This actor has something

Chapter 244 Flying a Kite

The milky white floor tiles were shiny and reflective, the black tables and bookshelves were spotlessly clean, and the documents on the table and the books on the bookshelf were neatly arranged.

He Daqi closed the door, walked to Zhou Huimin's boss chair, pulled it back, and then lay down comfortably.

Zhou Huimin is not in the office. It seems that the meeting next door has not ended yet.

He Daqi fiddled with his phone for a few seconds and clicked on the portal website.

There is nothing new in the entertainment industry.

The front-page headline was a report about me coming out of the airport yesterday.

[He Daqi urgently returns to the city, and there is suspected new progress in the sister-brother relationship. ]

He Daqi didn't even have the desire to click in to read it. As soon as he saw the two words "suspected", he knew that the media was talking nonsense again.

He continued to slide down.

Mainland newcomer Daolang's new album is a huge hit, and his unique style has sparked a new wave of popularity.

The lead singer of the band Mio Dot had an abnormal urine test in April and quit the band in mid-April. He has now been formally arrested.

[Zhou Xun and Wanwan's stylist Li Daqi are in a passionate relationship and were photographed behaving intimately.]

Wang Fei and Li Yapeng were staying together in a hotel. Neither party responded directly to the news of their relationship.

[New rumors about the casting of The Return of the Condor Heroes: Huang Nie is still undecided, and Li Yapeng has suddenly appeared.]

These were the news items on the front page of the entertainment channel. He Daqi was not familiar with any of them and was not very interested in reading them. Only the last two items caught his attention a little.

If nothing else, he knew Wang Fei. Last year, because of his two slaps, she broke up with Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi took over, so he was quite curious. Were the last two rumors just hype to let Li Yapeng compete for the role, or were they real rumors that just happened to coincide with the casting?

When I clicked on it, I saw that Wang Fei and Li Yapeng didn't seem to be hiding anything in the photo. It felt similar to the way He Daqi and Zhou Huimin were photographed. He Daqi immediately understood that these two people really had something going on, and it was probably about to be made public.

In other words, this is a true relationship and they just happened to encounter a casting?

He Daqi then clicked on the report on the casting of The Return of the Condor Heroes, and the first sentence at the beginning was: Zhang Da Huzi has stated more than once that He Daqi is the Yang Guo in his mind, but He Daqi's agent rejected it completely, so he could only regretfully hold an audition for the role of Yang Guo.

He Daqi raised his eyebrows. Anyone can come and take advantage of his popularity.

He instantly lost the mood to continue reading the news. He turned off his phone and put it in his pocket. He picked up the document on Zhou Huimin's desk and took a few glances at it. Then he found that it was an income report.

What surprised him a little was that this year, in addition to Tong Liya making huge profits, Reyiza also started to make a lot of money.

Out of curiosity, He Daqi rummaged through the table again and found Reyiza's detailed income report. He discovered that most of her income came from commercial performances, and there were also a few unknown small advertisements.

It’s strange, why did she suddenly take on so many commercial performances?
He Daqi thought about it for a moment and suddenly realized what was going on.

Rei Zha has become an adult this year!

Looking at this income report, He Daqi felt a little jealous. As a movie star, he didn't earn as much in a year as a young girl who had just reached adulthood could earn in a few months.

Damn! Is the income gap between actors and singers so big?
He Daqi sighed, threw away the income report, stood up from his boss chair and slowly walked out of the office.

In the small conference room, Liu Ying was still speaking passionately. I could only hear her tone, but not what she was saying.

Assuming that it would take some time to finish, He Daqi strolled to the Yonghui Qiming office area and found Ning Hao working hard in a corner on the west side.

Seeing him so absorbed, He Daqi patted his shoulder and quickly called out, "Brother, how are you doing?"

"Ouch! What the hell!" Ning Hao jumped up from the chair, turned around and looked at the cheerful He Daqi with disgust, then took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

"Why don't you walk without making any noise?" Ning Hao asked unhappily.

"It's obvious that you are too engrossed." He Daqi responded with a chuckle.

Ning Hao snorted, too lazy to pay attention to He Daqi, and sat down to continue working on the computer.

He Daqi dragged a chair over and sat next to him, watching him constantly adjusting the shooting clips on the computer.

After a while, He Daqi, who had somewhat understood what was going on, asked in surprise, "Brother, you've only been back a little over a week, right? And you've already edited out the general plot?"

Ning Hao didn't turn around, staring at the screen busy working, and responded, "It's still early. The rough cut is the fastest time. Your company employees can handle it first, and I can just splice it. The later part will be troublesome. Now I have to check it over several times every time I finish it. This speed is still slow."

He Daqi didn't ask Ning Hao when he would be able to complete the post-production of the film. He had seen Ning Hao doing post-production several times before, and compared with the past, Ning Hao was obviously much more careful and meticulous this time.

He Daqi is quite envious of Ning Hao, who keeps working hard for his dream. Although he is only the assistant director of his first work that can be shown on the big screen, he still devotes himself to the production.

Unlike myself, I just do whatever I can to get by, like a salted fish.

After watching for a while, while Ning Hao was stretching, feeling a little uncomfortable after sitting for so long, He Daqi asked, "Brother, how are your preparations for Balabala Little Magic Fairy going?"

Ning Hao stretched and moved his shoulders. After hearing what He Daqi said, he opened the drawer of his desk, took out a thick script and handed it to He Daqi.

"If you hadn't asked me, I would have almost forgotten. My wife has already sorted out the plot. We've shot four movies in a row, so there's a lot of plot. Take it back and take a look. We can discuss any questions later. You're pretty free now anyway, so you can take your time and read it."

"Okay, let me take a look first."

He Daqi took the script and didn't bother Ning Hao anymore, but just flipped through it.

He didn't say anything, and Ning Hao also wanted some peace and quiet. When other employees in the Yonghui Qiming office saw He Daqi here, it was not convenient for them to chat while working as usual.

The office area suddenly became quiet, with only the sounds of mouse clicking and keyboard typing. Even if there were people working together, they chose to whisper to each other because it was not suitable to speak loudly in this atmosphere.

He Daqi read for more than half an hour, but the script was too thick, so he only read less than one-eighth of it in such a short time.

But he had to stop because the door of the small conference room opened and Zhou Huimin led the way out.

He Daqi closed the script, said hello to Ning Hao, then stood up and walked towards Zhou Huimin happily.

Seeing Reba and Nazha happily walking out behind her, He Daqi even laughed and joked about the two little girls who had red tattoos on their foreheads: "Oh my! So ugly! What kind of aesthetic is this for today's primary school students?"

The two little girls immediately became unhappy, muttering that we were junior high school students, and were about to run over to beat He Daqi.

"Don't make trouble in the company!" Liu Ying whispered.

The two little girls stopped obediently, then stuck out their tongues at He Daqi angrily.

He Daqi made a face to annoy them, and was pushed by Zhou Huimin: "You can only play with children."

The two of them returned to Zhou Huimin's office, one after the other. Zhou Huimin noticed something was wrong as soon as she entered the room. She turned around and complained in disdain, "You didn't even bother to put the documents in order after you finished reading them? You didn't even push the boss chair in. The cleaning staff cleaned it so clean and tidy, and you let me mess around with it as if I'd been working here all day."

He Daqi did not respond, with an attitude of being on the chopping block. He dragged a chair to the opposite side of Zhou Huimin's desk, sat down, put the script on the desk and continued to read.

This is how pretentious people are. The more you ignore her, the more willing she is to get close to you.

Seeing that He Daqi didn't respond to her, Zhou Huimin came over and leaned against He Daqi, nudged him with her butt, and asked, "What script? Did you accept the role yourself?"

"Sister Xing has sorted out the plots of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth parts of Balabala the Fairies. I'm planning to finish reading it early and then discuss it with Ning Hao." He Daqi said as he flipped through the script.

"Are they all stapled together? Let me see." Zhou Huimin reached out and pulled the script away from He Daqi. After picking it up and breaking it a few times, she broke it into four pieces. She placed two of them back in front of He Daqi and sat down in the boss chair across from him. "Others had worked so hard to stick it together, and you broke it apart again," He Daqi muttered, then continued reading.

Zhou Huimin looked at him with a smile, and when she saw that he started reading the script again, she didn't say anything else. She tidied up the table first, and then started reading the script.

Zhou Huimin raised an eyebrow as she read, flipped to the end, looked up and asked doubtfully, "Is the sixth part the last one? You're not planning on filming any more?"

He Daqi was silent for a moment, nodded, and explained his thoughts to Zhou Huimin in detail: "Yes, Reba and Nazha are changing every day. Compared with the second part, their changes are already quite obvious, especially girls. They grow faster than boys at this stage. Compared with other young actors, their height has increased too fast, which makes them look rather abrupt. That's why I was so anxious to take four consecutive photos.
Another concern is about Ning Hao. I think he's quite talented. I promised him a script, and I figured once it was filmed, he'd become famous. Asking him to do a children's drama then would seem like a form of repayment. It would be better to just wrap up this children's drama this year, slowly work on post-production, and then release them one by one."

"You want to write a script for him?" Zhou Huimin asked. Without waiting for He Daqi to answer, she continued, "Then why not sign him up for a few directing contracts before "Miracle in Cell No. 7" is released? He did a really good job with "Miracle in Cell No. 7" this time. I saw that he was very serious when Du Qifeng was teaching him."

"Just signing a directing contract? Not signing with the company?"

Zhou Huimin shook her head: "No, it's not easy for the director to sign. Just look at Feng Kuazi, what he did to the Wang brothers. It's okay if he's not famous, but if he becomes famous, no one wants to work under him."

"Okay, whatever you want."

The two then discussed the plot of Balabala the Fairies. Zhou Huimin came up with a lot of ideas while chatting. No matter what He Daqi said, she wanted to express her opposition. It was as if she was going to make major changes to the script. He Daqi was so angry that he wanted to slap her on the butt.

Fortunately, Liu Ying's knock on the door saved Zhou Huimin.

"I've explained everything. Vivian, do you have any other instructions? If not, we can go back now."

Liu Ying came in and saw Zhou Huimin smiling brightly. Without thinking much, she waited for Zhou Huimin's response after she finished speaking.

"Let's go back!" Zhou Huimin came over and pushed He Daqi, who was a little drunk.

On the way back.

This time, Liu Ying did not sit in the same car with He Daqi and Zhou Huimin, and He Daqi did not sit with Zhou Huimin either. This time he sat in the passenger seat.

Zhou Huimin, Tong Liya, Reyi Zha, Jing Tian, ​​Reba and Nazha were sitting in the back row. The more girls there were, the more chatter they had.

Reba and Nazha stood on either side of Zhou Huimin and asked her why they didn't set off fireworks together during the Chinese New Year and why they moved out of the middle villa for no reason.

Liu Ying was not around, and no one was taking care of the two youngest ones. Zhou Huimin was now overwhelmed by the questions.

Tong Liya, the eldest sister of the girl group, was more reliable. Seeing the two little girls pulling Zhou Huimin to make a fuss, she gently slapped the back of the head from behind and said, "Stop making trouble. Sister Zhou was busy at that time. If you make trouble again, Sister Zhou will ignore you two little troublemakers in the future."

The thirteen-year-old girls started to get along well. Perhaps they felt that Tong Liya was too childish when she called herself a little troublemaker, so the two girls turned around, wrinkled their noses, and whimpered, refusing to give in.

"Sister Yaya is the little troublemaker!" Nazha

"No! Sister Yaya is a big troublemaker!"

Tong Liya reached out and poked each of their foreheads in amusement and anger, then felt unsatisfied and pinched the cheeks of another person.

When the convoy passed through the square, you could see groups of adults leading their children flying kites.

Someone was having some fun and released a seven or eight meter long dragon into the sky. He Daqi turned around and said with a smile: "Stop making noise, look, someone outside has released a dragon into the sky."

The six people at the back all crowded in front of the window to look out, and for a moment the car became quiet.

"Brother Daqi, how did they fly such a big kite into the sky?" Nazha asked He Daqi who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Reba beside her also looked at He Daqi eagerly. These two were the more obvious ones. He Daqi turned around and saw that except for the two of them, the remaining four were also looking at him with some curiosity.

He Daqi explained with a smile, "The square is windy. The difference between this kite and ordinary kites is the strength of the wind when they are released. Ordinary kites can be flown even when there is no wind, but this one can't. It can only fly when the wind is strong. Once it's in the sky, it doesn't matter. You just need to control the direction. But this girl can't fly it because it's too difficult to control. If a strong wind suddenly comes, this thing can pull her up into the sky."

"Brother Daqi, are you going back to the community this time? If so, let's go fly kites too?" Jing Tian asked while sitting in the last row.

"No, let Yaya take you out to play. Sister Zhou and I have something to do." He Daqi shook his head.

His refusal immediately made the younger girls dejected. They were counting on He Daqi to lead them in playing, but they didn't know how to fly a kite.

Zhou Huimin hugged Reba and Nazha in her arms and said with a smile, "You will be staying in Guangdong Province for a long time in the second half of the year. Didn't Xiao Liu say at the meeting that we will be shooting four films in a row this time? When the time comes, let Daqi take you to the beach to release the animals. The wind is strong there."

We talked and laughed all the way back to the gate of the villa.

The girls got out of the car, and Liu Ying, who was in the car behind, followed suit.

The convoy continued to drive and slowly arrived at the gate of the villa.

This time it was Zhou Huimin and He Daqi's turn to get off the car.

Those little girls didn’t know that their sister Zhou and brother Daqi actually lived in the same community as them.

It’s just that they go to school every day and never meet the two people living in the villa at the innermost part of the community.

As soon as she entered the door, Zhou Huimin ran towards the child.

She has learned to be smart now. She knows to hold a small toy in her hand first and then go in front of the children. She uses the colorful little toys to divert the attention of the two little guys, and then kisses, hugs and lifts them up high. Basically, the two little guys won't make too much noise.

He Daqi stood by with a smile on his face and put his fingers into his son's hands. The little guy held on tightly as if by reflex and was about to shake it back and forth.

Amused for a while.

Jingle Bell!
He Daqi's cell phone rang.

The sound instantly attracted the attention of the one in Zhou Huimin's arms and the one in the old lady's arms.

Seeing He Daqi take out his cell phone to answer the call, the two little guys became very anxious and stretched out their hands towards He Daqi, meaning that they wanted to play too.

"Come, you have one too." Zhou's mother smiled and took out two toy telephones from a pile of toys and put one in each of their hands.

Then the two little guys imitated He Daqi and put the toy telephone to their ears.

"Brother Xiao Ma, what's the matter?" He Daqi walked out of the villa with his mobile phone.

"Da Qi, don't forget that you will be giving a speech on stage as a representative of outstanding students this year. Also, the inspection this year is strict. Ask Jing Tian from your company to remember to participate in the military training. Just pretend. In previous years, the undergraduate class of the Performance Department always tried to ask for leave and not participate in the military training. Many people were dissatisfied. This time, the inspection will be stricter." Ma Yingjun instructed slowly.

"Okay, Ponyboy, I got it."

"There is one more thing. Is your company hiring this year? Last year, more than half of the employment problems were solved at once, so let me ask." Ma Yingjun heard that He Daqi was about to hang up the phone, and immediately said something hurriedly.

"Now? Isn't it June already? Are you about to graduate?" He Daqi raised his eyebrows.

"Nonsense, it's graduation season so you asked me to ask."

"Wait a minute, don't hang up yet, I need to ask someone else too." He Daqi covered the microphone and poked his head into the villa, shouting at Zhou Huimin, "Sister Zhou, are we still going to the Beijing Film Academy to recruit this year?"

Zhou Huimin handed the child to Mr. He and walked over to say, "We're hiring. We're hiring anyone who can graduate and work in post-production. We'll hire as many as we can. If your teachers have any recommended scripts or editors, you can ask them to go to Yonghui Qiming."

"Why are we hiring so many people?" He Daqi was a little puzzled.

"Just reply like this. Actually, we are not hiring. We just recruited them to our company first and will assign them to other companies later."
