This actor has something

Chapter 303: Taking charge of the family
The weather hasn't warmed up yet, and the perceived temperature isn't high.

He Daqi lay comfortably on a nylon recliner, holding a cup of hot juice in his hand, which served as both a hand warmer and a place to enjoy a sip from time to time.

Special effects blockbusters are still in the early stages for South Korea right now. It's like a beginner starting out; no matter what you do, you'll stumble and fall.

This was great for He Daqi. He felt this was the most comfortable movie he had made since he traveled back in time. Filming was done in fits and starts, and the special effects team had to hold meetings with the director and screenwriter every now and then.

Sometimes being too idle isn't good, especially since there's no internet access on mobile phones here. He Daqi has even started reading books these past few days out of boredom.

Part of the film studio is located on the banks of the Han River, and the scenes being filmed these past few days are the first appearance of the monster and the protagonist's escape.

Ever since He Daqi had a stroke of luck and caught a big fish last time, he has been longing to go fishing again. Now he spends every day by the river, and he often takes a stroll along the shore when he has nothing else to do.

Fortunately, he still had some principles and didn't actually bring over a set of fishing gear to try it out.

Otherwise, while others are busy filming, he's leisurely fishing on the sidelines. It's a bit too embarrassing. Even if he has a lot of free time, he shouldn't do that.

That's the problem with hobbies; the more unattainable they are, the more you crave them.

It's like having a stunningly beautiful woman dressed scantily clad lying next to you in the dark, but being told that you can only use a rubber band to break the glass and can't do anything else. Isn't that making things difficult for you?

Looking at the Han River, He Daqi felt a sense of longing. He put the juice aside, picked up the fishing technique book he had just bought, and flipped through it while thinking about how he should bait the area and what kind of fishing rod he should use if he could catch a fish right now.

"Hey, the director called."

A young white man interrupted He Daqi's fantasy.

He's a very friendly young man. On his first day on set, he warmly touched Lin Jie's hand with his face, which was incredibly endearing.

This guy's name is David. He's from Canada. I don't know what he was thinking, but he came to South Korea to develop his career.

In David's own words, the gist of it is that the performing arts industry in Canada is so-so, and the neighboring United States is too arrogant, so he wanted to find another way. He heard that white people in South Korea are treated like fathers, so he wanted to come and experience it for himself.

You won't know how awesome it is until you try it.

David, a little karaoke boy in Canada and the United States, quickly found happiness with his family after arriving in South Korea.

Not only did he receive a constant stream of film offers, but he also had a group of devoted sons and daughters helping him plan his future, making David exclaim that South Korea was simply paradise.

He's been here for two years and hasn't learned anything else, but he's become incredibly fluent at swearing "shiba." Every time he swears "shiba" and sees the panicked looks on the faces of his Korean grandchildren, it gives him a sense of returning to the joy of his ancestors when they first arrived in the New World, holding a whip and directing the farm tools to pick cotton.

Until he joined the cast of The Host and met He Daqi...

Seeing He Daqi lounging in his recliner like a big shot every day, young David walked up to He Daqi with his nose in the air. He had barely uttered a familiar curse when he was slapped across the face and sent spinning twice.

Lin Jie, who was standing next to He Daqi at the time, waved his hand dismissively and muttered, "Damn, this foreigner is really shameless."

David lay on the ground, bewildered, and looked around. He noticed that his usually obsequious and respectful sons and grandsons were now avoiding his gaze. He instantly realized that he had used his private car to stage an accident involving the T-14 "Armata".

Who said white people are single-minded?

Anyway, David isn't that kind of person.

When He Daqi pretended to help him up and asked him how he accidentally slipped on flat ground, David nodded without hesitation and complained that the Korean staff of the "Han River Host" crew were not serious enough, causing him to slip on a banana peel.

He Daqi quickly became acquainted with David with his fluent Canadian English. He was quite bored, so he chatted with David, who had just joined the film crew, for a long time.

She even went out of her way to get an ice pack for David to hold and apply to his face for a cold compress. Only after seeing that the swelling on David's face had gone down did she happily continue to lie on the recliner and leisurely close her eyes.

From that day on, He Daqi had a white friend from Canada.

Look how friendly the new friend is; he even knows to come and let He Daqi know it's time to go to work.

Unfortunately, the new actor's performance was really mediocre, especially lacking in conviction.

They're filming a really exciting scene from the movie right now.

The protagonist and the bald eagle soldier together used the pole of a parasol-like structure wrapped around a stone block to smash the monster's tail. While the monster howled in pain, the two bewildered soldiers didn't react in time and stood there stunned. As a result, the bald eagle soldier was bitten to death by the monster.

In this scene, David's expression was either not right or too exaggerated, which made Bong Joon-ho so angry that he wanted to curse. After seven or eight takes, it was finally passed with a passable result.

We only filmed this one shot all morning; it was David's final scene.

So He Daqi's new friend, whom he had only known for a few days, finished filming and left the crew.

He Daqi is a man who values ​​loyalty and affection but is not good with words. He didn't even see David off when he left. However, I believe his new friends will understand him. As I said, He Daqi values ​​loyalty and affection but is not good with words.

……

"Noona, why have you been looking so gloomy these past few days? Is it because the food on set isn't good? If you ask me, women should be tough on themselves. What's a loan? Throw it aside. Eat when you're hungry, drink when you're thirsty, and enjoy the moment. That's the most important thing."

He Daqi, who had just returned from finding food outside, saw Sun Yizhen holding a lunchbox and looking worried. He came over with a grin and started chatting.

Sun Yizhen rolled her eyes at him and replied, "It has nothing to do with the loan."

Then, ignoring He Daqi sitting happily next to her, she quickly ate her boxed lunch. Before long, she finished the remaining kimchi and rice, and walked towards the trash can with the lunchbox.

"Tch! What else could it be if not because of a loan?" He Daqi smacked his lips and muttered under his breath after being given a disdainful look.

The production was progressing slowly, so the actors were also quite lethargic.

Unlike the high spirits they had on the first day of work, the group is now forced into a slower pace of life.

Even the lunch break has been luxuriously extended to two hours.

Unfortunately, it was still a bit cold, and the nanny van wasn't around, otherwise He Daqi would have taken a nap at noon.

"Dae-ki oppa! Could you sign a few more autographs for me? A few of my classmates also want them."

"Call me Dad, or I won't sign."

"No!" the young girl who played He Daqi's daughter in the movie said angrily.

Then she came over and shook He Daqi's arm, without saying a word, pouting and looking at He Daqi expectantly.

Sun Yizhen, who had just finished throwing out the trash, strolled back and saw this scene. She covered her mouth and chuckled, teasingly saying, "Daqi, you've really made something of yourself now, even getting into a fight with a young girl." As she spoke, she sat down and pulled Gao Yaxing, who played the lead actress's daughter, to her side, comforting her with a smile, "Don't bother with him, he's just a jerk."

"Noona." He Daqi called out lazily, then glared at Sun Yizhen and argued, "Does that mean I'm a jerk if I don't give this girl an autograph? She comes over every day asking for seven or eight photos. She's taken all the photos I brought from China. I was just about to tell her I didn't have any more photos, and you just sentenced me to prison."

"Is it true?" Son Ye-jin asked Go Ah-sung with a smile.

Gao Yaxing stuck out her tongue, chuckled, and remained silent, her meaning self-evident.

"You little rascal." Son Ye-jin gently tapped Go Ah-sung's forehead.

At this moment, a flock of wild ducks came downstream from the upper reaches of the Han River, huddled together and called out slowly. Everyone's attention was drawn to them as they watched the wild ducks leisurely playing in the water.

The ice had melted for some time, and the river was no longer as turbulent as before. The afternoon sun made the river water shimmer with sparkling light, and a gentle breeze stirred, causing the tender willows on the bank to rub back and forth in the reflection of the river.

"It's great that we can see water birds now. Before, the upper reaches of the Han River were full of factories, and the water was all different colors. Since bidding for the Olympics, they have started to pay attention to environmental protection. After so long of efforts, there are finally some results."

Sun Yizhen spoke softly and slowly, as if she were explaining something to Gao Yaxing beside her, rather than to He Daqi.

"Did Noona live by the Han River when she was a child?"

"No, I'm from Daegu. I never saw the Han River when I was a child, but I came here to study a long time ago. I've lived here for at least eight years, and I've watched the Han River gradually improve."

"Let's go fishing this weekend. I've been thinking about this place for the past few days and it looks like a good spot. I've even picked out a location, the area under the bridge over there is pretty good."

Upon hearing this, Sun Yizhen glanced at the fishing technique manual that He Daqi had placed beside her and burst out laughing. When she first became obsessed with fishing, she was just like He Daqi now, wondering if there were fish in any stream she saw.

"Daqi, you were just lucky that day. Fishing requires skill, it's not just about luck."

"Just tell me if you're coming this weekend or not!"

"Come."

……

……

As times progress, China's foreign trade has gradually increased.

Having suffered many losses in the process, traders began to learn how to protect themselves.

In this context, many far-sighted law firms have begun to study international trade, and many are riding the wave of this trend and making a fortune.

Jiang Lin never expected that, after handling numerous transnational lawsuits, she would be leading her team to a foreign country to help draft equity transfer documents for a domestic company.

The reason is quite simple: He Daqi and Zhou Huimin are both in South Korea and it's inconvenient for them to travel back and forth. This equity transfer requires both of them to be present to sign, so they have to trouble Jiang Lin to take someone on a business trip.

Of course, this is just an excuse. If I really wanted to make a trip back and forth, it wouldn't be difficult. The reason I signed the contract in South Korea was simply to keep it a secret from those with ulterior motives.

At this time, many people came to the villa that the couple had rented, including Wu Nannan, who had been keeping an eye on the Crazy Stone film crew in China.

Lin Jianyue walked in with a big belly, all smiles. He Daqi hadn't seen her in a long time and felt that the big boss seemed to have gained another ten pounds.

"Daqi is getting more and more handsome."

Lin Jianyue came in with a smile and patted He Daqi's arm, clearly in a good mood.

He Daqi was completely stunned by the movie "Miracle in Cell No. 7" in South Korea. He hadn't taken Seagate's revenue sharing model seriously, but he never expected to make such a fortune.

Not to mention the outrageous box office performance in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau. As He Daqi's first film to carry the box office himself, this result is obviously very satisfactory.

For Lin Jianyue, the important thing was that he needed this momentum; the money he received from the building was an unexpected bonus.

“Lin Sheng, we’re in the same boat,” He Daqi said with a smile.

"Haha." Lin Jianyue laughed so hard her eyes were almost closed. After laughing for a while, she turned to Zhou Huimin and asked, "Little Jew, have you finished dealing with your stocks?"

"Clearance sale! Thanks to Mr. Lin for helping me make a fortune this time."

"It's clearly your good eye. I never expected that Daqi would reach this level in just two or three years. There are so many people in Hong Kong, and quite a few come from the mainland to work. How could you pick out Daqi at a glance? Isn't that good eye?"

After a short chat, the main event began.

Although preparations for the division of the family and the transfer of shares had begun well in advance, there were still many messy things to deal with when the day finally came.

Fortunately, Yonghui Qiming is not a listed company. No matter how outrageous its operations are, as long as they are legal, there is nothing wrong with them.

Originally, they planned to separate the family after the filming of The Host was completed, but they didn't expect the gift in Room 7 to be so successful, achieving Lin Jianyue's expectations ahead of schedule.

In addition, with the market recently starting to recover, Lin Jianyue was also afraid that a competitor might suddenly emerge, so after discussion, they decided to establish Asia-Pacific as soon as possible.

This contract is more important than any previous one, and there are many to sign. In addition to the equity transfer, there is also the allocation of the new company. There are five major contracts alone, as well as various supplementary agreements. All of these need to be signed in one day, which is why Jiang Lin brought a team to help.

The lawyers for both sides had been communicating since morning, and it wasn't until almost 8 p.m. that the contract was officially signed.

Lin Jianyue hired a guide to go for a walk during the day, and they had dinner together when they came back in the evening. After signing the contract, they left in a hurry.

Next, major changes are about to occur at Huanya in Hong Kong. If it weren't for the fact that today's contract had to be kept secret and he had to come forward in person, he probably wouldn't have left Hong Kong.

"Now that's great, Daqi is the big boss of Yonghui Qiming from now on. Daqi, what are your thoughts? Do you need a batch of high-end gilded business cards made for you, with real gold engraved on the corners? So that when you meet someone, you can just hand them a business card. That's the kind of awesomeness we want."

Now only Yonghui Qiming's own people are left. Seeing He Daqi still flipping through the contract, Zhou Huimin teased him with a smile.

Liu Ying and Wu Nannan chuckled softly. From today onwards, they had gone from being employees to partners, and they couldn't be happier.

There was still something important to do, so Wu Nannan smiled and said, "Daqi, you have to fly to Hong Kong early tomorrow morning. The Hong Kong Film Awards have been moved up this year. After all, you were awarded Best Actor last time, so you should at least go and show your support this time."

“…Alright then.” He Daqi was silent for a while before agreeing.

I had planned to go fishing with Son Ye-jin tomorrow, but it seems I can only apologize now.
