Chapter 356 354. It’s a thank you, not a reward (3/1)

Xu Xin really felt like he hadn't seen Tang Yan for a long time.

We haven't seen each other since we visited the set of "Sword and Sword III" last summer. In fact, logically speaking, the two of them must be destined to each other.

After being selected as the "Olympic Baby", Tang Yan, the girl who was personally selected by Director Zhang. Under normal circumstances, with the title of "Zhang Yimou's personal selection", she should be very popular in the entertainment industry.

, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will never have to worry about the narrow path.

This has nothing to do with personal acting skills, it is entirely due to Director Zhang’s golden signature.

Just like countless female stars who debuted, they also wanted to carry the identity of "hunting girl", which is the same reason.

From Gong Li to Zhang Ziyi to Dong Jie, except for Wei Yuezhi who was filming "No One Less", Director Zhang personally talked to her when she was about to start her acting career and was lost in this circle due to Director Zhang's identity as a girl.

After talking to him, he directly stated, "You have no acting talent and are not suitable for this industry."

The success of all other girls, including Yang Mi, already represents one thing. That is

Director Zhang really knows how to choose actresses.

Even in media interviews, Director Zhang himself said that sometimes as long as he sees a girl, he can naturally understand what the girl will become in the future, whether she is suitable for this industry, and where her upper limit is.

To put it bluntly, when Xu Xin saw this interview, he once thought that Director Zhang might be the kind of "reborn person" mentioned on the Internet.

After all, the way he looks at people is simply too powerful. The kind that makes no sense at all.

Therefore, Director Zhang's attention is the dream of countless actresses in the industry. Even Tang Yan, a group of Olympic treasures, has also gained a lot of attention after their debut.

Unfortunately, time is also destiny.

Eight minutes after Athens, these Olympic treasures were swept into the "garbage dump" together with those eight minutes. However, now Tang Yan has survived.

"Sword and Sword III" is now a big hit on local TV stations, and it is said that it may be broadcast on a star TV station during the Spring Festival. No matter how fiercely criticized the fans of the original work are on the Internet, they still can't stop more people who have never played the game from finding the show interesting.

.

The fire should be obvious.

Therefore, it seems that Tang Yan is no longer the insignificant Olympic baby before. But he is quite surprised to meet him here.

But when he thought carefully that she could act in a Tang Dynasty drama, Xu Xin felt normal again. However, he remembered that his sister said that Tang Yan didn't seem to be from Tang Dynasty? Did he remember it wrong?

As he was thinking about some things in his mind, he heard Tang Yan ask with a smile:

"Director Xu, is Mimi going to be pregnant soon? When can I go see her?" "Soon."

Xu Xin smiled and nodded:

"She is in the big confinement period, which lasts 45 days." "The big confinement period?"

Tang Yan counted the days and said:

"I remember the baby was born on October 10th, so the confinement period will be at the end of this month?"

"Yes. At the end of the month, and after the confinement, we will have a full-moon wine. If you are not busy, come and have a wedding wine." Hearing Xu Xin's invitation, the smile on Tang Yan's face immediately became brighter:

"Hmm, I definitely have to go. This is a great thing. Director Xu, let's leave a phone number. I'll wait for you to let me know then?" Don't you have Yang Mi's phone number? "

Xu Xin was stunned.

But Tang Yan nodded and asked with a smile on his face:

"Yes, but doesn't the man always send invitations to things like the full moon wine?" "Uh."

Xu Xin was really confused now. Is there such a rule? Why didn't he know?

At the Full Moon Wine that I have been attending since I was a child, isn’t it always someone’s friend who informs me? Is this the rule of the magic city?

Are the rules of the Magic City so special?

While thinking about it, he took out his work phone.

Tang Yan didn't take the phone, he just said the number

After Xu Xin dialed the number, she continued to smile:

"I actually missed Mimi a lot. When we were filming before, we even said that after the filming was over, we would go camping together when we went to Yanjing. As a result, after the promotional period last year, two new dramas were released directly.

It’s the end of the year after all the work. If I try to find Mimi again, she’ll get pregnant.”

"She really likes camping."

"After having a child, there may be fewer opportunities, right? After all, Mimi is so busy."

"No, you can't tie her up just because of the child, right? If you want to play, you can just make an appointment. I will take care of the child and my parents-in-law will take care of it, no problem."

"That's great. I'm looking forward to camping with Mimi."

"Haha, don't seduce her now. I'm afraid she'll drift away during the confinement period. I'm talking about it. Camping in winter is a disaster. In spring and summer, it would be great to find a good place to pitch a tent and watch the stars."

"Uh-huh."

After chatting for a while about the inexplicable topic of camping, Tang Yan said with a smile: "Director Xu, when we return to Yanjing, when Mimi is out of confinement, let's have a meal together?" "No problem."

Xu Xin agreed immediately. Then she politely said goodbye and left.

Xu Xin touched his pocket and planned to go to the backyard to smoke a cigarette and grab a plate of barbecue to try. He was also a little hungry.

Tonight's cocktail party, let's call it a cocktail party.

To be honest, it was actually just a social gathering where these actors wanted to come and make friends with him. This circle is quite real sometimes.

Whoever has a high box office and can make money for investors will be followed by thousands of people.

Although he didn't know whether Shanghai Film Studio treated other directors the same way, at least these two times, the standard of hospitality they received each time, including the "highlighting" of their status. This kind of praise was a real investment.

.

Anyone who has no conscience should give him a thumbs up. What’s more, he is not a heartless person. If someone gives you face, you have to hold on to it.

There is no reason to fall.

As he was thinking about it, he had just taken out the cigarette and put it in his mouth, when a hand appeared in front of him and turned on the lighter in his hand.

Xu Xin turned around and glanced at Nazha, who had changed into a simple and elegant black dress that made her skin look whiter. She nodded slightly.

"not cold?"

"I know you will come out to smoke if you are not cold, so I will wait for you here." ".."

Hearing this, Xu Xin tilted his head and lit the cigarette. Feeling the girl's thoughtfulness and intelligence, he took the initiative to ask: "You're out after high school?"

Seeing Xu Xin taking the initiative to talk, Nazha quickly nodded obediently:

"Well, I'm preparing to take the entrance exam for the Military Arts Troupe over there. I went to a technical secondary school before, so I can still take the college entrance examination." Xu Xin was stunned.

Subconsciously, his eyes fell on this girl's face again.

This time, after he looked at it carefully, he suddenly frowned. As soon as he frowned, Nazha immediately felt uneasy and subconsciously lowered her head.

But at this time, I heard Xu Xin say:

"Tell me the truth, how old are you." "Ah me."

Her eyes began to twinkle. "Say."

Xu Xin slightly emphasized his tone.

Hearing the tone of voice that did not allow for deception, Nazha's heart trembled and she subconsciously muttered: "Eighteen"

Does Xu Xin believe it? He believes in a hammer.

This expression clearly shows that he is lying.

"What's the date on the ID card?"

Nazha glanced at him quietly again, and seeing his brows furrowed, her voice became softer: "119920502"

19920502?92 years?

Isn't he still under 18?! Xu Xin was speechless for a moment.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Young kids in the modeling profession

There are indeed many of them, some with good figures come out at the age of sixteen or seventeen, which is absolutely normal. What's more, he has no intention of "touching" this girl from the beginning to the end.

Even the seemingly intimate appearance when they met for the first time was just to help the other person get out of trouble. He was speechless because.

Isn’t Hu Guang clear about this kind of thing? ***Introduce a minor to me?

If I were really not afraid of that half-step collapse fist, would they send me to prison? Just as I was thinking about it, Nazha, who had told the truth, quickly whispered:

"Director Xu, please keep it a secret for me. Mr. Hu doesn't know this yet. I have changed the information. "Uh."

Xu Xin was stunned for a moment.

I think Zhang Jiao and you are biological sisters, right?

Temporarily suppressing the absurdity in his mind, he nodded.

Then he said:

"When are you going to take the exam?"

"Next year, I actually want to make more money. My father has a heart disease. So..." Xu Xin was speechless for a moment.

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether she was lying or telling the truth. It is said that she laughs at the poor but not at the prostitute.

Since ancient times, men have been romantic. When they go out to play, it doesn’t matter whether they are stupid and do not understand anything, whether they have illusions about "emotions", or whether they are looking for something to talk about and a sense of existence.

It seems that when I meet some young ladies, I always like to ask: "How old are you this year?"

"Why did you come out to do this?" "How long have you been doing this?"

The answer is usually:

"18, just started, family is poor/parents are sick/earn money for schooling for younger brothers and sisters." Of course, he didn't mean that Nazha was one of these young ladies.

Rather, it refers to a principle.

During the training, these things have been regarded as a set of standard techniques for dealing with customers.

When you get an answer of "18" and "just do/just come" from a young lady, it may be that behind your back, she earns more than you and is even the mother of one or two children.

And even if you see the photo of the child on her phone screen or by accident, and impress her with your sincerity, and ask her to answer why you still come out to do it after you have the child, the answer you get may be "My husband doesn't."

Responses like "Chinese use, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling" or "My child is still young, I want to save more money for my child".

Maybe it's true, maybe I didn't lie to you.

But in fact, most of the girls who return to those places after getting married are simply unable to adapt to the "pathetic" rewards in society under the same conditions of equal efforts.

Drink a few glasses of wine with the guests and get three to five hundred.

After a hard day's work, you pay 17 yuan an hour. Some people can't accept the gap.

Therefore, the best way is to use this kind of situation. We are all familiar with each other, so there is no need to know each other before. Even if you meet your classmate doing it, just pretend that you don't know him.

Leave each other the last bit of dignity.

After all, if you dig deeper, you may not get a true picture.

You will only get the answers you want to hear, answers that arouse sympathy and status differences. Xu Xin understands these truths.

After all, he was also the kind of person who said, "Brother, stop touching me. My sister will sing you a song." So, he didn't believe it.

However, this girl still said that her father had a heart disease... Xu Xin hoped it was false.

I hope her dad is happily watching some TV series at home. But what if it’s true?

Okay, I understand. You are quite filial." After Xu Xin finished speaking, he nodded and left with a cigarette in his mouth. Nazha was stunned.

There was a hint of panic in his eyes.

Did I say something wrong? Shouldn't I mention this? This.

A cocktail party was lively and lively.

Even if Xu Xin, who was surrounded by stars, only drank champagne, he ended up a little tipsy.

During this period, Xue Haifeng also asked him tentatively to see if he had met a suitable actor.

No matter Laosan or Jingqiu

Unfortunately, Xu Xin just shook his head: "You have to try the mirror to know."

Seeing this, Xue Haifeng said no more.

But when everyone left, they learned that Xu Xin would sleep in the nearby villa No. 5 tonight, and they modestly said that they had done something wrong. Xu Xin offered him a glass of wine on the spot to apologize.

The two laughed.

Finally, everyone who had a good chat with each other left separately.

However, Xu Xin called someone to wait for a while. "Mr. Hu, just wait. Let's talk."

Hearing this, Hu Guang's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly responded:

"Hey, okay, Director Xu."

"Well, then we'll wait for you over there in the car." Xu Xin waved his hand.

Hu Guang, on the other hand, started looking for Nazha. He even looked at each other with Xue Haifeng and the others. Everyone nodded tacitly.

But Nazha seemed to have gone to change clothes, and she didn't see anyone at the moment. It didn't matter.

There are indeed a lot of people at this time, and it’s not very convenient.

After a while, Nazha finished changing her clothes and sent them to Director Xu's Courtyard No. 5. Wouldn't the business from now on come? With this mood, he quickly walked towards the Land Rover.

However, when they arrived next to the Land Rover, they didn't see Xu Xin. They only saw Xu Zhi holding an envelope in his hand.

Hu Guang was stunned.

But he still said hello: "Mr. Xu, where is Director Xu?"

"He drank a little too much, so he needs to go back and rest first."

Xu Zhi, who had not touched any alcohol, smiled and folded the two envelopes together and handed them to Hu Guang. "This is it?"

"The one here is for Nazha. Director Xu likes her very much, and her care these two times was very considerate and hard-working. Although we are talking about personal relationships, she was able to take time off from her busy work to take care of her.

Xu Xin, he can't treat Nazha badly. Xu Xin has to leave tomorrow, and he won't have time to treat Mr. Hu and Nazha to dinner to thank him. So this is his thanks."

"Well"

Only then did Hu Guang understand.

Director Xu is giving himself a "thank you fee"?

As soon as he touched the two envelopes, he found out that each envelope was at least 20,000 yuan thick and very bulging.

"I can't ask for this. Nazha also admires Director Xu." "Mr. Hu."

Xu Zhi smiled and shook his head:

"This is what Nazha deserves. Xu Xin also said that after the audition begins, he will personally come to meet Mr. Hu in Yanjing. After all, there are many beauties in Meikong, so he is still looking forward to Mr. Hu's surprise.

Everyone’s cooperation is still there. Mr. Hu is one of his own, but we can’t treat the people under Mr. Hu badly, right? Wouldn’t that make us stingy?”

After a few words, all Hu Guang's words were blocked. This money must be collected.

This man is quite particular about his work, Hu Guangxin said.

"Do you want Nazha to take care of Director Xu?"

"Hahaha, no need tonight. We still have some things to talk about." Xu Zhi said with a smile.

"Mr. Hu."

Nazha, who had changed into a new set of sportswear, jogged to the door:

"Sorry, it was a bit cold just now. I went to change clothes. Sorry to keep you waiting for so long." By now, everyone had almost left, and only the waiter was left to clean up the place.

"Um."

Hu Guang looked Nazha up and down, with a satisfied look on his face. "Nazha, your performance today is very good."

He handed the envelope that Xu Zhi handed him to Nazha intact. In fact, if the manager was here, he would be pumped.

But he doesn't need to.

"The reward that Director Xu gave you. He is very satisfied with your performance today~" Nazha was stunned.

Is there a reward?

For some reason, she felt that these words sounded a bit harsh. But judging from the thickness of the envelope, it was real. When she came to her senses, she quickly bowed:

"Thank you, Mr. Hu. Without your support, I wouldn't be able to thank you like I am today." "Hahaha."

Seeing her well-behaved appearance, Hu Guang became more and more satisfied. After handing her two envelopes, he said:

"Get in the car, I'll ask the driver to take you back. Remember to send a message to Director Xu later to thank you, do you understand?"

·Okay! I understand, Mr. Hu, don’t you want to go with us?”

"I have something to do over there, so you can go...behave well in front of Director Xu from now on, you know?" Well, Mr. Hu, I'm leaving then."

"Go ahead."

Watching the girl get into the car, he nodded to the driver: "Send it to Nazha's home. You don't need to pick me up." "Okay, Mr. Hu."

The driver nodded and drove away. "Ding."

"Director Xu, I'm Nazha. Thank you for your reward. It's cold at night. Please pay more attention to your health and don't catch a cold." Looking at the messages on his phone, Xu Xin looked at Zheng Tulu across the table with some confusion.

Xu Zhi of Noodles:

"What did you and Hu Guang talk about?".?" Xu Zhi was a little confused:

"What? Just say that this money is a favor or a thank you, and it should be given to that girl. What's wrong?" Xu Xin was speechless and pushed the phone over.

Xu Zhi took one look and rolled his eyes:

"Donkey Ridi! It's just a thank you. It's a reward for barking. It's not a kitten or a puppy!" After hearing this, Xu Xin thought about it and replied:

"It's a thank you, not a reward. I'd like to express my gratitude to you. Thank you for your hard work. Go to bed early and don't reply." After answering, I deleted the phone number that was not even saved.

I plan to continue dealing with the bowl of instant noodles in front of me.

The house was so big that Xu Xin felt horrified, especially at night. It was in the wilderness. Without Xu Zhi to accompany him, he really didn't dare to live alone.

too big.

At the cocktail party one night, I drank a lot of wine but didn't eat much. I was really hungry.

As a result, as soon as I put down my phone, I saw Xu Zhi, a bastard, holding his own bucket of noodles and putting the noodles into his own bucket. As he was returning the noodles, he asked:

"Are we staying here tonight?" "Why don't you put it down! Put it down!"

"Ah, are you stingy? I've been your follower for a whole night, what's the point of eating half a bucket of noodles from you?"

"I'm still hungry! Day!. Just think about it, I won't eat anymore! Let's go back to the magic city and find a place to eat! This place can't live anymore!" He looked at his bucket of instant noodles and even the noodle soup.

Half the bowl was poured out, Xu Xin gritted his teeth and threw the fork on the table.

Xu Zhi was a little speechless.

Ke looked at the bucket of noodles and said, "Let's go. Is the table cleared?"

"No matter, there should be a waiter cleaning it, right? Let's go." Xu Xin, who had only taken two bites, got up first.

Xu Zhi nodded and followed him out, saying, "The aesthetics of the four major cities are very strange and golden." The two of them got in the car and headed towards the Magic City at night.

"What are you going to eat?"

"It's cold, why not eat hot pot? Bungalow hot pot, it tastes pretty good." "Yeah."

Leaning on the passenger seat, Xu Xin lit a cigarette and asked:

"How many people did you meet tonight?"

"There are quite a few, and I've saved all my phone numbers. When I say I'm your brother." "You're here!"

"Hahaha~" Xu Zhi shrugged:

"Anyway, I've said it all. It's quite honorable. Let's see if there are any opportunities for cooperation in the future." "Yeah."

Smashing it, he felt a little thirsty, so he opened the Land Rover's central console and planned to get a bottle of water from the car refrigerator. As soon as he opened it, he saw the same envelopes neatly stacked in the refrigerator.

He has become accustomed to it

Already.

Who doesn’t have tens of thousands of dollars in their car for emergencies these days?

Besides, the security here in Shanghai is so good, there shouldn't be many people smashing cars.

Taking out a bottle of water, Xu Xin looked at the darkness around him and said, "Stop when passing by the bank. Can I give you 20,000 yuan first?"

"Go away, are you short of tens of thousands of dollars?" Xu Zhi rolled his eyes: "Forty dollars to make up." "Forty dollars?" "Four hundred thousand!"

"I'm going to buy you a truck. Can I fill it up for you?" "Okay, then it's one or two hundred million, right? Hahahaha."

Just kidding, the car soon passed by a bank and drove towards Kunshan city without stopping. In the car, Xu Xin edited a text message and sent it to Yang Mi:

"I'm done here, and Xu Zhi and I are going back to the Demon City to find a place to eat."

"So fast?"

"Well, you haven't rested yet?"

"No, I'm playing games."

"Where's the child?"

"Fell asleep next to me."

"I met Tang Yan today. She tried to get close to me, and then she said she wanted to camp with you when she returns to Yanjing."

"I'll play the game first and wait until you come back to talk."
