Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 325 Teacher Chen Explodes
Sisi was furious. How dare you touch my face? Is that something you can do?

Fan Xiaopang shoved the USB drive at her, leaving her completely bewildered. What was that?

Whether you sleep well or have nightmares, what does it have to do with me?
If you've never done anything wrong in your life, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking at your door in the middle of the night. You must have done a lot of wrong things.

"What is this?" Sisi examined it from all angles. It was a Kingston, and it seemed to be a brand name product.

Fan Xiaopang couldn't answer her, so he handed over the USB drive, waved goodbye, and left gracefully.

"A pledge of allegiance." Liu Jing sighed, the scene seemed so familiar.

When "The Warlords" was being prepared last year, Fan Bingbing personally handed a USB drive to Zhang Min.

Now that "The Warlords" is in theaters, she has once again handed a USB drive to Sissi.

USB drives may be different, but they are the same in nature; they are both pledges of allegiance.

Sisi paused for a moment, but she wasn't some clueless little girl; she was a seasoned veteran who knew nothing. She quickly understood what she meant.

She fiddled with the USB drive in her hand, a meaningful smile appearing on her face.

What I need is an attitude, not these substantive pieces of evidence.

I may not have an opinion, but I have plenty of evidence.

You have your own attitude, so why should I care about these things?

These things were so easily obtained that she suddenly found herself less interested in them.

Fighting with others can be incredibly fun.

"Sister Bing, wait a moment," Qianqian called out.

"Is there anything else? I'm really not feeling well today." Fan Xiaopang sighed inwardly, "Is this never going to end? If it weren't for Liu Jing, I wouldn't even bother with you."

"Sister Bing, what is this? I don't quite understand." Sisi slowly stepped forward.

"My life has been one of wealth and glory." Fan Xiaopang took a deep breath. Money is hard to earn, and life is tough. Next, he'll probably be humiliated.
She was prepared for this; over the past year, she had endured countless insults online, and had become immune to them.

"Sister Bing, it's better to keep wealth and glory in your own hands." Qianqian took Fan Xiaopang's hand and returned the USB drive to its rightful owner.

Fan Xiaopang was stunned. What did that mean? Did he think these weren't enough and insisted on filming them himself?

“I was quite mischievous when I was little, probably around ten years old. One day, after watching too many martial arts dramas, I kept asking my mom to buy me a sword to play with. My mom didn't want to, afraid I'd hurt someone with it. Of course, I didn't want to either, and I cried and made a fuss. He even whittled a wooden sword with a kitchen knife, chipping the knife. He also wrote on the hilt, telling me it was the ancient famous sword Tai'a, forged by the swordsmiths Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang during the Spring and Autumn Period, a sword of great power. He taught me a lot through fun, and I've forgotten it all.” Qianqian looked serene, as if she had returned to the past, a warm smile on her face.

"Pfft, then he's wasted his breath." Fan Xiaopang laughed. With such feelings involved, who could snatch him away from you?

She glanced at Liu Jing. Was this something a nine-year-old would do? So clever from a young age. No. He'd been plotting against his older sister since he was little.

Liu Jing spread his hands. There was nothing he could do; that ugly girl was just that dull-witted back then. He was used to it.

Fan Xiaopang pursed his lips, already understanding what Qianqian was going to say. This person was both easy and difficult to deal with, and had a very strong personality.

Whether she's generous or stingy, at such a young age, her methods are in no way inferior to Zhang Min's.

Zhang Min used coercion and inducement, while Liu Yifei used a combination of kindness and threats.

"It wasn't a waste of breath. There's one scene I remember vividly. My dad often taught us that when handing something to someone, you must turn the dangerous end away from them and point the easy-to-hold end towards them. For example, with scissors, I would hold the sharp end and hand it to them with the loop on the back." Sisi seemed to be telling a story, gesturing with her hands as she did so.

"Uncle must be a very cultured person, no wonder you are all so outstanding," Fan Xiaopang exclaimed.

Liu Jing quietly gave a thumbs up, "You're a great straight man. You should go perform crosstalk at Deyun Society in the future."

"I pointed the sword tip at myself and handed the hilt to Mu Tou. That guy was wicked; he grabbed the hilt and gave it a sudden shove, stabbing me right here." Qianqian pointed to her chest, glaring fiercely at Liu Jing. "You always call me 'Little Steamed Bun,' it must have been you who stabbed me that time."

"That's really wicked." Fan Xiaopang's expression was strange. He's been teasing girls like this since he was a child. He's really a bad rascal.

"I chased him around three times, and in the end, I beat him up to vent my anger. He also had a lot of reasons, like giving someone the hilt of a sword is like handing them a handle, which will backfire. Then he explained a term, 'Tai'a held upside down.' I've remembered that idiom ever since." Xixi sighed, saying that there were many similar incidents, and she remembered a lot of allusions, each one quite profound.

Fan Xiaopang suddenly hugged Qianqian and whispered, "Thank you."

"Sister Bing, don't overestimate human nature, and don't overestimate me. You gave me this, thinking you could gain my complete trust. You told me such confidential information, openly and frankly, which shows you're not on guard against me. I can trust you now, but relationships are constantly changing. One day in the future, when our relationship deteriorates, this will be my weapon against you." Qianqian sighed, then continued, "When Mutou taught me swordsmanship, he once told me, 'Holding a sharp weapon, the desire to kill arises.' This USB drive is like the upside-down Tai'a sword. When I hold the hilt and point it at you, my desire to kill will also arise. Even if nothing happens, I'll want to stab you, because it's something I can easily do."

Fan Xiaopang remained silent. If there were any other way, who would do something that would give others a handle to use against them?

"Sister Bing, this USB drive is a constant test for me; it's like a hot potato. I hope you won't hand over something like this to anyone else in the future. Not everyone is Liu Yifei." Qianqian smiled. No wonder Zhang Min supported you so much; she probably had this too.

"Thank you," Fan Xiaopang said again, giving Qianqian a deep look. This woman's methods were even more sophisticated than Zhang Min's. Without making a sound, she subtly sowed discord between Qianqian and Zhang Min.

“Good night!”

"good night!"

This time, Fan Xiaopang was truly relieved, and his steps became much lighter.

Sisi breathed a sigh of relief, her obsession dissipated, she let go of her burden, and her expression became much more relaxed.

"You've been treating people to meals these past few days just to take photos. They handed the materials to you, so why did you give them back to her?"

Liu Jing sighed, "It really is a good show. I suddenly feel like I'm watching a power struggle drama."

"Yes! The moment she handed me the things, I suddenly felt utterly bored."

She sneered inwardly; handing it over so easily clearly meant these methods were useless.

Fan Xiaopang is not Liu Shishi, so such methods would probably be useless against Yang Mi.

"I told you long ago that it wasn't necessary," Liu Jing shook his head.

“No! It’s necessary, otherwise how can I understand myself and her?” Sisi shook her head. “Besides, I’m just idling around anyway, so I might as well find something to do.”

“Using such methods to control people is contrary to the right way.”

"But it's very useful, isn't it?"

"You women, I really don't understand." Liu Jing sighed. What kind of mentality is this? He didn't quite get it.

“If you understand women too well, life becomes meaningless.” Sisi chuckled, linking her arm with Liu Jing’s. “It’s better to keep some mystery; that keeps things fresh.”

"You're not letting me do that, so you're keeping it a secret?" Liu Jing guessed.

Sisi paused for a moment, then stepped on Liu Jing's instep. "Pervert, grotesque, filthy, disgusting, you can associate anything with that. Aren't you disgusting? Go find Fan Xiaopang, she can only let you play there."

"Someone is watching."

"Just look at it."

"You're not treating us to a meal tomorrow, are you?" Liu Jing asked with a smile.

"I won't invite her! I'll treat Liu Shishi to dinner when we get to Hengdian," Qianqian snorted.

"..." Liu Jing suddenly stopped.

"Look at you, you're not taking pictures this time." Sisi said irritably, "You really care about your junior sister."

"Don't film anymore," Liu Jing said earnestly, putting his arm around Qianqian.

"Hmm! I'm not filming anymore, it's boring. Liu Shishi is enough." Qianqian sighed, thinking that Little Lion was more fun, while Fan Xiaopang and Yang Mi were both more boring than the other.

"Why are you inviting her to dinner? You two aren't quite at the point where you're treating each other, are you?" Liu Jing asked, puzzled.

"Oh, I had a nude scene, you know. I asked her to be my body double, and she readily agreed," Sisi said with a grin.

"Holy crap, the one I found for you had a body double." Liu Jing exclaimed in shock.

“This costs money, but Liu Shishi doesn’t charge,” Qianqian explained.

"Sisi, can we find someone else to bully? We can't keep picking on one person at a time," Liu Jing sighed.

Sisi is bullying Liu Shishi, Yang Mi often bullies her, so why does everyone want to bully Liu Shishi? Isn't she a post-natal mature woman's body, but a pre-natal bullied body?
"I just mentioned it casually that day, who knew she would actually agree? I haven't even told you yet, which shows that this little bitch has ulterior motives." Sisi snorted, definitely trying to play the victim and gain her senior brother's sympathy.

Liu Jing looked at the setting sun, which lingered on the wall as if mocking him.

Before the harem was even established, palace intrigue was already taking shape. It wasn't easy for Ying Zheng.

Liu Jing's scenes in Yi County have all been filmed. The crew will move to Hengdian at the end of December to film scenes such as the drama in the Prince's Mansion and the demon hunters' monster-catching scenes.

As originally planned, Liu Jing left with his assistant the next day.

But he was still worried, so he stayed another day.

Liu Jing smiled wryly; Qianqian's acting was, to put it mildly, questionable. She was perfectly suited to her character, like a fish in water.

Scenes that are stunning can always be filmed in one take, action scenes usually take three or four takes, but dramatic scenes are a complete mess and often take seven or eight takes to get right.

Liu Jing had no choice but to leave. With the upcoming release of "Assembly", the two films were generating a lot of buzz.

"The Warlords" was released on December 12th, and grossed over 86 million yuan in its first five days.

The box office grossed over 16 million on Wednesday, over 15 million on Thursday, over 17 million on Friday, over 20 million on Saturday, and over 16 million on Sunday.

Liu Jing still has a strong box office appeal. With the popularity of "The Sacred Flame" still going strong, many people went to the cinema because of him.

The star power of the three brothers is only temporary; it only works when the film is first released.

As time went on, there was a trend of starting high and then declining.

Many viewers felt the plot was dark and the scenes of brothers killing each other were disturbing, resulting in a lack of emotional resonance.

The performance of "Assembly" was exactly the opposite, starting slowly but rising steadily.

"The Warlords" grossed 2.2 million yuan in mainland China, 2900 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, and 2000 million Hong Kong dollars in Japan and South Korea.

Liu Jing is one of the lead actors and has garnered nearly 190,000 views.

"Assembly" grossed 2.5 million yuan at the mainland box office and 2000 million yuan at the overseas box office.

Shu Chang is the female lead, and she also brings nearly 190,000 units of entertainment energy to Liu Jing.

The two films had similar box office figures, but "The Warlords" had an investment of several hundred million yuan, while "Assembly" had an investment of less than one hundred million yuan. They were completely different concepts.

In 2007, three of his films grossed over 200 million yuan, two of which involved Liu Jing. One was "The Sacred Flame," which he directed and starred in, and the other was "The Warlords." For a time, Liu Jing was regarded by the Chinese film industry as one of the most bankable male stars in mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

Cheng Long became even more attentive to Liu Jing, as he planned to launch the TV series "The Myth" and "The Myth II" simultaneously.

In addition to these two films, Fan Xiaopang's "Love Transfer" will be released at the end of the year, plus the entertainment atmosphere brought by "Kangmei's Love" every month, Liu Jing has 180 million entertainment influence.

With the current stats, it's already enough to upgrade another synergy.

But Liu Jing didn't want to use it; he wanted to save up ten million before leveling up himself.

In a society governed by the rule of law, not everyone needs to be physically strong; good health is sufficient, and being physically weak is also acceptable.

As for Sissi, she was, of course, an exception.
-
The candlelight flickered, illuminating the room.

On the large bed, a woman is massaging a man's back.

The man was Wang Sheng, shirtless, his bronze skin radiating power.

The woman was Pei Rong; with each push and press, her breasts were faintly visible, captivating all who saw them.

"Have you contacted him?" Wang Sheng suddenly asked. "No, you don't want him to come back, do you?" Pei Rong smiled.

"How could that be? If he comes back now, he can help me catch that heart-stealing guy." Wang Sheng laughed nonchalantly.

“I never imagined he would end up like this,” Pei Rong said with emotion.

“We’re already husband and wife, please ask him to stay.” Wang Sheng turned over, his abdominal muscles clearly defined, exuding a hormonal allure.

"Do you know? I worry about you every day," Pei Rong whispered, nestled against Wang Sheng's chest.

Wang Sheng pinned Pei Rong down and kissed her neck.

“Ugh…” Pei Rong cried out in pain.

"Cut! Liu Jing, you're a married couple, not exchanging cheek kisses." Chen Jiashang was both amused and exasperated. This scene had been filmed for almost an entire afternoon. He never expected that the dashing Young Master Jing would act like a complete novice when filming a bed scene.

She always performs flawlessly in dramatic scenes, capturing the emotions perfectly and expressing the emotions effectively.

But when the sex scene started, she seemed like a completely different person; she was flustered, clumsy, and had an awkward expression...

During the first shoot, Liu Jing flipped over and almost knocked Fan Xiaopang over.

During the second take, Liu Jing used too much force and bumped his forehead directly into Fan Xiaopang's chin, making the other person's eyes well up with tears.

On the third take, Liu Jing's lips were already on the other person's neck when he froze, completely stunned.

……

This was the seventh time Liu Jing's knee had collided with Xiao Fan's, and the other man's face was full of pain, so of course he had to call "cut."

This is Hengdian; the film crew has already moved here.

Liu Jing was very busy at the end of the year and didn't rejoin the crew until January 10th.

During his absence, filming was divided into two groups: one group filmed the demon hunters capturing monsters in the streets, and the other group filmed the scenes of Pei Rong and Xiao Wei in the royal palace.

Without Liu Jing around, the two women let go of their inhibitions and gave it their all.

It is said to be very exciting, often leaving everyone stunned and speechless.

Liu Jing was somewhat disappointed that he didn't have time to participate in the editing work and could only enjoy it when it was released.

"Are you alright?" Liu Jing didn't have time to pay attention to the director and quickly asked Xiao Fan.

Today we're filming a bed scene between Wang Sheng and his wife, which is a bit tough on him.

He was really uncomfortable filming a sex scene in front of a crowd of people.

This is the first time in my fifteen years in the industry that I've filmed such a sex scene.

"Big brother, where's your wild side in private?" Xiao Fan's voice was barely audible.

"There are too many people." Liu Jing said, somewhat annoyed.

Fan Xiaopang sounded resentful, making it seem like we weren't close at all, and like you were some kind of innocent person.

"Liu Jing, should we clear the set?" The director was also helpless.

Before Liu Jing could respond, someone shouted from the crowd, "Director, let him drink two ounces; alcohol emboldens cowards."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to him, their jaws practically dropping.

Sisi and Shuchang stood in the corner, arms around each other, looking excited, all that was missing was a handful of sunflower seeds.

Chen Jiashang slapped his forehead, utterly baffled. This Liu Yifei was truly bizarre; her man was filming a sex scene with another woman, and she quietly watched from the sidelines.

"Let me rest for ten minutes and catch my breath," Chen Jiashang said helplessly.

Fan Xiaopang pulled the blanket over himself, his spring-like figure disappearing. Many onlookers sighed with regret, thinking, "What an alluring beauty! If Liu Jing isn't good enough, I can have her."

"Silly girl, what brings you here?" Liu Jing strode forward aggressively. The one who had just told him to drink two ounces of liquor was none other than Shu Chang.

"Is this your home?" Shu Chang rolled her eyes. Damn little thief, he's been in Hengdian for days and hasn't even come to visit me.

Liu Jing grabbed Shu Chang by the neck, and Shu Chang quickly changed her tune, "This is your home, let's talk this out."

"Weren't you supposed to join the crew the day after tomorrow? Why are you joining earlier?" Liu Jing asked, puzzled.

Xixi is even busier than Liu Jing. She has to attend various events at the end of the year and also go back to her hometown of Jiangcheng.

This year, she spent the Lunar New Year in the United States with Liu Jing, and she was filming on set until the end of the year. So, taking advantage of the time, she returned to Jiangcheng early to visit her grandparents and maternal grandmother.

“There wasn’t much going on back home, so I went back to Yandu to take a look. Then, feeling bored, Changchang and I drove here.” Qianqian replied.

"Driving yourself? You two are really something."

"We're both experienced drivers, we got our licenses earlier than you, you're just a newbie who can't even drive on the highway," Shu Chang teased.

Liu Jing felt a little guilty, as he frequently drove on the highway.

"Oh, right! Sister Tao is pregnant..."

"It has nothing to do with me," Liu Jing quickly stated.

Sisi gasped for breath, almost choking, "I didn't have any doubts before, but now I have no choice but to have them."

"Sisi, don't doubt it. He doesn't have the time or the opportunity." Shu Chang rarely spoke a fair word.

"That's true." Sisi just said it casually. Liu Tao's whirlwind marriage had nothing to do with Mu Tou.

"Liu Tao has finally made it. She's one of the Four Young Masters of Beijing. Her husband is better than Jia Jingwen's husband," Shu Chang remarked with emotion.

“We were chatting the day before yesterday, and she said she was planning to retire from the film and television industry and focus on being a wife and mother at home.”

"Women are all like this in the end. Having children and not having children are completely different states."

"You two should go back to the hotel and talk. This is really boring. You've already attended her wedding, and now you're waiting for her full moon celebration?" Liu Jing mocked.

"There's nothing I can do. If you don't participate in these social interactions, I have no choice but to bite the bullet and do it." Qianqian shrugged. She was used to it. Whenever someone held a wedding, Liu Jing would always send a gift but not show up in person.

However, Liu Jing never missed any funerals in any family.

"Hurry up and film your scene, stop chatting with us. If you really can't handle it, have a couple of ounces of Erguotou. Just don't drink too much, it's a live performance, we can't stop you." Shu Chang gave Liu Jing a push, hurry up and film the bed scene, we're waiting to enjoy it.

"Liu Jing, are you feeling better? Your beautiful wife can't wait any longer," Chen Jiashang joked.

"Director, I'm not in a hurry. I'm afraid you'll be. Let's give him two ounces of liquor instead," Fan Xiaopang said with a smile.

"Liu Jing, catch!" Donnie Yen, his makeup disheveled, laughed and tossed over a gourd of wine.

"Bang!" Liu Jing caught it steadily in his hand, speechless. "Brother Zhen, you're really obedient."

"Haha, this is new, I haven't drunk any. Lend me a pot of wine, you can buy me a bottle tonight." Donnie Yen laughed.

He understands Liu Jing very well. Martial arts stars, regardless of their private lives, don't often act in love scenes, passionate scenes, bed scenes, or sex scenes.

First, the audience isn't used to it, and second, we ourselves aren't used to it either.

Liu Jing unscrewed the spout, took a sniff, and said, "You really do drink alcohol, and... um... it's strong liquor."

"I just filled it for you; I think you need the whole thing," Donnie Yen said with a smile.

"Liu Jing, hurry up and drink. You're an old actor, what are you filming?" Chen Jiashang urged.

Liu Jing had no choice. This pot wasn't much, only a little over two ounces, and he drank it all in one gulp.

He tossed the gourd of wine to Donnie Yen, wiped his mouth, and said, "Director, we'll start in five minutes. Let me get into character."

Five minutes later, it did start, but the scene wasn't finished until fifty minutes later.

Sisi stood to the side, but even two ounces of wine had no effect.

Shu Chang noticed this and pulled her reluctant sister away.

"Phew, Liu Jing, this is exhausting. Filming your bed scenes is more tiring than filming battlefield scenes." Cinematographer Huang Yuetai lamented that when filming "The Warlords," Li Lianjie's passionate scenes took two days to film, and they ended up paying the stunt double a lot more money.

"It's snowing! It's snowing..." came Shu Chang's excited voice from outside.

"Wood, it's snowing!" Fan Xiaopang's eyes lit up. She loved snow, and she could have a snowball fight later.

"Tsk! It's snowing!" Chen Jiashang looked worried. There has been heavy snow in many parts of the south recently. I wonder if Hengdian will also be closed due to the heavy snow.

"It's snowing," Donnie Yen murmured, then shouted to the director, "Director, let's have hot pot tonight, include me!"

Chen Jiashang pointed at Donnie Yen, both amused and exasperated, saying, "If you want to eat hot pot, just say so. What do you mean by adding one or not?"

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and by the time Liu Jing and Fan Xiaopang came out after removing their makeup, everything was covered in white.

The director reluctantly announced that tomorrow would be a day off, and everyone cheered.

Newly brewed wine, green as ants; a small red clay stove, glowing with warmth. Evening approaches, and snow threatens; shall we share a cup?

Of course!
At night, instead of a small stove, we have a big hot pot.

Five men and four women sat around the stove; how could they not have a little wine?

The five men are Chen Jiashang, Huang Yuetai, Donnie Yen, Jin Song, and Liu Jing, and the four women are Xixi, Fan Xiaopang, Sun Li, and Shu Chang.

Besides singing, everyone often has a couple of drinks after work.

After a few drinks, the atmosphere became lively.

Thinking about Liu Jing's filming that afternoon, Chen Jiashang couldn't help but say, "You action stars are quick at fighting, and you're ready to take action if you don't get along with someone. But when it comes to filming a romantic scene, you're all so hesitant and indecisive."

"Director, we don't really like fighting. If we don't see eye to eye, we can just turn around and leave; there's no need for a fight," Donnie Yen disagreed.

"Come on! Back then, you and Joey Meng went to a bar and you took on eight people, sending them all to the hospital. If it weren't for Chan Wai-man's intervention, you would have been in serious trouble." Chan Ka-shang said irritably, "What are you pretending for in front of me? I know all too well what kind of people you action stars are."

"I've already drunk a whole pot." Donnie Yen downed a glass of wine, his expression not very good.

"Wow! I heard it's ten?" Shu Chang's eyes lit up. She was indeed a know-it-all, but there were many things she didn't know.

"Back then, I was young and hot-blooded, and I was really daring to fight with eight or ten guys. Now that I'm older, I just avoid fights when I see them," Donnie Yen joked.

"I'm still young, I'm just here to see what's going on," Shu Chang said with a grin.

"Liu Jing is filming a movie, and you're on the front lines watching the fun. You're something else," Fan Xiaopang complained, his eyes practically popping out of her chest.

She and Shu Chang had known each other for a long time, had collaborated a few years ago, and had a decent relationship.

The group chatted and laughed, and Chen Jiashang, after a few drinks, was in high spirits. Shu Chang, this know-it-all, had bought quite a few goods from him.

Sisi didn't participate, she kept scrolling through her phone, tugged at Liu Jing's arm, and whispered, "Hey, look..."

Liu Jing glanced at it, initially unconcerned, but suddenly shuddered, "Holy crap, Ah Jiao, where did she come from?"

Sisi immediately became alert, her eyes flashing with hostility. "This picture doesn't show her face, how do you know it's her?"
