I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 216 214. Win the pot

"I just said I heard the sound of a car... Why did you get up so early? Don't leave in a hurry. Come down."

Lang Lang, who was startled by the movement, turned his head and made a surprised sound:

"Old Yang!?"

"...Can we change our names? Forget it, have you eaten? Let's eat together? Go inside and wash your hands. I'll wake Xu Xin up."

"...???"

Lang Lang, who had a chicken coop on his head, looked straight at Yang Mi, who was wearing an apron, with a look of shock on his face.

Subconsciously he glanced at his watch.

7:27…

It was early 12 o'clock when he got home last night. He was so drunk that he fell asleep in the car. He woke up after 6 o'clock and vomited once, and couldn't fall asleep.

That's when I thought of coming over to pick up the car.

In fact, logically speaking, it is enough to hire an assistant for this kind of thing.

But he is not a lazy person. In addition, he lives not far from here. After drinking, his stomach feels empty and uncomfortable, so he simply strolls over and breathes fresh air to adjust the discomfort in his body. .

Unexpectedly...

I was just about to drive away, and I expected that Lao Xu, who had also drank a lot last night, would not be up, so I didn't want to disturb them early in the morning...

But when she heard the sound of starting her car, Yang Mi came out unexpectedly.

Are you still calling me to eat?

It's not even 7:30 yet.

this……

So virtuous?

Lang Lang was shocked.

But now that he had met him, he wasn't in a hurry to leave.

He raised the car window and re-entered the house.

Then I smelled a nice aroma of millet porridge from the kitchen at the door.

At this time, Yang Mi walked out of the house again:

"It's just the three of us today. My brother and sister-in-law haven't gotten up yet. How about eating here? It's cool in the morning, so it's comfortable to eat in the corridor."

Pointing to the porch, after she finished speaking, Lang Lang nodded subconsciously and asked:

"When did you get up?"

"6 o'clock."

"……So early?"

"got used to."

Yang Mi said as she walked into the kitchen.

"I have to practice martial arts in the morning. My teacher said that the first ray of purple energy rising from the sky and the earth is very important to martial arts practitioners... Although it is a bit metaphysical, I am used to it."

"..."

Lang Lang was speechless.

Purple air?

Practice martial arts?

He couldn't help but look at the log pole next to the grape trellis.

Yesterday I heard Big Lao Wang chatting there and said something... that was a white wax pole.

He doesn't understand either.

Since I was drinking at the time, I didn’t think much about it.

Now think about it...

"What's that stick for?"

"Which one?"

Yang Mi, who was busy in the kitchen, rolled her head and took a look, then said:

"It's for practicing with big guns."

"...???"

Lang Lang was stunned and asked:

"Can I take a look?"

"Let's see."

So, he walked over and picked up the oily-looking pole...

It's not too heavy to start with, but it's not too light either.

It's definitely no problem to pick it up, but the problem is...

How do you do this?

Normally, he wouldn't even touch this thing. After all, to put it bluntly, even if his hand got a thorn, it would be a risk and loss.

However, the white wax rod in front of me looks quite good, with no burrs and is still very smooth.

Men, they have a natural persistence and agitation for this kind of thing.

After observing it for a while, he tried to swing it...

"Woo!"

A deep voice sounded.

When she heard the noise, Yang Mi, who was about to cook, turned around and immediately panicked:

"Hey, hey, please don't."

"……ah?"

Lang Lang subconsciously didn't dare to mess around, thinking that the stick had other uses.

But he saw Yang Mi walking out quickly:

"Your hands are so valuable, why are you playing with them?"

"Well……"

Only then did he feel at ease.

smiled and said:

"It's okay, it doesn't matter..."

"That's not okay. If I were hit or stabbed by your hand, wouldn't I be a sinner?"

Yang Mi quickly and carefully took over the white wax pole.

But Lang Lang asked curiously:

"How do you use this thing? How do you practice a big gun?"

"Well……"

Seeing that he seemed really curious, Yang Mi simply held the pole with both hands:

"That's it. Have you heard of Yue Wumu's Thirteen Spears?"

"...I think I've heard of it."

"Just like this."

She made a starting move.

The horse stepped forward, anger sank from his dantian, and he held the bottom of the white wax pole with both hands.

Weird things happen.

He was obviously holding the bottom of the pole, which was the most difficult to exert force on, but unfortunately, the pole only swayed slightly and did not drop at all.

Lang Lang's eyes widened in surprise.

Then I heard a sound:

"prick!"

"Whoosh..."

The pole thrust out.

Immediately afterwards...

"receive!"

"Woo!"

The low voice and the pole that suddenly began to twist... gave Lang Lang a strange feeling.

Why is it like a rubber stick?

Yang Mi, on the other hand, demonstrated two consecutive thrusts, thrusts, thrusts, and draws, and then she directly put away her gun.

"I'm not practicing well...so I can only use a two-meter-five-meter pole. My teacher all uses a four-meter-seven meter...the tip of the gun doesn't move at all. Anyway, that's what it means, this is how to practice the Xingyi Big Spear. I’ll demonstrate it to you, but don’t learn it. If you don’t have the basics of this stuff, it’s easy to injure your hand joints. Just take a look.”

"..."

Lang Lang no longer knew what to say.

Because what the other party was practicing... looked quite powerful.

So I couldn't help but ask:

"What else can you do?"

"Xingyiquan, Baguazhang, Qijiadao, Mantis Chuanlin Sword. But they are all superficial, all work, real things... My teacher said they are too dangerous and not suitable for this era."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound in the room:

"Stay away from her, her Baguazhang hands are dark."

Xu Xin, who was also sleepy-eyed, also got up.

Yang Mi rolled her eyes at her boyfriend angrily and said directly:

"Wash your hands and eat."

"This... okay."

Lang Lang nodded and muttered to Xu Xin who came over:

"Your life... may not be easy in the future."

"Nope……"

Xu Xin was happy.

She said in her heart that I gave her a beating last night.

Hi!

Comfortable.

…

Millet porridge, pickles from Liubiju, a pot of flower rolls that Wang Sicong didn't get last night, and fried tofu with vegetables.

Plus three fried eggs.

This is the ordinary breakfast of Lao Xu’s family.

The food is actually no different from that of an ordinary family.

Tools are fireworks in the world.

Xu Xin actually thinks what Director Zhang said is quite right.

Directors stand out from the soil of the people, but after becoming famous, directors increasingly like to make things that are divorced from the people.

If the things you photograph are not grounded, they will easily drift away.

It expands when it floats.

It explodes when it expands.

He didn't know what others thought, but to him, there was nothing wrong with what he said.

While drinking porridge, Yang Mi suddenly said:

"Brother, are you going to start exercising again?"

"Well……"

Xu Xin lowered his head and glanced at his bulging belly sitting on the horse, and nodded:

"Yes. Otherwise I won't be able to wear those suits. My stomach is getting bigger~"

He did gain a lot of weight during the Olympics due to his irregular schedule and overeating.

Mainly because my stomach is bulging from sitting for a long time.

Lang Lang silently looked down at his belly and said:

"Where does Lao Xu exercise?"

"Just in front of the Xiangjiang Equestrian Club."

"...The one with a very expensive membership fee?"

"right."

"I wanted to come there before and said I would go there and have a look. I knew the price was expensive, but I didn't know how the service was..."

"Then you'll come with me to have a look later?"

"Okay, let's go. I really need to lose weight..."

After Lang Lang finished speaking, Xu Xin asked:

"You can't do... some equipment or something with your hands, right?"

"I can't do it. I can't lift heavy objects or barbell equipment. I won't touch any equipment that touches my hands..."

"Isn't it just a jog at most?"

"Yes. I will never be a handsome man in this life..."

Hearing this, Xu Xin nodded:

"Well, when my eight-pack abs come back, let's go to the beach."

"..."

Lang Lang couldn't choke on this mouthful of Hanaki.

"Oh, look at you..."

Yang Mi silently patted Xu Xin's arm:

"Why do you keep exposing others?"

Lang Lang, who was quite moved at first, was even more speechless.

Even my hands were shaking a little.

…

Yang Mi.

Post on the theme of "The latest stills of Sword and Sword III leaked from rice shoots":

"That drama has nothing to do with us anymore, can we stop posting it? I have a headache these days when I see posts about Fairy Sword."

"By the way, is Mimi really not picking up the call? I also think Mimi is super suitable for "Xue Jian"."

"Upstairs, the filming of the show has already started. The fact is that the Tang Dynasty is playing tricks on us, don't think about it."

…

Along with the cast photos of Tang Yan, Liu Zhishi, and Hu Stubble, this topic post received a lot of replies.

Some people saw the look of Sedum played by the stubble and thought it was very suitable. After all, "no stubble, no fairy sword" has become a basic understanding.

The male protagonist of "Sword and Fairy" is almost as if he is bound to him.

I have to admit that Hu Zai's acting is really good.

Captured the essence of the character.

But whenever everyone sees Tang Yan dressed in red and white with curly hair, they still unconsciously complain... Xuejian is obviously a eldest lady who looks unruly and willful at first glance but is actually a warm-hearted and soft-hearted young lady. Image, how come Tang Yan is here... Although I don't know how his acting is, but because his appearance is more of a cool type, with this makeup, you can't see anything arrogant, but instead he is full of viciousness?

How did you choose this role?

Don’t the people of the Tang Dynasty know the rule that when choosing a role, choose the image first?

How do we recognize Miss Xuejian who looks like a cold personality?

Then Liu Zhishi is okay...

After all, she looks quite like Liu Yifei.

It’s this Yukimi…

Just when I was complaining about this leaked photo in Tieba, suddenly, "Yang Mi" replied to the Tieba floor who asked "Is Mimi really not answering?":

"You really want me to act that much?"

As soon as I appeared, the entire forum became lively.

After catching Yang Mi's reply, he started building various buildings.

Messages such as "Is it close to me, Mimi?", "If you don't play DOTA, I am a thief of Shadow Demon", "Is it true that Mimi can't pick it up? Xianjian fans express their sadness" and other messages came up.

But Yang Mi didn't reply.

I just saw that this post suddenly had more than 100 posts in a short while, and I dialed Sun Ting’s phone number:

"Come pick me up and go to the company."

…

"Hello, everyone, I am Yang Mi. Let me say hello to you first~

I have also seen everyone’s messages in the past few days. First of all, I would like to thank the fans of Fairy Sword for giving me so much love.

Before, I had actually been hesitating. First of all, because I have a script for a movie with me. This drama is a drama that I like very much and I have been working hard to polish the character. Therefore, I declined the offer from the "Tang Ren" company.

Indeed, Tangren Film and Television is very sincere and has been talking to me. But what I was thinking about at that time was that on the one hand I had to prepare for film work, and on the other hand... because I am also a Yukimist. It is precisely because I particularly like the character of Xuejian that I can understand why we in Sword and Sword Bar have such expectations for this "Sword and Sword III".

To be honest, I was afraid that if the performance was not good, it would ruin the "snow view" in everyone's hearts.

But here I first want to thank "Tangren Film and Television" for their trust. They have unswervingly given their trust to me and shown full sincerity.

I also want to thank you all for your love. After so many days, I am still working on "Sword and Sword III".

So, after careful consideration, and thanks to your love, since everyone wants me to play the role, I decided to take on the role of "Yukimi". After posting this post, I’m leaving for the airport.

In this drama, I will use my most sincere love as a player who has been playing all the way since the "DOS version of Sword One" to strive to interpret the role of "Xue Jian" well.

It will definitely live up to the love of Fairy Sword fans.

Thank you for your love, I will work hard. "

August 17th. A Baidu bar friend with the ID "Yang Mi" posted this short essay to Baidu Fairy Sword Bar.

Then, before noon, the media, which had been preparing for many days, began to work hard:

"Official announcement! Yang Mi has confirmed to join the cast of "Sword and Sword III" and has rushed to the airport."

"Yang Mi = Xuejian, the first heroine of "Sword and Sword III" is finally confirmed!"

"Fans of "Sword and Sword" are ecstatic, the starring roles of Hu Shi, Yang Mi, Liu Zhishi, Tang Yan and Huo Jianhua are confirmed!"

"A victory for the players of "Sword and Fairy Sword"! Favorite fan Yang Mi has confirmed to join "Sword and Sword III"!"

In the airport, Yang Mi, who had passed the security check, looked at the overwhelming news on the mobile website and said to Sun Ting next to her with some emotion:

"Have you seen what big companies are capable of?"

Sun Ting nodded silently.

My heart is also filled with emotion.

Indeed, if she hadn't been Sister Mi's assistant and saw the sudden and overwhelming news, the first thing she would have thought was "Yang Mi really loves her fans", or "This person is nice and takes her fans seriously." These impressions will arise.

It’s basically the same argument as many people in “Yangmi Bar” and “Xianjian Bar” that I just watched.

Tang Ren used two votes from Fairy Sword fans to make all players form a perception before Sister Mimi agreed to join:

"Yang Mi = Xuejian."

Not to mention the stubble.

There is no sword without a beard.

This impression can be created on everyone before the series even airs.

To be honest, this kind of energy is really frightening.

But……

As one of the people closest to Sister Mimi, I witnessed the whole process of "How Sister Mi and Brother Xu chatted" and "How Sister Mi and Sister Zeng chatted with Tang Ren", including "Sister Mi and Brother Xu after chatting with Tang Ren" How did we talk about this?" After these events, Sun Ting has clearly seen the essence of this matter.

Tangren had already prepared a retreat after Sister Mimi confirmed to join.

In other words...the deal between Sister Mimi and Tang Ren has been completed.

What Sister Mimi wants is for her to take the lead in joining this matter, because she wants to leave an impression on the fans, that is, "Yang Mi herself does not want to join Sword and Sword III, but it is because the fans are too loud and she values ​​their fans." That’s why I decided to put aside the movie script I had in hand and join the movie.”

On the one hand, Sister Mimi is preparing for Brother Xu's movie "The Wind".

When the movie is released, let everyone know that "I put "Sword and Sword III" on hold because of this movie."

But now because "everyone wants me to play the role, I will fulfill everyone's wishes despite all difficulties", so she joined the cast and it was officially announced.

Even when I was being photographed by paparazzi outside the airport just now, I didn't dodge, I didn't even put on a disguise, I just let myself be photographed generously.

The Tang people allowed it.

They gave the "fan interests" completely to Sister Mimi.

This made her popular among Fairy Sword fans.

And similarly, in exchange, Sister Mimi, from this moment on, has stood at the forefront of the work "Sword of Immortal" together with Hu Stubble.

Even because Hu stubble himself is from the Tang Dynasty, his position is further behind than Sister Mimi.

The one at the front, the one with the most exposure, is Sister Mimi who did this.

From the moment she officially announced her joining, she was destined to be the one who stormed the drama "Sword and Sword III", and who was struck by lightning.

What she wants to do is to help this film come into being due to the mistakes made by Tangren's own company... It has already caused waves before the filming started... or even before the shooting started. At the same time, most of the focus of the script is on the second female lead. "Langui" plays the role of Liu Zhishi in the drama "To Block the Gun."

This drama has become a success, so it is natural for Liu Zhishi to jump into the role of Nightshade as a sublimation point.

But if it doesn't work, then Sister Mimi will be the one who blocks the gun.

Hu Stubble's acting skills, including the overall image of "Sword" have been recognized by the market. And if this drama flops, whose fault will it be if there is no chance that there will be any problems with the stubble?

Need to ask?

Definitely a heroine.

In this case, Liu Zhishi's losses could be minimized.

Because in this script, according to Brother Xu, the role of "Solanum Solanum" is destined to not require much acting skills. As long as it fits the cold appearance and can make a few expressions, it is enough.

Tang Ren created the script just for her, hoping to make "Little Liu Yifei" an instant hit and completely replace Liu Yifei, who could basically say goodbye to mainland entertainment resources.

So, it’s done, Sister Mimi and Tang Ren are done together.

But if the show fails...

That pot is basically the same as Sister Mimi’s.

Who told you to "try your best to restore" the character?

Who let you play the "Sword of Immortal" series of games?

In the interview for "Sword of Immortal One", Hu Stubble had already said that he had never played any of the games in the Immortal Sword series.

The same is true for Liu Zhishi and Tang Yan.

No one understands fairy swords.

But you understand.

You know what you should do if you fail in your performance?

Aren't you going to take over the pot?

To put it bluntly, the bargaining chips of both parties have been completely exchanged at this moment.

Tangren has been in an invincible position since she accepted the role of Xuejian from Sister Mimi.

And what Sister Mimi got was actually not much.

But according to Brother Xu, it seems like a loss, but if it succeeds, then she will get the biggest benefit.

Brother Xu didn't say why he said that. She was a little confused.

But I understand...

Now the pressure has come to Sister Mimi.

Thinking of this, she asked Yang Mi in a low voice:

"Sister, are you...stressed?"

"Um?"

Yang Mi was stunned, feeling that Sun Ting was scolding.

It may be the sequelae of listening to Guo Degang's cross talk.

but……

"No pressure."

She smiled and shook her head:

"Basically it can be said that it is a sure thing."

"Well……"

Sun Ting was a little sluggish.

Are you so confident?

Yang Mi seemed to see her doubts and patted the laptop bag placed next to her:

"Don't underestimate the fact that I have been playing high-level games for three more weeks in the past few days! Don't forget what your brother Xu said... This time, as long as I can perfectly reproduce all the characters of Xuejian in the game, it has nothing to do with the script. Already invincible.”

So, in this wave, Ying Zheng touched the switch and won!

While speaking, her left ring finger, which also had a ring mark, moved.

It seems to be echoing someone on the other side.

…

"I'm on the plane, come on! MUA! Call me when you're not busy at night."

Seeing this message, Xu Xin replied "Okay" and heard Zhang Yimou snoring next to him.

Turning around, he saw Director Zhang, who was wearing a peaked cap, leaning on a chair and already asleep.

He did not wake up Director Zhang, but took away the walkie-talkie placed on his desk, stood up, and pointed the fan at the No. 3 test site in Daxing at Zhang Yimou.

Then they walked off the high platform together with two walkie-talkies, and looked at the busy rehearsal scene of the closing ceremony and the Paralympic opening and closing teams without saying a word.

…

August 24th.

The Olympic Games officially concluded.

With an impressive record of 51 gold medals, 21 silver medals, and 28 bronze medals, for a total of 100 medals, the Chinese delegation ranked first in the medal list of the Summer Olympics for the first time.

Although many regrettable things happened, such as Liu Xiang's withdrawal from the highly anticipated 110-meter hurdles...

But no matter what, when the world's number one answer sheet was handed over, the country was in a state of excitement as it looked at the U.S.A., which had 36 gold medals and was 15 gold medals away.

As for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Summer Olympics, the evaluations given across the country and even around the world are quite consistent:

“The performance of a lifetime.”

For the more than 30,000 actors and directors who have trained hard and racked their brains for these two performances...

There is no better compliment than these words.

And tell the truth.

All that remains is the opening and closing ceremonies of the Paralympic Games in September.

Looking at the people rehearsing the performance, Xu Xin had no surging or exciting thoughts.

He asked himself that he could not empathize with those athletes who were physically challenged but strong and strong.

Although, he also understands that what the other party needs is recognition.

Athletes from all over the world who come to participate in this movement need recognition.

But the problem is that every time he sees those athletes with flaws working hard to light the torch for the opening and closing ceremonies, he still feels extremely sad.

If possible, he hopes there will be no Paralympic Games in the world.

Not to mention disabled people.

It’s best if everyone is healthy.

As for the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games, although I don't know what other people think, Xu Xin is just tired.

His energy and energy had been exhausted at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

Now looking at the holy fire torch that has been extinguished and no longer burning, I feel only tiredness in my heart.

At least... ten years in the future.

He guessed that he would never want to deal with any such large-scale party that attracted the attention of all mankind.

Really tired.

I am so tired that I have no time to recall the ups and downs of the past two years.

There was only one breath of air left hanging over the closing of the Paralympic Games.

…

night.

In the office of the chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games.

"Next is the Paralympic performance. Comrades, we are just one step away from success. So, I ask everyone not to let down their guard, okay? Take two days off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and then continue working normally. This is just one step away. As long as this step is completed, everyone's hard work over the past two years will be in vain. You must persevere, understand?"

"understood!"

After hearing Zhang Yimou's words, everyone including Xu Xin responded.

There was no joy at the end of the Olympics... but instead a feeling of impatientness that "it's almost over."

Seeing this, Zhang Yimou also nodded:

"Meeting dismissed."

It's over, you can go home.

But Xu Xin stopped Yu Zhen:

"Teacher Yu, who should I go to tomorrow?"

"Go directly to the person in the Student Status Management Office. I have already communicated with you. I will bring your ID card there tomorrow. You can follow the 07-level people and go directly to the sophomore year. Don't worry about the courses. You can choose them yourself. The main thing is to grasp the big students. Just take the class and get the credits. But you have to be mentally prepared.

After all, there may be actors in our school who have become famous right after they arrived, but as a billionaire director, this is the first time that he has come to take the sophomore course. Moreover, your former classmate is also in his last year this year, so you may have to deal with many kinds of interpersonal relationships...

Although I have confidence in you, teacher, that you can handle it well, you must also do your own ideological work. At this time, for some students, the relationship may no longer be pure. In addition, you and Mimi have come to this point, and for your future development... eight words: keep yourself clean and cherish your feathers. This is the most basic requirement, do you understand? "

Yu Zhen spoke earnestly and began to vaccinate Xu Xin in advance.

After hearing what Teacher Yu said, Xu Xin nodded:

"Hey, okay, don't you worry about me doing the work...can you finish it in one morning?"

Yu Zhen is indeed at ease with this outstanding child, extremely at ease.

After all, in the past two years or so, everyone has seen how outstanding the student he was when he was recruited based on a few sketches.

But the problem is that others don't know, but she knows the reputation of her students in the first half of their freshman year...

That’s why I made a special statement.

But now looking at his down-to-earth attitude, my heart widened and I nodded:

"Just go there and sign your name. It doesn't even take a whole morning, it only takes five minutes. I've arranged everything for you."

The two of them were talking about restoring their student status.

Keep everything simple.

Obviously, Yu Zhen was not happy to have her disciple be so tired from the Olympics and have to go through complicated procedures when returning to school.

So everything has been arranged in advance.

So, Xu Xin was happy:

"Hey, you still care about me. Then tomorrow I will book a flight... around 11 o'clock?"

"Okay."

As for the relationship between Xu Xin and Yang Mi, after more than two years of contact, Yu Zhen has long been clear about it. I also know what he is going to do...

I have been busy with the Olympics for so long, and I miss my girlfriend...oh no, my fiancée.

Please give me a monthly ticket. Please give me a monthly ticket! 14,000 monthly votes please!
