This actor has something

Chapter 281: Idiot Zhou Huimin
"Qi Zai, please help me. Stay on the red carpet for a while longer this time. I read the reports and people always say that you are a stunning beauty on the red carpet. Please don't give me a stunning beauty today."

"……understood."

After the hotel press conference ended, He Daqi and Zhou Huimin went to the cinema separately.

He Daqi and Zhou Xingxing walked in front in a luxury car, while Zhou Huimin followed behind in a nanny car.

This was agreed upon from the beginning.

Stephen Chow used all the tricks he could at the premiere. He creatively put together a scene where he and Ho Tai-kai walked the red carpet together, followed closely by Chow Wai-man and Wong Shing-yi.

On the one hand, he can take advantage of He Daqi's popularity, and on the other hand, he did not forget to promote Huang Shengyi, the new star girl.

After all, she was his senior sister, so He Daqi agreed after a little hesitation this morning. Helping to set up the ladder was not a big deal.

But I didn’t expect that today’s red carpet would have such a miraculous effect.

After all, Stephen Chow is old, and now he has a ruffian haircut, which makes him look even older.

When the two of them were standing in the middle of the red carpet, a group of reporters didn't have time to ask questions and just started taking pictures.

After a long while, probably having taken enough photos, a reporter finally asked, "Master Xing, as a senior in the industry, what do you think of Ho Ta-kai?"

Old-timer?
Zhou Xingxing was slightly stunned.

He smiled and glanced sideways at He Daqi calmly, and instantly understood what was going on.

Some miscalculation...

"Qi Zai is a very responsible actor, humble and has a very good relationship with everyone on the set. His acting skills are especially remarkable, and he is the one I trust the most on the set."

Few of them are true.

How could He Daqi not know what kind of person he is?
But he smiled quite humbly at this moment, as if Zhou Xingxing's words were a great encouragement to him.

"Da Qi, what do you think of Master Xing?"

"He's very demanding, has unusual standards for films, and his ideas are wildly imaginative and unconventional. Sometimes I feel like the word 'talented' isn't enough to describe him."

He Daqi watched the movie Kung Fu Master in the film library, so his current evaluation is somewhat from the heart. After all, for He Daqi now, there are really not many movies that he can watch over and over again without getting tired of it.

This was the longest time that He Daqi had ever stayed on the red carpet. He stood there for nearly ten minutes. Most of the time he just stood next to Stephen Chow and acted as a supporting role. He only answered one or two questions, which he did not answer because he could not push them away. Otherwise, he would have pushed them to Stephen Chow and asked him to answer.

When turning to walk towards the cinema, he caught a glimpse of Zhou Huimin leading the somewhat nervous Huang Shengyi onto the red carpet. He Daqi smiled and waved at Zhou Huimin, which immediately attracted another round of photos from the reporters.

Seeing Zhou Huimin waving in response, He Daqi did not wait there, but turned around and accompanied Zhou Xingxing into the cinema.

Zhou Xingxing really saw how popular He Daqi was today. As soon as the two of them stepped into the theater, Zhou Xingxing breathed a sigh of relief, tilted his head and smiled and said, "Thank you for today, Qizai."

He had been keeping an irregular schedule these past two days in order to arrange the release of the movie, and now that he had breathed a sigh of relief, his face looked a little haggard.

"It should."

He Daqi smiled, replied with three words and said nothing else. He stood motionless at the side of the door, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, indicating that Zhou Xingxing should go first.

Zhou Xingxing knew that He Daqi was waiting for Zhou Huimin. He was anxious to go in and see the venue, so he smiled and nodded, and did not accompany He Daqi, but went to the screening room first.

Five minutes passed.

Zhou Huimin walked in and saw He Daqi looking at his phone. She smiled and came over to him, took his arm, and leaned over to ask, "What are you looking at? You look so focused."

He Daqi didn't say anything, handed the phone to Zhou Huimin, and asked her to look at the message sent by Wang Rui.

"Cinema chain reform?" Zhou Huimin frowned slightly and began to read page by page.

The two of them stood at the door and started discussing it, leaving Huang Shengyi feeling a little helpless.

He Daqi looked up and noticed Huang Shengyi's discomfort, so he gently nudged Zhou Huimin and gave her a look.

"Let's talk after we go in."

"Well, Xiao Huang, come on, let's go in." Zhou Huimin greeted Huang Shengyi with a smile, then took He Daqi's arm and led the way into the screening room.

The couple didn't have time to chat with others. They asked the staff for their seats, then sat down hurriedly and started studying the message sent by Wang Rui together.

"The profit margins of cinemas are average, right? Why did Brother Rui send us so much information and ask for our opinions?"

"It's average for others, but not average for him. Don't worry. Not many people are exploring the market right now. It doesn't matter who comes first. Let's see how others invest first." Zhou Huimin looked at the phone seriously and responded without raising his head.

Seeing that she was studying so hard, He Daqi stopped disturbing her and looked around to see who had come today.

It was also a coincidence that I happened to make eye contact with Feng Kuazi.

So He Daqi watched helplessly as Feng dropped his pants and Fan Qiaoqiao ran towards him.

"Director Feng, congratulations! A World Without Thieves is a huge box office hit! It looks like it'll easily break 100 million."

This greeting really touched Feng Kuazi's sore spot, and her already bright face suddenly became even brighter, as if a flower had bloomed.

"Hahaha, not sure yet, not sure yet."

As he spoke, he sat down next to He Daqi.

He Daqi knew that he would not come to the temple for no reason, so he did not say anything and waited with a smile for Feng Kuazi to explain his purpose.

"Da Qi, I've got a script that I haven't adapted yet. It's a costume drama set during the Five Kingdoms and Ten Dynasties period. One of the main characters is a crown prince, and this role requires quite a bit of acting skill. Do you have any availability in the second half of next year?"

As soon as Feng Kuazi opened his mouth, He Daqi knew what movie he was talking about.

I had a lot of fun watching A World Without Thieves last time, so He Daqi took some time to watch Feng Kuazi's next movie.

How should I put it... It had a strong artistic flavor, which stunned He Daqi who was ready to watch a comedy. He really didn't expect Feng Kuazi to shoot a palace fighting drama.

Let him play the prince?

He Daqi recalled the plot and quickly shook his head to refuse.

"Director Feng, let's do it next time. I'll definitely act next time. It's just unfortunate that my schedule is a bit tight next year. It's not that I don't give him face, but he just happened to be able to do it. What do you think about this matter? How about we make a verbal agreement and wait for you to shoot..."

He Daqi stumbled at this point. He went into the film library and quickly browsed through all the movies Feng Kuazi had made. "After this costume drama is finished, I will definitely be in your next movie."

Feng Kuazi saw that He Daqi was speaking with sincerity, and he didn't know if he was fooling him. He was so cunning. He looked at Zhou Huimin next to He Daqi, who looked up when she heard He Daqi chatting with him, and immediately said cheerfully:

"Miss Zhou, you've heard what Daqi said. You'll have to be a witness when the time comes, otherwise he'll be so defensive when I come to him again. By the way, Miss Zhou, do you have any schedule in the second half of next year? There's a role for the queen in my movie that would be perfect for you."

Zhou Huimin blinked strangely. Why did he invite her?

She raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at He Daqi. She saw that He Daqi had given her a very covert wink. The couple were connected in heart. Zhou Huimin understood what He Daqi meant in an instant, so she smiled and refused:
"I'm sorry, Director Feng, I want to take a break next year and probably won't be taking any roles. Even if I do, it will only be a cameo. But I heard what Daqi said, and I can be your witness. If he doesn't go, you can come directly to Yonghui Qiming to find me, and I'll help him get a role in the name of the company."

"Then it's settled!"

Feng Kuazi, who had received the news, laughed so hard that he couldn't open his eyes. He sat there and chatted for a few words. Then he said hello and got up and left.

After he walked away, Zhou Huimin asked He Daqi, "Don't you want to film a costume drama?"

"How is that possible? Didn't I just finish filming a costume drama? I thought that since he had never filmed a costume drama before, his performance would be average, so I just refused directly." He Daqi made up an excuse.

"His movies are guaranteed to be box office hits. As long as you don't really want to work with him, the lead role in his movies is a pretty good resource, so it's best to take it if you can."

Seeing that Zhou Huimin was trying to persuade him seriously, He Daqi didn't say anything else, but just nodded and said "hmm".

Before the movie was shown, Stephen Chow prepared a lot of programs, including the Axe Gang group dance and a Hong Kong singer singing on stage.

As more and more stars came to support, the time slowly approached eight o'clock.

After Stephen Chow came on stage to express his gratitude again, the movie finally began.

Different from watching A World Without Thieves before, Chow Huimin obviously likes the nonsensical performance of Chow's comedy. Even the scene at the beginning of the movie where He Daqi shot Yang Rong down made Chow Huimin laugh.

Later on, things got out of control. Zhou Huimin laughed so hard that tears came out. Whenever she couldn't stop laughing, she would grab He Daqi's arm and beat him.

Poor He Daqi, not only could he not move, but he also had to laugh along with Zhou Huimin.

Because everyone's eyes were looking over here intentionally or unintentionally, if He Daqi didn't laugh with Zhou Huimin, and just let her stand there with her mouth open and laugh, Zhou Huimin would look like a fool laughing foolishly at the village entrance.

Oh! I never realized that Sister Zhou had such a low sense of humor before...

He Daqi, who has obviously seen this movie several times, now pretends to be watching it for the first time. He is always observing Zhou Huimin's reaction beside him. As soon as she gets angry, He Daqi immediately joins in and laughs.

By the time the movie was over, Chow Hui-min was so exhausted from laughing that she almost had no energy left.

The two of them greeted Stephen Chow, and Zhou Huimin hugged He Daqi's arm, as if she wanted to put all her weight on He Daqi, and hugged him especially tightly.

"I kind of regret not agreeing to let Stephen Chow act in this movie. I feel like Stephen Chow made this movie a classic."

"We've already finished filming, why are you regretting it? Do you know that you were laughing like an idiot just now?"

The temperature in Beijing had dropped completely in late December, especially now that it was past nine o'clock in the evening. Zhou Huimin preferred style to temperature. The evening breeze made her stick close to He Daqi and shiver.

Hearing He Daqi chirping at her, she didn't want to let go of He Daqi's arm, but she also didn't want to let He Daqi go like this, so she could only wrinkle her nose and say fiercely: "You are the one laughing like an idiot! Just wait, I will deal with you when we get home!"

Just after she finished speaking, she seemed to realize something and said hurriedly: "Don't just blame me, you have been laughing too!"

"I was afraid that others would laugh at you, so I laughed along." He Daqi wanted to pull his arm free, but failed after two attempts because Zhou Huimin was holding him too tightly.

He met Zhou Huimin's puzzled eyes, reached out to pull Zhou Huimin's arms apart, then took off his coat and put it on Zhou Huimin.

Then he held Zhou Huimin in his arms, and the two of them quickly walked out of the cinema.

If a reporter didn't seize the opportunity to shoot this kind of material that was delivered to his doorstep, he would have no professional ability. Amid the sound of shutter clicks, He Daqi hugged Zhou Huimin and got into the nanny car with a smile on his face.

"It's only a little after nine, the baby might not be asleep yet. Give mom a call and ask. If she's asleep, we'll go straight to the airport and not bother her. If she's not asleep, we'll change our flight and go back to see the baby first."

As soon as they got in the car, He Daqi said to Zhou Huimin.

After hearing what He Daqi said, Zhou Huimin also missed her child a little, so she immediately took out her cell phone and called Zhou's mother.

It’s a pity that the two children have already fallen asleep.

"How about we change the flight to tomorrow morning, get up early to see the kids, and then go to Wuxi Film and Television City." Zhou Huimin leaned into He Daqi's arms and hummed.

"If you miss the child, you can go back to the villa first. You can come back in a few days. I promised Brother Cheng Long that I would not delay the filming tomorrow. I can't go back on my word." He Daqi gently stroked her hair and said in a soft voice.

Zhou Huimin said without hesitation: "No."

When she was there, Cheng Long took He Daqi out for drinks every day. If she wasn't there, He Daqi might have partied until dawn.

"Xiaobai, go directly to the airport." Zhou Huimin instructed Bai Wei who was in the driver's seat.

"Ok."

The nanny car made a sharp turn and headed in a different direction.

……

the next day.

Looking at He Daqi who walked into the studio yawning, Cheng Long came over happily and patted He Daqi's arm.

"Qi Zai, you've worked so hard. After the shoot, I'll take you for a massage so you can relax."

He Daqi did not comment, smiled, and asked about the progress of the movie.

"Brother, are there no action scenes coming up? If not, let's work overtime. The sooner you finish filming, the sooner you can let the director do the post-production. This movie relies heavily on special effects, doesn't it?"

"Um...that's fine." Cheng Long nodded in agreement.

After watching Kung Fu and then looking back at Myth, He Daqi finds it difficult to comment.

The reported investments for these two films are similar, but the difference is obvious.

After experiencing the gift distribution incident in his own Room 7, He Daqi understood the difference too well.
