I'm the director, I'm not bad

"I think... why don't you join? We're making movies, how can we become civil servants all at once? Nine to five every day... I can't stand it."

In the room of the guest house of Xiying Studio, Xu Kaibin was the first to object.

"Besides, Lao Song, you also know that my son will go to primary school next year. The school district room I bought with my teeth was so that my child can receive education in Yanjing. It will be easier to enter Tsinghua University and Peking University in the future... You let me Going back to my hometown to compete with those [-]-[-] score lines, I have a headache just thinking about it..."

Hearing this, Song Wen didn't know how to answer for a while.

In fact, among the four people, Song Wen felt that Lao Xu owed him the most.

Although a few people never mentioned it, but a large part of the reason for his divorce, everyone thought it was the film show.

His wife left him also because of the film exhibition, on the one hand, he did not make money, and on the other hand, he could not see the development.The couple quarreled and conflicted and eventually turned into divorce.

Lao Xu loves movies, as can be seen from the 850 million funds that everyone shared this time.

He is not a man who values ​​money very much.

But as the third place in the county's college entrance examination that year, he cared more about the education of his children.

Although this contradiction has never been mentioned, everyone in the team knows that he prefers to stay in Yanjing.

If the film festival moves to a different place, then the team will definitely set up an office in Yanjing to contact some directors, actors and the like in Beijing.This is what he will be responsible for at that time.

But if he joins Xiying Film Studio, then he also understands that it is not his turn to do these jobs. At this time, the retreat is not because of other reasons, but purely for the children.

Being a single parent is hard enough.

If there is another separation between the two places, then he will never agree.

So, after hearing his appeal, Li Ziwei immediately asked:

"What if...Xiying Studio can also let you work in Yanjing?"

"Then I can think about it. As long as I am not separated from my child, I can do anything. My son must not follow my old path. It is too hard. Our province's admission threshold is too high...Compared with his future, all I can give up everything!"

After Xu Kaibin finished speaking, he expressed his attitude, and then fell silent.

Li Ziwei subconsciously looked at Li Ningning.

"I don't really care. Wherever I work, it's work...Xi'an is also very good, and if the working environment of Xiying Studio can really be as stable as Director Xu promised, my dad won't say anything: "Girls are here Running around outside, it’s strange that people can marry you” or something like that. It would be nice to find a boyfriend from Northwest~ Is it better than the current one?”

Let's talk...it's quite realistic.

But there is nothing wrong with it.

In Li Ziwei's eyes, Ning Ning had been talking to her for two or three years.

Never mention anything about marriage.

I always feel that the two are more like a mutual comfort relationship than a couple.

purely to meet physiological needs.

"So...you agree?"

"Ah."

Li Ningning nodded:

"I believe in Director Xu's character. As you know, I am in charge of volunteer management. Didn't I tell you that too? We have seen many filmmakers, big and small, and Director Xu was the first to stand up and pay attention. The person who gave us the details of the film exhibition and gave encouragement. After his interview that day, many people cried... Speaking of such a difficult film exhibition, I thought these movie stars would feel poor... But I heard his words In the end it felt like it was all worth it. Because...we're doing what we're passionate about..."

With a smile on her face:
"So I think that if I can look at the director at the bottom, his character will definitely not be bad. In addition, my dad always hopes that I can stabilize... After all, I am not married and have no formal relationship at my age in our hometown. Work, many people think that I am not doing my job properly. My dad thinks his face is disgraceful..."

After she finished speaking, she shrugged her shoulders, representing herself to vote in favour, and remained silent.

Song Wen subconsciously looked at Li Ziwei.

But he found that Li Ziwei was also looking at him.

"..."

"..."

They looked at each other and were speechless.

After more than a minute of silence, Li Ziwei said:
"Let me speak first."

She scratched her head:
"Actually...it doesn't matter to me. If...you can discuss with Director Xu...or the factory about keeping Binzi in Yanjing, then I can do anything else.

I am somewhat similar to Ning Ning's point of view.If she didn't mention her family, I might be even more indifferent.But she brought up the family... I thought, my parents are not young anymore.I'm 30 this year, and it's really hard to find a boyfriend.

If I can stabilize and implement my personal life, I think my parents will feel at ease.This is a personal aspect.

As for career... I pay more attention to what Director Xu said.He said... the film festival is matched with Shaanxi's cultural tourism.Didn't I tell you before?Xi'an, the city that never sleeps in the Tang Dynasty, is their tourist card.It must not be something anticlimactic~
Moreover, I don't know if you have heard it, but he proposed a... a term that is quite unfamiliar to us, called the Northwest Circle.

I don't know how much you know about these things, but I know about the relationship between actors and directors all the year round.They are very particular about this, for example, if someone has a grudge against someone, I will not go if he appears.For example, the location of the red carpet... These are the actors who pay more attention to.

The director pays more attention to such circles and factions.

I think Director Xu is so young that he can reach this position.His future potential must not be simple.And since he has chosen to be deeply bound with Xiying Studio...it means that he must have seen the potential of Xiying Studio...Isn't it?
Strictly speaking, we don't know much about these things, but since Director Xu, Yang Mi, and Liang Bingning have all chosen Xiying Studio, it should be good for us to follow suit.The above is my personal opinion. "

After making a summary, Li Ziwei continued:
"Next is the film festival... I thought about it. If we follow our backup plan, we will also cooperate with other cities. Haven't we mentioned the objective conditions? It's too far away, too far away. Stars and directors may not Will come, so be sure to have a city with an airport.

There is no city that can give back, just like the XN city that sent us an invitation.It's still west of Xi'an, it's too far away.It is not too much to say that it is a desert in the entertainment industry. Compared with Xi'an, it must be worse.

Finally, there is the issue of influence... I really didn't pay much attention to the influence of Xiying Film Studio before.It is known that people like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige came from here.But after visiting the honor room and museum today, I found that their influence almost radiates the entire film and television circle.

So, my opinion is also in favor.The premise is to communicate with Binzi and see how to deal with it.The four of us have suffered together. I hope that I will not only be a lifelong partner with you, but also a lifelong friend who can work together and never be separated! "

After she finished speaking, she finally looked at Song Wen.

It's 2-1 now.

It was up to him to decide the last vote.

As the founder, but also the final decision maker of the small team.

He actually thinks a lot.

On the one hand, everyone did not mention the money, and he felt very touched.

I feel that I am capable and capable, and I have found three like-minded partners.

On the other hand...he felt a little shameless.

Because from the content of the chat this afternoon, he could feel that...the West Film Studio does not absolutely need them.

Even he himself understood.

Not to mention anything else, what kind of resources does Director Xu have?

If you really want to talk about a film festival, a group of people will go crazy to find him to cooperate.

But he received the four of himself, and chose to treat each other with sincerity.

It's really a face to face.

But now if I want to settle in Xi'an, I have to bargain with others because of the team's personal reasons...

How can we be qualified to bargain with others?
It's not that people beg us.

And he actually felt in his heart...the conditions offered by Xiying Studio were very generous.

If he can come out of Yanjing, he will not be afraid to go far away.

But now for a state-owned enterprise that doesn't absolutely need them, let's negotiate terms...

No matter how you look at it, it is a ridiculous thing.

But for the sake of his teammate, he hesitated again and again...

"I agree, but it's the same as Ziwei's point of view. If Binzi's matter can be resolved, we can sell him our lives. But if it can't be resolved..."

He looked at Xu Kaibin:
"Since everyone came out together, we must be together if we want to do it. I will call Director Xu to discuss it. If there is an agreement there, I hope you can take back the words that you can't stand nine to five!"

"No problem, I understand when you go to the country and do as the Romans do. As long as you don't separate me from the children...or if you really want to stay here, you don't need to count me together. I can't delay the three of you. At worst, I will give it to others Just be a trainer. I have experience in bringing out so many volunteers with Ningning."

The harmony between the words of the four people turned out to be a complete mess.

Song Wen didn't say a word, but just dialed Xu Xin's number directly.

The "beep" sound after turning on the hands-free was like a signal of "final judgment", which made everyone wait without daring to take a breath.

Until Xu Xin connects:
"Hello, President Song, hello."

……

In Liang Bingning's office, Xu Xin connected the phone.

"Hello, Director Xu, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Well, you said."

"Xu Kaibin from our team..."

After recounting the ins and outs of the matter, he put forward his appeal:

"Look, is there a solution for his situation? Since the four of us came out together, we definitely want to stay together. But he really wants his children to stay in Yanjing to receive a better education. Besides, it's a divorced family ..."

"Well, I understand."

After understanding what he meant, Xu Xin thought for a while and said:
"The factory does have an office in Yanjing. The people in the office basically perform a variety of functions. And after the film festival enters the preparatory stage, Yanjing really needs to retain people for docking work. So theoretically speaking , job transfer is no problem.

But there is a premise, that is, after the work is on the right track.Now the start-up stage is the busiest time, and there are only three of you left. This condition is basically impossible to achieve, and it is also unreasonable.

Mr. Song, we sincerely extend the invitation, but the invitation does not mean that we are compromising. You must distinguish this clearly.Think about it, if you were the boss, and a candidate told you that he could not fully perform the job he was applying for.So would you agree? "

Seeing that he was a bit confused about the big and small kings, Xu Xin tapped him.

Not everyone can negotiate conditions with Xiying Studio.

Although this matter is not big, he must let Song Wen understand that no leader likes small groups.

Let you come, let you work.

If you continue to hold together, you will start in the wrong direction from the beginning.

"Uh... this... I'm sorry, Director Xu, I was a little careless."

"No need to apologize, what I mean is actually very simple. I know what you four mean. You have been here for so many years. But I hope you can also understand one thing. Work is work and life is life. At work, The factory will give everyone convenience as much as possible, but this is not an excuse to become a condition.

In other words, Mr. Song, my promise to you is that the film festival will be edited after the film festival is successfully opened.But when you put forward these conditions, you thought about how you would deal with yourself when I threw you out after draining your use value with some bad intentions? "

Xu Xin suddenly shook out a possibility that sent chills down Song Wen's spine.

Before he had time to think about it, Xu Xin continued:

"So, what I talk to you is from the bottom of my heart. I have given you the greatest respect, but at the same time, the four of you must understand one thing, that is, any unit, any team, and anyone, for small groups, It's all very disgusting. We want to find like-minded partners, and we treat them with frankness and sincerity. But if you start to think of yourself as a small group before you even come in, that's unnecessary. I mean Did you communicate clearly?"

"Ming... I understand, Director Xu. We understand."

"Well, that's fine. Of course, as for whether to work in Beijing, my promise is still valid. If the film festival is successfully held and is on the right track, then the position can be adjusted. But before that, the factory can't agree. Is there anything else? If not, I have a meeting here..."

"It's gone, I'm sorry, Director Xu, I really caused you trouble..."

"Well, then I'll hang up first."

"Okay, Director Xu, goodbye."

"See you."

The phone hangs up.

Liang Bingning, who was listening from the beginning to the end, said with a smile:

"It sounds so familiar."

"what?"

Xu Xin looked up at her wonderingly.

"Your trick... Looking back at the beginning, it seems that I was also slapped by your trick to give a sweet date to Fang Zhu."

"..."

Xu Xin suddenly became embarrassed.

Not really.

It really is……

So he hastened to make amends:
"I'm not slapping Tianzao, but telling the truth."

"That's why it's called Enwei Bingshi?"

"..."

Speechless, Xu Xin turned to look at his wife.

Just one word for both eyes:

"help me."

As for Yang Mi, half of her was pretending to be stupid, and she didn't want to get involved in this.

For the other half, she wasn't thinking about it at all.

Just listen to the sound effect of gold coins colliding from time to time on her mobile phone, ding ding dong dong.

At this moment, she didn't pay attention to her husband at all.

You two chat, don't take me, I'll play games for a while.

"Temple Run" is fun.

And Liang Bingning didn't delve too deeply into it, everyone was just sitting together and chatting now.

I didn't intend to mention any work or anything like that.

But Xu Xin's phone call made her curiously ask:
"The factory is going to hold a film festival?"

"Ah."

He didn't explain why Liang Bingning didn't know about this kind of thing.

Why is the cast involved in the management...

That's called ultra vires.

And Liang Bingning also understood this truth. After Xu Xin agreed, she continued to ask:

"When?"

"Within two years."

"internationality?"

"Domestic. The form is that of the three major European companies, but first do a good job in the country and then talk about other things. It belongs to the link of supporting cultural tourism."

"Well...the judges here..."

"There must be a place for you."

"What about you?"

"Me? I won't get involved. I will be the person in charge of the director's support plan. After all, at my age, if I join the jury, I'm afraid it will cause some controversy."

Hearing this, Liang Bingning was a little surprised:

"So cautious?"

"Well...it's okay."

One sentence is okay, so Liang Bingning didn't know how to continue the conversation.

In fact, she still cared about the phone call that night.

I want to know what Xu Xin is thinking.

But she is usually very good at chatting, but today she feels a little unable to keep up with Xu Xin's train of thought.

It was as if he was deliberately avoiding something.

And in the midst of torturing and paradoxical hesitation, Yang Mi put away the phone:
"Bah! Trash games! Destroy my youth!"

After cursing the street, she stood up directly:
"Do you have anything else to do this afternoon?"

"Gone."

After Xu Xin finished speaking sincerely, Yang Mi asked again:

"When will Director Zhang arrive?"

"Around 6 o'clock."

Hearing this, Yang Mi turned to look at Liang Bingning again:

"Sister, let's have dinner at home tonight."

"Uh... well."

"Well, let's go? The three big boys haven't eaten my cooking for a few days. I'm in a good mood today, let's show off."

Just when Liang Bingning was wondering who the "three big boys" were, the couple patted their buttocks to say hello and left.

She looked at the closed door of the office...

Gradually, a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

Then the resignation turned into a wave of worry.

But I worry that there are some weird things in it.

Finally, all emotions turned into a sigh.

He took out his mobile phone and sent Wang Dongying a message:
"Yingying, help me cancel the dinner with the group tonight, just say I'm not feeling well, so I won't go."

……

Jay Chou likes to eat French or Italian food.

I especially like Yang Mi's Neapolitan seafood stew.

Wang Sicong is proud to eat pasta, and likes to eat the flower rolls made by Xu Xin's sister-in-law.In terms of the taste selection of dishes, I prefer home-cooked tastes.

As long as it is the food of the old Xu's family, there is basically nothing to be proud of.

As for the old wolf, he likes stewed meat.

He doesn't like to eat particularly strong stewed meat, and his favorite is the second meal of braised pork and boiled cabbage.

There is also fried shredded pork with green peppers left over.

You don’t have to eat the shredded pork, but the green peppers soaked in vegetable soup are my favorite.

There is also a second meal of fish jelly.

I don’t know what Sister Bingbing likes to eat, but Director Zhang likes to eat steamed buns. I don’t choose meat or vegetables, but I like to eat it with a bowl of thick porridge.

The two drove out from Xiying Studio and walked all the way to the supermarket.

Not long after entering a large supermarket with a mask, the big and small bags were brought out.

It was just after four o'clock when I got home.

She got to work.

First stir-fry shredded chili pepper randomly, just stir-fry it with salt and soy sauce casually, cover it with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator after frying.

Taken out like this is the second meal of shredded pork with green peppers.

There is also a sea bass next to it. The body and belly of the fish are full of shredded ginger and scallions, which have been marinated with pepper and cooking wine.

Yang Dalin, who was working in the kitchen, had already blanched the meat, and after she finished frying the peppers, she began to fry the sugar.

Soon, there was a sound of sizzling, and the home-cooked braised pork had already entered the pot.

After stewing, Yang Mi began to cut the tomatoes.

Yang Dalin, who freed his hands, began to cut cowpeas for his daughter.

Cowpea with minced meat is used to sandwich buns, or put a spoonful on top of thick porridge, and eat with chopsticks.

No matter how you eat this dish, how comfortable you are.

When Yang Mi's pot of freshly boiled tomato juice began to simmer, Yang Dalin also cut up the cowpea, put it on a plate and put it aside.

Whether it is Yang Mi or the minced meat, it gives the marinade a taste.

And Yang Dalin started to deal with a whole three-yellow chicken he bought.

The sound of chopping and chopping sounded.

On Yang Mi's side, they started talking.

From a noodle-making novice at the beginning to a hand-kneading expert now, her kneading skills with one hand, and her mental and physical skills can be regarded as the highest level.

The noodles are divided into two pots, and the amount is not much.

One portion contains yeast, which is used for cheese buns and steamed flower rolls for Wang Sicong.One portion is kneaded with alkaline noodle water, this kind of alkaline noodle is strong, and her man likes to eat it.

When the noodles wake up, the chickens over there are also chopped.

Not blanching, but soaking in cold water.

The water has to be changed two to three times to soak all the blood and fry it.

There is a little more soup in the raw stir-fry, and I will save it for my man to make noodles.

After processing these, the tomato sauce is almost collected. The tomato sauce with three different flavors of tomato puree, tomato sauce and fresh tomato is added, which is the base for cooking Neapolitan-style seafood stew.

When she finished, the mother in the living room had already processed the shrimp strings, abalone viscera, etc., and came in with a bowl of seafood.

The braised pork continued to simmer on the induction cooker, and she finally got a moment of respite and walked out of the kitchen.

In the living room, Xu Xin was picking vegetables.

It was the only job he could do.

A basket of green vegetables, a bowl of garlic, and a pot of potatoes.

This is the result of his busy work for more than an hour.

Horribly inefficient.

But Yang Mi didn't dislike her either.

Do what you can.

But when she looked at the cabbage next to her husband, she sighed speechlessly.

A good cabbage was forcibly chopped into a baby dish by you.

Why do you say you are so promising!

Full of helplessness, she hypocritically walked to his side:

"Awesome, I reward you with one~"

After the words fell, Xu Xin raised his head.

"Baji" she just took a bite.

Then he collapsed on the sofa and checked the time...

One full hour.

Hmm, not bad.

Rest for a while, wait for everyone to come back and start cooking.

Tonight's menu: braised pork, fried chicken, Neapolitan seafood stew, shredded pork with green peppers, minced cowpea meat, stir-fried vegetables, shredded potatoes in vinegar, and peanuts for drinking.

Exactly eight dishes.

Staple food: steamed buns with fresh cheese, hand-rolled alkaline water noodles, thick porridge...

right.

The porridge hasn't been boiled yet.

She quickly bounced off the sofa.

The time is short, and it won't work if it doesn't get mushy.

It seems that our Shaanxi daughter-in-law has no skills.
