I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 89 087.
"Director, Director Xu!"

Because the crew has all come to the palace, there are only a few extras and staff left.

As soon as Xu Xin stepped down the steps, he heard someone calling himself.

Turn around and look...

Zhao Liying, who still maintains that palace hairstyle, is running all the way here.

"..."

Xu Xin frowned again.

But think about it...

The brow quietly disappeared.

As he walked towards Gong Li's car, he asked:
"what happened?"

"Uh……"

Obviously, she had already thought about her speech in her heart, but at this moment when she stood in front of Director Xu, her mind suddenly went blank...

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xu Xin might as well speak first:

"What's in your hand?"

right!

Zhao Liying quickly regained her senses:
"It's cigarettes... I... I bought you a cigarette..."

"..."

Xu Xin paused and turned to look at the plastic bag in the girl's hand.

First of all, it is China.

Looking at the side of the exposed box, it shows a soft bag.

The price of a Zhonghua is more than 600.

But at 600, Xu Xin really didn't pay much attention.

He is used to smoking the cigarettes at home.

But even so, it was enough to make Xu Xin frown.

How much money do you make a day as a small group performer?

Just give me such an expensive thing?
Are you crazy?
Seeing Xu Xin's frown, Zhao Liying panicked and said quickly:

"I... just... see you smoking... I don't understand, I was recommended to buy this... I'm sorry, Director Xu, I just... want to thank you... nothing else... Really... just... ..."

She started talking incoherently.

Obviously, Xu Xin's frowning put a lot of pressure on her.

"..."

Xu Xin didn't speak.

After thinking about it, I took the plastic bag.

But he took out his wallet and took out a wad of money from it.

Zhao Liying was quite happy because he took the cigarette.It can be seen that he took the money and quickly shook his head:
"No, no, director, I didn't mean that..."

Xu Xin ignored her.

After counting seven hundred, he stretched it out in front of her:

"Either the money is taken, or you leave."

"!!"

Zhao Liying's face turned pale instantly.

Obviously, she had foreseen many situations, but this one was not the only one.

And Xu Xin put the money directly into the side pocket of her zippered short sleeve, and said:

"I have something else to do, so don't follow me. I accept this cigarette and give you money, just to tell you that instead of engaging in such useless things, it is better to study your acting skills. If you want to gain a foothold in this industry, you must either work hard at acting, or Play luck, or work hard. Do you understand?...Okay, let's go."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, ignoring the extravagant actor who suddenly started to show his intentions, and accelerated his pace towards Gong Li.

As for the expression of the girl in the back, and when she left, it was not in his mind at all.

……

All the way to the door of the hanging box, he knocked on the door.

Soon, Ding Lili's shadow appeared in the small window next to the trailer.

Then the door was opened.

"Miss Ding."

Xu Xin called out politely, and then asked:

"Where is Teacher Gong in there?"

Ding Lili actually had a good impression of this child.

Smart and quick-witted.

So nodded:
"Come in and talk."

"Hey, thank you, Miss Ding."

After getting in the car and looking on the sofa, he saw Gong Li lying sideways on the single sofa with eyes closed and resting.

Say hello politely:
"Teacher Gong."

"..."

Gong Li opened her eyes, glanced at the black plastic bag in his hand, and said:
"A gift for me?"

"No, it's a gift from a young actor."

Xu Xin smiled and took out the Zhonghua Cigarette inside for Gong Li to see, then put it aside.He explained to himself:

"It's a small trick, I gave some attention, and I insisted on doing this. It also cost me 700 yuan."

Upon hearing this, Gong Li became interested:

"What? Did you give the money to others?"

"Sure, how much do they earn in one play?"

Xu Xin nodded and sat directly on the sofa closest to him.

But when Ding Lili saw that Gong Li didn't say anything after seeing the other party sitting down, she understood the meaning, took out the teapot that she didn't know what it was, and poured Xu Xin a glass of water.

"Maogen water, for dehumidification."

Hearing her explain in person, Xu Xin took it with both hands politely and took a sip.

It's ok, Sweetie.

It smells of sugar cane and corn.

Weird, but not bad.

After thinking about it, he drank it all in one go, and said to Ding Lili:
"Sister Ding, why don't you give me the teapot... I'm really thirsty after running all the way."

Ding Lili nodded.

Just a jug of water.

But Gong Li suddenly smiled.

He smiled and asked:
"What? Did you come to complain to me?"

"No no no."

Xu Xin quickly shook his head:

"How can it be... Director Zhang heard that you are not feeling well, let me come and see you."

After taking the teapot from Ding Lili and pouring himself another glass of water, following these words, Xu Xin said:
"Mr. Gong, how do you feel?"

"..."

Gong Li looked at him intently, then shook her head suddenly:

"Okay, don't mess with those stupid people. You just passed this bottle of toilet water..."

She pointed to the half bottle of Liushen placed on the cabinet next to her, and continued:
"It means that he must have told you, right?...It's okay, he seems to like you quite a bit, I haven't seen him so close to any young man in many years."

"Uh……"

When Xu Xin heard this, he thought about it and nodded first:

"Director Zhang is indeed very kind to me...but you guessed wrong about one thing. About you...Director Zhang didn't mention a word to me. I guessed it myself."

"..."

Gong Li was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly became interested:

"You guessed it?"

Xu Xin responded:
"Well, I guessed it myself."

"Oh?... Tell me."

She pressed the adjustment button on the backrest, and raised the single sofa little by little, no longer the half-lying appearance.

"What have you guessed?"

But Xu Xin asked back:
"If I'm right, Teacher Gong...can you go back? Director Zhang is still waiting for you."

"Then what if you guess wrong?"

"Guess wrong? I'll give you a perfect solution if you guess wrong, okay?"

"..."

Gong Li was taken aback again.

Looking at the young man in front of him...

There was confidence in his eyes.

Incredibly confident.

But without any edge.

Is it hidden?
still is……

After thinking about it, she nodded:

"Okay, then tell me, what have you guessed?"

"The first time I saw you was on the fitting."

"Ah."

"At that time, I felt that although your makeup was noble and glamorous, your eyes were not right...you were angry."

"..."

A hint of surprise flashed in Gong Li's eyes.

After thinking about it, she said:
"and then?"

"I was quite puzzled at the time, and I didn't understand why you were angry."

He chose not to dwell on this aspect:

"Later, we had dinner together at noon, and Mr. Zhang went out for a while. When he came back, his face was a bit ugly... He must have gone to see you, right?"

Gong Li didn't answer.

Xu Xin didn't delve into it, and continued:
"In the afternoon, I found out that Teacher Zhang Weiping had left."

"..."

"I didn't care at the time, I didn't connect these things together. But later...you remember my classmate, right? That girl."

"Ah."

"We were chatting in the house at the time..."

As soon as he said this, suddenly, there was something wrong with the way he looked at Gong Li.

Quickly shake your head...

"Don't get me wrong, it's really chatting, the kind with the door open. Then... Assistant Lin came and took a copy of Jiang Chan's script..."

"...?"

This time, Gong Li showed an unexpected look again.

See Xu Xin nodded:
"Yes, I learned from Assistant Lin that there was something wrong with the original actor Li Man. My classmate was able to get the script because he was on standby as a candidate."

"..."

"Then I was wondering what was going on. In fact, there was another incident in the afternoon of the day when you were trying on the outfit. After Teacher Zhang Weiping disappeared, Director Zhang and I were in the same car, and your car followed us to this side. At that time, Director Zhang suddenly said to Director Cheng: Mr. Zhang Weiping is leaving by plane at night, and a new producer will come. At that time, Director Cheng subconsciously looked back at your car behind. I saw his eyes... …

At that time, I was wondering why Director Zhang wanted to be the one in charge of communication regarding the "two Zhangs".What exactly are you communicating?And why did Director Cheng want to see your car?So, at that time, thinking of your cold expression in the morning, I guessed that you and Mr. Zhang Weiping should have a conflict of ideas. "

Gong Li smiled when she heard the child in front of her use the words "conflict of ideas".

Laughed disdainfully.

Although I understand that people are talking about the best...

Then nod:
"and then?"

"Then Director Zhang brought me to see you today, your words "Where did Jiang Chan go"... for the role of Jiang Chan, because my classmate got the script, I know she is the supporting role throughout the story. And Mr. Gong, you must have heard some rumors, knowing that Jiang Chan's role will be postponed, so you are dissatisfied, but because I am here, it is not easy to get angry with Director Zhang, so you point out Director Zhang, yes Bar?"

"You also know that you are a shield for being pulled?"

Gong Li still didn't give him any affirmative answer, but just asked him a question.

But Xu Xin said with a smile:

"To be pulled by Director Zhang as a shield, no one can ask for it, right?"

"..."

At this point, Gong Li didn't need to listen anymore.

Because she had already heard it, the child had indeed guessed the ins and outs of the whole matter based on some clues.

So he asked directly:

"What's your solution? Get that classmate of yours to come on top?"

"Yes."

Xu Xin nodded:
"You are dissatisfied today, but you are also dissatisfied with the new producer, right?... I guess, he should have asked you to wait for Li Man?"

"……Um."

"can not wait."

"..."

Hearing Xu Xin's words suddenly, the corner of Gong Li's mouth twitched...

I couldn't help but say:
"Xiao Xu...you were pretty safe just now, what are you anxious about now?"

She didn't mean that Xu Xin was anxious to say "can't wait", but that Xu Xin was too anxious to push her classmates to the top.

But Xu Xin shook his head:
"No, I mean you can't wait. Because that Li Man is just a rookie actor... You can wait, that's because your friendship with Director Zhang is here. But if you wait for a long time, that's for you Side...whether it is coffee position or face, it will be damaged."

"..."

Gong Li was taken aback.

"Although this is also good for my classmates, but let me tell you the truth, Mr. Gong, if you wait one more day, you will hurt yourself. And the reason why you said that you are not feeling well tonight is actually because you are concerned about Director Zhang's feelings. Is not it?"

"..."

"The reason why I came here today is that on the one hand, I don't want to embarrass Director Zhang, and his authority cannot be damaged, so I want to invite you over quickly. On the other hand... I was actually thinking...Why did Director Zhang allow me to do that?" Classmates as a backup plan...Mr. Gong, I was just thinking... If this Li Man was chosen by Director Zhang himself, then you might not express your dissatisfaction in this way, right? Because I can see that, In fact, you are especially accommodating to Director Zhang...especially...doting on him, right?"

"..."

Now, a soft change finally appeared in the silent Gong Li's eyes.

"Ugh……"

With a long sigh, she shook her head:

"Even you can see it, why can't he see it?"

"No, Director Zhang saw it, that's why he agreed with my classmate to be a substitute, didn't he? He is actually the most difficult one. Teacher Zhang Weiping is his friend, and you are also... But, you two The relationship between fire and water is incompatible, and he who is caught in the middle is the most uncomfortable."

Xu Xin's tone softened:
"He is in a dilemma and wants to satisfy everyone, so on the one hand, he has found a backup plan for you... This shows that he didn't want to damage your face from the very beginning. After all, it is rumored that you are waiting for a new actor... …This is ugly. He is sincerely defending you. On the other hand, he must also be responsible to Mr. Zhang Weiping, so he showed his sincerity. The crew that invested more than 2 million yuan, the whole crew Waiting for this Li Man to come back. The most difficult... is him."

"..."

Gong Li pursed her lips.

Then suddenly, angrily said:
"Then why didn't he help me!?"

How much grievance, dissatisfaction, all in this sentence.

"Because he is the director, he has to take care of the overall situation."

Xu Xin pretended not to hear anything, and responded:
"Mr. Gong...don't make it difficult for Director Zhang, okay...you go to filming first, and then talk to Director Zhang about it after filming. I'm also in a hurry to let my classmate take over!"

"..."

Gong Li was instinctively speechless.

Because she saw that the kid was joking.

But there seems to be sincerity in the joke.

And...she also understood that the other party was right.

From my point of view, if she continues to be wronged like this, it will be a blessing for her relatives and enemies.

The more wronged she was, the happier Zhang Weiping was.

The hatred between the two cannot be solved.

As for the hatred... She wouldn't tell the child in front of her.

That was her private matter with him.

But it was true that she couldn't continue to wrong herself.Therefore, the sooner Jiang Chan's play starts, the better.

Li Man couldn't come back, because she would be unhappy if she came back.

But the same...

Do you really want to make a fuss?
Let the whole crew see him hanging there?

How much trouble would it cause him if it got out?

Thinking of this, her waist was about to move away from the backrest.

But I'm a little angry...

why...

And the moment she noticed the change in her eyes, Xu Xin suddenly said:

"Mr. Gong, let's go out first. After today's scene, the new producer also came. All the conflicts can be put on the bright side, right? You are the lead actor, and Jay Chou is also the lead actor... the lead actor must be You need to express your demands with the producer. After all, more than [-] million yuan is thrown here, and the crew delays it again and again... That's a problem with money, isn't it?"

"!"

In an instant, Gong Li's eyes lit up:

"Xiao Xu, you and Jay Chou..."

"We know each other quite well."

Xu Xin smiled and nodded:
"good friend."

"..."

Gong Li looked at the smiling young man in front of her...

good friend?
What about a liar?
In the afternoon, when the two of you were talking about the play, it would be a ghost if you could be good friends.

but……

"I'm going to talk to Yimou and Jiang Zhiqiang tonight."

Hearing this, Xu Xin shook his head:

"With me in Prince Jie's scene, the filming should be fast. Director Zhang is also busy with the Olympics."

"……Ah."

Suddenly, Gong Li, who understood his subtext, laughed out loud.

Then he stood up directly and stretched his waist.

"Little Xu..."

"Ah."

"It turns out that the person who won the most is you."

Hearing these nonsensical words, Xu Xin also stood up, smiled and shook his head:
"No, Teacher Gong, I just don't want to embarrass Director Zhang."

"Come on. I'm better."

Gong Li didn't respond, but after hearing this sentence, Xu Xin nodded:
"Hey, then I'll go back and let them prepare."

……

When Xu Xin came back, Zhang Yimou's eyes locked on him instantly.

Xu Xin glanced at Jay Chou, Liu Ye, and Qin Junjie in the camera, and nodded slightly to Zhang Yimou.

"..."

Zhang Yimou showed a rare smile, and put his heart into his stomach.

……

"Let's rest first~ Queen Mother~~~~"

Xu Xin made a long sound, pointed to the script and continued:

"You have to show that kind of helplessness, understand? In this scene, you have to show the three emotions of panic, helplessness, and worry. First, when you see the mother's illness, it is panic. Then it is the helplessness of the mother who insists on embroidering chrysanthemums. , the last thing is to hear her worry about letting you see your brothers first. Don't emphasize your eyes, just keep an eye on your mother, understand? Stare at her..."

When Gong Li finished her makeup and appeared, Xu Xin began to emphasize and emphasize while everyone was setting the scene.

Jay Chou also nodded:
"Well, I understand."

"Do you really understand?"

"Understand!"

Seeing his firm appearance, Xu Xin felt a little relieved.

At this time, he suddenly heard Jay Chou say:
"Is sister Gong Li feeling better?"

"Uh……"

Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, then nodded:
"Ah."

Jay Chou glanced at Gong Li who was looking down at the script, and asked in a low voice:
"She and the director... have conflicts?"

"..."

Now, Xu Xin was really surprised.

"you……"

"That day, at noon on the fitting day, I saw them arguing."

Jay Chou's voice was still very low.

Hearing this, Xu Xin went through all kinds of thoughts in his mind, and said in a low voice:
"It's not with Director Zhang, it's with the producer."

"Uh……"

It can be seen that Jay Chou was quite surprised, but he didn't ask too much:

"Is that so..."

"Ah."

Xu Xin didn't say much, and the filming continued.

……

With Xu Xin here, Jay Chou's play really went much smoother.

A mother-child reunion scene was filmed quite smoothly, and it was done directly in only three steps.

And it's not even 9 o'clock.

After Zhang Yimou checked today's filming footage, he nodded:
"Okay, let's call it a day, everyone."

After giving an order, he waved to Xu Xin:

"Xiao Xu, let's go to the meeting."

"OK, all right."

Xu Xin responded and followed Zhang Yimou out.

The Olympic team is waiting outside in a tent.

But as soon as Zhang Yimou left the palace, he said:
"What did you and Gong Li say?"

"Just advise."

Xu Xin shook his head:
"I said something... what I guessed, such as the relationship between her and Teacher Zhang Weiping is very stiff."

"..."

Zhang Yimou paused.

"I also said that you are caught in the middle."

"..."

"Anyway, in the end, I can persuade you. I roughly mean that as long as Teacher Gong speeds up the progress and film Jiang Chan's scene earlier, Li Man can be withdrawn. If Yang Mi comes to the top, Teacher Zhang Weiping will be ashamed."

"……Um?"

Zhang Yimou blinked, looking at Xu Xin in shock.

Young man, are you still mistaken?
You tell me this?

Did you find the wrong person?
Sober up!
But Xu Xin shook his head:
"Director Zhang, Teacher Gong only agreed to come out tonight because of this. As long as she can shoot, then our crew can operate normally. Anyway, the shooting plan is with you... that's all I can do. If I really can't wait...you can just think about Yang Mi, okay?"

"..."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yimou immediately understood why Xu Xin said to himself "replace Li Man with Yang Mi behind his back".

It doesn't matter whether you change or not.

The important thing is that he gave Gong Li a reason to shoot...

only……

"What will happen to you if Li Man comes back?"

Zhang Yimou thought of the worst possibility and couldn't help asking.

But when Xu Xin heard this, his heart moved...

What does this mean...Could it be that Director Zhang has...

After thinking about it, he didn't ask, but just shook his head:
"At worst, go home and inherit the family business, and become a coal boss."

"..."

The corner of Zhang Yimou's mouth twitched...

Immediately there came an annoyed sentence:
"Zoumu is promising!"

Vernacular: There is no future!

Hearing this, Xu Xin chuckled:
"Then what should I do~"

"……Ugh!"

Zhang Yimou sighed and shook his head:
"Let's go, let's have a meeting."

"Okay~"
