I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  After the meeting, Xu Xin left around six o'clock in the evening.

   rushed to a restaurant, and finally met Qi Lei, the general manager of the distribution company of Xiying Studio.

   This middle-aged man who has the same name as his roommate and just turned 40 this year seems to be easy to get along with. The two found a Lu restaurant and chatted while eating.

   We were talking about publicity matters.

  The meal was almost finished, and finally, Qi Lei asked tentatively:

   "Director Xu, have you considered your plans after the Olympics?"

   "I'll listen to Director Zhang's arrangement."

  Xu Xin shrugged:

   "For me, Director Zhang is the same as my master, so I will do whatever Director Zhang says."

   "Oh~~~"

   Qi Lei understood in seconds.

  The next thing is not what the two mentioned, but the communication between Xiying Studio and Director Zhang Yimou.

  In the afternoon, Director Zhang also said, either 2+1 or 3+1.

   Then it depends on what Xiying Studio thinks.

   By the time I finished eating, it was after 9 o'clock in the evening.

  Xu Xin returned home.

  As soon as he entered the house, he felt it.

  The house is cleaned up.

   My heart suddenly warmed up...

  Can't help but send a message to Yang Mi:

   "Sister, for a while... take some time to come and go home, okay?"

  Yang Mi didn't reply.

  …

   "Wow la la la la la la..."

  9:30.

  Amid the applause of the audience, the drama "Yanjing People" officially ended.

  When all the actors took the curtain call, some young actors, including Yang Mi, looked at the audience who stood and applauded, and the excitement in their eyes was beyond words.

   succeeded.

   Months of hard work turned into thunderous applause today.

   It is a lie to say you are unhappy.

but…

  Yang Mi bowed and looked in the direction of the backstage.

   Sure enough, Sun Ting raised her phone.

   means: Sister, you have news.

  Her heart... began to flood completely.

  …

  The audience left, but the backstage was still full of reporters.

  After seeing the actors walking down, they started to interview step by step.

   According to the old rules, Yang Mi still has the most... There is no way around this.

  I said before that I would not answer questions that have nothing to do with the drama. Now that the drama is over, it’s time to talk about something, right?

  Yang Mi also knew that she couldn't escape this hurdle, so she simply took the reporter to the far side of the corridor to prevent everyone from disturbing the people who changed clothes, and then she was completely surrounded by miscellaneous questions.

   "It feels great. It is a great recognition for my career as an actor to receive applause from the drama performance. I am very grateful to the audience present today for their encouragement and support."

  …

   "Well, the next arrangement is to leave for Cannes tomorrow. Although I missed the screening of the movie, I still want to be with everyone. Go learn and gain knowledge."

  …

   "There is definitely an expectation of winning, but in terms of so many outstanding works, I think everyone's chances are fair. So let's wait patiently for the results to be announced."

  …

   "Sorry, I still can't answer the director's question, but I think he should appear in the public eye in these two days."

  …

"Thank you for supporting the drama "Yanjing People", and thank you teachers for your hard work for so many days, and please support "The Unspeakable Secret". Okay, that's it, I have to go back and pack my luggage, thank you Everyone."

  …

   After the interview was over, the girl hurriedly changed her clothes and ran out.

   The other actors didn't say anything.

   They all know what's going on, and they understand.

  The status quo in this circle is like this, whoever is popular will win the limelight.

   After Yang Mi ran out with Sun Ting pushing the box, she took out her mobile phone and saw her boyfriend's message... She bit her lip, her eyes were a little hazy.

  Little ancestor... you are such a seductive little fairy...

   After getting in the car, she thought about it and made a call.

   "Girl, is the show over?"

   "Um...Mom, where's my dad?"

   "Beside."

"Well…"

  Yang Mi opened her mouth, and her original impulse turned into a timid question:

   "I...can I not go back tonight?...I promise to go back early tomorrow morning, okay?"

  After asking, she was already prepared for the storm.

  But who knows...

   "Okay, no problem. Don't come back tonight, come back tomorrow after waking up, anyway, the plane is in the afternoon. Ah, that's it."

   "Beep."

   "...???"

  Yang Mi was dumbfounded.

  This...is this agreed?

So simple?

  …

   "Don't look at me with that look, what's the matter, how old is the girl? You still care? What are you looking at?"

   "..."

"Let me tell you, Yang Dalin, if you want to say that the child is young, you don't care about her and I won't say anything. The child is in her twenties, and it's normal to fall in love and get married. If you still plan to give me eye drops, then you It's a pervert! Do you understand! Xiao Xu is so good and has been busy with the Olympics for so long, if his daughter doesn't see him, if he doesn't want to find her, then you will be angry, understand! Don't stare at me, little Couples are not allowed to fall in love!?"

   "Who won't let her fall in love? Why did I pervert me? There are so many villains in this society that you don't know?"

  Yang Dalin also got angry:

   "He's not married yet! Just stay out at night!? You agreed? How can you be a mother!?"

   "Yo, now you know what to say? What about you? When we were together, didn't you mention this! Why, you can do it, but your daughter can't, right?!"

   "Can it be the same! What did we know at the time!?"

"Now my daughter is about the same age as us back then, why don't you say it!? She is an adult, she has her own freedom, I am too embarrassed to say you, look at your virtue this morning. My newly bought pot! You shoveled a hole for me! No, what are you going to do? You are so capable, if you are capable, you will guard your daughter for the rest of your life, don't let her marry!"

   "When did I say I won't let her marry!"

"Then who are you staring at here!? Ah?! My daughter and Xiao Xu haven't seen each other for so many days, what's the matter? Don't let them see each other? Did you do it yourself? You just restrain the child like this?...Why are you standing up?! Let me tell you, Yang Dalin, if you dare to leave today, I will break your leg!"

   "..."

   "Give me your phone! Give it to me!"

   "Hey you... are you crazy? Why are you taking my phone!?"

   "I'm afraid you will call my daughter! Let me tell you, if you dare to make this call today, my daughter dares to enter this house and try!"

   "What are you doing making a fuss about the fire in the middle of the night!...I'm going out to smoke."

   "Give me your phone!"

   "...fuck, crazy bitch, it's really..."

  Yang Dalin also looked annoyed, tapped his mobile phone on the shoe rack by the door, and walked out of the house with his slippers on.

  The movement of closing the door was not small.

   At the same time, he habitually took a flashlight.

  The weather in Yanjing at the end of April is the most comfortable season, neither cold nor hot.

  With a lawsuit in his head, Yang Dalin lit a cigarette after he came out of the corridor, then strolled subconsciously in the comfortable evening breeze, and walked to the gate of the family courtyard.

   Habitually stopped.

   At this time, a taxi stopped at the door.

   There are two couples who are about the same age as Yang Dalin.

  After seeing Yang Dalin, the man was taken aback, and said with a smile:

   "Dalin, are you waiting for Mimi again?"

   "Uh... ah, um. Second brother, why did you go?"

   "Just came back from the girl's house."

  The couple walked over to greet Yang Dalin. Yang Dalin handed over a cigarette and asked:

   "How is Xiaoli?"

"pretty good."

   "How many months?"

   "Four months."

   "Oh~~The fetal image is stable."

   "Yes, I just checked today and everything is normal. No, I came back after having dinner together."

   "The son-in-law is quite serious, right?"

   "Well, let's do it, no, the two of them just installed a new house, and now they have a little loan, but there is no problem, the profit of the car repair shop is quite good... How is Mimi's performance today?"

   "It was quite successful."

   "Haha, I saw that Mimi was promising when I was young... OK, Dalin, let's talk later, we will go back first."

   "Hey, come on, second brother, go slowly."

   "Well, take Mimi to our house for dinner another day."

"OK."

   Neighbors respectively.

  Yang Dalin took another puff of cigarette.

  Looked back at the back of the neighbor leaving, and then looked at the empty street.

   Finished one cigarette...He wandered around for a while...

   Ordered another one.

  After finishing the second cigarette, he subconsciously looked at his flashlight.

   So many years... this is the... fifth? Is it the sixth one?

  From the one with the battery to the one that is charging... the light is getting brighter and brighter.

   Then somehow, in a trance, he remembered the past.

  From my daughter who just learned to walk, to kindergarten...to elementary school...to cram school...

  For so many years, he has gotten used to whenever his daughter is in Yanjing, no matter how late, he will come out to pick her up, and use this flashlight to guide the way home.

  Before I knew it, I had grown up so much...

  The flashlights were changed one after another.

   And I... seem to be old too.

  Thinking of this...he lit himself another cigarette.

  The light of the flashlight turns on, turns off, turns on, turns off...

  He repeated this action unconsciously.

   And just when the cigarette was about to burn out, suddenly, the light of the flashlight flickered a few times indefinitely, and after making a few "sizzling" sounds, it completely dimmed.

   "...?"

  He was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously knocked with his hand...

   Still not on.

broken?

   It’s been less than two years since I bought it.

  What quality...

   Unbelievable, knocked a few times in vain, and after seeing that it still didn't light up...

  Suddenly, the middle-aged man paused.

  The cigarette **** in his mouth burned rapidly, and then turned into a long, long smoke, which was sprayed out from his mouth.

   "Hoo..."

  Among the smoke, he looked at his flashlight for the last time...

  Keep watching.

   It was only when the cigarette butts were burned out that I came back to my senses.

   Spit out the cigarette butt, and extinguish it with his foot.

   He shook his head.

  People nowadays really don’t even turn on the screw of the flashlight to change the bulb. Doesn't this mean that people will buy a new one after the home is broken?

"well…"

   A long sigh.

  He walked to the public trash can at the door, took one last look at the flashlight in his hand, and then...

   With a bang, it was thrown into the trash can.

   In the future, it is estimated that... this thing will not be used anymore.

  With a sense of regret and loss that only his father could understand, he turned his head and walked towards home.

   soon disappeared at the end of the lonely light at the gate of the community.

   Mottled light and shadow.

  …

   "Hiss...don't be so twisted..."

   "Shut up! Hold on for a while!"

  …

   "Why did you tell your uncle that you passed the test like this?"

   "Call my mom, hehehe..."

   "...Excellent. But uncle must be feeling uncomfortable, right?"

   "So... we can't have a daughter, you know? You can't keep it! You must have a boy!"

   "...Sister, are you patriarchal?"

   "It doesn't count, but I can somewhat understand my dad's mood, so... it's better to be a boy!"

  Two silver rings are intertwined with the finger.

  Hearing this, Xu Xin hugged the fragrant body in his arms, squinted his eyes and enjoyed it:

   "Want to have a baby with me?"

"Um…"

   A simple response expresses his determination.

   "But not now... I'm just getting started."

   "... Then you were so determined just now..."

   "Hmm...hehehe. It's okay, your stinky marksmanship is not so accurate."

   "Just kidding! I've also shot a target, okay?"

   "Yes, yes, it is so embarrassing to say that a person whose shoulder is bruised by the **** of a gun..."

   "I can't, I don't understand, it's definitely a standard triple dot now!"

   "Just blow it up you~ hehehehe~"

  Fingers unconsciously caressed the silver ring on her boyfriend's hand, she squinted her eyes, listening to her boyfriend's strong heartbeat, her voice gradually became like a cat:

"elder brother."

"Um?"

   "I want abs~"

   "...don't leave any pot unopened."

  How can he find time to exercise in the past few months... Although he hasn't gained much weight, the muscle mass in his abdomen has indeed disappeared.

  Hearing this, the girl smiled:

   "Hey, don't worry, even if you become a fat man, I won't dislike you."

   "Eating fat with me?"

   "...you are missing a great virtue!~"

   "Hahaha~"

   After many days of incomprehension, during the intermission when the pain of lovesickness was relieved, bursts of happy laughter came from the bedroom.

   "Hey, I don't dare to go back to the dormitory now, what should I do?"

"Um?"

  Xu Xin was a little puzzled:

"Why?"

"I'm afraid to see Shanshan... How embarrassing. When the trailer of "The Unspeakable Secret" came out, I didn't dare to go back... She must know that Xu Xin is you, but I played the role again... Maybe what's going on behind my back What about me. I took over from you, maybe she will think about me picking up the leftovers she ate..."

"…that…"

"Um?"

   "Can you not belittle me when you bury yourself? What do you mean she eats leftovers? In total, I am leftovers?"

   "Anyway, you old eggplant is not very fresh."

   As she spoke, her hands were no longer touching the ring, and she put it under the quilt.

  Xu Xin was really speechless by the name of this old eggplant:

   "Do you have to take me?"

   "Hmm~ Hey, boy, can you give me some feedback! The second half is ready to kick off!"

   "No, give me a fart! Get out!"

   "Hmph... Hey, let's make an appointment in September?"

   "Birthday?"

   "No, school starts in September, I'll take you to school to see beauties. Let me tell you, Shanshan has changed a lot recently, she knows how to dress up, she looks foreign."

   "This is too much trouble, right?"

  Xu Xin frowned.

  Yang Mi took a look, and quickly softened:

   "Oh, oh, don't be angry, I'm wrong, can't you? I didn't tell you to go see her, I mean to see freshmen. You don't know, there are quite a lot of handsome guys in the class of 2006."

   "How is the quality of the girl?"

   "Well, it's so-so... So far, they can't compare to me."

   "All the people in the world can't compare to you alone."

   "...hehehehe~"

   This answer is definitely full marks.

  Adding the guilt of teasing my boyfriend just now... Well, let me kick off the second half first.

  So she began to arch down, and said while arching:

"Will you go? Look at our juniors...Speaking of which, the class of 2007 seems to be able to compete with you, right? The Olympic Games end in August, and you will go directly with the sophomore in September. , you are still classmates, junior."

"Well…"

  Xu Xin thought about it, and it seems that this is really the truth.

but…

   "Why do you have to go with me? Didn't you also go to film "Ugly Girl" at that time? Can't you watch it anytime?"

   "Can it be the same?"

  The little girlfriend who has become a Jenny Turtle directly revealed her purpose with a bit of provocation:

   "That day, I have to dress up, you know?"

"what?"

"Two points... The first point is to let you see how beautiful your girlfriend is when she sticks in the crowd. Don't be fascinated by those little Gabadou when I'm not here. Put your girlfriend's face and Comparing their faces and figures, I know what to expect. The second point... I also want to see if there are any handsome guys."

   "..."

  The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help saying:

   "Then... I also dressed up that day?"

   "No, you have to dress more rustic... Hey, why don't I put on weight for you now. Anyway, I like you no matter what you look like... You make yourself a little rustic, and then people won't be interested in you..."

   "Don't let the school girl be interested in me, and then you go to see the handsome guy?"

  Xu Xin was dumbfounded.

   "Why are you so double-standard? Are you a double-standard dog..."

   "Hey, that's it, that's it, how about it? Bow, woof... oh~~~~~"

   After a while, a murmur came from the bedroom:

   "I don't care...brother...you are mine...I like you so much...love you so much..."

  …

  Sometimes, this girl's mood is just like the clouds in Wushan.

   Change as you say.

  Mingming was still happy because of the reunion last night, I love you to the bottom of my heart. But when I woke up in the morning, I found that after I got up after ten o'clock, someone fried the pot:

   "Oh! It's all your fault! I promised my mother to go back early, my father must be angry with me!"

   "...I said last night that you don't want to go to bed, and you insist on tossing until two o'clock."

  Xu Xin looked aggrieved.

   Looking at the girl who was jingling the pants on her legs, her eyes were full of innocence.

"I don't care, I blame you... Oh, I have to go quickly... I haven't packed my things yet. Brother, what... No kiss, I'm leaving... Hurry up too, take off in three hours, you hurry up Go through security at the airport, don't be late!"

   "Well...that's what it says, but can you put this on first."

  Holding a sports bra, Xu Xin was speechless:

   "You are still empty, sister."

   "..."

  The girl who had just put on her clothes was speechless. She pulled it over and started to take it off again.

   "It's all your fault..."

   "Yes, yes, blame me, blame me..."

   "Tingting is too, why don't you call me! You call Tingting quickly! Let her pick me up... Forget it, I'll drive you away."

"I send you?"

   "Fuck you, my dad might block you at the entrance of the community with steel pipes!"

   Putting on her clothes indiscriminately, the girl ran out quickly.

   Soon, the sound of an engine roaring came from outside the house, and she left in a hurry.

  Xu Xin shook his head helplessly.

  Sometimes, it's too mature.

  But sometimes she is just like a yellow-haired girl.

  Oh yes, and sometimes like a thousand-year-old female fairy.

  He walked into the bathroom with his charged phone, and when he turned on the phone, the news push service he subscribed to for 6 yuan a month had already sent a multimedia message.

   This thing is like a newspaper. Xu Xin habitually reads this information first thing in the morning.

   Sitting on the toilet, he began to browse.

  Current affairs, cities, entertainment...

   When he saw the entertainment section, he suddenly froze...

  My first reaction was that I was dazzled.

   Blinking, the muscles on his face began to twitch unconsciously when he took a second look.

   "The director of "The Unspeakable Secret" has finally appeared, and there is an amazing inside story behind the mystery!"

Shock.

Shock.

   Still so shocked...

   No matter how you look at this topic, it looks familiar... Xu Xin, who seems to have seen it somewhere, clicked on this news, and first saw a line of text:

  "Southern Weekly--Wang Minmin finally interviewed Xu Xin, the director of "The Unspeakable Secret" yesterday..."

   Then he pulled down, and he saw his own face.

   It’s okay. Although this picture is a screenshot of a video, the people from the Southern Weekly did save face.

   Give P the place on his forehead that is different from his face.

   At least it looks the same color on the phone.

   Then Xu Xin read this press release, which roughly meant to simplify the video interview between the two and highlight the key points.

  The key points are: Beijing Film Academy's 05th grade student, talented director, "core" member of the creative team for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games, director of "Unspeakable Secret", friend of Jay Chou

  Because of the space, this news cannot be written in detail. The general meaning is to summarize part of what Xu Xin said yesterday, and also explain why Xu Xin rarely appears in the public eye.

   Then, after the sound of flushing water, Xu Xin turned on the computer.

   After finding the Sina entertainment section, it was also the headline on the front page...

  The identity of the director of "The Untold Secret" is revealed!

   After clicking in, in addition to seeing the authorization of the Southern Weekly, there is a complete video link and a written record.

  Nanfang Weekly did not delete or modify this video, and directly uploaded this half-hour-long interview.

  As for what he said, Xu Xin was not interested in repeating what he said. After skipping the large text retelling, he turned to the message board function.

  I want to see what netizens comment.

   As a result, the first article was fun for him.

   "The civil engineering dog expressed his sympathy, so he showed his image. When the movie is released, I will definitely support a movie ticket."

   This is the most original comment.

   Then someone started copying and pasting.

  First quotes, and then for example, "AH Civil Engineering College is top!", "Liaoning Polytechnic Vocational University is top!", "Zhejiang University of Technology is top in architecture!" and so on.

   Various replies.

  Xu Xin continued to scroll down:

   "At first glance, I thought this face was Monkey King."

   "After a long time, the director of "The Unspeakable Secret" is a construction site watcher/laugh"

   "I'm going, is he really a member of the Olympics? So powerful?"

   "The interests of the motherland are above all else? This is too false."

   "Is there someone from Beiying to come out and explain it?"

   "Beiying people said that we know this person, he is quite famous, a rich second generation, who drives a Ferrari to go to school."

   When Xu Xin saw this message, Xu Xin frowned...

   Sure enough, scrolling down, many people have already quoted, and began to ask for more detailed information...

this…
