I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 803 800.105 List

Liu Momo revealed the rules of Hollywood to Xu Xin.

In fact, if you think about it, you can understand... Indeed, so many people are counting on Hollywood...or on the labor unions for their livelihood. The market determines purchasing power, and scripts are the most important part of the film industry system. If you just look for a needle in a haystack, something is wrong.

Just like she said, you may want to buy some scripts, but no one else will sell them to you.

This is the rule.

If you buy the script, you don’t have to shoot it.

But friendship is necessary.

From this point of view, Hollywood is actually a humane society in some respects.

The two of them picked up the script and chatted for a while, and it was almost noon.

Liu Momo then asked:

"Should I take you back? Or should we have dinner together?"

"Let's go home and eat."

"I have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't go to Beverly... Then I'll take you back. By the way, if I receive a good script..."

Before she finished speaking, Xu Xin smiled and nodded:

"give it to me."

Liu Momo was stunned.

smiled and said:

"good."

Regardless of whether there is a schedule or not, if Sister Mo wants to shoot, he will definitely not refuse.

And the priority is much higher.

…

"Why don't you go home and sit down?"

"No, I'll get busy with things over there."

"good."

Xu Xin nodded goodbye.

After her car turned around and left, she walked directly to her home.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw GIGI and Nuannuan running past him crazily.

Startled him.

At this time, someone said hello to him:

"Hi, Xu."

Xu Xin turned his head and said with a smile:

"Hello, Vanessa."

Then I looked around... with a bit of regret.

Kobe didn't come.

But he was too "smart" to ask any questions.

When I was chatting in bed with my wife last night, the two of them were still talking... I always felt that Vanessa and Kobe were in a strange state, very much like a "superficial couple" who seemed to be in harmony but yet apart from each other.

It's not easy for him to ask questions about other people's private matters.

On Vanessa's side, without Kobe, she obviously had more words to say, and said with a smile:

"I hope I didn't disturb you."

"Of course not. GIGI is very cute~haha~"

Looking at the little girl who had already run into the yard and was holding a basketball that she got from nowhere, teaching Nuannuan and Yangyang to play, Xu Xin walked to the open kitchen with a smile.

Looking at his wife who was cooking, he asked:

"Where's the old wolf?"

"He walked on the front foot and you came back on the back foot. At noon, he made an appointment with a band member for dinner. He said he was going to perform here."

"oh oh."

Xu Xin nodded and didn't ask what to eat for lunch.

Instead, he came to Vanessa, who was already standing at the door of the backyard.

After all, he is a guest, and as the host, he must accompany him and take care of him.

What's more, the three children are quite happy in the back garden.

GIGI is only 5 years old, but whether her dribbling movements are good or her "charisma", you can actually see the shadow of Kobe.

Even though he actively avoided the taboo, he couldn't help but praise:

"Really similar to Kobe."

"……Um."

Vanessa nodded and said:

"It's a pity that you can't live here permanently. In our area, GIGI has been missing a younger brother or sister to accompany her, and other people's children are too big. Before going to bed last night, she took the initiative and said that she would bring a basketball with her tomorrow. NUNU plays with Sunny. If they can grow up together, they will definitely become very good friends."

"Of course we can grow up together."

Xu Xin smiled and said:

"Furthermore, I firmly believe that friendship will not deteriorate with time or distance. On the contrary, sometimes, proper distance will actually make the longing for each other more pure. Wait until NUNU and Sunny are twelve or thirteen years old , GIGI will become a very cool sister who leads them to play.

They can travel together, go camping, pursue the things they are interested in, and discover many beautiful things in the world. After all, the three children are essentially from different cultures. This uniqueness allows each other to discover more wonderful things in the world. "

"..."

Vanessa couldn't help but glance at him, and said sincerely with a smile:

"Xu, you will definitely be a good father."

"Haha, thank you for your compliment. Vanessa~"

Xu Xin, who knew that it was not necessary to be modest when talking to people here, but to be straightforward, nodded and admitted this.

But……

"I'm divorcing Kobe."

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched...

My head felt "buzzing", and I looked at her unconsciously, with my mouth wide open... That expression seemed to say:

"very!?"

But Vanessa showed a smile and said with a smile:

"Your expression is the same as when Yang heard the news this morning."

"...????"

Looking at Xu Xin's confused look, Vanessa shook her head slightly:

"Actually, this is not a secret. At least among the people who came yesterday, our friends who have a good relationship with us all know it well. And the reason why I tell you and Yang is because although we have known each other for a short time, I know it very well. I want to be your friend, so I don’t want to keep it. In fact, I am the only one living in the house here, and Kobe is not here. He lives in another place."

"Well……"

Xu Xin subconsciously opened his mouth to say something.

But I don’t know what to say.

Our friendship is not that deep yet... What's more, this kind of thing is between a husband and wife, and there is a limit to what others can do to help.

But... I bought it for nothing?

After thinking about it, he could only ask:

"Can I ask what the reason is?"

He really couldn't understand a man who could accompany Kobe through the Eagle County incident, telling everyone, "My husband made a mistake, but he is definitely not a sinner. I know he cheated, but I also firmly believe that everything he said is true." "This is definitely not a crime." How could the woman who accompanied Kobe through the lowest point in his life... get divorced?

After hearing this, Vanessa lowered her voice as she looked at her daughter, who was playing "Happy Health Ball" with Nuannuan and Yangyang:

"Xu, I actually envy you."

"Well……"

"Just in the morning, when I was chatting with Yang, I asked her... Of course, I didn't mean any offense, but after I told her about it, she also asked me the reason and expressed confusion. I just let her understand my situation."

"..."

Xu Xin said nothing because he knew that the other party must have something more to say.

Just listen to Vanessa say:

"Xu, I asked Yang, I said: Suppose Xu cheated, what would you do?"

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

I thought to myself, sister, you really know how to ask questions.

"What she said is..."

Hearing this, Vanessa turned to look at him.

That look in his eyes was full of...

how to say.

Not envy, not jealousy.

On the contrary, it smells a bit...ridiculous.

"She said she couldn't imagine you cheating on me."

"I thought her answer was that she was going to kill me."

Xu Xin couldn't help laughing.

But Vanessa shook her head seriously:

"No, Xu, I can tell. Yang wasn't joking when she answered this question. She told me seriously that she couldn't imagine you cheating."

Speaking of this, a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes:

"It's such a magical country. It's hard to imagine your devotion to marriage..."

have to.

Put our old Xu directly into the role of a role model representing the country.

Although he wanted to say that not all good men in China were good...but now that he was a "model", he could only hold on to this "medal".

"But what about my husband? During the Eagle County incident, everyone accused my husband of being a criminal. Some people advised me to divorce and told me that we did not do property justice. I would get a lot of money after divorcing him... But I know that I don’t want money, I love him, and if I can’t protect him and stand by him at this time, then he may collapse.”

"..."

"Later, when the storm subsided, he once said that he would never make any mistakes again. He would give his soul to me so that I could trust him 100%... But, Xu, do you know? I have a list in my hand .A list of 105 people.”

Xu Xin felt something in his heart and asked subconsciously:

"This list..."

"Yes, this is a cheating list."

"..."

In Xu Xin's silence, the face of the woman in front of him was full of sarcasm:

"The man who once said he would give his soul to me has slept with 105 women in the past few years."

"..."

"The most ironic thing is that I have to hide this matter from Natalia and Gianna. Even when I was most sad, I didn't know who to talk to about this matter. Xu, I am especially grateful to you and Yang, I haven’t had such a relaxed conversation with a friend in a while.”

"..."

His silence was not intentional.

But I really don’t know what to say.

Fortunately, at this time, Yang Mi came out to rescue him:

"It's time to eat."

Seeing his wife wearing insulated gloves on her hands and squatting down to open the oven, Xu Xin subconsciously said:

"You put it there and I'll pick it up."

As he spoke, he said to Vanessa:

"Let's eat first."

"OK."

Vanessa smiled and nodded, calling the children in the yard to come over and wash their hands.

Xu Xin just spoke in Chinese, which she couldn't understand.

But she saw that after he said those words, he quickly walked to the oven, took Yang's heat-insulating gloves, squatted down and took out a stew pot from the oven.

In an instant, she understood the meaning of the Chinese sentence.

There was a look of envy in his eyes.

This may be the reason why Yang Hui said... He couldn't imagine Xu cheating.

Thinking of this, her eyes became a little more sad.

But all this was covered up with the arrival of GIGI.

"Ah~it smells so good."

Listening to her daughter's words, Vanessa smiled softly and said:

"Okay, go wash your hands and take your brother and sister with you."

…

GIGI really likes Yang Mi’s cooking.

After one meal, Vanessa wanted to take her home to take some kind of gastric power chewable tablets to aid digestion, for fear that the child would suffer from indigestion.

Therefore, she left directly after eating.

However, after asking about their time, they made an appointment to visit her home in the evening.

Yang Mi happily agreed. After all, Nuan Nuan and Yang Yang also liked GIGI. The three siblings had been having trouble all morning.

After even finishing the meal, Yangyang took a fork, sat on his child's seat and began to doze off.

Didn't even finish the meal.

After the father-in-law and mother-in-law took the two children to bed, the couple finally got some free time and sat by the pool chatting.

Xu Xin lit a cigarette, looked at the rippling water in the swimming pool that looked particularly blue in the sun, and said to Yang Mi:

"Vanessa just told me that she was getting divorced..."

"Well, we talked a lot this morning."

Yang Mi nodded...then shook her head:

"I really can't think of it. That's a list of 105 people..."

"No. With 105 people, it would take a year to sleep for one person every three days."

Xu Xin subconsciously spoke.

"Um???"

Yang Mi, who originally wanted to say "How did she master it?" was speechless:

"Brother, what do you mean?"

Xu Xingang, who realized that he had said something wrong, wanted to explain.

As a result, my wife said:

"How can it be three days? Including playing games, including going home to be with my wife... It would take two years for these 105 people to come around. Home, away, back-to-back, etc. are not included."

"..."

The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched crazily a few times, and he nodded slightly:

"Sister, you still have a life."

Yang Mi snorted proudly and hooked Xu Xin's hand that was hanging outside the lounge chair:

"Will you cheat?"

"You should ask yourself this."

Xu Xin rolled his eyes:

"If you have the guts, don't delete He Shishi's WeChat messages. What's the point of clearing the chat history?"

"It's just like you don't understand. My phone has a small memory and is stuck, isn't it?"

"Just make excuses~"

Xu Xin knocked her hand away angrily.

But he was immediately pulled back.

"Anyway, we just need to be good together. Besides... I'm going to cheat, so what's the grade of that girl across from you? Is she better looking than you? Can she fight better than you? Is she in better shape than you? Is there such a perfect woman in this world?"

"Stop giving me eye drops."

Yang Mi couldn't help but pinched her husband's cheek:

"Your little mouth is really sweeter than Paris."

However, she did not continue to dwell on this issue.

Unexpected things must be measured in real terms... To put it bluntly, for some things, actions are much more valuable than words.

Besides, don’t the old wolf of the wheel and the wise man have their own masters~

Leaning on the recliner, she sighed:

"Sigh...I suddenly don't want to have contact with Vanessa."

"Why?"

"I'm afraid that I've unknowingly contracted some bad habits. Don't you know? For women, divorce is like an infectious disease. When a friend around you divorces, it's very easy to have a chain reaction. It's scary~"

"But Nuannuan and Yangyang like to play with GIGI."

"That's right...it's just that she may not talk to you much. But when she was with me, she never stopped talking. Lao Lang was teaching a few children to play the piano, and she was chatting with me here. . Hey, you know, how chaotic the lives of NBA players are... You can’t even imagine..."

Her words were like a ruthless fork, cruelly piercing Xu Xin's "fantasy" about many of his favorite stars.

But I have to say...

It’s so interesting to hear gossip!

Especially a "big boss" of Vanessa's level.

Her gossips were basically things that Kobe had seen or heard.

What he said from his wife's mouth was like tearing off the NBA's fig leaf.

The gossip between the two of them was not over until Yang Mi finished her glass of water and started to feel thirsty.

Finally the topic came back.

"What about Kobe and Vanessa?"

"I don't know, cold salad."

After saying that, Xu Xin couldn't help but sigh:

"well……"

"What's wrong?"

"No one is perfect."

Yang Mi was stunned and nodded slightly:

"No."

When Xu Xin first came to the United States, he experienced this completely different social culture.

can only say……

It is indeed a free America.

Although he was here... he really found that the level of magic here was... really extraordinary.

…

Xu Xin rested for a whole week in Los Angeles.

During this week, Yang Mi and Vanessa became friends who talked about everything. Nuannuan and Yangyang learned the pronunciation of the celestial title "sister" and the meaning of "La Wuyou Jiji, Misi You Jiji" English.

After a week's rest, he finally came out again, carrying a box of sun-scorched films, and found an editing company called "Cinnati Film and Television Production Company".

This company named Cincinnati is naturally not an unknown person.

They have collaborated on many Chinese-language films, including Cheng Long and Jet Li. Moreover, the editors there also understand Chinese, and they also have their own branch in Xiangjiang.

Xu Xin found them, who happened to be their professional counterparts.

Moreover, because Xu Xin had already figured out the editing ideas during the shooting time of the previous movie.

So when he gave the other party to edit the film, he had everything prepared.

If you have the director's ideas, then it's easy.

First rough cut the story line, then fine cut.

The people in Cincinnati expect to have the film ready in early December.

Xu Xin estimated that after receiving the finished film, plus the time for revision, the editing of the entire film might be completed before Christmas.

It just so happened that Yang Mi was also on holiday over Christmas, so he could take time off to return to China and make arrangements for dubbing.

Don’t miss this year’s Langlang day and let’s go to Switzerland for vacation together.

The timing was perfect.

The busy month of October has come to an end.

On October 29, the NBA regular season begins.

That day is the Los Angeles Lakers vs. the Sacramento Kings at home.

Kobe seemed to know that GIGI always liked to come to Xu Xin's house to play these days, so he sent three game tickets.

The Lakers' first row.

Unfortunately, Yang Mi was about to start filming and couldn't come.

He took his old father-in-law and Cheng Hu with him.

During the warm-up session before the start, Kobe, who was slightly sweaty on his forehead, as the face of the Los Angeles Lakers, greeted the guests present today as usual.

As the cameras followed him, after greeting people including Oscar winner Jack Nicholson, the most famous Lakers fan, he looked around, saw Xu Xin, and walked over directly.

"May."

Xu Xin stood up with a smile, shook hands with him, and hugged him.

"Welcome."

"Come on, Kobe."

"OK."

Kobe smiled and nodded, and then suddenly said:

"Would you like to have something to eat together after this is over?"

Xu Xin was stunned...

Then he seemed to understand something and nodded with a smile:

"sure, no problem."

"OK, brother, see you in the locker room after the game."

People around Kobe were obviously a little surprised when they heard that he invited a very strange Asian man to the Lakers locker room.

Flashlights flashed quickly around the two of them.

But Kobe didn't say much. After the agreement was made, he said hello to the others and then retreated into the passage.

The game is about to begin.

But Xu Xin knew it very well...

What we're going to have for dinner tonight doesn't seem to be that important.

The important thing is... after dinner, he may have to send Kobe home.

This is true...

Tsk.

Brother (BRO), your abacus...

Well done.
