Chapter 407 King of Heaven
"Hahaha! Daqi! Congratulations on becoming the new Heavenly King!"

As soon as the call was answered, Feng Kuzi's infectious laughter came from the other end.

He was laughing so hard that his hoarse voice hadn't quite adjusted, and the sounds he made were like a eunuch delivering an imperial edict.

"No! No! You're overpraising me a bit too much."

He Daqi pressed the speakerphone button, put the phone back on the bedside table, plugged it back in to charge, replied to Feng Kuzi, then looked up and grinned silently at Zhou Huimin. Unfortunately, Zhou Huimin wasn't afraid of him and continued to happily munch on her peach, even sticking her tongue out at He Daqi triumphantly.

Seeing Zhou Huimin being mischievous, He Daqi pretended to lunge forward, as if to snatch the peach back. This startled Zhou Huimin, who covered her mouth and took a step back three meters. When she turned around, she realized that He Daqi was just trying to scare her.

She gave a soft snort, then took a big bite of the winter peach, in a show of force to He Daqi.

He Daqi smacked his lips, realizing that washing the peaches had been a waste of time, and he had once again become a laborer.

While the couple were exchanging silent flirtations, Feng Kuzi on the other end of the phone rattled off a whole bunch of things, saying that CCTV had reported on He Daqi's concert, and that the media was now describing He Daqi as a new superstar. In short, he tried to prove from every angle that He Daqi was now a rising superstar.

After talking for a while without hearing a response from He Daqi, Feng Kuzi thought he had gone too far in bragging. He Daqi was too embarrassed to reply, and just as he was about to throw out another topic to chat, he heard He Daqi's chuckling voice.

"Director Feng, you're really good at rambling, haha. You called today just to talk about the release of Assembly, right? Don't worry, I told you before I went abroad that I would make sure the roadshow wouldn't fall apart."

"That's good! That's good!"

Hearing He Daqi say this, Feng Kuzi was delighted. He was a shrewd and calculating person. Although he had previously made an appointment with He Daqi over the phone to discuss the publicity and distribution process for the release of "Assembly", that was an agreement made before He Daqi went to Bald Eagle to hold a concert.

Before he went there, He Daqi was most often called the King of Asia; after he went there, the title became the King of the World.

The difference here is quite significant.

Even if Feng Kuzi called and He Daqi said he wanted to break the contract and didn't want to do the roadshow anymore, Feng Kuzi would still understand.

It's only human nature. With such a high status, if Feng Xiaogang were to choose for himself, he wouldn't be willing to accompany these people from China on roadshows, let alone He Daqi, who has always been rumored to be a diva.

Hearing that He Daqi is willing to continue accompanying him on the roadshow is like heavenly music to Feng Kuzi's ears. He's so happy he wants to drink two 5-liter bottles of Erguotou to celebrate.

He seemed afraid that He Daqi might change his mind, so he chatted with him for a few more minutes about everyday things. Before hanging up, he added, "Daqi, don't forget our premiere on the 18th. You must come!"

"Row."

He Daqi had barely finished saying "okay" when Feng Kuzi hung up the phone.

He looked at the phone beeping with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, and gently shook his head.

"I'll go with you to the premiere on the 18th!"

Zhou Huimin was eating like a little hamster, her cheeks bulging. She had finished a peach in such a short time. As soon as she heard that He Daqi had finished his phone call, she immediately came over and mumbled that she wanted to go too.

……

……

Wudaokou, Chengfu Road.

Qimingxing International Cinema (Wudaokou Branch)

This is his own business, so unlike attending premieres in other places, He Daqi walked the red carpet exceptionally slowly this time.

He takes two steps and waves his hand, takes three steps and turns his head back. If you didn't know better, you might think that He Daqi is leading Zhou Huimin in a tango.

Vivian Chow was thoroughly enjoying the moment, holding onto Ho Tai-kai's arm very tightly. She was even more willing to wave to the reporters on both sides than Ho Tai-kai himself, as if she was afraid they wouldn't be able to take a picture of her holding Ho Tai-kai's arm.

"Daqi, will you continue to develop your career in China?"

"Daqi, will you focus on acting or singing in the future?"

"Daqi, look this way!"

He Daqi smiled and waved to everyone, no matter who called him, giving off a bit of an international superstar vibe. Unfortunately, he only smiled and waved without saying a word.

He looks humble, but he doesn't do anything humble or friendly.

After leading Vivian Chow to pose on the red carpet for a long time, He Daqi finally felt cold and slowly dragged the still-smug Vivian Chow into the cinema.

Putting everything else aside, He Daqi's current status does have its advantages.

At least we don't have to wear suits in the dead of winter to walk the red carpet like before, just to look good.

Now, even if he comes wearing a military overcoat, people will think it's a new fashion trend abroad, and won't think that He Daqi is trying to stay warm.

Of course, He Daqi didn't actually wear a military overcoat, but he did wear a down jacket over it.

Qimingxing Cinema is a modern international cinema with advanced facilities and complete functions. The air conditioning was on full blast, and He Daqi felt the warmth as soon as he entered. He decided to take off his down jacket after only a few steps.

"Haha, Daqi has arrived? Hello, Ms. Zhou!"

From a distance, Feng Kuzi jogged over and grabbed He Daqi's hand, then enthusiastically pulled He Daqi's arm and led the couple into the largest theater, as if afraid that the couple might get lost and accidentally end up in another theater.

"Director Feng, please go about your business. I'll just go in and find a place to sit. You're the host today, so there's no need to make special arrangements for us."

"That won't do! You're the most important guest today. I can neglect anyone else, but I can't neglect you."

Regardless of anything else, Feng Kuzi is indeed quite pleasant to talk to when he has something nice to say. He did a great job at the moment. He was originally standing in the lobby of the cinema to greet guests, but now he specially put aside other things and escorted He Daqi and his wife into the cinema.

He Daqi and Zhou Huimin had even disguised themselves and come to watch movies at their own cinema a few times before, so they were quite familiar with it.

Pushing open the door, I noticed that the original seats in the main theater had been removed, and now the theater was furnished with round tables. It was clear that Feng Xiaogang hadn't invited many people to the premiere of "Assembly". I estimated that there were only four or five hundred people attending the premiere. It seems that not many audience members were invited this time, and the audience consisted mainly of industry professionals and various media outlets.

The appearance of He Daqi and his wife was like a huge rock being thrown into a pond that was originally rippling. It could not be said to have caused a huge uproar, but it did make everyone present stand up.

"The Great Qi has arrived."

"Daqi, your new song is really good." "Daqi, it's been a while since we last met."

"Wow, I think Daqi is getting more and more handsome!"

"Don't call me Daqi, call me He Tianwang!"

"Yes, yes, yes! King He!"

Whether they knew him or not, they all swarmed around He Daqi and greeted him warmly.

He Daqi hates dealing with this kind of situation the most. A bunch of people are talking to him, but he only has one mouth. If he responds to anyone too slowly, he will seem to offend them.

Not to mention that there are many acquaintances here.

However, he soon noticed the difference compared to before. In the past, when dealing with these people in the industry, he would at least give them a serious response. Now, it was different. Now, he would just nod and smile, and the other person would still maintain a warm smile.

He Daqi was used to taking advantage of the situation. He greeted the familiar people with a smile, then chatted casually with those he vaguely remembered. He would chime in with whoever could keep up the conversation. After a short while, he used Zhou Huimin as an excuse, saying that she hadn't slept well and wanted to find a place to sit down. He then nodded happily and was led to the main table.

"King He, you have a full house of distinguished guests! I didn't even dare to go over and greet you."

As soon as He Daqi sat down, Deng Chao moved over and sat next to him with a grin, making a teasing remark.

"Don't you have any sense of propriety? You saw me, the Heavenly King, coming over and didn't even know to pour me some tea?"

He Daqi didn't give Deng Chao a friendly look. The two of them had been playing games together on voice chat every day recently. Deng Chao was always sabotaging others, and the worst part was that even though he was sabotaging others, he still insisted on being on the same team as He Daqi. This often caused He Daqi to lose his temper in voice chat and have passionate verbal battles with Deng Chao.

"Alright, since you're the king, I'll pour it for you right away." Deng Chao wasn't annoyed and replied with a smile. He turned to look for the teapot but found that someone else was much faster.

Wang Baoqiang, all smiles, came over and poured a cup of tea for He Daqi and Zhou Huimin respectively, making He Daqi feel a little embarrassed, and he quickly held the teacup with his hand.

"Brother, your English song is really catchy! I listen to it every day, but unfortunately I didn't understand the lyrics at first. Luckily, I recently met a college student friend who is very kind and translated it for me line by line. That's how I found out that the lyrics of your song are also super catchy!"

He Daqi no longer wanted to correct Wang Baoqiang's habit of calling him "big brother." No matter what, Wang Baoqiang always greeted him with a smile and was honest in his dealings with people. So now, even though Wang Baoqiang was just like everyone else, He Daqi was willing to chat with him for a bit.

"Oh my, college student friend? Boyfriend or girlfriend?" He Daqi's tone was teasing with a hint of friendliness.

Hearing that He Daqi's tone had changed slightly from when he spoke to him before, Wang Baoqiang's smile became even brighter. He chuckled and said somewhat embarrassedly, "We're just friends. He's a college student, and I'm just a country bumpkin. I was too embarrassed to ask him if he was dating."

"Are you kidding me? There are plenty of college students these days. Baoqiang, you're so popular now with Soldier Sortie, are you worried about not having the right qualifications? Listen to me, go for it boldly. As long as you're bold and shameless, you can succeed." Deng Chao winked and gave Wang Baoqiang his advice. It was clear that he was using the same method himself.

It was truly unbelievable that Deng Chao's interruption made Wang Baoqiang feel embarrassed. He chuckled twice, said a few words, and turned to leave.

"Are you getting married soon?" After Wang Baoqiang left, He Daqi nudged Deng Chao and asked in a low voice.

As a fan of the couple and a friend in the game, Zhou Huimin also perked up her ears and leaned her head closer to He Daqi, wanting to hear Deng Chao's response.

Deng Chao and Sun Li have been in a relationship for over a year and are often photographed showing affection. However, they are dragging things out and not making any decisions. Now it's almost the end of 07, and if they keep dragging it out, given the nature of the entertainment industry, they might end up breaking up.

When the topic came up, Deng Chao seemed a little melancholy. He clicked his tongue and said in a low voice with a hint of confusion, "I actually proposed to her, but her response was pretty lukewarm. She just said to wait a little longer, and then nothing came of it. I don't really want to bring it up. Good brother, can you give me some advice on what I should do now?"

What to do? He Daqi didn't know what to do either. In both of his lives, he had been forced into marriage, with his wives practically throwing themselves at him. He really had no experience in this area.

Even so, He Daqi was still thinking seriously, as if he could really come up with a brilliant plan.

"Didn't you just say you were bold and shameless? Why are you asking about Daqi now?" Zhou Huimin interjected, tilting her head.

"Huh? Sister Zhou, you don't understand. I can talk to others about it, but when I try it myself, I chicken out." Deng Chao scratched his head sheepishly.

Now He Daqi had an excuse. He squinted and looked disdainful, saying, "If you're embarrassed, who can you blame? You can only rely on yourself for these things!"

Judging from He Daqi's intimidating demeanor now, you'd think he was a Casanova.

Deng Chao was completely stunned and didn't notice Zhou Huimin covering her mouth and chuckling while leaning against He Daqi's shoulder.

"What are you talking about, you seem so happy?"

Han Shanping led the two Wangs over with smiles on their faces, and without any formalities, sat down next to Deng Chao.

"We were talking about Assembly Call. Deng Chao just said our movie is sure to be a huge hit," He Daqi replied with a smile.

"Haha, Daqi, thank you for your kind words." Upon hearing this, Mr. Wang laughed heartily, poured himself a cup of tea, and raised it as a toast.

Looking at the smiling faces of the two bosses beside him, Han Shanping knew the reason for their smiles. Although Han Shanping was also smiling, he felt a little regretful.

I should have insisted on letting Ho Ta-kai direct Red Cliff back then. If I had persisted, I would be the one laughing now.

Especially when he thought about visiting the set of Red Cliff and seeing the scenes filmed by Wu Baige, Han Shanping felt as if he had been stabbed twice in the heart, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Old Han's situation at China Film Group is both smooth and difficult.

China Film Group has made a lot of money in the past two years by investing in movies starring He Daqi.

Unfortunately, apart from He Daqi, his investments in other places were somewhat off track. He was even implicated a few days ago because of the Lust, Caution incident and was criticized quite a bit.

Now I'm starting to worry about the Battle of Red Cliffs again, and I haven't had a good night's sleep in almost two months.

Fortunately, good news came from the delivery room. He Daqi had a big baby near the end of the year, so the "Assembly Call" (a card game) couldn't be a disappointment anymore. Otherwise, Lao Han would really want to go to the temple to pray and see if he was just having bad luck this year.

"Chairman Han? Chairman Han?!"

It took He Daqi two calls to bring Han Shanping back to his senses. It was amazing that even when Han Shanping was lost in thought, he could still maintain a smile.

"What's wrong, Daqi?"

"Is it because the tea that our two CEOs prepared today is not good? Why did you look a little bitter after you took a sip of tea?" He Daqi asked curiously.

Han Shanping's face stiffened, and he cursed the little brat in his heart.
