I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 314 312. Borrowing money

10 at night.

Xu Xin rubbed his eyes and closed the "Jinling Thirteen Panties" in his hand.

"Go to sleep, sister."

He snuggled into the bed, put his hand on Yang Mi's legs, who was still half leaning against the head of the bed, and caressed her gently.

The feel is not generally good.

"Um."

Yang Mi responded rather perfunctorily:

"Go to sleep."

"...Aren't you still asleep?"

"You're sleeping, I'm... watching for ten minutes."

Holding the copy of Wa Huan... No, Legend of Zhen Huan, Yang Mi said without turning her head.

"...It's already 10 o'clock."

"If you say one more thing, I will demote you to a commoner, and I won't play your cards again in the future."

"……What the hell?"

Xu Xin didn't understand.

But Yang Mi was impatient:

"Oops! You go to bed quickly, I'll be asleep soon."

"..."

Helpless, Xu Xin turned off the lamp on his side and turned around.

His sleep quality is not bad and he can sleep on the pillow.

Then I felt vaguely that something was not right.

Opening his eyes subconsciously, he saw a figure with his back to him.

"……elder sister?"

"Huh?...Uh...I need to go to the toilet."

Hearing this, Xu Xin, who was not very clear-headed, stood up subconsciously:

"I'll help you..."

"No, just go to sleep."

"No...what if you fall?"

His responsibility as a husband made him stand up immediately, and then walked to the foot of the bed in three unsteady steps, meaning to help Yang Mi go to the bathroom.

Yang Mi did not refuse, stepping on the desk lamp that served as a night light, and was helped by her brother to the bathroom.

Xu Xin leaned against the door frame and continued to doze with half-open eyes.

Then, after being disturbed by the sound of the toilet flushing, she diligently helped Yang Mi back to the bed.

I glanced at my phone out of habit...

2:00.

"Is it 2 o'clock?"

"……I do not know."

Yang Mi’s voice was unusually calm:

"I was also woken up by peeing."

"oh oh."

Xu Xin turned around and faced her.

With a "click" sound, the desk lamp turned off.

The room fell into darkness.

Then the next day... Yang Mi didn't get up.

I even skipped breakfast and slept until past ten o'clock.

Xu Xin was so frightened that she thought she was not feeling well and wanted to take her to the hospital for a checkup.

However, after the family doctor came over for examination with some fetal heart rate monitoring equipment, he found that everything was normal.

This made Xu Xin look puzzled.

what's the situation?

My sister, who has always had a normal schedule, actually slept until past 10 o'clock?

Then, after having breakfast, she actually picked up the book again...

Um……

Not to mention, it feels a bit like when she was chasing "Nirvana in Fire".

But for pregnant women, as long as they feel comfortable, that's fine.

Just do whatever you want.

He didn't care, but went directly to the West Film Studio to continue watching the blind audition of "The Voice".

But...maybe it's because of word-of-mouth fermentation? Or maybe the confidentiality work was not done well? There were a lot of reporters outside the West Film Studio today.

Not even hidden.

Just standing guard on both sides of the road.

And Xu Xin saw with his own eyes a boy with a "The Voice" contestant's pass on his chest. When he walked to the door with... a middle-aged couple who must be his parents, they were stopped by the group of reporters.

He frowned and said to Zhang Jiao who was driving:

"Stop for a moment after entering."

"OK."

The commercial vehicle drove into Xiying Studio and stopped.

Xu Xin waved to the security guard in the communication room.

As soon as he saw Xu Xin, the security guard in his thirties trotted over quickly:

"Director Xu."

Xu Xin nodded politely and pointed to the door:

"What's going on with these reporters?"

"I don't know, it just came suddenly."

"Then those who are looking for us, stop them on both sides and don't let them interfere with the players."

Hearing this, the security guard nodded quickly:

"Okay! Okay! Do it right away!"

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Xu Xin casually took out two boxes of cigarettes from the side compartment of the car:

"Hold it to the brothers."

"Ah? Oops, what a joke, why are you so embarrassed..."

"Take it and smoke it."

Xu Xin forced the cigarette into his hand, then waved his hand:

"Take care of it quickly."

"Eh!"

Before the car door closed, Xu Xin saw that the security guard had returned to the house and started calling people with a walkie-talkie.

Originally it was just a small episode.

Xu Xin just didn't want them to affect the state of the audition contestants.

You must know that many of these contestants are ordinary people, and if this group of reporters conduct normal interviews, it will be fine, but if they make some small moves and start to use clichés, then the mystery of "The Voice" will be lost.

Even if everyone has been informed of the confidentiality.

But being on guard against others is essential.

Following his instructions, the security team from Xiying Studio soon began to gather at the door.

For these reporters, the security team's approach is fairly straightforward.

We are all locals, who cares whether you have interview rights?

Although this is a bit exaggerated, at least Xiying Studio is the only one in Xi'an.

If I let you go, you have to give me face.

Of course, it must be carried out in a civilized manner and not cause trouble to the factory.

So, these people were directly divided into two teams, one team guarded the door of the guest house, and the other team guarded the gate.

Anyway, there's a road separating the two sides.

Once the reporters were isolated, the contestants were no longer disturbed. From the time they came out of the guest house to the time they entered the Xiying Studio, they were never disturbed again.

And reporters are not stupid.

It was summer, and I had heard some gossip. It was said that "The Voice" was doing pretty well, and I wanted to see if I could come here to get some first-hand news.

But since people here don't allow interviews, it's so early in the afternoon... some reporters won't force it.

It's such a hot weather and taking photos of contestants who God knows will be selected or eliminated is just looking for trouble.

Some smarter reporters have given up.

"The Voice" starts at 1 o'clock, and the contestants usually arrive around 12 o'clock to prepare.

The players can eat at the guesthouse, but they are still hungry.

This is the case for two local Xi'an reporters.

Seeing that the West Film Studio refused to allow interviews, they put away the camera and planned to find a place to eat a bowl of noodles, drink a bottle of Bingfeng, and then see what the situation would be in the afternoon.

There are places to eat on Furong West Road next to the West Film Studio.

The two of them walked that way.

But as soon as they reached the intersection of Furong West Road and Xiying Road, the two of them suddenly saw a commercial vehicle approaching from Furong West Road.

Originally it was nothing.

But when the car door opened, a woman with disheveled hair and a baseball cap got out of the car.

After getting out of the car, she turned around and smiled and waved goodbye to the people in the car. She even waited for the car to turn around and leave before walking towards the two reporters carrying two shopping bags.

Through professional instinct, the two reporters felt something was wrong.

This woman... is quite beautiful.

One of them subconsciously raised the camera in his hand and quickly took two photos.

After he finished taking the photo, the woman in the baseball cap opposite also noticed it.

Then... After being stunned for a moment, the woman lowered the brim of her hat, then started to cross the road, and after going around in a circle with the two reporters, she continued walking towards the West Film Studio.

When the reporter saw this, he quickly chased after him.

But the woman's pace was not slow. When the reporters crossed the road, she was already walking quickly towards the gate of Xiying Film Studio with her shopping bag under the watchful eyes of the two reporters.

Then there's no way.

One of the reporters checked the photos he had taken and asked:

"Who...is this person?"

"I didn't see clearly. Anyway, it's not Yang Mi or Liang Binning."

"Well……"

After hearing what his companion said, the reporter checked his photo.

He took a photo with the license plate number of a commercial vehicle.

Also zoomed in a bit.

After seeing that it was a license plate from Shaanxi A, I didn't think much about it.

His attention shifted to the woman's profile.

The photo wasn’t perfect, and I really couldn’t see anyone clearly from the profile.

Slightly regretful.

But at this moment, suddenly, a phone call came:

"Hey! Come to the airport quickly! Hurry!"

"What are you doing? Why don't you have lunch?"

"Liu Yifei! Liu Yifei is coming to Xi'an! Hurry!"

The moment they heard the news, the two of them stopped eating and trotted towards their cars!

Soon, relying on his familiarity with the roads in Xi'an, Lao Poussin ran out with great motivation.

…

"Junior brother, I'm leaving."

"ah?"

Xu Xin, who was drinking tea in the office, sounded dissatisfied:

"You haven't eaten this meal yet, why did you leave just like that?"

"Haha~"

Huang Xiaoming smiled quite happily:

"I'm going back to Yanjing. I've finished my work here. Let's get together when you come back. I'm heading to the airport now~"

"That's...ok."

Listening to Xu Xin's regretful voice, Huang Xiaoming said with a smile:

"Okay, say hello to Mimi for me. See you in Yanjing."

"OK, all right."

After hanging up the phone, Huang Xiaoming sat in the car and looked at the time on his watch.

good. Although it was a little tight, it was still enough.

At this time, his phone vibrated:

"Brother Xiao Ming, a reporter just photographed me. It scared me to death~"

Seeing this message, Huang Xiaoming's face tightened slightly and he quickly replied:

"Didn't I block you? What happened? Where was it taken?"

"It's not blocked. It's right where we got off the bus. I circled around and now we've entered the Xiying Studio."

Phew~

Huang Xiaoming breathed a sigh of relief and replied:

"Next time I will pay attention."

"No, no, no, Brother Xiao Ming, it's my fault, I was too careless. I'm sorry."

Seeing this message, Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but smile:

"Haha, little fool~"

"^_^"......

The two chatted happily all the way until the business car arrived at the airport.

Huang Xiaoming put on his hat and got out of the car.

Before getting off the bus, he deleted all chat records between himself and Yang Ying.

According to the chronological order, after Yang Ying's text message interface disappeared, the penultimate "Li Fei" took the first place.

After getting out of the car, the driving assistant quickly went around to the trunk to get the luggage.

At the same time, people from the car rental agency who had been waiting at the airport also walked over and started to hand over the car.

But Huang Xiaoming didn't care about anything. He took out his mask and put it on his face while walking into the airport.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard two shutter sounds of "click, click, click".

"?"

Turning his head instinctively, he saw someone holding a SLR camera and shooting wildly at him.

A look of excitement can still be seen on his face.

"..."

When did reporters in Xi'an start to evolve into the trend of paparazzi in Yanjing?

He was speechless.

But he didn't think much about it. After taking a glance, he immediately withdrew his gaze and walked into the airport.

The assistant pushing the box followed closely behind.

But what he didn't know was...

"Are you sure you made a mistake!? It's really Huang Xiaoming!"

The two reporters, who were also at the West Film Studio just now, were looking through the photos in their cameras with excitement on their faces:

"It's absolutely not wrong! Look! Look! The license plate!"

Pointing to the photo in the camera that was just taken at the West Film Studio.

Even though it was a little blurry, the license plate was still clearly visible in the digital SLR.

The license plate is exactly the same as that of the commercial vehicle that was just driven away by someone from the car rental agency!

"Huang Xiaoming...isn't he friends with Li Fei? Who is that woman?!...private meeting!?"

"There's no need to ask, it must be a private meeting!"

"Haha~"

The two talked and laughed at the same time:

"Hurry up and ask, has Huang Xiaoming broken up with Li Fei? If not..."

"Quick, quick, ask! Contact Fengxing! This photo will definitely sell for a good price!"

"Um!"

…

"Hey, what's up?"

At the Good Voice blind audition, Xu Xin quickly left the table after seeing the call, walked to the audience passage, and then answered the phone and asked.

"Brother, Liu Yifei suddenly came to see me. I don't know what happened... What she said on the phone was quite vague. She just asked me if I was in Xi'an. When I said yes, she said she was coming to see me. , already at the airport."

"Well……"

Xu Xin was a little puzzled:

"Why did she launch another surprise attack... Didn't she also send you a message this time to ask you to trust her?"

"That's not the case... I asked Tingting to pick her up. Come back and stay with me. It just so happens that I have something I want to talk to you about."

"Okay, I'll go back right now."

Whenever his wife needs him, he is always there.

After hanging up the phone, he sent Wang Sicong a message that he was leaving first, and he dialed Zhang Jiao's number directly.

"Hey, Brother Xu."

Her movements were quite small.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm here at the actor troupe watching the teachers rehearse the show."

"Well...then it's okay."

Seeing Zhang Jiao "studying", Xu Xin said:

"You see."

"Is there a problem?"

"No, I just want to tell you that I'm going out and you don't have to follow me."

"Ah? No, I'll go find you right now..."

"No, just stay."

Xu Xin hung up the phone and walked to the parking lot.

The internal parking lot is right next to the office building. When he reached the parking lot, Zhang Jiao was already there.

Even the car was started, all four windows were lowered, and the compressor was making crazy noises to cool down the interior of the car.

Xu Xin was speechless for a moment:

"I told you to continue watching."

"I can't go to my job, otherwise Sister Tingting will criticize me again."

"..."

Xu Xin was speechless.

After getting in the car, he said:

"When school starts in September, you will attend class honestly, and I will attend class honestly. You can't delay any longer, you know?"

"……Uh-huh!"

Xu Xin didn't know whether she was sincere or just perfunctory...

Why did you agree so happily?

Speechless, the car drove all the way home.

After entering the door, he saw Yang Mi leaning on the sofa, holding the book "The Legend of Zhen Huan" in her hand.

"Are you addicted to this book?"

Xu Xin was speechless.

"That's what I'm telling you."

She handed the book to Xu Xin:

"Look, I think it's quite suitable to be turned into a story script."

"...?"

Xu Xin was stunned.

After taking the book, he asked:

"What's this about?"

Because he has a "record" of "The Wind", he still approves of Yang Mi's adaptation.

Even when he saw the name of this book, he intuitively told him that it might be a story about the intrigues in the harem. But he still asked.

as expected……

"Gong Dou tells the story of Zhen Huan, who went from being a silly sweet girl to a queen who has a mother-in-law in the world!"

"..."

In one sentence, at least 90% of Xu Xin's curiosity was blown away.

The remaining 10% is out of respect for the story...

I haven’t read it yet, so I won’t completely deny it yet.

With this thought in mind, he asked:

"In other words...it's all about women?"

"Well, that's right. There are men too... but the specific story is about the queen's concubines competing for favor, that kind of... People: Oh, sister, your pearl necklace is so beautiful, the emperor really loves you~"

She obviously has a big belly, but there is a terrifying look on this sister's face...

Indescribable flattery.

Xu Xin was stunned when he saw it.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Mi's expression suddenly changed, and the flattery turned into a vicious and mean one:

"That's what's behind you: this bitch! I want her to die!"

"..."

"..."

Not to mention Xu Xin, Zhang Jiao was also stunned for a moment.

this……

Did Sister Mi's face change so quickly?

But Xu Xin's head was already shaking like a rattle:

"Then I'm even less interested... As a male director, how can I shoot this kind of harem drama? How can I pry your women's minds?...I don't understand either~"

"You don't understand, just the author of this book understands... Brother, let me tell you, this novel will be turned into a TV series, it will definitely be great!"

Once again, Yang Mi used the same very firm and interested tone as in "The Sound of the Wind":

"I even set the background. In this book, it is a fictional "Great Zhou", and the emperor is named Xuan Ling... But I think it is appropriate to place it in the Qing Palace. But I still don't know which emperor period it will be placed in. Thinking about it..."

"..."

Xu Xin really didn't know what to say.

Seeing his sister's excited look, he scratched his head.

To be honest, he still has little interest in this drama.

He didn't know what others thought of this kind of intrigue among women in the harem, but he had a natural repulsion.

"I have that free time, so why not take pictures of the Ming Dynasty. The overt and secret fights in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty are much more interesting than the harem."

"Can it be the same? How can a man be as ruthless as a woman?"

"...???"

Xu Xin was completely speechless:

"Men are not as ruthless as women? Where did you get this fallacy? Don't mention anything else. Do you know how many people died when Zhu Di killed Fang Xiaoru? Yi Shi Clan! Is there anyone in your book who is more ruthless than him?"

"Well……"

Yang Mi was a little dumbfounded.

but……

"We are talking about different things. What you are talking about is rights, and what I am talking about is... Let me tell you this, after you read it..."

Pointing to the "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem" in Xu Xin's hand:

"You will understand how vicious a woman's mind can be. Just for the sake of love, you can do whatever it takes. In the same way, the deeper the love, the more vicious the hate... Oh, it's very exciting!"

She looked full of unfulfilled satisfaction.

It was obviously just some reading material bought from a street stall for five yuan yesterday.

But this moment it felt like... like finding a treasure.

Seeing this made Xu Xin almost sick with embarrassment.

Put the book on the table;

"If you want to make an adaptation, you go ahead and do it, but let me say it first...I won't make this. I don't understand women...and that's not right. It's either that I don't understand women, or...I'm not interested in this subject. In other words, do you want to Acting or something?"

"I don't know...but I like this story. Can we buy it?"

"Then buy it."

Xu Xin shrugged.

It's not a big deal.

He said casually:

"You might as well just buy all the novels you like, such as "Nirvana in Fire", the overbearing president, and those two men who are gay... what is their name? No, You'd better not touch this kind of story. Just make something serious and buy it together. Anyway, you have to provide resources after signing people here. If you want to take the self-made route, excellent scripts are definitely not available. It’s lacking. Just stock up more at once~ Watching your favorite novel appear on the screen should be quite a happy thing, right?”

Yang Mi's eyes lit up.

yes.

Why didn't you think of it?

The stories I like are not expensive anyway.

Why not take it and adapt it?

"Good idea!...I'll call Sister Zeng."

"Um."

Xu Xin responded, then picked up the "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem" again, intending to take a look at it to see what story it was telling.

But as soon as he opened it, he suddenly remembered...

"No, didn't you say Liu Yifei was coming?"

"Yes."

Yang Mi, who was calling Zeng Jia, responded:

"It'll be there in a moment."

"Where did it come from?"

"It should be Xiangjiang, right? I don't know, I didn't ask... Hey, Sister Zeng. Let me tell you something..."

Seeing that she started to communicate with Zeng Jia, Xu Xin said no more.

After reading the book, the first paragraph made him frown:

"The day I first entered the palace was a very sunny day. The 20th day of the eighth lunar month in the twelfth year of the Qianyuan Period was an auspicious day. Standing in the empty courtyard of the Forbidden City, you could see an extremely clear sky, as blue as a puddle of jasper. , there is not a trace of cloud, and occasionally wild geese fly by in groups.”

First person?

His interest was once again reduced by three points.

I casually flipped through about ten pages, and what I saw was: "Huan Huan, my relationship with you is like that of lovers who have cultivated together for thousands of years."...

Oh my god.

A layer of goosebumps appeared directly on his neck.

Forget it.

He closed the book directly and pointed to the back of the villa to Yang Mi, who was still talking to Zeng Jia about buying the copyright.

The backyard is his smoking area.

And when the cigarette was finished, Yang Mi's phone call was also finished.

He was holding his mobile phone to Zeng Jia to edit the book title that he wanted to buy the copyright for.

He yawned lazily, lay down directly on the sofa, turned on the TV and randomly adjusted the channel, and spent the time before Liu Yifei came, half asleep.

Liu Yifei arrived at less than three o'clock in the afternoon.

Didn't take anyone with me.

Didn't even pick up the luggage.

After Xu Xin was photographed by Yang Mi who was in a daze, he looked at Liu Yifei who seemed to be in a bad state for some reason. He was a little confused for a moment:

"What's wrong?... Sit down."

Pointing to the sofa for Liu Yifei to sit down, he winked at Zhang Jiao again.

Zhang Jiao understood instantly and quickly went to make tea and pour water.

At this moment, Liu Yifei seemed to be out of her mind... which was wrong.

Six gods without a master?

Also inappropriate.

It was more like...she was in a state of cognitive confusion that was overturned by something.

Very strange.

He couldn't help but glance at Yang Mi.

Yang Mi was also looking at him.

Obviously, both of them had the same doubts.

After the couple exchanged glances in mid-air, Yang Mi finally spoke:

"Yifei, what's wrong? You're out of your mind. Did something happen?"

"..."

Liu Yifei did not answer directly.

Instead, he pursed his lips.

He glanced at Yang Mi, then at Xu Xin, and then said:

"Mimi, Xu Xin... I want to ask you two to borrow some money."

"Hmm~"

For no reason, Xu Xin felt relieved.

Yang Mi also felt at ease.

According to the words of my biological father (my father-in-law):

"If you can solve something with money, then it's not a waste."

Although it was a bit of a joke, it was true that when money was mentioned, the two of them felt much more at ease.

Yang Mi nodded:

"How many?"

"Twenty million."

After Liu Yifei finished speaking, Yang Mi narrowed her eyes.

The thoughts in her mind seemed to transcend some kind of time at this moment. Before... her mind could fully understand the thoughts in her mind, an instinct had been born, allowing her to say the number one second after Liu Yifei said it. ,Nod:

"Well, okay. Shall I transfer you now?"

"..."

Liu Yifei was startled...

Now it was her turn to be stunned.

Subconsciously, she stuttered and asked:

"You...don't ask me what I'm for?"

"is it necessary?"

Yang Mi tilted her head, looking confused:

"You need money. If he has money, I'll just lend it to you. Why do you ask so many questions?"

"Well……"

Her attitude made Liu Yifei not know how to respond.

All the thoughts, reasons, and even terms of exchange, etc. that I wanted to say in my mind could not be said out loud.

In this silence, she instinctively looked at Xu Xin.

Although it was a bit shameful to say it, at this moment she actually hoped that...Xu Xin could calm down and let herself tell her reasons and the story of the matter bit by bit, including her own thoughts...and then make a decision... Borrow, still Don’t lend it to yourself.

But who knew that when she looked at Xu Xin, Xu Xin thought she was asking for her opinion.

So he nodded:

"Give me your card number."

"..."

Asking for a monthly ticket! ! !
