I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 108 106. The power of idols

When Sun Ting came back with an umbrella, the owner of the barbecue stall was a little confused.

And the boss saw that it was really difficult for her little girl to carry a big umbrella at home, so he quickly went over to help her, and asked who borrowed it from, and he would return it later.

But she didn't explain, it was just that some people were not very good at handling this umbrella.

After handing it over to the boss, he sat back down.

When he handed the wallet back to Xu Xin, he just listened to this... The man with a slightly domineering style said calmly while holding a cigarette in his mouth:

"I don't care about the box office or not. What I like is the process of making movies."

"...?"

Sun Ting was a little confused and couldn't figure out what she was talking about while walking. The topic changed from Jay Chou to Xu Xin.

And at this moment... the patter of rain has fallen.

Four people crowded in front of a small table, guarding a barbecue and a few bottles of beer, listening to the sound of rain outside...

Pedestrians running or hurrying were incompatible with them.

It's as if the world is spinning but I am staying in the same place.

It felt amazing.

At this time, Jay Chou asked:

"You don't care, but the investors do. What should I do?"

“It’s all over if I invest my own money.”

Xu Xin glanced at him with a "you are so weird" look... then shook his head and pointed at Yang Mi:

"When we were in Yanjing before, we went to listen to cross talk... Do you know what cross talk is, right?"

"I know, Wanwan Province also has it."

And Sun Ting glanced at Sister Mimi vaguely...

what's the situation?

Isn't it... the relationship between the unspoken attempt and the potential target?

Still listening to cross talk?

She became more and more confused about the relationship between the two.

After all, from tonight's meal to this moment... she could tell that the relationship between the two was really not an ordinary relationship.

That... sense of intimacy and trust that comes naturally...

You can't fool people.

The doubt in her heart became bigger and bigger.

Xu Xin continued:

"She took me there. There was a man named Guo Degang. Have you heard of him?"

"No, is it very famous?"

"...It's okay, it's quite popular recently...I'm not talking about this person, I mean I heard a saying from someone else, which I think is very reasonable, it's called: How big is the bowl, how much rice is eaten. People. Well, if you have a clearer understanding of your abilities, you won’t be blind when investing. For example, for me, my current definition of myself is that I can invest ten or twenty million casually. I might consider it for three or five thousand, but I won’t consider it for more than one hundred million. Already..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Xu Xin said, looking at the twitching expressions of the muscles on the three people's faces, and asked:

"What's the matter?"

"...You old man has a really high starting point~"

Even though they were boyfriends, the girl who was able to complain even though she was drinking was a critical blow, which hit the hearts of Jay Chou and Sun Ting.

And Jay Chou couldn't help but nod:

"Please, can you please be more down to earth?"

"..."

Looking at the expressions of the two people, Xu Xin was stunned for a moment and then suddenly became happy.

He turned to his girlfriend and asked:

"Hey, did your uncle and aunt give you pocket money when you were a kid?"

"Here."

"How much is it usually?"

"Just...five or ten yuan. Then when I was in high school, it was more, about fifty a week...I was even cheated when I bought his tapes."

The girl pointed at Jay Chou:

"When "Eight Dimensions of Space" was released, I bought it from a small cart. The man said that there was only one opened box left. It was cheaper and he sold it to me for five yuan... It was dark at the time, so I didn't read it. As a result, Only when I got home did I see that what was in the box was not "Eight Dimensions of Space" at all, but "Jay Chou's Golden Songs"..."

"...Please, when did I release a mixed album like "Golden Songs"?"

After saying that, he couldn’t hold himself any longer:

"You supported me, but ended up buying a pirated version, and were you deceived?"

"...I'm so sad anyway!"

"Haha~"

Holding the wine glass and touching the girl again, he turned to Xu Xin and asked:

"Why are you talking about pocket money?"

"Because the investment I'm talking about is my pocket money."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Xu Xin looked innocent:

"Just like the five or ten yuan in your pocket, I can spend the ten or twenty million however I want."

"屮!"

"Cup!"

"..."

After being completely speechless, Yang Mi sighed:

"Brother, how about we make money and spend it ourselves, okay?"

"What I spend now is what I earn, whether it's this umbrella, this meal, or the milk tea I treat you to. My monthly salary is six to seven thousand!"

Before Xu Xin finished speaking, Jay Chou said stupidly:

"Then what are these ten or twenty million?"

"Pocket money!"

"..."

"..."

In the increasingly absurd gazes of Yang Mi and Sun Ting, Jay Chou asked:

"Is there any difference?"

"Of course I do. My dad gave me the pocket money, and I earned my salary myself. Why? Don't you want more pocket money than your salary? Is this the logic of a gangster?"

"..."

Don't tell me yet...

Looking at Xu Xin's confident expression...

The three of them muttered in their hearts:

"Rely on the cup..."

"like……"

"It makes so much sense!"

Xu Xin, on the other hand, looked at him in a daze, but nodded slightly, holding a wine glass, and said amidst the patter of rain:

"Come on, come on, let's go~ Today's meal is for salary. Next time, let's find a Yan Bao Chi restaurant and we can eat for pocket money! Come on, come on~"

…

be honest.

Jay Chou had a good meal and a good drink tonight.

Not drunk.

But very comfortable.

This kind of relaxed atmosphere of listening to the sound of rain, reveling in the mood of enjoying the rain and the wind, exchanging glasses of wine with friends, chatting and smiling...

In addition, since there are no people on the road, there is no need to worry about being disturbed.

He hadn't felt it in a long time.

The meal seemed to be quite unsatisfactory.

He stood up with his slightly drunk body, letting the rain from the big umbrella fall on the small umbrella above his head, and dripping down at his feet.

The fragrance of the earth made him feel happier.

"Hey, let's go. I have to call Patty when I get back..."

"Hey~~~~"

Xu Xin looked disgusted.

At the same time, he opened his umbrella and turned to look at Sun Ting, who was carrying two large bags of midnight snacks. Without thinking much, she stretched out her hand:

"Give me the heavy bag."

"no, I'm fine……"

Sun Ting quickly shook her head.

How dare she...

But Xu Xin couldn't help but take the bag of mutton skewers from her hand.

Quite heavy, not light.

There are ten skewers and ten skewers divided into small packets. You can take them back and divide them later.

The elder brother was very enthusiastic and wrapped it up with tin foil that he got from nowhere. He had been sitting on the stove to keep it warm, but it didn't get cold at all.

"Brother, let's go."

Yang Mi happily waved towards the boss.

"Hey, walk slowly, brothers, come back next time."

"Okay~"

Four folding umbrellas walked on the rain-beating pavement towards the hotel.

Jay Chou, who was smacking his mouth while walking, said:

"That Yang Bao is not bad."

"I'll try it some other time. I think the baked ones are good. Bao... steamed buns, what do you think?"

"..."

Yang Mi rolled her eyes.

Brother, have you drunk too much?

Why is your mouth getting bigger and bigger?

They all said they were pretending not to know each other...

So she didn't answer the question at all and just yawned:

"Let's go quickly and go back to sleep."

"Um."

The four of us arrived around 11:30, and Yang Mi ordered three or four portions for midnight snacks, while Xu Xin gave the rest to Xu Xin.

On the fifth floor, the girl took Sun Ting away.

On the 20th floor, Xu Xin said goodbye directly to Jay Chou, who also started to yawn:

"Playing ball tomorrow?"

"beat!"

"OK, good night."

"Well, good night."

Xu Xin, carrying a bag of barbecue, knocked on Wei Lanfang's door.

the other side.

"Dong dong dong."

"Who?"

"Senior brother, I am Mimi."

"Mimi?"

Huang Xiaoming's voice sounded a little confused. Then he opened the door and saw a girl with blushing cheeks handing over two plastic bags:

“BBQ late night snack.”

"Well……"

Huang Xiaoming was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly:

"I want to stay in shape..."

But after saying that, he still looked around to make sure no one saw him, and then took it:

"Thank you!... Come in and sit down for a while?"

"No, I'll send it to others. Good night, senior brother~"

"Um……"

Huang Xiaoming responded, and when Yang Mi had just taken two steps, he suddenly said:

"Hey, Mimi, shall I visit you later?"

"OK."

Yang Mi agreed without any hesitation.

It looks extremely simple.

same……

"Dong dong dong."

"...Who is it?"

Listening to Liu Yifei's movements in the room, the girl said:

"I."

"Mimi?"

The door was opened and Liu Yifei looked at Yang Mi:

"What's wrong...are you drinking?"

"A little bit."

The girl smiled and handed over the late-night snack in her hand. She looked at the girl who looked like a fairy after taking off her makeup:

"Aunt Liu isn't here, right?"

"Um...hehe."

When she saw the bamboo sticks in the plastic bag, Liu Yifei also smiled.

For actors who need to stay in shape, the temptation of a barbecue for a late-night snack is really a bit big.

"Don't tell Aunt Liu."

"...Hehe, I know."

"Well, I'm leaving then."

"Yeah, good night~"

In this way, after giving away a barbecue with several actors, the girl walked back to her room.

"Good night, Tingting."

Without any unnecessary words, Yang Mi waved her hand to Sun Ting.

"Okay, Sister Mimi."

After Sun Ting watched the other party enter the house, she took out the key card and returned to the house.

After returning to the house, she did not take a shower, but simply washed herself.

Even when I was washing, I kept the bathroom door open and the water flow was very small.

After washing her face, she returned to the desk, opened her work diary, and began to record Sister Mimi's taste preferences.

But I never had the heart to label the words "heavy taste"...

Just know it yourself.

While writing, thinking, and paying attention to the movement at the door.

Then about half an hour later, suddenly, she heard the sound of opening the door.

Sun Ting immediately put down her pen and walked quietly to Mao's eyes.

At the door, Sister Mimi, who was still wearing a headscarf on her face, happened to leave the house and walked towards the elevator. Before leaving, she glanced at her door.

"1, 2, 3, 4..."

Sun Ting began to count down in her heart.

After waiting for a minute, she quietly opened the door.

Look towards the corridor for the first time.

There was no one at the elevator entrance.

Thinking of this, the girl pulled out the room card and rushed to the elevator. I rushed all the way to the elevator shaft, and as expected, I saw an elevator going up slowly.

Layer, layer, and layer.

Finally, the elevator stopped at the 20th floor.

After pausing for a while, the descent began.

Sun Ting seemed a little nervous, but still pressed the down button.

After the elevator coming down from the 20th floor came to a stop on the fifth floor, the elevator cabin was empty and there was nothing.

"..."

Sun Ting didn't go in.

He just returned to the house silently.

This time, she turned on the TV directly and lay back on the bed.

Holding the mobile phone in his hand, he started to stare blankly.

He seemed to be thinking about something.

…

"Buzz~~~"

After blow-drying her hair, the girl looked at her boyfriend sitting in front of the desk, walked directly behind him, and posted her whole body:

"I am leaving?"

The fragrant smell made Xu Xin instinctively narrow his eyes.

Full of enjoyment and reluctance, turned into one sentence:

"...Won't you stay a little longer?"

"I won't wait any longer."

Yang Mi shook her head:

"I just want to see if she understands that she is of the same mind as me, so I still have to avoid suspicion. If she stays for a ten or twenty, she can still find an excuse and say she went to someone else's place. But it's really hard to explain if she stays for a long time ~ bear with me , in three to five days at most, you will know what this person is like. If she is smart, then I will not treat her as an outsider in the future. Our affairs... she only knows what she wants to know, and she can also help us cover up."

"……Um."

Letting her rub his face, Xu Xin responded:

"I think this girl is fine."

"It's not bad, I'm very careful in my work, but you still have to look at whether you're strict with your words and whether you understand your own position, right?"

As she spoke, she kissed her boyfriend on the face:

"MUA~"

Stand up straight:

"I am leaving."

"Good night."

"Hmm~"

The girl waved her hand and left directly.

Xu Xin was full of regrets for not having a free hug tonight, but there was nothing she could do.

Who told him to be a clown and dig his own holes?

But...it seems like Sister Zeng approves of her acting skills.

Is it possible...

Am I born with unspoken rules?

He pinched his chin and thought secretly.

The first day of testing Sun Ting, CUT.

The second day of testing Sun Ting, ACTION.

"Tingting, are you up?"

Before 8 o'clock in the morning, Yang Mi's phone call came on time.

And Sun Ting, who got up early and dozed off on the bed after being fully dressed, quickly responded:

"Get up, sister."

He quickly got up from the bed, held up the phone and asked:

"Want to go down for breakfast?"

"Well... not yet. I have to go filming today. You go downstairs to buy four bottles of water first and then come to the gym to meet me."

"OK."

Thinking that Sister Mimi was tired from working out, she quickly came downstairs. When she arrived at the gym with a bag of water... she immediately saw two figures playing ball there.

Xu Xin and Jay Chou? !

And next to him, there was a figure standing still, as if... making some kind of action.

It is Sister Mimi.

She quickly walked into the arena, and then heard:

"Xu Ke, good shot~"

"It's okay, Zhou Ai, come on, come on, you can guide me and see how good my butterfly steps are."

"...A breakthrough on the right?"

"No, no, no, no, Zhou Ai, you think too highly of me. I can't reach your level where I know you are going to the right but can't stop you. I'll watch, okay?"

"Sure."

Why did these two people quietly change their names?

Sun Ting was a little confused, but she still walked to Yang Mi:

"Sister Mimi, we bought some water."

"Um."

The girl who finished her stance responded and said to the two people in the field at the same time:

"I'll put the water here for you, I'm going to film."

"...Don't be too tired, be careful, and pay attention to safety, you know?"

After Xu Xin gave a series of instructions, while Jay Chou was focusing on preventing a breakthrough, he just jumped on the spot...

"...Isn't it a butterfly wearing a flower?"

"A soldier never tires of deceit~BABY~General~"

"..."

During the fight between the two, Yang Mi said to Sun Ting:

"Is he handsome?"

"Well……"

Although Sun Ting knew exactly who Sister Mimi was talking about.

But she didn't know how to answer...

Yang Mi didn't care and smiled:

"Let's go."

"……OK."

…

Throughout the day, Yang Mi and Sun Ting stayed with the crew of "The Condor".

It was after 3 o'clock in the afternoon that she said goodbye to the crew and left with Sun Ting.

It didn't rain today. At noon, we got the news that we could film normally. When we took a taxi from the crew of "The Condor" and arrived at Daming Palace, Yang Mi gave instructions:

"Okay, I'll go inside to film, you don't have to wait for me, just go back to the hotel... Oh, that's right."

She took out a hundred dollars from her folding wallet:

"The sour bayberries are in season these days. Buy some back. Ask the boss to divide them into two parts. One part is for us and the other is for Xu Xin. Remember."

"……OK."

"Well, go ahead, go ahead."

With a wave of her hand, the girl entered the Daming Palace directly with her work permit.

Sun Ting held the hundred yuan in her hand and went directly to the bus station.

When Sister Zeng left, Sister Mimi also returned the rented business car.

According to her, young actors should have the self-awareness of young actors. Otherwise, it will easily float...

Whether it's floating or not, Sun Ting doesn't know.

She only knows...

Sister Mimi seems... she really doesn't regard herself as an outsider...

She and...this Xu Xin...

Is it really like what Sister Zeng said?

Why do you think it doesn't look like it, no matter how you look at it?

Recalling the domineering but not disgusting display of his character last night when he was drinking, and the considerate one in the end who carried the heaviest bag of late night snacks and allowed himself to walk back carrying the light vegetable late night snacks. man……

Such people……

No matter how you look at it, it seems to be different from what Sister Zeng said.

Besides...if that was the case, why did Sister Mimi secretly go to see him last night?

And...you still care about him that much? Do you think about him in everything?

She was getting more and more confused.

…

"Hello, teacher."

"Oh, it's you, hello."

Yang Mi raised her head and saw the two palace maids behind her, and said hello with a smile.

Then……

Zhao Liying, who was more courageous, plucked up the courage to speak and asked politely:

"Teacher, are we going to have a show today?"

"without."

Yang Mi shook her head:

"Today I will still take the group portrait that I didn't finish that day."

"... Then the reason why you came so early is..."

"Come and learn."

Yang Mi shrugged and pointed to the large and small handwriting written in black pen on her script:

"Not every actor can join Director Zhang's crew, so they should take this opportunity to learn more."

"Well……"

Zhao Liying seemed to want to say something more, but at this moment, a voice came from behind:

"What are you two doing?"

Including Yang Mi, three people turned their heads at the same time.

Zhao Liying was instantly startled...

Dog face...ah no, Director Xu is here!

"Hello, Director Xu."

Zhang Jiao immediately said hello and gave her friend a hand.

Zhao Li realized after the movie:

"Hello, Director Xu."

"Um."

Xu Xin nodded and said:

"Is it time for you two to put on makeup? Tonight there is a scene where the queen and the prince welcome the emperor back. You two should perform well. I will place you two in front of you just after entering the door. This scene requires physical fitness, so take good care of yourself. Do."

"OK."

Zhang Jiao nodded quickly.

Zhao Liying looked a little excited and responded:

"Thank you, Director Xu!"

"...Yeah. Go ahead."

Xu Xin waved his hand.

"Goodbye teacher, goodbye Director Xu."

The two of them greeted politely and then left. Xu Xin then sat under the tent and asked:

"What were we talking about just now?"

"No, we're just talking about things in the show... Stay closer to me, I've just sprinkled Fengyoujing here."

"Yo? Aren't you afraid of being seen?"

Xu Xin smiled and moved his little horse.

"Tingting is not here again."

Yang Mi shook her head:

"But today I can see it a little bit, and she seems to understand it in her heart. But she probably hasn't guessed the specific relationship between us yet..."

"When are you going to point it out?"

"To be clear, when my play is finished, I will ask Sister Zeng to come again. Then I will have to see what will happen after the two of them meet. But recently, there have been some things that I won't hide. chant."

"...Tsk."

Xu Xin looked a little speechless:

"Why is it so troublesome to find an assistant?"

"Because the assistant is the one who is closest to the artist. She knows all your living habits, big and small things...so you must choose the right one. If she is considerate, and I can feed you in the future, I will She will never go hungry. But if you are the kind of person who can't recognize where she is, then keep looking. By the way, let me tell you something."

"how?"

"Huang Xiaoming and Liu Tianxian want to come over to visit the class in two days. Do you think it's appropriate?"

"...Visiting your class?"

"right."

"this……"

Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

"Let me talk to Director Zhang, how about it? Their visit to the class should be just to meet Director Zhang, right?"

"Um."

"Then I'll ask Director Zhang...leave this matter to me and leave it alone."

Hearing her boyfriend's words, Yang Mi felt warm in her heart:

"Hehe~"

"What are you laughing at?"

"...How about you become my assistant?"

"Did you drink fake wine?"

Xu Xin looked surprised.

But the girl shook her head:

"No, no, no, I'm serious... Why are you so considerate? With you here, I feel like I don't have to think about anything... I just hide in your arms and do whatever else I want~ "

"...the story that the big star Yang Mi and her assistant have to tell?"

"Hey hey hey~"

Looking at the girl's crescent-like eyes, I don't know if it's because of her boyfriend's "big star" or something else.

All in all, it looks like a lot of fun.

Xu Xin was also happy. The two of them were squatting under the tent, watching the busy crew there, hey hey hey, I was hahaha, let alone...

It feels a little sweet even from a distance.

The kind that is so sweet that it makes you sick.

Then……

After waiting for a while, the crew started to show up.

After the extras and crew arrived one after another, Xu Xin saw at a glance Wei Lanfang and Ma Wen walking toward him with a box in their hands.

"Xiao Xu, come."

"...Two big grievances are here."

Xu Xin muttered to his girlfriend, and then...

The two boxes were placed in his arms:

"There are a hundred sheets in total. Hurry, Jay Chou's car is right behind. Please sign it quickly."

These two sisters really didn't treat him as an outsider.

Calling him is like calling his third grandson.

Xu Xin sighed helplessly:

"Director Ma, Sister Wei... I am also a director after all. Will this make me look too cheap?"

"Go quickly, I've already promised to take out 7 tickets."

Ma Wen urged:

"I'll ask Sister Wei to get you some package tickets for the National Center for the Performing Arts later, and invite you and Mimi to watch the show in the box."

"...Isn't that place not built yet?"

"Yes, I'll give it to you after it's completed."

"...Bad promise?"

Looking at Xu Xin who looked ridiculous, Yang Mi also said:

"Go quickly. If you don't look, I'll show it to my parents. What a great way to take advantage~"

"What a fart... Didn't you ask people to sign a hundred names in total?"

Xu Xin rolled his eyes.

But at this time Jay Chou's car also arrived...

Xu Xin sighed as if he was resigned to his fate, held two boxes, glanced angrily at the two resentful people, and walked directly towards Jay Chou's car.

Before they even got there, the car door was already pushed open.

Jay Chou, who had just gotten off the business car, looked as if he had eaten shit:

"Hey, aren't you...don't go too far..."

"Don't buy this set. I paid for it and bought it from Xinsuo through formal channels. These 100 copies cost more than 2,000 yuan. You can make a few hundred yuan at least! Hurry!"

"...Why don't I give you a few hundred yuan back?"

"Do you think I care about your few hundred dollars? ...Come here and help me, hurry up, I'll be relieved early, people can't wait."

“...I’m signing autographs for others, and you still have to move them myself?”

He looked ridiculous.

Anyway.

In the end, Jay Chou stopped struggling.

After waiting for a while, when the two of them walked out one after another, Xu Xin was satisfied, but he was flexing his wrists, with the same expression on his face as the angry little daughter-in-law...

He is too much~

Xu Xin put the box on the ground under the smiling eyes of the two resentful sisters:

"Here, there are a hundred of them in there... You two go and share them. I don't want them anymore, okay? Let's break up and say goodbye. From now on, the mountains and rivers will grow, and the two heroes..."

"No."

Before Xu Xin finished speaking, Ma Wen pursed her lips:

"How can we move it if it's so heavy? You're not allowed to help us move it to the car?"

"..."

Xu Xin’s mouth twitched:

"You two just carried it here by yourself."

"Can it be the same? How heavy is this thing now?"

"...What's going down? Just sign your name and it's going down?"

Looking at Xu Xin's ridiculous look, Ma Wen nodded heavily:

"Xiao Xu."

"……what?"

"This is called the power of idols."

"..."

Please give me a monthly ticket! ! !
