I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 357 355. Kneel down! (32)

"I'm back~ My dear husband~ Hug~"

On the afternoon of the 9th, when she saw Xu Xin coming back, Yang Mi showed unusual enthusiasm.

Unfortunately, Xu Xin didn't take this trick.

He just sneered:

"Hello, YM player."

"..."

Yang Mi froze.

Xu Xin was still observing her carefully.

After observing for a few seconds, he said:

"I'm in good condition today."

"Uh...hehe."

Yang Mi laughed awkwardly again.

"What are you talking about...I'm not here to welcome you."

"Stop doing this! If I hadn't seen your Weibo, I wouldn't have known about it! You're good at it, you can play DOTA until 5 in the morning."

"..."

"It's okay to call until five o'clock. How dare you post on Weibo?"

"This, this..."

The expression on Yang Mi's face became increasingly embarrassing.

"The most important thing is, do you know how to delete instantly? Huh?"

Xu Xin was speechless:

"What do you think? Now everyone knows that you are an Internet addicted girl, and you don't stop even during confinement? The most important thing is that you still show off on Weibo?"

"...I had so much fun playing yesterday. Winning six games in a row..."

She also tried to quibble.

But at this moment, there was a knock on the door of the house.

Xu Xin turned around and took a look and found Xu Daqiang looking in at the viewing window at the door.

Xu Xin made an "OK" gesture.

Xu Daqiang then entered the room:

"You're back?"

"Um."

Seeing that his son agreed, Xu Daqiang didn't say much, but said to Yang Mi:

"The child is almost finished taking a bath."

"Then you and my parents can carry them over here. It's time for me to feed them...what's going on? Brother, you go out first and I'll feed the kids."

One sentence established Xu Xin's status as an "outsider".

Xu Xin couldn't laugh or cry.

But it was hard for him to continue talking in front of his father.

So he glared at her.

After you finish feeding the child in a while, I will give you a good scolding.

After hearing Yang Mi's words, Xu Daqiang said:

"Just in time, come to the guest bedroom and take a look at some clothes I bought for the child."

Xu Xin didn’t think much about it and nodded:

"OK."

Then he gave Yang Mi a "I'll take care of you later" look and followed the old man out of the house and into the guest bedroom.

"Where is it?"

"bathroom."

Xu Daqiang pointed to the bathroom where wet and dry areas were separated.

"...?"

Xu Xin was a little confused.

The clothes for the children are washed using the washing machine and dryer in the confinement center. What are they doing in the bathroom?

While wondering, he came to the bathroom door and peeked inside.

As a result, there was a sudden push from behind, pushing him into the bathroom.

"Ouch……"

Xu Xin quickly put his hand on the basin and subconsciously turned around to see what the old man was doing.

As a result, I saw that Xu Daqiang had closed the bathroom door.

"……dad?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the old man's gloomy face dripping with tears.

"???"

Suddenly, Xu Xin was scared.

Especially when I saw Xu Daqiang taking out the belt from his waist...

"Dad...you...what...are you...doing? What's wrong?"

"Kneel down."

A word that was ordinary but without warmth came out of Xu Daqiang's mouth.

"???"

Xu Xin was stunned.

kneel?

Being beaten while kneeling?

In my impression, except for the time when I was eleven or twelve years old and had just entered the rebellious period, he once visited his mother's grave. He insisted on making trouble and refused to go. Then in order not to waste time, after the old man went with Sanshui, he made himself kneel down when he got home. …

As old as he is, he has never even endured a second spanking while kneeling.

In an instant, childhood memories began to roll over, and Xu Xin quickly waved his hand:

"Dad?...Don't be busy yet...What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Kneel down!"

"Plop."

Xu Xin quickly knelt down on the somewhat hard tiles in the bathroom.

But he still looked puzzled.

What's wrong with me?

As for Xu Daqiang, when he saw his son kneeling in front of him, the position of the belt he was holding in his hand changed from the head of the belt to the end of the belt after being folded in half.

The golden GUCCI leather belt fell in front of Xu Xin.

It made him break into a cold sweat.

It is only natural that a son should kneel down to me.

But...the belt head is showing?

What have I done to make people angry?

"Dad, did you do something wrong? You hit me and didn't say anything. But before you hit me, did you want to know if you were wrong?"

Xu Daqiang, who was carrying a belt, looked down at his son's puzzled expression and asked word by word:

"When Sanjin and Sanshui got married, they knelt on your mother's grave and swore an oath. Remember?"

Xu Xin was stunned.

Then he nodded:

"Remember, it's right next to you."

"That's quite true, remember?"

"Make Sanshui swear that once you get married, you will live a life with your sister-in-law wholeheartedly. Don't dare to be half-hearted, otherwise my mother will not be able to sleep peacefully down there!"

Speaking of this, Xu Xin was suddenly startled...

Then the fear and confusion in his eyes faded slightly...looking at Xu Daqiang:

"Dad, I didn't do anything to feel sorry for Mimi."

"You didn't do it?"

Xu Daqiang narrowed his eyes.

Xu Xin's heart suddenly rose to his throat again.

The fear that his father's belt might fall on him at any time is more torturous than the pain that hits his body.

He nodded quickly:

"No, no! It's really not true! I attended a cocktail party yesterday, and I was with Lao Qi. After the cocktail party, I went back to No. 5 Courtyard! I ate half a bucket of instant noodles, and let Xu Lao Qi take me back to the magic city. He ate hot pot there. Then he went back to his house to sleep! If you don’t believe it... call Xu Laoqi!"

"How about a phone call? How about a phone call? Doesn't it sound nice to say this?"

"...The key is that nothing happened."

Xu Xin became more and more innocent:

"I didn't do anything yesterday..."

"That girl, isn't she pretty?"

Facing his son's explanation, Xu Daqiang just squinted his eyes and continued to ask questions.

Contains no emotion at all.

"Girl?...Who?"

"Still pretending to be stupid! Playing golf with that girl of yours!"

"Does it have anything to do with it?"

Xu Xin quickly shook his head and his tone was extremely firm:

"Dad, I didn't do anything sorry for Mimi, and I didn't dare to let Mom sleep uneasily under there. You want to beat me because of this, but you don't admit it!"

Looking at the expression in his son's eyes that said "I accept the beating, but I won't accept it".

Xu Daqiang's narrowed eyes opened slightly:

"Really not?"

"No. But that's how it is in this world. Just socializing and socializing. Yesterday afternoon, the man arranged for someone to accompany me to play golf. When attending the cocktail party in the evening, Xu Laoqi couldn't drink. Only when he was here did he drink! After drinking, we ate instant noodles there, and then we went back to the city because we were not full. We had a hot pot meal at about one o'clock, and then we went to sleep at his house! We didn't do anything, and we couldn't do it! What a mother! I swear! If I don’t, I won’t! It’s true that I even distanced myself from that girl during social gatherings!”

"Yeah?"

"yes!!!"

"..."

After Xu Daqiang heard this, he remained silent.

He just observed his son's expression carefully, trying to find any trace of concealment or lying.

pity……

No.

Apart from his fear, his son is open and honest.

"Dang Cang."

The belt was thrown onto the sink and he sat on the toilet.

The toilet was covered with a lid, and Xu Xin also heard the squeaking sound of the unfortunate toilet lid.

"Crack."

He lit a cigarette.

He reached out and pulled his kneeling son.

After Xu Xin stood up, he looked at his son seriously and said:

"Dad promised your mother that he won't suffer for himself in the rest of his life. If things go well, your mother will feel relieved."

"..."

In Xu Xin's silence, his eyes appeared a little vacant:

"I also promised her that I will take good care of you and Sanshui. Make a lot of money, live in a big house, drive a nice car... Once you have money, there won't be much trouble."

"……Um."

"I'm doing the sterilization to tell you two brothers that in this life, it's just you two. There's no need to fight or fight. When I die, everything left behind will belong to you two brothers."

"I know."

Then, the emptiness was replaced by a look of reminiscence:

"The two babies are taken care of very well, especially you. Every time, the clothes on your body are washed and clean by you. They eat well and drink well. The children are taken care of by their parents. You You're no worse than others. When the time comes, you won't feel guilty if you lie down next to your mother."

"I know……"

Finally, reminiscence turned into heartfelt expectations:

"Son... now that you have a family, you should live a good life with your own daughter. Don't imitate others, and don't imitate others. There is a mother-in-law in the bed, food in the house, and a baby playing in the yard... A person is blessed in this life. There are a few drops. Being able to keep these is already much better than ordinary people. Do you know?"

Speaking of this, Xu Daqiang took a puff of cigarette.

I didn't know if it was a sigh or smoke when I exhaled.

So long.

"Don't blame dad for asking. Dad has lived for such a long time. Is the woman lying next to you the same as you? You have to guard against her when you sleep... Dad knows better than anyone else."

Looking at his silent son, he showed a somewhat ironic smile:

"Sanjin, you have to remember that, except for your Aunt Di, any woman in this world being with you is a transaction. When it's time to talk about love, don't talk about transactions. When it's time to talk about transactions, don't talk about feelings. . These are all things that have a certain number~ When you sleep, you have to sleep peacefully. You know? Don’t fool around. Life is not easy, and when you think about bad things, it really only takes a blink of an eye... Okay? "

"knew."

Xu Xin responded quickly.

No swearing.

He nodded very calmly:

"Entertainment is entertainment, don't worry, dad. Yang Mi and I have also told this, she believes in me, and I believe in her. I won't do anything to regret her! I won't let mom sleep soundly or peacefully. !”

"That's great..."

He took another puff of cigarette and took a deep look at his son.

The hope and expectation in his eyes have not completely dissipated.

But he diverted his attention.

He threw the cigarette butt into the toilet, turned on the exhaust fan, and walked out of the house with his belt.

Just when Xu Xing was about to follow him out, he heard Xu Daqiang say:

"Take a shower and wash away the smell of cigarette smoke. Don't let it infect the child."

"Uh... ok."

Xu Xin responded, and just as he was about to speak, Xu Daqiang spoke again:

"I'm going to get you some clothes."

"Um."

When he heard the sound of rushing water, Xu Daqiang let out a sigh of relief:

"call……"

…

After taking a shower, everything was as usual.

But the old man is missing.

Xu Xin wiped his head and asked in confusion:

"Where's my dad?"

"It's not that you want to eat noodles. Has Uncle Xu gone back to roll noodles for you?"

Yang Mi was stunned and looked at her brother with confusion.

Don’t you remember what you said yourself?

"Well……"

Xu Xin opened his mouth and smiled:

"right."

After saying that, Xu Xin picked up his son, who was wearing a blue monk's robe.

"Baby~Daddy is back~~~"

"Don't hug him yet, give it to me. Burp Nuannuan."

"good."

After exchanging hostages, Xu Xin picked up her daughter and began to burp her baby gently.

While Yang Mi was feeding, she said:

"What did you talk about with Tang Yan?"

"She...should be considered close to me."

Xu Xin shrugged:

"I said I haven't seen you for a long time and I want to go camping with you. I said you made an appointment~ and asked me for my contact information. It probably means that according to the rules of the magic city, the man will send the invitation to the child's full moon party. Do all demons have this rule?"

"Excuse me. What else?"

"There's nothing else. What? Didn't she do well in Tangren?"

"She is from Chengtian."

"……Um?"

Xu Xin was stunned:

"Cheng Tian?"

"Yes. I called Sister Hua specifically to ask."

Hearing Yang Mi's words, Xu Xin asked curiously:

"Wang Jinghua? You two contacted me? How did you say that?"

"I didn't say much. I just talked about how she wanted to cooperate. It probably meant signing me personally. But I don't belong to the 18th culture, but belong to her personal artist. If the cooperation goes well in the future, I will set up a work room, she would have studio shares.

But these are all empty promises. The most important thing is that she is pursuing the influence of the new generation of actors, and I really need to expand the commercial value. So it should be a pleasure to work together, right? I asked Sister Bingbing, and she also said that this person really has nothing wrong with artists. And there is no direct conflict of interest between us. "

"What about resource competition? What if you collide with her artists..."

"You don't think she's just here for me, do you? And you too."

Yang Mi shook her head indifferently:

"Besides, the goal I have set for myself is to follow your pace and keep in close contact with the Shanghai circle in the next period of time... We will see the details. As long as my business value can be expanded, my goal will be achieved. Once the studio is established, give her a share. It depends on the output. Businessmen pursue profits. Whoever makes more money will get more resources. Isn't it that simple? "

As she spoke, she asked:

"Yesterday you said Tang Yan was looking for you. What else did you say besides camping?"

"I just said that I want to camp with you, and then... let's just reminisce about the past with me there. Just talk about what you were like when you were in "Sword and Sword III", this, that, that, this..."

"Are you leaving here and here with me?"

Yang Mi was speechless for a moment.

However, he still took the initiative to explain:

"I asked Sister Hua that since Sister Hua left, the management of Chengtian Branches such as Chengtian Nineteen and Chengtian Entertainment has been a bit chaotic. Then starting from last year, when we were filming "Sword of Sword" and joined the group , Sister Hua left Chengtian. And after we finished filming, Tang Yan went to Xiangjiang. Chengtian Nineteen, Wang Jing is the boss."

"The director who made "God of Gamblers"?"

"Yes. She went to Xiangjiang... but she was a little acclimated. According to Sister Hua, Wang Jing was not very good at using her. Now she is back and was brought back by her agent Ji Rujing. "Sword of Immortal III" Ji Rujing must have deliberately pushed her into the fire. After all...she is an expert at speculating on scandals..."

"Who? Tang Yan?"

"No, Ji Rujing. Do you know which couple is the most popular in "Sword and Sword III" right now?"

"It's not you anyway."

Hearing this, Yang Mi rolled her eyes:

"Nonsense, I gave birth to a child for some heartless man."

"Some unfaithful guy even got you a Golden Rooster Best Actress!"

"...hehehe."

When she talked about this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise.

Then he continued:

"The most popular thing now is Huo Jianhua and her. When Sister Hua and I talked today, it meant that if she took the initiative to contact me, I could accept it. She can't compete with me, that's for sure. It belongs to He Shishi Almost... but a little bit higher than Shishi.

Moreover, Ji Rujing's current attitude in Chengtian is very ambiguous, and he is very close to Tang Ren. If you want to hype up the popularity of "Sword and Fairy", then Ji Rujing is willing, Tang Yan is willing, and Sister Hua means that I want to get a share of the pie. Otherwise, my popularity will be cut and divided by them, and I will work in vain and be taken advantage of. "

Xu Xin frowned slightly.

This... sounded awkward to him.

Wang Jinghua is indeed professional.

Gotta admit it.

But……

"Shishi is our friend..."

"So if I don't help her, who will?"

Before he finished speaking, Yang Mi knew what her brother meant and said proactively:

"She is stupid, and I can't blame her. Her share is at most the warmth of Solanum nigrum. Tang Yan is confident now. If he really goes to Tangren, I won't fight. If Xuejian's warmth is gone, you can guarantee that Can you make Shishi eat all of them? Don’t forget, Zixuan and Xu Changqing have already become hotter. She is currently being hacked because of Solanum’s plot arrangement..."

"But if you go, won't she not be able to eat anymore?"

"She can't eat it, and neither can Tang Yan. For her, it's a victory."

"..."

Xu Xin was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, question marks popped up in both eyes.

He said with a bit of absurdity:

"Because the gap is not widened?"

"That's right..."

Yang Mi responded, then shook her head with some emotion:

"In the past, I only knew how to add things up...but now I have learned another trick. That is to reduce things down...tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.

"This side of Shishi..."

"After the popularity of "Fairy Sword III", the Tang Dynasty will naturally operate her. I just need to ensure that she is in the first sequence. In the end, "Fairy Sword III" actually helped me improve... Yes, but not much. It is definitely not as good as Movie.

If Ji Rujing, Tang Yan and Tang Ren weren't so ambiguous, they would have promoted it normally and it would have been a normal hype, and my share of poetry wouldn't have mattered. After all, Solanum nigrum is also from the "Sedum family". When I'm not here, it's her and Hu Zhu who are the hottest ones. But now there's one more variable.

Shishi might not be able to eat it, and the food I left behind would be chewed by others. Then I would step on Shishi's food, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. I don't have to take my things, but you can't take them. My own friend is not 100% sure about "inheriting" it yet. "

Yang Mi said this firmly.

It also means that she may have a "honeymoon period" with Tang Ren after her confinement.

But after she explained it clearly, Xu Xin felt that there was nothing wrong with doing so.

And when I was thinking...

"Oh, by the way, Jie Lun is going to start a new drama. A TV series~"

"...????"

Xu Xin was confused again.

"Just wait a moment."

He stopped his wife from continuing.

I looked around...

"What's the date today?"

"Number 9."

"I left yesterday morning?"

"Yes."

"That is to say, during this...day and a half that I was away. You and Wang Jinghua...no, I told you about Tang Yan last night!

In half a day, you not only chatted with Wang Jinghua, but also accepted Tang Yan's overtures and naturally divided up the resources of "Sword and Sword III".

Then he also had to help Liu Shishi suppress Tang Yan's ambiguous attitude towards the possibility of joining the Tang people. And then... you tricked the world into launching a TV series? ? ? ? "

"The world always changes~ right?"

Yang Mi shrugged after hearing this.

But Xu Xin...

"My...what is this?"

"..."

It is quite speechless to say that I am speechless.

But looking at her brother's silly and cute look, she felt happy again.

Yes, your old man's brain reacts quickly.

But your English is poor.

Hahahaha~

Partly playful and partly evil, she shook her head.

"I didn't fool him, he said it himself. In the afternoon, he called you, and you were probably on the plane. So he asked me... why don't you call him and have a chat?"

"..."

Suspicious, Xu Xin dialed Jay Chou's phone number.

"Dudu... hello? What's the matter?"

"...You called me this afternoon?"

"Yeah. But it's okay now. Are you still okay? I'll hang up the phone if it's okay. I'm a little busy~"

"What are you busy with?"

"It's about the TV series. Even if I tell you, you don't understand. That's it, eh, hang up first and contact me later."

"Just wait a moment."

Xu Xin stopped him dumbfounded.

"No, let's make it clear. You are the singing Jay Chou, right?"

"...Yes. That's me~"

"..."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Jay Chou asked tentatively:

"Are you waiting for me to ask you?"

"Nonsense! Have you forgotten that I am the director!? Apart from anything else, I don't understand anything about filming?"

"Hey, you understand it very well? Then do you understand China Television?"

"……What's that?"

"What about Zhongtian?"

"..."

"Look, you don't understand anything~ What I'm talking about now is not filming, but how to sell TV series. Please, I'm really busy. I'll call you when I'm done, okay?"

Toot.

The phone hangs up.

Xu Xin smashes his mouth...

Inexplicably, I feel like seeing Mrs. Niu and Xiao Tiantian.

After thinking for a while, he asked Yang Mi:

"what's the situation?"

"Idol drama, "Pandaman"... No, "Pandaman"? "Pandaman"? I don't remember either. Anyway, it is an idol drama... Maybe it has tasted the sweetness of the TV station. Think about it. Look, what kind of appeal and influence does he have?

Not to mention movies, the premiere of "The Voice" has proven his true appeal. And it's even more prosperous at this stage... But he didn't elaborate on it with me. He probably plans to talk to you later. Anyway, he is going to start a TV series~ I asked him for the script. If possible, Baozi and the others will arrange it..."

"..."

Xu Xin's mind was confused for a moment.

His attention was diverted from "Sword and Sword III" and "Zixuan" again.

After thinking about it, he sent a message to Jay Chou:

"Send me the script of your play."

"Okay, I'll let Dani send you."

Soon, Xu Xin received the script.

"Panda Man"

"In the city of 2030, a Cantian group headed by Brother Hu and Can Lang is harming people everywhere, and is secretly developing illegal killing weapons..."

When he saw the first sentence at the beginning, Xu Xin had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Future, urban, science fiction.

These three come together...

He also filmed a TV series...

"Brother, you seem to be ready to throw yourself into the street..."

Xu Xin murmured.
