I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 69 067. Soft Medium, Hard Medium and Yuxi

"Xiao Xu, you did a good job."

After the meeting, "as usual", Zhang Wu patted Xu Xin on the shoulder with admiration.

He fell in love with this young man more and more.

It's a pity...this kid has never been a soldier. If you can join the army directly from a college student, take the literary route, and be transferred to your side for good training, you will definitely be a pillar and a good seedling in the future.

But that's not possible now.

The Olympics are still more than two years away, and when they are over, this child will be over 22 years old.

Pity.

What a seedling.

Enthusiastic, responsible, and dedicated...

Xu Xin quickly expressed his thanks politely and then planned to go home.

What Director Tian said in the last paragraph means that you just write and I will help you polish it.

And with this person helping to check, let’s not say whether the Torch will be selected in the end, but at least the article described in this article will be fine.

So he planned to get it out tonight.

After getting in the car, he habitually checked his phone first.

In the past two days, Yang Mi and he chatted through text messages every day, and she had to clean out the text message storage box of 80 messages every two days.

So it has become his habit to look at his phone when he has time.

Sure enough, several messages were sent.

"I want to learn to fight."

This is the first one.

"This afternoon, I had a fight scene... I felt very difficult to do the movements. But Huang Xiaoming and Liu Tianxian were very smooth. Especially Liu Tianxian, she was wearing a white dress and holding a long sword in those poses He looks really cool! So handsome!"

This is the second one.

The second and third text messages were three minutes apart.

"I've decided, I'll start practicing when I get back! Everyone else is working so hard, so there's no reason why I can't do it, right?"

Seeing this message, Xu Xin thought about it and replied:

"Practice kung fu is quite hard, but these two years of costume drama really require these, it is indeed a necessary skill, I agree."

Read the next post after replying:

"I'm done!! Are you done?"

It was around 3pm when I sent the message.

Then there are the last and latest ones, which were sent ten minutes ago:

"We're at the hotel. Hey, I'm telling you, big news! Big honey!!"

"No, it's a big secret!! Hey! Do you know the big secret!! Do you want to know?!!"

"Forget it, I can't exchange your secret, so I'll tell you directly. I just went back to the hotel, and guess what! The crew of "The Golden Armor" is coming!! Wow! Jay Chou! Zhang Yimou! Brother! Stay in the same hotel with me!"

"Ula!!"

"...?"

Xu Xin was stunned.

I blinked and looked through the penultimate message, reading every word carefully...

What does it mean?

meaning is……

A hotel?

No, SIR.

Is Hengdian that small?

Can you encounter this?

After thinking for a while, he tentatively replied:

""The Golden Armor" is in the same hotel as you?"

The other party didn't reply.

Xu Xin thought for a while and decided to drive home first.

This place is quite close to Shijia Hutong, not far.

And as soon as she walked out and merged into the evening rush hour traffic, while waiting for the traffic light, Yang Mi's message came back:

"Yes! Let me tell you, it is a big crew after all, really. With so many people in our crew, we only occupied thirty rooms. We are a TV drama~ They directly occupied two floors. Did you know? Two floors. , and they are all high-level people! So rich! Are you finished?"

Taking the time to glance at the message, Xu Xin became even more speechless.

My heart said to me, girl, if you knew that one of the rooms on the two floors would have me living in it, wouldn’t you be crazy?

But at this moment Xu Xin suddenly didn't want to talk to her about it.

Originally, I told her before that I would tell her when the "secret" could be announced.

But now...

Suddenly a bad taste came into his heart.

What if I don't tell her?

Then suddenly appeared in front of her...

What expression must this girl have?

Immediately, Xu Xin burst into laughter.

After making up his mind, with a bit of bad taste, he replied:

"Well, I just finished my work. It's great. I really like Director Zhang. It would be great to study under him."

Ding.

"That's it, what do you think? Which actor doesn't want to be in Zhang Yimou's lap? Me too!"

Look at your worthless look!

Seeing this news, Xu Xin was speechless.

Then before I could reply, the girl sent another message:

"Eh?! I just received today's push news when I was in the bathroom. Zhang Yimou has become the director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games!?"

"Ah? Really? When? I don't know."

God knows when Xu Xin replied to this message again, he would smile like a grandson.

And between the lines of the girl's reply, a sense of stupidity naturally emerged in his heart.

"It's just today! I just saw the news, so he's going to make a movie? Why not do the Olympics first?"

"Maybe he wears many hats."

"so good."

"What's so good?"

"I'm envious. It would be worth it if I could play a supporting role. Not only can he command so many big-name stars, but he can also shoulder such a heavy responsibility! He is really awesome!"

have to.

Zhang blew it out.

During the evening rush hour in Yanjing, cars move very slowly.

Xu Xin took her cell phone and replied to the message while following the slow traffic flow towards home.

When he got home, he took two bags of frozen dumplings from the refrigerator, cooked them and ate them, and his chat with the girl ended there.

After telling the other party that she had to work, Yang Mi never replied.

Xu Xin opened his laptop and started working on the manuscript according to the ideas in his mind.

And just as the beginning was drafted, the phone rang again.

He thought it was Yang Mi, but when he picked it up and looked at it, he found that it was coach Yu Fei.

Asked Xu Xin why he hadn't been to the gym these days. He had exceeded his fitness plan and hadn't been there for two days.

Xu Xin then remembered that he had indeed not been there for several days.

After replying that she was a little busy at work and was going on a business trip for a few months, coach Yu Fei heard this and directly asked Xu Xin for her email address.

It was said that he would develop a travel fitness plan for him, one that he could do even without equipment.

After Xu Xin thanked him, the two politely ended their conversation.

Then, he directly adjusted his phone to vibrate mode, put it aside, and officially started working.

…

With the support of the design concept, it is not difficult to write an explanation of about a thousand words.

In addition, he understood what Tian Heping meant.

So an explanation from a team perspective was sent to Tian Heping the next day.

After Tian Heping finished reading, his face still had the same kind look. He took off his reading glasses and said:

"Okay, let's leave it here for now. I'll take a closer look later to see if there's anything that needs to be changed."

"Hey, okay."

Xu Xin responded and politely thanked:

"Thank you, Director Tian."

"fine."

Tian Heping smiled and waved his hands:

"It's all as it should be."

"Then I'll go do my work first?"

"Okay, let's go... By the way, Xiao Xu."

As if he suddenly remembered something, Tian Heping stopped him again.

Under Xu Xin's doubtful eyes, he nodded:

"well done."

"Uh...thank you."

Xu Xin said goodbye politely again, and after he left, Tian Heping put on his reading glasses again, looked at the font that was obviously two sizes larger than ordinary handwriting, and showed a smile that was more genuine than kind.

self-mumbling:

"This boy... is really considerate."

…

Noon on the 27th.

Xu Xin arrived at the airport.

He came here in his own car because he had a lot of luggage, two whole suitcases. It was originally a box, but after packing for a long time, he found that it couldn't fit in. He had to load the remaining luggage into the car, and then bought a temporary box at noon.

Otherwise, it may be too late to pack the boxes after you buy them.

But the car had to be parked at the airport.

Although the parking fee at the airport is very expensive, it is just a drop in the bucket for him...

It's actually quite interesting to say.

These days he has been busy from dawn to dusk every day. Every time he drives home, he drives his A6 directly onto the curb in front of his house, gets out of the car and goes home.

The road in Shijia Hutong is wide, and with this meter of curb, it will definitely not block the road.

When Xu Daqiang bought this house, he had the foresight to tear down the courtyard wall at the entrance. It didn't matter whether the bricks were from the Republic of China or the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Isn't it just a brick?

After it was demolished, a garage was built.

In order to build this garage, a house was demolished and converted into a double garage.

It's not that Xu Daqiang doesn't understand antiques...

But there are some things...perhaps they are some rare objects in the eyes of Yanjing people, such as a horse-mounting stone and a horse-mounting stool, or even a millstone, which is left over from the Qing Dynasty.

But the problem is that Xu Daqiang is from Shaanxi.

Are you talking about antiques with Shaanxi people?

Return the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China?

Don't be ridiculous.

When Xu Xin was a child, he met more than a few antique dealers or cultural relic collectors, who went door to door collecting plates and bowls.

It may be an exaggeration to talk about the Han and Tang Dynasties, but the stuff from the Song and Ming Dynasties is really quite common.

As for the Qing Dynasty?

Is the Qing Dynasty worthy of being called an antique?

That's pretty much called second-hand goods.

Therefore, in this regard, when Xu Da forcibly demolished the house, based on Xu Xin's understanding of his father, his father must have had a sense of superiority in his heart.

And the reason why I say this is also very simple.

When he was packing his things this morning, he was worried that he might not be acclimated to the climate when he went to the south, so he remembered the box of millet his father had brought when he came two days ago.

This is my family's own factory, called Simeizi.

Specializing in millet.

Before the discovery of coal mines, Shenmu's millet was very famous in Shaanxi.

Later, a few of my father’s friends set up a factory specifically to do this.

Xu Xin didn't understand anything about ecologically growing organic crops. He just knew that his father invested in it because he wanted to have a bite of the millet noodle pastry that tasted like when he was a child, or if a child in the village had a baby and could eat it without adulteration. Millet porridge with sand.

The layer of rice oil on the millet porridge is known as fairy water in my hometown, and it is best if children drink it.

So we built this factory.

The benefits don’t matter, the main thing is that you can eat with confidence.

It is also a habit in my hometown to take some millet from my hometown to other places to prevent acclimatization. I drank a bowl of millet porridge when I felt uncomfortable. Keeping it was better than anything else.

As a result, I walked to the garage and looked at the dusty Ferrari...

Xu Xin was in a daze for a while.

I just remembered in a daze...oh, it seems that I haven't spent any money for a long, long time.

The cigarettes I smoke are boxes and boxes of China at home.

If he didn't give gifts, Xu Xin estimated that it would take at least a few years for him to smoke.

Liquor is also free at Moutai.

You eat in the canteen. There is a canteen in the Olympic Building, there is also a canteen in the Qinglan Building, and even in the Fourth House there is a canteen.

Even when he refuels his car, he uses the fuel card issued by the team.

No more socializing, no more fun and entertainment...

Then I still have a salary of more than 6,000 a month.

In a daze, Xu Xin himself forgot the last time he withdrawn cash from his bank card.

Full of emotion, he packed up two large boxes of clothes, millet, and miscellaneous items and rushed to the airport.

Even feeling a little excited.

Putting aside the specious dream, if we really talk about it in detail... This is Xu Xin's first time going to the south.

Before going to college, his trajectory was actually very monotonous.

It’s the generation of Shenmu, Fugu and EEDS.

Then maybe occasionally fly to Xi'an from Dongsheng to feel the prosperity of the "big city".

But I have to admit that even if they are in the same province, there is still regional bias.

When he entered the city with a northern Shaanxi accent, he would sometimes clearly feel the faintly strange look in his eyes from the southern Shaanxi people.

Indeed, before there were coal resources, northern Shaanxi... was really synonymous with poverty.

To put it bluntly.

Even if you have money, you won’t spend it.

Thinking about it now, Xu Xin really felt that she was in this state before she came out from home.

Then he came to Yanjing, and after seeing the prosperity of a real metropolis, he lost the concept of north and south in his heart.

What city can be as good as Yanjing?

But now I think about going to the south soon...

For no reason, he was really excited.

And a little timid.

It's like the fear before taking the first step when embarking on an unknown journey.

The south.

Jiangnan.

Water town.

I heard that girls are all white and soft, and all they talk about is Wu Nong's soft words...

Maybe he once fell in love with Yuan Shanshan at first sight because of the girl's soft words, right?

He was smoking outside the airport while thinking about what he had and what he didn't.

As I was taking the second cigarette, I heard a sound:

"Xiao Xu."

Turning around, Xu Xin quickly shouted:

"Director Sha."

The person in charge of lighting design, Sha Xiaofeng.

Although the name has "little" in it, he is not young and is recognized as a master of large-scale stage lighting design in the industry.

It was this man's idea to change the color of the torch's light from blazing white to bright yellow.

After listening to what others said, Liu Mingsheng changed the color of the light bulb, and sure enough, the silver auspicious cloud pattern under the light became even more gorgeous.

Big Brother is a very nice person. He sighs every day and says that if he continues like this, he will lose his bald head.

But when the main creator works overtime and has meetings, he always holds a glass of wolfberry water at his seat.

After saying hello, Xu Xin took the initiative to step forward and help Sha Xiaofeng pull the box.

"No, I'll do it myself."

Sha Xiaofeng waved his hand, while Xu Xin took out the cigarette in his pocket:

"Director Sha, smoke."

"Um."

Sha Xiaofeng nodded, and after taking the Chinese cigarette, he lowered his head and glanced at the number on the cigarette.

After discovering that it started with three characters, he lowered his head and covered Xu Xin's hand to light the cigarette.

"Why did you bring so many things?"

Hearing his words, Xu Xin shook his head:

"Sister Wei said she would stay for a few months, so she brought more... from long sleeves to short sleeves. She also brought a few pairs of shoes... mainly because I have never been to the south and don't know what the climate is like there. In this way, I am more prepared. I originally thought that one box would be enough, but unexpectedly, I bought a new one temporarily. "

"Have you never been to the south?"

Sha Xiaofeng was a little surprised.

He naturally knew that the conditions at Xiao Xu's family were definitely not bad.

This was the first person to ask Xu Xin if this A6 had a V8 engine.

At such a young age, this kid drives an A6 costing over a million dollars, and he travels to China every day. How can a kid from such a wealthy family never go to the South?

"right."

Xu Xin nodded:

"It's really the first time."

"Hiss~ Then you may suffer."

Sha Xiaofeng shook his head:

"The south is really not as comfortable as the north. There are a lot of mosquitoes in Hengdian... Hey, have you ever seen such a big mosquito?"

He drew the outline of the belly of his little finger:

"It's black. There are white lines on the black belly. It swells up like this after being bitten..."

"..."

Seeing his description, Xu Xin's cheeks suddenly began to twitch.

What the hell is this a mosquito?

Isn't this some kind of wasp?

"Director Sha...don't scare me..."

"Why are you trying to scare you..."

Sha Xiaofeng rolled his eyes:

"You will know when you go there. Since April, there have been mosquitoes in the south...but the kind of mosquitoes I mentioned are rare now. I have only been bitten once or twice...but I heard People of my father’s generation said that when the Four Pests were eliminated in the 1960s, there were a lot of them in the South.”

The two of them started talking about mosquitoes inexplicably.

Smoking while talking.

And when Xu Xin finished smoking the second one, Sha Xiaofeng also finished the first one.

Xu Xin handed over another one:

"Director Sha, take another one, you have to smoke it to your heart's content, otherwise it will take three or four hours from passing the security check to getting off the plane."

"...We have a VIP room, didn't you know?"

"……ah?"

Seeing Xu Xin's confused look, Sha Xiaofeng laughed:

"Haha, you really don't know? We always take a car from the VIP room. You can smoke in the VIP room..."

While talking, he did not refuse, took another one and lit it and said:

"You will know in a moment. Director Zhang is so famous that people will definitely gather around him when he appears in the public eye, so we can just go to the VIP room in a moment."

"That's it...this is the first time I've heard of it."

Xu Xin shook his head:

"I knew there was a smoking room inside, but didn't you say it was canceled to improve the city's image?"

"Well, that's true. After all, it is the host city of the Olympic Games~"

As Sha Xiaofeng said, he suddenly said:

"Xiao Xu."

"You say."

"Go back and change your cigarette."

Big Brother suddenly said something without thinking.

"...?"

Xu Xin was stunned.

Just listen to Sha Xiaofeng say:

"Three prefixes with China, a car worth over a million dollars...yes, it seems to be your personal financial conditions. But sometimes you have to look at the occasion. Let me ask you, what does Director Wang smoke?"

Director Wang is the Dynasty Song.

She is the only lesbian who smokes.

Xu Xin followed this question and said:

"Hard Chinese."

"That's right. Where is Director Fan?"

"Hmm...it seems to be Yunyan, right?"

"Where's Director Zhang?"

Zhang Yimou does not smoke, so Director Zhang is talking about Zhang Wu.

"Yuxi."

"Um...did you find it?"

Following his train of thought, Xu Xin gradually came to his senses.

"Director Sha, what do you mean..."

"Hi."

Sha Xiaofeng waved his hand:

"Although ours is not a public official organization, there are some things that... you still need to pay attention to. Do you understand what I mean? I'm not saying that you should wrong yourself, but there are some things that you still have to be careful about. Of course, I'm not talking about you. Not good. It’s just that you may be used to it, so you don’t care. But don’t forget...your pack of cigarettes...sometimes costs as much as a day’s salary for others. In the future, our people will become more and more popular because of the Olympics. The closer you get, the more you become the focus of everyone's eyes. Your every word, every action, and even every detail will be magnified exponentially, and what we are advocating now is frugality, and you are a bag of Chinese... right?"

There were some things that Sha Xiaofeng didn't say clearly.

But Xu Xin understood.

"I understand... Director Sha, you're right, it's true, then I understand."

Seeing Xu Xin nodding, Sha Xiaofeng responded:

"Well. You are smart and smart, just understand... Hey, this is how our industry is. Normally, no one cares about what you do in private. But when it comes to public image, especially our current positioning Here it is. The budget itself is not big, and everyone is saving this breath. If they want to rely on the Olympics to boost the economy, they must pay attention to it when they need to do it. If they do well, they will not be afraid of the shadow. But the problem is that it is You feel disgusted when someone pokes you, right?"

"Yeah, yes, that's true."

Xu Xin, who understood what the other party meant, said gratefully:

"Thank you, Director Sha, if you didn't remind me, maybe I wouldn't have paid attention."

"Hey, what is this~hahaha~"

While they were chatting, other people appeared at the airport gate one after another.

After asking, I found out that Director Zhang and the others wanted to avoid causing a commotion. After all, countless media now wanted to interview him... so they gathered first, then went through the formalities, walked directly to the small road, and had already entered.

Several people did not stop even after listening.

Anyway, compared to Director Zhang, these people who came from home are just a group of "unknown people".

Without any psychological pressure, everyone walked into the airport and passed the security check.

But something went wrong when Xu Xin passed the security check.

The person at the checkpoint checked the ticket and said to him:

"Sir, there is something wrong with your luggage. Please go to the baggage inspection gate to have a look."

"……has a problem?"

Xu Xin was stunned, waved to everyone, and walked to the luggage area.

Then I saw my newly purchased box.

Unpacking and inspecting...he understood what his problem was.

Inexplicably, there were two more lighters in my luggage.

God knows how he casually threw these two lighters in when he was packing his suitcase.

After taking out the lighter, he checked it again. After making sure it was OK, he walked back to the security checkpoint.

This time he passed the security check calmly, and then he saw the people waiting for him.

Xu Xin was naturally flattered. After explaining the luggage matter, everyone chatted and laughed and walked to the VIP lounge under the leadership of Sha Xiaofeng.

I also saw Zhang Yimou and the others who were drinking tea and waiting inside.

After waiting for a while, it was time to board the plane.

Xu Xin and Wei Lanfang, those in economy class, left first.

Although Xu Xin can upgrade himself, this is obviously not the time to treat him differently.

Following the crowd is the right choice.

The leaders fly business class, and the soldiers fly economy class.

The business class class that was supposed to board the plane first was put to the back because of Zhang Yimou and the others' identities.

They get on the plane last and leave first after getting off the plane, so as to avoid being surrounded by fans and other fans to the greatest extent.

The entire journey was silent.

At almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon, everyone arrived in Hengdian.

Hengdian's airport is not big, but it looks very busy.

By the time Xu Xin and the others got out of the cabin, Zhang Yimou and the others were no longer visible.

But it doesn't matter, the car from the airport exit goes to the hotel together.

Xu Xin followed the team to get their luggage, while thinking about how to play a prank to scare Yang Mi.

As he stood in front of the conveyor belt and thought about it, his spirit began to slip a little.

At this time, the conveyor belt opens.

Xu Xin, who hadn't gathered his energy yet, saw a dark box.

Same as what I bought.

I didn't think much and took it.

Then after waiting for a while, after the other box was obtained, the others also took their suitcases.

Go all the way to the exit.

After walking out of the airport entrance...I suddenly felt a sweltering feeling.

It seems like it just rained in Hengdian?

A hot and humid feeling gave Xu Xin a blow to the head...

So hot……

At this time, there were two beeps.

Wei Lanfang turned around and saw the Golden Dragon.

"The car is there, let's go."

Following her words, everyone, including Xu Xin, followed the team, loaded their luggage and got into the car.

The car slowly drove away from the airport exit.

Looking at everything unfamiliar in front of him, Xu Xin had a faint curiosity in his eyes.

here……

Is it Hengdian?

And just when he was looking out the window with curiosity.

The short-haired middle-aged man who was on the same flight as him walked out of the toilet with some pain, looked at the location of the baggage claim area, and quickened his pace.
