I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 120 118. Integrate closely with the masses and stand together!

   "Dad! What are you doing? Standing on the stairs, I can smell the fragrance!"

  As the door opened, Yang Dalin's smile turned into a bright flower when he heard what his daughter said.

   "I'm back, girl~! Go wash your hands, braised pork and fried fish tonight!"

   "Oh, I said, why is it so fragrant."

  After hearing this, Yang Mi hurried to the bathroom.

  But after walking a few steps, I heard a sound coming from outside:

   "Daughter, do you have any dirty clothes? Mom will wash them for you..."

   While speaking, Yang Chunling walked into the bathroom and said quietly:

   "Did you buy two bags of bean curd yesterday?"

   "..."

  Yang Mi's heart skipped a beat.

   Blinked subconsciously...Looking at my mother...

   "How do you know?"

  Unexpectedly, Yang Chunling didn't say much at all, she just whispered:

   "Your dad said it, I will think about how to answer it later."

   After finishing speaking, he walked out.

   "Wow, la la la..."

  The faucet in front of the girl is wrapped with gauze specially used to filter the impurities in the water pipe, so the water flow seems sparse.

  Her eyes just stared straight at the faucet outlet.

   Inside is a brainstorm that spins rapidly.

   A moment.

  She turned on the faucet and took a deep breath at herself in the mirror...

   "Huh~!"

   Then, he walked out with his usual expression.

  The dishes and chopsticks have been set on the table, the braised pork and fish pieces have been cooked, and there is also a plate of tomato scrambled eggs. And a pot of cabbage soup.

  In the kitchen, Yang Dalin is frying the last vegetable.

   Soon, a plate of stir-fried water spinach was served, Yang Dalin turned around and took a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, and said to Yang Mi:

   "Daughter, can I have a drink with Dad?"

  Unexpectedly, the girl just shook her head:

   "Don't drink. Teacher Yu doesn't let me drink... It doesn't mean that I don't want to drink, but I can't drink, so I don't drink."

   "...Who is Teacher Yu?"

  Yang Dalin was taken aback.

   But after hearing that her daughter was not drinking, she only took a small wine cup.

   "Dad, have you watched "Heroes of the Yellow River"?"

   "Hey, this movie is quite old."

  As soon as he heard the name, Yang Dalin had obviously seen it before, so he nodded:

   "Ma Yi, the hero of the Yellow River, that movie is very good. What's wrong?"

   "Then do you know who the actor is?"

   “…don’t really remember.”

"The actor is called Yu Chenghui, who is our country... no, the internationally recognized two-handed sword master. And this time in the crew, he played the role of Dongxihuang Yaoshi. I have always wanted to learn Kung Fu, and Teacher Yu also likes me very much. , Let me learn from him when I come back this time. Didn’t I go out early in the morning the day before yesterday, or go to Teacher Yu’s. Teacher Yu taught me to stand upright, and also taught me some Xingyi boxing routines. I also learned half-step Bengquan. Then Teacher Yu said that it is best for young people not to drink alcohol, it is easy to be hollowed out and ruin the foundation, especially girls..."

   "..."

   "..."

   Let alone Yang Dalin, even Yang Chunling was stunned.

  Yang Dalin asked instinctively:

   "The morning before yesterday...you went...to the teacher's place?"

"Yes."

  The girl with a piece of fat and thin braised pork, and a piece of fried fish just now had shiny lips.

   Seriously:

"I have to go tomorrow. Teacher Yu also said that if I can really continue to learn, he will introduce me to a master of Baguazhang. He said that Baguazhang is like a butterfly turning over a flower. It is very beautiful and suitable for filming. Then... Mom, we have to buy some gifts later, suitable for teachers, not too expensive, but we have to prove that we put our heart into it..."

   "Uh... good."

  Yang Chunling suddenly couldn't figure out whether her daughter's words were true or false.

real or fake?

  She doesn't understand...

   And Yang Dalin really did not expect such a person to exist.

  However, professional instinct made him say:

   "Call me to see..."

   "Lao Yang!"

  Yang Chunling was speechless:

   "The child is eating! Say no after eating?"

   "Oh yeah..."

  Yang Dalin reacted:

   "Eat, eat."

  He seemed to let out a big sigh of relief, then raised his head, and drank a glass of wine completely.

   Then he let out a flattering sigh:

   "Ha~~"

   "Dad, I want to learn a driver's license. For my salary this time, I want to buy a small car worth about 100,000 yuan. It will be convenient to go anywhere in the future. It is quite far from the teacher's house."

  Yang Mi strikes while the iron is hot.

   But this time, Yang Dalin did not refuse, nodded:

   "Go to your Uncle Sun's driving school. I'll get you a book for subject one tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Don't rush to buy the car first. Take the car at home to practice first. I'll buy it for you when you're familiar with it."

"Uh-huh!"

  The family of three began to eat.

  After eating a meal, Yang Mi's stomach bulged, but she couldn't hold back her father's curiosity, so she stood in the living room and gave half a routine of Xingyiquan.

   Not to mention, although the force may be wrong, I can't see any kung fu.

  But this routine, as well as the daughter's... Although the movement is strange, but it looks like a decent half-step Beng Fist, the smile on Yang Dalin's face became more natural.

   After sitting for a while, the family of three went out together.

  Yang Dalin went for a walk.

  Yang Mi took her mother to the supermarket on an electric scooter.

  Choose a gift for Teacher Yu.

   Arrived at the place and parked the electric car.

  The girl took her mother's arm after getting out of the car.

  While walking up the steps of the supermarket, Yang Chunling couldn't stand still and fell down the steps...

   "Mom, I'm talking about a boyfriend."

   "..."

  Yang Chunling trembled, and Yang Mi quickly helped her up.

   After taking a few breaths, she asked speechlessly:

"When did this happen?"

   "Just filming this time."

   "... Looking for someone from the crew?"

   "No, my classmate."

   "In the same class?"

   "Yes, the birthday is more than a month older than mine."

   "Isn't that the same age?"

   "That's right, it's from the Department of Directing. We've had a good chat since school... and we hit it off. He confessed his love to me, and I agreed."

   "..."

  Yang Chunling had no reason, and she felt a little complicated.

  Although she knew that her daughter would have this day sooner or later, she was still a little... strangely sad.

   Patted the girl who was holding her hand, and said:

   "When I was a student, I still focused on my studies... You can't delay your studies, you know?"

   "I know this..."

  The girl nodded, and the two walked to the shopping cart. Yang Mi let go of her mother's arm, pushed the shopping cart and continued:

   "He is tall, 1.85 meters, and he looks like 1.87 or 88 meters in shoes."

   "Do you have a picture?"

"have!"

  The girl took out her mobile phone, and after searching a bit, she found the photo of the two of them in the Shanghe Garden in Hengdian.

  Yang Chunling squinted her eyes, moved her phone away, looked at the photo on the screen and said:

"Not to mention, it looks quite pleasing to the eye. You young people, it's best to have this kind of hair. Don't just get that long hair, and you have to style it... I just like this kind of hair. Boy, look It’s also very energetic… Where are you from?”

   "Shaanxi."

"Well…"

  Yang Chunling's face was a little stiff.

   "...Neither your father nor I want you to marry far away..."

   "Oh, Mom~"

  Yang Mi looked a little speechless:

   "That's where it is. I just show you him... It's too early to talk about marriage."

"…All right."

  Hearing what her daughter said, she felt a little self-deceiving, so she didn't continue the chat.

   Indeed, it's just boyfriend and girlfriend... Now it's different from the past. In the past, dating other people without getting married was equivalent to playing hooligans. But now that the times are open, it is not uncommon for young people to talk about friends and break up.

   And she was okay looking at the kid.

   Very pleasing to the eye.

   Then he said:

   "If you stay with friends and stay with friends, you still can't delay your studies, you know? Especially if you are an actor... You should pay more attention to this aspect. You can't delay your studies just because you are in love, and you can't do anything wrong outside to learn bad things..."

   "Hmm~"

  Yang Mi has heard these words in her ears several times since she was a child, and she is obviously used to it.

   And there is only one reason why she told her mother about it today...

   "I think my dad looks like a prisoner. Mom, I have to help your precious girl cover in the future! Otherwise, I'm really afraid that my dad will beat the mandarin duck~~~~"

  Yang Chunling glanced at her angrily:

   "Mom already knows, it's definitely not good for you to find me!"

   "Hey hey~"

  The girl didn't even push the car, and hugged her mother's arm tightly again.

  Until I was pushed away impatiently by my mother:

   "Got it, it's so hot, hurry up and go home."

  …

  Xu Xin actually misses his girlfriend a lot.

  Anyone who has ever been in a relationship knows that the first time a couple is in love, it is the time when they are inseparable.

   Wishing they could stick together every minute and every second, and never separate.

  One day apart is like ten years.

  When I was in Hengdian, because everyone was often together, even if the crew was gone, we could see each other in the hotel, so this feeling was not strong.

  But now he can't see each other for two or three days, so he really panics.

  But I want to go back.

Can…

  The interests of the motherland are above all else.

  This Saturday and Sunday in the creative group is like a two-day adaptation period.

   Two days passed.

  The opening ceremony team ushered in the first large-scale external meeting.

   Symposium on "The Opening Ceremony of the Yanjing Olympic Games I Expect".

  Led by the Olympic Organizing Committee, representatives from all walks of life in Yanjing came with their ideas and suggestions to provide suggestions for the opening ceremony team.

   This should be the first meeting after the establishment of the Olympic team to allow the release of video materials. In addition to the organizing committee's instruction, Zhang Yimou attaches great importance to it.

  A total of ten people were selected to attend the meeting.

  Xu Xin was among them.

  In fact, Xu Xin felt that he should not be qualified to attend this kind of meeting, but for some reason, Director Zhang just chose him.

   No, early in the morning, according to Director Zhang's request, Xu Xin took out his suit that he wore only once.

   This suit was custom-made for Xu Miao by his sister-in-law in England before his marriage.

   It is said that this set is worth hundreds of thousands.

  I wore it only once, for Xu Miao to receive her relatives, and then Xu Xin felt that the dress was too formal, so she didn't wear it again.

   Today, Director Zhang asked to wear formal clothes, so Xu Xin had to wear them.

  Xu Xin didn't understand the material.

   I don’t know what double-breasted and single-breasted clothes are, and I can’t even tell the difference between Italian style and British style.

   But at least his sister-in-law taught him how to wear it.

  For example, there is only one button on a suit, and for example, dark socks must be worn...

   It is said that this thing pays a lot of attention.

  But why...Xu Xin really doesn't understand the rest.

   Even his tie is very unfamiliar, and he learned it from a tutorial he found on the Internet overnight.

  I originally wanted to tie a bow tie, but I searched on Baidu and said that a bow tie is not for this kind of occasion...

   Anyway, it is very troublesome.

   But after this trouble, he looked at himself in the mirror, showing a satisfied look.

  From suits to ties, to leather shoes and watches...Recently, I have developed my shoulders due to fitness.

  Hey, who sees that we can't boast about a handsome young man from ten miles and eight villages?

  Full of pride, he took a photo, sent it to his girlfriend by MMS, and drove directly to Qinglan Building.

  The car stopped downstairs, and before they went upstairs, they saw Zhang Wu and others standing at the door.

  Xu Xin got out of the car quickly.

   And Zhang Wu, who had seen his Audi a long time ago, got off Xu Xin's car, his eyes lit up:

   "Xiao Xu, it's ok. This looks good."

"…hey-hey."

  Xu Xin greeted with a smile, then locked his eyes on Zhang Wu's military uniform, and said:

   "You are still handsome..."

  It's good that he didn't mention it, but Zhang Wu felt a little regretful when he mentioned it.

  What a seedling.

  Take two years of training in the army, and it will definitely be great in the future.

pity…

   But in his heart, he also admits...Xiao Xu has a good vision.

  The clothes you wear are the ultimate romance for a man.

  Xu Xin started to give way to smoke, and after a circle, he walked to Zhang Wu's side:

   "Director Zhang... Is there any leader here today? Are we all waiting here?"

"Um."

  Zhang Wu nodded:

"The big leader will come in a while, and behave better, be more down-to-earth, and steady, you know? Your design plan will be out in a week at most. You must talk about this in a while, and behave modestly. Even if you want to laugh, you can You are laughing until there is no one else. In front of the leader, you must be humble!"

  Although Xu Xin understands this truth, he also understands that Director Zhang said this to himself, on the one hand, he appreciates it...otherwise, there is no need for others to talk about it with you. On the other hand, there is also worry.

   Then he responded with a smile:

   "Just don't worry, I know what to do."

"Well. That's fine. Go ahead, stand on the side, think about what the leader may ask you for a while, and figure out how to answer it. When the leader comes, you stand back and wait until everyone else has finished shaking hands. Finally getting past it."

   "Hey, come on."

  Xu Xin knew that Director Zhang was teaching him sincerely, so he stood back honestly and began to think about the questions that the big leader would ask himself according to the other party.

   Waited for about half an hour.

  The leader didn't come, and Director Zhang didn't come, but some people in the same suits and shoes gradually gathered in the Qinglan Building.

   Some of them look more fashionable, such as a pattern on the shirt or something. But most people are in suits, shirts... it's a bit hot to be honest.

  Xu Xin took a look, then turned to Chen Weiya beside him and asked in a low voice:

   "Director Chen, are those representatives of the masses?"

"right."

   Chen Weiya is fat, and he looks hot enough in a suit.

   After acknowledging it, he gulped down half a bottle of ice water, which made him feel more comfortable.

   At the same time, he did not forget to say:

   "You stand aside for a while, you understand?"

   "I know, Director Chen, Director Zhang said it just now."

   "Well. Then some representatives of the masses may say something... in our opinion is very layman's words. Don't refute, don't deny it, just come here today and listen with your ears. Control your expressions."

"clear!"

  Although Xu Xin feels that these big directors treat themselves like children.

  In total, how I do things is not so unreliable, right?

   But as long as they said something, Xu Xin would nod.

   Mainly to reassure them.

   Then, a row of cars finally drove into the gate of Qinglan Building under the "all eyes".

   Headed by two commercial vehicles.

  As soon as the commercial vehicle came to a stop, a photographer carrying a camera came down and pointed at the vehicle behind.

  Xu Xin stood up straight.

   And everyone quickly separated into two rows.

   Then a very low-key Audi drove up to the main entrance.

  The door opens.

  Seeing the person who came out, Xu Xin's expression froze.

  Director Zhang and the big leaders of the Olympic Organizing Committee get out of the car together...

   Then a group of people surrounded it.

   Say hello and shake hands.

   According to Director Zhang’s instructions, Xu Xin followed behind the crowd, watching the big leader smiling and shaking hands with everyone, including the representatives of the masses, and saying hello, very kindly.

   And finally, he leaned forward:

   "Good leadership."

  The big leader didn't seem to know him, but at this moment, Zhang Yimou said:

   "The leader, he is Xu Xin."

"…oh?"

  The big leader focused his eyes on Xu Xin.

  Looked up and down, and suddenly patted him kindly on the shoulder:

   "The young man's plan is very good, keep working hard."

   "..."

   Let alone.

  Just now, Xu Xin felt that he could definitely hold back.

  But because of this sentence, when he thought that his plan had already entered the top three, and was just one step away from being selected...his blood rushed to his forehead.

   My face turned red!

   "Thank you... Thank you, leader!"

  He tried hard not to stutter.

  But still can't help but tell the truth from the bottom of my heart:

  “We must not work hard to live up to the expectations of the country and the people!”

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

   This sick sentence stunned everyone around.

   Immediately afterwards... the somewhat dazed leader suddenly smiled more naturally:

   "Haha, young man~ Don't be nervous. Work hard!"

  Zhang Yimou couldn't laugh or cry...

  This kid...

  Xu Xin was about to cry too...

  How did this word come out of your own mouth?

  …

   Entering the air-conditioned room, facing the seven or eight cameras in the room, Xu Xin calmed down.

  Sitting on the side obediently, unfolding a notepad in his hand to prepare for recording.

  After some enthusiastic speeches by the leaders, the first representative of the masses glanced at the manuscript in his hand nervously, and said into the microphone:

   "First of all, I would like to thank the Olympic Organizing Committee..."

   There is no need to mention the polite words, but the idea of ​​the first representative of the masses made Xu Xin a little speechless:

"Leaders, I have an idea about the five Olympic rings. Make five big hoops, as tall as a person, and make them the color of the Olympic five rings. Then when the five rings appear, push them over and assemble them into a Five Rings... This is inspired by the game of rolling hoops we played when we were young. I think this can represent a kind of time culture in Yanjing..."

  Unconsciously, Xu Xin asked a rhetorical question in his heart:

   "The bottom two circles are fine, what about the top three circles?"

  And the words of the first representative of the masses seem to have opened a somewhat absurd beginning.

  What diabolo items can be used.

  What Tianqiao Hutong culture, a whole group of actors dressed in the clothes of old artists from the Republic of China went up to perform it.

   There is one more amazing.

  This estimate should be someone with some status or within the system.

   When speaking, I like to hold a pen as a pointer. The first sentence at the beginning is:

   "I think we can use our Yanjing's Qingming River Scene culture to interpret the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games..."

  If it is said that what the previous representatives talked about is absurd, but there is still some reference.

   This one was so good that Xu Xin was amused.

  When did Qingming Riverside Picture become Yanjing culture...

  People in Kaifeng should not cry when they know about this?

   Of course, this is also a joke.

   is actually the keynote of this meeting.

  The atmosphere of the whole symposium was not very serious, on the contrary, there were bursts of laughter.

  Everyone can feel it from the words of these representatives of the masses... They are really working very hard and want to contribute their own strength.

  Every suggestion and reference may seem absurd at first glance, but in fact it is really thoughtful. And the meaning of wanting to be a big leader is not to ask everyone to refer to their opinions, or to expand their thinking. In Xu Xin's opinion, it is actually more like "listening to the voice of the masses".

  You want to hear everyone's voice, let you know what everyone is thinking. What do you need.

   It is true that the Olympic Games is a grand event for all mankind, but this opening ceremony should belong to us Chinese people!

   You must never be divorced from the masses, you must stand firmly with the masses, and you must act as a representative of the masses to express their long-cherished wishes for the audience!

  Most of these people are not engaged in the art industry, but this does not prevent them from imagining the Olympics, and all they do is to try to show the heritage of their own culture to foreigners.

   To put it bluntly, I was just holding back my breath.

  Even a representative of the masses took a picture of the table on the spot:

   "We must not let these foreigners underestimate us!"

   These words are eloquent.

  At the same time, representatives of the crowd in the room all nodded in unison, obviously what they said reached their hearts.

   It's a pity... No need to think about it, Xu Xin can guess it.

  His words will definitely not be included in today's photo editing.

  After all...the world is friendly and harmonious.

   But from his words, all members of the creative team gradually understood the most sincere, persistent and unshakable voice of these representatives of the masses:

   "Let the world know us again!"

  The people of the Celestial Dynasty have squeezed this breath for decades.

   Need to spit it out too much!

   I got the daily 4D badge, hahaha~ everyone, ask for a monthly pass! It's the end of the month, can you give me tickets~ I am very grateful!
