I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 123 121. A brand new day

   Rolls-Royce isolated Xu Miao's almost screaming question.

   And Xu Daqiang's hands trembled even more.

   "Three golds! My dad's hands are shaking, so he dare not joke! You...spread!???"

   "Hoo..."

  There was a rough breathing sound from the other end of the phone, and then the younger brother's voice sounded again:

"Brother, I'm not kidding. Just now, I just received news from director Zhang Yimou. Although it hasn't been announced yet, but... the leader, you know? The leader has been confirmed. No. 237 is your design! It was selected The Olympic torch production plan!"

   "..."

   "..."

  The two people in the car were sweating at the same time.

   I don't know if it's hot or something else.

  Xu Miao fumbled for a cigarette, but Xu Daqiang took it away as soon as he took it out:

   "Smoke a cigarette! Keep it a secret! What if someone hears you when you open the window!?"

  The man stared angrily, as if he was very dissatisfied with the elder son's lack of confidentiality.

  Xu Miao nodded first, but immediately grabbed Dad's hand, pointed at the phone and asked hurriedly:

  "Are you sure? Didn't lie?...How did you get selected...Ouch!"

   Clutching the back of her head, Xu Miao looked bewildered.

  Xu Daqiang hit it hard this time.

   But on the face is a defense of the younger son:

   "How did Sa Ming get selected? Brother Ni, Huahua is good, you don't know!?"

   "No..."

  Obviously 28, but Xu Miao's face is full of grievances:

   "I don't believe it..."

   "Why don't you believe in the country's affairs! The country can still cheat three gold!?"

  Hearing this, Xu Miao felt even more aggrieved:

   "What if it's a scam call? Sanjin doesn't know Zhang Yimou!"

   "Fart! Who doesn't know Zhang Yimou from the Celestial Dynasty! Sanjin Weisa can't know him!"

   "...that Zhang Yimou doesn't know Sanjin either!"

   "..."

  Xu Daqiang was taken aback...

  What the eldest son said... seems to make sense.

   But before I had time to think about it, I heard Xu Xin on the other end of the phone say:

"Brother, I know Zhang Yimou, and so does Director Zhang. Now I'm in the Olympic creative team! In March, I came in. In April, I went to Hengdian with Director Zhang and the others to shoot "The Golden Armor in the City". I just came back at the beginning of the month! Now it looks like a full-time employee of the country, with more than 6,000 yuan a month!"

   "...?"

   "???"

  As soon as these words came out, Xu Daqiang and Xu Miao were dumbfounded.

   It doesn’t matter if it’s more than 6,000…

mainly…

   "Why does it look like this? Sanjin... my dad's hands are a little trembling... you... speak slowly... make it clear..."

  Hearing Xu Miao's words, Xu Xin took a deep breath:

   "Huh... well, it's like this..."

  …

  The rear glass of the Rolls-Royce dropped a crack.

   Not big.

   Two widths.

  Among Xu Miao's face full of resentment, Xu Daqiang, who had just said something about keeping it secret, lit a cigarette and puffed it out.

  Xu Miao wanted to do the same thing, but Xu Daqiang, who was holding the phone, gave him a look of "Don't you dare to leak the secret" eyes, and the rear window on the other side didn't dare to open.

  Two big chimneys started to blow out from a gap in a glass window.

   On the phone, it was Xu Xin's unhurried voice, telling the whole story, its cause and effect.

   After smoking a cigarette, the mood of the father and son finally gradually settled down following the words of the son (brother):

"Then, I've been waiting for the past few days, oops... It's very hard! But it finally came out today. Director Zhang personally called and informed. But this matter should be kept secret, because it's just a decision, but it hasn't been released yet. Announce it to the outside world. Dad, you and my brother can’t say it to the outside world. You have to wait until the country holds a press conference and it’s announced. Moreover, the designer is just the director team for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games, but there will be no specific signature The specific signature will be announced later..."

   "That's because of Sarah!?"

   Xu Miao couldn't help but interrupted his younger brother:

   "Why did you drop your name?"

   "Because I don't want to receive so much attention. Besides, I didn't talk to Ni just now. From the perspective of the overall situation, Director Zhang means... I think it seems that the leader likes it and there are not so many right and wrong people..."

  Before Xu Xin finished speaking, Xu Daqiang became impatient and looked at his eldest son:

   "Ah, what do you care about Sanjin! He has his own ideas, you are so capable, why don't you design a torch!"

   "No...it's not..."

  Xu Miao was speechless.

  I'm fighting for our three golds, okay?

   Such a great opportunity to make a name for yourself...

   "Okay, okay, don't talk..."

  Waved his hand at the eldest son in disgust, Xu Daqiang, who finally calmed down, said directly:

   "Son~~~ Are you in Yanjing now?"

  That voice should be loved as much as possible.

"here I am."

   "Okay, let's go there in the afternoon and bring Sanshui with us. Do you want to eat something? Goat? Or something? Dad will buy it for you!"

   "Uh... just bring a sheep."

   "Okay! Then hang up first."

"Uh-huh!"

"…Sanjin."

"ah?"

  In Xu Miao's eyes, Dad said softly to the phone in an unprecedentedly gratifying tone:

   "Do it well! Bring glory to the country!"

"…Um!"

  …

  The phone hangs up.

   Now, Xu Miao was finally able to lower the window.

"dad…"

  Xu Daqiang waved his hands silently, not letting his son continue talking.

   Just handed the cigarette case to his son.

  The father and son started smoking silently.

  After finishing the cigarette, Xu Daqiang immediately raised the window.

   After both windows were raised, he opened his mouth and said:

   "The groom will have to toast in a while, so be careful, and don't steal the limelight from the Ge Lao San's family today."

   "Uh... good."

  Xu Miao nodded.

   "Call Qianqian and ask her to go directly to Dongsheng to get two sheep."

   "Okay. Do you want to bring some gifts..."

"don't want."

  Xu Daqiang shook his head directly:

   "Cultural people are not interested in this thing, so go and see first... Sanjin should be able to handle these relationships well... let's go first."

"Um!"

   "Don't talk about it in the village. Tell Qianqian, let Sanjin talk about it."

   "Okay... Do you want to bring Aunt Xue?"

   "Why take her? Let the family drive over to pick her up. Let's go directly to Dongsheng after dinner and let her go back."

"good."

"well…"

  Suddenly, Xu Daqiang let out a long sigh.

unknown reason.

  He didn't speak, and opened the car door directly:

   "Let's go, go to dinner."

"Um!"

  Father and son got out of the car together and walked a few steps. Xu Miao couldn't help saying:

   "Dad, San Jin has grown up..."

   What greeted us was father's slightly warning eyes...

  Xu Miao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded embarrassingly:

"Uh-huh."

  …

   After finishing the phone call, Xu Xin came out of the office.

  He didn't inform his girlfriend.

   But she probably doesn't know yet.

   Otherwise, even if I didn't call, the text message would have been sent long ago.

   If you don't know...you don't know.

  Let’s talk about it at night, otherwise it will easily affect the shooting status during the day.

  Walking on the way back, Xu Xin felt that his steps were a little wandering for no reason.

   The world has never been better.

real…

Wonderful.

  …

  The meal originally planned to be eaten at night was changed to noon.

   And I didn’t choose a restaurant, I just ate at a Sichuan restaurant next to Qinglan Building.

   Let Xu Xin celebrate.

   It is also a celebration for the team to make a good start.

   Now, even Wei Lanfang, the negotiator in charge of coordinating various departments, drank a couple of drinks...

  You just think how happy these people are.

  But it’s true that there are only one person, two taels, and I didn’t drink much.

   After all, I have to work in the afternoon.

   Originally, this drink could be put in the evening, but who told Xu Xin that his family would come over at night.

   Anyway, this matter is finally settled.

   Xu Xin, who drank two or two drinks, was immediately drunk.

  In the afternoon, I simply lay down on the sofa in the director's office and slept all afternoon.

   And woke up, and it was time to get off work.

  Xu Xin accidentally saw the family members of many people.

   It was all caused by the drink at noon, and one by one came to pick up people at night.

  Xu Xin didn't drive either, so he took a taxi and walked home.

   After falling asleep, he not only sobered up, but also made his heart feel more at ease.

   Originally, he thought that he could accept this matter very "calmly". After all, I drank the wine and announced the good news, so I continued to devote myself to the work of creative design, trying to make the opening and closing ceremonies, which had a good start, perfect.

  After taking the first step perfectly, you should continue to move forward with a humble heart.

   It should be like this.

  But when he returned home and saw the commercial vehicle parked in front of his house...

   In a daze, he seemed to be back in the third grade of elementary school.

  In the third grade of elementary school, he scored 100 points in Chinese and mathematics for the first time. When he walked to the door with two papers with "100" painted in bright red, he thought he would never taste the feeling of can't wait in his life.

   I didn’t expect that... that kind of touch and expectation will come back again.

   He couldn't help shouting at the door with the highest pitched volume:

   "Dad! Brother! Come back!"

   After finishing speaking, he pushed open the door and saw Xu Daqiang wearing an apron walking out of the kitchen happily with a cigarette in his mouth:

   "Neediba!"

   "...hehehehehe."

  The smile on Xu Xin's face could no longer be contained.

  The familiar smell of mutton wafted from the kitchen, and Xu Miao and Zhang Qianqian trotted out to meet him in the living room.

  Xu Xin's original intention was to give Dad a hug.

  But who knew that Zhang Qianqian and Xu Miao could run faster than anyone else:

   "Three Golds! Hahahahaha!"

   Being hugged by his brother and sister-in-law, Xu Xin subconsciously looked at his father.

   But Xu Daqiang said:

   "Ah, don't hug me now, wash your hands, Dad made you sour soup and egg noodles~ If you have anything to say, talk slowly at the dinner table."

  Dad didn't give him a hug.

   But this time there is no need to give.

  After Xu Miao and Zhang Qianqian let go, Xu Xin walked up to Xu Daqiang and hugged him:

   "Dad, hehehe~"

"…Hey Hey."

  Hold in his arms by his son, Xu Daqiang smiled and patted his son on the back:

   "Good job, three golds, good job!"

  …

"Sister-in-law, look, this is a group photo of me and Teacher Gong Li... This is Fa Ge's...Here, this was taken when I was eating barbecue with Jay Chou...Dad, look, isn't this armor beautiful? It's pure gold! One piece costs over one hundred thousand!...The chrysanthemums are all laid out on the spot, and two or three thousand people fight against each other in the play..."

  Xu Xin showed his family one after another the photos taken in the film crew.

   Then flipping through, suddenly, the selfie he and Yang Mi took together in the crew appeared in Xu Daqiang's eyes...

   "Eh? This woman..."

  Xu Xin slid over directly:

   "Dad, this one, look at this palace, how luxurious it is..."

   "..."

  Xu Daqiang blinked...

   just pretended not to know.

   He just picked up the Moutai bottle and poured himself a glass of wine.

  My baby doesn’t want to talk, so don’t ask.

   Just like that, the family listened to Xu Xin talking about the Olympics from the film crew, from Qinglan Building to the Olympic Building, and from Zhang Yimou to Yu Zhen...

  While listening, Xu Daqiang secretly nodded in his heart.

  Baby, this is meeting a nobleman.

  The wine has three rounds, and the food has five flavors.

  Actually, the family did not talk about anything.

  The whole family can get together in Yanjing, to put it bluntly, it is to make Xu Xin happy.

   But Xu Daqiang and Xu Miao don't understand anything about the film and television industry. However, after Xu Xin chatted about Guangzong Yaozu, Xu Daqiang nodded directly:

   "When Rang talks about it, Dad will go to the village chief to talk about it. Hehe~"

  Holding the wine glass, he gave another satisfied smile:

   "This year, it's been so comfortable."

   "Hey~"

  Xu Xin responded, got up and went to the bathroom.

   And as soon as he entered the bathroom, the phone on the table lit up.

  Xu Daqiang was stunned when he saw the caller.

   "Master Lin Chen of Changsu"???

  Which fairy is this?

   "San Jin, someone called... this... Master Lan Chen from Changsu is calling you~"

  Should I say it or not, sometimes father and son do look alike.

   When Xu Xin heard this, he quickly pulled up his pants again. After walking out of the bathroom and holding the phone, he ran over there again.

   Seeing his son's strange behavior, Xu Daqiang was a little confused.

   But I didn't think too much about it.

  Happy today, don't worry about the young master...even if the king of heaven is here, he can't stop his determination to drink this glass of wine.

  He picked up the wine cup happily, and after drinking it down, he let out a satisfied sigh:

   "Ha~"

  …

   "Hey, brother, how are you doing? Is there any news today?"

   The girlfriend on the other end of the phone has a routine.

   In fact, after so many days, she was used to it, and she didn't have any hope.

  Until...she heard Xu Xin say:

   "Yes, it's confirmed, I won."

   "Oh, it's all right...huh?"

  The girl who subconsciously agreed was suddenly taken aback.

   Then, the voice began to tremble:

   "What did you... what did you just say?"

   "I said, my proposal...was adopted. It was the Olympic Games..."

"ah!!!"

  A girl's scream sounded on the other end of the phone.

  If she wasn't in the hotel room right now, someone might have called the police.

   But this voice is scary enough.

   Fortunately, there is no one in the hotel corridor at the moment, so there will be no trouble.

   And the girl screams, cheers, and laughs on the phone:

   "Hahahahaha!"

   "Yahoo!!"

"ah!!"

   "I got it! I got it! Hahahahahaha!!"

   "Win!!"

   "Oh class~ oh class oh class oh class~~~~"

  Hearing this ecstatic voice, a smile of joy from the heart appeared on Xu Xin's face.

   But as the saying goes, a smile lasts only three seconds...

   "Plop...Ouch! Oops...Hiss...Ouch..."

"…What happened to you?"

  Xu Xin was in a hurry, and his voice was a little loud.

  Xu Miao and Zhang Qianqian, who were sitting in the courtyard drinking and eating, turned their heads instinctively...

   "My little toe hit the corner of the bed... oops... hiss... it hurts me... ha ha ha ha... win! win!!"

   There was still a scream of pain in the front, but later it turned into ecstasy like crazy girls.

  Xu Xin felt relieved.

   Then whispered:

   "I won't talk too much with you tonight, my father, my brother and my sister-in-law are still outside, can you wait for me to send you a message?"

   "Huh? Uncle Xu is here?...uh..."

  Although she felt very sad, the girl still responded sensiblely:

   "Yeah, okay... I just happen to digest it by myself for a while. Hehehehehe... Brother... Wait for me to go back~"

  Xu Xin felt hot again...

   responded:

   "Well, then I'll hang up first."

  The phone hung up, and he walked out with a normal expression.

  Xu Miao said a little puzzled:

   "What happened just now?"

  Xu Xin shook his head:

   "It's like that. Brother...how are you doing?"

"real estate?"

"Um."

"It's about the same, and the construction qualifications have also been found. My father and uncle and uncle have talked about it, and everyone is going to form a joint venture. I plan to go to Xi'an to pick up two real estate projects, and the company's capital chain for several projects there is broken. , even the second and third phases of land are sold together, your Uncle Zhang said..."

   Pointing to Zhang Qianqian:

   "The potential is not small, and it is not expensive to add. First solve the people's livelihood, build word-of-mouth, and at the same time get it out."

"Um."

  Xu Xin just responded, and then heard Xu Daqiang say:

   "Sanjin, don't worry about these things."

"…ah?"

  Xu Xin was taken aback.

   I saw my father looking at him seriously:

"Whether it's real estate or family business, that's the icing on the cake~ Your responsibility is even heavier now. What happens to Sanshui is his business. You just need to get the Olympics done. Be down-to-earth first. Doing a good job at the Olympics and not disappointing everyone’s expectations for the Olympics is better than making money or not. Got it?”

"Understand."

  Xu Xin responded.

  Dad is right, it is true to get the Olympics right first.

but…

   Actually, that’s what I said, but in fact…

  Although he also admitted that since Director Zhang left, he has not been very focused, mainly because he was a little confused by the torch.

   But one thing must and must be said.

  That is... In fact, only the place where Director Zhang is present is called the Olympic creative team.

  As soon as Director Zhang left, he really responded to the saying in "A World Without Thieves", which means that people's hearts are scattered and it is difficult to lead the team.

  Of course, this is just an exaggeration.

  But probably the meaning is the same.

  Director Zhang is here, everything is normal. But director Zhang left this time, still bringing the absolute core creative team members with him. And most of those who stay are executors.

  The director assigns tasks, whether it is making a plan, searching for information or something, the director's office in Qinglan Building is mainly responsible for execution.

  The entire Olympic Games is still in the core creative stage, and the people in the executive team are really free.

   In the past few days, Xu Xin can feel it.

  As long as the plan is not implemented, almost everyone in the implementation team will "fish".

  So, it really doesn’t work if Director Zhang isn’t here.

   There is a very essential difference.

  But these words can’t be said to Dad, Dad’s heart is actually the same as that of the big guy. Regardless of creativity or execution, as long as you are in the "unit", you are contributing to the country...

   Very simple idea.

   It's pretty cute.

  Xu Xinxin said...

  …

  After a meal, all the rooms in the courtyard were full for the first time.

  There are only three bedrooms in total, one for Xu Xin, one for Xu Daqiang, and one for Xu Miao and his wife.

  During dinner, Xu Xin asked Dad how many days he would be staying here, but the answer he got was that he would leave tomorrow.

  I came today to cheer up Xu Xin.

  Whether it is joy or longing, as a father, when the son has to face some things, he must be by his side.

  But you can't always be by your side.

   When will the child grow up like that?

  So, Xu Daqiang and Xu Miao will only stay for one night and leave tomorrow.

   Might come again in a while though...

   After all, the baby is doing such a glorious thing now, how can it be done without the support of the family? Come and see your baby more, make a bowl of noodles for your baby, eat and drink, and let your baby eat and drink enough to nourish his spirit and continue to struggle.

   And Xu Xin returned to the bedroom and directly dialed his girlfriend's phone number.

  The result was hung up.

   "?"

  He sent a message, and Yang Mi replied in seconds:

   "Sister Zeng is here."

have to.

  As the biggest hole dug so far in his career, Xu Xin reckons that this hole will not be filled until the filming of Golden Armor is over.

   So I replied:

   "Okay, then I'll go to bed first, I'm a little dizzy after drinking."

  He was indeed dizzy. He had a drink at noon and another meal at night.

  Even the gods couldn't hold back this continuous drink.

   Going to bed, it was 7 o'clock in the morning when he fell asleep.

   Checked the phone first, and saw the message from my girlfriend last night:

   "I'm fine. Did you sleep?"

   "Sister Zeng approached me to talk about the audition during the day, and said that she found two plays for me, both of which would open in the second half of the year. I refused. She came to tell me what the company meant at night."

   "There have been a lot of reporters here in Wulong these days. I guess I might be on the news. Li Man's change of roles should not be hidden."

"So the company wants to expand my popularity, including helping me make appointments for magazines. But didn't I promise you to play "Wulin Biography", and I think the gap between me and Sister Gong is too big, and I don't want to waste time on such On the busy schedule, I will bite to death”

"Going back to school to improve my acting skills, I don't want to spend too much on myself. Sister Zeng agreed, but I can see that the company's intentions should be the opposite of my own decision. But who made me a prostitute, hehehe, and I also talked about this with Director Zhang today, "

"I also agree with me doing this, saying that being an actor at this stage is a process of absorbing and learning. Then sister Zeng came to me at night and said that the company thinks that the main thing is to improve my commercial value. I can see that she is very embarrassed. Then today I and Jay also"

"After chatting for a while, he said that he treated him in the same way at Haoledi Company. Haoledi asked him to hold concerts and make money by publishing best albums, and then he was scolded by his manager Yang Junrong, saying that the company was killing chickens and eggs. This is why Jay chose to leave One of the reasons, because the public"

"The company only regards him as a tool to make money, so he wants to start his own business. He also said that the career of an artist is very precious, and he does not recommend that I over-consume myself. And he told me that I have the right to say no to the company, but also You don’t need to say it directly, but you can hand it over.”

"To the manager, it's Sister Zeng. It means that on the one hand, you can see if Sister Zeng is a responsible manager. On the other hand, it is indeed the manager's job to negotiate with the company, rather than simply being a mouthpiece between the company and the artist. , I think it makes sense."

"So I had a special chat with Sister Zeng at night, and expressed my thoughts. I don't know if I did it right, but I don't want to be just the kind of person who disappears quickly because of seeking a girl into the public eye, yes No? Brother. I don't think I did anything wrong,"

   "Sister Zeng agreed and said that she would go to negotiate with the company. So the chat was late, if you fell asleep, then...I met you in a dream, hehe."

   "Then...wait for me to go back. Brother, I like you so much~hehe~"

  A total of twelve text messages.

  After reading the last text message, Xu Xin's heart became hotter and hotter.

but…

   Taking advantage of the time to go to the toilet, he looked over and over again at these few messages from his girlfriend. After thinking about it, he sent a message to Liu Momo:

   "Sister Mo, please tell Director Shang about it. For the role of Zhu Wushuang, ask him to send Rong Xinda an audition invitation, asking a girl named Yang Mi to play it."

   Liu Momo didn't reply.

   Probably didn’t get up yet.

  Xu Xin didn't urge her either, she washed her face, brushed her teeth and put on her clothes.

   opened the door.

a new day.
