This actor has something

Chapter 396: Sharp-tongued
When something you didn't care about at first is gradually pushed forward, and the progress gets closer and closer to completion, then you will start to care about it.

He Daqi is like that. Looking at the sheet music of the three songs in his hand, even though he didn't care at first, he is now starting to think about whether to add a few more songs and make an album.

The three songs are "Desperado" by Jonathan Lee, and "In the Spring" and "When I Think of You" by Wang Feng.

He Daqi can sing this song, release an album, and perform commercially without having to share the copyright with these two people. Of course, apart from the copyright of He Daqi's own version, the other copyrights are not in He Daqi's hands. Li Zongsheng and Wang Feng can do the same thing themselves. It is equivalent to He Daqi only obtaining the copyright to sing it himself and the copyright of his own version.

To be honest, He Daqi felt that all three songs had some flaws. They weren't as memorable as the songs he copied for Zhou Huimin, but they were still above average.

Just as he was lost in thought while holding the sheet music, Vivian Chow came over and sat down next to him, took a sheet from his hand, and began to hum along while looking at the sheet music.

Her musical skills were decent, and she could hum a song without making any mistakes. However, after humming it, she pouted, tilted her head on He Daqi's shoulder, raised her head slightly, and turned her beautiful eyes. Seeing He Daqi's indifferent expression, she made conversation by saying, "They're all men's songs. I can't stand them."

He Daqi chuckled, knowing full well that Zhou Huimin was just looking for someone to chat with to relieve her boredom, but he still smiled and replied, "It was originally for me to sing, I didn't expect you to judge it."

Are you really going to release an album?

"...I'm considering it."

He Daqi's concern is the same issue that Zhou Huimin just mentioned: these three songs are too masculine, and most of his fans are female, so it's unlikely they'll like listening to them.

Even if he releases an album and his fans support him against their will, and even if they buy the album in groups, the ultimate impact of releasing such an album can only be summarized as an act that undermines the trust of his fans.

The benefits haven't been seen yet, but the drawbacks are already imaginable, which is why He Daqi is hesitant now.

How about making an abstract album yourself?
"What are you thinking about? Just release it. Otherwise, you only have one movie to release next year, and there are no plans for anything after that. It's not even certain if you'll act in any more movies. If fans don't see you often, they'll start to wonder. Releasing an album will give them some comfort and let them know that you're not just lazing around at home all the time."

Zhou Huimin analyzed the problem for He Daqi from another perspective.

"We'll see." He Daqi didn't give a straight answer and didn't want to continue discussing this issue. He changed the subject and said something else: "Remember to tidy up your clothes tonight. Ning Hao asked us to go to Sichuan for a few days as guest actors. I'm planning to go tomorrow."

"Why the rush?" Zhou Huimin was slightly taken aback.

He Daqi smiled and asked, "Do you expect me to help Jackie Chan with his promotional tour and then help Ning Hao with his cameo role? I reckon he'll be almost done filming by then."

"alright."

……

……

The couple's trip to Sichuan was quick, and they returned just as quickly.

In August, Sichuan was like a steel furnace, making the two of them feel suffocated. They didn't go anywhere after arriving. Every day, they would obediently rush to the film set to finish their cameo appearances and then hurry back to the hotel to enjoy the air conditioning.

He Daqi initially agreed with Ning Hao to make a cameo appearance for a week, but after only a few days of filming, he changed his mind. They only filmed for four days in total, and on the fourth night, he flew back to Beijing without looking back.

He only said goodbye once when he left, which made Ning Hao call back later to complain that He Daqi was not a honest person.

This guy is really ridiculous. He tricked He Daqi into coming to Sichuan with the excuse of just taking some casual photos. But as soon as He Daqi arrived, he was given a full set of scenes, and more scenes were added while filming. Unfortunately, he underestimated He Daqi's bottom line. He thought that the agreement would not change after seven days, but he did not expect that He Daqi had no sense of contract and would just run away.

He Daqi didn't have much free time after returning to Beijing, because Rush Hour 3, starring Jackie Chan, was released just a few days later.

He first flew to the United States to attend the premiere with Jackie Chan, and then flew directly to South Korea to support the film.

……

……

"It's been a long time, Noona."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Son Ye-jin is radiant now. Since the movie "The Host" aired, her acting career has been going from strength to strength, and she has been busy for the past two years.

The mortgage problem that was causing me so much worry before isn't completely solved yet, but there's not much left. I can just coast along for another two years and pay it off.

So now Sun Yizhen is even more charming than she was two years ago. She loves to talk and laugh, and her bright eyes are quite alluring. This makes He Daqi a little regretful that he should have communicated more with her when they were filming. Otherwise, he wouldn't have started asking about his wife and children after only a few words when they met.

"Daqi, how many days will you be staying here this time? Will Vivian Chow and Huanhuan and Lele come over later?"

"This time, it will last about half a month. I'll stay here for five or six days here and there at the beginning, and then another eight or nine days at the end of the month. As for my wife, she can only bring the child here at the end of the month."

After speaking, He Daqi raised an eyebrow, implying that he was temporarily single.

Unfortunately, Sun Yizhen pretended not to understand and chatted about other things with a bright smile. Even when He Daqi hinted that they should go out for drinks that night, she just smiled silently and didn't respond.

That's no fun...

He won't even respond to a little flirting over drinks; it seems that married men's attractiveness has really declined.

The two exchanged pleasantries for less than ten minutes before the staff signaled that it was time to go on stage.

So the two of them got up and walked onto the stage one after the other through the side passage.

"Ah!!! Daeki Oppa!!!"

Oppa! I love you!

"Daegi Oppa! Look at me! Please look at me!"

The last time He Daqi appeared in South Korea was almost a year ago when the exchange group came. Fans here hadn't seen He Daqi for almost a year, and his appearance this time caused the scene to boil over.

Admiring strength is innate. No matter how much other stars in South Korea hype it up, it can't change the fact that the top three box office records here are all held by actors starring He Daqi.

Not to mention that He Daqi already had a large fan base here, so even though he hadn't appeared for a year, his number of fans hadn't decreased.

The screams were so loud that Sun Yizhen almost wanted to cover her ears.

"Everyone, please be quiet..." The host had to maintain order.

"You idiot host, shut up! Let Dae-ki oppa do the talking!"

"I'm not here to see you, so get lost and give the microphone to Dae-ki oppa!"

"Dae-ki oppa! Say something!"

Excellent! The quality of my fans remains stable. I am very pleased.

He Daqi's lips twitched as he looked at the large group of South Korean girls below, and he suddenly felt a strong urge to call the police.

The host smiled wryly and handed the microphone to He Daqi, stepping aside. He Daqi shook his head slightly. The host they found this time was far less mentally stable than Liu Zaishi. If Liu Zaishi were here, he would have insisted on hosting even if he was scolded.

"Everyone, be quiet."

The words were clearly the same, but when spoken by He Daqi, they seemed to possess a magical power, instantly silencing the crowd. This scene reassured He Daqi; at least he could understand human speech.

"Thank you all for coming to support Rush Hour 3. This time, I broke away from my usual image and played a villain in the movie. I hope you still like it."

After saying those two sentences, He Daqi stopped talking. Following the usual procedure for promotional events, the next step was for fans to casually ask a couple of questions about the movie.

Unfortunately, the movie wasn't what the fans were most interested in today; they were more interested in Ho Tai-ki himself.

"Dae-ki oppa, what are your hobbies?"

"Hobbies? Fishing, playing games, um... working out."

He Daqi hesitated for a moment before finally adding a workout session.

Fitness is great! You can learn a lot from it. Although He Daqi himself is incredibly lazy, no one doubts him when he says his hobby is fitness. After all, his well-defined muscles are no joke. Saying he has a hobby can also help him conceal some of the unusual features of his body after being modified by the "Strengthening and Body-Building Pills".

Having known each other for so long, He Daqi knew all too well what kind of female fans these days were like. He casually tugged at his t-shirt, subtly showing off his abs.

The expected screams followed, even louder than when he first appeared, and the words accompanying the screams were even more explicit.

Sun Yizhen had been leaning forward to peek earlier, but now she was standing on the stage with a smile, feeling rather bored. She felt that it didn't matter whether she came or not; the fans were all asking He Daqi questions, while she and the host seemed like they were just there to be punished.

To be honest, Son Ye-jin is still a little envious. If she had such a large fan base, what wouldn't she succeed in doing in South Korea?

Her absent-minded appearance made He Daqi a little uneasy. He called you here to say a few words, but now you're standing on the stage smiling and acting as an audience member. What's the point?
With no other option, He Daqi had to perform a few of his talents to get through the roadshow.

……

night.

In a villa in South Korea.

He Daqi ordered a bunch of food and is now drinking alone in the air conditioning.

That's the advantage of being neighbors with Son Ye-jin: if you want to stay in South Korea, you can call her in advance and ask her to have someone clean the house so you can move in directly when you arrive.

Just as they were eating and drinking heartily, the bell of the marimba rang.

He Daqi picked up the smartphone, glanced at the screen, swiped his finger to answer, and pressed the speakerphone button.

"What are you doing?"

"drink wine."

"Are you drinking with Son Ye-jin?"

Despite Zhou Huimin's usual smiling demeanor towards Sun Yizhen, she was actually the most wary of her. After all, no matter which actress He Daqi had worked with before, none of them had ever laid a hand on him. Sun Yizhen was different; Zhou Huimin had personally witnessed He Daqi hugging and kissing her passionately, and he didn't stop even after the director yelled "cut."

So as soon as the call connected, the conversation turned to Son Ye-jin.

"No, I drank it by myself, but you reminded me that I can call her and ask her to come and drink with me."

"Hehe, I don't believe you. You only say you like big breasts. Actually, Sun Yi doesn't really suit your taste," Zhou Huimin asserted confidently.

"Tsk! It seems you still don't understand me. I like women with unique characteristics. Sun Yizhen is beautiful inside and out. You don't understand."

"Inner beauty? Which inner beauty?"

"The power of words! Haven't you seen it all?"

It would be better if they didn't mention it, because as soon as He Daqi brought it up, Zhou Huimin would get restless and anxious. Even though she knew He Daqi was joking, Zhou Huimin still couldn't stand it.

"Words of wisdom? You're dreaming! He Daqi!!! You're something else!!! You wait, I'm buying a ticket to fly to South Korea right now!"

beep!beep!beep!
The call was disconnected.

He Daqi laughed it off, not taking it to heart, and continued eating barbecue, trying seafood, and drinking beer.

It's no wonder that Vivian Chow can come. I'll be flying to Hong Kong tomorrow afternoon after another roadshow. Vivian Chow knows my schedule, so why would she fly over for just half a day?

He Daqi thought that Zhou Huimin might have gone to sulk after hanging up the phone, but he underestimated the ruthlessness of women.

In the middle of the night, He Daqi was awakened by the sound of the bedroom door opening.

Before he could react, the bedroom light was turned on.

Zhou Huimin stood at the door with her almond-shaped eyes wide open, not greeting He Daqi, but instead scanning the bedroom thoroughly.

After wandering around for a while, she suddenly pulled off He Daqi's blanket. Unexpectedly, He Daqi had let loose quite a bit after drinking, and was now lying naked on the bed.

"Isn't it all about words? Why didn't you call someone over to help you?"

He Daqi, shameless and unabashed, rolled his eyes and said, "Now that you're here, there's no need to bother anyone else."

"No need for that. I'm going to squeeze every last drop of blood out of you today!"

The couple got into a fight, and then remembered that there were a lot of props in the villa, so they started to hurt each other with weapons, especially a tasseled leather whip, which was the MVP of the night.

The next day, He Daqi rubbed his aching back and went to the kitchen refrigerator to get an apple to eat.

Regret!
What were we talking about yesterday about the power of words?

What kind of creature would you grab and gnaw on? Those are sharp teeth and claws, not mouths and tongues.

Fortunately, He Daqi had already retaliated, so he wasn't dwelling on the possibility of regretting it now.

As he walked toward the bedroom, he was lost in thought. His next itinerary was to do a one-day promotional tour in South Korea, then a one-and-a-half-day promotional tour in Hong Kong, then a two-and-a-half-day promotional tour in Japan, before returning to South Korea.

After two rounds of roadshows, lasting more than ten days, they fully repaid Cheng Long's favor, so that they wouldn't have to make up for it in other ways in the future.

"Are you hungry?" He asked, leaning against the doorframe as they reached the bedroom door.

"What do you think?" Zhou Huimin lazily opened her eyes and asked in a irritated tone.

"I said, I said I'm not hungry." He Daqi grinned and ate the apple with great relish.

"Pretending, huh? Fine, He Daqi, I'll go to Hong Kong with you tonight. Wherever you go, I'll go. Let's see if you're a coward!" Zhou Huimin groped around for a while, found the whip under the pillow, and immediately threw it at He Daqi.

"Hehe~~ Who's afraid of who?"

After leaving a message, the incredibly bold He Daqi quickly went to order food, not giving Zhou Huimin, who was preparing to jump out of bed and fight him, a chance.
