a confidant.

The next one is Takakura Ken, who has turned from idol pursuit to soul confidant...

And, at the end of the day, it is a close lover who has given silently by the pillow for more than ten years without asking for anything in return.

"Zhang Yimou", an ordinary person, is currently in a predicament, which cannot be solved by whether the next movie can be successfully turned around, or whether the child's household registration can be quietly handled.

This matter is much more complicated.

It is also much more difficult for external forces to intervene.

At least Xu Xin couldn't find any point of intervention here, except that he was helping the old man to take care of the children's schooling.

old man he...

Don't want to hurt anyone.

This is also his biggest weakness.

Even some "ridiculous" weaknesses.

The all-powerful international director, after a small setback in the artistic path, it was like a fuse that pulled him off the altar... It wasn't a movie, but what happened to these ordinary people. things.

Xu Xin didn't know what to say.

I can only wait for the old man to have an idea before thinking about how to deal with it.

After all, he is not an old man and cannot make any decisions for him.

And time passed day by day in this seemingly peaceful winter day.

It's almost the end of the year, and everything is calm.

As Christmas approaches, the "foreign" flavor on the street suddenly becomes stronger.

Summit Night is on December 12th.

These days, the students and several instructors of "The Voice" are in full swing in the programming of the program.

And the time came to December 12, the day before Christmas Eve.

For Xu Xin's family, this was the most ordinary day.

But for the paparazzi of Yanjing, it was neither a big nor a small day.

Countless paparazzi gathered at the entrance of the famous Park Hyatt Hotel in Yanjing since the afternoon, squatting and guarding with long guns and short cannons.

According to reliable sources, tonight, the 45-year-old goddess Zhang Manyu will hold an engagement banquet here with her French boyfriend who is 7 years younger than herself.

Both parents will be there.

Although no friends were invited, and speaking of the scale, it was just a family banquet of five or six people.

But for this peaceful December, it is already a rare entertainment news.

Naturally, the paparazzi would not let go of the news of the high price, and squatted aside one after another, intending to take pictures of Zhang Manyu, who hadn't appeared in the public eye for a long time, and her little boyfriend.

Night falls, little by little.

And little by little with the passage of time.

The reporters who have little ability can only shiver in the car outside the hotel.

The capable ones have already arrived in the hotel lobby, waiting patiently.

And Zhang Manyu seems to have eaten this meal for a long time.

It looks like it's already 11 o'clock, why don't you come down?

Just when the paparazzi were wondering, suddenly, outside the door of the hotel, a Q7 stopped at the door.

A few men in camouflage uniforms, black hats, and sunglasses at night entered the hotel aggressively.

When you come in, find the reporter first.

When they saw a group of reporters with long guns and short guns, several people looked at each other, and one of them suddenly shouted:
"Which floor does Zhang Ziyi live on?"

His loud voice caught everyone's attention at once.

It is naturally impossible for the people of the Park Hyatt Hotel to answer this kind of customer privacy questions.

But he was also a little confused by the scene.

These people... what way?
Then, the person wearing sunglasses did not wait for others to answer, but after seeing the reporter had raised the camera, he took the lead in shouting:
"Zhang Ziyi!!"

The few people behind him immediately shouted as if they had discussed it:

"Big idiot!"

"Cheat money!"

"Seduce someone's husband!"

"Hold**!"

Obscenities resounded throughout the hotel lobby.

Then, a few people turned around and left...

A group of people were left behind...including the dazed people who were still looking at each other after filming this scene.

Varied……

what?
All this happened so fast, it took only a minute in total.

From looking for someone, to cursing, to leaving.

The few people who covered themselves tightly were quite "professional".

After the people left, those reporters who reacted quickly and raised their cameras showed excitement on their faces.

This……

this news...

It seems to be bigger than taking Zhang Manyu's engagement!

But it's not over yet.

The place where this incident happened was inside the hotel lobby, and the reporters outside did not know about it yet.

The people inside wouldn't say it either, after all, when this kind of news comes out, whoever can sell it first will get the most money.

If outsiders can't get in, who cares about their lives?

So, all of a sudden, after a few people left, in the waiting area of ​​the Park Hyatt Hotel, the sound of the phone didn't stop.

But it didn't last long.

About ten minutes passed.

While the people inside were still calling to sell photos for money, explaining what happened to them... Some reporters squatting outside suddenly discovered...the Q7 had gone and returned.

But this time, two people came down with kegs in their hands.

According to the entrance of the Park Hyatt Hotel, the huge photo on the front of the Platinum Store that Zhang Ziyi endorsed was splashed hard...

"Whoa!"

"!!!"

"My grass!"

"??????"

In the bewilderment of a group of reporters, two buckets of ink were spilled on a large poster of a smiling international superstar.

Being illuminated by the light of the light box...

dark red...

like blood.

　When other people cough, they feel that their lungs are about to be coughed out.

I am different.

I really feel like my large intestine is going to come out of my mouth...

Less than [-] words, I wrote it for a whole day...

My brain is about to explode.
