I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

In fact, if we really want to talk about what we are talking about today, it is very simple to sum up.

One sentence can make it clear:

"What a documentary this is."

Although it sounds simple, in fact, it is more like a direction, or "behavior".

Behavior throughout.

Once you figure out what kind of documentary this is, you will have a central idea and backbone based on the existing subject matter. Next, we just need to focus on this point, design the copy, formulate the interview footage, formulate the content of the questions, etc.

So what seems to be summed up in one sentence is actually the most important.

Today is just an initial meeting, so Xu Xin naturally doesn't think these "colleagues" can give him much constructive advice.

Opinions can be raised, but they are still in the exploratory stage.

So, the direction is set and that’s it. The experience of "The Tip of the Tongue" told him that the next series of matters, such as what problems arise, what difficulties are encountered, or how to solve them, etc., will all unfold as the work progresses.

You will definitely encounter problems, but after knowing the definition of this "work" in the mind of the chief director, the minimum "confusion" will no longer exist.

This is particularly important.

After the meeting, Hou Kehuan also gave some symbolic words of encouragement.

Finally, it was time for dinner.

Everyone dispersed.

Before the group was disbanded, Xu Xin created a WeChat group. After adding Nazha, he asked them all to add Nazha as friends, and the girls were added to the group one by one.

Including Hou Kehuan.

The reason why he did this was because he wanted to build some connections for the girl.

Who knows what these people will become in the future?

You can’t go wrong making more friends.

When everyone saw that Xu Xin actually had Nazha's friend, they were not really surprised. Instead, they thought it was natural.

The girl who has been the school beauty for three times in a row is actually very low-key in school...but being low-key doesn't mean she doesn't have her own strength and connections.

In addition, in this session where the filming director can ask questions, a fresh graduate was forced to come and be the host to ask questions. Even if it was behind the scenes... his name must be on the production team at least.

The resume of "working with Director Xu" is definitely the most glorious thing on Nazha's or everyone's resume.

And these people are also master's degree students after all, and they already know some of the things they need to know about human nature.

Then, after Xu Xin exchanged a few words with Teacher Hou, the meeting ended.

Xu Xin sent Hou Kehuang away first, then turned to Nazha who was communicating with everyone in the room and said:

"Nazha, come with me and let me make a friend with you."

Nazha was stunned for a moment, but immediately nodded:

"Okay, Brother Xu."

When they heard the title "Brother Xu", the eyes of the others moved.

I began to mutter in my heart that this Beijing Film Academy beauty is usually too low-key.

It’s true that the buns have fillings but not in the pleats.

…

"Brother Xu, who is it?"

The girl asked curiously as she followed Xu Xin outside.

"You fellow countryman."

"……ah?"

Nazha was stunned and asked subconsciously:

"Fellow?"

"Yes... by the way, what year and month are you in?"

"I...May 2, 1992."

After hearing this, Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

"You two seem to be the same age. But I don't know her birthday. Her name is Dilraba. Her full name is... uh... I forgot. Have you heard of her?"

"No. But I know what her name means."

"What's the meaning?"

"Beloved beauty."

"Yo? That sounds quite gentle. What's your name?"

"A face like a flower."

"..."

Hearing this, Xu Xin, who had been walking downstairs, paused and turned to look at her.

Although he knew the girl's appearance very well, he still couldn't help but nod:

"Well, don't tell me, it's the most suitable name for you."

"……hey-hey."

At some point, there was a blush on the tips of Nazha's ears.

But it didn't last long. Instead, he asked in a rather curious tone:

"Brother Xu, is this girl the protagonist of your next movie?"

I have to admit, this girl knows how to ask questions now.

Most people would ask, "Who is this girl?" or, with a lower emotional intelligence, ask, "What is her relationship with Brother Xu?" The former, if this girl named Dilraba has a great background, then she is so It would seem a bit rude to ask. Not to mention the latter.

Therefore, the girl used a question that seemed the most ridiculous and found the most appropriate way to ask.

Xu Xin said as he went downstairs:

"No, she is a little girl from your sister's company who signed up for a show. She came here to see me today. You two happen to be about the same age and we are fellow villagers. I want to introduce you to her."

"Uh-huh……"

Nazha's eyes moved, but she still responded obediently.

But after walking out of the building, she, who was usually half a step behind Xu Xin, suddenly walked side by side with Xu Xin.

She didn't ask for the other party's information.

Anyway, I'll see you soon.

He just said with a smile:

"Can I have a meal with Brother Xu today?"

Xu Xin glanced at her and said dumbfounded:

"Why do I feel so pitiful for you every time you ask this question? What's wrong? You don't usually eat?"

"No, I eat chaffy vegetables every day~ I'm so pitiful~"

"Hahaha~"

Seeing the girl's playful response, Xu Xin laughed heartily.

"Okay, then you eat more today and feel full, but you have to hold on until I take you to dinner next time."

"Hehe~"

The girl bared her little white teeth and asked with a smile:

"Then can I choose what I like to eat?"

"Okay, what do you want to eat? Tell me."

Hearing Xu Xin's words, the girl's eyes had quietly turned.

After about a second, she said:

"Hmm...Brother Xu, that Sichuan restaurant I told you about last time is really delicious!"

"Just the last time I took you and Yang Zi to eat at Qinchuan Yashe?"

"Yes, his food tastes really good."

"Isn't it right next to the school?"

"Yeah, but it tastes very good. And... mainly because I have classes in the afternoon, and last time I was looking for a book in the library, the book was borrowed by a classmate and was never returned. I asked my aunt to check it. Come on, the deadline for borrowing this book is today at noon. I have to go to the library quickly after dinner to avoid being borrowed by others~"

Hearing this, Xu Xin nodded:

"Okay, then if you want to eat, go to that restaurant."

He's not really picky about what he eats.

Again, if you give an old Shaanxi person a bowl of noodles, you can live.

And he was quite pleased. As he walked, he asked:

"What are you reading recently?"

"Selected Philosophies of Diderot"

Nazha gave a book title with almost no thought.

Xu Xin had never heard of this name, so he just nodded:

"nice?"

"EMMM... To be honest, I can't understand it. It mainly talks about materialist philosophy, opposes the "God theory", denies the existence of God, the theory of the immortality of the soul and other idealist philosophies... For me, it is not only firm but Apart from my atheistic beliefs, in other aspects, I am not a philosophy major, but my empathy is not very deep. I... didn't learn anything, but at least I have finished reading it."

"It's beneficial to open a book. Just like when I read "Utopia", I felt overwhelmed at first, but as I grew older, I actually found that many things in reality can be integrated into the philosophical view of that book. Maybe only in At that moment, you will discover that a book that you can't understand now turned out to have written the truth of the world thousands of years ago... But why do you understand it more and more complicatedly?"

"Isn't that what Brother Xu said? See more, understand more, think more, observe more, and feel more."

"Ha~ good student, I will reward you with a little red flower later."

"Hey hey hey~"

The girl's smile became even brighter.

Soon, Xu Xin took her to the employee parking area, and then Nazha saw a tall girl wearing a baseball cap looking over here.

Then……

"Director Xu!"

She came over quickly.

After Nazha heard this title, her eyes narrowed slightly.

He took the initiative to stop and fell one position behind Xu Xin.

Then I began to observe this "beloved beauty".

First impression, very beautiful.

Although she is somewhat narcissistic, there are not many girls who are really beautiful enough to put pressure on her.

But the "beauty" in front of her is obviously one of them.

Her neck is... very long.

Although she is not as tall as herself, her slender swan-like neck gives her a visual advantage.

She is tall, has long legs, and has good-looking breasts... and most importantly, her eyes are big.

Smart and spiritual.

As for the neck, I lost.

In terms of body proportions... evenly matched.

In terms of leg shape, she also chose tight black trousers + sneakers. Nazha knew...it was not clear at this time. Only when everyone took off their shoes and stood on the ground did they know whose knees were closer to the ground. .

As for appearance...

"Well, come, let me introduce you. Your fellow countryman, Gulinazha."

"Nazha, this is Dilraba."

With Xu Xin's introduction, Dilireba had actually noticed this girl for a long time.

and……

Not a coincidence.

She knew Gulinaza.

The most beautiful Beijing Film Academy beauty in history.

When that bare-faced interview photo appeared, it immediately became a "god".

And when I became a school beauty on stage, my photos were compared with others. In the forum where the show was held, someone posted: "Is it Dilire Barme?" Or Gulinaza? 》

This post was quite popular in Tieba at that time.

She didn't know if the other party knew about her, but... she knew her.

So, he said hello generously:

"I am Dilireba Dilimulati. Hello, senior sister."

"Gulinazar. Baihetiyar."

Nazha smiled and stretched out her hand.

Xu Xin, who was on the side, listened to the complicated names of the two and looked at the beautiful looks of the two girls, and nodded slightly:

"Well, let's not talk about it. You two are as beautiful as the snow lotuses on Tianshan Mountain."

Hearing this, Nazha turned around with a smile and asked:

"Have Brother Xu seen the real Tianshan Snow Lotus?"

"Uh... no. I have seen pictures."

"Actually, the snow lotus is not very pretty, and the place where it grows is almost surrounded by bare Gobi. It may be because of its back that it is impressive. But in fact, when Brother Xu went to XJ, it was really If you want to see the most beautiful flowers, you can see apricot blossoms or pear blossoms. They bloom all over the mountains and plains, and they are the most beautiful ones."

"Um...Okay, I'll note this down."

Xu Xin nodded slightly:

"Which one looks better, the apricot blossom or the pear blossom?"

"The pear blossoms are very white. When the wind blows, they fall like waves of flowers. I like pear blossoms~"

"Where's Fatty? Do you like pear blossoms or apricot blossoms?"

Dilraba’s eyes turned into crescent moons:

"I can do it."

"Ha, then you two are as beautiful as pear blossoms. Does this metaphor work?"

"Civet cats will do, too."

"Hahahaha~"

As Nazha answered, Xu Xin smiled and waved:

"Let's go, let's go eat...is there a parking space over there?"

"Yes. The boss sister and I are quite familiar with each other. It won't be a problem if we go and park directly at the door."

"That's okay, get in the car."

The Volvo's lights flashed twice, indicating the door was opening.

Nazha turned to Dilraba and said:

"Then I'll sit in front and lead the way?"

"OK, all right."

Fatty continued to respond with the girl's most youthful smile.

But as he followed the two of them towards the car, he was thinking about it in his mind.

What does it mean?

Establish authority?

Or are you talking about showing off your power?

Although she didn't know exactly where this girl came from... but from what she said, the restaurant for lunch was arranged by her, not Director Xu?

And from what she just said, she wanted to complain.

What about pear blossoms and apricot blossoms? It’s just what Director Xu said?

If you have the ability, you can also correct yourself like this when you are with other great directors.

Return pear blossoms...

As a native of northern Xinjiang, who doesn’t know that the best place to see pear blossoms is in Korla? You, a native of Urumqi, say you like Korla Pear Blossoms, which is five hundred kilometers away?

This majesty... tsk.

A kind of innate intuition told Dilraba that the other party was wary of her, and... was declaring a kind of "sovereignty" in a very obscure way.

Are you so wary of me when we first meet?

Or...are you so afraid of me?

Thinking of this, the expression on the girl's face turned into a chuckle.

The same silence.

But it became more meaningful.

She didn't know what was going on with this Beijing Film Academy beauty, but...she could clearly feel that he was wary of her.

What a coincidence, isn't it?

You are wary of me, and I am wary of you.

Why are you, someone who is not in Sister Mi’s company, so close to Director Xu?

Can we still have dinner together?

Even the restaurants...are all based on your wishes?

You are so powerful, does Sister Mi know?

not to mention……

My sister was born on May 2nd.

No matter what, you still have to have a contract with Tangren for at least three to five years, right?

As for me, Sister Mi signed in personally.

It's normal for you to be wary of me.

After all, those who are near the water and the towers get the moon first.

At this point, I seem to have a greater advantage than you.

Thinking about it in her mind, she obediently got into the car.

Then asked:

"Director Xu, what should we eat for lunch?"

"Call Brother Xu. One of you is Director Xu and the other is Brother Xu. It sounds awkward to me."

After Xu Xin finished speaking, he continued to explain:

"It's very close. There's a Sichuan restaurant nearby. Fatty, can you eat spicy food?"

"Yes, I'm not picky about food. Brother Xu!"

"Well, that's fine."

Xu Xin responded.

And when he asked Dilraba to call "Brother Xu", Nazha's eyes narrowed slightly.

What a coincidence.

Dilraba, who was sitting in the back seat, was also keeping an eye on her.

I happened to see the slightest change in the opponent's eye muscles.

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere in the car was quiet for a second.

Nazha pointed forward:

"Turn right at the intersection, Brother Xu."

And hearing this title...

In other words, when the two of them heard each other calling "Brother Xu", they both thought at the same time.

really.

I do not like her.

…

Perhaps the greatest growth for adults compared to children is learning to disguise.

At least, that's part of growing up.

How does this Sichuan restaurant taste... Actually, Xu Xin thinks it's okay. It's not top-notch, but it's not unpalatable either. It can only be said to be a very ordinary Sichuan food.

But it is located next to a school, and its biggest feature is definitely the amount of food.

The quantity of Kung Pao Chicken made even Xu Xin think it was quite conscientious.

Three people, four dishes were not finished.

I ate all the rice.

The chats between the three of them were mostly about daily life, and sitting in the box also saved these two beauties from the worry of receiving a lot of attention.

After finishing the meal, the two of them added each other on WeChat, smiling happily.

Make an appointment to keep in touch in the future.

But what Xu Xin didn't know was that after adding Nazha to WeChat, Dilraba turned on the "Don't let him see Moments" function.

But Nazha didn't.

After dinner, Xu Xin sent Nazha back to school, and then took Dilraba to Shuangwei.

He actually didn't care much about what these two people were thinking or doing, and he didn't even notice it at all.

After arriving at the company, the makeup artist and stylist took the girl away.

Xu Xin was sitting in Yang Mi's office and resting.

Very quickly, within an hour or so.

Wearing a long high-necked skirt, with her hair slightly permed and partially tied up, the girl walked into the office young and beautiful.

Seeing this, Xu Xin nodded slightly.

In fact, he felt it was more or less formal. After all, tonight was just a premiere. But considering the exposure, this girl's beautiful dress will definitely attract more attention.

So after nodding and approving the makeup artist's work, he said to Dilraba:

"Okay, that's all. Let's go over after dinner and go to the rest room to rest first."

"Yeah, okay, Brother Xu."

The little girl left with a smile on her face.

She also understood that for her, it didn't matter which movie premiere she was going to attend today. What was important was that she was going with Brother Xu tonight.

This is the scene that really deserves the attention of reporters.

…

At early 7 o'clock in the evening, Xu Xin's car arrived at the premiere on time.

Right here at Yanjing Film Factory.

If Yang Mi were here, she would definitely want to revisit her old place.

Because the promotional premiere of "Jinling" was also held here.

One advantage of this place is that most of the people who come in are colleagues. As for whether there are too many people or not, it all depends on Xue Xiaolu's popularity.

Xu Xin arrived neither too early nor too late, when there were many people. After arriving at the film studio, his car began to line up with the vehicles in front of him.

He had no interest in seeing who came today. Instead, he and his wife had been chatting on WeChat.

Until Su Meng reminded:

"Brother Xu, we will be here soon."

Xu Xin then raised his head and glanced in the direction of the short red carpet.

Suddenly he was stunned:

"Isn't that Jin Peida?"

As one of the judges of the first Silk Road Film Festival, Xu Xin naturally knew him.

But Fatty's eyes were a little confused.

In other words...she was quite nervous at the moment.

After Xu Xin recognized his "old friend", he didn't say much. When the car was about to drive to the alighting position, he turned to look at Pang Di.

I just happened to see the little girl swallowing her saliva.

He smiled and said:

"nervous?"

"Hmm...Brother Xu...what should I do in a moment...?"

Although she had asked this question at least three times, she still couldn't help but speak again.

Xu Xin laughed:

"Haha, it's very simple."

In the girl's doubtful eyes, he said easily:

"Just smile."

After saying that, he opened the car door directly.

And when the reporters saw him getting out of the car, their instincts made their hands press the shutter quickly even faster than their brains could react.

Suddenly, the clicking flash light came on.

Even though the red carpet was a bit short, there were really quite a few reporters present today.

And the moment Xu Xin showed up, everyone was destined to start squeezing the camera's memory.

Focus and take pictures.

Then……

Yo?

Who is this girl?

Seeing Xu Xin twist around, join hands, and pick up a... young girl, many people were confused for the first time.

But his vision was immediately taken away by this girl's invincible youthful beauty.

This girl...even among celebrities, she is definitely one of the best.

Although I don’t know the specific information, but...

Not ugly!

Definitely not ugly.

He is tall, fair-skinned, and looks a bit mixed-race...

Where did Xu Xin find such a beautiful girl?

But doubts remain doubts, and the camera in my hand is not very responsive.

Xu Xin, on the other hand, stood in front of the red carpet with a calm expression, and Fatty held his arm.

The two smiled at the camera.

At this time, he heard the reporters’ voices:

"Director Xu, who is that next to you? Can you introduce me?"

Hearing this, Xu Xin glanced in the direction of the sound, thought for a moment, and said:

"The school belle, Dilraba."

After saying that, he turned to Fatty and said:

"Let's go."

In the former, his voice was full of energy.

Not to mention it rhymes.

But in fact, if Yang Mi was here at this moment, she would be very pleased...or surprised at her husband's "maturity".

Because his answer was the most helpful to Fatty on this occasion and at this period, and it was also the answer that was easiest for people to remember.

It's not "young actors" or "newly contracted actors from Shuangwei" or anything like that, but the shortest and quickest answer in this era of rapid information explosion.

Is this girl pretty?

School beauty in theater.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t remember the last name. If you go back and search online, you will definitely be able to find this little girl.

And as long as you search, you will remember the name and her appearance.

What's more, she stood beside Xu Xin, and the two walked the red carpet together.

As for Dilraba, from the moment she was informed by Brother Xu that she was going to walk on the red carpet with him, all the maintenance and preparations for her body, skin, temperament, and even psychological construction had actually started at this moment. it's over.

Is it short?

Very short.

There was not even an opportunity for reporters to visit or for the host to ask questions.

Just get off the car, walk on the red carpet, take photos, take pictures in the autograph area, and then enter.

Even the order of the red carpet that Fatty imagined was somewhat different.

But it is indeed over.

But it's such a short red carpet event. If it were left outside, I don't know how many actresses would regard it as a dream opportunity.

Many people are even willing to pay a lot of money just to be able to walk on the red carpet with Director Xu.

Because they have this photo in their hands, they can get many opportunities elsewhere that they would never have had before, and get the attention of some bosses.

But Fatty, who is not yet officially in the industry in the strict sense, doesn't understand all this.

After entering the premiere, Xu Xin took her straight to Jin Peida who was chatting with several people in front of her:

"Director Jin."

Jin Peida turned his head and laughed:

"Haha, Director Xu, Thunder Monkey Thunder Monkey~"

"Why is Director Jin here?"

"Ah? I'm in charge of the music for this play. Director Xu, who is this?"

"Oh yes, Director Jin, let me introduce to you, Dilraba Dilraba, a native of Northern Xinjiang, an actress signed by Shuangwei..."

Fatty also quickly covered his chest politely:

"Hello, Director Jin, I am Dilraba, please take good care of me."

"Yeah, thunder monkey."

Jin Peida smiled and shook her hand, and then said to Xu Xin:

"Hey, Director Xu, let me also introduce to you, Yuan Jinlin, the screenwriter of "New Police Story" and "Baby Project"."

Following his words, a gentle-looking man wearing black-rimmed glasses next to him smiled and stretched out his hand:

"Hello, Director Xu, I am Yuan Jinlin, just call me Allen. I am your fan and I like all your movies."

"Haha, Teacher Yuan is too polite."

When I heard that this person had actually collaborated with Cheng Long, it meant that he must have a certain status in the screenwriting community in Hong Kong, so he naturally used the polite name.

"Everyone will have the opportunity to work together in the future."

"Haha, okay~"

Regardless of whether it was polite or sincere, the two of them had at least met each other once.

Then, Jin Peida introduced several other people, all of whom were actually from Xiangjiang.

However, one of the investors of this film, Anle Film and Television, is a company from Hong Kong, so it is natural for it to find so many people to support it.

No, Xu Xin had just finished shaking hands with a few people when the person in charge of the film from Anle Film and Television came over, along with two other companies, Yanjing Digital Impression and Hehe Culture Media. Several issuing companies are also included.

Xu Xin was not very clear about the details of these companies. He couldn't even tell whether these people were from the Beijing circle. If he was interested, he would have to ask his wife.

But Vanity Fair, that's what it is.

Seeing Director Xu coming, these people naturally wanted to come over and say hello.

And similarly, as the person brought by Director Xu, Dilraba, who is obviously just a "NOBODY", also has a lot of business cards in her hands.

Just because she was standing next to Xu Xin, these people were willing to say hello, give her a business card, and leave the words "cooperate more if we have the opportunity."

She doesn't even care about her acting skills or her own conditions.

At this moment, in Dilraba's eyes, she seemed to have suddenly stepped into a threshold that many classmates might not be able to reach within a few years after graduation.

Although, this vanity fair suddenly opened up to her, everything seemed extremely illusory.

But the business cards with phone numbers and WeChat messages in their hands, the feeling of being stacked together, seemed extraordinarily real.

And all this was true only because she stood beside Brother Xu.

Just because he is by his side, all dreams come to nothing...

Everything that appears is true.
