I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

   Chapter 566 564. Tianzhu

   "Go, it's almost time, let's go to the opening ceremony."

   After saying what "should be said", Xu Xin waved his hand.

  After seeing off Nazha and Yang Zi with a sluggish face, she just walked forward for about five or six steps when she heard Yu Zhen say:

   "That kid is pretty smart."

"Um."

   He responded, recalling the first time he met this girl.

   let out a sigh full of emotion:

   "The world is unpredictable."

   "Mimi intends to sign her?"

"Well, that's not clear. If you want to sign, you can sign. Anyway, the company also needs people. You don't know? We invested in a drama club, which specializes in comedies. It's called "Happy Twist". After signing it, put it inside. Go down first, and perform dramas and stage plays. Once you have solidified your basic skills, you can lift it up..."

  Before he finished speaking, Yu Zhen understood what he meant.

   showed a rather agreeable expression:

"This idea is very good. Close contact with the audience can improve the actor's acting skills. What people who specialize in comedy need most is to understand life in the city. One of the essences of comedy is to create A sense of gap.

   To interpret this sense of gap, the actors themselves need to understand and understand the truest appearance of the objects they need to perform. And if young actors can practice "observation", it will be of great help to their future film and television career. "

   "That's right. So the two of us knew from people around us that this drama club wanted us to invest and promote them, so we did it directly."

   "What about the scouting system? Is it perfect?"

   "This...to be honest, I don't know either."

  Xu Xin smiled and shook his head:

   "I am not in charge of the company's affairs, she is supporting it."

   "You..."

   Yu Zhen shook her head helplessly:

"It's really a blessing for several lifetimes to find such a good wife. She takes care of your food and clothing, and guarantees your independence as a director in artistic creation. You have to treat her better, and you can't do anything wrong for her, you know? "

   "... Teacher Yu."

"Um?"

"Why do I always feel that you are not at ease with me. You see, it was okay before the Olympics, and you said the same to me on the day I returned to school. Take care of yourself and sit upright... now Too…"

  Xu Xin looked at his mentor with doubts in his eyes:

   "Are you so worried about me?"

   "It's not that I don't worry about you."

  Yu Zhen shook her head, walked towards the entrance of the theater, and said with some emotion:

"It's because I don't trust everyone, it's just that other people are not worthy of my opening my mouth...Xu Xin, you have won one of the top three best directors. If "The Hawthorn Tree" can sell well, then... say you He is the last appealing person of the younger generation, almost a sure thing.

  But you are too young, you know?

   Full of uncertainty.

   Besides, this circle... changes every year. What was the circle like when I first started working? And what is the circle like now? This change is terrifying~”

   As she spoke, she began to scratch her fingers:

   "Fame and wealth, women's sex, power and wealth, status...

   Throughout the ages, I don’t know how many heroes have bent their waists on this.

  You think you have eaten and seen a lot.

   But you have never seen or heard more things.

Just like when we are in the lost stage of creation, what we can rely on is our unswerving belief after we understand ourselves. When you lose the "big desire" that can really stimulate you to be desperate, or the share of survival When the time comes to face this world of mortals, the only thing that can restrict you is the moral law in your heart.

  So it is a good thing that people often say these things to you. It's like a wall that you often put a handful of dust on, and it makes sense to pour a ladle of water on it.

  It will not bring you any burden, on the contrary, it will make your home stronger.

  The sage Confucius also said, “Three self-examinations, a scholar is committed to the Tao.”

  A gentleman succeeds in nothing but four lines: writing, conduct, loyalty, and faith.

  A teacher would rather smear these words on you several times, and the ink smudges annoy you, than no one tells you and you slowly ignore it. "

  Having not seen her disciple for several months, seeing him go higher and higher, Yu Zhen's words became more serious.

  If others say this, they may not be qualified.

   But she is Xu Xin's teacher.

  One of the duties of a teacher is to teach.

   This seed was planted by her.

   She expects him to grow into a towering tree more than anyone else.

   Therefore, the trunk must not be crooked.

   Xu Xin nodded vigorously.

  Although he didn't know what Teacher Yu was thinking, what he said was definitely for his own good.

   Then you have to listen.

  …

   After a while, the two also came to the theater.

  The teacher and the student separated.

  Xu Xin entered the small auditorium in the movie theater, while Yu Zhen, as a teacher, will appear on the stage of the auditorium in a while.

  He put the mask back on.

  In fact, just like what Yu Zhen said, all the young woman's concern for him was left in the details.

  For example, the mask on his face now.

  Usually his masks are white, the kind of masks that look thinner when worn.

  It’s still summer, black masks absorb heat, logically speaking, you shouldn’t buy this.

   But today is a special day.

  The little young woman felt that her brother had just returned to China with the award of the best director, so he must have a lot of momentum, and he was more attention-grabbing.

   Today is the opening ceremony again, if he wears a white mask and sits under the auditorium, it will be even more eye-catching.

  It is not that Yang Mi has never been to the movie theater. Many students rehearse plays here on weekdays. Whether it's the lighting or the layout, she knows it all.

  For the opening ceremony, the lights must not be as dim as the performance. If you wear a white mask, it will be even more eye-catching.

  So change it to a black one. As long as he sits back, as long as there is no spotlight on him, the color of the mask is absolutely inconspicuous, and he will not receive so much attention. Moreover, when the teacher leader on the stage was speaking, it was not appropriate to see someone wearing a white mask.

   appears impolite.

  But the black mask and the back seat basically avoid this situation. So I specially prepared a new box for you.

   Lo and behold, these are details.

   But Yang Mi didn't say anything at all.

  She is like a pool of gentle water, wrapping her beloved man tightly. Although occasionally the water will be sticky, and I can draw a map or something. But more time, it moistens all things without fighting, flowing quietly, as gentle as a song.

   As expected, Xu Xin also chose the corner position in the back row.

   Not next to anyone, sitting in the corner watching the empty stage and waiting for the opening ceremony to start.

  He lowered his head, swiped through Weibo, and began to read the latest domestic "Hawthorn Tree" news.

   And the news of "The Hawthorn Tree" has indeed been swiping the screens of Weibo and the entertainment sections of various media magazines these days. Even after the Venice Film Festival is over, the enthusiasm is still there.

  The trailer released by Xiying Studio and some stills came out, and a slogan was called "the purest love".

  Using this heat to start publicity.

  Because the popularity was too high, even the other films that participated in the selection could not hold their heads up.

   Neither "Sword Rain" nor "Tongtian Empire" saw any splashes.

  He brushed about it for a while, from the expectations of the fans to the speculation and evaluation of the media, etc. After getting a good understanding, the whole small auditorium also became noisy.

  Most of the people who came here were freshmen, old and young, chatting with acquaintances here with their own visions.

   There are not many people, and the seats are relatively scattered.

  He put away his phone.

   For him, "The Hawthorn Tree" is almost a thing of the past.

   Even say something exaggerated. With a total investment of less than 20 million yuan, this kind of publicity scale really pays off with eyes closed.

   And whether the box office is good or bad after paying back the cost is a matter of money.

  His interest is not great.

  Headwind accounted for 30% of the investment in this drama.

  Even if the profit is 100 million, it is nothing more than 3,000 yuan. He is worried about the box office... He really can't think of how anyone would do it for such a small amount of money... cough cough.

   Forget it, it is easy to be scolded if you say it.

   Still not mentioning it.

   At this time, he heard the chatting of the few people in front:

   "Eh? Do you think Xu Xin will come today?"

  Xu Xin's ears perked up.

   "Come on, I just won the best director. It's only been 2 days. I guess I haven't returned to China yet."

   "That is, people need to attend the freshman ceremony?"

   "Okay... I actually want to transfer to Teacher Yu Zhen..."

   "You can think about it, if she doesn't want you, our mentor will feel cold about you."

   "Tsk... I'm done. But my partner will come up next year, and I can ask her to report to the teacher. Can Xu Xin, who is high or low, give me some care?"

   "Take care of letting your partner write papers for others?"

   "Isn't that stupid? He still needs to write a thesis? Do you think people are like us..."

   "I'm so happy...Graduate students don't have to write a thesis, what else in the world is happier than this?"

   Several people were chatting there, and Xu Xin behind him had a strange expression.

  Brother, your guess is quite accurate...

  From some perspectives, it seems that there is nothing happier than graduate students not having to write a thesis.

  With a proud sense of superiority rising in his heart, he leaned back on the seat and raised his legs with a smile.

   Well, comfortable.

  …

  The opening ceremony did not last long.

  It took a total of one hour.

  After the opening ceremony, Xu Xin received a text message from Yu Zhen asking him to go to the research room.

  After coming all the way to the subject room, he saw three students from the same batch as him.

  Tian Yusheng, Bi Gan, Xin Yukun.

  He just showed up, without taking off his mask, Tian Yusheng got up first:

   "Hi, Director Xu."

  Although this guy is from 1983, he looks handsome and his tone is very polite.

  Xu Xin smiled and shook hands with him:

   "You can just call me Xu Xin. Hello, you are all brothers in the same school, so don't be so polite."

  Wearing glasses, Bi Gan, who was slightly fat and slightly dull, and Xin Yukun, who smiled politely and was full of sophistication at first glance, both nodded.

  As soon as Xu Xin finished speaking, the door behind him opened.

  He didn't have time to move, and the door panel hit his heels.

   With a "boom", Yu Zhen looked at him speechlessly:

   "Why? Be a door god?"

   "No, don't we know each other?"

  Xu Xin quickly stepped aside.

   And Yu Zhen nodded:

"Well, since we all know each other, let's skip the mutual introduction link, and you will leave a contact information for each other later. Although it is not my style to arrange courses when you are not used to it, but the time just happened to catch up up."

   As she spoke, she walked to the small blackboard and wrote down a line:

   "Try to analyze the style and aesthetic characteristics of Director Xu Xin"

   "This is your topic this time...Xu Xin, why are you blushing?"

  Following her words, the three of them looked at Xu Xin who was at a loss beside him at the same time...

   Being stared at by the three of them, Xu Xin groaned a few times and said:

   "Rejuvenated?"

   "Poof..."

  Before Yu Zhen spoke, Bi Gan seemed to know what he meant, and burst out laughing.

   But immediately felt something was wrong, and quickly lowered his head.

   Yu Zhen shook her head helplessly:

   "Okay, this is the subject of the three of you. I have nothing else to do today. Go back and pack your things... When are you leaving?"

"tomorrow."

   "How to get there? Is the air ticket paid for by me or reported from the crew?"

"…private plane."

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

  Bi Gan raised his head again, his face full of "What?" in disbelief.

  Xu Xin silently lowered her head...

   Teacher Yu's expression is about to eat people.

"well…"

   Yu Zhen shook her head helplessly:

"That's it. Your seniors are in Shanghai right now, and the three of you will go to Shanghai with him tomorrow. He has a movie "Thirty-Three Days of Broken Relationship" to start shooting, and this is your subject. Do you still need me to take care of the next thing?"

   "No, I will do the operation."

"Okay, let's put it this way. For reference, you can go to the school net to look up the literature on lens aesthetics, and go to the library to borrow it. This paper is one of the indicators for this semester, and it depends on the quality of the paper in the end." .Time...unlimited. But at the end of the term, I have to submit a thesis result. My class doesn’t require you to help me with research papers, and it’s relatively easy, but you just have to remember one thing. That is, don’t be fooled. It can be seen, let's talk about the ugly front."

   Yu Zhen, who is a typical "trouble-saving" mentor personality, waved her hand directly after speaking:

"Okay, let's put it this way. As for the next treatment issue, and some things you don't understand, you can ask him or your senior brothers and sisters in the magic city... Oh yes, I forgot to tell you. "

  Looking at the three people, she said word by word:

"When he filmed "The Hawthorn Tree", your brothers were the executive directors. Oda and Yukun, both of you have a lot of experience in the industry, and you have even made some achievements yourself. Then I can talk to everyone more. Exchange. As for Bi Gan, you don’t have to feel inferior. After all, you are the only one who is a freshman. Even Xu Xin has a wealth of work experience. So learn and research in a down-to-earth manner, understand? "

   "Understood, Teacher Yu."

   Bi Gan nodded.

   "Well, okay, that's it for today, let's disband... Oh yes, Xu Xin, the ashtray is in the cabinet, clean it up when you leave."

  He arrived in a hurry and stayed for less than ten minutes before leaving in a cool manner.

   Teacher Yu is so handsome.

   After she left, the three looked at Xu Xin at the same time:

   "Xu...Director Xu, we will..."

  Looking at Xin Yukun, Xu Xin smiled and said:

   "Let's leave a call and I'll send someone to pick you up from school. How about it?"

   As he spoke, he began to smoke.

   Then I started rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find the ashtray that the teacher said.

  Xin Yukun held the cigarette, glanced at Tian Yusheng, then at Bi Gan who didn’t smoke, but took it anyway, and continued to ask:

   “What kind of movie are we going to be in…?”

   "Urban romance. There was a novel that was very popular on the Internet in the past two years, and it was called "Thirty-Three Days of Broken Love". You can go back and read the novel. It is available online. I will find a place to call you the script later..."

   While talking, he found an ashtray in the showcase.

   There is also a set of tea sets and half-cake tea leaves put together with the ashtray.

  The tea leaves Xu Xin knew at a glance, it was definitely given by the young woman.

  He recognized the packaging of Lao Banzhang.

  Take out this set of things, he said with a smile:

   "Aren't you in a hurry to leave? Shall we have a pot of tea?"

  The three of them also knew that Mr. Yu's last sentence made it clear that everyone was here to enhance their relationship.

  Although...the three of them feel strange to have "equal communication" with this great director who just won the best director in Venice.

   Obviously feel that he is far away from me...

  But the cigarette in my hand was issued by others, and the tea set and ashtray were also taken out by others...

   is ridiculous.

   But no one refused.

  After all... it is the teacher.

  If it's normal... want to have a pot of tea with Director Xu?

   Tut.

  What is your status?

   Do you drink tea with others?

  Thus, Tian Yusheng, who reacted the fastest, immediately locked the pure water bucket next to the bucket and the kettle next to the bucket:

   "I'll boil the water."

  Xin Yukun smiled and nodded, and began to tidy up the table full of project materials.

   Both of them started to work.

   Bi Gan looked around...

   Take the broom and mop directly behind the door.

   But didn't move, but put it aside.

   Subtext: Let me do the final cleaning.

  Xu Xin took a look and was amused.

  Haha, okay, they are all wonderful people.

  Thus, the cigarettes were placed and the tea was brewed. Although the next two years will not be accompanied day and night, it can also be said that the four people who share weal and woe sit at the table, and the parents have short stories and strengthen their relationship.

  Accompanied by the smooth return of tobacco and Laobanzhang, it’s not a novelty, but it’s better than a relaxed and natural tea party, and that’s how it started.

  …

  After lunch, Xu Xin got in the car and left alone.

good.

  None of the three students had that weird personality, and they really talked a lot during this simple tea party.

  From personal work experience to some style issues of the film, etc., there are all kinds of jokes and some persistence and differences related to academics and shooting concepts.

   Generally speaking, it is very comfortable.

  Back home, the family had a happy lunch, and when the child woke up in the afternoon, the family set off for Shijia Hutong.

  On the Shijia Hutong side, the five decoration teams have spent more than half a year and have completed the renovation of the main buildings of the three yards.

   Now start the interior decoration, as well as the outside landscape arrangement.

  Strive to finish all the decorations before the end of October, and then start the soft decoration.

All the furniture and home appliances at home have been bought long ago. Xu Daqiang rented a warehouse in the suburbs of Beijing. For the furniture that needs to be smelly, as well as such as plasterboard, doors and windows, cabinet panels, etc., they are all put in the warehouse in advance. .

   It has been scattered for more than half a year. When the soft decoration starts, I directly pull it over for decoration. After it is installed, I can actually move in.

  And all furniture is still mostly solid wood and leather.

  But for the sake of the children, if you want to move in, you still have to wait for the heating to be turned on for a year this year to diffuse the formaldehyde.

  So it is time to move in after the year.

   And Xu Xin went straight to his work area after entering the door.

   After seeing that there is nothing wrong with whether it is a screening room, a cigar bar, or a variety of leisure and entertainment places, I am completely satisfied.

  The place is big, the three courtyards add up to nearly 2,000 square meters, so you can get what you want.

   Enough for him and his friends to "splash".

   After watching the decoration, the time is almost up, and the family parted.

  He and Yang Mi took Sun Ting straight to Qinchuan Yashe.

  The filming of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" will start tomorrow, and we will have a meal today, and everyone will get together again.

   It wasn’t too early for the two of them to arrive. When they came, Zheng Xiaolong and the crew had already arrived.

   "Director Zheng."

   "Haha, Director Xu."

   "Don't, don't, just call me Xiao Xu."

  Xu Xin hurriedly gave a polite expression.

  But this time, Zheng Xiaolong didn't force it, but smiled and nodded:

   "Drink two more glasses tonight, this is a wedding wine."

  Xu Xin was taken aback for a moment, then asked with a smile:

"who?"

   "Your chant. I won the best director in Venice, isn't it worth having a wedding?"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

  Including Xu Xin, several people laughed heartily.

   And at this moment, the door was pushed open.

  Wearing in black, Liang Bingning walked in while taking off her sun hat:

   "I heard a lot of noise at the door, what are you talking about?"

  Following her words, the eyes of everyone in the room fell on her.

Then…

  Yang Mi's mouth twitched...

   His eyes were full of weirdness.

  The reason for this expression is also very simple.

   Today's Sister Bing Bing is still dressed in an alluring manner, regardless of her clothing.

  If this is the case alone, it won't make her like this.

  She just noticed the pendant on Sister Bingbing's neck.

  A long dzi bead...

  It is strung on a string of maroon red, and it is known at a glance that it has been played for a long time on the small Vajra Bodhi.

   "..."

  She subconsciously looked at Xu Xin.

   Then I saw Xu Xin's hearty smile:

   "Sister Bing Bing."

  He greeted him kindly and naturally.

   It's like seeing nothing.

   Come back, come back. Let's go!
