I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 752. 749.
Two couples participated in the game, one drank too much, and the other had to stay sober.

But fortunately, Xu Xin's biggest characteristic after drinking too much is obedience.

As long as there are people you trust, you can do whatever you want.

Even if it is broken.

It's easy to get him.

Except for the two children covering their noses...

There is no way, the father who drank too much stinks all over, it is too bad.

It would be better to sleep with the fragrant mother tonight.

Silent all night.

Early in the morning on the 16th, as the sound of splashing water stopped, Xu Xin regained consciousness and walked out wearing a bath towel.

After changing his clothes, he went downstairs, looked at his wife who was sitting at the dining table feeding the two children and asked:
"Will you come with me later?"

"No, someone will come and ask me to shoot a magazine later, I have to get busy."

"alright."

Xu Xin nodded, sat at the table and picked up the chopsticks.

Boiled rotten millet porridge, Roujiamo, and a cold dish of tomato, egg and cucumber.

This breakfast is so hangover-friendly.

After eating and drinking, he wiped his mouth:

"I'm leaving?"

"Well, tea is ready for you, it's at the door."

"it is good."

There is no need to say much about the tacit understanding between the husband and wife, Xu Xin nodded, went to the door, picked up the thermos cup, stepped on the slippers and went out the door.

He didn't wait for Su Meng.

Nothing these days.

Just give Mengmeng a holiday.

The 16th and 17th are Saturdays and Sundays, two days are enough to watch 20 films.

The films selected for the Silk Road Film Festival are not directly distributed. On the one hand, the number of films is not enough. If the main unit and the idea unit are forcibly divided, it is somewhat unnecessary.

On the other hand, there are relatively few awards, and 2 days are enough for films with two awards.

But this is not the final review.

实际上，16、17号是一次，23、24号是一次、30、31号是一次。

3 weekends, 3 reviews.

Guaranteed to have a few days between each review, to calm down the subjective emotions of the film in one's mind, and to treat each film with a more objective eye. This is what the jury needs to do.

For the first review, the judges on both sides are the same.

They have to perform a screening layering of the film internally.

For those films with poor director skills or film narrative, but with good scalability and relatively high potential, they will be placed in the Silk Road unit.

The main competition unit is the selection of films with a high degree of completion.

He drove all the way to Xiying Studio, and he went directly to the small screening hall.

He came earlier, everyone made an appointment at 9 o'clock, but it's only 8 o'clock now.

When we arrived in the screening hall, there were still staff from Xiying Studio preparing tea, snacks, and a selection form for scoring and sorting.

"Hi, Director Xu."

"Hey, hello."

After saying hello, Xu Xin found a corner seat and sat down, holding his mobile phone to continue watching "Hundred Birds in the Phoenix" that he hadn't finished yesterday.

He quite liked the story.

After a while, Li Pingdong arrived.

Xu Xin keenly noticed Li Pingdong's swollen eyeballs.

Apparently, the effects of the hangover haven't worn off.

"Director Li, how do you feel?"

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Li Pingdong sized up the energetic young man and said with emotion:
"It's better to be young...you'll be fine if you drink too much and get some sleep."

"Haha~ I woke up until dawn, and then sobered up."

Li Pingdong sat down next to him and shook his head slightly:
"I threw up once in the early morning, and it was much better. I didn't sleep much in the first half of the night..."

While speaking, he yawned very sleepily.

While the two were chatting, Gong Li also walked in.

I was taken aback for a moment, then walked over with a smile:

"what's the topic?"

"Hey, Teacher Gong."

Xu Xin got up and said hello.

Gong Li waved her hand to signal not to be so polite, and sat next to Li Pingdong.

"How much did we drink last night?"

"On average, one catty per person."

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Gong Li nodded slightly:
"I said I slept so soundly."

As he spoke, he changed the subject:
"Xiao Xu, how is the preparation for the new movie going?"

"It's almost done, and the filming will start directly after the film festival opens."

"I probably read the story, and it seems to be quite miserable in the end?"

"It's...not counting. It's a very interesting story. The main reason is that it has a lot of points to explore in terms of human nature..."

Now that they started chatting about "Scorching Sun", Xu Xin also opened up the chatterbox.

On the one hand, I talked with Li Pingdong about my shooting ideas, and on the other hand, I talked about the role of Gong Li.

But when Gong Li listened to Xu Xin's chat, her heart was full of emotion.

The child who hadn't graduated yet...

Also "grown up".

Time is really not forgiving.

tsk...

……

The three chatted for five or six minutes, and the door of the screening room was pushed open again.

The person who came this time was Jiang Wenli.

"Mr. Jiang."

As usual, Xu Xin said hello:

"Good morning."

"Morning, Xiao Xu."

After Jiang Wenli greeted Xu Xin, she nodded with Li Pingdong.

Then he smiled at Gong Li.

"Where's Lao Gu?"

Hearing Gong Li's words, Jiang Wenli pointed outside:

"I left the teacup in the car, go get it."

Then, she didn't sit next to Gong Li, but... looked at it deliberately, and said:

"Then I'll sit here."

There are 5 seats in each row of the screening hall, a total of 6 rows.

Xu Xin is in the fourth row from bottom to top.

Jiang Wenli sat in the middle of the fifth row.

He kept a certain distance from Gong Li.

Xu Xin took these details into his eyes, but didn't say anything.

He had heard from the old man about these two people.

Not to mention not dealing with it.

But... everyone is a crested head, as the saying goes, the king does not see the king.If you really want to count them down, before Gong Li left, she must have been the first sister.

But after Gong Li left Xiying Studio, Jiang Wenli was the first sister.

There is no hatred between the two of them, but there is no doubt that the relationship between them cannot be as gluey as glue, and they are heart-to-heart.

They also talked about superficial things.

Until Gu Changwei walked in.

Regardless of this person's history, in fact, on the surface, he is a very gentle and refined person.

His appearance is not good, but he speaks slowly.

The sound is neither high nor low.

From the first meeting, you will not leave any bad impression on others.

After Gu Changwei walked in, he waved his hand to everyone and sat down beside his wife.

However, Jiang Wenli said he was holding a cup.

But what he was carrying was a thermos.

The stainless steel kind.

After sitting down, he casually placed the pot on the small square tea table between Jiang Wenli and Jiang Wenli.

But Jiang Wenli unscrewed the thermos and said:
"Do you drink chrysanthemum tea? It's made with chrysanthemum and honeysuckle. Teacher Gong, would you like a cup?"

"I don't need it, I bring it with me. I soak it with gardenia~"

Gong Li raised her hands politely.

On the contrary, Li Pingdong, after hearing this, picked up the teacup from the table between him and Xu Xin.

"I'll have a drink~"

"Xiao Xu, what about you?"

"I have it too."

As Xu Xin said, he unscrewed the thermos and took a look...

"Mine is... uh... I don't know what it is."

Hearing this, Gong Li smiled and said:

"Mimi made it for you?"

"Yes, I'm the boss at home... Hehe."

"I think it's the same... When I looked at Mimi, I knew that this girl has a temperament that can take care of others. She is careful and smart."

"Hey, you don't dare to tell her face to face, or you'll be bloated."

While Xu Xin was chatting with Gong Li, Jiang Wenli had poured a full cup for Li Pingdong, then used the lid as a teacup, poured a cup and handed it to her husband.

Then he picked up the cup on the table and poured himself a cup.

As for the cup she used, Gu Changwei had scalded it with hot water.

But Xu Xin, who saw these small details in his eyes, had another feeling in his heart.

He could tell from the details of the meal last night.

In fact, Jiang Wenli was really kind to Gu Changwei.

From these details of life, it can really be said that there is nothing wrong with being a husband and a child.

but……

He always felt that the state of the couple was a little strange.

The state of the two of them was too polite.

It's like making it for outsiders to see.

However, there are no missing details at all.

For a moment, people couldn't feel what kind of state these two people were in.

He asked himself that he still has a keen eye for seeing people and observing things.

But when I met these two people, it was really ineffective.

Treat each other like guests?

Discord between face and heart?
Or is it a superficial couple?
I really don't know.

……

Soon, everyone came together.

After all 20 judges were in place, the staff came over and asked which one to watch first.

Although the nominal chairman of the jury is Zhang Yimou, he gave Wu Tianhuang the right to speak.

Wu Tianxuan simply waved his hand and followed the order.

As a result, the curtains were drawn, and the dragon logo of the first movie soon lit up in the dark room.

"Hello, Mr. Tree"

Start showing.

……

The entire screening was quiet.

After the one-hour and 24-minute film content ended, the credits rolled up along with the black screen, and the lights in the room were turned on.

No one spoke.

It's just that everyone picked up their own notebooks.

Title: "HELLO, Mr. Tree"

【Award Recommendation】

【Best Film Award】、【Yes】、【No】

【Best Director Award】、【Yes】、【No】

【Best Actor】...

Looking at these options, Xu Xin directly chose to ignore them.

Today is a diversion film. This film is obviously a film in the main competition unit, and has nothing to do with the Silk Road unit.

So, he just put a √ on the bottom of the form, 【Main Competition Unit】, and signed his name.

He believes that this is a film that belongs to the main competition unit.

And others didn't discuss it either.

It's just that everyone thinks differently.

As the judges of the main competition unit, the people next to him, Li Pingdong and Gong Li, obviously considered more things.

Xu Xin didn't ask the two of them for their answers.

Wait until Wu Tianxuan said:

"Is everyone done?"

Seeing that no one refuted, the old man waved his hand:
"The next one."

"Ogo"

……

In one morning, I watched three movies, and the progress was not fast.

At noon, everyone had a working meal in the cafeteria.

Because the third movie ended relatively late, it was after 1 o'clock after eating.

Wu Tianxuan personally made the decision:

"Take a break, how about we work overtime at night?"

When the old factory manager spoke, the others naturally had no objections.

And Xu Xin didn't go to Zhang Yimou either.

As the old man got older, he also began to have the habit of taking lunch breaks.

It's okay anyway, don't worry.

At 2:[-] in the afternoon, everyone gathered again.

Review continues.

And at 8:[-] in the evening, finally, the movie "Favorite" was scheduled.

"The next one...it's the last one for today. Well, let me see, "Favorite"...Guo Fucheng, Zhang Ziyi..."

Wu Tianxuan wore reading glasses, read the names of the main actors and directors aloud while looking at the information in the book.

And when they heard the word "Zhang Ziyi", Gu Changwei, Jiang Wenli, and even Wang Quan'an, etc., although they all coincided with each other, they focused their attention on Xu Xin and Qi Lei in different ways.

Even Zhang Yimou is the same.

The two were not sitting close to each other.

To see, you need to shift your gaze to a different angle.

This also caused a few people to look around.

But Xu Xin and Qi Lei looked down at the information in their hands as if they didn't hear anything.

It wasn't until the title of "Favorite" appeared that several people looked away.

From the beginning to the end, Xu Xin, who had watched the movie several times, was very calm.

Even during the movie screening, he felt other people's eyes on him several times, but he didn't respond.

Wait until the movie screening is over.

Today's task is also over.

Around 10 o'clock, the screening ended, and many people's faces inevitably showed a trace of fatigue.

Pack your things and prepare to leave.

The same is true for Xu Xin.

After marking √ on the main competition unit, he also got up and walked out.

In fact, to be honest, the atmosphere of the first 9 movies today is quite normal.

Good is good, bad is bad.

But this movie is the only one... Maybe it's also because the first day of work is over, and everyone always has to chat with each other, talk, and tell each other that it's hard work.

The same is true for Xu Xin.

Everyone present is seniors, regardless of personal relationship, at this moment, he, a young man, should have a hard time with others.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone went out one after another.

There is nothing to do on the way from the auditorium to the door.

After coming out, some people went directly to the guest house in the hot night.

At this time, Xu Xin expressed a little strangeness.

He stopped Zhang Yimou.

"Are you tired?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yimou glanced at him who took out a cigarette, and nodded:
"good."

Then the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not leave.

Right next to the trash can.

That means very simple:
"We have something to talk about."

These people are also human beings, and after seeing everything in their eyes, they left tacitly.

Even Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli were like this.

Both felt that the ending had been foreseen.

In fact, as the direct associates of the movie "Favorite", the two also understand how troublesome this movie is.Otherwise, Jiang Wenli wouldn't have deliberately chatted with Qi Lei for so long.

And now the people on stage are waiting for the movie.

The "offstage" people are also waiting.

The two were pushed by this force, and felt uncomfortable.

As for Gong Li, she didn't want to leave at first.

But after thinking about it, he left.

Just before leaving, she greeted Zhang Yimou:

"Yimou, I'm leaving too."

"Ah."

Zhang Yimou waved at her.

And wait until the people around are almost gone.

Zhang Yimou took off his baseball cap, rubbed his hair, looked at Xu Xin who was smoking, and said:

"How did this movie come about?"

Before he came, he really didn't know there was such a movie.

Recently, he has been busy with the later stage of "Thirteen Hairpins", and he knows very little about the news from the outside world.

If he hadn't been nagged by the old factory manager today, he might not have been able to react when he heard that there was Zhang Ziyi in it.

Not to mention, after he realized that Zhang Ziyi had acted in this play, he also looked at the investor on the information.

It turned out to be a company in Beijing...

It's full of questions right now.

And Xu Xin's answer is also very simple:
"What do you think of Zhang Ziyi's performance?"

"..."

Zhang Yimou frowned slightly.

After a while, he said:

"As far as the current 10 films are concerned, her performance is impeccable."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xu Xin:
"But the better she behaves, the more trouble she has. Don't you understand that?"

"clear."

Xu Xin nodded.

But Zhang Yimou was relieved to hear his attitude.

Now that the child understands, then... with his personality of never fighting unprepared, he must have a way to deal with it.

Just about to ask...

"But I'm not afraid."

"..."

At a speed visible to the naked eye, Zhang Yimou's cheek muscles twitched several times under the streetlight.
