I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 565 563. Freshmen
"Ah!!! Dad is back!!"

"Dong dong dong dong..."

Xu Xin, who had just entered the door, heard a scream, followed by the sound of... something very solid hitting the floor tiles.

Turning his head to look at the source of the direction, his daughter is like a...a little turtle with a 3.0T turbocharged engine, crawling towards him quickly.

He quickly squatted down and picked up his daughter.

"Oh, this knee hurts so much~"

Originally, I wanted to share the joy with the whole family when I entered the door, but it turned into a complaint.

Yang Mi who listened and followed behind rolled her eyes.

"Why don't you wear knee pads?"

He was speechless.

But Yang Mi pointed to the crumpled balls that looked like socks on the ground:

"It's useless, your girl can fly now, and this thing has to be rubbed off in less than 3 minutes after wearing it on the knee... Okay, hurry up, let me have a look."

"It's in the suitcase, take it yourself."

"Then you wash your son's ass, just pull."

It was originally a romantic thing, but in the end, a few words turned into a trivial life of the parents.

The best director in Venice returned home and his butt was still warm, but the hot pocket of the little guy's butt brought him back to reality.

In the past, I couldn't understand why the old man said, "I'll make you grow up with a handful of shit and a piss", but since he became a parent, he really understands.

Nodding to Zhang Qian who was sitting on the sofa holding a bowl and didn't know what to drink, he picked up his son who had crawled a bit more quickly in the past few days, and walked to the bathroom with a sour smell.

After coming out, Yang Mi naturally waited there with the bath towel and diapers for the child.

The trophy is in Zhang Qian's hands.

"Sanjin."

"what?"

"Why is this thing not gold, but silver?"

She looked curious.

Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

"It seems that personal honors are given to silver, and film honors are given to gold... I guess that's what it means. I didn't ask for details~"

"Oh...that's great!"

She smiled and said:

"My classmates and friends sent you congratulatory text messages the next day. You are really famous now!"

"I'm already famous."

Xu Xin made a joke, sitting on the sofa, glanced at Zhang Qian's stomach, and asked curiously:

"Have you checked? Boys and girls?"

"boy."

"What about the name? Have you figured it out?"

"Weian. Your brother thought about it, but the nickname hasn't been decided yet."

"Yes, it sounds good... Where did Sanshui go?"

"Modu, we are talking about land over there. It happens that you can find him when you go to Modu."

After Zhang Qian finished speaking, she seemed to remember something, and continued:

"Then your brother wants you two to be the spokespersons of the company. Isn't it popular to invite celebrities to speak for them to attract people who buy houses?"

Hearing this, Xu Xin looked at Yang Mi.

A young woman who was putting on diapers for her child said:
"I didn't promise my brother... I think it's too high-profile, it's not good. Although there are people who know about our relationship, but not many. But if it's so high-profile..."

"That's fine."

After understanding her thoughts, Xu Xin thought for a while and said:
"I'll forget it, you can take it. Then we will see who we need to bring, and then we will digest the advertising resources ourselves. Our family is doing people's livelihood, and word of mouth is more important than anything else. If you come to represent them, it can be regarded as working for them. People add a curse.

When thinking about what to do, first think about what it means to you as a spokesperson if something goes wrong.And when it comes to you, Xu Miao doesn't need to show any affection.The good outweighs the bad.Our family is a developer and a property manager. If you come to be the spokesperson, as long as the quality of the project and the after-sales service are excellent, it will be of great help to you. "

"...To sum up, I pushed myself out again?"

Yang Mi couldn't laugh or cry.

But my husband said so, so I agreed.

but……

"Let me do it myself first. For others... Take one step at a time. It's not good to give too much at once. It must be used as a reward to stimulate everyone's motivation."

"Ah."

Holding his daughter in his arms, he nodded in response, and then asked:
"Where's our dad?"

"Come back tomorrow and go to Nanzang to ask for a safe talisman for the child."

"How did you go? Driving?"

"Ah."

"Tsk, the old man's life is so chic these days."

Hearing that he was a son who worked so hard outside, but ended up living so chicly as an old man, he really envied him... But at this moment, he has more important things to do.

"Cough cough."

Suddenly, he coughed twice, and checked the time on his watch:
"What, I'm going to take a bath and rest for a while. The child must be sleepy too? You can take the child back later, and I'll hug them for a while."

"……Um."

Knowing Yang Mi immediately responded:
"It's time to go to bed. Then you go~ I will take the child back in a while."

After the couple finished their cryptic exchange, Xu Xin nodded at Zhang Qian and went upstairs directly.

As for Zhang Qian, she also sent off her little uncle with a smile.

He turned his head and glanced at his... sister-in-law whose eyes were almost drawn.

All of a sudden, she found the feeling of "the elder sister-in-law is the mother".

My brother-in-law has grown up, and the feeling of knowing how to push cabbage arises spontaneously.

So, she didn't poke it, but continued:
"Are you going to take the child up directly?"

"No, I'll help him clean up these dirty clothes first."

Yang Mi hurriedly pushed two large suitcases to the laundry room.

About ten minutes later, just after emptying the suitcase, I heard Zhang Qian at the door say:

"Mimi, Uncle Yang and I are taking the kids to go grocery shopping. Slip Zaizai and Niu Niu by the way."

"...Huh? Okay."

Yang Mi responded quickly, and then she pricked up her ears while removing the pair of sneakers for Xu Xin.

When she heard the "bang" sound of the door, she dropped the work without saying a word, took a few brisk steps and rushed upstairs.

Just entering the bedroom, Xu Xin was wiping her hair with a towel around her waist.

After seeing her coming in, he subconsciously asked:
"What about the child?"

"My sister-in-law took me to buy vegetables...hehehe..."

The little young woman who wanted to pant and breathe out the dragon's breath smiled happily, and stepped forward quickly, pulling his towel back and throwing it back!
"Take it off, you! Hehehe...hehehehe..."

While laughing, she slapped Xu Xin with "PIA":

"Go, lie down obediently for sister!"

"hiss……"

Xu Xin covered his waist with a look of grief and indignation.

Then obediently put a stick on the bed.

Close your eyes.

If you don't enter a tiger's den, you can't get a tiger's son!

Grandpa fights with you!
……

"I don't feel much after getting it."

Hearing this, Yang Mi, who was lying on his chest listening to the heartbeat, said without even opening her eyes:

"Yes, men are like this. If you get it, you don't cherish it~"

"...You are outrageous."

"Hey~ okay, let me see if the child is back, come back and hug you?"

"Aren't you going to sleep with me for a while?"

"I'll cook something delicious for you~... Oh yes, we have to have dinner with Director Zheng and the others tomorrow, and the machine will start up the day after tomorrow, don't forget."

"I know, I just happen to go to school tomorrow morning."

Looking greedily at the dressed wife, he looked over from head to toe, and then arched under the quilt contentedly:
"Get me some wet wipes."

"Fuck off, wash up quickly and put on your clothes. How can we wipe them clean with wet wipes?"

"...You also played super-level today."

"Ah~"

The young woman looked disgusted:
"You're already the best director in Venice, why are you still having sex with lesbians?"

Xu Xin's eyes lit up:
"Lesbians?"

"..."

The young woman who always felt that her husband was particularly flamboyant today tilted her head.

Neuropathy.

Just wait and see.

When I sleep with Shishi in the future, I will definitely not take you with me!
……

Zhang Qian came to Yanjing this time to raise a baby, and Shenmu didn't have such good conditions after all.Stay here in Yanjing until the birth, and then return to Shenmu after the birth.

The business at home is also inseparable from her.

During the time she was in Yanjing, Xu Daqiang had to go back to Shenmu.

After all, September is almost October, and the peak season of coal is coming soon.

There's no way, it's like this when the business is big.

Everyone is busy.

For the old Xu family, coal is the basic market and the top priority.

So, on the morning of the 17th, when Xu Xin got up and went downstairs, he saw the old man, who seemed darker than the last time he met, sitting on the sofa on the first floor, playing with his granddaughter and grandson with a smile.

After seeing his son come down, Xu Daqiang smiled and pointed at the necks of the two little guys:

"Come on, look wow."

Xu Xin went over to take a look and found that there was a red string hanging around Nuan Nuan's neck, and there was a round bead on the red string.

"Dzi bead?"

"Yep."

Xu Daqiang nodded:

"Keep the two children safe."

In fact, the water of Tianzhu is very deep, Xu Xin knows it.In the early years, it was very popular in Shenmu, and they were all invited from the southern Tibet to make offerings, in order to protect the safety of the mine.

Not only Tianzhu, but also land gods, Buddha statues... all kinds of safe things from Taoism and Buddhism can be seen.

At first everyone thought it was really a meteorite.

But after I found out that it was an agate bead, and the number of people who were deceived began to increase, so gradually no one bought it.

There was even a thing called "gabala" that was popular for a while.

It is the bones of those monks with profound cultivation...

Xu Xinguang felt terrified when he heard the name.

But mines are really rare.

So I'm not new to this thing, and I didn't ask the old man how much it cost... How much can this thing cost.

Just make up your mind.

"How many days do you live here?"

"When the two of you leave, we'll go back to Shenmu. We're all getting into the car."

The father and son still had a short chat among the parents.

Soon, after Yang Mi's breakfast was ready, the family began to eat breakfast.After breakfast, Xu Xin drove to Beiying.

The school season at Beiying has passed, and those freshmen who have been in military training for half a month have also changed into normal clothes.

He walked all the way to the training institute and parked the car on the parking space that Yu Zhen got for him.

He took out a mask from a box of new masks that Yang Mi bought for him, and while wearing it, he muttered:
"Why is it still black?"

It was only early 8 o'clock, and the opening ceremony at the movie theater was at 9:[-] o'clock. He didn't go directly, but went straight to the teaching building in the university area.

It is true that Mr. Yu leads graduate students, but more work is still done as the dean of the directing department.

And along the way, no one recognized him because of the mask he was wearing.

"Safe" arrived at the teaching building, went upstairs, and knocked on Yu Zhen's office door.

"Enter."

Hearing the voice inside, Xu Xin pushed open the door and took off his mask at the same time.

"Hey, Teacher Yu."

"Come on."

Seeing that it was Xu Xin, Yu Zhen smiled and waved.

"What's the big director doing here?"

"...Can I talk about mentoring?"

Yu Zhen simply rolled her eyes:
"What are you blind?"

After speaking, put a piece of information on the table:
"Here, see for yourself."

"Well……"

Xu Xin walked over to take a look, only to find that there were some student materials on it.

Tian Yusheng, male, Han nationality, born on March 1983, 3, graduated from the 16 Middle School Drama Academy...

There was nothing at first, but when he saw ""People on the Journey"" in the "Personal Works" column, Xu Xin was stunned:

"The screenwriter of "On the Journey"?...Graduated in 05? Are you just taking the postgraduate entrance examination now?"

"Ah."

Yu Zhen nodded:
"Although I don't know the specific reason, it is true that he reported to me this year."

"With my classmate?"

"Yes. Because of Guo Fan and the others, I don't plan to bring too many people this year. For this year's graduate program, I will choose people who have actual film and television director experience. Counting you, I will bring four this year."

Hearing this, Xu Xin turned another page.

"Jin...Yukun?"

"Then Nianxin! Xin!!"

Yu Zhen was speechless for an instant.

"Why can't you even read the words, a great director?"

"... Oh, right, right."

Xu Xin suddenly realized:

"XZ's XIN. Come to think of it, it's just above Taiyuan..."

As he said that, he looked at the other person's resume, and found that this person was actually from Xi'an Local Station.

"A local station? From a training class?"

"Yes. In the 08 advanced training class, his grades are not bad. In addition, I think he has work experience in Xi'an Film Studio and Xi'an TV, and he is very rich. Although his grades are not top-notch, I still want to come here."

As soon as Yu Zhen said this, Xu Xin understood the meaning.

This... how to say it.

In terms of teacher-student friendship, it is because Teacher Yu’s choice of students focuses on Northwesterners.But to put it a bit more biased, Xu Xin is helping her "establish a school", so her feedback is not the original intention of "nepotism".

This child was born in the Northwest and has connections with Xiying Studio and Xi'an TV, so even if her grades are not top-notch, she is willing to take care of her.

So I nodded and continued to scroll down:

"Bi Gan...you read GAN, right?"

"..."

Yu Zhen didn't want to talk to him anymore and said directly:

"Shanying came out. I know his teacher. When he found out that he was applying for Beijing Film Academy, he called me. I took a look at the works he created in school... Although it is rough, it has a taste of Jia Zhangke. It's not bad... The results of these three people are actually not top-notch, but they are all the kind of people who have their own ideas."

"Understood. Put all the brains into "33 Days", right?"

"..."

Xu Xin said this very casually.

But Yu Zhen felt very strange.

Anyway, you just won the best director in Venice... Can you help the teacher to go through the back door so that it is not so obvious?
Why does it taste so strange?

But she didn't object, because the main reason she found these three people was actually for Xu Xin.

What Xiying Studio wants is a director with his own ideas, and what he wants is a young army worth cultivating.

These three children, especially the last one named Bi Gan... She really thinks it is very good.

Although the audience may not be commercial enough...but then again.It is the biggest misunderstanding for a director to distinguish between commercial and art films from the beginning of his career.

You want to shoot what works for you.

Something that runs through your own train of thought.

This is the meaning of the director being given a soul.

Therefore, compared to those whose resumes are perfect at first glance, but they are the same, not "shooting advertisements for XX charity organizations" or "what a rich XX school life", she values ​​people who match her temperament as a disciple .

Not blindly, not blindly following.

independent thinking.

And this kind of seedling seed, as long as it is placed in suitable soil, it will definitely bear fruit... I dare not say it is beautiful, but at least there will be flowers with its own characteristics.

So he said:

"Get in touch more. What I can teach is only academic things. The practice depends on themselves, and the character depends on others."

"I know."

Xu Xin nodded again:

"Then I'll just take it away this time. Tomorrow, I'll go to Shanghai and take the three of them with me. I just happen to have a touch with Guo Fan and the others... Let's treat it as a different kind of opening ceremony. Leave some homework, Let them finish."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Zhen took out another piece of paper:

"Here, you choose. One on each side."

Xu Xin saw that there were four topics on this piece of paper:
"1. Dramatic Narrative and Social Portraits--Research on Director Xu Xin's Films
2. Research on the behind-the-scenes creative thinking of the director of "33 Days of Broken Love"
3. The postmodern aesthetics of "deviant" --- the influence of unique social outlook on the psychology of book adaptation and creation

4. Try to analyze director Xu Xin's style and aesthetic characteristics"

"Teacher Yu...don't..."

When seeing the words "director Xu Xin's film research" and "director Xu Xin's style and aesthetics", Xu Xin's scalp suddenly went numb.

The first thing to do is the same as the rattle:
"But don't...how can I hang out with everyone after this topic comes out?"

"You are a leader, not a companion, what are you doing?"

Yu Zhen couldn't laugh or cry:

"Don't you think that a director who can win the best director in Venice has no academic value worth studying?"

"But... then... you can't... at least you shouldn't..."

"What shouldn't be? Shouldn't the title be so explicit?"

Yu Zhen continued to ask, tilting her head to look at her proud disciple:

"Do you know the value of these four topics to other graduate students? You are by their side, and they can study you directly. The feedback of this kind of academic paper is authentic because you are by your side. Guess what, these three Putting people aside, what would Guo Fan and the others choose?"

"..."

Xu Xin was speechless.

Seeing this, Yu Zhen took a pen and drew two circles on these four topics.

"Just these two, 2 and 4. 2 You let Guo Fan and the others come, after all, they participated in the creation, and must have their own ideas on this. 4 Let Bi Gan and the others come, and they will definitely ask you when they get this topic , which also gives them a channel to get to know you."

As she spoke, she looked up at Xu Xin...

His disciple's face was already red up to the ears.

not to mention...

Quite cute.

So she went on laughing and said:

"Okay, don't have such a big psychological burden. You have to know that the meaning of these two academics is to deeply analyze what you may only be subconscious when creating, but can inspire others. Your aesthetic talent is top-notch , they may not be able to catch up. But as long as they can find themselves, this is the meaning of this academic proposition. They analyze you, not to please you. They want to get their own inspiration from your movies, strictly speaking , has nothing to do with you."

"But... I analyze myself? If you can write this topic for them, what should I do?"

"Well……"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhen pondered the truth.

So with a wave of his hand:
"Then stop writing and concentrate on making movies."

One sentence saves a paper.

Words are full of love.

"……okay."

For a while, I didn't know that I should feel lucky that I didn't have to write a thesis.Or is it unfortunate that Mr. Yu clearly regards himself as a "back door" student, and the gold plating is over...

In short, Xu Xin has one less paper to write.

And now the time is almost up, holding the materials in hand, she stood up:

"Let's go to the theater."

"Ok."

Xu Xin nodded and followed her out.

"How does it feel to win an award?"

"Yesterday, Yang Mi and I were still discussing. I said that I was quite nervous before I took it, but after I took it, I felt that it was meaningless..."

The two picked up this trip to Venice and started chatting.

And when Xu Xin said that she hadn't watched any movies except domestic ones because of the language barrier, Yu Zhen was a little speechless.

My disciple... is really weird.

You say he can't do anything... Hey, he just broke the age record for the best director in Venice.

You say he is a genius...he can't even tell the difference between Jin and Xin.

English is even more shit.

but……

Xu Xin's biggest advantage is actually here.

"I got along very well with my interpreter this time, and it has been agreed. When I come back from Canada to take wedding photos, she will start tutoring me in English. She is from a language school and teaches those who want to go abroad. People who can quickly master oral English and so on... I will work harder, and I will be able to communicate fluently in half a year or a year, and then rely on the amount of words to pile up... Next time at the film festival, at least I can understand it!"

look.

After discovering one's own flaws, people know to make up for them.

Yu Zhen looked relieved.

While the two were talking, they had already walked out of the teaching building.

At this time, one after another, the first-year freshmen went to the big playground.

Xu Xin probably took a look...

"It feels like there are quite a lot of beautiful girls."

"The source of students this year is really good... Oh yes, that Nazha is now the school girl."

"Yo? Has it been judged?"

"Well, it belongs to the kind of crushing. 10 girls, 9 of them together are not as tall as her own. And I heard from Director Cui of the acting department that this child knows how to work hard. She is on the first day of freshman registration. I met her in the library. I took it easy and checked her borrowed books, it seems that she knows how to put her heart into it."

Following Yu Zhen's words, Xu Xin felt relieved:
"That's fine. Beauty is a weapon, but many people don't know how to use it. As long as she knows how to use it, no matter what her future achievements are, at least the starting point is much higher than others. You know that child's fate, it is very bitter, little What she experienced at a young age, as long as she is willing to work hard, her experience will be her sharpest weapon and spiritual support in the future..."

The two were talking, when suddenly, two girls walked over from the dormitory.

"Hello Director Yu... huh? Xu... Xu... Xu..."

Yang Zi, who originally wanted to say hello to Yu Zhen, was stunned when he saw the face of the handsome young man next to him.

"Hello, Teacher Yu, and Brother Xu."

At this time, Nazha's voice sounded.

Xu Xin moved his ears.

Hearing the title she called, he looked at the dull girl next to him.

Xia Xue?

Looking at the expression on Xia Xue's face in "Family with Children", he took another look at the beautiful and fair Nazha.

Seems to understand something, suddenly smiled and nodded:
"Your sister told me yesterday that she wanted to call you over for dinner yesterday, but something was delayed. When we come back from Canada, tell your sister what you want to eat in advance, and she will make it for you."

While Nazha was trying to suppress the joy in her eyes and the somewhat "guilty" emotion, Xu Xin said this with a smile, which directly stunned Yang Zi.

Nazha... Meet Director Xu! ?

And listen to the tone...

It seems that you are still very close?
? ? ? ?
And Yu Zhen, who knew more about the situation than Yang Zi, chuckled inwardly after seeing Nazha's expression in her eyes:
"Ha, clever little girl."
