I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 484 482. If you have trouble with socks, you have to go to Balenciaga

"Hello? Xu Xin, what's wrong?"

"Sister Bingbing, where are you?"

Xu Xin's voice came from the microphone.

"Well, it's outside, what's wrong?"

As soon as Xu Xin asked this question, and after Liang Binning finished answering, an idea suddenly came to her mind.

"Do we need to change cars?"

Get one with privacy panels and soundproofing.

Because she had clearly said "Xu Xin" just now, and now she said "outside" again.

Obviously, he didn't expect to tell the other party about his upcoming trip.

But... Yingying knows the relationship between Mr. Xu and Xu Xin.

My answer...will it make others think too much?

Her face suddenly felt a little hot.

Very uncomfortable.

But the idea of ​​​​changing cars became more determined in my heart.

Xu Xin naturally didn't know what she was thinking, and didn't even consider that the other party was "lying" with such an answer.

It was originally just a pleasantries at the beginning of the phone call.

He didn't care about what others were doing.

So he responded:

"Well, Sister Bingbing, is it convenient for you to talk now?"

Normally, when she heard this, she would definitely ask Lao He to stop the car, and then ask the two of them to get out of the car to avoid it.

But I really couldn’t do it at the moment, so I could only say:

"I'm taking the car."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Xin understood the meaning and smiled:

"Then it doesn't matter. That's it, Sister Bingbing, do you know the city that never sleeps in the Tang Dynasty in Xi'an?"

"Well, I know. I drove by before and took a quick look at it. What's wrong?"

"Is such that……"

He told the story of the "Tang Palace Beauty".

Liang Binning's eyes lit up.

Is there such a good thing?

But he immediately realized something was wrong...Why didn't he push Mimi up for this kind of thing?

But found yourself?

So he asked in a joking tone:

"Why don't you let Mimi go?"

"Her? She can't play Wu Zetian."

Xu Xin didn’t think there was anything to hide, so he directly chose to tell the truth:

"To play the role of Wu Zetian, she is at the most talented stage. But she has to wait at least five or six years to develop the grace and splendor of the empress. So she can't play the role. From the time Deputy Director Ma told me this The words mean that I have never considered her since I wanted to deepen our cooperation."

Liang Bingning understood now.

After thinking about it for a moment...it is true that Mimi is beautiful, but it is really not suitable for her to play Wu Zetian.

It's okay to let her play a "beauty" like Daji.

This is not to praise or criticize Yang Mi, but to tell the truth.

As an actor, if she doesn't even know her own strengths and weaknesses and how to use her strengths to make up for her weaknesses, her years of work would have been in vain.

So, she responded:

"I see."

Another joke:

"Is that why you're giving me an advantage?"

"Haha~ That's what I said. Sister Bingbing is not an outsider. What's cheap? It should be said that resources are allocated reasonably. Then if you agree, I will ask the factory to recommend you. With this level of status, it is right You still have a lot of benefits. How about it?"

"Well……"

"……What's the matter?"

"It's okay... I was distracted just now. Okay... let's do this. I'll finish my errands tonight and talk to you when I go back. How about it? Well, if you want to drink tonight, I'll call you tomorrow, okay. No? Let’s see what I need to do..."

"You don't have to do anything, it's not that complicated. Just report you, and if nothing else happens, the endorsement of this Tang Palace beauty will be yours. Then just cooperate with the promotion of Sleepless City. Just like you started this year It is the same as fulfilling the duties of the deputy leader. This is a medium and bridge for the two sides to deepen cooperation. If I have this halo around me in the future, I will definitely walk with more strength."

Subtext: The status in the circle has been improved.

Liang Binning naturally understood.

So he laughed and said:

"Yeah! Then I know!"

"Ha~ Okay, let's do this for now. Sister Bingbing, just be busy, I'll hang up."

"Where are you?"

"Xi'an, it's time to make a movie."

"oh oh……"

After a few more pleasantries, the call was hung up.

But Liang Binning's expression was no longer as cheerful and cheerful as before.

At this moment, look at the scenery outside the window.

The sky is long in summer, and it’s not dark until after five o’clock.

She just looked at the busy traffic outside the window, and the inexplicable guilty feeling in her heart became stronger.

In fact, her hesitation just now was not due to any objection to this endorsement.

Just kidding, this is a 100% good thing... I can't say that.

But the pros definitely outweigh the cons.

The reason why she hesitated just now was purely because of Xu Xin's words.

"We are our own people."

In fact, looking back on our friendship, it can be said that it was very impure from the beginning.

She wanted to find a backer, so she looked around and finally chose Xiying Studio.

The factory asked the other party to contact them.

The two also played Tai Chi for a while, taking advantage of each other.

even……

"Ahem."

A strong feeling of embarrassment surged into her heart, and she quickly shook her head, suppressing some truly embarrassing memories.

"Sister, does your throat feel uncomfortable?"

Wang Dongying turned around and asked.

"It's okay...what's going on? Lao He, play a song, play a song and listen louder."

"..."

The driver, Lao He, looked surprised for a while, but he still obediently turned on the muted player.

Soon, Adu's voice sounded:

"He must love you very much~ He also compares me with you..."

"Change, change one."

Liang Binning quickly asked Qie Ge.

This...what the hell!

Soon, the prelude of "Tearing Up the Night" started.

She started humming along with the song:

"I tore a page out of my dream~I don't know how to write it tomorrow..."

No, I can’t think about it anymore.

…

What about this matter.

Yang Mi decided.

That's it.

She didn't want to tell her brother either.

Not hearing or asking, not looking or thinking, is the most correct approach.

Does the daughter-in-law take care of her husband's affairs?

Aren't you afraid of others gossiping?

Are you talking to your husband?

Goodbye.

So, she selectively "forgot" the matter.

Therefore, Xu Xin naturally did not know these things and continued to be the happy rice bug in Xi'an.

Stayed in Xi'an for 4 days.

On the fifth day, he returned directly to Yanjing.

The fourth college student film exhibition will be held starting tomorrow.

Different from those domestic awards, it also adopts the form of foreign film unit exhibition. Starting from the 18th to the award ceremony on the 24th, there will be a five-day film unit screening session.

As the directors of the opening short film, he and Liu Yifei were invited to attend the opening ceremony of the film exhibition.

…

Since Yang Mi moved to Chikan, the house in Yanjing has been basically empty.

Even when Xu Daqiang came to Yanjing, he didn't stay here.

He also has more than one apartment, which is the wedding room of his son and daughter-in-law. While the young couple was there, he came to see the grandchildren. But now that everyone has gone out, why would he, the husband-in-law, live in their wedding room?

Not suitable.

Don't talk about the water thrown out by the married girl.

In fact, it is the same for both men and women.

Since the child is married, both parents should try not to play too many roles in the emotional world of the young couple.

Xu Daqiang understands this truth.

Therefore, after the in-laws, father-in-law and mother-in-law play the role of taking care of the family, he plays the role of the one who provides money.

It is true that the son and daughter-in-law are not short of money.

But the truth has to be understood.

Otherwise, it will be easy for people to say things like, "Have you ever taken care of your grandson for a day?"

That's not good.

But if Xu Xin were himself, the situation would be completely different.

My son is at home by himself, and he doesn’t know how to cook or make noodles.

It’s not good to eat or drink well.

Since the father is in Yanjing, he must come to take care of him.

And after that time in Shanghai in May, Xu Xin had not eaten from his father, and Xu Xin also thought badly.

When I entered the house, there was no one at home.

Huh?

Where is the old man?

He shouted twice in confusion:

"dad?"

No one responded.

There is no one at home.

It's so strange.

Didn't he agree that he would have mutton noodles for lunch?

It’s almost 10 o’clock, and the mutton soup hasn’t been cooked yet?

He pushed his suitcase aside casually, put on his slippers, and as soon as he walked into the living room from the entrance, he saw a noodle table placed on the marble table where he was eating, with a stainless steel basin upside down on it.

Now I feel at ease.

Or maybe I have a big heart as a son.

If you are a daughter, you must make a phone call to ask about the situation and see what the elderly at home are doing.

But after the son made sure that his father had kneaded the dough, he didn't care about anything else.

I can't help it, it's been like this since I was a child.

When the old man cooks, he just waits to open his mouth and eat.

Sometimes Xu Miao has to help pick vegetables and other tasks, but he doesn't have to.

Because he is the youngest son, he is naturally favored.

Hehe~

Xu Xin chuckled lightly, his mind full of that bowl of mutton noodles that he dreamed of.

I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I just have garlic for lunch.

Well, that's a pity.

The acidic water cannot be released.

If it can be released, it will be more comfortable to eat at night.

"call……"

Going to the familiar and comfortable leather sofa, he realized that he was a little slow.

The air conditioning is still on at home.

There must be someone.

I'm so worried...hehe...

He was in a good mood for a while and turned on the TV and began to rummage aimlessly.

Hmm, Wulin Gaiden?

This is acceptable.

Haven’t watched it for a long time.

Lying on his side on the sofa, he yawned lazily.

Feeling a little thirsty again.

Forget it...just bear with it.

Wait for dad to come back soon and ask him to get some sweet water from the refrigerator.

His mentality naturally changed to that of a child. He was thinking about it when the phone rang.

Xu Daqiang called.

"Hello? Dad? Where did you put it?"

"……came back?"

"Ang, I just got home."

"That's just in time. Let's go downstairs and help carry things...ah, it's so hot today!"

"Uh... ok."

Xu Xin was actually quite reluctant.

Mainly because of laziness.

But he still got up, put on his slippers, took the keys and walked out.

All the way downstairs, I saw an old man riding an electric tricycle specially bought by his father-in-law and mother-in-law. He was wearing sunglasses and parked in the bicycle parking space.

Xu Xin quickly walked up:

"How much did you buy?"

"The weather is hot, buy some cucumbers and make a cold dish. The seasonings at home are several months old, so throw them all away and replace them with new ones."

Xu Daqiang pointed to a small three-wheeled seat that was not much larger than an electric car and said.

This car just falls into the "grey" area between large electric three-wheelers and electric vehicles.

So so far, old men and women in Yanjing City can still drive.

Looking at the bottles and jars inside, Xu Xin picked them up without hesitation.

Xu Daqiang was not helped at all.

But because both hands were occupied, Xu Daqiang had to take a few steps quickly to open the door for him.

While Xu Xin was carrying something, he saw something strange about the shoes on his father's feet.

The uppers are extremely long, and at first glance they look like they are just wearing socks when going out.

It seems to be... woolen?

But the sole is that of a sports shoe.

Is it an illusion?

It feels like socks are sewn onto the soles of shoes.

However, this kind of thought was just a random thought, and he didn't pay much attention to it for the time being.

After the old man opened the door for him, he carried his things and walked directly inside.

Xu Daqiang walked a few steps quickly and pressed the elevator button.

The elevator door opened, and Xu Xin put two bags of things on the ground.

I casually looked at the old man's feet to see if they were socks or an illusion. In fact, there was a support structure inside them.

There should be a support structure, right?

Socks will definitely change shape after being worn for a long time.

Are you talking about the quality of shoes made from socks? Can you walk with your feet?

It doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it…

At first glance, he saw the outline of his father's toes at the toes of the shoes.

"……dad?"

"What?"

"These shoes...are they socks?"

As he spoke, he knelt down and touched it.

Hey!

Are they really socks?

And by squatting down, I could see the details of the shoes more clearly.

There is a string of English letters on the heel.

"Hmm... I was stunned... for the first time... Balenciaga? What kind of shoes are these? Sock shoes?"

Xu Xin, who looked like he had never seen the world before, was shocked.

"Uh... I don't know. I bought it to wear."

Xu Daqiang said.

But Xu Xin hasn't gotten up yet, but is studying this shoe.

Hey guys, are they really socks?

These famous brands are really crazy about money, right? Put a sole on a sock and you dare to sell it for money?

Or... speaking of it, you have to be the one who can show off your socks.

Balenciaga.

"How much do these shoes cost?"

"..."

Xu Daqiang's mouth twitched.

"I don't know. I brought a lot of things to buy together."

"...at least one or two thousand, right?"

"Ang, that's almost it."

"...Tsk."

Only then did Xu Xin stand up, his eyes filled with emotion.

Or will they make money?

He even imagined the craftsmanship of these shoes.

You can even do it yourself.

But...it may not be possible in Yanjing. Because he has never seen a shoe repair stall in Yanjing in the past few years.

Unlike Shenmu, Shenmu can occasionally still see the shoe repair shop like when I was a child.

If the shoes are torn and glued, I'll give them fifty cents and they'll make sure they're done comfortably.

And for this kind of shoes... just go to Shenmu, find one of those shoe repair shops, and buy soles.

Then go to the supermarket and buy three pairs of black socks for ten yuan. Apply adhesive on the inside and outside of the socks, then insert an insole and stick it on the sole.

As for the cost...the sole and insole only cost five yuan at most.

Including socks, the cost may be less than ten yuan.

But once this kind of thing enters a famous brand store, it becomes a luxury item...

Tsk tsk tsk...

He stood up with a smile on his face and arrived at the elevator floor.

He carried his things and walked out.

When he got home and put the newly bought spices and ingredients in the kitchen, he didn't care about anything.

His current mentality is that of a son.

He is still the kind of pampered little son.

To put it bluntly, even if the soy sauce bottle at home fell over, he would not help it.

Both father and son are used to this way of getting along.

In Xu Daqiang's eyes, his son is always a child no matter what time he is.

Children can do it.

Just watch TV and wait for dinner.

Taking the soda he took out of the refrigerator, he walked out of the kitchen.

Just passing by the entrance.

A pause in his steps.

No, he was really curious about socks and shoes.

The old man also wears socks when wearing these shoes.

Can wearing two layers of socks be more comfortable?

So, he walked over directly, planning to put it on and try it on.

His feet are actually much stronger than Xu Da's.

Not very appropriate.

But after putting them on, I found that these shoes are really interesting.

Because at the tip of his toes, his toes have already formed an outline.

But... surprisingly, it seems to be quite breathable.

After walking back and forth for a few steps, Xu Xin immediately fell in love with this pair of shoes.

Not bad.

As for DIY, it’s just for fun, it’s pure nonsense.

You ask him to do it, but he doesn't even go.

What should I do if I can’t wash off the glue on my hands?

Not troublesome enough.

While thinking about it, he took off his shoes, took a photo, and sent a MMS message to Yang Mi.

"[Picture], I want this!"

After sending it, just as I was walking from the entrance to the sofa and unscrewing the soda, my phone dinged.

"...? What kind of socks are these? They look like shoes."

Xu Xin was happy when he saw the news.

"Hahahaha, you idiot. These are shoes from Balenciaga. I want them. Buy me a pair."

Yang Mi didn't seem to mind that she was called a bumpkin, and replied:

"Balenciaga?"

"right."

"Why do these shoes look like socks? Where did you see them?"

"At home, my father is wearing these on his feet. They looked fresh to me, so I tried them on. Although they are socks, they feel very breathable and comfortable to wear. Buy me a pair."

"Okay. Then I'll ask Jiaojiao to get it for you. Are you at home this afternoon? I'll send it to you directly."

"Yeah. Thank you, wife~"

"It's okay. You called me a bumpkin. Just let me punch you when you come back."

"..."

Oh my god, why are you bitches like this?

Xu Xin kept smashing his mouth and didn't care about anything.

…

Balenciaga store.

After receiving the picture, Zhang Jiao hurried to the mall.

After arriving at the store, I turned on my phone and gave the photo to the shopping guide:

"Hello, where are these shoes?"

The shopping guide took a closer look and was stunned...

"I'm sorry, ma'am, these knitted sneakers from the RUNNER series are new products for spring. They are currently on the market in Europe and America. They are not available in our country yet."

"……ah?"

Zhang Jiao was stunned.

No?

this……

She nodded:

"OK, thanks."

After turning around and walking out, she dialed Yang Mi's number directly. Her voice was still a little confused, and she didn't know whether she had just woken up or been woken up:

"Dudu... hello... ah... it's Jiaojiao. Have you bought it? Have you confirmed the size? Size 44, European size 43 and a half..."

"Sister, I'm in front of Balenciaga right now. The shopping guide said that this pair of RUNNER knitted sneakers are not available in our country, but are only sold in Europe and America. They are new products."

"……ah?"

Yang Mi was also stunned this time.

Not on?

Strange.

Why didn't I get it? Didn't my brother say this was what Uncle Xu was wearing?

"...Okay, I understand. Then I'll tell him to hang up."

Yang Mi hung up the phone, turned around and dialed Xu Xin.

"Hey, that's not right. Jiaojiao went to Balenciaga and said that this kind of knitted sneakers are not available in China yet."

"ah?"

Xu Xin was also confused:

"Not in China? But the old man has already worn it on his feet."

"Could it be that our dad went to Europe to buy it himself?"

"No, he said he bought it in the Balenciaga store."

"...Are you sure you are the Balenciaga in China?"

"Nonsense. If I don't even know whether my biological father has gone abroad or not, I might as well stop calling him Xu Xin. I don't think I can do that."

"Then ask our dad where he got it."

Yang Mi thought quite simply.

If your husband likes it, then buy it for him.

Isn't it natural?

If you want any stars in the sky, I will pluck them all for you.

Xu Xin didn't think much about it and responded:

"good."

Holding up the phone, he walked to the guest bedroom.

As a result, I heard loud snoring through the door.

"He's sleeping. I'll ask later. What are you doing now?"

"I was woken up by Jiaojiao's call. Okay, I won't tell you anymore. Director Zheng called me and I'll see what's going on."

"okay."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Mi rubbed her eyes and dialed Zheng Xiaolong's number directly.

"Hey, Mimi."

"Hey, Director Zheng, I'm sorry, I was on lunch break just now. I saw you calling me, is there something wrong?"

"Yes, the casting for "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is almost over. How about coming back when it's convenient for you? Before we enter the preparatory stage here, let's meet with the management, the director team, and the cast team for a meal. "

"Well, okay."

Yang Mi calculated the time:

"How about this Saturday? I'll go back on Saturday and meet with everyone."

"no problem."

Zheng Xiaolong agreed:

"See you on Saturday."
