I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 375 373. Stealing vegetables and steel balls

  First reaction: Are the matchmakers crazy? Randomly climb relatives.

  Return to Aunt Zhao...Why is her face so big.

  Second reaction: She knew me, and asked me to call her aunt... Could it be...

   Suddenly he seemed to realize something, and asked tentatively:

   "You and my father..."

   "Daqiang and I are friends."

  This old lady... No, after Aunt Zhao said it, Xu Xin nodded and said with some embarrassment:

   "Huh?...Isn't it appropriate to call you aunt? You look at most in your early thirties..."

  The moment Zhao Xinyu heard this, he smiled brilliantly.

  But Zhang Jiao, who was standing behind Xu Xin, had goosebumps.

  Brother Xu...Although I know that you are sometimes a good-looking person who talks nonsense when you see people.

  But this...how did you say it!

  As a woman's intuition, Zhang Jiao has already guessed the age of these two people.

  Around 40 years old.

  Your words forcibly wiped out the ten-year gap...

   To use a buzzword on the Internet...

   "You really have smacked your mouth with honey."

  Beer sweet.

   Everyone panicked.

   And Zhao Xinyu, who seemed to be very happy to be said by this sentence, smiled and said:

   "You kid... you have a really sweet mouth. No wonder he keeps boasting every time you mention you when you're chatting with him."

  As soon as this sentence was finished, Xu Xin began to murmur about her relationship with the old man.

  Looking at it...should be very familiar.

  A good friend?

   If you want to talk about the old man, he is good everywhere, but you rarely tell him about your contacts or resources.

  Everything you do is "having a friend", "a friend", "a friend is doing it" and the like.

   Then usually after the matter is done, talk to yourself.

  The intermediate process or how to go through some links are simply ignored...

   So much so that Xu Xin's grasp of his father's connections is really quite pale.

  So for a while, I really can't guess the extent of the relationship between these two people.

   At this moment, after Zhao Xinyu finished speaking, he glanced at the venue again and said directly:

   "Let's leave a phone call. Your dad just came back two days ago. Make an appointment in these two days. You and Mimi come to Auntie to sit down."

   "Uh... good."

  As soon as Xu Xin finished speaking, Zhang Jiao quickly took out his cell phone.

   "Aunt Zhao, tell me, I will remember you."

   "Hmmm. 139..."

   Zhang Jiao behind listened to this string of mobile phone numbers, her eyes were a little straight.

  Better than Brother Xu’s?

   After saving her cell phone, Xu Xin called her again.

  One of the two assistants over there quickly handed over the phone.

  Zhao Xinyu looked at it and nodded:

   "Okay, let's go in. Where are you sitting?"

   "I'm sitting in the second row."

   "Yo? Such a coincidence? What date?"

  Seeing that she was also sitting in the second row, Xu Xin moved his eyes and said:

"number 11."

   "Yeah, how many distances are there between us? I'm on the 25th. Alright, let's go in first. It won't be good if we're late."

   Saying that, several people walked over there together.

  Zhang Jiao and the others couldn't follow, and Zhao Xinyu returned the phone to the assistant while walking.

  But Xu Xin didn't.

   It was just adjusted to mute and put it in the trouser pocket.

  At this time, Xu Xin noticed that these two people were walking, she was in front, and that gaudy old lady named Yang Erche was half a step behind.

  The master-slave status was immediately highlighted.

  Paying attention to these details in his heart, he heard Zhao Xinyu's words:

   "I've watched "The Voice". It doesn't end every season, and I really like it. I saw that Mimi was on stage at the end. She is said to be the director of "The Voice"?"

"Yep."

  Xu Xin did not hide it, nodded and said:

   "Yes, she created a variety show with a few friends."

   "Very good, I haven't watched many talent shows in the past two years. I didn't expect to watch one episode, and I feel completely different..."

   "Haha, I will tell her what you said when I get back at night. She must be very happy."

  The two of them were chatting about "The Voice", while that old woman from Yang Erche always cast her unscrupulous eyes on Xu Xin carefully... from head to toe.

  Finally, when we entered the studio scene that was almost full, the conversation ended.

  The appearance of Xu Xin also instantly attracted the attention of many people.

   But everyone just watched, watching him walk to the second row, right behind Zhang Yimou.

   At this time, Zhang Weiping also saw Xu Xin, and greeted him with a smile.

  But soon his gaze was locked on the other side, that is, Zhao Xinyu who was walking from the other side of the passage to the 25 and 26 positions.

  After seeing it, instead of nodding to Xu Xin, he stood up directly, walked over with a smile.

   and Zhao Xinyu shook hands.

   Looks enthusiastic.

  So, Zhao Xinyu also received a lot of attention.

  But... It seems that many people don't know her origin.

  Those who know are whispering, while those who don't know are puzzled.

   Xu Xin was also among those who were puzzled.

  After he took his seat, Zang Qiwu, the assistant director of "Three Guns", was on the left, and Zhou Xiaofeng, the literary consultant, was on the right.

  We all know each other, so there is no small talk.

  After taking his seat, he asked Zhou Xiaofeng:

   "Sister Zhou, when will it start?"

   "It's almost 8 o'clock. It's time to debug the machine~"

  Hearing this, Xu Xin nodded, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket, found Xu Miao's number, and sent a message:

"exist?"

  Xu Miao replied quickly:

"explain."

   "My dad has a friend named Zhao Xinyu?"

   "Yes, what's the matter?"

   "What's the relationship between her and our dad?"

   "Friend, the one with a good relationship. What's the matter? Did you meet?"

   "Come on, let me call Aunt Zhao. I think it got off a white car."

   "Normal, I have to shout too."

"have you seen?"

   "It's often seen, she is not simple. The Chang'an Club has her shares. Moreover, she is still..."

   "Hiss~~"

  Suddenly heard the gasp, Zhang Yimou subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Xu Xin:

   "What's wrong? Toothache?"

   "Huh?...No, no."

  Xu Xin knocked on the phone subconsciously, shaking his head:

   "I'm stuck in my teeth."

  Zhang Yimou was a little speechless.

  But he didn't say much, nodded and turned around again.

  Xu Xin clasped his phone and waited for the attention of the people around him to turn away from him before turning it back on.

   After deleting the chat message with Xu Miao, I sent him another message:

   "She invited me and Yang Mi to go play with her."

"just go."

   "What practical help?"

   "Yes, what do you want to do, as long as she can pull the strings, most of them can do it. But our father doesn't let you contact me more, it's just a favor, and it's not easy to pay back. He will handle everything."

"okay, I get it."

"Where are you?"

"Where are you?"

   "Sanya."

   "Home?"

"Um."

   "Then turn on the TV now and tune to Yanjing One."

"what?"

   "Didn't you ask where I am? I'm on TV."

  Xu Miao is not replying.

   I don't know if I'm speechless or what's going on.

  Xu Xin checked again, and after confirming that the phone was on silent, he leaned back on the chair, covered his mouth with his hands and yawned big.

   To be honest, he was a little tired and a little sleepy.

   But this is a live broadcast, and I am sitting behind the old man.

  In case of being found sleeping in a while...

Um.

   I probably won't be able to keep my famous name.

   As a last resort, he blinked, secretly praying that the hour and a half would pass as quickly as possible.

  …

  The movies released by New Screen will definitely have behind-the-scenes documentaries.

  The premiere will definitely have singing and dancing, just like a large-scale performance.

   This seems to have become a kind of... a regular publicity channel for this company.

   And look at the film and television industry.

   It seems that the only thing that can play like this is the new screen.

  The most important thing is... others really give face.

   If the prime time is free, it will be free to create momentum for "Three Shots".

  However, when the pre-prepared clips began to be played on the scene, Xu Xin suddenly noticed something was wrong.

  The VCR clips are the clips of the old man’s various works from Congying along the way. With the commentary, it looks like the beginning of a documentary.

   It's nothing.

   But the real problem is the line of small words on the right side of the screen:

   ""Movie World" and "Three Guns Surprise" online game press conference"

  ? ? ? ? ? ?

  No, you wait for a while.

wait a minute…

Online game?

  "Movie World"?

   "Three Guns"?

  What is this "Online Game Conference"?

  He instinctively looked at Zang Qiwu next to him:

   "Director Zang, what is this online game...?"

   Then I saw Zang Qiwu also looked dazed.

"I do not know."

  Hearing this, Xu Xin looked at Zhou Xiaofeng again.

   But Zhou Xiaofeng was also in a state of... frowning.

  She doesn't seem to know either?

   Seeing this, Xu Xin began to look for several seats on the scene.

  This is a live broadcast. When the camera position is switched to the live broadcast screen, which machine is switched to, that machine will light up with a red dot.

  Looking around for a week, I found that it seems that it should be the time to play the VCR. Except for the screen on the stage, the other cameras are not lit.

  He quickly patted the arm of the old man in front of him.

  Zhang Yimou didn't look back, but leaned back slightly to show that he was listening.

   "What is this online game?"

   "..."

  Zhang Yimou didn't move his head at first.

   After a pause of about two or three seconds, he shook his head slowly.

   Then the movement of leaning back also returned to normal.

  Xu Xin frowned instantly.

  Shake your head?

  What do you mean?

   Is it inconvenient to say? Or...he doesn't know either?

   Then, two lines of words appeared on the live screen:

   "The director smiles proudly, and the movie moves the world."

   "Zhang Yimou leads the network, and "Mouying World" reinstalls and lands."

   But seeing these two lines was nothing... The next moment everything was on the screen, and the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was suddenly released.

   And it's not a picture yet, but a video clip.

  ? ? ?

  Xu Xin was stunned immediately.

  The content of the video of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games...you just released it?

ah?

   Authorization?

  Has the Olympic Organizing Committee authorized it?

  Even if it is an excerpt from a film, if it is not for public use, such as TV news, or any commercial occasion other than a documentary authorized by the Olympic Organizing Committee, these things cannot be used indiscriminately.

   And at this moment, following the scene of the Olympic torch being lit, a web page quickly appeared on the screen.

   "News, community, games, videos, all in one place."

   Then, a cartoon pattern of pockmarked noodle shop appeared together with a cartoon pattern of Zhang Yimou.

  Under the four big characters "Mouying World", the old man with a cartoon pattern raised his horn, and for a while... definitely not from professional recording equipment, Zhang Yimou's Shaanxi dialect sounded like a telephone recording:

   "In exchange for the knife (welcome to) "Movie World"."

   Then, Shen Xiaoyang's cartoon appearance in "Three Guns" appeared, accompanied by the sentence:

"why?"

  Finally, the brand’s LOGO appears below:

   "Renren.com - Happy Farm "Movie World" - Mazi Noodle House"

   "Thanks to: Renren, Dongfeng Peugeot, Sina, Minsheng Bank..."

   A row of sponsor names popped up.

   There are a dozen of them in total.

  As soon as the names of these sponsors that covered the entire bottom of the screen appeared, what did other people think? Xu Xin didn't know, but on his side...

  He only felt that the smell of "money" that filled the screen had come over his face.

   In a daze, the corners of his mouth were bitter.

   Xu Xin doesn't know whether "Three Guns" has paid back because of these placements.

  But he was thinking about one thing.

  So many sponsors fully support a movie, when word of mouth explodes after its release...new images...how to deal with it?

   Doesn’t Zhang Weiping understand that this is killing the chicken and taking the egg?

   Or...he thinks the old man's name can really cover up everything?

  Amidst this bit of bitter thinking, this "unconventional" "online game conference"...began.

  …

  First, there is a group song and dance in which a song and dance troupe is holding a large porcelain bowl in their hands.

   seems to be singing oil splashed noodles.

   Then three hosts appeared.

   Invited the old man sitting in the first row of the auditorium to the stage, and said something about the scene of the movie.

  After the old man came back, Xu Xin found out... So the fat man's real name was Cheng Ye, an actor who went on stage with Duck Dan...

  Suddenly, the painting style feels like...it has become Liu Laogen's performance style on the big stage, although the jokes and the like are quite amusing, and the performances are all based on the theme of "Three Shots".

   But Xu Xin was already on pins and needles.

   What follows is rather monotonous.

  The host is in charge of letting the leading actors of this movie, including Sun Honglei and others, take turns to go on stage, or sing and dance, or perform some kind of show.

   Halfway through, they invited A Bao and Shen Xiaoyang, who were born in "Avenue of Stars", to sing a song.

  Actually, if "Three Shots" is not mentioned, the whole event would look like a lively performance.

  During the period, tidbits of "Three Guns" kept flowing out.

  Watching the filming process really made the audience laugh a lot.

  Finally, as Zhang Yimou signed multiple posters together, the program came to the last paragraph.

  All the leading actors came on stage, and the host asked everyone to say a word to the audience to express their feelings about the movie...

  Narino was the first.

   "This movie is worth looking forward to, because the director has really been brewing for a long time. Thank you for your support for this movie, and I hope everyone will remember me. Thank you!"

   The duck egg is the second.

   At this time, it seemed that she was really nervous.

   "Just...just... this movie is really good, you must watch it!"

   That stuttering appearance drew applause from the audience.

  Xu Xin also laughed and applauded at the bottom.

  Until I heard Yan Ni’s words:

   "This movie is really good, please support it a lot, and thank the director for giving me this opportunity. Please support "Three Shots Surprise", it will definitely not disappoint everyone, thank you."

   "Wow, la la la..."

   Applause broke out again.

  Xu Xin was also applauding.

  While applauding, he paid attention to Yan Ni's expression.

  Whether she has watched the original film or not... It is not clear yet.

   Unconsciously, Xu Xin sighed in his heart:

"well."

  …

  The press release "evening party" is officially over.

  Finally, Zhang Yimou also took the stage.

   Let’s bow to the audience who watched the show tonight and the audience at the scene.

  After the show ended, the guests at the scene began to retreat, while the audience ran forward.

   Obviously going to ask for a signature.

   Xu Xin also walked out with everyone, but before leaving, he grabbed Zhang Mo's arm:

   "Sister Mo, this game... Does Director Zhang know?"

  Zhang Mo didn't speak.

   It's just that his face is a little ugly.

  Xu Xin understood.

   After thinking about it, he still whispered:

   "Don't ask, the live broadcast of the show is over. If you have anything to say behind closed doors...I'll go back first."

   "...OK. I'll see if I can call you later."

"Don't."

  Xu Xin quickly shook his head:

   "It seems that you and I are too right and wrong. In any case, even under the guise of online games, at least the promotion of the movie is considered a success. There are some things you can talk about, but I may not be able to talk about it. It's a bit over the top~"

  Pointed at her, and while Zhang Mo was thinking, Xu Xin waved his hand:

"I am leaving."

"…Um."

   And at this moment, a voice sounded:

   "Xu Xin."

  Xu Xin turned his head to look, and shouted:

   "Hey, Aunt Zhao."

   "It's settled, I'll call you these two days and bring Mimi to my place."

   "Hey, good. Aunt Zhao, go slowly."

  Hearing this, Zhao Xinyu nodded with a smile:

"Um!"

   Together with Yang Xingche, who looked at Xu Xin with a little green eyeballs, the two left.

  Out the door, he saw Zhang Jiao holding a cigarette case in her hand.

   "Brother Xu, shall we go back?"

"Um."

  Xu Xin took the cigarette, thought for a while, and asked:

   "Jiaojiao, do you know Renren?"

   "Renren.com?... Happy Farm? Brother Xu, you also play? How much is your ID, can I steal your food?"

   Zhang Jiao looked very excited.

   "...???"

  Xu Xin asked puzzledly:

"what?"

   "Happy Farm, Renren Happy Farm."

   "I know...I'm not a BJ person."

  He rolled his eyes and made a very connotative joke.

   "What is Renren doing? What do you mean by stealing food?"

   “It’s Xiaonei, the same nature as Facebook, where you can find your classmates from elementary school. And then they have a function, which is to give you a vegetable plot and let you grow vegetables. Others can steal it…”

"Virtual?"

   "Yes...Brother Xu, you don't know?"

   Obviously, Zhang Jiao was surprised.

  Why are you so OUT when everyone is born in the 1980s?

   But the fact is, Xu Xin really doesn't know.

  And... he is not interested in this kind of farming stuff.

   After thinking about it, he asked:

   "Very hot?"

   "Well, it's been very popular recently."

   "...Then what do you think, if such a popular website wants to sponsor Director Zhang's "Three Shots"...how much will it cost?"

   Zhang Jiao, who was no longer a low-level rookie, frowned.

   After thinking about it, a number is given:

   "At least... 20 million, right? Their market value is very high, it is said that there are one or two billion U.S. dollars."

   "..."

  Xu Xin didn't speak.

  After walking for a while in silence, seeing that he was silent, Zhang Jiao asked tentatively:

   "Brother Xu?"

"Um?"

   "What are you thinking? Are you interested in RenRen?"

"without."

  Xu Xin took a puff of cigarette.

   After spraying the smoke into the sky, looking at the starless chaos, came a sentence that Zhang Jiao didn't understand very well:

   "I said that I smelled a change in the sky, do you believe it?"

   "...change of sky?"

   "Hmm. Two distinct circles... Gradually begin to merge, and jointly push one circle to the next stage."

   Now, Zhang Jiao couldn't understand even more.

   After saying this, Xu Xin looked down at his half cigarette butt...

   Throw it to the side of the road:

   "Stop smoking, let's go."

   Soon, Volvo drove out of the parking lot of Yanjing Terrace.

  …

  When she got home, Yang Mi was still up.

   But he wasn’t playing games either, but was holding two long needles and a ball of thread in his hand, knitting something...something clumsily.

  I can't see anything for the time being.

   But Xu Xin "turned pale with shock" and lowered his voice:

"Your Majesty! Stop, Your Majesty! The child is still too young, what is wrong with her? You want to use such a long needle to pierce the servant's child? Madam, there are only two children like this! If you want to punish, punish the servant! Let the servant be spared." Children!!"

   "...???"

  Yang Mi was dumbfounded.

  Looking at her husband who looks like a showman.

   "Brother, did you drink any fake wine?"

  Maybe it's because Xu Xin's upper body appearance is too rare, she is really confused.

   Isn't this usually my job?

   It's fine if you **** my job, but you still act so hard?

  I don't want to lose face?

"cut."

  Seeing that she didn't cooperate, Xu Xin rolled his eyes, sat next to her, and took advantage of the situation to hug her:

   "What do you weave?"

   "Scarf... for warmth and yang. I wanted to knit a glove, but my mother said that it would be nice if I could knit a scarf... I'll try it. You touch it."

  He wiped the small piece of fabric with his hand, nodded:

   "Very soft."

   "That's right, the cashmere ones. It's very expensive, one hundred and eighty in a ball. EEDS brand."

   It doesn't matter if it's 180 or 1.8 million.

   Anyway, give it to the children.

  Xu Xin didn't care, just asked:

   "Did you watch TV?"

   "Looked at it... I watched it for you a few times, and your eyes are a little bit floating. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

  Either it is a woman who knows men best.

  Especially the pillow people who get along day and night.

  Xu Xin sighed:

   "Oh... Oh, by the way, let me tell you something. Have you ever heard of someone named Zhao Xinyu... and another named Yang... Yang... Yang Erche..."

   "Yang Erche Namu?"

   "Yes, yes, you know?"

   "I probably know Zhao Xinyu vaguely, but I know Yang Erche Namu."

  Yang Mi's face is full of disgust:

  "Crazy, the fast man chased after Su Xing and asked for a kiss, and invited Chen Chusheng to her room at night... He is old, ugly, and disgusting."

   Xu Xin rarely saw her hate someone so much.

   Quite unexpectedly.

   But I still told what happened tonight.

  After listening to Yang Mi, she didn't care about "Zhao Xinyu" at all, but looked at Xu Xin directly:

   "You said...you shook hands with Yang Erche Namu?"

"Um."

   "..."

  Seeing that he agreed, the young woman looked down at the hands still around her waist...

  Xu Xin suddenly felt his right hand go cold, and subconsciously let go.

   "Right hand?"

   she asked.

   "Gudu~"

   Xu Xin, who was made a little uncomfortable by the tone, swallowed, nodded slightly, and responded weakly:

"Um…"

   "..."

  Looking straight at her brother's right hand, after a few seconds, she said:

   "You have two options. One, there is a knife in the kitchen..."

   "Second. Thank you."

   "There are steel wool **** in the kitchen, and toilet cleaners in the toilet... Give me your hands and shed your skin before you come back."

   "..."

  Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

  But he didn't refute, but got up and walked into the bathroom.

   Soon, he came back after washing his hands:

   "Do you smell it?"

   "Hmm."

  Yang Mi was still full of disgust.

   It's like my husband's hand has touched shit.

   Pointing to the single sofa next to him, motioning him to stay away from him, he said:

   "Hurry up and wash me inside and out in a while...I really hate that woman."

"good."

   Dumbfounded, he agreed to his wife's request.

   Then, Yang Mi said:

"As for that Zhao Xinyu, when I chatted with Sister Hua recently, I got to know a little bit. She and Zhang Ziyi are best friends, and they have a very good relationship. She is known as the number one lady in the capital...Anyway, I knew she was very good, but no three Brother Shui knows such details...do you want to make friends with her?"

  Xu Xin rolled his eyes:

   "What do you mean I want to make friends with her? It's because she invited us, okay? Since people called, let's go."

"Um."

  Yang Mi nodded indifferently.

  Then somehow... his eyes fell on Xu Xin's right hand again.

   Then... she said with a look of disgust:

   "噫~"

   Ask for a monthly pass Ask for a monthly pass! !
