I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

   Chapter 604 602. Home

  Don't tell me.

  The taste of the meat is good, and the taste of this broth is also good.

   Broth + noodle soup is washed out, and it is quite comfortable to eat with this noodle.

   Just…

   "Are you sure you don't want to eat?"

  Looking at Liang Bingning, who was eating green vegetables in a vegetable leaf bowl, Xu Xin asked.

   "Don't eat."

  Liang Bingning shook her head:

   "I have a fat-prone physique, especially at this time, eating a bowl of noodles will definitely gain three catties tomorrow."

   "This... okay."

  He began to smudge the noodles.

   Then just like chatting, suddenly pointed to the top:

   "Sister, do you know who lives upstairs?"

   "..."

  Liang Bingning was stunned for a moment, blinking her eyes, and asked:

   "Who is it?"

   "That novelist Guo Jingming."

"Well…"

  Liang Bingning didn't seem to be surprised, but nodded after being stunned for a while:

   "Sociable?"

   "No... but... encountered an embarrassing thing once."

   After recounting the last time she smoked on the balcony and accidentally overheard the conversation between two men, Liang Bingning was speechless.

   "Can this happen to you?"

   After finishing speaking, the topic changed:

   "But it's normal."

   "...?"

  Xu Xin was taken aback:

   "What the hell? Normal?"

   "Yes, it's normal."

  Liang Bingning smiled:

   "This kind of thing is very common, it's just that you have been in the industry for a short time and you don't know it. Some people are born with it, while others are women who have had enough fun and start to move closer to men. It's too normal."

   "..."

  The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched, and the muscles on his face began to lose control:

   "You said you were born, I believe it. But this woman has played enough... Is this okay?"

   "Okay. Why not?"

  Liang Bingning responded to him with an expression of "you're making a fuss":

"That's why I said that your entry time is short. Moreover, you started too high, so you can't see the underlying ecology. This kind of thing is very normal... When I had dinner with several directors, everyone would talk about these things. As for them, what they say is hearsay, you can treat it as a fake.

   But some people will always tell the truth. For example, a certain director picked ten or eight girls to go back to the room together. For example, a certain producer specially chooses a show with a lot of handsome guys to watch... It's not surprising that he has seen a lot of them. "

   As she spoke, she looked at Xu Xin's expression that she didn't know how to describe, and shook her head with a smile:

"People's desires are sometimes strange, so no matter what happens in this circle, there is no need to be surprised. Because what is hidden is often more **** than what is revealed... But as long as you become famous, these things will disappear. Appearing around you It's just like-minded people...It's magical, but it's so real."

   "..."

  Xu Xin really didn't know what to say.

   Among other things, he just couldn't understand the matter of "women have had enough fun, start playing with men".

  This orientation...can it be changed?

  What about psychology?

   Curious?

   Or is it just born like this?

   Puzzled, he and Liang Bingning chatted on this topic. After chatting for a meal, the time came to 10:30 in the evening.

  Liang Bingning stood up and said goodbye.

  Xu Xin didn't hold her back either, but sent her to the elevator entrance, watched the elevator door close, and returned to the house.

   "Brother Xu, I'm going to bed if there's nothing else to do?"

   "Well, you go to sleep."

  Xu Xin nodded, took his mobile phone and sent a message to his wife:

   "Are you asleep?"

  No reply.

  Xu Xin estimated that she should be sleeping.

   Tut.

   Opened the video of his son and daughter from his mobile phone and looked at it. He yawned a little bored.

   Want to find something to do, but don't know what to do.

  After filming "33 Days", he felt a strange sense of slack.

  I don't want to do anything.

   After thinking about it, he finally found out the spoken English book that Ai Qing brought him from his bag.

   After opening it, he muttered.

   "Squeeze, oil... Ai Mufan... Huh? There is no such "reason"?"

  Anyway, it is a little bit to learn a little bit.

   Anyway, there is nothing to do.

  …

   Early in the morning on the 3rd, before 8 o'clock, Gulfstream soared into the sky and flew towards Tokyo.

  When I arrived at Haneda Airport, it was almost 12:00 Tokyo time.

   Because of the need to enter the customs, the two of them were delayed for a while. At around 12:30, I finally met up with the people from Xiying Studio who came to pick me up.

   "Director Xu, Liang Tuan, I'm Chen He. The factory asked me to take charge of the itinerary and team leader for the Tokyo Film Festival."

  The man named Chen He is a lean man around 40 years old.

   After introducing himself, he stepped aside.

   Two women in their thirties and wearing business attire next to them bowed at the same time, and introduced themselves in a kind of Mandarin that is indeed correct, but it is easy to hear the difference in accent:

   "Director Xu Xin, Ms. Liang, hello, both of you. This is the first time we meet. I am Junko Watanabe/Ai Kamihara, the interpreter for this Tokyo Film Festival. Please give me your advice."

   Following the self-introduction of the two Japanese translators, Xu Xin and Liang Bingning greeted them with a smile.

   Then I heard Chen He say:

   "Director Xu, Tuan Liang, because we have three movies, so the schedule is separate. I communicated with Director Li in the past few days, and she said that you have received the schedule notice."

  Liang Bingning nodded:

   "Yes, everything is arranged. Then I will follow the itinerary notice?"

"OK, all right."

  Chen He responded, then turned to look at Xu Xin:

   "Director Xu, your itinerary here will be a bit special. There is an invitation to you from a TV talk show here, and we all think you can be invited to participate."

"…talk show?"

  Xu Xin was a little curious.

  Chen He nodded:

"Yes, it's called "Tetsuko's Room". It is a national-level talk show in Japan. The only director who has been on it so far is Director Zhang. He was on it once in 1990 during the promotion of "Ju Dou" in Japan. That is, from After that, no one from the Celestial Dynasty has been on this show again... They have sent you a special invitation this time..."

   "The old man fucked?"

   Now, Xu Xin became interested.

   After thinking about it, he said:

   "I'll call the old man later and ask, if it's possible, I'll do it, how about it?"

"OK."

  Chen He nodded:

   "The other itinerary, the factory will arrange it?"

"Can."

  Xu Xin agreed.

   Then everyone started to get in the car.

  Just getting in the car, Xu Xin looked at the steering wheel on the right, and his first reaction was how awkward it is to put the left hand in gear...

   Then he took out his phone and called the old man.

  The call was connected quickly.

"Hello?"

  Because of the translation, Xu Xin did not turn on the speakerphone, and asked directly:

   "Are you busy?"

   "Just finished the meeting, what happened?"

   "Well, I'm in Japan. They invited me to be on a talk show called..."The Room of the Car"? Or something..."

   ""Tetsuko's Room"?"

  As soon as he heard the name, Zhang Yimou remembered it, and said with a smile:

   "That show is pretty good. I was on it, and Takakura Ken was on it too. They invited you? Then you can go too, it's good."

   "That's it... that's fine, then I agree. When I came, I brought a ginseng from home. Would you like to send it to Gao Cangjian for you?"

   "Take it specially?"

   "Sure."

   "Alright, then when you go, I'll tell him."

   "Well... I don't know the specific itinerary yet. Just for these two days, I'll go back and ask Mengmeng to discuss the event process, and then I'll contact you?"

"good."

   After chatting for a few words, Zhang Yimou hung up the phone.

   Then Xu Xin said to Chen He:

"I agreed."

"Uh-huh!"

  Chen He responded, and followed the car's translator, Shang Yuanai, to communicate for a while. Shang Yuanai nodded, took out his mobile phone and started talking on the phone.

  Xu Xin couldn't understand Japanese, so he just asked Chen He casually:

   "Is the crew of "The Piano of Steel" all here?"

   "Everyone is here, waiting for us at the hotel."

   "Is director Li Pingdong in the same hotel as us?"

   "No, Director Li is in another hotel. But he contacted me yesterday and said that because of his status, he can only see you on the 5th."

"OK."

  Xu Xin didn't ask any more questions, but turned to look at the tall buildings outside Haneda Airport.

   This is his second visit to Japan.

  The first time I followed the members of the Olympic Games, came here to pick up LED screens and inspect them.

  Because of the confidentiality regulations at the time, the itinerary of the group was relatively fixed, and he didn't have time to take a good look at the city.

   And walking here now, he actually wants to go to a place in his heart.

   But I'm too embarrassed to speak.

   That is Kabukicho.

   Not that he's going over there to buy a lollipop or something...mainly curiosity.

   is really curious.

   But...he's a celebrity anyway.

   It’s only a three-day trip here, and I’m going straight to Kabukicho... It’s not easy to say or sound.

  I can go for a stroll by myself.

  But the unfamiliar place...

never mind.

   Alternatives.

  He asked Chen He:

   "Where is Akihabara?"

"Well…"

  Chen He froze for a moment, and looked at Xu Xin with strange eyes.

   Didn’t see it.

   Director Xu is also a 2D character?

   After thinking about it, he asked:

   "Director Xu is very interested in these?"

   "..."

   Now it was Xu Xin's turn to look strangely.

  How do you hear the meaning of this, as if I shouldn't be interested?

  I am only 24 years old this year.

   Then he said:

   "I want to go shopping, Yang Mi really likes handmade."

   "Then tell Ms. Shangyuan and ask her to take Director Xu for a stroll? Anyway, our itinerary this time is actually not very intensive."

"good."

  Looking at Shang Yuanai who was on the phone, Xu Xin smiled and nodded.

   That's all.

   I can’t go to Kabukicho, should I go to the Akihabara head office?

  …

   Soon, the commercial vehicle arrived in Roppongi, where the crew designated by the Tokyo Film Festival stayed at the hotel.

  But this time Xu Xin didn't get the kind of treatment he got in China...

  In other words, Japanese and Chinese people have slightly different perceptions of "business suites".

   Anyway, their business suite room is quite small.

  But Xu Xin didn't mind. After handing over the packing to Su Meng, he went downstairs with Chen He and came to the alley behind the hotel where he was staying.

  The road is very narrow.

  But there are many restaurants on both sides of the road.

  Tokyo's bustling is quietly showing a corner to him.

   Soon, including Yuan Ai, the three of them came to a... I don’t know what it’s called, but it’s just a small restaurant with the word “Yuan Bird” in its name.

  Pushing the door and walking in, the three of them came to the only table in the small shop where they sat on the tatami mats, amidst the waiter's greeting of "one pull and one plug".

   "Director Xu."

  Zhang Meng got up first, followed by Wang Qianyuan and Qin Hailu.

   "Hi, Director Xu."

  The two greeted Xu Xin respectively.

  Xu Xin nodded with a smile.

   "Hello, both of you."

  He finally met the two protagonists of "The Piano of the Piano".

  Although everyone is very polite, they are not particularly born.

   It is useless to order food. Xu Xin is in charge. These people look like customers who have eaten here. After ordering something like "chicken oysters" and "lanterns", Zhang Meng said:

   "Director Xu just arrived?"

   "Yes, I just came here. How are you doing these days?"

  Hearing his words, Zhang Meng's eyes flashed with excitement.

   Nod vigorously:

   "It's all good! I really didn't expect the movie to be so popular!"

   "Ha~"

  Xu Xin chuckled lightly:

   "That means everyone's efforts have not been let down. Brother Chen, the rules of the Tokyo Film Festival are similar to those of the Nine Film Festivals?"

   "Yes, there is basically no difference."

   "Then... so Mr. Wang and Mr. Qin are also qualified to compete for the Best Actor and Queen?"

  Hearing Xu Xin call himself "teacher", Wang Qianyuan quickly waved his hands to express his humility.

  And Qin Hailu said very readily:

   "I don't think I'll have a chance as the actress. If nothing else, Liang Bingning's performance is better than mine."

   "Haha, Teacher Qin's performance is not bad."

  Xu Xin made room for Liang Bingning.

   Then I didn't get too entangled in this topic, but started chatting about this film festival like a small talk.

   This is the first time Wang Qianyuan has set foot on the big screen, and he has been active in TV dramas before. In addition, the West Film Studio had already offered him an olive branch, so when facing Xu Xin, he mostly talked with praise.

  What about Qin Hailu, it can be seen that... these sisters really have a lot of personality.

  He has a straight temper and doesn't bend too much.

   But not offensive.

  Although everyone met for the first time, the atmosphere was really good.

   "The Piano of the Steel" cannot be judged as "brilliant" at this Tokyo Film Festival.

   It's not there yet.

   But this movie is surprisingly comfortable, like the staple food of a meal.

   Absolutely can not do without.

  So in these days, it has maintained a very good score and topic discussion.

  People are in good spirits on happy occasions.

  Movies have such achievements, and even their faces are shining.

   Except for the "lantern" Xu Xin who can't accept the taste, the other tastes of this store are also good.

   Generally speaking, it is a very comfortable meal.

   After the meal, Shang Yuanai also brought news.

   "Chezi's Room" invited Xu Xin to record tomorrow afternoon.

  The recording time is from 14:00 to 16:00 in the afternoon.

  2 hours of time.

  Xu Xin readily agreed.

   And everyone who finished eating also set off for the first trip.

  The interview and publicity link of "Movie".

  Although Xu Xin has the name of a producer, he did not answer many interviews this time.

  He consciously left the halo to Zhang Meng and the others.

   And this is also the communication between Xiying Studio and the magazine.

   As an authoritative domestic film media magazine, no matter how famous Xu Xin is, as the producer of "The Piano of Steel", he cannot compete with the director and actors of the film crew.

   Even if you want to ask, you can't ask too much.

  Otherwise, the professionalism of the interview will definitely be questioned.

  In the interview, when the reporter asked how he and Zhang Meng met, the two also gave a unified answer, that is, they met at the Golden Rooster Awards in "Blessed Ears".

  Shen Xiaoyang is not suitable to appear here because of Fan Wei and Mr. Benshan.

   All in all, the one-hour interview was pretty easy.

  The interview with "Movie" ended, and the crew immediately followed the arrangement of the Tokyo Film Festival to conduct another wave of reporter questions.

  It took a little longer this time.

   After all, interviews are converted through translation.

  By the time it was over, it was already 5 o'clock in the evening.

  It is said that Japanese people like to work overtime, but I can't see it in the interviews.

   After confirming that today's itinerary is over, Xu Xin directly sent a question to Yuan Ai:

   "Miss Kamigen, I want to visit Akihabara. When is the best time?"

  When Shang Yuanai heard this, she immediately said:

   "You can do it now. Akihabara was very lively before the subway stopped. Is Director Xu Xin going?"

   Then what are you waiting for?

  Let’s go.

  Anyway, the translation is billed by the hour, and I didn’t work overtime during the interview... Then I should work overtime for private trips.

  The cost is calculated in the factory.

  In the car, Kamigen Ai was like a tour guide, introducing Akihabara's "otaku culture" to Xu Xin.

   Moreover, Xu Xin guessed that there was something wrong with the composition of these sisters.

  Because when she asked what comics she likes, Xu Xin said:

   "One Piece."

   But after hearing this sentence, she told herself:

   "Director Xu Xin, it happens to be the release date of "Saint Seiya THELOOSTCANVAS Hades Myth"! It's very lively over there!"

  Are you saying this is not a neurosis?

  I am One Piece Chef, you recommend me comics my age...

   Bad intentions.

   It's still the same sentence, XP is wrong, and everything is in vain.

  But the fact is that...

   There are so many people who like "Saint Seiya" in Japan.

  Standing in front of the Akihabara subway station, he looked at a huge poster hanging on the wall of a shopping mall, and instantly felt the air of the second dimension around him become thicker.

   "Miss Shangyuan, that maid cafe..."

   "..."

  Listening to his words, the corner of Kamimoto Ai who was watching Ashmita drooling twitched...

  It's as if... the 24-year-old young boy in front of me wants to try the maid omurice, which is more embarrassing than her 30-year-old aunt who is a fan of Ashmita.

   But it's not surprising when you think about it.

   Unless it is an animation director.

   In Japan, the director is the pinnacle of the entertainment industry.

  Every director has a pivotal position.

  The Japanese pay attention to the "unity of knowledge and action".

  Whatever your status is, you have to match your status and preferences.

  A director like Xu Xin doesn't mention his age, what he likes... At least it must be some kind of elegant art, right?

  But now I actually want to go to a maid cafe...

   This is too cute for Cassie.

  But what Xu Xin thought was quite simple.

  Anyway, in a foreign country...who knows whom?

   is saying...he's the director.

   It's not too much to collect materials.

  I don’t even go to Kabukicho anymore, what else do you want!

  So...

   "Let's go, first go around, and then try the maid's omurice."

   "..."

  …

   "This is "Shounen Jump"?"

   Walking into a shopping mall full of various 2D elements, Xu Xin asked curiously while looking at the thick books on the row of bookshelves at the entrance.

   "That's right. Here is the latest issue of "Shounen Jump", and "JUMP+", and here are the booklets..."

  Shangyuan Ai gave Xu Xin an introduction, and Xu Xin picked up a book and flipped through it...

  All Japanese, can't understand.

   And at this moment, he heard a voice:

   "Help me ask, is there a booklet for "Saint Seiya: Hades Myth"?"

  People from the Celestial Dynasty?

  He subconsciously turned his head.

   Then I saw a... a little fat, with glasses, and a little short hair... Well, to use the description that best suits the atmosphere in front of me, it is "OTAKU" who is asking a question to a woman next to him.

  This buddy is at least 30+.

  He has all the qualities of an "otaku".

   Such as plaid shirts, such as backpacks, such as the T-shirt of "Saint Seiya" inside the plaid shirt.

   And he probably didn't expect to meet fellow countrymen here, and he was staring at the waiter in the bookstore at the moment.

   I saw the waiter chatting a lot to the woman. After the woman nodded, she asked a few more questions, and finally nodded:

   "Chen Sang, I asked her if she has any separate volumes of "Saint Seiya" from issue 39 in 2006 to the present, and she said that there are still collections. But the price is very expensive."

  The middle-aged fat uncle named "Chen Sang" heard this and immediately asked:

   "Is it all? Is it brand new?"

  The woman translated again, then nodded:

   "Yes, brand new and unopened. As of now, 188 episodes, 22 volumes, author's gold signed copy, 150,000 yen."

   "Buy it!"

  The fat man took out his wallet without any hesitation at all.

After the translator nodded to the clerk, the clerk bowed immediately, and then went to the glass display cabinet behind, put on white gloves, opened the glass door, and carefully took out sets of "Saint Seiya" from inside. "Booklet.

  The corners of Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

  It doesn't matter if you have money or not.

   Ten thousand yen is 800 yuan.

  The 150,000 is just over 10,000 points.

  But the problem is...

  The smell of "house" exuding from this buddy is too strong.

  At this time, the clerk said something to the translator again.

  The translator nodded and said to the fat man:

   "Chen Sang, she asked you if you want a gold-bound commemorative gift box. There are five out-of-print posters in it, all of which are reprinted by Mr. Chetian. The box can also be used to hold these books, and it only costs 5,000 yen."

"want!"

  The fat man didn't hesitate at all, and took out another 10,000 card from his wallet.

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

  Xu Xin could see it now, compared with others, he seemed like a younger brother.

   After the fat man took out the money, he finally noticed the gaze that had been looking at him.

  So, he and Xu Xin's eyes met.

   It’s okay not to look at it, but this look...

  In an instant, he recognized Xu Xin:

   "Xu... Director Xu?"

  Since just now, Xu Xin, who has been greatly surprised by this man's homework operation, is not hypocritical when he hears this address, and nods generously:

   "Well, hello big brother."

   His big brother is sincere...

  This man... is the real big brother.

  The taste is too positive.

  He just came to Akihabara to gain knowledge and see a fresh newcomer, which is not at the same level.

   But after hearing his address, the fat man was stunned...

  Suddenly laughed out loud:

"Ha ha."

   While laughing, he took the initiative to come over and stretched out his hand:

   "Director Xu, hello, Jinshan Network co-founder, Chen Rui."

   "...?"

  Xu Xin was taken aback.

What the hell?

   Kingsoft Internet... Kingsoft Internet Security! ?

   Tell me, it turns out that the pain in the joints of the fingers the day before yesterday was not a simple finger pain, but a fever. I had joint pain the day before yesterday, and I had a low fever all day yesterday, but it didn't really affect my condition. But today is not enough. Today, the nasal cavity of the whole person is like being breathed to death by cement.

   I can't sneeze, my head hurts when I hit it hard, and I cry non-stop when I stare at the computer.

   The most important thing is that I don't dare to cough my lungs. When I cough and breathe, it feels like... an uncomfortable feeling of being breathed to death by phlegm.

And this is not over, there is one more thing...About the most important part of the plot I originally arranged for the Tokyo Film Festival, I can't write... It's about "independence". I asked the editor and it passed the line. Can't write.

   The mentality exploded instantly.

   It's too uncomfortable, I'll just change it today.

   I take it easy.
