I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 365 363. The Reef
"call……"

"call……"

"call……"

Looking at Liang Bingning blowing there, Xu Xin knew that she must be thirsty.

"Do you want a drink? There is juice, freshly squeezed."

What he meant was to let the other party quench their thirst first.

But Liang Bingning shook her head slightly:
"Just drink this. I also have water in my car, but this car is driven from the company. The water is a bit tooth-extracting. I can't drink it too cold these days. The boiled water I picked up from the airport has a strange smell, and I'm not used to it. .This is just right~”

While talking, she leaned on the soft cushion of the sofa a little tiredly.

The whole person is like shrinking bones, completely collapsed.

Xu Xin had seen a wonderful sight.

A woman with such a large frame can be so tired that she "shrinks" down.

Looks like it's really going to the limit.

So he asked:
"You won't get up early tomorrow morning and return to Chongqing?"

"No... I should be able to rest at home for a day tomorrow. Let's go back the day after tomorrow."

With that said, she finally took a sip of the rose tea in the cup.

The kind that sucks with a small mouthful.

Then there was a sigh:
"Huh...it's much more comfortable."

Seeing this, Xu Xin directly took a small teacup for drinking tea and a justice cup, asking her to pour water into the small cup to drink, so that it would cool down faster.

Liang Bingning nodded, her eyes fell on the mountain of red envelopes:
"Don't you have any money yet?"

"No, toasting at the table at noon, I just drank too much. I didn't wake up until dinner at night. I will take my time later."

"Well...see if the child is asleep?"

"it is good."

Xu Xin got up and walked to the door of the bedroom, and quietly opened the door.

With the help of the blurred outline of the night light, he saw Yang Mi hooking her hand.

After thinking about it, he greeted Liang Bingning behind him.

The two tiptoed open the door.

And in order to prevent her from triggering Zaizai and Niuniu's protector attributes, he was the first to enter the door and deliberately grabbed the collars of the two dogs and kicked them out.

Zai Zai and Niu Niu are not happy about it.

Glancing at the bad woman who caused him to be kicked out...

Very dissatisfied.

"Go, get out."

Xu Xin couldn't laugh or cry, pushed away the two dogs, and walked into the bedroom with Liang Bingning.

Yang Mi turned up the lights slightly so that Liang Bingning could see the faces of the two children, and then heard a whisper:
"Yeah, so cute..."

In an instant, classmate Xiao Yang smiled.

Then, Liang Bingning delivered her gift.

"Here, one is as strong as a bull, and the other is so bullish. Put the two little guys under the quilt, so they can hold you down."

She handed over her red envelope.

At first Xu Xin thought it was a red envelope containing money.

But as soon as the two red envelopes were bought, they immediately noticed the difference.

Hard, heavy.

iron plate?

He was stunned.

I touched it again... No, it's not an iron plate, it should be a gold plate.

feel the weight...

It weighs about two catties.

Two 500g gold plates?
He was a little surprised, but he didn't show it, he just nodded:
"Thank you, Miss Bingbing."

"Ah."

Liang Bingning responded, lying down in front of the cradle, looking at the two little guys...

"It's great, you have both sons and daughters..."

For some reason, her eyes were full of envy and embarrassment.

"Hee hee~"

Yang Mi couldn't help laughing again.

After watching for about five or six minutes, the three of them withdrew together.

The two dogs were lying on guard at the door, as if none of the three of you wanted to go in again.

After Yang Mi came out, she saw Liang Bingning's state, and asked speechlessly:
"Sister Bingbing, you...how did you become like this?"

"tired."

Liang Bingning smiled, sat down in her seat again and started pouring tea.

And just then, her phone rang.

She immediately turned the volume to mute, then glanced at the caller, thought for a while, and connected the call:

"Hello, Teacher Wang."

"...Well, here we are. We are talking."

"The day after tomorrow, go back the day after tomorrow."

"Ok."

"Uh-huh."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Mi asked curiously:

"Wang Xiaoshuai?"

"Uh... not."

Liang Bingning shook her head, but didn't say who it was.

Instead, ask:
"How do you guys go to the Golden Horse Awards?"

"The Wind" was shortlisted for the Golden Horse Awards for Best Actress, Screenplay, Cinematography, Visual Effects, Art Design, Modeling Design, and Best Film.

Awards begin on December 12th.

Hearing this, Yang Mi looked at Xu Xin again.

"It's scheduled to go on the 11th, shall we go together?"

"I'll try my best. If I can't be together, I might arrive on the 12th."

"That's fine, we'll communicate with each other when the time comes."

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Liang Bingning drank the rose tea in the cup again.

Seeing this, Yang Mi wanted to refill her glass.

But Liang Bingning waved her hand:

"It won't fall...I'm drinking it, I'm really going to sleep here."

"Then go to sleep, there is still room at home. You are so tired, let's go after a night's rest."

Facing Yang Mi's invitation, she still shook her head:
"Then you have to go home."

As he spoke, he simply drank the remaining water in the teacup in one gulp.

"Mimi, here is the prescription for you."

Taking out the prescription from her bag, she stood up:
"This prescription is Tongrentang's prescription, which is specially formulated for nourishing qi and blood. I asked, and you can drink it now. If you feel that you can't make it well, you can take it there. It is easy to lose qi and blood after giving birth. Pay more attention... well, fortunately, the little guy has a good day, so I'm leaving."

Seeing her tired look, the couple didn't want to stay.

Nothing beats coming home early and getting a good night's sleep.

So, after sending her to the door and watching her get in the car and leave, the two returned home.

After locking the door, Yang Mi took a look at the medicinal materials in the warehouse.

Said to Xu Xin:
"Then take it easy, I'll sleep with the baby."

"okay."

Xu Xin responded, and sat at the table holding the gift list, just about to write it, when Yang Mi came out of the room again.

"It's pretty nice."

Hearing this, Xu Xin looked at the two gold plates she took out from the red envelope, and reached out to take them.

On the front of the gold plate is a very cartoon baby cow pattern, which says "Bullish".

The other is the knot of muscles... I don't know which famous artist painted the image of a strong cow, and it says "sturdy as a cow".

The two children belong to the cow.

It's a very good meaning.

And looking at the back.

The 500G figure is quite conspicuous.

"How much is a gram of gold? Two hundred and three? Two hundred and four?"

Yang Mi asked.

Xu Xin waved his hand:
"Why do you ask this? It's her wish. In the future, when she is doing business, we can just use the decorations made from two catties of gold."

"Well...then give this to me, and I'll put it in the safe."

"I'll let it go, you go to bed quickly."

Waving his hand, he wrote his name on his friend's gift list:

"Liang Bingning: Two catties of gold."

……

When the plane landed at noon on the 27th, Xu Xin and Yang Mi breathed a sigh of relief.

It's okay, the daughter and son seem to have inherited their mother's physique, and they didn't show any discomfort from the time the plane took off to landing.

Except for the plane crying during the climb, the rest of the time was quite calm.

Even Xu Daqiang was relieved a lot.

After leaving Xi'an Airport, everyone split up.

Zhang Hai came to pick up the plane, Yang Mi took the children and left with Xu Daqiang and Sanshui.

And Xu Xin walked to the West Film Studio with Jay Chou and Wang Sicong.

The sides are separated.

We can't even eat lunch together.

Everyone in the factory is waiting for him.

As for Lang Lang...

Now this juncture is his busiest time of the year.

Whether in Europe or America, he has countless dinners and events to attend.

I came back yesterday just for the full moon wine for my daughter and son.

"When is your new album going to be released?"

In the car, after hearing Xu Xin's words, Jay Chou shrugged:

"It will be released next year, and a few songs have already been finished. After the next year, I will start recording MVs and filming... Acting will be very busy~ And there is a Hollywood movie offer, I plan to agree."

"……Hollywood?"

Xu Xin was taken aback.

Jay Chou nodded proudly:
"That's right~Hollywood. But I don't know what movie it is... They did a good job of keeping it secret, they just told me it was a superhero movie."

"..."

In Xu Xin's speechless, Wang Sicong said:
"Old Xu is sour."

"I'm so sour."

Xu Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't say much.

In fact, in his eyes, the talent of the wheel really all points to the music.

His acting skills are really quite average...

But that's from a director's point of view.

as a friend...

Now all the stars are playing cross-border, those who play music make movies, and those who act in movies release albums...

Among other things, Huang Xiaoming has released several albums, and he has never heard any of them.

Everyone plays like this, why can't my friend?

Toss chant.

What's more, according to what he meant, he didn't even know what the script was, let alone Xu Xin helped him review the script.

"Hey, during the few days of the Golden Horse Awards, shall I hold another party? I see that you and Director Li are very happy to work together... The film industry here in Wanwan is starting to slow down, so you can see if you can get it right then. ?”

"Row."

Xu Xin nodded:
"But one thing..."

Before he could say anything, Jay Chou responded:
"Don't worry, I'm here, I can't let him come if I'm not someone who knows everything."

Obviously, the tacit understanding between the two made each other know what they wanted to express.

At this time, Wang Sicong said:
"Call out more actresses."

"..."

"..."

Under the speechless eyes of the two, Wang Sicong shrugged:

"Why? No way?"

Xu Xin couldn't help saying:
"He also calls many girls on his birthday..."

"You ate yesterday, do you still eat today?"

Gan!
This reason is really awesome.

The irrefutable cow.

And just when Xu Xin was unable to complain, Jay Chou took on the posture of a big brother:

"Please, how can you be a child's godfather like this? Do you look like an adult?"

"what's wrong?"

Wang Sicong raised his legs triumphantly:

"Since I was a child, I have taught my daughter to stay away from scumbags, and taught my elder son to stay away from scumbags. King Kong is not a bad boy, you have to start from a baby, you know? Train us two big babies to be like a leaf among thousands of flowers. High-end players, this way you won't be tricked by those coquettish sluts..."

"..."

"..."

Xu Xinxin said: What he said makes sense.

……

"Director Xu, hahaha, come, come, come, this is our kindness, congratulations to Tianding... Hahaha..."

At the noon dinner, Xu Xin faced a group of people from Xiying Studio who wanted to write their joy on their faces.

Then received a bunch of red envelopes.

Even Dai Tian Shuanghe prepared a copy.

Xu Xin's bag was full again.

But this time Xu Xin didn't drink, and neither did the big guys.

Tian Shuanghe spoke at the dinner table, and asked Xu Xin to chat with him in the office after dinner.

Therefore, this banquet is eaten according to the standard of working meals.

After a normal meal, Xu Xin followed him all the way back to the office, while Jay Chou had already gone to the rehearsal with the "The Voice" team and contestants.

As soon as he entered the office, he noticed something different.

In the cabinet behind Tian Shuanghe, there are three more golden rooster trophies.It's not that there are only three trophies, including several awards from "The Beginning of Spring".

But who made the three golden roosters connect in a line?

It looked particularly eye-catching.

No need to look, Xu Xin knew that it must be the trophy of the three actresses.

He couldn't help laughing out loud:

"Haha."

Tian Shuanghe turned his head following his gaze, and was also amused:

"Is it nice?"

"Ah."

Xu Xin responded:
"Good-looking is good-looking, but there are too few."

"What's the rush? You're still young."

Sitting at the tea table, he gestured for Xu Xin to take a seat, and then asked:

"When will the casting of "The Hawthorn Tree" start?"

"number 30."

"Ah."

Tian Shuanghe nodded:

"Is there any demand for the director team this time?"

"Yes, in terms of Fuhua Dao, you have to match me with an old gentleman from that era. I have to restore all the details of that era."

"Ah."

Hearing his request, Tian Shuanghe responded:
"Don't worry, the old seniors in the factory also like to see how energetic we are now. This time, in terms of serving Huadao, I don't know if Xiao Qi told you in the meeting two days ago. Artist Mr. Liu Yichuan, costume Zhang Li, and props Ning Daming in "The Black Cannon Incident". The shape of "Yellow Earth" - Zhong Ling, costume - Tian Geng, the art director of "Scented Soul Girl" Ma Huiwu... oh yes , Ma Huiwu and Ma are always Muslims, you have to pay attention... There are a total of ten art consultants who serve Huadao, including Lao Guo and the others, and young people working under them, the total list is about 50."

"... Tut tut."

Hearing the names of these videos, Xu Xin scratched his head with emotion:

"Our factory's family background is really thick."

Tian Shuanghe smiled:

"This is only a part. The young artist creation base will be established next year. At that time, you will see all the seniors and backbones of our factory who are still making contributions to the film industry... We may be working on special effects, what CG technology Such aspects are shortcomings. But in terms of how to make full use of the humanistic and artistic value of a film, these talents are real treasures... In fact, I have to thank you for this."

"I?"

Xu Xin was taken aback.

Tian Shuanghe nodded:

"Well, when our factory was in the worst decline, we were a little bit dissatisfied with the establishment of our factory at that time. I wouldn't let people who dabble in if they wanted to come in, and talented people looked down on us...but after you came, this A piece of "The Wind" can be regarded as a reputation. Didn't the job fair just open this month, and the number of outstanding talents applying for various positions has already exceeded 150... don't worry about inheritance."

Speaking of this, he picked up the teapot full of emotion and poured a cup of tea for Xu Xin.

"Besides, the variety show "The Voice" was made so well by Mimi... Everyone has also made money. Don't mention anything else... You don't need to talk about it. Many people have been in the factory for seven or eight years. When have you ever seen the door of the Investment Promotion Department being blocked? Haha~"

It could be seen that Tian Shuanghe was really happy.

As an old man who has worked in Xiying Film Studio all his life, although the scene in front of him is far from what he expected, at least... a thriving bud has emerged.

Can you be unhappy?

And taking advantage of this joy, Xu Xin tentatively said:

"Leader, our film and television channel..."

He just said the beginning, Tian Shuanghe understood what he meant, and asked:
"About going to the stars?"

"Ah."

"This is..."

After handing over a good cat, Tian Shuanghe asked:
"Want to go to the stars, is it your idea, or Mimi's?"

"If you want to talk about ideas, then we must have discussed it. But... "The Voice" is so popular, she must mean that she wants to gain more popularity..."

"Well, that's normal."

Tian Shuanghe responded, and after Xu Xin lit the cigarette for himself, he asked:
"I can somewhat understand Mimi's thoughts, and I'm no outsider here, so I'll just share my opinion."

"You say."

Xu Xin sat up straight.

"Xiao Xu, the situation has not yet been decided. It is too early to talk about separation."

Tian Shuanghe shook his head slightly:
"Even if Xiying has become a star, holding "The Voice" in his hand, including a series of programs that may be launched in the future, or some TV dramas... Even if it can become a big hit, the regional nature of the TV drama group Very strong. And even if we and Shantai broke the bones, we are still connected, right?"

Xu Xin was taken aback...

"what do you mean……"

"Don't you think that the "Sword and Sword III" on our station... is a good example?"

"..."

Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

"You mean... our station can be a behind-the-scenes promoter in some respects?"

"When a drama is filmed, it will be released on our own station first. The response is good, and the stars will be on the Shaanxi stage. First, we have the opportunity to try and make mistakes. Second, more young actors can be trained. Third...and what I value most The most important thing is to maintain our style. To outsiders, they may think that we are talking empty words and stereotypes. But, Xiao Xu, do you still remember what I said when we first met?"

Looking at Xu Xin, Tian Shuanghe's eyes were filled with... an incomparably clear light.

"Movies in our country go out from here. People say that the Northeast is the eldest son, but as far as movies are concerned, we are the eldest son. This circle is becoming more and more commercialized, and no one will have trouble with money. But if At that time, everyone will shoot things for money... At that time, it is estimated that they will not be far from decline.

The honor of the old factory manager is all over the wall, and it's my turn. Before the wall behind me is covered with trophies, the money...is enough, more than enough to spend, but people scolded me for forgetting my origin and poking me. It's much more important to say that I've misled Xiying Studio with the spine on my back..."

The moment Xu Xin heard this, he frowned.

Not to say dissatisfaction.

but feel...

"Your idea...is a bit against the laws of the market."

"Of course. When everyone is reaching out for money, pretending to be noble will be looked down upon."

Tian Shuanghe smiled:

"However, if you lose the roots of Northwest culture... just like you. Your family conditions are here. If you feel bored and boring when making movies, will you continue to do it? "

"..."

Xu Xin was lost in thought.

"They all grew up drinking the water of the Yellow River. It is right for brothers to work together. Don't we all pay attention to the integration of resources now?

After all, it's a circle.Some people in the circle are good at making movies, some are good at acting in TV dramas, some want to record something for this hot land, and some want to do something for this whole yellow land.

The Chinese movies came from us. This is the root, and the root cannot be broken.

What's more...you have to understand that after all, Shantai, like ours, is a window of the entire cultural circle and an important promotion medium for culture.No matter how well we do, no matter how high the ratings are, how famous we are... When people mention our station first, they will always think of our factory.

But Shaanxi and Taiwan are different. Seeing it, people think of our province and our roots.

So, go back and tell Mimi that the next focus is to seek the promotion of Shaanxi culture. We need appearance, unity, and more importantly, the return of a circle and culture.

Some things, to her, to you, are more important than money.If you want to become an old artist with both virtue and art, the right time, place and people are indispensable.She is also the boss of the company, so she has a long-term vision. "

What he said caused Xu Xin to think for a long time.

I peeled off the cocoon, and thought about it bit by bit.

In fact, the core point of Tian Shuanghe's remarks is very simple.

That is "based on culture".

If you don't study in the Beijing circle, your status is paramount.

If you don't learn from the Shanghai circle, capital is king.

Even with the entire entertainment industry are somewhat separated.

The northwest circle still wants to take the road of cultural foothold.

Because this is the West Film Studio, or the root of Northwest film culture.

At first glance...that sounded a bit out of place.

Or high-minded.

You are noble, your great kind of nobility.

But... Xu Xin didn't know what other people thought.But from him, there is no trace of bad feeling.

Because from Tian Shuanghe's words, he saw that as the head of the Xiying Studio, as the old man of the West Film Studio, he accompanied the factory through the glory, the loneliness, and now recast the glory... The blood in his heart has never been cold.

"Movies from the Celestial Dynasty, come out from here."

This is the slogan of the factory.

It is not empty talk, not a cliché, but a real thing that these older filmmakers insist on doing.

it……

Especially to Xu Xin's appetite.

The kind that doesn't fit well.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.

"Haha~"

"...What are you laughing at?"

Tian Shuanghe was a little puzzled for a moment.

But Xu Xin shook his head:
"I told my dad before, I said dad, I like Yu Qiang very much. My dad also asked me who Yu Qiang was, and if he was the one who talked about cross talk..."

"...?"

Tian Shuanghe was stunned.

Only then can we tell who "Yu Qiang" is from this sentence.

After reacting, he smiled and said:
"Why? Afraid that our factory will end up in the same end as Yu Qiang?"

"That's not true. But I think... it's really good to be Yu Qiang. If the ending can be less miserable..."

"so?"

"So you have to walk on two legs. You can't look at the future and ignore the present, and you can't just focus on the present and ignore the future... If you want me to say, it doesn't matter whether it is a movie or a TV series, it doesn't matter whether it is an art film or a commercial film. If the story is good, it will do. Shoot what you want to shoot, express what you want to express... Do what you want to do, it’s good. Walk on two legs~ This is a sentence my dad often says~”

"Well……"

Tian Shuanghe thought for a while, then nodded:

"That makes sense at all."

"So, I don't know what other people think, but I think the most suitable thing for me is to be a reef. It doesn't matter if I can't see me at high tide, or I stand out from the crowd at low tide. I am there, and I will always be there."

"Um……"

Looking at the young man in front of him, Tian Shuanghe nodded with a smile:
"It's right to have this mentality."

Although the two of them didn't know why the topic suddenly changed from the TV station to here.

But at least, both sides figured out what the other was thinking.

Tian Shuanghe is not a leader who is only after money, and Xu Xin is not a director who can't get out of money.

And the two returned to "The Voice" itself on this topic.

After all, tomorrow is the finals, and it is still a live broadcast. The factory also attaches great importance to having a perfect ending to the live broadcast.

The program that lasted for four months has created too many ratings and commercial legends.

This is a finishing touch, and it has to be made clear.

While chatting, suddenly, Tian Shuanghe's phone rang.

Glancing at the caller, he froze for a moment and connected the call:

"Hello? Wen Li."

As soon as Xu Xin spoke this name, he understood who the caller was.

Then I heard Tian Shuanghe say:
"Yes, Xiao Xu and I are here...Okay, come here."

After hanging up the phone, Tian Shuanghe said:

"A few days ago, Wen Li's movie was finished."

"Movie?"

"Yes, "See You in Heaven", she directed it herself. It is being produced in the factory, and it is expected to be released early next year. I probably took a look at the edited film... It's okay, and she will bring someone over later, called Ma Sichun , a little girl, her niece."

Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

"I met her at the award ceremony before, and I talked about her niece. It is said that she is still a child star?"

Hearing his tentative intention, Tian Shuanghe shook his head, his tone was extremely firm:

"You don't have to think about it. For your movie, you just need to go according to your own ideas. No one will interfere with you. Even if there is, tell the factory that we are responsible for shutting him up."

"Eh."

Xu Xin nodded in agreement.

All of a sudden my heart felt at ease.
