I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 221 219. She fell asleep

"...Why are you here?"

Xu Xin was obviously surprised.

Especially when I saw Zhang Jiao.

The person in front of me with black-rimmed glasses, a ponytail, and a large, considerate shirt was completely different from the photo-substitute character in palace attire that I remembered.

What is this... COS Du Lala?

After hearing this, Zhao Liying subconsciously replied:

"We live here... Director Xu, why are you here?"

"Well."

Xu Xin thought for a while and replied with a smile:

"My friend drives it."

However, although it was unexpected to meet these two girls here, he at least remembered the business, so he nodded towards them:

"Okay, you two eat first, and I'll go out for a while."

After saying that, he walked out quickly.

After he left, Zhao Liying and Zhang Jiao looked at each other...

"what's the situation?"

"How would I know……"

"..."

"..."

…

Xu Xin came back very quickly. There were red envelopes in the supermarket nearby. After buying one, he put two thousand yuan in cash inside.

It's not about providing financial aid, but knowing that Brother Li's child will be in the first grade of junior high school at the beginning of school.

It's a gift for further education.

Just a little thought.

Those two bottles of mountain ginseng wine are the same thing.

Speaking of which...this wine is really tonic.

At this moment, his whole body felt hot, like a ball of fire. But it's not dry heat, but a very warm heat.

Very comfortable.

She put the red envelope in her pocket and walked back to the hotel. Zhang Jiao, who had been paying attention to the door movement, subconsciously stood up.

But Xu Xin waved his hand and pointed at the single room inside.

What he meant was "I went over first."

Then go into the single room.

But after Zhang Jiao and Zhao Liying saw it, his pointing movements seemed to have hidden meanings.

Zhang Jiao is from Northeast China and often eats here.

When I first saw the photos of Director Xu and Jay Chou on the wall, I thought they only came here to eat once in a while, but the boss caught me and took a photo.

This is quite common in Hengdian.

Celebrities are also human beings, and they cannot eat in hotels every day for several months.

So it's not unusual for celebrities to take photos in some hotels.

But today I heard from Director Xu that Brother Li was their friend. As a fellow villager, Zhang Jiao, who also got along well with Brother Li and his wife, was not surprised at all, so she asked the bun opposite, "Director Xu." Should we go there?" She didn't know how to answer the question.

Then when faced with Zhao Liying's question "Should we go over and have a toast?", she didn't know how to answer.

after all……

It must be a bit presumptuous to go. She didn't think Director Xu's action meant to let the two of them pass.

But what lies before reality is...

Past gains have also been substantial.

She felt... Yang Mi must be in the private room.

After Director Xu's pointing gesture came out, the two of them went to toast. Although it could be seen as very utilitarian... But after all, as the two maids behind "Jiang Chan", they were not "born" with Yang Mi. .

If you can show your face, or if you can sit at a table and chat for a few words...

It may bring a different turn to Baozi's career.

Therefore, at this time, although Baozi knew that he was unsure, he asked himself. But Zhang Jiao still couldn't make a decision for the other party.

Because...this is indeed an opportunity.

So she said:

"You make your own decision. If you decide to go, I will accompany you. But there is only one thing... you must pay attention to the propriety of your words. Don't say everything out loud. No matter what you want to say, you should give it three seconds to think about it when you say it. Think about it, okay?"

Zhao Liying also looked cautious:

"Don't worry, I understand."

"... Let's go. First, ask for a bottle of wine. Go in with a cup in hand. Don't worry about what people drink. When you enter, politely say "Director Xu, we'll toast you with a glass of wine." If you see Yang Mi, pretend to be surprised first, and then don't say anything. Be friendly, be respectful, and call Sister Mi politely. Don't ask "Sister Mi, are you here too?" or what you are doing. Just make a toast and that's it. Then after toasting Director Xu, I'm toasting Yang Mi, and then I'm toasting others. People. After everyone has paid their respects, if they have no intention of exchanging greetings, they should politely exit, do you understand?"

"Okay, okay! Then let's each get a bottle."

"Well, let's go!"

The two stood up and walked to the freezer to get beers.

And the other side.

After Xu Xin entered the single room, he said in a rather unexpected tone:

"Guess who's outside?"

"Who?"

The drinker's face was still flushed. Even though Xu Xin was gone, there were still a few peanuts. Yang Mi took a sip of wine and asked in confusion.

"Zhao Liying and Zhang Jiao."

"Zhao..."

Yang Mi was stunned and said uncertainly:

"Just the two from "Golden Armor"?"

"Yes, do you still remember?"

"That's right, I can come up with a "Xinhua Dictionary" by just turning my brain around! What do you think?"

Xu Xin's heart felt hot when she saw her drunk state from the inside out.

Yang Mi asked curiously:

"Then what? Did we chat? Did we recognize you?"

"Yes, that day I..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Xin thought it was a waiter and shouted directly:

"Enter."

The door was pushed open, and Zhao Liying, who was leading the charge, walked in with a look of apprehension on her face.

A cup in one hand and a wine bottle in the other:

"Director Xu, let's toast you with a drink... uh... ah? Hello, Sister Mi."

Looking at the girl with wide-eyed surprise, Yang Mi felt a little dazed.

I haven’t seen her for more than 2 years, and there are some changes in this girl... There are quite a lot of acne on her face.

After seeing Zhang Jiao walking in behind, she actually had a deeper impression of Zhang Jiao than Zhao Liying.

The first is that this girl is the kind of cold and pretty girl.

This is her preferred type.

The second thing is that when this girl was chosen by her fiancé to be the lighting replacement, she herself participated in a few scenes and watched this girl remain silent for more than an hour, her down-to-earth demeanor being whatever the lighting engineer and photographer put her way.

Compared to Zhao Liying, who knew at first glance that she couldn't hide something in her heart, she actually had a better sense of Zhang Jiao.

Therefore, without the two of them taking the initiative, Yang Mi waved directly:

"Oh, it's you. Come in, come in. Xu Xin, sit here with me."

She is also an actor and has been an actor since she was a child. She has to be more sensitive and meticulous in grasping the thoughts of many young actors.

He immediately made room for the two of them.

Xu Xin didn’t think much about it.

He had drunk too much by now, and his sanity was beginning to shrink.

So he obediently took the plate and sat on the other side of the square table, leaving two empty seats.

"Come on, come on, you two, sit down quickly, it's been a long time!"

Yang Mi waved for the two of them to sit down.

Zhao Liying's eyes flashed with joy, while Zhang Jiao was a little surprised.

However, their "purpose" was basically achieved.

"Thank you, Sister Mi."

Zhao Liying’s words.

"Sorry to disturb Sister Mi and Director Xu."

These are Zhang Jiao's words.

However, just when Zhao Liying was stupidly about to sit down, Zhang Jiao, who already knew her friend deeply, spoke first:

"Director Xu, Sister Mi, we both want to toast you two..."

Zhao Liying woke up from a dream and quickly stood up straight.

"Oh, you don't have to be so polite."

Yang Mi said polite words and had a spring breeze smile on her face.

But he didn't wave his hand, but picked up the cup.

Obviously, the words were polite, but the toast between the two of them was "natural" on this occasion.

She held the cup, and so did Xu Xin.

Zhang Jiao quickly said:

"Thank you, Sister Mi, Director Xu...we have done it, you two can do whatever you want."

"Uh-huh."

Yang Mi responded with a smile, and after the two of them clinked their glasses with the white wine cups, they both raised their heads and drank. Yang Mi also drank half a cup of wine.

Xu Xin is more direct.

He drank it all in one gulp.

When the fragrance mixed with bitterness entered his throat and had a shudder, the rolling heat seemed to fill his ammunition depot with another batch of heavy missiles.

This wine...

It's really good.

It's a pity...

Jielun can't drink.

But if you want to change to a lower alcohol content, it won’t hurt your throat so much. Or just drink a little occasionally, that should be fine...

His mind began to wander.

After finishing her drink, Yang Mi pressed her hands:

"Sit down, have something to eat and chat. How are you doing now?"

"Very good, Sister Mi."

As soon as Zhao Liying finished speaking, Zhang Jiao took her hand.

He pinched his friend's leg in a subtle way.

With your answer, how can others ask?

The question is not about whether you are good or not, but about what you have been doing in the past two years.

After all, after filming Golden Armor, everyone went their separate ways. We haven’t seen each other for two years. If we want to chat, we must first talk about the situation.

When you say "very good", do people think you are trying to be brave or do you not want to say more?

So we definitely can’t talk like this today.

There must be answers, not questions and answers.

After all... I gave you the honor to sit at this table.

So, after squeezing her legs, Zhang Jiao said:

"After listening to Director Xu, Baozi went to Suzhou and Hangzhou after "Golden Armor" ended. Sister Mi, do you know "Yahoo Star Search"?"

Sure enough, compared to Zhao Liying's answer.

Zhang Jiao's topic introduction obviously made Yang Mi more interested.

She casually picked up the lighter on the table, lit the fire with a "click" as soon as her fiancé took a cigarette in his mouth, and handed it to his mouth.

But he never looked at his fiancé next to him from beginning to end. He just smiled and shook his head:

"No, what is that?"

"An artist talent show was organized by Yahoo. On the night when the filming was finalized in Hengdian, didn't the two of us chat with Director Xu, who gave us some development directions. She..."

Pointing at Zhao Liying, Zhang Jiao said politely:

"After listening to Director Xu's words, Baozi went to participate in the "Yahoo Star Search", and then became the champion of Director Feng's group and signed a contract with Huayi."

"Yeah, that's okay. But I haven't watched the show yet..."

Hearing Yang Mi's words, Zhao Liying nodded quickly:

"Special thanks to Director Xu for showing me such a path...Thank you, Director Xu...I respect you..."

"Well……"

Xu Xin was stunned.

He had just finished the cup...he didn't eat a bite of the food, but took two puffs of cigarette.

At this moment, Zhang Jiao stood up quickly after being stunned for a moment, but said to Zhao Liying:

"Let Director Xu take a moment, don't be impatient... Director Xu, I'll pour you some wine."

After taking the wine bottle, she carefully filled Xu Xin with wine, then held her arm and said to Yang Mi:

"Sister Mi, let me add some for you."

"Um."

Yang Mi stared at her with a smile and responded.

Only then did Zhao Liying react...

I was too impatient.

There was something...awkward in his eyes.

At this time, after Zhang Jiao, who had already filled Yang Mi's glass of wine, sat down again, Zhao Liying felt her friend pinch her leg again.

be honest.

If it were anyone else, she might have felt...that this person was stabbing her in the back.

Obviously he is an actor, but the other party steals his limelight like this.

But the problem is that these two years of contact have made her particularly dependent on Jiaojiao for everything.

I also know... Jiaojiao is really smart.

Much stronger than myself.

She... really trusts Jiaojiao.

Therefore, after pinching her leg this time, Zhao Liying understood that in today's game, she had to give Jiaojiao the full say.

She has already had her legs pinched twice by Jiaojiao.

Only then did Yang Mi say:

"Baozi, how is the competition within Huayi?"

"Well……"

Zhao Liying's mind began to swing wildly.

What should I say?

how to answer?

Jiaojiao help...

But the problem is that Zhang Jiao can't answer this question.

If she were to stand up, she would easily be thought to be incapable of speaking.

She has come round twice.

Although it's harmless... But the problem is, isn't the main purpose of coming here to toast today to promote steamed buns?

She could only wait for Zhao Liying to finish her answer and then see what she would say.

And Zhao Liying's mind was already a little confused.

Just when I was thinking about what to say, suddenly an idea flashed in my mind...

Director Xu’s doggy face is now possessed by his soul!

One sentence blurted out:

"Sister Mi, I... don't know much about her."

Under Yang Mi's interested gaze, she shook her head:

"Director Xu said that actors only need to act well...and I am not very transparent in the company. I have been to the company twice in the two years since I signed the contract. I usually stay here in Hengdian, so I really don't know much about it."

Yang Mi didn’t care whether she was satisfied or not.

After hearing this, Xu Xin nodded:

"That's the right thing to do."

Holding a cigarette in his mouth, he nodded, recalling in his mind the girl's seemingly clumsy appearance, but through the script filled with various expression simulations and psychological speculations, it turned into a booster of satisfaction at this moment:

"As an actor, acting skills always come first. Don't worry about what the company does or what it does. Honing your acting skills must be the first element and the first criterion. If you stick to it, you will definitely be on the right path."

"Uh... uh-huh! Thank you, Director Xu, I'll remember it."

After listening to Zhao Liying's words, Zhang Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.

And Yang Mi also nodded with a smile:

"You two live here? What will you do if there is an audition somewhere else?"

"Generally...no."

After Zhao Liying answered, she felt somewhat relaxed after not feeling Jiaojiao pinch her leg, and then continued:

"There are still more opportunities in Hengdian. If the company introduces me to auditions, I will go. If the company doesn't audition, I will run the crew here myself. That's why I have been living here. It is more convenient to go anywhere. "

"Oh~~~~"

Yang Mi nodded, then turned to Zhang Jiao and asked:

"What about you? What do you mean... you quit this business?"

"It's not...not really."

Zhang Jiao shook her head slightly:

"What I'm interested in is costume design... After "The Golden Jacket" ended, the two of us also ran for several crews and worked as extras. But later we found that the pressure in this industry was still too much, so we applied for a job here. Fu Huadao’s company is mainly responsible for the design of costumes and props.”

"Occasionally Jiaojiao also takes on modeling shooting jobs."

Suddenly, Zhao Liying said this.

Zhang Jiao's mouth twitched.

Sister, you are making a fool of yourself!

I'm here to set you off, why did you mention me being a model?

But what Zhao Liying thought was quite simple...

The charming model is also very popular. She is tall and has long legs.

Even if the director is not allowed to take a fancy to it...

So he continued:

"There are quite a few people who ask her to take photos. She takes photos of the clothing models used by her company to promote women's clothing."

Hearing this, Zhang Jiao became even more speechless.

But after Yang Mi glanced at Zhang Jiao, she raised her wine glass with a smile:

"Well, indeed, you two actually have two styles. One is cute and pure, and the other has a cool temperament. They are quite unique, right?"

As the two of them held the cups respectfully, Yang Mi said to Xu Xin standing aside.

Xu Xin squinted his eyes and blew out a stream of smoke.

In the smoke, he looked at the two people's faces with a scrutinizing gaze and nodded:

"Yeah, indeed."

In terms of aesthetics, he actually prefers Zhang Jiao.

Because the other party has a unique advantage.

Small breasts.

She has a cold temperament, plus she has small breasts and long legs.

In fact, there is a big difference in height between her and Zhao Liying, but when they stand together, the first impression is always that she is taller than Zhao Liying.

Paired with that cold temperament, it is indeed more eye-catching than Zhao Liying.

Even if she wears black-rimmed glasses now...

Women with small breasts do wear clothes that look more elegant than those with large breasts.

After nodding, he picked up the cup.

…

The four of them didn't chat for long.

About half an hour or so.

In fact, we didn’t talk about much, mainly talking about recent developments and the like.

Although Zhang Jiao and Zhao Liying both saw what appeared to be the same silver rings on the ring fingers of Director Xu and Sister Mi, neither of them asked.

However, when leaving, Yang Mi left their phone numbers.

When Xu Xin was leaving, while Brother Li wasn't paying attention, he put the red envelope on the counter with the words "There are roads in the mountains of books, and hard work is the path, and there is no limit to the sea of ​​learning."

In this way, the four of them parted.

After the two girls greeted them respectfully, they left with a full bottle and one third of the bottle left, as if they were taking a walk in the dark night.

After Xu Xin and Yang Mi walked away, Zhao Liying held her chest and breathed a long sigh of relief, and quickly asked Zhang Jiao:

"Jiaojiao, did I say something wrong later?"

Zhang Jiao shook her head slightly:

"No, you performed great!"

"...hehehehe~"

Zhao Liying immediately smiled.

And Zhang Jiao followed up with another sentence;

"It's just... why do you bring up my modeling career? I tried my best to steer the topic towards you, why do you bring this up?"

"Why can't you mention it?"

Zhao Liying looked casual:

"We are called sisters working together, which is as powerful as gold! If you want to get rich, let's get rich together! Hahaha~"

Smiling, her face was full of seriousness:

"We will be good sisters for life. I know that the words you said today, including the words you didn't let me say, are all for my own good. I will always trust you! But it is precisely because of this that I cannot be Little man, I can hide my feelings from others, but I will never hide my feelings from you! Jiaojiao, don’t worry! I understand you!”

"..."

Zhang Jiao's mouth twitched...

"What do you know about me? You know nothing... If it weren't for me today, we would have sat at that table for five minutes at most!... I'm not talking about you, why do you speak so strangely! When people ask you how you are doing lately, you It's just a good thing and then it's over? Why are you so big-hearted? Huh? Won't you think about it more! I told you before that you have a bit of a discerning eye... You said, Director Xu has just finished a glass of wine , when you smoke a cigarette, you have to hold a glass! The problem is that you drink beer, while others drink liquor..."

"..."

Zhao Liying was stunned...

Suddenly a hand covered Zhang Jiao's mouth:

"Shh, stop talking and kiss me."

"Get out of here...you're so mad at me!"

"Oh, oh, master, don't read it!!!"

"Don't run away, just stand there!! I'm so angry..."

…

"This Zhang Jiao... I didn't notice it before, but it seems a bit interesting today. She is a smart person, a very smart kind of person."

"Well……"

Xu Xin was speechless:

"I noticed something wrong with you."

"...?"

Looking at Yang Mi's confused eyes, Xu Xin shook his head:

"You see, everyone is a smart person. No matter who you evaluate, it will always be the same sentence: He is a smart person. Zhang Jiao is a smart person, Liu Zhishi is a smart person with ideas in his heart, Tang Yan is a smart person with many thoughts... What do you say? There is nothing stupid in this world.”

He complained about his girlfriend’s “catchphrase.”

But who would have thought that Yang Mi would say:

"No fool can survive in this circle."

"Well……"

"Just like Wang Baogen, he plays Sha Gen, Xu Sanduo is also Sha Gen, but you don't think he is really stupid, right? An actor who was born as a bit player in Hengdian has now become the number one "idiot" actor candidate. When the audience sees him, they will know that he is "stupid", but the question is who wants to treat him as a fool, that is the real fool... In this circle, we don't talk about people who can survive, but they can avoid being eliminated. , Where are the fools?”

Unexpectedly, I started to be stunned by Xu Xin who was taking education class...

asked:

"What about Zhao Liying?"

"I can only say that this girl has a good life."

"……Why?"

"Because she has a friend next to her who is so wholeheartedly helping her... Haven't you noticed? Today, Zhang Jiao is actually praising Zhao Liying both inside and outside her words."

"...But I am quite pleased with Zhao Liying's performance."

Hearing this, Yang Mi nodded:

"That's true, she has a conscience. She doesn't need to mention that Zhang Jiao is also a model today and has not given up on the film and television industry. As long as she follows Zhang Jiao's pace, she will definitely have a higher impression in front of us today... …But that’s where the preciousness ends, right?”

"Who says it's not..."

Xu Xin sighed with emotion:

"Assistant Shen and the others all told me at the beginning that the actors in Hengdian always do one thing in front of others and another behind the scenes...the more they stab others, the harder they are. At that time, I was quite worried about how long the two of them could maintain this friendship...but now It seems like it’s really not easy.”

"So because of Zhang Jiao, my impression of her has improved a lot. Although this girl looks a little silly and sweet... Of course, I may have made a mistake. But no matter what... my life is pretty good. With Zhang Jiao helping her like this...sigh..."

"...What are you sighing for?"

"Because I like Zhang Jiao, and I just lack an image manager. Her clothes are pretty good."

"...T-shirt, black pants and a pair of slippers are called clothing items?"

"What do you know...I was the one who matched your outfit. Someone said you were ugly in your clothes?"

"Well……"

Looking at her boyfriend's somewhat embarrassed expression, Yang Mi shook her head:

"Details, baby. Clothes are actually details, not what you wear, but how you dress up...Besides, it is easy to worry about keeping a smart person around. Qiqi is not very smart, and she is not like Tingting. He knows how to use his brain. But for the second assistant, he doesn’t ask for intelligence, just loyalty. But I really like this little girl Zhang Jiao... but I can’t bear to ruin their friendship... I’m afraid that without Zhang Jiao, Zhao Liying will The girl was tricked and her head was bruised and bloody...Tsk, tsk."

After talking to herself for a while, when her fiancé made no move, she turned around and glanced...

He saw his fiancé's eyes staring straight in one direction.

"...?"

Yang Mi looked over in confusion, and what she saw was an abnormally bright light in the dark night.

She subconsciously squinted her eyes and saw the words on the plaque:

"Adult Products."

"..."

She was speechless and asked:

"What do you want to do?"

"...The wine is a bit strong today."

"Hey~~~~~"

Yang Mi’s eyes were filled with disgust:

"...Tsk."

Xu Xin’s eyes were filled with regret:

"There's no one around right now. It would be a shame not to go in and take a look."

"Come and see for yourself during the day tomorrow!"

"I'm embarrassed during the day...I'm thin-skinned."

"Why do you act like a little girl..."

"Why do you act like an old man..."

"Hey~~~~~"

This time it was Xu Xin's turn to be disgusted.

Pooh.

You are really stupid.

…

All the way back to the hotel.

When they entered the hotel lobby from the concierge desk, neither of them noticed...

Just before the "Golden Armor" period, in front of the trash can at the door where Xu Xin often smoked, Liu Zhishi's second economy Li Minnian was looking at the two people blankly...

Director Xu...and Yang Mi...

Is it true...

After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone, edited a message and sent it to Cai Yinong:

"Mr. Cai, I just met Xu Xin and Yang Mi. They should have gone out for a drink and then returned to the hotel together."

As an agent, he is very aware of the value of labels such as the Olympic Games, Ouchi General Manager, Zhang Yimou, and Xiying Studio. Especially at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, there were also artists from the Tang Dynasty among the stars who sang in the chorus, and there were also artists from the Tang Dynasty at the song awards ceremony at the Ancestral Temple...

Xu Xin's abilities were unknown to other companies but not to him.

But for Tang people...if the two of them really have that kind of relationship.

That……

Some things are really well thought out.

…

Xu Xin and Yang Mi didn't know what happened after they entered the hotel lobby.

The two of them are actually quite artificial.

There are four elevators, one for each person.

Xu Xin first put the wine back in the room he didn't stay in all night, and then took the elevator to the floor of Yang Mi's room. After looking around to make sure no one was there, he walked in with the room card.

When she walked in, Yang Mi was sitting on the sofa playing with her cell phone.

After seeing him come in, he waved.

Xu Xin was happy:

"Hey hey hey, Elder Tang..."

But Yang Mi didn't mean to play around, but handed him the phone.

Xu Xin was stunned and saw a text message when he took it:

"Mimi, I'm Hustu. I asked Huo Jianhua for your phone number. I've wanted to invite you to dinner for several days, but you seem to be very busy. Are you free tomorrow? Let's have dinner together?"

"...?"

After realizing something was wrong, Xu Xin looked at his fiancée speechlessly:

"what is this?"

Yang Mi did not answer, she just shook her head and said:

"Shall we make it public?"

"Well……"

Xu Xin's mind was a little confused.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly said:

"Can I reply to him?"

"scold him?"

"How can I? My quality is not that bad."

After saying that, Xu Xin typed a line of words.

Yang Mi didn't stop her, she just took the phone again and saw a reply:

"She fell asleep."
