I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 391: 389. Trans-era Heroine

  Chapter 391 389. Cross-era heroine

"Where are you now?"

   "Well, I just arrived in Yanjing, so I heard my baby talk about it."

   "Oh~ what about tomorrow? Make an appointment with Lao Chen and the others for a couple of laps?"

   "How about calling Lao Chen, boy who spreads money. It just so happens that I want to change a car, so I take his money and give it to myself as a gift."

   "Haha~ okay, then tomorrow."

   "Okay, wow tomorrow."

  After confirming that Zhang Ziyi had offended him, he changed the subject and started dating a mahjong game.

  In the end, everyone hung up the phone with a "hahaha" laugh.

  But after hanging up the phone, the smile on Xu Daqiang's face gradually disappeared.

  He didn't say anything, neither did Xu Xin.

   Only Liang Bingning was a little uneasy.

  Until...Xu Daqiang lit another cigarette for himself.

   "Hiss... Puff. What's the matter, it's better if you don't contact me about things over there in the future."

   This is the answer Xu Daqiang gave after careful consideration.

   And Xu Xin also understood, nodded directly, and said:

"It's necessary to keep in touch...Yang Mi and I were still talking on the way back that we would go to the Three Treasures Hall if we had nothing to do. She should be careful when she suddenly came over to get acquainted with each other at the Golden Horse Awards. But...even if you don't fight this The phone, and none of the alliances she's trying to make."

  The second half of the sentence is for Liang Bingning:

"It's not that there are some things that are not to be done, but that they are not suitable for doing. Usually, we all disperse separately, and we can't count them together, so no matter how small a spark is, it can't start a prairie fire. But if we really get together, there will be a big commotion, Naturally, someone will pay attention…”

   "..."

  Amid Liang Bingning's silence, Xu Xin shook his head slightly:

   "Before the industry, there are practitioners. And industry standards can only be determined from the industry. Practitioners...cannot be determined."

  …

  Liang Bingning left.

   After all, the time is a bit late, and it's time to rest.

   Didn't say much.

   There is no need to say anything.

  She just got into the car and asked Yang Tianzhen who was driving:

   "Tianzhen, where did Mimi put that set of books in Wanwan?"

  Yang Tianzhen thought for a while and replied:

   "It's in Chongqing."

   "Well, remember to help me find it when I get there tomorrow."

"OK."

   On Xu Xin's side, after she left, Xu Daqiang asked:

   "What is she going to do?"

  “…want to keep climbing.”

  Xu Xin sighed:

   "Alas... Apart from this idea, I can't think of other possibilities."

   "Climbing? How can it be so easy to climb?"

  Xu Daqiang was a little speechless:

   "Some people have to rely on one generation and two generations to climb up. How can there be a step to the sky?"

   These words are actually quite rare from the mouth of the old man.

  Usually, the old man will say at most:

   "Oh, let's climb. If you can succeed, you will succeed. If you don't succeed, you will choose your own path."

  But now that he heard this kind of "hate iron but not steel" words...Xu Xin didn't have any other thoughts.

   Just a little more EMO.

  Some words are turning over and over in my stomach and I can't ask them.

  Finally...he didn't ask anything.

  The old man was also sleepy, so he chose to go back to sleep.

   And when he returned to the master bedroom, he found that Yang Mi was looking at him treacherously...

   "How are you doing?"

   "Why do you have the nerve to ask?"

  Xu Xin rolled his eyes:

   "Didn't you run very fast just now? Why are you so curious now?"

"Oh, are you talking nonsense?... I really have no face to see her... Uh, it's not right. It's not that I have no face, it's that I don't know how to face it... Eh? It's not right. Anyway, that's what it means, you understand. It just... feels bad comfortable…"

  Yang Mi said while pointing to the door.

   means to lock the door.

   Close the door and whisper.

  Xu Xin explained the content of the phone call just now.

  After listening, Yang Mi frowned and asked:

   "You said... Is there a possibility that her love has changed?"

   "...Love change? With that foreigner?"

   "Yes, both of them postponed their marriage. I remember reading the news before, and it was a pigeon egg diamond ring, and it was a meeting with parents. But now it is suddenly postponed. There must be something wrong with their relationship."

"so?"

   "Plus what Aunt Zhao said about not doing things properly... Eh?"

   She seemed to have thought of something, and the fire of gossip in her eyes began to blaze:

   "Do you think... Zhang Ziyi's empathy is not in love... that's why she created a fear of marriage or something."

"Then?"

   "...It's gone."

"That's it?"

  Xu Xin was speechless:

   "I thought you could figure out something else, such as who gave her the courage to do this..."

  Yang Mi rolled her eyes:

   "Why do I think that? I'm gossiping with you, not outwitting you."

   "..."

  Xu Xin was speechless.

   Shaking his head and walking to the bathroom.

   Take a shower and go to bed.

this day…

   Not enough to toss.

  …

  On Tuesday, that is, at noon on the 15th, the couple ushered in an "unqualified guest".

   "Hey~~ Isn't this our Asian king Jay Chou? What kind of wind brought you here?"

  Standing in front of the gate, with two dogs squatting at his feet, Xu Xin with a sarcastic face looked at Jay Chou who got out of the car with a "sneer".

   "?"

   Jay Chou gave him a strange look, and said:

   "It's noon, what kind of wind do you have?"

  Hearing this, Xu Xin stretched out his hand:

   "Bring it."

   "..."

   Jay Chou was a little speechless, took a CD from Dani and handed it to him.

"Give."

   "Hmm~~~~"

  Xu Xin made a long note, looked at the white CD carefully, and nodded slightly:

   "You are smart, come in."

   "Ha~"

   We haven't seen each other for ten days and half a month, Jay Chou couldn't help laughing seeing his stinking behavior.

   Petted the two dogs wagging their tails at him, followed Xu Xin into the house.

   "Hey, Uncle Yang, Aunt Yang."

   After saying hello to Yang Dalin and his wife, who were busy cooking in the kitchen, Jay Chou walked into the living room.

   Seeing Yang Mi in the living room by herself, he asked:

   "Where's the baby?"

   "Sleeping in the house."

"I gonna go see?"

"just go."

  Yang Mi said something casually, and then directed Xu Xin:

   "Quick, quick, listen."

  Xu Xin nodded, walked to the TV, turned on the DVD player, pushed the CD in, and tuned to the TV channel.

  The picture was dark, but there were bursts of bells that felt like electric mics from the stereo.

   Then there was a rush of drums and guitars.

Then…

   "The clock chirps, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah..."

   "Awww~~

   "You can't speak Bilibili..."

   "I have crossed the age makabaka..."

   After listening to the chorus, Yang Mi and Xu Xin stared at each other after the song entered the piano accompaniment...

   "What the **** is this?"

   he asked.

  Yang Mi stared straight at the TV screen and shook her head:

   "I just heard something...you can't speak...I understand these. And then there is that thing that spans the era...I don't understand the other lyrics."

  Xu Xin nodded:

   "Then change to another song?"

   "Change it, this one doesn't sound good."

   As soon as she finished speaking, Jay Chou came out speechless:

   "Hey, can you two think about it when you say bad things about others... don't let the person involved hear it. Also, isn't it my style to speak badly?"

   "It's your style."

  Xu Xin nodded:

   "The problem is... brother, I can't understand a single word!"

   "..."

  Under Jay Chou's speechless gaze, Xu Xin continued to play the second song.

  【I said goodbye~ only to find out that I will never see you again~~~~】

   "This song is okay... cut the song."

  【The sound of prosperity escapes into the empty door...】

   "Cut the song, I will save this song for the last time to listen to."

  【If you want to become a ROCKER...】

   "Why does it sound like "Cowboys Are Busy"?...It doesn't sound good, cut the song."

  【Long time~ No see~ How are you~…】

   "This song is okay...but it's not attractive, cut the song."

  【It rains all night~~~】

   "This song is nice, the artistic conception is there, and it sounds comfortable... Listen to half of the song first, then cut the song."

  【The landing gear leaves the ground...】

   "Cut it."

   "Hey! You haven't finished listening to the song yet, why don't you just cut the song at the first line!?"

   "It's not my favorite style. I'm still proud of the way you sing quietly... Girls don't like the feeling of singing and dancing. Brother, cut the song, it doesn't sound good."

   "..."

  【I don’t cry~…】

   "Hey, right, I still like you to sing this kind of lyrical song. It sounds good, this one sounds good! Cut the song and listen carefully later."

  【Flying for Love~Escape~Gravity Passion...】

   "This song is named after your fans who discovered that star, right?... Tsk tsk, my wheel is so caring. I'm such a fan~ Call me for my wheel!"

   "Please, can you stop being weird..."

   "Oh, you two are talking so much nonsense, cut!"

  【Without the rain, the wipers still keep going left and right! 】

   "This sounds great! Wow, this is superb, it feels really good! ... Which song is this?"

   "The tenth song."

   "It's gone?"

   "No, there is another song "Superman Can't Fly"."

   "Superman can't fly, so he is still called Superman? What a broken name..."

   "..."

   "Quick, listen to it."

  【Oh if Superman could fly...】

   "..."

   "..."

   In less than fifteen minutes, after "listening" to all the songs in the album, the couple looked at each other...

   "You go back and choose the third song, just the song of the wind in the sky, let's listen to it again."

"good."

  Following Yang Mi's instructions, Xu Xin adjusted the CD to the third song.

   "The sound of prosperity has escaped into the empty door and broken the evil spirit... the world."...

   After listening to the song that Yang Mi chose to keep in the bottom of the box, the couple looked at each other.

   After completing the exchange of opinions in this emptiness, Xu Xin held the remote control and looked at his friend and said:

   "This contestant, the album you've been polishing for two years...is that all?"

   "...???"

   Jay Chou was speechless at first.

  But after seeing the serious expressions of the couple, they immediately felt relieved.

   smiled and shook his head:

   "Seeing the reaction of the two of you, I can probably guess the reaction of fans after the release."

  Xu Xin frowned slightly:

   "What do you mean? You are not satisfied either?"

   "No, this is the album I am most satisfied with."

   "???"

   "????"

   "In this chapter of the album... well, let me explain something easy for you two. For example, "Fireworks Are Cold", do you think it is the wind?"

   "Yeah, isn't that obvious..."

   "Then go back and listen to it again."

  Hearing this, Xu Xin tuned it again.

  After listening to a song, he continued to look at him with Yang Mi eagerly:

   "What's wrong?"

   "...wow, you really are."

  Jay Chou shook his head helplessly:

   "Your musical talent is really 0. Two aspects..."

  He raised two fingers:

"On the one hand, in this song, the most syllable is "XI", which is 7. But the traditional Chinese style music is Gongshangjiao Zhengyu, which is 12356. Therefore, it is not a style in the traditional sense, but As laymen of music, you two only need to listen to one ear to conclude that this is the song of the sky."

"Well…"

   "..."

  To be honest, Xu Xin couldn't understand what he said was too professional.

  Even as a director, when he is making a movie, he has to give the movie soundtrack some feeling.

   But that feeling is pretty vague.

  The meaning he conveyed is actually quite limited.

  For example, in a certain segment, he would say to the person who made the soundtrack, "This is a piece of music that I want to be more magnificent", and then turn to another segment: "Here, I want to be lighter"...

  His soundtrack mainly relies on this kind of communication.

   Then the musician made a demo and showed it to him.

  If it feels right, continue to modify it, if not, discuss it and do it again.

  But facing Jay Chou, he is no different from a primary school student.

  So I don’t know much about Gongshang Jiaozheng, or the power of “7”.

  Then Jay Chou raised his second finger:

   "Second point, I didn't use any instruments related to our country throughout this song. It used pianos, guitars, organs, clarinets...all Western instruments. But, I created the wind of heaven."

"Well…"

  The so-called expert will know if there is one as soon as he makes a move.

  As soon as he said this, Xu Xin rewound the song and listened to it again.

   Not to mention... After listening to it, he really didn't seem to find any Chinese musical instruments.

"Amazing…"

  Hearing Xu Xin's praise, Jay Chou uttered:

   "Tch~"

  That appearance is as arrogant as it is.

   Leaning against the door frame, he continued:

"That's why I told you that this is the album I am most satisfied with. Because without the shackles of other companies, I can make the music I like... In this album, I played BLUES and Western Heaven, I played a lot of things that the company didn’t allow me to play before. I’m very happy with myself...and don’t worry. This album may not be very popular, but after three, five, or even ten years, you will sound the same Will not fall behind! Believe it or not!"

   "Too advanced is easy to die quickly, brother."

  Seeing that he also wants to engage in the "one version ahead" model, Xu Xin is a little speechless.

  But Jay Chou waved his hand:

   "Ann, there is still a difference between music and movies... at least in my case. So don't worry."

"…Fine."

  He said all these words, Xu Xin shrugged, and then asked:

   "What is the number of this album?"

   "The first... Hey, brother, don't make trouble. What are you doing~~~"

  Looking at Xu Xin who suddenly became malicious, Jay Chou began to break out in a cold sweat.

  Xu Xin smiled charmingly, pulled out the disc from the DVD player, and picked up the marker next to it:

   "Come on, sign."

   "Again? Is my signature against you? Isn't it enough to have a disc?"

   "Hurry up, don't you want to eat delicious food at noon?"

  Hearing this, Jay Chou, who has given all his DEMOs to his friends from the first "JAY" to now, no longer struggles.

  Flying around, he signed his name and wrote a line:

   ""Cross Era", number: NO.1"

   After signing, he did not forget to say:

   "It's over, it's worth less than 100,000 yuan in the future~"

   "One hundred thousand yuan?... What's in it, motherfucker, why do you let our guests stand? Come on, make room. Serve tea!"

  Besides Jewell's people, the first person in the world to hear this album called "Cross-Era" showed a very snobbish face.

  Yang Mi also nodded in a doggy manner, and hurried to prepare.

   After serving him a cup of tea in his hand, Jay Chou rubbed the dog's head under his feet and said:

   "Hey, do you have any characters in "Pandaren" to recommend to me? I want a heroine who looks pure and innocent, and a supporting role who looks like a girl next door."

  Hearing this, Yang Mi was taken aback:

   "Didn't you say you wanted Jiang Yuchen to be the protagonist?"

   "..."

   The corner of Jay Chou's mouth twitched...

   But in front of the two of them, he had nothing to hide, and said directly:

   "Although the role of Jiang Xiaoyu was made based on her... But it's not like we broke up~"

   "Come on, at the dance two days ago, didn't you rekindle your old relationship with her and left halfway?"

  Yang Mi began to expose his background.

   Jay Chou was speechless:

   "What is the resurgence of an old relationship? We just met to chat... After all, "Pandaren" is about to open. But..."

   "Did they not agree?"

  Xu Xin hit the mark.

   Jay Chou nodded:

   "Well, I promised to be friends after we broke up~"

   "噫~"

   "Hey~~~~~"

  Hearing this, the couple showed disgusted expressions at the same time.

   "Bah, you are so vulgar..."

   "Hey, Xin, this is too much!"

  Obviously, Xu Xin's complaints made him very hurt.

  Yang Mi asked:

   "So what? They didn't agree?"

"…Um."

   After a moment of silence, Jay Chou nodded:

   "She still doesn't feel relieved... so I don't want to think about it. Is there any good candidates for the roles of Jiang Xiaoyu and Li Liya? If so, I will recommend them directly. If not, I will start the audition immediately."

   "Yes, of course! Oh, my husband, how can I let Mr. Jay Chou drink last year's old tea~ Hurry up, serve good tea, and make this year's newly picked Yuqian Longjing for our king Zhou Dong."

"okay."

  Amid Xu Xin's response, the corners of Jay Chou's mouth twitched.

  Looking down at the slightly cloudy tea soup in his cup...

   "Hey, you two...won't you be so realistic! This soup is muddy! I just found out!"

   "You know what a fart. You are Maojian, just soaked, and the soup is not cloudy? How can you really use ordinary tea to fool you?"

   Xu Xin, who didn't move his butt, rolled his eyes.

  But Yang Mi stood up:

"You wait."

   Soon, she came out of the study and took out some artistic photos.

   "Here, Shuangwei all the beauties!"

   "..."

   "..."

   You say crazy... She knows to keep all the good things for her own people.

   But you say she is normal...

  It's outrageous that these words can come out of her mouth.

   Speechless, Jay Chou looked at Yang Ying's mugshot and shook his head:

   "Isn't she whole, no, I want natural beauty."

   After speaking, she moved away from her photo and saw Zhao Liying.

   "Oh? The photo of Baozi is okay... But she is not the Jiang Xiaoyu I imagined. I want to find someone who is the opposite of Jesse (Jiang Yuchen)...Let Baozi play Li Liya, okay?"

   "Husband! What are you waiting for! Hurry up and get the old badge!"

  Xu Xin rolled his eyes again.

   Jay Chou also shook his head helplessly:

   "I'm talking about auditions!"

   "Don't do this, Li Liya! It's dead! Let her do it!"

   "...tsk."

  He also put the artistic photo of Baozi aside.

   Then saw the third photo...

   "Hmm... Zhang Jiao looks so cold in this photo, no good. I want a purer one, she doesn't have that kind of temperament."

   "You can wear makeup."

   "..."

  Even Xu Xin couldn't listen to these words:

   "Okay, you, Jiaojiao's face is cold, so it's definitely not suitable."

   "Tsk..."

  Yang Mi actually knew it too, so although she was a little regretful, she could accept it.

   And Zhang Jiao's photo is also the last one.

   Jay Chou scratched his head:

   "No Liu Yifei?"

   "Liu Yifei is now a Schrödinger's cat."

   "Whoa, Honey, have you started reading the Quantum Realm yet?"

   "Haha, look~"

  Yang Mi is a little proud, but the joke is no joke, she still pointed at Xu Xin:

   "It's mainly him who is still considering who to play in "The Hawthorn Tree", so I have to keep Liu Yifei's schedule. What's more, she doesn't want to take on TV dramas right now... How about I recommend Shishi to you?"

  Suddenly, Yang Mi changed the topic:

   "If you want to find someone like Liu Yifei... Can you do poetry?"

   "Just... the girl in the blue dress in that TV show?"

   "Yes. How is she?"

"Well…"

   Jay Chou thought for a while and said:

   "Do you have any photos? Modern photos."

   "Wait."

  Yang Mi picked up the phone directly.

   And Xu Xin asked:

   "The preparations for "Pandaren" are over?"

   "It's about the same, the only thing missing is the actor. I just came here to prepare for the audition these few days. After the peak night, I will choose a group. It's almost the same."

   While talking, Yang Mi has already called Liu Zhishi:

"Hey, where are you? ... Is that so ... Do you have an electronic version of your art photos? ... You send me, now... Oh, don't ask, just send me... Okay, hurry up... Well, I hung up. "

  The phone hung up, and she stood up again:

   "I'm going to print."

"good."

  Jay Chou did not refuse, but after Yang Mi left, he suddenly said to Xu Xin:

   "Hey, how did Mimi know that I was going to invite Lin Zhiling for my birthday..."

   "..."

  Xu Xin's mouth twitched...

   After a moment, he shook his head slightly:

   "It seems that there is a traitor among us!"

   "...then can you still go?"

   "I'm here to celebrate your birthday, why can't you go?"

  Xu Xin's words sounded grandiose.

   Now Jay Chou has a bottom line:

   "Okay, it's business as usual!"

   "Huh! Mask theme?"

   "That's right, the theme of the mask! The style of the mask was chosen by Lao Wang himself..."

   "I can rest assured that he handles the work."

   "Hey, I'm relieved too..."

  The two of them started to laugh meanly.

  Until Yang Mi walked in with a piece of colored printing paper:

"Give."

   After the photo was finished, Jay Chou looked down...

  Nodding slightly:

   "Not bad, is there any problem with acting?"

   "Don't worry, it's absolutely reliable."

  Yang Mi directly guaranteed the ticket:

   "It's a big deal, I'll help her make up for it, and you can send me the script later. It will be done!"

   "emmm..."

   After thinking about it, he nodded:

"Sure."

   Just like that, the little gear of fate twisted quietly again.

  Liu Zhishi, who was far away in Shanghai, suddenly sneezed:

   "Ah Choo!"
