I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 94 092. The martial arts wizard in the hotel late at night

Xu Daqiang has three days in a year that others must not mess with.

One is Qingming.

One is July 15th.

The last one is September 12th in the Gregorian calendar.

It was the anniversary of my wife's death.

In these three days, whoever dares to cause trouble for Xu Daqiang is making himself uncomfortable.

In these three days, Xu Daqiang regarded everyone as his enemy and disliked everyone.

For Xu Xin and Xu Miao, these three days are the most important. Since childhood, no matter rich or poor, the two brothers have never missed them.

I would buy yellow paper with my own hands and fold ingots for my mother.

When Xu Miao went to college outside, Xu Xin did this job.

But now that he is studying outside, Xu Miao has to do this job.

Tomorrow is Qingming Festival, the day for visiting graves. But as a foreigner who couldn't go back to worship, he followed the rules left by the older generation and burned the paper at the intersection the night before.

This kind of thing is more important than anything else in the Xu family.

There must be no delay.

At this moment, the flames are blazing.

Xu Xin skillfully used branches to stir the fire so that the yellow paper pressed underneath could burn more fully.

He was mumbling.

But since he was a child, no matter who asked him what he was talking about, he never told anyone.

Even my brother and dad.

Because... in his concept, there are only three days every year when he can "see" his mother.

He had a lot to say to his mother.

Talk about your own growth.

Talk about your own experience.

Talk about your happiness.

Talk about your sadness.

This is the secret between a mother and her son as young as they can be.

Please let the world be gentle.

But it has nothing to do with the world.

…

Only embers remained of the yellow paper.

Dark red flickers in the darkness.

It was like a response to his son, hot but gentle.

Xu Xin breathed a long sigh of relief.

As if he had been relieved of a lot of pressure, he took out the cigarette case from his pocket and lit a cigarette for himself.

"Mom, let's go."

He whispered and walked directly towards the hotel.

Didn't look back.

I don’t want to look back at this time.

At the same time, it is also best not to talk to others, especially if someone calls you, you must not look back or agree.

When he arrived at the hotel door, he sent a message to Wei Lanfang:

"Sister Wei, are you finished?"

"Are you finished?"

Wei Lanfang replied instantly.

Xu Xin was stunned. Did this sister guess what she was doing?

So smart...

As expected, it is not easy to be in the position of negotiator.

He sighed and replied:

"Well, should I go back now?"

"Wait a minute, I'll ask Director Zhang."

"good."

After waiting for about a minute or two, Wei Lanfang's message came back:

"Director Zhang said you don't need to come back. It's almost over here."

"Okay, Sister Wei, please help me tell Director Zhang that we can let Yang Mi go have a test in the evening."

"okay."

He walked directly to the hotel, but when he looked up, he suddenly saw Yang Mi walking this way with her head down and fiddling with her mobile phone.

"?"

Just as he was about to say hello, his phone vibrated.

Looking down...

"I came out to get something to eat. I'm starving. Are you done?"

"..."

"...Huh? Xu Xin?"

The girl who finished sending the message looked up and saw Xu Xin standing at the door outside the hotel.

Suddenly he was stunned.

"Why are you here?"

"..."

Looking at her with surprise in her eyes, Xu Xin thought for a moment and said nothing, but replied on his mobile phone:

"Go ahead."

With that said, he walked directly into the hotel.

"...?"

Yang Mi looked at this message and then at the boy who passed by her, feeling a little puzzled:

"Why don't you talk?"

After saying that, seeing Xu Xin walking towards the hotel, she shouted again:

"Xu Xin?"

"..."

Xu Xin was speechless.

But he really couldn't look back at this time.

According to the saying in my hometown, if you turn around and blow out a fire on your shoulder, dirty things will follow.

So he could only keep walking forward, holding his mobile phone at the same time, and sent another message to Yang Mi:

"You go to eat, I'm going back to the house first."

"...???"

Yang Mi frowned.

After thinking about it, she stopped going out and quickly chased Xu Xin, walking side by side with him.

"Why don't you talk?"

Xu Xin was speechless, thinking to himself, why are you chasing after me?

However, when he entered the hotel lobby, he took a look at the statue of Guan Gong standing next to a rockery.

Then he finally spoke:

"Didn't I ask you to eat something?"

"...Then why didn't you say anything just now?"

She became more serious.

Xu Xin shook his head:

"I just came back from burning paper outside. I can't talk or look back until I get home."

"Uh...burn paper?"

Yang Mi was stunned.

Then the first reaction in my mind was:

"You're quite superstitious."

But when I think about Tomb Sweeping Day tomorrow, I understand.

but……

Then don’t I have to burn it too?

Thinking of this, she quickly picked up the phone and dialed home.

While walking towards the elevator with Xu Xin.

"Hey, Dad... Tomorrow is Tomb-Sweeping Day, should I burn paper tonight?...Huh? Oh, okay, then I understand... It's not hard, it's okay... Well, I have something to do here, Dad, I’ll hang up first.”

After hanging up the phone, another doubt arose in her mind.

What dad said just now meant, "We are both alive. We will burn paper for our ancestors, and we don't need you as a junior."

So according to this meaning, it should be one generation after another?

Then he is burning paper here...

Could it be...

After thinking about it, she didn't ask.

The elevator came and the two of them walked in together.

"You're not going to eat?"

"Let's go back to the house and eat instant noodles."

Yang Mi shrugged.

I don’t know why, but his tone is particularly gentle:

"Go to your room and eat."

"...You don't have instant noodles in your house?"

"Yes~ My roommate has a lot of things to do."

She lied with her eyes open and said with a smile:

"I can wake her up from her dream with just a fart..."

"Hey~~~~~~"

Xu Xin’s eyes were filled with disgust:

"You are a little fairy, how can you fart?"

"..."

Yang Mi was startled...

Although she was also joking, her original intention was to make fun of herself and make him happy.

Unexpectedly...

"Oh, don't be like this..."

Somehow, her face started to turn red.

"..."

Xu Xinxin said that you really can’t hear the good words.

But looking at her like that, I thought she was quite cute, so she chuckled twice and asked:

"Then she didn't mind if you went back so late last night?"

"She can't tolerate everything, right? In order not to disturb her, I went out to read the script. I didn't even let her go back to the house... That would be too much."

The girl shrugged:

"I'll have a box of instant noodles for you for a while, I'll be full, and I'll have an audition soon! Just help me take a look~... Let me tell you, this is the first time in many years that I have taken a role so seriously. , Really! I will show you something in the room later, and you will know..."

"what do you know?"

"You know how serious I am!"

While talking, the elevator door opened.

The two of them got out of the elevator together.

When the door opened, Yang Mi smelled a faint smell of smoke.

Without waiting for Xu Xin behind her, she walked forward first, turned on the air conditioner, and ran towards the window.

After opening all the windows, closing the screens, the lights in the room turned on.

"Hey, look!"

She took off her slippers and stepped on Xu Xin's bed with one leg.

"..."

So white...

Xu Xin was confused for a while.

This girl's toes are too pretty.

One after another...

Long and white.

There is still a lovely pink color in the white.

Then……

She pulled up her trouser legs.

thin.

So fine.

It’s okay not to accept it.

Thin and white...

but……

"What are you looking at?"

Xu Xin, who was staring at the girl's calves openly, asked curiously.

Then the girl pulled her pant legs up to her knees.

Pointing at the unnatural red color on the knee:

"look!"

"Well……"

Xu Xin, whose eyes were mostly focused on her calves, glanced at her "reluctantly"...

"Why are your knees so red?"

"Because I have been kneeling for a long time!"

"...?"

For no reason, Xu Xin felt something was wrong.

It's not that the knee is wrong.

This is not quite right.

But if you ask him to really say what's wrong, he won't be able to tell.

But this...

It just looks very awkward...

Seeing that he didn't understand what he meant, Yang Mi waved her hand:

"Just watch."

As she said that, she suddenly knelt down on the bed.

Xu Xin immediately wanted to stand on the bed...

"Ahem."

He sat directly on the stool next to him, looked at the girl, tried hard to put aside the random thoughts in his mind, and asked:

"Jiang Chan kneels down to the Queen?"

"Um."

Yang Mi nodded and took a deep breath.

"call……"

The expression on her face completely calmed down, and then she made a gesture of raising her hands.

"Queen Qi, Shen Shi's medicine is ready."

A calm voice sounded.

The girl lowered her head slightly, her eyebrows lowered, calm and calm.

Nice expression.

Xu Xin nodded.

At least he is much better than Jay Chou.

perhaps……

Three Jay Chou.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw an abrupt rhythm in the girl's forehead muscles.

Her eyes looked up again.

After taking a look, he quickly took it back.

After the forehead muscles relaxed again, the voice came up again:

"Go back to the Queen, your servant is Jiang Chan."

After saying that, she paused for a while, then immediately raised her eyes to look at Xu Xin again. After blinking twice quickly, she lowered her head a little lower:

"Is the Queen asking this slave?... This slave is dedicated to serving the Queen's medicinal drinks. I don't know anything about Your Highness's affairs."

When she said this, she was looking away from Xu Xin.

The rhythm is very good. He looks left first, then makes a gesture to look at Xu Xin, and then quickly turns to the right.

Then take another quick look at Xu Xin from the right, and then look to the left.

All of a sudden, the feeling of looking left and right, talking right and left, came out.

Moreover, this kind of look is not Jay Chou's very artificial wandering, but a true manifestation of a guilty conscience.

At this moment, Xu Xin is the queen, and she is the maid Jiang Chan.

"……Um!"

Xu Xin felt comfortable immediately.

If there were three Jay Chou just now, then there are at least six or even seven Jay Chou's skills now.

From his eyes to the way he pretends to be calm during his lines.

At least it fits the role of Jiang Chan in his mind:

"great!"

He nodded:

"The eyes are right and the lines are right! ... I just need to be more subtle."

"Xu?"

The girl who had already put down her hands and was about to smile after hearing his compliment was stunned...

"right."

After thinking for a while, he said:

"Your voice is very recognizable, a bit milky. You understand, right? So you have to sound a little softer here. You try to make a long sound at the beginning of the two paragraphs "servant" and "your highness's affairs". Just a little bit. A little hesitant, but definitely not an obvious feeling, give it a try."

"Xiao Changyin...with a little hesitation..."

Yang Mi thought for a while and said:

"Slave~..."

She paused for a moment, then said:

"Specially serving the Queen's medicinal drinks. Your Highness's affairs... I don't know much about it."

"Stop pronunciation when it comes to Your Highness. The previous one seems a little hesitant. Try again. Slave, it represents your thinking capacity. After thinking about it, connect the following words together to express that you have already thought about the reasons. ~”

"This servant... is dedicated to serving the Queen's medicinal drinks. I don't know anything about His Highness."

"Yes, yes, this tastes just right."

Eight Jay Chou came out.

Xu Xin nodded:

"At least it seems to me that there is no problem!"

"……hey-hey."

The girl finally showed her little white teeth.

After pressing down on the mattress, he jumped up and sat on the sofa chair behind him and said:

"I put your mind at ease...my agent will arrive tomorrow."

"Um."

After this moment of hard work, Xu Xin, who dared to stand up, responded:

"Then what should you do with "The Condor"?"

"Let's put it together. My role there is too trivial, so I asked my agent to make an appointment. There is a company over there to communicate, and Director Yu is not a particularly strong person, so it will be fine. And I think Jiang Chan There are actually not many scenes here, as long as the filming goes smoothly... Ten days? Can it be finished in ten days? "

"It should be about the same..."

Xu Xin was confused.

"Then...what happened to the original actor...?"

She looked curious.

Xu Xin thought for a while and felt that it didn't matter if he said it now. After all, she had to know something in her mind... But she couldn't say too much, so she just said:

"The actor was hired by the producer. Teacher Gong Li had a conflict with the producer. It was nothing at first, but wasn't she bitten by a mosquito? The bite must have been quite serious, so Teacher Gong Li forcibly changed her. This is what we have been gambling on these days..."

"..."

After hearing his rough explanation, Yang Mi was suddenly stunned...

In front of Xu Xin, he said:

"It turns out...it's true."

"...What is true?"

"Gong Li and Zhang Weiping have a conflict... tsk tsk."

"?"

Looking at her seemingly transparent appearance, Xu Xin was a little puzzled:

"What do you mean...you seem to know the meaning of this very well?"

"Yeah, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"What's the meaning?"

"Just... I also heard what Sister Zeng told me in the afternoon. Sister Zeng didn't know what was going on here, but she knew that Sister Gong Li was in this drama, so she specifically told me and told me not to Get too close to sister Gong Li, and don’t get too close to the producer... It’s best if both parties don’t offend.”

"What's the reason?"

"The reason is... what Sister Zeng told me, I don't know whether it's true or not. But according to what she said, it seems... when Director Zhang... broke up with Sister Gong Li... it was... Zhang Weiping and his wife instigated it."

"...???"

Xu Xin was stunned:

"play off?"

"right."

Yang Mi nodded:

"But I don't know the specifics. Sister Zeng said that it was Sister Gong Li who wanted to marry Director Zhang at that time, but Director Zhang didn't agree... Later, because of a small conflict, it seemed that we had dinner at Zhang Weiping's house or something. , and the conflict broke out... I guess these two people were at odds. Director Zhang broke up with Sister Gong Li... After that, Sister Gong Li stopped cooperating with Director Zhang. Sister Zeng said that people in the circle were not very nice. I knew what was going on, but I didn’t know who said it later. They just said that it was Zhang Weiping and his wife who instigated Sister Gong Li’s breakup with Director Zhang.”

"Well……"

Although Yang Mi said it very vaguely.

But when Xu Xin thought of Gong Li's attitude towards Zhang Weiping...

For no reason, I felt that this was probably true.

Otherwise, the two of them have obviously moved on. As one of the "two Zhangs", Gong Li has no reason to be kind to everyone. She still thinks of Zhang Yimou in everything, and still retains that tenderness in her bones... but she is right. Zhang Weiping was filled with hatred...

Good guy...

If he met Zhao Liying and Zhang Jiao in the afternoon, he took the initiative to help them maintain their friendship, for fear that they would stab each other in the end...

So for Gong Li, Zhang Weiping just used two bone-cutting knives to chop her into meat paste, right?

I would rather demolish ten temples than break up one marriage.

How big of a vengeance is this?

Tsk tsk.

There was some emotion on his face:

"So that's it..."

"Hey, what would you do if it were you?"

Suddenly, Yang Mi said something unexpectedly.

"What?"

Xu Xin didn't react.

"Just...for example, let's say you meet someone...in the circle in the future. What would you do if this happened to you?"

"Hmm...meaning someone is instigating our relationship?"

"Yes, how would you handle it?"

Xu Xin rolled his eyes upward unconsciously, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"I think it would be good to imitate my dad."

"...Uncle Xu?"

Yang Mi was a little puzzled.

To be honest, she didn't have a good impression of Uncle Xu.

If it’s not for anything else, just for...your son to make a movie, you can praise him, is that so difficult?

Really...

Obviously, although she was able to persuade Xu Xin about what happened that day, she must be a little worried in her heart.

Xu Xin nodded:

"I heard what my brother said. He saw my parents quarreling. He said that when they quarreled, they wanted to kill each other... but they never had an overnight feud. My brother said that when he was a child, he was often beaten by me. Mom held her in her arms and covered her ears to prevent him from listening. Then the two of them were arguing there, but after my brother woke up, he could see my dad diligently helping my mother in the kitchen...

So I think, no matter if you are a couple or a couple, quarreling is definitely inevitable. But isn't there a saying that is good...I forgot who said it, but it probably means: There are at least 100 thoughts of divorce and 50 impulses to strangle each other to death in my life, and these 50 times are basically On the way to buy knives, I bought some groceries and went home, and my life went on. "

"Then we won't quarrel now?"

"Well……"

He seemed a little stunned in the girl's eyes, but immediately revealed a...

I don’t know why, but it makes people feel sad from the bottom of their hearts.

"No more arguing. What you remember now is the other person's."

Xu Xin took out the cigarette in his pocket and lit one for himself.

Yang Mi was a little confused.

She didn't understand where the distress in her heart came from.

But Xu Xin was unwilling to continue chatting on this topic. Instead, he held a cigarette and said:

"Okay, hurry up and boil the instant noodles, finish eating and get ready. We have to audition later."

"I won't eat anymore."

Yang Mi shook her head:

"If you eat instant noodles now, your face will be swollen tomorrow...it won't look good with makeup. Just go about your business and don't worry about me...I have to relax and relax."

"Um."

Xu Xin responded without thinking too much. He took the script of "Wulin Gaiden" and planned to read the rest of the story.

As a result, as soon as he finished smoking a cigarette, he heard a long exhale.

He raised his head instinctively...and suddenly the corner of his mouth twitched...

The girl wearing baggy sweatpants and a cotton T-shirt was doing Tai Chi with her legs in a horse stance, her hands half raised, her eyes closed...

"What are you doing?"

"Zhan Zhuang."

The girl didn't even open her eyes when she said:

"Teacher Yu taught me today. My habit is to practice yoga when I adjust my state, but I am a little shy to do some moves in front of you... Just do it like this. Zhanzhuang is the foundation. Teacher Yu said that zhanzhuang is actually standing. It is a "quiet mind." As long as you calm down, no matter whether you are thinking or doing anything, you will get twice the result with half the effort..."

"That's called getting twice the result with half the effort!"

"..."

The girl opened her eyes speechlessly, glanced at him, and then closed them again:

"Annoying! Don't talk to me, I'm cultivating my qi! When I cultivate my true qi, if you dare to disrespect me again, I will throw hidden weapons on the glass of your house every day!"

"..."

Xu Xin shook his head in amusement, but his eyes inevitably moved away from the script.

The writing desk is in the corner of the room by the window.

And his bed is a big bed.

In addition to the corridor leading to the bathroom, the only active area in the hotel is from the foot of the bed to the TV cabinet.

He didn't even need to squint. As long as he looked up, he could see the profile of the girl with her eyes closed and Tai Chi in her arms.

From the eyebrows to the nose, you can see it clearly.

While observing, suddenly, Yang Mi said:

"Don't look at me, read your script!"

"..."

Xu Xin instinctively felt guilty and lowered his head.

"Who's looking at you?"

"Hmph, don't you know that people who practice martial arts have a sixth sense? I have opened my eyes, and now I can control everything in this house. I can feel it even if I pick leaves and flowers, or if a hair falls on the ground. "

The girl didn't open her eyes, but she spoke with certainty.

"..."

Still open your eyes? Why don't you go to heaven?

Xu Xin was speechless, but he could not help but mutter in his heart:

"My dear, is it possible that you are really a martial arts wizard?"

So I didn't dare to glance around and read the script honestly.

The room grew quiet.

But who would have thought that I could watch it for two or three minutes when I suddenly heard another sentence:

"I told you, please concentrate and don't keep looking at me!"

"..."

The corners of his mouth twitched and he raised his head...

Grandma's.

A martial arts master?

Sure enough, I thought too much.
