I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 391. 389. Cross-era heroine
"Where are you now?"

"Well, I just arrived in Yanjing, so I heard my baby talk about it."

"Oh~ what about tomorrow? Make an appointment with Lao Chen and the others for a couple of laps?"

"How about calling Lao Chen, boy who spreads money. It just so happens that I want to change a car, so I will take his money and give it to myself as a gift."

"Haha~ okay, then tomorrow."

"Okay, tomorrow wow."

After confirming that Zhang Ziyi had offended him, he changed the subject and started dating a mahjong game.

In the end, everyone hung up the phone with "hahaha" laughter.

But after hanging up the phone, the smile on Xu Daqiang's face gradually disappeared.

He didn't say anything, and neither did Xu Xin.

Only Liang Bingning was a little uneasy.

Until... Xu Daqiang lit another cigarette for himself.

"Hiss...Pfft. What's the matter, it's better if you don't contact me about things over there in the future."

This is the answer Xu Daqiang gave after careful consideration.

And Xu Xin also understood, nodded directly, and said:

"It's necessary to keep in touch... On the way back, Yang Mi and I were still talking about going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. She suddenly came over to get acquainted with each other at the Golden Horse Awards, so she should be careful. But... Even if you don't This phone call won't make any alliance she wants to make."

The second half of the words are for Liang Bingning:
"It's not that there are some things that are not to be done, but that they are not suitable for doing. Usually, we all disperse separately and make up too many things, so no matter how small a spark is, it can't start a prairie fire. But if we really get together, the movement will be big, Naturally, someone will pay attention..."

"..."

In Liang Bingning's silence, Xu Xin shook his head slightly:

"It is because of the industry that there are practitioners. And industry standards can only be determined from the industry. Practitioners...cannot be determined."

……

Liang Bingning left.

After all, it was a bit late, and it was time to rest.

Not much to say.

There is no need to say anything.

She just asked Yang Tianzhen who was driving after getting in the car:
"Tianzhen, where did Mimi put that set of books in Wanwan?"

Yang Tianzhen thought for a while and replied:

"It's in Chongqing."

"Well, remember to help me find it when I get there tomorrow."

"Ok."

On Xu Xin's side, after she left, Xu Daqiang asked:
"What is she going to do?"

"...I want to keep climbing."

Xu Xin sighed:

"Sigh... I can't think of any other possibility besides this idea."

"Climbing? How can it be so easy to climb?"

Xu Daqiang was speechless:
"Some people have to rely on one generation and two generations to climb up. How can there be such a thing as reaching the sky in one step?"

In fact, this is quite rare to hear from the mouth of the old man.

Usually, the old man will say at most:
"Oh, how about climbing. If you can succeed, you will succeed. If you don't succeed, you have to choose your own path."

But now hearing these words that sound like "hate iron but not steel"... Xu Xin doesn't have any other thoughts.

Just a little more EMO.

Some words are turned over and over in my stomach and I can't ask them.

In the end...he didn't ask anything.

The old man was also sleepy, so he chose to go back to sleep.

And when he returned to the master bedroom, he found that Yang Mi was looking at him treacherously...

"How are you doing?"

"Why do you have the nerve to ask?"

Xu Xin rolled his eyes:

"Didn't you run very fast just now? Why are you so curious now?"

"Oh, are you talking nonsense?... I really have no face to see her... Uh, it's not right. It's not that I have no face, it's that I don't know how to face it... Eh? It's not right. Anyway, that's what it means, you understand. Just ...feeling uncomfortable...”

Yang Mi said while pointing to the door.

It means to lock the door.

Talk behind closed doors.

Xu Xin explained the content of the phone call just now.

After Yang Mi listened, she frowned and asked:

"You said... Is there a possibility that her love has changed?"

"...Love change? With that foreigner?"

"Yes, both of them postponed their marriage. I remember reading the news before, and it was a pigeon egg diamond ring, and it was a meeting with parents. But now it is suddenly postponed. There must be something wrong with their relationship."

"so?"

"Plus what Aunt Zhao said about not doing things properly... Eh?"

As if she had thought of something, the fire of gossip in her eyes began to blaze:
"Would you say... Zhang Ziyi moved on with someone else... that's why she created a fear of marriage or something."

"Then?"

"...It's gone."

"That's it?"

Xu Xin was speechless:
"I thought you could figure out something else, such as who gave her the courage to do this..."

Yang Mi rolled her eyes:
"Why do I think that? I'm gossiping with you, not outwitting you."

"..."

Xu Xin was speechless.

Shaking his head, he walked to the bathroom.

Take a shower and go to sleep.

this day……

Not frustrating enough.

……

On Tuesday, at noon on the 15th, the couple ushered in an "unqualified guest".

"Hey~~ Isn't this our Asian king Jay Chou? What kind of wind brought you here?"

Standing in front of the gate, with two dogs squatting at his feet, Xu Xin with a sarcastic face looked at Jay Chou after he got off the car, with a "sneering smile" on his face.

"?"

Jay Chou gave him a strange look, and said:
"It's noon, what kind of wind are you having?"

Hearing this, Xu Xin stretched out his hand:

"Bring it."

"..."

Jay Chou was speechless, took a CD from Dani and handed it to him.

"Give."

"Hmm~~~~"

Xu Xin made a long note, looked at the white CD carefully, and nodded slightly:

"If you are smart, come in."

"Ha~"

Not seeing each other for ten days and half a month, Jay Chou couldn't help laughing out at his stinking behavior.

After stroking the two dogs wagging their tails at him, he followed Xu Xin into the house.

"Hey, Uncle Yang, Aunt Yang."

After saying hello to Yang Dalin and his wife who were busy cooking in the kitchen, Jay Chou walked into the living room.

Seeing Yang Mi in the living room by herself, he asked:
"Where's the baby?"

"Sleeping in the house."

"I gonna go see?"

"just go."

Yang Mi said something casually, and then directed Xu Xin:

"Quick, quick, listen."

Xu Xin nodded, walked to the TV, turned on the DVD player, pushed the CD in, and tuned to the TV channel.

The picture was dark, but there were bursts of bells that felt like electric mics from the stereo.

Then there was a rush of drums and guitars.

then……

"The clock chirps, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah..."

"Awww~"

"You can't speak Bilibili, Didi, Didi..."

"I have crossed the era Makabaka..."

After listening to the chorus and entering the piano accompaniment, Yang Mi and Xu Xin stared wide-eyed...

"What the hell is this?"

he asked.

Yang Mi stared straight at the TV screen and shook her head:
"I just heard something...you can't speak...that's all I understood. And then there was that thing that crossed the era...I didn't understand the rest of the lyrics."

Xu Xin nodded:
"Then change to another song?"

"Change it, this one doesn't sound good."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jay Chou came out with a speechless face:

"Hey, can you two think about it when you say bad things about others... don't let the person involved hear it. Also, isn't it my style to speak badly?"

"It's your style."

Xu Xin nodded:
"The problem is... Brother, I can't understand a single word!"

"..."

Under Jay Chou's speechless gaze, Xu Xin continued to play the second song.

【I said goodbye~ only to find out that I will never see you again~~~~】

"This song is okay... cut the song."

[The sound of prosperity escapes into the empty door...]

"Cut the song, I will save this song for the last time to listen to."

【If you want to become a ROCKER...】

"Why does it sound like "Cowboys Are Busy"?...It doesn't sound good, cut the song."

【Long time~ No see~ How are you~...】

"This song is okay...but it's not attractive, cut the song."

【All night under the rain~~~】

"This song is nice, the artistic conception is there, and it's comfortable to listen to...Let's listen to half of the song first, then cut the song."

[The landing gear leaves the ground...]

"Cut it."

"Hey! You haven't finished listening yet, you just cut the song at the first line!?"

"It's not the style I like. I'm still proud of the way you sing quietly... Girls don't like the feeling of singing and dancing. Brother, cut the song, it doesn't sound good."

"..."

【I don't cry~...】

"Hey, right, I still like you to sing this kind of lyrical song. It's nice, this one is nice! Cut the song and listen carefully later."

【Flying for Love ~ Escape ~ Gravity Passion...】

"This song is named after your fans who discovered that star, right?... Tsk tsk, my wheel is so caring. I'm such a fan~ Give CALL to my wheel!"

"Please, can you stop being weird..."

"Oh, you two are talking so much nonsense, cut!"

[Without the rain, the wipers still keep going left and right! 】

"This one sounds good! Wow, this one is superb, it feels really good!... Which song is this?"

"The tenth song."

"Is it gone?"

"No, there is another song "Superman Can't Fly"."

"Superman can't fly, so he's still called Superman? What a stupid name..."

"..."

"Quick, listen to it."

【Oh, if Superman could fly...】

"..."

"..."

In less than 15 minutes, after "listening" to all the songs in the album, the couple looked at each other...

"You go back and choose the third song, just the song of the wind in the sky, let's listen to it again."

"it is good."

Following Yang Mi's instructions, Xu Xin adjusted the CD to the third song.

"The sound of prosperity has escaped into the empty door and broke the evil spirit... the world."...

After listening to the song that Yang Mi chose to keep at the bottom of the box, the couple looked at each other.

After completing the exchange of opinions in this emptiness, Xu Xin held the remote control and looked at his friend and said:
"This contestant, the album you've been polishing for two years...is that all?"

"...???"

Jay Chou was speechless at first.

But after seeing the serious expressions of the couple, they immediately felt relieved.

Smiling and shaking his head:

"Seeing the reaction of the two of you, I can probably guess the reaction of the fans after the release."

Xu Xin frowned slightly:

"What do you mean? You're not satisfied either?"

"No, it's the album I'm most satisfied with."

"???"

"????"

"In this chapter of the album... well, let's explain something easy to understand for you two. For example, "Fireworks Are Cold", do you think it's the wind in the sky?"

"Yeah, isn't that obvious..."

"Then go back and listen to it again."

Hearing this, Xu Xin tuned it again.

Then after listening to a song, he continued to look at him eagerly with Yang Mi:
"What's wrong?"

"...Wow, you really are."

Jay Chou shook his head helplessly:

"Your musical talent is really 0. Two aspects..."

He raised two fingers:

"On the one hand, in this song, the most syllable is "XI", which is 7. But the traditional Chinese style music is Gongshangjiao Zhengyu, which is 12356. Therefore, it is not a style in the traditional sense, but As laymen of music, you two only need to listen to one ear to conclude that this is the song of the sky."

"Uh……"

"..."

To be honest, Xu Xin couldn't understand what he said was too professional.

Even as a director, when he is making a movie, he has to give the movie soundtrack some feeling.

But that feeling is pretty vague.

What he conveyed was actually quite limited.

For example, in a certain segment, he would say to the person who made the soundtrack, "I want this piece of music to be more magnificent", and then turn to another segment: "Here I want to be lighter"...

His soundtrack mainly relies on this kind of communication.

Then the musician made a demo and showed it to him.

If it feels right, continue to retouch, if not, discuss it and do it again.

But facing Jay Chou, he was no different from a primary school student.

So I don't know much about Gongshangjiao Zhengyu, or the power of "7".

Then Jay Chou raised his second finger:
"Second point, I didn't use any instruments related to our country throughout this song. It used pianos, guitars, organs, clarinets...all Western instruments. But, I created the wind of heaven. "

"Uh……"

As soon as the so-called expert makes a move, you will know if there is any.

After he said this, Xu Xin rewound the song and listened to it again.

Not to mention... After listening, he really didn't seem to find any musical instruments from the Celestial Dynasty.

"Amazing……"

Hearing Xu Xin's praise, Jay Chou uttered:
"嘁~"

How arrogant and arrogant that look is.

Leaning against the door frame, he continued:

"That's why I told you that this is the album I am most satisfied with. Because without the shackles of other companies, I can make the music I like... In this album, I played BLUES and Western Tianchaofeng , I played a lot of things that the company didn’t allow me to play before. I’m very happy… And, don’t worry. This album may not be very popular, but after three, five, or even ten years, you will listen to it You won't be out of date when you get up! Believe it or not!"

"Too advanced is easy to die quickly, brother."

Seeing that he also wants to engage in the "one version ahead" model, Xu Xin is a little speechless.

But Jay Chou waved his hand:

"Ann, there is still a difference between music and movies...at least in my case. So don't worry."

"……Fine."

After he said all these words, Xu Xin shrugged, and then asked:
"What number is this album?"

"The first one... Hey, big brother, don't make trouble. What are you doing~~~"

Seeing Xu Xin who suddenly became malicious, Jay Chou began to break out in a cold sweat.

Xu Xin smiled charmingly, pulled out the disc from the DVD player, and picked up the marker next to it:
"Come on, sign."

"Again? Is my signature against you? Isn't it enough to have a disc?"

"Hurry up, don't you want to eat delicious food at noon?"

Hearing this, Jay Chou, who has given all his DEMOs to his friends from the first "JAY" to now, no longer struggles.

The flamboyant signed his name and wrote a line:

""Cross Era", number: NO.1"

After signing, he did not forget to say:
"Take it away, let's say it's worth 10 yuan in the future~"

"10 yuan?... What's in it, motherfucker, why do you let our guests stand? Come on, make room. Serve tea!"

Except Jewell's people, the first person in the world to hear this album called "Trans-era" showed a very snobbish face.

Yang Mi also nodded in a doggy manner, and hurried to get ready.

After serving him a cup of tea in his hand, Jay Chou rubbed the dog's head under his feet and said:
"Hey, is there any character in "Pandaren" that you can recommend to me? I want a heroine who looks pure and innocent, and a supporting role who looks like a girl next door."

Hearing this, Yang Mi was taken aback:
"Didn't you say you wanted Jiang Yuchen to be the protagonist?"

"..."

The corner of Jay Chou's mouth twitched...

But in front of the two of them, he had nothing to hide, and said directly:

"Although the role of Jiang Xiaoyu was made based on her...but it's not like we broke up~"

"Come on, at the dance two days ago, didn't you rekindle your old relationship with her and left halfway?"

Yang Mi began to expose his background.

Jay Chou was speechless:
"What is the resurgence of an old relationship? We just met and chatted... After all, "Pandaren" is about to open. But..."

"People didn't agree?"

Xu Xin hit the nail on the head.

Jay Chou nodded:

"Well, I promised to be friends after we broke up~"

"Ah~"

"Eh~~~~~~"

Hearing this, the couple showed disgusted expressions at the same time.

"Bah, you're so vulgar..."

"Hey, Ah Xin, that's too much!"

Obviously, Xu Xin's complaints made him very hurt.

And Yang Mi asked:

"So? They didn't agree?"

"……Um."

After a moment of silence, Jay Chou nodded:
"She still hasn't let go... so I don't think about it. Is there any good candidates for the roles of Jiang Xiaoyu and Li Liya? If so, I will recommend them directly. If not, I will start the audition immediately."

"Yes, of course! Oh, my husband, how can I let Mr. Jay Chou drink last year's old tea~ Hurry up, serve good tea, and make this year's freshly picked Yuqian Longjing for our heavenly king Dong Zhou."

"okay."

In Xu Xin's response, the corners of Jay Chou's mouth twitched.

Looking down at the slightly cloudy tea soup in his cup...

"Hey, you two...won't you be so realistic! This soup is muddy! I just found out!"

"You know what a fart. You are Maojian, just soaked, and the soup is not cloudy? How can you really use ordinary tea to fool you?"

Xu Xin, who didn't move his butt, rolled his eyes.

But Yang Mi stood up:

"You wait."

Soon, she came out of the study and took out some artistic photos.

"Here, all the beauties of Shuangwei!"

"..."

"..."

You say crazy... She knows to keep all the good things for her own people.

But you say she is normal...

It's outrageous that the words can come out of her mouth.

Speechless, Jay Chou looked at Yang Ying's mugshot and shook his head directly:
"Isn't she whole? No, I want natural beauty."

After finishing speaking, she removed her photo and saw Zhao Liying.

"Oh? The picture of Baozi is okay... But she is not the Jiang Xiaoyu I imagined. I want to find someone who is the opposite of Jesse (Jiang Yuchen)...Let Baozi play Li Liya, okay?"

"Husband! What are you waiting for! Hurry up and get the old badge!"

Xu Xin rolled his eyes again.

Jay Chou also shook his head helplessly:

"I said audition!"

"Don't do this, Li Liya! It's dead! Let her do it!"

"...Tsk."

He also put the artistic photo of Baozi aside.

Then saw the third photo...

"Hmm... Zhang Jiao looks so cold in this photo, no good. I want a purer one, she doesn't have that kind of temperament."

"You can wear makeup."

"..."

Even Xu Xin couldn't bear to hear these words:
"Okay, you, Jiaojiao's face is cold, so it's definitely not suitable."

"Tsk..."

Yang Mi actually knew it too, so although she was a little regretful, she could accept it.

And Zhang Jiao's photo is also the last one.

Jay Chou scratched his head:
"No Liu Yifei?"

"Liu Yifei is now a Schrödinger's cat."

"Wow, honey, have you started reading books in the quantum realm?"

"Haha, look~"

Yang Mi was a little proud, but the joke was a joke, she still pointed at Xu Xin:
"It's mainly because he is still thinking about who to cast in "The Hawthorn Tree", so I have to keep Liu Yifei's schedule. What's more, she doesn't want to take on TV dramas right now... How about I recommend Shishi to you?"

Suddenly, Yang Mi changed the topic:
"If you're looking for someone like Liu Yifei... Can Shishi do it?"

"Just... the girl in the blue dress in that TV show?"

"Yes. How is she?"

"Uh……"

Jay Chou thought for a while and said:
"Do you have a photo? I want a modern photo."

"Wait."

Yang Mi picked up the phone directly.

And Xu Xin asked:

"The preparations for "Pandaren" are over?"

"It's about the same, the actors are missing. I just came here a few days ago to prepare for the audition. After the peak night, I will choose a group. It's almost the same."

While talking, Yang Mi has already called Liu Zhishi:

"Hey, where are you?...So...do you have an electronic version of your art photo?...You send it to me, now...Oh, don't ask, just send it to me...Okay, hurry up... Well, I hung up."

After hanging up the phone, she stood up again:
"I'm going to print."

"it is good."

Jay Chou didn't refuse either, but after Yang Mi left, he suddenly said to Xu Xin:
"Hey, how did Mimi know that I was going to invite Lin Zhiling for my birthday..."

"..."

The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched...

For a moment, he shook his head slightly:

"It seems that there is a traitor among us!"

"...Then can you still go?"

"I'm celebrating your birthday, why can't you go?"

What Xu Xin said was high-sounding.

Now Jay Chou has a bottom line in his heart:
"Okay, it's business as usual!"

"Hmm! Mask theme?"

"That's right, the mask theme! The style of the mask was chosen by Lao Wang himself..."

"He's working, I don't worry."

"Hey, I'm relieved too..."

The two of them started laughing mischievously.

Until Yang Mi walked in with a piece of colored printing paper:

"Give."

After the photo was finished, Jay Chou looked down...

Nod slightly:

"Not bad, is there any problem with your acting skills?"

"Don't worry, it's absolutely reliable."

Yang Mi directly guaranteed the ticket:

"It's a big deal, I'll help her make up for it, and you can send me the script when you come back. I'm sure it will be done!"

"emmm..."

After thinking about it, he nodded:

"Sure."

In this way, the little gear of fate twisted quietly again.

Liu Zhishi, who was far away in Shanghai, suddenly sneezed:
"Ah!"
