I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 110 108. Hey, are you there? Is Mimi by your side?

When Xu Xin walked into the small conference room, there were only three people there, Zhang Yimou, Zhang Wu, and Wei Lanfang.

The meeting hasn't started yet, and everyone hasn't arrived yet.

Wei Lanfang glanced at Xu Xin, whose hair was still wet, and asked with a smile:

"Xiao Xu, are you going to the gym again?"

"Um."

Xu Xin nodded, sat next to her, and said with a smile:

"I just met Liu Yifei at the gym."

"Yeah, is it true?"

Wei Lanfang was a little surprised.

But I wasn't as excited as when I saw Jay Chou before.

I don’t know if it’s because of same-sex repulsion or because they’re just passers-by.

On the contrary, it was Zhang Wu who asked curiously:

"Just that little girl with a very fairy temperament?"

"right."

Xu Xin responded:

"I met her at the gym. She was quite enthusiastic. Her coach even helped me correct my movements."

"She... I remember Mimi said she would come to visit the class in a few days, right?"

Hearing Wei Lanfang's words, Xu Xin's first reaction was to glance at Zhang Yimou.

As a result, Director Zhang was frowning in a daze.

He had told Director Zhang a few days ago about visiting the class.

Director Zhang doesn't care.

An actor is an actor, and a director is a director. It doesn't mean that when Liu Yifei comes to visit the class, Zhang Yimou has to receive him warmly... That's nonsense.

Most visits by actors are private matters for the actors themselves. The director is busy filming, and the actors who come to visit the class are unlikely to disturb him.

It's against the rules and etiquette.

You go with whoever comes to visit the crew. As for bringing some drinks, water and other snacks to the crew, it's the same as bringing two boxes of fruit in your hand when someone is a guest.

The two sides are not next to each other.

"right."

Xu Xin nodded:

"The relationship is not bad. Besides, her drama will be finished tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I guess my friends will be reluctant to part with her, so they will come to visit her."

Although he said that, the meaning of protecting Yang Mi in his words could not be faked.

Wei Lanfang and Zhang Wu also understood the meaning.

In fact, it doesn't matter to the two of them.

During this period of time, anyone with a discerning eye could see the state of Xiao Xu and Mimi.

In addition, they are all in this circle, so everyone knows what is behind the so-called visiting team.

To put it bluntly, it wasn’t Mimi who was being explored at all.

It's about human nature.

Knowing this, Wei Lanfang stopped asking any more questions.

Director Zhang had no objection anyway.

Soon, people were almost here, and the creative discussion meeting that had been held at least a hundred times started again.

…

Daming Palace.

Just before 7pm.

Xu Xin held a road map in his hand and confirmed it over and over to Jay Chou.

This is another version of his optimized roadmap to deal with the martial arts scene that has been stuck for almost ten days.

If this continues, the crew's props won't be enough for him to chop.

"First, Unit 3. What is Unit 3?"

"Cut, block."

"Yes, let's go, unit 1, what should we do with unit 1?"

"Hold the knife and make a blank expression while looking left and right."

"Okay, just remember, you have to show that sense of indolence, understand? Because you are already surrounded, and your gold soldiers are surrounded by silver armored soldiers."

"Um."

"Then comes Unit 4. You must pay attention to Unit 4, because when you fall from a height, although there are wires, you have to pay special attention to your expression when you fall..."

Xu Xin rambled on, over and over again, tirelessly telling him the positioning skills for a while.

Jay Chou also listened very carefully...

But whether it can be done or not really depends on God’s will.

Otherwise, if it were that simple, it wouldn't be stuck for a week.

After repeating it several times, Xu Xin nodded:

"Okay, then I'll go back to the director, come on!"

"……Um!"

Jay Chou nodded vigorously and responded.

Xu Xin put away the script, walked out of the tent, and looked at the group of actors who were already dressed... In fact, everyone has been working hard these days.

Besides...he heard that these big scenes already cost a lot of money.

He made a rough estimate and estimated that this film would cost a small 300 million yuan to be produced... and the news in the news interview that the budget might be more than 300 million yuan should be true.

This is really burning money.

It really lives up to that sentence: once the camera turns, the secretary won’t even change...

With emotion, Xu Xin pedaled all the way up the city wall, and Xu Xin was stunned.

At a glance, he saw his girlfriend squatting on the pony.

"...Director Zhang, it's finished."

He first said hello to Zhang Yimou.

When she heard his movements, Yang Mi, who seemed to be dozing off, raised her head and showed her small white teeth.

He pulled out a small Maza and placed it next to him.

As soon as Xu Xin walked over and sat down, she leaned against Xu Xin's shoulder and narrowed her eyes:

"It's so hot that I almost fell asleep."

"There is rain in the forecast today, so the weather is a bit dull... Why are you here? Aren't you going to rest?"

"Hehe~"

When she talked about this, the joy in the girl's laughter became even more full:

"Today I performed extremely well and completed many scenes in one go. I also exceeded my quota and finished the scenes tomorrow morning... Tomorrow is the last day. After shooting the two scenes in the afternoon, I will wrap up. Next, I will go to Jiuzhaigou. I’ll add a few shots while I’m at it... shouldn’t we also go to Wulong in the later stage? It’ll be just right.”

"……Thanks for your hard work."

Upon hearing this, the girl rubbed her cheek against her boyfriend's shoulder, like a cat, expressing her joy.

"Oh, right."

Xu Xin remembered what happened in the morning and quickly said:

"In the morning, I met Liu Yifei."

"ah?"

Yang Mi was stunned:

"where?"

"Gym."

"...I asked her why she hasn't come all day today...Have you chatted?"

"Chatted."

"Well……"

Looking at his stunned girlfriend, Xu Xin took the initiative to explain everything that happened this morning without her asking.

Then...

Yang Mi’s brain circuit is also quite strange:

"Are you looking for a man?"

"...?"

"..."

"..."

Her movement was neither big nor small, and coincidentally, it was heard by several people around who were waiting to take pictures.

In an instant, several people looked at Xu Xin with strange looks.

"...I thank you."

Xu Xin rolled his eyes and then stopped talking.

He waited until everyone's strange gazes disappeared before he said:

"Aren't I afraid that you will be jealous?"

"I'm not that jealous, am I?"

The girl still rested her head on his shoulder, looking like she was sleeping.

His eyes were half-closed, and he suddenly laughed foolishly.

"Hey hey hey..."

"What are you laughing at?"

"Didn't you say you did squats this afternoon?"

"Um."

"When I think about it... Schwarzenegger is standing behind you, helping you do squats... Oops~~~~"

"...????"

You seem... to have revealed something terrible, girl.

Speechless, he said:

"Then change the scene and think about it being a woman."

"...Be specific, who?"

"Is this still concrete?... Stop digging holes for me, think for yourself."

"Then...I just miss Shanshan."

"..."

Raising her head and looking at her boyfriend's twitching cheek, the girl chuckled and leaned on his shoulder again:

"Let me think about it..."

"Tsk!"

When your boyfriend's assumptions become a picture in your mind.

Suddenly, she felt unhappy.

"No! You can only find Wuwuwu..."

Xu Xin, who had quick eyes and quick hands, covered her mouth with his palm, dumbfounded:

"You're not done yet!"

"...Hmph."

I smelled the faint smell of tobacco wafting from my boyfriend's fingers.

She felt a little more comfortable now.

As for the rest...

She doesn't really care.

Although she admitted that Liu Tianxian was beautiful...she was not an insecure person.

That night, the way her boyfriend stared into her eyes and told her seriously: "I won't lie to you" is still vivid in her mind.

She believed it.

Although this was a bit blind, she still felt that since two people chose to be together, they should give each other sufficient trust.

Otherwise, the result will be like my first love...

What she wants is definitely not that bad memory.

Therefore, trust is very important.

Just like a mirror, as long as it is not broken, the trust in the mirror will always be complete!

But again, if the mirror is broken...

Then, a complete and clear picture will never be revealed.

because……

After the hurt, there is no forgiveness.

"Brother~"

Thinking of this, her voice suddenly became soft and weak.

"Um?"

"I like you the most~"

Xu Xin was a little stunned at first, not understanding why she said such a thing.

But he still smiled and pinched the tip of her nose.

He responded with a smile:

"Um."

…

"Uh, Aunt Liu, you are here too."

Standing at the door, Huang Xiaoming saw that the door was opened, and Liu Xiaoli, who was standing behind the assistant who opened the door, looked over and said hello with a smile.

Seeing that he was coming, a friendly smile appeared on Liu Xiaoli's face:

"It's Xiao Ming, come on, come in quickly."

"Hey, okay."

Huang Xiaoming responded and walked into Liu Yifei's suite.

But he didn't see Liu Yifei, so he asked:

"Isn't Yifei back yet?"

"I'm back, but I don't want to have dinner at the hotel. Cindy will take her to have some soup with her."

"Well……"

As soon as he heard that Liu Yifei had gone out, Huang Xiaoming stopped walking forward and stood at the dividing line between the corridor and the living room at the door and said:

"Then I'll come back later?"

"No, you're already here, just wait for a while...what, do you have something to do with Sissi?"

"Well……"

Looking at Huang Xiaoming's hesitant look, Liu Xiaoli asked with a smile:

"What's going on? Even I can't know?"

Although she asked with a smile, Huang Xiaoming knew that this person on the set looked like he wanted his daughter to be isolated from all the opposite sex.

Hi.

It's hard for him to say anything about this kind of thing.

But since he was asked at this moment, he couldn't hide it, otherwise if the other party had random thoughts...

It's one thing to think about having an affair with her daughter.

What if I offend that person...

That's another story.

He said that the matter of coming to see Liu Yifei today was not a private matter.

So he smiled and said:

"No, didn't Mimi's filming go smoothly today? When she was leaving, I asked her and she said it would be completed tomorrow afternoon."

"Mimi?"

Liu Xiaoli was stunned.

"Mimi is about to finish filming?... Then you're going to join the crew of "The Golden Armor," right?"

"Yes. That's why I came here. After all, Yifei, me, and Mimi are all in the same school. A few days ago, we said that when Mimi is over, Yifei and I will go to visit the class together."

"...Visiting class?"

Liu Xiaoli was stunned again.

Huang Xiaoming didn’t think much about it and nodded:

"Yes, we agreed to go visit the class together."

"...To Director Zhang?"

"right."

"..."

For some reason, Liu Xiaoli's eyes were a little dissatisfied.

But it was fleeting.

A smile appeared on his face again:

"That's it... isn't that good? Then come today..."

"Didn't I want to ask Yifei about her time? Let's see when she is free."

"...Okay, I'll ask her when she comes back and let her contact you then, okay?"

"Hey, okay."

Huang Xiaoming nodded, knowing that this was an "expulsion order".

So he smiled and said:

"Then Aunt Liu, just talk to her, and I'll leave first."

"Okay, then I won't send it to you."

"You're welcome, I'm leaving..."

Snap.

The door is closed.

Liu Xiaoli's brows slowly wrinkled.

Then he first locked his eyes on the little girl next to him and asked in a calm tone:

"Sissi said she was going to visit Director Zhang's crew?"

"Uh... Auntie, I don't know."

The little girl also looked confused:

"Sister Fei usually doesn't talk to me about these things. She always talks to Sister Cindy."

CINDY, Cindy.

He is Liu Yifei's first assistant.

I have followed Liu Yifei since her debut, and the relationship between the two is also the closest.

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoli stared at the girl carefully for a while, and finally nodded:

"Okay...if anything happens in the future, remember to let me know, you know?"

"Mmm Good."

The little girl nodded quickly, and then breathed out for some unknown reason.

It looks like the tension is relieved.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoli frowned...

Why this expression?

She was about to ask when suddenly the phone rang.

When she picked it up and looked at it, a smile appeared on her face:

"Hey, Lao Chen."

There was a message on the other end of the phone:

"I'm downstairs, where is Sissi? Let's go have dinner together? Take Sissi to eat something good."

"Are you here?"

Liu Xiaoli was a little surprised, walked to the window and glanced downstairs.

Then he said:

"Sissi doesn't have much appetite tonight and went out to drink soup. How about you come up first?"

"Have a bad appetite?...Soup? What kind of soup can be found in this place? And there is rain in the forecast today. What should I do if I catch a cold again?...I made a reservation at Donghuang Restaurant...In this way, I called her , you come down first. Let’s pick her up.”

"Yeah, that's fine too."

Liu Xiaoli responded, and after hanging up the phone, she shouted directly to the little girl:

"Call Cindy and ask her where she is. Tell the two of them to stop eating and tell Sissi that her godfather is here..."

"OK."

The little girl quickly dialed the phone.

…

Half an hour later.

Liu Yifei, wearing a mask and hat, got out of the car with her assistant Cindy.

Cindy trotted forward and reported her room number to the waiter. The waiter at the restaurant nodded and led the two of them to a private room.

Knocked on the door and opened it.

The two walked in.

As soon as Liu Yifei entered, she saw her godfather Chen Jinfei's intimate smile:

"Girl~~~"

With that said, he stood up, opened his arms and walked over.

Liu Yifei, who had not yet had time to take off her mask and hat, had some dodges in her eyes, but finally she went up to her godfather and gave her godfather a hug. She saw the middle-aged man smiling and pointing to the place where he stood up:

"Come on, come on, sit here."

After finishing speaking, he said to Cindy and the little girl:

"You go next door and eat with my driver."

Cindy and the little girl didn't dare to say anything more. After nodding, they left the box directly.

There were only three people left in the room.

After taking off her hat and mask, Liu Yifei sat next to Chen Jinfei and looked at her mother with a helpless smile on her face:

"Mom, I've finished eating over there."

Before Liu Xiaoli could answer, Chen Jinfei said:

"If you want to drink soup, why don't you just come here? Their stewed sea cucumbers with matsutake mushrooms are delicious. You can eat them again."

"...It's too far, godfather."

"Wouldn't it be nice if the car took you there?"

The doting in Chen Jinfei's words was beyond words.

It seems as if he is saying:

"If you want any stars in the sky, your godfather will pluck them all for you."

Before Liu Yifei could answer, suddenly, Liu Xiaoli said:

"Why didn't you tell me that you were going to visit the crew of "Golden Armor"?"

"..."

Liu Yifei was stunned.

Obviously, he didn't expect how his mother would know the news.

But before she could answer, Liu Xiaoli continued:

"I just talked about this with your godfather. He will stay here for a few days. Mimi's filming in Hengdian will be completed tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, let your godfather take you to visit the class."

"no!"

Instinctively, the girl rejected the proposal outright.

Liu Xiaoli's brows wrinkled immediately.

"Why not? When you visit the class, the most you can do is go inside and take a look. You don't think that Director Zhang can still see you, do you? You may not even be able to see his face. But if your godfather goes with you, you won't It’s the same. Your godfather knows Zhang Weiping. If he says hello in advance, wouldn’t you be able to appear in front of Director Zhang? Isn’t that why you went to visit the class? Does it need to be so complicated? Just like those young actors? "

"……mom!"

Liu Yifei's tone became a little anxious:

"I... It's true that I want to develop into movies, but I can't do this! Then what am I doing? Going to see Director Zhang under the guise of visiting Ban Mimi? Then what will happen to me in Mimi? !? How despicable I am! What should people think of me?"

"What do you need her to see in you?"

Liu Xiaoli's brows were already furrowed:

"This is a world where the jungle is the law of the jungle. She just picked up a role at best. I'm not asking you to steal her role. She just filmed this movie. Let your godfather take you to meet Director Zhang and see. Whether there is a chance to cooperate in the future, that’s all. What? The relationship between you and her is not so good that she knows people, you can’t even touch them, right? Everyone relies on their own abilities and develops their own, what else? "

"That's not possible! How can you do such a thing!"

Liu Yifei still refused:

"I'll go with Huang Xiaoming. Actually, it doesn't matter to me whether I meet Director Zhang or not. I just want to see what a big-budget movie like this is like. Why do you have to put me on the shelf? Then I won't go, no. Are you ready to go? How could you do this..."

Her tone was full of reluctance.

You can't do this.

If he really takes his godfather with him, doesn't it mean that he has other plans using Yang Mi as a springboard?

After all, we all held umbrellas together and chatted together on the set.

How can you do this...

"you!……"

When Liu Xiaoli heard this, she was about to get angry, but Chen Jinfei quickly smoothed things over:

"OK OK……"

After suppressing Liu Xiaoli's anger first, Chen Jinfei turned to Liu Yifei and said:

"Sissi, why don't you apologize to your mother quickly?"

"..."

Liu Yifei also knew that what she just said was a bit harsh... After hearing what he said, she felt aggrieved.

"Godfather, we can't do this...then what will happen to me? When I meet Yang Mi in the future, how will I look up at her?"

"She looked up at you."

Chen Jinfei first corrected the errors in his daughter's statement.

"She is far behind you. Why are you looking up at her?"

"not me……"

"I know~~"

Interrupting Liu Yifei again, Chen Jinfei shook his head with a smile:

"Now, Sissy, even if you don't go to visit Yang Mi, I came this time to take you to meet Director Zhang. Before coming, I specially communicated with Zhang Weiping, and we have known each other for a long time. Well, Director Zhang is here to film, and I definitely want to take you to meet him. So... it has nothing to do with this little girl named Yang Mi, you know? You can tell her later that you won’t go to visit the class. Isn’t that good? Then in the past two days, I asked Zhang Weiping to make an appointment to meet you alone. Wouldn’t that be okay? It has nothing to do with this little girl... Okay, apologize to your mother quickly... Mom is caring about you, how can you talk to her like this, you kid..."

"..."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei subconsciously looked at her mother, who still had dissatisfaction and anger in her eyes.

"……mom."

There was a touch of helplessness and grievance in her voice:

"sorry."

…

"Holy shit... just hold on..."

Daming Palace.

Looking at the golden-armored soldiers huddled together below, Xu Xin clenched his fists subconsciously.

Not to mention him, even Zhang Yimou and the others became slightly nervous.

It's not for anything else, just because... in this third performance today, Jay Chou didn't make any mistakes. No matter his positioning, transfer, or expression... he all met the standard of standards!

Now there is only the last scene where he stands alone against a group of soldiers.

And this scene is being filmed.

Jay Chou held a knife in one hand and a bundle of spears in the other, fighting among the crowd.

All the soldiers were in an offensive and defensive manner, constantly moving forward and retreating.

The group battle movements specially designed and directed by Cheng Xiaodong, Jay Chou gritted his teeth, waved the iron knife in his hand, and worked hard again and again to make every move meet the standard.

Finally, the set of actions ends.

Even Xu Xin could tell that he had run out of energy.

And under the facial capture of the camera, every ferocious expression of his and every expression of exerting all his strength were completely captured.

Finally, he threw out a somewhat deformed sword and stood among the corpses on the ground, facing the camera and shaking...

Three cameras were running simultaneously, and the last one was pointed directly at his expression.

"Shake...shake quickly..."

Xu Xin stared at the monitor and muttered:

"Release the last emotion..."

As if hearing his words, Jay Chou's body in the close-up shot began to tremble. He used the angry technique he learned from Xu Xin to make his temples swell, and his eyes fixed on a point while trembling...

Without blinking.

Soon, tears appeared in the eyes because of the dryness of the eyes.

And because of the uncomfortable pain, the shaking on his body became more natural...

The weather is very hot today, with some rain.

The clothes on Jay Chou are stuffy, and combined with the blood and dirty expression on his face, as well as the fine beads of sweat on his forehead and temples...

The entire close-up scene...Xu Xin saw Jay Chou's best scene so far!

"OK!"

Finally, after taking the photo of the side he wanted, Zhang Yimou picked up the walkie-talkie:

"pass!"

As soon as he finished speaking, in the middle of the venue, at the very center of the "dead bodies" on the ground, Jay Chou swayed... and sat down on the ground.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

The sound of violent breathing rang out from the monitoring earphones.

This scene...

It’s almost finished.

And it was as if even God gave him face...

The play is finished.

Drops of rain fell from the sky.

"..."

Xu Xin, who had just taken a deep breath, subconsciously locked his eyes on Gong Li, who had been standing under the chrysanthemum stage and had been waiting for a long time...

have to……

Ruined.

…

The crew waited on the set for a while, praying that the rain would stop for a while so that they could film all the scenes between Fa Ge and Gong Li.

After all, the makeup on these two people is difficult to apply.

Not to mention the hard work of the makeup artist, the actors also have a hard time just sitting there.

But who knows... After waiting for half an hour and seeing no intention of stopping, Zhang Yimou still waved his hand despite his helplessness:

"Stop it. Tell them that if the weather is good tomorrow, it will end later. Try to finish the rest... Everyone be prepared to stay up late."

Liu Guonan nodded to express his understanding.

Then, everyone started packing their things.

At this time, Xu Xin heard the phone buzzing in his pocket.

When I took it out and took a look... my eyes immediately widened in surprise.

This message was not sent by anyone else, but by Liu Yifei.

"...?"

He instinctively looked at his girlfriend next to him.

"What's the matter?"

Yang Mi, who had been secretly yawning, asked casually.

Then she saw the text message on her boyfriend's mobile phone, which said "Xu Xin, are you there? I have something to tell you. I wonder if it's convenient for you" and the name of the sender "Liu Yifei". She was a little confused. .

"...?"

The two of them just looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

Xu Xin's first words came out first:

"This is our first message."

"..."

Yang Mi blinked...

First he nodded:

"Uh-huh."

Then……

"What does she want to do?"

"How do I know...let me ask?"

"Well, just ask."

So, Xu Xin replied:

"Here, what's wrong?"

After replying, he looked at his girlfriend again:

"We won't get angry after the fact, okay?"

"How fresh~"

The girl rolled her eyes:

"Let's see what she wants to do first."

"Buzz."

The other party replied:

"The text message said it's not convenient. Can we talk on the phone? Is it convenient for you?"

"..."

"..."

The young couple looked at each other again with big eyes and small eyes...

"What to do..."

"...You fight and see what happens."

"Sure?"

"Sure."

"……good."

Xu Xin responded and took his girlfriend to the corner of the city wall first.

Anyway, the crew still has to clean up for a while, and Zhang Yimou is also there to check the film shot today...

The two of them came to a pergola that had been evacuated. With the speakerphone turned on, Xu Xin called back directly.

"Dududu~ Hello, Xu Xin, hello."

Liu Yifei's voice rang on the phone.

"Well, hello Yifei. What's the matter?"

Hearing this title, Yang Mi rolled her eyes.

But he didn't say anything. He just saw his boyfriend touching the cigarette, so he took the cigarette case directly, took one out and handed it to his mouth.

From handing the cigarette to lighting it, Xu Xin took a puff.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Xu Xin couldn't help but ask:

"Hello?"

"……Where are you?"

"Crew, it's raining right now, we were just about to go back...what's wrong?"

"Then...is Mimi with you?"

As Liu Yifei's question rang out from the speaker, Yang Mi frowned.

His eyes were full of doubts.

she……

What are you going to do?
