I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Some worries are destined to be impossible to talk to others.

Even if he faces a wise man who has almost achieved the ultimate in ups and downs in the business world, it won't work.

Therefore, Xu Xin's choice was to finish smoking a cigarette, politely say goodbye and leave.

After wandering around the island for a while, he returned to his residence with nothing to do.

Along the way, there were already more "strangers" looking at him curiously.

But...look at the person, look at the appearance, look at the aura.

These people... don't look like they usually look pampered. Xu Xin guessed that he should be a relative of the seventh brother's family.

Should I say it or not, Brother Qi is really big-hearted.

All the relatives were here, but she was still at the mahjong table.

Sichuan people seem to have a true love for mahjong.

With emotion, he took the lead in nodding politely, saying hello and returned to his room.

He didn't do anything else, so he sat down in the shade of the balcony, with a glass of ice water, a slice of lemon, his legs on another chair, and stared at the blue sea in a daze.

As soon as I sat down, I sat until the sun set.

Not to mention, the climate in the Maldives is also quite amazing.

At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the sky began to rain without warning.

Not too small.

Raindrops pattered on the table in front of him.

He didn't dodge, he just thought it was interesting.

The sun is red, but the rain turns it into crystal clear light.

The sun dyed the sky red, but the ink color infected the sea.

Unconsciously, a sigh emerged in his heart.

It's so beautiful...

Even my clothes and pants are wet.

Even if he was on pins and needles.

…

"What did you do this afternoon? Played in the water? Why are you all wet?"

Yang Mi looked confused.

Xu Xin shook his head slightly and said nothing. He just changed into fresh clothes and said:

"It's not raining there?"

"No, the sunshine is great. Is it raining here? No wonder some places were wet when I came back..."

"Um."

Xu Xin responded.

Lying on his side on the bed, looking at the two children who were already asleep, he unconsciously put his nose next to Yangyang's face and smelled the scent of his son.

Now I feel a little more at ease.

And looking at the two children sleeping so soundly that their breathing was heavy, I knew that they were really tired.

So he said:

"You won't call them tonight, right?"

"No need to shout, we have been playing all afternoon, motor boating and diving... Your son is so brave. Nuan Nuan didn't dare to jump at first, so he put on a life jacket and plunged into the sea... Both of them The children are jumping up and down and are tired of playing.”

"You weren't watching? What if there were sharks?"

"There are security guards."

As Yang Mi said this, she began to apply it left and right in front of the mirror.

Sunbathing is very comfortable, the yacht is great, and the bikini is beautiful...but at the price, this skin will never recover if it is not maintained for three to five days.

She had to take care of it quickly.

While he was talking, the doorbell rang.

Yang Mi said:

"Remember to close the door."

"Um."

Xu Xin walked out of the bedroom, closed the door behind him, opened the door, and saw Lin Li and three people standing at the door.

"Director Xu."

"Well, come in."

After the three people entered the house, Xu Xin took out the shooting plan.

"It starts tomorrow. The three of us will go through the process..."

…

"Where's Lao Xu?"

Wang Sicong looked at Yang Mi who was attending the banquet alone with confusion on his face.

Yang Mi shook her head:

"He's not free, let's just eat. He has already started preparing for the things he will shoot tomorrow, and he will eat with Lin Li and the others later."

As he was talking now, it was obvious that there were more people in the restaurant.

Everyone ate separately and chatted while looking curiously at Yang Mi's table.

Wang Sicong nodded and said:

"Today is not a welcome dinner, but when my mother finishes cleaning up later, we will come over and toast everyone with a glass of wine. Don't leave the table too quickly."

"Know."

Yang Mi nodded, then said to Lang Lang who was pouring wine:

"You will play two songs in a while to help warm up the atmosphere for Lao Wang and the others, and also express your welcome."

"over."

Lang Lang agreed.

When it comes to receiving guests...except maybe people from the previous generation, only those who have been married have experience.

At this table, Yang Mi is obviously the authority.

Jay Chou asked:

"Then do I want to sing?"

"Let's sing a song. Then you two should go ahead a little earlier. Lao Wang, before Aunt Lin and Uncle Wang are ready, you can inform them and let them perform a show alone, warm up the show, and finally introduce the wheel. You guys come out to greet the guests. A glass of wine to catch the wind and wash away the dust.”

"good."

Wang Sicong, who had all stood up, responded and pinched Yang Mi's shoulders with both hands:

"Then you say hello over here, and I'll go over there."

After saying that, he squeezed hard.

Yang Mi nodded:

"Well, leave it to me. It's dark, so be careful when walking with Brother Qi, do you hear me?"

"Okay, Mom."

"..."

Hearing this title, Mao Xiaotong and Shen Mengchen, who were silently acting as transparent persons, twitched their mouths...

Then I looked at a group of people around me who looked like they were used to it.

The two of them began to murmur in their hearts...

Does Sister Mi have such a high status in the minds of this group of people?

She spoke with absolute precision... Based on this, how high is Director Xu's status?

As high as three or four stories?

Yang Mi thought about it for a while, then picked up her phone and sent Xu Xin a message:

"Uncle Wang and the others are going to toast a glass of Jie Feng wine later. Do you want to come to the venue to record a segment?"

Xu Xin replied instantly:

"I'm here with Uncle Wang. I heard about it. Now Lin Li and the others are going to get the camera. They'll be there soon."

"OK."

…

By the time Xu Xin arrived at the scene, the entire restaurant was already buzzing with people.

Of course, the decibel level of this discussion is not particularly high.

There were only a few dozen people in Lao Wang's wedding this time, and most of them were relatives of Brother Seven. Although it was a little noisy, the number of people was actually not that large.

After he arrived, Lin Li began to direct several staff members of the wedding team to help him set up his seat.

Two fixed cameras, a small crane, light source, and a handheld camera in his hand.

The seats were found in these two days, so that every table in the restaurant could be accommodated.

Xu Xin walked to his friend's table and said hello.

Yang Mi held a plate of food and said:

"Padding first?"

"Don't worry, I'm not hungry yet. You two come and bring the receiver... Do you want to open your voice? It will be LIVE in a while."

He said the following words to Jay Chou and Lang Lang.

Jay Chou simply rolled his eyes.

I really won you some money this afternoon, so now you are trying your best to pull it up and push it down, right?

So I simply ignored him.

It’s just that Dani handed over a USB flash drive with his song accompaniment in it.

"Brother Xu, JAY will sing "Listen to Mom" ​​and "Garden Party" later."

Xu Xin was stunned...

"Don't sing songs like "Flight Diary of Love"?"

"Now that we're singing, what should we sing at the wedding? Brother Qi's grandparents are also here. It depends on the old man's blessing. "Garden Party" also fits the current atmosphere very well."

"good."

Xu Xin nodded.

Not to mention Lang Lang.

Although this is not a concert hall...but as long as his hand is still there, everything will be fine.

Seeing this, Xu Xin said no more, turned around and began to cooperate with the team's work and start making arrangements.

After setting it up for about 20 minutes, he received a message from Wang Sicong:

"We're getting ready to go."

"good."

Xu Xin took Lin Li's wireless headphones and put them on his head, then walked onto the small stage of the restaurant.

First I tried the microphone, then pressed a few piano keys.

After confirming that there was no problem, he winked at Langlang.

Lang Lang wiped his mouth, left the table, and walked towards the piano next to the stage.

The movement on the stage naturally attracted the guests present. It was obvious that everyone was curious... Could this be a performance?

But Xu Xin didn't have time to care about everyone's mood.

Just listening to the sound in the headphones and watching the sound director set up several microphones, he gave Lin Li a thumbs up.

It means "Are you ready?"

Lin Li held a handheld camera, focused it, and made an "OK" gesture to Xu Xin.

So, Xu Xin nodded and asked Lang Lang:

"What are you going to play?"

"Just play it as you like. When Lao Wang arrives, just give me a signal."

"good."

Xu Xin stepped aside.

Dressed in beach clothes, he sat down in front of the piano as if he were on a trip with Crayon Shin-chan.

Put your hands on the keys.

While everyone was still curious...a cheerful melody like flowing water had already sounded.

Does it sound good?

If it sounds good, it’s a good piano!

Although Xu Xin didn't know what he was playing...but it sounded really good.

The only pity is that the symphony orchestra has to come to rehearsal tomorrow, otherwise it would be better to sing in this room earlier...

But... as a welcome banquet, the world's top three pianists and Asia's King Jay Chou are definitely enough.

Lin Li took pictures with his hand and retreated to the monitor next to him.

"Unit No. 1 goes around in a circle and takes pictures of all the guests."

Following the sound in the earphones, the photographer of the wedding team began to operate the crane camera step by step according to Director Xu's instructions.

The mercury-like piano melody quickly immersed the guests in this wonderful atmosphere.

At this time, many guests who were listening to this beautiful melody suddenly remembered... how luxurious the lineup of this wedding was.

That was the piano solo at the Olympic Games...

Ding dong.

Xu Xin saw the message on the phone:

"We're at the door, do you want to go in?"

"Come in. But don't go inside, it's right at the door."

After Xu Xin sent the message, he turned around and saw a family standing at the door after the waiter pushed the door open.

There is Lao Wang’s family, the seventh brother, the seventh brother’s mother, grandma and grandpa.

To be honest, he was a little surprised.

Because Qi Ge's grandfather has never been in good health, I originally thought about letting the old man stay in China this time, so don't bother.

As a result, it actually happened this time.

But...it's good to be here.

Happy!

I hope this happy event can dispel the old man's illness and bless him with good health.

Thinking of this, he said into the microphone:

"Wheel, give Langlang a signal, Lao Wang and his family are here."

After hearing this, Jay Chou, who was holding a microphone at the side, nodded slightly and walked to Lang Lang's side.

There is no need to mention the tacit understanding between friends. As soon as he stood next to Lang Lang's piano, Lang Lang knew it was time to finish.

The audio director over there also adjusted the accompaniment on the USB flash drive.

Soon, the loud notes stopped as the fingers left, and the roar of applause gathered on the dome of the restaurant like a stream.

Does it sound good?

no doubt!

This is the strength of the top three pianists in the world, and even the number one pianist in the contemporary era.

Then, amidst the applause, Jay Chou held up the microphone and said:

"A song of "Garden Party" for everyone. Thank you for coming to the wedding welcome dinner of my best friends Mr. Wang Sicong and Ms. Wei Wei. Hey, if you can sing, remember to sing with me~"

Lang Lang was actually also a fan of wheels before they met.

Or……

In Tiannanhaibei F4, three people are his fans.

Um.

And who is not?

But whether it should be said or not, Xu Xin must have made the greatest contribution here.

Even all Jay Chou fans should thank Xu Xin.

It's him!

Successfully made Jay Chou's autograph worthless now.

For this alone, many people have to thank his eight generations of ancestors.

Ahem, I'm off topic.

Anyway...

As the piano melody and accompaniment of the garden party sounded, Jay Chou leaned on the piano, stared in the direction of the door and sang:

"Amber is like sugar in a beautiful distance."

“Your face has no direction…in love!”

"..."

Xu Xin had a dark look on his face.

Especially "Garden Party" was a song that was also sung at his wedding, so he was very familiar with the lyrics.

This second sentence is clearly "I fall madly in love with your face without makeup"...

This bitch forgot his words again!

He was speechless, and then quickly sent Yang Mi a sentence on his mobile phone:

""Garden Party" has to be re-recorded here because he sang the wrong words."

He used Yang Mi's chat box as a notepad.

But Yang Mi replied this time.

"Basically, don't do six, just sit down."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

Fine.

…

"The garden party cartoon is playing, we agreed to visit this world together~"

A song ended when the last line was also sung wrong.

To be honest, none of the older guests here looked particularly excited.

And many of these uncles and aunts only have a concept of wheels: "This is the singer with a bad mouth" and nothing more.

But the slightly younger people are now starting to have stars in their eyes.

"oh!!!!"

"Hua la la la la..."

Amid the applause and cheers, Jay Chou smiled and nodded, and politely thanked the audience at the same time as Lang Lang, who also stood up.

Afterwards, Lang Lang sat down again and the melody of "Listen to Mom" ​​rang out.

"The second song, "Listen to Mom," is for everyone, thank you."

"oh!!!!"

Amid the roaring applause, Jay Chou did not sing the wrong words this time.

Maybe it was because it was released later than "Garden Party", but anyway, he sang it very briskly.

While singing, Yang Mi whispered a few words to Liu Yifei, who was sitting next to her on her right hand.

Liu Yifei nodded and left the table, and found the waiter. After a few words, the waiter brought over a tray and some cups.

One glass contains apple juice and the other glass contains white wine.

After Liu Yifei remembered the location of the juice, she placed the tray in front of Mao Xiaotong and Shen Mengchen and said:

"After Lao Wang and the others come on stage later, as the bridesmaids, one of you will carry the tray and the other will pour wine for them. This cup contains apple juice. Remember not to take it by mistake. Tell Brother Qi later that you can drink without worry. You two have finished handing it over. Don’t stop drinking, just stand aside and be with Jay Chou and the others.”

Shen Mengchen and Mao Xiaotong were stunned at first, then immediately understood the meaning of these words, nodded and started to prepare.

After the last line of "warmth and kindness" was sung, the accompaniment stopped, but the loud piano sound did not stop.

After Jay Chou turned his head and glanced at his friend, he understood what he meant. He took the microphone and said:

"This song is actually mainly for the elders. Here, I wish all the fathers and mothers in the world good health, and then we also invite our protagonists tonight, Mr. Wang Sicong and Ms. Wei Wei, to perform for everyone. Toast, everyone is welcome~~~”

"Hua la la la la..."

In the piano melody of "Listen to Mom", Xu Xin said:

"Old Wang, come on stage. Don't walk too fast, take care of the old man's health."

Wang Sicong nodded, then left the area of ​​his parents and went directly to Si Wei's grandma and grandpa.

Di Wei was also stunned for a moment.

Then his eyes became warmer.

The two young people, mixed with the two elderly people, followed in the footsteps of their parents and walked towards the stage step by step amid the applause of the crowd.

At this time, Yang Mi said:

"You go ahead."

Mao Xiaotong and Mao Xiaotong nodded, stood up with the tray and went over to greet them.

Then, Yang Mi said to Liu Zhishi on her left:

"Shishi, you have good photography skills. You can go to the front and take a picture later."

With that said, Yang Mi reached out and brought Shen Mengchen and Mao Xiaotong's wine glasses to Liu Zhishi.

Liu Zhishi nodded slightly to express his understanding.

In front of the stage, Jay Chou waited for his friends and his family to come on stage, then stood next to Lang Lang and handed the microphone to Wang Sicong.

Wang Sicong held the microphone and handed it to his father with both hands.

At the same time, everyone in the family took their cups.

"Brother Qi, this is apple juice."

"All right."

Si Wei took the cup.

The future mother-in-law next to her glanced at Mao Xiaotong.

Didn't say anything.

The two of them followed Liu Yifei's instructions and retreated to Jay Chou and Lang Lang.

As the "head of the family", Lao Laowang will naturally not be stage frightened by such an occasion.

Just kidding...what kind of storms and waves have you never seen before?

He didn't even blush at this moment. Even if it was his son's wedding, he had a kind smile on his face. He held up the cup and the microphone and said:

"Thank you all for coming to the wedding banquet of my two children..."

Listening to Lao Lao Wang's welcome speech, Liu Zhishi glanced at the two wine glasses in front of her, and suddenly turned to Yang Mi and asked:

"What about Tangtang? Isn't she going to miss this photo?"

Obviously, she basically understood what Yang Mi meant.

The smile on Yang Mi's face remained unchanged, and she said with a skill that showed me that I was listening to the big leader's speech on the surface, but could still make a sound without moving my mouth secretly:

"It's okay. I'll just take her to visit Aunt Lin when she arrives tomorrow. She won't be short of anything."

Liu Zhishi nodded slightly.

Perhaps this photo opportunity in front of you is extremely important to others.

But for her...

There’s really no shortage.

We are all friends of Pa, and if we really want to take a group photo, a 1TB memory card may be full.

It does not matter.

"Finally, I hope all the guests will have a great time at the wedding of our two children. Thank you all. Please!"

As Lao Lao Wang and his wife toasted, everyone raised their cups high to pay tribute to the newlyweds who were about to tie the knot.

At this time, Yang Mi also stood up holding two wine glasses.

Liu Zhishi followed closely behind.

Jay Chou originally wanted to speak as guest host, but he shut up when he saw Yang Mi getting up.

I saw Yang Mi walking quickly to the small stage:

"Auntie, uncle, don't be in a hurry, let's take a photo together. The photographer is here."

Yang Mi said while calling the team photographer over there.

Then, she took the microphone from Lao Laowang and walked towards Jay Chou.

When taking a group photo at the host's house, she took away the tray from Shen Mengchen's hand and handed the two wine glasses to each other's hands exactly:

"You guys also want to take a photo together later."

The two girls were stunned again.

Jay Chou said carelessly:

"I haven't put on makeup yet..."

"It's none of your business."

Yang Mi rolled her eyes:

"Just finish it later."

"Fine."

Jay Chou smashed his mouth.

After the family took a group photo there, Yang Mi said to Mao Xiaotong and Shen Mengchen:

"come on."

"Da Mi, come together."

Wang Sicong shouted.

Yang Mi shook her head:

"You guys can take a photo together, I don't even have any makeup on."

As she spoke, she directed:

"You and Seventh Brother come down the steps and leave the back for the elders. Xiaotong, Mengchen, you two stand on each side..."

Following her command, the formation was quickly adjusted.

After everyone held their cups and left a bright smile in front of the camera, the toasting session was almost over.

After Jay Chou took over the microphone and asked everyone to eat and drink as usual, as the loud piano sound ended, Xu Xin said into the headphones:

"Okay, let's just finish this part. Thank you for your hard work."

…

"Try this shrimp, it's pretty good."

Lao Laowang gave his wife a shrimp.

"I'm full, you can eat."

Lin Tie shook his head and said that after he had finished eating, he looked at his son and daughter-in-law who had sat back at the friend's table and chatted.

She passed by the faces at the table.

Finally it fell on Yang Mi's face.

"well……"

"What's wrong?"

Hearing his wife sigh, Lao Laowang asked.

Lin Tie covered his mouth lightly and said:

"I am also quite satisfied with Xiaowei. But...again, if Mimi can marry into our family, I guarantee that our family will be prosperous for three generations."

As she spoke, she recalled the details she had just observed and said:

"Just now at the door, I watched with my own eyes. She first ordered Liu Yifei to bring the wine. After Liu Yifei gave the wine to the two bridesmaids, she chatted a few words with Shishi. While chatting, she took the glasses of the two girls. Put it in front of her. While you were talking, she came over with the cups of the two girls. After giving the cups to the two girls, she also asked Shishi to come over and take a group photo with us... If you didn't see it, the two girls For such a short time, I am so grateful to her."

"Well……"

Lao Laowang tore off the shrimp skin, glanced in that direction, and shook his head:

"Do you think that kid Xiao Xu is simple?"

"Of course I know who Xiao Xu is. That's why I'm envious... If Xiao Wei can be half as good as Mimi, I tell you, you can prepare to retire now."

When Lin Tie said this, he sighed again with a hint of melancholy:

"well."

"Okay, they have a good relationship and can help each other. Look at this wedding, all aspects of the wedding are good so far. These children can also stand on their own, so don't worry about it."

"As I said, I'm not worried, I'm just envious... the old Xu family has really found a good daughter-in-law."

But she seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly there was a hint of smile in her tone:

"Ha, but...if our eldest grandson and Nuannuan fall in love in the future, it would be great to have such a mother-in-law."

"..."

Lao Laowang was speechless for a while.

My heart says you are thinking too far.

But...you have to admit it.

If that's the case...it doesn't seem bad.

A good wife brings prosperity to three generations.

This is not something I say casually.

…

"Sister Shishi, can you send me a copy of the photos you took?"

"Okay, let's add WeChat."

"Yeah, okay. I'll scan you."

"good."

Liu Zhishi responded, and after giving her the QR code, the two of them added WeChat.

Along with it, Shen Mengchen took the initiative to scan her.

After Liu Zhishi sent her the original picture, he suddenly said:

"Remember, don't fix it. After Lao Wang's wedding is over, you two can send it out, but don't fix it."

Mao Xiaotong obviously didn't react.

Not repairing?

Although……

She looked at the photos sent.

I have to admit, even if it was taken with a mobile phone, the photos are actually very beautiful.

But Xiuxiu should look better, right?

Seeing doubts in her eyes, Liu Zhishi pouted towards Xu Xin:

"Ms. Nishinomiya, do you prefer photos that have been retouched or photos that have not been retouched?"

"..."

Xu Xin’s head is full of black lines:

"If you don't fight for three days, you will be holding back and want to usurp the throne, right?"

Am I becoming the Empress of the West Palace?

We must always be a prosperous Dong Palace!

Then he glanced at the photo she sent and said:

"It's best if it's not photoshopped. Photos that have been photoshopped are unreal. As far as casting is concerned, I can accept artistic photos of actors, but if they are photoshopped too harshly or too white, I can't accept them. I usually pass them."

Obviously, he understood why Shishi would specifically remind these two people.

If a normal person takes a photo with a big boss and posts it on WeChat Moments, Weibo, etc., it will definitely be nothing to do with it.

Make the boss handsome and yourself beautiful to attract more people.

But this photo of the two of them is actually not ugly.

Basically, there is no one who can be a star and show his face who is ugly.

This is the truth.

But as actors, if they want to use this kind of photos to show their presence, it's best not to use photos.

Sometimes director casting needs to take into account many factors, including investors, popularity, appeal, commercial value, etc... But in the final analysis, no matter how many factors are considered, the most important first impression is definitely the face.

And this kind of "real beauty" is sometimes a plus.

At least for me, as a director, compared with such over-the-top beauty photos and this kind of real artistic photos, the latter will obviously have a greater chance.

So, after hearing this, the two of them went from being confused at the beginning to suddenly realizing:

"Okay. Thank you, Sister Shishi, and thank you, Director Xu."

Liu Zhishi smiled slightly.

Xu Xin curled his lips when he saw it.

Isn't she just the Empress of the West Palace?

Pack a big head of garlic.

Consider you pretending to be successful.
