I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 517 515. Red imitation

When Xu Xin woke up, it was already close to 7 p.m.

The sequelae caused by the hangover made him look a little depressed.

Moreover, he couldn't metabolize all the alcohol in the past few hours. When he got up, he went straight to the bathroom and vomited a big puddle. This was considered to be a relief.

When he came out, he saw Su Meng and Assistant Shen waiting for him at the door of the men's room.

"Brother Xu, you're awake."

"Um."

Xu Xin responded and greeted Assistant Shen with a smile:

"Brother Shen. Where is Director Zhang?"

"Still waiting for you in the office."

Hearing this, Xu Xin nodded and turned to look at Su Meng:

"Have your luggage been packed?"

"It's already packed, it's in the car."

"Okay, let's book a flight. We'll leave soon. We'll try to get home before your sister goes to bed."

"OK."

Su Meng immediately took out the phone, while Xu Xin walked to the second floor.

"Brother Shen."

"Um?"

"We haven't contacted each other for a long time, and I still miss you. I may have to call you if I have something to do during this period to express my feelings."

What he said in a joking tone made Assistant Shen pause.

Full of doubts.

I don’t understand Director Xu’s motives.

However, he did not refuse, but smiled and nodded:

"Haha, that's great."

"Ha~... By the way, where is Sister Pang?"

"Also on the second floor."

"That's it... then Brother Shen won't see me off for a while, let Sister Pang see me off. Just take good care of the old man."

"Um...ok."

Assistant Shen nodded in agreement.

When the two of them arrived on the second floor, besides Zhang Yimou, there were actually four or five people in the office.

They are all members of the Jinling cast.

But I didn’t see Zhang Weiping.

That'll do.

Zhang Yimou heard the footsteps, turned around and found that it was Xu Xin, and said angrily:

"Are you awake? Are you here to study?"

"...Huh? What?"

Xu Xin looked confused.

Like he had no idea what he was talking about.

Zhang Yimou did not pursue any further questions and just said:

"We were just talking about movies..."

"No, I'm leaving now. I'm dreaming about the two little guys. It's so scary."

Xu Xin had no intention of "being taught with an open mind" as he did in the afternoon.

As if he had never said anything about "I want to study", he shook his head and refused:

"I just came to say hello to you. Mengmeng is booking a flight. I'm leaving right now... Sister Pang, can you give me a ride?"

"Let Xiao Shen send you off..."

As soon as Zhang Yimou finished speaking, Xu Xin shook his head again:

"No, Brother Shen should stay and take care of you. I'll just take Sister Pang's car and go."

"..."

Pang Liwei looked at Assistant Shen subconsciously.

But when he saw the other party nodding slightly, he seemed to realize something and stood up:

"Okay, then I'll give Xiao Xu a ride."

"Then...Okay. Then go ahead and go back early. Isn't it a long way from Guangzhou to Chikan?"

Hearing Zhang Yimou's words, Xu Xin responded with a smile:

"Well. Then...I'm leaving?"

"Let's go."

"Director Zhao, Director Chen, Director Li... everyone, then I won't invite you to dinner, haha~"

Several people just understood the reason and nodded with a smile.

"Well...I'm leaving then. Please pay attention to your health. Especially your stomach. Eat on time and on schedule..."

"knew."

Zhang Yimou waved his hand.

My heart says I can’t take care of myself yet?

Watch Xu Xin and Pang Liwei leave together.

When there was no sound in the corridor outside, Zhao Xiaoding lit a cigarette with a smile:

"Tsk, tsk, Xiao Xu still cares about people."

"Who says it isn't?"

"Haha, Xiao Xu is very attentive."

Amidst the discussion among a group of people, Zhang Yimou also had a smile on his face.

…

"Xiao Xu..."

"Um?"

"I heard Yimou say...you guys will...at noon..."

"Well, I persuaded Director Zhang to agree to add product placement."

Guessing what Pang Liwei wanted to say, Xu Xin said it bluntly.

Then the conversation changed:

"Sister Pang, who do you trust more between me and Zhang Weiping?"

"you."

Pang Liwei gave the answer without hesitation.

"It must be you."

"Ha ha."

Xu Xin was happy.

"That's fine... I have some arrangements for you, just don't worry."

"But……"

Hearing this, Pang Liwei not only did not feel relieved, but after hesitating for a moment, she continued:

"Xiao Xu, although I don't know what you are thinking, I know that you are seeking good things. But... I can only tell you that Zhang Weiping is different from others. Others just give up when they see good things, but he He likes to push his limits. Do you understand? He promises you a good deal now, but as long as things are done...he will still..."

"Will you persuade the old man to have sex?"

"right."

Pang Liwei nodded:

"You don't know him! But we have worked together for so many years, and I know him too well..."

"Sister Pang."

After slightly interrupting Pang Liwei's words, Xu Xin said with a smile:

"It's better this way."

"..."

Pang Liwei was speechless for a moment.

But Xu Xin asked again similar words to the previous question.

Same tone, same intonation.

"Sister Pang, do you believe me?"

"I……"

Pang Liwei hesitated for two seconds and nodded:

"letter."

"Just believe me. I won't let Brother Shen send me off today just because of this sentence. Sister Pang, since you believe me, then call me often if you have nothing to do... After all, I can't be here every day and stay with the old man. around."

"you mean……"

"Nothing interesting."

Xu Xin shook his head, his eyes calm:

"I just want to know more about our team... After all, I am also a general manager. The more I know about what is happening up and down, and the sooner I can handle it, the more appropriate it will be. Are you right?"

"..."

Vaguely, Pang Liwei seemed to understand something.

But more doubts arose.

But... she understood the essence of Xu Xin's words.

"Okay. I'm just afraid of disturbing you..."

"Haha, don't bother me. You can call at any time, I will be here at any time, don't worry. Then you and Brother Shen will cooperate and try not to miss any news."

"...Okay, I understand."

"Well, can I have a cigarette?"

"Smoke."

Snap.

The windows were half-open and smoke filled the air.

In the evening breeze of Jinling City, Xu Xin leaned on his seat, put his cigarette outside and flicked the ashes.

Unfortunately, this cigarette has just been smoked and not much ash has fallen.

There are only scattered white patches.

But.

Sooner or later it will be exposed to dark ashes, thrown onto the road outside, and crushed and squashed by countless rolling traffic.

The glass of the instigator was half-open, and only a few people saw his face.

No one would know that he threw the cigarette butts.

…

The entire journey was silent.

Near 12 o'clock, he finally arrived at Chikan.

Today is the last day of June.

When he walked into the house, it was just past 12 o'clock.

Rounding it all off, he was on a business trip for a month.

Do you think the young woman can get around him?

It would be nice to let you into the house. Do you still want to sleep together?

There are no doors.

The windows are locked for you.

After twisting the door of the master bedroom twice, he looked embarrassed when he found that it didn't work.

have to.

Sleep in the guest bedroom.

Go back to the guest bedroom, wash your face and brush your teeth.

As soon as the results came out, I found that the young woman was hid in her bed.

There was a big living person in the room!

"..."

Xu Xin looked at her carelessly.

Just as she was about to speak, the young woman's leg suddenly stretched out from under the quilt...

"hiss!!"

Xu Xin took a breath.

White.

The soles of the feet have pink pad patterns...

"Hehe~ Does it look good?"

Hearing these words that seemed to stir up the soul, before Xu Xin could answer, Yang Mi was suddenly startled...

Pointing towards him, he covered his mouth and laughed:

"Hehe~"

"..."

Xu Xin lowered his head subconsciously.

After looking at it, he straightened his back proudly:

"Why don't you kneel down quickly!"

Then what……

The young woman, whose eyes were narrowed like a fox's, nodded mischievously, covered her mouth with one hand and smiled, and suddenly opened the quilt with one hand.

Then Xu Xin saw a pair of pants that looked exactly like the old lady's...

That was something she would only wear when visiting relatives.

The old grandma matches this pink pad with white silk...

That weird feeling instantly made Xu Xin nauseous...

Dog bitches...

He was about to curse when suddenly:

"Puff puff puff puff... puff puff puff puff..."

Perhaps because she was afraid of making too much noise, she had always covered her mouth in joy.

The laughter now was many times louder than before, and the air spurted out along the gaps between the fingers, making a sound like farting.

Wearing granny pants, she smiled and pointed at Xu Xin...

"Puff puff puff puff..."

"..."

Xu Xin looked down again.

Well, young man, you are also very realistic.

It only takes a few seconds to go from holding one's head high to being crestfallen...

As expected of me.

The response is really fast.

Shaking his head helplessly, he threw the towel aside and got directly into the bed.

Yang Mi skillfully moved into his arms, and then writhed in the bed.

The white silk with the pink pad pattern turned into a wrinkled ball and was thrown into Xu Xin's face.

Then she stopped moving.

Xu Xin explored his hand with a strange expression on his face:

"Just one?"

"The effect of the show is just one pair. I don't think it's a hindrance if I wear two. Smell it, does it smell good?"

"Bah, it stinks."

"Nonsense, how can the little fairy's socks be smelly!"

"A little fairy wearing grandma's bloomers, right?"

"Goose, Goose, Goose, Goose……"

She laughed again:

"Who told you not to come back early! You were fine when you came back yesterday, but you just came here today."

"Is it your fault?"

Although he knew there was nothing he could do, Xu Xin still hugged her tightly, smelled the fragrance on her neck and asked:

"Then why did you lock the door?"

"The temperature here has been high these past two days. The child has been a little uncomfortable and hasn't slept well. I'm afraid that if you come back and make too much noise, I'll wake you up."

Her ears felt a little itchy when her husband blew her, so she shrank her neck and said:

"Let's leave on the 2nd, and then go back to Yanjing directly after finishing our work on the 3rd, right?"

"...No more filming?"

"My role is over for the time being. Tony Leung's hand has not healed yet, so the fighting scene cannot be filmed. Then in the past few months, the actors on the crew have other films to shoot. Tony Leung is going to film "The Magician", and A-list The scenes of Tian and I are all in the Northeast.

So I have nothing to do in the past few months. I can just wait until it snows in the Northeast. Just... I guess late July? "Wulin Gaiden" is also about to be released, I have to be busy with that. After finishing my busy work, I went directly to the Northeast. This is the end of the journey for now. "

"Well, okay. It's really too hot here... I'm not used to staying here."

"Yeah. How's it going with Director Zhang?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately felt her lover's body stiffen.

"I... tell you something."

Xu Xin's tone was a little hesitant.

Sensing something was wrong with him, Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around and hugged his waist, pressing her whole body against her lover's chest.

"Cheating?"

"...???"

Xu Xin couldn’t laugh or cry:

"Hello."

Seeing this, Yang Mi felt at ease:

"Then tell me, no matter what you did, I will forgive you."

"After I made that phone call to Sister Bingbing last night, I suddenly had a goal in my mind."

"What?"

"What we were talking about was..."

He roughly recounted the content of his conversation with Liang Binning, and then said:

"Also, I learned something from Director Zhao today. There is a pawnshop in these advertising contracts. The contract for the old man said 200,000, but in fact... it was 4.5 million. This is Director Zhao himself He told me. But there is only 200,000 written in black and white... So what I can confirm is that Zhang Weiping must be evading taxes."

"You want to help Director Zhang free himself from him and then punish him?"

After Yang Mi finished speaking, she shook her head.

Because she said it in her lover's arms, her voice seemed a little muffled:

"It's inappropriate, at least not now. You haven't finished the household registration for your child, so don't touch him. Don't be impatient. Don't overestimate this person's bottom line. After all, Director Zhang may just be a person in his eyes. A money-making tool, he will not show any affection when the time comes..."

"I know. That's not what I'm talking about."

"what is that?"

"I have obtained the contract that he showed to the old man. These contracts are included in the total investment of the "Jinling" crew. The old man has the right to know because the crew has to use these to file taxes. Sister Pang can get them then. The original document and the tax stamp... If I want to cure her, after the advertisement comes in, I can treat her whenever I want with the original document and tax stamp. But..."

Speaking of this, Xu Xin paused for a moment before continuing:

"I want more."

"...?"

This time, Yang Mi was finally willing to get out of his arms.

After breaking away from her husband's arms, she looked doubtfully at the face that looked to her the most handsome in the world...

"What do you mean more?"

But Xu Xin didn't answer directly, but just asked an...incomprehensible question:

"You said... in the eyes of the sun, if the moon is too bright, is it also guilty?"

"...?"

"Sister Bingbing also tried to persuade me, saying that... being a hero may not necessarily end well. And... I thought about it, and this is actually the risk of this matter. If I don't just expose it, , and also brought a gust of wind... blowing throughout the entire circle... What do you think the result will be?"

After saying that, without waiting for Yang Mi to answer, he stopped lying on his side.

Putting his hands behind his head, he looked at the ceiling dimmed by the lamp, his eyes extremely bright:

"But I suddenly want to end this era."

"..."

"Mr. Tian told me that the second wave of coal bosses is coming. They may make this circle more utilitarian and... profit-seeking. What the factory can do is to serve those who want fame and fortune when everyone is pursuing it. He who still has a dream in his heart builds a lighthouse.”

"..."

"He said that Tianchao Film went to the world from Xi Film Studio. Anyone can be profit-seeking, but our studio can't... I think to put it more bluntly, he felt that it was a disgrace to the "ancestors"."

"..."

"I like this view very much, so I will unswervingly do whatever it takes to light the flame on this lighthouse. After all... without the lighthouse, those ships would be lost on the sea. That would be a terrible thing. matter."

"..."

"But the factory is only part of the path I want to take... I am going to graduate school, and then I want to take the Ph.D. exam. After taking the Ph.D. exam, I still want to stay in school, want to be a teacher, and I want to use school as a springboard to move up. On the one hand It’s so that our family can become a family, and on the one hand, it also wants to transform the environment into a more comfortable place for me to stay.”

"..."

"I want to learn from Yu Shaobao, but I am afraid that I will end up like Yu Shaobao. But if I find out about this and don't do it... I feel that I am not qualified to do it. What do you think? I want to see... If nothing else, ten years, ten years from now. 2020. At that time... we, the post-80s generation, will all be in their fourth year..."

"..."

"Actors born in the 1990s are also pursuing their careers, and children born in the 2000s are beginning to appear on the big screen. If they grow up in a circle full of money, wealth, and utilitarianism...actors do not pursue acting skills, and directors do not pursue acting skills. Instead, the story revolves around who gets paid more, who has the bigger role, who earns more... and who has more fans... What a terrible thing it is to start chasing?"

"..."

"You know, this time I was chatting with Wheels, and I asked him, what is your favorite song in the past few years?... I thought he would say "Nocturne", "In the Name of the Father" or something like that. These masterpieces. But guess what he told me? He told me a song...at least I haven't heard much of it, called "Red Imitation"."

Hearing this, Yang Mi hummed subconsciously:

"La la la la la~..."

That was the prelude to "Red Imitation."

Incredibly nice intro.

Xu Xin nodded:

"Yes, that's the song. Because I haven't heard it before, the four of us were drinking tea, and he sat in front of the piano and played it to me..."

"……piano?"

Yang Mi was stunned.

"Uh... yes, I put a Steinway in Xu Miao's tea room... No, it's not me, it's Lao Lang. Lao Lang put a Steinway in our brother's tea room without permission! It's so big, it takes up a lot of space! Please talk to him carefully next time!"

Seeing something wrong with Yang Mi's eyes, he quickly changed his tune.

"..."

Yang Mi looked dumbfounded.

"Okay...you continue."

"Well, he writes a lot of songs. Sometimes he doesn't even remember what songs he has written. The most exaggerated thing is that he doesn't know what to say... he remembers all his songs... I Bah! What are you bragging about? His stupid brain..."

"Oh, oh, ok, come on, let's get down to business. Don't keep talking about him without mentioning him."

"Hmm...Okay. Anyway, he just played and sang while playing. After singing about half of the song, he told me: Hey, A Xin, this is my favorite verse, listen carefully~...and then roughly the lyrics The meaning is: there is only one sun in the universe, why does it have so many shadows similar to it?"

"I often wonder why there is only one sun in the universe. Why are there so many shadows of mine that look so similar to...this paragraph?"

"…Niubi."

Hearing her hum this song, Xu Xin couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.

"hey-hey……"

Yang Mi looked proud as Xu Xin continued:

"Then he started singing something... Friends who like to imitate..."

"Worship is a good thing~ Appreciation is a virtue~ But friends who are walking behind~ I'm worried~ Others won't see you~... I really like his song, so I can sing it. And let me tell you, This part is actually pretty good. This is what he sang in the next part of the song~ahem..."

At around 12 o'clock, Yang Mi started singing and dancing rap.

"I'm telling you, it's better to be yourself than to follow too closely. The biggest enemy is the inner self~"

"I can't retreat~"

"Because it's not a green leaf~"

"If it's just for decoration~"

"Wish to be a bright and bright moon!"

"The grass is waiting for the wind to blow~"

"No need to rely on your back~"

"If it will be very dark~"

"I will ask Chang'e to fly to the moon~..."

After a section of "Red Imitation" was sung by Yang Mi, a trainee who had been practicing for three and a half years, Xu Xin nodded.

"Yes, it's this song... Wheel told me that this is the work he is most satisfied with in recent years... Big Lao Wang also said that the era of the Four Heavenly Kings was ended by Ren Xianqi and his group. And what ended them was the wheel. Although the wheel doesn’t admit it, our brothers all think so. Wang Lihong, Tao Zhe and the like... In front of the wheel, they can only be regarded as green leaves. "

"I think so."

Yang Mi nodded and allowed her husband to divert the topic.

Anyway, he will definitely be able to say what he wants to express clearly in the end.

"If you think about it, he is so famous, but what he wants is to make the Chinese music scene more and more diverse. And seeing so many people imitating him, he wrote a song to tell everyone: Don't always imitate me, come out with your own style. Otherwise, if you walk behind me, I'm afraid others won't be able to see you... He is very good, even the best musician of this era, right?"

"Um."

"Where's Lao Lang? Top three in the piano world. The top and top artist, right?"

"Um."

"Where's the Big Pharaoh?"

"He... uh..."

Yang Mi thought for a while and asked tentatively:

"How much money?"

"That's right. There's just a lot of money. Even if it's not his yet, it will be his sooner or later, right?"

"Um."

"I'm friends with three of them... It's an exaggeration to say number one, let's just say top three. People who are friends with three people who are top three in each class can't be too bad, right? Of course, I'm not saying that I'm very good. Bad... but after all, there are so many domestic directors waiting for me to surpass them. From box office to trophies... they are all waiting for me, right? Sigh..."

Looking at the ceiling, Xu Xin murmured:

"Either you don't do it, you do it, and you do your best. But if I am good enough for myself... is it useful? Even if I am number one in the country, what's the use? How much of an example can I set? Keep pushing the limit Pull it up, pull it up, pull it up... To put it more exaggeratedly, what if you pull it too high and others feel despair?"

"..."

"If someone sets an example, then someone must answer the call and learn from the advanced ones. But doing this... is too passive. Instead of doing this, I might as well be a lower limit... There must be people who have gone before to plant the seeds, so that there will be future generations. People enjoy the shade. Since I have seen these things...should I just let it go? Vicious soil can only breed diseases and pests, and fragile seedlings cannot withstand such root rot!"

"so……"

"So, there are many Zhang Weipings here... I really can't go up to them one by one and slap them in the face. They have to gather together. What if Master Ye comes out one dozen times..."

"Master Ye...Ye...Ip Man? The one with Zhen Zidan?...Hey, is this also a joke?"

Yang Mi couldn't laugh or cry.

But Xu Xin nodded:

"So, I want to do this, but I can't do it blatantly. I have to hide myself... become a promoter behind... It's too easy to get a Zhang Weiping. But I have to get a group of Zhang Weiping... Chengfeng , Rising Waves, and Wind and Cloud Meeting, none of them can be missing...are you right?"

"..."

Hearing this, Yang Mi already understood what her lover meant.

He has decided.

So, he didn't even ask "Do you support me?"

Because there is no need.

And because no matter what, I will support him.

only……

"Be careful."

She said:

"Sneak into the village."

"certainly."

Xu Xin nodded vigorously:

"No need to shoot!"
