I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 377 375. Love is like mountains and seas, mountains and seas can be flat

   "Yang Mi is so beautiful!!"

   "Yes, yes, she still has no makeup, she is like this, no wonder she looks so good with makeup!"

   "Her legs are so thin, so pretty!"

   "I remember she danced a very professional pole dance in "Not Drunk"! How could her dancing legs be so thin! It's too much!"

   "I really like the outline of her heels! I really want to touch..."

   "...Although everyone is a girl, I still think your remarks are a little perverted."

   "Have you all remembered the posture and the main points? How did you do the sitting? First lift the skirt, then sit... what else?"

  The entire audition scene was a bit noisy because of the bright sun of a certain golden rooster actress.

  These girls are carefully recalling the scene just now, trying to remember all the points she showed.

even…

   Some girls who are familiar with "The Hawthorn Tree" have a question in their minds unconsciously:

   "Is she Jing Qiu?"

Or…

   "Is she the most suitable person for Jingqiu?"

  Why is Director Xu looking for us?

  Can't you let Yang Mi go directly?

  We compare with her...

   What are we?

   But they were puzzled and absurd, and their eyes were still looking at Yang Mi unconsciously.

   At this moment, Xu Xin's voice sounded:

   "Well, then everyone will follow this step. Come on... You four can also start again. Those who have been on stage just now can also try again later, let's continue."

   It's not good to let the old man talk all the time.

   Then it seems too fake.

   And Zuo Zuo had already figured out today's audition routine, so he naturally took over the right to speak.

   It is better to choose the old man.

  With Yang Mi's guidance... Sure enough, everyone's performance has improved a lot, and the kind of elegance and grace just followed the pace, and the bits and pieces began to show.

   Then, Xu Xin also saw Ni Ni.

only…

   What do you say?

  This girl with no makeup...that kind of temperament has dropped a lot in one fell swoop.

  However, after making up for the makeup in Xu Xin's mind, the image and temperament are not bad.

   And she was also successfully selected.

   Pretty smooth kind.

   And Xu Xin gradually figured out the old man's habit of choosing girls.

  Beauty must have its own characteristics.

   This standard should be at the forefront of the old man's casting.

  Just... he doesn't like public faces.

   That kind of stereotyped beauty, no.

  Every girl must have her own characteristics.

  At least the girls shortlisted this morning are quite distinctive.

   They are all beautiful, and each has its own merits.

  In the morning, around 1 o'clock at noon, all the girls who auditioned had finished their presentations.

   There were less than 200 people, and all of them were shown in turn all morning.

  In the end, there were less than 60 people left.

  The rest are basically equivalent to elimination.

   At first glance, this ratio is okay... But in fact, before the 200 people, the old man had already screened thousands of people through video recording.

   There are less than 200 people here, and they were selected from the thousands of people.

   And among the 200 people, only 13 people will be left in the end.

  In the next period of time, they will receive a one-month training period under the guidance of an etiquette teacher.

   Then after New Year's Day, the quota of 30 people will be determined again.

   At first glance, it looks the same as the draft.

  But in fact, the preferences of these 30 people are still decided by the old man alone.

   Has little to do with effort….

  In other words, these etiquettes are just to show themselves better.

  The 30 people are finally selected, and a non-disclosure agreement will be signed.

  Provide a salary not lower than the average salary from the early stage.

   Until the final selection of 13 people.

  …

   "Where are you going? Let's eat together?"

"I don't want to eat with you guys. I have to go to Shanghai to participate in the movie promotion... By the way, I still have the videotapes of the last batch of actors for "The Hawthorn Tree". After I finish watching it in Shanghai, if there is a suitable , and push it to you. If there is no suitable one, then wait for your full moon wine to come back and start the second round."

"okay."

  Xu Xin nodded, and after bidding farewell to Zhang Mo and Zhang Yimou, he turned to look at Yang Mi:

   "Then shall we go too?"

   "Let's go, I'll have someone prepare the plane."

  Wang Sicong's Gulfstream that she temporarily requisitioned.

   Anyway, he is always idle when he is idle.

  By the time the couple returned home, Yang Dalin and his wife, who had received the news, had already finished tidying up, and Sun Ting and Cheng Hu had also packed the car.

   After a hasty meal, the couple hurried to the airport.

   Then, at around 4:00 pm, I arrived at Dongsheng Airport.

  The weather in Inner Mongolia is definitely colder than in Yanjing.

   But fortunately, everyone is from the north, not as exaggerated as the southerners who first arrived in the north.

   Just added an extra piece of clothing, and wrapped the child tightly.

   After leaving the gate of the airport, Yang Dalin and Yang Chunling immediately felt what is meant by high-standard reception.

  First a row of Land Cruisers and a Lexus 570.

   Seven or eight vehicles.

   Then there is the calm Rolls Royce.

   Seven or eight vehicles.

   Then, Land Rover, Hummer...

   Watching that is called a security.

  Yang Dalin and his wife didn't know what to say for a while.

  Yang Mi was also taken aback by this battle.

   Instead, it was Xu Xin, who was used to seeing the Rolls Royce that Xu Miao was pointing at.

   Taking a look at the license plate, Xu Xin knew that the car did not belong to the old man.

   It belonged to a friend of my father in the county.

   As for what makes this Rolls Royce different...

   Well, it's bulletproof.

  V12 engine.

  6.7L displacement.

   Landed about 14 million.

  The original car owner...is also a person with a story, anyway, he has a strong sense of safety.

   According to Xu Xin's knowledge, this car is the only one in Shaanxi.

  Safe don’t don’t.

  Xu Xin couldn't drive this car anymore, so a special driver was assigned.

   And this way, the couple probably had to hold the baby in their arms.

  But considering the danger of small probability events, Xu Xin thinks it is very acceptable.

   "Get in the car first, don't freeze the child."

  Hearing what Xu Miao said, Xu Xin nodded:

   "Where's our dad?"

   "The table has been set, waiting for us."

   "Okay, let's go."

   Faxiao nodded to those who didn't want to waste time, and they all stood by the car to greet him, and the couple got into the thick Rolls-Royce directly.

  Then the convoy set off in a mighty way.

   Along the way, Xu Miao, who was sitting in the co-pilot, kept turning her head to see her little nephew smiling.

  Yang Mi looked out of the window curiously:

   "I thought there was a yurt."

"have."

  Hearing this, Xu Miao nodded:

   "When I come back in summer, we have our own horse farm, which is right here. If you want to live in a yurt, you can live in it, and you can do whatever you want! This place has the final say!"

  He said it as it should be.

   Full of local superiority.

"This winter, our family bought another piece of land, right here. Then we will build a big shed, and we will grow our own sheep, chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and cattle, and grow vegetables. Don't eat things bought outside in the future. There are pesticides. Let the plane deliver it every day. What you want to eat, let us know one day in advance, and get the best of them all...and buy some wagyu...the cattle and sheep we raise here are delicious!"

   "Don't."

  Yang Mi quickly shook her head:

   "Brother Sanshui, don't mobilize people like this...it's too wasteful."

   "It's okay, this little money is nothing!"

"It's not a matter of money or not. I believe in a word, the flowers in the greenhouse can't stand the wind and rain. Children can't be too spoiled. They can be pampered or hurt, but they can't be used to it. It's terrible if they don't work hard. That's bad!"

   "Let's not be spoiled, just let the children eat and drink something good. Healthy..."

   Obviously, Xu Miao didn't listen to Yang Mi's words.

   As a last resort, she looked at Xu Xin again.

   Obviously, what she pursues is the "scientific growth" of her children, not such a luxurious life from an early age...

  If money is not mentioned first, it is not a good idea to develop that kind of concept.

  But Xu Xin waved his hand:

   "It's okay, just don't tell the child. Just treat these things as bought from the vegetable market... The child's beating lies in the experience and the surrounding living environment, not in eating and drinking."

   "That's right~"

   Or after all, the two brothers.

   Heart is really Qi.

  Yang Mi was speechless after listening.

   "What about the plane, when will it be delivered? Can you add some money to expedite it? It's not troublesome enough to go out every day and have to catch other people's planes."

  Xu Xin began to develop the ability of moth banknotes again.

   And...it feels very comfortable.

   I don't know why, when he was in Yanjing, he almost lost the concept of being a rich man.

   You don't have to worry about food and drink expenses, it's all Yang Mi's worries.

   To put it bluntly, Zhang Jiao is not here now.

  When she was here, Xu Xin almost forgot whether the mineral water was one yuan a bottle or one yuan and five dollars.

  The most exaggerated time, he had 1,500 yuan in cash in his wallet... As a result, he only spent 200 yuan at the end of a month.

   And the 200 yuan still charged the meal card in the cafeteria...

   is outrageous.

   He even forgot the last time he went to the gas station by himself.

   So much so that he had an illusion.

  I seem to be earning the salary of the Olympics all my life, and I won’t be able to starve myself to death.

   Can still live extremely chic.

   And this time returning to the familiar environment, he finally regained the dignity he once had as a second-generation coal worker.

   Saying this sentence, I feel very comfortable.

Yeah.

   Spend money!

  It doesn’t cost money, how can we be worthy of our status as the second generation of coal?

  But Xu Miao waved his hand:

"Our dad won't let it. It's an airplane. When the workers were decorating it, a screw was pierced. It's a big deal. So, my dad won't let Cui, let the workers work slowly, everything is safe! You add money It's useless. But if you're really worried, get this for you too?"

  Pointing at this bulletproof Rolls-Royce, Xu Miao asked.

   "No. It's too ostentatious, I don't like it. I can drive a Volvo just fine."

   "Then you go back and tell the old man yourself...but it's probably useless."

  The two brothers chatted there all the way.

  Yang Mi, holding the child in her arms, looked at the convoy escorting her with double flashing lights from time to time...

  Don't talk about Xu Xin.

  She only gradually remembered at this time...

  Oh yes, my husband’s family is quite rich.

  Tsk tsk...

  …

  After 5:30, the convoy arrived at Shenmu smoothly.

  The sun in the sky has the last twilight left.

  This is a plateau, and the sun can be seen more often than on the plain.

   And looking at this small city in the distance...

   "It looks quite ordinary, no different from ordinary county towns."

   "Isn't the stuffing on the pleats..."

  Hearing Xu Xin's words, Xu Miao shook her head:

   "No, how about it, our family is still biased. But the treatment is good... Honey, we just set up a universal free medical care..."

   "Ah, amazing!"

  Yang Mi was a little surprised.

   "It's just more than 100 million investment a year, which is okay. The main reason is that there are many elderly people here, and they have been suffering for a lifetime. The county is rich, so everyone can enjoy it."

   While talking, the car passed several large trailers parked on the side of the road.

  Yang Mi turned her head and took a look, and found that the cars were all lined up with Range Rover, Maserati...all kinds of luxury cars.

   "A lot of cars."

  Xu Xin looked down and said:

   "Then do you want to go shopping tomorrow?"

   "What are you shopping for? 4S store?"

   "We don't have a 4S store here."

   "There is no 4S store? Then why do you buy these cars?"

   "It's a sale."

   "Show... what?"

   She hasn't heard this word for a long, long time.

  My impression is that when I was a child and stayed with my parents at my grandma’s house, my grandma liked to take her to the town’s sales fairs.

My grandma's house is in Miyun. Although it is next to Yanjing, the material conditions were not too developed at that time. Moreover, because the south is a coastal area, the north side is synonymous with "trend", so there will always be that kind of Pull all kinds of popular clothes from the south to the "fair" sold in the town of grandma's house.

   This word is really too retro.

   While immersed in childhood memories, Xu Xin shrugged:

   "Just put those cars on the city square near our house. Whoever wants to buy them has to pay and go through the formalities."

   "..."

  Yang Mi couldn't help the corner of her mouth twitching.

   Guys, is this a trip to the supermarket?

  This is a Land Rover...

   Land Rover doesn't want to lose face?

   Is Maserati so cheap?

   Looking at her expression, Xu Xin asked with a smile:

   "Now you know how I got the split feeling when I was a freshman?"

"…understood."

  Holding the child, she nodded with empathy:

   "Shenmu...it's amazing."

  …

  Whether Shenmu is good or not, Yang Dalin and his wife don't know.

  But my in-laws are really powerful.

  Getting off the bus at this restaurant named "Linzhou State Banquet Cuisine", first two rows of salutes were fired, and then the host invited them in with a microphone.

   When I got inside, I found that the inside and outside were already full.

  The host shouted with emotion:

   "Let us welcome Mr. Xu's good father-in-law, mother-in-law, Mr. Yang Dalin, Ms. Yang Chunling...to enter the venue with the warmest applause!"

   "Wow la la la la la la..."

   A group of people started applauding.

  Long Yang Dalin mistakenly thought that the full moon banquet had already begun.

   Walking on the red carpet with stiff steps, he thought he was going to give a speech, but in the end he just walked along the red carpet and went directly to the elevator.

   After reaching the second floor, the long corridor was also full of people standing on both sides.

  Applause welcomed the arrival of the couple.

  At the same time, Yang Dalin could vaguely hear cheers coming from below...

   It should be the son-in-law and daughter entering the venue.

  Feeling the unique welcome ceremony in front of you, and the open door of the box with double doors at the end of the corridor, Xu Daqiang who stood at the front of the crowd to greet him...

   he thought secretly.

  …

   This meal was really just a catch-all.

   But Yang Dalin did drink too much.

  There are many people in the village, and there are many relatives. Each person has a glass of wine, and the enthusiasm is outrageous.

   So much so that Yang Dalin didn't know how much he drank in the end, and he fell unconscious anyway.

  Xu Xin is similar.

  He didn't even see the bowl of mutton noodles that he was thinking about.

  I just feel confused before I have eaten a few bites of food.

   This first meal gave Yang Dalin a lesson and Xu Xin a review.

   That is, Yang Mi needs to breastfeed, and Yang Chunling needs to help her daughter take care of the child.

   Otherwise, it is really necessary for the two of them to experience the enthusiasm of the family members.

   And Yang Mi finally came to Xu Xin's bedroom for the first time.

  She will sleep with her mother tonight and will take care of the baby together.

   But before going to bed, she checked everything in his bedroom amidst her husband's loud snoring.

Harvest: a diary in the first half of the third year of junior high school, three bookmarks of love poems that were not sent out in the first year of junior high school, an autographed IOU of "I owe Xu Sanjin three fists--Zhao Xiaoyu", and a letter full of "girls" .

  She is not angry.

   On the contrary, I think it is very interesting, just like digging for treasure.

   It seems that from these things full of age, I can vaguely see the shadow of my man's life from childhood to adulthood.

   And finally, she found a locked drawer.

  The lock is still a combination lock.

   After thinking about it, she looked at the four-digit password and fiddled with some old numbers:

   "1, 3, 0, 3."

   This is the top four of all my husband's password-related stuff.

   And if it is a six-digit number, it is: 130300.

  She asked what such a simple password was for, and the answer she got was the first six digits of the first mobile phone number that Dad bought.

as expected.

  The lock opens with a "click".

  She took off the lock and opened the drawer.

  A glass photo frame first catches the eye.

  In the glass photo frame, there is a photo of a woman holding a tiger hat with a tiger's head and a tiger's brain, smiling and taking pictures in the background of Yanjing Tianmen Square.

  The background is fake at first glance.

   It's so fake that it can't be fake anymore.

   It should be a pictorial like an old-fashioned photo. People standing here to take a picture feel like they have been to Tianmen Square.

  The woman in the picture...is not very beautiful.

  Based on the current aesthetics...it's actually quite ordinary.

   What's more, the clothes on his body are a very simple red padded jacket, a pair of black trousers underneath, and a pair of ordinary cloth shoes.

   But she smiled happily.

  Holding the little guy in his arms, he smiled sweetly at the camera.

this…

   Could it be my mother-in-law?

  The smile on Yang Mi's face faded slowly.

   She noticed the time in the corner of the photo.

  1987/03/03

  My mother-in-law died on September 12, 1987.

   And this photo...was taken half a year before my brother was less than one year old and her mother-in-law passed away?

  For some reason, her eyes began to feel uncomfortable.

   After blinking twice, he looked at the back of the photo frame.

  A vague pencil writing is faintly visible:

   "Mom, I miss you."

  The characters are written crookedly.

  But Yang Mi's nose started to feel sore.

  Amidst Xu Xin's loud snoring, she resisted the sourness, put the photo frame gently on the table, and continued to look at the things in the drawer.

  The fleece hat is exactly the same as in the photo.

  But after more than 20 years, the hat has faded to the point of shame.

   Then came a pair of tiger-toe shoes that were also made of Buna.

   It also seems to be stuffed with cotton.

  Yang Mi picked it up and looked at it, and found a pack of mothballs inside each shoe.

   Then there is a pair of gloves with broken threads.

   and an envelope.

  The envelope is the oldest and oldest kraft paper envelope, and the wax on the outer skin of the kraft paper has cracked.

  Yang Mi thought for a while, carefully opened the envelope, and took a look inside.

   Inside are several pages of folded paper.

  She swore that she used the most attentive and gentle strength that she didn't even hold her own child so carefully. After pinching out the paper inside, she slowly opened the yellowed paper.

   There are two sheets of paper.

  It is all traces of being wet and dried by some kind of liquid.

   Even the handwriting is blurred in some places, but it can still be read.

   "Baby three gold:

   Listen to your father. Dad has a bad temper, so don't make him angry. If Dad hits you, Mom will feel bad. Be obedient.

   You need to eat more, and you can grow taller after eating. He is taller than his father.

  Don’t go to the river to play in summer, especially after it rains, don’t go.

  Don’t run around on the mountain alone, be careful of the empty shell hole, you won’t be found if you fall down.

  If you see your father crying because of your mother, go and kiss your father and say that your mother doesn't like your father crying, and your father should not cry.

  If Dad drinks alcohol or loses his temper and throws things, you have to be brave and shout out: Mom won’t let Dad lose his temper.

  Three golds, you must eat, sleep, and grow up obediently.

  Don’t be bad, don’t play with bad kids, don’t fight, listen to your dad, listen to your teacher, listen to your brother. Someone is bullying you, you have to tell your dad and brother. They promised that mom would always protect you.

   There will be a new mother in the future, and that is also a mother. You must be filial to the new mother and father.

  Sanjin, grow up safely and don't let mother worry.

  Be obedient.

  Mom loves you. Always love you, always love you.

My baby I love you. "

  This is the content of the first page.

  The content is very simple and plain.

   It can even be said that there is no talent for writing.

But…

  Yang Mi, whose face was full of tears at some point, pinched this page of paper with trembling fingers, and after pinching it away, looked at the second page.

  On the top of the second page, there is a pencil drawing of a woman standing in the sky smiling and watching a smiling child sitting on the ground with trees and houses waving.

  The painting is very vivid.

  The child smiled happily.

  The woman in the sky also smiled happily.

  Happy and gentle.

   Incomparably gentle.

  But Yang Mi's tears flowed out of her eye sockets as if a bank had burst.

  “My dad said my drawing talent was inherited from my mom.”

   Her brother's words flashed through her mind.

   Sure enough.

  Brother is right.

  Grandma’s drawing is really good.

   This is the most beautiful painting she has ever seen.

What a nice view.

What a nice view.

  She trembled and wept silently, holding the two pages of paper, and carefully stuffing them back into the envelope.

  Using the most gentle movements, put everything back in place.

  Finally, before closing the drawer, she caressed the glass photo frame, and said softly amidst Xu Xin's trembling grunt:

   "Mother-in-law, don't worry. Sanjin...I will take care of him. I will let him eat well, and he will be safe...I promise!"

  The words are spoken softly.

  The tone is like mountains and seas.

   And the love in it...

   Mountains and seas can be flat.
