I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 67 065

"Am I really... shortlisted?"

Xu Xin was a little unconfident, as if he didn't believe these things were true.

"Hahahahaha..."

Hearing his words, everyone in the room laughed.

Zhang Wu got up and patted him on the shoulder:

"Why don't you go wash your face and clear your mind? You can see that the child is almost cooked."

"Hahahahaha..."

There was another burst of good-natured laughter from the people in the room.

And Zhang Yimou's brows were completely relaxed, and he nodded to him:
"It's true... okay, hurry up and calm down. Go back tonight and think about it, and then hurry up and get the torch out in the next few days, understand?"

"Uh...understood."

Still in that dreamlike unreality, Xu Xin nodded subconsciously.

"Well, there's nothing else. I've been running for a day. You should get off work first... Oh yes, a few rooms have been cleaned up on the thirteenth floor this afternoon. The keys are hanging at the door of the conference room. If you want to Work overtime to make this, and sleep here."

"...Okay. Then...I...go out first?"

"Haha, let's go."

Looking at the child's red face that finally subsided, Zhang Yimou nodded with a smile.

And when Xu Xin walked out, he suddenly said:
"Xiao Xu should have insomnia tonight."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

……

Xu Xin didn't go to the rest room.

But also did not go home.

Instead, I sat in the A6 in a daze.

He didn't know what he was thinking, he just felt empty in his mind.

It is very happy to say that it is very happy, but it can be said that it is in a trance and very trance.

Olympic Games.

this is.

It's not about holding something in the city or doing something casually.

This is a worldwide event!

The history of China's Olympic bid is actually the history of China's rise.

Now China has finally got this opportunity. When it narrowly lost Sydney by two votes, countless people regretted the result after hearing the result. Now it is only one step away from the centenary prayer in 2008.

What does the Olympic Games mean to China.

Xu Xin didn't dare to think about it.

It is simply unimaginable.

And this unimaginable mixture of expectation and enthusiasm will endow the torch that appeared in Greece, and what kind of brilliance it will burst out the moment it is lit from the holy fire altar.

Xu Xin couldn't imagine it either.

but……

Now, he has a... chance that can almost be written into history.

What should I say?
What are you thinking?
Does he have a concept?
No.

he's just a kid...

At most, he can be regarded as a brat with a bit of money.

But now, this little kid suddenly has a glorious opportunity to bear the expectations of more than one billion people.

Xu Xin suddenly felt that he had been hollowed out.

Completely emptied...

I want to talk to people, but I can't.

Because of secrecy.

I want to talk to someone... no, I have to bear it.

Only he himself knows how uncomfortable it is to feel the joy in his heart bursting out from nowhere.

So he doesn't want to go home.

But I don't know what to do.

Even fidgeting.

Subconsciously, he wanted to smoke, but when he took the cigarette, he realized that his hands were shaking.

Shaking non-stop.

Trembling, he lit a cigarette, but before he smoked, he heard his phone vibrate.

Subconsciously picked it up and took a look.

Yang Mi: "I'm done."

"..."

He seems to have found an outlet.

Call back.

"Beep beep... hello?"

The girl's voice full of doubts sounded:
"Why are you so fast?"

After yesterday's oath was broken, Yang Mi was a little puzzled.

Then I heard a trembling exhalation on the phone:

"Whoo~~~~~~"

"...Why is your voice trembling?"

She was even more puzzled.

Then I heard Xu Xin's trembling voice:

"No~~It's okay~~~"

"...It's okay? You're shaking when you speak, what are you doing?"

"I'm~~~in the car~~~"

"...No, brother, let's have a good talk, okay? You're shaking so hard. What's wrong with you? Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell? Why don't you stop first, pull over to the side of the road, and you Don't scare people."

"Uh~~I'm fine~~I smoke~~~"

"You're shaking even more..."

"..."

As a last resort, Xu Xin took two deep puffs of his cigarette.

After taking two big mouthfuls and exhaling the smoke in a long way, he finally suppressed that emotion a bit.

"Is it better now?"

"Well, what's the matter? What happened?"

"...It's all right."

"Come on, you must have something to do. If it's okay, you don't usually do this."

Hearing the girl's words, Xu Xin's face was full of bitterness.

Because he is more uncomfortable than before.

The taste of wanting to say but not being able to say it... Really, it's too tortured.

can only say:

"The matter at work is a good thing. Don't worry about it. It's a great thing... But I can't tell you, I have to keep it secret..."

Then, Yang Mi's mentality collapsed.

"No, brother, are you playing with me!?"

Holding the phone, the girl's voice changed beyond recognition:

"Why are you so annoying!!! Oh~~~Why are you so annoying!!! What! Why don't you talk!!! I've been lying to you for a few days, and you still don't tell me! Now I'm finally calmed down, and you're hooking me up again! Why are you so annoying!!!! If you want to say it, just say it, don't say it, can you stop torturing people!! Oops!!!!"

"……hey-hey."

Hearing her reaction, Xu Xin seemed to see her virtue of jumping and cursing.

Can't help laughing out loud.

"stop laughing!?"

Yang Mi was even annoyed:
"Are you sincere!? Damn you! You're too much! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

"Pfft...hahahahahahahaha..."

Finally, Xu Xin could no longer suppress the joy in his heart.

In fact, Yang Mi's virtue of jumping and cursing in the street was just an introduction, and he laughed heartily, more because he wanted to express the pride in his heart.

He was laughing wildly.

Even laughed to tears.

And Yang Mi was speechless at first.

But listening, listening... Gradually, something was not right.

The laugh was a little too exaggerated.

Instinctively, she forced her mind to calm down.

Just listening to the other party... I can't tell the reason, but I can feel how happy he is smiling.

She waited until the laughter died down before she said:
"It seems that something good happened to you, otherwise you wouldn't be so successful... Can you really not say it?"

"I can't."

The laughter slowly dissipated.

Xu Xin, who still had tears in the corners of his eyes, said sincerely:

"You...wait a little longer, can you? I guess it will be soon. When the time comes, I will definitely tell you."

"...The time has come, secret or secret?"

"Yeah. Why not? It's just that the big secret has become a little secret..."

"Um???"

Yang Mi instinctively lowered her head, and looked at her...

startle me.

I thought I could see the toes!

She pouted dissatisfied.

But people have said so, what can I say.

All I could say was annoyed:
"How long will it take?"

"I really don't know that."

"...you are so annoying!"

"Hahaha~"

Strange to say, after chatting with the girl for a while and expressing the joy in his heart through the maniacal laughter just now, his mood gradually recovered.

"Are you done?"

"That's right, I just finished my boxed lunch, and I'm waiting for the driver to pick me up and go back to the hotel."

"...and a private driver? Why is your coffee position so big?"

Xu Xin was a little surprised, but Yang Mi on the phone rolled her eyes:
"Pull it down, what kind of private driver. Do you think I'm Liu Tianxian? They pick up the bus, but young actors like us can only squeeze the hired minibus back. Let me tell you, right now It’s nothing, you know how miserable I am when I come in the morning. I don’t know who gets up to eat steamed buns in the morning. It should be stuffed with meat, and the oil in the steamed buns should be rubbed on the clothes. Oh, the smell... almost smoked kill me."

"Just like a bus?"

"Yes, it's just like the smell on the bus and subway... A young actor is so bitter, there's nothing I can do. Just wait, when I become a big star in the future, whoever dares to eat steamed stuffed buns, I will let them go around!"

Hearing the girl's harsh tone, Xu Xin laughed again.

After taking his last puff of cigarette, he said:
"Then what are you going to do tonight?"

"Playing games, I have a notebook with me."

"...Don't you think about your script and acting skills?"

"Uh……"

Suddenly, the girl's voice became a little guilty:
"Definitely ponder... just... play after pondering."

"Going to the grave to burn newspapers, why are you fooling around?"

Xu Xin rolled his eyes directly:
"How can you become a big star if you don't hone your acting skills?"

"...I'm thinking about it, who said I don't think about it."

"Really pondering?"

"Really...really."

"The more you talk, the more guilty you become."

"Oh, it's annoying!... I won't play anymore, okay!? I'm thinking about acting!"

"You can think about it while reading the original book. Guo Xiang in the original book is actually very chic. Do you know why Zhang Sanfeng likes her? After 100 years, I can't forget her."

"...What? Zhang Sanfeng likes Guo Xiang?"

Yang Mi was dumbfounded.

Xu Xin was also dumbfounded...

No, Miss.

Even if I am ignorant and incompetent, I have watched "Sculpture of God" and "Yitian".

You ask this...

Don't you feel ashamed?

Xu Xin was speechless:
"Let me ask you, what is Guo Xiang's nickname?"

"...Little Dongxie."

"Then why is she called Xiao Dongxie?"

"...Like her grandpa."

"That's her grandfather!!"

Xu Xin was completely speechless:
"Dongxihuang Yaoshi is Guo Xiang's grandfather, not her grandfather!"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, I made a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue."

Xu Xin sighed when he heard that the girl was still dead and refused to admit it...

"Hey... listen carefully. First of all, Guo Xiang's appearance is three parts like Huang Rong and three parts like her grandmother Feng Heng. And the nickname "Little Dongxie" is not given to others. She also inherited her parents, both righteous and evil, so her elder sister Guo Fu called her "Little Dongxie", this nickname was given to her by her elder sister.

The first time Zhang Sanfeng and Guo Xiang met was at the top of Mount Hua, but the second time they met was at Shaolin Temple.Then Guo Xiang gave Zhang Sanfeng a pair of iron arhats. The iron arhats have traps, and after opening, they can perform a complete set of Shaolin Luohan boxing.Zhang Sanfeng learned this set of boxing skills from this iron arhat, but he violated the rule of Shaolin that "you can't learn martial arts that are not taught by your master".It was also the foreshadowing of his escape from Shaolin later.

Zhang Sanfeng did not admit that he liked Guo Xiang. In the original book "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji", it was mentioned that a shadow of a young girl appeared in front of Zhang Sanfeng.And it was that figure that he could never forget for the rest of his life.It was Guo Xiang.

It was actually confirmed that Zhang Sanfeng liked Guo Xiang, and it was revealed through the stories of his disciples, Zhang Wuji's father Zhang Cuishan and his mother Yin Susu, who escaped from Binghuo Island and met Yu Lianzhou.It also proves that Zhang Sanfeng likes Guo Xiang, but Guo Xiang pretends to be Yang Guo in his heart.It was only when Zhang Sanfeng was [-] years old that he really understood why Guo Xiang said "I don't know where I will go" when she was in Shaolin Temple. It wasn't that she didn't know where to go, but that she didn't know what to do.Because she likes Yang Guo, she doesn't know what to do.

Do you understand?And when Zhang Sanfeng understood this truth, his temples were already gray.Therefore, in the original book, Guo Xiang likes Yang Guo, but the relationship between Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv is doomed to no one in this world. Guo Xiang has no chance from the beginning... But Guo Xiang is indeed very similar in temperament and personality. Men, some people even compared her temperament with Qiao Feng.

She is a real female hero in Jin Lao's works. Even if there are not many words, you can talk about the fullness of the characters. If you imagine through everyone's mouth, you will find that she not only surpasses her mother Huang Rong, but even in all Jin Lao's books before and after. There is almost nothing comparable to it!understand?Her story is a legend, and the character image is beyond the existence of many people.If you don't interpret and perform it carefully, you can only be a strange passer-by at best, not a heroine who can be admired by countless generations. "

"..."

After Xu Xin fully confessed his understanding.

From the beginning, it was just gossip about why Zhang Sanfeng and Guo Xiang had an affair, and then the more I listened, the more serious I became...

The girl holds the phone silently, frowning, thinking...

"That is to say, she has to be very arrogant, so arrogant?"

"That's right, the heroic Qianyun inheritance even surpassed her father Guo Jing, and is on par with Qiao Feng. But at the same time, that kind of eccentricity is inherited from Huang Rong's extreme intelligence. Her temperament is both good and evil. When she is upright, you can't wait to worship her." , but when it comes to evil, it is even far superior to that of mother Huang Rong, green out of blue and better than blue."

"...It sounds... difficult to grasp."

The girl frowned:

"It seems that I can't control it now."

"That's why I asked you to work hard. If you can't control it, then try to get closer. It's like the original book... Let Guo Xiang only exist in hearsay and all kinds of incredible things, but in fact she really doesn't have much ink."

"This……"

No joke mentality.

The girl thought about it seriously and said:
"I have to call my acting teacher to talk about this...I won't talk to you for now, okay?"

"You still have to read the original novel. Do you know? Guo Xiang is definitely not a flower vase. The depth of her characters... In fact, in my opinion, it is higher than many characters in Jin Lao's works."

"...Okay, I understand. I have the original book, but I haven't read it. I'm going to see if I can buy a copy of "Yitian"... Oh, it's a pity, I should have known... The few of us Yue has to think about it..."

"..."

Xu Xin was speechless.

This girl really thinks that she can travel all over the world with just a few Stennis templates?
But he didn't say that.

Because it is not necessary.

She has a clear goal and is willing to work hard.

What is needed at this time is encouragement instead of pouring a basin of cold water, saying something like "It's too late for you to work hard now, the filming of the drama has already started, what's the use of talking about it" and the like.

Therefore, he directly gave his encouragement:
"come on!"

"Well! Hang up."

Just hang up, without the slightest hesitation.

The girl glanced at the time...

You still have time.

After returning to the set, I hurried to buy books.

It's a big deal to stay up late tonight.

Guo Xiang...

Yes, Guo Xiang!

……

After hanging up the phone, frankly speaking, Xu Xin felt quite accomplished.

Because he feels that he has given some inspiration to those around him.

Although it may be just my own humble opinion, it is at least useful.

And talking to Yang Mi, didn't it help him to stabilize his emotions?

So he lit another cigarette.

This time, the hands finally stopped shaking.

Completely smoked, raised the window, and got out of the car.

He bowed his head and sent Yang Mi a message:
"Then I'm going to work overtime too. This task is very important, let's work hard together!"

After sending it, regardless of whether the other party replied or not, I just muted my phone, went back to the [-]th floor, found the official Olympic torch information released by the International Olympic Organizing Committee from the reference room, and took it back to the props room.

He doesn't have the ability of director Ma Wen. He can draw a very similar thing on the computer with an electronic drawing board.

That's too professional, he doesn't understand.

But he can use a paintbrush.

"You haven't left yet?"

"Ah."

Nodding to Li Li who greeted him, Xu Xin unfolded a piece of paper again, picked up a pencil and began to formally determine the size and draw a sketch.

First look at the size of the Olympic torches of various countries, and then locate the four corners on the sketch paper.

Then start sketching.

2 points in the early hours.

Coloring is done.

Xu Xin was the only one left in the prop room.

And he looked at the drawing paper in front of him... he didn't feel sleepy at all, but quietly lit a cigarette.

In the misty smoke, he began to write down what was in his mind in the corner of the drawing.

"Weight: light (it is convenient for athletes to run without feeling heavy)"

"Material: TBA (Light)"

"It also has the function of preventing sweating and slipping. (There was a news about the torchbearer complaining that the sweaty torch would be slippery in the Sydney Olympic Games)"...

After writing down all the requirements that he thought needed to be solved tomorrow on the blueprint, he pondered for a while, and after confirming that his thinking should have thought of all aspects, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fatigue gradually came to him.

He got up and went out, locked the door, got the key in the big conference room, and found a newly furnished single room.

The single room is similar to the style of the hotel.

He wasn't picky either, and returned to the house after taking the disposable toothbrush to freshen up in the public bathroom.

"I just finished my work and fell asleep."

Just sent a message to Yang Mi, who would have thought that the other party would reply in seconds:

"I'm reading the original, you go to sleep, good night."

Xu Xin was happy.

Sense of shame and then courage.

not bad.

"Well, good night, go to bed early."

Throwing the phone to the bed, he closed his eyes.

But he didn't sleep for a long time, and he was always thinking about the torch, so he slept until after 8 o'clock, when he woke up.

Although he didn't rest enough, the desire and excitement in his mind forced him to open his eyes, tidied up, folded the quilt, and went downstairs again.

And when Xu Jin arrived at the prop shop at 9 o'clock, Xu Xin who had been waiting outside the door didn't even let him in, so he dragged him and ran into the fourth house.

After running to the institute and asking Xu Jin to be in charge of welding the picture scrolls and installing the ignition device, he found Zhou Chenghe, the engineer who helped him make the computer pattern yesterday, and started to study the materials with the design drawing.

After all, he is knowledgeable. After looking at Xu Xin's request, he said directly:
"The main material is aluminum alloy. If it ignites, you don't have to worry about it. It's absolutely fine. Then your anti-slip requirement...you can try to make a rubber anti-slip layer. The aluminum alloy used in aerospace is light in itself. If it is heavy...I think about it ..."

He compared the size of the design drawing, pondered for a while and said:
"Counting the anti-skid layer, it should not exceed two kilograms at most. What about the internal structure, how do you design it?"

"……I do not understand."

"Well, let's follow the traditional three sets."

The opponent pointed to the end of the design drawing:

"Fuel. The middle end is the voltage stabilizer, the heat recovery device. If it is your size...the propane combustion should last about ten to fifteen minutes...Try?"

"Try it~! Brother Zhou, come here, you have to worry about the interior design."

"……hey-hey."

Although it sounded a bit sloppy at first, Zhou Chenghe's eyes immediately became hot.

"Well, leave it to me!...give me two days, and I'll get the exterior car out first!"

"no problem!"

Xu Xin agreed without saying a word.

And Zhou Chenghe walked into the workshop directly.

Then in the afternoon, Xu Xin saw a silver and red "ribbon" wrapped around the torch designed yesterday.

People from the creative team came to the test site.

Standing behind the explosion-proof glass, as Xu Xin's countdown ended.

The worker pressed a button.

The resistance wire started to heat up, igniting the lead wire.

The lead wires flared.

then……

"Boom bang bang bang..."

As the flame burned, the flame devices inside the entire plate surrounding the main torch were designed according to the program, one by one emitting a soaring flame.

It looked like a platoon of fired mortars, part machine gun.

Flames shot up into the sky one after another, and finally, the main torch... was successfully lit!
The moment I saw the flame of the main torch burning...

"Oh hoo!!!!"

Liu Mingsheng was the first to cheer, and grabbed Xu Xin's shoulder:

"Xu Xin! It's done! It's done!!!"

"……what."

Xu Xin nodded with a DV in his hand...

"It's just a pity... It would be nice to watch it at night..."

"Hahaha, it's okay! Let's wait until it gets dark and do it again! Hahahahaha..."

The ecstatic Xu Jin's eyes were burning.

And in the evening, because Xu Xin's creative team notified in advance in the afternoon, no one in the entire team left today.

A group of people gathered in the large meeting room. In the dark, they watched the successful ignition on the projection screen. As the dark fire rose, everyone cheered and screamed from the speakers, causing the camera to shake...

I just feel that a big burden has been let out of my heart.

All eyes fell on the young man standing next to the screen.

Just now, according to Xu Xin's narration, the reason why the torch sits so big is to match the electronic screen that the creative team is rushing to produce.

After all, the current screen cannot be made particularly small, and at the same time, I am afraid that people will not be able to see the effect clearly.

So I chose a 17-inch computer screen as the connection.

And now the animation is still in production and cannot be released.

But if this is the case, it is enough to relieve them.

The whole opening ceremony, what is the most important.

Two links.

The first link is the raising of the two flags. There must be absolutely no mistakes in raising the two flags.

Everyone is very relieved about this.

The second one is that the main torch was successfully lit?
Or put aside the factors at the national level, the entire opening ceremony is a performance.

And the lighting of the torch is the perfect curtain call at the end of the performance.

At present, although various creative plans are still being discussed, constructed, and conceived.But the final plan for lighting the torch has already come out.

And recognized by all.

Simultaneously, the simulation experiment was also successful.

You know... it hasn't been announced yet!

These few fresh blood in the team have already sent you such a big gift.

Can you feel at ease?
While feeling comfortable, everyone's eyes were on Zhang Yimou.

In the past few days, everyone has put forward, adopted, and overturned too many suggestions.

The only thing that can be recognized and preserved is this ignition scheme.

Director, what do you say?
under the watchful eyes of all.

Zhang Yimou frowned.

After being silent for about half a minute, he looked at Xu Xin who was also waiting for him, and nodded:

"Good job, Xiao Xu. Come up with a plan for the animation of the subsequent scroll unfolding as soon as possible!"

"..."

Xu Xin was subconsciously taken aback.

But the second reaction immediately was to nod.

Nod vigorously.

"Well! Don't worry, the director, the dynamic animation will definitely be shown to you in three days to a week at the latest!"

"Okay! Then I'll leave it to you... It just so happens that everyone is here, so let's announce the good news to everyone."

Zhang Yimou got up slowly and walked to the middle of the projection screen.

But Xu Xin quickly turned off the projection screen, and at the same time turned on the lights in the meeting room at the door.

Zhang Yimou propped his hands on the table, facing the crowd, and said in a very calm tone:
"After the decision of the organizing committee, on the 25th of this month, that is, the day after tomorrow, we will formally hold a press conference to the whole society, announcing the appointment of our team as the team responsible for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games. Directorship. Well, that's it."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The whole place was silent.

Although it is clear that this matter is already a certainty.

But after hearing this, everyone was still a little shocked... and after the shock, it was replaced by a huge and incomparable ecstasy.

"Oh!!!!!!"

"Clap clap clap clap..."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Applause and cheers rang out in the conference room.

Zhang Yimou, who put his hands on the table, nodded and bowed to everyone:
"For the next two years or so... I'll leave it to everyone!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Xu Xin applauded with everyone.

But his gaze was always on Zhang Yimou's shoulder.

A question popped up in my mind.

"How much pressure did he bear? Can he appear so calm at this moment of joy?"

he does not know.

But he admired it very much.

(By the way, the appointment ceremony is actually on April 4th, but if the plot needs it here, it was changed to March 16th. At the same time, some film and television works in this book, if it is not a drama that is particularly out of the timeline , I will change the time if needed, it is not written by the author, let me tell you first, please understand)
