Chapter 66 064. Selected!
Xu Xin didn't drive.
Or he was really afraid that he would fall asleep on the road while driving.
So I took a taxi directly, got in the car and said "Shijia Hutong", and then closed my eyes.
He didn’t know how long he slept in a daze. He was shaken awake by the taxi driver, and after paying the money in a daze, he got out of the car and found out... This is not his home either.
Where did this person get me?
What's the license plate number...I have to complain to you...Oh, it's Shijia Hutong.
Seeing the street sign at the entrance of the alley, I suddenly remembered that I didn’t say the house number... It’s okay if the house is pulled here.
The cold wind at night did not refresh him.
On the contrary, there was a trace of impatient exhaustion.
He is so sleepy right now.
Burying his face in his coat, he walked like a drunk who had drunk too much. He opened his eyes in three steps in a daze, and walked to the door of the house in five steps. He took the key and opened the door and went back home directly. .
The lights are not turned on, and there is no need to turn on the lights.
Feeling in the dark, I returned to my bedroom. There was no such thing as taking a shower or washing my face... there was no such thing.
As soon as the charging plug of the mobile phone was plugged in, he arched under the quilt.
Then there was a squirm like an earthworm, and all clothes, pants, socks, and underpants were thrown to the ground.
The dark bedroom was completely silent.
…
"...I'm really, I'm calling you I'm your son!"
Hengdian.
After hearing the "shut down" notification tone again, the girl swears viciously...but the next second she suddenly patted her lips:
"Bah bah!"
"...well, I'm going to call you before you call me, I was raised by you!...um!"
Now the girl who felt more reasonable was satisfied, but when she saw herself in the mirror, her mentality collapsed again.
No big waves.
Her hair was straightened back again.
Then... At first I thought it was pretty, but the slanted bangs that I thought were disgusting when I thought about it until the afternoon also appeared...
Following the director's instructions, in order to get closer to Guo Xiang in the image design, Yang Mi changed her hairstyle, how does she feel, why is she so ugly in the mirror?
What shape is this?
She raised her head subconsciously...
The mentality collapsed even more.
This hairstyle and this angle look at my face like a tender cow...
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
Frustrated, she threw her head into the pillow, crying:
"I hate oblique bangs!! I hate Nenniu Wufang!!"
The cotton of the pillow absorbs all the sound…
At the end of the day, she seemed to feel that it was not enough, so she said something inexplicably:
"I hate you!!"
"Boom boom boom..."
There was a knock on the door.
Zeng Jia’s voice came from outside:
"Mimi, the director asked the actors to have a meal together."
"Hey, okay~"
In an instant, the girl whose face became as warm as a spring breeze responded, and walked out the door with her slippers on.
…
5 am.
Xu Xin turned on the phone, looked at the time, and then realized that he seemed to have slept for fifteen or six hours including yesterday's daytime.
Good guy.
It's not like I haven't stayed up all night before, but this is the first time I have encountered this situation.
Most importantly, he slept deeply.
If it wasn't for the bladder explosion, maybe I wouldn't wake up at this moment.
After waking up, I feel that my body is full of strength and my mind is fully nourished.
After taking a shower and fully awake, he picked up his phone to see if anyone had sent him a message yesterday... and saw a dozen unread text messages.
Except for the three pieces of information from mobile operators and the two pieces of daily WAP news, the rest are actually sent by Yang Mi.
"I've arrived in Hengdian, it's much warmer here than ours. I'll see Sister Immortal soon, do you want me to get you an autograph?"
"Two are fine, you should think about it carefully, as long as you can tell me the secret, it's a good deal~"
"Where are people? Shut down again?"
"Then you should rest first, and call me back when you see the message."
This is the morning message.
"? Why is your phone turned off all the time?"
"Did you lose your phone?"
"Hello, kind person who found the phone, if you see this message from me, please contact me and return the phone, there will be a reward."
It's noon.
Then it's evening.
"I called Director Yu, and Director Yu said you have gone home?"
"No, Xu Xin, are you so rude?"
"..."
"Goodbye! Call you again I'm a dog!"
…
"this…"
Xu Xin scratched his head.
Is this girl interested in me?
Are these few messages beyond the range of friends?
Obviously not a good friend... You...
Didn't expect to encounter such a thing so early in the morning, he was a little funny... and then felt a little unworthy.
It's not that I really don't deserve it, it's just a feeling.
Because he always felt that he was a scumbag.
Especially in that dreamlike dream.
Although it was just a dream, every time I think about those things in the dream, I feel... I'm really lucky that I didn't get a disease.
Yacht party, we promise not to mention anything on board after getting off the ship.
See the anchor, tens of thousands of dollars for a small anchor, one million for a big anchor...
Just like watching flowers on horseback, playing all over the sky.
Now that I think about it, it's really God's face that nothing happened.
Although it was just a dream, he still felt... Even in reality, if he didn't realize it at the beginning, he could still do it.
So he thought very simple.
Just be a good deed, don't be a little girl from the Huohuo family before taking care of yourself.
As a result, after reading these dozen messages, he felt a little strange.
But there was a special kind of restlessness in my strange heart.
And when I came back to my senses, I looked down...
"Nonsence!"
Spat, he rolled his eyes.
What do you want to scare people to death?
Amitabha Amen Amen.
Quickly collected his mood, he sent Yang Mi back a message:
"It's like this, the phone was not charged the night before, and then I was working the day before yesterday, and my phone had to be muted there. I worked all day, and when I was busy the night before, I found that the phone had been turned off. But I didn't rest the night before. , but stayed up all night, didn't finish work until five or six in the morning, and then slept in the office until after 9 am.
Later, when other colleagues came, I began to introduce my work results, and the leader gave some requirements and opinions. In the afternoon, I discussed this matter with another leader of the project and made a short video. It was already past 4 pm when I was done. I didn’t sleep much yesterday. I came out of the unit at 4 o’clock and fell asleep when I got in the taxi. I returned home in a daze last night and slept until now. I really didn't mean not to reply to your message. I'm sorry, then you saw the message and sent me a reply, and I'll apologize to you on the phone, okay? "
Because of the 80-character limit for short messages on mobile phones, he only sent 5 messages including punctuation and content.
After posting, I added another sentence:
"Don't be angry, if I get busy next time, I must tell you in advance. But I really need to mute the phone over there, otherwise it is inappropriate."
Sent successfully, but the other party did not reply.
Thinking about it is right, I must be sleeping right now.
He looked at the already bright sky outside, and put on a sportswear.
Just about to go out...suddenly turned back, and a text message came from my mobile phone:
"I went for a run without my phone."
Then walked out the door.
After running five kilometers, I walked slowly to the early shop and had breakfast. After returning home, there was a reply on my phone:
"You don't have to explain so much to me, I'm fine."
"It's okay, haha, why are you explaining so much to me?"
"Well, then I'll reciprocate."
"I went to Hengdian yesterday and asked for your autograph, and I got the autograph of Sister Shenxian. Do you want it? Exchange it with Mimi!"
"Secret, not honey!"
“Then it’s time to apply makeup and set the look.”
"Don't mention it, I'll feel bad if I mention it, you know? The image the director designed for me... well, this is also a secret, if you want to know it, you can trade it for the secret."
"Anyway, I don't like it very much. Really, I guess you must laugh at me if you want to see me."
"Let me give you a hint, Nenniu Wufang. Really, my heart is about to break."
"And then go to dinner at night... It's also pretty disgusting."
"Let me tell you, Huang Xiaoming is too pretentious. I went up to say hello to him, and I said hello, brother, I am Yang Mi, and I hope you can give me some advice. Guess what he said to me. He said to me: I I've seen your audition, you have to work hard, don't let me down, I suggest you to act."
"Bah! If I'm a newcomer who doesn't know anything, I might be grateful to him."
"Obviously it is operated by my company. Except for one person from Tang who was promoted with me, the remaining three people including me are all from our company."
"Tang Ren quit after he was promoted last year and went to shoot "Flying Immortals" with Hu Ge. Then the remaining three of us had an audition competition within the company, and I got the spot."
"I still nod to him and the director so that I can act... I'm really speechless, this is too easy to exploit."
"But there is no way, who makes him a "big guy", I have to toast him a few glasses of wine with a smile. Then... Let me tell you, Liu Tianxian looks cold, but he is actually quite considerate. Yesterday I listened to her chat with Director Yu and the bearded Zhang Jizhong in the evening, and there are all kinds of tricks in it, one after the other. She will definitely not be easy in the future!"
"I won't tell you, don't tell others when you see this after running, did you hear me?"
"Forgive you. Although I asked Director Yu what you guys were doing yesterday, Director Yu also told me to keep it secret..."
"I'm packing up and getting ready to go to the set, you work hard, I do too!"
How did this girl become a chatterbox on the crew?
Xu Xin is a little funny, after all, getting up early in the morning to send so many text messages, just thinking about it makes my fingers hurt.
Is this the master of the audition company vs. the high-end DOTA master?
love love love.
replied:
"Well, I'm also getting ready to go to work. These few text messages of yours contain too much information. I can't express my mood by typing. After you're done, let's talk on the phone. I'll talk to you when I'm done."
After posting, I thought about it and replied:
"come on!"
The other party also did not reply.
Xu Xin took another shower, changed his clothes, and took a taxi directly to the Olympic Building.
As a result, as soon as he arrived at the Olympic Building, he suddenly ran into Wei Lanfang coming out of the door.
"Sister Wei, good morning, why are you going?"
"Submit your design proposal... By the way, Xiao Xu."
Wei Lanfang stopped him:
"After a while, you may be on a business trip. Let me tell you in advance."
"…On business trip?"
Xu Xin was taken aback:
"Where are you going? Come on, Sister Wei, don't I still have work on hand? How can it be my turn to go on a business trip? I have only been here for two days... We are so short of people here?"
He was a little speechless.
This is contributing to the country.
Why did you suddenly let yourself go on a business trip?
Wei Lanfang was taken aback...
But a very strange smile appeared immediately.
"Really not going?"
"Let's not go. Although I don't know why, I don't think there is anything more important than making a creative plan right now? This torch should not be the final plan. After you report it, Sister Wei, I have to return it to the leaders. It must be more important than other things.”
"Hmm...that's fine, pretend I didn't say it."
For some reason, this sister's smile is even weirder.
Waved to Xu Xin:
"I go first."
"All right."
Saying goodbye to the other party, Xu Xin, who didn't take such trivial matters as a business trip seriously, took the elevator directly upstairs.
I didn't see Zhang Yimou today, but he was stopped by Fan Yue.
"Xiao Xu."
"Hey, Director Fan, tell me."
"I've finished talking to Haoyang. You, Xu Jin, and Liu Mingsheng are now officially in charge of the main torch design improvement project. Then, didn't you talk about using a gunpowder device yesterday? For safety reasons, you now start to set up an ignition The device simulation test is changed to the form of flame eruption."
Hearing this, Xu Xin subconsciously asked:
"In other words, build a real torch?"
"right."
Fan Yue nodded:
"But it's not one-to-one, it's a model, first get out the ignition device. In addition...you can try to optimize some details, or extend some other design ideas. Brainstorming. We have to test the ignition first, and then today There will also be two aerospace engineering engineers coming to your place... You will be in charge of the specific affairs of the main torch for the time being, and you will be directly responsible to me, understand?"
"Understand."
Xu Xin nodded vigorously:
"Don't worry, Director Fan, leave it to me."
"Well, let's go."
"come on!"
"Um!"
…
"Xu Xin!"
When they saw Liu Mingsheng and Xu Jin, their attitude towards Xu Xin obviously rose to a higher level.
Xu Xin can probably guess why.
But he didn't mention it, but looked at the two buddies with glasses.
"Li Li, Chen Jiahao, this is the engineer sent to us by Yu Gong, who is responsible for the ignition program simulation research and development and device design."
"Hello, both of you."
Xu Xin quickly reached out his hand.
Yu Gong is the technical master of the team, or... one of the ceilings of aerospace engineering technology in the entire Celestial Dynasty, Yu Luping, who is responsible for all technical problems in the Olympic public relations.
The other party is not the director, so everyone calls Yu Gong.
Now the five people, including Xu Xin, are the entire staff of this creative team.
It’s okay, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
After getting to know each other and confirming that Director Fan had also told these four people about the main torch design and ignition simulation experiment, the creative team held a brief meeting.
Decided to start with software and hardware.
Xu Jin went to work on the ignition device, and then spliced out a slightly larger torch shape to see the effect, and then Liu Mingsheng went to find a color screen to directly form a large surround screen. Li Li and Chen Jiahao were in charge of software design, and the other was improving the simple PPT made by Ma Wen.
As the designer of the project, although Xu Xin doesn't understand anything, it is no problem to do some leftovers.
Anyway, it is a group work, not so much hierarchy.
Dry and it's over.
So, everyone was busy separately, Xu Xin and Xu Jin went to find the board first, and before leaving, he did not forget to send Yang Mi a message:
"I'm getting busy."
…
In a blink of an eye, a day passed.
Xu Xin and Xu Jin spent the whole day outside. The two got materials from a workshop of Tiangong No. 4 Institute, which was specially assigned to Jiang Haoyang for the design of Olympic props. The workshop director received the order and called several technicians to come over to accept the instructions.
Xu Xin wore a safety helmet to communicate the colors of red and silver, and at the same time showed his own design drawings to the artists of the Fourth Institute, so that he could design on the computer a more exquisite auspicious cloud pattern than the sketches.
Then you have to worry about painting and welding the material.
Although it looks simple, there are actually quite a lot of trivial things.
After a busy day, I just finished designing the auspicious cloud pattern of Baba, and worked overtime to make a small sample with machine tools.
And several technicians did not leave work.
As soon as they heard that it was something about the Olympics, the fighting spirit of these people was ignited.
Especially after seeing the auspicious cloud pattern made by the machine tool, the two masters also said that the machine made it unnatural... Discuss with the artist to see if you want to come to a team tomorrow and make it by hand inlaying.
Xu Xin couldn't laugh or cry.
This is just a sample...
Who knew that this group of masters who had devoted their whole lives to the country's military and aerospace industry became serious when they heard this.
What to say, there is a saying in their industry, what is it called...beautiful is fighting power and so on.
Seeing their determination, Xu Xin felt more and more how heavy the burden was on his shoulders...
At the same time, I couldn't help thinking of one thing.
It’s just a creative group with the main torch...don’t care whether your own plan will be adopted in the end.
But it was just such a link, the pressure on his shoulders was so heavy.
That…
How much pressure did Director Zhang bear?
The expectation of more than one billion people...
National Expectations…
The world is focused on this attention...
Xu Xin felt a little out of breath just thinking about it.
But the other party...
"well…"
Sighed quietly, looking at the master worker who started to weld the template together, his eyes became a little straight.
…
Finally, the welded sample of auspicious cloud pattern props was combined with the propane fuel that Xu Jin went to get in the afternoon, which was used as the burning material of the Olympic flame.
The small sample is actually not high, only half a meter.
After putting the propane stove inside, and lighting the torch, a stream of flames spewed out and began to burn blazingly on the torch full of auspicious cloud patterns.
Xu Xin held the DV in his hand while shooting, and subconsciously looked at the scientific researchers who surrounded him.
Everyone knows that this thing is just a sample.
props.
is used for simulation.
However, after get off work, many people still did not leave, staying just for this scene.
It goes without saying that it is confidential.
Their own work is under the confidentiality regulations.
And stay to see, purely out of curiosity.
At first, Xu Xin thought so.
However, in the safe combustion test site of the workshop, it was already dark at this moment.
Only propane burns in the flame.
Xu Xin saw the expressions on each of their faces.
Everyone was staring at the flame in a daze.
Silence.
observe.
But everyone's eyes are shining with a kind of shining light.
Xu Xin didn't know if his expression was like this.
But he saw it.
From the eyes of these people, one can see a kind of excited expectation.
Twenty or thirty people.
The expectations of twenty or thirty people gathered together with this burning flame.
Burning blazingly.
And the auspicious clouds shrouded in the light and shadow appear colorful with the shaking of the sparks.
Like a dream.
The screen may only convey part of the DV.
But as a designer, Xu Xin himself feels at this moment...
So beautiful, so beautiful.
Finally, after the experiment was over, everyone applauded unanimously.
Flare combustion test, feasible.
A complete success!
But it doesn't mean the task can end.
Today is just sampling. Tomorrow, the spray-coated alloy aluminum plate composed according to the design ideas this afternoon has been painted and will be welded tomorrow.
And the official torch alloy material will bend the bow tomorrow.
Ordinary aluminum plate has too low ignition point, so it cannot be used as a building material for regular torches.
So there are still many things to prepare.
After all, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither are cows and horses born as cows and horses.
But as long as you find the right direction, you will not be far from success.
After leaving the institute, the two returned to the Olympic Building.
The eleventh and twelfth floors are still brightly lit.
Xu Xin and Xu Jin parted ways and went to the twelfth floor first.
Lights are on in the large conference room, but no one is there. On the contrary, there were voices in the small conference room.
He walked over and knocked on the door, and after hearing the sound of "come in" from inside, he opened the door.
A smell of smoke hits my face.
At first glance, several main creators are there.
Xu Xin said hello:
"Teachers, I took a picture of the lighting of the main torch, do you want to take a look?"
"oh?"
Zhang Wu's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the TV in the corner:
"Hurry up, let it out and have a look."
Xu Xin nodded, removed the tape from the DV, and inserted it into the projector.
Wang Chaoge at the side directly turned off the lights in the conference room.
Xu Xin was shooting with a handheld DV just now, so at the beginning of the screen, with the countdown of his "three two one" in the background sound, it was still a little shaken, but it stabilized immediately.
With a bang, the countdown ended and the flame was lit.
The auspicious cloud patterns and light of the main torch were slightly exposed on the screen, but after returning to normal, when watching the half-meter-high torch ignited, the beautiful texture and texture, these people in the dark showed a little Nodding expression.
Sure enough, no matter how you look at this torch, you feel comfortable no matter what.
That beauty...
It really has our own romantic feelings.
The ignition test lasted for more than three minutes.
Xu Xin only recorded for more than three minutes.
After watching the three-minute-long video quietly, everyone turned on the lights again.
Zhang Wu started to slap his thigh again:
"Xiao Xu, yes, this taste is really right!"
"Thank you, Director Zhang."
Xu Xin responded with a smile.
Then he looked at Zhang Yimou.
But seeing the other party frowned again, pinching his chin...
But at this moment, Zhang Yimou's mobile phone on the table began to vibrate, interrupting his train of thought.
After taking a look, he connected the phone:
"Hello, Xiao Wei."
I didn't know what was said on the phone, suddenly, Zhang Yimou was taken aback, and said:
"real?"
Then, after he glanced at Xu Xin, he asked again under the suspicious eyes of everyone:
"...When?...Okay, I understand. Xiao Xu is on my side, let me talk to him directly, let him prepare....Well, okay, that's it."
As soon as he heard that it was related to him, Xu Xin was also a little puzzled. After Zhang Yimou hung up the phone, he asked:
"Director Zhang, what's wrong?"
Zhang Yimou stared at him... suddenly said:
"You are selected."
"…ah?"
Xu Xin was taken aback again:
"What... was selected? The main torch?"
"No. It's a torch."
A smile slowly appeared on Zhang Yimou's face:
"After Xiaowei submitted your design plan today, the organizing committee called just now. The leaders of the main torch's plan haven't responded yet, but the review team likes your design drawing of the torch. I made a special call and told Xiao Wei that among the 388 torch design drawings received so far, yours can be shortlisted for re-evaluation, and I will let you make an appearance model in the next few days and submit it. You are ready to prepare. Make it real!"
"...???"
Xu Xin was dumbfounded.
"What... what re-evaluation?"
He didn't react a little bit.
"Design re-evaluation, Xiao Wei said that after you handed in this drawing, because it was sent over suddenly, he joined the team. After everyone saw your design drawing, design ideas and the concept drawing made by Ma Wen Finally, you got more than 80% of the votes in favor... becoming the fourth torch design officially shortlisted for re-evaluation! Then the leader here also just finished the approval, so he specially called Xiao Wei to send a notice...Congratulations, Xiao Xu, you are shortlisted."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Xu Xin was speechless, speechless.
Jaw-dropping.
Looked blankly at Zhang Yimou...
My mind went blank.
It was empty, only four words left...
Guangzong Yaozu.
Guangzong Yaozu.
Still **** Guangzong Yaozu...
Along with these four words, somehow, a picture appeared in his mind.
Entrance of Xujiawan Toll Station.
After my car passed the toll booth, it was stopped by a group of people.
pulled himself out of the car, someone yelled:
"Three golds are back! Folks, fight!"
Then…
Waist drums, flower fans, enthusiastic dances, and the excitement of gongs and drums and firecrackers...
The village chief brought a tall horse, and a group of people put a bright red flower on their chests and helped themselves onto the horse.
And then... so long, so long.
In the endless gongs and drums team, the suona, Shengxiao, which would only be played on the day of joy, sounded together, and the team began to move towards their home little by little.
The sleeve of the flower fan danced in mid-air accompanied by gongs and drums...
so gorgeous.
Subconsciously, his mouth was dry.
But I didn't find it...
In the eyes of everyone, his face has completely flushed red.
14,000 to send, continue to ask for monthly tickets! !
