Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 264 The Principle Worth a Billion
Integrity can belong to others or to oneself.

Since it's lost, we definitely need to look for it.

Shu Chang spoke with righteous indignation, after all, back on set that afternoon, Liu Jing patted her on the shoulder and said she had lost her integrity.

Liu Jing wasn't stupid; he could tell that Shu's singing was sarcastic.

"Go to hell, you're just here to cause trouble."

"Hey! You, Liu Jing, you really do have designs on my cousin. She's only nine years old, let's be decent people." Shu Chang said with a look of disdain.

"Silly girl, don't overdo it." Liu Jing was exhausted.

"Sigh! We all know you're a womanizer. Even Mr. Wang knows he can't be indiscriminate, you can't be worse than him, can you?" Shu Chang nudged Liu Jing with her shoulder and sat down next to him. "Let me tell you, don't let her being Xixi's classmate fool you, she's nothing like Zhou Yang. She's not a decent person, and she's got a lot of tricks up her sleeve. When she was at the Beijing Film Academy, she hooked up with a director. That director really liked her, he abandoned his family and career for her, giving her all sorts of resources. Before she even graduated, she hooked up with the film crew's photographer. She now calls herself a photography enthusiast, but actually, that photographer taught her. The director's lover noticed something was off and went to the film set to find her, catching her red-handed. The funny thing is, that film was actually recommended to her by that director. The two men got into a fight on set, even more intense than you and Mr. Wang's fight... Hey, why are you hitting me? I didn't say you two men were fighting over one woman."

"You can gossip all you want, but why drag me into it?" Liu Jing said, clearly displeased.

"Tch!" Shu Chang lost interest in gossip and snorted twice. "Anyway, she hooks up with one guy for every movie she films. These guys are all stepping stones for her to climb up. She just finished filming 'Our Youth Has Nowhere to Go' with Tong Dawei, and the two of them are really getting along. I heard she's hooked up with Chen Daoming too."

"I wasn't even thinking of opening the door," Liu Jing said, feeling more wronged than Dou E.
Sisi didn't like this classmate, so he also made sure to keep his distance.

When Jiang Yiyan knocked on the door, he intended to pretend he wasn't there, but his assistant opened the door right away.

"Does the door open by itself?" Shu Chang said disdainfully.

"Sigh..." Liu Jing was very frustrated; he didn't even believe this explanation himself.

"If she weren't Xixi's classmate, I wouldn't stop you. You're a normal man, it's perfectly normal to hook up with her. You don't lose anything, just a little physical exertion and a waste of protein. That woman is very manipulative and a real troublemaker. If you two have sex, she'll want everyone to know. What will happen to Xixi's reputation? You two will definitely have a fight. I'm doing this for everyone's sake, sigh, my good intentions are so hard to understand." Shu Chang was self-righteously moved, thinking, "What will happen to my reputation? I've thrown myself at you so many times, but you refuse, and you go for it the moment she knocks on my door."

Liu Jing glanced at him sideways, thinking, "Your values ​​are truly something else, unbelievable."

"That's how the entertainment industry is. Expecting you to be a chaste and virtuous woman is impossible. Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?" Shu Chang touched her face. Was it not clean enough? She had washed it many times, and it had taken two hours to clean the room.

ding dong...

Shu Chang suddenly stood up. "Is this never going to end?"

I'm right inside the house, and you still dare to come here?

She stormed out the door, her anger abruptly ceasing. "Uh! Who are you? Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, I've come to the wrong room." It was Old Wu who knocked on the door.

"Be more careful next time." Shu Chang had never dealt with Cheng Tian before, and seeing his lewd expression, she wanted to close the door immediately.

"This... this should be Liu Jing's room." Old Wu took two steps back, carefully checked the room number, and confirmed that he hadn't knocked on the wrong door.

He was puzzled. Shouldn't Jiang Yiyan be inside at this time? Why was it Shu Chang who opened the door?
"Mr. Wu, are you trying to set me up?" Liu Jing's expression was not good. He recognized the voice as soon as Old Wu opened his mouth.

"A honey trap?" Shu Chang thought about it again and realized it was true. Her eyes were very unfriendly.

When Liu Jing called out "Boss Wu," Shu Chang immediately knew who the sleazy man was—Boss Wu from Orange Sky.

Jiang Yiyan and Boss Wu's scandalous affair—how could she, a know-it-all, not know about it?

If she hadn't caused the disturbance, one can imagine what the scene inside would be like right now.

Liu Jing and Jiang Yiyan were disheveled when their boyfriends showed up at their door, which made things quite lively.

"Haha, brother, no wonder you're a former child star, life isn't a script." Boss Wu laughed.

Life is indeed not a script, but it's even more outrageous than a script.

Liu Jing sneered, his eyes even more hostile than Shu Chang's. "You dare to play me like this? I'll make you suffer even more than Little Wang."

Mr. Wu's smile vanished, and he quickly explained, "She's just a woman, someone to entertain you. A long night to pass the time, nothing more. I've come to talk to you about something important, so please don't misunderstand. Everyone knows I, Old Wu, am a man of honor; I would never stoop to such a trap. Forget Jiang Yiyan, if you want to mess with Chen Hao, I can have her come right now. If you want to mess with Fan Bingbing, it's just a matter of a phone call."

"Wow! Mr. Wu is so capable. He wants to mess with Fan Bingbing. Why don't you give him a call?" Shu Chang became interested.

Liu Jing squinted, a multitude of thoughts swirling in his mind.

"Let's go inside. It's not convenient to make a phone call from the doorway." Boss Wu smiled. As long as there's interest, things will be much easier.

He had tried to bribe Liu Jing privately to facilitate the deal, but was directly refused.

Golden Harvest is a joint-stock company, and the money used to acquire Mei Ya ultimately goes to Golden Harvest. The money belongs to Golden Harvest and doesn't end up in Liu Jing's pocket.

So he privately told Liu Jing, "Brother, if you facilitate this deal, I'll give you ten million as a 'tea money' fee. This money is between you and me, and nobody else knows."

He didn't expect Liu Jing to refuse so decisively, not even giving him a chance to slip him money. He couldn't believe there was such an idiot in the world.

Doing public work while earning private money, isn't that what should be done?

Liu Jing refused the money not because of any public or private matter, but simply because he didn't want to give others leverage over a few million.

Boss Wu noticed that Liu Jing was interested in Fan Xiaopang, and an idea came to his mind: the little guy couldn't forget Fan Xiaopang.

That makes things easier. He doesn't believe that giving Fan Xiaopang a few million would make her act like a chaste and virtuous woman.

He had also heard about the rumors between Fan Xiaopang and Liu Jing.

However, many of the rumors about Fan Xiaopang are false.

A few days ago, Fan Xiaopang posted two photos of himself swimming with Liu Jing online, only to be quickly refuted by Liu Yifei, becoming a laughing stock in the industry.

Liu Yifei said that many people swim in the ocean, but she didn't see them all cooperating on any projects.

Mr. Wu and Fan Xiaopang also had a rumored affair; he knew all too well the inside story.

Some of the news came from tabloids, while some was deliberately hyped up by Xiao Fan's team.

This woman has a reputation for being promiscuous, but is very proper in private. He spent a lot of money but still failed to get her.

As for spending more money, he couldn't bear to; why spend money to play with a woman?

"Please come in." Shu Chang stepped aside, and Liu Jing also took two steps back.

Boss Wu kept his word. Before he had even settled into his sofa, he made a phone call to Fan Xiaopang.

The call was answered quickly. After some pleasantries, Mr. Wu got down to business, "There's a business event I'd like to attend. Would you like to take it?"

Shu Chang held her breath, her expression full of excitement, especially after seeing Liu Jing's smiling face.

Mr. Wu glanced at her and muttered to himself, "Is this girl crazy? Why is she more excited about this than the two men are?"

Hehe, it seems there's something not quite pure between this god-sister and god-brother.

"Mr. Wu, it's always you who thinks of the girl when there's good news." Xiao Fan was very happy and didn't forget to ask, "What kind of event? How many days does it take? How much are they offering?"

"The event is simple, it won't take more than a few days, and the price is a flat three million." Mr. Wu was full of confidence. I'd like to see if I can sway you with money.

"The price isn't low, Mr. Wu, don't worry. My sister knows her place; you'll definitely get your share of the tea money. When? Send me the information, and I'll have my team discuss it." Xiao Fan was even happier; nobody turns down money.

Acting pay is only so much; business activities and endorsements are where the real money comes in.

"The time is uncertain, the activities are simple, you'll accompany a boss for a few days," Boss Wu said.

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end. "Mr. Wu, you know my rules. I don't earn money like this. You should find someone else, or I can introduce you to someone else."

“They specifically want you. Three million isn’t enough; we can raise it to five million.” Mr. Wu was determined to get you.

Liu Jing's smiling expression gradually relaxed.

"It's not about the money; I have principles too..."

"Ten million."

"Mr. Wu, I won't beat around the bush with you. I do care about money and want to make money. If I mention principles, you'll probably laugh and say, 'What principles do actors like us have?' If you offer a billion, I'll definitely go, I'll be with him for life. I'll be with anyone, let alone a person. If it's not that amount, we'll never talk about this again. That's my principle," Fan Xiaopang said bluntly.

"Heh, a billion? Are you kidding me?" Boss Wu was indeed mocking him. Was it gold or silver? Was it studded with diamonds?
“By adhering to this principle, some people can earn a billion yuan, and it’s very meaningful,” Xiao Fan responded.

"Someone wants you to make a billion? Are there really such idiots in this world?" Boss Wu didn't believe it at all. He would do anything if someone offered him a billion.

However, he believed that Xiao Fan was just being perfunctory and trying to inflate his own value.

Shu Chang chuckled, "There really is an idiot, right next to you."

Mr. Wu was embarrassed and felt that Shu Chang was mocking him. "It's better to be realistic. Don't you want to know who the other person is? Maybe you know him..."

"I'm sorry, it's better if I don't know. I need to rest now, goodnight Mr. Wu."

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Boss Wu sighed, "You know what kind of temper Fan Bingbing has, she's a bit disrespectful. If she knew it was you, she would definitely have been happy to take this order."

"They've already been very lenient." Liu Jing sighed, his heart filled with complex emotions. The principle of 1 billion yuan, the bottom line, could actually be quantified.

"Brother, don't be discouraged. The 'Red Cliff' production team just contacted me. They originally cast Tony Leung as Zhuge Liang, Chow Yun-fat as Zhou Yu, and Zhang Fengyi as Cao Cao. But the film has been delayed for too long, and Tony Leung has taken on other projects and can't participate anymore. That's why I quickly contacted you. How about you play Zhuge Liang? Opportunities to share the stage with Chow Yun-fat are rare." Boss Wu smoothly changed the subject, showing no sign of awkwardness.

"Mr. Wu, he already shared the stage with Chow Yun-fat more than ten years ago," Shu Chang reminded him.

"Haha, that's great! Two performances together, so many memories!" Mr. Wu laughed.

"Old Wu, acting is my side job, my main job is directing. I appreciate your kind offer, but I have several films to direct and don't have time to act in anything like Red Cliff." Liu Jing refused without hesitation. What a terrible movie. He could just let Zeng Li go and harvest bubbles; he wasn't going to join in the fun.

"The pay isn't low, it's 20 million." Boss Wu was still not giving up, he felt that this was giving Liu Jing a chance.

Money won't work, and the plan to use beauty has failed, so here's a big-budget production for you.

"Mr. Wu, I need to rest too. Goodnight." Liu Jing got up to see the guest off.

"Brother, think it over carefully. This is an opportunity. No other film in China has invested this much money." Mr. Wu said helplessly. He wasn't a beautiful woman and couldn't stay here forever.

boom……

"Tsk tsk, the principle of 1 billion, I've really seen something." Shu Chang's expression was strange, she didn't know what to say.

“You’ve already failed when the test begins,” Liu Jing sighed.

"She's really blatant about money, as if everything can be measured in money," Shu Chang mocked.

"Money represents resources for survival, and sex symbolizes opportunities for reproduction. Money and sex are the most basic driving forces in human society," Liu Jing remarked.

"I don't understand. Where were we just now?" Shu Chang wasn't that she didn't understand, but she didn't want to talk about Xiao Fan.

"I'm saying you're good-looking." Liu Jing composed himself. Fan Xiaopang was a distant memory; this person was the one beside him now.

“Of course, a lot of people say that.” Shu Chang said happily, then nudged Liu Jing with her shoulder. “Hey! You blockhead, my cousin is only nine years old, but she’s prettier than me, like a porcelain doll. When she grows up, she’ll definitely be a great beauty. Let me tell you…”

"Shut up! She's only nine years old, and you're already acting as a pimp? Are you even human?" Liu Jing was furious. He could forgive what he said earlier, as he had thought the same thing. But this kind of promotion of his cousin truly enraged him.

“I…” Shu Chang was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red.

She clenched her fists and punched Liu Jing, "You filthy man, you're the one who's a pimp, you're not even human..."

It seems there's been a misunderstanding!
Liu Jing grabbed Shu Chang's arm; at this moment, stamping the document was the best explanation.

The loud and boisterous little tiger quickly transformed into a gentle kitten, becoming as docile as could be.

Shu Chang is eloquent, but the goldfish she raises are clumsy and not clever at all.

Liu Jing took her swimming two laps, but she made little progress and just kept rushing around aimlessly.

After two laps, Shu Chang nestled in Liu Jing's arms and whispered, "My cousin wants to be an actress. She's already acted in a few movies. If you don't turn down the Spring Festival Gala invitation this year, you might see her. She has a children's song and dance program. I'm mentioning her to you not to pimp her out. If you ever need a child star for your film, help her out."

"We need a few child actors for 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.' I'll talk to Big Beard about it later." Liu Jing readily agreed; these things were no big deal to him.

With his abilities, it would only take him two or three years to promote someone to the second tier.

Whether they can become a top-tier team is truly a mystery.

"Yeah! Thank you."

Liu Jing was surprised. He had known Shu Chang for so many years and had rarely heard her say thank you.

What surprised him even more was that Shu Chang bit her lip and was about to take off his clothes.

"What do you want to do?" Liu Jing pressed Shu Chang's voice.

"You're helping me like this, I..."

"If you're going to do this just because I gave her resources, I don't want to accept it. I never take advantage of others in their time of need; I always prefer things to happen naturally." Liu Jingyi spoke sternly, but after saying this, he suddenly felt his perspective broaden and his character be elevated.

Thank goodness Tang Yan wasn't here, otherwise I could have strangled her with my long legs.

"Are you stupid? Who does she think she is, that I would use my body to exchange for resources for her? I'll just find an excuse to seduce you."

Liu Jing suddenly realized, "I was so naive. Sisi, it's not that I've wronged you, it's just that your sister is too cruel."

Shu Chang was grabbing at Liu Jing's body, not knowing how to take off his clothes.

Liu Jing was both amused and exasperated. Shouldn't a boy know how to undress a girl?

"What are you laughing at? I ruined your plans, so I'll make up for it with myself!" Shu Chang said angrily.

This girl's appearance and inner self are completely opposite.

He seems brave, but he's actually quite timid.

From afar, it looks like a man-eating flower; up close, it looks like a mimosa.

He acts like an experienced driver, but in practice he's a complete novice.

A rose with thorns on the outside, but an orchid on the inside.

Liu Jing stopped provoking her, otherwise Shu Chang would immediately turn into a coward.

“You have to film tomorrow, you have to get up at three or four in the morning.” Liu Jing was still quite considerate of Shu Chang, not wanting her to film while she was in poor health.

"You've come at just the right time. My scenes are wrapping up today, and I'm going back to Hengdian tomorrow. I still have one more film to do before the New Year," Shu Chang said, feeling quite annoyed.

If she had known Liu Jing was coming today, she definitely wouldn't have flown away tomorrow.

I can't change my ticket now because I've already negotiated the schedule with the film crew there.

However, even without these successive events, she wouldn't have thought about reverse sex at night.

"You really are a model worker, here's a lollipop for you." Liu Jing said with satisfaction.

If all nine members of the group were as dedicated as Fan Xiaopang and Shu Chang, that would be wonderful.

He admires model workers, especially those who achieve high quality and high rewards; these two are absolute exemplars. "How old are you, still trying to tempt me with snacks?" Shu Chang mocked.

As the battlefield shifted, Shu Chang suddenly chuckled, "You wouldn't let me lie on it this afternoon, but now you're taking the initiative to lift me up."

"You're really something, still paying attention to these things at a time like this." Liu Jing was speechless.

"I'm scared, I'm trying to distract myself. Xixi wasn't very nice of me, she didn't even tell me beforehand so I could prepare myself," Shu Chang said anxiously.

Liu Jing was speechless. How close must your relationship be for her to tell you something like this?

"Hey! What was Xixi's reaction back then?" Shu Chang asked, her expression a mixture of trepidation and curiosity.

In her view, the brother and sister's confrontation was bound to lead to something good.

Given Liu Jing's character, how could he possibly let such a beautiful woman remain untouched?

Given Sisi's domineering nature, now that she's made it clear, she'll definitely take over the territory and assert her sovereignty.

Shu Chang thought that Xi Xi had made a move, so she didn't hold back and followed suit.

"Isn't it inappropriate for you to talk about another woman at this time?" Liu Jing was very distressed. Why are all my entanglements more and more extreme than the last?

"Huh! Something's not right, there's a woman's scent on the bed." Shu Chang wrinkled her nose and sniffed around inside the blankets.

"Are you a dog?" Liu Jing pinched her nose.

"I'm going to report you to Xixi for cheating on her," Shu Chang threatened.

"Big sister, we're just having a little fun right now." Liu Jing pressed down on her, and the girl started to back down when things got serious.

Unfortunately, the war had already begun and the battlefield was already set up, leaving her no choice but to desert.

"That seems to be true." Shu Chang felt very uncomfortable. There was definitely no way to escape now, but how could she continue?

"You idiot."

"Why don't you tell me what Xixi did back then? I'm curious and want to learn some experience," Shu Chang said, hooking her arm around Liu Jing's neck and acting coquettishly.

"Actions speak louder than words. Today I'll teach you properly." Liu Jing grinned mischievously, launching a surprise attack.

Liu Jing cried out in pain. This girl must be a dog; she actually bit his neck.

Liu Jing was relieved; Little Wang had really suffered a loss by getting beaten up like that.

An hour later, it was only nine o'clock.

Night falls early in Liaodong, and everyone is already asleep.

The door to Liu Jing's room opened gently, and Shu Chang, like a thief, squeezed out little by little through the crack in the door.

She closed the door, leaned against the wall, and sneaked back to her room, baring her teeth.

When you're out and about, there are ears and eyes everywhere, and she knows very well how to avoid suspicion for the sake of her best friend's reputation.

They slipped away in the middle of the night, without anyone noticing.

If she stays overnight, she's not sure if she'll be able to get up early, and who knows who might find her then.

"Sisi, you said it yourself, we'll be best friends for life. I've been thinking, sworn sisters aren't strong enough. To help you achieve this wish, I'm willing to risk my life, sacrifice myself, and dedicate myself. That's the kind of sisterhood that's truly strong." Shu Chang muttered to herself, trying to bolster her courage.

Others are wise after the event, but she's like a pig after the event, feeling incredibly guilty.

Shu Chang was very careful, and didn't even disturb the motion-activated lights in the corridor, and returned to her room safely.

That night, Shu Chang had a dream. She dreamt that a fairy descended from the sky, chasing after her with a precious sword.

She revealed her true form; she was actually a fox spirit.

She ran and ran, through jungles, over mountains, and across the sea.

The fairy chased and chased, riding the clouds and mist, always above her.

Suddenly a rooster crowed, the sun rose, and she woke up immediately.

"Oh my god, I really shouldn't do anything wrong." Shu Chang gasped for breath; this dream felt so real.

She sat on the bed, stunned for a long time. "No, I can forgive myself for being sorry to Xixi, but if I were pregnant again, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself."

She quickly got up, let out a wail, and lay back down on the bed, saying, "Fine, it's big if it's big. I'm carrying this for Xixi."

Shu Chang rubbed her stomach, her expression a mixture of joy, tenderness, compassion, pain, and inner turmoil...

There's a reason why they're such good actors.

Even before she received formal training, her acting skills were already outstanding.

Such people, besides having talent, also have a different temperament and mental state than ordinary people.

Among these young actresses, Shu Chang isn't the most famous, but her acting skills absolutely surpass the rest.

Overwhelmed with emotion and a thousand sorrows, it all culminated in a sigh: "My child, from now on you can only call me Auntie."

If Sisi were here, she wouldn't feel betrayed by her best friend; she would only feel like she'd encountered a lunatic.

After talking about the child, the best friend started cursing the child's father, "Liu Jing, you scumbag. You took my body and didn't even come to visit me first thing in the morning."

She muttered to herself for a while, feeling anxious and uncertain, before making a phone call to her assistant. "Sister Fang, can you buy me some ointment? I... I bumped my knee. It's nothing, just a minor injury, a scrape. Why go to the hospital or get a tetanus shot? That's all, just buy some ointment. By the way, where's Liu Jing? Is he up yet? What? He was called away by the stage manager at 3 a.m.? Poor thing... Hahahaha... I'm fine, just gloating."

Liu Jing was unaware of Shu Chang's inner turmoil; at that moment, he too was full of complaints.

"Such a big boss, yet so vengeful." Liu Jing finished her makeup; it was already 5:30. The sky was just beginning to lighten; it gets dark and light early here.

He was woken up by the doorbell at 3:30 a.m.

Sisi has morning grumpiness, and so does Liu Jing. It's just that his biological clock wakes him up early in the morning.

At 3:30, his biological clock was still dormant, and he was artificially awakened.

"Who is it?" Liu Jing didn't want to answer, but the doorbell kept ringing.

He had already decided that if it were Shu Chang, he would definitely make sure she couldn't walk today.

If it's a newbie, you have to keep his bed warm for a month.

If it's Zhang Jiao, we'll send her back today.

If it were Jiang Yiyan, he would even beat up women.

He couldn't think of anyone else, after all, given his status, not just anyone could harass him.

"Teacher Liu Jing, this is Xiao He from the production team of 'Assembly'. We...we should get up and start filming." It was a young girl at the door, her voice barely daring to be loud.

If the executive producer hadn't given the order, she wouldn't have dared to knock on Liu Jing's door at this time, even if she had three times the courage.

She was nearby and watched how this person beat up the boss yesterday.

At the time, I thought, "So handsome, so majestic, so domineering, so charming..."

As for the boss being beaten, haha, if I dared to do it, I would have done it already.

"I'm not a teacher." Liu Jing said blankly. After thinking for a while, he realized that the cameo role was definitely a revenge by Little Wang.

He understood what was going on, and he wouldn't hold a grudge against a staff member.

"Then...then I'll come back in ten minutes," the little girl said timidly.

Ten minutes later, Liu Jing followed Xiao He to the film set in the dark and has been getting her makeup done ever since.

"Hey! Wine Immortal, what are you doing here?"

It was very cold early in the morning, and Liu Jing sat inside, stamping his feet to keep warm.

As he was walking around, someone recognized him.

Just by hearing the voice, before even seeing the person clearly, Liu Jing knew it was Wang Baoqiang.

"You have good eyesight." Liu Jing was surprised. With his makeup so heavy, even Shu Chang might not recognize him.

"I thought I had mistaken you for someone else, but it really is you." Wang Baoqiang was overjoyed.

His philosophy on friendship is based on how someone behaves after drinking. He believes that a person's character is reflected in their drinking behavior; if they don't cheat or cause trouble while drunk, they're a good friend.

"I arrived yesterday, but I didn't see you," Liu Jing said, puzzled.

He saw Li Chen yesterday, but not Wang Baoqiang.

Li Chen's antics left him speechless. He was clearly walking this way, but then he turned around and left.

Li Chen never appeared again after that.

"I went to the county to buy things and didn't get back until midnight. Are you dressed like this for a movie?" Wang Baoqiang asked curiously. Who would play which role had already been decided.

The filming was nearing its end, but he hadn't seen Liu Jing's name.

"I came here to take care of some business, and Little Wang conscripted me to make a cameo appearance in two scenes," Liu Jing explained.

"You and my boss have such a good relationship." Wang Baoqiang's envy was palpable.

“Now that you’re famous, you’ll have a great relationship with your boss.” Liu Jing remarked, “Our friendship is something we built through hard work; you can’t be envious of that.”

"Soldiers Sortie" was broadcast on Chongqing TV a few days ago, thanks to the efforts of Chunqiu.

It only sold a few million copies in its first run, but although it wasn't during prime time, the show became a hit.

The character Xu Sanduo has become even more popular than Sha Gen back then.

Several TV stations have already approached us for the second round of funding, offering higher prices than the first round, but still not exceeding ten million.

"Brother Zhang said that if it weren't for your efforts, this show would never have been broadcast on satellite TV," Wang Baoqiang said with a simple smile.

"You'll get even more offers to act in movies in the future, so keep up the good work," Liu Jing said with a smile.

"I've been working hard. I'll treat you to drinks tonight. If it weren't for you, this film would have been a disaster. If you ever need anything, I'll be there for you anytime," Wang Baoqiang said, patting his chest.

"Silly Gen, what are you standing there for? Go get ready!" Little Cannon yelled.

“I’m going right now…” Wang Baoqiang responded loudly and ran excitedly into the prop room.

After calling Wang Baoqiang away, Xiao Gangpao strolled over and asked, "Want a cigarette?"

"No, I don't smoke." Liu Jing shook his head, glancing at the cigarette. It wasn't Hua Zi, but Hai Zi.

"It's good not to smoke, it's good for your health. I can't quit, I'm a heavy smoker, don't mind me," Little Cannon laughed.

"Do as you please," Liu Jing said dismissively.

"It's not a big role, so it'll be a piece of cake for you..."

Feng Xiaogang smoked one smoke ring after another as he explained the play to Liu Jing.

His role was indeed small; he didn't even have a single line. He was just one of many soldiers.

During filming, two close-up shots will be shown, and these will be used as Easter eggs in promotional materials to guide viewers to discover them.

"Thank you for your cameo appearance. If you need my support in any future projects, just let me know," Little Cannon concluded.

"Okay." Liu Jing nodded. It's strange how directors all like to make cameo appearances. Big Beard is like that, Zhou Xiaowen is like that, Fatty Wang is like that, and this guy is like that too.

Little Cannon stubbed out his cigarette, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I heard that the first Spring Blossom Project is going to be held."

"Hmm!" Liu Jing nodded again. He felt that he had nothing to talk about with this director, and they couldn't connect on a deeper level.

"If the second edition is held, I'd love to show my support." Little Cannon was a little envious; Huayi didn't have that kind of boldness.

The hottest topic in the industry recently is not the release of "Soldiers Sortie" or the attention-grabbing "Curse of the Golden Flower", but the Spring Flower Project.

No company would spend tens of millions to hold such an event.

This is a major event in the directing world. Several directors on the organizing committee have gained considerable fame and their status in the industry as a result.

"That's great..." Liu Jing perked up, finally showing interest in continuing the conversation.

He was about to fall asleep after chatting with Little Cannon for a while.

Xiao Gangpao said he was just showing his support, but since the person actually came, he couldn't just let him sit in the audience.

The implication is that those who want to be members of the organizing committee, or even those aiming for the second term as chairman, are here.

With so many years of experience in directing, Xiao Gangpao has offered a lot of advice.

Two hours later, the fiery sun was high in the sky, and Liu Jing finished filming.

He removed his makeup, changed back into his own clothes, asked Little Cannon for a driver, and took him to the nearest pharmacy.

I bought some medicine and some breakfast before returning to the hotel.

He has a conscience; if he hadn't been called away early in the morning, he definitely would have gone to Shuchang's room.

I just took her body last night, I can't just ignore it.

Although it was only a preliminary attempt and I didn't dare to make any reckless moves, it was eventually smooth sailing.

Liu Jing rang the doorbell, and it took a good ten seconds before Shu Chang reluctantly replied, "Who is it?"

"Me," Liu Jing replied.

"Wait," Shu Chang said irritably. "You came at just the right time; I was applying ointment."

Liu Jing waited for two minutes before the door opened, complaining, "Why is it so slow? I could have crawled over here."

He was somewhat surprised, almost thinking he had come to the wrong place.

The room was very clean and tidy; compared to yesterday, it was like a completely different room.

"You're right, I crawled all the way here." Shu Chang rolled her eyes, but then felt a warmth in her heart as she looked at the bags in Liu Jing's hands.
