I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

After his last trip to St. Regis Island, he already had a pretty good understanding of the layout of the island.

He said hello to Yang Mi first:

"I've passed."

"Well, Lao Wang, where shall we live?"

After hearing this, Wang Sicong, who put down his warmth, waved to a dark-skinned foreigner next to him, and then introduced to Yang Mi:

"Kali, the butler on the island, he will take you to the sea view villa."

"Hello, ma'am."

"Hello."

After the two of them greeted each other, Wang Sicong gave another instruction:

"Arrange all the divers, Dami, Shishi, go diving first, that coral reef is so beautiful. Don't worry, kid, I've assigned 4 safety officers and two divers, don't worry about anything, just have fun! "

As soon as Wang Sicong opened his mouth, there was a strong smell of copper.

Xu Xin was also eager to try:

"You go first, I'll be there in a moment."

"good."

After agreeing, Xu Xin followed Wang Sicong to the island, and far away, he saw Lin Li leading the two of them on the tree-lined avenue.

A lighting engineer, a sound director.

Coupled with him as the chief director, these four melons and two jujubes are complete.

"How are you preparing for the entire process? When will Uncle Wang come?"

"He will come the day after tomorrow. There is a meeting in the country."

Wearing beach pants and flip-flops, Wang Sicong didn't see any nervousness or expectation on his face.

No fatigue either.

Indeed, at this stage, he is almost busy with all the things he should be busy with, and the rest can be left to the wedding team members.

"By the way, Huang Xiaoming also sent me a WeChat message."

"What's wrong?"

"Didn't he propose to Yang Ying? He chatted with me for a few words and said... It's quite a pity. I thought he could be faster than me and wanted to make me the best man..."

"……Um."

Hearing Xu Xin's response, Wang Sicong glanced at his friend.

He asked in confusion:

"What's wrong?"

Xu Xin was stunned:

"What?"

"Why do you frown when I mention Huang Xiaoming?"

"……Have it?"

Subconsciously, I touched the center of my eyebrows, and my fingers reported a bulge.

He paused for a moment, then returned to normal, shaking his head slightly:

"fine."

"..."

Xu Xin didn't look like someone who was fine.

But the sun was shining brightly right now, and Lin Li and the others were coming soon.

He thought for a while and said:

"Then find a place where no one is around to talk."

Xu Xin temporarily suppressed the ripples in his heart and responded with a smile:

"Um."

"Director Xu."

"Um."

As Lin Li came over and introduced the lighting engineer and radio, Wang Sicong took them to the wedding venue.

On the original wooden platform, an arch landscaping has been built with bouquets of flowers, wrought iron and the like.

As Wang Sicong said, the wedding venue is actually very simple.

They make the most of the natural scenery and reduce the craftsmanship of artificial carvings.

Although the sun is above the head at the moment and the sunset cannot be seen yet... Xu Xin has seen the beauty of the sunset last time, so naturally he is not worried.

He just asked Lin Li:

"Have you checked the rocker arm and everything? Is it okay?"

"No problem, Director Xu. I also took advantage of the darkness to arrange a few lights and recorded some demos. They are on the computer. You can take a look at them later."

"Um."

The two began to communicate, and Wang Sicong was responsible for showing him the surrounding environment, including the several restaurants, bars, etc. that were gathered together.

It took more than half an hour to read it all.

The day was very hot, so a few people sat in the restaurant and ordered a few cold drinks.

"I've seen the lights in this restaurant at night, and the atmosphere is very good. In the past two days, most of our familiar friends have come, so we can record some behind-the-scenes footage. Lao Wang, the angle I chose last time is just right for facing , facing away, and having a particularly good lighting angle. Why is that area still empty? Where is the sofa for guests? "

He asked, pointing to a direction at the outdoor bar of the bar.

"The sofa will be delivered tomorrow, don't worry."

"Well, when the sofa comes and the lights are set up, that area is still more important. Our documentary this time is actually more interviews and some clips interspersed with trivial daily life. There are not too many camera positions. Require……"

Several people listened to Xu Xin's chat.

But as Xu Xin spoke, his eyes suddenly straightened.

I……

What the hell……

As soon as he spoke, several people looked at him.

Then through his stunned expression, they all turned their heads and looked at the entrance of the bar.

Don't talk about them now...even the waiters and bartenders looked straight.

Damimi and Heping Shishi are wearing a bikini on the upper body, and the lower body is also in a bikini, but with an extra scarf. One of them is leaning to the left, and the other is leaning to the right. They wear a big sun hat, put on big sunglasses on their eyes, and wear a herringbone. Drag is heading this way.

There is no need to mention Yang Mi’s figure.

Liu Zhishi is better because of his temperament.

It must be admitted that the two fought evenly.

"Holy crap... Dami is so white..."

"?"

Hearing his friend's sigh, Xu Xin looked at his friend with a look of "Are you okay?"

Then...

"Snapped!"

"Ouch!"

Wang Sicong covered the back of his head:

"What are you doing!"

"What are you talking about! Then she is my wife!"

"I know she's your wife, I'm reading Shishi!"

"Snapped!!"

"ah!!!!"

Wang Sicong screamed after being slapped firmly on the thigh by Xu Xin.

Xu Xin, whose palms were red, said with a smile:

"You're getting married in a few days, and the child's father is yours!"

"Hiss... you bastard! You're going to kill me... it hurts daddy to death! Ouch!!!"

The eldest young master kept gasping for air.

The three people in Lin Li were so frightened that they looked at their noses with their eyes, their mouths with their noses, and their hearts with their mouths.

He was afraid that Director Xu's slap would also hit his thigh.

At this time, Yang Mi’s proud voice sounded like a peacock:

"Look, I'm telling you, my charm is still there!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

As soon as he said it, a group of male compatriots, including Xu Xin, all had black lines on their heads.

Liu Zhishi pushed the brim of her hat helplessly with her hand and said;

"Sister, please pay attention. The slaps Lao Wang received are really unjust."

"Hehe~"

A certain golden bear movie queen and an internationally renowned actor proudly walked up to the table of men, pinched her waist with her hands, rested on the spot, and made a very gangster gesture towards Xu Xin:

"Hey, handsome guy, are you single?"

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

Before answering, Wang Sicong nodded vigorously:

"We could be!"

"..."

This time it was Yang Mi's turn to be speechless.

He took off his sunglasses, looked at his friend with a very contemptuous look, then turned to Concubine Shi and said:

"Write down what he said and tell Brother Qi later."

"Hey, hey, why are you throwing sand around when you're joking?... What are you two planning to do?"

"Come and call our husbands."

"Oh, old...?"

"?"

"??"

"???"

"..."

Seeing the four gentlemen all looking at him, Xu Xin, knowing that his wife was starting to go crazy, rolled his eyes:

"What do you want me to do? Find it yourself if you have the ability."

As he spoke, he grabbed his cigarette case and mobile phone and stood up, trying to hold the two beauties in his arms:

"Let's go, let me put some sunscreen on you two."

"Go aside, you pervert, stay away from me!"

Liu Zhishi pushed him away and walked directly to the bar.

The juice she ordered is ready.

Xu Xin took advantage of the situation and put his hand on his wife's waist:

"Where's the child?"

"I'm sleepy. I'm sleeping in the house. Mengmeng is taking me with me. I'm going to find a place to get warm... Are you finished? Let's go together?"

"Also... almost."

Xu Xin, who instantly forgot what work was after having a daughter-in-law, nodded:

"Let's go and sunbathe together."

With that said, he took his wife in his arms and walked out.

After walking a few steps, I heard Wang Sicong shouting from behind:

"Hey, is it over now? Haven't we finished talking yet?"

Hearing this, Xu Xin just turned around and smiled contemptuously. He spread his thumb and index finger on his hand, making a gesture that represented "eight" in Chinese, and raised his index finger straight to the sky on his forehead.

This is a new thing he learned in the United States.

It means "LOSER".

Goodbye, losers.

I'm going to put sunscreen on my wife!

When Liu Zhishi, who was holding a glass of juice in his hand, saw this, he also said hello to the men:

"I'm going too."

"...Leaving now? Don't you want to sit around for a while?"

After hearing what Lao Wang said, Concubine Shi looked at him with contempt:

"I'm not white."

After saying that, he followed up.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The gentlemen were speechless for a while.

Wang Sicong glanced at the time on his watch and suddenly said:

"I'm going back to find Brother Seven, let's disband on the spot."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

Lin Li and the three others were left looking at each other.

"Director Lin, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Not yet. Have you?"

"Uh...me neither. Where is Director Zhou?"

"I am married……"

"Then you are the most pitiful."

"..."

Lin Li's words made Wang Sicong, who had not left the conversation area, twitch the corner of his mouth...

…

Di Wei's pregnancy reaction was actually not strong.

She was pregnant at full term and had a strong taste. She didn't feel vomiting at all, and even her physical condition was not a problem at all.

But...she started to become a little lethargic.

She is a very energetic person in normal times. Whether she is taking Wang Sicong to climb mountains, go down rivers or go hiking, etc., her boyfriend is already so tired that he is about to vomit even though she has nothing to do... But this pregnancy, The whole person feels like staying up all night every day.

I feel sleepy at around 9pm, and I sleep until around 7am. After breakfast, it’s probably around 10pm, and I like to take a nap for half an hour. Not to mention noon, it really goes with the old saying, sleep in spring, fall and summer. Around 3:30, I was able to sleep until 6 o'clock on time.

Then I would wake up for a few hours and yawn again.

For this reason, Wang Sicong also took her for a check-up and found that there was no physical problem.

But it is a psychological problem.

Anyway, it's quite mysterious, but the general meaning according to the doctor is that as a mother, she feels the most secure when she sleeps, and subconsciously wants to give her child the most stable environment...

Not a bad thing.

This symptom has some external stress causes, but it is more of a self-regulation of hormones.

It will improve as the month gets older and your mood stabilizes.

After getting this result, Wang Sicong was relieved.

Being able to sleep is a blessing.

Besides...he didn't need anyone to tell him. He himself knew what the child in Brother Qi's belly meant to her, to himself, and even to the two families.

When he returned to the villa, Brother Qi was already drowsy.

As soon as he came back, he was pulled along.

Wang Sicong actually doesn't have the habit of taking a nap. Even if he goes to bed in the afternoon, he will have to stay up until two or three o'clock at least before he feels a little sleepy.

But he didn't refuse, he just held his fiancée, who would become his wife in a few days, firmly and patted her back gently.

There was no communication, and Di Wei was already quite sleepy.

In the arms of a man who could provide her with a sense of security, and being coaxed like this, her breathing became evener in less than three minutes.

Wang Sicong did not move, but maintained the position of holding her. After staying there for about five or six minutes, he quietly took out his arm, covered Si Wei with the quilt, and then stretched his hand out. After trying the air outlet and finding that there were no problems with the temperature, noise, or humidity of the air conditioner, he picked up an IPAD in the villa that could control all electrical appliances, and set an alarm clock for the curtains.

In another 2 hours, it will be the most beautiful sunset in the Maldives.

The setting sun will connect with the sea and the sky. No matter how many times you see that scene, you will always feel relaxed and happy.

After setting the time for the electric curtains to open automatically, he put the iPad aside and set an alarm for himself one hour and 50 minutes in advance.

When the alarm rings, he will rush back, kiss his fiancée awake from her sleep, and enjoy the golden light coming through the glass window with her.

People say that one of the best things for couples to do is to create romantic surprises for each other from time to time.

He used to sneer at it, thinking it was just a scheming trick made up by some sellers to promote their own gifts.

But now he quite believes it.

Tiptoeing out of the door, he saw the female bodyguard sitting very close to the master bedroom.

These three bodyguards were found by the family.

Wang Sicong didn't think it was necessary...but Seventh Brother definitely needed it.

A shift system is adopted, with day and night protection.

Even though this island is full of acquaintances.

He won't say much caring words, after all, these people's wages are not low.

But he nodded politely:

"I'll go out and leave it to you."

In a transaction between a bodyguard and his employer, it is always a good idea to add a touch of human touch.

At the nod of the bodyguard, he walked out the door and went straight to the lagoon villa next to him.

The blazing sunshine was still there. He stepped on the beach and sent a message to Jay Chou. He was relieved when he learned that he was waiting in line for a flight and would be there soon.

It takes about 40 minutes to get here from Male Airport.

This time the guests are all very close, so no matter who the guest is, you have to take good care of them.

While thinking about it, he saw at a glance Su Meng, led by a very good diving instructor, working hard to plunge deep into the body.

"Ha~"

He chuckled lightly and walked all the way to Xu Xin and Yang Mi's villa. Seeing that the door was unlocked, he walked in directly:

"Old Xu."

"Ai."

Xu Xin didn't agree, and Yang Mi's voice sounded.

He followed the sound and found Yang Mi and Liu Zhishi wearing bath towels.

So, he stopped and waited for a while for Yang Mi to come over on her own initiative.

Gauze skirt for the lower body and bath towel for the upper body.

Their hair was still wet.

He looked at it and said with a strange expression:

"What did you two do behind Lao Xu's back?"

"Mandarin duck bath, what? Never seen it before?"

Yang Mi's words caused the eldest young master to look increasingly weird.

Um.

Why is it not considered another type of NTR?

"Where's Lao Xu?"

"Take the child to bed. After applying sunscreen on both of us, we started to yawn. I guess I woke up at night..."

"Hello!"

Liu Zhishi pushed her wordlessly and didn't bother to explain. He just used his actions to prove that "Xu Xin didn't paint it on me" and "it was her who painted it on me" and erected a chastity memorial.

Then he asked his friend:

"Where's Seventh Brother?"

"She's taking a lunch break too."

Wang Sicong said and asked Yang Mi:

"When I went to see the venue with Lao Xu just now, talking about Huang Xiaoming's engagement... wasn't it just yesterday? I saw Lao Xu frowning, what's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhishi said:

"Then you two talk."

"You won't listen?"

"I know about this. I heard about it on the plane. I'm going to go back and have a rest. You guys can talk."

After saying that, she ran away.

Yang Mi didn’t try to stay, she just said:

"I'll go up and change some clothes."

"OK."

Soon, she put on long sleeves, even a sun hat, big sunglasses, and a face mask. Dressed like a ghost, she walked to the viewing terrace in front of the swimming pool.

Wang Sicong was speechless for a while and asked:

"What are you doing? Guarding against me is like guarding against thieves."

"You are not qualified enough for me to protect you. What I protect against is the pervasive ultraviolet rays. I don't want to take a vacation and go back to darken a few colors."

As she said that, she poured some water into the ashtray, and then when she lay down on the recliner, Wang Sicong realized that she had put on her socks.

Really covered from head to toe.

It was as if she wasn't the one wearing a bikini just now.

He lit a cigarette and asked:

"What's going on? Did Huang Xiaoming offend Lao Xu? Don't they have a good relationship?"

"It's not him. That's what happened..."

After telling the whole story, Wang Sicong frowned:

"What do you mean? What Lao Xu is worried about is not the Beijing circle, but the current star-making model?"

"right."

Yang Mi responded:

"He was actually thinking about this all the way."

"..."

Wang Sicong frowned.

After lighting another cigarette for himself, he said:

"Actually, this kind of worry is reasonable. Didn't Lao Xu always say in the past that when the big wave recedes, who is swimming naked with bare buttocks, everyone will know. But now it is obvious that the influence of all circles In fact, they are all disappearing. Not only Lao Xu can notice it, but I can too.

The guests invited by various variety shows like Tianla are now paid to clear the way. But... in the final analysis, I don’t think it has much impact. The day he is in the northwest circle, or in other words, the day he has the right to speak, others have to bow to him. No matter how big the star is, when it comes to him, he is a dragon and a tiger. Have to lie down. There's no need to worry about that, right? It’s not really a problem. "

Yang Mi was speechless:

"Eunuch Wang, why can't you understand the emperor's heart? Is he worried about the general environment?"

Wang Sicong was startled.

"What he is really worried about is how he will choose, understand?... Didn't I tell you just now? I won't mention other investors, just Xiying Studio. You know the art creation center of Xiying Factory now What's the scale? It's no smaller than when the Northwest Circle took up half of the movie.

Moreover, it is freer and the soil is more fertile.

Do you know how many scripts are sent to it every month, and how many directors apply to invest in filming? Not to mention anything else, in 2011, there were only five projects listed as the highlight of Xiying Film Studio. "Golden Heist", "To Youth", etc., a total of 5 movies.

But do you know how many projects have been launched in the factory since the beginning of this year? 17! For these 17 projects, Xu Xin didn't even read the scripts. Because he can no longer see it, Qi Lei is watching now.

Moreover, the factory is recruiting more producers this year, and now there are not even enough producers. Although I didn't tell Xu Xin... To be honest, I feel that if the current expansion rate continues, some of the works released by Xiying Studio in the future... may not necessarily be particularly good works.

Think about it, now we are just competing with Beijing Circle. But according to his idea, once this torrent of capital rolls in, there will only be more and more projects in the future, do you understand?

Let me put it bluntly...if it weren't for him, the Northwest Circle would probably be dead by now! My man turned the tide and pulled it back, not letting it be shattered to pieces by a wave. So now he is faced with a choice, that is, whether to continue to carry out in-depth management..."

Wang Sicong was stunned.

He seemed to have thought of something and said in an uncertain tone:

"But Lao Xu's ambition is not..."

"That's right. The Silk Road will be held in Fuzhou next year. The organizing committee is directly under the management department. Once it is done, he should be able to get in. But now, in the future he sees, regardless of the so-called lack of ambition, Talking, he faced a very important choice.

That is, if you want to be a reef in this big wave, then the foundation of this reef must be deep enough to be able to stand firm in the wind and rain. But once he takes root... he may not be so free anymore.

In essence, Lao Wang, don't forget, he is a director. He has his own artistic pursuit, which is his lifelong career and love!

But if he wants to take root, then his best choice is to retreat behind the scenes and use his influence to help the factory and the circle complete constraints and planning. We reject those idiots and give some actors and directors who are down-to-earth in acting and directing a way to survive in troubled times and still pursue art and the essence of movies! "

"..."

This time, Wang Sicong completely understood.

I understand why my friend is so worried. It can be said that his brows are furrowed.

Because essentially, this has nothing to do with the general environment.

The decision that Lao Xu now faces is whether to sacrifice his "career" for this rock.

That is the responsibility of being a director.

Of course, that doesn't mean he won't be able to make movies in the future.

However, he will definitely be very busy in the future.

Because once you step behind the scenes...if you don't mention anything else, just be a producer.

He has to participate in the work of directing, casting, and even more behind-the-scenes work.

These tasks may not seem like much at first glance, but they are actually... very tedious. As the leader of Tianlai, he knows very well how "troublesome" this kind of work is.

Life is not much, but it is broken.

And I have to travel from time to time to check the results of the shooting...

In this busy rhythm, how can I have the time to patiently polish a script for half a year, a year, or even two or three years like before?

Totally impossible.

But from another perspective, if Lao Xu could retreat behind the scenes, then his worries would basically disappear.

I won’t say what the private capital investment companies will do, but I will say that there will definitely be no problems with the Xiying Film Studio, a gold-lettered brand that is well-known both domestically and internationally.

If nothing else, let’s just say that the kind of thing where investors want to use some high-traffic idiot as a supporting role will never happen.

Who doesn't know that Lao Xu's crew is famous for being "aloof".

Even if you give a role to a friend, your friend's acting skills must first pass.

Only with passable acting skills and a reliable director can a good story be presented to the audience.

"It turns out... what Lao Xu is struggling with is this..."

Wang Sicong showed a clear look.

Then I heard Yang Mi ask:

"How's it going? Is there any way?... Or in other words, do you have any ideas?"

"Well……"

He shook his head slightly:

"You also asked me to think about it, but this matter... to be honest, it's hard to understand."

"Absolutely, otherwise he would be so entangled?"

"Um……"

As he spoke, he put out the cigarette.

He leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought again.

At this time, Yang Mi continued:

"Shishi means, there is no need to rush."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"It means that Xu Xin is young. He is not yet 30. She told me that in the folk arts industry, Xihe drum may be popular in the past five years, and the audience will like cross talk in the next five years.

In matters of art, audiences and artists influence each other. When an artist from a certain genre makes an industry popular, everyone rushes in like swarms and the venue is full. But after the freshness wears off, there will be a new wave of new people entering the industry.

It also applies to our circle.

She feels that the audience has a bottom line of tolerance for those shoddy things. Once the bottom line of tolerance is gone, they will naturally not pursue it.

Therefore, what she means is that there is no need to be so pessimistic. The audience can tolerate you once or twice, but they will never tolerate a celebrity who only needs acting but has no acting skills and has nothing but a lot of popularity to appear three or five times in the play.

Therefore, even if it goes as Xu Xin expected in the future, and everyone is looking for some popular idiot with no acting skills to star in a movie, it will only take three to five years at most before people wake up and the movie will It's like going through reincarnation and returning to the original path.

Art has a "cycle". "

"...This makes sense. Has she told Lao Xu?"

"without."

Yang Mi shook her head:

"This is what we just talked about. Just after we finished talking, you came over. I didn't have time to tell him."

"say what?"

Suddenly, there was a confused sound from behind.

The two of them turned around and saw a sleepy Xu Xin, shirtless and wearing big underpants, appearing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Are you awake?"

Yang Mi said with a smile.

Xu Xin nodded:

"Well, your daughter wet the bed, and she needs someone to come over and change the linen."

"..."

Yang Mi's mouth twitched.

"How long has it been?...She didn't pee before going to bed just now?...Where is Mengmeng!?"

"I do not know."

As soon as Xu Xing shook his head, Wang Sicong said:

"When I first came here, I saw her diving with a handsome instructor."

"..."

"..."

The couple looked at each other speechlessly.

After a few seconds, Yang Mi sighed as if she had resigned herself to her fate:

"Your great assistant!"

Xu Xin also nodded slightly:

"Well, you found a good assistant."

Let’s not talk about the second brother, our eldest brother.

These two chapters are not actually Che Zulun's words, nor are they saying that Xu Sanjin wants to be a saint. It is the introduction to the final ending of the plot.

Xu Xin has never been a saint. His dilemma is a choice based on selfish desires, not to "show his saintliness in front of others."

You have to explain it clearly, otherwise the mentality change will become very deliberate.
