I'm a Director, I'm Not Bad Chapter 637

  Chapter 637 635. Neither lost nor won

  Xu Xin didn't know anything about Tang Yan, or even if he knew, he wouldn't care much.

   How the daughter-in-law runs the company is her business. No one likes the other party to dictate their own business.

   After finishing his working meal, he rested in the rest room provided by Wanda, and then waited until 8 pm to attend the media premiere as the director of "The Hawthorn Tree".

  Many people came to Shanghai today. The reporters in the afternoon were just an appetizer. Those who came tonight were either a person in charge of a TV station, or the editor-in-chief of some magazines and newspapers. At the same time, there are many famous actors.

   These people are obviously curious about how "The Hawthorn" got the Silver Lion.

   And after reading it...

  The vast majority of people feel that they deserve it.

  When I gave the applause to the director who received the praise at the bottom of the screen, I was full of sighs...

   Really amazing.

   This young man...

   On the 13th, Xu Xin's remarks at the media press conference, combined with a series of local praises for the movie "The Hawthorn Tree" appeared on the Internet.

  The interview took place in Shanghai, but through the magical Internet, his praise for his most direct competitor has spread.

  In the eyes of the public who don't know the truth, "The Hawthorn Tree" is recognized by the media as a good-looking movie.

   This is just right with its honor at the Venice Film Festival.

Deserved.

  And his praise of "If You Are the One 2" has become an expression of generosity in the eyes of many people.

Yeah.

  You media should stop making noise.

   It's not about creating antagonisms and pulling gangs to stand on the top of the mountain. We've finished watching “The Hawthorn Tree” and we're going to watch “If You Are the One”.

   Who didn't stipulate that only one of the two movies can be selected.

  The fans who are looking forward to these two movies are very satisfied, because Xu Xin's words are not interpreted in a dirty way, but are full of... a sense of sympathy.

   Instead of praising each other, combining his experience with Yang Mi when they were in love, he told everyone the ordinary and common side of the couple as public figures in private.

  It is inevitable that audiences like to spy on artists' private lives, and Xu Xin's words can easily resonate with many people.

  They like it very much, and they don't feel bad at all.

  However, what they didn't know was that Xu Xin's words, in the eyes of some caring people, were a clever Tai Chi move.

  Soft yet firm.

  After seeing Xu Xin's "close" words, they understood...the tone of this matter had already been set.

   Until the movie is released, there will be no big waves.

  Feng Xiaogang couldn't do it, and he didn't want to give himself the reputation of being a bully.

   No matter how much Hua Yi wants to touch porcelain, he must not do anything during this period.

  Because in the eyes of outsiders, Xu Xin is just showing favor.

  If someone shows you kindness, but you don't let it go, it means you are not generous and not a character.

  And in the key promotional section of the movie, the audience's perception of a movie is the key to directly determining the success or failure of the box office revenue.

  People in Huayi dared not, and could not take any action.

  If it is an ordinary movie, then they may be able to find some flaws in the content of the opponent, whether it is hiring troopers or distributing black materials, and lowering the audience's expectations through such disgraceful means.

  But the problem is...

  People This film was a big hit at the Venice Film Festival.

  Why are you black?

  Hei does not move.

  People in Huayi are suffering, and so are people in Beijing.

  Because they feel aggrieved by punching cotton.

  The instigator of this feeling just made some friendly and intimate remarks, which set up their posture.

   Even if you obviously don't like it, you still have to bear it.

  When things reached this level, there was only one solution left.

That is…

  Everyone depends on their ability.

  And the last thing they want to accept is that everyone depends on their own abilities.

  They wanted to hype it up, but Xu Xin didn't want to hype it up with them. He made a gesture of goodwill and put all the future plans in the womb.

  Things... it shouldn't be like this.

  At least in the original plan, the two sides must be rivals, creating an opposition from the audience. After creating a sense of contradiction, it is only right to step up and step down step by step.

  But it happens...

   Just a word.

  Some seem to be boasting, but for the compliment that sounds uncomfortable to the person involved, he forcibly draws a clear line...

   It's a bit irritating.

   This is the thought in the hearts of many parties involved.

  As for those who watched coldly... After a day of fermenting on the 13th, they waited until after 5 pm before finally finding the press release of "If You Are the One 2". When they finished reading the content, they knew...

  Xu Xin won.

  Feng Xiaogang:

"There must be competition, but we are healthy competition. It was still a child, and directors have been passed down from generation to generation. Now there is such a seedling among the new generation of directors. Rather than competition, we old guys are more I'm afraid I won't be able to protect him well, and he will be discounted by the wind and rain. So, here, I also want to tell Xu Xin, when you want to watch it, where you want to watch it, and when you want to watch it, give me a call and I will arrange it myself. I believe that "If You Are the One 2" will definitely not let him down."

   This is Feng Xiaogang's response when he was asked by a reporter if he had seen Director Xu's remarks during the movie promotion.

Fine.

   There is nothing wrong with saying about age and algebra.

   But that's all.

  When the words "healthy competition" came out of his mouth, everyone understood...

  Xu Xin...won.

   It was not the Northwest Circle and Xiying Studio that won, but Xu Xin.

   If everyone really "fights", the outcome is unknown. But when this matter changes from commercial competition to personal behaviors such as "age" and "algebra", it will never rise to other levels.

  Is Feng Xiaogang willing?

   It can be seen from the words that it is not necessarily reconciled.

   But even if he is not reconciled, he can't move.

  So, Xu Xin won...

  Won a war without smoke.

  Win a game of thunder and rain but little moistening things.

  tsk...

  I don't know how many people read this manuscript and felt emotional, and sincerely uttered:

"sharp."

   "His words, are you convinced?"

  On the plane, upon hearing what Liu Yifei said, Xu Xin glanced at the IPAD handed over by the other party.

   After reading the content, I smiled:

   "I guess."

   "...is it?"

  The fairy sister whose double chin was showing again was a little curious, so she simply sat on the sofa beside him and asked:

   "Can you explain this to me? ... I didn't quite see it. Just like what you said to the reporter yesterday, if Director Xue hadn't explained it to me, I wouldn't have understood it. What do you mean?"

"Well…"

  Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

"The central idea is actually to follow my words. I proposed that you promote yours, and I promote mine, and everyone will not violate the river. As for him, he admitted it. But he was a little unwilling, so he used words to point at me. It means that he is older than me, and he will not bully the younger with the big. That's probably what it means."

  After listening to the explanation, Liu Yifei pursed her lips in dissatisfaction:

   "It's the same as the truth. It's not sure who is bullying who."

"ha."

  Xu Xin chuckled and shook his head:

   "It doesn't matter. You have made people suffer from being dumb, and why don't you let others get it back?"

   “…so, we won, right?”

   Liu Yifei stared at his smile and asked directly.

"Well…"

  Xu Xin thought for a while and gave his own answer:

   "They lost, but we didn't win either."

  Looking at her puzzled look, Xu Xin continued:

"In the adult world, how can there be so many black and white, right and wrong wins and loses? They didn't get what they wanted, so they lost. The reason why we didn't win is because we knew that if we fight, we will lose." It's us. Don't underestimate the background of the Beijing circle. To divide them, one depends on time and the other depends on the era. And when you know that you are bound to lose, there is no chance of winning. Understand what I mean Is it?"

"…not understand well."

  She said honestly:

"But... for me, it feels like we won. Because of you, you... set the rules. They can't resist the rules that require them to operate in this circle. So... I think it's you Won."

   "It's... lol."

  Xu Xin laughed again.

I won?

maybe.

   It's just that I don't care.

"…what's on your mind?"

   Seeing that he didn't speak, but just smiled, Liu Yifei couldn't help asking again.

  At the same time, he glanced at Lin Xunxin, who was sleeping soundly on the massage chair over there.

  It's like a child who wants to chat with him during the break time.

   "Am I wrong?"

   "There is nothing right or wrong."

  Xu Xin smiled and shook his head.

   "Then why are you just smiling and not talking?...Okay, are you kidding me for being naive!...It's too much! You look like this!"

"No no."

  Xu Xin quickly denied it.

Then what…

  Sister Shenxian's nasal voice became heavier:

   "Then what do you mean! I always feel that you are laughing at me!"

"this…"

   Seeing that she didn't intend to let her go, Xu Xin knew that it would be impossible not to give some explanation.

   Then he said:

   "Do you still remember when you were in school, when you took the final exam, what was the sentence that the head teacher would always say to everyone?"

   "...do you take the exam well?"

  Xu Xin was speechless for a while, thinking that you are really humorous.

   Then shook his head and explained:

   "No, it's the sentence that you don't know how to do first, then do other questions first, and talk about it after finishing other questions."

"Well…"

  Liu Yifei thought for a while, then shook her head:

"I don't think the teacher said this... As you know, I went to the United States when I was 10 years old. At that time, I hadn't graduated from elementary school. Later, when I returned to China when I was 15 years old, my mother found someone to do it for me. Shadow. Our domestic exams... are too unfamiliar to me. But I can somewhat understand what you said, because I have heard similar things from the teacher over there... But what do you mean by these words?"

"The meaning is very simple. There is a saying in "Sun Tzu's Art of War": what the army does not attack, what the city does not attack, what the land does not fight, and the emperor's order is not accepted. And the great man also said: Don't worry about the gains and losses of a city or a pool .That's what I thought."

   Now, Liu Yifei fell silent.

  Her ancient Chinese...not particularly good.

   Actually, I can understand it, after all, she has never been influenced by classical Chinese since she was a child.

   But the sentence "Sun Tzu's Art of War" is not difficult to understand.

   And the phrase "one city, one pool" she also saw someone perform on TV.

  So I quickly understood what Xu Xin meant.

  Are you surprised?

Very surprised.

   Surprised by his maturity, the maturity and austerity that do not belong to young people.

   Apart from being surprised, there is endless curiosity.

  His excellence...she's used to it.

  But at this moment, he still wanted to ask a question that would make him appear ignorant.

   No other.

   Just love seeing this kind of Ayutthaya with sophistication.

  So she asked:

   "Then what is your goal?"

  Xu Xin smiled casually, leaned back on the chair, and pointed to the starless night sky outside the window.

  A round of bright moon, according to the past and present.

   A chuckle broke into my heart:

   "Of course it's the stars and the sea."

   He looked out the window and said so.

  Liu Yifei was speechless.

   Just watching his profile turned out of the window.

  She can see it.

  The galaxy in those eyes is as bright as a scorching sun.

  The galaxy is bright.

   In the reflection, there is obsession.

   Immediately, he suddenly looked back, and she was obsessed and disappeared.

   To cover with a crescent-like smile:

   "Very vulgar."

   "Haha~!"

   All right, who makes her a fairy sister.

   To be said to be vulgar by the gods, to a mortal...

  No shame.

  The morning of the 14th.

  Xu Xin wore a decent suit and came to Shijia Hutong.

  He came to be interviewed by Yang Lang.

   "Interview with Yang Lan" has a characteristic, that is, she is not limited to having a certain fixed venue, fixed audience or other crowd.

  The interview venues she is looking for are some environments that can make the guests feel... relaxed, comfortable and familiar.

  In such an environment, she hopes that the interview guests can reveal their hearts and answer their truest thoughts in accordance with the procedures she has arranged.

   After giving this request back to Xu Xin, Xu Xin thought about it... and felt that the most comfortable place was his own home.

   Originally it was said that the filming was done at the Dahu Mansion, but as soon as I told Yang Mi about this, Yang Mi told him to go back to Shijia Hutong. Because his study has been renovated.

  Xu Xin also became interested when he heard it.

   After all, this is the place where the brothers will gather in the future, and he also wants to see what it looks like.

  So I changed the location to here.

  The main building of the house has been completed, the only difference is some decorations and the landscaping outside.

  Some of these decorations have not yet been bought... For example, a Taihu stone that Xu Daqiang hopes to use as a "town house".

  The price doesn't matter, the important thing is that he wants one he likes.

  But it is not available in the market yet, so we can only wait slowly.

   And when he came to the house, he found that the furniture was covered with white cloth to prevent dust, and he couldn't see what the new home would look like, so he retreated and walked directly along a row of garden paths to his study.

   Then as soon as he entered the door, his face turned black...

  Because he saw a glass cabinet in the entrance.

  In the glass cabinet are the Cannes Golden Camera, a silver lion, Yang Mi's Golden Horse, the Golden Rooster trophy, and some awards including "Secret" and "The Wind"...

   are all placed inside.

  However, according to the actual area of ​​my study, it exceeds 180 square meters. According to his visual inspection, the size of the entrance wall is at least two meters.

  You just think about it.

  Don't talk about these trophies.

   Just add ten or twenty more, and the wall looks empty.

  Dad.

  Can you let me go?

  If I really want to fill up this wall, I have to take pictures in the Year of the Monkey?

  Looks like a story!

   This is for showing off!

   Isn't this a jerk!

  He was helpless, but nothing was done.

  The layout is set, and it is not today to want to dismantle it.

So, suppressing a sense of shame, he stepped on the polished wooden floor, on the bookshelves full of various books, the calligraphy table that was made of mahogany or lobular red sandalwood, and various "elegant and luxurious" Look around for tasteful furniture.

  Finally, a suitable area for interviews was selected.

  Two armchairs in the corner of the study.

Fine.

   Right here.

   There is no need to wait for the people from the program group to come.

  As a professional director, he knows how to find the light and where the lens layout is most suitable.

  Therefore, the heavy master chair that had not had time to cover the legs scratched several scratches on the wooden floor made of big-leaf red sandalwood under his feet.

   But fortunately, this wooden floor is not very expensive.

   One square meter is less than 80,000 yuan, so Xu Xin doesn't feel bad.

   Isn't it just money.

  If the old one does not go, the new one will not come.

  Moved the two grand master chairs to a suitable position, and set up a Bafang incense table between the two of them. On the incense table was an antique large porcelain jar that the old man spent for a photo...

  Xu Xin stood at the position he had reserved for the two cameras for a while, and looked at it with his thumbs and index fingers together to form a "mouth" character box. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he showed a satisfied expression.

  It's done.

   Came to the tea table next to him, he boiled water and made tea.

  After a pot of tea, the phone rang.

   "Hello?"

   "Hello, Director Xu, we are the program team of "Interview with Yang Lan". We have arrived at your door now. If we want to park, should we stop casually?"

   "Well, let me pick you up, there is a parking lot in this yard."

  As Xu Xin said, he quickly got up and put on his clothes and walked out.

   Soon came to the door, and saw three commercial vehicles.

   Seeing this, Xu Xin quickly took the remote control and pressed it against the iron door next to him.

  The iron door opened automatically, revealing a garage that could accommodate four cars at the same time.

  Three commercial vehicles filed in.

  After the car was ready, the door of the first car opened, and Yang Lan, who was also dressed in formal attire and seemed to exude intellectual beauty, got out of the car with a smile, and stretched out his hand to Xu Xin:

   "Director Xu, long time no see."

  Xu Xin greeted him with a smile:

   "Yes, Teacher Yang Lan, it's been a long time since we left Taimiao...It's cold here, let me show you the interview place first."

"sure."

  Yang Lan readily agreed.

   Walked into the yard with several other directors who got off the commercial vehicle.

  There is nothing to see in the current Shijia Hutong Garden, after all, it has not yet been completed.

   But the area has already made Yang Lang unable to help asking:

   "Director Xu, the area of ​​this yard is really not small."

   "Uh, yes."

  Xu Xin nodded:

   "The yard was originally this big, but my dad felt that the place was small, so he bought the houses of the two neighbors who didn't live in it, and expanded them later."

  Hearing this, several directors, including Yang Lan, were speechless.

  Brother, this is Shijia Alley...

  A place where every inch of land is expensive.

you…

  But after thinking about it carefully, they were relieved again.

  Director Xu...the rich second generation.

  Besides, you have been told...just looking at the layout of the house and garden, you can tell that Director Xu really has a lot of taste.

   And Xu Xin is also apologizing along the way, explaining to everyone that the renovation project of this house is not over yet, please don't mind and so on.

  He brought a few people to the study along the way.

  Yang Lan asked:

   "Change your shoes?"

   "No, just come in."

  Hearing this, Yang Lan didn't think much at first. After entering the room, he only felt that this Chinese style was very elegant.

  And...the floor was clean, like it had just been waxed, and she felt embarrassed to step on a shoe print.

   And at this moment, when her eyes moved from the glass wall to the corner of the room, she suddenly saw a very familiar package.

   "Big sandalwood - wooden floor"

  She froze for a moment.

   subconsciously lowered his head...

  Looking at the wooden floor exuding a kind of... calm color under his feet, he asked Xu Xin unconsciously:

   "Director Xu, your wooden floor... is made of big sandalwood?"

   "Uh...it seems to be, I don't know too well, what's wrong?"

  Xu Xin looked puzzled.

  Yang Lan was speechless, but just shook his head, eyes full of absurdity.

she…

   Get to know the brand.

   This is a domestic brand specializing in high-end solid wood furniture.

   And the reason for knowing it is also very simple.

  Her home was just renovated last year.

  There is such a small quiet room at home, which she specially decorated according to her own preferences.

  The furniture of Datan is used.

  A complete set, from the desk to the floor.

  Not to mention other furniture, the material of this wooden floor is the big-leaf red sandalwood floor which is the signature of Dayan.

  The cost is 95,000 flat.

  Her quiet room is six square meters.

  The cost of the wooden floor alone, including the labor cost, is close to 600,000.

   She felt that she was already extravagant. It's just a quiet room, and the decoration costs so much.

  But... at this moment, right in front of my eyes...

  She observed the house, which was less than a hundred square meters, and looked at the wooden floor with seamless patterns under her feet...

   Rao is well-informed, so she doesn't know what to say at this moment.

   OK... OK.

   Really works.

   Thirteen thousand! ! Brother cute! I, Hu Hansan, are back!
