I'm the director, I'm not bad

Since he wanted to drink at night, Xu Xin went to the Northeast BBQ.

There was also a little episode there.

Brother Li came out wiping away tears.

It was a miserable cry.

Xu Xin hurriedly asked what was going on, and only then did he know that onions were being chopped in front of the barbecue booth.

Nothing happened at first, but after seven cuts, the crying one was miserable.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Brother Li, who was still wiping away tears, went back to prepare the dishes. Xu Xin, Liang Bingning, and Yang Tianzhen sat in the private room and chatted.

Zhao Liying and Zhang Jiao didn't follow, but went to pack their things.

Anyway, it's in the opposite community, so it's convenient to come and take care of her at any time.

It could be seen that Liang Bingning was really tired.

After some cold dishes were served, he poured white wine into the glass, and the first time he touched Xu Xin, he drank half of the glass in one go.

Seeing Xu Xin frowned:
"Drink so fast?"

"fine."

Liang Bingning shook the remaining half glass of wine, perhaps because of the spiciness, bloodshot eyes began to appear in her eyes.

It's the kind that pops up all of a sudden.

It's a bit scary at first glance.

However, as her breathing became steady, her double eyelids, which were used as a template by many plastic surgery hospitals, quickly began to have another layer of folds, and her eye sockets were also sunken.

It's like a balloon that quickly "dries up" after being punctured.

Seeing her in this state, Xu Xin understood...

She is really tired.

Think about it too.

What is the concept of the seven film and television drama works?
With her status, she is naturally not the kind of actor who ends up in three to five days.

The absolute heroine status proves that she has to stay in each crew for at least one month, which is the minimum.

And it takes a whole year to be so busy.

No one can stand it.

It's almost August, which means she has been working continuously for half a year.

With this sip of wine, Xu Xin really saw what a workaholic is capable of.

Perhaps seeing his frown, Liang Bingning said with a smile:

"It's been a long time since I wanted to drink. It's okay, take your time and drink as much as you want."

"Drink until you're fine, I was just thinking, Sister Bingbing, can you bear the intensity of your work? Not to mention, after a crew ends and a role ends, you need at least some time to change your status?"

"Um."

"Then you can convert?"

"how to say……"

Looking at the cigarette Xu Xin put on the table, she directly took it over and pulled out one from it.

Moreover, she also did something that only smokers understand.

He slammed the filter tip of the cigarette on the back of his hand several times before he lit the cigarette.

This is done to make the tobacco inside tighter.

After tightening, the pumping force will be stronger and the smoke will be more.

Xu Xin basically wouldn't do this unless he was extremely tired.

But after lighting it up, she took a deep breath before continuing:
"Some scenes need to focus on the heart, and some scenes can not use the brain. "

"..." Xu Xin frowned.

As a director, obviously, this is his least favorite statement.

But facing his frown, Liang Bingning just shook her head slightly:

"It can't be helped. Just kidding, even if you asked me to take on a play by such a big director in the past two years, I wouldn't take it. This is my current strategy~"

"...Is it to make money?"

"Um."

With the smoke in between, her eyes looked more and more tired under the smoke.

"On the one hand, it is to make money, and on the other hand, it is also to improve the status. Therefore, not only
It's filming, as well as commercial endorsements, ceremonies, business trips... I pay high prices.This price is set to enhance my own business value, and as long as the company is willing to pay, it means that it is not a small company.Working with them also helps my own career move forward. "

"So, on the one hand, it's money, on the other hand, it's status..."

"right."

"...The company's strategy for you?"

"Um."

Liang Bingning didn't hide anything, she just said as usual:
“Status at home and influence abroad go hand in hand.”

"What about the ultimate goal?"

"The ultimate goal?"

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Liang Bingning smiled and asked:

"What do you think."

"..."

In fact, after Xu Xin asked this question, he immediately got the answer in his mind.

Yes, this kind of marketing strategy, and the level of hard work, besides the "No. [-]" throne, will there be other things?
Actresses...even aim for the big ones.

The commercial value of all actors is NO.1.

Besides this throne, what else could be worth her so much effort?
"I can't compare with Mimi."

While thinking about it, Xu Xin suddenly heard such a sentence.

Liang Bingning picked up the wine glass again.

This is about to take a second sip.

And the white wine seemed to have become red wine at this moment, being shaken by her, amidst the scent of the wine, there was a faint, elusive taste in her tone:

"That's why I need to work harder to make myself a rich man."

"..."

In a word, Xu Xin felt her obsession.

Is it rich...

Xu Xin didn't know if his family was considered a wealthy family.

Nouveau riche, he admits.

But something like a wealthy family...

Money alone is not enough.

So he will seek transformation.

But he is standing on the shoulders of giants.

But the elder sister in front of her wants to manually complete a kind of "magnificent" blueprint... which can almost be defined as "class leap".

To be honest, Xu Xin was quite impressed.

But it's more of a...maybe it's because you're already married? It's more of a kind of thinking with a somewhat "experienced" mentality.

"Establish a career first and then start a family?... If you really plan to do this, it's really hard work alone. Not to mention, it will take at least two or three years for you to be in this state? After two or three years..."

Hearing this, the woman smiled wickedly:

"Why? Want to introduce me to a boyfriend?"

"That's not true. I was just thinking that you are really tired like this. If there is someone who is considerate and gentle around you who can take care of you, maybe the journey will be easier."

"Be gentle and considerate?"

Liang Bingning suddenly smiled.

"What about his background? What kind of person do you think I am suitable for?"

"...Background?"

Xu Xin was taken aback.

Liang Bingning nodded:

"That's right... Let me give you an example. I don't talk about anyone else, just you."

Xu Xin rolled his eyes:
"Why use me as an example?"

Hearing this, Liang Bingning handed over the cup:

"Who told us to drink?"

"Ding."

The glasses were touched, and Xu Xin said:
"Drink slowly."

Liang Bingning nodded silently, but one sip of wine drained the remaining half of the glass.

And Xu Xincai drank a quarter of Baba's.

"For example, you are just an ordinary director. Even that kind of family is just an ordinary family, and there is no light
Ring's kind of director. "

"..."

Do you think this is the beginning?
Xu Xin was a little speechless, but immediately answered:
"Ordinary families... just earn three to five million yuan a year, and the family can't afford a big house, which is only three to five hundred square meters. They can't afford to drive a Ferrari when they go out, and they can only drive a 500 to make do with it, right?"

"..."

"...??? "

Let alone Liang Bingning now.

Yang Tianzhen couldn't help but raised her head and looked at Xu Xin in front of her.

I wonder if your old man has any misunderstandings about ordinary families?
"Haha~"

Xu Xin smiled and waved his hands:
"Just kidding, kidding. Sister Bingbing, you continue."

"..."

Liang Bingning opened her mouth, and then she connected her thoughts just now.

"Okay... okay. It's just an ordinary director, and my identity will remain the same, just like now."

"Then we're together?"

"Yes. If we were together and then accidentally exposed by the media, what do you think you will face?"

"Facing what...?"

Xu Xin was taken aback.

Liang Bingning nodded:

"Well, according to what you said, you are very gentle, considerate, and good at taking care of others. You can take good care of women. We are together, and it was exposed by the reporters."

Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

"Bear the brunt, it should be digging up my information? For example, how ordinary my family is or something... Then it is digging up our love history, such as how did we know each other and how did we get together?"

"That's for sure, I mean, have you considered what you're dealing with?"

"Don't you just face these?"

"Do not."

Liang Bingning shook her head:

"What you have to face is that wherever you go, people's first impression of you will always be: Liang Bingning's boyfriend. No matter what you do, whether it's filming, or attending any event with me, we two Regardless of whether you are in the same frame or different frames, everyone’s first impression, description, and cognition of you will always be Liang Bingning’s boyfriend.”

"..."

Now, Xu Xin frowned.

He vaguely seemed to understand what this sister meant.

I only heard Liang Bingning say:
"Your career is nothing, the media will say: Liang Bingning's boyfriend is nothing.Women are strong and men are weak, you can only rely on women for food, and you will be scolded as a bad face.And if you have achieved something in your career, the media will say: Liang Bingning brought her boyfriend up and gave her boyfriend resources... Do you know what it means to a man to be unworthy of a name? "

"..."

The frown turned into deep thought.

After thinking about it, he asked:
"In other words, Miss Bingbing can't accept this way of getting along with strong women and weak men?"

"Yes. Because it is destined to end badly~"

"..."

For some reason, Xu Xin always felt that she seemed to have a lot of stories.

but……

"If you don't accept this kind of status gap, then that means... your current career goal is doomed for you to find, and you can only find a boyfriend... who is at least equal to your status?"

Liang Bingning smiled and shrugged, her tone was relaxed:

"That's right. Of course, it's not absolute... What about another ten years? If I really achieve the first place, won't I still have to abdicate after ten years? At that time, my mind may have settled down, and the outside exposure will not be so great. It’s high. Maybe it will be more sensible by then... But at this stage, if you want to find it, you can only find something similar. If you can’t find it, then I’ll wait until it’s not popular in the future and find an honest person... ..."

Xu Xin had a strange look in his eyes.

Apologize to the honest man!
He shook his head helplessly
"Your entrepreneurial spirit..."

"Not good, right?"

Liang Bingning picked up the wine glass again.

But this time she didn't clink glasses with Xu Xin, but for some reason, after looking at him twice, she said:
"Actually, someone told me that it probably means that a woman's family is stable and happy. Money can't be earned, and someone who loves me and loves me will not feel empty."

"...This is probably also a master who can stand and talk without back pain."

"..."

Liang Bingning's expression twitched unnaturally.

No words.

On the contrary, Xu Xin:
"The credo I believe in is mutual respect. For example, Yang Mi and I, we have never had a deep conversation on this aspect. Although... I am also curious why she is so career-minded... It's not right, her career The heart is actually not heavy, but just like you, Sister Bingbing, she also has a kind of obsession with her status in the circle that she doesn't know how to appear.

I can see it, so the two of us have never communicated about how to make career choices in the future from before marriage to now, including the birth of the child right away.I don't want to kill her career or anything because I know she's obsessed with it.If you love her, sacrifice more for her.

For the same reason, I think she actually thinks so in her heart.So the two of us may compromise and give way in the future.But at the end of the day, I respect her career the most, and she respects mine for the same reason.So the person who said this to you is pure nonsense.If things were so simple, there would be no such thing as divorce in this world. "

"..."

Under Liang Bingning's... inexplicable gaze, Xu Xin waved his hand:

"As for your own career planning, since you have embarked on this path, don't look forward and backward.One day, you will also meet someone who is worthy of your compromise and willing to sacrifice.And he will reward you with sacrifices that belong to him.At least I think so.So I think what this person said is wrong... To be exaggerated, he is farting here~"

"Uh……"

Liang Bingning opened her mouth...

A word blocked his throat.

But she couldn't say it.

It's a little uncomfortable to hold back.

Finally simply...

"Let's not talk about this anymore, come on, this glass of wine is over.The two of us don't drink too much today, you half a catty and I half a catty, and we disband after drinking ~ ""Well, do it." The two cups collided.

The sweet wine flowed across the throat and flowed to the stomach pouch.

Brings out a bit of mellow burning sensation and fragrance.

That is a wonderful taste called a line of throat.

……

"Did you two drink together?"

"Yes."

After talking about what happened in the afternoon, Xu Xin leaned against the head of the bed and said in a slightly drunk light state:
"I didn't drink too much, half a catty per person. "

"What are you talking about?"

"Just talking nonsense, she has seven plays this year, and she looks really tired. Her face is exhausted~ We are at Brother Li's. As soon as the cold dishes were served, she was bored for half a cup in one breath."

"Gudu..." Yang Mi swallowed her saliva:

"I want to drink too~"

"Be patient~"

"Hmm...what else did she talk to you about?"

"Actually, it's nothing to talk about. It's nothing more than her few plays. But I talked about a very interesting thing."

"what?"

"Speaking of which, I found a boyfriend..."

After briefly describing the content of the dinner conversation, Xu Xin said:
"I listened to her talking there, and sometimes I felt that we were lucky.There is not so much right and wrong, and there is no status gap or what to do.Otherwise, judging from your current appearance as an old man who is so popular, if I want to be with you, someone may introduce me as Yang Mi's boyfriend. "

"Hmm...that sounds really uncomfortable.My own efforts have been distorted by some people as someone else's credit... Don't talk about a man, I can't stand it as a woman. "

"Yes."

"That said, I guess her love life will be quite bumpy in the future. "

"I don't know... Anyway, it has nothing to do with me... What are you doing?"

"I just came back from Master.Let's talk about "The Grandmaster".Master told me a lot about Gong Baotian's generation.If people don't give the script, we can only perfect it ourselves. "

"Well, fine.Then I'm going to bed, is there anything you want to eat here in Shanghai? Bring it back for you?"

"No, there are all at home. Then you can rest~ Remember to put a glass of water next to the bed, so you won't be thirsty in the middle of the night."

His wife's thoughtful care warmed his heart:
"Yeah. I love you~"

"Hee hee~ I love you too~MUA~"

Through the phone, Xu Xin could feel his wife's longing.

Of course, it's also disgusting.

How dirty is the phone screen...

I really have to talk~
After hanging up the phone, he went to the bathroom to take a shower, then lay down on the bed, and yawned lazily.

The meal with Liang Bingning at night did not affect his outlook on life or the world.

It's just small talk.

However, I have to admit that he quite likes the situation where everyone can let go of their utilitarianism and talk to each other over a pot of wine.

Drinking is also fun.

Although after drinking half a catty of wine, Liang Bingning, who was obviously not satisfied, still wanted to open a second bottle.

But he was stopped by him who also didn't drink to his heart's content.

The daughter-in-law is still at home, even if she is a friend when she is away from home, but drinking here alone, being a little drunk is already the bottom line he has set for himself.

No matter how much, it would really be out of the world.

It might be romantic, but it doesn't have that elegance.

Do not take it.

"Ha~~~hmm."

He yawned a lot, turned off the desk lamp, and fell asleep in the darkness.

……

Magic City.

"Hello Director Xu, I am Xue Qi from the project team for the opening and closing ceremonies of the World Expo. Welcome to guide us."

Looking at the man in his early thirties in front of him, Xu Xin stretched out his hand politely:

"Hi, I'll trouble you to make a trip all the way."

Xue Qi smiled and shook his head:

"Where is it, it is my honor to come to pick up Director Xu... Director Xu, give me your luggage. "

Following his words, the driver next to him graciously opened the trunk lid of the GL8.

After getting into the car, Xu Xin asked:
"Where are we going?"

"Send Director Xu back to the hotel for a rest, shall we? Director Zhang Wu is also at the hotel, and will welcome you and Director Zhang at noon."

"That's too polite, a light meal is fine."

Xu Xin said politely.

Then, the car stopped and went all the way in a city that was very unfamiliar to Xu Xin, and finally, he saw the elegant and majestic World Expo exhibition hall.

In all honesty, it's really good.

However, there are still signs of construction in some places around, and it seems that the planning has not yet been completed.

Finally, we came to one of the 155 hotels where members of the Expo stayed, the Skyway Pullman Hotel opened by the famous French high-end hotel group.

Along the way, Xue Qi was like a tour guide, introducing various projects of the World Expo, even including the preparatory work and so on.

Xu Xin also got a rough idea.

Then, after staying in front of the executive suite, the other party told him that Zhang Wu was next door, and after another exchange of greetings, he politely said goodbye.

And Zhang Jiao came into the room to help him sort out some things he used habitually.

Xu Xin didn't care, and directly knocked on the door next door.

Soon, the door opened, and Zhang Wu, who was holding the phone, waved to him, and then walked into the room on his own.

Seeing him on the phone, Xu Xin didn't say a word, and then heard Zhang Wu say:
"Well, I know. The World Expo must be different from the Olympic Games. The program links and process control must be more familiar with the local director team in Shanghai."

Xu Xin's eyes moved.

"okay, I get it……"

"Uh-huh…"

There was another burst of um, yes, Zhang Wu finally hung up the phone.

Xu Xin then asked:
"Director Zhang, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's all about the improvement suggestions submitted."

Zhang Wu threw a Yuxi over, and then continued:
"It probably means that we don't talk that much, and if there is something inappropriate, we should communicate in private.This afternoon's meeting is a meeting..."

What he said actually meant two things.

The first meaning is that this afternoon's meeting is not a picky one. If you really think something is wrong, don't say it at the meeting, but communicate in private.

Second meaning...

"Is it specifically for me?"

Hearing this, Zhang Wu was not surprised, but nodded in relief:
"I'm afraid that you will act rashly.After all, many people know how you entered the Olympics. "

"Ha~"

Xu Xin laughed a little speechlessly:

"You have no confidence in me?"

"It's for your own good."

Zhang Wu shook his head:
"What's more, other people's procedures and so on have already come out, and opinions and so on are also followed by the ideas you have set before. If you don't do anything, you have the credit."

"Understood."

He made a motion of pulling the zipper to his mouth
"I hope the tea this afternoon will taste better. "

"Tea is definitely not as good as the wine at night. I have an appointment with some old friends tonight, and you will be with me. Then maybe starting tomorrow, some people here will bring some people to see you one after another. All We know each other well, although we can’t talk about being able to do so, but everyone is stirring in the same pot anyway. After all, the business atmosphere here in Shanghai is still a bit thicker, so do as the Romans do.”

"Yeah." Xu Xin nodded to express his understanding.

In fact, it is nothing more than circles and connections.

Here we can actually see the different personalities of the two directors.

One is that "When you are not good, even if you know people, they don't care about you. When you are good, others will naturally come to curry favor with you."

And the other is "we all know each other, everyone will be "one of our own" in the future, and it is easy to talk when we meet. "

There is no right or wrong, and Xu Xin would not say that he is walking on one leg stupidly.

After agreeing, the two chatted in the room for a while.

It was almost 11 o'clock when he arrived at the hotel. After chatting for a while, Xue Qi appeared again at 11:[-], along with Chen Hua, the deputy director of the director team for the opening ceremony, Bao Wenhe, who was in charge of administrative work, and others.

As for Xu Xin himself, he certainly wouldn't have come to see these people in person.

Obviously all came for Zhang Wu.

Meet, greet, go downstairs for dinner.

The specific process is actually a very boring process.

One side is holding it, and the other side is smiling.

Although it sounds like a simple meal, it is actually a super-standard reception.

After a meal, the time is less than 1 o'clock.

After returning to the hotel to rest for a while, Xu Xin and Zhang Wu arrived at the management center on the side of the exhibition hall for a meeting when it was almost 3 o'clock.

The content of the meeting is not much to talk about.

The two belong to the "mascot".

With their presence, it is equivalent to the content of the meeting being passed
A practical and effective content came out of the discussion with the "Olympic Team".

Whether it's a link or something, it's justified.

Everyone is satisfied.

According to Xu Xin's own understanding, the opening ceremony this time is not about how much he contributed...or whether he can contribute his due ability.

Rather, after providing an adopted idea, someone will naturally follow this idea to make a plan for all the corresponding links including the performance.

Then wait until the horse arrives and succeed, hello, hello, hello everyone.

Nothing more than this is the truth.

After all, the scale of some things is a very complicated human decision. A strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake.

Others are not idiots.

Others don't like such things as pretentiousness.

Therefore, his positioning of himself is also a mascot.

Here I am, sitting here counts as success.

The same is true.

The discussion at the meeting basically had nothing to do with him. Except for Zhang Wu's few suggestions that were not painful or itchy, the whole session basically covered all aspects of human geography, culture, city appearance and so on in the preparation time of more than half a year.

There is really nothing to say about the way of thinking.

But if the idea is right, how to arrange the program is so simple that it can't be simpler.

Leave it to someone more professional.

In this way, after the afternoon meeting, Xu Xin and Zhang Wu will stay here for two more days.

One day is according to the publicity plan. Tomorrow everyone will go around the exhibition hall, the performance site, including the venue of the fireworks show, and cooperate with the photo publicity.

The next day is to go to places like song and dance troupes to watch the choreography of the actors.

It's all propaganda, but it has to be there.

And the highlight of his first day in Shanghai was the dinner at night.

how to say……

Eat, drink, meet, get to know each other.

that is all.

Those who came were all director Zhang's friends, and they were all from the literary and art circles of Shanghai.

It may sound like a low-profile name, but at some level, it is the object that some businessmen must curry favor with.

As for the dinner, although it was the friendship of the landlord, there were no drivers, secretaries and so on.

All old friends.

Among Zhang Wu's table of old friends, Xu Xin was the only one with a fresh face.

Zhang Wu was pushed to the upper seat when the seats were served from the beginning of the meal.

And Xu Xin was beside him.

The depth of the relationship speaks for itself.

And after a meal, Xu Xin's mobile phone stored many "secretary" phone numbers.

This is the dinner on the first night.

The second night's dinner was organized by the director team here.

It's just that those who came to entertain the two have changed from the literary and art circles to the entertainment circles.

Some famous directors, screenwriters, etc. are all related to this opening ceremony and contributed their own strengths.

There are many people.

Two tables of people sit in one hall, adding up to 30 people.

But this time Zhang Wu didn't drink much.

Xu Xin was given the task of blocking alcohol.

The brain fragments that gave him to drink directly did not even know how to get back to the hotel.

When he woke up on the third day, he repeatedly reviewed the process of last night with Zhang Jiao to make sure that he had not done anything rude, so he was relieved.

But it's not over yet.

The dinner on the third night was even more special.

Or a family dinner is more appropriate.

There are no outsiders.

Zhang Wu took him to Liu Kuan's house again.

Liu Kuan seemed to know that the two drank wine for two days in a row, so when the two old comrades met today, they drank only rice wine.

A meal

Rice wine, some bad stuff.

Nothing in particular was discussed.

It's just a reminiscence between old comrades in arms, and Xu Xin's company.

Finally, Xu Xin obtained Liu Kuan's personal contact information.

according to the other side
"Xiao Xu, this is my personal phone number. I'll come to my house if I have nothing to do. Let's have a drink."

then……

Later, during the holidays, he will have another elder who wants to visit.

After 10 o'clock in the evening, he returned to the hotel.

Reminiscing about these three days of drunkenness and dreaming... and looking at Liu Kuan's number on the phone...

This trip to the magic capital...

Not worth it.
