I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 240: 238. Smoke with Lip Gloss

Chapter 240 238. Smoke with lip gloss

"An audition?"

Xu Xin seemed a little interested.

"Yes, audition, let's not think about other things for now. I also like these rooms carefully designed by Director Xu... So, we are not hungry anyway, let's try it?"

She smiled like a flower.

But it sounded like a growl in Xu Xin's ears.

Clearly, the temptation is over.

Now it's time for warnings and threats.

So, at this step, Xu Xin cannot retreat.

If he says no, then he will prove from the side that he has no real power in this movie.

Whether it is true or not, don’t worry about it.

But Liang Bingning can use other methods to form an all-round fight against him.

Because the words "suitable for Li Ningyu" were said by himself.

At this time, he flinched, and it seemed a bit bluffing.

So, he nodded:

"Okay, come here then."

He finally stepped into the fourth wall and guided her to the room where Li Ningyu and Gu Xiaomeng had not completed the set.

"You sit here."

Pointing to the imperial concubine chair full of the style of the Republic of China.

"Li Ningyu is sitting here smoking in a daze. She is missing her boyfriend Liu Linzong. She doesn't care who the so-called ghost is at all. At this time, someone knocked on the door, interrupting your thoughts, and someone came and told you to go with them One trip, I want to take you to the torture room, you are afraid and helpless, and desperately hope that Liu Linzong will appear by your side to protect you....Just such a scene, 5 minutes?"

Liang Bingning didn't speak.

Just jotted down a few points of this scene and nodded.

And Xu Xin also stood outside the set room, and started pinching his watch.

Time passed by one minute and one second.

5 minutes later.

"I need a pack of cigarettes."

"Well…"

Hearing this, Xu Xin looked around and nodded.

In the pile of sundries beside , who knows who drank the remaining half bottle of mineral water.

He took it and poured some into the ashtray.

Beware of fire.

Then handed over the Zhonghua in his pocket and the lighter together.

Liang Bingning took out one and broke the orange cigarette holder in front of him.

Xu Xin was a little surprised.

But immediately nodded with a smile:

"Painful."

At that time, filters had not yet appeared.

Although it is an audition, even though it is fighting.

But Xu Xin still praised this attitude of detail.

Liang Bingning didn't speak.

Xu Xin also withdrew again.

retreated outside the fourth wall, not disturbing her, quietly waiting for the performance.

The so-called "fourth wall" is a stage play.

Stage performance, left and right, behind, are three walls.

The fourth wall is the invisible wall facing the audience.

The stage is the stage, and the audience is the audience.

The audience can only see, but not touch.

After he withdrew, Liang Bingning took a deep breath.

After waiting for about 30 seconds, she lit the cigarette.

Xu Xin knew when she saw her lighting and pinching her cigarette...

Old smoker.

The pose is so natural.

Either smoked or deliberately imitated.

Then, she chose to lean against the armrest of the chaise longue, put her hand holding the cigarette on the armrest naturally, and raised her legs.

Taking a puff of cigarette forcefully, she exhaled a long puff of smoke.

Then, when the smoke dissipated, his eyes were empty.

Staring blankly at the table.

But the eyes are not numb, but always moving.

Gives a sense of déjà vu that her attention is focused on the table.

is observing.

But the problem is that there is nothing on the table except an ashtray.

However, through the movement and shaking of her eyes, she showed a sense of déjà vu as if there was something on it...or a picture.

Nothing.

But see it as something.

Following this, a smile gradually appeared at the corner of her mouth, and her eyebrows and eyes softened.

A sweet feeling began to brew.

But she stopped blinking.

People cannot fail to blink.

Because it is necessary to distribute the tear film evenly in the cornea and conjunctiva tissue by blinking, keep the cornea and conjunctiva moist, prevent the eyeball from drying out, and bring nutrients to the ocular surface at the same time.

If you don't blink, your eyeballs will feel dry within seconds.

Finally, it changed from dryness to pain, reminding the brain that "it's time to blink".

But if the pain of not blinking has been maintained, red bloodshot eyes will start to appear in the eyes.

The sweetness is just brewing.

was quickly replaced by the reddish eyes.

And at this moment, her empty eyes began to focus.

It seems to have returned to reality from fantasy.

Back to reality, she took another drag on her cigarette.

The smoke from this puff of smoke represents melancholy.

"Hoo..."

Compared to the lump just now, this time it is a straight long stretch.

At this time, the sound of Xu Xin hitting the wooden beam sounded just right.

"Boom boom boom."

"!"

Liang Bingning's eyes quickly looked in the direction of the gate.

It seems that the voice is coming from here.

"…who?"

"Go to the interrogation room."

Xu Xin spoke.

Her body began to tremble.

Start looking around.

Finally, his eyes suddenly locked onto Xu Xin, with a begging expression on his face.

As if hoping that he would protect him.

"...OK."

Xu Xin nodded.

This play is over.

Hearing this, Liang Bingning blinked quickly.

Obviously sore eyes.

But the cigarette was not thrown into the ashtray, but the ash was skillfully flicked off.

Obviously want to finish smoking.

Xu Xin didn't say a word, and ignored it.

Instead, start judging in your head.

In the first half, there is nothing wrong with it.

There is nothing wrong with the change in the eyes and the empty state.

The problem is in the back.

The emotions behind it are too full.

Xu Xin thought about it according to his own understanding... If it was filming, he would hope that Liang Bingning would not express this kind of trembling fear.

He would want the other party to focus on the cigarette that brought the audience two mood changes.

The first puff of smoke means that the eyes are empty.

The second time the smoke is long, which shows her melancholy breathing.

And for the third time, he hoped to see her just make the straight smoke of this cigarette shake and become disordered, with a weak expression on her face to express this emotion, and finally find the "illusory" Liu Linzong, don't use begging eyes.

Because she has a clear conscience.

So, it should come out with a...feeling of missing and being protected.

The second half of the scene is here.

Fortunately, something went wrong.

If there are no problems, he plans to change the heroine in this play.

After all, if there is nothing wrong with it, Yang Mi will become the kind of person who is not even worthy of carrying her shoes.

Both sides are not of the same magnitude at all.

And now...

Reminiscing about the way my girlfriend played this month...

Comparing with the eyes...

Um.

Half a catty.

Absolutely can play.

It’s not that you can’t keep up with flattery.

Then he has a bottom line in his heart.

And that was the purpose of his utterance.

I see it, and I have a bottom line.

So...

"It's great. Although there are still some shortcomings, the emotions in the first half are enough. The second half needs to be adjusted."

"Like?"

Liang Bingning just threw the cigarette into the ashtray.

After Xu Xin told the joke in his head, Liang Bingning grabbed the cigarette case again:

"Then I'll do it again..."

"Haha, that's not necessary. It's already very good, this is not a real show, it's just an audition."

Hearing this, Liang Bingning nodded:

"Is that so... Well, this chair is quite comfortable to sit on. Director Xu, let's sit and chat."

She pointed to the orange single sofa next to the chaise longue.

Xu Xin was taken aback for a moment, then nodded:

"good."

Liang Bingning herself was sitting next to the chaise longue with the handle, and Xu Xin was sitting on the single sofa, and the two met at this right angle.

"Did Director Xu choose other actors for this play?"

"not yet."

Xu Xin started talking nonsense with his eyes open:

"I still have to watch it. But after watching Sister Bingbing's play, I feel that Li Ningyu is just made for you."

"Oh, I also want to cooperate with Director Xu~"

Seeing that Xu Xin wanted to control herself again, she began to retreat.

Xu Xin changed the subject with a smile:

"Sister Bingbing is only here to visit this time?"

He watched from the other side.

"What does Director Xu think?"

She throws bricks to attract jade.

"I don't know...Isn't Sister Bingbing in touch with Mr. Qi recently?"

He besieged Wei and rescued Zhao.

"That's because my idol ignored me. I called for dinner, but I didn't come for coffee. I came for tea, but I went to class after sitting for less than half an hour. I called for a drink and didn't come." ..."

She waits for work at leisure.

"I'm really in class, sister Bingbing, do you want to check my attendance records?"

He turned against customers.

"Of course I believe in Director Xu, but I'm really sad to be rejected by Director Xu over and over again. You are my idol."

Her tricks.

"I can't help it, I'm really busy recently. I have to go to class and prepare a movie at the same time. No, it's all the result of my recent work. These sets are not just imagined out of thin air, they are all settled after a long time of communication."

He, Li Daitao, froze.

"It's true... Director Xu has been working hard recently, right? You look a little haggard."

She was buzzing.

"It's okay, as long as you don't live up to the trust given by the factory. Is there any cooperation between Mr. Qi and Sister Bingbing this time?"

He killed with a knife.

"..."

Liang Bingning finally fell silent for a while.

Then he said:

"Director Xu, what else do I need to say to express the fact that I really "like you"?"

"..."

Beauty trap? Darkness?

Tune the tiger away from the mountain? Drain from the bottom of the pot?

He began to think about infinite possibilities in his mind.

But Liang Bingning sighed:

"Oh...why is it so difficult to cooperate with Director Xu?"

Xu Xinxin said, then you can ask me how I can join Xiying Film Studio.

Still not giving up, planning to give it a go, right?

After thinking about it, he decided to escape the golden cicada:

"No way, the factory requires internal digestion."

After saying this sentence, I also added a sentence:

"Boss Tian was also asking me about this matter just now, asking about candidates. Sister Jiang can't participate, and other people can only be selected in the cast. I have given me all the information, but I haven't come to read it urgently."

Hearing this, Liang Bingning suddenly had a gleam of light in his eyes.

That is the ultimate move to seal the throat at the sight of blood:

"But why did I hear from the leaders who came this afternoon that the factory respected Director Xu's opinions on casting? I also asked, and they said it was not so absolute."

If Xu Xin had never met Tian Shuanghe, he might have really been put on the shelf by these words.

But after hearing this, he actually understood where Tian Shuanghe said "everyone cooperates with you".

So, he laughed.

Laughing and throwing his big move.

"That's because they can't communicate directly with Mr. Tian. In the afternoon, Mr. Tian told me personally, choose carefully internally, and don't fool me. Otherwise, does Miss Bingbing think I'm joking with you? I thought you were suitable before." , and after watching your play, I feel that you are more suitable. This role is just like the one set for you... Sigh."

A long sigh.

CHECKMATE.

General.

baby.

This strategy is called: Capture the thief first and capture the king first.

Now, it's your turn.

"..."

Sure enough, when Xu Xin said this, she fell silent.

The initiative is lost.

When a ferocious beast was pressed down, revealing its belly and throat...

"well…"

Even if you don't want to.

But after exchanging these few sentences, she knew that her strategy of being more active was aborted.

but…

It doesn't matter.

I have got what I want.

lose…?

No, just won less.

So, she blinked:

"Is that so..."

After completing the mentality change in one sentence, she said with a smile:

"That is to say, if I want to be in my idol's play, I have to join Xiying Studio?"

After saying this, she was thinking about what kind of attitude the other party would use to continue to control herself.

Victor's aloof?

Still arrogant?

Or is it a speech like a declaration?

It should be all three.

After all... From the beginning to the end, isn't what everyone wants is my attitude?

Now, the attitude is given.

Enjoy your victory, handsome boy.

This is what you deserve.

But…

"Um?"

She suddenly heard a question.

Then I saw a pair of eyes full of doubts and... an excitement.

"What did Sister Bingbing just say?"

Ah…

Liang Bingning, who had already made a decision and didn't look back, let out a chuckle in her heart.

Not satisfied?

Want to feel a double sense of accomplishment and joy?

Man...

"I said…"

"Snapped!"

Xu Xin slapped his thigh:

"Yes! Yes! As long as this is not the case? Why didn't I think of it! As long as Sister Bingbing comes here, won't everything be a matter of course?"

"...?"

Liang Bingning was taken aback.

what's the situation?

Looking at Xu Xin whose eyes were shining with excitement, she was stunned.

How come you seem to have just thought of this kind of result.

What's the meaning?

Don't you... you really don't know?

During our communication during this period, everything you said is true?

You can't guess what I mean?

Now that you guessed it, what are you so excited about?

As you didn't guess...

is thinking about it.

She suddenly heard another sentence:

"But... doesn't this seem to be too wronged by Sister Bingbing? Sister Bingbing is so popular, coming to us... is not condescending?"

What nonsense are you talking about?

You are Xiying Studio.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse...Huh?

She suddenly reacted.

Is this a step down for yourself?

Otherwise, even an individual would not feel that he could ride on the head of an old film studio, would he?

What's more, it is the film studio with the most awards and the widest reputation.

An outsider might not be able to see through it... But you and Qi Lei are almost wearing a pair of pants, and you still say that?

You're either really stupid.

or…

Is it the humility and poise of a winner?

After thinking about it, she smiled and said:

"I said, you are my idol. What's more, this word can't be used on me, it's too big. Let's count... how did Director Xu say that word? Two-way running? Right, right, This should be the right one. It’s just that I don’t know what the factory’s attitude is.”

"Haha~"

Xu Xin smiled even more happily:

"Yes, yes, yes, that's right, going in both directions. As for the factory... I think it must be very welcome. But..."

"…but?"

"But you don't have to worry, Sister Bingbing. If you can reach a cooperation, everyone will definitely welcome it. In the past few days, I will ask the factory to see how to deal with this matter, how is it?"

"..."

Liang Bingning knew that she was wrong again.

Some unassuming demeanor or something.

nonexistent.

He just wants to know where his sincerity lies.

Is it a name, a qualification, or...a deeper cooperation?

And it depends on your attitude, right?

tsk...

In the second round, I also lost.

In fact, there are two types of answers here.

One kind is "Idol, you are too polite, you praise me too high. I just want to cooperate with you." And the other kind is what she wants to say now:

"Idols have said that, what else can I say? Then, please ask our dear director Xu to say a few words for me? OK?"

One is "cooperate with one name at a time".

And the sentence he said was "I will do as much as you give me in whatever position you give me".

The difference between the two is quite big.

One is to be affiliated with the qualification, and the other is to become a subsidiary.

If it was before, she would definitely choose to hang up.

But now...she suddenly didn't want to do this.

This time, she chose to trust her intuition.

Xiying Studio…

No, the little man in front of me.

The value you may see is just the tip of the iceberg.

A person with such a brain must not be an ordinary person who can see through at a glance.

Already won anyway.

Do you want to take another gamble without losing your capital?

Through deliberation, she chose to gamble.

Betting that the person in front of him has greater value...waiting for himself.

Let's win-win in the true sense!

As expected, Xu Xin nodded with a smile after he finished his sentence:

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me. Since Sister Bingbing chooses to trust me so much, then I will definitely not let you down."

Hearing this, Liang Bingning smiled and stretched out her hand:

"Idol, please teach me a lot from now on."

The tone is cute and playful.

But the eyes are shining.

Xu Xin smiled and shook it.

After still touching the fingers, they separated.

Still such a gentleman.

But this time... for some reason, after feeling this kind of restraint again, Liang Bingning was suddenly a little unconvinced.

It is said that the person who admires you the most is often the enemy.

Recalling the "fighting" during this period...

Vaguely, a question appeared in her mind.

At this time, you can still maintain such a restrained rationality and calmness, and come up with such a series of tricks.

Can still maintain this calm gentlemanly demeanor.

Are you really so rational?

Why do I not believe it so much?

is a smart guy.

is a good opponent.

Still a… handsome guy.

Humorous, witty, gentlemanly, humble.

Even consecutive victories haven't dazzled you?

There was a sudden restlessness in her heart.

Xu Xin was in a good mood and said:

"Then I told the factory that the role of Li Ningyu no longer considers other people, but Sister Bingbing."

As he spoke, he was about to grab the cigarette case, planning to chat about "Li Ningyu".

But who knew that Liang Bingning's hands were faster than him.

"Let me do it."

After picking up the cigarette case, he took out a cigarette and stuck it to his lips.

The lighter is lit.

Cigarette with a little lip gloss on it was handed over.

"..."

Xu Xin subconsciously shifted his gaze from the cigarette holder to her face.

saw her eyes.

Those eyes seem to say:

"Smoke it, smoke this cigarette, we will have the next story."

Empty studio, somewhat ambiguously arranged set room.

Crystal lip gloss residue.

and those peach blossom-like eyes seemed to be endowed with a different meaning at this moment.

An ambiguous atmosphere began to reverberate around the two of them.

But for Xu Xin...

What's the next story?

Xu Xin couldn't guess.

I don’t want to guess either.

less important.

After a pause, he just looked at her with a still sober and gentle gaze:

"This is not an audition, I mean take the cigarettes and leave, go out and smoke, smoking is prohibited here."

"..."

The **** with pink nails trembled as they handed over the cigarette.

Liang Bingning was about to say something, but the cigarette had already been taken away and thrown into the ashtray.

There was a "呲" sound.

Xu Xin stood up:

"Sister Bingbing, shall we go eat?"

Liang Bingning looked up.

Looking at those condescending eyes.

There was a smile on his face:

"Yeah. Okay~ Then I will listen to the idol to arrange it?"

As she spoke, she also stood up.

Xu Xin helped her get her bag next door, and the sound of footsteps rang out:

"Mr. Mu is not here?"

"emmmm... can be absent."

"Ha, don't say goodbye, let's call together."

"I'm just kidding."

"Well, I know. Let's go, please."

"Idol…"

Liang Bingning suddenly nodded:

"It's so kind of you."

Xu Xin smiled slightly, raised his hand to motion for him to help her carry the bag, and said:

“It is my pleasure to help a lady carry her bag.”

"Ha~!"

…

"Hello, brother?"

"Um…"

"Huh?"

Yang Mi on the phone was stunned for a moment, and asked:

"Have you been drinking?"

"...you heard this too?"

In the hotel, Xu Xin asked in surprise while leaning on the bed half asleep.

"How fresh, you can hear it as soon as you hear it. Who did you drink with? The leader?"

"No, Liang Bingning."

"..."

Yang Mi was silent for a while, and then the movement sounded again:

"How did she pass?"

"Boss Tian called..."

Xu Xin repeated what happened this afternoon.

But it didn’t say anything about the cigarette when it left the studio at the end.

Not necessary.

Speaking this kind of thing seems to be a "confession", but in fact, it is a brick full of problems.

Once it is filled into the wall called "trust", it cannot be seen on the surface.

But as time goes by, when there are more bricks in these problems, they will become riddled with holes.

Obviously the people living inside are clean.

Whether it can be turned into a knife by the rumors outside, or an evil wind blowing from nowhere.

Being impacted like this, it will become festering wounds one by one.

It is no longer difficult to heal.

So, it doesn't mean that if you are 100% honest, you will be safe with each other.

Some things, it is better not to say them.

The less trouble, the better.

Although not absolutely, but at least he thinks so.

After retelling everything, Yang Mi asked directly:

"How is her acting?"

"If she can do as I said, and achieve perfection in one line, then I will kill this film and won't let her in. But after watching it, I have a bottom line in my heart. Do you know the reason?"

Hearing this, Yang Mi felt sweet:

"I know, because I have you and she doesn't."

"So good, give me a kiss~"

"MUA~Bobobobobobobo..."

A series of kisses sounded, and Xu Xin laughed out loud.

"Okay, that's it, I'm going to bed... By the way, what do you want to eat? I'll take it back for you?"

"Old Sun's family made steamed buns!"

"噫~~~"

Xu Xin felt disgusted for a while:

"I ate at his restaurant at night. It was too business-like and unpalatable. Change~"

"Forget it. Then I hang up?"

"Well, I'm asleep too."
