I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

   Volume 1

  Chapter 265

  It was less than three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Xin, who had changed to a commercial car because he disliked the high-profile Rolls-Royce, looked at the street in front of him wonderingly:

   "Dad, where is this?"

   "Jiaotong University Computer City."

   "...what are we doing here?"

   "I've said it all, give Mimi a gift."

   "...give her a computer?"

   "..."

  Looking at his son's bewildered face, Xu Daqiang was a little speechless.

  Xu Xin was really confused.

  Standing at this intersection, looking at the sparsely populated streets... The only news he knows is that the name of the neighborhood in front of him is "Ivy Garden", and it is next to Xi'an Jiaotong University.

  I don’t know anything else.

   And this community has not been built yet, but it should be a school district housing, right?

   While thinking about it, Xu Daqiang said to Yang Mi who was wearing a mask:

   "Mimi, have you seen this building?"

"Um."

  Yang Mi nodded, seeing that the movement at the intersection had already laid the foundation, and the reinforced concrete frame floor was being built, and asked:

   "What's the matter? Uncle Xu."

   "You drop."

   "..."

  Yang Mi's mouth twitched.

  That appearance is almost the same as Xu Xin.

"What?"

   She asked back as if she didn't hear clearly.

  Xu Daqiang repeated with a smile:

   "You drop."

   "I drop... sprinkle?"

   Nondescript Shaanxi dialect came out of her mouth.

   "You drop the room."

   "..."

  Yang Mi was dumbfounded instantly.

  Xu Xin was also dumbfounded.

"dad?"

  Seeing Xu Daqiang taking out a cigarette, he said:

"I came to Xi'an this time to do this. I have a friend who owes me money, but I can't get the cash out, and the relationship is not good. Just tell me: brother, there is a house here. Come and see, if you like it I want it. I really can’t give you any cash~… I’ll come here to have a look, okay. Next to Jiaotong University, there is a bank, there is a hospital, and this will be the business district of the university. It’s still a crossroads , I think the location is good, and we have been friends for many years, so I want it."

   After finishing speaking, he drew a circle towards the real estate in front of him with a cigarette between his fingers:

   "The building facing the street is all yours~ Last time I drank and chatted with Brother Yang, and said that there are relatives here at home? Well, come on, next to the Jiaotong University Affiliated Middle School, elementary school, and kindergarten also have... school district rooms."

   "..."

  Yang Mi is really confused.

  Looking blankly at the half-frame building in front of him, he still hasn't realized what's going on in his mind.

   "After the new year and the new year, just come here and go through the formalities. This building is a shopping mall. You can rent it out or do it. Don't delay~"

   "I...I don't want to..."

   "Okay, one family doesn't speak two languages."

  Yang Mi's refusal just came out when she was blocked back.

  Xu Daqiang waved his hand:

   "The reason for coming to Xi'an is to look at houses. By the way, let's take a look at you, Sanjin, what do you think?"

  Xu Xin nodded after scanning all the buildings under construction:

"good."

   "That's fine, Mimi will come to complete the formalities after a while."

   "No, Uncle Xu, I really can't..."

   "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah wow."

   Seeing that Yang Mi still refused, Xu Daqiang became a little impatient:

   "Otherwise, who should I give it to? Three golds?...Ask him how many apartments our family has in Xi'an, where the doors are opened, and ask him if he knows?"

   "...how many sets?"

  Following what Dad said, Xu Xin asked.

  Yang Mi was speechless, but Xu Daqiang also said:

   "I don't know, Xiao Li, how many suites does our family have now?"

  Li Hao pondered for a while and said:

   "I have to go back and look at the house book...Uncle, I don't know. About a dozen houses? It seems to be a few villas and a few houses..."

   "..."

  Listening to these three people chatting, Yang Mi felt her blood pressure rising slowly.

   Put aside whether you have money or not.

  Don’t know how many houses in your family?

this…

  …

  Night, state banquet.

  Xu Daqiang arranged a rather luxurious dinner banquet.

  The people in the crew didn't even let go of Zhao Liying and Jing Tian.

all come.

eat.

drink.

   Then, everyone drank too much.

  The end of the year is approaching, and the end of "The Wind" is actually equivalent to the end of this year. This drink was like a summary of a whole year's hard work. Even eating and drinking, it didn't end until near ten o'clock in the evening.

   After it was over, Xu Daqiang left.

   After finishing the work today, he has to prepare for the gift giving, so he will go back to Yanjing first.

  Come here to see the two children through "debt collection".

   Originally planned to stay one more day, it can be seen that the two babies are ready to end here, so that's fine.

   As for what Yang Mi told him about wanting to go abroad, to Thailand or something, Xu Daqiang also agreed with a smile. Especially when I heard that the Longevity Card can also be offered in Thailand, I specifically told you not to do it...

  She hasn't passed the door yet, so it's not particularly appropriate to do this.

   After the two get married and get the certificate, it will be appropriate to go for it.

   And when people are drunk, they tend to chatter.

  Back in the guest house, there was no one else around, Xu Xin held his fiancée's hand, sat on the sofa and chattered away.

"After the filming of "The Wind", as long as you succeed, your position will be stabilized. Then you can do whatever you want, and no one will say you are "frivolous"...As long as you succeed, you will be able to stabilize …If you succeed, you will be the new campus belle. The premise is success, you know? You understand? You must understand, as long as you are stable, you will..."

   "..."

  Yang Mi didn't make a sound either.

   Listening to the elder brother who had fed nearly a catty and a half, talking about one thing over and over again.

  She also drank some wine, but not much.

   And the reason why he is not sleeping right now is because he wants his brother to drink some tea to soothe the hangover.

  But... Gradually, she couldn't stand it anymore.

  Why is the mouth so broken?

  So...

   "You, beep!"

   Fingers pinched Xu Xin's lips directly, she said speechlessly:

   "Brother, we've been rambling all the way. I know it all, can't I?... Hurry up, go take a shower."

   "Don't you drink tea?"

   "You go wash first, I'll soak it for you."

"Oh fine…"

  Xu Xin nodded and walked into the bathroom.

  Yang Mi planned to start packing their personal items.

  Although these things are basically the job of the assistants, she still has to clean up some of their personal belongings by herself.

  But just as the suitcase was opened, suddenly, she heard a knock on the door.

   "Boom boom."

   "Who is it?"

   "Sister Mi, it's me."

  Zhang Jiao's voice sounded outside the door.

   "Jiaojiao?"

  Yang Mi opened the door with some doubts:

"What's the matter?"

   "Sister... Can I spare you a little time?"

   "...?"

  Looking at Zhang Jiao who was also flushed, Yang Mi knew that she also drank today. So no surprise.

   Although under normal circumstances, the assistant must not drink alcohol, otherwise it will not take good care of the artist.

  But today Uncle Xu said that everyone drinks and no one can be left behind.

  So everyone, including Sun Ting, drank some.

  After hearing this, Yang Mi nodded:

   "Okay, come in."

  After making way for Zhang Jiao to come in, Yang Mi went to the bedroom and shouted at Xu Xin in the bathroom:

   "Put on clothes when I come out later, Jiaojiao is here."

"okay."

  Xu Xin responded.

  Yang Mi nodded and closed the bedroom door.

   And Zhang Jiao just pretended not to hear...

  No way, I got used to it.

   Long ago, he was no longer the Chu Ding who never entered or exited at the door.

  By the time Yang Mi turned her head, Zhang Jiao was already holding her and Xu Xin's cups, brewing boiling water into tea.

   "Sit down, what's the matter?"

  Of course she would not believe that her assistant came to find her, it was just a simple greeting.

  The filming of "The Sound of the Wind" can be regarded as finished, and everyone's energy is exhausted.

  Now is the time to catch up on sleep. If you don’t take a good rest and come to find yourself, obviously something is wrong.

  After she was seated, she cut to the chase:

   "What's wrong? What's the problem?"

"without."

  Zhang Jiao shook her head and knew that Sister Mi didn't like ink marks, so she said directly:

   "Sister, I want to resign."

   "..."

  Yang Mi was taken aback.

  Seeing this girl quickly waved her hand:

   "I know that I did something wrong, so what I want to say is that for the next period of time, I... will not be paid. Until I take care of you and find a new image assistant..."

   Regarding this matter, Yang Mi was noncommittal.

   just asked:

   "What's the reason? Did you follow me and get wronged?"

   "No no no no!"

  Zhang Jiao quickly shook her head:

   "In the past few months with you, not to mention anything else, the money I earned and the benefits I got have caught up with me working in Hengdian for a year."

   "... why is that?"

  Yang Mi is really interested.

   Not annoyed, not angry, not even betrayed.

  Because she could tell that Jiaojiao was not such a person.

  After hearing this, Zhang Jiao finally said seriously:

"Because... I saw your play in the morning, just... Including this period of time, from "Sword" to reading the script for you, and now... Especially the play with four emotions, and today's one Mirror to the end!"

  Her tone gradually became firm:

   "I still want to be an actor! I want to be an actor like you!"

   In the latter case, Yang Mi deserves to be flattered.

  Because she doesn't feel that her acting skills are now in the air.

  In all honesty, if it wasn't for this entire year...

  How she should handle this script, in fact, she has no idea.

  So, she doesn't think she is very talented.

   It can only be said that she is more fully prepared.

  So this should be a joy to listen to.

  As for the previous sentence, she didn't show any sneer after listening to it.

   Instead, he nodded seriously:

   "Tell me about your plan."

   "...?"

  Zhang Jiao was taken aback.

   "Aren't you… angry?"

  She asked this sentence because she felt that she was very unkind.

  Follow Sister Mi, not to mention anything else, red envelopes, salary, etc. are not a lot of money.

  The sentence that a few months catch up with a year is completely true.

  But after working for a few months, I suddenly want to resign... From the perspective of the boss, it is really not a thing.

   But the problem is...it's 2009.

  She is already 24 years old.

  The next term of Beijing Film Academy will start in September this year.

   If you continue to wait like this until you graduate, you will go straight to the third year.

   Once in Hengdian, she talked with Director Xu about this matter.

  Time is like a slow death to her. She knows that she will die, but she can't have both dreams and reality.

   She wants to choose reality.

  But I am in this Vanity Fair called "Dream" again, watching Sister Mi performing, watching Liang Bingning hug...

  Everything is like adding a piece of firewood to the fire every day.

   Today, when I saw the scene of the two people, whether it was emotions or other acting skills that were so attractive... This huge fire was completely ignited by Moutai.

  Especially after dinner, because everyone drank, so we split up.

  Sister Mi and Brother Xu were picked up by the car, and when they were about to take a taxi to leave, Zhao Liying, who was standing in the cold wind, said drunkenly:

   "Jiaojiao, we will be picked up by cars in the future~"

   It was such a simple sentence, but it became the best catalyst.

  Even... time is too late.

  But she really didn't want to continue like this.

   want to give it a go.

  See if a bicycle can be turned into a motorcycle.

  So, with great apprehension, and even prepared to be looked down upon, she found her boss and spoke her mind.

   Facing her own problems, Sister Mi seemed very calm.

   Didn't answer whether he was angry or not, but instead asked:

   "Have you saved enough money? ... You won't ask the family to get it again?"

"No, no! I've saved enough... Salary, plus the red envelopes you and Brother Xu gave you during these few festivals, I asked Baozi about the price of the acting training class. The money is enough to support me in renting a house in Yanjing and taking training classes After that, as long as you are admitted to Beijing Film Academy, you can live in a dormitory, and then... At worst, go back to your old business and go to the street to take some model photos. Anyway, the Internet is quite developed now, and more and more people buy clothes on Taobao It's..."

"Um…"

  Yang Mi nodded slightly.

   But not in recognition, but in thinking.

   Just then, the door was opened.

  Wearing a vest and big pants, Xu Xin walked out unsteadily while wiping his head:

   "Sister, I'm thirsty."

   "Go get some mineral water, and another glass."

  Yang Mi gave an order casually.

  Zhang Jiao nodded quickly.

   Soon, Xu Xin poured a cup of warm tea mixed with water into his stomach.

   After lighting another cigarette, he asked in bewilderment:

   "What are you talking about? ... Zhang Jiao, don't sleep at night, aren't you tired?"

   "Jiaojiao wants to resign."

   "Oh oh...huh?"

  Xu Xin, who reacted a little slower, was taken aback.

"what?"

   "I... want to resign and apply for Beijing Film Academy."

  Zhang Jiao's tone was hesitant.

  But Xu Xin's reaction was actually similar to Yang Mi's.

first sentence:

   "Then you have to go to a training class, have you saved enough money?"

   "Enough is enough, brother Xu, enough."

   "Oh~ that's fine."

   Yang Mi was not used to make a decision, so Xu Xin nodded directly:

   "Not bad, not bad, I finally figured out my future direction, right?... During this period of time in the group, I only see you in a daze. Um... Tell me about the plan, how did you plan?"

   "Hey, I haven't agreed yet."

  Yang Mi was a little speechless:

   "Don't make trouble."

   "What's the trouble, didn't she always want to be an actress? This is a good thing. It's better than recalling this dream five, ten, or twenty years later, and regretting it when facing reality?"

  Xu Xin blinked his drunken eyes, and nodded to Zhang Jiao in agreement:

   "Come on, I'm optimistic about you~~"

   "...he drank too much, don't be like him."

  Yang Mi was a little speechless, and after drawing back Zhang Jiao's attention, she said:

   "Jiaojiao, this line of work...is very hard."

  She speaks earnestly:

   "Don't look at me like this now...he accounts for 80% of my success..."

   "I got one hundred! One hundred and fifty!"

   "Yes yes yes, you smoke and drink tea obediently, obediently, shut your mouth."

   Speechlessly looking at the drunkard who in her eyes is "coquettish and cute", Yang Mi pinched his cheek dotingly, and then continued to say to Zhang Jiao:

"I'm lucky, you know? But before I met her, I also experienced the hardships of young actors. But in the same way, when it comes to the starting point, my starting point is already much higher than that of ordinary actors. But that's the case, I have seen, heard, and experienced many things in this industry... This industry looks glamorous on the surface, but it does not mean that all talents will encounter opportunities. Have you never heard of Guo Degang's cross talk? Before there is no opportunity, talent It's like shit."

"I know…"

  Zhang Jiao nodded vigorously:

   "But... Sister Mi, I have already made up my mind. I won't change it!... I want to be an actor!"

"this…"

   Looking at the girl whose head suddenly stiffened, Yang Mi had a headache.

  She has no other concerns, but feels that... going back to school now is a bit too old.

   The actor is nothing.

  But the problem is...

  You are a woman.

   "How about I help you find a few scenes, you try? Or start with a small role..."

   "Sister, Brother Xu said that not everyone is a genius of experience school...I want to go to school for systematic learning. Because...Brother Xu has seen me perform several times..."

   "Well, so-so."

   "Oops, I beg you, just keep your mouth shut..."

  Yang Mi was speechless.

  Why are you acting like a slumber?

  But this time, Xu Xin shook his head slightly, and said directly:

"Don't think that I'm full of nonsense when I drink too much. What I said is true. Her acting skills are much weaker than Zhao Liying. I can see it from "Golden Armor" to Wai Du. To put it bluntly, if she does As an actor, she must arm herself with knowledge and skills. Acting training class?... Chick."

  He sneered:

"Don't be ridiculous. If the teachers in this kind of training class can be popular, you will be popular. Even if you want to be a teacher, you can take the teacher qualification certificate. According to the formal requirements of the college, graduate from graduate school and stay in school to teach Is it not good to go this way? I want to act, but I’m not popular. I want to teach, but I can’t even get a certificate. What kind of teaching should I teach? It’s nothing more than passing the exam.

  Our business is not dancing, or programming, or taekwondo fighting. We are performances, and the nature of the industry is different. If an actor wants to get formal training and improvement in acting skills, apart from a formal background in a major, he can only rely on his own understanding. What Kewu needs is talent, and if you have talent, you need to work harder to get it out... Your kind of thinking is not suitable. "

   "Then how do you know that Jiaojiao can't realize it?"

  Yang Mi rolled her eyes.

   But Xu Xin rolled his eyes even bigger:

"Nonsense, I'm a director, you're an actor. Everything you say is from the perspective of an actor. But as directors, our industry values ​​plasticity and extensibility more. This is the essential difference, okay? Just like Director Zhang, he only needs to see an actress, and people can tell whether this girl is suitable for acting, or whether she is suitable for playing his own play. Even, the most suitable development direction of this actor can be vague Judging it...it's an instinct in our business."

   "Why, actors can't be directors? You directed and acted yourself back then!"

   "Yes. There are many actors and directors, but how many people's works have you seen that can be remembered? It's not bad if you don't make bad movies..."

"you…"

   "Sister Mi... Brother Xu... Don't, don't... Don't do this..."

  Seeing that the two of them started to choke while talking, Zhang Jiao immediately felt a sense of guilt.

   Quickly persuaded me.

  Yang Mi stopped talking.

  Then pinched Xu Xin's cheek and said viciously:

   "Wait! You will be destroyed in a while!"

   "It hurts, hurts, hurts..."

   Zhang Jiao was speechless again.

  I tried to persuade you, who told you two to show your affection?

   But in the end, she still said:

   "Sister... I still want to be an actor, and I have already made a decision. It is not impulsive, nor is it because of drinking. So..."

   "How about you."

   Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yang Mi.

   "If you think about it, I support it... It just so happens that I also want to talk to you about this matter recently. I planned to talk to you in the next year, but now I will simply talk about it."

  She suddenly pointed at Xu Xin who was rubbing her face:

   "Jiaojiao, can you take care of him?"

"…ah?"

  Zhang Jiao was taken aback.

  I heard Yang Mi say:

"After the filming of this movie, your Brother Xu promised Director Zhang to go back to school to settle down for a while. That is to say, study hard and improve every day. And I have been worrying about what kind of assistant to find him. I have never passed me. I can't trust the person with the hand, I'm afraid I can't take good care of him...he is so easy to talk, can he understand what I mean?"

   "...Understood. Brother Xu is not very good at rejecting people."

   "????"

  Xu Xin was stunned:

   "I don't reject people!?"

  Yang Mi ignored him, just nodded slightly:

"During his return to school, next year is also the time when I will start to get busy. I originally said that Tingting should recruit an assistant in the first year, and come to my side for a while to observe. But now that you said so Already... I'll give you a plan. You, start following him from now on."

"I do not want!"

   When Xu Laoer, who had drunk too much, said this, he looked smug.

  Just said that I will not reject people?

   Now I refuse to show you!

pity…

  Yang Mi knows how to deal with him too well.

   "You are obedient and obedient. Only when someone takes care of you can I feel at ease... Don't make me worry, okay?"

   "..."

  Xu Xin was stunned...

"…All right."

   "Look~"

  The older sister who was still as gentle as water immediately changed her face.

   With a look of "you see, I have a way".

   "I rely on...you..."

   "I'll talk about it later."

   "???"

   Under Zhang Jiao's speechless eyes, Yang Mi said seriously:

"He is at school, and you go to school too. You attend your class, and he does his work. I know the classes at Beijing Film Academy, and they are not heavy. And he has to take the postgraduate entrance examination...so you will spend a lot of time together in the future. Resign, I don't approve. You start from the next year, go to be his assistant, and then go to Beijing Film Academy with your own ability. It's a work-study program...Of course, if you don't pass the exam...come back obediently. Next year I will manage my own company, artist image This also needs people. How?"

  Zhang Jiao was obviously confused by this kind of development.

  But in fact, what Yang Mi said was the truth.

  Zhang Jiao's clothes are very good.

   Both Shishi and Yifei agree with this point.

   And most importantly, she also likes this girl's taste in private servers.

   It is possible to find such an image assistant that suits me... Although it is not impossible, she has a lot of things to do every day, and she doesn't have the heart to look for it.

  The other thing is...

   This girl is very careful.

  She likes the meticulous energy.

   What's more, seeing the whole leopard at a glance, this girl can treat Zhao Liying like that, which shows that she has a conscience.

   Pretty good girl.

   Yang Mi was also reluctant to let go.

  Adding the observations during this period, "honest", "duty", and "smart".

  The scale is also very good.

  She felt relieved.

   But for Zhang Jiao, besides being flattered on the one hand, it is more of habitual thinking.

  So, she said subconsciously:

   "Can I...can you think about it?"

   But Yang Mi shook her head, seemingly calm but domineering:

   "No. Let's just settle this matter."

   After finishing speaking, she patted the table:

   "Let's just say this, it's getting late, go and rest. You... come with me."

  Xu Xin, who started to feel drowsy, raised his eyes...

"what?"

  Yang Mi nodded:

"Um."

   Zhang Jiao, who was confused by Sister Mi's strength, was instantly speechless...

this…

   Can this be explained in this way?

  She didn't quite understand.

   But she was shocked once again.

   Thanks to the leader of "Why isn't it a little padded jacket?" Checkout this month! I will never be in arrears, but the pressure on my hand is a bit heavy, and it hurts really badly, so let me slow down for a day or two. Thank you for your understanding and support! Thanks!
