I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 185: 183. A small goal

   Media questioning session.

   "I want to ask Director Xu Xin, how does it feel to work with Jay Chou?"

"I feel very good. Jay is a very talented actor, and he has made a lot of efforts for this drama. He is a very talented person, otherwise this script would not be written so well. I think he will Will definitely be a great actor. It's an honor to work with him."

   "..."

   "..."

  Is there something wrong with Xu Xin's answer?

   There is nothing wrong with it.

   Definitely satisfy all Jay Chou fans.

but…

  You can see how hard it is for Yang Mi to hold back her laughter, and how Jay Chou turned his head and coughed several times after Xu Xin said this...

  In Yang Mi's heart, what her brother said really lacked virtue.

  Sarcasm is not as sarcastic as you are.

  In an interview, can you be more serious?

   And so is Jay Chou.

   It’s just that what he said in his heart is more intuitive:

   "Rely on the cup, bad boy, hit the street, the first place in yin and yang, and the bamboo shoots on the mountain are all taken away by you. You treat me as an idiot and can't tell your hypocrisy!"

  …

   "Director Xu Xin, can you talk about Yang Mi? She is your classmate, right? How did she become attached to this movie? How do you evaluate her performance?"

  Perhaps because this is Xu Xin's "first" appearance, after the media questioning session started, everyone's attention was always on him.

   I have asked several questions in a row.

  After hearing this, just as Xu Xin was about to speak, he heard Yang Mi's cough again:

   "Ahem...be careful."

   The words were not complete, but Xu Xin already understood what his girlfriend meant.

  So nodded:

   "We are indeed classmates, but we didn't know each other very well before we collaborated on this movie."

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

  The seven sons of Beiying Xuanzhen who were present tonight twitched their mouths.

   Not yet familiar?

  Brother, don’t you just open your eyes and talk nonsense.

  The reporter was also speechless:

   "But you guys made the short film "Not Drunk" together."

"Well…"

  Xu Xin was dumbfounded.

   "Yes, I'm talking about before "Not Drunk"."

  He quickly added a sentence:

   "But now we have a good relationship."

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

  A strange feeling appeared in everyone's heart.

   Jay Chou turned his head directly over there. It looked like he was coughing, but he was actually relaxing his muscles quickly.

   No, he's going to laugh like crazy.

  Hahahahaha, rotten boy, dig yourself a hole and bury yourself, right?

   And Xu Xin also knew that he had answered this question wrong, so he simply said:

   "But for her interpretation in the movie, I still think it's very good. I hope everyone will like it... um."

   Speaking of this, he calmed down, thought for a while, and said:

   "But I don't think it's important that I like it, the important thing is to be recognized by everyone. Okay, thank you."

  Finding out the same as nonsense is obviously not satisfactory to the reporter.

  However, the experienced host has already taken over the interview topic:

   "Okay, thank you, Director Xu. Then... Do you have any questions about our leading and supporting roles?"

  From the beginning to now, the topic has been focused on Xu Xin, which is definitely not appropriate.

  She reminded the big guy with this sentence:

   "And Jay Chou."

  …

   "One last question... I want to ask you all."

  When everyone was asked a few questions, it was almost time to see, the host took out the last question of the day:

   "Do you have any expectations for the box office of "The Unspeakable Secret", Jay?"

   "...the more the better, the main thing is to get everyone's approval."

   After Jay Chou finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Gui Lunmei next to him.

  Gui Lunmei thought for a while:

"big sale!"

   Be concise and to the point.

  Next is Yang Mi.

  The girl who was very low-key tonight hardly thought much, and said with a microphone:

   "Big sale, the more the merrier."

   is equivalent to adding the answers of the previous two people together.

   Pretty sneaky.

   But the limelight itself on this occasion is not on her side.

  Although she doesn't know what others think of her, but with her boyfriend here, she doesn't want to be so sharp.

   Just like she reminded Xu Xin cryptically several times.

  Brother, don’t be afraid, I’m right behind you.

   Keeping the dignity of a man is the reserve of a woman.

  So, she was naturally "invisible".

  After handing the microphone to her boyfriend...

  The girlfriend who said "don't be afraid, dad is here" was immediately speechless.

  Because the boyfriend started "uh..." again.

"Well…"

   After two or three seconds of uh, he said:

   "A...a small goal?"

   "...?"

   "???"

   "...???"

  No one knew what he meant.

  Even Xu Xin was confused about where he said those words.

   But for some reason just now, after seeing Wang Sicong sitting in the crowd, this sentence popped into his mind.

  The host asked puzzledly:

   "What is the small goal?"

   "One hundred million...one hundred million? Okay... okay?"

  Everyone thinks who are you asking...

   is to ask your box office outlook, who asked you to ask us.

but…

   One hundred million.

  You really dare to think.

  Currently, this year’s domestically produced film has the highest box office, Nicholas Tse’s "The True Colors of a Man", which was 12 million in its first week, and the current box office is just over 25 million... Before it goes offline, it is only about 35 million at most.

   You came up with 100 million?

Fine.

   Zhang Yimou is happy.

  Zhang Wu was also happy.

   whispered to Zhang Yimou:

   "After all, it's Xiao Xu... who can always come up with some moths. Isn't the language amazing and endless."

  Zhang Yimou smiled and nodded:

   "Well, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. And... a small goal... Ha, this kid."

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

  Although the movement of the two talking was small, it was not hidden.

  Some people nearby could hear the intimacy in Zhang Yimou's words.

   Tang Wan also recognized it.

   It was precisely because she heard it... that she felt a little bit in her heart...

  Is the relationship between Xu Xin and Director Zhang so good? !

  My God.

  …

  The premiere is over.

  The invited guests began to leave the venue amidst the congratulations of "Blessing the Great Sales of "The Unspeakable Secret".

   And the people who are the crew have to say goodbye.

   Different people send different people.

  For example, Jay Chou, Gui Lunmei, etc., the gifts are related people from Wanwan.

  Xu Xin, he is the director, and people from the Olympic team are also there, but we all know each other well, and there is no such thing as "I'm leaving" or "I'll see you off". Instead, after leaving a sentence of blessings, he left.

   Then came the filmmakers who greeted him.

   Congratulations or praise.

  Yang Mi is also nearby.

  After seeing off one polite person after another, finally, the students came over:

   "Mimi, let me tell you, it's so beautiful! Really!"

  Jiao Junyan held Yang Mi's hand with a bright face:

   "Really, don't lie, whoever lies is not human, it's really beautiful!"

   "Hey hey hey~"

  Hearing this, Yang Mi was instantly happy.

  Looking at the similar scene, he said:

   "Shall we go there to take pictures?"

  Jiao Junyan agreed, but walked up to Xu Xin, and smiled in a..."familiar" tone:

   "Director Xu, the filming is awesome!"

   "Haha~"

  Xu Xin looked a little embarrassed on his face, and waved his hand:

   "Don't, don't, you're all on your own, don't boast like that. Just talk about your shortcomings~"

  Although he doesn't even know the girl's name.

  Familiar...but forgot the name.

  Jiao Junyan shook her head directly:

   "No exaggeration, it's true, it's too kind to me, I will definitely come and see it again tomorrow."

   "Haha, I love hearing that..."

  At this time, Yang Mi answered:

   "Let's go, let's take a photo together, the first premiere!"

  Drawing Jiao Junyan to the red carpet, several other people also greeted Xu Xin one after another. Tang Wan and Bao Wen were fine, while Zhang Xuan and Zhang Xiaofei were a little timid.

   Clearly, this identity gap is already starting to show.

   Let's say hello... I want to get acquainted, but I don't know well. Fortunately, Xu Xin's smile gave them a sense of familiarity, and that anxiety gradually disappeared.

   And finally...

"Congratulations."

   "Well, thanks."

  Looking at Yuan Shanshan who walked in front of her, Xu Xin responded with a smile.

  Indifferent and familiar.

  Everything goes with the wind.

not far away.

   "Hey, can we ask Jay Chou for an autograph?"

  As the youngest in the dormitory, Zhang Xuan looked at Jay Chou, who was close at hand, with longing on his face.

   "Let's wait a while, when everyone is almost gone..."

  Yang Mi glanced in her boyfriend's direction, turned around and pulled a few people to the red carpet with movie names and autographs, and Sun Ting had already come to the opposite side holding the camera.

   "Wen Jing, let your husband squat in front of us?"

   "Well, husband, come here..."

"okay."

   Bao Beier is as good as others.

   Then, together with Yuan Shanshan who rushed over, several people started to take pictures.

   First a group photo, and then a group photo of several people.

   Looks pretty happy.

   And when the filming is almost finished, the people are almost gone.

  It was around 11 o'clock, and Jay Chou couldn't stand the fans who were outside the security fence, holding up notebooks and waving movie tickets, so he walked over and started signing amid screams.

  At this time...

   "Ah, it's over, our clothes are still stored in the cabinets of the mall!"

  Zhang Xiaofei suddenly remembered this...

  Others were also taken aback...

   Yes, the clothes are still here!

  In this mall, except for the crowd on the fourth floor who are still waiting for "The Unspeakable Secret", everyone else has left.

   I can’t get in on the first floor either.

   What about this?

"Well…"

  Hearing this, Yang Mi thought for a while and said:

   "I'll ask, wait a minute."

  She walked quickly to Xu Xin's side:

   "Xu Xin~"

   "...?"

  Hearing this address so suddenly, Xu Xin couldn't react.

  You melon girl is going to rebel...oh yes.

  Xu Xin, who suddenly realized what the occasion was, nodded:

   "What's wrong? Yang Mi."

   Then both of them got goosebumps.

  Mom, how awkward.

   "Xiaofei's clothes are still on the first floor, what should I do?"

"Well…"

  Xu Xin took a look at the premiere hall where most of the people had already left, and the cleaning staff had also entered. Subconsciously, his eyes fell on Wang Sicong who had just walked out of the hall.

  He nodded:

   "I'll handle it."

   As he spoke, he walked directly towards Wang Sicong.

  Wang Sicong saw Xu Xin approaching, and subconsciously took out the cigarette case...

  Purely natural action.

  Xu Xin was taken aback for a moment, but suddenly laughed:

   "Do you smoke?"

   "Well, just now I heard you say you want to smoke... What's the matter?"

   "Well, it's like this, my daughter... the clothes of those classmates are still in the lockers on the first floor of our shopping mall..."

   "Oh~"

  Wang Sicong understood, nodded, and shouted inside:

   "Come here, two people."

   Soon, the service staff of the theater came over and shouted:

   "President Wang."

  Wang Sicong pointed:

   "The guest's clothes are still in the locker, you go and help get them, and if you meet the security guard downstairs, tell me that I gave them up."

"OK, all right."

  The two waiters walked directly to Zhang Xiaofei and the others.

  Xu Xin glanced at Jay Chou, saw that Alang, Abao, and Gui Lunmei were all surrounded by fans, touched his pockets, and said to Wang Sicong:

   "Where can I smoke?"

   "Go to the safe passage."

   "Do you have fire?"

"have."

"Walk."

  From night to now, old smokers who have never smoked a cigarette get addicted to it, and they don’t care about it.

   With a "creak", the safety door opened.

  After the two walked in, the door closed again.

   Taking the lighter, he couldn't wait to light a cigarette. Xu Xin, who took a deep breath, showed a satisfied expression.

   Then I heard a sentence:

   "The movie is not bad, very good-looking."

   "Ha~ Thank you."

  Xu Xin nodded.

   Then I heard him ask:

   "The next step is to watch the box office, right?"

"Um."

   "This movie... the investment shouldn't be big, right?"

   "It's not big, it's only one thousand sixty-seven."

   Didn't hide it either, Xu Xin said while sitting directly on the steps of the safe passage.

  He is a little tired after tossing around today.

   After sitting on the steps, he unbuttoned his suit.

   This is what Yang Mi taught him.

   Say what... suit etiquette.

   It's very troublesome, a bit like taking off your pants and farting, but as a public figure, you have to be like this.

  At this time, he heard Wang Sicong say again:

   "You still got the Olympics?"

   "Yes, but to be precise, it's not making, but participating. Participate in some design work."

  After Xu Xin finished speaking, he nodded:

"sharp."

   Let’s talk about this thing, it’s not enough to just chat with one person.

   What is important is that there are coming and going words.

  So Xu Xin glanced at him and asked:

   "You are responsible for..." in this mall

   "No, I'm not in this shopping mall. I'm also here to attend the screening today...I really like Jay Chou's song."

   "...?"

  Xu Xin was a little puzzled:

   "Then I see that everyone in Wanda calls you Mr. Wang?"

  Hearing this, Wang Sicong didn't say much, and said something vague:

   "Well, work here."

"oh oh."

  Xu Xin also saw that he was unwilling to speak.

  He is not a particularly curious person, so he nodded in response.

   Then the two continued to smoke.

   At this moment, just after saving the phone numbers of both parties, Xu Xin's phone rang:

"Hello?"

  Yang Mi's voice is full of doubts:

   "Hey, where are you? We are all ready to go."

   "I'm smoking... OK, I'll come right away."

   Originally, I planned to take two more puffs, but now it seems that I can't do it.

  Xu Xin stood up, patted the dirt on his butt, and said politely:

   "Shall we go together?"

   "Well, I just wanted to ask Jay Chou for an autograph."

   "Ha~"

  Xu Xin chuckled and opened the door.

   Then I saw Yang Mi and Jay Chou standing at the door of the elevator amidst the cheers of fans.

  Yang Mi had sharp eyes, and when she saw Xu Xin, she quickly waved and blocked the elevator.

   It was too late to introduce each other, Xu Xin and Wang Sicong had already walked in.

   Then I heard Yang Mi say to Sun Ting:

   "Tingting, come on, how's the result?"

"What?"

  Xu Xin was still puzzled, when Sun Ting took a look at the text live broadcast on the mobile phone and said:

   "GL won, BO3, 2-1 against CT team, and now the awards ceremony is being held."

"Ha ha!"

  Yang Mi was overjoyed when she heard the result:

   "Excellent! I'm 820! Sure enough, I saw him right!"

  Xu Xin was taken aback for a moment, but Wang Sicong's eyes suddenly became strange.

   Jay Chou also said:

   "820 won?"

   "...do you know 820?"

  The moment Xu Xin heard this, he was stunned again. Under Wang Sicong's very strange eyes, Jay Chou nodded:

   "Yes, I have fought with him~"

   "...Wait a minute, you are on my account? How did you get into the VS1 room at your level?"

  Wang Sicong's eyes became more and more strange.

  But Jay Chou nodded grandly.

   What happened to the horizontal dish?

  Aren't you my friend? It's not normal for me to be on your account:

   "Yes, I played a few rounds and met him twice, very good..."

   "Then my win rate dropped to 45%!?"

  Xu Xin was speechless.

  Yang Mi patted him on the shoulder:

   "I was idle and bored that day, so the two of us fought twice."

   "No, I managed to get my winning percentage to 60..."

   "I'm just helping you fight back, how fresh... Don't you just wait for the box office these days, and tomorrow I will help you bring back your winning percentage. Those big players went abroad to compete, and the rest of the first house is fish."

  The girl who has been on the VS competitive platform DOTA high-level 1 room all year round, and has become famous for her super-sensitivity in gank, has an indifferent look on her face.

   "The important thing is that GL won the championship! Look, I'm sure! With 820, the GL team can't lose! It's worth my 30,000 yuan travel sponsorship!"

  As a DOTA boss who hangs out in the same room all year round, Yang Mi's skills are indeed undeniable.

   and others also have platform friends.

  Some time ago, after 2007WCG suddenly launched the DOTA project, several passer-by teams in China signed up. As a result, the GL teams in the 820, LONGDD, and DC groups suddenly killed in the group stage and rushed out of the line.

  Going to Singapore for a competition...the result was no travel expenses.

   Everyone has to borrow money.

  When Yang Mi heard about this while playing games, she sponsored 30,000 yuan.

  Although she said she borrowed it, the girl didn't plan to return it.

  She likes to play games, and DOTA is also her favorite game. Now that she has qualified, let's try it.

  Anyway... 30,000 yuan is not much.

   After being washed away by her boyfriend's consumption concept, she sent the money.

   And after she finished speaking, before Xu Xin could speak, she suddenly heard Wang Sicong say:

   "You... also play DOTA?"

  Among his weird eyes, there is even a scorching light flickering...

   sounds like...

like…

  This beautiful actress...

  A master?

  Although Yang Mi didn’t know who this person was, since she came out with her boyfriend, she should at least “know her”, so she nodded:

   "Well, you fight too?"

"I…"

  Suddenly, Wang Sicong was at a loss for words.

   What should I say?

  Although I fight, but I'm a badass?

  So I can only nod my head:

   "Well, play too."

"Yeah?"

   After Yang Mi asked back, she threw out a trap question:

   "Where are you playing?"

  Actually, there are only two domestic platforms for playing DOTA.

  One VS, one Haofang.

  Although Haofang is earlier than VS, in fact...wherever there are people, there are Jianghu.

  DOTA also has it.

   And in the arena of DOTA, there is also a chain of contempt.

   Those who play Haofang DOTA are all rookies.

   This is one of the most basic accepted facts.

  Because it is different from Haofang’s situation where you can enter any room at will when you have a membership. VS has a hierarchical system. There are members without grades, and some rooms still cannot be entered.

   And the level of VS can only be added after the game is won.

  So, the higher the VS platform level, the more powerful it is.

  Of course, this is also applicable outside the first room. The account can reach level 16, and entering the advanced first room only means the "threshold" for you to start fighting with masters.

   Sure enough, Wang Sicong said:

   "VS...Level 17."

"ah?"

  Yang Mi's eyes lit up.

   Being able to reach level 17 means that you must be a master.

  And among the people around me, there is not one for the time being.

  Although Xu Xin's account meets the requirements, it was actually "boosted" by her.

  Although my brother's level is not bad, he can only be said to be the last group of people in the technical level of high-end rooms.

   Not to mention Jay Chou.

  If he hadn't shown him the power of the VS room, he would still be just a rookie in the Wanwan LAN.

   Now suddenly there is a level 17 person...

sure.

   An emotion called sympathy surged out.

   "What's your ID? My ID is FOX underscore YM, have you seen it?"

   "..."

  Wang Sicong was a little embarrassed.

   What can he say?

   Can you say that your account was picked up by a booster?

  The name in the superior room is stinky, so he has to change his name every once in a while?

   Then, in order to prevent no one playing with me because of my low winning rate, I have to let people raise my winning rate every once in a while?

   And the name "FOX_YM" that the other party said...he has seen it before.

  In my impression... quite powerful.

  Always leave the middle for no reason, and then suddenly kill me next to me like a ghost...

  Such a powerful mid laner, but this person in front of me?

   Still a girl?

real or fake?

   After thinking about it, he nodded:

   "I have seen it, I have fought with you a few times, it is very powerful."

   "Hahaha~"

  Yang Mi couldn't help laughing.

   Others may not be happy when they praise her for her good acting skills.

   "What about you, what's your ID?"

  At this time, the elevator door also opened, and everyone walked out together.

  After hearing Yang Mi's words, he said with some guilt:

   "I changed my name several times, now it's KILLER_WANG."

"Well…"

  Yang Mi thought for a while, then shook her head while walking:

   "I really haven't seen it. I haven't been on it for more than a month, because of the movie."

   Walking along the aisle of the parking lot, Wang Sicong saw his car.

   After thinking for a while, he suddenly said:

   "Then... let's leave a contact information, how about it? Director Xu?"

  Wang Sicong seemed to see something, Xu Xin asked first.

   "I also play DOTA, let's play black together."

   "Hmm... okay."

  Xu Xin has a very good impression of him, because the preparation time for those two songs, plus the names of the people around him...

   Based on the principle of having multiple friends and multiple paths, he nodded.

   Then came a sentence:

   "However, I'm relatively good, and the real winning rate is 40% all the year round..."

enough.

  Big brother.

   Really enough...

  If it wasn't for the power leveling, I wouldn't even be able to enter a room...

  Wang Sicong became more and more guilty. After exchanging contact information with Xu Xin, he looked at Yang Mi:

   "Master... let's exchange it too, when you want to get on the number... take me. I play C, I eat my teammates too much."

   "... How strong is this version of CARRY? After jumping the knife and changing it to a 3-second CD for being hit, there is no protruding face. If you don't develop well..."

  Yang Mi looked puzzled.

  Aren’t all C’s fathers these days?

  What you said...why does it sound a bit wrong.

   But she didn't think much of it.

   directly said his mobile phone number.

  She understood that the other party must have seen the relationship between the two when she asked her boyfriend first.

   But it didn't poke...

   Just because of this, she has a much better impression of Wang Sicong.

  So, after the two parties happily left the phone number, the person also walked out of the passage.

  Wang Sicong, who had already fantasized about being taken by a master to drive a trumpet to fry fish in a fish pond, pointed to the Rolls-Royce and said:

   "Shall I see you off?"

   "No, our car is there too."

  Xu Xin smiled and waved his hands, and glanced at the direction of the front of the car.

  The same gold standard as my father.

  This man...

   Interesting.
