I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 247 245. Can you say no (Thanks to the leader of "SIMOUS丶"!)

"Sorry, I was drinking just now, and I just saw the message now. I'm not in Yanjing now, but in Hengdian."

After this message was sent out, Xu Xin was walking all the way back to the Guomao Building when he received a message from Liu Yifei:

"In Hengdian? Is it a location selection for "The Wind"?"

To be honest, Xu Xin really didn't want to use his brain at this moment.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a comfortable sleep after drinking wine?

But because of his girlfriend's "unholy plans", he thought it over and said:

"Yes, the exterior scene of the sound of the wind."

"What kind of movie is this?"

After seeing this news, Xu Xin was probably sure...

She should have asked this herself.

Otherwise, anyone with some social experience would not let her ask such a question.

Because it is taboo to talk about business over a wine table.

However, this is not absolute. Currently, a lot of business needs to be discussed over the wine table.

But as a person who has not participated in today's drinking party, if she still asks this question after others have already told her to "drink," it is simply because she has insufficient social experience.

Seeing this, Xu Xin became interested.

Without the Hengha Second General Black and White Wuchang by her side...she would ask it herself?

What does this mean?

He became interested.

After thinking for a while, he asked:

"What? Yifei, are you interested?"

The message was replied very quickly:

"I want to come to the audition, is that okay?"

Xu Xinxin said you are really straightforward...

But it can also be seen from the side that she really doesn't seem to have a deep study of these routines and experiences in interacting with people.

In this case, Xu Xin thought about it and thought it would be better to speak more straightforwardly.

Otherwise, she might not be able to understand it if it’s too deep.

So he replied:

"There are actually only two important female roles in this drama, and they have already been selected."

"Is one Liang Bingning?"

"right."

"The other one...is it Mimi?"

"That's right. None of the other characters are female characters, so it doesn't mean much for you to audition."

"You can also play small roles."

? ? ? ?

This piece of information suddenly made Xu Xin see more possibilities.

Could it be...

real……

Is it as you guessed?

After thinking for a while, he replied:

"Wait a minute, I just came back. I'm going to take a shower first."

Then he dialed Yang Mi’s phone number:

"Hey, are you at the hotel?...Hiss, these oranges are so sour!"

She grunted with the speakerphone on and handed the whole orange to her dad.

I picked another one that looked more yellow.

Xu Xin didn't care and said directly:

"Yeah. Let me tell you something..."

He told his fiancée all the chats between Liu Yifei and himself.

Then, Yang Mi also reacted:

"Did she have a falling out with Aunt Liu...and her godfather?"

look.

Sometimes the way people talk is really important.

Perhaps Liu Yifei herself had no idea what her piece of information revealed.

However, in the eyes of a caring person, what was exposed under this sentence was enough to make her stand naked in front of him, without any secret at all.

But immediately Yang Mi heard the ding-ding-dong-dong sound.

asked:

"What are you doing?"

"I'm making tea. Drink some water to relieve the hangover. Let me tell you...these two people are terrible at drinking. They drink three or two ounces. Brother Li's drink is even stronger...if I hadn't cut my losses in time, I would have really lost my money today. That’s it.”

It's okay that he didn't mention this. When he mentioned this, Yang Mi simply exposed his lies:

"You knew you wanted to drink, why didn't you let Zhang Jiao follow you?"

"...She's following."

"Stop doing this, I'll know what's going on as soon as you open your mouth."

"...Tsk."

Xu Xin didn't feel uncomfortable. After smacking his mouth, he actually laughed:

"Or say you are my wife."

"...Humph. Waiting for her to come back! See how I deal with her!"

"Stop doing this, I let her go."

Putting the kettle on the seat, Xu Xin leaned on the sofa and lit a cigarette.

"We don't have a troublesome temperament. Yes, it's her job to take care of me, but she can't be too harsh. We even watched the movie "The Devil Wears Prada" together. You are not Meryl Streep, You shouldn’t ask other people to be Anne Hathaway. It’s not a big deal to compare your feelings to yourselves. Don’t do things that are there or not, I don’t like it.”

"...I know! Don't I feel sorry for you? I'm afraid that you won't be able to pour water if you drink too much..."

"I know, but there is no need to be so harsh. In essence, we are just colleagues, assistants, not servants. We can't have the mentality of being aloof and separated from the masses~ We must root our art in life, so that we can Have roots. Only with roots can you not be assimilated by this place of fame and fortune..."

"Yes, yes, my big baby...why don't I stop talking about this?"

Yang Mi shook her head helplessly, and then took the initiative to drop the topic.

She will listen to this, but she also has to listen to some of the things Uncle Xu taught her.

Leading his subordinates is nothing more than a combination of kindness and power.

But she will not disobey her fiancé... A donkey like him needs to be smoothed down.

"Then how do you want to deal with Liu Yifei?"

"That's why I asked you, do you want to join forces with her?"

"It's not a joint venture, it's just recruiting her... But I don't have the capital now, so I definitely can't get her. Besides, I said that I would start my own company next year, and she believed me? She's not that stupid. . I have a lot of resources now, but there is still a long way to go before I can distribute them and give them to others at will."

"Then what do you think I should do?"

Xu Xin rubbed his forehead:

"I've drunk too much now and don't want to think about these things. Just give me an idea...thinking about it makes me have a headache."

"Well... let me think about it..."

Holding the phone, Yang Mi thought about it for about thirty seconds and said:

"Let's just talk about personal relations. When will you come back?"

"Tomorrow is the day after tomorrow. I will look at some alternative locations tomorrow. If it ends early, I will go back early. If it ends late, it will be the day after tomorrow."

"Then just say that you drank too much and can't think straight. When you get back, call her and let's go out for dinner."

"After I come back, I will go directly to Xi'an and start working on convincing Hua Dao. Then I will bring people to Yanjing to start the audition directly."

"That's okay. You go about your business and I'll figure out how to deal with it."

"good……"

Just as he said that, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Xin was stunned.

"Wait a minute, there's a knock on the door."

"Oh, who is it? Isn't it some charming beauty who wants to throw herself into my arms?"

Hearing this, Xu Xin instinctively replied:

"If you were outside the door, in my current state... you might not be able to get out of bed tomorrow."

"..."

Yang Mi, who had been keeping the speakerphone on, twitched her lips.

Yang Dalin simply stood up.

She looked embarrassed when she saw her father getting up and going straight into the house to go to bed.

Xu Xin didn't know that his father-in-law heard what he said.

I didn't even know that my father-in-law started sighing as soon as he entered the house... I wanted to push his head into the toilet.

After opening the door, he was stunned when he looked at Zhang Jiao who was panting...

"Why are you back?"

"Uh...no...Director Xu...I'm sorry..."

"?"

Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, and then understood.

Speechlessly waving his hands:

"Come on, go home and sleep quickly...it's Zhang Jiao, I asked her to go home and sleep."

This was said on the phone in front of Zhang Jiao.

Then, Yang Mi’s voice rang:

"Then let her go back quickly. Isn't Zhao Liying still waiting at home..."

"..."

Zhang Jiao was stunned.

But Xu Xin waved his hand:

"Go back and rest early. Just come back around 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he closed the door.

The girl was left with a confused look on her face...

"That's okay, I won't tell you anymore. I'll go to bed after sending her a message. I'm dizzy~"

"Well, don't open the window, do you hear me? I'm afraid you might catch a cold."

"Know~"

"Pour yourself a glass of water and put it next to your bed."

"No, if you fan the quilt, it will be full of lint in the morning."

"You put it in a thermos cup, idiot!"

"There is tea water in the thermos cup."

"You won't fall?"

"Oh, okay, it's not like I can't take care of myself, I'm dead."

"...Well, MUA~"

After hanging up the phone, he sent a message to Liu Yifei:

"After I return to Yanjing in the past two days, let's go out to eat. I drank a little too much and I feel dizzy. Let's go to bed first."

After sending it, he threw the phone aside, forgot about boiling water, went straight into the bedroom, threw his head on the bed and couldn't get up.

…

November 12th.

Xu Xin returned to Yanjing.

But I didn't stay at home for long, not even half a day, before I flew to Xiying Studio in the evening.

And one after another, many domestic companies have received audition requests from Xiying Studio for several leading roles, as well as audition clips.

Xu Xin initially estimated that the movie should be released in late December or early January.

As for the shooting time...

The indoor drama should be over in about ten days and a half at most.

The premise is that there is no problem with the actor's condition.

That's not to say that all movies are shot so quickly... The main thing is that the scenes in this scene are all concentrated in the studio, and there are no special effects, special effects, wires, etc.

It has a lot of literary dramas.

This kind of scene is the most labor-saving to shoot because it doesn’t require so frequent transitions.

So if the shooting time is too long, it’s either an actor’s problem or a director’s problem.

In fact, the most time-consuming thing in making a movie is not the actors, but the layout of various scenes.

But, we don’t need that in this drama.

As long as there are no problems with the early stage scenery, everything depends on how the actors interpret it.

During the selection process for Fu Huadao, Liang Binning made a special trip back and put on those sets of cheongsams that didn't quite fit.

It's just a sample. After choosing the clothing style, the specific actor's clothes still need to be cut by a tailor according to the body shape.

Xu Xin and she still seemed very close when they met again.

Neither of them talked about why they sent script audition invitations to other companies instead of digesting them internally.

We are all adults, how can we not think of some things.

Putting aside their own petty thoughts, in the final analysis, isn’t what everyone is pursuing a win-win situation?

And after forming a tight interest group, let alone Xu Xin... Liang Binning also hopes that the more big names in the show, the better.

The more big names there are, the stronger the appeal.

Her status as one of the two heroines becomes more prominent.

The so-called "internal digestion" was actually the beginning of the game between the two parties.

Whoever takes it seriously will really lose.

Moreover, the fact that Xiying Studio sent out audition invitations to the entire circle also highlighted from the side the importance they attached to Liang Binning.

Being willing to do so much for "Li Ningyu", Xiying Film Studio's determination to support Liang Bingning seems to be sufficient.

This kind of attitude is what Liang Binning needs most.

Now and in the future, she can straighten her back and compete for more things with other people in this circle.

Anyone who really dares to wear small shoes for her on a "big level" should consider the Xiying Studio behind him.

Um.

How come it’s not a win-win situation?

…

On the afternoon of the 14th, Xu Xin returned home after staying at Xiying Studio for another two days.

Today is Friday.

It was around 3pm when he got home.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Yang Mi with a facial mask on her face, lying on a recliner, playing with a cigarette in her hand.

No point.

He just held the cigarette in his hand.

He wasn't surprised.

Gu Xiaomeng smokes, and the script also requires the use of two brands of cigarettes to cooperate with Wu Zhiguo and spread the information.

The sound of footsteps also woke up Yang Mi, who was still wearing a facial mask. After seeing her boyfriend return home in a dusty state, she said:

"came back?"

"Um……"

After taking Zhang Jiao back home, he ignored the three girls and said as if they didn't exist:

"I'm going to take a shower, will you go?"

Normally, Yang Mi would have followed her future husband into the house without any hesitation.

But today is unusual:

"No, I have to put on makeup soon."

"...A date?"

"Yes, I have an appointment with Liu Yifei for dinner tonight, let's go together."

"..."

Xu Xin paused, frowned and asked:

"Why did you eat it?"

"Because she came here just for you. I thought about it and thought it would be more appropriate for us to go together. Besides, Uncle Xu took me to a very delicious private restaurant two days ago. The taste is so good! Huaiyang Food! I want to eat with you once."

"...?"

Xu Xin was puzzled for a while:

"When did our dad come over again? Why didn't I know?"

Yang Mi is already immune to the title "our dad".

He leaned back in his recliner and shrugged:

"Uncle Xu said: Sanjin will eat a lot! He is happy to eat sheep, and he doesn't know much about Huaiyang cuisine."

"..."

Xu Xin was speechless:

"The old man is so heartless, I am his biological son!"

"Hehehe~...Hurry up and take a shower. I've chosen clothes for you...Your hair has grown too. Tingting, go get the clippers and I'll cut it for you."

Sun Ting nodded, got up and walked to the room next to her.

In fact, it wasn't that Xu Xin was stingy, or that he couldn't even bear to go to the barber shop... but that it was completely unnecessary.

A group of people on the Internet even said that he and Director Zhang have the same hairstyle.

Saying they have the same hairstyle is actually just to save trouble.

He has a good brain shape, and his hair doesn't need any maintenance. He just puts a 5mm clipper head on an electric clipper and pushes it against his head.

When you go to a barber shop, the barber shop does the same thing.

But the problem is not tossing.

And...perhaps due to preconceived impressions, Yang Mi couldn't stand her brother's long hair.

As soon as his hair grows, she will think of the silly boy in front of the school when he was a freshman who leaned on his Ferrari every day and turned into a frog with his head full of gel water.

Oh, that picture...

It's too beautiful to look at.

So when the Olympic Games got busy, seeing that he didn't have time to go to the barber shop, I simply bought him clippers.

Over time, his hairdressing card, which cost more than 20,000 yuan, became a place where Sun Ting and Wu Qiqi would take their relatives to get their hair done during the holidays...

Never been there again.

…

Xu Xin didn't go to take a shower first, so she sat in the living room and was surrounded by hairstylist Yang Xiaomi wearing an apron.

After cutting it, wash it together.

As soon as the fader went up, Xu Xin's phone rang suddenly.

"I'm looking at the moon in the distance..."

When you hear the ringtone, you know it's a private call.

Zhang Jiao picked it up and took a look at it, then said:

"It's Brother Xu Miao."

"Well, take the call and put it on speakerphone."

Zhang Jiao held the phone and handed it to Xu Xin's mouth, who couldn't take his hand away.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Are you in Yanjing?"

"Here you are, just got home."

"Then you have made an appointment. They are still waiting for news about you."

"Who?"

"Jing Tian."

"Well……"

Xu Xin was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized:

"Oh!!! Oh, I forgot about it if I didn't tell you."

"You really... hurry up, isn't it Friday? I'm going to have a dinner date with someone tonight."

"Okay, let her contact me."

The call was immediately hung up, and Yang Mi asked:

"Jing Tian? That classmate of yours?...What's going on?"

"Eh? I didn't tell you?"

"...No. What's going on?"

"Yes... hmm? Do you know her?"

"How new, brother. When I took you and Lao Wang to school last year, didn't I tell you that she and that... Zheng Yan were competing for the school beauty. Have you forgotten?"

"..."

Xu Xin was stunned for a moment and said speechlessly:

"I always feel like I have a lot going on every day."

"That's why I asked you to find an assistant. How could you remember so many things yourself!"

"..."

At this time, Xu Xin also realized that he seemed to be lacking someone to manage the trivial matters of life.

But he didn't think about it for the time being. After he told his fiancée the whole story, Yang Mi frowned:

"So...she is quite extraordinary. Isn't it inappropriate for you not to give her a role?...The female killer?"

"No, I asked Teacher Yu and she couldn't hold it up. So..."

He finished talking to Yu Zhen again.

Yang Mi was completely speechless:

"Is it possible?...Isn't it too confusing?"

"It doesn't matter, I gave you the face. If you don't want it, then you can't blame others."

"But Uncle Xu still wants to cooperate with them..."

"So I gave you face."

"Then this face isn't enough..."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Xu Xin shrugged casually:

"If we can't cooperate because of something like this, it means her family is nothing more than that. So, it doesn't matter... It's Friday, and school is on holiday, so I guess I won't be able to go to dinner with you tonight. This matter It’s more important than eating with Liu Yifei.”

"This... okay."

Yang Mi is not someone who can't distinguish priorities.

Then, Xu Xin’s phone rang again:

"I'm looking into the distance..."

"Hello?"

"Xu...Hello, brother Xu, I am Jing Tian."

"Haha, hello, hello, I was just about to call you. Sorry, I've been busy with movies these days and don't have time to go back to school to say hello to you..."

"It's fine."

Jing Tian's voice was very quiet. After being polite, she said:

"In the evening...do you have time, Brother Xu?"

"Yes, I was just about to say, let's have dinner together? I'll choose a place and send you the address later?"

"Um...ok. What time is it?"

"Seven o'clock, how about it?"

"OK."

After agreeing, there was a sudden silence over there, and then the voice sounded again:

"Just...do I need to bring an agent?"

"..."

"..."

Yang Mi paused her hand and blinked subconsciously.

Why does this mean the same thing as Mingqiang?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Xu Xin chuckle:

"Ha~ It's a family dinner, what are you doing with your agent?"

But this time, Jing Tian’s answer was much faster:

"Yeah, okay, I understand. See you tonight~"

"Well, see you tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin said:

"Believe it or not, her agent asked her to ask that question just now."

"..."

Yang Mi frowned.

After pushing Xu Xin's hair twice, he said:

"Why do you think the person here is evil? Her management team doesn't think she can get a big role in this drama or something?... Are you so crazy?"

"Let's see then."

Compared to Yang Mi's frown, Xu Xin was very calm.

"I'm looking at her as a person, not her agency..."

"...Then where are you going to take her to eat?"

"Next to the school."

"……What?"

Yang Mi was stunned:

"Next to the school?"

"yes."

"... Come on, how about I make a reservation and we all go to that Huaiyang restaurant?"

"It's not necessary. I chose that to remind her that no matter me or her, we are classmates first and students second, and then we have other identities."

"..."

After a while, the buzzing sound sounded again.

…

I drove the A6 all the way to the school. Obviously, because of the holiday, there were many people in the hotel in the living area of ​​the Beiying School.

The restaurant Xu Xin chose was a Sichuan-Chongqing stir-fry restaurant.

The food is Jianghu cuisine from Sichuan.

But the taste is really nothing to say.

Not to mention anything else, the green pepper shredded pork rice bowl that costs eight yuan a portion is a delicacy.

But as the appointed time approached, in a commercial car, Zhang Jing looked at this "Sichuan Fried Pork" restaurant, her eyes full of speechlessness:

"Just eat here? Are you kidding me? You can't choose a place like this for a dinner party, right?"

"...?"

Jing Tian, ​​who was sitting next to her, had a strange look on her face, but she didn't say anything. She just pressed the door button and planned to get out of the car.

"Hey. Sweet!"

"What's wrong?"

Jing Tian got out of the car and was a little confused.

Zhang Jing looked at her expression as if nothing happened, and said speechlessly:

"How about... let's change to a hotel? This place..."

Hearing this, Jing Tian shook his head:

"I'm a student. It's normal to eat here. You can go back."

"..."

Zhang Jing was even more speechless.

But after hearing this, it was hard to say anything...

Can't say anything.

He could only let her walk into the hotel.

After she couldn't see anyone, she said speechlessly:

"What a shabby place..."

…

The private room Xu Xin booked was not large.

It's just a small round table for six people.

Usually, this kind of private room is used for eating with a few buddies in the same dormitory, or for "socializing".

He didn't rush to order, he just asked for a pot of tea and waited patiently.

Before 7 o'clock, there was a knock on the door.

After the door was pushed open, Xu Xin saw a face that was still familiar to him.

After all, I must have seen it in the big class.

It's just that before they knew about this relationship, the two of them had never greeted each other.

So it's not particularly special.

"Here you go, sit down."

Xu Xin smiled and said hello.

Then he handed over the paper menu he had on hand.

"Shall we order first?"

"OK."

Jing Tian responded, took off her down jacket, took a look at the menu, and said proactively:

"Can you stop drinking?"

"Okay."

Xu Xin responded and filled the glass with tea for her.

Jing Tian must have eaten here too. After looking at it, he ordered two dishes and then handed over the menu.

Xu Xin naturally took it and took a look at the dish she ordered.

Braised tofu with cabbage and braised eggplant.

After thinking about it, he ordered twice-cooked pork and a large plate of chicken.

Then he asked:

"rice?"

"..."

Jing Tian pursed her lips...

Showing a troubled look.

But in the end...she still said:

“Noodles!”

"Hahaha~"

Xu Xin immediately found it interesting.

Looking at the words "Large Plate of Chicken (Free Two Noodles)", I wrote "2" behind the pulled noodles in the staple food column.

Then he stood up and handed the menu to the waiter outside.

After coming back, he held the tea cup, thought for a while, and said:

"Want to star in the movie "The Wind"?"

He felt...since the two of them chose to get along as students, they wouldn't talk about anything too profound.

Just go straight.

But……

After all calculations, he never expected that the other party would give such an unexpected answer:

"Can I not act?"

"..."
