I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 651 649. Some things finally settle down

In this game, no one cared about the ups and downs of Yang Ying's mentality.

There is only one protagonist in everyone's mind today, and that is Xu Xin, who just helped them make a big deal out of a small investment, and raked in a box office of 240 million in one week with a mere investment of 35 million.

Smoking cigars and talking about things.

After the romantic appetizers, it’s the main meal.

Today, many people from the Shanghai Film Studio came, mainly Xue Haifeng. Except for Qian Pengcheng, who was considered an "outsider", the others were all inextricably connected with the Shanghai Film Studio.

Like a shark, it swarmed over unconsciously after smelling the smell of blood.

Xu Xin bringing Yang Ying here was equivalent to a signal that there was no need to avoid talking about what she was going to talk about today.

As for why the taboo is not avoided, no one asks.

Just take care of your own affairs.

"Director Xu, how are the shares of this investment company allocated specifically?"

Xue Haifeng asked, holding a cigar in his mouth.

Yang Ying was stunned.

But starting from Xue Haifeng's words, she no longer had the qualifications to show herself on the stage.

Xu Xin was not surprised and said directly:

"Three three three one."

Hearing this, Xue Haifeng nodded to express his understanding.

And very satisfied.

Because Xiying Studio is very considerate.

On the surface, it looks like everyone is sharing it equally, a family of thirty. And that 10% is against the wind.

But in fact, the headwind is Xu Xin's company. His 10% plus decision-making power will naturally fall to Xiying Studio.

Therefore, it is okay to count Xiying Studio 40.

But even though this is the case, things can't be done that way.

There are no advantages or disadvantages among the three families, they just need to be equal.

In this matter, you have both face and dignity.

Beautiful.

So, he said:

"We have also studied it in the past few days and feel that this proposal is very good. When do you plan to launch it?"

"After the year."

Xu Xin said and raised his cup:

"I'm quite tired this year. If we put all these things until the end of the year, it can be considered a good start for us."

"Haha~"

Xue Haifeng smiled and nodded:

"That pair, come."

As everyone toasted, some things were completely finalized.

After taking a sip of wine, Xue Haifeng originally wanted to talk about some deeper topics, such as cooperation plans, but Xu Xin suddenly asked:

"By the way, what's going to be served tonight?"

Xue Haifeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled very naturally:

"Haha, of course we can serve whatever dishes Director Xu wants to eat."

"I remember the fish we ate last time was good..."

The topic was suddenly diverted by Xu Xin.

As expected, Xue Haifeng didn't mention it either.

So, romance is back again.

…

The evening meal was fusion.

There are Sichuan dishes and Shaanxi dishes, but most of them are local dishes that suit these Shanghai gourmets.

The wine also changed from red wine to Maotai.

Xu Xin didn’t drink much because he said before the game started:

"Everyone, please don't try to trick me. I came with a shield tonight."

Therefore, Yang Ying naturally became Xu Xin's drinker as a flower in the green bush.

Although it was not a cup of tea, the people present were extremely valuable connections to her.

Celebrities may be aloof in front of ordinary people.

But in front of these people... In fact, Party B who invites Party A to dinner is no different.

But Yang Ying was still very grateful.

Special thanks to Xu Xin.

Because this meal of wine is something that many artists dream of and cannot even ask for.

She knew she had to accompany these leaders tonight and couldn't be vague.

And with her holding back the wine, Xu Xin was like a big brother taking the lead. Ma Zai was fighting in the front, while he was sitting firmly in the middle of the army tent.

At this moment, he, Xue Haifeng, and Qian Pengcheng were sitting together, chatting in low voices while you had a cigarette and I had a glass of wine.

"Director Xu, do we have to look for someone to sign this contract with?"

"Isn't that ready-made?"

After hearing this, Xu Xin turned to Yang Ying, who was toasting with others, and said with a low smile, and at the same time whispered with Qian Pengcheng:

"The girlfriend of Huayi shareholder Huang Xiaoming, one of Shuangwei's pillars. Isn't it ready-made?"

"..."

"..."

Xue Haifeng and Qian Pengcheng frowned slightly for a moment.

Immediately afterwards...

Both foxes understood the composition of their prey.

And... something deeper.

I have to admit that when it comes to smell, these two are top notch.

After Qian Pengcheng came to his senses, he smiled and said:

"She is the perfect candidate."

Xue Haifeng also showed a knowing look:

"Well, it does fit...does she know?"

"I haven't told her yet."

Now, the two of them understood why it was not Yang Mi but Yang Ying who came today.

Then, Xu Xin said:

"Mr. Qian, don't worry. No matter what, she will definitely follow your lead."

"...Haha~ Then I have to have a drink with her."

Qian Pengcheng, knowing the weight of this sentence, left the table with a smile:

"Baby, come on, let's have a drink too."

Yang Ying, who had just drank a glass and still had the smell of alcohol in his mouth. He didn't even have time to take a bite of the food, stood up quickly and bowed to pick up the wine:

"Hey, okay, Mr. Qian, I have to toast you..."

After Qian Pengcheng left, Xu Xin heard Xue Haifeng's words:

"Director Xu, we are friends, so you can rest assured on our side. The entertainment soil in Magic City is still a little shallow, but our biggest advantage is that the soil is good and we will never pick seeds."

"Haha~"

Xu Xin smiled and nodded, his words slightly meaningful:

"Of course, everyone here is a distinguished customer, and stores are better than merchants. Right?"

Xue Haifeng smiled when he heard this and picked up his wine glass:

"Worshiping the Buddha and participating in Zen are like taking a shower in the spring breeze."

The two completed their oath of alliance without leaking any water.

It also brought a perfect end to tonight's banquet.

…

Yang Ying drank and broke the piece.

When leaving, he was pushed out in a wheelchair by Roosevelt's people.

After Su Meng and Orange took her to the car with great difficulty, the four of them left in the Audi.

After dialing Huang Xiaoming's number and asking for the address, he drove all the way there.

Huang Xiaoming owns real estate in Shanghai, but in order to avoid crowds of people, A6 went down to the basement.

When Huang Xiaoming, who was wearing pajamas and pajamas, saw his girlfriend's unconscious appearance, his first reaction was to look at Xu Xin...

"Senior brother, I mixed a little too much wine today. After drinking the red wine from you, I went over there to drink the red wine first, then the brandy, and finally I ate and drank Maotai."

Xu Xin's tone of voice was also very vague.

I was already three points drunk, but under deliberate disguise, I was already seven points drunk.

Although Huang Xiaoming was speechless, he also understood that... he had fulfilled his promise.

They both advanced and retreated together.

So he smiled and said:

"Thank you for your hard work... why don't you come up and sit down?"

"I can't go, my legs are weak."

Xu Xin waved his hand:

"Let them help the baby up, I'll take it easy, I feel like vomiting."

"Okay... okay, then I won't be coming down to see you off for a while."

"No need to send... ugh..."

Soon, three people carried the lifeless Yang Ying into the unit door, wheezing.

Xu Xin sat in the passenger seat and quietly lit a cigarette.

Intrigue and intrigue...

Very tired.

People talk a lot, and the meaning of some words must be hidden.

It can't be hidden too deep, nor too shallow.

Be upright and aboveboard, but also be mature and steady.

It takes a lot of brains.

"Crack."

He lit a cigarette.

"call……"

He exhaled a puff of smoke and connected his mobile phone to Bluetooth.

He only had the car Bluetooth. Su Meng had to connect the AUX cable if he wanted to listen to music, so that he didn't have to fiddle with it again when connecting to Bluetooth.

It’s not about status or status, but it is a concession from the “lower” to the “higher”.

As soon as Bluetooth was connected, a song sounded from Audi's speakers.

"Your tears~"

"Weak yet hurt~"

"The pale moon crescents, hooking the past..."

"..."

He froze for a moment and pulled down the passenger's sun visor.

There is a CD sleeve on the sun visor, and inside it is a full set of genuine CDs that he got from the wheel... no, he got it as a beggar.

It started as a beggar, but later, when the young man heard Wang Lihong in his car, he became so arrogant that several of his cars had complete sets of CDs donated by Mr. Jay Chou himself.

He also left a disrespectful comment: "You say I am the king of Chinese every day, how dare you listen to other people's songs? Do you want to rebel?"

And he rummaged around and found the album "Still Fantasy" and stuffed it into the CD player.

He didn't even need to look at the catalog. After CD1 started playing, he pressed forward nine times in a row and reached the tenth song.

The prelude of "Chrysanthemum Terrace" sounded again.

With the melodious cello playing, he dialed his wife's phone number.

"Dudu... hello?"

Yang Mi picked up quickly.

"Got home?"

"No...hiss~~Pfft."

After a long line of smoke, Xu Xin leaned back on the chair, his eyebrows were one-third drunk, but the other seven-thirds were a little weird and high-spirited.

"Send Yang Yinggang back. Mengmeng and Orange went upstairs. I didn't go up. I was sitting in the car listening to music."

"What song are you listening to?"

Xu Xin didn't respond, but put the phone next to the speaker for a few seconds.

After taking it back again, he asked:

"Did you hear that clearly?"

"Well, "Chrysanthemum Terrace"...what's going on?"

"I miss you."

The kiss his wife placed on the corner of his mouth in the morning still had a lingering fragrance, but now he spoke the simplest words of love with loneliness in his heart.

"..."

Yang Mi glanced at her 5-0 Shadow Demon, TPed back to the spring water, then stood up and walked to the window:

"The mead you drank today? Why does it taste so sweet?"

"Hehe... I remember when we were in Hengdian."

"Then did you remember that you wanted to turn off the light and kiss me, but then you touched the wrong switch..."

"..."

The high spirits retreated, replaced by shame and annoyance:

"You bitch!"

"Oh! You're so brave! I'm giving you a warning with my half-step collapse fist!"

Yang Mi said with a smile.

"Hehe~...How much did you drink today?"

"Four liang and a half catty~ son."

"Tch, your pronunciation here is really ugly. That's called Si Liang and a Half Chicken! Without the "N", just pronounce it as "Chicken"."

"Who said that? You old Yanjing people talk like this, do you care?"

"Oh my, my dears... can you write those two words?"

Yang Mi couldn't laugh or cry.

I wonder why my husband is like a child.

But...she didn't know what was going on, and she suddenly became happy.

"I taught Yangyang how to draw this afternoon. I taught him how to draw an apple, and he drew a big deflated eggplant for me... Did you see my Weibo? I posted a photo. It's so ugly..."

"I didn't look, I didn't have time. Are you sure it's an eggplant and not a big round cake?"

"It's ugly anyway. But I see a lot of people commenting on me, praising Yangyang for his artistic talent..."

"Art bacteria huh?"

"Why are you so poor? Your mouth will be broken if you drink some yellow soup."

"...Hey, I miss you anyway."

Xu Xin continued to act like a child.

Lying on the passenger seat with one leg hanging outside the door, he was enjoying himself.

"Then come back early. Tomorrow is the 30th. Are you sure you can come back on the 31st?"

"Yes, I will definitely celebrate the New Year with you."

"Humph, I'm warning you, if you're late, I won't give you a good look for the next year."

"Hey hey hey, you can't bear to part~You love me~YOU L~~~~OVE ME~"

Maybe he was really drunk. In the tune of "Chrysanthemum Terrace", he sang it in both Chinese and English, which was as disgusting as possible.

But Yang Mi took all the orders:

"Yes, yes, I LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH~ So, our family is going to celebrate the New Year together and take this year's group photo."

"Um……"

After listening to a song, Su Meng, who was sweating on her face, also went downstairs.

"Mengmeng is here, I won't tell you anymore."

"Well, okay. Then you go to bed early and don't get up late tomorrow and delay things... Come back on the afternoon of the 31st to celebrate the New Year together! It's a deal!"

"Um!"

After hanging up the phone, Yang Mi sat back in front of the computer.

"Sorry, someone came home to check the water meter."

The 5-0 Shadow Demon said after Quan Shui hung up his phone for four minutes.

…

In order to fulfill his promise, Xu Xin got up early on the 30th.

At 8 o'clock, the plane took off on time, and then at 11 o'clock in the morning, he appeared at the gate of Xiying Studio.

But instead of going in, he came to the guest house and dialed a number.

After the call was connected, a voice with a strong Bayan accent came from inside:

"Hey, Director Xu, hello, I'm Lin Lichao."

Hearing this, Xu Xin smiled and said:

"Mr. Lin, I'm at the door of the guest house now. Can you come down if it's convenient?"

"Ah? Okay, okay, we'll come down right now. Director Xu, please wait a moment."

"okay."

Lin Lichao, Wanwan decoration designer.

The design plan of Jewel Company came out of his hands.

The reason why he came to Xi'an this time was also very simple. The brothers had said before that they wanted to open a KTV. Because they wanted to ride on Jay Chou's popularity, it was natural that the decoration work was left to him.

After several rounds of screenings, Jay Chou may have felt it was troublesome, or he may have felt overwhelmed, so he finally entrusted Lin Lichao to come up with the design plan.

After all, everyone became friends after that time with Jewell, and he was quite satisfied with the company's decoration style.

Xu Xin happened to be here this time, and Lin Lichao was going to actually measure the house.

Xu Xin didn't wait long. Soon, he saw four or five people walking out of the guest house together.

When he saw Xu Xin smoking beside the car, a man carrying a shoulder bag quickly came over:

"Hello, Director Xu. Nice to meet you. I'm Lin Lichao. Just call me Jason."

"Well, hello Jason."

The two shook hands, and then Xu Xin looked at the other people:

"These are..."

Lin Lichao began to introduce him.

There are his assistants, architects, and the head of a KTV decoration equipment company.

Obviously through Lin Lichao's relationship, I wanted to see if I could intervene.

Not to mention the six thousand square meters of floor space... just the title of "Decorating Jay Chou's KTV" is enough for these companies to make a lot of money.

But Xu Xin didn't care.

The design and decoration of KTV, as well as the decoration of KTV professional equipment, are separate.

The design drawings were produced first, and he found a local decoration team in Xi'an for the decoration.

People from Xujiawan did it.

I still have to ask the person to call me cousin.

Therefore, the cost of decoration is controllable.

As for the equipment... let's do some shopping around when the time comes.

So, after everyone got to know each other, they took two business cars and walked directly to Jiaotong University.

In the car, Lin Lichao was chatting with Xu Xin about this design concept.

"Director Xu, do you have any suggestions for the design concept of this KTV?"

"Well……"

Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

"I won't mention other aspects. After all, I don't understand and it's not easy to talk nonsense. What I can convey to you is that first of all, the consumer group we target is college students. Therefore, the charges must not be too expensive, but affordable entertainment. You need to control costs for these things. We don’t want to make flashy things, and we don’t want to have the style of a nightclub. The main thing is to be young, fashionable, affordable for everyone, and fun.”

Lin Lichao nodded subconsciously, while the two assistants behind him quickly took their notebooks and started recording Party A's requirements.

Amid the discussion, the car arrived at the Jiaotong University Computer City.

Xu Xin actually hasn't been here since last year when his brothers "ran into unfinished buildings at night".

In less than a year, the neighborhood has already changed.

Supermarkets, steamed bun shops, mobile phone repair shops, milk tea shops, etc. are all set up at this T-junction.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere of the small commercial plaza became stronger.

But only this largest commercial building at the T-junction was clean... There was still a layer of dust on the glass.

Lin Lichao stood at the intersection of "Ivy Garden", looked at the commercial buildings in front of him, and asked:

"Director Xu, which floor is it on?"

Xu Xin, who was wearing a mask, waved his hand:

"They are all. The three floors of the house that others paid for are all mine... Mengmeng, call the property management company and ask them to come and open the door."

"Okay, Brother Xu."

Su Meng responded and started to contact the property management company.

When they heard that Director Xu was coming, several property management leaders also rushed over during lunch.

It's the same as if a leader came to inspect...actually it's pretty much the same.

The developers of Ivy League paid for these buildings to Director Xu's father. As property developers, they must be aware of it.

Even the developer has to call Director Xu’s father brother, how dare they like to neglect him?

Xu Xin doesn't have to worry about the next thing.

The property manager opened the door and took people up.

He followed him up the stairs and looked around... there was nothing to see.

The frame structure can be seen all the way through at a glance, which is really not interesting.

Simply retreated.

Sitting back in the commercial car, he yawned lazily.

The fatigue of the long journey is starting to show.

He was drowsy.

And just when he was dozing off, suddenly, a phone call came in, which shocked him.

"..."

Speechless, I took out the phone and said to myself, no matter who the bastard is, I will make you look good today!

But the moment he saw the caller, he lost his temper.

The old man called.

This doesn't make it look good.

It's fine if he doesn't look good to me.

Get through now:

"Hello? Say."

"Where are you!"

Xu Xin knew something was wrong as soon as he heard Zhang Yimou's voice on the other end of the phone.

It was far different from his usual calm tone.

He subconsciously gathered his energy:

"Xi'an, what's wrong? Tell me. What happened?"

"..."

There was silence on the other side of the phone.

About two or three seconds passed...

"Are you in Xi'an?"

"yes."

"……work?"

"Well, let's take a look at the progress of "33 Days", talk to the factory about "Hawthorn Tree", and the actions to start the new year... No, what happened, please don't scare me first, okay?"

Xu Xin was a little confused.

I don’t understand what’s wrong with the old man who has always been a tough guy.

But immediately he heard a tentative word:

"Are you... free to come to Wuxi in the past two days?"

Xu Xin was stunned:

"……ah?"

Then, he heard a sentence:

"Chen Ting and I...want to treat you to dinner. Your hukou is here."

"..."

December 30, 2010.

There are less than 48 hours until the new year.

Xu Xin was delighted.
