I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 338 336. Not very convenient...

   "Tsk, I really have to admit that men play with real flowers."

  Accompanied by Yang Mi's emotion, Xu Xin rolled his eyes, and directly handed the phone to Xu Zhi:

   "Come on, explain to her how the forty-something old rich woman you saw back then started a cement mixing plant with a handsome young man in her arms."

   "I'm talking a fart. Don't mention it, I'm going to feel sick when I mention it."

  Xu Zhi just turned around and left:

   "You can sleep at home by yourself, I have something to do, so go out for a while."

   "Are you coming back tonight?"

"Not coming back."

   "..."

   While Xu Xin was speechless, the seventh young master of the Xu family was about to go out with a Lamborghini car key.

   "Wait a minute!"

   "What?"

   "Are you a melon? Go out in a Lamborghini? You can pull a girl! You drive a bigger one, you can pull four or five girls!"

   "...It has to be you, Sanjin!"

  Xu Zhi gave a thumbs up:

"clever!"

   Xu Xin rolled his eyes and watched Fa Xiao leave, and then said:

   "When do you plan on going to bed?"

   "Well, for a while, if you don't call me, I'm going to sleep after finishing this novel... Why did Xu Zhi go?"

   "I don't know, probably some little girl who hooked up?"

   "Tsk tsk..."

  Yang Mi on the other end of the phone was very emotional again, and then:

   "So, that girl is pretty?"

   "Not as pretty as you."

   "Hmph, I'm telling you the truth."

   "Actually, that's the case. But my behavior tonight may make them think that I am interested in that girl, and I am very annoying."

   "Don't be afraid. We haven't done anything wrong, as long as we can live up to our conscience."

  Yang Mi's voice is full of tenderness of approval:

"My brother is the kindest...Although I have never been a model, I can guess just from your description. The feeling of forcing a smile on the face of the scene must be uncomfortable...I just follow you. If it is really me Fighting on my own, maybe I am worse than them~ When I see you...I might be pitiful...Director Xu~you can save them, okay~"

  Her voice is milky.

   Now, Xu Xin got goosebumps when he pinched again.

   Some speechless:

   "Can you have a nice chat?"

   "Hee hee~...Why don't we talk? I still read novels."

   "... What novel are you reading again?"

   "33 Days of a Broken Relationship: A Novel, or Guide."

   "What the hell? Why are the titles of the books you read getting weirder?"

   "Oh, you don't understand, but it's interesting. This book... this year's hit. I've already asked someone to buy the copyright..."

   "...buy again!?"

  Perhaps Xu Xin's tone is a bit high, and the pregnant woman is not happy:

   "What's wrong? Do you think I spend money?"

   "Uh...that's not true. I was just wondering...what are you buying these things for?"

"Get ready to shoot, even if I can't shoot now, I'll keep it up first. Let me tell you, this feeling is great. I'm like that kind of... a hamster, eh, a cute little squirrel~ just me I found these acorns, hazelnuts, walnuts and pistachios, etc. When I met them, I would move them back to the tree hole. Then when winter came, I would lie on these foods... oh, so happy~”

   "That means you are a collector?"

"Well, maybe?... Otherwise, you see, I don't have any other hobbies. Since we met, I like reading novels and playing games. It's just a few hobbies... And let me tell you about my ultimate goal, shall I? "

"What?"

   "One of the recent goals is to become a shareholder of Qidian or Jinjiang Novel Website... I have a few novels that I feel are particularly good, and they have been discontinued. Do you understand?"

   "I... don't understand very well, what's wrong with the update?"

"Grandma's a leg! I haven't read it yet, so you dare to break the update?! I bought shares and became a shareholder, so I'll find the author. Crack, I'll call it out if I have a big mouth! Sun thief, said, To write or not to write! Not to write? Freeze your manuscript fee! Sue you! Hire eighteen big men to lock you up in a small dark room to watch you! If you can’t finish writing 100,000 words a day, if you dare to go out, I will interrupt you! "

   "..."

  Hearing Yang Mi's indignant tone, Xu Xin was filled with absurdity for a moment:

"That's it?"

   "That's right! Why? If you say stop the update, you will stop the update? Kill you!"

   "..."

   "When I become a shareholder, as long as I like to read novels, I dare to throw the author into the largest local Nantong Club! Let him enjoy the life he deserves!"

"Well…"

  Xu Xin opened his mouth...

   I was speechless for a long time.

   Well... good **** good reason.

   "Okay. Then keep watching...don't stay up too late, I'll be back tomorrow afternoon."

   "Well~ come back, I've obviously felt something is wrong these days. It's estimated that the goods will be unloaded~ Boss, please come back and settle the freight."

   "..."

  The matchmakers really dare to say anything.

  Shuo grinning.

  But after hanging up the phone, I was relieved.

  In fact, the difficulty of the size of this kind of thing lies in how you grasp it.

  Sometimes, there is no need to say.

  Because the result is the same whether you say it or not, she will not become a trouble or a hidden danger in your life when you play around.

  Go out to play, break up, and we will never see each other again.

   But sometimes it has to be said, because in this kind of drama, these men and women's affairs have become a bond again, and it is one of the basic components of the cooperation between the two parties.

  So this matter has to be made clear, so that there won't be so many troubles in the future.

   It's like what Yang Mi said before.

   It is inevitable for men to go out for entertainment.

   Otherwise, if I don't go out...could I let my sister go out to play with handsome guys?

   That's really a frying pan.

  …

  The morning of the 8th.

   Meeting as usual.

  After two days of meetings, in the afternoon, Xu Xin went to Headwind Entertainment again.

  Seeing Xu Zhi sitting on an office chair, obviously depleted of virtue.

  God knows that Xu Qiye drove a Land Rover out last night and brought a few girls to the hotel.

   Anyway, the status doesn't look good.

  All patrolled around, and the time was almost up. They went back to meet Zhang Wu, and the two boarded the plane back to Yanjing at almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

   Zhang Wu who got off the plane originally said that he would take him to have a drink together, but seeing Xiao Xu's look like an arrow, he let him go.

   After all, it’s time to unload.

   When Xu Xin rushed back to the hospital in a hurry, he heard Yang Mi's phone call as soon as he entered the door:

"I'm in the confinement period, and it will take 45 days... But brother, don't worry, I have been studying the script every day recently, and I have perfected a set of rules of conduct that belong to the second palace. The role understanding is also in it... um Umm...ok...it's okay, let's compete. If I can't be selected, it's because I'm not as good as others...ummm...then I'll die?...Okay, see you, brother."

   "Xu Haofeng?"

"Um."

  Yang Mi nodded, and hooked her fingers at him again.

"what?"

  Xu Xin walked forward wondering.

  I saw the little squirrel lying on the bed sneakingly glanced at the door first, and then said:

   "You let me try the reaction."

   "What reaction?"

   "Don't talk nonsense, come closer."

  Unknown why, Xu Xin took another step forward, and then his face suddenly turned green...

   "Hiss~"

"…Um."

  Feeling the rapid changes of the four seasons, the little squirrel nodded in satisfaction:

   "Don't worry, I didn't steal it."

   "Crazy you! I have goosebumps~"

   "What are you afraid of? I practice Baguazhang and not Dragon Claw Hand..."

   "That's scary too."

   "Hey~"

   Satisfied and over an addiction, she said:

   "Our dad and the others have gone to Miyun."

   "Why did you go?"

   "Catch the chicken."

   "... Anti-pornography and anti-illegals?"

   "..."

  Yang Mi tilted her head, speechless:

   "Sometimes your brain circuit is very clear, I found out. They went to collect old hens, the kind of rural domestic chickens, the kind of stew to mend people."

"Well…"

  Pushing the suitcase aside, picked up the laptop on Yang Mi's desk, Xu Xin responded:

   "Where's my dad?"

   "I went together. I didn't feel relieved until I knew you were back... I have been in some pain for the past few days. I just finished the examination in the morning. It may start to go into labor in the next two days. I can't leave."

"Um…"

  Xu Xin responded, took her laptop and logged into the VS account.

   Then I saw a page of results with each winning and losing.

   "Are you sure you're not tired from playing games?"

  He pointed at the record chart on the computer with a half-smile.

  Yang Mi showed embarrassment on her face:

   "Hey... I haven't played much... It's mainly boring."

   "You are about to become an Internet addicted girl."

   "I like this name... After unloading, I'm still that cute and beautiful girl who is invincible in the universe!"

   "...tsk~"

  Tired from the business trip, he threw the notebook aside, leaned on the bed and let out a long breath.

   "Whew... What about "The Legend of Zhen Huan"? Have we talked about it yet?"

   "Well, sister Zeng went to sign the contract."

   "What are you going to do with that Tianyu person?"

"Keep the status quo. Now I don't want to deepen cooperation with Hunan TV. If there is a drama or something in the future, I can consider it. Their own plate is too tight, and anyone who enters has to follow their model. I want them to change , You have to have enough capital. So... read it again... oh yes, let me tell you, the advertisements for the start of the "Voice" team competition have all been sold."

"How many?"

"Originally, the factory asked me to discuss to see if it could be compressed into 100 seconds...I didn't agree. It was still 1,200 meters per second, and the average price rose to 18,000. Now the ratings have broken 4, so far Look... This year's variety show champion should be Shantai. I don't want to set the price so high that others will say that I start from the ground, so I set such a price. When the second season comes, everything is to prepare in advance and negotiate in advance At that time, it will go up again. The factory also agreed."

   "Eighteen thousand...including the finals?"

"Yes, including the finals. The finals are voted by the audience on site and selected by 49 media outlets. Bidding is now on. At that time, I will put up an advertising space next to each of the judges. The current price is 500,000 yuan per position. Brother You have to help me contact the Bird's Nest~ about the "The Strongest Voice" concert after the finals."

   "Okay~~What else?"

   "There is nothing else... Only Liu Yifei's movies are left."

   Mentioning this, Xu Xin also frowned slightly.

  The script of "Deal" has been published in the second edition.

   But he was still not very satisfied.

  The story line is still fragile and full of deliberation.

  In other words, the story limitation of this theme limits the storyline of the entire script. As a result, no matter what the plot is, it seems full of deliberation.

   It made him hard too.

   After thinking about it, he said:

   "I'll watch "The Hawthorn Tree" when the time comes. Although... Intuitively, I really don't think she's suitable for Jingqiu. I won't give up on "Trade", I'm thinking about how to do it."

"Um…"

   After chatting about work, it was time for dinner.

   Soon, the little nurse came over to monitor Yang Mi's fetal heart rate and measure her blood sugar.

  As for the two of them, listening to the sound of two powerful beating hearts that "chug and chug" in their stomachs is like the sound of heaven.

  After a nutritious meal, Xu Xin began to ponder over the topic of "Bite of the Tongue".

  Strive to make this topic as perfect as possible.

   At the same time, he had to prepare his graduation thesis.

  He has decided on the title of the dissertation, which is called "Research on the Expression Technique of Light, Shadow and Color in Lens Language".

  The entry point is his favorite and best lens language structure.

  His style has already begun to take shape after the completion of two films.

  Others say that he is like Director Zhang, who has a special obsession with light and shadow. But from the bottom of his heart, he felt that he should only have learned the shape of Director Zhang, but not the spirit.

  But Director Zhang's "God" is not suitable for him.

  Because it is different from Director Zhang’s pursuit of the ultimate aesthetics in every frame, he prefers to help the audience structure the actor’s heart through light and shadow colors, including some special props, or details and lens language.

   It is not even necessary for the audience to understand what their lens is trying to express.

  It is only necessary for the audience to feel reasonable when the characters in his movies do something, or when the plot takes a sudden turn. This is his pursuit.

  For example, it's like Martin Scorsese's camera, Robert De Niro's Jimmy in the movie "Goodfellas".

   There is no need for too many character descriptions, only specific scenes and specific shots are needed to help the audience through Robert De Niro's performance to conclude that the character "Morrie" is already a dead man.

  He is pursuing this style.

From "Secret" to "The Wind", his pursuit has always been to integrate with the actors' acting skills through various arrangements under his lens, whether it is light and shadow effects or others, so that the audience can understand the inner activities of the characters without words. The result of what you are thinking and wanting to do.

  In his world, no matter the actors, props, lights, or scenes under the camera...all serve the film.

   And there is only one purpose to serve the film, and that is to immerse the audience in their own stories.

  He hopes that when audiences come to the cinema to choose a movie, they don’t come for a certain actor.

   It was directed at him, at him as the director.

  So, a replica of good students and bad students was staged in the ward.

   After Yang Mi finished her meal, Xu Xin walked around with her and chatted about "Gong Er" and then returned to the house, where she started playing games.

  Xu Xin, on the other hand, took a few materials in his hand, whether it was a documentary or a thesis, and used a cross-inspiration method to complete his studies and work step by step.

   until the evening rest.

   While resting, the two heard the baby crying from outside the door.

   Another little life was born and came to this world.

"elder brother…"

"Um?"

   "Come here and hug me to sleep?"

"good."

  Xu Xin got out of bed, came to her bed cautiously, leaned sideways against her back, and patted her waist gently.

  Start putting her to sleep.

   "You said the sound just now was a boy or a girl?"

   "It sounds very loud, it should be a boy?"

   “…so do you want a boy or a girl?”

   "I want girls, boys are so naughty."

   "Cut~daughter slave~"

   "Hey~"

  In the dark room, accompanied by Xu Xin's gentle pats, she slowly fell asleep.

  …

"Already sold it?"

The producer of "Longing", the screenwriter of "Big Sabbath", the co-director of "Yanjing People in New York", the producer of "Happiness is Like a Flower", the famous domestic director Zheng Xiaolong held the phone with a blank face :

   "When I asked two days ago, didn't you say that you still have it? ... When did you sell it?"

  Hearing his words, Xiao Bin who was opposite said a little embarrassedly:

   "Director Zheng, I'm really sorry. It was just sold yesterday..."

"yesterday?"

"Um."

   “…to whom?”

"this…"

  Xiao Bin hesitated for a moment before saying:

"If it was someone else, I would definitely not say it. But since Director Zheng asked, I definitely can't hide it. Because Shuangwei Entertainment's price is the most suitable, it has already signed a copyright contract with us. At present, the copyright of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has already been released. We arrived at Yang Mi and Director Xu."

   "Yang Mi...???"

  Zheng Xiaolong was even more confused.

   "Yes, all the copyrights belong to her. Moreover, Director Xu personally came to Shanghai to discuss this business. Sincerity is great, and the cooperation has been reached."

  Hearing Xiao Bin's words, Zheng Xiaolong thought for a while and asked:

   "Are they planning to shoot?"

   "This...sorry, Director Zheng, I don't know either. After all, our website is only the copyright owner. If they want to bid, they will also contact the author to discuss, not us."

   "...Okay, I see. Thank you, Manager Xiao."

   "You are welcome, Director Zheng."

  Hung up the phone, Zheng Xiaolong looked at the several hardcover copies of "The Harem: The Legend of Zhen Huan" in his study, and there was only one emotion in his heart, that is, speechlessness.

   It's not that he felt speechless by Yang Mi's behavior, but that he was speechless because of himself.

   This novel... has been out for a long time.

   Around 2007, he knew about this novel.

  His wife, Wang Xiaoping, is a lover of online novels, perhaps because she is also a screenwriter. During that time, she was particularly interested in novels with time-traveling themes that emerged from online novels.

   Then one day, I suddenly recommended this book "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to myself for myself to read.

   At first he refused.

  The reason why I rejected it at first was because I thought it was also a time-travel novel.

   Although he got an explanation later, he lost interest when he heard the word "Gong Dou".

   Then it dragged on and came to this year.

   Just last month, he suddenly saw a piece of news that a girl from Sichuan and Chongqing chose to commit suicide by jumping into a well because she was addicted to novels, hoping to travel back in time.

   Zheng Xiaolong doesn't know whether this girl has time-traveled or not.

   But he knows...

   She died.

This news made him feel that as a director, and as the first batch of pioneers of Chinese TV dramas, after seeing these chaos, it is necessary to provide everyone with a critical way of thinking to look at whether it is novels or TV dramas. thing.

  Although he also knows that this is an accident, no matter what it is about Gongdouju or time travel novels, it should not be characterized because of an accident.

   There should be no fluke mentality, thinking that it is just an example.

  So, after telling his wife about these thoughts in his heart, when his wife heard that he wanted to use a "critical angle" to make a movie, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was re-recommended to him.

   It took less than a month to read the novel, and he immediately felt that he had some ideas in his mind, and the subject matter really met his requirements.

  So he contacted the copyright owner immediately.

  After hearing that several companies were vying for the copyright of this work, he immediately quoted his price.

  He has seen this kind of thing a lot, regardless of whether it is true or not, the copyright owner wants to use this excuse to raise the price, it is certain.

   And at this time, don't show a very impatient look.

  Because the more impatient you are, the more room you will give the other party to bid.

  So, according to the habit, he decided to treat the other party coldly for a few days.

   I didn't expect...

  The cold treatment turned out to be yourself?

  Yang Mi... bought this novel?

  For this famed Four Little Stars...

  Zheng Xiaolong narrowed his eyes and recalled her works he had seen.

   Trying to spot an overlapping character figure.

  But thinking over and over again, I always feel that the other party is too beautiful.

  Just a face is enough to bring disaster to the country and the people.

   To travel back to the harem, she must be the first to be thrown into the well.

   Can't help shaking his head secretly.

   No, it conflicts with the person he expected.

  But now the copyright is in the hands of the other party, if you want to shoot...

   Tut.

  …

   "Doctor! Hurry up! Her stomach suddenly started to hurt! Hurry up!"

  Xu Xin, who was standing at the door, pointed to the room while urging:

   "Take a look!"

  Hearing this, the respected Professor Sun and the two attending physicians nodded quickly.

   "Fetal heart rate first...how do you feel now?"

   "It's just... the feeling of being kicked in the crotch..."

  Yang Mi's face was a little pale, and Xu Xin was holding her hand tightly beside her.

   "The kind of pain...suddenly started to hurt...I...doctor, am I...shouldn't be eating that ice cream..."

  There are still four circles of Yili that have not been eaten on the cabinet table next to her.

  Hearing this, although he knew that contractions might start, Professor Sun still said kindly:

"It's okay, it has nothing to do with that. This is normal for you...Mr. Xu, you go out first, we are going to do an examination on the patient. This time the examination will be a little painful, if you hear the pain outside, please don't worry , is a normal phenomenon. You might as well call Miss Yang and your family to accompany you."

   "I...can't stay?"

  Looking at Yang Mi whose complexion suddenly turned pale, Xu Xin said in a rather bewildered manner.

  Professor Sun shook his head:

"not very convenient."

  Hearing this... Yang Mi pursed her lips, turned her head and said softly to her husband who was holding her hand:

   "Brother, you go out. I'm fine, you call our dad and tell them to come... I'm fine, I've discussed it with them~"

"…good!"

  Although Xu Xin knew she was trying to be brave, and looked at his wife's pale face while clutching the phone, he still responded, and then whispered to the doctors:

   "Please, everyone."

  Professor Sun nodded and waved to the nurse:

   "Push it into the examination room first."

  Xu Xin took one last look at his pale wife, his eyes full of worry.

  The pale Yang Mi showed an unusually sunny smile and waved to him.

   seems to say:

"don’t worry."

  Until Xu Xin walked out of the room...

   "Dudu... Hey, Sanjin! Don't rush me, I'm killing a chicken!"

   "Dad... Mimi suddenly started to have a stomachache."

   "What!?"

  Xu Daqiang's voice suddenly became tense.

  But right now...

   "Huh... well, well."

   His voice calmed down again and he said in a deep voice:

   "Put your mind at ease first, did you hear me? We'll get over it right away. Don't panic, they are all the best doctors! Don't be afraid, let's get over it! Calm down, calm down, you know?"

   "Hoo..."

   Following his father's words, he also began to take a deep breath.

   Then he responded:

   "Hmm... Got it. Hurry up~"

"good."

   Beep.

  The phone hangs up.

   And at this moment, I don't know if it was an illusion or what...Xu Xin heard a painful cry...

  …

   "Miss Yang, the state you are currently experiencing is called uterine contractions, and you are speaking. This process will start with labor pains and will last for a while. Don't be afraid, this is a normal phenomenon, and it is also a process of our preparation for childbirth..."

   "Hiss~~~...OK."

  Yang Mi, who was covered in cold sweat, nodded, shiveringly pulled out the paper towel beside her, and wiped the cold sweat off her face...

   "Doctor... Please stop for a few minutes... Don't go out yet. Let me take a breath... I don't want him to worry... He shouldn't have heard me just now, right?"

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

  Hearing this, the doctors and nurses didn't even know what to say.

   What time is it?

  Can you let go of your mutual understanding?

  But the patient made a request, and Professor Sun nodded slightly, but his eyes were a little appreciative.

  This mentality... really doesn't look like an ordinary girl.

  So, she ordered:

   "Start recording contractions."

  Hearing this, the nurse next to her quickly took out her notebook and checked her watch:

   "Miss Yang, tell me about your pain interval...remind me when it hurts."

"…Um."

  The room fell silent.

  Yang Mi pursed her lips and waited for a while, then said:

   "It hurts."

   "..."

  The nurse quickly started recording in the notebook.

   While writing down, check the table.

   "It hurts."

   "It hurts."

   "It hurts..."

"Jingle Bell…"

  Suddenly, the phone rang.

  Yang Mi glanced at it, seeing an unfamiliar number.

   I didn’t care about it.

continue…

   "It hurts...it hurts...it hurts..."

   After about thirty seconds, the nurse nodded:

   "All right."

"…Um."

  Finally, some blood color returned to her face, she thought about it and thought it was a distraction.

  So picked up the phone:

   "Hello, who is this?"

   "Hello, Ms. Yang, I am director Zheng Xiaolong."

   "Uh... "Longing"?"

"Yes."

"…ah?"

  Yang Mi, whose face was still a little pale, froze for a moment, and asked subconsciously:

   "Director Zheng, do you have anything to do with me?"

   "That's it, Ms. Yang, the copyright of "Harem: The Legend of Zhen Huan", I heard from Manager Xiao in Jinjiang that it has been sold to your company?"

"Well…"

  Yang Mi seemed rather speechless, and whispered:

   "Director Zheng, this matter... can we talk about it later?"

"…after?"

   Zheng Xiaolong was also taken aback.

"right."

  Yang Mi responded and said:

   "I...have a baby..."

   "..."

   Ask for a monthly pass!
