I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 211 209. Mute Dance (Thanks to the leader of "Yangmayan Apprentice"!)

On the side of the broadcasting station.

Yang Mi looked at a person who looked like... someone she often saw on TV and slapped her boyfriend's shoulder hard several times, while her boyfriend bowed and played the drums again, and asked her father next to her:

"Dad, who is this person?"

"The top leader of the organizing committee."

Yang Dalin whispered.

"Well……"

Yang Mi was stunned and nodded.

"These leaders should all be people working on the Olympics... They have contributed such a good performance to this opening ceremony. I can't wait for the awards ceremony. Come here first... You have to ask Xiao Xu for the details. I'm not very good either. clear."

After Yang Dalin explained, he vaguely heard a few words of "I didn't live up to it".

Without even having to listen clearly, he knew what the leader meant by what he said.

Normally, he might not think too much about it.

But today...

At this moment, people from the Bird's Nest were leaving the venue sparsely. Yang Dalin looked at the center of the brightly lit venue. The picture scroll composed by people from all over the world was still lying there quietly, waiting for the ending.

He nodded seriously.

really.

They lived up to it.

Didn't let anyone down.

…

"Dad, Uncle Yang, Aunt Yang, then I won't care about you... I still have something to do here, and I have to direct people to evacuate the venue, including the security team who have to restore the venue overnight, so as not to affect the use of the next day. Also There are performances at the closing ceremony and so on...it's quite busy, okay? You just go, I can't go back until later."

After the success of the performance, Xu Xin suddenly became busy. After finishing speaking, he saw Xu Daqiang waving his hand:

"Go and do your business, you don't have to worry about it here! Just go and do your business!"

Xu Daqiang laughed as he spoke.

Face flushed.

Obviously, either his blood pressure is rising at this moment, or his mood is always in an exciting moment.

But anyway...

As a father, he is extremely gratified by his son's excellence.

I was so happy that I couldn't say any more words.

Seeing this, Xu Xin nodded, said hello to a few friends, and left with the walkie-talkie.

…

Is the work of the directing team finished?

Basically it's over.

Now, except for the closing ceremony, all the highlights have been a complete success.

As for the performance at the closing ceremony, it was actually more like a large-scale celebration than the solemn one before the Olympics.

Everyone was no longer in such a serious mood, and adopted a performance style based on ethnic minorities and modern technology, under the personal guidance of Chao Ge.

But compared to the opening ceremony, it was more about singing and dancing, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

There is no difficulty in performing.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to declare that the career of the directing team is a complete success.

But it’s not over until it’s over.

The audience watching can leave. Xu Xin, Jiang Haoyang and a group of directors are directing the removal and dismantling of large props step by step.

The scrolls and LED screens that carry special significance will be dismantled tonight, and then the Bird's Nest will be restored into a stadium that meets competitive standards.

The work is still very tedious.

Before Zhang Yimou left, he made a special statement:

"If you have any trouble, just go to Xiao Xu directly. Let me have a rest."

After leaving these words, he did not let anyone follow him.

With his hands behind his back, he walked away with a... unprecedented relaxed pace, leaving alone.

Even Wei Lanfang's camera no longer follows him.

However, everyone standing behind, including Xu Xin, could see it.

Although, Director Zhang's back is already bent.

But his steps were the briskest in the more than nine hundred days and nights.

…

2:00.

"Xugong, let's just say that, okay?"

"No problem, Director Xu, you can go and have a rest. Thank you for your hard work. Don't worry, leave it to us. The people from the organizing committee will come over early tomorrow morning to lay down the site. The demolition work will be completed before six o'clock tomorrow morning!"

"...Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Xu Xin nodded and finally took off his safety helmet.

He gently moved his hands away from the stacked LED screens and stood up slowly.

He turned his head and glanced at the flames above the Bird's Nest, waved to the demolition team of the security team, and walked towards the exit with heavy steps.

His steps were indeed heavy.

Some of them can't even walk anymore.

He has been working intensively in this sweltering heat for a whole day. The reason why he can persist until now is thanks to his youth and good physique.

Jiang Haoyang collapsed long ago.

In other words, as the opening ceremony ends...

Everyone's energy and spirit were so relaxed, and they really couldn't raise their spirits.

Fortunately, they have completed their mission and have about five days of vacation.

After the five-day holiday, everyone will rush to Daxing, where the backup training base will conduct the closing ceremony of group song and dance rehearsals.

As a directing team, they will basically spend the entire Olympics there in order to outline the final end of this chapter.

When walking along the corridor, he discovered that the actor's corridor, which was always very noisy, noisy, and crowded in his impression, was now empty at this moment.

A small piece of each Olympic prop will be selected and kept in the memorial hall.

And others...

Basically, throw away what should be thrown away and shelve what should be put on hold.

It’s quite interesting to say.

Spending hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands, it was basically nothing after this night. Maybe it can be reused, but it's definitely mostly "waste".

Obviously a few hours ago, they were extremely precious with these things...

Coupled with the corridor passage at this moment, the way things are different and people are different, it makes him feel...a very abstract feeling of alienation.

It feels like a world away.

It's been a long time.

As we walked along the passage, we saw several internal delivery vehicles on duty.

The driver saw Xu Xin coming out and quickly said hello:

"Director Xu, are you done?"

"Hey, thank you for your hard work."

Xu Xin responded.

In more than two years, he and the city of Yanjing have developed an incredible bond.

Being assimilated by this city, I developed the same historical and cultural habits as this city.

He got into the car directly and leaned on the chair. He heard the driver ask:

"To the parking lot? Or somewhere?"

"conference Center."

"okay."

The driver stepped on the pedal of the electric car and started to take him to the conference center not far away.

Xu Xin handed the driver a cigarette.

"Hey, thank you, Director Xu."

The driver thanked him and put the cigarette in the front glove box.

Didn't smoke.

Seeing this, Xu Xin asked:

"You don't smoke?"

"Smoke, but you can't smoke now. It's okay for you to smoke. You are a hero. If we people smoke and drive, maybe a foreigner will see it. This will affect the image of us Chinese people. …I’ll take you to the conference center in a moment, and I’ll get off the car and find a place to smoke.”

When the elder brother said this, his tone was full of pride.

It's like a work permit hanging on your chest.

Keep your head high.

Hearing this, Xu Xin was stunned, smiled and put the cigarette in the cigarette case.

yes.

It cannot affect the image of Chinese people.

At this time, the driver spoke:

"It's so exciting, Director Xu! Really! There were a lot of people gathered outside at that time. We watched the broadcast on the big screen and listened to the people inside shouting...many people cried! It was so exciting ! Really, it’s so exciting!”

"……Um."

Under the evening breeze.

Leaning on the seat of the tourist bus, Xu Xin looked at the lights of thousands of houses in Yanjing, nodded, and said sincerely:

"It's good that I didn't disappoint everyone."

"No! Absolutely not! Definitely the best-looking and most awesome class! Really! Many volunteers outside to maintain order couldn't stop crying. It's great, our team is great!"

"...ha~"

Xu Xin, who was too tired to open his mouth, nodded.

I could only nod.

The driver turned his head and glanced at the young man.

Looking at his sunken eye sockets and tired look, I didn't say much more.

I just drove the car more steadily.

They serve as Bird's Nest security personnel all year round, and the tourist buses transporting guests and staff from various countries make as many as fifty to one hundred trips a day near the Bird's Nest.

It’s so clear what road conditions, which bricks will bump, and where there are speed bumps.

So, just when Xu Xin was dozing off in a daze, the driver had already delivered him smoothly to the entrance of the International Convention Center.

"Director Xu, Director Xu, we are here."

If it were normal, the driver might not bother.

But the problem is... these directors work so hard. No matter how tired they are, they have to find a place with air conditioning, a bed and a pillow to sleep.

After hearing this, Xu Xin opened his eyes in a daze and nodded in response.

After rubbing my face, I got out of the car:

"Thank you, master."

"It's okay, it's okay. You've worked hard too. Please rest quickly. Then I'm going back?"

"Hey, okay."

In response, the tour bus left.

Xu Xin took a look at the conference center where the lights were still on but no one was there... After thinking about it, he realized that he couldn't walk any further.

If he was driving home in this state of mind, he might fall asleep at a traffic light.

So, I took my mobile phone and planned to send a message to my family that I would not go back tonight, and then quickly went back to the rest room to sleep.

But at this moment...

"Didi."

Two crisp trumpets caught his attention.

Turning around and looking...

A look of disbelief suddenly appeared in his cloudy eyes.

The driver's door of his Audi was opened.

His girlfriend wearing a peaked cap was smiling at him:

"Handsome, are you alone? Do you want to go home with me? My bed is quite big."

"..."

Instinctively, Xu Xin rubbed his eyes.

I looked around...

That virtue is like seeing a ghost.

But Yang Mi didn't say anything, just laughed at him.

until……

"Why are you here?"

"I was afraid that you would be too tired, so I went home to get the car keys and came here to wait for you."

"..."

Xu Xin was stunned.

And Yang Mi beckoned:

"Hurry up, you are so tired, why are you standing there? Go home and sleep. Uncle Xu and Brother Sanshui are still waiting for you at home."

"..."

Xu Xin, who was a little numb, instinctively walked to the car, while Yang Mi had already sat back in the car.

Opening the passenger door, a cool breeze blew in instantly.

It made him narrow his eyes in relief.

Then……

"What are you doing so late at night?"

"Come to pick you up."

Drive in gear.

Yang Mi wiped the steering wheel and said:

"When we were leaving just now, I saw that your eyes were bloodshot, so I asked Sister Wei. Sister Wei said that you all took an internal car to go to the Bird's Nest today. I took the spare car key from home and came here. ”

"...Then why don't you tell me in advance that you're here?"

"Wouldn't that be unromantic? Now, if I tell you in advance, you will either ask me to go back or you won't be able to get down to business. If something goes wrong while busy, it will be my fault. I Never."

"..."

Xu Xin was completely speechless. He leaned back on his chair and couldn't help but ask a core question:

"Aren't you afraid that I'll just take a taxi? What if you don't wait for me?"

"You don't know how to take a taxi."

She is full of confidence:

"When we left just now, I made a special observation. Not to mention the audience, as far as your internal staff passage, you have to go around in a big circle before you can reach the road. You are so tired. From the staff passage You can still walk a few hundred meters to take a taxi on the road? This is not your habit. I guess you will get into this internal car after walking out of the employee passage. After you get here, whether you are driving home or sleeping here , you have to come back here anyway, so I will come directly and wait."

What was revealed in her words was that she knew her boyfriend inside out and cared about the details to determine success or failure.

Was Xu Xin moved?

Quite touching.

But the problem is...

"You are so perverted...why are you so permeable?"

Hearing her boyfriend’s complaints, Yang Mi felt proud instead of ashamed:

"Do you think I have read Gu Xiaomeng's scripts in the past six months in vain? I have studied a lot of information, and these intelligence guesses are the simplest things~"

"Well……"

When he heard her mention "The Wind", Xu Xin was stunned and said:

"The script of "The Wind"..."

"Oops, stop."

Just as he was about to speak, Yang Mi covered his mouth.

Then he took out a thermos cup from the center console.

"You're so tired, don't use your brain. Here."

"……what?"

Puzzled, I unscrewed the lid and smelled it. It was medicine.

The thermos cup retains heat well and stays warm.

So I drank it all in one gulp, and was immediately stoked by the bitter taste.

As soon as she put down the cup, Yang Mi took out a cold cup from the car refrigerator in the central control unit and handed it to him.

Inside is sour plum soup.

The sweet and sour taste made Xu Xin drink it all in one breath and burped.

Completely comfortable...

He simply put the chair down. Just when he was about to squint for a while, he felt his hand on the armrest being held by someone.

He didn't even open his eyes, he just grabbed her hand and said out of nowhere:

"You...marry me..."

"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xin instinctively felt that the hand in his hand pinched him...

Then……

"OK."

The girl who was holding the steering wheel with one hand and was about to drive the car to the entrance of the North Fourth Ring Road gave a simple response.

The driving action is so handsome.

The response was even more simple and rude.

Then, she shook off her boyfriend's hand, took off the silver ring on the middle finger of her left hand that was holding the steering wheel, and put it on her ring finger.

"..."

Watch your girlfriend's moves.

Xu Xin slowly came back to his senses from the instinctive words... which were a bit hasty and seemed to be more casual in this atmosphere.

Then, he also took off the silver ring on his left middle finger and put it on his ring finger.

No need to say more.

Yang Mi's right hand was linked to his again.

calm.

absurd.

But the proposal actually happened.

Just in the express lane of the North Fourth Ring Bridge, it’s easy to complete.

There are no flowers.

There was no applause either.

The blessings or cheers of the crowd.

Not even communication.

Xu Xin just used his free right hand to press the A6's CD player.

Turn on the CD player, CD-3, DISC-1.

After less than two seconds of reading, the sound of an electric guitar sounded from the golden music disc that I had forgotten when I bought it.

There is no such thing as an oath of love.

Even this song has nothing to do with love.

However, after hearing the prelude, Yang Mi, as the fiancée, had already held her fiancé's hand tightly.

Then, the Japanese lyrics of the song sounded:

"The metropolis is the same, the servant is one person..."

Song title: "Slam Dunk" theme song - until the end of the world.

It doesn’t matter if the words don’t convey the meaning or the music doesn’t come from the heart.

The title of the song is enough.

During the singing, Xu Xin suddenly asked a somewhat stupid question:

"Why are you wearing it on your left hand?"

"...Don't they all wear their left hands? What's wrong?"

The girl who put her left hand on the upper area of ​​​​the steering wheel and looked at the road could see the silver ring on her ring finger at any time when the two of them were turning. They were looking for a silver ring made by a craftsman.

Then I heard my boyfriend say:

"I wear my left hand too."

"Yeah, what does the left hand say...the hand of God, it enhances luck. It's the same for men and women."

"...Then how can we hold hands in the future?"

"Isn't this a drag?"

"No, what I mean is... I saw in other TV series and movies, the hero and heroine were engaged and married, and when the close-ups were taken, there were rings on both hands."

"Yeah, then?"

"Then...didn't you notice this bug? You wear it on your left hand, and I wear it on my left hand. How can we both bring our hands with rings in front of the camera at the same time?...Shunhuai, didn't you notice it? "

"..."

Yang Mi drove, frowning and blinking.

Here comes the sentence:

"Why is your brain circuit so weird?"

"...I'm not kidding you. How can we hold hands and reveal the ring at the same time?"

"Idiot, why don't you just wear your right hand and walk on my left?"

"But wouldn't that be bad luck? Isn't this the hand of God?"

"Do you believe in God?"

"I don't believe it."

"Why do you care if you don't believe me?"

"But I'm used to wearing it on my left hand."

"I'm used to wearing it on my left hand. Then why didn't you think of this when we held hands before?"

"I don't know...so how on earth did they capture the scene with rings on both hands?"

"You are the director, why are you asking me?"

"...Engagement is not filming. How about you wear your right hand?"

"I believe in God!"

"Nonsense, don't you believe in Buddhism?"

"I believe more or less in gods, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Gods. It depends on the specific matter and what slogan I shout when solving the matter."

"Hey~~~~This is boring. Are you using strong words to make sense~"

"It's better than sitting in the passenger seat and proposing to someone, right?"

"...Didn't you agree too?"

"I feel pity for you."

"When you lift the ring, you move much faster than me. Admit it, you just like me, love me, and you can't live without me."

"Merciful Father, I have fallen into a kingdom where I cannot see sin..."

"..."

"Goose goose goose goose goose~"

…

When he got home, Xu Xin looked at the cars parked in front of his house and muttered to his fiancée:

"How is the decoration of our new house going?"

"It's almost done, let's let go of the smell... Oh, that's fine. We'll talk about these things later. You can quickly take a shower and rest."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Xin, who had already reached the door, hooked her waist.

Although he was tired, he still tried to prove that he was "okay" and said:

"Won't you shower with me on the first night of your engagement?"

"Okay~"

Accompanied by the non-existent music rhythm, the two of them danced in front of the house.

While spinning, she said:

"At most, I'll take a shower with you, and don't think about anything else. I'm so tired, little Xu Xin can't help but feel downcast."

"..."

Xu Xin was speechless.

Can this wheel roll over my face?

But I heard Yang Mi continue:

"Let's start adjusting for the jet lag these days, okay? You stay up late and work hard, and you age faster. Your body needs to start to slowly recover... you've been through too much in the past two years."

"Um……"

Xu Xin responded, but still didn't let go.

Continue to spin slowly in front of the house with your girlfriend to the rhythm of the silent music, sticking together tightly.

Anyway, there was no one on the road at the moment.

He's not shy either.

It doesn't matter to Yang Mi, she is a social cow.

only……

After shaking for a few times, Yang Mi suddenly asked in confusion:

"What song are you humming in your mind?"

"Hmm. Guess."

"The beat is right, isn't it?"

"Um."

Following her boyfriend's twisting rhythm, she squinted her eyes and felt it for a while, then suddenly hummed:

"When the sea~wind blows~five~thousand years...every teardrop seems to speak of your dignity~~"

"Let the sea~chao~ accompany me to protect~you~~Don't forget that my love will never change~yellow face... Hey, big brother, isn't it? In this romantic time, you hum "Pearl of the Orient"?"

"Just hum it casually~"

Xu Xin smiled.

"How did you guess that?"

"I don't know either. People say that a couple's heart weighs more than three hundred pounds... Maybe this is a connection with your heart?"

"……hey-hey."

Squinting his eyes, he and his fiancée continued to dance with her in this silent night, borrowing a song that was equally inappropriate but one that he found particularly pleasant.

until……

The light of car lights lit up at the entrance of Shijia Hutong.

"..."

He quickly let go of Yang Mi and took out the key from his pocket.

"Let's go, let's go into the house."

"..."

Yang Mi was speechless.

He shook his head helplessly:

"You are so thin-skinned that you are as ignorant as a dog."

After Xu Xin opened the door, both of them saw the lights on in the living room.

"...My dad hasn't gone to bed yet?"

"I don't know... Oh, by the way, Uncle Xu and my dad have made an appointment to go to the Olympics tomorrow. Will you go?"

"I won't go. I've had enough... I'll sleep at home tomorrow and won't go anywhere."

As Xu Xin said, he had already walked to the window of the house.

At a glance, he saw Xu Daqiang dozing off on the sofa with his head tilted.

Seeing this, he quickly opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Xu Daqiang opened his eyes.

After seeing Xu Xin in a daze, he might not have woken up, but a smile appeared on his face:

"Oh, you're back?"

"Well, dad, you're not going to bed yet?"

"Sleep, sleep, Mimi went to pick you up. Wait, you two... um, are you hungry?"

With that said, Xu Daqiang stood up and walked to his son.

Xu Xin shook his head:

"I'm not hungry, Dad, we both..."

As soon as the words were spoken, Yang Mi suddenly coughed behind her.

"Ahem..."

Xu Xin was stunned.

I thought to myself, why don't you let me talk about this?

Xu Daqiang was also a little puzzled.

asked:

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay... I'll tell you when I wake up tomorrow. Dad, go to bed early, I'm tired too."

Hearing this, Xu Daqiang smiled and nodded.

He glanced at his son's thin cheek again, and his tone was full of inexplicable emotions:

"Tomorrow, Dad is going to watch the Olympics with your Uncle Yang. Don't worry about it. Sleep well. When you wake up, ask Mimi to make some mutton noodles for you. Dad has already cooked the noodles. Do you understand?"

"Hey, okay... let's go back to the house. Why is my brother going tomorrow?"

"Is there something wrong with him...Okay, let's go."

No longer delaying his son's sleep time, Xu Daqiang waved his hand and walked back to the house.

Yang Mi pushed Xu Xin all the way back to the bedroom and said:

"What are you talking about now? If you want to say it, you have to tell it tomorrow. Otherwise, Uncle Xu will get excited and won't sleep tonight? It's so hot today, and they will go to the Olympics tomorrow. It will be very tiring! It's only appropriate to tell it tomorrow. "

"...Tsk."

Xu Xin's eyes were filled with emotion.

I didn’t tell my girlfriend about air conditioning in other venues, but I couldn’t help but hug her again:

"You said you are so blind. How come you have fallen in love with me in this life?"

"...Huh, I'm glad."

After saying something arrogant in her fiancé's arms, she quickly broke away:

"Okay, go take a shower and go to bed!"

As he said that, he pinched Xu Xin's nose:

"Tomorrow, I will make sure that my baby will have a steaming bowl of mutton noodles to eat after he wakes up naturally, okay?"

The words were full of care and tenderness.

Extremely gentle.
