Chapter 421 He Daqi Sighs and Laments

The first shot of "Wild Chrysanthemum" is not complicated, but it took Adolf Reinhard two days to shoot such a simple shot.

Because of this, He Daqi was ridiculed by Zhou Huimin.

Vivian Chow now harbors deep resentment towards this film and wishes that Ho Tai-kai would breach the contract and prevent the film from ever being made.

Originally, things were going quite well. He Daqi came to South Korea to film a movie, and Zhou Huimin brought the children to come and play for a month. But when they arrived, they found that there were hidden problems in the script. That bastard He Daqi actually wanted to play tricks.

Now things are much better. Vivian Chow simply handed the child over to her mother to take care of, while she herself came over every day to watch He Daqi filming.

This left He Daqi with a lot of unspeakable suffering. In addition, he was playing a mentally challenged character this time, so He Daqi simply pretended to be crazy and stupid with Zhou Huimin every day.

What a great opportunity! How could I not seize it?

He Daqi felt a burning gaze. Instead of turning his head to look directly, he glanced at her with his dog-like eyes. Sure enough, it was Li Chengmin giving him flirtatious glances again.

She seems to be playing with something new, often taking advantage of Zhou Huimin's inattention to show off her ambition in front of He Daqi, making it crystal clear that she wants to give herself away for free.

Fortunately, He Daqi was able to control himself, otherwise he might have actually cooperated in committing some kind of crime involving a woman.

But being flirted with like this every day is making He Daqi quite annoyed.

He Daqi sighed, suppressing his inner turmoil, and looked at the half of the sky dyed red by the sunset, feeling somewhat melancholy.

The freebies are unattainable, the director is still getting familiar with the work, and the wrap-up date is impossible to predict. Plus, there's a shrewish wife by his side.

Before coming here, I made a promise to my two little ones that Zhou Huimin would take them out to play every day. Now that Zhou Huimin is here every day to watch over me, I haven't been able to keep my promise to the two kids. Every time I go home, the two little ones pout like pouty buns and have even learned to give their parents attitude.

What an eventful time...

He Daqi sighed again.

It's already past five o'clock, and normally it's time to wrap up work. Apart from last year when he worked overtime while filming with Lao Zhang, when has He Daqi ever worked overtime before that?

However, after filming began for "Wild Chrysanthemum," He Daqi was working overtime every day. There was no other way but to help Adolf Reinhard get familiar with the role and regain his directorial skills. Otherwise, He Daqi was afraid that the film would drag on for several months.

I still need to go back to China to watch the Olympics, so I can't let this mess hold me back, otherwise the tickets would have been a waste.

After sighing, He Daqi slowly walked towards Zhou Huimin under the parasol, keeping his eyes straight ahead, as if afraid of being caught spying on others by Zhou Huimin.

"Still going back at seven o'clock today?" Zhou Huimin asked casually, tilting her head back haughtily as she looked at He Daqi, who was drinking his juice as soon as he arrived.

"I'm not filming anymore, let's go. I'm exhausted today. I filmed a single scene of plowing the field seven or eight times. If I film any more, I'm afraid I'll just collapse into the ground."

Upon hearing that the work was over, Zhou Huimin got up from the recliner, didn't say another word to He Daqi, and walked towards the convoy with her phone in hand.

These past few days, He Daqi had gotten used to Zhou Huimin's unfriendly attitude and was too lazy to say anything. He slowly followed behind and got into the car together.

When he got home, it was already dark. He ran into Zhou's mother, who had just finished eating and was about to take the two children out for a walk. He Daqi smiled and wanted to hug the two little ones, but he couldn't. As if they had planned it, the two children snorted together, walked past He Daqi who was squatting down, and followed Zhou's mother out the door with their little heads held high.

Zhou Huimin scoffed at the sight and returned to the villa with a mocking laugh.

He Daqi took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and returned to the villa.

"That little slut flaunts herself in front of you every day, thinking I can't see her. She's probably blinded by greed. It's just that we're filming right now, so I don't want to deal with her yet. I'll wait until she finishes filming... Ah! What are you doing!"

After entering the room, Vivian Chow spoke with a sarcastic tone as she walked towards the sofa. Before she could finish her sentence, she felt a chill run down her spine.

"I'm very angry now!"

He Daqi grabbed her ponytail like he was grabbing a fire extinguisher and dragged her into the bedroom.

……

……

weekend.

The film set is constantly busy.

Sun Yizhen ordered coffee, planning to come and visit the set.

She didn't tell He Daqi because she wanted to surprise him. Actually, the film crew that Sun Yizhen was currently shooting was right next to the film crew of "Wild Chrysanthemum," but He Daqi didn't know that the "Wild Chrysanthemum" crew was working overtime every day.

Sun Yizhen came here not only to visit the set, but also to see what kind of drama it was, and why He Daqi thought she was not suitable. She was actually a little unwilling to admit defeat.

Unfortunately, she heard bad news as soon as she joined the crew: He Daqi didn't work overtime on weekends. They were filming other people's scenes. He Daqi rested on weekends and only worked overtime on weekdays.

I ordered coffee for nothing, but the surprise wasn't delivered. I should have known better than to try the surprise; I should have called He Daqi beforehand.

Sun Yizhen felt regretful, but she didn't show it on her face. Her eyebrows were curved, and she looked like a girl who loved to laugh. She arranged for people to deliver coffee everywhere and greeted everyone in the "Wild Chrysanthemum" crew.

She knew the assistant director. When they were filming The Host, this assistant director and translator was still an assistant. At that time, He Daqi was too lazy to make friends with people from South Korea, but Sun Yizhen was very popular. She attended several crew dinners.

"Director Li, I originally wanted to come and chat with Daqi, but I didn't expect him to be off work on the weekend. I'm quite curious about your crew. Can I watch how you film here?" Sun Yizhen asked the assistant director with a smile.

Son Ye-jin and Ha Dae-ki have collaborated on several films. Ha Dae-ki has consistently ranked among the top three in the South Korean box office. Now, Ha Dae-ki is an international superstar, and Son Ye-jin is no less successful in South Korea, as she is the female lead alongside Ha Dae-ki, and her films also rank among the top three in the South Korean box office.

So the assistant director was very polite to her, nodding repeatedly in response, "Ms. Sun, please make yourself at home."

With the assistant director's permission, Son Ye-jin stood smiling outside the camera's view, wanting to observe the filming process before flipping through the script.

She wanted to see just how much of a leading lady He Daqi had chosen.

Seagate has done a good job keeping this a secret; they're probably using this as a bombshell to wait until the movie is released before revealing it.

Now Son Ye-jin sneaks onto the set to visit, a former "Qi Girl" from South Korea, here to scrutinize the second-generation "Qi Girl".

He Daqi's judgment did not disappoint Sun Yizhen. After Li Chengmin came out of the dressing room, Sun Yizhen almost gritted her teeth. She looked down at herself, then at Li Chengmin, and all she wanted to do was whip He Daqi into a spinning top.

Okay! Is this what you mean by "inappropriate"?
Don't you know that small ones are also cute?
Before Sun Yizhen could finish complaining, she saw many crew members walking towards the outer perimeter after finishing setting up the set.

Only the director, assistant director, and a small number of staff remained on set.

This is?

Is there a boat scene?
"Scene 10, Take 1 of 'Wild Chrysanthemums,' begin!"

The scene shows the roadside and the grassy area.

The bald eagle soldier suddenly grabbed Li Chengmin and, ignoring her struggles, dragged her into the grass.

Soon her clothes were torn to shreds. She was playing a mute woman in the movie and was unable to call for help. Sorrowful tears rolled down her cheeks as the white man on top of her let out a beastly laugh.

Seeing this scene, Sun Yizhen roughly understood why He Daqi said she was not suitable.

"It's just sacrificing for art, we're all just ordinary folks, what's wrong with that?" Sun Yizhen pouted, too lazy to watch the film on set, and turned to leave.

……

……

The laughter of the two little ones echoed throughout the indoor playground.

They were playing bumper cars again. Ho Tai-kai and Vivian Chow each had a child with them, and they were chasing each other around the bumper car area.

Every now and then, Zhou Huimin would make a mistake and be overtaken by He Daqi. The two children would immediately burst into laughter at the moment of the collision.

Zhou Huimin also forgot about the troubles of the past few days, laughing and dodging He Daqi everywhere. Her beloved son acted as a reflector, and every time he saw He Daqi about to chase after her, he would quickly direct his mother to turn around.

The little girl sat in He Daqi's lap, full of bravado, shouting loudly for He Daqi to bump into her. Sometimes when He Daqi made a mistake, it would bring a burst of complaints.

He gave He Daqi a good lecture, and he was sweating profusely from giving him instructions.

They bumped into each other and played for almost two hours. Fortunately, the two mischievous kids didn't forget the main purpose of their visit. Although they were still reluctant to leave the bumper cars, they eventually dragged their parents to ride the Ferris wheel.

Sitting on the Ferris wheel, as the two little ones nestled in their parents' arms, peering down the stairs, He Daqi started nagging his son again, sighing heavily with a heavy heart.

Zhou Huimin knew He Daqi's character all too well. She glared at him and said sarcastically in a cold voice, "What? You're not happy about bringing the two of them out to play?"

Her question immediately made the two little ones perk up their ears and look at He Daqi with wide eyes, eager to hear his explanation.

"Don't talk nonsense, I need to pee, I need to go to the toilet."

He Daqi is quick to change his expression, switching between them in a flash. He replied cheerfully, even patting the little girl on the forehead.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the little girl pouted and held He Daqi's big face, pleading, "Daddy, didn't we agree that Mommy would take us out to play every day after we came here? Why is it that now we can only go out to play on weekends?"

He Daqi glanced at Zhou Huimin and said with a smile, "Mom's work has suddenly become very busy, and she doesn't have much time."

"Really? Mom?" The son looked at Zhou Huimin.

“If only your dad would let me have some peace of mind, I wouldn’t be so busy.” Zhou Huimin gently pinched her son’s little nose.

The couple played a game of cryptic language, working together to fool the child.

The two little ones changed their minds quickly, and soon stopped paying attention to their parents' words, continuing to peek outside.

After a fun-filled day, it was already past 3 p.m. when we got home from the amusement park.

We walked a lot today, and the two little ones were exhausted when they got back. At first, they were clamoring for fruit, but they just lay down on the sofa and fell asleep in no time.

The couple moved their child to one side of the sofa, then each took a phone and, without saying a word, started browsing Yabo.com.

“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking,” Vivian Chow suddenly muttered in a low voice.

"Are they going to set another charge against me?"

"Hehe." Vivian Chow grasped the essence of sarcasm.

He Daqi couldn't stand this sarcastic attitude. He put his phone aside and said in a low voice with an unfriendly tone, "Then tell me what I'm thinking. If you can't explain it clearly today, I'll punish you with family discipline later."

"Oh! Family discipline, huh! You think you're so capable." Zhou Huimin scoffed, clicking her tongue as she looked at He Daqi. Seeing his upright and dignified appearance, she exposed his hypocritical true colors: "Are you thinking of going to the film set to work overtime for free today? Do you think I don't know your filming schedule? You want to feast your eyes today, don't you?"

"……no!"

It would be strange if He Daqi could recognize it.

Just as I was about to have a few words with Vivian Chow, my phone suddenly rang.

Fortunately, after seeing that the child was asleep, he turned down the alarm volume beforehand so as not to disturb the child's sleep.

"Hey, Noona."

"Daqi, are you home?" Sun Yizhen asked with a smile.

"Well, I just came back."

"Okay, I'll be there in a bit. Are the two kids there too? Did your mother-in-law take them out?"

"No."

Zhou Huimin recognized Sun Yizhen's voice. After He Daqi hung up the phone, she immediately asked, "Why did Sun Yizhen call you?"

"She said she'd be over in a bit." He Daqi leaned back and slumped onto the sofa.

I don't know what Zhou Huimin was thinking, but when she heard that Sun Yi was coming over, she quickly got up and went back to her bedroom to touch up her makeup.

Not long after, since the two houses were not far apart, Sun Yizhen came over carrying a watermelon in less than ten minutes.

He Daqi lay there motionless, and Zhou Huimin greeted her with a smile. When she saw Sun Yizhen holding a watermelon, Zhou Huimin quickly took it from her, and then He Daqi was kicked twice.

"Let's go cut the watermelon!"

He Daqi smacked his lips, lazily got up, and carried the watermelon into the kitchen.

When the watermelon was cut up and brought out, I found that the two children had been woken up by someone and were now playing around the pretty aunt.

"Stop fooling around. Eat watermelon right next to the table. Don't spill any on the carpet, or it'll be a hassle to clean."

"Oh, oh, oh! Time to eat watermelon!"

"Dad, hand me the smaller one."

The two children were soon gagged with watermelon.

Sun Yizhen also picked up a slice of watermelon, took a couple of bites, and her voice sounded sweet, probably because the watermelon was so sweet. She said, "Daqi, I visited your film set today. Now I know why you said I wasn't suitable. You really found a great leading lady! Does your wife know?"

After Sun Yizhen finished speaking, she winked at He Daqi, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile slightly.

He Daqi, somewhat resigned to his fate, replied dejectedly, "She accompanies me to the film set every day now, do you think she even knows that?"

Sun Yizhen burst out laughing.

Her smile made Vivian Chow squint.

What are these two talking about? Are they trying to pull some kind of trick just because they don't understand Korean?
