I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 1106 1101 Happy Children's Day

Chapter 1106 1101. Happy Children’s Day

In the morning, Xie was still waiting in the audition hall for his number to be called.

He is "Geng Liangchen 38"...

There are 37 more ahead.

This number is actually quite thirty-eight, but he doesn't have any objections.

Just looking at the crowded audition hall, I sent a message to my wife at around ten o'clock in the morning:

"I shouldn't be able to go back at noon."

His response was a photo.

His daughter Tangdou is holding a very cute pig-shaped toy in her hand and smiling at the camera.

Then came a message:

"Jelly Bean and mommy are waiting for daddy's good news!"

Seeing this, Xie couldn't help but smile on his face.

"Brother, I'm leaving."

Suddenly, he heard this sentence.

Subconsciously, he looked up and found out it was Guan Xiaotong, and quickly nodded politely:

"Hey, okay."

Just now, he had obtained this girl's information on Baidu.

The information was actually not that much, but... when he saw her resume that was almost as good as his own when he was a child, Xie knew that this girl must have a lot of background.

So I also added a sentence:

"You will succeed!"

Guan Xiaotong was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes:

"Hey, thank you, you too! I'm leaving~"

"OK Bye Bye."

Thank you for sending the person away politely.

But he didn’t say anything like “let’s leave a WeChat message”.

No need.

It seemed very abrupt.

Just leave a good impression.

In this way... when this girl becomes prosperous in the future, this good relationship may be able to help him. But if you deliberately leave a WeChat message... the other person is still underage, and his or her parents will inevitably have a bad impression, which will actually outweigh the gains and losses.

A child star reaches his peak when he debuts. After the peak, he plummets to the bottom. Over so many years, he has already developed his own way of communicating.

Not that utilitarian, but at least he's not stupid.

And time passed... Sure enough, after Geng Liangchen walked out at 25, the staff announced the end of the morning audition not long after. They prepared lunch for everyone in the restaurant, and the audition continued in the afternoon.

Xie followed the signs all the way to the canteen. When he saw the completely self-service dishes, he couldn't help but smack his mouth...

He is really wealthy.

Although there is no lobster or shark's fin, you can eat all kinds of abalone, scallops, beef and so on.

Xie has auditioned for many crews, and the crew that manages the meal is already a conscientious crew. There are many people who don't care about the rice... And the actors who care about the food are almost 100% eliminated, leaving only two or three lucky ones to provide such sumptuous meals... Not to mention, the treatment of state-owned enterprises is indeed different. .

Not to mention... After taking a bite, he nodded slightly.

It tastes really good.

After finishing the plate of food, he returned to the audition hall.

No rest.

Nor dared to rest.

God knows if my eyes will be swollen after sleeping this time.

So he continued to read the novel "Master" and maintained that state with the notes he compiled.

But...it was a little noisy in the audition hall.

Many of these people knew each other, and the chatter at the moment made people feel a bit noisy.

Xie thought for a while, took the notebook and walked out.

I sat on the steps in the safe passage and continued to watch.

His original intention in coming here was to stay out of the way.

The safe passage is usually empty.

So, he spread out the materials he prepared one by one and placed them on the steps at hand.

There are a lot of recorded things on this.

Some of the handwriting is very neat, while others simply have a few lines of large characters that take up a page.

These were his recorded inspirations.

How to shape the character of Geng Liangchen and how to express it...

He read the novel, thought, and continued to use the recorded inspiration to compare his inner state.

Watching intently, he suddenly noticed something and raised his head.

Xu Haofeng was standing at the exit of the safety passage in surprise.

Xie recognized the fat man almost at a glance as one of the people who auditioned for him last time, and he knew him.

He is the original author of the novel, a screenwriter, and one of the screenwriters of "The Grandmaster"...

Instinctively thanked him and stood up instantly:

"Hello, Director Xu."

"Uh... um."

Xu Haofeng nodded and planned to go up.

His rest room was relatively close to the safety passage. He had just finished eating and planned to go back and rest for a while.

He was a little surprised by Xie's appearance.

In fact, it wasn't that surprising. It was the kind of thing where when you were about to go upstairs, you looked up and found someone sitting on the steps.

Xie was probably on the fourth step of the stairs. Xu Haofeng was fat and wanted to go upstairs, so Xie had to turn sideways.

but……

Lao Xu glanced at the draft paper spread out on the fifth and sixth steps.

As a writer, he respects words.

We respect everyone's manuscripts, no matter what they are written about.

Even if the status gap between everyone is relatively large, he will not step on or step over.

It's hard work when we meet, it must be Jianghu.

Whether you step on something someone has worked so hard to write or step over it, it is a bit insulting.

Seeing the words is like seeing the face.

Know people by words.

Isn't stepping over someone's face the same as stepping over someone else's face?

So what he meant was that the other party also collected the manuscript paper.

Do you understand?

He understands.

But he thought it was his things that were preventing others from going upstairs, so he quickly lowered his head to clean them up.

There were only a few pages in total, it was light and he moved quickly.

While walking, a gust of wind blew, and the two pages of paper floated downstairs.

Xu Haofeng didn't think much and bent down to pick it up.

And glanced at it unintentionally.

The two pieces of paper in my hand, the first chapter, has a relatively small number of words.

But the characters are larger.

[What the screenwriter wants to see is actually the sword from the north. Beating someone is like hanging a painting. Geng Liangchen's death was not due to Lin Xiwen's fault, but because he only saw the south, which was not popular at the time.

Sitting in a well and looking at the sky - Geng Liangchen.

His death was not unjust, but before he died, he was a frog in a well.

I have never seen the world, but I feel that I am the world. 】

oh?

Wasn't his death unjust?

The sword of the north?

Xu Haofeng became interested.

But this piece of paper only records so much.

He looked directly at the second page.

[Character traits: rogue in the early stage, awe in the middle, and unwilling to accept in the later stage.

Geng Liangchen is not stingy. Like the gangsters in Tianjin.

The gangster temperament cannot be particularly exaggerated.

The whole story is a rule.

Rules are important! ! ! !

He could be interested in his master's wife in the early stages, but after becoming a disciple, no matter what he felt like in his heart, he couldn't raise his head due to the pressure of rules.

The respect for teachers and teachers must be carried out.

You can be rogue in the early stage!

The gangster can’t be too strong!

In the middle of both sides...]

It’s a lot written on paper.

It is written from top to bottom.

Before Xu Haofeng finished reading, Xie's voice sounded:

"Sorry, sorry, Director Xu, please."

Xu Haofeng raised his head and glanced at him.

Then he subconsciously looked back at the way he came.

This side... is the safe passage, which is not in the same direction as the actor audition hall on the second floor.

One on the right and one on the left.

Is it possible that he came specifically to block himself in the safe passage and wanted to show his differences?

It's not that he has a bad heart, it's just that... young actors will do anything to get roles.

This kind of thing is just a small thing compared to a big witch.

However...he gave up this doubt in the next second.

probably not.

The rest rooms provided by Xiying are not fixed.

During the last few days of the audition, his rest room was upstairs in the audition hall.

The audition hall was on the second floor and he was on the fourth floor.

All go up by elevator.

This time, the staff provided us with the second floor.

That's why he didn't take the elevator, but took the emergency passage.

The elevator was on the fourth floor just now and he was too lazy to wait.

And before he came here...from morning to now, he had not been to the rest room.

So... he probably didn't wait for me on purpose.

Thinking of this, he asked:

"Why don't you go to the audition hall to rest? The chairs over there are much more comfortable than this, right?"

The audition waiting room is air-conditioned, and the chairs are not hard plastic but upholstered. With standard executive-level chairs, the audition waiting room can even be used as a small lecture hall for meetings at any time.

The weather was muggy and hot at the moment, and even though the tunnel was shaded, it wasn't cool enough that I wouldn't sweat.

What's more, this leads to the basement.

The air in the safe passage is not that good.

Xie was stunned.

In fact, at this moment, he had many answers to say.

Some are flattering, some are perfunctory, and some reflect their own value...

But under Xu Haofeng's gaze, he finally just told the truth:

"I think it's noisy in there."

"oh."

After getting the answer, Lao Xu nodded, handed the paper back to Queen Xie, nodded slightly, and went directly upstairs.

Xie was left a little embarrassed for a while.

"You walk slowly."

"Um."

Xu Haofeng responded again.

But after walking up to the second floor, he didn't go directly back to the rest room to rest. Instead, he took a few steps to the audition waiting room.

I also heard a somewhat noisy sound.

So, he turned around and returned to his small rest room.

It's about 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Finally it was Xie's turn.

After he walked in, he saw Xu Xin and Xu Haofeng.

But...the advantages of child stars come out at this time.

I’ve seen a lot of scenes, and I’ve worked with celebrities and big names, so I’m not very nervous.

For the literary drama, he chose the scene where he and his traveling companions meet the master’s wife for the first time.

There were staff members playing against him.

After performing for more than a minute and almost 2 minutes, he glanced at Xu Xin who said nothing.

Then I heard Xu Haofeng’s words:

"Play a game you're good at."

Xie politely nodded in response, putting on the Kung Fu airs that had become his body's instinct.

He does a lot of things, from Xingyi to Wing Chun to Bagua...

No one told him to stop, so he kept beating.

As for this set of punches, he actually took longer than Wen Xi.

Until Xu Haofeng shouted stop.

Let him go back and wait for notification.

What he didn't know was that when he went out, Xu Haofeng looked at Xu Xin.

Xu Xin's response was a nod of approval:

"Well, it's really good."

Just now, before he came in, Lao Xu had already talked about the encounter between the two at noon.

He didn't say anything else, mainly the few words he recorded on paper.

There is no need to say anything else, it is all on the resume.

Lao Xu actually spoke for Xie.

But this is not the point for Xu Xin.

The point is, even without Lao Xu telling him, he was very satisfied.

Because he saw the ruffian flavor he wanted in the other person.

Just this point, combined with the sharp kung fu and good acting skills, is enough.

Today is the last day of auditions.

It was busy until almost 6 o'clock in the evening, when everyone finished the audition.

The audition of "Master" also came to an end.

It can't be said that some are happy and some are sad.

Because Xu Xin hasn't given a notice yet.

But for Xu Xin, the work is not over.

He still has to go to Hengdian.

The reason why everyone, including the art director, didn't participate in the audition today was because they went there to check the location.

His current level is destined that as long as he wants to move, there will be countless people to cooperate with him.

Whether it is scene selection or casting, it is the same.

And this time he went to Hengdian to select the scene.

Some scenes can actually be shown to him online. After all, "Master" is not really a big production in the strict sense. Under the condition of reasonable funds, the director can only change the scene or actors.

But Xu Xin is an exception.

The budget of "Master" so far is actually 65 million.

Parentheses: not including publicity.

In the current market, it is really not much.

The money in this circle... seems to be getting more and more hairy.

In the past, movies with hundreds of millions were definitely big productions.

But now... even if others don't mention it, even Xu Xin hears that other directors' works are often hundreds of millions, which makes him really confused.

What kind of movie is it?

So expensive?

I feel that I can't spend the rest of my 65 million, except for the film salary.

But although this is the truth, Xiying will definitely not limit his budget.

Theoretically, this movie can be made with 65 million, but if Xu Xin really lets go, Xiying will give him as much as he wants.

It's just unnecessary.

He is not the kind of madman who builds a city in person just to make a movie.

In his opinion, such behavior is purely for the gray industry.

It's not realistic at all.

He is better at adapting to local conditions.

So, there is a part of the scenery in Hengdian that he has to confirm in person.

And once he leaves, after Children's Day, he will hardly be seen this month.

But fortunately, there is still his child's mother at home.

When he is doing something wrong outside, she can always stay in the central military camp.

At night.

Amid the noise of the children, he personally finalized the actors for all the main roles.

As for the remaining extras, or the supporting roles who show their faces but have no names. He didn't care.

He delegated power to Xue Yong.

The factory is getting better and better. The more prosperous it is, the more people's hearts cannot be scattered.

Give what should be given, and kill what should be killed.

There can be no ambiguity.

Qi Lei is like this, and so is he.

After drawing up the list, he showed it to Yang Mi.

Chen Shi-Liao Fan

Zhao Guohui-Song Chen

Geng Liangchen-Xie

Tea Girl-Guan Xiaotong

Female Apprentice-Naza

After reading the list, she nodded:

“Okay.”

Xu Xin rolled his eyes:

“I asked you to look, not to give your opinion. If you say yes, then yes? What if you say no?”

Yang Mi shrugged indifferently:

“Then no.”

“Wow, you have a lot of power.”

“Who said no? I’m the female behind a famous director.”

The moment she said this, Xu Xin frowned.

Hmm?

"You..."

"Hehe."

The actress, who was smiling but had already approached a director within three steps, exhaled sweetly:

"You flew directly to the United States after Hengdian... God knows how long it will take to see you again. Mr. Director, I am also a girl..."

"Can you straighten your tongue?"

"It's a little bit difficult, Mr. Director, are you a good girl?"

"..."

For a moment, Xu Xin didn't know what to say.

Why do I feel that she is a very good driver now.

...

June 1st.

Yang Mi's arrangement is actually quite simple.

She has a parent group.

It's not organized by the school, but by the parents of the children's class. She is also there, and this June 1st, Yang Mi sent out an invitation, inviting the children and parents in the class to visit Brother Qian'er.

In fact, it was not initiated by Yang Mi, but before that, everyone talked about where to take the children on June 1st. Yang Mi thought that the horse farm was quite good, where they could have BBQ, go fishing, and take the children to ride ponies, which should be very happy.

As soon as she mentioned it, almost everyone in the group agreed.

In fact, in Xu Xin's opinion, the parents of their kindergarten are also quite talented.

A tuition fee of 200,000 yuan a year is not really the top level in Yanjing. Xu Xin heard from his wife that there is a kindergarten in Yanjing that charges 800,000 yuan a year in tuition alone. He almost dropped his jaw when he heard it.

It's not that he can't afford it, but he can't figure out what a group of kindergarten children have to eat every day to spend the food expenses.

But fortunately, the parents of the kindergarten may all have a certain social status, and they are quite harmonious.

Everyone has confirmed the June 1 plan. After Yang Mi called Qian'er to tell him about this, Qian'er agreed immediately.

Oh my god... No.

Tianjin Dihua Pet Paradise was closed on June 1st, and was specially for these cute little guests.

So, early in the morning on June 1st, the whole family went out together and rushed directly to the horse farm.

Yang Dalin was holding a set of fishing gear in his hand.

In fact, most of the friends who are familiar with Brother Qianer’s zoo now call it "horse farm".

The reason is very simple. Those monkeys, chickens and other animals are basically gone. The chickens and ducks raised now are basically used as dishes for Brother Qianer to entertain friends.

In middle age, the rock and roll veteran in Beijing has found his true favorite.

Horse.

He used to raise ponies, but now he starts to play horse racing and equestrianism.

He even set up an equestrian club and developed towards a professional level.

It’s also good.

Apart from anything else, at least the children have a place to play.

But Nuannuan has no interest in riding horses. She prefers to go into the doghouse or look back to pick the dog...

Everyone dares to get close to Sneeze at home, except Nuannuan who brought it back... That really has to tuck the tail when walking next to her.

Yangyang, on the other hand, had no interest in riding horses.

But he liked to sit on the grass in the horse farm and watch the horses graze.

As for Xu Xin...

His hobby was even more direct.

Drink!

The family of six went out after breakfast. Although they encountered a traffic jam, they arrived at the horse farm at less than 9:30.

Yu Qi had already gotten up and greeted them in person with a smile.

It was not because the visitor was so formal, but to show off his door.

There was a banner hanging on the door, welcoming Xu Xin to come...

Okay, just a joke.

"Welcome the children of Qingmiao International Kindergarten to come and give us guidance."

After Xu Xin got off the car, he looked at Brother Qianer who was laughing there, and glanced at the words "come and give us guidance". He thought, just wait and see, today I will tire your ponies to death.

When the leaders come to inspect, the most tired are the workers.

Today I changed to working horses.

While letting Yan exchange pleasantries, they entered the horse farm... I have to say that Brother Qianer really put a lot of thought into these children.

The ponies have been released.

And each one looks very clean.

It looks like they have been bathed.

It must be attractive enough for children... Except for Nuannuan and Yangyang.

The two children didn't even bother to look at them.

"Dad, I'm going to find the dog!"

Nuannuan said a word and ran out.

"Xiaolong, go and watch her."

Yu Qi hurriedly ordered.

Xiaolong, the godson and also a crosstalk actor of Deyun Society, nodded and followed.

Yangyang... His eyes began to turn around at this moment.

"Uncle, I want to play with Brother Yangyang."

Yu Siyang, the eldest son of Brother Qianer.

He has his own small refrigerator... Brother Qianer doesn't really control the beverage aspect. When Yu Siyang was only two or three years old, he already took the child to drink tea.

But... maybe it's a matter of taste, Yu Siyang is not very keen on drinks.

But Yangyang saw that there was not enough Coke.

Most of the Coke in Yangyang's small refrigerator was left for him.

The two children also have similar tastes.

They both like big sisters.

Pretty big sisters.

But there are also differences.

Yu Siyang likes to be hugged by pretty big sisters.

But Yangyang likes to stare at people.

Whoever wears black stockings will be stared at.

Because of this, Xu Xin has been scolded by Yang Mi.

Now even Fei Xianer knows to try not to wear stockings when going to Xu's house.

Children don't know how to control their hands, so they are not afraid of touching... If the stockings are snagged, the Balenciaga stocking worth more than 1,000 yuan will be gone.

Money is not important, but it can't be wasted like this.

Of course, this is only Yangyang... If Xu Sanjin is touched and the stockings are snagged, then what awaits him may be the scene of Sanjiangshui VS Yixiantian.

The two children died when they arrived at the horse farm.

Parents don't mind.

There is no way, they come so often, even Xu Xin and Yang Mi don't come as often as these two kids. The old father-in-law brings the two kids to fish every day when he has nothing to do. When the fish with oral ulcers see him, they start to float on the water and curse.

The curse is fierce and ugly.

The fish's teeth hurt when they see Yang Dalin.

Who said that fish only have a memory of seven seconds?

"It's just right that you're here. I'll call Dalin and ask him to come quickly."

Yu Qi said as he walked inside with a cigarette in his mouth.

High spirits:

"Let me show you the changes in Dalinzi, I guarantee you will be shocked."

"Has he lost a lot of weight? I've seen his circle of friends."

After hearing what Yang Mi said, Yu Qi was even more excited:

"The photo is different from the real person... You can tell at a glance! This kid knew you were coming today, and he went home last night, so he started to dress himself up. That's really different..."

Yang Mi was speechless:

"We both watched him grow up, it's not like this, right?"

Yu Qi laughed even more happily:

"Haha, you two will know when the time comes... He has changed more than Xiaobing."

Shaobing has indeed changed a lot.

The little fat boy with freckles on his face in his early years has now become... well, how do you say that word?

The national air conditioner.

As the younger brother in "Running Man", he is the youngest and has the smallest brain, but as soon as the female guest comes... he immediately turns into a standard big warm man.

He takes good care of the female guest.

At first, everyone thought Shaobing was a very talented person.

But after a few episodes, it's not the same.

No... it's fine if you're nice to one person, but how can you stand being nice to everyone?

You and Dilireba are a couple.

Although the two of you are more of a complainer than a couple...

But there's nothing we can do about it.

The character setting is set at the beginning of the variety show, but how it will develop in the future depends on how these two people do it.

As a result, the two of them don't have much of a CP feeling, and they all have the same "childhood sweetheart" characteristics of complainers.

For the female guest that Shaobing likes, Pang Di goes over to be his wingman.

For the handsome guy that Pang Di covers his face when he sees, Shaobing goes over to flatter him.

But the two of them can't explain what's going on. They are obviously each other's wingmen, but they always tear each other down.

In the end, after all the fuss, they didn't become a couple, and they didn't catch any guests. The character setting of the two complainers' single dogs almost made the audience laugh to death.

So, the "Hot Fire Burning" combination is AKA complainer childhood sweethearts in the mouths of the audience.

The show effect is simply too good.

Shaobing and Pangdi also became famous because of the show "Running Man", and their commercial value began to soar.

But Xu Xin knew all these things, but he didn't care too much. Anyway, he had his wife watching him, so he could only stay away from the mess in the entertainment industry! Stay away! Stay away!

So he rarely cared.

And they were busy during this period, he was busy, Shaobing was busy, and the two of them hadn't sat down to drink together for a long time.

In comparison, Dalinzi didn't make much noise.

Quite low-key.

Xu Xin would occasionally see this kid post a circle of friends after training in the circle of friends.

He rarely showed his face, mostly his clothes soaked with sweat, or posted a one-hour aerobic time check-in on the treadmill.

He really had no idea how big the change was.

Let's see later.

He was looking forward to the boy's slimming look.

Yu Qiao chatted and made a phone call at the same time.

He also turned on the hands-free.

"Beep, beep..."

The phone rang for a long time.

Yu Qi muttered:

"Is he not up yet?"

Suddenly, the phone was connected.

"Hello, Master. Good morning."

Guo Qilin's voice sounded.

Yu Qi rolled his eyes:

"I'm not early, didn't I tell you to come early, why haven't you arrived yet?"

He didn't say Xu Xin had already arrived.

That would be like putting his apprentice on a pedestal, which is inappropriate.

He just wanted Guo Qilin to come quickly.

But when he heard Yu Qi's urging, Guo Qilin felt a little embarrassed:

"Master... Master, I'll be late for a while."

Yu Qi was stunned:

"You haven't left yet?"

"No... I'm still in the rose garden."

Yu Qi was speechless for a moment, thinking that it would be better not to turn on the hands-free.

Or...it would be better not to start the topic of showing off the apprentice.

But when he was thinking about it, Guo Qilin suddenly said:

"I wanted to leave a long time ago today, but...something happened suddenly...I...didn't leave."

"What's the matter? Master, this is for you to celebrate Children's Day."

Yu Qi also helped his apprentice to "make up for it".

Then, he heard his apprentice say...something that made everyone a little confused:

"Master, my mother...is pregnant..."

"..."

"..."
