I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 267 265. Resignation (Thanks to the leader of "Why Not a Little Cotton Jacket"!!)

Coal second generation

Volume 1

Chapter 265

At less than three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Xin, who switched to a business car because he disliked the high-profile Rolls-Royce, looked at the street in front of him in confusion:

"Dad, where is this?"

"Jiaotong University Computer City."

"...What are we doing here?"

"I told you to give Mimi a gift."

"...Give her a computer?"

"..."

Seeing his son's confused expression, Xu Daqiang was speechless.

Xu Xin was indeed confused.

Standing at this intersection, looking at the sparsely populated streets... the only news he knew was that the name of the community in front of him was "Ivy Garden", and it was next to Xi'an Jiaotong University.

Nothing else is known.

This community has not been built yet, but it should be a school district housing, right?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Xu Daqiang say to Yang Mi who was wearing a mask:

"Mimi, have you seen this building?"

"Um."

Yang Mi nodded, looking at the movement at the intersection where the foundations had been laid and the reinforced concrete frame floors were being built, and asked:

"What's wrong? Uncle Xu."

"You drop."

"..."

Yang Mi's mouth twitched.

That look is almost the same as Xu Xin's.

"What?"

She asked back as if she didn't hear clearly.

Xu Daqiang repeated with a smile:

"You drop."

"I...?"

Nondescript Shaanxi dialect came out of her mouth.

"Your room."

"..."

Yang Mi was stunned instantly.

Xu Xin was also confused.

"dad?"

I saw Xu Daqiang taking out a cigarette and saying:

"That's what I came to Xi'an for this time. I have a friend who owes me money, but I can't get the cash out, and my relationship is not bad. So I told him: Brother, there is a house here. Come and take a look, if you like it I need it. I really can’t give out cash~... I just came here to take a look, okay. Next to it is Jiaotong University, with banks and hospitals. This will be the university’s business district. It’s still a crossroad. I think the location is good, and we have been friends for many years, so I want it."

After saying that, he held his cigarette and drew a circle towards the building in front:

"You are the one who faces the street in this building~ Last time I had a drink and chat with Brother Yang, and he said that he has relatives at home, right? Come on, next to the Jiaotong University Affiliated High School, Primary School, and Kindergarten, there are also...school district rooms. "

"..."

Yang Mi was really confused.

He stared blankly at the half-frame building in front of him, not realizing what was going on.

"Between New Year's and New Year's Eve, just come here to go through the formalities. This building is a shopping mall. You can rent it out or have sex. No need to delay~"

"I...I don't want..."

"Okay, let's not talk about two different families."

As soon as Yang Mi's rejection came out, she was blocked back.

Xu Daqiang waved his hand:

"I came to Xi'an just to look at the house. I'll take a look at you, Sanjin. What do you think?"

Xu Xin scanned the area of ​​buildings under construction and nodded:

"good."

"That's fine. Mimi will just come and go through the formalities in a while."

"No, Uncle Xu, I really can't..."

"Ah ah ah, okay."

Seeing that Yang Mi still refused, Xu Daqiang became a little impatient:

"Otherwise, who should I give it to? Three gold coins?... Ask him how many apartments our family has in Xi'an and where the doors open. Ask him if he knows?"

"...How many sets are there?"

Xu Xin asked after what his father said.

Yang Mi was speechless, but Xu Daqiang also said:

"I don't know, Xiao Li, how many apartments does our family have now?"

Li Hao thought about it and said:

"I have to go back and look at the house book...Uncle, I don't know. About ten or so? It seems like a few villas and a few houses..."

"..."

Listening to these three people chatting, Yang Mi felt her blood pressure rising.

Let’s put aside whether we have money or not.

Don’t you know how many houses there are in your family?

this……

…

In the evening, there was a state banquet.

Xu Daqiang arranged a very luxurious dinner banquet.

The people in the crew didn't even let go of "accompanying actors" like Zhao Liying and Jing Tian.

all come.

eat.

drink.

Then everyone drank too much.

The new year is approaching, and the end of "The Wind" actually means that this year is almost over. This drinking session was like a summary of a whole year's hard work, including eating and drinking, and it didn't end until nearly ten o'clock in the evening.

After it was over, Xu Daqiang left.

After finishing his work today, he had to prepare gifts, so he returned to Yanjing first.

I came here just to take advantage of "debt collection" to see the two babies.

I originally planned to stay one more day, but it seemed that the two kids were ready to end it, so that was fine.

As for what Yang Mi told him about going abroad, to Thailand or something, Xu Daqiang also agreed with a smile. Especially when I heard that Thailand can also provide longevity tablets, I specifically told them not to do it...

She hasn't come through yet, so this isn't particularly appropriate.

It would be appropriate to wait until the two of you get married and get the certificate to get it done.

And when people are drunk, they tend to chatter.

Back in the guest house, there was no one else. Xu Xin took his fiancée's hand, sat on the sofa and talked nonchalantly.

"After "The Wind" is filmed, as long as it succeeds, your position as a celebrity will be stable. Then you can do whatever you want, and no one will say you are "floating" anymore... As long as you succeed, you will be stable. Live... If you succeed, you will be the new school beauty. You know the prerequisite is to succeed, right? Do you understand? You must understand, as long as you stabilize, you will..."

"..."

Yang Mi also remained silent.

Listening to my brother who had drunk nearly a kilogram and a half, he was talking about one thing over and over again.

She also drank some wine, but not much.

And the reason why I'm not sleeping yet is just to let my brother drink some tea to relieve his hangover.

But... gradually, she couldn't stand it anymore.

Why is your mouth so broken?

then……

"You, Du!!"

Her fingers directly clamped Xu Xin's lips, and she said speechlessly:

"Brother, we've been chatting all this time. I know everything, why not?... Hurry up and go take a shower."

"Isn't it tea?"

"You go wash first and I'll soak it for you."

"Oh fine……"

Xu Xin nodded and walked into the bathroom.

Yang Mi planned to start packing their personal belongings.

Although these things are basically the assistant's job, she still has to pack some personal belongings of the two of them by herself.

But just as she opened the suitcase, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Dong dong."

"Who is it?"

"Sister Mi, it's me."

Zhang Jiao's voice sounded outside the door.

"Jiaojiao?"

Yang Mi opened the door with some confusion:

"What's the matter?"

"Sister...can I spare you a little time?"

"...?"

Looking at Zhang Jiao, whose face was also slightly flushed, Yang Mi knew that she had also drank today. So no surprise.

Although under normal circumstances, assistants must not drink, otherwise they will not be able to take care of the artists.

But today Uncle Xu said that if we all drink, no one can be left behind.

So everyone, including Sun Ting, drank some.

After hearing this, Yang Mi nodded:

"Okay, come in."

After making way for Zhang Jiao to walk in, Yang Mi first went to the sleeping room and shouted to Xu Xin in the bathroom:

"Get dressed when you come out later, Jiaojiao is here."

"okay."

Xu Xin responded.

Yang Mi nodded and closed the bedroom door.

And Zhang Jiao just pretended not to hear...

No way, I'm used to it.

He is no longer the young girl he was when he walked in and out of the door.

When Yang Mi turned around, Zhang Jiao was already holding her and Xu Xin's cups, making boiling water into tea.

"Sit down, what's wrong?"

Of course she wouldn't believe that her assistant came to see her and just exchanged simple greetings.

The filming of "The Wind" has been completed for the time being, and everyone's energy has been exhausted.

Now is the time to catch up on sleep. If you don't take a good rest to find yourself, it's obviously something.

So after sitting down, she got straight to the point:

"What's wrong? Did you encounter any difficulties?"

"without."

Zhang Jiao shook her head and knew that Sister Mi didn't like ink stains, so she said directly:

"Sister, I want to resign."

"..."

Yang Mi was stunned.

I saw this girl hurriedly waving her hands:

"I know what I'm doing is wrong, so what I want to say is that for the next period of time, I... won't be paid. Until I take care of you and find a new image assistant..."

Regarding this matter, Yang Mi was noncommittal.

Just asked:

"What's the reason? Are you being wronged by me?"

"No, no, no!"

Zhang Jiao quickly shook her head:

"In the past few months with you, not to mention anything else, the money I've made and the benefits I've gotten are as much as what I did in Hengdian for a year."

"...Why is that?"

Yang Mi was really interested.

Not angry, not angry, not even feeling betrayed.

Because she could tell that Jiaojiao was not such a person.

After hearing this, Zhang Jiao finally said seriously:

"Because... I watched your play this morning... including this period, from "Sword of Immortal" to the script reading for you, to now... especially the scene with four mood changes, and Today’s one shot to the end!”

Her tone slowly became firmer:

"I still want to be an actor! I want to be an actor like you!"

After that, Yang Mi deserves to be flattered.

Because she doesn't feel that her acting skills are getting better and better now.

Frankly speaking, if it weren't for this whole year...

In fact, she didn't know how to handle this script.

Therefore, she doesn't think her talent is very high.

It can only be said that she is more prepared.

So just listen to this for fun.

As for the previous sentence, she didn't show any sneer after hearing it.

Instead, he nodded seriously:

"Tell me about your plan."

"...?"

Zhang Jiao was stunned.

"You...are not angry?"

She asked this question because she felt that she was being particularly unkind.

Not to mention anything else, the red envelopes and salary are quite a lot after following Sister Mi.

The saying that a few months makes up for a year is completely true.

But after only working for a few months, I suddenly wanted to resign... From the boss's point of view, it's really not a big deal.

But the problem is... this is 2009.

She is already 24 years old.

The next semester of Beijing Film Academy will start in September this year.

If you keep waiting like this until you graduate, then you can go directly to the third year.

She once talked about this matter with Director Xu in Hengdian.

Time is like a slow death to her. She knows that she will "die", but dreams and reality cannot be reconciled.

She wants to choose reality.

But here we are again in this vanity fair called "Dream", watching Sister Mi performing, watching Liang Bingning cheering...

Everything is like adding a piece of firewood to the fire every day.

And today, when I saw the scene between the two of them, both their emotions and their acting skills were so attractive... This huge fire was completely ignited by Moutai.

Especially after the meal, because everyone had drunk, they went separately.

Sister Mi and Brother Xu were both picked up by the car, and when the staff were about to take a taxi to leave, Zhao Liying, standing in the cold wind, said drunkenly:

"Jiaojiao, we will also be picked up and dropped off by cars in the future~"

It was such a simple sentence, but it became the best catalyst.

Even if...it's too late.

But she really didn't want to continue like this.

Want to give it a try.

Let’s see if a bicycle can be turned into a motorcycle.

Therefore, with great anxiety and even preparation for being looked down upon, she still found her boss and spoke her mind.

Faced with her own problems, Sister Mi seemed very calm.

He didn't answer whether he was angry or not, but instead asked:

"Have you saved enough money?...You won't ask your family for it again, right?"

"No! I have saved enough...salary, plus the red envelopes you and Brother Xu gave me during these holidays, I asked Baozi again about the price of the acting training class. The money is enough to support me in renting a house in Yanjing and attending training. After that, as long as I get admitted to Beijing Film Academy, I can live in the dormitory, and then...at worst, I can go back to my old job and take some model photos on the street. Anyway, the Internet is quite developed now, and more and more people are buying clothes on Taobao. The more..."

"Um……"

Yang Mi nodded slightly.

But it’s not that I approve, I’m thinking about it.

At this moment, the door was opened.

Xu Xin, who was wearing a vest and big pants, wiped his head and walked out unsteadily:

"Sister, I'm thirsty."

"Go get some mineral water and a cup."

Yang Mi gave an order casually.

Zhang Jiao nodded quickly.

Soon, Xu Xin poured a cup of warm tea mixed with water into his stomach.

After lighting another cigarette, he asked in confusion:

"What are we talking about?...Zhang Jiao, aren't you tired from staying up late at night?"

"Jiaojiao wants to resign."

"Oh...huh?"

Xu Xin, whose reaction was a little slow, was stunned.

"what?"

"I... want to resign and apply for Beijing Film Academy."

Zhang Jiao's tone was hesitant.

But Xu Xin's reaction was actually similar to Yang Mi's.

first sentence:

"Then you have to take a training class. Have you saved enough money?"

"That's enough, that's enough, Brother Xu, that's enough."

"Oh~ That's okay."

Without Yang Mi making the decision, Xu Xin nodded directly:

"Not bad, not bad. You have finally figured out your future direction, right?... During this period of time in the group, I just saw that you were in a daze. Well... tell me about the plan, how did you plan it?"

"Hey, I haven't agreed yet."

Yang Mi was speechless:

"Don't make trouble."

"What's causing trouble? Didn't she always want to be an actress? This is a good thing. It's better than recalling this dream five, ten, or twenty years later and feeling extremely regretful when facing reality, right?"

Xu Xin blinked his drunken eyes and nodded to Zhang Jiao in agreement:

"Come on, I'm optimistic about you~~"

"...He drank too much, don't be like him."

Yang Mi was speechless. After drawing Zhang Jiao's attention, she said:

"Jiaojiao, this profession... is very hard."

She spoke with sincerity and sincerity:

"Don't look at me like this...he accounts for 80% of my success..."

"I take one hundred! One hundred and fifty!"

"Yes, yes, you smoke and drink tea. Be good and shut your mouth."

Looking speechlessly at the man who was drunk and crazy in her eyes as "acting coquettishly and cutely", Yang Mi pinched his cheek lovingly, and then continued to say to Zhang Jiao:

"I am destined to be lucky, you know? But before I met her, I had also experienced the hardships of a young actor. But similarly, when it comes to starting points, my starting point is already much higher than that of ordinary actors. But even so, I have seen, heard, and experienced many things in this industry... This industry may seem glamorous on the surface, but that does not mean that all talents will encounter opportunities. Haven't you heard of Guo Degang's cross talk? Before there is no opportunity, Talent equals shit.”

"I know……"

Zhang Jiao nodded vigorously:

"But...Sister Mi, I have already decided. I won't change it!...I want to be an actor!"

"this……"

Looking at the girl whose head suddenly became stiff, Yang Mi had a headache.

She had no other concerns, she just felt... she was a little too old to go back to school now.

There's nothing wrong with male actors.

But the problem is...

You are a woman.

"How about I help you find some roles for you to try? You should start with small roles..."

"Sister, Brother Xu said that not everyone is an experiential genius... I want to go to school to study systematically. Because... Brother Xu has watched me perform several times..."

"Yeah, so-so."

"Oh, I beg you, please shut your mouth..."

Yang Mi was speechless.

Why are you acting like a yawner?

But this time, Xu Xin shook his head slightly and said directly:

"Don't think that I'm talking nonsense when I drink too much. What I say is true. Her acting skills are much weaker than Zhao Liying's. From "The Golden Armor" to Wei Du, I can tell. To put it bluntly, if she does As an actor, she must arm herself with knowledge and skills. Acting training class?... Scoff."

He sneered:

"Don't be ridiculous. If the teachers in this kind of training class could become popular, they would have already become famous. Even if you want to be a role model, you may be able to get a teacher qualification certificate. According to the formal requirements of the college, graduate from graduate school and stay in school to teach. Isn't it good to take this path? I want to act, but I'm not popular. I want to teach, but I can't even get a certificate, so why teach? It's just to cope with the exam.

Our profession is not about dancing, programming, or taekwondo fighting. We are a performance, and the nature of the industry is different. If an actor wants to get formal training and improvement in performance skills, apart from having a formal academic background, he can only rely on himself. But what you need to realize is talent. If you have talent, you have to work harder to survive... Your idea is inappropriate. "

"Then how do you know Jiaojiao can't realize it?"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes.

But Xu Xin rolled his eyes even more:

"Nonsense, I am the director and you are the actor. Everything you said is from the perspective of an actor. But as directors, what our industry values ​​more is plasticity and ductility. This is the essential difference, okay? Just like Director Zhang, he only needs to see an actress, and others can tell whether the girl is suitable for acting, or whether she is suitable for playing his own play. Even the most suitable development direction for this actor can be vague. To judge...that's the instinct of our profession."

"Why, an actor can't be a director? You even directed and acted yourself!"

"Yes. There are many actors who have become directors, but how many of them have you seen whose works can be remembered? If they don't make bad movies, they won't be bad..."

"you……"

"Sister Mi...Brother Xu...don't, don't, don't...don't do this..."

Seeing the two of them starting to get angry while talking, Zhang Jiao suddenly felt guilty.

I quickly persuaded him.

Only then did Yang Mi stop talking.

Then he pinched Xu Xin's cheek and said viciously:

"Just wait! I'll kill you soon!"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

Zhang Jiao was speechless again.

I tried to persuade you, who asked you two to show off your affection?

But in the end, she said:

"Sister... I still want to be an actor. I have made my decision. It's not impulsive, nor is it because of drinking. So..."

"Just do this."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Yang Mi.

"If you want to, I support...it just so happens that I also want to talk to you about this matter recently. I originally planned to tell you after the year, but I will just say it now."

She suddenly pointed at Xu Xin who was rubbing his face:

"Jiaojiao, can you take good care of him?"

"……ah?"

Zhang Jiao was stunned.

Just listen to Yang Mi say:

"After the filming of this movie, your brother Xu promised Director Zhang to go back to school to settle down for a while. In other words, study hard and make progress every day. And I have been worrying about what kind of assistant to find for him. He didn't pass me. I can’t trust someone who has a hand, I’m afraid I can’t take good care of him... He’s so talkative, can you understand what I mean?”

"...Understood. Brother Xu is not very good at rejecting people."

"????"

Xu Xin was stunned:

"I won't refuse anyone!?"

Yang Mi ignored him and just nodded slightly:

"The time when he goes back to school happens to be the time next year when I will start to get busy. I originally asked Tingting to hire an assistant at the beginning of the new year and come to my place for a while to observe. But now that you say so Alright...I'll give you a plan. You, start following him from now on."

"I do not want!"

Xu Laoer, who had drunk too much, looked proud when he said this.

Did you just say that I won't reject people?

Now I refuse to show you!

pity……

Yang Mi knew how to handle him very well.

"If you are obedient and someone takes care of you, I can feel relieved...don't make me worry, okay?"

"..."

Xu Xin was stunned...

"……All right."

"Look~"

The sister who was originally as gentle as water immediately changed her face.

He looked like "you see, I can do something about it".

"Fuck...you..."

"I'll talk about it later."

"???"

Under Zhang Jiao's speechless gaze, Yang Mi said seriously:

"He is at school, and you go to school too. You take your classes, and he does his thing. I know that Beijing Film Academy's classes are not heavy. And he also has to take the postgraduate entrance examination... so you will spend a lot of time together in the future. Resign , I don’t approve. You can be his assistant starting from the end of the year, and then you can take the Beijing Film Academy entrance exam based on your ability. It’s considered a work-study program... Of course, if you don’t pass the exam... come back obediently. Next year I will start my own company. , the image of an artist also requires people. How about it?"

Zhang Jiao was obviously confused by this unfolding.

But in fact, Yang Mi was telling the truth.

Zhang Jiao's clothes are very good.

Both Shishi and Yifei agree with this.

And most importantly, she also likes this girl's taste in private servers.

It's not impossible to find an image assistant that suits her so well, but she has a lot to do every day and doesn't have the time to look for one.

The other thing is...

This girl is very attentive.

She loved the meticulous energy.

What's more, if you take a peek and see the whole thing, this girl can do that to Zhao Liying, which shows that she has a conscience.

What a nice girl.

He couldn't bear to let Yang Mi go.

In addition to the observations during this period, "honest", "duty" and "smart".

The scale control is also great.

She was relieved.

But for Zhang Jiao, apart from being flattered on the one hand, it was more of a habitual thinking.

Therefore, she subconsciously said:

"Can I... think about it?"

But Yang Mi shook her head, seemingly calm but domineering:

"No. Let's just settle the matter."

After speaking, she patted the table:

"Let's just say this. It's getting late, go and rest. You...come with me."

Xu Xin, who was beginning to feel sleepy, raised his eyes...

"what?"

Yang Mi nodded:

"Um."

Zhang Jiao, who was confused by Sister Mi's strength, was speechless for a moment...

this……

How else can this be explained?

She couldn't quite understand.

But once again she was shocked.

Thanks to the leader of "Why Not a Little Cotton Jacket", I currently owe five updates. Settlement this month! By no means late, but the pressure on my hand was a bit too much and it really hurt so much that it gave me a day or two. Thank you for your understanding and support! Thanks!
