I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 198 196. Things before the concert

   "Wow, Pujie boy, do you have to be so vicious!"

   Snatching away the microphone, Jay Chou said speechlessly.

  Xu Xin rolled his eyes:

   "Don't cross the river and tear down the bridge. I didn't know anyone back then, so I begged her: Hey, honey, tomato and egg noodles, okay? I really want to eat it, don't put a drop of water..."

   His mouth was covered again, Jay Chou looked distraught:

   "Please, don't talk about things at home!"

   "Goose goose goose goose goose... oh, you two stop fighting. Where's Guo Caijie? Why didn't you see her?"

  Looking around, Yang Mi asked puzzledly after not finding the guitar girl.

   "Well, she's in the waiting room... Didn't you meet her?"

   "No. As soon as we heard that you were rehearsing here, we came here directly."

   "...Hey, Dani, call her here."

   After giving orders, Jay Chou said to Xu Xin with a milk tea straw in his mouth:

   "It's just right, Ah Xin, she is so nervous, tell me about her later. She was out of tune during the rehearsal just now~ just like that night."

  Hearing this, Xu Xin froze for a moment, then nodded:

   "Okay... it's better to exercise less and take it slowly in the future. Is she tonight's guest?"

"Well, this time it's mainly to praise her... Oh yes. Ziqi will also come, that's it. She will sit next to you, and tonight I will add a fan singing session, and then I will choose her. She will Sing "Tornado" with me, see what I mean?"

   "...Who is Ziqi?"

  Xu Xin was a little puzzled.

  This time it's Jay Chou's turn to be speechless:

   "Shiying! Please, isn't that your name?"

   "...?"

  Hearing this, Xu Xin was puzzled at first, but immediately remembered the content of the chat after he came out of Deng Shiying's house that night, and nodded:

   "Remember... did you change your name directly?"

"Well, I think Deng Ziqi's name sounds good, so I changed my stage name. After the contract takes effect next year, I will start to prepare her album... But it may not be too soon. Next year, A Cai will have another album, and I will have another album. Zhang... Then I plan to take a rest."

"Um."

  Xu Xin responded, and then Jay Chou continued:

   "Then you go to the back and wait first? Or watch my rehearsal?"

  Zhang Qianqian definitely wanted to watch the rehearsal, so Yang Mi said directly:

   "Where do we sit at night?"

   "Here it is."

  Pointing to the VVVVVVIP seat closest to the stage, after Jay Chou finished speaking, Yang Mi said to Zhang Qianqian:

   "Sister-in-law, let's sit there and wait for a while?"

"Um."

  Xu Xin didn't leave, he was waiting for Guo Caijie.

   And Jay Chou turned his head and said to the two female backup dancers:

   "The part just now is fine, you guys take a break, the next part..."

  What happened at the concert, Xu Xin didn't understand.

  As the stage lights changed, the music sounded again.

  Jay Chou returned to the piano, and the sound of the piano sounded under Zhang Qianqian's excited expression.

  Xu Xin sat on the steps on the stage, waiting for Guo Caijie to arrive.

  At this time, two backup dancers came over.

   One of them greeted very politely:

   "Director Xu Xin, hello."

"Ah hello."

  Xu Xin responded, but as soon as he looked up at the girl, he saw Guo Caijie and Dani out of the corner of his eye.

  So, I didn't even see the girl who greeted me clearly, so I waved:

   "Here, come here."

  Hearing this, Guo Caijie raised her head and subconsciously smiled when she saw Xu Xin.

  But after the piano sound ended, Jay Chou’s voice suddenly came from the speaker:

   "Hey, send a song to some beauties... I want to have a helicopter~ I want to fly to the universe with you..."

   "Oh~~~"

  Yang Mi and Zhang Qianqian cheered.

  Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

  Grandma, you flirt with girls in public, right?

   That's my sister-in-law...

   Who knew Xu Miao was also happy.

   On the contrary, I was quite happy.

   They are all friends, besides, he and Jay Chou are only one year apart in age.

   Seeing him start singing, Xu Xin knew that there was no way to chat here, so he got up and waved to Guo Caijie who had already walked over:

   "Go, let's chat in the aisle."

"Sure."

  Guo Caijie nodded, why did she come up, and why did she go down again.

  What Xu Xin didn't see was that the two female backup dancers whom he hadn't opened his eyes from the beginning to the end looked at each other...

   At the same time, he nodded silently and followed.

   When they reached the exit of the safe passage, the two saw that they were not in the passage, but were walking into the waiting room, and then stopped with regret.

   "Baby, is this director Xu the one who filmed "The Untold Secret"?"

  Listening to the singing of "Lovely Woman" on the stage, a backup dancer asked the companion next to him.

  The backup dancer called "BABY" who just met Yang Mi's eyes and got a smile from Yang Mi nodded:

   "Yes, that's him."

   "...Oh, what a pity."

  The backup dancer whispered regretfully:

   "If Jay Chou found out about him a little later and the director didn't allow us to see our dance, maybe we could get some chances to audition."

   "..."

  The girl called BABY didn't make a sound.

   After glancing at his partner's regretful expression, he silently changed the other party's level from "dance troupe partner" to "competitor" level.

   Then watching the two people walking into the waiting room together, she thought for a while and said:

   "Don't think about it, everyone has left, so there is no chance."

   "Hmm... hey, Yang Mi is very beautiful! Isn't she? So white, with a good figure~"

"yes."

  BABY nodded.

   "And I saw her smile at us just now, and she seems to have a good temper... Do you think we should get to know each other?"

   "..."

  Hearing this, BABY thought for a while and said:

   "How do we know each other? She won't give us any resources. I mean, she's just an actress. Only directors, investors, and producers can give us opportunities. Why are you greeting her?"

"makes sense…"

  The other backup dancer girl nodded, but she didn't seem to give up, and continued:

"It's okay to be a follower. If she's willing to give me a chance, I'll recognize her as the eldest sister. It's good to stay by my side first, and then slowly look for opportunities... and she seems to have a good relationship with Jay Chou... Didn't you read the news, two days ago she got off the plane and was photographed by the paparazzi. Many media are speculating whether she came here specially to watch Jay Chou's concert... Hey, tell me, will they..."

   While chatting, the flames of gossip quickly filled her eyes.

  The girl named BABY also whispered to her, but although she looked excited, her eyes always kept a distant cruising.

   Like a fish looking for prey.

   Soon, she waited for a suitable opportunity.

   "Hey, I'm going to smoke, are you going?"

   "..."

  Baby's gaze immediately became a little embarrassed.

   And the female backup dancer shrugged:

"Okay, I just discovered it too. In the dance we collaborated with just now, I smelled smoke from your hands other than hand cream. You were hanging on Jay Chou's shoulders, and I was lying on his lap The smell of smoke is either yours, or it came from his crotch... Hehehe, it would be even better if it came from there..."

   "...I'm not going, you go."

  Looking at BABY's embarrassed gaze, the female backup dancer nodded casually:

   "Okay, remember to call me if you have anything to do."

"Um."

   And less than two minutes after the other party left, suddenly, she heard Jay Chou's voice over there:

   "Okay, I have another song rehearsal, and then I will go find you."

  The moment she heard this, her instinct immediately made her walk into the stage area. At the same time, she found her schoolbag among the several schoolbags in the corner, and took out her digital camera from it.

  Looking at the few people walking this way, my heart began to beat faster.

   When Yang Mi came over, she quickly stepped forward politely, bowed and said;

   "Hi sister, my name is Yang Ying. I'm your fan. I really like your character. Can I take a photo with you?"

   "Well, yes."

  Yang Mi didn't think much about it.

  Isn’t it normal for actors in Jay Chou’s team to ask for a group photo?

   What's more, the two are still in the same family.

  After Zhang Qianqian and the others heard this, they took a few steps forward and gave way to their seats.

   But Sun Ting didn't leave, she just reached out habitually, meaning that the girl gave her the camera, and she helped to take pictures.

   It is not uncommon for an assistant to do this kind of thing often.

  But this time, I saw that the girl was holding the camera directly, and after getting close to Sister Mimi, she raised her arm.

   is to take pictures by taking selfies.

   If a man comes like this, Sun Ting will definitely not allow it.

  Because it would be too intimate.

   But girl... it doesn't matter.

   She is at the back, Yang Mi is at the front.

   The camera held high.

   "Yeah, Sony's new model? I haven't seen it yet."

  Yang Mi looked at the pink camera and thought it looked pretty.

  Hearing this, Yang Ying quickly nodded:

   "Yes, the new model, released on November 25th, is especially suitable for selfies, and the photos you take are pretty good."

"Ok, Ok."

  Yang Mi thought about going shopping tomorrow.

  Yang Ying raised a V sign next to Yang Mi.

   It's just that her angle is slightly flat compared to the 45-degree selfie, which is very strange.

   There is a "click", and the flashing light turns on.

  After the filming, Yang Ying said happily:

   "Thank you, Miss Mi."

   "Well, it's okay."

  Yang Mi was about to leave after speaking, but at this moment, Yang Ying suddenly said:

   "I'm going to wash it out tomorrow, make a photo frame and put it at home... Sister Mi, I really like you!"

"Well…"

  Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, and her smile became more gentle:

   "Well! Come on!"

   "Thank you, Miss Mimi!"

   "It's okay, it's okay, bye, thank you for your hard work. Come on for the show~"

   After Yang Ying bowed and thanked for a while, Yang Mi responded politely, and then walked into the actor's tunnel.

  Yang Ying, on the other hand, checked the photos on the small screen of the camera after confirming that Yang Mi had left.

  When she saw Yang Mi's extremely fair skin on the screen, she subconsciously looked at herself... I don't know if it's the makeup or what, but her skin looks worse than Yang Mi's by more than one shade.

  Obviously she is also very white, but compared with the other party, she looks like wheat-colored.

   Seeing this, she pursed her lips.

  However, she still clicked the arrow keys on the Sony digital camera and began to zoom in on the photo, but instead of looking at herself and Yang Mi, she looked at Jay Chou who was singing with a microphone behind him.

   After confirming that it was Jay Chou himself that could be seen even from the profile, a gleam of joy flashed in her eyes.

   Then next...

  How can this photo give the most value to myself...

   and… risk.

   It's time to think about it.

  …

  In the waiting room.

   "I still think short hair suits you, really, this kind of bob makes you look very pure...but..."

  Looking at Guo Caijie who was a little embarrassed, Xu Xin narrowed his eyes.

  As a director's intuition, he easily eliminated all unfavorable factors such as natural light and shadows.

  At this moment, his eyes are the lens.

   And how to make them look better in front of the camera, no matter whether it is a singer or an actor, is his basic skill.

  So, after squinting his eyes, he suddenly said:

   "So short."

  He pointed to the spot above his forehead.

  Guo Caijie's expression suddenly became extremely strange.

  Although she has made her debut now and her grades are not bad, but after seeing Xu Xin now, she is still as nervous as she was that night.

  And when she saw that Director Xu asked her not to have bangs...or to cut her hair...as short as a man, the girl's first reaction was to resist. But immediately the courage to resist was dispelled.

   dare not refute...

   dare not resist...

  But it is very contradictory...

  I'm a girl!

  How can you cut your hair so short!

   "Why? Are you not happy?"

   Seeing her expression, Xu Xin was delighted.

   Then, he uttered an inhuman sentence.

   "Then... if you play well tonight, I won't suggest him to redesign your appearance. If you don't play well..."

   "..."

   What kind of devil are you! ?

  ? ? ? ?

   Then, the milky voice sounded:

   "I'm sure to play well! I don't want to cut my hair!"

   "Hahaha~"

  Seeing her puffy appearance, Xu Xin smiled quite happily.

   "Okay, it depends on your performance, the deal is concluded?"

   "...?????"

  Guo Caijie was taken aback.

   When did I make a deal with you?

  Then... When Yang Mi walked in, she saw the little girl who looked like she had been bullied silently huddling in a corner, her eyes were full of a look of help.

   "Cai Cai, what's the matter? Did he bully you?"

  Hearing Yang Mi's words, Xu Xin, who was writing and drawing with a notebook in his hand, rolled his eyes.

   Then came a sentence:

   "Stay in position. Don't move."

  Guo Caijie didn't dare to move again quickly, and continued to sit in the corner, maintaining a slightly sideways posture, but her eyes kept glancing at Yang Mi...

   "...?"

  Yang Mi walked up to Xu Xin wonderingly:

"What are you doing?"

   After finishing speaking, she saw Guo Caijie's pencil portrait on Xu Xin's notepad.

"you…"

  As soon as she opened her mouth, Xu Xin said:

   "Do you remember the last time you said what my hairstyle looks like?"

"…What?"

  Yang Mi put her hand on her boyfriend's hair.

  A short layer of stubble feels pretty good to the touch.

   No amount of touching is enough.

   "Just when you went to Busan."

   "Busan... oh~~~~"

  The girl suddenly realized:

   "Shave your hair. What's wrong?"

   "You explain to her."

  Continue to draw in the notebook. After Xu Xin finished speaking, Yang Mi looked at the girl who was exuding the signal of "weak and helpless, come and bully me".

"Just...his kind of hair, no one in Korea would do it like this, you know? Koreans call this kind of hair shaved, which means shaved hair. Influenced by Confucianism, they believe that the body, hair and skin are damaged by their parents. An unforgivable act of unfilial piety. And if something happens, shaving your hair is equivalent to "declaring your ambition with death". Hey, or Koreans are weird...how handsome."

  Being influenced by her boyfriend, she really can't see those crooked looks with her hair stretched out.

  A man needs such a clean and neat hairstyle, it looks too masculine.

  Especially when hugging each other, wrapping hands around, and masturbating from behind.

  It's like stroking a Labrador.

  It feels great.

   After finishing speaking, she asked wonderingly:

   "Why are you talking about this with Caicai?"

  Xu Xin looked up at Guo Caijie again, continued to trace there, and then said:

   "Did you hear that? If you don't perform well... hehehehe~"

   Guo Caijie shook her head subconsciously, frightened by a series of intrusive laughter:

   "I don't want it! Don't cut my hair! I will sing well! I will! I don't want wow!! You don't come over wow!!"

   "Humph."

  Xu Xin just sneered.

   Yang Mi’s maternity masterpiece:

   "Oh, oh, don't be afraid, I'm here. Don't worry~"

   Sitting next to Guo Caijie, stroking her bob hair, the girl looked like a big sister:

   "Don't worry, the person is in the head! The head can be broken! The hairstyle can't be messed up!"

   "...???"

   Are you comforting me!

  …

   Soon, Jay Chou came back.

   Followed by a person.

   "Hey, Ah Xin, look who's here."

  Hearing this, Xu Xin looked up.

   It turned out to be Deng Shiying... Ah no, Deng Ziqi is here.

   After Deng Ziqi saw Xu Xin, she immediately walked over with a smile:

   "Brother Xu~"

   Xu Xin raised his eyebrows when he heard this name, and was happy.

   "Haha~"

  Look at others.

   How brave.

  Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

   you're looking at you...

   Glancing at Guo Caijie, who was always staring at her with "Are you a devil?", Xu Xin said with a smile:

   "Are you nervous for a while?"

   "Don't be nervous!... I'm a little nervous, but it doesn't matter. I've sung the song "Tornado" many times. Don't be nervous!"

   Indeed, it can be seen from this moment that Guo Caijie and Deng Ziqi are completely different personalities.

  After talking to Xu Xin, Deng Ziqi greeted everyone in the room.

  Including Guo Caijie.

  As the second signed artist, the two have met many times.

   After the rehearsal, Jay Chou was holding milk tea and asked Xu Xin:

   "Hey, why don't you sit down for a while? Are you going to arrange the two of you together in a fair manner?"

   "Put her between us."

  Pointing at Deng Ziqi, Xu Xin said.

  When I came to the concert today, I definitely couldn’t sit with my girlfriend.

   Otherwise it would be too easy to fry.

  The two of them sit together, and there will be a lot of gossip tomorrow.

  And if she doesn’t show up, then Yang Mi comes to Jay Chou’s concert, maybe tomorrow’s scandal will be about her and Jay Chou.

  However, if the trio of "The Unspeakable Secret" appeared at the same time, this would not happen.

   And Deng Ziqi was discovered by him in the first place. If she was placed between the two of them, the scene camera would give the girl more attention.

   In this wave, he won directly.

  Yang Mi also knew this truth, and nodded in the same way:

   "Yes, between the two of us, if the media publishes photos of the two of us, they will definitely bring her with them. In this case, Caicai and Ziqi will have both, it's perfect."

   "Okay, let's just let go and play today."

   Jay Chou said, took a sip of milk tea, then turned to look at Guo Caijie:

   "Are you not nervous anymore?"

  Guo Caijie quickly shook her head.

   Looks the same as Anomaly 099.

   "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous! JAY brother! I will definitely behave well! I don't want to shave my hair!"

"…ah?"

   Jay Chou was taken aback.

   Didn't understand what it meant.

   But Xu Xin sneered:

"huh huh huh huh…"

  …

   Around 7:30, the concert is about to start.

  Yang Mi and the others have already entered the arena early.

   Only Jay Chou and Xu Xin were left in the waiting room.

   Jay Chou’s habit is to give himself some time to relax before the concert.

   Everybody get out.

  Only Xu Xin stayed.

   And Xu Xin didn't pay attention to him, but kept drawing back and forth in his notebook.

  The two are busy with their own affairs.

  Until Xu Xin suddenly tapped his notebook with a pencil.

  Looking at the portrait above, he nodded in satisfaction:

"Um…"

"…What's wrong?"

  Jay Chou, who was closing his eyes and meditating, opened his eyes.

"Give."

  Xu Xin got up and handed him the notebook:

"have a look."

   "What...wow, beauty...huh?"

  Holding the notebook, Jay Chou was stunned, blinked twice, and said:

   "This is...? Huh? This is not..."

"is it nice?"

   "..."

   Jay Chou looked it over carefully, then nodded suddenly:

   "Okay, it's great!...You said earlier that this is the short hair that suits her?"

   "To be exact, it's this kind. Other hairstyles will make her look like a school girl. But this kind of... has a strong aura. After her performance, you can show her. I think it's okay."

"…Sure."

   Jay Chou stared intently at the sketch in the notebook that was exactly the same as Guo Caijie's face, nodded and said with emotion:

   "Boy, you are very talented in drawing~"

   "That's not necessary~"

  Xu Xin is happy.

   looked up at the time and said:

   "Then I'm leaving, come on and perform!"

"rest assured!"

   After walking out of the waiting room, there were already many people in the backstage.

  Xu Xin lowered his peaked cap and walked directly towards the stage.

  There is a staircase over there, which can lead to the bottom.

   And the staff knew him well, so there was no obstacle along the way. And when he reached the end of the passage, he heard a voice:

   "Hi, Director Xu."

  Looking up, he found that it was a group of backing dancers in outrageously dressed clothes. He took a cursory glance and nodded politely:

"Um."

   Then he stepped onto the edge of the stage and glanced in the direction of the auditorium.

people…

a lot of.

  A sea of ​​glow sticks.

   "Tsk."

  He sighed with emotion, and after walking down the steps of the stage, he saw his girlfriend and the others.

  So he walked over quickly and sat next to Deng Ziqi.

  In the bright light, Xu Xin looked around and said to his girlfriend sitting across from Deng Ziqi:

   "There are so many people."

"Um."

  Yang Mi responded and handed over a bottle of drink.

   It's not that ordinary look, but a drink with a wide mouth.

   Something like a pulsation... what is a pulsation?

  He was a little puzzled, but he didn't think too much, and asked:

   "How about serving drinks?"

   "Yeah, when you're done drinking, put the glow sticks in there, like this."

   Yang Mi said, putting the light stick in the bottle into the bottle.

  The light suddenly became brighter.

"Understood."

   After nodding, he looked at Deng Ziqi again:

   "Are you nervous or not?"

   "No...don't be nervous!"

  Today, a make-up artist specially answered for a girl who put on make-up... Let's be firm.

  Xu Xin nodded slightly after listening:

   "Well, sure enough, your mouth is quite hard."

   After waiting for a while, the lights in the audience dimmed.

  Before Xu Xin could react, he heard a burst of cheers.

  Going to start?

   Just thinking about it, because he was sitting in the front row, he saw a group of female backup dancers walking up to the stage.

Then…

   After the prelude, go to the stage to receive the award!

   Not right.

   As soon as the prelude sounded, the concert started.

  SKR~

  The prelude to "Nocturne" sounded, and Jay Chou's figure suddenly appeared from the elevator as a beam of light fell.

   "A group of bloodthirsty ants ~ attracted by carrion..."

  Among the enchanting dancing poses of the two female dancers, Jay Chou’s singing was intertwined with the cheers of the crowd and the waving of light sticks...

  《2007 World Tour - Hong Kong Hung Hom Station》

begin.

   And Xu Xin looked at the female backup dancer on the stage who seemed to have greeted him just now, and was facing Jay Chou's close-fitting female backup dancer, and a thought flashed in his mind.

   Looks familiar...

   But...it doesn't matter.

   "To you~playing Chopin's nocturne~to commemorate my lost love..."

  Whether you are a fan or not.

  That guy on stage, you are very noisy~

   Excuse us for singing~

   Thanks for the reward from the boss, thank you. More sincerity! I also thank the new leader "Foxes don't eat pears", the boss let me wait for a few days, and then write your additions. No default, don't worry.
