I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 391 389 Cross-era heroine

Chapter 391 389. Cross-era heroine

"Where are you now?"

"I just arrived in Yanjing. Didn't I just hear this from my baby?"

"Oh~ What about tomorrow? Make an appointment with Lao Chen and the others to play two rounds?"

"Call Lao Chen Haowa, I'm a money-spreading boy. I just need to change my car, so I can use his money to give it to myself as a gift."

"Haha~ OK, then tomorrow."

"Okay, tomorrow."

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

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

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

He said nothing, and neither did Xu Xin.

Only Liang Binning was a little uneasy.

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

"Hiss... Pfft. What's going on? It'll be better if you don't keep in touch with me about things over there from now on."

This is the answer Xu Daqiang gave after careful consideration.

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

"It is necessary to have less contact... Yang Mi and I were talking on the way back that we would not go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. She suddenly came over to get to know each other at the Golden Horse Awards. She should have been careful. But... even if she didn't By making this call, she won't be able to make any alliance."

The second half of the words were meant for Liang Binning:

"There are some things that are not suitable to be done, but that are not suitable for doing. Normally, everyone spreads out and gathers together, so no matter how small a spark is, there is no way to start a prairie fire. But if we really get together and the commotion becomes louder, Naturally, people will pay attention..."

"..."

In Liang Binning's silence, Xu Xin shook his head slightly:

"There is an industry first, and then there are practitioners. And industry standards can only be determined from the industry. Practitioners...can't decide."

…

Liang Binning left.

After all, it was a bit late and it was time to rest.

Not much was said.

No need to say anything more.

After getting in the car, she just asked Yang Tianzhen who was driving:

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

Yang Tianzhen thought for a while and replied:

"In Chongqing."

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

"OK."

After Xu Xin left, Xu Daqiang asked:

"What is she going to do?"

"...I want to keep climbing up."

Xu Xin sighed:

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

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

Xu Daqiang was speechless:

"Some people need one generation or two to climb up. How can one reach the sky in one step?"

This is actually quite rare to hear from an old man.

Usually, the old man can only say:

"Oh, then climb. If you can succeed, succeed. If you can't succeed, you have to choose your own path."

But now that he heard these words that meant "hating iron but not steel"... Xu Xin didn't have any other ideas.

It's just more EMO.

There are some words that I can't ask out loud as I turn over and over in my stomach.

In the end...he didn't ask anything.

The old man was also sleepy and chose to go back to the house to sleep.

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

"How's it going? How's it going?"

"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, aren't you talking nonsense?... I really don't have the face to see her... Well, that's not right. It's not that I'm shameless, but I don't know how to face it... Eh? That's not right either. That's what it means anyway, you know. That's it. …feeling uncomfortable…”

Yang Mi said while pointing to the door.

It means locking the door.

Whisper behind closed doors.

Xu Xin explained what he had just called.

After hearing this, Yang Mi frowned and asked:

"Do you think... is there a possibility that her love has changed?"

"...Change of love? With that foreigner?"

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

"so?"

"In addition to what Aunt Zhao said about not being honest in doing things... eh?"

As if she had thought of something, the fire of gossip in her eyes began to burn brightly:

"Do you think it's possible that... Zhang Ziyi fell in love with someone else... and that's why she was afraid of marriage or something like that?"

"Then?"

"...It's gone."

"That's it?"

Xu Xin was speechless:

"I thought you could analyze something else, like who gave her the courage to do this..."

Yang Mi rolled her eyes:

"Why do I want that? I'm gossiping with you, not trying to outwit you."

"..."

Xu Xin was speechless.

He shook his head and walked to the bathroom.

I quickly took a shower and went to bed.

this day……

Not enough trouble.

…

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

"Hey~~Isn't this our Asian King Jay Chou? What kind of wind is blowing you here?"

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

"?"

Jay Chou looked at him strangely and said:

"It's noon, why are you having a fit?"

Hearing this, Xu Xin stretched out his hand:

"Bring it here."

"..."

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

"Give."

"Hmm~~~~"

Xu Xin played a long tone, looked at the white CD carefully, and nodded slightly:

"You know what's going on, come in."

"Ha~"

After not seeing each other for ten days and a half, Jay Chou couldn't help laughing when he saw his bad behavior.

He touched the two dogs that were wagging their tails at him and 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 herself in the living room, he asked:

"Where's the baby?"

"He's 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 disc in, and tuned to the TV channel.

The picture was dark, but there were bursts of chiming sounds from the speakers that felt like electric microphones.

Then comes a rush of drums and guitar.

Then……

"Zhongjili gulu bala bala hum hum ha hey oooooooooo..."

"Ouch, ouch, ouch~"

"You can't speak Bilibili Didi..."

"I have transcended time Makabaka..."

After listening to the chorus and the song entered the piano accompaniment, Yang Mi and Xu Xin stared with big eyes...

"What the hell is this?"

he asked.

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

"I just heard something like "Ouch, Ouch, Ouch..." "You can't express it in words"... That's all I understood. Then there was the "something that transcends eras"... I didn't understand the other lyrics at all."

Xu Xin nodded:

"What about the next song?"

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

As soon as she finished speaking, Jay Chou walked out with a speechless expression:

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

"It's your style."

Xu Xin nodded:

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

"..."

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

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

"This song is okay... Cut the song."

[The prosperous sound escapes into the empty door...]

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

[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~ are you okay~...】

"This song is okay...but it's not very attractive. Cut the song."

【It rained all night~~~】

"This song is nice to listen to. It has the artistic conception and is comfortable to listen to... Listen to half of the song first and then switch to another song."

[The landing gear leaves the ground...]

"Cut it."

"Hey! You haven't even finished listening to it yet. Why don't you cut the song at the first line of the lyrics!?"

"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 won’t cry~……】

"Hey, that's right. I still like you to sing this kind of lyrical song. It's nice. This one is nice! Cut the song and listen carefully later."

【Flying for love ~ breaking away ~ the passion of gravity...】

"This song is the song that your fans discovered and named the star after you, right?...Tsk tsk, my wheel is so caring. You are such a doting fan~ Give my wheel a call!"

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

"Oh, you two talk so much nonsense, Tsk!"

[There is no rain, but the wipers still keep moving left and right! 】

"This sounds great! Wow, this is top-notch, it feels great! ... What song is this?"

"No. 10."

"It's gone?"

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

"Superman can't fly, so why call him Superman? What a stupid name..."

"..."

"Quick, listen and see."

[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...

"Go back and choose the third song, the Tianchaofeng song. 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 escapes into the empty door and is disturbed... the world."...

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

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

"Contestant, the album you have been working on for two years...is this it?"

"...???"

Jay Chou was speechless at first.

But after looking at the serious expressions of the couple, I felt relieved immediately.

He smiled and shook his head:

"Seeing your reactions, I can probably guess how the fans will react after the release."

Xu Xin frowned slightly:

"What do you mean? You're not satisfied either?"

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

"???"

"????"

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

"Yeah, isn't it obvious..."

"Then you go back and listen again."

Hearing this, Xu Xin adjusted it again.

Then after listening to a song, Yang Mi continued to look at him eagerly:

"What's wrong?"

"...Wow, you really are."

Jay Chou shook his head helplessly:

"Your musical talent is really zero. In two aspects..."

He raised two fingers:

"On the one hand, the most syllables in this song are "XI", which is 7. But the traditional Chinese style music is Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu, which is 12356. Therefore, it is not a style in the traditional sense, but As laymen to music, you two only need to listen to it once to conclude that this is a song by Tianchaofeng."

"Well……"

"..."

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

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

But that feeling is quite vague.

The meaning he conveyed was actually quite limited.

For example, in a certain clip, he would say to the person who composed the soundtrack, "I want a grander piece of music for this piece," and then switch to another clip: "I want a lighter piece of music here"...

His soundtrack mainly relies on this kind of delivery.

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

If it feels right, continue to modify it. If it feels wrong, discuss it and do it again.

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

So I don't really understand what Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu is, or the power of "7".

Then Jay Chou raised his second finger:

"Second point, I didn't use any musical instruments related to our country in this song. It used piano, guitar, organ, clarinet... all Western instruments. But, I chose to create a Chinese style. "

"Well……"

The so-called expert will know whether there is something or not as soon as he takes action.

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

Not to mention... After listening to it, he seemed to have indeed not found any Chinese musical instruments.

"Amazing……"

Hearing Xu Xin's praise, Jay Chou said:

"嘁~"

That look is so arrogant and arrogant.

Leaning against the doorframe, he continued:

"That's why I'm telling you, this is my most satisfying album. Because without the shackles of other companies, I can make the music I like... In this album, I played BLUES and Western style. , I played a lot of things that the company didn’t allow me to play before. I’m very happy...and don’t worry. This album may not be very popular, but in three, five, or even ten years, you’ll hear it You won’t be out of date even when you get up! Believe it or not!”

"You'll die quickly if you're too far ahead, brother."

Xu Xin was speechless when he saw that he also wanted to engage in the "one version ahead" model.

But Jay Chou waved his hand:

"Okay, there are some differences between music and movies...at least for me. So don't worry."

"……Fine."

After he said these words, Xu Xin shrugged and then asked:

"Which album is this?"

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

Looking at Xu Xin who suddenly became malicious, Jay Chou began to sweat from behind.

Xu Xin smiled evilly, ejected the disc from the DVD player, and picked up the marker next to it:

"Come on, sign."

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

"Hurry up, don't you want to eat something delicious for lunch?"

After hearing this, Jay Chou, who had already given all his DEMOs from the first "JAY" to the present to his friends, stopped struggling.

He signed his name and wrote a line:

""Cross Era", Number: NO.1"

After signing, he did not forget to say:

"Put it away, don't tell me it's worth 100,000 yuan in the future~"

"One hundred thousand yuan?... What's in it? Damn it, why are you letting our guest stand? Quick, give up your seat. Serve tea!"

Apart from Jewell, the first person in the world who heard this album called "Cross Era" showed a very snobbish face.

Yang Mi also nodded in an awkward manner and hurried to get ready.

After holding a cup of tea in his hand and bringing it to him, Jay Chou rubbed the dog's head at his feet and said:

"Hey, can you recommend me a character in "Pandaren"? I want a heroine who looks innocent, and a supporting character who looks a bit like a girl next door."

Hearing this, Yang Mi was stunned:

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

"..."

Jay Chou's mouth twitched...

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

"Although the character Jiang Xiaoyu is based on her... we didn't break up~"

"Come on, come on, at the dance two days ago, didn't you rekindle your old relationship with her and leave the party midway?"

Yang Mi began to expose his background.

Jay Chou was speechless:

"What does it mean to rekindle an old relationship? We just met and had a chat... After all, "Pandaren" is about to open. But..."

"They didn't agree?"

Xu Xin hit the nail on the head.

Jay Chou nodded:

"Well, I promised before that we would still be friends after the breakup~"

"Hey~"

“Eh~~~~~”

Upon hearing this, the two of them showed disgusted expressions at the same time.

"Bah, you are so vulgar..."

"Hey, A Xin, that's too much!"

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

And Yang Mi asked:

"So? They didn't agree?"

"……Um."

After a moment of silence, Jay Chou nodded:

"She still hasn't let go...so I don't want to think about it. Are 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 auditions as soon as possible."

"Yes, of course! Oh, hubby, how can we let Mr. Jay Chou drink last year's old tea? Come on, serve good tea and brew this year's newly harvested Yuqian Longjing tea for our king, Jay Chou."

"okay."

At Xu Xin's response, Jay Chou's mouth twitched.

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

"Hey, you two... why don't you be so realistic! This soup is all muddy! I just realized it!"

"You know nothing. Your tea is Maojian. It has just been brewed. Isn't the color of the soup turbid? How can you really be fooled by ordinary tea leaves?"

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

But Yang Mi stood up:

"You wait."

Soon, she walked out of the study and took out several artistic photos.

"Here, all the beauties from both sides!"

"..."

Call it crazy...she knows how to keep good things for her own people.

But you say she is normal...

It was outrageous for those words to come out of her mouth.

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

"Didn't she have plastic surgery? No, I want something natural and beautiful."

After saying that, he moved her photo away and saw Zhao Liying.

"Oh? This photo of Baozi is okay... But she is not what I imagined Jiang Xiaoyu to look like. I want to find someone who is the opposite type to Jesse (Jiang Yuchen)... let Baozi play Li Liya, okay?"

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

Xu Xin rolled his eyes again.

Jay Chou also shook his head helplessly:

"I'm talking about the audition!"

"Stop doing this, Li Liya! You're going to die! Just her!"

"...Tsk."

He also put aside the artistic photo of Baozi.

Then I saw the third photo...

"Hmm... Zhang Jiao looks so cold in this photo, that's not good. I want something more pure. She doesn't have that kind of temperament."

"You can put on makeup."

"..."

Even Xu Xin couldn't stand hearing these words:

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

"Tsk..."

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

And the photo of Zhang Jiao is also the last one.

Jay Chou scratched his head:

"No Liu Yifei?"

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

"Wow, Mimi, have you started reading books about the quantum realm?"

"Haha, look~"

Yang Mi was a little proud, but joking aside, she still pointed at Xu Xin:

"Mainly because he is still considering who will star in "The Hawthorn Tree", so I have to keep Liu Yifei's schedule. What's more, she doesn't want to take on a TV series at the moment... I recommend Shishi to you, what do you think?"

Suddenly, Yang Mi changed the subject:

"If you want to find someone like Liu Yifei...can Shishi do it?"

"Just...that girl in blue in the TV series?"

"Yes. How is she?"

"Well……"

Jay Chou thought for a while and said:

"Do you have any photos? I want a modern photo."

"Wait."

Yang Mi directly picked up the phone.

Xu Xin asked:

"Preparations for "Pandaren" are over?"

"That's almost it. All we need is the actors. I just came here these days to prepare for the audition. After the peak night, we will do a round of selection and that's about it."

While talking, Yang Mi had already dialed Liu Zhishi’s phone number:

"Hey, where are you?...Is that so...Do you have an electronic version of your artistic photos?...Send them to me, now...Oh, don't ask first, just send them to me...Okay, hurry up... Well, I’m hung up.”

After hanging up the phone, she stood up again:

"I'll print it."

"good."

Jay Chou didn't refuse, but after Yang Mi left, he suddenly said to Xu Xin coldly:

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

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched...

For a moment, he shook his head slightly:

"It seems there is a traitor among us!"

"...can you still go?"

"I'm celebrating your birthday, why can't I go?"

Xu Xin said it loud and clear.
