I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 1042 1037. Wait and see (Happy New Year!)

After finishing the meal, Xu Xinren drifted away.

When Xiaolong, the newly adopted godson of Brother Qian'er, was sent back in a daze, he smoked in the wind and vomited twice.

During the second half of the meal, Brother Qianer showed off his power.

Kill him to the point of defeat.

He drank more than a kilogram and a half before vomiting two mouthfuls. He was considered diligent and thrifty.

When I got home, I saw my wife in a daze with a complaining look on her face, as if she was mumbling something like "Why are you so drunk?"

And the only thing he could do was to shut that bitch's mouth with practical actions.

After a big pop, I had the impression that my wife also vomited.

Oops, never mind.

sleep.

No. 27.

He woke up in a daze, grabbed the water glass someone placed on the bedside, filled a large teapot with a slurp, and then rushed to the bathroom.

When I came out again, except for a little drifting when walking, there was nothing wrong with me.

October was coming to an end, and when he came to the living room with nothing to do, he found that there was no one at home.

I don’t know what they were doing.

On the table is a bowl of millet porridge warmed in a small casserole, as well as some side dishes.

After taking a few bites, he made himself tea and poured it directly on the sofa.

There are several WeChat messages on my phone.

When I opened it, I saw several messages from Ye Jun about shooting ideas, as well as a message from Wang Sicong.

""Run, Brother" premiere ratings. CSM50 city network ratings: 1.808. Ranking: 1. Ratings share: 3.92. CSM national network ratings: 0.83. Ranking: 1. Market share: 2.63"

Xu Xin nodded slightly.

Um.

good.

Lao Wang has put so much effort into this program, and this result is undoubtedly satisfactory.

As traditional TV ratings are impacted by various online on-demand broadcasts, it is no longer possible to achieve ratings of 10 or 20 percent in the early years, ranking first in the country.

It is an indisputable fact that for current TV programs, if the first broadcast exceeds 0.5, it is good, and if the first broadcast exceeds 1, it is excellent.

Not to mention anything else, even the ratings of "The Voice" are severely depressed.

But since Tencent bought the online broadcast of "The Voice", "The Voice" has become their first variety show with over 100 million clicks since its inception.

The rapid development of one industry will naturally cause the market shrinkage of another industry.

Therefore, in fact, the reference ratings are no longer as valuable as they were originally.

Nowadays, whether a program is good or not depends on its network broadcast rate.

Brackets: True play rate.

But no matter how you say it, being able to be ranked first in the country, especially for the premiere, is a high-quality recognition for a program.

"Run" got off to a good start.

After replying "666", he directly opened Weibo.

I habitually scanned the hot search list, and then I discovered that the topic # "Running Brothers" launch # appeared at the fifth hot search list.

This time I was really surprised.

Can this be a hot search?

While he was thinking about it, Wang Sicong suddenly replied with a message:

"Hurry and repost this on Weibo, the hot search time is coming soon."

? ? ?

Xu Xin was stunned again.

It’s hot search time?

He seemed to realize something and typed directly:

"Did we make this trending search ourselves? Didn't it come from netizens?"

"That's right. Hurry up and repost my Weibo to expand the publicity."

This hot search was actually bought?

With a bit of absurdity, he first found Wang Sicong's Weibo post celebrating the launch of "Running Man", then switched back to WeChat and continued:

"How did you buy it? Did Weibo give it to you alone?"

It seems like this hot search cannot be bought or sold, right?

I have never heard of this business.

Soon, Wang Sicong replied:

"No, I left the promotion of "Running Man" to Yang Tianzhen. I didn't ask how it was done in detail, but it did become a hot search."

"..."

Seeing this sentence, Xu Xin's first reaction was that Yang Tianzhen was really a genius in publicity.

After all, they are elite soldiers who came out from Sister Bingbing's hands.

These few things, whether it was the premiere of "Fierce" or the kind of thing she did to open a movie Weibo account and post behind-the-scenes clips, etc...

It always gets a lot of attention.

What a fucking talent.

However, his intuition told him that everything has advantages and disadvantages.

Since some things can be spent, it often means... they are no longer controllable.

But he couldn't say this, and it seemed like everyone was drunk and I was alone.

After thinking about it, I could only give myself and Lao Wang a reminder:

"Since she has a way, others must also have a way. You have to be careful what you do in the future. Good things can be publicized, but if there is any trouble, you are afraid that others will add fuel to the fire."

Wang Sicong's response to this message was just an "OK" gesture.

I don’t know if I heard it or not.

Xu Xin didn't say much, and just followed this hot search to look at topics related to "Running Man".

I found that the person with the most topics was Kun Ling.

In fact, this is normal.

Although when faced with the paparazzi's questioning, Wheel said, "We'll talk about it after we take the photos." But in fact, during this period, especially after the concert, Chinese people living in Japan often said that they saw Jay Chou.

But the photo was blurry, so it was never acknowledged.

But this kind of thing... will definitely become clearer as Kun Ling and Lun Lun go to the vocal teacher who corrects their pronunciation more and more times.

This is inevitable.

What's more... there are rumors of an affair between Lun Lun and Kun Ling, and here "Running Man" has Kun Ling as the female host.

The meaning of being a drunkard is too obvious.

Therefore, it is normal for her topic to be highly discussed.

Some people have even started to compare her with Patty.

It's generally acknowledged that Wheels likes sweet girls.

For so many years, his scandals and gossips with Patty, Jolin Tsai, etc. have not stopped.

Therefore, as soon as this new generation of "Girls of the Week" came out and was fueled by hot searches, the topic became quite popular.

As for the others, Xu Xin didn't pay much attention.

I only saw sporadic topics such as "Shaobing is quite funny, hahahaha." and "I'm laughing so hard, this guy named Shen Teng".

It shows that the audience quite recognizes it.

Approval is enough, so are the ratings. Although the network broadcasters haven’t understood it yet, it’s obviously not going to be bad.

Tianlai... can be regarded as launching another successful variety show.

Advertising revenue isn’t bad either.

This career can be considered a huge step forward.

It's a pity that he considers himself a person with no sense of variety shows. He has lived in seclusion for so many years, and when faced with Lao Wang's invitation of "Why don't you go up and have fun?", he directly refused.

Otherwise, just relying on Mr. Xu's status as "Yang Mi's husband", maybe he can create a ratings myth.

With a bit of joking in mind, after eating and drinking, he lay down on the sofa and began to enjoy his rare leisure time.

While I was watching videos, I suddenly saw a Weibo post that had just been posted for 4 minutes.

"Just now, Yang Mi appeared at the announcement of the movie "I Want to Be Good With You". Da Mi Mi is so stunningly beautiful!"

?

Xu Xin was stunned.

Movie promotion scene?

My wife is...going to announce Shishi?

Looking at the daughter-in-law who is dressed in ordinary clothes, taking off her cap and mask in front of the camera, and Concubine Shi with a surprise expression...

"Help, what kind of miraculous friendship is this between Yang Mi and Liu Zhishi? Liu Zhishi's movie "I Want to Be Good with You" was announced in Wuhan, and Damimi, who was still in Yanjing, came to help her friend..."

Um?

My wife is actually in Wuhan?

Suddenly, he felt sour.

I sent a message directly to my wife:

"Are you in Wuhan?"

"How do you know? Are you awake? There is food on the table, remember to eat."

"Have you gone to Wuhan to promote poetry?"

"I'm going to the Magic City today. Isn't this a good way?"

"? Passing by Wuhan from Yanjing to Shanghai? Your geography teacher taught you geography?"

After he sent this message, Yang Mi responded by transferring 10,000 yuan to him.

Just when Xu Xin looked at the transfer and wondered why she was transferring money to him...

"Take this money and treat your friends to a meal and go out for fun. Didn't you take a fancy to a bag last time? Let's buy it when I get back. For your friend's birthday party on November 13th, you will drive my car. go."

? ? ? ? ?

Xu Xin was confused immediately.

no……

Why does this rhetoric sound so familiar?

For a moment, he thought he was a child again.

Occasionally when I go home, the aunts will always hear the old man muttering after being looked down upon and treated coldly by him: "Ah, my child is not sensible. Come on, let's go shopping and buy you a bag..."

Although the words are different, the meanings are highly similar, right?

"What do you think I am?"

Snapped!

Another ten thousand.

"Oh, this WeChat is so annoying. The maximum transfer is 10,000. What's in it? I transferred 200,000 to your bank card."

Seeing this, Xu Xin was completely furious:

"What I want is your two hundred thousand? What I want is companionship! It's emotional value!"

This time, Yang Mi turned off the engine.

Xu Xin showed a proud smile.

You are competing with me about Jiajia and you want to compete with me about green tea?

Hum.

Just as he was feeling proud, suddenly the phone rang.

When he saw it was Lao Lang calling, he answered the call directly:

"Hey, what's up? Are you back?"

Lao Lang’s focus this year is charity.

I spent most of the year performing charity performances in schools for disabled children and some charitable organizations around the world.

Very busy.

However, he took advantage of his position to snatch Gina away.

It’s not lonely either.

At best it's an abuse of power.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Lao Lang hesitated...

"Well……"

"What's wrong?"

"Where are you?"

"Where's home?"

"Would you like to go out for a drink?"

"No, I drank too much last night, so I just sobered up."

After saying that, he glanced at the time, which was nearly 11 o'clock.

Why are you asking yourself to drink at this time?

Could it be...

"Gina and you had a fight?"

He thought the old wolf was depressed.

If that's the case, then don't worry about whether it's uncomfortable or not. When my brother is in trouble, you have to be there for him.

Listen to him complain.

Have fun.

Nothing else.

What? Are you asking about breaking up?

Impossible.

In the past two days, Lin Gou and the two of them in the group were arguing about who was the most affectionate in the Northeast.

The fight was in full swing.

If a breakup happened at this time, wouldn't it mean that relatives would hate each other and enemies would be happy?

Who knows...

"We're both fine. Just... don't quarrel with Dami. You know better and don't act petty all the time. Don't regard other people's tolerance for you as capital for your willfulness."

"WTF?"

Xu Xin was stunned.

"Did she call you?"

"Yes, you two are doing well, did you hear that? I even charged her 10,000 yuan. No one can find such a good person like Dami even with a lantern. You know something, don't you know? Si I don’t know how to do it day by day...I quickly admitted my mistake and went out to drink at night. I was busy and died."

Toot.

The phone hangs up.

The blood in Xu Xin's heart almost turned into a river.

OK OK.

Is that how you play?

"What do you mean? Our business is our business! What do you mean by looking for my friend? I tell you, what I want is not money! It's your people! Why did you go to Wuhan to accompany her when I needed you? mean?"

Yang Mi sent a [/sweating] expression.

Seems a little impatient:

"Why are you so irrational?"

"I'm unreasonable? Okay! Then I'm unreasonable! Let me tell you, Yang, don't talk about reason, the law, the law, and the king's law are useless!"

Yang Mi paused for about seven or eight seconds before replying.

"Okay, okay, since the donor doesn't know the principles, the poor monk also knows some boxing skills..."

Xu Xin suddenly looked disgusted.

Have fun, why did you start throwing sand?

Do you want to bury Tai?

"Let me tell you, Yang, with my young master's physique, if you punch me, you will immediately kneel down and beg me not to die. Do you believe it?"

Yang Mi stopped replying at all.

After scrolling through Weibo a few times, he saw that the news from his wife was like a tidal wave of mud falling into the sea, and he had a proud smile on his face.

After being married for many years, he understood her best.

He usually has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, but he doesn't want to suffer losses.

But once I run out of words or find that I can't explain it, I immediately pretend to be dead. Then when I have figured out how to reply, I will argue with you again. But when the novelty wears off, I usually don’t bother to deal with it. Then she would declare victory with a proud look on her face.

Tsk.

It’s just self-deception.

This victory was won by me, Lao Xu!

So, he gave a step:

"Whose birthday party do you think you are attending next month?"

This time, Yang Mi replied instantly:

"Huang Xiaoming's. November 13th. The day before we go to the Maldives."

"I want to go? Isn't it just once in so many years?"

"This time, he called specifically to say that he wanted to prepare a surprise for Yang Ying. I guess good things are about to happen for these two people. Let's go and join in the fun."

"But you didn't just cut off Yang Ying's resources..."

"It's not that close, I'm going after him. Besides, she doesn't know that I cut off her resources."

"……All right."

He agreed.

…

Shishi’s new movie is scheduled to be released on November 2nd.

As for what the finished film will look like, he hasn't seen it.

However, since it can be shortlisted for Silk Road, it means that at least there is no problem with the story of this film.

Because the works included in Silk Road have an eternal core, and the most basic requirement is that the films submitted for review should not engage in specious or metaphysical things.

The movies that are sent in must first tell a clear story.

If you can't even tell the story well... either you should just go back to filming commercials or MTV.

As for the box office...

Just kidding, Shi Guifei doesn’t rely on box office to survive at all.

Whether the box office is good or not, as long as she wants to film, she will always have the resources.

But it's a bit of a pity.

Originally, I wanted to share the emperor's worries and send the seventeenth-year-old Fat Fairy to the frontier first, and then give him a glass of poisonous wine when he came back. However, Lao Shiqi was not fooled and kept sitting in the capital as a stable prince.

Tsk.

With a bit of regret, Xu Xin went to the appointment alone, promising, "You two will be obedient, and dad will come back to bring you delicious food."

"I'm so happy today~ I'll treat you to some chicken, old wolf..."

Humming a tuneless tune, we arrived at a Japanese-style izakaya in Langlangding.

He glanced at the so-called OMAKASE kitchen and followed the waiter's lead into the private room.

In the past two years, there has been a wave of high-end Japanese-style izakayas in Yanjing. These izakayas are like dog piss, blowing everywhere overnight.

But he had eaten this thing two years earlier.

What impressed me most was the shop opened by the apprentice of the tempura god.

It is said that there is a particularly famous Internet article author named the Third Young Master of the Tang family who has also been there.

But it should be said that he only ate Japanese food, and he didn't know why Lao Lang had to come here.

Oh, yes, it seems that the first time I met Sister Bingbing was in an izakaya.

Ah this...

Is it possible that we will meet some "new friends" tonight?

With some vague thoughts in his mind, he walked into the private room and saw the old wolf holding a mobile phone and clicking it for no idea what he was doing.

Sitting directly opposite, he asked:

"Who are you talking to?"

"Gina, complain that Korean food tastes bad."

Xu Xin was unhappy when he heard this:

"This is not a complaint, isn't it the truth?"

Lang Lang rolled his eyes.

If he really marries Gina, he will be the son-in-law of Germany and Han. This is very heartbreaking to say.

"You didn't call anyone else?"

"No, Lin Gou went to shoot an advertisement, and Lao Wang went to Shanghai..."

"Lao Wang is in the Magic City?"

Xu Xin was stunned.

Lang Lang nodded:

"Yes, I went with Brother Qi. I guess he was busy with the wedding, right?"

"Well……"

Xu Xin's mouth moved, but in the end he said nothing.

This kind of thing must either be said by Lao Wang himself or wait for three months.

It would definitely be inappropriate if it came out of his mouth.

So he nodded and picked up the menu to see what he wanted to eat.

As a result, Lang Lang stopped him:

"What are you looking at? Just speculate on one."

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

Okay, every time you come to the izakaya, you have to mention this incident to me, right?

In the playful eyes of his friend, Xu Xin suddenly looked at the waiter who walked in.

OK, I'll satisfy you.

"Beauty, here you go. Fry a copy."

"..."

"..."

This time it was Lang Lang and the waiter's turn to be confused.

Xu Xin smiled proudly.

Do you think I can't cure you anymore?

Of course, this is also a joke.

The actual situation is that after the two of them ordered some sashimi and a few special dishes, they ordered a bottle of Daiginjo and chatted over flowers.

Lang Lang's work this year is almost done.

November is coming soon, and November 18th is Lao Wang’s wedding. After the wedding, everyone made an appointment to spend some time in the Maldives, and after the long day, it will be almost Christmas.

Christmas is right next to the Spring Festival.

You can enjoy this vacation for a long time.

When he returned to Yanjing this time, he planned to stay with his family for a few days, and then made an appointment with Gina to go to Russia.

Let’s go for a walk while it’s just snowing in Russia but before winter completely sets in.

Fly directly from there to the Maldives on the 15th.

Xu Xin looked envious when he heard this.

He is really busy this year...

When he heard him complain about being busy, Lang Lang made a very soulful complaint:

"You're so busy that you haven't even appeared in a single movie, right?"

"..."

Xu Xin was speechless.

After a banquet and a banquet, everyone went back to their homes. Xu Xin stayed at home until November 3rd.

On the 2nd, "I Want to Be Good with You" was released.

Xu Xin originally wanted to take a look, but the temperature had dropped in the past two days and it was freezing cold, so he didn't go. Yang Mi has seen it, so she doesn’t need to go. She just posts about the Amway movie on Weibo every day these days.

People who don't know think she acted it.

Early in the morning on the 3rd, he was awakened by the sound of his wife humming and putting on makeup.

He opened his eyes drowsily and looked at his wife who was sitting in front of the dressing table with her back to him, humming the old song "Two Butterflies", and he asked in confusion:

"You feel so beautiful this morning? What happened? Did you win the lottery?"

"Oh, you're awake!"

The radiant Yang Mi’s expression was really one of joy:

"Thirty-three million! Husband! Thirty-three million!"

Xu Xinxin said that she would have earned more than 30 million, just look at how beautiful you are.

But he immediately asked in confusion:

"What did you do to earn 30 million?"

"What did I do...it's Shishi's movie! The premiere box office was 33 million!"

"Well……"

Xu Xin's groggy consciousness slowly returned.

After realizing that this was a very good result, he nodded:

"Oh, that's not bad."

Since Xiying Studio started a whirlwind of box office expansion, the 20 to 30 million box office that made many people blush and heartbeat in the first few years has not made any waves not only with him, but also with many people.

The Chinese film market has entered a period of box office blowout, which is a fact recognized by everyone.

The billion-dollar film is currently monopolized by people related to the West Film Studio. Whether it is "Journey to the West, Conquer the Demons" or "Fierce" or "Ring" starring Yang Mi, they are inseparable from it.

Now everyone is looking forward to who can break 2 billion.

Shishi's first-day score of 30 million can only be considered average now.

Not really a shining point.

But for an actress, being qualified to leverage a box office of 100 million yuan and gaining recognition is more or less a milestone.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, there were no two Berlin Best Actors and one Best Director to take her flying this time.

"I Want to Be Good With You", a small-budget production, can be resisted by her alone... Judging from this first day, it seems that it will not be difficult to break the 300 million box office.

That shows that, at least in terms of commercial value, the actor "Liu Zhishi" has entered a golden period.

For Yang Mi, my boss and good friend, this is indeed a happy event.

While going to the toilet, Xu Xin took the time to read the reviews of "I Want".

"Meow Meow did it purely on his own, and he deserves what he deserves."

"Help, my girlfriend is this kind of person."

"I used to have a good impression of Liu Zhishi, but after watching this movie, I suddenly started to hate her. Isn't it true that she acted in her true colors? I suggest a thorough investigation. That demonic energy doesn't seem to be acting."

"The blind sister proves to everyone that even if you have bad eyesight, you can still be a good actor!"

"After watching it, it's not bad, but it's a bit cruel."

The reviews are pretty good.

And Xu Xin discovered one thing, that is, what most people hate about Shishi is not because of her poor acting, but because of the character setting called "Miaomiao".

I really don’t like this kind of sick control...

That'll do.

The fact that everyone can "criticize" this role shows that Shishi's performance is a success.

On the 4th, the box office of "I Want to Be Good with You" was 39.6 million.

Breaking 100 million in three days is definitely a certainty.

That night, Concubine Shi, who had finished her last event related to the movie, had just arrived in Yanjing. According to her words, she went home and packed her luggage, and then rushed to Lao Xu's house without stopping.

Yang Mi opened the door.

When friends come to the house, Xu Xin must welcome them.

Who knew that Concubine Shi would give his love rival a huge hug this time.

"Xu Xin!"

She hugged Xu Xin hard, and then gave him two thumbs up:

"Thanks!"

This script was originally chosen by Xu Xin himself.

He deserves a share of the current success.

Faced with Concubine Shi's praise, Xu Xin didn't have any special reaction. After all, the two of them are "the enemy of the wife" and they are incompatible with each other.

Even if the enemy suddenly shows kindness, it will not change the class nature of the two people's opposition.

Concubine Shi has always been the number one enemy of the proletariat in our old Xu’s heart!

We, Mr. Xu, will not take a single needle or thread from our own people.

But against the enemy...

“Eat good food, eat big meals, choose expensive ones!”

Having thoroughly implemented this purpose, he defeated his enemy Xiao Shiwan in one meal.

Before returning home, he picked his teeth with a toothpick and concluded, "The food is okay, but the portion is small and I'm not full."

The angry Concubine Shi also tore off her hypocritical mask and shouted the slogan in public:

"Grab Mimi! Kill Xu Gou! The knife is in hand! Follow me!"

Yang Mi on the side was smiling.

Seems very happy.

…

Anyway, for Shuang Wei, the success of Liu Zhishi's movie is another big boost for Shuang Wei before the end of the year.

The first week box office of "I Want" also achieved a gratifying result of 162 million.

For a small-budget movie, it can almost be said to be a huge profit.

And on November 10th, good news came from Berlin on the other side of the mountains and on the other side of the sea.

The 64th Berlin International Film Festival has announced the shortlist of film festival works.

Among them, three outstanding films from China, including "Fireworks in the Day", "Massage" and "No Man's Land", have been shortlisted for this film festival and will compete in the main competition section.

As for these three movies, "No Man's Land" will not be mentioned. As a movie that has been released this year, it was actually filmed three years ago. People who pay attention to this movie basically know what kind of twists and turns it has.

"Massage" is Lou Ye's movie after the ban was lifted. Although the release date is not yet known, when this movie was screened at the Silk Road Film Festival, Lou Ye said it himself:

"This movie was invested by director Xu Xin."

Not to mention "Fireworks in the Day".

Liang Binning is not an unknown celebrity, her every move has attracted attention from the entertainment industry.

And when the shortlist for the Berlin Film Festival was announced, everyone suddenly discovered...

The shortlisted films are actually from the northwest region.

Moreover, in addition to the finalists in the main competition, the film "Dog 13" will also be played in the screening unit.

With all the plans in mind, there are four films at this Berlin Film Festival.

And these four movies are all produced in the Northwest!

"Uh-huh!"

On the 10th, countless people once again set their sights on the West.

People say that the last Berlin Film Festival was the first year of the "rise" of Chinese-language films.

After all, from "Fierce" to "Zong", the two films can almost monopolize the most valuable Golden Bear Award.

This year, the Northwest Circle has launched four more films.

What will happen this time...?

Is it to create greater glory again, or is it fleeting...

We'll see.

I wish you all good health, peace and success in the new year. Believe me, this is my most sincere wish. Happy New Year everyone!
