MTL - I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad-Chapter 492 490. That Absurd Word Problem

  Chapter 492 490. That ridiculous word problem

  Thinking about it, it was resolved, and Xu Xin once again left it behind.

  The two are drinking tea and chatting, they are husband and wife, but the atmosphere at this moment is more like friends.

  In that sometimes relaxed, sometimes sweet atmosphere, Sun Ting pushed open the door untimely:

   "Brother Xu, sister, Director Zheng is here."

"ah?"

  Yang Mi was a little surprised:

"So early?"

   "Yes, we have arrived in the room."

   Seeing this, the two of them didn't dawdle, and went directly to the reserved box.

   Today is a business banquet, and there are quite a few people here, so Xu Xin specially asked for a row box.

   It means the partition door in the middle can be opened.

  The two of them ran all the way to the largest box, and saw Zheng Xiaolong wearing a baseball cap, who was standing in front of a splash-ink landscape painting and turned his head away.

   "Director Zheng."

  Yang Mi smiled:

   "You came too early, we both said you can't come until at least 6 o'clock. It's just after 5 o'clock..."

   "I'm afraid of being stuck in traffic for a while."

   Zheng Xiaolong explained with a smile:

   "And no matter where I go, I come early. I don't like to let people wait for me, and I've gotten used to it over the years."

   While he was speaking, Xu Xin stepped forward:

   "Director Zheng, hello, I'm Xu Xin, you can call me Xiao Xu."

   "Haha~ I have to call Director Xu."

   Zheng Xiaolong smiled and held hands with him:

   "It's too casual to call Xiao Xu."

   "You are too kind."

  The two let go, Xu Xin took out the cigarettes in his pocket and began to give way.

  He didn't think about whether the other party deliberately kept a distance, or whether they really respected each other as directors.

   There is no need to delve into it.

  After the cigarette was lit, Yang Mi pointed to the sofas next to her:

   "Director Zheng, sit down quickly...what's inside, Tingting, go make a pot of tea first."

   As the three of them found their positions, Zheng Xiaolong asked curiously:

   "Director Xu's "The Hawthorn Tree" is finished?"

   "Yes, it's been half a month since filming. Now I'm editing~"

   "When is it going to be released?"

"this…"

  Xu Xin shook his head slightly:

"It's hard to say. Although there are no special effects in the later stage of this film, it can save a lot of trouble. But it is difficult to edit. Under normal circumstances, the rough cut can be released in about a week...But my film is rural and The clips in the city are actually very mature story lines, so the editing is more detailed."

  Hearing this, Zheng Xiaolong nodded:

   "The level of editors at West Film Studio is still very high. I have worked with Chen Daliang, the editor of "The Black Cannon Incident", and it was very pleasant."

   "My editor this time is Zhu Huailiang from "The Wind" last time."

  Zhu Huailiang...

  Zheng Xiaolong thought for a while, then shook his head slightly:

   "The name is a bit unfamiliar, but I watched "The Wind", and the compactness of the editing is very good."

   Speaking of this, he showed a look of admiration:

   "Young people are awesome. In these two films, Director Xu has achieved achievements that many directors can't even achieve in a lifetime. Sometimes I really feel that I am too old to die..."

   "Haha, you are not old."

  Xu Xin also does not deny his achievements.

   If you get it, you get it, and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

   I was saying that he and I are TV drama directors, and the other is a film director. The two walk in different paths, so there is no need to be humble.

   To put it bluntly, his achievements in TV dramas are enough to kill him by ten blocks.

   Then, Zheng Xiaolong took the initiative to chat about "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

  The conversation is all about serving Huadao.

  The 70 million investment in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is actually not particularly explosive, but it is definitely a lot.

   And most of them fell on Fuhuadao.

The two chatted from obedience to the scene selection, and from the scene selection to the story of the whole script... But after hearing that Xu Xin hadn't read the script, Zheng Xiaolong didn't talk much about the content of the script, but talked about The core of the entire script.

  When he first came into contact with Yang Mi before, he told Yang Mi that this time he wanted to shoot a world... described from a critical perspective.

  I want those immature worldviews, especially adolescent boys and girls, to see if they can survive three episodes in that treacherous harem with their IQs.

   So that these children who fantasize about the plots in online novels every day can wake up.

  Especially when he brought up the news he watched again.

   It was the girl who committed suicide in order to time travel.

   Good starting point.

   Indeed, with the popularity of the Internet, there are more and more news about immature children doing something out of the ordinary.

In the past, it was possible to push the blame on games, but following the Internet cafe fire that shocked the whole country in Yanjing City in 2002, after the Internet real-name system began to dominate the country, it is true that online games are considered by many people to be Cancerous tumor, but at least in front of this ZC, no matter what the blame is, if you want to push it to online games, you really have to use your brain.

   And now Xu Xin can't figure out how a normal person would think that there is such absurd thing as "time travel" in this world...

   is also quite outrageous.

  …

  The two directors were chatting, but Yang Mi was actually a bit out of touch.

  Because the two of them were talking about things on the level of all directors.

   Such as the core of some stories, or the content of some shooting techniques.

  She understands, but that's all.

  Now she is not interested in directing.

  So, when Xu Xin and Zheng Xiaolong were chatting with each other over a cigarette and a cup of tea, she turned her phone to silent and fiddled with it.

   About twenty minutes later, Zhang Jiao and Baozi walked into the room at the same time.

  Xu Xin hadn't seen Zhao Liying for a long time. When he saw her, he couldn't help but look him up and down.

   Not to mention...

  This girl looks a little bit long.

  Although his appearance hasn't changed much, he feels that his body has gradually acquired a new flavor.

   It's pretty good.

  The arrival of the two of them was like the beginning. As the time approached 6 o'clock, the people who made the banquet at 6:30 rushed over one after another.

  Chen Jianbin who played the role of the emperor, Cai Shaofen who played the role of the queen, etc.

  Yang Mi knew all these people, and knew what roles they were playing, but Xu Xin was a little bit blind.

  The topic began to change naturally, from the chat between the two directors to the twittering of the whole room.

  As an investor and host, Yang Mi naturally wouldn't let the atmosphere cool down.

   What's more, Cai Shaofen and Zhang Jin are still husband and wife.

  The two have a natural intimacy.

   If you don’t talk, you don’t know, but when you start talking, Yang Mi knows... It turns out that Cai Shaofen just came from Chikan.

  She also went to see her husband secretly, but she didn't show up on the set.

  There were many people, and soon the room became lively.

  Although everyone will be in the same crew in the future, this kind of occasion also requires communication.

  Zheng Xiaolong informed everyone that today is a dinner party for the crew, managers and assistants, etc. Sun Ting also arranged for other rooms early.

  So at this time, the actors themselves need to connect with each other.

  Director Zheng needs to be contacted, but most of them are Yang Mi and Xu Xin.

  Especially Xu Xin, many people came to say hello, and even exchanged a few words.

   So much so that for a while, it seemed a little overwhelming.

   But Xu Xin has nothing to do, he can't be approached by someone, and he puts on a dirty face, facing it with an expression of refusal to be thousands of miles away, right?

   Unrealistic.

  So, he was surrounded by several people.

  That's really Director Xu and Director Xu, and we're in charge of serving tea and water.

  Zheng Xiaolong didn't mind, instead he chatted with Chen Jianbin about how to play the role of emperor well.

  Yang Mi was sitting in front of the sofa beside her, crackling on her mobile phone, not knowing who she was chatting with.

   When the time came to the early 6 o'clock, the actors were basically assembled.

   Zheng Xiaolong's crew members are still a few short, and Liang Bingning is missing.

  But they all called in advance, and they were already very close to catch up with the traffic jam.

  After the number of people increased, Xu Xin never lit a cigarette.

  Most of the girls, smoking in this kind of space... seems a bit tasteless. The dinner has not started yet, and everyone is in a relatively concentrated space.

   It may be better when we wait for the seats to be seated in batches, after all, the space has increased.

   But now that he has become addicted to cigarettes, he can only use the excuse of going to the bathroom to get away, and walk out of the house with the cigarette case.

  As soon as he left, the task of the actors who came to say hello and chat with each other from time to time was over. Today's task is just to let Director Xu remember himself, not too much.

   And Yang Mi finally finished chatting with Liu Zhishi.

   "Weird Man Yizhimei" has also been completed.

   Probably she will be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

   Originally heard that Yang Mi had returned to Yanjing, and Liu Zhishi wanted to make an appointment, but who would have thought that Da Mimi would have to return to the crew tomorrow.

  Shishi is not happy.

  Shishi thinks about honey.

   Honey honey coaxes poetry.

  By the way, I made a few dirty jokes...

   She doesn't know what kind of virtue Liu Zhishi has, but she is very happy with herself.

  In Xu Xin's eyes, that's the reason why that prodigal girl kept "hehehe" on her phone.

   And about a minute or so after Xu Xin left, the door of the room was pushed open.

   "Sorry sorry, it's late. Oops... I just ran into a scrape and blocked the road for a long time..."

  The hot-tempered Liang Bingning walked in while apologizing.

  Hearing this voice, Yang Mi subconsciously looked towards the door.

  Although Liang Bingning did not dress up specially, as a public figure, it is obvious that her private clothes should be carefully dressed.

  The so-called artist fashion is accumulated little by little in these small details.

   It’s the same reason that many people don’t like to watch supermodel catwalks, but like to watch private photos of some artists.

   Today Liang Bingning wears a single ponytail and a white silk shirt on her upper body.

  She herself is white, and when this white silk shirt is paired with her, people will unconsciously have a sense of sight of "this woman is silky from head to sole".

  The trousers are a pair of...just looking at the black, red, and apricot three-color checks, you can tell that they are Burberry's cropped breeches.

  The silk shirt was bundled into the breeches, but part of it was deliberately exposed, drooping to the lower abdomen.

  The whole person seems to have a very different British fashion style.

  Yang Mi immediately fell in love with this neutral style when she saw the clothes and pants.

  She knows that Mu Xiaoguang wants to create a "Master" character set for Sister Bingbing.

   Moreover, just a few days ago, she sent herself a few pictures of her looks. Under the black and white negatives, there were pictures of her hair combed back, wearing a suit and tie, looking full of heroism.

   That was an advertisement she shot for the Nokia N9, which was released in November this year.

  The theme is called: Do Not Follow.

   Tut.

  Neutral style looks good.

   It looks like a strong attacker at first glance!

  It seems that I was wearing my brother's slimming suit that day, and I was still too young to play the "little brother with the unspoken rules of the mafia boss"...Huh?

  Suddenly, her eyes fell on the opponent's shoes.

   This is natural, looking at the upper body, looking at the lower body, and then looking at the shoes.

  Learn about the overall collocation.

   After all, shoes are also a very important part.

   It doesn't matter if you don't read it...

  When she saw the pair of...sock-like shoes, a trace of instinctive doubt flashed in her pupils.

  Brain's first reaction: These shoes look familiar.

  Second reaction: Isn’t this the Balenciaga shoe!

   After both reactions appeared, a third reaction appeared in her mind:

   "When did she go to Europe?"

  Although these three reactions are in order, they actually came out almost at the same time.

After    popped up, her mind suddenly felt a little empty, and her eyes were a little dull.

  These three thoughts, like a gust of wind, instantly blew away all the wild thoughts in her heart, leaving a blank space.

But... I am so immortal, in this sunny mood, a... very small seed that had been planted a long time ago suddenly broke through the soil and sprouted head.

  My father-in-law’s shoes…

   Didn’t it come from her?

   This idea is simply unreasonable, even Yang Mi herself didn't realize what was going on, and it suddenly appeared.

   When her mind realized the thought in her heart, her goosebumps once again escaped the shackles of reason, and quickly bulged in every inch of her body within a thousandth of a second.

   Don't... don't you?

   Isn't it?

  She felt absurd that such an idea would be born in her mind.

  But after the absurdity...

   What happened that afternoon at the Chang'an Club came to mind again.

  This matter... logically speaking, it's just speculation.

   Even, what Aunt Zhao said may be over-interpreted by her brother.

But…

  Intuition tells myself...

   Something is wrong, very wrong.

   Or, think about it from another angle, let’s give an example...

  Known conditions: The two have a past, the father-in-law has a pair of Balenciaga that can only be bought in Europe, and Liang Bingning also has a pair of feet.

  Solution: How did the father-in-law get this pair of shoes?

  After this word problem appeared in Yang Mi's mind, her mind stopped turning.

   In fairness, this question is problematic.

  Because a necessary condition for application questions is completeness.

  The question maker must ensure that the value of the unknown quantity is obtained from the condition, and the condition is met.

  And in this application question, there is still a key link missing, that is, whether the two have any contact in private.

etc…

  This condition...

   "Sister, Jiaojiao called and said... Sister Bingbing got off Uncle Xu's car and went to our company for an audition."

  Condition is met.

   "!!"

  In an instant, Yang Mi felt that she had solved the problem.

  She dare not say that her father-in-law understands 100% of the clothing, but it is not too much to say that she understands 99% of it.

  Uncle Xu doesn't care about clothes at all.

   Don't talk about looking for an agent to buy.

  His purpose of buying things is just one thing: expensive.

   Expensive is good.

   And the habit of shopping is missing something. When I go to the mall, I don’t even bother to go to the second floor.

   It's on the first floor, whichever suit you like, put it on, if you think it's suitable, pick it up and leave.

   Not even asking the price.

  As for you asking him to go abroad to buy a pair of shoes...that's simply impossible!

  Although there are other possibilities, for example, this pair of shoes was given by someone else, or another girl bought it for him...

  But now Liang Bingning's shoes are just there...

  How do you make me believe that there is no connection between the two?

   Brainstorming to this point, she felt that she had guessed the correct answer under the known conditions.

  But the problem is... this question, I can't write it.

   It is just like you encountered a math problem that you have done before, and you only remember that the final answer to this problem is 0, but it is a reason that you have forgotten all the ideas and steps to solve the problem.

  For a 15-point question, you don’t write the steps, and you don’t write the equation, and you give an answer of "X=0".

  Thinking of this, her lips trembled unconsciously.

   It's over, brothers.

  The regiment hasn't played yet, so the house was stolen!

  A sense of absurdity of being robbed spontaneously arises.

  Then, she thought subconsciously...if the father-in-law really had a story with her... let's not talk about their past.

   Just ask a question...

  What should I call her in the future?

  Yang Mi's entire scalp started to go numb, looking at Liang Bingning who was talking and laughing happily, she didn't even dare to glance at her shoes.

   At this moment, Liang Bingning, who had already greeted Director Zheng, looked at Yang Mi with a smile:

   "What are you thinking? The eyes are straight."

   "...huh? Uh...no...nothing."

  Yang Mi instinctively stood up from the sofa:

"It's fine."

   "...?"

  Liang Bingning was a little puzzled:

   "What's wrong with you? You look restless."

  At this moment, Yang Mi, who forcibly collected her mind, quickly shook her head:

   "I'm really fine."

"…All right."

  Liang Bingning glanced at her strangely, then looked around:

   "Eh? Where's Xu Xin?"

  Yang Mixin said that you dare to mention him! ?

  If my elder brother sees the shoes under your feet, he will explode in an instant just because of his fortitude...!

  Suddenly, she was taken aback.

  The newly sprouted idea in my heart felt a wind from the sky.

   "You must not let my brother see these shoes!"

   Absolutely not!

  Go to the sky to warn, and the sky will send a catastrophe!

  If this is seen, this family may be in a frying pan!

   As a result, her brain spun rapidly, and the words that came out of her mouth even exceeded the reaction speed of her brain.

  As the "master", she said to Zheng Xiaolong:

   "Director Zheng, almost everyone is here, shall we take a seat first?"

"Well…"

   Zheng Xiaolong, who has been discussing the shooting with director of photography Zhang Yuanji, subconsciously looked at the clock on the wall.

  It's almost time.

   "Okay. Then everyone sit down. Come on, Mimi, you take the main seat."

   In the past, Yang Mi would definitely have to shirk.

   But right now she couldn't hold anything else in her mind, so she grabbed Liang Bingning's arm directly:

   "Bingbing...sister!"

  She suppressed the absurdity and awkwardness in her heart:

   "Go, let's be next to each other!"

   After speaking, without waiting for Liang Bingning to answer, she took her arm and walked into the innermost part of the big round table.

  Hurry up hurry up...

   Wait a little longer, brother will come back in a while, but it will be too late!
