I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 192 190. Pedicure foot mold

Late October.

Shenmu has started to wear thick clothes sooner or later.

There is no way, the temperature difference between day and night here is so big.

night.

Xu Xin, wrapped in a down jacket, said to Zhang Wu next to him amid the loud noise of gongs and drums:

"Director Zhang, what do you think?"

Just now, the soldiers from the art troupe below who were specially performing the performance of "beating the canou and singing" were waving their red-light drumsticks in the darkness. When the lights were turned off in the audience, they finished the performance of "beating the canou and singing" in the darkness. The drumstick waving session.

This drumstick was just delivered today. It has a switch on it that can be turned on and off. When turned on, it will emit red light, and after the lights in the entire venue are turned off, the 5016 drumsticks will emit red light and be waved in the hands of the performers, looking extremely smart and shocking.

Zhang Wu’s idea.

Xu Xin didn't expect it to be so detailed.

Zhang Wu made a very satisfied sound of approval:

"Well, it's very good...this LED light is indeed stronger than the red fluorescent light."

“It’s just that the cost is a little higher.”

"Um……"

After responding, he raised the walkie-talkie:

"Everyone did a good job. Okay, that's it for today. Clean up and get ready to get off work. Thank you for your hard work."

After a summer of hard work and hard work, the performers, who had tanned more than one color number per person, began to pack their things in front of them and prepare to get off work after hearing this.

They live in several big hotels in Shenmu.

Room and board are all free.

Sponsored by "Shenmu Chamber of Commerce".

Well, as one of the vice presidents, Xu Daqiang took the lead.

And Zhang Wu said he was off work, which also meant that Xu Xin could get off work.

The two began to walk from the auditorium to the performance aisle.

At this time, Xu Xin's phone rang.

He took it out of his pocket and hung up immediately.

Zhang Wu saw his actions and asked:

"Who? Mimi?"

"Well, I guess we've finished filming."

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Zhang Wu nodded:

"She's really popular now."

"……hey-hey."

Xu Xin couldn't help laughing.

His eyes were full of pride.

Indeed, my sister was extremely angry.

But he smiled and said modestly:

"It still doesn't work. Didn't I watch "Nie Xiaoqian" a few days ago and was criticized? Netizens said her acting skills were poor."

"Isn't that taken two or three years ago?"

Zhang Wu shook his head:

"A lot of people don't talk about objective facts. She was only that old when she was filming something two or three years ago. It's enough to grasp the characteristics of the character... Is it possible that teenagers still want to give her full play?"

"Hehe... I will tell her this later. Just say that Director Zhang recognizes her acting skills and tells her not to be afraid. Whenever Director Zhang wants to film, he will always leave a place for her."

"I……"

Zhang Wu was speechless, looking at Xu Xin wondering whether to laugh or cry:

"When did I say this? No wonder Yimou said you look ugly when you eat... Your girlfriend is so angry, and you are still trying to find drama for her?"

"That's not true, I don't like other people's dramas. Couldn't it be from your hands~"

"You kid..."

Zhang Wu shook his head helplessly, but after thinking about it, he still said:

"There may be opportunities in the future. I'm not a TV series or movie director...but if there's anything we can participate in, I'll think of it for you two. Ha~"

He couldn't help laughing when he said this:

"Why are you so fooled by your boy?"

"I'll treat you to a drink at Linzhoufang, okay? It's ten years old!"

"Well, this is still true, tonight?"

"Okay, let's go directly then?"

"Let's go~ It's cold today, let's go eat mutton stew, how about it. A hot pot of mutton, a sip of wine. Oh, that taste..."

"Then you have to find an authentic one."

"You're sure~ Call Director Chen and the others again?"

"...Keep those ten years old for me. Just drink regular wine tonight."

"Then it's better not to shout. I'll drink secretly with you."

"Hahahaha~"

Chatting and laughing, the two walked out of the stadium together.

At around 9 o'clock in the evening, Xu Xin, smelling of alcohol, got out of the car, waved to Li Hao, and staggered into the house.

As soon as he arrived in the living room, he saw Xu Miao, who had been in Yanjing for more than half a month, standing in the living room, wearing a three-piece suit.

"Brother, why are you wearing such formal clothes so late?"

Xu Xin was a little puzzled.

Then I looked around...

"Where's my sister-in-law?"

"I went to change clothes next door."

After Xu Miao finished speaking, Xu Daqiang walked out of the room.

He was wearing a white suit, and the last hole of his shirt was untied, making him look very casual and casual.

But as he walked he muttered:

"Ah, you've gained weight again? It's a bit tight... Oh, Sanjin, you're back? Come on, the clothes Mimi sent are here, go and try them on."

"clothing?"

Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized:

"Oh, the winter suit has arrived?"

"Yeah...how do they look?...Hey, look at those shoes, ah, Mimi is so careful, I picked them specially~ My feet are wide, one size too big."

"Well……"

He looked down at the leather shoes under his father's feet.

Having been nurtured by his girlfriend for more than a year, he recognized it easily. His girlfriend paired him with LAZY MAN. These shoes are comfortable to wear and do not bind his feet after a long time.

Just as he was looking, he saw Xu Daqiang pointing at the box on the table:

"Here, bring me that scarf. I've gained weight recently. These clothes are a bit tight. I need to lose weight~"

scarf?

Xu Xin picked up the box on the table in confusion, opened it and said:

"This is the scarf, Dad."

After handing a navy blue scarf to his father, he looked at Xu Miao again...

Finally, his eyes fell on his own set of unopened boxes.

After thinking about it, I opened the box and found a set of black and blue wide stripes that Yang Mi personally selected.

Even the clothes, shirt, and a pair of Oxford shoes are all one set.

In order to prevent his sister-in-law from suddenly walking in, he went to the room where his father had just changed clothes to change. Only then did he realize that his girlfriend had chosen the same style as Xu Miao, which was a British-style old-fashioned three-piece suit.

After putting on a shirt, vest and double-breasted suit, he looked exactly like Xu Miao when he walked out.

"Ah, it looks good, it looks so good!"

Xu Daqiang, who was wearing a white suit and a coquettish scarf, looked at Xu Xin and then at Xu Miao.

The two sons in formal clothes came to this stop. To outsiders, it highlighted the aura of the boss who was the only one wearing casual clothes.

But for the old father, he was even more pleased that his two sons looked like adults after putting on suits.

A sense of accomplishment called a father made him nod unconsciously:

"Okay, okay, Mimi has chosen the right one... Hey, tomorrow, let's find a photo studio and take a family photo, shall we?"

"..."

Xu Xin twitched the corner of his mouth and said speechlessly:

"Dad, I'm also a director..."

Subtext: You old man uses bean bags too much as dry food.

Xu Daqiang was stunned...

Suddenly the smile on his face became even brighter:

"Yes, yes, this baby has a lot of potential, and he can also take photos~... Then let's take a family photo tomorrow. It's been many years since I took pictures~..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped talking and looked at his two sons with a bit of expectation in his eyes:

"It's just... it would be better if Mimi were here... if Sanshui and Qianqian had another baby..."

"Well……"

"..."

Xu Xin and Xu Miao looked at each other...

I understood my father's wish in my heart.

Therefore, Xu Miao first expressed his stance:

"I'll start asking for it in May next year, Dad, just to avoid the Year of the Rat."

Xu Miao was born in 1978 and was born in the year of Horse. The Rat Sun is in opposition to the Horse, which is not compatible with the Rat.

After he expressed his stance, Xu Daqiang looked at his younger son expectantly...

"Well……"

Xu Xin opened his mouth and smiled:

"It's not urgent, it's not urgent."

Then...the old man became a little unhappy.

"Why don't you rush for Za! You want to fuck Za!!"

Obviously, Xu Daqiang thought that his son had other ideas and made a conclusion directly:

"If you dare to do something outrageous, I'll whip you with a belt!"

"Yes, yes, I understand, I understand~"

"..."

Seeing his son's promise, Xu Daqiang didn't finish. Although he stopped talking, the warning in his eyes was obvious.

Xu Xin was actually quite happy.

My sister is still good at coaxing people.

Seeing how I coaxed my dad into...he became "rebellious".

but……

Again.

Her career has just started, so there's no rush.

…

It's past 10 o'clock.

"Oh, if you didn't call me, I would fall asleep."

The girl's hoarse voice came from the phone.

The change in her voice was instantly caught by Xu Xin, and he asked in confusion:

"Why is your voice hoarse?"

"Today there was a heartbreaking crying scene. I couldn't hold back my emotions for a while and burst into tears."

After Yang Mi explained, she quickly asked:

"Hey, how's it going? Have you received the clothes? Does Uncle Xu like it? Where's Brother Sanshui, do you like it? Where's my sister-in-law? Does she like this color scheme of Prada? If she likes it, I'll get it over there in the spring."

"I like it, I like it very much. Especially my dad... I haven't heard my dad say that he wants to lose weight in so many years. But today when he put on your white suit, he found that his belly was a little tight, so he said he wanted to lose weight... He said he would stop drinking for a while starting tomorrow and lose weight before talking..."

"Hahahaha~ Is it true? Uncle Xu likes it so much?"

The girl on the other end of the phone was laughing so hard.

"Actually, when I was choosing fabrics, I fell in love with the white woolen fabric at first glance. You know it. Uncle Xu must have a big boss look when he wears that, right? What about the shoes? Do they fit? The tailor told me that Uncle Xu tried them on last time. The shoes were a bit difficult to wear, so I ordered one size larger this time... But I won’t be afraid anymore. They introduced me to a shop in Xiangjiang that specializes in making handmade shoes. It’s an old shop, and there are many rich businessmen there. They are custom-making foot molds there, and then they can make shoes. Shall we go there?"

"Um?"

Xu Xin was stunned:

"Go? What do you mean?"

"Just... I'm making money now."

"Well, then?"

"Then……"

Yang Mi suddenly became a little hesitant.

Xu Xin was puzzled:

"What's wrong? Is there anything we can't talk about?"

"I'm afraid it's too sudden...you will feel...as if I'm forcing you."

"Force me... for what?"

"..."

After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, a voice came:

"In November, I just finished filming, and it was probably completed around the middle of the month. Think about it, it started filming in mid-September, and it will be two months until mid-November. Right?"

"yes."

Xu Xin was a little confused.

"Ugly Girl" is indeed not a large-scale TV series. There are only more than 20 episodes in total. When the girl first accepted the show, she just thought that next year's series would not be interrupted and she would continue to qualify.

After adding that the script was really good, she decided to film it.

To ensure that at least one work appears every year, the audience will not forget about themselves. This is the goal that many actors strive for.

She is no exception.

After all, she was not popular at that time, so she took the job because she wanted to continue to be able to show her face on the screen.

As for the shooting of this scene, it was quite slow. It has been two months and it is just about to end.

But... if you are an outsider in these things, it would be fine if your sister explained them to you. The problem is that you yourself are a practitioner and you know everything inside. Why do you suddenly have to explain it to yourself?

And it also revealed a very deliberate feeling.

Xu Xin was confused after hearing this.

Then I heard Yang Mi continue:

"Then...Jielun, you know..."

Xu Xinxin said, isn’t this nonsense?

What does "you know" mean?

It's like I'm not familiar with wheels.

We were texting and chatting just now.

"Didn't he say he would leave tickets for us? I've always wanted to go to the concert with you."

"...No, what on earth do you want to say?"

"Oh, listen to me! Just, do you still remember the two watches you bought for my mother and father?"

"Remember, what happened?"

She was talking about the last time she went to Xiangjiang to get a screen line, and the pocket of watches she bought as a gift when she met Jay Chou.

These are my own personal experiences, why do I need to talk about them?

In what circle?

He became increasingly puzzled.

"After I brought it to my dad, I told him that I bought it from Xiangjiang. Then... my parents had not been to Xiangjiang either. I said at that time that we could go now if we wanted to. But My dad... said he’ll talk about it when I’m not busy anymore, so as not to delay my work. Do you understand?”

"...To be honest, I don't quite understand."

Didn't understand a word.

"Oh, that means...I'm going to take my parents to Xiangjiang in November. Firstly, I'm going to see Jay Chou's concert, and secondly, I'm...taking them on a trip. Then...I just happened to know that there's another place in Xiangjiang. This kind of custom shoe shop. Uncle Xu... always wears one size larger when wearing shoes, which means they still don't fit.

So I was just thinking...to customize a pair for him and leave a foot mold...and for my dad, I also want to...custom-make a few sets of good clothes for him...and my mother, take her shopping... In addition, Jay Chou's concert is on November 27th... I want to watch it with you... And although I always buy things for my sister-in-law... But we... haven't gone shopping together before... just... just... ……At once……"

Three consecutive words "ji" express the ups and downs of her mood.

Finally, he mustered up the courage to say:

"Look... Uncle Xu has to go to Xiangjiang himself, and then... I'll take my dad there too... Do you want to... that's it..."

"No problem! Just wait a moment and I'll go find the old man."

Xu Xin, who completely understood what his girlfriend wanted to express after chatting a lot, sat up from the bed with a "snap".

"Oh, don't, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"It's okay, keep talking."

While talking, Xu Xin had already opened the door.

"Don't go to Uncle Xu yet. I don't mean to force you! Don't be impatient! What I mean is... to meet, not to discuss anything between the two families... Oh, don't... I heard you slip on your shoes There's some movement..."

While Yang Mi was explaining hastily, Xu Xin had already knocked on Xu Daqiang's door:

"Dad, are you asleep?"

"Oh, what's wrong?"

The recent Comrade Daqiang may have entered a period of boredom. Although Xu Xin didn't want to think about his father's "private life", since one day he saw his father driving a Rolls-Royce, dragging the two of them while wearing stewardess uniforms, After the girl came home from the airport to get Liuwei Dihuang Pills without having time to change clothes, he had several "nightmares" in a row that night, and he had goosebumps one after another.

Recently, there are not many people around my father.

Finally got clean.

Pushing the door open and walking in, Xu Xin got straight to the point:

"Dad, Mimi said that she wants to take her parents to Xiangjiang in November. There is a foot modeler there and she wants you to go too."

He chose to speak Mandarin, which was just enough for his girlfriend to understand.

Then……

Xu Daqiang was stunned and said:

"Get a pedicure...how far is it to Xiangjiang?"

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched...

"No, they are custom-made shoes. They give your foot shape... uh... they use something to wrap your feet, make a model, and then make shoes based on that model. It's not a pedicure..."

"puff……"

Yang Mi, who was full of anxiety on the other end of the phone, burst into laughter instantly.

"Then, Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang will also go. Mimi means to meet each other..."

"Go, go, go."

After Xu Daqiang came to his senses, he agreed without saying a word:

"When will we see you?"

"...It's the end of November."

"Uh... ah! That's too far! How about... tomorrow... tomorrow our whole family will fly to Xiangjiang, stay and play for a few days, and have a drink with Brother Yang?"

Yang Dalin was born in 1958, three years younger than his father.

After hearing this, Xu Xin quickly shook his head:

"Mimi is filming. It's scheduled for the end of November."

"Ah...then...why don't we go first? Let's take Brother Yang to Macau to have some fun and connect with each other..."

"...Dad, I'm a policeman."

"Gambling in Macau is not illegal..."

"...Please stop torturing me."

When the girl over there was laughing almost crazy, Xu Xin shook his head speechlessly:

"Then let's just say this? It's the end of November, okay? Mimi said that your shoes don't fit your feet, so I specially found a shop for you to make these private leather shoes."

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

Xu Daqiang became excited.

"Go, I'm sure to go. I'll go buy gold and make gifts tomorrow..."

"...Dad, it's either an engagement or a meeting between the two families. Don't do it..."

"Well……"

Upon hearing this, Comrade Daqiang's excitement immediately waned:

"It's not an engagement..."

"Just two families who know each other, let's meet... Let's talk about the details, okay? I'll just tell you."

"...Okay, ugh."

Xu Daqiang let out a disappointed sigh.

I thought……

well.

But seeing his son about to close the door, he felt jealous and could not help but say:

"Guawazi! Hurry up!"

"..."

Snap, the door closes.

Xu Xin held up his mobile phone and said speechlessly:

"Did you hear that? My dad is worried."

"Goose goose goose...you really want to marry me back as your daughter-in-law?"

The girl who was originally worried felt relaxed after hearing this.

Xu Xin felt hot:

"I also want to marry you as my wife as soon as possible..."

"..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment...

After a moment, the softest words sounded:

"Bad...bad guy! You're not allowed to think too much anyway, did you hear me? I didn't mean to force you or rush you or anything...you're not allowed to think about me like that!"

"I didn't... I did miss you, but not this way."

Numb love words suddenly sounded.

The private conversations between the young lovers echoed in the silent room.

…

Xu Daqiang suddenly started to lose weight.

Be serious about losing weight.

I hired a professional coach, strictly controlled my diet, and even stopped drinking.

Especially when I saw the photo of Yang Dalin sent by Yang Mi.

Frankly speaking, Xu Xin also feels that his girlfriend's appearance is more inherited from her father. Uncle Yang...if nothing else, he was definitely a handsome guy when he was young.

On the other hand, dad's side...

Xu Xin is very happy that she follows her mother.

Dad’s face...

Well, that's all I can say.

It's not obvious that he's handsome.

But victory has enough connotations and is rich enough.

But after seeing the photos of his future father-in-law, he still felt that he had to fight for it.

First get rid of the fat on your belly.

Leave a good impression on the future father-in-law, so that when you marry someone else's daughter, both parties will look down on each other, and then it will be the children who will be in trouble.

Zhang Qianqian also started to lose weight.

The main reason is... the girl who is probably his future sister-in-law is a very popular actress.

Compared with appearance, it really can't compare.

Then it can only be compared with temperament.

But the problem is that temperament is something that is cultivated through pampering. To highlight it, you still need a suitable platform.

At the very least, there shouldn't be too much difference between the two of them in their photos, right?

Otherwise, she herself would not be balanced.

Xu Miao did not lose weight.

He went to Yanjing to discuss business.

Xu Xin is also working overtime. During this period, he has completed the work even beyond the quota, so that he can spare the six days from the 25th to December 1st on November 25th.

Dad has already sent someone to arrange the trip.

Wherever you need to make an appointment, he must make it unimpeded.

Then Xiangjiang was not enough place to play, so he had to take Yang Dalin for a trip to Macau.

The point is not to let a few children follow.

It is a gathering between "brothers".

Then what is the yacht for? Anyway, these six days have to be arranged neatly and the highest level of entertainment is provided.

It made Xu Xin dumbfounded.

But no matter what dad does, he will tell his girlfriend the truth.

Even if there are some things...such as asking about the lighting advertisements on the high-rise buildings next to Victoria Harbor about leasing, he would use lights to put out a slogan "Brother Yang welcomes you" and other unrealistic things.

I told my girlfriend everything.

He just wanted to use his father's cautious and serious attitude to express an attitude to his girlfriend's family.

The old Xu family attaches great importance to this historic "meeting".

Even if it doesn't mean anything.

But in the eyes of the older generation, the more grand it is, the more it represents how much your family values ​​your daughter.

This way you can rest assured when the time comes to marry your daughter off.

after all……

Yang Mi is an only child.

In the words of Xu Daqiang:

"Whose only child is not their parents' treasure? Don't dare to feel a little wronged when you get married, otherwise... how uncomfortable will it be to be a parent?"

Xu Xin deeply agreed.

And after repeating these exact words to my girlfriend...

That night, Yang Mi called her father.

I cried for more than ten minutes...
