I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

   Chapter 301 299. Goodbye Youth (13)

  To tell the truth, a small change of 30,000 yuan is 16 million yuan.

   How much?

   Not many.

  After the box office comes out, the daily income is shared, but it is only five or six million.

  Xu Xin really couldn't see it.

   But the meaning of this money is different.

  The first film history.

  The "first" behind it is of great significance to Xu Xin.

   "The Untold Secret" had a box office of 14.8 million on the first day.

  At that time, although he was equally happy, the dissatisfaction in his heart was still vivid in his memory.

  He knew that he was no match for Director Zhang.

   I also know that compared to other directors, his starting point is already unimaginably high.

But... when he learned that the first-day box office record of a domestic film was less than one million, the unwillingness in his heart, the unwillingness of "just a little bit to get it", made him The memory is still fresh.

   When "The Wind" was released this time, he had already told himself to be calm.

  Gift film, don't think so much.

  Be normal and just be yourself.

   But the problem is that it really came to this point. The reason why the box office on the first day made him worry about gains and losses was that what should come came.

   Can it be surpassed?

   Can it be exceeded?

   This emotion is always brewing in my heart.

  Money, he doesn't care.

   May this first...

he wants!

   I want to be aboveboard, fair and impartial, and get it by my ability!

   And now...

He did it!

  16.03 million.

  He set a new box office record for domestic films on the first day!

   Compared with Zhang Yimou's 15.7 million, it has increased by a full 330,000!

  How many opportunities does a person have in his life to be the number one in the industry?

   And he did!

  Second movie, he did it!

  A sense of excitement from the soul made him shiver violently!

   Then he noticed a warm hand resting on his fist:

   "Brother ~ you are the best!"

   "..."

  Xu Xin didn't say a word.

   Just leaned against the head of the bed, looked at the dark ceiling, and let out a long breath.

   Then, an endless sense of emptiness hits...

  Is this the feeling of being lonely as a master?

   Drawing his sword and looking around in a daze, he thought rather complacently and beyond his capacity.

  Yang Mi huddled in his arms without making a sound.

   Just accompany him silently.

   Until about ten minutes later, Xu Xin said:

"Go to sleep?"

   "Calm down?"

   "Well... I'm still happy in my heart. But you have to go to bed... You have to go to the graduation ceremony tomorrow."

   "What about you?"

   "I will definitely accompany you. How can I rest assured that you go to school by yourself?"

"…Um."

   After Yang Mi responded, she began to arch down.

   She moves very slowly because of her stomach.

  Xu Xin carefully protected her until she lay back to him, and then put his arm under her neck.

  After holding his wife in his arms, he didn't dare to press Yang Mi's body with his other hand, so he could only put it on his body awkwardly.

   It was Yang Mi who took the initiative to put his hand on her stomach:

   "Daddy sleeps with our three babies in his arms~"

"Um…"

   "I am Dabao, and they are Xiaobao."

"Um."

   "Baby, Dad's movie is a success, and we can eat meat tomorrow. Let Dad buy meat for us tomorrow, okay?"

   "...ha~"

  Hearing these witty words, Xu Xin inevitably laughed out loud.

   "Hee hee~"

  Yang Mi arched her back.

  After the belly got bigger, the two of them couldn't hug each other head-on.

   Only in this way can "warm each other".

   "Brother, we are about to enter the society from a campus couple."

   "..."

   This description made Xu Xin not know what to say for a while.

   "I'm about to have a child, or a campus couple?"

  "Isn't it?...I just graduated tomorrow~"

   "Time flies so fast..."

  Xu Xin was a little emotional.

  From the first half semester of my freshman year to my current senior year of graduation.

   "Do you regret it?"

   "Honestly?"

"Um."

   "The thing I probably regret the most is that I didn't meet you in the first half of my freshman year... If I had known you in the first half of the semester, I would have been with you half a year earlier..."

"…hehe."

"hehe?"

"You don't think you're my favorite in the first half of your freshman year, do you? Let me tell you, it's the first time I saw you driving a Ferrari, with a jelly-like head...I scolded you a lot in my heart. The dirt is scum. All…"

   "..."

   "I'm talking... how high-sighted you are, an old man. In the first half of the first semester of junior high school, you fell in love with Yuan Shanshan~ Oh, what kind of kid am I..."

   "Shh, don't talk."

   covered his wife's mouth very simply, and Xu Xin, who still couldn't look directly at his freshman history after so long, said in a low voice:

   "Laugh at the poor but not at the prostitute, you know."

   "..."

   This metaphor is also wonderful.

   "Speaking of which, what did you feel when you saw my classmates today?"

  Yang Mi asked.

  Xu Xin thought for a while, then shook his head:

   "I don't feel anything, including Yuan Shanshan... But I was surprised that I didn't see Bao Wenjing today. I thought she would still come with her boyfriend... Broke up?"

   "I don't know. Anyway, after I sent the invitation text message, she replied that she might not be able to come."

  Yang Mi said and sneered:

   "I guess it's because you didn't ask her husband to audition after you started "The Wind", and you annoyed me? ... She is really interesting."

   "Tsk tsk... this man."

   Sniffing the soothing aroma of his wife, Xu Xin closed his eyes.

   Chatted with her in some ways:

   "Didn't I tell you to leave after the premiere yesterday? Quite a few of your classmates asked for my phone number."

   "Which one was given?"

   "The one Zhang Jiao is holding."

   "Hmm... we have to start planning the celebration banquet, right?"

   "Yes. One in Yanjing, one in Xi'an. For Yanjing, Qinchuan Yashe, right?"

"Let's arrange a second scene. Liu Yifei must be planning to chat with me this time, and I will call Zhao Liying over tomorrow. People like Lin Gou and baby will be together by then. Take them to experience the joy of the celebration banquet together." Atmosphere, and then arrange a team building activity for the second round, such as finding a place to sing a song or something, and everyone should get to know each other well. At that time, I will bring Liu Yifei..."

   "...Then are you going to participate?"

   "Participate. But I don't play too late..."

   "But these people smoke..."

"Well…"

  After being silent for a while, Yang Mi said:

   "Then I'll go over there for a face-to-face meeting and leave. You let the wheels bring Alang and Abao here. We are all young people. It's OK to have them active."

   "Okay~... By the way, what is Liu Yifei going to do when he comes to you this time? Will he join you?"

   "That's not the case. I think I want to know more clearly... But I don't plan to tell her too much."

   "Why?"

   "There is no need to talk about it at this stage. The difficulty is not with her, nor with Chen Jinfei, but with Aunt Liu. She means that she wants me to give her advice..."

   "We can't do this."

"Yes, after all, they are the mother and son. How could I let her quarrel with Aunt Liu in order to get her? It's unrealistic. The mother and daughter have nothing to deal with. After everyone calms down, didn't I become The one who is the least thing? So tomorrow I will not say anything to her. To regain her freedom... she can only rely on herself."

"Um…"

  The two of them just talked like this, the more they talked, the slower the other party's response became.

slowly…

   Just fell into dreamland.

  …

   "The box office of "The Wind" is released on the first day, aspiring to be the number one throne in film history!"

   This was the news that received the most attention in the entertainment industry early in the morning on June 13.

  Although this title is full of the taste of the title party.

  But if you think about it carefully, you will find that there is nothing wrong with what you said.

  The box office of 16.03 million is indeed the first in film history to win the box office on the first day.

   Coincidentally, today is the graduation ceremony of the 05 students of Beijing Film Academy, and Yang Mi must attend, so early in the morning, countless reporters squatted at the gate of the Beijing Film Academy.

   Waiting to interview Xu Xin and Yang Mi.

  Business car.

   "Brother Xu, I have already replied to all the congratulatory text messages from the work account."

  Hearing Zhang Jiao's words, Xu Xin, who was sitting in the back row of the Volvo, responded, and turned to look at Yang Mi, who has not been in a very beautiful mood since this morning...

  Yang Mi grinned after feeling his gaze:

   "What are you looking at! Be careful!"

   "..."

  Xu Xin hesitated for a second, and turned his head embarrassingly.

  Everything was fine.

   But the temper of a pregnant woman... like the face of a baby in June.

   It was sunny one second, but it collapsed the next second.

  It's been a long time since her belly has been big...Yang Mi herself doesn't think there's anything wrong.

   It's fine even when I go out.

   But as she walked, she suddenly began to complain about Xu Xin:

   "It's all your fault! My graduation photo is about to have a big belly! It's so ugly! It's all your fault! You stretch out your hand and let me take a bite... no, three bites!"

   Then Xu Xin, who had three teeth marks on his arm, couldn't be coaxed well...

never mind.

  Be patient.

  The sky and the earth are big, but our baby's mother is the biggest.

   Cheng Hu, who was driving, said at this time:

   "Mr. Xu...has a reporter."

  Xu Xin stretched his head and glanced at the school gate in front of him. Sure enough, both sides were full of reporters.

  However, on the day of Beiying’s graduation every year, reporters or scouts will come to watch, so the school doesn’t have to do nothing. The fence has been installed early.

   And the security guards also stood on both sides.

   "Stop the door, you are leaving after the two of us go in."

  Cheng Hu nodded:

"good."

   Soon, two Volvos stopped at the school gate and turned on their double flashing lights.

   Seeing these two Volvos, the reporter immediately became agitated and frantically rushed to the side of the car.

  They know the two cars.

  Xu Xin and Yang Mi's car!

   But they know each other, and so does the security guard.

  So, under the command of the security captain, a group of people immediately began to build a human wall, blocking the reporters outside the human wall.

  Then, Cheng Hu and Xu Xin got out of the car at the same time, went to Yang Mi's side, and helped Yang Mi who was wearing sunglasses to get out of the car.

  The reporter became more restless.

   "Director Xu! Do you have anything to say about the box office record breaking on the first day of "The Wind"?"

   "Yang Mi, Yang Mi, can I accept the interview!"

   "When is the expected date of delivery? Where is the hospital chosen? Can you answer?"

  The moaning reporters asked all kinds of questions, but neither of them answered. They just cautiously walked Yang Mi into the school with Sun Ting and Wu Qiqi behind.

  The security guards tried their best to maintain order, and they didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Yang Mi and Xu Xin entered the school gate.

   Sun Ting thanked the security captain politely, and entered the school gate together with Wu Qiqi.

   Cheng Hu and Zhang Jiao drove to the parking lot respectively.

   It's very hot.

  Xu Xin took the sun umbrella handed over by Sun Ting, supported his wife himself, and they walked towards the main building together.

  Graduation photos were taken in front of the main building next to the playground.

  Walking on this road, he heard his wife say:

   "I'm finally graduating..."

   "No. Thinking about it now, when I first met you, it seemed like yesterday..."

   "I still remember when I liked watching you play basketball..."

   "Well... after coming out of the basketball court, we also like to take a walk here. But we haven't confirmed the relationship at that time..."

   "But you already like me, right?"

"Well…"

"Um?"

  Feeling Xu Xin's hesitation, a knife swished out of Yang Mi's eyes, and flew over to wipe Xu Xin's ear.

   Scared Xu Xin nodded quickly:

   "Yes, yes, from the first time I saw you, I fell in love with you old man!"

"Um…"

  That's more or less the same.

  The contented Miss Yang let out a satisfied hum.

   Then when she got to the main building, she looked around... suddenly pointed to the basketball court:

   "Go. Go and perform a fadeaway jumper for Miss Ben! The sound of iron strikes must be rhythmic, you know! If you dare to score a goal, Triple Kaiouken will warn you!"

   "..."

  What are these crazy **** talking about?

  Xu Xin was not happy anymore.

  But...she said what she said.

  The four of them started walking over there.

   Anyway, it's still early.

   Seeing the players, Xu Xin was delighted:

   "Qi Lei."

   "...?"

  Yang Mi heard this address, subconsciously looked up and looked around.

  Where is Mr. Qi?

   "Haha, Xu Xin~"

  Hearing this movement... Yang Mi recalled it in a daze, as if her brother's former roommate had the same name as Mr. Qi.

  So, she sat in the shade next to the basketball hoop, watching Xu Xin and a few people chatting there.

  Anyway, it's still early, so don't rush to the auditorium.

   Too many people, too crowded, too dangerous.

  As for Xu Xin's side, although we have only been together for half a year, we can't talk about feelings...but at this juncture, there is a touch of kindness and nostalgia.

pity.

  The conversation is not much.

  No common language, but full of compliments.

   As for the life after graduating from senior year, Xu Xin could see that although Qi Lei wasn't too confused, he obviously didn't have a sufficient plan.

  So while shooting, Qi Lei would ask Xu Xin as much as possible.

   For example, how to carry out work and the like.

   But I didn't say anything like "Can you help me?"

  Men, it is more or less necessary to save face.

   After playing for a while, Qi Lei asked Xu Xin to go back to the main building.

  But Xu Xin waved his hand and smiled and refused:

   "You can go first, and I won't participate."

"Well…"

  Qi Lei turned his head and glanced at Yang Mi who was sitting in the shade, and nodded:

   "Okay, let's go then... Keep the ball for you? You can't take it away."

   "Haha, okay."

  Xu Xin nodded in response. After taking the basketball, he slapped it and walked to Yang Mi:

   "Shall we go too?"

   "No rush. We're all going that way right now. There are too many people crowded. Let's go over when almost everyone has dispersed... Give me, I'll vote for one."

   "ancestor~"

  Xu Xin quickly shook his head:

   "Forget it."

"…cut."

  Yang Mi curled her lips in disdain:

   "What were you talking about just now?"

   "I didn't talk about anything, just chatted about things after graduation. He asked me if I had any good advice, where to find a job, etc..."

   "How did you answer?"

   "Let it be."

   Proficiently arched his legs, Xu Xin cross-dribbled the basketball from his crotch and said casually:

   "The situation in life is different, so it's not easy for me to give opinions, is it?"

"That's true…"

  Yang Mi responded:

"Actually, thinking about it now, the elimination of our school is quite cruel. We, Chinese opera, and Shanghai opera... can almost be said to support the entire film and television industry, right? But there are only a few actors who can take the lead every year. Most of them may In a few years, they will never be seen again..."

   "Why are you still feeling sentimental?"

  Xu Xin was a little surprised.

"No."

  Yang Mi shook her head:

   "I just think this elimination system is a bit cruel."

   "You can stand and talk without back pain."

  Xu Xin rolled his eyes, held the ball in the posture of praying to Buddha, and his shoulders began to shake up and down non-stop.

   One click at a time, quite rhythmic.

   It's like dancing.

"Now that you have gained a firm foothold in this circle, you have time to be sentimental about these things... But think about it, if we are just ordinary little actors, what about the little director? While you are complaining about cruelty, you may also think: become famous There are so many people here, why can't it be me?...Right?"

   "Who told you what I meant?"

  Yang Mi rolled her eyes speechlessly...but she was immediately attracted by her lover's strange movements.

"What are you doing?"

   "Playing ball, yo, yo, the cool morning dew wets the black dress, and the foggy father is whispering on the slate..."

  Watching him shrugging his shoulders while singing "In the Name of the Father", Yang Mi said sincerely:

   "You are really weird, you are already a father, and you have no formality at all."

   "Hey~"

  Xu Xin smiled and took two steps forward, standing in front of the three-point line.

   "Do you think I can score this goal?"

   "Come in, our careers will be big in the future!"

"Well…"

  Xu Xin was a little surprised:

   "It's so big?... Isn't it close?"

   "In the future, our business will be Changhong!"

   "Haha~Sly little fox~"

  Xu Xin smiled.

   "Crack, crack, crack..." rhythmic basketball slaps sounded.

  In Yang Mi's eyes, after taking a few shots of the basketball, the elder brother suddenly jumped up high, made a very standard and handsome shooting action with both hands, and threw the ball in his hand.

  The basketball draws a perfect parabola in midair...

  Hollow into the net.

   "Shua!"

   "Yeah~~~~~"

  Unconsciously, she cheered and flapped her hands like a seal.

   cheering, touting, encouraging:

   "Brother is the best! He's so handsome! One more, one more!"

   "Haha, OK!"

  Running directly to pick up the ball, after using all kinds of dazzling dribbling methods, it was another high fadeaway jumper.

   "Boom!"

   "It's okay! My brother is still the best! Come on, come on!"

   "...hahahaha~"

   "Boom!"

"fine…"

   "Shua..."

   "Yeah~~~"

  He threw the ball and was handsome.

  The woman sitting under the shade of a tree with a puffy belly cheered him on with a beautiful smile.

   Talking and laughing.

   After arguing for a while, Xu Xin, who was slightly out of breath, said:

   "Let's go?"

   "Hmmm... let's vote for one last."

  Yang Mi leaned back, put her hands on the seat, and said with her belly out.

"good."

  Xu Xin responded, planning to make a spot free throw.

   While he was getting ready, Yang Mi, who was about to look up, squinted her eyes stimulated by the sunlight that pierced through the shade of the tree because her stomach puffed out.

   showed an unusually comfortable expression.

  At this moment, the weather is not too hot.

   On this day, I will bid farewell to my alma mater.

   On this sunny summer day, under the shade of the trees, in the colorful light and shadow, she squinted her eyes comfortably, enjoying the tranquility.

until…

   "Have I voted?"

  The voice brought her attention back.

  Looking down, the basketball drew a beautiful parabola again...

   "Shua!"

  Hollow into the net.

  The clear voice is like a breeze.

   Blowing across the entire playground.

   Blowing past the tower of ivory we are about to say goodbye to.

  That is the youth that each of us will eventually lose.
