I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 4 004. The big grievance of having a mine at home

There are only a few places Xu Xin often hangs out.

BABYFACE, the most famous bar in Yanjing, the Beijing-Zhejiang Club, the quiet bar on Houhai Street, etc.

The city's nightlife is rich and colorful.

But his goal is not these.

First of all, bars are not suitable, nor are quiet bars. The crowd in the club he often goes to is relatively high-end. Even if he gives money, the boss will definitely not agree to it for the sake of the experience of other guests.

Therefore, he chose an expensive nightclub not far from the school called "Tanghui".

The quality in this city is average.

It is not within the consideration range of ordinary students, but it is also not among the choices of truly high-end people.

In the first month after arriving in Yanjing, before he "didn't see much" of the city's prosperity, he was a frequent visitor here.

Later, after gradually coming into contact with some relatively high-end places, I stopped coming there.

But at least the face is here.

As soon as I arrived at the door of this nightclub on the side of the road, the eye-catching red Ferrari was already recognized.

Immediately after getting off the car, a nightclub manager whose name I couldn't name came over.

"Brother Xu is here? Come on, what room should we book today? You're so polite, why don't you come in person? Just give me a call and my brother will do it for you."

Xu Xin didn't know him, but he didn't hesitate to let this man pass on the message.

So, while walking into the nightclub being greeted by a group of etiquette ladies, he offered the other party a cigarette and said casually:

"Let your... manager Huang come here and find me a private room. I'll talk to him about something."

"Well……"

The nightclub manager was obviously disappointed when he heard that Xu Xin was not here to book a box.

This man still has 70,000 to 80,000 yuan in the card...

And forget about the crazy energy you get when you drink too much. If I'm lucky tonight, I might be able to receive another 100,000 yuan in commission for recharging my card.

Who would have expected it in the end...

However, he was disappointed, and he didn’t dare to offend the big customer, so he quickly nodded:

"No problem, no problem, brother. My brother will take you to the box first and call us Mr. Huang right away."

"Um."

Xu Xin responded. The moment he walked into the elevator, he threw the cigarette he had just lit and only taken a puff into the marble ashtray on the trash can. He spit out the smoke in his mouth before walking in.

The elevator soon reached the second floor. From the moment he got out of the elevator, Xu Xin started to look around.

Watch and think about it.

Well, the quality looks okay.

In fact, if the only requirement for the scene in his script is the first private room.

It's impossible for those successful people to go to mass-selling KTV, right?

Judging from this requirement, at least this nightclub is qualified for the filming location selection.

After walking around for a while, we finally came to a very luxurious VIP room.

"Brother, please wait a moment, I'm going to shout."

"Um."

He responded again, and after the door closed, Xu Xin sat on the sofa, looked at the environment here, and nodded with satisfaction.

This house...is suitable for a second story.

Knocked on the table again...

It's okay, it's tempered, and it's not low quality.

"Bang!"

After hammering hard and rubbing his hands, he muttered again:

"Pretty strong."

He was afraid that if no one could stand on the table, there would be another danger.

The girl Teacher Yu is looking for tomorrow must have nice legs. For girls, especially actors, having a pair of good-looking legs is a big plus.

He cannot ruin other people's futures because of his own mistakes and negligence.

So, just to make sure, he stood up and stepped on the table.

"Dong dong dong!"

"Bang bang bang..."

Jumping and jumping, stepping and stomping.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the ambiguously glowing table, he felt completely relieved.

What? You ask, what should I do if it gets stepped on?

Simple.

Just don't hurt yourself.

How much is a table worth? At worst, I'll pay for it.

Then find a glass factory tomorrow and cut out a piece of 3C certified tempered glass.

While they were experimenting here, the door of the box opened.

A man in his thirties wearing a suit walked in.

When he saw Xu Xin jumping on the table, he was immediately stunned...

Is this here to cause trouble?

"Oh, Mr. Huang, come on, come on, sit down, sit down."

Leaving shoe prints all over the table, Xu Xin jumped down and waved to the unknown nightclub manager at the door, indicating that he could go out. After waiting for the manager whose name he didn't know but whose surname was Huang, he sat down. Xu Xin got straight to the point:

"Mr. Huang, I'm a little pressed for time, so let's get straight to the point."

"Well……"

Just when he was wondering what the rich second generation was going to do, he saw Xu Xin pointing towards the door:

"From this private room to the end of the corridor, how many rooms are there in total?"

"……ah?"

Mr. Huang looked really confused.

I even forgot to take out a cigarette.

Xu Xinyi frowned:

"I'm asking you, how many rooms are there?"

Perhaps it was this somewhat arrogant look that made Manager Huang find a familiar feeling, and he quickly replied:

"There are 9 in total. We have 5 rows on each floor, 9 in each row, which means the Nine-Five Lord."

"...Nine or more is fine, it has nothing to do with me. So, tell me the number. I want all of this row. I want to rent it for filming movies. How much does it cost per night?"

"...????"

Seeing the rich second generation smoking a cigarette, he was completely confused.

What the hell?

filming?

200,000 per night.

This is the price given by the other party after making two phone calls.

Is it fair?

good.

Except for the VIP room where Xu Xin is sitting, the other rooms have a card, a princess, a girl with drinks, etc., and the turnover is only 10,000 yuan a night.

Directly doubling it is equivalent to the price of opening two cards in one night when business is good.

From this point of view, the price is not bad.

But it’s still a bit expensive. After all, it’s the end of the year. Unlike other places, Yanjing, a city with a large non-local population, is actually very empty at this time of year.

But Xu Xin didn't bother to care.

Are you sure?

That's right.

"Okay then, twenty is twenty. I'm determined!"

"..."

Manager Huang was not surprised when he heard that Xu Xin waited for him to quote the price without even calling.

After all, he has seen how crazy this grandpa can be after drinking.

So I quickly asked:

"Then when will you use it?"

"I will start shooting in the next few days. When I start shooting, I will tell you in advance that I don't care what happens in your other boxes that night. In this row, no dog that is not my actor or crew can come in. Do you understand? "

The other party readily agreed to Xu Xin's request.

It took Xu Xin less than half an hour in total from arriving at Tanghui to driving the Ferrari and leaving with a speechless farewell.

It didn’t take him long to come from home.

After the red Ferrari left, the nightclub manager couldn't help but ask Manager Huang:

"Mr. Huang, what's going on?"

"Let's make a movie."

"Promote us?"

"publicity?"

Manager Huang sneered:

"What good movies do you think this kind of rich second generation can make? ... It's still publicity, so it's not illegal."

After saying that, he ignored the nightclub manager, whose name he didn't know, and went back directly.

It's winter, so cold.

…

At 9:30, Xu Xin returned to Shijia Hutong on time.

When I entered the house, I had a thermos cup in my hand.

Just bought it casually.

His health was far from weak, but his physical fitness did need to be improved, otherwise he would start to gasp for breath even after running the distance of four bus stops, which would not be possible.

Then for some reason, a song called "Soaking wolfberries in a thermos cup" popped up in my mind.

I grabbed a handful of wolfberries and soaked them in boiling water.

Then he sat back in front of the computer.

The script still needs to be refined with details, and after coming out of Tanghui just now, he had some inspiration for the split shots.

After finishing all this work, the time came to 11 o'clock.

The open lid of the thermos cup cooled the wolfberry water inside to a suitable temperature. After Xu Xin drank it all in one breath, he returned directly to the bedroom.

The busy day is over again.

He gave up on the idea of ​​watching a movie or playing games with his laptop. He leaned on the bedside and looked at the several large sets of gold-bound books that his father pretended to be a man of culture. He bought several large sets of gold-bound books. I picked a book from "Twenty-Four Histories" and turned on the lamp.

11:30.

The half-hour reading is over.

Turn off the lights and sleep.

A good night's sleep.

…

"Teacher Yu, I'm sorry, I'm late."

At 8:40, Xu Xin arrived at the school's audition hall on time.

Seeing Yu Zhen sitting in the audience looking down at the script, he quickly said hello.

After Yu Zhen looked up and saw him, she smiled and waved:

"Come here, have you eaten?"

"have eaten."

Xu Xin quickly walked to the professor with his schoolbag in hand, and then heard Yu Zhen say:

"How is the layout of the shots?"

"It's done."

"……ah?"

Yu Zhen was surprised when she saw Xu Xin taking something out of his bag.

Then I heard Xu Xin say:

"The venue was settled last night."

"????"

Yu Zhen was really surprised by Xu Xin's speed, and then she saw herself, a student who had probably made a mistake in the past, taking out a stack of manuscript paper with square grids and handing it over directly.

Subconsciously, she asked:

"Where is the venue?"

"It's the Tanghui opposite Mingli Bookstore."

Yu Zhen seemed to know this place and said in surprise:

"nightclub?"

"Yeah, people with a lot of money in their pockets wouldn't go to KTV, would they?"

"……How much?"

Although she knew that her student was right, she couldn't help but ask.

Then Xu Xin shrugged:

"Not much, two hundred thousand a day."

"Two hundred thousand!??????"

If you use a sentence from Xu Xin's dream to describe Yu Zhen's mood, then it must be:

"Where did you come from, such a resentful person?"

Then...she heard a statement that even subverted her views:

"It's okay. I originally planned to go to the Beijing-Zhejiang Film Festival. But I guess I can't afford it for five to six million yuan...and they may not be able to receive the crew, so I didn't go. Forget it, I'll choose that place next time I have the chance."

"..."

This time, she really couldn't help it:

"Xu Xin."

"ah?"

"What is your family doing?"

"Well……"

Looking at the teacher's curious eyes, Xu Xin didn't hide anything, shrugged and said with a smile:

"There are several mines at home."

"..."

Okay... okay.

Yu Zhen suddenly didn't know what to say.

At this moment, the door of the audition hall was opened again, and a very recognizable voice sounded:

"Hello, teacher, may I ask... is this the audition hall for Director Professor Yu?"

Hearing this, Xu Xin turned around instinctively.

In an instant, a beautiful girl wearing a down jacket and high heels cast a searching gaze towards this side with her big eyes.

But Xu Xin was a little stunned.

Because... he seemed to have seen this girl in his dream.

How do you sing that song? ……Oh yes.

"Ah~in~the dream~~"
