I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 301 299.Goodbye Youth (13)

To tell the truth, a fraction of 30,000 yuan is equivalent to 16 million yuan.

how?

Not much.

After the box office comes out, one day's profit will be divided, but it is only five to six million.

Xu Xin really couldn't see it.

But the meaning of this money is different.

No. 1 in film history.

The "first" behind it is of great significance to Xu Xin.

The first-day box office of "The Untold Secret" was 14.8 million.

At that time, although he was equally happy, the unwillingness in his heart was still vivid in his mind.

He knew that there was no comparison between him and Director Zhang.

I also know that compared to other directors, his starting point is already unimaginably high.

But... when he learned that he was less than one million away from the first-day box office record of a domestic film, the unwillingness in his heart, the unwillingness to "get it just a little bit" made him His memory was fresh.

When "The Wind" was released this time, he had already told himself to keep a calm mind.

Don’t think too much about the gift film.

Be normal and just be yourself.

But the problem really comes down to this. The reason why he worried about the box office on the first day was that what was supposed to come came.

Can it be surpassed?

Can it be exceeded?

This emotion is always brewing in my heart.

Money, he doesn't care.

But this is the first...

he wants!

If you want to be fair and just, you can get it based on your ability!

And now...

He did it!

16.03 million.

He broke the first-day box office record for domestic movies!

Compared with Zhang Yimou's 15.7 million, it is a full 330,000 higher!

How many times in this life do people have the opportunity to be number one in the industry?

And he did it!

In the second movie, he did it!

A sense of excitement from his soul made him shiver violently!

Then he noticed a warm hand on his fist:

"Brother~ you are the best!"

"..."

Xu Xin said nothing.

He just leaned on the head of the bed, looked at the dark ceiling, and let out a long breath.

Then, an endless feeling of emptiness came...

Is this what it feels like to be lonely as a master?

He thought with a sense of complacency and overestimation as he drew his sword and looked around at a loss.

Yang Mi huddled in his arms and remained silent.

Just stay with him silently.

After about ten minutes passed, Xu Xin said:

"Go to sleep?"

"Have you calmed down?"

"That's right...I feel very happy. But you have to go to bed...you have to attend the graduation ceremony tomorrow."

"Where's you?"

"I will definitely accompany you. How can I rest assured that you go to school by yourself?"

"……Um."

After Yang Mi responded, her body began to arch downward.

Because of her belly, she moved very slowly.

Xu Xin carefully protected her until she lay with her back to him, then put his arm under her neck.

After holding his wife in his arms, he did not dare to press Yang Mi's body with his other hand, and could only place it awkwardly on his own body.

It was Yang Mi who took the initiative to put his hand on her belly:

"Dad is sleeping with our three babies in his arms~"

"Um……"

"I am Dabao and they are Xiaobao."

"Um."

"Baby, dad's movie is a success. Our family can eat meat tomorrow. Can we let dad buy meat for us to eat tomorrow?"

"...ha~"

Listening to these playful words, Xu Xin inevitably laughed out loud.

"Hehe~"

Yang Mi arched her back.

After their belly got bigger, the two of them couldn't hug each other face to face.

We can only "warm each other" in this way.

"Brother, we are about to move from campus lovers into society."

"..."

This description made Xu Xin not know what to say for a moment.

"You're about to have a baby, are you still a campus couple?"

"Isn't it?...I won't graduate until tomorrow~"

"Time flies so fast..."

Xu Xin was a little emotional.

From the first half of my freshman year to my current graduation as a senior.

"Do you regret it?"

"Honestly?"

"Um."

"Perhaps the thing I regret most is that I didn't get to know you in the first half of the freshman year... If I had met you in the first half of the semester, I could have been with you for half a year earlier..."

"……hehe."

"hehe?"

"You don't think you're my cup of tea in the first half of your freshman year, do you? Let me tell you, it was the first time I saw you driving a Ferrari, with your head full of gel water... I kept calling you stupid. You're stupid. Everything..."

"..."

"I'm talking about... you have such a high vision. In the first half of the first semester of junior high school, you fell in love with Yuan Shanshan~ Oh, I'm a little bitch..."

"Shh, don't talk."

Xu Xin simply covered his wife's mouth. After all this time, Xu Xin, who still couldn't look directly at the dark history of his freshman year, whispered:

"Smile at the poor but not at the prostitutes, you know."

"..."

This metaphor is also extremely weird.

"Speaking of which, how did you feel when you saw my classmates today?"

Yang Mi asked.

Xu Xin thought for a while and shook his head:

"I feel nothing, including Yuan Shanshan... But I was surprised not to see Bao Wenjing today. I thought she would come with her boyfriend... broke up?"

"I don't know. Anyway, after I sent the invitation message, she replied to me saying that she might not be able to come."

Yang Mi said and sneered:

"I guess you annoyed me because you didn't ask her husband to audition after you started "The Wind"?... She is really interesting."

"Tsk tsk...this guy."

Smelling the soothing aroma of his wife, Xu Xin closed his eyes.

Chatting with her one after another:

"After the premiere yesterday, didn't I ask you to leave first? Quite a few of your classmates asked for my phone number."

"Which one did you give me?"

"The one Zhang Jiao is holding."

"Well... we have to start planning for the celebration banquet, right?"

"Yeah. One in Yanjing and one in Xi'an. The one in Yanjing is Qinchuan Yashe, right?"

"Let's arrange a second show. Liu Yifei definitely plans to talk to me about something this time. I will also call Zhao Liying over tomorrow. Including Lin Gou and Baby, everyone will be together then. Let them experience the celebration banquet together. atmosphere, and then arrange a team-building activity for the second game, such as finding a place to sing a song or something, and everyone can get to know each other well. Then I will bring Liu Yifei with me..."

"...Then will you participate?"

"Participate. But I don't want to play too late..."

"But these people all smoke..."

"Well……"

After a moment of silence, Yang Mi said:

"Then I'll go over there and meet each other before leaving. You let the wheel bring Alang and Abao here. We are all young people. With their lively atmosphere, it must be OK."

"Okay~... By the way, what does Liu Yifei want to do when she comes to you this time? Does she want to join you?"

"That's not the case. I think I want to know more clearly...but I don't plan to tell her too much."

"What's the reason?"

"There is no need to say anything at this stage. The difficulty is not with her, nor with Chen Jinfei, but with Aunt Liu. She wants me to give her some advice..."

"We can't do this."

"Yes, after all, they are mother and son. How could I let her quarrel with Aunt Liu just to get her? It's unrealistic. There is no big grudge between mother and daughter. When everyone calms down later, don't I become The one who is the least thing? So I won’t say anything to her tomorrow. If she wants to regain her freedom... she can only rely on herself."

"Um……"

The two of them just talked like this. The more they talked, the slower the other party's response became.

slowly……

Just fell into sleep.

…

"The box office of "The Wind" is released on the first day, and it is aiming for the top spot in film history!"

This was the news that attracted the most attention in the entertainment industry early in the morning on June 13th.

Although this title is full of clickbait flavor.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that there is nothing wrong with it.

With a box office of 16.03 million, it is indeed the first-day box office record in film history.

Coincidentally, today is the graduation ceremony of Beiying Film School's Grade 05 students, and Yang Mi will definitely attend, so early in the morning, countless reporters squatted at the entrance of Beiying Film School.

Waiting to interview Xu Xin and Yang Mi.

In a business car.

"Brother Xu, I have replied to all the congratulation text messages sent from my work account."

Hearing Zhang Jiao's words, Xu Xin, who was sitting in the back row of the Volvo, responded and turned to look at Yang Mi, who had not been in a very beautiful mood since this morning...

After Yang Mi felt his gaze, she grinned:

"What are you looking at! Be careful! I'll kill you!"

"..."

Xu Xin hesitated for a second and turned his head away.

Everything was fine.

But the temper of a pregnant woman... is like the face of a baby in June.

One second it was sunny, but the next second it collapsed.

She has obviously been pregnant for a long time... Yang Mi herself didn't even think it was a problem.

It's even fine when I go out.

But as she walked, she suddenly began to complain about Xu Xin:

"It's all your fault! I'm going to take my graduation photo with a big belly! It's so ugly! It's all your fault! Please reach out your hand and let me take one bite... No, three bites!"

Then Xu Xin, who had three more teeth marks on his arm, couldn’t be coaxed...

never mind.

Just bear with it.

The world is big, and our baby’s mother is the biggest.

But Cheng Hu, who was driving, said at this time:

"Mr. Xu...there are reporters."

Xu Xin stretched his head and glanced at the school gate in front of him. Sure enough, reporters were standing on both sides.

However, on graduation day every year at Beijing Film Academy, reporters or talent scouts would come to watch, so the school did not make any preparations. The fence had been installed early.

And the security guards were also standing on both sides.

"Stop at the door, wait until we go in and you can leave."

Cheng Hu nodded:

"good."

Soon, two Volvos stopped at the school gate and turned on their double flashers.

Upon seeing these two Volvos, reporters immediately became restless and rushed to the cars frantically.

They knew the two cars.

Xu Xin and Yang Mi’s car!

But they knew each other, and so did the security guards.

Therefore, under the command of the security captain, a group of people immediately began to build a human wall and blocked the reporters outside the human wall.

Then, Cheng Hu and Xu Xin got off the car at the same time, went to Yang Mi's side, and helped Yang Mi, who was wearing sunglasses, out of the car.

The reporters became increasingly restless.

"Director Xu! What do you want to say about "The Wind" breaking the box office record on its first day?"

"Yang Mi, Yang Mi, can you accept an interview?"

"Excuse me, when is the due date? Where is the hospital chosen? Can you give me an answer?"

The buzzing reporters asked various questions, but neither of them answered. They just carefully walked into the school with Sun Ting and Wu Qiqi behind them, surrounding Yang Mi.

The security guard tried his best to maintain order and waited until Yang Mi and Xu Xin entered the school gate before taking a deep breath.

After Sun Ting politely thanked the security captain, she and Wu Qiqi entered the school gate together.

Cheng Hu and Zhang Jiao drove their cars to the parking lot.

God, it's quite hot.

Xu Xin took the sun umbrella handed by Sun Ting, held it for his wife himself, and they walked towards the main building together.

Graduation photos were taken in front of the main building next to the playground.

While walking on this road, he heard his wife say:

"I'm finally graduating..."

"No. Thinking about it now, it seems like yesterday when I first met you..."

"I still remember that I loved watching you play basketball..."

"Well...after coming out of the basketball court, we also like to take a walk here. But we haven't confirmed our relationship at that time..."

"But you've started to like me, right?"

"Well……"

"Um?"

Feeling Xu Xin's hesitation, a knife flew out of Yang Mi's eyes, grazed Xu Xin's ear and flew over.

Xu Xin was frightened and nodded quickly:

"Yes, yes, I fell in love with you from the first moment I saw you!"

"Um……"

That's pretty much it.

The satisfied Miss Yang let out a satisfied hum.

Then when she reached the main building, she looked around...and suddenly pointed toward the basketball court:

"Go. Let me perform a fadeaway jumper for you! The sound of the iron must have a rhythm, you know! If you dare to score a goal, you will be warned by the Triple Kaio Fist!"

"..."

What are these crazy bitches talking about?

Xu Xin was unhappy.

But... whatever she says is what she says.

The four people started walking that way.

It’s still early anyway.

When Xu Xin saw the people playing ball, he was happy:

"Qi Lei."

"...?"

When Yang Mi heard this title, she subconsciously raised her head and looked around.

Where is Mr. Qi?

"Haha, Xu Xin~"

Hearing this news... Yang Mi suddenly remembered that her brother's former roommate had the same name as Mr. Qi.

So, she sat in the shade next to the basketball stand and watched Xu Xin and a few people chatting there.

Anyway, it's still early now, so there's no rush to go to the auditorium.

There are so many people, it’s too crowded and it’s too dangerous.

As for Xu Xin, although we have only been together for half a year, and there is no relationship at all...but at this juncture, there is a sense of intimacy and nostalgia.

pity.

But there wasn't much to talk about.

There is no common language, but they are full of compliments.

When it comes to life after graduating from senior year, Xu Xin can tell that although Qi Lei is not confused, he obviously does not have a sufficient plan.

So while shooting, Qi Lei would try his best to ask Xu Xin something.

For example, how to carry out work and so on.

But he didn't say anything like "Can you help me?"

As a man, you still have to save face to some extent.

After playing for a while, the time was almost up, and Qi Lei asked Xu Xin to go back to the main building.

But Xu Xin waved his hand and refused with a smile:

"You can just leave first, I won't participate."

"Well……"

Qi Lei turned his head and glanced at Yang Mi, who was sitting in the shade of a tree, and nodded:

"Okay, let's go then... I'll keep the ball for you, right? You can't take it with you."

"Haha, okay."

Xu Xin nodded and responded. After taking the basketball, he patted it and walked to Yang Mi:

"Shall we go too?"

"There's no rush. Let's go that way now. It's crowded and crowded. When almost everyone has dispersed, let's go over there... Give it to me and I'll vote."

"Ancestor~"

Xu Xin quickly shook his head:

"Forget it."

"……cut."

Yang Mi curled her lips disdainfully:

"What were you talking about just now?"

"We didn't talk about much. We just chatted about things after graduation. He asked me if I had any good suggestions, where to find a job, etc..."

"How did you answer?"

"Let nature take its course."

Xu Xin skillfully began to arch his legs and dribble the basketball across his hips and said casually:

"Every situation in life is different, so it's not easy for me to give random opinions, right?"

"That's true……"

Yang Mi responded:

"Actually, now that I think about it, the elimination of our school is quite cruel. We, China Drama, Shang Drama... can almost be said to support the entire film and television industry, right? But there are only a few actors who can make their mark every year. Most of them Maybe in a few years, we will never see them again..."

"Why are you still sentimental?"

Xu Xin was a little surprised.

"No."

Yang Mi shook her head:

"I just think this elimination system is a bit cruel."

"You can't stand and talk without pain in your back."

Xu Xin rolled his eyes, held the ball in a posture of worshiping Buddha, and his shoulders began to shake up and down.

A little at a time, quite rhythmic.

It's like dancing.

"Now that you have established a foothold in this circle, you have time to feel sentimental about these things... But think about it, what if we are just ordinary little actors and little directors? While you are complaining about cruelty, you may also think: There are so many famous people, why can’t it be me?...right?”

"Who told you that I meant this?"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes speechlessly...but was immediately attracted by her lover's strange movements.

"What are you doing?"

"Playing ball, yo, yo, the cool morning dew wets the black dress, Father Fog is whispering on the stone..."

Seeing him shrugging his shoulders while singing "In the Name of the Father", Yang Mi said sincerely:

"You are really weird. You are already a father, and you have no formal appearance at all."

"Hehe~"

Xu Xin smiled and took two steps forward and stood in front of the three-point line.

"Do you think I can score this goal?"

"If you get in, our careers will be very successful from now on!"

"Well……"

Xu Xin was a little surprised:

"It's such a big deal?...What if it's not close?"

"Our career will be prosperous from now on!"

"Haha~Cunning little fox~"

Xu Xin smiled.

"Pah, pah, pah..." The rhythmic sound of basketball slaps sounded.

In Yang Mi's eyes, after shooting the basketball a few times, her brother suddenly jumped up high, made a very standard and handsome shooting motion with both hands, and threw the ball in his hand.

The basketball drew a perfect parabola in mid-air...

Hollow into the net.

"Uh-huh!"

"Yeah~~~~~"

Unconsciously, she cheered and clapped her hands together like a seal.

Cheering, touting, encouraging:

"Brother is the best! You're so handsome! One more, one more!"

"Haha, okay!"

He ran directly to pick up the ball, and after using all kinds of dazzling dribbling methods, he made another high fadeaway jumper.

"Boom!"

"It doesn't matter! Brother is still the best! Come on, come on!"

"...Hahahaha~"

"Boom!"

"fine……"

"Shua..."

"Yeah~~~"

He pitches and plays cool.

The woman sitting under the shade of the tree cheered him up with a bright smile.

Talking and smiling.

After quarreling for a while, Xu Xin, who was slightly out of breath, said:

"Let's go?"

"Well... let's vote for one last time."

Yang Mi leaned back, put her hands on the seat, and said with a puffy belly.

"good."

Xu Xin responded and planned to take a fixed-point free throw.

When he was getting ready, Yang Mi, who had to raise his head because he had straightened out his belly, narrowed his eyes because of the sunlight that penetrated the shade of the trees.

He showed an unusually comfortable expression.

At this moment, the weather is not too hot.

On this day, I was about to say goodbye to my alma mater.

On this sunny summer day, under the shade of the trees, in the colorful light and shadow, she squinted her eyes comfortably, enjoying the tranquility.

until……

"Did I vote?"

The voice brought her attention back.

Looking down, I saw the basketball once again drew a beautiful parabola...

"Uh-huh!"

Hollow into the net.

That crisp sound was like a breeze.

It blew across the entire playground.

Blowing past the ivory tower we are about to bid farewell to.

That is the youth that will eventually pass away for each of us.
