I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 662 659. White Windmill

"You smile and wander~"

“Romance on the phone~”

…

“Our feelings spread, grow and are cultivated through words~”

"In virtual soil~"

The third song, "Romantic Cell Phone" ends after singing.

The backup dancers left, Jay Chou breathed a little, and came to the front of the stage with Lang Lang who stood up.

"Huh... Ouch, not bad, not bad, OK OK."

Standing in front of the stage, he turned to Lang Lang and said:

"Hey, how do you feel?"

Lang Lang held up the microphone with a smile:

"Why are you asking me? You have to ask Lao Xu and Dami, as well as our audience."

"oh?"

Jay Chou held up the pink microphone and said to the audience with a smile:

"Okay, let me ask separately. First of all, the audience friends in the venue, do you feel okay?"

"OK!!!!"

The sound of roaring mountains and tsunami quickly resounded and reached Jay Chou's ears.

"Oh, not bad, not bad."

He smiled and nodded, then looked at the camera:

"So... friends outside in the welcome square, what about you? Let me hear your voices! Are you okay!!"

After a delay of about half a second, everyone heard the commotion coming from the distance.

"Hahaha, OK, okay, okay."

Jay Chou nodded again and finally looked at Xu Xin:

"Hey, Ah Xin, Mimi, how about you, do you feel okay?"

Xu Xin took the microphone handed over by the staff, thought about it, and handed it to his wife.

You do it.

So, Yang Mi took the microphone and said with a smile:

"Did you choose sweet songs for today's playlist?"

"Yes, I'm here to celebrate your wedding."

"Well……"

Hearing this, Yang Mi looked around and said:

"But I want to listen to many, many songs. "In the Name of the Father," "Chapter Seven of the Night," and "All the Way North." Do you want to sing it?"

Jay Chou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Would it be unlucky?"

After hearing this, Yang Mi said without thinking:

"There is nothing unlucky about your song!"

"oh!!!!!!!!"

Cheers sounded again.

In just one sentence, Yang Mi won the hearts of everyone who came to watch the concert, both inside and outside the venue.

After hearing the cheers and applause, Jay Chou was stunned and said with a smile:

"Sure."

These people are the elite lineup for his concerts.

Both the harmonies and the band.

But they are absolutely tacit partners who have been honed through "fans asking for songs (Jay Chou himself can't sing)" one after another.

So, if you want to hear it, let me sing it to you.

After agreeing, he pressed his hand to signal the audience to quiet down, and then said:

"Actually, here, I want to tell everyone something... Hey, Lao Lang, have you ever heard A Xin say how he and Mimi got together?"

"I knew he was on the set of "Golden Armor"."

Hearing Lang Lang's words, Jay Chou laughed and said:

"What about all of you, do you want to hear it?"

"think!!!!"

The audience's response made Jay Chou look satisfied:

"OK, I'm here and want to reveal two secrets to you..."

"Tell me something."

Lang Lang praised him as much as he did cross talk.

Then, amid the curiosity of the audience, Jay Chou raised his first finger:

"The first secret, our groom Xu Xin and bride Yang Mi this time, the reason why they can be together... is because of me!"

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

Instinctively, he covered his face.

It's over.

It's all over.

"On the night when I confessed my love, Xu Xin was very hesitant. I gave him the courage and encouraged him to confess!"

"Wow!!!"

"oh!!!!!"

"Hua la la la la la..."

After Xu Xin completely covered his face, the audience looked at his hopeless look on the big screen, smiled and gave exclamations and applause.

"What about the second secret?"

Lang Lang asked curiously.

Because of the concert, the two did not repeat the process in detail.

After hearing this, Jay Chou said:

"The second secret...hey, it's like this. Even if you go out to film or perform, you know that the artist's RV is still relatively private, right?"

"right."

"Normally no one comes to my RV. The second secret is...the two of them spend most of their time in my RV falling in love...just the two of them chatting and directing me. Pianist, accompany them in singing..."

"ah!!!!!"

Jay Chou's words successfully touched everyone's dreams.

Let the screams instantly resound throughout the audience.

This is Jay Chou! ! ! !

Think about it, when I was in love with my girlfriend, Jay Chou was playing piano for me next to me...

Oh my god, what kind of treatment is this?

Xu Xin and Yang Mi...are too happy, right?

Amidst the screams, Lang Lang asked curiously:

"Then according to what you say...this is still love between the three of you?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

The whole place fell silent.

Everyone, including Jay Chou, was dumbfounded and looked straight at him...

It has to be you.

Piano master Lang Lang.

It really has to be you...

then……

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

While laughing, Jay Chou looked "angry" and chased Lang Lang:

"Wow, how can you be like this!"

He chased and ran loudly.

After the two of them ran to the piano, suddenly Lang Lang made a "wait a minute" gesture.

Holding the microphone:

"Hey, listen."

"...What are you listening to?"

"Listen, it smells like vanilla."

"Hey, please, the smell of vanilla is something you can smell. How can you tell it by hearing it?"

"Can't you hear me?"

"I can't hear you."

"Listen carefully again."

Lang Lang said, reaching out and tapping a melody on the piano.

Sounds familiar.

But it's not Jay Chou's song.

After Lang Lang finished percussing, before the audience remembered the melody, he asked Jay Chou again:

"Did you hear that?"

"……What?"

"The smell of vanilla bar poof."

As soon as he finished speaking, he sat down directly and began to play the melody skillfully.

Then……

Warhead and the others ran on stage with microphones.

"Hello, hello, Axin, sister Mi, happy wedding!!!"

Amidst the sound of the piano, they quickly came to Jay Chou, who was tapping along with the melody.

The music starts again.

"After it rained last night, the playground was very humid, and the water droplets on the basketball have not dried yet..."

Obviously, this was a well-designed session.

A song called "Vanilla Bar Poof" by Nan Quan Mama opened the concert again.

The brisk rhythm and the soft but melodious chorus brought everyone back to the summer of 2004...

At the end of a chorus, during the "la la la la" chorus, Warhead raised the microphone high:

"I said newlyweds! You said happy! Newlyweds!"

"hapiness!"

The audience shouted in cooperation.

"Newlyweds!"

"hapiness!"

"Axin Mimi is newly married!"

"hapiness!"

"Wedding! Happy~~~~~~"

"La la la la la..."

The atmosphere at the scene was electrified by these people!

During the chorus of la la la, Jay Chou and Lang Lang quietly exited.

Four people from "Nanquan Mama" were left behind.

After the female vocalist Liang Xinyi in this year's team went solo, they stopped looking for female members.

After Jay Chou and Lang Lang went down to change clothes, the four people left behind had no ink marks. After singing "Vanilla Bar Poof", they started another song directly.

"Mudanjiang".

And matching them was Deng Ziqi who came up from the backstage.

"Who is singing that song Mudanjiang outside the door~"

"I listen to the sentimentality of your melodious voice~"

"The wind chime shakes and rings loudly~"

"The small village by the river is as peaceful as a nap...Brother Xu, Sister Mi, happy wedding~"

The runner-up of The Voice didn’t have any stage fright, and her voice perfectly blended with the song.

Soon, the two songs were finished, and Warnhead and the others left the stage with their blessings, but Deng Ziqi did not leave. Instead, amid the loud piano sounds that came back on stage at an unknown time, Jay Chou, who had not yet appeared, hummed:

"I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I turned my mood into a song~ so I had to go to the roof to find another dream~~~"

Deng Ziqi continued to sing:

"I was woken up from my sleep..."

"roof".

Just like Jay Chou said.

This time he prepared sweet songs.

A sweet song for Axin and Mimi.

But, Mimi also said just now that she wants to listen to "The Seventh Chapter of Night", what should I do?

"Hey, little sister, did you hear it just now? The song that your sister Mi wanted to hear."

After singing "Rooftop", it was time for Deng Ziqi to go down, but she was stopped by Jay Chou.

The band started to get busy in an orderly manner.

When he got off the stage just now, Jay Chou had already finished talking to them.

After hearing this, Deng Ziqi smiled and nodded:

"I know, brother JAY."

"Okay, then...this song "Chapter Seven of Night" is for all of you!"

Just change it.

it does not matter.

Whatever makes you happy today.

…

Is it enjoyable?

this concert.

The answer is yes.

This is not a commercial performance, and the organizer does not have any so-called financial pressure.

As long as everyone is not too cold, they can keep singing.

The concert was expected to last for 2 hours, but it ended up lasting for 3 hours.

Until 10 o'clock.

Jay Chou, who was sweating profusely, saw that the time was almost up and then said:

"OK OK, next is the last song. Are you enjoying it!!!"

“Enjoyed!!!!”

For three hours, the audience's enthusiasm did not diminish at all. After hearing Jay Chou's words, they once again responded in unison.

It's just that... the voice is a little hoarse.

Apparently, after singing along continuously for three hours, everyone felt "unable to sing".

After hearing this, Jay Chou stood under the spotlight and finally said:

"Actually, there is a secret that I haven't told everyone just now. The reason why Axin was able to confess to Mimi is actually... I sang a song to him on the phone. It was also this song that gave him strength... Axin, right?"

Xu Xin, who had become accustomed to this group of people "flagellating" him within three hours, nodded vigorously on the screen and gave his thumbs up.

Jay Chou smiled slightly and said:

"This song is also the last song today. "White Windmill", I sang it to you on the phone, giving you the strength to express your love to Mimi. Now... I would like to ask you Everyone who sings this song, through this song, sends our most sincere and sincere blessings to Axin, you and Mimi. Axin! Mimi! What is waiting for you ahead is forever!"

As the words fell, the melody of "White Windmill" resounded.

"I will accompany you until the end~"

"Can you please not look back~"

"Hold me tightly~"

"Say you don't need a commitment~"

"You said I would be freer if I were alone~"

"I don't understand what you are talking about, but I won't let go anyway..."

"Axin, Mimi, happy wedding!!!"

Following the roaring blessings from their friends, Xu Xin and Yang Mi sat in the audience, their hands clasped together, and the rings on their hands were dazzling under the light.

That's a diamond.

It's pink diamond.

It is eternal love.

Forever.

…

That night, Jay Chou performed a free concert in Shenmu with a star-studded lineup. He sang and danced for more than three hours, making headlines in the entertainment industry again.

It also added fuel to the fire again to the wedding of Xu Xin and Yang Mi.

Although there was also a loud piano solo during the period...

But compared to Jay Chou's popularity, the momentum is still small.

Some people complained for Lang Lang, but Lang Lang himself didn't care.

After the concert, everyone went to find a place to have a late-night snack.

The mutton pot is enough.

The excitement lasted until about 2 o'clock in the morning before I returned home.

On the 14th, the banquet continued, and more and more people came to Xujiaji.

A reporter interviewed the boss of a trap.

According to the words of the ring boss:

"There are many customers in this market, which is more lively than other big markets. Normally, I only sell two to three hundred yuan a day in other markets. Yesterday, I sold less than a thousand yuan in one day."

From the boss's words, one can actually tell how terrifying the flow of people in this market due to Xu Xin and Yang Mi's wedding was.

And as more and more details about eating, drinking, playing, and having fun are revealed, what everyone sees becomes more and more real.

They saw free driving.

According to the driver, after the people from Xujiawan paid them a full day's wages, they came here to drive for free to those who wanted to drink but drive.

They also saw the traffic police on duty.

The traffic police said that this drunk driving investigation will continue until the end of Xujiaji. Shenmu County hopes that all tourists can eat, drink and have fun, but the most important thing is to return home safely and happily.

They even saw tourists from Taiyuan, Inner Mongolia and other places.

At first, people came here for Jay Chou, but after arriving at Xujiaji, they felt that the atmosphere was exactly the same as going to the market when they were children. It’s just a bit embarrassing to eat so many good things for free.

If this kind of market can be fixed, they will be willing to come even if it is a fee.

Because I feel the simplicity and enthusiasm of the people in northern Shaanxi...

In short, the more details are disclosed, the less the "rural seats are low" argument on the Internet.

It almost disappeared.

Because everyone can feel the care that others put into this wedding.

However... as these details were revealed, everyone began to become curious.

What about the bride price?

What about the betrothal gift?

Can you dig out some of the details from these weddings?

We are very curious...

…

"Not much actually."

Yang Mi, who was guarding the stove to warm herself up, and her fingers were a little blackened from just grilling the roasted potatoes, said helplessly.

After speaking, she glanced at Zhao Liying:

"Why are you always curious about this? You want to get to the bottom of it..."

"Oh, sister~ Just tell me... I'm really curious... Jiaojiao is also curious!"

"I don't!"

Following Zhao Liying's words, Zhang Jiao shook her head like a rattle.

Can you die without taking me with you?

At this moment, in the boiler room, a group of big celebrities from outside were sitting on small horses, looking like they were having a meeting with women.

When Zhao Liying asked netizens' curious questions, although Zhang Jiao shook her head, other people also had curious looks in their eyes.

As bridesmaids, they had already experienced the details of this wedding.

But only this betrothal gift...

Indeed, Yang Mi never had a single conversation with them...

But when she saw her friend selling herself, Zhao Liying's eyes began to sparkle, and she looked at Yang Mi pitifully:

"Sister~~"

"..."

Yang Mi was speechless for a while.

But after looking at the others, she saw that everyone was staring at her curiously. After thinking for a while, she said:

"The betrothal gift comes according to tradition. As for the betrothal gift... it is our anniversary. In fact, the other things are not divided between you and me in the family. I know what you want to ask, Baozi... but it doesn't make any sense."

As she spoke, she scratched Zhao Liying's face with her dark fingers, and painted the other person into a little black cat:

"Being together between two people is not about the betrothal gift or money, but about love. The amount of the betrothal gift cannot represent his love for you, nor can it prove the life of the two of you after marriage. And you... don't be concerned about these. Curious, for example, if someone else's gift is 10,000 yuan and yours is 20,000 yuan, you must be happier than others... No. Regarding everything about love, don't compare, because it is meaningless. Your happiness after marriage in the future , nor should it be measured by these pre-marriage preparations."

"Well……"

She didn't expect that she would be taught a lesson inexplicably, and Zhao Liying was confused for a moment.

But she still nodded subconsciously in that confusion:

"I know, sister."

"Hmm... Well, these potatoes should be ripe, right? Come on, let's share a portion. I really like eating the potatoes here..."

Just a little aside.

But in fact, Zhao Liying didn't need to ask about the bride price.

She only needed to recall carefully to figure it out.

For example, the floors of Shuangwei headquarters.

Or if she was familiar with Yang Ying, she would know that Sister Mi also has a villa worth hundreds of millions in Xiangjiang.

Or, when she goes to Happy Twist next year, she will know that the Magic City Theater of Happy Twist is also owned by Sister Mi...

Everyone knows what Yang Mi has.

But everyone only knows part of it.

But it is this part...

From their point of view, it was already amazing enough.

Because which of these things is not worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions?

And if they knew all these things and added them together, they would understand the meaning of what Yang Mi said today.

Because it's true... there are some things that can't be compared.

No need to compare.

A couple lives their lives like a person who knows whether drinking water is warm or cold.

Just live your life well.

…

"Xu Xin, this is Meng Danqing, my boyfriend."

On the afternoon of the 14th, Zhang Yimou and Zhang Mo hurried over.

I also brought a foreign friend.

That is this young man named Meng Danqing.

Not bad, quite handsome.

"Hello."

Xu Xin smiled and shook hands with the other party.

Before they could exchange greetings, Zhang Yimou asked:

"Can I go up to the mountain behind the village?"

"Er Daoliang? Yes, we used to go up there to play when we were kids... Do you want to go up there and have a look?"

"Um."

It was clear that he had just arrived and had not even settled on a place to live. Zhang Yimou looked at this strange but familiar scenery with endless memories and joy in his eyes.

When he heard this, Xu Xin smiled and said:

"Sister Mo, let Yang Mi receive you. I'll take Director Zhang to take a look."

"good."

Zhang Mo responded:

"You two go."

"Um."

So, without even entering the door, Xu Xin took Zhang Yimou and walked up the mountain along the village road.

Xu Xin asked:

"How was the filming going?"

"I am mainly filming Bell's scenes. After all, Ni Ni's foundation is still a little weak, and the progress is a bit slow. However... Bell is still very dedicated, and the overall progress is pretty good."

Zhang Yimou said while looking around.

At the same time, he asked:

"Did you grow up in the village?"

"Yes. We used to be very poor... Have you prepared the lines for your marriage ceremony?"

"Ready. By the way, where is Erlang Mountain?"

You asked them, and I asked them.

We quickly walked along the village towards the back mountain.

The so-called Erdaoliang is actually right behind Xujiawan.

The reason why Xujiawan is called "Bend" is because it was the only turn in the mountain road that was accessible in and out of the "Erdaoliang" hill.

Erdaoliang Mountain is actually not very high. In addition, the grass dies and turns yellow in winter, so the scenery on the mountain is quite monotonous.

But Zhang Yimou liked it very much.

After walking up the mountain road, he stood on a low slope and looked into the distance, sighing:

"It's great...it reminds me of the time when I was filming "Red Sorghum"."

"I've seen photos, photos of you shirtless and carrying a camera..."

"That was for Chen Kaige to shoot "Yellow Earth", not "Red Sorghum"."

Zhang Yimou smiled and shook his head, and suddenly sat down.

Not going up either.

Sitting on the slope, looking at the undulating mountains in the distance and the several coal towers in the mountains, he asked:

"What kind of mine is that over there?"

"Xujiawan No. 2 Coal Mine under Shenhuo. It was built in 1999. The annual output is about 1.8 million tons. Here at Shenmu... it belongs to the middle and lower sections, and it is not a big mine."

Hearing this, Zhang Yimou nodded.

Then he stopped talking.

Instead, he continued to look into the distance in a daze.

Xu Xin lit a cigarette and squatted on the slope to be in a daze with him.

Although he didn't know what the old man was thinking.

But... just stay with me.

Just like that, after smoking a cigarette, he stabbed the cigarette butt directly into the soil.

He dug into the loess and crushed it several times with his feet.

For fire protection.

At this time, Zhang Yimou finally spoke:

"'The Thirteen Hairpins' is my last purely commercial film... I plan to use this film to compete for the Olympics. But whether it succeeds or not, it will be the last one."

"..."

Xu Xin was stunned.

Asked subconsciously:

“You won’t make commercial films in the future?”

"No more filming."

Zhang Yimou shook his head firmly:

"The restrictions are too great, the market is changing, and the tempers of investors are also changing... Times have changed."

He sighed.

"...What happened?"

Xu Xin asked tentatively.

But Zhang Yimou did not answer.

Instead, he continued to look into the distance and was stunned.

And... I don’t know what he was thinking about. In Xu Xin’s eyes, this man from Guanzhong was sitting on the loess soil in northern Shaanxi. He looked at this land that was not considered to be rich but had given birth to civilization for thousands of years. He had a childish smile.

Simple and pure.

then……

He stopped asking.

Good.

It’s time for the old man to start enjoying life.
