I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 230 228 The tip of the iceberg

Chapter 230 228. The tip of the iceberg

Putting aside the turmoil in Zhang Jing's heart after hearing these words, how should she not mention Director Xu Xin's father being able to have dinner with the elders of Tiantian's family in the future...

Let’s just talk about Xu Xin.

"Director Xu, here, here, here, I've got a good seat for you!"

When Xu Xin, who had had enough rest and bought a bottle of water with a meal card that had not been used for a long time in the cafeteria, walked into the classroom just in time for the bell to ring, he suddenly heard this sentence.

Then he raised his head.

It's not that he is narcissistic. When people call him "Director Xu", they know he is talking about himself.

It's just a matter of habit.

During the Olympic Games, the thousands of people under my command also shouted "Director Xu, Director Xu".

He's really used to it.

No one dared to call him Xiao Xu.

Even if he is younger.

Those who can call "Xiao Xu" are all members of the core team. Others call Xiao Xu...

Well, Xu Xin has never heard of it anyway.

So, upon hearing this title, he raised his head out of habit.

Then I saw two... familiar yet unfamiliar faces.

Familiar because I have seen it.

Strangeness is...

Who is here...

Whose family is it? Who is it?

Or who is guilty...

However, he did not dare to delay.

After all, so many people in this big classroom are looking at him... for fear of another cheer or applause or something. In addition, the location of these two people is really good, right on the edge of the middle row of the classroom.

Easy to get on and off.

So he walked over.

Little did he know that when Bao Beier saw Xu Xin walking this way, she felt excited and quickly stood up to help push down the folding stool that was the only empty seat next to her.

When he stood up, his waist was bent.

Because I have to press the stool board.

But that look seemed a bit attentive.

Regardless of what other people looked at, Bao Wenjing’s eyes showed a trace of sadness and grievance...

At this time, Xu Xin also walked to the seat.

He pressed the stool board first, and then said politely:

"Thanks."

"Hey, you're welcome. Director Xu, long time no see."

"...Haha, yes, long time no see."

Xu Xin still hasn't remembered who this person is.

But we can only keep saying pleasantries, otherwise it will be embarrassing...

However, at this moment...

He suddenly noticed the girl's arm next to this person.

The girl is wearing a long-sleeved dress today.

The sleeves on both arms are not cotton but tulle.

Very transparent.

Not the whole body, but the two arms.

And Xu Xin easily saw a very conspicuous cigarette scar on the other party's arm through the white gauze.

Just above the left arm.

Smoke scar?

Being able to enter the school means that he must be an actor.

Does the actor have a cigarette scar? What kind of stupidity is this...huh?

"Click~"

A thunderous lightning struck Xu Xin's mind.

Actor, Smoke Scar...

The one whose fiancée said was "hopelessly stupid"...whose family is the younger one...

Bao... Bao Wenjing?

Bao Wenjing?

Then this man is...

In a daze, the image of Bao Wenjing's boyfriend at the premiere of "The Secret That Can't Be Told" overlapped with the image of the young man with short sleeves and short hair in front of him.

Her boyfriend seems to have the same surname, right?

Also named Bao?

what do you say that is?

I really couldn't remember it for a moment, but all he needed to remember was the last name.

He took the initiative to say hello to the two of them:

"What a coincidence. Why are you guys here? We haven't seen each other for a long time since the last premiere."

Seeing that Xu Xin still remembered him, Bao Beier's eyes flashed with joy, and he nodded with a smile:

"Yes, Director Xu, long time no see. Today... I came to attend the class with Wen Jing."

Although he had no plan to let his girlfriend come with him before, now it became an excuse to get close to him. Bao Beier continued:

"Both of us are doing internships, but studying is also very important. In addition, we are both preparing to take the postgraduate entrance examination, so we still have to listen to these courses. And I also know that Director Xu is also here... Today is a big class, there are many people, I just wanted to help Director Xu get a seat in advance."

Saying this is equivalent to announcing your identity and telling people around you, "We are not sophomores."

then……

Where Xu Xin could or could not see it, many people around the three people seated had disdain on their faces.

How snobbish.

You might as well say that you are here for Xu Xin.

Still hiding it...

How hypocritical.

I don’t know how many people have this idea in their minds.

But what they don't know is that maybe in the next two or three years, a feeling of regret will arise in their hearts.

If I had known... When I was in school, I would also be embarrassed to get to know Director Xu.

Maybe it’s another status quo?

Of course, these things are fanciful. Regardless of what other people think now, Bao Beier knows that at least his goal has been achieved.

As for face?

Utilitarian or not...

We don’t know each other, so I don’t care what they think of me?

After hearing this, Xu Xin seemed to smile more innocently after having a clear grasp of the mind of this... person who had forgotten his name:

"Then I really have to thank you, senior."

He remembered... Wen Jing's boyfriend seemed to be older than Yang Mi.

Then be bigger than yourself.

Just call me senior.

Just a title.

Upon hearing this title, Bao Beier quickly shook his head:

"No, no, no, no, Director Xu, you're welcome. It's what you should do."

"Um……"

Xu Xin nodded and took out the teaching materials.

And Bao Beier was also smart enough to stop talking and not talk.

Not in a hurry……

And eating...

So, with the arrival of the teacher, this big class officially began.

…

A class ends normally.

"Director Xu, what class do you have this afternoon? Wen Jing and I were able to attend such a big award ceremony last time. We always wanted to thank you..."

"No."

Xu Xin smiled and shook his head:

"I have something to do in the afternoon, so I probably won't be able to attend the classes for the next two days."

"Ah? That's...that's right. Then...can I leave you with your contact information? When will you be free? Wen Jing and I will treat you to dinner. Wen Jing is doing an internship in her senior year, and her classmates are also very far apart. Yes, I even said that I would have a dinner date with Yang Mi."

"Hmm... ok. But I'm going to change my mobile phone number soon. There are so many people who know this number during the Olympics. There are phone numbers from various manufacturers, sales calls, etc... I'm planning to get a new card. …In this way, I’ll save your phone number and I’ll send it to you when I change the card this afternoon and start sending out group phone notifications.”

"Well……"

After Bao Beier was stunned for a moment, he suddenly became embarrassed when he smiled.

But he didn’t say anything and started giving his phone number.

Xu Xin did take out his mobile phone and pressed the dial button.

But after pressing it, it hung up.

"Okay, I'll keep it for now and send it to you in the afternoon. Let's make an appointment for dinner when we have time. Let's go now."

After saying that, Xu Xin nodded and walked directly out of the classroom with the book in hand.

Later, I only heard Bao Beier's movements:

"Director Xu, please walk slowly."

"OK Bye Bye."

Turning around and waving his hands, Xu Xin walked out of the classroom.

"..."

Bao Beier glanced at Bao Wenjing...

His face looked a little unsightly.

But he didn’t say anything, he just said:

"Let's... let's go too."

"……Um."

Bao Wenjing responded, then whispered:

"Husband, it's okay. You will definitely be no worse than him in the future. Don't worry!"

"..."

After hearing this, Bao Beier didn't want to say anything more.

But Bao Wenjing's next words made him feel better:

"It's okay, it's a big deal... I'll call Yang Mi and beg her. As long as... I'm sure that the relationship between the two is really that kind of relationship. They are both classmates, and they had a good relationship before... I'll go and beg her, okay?"

"...Let's talk about it later."

"Yeah, let's go, let's go eat, I'm already hungry..."

The two walked hand in hand towards the outside of the classroom.

…

Inside the Audi car.

Xu Xin put a Bluetooth headset in his ear and dialed Yang Mi's number.

"Dudu... da."

The call is connected.

But no one spoke, Xu Xin only heard a knocking sound.

"……Hello?"

"Da da da."

"?? What's the movement?"

Thinking there was something wrong with the call, Xu Xin took a look at the co-pilot's cell phone.

But the phone remained open.

what's the situation?

"Hey, can you hear me?"

"Da da da da..."

"anyone there?"

"Da da da da..."

"..."

He hung up the phone directly and called again.

The result was still a clicking sound.

"Hello??"

His movement became a little louder, and then Yang Mi's voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Oh, you're not interesting. You're really bad at your homework..."

"……What are you doing?"

Xu Xin was speechless:

"Why don't you speak?"

"I said it."

"What did you say?"

"Just... da da da da da..."

"What is this?"

Listening to the familiar knocking sound, Xu Xin became more and more puzzled.

Until Yang Mi said:

"Morse code, what do you think? I'm reading the script of "The Wind", and your call made me laugh!"

"..."

For a moment, Xu Xin was completely speechless.

"Are you poisonous? There is no live demonstration of Morse code in the script. Why are you thinking about this?"

"No... I'm just simulating this kind of mentality... Forget it, I'm just telling you the truth. What's the matter with you, little Xuzi? I think I, the eldest daughter of the Tang family, have a lot of things to do, and I'm busy here. What's the matter with you? Son, tell me quickly. Are you being bullied at school? Make a list and wait. When I get home, I will take care of everything with a punch!"

"..."

Don't tell me, she's a bit unruly and unruly, like the eldest daughter of the Gu family.

It's just a little too "Beijing".

"Okay, stop making trouble and get down to business. Do you know who I met in class just now?"

"who?"

"Bao Wenjing, and her boyfriend."

"Bao Beier?"

"...Oh, yes, yes, his name is Bao Beier."

Upon hearing Xu Xin's words, Yang Mi didn't even need to think about it. She just blinked and said:

"I'm looking for you specifically? Why? Recommended yourself? Want your phone number? Treat you to dinner?"

"...Tsk, tsk."

Listening to Xu Xin's sigh, Yang Mi said with a smile:

"Is everything I said right?"

"Yes, Yang Dasheng..."

After he told them everything, he sighed:

"Sigh... Bao Wenjing's cigarette scar is really obvious."

"Actually, it doesn't matter."

Yang Mi on the other end of the phone said casually:

"If you mix well in the future, you can cut off the proliferative tissue and transplant the skin, so it won't be visible. If you mix badly... it's still a testimony of love. Or it may be a moment of brain damage that is unbearable to look back on... It doesn't matter. You didn't call him?"

"No, but I plan to give it. But I don't need this mobile phone number... I plan to get another mobile phone. I plan to apply for a card now. I will use the new mobile phone number for any work matters in the future. Otherwise it will be too troublesome."

"It should have been done a long time ago."

"Yes...dududu..."

While Xu Xin was talking, suddenly, another voice came from the receiver.

He instinctively picked up the phone and took a look, then said to Yang Mi:

"Mr. Qi called me, it should be about the movie."

"You answer it, I hung up. I have nothing to do this afternoon. It's rare for me to have a day off. If you have anything to do with Tingting, I have to study Gu Xiaomeng."

"good."

After hanging up Yang Mi's call, he called Qi Lei:

"Hey, Mr. Qi, what's the matter?"

"Director Xu, where are you?"

"At school, I was just planning to go out and apply for a mobile phone card. What's wrong?"

"Of course I have something to talk to Director Xu about, but I can't tell whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. But it's definitely necessary to talk to Director Xu."

"...?"

Xu Xin was a little puzzled:

"Don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Yes, because this call just came to me... I will contact you as soon as I put down the phone. Director Xu, Liang Binning... are you interested in meeting me?"

"...?"

Xu Xin was stunned:

"Liang Bingning?"

A woman wearing a fisherman's hat appeared in his mind. Xu Xin frowned and parked the Audi that had just left the campus on the side of the road.

"What's going on? Tell me."

"Um……"

Qi Lei responded, with a bit of embarrassment and confusion in his voice:

"Actually, I was quite puzzled. She called me just now... At first I thought she was a liar. After repeated confirmation, it was indeed Liang Binning. She should have come from a certain Hexi Film Studio in Huayi. The person I had dealt with got my phone number, and after introducing myself, we chatted for a while, and then she asked me: I heard that our factory is preparing a project recently?"

"……we?"

"Yes, us. Our factory..."

"..."

Xu Xin's eyes narrowed.

My mind started to spin rapidly.

"Then what?"

"I don't know who leaked the news, but it is true that she knows the news. She also said that she met you in the hotel yesterday?"

"Yes, we met. But there were other people at the time, so we just chatted and had a glass of wine."

"Yes, she said that too. Then the conversation changed and she said that she especially likes to watch your films, Director Xu, but she just hates that she is a little too old. If she could be five or six years younger, she would be the same as her during the casting process. Yang Mi fights..."

"What's the tone like?"

The moment he heard this, Xu Xin asked directly.

Qi Lei thought for a while and said:

"It's very relaxed, just joking. Then he added, "I really want to work with a director who can make the film so meaningful and beautiful." He asked me, since "Secret" was released by West Film Studio, what special impression does it have on you? Okay, it's not convenient for me to give her my contact information. I didn't let go. I said, Director Xu, you are busy with the Paralympic Games, and I can't make my own decision. She didn't force it, she just said that if there is any opportunity, the two parties can cooperate. Then came some pleasantries.”

Qi Lei was retelling the situation at that time.

But both he and Xu Xin knew that this call was definitely not groundless.

Otherwise... Qi Lei wouldn't have called Xu Xin specifically to tell him about this situation.

After hearing the complete description, Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

"I remember...she terminated her contract with Huayi, right?"

"Yes, at the end of last year. At the beginning of this year, she went out on her own... According to my understanding, she and Huayi just didn't come to an agreement. Wasn't there a scandal with Wang Zhonglei before? But Zhou Xun went to Huayi, The three monks in the first-line resources had no water to drink. Li Bingbing's foundation was strong, and if Zhou Xun continued to squeeze, Hua Yi could only drink a bowl of water. So it was normal for her to come out... This woman is not simple, Director Xu, she has a big appetite .”

"So you are targeting our factory?"

"……ah?"

It can be heard that Qi Lei's voice is really full of surprise:

"What's the meaning?"

"Because I can't think of any other possibility."

With a Bluetooth phone in hand, Xu Xin's eyes were staring at the busy traffic on the road, his eyes full of thoughts.

"Just think about it this way, in "A World Without Thieves", our company has produced people like Taihe, Feng Xiaogang, and Zhang Guoli. Zhang Guoli also worked as a solo artist, right? And now she also works as a solo artist... Huayi's side The resources in the Beijing Circle are the largest, and they have to be divided internally so that she won’t come out. Now that she has come out, she has to find a backer. People in the Beijing Circle don’t dare to pick her up, which is tantamount to provoking internal conflicts. So... I understand. ?”

"hiss……"

Following Xu Xin's words, Qi Lei, who had already lit his cigarette, narrowed his eyes.

"What Director Xu means is...she wants to continue to move forward relying on us? Who is to be fooled? Huayi has given her so much support, and she just left as soon as she said..."

"Mr. Qi, we are not Huayi, we are Xiying Group."

"Well……"

Qi Lei was stunned.

But Xu Xin said:

"How do you plan to handle this news?"

"...I think she should be eyeing "The Wind"."

"That's for sure. What else?"

"..."

Qi Lei was silent for a while and asked:

"What do you mean, Director Xu?"

But after hearing this, Xu Xin changed the topic:

"Mr. Qi, you can't suppress this news."

"..."

"If she can find you, she will definitely be able to find others. Now, actually, Mr. Qi, you only need to think about one problem."

"……What?"

"Whether you want this credit or give it to others. If you want it, give me some time. In the scene "The Wind", I only consider one thing, and that is whether Yang Mi can catch her. If so, If she can catch it and step back, then she can step on Liang Binning. But if she can't catch it, I won't give her a place in this scene where Liang Bingning squeezes her head. So, I need to communicate with Yang Mi.

But if you don't want to... but want to share it with others, as long as Mr. Qi can ensure that only "The Wind" will be released before the National Day next year, then push her to someone who can't deal with the leader. Find a way... to hold her down. Then from now on, the whole team will be on the same page internally. In the same way, you want the credit. Mr. Tian's position is as stable as Mount Tai, but the premise is... you have to hold her down and hold her to death. How about it? Thinking about it? "

"..."

Qi Lei said nothing.

Just for no reason, listening to the voice on the phone, a chill ran up the back of my spine.

What is Director Xu doing?

It's very simple.

Maximize the benefits.

Maximize the interests of "our own people".

Is there something wrong?

There's definitely nothing wrong with that.

only……

he thinks……

He seemed to see a behemoth hiding under a gentle appearance, but actually eating people without spitting out bones...
