I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 341 339. This gift... (Thanks to the leader of "Attack on Titan"!!)

"That's right, Mimi. I like this book very much."

Since the other person is also a smart person, let’s talk in a smart person’s way.

"Uh-huh."

Yang Mi responded.

"So I really planned to shoot... and I also asked about the copyright at the beginning and planned to buy it. But after asking, I found out that it had been sold to you."

"Ha~ That means Director Zheng and we are destined."

"Um."

Zheng Xiaolong responded:

"Let's not talk about the investment for now. I actually have some ideas for adaptation. So if you also want to film it, my suggestion is to change it into a script and take a look at it first, and then talk about the investment. How about that?"

"Okay. Director Zheng, do you need me to help you appoint some screenwriters?"

Hearing Yang Mi's words, Zheng Xiaolong faintly wanted to laugh.

The most important thing in his life is screenwriter friends.

"That's not necessary. I actually called just to confirm. Since you also want to adapt it and I also want to film it, let's invite the original author of this book together and let's adapt the script. What do you think? ?”

"OK."

Yang Mi responded:

"Since Director Zheng likes this script so much, then I must also hope for the beauty of adulthood. Besides, I also like this story very much. Then I will contact the people in Jinjiang and ask them to contact the original author? How can I contact Director Zheng then? "

"Just contact me directly. But..."

When Zheng Xiaolong said this, he paused.

Then he said:

"Mimi, my requirements for TV series are still very high..."

"Haha, Director Zheng, don't worry, I understand."

Yang Mi's laughter was extremely hearty.

It sounds like a woman cannot give way to a man.

"I don't really like looking at shoddy things either. Keeping improving is also my pursuit~"

She answered decisively.

…

"Brother, you have to read this book and then talk to Sister Mo, Xu Yang and the others. You have to know what's going on."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Mi looked at Xu Xin who was still burping her son and said.

Having probably overheard the conversation between the two, Xu Xin also understood what she meant and nodded:

"Okay. I'll read it over first, and then wait for you to talk about creative ideas and the like. Remember to tell me and I will review it for you."

"Um."

"...by the way, do you plan to make TV series in the future?"

"Well……"

Yang Mi thought for a while and said:

"I should be able to film it. I actually think TV series are quite interesting... The premise is that I encounter a story that I like. Besides... in the future, new people in the company will also need to be trained, and I can't do it without me. But everything still needs to be done Waiting for "The Grandmaster". If this script really belongs to Wang Jiawei... I really want him to "torture" me."

Under Xu Xin's strange gaze, Yang Mi shrugged:

"At any rate, I have been drafting this role for a year. Didn't you notice? Whether it's Zhang Manyu, Zhang Guorong, or Tony Leung...these older generation Hong Kong stars have all been polished under his hands. From my point of view After finishing "Ashes of Time", I was very curious. How was the movie made? Why did it take so long... If it was really him, I would try my best. But if it wasn't him... Then just take it one step at a time."

"Do you know how bitter I felt when you said this?"

"belch."

While talking, Yangyang's milk burps were finally captured.

Xu Xin carefully placed him back in the cradle, and then began to rub Nuan Nuan's belly and do exhaust exercises.

Children are prone to flatulence, so doing flatulence exercises is very important.

"Although I don't deny Wang Jiawei's achievements, his shooting style is completely opposite to mine. I feel awkward no matter how I think about it. You feel like you are in Cao Ying and your heart is in Han."

"But you agreed on the script of "Gong Er" first."

One sentence drove Xu Xin back.

He looked at the smiling Yang Mi speechlessly:

"ungrateful!"

"Hehe, I'm happy~"

…

Adding a new child is a very important thing for any family. After the child was born, the two families began to discuss the full moon wine.

Although there was no ceremony, the two young men could not fake it after receiving the certificates.

If people don’t want to get married with a big belly, it’s normal for them to plan to make up for the ceremony later.

So there is nothing shameful about the full moon wine.

What was discussed was two sessions.

One in Yanjing and one in Shenmu.

But the Shenmu scene may be a little later.

In order to recover better, Yang Mi will have a 45-day confinement period. After her child is one month old, she will attend the full moon wine party in Yanjing, but the wine at Shenmu will not be served until after the official confinement period.

The couple had no objections.

Xu Daqiang and Yang Dalin started to make plans.

In the next three or four days, Xu Xin, who was quietly accompanying his wife in the confinement center, read "The Legend of Zhen Huan" over and over again.

After understanding the entire story, two ideas for adaptation were given.

The first is that the content of this novel is suitable for Qing palace drama, and it would be a little strange to put it in other dynasties. The author's writing method, which is obviously modeled on the Dream of Red Mansions, can be perfectly interpreted in the Qing Dynasty, the home of the current palace battles, if it is most suitable for the audience's perception.

The second point is... there are so many women, and in the end he can't even remember who is who... he must pay attention to the distinction.

As for the so-called palace fight...it was different from what he thought.

Sometimes it seems quite childish.

The author probably doesn't know much about the weirdness of the ancient court, so he is quite weak in this aspect. If you want to adapt, you can pay a little attention here.

If you can adapt it, change it. If you can't adapt it, it doesn't matter if it's weakened.

Don't make it look different.

After giving two suggestions for adaptation, he called Liu Momo:

"Hey, Sister Mo, let me recommend a novel to you..."

After talking about the adaptation and investment, Liu Momo responded:

"Okay, I get it. I'll read it first and then talk about it~"

…

October 15th.

The shortlist for the 46th Golden Horse Awards has been announced.

"The Wind" was shortlisted for several awards.

"Best Actress", "Best Adapted Screenplay", "Best Photography", "Best Visual Effects", "Best Art Design", "Best Style Design" and the most valued by Xu Xin, "Best drama".

However, he missed out on the "Best Director" award.

Accident?

Not bad actually.

It's not that he doesn't value honor.

But it has reached its own expectations.

The nominees for "Best Actress" are Yang Mi and Liang Binning.

From "Script" to "Photography" to "Visual Effects", "Art Design" and "Styling", these are all the ace talents of Xiying Studio. It is natural for him to be nominated.

What's more, there is also a "Best Drama Film".

Even if he asked why he was not nominated for "Best Director", he would not be able to tell the reason.

Why bother yourself.

November 28th.

It's the Golden Horse Awards ceremony.

Yang Mi can definitely participate.

As is the custom of the Golden Horse, if you can participate, you will have a chance to win prizes.

If you can't come, the award will definitely not be yours.

Let's fight.

…

Yang Mi "retreated" in the confinement center for 9 days. Counting the birth of the child, Xu Xin's life returned to normal exactly 10 days later.

Returned to school and started classes.

On his first day back at school, he received congratulations from many classmates.

After all, he is a father.

Someone also asked Xu Xin for wedding candy... Apparently they didn't understand the difference between a child's full moon and a wedding.

However, maybe it was because he became a father that his mentality was obviously different. Normally when going to and from get out of class, he didn't feel anything at all. But now I always want to call back and ask how my child is doing...

That feeling of longing becomes even more profound even if I just come to class.

When he returned to the confinement center after class, he felt full of strength when he saw the two little guys.

Especially when the child is awake.

Although they are still awake for a short time and sleep most of the time, as long as the baby is awake, he always wants to hug and kiss.

To put it bluntly... no matter whether it was an old man or the father-in-law and mother-in-law holding the child, he was afraid that these people's hands would be unstable and the child would be knocked into contact.

That kind of caring is really inexplicable, but it has an instinctive closeness that comes from the heart.

Can't stop.

And Yang Mi is a little more perverted than him.

Relatives and friends at her home heard about the birth of the child, and after both mother and child's conditions stabilized, they began to visit with things.

It's not that Yang Mi looks down on them.

But I am particularly annoyed by these seven aunts and eight aunts holding my child.

Recently, when she was receiving tutoring lessons on motherhood at the confinement center, she learned a lot about things that she had never known before.

For example, when relatives and friends come, it is best not to hold the child's hand. Because it is possible to pass the bacteria on your hands to your baby and cause illness.

Or maybe she couldn't kiss a child near the mouth. The more she learned about preventing cross-infection, the more she couldn't stand the older generation's way of getting close to children.

Her parents were okay, but she was particularly annoyed when relatives kissed her cheeks and pulled their fingers...

But I still have to endure it.

It’s also quite helpless.

However, this is not the most distressing thing.

The most distressing trouble... is coming.

It was around 10 o'clock this morning.

Xu Xin received a call from Wang Sicong.

"Dad, come downstairs to pick me up."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin looked at his wife with strange eyes and asked:

"My godfather's reserve team is here on the 1st, what should I do?"

"How would I know."

Yang Mi rolled her eyes.

"Your friend is not my friend. I'm not familiar with him."

"You don't have any other skills, but you are good at throwing blame."

Xu Xin glared at her and walked out of the room helplessly.

Soon they came downstairs and saw Wang Sicong and Guo Ping carrying a long box in their hands.

Wang Sicong was also full of pride. The first thing he said when he saw Xu Xin was:

"My dear father, I'm here."

The implication is: The baby’s godfather is here.

Xu Xin also felt a little guilty...

After all, he didn’t know how to deal with this matter, so he said haha:

"What are you carrying?"

"Gifts, gifts for my goddaughter and godson!"

"..."

The more he mentioned it, the weaker Xu Xin became.

Reach out:

"Let me take a look."

"What the heck, this thing has to be taken apart in front of the two children to identify its owner... Let's go! Look at my goddaughter and godson!"

"..."

Xu Xin finally heard it.

Two of his three sentences emphasize his identity.

It's obvious that "the person who came here is not good".

In fact, Xu Xin doesn't object to the identity of "godfather".

And no one stipulates that a child can only recognize one godfather or something.

But usually, children only recognize one godfather.

And how should I put it... Yu Xuan is actually responsible for this matter.

I was drinking with Brother Qian'er before, and when we talked about the chaos in cross talk, Brother Qian'er once talked to him about a very special cross talk actor.

This man is called Chen Hanbai.

Maybe the name seemed a bit unfamiliar, but as soon as Yu Xuan mentioned the image to him, Xu Xin immediately remembered this person.

"Have you seen those advertising spokespersons? A bald man in his forties or fifties is smiling as he draws a product in one stroke. The advertisements are quite complex, whether they are pesticides, health products, small brands of liquor, or even clothes. There's a bald guy posing there...that's him."

And why is it related to this person?

The reason is that this person also speaks cross talk and is Guo Degang's senior brother.

They all worshiped at the door of Hou Yaowen.

I was taken to the Spring Festival Gala by Hou Yaowen and gained some fame in order to expand my reputation and connections.

He began to recognize his godfather.

He first accepted Liu Wenheng as his godfather, and after being made popular by Liu Wenheng for a while, Liu Wenheng almost used up all his connections, and then he recognized Chang Guitian as his godfather.

After Chang Guitian became popular with his godson for a while, he almost had enough resources and recognized Qian'er brother's master Shi Fukuan. After taking Shi Fukuan to perform or something, he met Guo Degang's first master Yang Zhigang and entered the Tianjin cross talk circle.

Then maybe he felt that he could not stand up in Tianjin, so he turned around and recognized Shi Shengjie, who was only four years older than him, as his godfather.

The funniest thing is that at the ceremony when Shi Shengjie accepted his adopted son, he adopted two sons. One was Chen Hanbai, and the other was Gao Xiaopan, who was born in 1985 and is the head of a recently popular hip-hop baggage shop.

The two became "brothers".

Brother Qian'er usually seldom talks about someone in the cross talk industry to others after drinking, but Xu Xin heard Brother Qian'er say this at least three or four times to this person.

What he said was that he looked down upon his grandson.

"Lu Bu can only be considered a slave with a third surname at most, but he has a fifth surname. He's really not afraid of embarrassment~"

He does not mean that.

Xu Xin said this. After all three of his friends wanted to be godfathers, he always felt a little awkward.

After talking about this trouble to Yang Mi, Yang Mi gave an idea, which was to find someone to calculate the horoscopes to see who was compatible and who was not.

Let’s talk about it, it’s for the sake of the children anyway, everyone can understand.

After the incident with the White Dragon King, she was basically insulated from these nonsense things.

This time I just wanted to find an "excuse".

Otherwise, it would be difficult to shirk it, for fear of hurting your friend’s heart.

The result is not bad...the lives of these "three godfathers" are very suitable for the two children.

Now both the couple were speechless.

At this moment, feeling Wang Sicong's enthusiasm, Xu Xin thought to herself as she walked, maybe she should recognize the child.

The other two people just thought they were late.

Everything comes first, doesn't it?

Just thinking about it...

"Jingle Bell……"

Jay Chou's call came over.

"……Hello?"

"Hey, send me the hospital address. I'm getting off the plane."

"Well……"

Xu Xin glanced at the friend next to him and responded:

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Sicong asked in confusion:

"Who?"

"Deliver a courier."

"Oh~"

The eldest young master didn't think too much, carried the box wrapped in yellow silk out of the elevator, and followed Xu Xin to Yang Mi's room.

When he reached the door, he glanced at Guo Ping:

"Apple, please stay outside. The child is still young. Let's not let so many people in."

"Okay, Mr. Wang."

Guo Ping nodded.

Then, when Xu Xin opened the door, Wang Sicong heard a burst of milky crying.

Xu Xin was stunned and quickened his pace.

"What's wrong?"

"Nuan Nuan was crying and woke up Yang Yang. I just finished changing Nuan Nuan's diaper, and I plan to comfort Yang Yang."

Before Yang Mi finished speaking, Wang Sicong had already put his head into the cradle:

"Hey, little guy."

The crying stopped...

Although the newborn's eyesight has not yet developed, it cannot see real people clearly.

But the blurry outlines that were different from his parents still made him stop crying subconsciously.

Blinking hard, he looked at the unfamiliar head in front of him...

"..."

"..."

"...Hahaha~"

Wang Sicong laughed out loud under the surprised gazes of the couple.

"Look, you will be happy when your godfather is here... By the way, he is Yangyang? How did you two tell the difference?"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes:

"How can I tell the difference between my own children?"

"Yeah, yeah, you're right~"

Wang Sicong did not argue, but asked with a smile:

"Can I give you a hug?"

"Let me hold you and take a look, I'm afraid your hands won't be strong~"

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Wang Sicong nodded.

Indeed, he has little experience.

And there was a reason why Lao Xu was asked to pick up the child.

"Come on, daughter, son, godfather has prepared a gift for you two! Do you know what I have been doing these days?"

While talking, Wang Sicong opened the box.

"Let me tell you, it's not hard for me to find someone to help me with. I really put a lot of thought into this gift..."

After untying the yellow cover on the outside of the box, the couple's curious gazes revealed a simple rectangular wooden box.

The most striking thing is that there are two yellow symbols stuck on the seal of the box.

Wang Sicong held the box and came to Yang Mi:

"Let the little guy scratch the talisman paper with his fingers."

"..."

Yang Mi was speechless.

Why is this such a weird thing again?

However, she still gently pinched her daughter's fingers and rubbed them at the cracks.

A crack was opened on Huang Fu.

Next is Xu Xin.

After the two talismans were completely broken, Wang Sicong pulled the box board out...

A... wooden sword that looked rough and even blackened caught the eyes of the couple and the two little guys.

"……This is?"

Yang Mi blinked and was about to ask him where he got the fire stick.

I saw the eldest young master saying with a showy face:

"Thunder-Strike Wood, a wooden sword made of lightning-strike wood from Wudang Mountain, can be used to control the house and ward off evil spirits. I also asked the Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain to provide it with a light in the main hall of the Palace of Supreme Harmony. I put it at home and hung it on the bedside of my two children. The child slept absolutely soundly!”

"..."

"...???"

Seeing the surprised looks in their eyes, Wang Sicong looked proud:

"Now you know why I came today? When I found out that Nuannuan and Yangyang were born, I planned what gifts to give and discussed with the old man. It would be too vulgar to give gold and silver jewelry or something, and there is no shortage of that. My mother I go to Wudang Mountain every year, so I asked if there is any lightning-strike wood... This is different from the kind outside. It is the lightning-strike wood in Wudang Mountain. It is the kind that is taken down and offered in the temple to nourish the soul... I won’t take it out for you to see. Our hands are all dirty... Then we’ll hang it in the two children’s house, and I’m sure it will be fine!”

"..."

"..."

After hearing his explanation, Xu Xin glanced at Yang Mi...

From Yang Mi's sparkling eyes, he knew...she should really like this gift just like him.

"Old Wang...thank you, I'm interested!"

"Hehe, as long as you like it!... Do you two like it?"

He approached the two children with a smile.

pity.

The two children didn't say anything, they just continued to look directly at him, a stranger, in their parents' arms.

Until the eldest young master said with emotion:

"Dragon and phoenix... tsk tsk, you two are really perfect."

…

"Hey, come on."

Jay Chou covered himself tightly and saw Xu Xin walking out. He lifted the box with a smile:

"Axin, congratulations, this is a gift!"

"..."

Xu Xin glanced at the nine-inch cake-sized square box in his hand, which also included the yellow and red silk, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth...

asked:

"Here is..."

"Incense ash lock. The incense ash from the Tianhou Temple is given to the baby. I asked many people to get some. They were poured into two safe golden locks. My godson and goddaughter will definitely be given to Mazu. Bless them, bless them to be safe and grow up healthily~~"

"..."

Hearing Jay Chou’s words full of pride and best wishes.

Xu Xin’s first reaction was:

"Old Wang has met his match."

And the second reaction is...

One is Wudang Mountain, the other is Datianhou Palace...

If the old wolf were to invite one of the Five Immortals from the Northeast to come back...

Good guy...

Ah Piao has to kowtow before leaving, right?

Thank you to the leaders of "Attack on Titan"! ! Thank you so much!

The leader owes 5 updates.

By the way, why can’t this account be settled?

However, I asked everyone, many people said that they hope the update time can be moved to daytime... I want to ask everyone's opinions. Just put it here and say whether it is updated during the day or early in the morning. At the end of 24 hours, I will make statistics and see if I change it or not.

Yeah, I fixed the typo.
