I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 1047 1042. Cowardice

Huang Xiaoming proposed to Yang Ying.

A charge triggered the reinforced tendons, and Yang Ying was fixed in place.

Then Huang Xiaoming turned on Death Wish and Recklessness, and took her away.

He knelt down to propose marriage, while Yang Ying cried and was put on a ring.

Xu Xin, who looked as usual, didn't have any so-called "accidents". When he learned from his wife that his senior brother wanted to do something big today, he already guessed the outcome.

And this proposal ceremony was also the climax of the entire banquet.

The guests sent their blessings one after another, and Xu Xin was no exception.

Yang Mi even pulled Yang Ying, who couldn't stop crying, to comfort her for a long time.

It's not obvious at all that she was the mastermind behind Yang Ying's Yuntu resources.

really.

Zhang Wuji was damn right.

The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.

The ancients never deceived me.

As for this ceremony... Frankly speaking, Xu Xin didn't feel much at all.

There was even some calmness.

However, after his wife had comforted her and the guests were having a revelry of drinking and dancing, he held his wife's hand and asked in a low voice:

"Compared with someone else's formality, isn't my proposal a bit hasty?"

On the night after the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, he was extremely tired and got into the Audi where his girlfriend came to pick him up. The two of them completed the ceremony on the Ring Road Viaduct.

The BGM is still the same song "Until the End of the World".

He said "Marry me."

In exchange, Yang Mi said "Okay."

It ended calmly.

Thinking on the bright side, this is true.

But being compared like this...

This is a scene where the flowers are like brocade, the fire is cooking oil, and the guests are like clouds of wine and delicacies...

It’s really incomparable.

But when Yang Mi heard this, she sneered:

"Tsk. Stop being ridiculous."

She couldn't talk about her contempt for Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying, she was just mocking her husband's words:

"That night was a wonderful scene that can be recorded in the history of our country. If nothing else, if we had set the wedding date on that day and you couldn't come because of the delay, then I wouldn't blame you. On the contrary, you would feel that you could get married. It is the most honorable thing to give you... Are you arguing with this kind of petty fight?"

"...I don't think this scene is a small fight. It's just a small fight between the two of us."

Seeing that her husband was still belittling herself, Yang Mi cast a sidelong glance at him to make sure he was not after Versailles before asking:

"Aren't you afraid of society?...Okay, then you can give me another one according to this specification? I want you to dance in front of everyone, kneel down to propose to me, and then you have to shout "Yang Mi, I am" three times Love you! Are you here?"

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

Oh my god.

Just thinking about this scene gives me goosebumps.

He quickly shook his head:

"Forget it, bro, I was kidding."

"cut."

Yang Mi curled her lips.

But she still quietly grabbed her husband’s hand and held her own:

"Don't always compete with others. When you compare with others, you will win or lose. When you win or lose, you will have a winning mentality. If you live with a winning mentality, you will live an unhappy life."

"Yo?"

Xu Xin looked surprised:

"Who said this? It doesn't look like you summed it up yourself."

"Master said it."

Yang Mi shook her head slightly:

"I think it makes sense."

"All right."

Xu Xin nodded and said no more.

But Yang Mi asked curiously:

"You just went out to smoke for so long, and you asked Tingting to come over and watch for you...who did you sneak into?"

"Yang Tianzhen, I... hmm?"

"Oh my God!"

Looking at his wife whose eyes were rounded, Xu Xin felt a black line on his forehead:

"are you crazy?"

"Brother, am I dissatisfied with you? I know I have small breasts and a small butt, but at least...can't..."

"..."

In Xu Xin's speechless gaze, she joked again:

"Is your pelvis okay?"

"You want to ask me if the shaft of my hip is broken?"

Xu Xin rolled his eyes angrily:

"That's a friend, don't talk nonsense."

"Hehe~"

Yang Mi made a cute expression with her tongue sticking out naughtily.

All of a sudden, the mother smell on my body was diluted a lot.

"We just chatted for a while."

"About what?"

"Here."

Xu Xin pursed his lips, and Yang Mi glanced at Wu Yifan, who was chatting happily with a few middle-aged people over there, and frowned slightly:

"You don't like him?"

"It has nothing to do with him. I just thought of something. We had a chat... I'll talk to you after we get in the car."

"Um."

Anyway, the dinner party is almost over now.

Then get in the car and talk.

At this time, a woman mustered up her courage and walked to Xu Xin:

"Director Xu, can I ask you to dance?"

"No, thank you."

Xu Xin instinctively rejected her without even thinking about it.

And gave the woman a polite and apologetic smile.

"Let's go dance."

Yang Mi looked indifferent.

"I don't want to go. You are here, why should I dance with others?"

"Then shall I leave?"

"Believe it or not, I will strangle you to death?"

"hey-hey……"

For some reason, Yang Mi smiled even happier.

Holding her lover's hand, looking at the men and women filling the dance floor, there was an unparalleled sense of showing off on her face.

It's like saying: Look, this is my husband. His name is Xu Xin, are you... envious?

"Then let's dance?"

"Okay."

Seeing Xu Xin agree, the smile on her lips became even brighter.

But he still shook his head:

"Forget it, we won't do anything that offends people. Just watch it honestly... Hey, that woman's butt is so big."

"...It's not small."

"It's definitely exciting."

"..."

"Why don't you speak?"

"fear death."

"6"

…

The birthday party ended at around 9:40.

Everything was fine, except that Xu Xin was a little underfed.

Although the quality is not low today, everything such as Buddha Jumping over the Wall and Big Lobster are all self-service and you can eat whatever you want.

I obviously ate a lot of food and drank a lot of wine, but I just felt like there was nothing in my stomach.

"Senior brother, congratulations, then we will go back."

"Um!"

Huang Xiaoming's face was full of joy, and he was obviously very happy.

Over there, Yang Mi also finished chatting with Yang Ying.

After sending his blessings to the two of them, Xu Xin didn't wait too long. After all, there were other guests waiting to greet him.

Waving his hand, Xu Xin walked directly in the direction of the car.

When he was almost walking to the car, he heard a chuckle. He turned around and found Yang Mi playing with her cell phone.

"What's wrong?"

"The emoticon of the little girl named Guan Xiaotong is quite interesting."

Xu Xin took a glance and found that the two of them had become friends.

But he didn't ask what they were talking about and got in the car directly.

After the car drove out of the parking lot, Yang Mi put away her phone and asked:

"What were you and Yang Tianzhen talking about just now?"

Xu Xin roughly recounted what he thought and what the other party said.

The evaluation given by Yang Mi is:

"Worrying is unfounded."

In her husband's speechless gaze, she said nonchalantly:

"You're not a savior. Why are you worried about this?"

"This is related to the future of the circle. Wouldn't you think too much about it?"

"Don't think too much, because there is no point in thinking about it. If you don't mention anything else, just what Yang Tianzhen said, after such a popular artist becomes popular, there will be countless film crews and others looking for him... Isn't it the same way now? Which one? The star is popular, regardless of whether the role is suitable or not, the management hopes that the person will come. Why? Because the person's popularity is the guarantee of the box office. This routine has been used all the time, and it is not unusual."

"You do not understand what I mean."

Xu Xin shook his head, looking a little sad:

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that in the future everyone in this circle will be thinking about how to become popular and how to be topical... just like what she said, overwhelmingly paying for drafts and hype for one person. So that everyone will think about this in the future. Who cares about the quality of the work?"

After saying that, he looked at Yang Mi's puzzled look for a moment and knew that she still didn't understand what he meant.

So I gave an example:

"Suppose, this is how you became popular. And I am now an... ordinary director, and Tingting is now the investor in my movie. Do you think I should listen to Tingting?"

"That's for sure. Why should a young director resist the investors? Everything must be done according to what the investors say. It's the big boss who gets the money."

"Okay. Suppose I have a role in this story. For a role like Zhao Di, I need someone with strong acting skills to play it, but Tingting thinks you are very popular and insists on using you. Do you think I can resist?"

"cannot."

"Then do you think the movie "Breaking Silence" can still be watched?"

"..."

At this time, Yang Mi's brows furrowed completely.

Seeing that she remained silent, Xu Xin continued:

"Actually, did anyone make a mistake in the whole thing? No. The management hopes to get a popular protagonist, so that it can guarantee the box office. You, with your high popularity and many fans, are a particularly suitable candidate for the role of Zhao Di.

But the problem is...the director is right to want to make a good story.

But if you are the kind of person who is very popular, has many fans, and is very good at acting, then it's okay.

But what if you are just a star who is promoted by capital according to what she said. It doesn’t matter what you want, even like Wu Yifan and Lu Han, they are not from a professional background, and their acting skills are worse than Yang Ying. What do you ask the director to do? What do you want the movie to do? This is what I'm afraid of, do you understand?

It’s not that celebrities in the entertainment industry will rely on this to promote themselves in the future. Sooner or later, this industry will be finished... Whether this circle will be finished or not has nothing to do with me? I am a director, not a domineering figure in the entertainment industry. All I care about is the movie and the environment.

But the question is, if...I mean if, things really go according to what she said, and I'm not going to hide it from you, I feel that there will definitely be a lot of people taking this road in the future. Do you know why? Because it is too easy for those Internet companies.

They have the power of the Internet, and if they want to promote people like this, it is really just a few keystrokes. And if there are more people walking on this road, when making movies in the future, those small directors and small crews will encounter a bunch of these popular but difficult-to-serve grandparents, who cannot be beaten or scolded, then this circle will be It’s really over! "

"..."

Yang Mi's brows wrinkled tighter and tighter.

However, she actually did not directly answer her husband's words.

This is also a matter of communication habits between the two.

Your brain reacts quickly, and mine is not slow either.

When Xu Xin, the more than 400 scheming people, made his point clear, Yang Mi, the other 400 or so scheming people, was already thinking about countermeasures.

She didn't even bother to ask her husband:

"Then what should we do?"

Because it makes no sense.

If you have this time, you might as well think about how to deal with this situation if it happens in the future.

But the problem is...

I can't think of it.

She was a little embarrassed, frowned and muttered:

"Then if what you say...the director will definitely be a doormat in the future. A big director will be fine, but a small director will definitely have no way to survive. But the question is...have you ever thought about it, in this situation, it is impossible to stand in the director's position? There is nothing you can do. Even if you... To put it bluntly, you are just a director, how many movies can you direct in a year? Even if you direct one movie a month, you can have up to 12 movies a year. This is the most ridiculous calculation method.

And even if you are satisfied with this nonsense of 12 movies a year, your energy will only be radiated in these 12 movies at most. You can ensure that every role is at least capable of acting, or... you don't have to compromise with these so-called capital. But that's not necessarily the case for others.

At most, you can include the factory... But the problem is, you can't take care of things in the factory now. The factory can now approve two or three movies a month. In the past, you were involved in the entire script selection process. But now? How long has it been since you reviewed the scripts in the factory? You don't have time with Ben.

You have to film, you have to do preparatory work, you even have to teach... there are a lot of things before you. You don't know what to do, don't you? Unless you stop making movies, completely go behind the scenes and become a producer. Only in this position can you access the script library in the factory and decide on the director and actors.

And if you are a producer, let alone the entire entertainment industry, at least you can control most of the resources in Yuntu and Northwest Circle to ensure their "purity". Whether it's capital, actors, or directors, as long as you're here, they won't be able to make waves, and they'll all give you face.

But the problem is...you don't want to make movies? "

"..."

This time it was Xu Xin's turn and she didn't know what to say.

yes.

No more movies?

In fact, he had already thought of this possibility before.

Indeed, what my wife said is very scientific.

Quite right.

But the problem is... He has always positioned himself as a director. The reason why he works so hard to manage the pure land of the Northwest Circle is actually to make his life more comfortable and at ease.

He wants the environment to change for him so that he can feel comfortable.

But the problem is...if this continues, he will change from an "enjoier" to a "creator".

To put it bluntly, he was originally a bastard in the pool.

As a result, he suddenly had to start working as a scavenger.

Who can bear this?

I ate too much mud, and I was worried about indigestion...

Therefore, facing his wife's words, the only response he could give was silence.

There was even a hint of guilt in this silence.

It's like a person who talks about benevolence, justice and morality every day, but when he encounters Zhenzhang, he suddenly shrinks back with shame.

I saw the future.

I can change.

But……

I'm scared.

I'm afraid that the cost of changing the future will be that it affects myself.

Or to put it more extreme, I am afraid that it will be "myself" who will be sacrificed in the future.

Or if the proposition is bigger, which country came first? Or have a home first?

If this question were raised alone, Xu Xin would definitely tell everyone without hesitation, "Without a country, how can there be a home?"

But... even if troubled times come, he is still confident that in his "home", that is, in the movies he leads, he can still live as a stream of fresh air and bring better works to the audience.

I can find peace in this troubled time.

But is this really right?

Obviously has greater ability...

He is capable, but he is timid because he cannot bear to leave his own family.

Although this is just an exaggerated description, the essence is actually the same.

Therefore, he is actually feeling guilty now.

For the first time, I even felt that I was particularly hypocritical.

He talks about benevolence and morality, but he only does dirty things.

Hate yourself.

But they are afraid that future changes will sacrifice their own future.

Because this future is a very extreme choice. A choice that could change the course of his destiny.

Once things really start to go in the direction he expected, he has to make a choice.

But... I expected it.

How to choose this choice, he is not ready yet.

This is not something that can be answered in a few words...

"Crack."

Obviously when Yang Mi was here, unless he was driving the family SUV, he would basically not smoke in the middle row seat of the business car.

After all, the rear window of the commercial vehicle can only be opened a crack, so the smell of smoke is really difficult to dissipate.

But at this moment, he picked up this topic again, but he didn't dare to talk about it anymore, for fear that he would become more and more irritated in his wife's heart as she changed from a husband to a coward.

When she saw him smoking, Yang Mi was stunned for a moment...

Then with the help of a streetlight, I saw the self-loathing and boredom on my husband's face, which was covered with shadows.

For a moment, she wondered why her husband would react so emotionally to such a thing.

He was obviously fine just now...did he touch his sore spot with those words?

Can't figure it out.

But all she could do was open the side window on her side.

He even forgot to open the window.

And with the windows open, airflow begins to circulate.

The smell of countless burning tobacco passed through the tip of her nose.

Get out of the car through the gap.

Her nose twitched slightly.

For no reason, I felt that the smoke my husband exhaled smelled like he was upset.

After thinking about it, she reached out and clasped her husband's hand.

"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. I'll leave for the Maldives tomorrow and think about it slowly. This kind of thing doesn't happen overnight. I'm talking...if the sky falls, there are tall people holding it up."

Hearing this, Xu Xin came back to his senses.

He turned to look at his wife's worried eyes.

After thinking for a while, he said in a difficult tone:

"If I……"

"Shhh."

Unfortunately, before he could finish these words, Yang Mi put her finger against his mouth:

"Okay, I'm so happy tonight. Don't make yourself uncomfortable. Let's not talk about it... Tingting, drive quickly and go home quickly. Your brother Xu and I are going to have a second child."

"Huh? Don't...I..."

"What are you!"

Seeing Xu Xin's dumbfounded gaze, Yang Mi raised her eyebrows:

"Go home and give me a bath. You have to propose to me later, do you hear me?"

"..."

Xu Xinxin asked: Why does this person only have this kind of thing in his mind?

But at this moment...

"Put out the cigarette, I choked to death!"

"Uh... ok."

He nodded, pushed open the window on his side, and threw the cigarette he had only taken a few puffs along the crack.

"Shall I ask our dad to cook some dumplings for us? Have you eaten enough tonight?"

"...Didn't you say you want to have a second child when you go home?"

"You're full of food and lustful. Do you want to eat?"

"eat!"

With his agreement, no matter what, this topic... will come to an end for now.

Like a procrastinator, Xu Xin deceived himself and temporarily put these messy thoughts behind him.

There is even some unrealistic fantasy in my heart.

What if... a great person emerges and can solve this problem single-handedly?

Yes...right?

…

No. 14.

Although there are no photos, the news of Yang Ying and Huang Xiaoming's engagement is circulating on the "road".

However, the guests were very polite and did not take any photos of the scene, so no matter what the reporters said, everyone was just trying to make up for it. Maybe except for fans of the two companies, no one really cares about this kind of news without substantive evidence.

In fact, it has nothing to do with the couple.

They packed their things early in the morning and prepared to go to the Maldives.

Moreover, this time even Yang Mi, who has always insisted that "children should study hard", made a mistake and asked for a week's leave in advance for her children.

As for kindergarten, missing a week is nothing.

But my godfather's wedding is only once in my life.

Maybe next time it will be a funeral.

So you have to participate.

In the morning, they brought a few boxes of clothes to change, and after Liu Zhishi arrived, the three of them set off.

Before going out, Xu Xin took a look at the Land Cruiser parked at home... and complained to his wife:

"Do you think that after we leave, our parents will have to play gongs and drums and set off firecrackers?"

Yang Mi shook her head speechlessly:

"Anyway, the two of them are always happy."

My father-in-law and mother-in-law did not go to this wedding.

The two of them have already planned an itinerary, and they are going to go ice fishing in Inner Mongolia on a self-driving trip with Brother Qianer and the others.

Yes, you are not mistaken.

Inner Mongolia, ice fishing.

Xu Xin's first reaction was that Brother Qian'er was about to take up the post of chief of the Inner Mongolia Navy.

But no matter what, arrangements have been made, and the two elders can finally break free from the shackles of their two little ancestors.

Good news, they are liberated.

Bad news, Su Meng, who had originally longed to go to the Maldives for vacation, cried with joy when she heard about her mission.

I cried so much that I was so happy.

Although Sister Tingting was said to take the lead, the assistants all helped with the baby.

But the problem is... Sister Shishi's assistant Bi Xiaolei doesn't know Nuannuan Yangyang well, and Sister Tingting doesn't trust her to take good care of her.

Sister Qiqi is my senior again...

In the end, it's your turn to do the job.

Seeing Nuannuan's happy face because she was going on a trip, Su Meng felt that she shouldn't even bring a bikini.

Who knows if this ancestor would take off his own pants...

Wow...

The more she thought about it, the more she looked forward to her trip to the Maldives and burst into tears.

Xu Xin, who was passing by, heard the movement, turned to look at her, and muttered:

"What's going on..."

Anyway, let’s talk about it anyway.

The group set off directly and arrived at the airport to board the plane and take off.

On the plane, Xu Xin looked at the Emperor and Concubine Shi who were chatting, and silently turned his head to the side.

"What's wrong with Xu Xin? Why do you look unhappy?"

"I have something on my mind."

Yang Mi glanced at her husband and shook her head slightly:

"But it's hard to tell you, because...his matter is more difficult to deal with. It's about the future. It's better that you don't know than you know."

"...Who are you two planning to plot against again?"

Liu Zhishi asked with a accustomed expression.

Obviously, in her eyes, Xu Xin is not a good person.

Unfortunately, she guessed wrong this time.

Yang Mi sighed:

"If only it were that simple..."

"?"

Concubine Shi had a strange look on her face.

After all, she rarely saw a sad look on Xu Xin's face.

Did something really happen this time?

…

The time difference between Maldives and Yanjing is 3 hours.

Several people took off at 8 a.m. and arrived in the Maldives at around 3 p.m.

The flight is just over ten hours.

Not tired either.

And after seeing the blue sea through the plane, Xu Xin's mood naturally improved a lot.

Because he had been here once before, after getting off the plane, he led his family directly onto the seaplane and flew to St. Regis Island.

This is the first time Nuannuan and Yangyang have landed on the water. For the two children, it is not strange to be a plane, but to be able to land a plane on the water... It is really strange that the mother opens the door for Xilan, and Xilan is home.

When I got on the yacht and watched the seaplane take off, there was a lot of yelling.

And far away, in the afternoon sunshine of Madai, Liu Zhishi squinted his eyes and said to Xu Xin:

"Seventh brother and Lao Wang are here to greet us?...Who are those people next to you?"

Xu Xin was a little surprised:

"Can you see?"

"Yeah...huh?"

Liu Zhishi, who responded subconsciously, reacted and slapped Xu Xin on the back:

"Believe it or not, I will sink you into the sea and feed you to the fishes!"

"Tsk...you were cuter than you were when we first met."

Liu Zhishi smiled proudly:

"The me before? I'm already dead! You chose me! Idol!"

"..."

Xu Xinxin said that this joke is almost old, why are you still playing it?

but……

He squinted his eyes and looked at those people, and found that they were indeed unfamiliar.

Never seen it.

Soon, as Wang Sicong waved his arms, the yacht docked.

"Godfather!"

After Nuannuan saw Wang Sicong, she was about to rush over there.

The frightened Wang Sicong quickly stopped in front of Si Wei:

"Okay, okay, baby, let's slow down, slow down..."

After quickly hugging Nuan Nuan, Yang Yang also took Xu Xin's hand and walked to the picker's side.

Xu Xin looked at his cautious friend and chuckled, then looked at the two women and one man next to him, with a bit of confusion in his eyes.

Seeing this, Wang Sicong hugged Nuan Nuan and said:

"Bodyguard, I'll introduce you later."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Zhishi was stunned.

bodyguard?

Although she didn't realize that these three people were Lian Jiazi...

But Lao Wang has never had a bodyguard by his side for so many years, so why is he worthy now?

Moreover, two women and one man.

The man...certainly isn't Seventh Brother's bodyguard wearing baggy clothes, right?

One Lao Wang and two seventh brothers?

Good guy... Is Brother Seventh's treatment so exaggerated?

She couldn't help laughing and said:

"Brother Seven, you are already paired with two now. If you get pregnant in the future, you will not be able to get a reinforcement!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

As soon as she said it, she suddenly realized that everyone was embarrassed.

Is there something wrong with what I said?

She was a little confused.

But at this time, Yang Mi patted her shoulder, and then glanced at Di Wei.

Si Wei smiled awkwardly:

"This... Shishi... I... am already pregnant."

"Ah!...What?!"

Liu Zhishi was immediately dumbfounded.

stunned.

Xu Xin glanced at the blind sister who was starting to look stupid all over her body, shook her head helplessly, let her silently digest the fact, and asked Wang Sicong:

"where are they?"

"Lin Gou came last. He has to take care of my relatives over there. Old Wolf is on the plane, and the wheel side just got off the plane. It's almost here."

Hearing this, Yang Mi asked:

"Are we the first batch?"

"right."

The eldest young master nodded:

"Lao Xu, Lin Li and the others arrived last night."

"Let's go then and get down to business first."

This documentary is a gift for a friend.

Xu Xin attaches great importance to it.

Get busy now.
