I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 252: 250. Repay the other body with the way of the other

Chapter 252 250. Return the other body in the same way

The relationship between Xu Xin and Yang Mi was basically made public in this film crew, and there was no intention to hide anything.

The two of them lived in the same house openly, without any shyness at all.

After getting out of the elevator and meeting Li Haiping for dinner, the two brought their assistant to the room.

Xu Xin entered the room and sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette without saying a word.

And Yang Mi, as if she had never received the message in the elevator, instructed Sun Ting to take out all the things in the luggage and put them in their respective positions.

For an actor, sometimes staying in a hotel is like being at home.

Or... You have to treat this room like a home. Some necessary things should be carried with you at all times and used at any time.

For example, after she heard someone say that someone would use a kettle to boil their underwear and socks to disinfect, she would always carry an electric kettle with her wherever she went to film.

Another example is that she heard that someone hung clothes on the fire sprinkler above the head, causing the whole room to flood with water, and she would carry a retractable and foldable pole wherever she went.

As long as there is a wardrobe, open the wardrobe door, pull out the pole, and hang it on the two cabinet doors, it is a clothes drying pole.

For example, some things to prevent acclimatization, or some health-preserving decoctions and scented teas, etc.

These are almost necessary.

My brother doesn't care about this...he can't either.

It is simply unrealistic to expect him to distinguish which is the pot for boiling water and which is the pot specially used for cooking porridge.

She didn't intend to ask her brother to help.

Step by step according to her own rhythm, after preparing all the things that should be used, she waved her hand and signaled the three assistants to go out first. After closing the door, he asked Xu Xin:

"Have you figured it out?"

"... Let's just say it."

Xu Xin nodded, there was no coldness or disgust on his face, and he said calmly:

"Soldiers come to block the water and cover it with soil."

"...you chose to trust?"

"It doesn't really matter."

Hearing this, Xu Xin waved his hand:

"In the final analysis, the role has already been chosen, and the contract has been signed. In fact, you also knew from the beginning that the so-called severing the relationship between mother and daughter is purely childish. No matter what, at least it will be hard work. Pulling her to grow up. There is no overnight feud in the family... let alone a slap, when my dad slapped me, one of my belts broke..."

"Well, I know, seven wolves."

"..."

Listening to this YYGQ that "seeing the excitement is not a big deal", Xu Xin rolled his eyes:

"Seven wolves, Goldlion, I remember it very clearly. The belt is of good quality, like a **** horsewhip, and it's a big piece when you pull it..."

"Hey~"

Yang Mi smiled, and took out a cigarette from the cigarette case Xu Xin put on the table.

Still not lighting it, but sandwiching it, asking in a non-smoking but smoking gesture:

"Well, you continue."

"Actually, there is nothing to say. I can't think about what her mother is going to do when she comes here... That's not in my consideration. Movies are the top priority."

"But they are here for you."

"I'll give her ten minutes."

Crossing **** and making a "ten" movement, Xu Xin said:

"Only ten minutes. After ten minutes, I'll find an excuse to get out."

"..."

Yang Mi thought for a while, then shook her head slightly:

"Don't be so absolute, let's see why she came here... But I think there are only two possibilities for her to come to you? One is to thank you..."

"..."

Looking at Xu Xin's absurd expression, Yang Mi actually knew that the reason was just like a joke.

I stopped talking, but continued:

"The second possibility is nothing more than the future of the girl. If you use her, it is equivalent to breaking the ice in Aunt Liu, understand? So I think her biggest purpose should be to reproduce Liang Bingning's road... because from a certain On some levels, the situation of the two is actually similar, except that Liang Bingning took the initiative not to make trouble for the Beijing circle, so that she can go back later. But she was kicked out passively... To put it bluntly, she just wanted to You and the West Film Studio can do a good job, let's see if...you can film normally."

"So... what do you mean?"

"Leave a three-point favor. It is convenient for me to make requests in the future... So, this time I plan to make a foreshadowing first. If she really intends to do so, then I will give her some hope... By the way, I will do Yifei's ideological work, Take a shot and plan for the future."

"The problem is that you don't have enough to eat yourself."

"I don't have enough to eat because I'm too lazy to move now. I've eaten up everything now. When I come out, I'm not familiar with the place in my life. Don't I have to start from scratch? I have to save it for later. I want to recruit her." , You said it yourself just now, the broken bones are still connected... If she is a white-eyed wolf, then I didn't say it. But as long as it is not, if Aunt Liu pulls her hind leg at the critical moment, If you fall short of success, that’s called a loss.”

After saying something, Xu Xin didn't agree or deny it.

Just asked:

"Have you started to learn to be a boss now?"

"That's for sure... Otherwise, Uncle Xu has taught me so many things. If I still can't learn it, I won't be a fool?"

"...tsk."

Seeing his fiancée's serious expression, Xu Xin felt a little emotional:

"Obviously I am the young suzerain... The young suzerain went down the mountain to practice and found a confidante. It's fine. I brought it up the mountain, but my father accepted me as a disciple...Eh? Then what is the relationship between us? Senior brother? Senior sister? Husband and wife ?”

"emmmm..."

Yang Mi tilted her head:

"Brother who sleeps on bunk beds?"

"Brother~"

"Second Brother~"

"Big Brother~~~"

"Goose Goose Goose~Second Brother!"

Inexplicably being poked at the point of laughter again, Yang Mi smiled and took out the script from her bag.

Seeing that she was about to start work, Xu Xin didn't say much, took the cigarette from his girlfriend's hand and lit it, and let his thoughts go.

Her work is in the script.

But his work is in the head.

Both of them are busy.

…

At noon, in the big box of the China World Trade Center.

There are about 50 or 60 people in the production team of Xiying Film Studio, occupying four tables.

The International Trade Building is really very functional for the crew. Even the partitions of the boxes were designed with the possibility of the crew wrapping up the banquet, and the partitions of several boxes are all sliding doors.

Although it is not soundproof, it can turn two adjacent rooms into a large box.

From this point of view, it seems reasonable that it can become the first choice of many budget-friendly crews in Hengdian.

However...according to what Yang Mina heard, it seems that the glory of the China World Trade Center will not last long.

In Hengdian Town, and even on the side leading to the film and television city, several pieces of land have been opened up one after another this year, all of which are to be used for building hotels. There are three four-star hotels.

Whether China World Trade Center is still competitive by then remains to be seen.

A crew of fifty or sixty people is actually neither too big nor too small in a strict sense.

The staff sent by Xiying Studio are actually the old model with the new.

Big guys like Guo Zhengyi, each of them is equipped with three or four young people as standard this time.

The work of units within the system is actually a favorite in any era, and for units, it is also a good thing to pay attention to the cultivation of young people.

It was a rare big move this time, so I followed directly.

Follow the "masters" to learn, and then be on your own.

This is their career plan.

Xu Xin, as the director, had dinner with everyone, which actually has more symbolic meaning. The specific internal work of the crew has been arranged by Li Haiping.

Let’s get to know each other, get familiar with it, and just meet the director.

It’s time to eat and drink, and then I have to go to the location of the scene in the afternoon.

The work of the actors will start the day after tomorrow, but the work of the crew has already been put on the agenda.

Everyone ate and drank, and the final touch was a dumpling for each person.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that today is the winter solstice.

After dinner, the commercial vehicle and two minibuses rushed to the film and television city.

The first place to go is the bulletin board of Chenghuang Temple.

But when we arrived, there was a crew filming, and everyone didn't bother, just watched from the side. During the period, Li Pingdong also specially took out a red book, on which all kinds of things such as auspicious times and good days were recorded.

After looking at it, he suddenly said to Xu Xin who was watching the filming of the crew over there:

"Director Xu, it's not suitable to start the machine the day after tomorrow."

"...?"

Xu Xin was a little puzzled, but Li Pingdong pointed to the notebook and said:

"Look, Jiazi month, Dingyou day, avoid opening or breaking ground. Can't start the machine the day after tomorrow..."

As he spoke, he turned a page forward:

"Tomorrow can do it, Bingshen Day. Everything goes well, there is no taboo! How about we start the machine tomorrow? I'm also bringing "Xiaoguai" this time."

Guaiguai is a kind of snack of Wanwan, puffed food.

The outer packaging seems to be green.

And it has a feature, that is, there is an area on the outer packaging that is similar to a "message" postcard.

Probably like this:

"...... Be good..."

“………………”

Then I don’t know when it will start. When the filming crew starts up, they will buy a lot of these snacks specially, and write some words similar to wishes in the message column.

Put on a big plate.

Xu Xin also wrote it last time, and what he wrote on it was "bless the filming of "The Unspeakable Secret" (obediently) and go smoothly".

Hearing this, Xu Xin thought for a while and nodded:

"Okay. Let's open it tomorrow. After tomorrow, we will shoot a scene where Zhang Hanyu and Liang Bingning go home. It's the official start. How about it?... What does Director Li think?"

He asked Li Haiping next to him.

Li Haiping also seemed to know what "obediently" is, and nodded directly:

"Okay, anyway, the red cloth altar is ready. Let's put it here for tomorrow's opening ceremony, how about it? Let's come early, after turning on the machine, go to Li Ningyu's "home" to take pictures."

"... come here to drive? Is it suitable? The one who starts the machine worships the machine god, not the city god. You are talking... this is not the real city god's temple, right?"

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Li Haiping shook his head slightly:

"Director Xu, Jishen, Tang Xianzu, and even Mazu are the names of directors in the south. We all worship the local land gods and city gods. There is still a difference~"

"Well…"

"Sincerity leads to spirit. This time I also brought the incense mounts I invited from the Town God's Temple in Xi'an. The three major Town God's Temples in Xi'an, Yanjing, and Nanjing command the city gods of the world. We are also "following orders", and we must be smooth." Dangdang, take it easy."

"..."

Xu Xin couldn't understand, but he was greatly shocked.

Good guy...

…

The crew of the Anti-Japanese War drama was withdrawn, and the Chenghuang Temple was also vacant.

Xu Xin stood on the street and looked left and right, chatting with Li Haiping, Li Pingdong and several directors next to him.

How to shoot here, what angle to use, what needs to be shown.

After everything was confirmed, the crew switched to the selected location of Li Ningyu’s house. After talking about the camera angles, they went to Guangzhou Street to talk about the things needed for the celebration shots.

When approaching Guangzhou Street, Xu Xin received a message:

"Liu Yifei and Aunt Liu have arrived at the hotel and said they want to come up to find me, but I guess I'm waiting for you. As long as you know, you can work with peace of mind. I'll take care of her here. If everything goes well, your ten minutes will definitely be enough. "

"great, good luck."

After Yang Mi received this message, she temporarily put away the script.

It is not placed on the table, but directly installed in the drawer.

Then he checked again, and after confirming that there was no "work information" in the room, he sat down on the sofa again.

Aunt Liu...

Using Yanjing dialect, it is quite a "thing".

Sometimes she feels to Yang Mi, like a relative in the family.

My daughter has been good at studying since she was a child, so naturally, her daughter became a tool for her to show off.

When relatives get together during the holidays, she likes to praise her children, and she also likes to hear others praise their children.

It is also reasonable, and I feel that these "children from other people's families" who grew up with their own children are not as good as their own daughters.

But when everyone grows up, because of their different karma and encounters, when they achieve something...Suddenly, Aunt Liu found that she was a girl who was good at studying since she was a child, and seemed to be more than a step higher than others. After graduating, I didn't have the great future I imagined, but I could only find an ordinary job from 9 to 5...

But other children have gone through the beatings of the society, showing different characteristics, and their career achievements suddenly surpassed their own children by a large margin...

Although Yang Mi hasn't seen her yet, she can already guess that she must be out of balance.

Because at least at the "university stage", that is, before 2007, her daughter was still the best among her peers.

And she may not necessarily blame the reality of her daughter's sudden decline on herself.

Why don't you say "something" about her?

It is almost a standard configuration to find someone else's reason for making a mistake.

So, it’s better to have one thing more than one thing less. Yang Mi is not afraid of the other party, but she doesn’t want others to see that she has taken a leading role, her mentality is out of balance, and her words are both inside and outside of her.

Then it really becomes a situation of "you are so good now, if you don't help my daughter, you are an ungrateful bastard".

Not necessary.

It is not a crime to disgust yourself.

Then, there was a knock on the door.

Yang Mi walked to the door, opened the door, and when she saw the person coming, she smiled and opened her arms:

"Aunt Liu~"

"Hey, honey~"

Liu Xiaoli saw that Yang Mi was so enthusiastic, with the same friendly smile on her face, and hugged her.

And through this hug, Yang Mi also saw Liu Yifei whose face was full of "embarrassment".

She didn't say anything, just smiled, and then invited the two into the house:

"Aunt Liu, come in quickly."

"Um."

Liu Xiaoli responded, without any emotion on her face, she just walked into the room with eyes full of smiles, and Liu Yifei didn't talk to Yang Mi during the whole process.

After entering, Yang Mi pointed to the sofa and said:

"Aunt Liu, sit down."

Then he took a clean cup and started pouring water for the two of them.

Taking advantage of turning around to carry the water, she asked:

"Aunt Liu, why did you and Yifei come here? It's so cold, why are you working so hard?"

After speaking, I observed Liu Xiaoli's changes...

I have to admit that Liu Xiaoli is indeed beautiful.

Even if you are old, there is a saying that is good.

Time has never defeated a beauty.

Even though the traces of time have left scratches on her face, that temperament is still outstanding.

Little has changed.

After hearing this, Liu Xiaoli said with a smile:

"The film crew is starting up, so I have to come here for reasons. And I haven't seen you for a long time. Anyway, it's a two-hour journey. No, I just came here. I don't feel relieved when she comes out by herself."

The last sentence refers to Liu Yifei.

"Aunt Liu, Yifei, drink water."

After bringing the teacups in front of the two of them, Yang Mi sat down on the single sofa next to her, and nodded listening to her words:

"I see."

Just a small talk, the parents are short-tempered.

After Yang Mi responded, she said:

"It just so happens that there will be a meeting for all the actors in the evening, and we will be together when Yifei arrives."

"Um…"

Liu Yifei responded and asked:

"Is everyone here?"

"That's right, but there are still some waiting in Xi'an, and some of them came today."

How to prevent the other party from feeling "repulsed" in a conversation, Yang Mi now basically speaks out without blinking her eyes.

But Liu Xiaoli looked around at this time and asked:

"Mimi, is this your room? Where's Director Xu? Is Director Xu next door to you?"

"Xu Xin? He went to the scene. He left right after dinner, and he probably won't be back until a while. He lives here, and we live in the same room... You didn't tell Aunt Liu about us?"

As soon as Yang Mi said this, Liu Xiaoli shook her head slightly:

"I don't even need to say anything, I guessed it all. Ask her and she still plays sloppy with me."

Suddenly, Yang Mi had an idea.

At the same time, a complete "route" has been constructed in my mind.

I saw her stretch out her hand, revealing the silver ring:

"Hey, if someone asks, I will definitely not admit it. But Aunt Liu, I will definitely not hide it from you. We are engaged."

"...???"

It can be seen that Liu Xiaoli was really surprised.

Looking at the silver ring, he asked in surprise:

"Ordered? ... so soon?"

"Not so fast, we've been together for four years."

"Four years...?"

Liu Xiaoli pushed the days forward so much...

"So you two have known each other before "Golden Armor"?"

Yang Mi nodded and quietly extended the dating date:

"Yes, we have been together since we were in college."

"this…"

Liu Xiaoli nodded slightly, suppressed the surprise in her heart and asked:

"Then when are you going to do things?"

"The earliest is after May next year."

Yang Mi looked very "casual" and said:

"The company has a love agreement. My contract will not expire until the end of May next year. I'm thinking about it after it expires... Actually, I'm also quite worried. His father is a very traditional person and has always wanted to have a grandson. He is urging me to get married and have children. ...So it's hard for me to balance this aspect. In fact, I'm not career-minded, Aunt Liu. Maybe after marriage, I will be a husband and a child and focus on children. So... oh."

She sighed:

“It gives me a headache just to mention this.”

"..."

Yang Mi sighed suddenly, but Liu Xiaoli's eyes were suddenly stunned, and then a thoughtful light gradually appeared in Liu Xiaoli's eyes.

this…

What's the meaning?

I always feel like I heard something incredible.

It's just... this message is too informative, she needs some time to think about it.

Thinking of this, she subconsciously turned her head and glanced at her daughter...

In the final analysis, mothers are dedicated to their daughters.

Although I still can't figure it out now, but... the elder's experience is here, so she can really analyze some things that seem to be especially suitable for her daughter from this piece of news...

Road!

At this time, Yang Mi held up the teacup, covering the faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Like a little fox.

…

At around 4:00 p.m., Xu Xin finally finished his work. After giving a rough layout of the scene selection of the entire Hengdian, he boarded the car and started back to the city.

Then I saw a message from my fiancée to me in the early four o'clock:

"Call me when you're done."

He directly called back the phone.

"Dudu... Hey, are you in the same car as Director Li?"

"right."

"Okay, let me tell you, listen. I asked Jiaojiao to go downstairs just now. She looks strange, and no one knows her. After scanning around, I found Yifei's assistant in the hotel lobby. I guess I was waiting You, so I will talk to you on the phone first, lest they come looking for you as soon as you come back. "

"Um."

"In the afternoon, I met her mother and chatted for a while. I threw a bait out, and I told her that we were engaged, and then Uncle Xu is a very traditional person, and he hoped that I would be a husband and a child. So it is very likely that next year we will be married to the company. After the contract ended, she became a free agent and married you. Afterwards, she gradually faded out of this circle. After she heard the news, her state was obviously not right..."

Hearing this, Xu Xin was taken aback.

"You wait..."

Stopped his fiancée's words, he thought for a while, and said:

"Why don't you learn from Murong Fu here? The world is changing? Use the other way, return the other body?"

"Hahahahaha~"

Yang Mi's laughter immediately rang out.

Youdao is a father and son soldier who fights tiger brothers.

Jay Chou’s words, “When the eyes of these two couples turn, they have 800 minds, it’s super scary” is really correct.

Seeing her brother instantly understood, Yang Mi was seven points of love and two points of pride in her heart, and the last ninety-one points was gratification like an old father:

"You still understand me. That's right, I just used the tricks she used on Huayi on her. I told her that I want to take a break, I want to fade out of the circle. But I'm gone, is it the resources around you Is it free? As long as "The Sound of the Wind" is successful, brother, your influence will rise rapidly at that time, you are like this, Liang Bingning is like this, and so am I. But at this time, I suddenly want to withdraw... Hehehehe~ let her Figure it out for yourself~”

She laughed triumphantly:

"I'm smart, right? I saw the purpose of her visit today! As soon as she opened her mouth, I guessed it directly. She came to you, just like what we said before, one is to turn the friendship cameo into "starring" ", this will give a signal to the outside world that Xiying Studio dares to use her daughter, and the daughter has a backing. Secondly, she probably regards this place as the second "King of Kung Fu"... Sigh."

Speaking of this, she let out a long sigh:

"I really think that if Aunt Liu hadn't intervened, Yifei wouldn't have become like this now. Really...even a young man like me can see her purpose, you say...who else can't see it?"

"She has too much sense. She feels confident, but I don't know where her confidence comes from..."

When Xu Xin spoke, no one in the car spoke.

Just guessing...

Who is Director Xu talking about?

After hearing this, Yang Mi also responded:

"Well, so after they left today, I was thinking... Maybe I made a mistake in this step. If I don't give Yifei the script, you won't let her in. Then let her watch her daughter in the Hong Kong circle. , other places, if you taste the warmth and coldness of the world, you will be more sober."

"Maybe it will disappear completely. This kind of thing...it's hard to say."

"Yes. That's why I said that today. Aunt Liu...is really not smart."

"You can't be so absolute, what if people have already seen through your sugar-coated cannonball?"

"See through?... Heh."

Yang Mi chuckled lightly:

"I really can't see that she has the ability to eat the cannonballs and return the sugar coating. This afternoon, I almost wrote "I'm a queen, and Xu Xin has no one around Xu Xin to eat resources" on my face. She was still so slow in responding. I've been looking for cooperation for a long time. Let me blow your pillow for you, isn't it much better than her "stranger" talking to you in person? Her daughter and I are friends. It's really..."

"But at least it served its purpose, right?"

"That's true. As long as "The Wind" is successful, if she really has a heart, then she should understand that the more popular I am, the more things I will leave after I marry you and have children. And when she really mentions this, I will I will tell her that you are not Huayi, and if you want to come to eat, your daughter will hand over the nomination certificate first.

Otherwise, you will offend Xiying Film Studio and Huayi...don't talk about the Hong Kong circle, just go straight to Hollywood...Brother, isn't it a bit unkind for me to do this? After all, she is an elder..."

"No, you are helping "her". Good medicine is good for the disease, and good advice is good for deeds."

"...Well. If there is a chance, I will also talk to Yifei, provided that she can really mature. When you come back later, I guess they will come to you again. Just two things, one is that the friendship cameo becomes Acting, one is to attach to Xiying Film Studio as well. But I don’t think she can do the latter and make such a big sacrifice like Liang Bingning.”

"There is no place for her anymore. So, don't think about it. This is not the time to pull conflicts."

"Well, as long as you know it."

"Well, then I hang up."

"good."

Beep.

The phone hangs up.

No one asked who Xu Xin was calling just now.

No one will ask.

Everyone was just as if they couldn’t hear, or they closed their eyes and meditated, or looked out the window in a daze.

It's just that I don't know what I think in my heart.

Xu Xin didn't know how to explain either. He just went through the content of the phone call with his fiancée twice in his mind quickly, and then yawned lazily.

If he could, he would actually not want to worry about such things.

Because it has nothing to do with his career plan.

He is the director, he only needs to be responsible for his own work.

As long as the films he makes are good and popular, the actors in this circle can almost let him have whatever they want.

And now the reason why she spends so much effort, including calculations and routines, and even the tricks of North Qiaofeng and South Murong, is in the final analysis, planning for the career of her fiancée.

The two will start a family in the future.

Husband and wife should accompany, help and support each other to go on.

Although Xu Xin couldn't figure out how his fiancée became like this...

Yang Mi is a person who seems to have "enough money".

He is not stingy with anyone, he is very generous.

After adding myself and her marriage, it is almost impossible to have any great difficulties in terms of money.

Why she chose a career path that jumped from an actor to the top of the pyramid.

There is no reason.

You want to say that your dream at the beginning was to become a big star...

At this stage, it is actually enough.

Not to mention anything else, in terms of popularity, she is already very tall.

It's really not too far from the so-called "first line".

But now she seems to have forgotten the so-called coffee position, but instead began to lay out a higher career line.

To set up a company, to sign an artist, to put it an exaggeration, I want everyone in this circle to "bow their heads".

Wherever you go, regardless of men and women, no matter if you are at the same level or a few levels lower, you have to respectfully call out "Sister Mi".

I can't wait to sit on the top of the pyramid.

It’s not just limited to the coffee position, the level of popularity...

This change is quite outrageous.

Is greed?

Not like.

Are you ambitious?

Neither.

If she has a strong sense of enterprise, can she still achieve such a virtue?

Then here comes the problem...

Why is this?

Did something happen to her that she didn't know about? What stimulated you? Or is it someone who made a show of face?

Bullied?
