I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 727 724 Two Four One Zero

Chapter 727 724.2410

This peach butter beer is good.

At least I slept soundly this time.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, Xu Xin, who still had some water stains on his face, wiped his face and walked out of the room.

He planned to go out and have a bowl of oil tea and mahua.

You have money.

To top it all off, let’s have the Roujiamo.

This is the life of rich people!

Go downstairs along the corridor.

He had no intention of calling Wang Sicong.

This guy is a night owl. As long as he has nothing to do, he will definitely get up at 9 or 10 o'clock.

When he gets up, there will probably be only oil left in the Camellia oleifera twist... huh?

Looking at the open door of the guest bedroom, Xu Xin was stunned.

Lao Wang is up?

He peeked in from the door and saw no one on the bed, so he shouted:

"Old Wang? Come on, let's go down for breakfast?"

"..."

No one responded.

He pushed open the bathroom door again.

Where is Lao Wang?

There were obviously clothes and pants that he had changed on the bed.

With this doubt, he went downstairs.

"Brother Xu, good morning."

Su Meng, who had already gotten up, was holding a cup of something in her hand and was drinking while saying hello to him.

"What did you drink for breakfast?"

"black coffee."

"Drinking this when you wake up early?...I have nothing to do these days. If you feel sleepy, just go to bed."

"Huh? No, no, no, it's not. This is black coffee, which burns fat. You can lose weight if you drink one cup in the morning!"

"..."

Xu Xin was speechless and looked her up and down.

"It's so similar..."

Three question marks popped up in Su Meng's head.

"Me? Who do you look like?"

"Like a retard."

"..."

In Su Meng's (▼ヘ▼ # ) expression, Xu Xin shook his head helplessly:

"Instead of engaging in these evil ways, you should do more exercise. A cup of coffee can help you lose weight? Who did you listen to?...Have you seen Lao Wang?"

"without."

"Let's go then, let's go out for breakfast."

As soon as he heard about eating, the expression of the little assistant who had lost weight just now became vivid immediately.

"Okay, okay, Brother Xu, what should we eat today?"

"Twist oil tea and twists, and I'll pair it with a fat and lean classic meat bun, okay?"

Su Meng: ヾ(°°)

"Great!"

"laugh."

Looking at her bright expression, Xu Xin sneered:

"Losing weight, huh?"

Su Meng: (〝▼ dishes▼)!

…

After finishing breakfast, Xu Xin was sitting at the small table in the breakfast shop, smoking a cigarette and reading the Douban ratings and reviews of "33 Days".

good.

The score is 8.2, not to mention the good reviews among the more than 400 reviews. The only points of average reviews are the taste and audience appeal.

Some people thought the movie was too pretentious.

I can't stand Huang Xiaoxian's pretentiousness.

The look and feel is very poor.

This is exactly what Xu Xin can accept most.

Because when you see a character and you can make disgusting comments, it just shows that the actor's performance is vivid and realistic.

and……

These IDs all look like male compatriots.

After all, I've never seen any girl use Ultraman's avatar.

Strictly speaking, this script is aimed at female audiences.

Even if the male audience doesn't like it, he can accept it.

"Hello...are you director Xu Xin?"

Xu Xin, who was smoking and looking at his cell phone, and Su Meng, who was munching meat buns, tea and twists, raised their heads at the same time.

At first glance, I saw several girls dressed as high school students.

Looking at him with unique shyness.

Xu Xin nodded:

"Hello you all."

"Really, really!"

Several girls suddenly became excited and took out their mobile phones:

“Can we take a picture with you?”

"Can."

Xu Xin readily agreed.

After standing up and taking a few steps back, and finding a suitable position, Su Meng took the mobile phones of these people and started taking pictures.

First together, then separately.

After taking photos one by one, Xu Xin asked in confusion:

"It's almost 8 o'clock, don't you have class?"

"We are sophomores in high school. We have two days off from the college entrance examination to help the seniors clean up the examination room."

"Oh~~~"

Xu Xin suddenly realized.

Then, the girls said again:

"We're going to watch your movie today!"

"Haha, thank you for your support. But studying is more important than watching movies. You might as well wait to watch my movies when there are resources online. Study hard first. Now that you are in the second year of high school, you have to go to the next level. Otherwise, the third year of high school will be very difficult. …”

"..."

Several girls were speechless.

I'm probably muttering to myself that you look like a dog, but you keep saying that you're not human...

But in the end they agreed and waved goodbye to Xu Xin politely.

It's just a matter of whether you heard it or not.

Xu Xin didn't mind either. He was also a student, and of course he understood that his words were no different from farts to children of this age.

Might as well fart.

but……

He did remember something.

"When will the graduation photos be taken?"

Upon hearing this, Su Meng, who had already begun to finish the bowl, said quickly:

"On the morning of the 7th. At school, I have received my bachelor's uniform."

"Oh, okay."

Xu Xin nodded and watched Su Meng drink a bowl of camellia and twists to the bottom. The moment she put down the bowl and chopsticks, she said:

"lose weight?"

ψ(*｀ー)ψ

Brother Xu, you are so bad!

…

"Brother Xu, Brother Cong's car."

"……Um?"

Xu Xin subconsciously raised his head and saw the Bentley parked at the door of the guest house.

There was no way, the car was parked on the roadside, purely waiting for the old policeman to post a note about his unfortunate behavior.

Fortunately, there are two triangular stakes placed next to the car.

It was probably placed by the security guard, fearing that it would be scratched by passing electric vehicles or the like.

So, here comes the question...

Known: Wang Sicong and Xu Xin rested at home together last night, but when they woke up the next morning, Xu Xin found that he had disappeared. But his car appeared at the door of the guest house.

Solution: In what position did Wang Sicong sleep last night?

Please write the correct answer and solution idea.

__________

"Mengmeng."

"ah?"

"Don't read it, it's not suitable for children."

"……ah?"

Su Meng was stunned. She didn't understand why a car was not suitable for children.

There are no cars lying on top of it.

But it was immediately reflected...

"Oh~~~~"

(￣︶￣)

…

Xu Xin walked into the auditorium at the last time of class.

And when he entered the auditorium, he immediately felt countless eyes falling on him.

And the atmosphere is a bit "weird".

He didn't mind.

Everyone knows that when the factory called on everyone to come back to study, Xu Xin's film promotion period had not yet ended.

Movie promotion is actually a very tedious job.

And the intensity is not low.

I won’t mention the most basic busy itinerary of one city in the morning and one city in the afternoon. There are also various types of promotions.

For example, for many directors, the release of a movie is not the end of promotion.

They will continue to appear in one city after another, interact with movie fans at the scene, participate in various promotional news, let everyone know that their movie has been released, go and see it, and increase the box office.

But this kind of publicity method, which can be said to be like scrapping the ground, has only been derived in the past two years.

And Xu Xin's "gentleman" style of stopping publicity after the movie is released is a very old-school approach.

But the problem is that this meeting in the factory didn't even finish being a "gentleman".

I called back two days in advance.

The movie is currently in theaters, and although it has a good reputation, no one knows what the box office will be like...

So everyone is in a weird mood right now.

Everyone has their own thoughts.

But looking at the calm look on Xu Xin's face as he walked in, everyone didn't feel comfortable asking questions.

But the chatter was gone.

The "squad monitors" all came in.

Then just wait until class begins.

…

At noon, Xu Xin finally saw Wang Sicong with messy hair.

Um.

All I can say is that although his hair is messy, Lao Wang’s face is full of beauty.

He didn't ask much.

Just asked:

"At Seventh Brother's place last night?"

"Um."

Following his friend's simple reply, Xu Xin responded, and then asked inexplicably:

"Would you like me to find you a teacher to practice yoga with?"

"...?"

Wang Sicong looked puzzled:

"Why should I practice that thing?"

"Unlock difficult poses."

"..."

After hearing this, Wang Sicong stared at his friend who was looking at him seriously for a moment, and suddenly sneered:

"Tsk. Don't be ridiculous, I know more than you."

Xu Xin nodded sincerely:

"That's true. You spend more time playing than I do."

"So, you don't have to worry about it, you know?"

"Yes, yes, okay, big brother."

Seeing Lao Wang's proud look, Xu Xin nodded enthusiastically.

Then he muttered something in his heart:

"I can't tell who is playing with who."

…

At night, several people gathered together for dinner again.

But this time there were two more people.

Zhang Jiao and Zhao Liying joined the battle.

In fact, it's not that I favor one over the other, it's just that sometimes, everyone, whether with friends or colleagues, needs a sense of boundaries more or less when getting along.

Anyone who can have dinner with Xu Xin on the first day can call him "Old Xu".

The next day, it was the turn of the group of people who called him "Brother Xu" to eat with him.

Sometimes superiors and subordinates are not strangers, but a rigid need in management.

But the same thing...

There were two less people at the meal this time.

Lao Wang and Seventh Brother didn't know what they were doing.

Seeing that the two of them were not here, Xu Xin and Lin Xinxin both understood each other tacitly.

Only Liu Yifei said stupidly:

"Aren't you waiting for Lao Wang and Seventh Brother?"

Xu Xin, who was communicating with Qi Lei on WeChat about "Fire", said without raising his head:

"Stop saying those inappropriate words for children! Mi Tai!"

"……ah?"

The fairy sister was confused again and again.

He looked up at Lin Xinxin blankly.

"What does he mean?"

"You'll find out when you grow up, old girl."

"Bah! Who are you taking advantage of!"

The fairy sister spat at him directly.

Don't think that I don't know what the Northeastern dialect "old girl and old son" means!

Baozi on the side said:

"Sister, you are not old at all! You are getting younger and younger!"

"..."

Everyone, including Xu Xin, was speechless.

Zhang Jiao sighed helplessly:

"Oh... Baozi, old girl means junior. It has nothing to do with age."

"……ah?"

Looking at her dazed look, Zhang Jiao felt a little pain in her temples.

Xu Xin put down his phone and asked Zhao Liying:

"Did you get the script?"

"Got it!"

Zhao Liying nodded at first, but then changed the subject:

"But I'm a little nervous, Brother Xu. "Gong Lock Heart Jade" is so popular... I'm afraid I failed in the performance..."

"...?"

Xu Xin was stunned and asked in confusion:

"You... took the protagonist's script?"

"No, it's a scene from Fujin."

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched...

"You're not the protagonist, why are you nervous?"

Liu Yifei on the side couldn't help laughing.

After Xu Xin heard this, an idea flashed in his mind:

"It's okay. If you are nervous, just ask her for advice. She is professional in TV dramas."

"Hello!"

Liu Yifei couldn't laugh or cry.

But he still said to Zhao Liying:

"Don't be nervous. If the play is not good, it will be the protagonist who will bear the burden if the sky falls... By the way, who is the protagonist of this play?"

"I don't know. Let's see what the Hunan side says."

Xu Xin shrugged nonchalantly, then turned to Zhang Jiao and said:

"The hosting job of "The Voice" is quite easy, so you don't have to be so nervous. Sa Beining will take care of you."

"Uh-huh!"

Zhang Jiao nodded vigorously.

In fact, at the realization stage, she was very satisfied to get this job.

This year is also the day when she graduates from Beijing Film Academy's adult education class, but it is different from Baozi's experience in playing roles as big and small as Desperate Sanniang.

She is still in the exploratory stage.

Sister Mi's arrangement for her was to practice at Happy Twist.

Then look for opportunities bit by bit.

She really wasn't in a hurry either.

After studying for two years, although I dare not say how much my acting skills have improved, at least my eyesight has been trained.

She already had a very intuitive estimate of the gap between herself and those seniors.

So my mentality is very stable.

And being able to get a job as the host of "The Voice" is a benefit that I never dreamed of.

After all, Sister Yang Ying stood out from this show.

But she still asked:

"Brother Xu, in "The Heart of the Burning Sun"... is there a role that I can play? Just that kind of... one or two seconds of scenes. I want to play~"

She said it so bluntly.

But the actual situation is that if you put aside the relationship between the two people.

Speaking outside, having a shot of one or two seconds in a movie by a major director is already the dream of countless 18th-tier young actors.

Maybe the great director won't pay special attention to this one or two seconds of footage... Of course, this is also relative.

Some directors have very high requirements for every frame of their works.

But if the director doesn't care, and usually delegates the casting matter to the casting director, then the actors may have to pay a lot to get these one or two seconds of footage.

As for Xu Xin.

After thinking for a while, he agreed directly:

"Okay, you can play the role of the girl who was killed at the beginning. There aren't many scenes, it should only be a few seconds at the beginning. To gain experience."

"Um!"

Zhang Jiao nodded vigorously.

"Me, Brother Xu, I want it too!"

Zhao Liying raised her hand.

Xu Xin rolled his eyes:

"You want a shit!"

Look, let me just say that Brother Xu has a dog face!

Looking at the bridesmaid who pouted with dissatisfaction, Xu Xin shook her head helplessly:

"We'll see when the time comes. I'll call you if you need anything."

"Hey hey hey..."

You see, Brother Xu really has a dog face.

Just change it!

…

Finished the meal.

Time came to night calmly.

Xu Xin called Xue Yong to the villa. After first confirming with him that Zhang Jiao would be the girl at the beginning, he flipped through the script.

After choosing to add a female police officer who conveys orders to I Guchun and calls Xin Xiaofeng to his office, and another female hotel staff character who Xin Xiaofeng and I Guchun go to catch drug dealers at the end of the film, they chose the latter. We talked about the next arrangements again.

It was finally decided to hold the second round of auditions on June 12th.

Then directly select actors that Xu Xin thinks are suitable.

Seeing that Director Xu had already confirmed the date, Xue Yong stood up to leave and went back to arrange work.

The actors have to be notified in advance so that everyone can make time.

It was half past nine when he left.

At 10 o'clock, when Wang Sicong showed no intention of coming back, Xu Xin locked the door directly.

After tidying up, I went straight into the bathroom to take a shower and go to bed.

He came out of the bathroom covered in moisture and lay on the bed. He was about to call his wife out of habit, but he found that Xue Yong had called him three times.

He dialed back.

"Dudu... Hello, Director Xu."

"Brother Yong, do you have a problem with me?"

"Yes, that's the case, Director Xu, when I informed the actors just now, Duan Yihong said that he couldn't come..."

"oh?"

Xu Xin was stunned.

The first thought is:

"Is there someone in Beijing who won't let him come?"

"No, no, no, no, he got married on June 12th."

"……ah?"

Xu Xin was speechless for a moment.

In his eyes, this person is the most suitable role for Iguchun.

In fact, there were not many people in the second round of auditions. There were only forty or fifty people for the main roles, and it basically ended in one day.

But this was a wedding, and Xu Xin could understand such a happy day.

After thinking for a while, he said:

"That's it. You give him a call again and ask him if he can come when he comes back. On the 16th or 17th, we'll get together some of Yi Guchun's actors and ask them to come over."

"Okay, Director Xu, I'll communicate with him."

"Um."

Xu Xin responded and was about to hang up the phone, but immediately remembered something and said:

"etc."

"Director Xu, please tell me."

"...Now that we know about this, let's ask again. If he says he can't come later, it means there must be some reasons why he can't star in our drama. But if he says he can come, Brother Yong Just ask me more about where the wedding will be held. Now that you know about it, let me be a part of it. I will pay for it, and when the time comes, Brother Yong, you can make a trip."

"Ok, I see."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin dialed Yang Mi's phone number.

first sentence:

"Daughter-in-law, come on, the bench, melon seeds and tea are ready. I'll treat you to a big melon today!"

One sentence aroused all Yang Mi's emotions:

"Sei? How old is it? What's going on!"

"Brother Seven and Lao Wang are here!"

"Ah! Is it true or false?"

The couple started sharing the rich Bagua Zhigua.

While sharing, Xu Xin received Xue Yong’s WeChat message:

"Director Xu, he said he can come! Thank you very much for giving him this opportunity. The wedding will be held in Yanjing. I told Director Xu that I would give him a companion, but he couldn't go in person because of the movie. He is quite happy."

"OK."

Xu Xin returned the expression and continued to gossip with his wife.

We chatted for about ten minutes and finished eating the melon.

The two said good night to each other sweetly.

Turning off the light, Xu Xin snuggled into the bed and closed her eyes.

Time passes minute by minute.

Today, Xu Xin's sleeping posture was not very good. For some reason, his head was raised to the head of the bed, and he slept at an angle, which caused his trachea to be compressed and made him snore.

Soon, it passed 12 o'clock and it was June 3rd.

…

"Bond, James Bond."

Looking at the picture on the IPAD, Wang Sicong turned around and said:

"What do you think of this generation of 007?"

"..."

Si Wei, who was lying next to him, was in a daze looking at the screen on the IPAD, as if she didn't hear her boyfriend's words at all.

Seeing this, Wang Sicong quietly glanced at the time on his phone.

It's past 12 o'clock.

Although Di Wei has slept for more than 4 hours since last night... Logically speaking, she should be very sleepy.

But as a warm-hearted man, Mr. Wang knew that his girlfriend was sleepy, but he had no intention of urging her to sleep.

He knew what Brother Seven was waiting for.

During dinner she said she had no appetite.

He looked like he was out of his mind.

It continues until now.

In order to wait for news about their girlfriend, the two of them found the 007 feature film series to pass the time after dinner.

It's strange to say that even though they "just got together", it should be the time when they know how to taste each other, but at this point in time, the two of them have already respected each other like guests for a long time.

It’s not Wang Sicong.

This pot belongs to Di Wei.

He doesn't answer.

Seeing this, he simply paused the video.

The scene freezes on the handsome-looking villain playing with chips.

"..."

Only then did Si Wei's eyes focus as if she had just woken up from a dream:

"Why don't you watch it?"

"You don't even care to watch, so what else should I watch?"

After hearing this, she quickly shook her head:

"No, I'm watching with you..."

"Okay, I know what you're waiting for."

Wang Sicong thoughtfully put his iPad aside and picked up his phone.

"It's 12:15. I asked them to speed up the statistics this time. They should report to Qilena soon. Let's wait together..."

There is no such thing as "don't pry into my privacy".

He opened the WeChat screen generously.

"Shall I send him a message and ask?"

"don't want……"

Di Wei subconsciously covered his phone:

"Don't... let's just... wait."

"...Then why don't I ask Wanda about the box office situation first. I have a good idea."

"Don't... Oh, please, please don't cause trouble. Brother Cong! Be patient..."

He quickly stopped his boyfriend again.

But her eyes were still fixed on the screen.

Looking forward to and fearing the news that may appear at any time.

Time passed slowly in this strange expectation and silence.

Unable to bear the quiet atmosphere, Wang Sicong said:

"Don't worry, it's usually around 12:30. Lao Xu's movies over the years are basically at this time..."

"Um……"

Si Wei responded again without thinking.

But the next second...

"Buzz!"

Wang Sicong suddenly received a message on WeChat.

Sent by Qi Lei!

"!!!"

Di Wei only felt that her heart was squeezed instantly.

She didn't even have time to stop her boyfriend, asking him to stop looking... and give herself some time to prepare.

Then Wang Sicong clicked on the chat box and saw the content inside.

"The box office is out on the first day."

"The first-day box office of "Love Is Not Blind": 24.1 million."

The moment she saw this news, Di Wei's mind suddenly went blank.

She felt that at this moment...she couldn't think anymore.

Instinctively, she held her boyfriend's arm firmly:

"Brother Cong... Cong! Okay... okay?"

"Haha~"

Wang Sicong, who also had a big stone in his heart, laughed happily:

"Can it be bad? Not counting publicity, a movie with a total production cost of around 8 million yuan paid back its money on the first day!~ And if this trend continues, the first week will steadily exceed 100 million yuan, and the box office will exceed 2 yuan by the end of the 45-day screening period. 100 million is definitely no problem! Eight million investment, 200 million box office, more than ten times the profit! Brother Qi, do you know what the return ratio is? Small cost, big hit! You are popular! Your commercial value..."

"Buzz buzz..."

At some point, her boyfriend's words reached Di Wei and turned into a buzzing sound.

She... seemed to have tinnitus.

Obviously I couldn't hear what Brother Cong said clearly, but I could hear every word clearly.

Very contradictory.

But there is still blood flowing in my heart!

Surge!

Flooding towards the limbs and bones!

The worries and worries of the whole day disappeared without a trace in this moment.

Instead, there was a surge of mania...

Looking at her boyfriend who was still talking endlessly to her, suddenly...

She hooked her boyfriend's neck again.
