I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 389 387. Shut up!

   "Did this Aunt Zhao break up with Zhang Ziyi?"

   "..."

   "I think it must be. It is said that they are good girlfriends and invest together. But now we have mentioned Zhang Ziyi two or three times, and she doesn't answer...It must be abnormal, right?"

   "..."

   "And that attitude... just doesn't feel right. You're right?"

   "..."

  Seeing that Xu Xin didn't answer, Yang Mi wondered for a while:

   "What do you think?"

   "Thinking about Bing...Liang Bingning."

   "...?"

  Hearing her husband’s words, Yang Mi’s first reaction was that you are very brave, young man~

   But the second reaction is:

   "Why do you miss her? Why do you suddenly miss her?"

   "Didn't you notice that after I answered her call, there was something wrong with the conversation between Aunt Zhao and us?"

   "...Isn't that used to divert Zhang Ziyi's topic? Just to talk about what you and Liang Bingning called. It's not to change the subject? It's used to remind you not to ask her about it from the side?"

   "How could it be so simple."

  Seeing that she misunderstood the meaning, Xu Xin shook his head directly:

"You can listen to what she said earlier as a diversion, but in the latter part, the one who should be called aunt has to be called aunt, otherwise she will be inferior. It is obviously talking about Liang Bingning. My previous answer told her that she was young. , I still wanted to call her sister... Actually, it was to test her meaning, that's why they gave this answer. It means that if I call Liang Bingning, I should also call her aunt..."

   "Why do you call me aunt? Aunt is from Uncle Xu's generation... Hey!!"

   She seemed to understand what had happened, and suddenly took a deep breath.

  A pair of eyes staring straight at her lover, full of absurdity:

   "Oh my god!"

   "Now you know what I'm thinking?"

   Holding the steering wheel, Xu Xin started the car.

  It's still quite cold, so let's warm up the car and talk.

  But Yang Mi's goosebumps have already formed a layer:

   "You mean..."

   "I may not believe what others say. But the problem is that it comes from her mouth...I have to believe it."

   "..."

  Hearing this, Yang Mi's lips began to tremble.

   "Brother...Brother...meaning..."

   "Say what? Say nothing! Don't mess with my mentality!"

   "Nonsense! Which of us is messing with each other?! You said it yourself...you can mess with yourself!"

   "..."

  Xu Xin didn't answer the conversation, but just frowned there.

   After more than a minute, Yang Mi calmed down and asked:

   "Call our dad and ask?"

"Do not hit."

  Xu Xin simply shook his head:

"If this matter is true, if he wanted to say it, he would have told me. But it's been so long, I saw it once in "The Wind", and saw it again at our house two days ago. Give it back She made a cup of tea...the two pretended not to know each other. This matter was either nonsense, or there was some kind of tacit understanding between the two of them, and they never mentioned the previous things. So you can't ask. "

   "...Then what should we do? Should we not know?"

   Now, Xu Xin didn't respond to her, but suddenly said:

   "Just now she was with Zhang Ziyi... called you again... have you had any special communication lately?"

"Nope. I left a phone call just for the Golden Horse Awards...and Sister Bingbing...uh...Liang Bingning told me before that her "Sunshine Chongqing" will be finished in a week. Shouldn't she be filming now? How could she be in Yanjing?"

   "..."

  Xu Xin fell silent again.

   Instead, after pondering for a while, he said:

   "You call Zhang Ziyi and say that you were busy just now, and now it's over. If she wants to invite you to dinner or get together tonight... let's go together."

   As he spoke, he started the car:

   "Let's go home and feed the children first."

   "...Aunt Zhao and her must have some conflicts, I still go at this time? Offend someone?"

   "You can't offend anyone with a meal. Besides... she and Liang Bingning are together now. I need to figure out why they are calling you. Being able to offend Aunt Zhao means that there must be some changes in Zhang Ziyi's side..."

   "Then let's not get involved."

"But Liang Bingning seems to want to get involved... On the one hand, it's the factory, on the other hand, it's... that matter. If it's true, it's better to pull her out now and make her sober, better than Aunt Zhao or others. Zhang Ziyi had a conflict, and she was raped in one pot. If she really got involved...I don't dare to bet on whether the old man will help if he finds out. But if he does, he will definitely pay some price...Why bother? Things that can be prevented are better believed than not believed.”

"I understand."

  As soon as he said it, Yang Mi understood what her brother meant.

to be honest…

  Did not bet.

  Who knows if my father-in-law still has contact with Liang Bingning?

  No, is the best.

  Everyone walks on the road towards the sky.

  But what if the connection is broken?

   Zhang Ziyi offended Zhao Xinyu, obviously it will not end well.

This is for sure.

  Although I don't know the confidence of the other party.

   It doesn't really matter what kind of contradictions and conflicts there are between the two sides.

   Has nothing to do with himself or his brother.

  But if Liang Bingning was involved, the nature would be different.

  If Uncle Xu has no contact with Liang Bingning, then if there is any disturbance on her side... You know, she is the deputy head of the actor troupe of Xiying Studio.

   belongs to one of the facades.

  She was damaged, although Xiying Studio would not be damaged, but the facade was gone, and her face was not good-looking.

  But if Uncle Xu has something to do with her...then things will be more complicated.

  He wanted to pick Liang Bingning out alone, and he would pay less.

  So, the safest way is no matter what Zhang Ziyi wants to do, the "Xu family" will pull Liang Bingning to "don't hear, don't ask".

   is the safest.

  Thinking about this, she called Zhang Ziyi directly:

   "Duddu...Hi, Mimi."

   "Hey, Teacher Zhang."

  Yang Mi's tone was extremely "kind".

   "My husband and I just went out to do some business and met a few people. It's not convenient to answer the phone. It's just over now, sorry."

   "Well, it's fine. Mimi, do you and Director Xu have time at night?"

   "Other people will definitely go home to accompany their children if they come to me, but Teacher Zhang and Sister Bingbing will come to see us, rain or shine."

   "Haha~ OK, tonight I have an appointment with a few friends in the circle. Let's come to my friend's winery for dinner? OK?"

   "Well, good!...Then I'll go back to nurse the baby now, we probably..."

   As she spoke, she glanced at the time:

   "Leave around 5 o'clock, is that okay?"

   "Yes, no problem. Then I will send you the address now?"

"OK."

   "By the way, you two can just bring an assistant today, both of you are from the circle, there are no outsiders, let's talk."

   "Okay. See you that night, Mr. Zhang."

"Um."

  The phone hung up, and soon, Yang Mi received the address from the other party.

   "It's okay, not too far..."

  Give Xu Xin a look at the address, and she called Sun Ting again:

   "Hey, Tingting, come and find me at home."

   "Okay, sister."

  …

   At 5 o'clock in the evening, the rush hour has already begun.

  After the two children were settled, the three of them drove to the address Zhang Ziyi had mentioned.

  There is nothing special for the couple to explain.

  Going out, the couple is actually no different from teammates who cooperate with each other.

  If you say something wrong, I will be responsible for covering it up. If I am impulsive, you will be responsible for stopping it.

   Nothing more than that.

   It is not known what the game is tonight, but the two of them have only one goal.

   Pull Liang Bingning out and keep her away from this circle of right and wrong.

   Even if she wants to.

  Because of a very cruel fact...it has nothing to do with acting skills or fame, Liang Bingning and Zhang Ziyi are simply incomparable.

   That is a serious and ruthless man.

He took the grape skin spit out of his mouth for Cheng Long, dated Huo Qishan for two years at the royal dinner in Monaco, and then escaped unscathed after breaking into the upper-class celebrities in Hong Kong. Captured Ivy Niwo, who is said to be worth a lot of money and is the largest shareholder of Yahoo...

  Even if there is a beach door this year, there are no real ruthless people who have made any waves in China.

  What lies behind her has always been a mystery.

   Even many people don't understand why she can have such a high status in the West.

   Being able to use "international" as a nickname, and going to those celebrity dinners from time to time, making friends with various world celebrities...

   All of this is beyond Liang Bingning's comparison.

   Zhao Xinyu can wrestle with Zhang Ziyi, Xu Xinxin.

  Besides, he believed that if the two really confront each other head-on, Zhang Ziyi must lose.

   Never mind who is behind Zhang Ziyi, it's useless.

   She must have lost.

   But the question is... What does Liang Bingning have?

   She has nothing.

   Fame and status are too illusory for Zhao Xinyu's position.

  If he followed his guess, then Liang Bingning must be the fish in the pond that was affected by the disaster.

  But today he got some inconvenient things from Zhao Xinyu again... The previous attitude of sitting on the sidelines is impossible.

  God knows what the old man has to do with her.

  Maybe when this matter is over, he will ask the old man and tell him about it by the way.

  By the way, look at the attitude of the old man.

   But now… gotta get the guy out.

  …

   "AQUA...VITAE~ water of life?"

  At the entrance of the winery, after the three got out of the car, Yang Mi looked at the front of this foreign winery, and whispered.

"what?"

  Xu Xin asked.

  Yang Mi shook her head:

   "This string of English seems to mean the water of life."

"oh."

  He straightened his clothes without much interest, and stretched out his hand:

   "Let's go."

"Um."

  Wearing black woolen coats at the same time, the two walked up the steps step by step, arm in arm, and walked into the winery.

   Reported the room number, and the waiter led the way in this rather small winery, leading the three of them all the way to the door of a box.

  After pushing open the door, Xu Xin heard bursts of laughter, as well as some very, very weak tobacco smells.

   Turning his head, he saw a few people sitting on a row of emerald green leather sofas in this imitation wooden house building with a deer head model.

...

  Not including the three of us, there are six people in total.

   And they seem to have chatted for a while, and there are still red wine glasses on the table in front of the sofa.

  Seeing Yang Mi, Xu Xin, and Sun Ting coming in, Zhang Ziyi and Liang Bingning stood up first.

   "Mimi~"

  Liang Bingning yelled, while Zhang Ziyi greeted her with a smile.

  While walking, he opened his arms.

   seems to want to hug Yang Mi.

  That look is so close.

   After Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, a smile appeared on her face, and she greeted her:

   "Sister Zhang, Sister Bingbing."

   Yes, the names have been changed.

   "I'm sorry, we came late, it took some time mainly to coax the children and add traffic jams."

   While apologizing, Yang Mi hugged Zhang Ziyi, who was blushing.

"It's fine."

   Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Ziyi finished hugging, then looked at Xu Xin:

   "Director Xu, hello."

  Xu Xin smiled politely and nodded:

   "Ms. Zhang, hello."

   "You are the last one to come, so drink more later."

"OK."

  Xu Xin readily agreed.

  Red wine only.

  This stuff is too sour for him to walk around.

   It doesn't matter.

  After greeting her, Zhang Ziyi said to Yang Mi:

   "Mimi, I have arranged everyone's assistants next door."

   "...Tingting, you go to the next door. See you later."

  Hearing this, Sun Ting nodded:

   "Good sister."

   Saying that, Sun Ting walked out.

   After she left and closed the door, Zhang Ziyi smiled and said:

   "Come on, let me introduce you two."

  Xu Xin and Yang Mi walked to these people with polite and polite smiles on their faces.

  Let’s not mention the people Xu Xin recognized just now, let’s just talk about the few people he didn’t know.

  When Xu Xin heard the name "Wang Ke", Xu Xin vaguely felt that he had heard of this person somewhere.

  But I can’t remember it for a while.

   When introducing that "Huang Youlong", Xu Xin remembered it belatedly.

  A few months ago, when I was gossiping with my wife there, my wife mentioned that Zhao Wei was dating a Singaporean businessman whose name seemed to be that.

   And judging from the intimate behavior of the two, it seems that they are really a couple.

  As for the woman Xu Xin found somewhat familiar, she turned out to be an actress, named Liu Tao.

  Zhang Ziyi, Liang Bingning, Zhao Wei, Huang Youlong, Liu Tao and Wang Ke.

  Counting myself and my wife, there are eight people in total.

  Do you play mahjong?

   Two tables?

  With doubts, he took the wine glass handed by Liang Bingning.

  Yang Mi doesn't drink alcohol, she is breastfeeding after all, so she holds a glass of water and politely stands with Xu Xin:

   "We are late, we punish ourselves with a drink, everyone forgive me."

  The newly-promoted double-actress, with the background of the coal boss, the two films have achieved a box office worth of 500 million, and Xu Xin, who is extremely low-key, raised his glass together.

   And everyone is very polite.

   Holding up the glass, he sipped some wine more or less.

  Seeing that it was almost time for people to come, Zhang Ziyi held the cup and said:

   "Then let's take a seat and start serving the food."

  Her employer has spoken, and the others have no objections.

   They each found a seat in front of the very westernized long table.

  Yang Mi also gradually realized that tonight's game seemed interesting, so she pulled Xu Xin to sit at the end of the long table in a very low-key manner.

   "Mimi, Director Xu, can you sit here? Don't sit so far away."

  As Zhang Ziyi said, she asked the two of them to sit to the left of her.

  Yang Mi's eyes moved.

   Reasonable... The people at this table are definitely not based on who sits in the front and who sits in the back, right?

   It should be about some strength.

   Can you talk about your strength and let yourself and your husband be next to her?

   Sit next to her?

   This is where it gets interesting.

  But on second thought...could it be because of my father-in-law?

  Don't care about Zhao Xinyu and Zhang Ziyi now, she should have been a frequent visitor of Chang'an Club before.

   Could it be that the father-in-law has also dealt with her?

  So, she smiled and waved her hand:

   "Sister Zhang, don't flatter us, we are the youngest, just be a little transparent."

   "Oh, it's okay. I haven't seen you in a few years, why don't you get close? Come, come, you two sit here."

   Zhang Ziyi said this, and the two of them were helpless.

  Thus, on the left hand side of Zhang Ziyi, the chief seat, the two became important guests.

  Others continue to row down like that, sitting on both sides.

  Xu Xin, who was seated, wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in her gourd.

  Besides, so many people were called over to talk about things... Isn't she afraid that there are some mobs here?

  Xu Xin kept muttering in his heart.

   After taking her seat, Zhang Ziyi smiled and said:

   "I called you both in the afternoon, I hung up first, and then I didn't answer. I thought you two had something to say about me."

   "How can it be."

  Yang Mi smiled and shook her head:

   "We both had something to do in the afternoon, and we were busy at the time, so we didn't take time off. I just muted the phone."

   "Is that so... Hey, Mimi, Xu Xin, have you two joined any department such as the Artists Association?"

   "Well, no."

  Yang Mi shook her head:

   "Nothing has been added, I think these things are too cumbersome, and I have never been interested."

   "Is that so..."

  Zhang Ziyi didn't say much.

  She seems to know how to chat in such a very Westernized occasion.

  So after asking Yang Mi this question at the beginning, I chatted with Zhao Wei about "Painted Skin".

  Then is whether Liu Tao has considered coming back after marriage... Then Liang Bingning is so tired this year, next year will definitely be a blowout year or something.

   Party.

   Just picked it up and everyone listened and chatted comfortably.

   And no one was left behind.

  Following her words, Xu Xin finally remembered who this Liu Tao and her husband Wang Ke were.

   "Four Young Masters in Beijing".

  I didn't hear this name from Yang Mi, but from Da Lao Wang.

  You remember that the elder king was full of disdain back then, so I forgot the original words. But the general meaning is "what [beep] Fourth young master in the capital, the three melons and two dates in his pocket are not enough to buy a pair of insoles, this kind of poor [beep]"...

  Anyway, what you say is contemptuous inside and out.

   There is no way, the big old king can't see that others have more money than him.

  Since everyone is fighting for their father, then no one should say anything.

   Talk with banknotes.

  At that time, he curiously asked who was in the Four Young Masters in the capital, and it seemed that there was such a person.

  Then, it became clear to him.

  The cash in this pocket is probably not worth 10 billion.

Um.

  Brother, you are a bit poor.

  Of course, thinking about it, he and Yang Mi were still smiling and listening to everyone chatting there.

  When asked about his topic, he would just chat a few words.

   Didn’t ask myself, just used it as a vase.

   Make up your mind to talk less and eat more tonight.

  After all, as Zhang Ziyi said just now, the French cuisine of this winery is a serious French chef, not the Sichuan Xiaojie Xibei product.

   On the contrary, it was Yang Mi who would say something from time to time and began to show her social skills.

   Waited until the first dish was served, and everyone started to move their knives and forks.

  The first course is fish.

  Xu Xin ate so-so, the main taste was quite bland.

  But the salad that comes with this dish tastes good, and it’s quite enjoyable to eat with bread.

   While eating, Zhang Ziyi took a sip of wine to clear her mouth and said;

   "Mimi, Xu Xin, you two came late in the afternoon, and I finished talking with them. Let me talk to you two again... I plan to start an actor industry union. I don't know if you two are interested."

   "..."

   "..."

  The couple said...

coming.

  But Yang Mi's first reaction after hearing this was: That's it?

  The Actors Union...isn't there an official one?

   Motion Picture and Television Artists Guild.

  What's the use of playing with this thing?

   But Xu Xin narrowed his eyes.

   Then, he used the action of tearing the bread as a cover, and he said in a seemingly "casual question":

   "Trade unions? What kind of nature? Our country seems to have its own?"

   Upon hearing this, before Zhang Ziyi could answer, Liang Bingning, who was next to him, spoke first:

   "No, it's the practitioners' union. Similar to Hollywood, it integrates all actors, regardless of size, and performs their acting careers under the premise of guarantee."

   "..."

   Xu Xin would not be surprised if Zhang Ziyi said this.

  But it came out of her mouth... the taste was a bit different to Xu Xin.

  He could hear this eagerness.

  Obviously, Liang Bingning seems to agree?

   His heart sank.

   After thinking about it, he pretended to be ignorant and asked:

   "The Hollywood kind?"

  Liang Bingning nodded:

"right."

  The two looked at each other.

   And Xu Xin saw again... what he hadn't seen from the other party for a long time, the thing called "ambition".

   Obviously, she wanted this right.

  I think it is of great benefit to myself.

   But understandable.

  Hollywood actors union is really powerful, this is recognized by everyone.

  Don’t mention anything else, let’s talk about the protection of low-level actors.

   The simplest example.

  Take "Wulin Biography" as an example.

   "Wulin Biography" is so popular that it doesn't worry about selling it every year.

  From this point, it can be said that Xu Xin has already made a lot of money.

   But what about actors? Whether it's Sha Yi or Yan Ni or those group performers.

  For them, the fate between Wulin Gaiden and them is over.

  After the movie is filmed and the pay is paid, the follow-up has nothing to do with you.

   But Hollywood is different.

  If "Wulin Biography" is released in Hollywood, the actors will get paid for every round of broadcast on every TV station.

  The leading role is to play according to the round to get money.

   But those extras have money too.

  Every round they play, they get to pass on their contribution to the episode... like lines. A certain actor has a line in the episode, and every time the episode airs, he speaks the line on the screen, and there will be a revenue.

  These incomes are directly linked to broadcast copyright fees.

  Although it may be as little as possible, it may only be a hundred or so yuan per playback. But he never gave this income to the actors for less than one point.

   Never swallow it alone.

   And how did you get this right?

  Answer: The trade union won it for you.

  You have paid the dues and enjoy the membership rights of the actors' union.

  Then these things will naturally be done by the trade union for you and strive for benefits for you.

  Everyone is mutually beneficial.

  As the leader of the labor union, on the one hand, while fighting for the interests of the members, it is also equivalent to holding the actor in his hands and becoming a bargaining chip.

   To put it bluntly, if you are told to strike, you have to strike. What do you have to do...

  Because members also have to fulfill their obligations.

  And the Actors Union of China...

  Well, I understand everything.

  Although it is a bit extreme, domestically speaking, there is indeed a blank in this area.

   At first glance, it is promising.

  But if someone asked Xu Xin in private, "Hey, let's learn from Hollywood, how about a trade union?" Xu Xin would definitely laugh.

  You have a peaceful life, but you have to make yourself uncomfortable?

  The things made by capitalists...can there be something interesting?

   Can it suit us?

  What are you thinking...

  Zhang Ziyi has eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard?

  Who gave her the courage to do this?

   Liang Jingru?

  So inflated?

   Or who gave her a bad idea? Let her feel that this is a broad road to continue upward?

   They are all sitting in this position... Can't tell what can be done and what can't be done?

  Don't care who you are connected with, you can't do this kind of thing.

   Isn't this just delusional?

   And Zhang Ziyi is fine.

  Sister Bingbing, what do you think, old man?

   You don’t really think this can be done, do you?

  Thinking of this, he slowly lowered his hand under the table.

   Looks like he's thinking.

   While thinking, look around.

  Someone's eyes are shining, as if they are looking for a confidant.

   Some people are calm, eating and drinking non-stop.

  Looking around, he looked at Zhang Ziyi:

   "It sounds pretty good. It must be a great achievement to protect the rights and interests of the actors."

  Zhang Ziyi's eyes lit up.

  But immediately I heard Xu Xin say:

"It's a pity, we don't know much about these things, and our qualifications are too low. We can only wait for Sister Zhang to finish it, and then we will come to join you... Well, this fish tastes good, I want to add another portion to it. Haha!~"

   Subtext: You make it, I will join if it works, and I won’t participate if it doesn’t work.

   Zhang Ziyi was never given a chance to tell her "ideal".

   Rejected her in the most polite way, and changed the subject.

  The voice fell.

   Frowning slightly, Liang Bingning who was about to speak was suddenly taken aback.

  Because, a hand reached out from under the table, put it on her leg in thick stockings, and pinched it.

   Leave after pinching.

  No regrets at all.

  The meaning has already been laid out:

"Shut up."
