I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

   Chapter 565 563. Freshmen

   "Ah!! Dad is back!"

   "Boom boom boom boom..."

  Xu Xin, who had just entered the door, heard a scream, followed by the sound of something...very solid hitting the floor tiles.

  Turning his head to look at the source of the direction, his daughter is like a...a little turtle with a 3.0T turbocharged engine, crawling towards him quickly.

  He quickly squatted down and picked up his daughter.

   "Ouch, this knee hurts so much~"

   Originally, I wanted to share the joy with the whole family when I entered the door, but it turned into a complaint.

  Yang Mi, who was following behind, rolled her eyes.

   "Why don't you wear knee pads?"

  He was speechless.

   But Yang Mi pointed to the wrinkled **** on the ground that looked like socks:

   "It's useless, your girl can fly now, and this thing has to be rubbed off in less than three minutes after wearing it on the knee... Okay, hurry up, let me have a look."

   "It's in the suitcase, take it yourself."

   "Then you wash your son's ass, just pull."

   It was a romantic thing at first, but in the end, a few words turned into a trivial life of the parents.

  The best director in Venice returned home and his **** was still warm, but the hot pocket of the little guy's **** brought him back to reality.

  In the past, I couldn’t understand why the old man said, “You’ll be dragged by a pile of **** and a piss”, but since he became a parent, he really understands.

  Nodding to Zhang Qian who was sitting on the sofa holding a bowl and didn't know what to drink, he picked up his son who had crawled a bit more quickly in the past few days, and walked to the bathroom with a sour smell.

  After coming out, Yang Mi naturally waited there with the bath towel and diapers for the child.

  The trophy is in Zhang Qian's hands.

"Sanjin."

"ah?"

   "Why is this thing not gold, but silver?"

   She looked curious.

  Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

   "It seems that the personal honor is given to silver, and then the film honor is given to gold... I guess that's what it means. I didn't ask for details~"

   "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

   She smiled and said:

   "My classmates and friends sent you congratulatory text messages the next day. You are really famous now!"

   "I've been famous for a long time."

  Xu Xin made a joke, sitting on the sofa, glanced at Zhang Qian's stomach, and asked curiously:

   "Have you checked? Boys and girls?"

"boy."

   "What about the name? Have you thought about it yet?"

   "Weian. Your brother thought about it, but the nickname hasn't been decided yet."

   "Yes, it sounds good... Where did Sanshui go?"

   "Modu, we are talking about land over there. It happens that you can find him when you go to Modu."

   After Zhang Qian finished speaking, she seemed to remember something, and continued:

   "Then your brother wants the two of you to be the spokespersons of the company. Isn't it popular now to invite celebrities to endorse to attract people who buy houses?"

  Hearing this, Xu Xin looked at Yang Mi.

  The young woman who was putting on diapers for her child said:

   "I didn't promise my brother... I think it's too high-profile, it's not good. Although there are people who know our relationship now, but not many. But if it's so high-profile..."

   "That's okay."

  After understanding her thoughts, Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

"I'll forget it, you can take it. Then we will see who we need to bring, and then we will digest the advertising resources ourselves. Our family is doing people's livelihood, and word of mouth is more important than anything else. If you come to represent them, it can be regarded as working for them. People add a curse.

  When thinking about what to do, first think about what it means to you as a spokesperson if something happens. And when it comes to you, Xu Miao doesn't need to show any affection. The good outweighs the bad. Our family is a developer and a property manager. If you come to be the spokesperson, as long as the quality of the project and the after-sales service are excellent, it will be of great help to you. "

   "...Together push myself out again?"

  Yang Mi couldn't laugh or cry.

  But my husband said so, so I agreed.

but…

   "Let me do it myself first, other people's words... take a step and see one step at a time. It's not good to give too much at once. It must be used as a reward to stimulate everyone's upward motivation."

"Um."

  Holding his daughter, he nodded in response and asked:

   "Where's our dad?"

   "Come back tomorrow, go to Nanzang to ask for a safe talisman for the child."

   "How did you get there? Driving?"

"Um."

   "Tsk, the old man is living in style these days."

  Hearing that he was a son who worked so hard outside, but ended up living so chicly as an old man, he was really envious... But at this moment, he has more important things to do.

   "Ahem."

  Suddenly, he coughed twice, and checked the time on his watch:

   "What's inside, I'm going to take a bath and rest for a while. The child must be sleepy too? You can take the child back later, and I'll hug them for a while."

"…Um."

  Yang Mi, who understood, immediately responded:

   "It's time to go to bed. Then you go~... I will carry the child back in a while."

  After the husband and wife finished their cryptic communication, Xu Xin nodded at Zhang Qian and went upstairs directly.

  As for Zhang Qian, she also sent off her little uncle with a smile.

   Turned his head and glanced at his... sister-in-law whose eyes were almost drawn.

   All of a sudden, she found the feeling of "the elder sister-in-law is the mother".

  My brother-in-law has grown up, and the feeling of knowing how to push cabbage arises spontaneously.

  So, she didn't puncture it, but continued:

   "Are you going to take the child up directly?"

   "No, I'll help him clean up these dirty clothes first."

  Yang Mi hurriedly pushed two large suitcases to the laundry room.

   About ten minutes later, as soon as the suitcase was emptied, I heard Zhang Qian at the door say:

   "Mimi, Uncle Yang and I are taking the children to go grocery shopping. Slip Zaizai and Niu Niu by the way."

   "...Huh? Okay."

  Yang Mi responded quickly, and then she pricked up her ears while removing the pair of sneakers for Xu Xin.

  When she heard the "bang" sound of the door, she dropped the work in hand without saying a word, took a few brisk steps and rushed upstairs.

  Just entering the bedroom, Xu Xin is wiping her hair with a towel around her waist.

  After seeing her coming in, he subconsciously asked:

   "Where's the child?"

   "My sister-in-law took me to buy vegetables... Hehehe..."

  The little young woman, who was panting so much that she was breathing out the dragon's breath, smiled happily, and stepped forward quickly, pulling his towel back and throwing it back!

   "Take it off you! Hehehe...hehehehe..."

   While laughing, she slapped Xu Xin with "PIA":

   "Go, lie down for my sister obediently!"

   "Hiss..."

  Xu Xin covered his waist with a look of grief and indignation.

   Then obediently lay down on the bed.

   Close your eyes.

  How can you get a tiger cub if you don't enter the tiger's den!

  Grandpa fights with you!

  …

   "I don't feel much after getting it."

  Hearing this, Yang Mi, who was lying on his chest listening to his heartbeat, said without even opening her eyes:

   "Yes, men are like this. I don't cherish it when I get it~"

   "...you are outrageous."

   "Hey~ okay, let me see if the child is back, come back and hug you?"

   "Aren't you going to sleep with me for a while?"

   "I'll cook something delicious for you~... Oh yes, we have to have dinner with Director Zheng and the others tomorrow, and the machine will be turned on the day after tomorrow, don't forget."

   "I know, I just go to school tomorrow morning."

  Looking greedily at the dressed wife, he looked over from head to toe, and then bowed under the quilt contentedly:

   "You get me some wet wipes."

   "Get out, wash up quickly, and put on your clothes. How can we wipe them clean with wet wipes?"

   "...you also played super-level today."

   "噫~"

  The little young woman looked disgusted:

   "It's already the best director in Venice, why are you still having **** with lesbians?"

  Xu Xin's eyes lit up:

   "Lesbian?"

   "..."

  The young woman who always felt that her husband was particularly flamboyant today tilted her head.

Neuropathy.

   Wait and see.

  In the future, when I sleep with Shishi, I will definitely not take you with me!

  …

   Zhang Qian came to Yanjing this time to raise a baby. After all, Shenmu didn't have such good conditions. Stay here in Yanjing until the birth, and then return to Shenmu after the birth.

  The business at home is also inseparable from her.

   During the time she was in Yanjing, Xu Daqiang had to go back to Shenmu.

   After all, September is almost October, and the peak season of coal is coming soon.

  No way, it’s like this when the business is big.

  Everyone is busy.

  For the old Xu family, coal is the basic market and the top priority.

  So, on the morning of the 17th, when Xu Xin got up and went downstairs, he saw the old man, who seemed darker than the last time he met, sitting on the sofa on the first floor, playing with his granddaughter and grandson with a smile.

   After seeing his son coming down, Xu Daqiang smiled and pointed at the necks of the two little guys:

   "Come on, look wow."

  Xu Xin went over to take a look and found that there was a red string hanging around Nuan Nuan's neck, and there was a round bead on the red string.

   "Dzi bead?"

"Yep."

  Xu Daqiang nodded:

   "Keep the two children safe."

  Actually, the water of Tianzhu is very deep, Xu Xin knows it. In the early years, it was very popular in Shenmu, and they were all invited from the southern Tibet to make offerings, in order to protect the safety of the mine.

   Not only Tianzhu, but also other land gods, Buddha statues... all kinds of safe things from Taoism and Buddhism can be seen.

   At first everyone thought it was really a meteorite.

  But after I found out that it was an agate bead, and the number of people who were deceived began to increase, so gradually no one bought it.

   There was even a thing called "gabala" that was popular for a while.

  It is the bones of those monks with profound cultivation...

  Xu Xinguang panicked even hearing the name.

   But mines are really rare.

  So I'm not new to this thing, and I didn't ask the old man how much it cost... How much does this thing cost.

   It's fine if you want it.

   "How many days do you live here?"

   "When the two of you leave, we'll go back to Shenmu. We're all getting into the car."

  Father and son still have short chats among parents.

   Soon, after Yang Mi's breakfast was ready, the family began to eat breakfast. After breakfast, Xu Xin drove to Beiying.

  Beiying’s school season has passed, and those freshmen who have been in military training for half a month have also changed into normal clothes.

  He went all the way to the training institute, and parked the car on the parking space that Yu Zhen got for him.

  Take out a mask from a box of new masks that Yang Mi bought for him, and while wearing it, he muttered:

   "Why is it still black?"

  It was only early 8 o'clock, and the opening ceremony at the movie theater was at 9:30 o'clock. He didn't go directly, but went straight to the teaching building in the university area.

  It is true that Teacher Yu guides graduate students, but more work is still done as the dean of the directing department.

   Along the way, no one recognized him because he was wearing a mask.

   "Safely" arrived at the teaching building, went upstairs, and knocked on Yu Zhen's office door.

"Enter."

  Hearing the voice inside, Xu Xin pushed open the door and took off his mask at the same time.

   "Hey, Teacher Yu."

   "Here we come."

  Seeing that it was Xu Xin, Yu Zhen smiled and waved.

   "What's the big director doing here?"

   "...can I say a mentoring job?"

  Yu Zhen simply rolled her eyes:

   "What are you blind and poor?"

   After speaking, he put a document on the table:

   "Here, see for yourself."

"Well…"

   Xu Xin walked over to take a look, only to find that there were some student materials on it.

  Tian Yusheng, male, Han nationality, born on March 16, 1983, graduated from the School of Drama in the 2005 middle school...

   At first, there was nothing wrong with it, but when I saw ""People on the Journey"" in the "Personal Works" column, Xu Xin was stunned:

   "The screenwriter of "On the Journey"?...Graduated in 2005? Are you just taking the postgraduate entrance examination now?"

"Um."

   Yu Zhen nodded:

   "Although I don't know the specific reason, it is true that he reported to me this year."

   "Should you be with my classmate?"

   "Yes. Because of Guo Fan and the others, I don't plan to bring too many people this year. For this year's graduate program, I will choose people who have actual film and television director experience. Counting you, I will bring four this year."

  Hearing this, Xu Xin turned another page.

   "Jin...Yukun?"

   "Nian Xin! XIN!"

  Yu Zhen was speechless in an instant.

   "Why can't you even recognize the words, a great director?"

   "…Oh, yes, yes."

   Xu Xin suddenly realized:

   "XZ's XIN. Come to think of it, it's just above Taiyuan..."

   As he spoke, he looked at the other person's resume, and found that this person turned out to be from Xi'an Local Station.

   "Local station? From a training class?"

   "Yes. In the 2008 advanced training class, his grades are not bad. In addition, I think he has work experience in Xi'an Film Studio and Xi'an TV, and he is very rich. Although his grades are not top-notch, I still want to come here."

  As soon as Yu Zhen said this, Xu Xin understood the meaning.

  This...how do I say it.

   In terms of teacher-student friendship, it is because the teacher's choice of students focuses on Northwesterners. But to put it a bit more biased, Xu Xin is helping her "establish a school", so her feedback is not the original intention of "nepotism".

  This child is from the Northwest, and has connections with Xiying Studio and Xi'an TV, so even if the grades are not top-notch, she is willing to take care of her.

  So he nodded and continued to scroll down:

   "Bi Gan... is GAN, right?"

   "..."

   Yu Zhen no longer wanted to talk to him and said directly:

"Shanying came out. I know his teacher. When he found out that he was applying for Beijing Film Academy, he called me. I took a look at the works he created in school...Although it is rough, it has a taste of Jia Zhangke. It's not bad...these three People’s grades are actually not top-notch, but they are all the kind of people who have their own ideas.”

   "Understood. All the brains will be thrown into "33 Days", right?"

   "..."

  Xu Xin said this very casually.

  But Yu Zhen felt it was weird.

  You just won the best director in Venice... Can you help the teacher to go through the back door so that it is not so obvious?

  Why does it taste so strange?

  But she didn't object, because the main reason why she found these three people was actually for Xu Xin.

  What Xiying Studio wants is a director with his own ideas, and what he wants is a young army worth cultivating.

  These three children, especially the last one named Bi Gan... She really thinks it is very good.

  Although there may not be enough commercial audiences...but then again. It is the biggest misunderstanding for a director to distinguish between commercial and art films from the beginning of his career.

  You want to shoot what suits you.

   Something that runs through your own train of thought.

  This is the meaning of the director being given a soul.

Therefore, compared to those whose resumes are perfect at first glance, but they are the same, not "shooting advertisements for XX charity organizations" or "what a rich XX school life", she values ​​people who match her temperament as a disciple .

   Not blindly, not blindly following.

independent thinking.

  And this kind of seedling seed, as long as it is placed in the right soil, it will definitely bear fruit... I dare not say it is beautiful, but at least it will have its own unique flowers.

   Then said:

   "Get in touch more. What I can teach is only academic things. The practice depends on themselves, and the character depends on others."

"I know."

  Xu Xin nodded again:

"Then I'll just take it away this time. Tomorrow I'll go to Shanghai and take the three of them with me. I just happen to have a touch with Guo Fan and the others... Let's make it a different kind of opening ceremony. Leave an assignment for me They're done."

  Before he finished speaking, Yu Zhen took out another piece of paper:

   "Here, you choose. One on each side."

  Xu Xin took a look, there were four topics on this piece of paper:

   "1. Dramatic Narrative and Social Portraits--Research on the Films of Director Xu Xin

  2. Research on the behind-the-scenes creative thinking of the director of "Thirty-Three Days of Broken Love"

  3, Postmodern Aesthetics of "Deviating from the Orthodoxy"--The Influence of Unique Social Views on the Psychology of Book Adaptation and Creation

  4, try to analyze the style and aesthetic characteristics of Director Xu Xin"

   "Teacher Yu... don't..."

  When he saw the words "director Xu Xin's film research" and "director Xu Xin's style and aesthetics", Xu Xin's scalp suddenly went numb.

  The first thing is the same as the rattle:

   "Don't...how can I hang out with everyone after this topic is out?"

   "You are a leader, not a companion, what are you doing?"

   Yu Zhen couldn't laugh or cry:

   "Don't you think that a director who can win the best director in Venice has no academic value worth studying?"

   "But... that... can't... at least not..."

   "What shouldn't be? Shouldn't the title be so explicit?"

   Yu Zhen continued to ask, tilting her head and looking at her proud disciple:

"Do you know the value of these four topics to other graduate students? You are by their side, and they can study you directly. The feedback of this kind of academic paper is authentic because you are by your side. Guess what, these three Putting people aside, what would Guo Fan and the others choose?"

   "..."

  Xu Xin was speechless.

   Seeing this, Yu Zhen directly drew two circles on these four topics with a pen.

"Just these two, 2 and 4. 2 You let Guo Fan and the others come, after all, they participated in the creation, and must have their own ideas on this. 4 Let Bi Gan and the others come, and they will definitely ask you when they get this topic , which also gives them a channel to get to know you."

   As she spoke, she looked up at Xu Xin...

  My disciple's face was already red up to the ears.

   Not to mention...

Quite cute.

  So, she continued to smile and said:

"Okay, don't have such a big psychological burden. You have to know that the meaning of these two academics is to deeply analyze what you may only be subconscious when creating, but can inspire others. Your aesthetic talent is top-notch , they may not be able to catch up. But as long as they can find themselves, this is the meaning of this academic proposition. They analyze you, not to please you. They want to get their own inspiration from your movies, strictly speaking , has nothing to do with you."

   "But...I analyze myself? You can tell them this topic, what should I do?"

"Well…"

  Hearing this, Yu Zhen pondered the truth.

  So he waved his hand:

   "Then stop writing and concentrate on making movies."

   One sentence saves a paper.

  The words are full of love.

"…okay."

  For a while, I didn't know that I should feel lucky, and I didn't have to write a thesis. Or is it unfortunate that Mr. Yu clearly regards himself as a "back door" student, and the gold plating is over...

  In short, Xu Xin has one less paper to write.

   And it was almost time now, holding the materials at hand, she stood up:

   "Let's go, go to the movie theater."

"OK."

  Xu Xin nodded and followed her out.

   “How does it feel to win an award?”

   "Yesterday, Yang Mi and I were still discussing. I said that I was quite nervous before I took it, but after I took it, I felt that it was meaningless..."

  The two picked up this trip to Venice and started chatting.

   And when Xu Xin said that she hadn’t watched any movies except domestic ones because of the language barrier, Yu Zhen was a little speechless.

  My disciple... is really weird.

   You said he can't do anything... Hey, he just broke the age record for the best director in Venice.

   You say he is a genius...he can't even tell the difference between Jin and Xin.

   English is even more shit.

but…

  Xu Xin's biggest advantage is actually here.

"I got along very well with my interpreter this time, and it has been agreed. When I come back from Canada to take wedding photos, she will start tutoring me in English. She is from a language school and teaches those who want to go abroad. People who can quickly master oral English and so on...I will work harder and strive to communicate fluently in half a year or a year, and then rely on the amount of words to pile up...Next time at the film festival, at least I can understand it!"

look.

  After discovering one's own defects, people know to make up for them.

   Yu Zhen looked relieved.

   While the two were talking, they had already walked out of the teaching building.

   At this time, there were freshmen walking to the playground one after another.

  Xu Xin probably took a look...

   "I feel that there are quite a lot of beautiful girls."

   "The source of students this year is really good... Oh yes, that Nazha is now the school girl."

   "Yo? Reviewed?"

"Well, it belongs to the kind of crushing. 10 girls, 9 of them together are not as tall as her own. And I heard from Director Cui of the acting department that this child knows how to work hard. She is on the first day of freshman registration. I met her in the library. I took it easy and checked her borrowed books, it seems that she knows how to put her heart into it."

  Following Yu Zhen's words, Xu Xin felt at ease:

"That's fine. Beauty is a weapon, but many people don't know how to use it. As long as she knows how to use it, no matter what her future achievements are, at least the starting point is much higher than others. You know that child's fate, it is very bitter, little What she experienced at a young age, as long as she is willing to work hard, her experience will be her sharpest weapon and spiritual support in the future..."

  The two were talking, when suddenly, two girls walked over from the dormitory.

   "Hello, Director Yu... ah? Xu... Xu... Xu..."

  Yang Zi, who originally wanted to say hello to Yu Zhen, was stunned when he saw the face of the handsome young man next to him.

   "Hello, Teacher Yu, and Brother Xu."

  At this time, Nazha's voice sounded.

  Xu Xin moved his ears.

  Listening to the title she called, she looked at the dull girl next to her.

  Xia Xue?

  Looking at the expression on Xia Xue's face in "Family with Children", he took another look at the beautiful and fair Nazha.

   seemed to understand something, suddenly smiled and nodded:

   "Your sister told me yesterday that she wanted to call you over for dinner yesterday, but something was delayed. When we come back from Canada, tell your sister what you want to eat in advance, and she will make it for you."

   While Nazana was trying to suppress the joy in her eyes and the somewhat "guilty" emotion, Xu Xin said this with a smile, which directly stunned Yang Zi.

  Nazha...Meet Director Xu! ?

   And listen to this tone...

   Seems very close?

  ? ? ? ?

  Yu Zhen, who knew more about the situation than Yang Zi, saw Nazha's expression in her eyes, and chuckled softly in her heart:

   "Ha, smart little girl."
