I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 643 641. A Good Movie
Yanjing people are no strangers to Yang Mi bringing her husband to eat noodles with fried sauce.

After all, Brick Factory's fried noodles are quite famous.A lot of celebrities came here especially for the name, and they added an authentic Yanjing child who came here to eat noodles with fried sauce, not only down to earth, but also to show that this girl has good taste.

but……

Good guy.

Xu Xin can really eat garlic.

Even if Laba garlic doesn't have the taste of raw garlic, it can't stand a bite, right?

Besides... It's fine for the male compatriots to eat a big bowl, but Yang Mi, a lesbian holding a big bowl, is it too much to refill two servings of noodles?
This bowl of ordinary gay men is enough to eat, what is the number of three bowls for this girl?
So, to the surprise of the diners around, two clean noodle bowls were left on the table where the couple ate.

The free Laba Garlic on the table is half a bottle away...

When it was time to eat, there was already a long queue at the door.

After the couple got up, Yang Mi nodded to the few old men who were eating slowly beside her very familiarly:
"You are eating."

"Okay, okay."

Then, under the watchful eyes of many diners, I heard Xu Xin say:

"No, this Laba garlic is not strong enough when raw garlic is not strong enough. Next time you can eat it when you don't want to watch a movie, you will have two heads of garlic..."

Gee.

have to admit.

These two can eat.

……

All the way out of the brick factory alley, back to her car, Yang Mi asked:

"Where are we going to see?"

"Hengdian."

"Wangfujing?"

"Well, then go to the mall to buy a massage chair for our dad. I smelled plaster on him again last night."

"Row."

As soon as they said they would leave, the two of them drove all the way and arrived at Wangfujing just before 1:[-] pm.

Putting on a hat and a mask, the two of them headed straight to Hengdian Film and Television City, but what they didn't expect was...it was noon, and it was noon on a weekday, and the film and television city was full.

Xu Xin was taken aback.

"This...why are there so many people?"

Yang Mixin said that this is not nonsense.

If there were not many people, wouldn't the movie lose its box office?
Xu Xin thought for a while and asked:

"Then what do you do now?"

"Go and buy tickets."

"...Want to watch it here?"

"Look, and I also want to observe and observe, to see whether more people watch "If You Are the One" or more of us."

"……Fine."

Xu Xin nodded.

"Remember buying me a Haagen-Dazs."

"Ah."

He responded and went to line up.

Today's movie theater ticket prices are no longer the same as those in the 40s and 45s.

This time, the ticket price for "The Hawthorn Tree" is 60.

Because there is no 3D version.

The fare of the 3D version is generally around 80 to 85.

But...it's a bit too nonsense for a literary film to be shot in 3D.

Xu Xin lined up at the ticket office, looking up at the show.

When it comes to the number of films scheduled, "The Hawthorn Tree" and "If You Are the One 2" are neck and neck.

This one doesn't even work with West Film Studios much.

Whether it is the reputation of the director, or the quality and lineup of the film, both parties are enough to dominate before and after Christmas.

But... the weird thing this time is that although the two movies have roughly the same number of film schedules, the entire theater's film schedule... At least in Hengdian, it is three-thirds of the world.

He watched the sessions on the electronic screen, an average of 20 minutes per session, the entire Hengdian World Studios was a tie for "If You Are the One 2", "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" and "Let the Bullets Fly".

Obviously, compared to "The Orphan of Zhao", which has fallen out of the top ranks, "Let the Bullets Fly" has a lot of stamina.

This also made him more curious.

Looking at the trailer, this film seems to be about the scenes of the Republic of China.

What kind of magic power is there, worthy of such pursuit by movie fans?

No, you must see it.

Soon, the team arrived at him.

Wearing a mask, he said directly:

"Two "If You Are the One 2", what time is the most recent one?"

"4 o'clock in the afternoon, is this time okay?"

Hearing what the conductor said, Xu Xin was taken aback:
"Isn't there any earlier?"

"No more. They're all full."

"Uh... what about "The Hawthorn Tree"?"

"Love in the Hawthorn Tree, 4:[-] p.m.."

"……"Let the bullets fly"?"

""Let the Bullets Fly" still has a few seats at 2:[-]."

"That's it. Two tickets, a big bucket of popcorn... Forget it, don't want the popcorn, just take two tickets first."

"A total of 120 yuan, do you have a membership card?"

"No……"

He handed over the cash.

Soon, after getting the two tickets, he faced the young woman who was trying to reduce his sense of existence in the corner:
""If You Are the One" is available at 4 o'clock, "The Hawthorn" is available at 4:2, and I bought "Let the Bullets Fly" at [-]:[-]."

"Wait so long?"

Yang Mi glanced at the Rolex on her wrist speechlessly.

I don't know who she learned from... I especially like the Rolex brand.

After glancing at the time, she turned her head to look at the trailer of "If You Are the One" on the screen in the hall, and subconsciously complained:
"I'm afraid he is the only actor in the whole country who can cause such a stir?"

"...?"

Xu Xin also subconsciously turned her head.

The heart said who was she talking about?
Then he saw Ge You's face.

then……

He nodded.

No.

Of the four heavyweight movies in December, I acted in three of them.

This ability... can be regarded as no one else.

……

There was still some free time before 02:30, and the two of them held hands and started shopping in the mall.

The main business is to buy massage chairs, but you can't just look at these things, you have to feel them.

It just so happened that Xu Sanjin, who was sore all over, took advantage of it. When he saw a massage chair seller, he went up to him.

And when he opened his mouth, he was full of local tyrants:

"Which is the most expensive massage chair in your home?"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes when she heard a word.

Should I say it or not, the common problem of this man's shopping is really exactly the same.

If you have money, it’s best to go directly to it, and if you don’t have money, you don’t want to watch it.

Never consume things beyond your ability.

Tsk tsk, man is really a simple animal.

Finally, after choosing and choosing, I chose a massage chair with more than 2 yuan, filled out the form and swiped the card, and just waited for the delivery.

It was almost time, and the two walked back arm in arm again.

The waiting hall of the movie theater was still full, and he knew that his wife couldn’t stop babbling while watching a movie. He held a large bucket of popcorn in his left hand, two glasses of Coke on his finger, and two Haagen-Dazs in his right hand.

Yang Mi dare not eat now, for fear of being recognized after taking off the mask.

Even looking at the ice cream and swallowing, I have to hold back.

But you have to know... She just stuffed three bowls of fried noodles...

Finally, at 2:[-], "Let the Bullets Fly" began to line up for admission.

The couple was caught in the crowd, just queuing up to check the ticket for a while, the young woman was like a hamster, holding a few popcorns, pulling the mask from the chin, and the two cheeks stuffed into the mouth were puffed up.

She was so proud of the buttery taste of popcorn.

Check the ticket, enter the venue, and sit in the corner.

With her husband blocking the people next to her, she can finally eat and drink happily.

And at this moment, both of them heard a voice from behind:
"You say you...it's really annoying. I asked you to buy the ticket and you didn't buy it, but now it's good...I don't have any interest in this movie. I want to watch "If You Are the One"!"

It was a girl's voice.

"What's so good about "If You Are the One"? After watching this, let's go to dinner, and then come back and watch "Love in the Hawthorn Tree", wouldn't it be good?"

Another girl's voice.

"I don't like Liu Yifei!"

"Then you don't like Xu Xin?"

"I like it... 17, this is it."

Yang Mi quickly turned her head to take a look, put on the mask temporarily, and quickly said to Xu Xin:

"Hey, beauty."

Xu Xin quickly turned his head.

Turned too fast, didn't see clearly.

Then he turned his head away again.

Now I can see clearly.

Then honestly hand in the homework to the daughter-in-law and summarize:

"Not bad, but not as good-looking as you."

"hey-hey."

Yang Mi smiled sweetly, and then heard the two girls continue to say:

"I used to have feelings for Xu Xinchao. But I don't know why, when I look at him now, I think of Yang Mi's face, and then I feel more and more greasy about him."

This is what the other girl said.

And her words successfully made Yang Mi and Xu Xin's faces stiff.

Yang Mi didn't show off her power.

After all, she might show her power one second, and the police station the next.

And as a public figure, she naturally has the consciousness of being judged by others.

What she and Xu Xin really cared about was the girl's last sentence.

Oil...greasy?
Xu Xin looked down at the popcorn in his arms...

Subconsciously touched his stomach.

Although he doesn't exercise now...but his weight has been controlled well.

and……

I'm only 24.

Miss.

I'm... greasy?
He couldn't help turning his head to look at his wife.

Yang Mi stared at him with wide eyes.

Look around...

He took the initiative to lean into his ear:

"It's okay, I'm happy to eat five flowers and three layers."

Xu Xin's mentality collapsed instantly.

Then he couldn't listen to what the two sisters were discussing.

He took the initiative to block the conversation between the two of them by relying on the sound in his ear while biting the popcorn.

Soon, the screen lights up and the movie is about to start.

The BGM of "Farewell" rang in my ears...

Then, with the shaking of the camera, the back of a person's head lay on the railway...

……

4:38pm.

Accompanied by the phrase "Magic City is Pudong", and Joe Hisaishi's classic BGM that would almost be passed down to three generations by Jiang Wen sounded again, and the screen of the movie went black.

The lights are on.

There was no applause or exclamation.

After watching a 2-hour movie, some viewers always seem to like to take the lead and walk out of the theater first.

There are also some people who, taking it easy, tidy up, check, and repeatedly confirm that they haven’t left anything behind, and then follow the crowd out of the cinema.

As for Xu Xin, he didn't move.

Don't rush away.

As for Yang Mi, she picked up the drink cup on her armrest and drank the last sip of the tasteless "Coke Water".

The two of them are in the corner, and the passage out of the theater is just under their feet, so there is no need to give up space to anyone.

Seeing that her husband was not in a hurry to leave, she sat on the chair, rubbed her eyes, and put on the mask again.

asked:

"how do you feel?"

"..."

Xu Xin was speechless.

After about two or three seconds, he said:
"This movie... has a lot of information. It's full of metaphors... I... don't understand it."

Yang Mi is not someone who has no ability to appreciate art.

Hearing what her husband said, she obviously agreed.

However, her interpretation is from the perspective of an actor.

"Its style is too strong. My feeling is... Jiang Wen's movie wants to express, that is to stand up and make money..."

What she was talking about was not the movie itself, but the attitude of the actors when they saw the director.

Or the audience's attitude towards this movie and Jiang Wen.

Standing, not stooping, no matter whether you are engaged in literature, art or business, you will never compromise.

Just to stand and make money.

And this feeling, she is not surprised.

Although it's a bit boastful, but... at least, starting from her husband, all the people in Xiying Studio she came into contact with had this taste.

His body is hard.

It's a tough nut to crack.

Of course, not without compromise...

But those who compromise, at present, cannot enter the core circle of the factory.

It's a culture that works from top to bottom.

It's true that Jiang Wen is from the Beijing circle, but the Xiying people's genes are still there in his bones.

It's good that she didn't deliberately pursue the interpretation of this movie.

For her, she just followed the camera and followed Zhang Mazi through a two-hour "absurd" life.

As for what a certain picture or a certain line in the movie is a metaphor for...

Too lazy to ponder.

too tired.

But look at my husband's virtue...

she will understand...

"Want to brush again?"

"……let's talk tomorrow."

Xu Xin smiled, and continued:

"This is an excellent film worth watching over and over again. Strongly personal, but in line with the director's own previous works... It is complicated, but very interesting. It has a reference value for me. Great! … Or it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a treasure.”

He rarely gave a very high evaluation.

But let him evaluate what is good, he can't answer now.

At this moment, he felt that he was... a person guarding outside a treasure house.

Knowing that there are treasures in the treasure house, but because it was too dark, I couldn't see what was inside.

This feeling of excitement and curiosity tickled him all over.

"I asked Brother Qi to ask Jiang Wen for a disk. This movie is more suitable for me to savor slowly at home alone. Tsk, it's comfortable."

While speaking, he quickly sent a message to Qi Lei.

Qi Lei also responded quickly:

"no problem."

There is no enmity with Jiang Wen and everyone, and it is a close relationship, so even if the circle is different, the personal relationship is still there.

After getting a reply, the two of them headed out to catch the end of the audience.

Yang Mi asked at this time:

"Why are we going?"

"are you hungry?"

"Not hungry... Let me call home first and ask the child, if there is nothing wrong, are we watching a game?"

""You Are the One"?"

"Ah."

"Okay, I'll buy tickets...but if it's late..."

"It's okay, you can ask first, if not, let's go to Wanda."

"Alright..."

Xu Xin turned around and started queuing again.

And this time I was quite lucky, the 6 o'clock show was already full, but suddenly two people had their tickets refunded.

Xu Xin quickly filled the vacancy.

After getting the ticket, he became addicted to cigarettes, so the two of them came out of the mall and found a seat on the bench at the entrance of Wangfujing.

It was 5 o'clock, and it was already getting dark.

Xu Xin took off his mask, lit a cigarette, and smoked with his eyes squinted.

In a few seconds, a large handful of smoke drifted overhead.

Yang Mi shrank her neck and sat beside him, watching the people coming and going in the square in front of the shopping mall and the traffic on the road, she suddenly laughed out loud.

"hey-hey……"

"What are you laughing at?"

"It reminds us of the past. Just... when we just finished filming "Not Drunk", we were queuing up to listen to cross talk at Dashilar... It's been three or four years in a blink of an eye."

"No..."

Xu Xin was also a little emotional, but right now he was still thinking about the fragments of "Let the Bullets Fly" that he vaguely remembered.

For example, the cool line of "let the bullets fly for a while"...

really interesting.

So I didn't answer much.

Yang Mi didn't care, she put her hand into her husband's pocket again out of feeling, and put her head on his shoulder:
"Brother, it's good to have you~"

"……Um."

Xu Xin's response was slightly perfunctory.

Yang Mi rolled her eyes:
"Are you thinking about Let the Bullets Fly?"

"……How do you know it?"

"Nonsense, I'll know what shit you're shitting if you poke your ass."

"..."

Xu Xin said that you bitch are really vulgar.

"But I see that you don't seem to care about the box office of "The Hawthorn Tree" at all?"

"It's as if you cared."

"... That's right, the personnel are exhausted, and the rest are left to fate...Huh?"

Suddenly, Yang Mi seemed to see something, and said:
"Someone took pictures of us."

"?"

Xu Xin was taken aback.

Thinking that this ignorant person can also recognize himself?

I turned my head and looked... Sure enough, there were two or three people standing on the side of the road, as if they were loading a car, and there were two boxes containing photographic equipment at their feet.And one of them is pointing the camera at this side.

"Paparazzi?"

Xu Xin was puzzled.

But Yang Mi drew a "V" gesture towards the camera with her generous strokes leaning on her husband's shoulder.

Then said:

"It's not like...the Sony box under your feet is a camera?"

"...Why do you have to add one?"

"what?"

After Yang Mi was stunned, she realized what her husband was talking about.

So she rolled her eyes:
"Bah, vulgar."

Xu Xin smiled, but the two or three buddies saw that the two of them didn't refuse, and they didn't know what they were talking about, so they took the initiative to come here.

"...He is here, do you want to refuse?"

"Look at the situation. If it's a regular TV station, maybe there will be more opportunities to be exposed. You will act with winks in a while."

After Yang Mi finished speaking, she moved her head away from his shoulder.

The two just watched one of them walk over.

The person took a rough look at first, and seemed a little uncertain, so he asked tentatively:

"Excuse me... are they Director Xu Xin and Teacher Yang Mi?"

Xu Xin put the cigarette butt under his feet and extinguished it, then threw it into the trash can beside him, and then replied:
"Yes, hello. You are..."

The buddy immediately showed surprise in his eyes:

"Hello, Director Xu! I'm an interview reporter for Yanjing TV's "Tiantian Film and Television Circle". My name is Zhou Min... Sorry to disturb you two, we were originally here to film "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" and "If You Are the One 2" in theaters Given the current box office sales... I never expected to meet the two of you here!"

"..."Tiantian Film and Television Circle"?"

Yang Mi was taken aback:
"The one on Yanjing No. [-]?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you two, if you don't mind, can we ask a few questions?"

Hearing Zhou Min's words, Yang Mi thought for a while and said:
"Show me your press card first."

"Hey, good!"

Without further ado, the other party took out his work permit from his pocket.

After taking a look, Yang Mi said to Zhou Min:

"Then... don't come here with much fanfare, just take a casual photo, okay? We just want to watch a movie."

"Good good!"

Obviously, Zhou Min was very excited to be able to directly "catch up" Xu Xin and Yang Mi, and quickly waved to the two companions.

One of the two buddies ran over with a camera from the box, and the other with a SLR.

After Zhou Min received the microphone with the Yanjing TV logo on it from his companion, he was about to interview, and Xu Xin asked:

"Do you need us to stand up?"

"No need, no need, just like this... The two of you look... very loving and harmonious."

Just now, he saw a picture of one person smoking and one person leaning on his shoulder from his companion's camera, Zhou Min said from the bottom of his heart.

The reason why the two were recognized was because Xu Xin took off his mask while smoking.

Soon, the microphone was connected to the camera.

Due to hasty preparations, Zhou Min obviously had to improvise.

So he asked the first question:

"You two came here to watch a movie?"

"Correct."

Xu Xin nodded.

"Did Director Xu come to watch "If You Are the One" as he said before?"

"Yes."

Still openly admitted, and then Xu Xin added:
"But I didn't buy a ticket. The two of us will watch "Let the Bullets Fly" first this afternoon."

"So... how does it feel?"

"great."

He gave his own evaluation with little hesitation:

"At least in my opinion, this movie is very good. I can't wait to see it several times. This is a movie worth watching again and again."

Yang Mi was a little speechless.

I said in my heart that your old man is really telling the truth one after another.

After Zhou Min heard this, he thought about it and asked again:

"Then who do you think will win the box office on the first day of "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" and "If You Are the One 2"?"

"...Tsk."

Yang Mi knew that the interview was coming to an end.

My husband is in a good mood, so I accepted your interview.

But his desire to share at the moment decides that what he wants to share is "Let the Bullets Fly", but you don't care...

That's too much to say.

Sure enough, Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile:
"There is no winner or loser. What we have to do is to use a responsible attitude to bring better film works to the audience... Well, my answer is over. Do you have anything to ask her?"

He has no intention of continuing the interview.

But Yang Mi picked up the topic with ease.

And after answering a few questions with a slightly perfunctory attitude, he took the initiative to pull Xu Xin to stand up:

"Okay, it's time for us to go back. Thank you for the interview, goodbye."

Although Zhou Min regretted it, it was already a pleasant surprise.

So when the two wanted to leave, he didn't stop them.

Wave goodbye.

Finally, the reporter next to him raised his camera again, and after recording the backs of the two leaving hand in hand, he said with some emotion:

"These two people look so affectionate. The photos I took are as good as the posing pictures. I can't believe this is the state of the two of them getting along in private."

Hearing this, Zhou Min smiled:

"Wake up, brother, that's Yang Mi. If she were your wife, you'd have to hold her hand every day."

"...It seems to be such a truth, hahaha~"

The three of them, who got a surprise, thanked the couple and left with a smile.
