I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 248 246. Madam, you don’t want to either...

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

"Yes, I know Liang Bingning is starring and I want to cooperate with her."

…

"Yes, I want to play the leading role, Liang Binning plays Li Ningyu, then I will play Gu Xiaomeng."

…

"Yes, I want to play the leading role, but I won't play a role that is too small."

…

"Yes, but I may not be able to play the leading role. If it's a supporting role, Brother Xu can just give me one."

…

once.

Xu Xin thought about countless answers after he asked this question.

From protagonist to supporting role...

He has thought about it.

However, after all calculations, he never expected... that this was the answer he was waiting for.

So his eyes became a little dull.

Then the dullness turned to confusion.

Doubt turned to interest.

"What's the reason?"

he asked directly.

He couldn't wait to know... what was the reason why she could give such an answer.

After Jing Tian heard his questioning, her eyes first glanced up, as if she was thinking.

Then he looked to his right...

This expression is still thinking.

After thinking twice in a row, she pursed her lips.

Still thinking about this.

After completing the three actions, she said:

"A few days ago, after I saw the news, my uncle told me that he and Uncle Xu were friends and had already made a call for me. He said that Brother Xu would contact me in a few days to talk about the movie. ...So...I bought the original book of "The Wind" and read it."

Speaking of this, she shook her head slightly:

"I wasn't interested in the story. After reading two chapters, I stopped reading."

"Well……"

Vaguely, Xu Xin felt that the pace of her chat was... wrong, and his brain circuitry couldn't keep up.

But I can't tell where it came from.

It just feels weird.

After thinking for a while, he nodded:

"Well, what then?"

But who would have thought that a very strange look appeared in Jing Tian's eyes:

"So you asked me if I wanted to act in "The Wind", and I answered you. If possible, I don't want to act."

"...???"

Hearing this seems like...the simplest answer.

Xu Xin was even more confused.

"Then why are you calling me?"

"Come and star in the movie "The Wind"."

"...?"

Xu Xin was dumbfounded.

It felt like my brain circuit was like a bouncy ball, bouncing around like a headless fly following her words.

What the hell……

What on earth are we talking about?

For a moment, he couldn't keep up with the other party's thoughts.

After thinking about it, he quickly waved his hand:

"Look, let's smooth it out."

"..."

Jing Tian didn't say anything, just stared at him with a pair of big eyes.

"First of all, you don't want to do "The Wind," you're not interested in the story."

"Um."

"Besides...you took the initiative to call me, but you want to act in "The Wind"?"

"Yes."

To a hammer...

Xu Xin opened his mouth, suddenly confused as to what she was going to do.

After thinking for a while, he asked:

"Since you... don't want to act, why do you want to act again?"

"Because I don't act, it will be difficult for Uncle Xu and my uncle. They are talking about their cooperation, but this time my reasons are mixed into the cooperation. So, I don't want to act, but I am here to act."

"..."

Xu Xin was startled...

this……

What kind of explanation is this?

Perhaps knowing that her answer was a bit strange, Jing Tian took the initiative to explain again:

"I don't have to act, because firstly I'm not interested in this story. Secondly, my professional courses are very average, and I don't think I can compare with Liang Bingning. Thirdly, my uncle asked me to act. Fourthly, My agent team all thinks that Brother Xu, your movie this time is a good opportunity for any actor. Everyone hopes that I can act, so I came to act."

"But you don't want to act?"

After getting these four reasons, Xu Xin asked, and Jing Tian nodded again:

"Yes."

"..."

Xu Xin's mind quickly put all the girl's words together and then separated them...

After thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly asked:

"Why do you choose this coerced lifestyle?"

When Jing Tian heard this, she suddenly tilted her head.

Looking at Xu Xin, there was a thought in his eyes.

After a few seconds, she said:

"Then why did Brother Xu agree to let me act?"

"Well……"

Hey, I have such a bad temper.

It’s been almost thirty years since I was born in the mother’s womb, and my old Xu Zongheng in the entertainment industry has really been manipulated by a woman like you today?

Since the Olympics, he has officially entered this circle... Until now, he has not come into contact with everyone, but at least most of them. The purpose of everyone's chats and interpersonal interactions is actually quite the same.

He wanders in this jungle and knows the rules of survival in this jungle.

And do it with ease.

But... when I come to this girl, I always feel like my conversation is going off track and out of control.

It's so strange...

After thinking for a while, he said:

"You want to hear the truth or a lie."

"Why should we tell lies?"

"..."

no.

Looking at these eyes, Xu Xin felt a little blocked in his heart.

Her way of chatting...

Not choking.

Frankly even.

and the question is…

You will always feel awkward.

Angular.

After thinking for a while, he took out the cigarette case from his pocket.

He stood up and opened the window of the single room.

Not much, just a crack.

Then he lit a cigarette.

Jing Tian had no objection to him smoking and just waited silently for him to speak.

The nicotine did not bring any excitement, but instead made him calm down a little.

After two puffs of cigarette, he said:

"My dad should be working on some kind of cooperation with... Uncle Jing. So, since it will help the family's business, even if we didn't know each other before... I have to come over. The first is to help my dad share the burden Take off the business pressure and promote the relationship between partners. The second thing is to see what role should be given to you.

In fact, no matter whether you say you want to play this role today or not, I will not give you a particularly important role. On the contrary, the role I give you will only be a supporting role similar to a background board. Because... I knew about you when I was in school. Indeed, as you said yourself, the level of your professional courses is very average. In this group drama, the requirements may not be met. Will you be angry if I say this? "

"What you said is true. Why should I be angry?"

"..."

Looking at Xu Xin who was silent, after Jing Tian said this, he said to himself:

"Brother Xu and I actually think the same thing. My uncle said that it is quite important to cooperate with Uncle Xu. This is a business matter. And when I came to this drama, my uncle's purpose was to make me famous. , because I love being an actor.

To be an actor is to be famous.

Therefore, after hearing about you, Brother Xu, he wanted to help his niece achieve her dream. If I don't act, I don't know if there will be twists and turns in my cooperation with Uncle Xu. But if I act, they will definitely be happy working together. So, here I am. "

Seeing Xu Xin being so straightforward, she was equally straightforward.

There was no hint of disobedience or lies in those big eyes.

"..."

But Xu Xin opened his mouth slightly.

He looked...awkward.

He felt really awkward.

In fact, he understood, because essentially, he and the girl meant the same thing.

It all means "helping the family share the burden".

only……

Why do I always feel so awkward listening to her talk?

Is she right?

yes.

The meaning is the same as mine.

They all start from the perspective of family, suppressing personal preferences behind "home".

Can……

I always felt like chatting with her was like a life-or-death situation where every move was a life-and-death situation.

If I can’t stab you to death, I will stab myself to death.

Brother, do we have to be so straightforward?

Looking at his ridiculous appearance, Jing Tian shook her head again:

"Brother Xu and I obviously chose the same method, why do you think I'm being coerced?"

"..."

"What about you? Aren't you being held hostage?"

"I...uh...ah..."

After stammering a few words, he suddenly nodded honestly:

"Fine."

He probably understood what Jing Tian meant.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard Jing Tian say again:

"Brother Xu, you don't want the cooperation between your family and mine to have setbacks."

"...???"

Oh my god.

How could there be such a scary person?

When you say this...do you really mean it literally?

no……

Who are you threatening...

It doesn't seem right either.

Why do I feel this is a threat?

Obviously no one wants to act anymore.

But what’s that sense of deja vu in your mind that says, “Madam, you don’t want your husband to lose his job?”

But she didn't seem to realize what she meant by saying this, and continued to nod:

"So, I don't want to act, but I can act."

"Well……"

He opened his mouth.

Um.

He is a master.

…

"Mimi~"

"Yifei~~~"

Looking at Liu Yifei who walked in and took off her mask, Yang Mi stood up with a smile, opened her hands and greeted her.

Obviously, give her a big hug.

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, and then she also greeted him.

After the two hugged each other, Yang Mi smiled and said:

"Why are you here? I almost miss you."

The tone was one of intimacy.

Then, she glanced at CINDY next to her and said:

"CINDY, Tingting and the others are in the room next to you. Just go to that room and eat. Just order whatever you want."

"Okay, Sister Mimi."

CINDY understood what she meant, and then said to Liu Yifei:

"Sister, I'm going to that room."

"okay."

Liu Yifei responded, and then began to untie her woolen coat.

Her choice of clothes today is actually quite simple, a brown woolen coat, a black sweater, and a pair of dark jeans underneath.

Underfoot is a pair of canvas shoes...

Dress up really casually.

However, after seeing her fully dressed, Yang Mi frowned.

The reason for her frown was simple...she felt that Liu Yifei really should change teams.

Female artists' private clothes are actually more sophisticated than the clothes they wear in public.

On the one hand, private clothing is what best defines a person’s fashion sense. When choosing spokespersons, many first-tier brands will take comprehensive consideration into how these celebrities dress in public and in private.

See if the temperament matches your brand.

So, unless it’s at home. Otherwise, you should pay special attention whenever you go out.

On the other hand, color-screen mobile phones are now on the market. Each mobile phone has 10 million pixels and can take very clear photos.

If you recognize you, take a photo of you and post it online, you will be criticized by some people.

The greater your reputation, the more people will comment on everything from your clothes to your makeup to your skin to your temperament.

How did she get her Clover endorsement contract?

Why does she appear on the largest poster in Adidas stores across the country?

Isn't the reason why Adidas came to visit me after my unintentional "Phoenix Returns to the Nest" photo came out.

Therefore, Yang Mi is very aware of the importance of private servers.

The reason why Zhang Jiao is almost treated as an ancestor when she goes to some shopping malls is because...she uses her sense of fashion to dress Yang Mi in her daily life.

There are only two core definitions:

"First, strive to be diversified. No matter what style, it must be perfectly digested by Sister Mi."

"Second, it must be different. From top-tier brands to affordable outfits, one must have fashionable taste that is eye-catching."

This is in preparation for contacting big-name fashion-related brands after becoming independent next year.

But what about Liu Yifei?

Not to mention anything else, with today's outfit, Yang Mi felt that if it were herself, her image assistants, including image designers, could all be laid off.

Burberry's woolen coats are already in the streets.

But fortunately, as a classic style, it is indeed versatile.

The sweater above has a sweetheart collar.

Liu Yifei must have gained some weight recently and her neck is a little thicker.

If you choose, you should also choose a high-collar one, using the black color difference to show a slimming style, and cover the neck that looks a little slender due to the long flesh.

Instead of using a sweetheart collar to completely expose the flesh on your neck.

But these are minor issues.

The biggest problem is the choice of pants.

Black, jeans.

Her legs are really thick.

It is a typical swollen thick leg.

The standard for female artists is that your chest can be flat, but your legs must be thin.

Because you have to accept the judgment of the public.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Liu Yifei's upper body. Even some parts of her facial features would make Yang Mi jealous.

But... her thick legs are actually a fatal injury.

There are actually many factors that contribute to the formation of swollen and thick legs, but her thickness should be due to her dancing practice as a child, which made her leg muscles well-developed. Then after you stop practicing midway, your leg muscles will naturally be wrapped in fat, causing them to become swollen and thick.

It's difficult to lose weight.

But it can become muscular and thick legs.

Then, through shaping, the legs can be made thick and beautiful at the same time.

There are three things that actresses in the entertainment industry pursue throughout their lives.

One is to become thinner, the other is to become whiter, and the third is to have thinner legs.

Now Liu Yifei... I am afraid that except for Bai, everything else is drifting away.

No matter which of these three pursuits, it is a great torture to achieve and maintain.

Even if someone is as talented as her, they only occupy the first and third items.

The second item is also her pursuit.

As for the first and third items...

Sorry, as the ultimate spokesperson for her fiancé's "legs for fun" and an expert in gaining weight no matter what she eats, she is born with this condition.

It's just that great.

But what about Liu Yifei?

You have thick legs and choose black jeans?

What kind of image assistant would give this definition?

What are you waiting for if you don't resign?

Her eyes looked strange.

But there is no need to talk about this kind of thing now. After the two of them sat intimately at this small dining table, Yang Mi handed over the menu.

"I've never eaten here before, you can just order it."

Hearing Liu Yifei's words, Yang Mi nodded, took the menu and asked the waiter for a few dishes, and then asked:

"Drink?"

"……drink!"

Hearing this, Yang Mi nodded and said to the waiter:

"Go get some wine and let me choose."

The waiter nodded politely and left.

Yang Mi then looked at Liu Yifei who was wiping her hands with a hot towel:

"Xu Xin can't come today. Something suddenly happened over there. Is that okay?"

"..."

Liu Yifei wiped her hands for a moment.

The smile was a little forced:

"It's okay."

Seeing this, Yang Mi was even more sure that she must be having trouble with Aunt Liu.

There's no way, it's too obvious.

That layer of disappointment is all on the surface.

After thinking for a while, she said:

"He is currently preparing to start auditions for his movie. There is a lot of preparation work ahead of him. When he came back this afternoon, it was about three o'clock. It was originally agreed that the three of us would have dinner together, but it was not even ten minutes before we got home. Minutes later, a call came from someone from Xiying Film Studio. He went out to get busy. He also asked me to say sorry to you and treat you to dinner next time to make up for it."

"Yeah, it's okay."

Liu Yifei smiled and nodded. After putting down the towel, she suddenly asked curiously:

"Mimi, how far have you two... progressed?"

Hearing this, Yang Mi smiled sweetly and raised her left hand.

Liu Yifei saw the silver ring on her ring finger at a glance.

"!!!"

Her eyes widened instantly:

"You... you..."

"Yeah. We're engaged~"

Yang Mi responded with a smile, her face flushed even before she drank.

"Wow!!!!!"

This time, Liu Yifei's emotions were really highlighted.

She was really surprised.

Really surprised.

But after being surprised, he immediately asked:

"Then when will you get married?"

As he said that, he was suddenly stunned and immediately shook his head:

"Isn't it time to get married? Your career is so good now..."

"Well……"

Yang Mi opened her mouth and said with a smile:

"No, I'm planning to go to Thailand and then consider getting married."

"...Thailand? What are you going to do there?"

"Do you know the White Dragon King?"

"...the master that people in Xiangjiang particularly believe in?"

Liu Yifei's eyes widened with surprise on her face.

"Yes, they say he is very accurate in telling fortunes. We want to ask him when is the right time to get married."

Yang Mi has countless treasures:

"First ask when will you get married, and then ask whether the first child will be a son or a daughter. It is best to ask what the name will be, or what year the child will be... Anyway, I want to ask a lot. Go all. After reading it, I’ll put it on my schedule.”

"...What about your career?"

"nothing."

Yang Mi said with a smile:

"I have to take care of my family first, and let's talk about career."

"Well……"

As soon as the words came out.

It could be seen that Liu Yifei was really surprised.

Because... she had always felt that Mimi was very ambitious.

In terms of communication and connections, it can be seen that she is working hard at everything.

But we haven’t seen each other for more than a year...

Looking at her friend who was completely different from before... she sighed with emotion:

"Mimi, you have changed so much."

A second after these words were spoken, Yang Mi had already found a breakthrough.

Taking advantage of the reason behind her words, Yang Mi said with a smile:

"Really?...I think Yifei, you have changed quite a lot now."

"I?"

Liu Yifei was stunned.

Yang Mi nodded:

"Yes, I used to feel like...a fairy who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world. But now I suddenly feel more fireworks..."

"Well……"

Liu Yifei looked a little stunned.

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether this sentence was talking about my own good or my bad.

But immediately I heard the next sentence:

"Feel much better."

"..."

"Just before, after I finished filming "Golden Armor", didn't I send you text messages several times? I invited you out for dinner or singing, but you didn't come out. I thought you had some objections to me... …So I’m really happy to ask you out today~”

These words were actually quite harsh to Liu Yifei's ears.

Not that Mimi is like that.

But...she inevitably thought of her own state over the past two years.

Instantly, a voice began to ring.

"Daughter, don't associate with this kind of person. She has many thoughts and will definitely want to take advantage of you."

"Daughter, have you seen that the director has to be respectful when he sees your godfather. So don't worry, as long as your godfather is here, no one in this circle can do anything to you."

"Daughter, we won't cooperate with them anymore. If the film joined by Cheng Long and Jet Li can be made like this, this company must have no future."

"Daughter..."

"Daughter..."

"Daughter..."

What rang in his ears was a sound that was almost burned into the bones.

She unconsciously raised her head and looked at Yang Mi.

At this moment, Yang Mi was looking at several bottles of red wine held by the waiter wearing white gloves with both hands.

Those red wines must be quite old, and the labels are full of traces of the passage of time.

Mimi, on the other hand, seems to understand very well, and is communicating with the waiter with words such as "the wine from Tuscany is not good" and "this Mouton is not bad".

Hear this...

Mimi's change...is quite big.

This is true.

She has become really beautiful.

It feels like a plastic surgery.

Every move and every move exudes an... indescribable charm.

From clothes to accessories such as watches and earrings...

The girl who was on the set of "The Condor" seems to have disappeared.

It's like emerging from a cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

Become mature, elegant, and charming.

Others have told her before that people in this circle will mature quickly and passively.

She didn't believe it at first.

Even after internally measuring and examining myself, I feel that I am still the same person, and there is no such thing as "accelerated growth".

But after seeing Mimi today, she suddenly had this blurry feeling that instantly became transparent.

Mimi's changes.

Whether it was her temperament, appearance, dress, or the feeling in her movements that made her more and more familiar, but she still couldn't remember who she had seen it before...

It turns out that the reason why I did not experience the feeling of "accelerated growth" was not because I was "independent and sober."

just because of……

I am always walking in the same place, stagnant.

And just when he was standing still.

Everyone else is growing.

Even, it has grown beyond my expectations.

In a daze, she felt like a piece of grass.

This grass grows under a big tree.

When she was a seedling, the big tree protected her from the wind and rain, allowing her to watch the wild grass exposed to the sky bend down in the rain in a down-to-earth manner.

She is safe because she has a big tree protecting her.

However, the storm will eventually pass.

After the rain and the sky cleared, the grasses that had been moistened by the rain and sunshine began to straighten their waists, chasing the direction of the sun savagely, and quickly began to straighten and spread out their branches.

But she didn't notice anything.

Until she once again discovered that her "companions" who had endured harsh conditions were far ahead of her.

Only then did she understand.

The big tree behind him that protected him from the wind and rain had, at some point, become a shackle that restricted him.

It blocks the wind and the rain.

It blocks the sun even more.
