I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 492 490. That ridiculous word question

After thinking about the matter and solving it, Xu Xin put it behind him again.

The two were drinking tea and chatting. They were husband and wife, but the atmosphere at this moment was more like friends.

In that sometimes relaxing, sometimes sweet atmosphere, Sun Ting opened the door at an inappropriate time:

"Brother Xu, sister, Director Zheng is here."

"ah?"

Yang Mi was a little surprised:

"So early?"

"Yes, we're already in the room."

Seeing this, the two of them didn't hesitate and went directly to the reserved box.

Today is a business banquet, and there are many people here. Xu Xin specially asked for a private room.

It's the kind where the partition door in the middle can be opened.

After the two of them ran quickly to the largest box, they saw Zheng Xiaolong wearing a baseball cap, standing in front of a splash-ink landscape painting and turning his head.

"Director Zheng."

Yang Mi smiled:

"You came too early. We both said you had to come at least 6 o'clock. It's just after 5 o'clock..."

"I'm afraid there will be a traffic jam."

Zheng Xiaolong smiled and explained:

"And no matter where I go, I always come early. I don't like people waiting for me, and I've gotten used to it over the years."

While he was speaking, Xu Xin stepped forward:

"Hello, Director Zheng, my name is Xu Xin. You can just call me Xiao Xu."

"Haha~ You have to call me Director Xu."

Zheng Xiaolong smiled and held hands with him:

"Calling Xiao Xu is too casual."

"You're too kind."

The two let go of their hands, and Xu Xin took out the cigarette in his pocket and started to give way.

He didn't think about whether the other party was deliberately keeping a distance, or whether they really respected each other as directors.

No need to delve into it.

After the cigarette was lit, Yang Mi pointed to the sofas next to her:

"Director Zheng, sit down quickly...what's going on? Tingting, go make a pot of tea first."

With that said, after all three people found their respective positions, Zheng Xiaolong asked curiously:

"Has Director Xu's "The Hawthorn Tree" been filmed?"

"Yes, it's been half a month since I finished shooting. I'm currently editing~"

"When is it going to be released?"

"this……"

Xu Xin shook his head slightly:

"It's hard to say, although there are no special effects in the post-production of this drama, which can save a lot of trouble. But the difficulty lies in editing. Under normal circumstances, the rough cut can be released in about a week... But my drama is in the countryside. The scenes in the city are actually very mature storylines, so the editing needs to be more precise."

Hearing this, Zheng Xiaolong nodded:

"The level of editors at Xiying Studio is still very high. I worked with Chen Daliang, the editor of "Black Cannon Incident", and it was quite a pleasure."

"My editor this time is Zhu Huailiang from last time on "The Wind"."

Zhu Huailiang...

Zheng Xiaolong thought for a while and shook his head slightly:

"The name is a bit unfamiliar, but I watched "The Wind" and the compactness of the editing was maintained very well."

Speaking of this, he showed a somewhat sighing look:

"Young people are scary. In these two films, Director Xu has achieved achievements that many directors cannot even achieve in their lifetime. Sometimes I really feel like I'm too old..."

"Haha, you are not old."

Xu Xin does not deny his achievements.

If you get it, you get it, and there's nothing to be ashamed of.

He said that one of him and I are a TV series director, and the other is a movie director. We are on different paths, so there is no need to be modest.

To put it bluntly, his achievements in TV dramas are enough to kill him ten times in an instant.

Then, Zheng Xiaolong took the initiative to chat about "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

The conversation was all about serving the Tao.

The 70 million investment in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is actually not particularly explosive, but it is definitely a lot.

And most of them hit the Fuhua Dao.

The two of them talked about location selection from Fu Huadao, and then from location selection to the storyline of the entire script... However, after hearing that Xu Xin had not read the script, Zheng Xiaolong did not talk much about the content of the script, but said It formed the core of the entire script.

When he first came into contact with Yang Mi, he told Yang Mi that this time he wanted to shoot a world... described from a critical perspective.

I want those boys and girls whose worldview is immature, especially those in adolescence, to see if they can survive three episodes in that treacherous harem with their IQs.

So that these children who fantasize about the plots of online novels every day can wake up.

Especially when he once again mentioned the news he watched.

It's about that girl taking the initiative to commit suicide in order to travel through time.

Not a bad starting point.

It is true that with the popularity of the Internet, there are more and more news about immature children doing something outrageous.

In the past, the blame could be placed on games, but with the Internet cafe fire that shocked the country in Yanjing City in 2002, and the real-name system for Internet access began to dominate the country, it is true that online games are regarded by many people as It's a cancer, but at least in front of this ZC, no matter what the blame is, if you want to push it to online games, you really have to use your brain.

And until now, Xu Xin couldn't figure out how a normal person could think that such a ridiculous thing as "time travel" really existed in this world...

It’s also quite outrageous.

…

The two directors were chatting, but Yang Mi actually couldn't get in the conversation.

Because the two of them talked about things that would only be discussed at the director level.

Such as the core of certain stories, or the content of some shooting techniques.

She understood, but that was all.

Right now, she has no interest in directing.

So, while Xu Xin and Zheng Xiaolong were chatting over a cigarette and a cup of tea, she turned her phone to silent and played with it.

About twenty minutes later, Zhang Jiao and Baozi walked into the room at the same time.

Xu Xin hadn't seen Zhao Liying for a long time. After seeing her, he couldn't help but look her up and down.

Not to mention...

This girl seems to have grown up a bit.

Although his appearance didn't change much, he felt that his body gradually gained a smell.

Pretty good.

The arrival of the two of them was like the beginning. As the time approached 6 o'clock, people who had planned to have a banquet at 6:30 also rushed over one after another.

Chen Jianbin plays the emperor, Cai Shaofen plays the queen, etc.

Yang Mi knew all these people and knew what role they played, but Xu Xin was a little confused.

The topic naturally began to change, from a chat between the two directors to a room full of people chattering.

As an investor and host, Yang Mi will naturally not let the atmosphere cool down.

What's more, Cai Shaofan and Zhang Jin are still husband and wife.

The two of them had a natural affinity.

She didn't know it until she started chatting, but when she started chatting, Yang Mi realized...it turned out that Cai Shaofen had just come from Chikan.

She also secretly went to see her husband, but did not show up on the set.

There were so many people that the room soon became lively.

Although everyone will be on the same crew in the future, this kind of occasion also requires communication.

Zheng Xiaolong informed everyone that today is a dinner party for the crew. Managers and assistants, Sun Ting had also arranged for them to move to another room early.

So at this time, the actors need to connect emotionally.

Director Zheng needs to be contacted, but more of them are Yang Mi and Xu Xin.

Especially Xu Xin, many people came to say hello and even exchange a few words.

So much so that for a while, it seemed a bit overwhelming.

But Xu Xin had nothing to do. He couldn't let people come to him and face him with a bad face and an expression that said he was distant from others, right?

Not realistic.

As a result, he was surrounded by several people.

That's really Director Xu and Director Xu. We are in charge of serving tea and water.

Zheng Xiaolong didn't mind either. Instead, he laughed and chatted with Chen Jianbin about how to play the role of emperor well.

Yang Mi was sitting in front of the sofa nearby, chatting with her cell phone, not knowing who she was chatting with.

When the time came to early 6 o'clock, the actors were basically all there.

There are still a few missing members of Zheng Xiaolong's crew, and Liang Binning has not arrived yet.

However, we called in advance and caught up with the traffic jam, so the distance was already very close.

When there were more people, Xu Xin never lit a cigarette.

There are mostly girls, so smoking in this kind of space... seems a bit tasteless. The meal hasn't started yet, and everyone is in a relatively concentrated space.

Maybe it will be better when we wait to be seated in batches. After all, the space is larger.

But now that he was addicted to smoking, he could only use the excuse of going to the bathroom to get out, and walked out of the house with the cigarette case.

As soon as he left, the tasks of the actors who came to say hello and chat from time to time came to an end. Today's task is just to make Director Xu remember him, don't go too far.

Yang Mi finally ended her chat with Liu Zhishi.

"The Strange Man Iljimae" has also been completed.

She will probably be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Originally I heard that Yang Mi had returned to Yanjing, and Liu Zhishi wanted to make an appointment, but who knew that Damimi would have to return to the set tomorrow.

Shishi is unhappy.

Shishi misses Mimi.

Mimi coaxes poetry.

I made a few naughty jokes by the way...

She didn't know what kind of virtue Liu Zhishi was, but she was very happy about it.

In Xu Xin's eyes, this was the reason why that prodigal woman kept saying "hey hey hey" to her mobile phone.

And just after Xu Xin left for about a minute, the door to the room was pushed open.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late. Oops... I just happened to encounter a scratch, which blocked the road for a long time..."

The furious Liang Bingning apologized and walked in.

Hearing this voice, Yang Mi subconsciously looked towards the door.

Although Liang Binning cannot be said to have dressed up specially, as a public figure, she obviously needs to be more careful in her private clothes.

The so-called artist fashion is accumulated bit by bit in these small details.

It's the same reason that many people don't like to watch supermodel catwalks, but they really like to watch private photos of some artists.

Today, Liang Bingning wears a single ponytail and a white silk shirt on her upper body.

She is white herself, so when she wears this white silk shirt, people will unconsciously have a sense of déjà vu: "This woman is silky from head to sole."

The pants are one piece... just by looking at the black, red, and apricot plaid, you can tell they are from Burberry.

The silk shirt was tucked into the jodhpurs, but part of it was deliberately exposed, hanging down to the lower abdomen.

The whole person looks like a very alternative British fashion style.

When Yang Mi saw these clothes and pants, she immediately fell in love with this unisex style.

She knew that Mu Xiaoguang wanted to create a "master" character for Sister Bingbing.

Moreover, just a few days ago, she sent herself several modeling pictures. Under the black and white negatives, there were photos of people with slicked back hair, wearing suits and ties, looking very heroic.

It was an advertisement she shot for the Nokia N9, which was released in November this year.

The theme is called: Not Following.

Tsk.

Neutral style looks good.

He looks like a slugger at first glance!

It seems that I was still too young to wear my brother's slim-fitting suit that day and play "Mafia Boss' Unspoken Rules and Little Brother"... huh?

Suddenly, her eyes fell on the other person's shoes.

It's natural. I looked at the upper body, then the lower body, and then I looked at the shoes.

Learn about overall matching.

After all, shoes are also a very important part.

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

When she saw the pair of shoes that looked like socks, a trace of instinctive doubt flashed across her pupils.

The first reaction of the brain: These shoes look familiar.

Second reaction: Isn’t this the kind of shoe from Balenciaga?

After both reactions appeared, a third reaction immediately appeared in her mind:

"When did she go to Europe?"

Although these three reactions are in order, they actually almost appeared together.

After emerging, her mind suddenly felt empty and her eyes were dull.

These three thoughts were like strong winds, instantly blowing away all the random thoughts in her heart, leaving a blank.

But... it's so immortal. In this sunny mood, a... very small seed that had been planted a long time ago suddenly broke through the soil and emerged. The head of the bud.

My father-in-law's shoes...

Didn't it come from her?

This idea is simply unreasonable, and even Yang Mi herself didn't realize what the situation was, and it suddenly appeared.

When her mind realized this thought, her goosebumps once again escaped the shackles of reason and quickly swelled up in every inch of her body within a thousandth of a second.

Don't...don't?

Isn't it?

It seemed absurd to her that such an idea should be born in her mind.

But after the absurdity...

What happened that afternoon at Chang'an Club came to mind again.

This matter... logically speaking, it's just speculation.

It's even possible that Aunt Zhao's words were over-interpreted by her brother.

But……

Tell yourself intuitively...

Something is wrong, very wrong.

Or, to put it another way, let’s give an example...

Known conditions: The two have a past, the father-in-law has a pair of Balenciaga shoes that can only be bought in Europe, and Liang Binning also has a pair of shoes.

Question: Where did the shoes on my father-in-law’s feet come from?

After this application question appeared in Yang Mi's mind, her mind couldn't move.

Frankly speaking, this question is problematic.

Because one of the necessary conditions for application questions is completeness.

The person who asked the question must ensure that the value of the unknown quantity can be obtained from the conditions and that these conditions are met.

In this word question, there is still a key link missing, that is, whether the two people have any contact in private.

etc……

This condition...

"Sister, Jiaojiao called and said... I saw Sister Bingbing getting off Uncle Xu's car and going to our company for an audition."

The conditions are met.

"!!!"

For a moment, Yang Mi felt that she had solved the problem.

She didn't dare to say that she knew 100% of her father-in-law's clothing quality, but it was not an exaggeration to say that she knew 99% of him.

Uncle Xu didn't care about dressing at all.

Forget about looking for an agent to purchase.

His purpose in buying things is one thing: expensive.

Expensive is good.

But there is something missing from my shopping habit. I don’t even bother to go to the second floor of a shopping mall.

It's on the first floor. You can change into whatever suit you like, and if you think it suits you, pick it up and leave.

Don't even ask about the price.

As for you asking him to go abroad specifically to buy a pair of shoes... that's simply impossible!

Although there are other possibilities, such as this pair of shoes was given by someone else, or another girl bought it specially for him...

But now Liang Binning is wearing the shoes under her feet...

How do you expect me to believe that there is no connection between the two?

After brainstorming until this point, she felt that she had guessed the correct answer based on the known conditions.

But the problem is... I can't write this question.

It's like you encounter a math problem that you have done before. You only remember that the final answer to this problem is 0, but you forget all the ideas and steps to solve the problem.

For a big question worth 15 points, you didn't write down the steps or the equation, and just gave an answer of "X=0". The marking teacher is really weird if he can give you points!

Thinking of this, her lips trembled unconsciously.

It's over, brothers.

The group hasn't fought yet, but my house has been stolen! !

A ridiculous feeling of being robbed arises spontaneously.

Then, she unconsciously thought...if her father-in-law really had a story with her...let's not talk about their past.

Just ask...

What should I call her from now on?

Yang Mi's whole scalp began to feel numb. Looking at Liang Binning chatting and laughing there, she didn't even dare to glance at her shoes.

At this time, Liang Binning, who had already finished greeting Director Zheng, looked at Yang Mi with a smile:

"What are you thinking about? Your eyes are straight."

"...Huh? Uh...no...it's okay."

Yang Mi instinctively paused and stood up from the sofa:

"It's fine."

"...?"

Liang Binning was a little puzzled:

"What's wrong with you? You look restless."

At this time, Yang Mi, who forcibly gathered her mind, quickly shook her head:

"I'm really fine."

"……All right."

Liang Binning glanced at her strangely, then looked around:

"Eh? Where is Xu Xin?"

Yang Mixin said you still dare to mention him! ?

If my brother sees the shoes under your feet, he will explode in an instant...! !

Suddenly, she was stunned.

The idea that had just sprouted in my heart felt a wind coming from heaven.

"I must not let my brother see these shoes!"

Absolutely not!

Warning from heaven, a catastrophe from heaven!

If this was seen, this family might be in ruins!

As a result, her mind spun rapidly, and the words coming out of her mouth even exceeded her brain's reaction speed.

As the "master", she said to Zheng Xiaolong:

"Director Zheng, people are almost here. Let's take a seat first, shall we?"

"Well……"

Zheng Xiaolong, who had been discussing the shooting with director of photography Zhang Yuanji, subconsciously looked at the clock on the wall.

The time is indeed almost up.

"Okay. Then everyone, please sit down. Come on, Mimi, you take the main seat."

If it were in the past, Yang Mi would definitely have to shirk.

But at this moment, she couldn't hold anything else in her mind, so she took advantage of the situation and directly took Liang Binning's arm:

"Bingbing...sister!"

She suppressed the absurdity and awkwardness in her heart:

"Let's go, let's be next to each other!"

After speaking, Liang Bingning took her arm and walked into the innermost part of the big round table without waiting for a reply.

Hurry, hurry up...

If you wait any longer, my brother will come back later, but it will be too late!
