I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

   Chapter 387 385. Children with low self-esteem

"congratulations."

"Thanks."

  Yang Mi took the trophy politely, thanked Shu Qi and Wu Yanzu, and stood in front of the microphone.

  Look around.

  The stars are shining.

  But at this moment, she herself became the most eye-catching one.

  For a while, her originally sober mind appeared a little trance again.

   This seems to be... is it her first time standing at an award ceremony?

   She was referring to such a heavyweight award.

   Other TV dramas or the "Most Popular" or "Most Popular" awards of a small award do not count.

  Cannes does not count.

   It was the first time, as an independent heroine, standing in front of the big stage of a movie, it was really the first time.

   Thinking of this, she unconsciously recalled the winter vacation in 2006.

  When she received a call from her instructor on that cold evening in January, the instructor told her that Director Yu of the Directing Department wanted to ask her to make a short film.

   Not paid.

   It was a student of the same year from the director department who made a short film script, and the instructor wanted her to try it.

  Who made her the most experienced candidate in the acting department?

  So, with a sense of utilitarianism that might be useful in building a good relationship with Director Yu in the future, she dressed up carefully and appeared in the school classroom the next day.

   Meet your lover for the first time.

  She is no stranger to Xu Xin.

  No way, I drove a Ferrari in the first year of my freshman year, and put up a non-mainstream hairstyle at the school gate every day, wishing to turn my hair into that **** on the wolf tooth list...

   She is really not a stranger.

  And that was her impression of Xu Xin.

  The **** of the soil.

   An upstart who doesn't know where he came from.

   Looks okay.

  But she really can't like that virtue.

   Even, after knowing about him and Yuan Shanshan at the time, Yang Mi was quite worried for Yuan Shanshan.

  Although the two of them are not particularly good classmates, because she has been in and out of various production groups since she was very young, she has seen and seen a lot of things. Therefore, she was really worried that Yuan Shanshan would suddenly come to the top and throw herself into the arms of that filthy nouveau riche desperately.

  Then he got pregnant and lost his "life". In the end, his star career was ruined and he left sadly.

  Girl, that's a lifetime.

But…

   Good luck tricks people.

  Yuan Shanshan's belly is not big, but her own belly is big...

  Hmmm… In every way, it’s outrageous.

  She didn't know when she fell in love with Xu Xin.

   Obviously I was disgusted at first.

   But later... Maybe it was the camel hair coat that my brother had lost for a long time?

   Or after the two became friends, it was the first time that they found that the other party seemed to be different from what they thought, and they changed a lot?

   Or maybe it’s the smile on the pedestrian street along the Dashilan to Deyunshe?

   I really don’t remember.

  But the only thing that is certain is...the two definitely did not fall in love at first sight.

  Brother also said that at first glance, I just thought I was beautiful...the legs are very beautiful.

   Phew.

  Looks like an old pervert.

   As far as liking it... his exact words were "you have to thank the wheel".

   But the wheel is only the point where quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

  When did I walk into his heart... It's like I don't know when he walked into my heart.

   It's just... pretty vague.

   When the two first got together, even though they were "girlfriends"...Yang Mi never dreamed that she would undergo such a big change in the past three years.

   Married, had a baby... and won an award...

  This kind of sudden change in life made her stand in front of the spotlight watched by an unknown number of people at this moment, and she had the illusion of... "This world is so unreal".

really?

  How can I win the prize?

   What did I do? I just won the Golden Horse Award?

  I...I'm only 18 years old.

   Are you putting this up with my Sims?

  I... I shouldn't have started my life like that... What did that old liar say? Oh yes.

  I will marry a man surnamed Liu, who will be my father when he is old. And then we have a daughter...and we will get divorced at the end...

   Is this my reality?

   Now I'm just a fake network symbol?

  She didn't know why she had such a strange idea.

But…

   Really won an award!

   It is still the golden horse award with the most gold content...

oops!

  Why is my brother not by my side now?

   If he is by my side, Gao Low will let me punch him to see if he hurts.

  I'm afraid I'm dreaming.

  She was thinking wildly, when Shu Qi next to her saw that she hadn't moved for a long time, she hurriedly shouted again:

   "Hey, did you give your acceptance speech?"

   "...?"

  Yang Mi was subconsciously taken aback.

   Then, all the divergent thoughts returned to their original position in an instant.

  The erratic eyes also returned to reality.

   Then she remembered... Oh yes, I have to talk.

  Yes... what should I say?

  She puts her mouth in front of the microphone...

  Looking at the guests present in front of me...thought for a while, and said:

   "Well...can I confirm first?...This is the Golden Horse Awards...right? It's just...the awards ceremony for the top-level Golden Horse Awards? That's right...right?"

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

  The audience fell silent.

  My first reaction is that you are sick, right?

  But the second reaction immediately was a burst of laughter:

   "Hahahaha~"

   Next...

   "Wow la la la la la..."

applause.

  Hearing the applause, Yang Mi blinked, then looked down at the Golden Horse trophy in her hand:

   "It's... quite heavy."

   "Hahahaha~"

   "咻咻咻~"

  Perhaps her dazed appearance was too cute, and I don't know who blew the whistle.

   Suddenly the atmosphere on the scene relaxed.

  Yang Mi just sorted out her mood and said:

   "Uh...Thank you to the judges of the Golden Horse Awards, thank you very much. This honor... means too much to me."

   As he spoke, his eyes fell on Li Pingdong, Liang Bingning and others:

"At the same time, I also want to thank all the front and backstage staff of "The Wind". Without everyone's hard work, I would not be in this position... Sister Bingbing, thank you. I also thank all the fans for their support, yes You supported me all the way to this sacred stage..."

   Following her words, the scene switched to Liang Bingning's face.

  She smiled, raised her hands above her head, and drew a "heart" shape with her strokes.

  Yang Mi couldn't help laughing out loud:

   "Haha... Thank you so much everyone, you all worked hard. Then..."

   Speaking of this, she first bowed to express her gratitude.

  But because there is something to say here, everyone knows that she hasn't finished.

   After getting up, she turned to the camera and said word by word:

"Finally, I would like to send two separate thanks... The first one is to the director of "The Wind". Director Xu Xin... Although you can't come to the scene in person today, as an actor, I still want to send the most important one Thank you for telling you. It is you who made me what I am today. Although I am sorry that I cannot share this joy and emotion with you at the scene, I believe that at this moment, I feel the same with you.”

  This is a bit weird...

   After listening to it, many people wondered... Isn't Xu Xin your husband...

  But Yang Mi's painting style changed immediately:

"Finally, the second reward...I want to give it to my lover and children. Nuannuan, Yangyang, my mother would like to thank my father here for his hard work, so that my mother won this very important award. In the future, you two will mess with each other." Dad is angry... Be careful. Mom will definitely stand by Dad's side..."

   "Hahahahaha..."

  No one expected that she could be clever in the end.

  Amidst the laughter, Yang Mi raised the trophy high:

   "Thank you everyone, I love you and I love you too."

  The last sentence, she said to the camera.

  Everyone understood who she was talking about.

   At this moment, when Xu Xin, who was sitting in front of the TV, heard this, he smiled calmly while the blush on his face hadn't faded.

   "I love you too, you deserve it."

  He said silently in his heart.

  …

  In the end, Xu Xin's "The Wind" still missed the best picture.

   Lost to Daly Ren's "Can't Live Without You".

   Actually, he was not surprised.

   I can't say it wasn't a surprise... It would be more appropriate to say it was calm.

   It's a very indifferent attitude.

   As for him, if he really analyzes why he "lost", he thinks that "The Wind" loses, in fact, lies in the director's perspective of conveying ideas.

  It is not a literary film in essence, but a feature film.

  Whether the director conveys his own spiritual core through the theme of the film, including the discussion on a certain topic of artistry, is very fragile.

  The effects and atmosphere created by light and shadow also serve the film itself.

  So the artistry is weaker.

   But... what does it matter?

  I am only 18 years old.

  I am still young.

  …

   "What? You want to come back?"

"Yes, I'm running to the airport right now. Probably... I can get home around 12 o'clock in the morning. You remember to leave the door open for me, and then ask my dad to cook me some food in the hot pot...Is it too much for me to want to eat dumplings? "

   "..."

   "..."

  Hearing this, Yang Dalin on the side stood up and went to the kitchen without saying a word.

   It’s okay. Tonight, my son-in-law entertained guests. He specially bought ribs. He didn’t finish all of them, but kept a small half in the refrigerator, planning to make ribs and corn soup tomorrow morning.

  Since my daughter wants to eat... let's have a dumpling filled with meat and cabbage.

  Who made the girl win the prize?

   "It's not too much, hero... Then have you finished greeting the others?"

"It's all over. Sister Bingbing and the others have to go to the dinner party. I said hello to everyone before leaving... Everyone knows that I am worried about my children. And I also expressed my apology for the Golden Horse Awards. The live broadcast director and Director Li are good friends, and Director Li said he would come over to say hello, don't worry."

   "Well, shall I pick you up that night?"

   "Don't, just take care of Nuannuan and Yangyang at home... Oh yes, I have to gossip with you when I go back, old wolf! Hehehe..."

   "The story between him and that Gong Xinliang?"

   "Huh?...how do you know?"

   "Nonsense, Lao Wang told me after you left last night. I also went to check the girl's information..."

   "The capital is quite thick, right?"

   "..."

  Let's just say...sometimes she is really unreasonable when she acts rogue.

  You little girl, why are you saying this? …What? Are you a young lady?

   That's all right.

   "Okay, just come back quickly. I just take the child to get vaccinated tomorrow."

   "Well, then I'll hang up."

   "Okay...you wait."

  Suddenly, Xu Xin stopped her.

"ah?"

   "You... that dress has to be brought back, you know?"

   "Bah! Dream on you!"

  Hearing this, even though there was no one in the room, Xu Xin lowered his voice and whispered while covering the phone:

   "Really, bring it back...you dress like a star."

   "I was originally a big star!"

   "Then I want to play Big Star..."

   "You wait to be played by a big star! Abnormal!"

   Beep.

  The phone hangs up.

   Sun Ting on the side glanced at the GMC nanny car with soundproof windows raised, and also lowered her voice:

   "Sister, then this dress... I won't take it away and wash it."

  Hearing this, Yang Mi glanced at her:

   "Tingting..."

"ah?"

  Under Sun Ting's suspicious gaze, Yang Mi's hand turned into a knife.

   Killing chickens is bitter.

"you know too much!"

   "Hey~"

  …

   When Yang Mi got home, it was already 1:00.

   When she arrived home, Yang Dalin followed into the house with a plate of dumplings on her back.

  As for why I bother my dad to cook dumplings at night...

Um.

  If you want to drink noodle dumpling stuffing soup, you can ask brother to cook it.

  In the past few years, she has successfully turned her husband into a waste who doesn't work hard.

  As for the extent of the waste... Now that she is gone, he cooks instant noodles and can pour as much soup...

"Give."

  Handing the trophy in Xu Xin's hand, Yang Mi, who hadn't eaten dinner, couldn't wait to attack the dumplings.

  It's a pity, there is no garlic vinegar...

  Always a little less soul.

   But there is nothing to do. Since the last garlic chicken wing incident, she has been ordered to eat garlic and must be approved by her husband.

   It depends on whether there are any plans to go online at night.

   And there must be a big singing and dancing live event tonight, she dare not even touch chili oil.

  I am afraid that my brother will become the main dish on the Thanksgiving table.

   And Xu Xin weighed the heavy Golden Horse trophy in his hand, got up and walked directly into the study, and put the trophy in the glass showcase full of antiques.

  After returning, she looked at Yang Mi who was devouring her food and said:

   "Eat slowly, and no one will compete with you."

   "Hmm... What time did the child feed? What time did they go to bed?"

   "It was after 9 o'clock and fell asleep with a feeding bottle in its mouth."

"Well…"

  Hearing this, Yang Mi looked up at the time on the clock again, and nodded:

   "That's almost there, at most half an hour before you should cry... How did you cry last night?"

"Last night was okay. Nuan Nuan felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach at the beginning of 12 o'clock. I hugged the plane for a while. After falling asleep, Yang Yang started to cry. He warmed up the milk and fell asleep after eating. Then Nuan Nuan woke up , the time is staggered, so it's not too troublesome."

   "...Well, thank you for your hard work."

  Although her brother said it was easy, she knew that last night must have been difficult.

   "You rest well tonight, and leave the rest to me."

   "OK~"

  In fact, raising children is like this.

  At first glance, it sounds like Guan Guan is hard to bear.

   But watching the two little guys grow up every day under careful care is a very happy thing.

  Watching her sister who hadn't removed her make-up eating dumplings with her flaming red lips, Xu Xin's eyes were a little straight.

   After thinking about it, he asked:

   "Is there anything going on at the Golden Horse Awards?"

   "No, one piece is normal."

   "I think Huang Xiaoming has also gone, have you talked to him about Yang Ying?"

   "Why should I talk about her?"

  Yang Mi shrugged while eating:

"Let's not get involved in the matter of love. For girls, finding a lifelong happiness is more important than anything else... Oh yes, we chatted about the movie Director Li made, it's called "Love Announcement". Looking for an actress, I recommended Yang Ying, Baozi, Liu Yifei, and Shishi. Didn’t you say that Jiaojiao’s acting skills are still young? I didn’t recommend it.”

   "Poetry?"

  Xu Xin frowned slightly:

   "You cross the Tang people to find opportunities for her..."

   "Not crossed."

   Seems to have guessed what he wanted to say, Yang Mi shook her head:

"I just told Shishi the news, and then said hello to Director Li. If Shishi goes to an audition, then I will arrange it. It depends on what the director says...but Director Li's status is here. That said, our people, including Shishi, will pay more attention. I won’t get involved with the rest...don’t worry, she won’t make things difficult for Tang Ren.”

  Xu Xin felt relieved.

   Then urged...

   "Okay, let's eat quickly. Don't talk about business tonight~"

   "What's the hurry?"

  The young woman glanced at her lover with all kinds of amorous feelings:

   "You like what I'm wearing?"

   "Well... This is the first time I saw you wearing a tube top dress... By the way, what kind of dress should we buy in the future to prevent me from being like a thief? I have never seen your dress before..."

"hehe."

  Yang Mi sneered.

  Xin said I don't know what virtue you have?

  If other people charge, at most they will lose a pair of stockings or a set of clothes worth tens of dollars.

  Your hobby...

  A set of high-end order is less than tens of thousands of dollars...

  Your cost is really expensive...

  Besides, money or not is a trivial matter... The main reason is that I always say that I feel like playing a celebrity...

  I am a star! !

  Where did you get such a strange cognition?

   Too much bean buns are not suitable for dry food.

   "Go crazy, I think you can survive for a few more years... After ten years, maybe you will have to walk around me when you see me in a dress."

   Xu Xin's words are like farting.

  Does he believe it?

   I don't believe it at all.

   Blow it and you will.

  My buddy, if you want to be a coin, you will be a lifetime.

   Go ahead!

  …

  December 12 this day.

  The box office of "Three Shots" reached 27.5 million.

   This is the news disclosed by the media early in the morning on the 13th.

  It just happened that Yang Mi and the news after the golden horse were sealed separately.

   Regarding the news about her Golden Horse actress, she didn't care much after getting up early in the morning.

   As for the specific operation, I had already finished chatting with Sister Hua in the car last night. Therefore, the popularity of the news after she was banned is estimated to last for two or three days.

  Today is news, but from tomorrow onwards, a large part of the praised articles are drafts bought with money.

  For her who is already married as a wife and mother, this kind of hype is essential.

   Otherwise, what should I do?

   Is it possible to have an affair with someone else?

  However, Yang Mi did not let Wang Jinghua overwhelm the world in a frenzied way, but was selected based on the best.

   Those who are worth buying by her must be some relatively well-known media.

   Subject to numerous.

  These media actually don’t spend much money to buy space.

   It’s just that there will be some exclusive interviews later.

  Like last night, she received an invitation from Wang Minmin.

  Southern Weekly wants to invite her to shoot the January cover.

   Two plans are given.

   One is to appear together with Xu Xin, as a couple, to be selected as the cover of the weekly magazine, and to have an exclusive interview with the couple.

  The price is 300,000.

  But Yang Mi directly denied this plan.

  Before the wedding photos were taken, she refused any form of shooting plans with her husband in the same frame.

   If you want to shoot, keep the first time of the two in your deepest memory.

  The second article is a separate cover and interview.

  The price is 30,000.

   At first glance, the price gap is a bit obvious, but in fact, the main reason for the high price is the sincerity of inviting Xu Xin.

   After all, as a magazine, it is also a very good means of publicity for a celebrity to appear on the front page of some big magazines, and the price is usually not too high.

   What's more, Southern Weekly is an old friend.

  Yang Mi's price has always been very favorable.

  If you need help, just let me know. If you pay for the transportation expenses of the personnel, you have to pay if you don’t have money.

  Who in this circle doesn't know big honey is righteous?

  So, facing these news announcements, Yang Mi felt quite indifferent. I even saw some news that criticized myself, and my mood didn't fluctuate much.

  Instead, she cared more about "Three Shots".

  The reputation of "Three Guns" has been completely cracked... Countless people are calling it bad, and she is actually quite uncomfortable.

   After all, she is one of the few people who knows what the movie is about.

  After Xu Xin got up, she thought about it, and said to Xu Xin who was drinking porridge:

   "The word-of-mouth of "Three Guns" has dropped very quickly... Douban's score has already reached 5."

   "Well, I know. I turned it over when I went to the toilet just now... It's okay, the old man said it's okay... What happened is useless anyway, just look forward."

   "Then do you want to go to Director Zhang?"

   "You don't need to look for it, the children of "Jinling" will come here to audition next week, and you can meet them then."

   "...Okay. Then you eat it quickly. After eating, we will take the child to vaccinate."

"Um."

  Xu Xin speeded up.

  After breakfast, the family set off to the community health center to vaccinate their children.

  In the afternoon, some strangers came to the house.

   is the person from the decoration company that Yang Mi is looking for.

   Years later, the courtyard house will start to be refurbished, and the three connected courtyards will start to undergo major changes.

   Several designers came to communicate with the couple about design details.

   And Xu Xin's request is very simple, to give himself a work area.

  Including the study room, reception room, a place to drink and brag with a few friends, etc.

  The three yards add up to cover an area of ​​almost 4 basketball courts.

   More than seventeen hundred and less than one thousand and eight.

   This is obviously a big job.

  Conservative estimates of renovation costs are close to a small target.

   And the construction period is only one year.

   This period is the time to prepare and perfect the design.

   After communicating with the designer about the house in the afternoon, another wave of guests came to the house in the evening.

  Lu Yang, Chen Shu, Fang Xiu, and other crew members formed during this week all came to Xu Xin's house.

  He still learned this habit from the old man.

  The old man likes to let others come to talk at home instead of in his studio.

  The main reason is that he is familiar with the conditions at home, so he can relax his emotions and try to think more comprehensively about the things he shoots.

  Xu Xin thought this habit was pretty good, so he copied it.

  Indeed, in the study at home, his preparation materials, including files on the computer, are easy to find.

Very comfortable.

  The arrival of Lu Yang also brought some information about the children.

   "Director Xu, a total of 30 children have been auditioned in the past two days, and some of them seem to be quite good. Take a look."

"Um."

  Xu Xin nodded, and directly inserted the USB flash drive into the computer.

   There are 7 video files in total.

   "These six people were selected by me individually. The remaining video file is the audition video added together."

  Xu Xin clicked on the first video file.

  The same face-to-face shot.

  The child seemed a little shy. After glancing at a certain position, a voice sounded:

   "Speak to the camera."

   "Hi Uncle Director, my name is Liu Xuesi, I am 7 years old..."

  A section of self-introduction, plus a section of street dance moves.

   After dancing, Xu Xin shook his head and passed directly.

   Then the second one.

The third.

the fourth…

  In fact, these children have no professional acting experience, and it is unrealistic to really ask for the acting skills of actors.

  So Xu Xin is only focusing on finding the characteristics of these children.

  He wants a cowardly trait with a little inferiority complex.

   And this kind of inferiority fits exactly what the child who was brought up by his grandma and had no mother in "Trade" showed.

  But the first four children are all out of the sun.

   It’s laughing again, and it’s showing off its talents... It doesn’t look very good.

  So, he clicked on the fifth video.

  A quiet-looking little boy's face came into view.

  He wasn't as embarrassed as the previous ones.

   Looking at the camera, he looked quiet.

  And when Lu Yang’s voice came to mind and said the phrase “You can introduce yourself”, the boy had a kind of…

   At first glance, he nodded politely in response.

  But it gives people a kind of "pretentious" taste with a flattering taste.

  Xu Xin raised his eyebrows.

   Then I heard the kid smile at the camera.

   "Hello director. My name is Wang Junkai, I am nine years old and I am from Chongqing..."

  Xu Xin narrowed his eyes.

  This kid's talent show is actually dancing, and he still looks good. But after the performance, he will turn into that kind of calm expression with a little inferiority.

   Then when he speaks, it will be a little flattering.

   After the 2-minute clip ended, Xu Xin thought about it, and then went back and watched it again.

  The more he looked at him, the stronger his sense of inferiority grew.

   At this time, Yang Mi also walked in, planning to send some fruits to the big guys.

   After coming in, she saw the kid smiling at the camera on the computer screen, she was taken aback...

  After the video was over, she put the fruit on the table in the voice of a group of people saying "Thank you Miss Mi", and then said to Xu Xin:

   "Who was that kid just now? Why does he feel so distressed when he smiles?"

  Xu Xin's eyes lit up:

   "You feel the same way?"

  Yang Mi nodded:

   "Yeah, I feel very inferior... Play it again and let me see."

"Um."

  Xu Xin played the file again, and while she was watching, turned to Lu Yang and asked:

   "Where did you find this kid?"

"It was recommended. A company called Times Junfeng seems to be dedicated to finding child stars. After the "Transaction" project was established, I sent the news to various intermediaries and brokerage companies. But I didn't say it was Xu Daoyou If you want to shoot, go through the normal channels, and hide the news that this movie is your director. Then yesterday for an audition, the kid’s manager came with a few kids. A total of six or seven came, but I I thought he was quite suitable, so I kept him."

  Xu Xin nodded, while Yang Mi was standing beside him watching the audition footage on the computer.

  After reading it, she said:

   "It feels pretty good."

"Yes, it's mainly because of the inferiority complex...it really hurts people. It just fits the kind of temperament that the children in "Trading" want to show...just him. Nine years old...the time to go to school is a problem. Director Lu, then you Come and take charge of coordinating the time... Children, no matter how you act, you can't delay the culture class."

  Hearing this, Lu Yang nodded:

   "Okay, Director Xu."

   That’s all for today. After finishing this update in the afternoon, I felt very tired and took a nap. Woke up at 7 o'clock until now at 10 o'clock...Sitting in front of the computer for 3 hours, I still can't concentrate, and even my thoughts are a little bit broken. It's a bit uncomfortable, so I can't squeeze it out... I'm sorry everyone.
