I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 588 586. Movie things

   At the end of September, there was barely an uproar. Regarding the matter of Wang Sicong, after entering October, with the arrival of Golden Week, there was no sound at all.

  This may be one of the benefits of the Internet age.

  The timeliness of information is too fast, and there are too many things that can entertain people.

  These fragmented information are enough to wipe out all the so-called "black history".

   At least for now it seems so.

  During the National Day, everyone complained about which expressway was stuck in traffic, or which scenic spot was full. All kinds of information are flooding the eyes of netizens. Once the news of Wang Sicong is over, it doesn't even count as a fart.

  Generally speaking, the old Xu’s family doesn’t do much on National Day.

  After all, there are people everywhere, so for so many years...In Xu Xin's impression, even when he was in school, he was on National Day holidays, and at most he wandered around Shenmu.

   But this year is an exception.

  He went out of the house during National Day.

  I didn’t go to Xi’an, nor did I go back to Shenmu, but I went to Liaoning.

  No way, this period of time is too tossed.

   It belongs to Canada, Shanghai, and Yanjing.

  The child may have been a little angry recently due to frequent changes of water and soil, and his tongue coating is very thick.

   Seeing this, Yang Mi originally didn't intend to let her husband go for a trip, but in the end the responsibility fell on him.

  Gong Er's scene in the Northeast is going to be filmed, but she doesn't want to stay in a hotel.

   There are too many people, and it is not convenient to eat something by yourself.

  Xu Xin has to go to Jinzhou to rent a similar house.

  Based on Wang Jiawei's speed... and considering the roles of Gong Er and Yi Yi Tian, ​​it is estimated that it will take at least half a year.

  Wang Jiawei's filming speed and Xu Xin's has become numb.

  As an investor, what he understands is that in one year, the shots currently shot in the movie... take up one-third of the entire movie at most.

  When he heard the news, if Xu Xin hadn’t received the best reward in “The Grandmaster” from the very beginning, and Yang Mi’s “indifferent” attitude, he might have gone crazy.

  Even if he used ten heads to think about it, he couldn't figure out what kind of movie could be so slow.

   But anyway.

  As for the professional ethics of an actor and the respect for Wang Jiawei as a producer, since the filming has already started, there is no reason to give up halfway.

   Xu Xin arrived in Shenyang in a hurry.

   I checked my watch, it was 10:50.

  The timing is just right.

  He had just gotten into his commuter car when the phone rang.

   Glancing at the caller, he answered the call with a smile:

   "Hello, Brother Yang."

   "Director Xu, are you here yet?"

  Shen Xiaoyang's voice rang on the phone.

   "It's here, but... I don't know where this is..."

   "That's all right, we've made inquiries. Has Director Xu got off the plane?"

   "I'm all on the commuter car."

   "Huh? That's good, you can see me in a while."

   "Uh... good."

  Xu Xin wasn't too surprised when the phone hung up.

  This place is Mr. Benshan's territory.

  The phrase "out of Shanhaiguan, find Benshan if you have something to do" is definitely not a casual talk.

  Black, Ji does not mention.

   As far as Liaoning is concerned, he really has no problem at all.

   But the Northeast is quite cold.

  It's only October...

   He looked at the pale yellow outside, and muttered something in his heart.

  Then, the commuter car stopped and stopped all the way at the airport, and finally arrived in front of the terminal of Taoxian Airport.

  Before the car stopped, he had already seen Shen Xiaoyang, a slightly fat girl, and a strong-looking buddy coming to greet him.

  The commuter car stopped, just as Xu Xin got out of the car, Shen Xiaoyang smiled and stretched out his hand:

   "Director Xu, welcome to Shenyang!"

   "Haha, brother Yang, hello, hello."

   After Xu Xin said hello, he introduced to the side:

   "My assistant, Su Meng."

   "Hey, I've seen it."

   After Shen Xiaoyang finished speaking, he also began to introduce the two people next to him:

   "My love, Shen Chunyang."

   "Hello, sister-in-law."

   "Oh, Director Xu doesn't dare, he's too polite. Just call me Xiao Shen."

  Shen Chunyang quickly shook his head.

  Xu Xin smiled:

   "It's okay, everyone talks about it."

   Let go of Shen Chunyang's hand, and he stretched out his hand towards the strong-looking buddy:

"May…"

  Just as he was about to speak, this buddy bowed and bowed, clasping Xu Xin's hand with both hands:

   "Hello Director Xu, I'm Tian Wa. I'm brother Yang's junior."

   "Yes, we two are seniors. He will follow Director Xu for a few days."

   "Hello, hello, you have worked hard these few days."

   "Don't dare..."

  Tian Wa quickly shook his head, then trotted all the way and opened the door of the Rolls Royce parked in the parking space:

   "Director Xu, it's cold outside, shall we get in the car first?"

   "Yes, Director Xu, let Mengmeng ride with my assistant and the others. Everyone is waiting to meet Director Xu at mealtime."

   "That's OK."

  Hearing this, Xu Xin didn't hesitate and walked directly to Rolls-Royce.

  Tian Wa even helped him block his head when he got into the car.

   Then, Shen Xiaoyang sat in the back, Shen Chunyang sat in the co-pilot, Tian Wa drove, and the Rolls-Royce walked towards the outside of the airport.

   "What shall we eat?"

  Xu Xin was a little curious.

"Lu Mingchun is one of the three springs in Shenyang. It is a century-old brand. If you want to say that it is more high-end, Shenyang also has it. But hasn't Director Xu been to Shenyang often? Let's have some Liaoning specialties for today's meal. Some dishes are I got it from the kitchen in advance, so Director Xu will taste it later."

  Hearing this, Xu Xin asked:

   "Is there a chicken stand?"

"Well…"

   "I'm mainly curious about this taste. During the Olympics, I met a few project managers from the Northeast. They chatted together when they had nothing to do, and they always talked about it. I was curious about what it tasted like..."

   "This..."

  Shen Xiaoyang thought for a while, and said with some emotion:

"How to put it, Director Xu may not be used to eating it, because it doesn't have much meat, it just tastes like sloppy. But for us, it is a childhood memory, and it is also a habit. But Lu Mingchun has no chicken rack... Director Xu If you want to eat, I'll take you to try it after we finish the show tonight."

   "A gig?"

  Xu Xin was taken aback.

  Shen Xiaoyang nodded:

   "Yes, as soon as I heard that Director Xu is here, the brothers and sisters are doing a good job today."

   Now, Xu Xin came to his senses:

   "Liu Laogen's big stage?"

"right."

"Well…"

  After thinking about it, Xu Xin said tentatively:

   "Brother Yang, shall we go to Jinzhou tomorrow?"

   "No need to go to Jinzhou."

  Shen Xiaoyang said with a smile:

   "Didn't Director Xu come to find a house for Teacher Yang and the child?"

"right."

"You don't have to go so far for this matter. Master has prepared villas in Shenyang, Jinzhou, and Tieling. Someone brought photos and models of the villa households. Director Xu will know after a look, including you satisfy.

   I also arranged for two nannies, and prepared a special car and everything. Director Xu is relieved, we have all returned to our house, and we don't need to worry about anything. Whenever Mr. Yang comes and stays, he keeps everything clean and there is nothing wrong with it. "

   "..."

  Xu Xin's mouth twitched...

   Good guy...

  Just listening to these words, he really felt what it means to have hands and eyes open to the sky.

   "This...Mr. Benshan is too polite."

   "That's what I said~"

  Shen Xiaoyang shook his head:

   "Master also said, we are responsible for entertaining Director Xu. Otherwise, he will punish us when he comes back..."

  Zhao Benshan is not in the northeast this time.

   Instead, I went abroad for vacation.

  The day Xu Xin called, he had just arrived in Europe.

   He kept complaining that Xu Xin didn't call earlier, and he wouldn't leave if he called earlier.

  But there must be nothing wrong with this arrangement.

  Directly arrange three villas, with a nanny and a special car... The things are actually nothing, the key is this enthusiasm, Xu Xin really felt it.

  Nodding sincerely:

   "Then next time I see Teacher Benshan, I have to have a drink with him..."

   "Haha~"

  Laughing and joking all the way, when they arrived at the "hundred-year-old brand" Lu Mingchun that Shen Xiaoyang said, after entering the private room, Xu Xin saw familiar faces one by one.

  The reason why I say familiar is because... I have seen them all on TV.

  Whether it’s a sketch, or the TV series "Country Love", or "Liu Laogen", "Marshal Ma"...

   have seen.

  A dozen or so people.

  The appearance of welcoming Xu Xin is the same as welcoming a leader.

Then…

   There is no more.

  Is the food delicious?

  The answer is yes.

   Especially the stewed chicken...

  Xu Xin doesn't feel like a chicken no matter how much he eats.

  It's not that he hasn't eaten good food, whether it's off-the-ground free-range chickens, or Qingyuan chicken three yellow chickens and the like.

  But any chicken is not as good as this chicken.

  The taste is outrageous.

   It seems to be stewed with monosodium glutamate.

   Impressive.

   But what is more profound is the drinking capacity of this group of people...

   If you say companionship, that is true companionship.

  Holding what is said to be the purest Northeast sorghum-made sauce wine, a group of Siberian tigers fed the Northwest wolf...

  Anyway, when Xu Xin opened his eyes again, it was already dark.

   Still he was yelled by Shen Xiaoyang who didn't remember how much he drank at noon.

   Open your eyes...

  Where is the person, I don’t know.

   Following Shen Xiaoyang out, he realized that he was in a certain villa.

   Then, in a drowsy state, I sat in the car driven by Tianwa and came to a dumpling restaurant with unique decoration.

  This time, there was no one else, and I stopped drinking.

   But this big steamed dumpling really shocked his three views.

  A question...

   Mackerel stuffing.

  In order to entertain Xu Xin, they brought it from a place called... Bayiquan or Bayuquan early this morning. The freshest fish was chopped and stuffed to entertain him.

   After finishing two bowls of dumpling soup, a large plate of steamed dumplings and various dishes, Shen Xiaoyang took him to Liu Laogen's big stage together.

  As soon as I got off the car, the sound of ding ding dong dong gongs and drums sounded.

   A group of performers were dancing Yangko, dancing red silk, and wearing all kinds of exaggerated but festive clothes, standing on both sides of the red carpet to welcome him...

   "..."

  Xu Xin didn't know what to say anymore.

  He reckoned that Shen Xiaoyang probably didn't know about his social fear.

  Being greeted like this now, and surrounded by other audiences who came here to watch the performance, his scalp began to tingle.

   And the worst part is...

  The people on Liu Laogen's big stage even held a ceremony.

  The ritual of leaving handprints.

  Drunk, Xu Xin, who was full of mackerel stuffed dumplings and noodle soup, pressed his right hand into the mud, with a stiff smile on his face, blinded by the flashing light.

   also left his "footprint" on Liu Laogen's big stage.

  He understands that it is necessary for publicity, but this also proves the enthusiasm of others from the side.

  So he is kind and cooperative.

   He sat in the box all the way.

   In the private room, there are two fair-skinned and beautiful girls serving tea and water...

   Let me tell you something...

   Xu Xin suddenly felt that he was corrupt.

   What kind of life is this?

   I enjoyed it too much.

   After politely accepting the tea from a beautiful woman, Xu Xin heard Shen Xiaoyang say:

   "Director Xu, after the performance, shall we go try the chicken rack?"

   "Let's talk again."

  Xu Xin didn't pay much attention to it, and stared at the stage curiously, intending to experience an authentic duet.

  And Liu Laogen's actors also knew that Director Xu was present today, and each of them showed their unique skills. They came to the stage cleanly, and they all looked sweaty when they came off.

  Strong enough to sell.

  However, Xu Xin must also admit that Errenzhuan, as the mainstream entertainment method in Northeast China, does have a reason for its popularity.

There was a sitcom scene where a man and a woman played a part of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in Taoyuan, and the moment the soundtrack of "This worship~~loyalty to the liver~" appeared, Xu Xin also burst out laughing .

   After enjoying a performance, he went backstage again, just like the leader inspecting.

   A group of people took a group photo around him.

  In fact, Xu Xin can more or less understand the thoughts of these people.

   Just look at Deyun Society.

   These brothers and sisters are definitely not monolithic.

  No matter how capable Mr. Benshan is, he can't take care of everyone. So everyone wants to express themselves, or use a photo with themselves to add luster to their resume.

   Wanting to understand this, subconsciously, he looked at those faces, some familiar and some unfamiliar, and a doubt popped up in his mind.

   "When did I get to where I am today?"

  …

   "Director Xu."

   Coming out of Liu Laogen, Xu Xin just got into the car when Shen Xiaoyang said:

   "Shall we go eat chicken racks?"

"Well…"

   Xu Xin, who had already been fed with mackerel dumplings, patted his stomach with a smile:

   "Forget it. I'm not hungry now."

"this…"

  For some reason, upon hearing his answer, Shen Xiaoyang suddenly hesitated.

   But finally nodded:

   "Well, good. Then another day~... Director Xu won't leave tomorrow?"

   "Well... If there is nothing to do here, then I will go back tomorrow. Yang Mi is still in Yanjing."

  Originally, his plan this time was to stay in Shenyang for at most one meal, and then he was led by Mr. Benshan to Jinzhou to look for a house. After finding the house, he negotiated the price and so on, and went back after renting it.

   I didn't expect Mr. Benshan's enthusiasm to be far beyond imagination.

  Basically, it can be said... He doesn't need to come over, and things can be done. But the reason why Zhao Benshan also tacitly agreed that he wanted to come here was actually because he wanted to get closer.

   The relationship is there.

  So this trip to Shenyang is considered "dispensable", but the premise is that he has to come here.

   And now people are here, and the relationship has improved. If nothing happens, he plans to leave tomorrow.

  But after hearing this, Shen Xiaoyang hesitated again.

   "...Brother Yang, what's the matter? Are you looking for me?"

  Xu Xin asked in the not-so-authentic Northeast dialect.

  Shen Xiaoyang's hesitation looks quite strange.

  But Shen Xiaoyang shook his head:

   "No, it's fine. Let's go back to rest, shall we? Tianwa, go, go back."

"okay."

  Tian Wa responded, and drove the Rolls Royce back.

   Along the way, Xu Xin and Shen Xiaoyang chatted casually about "The Grandmaster".

   After entering this villa, Shen Xiaoyang got out of the car with him when the car came to the door.

  After getting out of the car, I heard Shen Xiaoyang say:

   "Then Director Xu can rest, Tian Wa, you can go back too."

   "What about you, brother?"

   "I'll come back too."

  Shen Xiaoyang took out a Cayenne key.

  It was only then that Xu Xin discovered that the Cayenne parked in the parking space of the villa belonged to Shen Xiaoyang.

   "I haven't driven the car all day, I'm hot. Tian Wa, let's go."

  Tian Wa glanced at Shen Xiaoyang, then at Xu Xin, and nodded:

"okay."

   "Remember to come early tomorrow morning, so as not to delay Director Xu's affairs."

   "Okay, Director Xu, then I will..."

   "Just come after nine o'clock. Thank you for your hard work, today."

  Xu Xin smiled and waved his hands, greeted Shen Xiaoyang again, and went straight into the villa.

  But he didn't go upstairs directly, but came to the living room of the villa and waited quietly.

   Sure enough, after waiting for about two minutes, the door was knocked again.

  He got up without any surprise and opened the door.

  Shen Xiaoyang greeted with a smile:

   "Director Xu."

   "Brother Yang, come in, it's cold outside."

   Seeing Xu Xin not surprised at all, Shen Xiaoyang was a little embarrassed, but still followed him in.

  Xu Xin looked around, took a disposable cup and poured two cups of water from the water dispenser, and then said:

   "Brother Yang, what's the matter? What's wrong? Let's talk about our relationship~"

   "Haha~ Director Xu's accent has changed quite quickly."

   Shen Xiaoyang made a joke. After sitting on the sofa, he didn't hide it, and said directly:

   "Actually... it's a friend of mine who wants to meet Director Xu."

   "Well, how to say?"

  He knew that Shen Xiaoyang must be looking for him for something, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately avoided Tian Wa.

   And after hearing the words "friends want to see me", I became even more curious.

  What friend?

   hide and hide.

   "Zhang Meng, has Director Xu heard of this person?"

   "...?"

  Xu Xin was taken aback.

  I vaguely feel that this name sounds familiar.

   "Director?"

  Hearing this, Shen Xiaoyang's eyes lit up:

   "Yes, yes, Director Xu knows him?"

"I have heard…"

  Xu Xin was thinking about it, and his memory began to roll.

   Rolling, rolling, rolling to the awards ceremony of the Golden Rooster Awards last year:

   "The movie Mr. Fan Wei acted in last year... the movie that was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award... what is it called? He directed it, right?"

   "Yes, yes, yes! That's him! "Blessed Ears"."

   "Yes, this is the movie."

   Now meeting someone, Xu Xin nodded:

"What's up with him?"

   "He... wants to meet Director Xu."

   "Uh, he is in Shenyang now?"

   "He is from Shenyang."

   After Shen Xiaoyang explained a sentence, he took the initiative to say:

   "Actually, that's why I hid from Tianwa just now...how can I put it. Do you know the relationship between my master and Uncle Fan?"

   "... you mean the deadlock thing?"

  The stalemate Xu Xin mentioned was actually last year.

  Last year’s Spring Festival Gala was also the time when Shen Xiaoyang’s "Not Bad Money" became popular all over the country.

   At that time, Zhao Benshan also had a TV series called "Mr. Kanto University", which he cooperated with Fan Wei. However, the TV series held a press conference, but Fan Wei was not seen. The reporter asked Zhao Benshan where Fan Wei had gone. Zhao Benshan's original words were:

   "After all, Fan Wei is well-off now, and his wrists are so big now. If he can come to act, it is like borrowing money. I have called him for a few days but he didn't answer."

  So, the news of the breakup between Fan Wei and Zhao Benshan came out.

  But no one knows what the real situation is, and Xu Xin only learned about this news from the Internet.

  When it was mentioned at this moment, Shen Xiaoyang nodded:

"Yes... I won't talk about the reason, after all, it involves my master. But the current situation is that the master is very angry with him, which leads to... our senior brothers dare not contact Uncle Fan. Then... Zhang Meng and I , after I came in, Uncle Fan taught me a lot of things. Later, he asked Uncle Fan to film, and we got to know each other that way.”

   After finishing speaking, he added:

   "We have a very good relationship."

   "But because of Teacher Fan Wei, you... right?"

"…Um."

  Shen Xiaoyang responded:

"Actually, master has no opinion on Zhang Meng. But... Director Xu, you know that my master has quite a lot of apprentices. If the master is willing to praise me, then... I must be worried about all aspects. So I don't want to let Others know that we are still in touch..."

  Hearing this, although Shen Xiaoyang said it cryptically, Xu Xin understood the meaning.

   Then asked:

   "Understood. Then... why did he ask me? Everyone is a director... I'm looking for a movie thing?"

   "Exactly."

  Shen Xiaoyang nodded:

   "It's about the movie."

   Here, I have the impression that "The Piano of the Piano" is an 11-year-old movie, and it is the same when I look at the materials. But when I checked the specific information today, I suddenly saw that "Wang" turned out to be the winner of the Tokyo Film Festival. The shooting time of this film was accidentally mixed up by me.

   So everyone, don’t hook up with the real timeline.
