I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 1037 1032. Good thing

"Brother Cong, there are currently no topics about Director Zhang on the hot search list."

After hearing what Apple said, Xu Xin took another look at the time of the screenshot that Brother Seven sent to Lao Wang.

The mobile phone shows 10:03 a.m. in China time.

The time now is 6:08 pm in Los Angeles.

In other words, Brother Seven also sent it to Lao Wang after seeing it.

As for He Jun’s Weibo time: 9:45 in the morning.

Less than half an hour had passed before and after this incident.

It’s normal not to be trending.

but……

If this matter is not dealt with in time, it will be abnormal if it is not trending!

So, he immediately dialed his wife's phone number.

"Dududu...hey. What's wrong?"

Yang Mi's side sounded a little noisy.

But after a "bang", the voice became quiet again.

"Where are you."

"The company is having a meeting. Just tell me, boss, what instructions do you have? Make sure to complete the task!"

As soon as he heard Yang Mi's relaxed tone, Xu Xin knew that she might not know the news yet.

So he said directly:

"Look at WeChat now, Lao Wang, and send the picture to her."

Wang Sicong nodded and started operating.

Yang Mi was still stunned at first, wondering what was going on, but when she saw the picture on WeChat, she was stunned.

There was silence on the phone for about seven or eight seconds, and she said:

"Is this He Jun the niece of Zhang Weiping's assistant?"

"!"

After hearing his wife's words, Xu Xin suddenly remembered.

No.

"Is she the one who was in "Jinling" and was eliminated?"

"Yes, weren't you in charge of this matter at the time? The only two connections in "Jinling" were her and the other was the mistress of a real estate boss..."

After Yang Mi finished speaking, she knew that the meeting could not be held temporarily, so she opened the door again and said to the people in the conference room:

"You can play freely first and wait for me for ten minutes."

After saying that, he walked directly to the office and said to his husband as he walked:

"How do you want to handle this matter?"

She didn't ask Duan Duan why he did this, or what happened to Director Zhang and Zhang Weiping.

No need.

Now that something has happened, the Internet is not without memory. Now it is better to think about the cause and stop the loss quickly.

In fact, Xu Xin has been thinking about this matter at this moment.

The first reaction that came to his mind was:

"Can you find someone to delete this Weibo post of hers?"

But when he asked the question, he realized that it was unrealistic.

because……

"It's totally useless. If you delete it, others can repost it. What's more, if you add something... Why did you delete my post on Weibo? Doesn't it make us feel guilty?"

What Yang Mi said was something he realized after asking the question.

Yang Mi also walked to the office.

Her computer was on, and she was reading Weibo on her computer just before the meeting. So I just clicked on the search box, first searched for "He Jun" and then "Zhang Yimou".

Then I saw He Jun’s Weibo content.

"Less than half an hour after He Jun posted this message, it has already been retweeted more than 7,000 times... Husband, this data is not normal. She is a young actress with less than 30,000 fans, no matter how earth-shattering a Weibo post she posted, Nor would it have been retweeted more than 7,000 times in less than half an hour.”

After saying that, she switched to the "Zhang Yimou" page.

As expected, in the chronological order, except for a small amount of news from people who eat melons, the rest are accounts from some entertainment media.

Yang Mi randomly clicked on one and found that there were about 70,000 to 80,000 fans.

It is an entertainment self-media that is extremely small.

but……

She rolled the wheel, scanned it in a circle, and continued to say to Xu Xin:

"Someone must have informed these small self-media in advance that there was a big melon in He Jun's Weibo, and the time they forwarded it was within fifteen minutes after the Weibo was posted. And... now there is a topic."

"What topic?"

" # Zhang Yimou was born # ......"

"..."

Xu Xin's brows furrowed at first.

But he immediately let go.

He said:

"To be honest, it should be nothing."

"Yeah, I think so."

Yang Mi responded:

"You did it so low-key, and the country also has a bill to protect citizens' privacy. Even if you are a public figure, as long as you pay the fine legally, it is in compliance with the rules and procedures. The fine has been paid and the household registration has been registered. Who really wants to do it by then? If you use this as an argument, the worst case scenario is to publish the evidence. The processing date is there, it is legal and compliant, and besides, the second child will be released immediately, and those who should be punished will be punished. Who can say anything? It is not a sinful thing. . At best, it’s just media hype for a period of time.”

"Um."

Obviously, at this time, the couple's thinking is highly overlapping.

To put it bluntly, when Xu Xin learned about this incident, he realized that this situation might occur in the future and made preparations in advance.

So, after gradually calming down while chatting with his wife, he discovered...

It's actually not a big deal.

In other words, it has little impact on the old man.

The old man's role in this matter is not that he married someone else and then had three children with another person. Nor is he someone who knows the law and breaks it, refuses to pay the fine, or refuses to admit his mistake.

Yes, when the three children were born, the old man had not yet married Aunt Ting.

In fact, if you really want to say it, the media may amplify this point.

There's nothing else to say...

An internationally renowned director does not mess with the relationship between men and women.

Even if you have more than one child, you still have to pay the fine for the child, and then get the marriage certificate honestly.

There just wasn't a wedding.

It's definitely not a big problem.

only……

"This matter is most likely the fault of Zhang Weiping."

You said it was a coincidence or not, Yang Mi said as if she had read his mind.

"Um."

Xu Xin responded:

"No need to think about it, it must be him. Because the photo of He Jun is the photo on Aunt Ting's old ID card. I have seen the procedures I sent you."

"Tsk."

Yang Mi smashes her mouth:

"It's so disgusting."

"Don't worry about whether it's disgusting or not. I'll call the old man and see what his attitude is. You go about your business first."

"Well... why don't you ask Sister Mo first? Director Zhang, don't rush to fight."

"Both sides will definitely ask. Just leave it alone."

"Well, then I won't be looking for anyone on Weibo either?"

"good."

Toot.

The phone hangs up.

Xu Xin heard what Lao Wang said:

“Director Zhang’s topic is indeed highly forwarded, and many people are discussing it now.”

"What did you say?"

"Actually, it's nothing... Some people think that Director Zhang and Gong Li are married. Some people are asking who is Director Zhang's current wife. They probably think that Aunt Ting is the mistress. Some people also say that it is not very good to have an illegitimate child in the entertainment industry. It's normal...the words are actually not too unpleasant, but more people ask who Director Zhang's current wife is. Some people also ask if Zhang Mo, who got married some time ago, is not Director Zhang's child. Why does this happen again? indivual……"

Hearing this, Xu Xin nodded slightly:

"This is nothing. This matter is slowly fermenting, and the old man's emotional experiences over the years will definitely be revealed."

"That's true. We are not some fish with no right to speak and are slaughtered by others. It is difficult for others to pursue the truth. But it is quite simple for us to want everyone to know the truth."

Frankly speaking, what Lao Wang said is a bit of a generalization.

But the truth is indeed correct at all.

The truth is sometimes a very simple thing.

But pursuing or clarifying it is the most difficult thing for ordinary people.

Isn't there a saying that spreads rumors and clarifies them?

That's what it means.

Xu Xin had even foreseen that many unscrupulous media would begin to smear and spread rumors about this matter.

However, Lao Wang is right.

Fortunately, they are not "ordinary people". There is a certain right of public discourse. It is not difficult to clarify the truth or even stop these rumors and slanders.

Following Lao Wang's reminder, Xu Xin, who knew what he had to do first, dialed Zhang Mo's phone number.

"Dudu...dudu...hello?"

The movement on Zhang Mo's side was accompanied by a burst of loud music.

"Where are you?"

"Tennessee. Hey, have you been to Tennessee? The country music bars here are really exciting."

"..."

Xu Xin was speechless for a while.

The enemy is already at your doorstep, but you still want to play in Tennessee?

By the way, where did Tennessee come from? I have never heard of such a city in the United States.

But he didn't hesitate, after all, business was more important.

So he said:

"Please find a quiet place first, and I'll tell you something."

No need to ask, Zhang Mo must not know that this happened only half an hour ago.

"Ah? Okay, wait a moment."

Following a burst of noise, about five or six seconds later, Zhang Mo also stopped.

"I came out of the bar, you tell me."

"Look at WeChat, I've already sent you the matter."

"alright, please wait."

And this wait, after about ten seconds, there was a sound:

"Fucking this wolf-hearted thing!"

Zhang Mo started to curse.

"This Jun He is the one inside, the one inside the inside..."

"Sister, you have to change these words. Calm down first."

Xu Xin quickly stopped her.

Zhang Mo was stunned...only then did he realize his gaffe.

But luckily she was in a country bar and club at the moment. If it were in a big city like New York or Los Angeles, it would be really hard to say.

"call……"

After taking a deep breath, she said:

"He Jun belongs to Zhang Weiping. She is Wang Xiaohua's niece. Wang Xiaohua is Zhang Weiping's assistant..."

"Well, I know. But it has happened now. Let me tell you my thoughts first."

"...Well, you say."

"You can make a call to the old man later. I guess he won't know about it for the time being. Talk to him first, and then ask him what his opinion is. In addition, Wang Sicong and I were still talking about this matter just now. This matter must be on the Internet. I can’t hide it any more, and Yang Mi said that her Weibo reposts were retweeted more than 7,000 times within ten minutes, which shows that this incident was premeditated. It was not an unintentional remark..."

"Can I delete the post?"

After hearing Zhang Mo's words, Xu Xin knew that her first reaction was the same as his own.

So he explained:

"It's useless to delete the post. What's more, we just have a good relationship on Weibo, but they are not our Ma Zai. Besides, since this matter has been spread, there is no point in deleting the post. But don't worry, old man This procedure with Aunt Ting will not cause any problems if it is broken. It is reasonable, reasonable and legal.

First, all our procedures are in accordance with laws and regulations, and there are no illegal operations.

Second, even if some media think that we are operating behind closed doors and secretly registering, there is no need to be afraid. Because after I started the second-child pilot program in Yanjing, at the time of the national census, the country issued regulations that only a census was conducted, and those who were not on the household registration were also checked, and those who should be listed on the household registration, and the information was sealed, absolutely not Citizens’ privacy will be exposed. This is a clear rule and no one can fake it.

Third, the old man and Aunt Ting are now legally married, and the fine for the child's birth has been fully paid. Although the fine of several million is an astronomical figure, according to regulations, we have already paid it in full. The old man did not mess with the relationship between men and women, and there was no moral problem. It is the choice of the old man and Aunt Ting to raise children without getting married. This does not constitute a loss of personal ethics. Now after the fine is paid, the three children are legal citizens and there is nothing inappropriate about them. So, you tell the old man not to worry, there is no problem. The roads were all paved back then.

Finally, I now ask Yang Mi to start building a team of lawyers. Start paying close attention to the trends on the Internet. Any media that spreads rumors or slanders will send a lawyer's letter as soon as possible. If the lawyer's letter can't shut them up, then go directly to judicial proceedings. The old man is a public figure, and the compensation for reputational damage is a large sum of money. Many people may just be quick to talk, and they are absolutely unwilling to bear the financial losses, so this matter can definitely be contained.

See what I mean? "

Zhang Mo didn't understand clearly and didn't mention it.

Wang Sicong, who was holding a cigarette and listening to the two chatting, was sighing with emotion.

actually……

He didn't know about Director Zhang's children.

Or rather, I just found out.

In the past, I only knew that Director Zhang and Ms. Chen Ting had three children, and that they were an old husband and a young wife.

But these three children had actually been undercover, and Lao Xu had applied for the household registration... This was the first time he knew.

He's not stupid.

Not stupid either.

Be obedient and listen to the sound.

Following Lao Xu's words, he was unconsciously thinking about some of the causal relationships behind this matter.

But when Lao Xu's words about "family planning" and "census" appeared, he suddenly realized...

Lao Xu must have been planning this for a long time when he first did it.

Just waiting for a "big trend".

Following the general trend, the weather, location, people and people were all taken advantage of.

That is to say...

When Lao Xu first did this, he had already noticed something was wrong and was worried that this matter would be exposed. Therefore, he did everything properly and did not leave any room for comment.

this……

Oh shit.

Is this the value of four hundred tricks?

Are you ready to catch up with dragon fruit?

Tsk tsk tsk...

Zhang Mo naturally had no objection either.

In other words, Xu Xin has always been the backbone of this matter, from the initial handling to the current "issue".

As long as you listen to him, there will definitely be nothing wrong with you.

So he said directly:

"Okay, then I will..."

"Call the old man and tell him about this. Let's see what his opinion is. And... have you already sued Zhang Weiping?"

"Yes, we sued... uh..."

Suddenly, she realized something and fell into silence.

Wang Sicong also glanced at Xu Xin.

"Then let's carry it out to the end. Compensate when it's time to pay, and liquidate when it's time to settle. There's nothing more to say about this kind of thing. I guess Zhang Weiping thought that Yidian and the others were still gangsters, and thought that this would make the old man angry... When he took the child too When someone is involved, the matter cannot be left alone.”

Xu Xin didn't say anything like "I told you before that Zhang Weiping is prone to jumping over the wall in a hurry. Look, I was right."

No need.

And now that this situation has occurred, there is nothing to say.

Go to the end.

But Zhang Mo's side obviously has some... how to put it.

Guilty?

Or embarrassing.

But he didn’t say much, he just said:

"Okay, I'll tell him right now."

"Yeah. I'll talk to Yang Mi here."

The phone hangs up.

Xu Xin heard Wang Sicong ask:

"Did you help the old man find someone to handle the matter of having a baby?"

"Um."

Xu Xin nodded, and while editing the information for Yang Mi, he roughly recounted the whole story.

But he didn't say who his father found or what price he paid.

It's hard to talk about this kind of thing, although he believes that Lao Wang is tight-lipped. But if someone doesn't guard the door and spreads the news, it will be bad in the end.

But the problem is... If he doesn't tell, Wang Sicong will guess by himself.

Everyone has known Lao Xu for five or six years, so how could they not be clear about what Lao Xu has been like along the way?

He thought with his toes and knew that Lao Xu could play such a big game of chess quietly, and after everything was ready, the census came... This kind of chess move and layout was started in advance. , if the chessboard is too small, it will be a pity for him.

"Tsk..."

When Yang Mi replied, "I know, I'll have someone form a legal team right away," Wang Sicong smacked his lips.

I wanted to say something with emotion.

But at this moment, a phone call came in.

Not Zhang Mo.

But Zhang Yimou.

Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, then answered the phone:

"Hello?"

"Hey, isn't it already night over there? You haven't gone to bed yet?"

The old man's voice sounded steady, upright and peaceful.

Xu Xinxin said that this old man of yours is quite practical.

So I made a joke:

"It's as if you can sleep."

"I definitely can't sleep. It's only around ten o'clock. I woke up after eight o'clock. How can I possibly sleep?"

"...?"

Now, Xu Xin was really confused.

no.

Why is this old man so thoughtful?

Are you really just like a normal person?

So, he asked directly:

"Didn't I ask Sister Mo to call me after she finished chatting with you? Why are you here?"

"I didn't let her hit me."

Zhang Yimou, who was opposite, still had no anger in his voice, but instead said with a smile:

"Did she and Dan Qing drink in a bar in Tennessee? After drinking, people are not clear-headed, and it is easy for problems to occur when communicating in the middle. If you are confused, you will do something stupid again. So there is no need for her."

“…Tennessee is a state?”

"..."

"..."

Don't say this to Zhang Yimou opposite.

Wang Sicong was speechless.

It's a shame you're not an American.

Otherwise, if you walk on the street, you won't be beaten to death?

"You...sigh."

Zhang Yimou sighed:

"You're already a Ph.D., why are you still so ignorant? Tennessee, Nashville, the holy land of country music. You said... why do you always look like you are ignorant to others? I'm just a super student, what the hell are you doing? If it’s not good, I will be accused of academic fraud in the future.”

"That's not possible. In the movie field, everyone comes to BATTLE. Who is afraid of whom?"

After Xu Xin finished speaking, seeing him mentioning this matter himself, he quickly said:

"Then what do you think now?"

"I'm quite happy."

"ha?"

"ah?"

An old tune repeated.

Wang Sicong was confused again.

Originally a silent listener, he couldn't help but speak up, thinking he had heard wrongly.

However, the old man seemed not to hear his movement and said:

"I'm really happy now."

"……why?"

"Because in the following time, I can pick up my children from school openly, go out to eat with Chen Ting, and Chen Ting has photos of me in her Weibo posts for the children's birthdays, and we can walk in the sunshine openly. , isn’t it good?”

"..."

"..."

"..."

At this time, the few people sitting around the swimming pool fell silent in the last glow of the darkening sky.

Xu Xin had no idea, but he never expected that the old man would have such an attitude.

He thought...even if the old man wasn't angry, he must be feeling uncomfortable.

He had even been thinking about how to kill Zhang Weiping.

But he really didn't expect that the old man would be so... counterintuitive.

And in the silence, he heard Zhang Yimou's rhetorical question:

"You think I'll be angry?"

"Um."

Xu Xin, who came back to his senses, responded:

"You should be angry. Haven't you read Weibo? He Jun directly posted Aunt Ting's photo, and also used the picture of the photo on the photocopy of the ID card. I even planned to Find someone to throw her in. Is that okay if citizens’ privacy is exposed at will by you?”

"do not do that."

Unexpectedly, after hearing Xu Xin's idea, Zhang Yimou immediately rejected it.

"I can understand your anger, but for me, I am quite grateful to her. Let Chen Ting and the children see the light of day again. Momo apologized to me on the phone just now. What she said may be because of her She was too impulsive and caused trouble. I told her, this is not trouble, this is a good thing. For so many years, a boy and others have all wanted to take photos with me, and even when their classmates and teachers started chatting about me, they didn’t dare They opened their mouths and said that I was their father. But it’s different now. Although I haven’t told Chen Ting yet, I believe that she must be very happy. I’m not angry, but I should thank her."

"..."

His words directly burned Xu Xin's CPU.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

"This...that...I...you...uh..."

"Haha~"

After hearing his stuttering voice, Zhang Yimou's smiling words rang out again:

"Okay, it's nothing. If everyone wants to know what's going on, I just told Momo, so let me tell you the whole story. I will provide them with whatever procedures they want to see. The matter has been clarified , if you are innocent, then everything will be fine. Are you right?"

"...You want to clarify?"

"Yeah. If you take the initiative to clarify, you won't cause trouble to your father's friends, right? After clarifying... Phew."

Xu Xin heard a sigh of relief.

"When are you going back to China? Let's have dinner together and take some photos. Chen Ting has a lot of wonderful family and family moments saved on her phone, and she can post them on Weibo for everyone to see."

"..."

this……

Fine.

In fact, this seems to be the character of an old man.

He doesn't like to argue with others.

I don't like to cause trouble either.

Although this time it was still someone else who was full of malice, but the other party didn't know that everything had been prepared in advance.

But what the fire is lighting now is just an illusion.

After the shell of illusion fades away, what remains is the joy of seeing light in the heart.

From now on, the old man can travel with the whole family without any worries.

Aunt Ting can openly share her life in Moments or Weibo and tell everyone how outstanding her children are.

Even Yi Nan, Yi Ding and Yi Jiao can openly tell their classmates that my father is the famous director Zhang Yimou.

Um?

Don't tell me yet.

This is indeed a good thing.

Great thing.

…

"What my dad means is that he leaves all business matters to me and doesn't care. Now even Aunt Ting and the children can walk in the sun. From now on, he will no longer have any fear of seeing the light. stuff. From now on, he will only be responsible for making movies, and leave the rest to me. So, I will continue to ask for the money, and follow the procedures how to do it. But he will not let me post the clarification on Weibo, he wants Say it to the audience yourself. So..."

"So, that's it."

Xu Xin followed:

"If the old people don't pursue the case, how can we young people hold it accountable?"

"Uh...okay."

Zhang Mo seemed to want to say something else.

But after hearing Xu Xin's words, he just responded in the end.

Afterwards, Xu Xin hung up the phone.

But in the night wind, Wang Sicong asked:

"Is this really the case?"

"How is that possible?"

Xu Xin shook his head:

"The reason why I told her to forget it is because she is now managing the old man's company. Although as the daughter and manager, it is natural for her to recover the film remuneration owed by New Picture. But when we talked before, I advised her and said that this matter must be handled carefully. She obviously did not expect that the other party would reach this point this time, and suffered a dumb loss... If you suffer a loss, you have to grow up, so I will not give her this time Wipe your ass.”

Wang Sicong nodded.

Um.

This makes sense.

After all, having a father and a mother is not as good as having it in your own hands.

but……

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I can't actually do anything. After all, I can't just destroy him humanely, right?"

Xu Xin shrugged, lit a cigarette, picked up his phone and sent a voice message to Yang Mi:

"Ni Ni, have you still contacted me?"

After saying that, he turned off his phone, leaned on the beach chair and sneered:

“Without the new picture of the old man, it’s time to sweep it into the dustbin of history.”

"Tsk."

The eldest young master sighed with emotion when he saw this.

The familiar Xu Gou is back.
