This actor has something

Chapter 465 Finally, they got to photograph the one He Daqi loves to photograph!

His long, nimble fingers slid across the phone screen, the speed slowing down, just like He Daqi's mood at that moment.

Leaning lazily against the headboard, He Daqi had a strange look on his face.

"Do you feel like you're being used?" Zhou Huimin's voice came from beside me.

"It's not that bad, it's normal operation."

As He Daqi spoke, he switched his phone to airplane mode. If he didn't switch it, he would probably get a call. Although it was only 8 p.m., he was already in bed and didn't want to answer the phone.

He glanced at Vivian Chow, but didn't say what he was supposed to say. He guessed that Vivian Chow had already switched to airplane mode even earlier than him, because the phone she was holding wasn't the one she usually used; you could tell from the phone case.

He Daqi followed her example and took another phone to continue browsing the news.

The photo was taken at a very good angle and is very clear. It shows me, Zhao Benshan, and Chen Kaige sitting in a private room. It must have been taken by paparazzi when the door was opened by the waiter to serve the food.

Then came a series of photos of three people coming out of the private room, chatting and laughing, and even a little tug-of-war over who should pay the bill. To be fair, the paparazzi were quite capable; He Daqi didn't even realize someone was taking pictures of him.

Even now, looking back from the angle of the photo, He Daqi doesn't have much of an impression, so one has to admire his professionalism.

Here's where things get interesting. After the three of them parted ways, the news team to which this paparazzi belonged took advantage of the moment when Chen Kaige and Zhao Benshan were heading home and stopped them for a quick impromptu interview.

When asked if He Daqi had any collaboration with them, the two gave vague answers and made up a bunch of stories, making it seem as if He Daqi and Zhao Benshan were the leads in Chen Kaige's new movie.

Good grief, I've been scammed.

He Daqi chuckled lightly, too lazy to figure out whether it was Chen Kaige or Zhao Benshan who was behind this.

He Daqi has encountered this kind of thing many times, but this time it only made the headlines because there haven't been any major events in the entertainment industry recently.

He Daqi put his phone on airplane mode to avoid answering Chen Kaige and Zhao Benshan's calls to explain. He also knew that others would call to inquire about the details, and he didn't want to be bothered, so he simply stopped answering the calls.

"Should we suppress this news for you?"

Like He Daqi, Zhou Huimin leaned against the headboard, looking down at her phone and asking a question softly.

"No need. From now on, no matter if my news is good or bad, you don't need to suppress it, unless they capture a report that could ruin my career. Otherwise, you don't need to worry about it."

"Let me think of what kind of news could ruin your reputation. Hmm... you took a girl to a hotel? Probably not. Taiwan used this trick when they were smearing you before. Oh! Don't be so sure, there aren't many ways to get you now. Unless you break the law, it's really hard to get you out of the public eye."

Zhou Huimin was really surprised. She didn't realize it until she thought about it. She then discovered that He Daqi's current image was really like a steel bean, quite resilient.

No wonder He Daqi just said to report anything, good or bad.

The topic ended because Ho Tai-kai didn't respond to Vivian Chow; he was engrossed in playing a game on his phone.

Zhou Huimin didn't hear a response. She glanced at the serious He Daqi, pouted, and then looked down to start flipping through the news again.

A short while later, she cried out "Ouch!" and shoved He Daqi hard.

"Your headline might be stolen!"

"Who set off the thunder?"

The person who managed to steal He Daqi's headline must have gotten into trouble, so He Daqi's first reaction was to ask that question.

"Cecilia Cheung has given birth to another son for Nicholas Tse."

Zhou Huimin placed the phone in front of him so that he could look at it carefully.

For various reasons, He Daqi and his wife were quite concerned about the messy affairs in Xie Tingfeng's family.

Upon hearing this news, He Daqi's expression turned strange again.

I thought they had secretly divorced, how come they're having a second child?

"When did you get pregnant? How come I didn't know?"

Zhou Huimin was taken aback by the question. She looked at He Daqi with a half-smile and said in a low voice, "You'll have to ask Zhang Baizhi about this."

……

……

Dilraba and Gulnazar had a good rapport with her; the two girls just had to sweet-talk Vivian Chow a little, and Vivian Chow agreed to let the whole family make a cameo appearance.

They played neighbors from other floors in the Love Apartment, and there were only a few scenes; they were filmed briefly and that was it.

The two little ones had been looking forward to filming for several days, but when Saturday finally arrived, they were led to the film set by He Daqi and his wife. After filming for less than ten minutes, they were told that it was over.

This was different from what they had imagined. The two little ones were reluctantly carried off the set by He Daqi, their little mouths pouting. It felt like they would be letting them down if they weren't given a couple more scenes.

"Brother Chichi! Lu Han! Tonight we're playing Warcraft: Guardian of the Sword Pavilion map on the HaoFang gaming platform. Brother Daqi is here today, so we can play with him too," Reba said with a grin.

"Yes, Brother Daqi always gets invited. I didn't invite him before because I wasn't in Shanghai and was worried about network latency. He said he was going to stay here for two days, so I can ask him to play games with me again in the next couple of days."

Naza happily added that she sat next to Dilraba, the two sisters huddled together, spending all their time discussing games except for makeup and clothes.

Unlike He Daqi's family, who only made a brief appearance, the main cast of "iPartment" would gather together to chat during breaks.

They're all young people, and quite a few of them love playing games.

Everyone else was quite surprised to hear the two sisters say that.

"Teacher He also plays World of Warcraft?" Lu Han asked in surprise.

“Yes, he not only plays World of Warcraft, but also Fantasy Westward Journey. He basically tries out any new game that comes out on the market. He even introduced us to games. Sometimes Sister Zhou plays too,” Reba nodded and said.

Hearing that Vivian Chow also plays games surprised the young actors even more. Suddenly realizing that a top star shares the same hobby with them gave them an indescribable sense of belonging.

He Daqi had no idea that the two girls had completely betrayed him.

When they left, the two girls each hugged a child and asked him to play Warcraft that night. Right now, He Daqi is thinking about who to invite to make a total of five people.

He used to be the one organizing the games and inviting people, but Nazha and the other girl hadn't explained things clearly, so he didn't expect them to join the game this time.

After a little thought, he called Deng Chao. He wasn't sure about getting anyone else involved, but getting Deng Chao involved would definitely work.

Whenever someone asks Deng Chao, he always describes He Daqi as his best friend. This "best friend" has essentially corrupted him; Deng Chao didn't play games before, it was He Daqi who constantly dragged him into it. Now, he spends even more money in the game than He Daqi. He's a complete novice, running a guild, hiring power-levelers to help him gain experience, and even participating in official PvP competitions. He constantly brags about it to He Daqi, making He Daqi quite tempted to start spending money too.

"Brother Chao, let's play Warcraft tonight."

Which Warcraft? Online game or multiplayer?

"Fight."

"No problem, book a room and pick me up."

It's just a few words; there's no need for a detailed discussion.

When evening came, He Daqi was dumbfounded.

There's no need to type on QQ anymore, I just called: "You guys are one short and waiting for me? Who are the other two? I thought it was just the two of you, so I invited Brother Chao. I was even planning to see who was free later and invite someone else, but now there's one more person."

"Huh? What do we do then? We've already talked to Chichi and Lu Han. We have more people on our side, at least four or five more waiting to be substitutes." Naza spoke into speakerphone, exchanging bewildered glances with the group behind her.

“Let’s add them all to the game group and do a 5v5 match. I’ll ask around and find a few more people so we can make a 10-person room.”

Listening to He Daqi's arrangements on Nazha's phone, the young actors who came to join in the fun that evening were quite excited. They were now in the same group as the big shots, which gave them another channel of communication. Maybe in the future, when they played games together, a single word from one of the big shots would be enough to get them resources.

……

……

Since a group of young people joined the gaming group, He Daqi has been quite engrossed in the game for several days.

Unfortunately, things are different now. Although he doesn't have to be busy with important matters for a very long time every day, he still has a lot of trivial things to do.

For example, various social interactions or frequent long phone calls.

For example, the veteran film, which finally couldn't be delayed any longer and was about to be filmed.

This is a long-awaited important matter. Seagate has already prepared a veteran film crew and is just waiting for He Daqi to arrive in South Korea so that filming can begin.

Zhou Huimin didn't bring her children with her this time. There was no other reason than that she didn't want the two children to know that their parents could help them take a month or two off work.

Let's just let the two kids go to kindergarten obediently every day. Otherwise, if those two little rascals find out that Ho Tai-kai and Chow Wai-man can help them get extended leave, they'll probably cause a ruckus again.

It's fine as it is now. I take them out for a stroll twice a week, and the two kids are quite excited about it, thinking that they can only rest on Saturdays and Sundays.

However, summer vacation is just two months away. I wonder how long the two kids will be overjoyed once they understand what summer vacation means.

He arrived in South Korea last night and rushed to the film set this morning.

After learning the exact time of He Daqi's arrival, they started filming ahead of schedule.

The movie "Veteran" marks the first time that Ho Tai-kei has played a villain, and it's the kind of villainous rich kid that Ho Tai-kei likes the most.

Putting everything else aside, that scoundrel He Daqi deliberately changed a part of the movie's plot, which was that there was originally a scene where the rich second-generation kids were choosing women at their gathering.

He Daqi modified the shot and even got Chairman Li to help out by inviting the girls who made cameo appearances in the shot to be from the most popular girl group in South Korea. Whoever is popular can be invited. There are a lot of girls in the shot, so having twenty or thirty is no problem. Adding more scenes is also not out of the question.

Today is the first day on set, and He Daqi is so eager to come early, because we agreed to film this scene.

"Daqi is here. Let me introduce you to the director and the lead actor who will be working with you."

On the first day, Chairman Lee did make an appearance, but whether he comes later depends on his mood. This movie belongs to Seagate, not him; the later films, New World and The Thieves, are what he needs to focus on.

He was about to introduce the lead actors and director to He Daqi when, unexpectedly, He Daqi impatiently raised his hand to interrupt him.

"I know the director well, he's an old friend, Yoon Jae-joon." At this point, He Daqi asked in a furtive low voice, "Which girl groups did you invite for today's shots?"

Chairman Li gave He Daqi a strange look, wondering if he should assign He Daqi a project, otherwise he couldn't understand why He Daqi was acting so suspiciously.

Although in the plot, during the scene filmed today, when the rich second-generation were choosing women at their gathering, the evil villain He Daqi would demand that all the girls strip naked and come to him one by one to choose from.

However, they definitely wouldn't actually be completely naked during filming. They would use camera tricks and cam shots to depict the scene, but the girl group members would still be wearing tube tops and shorts.

So Chairman Li has misunderstood He Daqi, thinking that after filming this scene today, he will rush to pick one or a few to take back and teach them acting skills, and incidentally give them a huge red envelope worth billions.

The Koreans are familiar with this, and Chairman Lee can arrange it.

After all, when He Daqi came recently, someone even attempted suicide, wasn't it because he was constantly being arranged to do these kinds of things?

"Girls' Generation, Kara, Wonder Girls, 2NE1, and another one who hasn't debuted yet has also been arranged to come over, called f(x)."

"Okay, let's start filming right away. Let's film this scene first. I have some things to do after that, so I need to leave quickly." He Daqi smiled broadly.

Although I don't know how many pretty girls are in there, I'm sure I can find a few stunning ones, since the girl groups that debut at this stage should have pretty good looks.

It's alright. We've finished filming this scene today. He Daqi will have plenty of time later. He can slowly pick and choose in the simulation training space, one by one, and train himself properly on how to play an evil villainous rich second-generation.

"Hello, senior!"

As soon as he appeared, twenty or thirty girls bowed to greet him. He Daqi suddenly felt that the senior-junior relationship system in South Korea was quite good.

"Hello, hello, thank you for your hard work."

He Daqi smiled like a friendly older brother next door, gentle, sunny, and full of kindness. If he were to act, no one would be able to discern his acting skills, let alone these girls who were just starting out.

He Daqi has been on the list of Asia's most handsome male stars for many years, and with his status as an international superstar, he really acted like a refined beast, instantly winning the favor of a lot of girls.

The girls, no longer caring about being reserved, swarmed around him, chattering and asking for autographs and phone numbers, all wanting to get involved with He Daqi.

He Daqi smiled modestly, as if he were holding a fan meeting, and actually took out a large stack of photos from his bag, handing out autographed photos to each of them.

They should give them some benefits, since He Daqi will need to go home and ask them for help after filming this scene.

Who is the person who can't stand to see you doing well? It must be a close friend, not your enemy, right?
Yoon Je-joon can’t stand He Da-qi’s attitude. Even though He Da-qi specifically asked him to direct the movie, he should do things his own way. What kind of behavior is it to be surrounded by girls as soon as you arrive on set?
This must be stopped!

"Attention all units, filming is about to begin! Get ready quickly! Daqi, Daqi! Ugh!!! He Daqi!!! You need to get your makeup done!!!"

Even with donkey hair plugged in his ears, He Daqi continued to calmly and gently sign autographs for the girls.
