I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 161 159. Hospitality

The sound of "Fuck, awesome" was like waking up what the young man who was still immersed in the scene in front of him described, the scene and picture intertwined in his mind like a dream, the somewhat lost spring and autumn dream.

Let everyone come back to their senses.

Looking at the young man in front of them, their eyes suddenly lit up.

yes……

Use a scroll instead.

Although what Xiao Xu said is different from what Director Zhang just said, he found a carrier by standing in the link of canceling and weakening the four major inventions.

But it is highly consistent with Director Zhang’s requirements.

Isn't Director Zhang looking for a kind of self that can carry ancient and modern times?

This scroll...

Not the most perfect of perfections! ?

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes unanimously focused on Zhang Yimou.

I saw Zhang Yimou frowning, looking at the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains map in front of him that has been involuted with each other countless times...

After watching for a while, until the commotion of the crowd calmed down, he spoke:

"Did you go to the Forbidden City this morning?"

"right."

Xu Xin nodded:

"Last night you talked about memorials, and Jay Chou and I were chatting there... I asked him if he knew what memorials were... because when you mentioned memorials yesterday, I felt a little inspired. But I couldn't figure it out for the moment. ...Then when he heard me asking him, he said that the memorial was not an imperial edict..."

"..."

Zhang Yimou's mouth twitched.

Xu Xin couldn't help but laugh.

He smiled and said:

"Then I directly thought of what the imperial edict looked like. I tried it at home and thought...as long as I can keep this scroll rolling...and you have always been undecided about whether to use such a big paper? Now I think it is okay. Used. A big piece of paper, we can write and draw on it ourselves... Wouldn't this just be used as a carrier? Thinking of this, I stayed up all night and drew these sketches..."

Putting all the ten or twenty sketches in his hand to Zhang Yimou, Xu Xin continued:

"I also specifically checked the information on the Internet. I originally wanted to find "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" to show our various faces... But when I was looking, I suddenly saw this "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", by Wang Ximeng of the Northern Song Dynasty... It is in the Forbidden City. Museum... But I didn’t see the real thing, so I bought this gift... a one-to-one imitation... Good guy, it’s really expensive, more than three hundred... Will I be reimbursed for this money..."

"..."

Zhang Yimou's mouth twitched...

"Where's the invoice? Have you got it?"

"...No. Will you issue an invoice?"

"How can you reimburse me if you don't issue an invoice?"

"Forget it..."

"..."

Zhang Yimou was speechless while looking at the sketches drawn by Xu Xin.

In fact, the styles are very obvious, and they are not anything particularly complicated, similar to simple drawings.

It's right to think about it. If a painter really comes over to paint on such a big piece of paper, God knows how long it will take. So this simple drawing is the most suitable.

As the oldest narrative painting of mankind, this kind of painting that has been widely circulated around the world has a high degree of overlap and consistency to some extent.

Very suitable for use in this situation.

After Zhang Yimou took a few glances, he understood what Xu Xin wanted to express.

then……

"What do you think of the scroll idea?"

"A moving scroll."

Xu Xin quickly added:

"I want the kind that keeps spinning..."

He was afraid that others would not fully understand what he meant.

Zhang Yimou nodded, and then looked at Jiang Haoyang immediately.

Jiang Haoyang did his duty, as a large-scale props designer, and nodded directly:

"Technically there is no problem at all."

"...Okay, let's design a smaller version first and let's take a look at what it looks like... Does anyone else have any objections? If there are no objections, let's finalize the order of the chronology carried by the scroll today. ...Xiao Xu, sit down. Thank you for your hard work!"

"Um!"

After a busy night without sleeping, Xu Xin didn't feel any hardship.

On the contrary, his eyes were full of excitement.

However... this excitement began to fade quickly as he sat on the comfortable chair next to Wei Lanfang.

"Ha... um."

I yawned first.

After squeezing his sore eyes, he heard Wei Lanfang say:

"You haven't slept all night? Why didn't you answer the phone call?"

"I'm afraid of disturbing you, so I've muted the sound..."

Xu Xin took out his phone and found that there were several missed calls and messages.

I took a look and found that they were all classroom experiences sent by my girlfriend...

The two of them have become accustomed to this common way of chatting a few words when they have nothing to do.

But Xu Xin didn't reply.

It's not that I don't want to reply... but the phone prompts that the battery is low again, and even the screen dims.

"Sister Wei, do you have the charger with you?"

He asked after putting his phone on the table and setting it to vibrate.

Wei Lanfang nodded:

"I'm taking it with me. I'll get it for you after the meeting."

"okay."

After responding, Xu Xin began to listen to everyone's discussion.

Then……

I don’t know what’s going on, but my eyelids started to fight.

Head bit by bit...

After a day and night of hard work, the sleepiness gradually emerged...

…

"Then if it is carried by a scroll, the meaning of this piece of paper...that is, the picture we want to give...I think it should be simpler. It should reflect that big heart..."

"Ho~~~~"

Shen Danqing's words were the first to stop...

He turned his head subconsciously.

Stop talking about him, everyone's attention was focused on the source of the sound.

"Hoo~~~~Huh..."

"Hoo~~~~~Huh..."

"Hoo~~~~~~~~Huh~Huh~Huh..."

Xu Xin's neck was stuck on the chair, with his big mouth and nostrils pointed at everyone, he snored loudly...

Zhang Yimou looked strange for a while.

Didn't you look energetic just now?

How do you say you just fell asleep?

But listening to the snoring, everyone understood that it must be the result of a weak neck.

So, he shook his head helplessly:

"Xiao Wei, shake him up and let him go upstairs to sleep."

There are several rest rooms upstairs that were set up last year to provide temporary rest for those who work late.

"good."

Wei Lanfang suppressed laughter and shook Xu Xin awake:

"Hey, Xiao Xu...the director is calling you."

"ah?"

Xu Xin opened his eyes in a daze, looked around, and quickly shook his head:

"Sorry, sorry, I fell asleep..."

After saying that, he started to feel in his pocket... but after finding no cigarette, he reached for a pack of cigarettes belonging to someone next to him...

As a result, Chen Weiya slapped her hand:

"Okay, stop twitching, go to bed if you feel tired, great hero."

"It's okay...I'm not sleepy..."

"Go quickly."

Chen Weiya couldn’t laugh or cry:

"That snoring just now made me think that someone had brought the donkey here... Go quickly. Director Zhang also asked you to go."

"Well……"

Subconsciously, Xu Xin looked at Zhang Yimou with red eyes.

"Go ahead."

Hearing this, Xu Xin still shook his head:

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm really not sleepy..."

Then, after finally convincing everyone that he was awake, he snored again three minutes later and was simply kicked out by everyone.

One second I said I wasn't sleepy, the next second I was snoring.

You are really good...

As a last resort, Xu Xin smashed his mouth...

Go upstairs.

He was indeed a little tired.

Yesterday, I spent the whole day busy working on Fou things during the day, and encountered something about Fou at night. Then I got home and started studying things about Fou. I worked all night, and in the morning I went to the National Palace Museum...

If we follow Jay Chou's words, the road in his mind has been blocked.

In urgent need of a sound sleep to regain a clear mind.

So, I walked into a single room that no one had used since the beginning of the new year. I lay down on the single bed and couldn't get up at all.

…

"I'm leaving first..."

Beiying.

noon.

The second class is over.

Facing Bao Wenjing who was leaving in a hurry, Tang Wan waved wordlessly. Before turning around, he heard a voice coming from behind:

"Abandoned you again?"

Tang Wan turned around and saw that it was Yang Mi. He nodded speechlessly:

"Yes...it's said that Bao Bei'er joined the crew and acted as a supporting role, and she went to deliver the food...I was really speechless. What kind of crew? It only takes two or three hours to go back and forth? How come the food isn't cold?"

"...Tsk, tsk."

Yang Mi also felt a little emotional.

I really didn't realize it before... How do you describe the term boyfriend?

Love brain?

Yes, yes, this is it.

When people fall in love, they lose their own personality.

Really...

"I am leaving."

Thinking of this, she waved to Tang Wan and walked out.

"Where are you going? There are no classes in the afternoon?"

"Come on, come back during class time. I'm leaving..."

The girl waved her hand casually and ran quickly outside.

After leaving the school gate, she saw her 911 car parked at the school gate, and she walked up quickly.

It's like being a thief.

No way, it's too ostentatious. If it hadn't been for the 350 first-insurance payment today, she wouldn't have let Sun Ting drive this car to pick her up:

"Let's go."

"Where are you going, sister?"

"Go to your Brother Xu's place. I haven't been there for several days. The house may be in a mess. Help him clean it up. Jay Chou comes over these two days and we can't let others laugh at it."

The girl who was calling others love-minded a second ago didn't realize it now, and she was no less generous.

Sun Ting, who was not surprised, nodded and drove towards Xu Xin's house.

When she arrived at the door of her house, Yang Mi ordered:

"Bring some food back... I want to eat Maoxuewang... and pickled fish. Remember to divide it into two portions, keep one for your brother Xu, and let us eat the other."

"OK."

Sun Ting nodded, and after Yang Mi got off the car, she drove directly to the Sichuan restaurant not far ahead.

Yang Mi took out the key from her pocket and opened the door.

When she entered the house, just as if she were returning to her own home, she first checked each house to see how messy it was.

When she walked to the study room, which was full of cigarette smoke but did not open the window to let out the smell, she wrinkled her nose speechlessly.

How many cigarettes have you smoked?

I really need to tell my brother to smoke less in the future.

Not to mention hurting the body...the smell after a long time is really unpleasant.

Far worse than the taste in my mouth.

Then after entering the guest room, she was stunned.

Although the quilt was folded... it was not the four square squares that I had folded before.

But a long strip...

Who's coming to stay?

She was confused for a while...

Could it be that Jay Chou is already here?

oops!

Then if you see my brother’s house in such a mess, you might think of me.

She was speechless, but she didn't dare to delay any longer, and planned to sort it out quickly.

Otherwise, you will look so useless.

While she was cleaning up, in addition to Maoxuewang and pickled fish, Sun Ting, who also bought an extra portion of twice-cooked pork that Yang Mi usually likes to eat, drove 911 back to her door.

There was a commercial vehicle coming towards me.

Sun Ting didn't care, but when she saw that the car was not driving fast, she made a left turn, followed the gentle slope paved with cement on the curb, climbed onto the sidewalk, and stopped at the door of the garage.

The speed of the commercial vehicle also slowed down.

Sun Ting didn't think much, took the bag of takeout and walked directly into Xu Xin's house.

…

In the business car, Li Hao and Xu Daqiang were dumbfounded.

"Have you...been robbed?...Uncle, why don't you go down and take a look?"

Hearing Li Hao's words, Xu Daqiang was stunned...

"Are all the thieves in Yanjing City so powerful? Are they all women? After entering the house... they still have to eat at home?"

"..."

"..."

Both of them were speechless.

And Li Hao didn’t forget to add:

"This thief... still drives a Porsche?"

"..."

The two of them were speechless, confused, and confused.

I even thought I had found the wrong door.

But this is indeed my home...Who is this woman?

"Could she be Sanjin's girlfriend?"

"Ah, isn't it? I've seen that woman...better than this one."

Xu Daqiang shook his head:

"Let's go and have a look."

So, the business car parked next to the Porsche, and the back was filled with slaughtered and bagged muttons one after another. Xu Daqiang quietly walked down, and together with Li Hao, stood by the door and looked inside. .

The funny thing is...it's obviously my own home...

But now the two of them are acting like thieves.

I poked my head at the door, and then I heard:

"Sister, let's eat first."

"Oh, here we go... Tingting, come here first. Brother Xu, help me take this pile of clothes and put them in the car. These need to be dry cleaned. You have to send them over later."

"OK."

Seeing someone coming out of the kitchen, Xu Daqiang and Li Hao quickly retracted their heads.

Then the two of them heard Sun Ting's confused voice:

"So much? Brother Xu, do you still have clothes?"

"This is something you will wear when the weather gets warmer in a while. Wash it out in advance and prepare it. I can't wear it now."

"oh oh."

"Come on, let's go eat. Let's clean up quickly after dinner. Jielun seems to have arrived..."

"Uh-huh……"

The more Li Hao listened, the weirder his expression became.

Subconsciously he looked at Xu Daqiang.

But Xu Daqiang's face was full of smiles.

Seems very satisfied.

At this moment, Sun Ting walked out carrying two big bags.

"ah!"

Suddenly seeing two people at the door, Sun Ting was startled and jumped back a big step.

Xu Daqiang quickly waved his hand:

"Woods are like trees, don't be afraid."

The middle-aged man looked kind.

Yang Mi also walked out of the main hall at this time. She heard the movement on the shadow wall and asked quickly:

"Tingting, what happened? Did you fall?"

She came over quickly.

Then I saw Xu Daqiang with a smile...

"Uncle Xu!?"

After recognizing him at first sight as her boyfriend's father, she subconsciously said hello.

But immediately my mind was confused...

The second sentence popped up:

"Why are you here!"

When I asked this question, I immediately felt something was wrong...

This...this is someone else's home!

There was a moment of embarrassment on his face:

"Uh...no...I...I didn't mean that...Hello, Uncle Xu, I'm Yang Mi, you...you remember me, right?"

"Remember, remember. Of course, remember~"

Quietly switching to Mandarin mode, Xu Daqiang responded.

He looked the girl up and down with a smile.

Um.

It's more beautiful than the one I met during the Chinese New Year last year.

The baby's eyesight is not bad.

Although the Mandarin accent was a bit strange, it didn't stop Xu Daqiang from asking with a smile:

"What are you doing? Cleaning up the house?"

"……Um."

Yang Mi nodded awkwardly.

"Xu Xin... asked me to help him clean up the house."

"Oh~~~"

The old man smiled and nodded:

"You haven't eaten yet? Look, this woman just came in with a lunch box...she is..."

"I...my friend, Sun Ting."

Hearing Yang Mi's words, Sun Ting quickly said hello:

"Hello, Uncle Xu..."

"Yeah, okay, good, good, very good."

For some reason, Xu Daqiang seemed more satisfied and continued:

"I haven't eaten yet, Xiao Li... I'm going to get some food, something good..."

Li Hao was about to nod when he saw Yang Mi wave her hand:

"No, no, no, don't use it...I'm not hungry either...Uncle Xu, these are pickled fish and Maoxuewang just bought from the restaurant...If you don't mind...you can eat it, I... …I’ve finished packing up, and I’m just about to leave…”

be honest.

Don't look at other people's sophistication.

But facing Xu Daqiang, she felt unspeakably panicked.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there are six gods without masters.

I immediately wanted to run away.

He also gave up his plan to come to Xu Xin tonight.

pity……

Xu Daqiang didn’t give in:

"Ah, it's impossible to leave without eating. You can't make people hungry~... Then forget it... I can make noodles and cook some noodles, and I can eat the pickled fish soup... just right. , I still have something to ask you."

After stopping Yang Mi, Xu Daqiang walked into the house and asked as he walked:

"Where is Sanjin? Where is the person? Why don't you answer the phone?"

"Uh... he should be at work."

"I've been looking for him all morning..."

"Then let me ask you a question?"

"Well, you ask, I'm going to make noodles. Xiao Li, you can greet the guests."

Li Hao nodded to express his understanding, and Xu Daqiang walked directly into the kitchen.

What he said is actually true.

Cook some noodles and add some noodles to the pickled fish soup. It will be quite enjoyable.

Or just pour oil on the noodles.

That thing is also easy to use.

While cooking noodles, Yang Mi called Wei Lanfang after calling Xu Xin several times but couldn't get through.

It was confirmed that Xu Xin seemed to have stayed up late last night and was now sleeping in the rest room of the unit.

Not awake yet.

Seeing that she couldn't leave, she had no choice but to come to the kitchen door:

"Uncle Xu."

"Oh, we got in touch?"

"...Hmm. Three...Xu Xin is sleeping in the unit. He seemed to have stayed up late last night."

"Hmm... do you know his work unit?"

"Know."

"...Can you take me there later? There are ten sheep in the car. I originally asked him to take them to the work. Can we take them together later?"

"this……"

The girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded:

"Okay, then...I'll take you there later."

"Well, that's great. Then get ready and eat right away."

"...Eh, okay."

…

Soon, a large basin of noodles with a burnt aroma was brought up.

"Is this... oily noodles?"

Looking at the fragrant burnt chili noodles on the noodles in the stainless steel basin, Yang Mi couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, I only had some green onions left at home, so I made some fried noodles. It's just enough. Let's have a good meal tonight~"

Is there still... is there still night?

For no reason, Yang Mi panicked.

But after Uncle Xu couldn't resist using his chopsticks to stir up the large basin of oil and pour it on the noodles, there was a faint aroma.

Originally wanting to eat rice, she simply took some chopsticks to serve.

Although it is not a wide noodle, it is just an ordinary noodle.

But the so-called expert will know if it is there as soon as he takes action.

As soon as the old man raised two sons with his own hands, the skill of why Shanshan and Shaanxi generations were called the noodle kingdom was revealed.

Looking at Yang Mi and Sun Ting's eyes widening in surprise, Xu Daqiang showed a rather kind smile:

"Haha, take a big bite. If it's not enough, I'll give it to you. Eat~"

After saying that, he found a Maotai bottle from the shelf with ease, shook the inside, and poured himself a small half glass of wine.

A mouthful of noodles, a mouthful of wine.

He didn't say anything, and he didn't ask anything like "How are you and the baby?" or "How did you meet me?"

Ask nothing.

But when the two of them didn't have enough noodles, they said:

"Here, here's some for you two."

Yang Mi didn't dare to let him hold it, so she quickly said she would do it.

Then Xu Daqiang became silent again.

With a smile, he finished the wine in three gulps and started eating noodles in big gulps.

He himself doesn't hold much.

After a few mouthfuls, the noodles were gone.

But after taking a vague look at the remaining noodles, he directly picked up the boxed rice next to him.

After opening it, he also gave half a box to Li Hao, who was also almost done with the noodles.

Li Hao has been following Xu Daqiang for many years.

I immediately understood what Uncle Lai meant.

The two left the noodles for Yang Mi and Sun Ting.

Even though...there's still a lot left.

Even if two people may not be able to eat it.

But this is the hospitality habit of people in northern Shaanxi.

Good food, something that the guests like to eat, then let the guests eat it first and eat well.

Even if you are hungry, don't like rice, or whatever, you will never leave your guests unsatisfied.

Sun Ting didn't think much about it, but after Yang Mi saw this...

After thinking for a while, she remained silent.

He just got up and filled himself another bowl, and said with a smile:

"Uncle Xu, this is the most delicious fried noodles I have ever eaten in my life. Your cooking skills are amazing~"

"Hahahaha~"

In one sentence, Xu Daqiang grinned happily to his ears.

Nod:

"Okay, okay, eat, eat, eat. If it's not enough, there's more. I'll give it to you."

"Uh-huh."

The girl who was already a little full did not refuse the kindness. While eating the noodles with big mouthfuls, she did not forget to say to Sun Ting:

"Tingting, the rest is yours. I won't lose weight today, eat it all!"

"Well……"

Sun Ting glanced at the last remaining basin, and nodded:

"Okay, sister."

that's all……

All in one meal.

Even though it was just noodles, Yang Mi was still full.

But when Xu Daqiang asked, "It's delicious," her thumbs up and her natural sense of fullness still made the middle-aged man burst into his biggest smile so far.

Smiling and nodding:

"When you're full, drink some noodle soup. This is called... uh... original food transformed into soup, yes."

"Uh-huh."

So, the girl drank half a bowl of noodle soup again.

I rolled my eyes.

Really, I can't eat anything.
