I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 161 159. Hospitality

   A sound of "fuck, awesome" seemed to wake up the scene described by the young man in front of him, which was intertwined in his mind like a dream, that somewhat lost spring and autumn dream.

   Bringing everyone back to their senses.

   Looking at the young man in front of them, their eyes completely lit up at the same time.

yes…

   Use a scroll instead.

  Although what Xiao Xu said is different from what Director Zhang said just now, he found a kind of carrier on the link of canceling and weakening the four great inventions.

  But it is highly consistent with Director Zhang's requirements.

   Isn’t Director Zhang just looking for something that can carry the ancient and the modern?

  This scroll...

   Not the best of the best! ?

  Thinking of this, everyone's eyes focused on Zhang Yimou in unison.

  I saw Zhang Yimou frowned, looking at the map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains that had circulated and intertwined with each other several times...

   After watching for a long time, he didn't speak until the commotion of the crowd quieted down:

   "Did you go to the Forbidden City in the morning?"

"right."

  Xu Xin nodded:

"Last night you were talking about memorials, and Jay Chou and I were talking there... I asked him if he knew what memorials were... because yesterday when you talked about memorials, I felt a little inspired. But I couldn't figure it out for a while... Then As soon as he heard me ask him, he said that the memorial is not the imperial decree..."

   "..."

  The corner of Zhang Yimou's mouth twitched.

  Xu Xin couldn't help laughing too.

   smiled and said:

"Then I immediately thought about the appearance of the imperial decree. I tried it at home and thought...as long as this scroll can keep rolling...then you can't decide whether to use such a big paper? Now I think it can be used .A big piece of paper, for us to write and draw by ourselves...wouldn't it just be able to be displayed as a carrier? Thinking of this, I stayed up all night and drew these sketches..."

   Putting all the ten or twenty sketches in Zhang Yimou's hand, Xu Xin continued:

"I also searched for information on the Internet. I originally wanted to find "A Picture of Shanghe During the Qingming Festival" to show our various poses...but when I was looking at it, I suddenly saw this "A Picture of a Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", which was written by Wang Ximeng of the Northern Song Dynasty...it is in the Palace Museum... But I didn't see the real thing, so I bought this gift... It's a one-to-one imitation... Good guy, it's really expensive, more than three hundred... Will the money be reimbursed..."

   "..."

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

   "Where's the invoice, have you got it?"

   "...No. Will you still issue an invoice?"

   "How can you get reimbursed without invoicing?"

   "Forget it..."

   "..."

  Zhang Yimou was a little speechless, while looking at the sketches drawn by Xu Xin.

  In fact, the styles are very obvious, and they are not particularly complicated, similar to stick figures.

  It’s right to think about it. If a painter is really asked to draw on such a large paper, God knows how long it will take to draw. So this sketch is the most suitable.

  As the oldest memorandum painting of mankind, this kind of picture widely circulated in the world has a high degree of coincidence and consistency to some extent.

   is very suitable for this occasion.

   Zhang Yimou understood what Xu Xin wanted to express after looking at it for a while.

  So...

   "What do you guys think of the scrolling idea?"

   "A scroll that keeps moving."

  Xu Xin hurriedly added:

   "Want the kind that keeps spinning..."

  He was afraid that others might not understand what he meant.

  Zhang Yimou nodded, and then looked at Jiang Haoyang immediately.

  Jiang Haoyang did his part, as a large-scale prop designer, he nodded directly:

   "Technically, there is absolutely no problem."

"...Okay, let's design a smaller version first, let's take a look at the general appearance... What about the others, do you have any objections? If there are no objections, let's finalize the order of the chronicles contained in the painting scrolls today...Xiao Xu, sit down. Thank you for your hard work!"

"Um!"

  Having been busy all night without sleep, Xu Xin didn't feel any hardship.

   On the contrary, his eyes were full of excitement.

  However... the excitement began to fade quickly after he sat on the comfortable chair next to Wei Lanfang.

   "Ha...uh."

   first yawned.

   Squeezing his sore eyes, he heard Wei Lanfang say:

   "Didn't sleep all night? Why didn't you answer the phone?"

   "I was afraid of being disturbed, so I muted it..."

  Xu Xin took out the phone, only to find that there were several missed calls and messages.

   I probably looked at it, and it was all the classroom experience sent by my girlfriend...

  The two of them are already used to this common way of chatting a few words in their free time.

  But Xu Xin didn't reply.

   It's not that I don't want to go back...but the phone prompts that the battery is low again, and even the screen dims.

   "Miss Wei, do you have a charger with you?"

  Put the phone on the table and set it to vibrate before he asked.

  Wei Lanfang nodded:

   "I'm bringing it, I'll get it for you after the meeting."

"okay."

   In response, Xu Xin began to listen to everyone's discussion.

Then…

   I don't know what happened, but my eyelids started to fight.

  head bit by bit...

  The sleepiness after tossing for a day and night gradually emerged...

  …

   "If the scroll is used as the bearing, the meaning of this piece of paper... that is, the picture we want to give... I think it should be simpler. It should reflect that kind of big heart..."

   "Roar~~~~"

  Shen Danqing paused for a moment...

   subconsciously turned his head away.

  Don't talk about him, everyone's attention is focused on the source of the sound.

   "Roar~~~~~Hoo..."

   "Roar~~~~~~Hoo..."

   "Roar~~~~~~~~huh~huh~huh..."

  Xu Xin's neck was stuck on the chair, leaning on his big mouth, his nostrils pointed at the crowd, and he snored loudly...

  Zhang Yimou's expression was strange.

   Didn’t you look energetic just now?

   How can I just fall asleep?

   But listening to the snoring sound, everyone understood that it must be the snoring sound that can only be made by a weak neck.

  So, he shook his head helplessly:

   "Xiao Wei, shake him up and let him go upstairs to sleep."

  Upstairs, there are a few rest rooms that were set up last year, for the temporary rest of those who work overtime late.

"good."

   Wei Lanfang held back his laughter and woke Xu Xin up:

   "Hey, Xiao Xu...the director is calling you."

"ah?"

   Xu Xin opened his eyes in a daze, looked left and right, and shook his head quickly:

   "Sorry, sorry, fell asleep..."

   After speaking, I started to feel in my pocket... After I couldn't find any cigarettes, I reached for a pack of cigarettes from someone beside me...

   As a result, Chen Weiya slapped him:

   "Okay, stop smoking, go to bed when you are sleepy, great hero."

   "It's okay, it's okay...not sleepy..."

   "Hurry up and go."

  Chen Weiya can't laugh or cry:

   "The snoring just now made me think that someone brought the donkey here... Hurry up. Director Zhang also asked you to go."

"Well…"

   Subconsciously, Xu Xin with red eyes looked at Zhang Yimou.

   "Go."

  Hearing this, Xu Xin still shook his head:

   "It's okay, I'm really not sleepy..."

   Then, when he snored again three minutes later after finally convincing everyone that he woke up, he was kicked out by everyone.

   One second he said he was not sleepy, and the next he snored.

  You can do it...

   As a last resort, Xu Xin smashed his mouth...

   Go upstairs.

  He is indeed a little tired.

  Yesterday, I spent the whole day working on the matter of Fou during the day, and encountered no matter in the evening, and then returned home and started to study the matter of No, after a busy night, I went to the Forbidden City Museum again in the morning...

   According to Jay Chou's words, the road in his mind has been blocked.

   Urgently need a sound sleep to regain a clear mind.

  So, I walked into a single room that hadn't been used since the beginning of the year, and lay down on the single bed, completely unable to get up.

  …

   "I'm going first..."

  Beiying.

noon.

  The second class is over.

   Facing Bao Wenjing who was leaving in a hurry, Tang Wan waved her hand speechlessly. Before turning her head, she heard a voice from behind:

   "Abandoned you again?"

  Tang Wan turned her head and saw that it was Yang Mi, she nodded speechlessly:

   "That's right... It is said that Bao Beier played a part in a crew, and she went to deliver food... I am really speechless. What crew? It takes two or three hours to go back and forth? Why is the food not cold?"

   "...tsk tsk."

  Yang Mi was also a little emotional.

  I really didn’t find out before... how does the term boyfriend describe it?

  Love brain?

  Yes, yes, this is it.

  When a person falls in love, he loses his personality.

   Really...

"I am leaving."

  Thinking of this, she waved to Tang Wan and was about to go out.

   "Where are you going? No afternoon class?"

   "Come on, come back during class. Let's go..."

  The girl waved her hand casually, and ran out quickly.

   After leaving the school gate, she saw her 911 parked at the school gate, and she walked up quickly.

  It's the same as being a thief.

  No way, it's too ostentatious. If 350 hadn't been sent to the first insurance today, she wouldn't have let Sun Ting drive this car to pick her up:

   "Walking, walking."

   "Where are you going, sister."

   "Go to your Brother Xu's place. I haven't been there for a few days. The house may be a mess. Help him clean it up. Jay Chou has come over these two days, so he can't let people laugh at him."

  The girl who said that others were in love a second ago didn't realize it now, and she didn't give up too much.

   Sun Ting, who was not surprised at all, nodded and drove towards Xu Xin's house.

   Arriving at the door of the house, Yang Mi ordered:

   "You buy some rice... I want to eat Maoxuewang... and pickled fish. Remember to divide it into two portions, one for your brother Xu, and one for us to eat."

"OK."

  Sun Ting nodded, and after Yang Mi got off the car, she drove directly to the Sichuan restaurant not far ahead.

  Yang Mi took out the key in her pocket and opened the door.

   Entering the house, she checked the rooms one by one, just like going back to her own home, intending to see how messy it was.

   When she walked to the study room that smelled of cigarettes but did not open the windows, she wrinkled her nose speechlessly.

   How many cigarettes did you smoke?

   In the future, I really have to tell my brother to smoke less.

  Not to mention hurting the body...the smell after a long time is really unpleasant.

   It's far worse than the taste in your mouth.

   Then after walking into the guest room, she was stunned.

  Although the quilt is stacked...but it is not the four squares I stacked before.

   but strips...

  Who is coming to live?

  She was puzzled for a while...

   Could it be that Jay Chou has come over?

oops!

  Then if you see my brother’s house in such a mess, you might miss me.

  She was speechless immediately, but she didn't dare to delay any longer, and planned to tidy up quickly.

   Otherwise, I would look so useless.

   While she was cleaning up, besides Maoxuewang and sauerkraut fish, Sun Ting, who also bought an extra portion of twice-cooked pork that Yang Mi usually likes to eat, drove the 911 back to the door.

   A commercial vehicle also came over.

  Sun Ting didn't care. Seeing that the car wasn't driving fast, she made a left turn, walked along the curb with cemented gentle slope, got on the sidewalk, and stopped at the garage door.

   And the speed of the commercial vehicle also slowed down.

  Sun Ting didn't think much, took the bag of takeaways, and went straight into Xu Xin's house.

  …

  In the commercial vehicle, Li Hao and Xu Daqiang were a little dumbfounded.

   "Have been... been stolen?... Uncle, why don't you go down and have a look?"

  Hearing Li Hao's words, Xu Daqiang was stunned...

   "The thieves in Yanjing City... are all so powerful? Are they all female snitches? After entering the house... they still have to eat at home?"

   "..."

   "..."

   Both of them were a little speechless.

   And Li Hao did not forget to add:

   "This thief... still drives a Porsche?"

   "..."

  The two were speechless, at a loss, and puzzled.

   At one point, I even thought I had found the wrong house.

   But this is indeed my home... Who is this woman?

   "Could it be San Jin's girlfriend?"

   "Ah, isn't it. I've seen that woman before... She's prettier than this one."

  Xu Daqiang shook his head:

   "Go, take a look and go wow."

So, the commercial vehicle parked next to the Porsche, and at the end there were piles of slaughtered mutton bags one after another, Xu Daqiang quietly walked down, and together with Li Hao, stood by the door and looked inside .

  The funny thing is...it's obviously my home...

  But the two of them are acting like thieves now.

   Probe at the door, and then heard a sentence:

   "Sister, let's eat first."

   "Oh, here we come... Tingting, come here first, Brother Xu, help me get this pile of clothes and put them in the car. These are for dry cleaning, and you have to send them over later."

"OK."

   Seeing someone coming out of the kitchen, Xu Daqiang and Li Hao quickly retracted their heads.

   Then the two heard Sun Ting's doubtful voice:

   "So many? Brother Xu, do you still have any clothes?"

   "This is for a while when the weather is warm, so I wash it out in advance and prepare it. I can't wear it now."

"oh oh."

   "Let's go, let's go to eat, let's pack up quickly after dinner, Jay seems to have come..."

"Uh-huh…"

  Li Hao's face became weirder the more he heard it.

   Subconsciously looked at Xu Daqiang.

   But Xu Daqiang's face was full of smiles.

   seems very satisfied.

   At this moment, Sun Ting came out carrying two big bags.

"ah!"

   Suddenly seeing two people at the door, Sun Ting was startled and took a big step back.

  Xu Daqiang quickly waved his hands:

   "A tree is like a tree, so don't be afraid."

  The middle-aged man looked kind.

  Yang Mi also came out from the main hall at this time, heard movement from the shadow wall, and hurriedly asked:

   "Tingting, what's the matter? Did you fall down?"

  She walked over quickly.

   Then I saw the smiling Xu Daqiang...

   "Uncle Xu!?"

   After recognizing her boyfriend's father at a glance, she greeted him subconsciously.

  But immediately my mind was confused...

  The second sentence came out:

   "Why are you here!"

  As soon as I asked this question, I immediately felt wrong...

  This... This is his home!

  In an instant, there was embarrassment on his face:

   "Uh...not...I...I didn't mean that...Hi Uncle Xu, I'm Yang Mi, you...do you still remember me?"

   "I remember. Of course I remember~"

   Quietly switched to Mandarin, and Xu Daqiang responded.

   Smiling, he looked the girl up and down.

Um.

  It's more beautiful than the Chinese New Year encounter last year.

  Baby's vision is not bad.

  Although the accent of Mandarin is a bit strange, it does not prevent Xu Daqiang from asking with a smile:

   "What are you doing? Cleaning up the house?"

"…Um."

  Yang Mi nodded awkwardly.

   "Xu Xin...Let me help him clean up the house."

   "Oh~~~"

  The old man smiled and nodded:

   "Haven't you eaten yet? Look at this woman who just came in with a lunch box...she is..."

   "I...my friend, Sun Ting."

  Hearing Yang Mi's words, Sun Ting hurriedly said hello:

   "Hello Uncle Xu..."

   "Yeah, okay, okay, okay."

  For some reason, Xu Daqiang seemed more satisfied, and continued:

   "I haven't eaten yet, Xiao Li...go get something to eat, it's good..."

  Li Hao just wanted to nod, but Yang Mi waved her hand:

"No, no, no need, no need...I'm not hungry... Uncle Xu, these are pickled fish and Maoxuewang just bought from the restaurant... If you don't mind...You can eat, I...I'm done with this too , just about to leave..."

be honest.

   Don't look at other people's slick faces.

   But facing Xu Daqiang, she felt indescribably flustered.

   It is not too much to say that there are six gods and no masters.

   Immediately wanted to run away.

   also canceled the plan to come to see Xu Xin tonight.

pity…

  Xu Daqiang refused:

"Ah, it's impossible to leave without eating. How can I make people hungry~...Forget it, well...I can make noodles, cook some noodles, and the soup with pickled cabbage and fish can also be eaten... just right, I also I have something to ask you."

  After stopping Yang Mi, Xu Daqiang walked into the house, asking while walking:

   "Where did Sanjin go? Where is he? Why didn't you answer the phone?"

   "Uh...should be in the unit."

   "I've been looking for him all morning..."

   "Then let me ask you a question?"

   "Well, you ask, how about making noodles, Xiao Li, how about you greet Ha's guests?"

   Li Hao nodded to show that he knew, and Xu Daqiang walked directly into the kitchen.

   What he said was actually true.

   Cook some noodles, put some noodles in the pickled fish soup, it is quite enjoyable to eat.

   Or simply fried noodles.

   That thing is also easy.

   While cooking the noodles, Yang Mi called Wei Lanfang after calling Xu Xin a few times but couldn't get through.

   Confirmed that Xu Xin seemed to stay up late last night, and now he is sleeping in the rest room of the unit.

   Still not awake.

   Seeing that she couldn’t leave, she had no choice but to come to the kitchen door:

   "Uncle Xu."

   "Oh, got in touch?"

   "...um. Three...Xu Xin is sleeping in the work unit, it seems that he stayed up late last night."

   "Well...do you know his unit?"

"Know."

   "...Can you take me there later? There are ten sheep in the car, which he was supposed to take to work. Let's send them together later, okay?"

"this…"

  The girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded:

   "Okay, then... I will take you there later."

   "Well, that's great, then get ready and eat right away."

   "...Eh, good."

  …

   Soon, a large bowl of noodles with a burnt aroma was brought up.

   "This is... oil-splashed noodles?"

   Looking at the burnt chili noodles exuding aroma on the noodles in the large stainless steel basin, Yang Mi couldn't help asking.

   "Yes, there are only some green onions left at home, so I made some oily noodles. It's okay to eat, let's eat well at night~"

   Still...is there still night.

   There was no reason, Yang Mi panicked.

  But after Uncle Xu stirred the big pot of oily noodles with chopsticks, he couldn't hold back the faint aroma.

   Originally wanting to eat rice, she simply served some with chopsticks.

  Although it is not a wide noodle, it is just an ordinary noodle.

  But the so-called expert will know if there is one as soon as he makes a move.

  As soon as the oily noodles that the old man raised his two sons came out, the ability of the Shanshan generation to be called the noodle kingdom was revealed.

   Seeing Yang Mi and Sun Ting's wide-eyed eyes in surprise, Xu Daqiang showed a rather kind smile:

   "Haha, I'm eating a lot, it's not enough, I'll give it to you. Eat~"

   After speaking, he found a Maotai bottle from the shelf with ease, shook the inside, and poured himself a small glass of wine.

   One mouthful of noodles, one mouthful of wine.

   He didn't say a word, and he didn't ask what "how are you and Niediwa" or "how did you know each other?"

   Ask nothing.

   It’s just that when the two of them didn’t have enough noodles, they said:

   "Come on, here are the two of you."

  Yang Mi didn't dare to let him prosper, so she quickly said she would come.

   Then Xu Daqiang fell silent again.

   He just finished drinking the wine in three mouthfuls with a smile on his face, and started to eat the noodles with big gulps.

  He doesn't hold much himself.

   After a few sips, this side will be gone.

  Keeping a vague glance at the remaining noodles, he directly picked up the boxed rice next to him.

  After opening it, he also allocated half a box of noodles to Li Hao who was also almost finished eating the noodles.

  Li Hao has followed Xu Daqiang for many years.

   Immediately understood what Uncle Lai meant.

  The two left the noodles for Yang Mi and Sun Ting.

  Even if there is still a lot left.

  Even if two people may not be able to eat it.

   But this is the hospitality habit of people in northern Shaanxi.

   Good food, what the guests like to eat, let the guests eat first and eat well.

   Even if you are hungry, don’t like to eat rice, or what, you will never let the guests be dissatisfied.

  Sun Ting didn't think much about it, but after seeing this scene, Yang Mi...

   After thinking about it, she didn't say anything.

   Just got up and filled a bowl full for himself, and said with a smile:

   "Uncle Xu, this is the best oil-splashed noodle I've ever eaten in my life. Your craftsmanship is amazing~"

   "Hahahaha~"

   In a word, Xu Daqiang's happy mouth almost reached the ears.

Nod:

   "Good, good, eat, eat, eat, it's not enough and wow, I'm giving it to you."

"Uh-huh."

  The girl who was already a little full didn't refuse the kindness, and when she was eating the noodles, she still didn't forget to say something to Sun Ting:

   "Tingting, the rest is yours. Don't lose weight today, eat up all of it!"

"Well…"

  Sun Ting glanced at the washbasin with a little foundation left at the end, and nodded:

   "Okay, sister."

that's all…

  Kung fu for a meal.

  Even if it's just dried noodles, Yang Mi is still full.

  But when Xu Daqiang asked the phrase "It's delicious", her thumbs up and the natural sense of fullness still made the middle-aged man burst into the most blooming smile so far.

   smiled and nodded:

   "I'm full, drink some noodle soup, this is called... uh... original soup into original food, yes."

"Uh-huh."

  So, the girl ate another half bowl of noodle soup.

   Rolling his eyes.

   Really, I can’t eat anything anymore.
