I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 81 079. Bite

Early this morning.

Xu Xin felt guilty.

The reason is that after I woke up, I saw the message from this woman...

Melon girl, what a saying!

Even just seeing you dancing there makes your eyes go straight?

I, Xu Sanjin, am a good citizen who turned back from his evil ways and returned to the right ways, okay?

Melon woman...

The eyes are weird~

Do you blame others for having beautiful legs?

Feeling guilty and dissatisfied, he got up at around 6 o'clock and went downstairs to have breakfast.

Not to mention anything else, maybe when it comes to "getting up early", he is really the top player in the team.

After having a comfortable breakfast, it was just 7 o'clock.

He went upstairs and read the script of "Wulin Gaiden" for half an hour.

I read it entirely as a story, and I have already seen Zhu Wushuang’s appearance.

But let’s be honest…

Based on the story he has seen so far, he has completely failed to see the importance of the role of "Zhu Wushuang".

It feels like a junior sister in the "Sunflower Sect", just looking for senior brother Bai Zhantang.

There is basically no difference from some of the characters in the previous stories.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a particularly important role.

But by chance, the role of Zhu Wushuang was assigned to the main role.

I guess he will play a very important role in the later stage?

It was almost time to rest and he closed the script.

I’ve only watched over thirty episodes now, and there’s still half of it left, so I’ll watch it later.

While thinking about it, he put on his basketball shoes.

…

Fallback jump shot!

"DUANG!"

"..."

Xu Xin, who felt his hand was knocked back to its original shape, didn't care. He picked up the basketball that bounced off the wall. After playing with it casually, he picked up the ball again and put on a very standard triple threat. gesture.

Among the golden generation of the 2003 NBA draft, he didn't like James. The other player played... To be honest, it lacked a sense of beauty.

On the contrary, I really like Carmelo Anthony, nicknamed Melo.

Mainly, this guy's triple threat is really cool.

Holding the ball, he made a few tentative steps, took one step to the right, and made another drastic change of direction. He twisted his waist with an increasingly strong core force in the air. After changing hands for a layup, he had already After playing for about forty minutes, he walked directly to the sidelines and rested against the wall while drinking water.

At this time, almost no one came to the gym. Although I was having a lot of fun...basketball is a multi-player sport after all.

He was a little bored now.

I plan to take a break, go outside and practice some equipment, and then end today’s exercise.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a man wearing a hip-hop style headscarf walking in from the fitness area outside the stadium.

Xu Xin was stunned.

Jay Chou?

On his head...it should be the kind of headscarf that black people often wear. He is wearing a pair of shoes that should be Allen Iverson's Question 1 if I read it correctly. He is wearing a pair of nine-point basketball shorts that are a little too big and short-sleeved. Jay Chou in a T-shirt walked in.

Alone.

Xu Xin was a little surprised...but thinking about it carefully...

Oh yes, the leading actors are off today.

But if you don't spend time in the room thinking about your character's status during the break, why are you here playing basketball?

Could it be...

His eyes became a little playful.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the other party walking straight over.

And he didn’t have the ball in his hands.

Xu Xin didn't know if the hotel had basketballs. He bought the ball at the door.

Anyone who plays basketball regularly knows that there are many hidden rules on the basketball court. For example, when you buy water when playing basketball, you either have to buy your own water, or your teammates who played with you today buy a bottle for each one.

Or you can put the cigarette in your pocket and smoke it yourself. If you take it out and put it under the basketball stand, anyone can smoke one...

Among the many unspoken rules for making friends through basketball, one is the most important.

If you have the ball and others don't, let's play together.

Don't hold the ball and not give it to me.

Therefore, following this rule, after seeing Jay Chou without the ball, Xu Xin directly threw the ball in his hand towards the opponent.

There was no greeting, nothing like standing up and calling "Teacher Jielun" respectfully.

No need.

Familiarity or unfamiliarity is secondary, the main thing is that you are here to play ball... let alone strangers, even if your biological father comes, he will still be a stranger.

Who cares how famous you are?

But unexpectedly, after Jay Chou took the ball, he took the initiative to say to Xu Xin:

"Thanks."

After saying that, Xu Xin watched him perform a few streetball moves in a daze...

It’s okay, although it’s not standard, but it’s not tacky either.

He didn't do any particularly awkward movements like rolling around on the ground while suddenly rolling around on the ground.

If you can’t confuse your opponent, who can you show it to?

People who don’t know think you are going to knock one.

Then……

Well, it's not bad, the shooting action is also standard, but it's not as good-looking as our old Xu.

"DUANG~"

The accuracy is also average.

Through the perspective of a basketball enthusiast, after roughly identifying the opponent with a few moves and one shot, Xu Xin's ghost disappeared silently.

The purity is too low.

After unscrewing the lid and taking a sip of water, Jay Chou made one of three shots.

Then, the two had their first real communication from meeting to getting to know each other.

"Bullfighting?"

"..."

Seeing Jay Chou holding the ball and extending the invitation, Xu Xin was slightly surprised.

He has never been to Wanwan Province and doesn’t know the rules.

But young man, don’t you know that calling people to bullfight is a very provocative behavior here in the mainland?

Do you think our local gang is too polite?

So he nodded:

"Okay. How many balls?"

"Five?"

Hearing this probing question, Xu Xin nodded:

"good."

"Goal exchange?"

"OK."

After nodding in agreement continuously, Xu Xin agreed.

And looking at Jay Chou, who was standing at the free throw line without moving anywhere... Are you trying to give me the right to attack?

young man...

You are so brave~

Didn't you see that I'm wearing Kobe Bryant's?

After walking outside the three-point range and catching the ball thrown by Jay Chou, he made a triple-threat move.

Well, the sun sets and the sky turns dark, and every house has its doors closed.

There is another house whose door is unlocked. Let me, Mr. Xu, invite the Great Melon God first.

The three-threat move was put in place. Jay Chou had naturally seen the fadeaway jumper that day and knew that the opponent had a shot, so he quickly followed up.

As soon as Ke Ren came up, Xu Xin had a time lag with him and rushed to the left.

Jay Chou's reaction was naturally not slow, and he followed Xu Xin and started moving to the left.

Then……

Xu Xin, who was making a big change of direction, looked at this guy who flew a step away...

Well, sure enough.

The purity is too low.

"Pop."

Two quick dribbles and a running layup.

1 to 0

"nice shot!"

As a result, I heard some scornful approval from Jay Chou.

Xu Xin raised his eyebrows, looked at him walking straight away from the three-point line, picked up the ball and threw it.

And when he reached the free throw line, the ball was passed again.

He patted it, passed it to the opponent again, and also took a step forward.

After all, they are not professional players. In fact, in 1V1, amateur players usually guard against breakthroughs rather than shots, because the hit rate is not that high.

But when people were wary of him, he didn't show it.

After taking a step forward, he opened his hand and lowered his center.

"Pah, pah, pah, pah..."

The sound of rhythmic dribbling sounded.

Xu Xin followed him and moved from the center line to the left, which seemed to be his high-hitting area. He tried several fast-paced changes of direction, but saw that Xu Xin did not falter at all and blocked the outside line, leaving a trap for the bottom line. After the break, he was not fooled.

It's too easy to slide the baseline and get blocked from all angles.

Start dribbling with the intention of moving toward the midline.

Xu Xin also guessed his intention. When Jay Chou moved, he also moved. But as soon as he took a step, the rhythm of the basketball changed.

Quickly tapping and rebounding, Jay Chou took small steps toward the baseline.

When Xu Xin found out, it was already too late.

It was too late to pounce. When he reached out his hand, the opponent's ball had already been thrown.

"Uh-huh."

"1 to 1~"

"……Ok, Ok."

After being slightly surprised, a smile appeared on Xu Xin's face.

"Can you hit me from behind?"

"good."

Jay Chou nodded and followed Xu Xin directly to a position at an angle of 45 degrees outside the three-second zone.

Xu Xin took the ball and turned his back to him.

And his elbow also touched Xu Xin's waist.

It’s a bit interesting.

Holding the ball and constantly testing the opponent's strength with his back, Xu Xin became interested.

This is an opponent who likes to use his brain to play.

So……

He rolled his eyes, leaned back, and dribbled.

After using the standard inside steps, he pushed twice.

The strength of the two people is actually about the same. It cannot be said that they can move or not move, and the other party has not lost his position.

But the position of the two has changed from close to the free throw line to a 30-degree angle closer to the basket.

"Snapped!"

On the last dribble, Xu Xin suddenly turned over with the ball.

Sure enough, when he turned around, he saw Jay Chou who had already rushed towards him.

His guess was absolutely correct.

The opponent really thought he was going to take a fadeaway jumper... After all, there was no reason why he couldn't see the fadeaway jumper like yesterday in the gym for so long.

but……

You've been fooled, boy.

He turned around and leaned back, but before he could jump, Jay Chou had already jumped up.

To put it bluntly, he was blown away by his fake move.

Xu Xin then let him go, took a step forward with his non-axis foot, and stood up.

Another standard turnaround layup, picking the ball in.

"Cup!"

"..."

As soon as he landed, Xu Xin was stunned when he heard the sound behind him...

After turning her head to look at him, she suddenly laughed:

"Haha~"

I don't think it's anything.

Who stipulates that the little king can't curse in the street?

It's not normal to have some spoken language when playing basketball.

"It's 2 to 1. Whoever loses, please drink some water?"

Three balls aroused his interest, and Xu Xin asked, feeling like he had found a golfer.

"Okay, I thought you were going to shoot the ball backwards."

"You're too easy to eat."

"..."

The words were thrown in the little king's face, and Jay Chou, who took the ball, dribbled the ball quickly...

…

About ten minutes later.

Dani went upstairs with four bottles of mineral water.

When he opened the door of the gym, he saw Mr. Xu jumping high from yesterday. When he was falling, Brother JAY in front of him jumped up and shot the ball steadily.

"DUANG~"

The ball didn't go in.

But Brother JAY’s somewhat proud voice sounded:

"Aren't you flying too?"

"You don't have three points, what should I be afraid of?"

Then, the snapping sound sounded again.

In Dani's opinion, the two seemed to be fighting a bullfight, and their movements... were not reserved.

That Mr. Xu used his back to push Brother JAY back and forth, and then he didn’t know how he did it, but he turned around and what he was doing, and finally was handsomely interfered by Brother JAY and dropped the basketball.

"Oh, Dani."

Grasping the ball, Jay Chou waved when he saw his assistant coming.

Dani hurried over and handed him a bottle of water. She saw that Brother JAY did not drink it, but threw it to Mr. Xu.

Then he picked up the water in the plastic bag and said:

"Is there anyone else you know? Shall we have a 3V3?"

Xu Xin shook his head:

"I don't know. When you start filming, I'll ask the crew."

Xu Xin said while drinking water.

Jay Chou asked curiously:

"Are you in charge of creative ideas for the Olympic Games?"

"That's right. Didn't you, your assistant, stop you from leaving yesterday?"

"Well……"

"..."

Dani was a little embarrassed, but remembered Brother JAY's instructions and quickly apologized.

But I heard this Mr. Xu say again:

"You know me this time, right? Don't stop me next time."

When he said this, there was a smile on his face.

He doesn't seem to care.

But in fact, Xu Xin had probably guessed what was going on in the scene before him.

There are not so many coincidences in this world.

He didn't believe that a little Asian king who wanted to play basketball would put on a professional-looking hip-hop streetball outfit but not bring the ball.

I don’t even believe that the little king wanted to play basketball. As an assistant, he didn’t prepare the basketball immediately. Instead, after the two of them won 5 goals, the other party only brought up a few bottles of water...

There is a supermarket right in front of the Guomao Building. It may not be big in scale, but because film crews often stay in this hotel, it has everything from food to hardware, clothes, shoes, hats, and sunglasses. He bought his basketball in that supermarket. From buying the basketball to getting in the hotel elevator, it only took 20 minutes at most.

Therefore, the idea that Jay Chou wants to play basketball but the girl who is his assistant is not ready to play is not valid in the first place.

With this perspective, what happens next is easy to guess.

After guessing the result, let’s measure it.

Do you want to give me this face?

Turns out it's no big deal.

The most basic point is that an acquaintance is better than an enemy.

So everyone showed their attitude, and Xu Xin gave up the steps.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Da Nier's apology was much smoother than the sudden apology:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, we were too reckless yesterday."

"It's okay, it's not a big deal... Playing a round? Playing a round, I have to go to a meeting."

After waving his hands and directly accepting the other party's apology, Xu Xin looked at Jay Chou.

"Okay, come on!"

Passing the water to Da Nier, the two came to the center line, and the war reignited.

…

"Are you exercising again?"

Seeing Xu Xin, who was still sweating, walk into the conference room, Ma Wen asked.

Xu Xin nodded and sat directly next to her:

"Director Ma, can I tell you something?"

"Just tell me."

Ma Wen was a little curious:

"What's wrong?"

Then Xu Xin smiled:

"I just played against Jay Chou and had two rounds of bullfighting."

"..."

Ma Wen's eyes immediately lit up and she said:

"Did you sign the ball?"

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

This sister is really hopeless.

Then he looked around and saw that everyone from the creative team was coming, but Wei Lanfang, her camera, and Director Zhang were missing, and asked:

"Where are Director Zhang and Sister Wei?"

"I was there just now, but Director Cheng said that there was some problem with the crew and he went to deal with it. Xiao Wei accompanied him. It was still in the audition hall yesterday. Let's just wait here for Director Zhang to come back."

"oh oh."

In response, Xu Xingang was about to rest on a chair for a while and smoke a cigarette, when he heard Ma Wen say:

"Is he physically strong?"

"..."

Fine.

…

In the audition hall, Zhang Yimou frowned and looked at Assistant Shen in front of him:

"Swelled? How did it become swollen? Where is he now?"

Assistant Shen shook his head:

"The agent took him to the hospital."

"...Why is it swollen? Is it serious?"

"It looks quite serious..."

"Pretty serious?"

Zhang Yimou's brows were really wrinkled this time.

"How did you do it? Why did it happen all of a sudden?"

"……Said to be……"

Assistant Shen hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Yes... isn't the crew of "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" also here? She was taken there by her manager to visit the cast. Then she was bitten by a mosquito, biting her eyelid... It was nothing last night. , I felt swollen when I woke up this morning, plus allergies..."

"Why would she go over there to visit the class if she has nothing to do? A newcomer, what kind of crew does she want to visit?"

Zhang Yimou frowned more and more.

After hearing this, Assistant Shen did not hide anything and said in a low voice:

"After you chose her for the show, a lot of people were speculating about her... saying that she was your favorite girl, and then... both companies Huanrui and Hesong were vying for her... I think it should be Hesong. The conditions offered there are better. He Rundong has been so popular in recent years... Hesong must have given some kind of promise..."

"..."

In an instant, Zhang Yimou was speechless.

Looking for a girl...

He chose a crappy girl. He didn't even choose this person!

His eyes were full of helplessness, but he had to ask:

"Have you seen anyone?... Can you cover it with makeup?"

Assistant Shen shook his head firmly:

"It's absolutely impossible to cover it up. Her right eye is swollen to a slit, and when I see her, her face and neck are covered with red bumps... Although I don't know how many days the sequelae of this allergy will disappear, But I looked at the degree of swelling on the face, and it would take at least three to five days... The mosquitoes here are so poisonous that the bulge really can't be removed. I even specifically asked the makeup artist, concealer is not working, it's really... real."

"..."

As he described, Zhang Yimou's breathing became visibly thicker.

It was obviously on fire.

But he didn't get angry, but looked at his watch...

After realizing that there was still some time, he said:

"Let everyone else come out for a fitting first, and then you take the time to communicate with her and see what the doctor says. I'll go to the meeting first... Xiaodong, keep an eye on this side, okay? Over there People are still waiting for me."

"no problem."

Cheng Xiaodong agreed happily.

Zhang Yimou then stood up and left the house with Wei Lanfang.

Soon, the two returned to the small conference room.

As soon as they saw him coming, everyone stopped chatting, and Zhang Yimou picked up Xu Xin's drawing from his seat and posted it on the blackboard behind him with a magnet:

"What do you think of this idea..."

…

"call……"

Yang Mi looked at herself in the mirror, feeling a little nervous for no reason.

I even feel out of breath.

I don't know if it's the clothes on my body that are constricting me, or just pure nervousness.

Early this morning, Assistant Shen contacted her and asked her to follow other actors for a costume fitting.

After arriving at the place, she was personally introduced by Assistant Shen to the make-up person in charge of the crew, in front of Wen Runling, the make-up master with the title of "Golden Face" in the film and television industry in Hong Kong...

Yang Mi was actually quite happy to meet Teacher Wen again.

It's just a pity that the other party obviously doesn't remember her anymore. She doesn't remember that when Master Xing came to the mainland to film "Su Qier", she did his own makeup.

But it doesn’t matter if you can’t remember.

Teacher Wen doesn’t remember, I just remember.

So, when she affectionately called "Aunt Wen" in a junior way, Wen Runling was obviously a little surprised.

Taking advantage of her surprise, Yang Mi told her that she was filming "Su Qier", playing the role of the star's daughter at the end of the movie. When the red rope of the two braids was tied by Aunt Wen herself, one thing is a person. As time passed by, Wen Runling's attitude toward her instantly became intimate.

After being intimate, it’s time to put on a good look.

I can't say what's good about it, but it just looks very comfortable.

It magnified the advantages of her facial features while perfectly hiding her bangs hairstyle and the flaws on her face.

After the makeup was completed, an image of a particularly dignified and elegant palace lady appeared in front of the mirror.

Very beautiful.

Although Yang Mi doesn’t really like the color of this lip gloss.

But I look really beautiful in the mirror.

As for...

She lowered her head and glanced.

The phrase "your body proportions are not advantageous" comes to mind.

"Hmph..."

She snorted softly.

Although I'm not sure if he will be able to see it for a while...

It's best to see.

Then I want to ask you, you damn guy, whose body proportions are not advantageous!

…

"There are 29 footprints in total, representing the spirit of the 29th Olympic Games. We inherited the Olympic spirit of the previous 28 Olympic Games, and then left our own footprints in this long history. And this is my design concept, thank you Everyone."

After bowing to express his thanks and explaining the design concept of his design in detail, he capped the pen as before, put the pen back to its original place, and sat back next to Ma Wen.

"What do you think?"

Zhang Yimou relaxed his frown, and after asking, he took the lead in expressing his opinion:

"I think the design of this big footprint is great and can be included in our plan. Then in the next few days, I will ask Guoqiang to make a fireworks simulation. When the Golden Armor starts shooting, we will see the effect in the Daming Palace. ,how?"

"Can."

Zhang Wu spoke for the second time:

"The concept of footprints is indeed quite new. Looking at the previous Olympic Games, most of the places where fireworks are used are in the main venues. A step-by-step design like this is quite novel... If the country is strong, it is not difficult. big?"

Upon hearing this, Zhai Guoqiang shook his head without any hesitation:

"It's very simple. If we really do it, it will definitely be done within three days. Then let's try it. How about it?"

"What about the rest?"

Following Zhang Yimou's words, everyone began to express their opinions.

But the content of the conversation is actually the same.

Some modification suggestions were given, such as the color of the fireworks.

There is no need to go into these details again. Finally, after confirming that they would simulate it first, Chen Weiya said:

"If you have a conspiracy, you have to pay attention to confidentiality matters. You definitely can't hide fireworks..."

"It doesn't matter, just say that the crew of "The Golden Armor" wants to use it."

Zhang Yimou waved his hand:

"It's not uncommon for Hengdian to have explosions or fireworks every three to five days, if not every day. As long as we don't tell anyone, no one will know what we are doing. They might even think that we are doing special effects..."

Before he finished speaking, suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

After Assistant Lin bowed politely to everyone, he said to Zhang Yimou:

"Director Zhang, Director Cheng is here to see you for something."

"...Okay, let's just say this first, I'll go down there."

Zhang Yimou stood up and waved to everyone to dismiss the meeting.

Then walked out.

Wei Lanfang quickly followed with a camera.

She had to film various clips of the creative team, and this kind of clip where Director Zhang was busy between the movie and the opening ceremony was definitely needed.

As soon as he went out, he heard Zhang Yimou ask:

"What's wrong?"

"Director Cheng has taken a fancy to an actor and wants you to go and have a look."

"...Actor? What actor?"

Zhang Yimou was a little puzzled.

Assistant Lin also shook his head:

"Director Cheng didn't say anything, but suddenly asked me to come up and call you, telling you to get down quickly."

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

Zhang Yimou stopped asking and took his assistant into the elevator with Wei Lanfang.

…

On the other side, when Ni Dahong, Chen Jin, Guo Changhui and others who played the role of Imperial Physician Jiang, his wife, the eunuch who told the time, and the leader of the imperial army went back to change their clothes, Yang Mi was the only one left on the entire podium.

She was a little uneasy.

I don’t understand why Director Cheng wanted to leave him alone.

But I didn’t dare to ask.

And just then...

The door to the audition hall was pushed open.

Zhang Yimou walked in first.

"..."

Yang Mi's face turned pale...

Why is Director Zhang here? ! ! !
