I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 83 081. Restraint because I like it

When Assistant Lin walked to Xu Xin's room, he found that the door was open.

He was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he knocked on the door politely:

"Dong dong."

Xu Xin looked up and saw him standing at the door, and stood up with a smile:

"Assistant Lin."

"Hello, Teacher Xu."

"No, no, no, just call me Xiao Xu."

Xu Xin quickly walked out from behind the desk, and Assistant Lin also saw Yang Mi sitting up from the bed.

After entering the house, I closed the door and looked inside...

The bed was not made...

I don’t know if the housekeeper didn’t come to tidy the house, or if it was “messy” after tidying it up.

But he didn't ask, he just walked up to Yang Mi with the script in his hand.

"Hello, Teacher Lin, I am Yang Mi. We just met...just call me Mi Mi."

Yang Mi didn't dare to let this person call her teacher...

Just kidding.

It will offend people.

Assistant Lin also smiled and nodded naturally:

"Hello Mimi...that's it, Teacher Xu..."

"Xiao Xu!"

"...Teacher Xu Xin."

"……All right."

Xu Xin was completely speechless, but saw Assistant Lin saying with a smile:

"The script here is the script of "Jiang Chan", an important supporting role in "The Golden Armor"."

"..."

Buzz!

Yang Mi felt like her brain was beating and her brain was about to boil.

And Xu Xin was also confused...

Looking at Assistant Lin blankly:

"Jiang Chan? I looked at the cast list. Isn't it played by an actor named Li Man?"

"right."

Assistant Lin responded and continued:

"But this actor... Teacher Xu, let me tell you two the truth. Just don't say it outside, okay?"

"...Okay, Assistant Lin, don't worry, we will never tell anyone about this matter."

There was still an indelible shock on his face, but Xu Xin gave his assurance right away.

After receiving Xu Xin's reply, Assistant Lin nodded:

"It's like this... Li Man arrived in Hengdian last night, and then... he was bitten by a mosquito on his eye, and he had an allergic reaction. He is currently in the hospital, but if the injury is serious... Mr. Xu, you can ask Brother Shen about it , I haven’t received the news yet.”

"Well……"

"???"

Under Yang Mi's confused gaze, Assistant Lin continued:

"But I heard that allergic reactions are quite severe, and the mosquitoes here are quite poisonous... Then to be on the safe side, Director Zhang ordered to give Mimi a copy of Jiang Chan's script. But it doesn't mean that the candidate for this role has been changed. If If Li Man recovers well later, then Mimi's role should be one of the medicine ladies, but if not...Mimi."

He looked at Yang Mi and expressed his meaning in a solemn tone:

"This is Director Cheng's special instruction. Read the script carefully and ask if you don't understand anything. You don't have much time, so you must grasp this role. At the same time... don't tell your management team about this yet. We ask for confidentiality, but don’t worry, in terms of remuneration, we will give you the same conditions as Li Man, okay?"

"..."

"..."

Yang Mi stared blankly at the script in front of her:

"Jiang...the character Jiang Chan..."

She doesn't quite understand yet.

Just listen to Xu Xin explain:

"Have you watched "Thunderstorm"? Her character is Lu Sifeng in "Thunderstorm"."

"..."

Gudu~

Yang Mi started to swallow her saliva.

Just kidding...how could someone studying acting not watch "Thunderstorm"?

After understanding the role of this character from Xu Xin's explanation, she didn't dare to look at Xu Xin.

He...why is he so...

What about me...

Could it be that he is really the security guard downstairs in my company?

We... probably don't have any engagement...

The consequence of a huge ecstasy being tightly suppressed is the uncontrollable wandering of thoughts.

Seeing that she was in a daze, Xu Xin said:

"Okay, hurry up and take over the script...Assistant Lin, my daughter grew up in the countryside. She has long hair and short knowledge..."

"……Ha ha."

Assistant Lin was amused by this joke.

But he still said to Xu Xin:

"It must be kept secret, Teacher Xu, the role of Jiang Chan... is very important, and involves many things..."

"Don't worry, as long as others don't tell me, if the news leaks out, it will be mine."

Xu Xin gave his guarantee.

But after making the promise, exchanging greetings and thanking each other, and saying goodbye to each other, she turned her back to Yang Mi...

His brows furrowed.

…

At the entrance of Hengdian Town Hospital.

Assistant Shen stood at the entrance of the hospital, his eyes falling on the girl wearing sunglasses, a cap and a mask.

Looking at the red spots on her neck and the edges of her sunglasses, she remained silent.

After being escorted into the car by several people, a middle-aged woman walked over among the people escorted just now:

"Director Shen, let's go to Dongyang to take a look now... Don't worry, it won't be a big problem."

As she spoke, she reached for her bag.

An envelope was taken out from inside:

"Thank you, Director Shen, for worrying about me for so long and delaying your lunch. This is a small thought, please keep it."

"No no no..."

Assistant Shen quickly shook his head.

But the middle-aged woman seemed to have met her a long time ago and said:

"Don't be polite to us. We still have to talk to Mr. Zhang. It's really troublesome for you."

At the mention of "Mr. Zhang", Assistant Shen also had a smile on his face:

"We are all our own people, so you are even more welcome."

"Oh, please take it quickly and give it some thought."

After forcing the envelope into Assistant Shen's hand, the middle-aged woman said hello and quickly walked to the business car, which drove directly outside the hospital.

inside the car.

The girl who took off her sunglasses and mask had tears in her eyes:

"Sister Liu...Assistant Shen, have you accepted it...wuwu..."

"Take it, take it, don't worry, I also mentioned Mr. Zhang, he will understand."

The middle-aged woman looked at the girl who was crying, her eyes full of suppressed boiling anger.

While the girl was crying, she asked again:

"...Then what if Director Zhang sends someone over to ask about the doctor's condition?"

"Don't worry, I've also given you a red envelope for the doctor... When the results come out, we'll talk to Mr. Zhang about this. Don't worry... put the medicine on first..."

Facing her comfort, the girl cried even harder:

"But the doctor just now said that it would take at least half a month...wuwuwuwuwu..."

"Stop crying, baby, be good, don't cry, don't cry..."

While comforting, she turned her head and glanced at the hospital.

When he saw Assistant Shen walking directly to the car with the envelope, he breathed a sigh of relief.

…

"Dean Zheng, it's me, Xiao Shen~"

In the car, Assistant Shen held the phone and spoke in an unusually polite tone:

"Hey, yes... Director Zhang started the show here, so I came over... That's it, Director Zheng, an actor in our crew was bitten by a mosquito, and his face became swollen. ...Then the doctor from our hospital showed it to me...I want to know the situation. Can you help me ask which doctor it is? I will go and visit."

As he spoke, he listened to the person on the other end of the phone say a few words, and his tone was filled with gratitude:

"Thank you so much, Dean Zheng... um, ok, when you come back from Jinhua, we will have a good drink... Haha, ok, then I will wait for your news... um, ok, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Assistant Shen opened the envelope.

A wad of red.

It is estimated that there are about 5,000.

He didn't count, so he took out a small portion and handed it to the driver:

"Take it."

"Thank you, Brother Shen~"

The driver smiled and nodded. After collecting the money, he asked:

"Brother Shen, should I find a doctor for you?... After all, you know many doctors. Isn't it appropriate for others to see you?"

"Well, go and ask what's going on. With Dean Zheng here, they don't dare to lie."

"Don't worry."

…

moment.

The driver returned to the car and said directly without waiting for Assistant Shen to ask:

"An allergic reaction caused by insect bite dermatitis, Brother Shen. It's quite serious. The doctor said that most of this kind of allergic reaction is... caused by the bite of Anopheles sinensis. It varies from person to person. Some people just put a bag on it. , but some people can cause allergies. And this Li Man’s allergic reaction was quite severe, and he also had some fever... but it is not life-threatening, but it will take at least ten days and a half to recover as before..."

"……So long?"

"Yes, the doctor said she probably got a blister infection caused by scratching."

"..."

Assistant Shen thought for a while and nodded:

"Have you told the doctor?"

"Don't worry, I've already said that, even if Dean Zheng is here, he won't dare to do anything wrong. I promise that he won't say anything to anyone."

"...Okay, let's go back."

"Um."

The car started and Assistant Shen made a call:

"Dudu, hello, Xiao Shen, how's the situation?"

"Director Zhang, I asked clearly. The situation is not too optimistic. He is definitely fine, but because of the blister infection caused by scratching the wound, the doctor said it would be at least ten and a half months... Li Man's agent did not let me follow him. After she came down, she stuffed a red envelope into my mouth and gave the doctor a red envelope. But I called Director Zheng in advance to find out. And when she came out, I saw... her face was swollen. Now, I have that kind of rash all over my neck...it’s pretty serious.”

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Yimou frowned.

After thinking for a while, he said:

"Okay, I understand, come back."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Assistant Shen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, lit a cigarette and gave another one to the driver.

The two opened the window and puffed away the smoke.

The driver suddenly asked:

"Brother Shen, what should we do with the character Jiang Chan?"

"Who knows~"

Assistant Shen shook his head, but suddenly said:

"In the past few days...you, Xiao Yao and the others should tell each other about the beautiful girl I personally brought here yesterday, remember?"

"Uh-huh."

"Get close to her."

"...Eh, no problem. But...Brother Shen, what do you mean..."

"I don't know, but your brother Lin just called me and said something... Just listen to me, it's absolutely right."

"OK!"

…

"Hey, do you still remember the last time I told you that I was watching Liu Tianxian and the others filming a fighting scene, and then I said that I also wanted to learn martial arts?"

In the small restaurant at the entrance of the Guomao Building, Yang Mi looked at Xu Xin sitting opposite and asked while scooping a spoonful of wontons.

After Assistant Lin left just now, Yang Mi herself fell into a state of great ecstasy and confusion.

This opportunity came too suddenly and too...inexplicably.

She didn't know what to say or what to do.

On the contrary, it was Xu Xin who directly put it forward:

"Shall we go eat wontons?"

So, the two of them went downstairs.

Along the way, she tried to bring up what happened several times, but Xu Xin tried to cover it up.

She didn't know why.

Obviously... I was able to be hit by this great luck. At least 90% of it is due to you.

Why don't you want to... tell me these things?

She didn't understand.

After confirming that Xu Xin really didn't want to talk, he sat in the restaurant and simply started another topic.

Xu Xin, who seemed a little worried, was stunned...

After thinking for a while, he nodded:

"Remember, you said you thought they were cool when you watched them filming."

"Yeah. Then...let me ask you, do you know Teacher Yu Chenghui?"

"who?"

Xu Xin asked in confusion.

As soon as Yang Mi looked at him, she knew that he hadn't heard of him and continued:

"There is only one teacher in our crew who plays Medicine Master Dongxiehuang."

"Um...what happened to him?"

"A few days ago, before you came, I went early in the morning and saw Teacher Yu boxing there..."

"...The person who can play Huang Yaoshi must be quite old, right?"

"Teacher Yu was born in 40 years."

"...Sixty-six?"

Xu Xin's eyes were full of surprise:

"Can an old man in his sixties still box?"

"right!"

Yang Mi nodded vigorously:

"Do you know what Xingyiquan is?"

"Yue Fei's Thirteen Spears of Wu Mu, taking off the spear and turning it into a fist, is Xingyiquan. It seems to be explained this way, I remember I heard it said in the storytelling."

"Yes, yes, that's it... I just saw Teacher Yu playing there, and he was... so handsome, you know? He didn't seem to move much, and then... his body would make a trembling movement like POPPING. , just... this kind of thing."

She came up with a... in Xu Xin's opinion, a mechanical dance posture that was a bit like being electrocuted, with the whole body trembling.

"...Aren't you a jazz dancer?"

"I know a little bit too...don't interrupt, just listen to me."

The girl shook her head:

"I just watched him use that kind of movement, and then matched it with a... Humph! Ha! That kind of breathing when punching... Then I was curious. Teacher Yu is very good to us children, very kind. I asked him What is this? He told me it was Fa Jin in Xingyi Quan... I said I could do it, so I did a few moves for him. He was quite happy and said that I was a good candidate for martial arts training... and then this I checked the information a few days ago, and I found out... Do you know what Teacher Yu is called?"

"……Grandmaster?"

"Juggernaut!"

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched...

"Do you know Blade Storm?"

"Eh~~~~"

The girl's face was filled with disgust:

"I knew that when I said this title, you had to lean on Warcraft... Let me tell you the truth, he is really called the Sword Saint~"

"...Okay, what next? Do you want to learn from him?"

"Yes! He likes me quite a lot and said that when he returns to Yanjing, he will let me go to him if he wants to learn. Will you and I go see him then?"

"What are you looking at? Practicing martial arts?"

Xu Xin shook his head without saying anything:

"Please let me go. Haven't you ever heard of storytelling or read novels? People practice martial arts since they were young... Let's not talk about me. How can you learn to become a monk by the way? After all, martial arts is not Are they all routines? Wear brocade-lined clothes and practice routines with a sword..."

"...You really don't understand anything!"

Suddenly, Yang Mi’s sense of superiority emerged:

"Teacher Yu and I talked a lot. He said that real martial arts is different from routines. It can kill people..."

"So, instead of being a good actor, our big star Yang wants to become a knight?"

"I told you that it's not true... Anyway, you can accompany me to take a look at that time. Really... I was dumbfounded when Teacher Yu's Xingyi boxing came out... Mainly because I lack this, you know Right? Have you never seen Liu Tianxian do moves? Teacher Yu said that she has a foundation, but like me, she has a foundation in dance. But she works really hard... I only found out after I came here. In order to play the role of Little Dragon Girl, I spent many months in Wudang Mountain last year."

"What are you doing? Learning martial arts?"

"right!"

The girl nodded heavily:

"Learning martial arts from some teachers, and then... the first time I saw her fight scene, she was holding a water sleeve... just that move... swipe it out, and the smell came out immediately. And her and Huang Xiaoming's That sword dance with two swords... Let me tell you, I used to think that she was just lucky. She became famous only after being selected into the crew of "Sword and Fairy"...

But this time I can see the hard work behind her... the kind that others can't see, she really put in the hard work. So... I also want to learn. I really made an agreement with Teacher Yu. He also likes me very much and asked me to learn from him after I return to Yanjing... This time I finally understand. There may be someone in this circle. You can become famous overnight, but if you want to be popular for a long time...it really takes a lot of hard work! "

Hearing this, Xu Xin gradually figured out that something was wrong, and asked curiously:

"Why do I think...there is something in your words?"

"Um!"

Unexpectedly, when faced with Xu Xin's question, the girl nodded sincerely:

"From today on, I will work harder than anyone else! ... You are so encouraging to me. As soon as I stand next to you, I feel like those unattainable things that I couldn't even think about before are coming towards me. Hit on the head!...But I was so afraid that I wouldn't be able to catch it. Do you understand? If I couldn't catch it, it would hit me on the body and it would kill me..."

"..."

Understanding the seriousness in her eyes, Xu Xin chuckled:

"Ha~ ok. So...how do you want to work hard? Do you have any plans? For example, why do you sleep at midnight and wake up at five..."

"..."

The seriousness in the girl's eyes gradually turned into embarrassment.

In Xu Xin's gaze that also gradually turned speechless, she shook her head:

"I haven't thought about it yet...but I have to work hard!"

As a result, when she saw Xu Xin holding back a smile, she also laughed:

"Hey...did you think I was hot for three minutes?"

"That's not true..."

"It's okay, you can think whatever you want! But if I know something for sure, I will never look back!... Do you know why I want to tell you this?"

"Why?"

"Because... I'm afraid you think I'm cold..."

"Well……"

"But no, I will set a goal for myself when I get back soon... So don't think I'm cold, just like you were busy in Yanjing... that time."

Because there were so many people, she couldn't speak loudly about the Olympics.

"It's probably the same as that. So...understand? I'm not joking with you, I really have to work hard! But...as long as I finish my work, I will definitely be there if you come to see me, okay?"

Xu Xin did not give a particularly strong response to her... semi-revealing and semi-intentional remarks.

Just nodded:

"I understand the truth, but I think you seem to have made a mistake."

"……What?"

Yang Mi was a little puzzled, and then she saw the short-haired boy opposite said with a look full of doubts:

"You don't think...I'm also very free, do you?"

"Well……"

"Look... don't mention anything else, just talk about what happened just now. If it happens, you will be on the set, and I will be there too. If you are gone, I will still be there. When you finish filming, I will still be there, And maybe you're already asleep, but I'm still in a meeting... I seem... much busier than you, right?"

"..."

The girl was startled.

She looked at him blankly, her eyes a little incomprehensible.

After a few seconds, she said without thinking:

"You have a strong determination to win..."

"What do you think?"

After eating all the wontons, he started eating meatloaf with wonton soup and cold vegetables.

As he picked up the bowl to drink the soup, he said:

"I didn't get used to playing with Jay Chou, and we ended up 2-0."

"Bang..."

The girl dropped her spoon, opened her mouth subconsciously, and looked straight at him:

"What!? You and Jay Chou played together!?"

She really couldn't hold back her movement, causing several young people in a snack shop who came over in a hurry to order their meals to turn their heads.

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

You melon-skinned woman!

"Eat your food quickly."

Shaking his head speechlessly, he concentrated on the cake in front of him.

In fact, he understood Yang Mi's thoughts.

Just like the so-called "wangfu" words.

Indeed, it seemed that... after she came to him, she was really taken along by him inexplicably. From an actor who had to pay favors everywhere for Guo Xiang, she became an important supporting role in such a big production all of a sudden. to the point...

Xu Xin could understand the panic in her heart.

But it was precisely because of this panic that he didn't want to talk about these things.

Because...he really likes this girl.

Maybe it was that dream, or maybe he really got drunk at the party dinner last year and had an epiphany about life after a hangover.

Some people...

With just one look, you can probably tell what kind of personality the other person has.

Especially girls.

Take Sister Wei for example, from the nameless care they showed when they first went to apply for work permits to the way they chatted and got along, he established the image of her as a smart sister who can be relied on.

Not to mention anything else, the work permit handed over from her yesterday has proved that Sister Wei has a delicate mind underneath her seemingly carefree appearance.

Another example is what happened in the Golden Armor crew.

No one thought that sister Gong Li had a cold expression, as if she was angry.

But...he had a feeling that Gong Li was unhappy with someone.

Then Zhang Weiping was nowhere to be seen in the afternoon...

Through some details, he further proved one thing, that is, the relationship between Gong Li and Zhang Weiping is definitely incompatible.

Another example is Jay Chou's assistant.

Within a few words, Xu Xin felt it... Although there was some unpleasantness, the other party's defense of Jay Chou was sincere.

He didn't dare to say how accurate he was in reading people.

But at least... I can carry it myself.

And as he carried it, the girl in front of him became the one step he didn't dare to cross.

He could see clearly what this girl was like.

Smart, smart, and has his own very firm subjective thoughts and character.

She will definitely mix well in this circle in the future.

Because it was a glimpse in a dream, a conclusion drawn from getting along with reality.

People like her...

It is the kind of intelligence that can truly be used in the right place.

But it was precisely because of this intelligence that he himself was a little worried.

I'm worried that this girl won't be able to understand... what this classmate named "Xu Xin" did to her now... exactly what it means.

After that dream, Xu Xin really felt...

I can no longer be a scumbag.

Because the self in the dream... is indeed quite annoying in some aspects.

He doesn't want to be like that.

Therefore, he felt that...the object...or the partner should be a kind of love that goes both ways.

He really meant to help this girl, otherwise he wouldn't have said "introducing Director Zhang to her" to Wang Haihu yesterday.

And his original intention was to make this girl feel better on the set.

But what happened from yesterday to now...whether it was the audition or the role of Jiang Chan...

It seemed to catch him off guard.

The development of things exceeded his expectation.

to be honest……

It’s not that others give less.

But... giving too much.

Looking for a girl...

The meaning behind this title is too strong.

But the irony is...the emotional entanglement between the first generation Mou girl and Zhang Yimou seems to have become a very interesting metaphor.

Foreshadowing Xu Xin...

In other words, it forced him to think about a question.

He likes this girl, it's true.

And what this girl sometimes reveals quietly...

Do you like it? Or is it a passive acceptance?

If they like each other, Xu Xin hopes to stay together forever.

Because he understands what it means to be strong and sweet.

But every time this girl talked to him about "first love", he always felt that she had an impulsive love personality.

Therefore, the worst result may be that the two of them become friends that can last a lifetime.

The best plan is not to show any tendency when the other party is in a state of great ecstasy.

To put it bluntly, at this time, the less likely it is to be like a dry stick meeting a raging fire. As a result, after the flame was extinguished, everyone discovered...

Except for the ashes and holes all over the ground,... nothing was left.

He firmly believed that the other party was not the kind of person who would be unable to get off once his brain got hot.

He also firmly believed that this girl would be able to regain her composure after some time.

After you calm down, talk more and learn more.

Finally, if you understand your own thoughts and the other person's thoughts.

Everything fell into place.

Xu Xin resisted the worst plan.

Therefore, he is avoiding talking about it now because he is working hard for the outcome that he most hopes for...and is the best.

Because I like it, I value it.

Instead of endless regret and emptiness after a night of passion.

He didn't know if others were like this.

It was just after that dream and a deep self-examination...

He feels that this is the most responsible choice for the other party and himself.
