I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 490 488. That’s it?

Looking at Xu Xin who was already standing on the stage and holding the microphone in his hand, their eyes looked strange.

At this time, Li Ziwei took the microphone and said to Xu Xin with a smile:

"Thank you Director Xu and Miss Liu Yifei for bringing us the opening ceremony short film."

The two nodded politely in response.

Then, Li Ziwei asked:

"You two, listening to such enthusiastic applause, do you have anything to say to everyone?"

Xu Xin looked at the fairy sister next to him. At the other party's signal, he nodded slightly and raised the microphone.

Looking at the faces in the front row that had been there that morning, he thought for a while and asked with a smile:

"Everyone, is it easy?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Everyone was a little stunned.

So you also know how easy it is to take pictures?

Then I heard Xu Xin say with a smile:

"Actually, this is the idea of ​​​​this film. Because in our film exhibition, there are still mostly young directors, so when it comes to shooting, I chose to use the simplest and most simple method. Except for the needle-sucking part, it is the execution of this film Director Lu Yang strongly requested to add it. For other shooting clips, my core idea is to use the most basic shooting techniques to present such a work to everyone. And my purpose is also very simple..."

Speaking of this, he seemed to find something funny, and said with an expression of shaking his head and laughing dumbly:

"Once upon a time, I actually enjoyed studying the techniques of directors such as Hitchcock, Nolan, and Spielberg. As a newbie, I watched these big guys show off their skills...

But, then I thought about it, it’s like when we play a game, you, a person who has not yet appeared in the novice village, have already gone to study how those max-level bosses in the video beat the world BOSS.

Although their shooting ideas are worthy of reference, they are of little help to you at this stage. And this story called "Special Deal" is a beginner's guide that I give you as a player in a... let's just say I have left the novice village. "

Having said this, he raised a finger:

"The most important thing, basic skills, is very important. Even with the most basic shooting techniques, you can make a qualified film. This is what I want to express in this film for your reference. Thank you."

After speaking, he bowed and looked at the speechless Liu Yifei.

Brother, you have finished speaking.

What else should I say?

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she still raised the microphone.

But as soon as the microphone was raised, the filmmakers in the front rows who had already reacted started to applaud.

"Crash..."

At first it was just them.

But as time went by, one after another understood what Director Xu wanted to express.

The thunderous applause from the entire Zhongchuan auditorium came again.

Gathered into an ocean.

"Hua la la la la la..."

…

After the opening video was played, Xu Xin’s trip to the College Student Film Festival came to an end.

But before leaving, he reiterated his previous promise.

If you need any help, you can contact yourself.

I can't say how much help it can be, but at least I will try my best.

When many people say this, they may have the idea of ​​"it's best not to pay, but to pay less".

But Xu Xin is not.

When he said this, his purpose was "it's best to just give money."

After all, this session has already started, so there is no point in giving some input.

After finishing busy with the film exhibition, that night, he refused Liu Yifei's invitation to have hot pot with him and got on the plane directly.

You can have hot pot anytime, but since he is already busy, he can't let his wife take care of the children and work there.

Carrying a bag of information about "The Tip of the Tongue", he returned to Chikan in Cheng Hu's car at almost 1 o'clock in the morning.

When she came back, Yang Mi was already asleep.

He didn't bother her and went to the guest room to make do with it for the night.

In fact, strictly speaking, his day was quite stressful, from attending a film exhibition to returning home after crossing the north and south of the motherland...

It may not be appropriate to talk about home, but for him, isn't the place where he has his wife and children called home?

However, perhaps due to excessive fatigue, he was no longer sleepy after taking a bath and lying down.

He simply took out his notebook and "notebook" again, looked at these materials, and just leaned on the bedside to continue studying.

Unconsciously, the laptop's battery was exhausted, and his head had been tilted for a long time.

Just fell asleep.

Time passed by slowly.

At about three o'clock in the morning, the door of the master bedroom was pushed open.

Because she was sleepy, Yang Mi came out with one big eye and one small eye.

After turning on the corridor light in a daze, I saw at a glance that the door of the guest room next door had been closed.

Yang Mi arranged for Cheng Hu and Sun Ting to live in residential buildings not far from here, so they would definitely not sleep at home.

Even if I sleep at home, it will definitely be in a small guest room on the first floor.

Therefore, when the door of this guest room is closed, my brother should come back and live in it.

She managed to regain some of her energy.

He walked over and quietly opened the door.

The light in the guest room was not turned off, and Yang Mi immediately saw her lover, whose head was awkwardly tilted on the head of the bed, half lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.

My heart felt at ease first.

Not that she was worried, but it was a natural reaction.

Seeing her brother come back and sleep there, even if he wasn't in the same room as her, she felt at ease.

But I immediately noticed a small, inconspicuous detail.

This room was previously occupied by my father-in-law.

The pillows haven't been changed yet.

My father-in-law likes to sleep on hard buckwheat pillows, but my brother has been sleeping on latex pillows for many years.

If he sleeps on other pillows, if the bed is uncomfortable, he will be particularly prone to stiff neck.

So after so many years, whether it was Zhang Jiao, Sun Ting, or her brother went on a business trip, she would always bring him a latex pillow.

So, after seeing him like that, Yang Mi knew that if she didn't care, he would have a stiff neck tomorrow.

He quickly walked back to the house and took out the pillow that he usually liked to put on his legs when his brother was not around.

You've been sleeping for most of the night, and it's all covered in my fragrance, so just sleep peacefully.

With a hint of playful thoughts, after walking into the room, she first put the laptop on the table, then picked up the materials scattered on the floor and put them aside.

Patted Xu Xin on the shoulder:

"Here, pillow. Lie down and go to sleep. Don't have a stiff neck."

Xu Xin opened his eyes in a daze. His brain didn't even realize what was happening. His instinct already made him no longer rely on the bedside.

After lying on the bed with a comfortable latex pillow on his head, there was no movement as soon as he turned around.

Yang Mi, who was now more awake, skillfully found the computer charger from his briefcase and charged up the laptop without leaving her cell phone behind.

Then unlocked the phone.

Ignoring the hundred-day artistic photo of the two little guys as a screen saver, she directly opened the call history.

The most recent call was made to Cheng Hu at 10:52.

This is her purpose.

Check your phone?

No need.

She just wanted to see what time he would come back.

Contact Cheng Hu at 10:52...the distance from Guangzhou to here...

Around 1 o'clock?

After figuring out what time Xu Xin came back, she glanced at the empty laptop again.

I guess it's 2 o'clock for my brother to go to bed.

2:00……

After finishing all the details, she silently turned off the lights and returned to the master bedroom from the guest room.

After returning to the master bedroom, she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to her father:

"Dad, Xu Xin doesn't go to bed until 2 o'clock, so he will definitely wake up late tomorrow. Don't cook for him tomorrow morning. Let's make something delicious together at noon."

After sending, lock screen.

After leaving all her love in the details that Xu Xin might not be aware of, in the dark, she touched the small towels and quilts on the two children and closed her eyes.

Ha~Hmm.

I have to work tomorrow, so I have to go to bed quickly.

…

Xu Xin didn't know what happened on the first night when he came back, or if he knew it, he would selectively ignore it.

It's not that they don't care, but over the years, it has become a habit and instinct for the two of them to carry each other in their hearts and support each other to move forward.

When he woke up in the morning and looked at his charged mobile phone and computer, he understood everything.

After washing my face and brushing my teeth, I went downstairs and saw my father-in-law and mother-in-law amusing the baby with toys on the crawling mat.

"Baby, look who's coming!"

Xu Xin smiled, opened his hands, and pounced on the two babies like an eagle catching a chicken.

The two children were so happy and "scared" that they burst into laughter.

"MUA~MUA~~~~"

After holding Nuannuan and Yangyang in his arms and kissing each other, he looked at the smiling Yang Dalin and asked:

"Uncle, what's for lunch?"

"I made a beef stew. I learned a dish from Lao He in the past two days, angelica beef soup. I made it once before you came back, and Mimi said it was delicious. It was said to strengthen the spleen and stomach, and you were on a business trip again. A few days, drink more in a while.”

"Hey, okay."

Xu Xin responded with a smile.

It's already early ten o'clock now, so it's really not a good time to have breakfast.

Then let's eat together at noon.

Holding his son and daughter in his arms, he was enjoying family happiness.

But at this moment, Yang Dalin suddenly said:

"Xiao Xu, do you and Mimi need to be more careful about your wedding?"

"Well……"

Xu Xin was stunned for a moment and looked up at his father-in-law.

Just listen to Yang Dalin say:

"It's been a year. If I hadn't been pregnant, I might have gotten married this year. But it's a happy event, so I won't talk about it. But the progress of Mimi's movie is so slow at the moment. I think you are also in the movie. We're here to attend the event... You two kids don't worry about the wedding at all. We're a little anxious~ If we really don't want to be extravagant, we can just have a small one, don't you think so?"

"I see."

Xu Xin nodded quickly:

"Then we will discuss it when she comes back. But indeed, our plan is to hold the wedding next year. But the details of the wedding have not been prepared yet... I have recently taken the time to put it on the agenda. , what do you think?"

"Hey~ That's right."

Yang Dalin looked much more comfortable:

"It's not that I'm afraid that you two will have relationship problems, it's just...after all, you have children now, and it's not good for your relatives to be hanging around like this all the time. And I can't mention it to her, because she gets annoyed when I mention it... "

"Yes, yes, I understand what you mean. Then we will start making preparations when she comes back."

"Okay, it's better to do it as soon as possible. Anyway, it will only take a few days, so that your dad and I will feel at ease."

"no problem."

Xu Xin agreed immediately.

I thought in my heart that my old father-in-law was giving advice.

Taking this matter to heart, she played with her children until noon. Yang Chunling and Su Meng also came back from shopping, and the family started to eat.

After dinner, he became the shopkeeper.

The child didn't want to be coaxed, and continued to tinker with the information on "The Tip of the Tongue" in the tea room.

Waited until Yang Mi came back.

No need to mention dinner.

Yang Mi was tortured by Wang Jiawei for a whole day on the set, and she actually felt a little exhausted.

Yuan Heping has already figured out the moves and routines between her and Liang Chaowei. Originally, due to Liang Chaowei's bone fracture, it was not possible to shoot.

But after seeing Wang Jiawei's struggle in filming the fight scenes, Yang Mi really didn't dare to risk her career as an actress on whether she could finish filming that sequence of scenes.

Although it is a bit exaggerated... the stupid bird flew first.

She asked Yuan Heping to arrange for a martial artist to practice first and get familiar with all the moves.

I have been working in the practice room for a whole day, and I am very tired now.

But after dinner, Xu Xin still pulled her:

"Let's go for a walk."

"Ah? I just came back from the set...I don't want to move anymore."

"Let's go for a walk. We just finished eating. How about not moving?"

"Oh...brother, I really don't want to move today..."

She still wanted to roll around, but unfortunately, her husband had already put the two ignorant hostages in the stroller.

"Hurry up, if you don't obey, your vote will be torn up!"

After speaking, he also made a look.

Yang Mi was stunned.

"..."

But looking at his appearance, I had no choice but to put on slippers and a baseball cap and follow him out reluctantly.

After leaving the door, the two of them walked along the road to the small square not far away.

It's very lively there at night and quite interesting.

Chikan is no better than a big city, there are people everywhere.

In the evening, most people who go out for a walk gather in the small square.

There are snacks, fountains, children playing in groups, and a big screen that often broadcasts some TV series, which is full of life.

After she left the door, she asked:

"What's going on? You have something to do with me? Can't you tell me at home? What can't you say in the bedroom behind closed doors?"

"I really can't say that at home."

Pushing the stroller, Xu Xin explained the situation during the day.

"Well……"

After Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, she suddenly looked dumbfounded:

"Are you being forced to get married?"

"I guess we are worried because we are acting like normal people day by day. After all, there is no wedding. Even if we have a certificate, it still feels a little unfair."

As he spoke, he lowered the mosquito net on the stroller.

The mosquitoes in the south are simply biological weapon-level existences.

The sting is really unbearable on children.

"But I'm just not in a hurry. I've already received the certificate...why are I anxious?"

Yang Mi shook her head helplessly, with a look of regret on her face:

"Besides, it was a mistake, buddy! You said that we didn't know that Wang Jiawei was slow in filming, so we had to sharpen our heads to squeeze in here! How long has it been since the filming started? Two months, right? That's only a few months in total. This shot, I hold on to it every day!

Let me tell you, this play will never be finished in one year. Scenes in the Northeast are more difficult to shoot, so because of his pretentiousness, he wanted to shoot a scene with snow, not to mention making snowflakes appear on his eyelashes, at least he would never use artificial snow. In the middle of winter... I have to freeze my butt! "

Maybe it was really worn out.

She actually started to curse.

But Xu Xin didn't pay attention to how difficult things were for her. A grandmaster was not a one-man show for her, there was always time to take a break.

He just asked:

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I...next year. Didn't we already agree that starting next year..."

"I feel like our dad can't wait any longer. Besides, I counted the days... Look, my sister-in-law has just become pregnant. She is ten months pregnant. She is due in January. This year's Spring Festival is on February 3rd. Maybe the full moon wine It has to coincide with the Chinese New Year. If we add a wedding, time will be too tight."

"So what you mean is..."

"I'm thinking, let's start the preparations now. Isn't it just that? After the wedding photos are taken, the wedding dress is chosen, one in Shenmu, one in Yanjing, that's it. We don't even have to do the banquet. What are the preparations? Our family has rules, so the ceremony must be in the village. The ceremony in Yanjing is relatively simple, just invite some friends to have a meal, it’s not too complicated, how about it? "

"Well……"

Hearing this, Yang Mi thought for a while, frowned and asked:

"It sounds quite simple to say, but when you're really busy, it's impossible to do what you said. It still takes a lot of time and energy. I'm not afraid of other things, but the progress of the movie..."

"Sister, have you forgotten that you are also an investor?"

"..."

Yang Mi didn't answer, she just walked a distance in silence and nodded:

"Okay, let's do as you said. It just so happens that on Saturday, I have to go back to Yanjing to attend the dinner party of the crew of "The Legend of Zhen Huan". I'll take two more days off and find some better wedding companies to arrange the wedding. How about doing all this?"

"Saturday... ok. Then I'll go back with you. Originally I planned to go to Xi'an on Saturday. The talent alliance established by the factory and Yindu is almost completed, and a conference may be held in early July. . I originally planned to set off from here on Sunday afternoon...Then we will go back to Yanjing together. After we have implemented all these things, I will go to Xi'an on Sunday, okay?"

"good."

Although the topic kept diverging in the direction of career, at least the couple reached an agreement on the direction of marriage.

Seeing that he could see the bright light of the large screen in the small square at the end of the road, Xu Xin was a little puzzled:

"Has the casting for "The Legend of Zhen Huan" been completed?"

"Um."

"Who among our people is going up?"

"Baozi and Jiaojiao. Yang Ying was not cast, and Jiaojiao played the role of Huanbi, the maid who accompanies Zhen Huan. Baozi relied on his baby fat to choose the role of Chunguiren. It's okay... Both roles are pretty good. of."

"Oh~~"

Because he has never read the book or script of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Xu Xin has no idea what the roles his wife mentioned are for.

But since Baozi and Jiaojiao have both been chosen, it means it's quite satisfactory.

Just like that, as the two of them walked towards the small square, their attention inevitably came to the big screen.

A costume drama is playing on the big screen.

Because of the distance, I can't see clearly.

But when he walked in and came to the green brick pavement of the small square, Xu Xin was suddenly stunned when he looked at the words in the lower right corner of the big screen:

"Eh? "Dream of Red Mansions"?"

Yang Mi, who was pushing the cart and wanted to buy some toys for the child, suddenly raised her head after hearing this.

On the big screen, several actors who looked more or less nondescript compared to the women in normal costume dramas were making fun of a girl wearing a yellow dress.

Because the sound on the big screen was poor and the small square was very noisy, Xu Xin couldn't hear the real sounds in the TV series.

Fortunately, the video has subtitles.

Following his gaze, he saw a subtitle passing by:

"Although Daiyu doesn't know her, she once heard her mother say that Jia Lian, son of uncle Jia She, married aunt Wang's niece. She was raised as a boy since she was a child. Her scientific name is Wang Xifeng..."

When this subtitle appeared, the scene switched back and forth between the gorgeous actress and the girl in yellow clothes.

Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

That girl...is Lin Daiyu?

Unconsciously, he turned his head and glanced at his wife, who was also looking at the big screen...

He looked at her pretty face.

I looked at Lin Daiyu on the big screen again...

Fine.

Let’s just say they are actors with two flavors and different styles.

only……

With such good looks, can she really play the role of Daiyu who buries flowers?

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Yang Mi chuckle:

"Ha~"

The voice is playful and the tone is relaxed.

There's just something weird in his eyes.

As if to say:

"That's it?"

Sorry, it's a little late. As for the reason, it was mainly because there was a short film that was supposed to be linked to the film festival. After repeated consideration, I deleted the plot.

The name of the short film is "Veteran". When I was working on the plot, I thought it was very suitable. As long as the magic modifications were made appropriately, I could use it.

But after writing this tonight, I have been struggling because the film is a bit sensitive. I originally wrote the background story, but as I wrote it, I felt more and more guilty, so I deleted two thousand words and discarded that plot, so I posted it a little later.
