I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 332: 330. Master Xing Knows Me

  Chapter 332 330. Master Xing Knows Me

  September 26th.

Saturday.

   I had lunch at noon.

  Yang Mi looked at the four men in front of her, and kept nodding:

   "Not to mention, you guys look really handsome in formal clothes... Tingting, bring the camera here, I'll take some photos for them."

   "Good sister."

  Sun Ting glanced at the four "handsome guys" in suits and leather shoes, and hurried to the study.

   "Hey, big honey, who do you think is the most handsome?...Let me arrange the order."

  Wang Sicong, who was also dressed in British haute couture, asked while sorting the buttons of his shirt.

   "Then my brother must be the most handsome, do you still need to ask?"

   "...Then open the old Xu first, the three of us, here is a gold, silver and copper."

  Hearing this, Jay Chou sneered:

   "Hey... come on, why do you want to humiliate yourself?"

   "You mean I'm not as good-looking as you?"

  Wang Sicong sneered:

   "Did Jay Chou have some hallucinations recently? Don't you really think you're a handsome guy?"

"you…"

   "You're talking to me with your eyes open. Is it polite to close your eyes when talking to someone?"

   "..."

   Jay Chou started to unbutton his suit without saying a word.

   I'm going to tear it up with the old man.

  Personal attack, right?

   And Lang Lang next to him quickly waved his hands:

"Hey, you two, look at me, look at me. Why did you start fighting when we were talking? You two, each has its own merits. In this way, it's all about selling my face... I will be the first, okay? ? You two don't compete, and you are tied for second place. Is that okay?"

   "Your Yanjing accent is so bad~"

   "Don't show off your accent, okay?"

  Lang Lang sneered.

  At this moment, Sun Ting came out from the study, and handed the camera to Yang Mi.

"Come on, come on, you all stand up...put on a pose. Xu, can you concentrate! Put down that notepad for me quickly! Also, how many times have I said that you should sit less when you put on a suit and pants. The line is gone!"

"okay."

   Xu Xin who finally came to his senses stood up quickly.

  He has been thinking about the idea of ​​"A Bite of Tongue" for the past few days, and it is easy to get distracted.

   After glancing at the camera, he stood beside Lang Lang.

   Soon, the four buddies posed shoulder to shoulder and put on a cold pose...

   With a "click", the four men in suits and leather shoes stayed in the camera forever.

   After filming, Yang Mi checked and nodded slightly:

   "Well, sure enough, my man is the most handsome!"

   "Let's take a picture too? ... I haven't worn a suit for a long time."

   "Hee hee, no, it's ugly to take pictures with a big belly~"

  Yang Mi directly rejected her brother's proposal, but began to act as a photographer as a cameo.

   took various photos of these four people before they were ready to go.

   All as a souvenir.

  She thinks photos in this natural state are much more interesting than posing.

  Three of the four handsome men in suits today are related to the Huabiao Award.

  Xu Xin and Jay Chou went because of "Secret", while Lang Lang shot a documentary of his own when he participated in the 2008 Olympic Games, mainly talking about how he prepared the piano piece behind the scenes.

  "Lang Lang's Song: Dedicated to 2008"

  But the actual truth is that, according to Lang Lang himself, the film was purely used by CAA to increase its commercial value.

   "Starry Sky", an Olympic piece, was not difficult for him at all. He picked up the score and practiced it three times. After waiting three times, he had already started to adjust the scale matching, and in one afternoon, the whole song had become "Lang Lang Feng".

  This is the strength of the top three contemporary pianists.

   And the documentary he made this time was also selected for the Huabiao Award.

  So, all three have to go.

   And these three people have gone, so there is no shortage of Wang Sicong.

  But the old man was quite shy at first, and asked:

   "If I want to go, don't I have to have an identity too?...Can the assistant director do it?"

  He said this to Xu Xin and Jay Chou.

  It means can you give an assistant director the title to increase your knowledge.

   As a result, before the two of them spoke, Lang Lang, who had always been in love with him, said:

   "Let's just use the bodyguards to stop the male fans, and you can let the female fans in for the three of us to digest internally."

  The young master was cursing.

  …

   3 p.m.

  It's about time.

  The red carpet of the Huabiao Awards starts at 4:30 pm and lasts for about an hour. An hour later, there will be an awards ceremony of about two hours.

  The end is just over 7:30, and the organizer will arrange a dinner at the State Guesthouse.

  The venue this time is at the Beizhan Theater, which is not too far from here.

   "We are leaving, you should pay attention at home."

  Hearing Xu Xin's words, Yang Mi waved her hand.

  Two commercial vehicles were also waiting at the door. Dani, Zhang Jiao, and Lang Lang's male assistant, Liu Wei, drove the two commercial vehicles to the North Exhibition.

  Gui Lunmei didn't come today, neither did Yang Mi.

  Yang Mi is pregnant and cannot come. And Gui Lunmei is going to film "The Thirty-sixth Story", and she can't make it.

  Actually, it doesn’t matter whether it’s Xu Xin, Jay Chou, or other people in the crew.

   "The Unspeakable Secret" is already in the past tense.

  Although it has only been two years, too many things have happened in these two years.

   Jay Chou's company is now in full swing.

  With the strong ratings of "The Voice", Jewell has been eyeing a lot of talented artists. And one after another, the business began to transfer to the mainland of the motherland.

  After Lang Lang signed with CAA, as the world's No. 1 brokerage company began to make efforts, his popularity in Western countries can be said to be skyrocketing.

   Perhaps his fame in China is not particularly loud outside the music circle, but in the eyes of Westerners, he is already the top contemporary piano artist. No matter which country you visit, you will receive full courtesy.

  Wang Sicong will not mention it.

   Strictly speaking, he is not considered an insider. However, Wanda’s business has been getting better and bigger over the years. It is said that the market value may exceed one trillion yuan in a few years...

   All three are excellent.

  Sometimes Xu Xin is under a lot of pressure to be friends with them.

   But... it seems that he is not bad.

In two years, he has completely taken off the title of young director by relying on two films. After "The Wind", after proving that he has the ability to control actors, big scenes, and win the box office, although he only has two This is not a work, but it already has energy that cannot be ignored in the circle.

  Time flies really fast.

  My friends are all working hard, moving forward, and working hard to surpass their peers to an unattainable height. He can't be too far behind, right?

  Thinking of this, he sitting in the car couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

   "Time flies so fast..."

"right."

   Jay Chou nodded:

   "I always feel that everyone is getting old in a blink of an eye~"

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

  The three of them glanced at him in unison.

   "Speaking of which, are you thirty this year?"

   These are Xu Xin's words.

   "Thirty-year-olds don't even have a party. After New Year's Day, they will be 31. It should be a grand highlight, right?"

   These are the words of Wang Sicong.

   Under Jay Chou's increasingly ugly expression, Lang Lang nodded:

"Remember that girls are called more and are of higher quality. You can look for them according to Lin Zhiling's standard. You are also 31. Don't call those Taiwanese girls who look like non-mainstream. They look like a little girl in a film, which is smoky. Let's be mature and steady. Call some intellectual and elegant Yujie, and everyone will have red wine, cigars, and then talk with you, and occasionally look at you with admiring eyes, and lean into your arms while talking..."

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

  Let’s not talk about Jay Chou, Xu Xin and Wang Sicong were dumbfounded.

   "OK...expert!"

  The young master was the first to respond.

   While nodding, he looked at Jay Chou:

"That's a good proposal. Let's be quiet on your birthday. We need some big sisters who are over 1.7 meters tall and walk with wind to take us with us. Let's do a cha-cha dance~ waltz is also fine, you put your arms around my waist, I'm holding your shoulders...Old Xu, how are you?"

"Well…"

  Xu Xin smacked his mouth with unknown meaning, and coughed lightly:

   "Cough. What's inside, I...may have to accompany my wife at that time. But I will definitely not miss my good friend's birthday party...Don't worry, my buddy will definitely spend it with you."

   "..."

   It took two rounds from the three of them before Jay Chou, who had just gotten the chance to speak, opened his mouth...

  Maybe it feels ridiculous.

  Maybe... a little speechless again.

  Didn't we just lament that the beauty is easy to be the youngest?

  This...why is this the topic of big sister again?

but…

   "Okay... ok, then... call a more mature girl to come over? A dress party?"

  Seeing that he agreed, Wang Sicong followed up again:

   "It's best to wear a mask. Women should wear lace, feathers, half-opaque masks like stockings, and half-covered ones."

   "..."

   "..."

  Xu Xin and Lang Lang's eyes were straightened.

   looked straight at the young master.

  I grass...

  Hello!

   And Jay Chou was also taken aback... nodded:

"Sure…"

  Although he also felt absurd and speechless. I even wonder if this group of people are going to celebrate their birthday... or are they just looking for the big sister...

  Worst of all, why do you have to wear a mask?

   Do you expect mystery so much?

  But my friends have already said it, so what else?

   Dote on me.

   Immediately afterwards, Jay Chou followed up:

   "Should I invite Lin Zhiling directly?"

   As soon as the voice fell, Wang Sicong was the first to speak decisively:

   "I want to do a sticker dance with her! I'm first!"

"Depend on!"

  Lang Lang subconsciously swears, and resigns himself to his fate and says helplessly:

   "Then I'll be second. Old Xu?"

"I take a look."

   "..."

  …

  3:30, outside the Beizhan Theater.

  The four people drove the car to the specially opened parking lot next to it, and got out of the car directly.

  As soon as I got out of the car, reporters on both sides quickly picked up their cameras.

  The fans of Jay Chou, who had gathered outside the railing early, started screaming after seeing him get off the car:

   "Ah! Jay Chou!! Jay Chou!!!"

  Jay Chou, who was wearing big sunglasses, heard the movement, smiled and waved, and was greeted with screams again.

no way.

  Among the four people... the latter three combined, can't compare with him.

   This is an undeniable fact.

  Wherever he goes, he has fans, which is really incomparable.

   Fortunately, the three of them have gotten used to it.

  After getting off the car, they unanimously started to fasten the first button of the suit.

   There is no need to talk about this kind of suit etiquette, everyone understands it.

   "Let's go."

  Xu Xin said.

   Take the lead and walk to the temporary waiting area set up with tents in the square in front of Beiyingmen.

   After a while, they were in the waiting area and entered the North Exhibition when the red carpet started.

  Walking to the gate of the big tent in the waiting area, Dani and the others who ran to the gate ahead of time and completed the admission procedures had already brought the admission number.

   "Secret" is 19, "Lang Lang" is 20.

   This is communicated in advance.

  Their entry numbers belong to the kind that is quite high.

  Who made more people come today?

  "Assembly", "Mei Lanfang", "Ip Man", "Red Cliff", "If You Are the One" and so on.

  All the stars and big names gather here.

  Originally, "Secret" was the third domestic box office in 2007, second only to "Assembly" and "Certificate of Voting", and they should be a little later.

   But when they asked about the number 20 of "Lang Lang", they simply adjusted it forward.

  Those people are willing to fight for the illusory status of these awards ceremonies, let them fight.

  It’s enough for our brothers to come over and join in the fun.

  Take the number plate and walk into the tent.

  Not many people come here at the moment.

   Some people have been seen on TV, but they are all seniors who have been famous for a long time. Naturally, it is impossible to come and say hello to them.

   After looking around, Wang Sicong asked in a low voice:

   "Are you going to say hello?"

   "No need."

   On this occasion, Professor Zhang Dao's theory of "greeting is useless" was fulfilled, Xu Xin shook his head slightly.

  Looking at the temporary guest rest seats placed on the scene, he said:

   "Let's find a place to sit, and then wait for us to be called over there."

  So, several people found a back corner away from the door and sat down next to each other.

   "By the way, I haven't asked yet, Lao Xu, which awards were shortlisted for "Secret" this time?"

  Hearing what Wang Sicong said, Xu Xin replied;

   "Excellent co-production, excellent feature film, excellent new director, and his excellent music award."

  The last one is Jay Chou.

   "Which one are you sure to take?"

"I do not know."

  Xu Xin wasn't lying.

  When Yang Mi received the notification of being shortlisted for the Huabiao Award this year, he took a look at the list after Yang Mi brought it. He found out that he hadn't seen many of the films...not even seen in theaters.

   Obviously, it was either not screened in theaters, or it was a movie that was shortlisted for review but received a mediocre response in theaters.

  For example, a movie with him in the outstanding new director award is called "The King of Chess and His Son".

   Apart from knowing that the director’s name is Zhou Wei and that the film is a modern film, he doesn’t even know what the other’s story is.

  Besides, he also knows the awarding habits of Huabiao Awards.

  He has to win one of these awards.

   Let's share the pork together.

   Otherwise, "Secret" won the Cannes Golden Camera Award, and the box office is not shameful. It is really rare to not even win a domestic award.

   While chatting about the awards this time, Xu Xin heard the sound of high-heeled shoes stepping on her back.

   Then a voice sounded from behind:

   "Hello Director Xu~"

  The four of them turned their heads neatly, Xu Xin was taken aback.

  Black tight dress, black high heels.

   Fair skin, bright red lips, and coiled hair...

   looks quite upright.

   This girl... looks familiar.

   "Director Xu, how is Mimi's body?"

"Well…"

  Xu Xin became dull for a while, then stood up while laughing and said:

   "Very good, long time no see."

"Yeah, I haven't seen you since I attended the premiere of "The Wind" last time. I wanted to find Mimi to play with after the exam, but I sent her a message. I just want to wait for the child to be born before going to her."

  As soon as she opened her mouth, Xu Xin knew it.

  Although I don't remember her name, she should be Yang Mi and her 05 classmate.

   After she finished speaking, she bowed to Jay Chou again:

   "Hello, Jay Chou, my name is Zhang Xuan, it's an honor to meet you."

   "...Well, hello~"

  Watching the other party bow while holding the hand offered by his wrist, Jay Chou got up and shook it politely.

   When shaking hands with Jay Chou, she bowed again.

   After letting go of his hand, he looked at Lang Lang again:

   "Hello, Mr. Lang Lang, it's an honor to meet you."

   "Hey, hello."

   After shaking hands with Lang Lang, she finally looked at Wang Sicong:

   "Hi, Mr. Wang, I'm Zhang Xuan, nice to meet you."

   "Hi, we met last time at the premiere of "The Wind"."

"Yes Yes."

  Zhang Xuan nodded quickly, then looked at Xu Xin:

"Director Xu, my mobile phone was broken before, and my phone number is gone. Can I leave you a new number? Then... I can't find Mimi's phone number. If I can't meet you here this time, I will be with Mimi It’s really hard to make contact.”

  Hearing this, Xu Xin responded, and took out the newly purchased BlackBerry mobile phone from his pocket...

  This phone number is filled with work numbers.

   Usually Zhang Jiao holds it, but on this occasion he came back to receive his own.

  After exchanging calls, Xu Xin asked:

   "Which crew did you come with this time?"

   ""Six Sisters of Yimeng", I played Xiuer in it."

"Oh okay, I know."

   "Did Director Xu watch it?"

   "Not yet, I've been very busy recently..."

  The parents exchanged a few pleasantries, and Zhang Xuan took his mobile phone and said goodbye to the others politely, and left on high heels.

  As soon as she left, Jay Chou asked Wang Sicong curiously:

   "Did she go to the premiere of "The Wind"?"

"How would I know."

  The young master shrugged:

   "But didn't Da Mi call all the classmates that day? There must be her too... By the way, do you know her, Lao Xu?"

   "Can't remember."

  Xu Xin shook his head.

"It's okay if I can't remember... I think she introduced herself to the rest of us to remind Lao Xu of her name and give Lao Xu a step down. It was obvious that Lao Xu didn't remember her just now... Then I have to ask: Who are you? That's so embarrassing~"

  Hearing Lang Lang's words, Xu Xin responded:

"Um."

   "Tsk... You can feel the difference now."

  Wang Sicong has some emotion:

   "In this kind of occasion, isn't it just an actor currying favor with the director?...Hey, guess if the next one is a man or a woman?"

   "Okay, what are you betting on?"

   "Just bet on who will invite dinner tonight. Anyway, the dinner will not be full, so there should be no extra supper."

   "Okay, I bet it's still a woman."

   "I bet on men~"

   "I bet it's a woman too~...Do you think I should shout: Hey, hey, take a look, the contact information of the famous director Xu Xin is on sale at a low price..."

   "..."

  Xu Xin twitched the corners of his mouth, looking at the fearless demeanor of the young master...

  I'm so envious.

  Why are you so thick-skinned?

   While thinking about it, a familiar voice sounded:

   "Haha, Junior Brother~"

  Lang Lang and Wang Sicong twitched at the same time...

   Jay Chou laughed out loud.

   "Ha~"

  Xu Xin turned his head, looked at Huang Xiaoming who was walking towards him, and stood up to greet him with a smile.

   "Brother."

"Uh-huh…"

  While walking, Huang Xiaoming greeted the other three people.

   I saw them all in "The Voice", and I was "familiar" with them, so it's not so polite.

   "Brother, which movie is this shortlisted for?"

  Xu Xin asked curiously.

   Huang Xiaoming waved his hand:

"Presenters."

   "Oh~~~"

  Xu Xin nodded:

   "Understood. What have you been up to lately?"

   "I'm busy with the handover work with the company, and I'm going to make an album by the way. I just asked BABY to shoot the MV together, don't you know?"

   "Uh... I don't know. I basically don't ask about her affairs."

   After finishing speaking, Xu Xin asked:

   "Brother is going to open his own studio?"

   "Yes. But I bought Huayi's shares in the first half of the year, and now I can be regarded as a minority shareholder..."

  Xu Xin smiled slightly after hearing this.

   I didn't hear it at all.

   And Huang Xiaoming didn't talk deeply, but turned his head, indicating those faces that can often be seen on movies and TV:

   "Who does Junior Brother want to meet? Shall I take you with me?"

  As an actor who enjoys living in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Mainland, Huang Xiaoming is indeed quite rich in terms of contacts.

  In addition, he is now a minority shareholder of Huayi, and Xiangtai's godson in Xiangjiang.

   Not to mention... Looking at it this way, his ability is really not small.

  But Xu Xin waved his hand:

   "That's not necessary, we'll talk about it at the dinner party tonight."

   After hearing that he was not interested, Huang Xiaoming responded:

   "Alright. Then tell me who you want to know, basically I know everyone."

"Um!"

   "That's fine... Then I'll go to the organizer first, and you can call me if you need anything."

"okay."

  Watching Huang Xiaoming leave, Xu Xin returned to his seat.

   Then I heard Jay Chou say happily:

   "Hey, Xin, do you want to drink Lafite or Mouton tonight?"

  Xu Xin glanced at the unlucky guy next to him, shrugged:

  "Lafite rinses his mouth, Mouton quenches his thirst. There is no red wine at home, so I will prepare two boxes and bring them back to replenish the stock...By the way, have you two discussed it? Who will pay for tonight's consumption?"

   "..."

   Lang Lang was speechless.

  Wang Sicong cursed:

"damn it…"

  Xu Xin pretended not to hear.

  Continued to chat with each other, during which many actors whose names could not be named came over to say hello to Xu Xin.

  To be honest, it’s a bit like the job market.

   I almost took out a business card and came over.

   And Xu Xin was also polite to these people, without putting on airs.

  When people come, they just say a few words of pleasantries, and give them a phone number if they want. Anyway, they are all work numbers, so it doesn't matter.

   But there are so many people who can't stand it.

  It seemed that this group of people recognized him.

  Of course, Jay Chou has many fans.

  The entire waiting area was crowded with people at this moment, as if it had suddenly become a talent exchange market.

  Various actors, directors, producers...

  Guang proposed to cooperate with Xu Xin on the phone number of the XX producer. At this moment, Xu Xin has saved no less than ten.

  The whole waiting area also became noisy.

   Until a person arrives.

   It is not appropriate to say coming.

   Rather, it should be said to be the scene of entering the waiting area.

  As soon as he appeared, the voices of some young actors or film and television practitioners in the entire venue disappeared.

  Including Xu Xin who was huddled in the corner, the same was true.

  This person has medium-length hair, and the hair is gray against the black and white.

   Looks a little old, and wears black-rimmed glasses.

  But you only need to take a look, and you will naturally call out his name...

   "Master Xing..."

  Wang Sicong's eyes widened:

   "Why are you so old?"

   "..."

   "..."

  Xu Xin and Lang Lang were speechless.

  Finally, Jay Chou said in a low voice:

"It's hereditary. We saw it once before, and the hair is the same. I asked, it's inherited from the family. It turned gray very early, but it's just that the hair has been dyed and I can't see it. Now I'm retiring behind the scenes to be a director. Regarding this Don't hide it~"

   "..."

  Hearing this, Wang Sicong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said:

   "I suddenly feel like crying, is it normal?"

   No response.

  Just Xu Xin sighed:

"well…"

  He didn't know why he was sighing.

  You can see Master Xing in front of you, connecting him with the actor who has been with him for a decade or two... Apart from this sigh, he couldn't find any other way to express his feelings.

   Hearing this sigh, Jay Chou turned his head and glanced at him, and said:

   "Want to get to know each other?"

"…Can?"

   "Actually, he doesn't like socializing very much."

   At first she shook her head slightly, but immediately pouted at Master Xing who came in:

   "But we had a good chat before we got better~ Let's go, maybe he has seen your movie."

  The moment Xu Xin heard this, Xu Xin shivered suddenly.

  A heat quickly rose from his cheeks.

  He blushed.

   "Let's go."

"…Um!"

  Jay Chou took the lead, and led the three younger brothers to go straight to the very low-key Xing Ye who came alone.

   "Master Xing~"

   Under the gaze of a group of people, he said hello.

   Zhou Xingchi, who didn't know what he was thinking at first, turned his head and saw that it was Jay Chou, a smile appeared on his face:

   "Oh~ Ah jay."

   In one sentence, I don’t know how many young actors showed envy, jealousy and hatred.

  Everyone knows that Zhou Xingchi doesn't like talking or socializing in private.

   Even his temper is a little weird.

  But now I can greet Jay Chou with a smile on my face...

   All of a sudden, there were mixed feelings in everyone's hearts.

   In the time of a greeting, Jay Chou has already walked up to Master Xing and said with a smile:

"long time no see."

   "Yeah, it's been a year or two, right?"

  Zhou Xingchi nodded, and then turned his gaze to the three people behind.

  Wang Sicong, skip quickly.

   Lang Lang, paused slightly.

  Xu Xin...

   "This is director Xu Xin, right?"

   "...????"

  Xu Xin was momentarily stunned.

   "Uh... ah... uh..."

  Rarely, he, who has always been able to deal with it freely, showed a look of panic and loss of ground.

  Zhou... Zhou Xingchi knows me! ?

  ? ? ? ?

   This surprise instantly made his mind confused.

  As if drunk, he stretched out his hand:

   "Master Xing... Hello, you are my fan!"

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

   The one who was speechless with the three of them was Zhou Xingchi.

   "..."

   Looking for a monthly pass~~
