I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 131: 129. Young people love face

Chapter 131 129. Young people love face

11 am.

When Dani opened the door, she saw three wine bottles lying on the coffee table of the sofa.

There are two more on the balcony.

Cigarette butts all over the place.

And that Xu Xin who passed out drunk on the sofa without even changing his clothes.

And a laptop with a dead battery is on top of the sofa where he sleeps.

Brother JAY is even more amazing.

Holding an electronic piano in his arms, he was lying in front of the balcony and the French windows of the living room.

Half of the body is on the balcony, and half of the body is in the living room.

The pillow on the head turned out to be an empty wine bottle...

"????"

She was speechless.

Can't even imagine what happened.

That means both of them are wearing clothes now.

If she doesn't wear clothes...she probably needs to call the police.

The sound of her entering the room also woke up the dazed Xu Xin.

Glanced at Dani...he subconsciously muttered:

"what time is it?"

"...It's already 11 o'clock, Brother Xu... How much did you drink last night?"

"Uh...I don't know...Water...Pour a glass of water..."

Dani hurried to get a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator.

Xu Xin sat up and drank half of the bottle before saying:

"He vomited in the shower room of the bathroom. Let the cleaner come over and clean it today... Bring me a set of his clothes and pants, I have to take a shower..."

"Oh, good."

Dani hurriedly ran to the locker room, and when she came out, Xu Xin could no longer see anyone.

She hurried to the main guard.

"Brother Xu, I put the clothes at the door."

"okay."

Xu Xin's voice came from the sound of splashing water.

Dani now has the time to take care of Jay Chou.

But Jay Chou has not yet sobered up. Hearing Dani's call, he opened his eyes and took a look in a daze. After getting up, he straightened himself up on the sofa and fell asleep again.

Xu Xin came out with surprise.

Wearing a sportswear, he curiously pointed at the guard:

"What brand is that shower thing?"

"Uh... Hansgrohe."

"…Have not heard."

Xu Xin, who suddenly felt that the shower head was extremely comfortable just now, shook his head:

"You send it to me later, and I'll change it too... It's pretty good after washing."

"OK."

"Well, is there any news about how to get there that I asked you yesterday?"

"Yes."

Dani quickly nodded:

"First fly to Xiangjiang from here, and then return to the mainland from Xiangjiang..."

"...Isn't this the same as my route yesterday?"

Xu Xin was a little speechless.

But still nodded:

"Okay, then will you take me to the airport?"

"...Ah? Brother Xu, are you leaving?"

"Um."

Xu Xin responded:

"Seeing that he is fine, I am relieved. I will go back now..."

"Uh... ok. Then JAY bro..."

"He's fine. We both drank until dawn yesterday, so we probably need to sleep all day today."

Hearing this, Dani quickly sent a message to the second assistant to ask him to come and take care of her, and then she took the key and went out with Xu Xin.

No words all the way.

Da Ni did not ask Xu Xin anything about Jay Chou and Hou Peitong.

Didn't talk about it either.

Actually, she couldn't talk about it either. Xu Xin started to sleep as soon as he got in the car, and slept until the airport.

After getting off the car, he waved to Dani and walked into the airport.

Just like that, Jay Chou woke up with a dazed expression until after 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

The first sentence after waking up is:

"Where's Xu Xin?"

"Brother Xu has already left, after 11 o'clock."

"…gone!?"

Jay Chou was taken aback for a moment, but immediately realized, looking at the assistant:

"Why didn't you stop him?"

Dani said in her heart that I have to stop it.

"... What time is his plane? How did he get there?"

"Uh, I should have arrived in Xiangjiang by now."

"? Why go to Xiangjiang?"

"He doesn't have a passport, so he can only go to Xiangjiang from here, then enter the customs from Xiangjiang, and then fly back to Yanjing after arriving in the mainland. This is the same route when he came."

"... so troublesome!?"

Jay Chou reacted belatedly, Xu Xin came to see how much trouble he had this time.

I was speechless at once:

"this…"

He seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say it.

When Dani saw that he was awake, she asked:

"Brother JAY, I'll call the cleaning staff. You vomited in the bathroom and haven't cleaned it yet."

"Spit?...Who vomited? I didn't vomit."

"...?"

"?"

The two stared with big eyes.

"Brother Xu said you vomited~"

"...I didn't throw up either."

"..."

…

10 at night.

Xu Xin finally arrived home.

At this moment, he was extremely exhausted and just sent a message to his girlfriend that he was safe and sound. After taking a shower, he didn't even read the reply, and directly threw himself on the bed.

When I woke up, it was almost 9 o'clock in the morning.

Fortunately, the creative team didn’t mention clocking in to work, otherwise the full attendance level this month would be cold.

It was almost 10 o'clock and we arrived at the Olympic Building.

At first, I thought I would miss something, but as soon as I entered the conference room, I saw a group of people scratching their heads and frowning, so Xu Xin nodded.

Well, it seems that everything is calm and nothing happened.

…

Time passed slowly.

On September 3rd, "Still in Fantasy" was released globally simultaneously.

Sales are booming.

Jay Chou's new album is still highly anticipated, and "Chapter Seven of the Night" has been crowned the highest degree of completion of the "Dark Trilogy".

The song "Thousands of Miles Away" by Tian Chaofeng is even more famous.

Looking at it, this September's music scene must be dominated by "Still Fantasy"...

But on September 4th, a bigger "melon" was exposed on Jay Chou.

On September 4th, at the Wanwan Ximending signing event, when reporters asked about Zhou Houlian, Jay Chou said frankly: "I don't have a girlfriend."

It was confirmed that Zhou Houlian had broken up.

In an instant, countless fans of Jay Chou cheered and high-fived.

Countless media began to dig deep into the news, and various speculations and revelations emerged one after another...

The news quickly spread to the mainland's network.

After Xu Xin saw the news, he just sighed slightly.

He knew that Jay Chou must have gone to see Hou Peitong.

Because that's what he promised himself.

It was "exchanged" with a song.

But in the end...

Suddenly, he kind of understood.

Understanding what his girlfriend said when he talked about this matter after he came back from Taipei:

"Actually, I can understand Hou Peitong more or less."

"What she needs is a sense of security and companionship. Because of her original family, what she desires most is not how good her boyfriend is, but to be by her side whenever she needs it."

"It's like meeting to watch a movie together. You spent countless hours adjusting, cooperating, and waiting for that day to come. You made countless routes to avoid the paparazzi, and investigated which time period had the least number of people. , and set it to the least noticeable position...but the other party suddenly released your pigeon when you were looking forward to it most..."

"For two people to get along comfortably, in addition to loving each other, there are also personality, time, energy, temper and various objective factors."

"But brother, you did one thing right, and that was to persuade him to go find her one last time."

"Because at least, he worked hard for love one last time."

Xu Xin does not know whether the definition of this passage is accurate.

But he was also very wise not to ask again.

Some things take time to heal wounds.

In the golden autumn of September, Xu Xin has more important things to do.

September eleventh.

Early in the morning.

Xu Xin took another half day off.

Drive directly to Baiyun Temple.

Baiyun Temple is located in Yanjing City, and today is not a holiday, so there are not many people. After Xu Xin arrived, he gave five tickets for ten yuan, and took five bundles of yellow incense amidst the Taoist priest at the door uttering mercy.

Enter the mountain gate and go to the Lingguan Hall first.

I don't know if it is a common saying in Yanjing, or it is the exquisiteness in Taoist temples.

According to my girlfriend, this is called: before going up the mountain, worship Wang Lingguan first.

Lingguan Hall is the first hall in any Taoist temple.

It is rumored that when Bei Qizhen became Taoist back then, the Haotian God conferred it, but Qiu Changchun refused to thank him, and asked the reason, because: people who practice and learn Taoism in later generations are like ministers who have endured millions of hardships and never retreated from their original aspirations. It is hard to choose One too. Good is the most difficult to learn, and you have to learn it well to learn the Tao.

Hearing his words, Wang Lingguan said to himself: If there are people who practice or learn Taoism in future generations, he will have three points of practice, and I will have seven points of induction. He has very good practice, and I will take care of him at any time.

So, for those who practice Taoism, the status of Wang Lingguan is very high.

Many people think that these words come from the mouth of Wei Tuo Bodhisattva, but in fact they came from the Buddhist gate. The only person who spoke these words for our generation of monks is Wang Lingguan.

Therefore, in the caves and blessed places set up by those who study and practice Taoism in later generations, the Hall of Lingguan is the first place.

But this is not Xu Xin's goal.

Arriving at the Hall of the Lingguan, looking at the **** who pinched the "middle finger" of the Lingguan finger, Xu Xin just lit a bunch of incense, bowed respectfully, and went directly to the second hall.

The second hall is the Jade Emperor Hall, so there is nothing to say.

Light a bundle of incense, bow again and leave.

Finally, he arrived at the third hall of Baiyun Temple - Laolu Hall.

Standing in front of the big tripod outside the door, he looked up at the plaque of "Langjian Zhenting", feeling slightly regretful.

Today is not a day of fasting, and we can’t see the priests doing things.

But… that's okay too.

Three bundles of incense are lit.

After serving each bundle respectfully, he bowed in front of the tripod and said silently:

"Taiyi saves the Ku Tianzun."

After inserting all three bundles of incense into the tripod, a little sadness finally appeared on his face.

Stepped in, looked at the statue of the Quanzhen Seven Sons respectfully and piously, and knelt down on the futon. (Note 1)

Kneel once, knock three times.

Silently recite Taiyi to save Ku Tianzun.

Kneel twice, knock three times.

Silently recite Taiyi to save Ku Tianzun.

Kneel three times, knock three times.

Silently recite Taiyi to save Ku Tianzun.

After kneeling three times and knocking nine times, Xu Xin shouted silently from the bottom of his heart:

"mom."

…

Xu Xin has never felt that he has any beliefs.

Although there is no such thing as atheism, if you ask him to believe in Buddhism or faith, he will not believe it. But whenever there are some special days, he will always go to worship devoutly.

It's not just him, it seems that many people in the Celestial Dynasty have a slightly utilitarian idea of "I'm looking for you if I have something to do, and I don't have anything to do with you" towards the gods.

Today is my mother's death day.

He can't go back.

Papa won't let me go back.

So he's not in a very good mood these days.

His girlfriend noticed it, so she told him that he could come to Baiyun Temple to burn incense.

It is not a Buddhist temple, but a Taoist temple.

This seems to be the habit of people in Yanjing. My girlfriend also specially confessed to come to Laolvtang, because Laolvtang is a place dedicated to eliminating disasters and prolonging life, and to save the souls of the dead.

On the right day, there will be a feast of fasting.

But if you can’t make it, it’s right to come here to pray.

At this moment, Buddha and Tao seem to be very distinct.

So, Xu Xin came, early in the morning, and after bowing respectfully, he felt a little more comfortable.

Then, he sent a message to Xu Miao, telling him that after he came to the Taoist temple to pray for our mother, Xu Miao also told him that the grave had already been visited.

That will do.

The two brothers feel at ease.

At the same time, he sent another message to his girlfriend, telling her that he had gone to work.

Drove to the Olympic Building.

It’s actually quite interesting to say that, the Xu family doesn’t have any beliefs, including Xu Daqiang. However, those who burn incense and pray for blessings in the temples and Taoist temples over there every year are basically not left behind.

But in the final analysis, he really has no faith, but his girlfriend believes in Buddhism.

When Xu Xin heard about her belief for the first time, she was really surprised.

And when he heard his girlfriend pulling him to go to Thailand to worship Buddha after the Olympics, it was even more strange.

What do you mean?

Monks from other places like to chant scriptures?

I don't understand.

So, he is not very interested in going to the so-called Xinmatai, but rather looking for a temple in Yanjing where the Longevity Amulet can be enshrined.

But my girlfriend doesn't know much about this aspect.

Have to find someone to ask.

While thinking about these things all the way, he received a call from Yang Mi:

"Hello."

"Hey, Brother, have you finished offering incense for Auntie?"

"Yeah. Are you done with class?"

"Yes."

Probably guessed her boyfriend's mood at the moment, so she didn't show any emotion in her words, but said directly:

"I have to join the group tomorrow."

"...from "Wulin Biography"?"

"right."

Xu Xin frowned instantly.

"What about tomorrow's birthday?"

"Well…"

September 12th is my girlfriend's birthday in the Gregorian calendar year.

And what's weird is that she really only celebrates her birthday in the Gregorian calendar year, but in the lunar calendar year, because she finds it hard to remember.

Originally, the two had already discussed it. At noon tomorrow, she will spend time with her family, and then she will find an excuse of "my classmates celebrated my birthday", and the two of them will go out to have a candlelight dinner together. But you want to join the team tomorrow?

"Why is it so sudden? Isn't it not long since the filming started?"

Xu Xin handed over the matter of "Wulin Biography" to Liu Momo, and he didn't worry about it himself. It's just that after the girlfriend went through an audition scene like a child's play, she was left alone.

But now it’s his birthday that his girlfriend wants to join the group?

"I don't know the specifics, but the director just called suddenly to say that he will be filming tomorrow."

"...I'll call Director Shang and postpone it for a while."

"Hey, don't!"

After hearing what her boyfriend said, Yang Mi quickly interrupted his thoughts:

"I'm just a supporting role, so I have to go to the crew. How can I postpone it because of me? Then it will spread, and I won't be able to see people in the future... It can't be like this, brother, don't make trouble. I guess it will be filmed tomorrow. It will be over soon, soon.”

“…Did you actually read the script?”

Xu Xin was a little speechless:

"This is a chapter-by-chapter story. Each episode is set. If you want to go in, it must be the 31st episode. It's about Zhu Wushuang throwing a sunflower to the Tongfu Inn and coming to find Bai Zhantang at night. That episode You also have a show during the day, and a play at night... what do you think?"

Yang Mi actually knew that her boyfriend was right.

But human beings are most afraid of not being able to recognize themselves.

Yes, this drama is invested by her boyfriend.

Yes, the characters in this play were "picked up for nothing" by myself.

But if you really want to rely on these two points to engage in some kind of show operation, the girl asks herself that she can't do it.

If the filming has already started, and there is something to do in the middle, discuss with the director how to concentrate the scenes or what to do, then there is no problem. But this hasn't joined the crew yet, just because of my birthday, I asked the crew to change the shooting schedule...

Even if her boyfriend invested in the play, she couldn't agree to it.

a bit too…

To put it badly, it’s called bullshit, and to put it nicely, it’s a force...

Anyway, it's not a good word.

So, she still refuses:

"No, brother, if you do this, I won't be able to get along with this crew in the future... The big deal is that it's just tomorrow. I'll spend time with my family tomorrow, and then I'll ask the director how my play is arranged. Anyway, it's only ten or so." The part of the episode is very easy to handle. How is it?"

"...Birthday is still called birthday if you miss it?"

Xu Xin was a little dissatisfied.

Although he knows his girlfriend is doing the right thing...

The results of it…

"You still secretly don't tell me your birthday!"

"..."

Xu Xin's birthday is not, because it is the mother's good day.

Although no one blamed him for his mother's departure...but some gossip and gossip in his childhood are still fresh in his memory.

Some people say that his life was hard and he killed his mother.

Some people also say that the mother lost her vitality because of giving birth to him...

So he really couldn't lick that face for a birthday.

It's been like this since I was a child.

Suddenly, he was helpless:

"This is our first birthday together..."

"I know, but I'm going to celebrate many, many birthdays with you in the future. Is this one missing... Okay, brother, starting from next year, can I start celebrating the birthdays of the lunar year? I have two a year, and I will compensate you every day. !"

"..."

have to.

Now that we've said all this, what else can Xu Xin say?

"Then what will you do tomorrow?"

"Normal shooting, I enter the group in the morning, and go home after the night scene. For birthdays...my dad will definitely give me a bowl of longevity noodles. Actually, I don't like birthdays either, because every time I celebrate my birthday, it reminds me A step toward turning 30...uh."

"..."

Xu Xin said, what you said is really human.

"Okay, then I canceled the reserved restaurant?"

"Cancel it... we will go next time."

He made an appointment for a small daily meal.

I also made an appointment based on hearsay. It is said that it is a kind of kaiseki or kaiseki cuisine. Yang Mi has never eaten it, nor has he, and wants to try it.

no solution anymore.

"Okay, then I'll call to cancel the appointment now."

"Well, do you drive?"

"right."

"Then wait until the Olympic Building is talking, and drive carefully~"

"good."

Hung up the phone, Xu Xin shook his head helplessly.

If you miss it, just miss it. Anyway, Jay Chou will come in a few days, and I will make up another one then.

Just thinking about it, another call came in.

Unknown number.

After Xu Xin connected, he heard a sentence:

"Hello, Mr. Xu, I am the sales consultant of Porsche..."

Xu Xin's eyes moved.

…

Early in the morning, Yang Mi just got up and walked out of the house, then obediently stood in front of the dining table.

How many years have passed, the subtle habits let her know what she will face on this birthday...

Sure enough, Yang Chunling stood up holding a boiled egg:

"Girl, happy birthday!"

"Mom, happy birthday~hehe~"

gave her mother a considerate hug, and then she stood still, letting her roll the egg from head to toe.

And she also muttered silently:

"Good luck rolls in!"

I don’t know if it’s a superstition or something, anyway, it’s been like this for many years.

After the eggs are rolled, they are broken, shelled, and thrown into the bowl of longevity noodles in soy sauce soup.

The family of three began to eat.

"Girl, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Hearing Yang Dalin's words, Yang Mi shook her head:

"Whatever, but don't order the cake from last year, it's unpalatable. Dad, order a smaller, delicious fruit cake, which is very popular now."

“…made of fruit?”

Yang Dalin obviously didn't understand much.

"No, no, no, it's just that the cake has that kind of fruit interlayer... Anyway, go to the cake shop and tell them they must know. Let's just get an 8-inch one."

"Hmmm... good."

As soon as Yang Dalin agreed, Yang Chunling said:

"Then what time did you come back from filming today?"

"Hmm... I don't know."

The girl doesn't know what's going on in this show, the filming is fast or slow.

"However, on the first day of entering the group, it may be a little slower to enter the state... But I hope I can finish work early today."

"Is "Golden Armor" starting to be promoted soon?"

"I don't know."

"...All right, hurry up and eat, don't let Tingting wait for a long time below."

"Uh-huh."

The girl responded and began to grumble noodles.

Soon, after finishing a bowl of longevity noodles, she wiped her mouth:

"I am leaving."

"Go, tell Tingting to drive carefully and fasten her seat belt, you know?"

"Know it."

The old couple really thought that the Santana was a car provided by the company, so they had no plans to buy a car for their daughter for the time being.

Some time ago, I showed my daughter a car, and my daughter fell in love with a Nissan sports car.

500,000 more... It's so good that Yang Dalin didn't faint.

More than 500,000 yuan is not as good as a loan for the new house that my daughter bought.

But I can't help my daughter likes it.

I can't bear the money that is beyond my pocket.

Finally discussed it.

Anyway, I have this Santana, so I will use it first, save it, and buy it for the girl when I have more money.

Waiting for the daughter to go out, the couple continued to eat.

Yang Chunling suddenly said:

"Why not decorate the new house first."

"…how?"

"It's true that Mimi can't go out without a car. No matter how good the Santana is, it doesn't look like an actor drives it. It's too cheap...Rong Xinda is really, stingy, even if you change to a car worth about 100,000 yuan It’s okay, I just want to get a Santana..."

"..."

Yang Dalin didn't say a word, he drank porridge and ate steamed buns...

After a few sips, he nodded:

"Alright. Can you do some renovations? How much was the down payment for the car last time?"

"It seems to be less than 20."

"...Then find Xiaobin in the afternoon and ask him to bring back the 30,000 yuan he owes to our family. Consider it a birthday present for my daughter, and book the car tomorrow?"

"OK!"

Yang Chunling agreed:

"Young people care about saving face. It's really outrageous for my daughter to drive this car... Why don't you go take a look in the afternoon?"

"OK."

Yang Dalin agrees directly:

"If it works, first pay a deposit and collect the money in your hand... Where is Mimi taking the photo?"

"Flying Dragon Studios."

"... far enough, that place is a mountain, so it's not easy to walk?"

Hearing Yang Dalin's words, Yang Chunling thought for a while and said:

"How about picking her up at night? Bring a cake and a deposit? Surprise her?"

Yang Dalin pondered for a while, then nodded:

"I think it will work!"
