This actor has something

Chapter 491 When Ning Hao saw Mr. Tree
Ding!
The gold coins bounced up and fell back down, in an endless cycle.

He Dayi used very light force, and the gold coin did not flip very fast in the air. The smooth gold coin switched back and forth constantly. Sometimes the angle of reflection was just right, and sunlight would flash across the gold coin and shine into other people's eyes.

The clinking sound continued as He Daqi casually flicked the gold coins with one hand in his pocket and the other, seemingly absorbed in the coins before him, completely ignoring the stares of those around him.

Brown sunglasses, khaki casual wear, light blue tapered pants, and a white-streaked, tousled hairstyle, combined with He Daqi's carefree demeanor, made him look less like a young master who had just finished a serious conference and more like a playboy on vacation.

Wang Jinghua and Liu Ying followed behind He Daqi on either side. From time to time, CEOs from other companies greeted them, and they would just smile and respond without saying anything more.

Some people wanted to greet He Daqi, but seeing his nonchalant demeanor, they were afraid that he wouldn't respond if they greeted him. So, although they were somewhat hopeful, they ultimately didn't say hello.

"Daqi, do you need help preparing your speech?"

"Sigh, get ready. Remember to remind me when the time comes, I'm afraid I'll forget the time." He Daqi paused slightly, but replied to Liu Ying without much hesitation.

After saying that, he stopped playing the gold coins. Just then, the nanny van drove up, and he opened the door to get in.

Wang Jinghua and Liu Ying and He Daqi did not go in the same direction, so they did not ride in the same car.

However, just before He Daqi closed the car door, Liu Ying asked again, "China Film Group wants to release The Treasure Hunt as soon as possible, preferably this year. They want to ask if we agree. Daqi, if you don't have any other plans, we'll agree to China Film Group's request."

"We won't do it this year, at least we'll wait until Running Man starts airing." He Daqi paused for a moment while closing the car door. After answering Liu Ying's question, he peeked out and, seeing that Liu Ying had nothing else to say, closed the car door.

He was in a so-so mood, neither good nor bad, and didn't feel like talking much.

Originally, he was just casually attending the meeting today to make a quick appearance, but he didn't expect to be called upon. A big shot asked him to attend the Cross-Strait and Hong Kong Film and Television Seminar in mid-January next year.

There's no way around it. When he was just a nobody, he could still hang around everywhere, but now He Daqi can't even do that. He's being pushed forward everywhere he goes.

As He Daqi ran his fingers over the gold coins, he entered the system space. Watching the numbers slow down again, He Daqi's emotions were not greatly affected. He simply began to think about his various plans.

Time always seems to fly by when he's thinking, and with He Daqi's mind wandering from time to time as he hears various people mentioning his name, it felt like not long before he found his car parked in front of his house.

The hallucinations and auditory hallucinations have progressed further. As the numbers in the system increase, He Daqi recently discovered that he can now barely control and block out these two kinds of strange phenomena.

I just feel like I'm not very skilled, and sometimes I let my guard down and play the audio or video.

"Brother Long and Brother Hu, you two go and rest. I'm not going out today," He Daqi instructed the Long and Hu brothers before getting out of the car.

"Okay, just give me a call if anything comes up," Qin Long said, then drove the car to the garage.

He Daqi took two steps up the stairs, slowly pushed open the villa door, glanced around, and finally found Zhou Huimin's location.

The afternoon sunlight streamed into the restaurant through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Vivian Chow was sipping a cup of coffee while scrolling through her phone on the table.

It wasn't time to pick up the children from school yet. He Daqi hadn't been back at this time in a long time. Usually, he either didn't go out at all, or he went out to work. He would stay until the children were picked up and taken home before heading back.

Looking at Vivian Chow sitting leisurely in the restaurant, Ho Tai-kai slowly smiled.

As if by telepathy, Vivian Chow received some kind of hint, or perhaps it was a sixth sense, and she turned her head slightly to look at him. Her previously indifferent eyes suddenly lit up, and her eyes immediately smiled into crescent moons.

"You're back?"

"Ah."

He Daqi took a few steps forward and came to Zhou Huimin's side.

He took off his brown sunglasses, and his gentle gaze met Zhou Huimin's, instantly captivating her.

Whether it was her imagination or not, Zhou Huimin always felt that He Daqi's face had a radiant glow.

They've been married for seven years and know each other intimately, but for some reason, it's as if something separates her from He Daqi.

Under He Daqi's somewhat doubtful gaze, Zhou Huimin placed her hand on He Daqi's face and gently stroked it, as if to confirm that the person in front of her was not an illusion.

"Da Qi..."

"what happened?"

Why do I sometimes feel like you're so far away from me?

Hearing Zhou Huimin's murmur, He Daqi's heart trembled, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and said perfunctorily, "Maybe you're just thinking too much because you're idle all day."

"Perhaps..." Zhou Huimin smiled, realizing that she might be overthinking things.

Little did she know that at that moment, the couple shared the same worries.

"What's the news today? What big thing happened in the entertainment industry? When I came in, you were engrossed in your phone, is there some new gossip?"

He Daqi sensed that the atmosphere was a bit uncomfortable, so he changed the subject and leaned over to look at Zhou Huimin's phone screen on the table.

Zhou Huimin hurriedly covered the phone screen with her hand, rolled her eyes at He Daqi, and shoved He Daqi with the other hand while still covering the phone screen with one hand.

"What are you looking at? I was just chatting with my girlfriends about some little secrets."

She couldn't let Ho Tai-kai know that she had built up his anti-fan group again. After Ho Tai-kai became an international superstar, Vivian Chow temporarily relinquished her position as the head of Ho Tai-kai's anti-fan group. Later, after the two children were exposed, Vivian Chow stopped managing Ho Tai-kai's anti-fan group altogether.

However, after He Daqi won the international Best Actor award last year, he gradually became more and more different from before. He Daqi was also dazzling before, but at least he was like an ordinary person. But now, He Daqi's dazzlingness is somewhat indescribable.

This is also why, even though He Daqi was always by her side, Zhou Huimin felt that he was getting further and further away from her.

Only when Zhou Huimin sees He Daqi constantly slandering him in various ways in the anti-fan groups can she feel that He Daqi is still a person and still by her side.

Zhou Huimin, who was a little lost in thought, looked up and glared at He Daqi as her cheek was pinched.

Before Zhou Huimin could even groan, He Daqi chuckled and gently pinched her cheeks, pulling them back and forth. Zhou Huimin shook her head from side to side as she was pulled, instantly pulling her attention away from all her other thoughts. She wrinkled her little nose and tried to punch He Daqi with her little fists, but He Daqi nimbly dodged them.

Seeing He Daqi laughing heartily, Zhou Huimin slapped the back of his hand that was pinching her cheek. "Childish!" Zhou Huimin said irritably, but her tone didn't match her expression; her smile didn't diminish much.

Seeing He Daqi turn around and walk towards the kitchen with a smile, probably to get a soft drink from the refrigerator, Zhou Huimin seemed to remember something and brought up the past again, asking He Daqi's back, "Daqi, can't you really write another play that we can both act in?"

He Daqi stopped walking, but didn't turn around.

Zhou Huimin's gaze was fixed on his back, while He Daqi's gaze wandered around.

After a long silence, He Daqi finally replied, "I can write it. If you really want to make another movie with me, I'll write a suitable one."

"You said it yourself! Go ahead and write it! I'm making it clear that I want to make another movie with you! You'll be the male lead, and I'll be the female lead."

"Okay." He Daqi didn't turn around, but agreed and continued walking towards the kitchen.

……

……

Looking at the so-called "Tree Brother" in front of him, Ning Hao was truly shocked by Wang Baoqiang.

He Daqi had previously told him to visit the set of Wang Baoqiang's new drama. Ning Hao didn't have high expectations at all, but when he arrived, wow! The guy could easily control him with just a casual smoking gesture.

Those melancholy eyes, stubble, and messy hair made Ning Hao question his very existence.

That's strange! Didn't He Daqi say that Wang Baoqiang just got his marriage certificate with Cui Bo before the Spring Festival? Why does he seem like he's been played by that scumbag woman and lost his mind?
"Hey... Baoqiang! Take it easy with your acting!"

Not far away came the loud shouts of Han Jie, the director of the "Hello! Mr. Tree" crew.

Ning Hao snapped out of his reverie, just as Jia Zhangke, who was squatting next to him, noticed him: "Junior brother, what are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed in it."

As he spoke, Jia Zhangke took out a cigarette and handed one to Ning Hao, then lit one for himself and enjoyed a good smoke.

Having connections makes things easier. Jia Zhang is the producer of this film. Otherwise, if Ning Hao had only used visiting Wang Baoqiang as an excuse to stay in this small, poorly funded film crew for three or four days with food and drink, he would probably have been politely asked to leave long ago.

We don't even have enough funds for filming, and you're still coming here to freeload? How can you do this?

"Senior, how long does it take to film this movie?"

"About forty days, what's wrong? Is something the matter? You're not planning to cast Baoqiang as the lead in your new movie, are you?"

Jia Zhangke jokingly probed Ning Hao, but to be honest, he was actually very envious of Ning Hao. Ning Hao had He Daqi standing behind him, and he never lacked investment. In fact, you couldn't even get a share if you wanted to invest.

Unlike me, who had to win over investors with meals and drinks, things have been better these past two years, with many coal mine owners willing to invest in the film and television industry. However, as the year draws to a close, I've heard that the pace at which coal mine owners are spending money is slowing down, and it's uncertain whether they'll even be there next year.

"Senior brother, you guessed right. I do want Baoqiang to play the lead role in my new movie."

Ning Hao didn't hide anything and directly talked about his plans for his new movie.

That's how the entertainment industry is. Today you're an insider, tomorrow I'm an insider. Apart from the truly outspoken ones, the rest of the information that's released is either purposeful or irrelevant.

After hearing Ning Hao's admission, Jia Zhangke took a deep drag on his cigarette. Without much hesitation, he gave Ning Hao a precise timeframe: "Filming will wrap up in early December. If you're really in a hurry, I'll have the crew rush the production."

"It's alright, no rush."

"No rush" refers to Ning Hao.

He's not in a hurry, but everyone else is.

After Ning Hao finished filming "Jinling Photo Studio," he returned to comedy films and was about to start a new film crew, which quickly spread throughout the entertainment industry.

Any actor who can speak to him is in a hurry right now.

Please mentor me, someone experienced!

Chen Chichi was in a hurry. After finishing filming Running Man, he went straight to the Love Apartment 2 crew without taking a break. Now, even before Love Apartment was finished filming, someone from the company came to greet him, saying that Ning Hao's new movie had arranged for him to play the third male lead.

What a stroke of good luck! Luckily, when Ya Yue got involved in Love Apartment, he casually asked me if I would be willing to sign with Ya Yue, and I agreed without hesitation. Otherwise, this good thing would never have happened!

Lu Han was also in a hurry. Like Chen He, he went straight to the Love Apartment 2 crew after finishing Running Man. Ning Hao probably has a habit of using familiar people, so he still chose Lu Han this time. When he heard that he had been chosen by Ning Hao as the male lead again, Lu Han was so excited that he almost jumped three meters high.

Like Chen Chichi, he is now hoping that Love Apartment 2 will wrap up filming soon so that he can focus on preparing for his role in Ning Hao's new movie.

As November 2010 rapidly approached, the atmosphere among Asian and Vietnamese artists was noticeably more restless than before.

Because besides Ning Hao, Lu Yang and Zhang Yimou also had time. The editing of "Phantom Prison Break" is almost complete, and they are just waiting for the graphics and color effects to be finished. Then the movie will be considered complete.

The special effects won't be finished anytime soon, so Lu Yang and Zhang Yimou have time to work on other things now.

Old Zhang, for some reason, decided to reminisce about his youth and wrote a script called "Under the Hawthorn Tree." He even planned a large-scale audition for the male and female leads. As soon as he had this idea, Wang Jinghua taught him a lesson.

Soon, the male lead was assigned to Zhang Jiashuai, and the female lead was assigned to Tiantian, which made Old Zhang's face, which was already at -12 degrees Celsius, drop another 10 degrees.

Wang Jinghua was too lazy to explain further. Anyway, the movie's box office performance was expected to be mediocre. And because of the movie "You Are the Apple of My Eye," Zhang Jiashuai and Tian Tian, ​​as a duo, already had fans. So, having them act in the movie might actually make Old Zhang a profit.

Especially when Tian Tian waved her hand and presented Old Zhang with this special profit-sharing contract for the movie, her face, which was already at minus forty or fifty degrees Celsius, immediately lit up with warmth.

Sweetie is really going all out. Last time, she was almost furious when He Daqi mocked her acting skills to her face. This time, with the opportunity to work with a national director like Zhang Yimou, she naturally wants to make a name for herself.

This girl probably thought she had it in the bag this time. When she returned to Ya Yue, she ran into He Daqi, who was writing a new script and discussing it with Lu Yang. She went up to him and gave him a few smug sidelong glances, implying that her acting skills would be unexpected and that she would catch up with the trophy in He Daqi's hands sooner or later.

He Daqi believed it; there was no reason not to believe it, after all, the Golden Broom Award is still an award.

He's too lazy to argue with anyone right now; he's focused on studying the script. He promised Vivian Chow that he would write another play that the two of them could collaborate on, so he's been working on the script lately.
