I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 240 238 Smoke stained with lip gloss

Chapter 240 238. Smoke stained with lip gloss

"Audition?"

Xu Xin seemed a little interested.

"Yes, audition, let's not think about anything else for now. I also like these rooms carefully designed by Director Xu... So, we are not hungry anyway, let's give it a try?"

She smiled like a flower.

But it sounded like a low roar in Xu Xin's ears.

Apparently, the temptation has passed.

It’s time for warnings and threats.

Therefore, Xu Xin cannot retreat from this step.

If he says no, it will prove from the side that he has no real power in this movie.

Whether it's true or false, don't care.

But Liang Bingning was able to form an all-round fight against him through other aspects.

Because the words "suitable for Li Ningyu" were said by him himself.

To back off at this point would appear to be a bit of a bravado.

So, he nodded:

"Okay, then come over here."

He finally stepped into the fourth wall and guided her towards the room where Li Ningyu and Gu Xiaomeng had not yet completed the scenery.

"You sit here."

Pointing to the imperial concubine chair full of Republican style.

"Li Ningyu is sitting here smoking in a daze. She is missing her boyfriend Liu Linzong. She doesn't care about who the so-called mole is. At this time, someone knocks on the door, interrupting your thoughts. They ask you to go with them. Once, I had to take you to the torture chamber. You were scared, helpless, and desperately hoped that Liu Linzong would appear by your side to protect you. ... Just such a scene, 5 minutes?"

Liang Binning said nothing.

I just wrote down a few points of this scene and nodded.

Xu Xin also stood outside the set room and started counting his watch.

Time passed by minute by minute.

5 minutes later.

"I need a pack of cigarettes."

"Well……"

Hearing this, Xu Xin looked around and nodded.

In the pile of debris next to it, there was a half bottle of mineral water left by someone who didn't know who drank it.

After he took it, he poured some into the ashtray.

Be careful about fire.

Then he handed over the China in his pocket and the lighter.

Liang Binning took out one and broke the orange cigarette holder in front of him.

Xu Xin was a little surprised.

But he immediately smiled and nodded:

"Be particular about it."

At that time, filters had not yet appeared.

Although it is an audition, although it is a battle.

But Xu Xin still praised him for his attitude towards details.

Liang Binning said nothing.

Xu Xin also withdrew again.

He retreated outside the fourth wall, not disturbing her, and waited quietly for the performance.

The so-called "fourth wall" is a stage play parlance.

There are three walls to the left, right and back of the stage performance.

The fourth wall is the invisible wall facing the audience.

The stage is the stage and the audience is the audience.

The audience can only see but not touch.

After he exited, Liang Binning took a deep breath.

After waiting for about 30 seconds, she lit the cigarette.

Xu Xin knew when he saw her actions of lighting up and holding a cigarette...

An old smoker.

The posture is so natural.

Either I smoked it, or I imitated it deliberately.

Then, she chose to lean on the armrest of the chaise longue, naturally put the hand holding the cigarette on the armrest, and crossed her legs.

She took a strong drag on the cigarette and blew out a long cloud of smoke.

Then, when the smoke dissipated, his eyes were empty.

Staring at the table with empty eyes.

But his eyes were not dull, but always moving.

It gives the impression that her attention is focused on the table.

Observing.

But the problem is that there is nothing on the table except the ashtray.

But through the movement and shaking of her eyes, she revealed a sense of déjà vu as if there was something on it... or a picture.

Nothing.

But he sees it as something.

Following this, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her eyebrows softened.

A sweet feeling began to brew.

But she began to stop blinking.

People cannot help but blink.

This is because the tear film is evenly distributed in the cornea and conjunctival tissue by blinking, keeping the cornea and conjunctiva moist, preventing dryness of the eyeball, and at the same time bringing nutrients to the ocular surface.

If you don't blink, your eyeballs will feel dry within a few seconds.

Finally, the dryness turns into a painful sensation, reminding the brain that "it's time to blink."

But if the pain persists without blinking, red bloodshot eyes will begin to appear.

That sweetness is just brewing.

It was quickly replaced by the reddish color of his eyes.

At this moment, her empty eyes began to focus.

It seems that he has returned from fantasy to reality.

After returning to reality, she took another drag on her cigarette.

The smoke from this cigarette represents melancholy.

"call……"

Compared with the previous group, this time it was a straight long chain.

At this time, the sound of Xu Xin's tapping on the wooden beams sounded just right.

"Dong dong dong."

"!"

Liang Binning's eyes quickly looked in the direction of the door.

It was as if the sound was coming from here.

"……who?"

"Go to the interrogation room."

Xu Xin spoke.

Her body began to tremble.

Start looking around.

Finally, his eyes suddenly locked on Xu Xin, with a look of begging on his face.

As if hoping that he would protect her.

"...OK."

Xu Xin nodded.

The play is finally over.

Hearing this, Liang Binning blinked quickly.

Apparently sore eyes.

But the cigarette was not thrown into the ashtray, but the ashes were flicked skillfully.

Obviously wanting to smoke it all.

Xu Xin said nothing and paid no attention.

Instead, start criticizing in your mind.

The first half is fine.

There's nothing wrong with the change in his eyes and his empty state.

The problem lies behind.

The emotions behind it were so full.

Xu Xin thought about it according to his own understanding... If it was during filming, he would hope that Liang Binning would not express such fear with his whole body shaking.

He will hope that the other party will focus on the cigarette that brings two changes of mood to the audience.

The first puff of smoke represents an empty look.

The second long puff of smoke indicated her melancholy breathing.

And the third time, he hoped to see her just making the straight smoke of this cigarette tremble and become disordered, with a weak expression on her face to express this emotion, and finally find the "illusive" Liu Linzong, don't use the words of begging. Eyes.

Because she has a clear conscience.

Therefore, it should be reflected in a sense of... missing and being protected.

The second half of the play appears here.

But luckily something went wrong.

If nothing goes wrong, he plans to change the heroine in this play.

After all, if there was nothing wrong with her at all, Yang Mi would be the kind of person who wasn't even worthy of carrying her shoes.

The two sides are not of the same magnitude at all.

And now...

Recalling my girlfriend’s drama this month...

Comparing it with what is in front of me...

Um.

Half a catty.

Definitely can fight.

It’s not like you can’t even catch up with a horse.

Then he would have peace of mind.

And that was the purpose of what he said.

I saw it, I have a bottom.

then……

"It's great. Although there are still some shortcomings, the emotion in the first half is enough. I need to adjust in the second half."

"For example?"

Liang Binning threw the cigarette into the ashtray.

After Xu Xin recounted what was going on in his head, Liang Binning grabbed the cigarette case again:

"Then I'll do it again..."

"Haha, that's not necessary. It's already very good. This is not a real show, it's just an audition."

Hearing this, Liang Binning nodded:

"Is that so...well, this chair is quite comfortable to sit on. Director Xu, let's sit and chat."

She pointed to the orange single sofa next to the chaise longue.

Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, then nodded:

"good."

Liang Binning was sitting next to the handle of the chaise longue, and Xu Xin was sitting on the single sofa. The two of them met at this right angle.

"Have all the other actors been selected for Director Xu's play?"

"not yet."

Xu Xin started to tell lies with his eyes open:

"I still have to watch it. But after watching Sister Bingbing's play, I feel that Li Ningyu is simply made for you."

"Oh, I also want to cooperate with Director Xu~"

Seeing that Xu Xin was about to start playing tricks on her again, she began to retreat in order to advance.

Xu Xin, however, smiled and changed the topic:

"Sister Bingbing is here just for a visit this time?"

He watched the fire from the other side.

"What do you think, Director Xu?"

She offered advice.

"How did I know... Sister Bingbing has been in close contact with Mr. Qi recently?"

He surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao.

"That's because my idol ignored me. He called for a meal but didn't come for coffee. He came for tea, but he went to class in less than half an hour. He called for a drink but didn't come. …”

She waits for work.

"I'm really in class. Sister Bingbing, do you want to check my attendance record?"

He is mainly a guest.

"Of course I believe in Director Xu, but I'm really sad to be rejected by Director Xu over and over again. You are my idol."

She is cruel and cruel.

"I can't help it. I've been really busy lately. I have to take classes and prepare a movie at the same time. No, these are all the results of my recent work. These sets are not just dreamed up out of thin air. They were all finalized after a long period of communication."

He Li Daitao is stiff.

"It's true... Director Xu has been working hard lately, right? You look a little haggard."

She makes noises in the east and west.

"Fortunately, as long as we live up to the great trust given by the factory. Is Mr. Qi looking for any cooperation with Sister Bingbing this time?"

He borrowed a knife to kill someone.

"..."

Liang Binning finally fell silent for a moment.

Then he said:

"Director Xu, what else do I need to say to express the fact that I really "like you"?"

"..."

Honey trap? Secretly hiding Chencang?

Tune the tiger away from the mountain? Pulling fire under the cauldron?

His mind began to think of endless possibilities.

But Liang Binning sighed:

"Sigh... Why is it so difficult to cooperate with Director Xu?"

Xu Xinxin said, then you should ask me how I can join Xiying Studio.

You're not giving up yet, are you planning to give it a try?

After thinking about it, he decided to escape:

"There is no way. The factory requires internal digestion."

After saying this, he added another sentence:

"Mr. Tian was also asking me about this and the candidates just now. Sister Jiang can't participate, and the others can only choose from the actor group. I have been given all the information, but I haven't rushed to take a look yet."

Hearing this, Liang Binning's eyes suddenly flashed with light.

That's a killing move that seals the throat with blood:

"But why did I hear from the leaders who came this afternoon that the factory respected Director Xu's casting opinions? I also asked, and they said it was not so absolute."

If Xu Xin had never met Tian Shuanghe, he might have been put off by these words.

But after hearing this, he understood what Tian Shuanghe meant when he said, "Everyone will cooperate with you."

So he smiled.

He smiled and threw his ultimate move.

"That's because they can't communicate directly with Mr. Tian. In the afternoon, Mr. Tian told me personally that we should make careful selections internally and not be fooled. Otherwise, does Sister Bingbing think I'm joking with you? I thought you were suitable before. , and after watching your play, I think you are more suitable. This role is almost as if it was set for you... Sigh."

A long sigh.

CHECK MATE.

General.

baby.

This plan is called: capture the thief first and capture the king first.

Now, it's your turn.

"..."

Sure enough, when Xu Xin said this, she fell silent.

The initiative is lost.

When a beast is pressed down, its belly and throat exposed...

"well……"

Even if you don't want to.

But after these exchanges, she knew that her plan to be more proactive was aborted.

but……

It doesn't matter.

Already got what I wanted.

lose……?

No, I just won less.

So, she blinked:

"That's it..."

She completed the mentality change in one sentence and said with a smile:

"In other words, if I want to be in my idol's film, I have to join Xiying Film Studio?"

After saying this, she was thinking about what attitude the other party would use to continue to tease her.

The victor's condescension?

Still arrogant?

Or is it a statement like a declaration?

It should be all three.

After all...from beginning to end, doesn't everyone really want my attitude?

Now, the attitude is given.

Enjoy your victory, handsome boy.

This is what you deserve.

But……

"Um?"

She suddenly heard a question.

Then he saw a pair of eyes full of doubts and... excitement.

"What did Sister Bingbing just say?"

Ah……

Liang Binning, who had already made the decision not to look back, chuckled in her heart.

Not satisfied?

Want to feel a double sense of accomplishment and joy?

Man...

"I said……"

"Snapped!"

Xu Xin patted his thigh:

"Yes! Yes! Isn't that all it takes? Why didn't I think of that! As long as Sister Bingbing comes here, won't everything fall into place?"

"...?"

Liang Bingning was stunned.

what's the situation?

Looking at Xu Xin, whose eyes were shining with excitement, she was stunned.

Why did you do it? It seems like you just thought of this result.

What's the meaning?

Could it be...you really don't know?

In our communication during this period, is everything you said true?

You really can't guess what I mean?

Now that you've guessed it, what are you so excited about?

Just like you didn't guess...

Just thinking about it.

She suddenly heard another sentence:

"But... doesn't this seem too aggrieved to Sister Bingbing? Sister Bingbing is so popular, coming to our place... is not condescending?"

What nonsense are you talking about?

You are the West Film Studio.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse... huh?

She suddenly reacted.

Are you setting yourself up for failure?

Otherwise, even an individual wouldn’t think he could ride on the head of an established film studio, right?

What's more, it is the film studio with the most awards and the widest reputation.

Outsiders might not be able to see through it...but you and Qi Lei are so close that you're almost wearing a pair of pants, and you still say that?

You are either really stupid.

Either...

Is it the humility and grace of a winner?

After thinking about it, she smiled and said:

"I told you, you are my idol. What's more, this word can't be used on me, it's too big. Let's just... How did Director Xu say that word? Running in both directions? Yes, yes, yes , it should be this. But I don’t know what the factory’s attitude is.”

"Haha~"

Xu Xin smiled even happier:

"Yes, yes, that's right, running in both directions. As for the factory... I think they must be very welcoming. But..."

"……but?"

"But sister Bingbing, don't worry. If we can reach a cooperation, everyone will definitely welcome it. I will ask the factory in the next few days to see how to handle this matter, how about it?"

"..."

Liang Binning knew that she had thought wrong again.

The demeanor of a humble person or something.

nonexistent.

He just wants to know where his sincerity lies.

Is it just a name, a qualification, or... a deeper cooperation?

And it depends on your attitude, right?

Tsk…

In the second game, I also lost.

In fact, there are two answers here.

One is, "Idol, you are too polite and praise me too highly. I just want to cooperate with you." And the other is what she wants to say now:

"My idol has said so, what else can I say? Then please ask our dear Director Xu to say a few nice words for me? Okay?"

One is to "cooperate in one name at a time."

And the words he said were, "Whatever position you give me, I will contribute as much as I can."

The difference between the two is quite big.

One is affiliated qualification, and the other is becoming a subsidiary.

If it were before, she would definitely choose to be affiliated.

But now...she suddenly doesn't want to do this anymore.

This time, she chose to trust her instincts.

Xiying Studio...

No, this little man in front of me.

Maybe the value you see is just the tip of the iceberg.

A person with this kind of brain must not be an ordinary person who can see through it at a glance.

Anyway, we have won.

To protect your capital and not lose, do you want to take another gamble?

After thinking about it, she chose to gamble.

Bet that the person in front of you has greater value... waiting for you.

Let’s have a true win-win situation!

And sure enough, as he finished speaking, Xu Xin smiled and nodded:

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me. Since Sister Bingbing has chosen to trust me so much, I will definitely not let you down."

Hearing this, Liang Binning smiled and stretched out her hand:

"Idol, please give me some advice from now on."

The tone is cute and playful.

But his eyes were sparkling.

Xu Xin smiled and held it.

After still touching the fingers, they separated.

Still such a gentleman.

But this time... for some reason, after feeling this kind of restraint again, Liang Binning suddenly became unconvinced.

They say the people who admire you most are often your enemies.

Recalling the "fighting" during this period...

Vaguely, a question appeared in her mind.

At this time, he can still maintain such restrained rationality and calmness, and come up with such a series of tricks.

Still able to maintain this calm gentlemanly demeanor.

Are you really that rational?

Why don't I believe it so much?

He is a smart man.

A good opponent.

Still a...handsome guy.

Humorous, funny, gentlemanly, humble.

Even consecutive victories haven’t gone to your head?

A restlessness suddenly arose in her heart.

Xu Xin was in a good mood and said:

"Then I will tell the factory that no one else will be considered for the role of Li Ningyu, but Sister Bingbing."

With that said, he was going to grab the cigarette case and planned to talk about "Li Ningyu".

But who knew that Liang Binning's hands were faster than his.

"Let me do it."

After picking up the cigarette case, he took out a cigarette and put it to his lips.

The lighter is lit.

The cigarette with some lip gloss on it was handed over.

"..."

Xu Xin subconsciously moved his eyes from the cigarette holder to her face.

Saw her eyes.

Those eyes seemed to say:

"Smoke, if you smoke this cigarette, we will have the next story."

An empty studio and a slightly ambiguously decorated set room.

Glossy lip gloss remains.

Those peach-like eyes seemed to be given a different meaning at this moment.

An ambiguous atmosphere began to echo around the two of them.

But for Xu Xin...

What's the next story?

Xu Xin couldn't guess.

I don’t want to guess either.

Even less important.

After a pause, he just looked at her with a still sober and gentle look:

"This is not an audition. What I mean is to take the cigarette and leave. Let's go out and smoke. Fireworks are prohibited here."

"..."

The two fingers with pink nails that handed over the cigarette trembled.

Liang Binning was about to say something, but the cigarette had already been taken away and thrown into the ashtray.

There was a "呲" sound.

Xu Xin stood up:

"Sister Bingbing, let's go have dinner?"

Liang Binning looked up.

Look at those condescending eyes.

A smile appeared on his face:

"Yeah. Okay~ Then I'll let the idol make the arrangements?"

With that said, she also stood up.

Xu Xin helped her go to the next door to get her bag, and the sound of footsteps echoed:

"Isn't President Mu here?"

"emmmm...you don't have to be here."

"Ha, don't say goodbye. Let's shout together."

"I'm just kidding."

"Yeah, I know. Come on, please."

"Idol……"

Liang Binning suddenly nodded:

"It's so kind of you."

Xu Xin smiled slightly, raised his hand to help her take the bag, and said:

"It's my honor to help a lady carry her bag."

"Ha~!"

…

"Hello, brother?"

"Um……"

"Huh?"

Yang Mi on the other side of the phone was stunned for a moment and asked:

"Have you been drinking?"

"...Have you heard this too?"

In the hotel, Xu Xin asked in surprise while leaning on the bed, half asleep.

"How fresh, you can tell it right away. Who did you drink with? The leader?"

"No, Liang Binning."

"..."

After Yang Mi was silent for a while, the sound started again:

"How did she get there?"

"Mr. Tian called..."

Xu Xin repeated what happened this afternoon.

But I didn’t mention the cigarette when I finally left the studio.

No need.

Saying this kind of thing seems like a "confession", but in fact, it is just a brick full of problems.

Once it is filled in that wall called "trust", it cannot be seen on the surface.

But as time goes by, when there are too many bricks in these problems, they will become riddled with holes.

Obviously the people living inside are clean.

But whether it was a knife turned into a knife by the rumors outside, or an evil wind blowing from nowhere.

Being hit like this will turn into festering wounds.

It will never heal again.

Therefore, it does not mean that being 100% honest will make everything okay.

Some things are better left unsaid.

The less trouble, the better.

Although not absolutely, at least that's what he thinks.

After finishing everything, Yang Mi asked directly:

"How is her acting skills?"

"If she could do what I said and do everything to perfection, then I would never let her in this film even to death. But after watching it, I feel confident in my heart. Do you know the reason?"

Hearing this, Yang Mi felt sweet:

"I know, because I have you and she doesn't."

"You're so good, give me a kiss~"

"MUA~Booboobooboobooboo..."

A series of kissing sounds sounded, and Xu Xin laughed.

"Okay, let's just say that, I'm going to bed... By the way, what do you want to eat? Can I bring it back to you?"

"Lao Sun's steamed buns!"

"Hey~~~"

Xu Xin felt disgusted:

"We ate at his restaurant in the evening. It was too businesslike and tasted terrible. Let's change~"

"Forget it. Then I die?"

"Well, I went to sleep too."
