Chapter 284 "Hahaha, Qi Hui, congratulations on your fortune!"

Guisi Year of the Snake, first month

It is auspicious to travel, pray for blessings, visit relatives and friends, and exchange New Year's greetings.

Qi Hui, Jing Tian, ​​and Lao Ling went to Xiao Zhang's new home to offer New Year's greetings.

He moved to a detached house before the new year, which is pretty good.

Not only Qi Hui and his group, but also Xiao Zhang's stepmother Liu Bei and Xiao Zhang's half-brother.

A six or seven-year-old boy.

This is Liu Bei's son with her second husband, Zhang Lisheng. The couple divorced when the child was one year old, and the child stayed with Liu Bei.

However, Zhang Jian, Zhang's father, did not appear, and the specific reason is unknown.

The family's relationships were somewhat complicated, so Qi Hui and the others didn't ask any further questions.

Liu Bei smiled and was very friendly. He got along well with Jing Tian, ​​Tang Yixin, and Tang Yifei.

……

After finishing with Xiao Zhang, Qi Hui and Jing Tian went to Wu Jing's house in Fengtai the next day to pay their respects for the New Year.

Qi Hui and Guo Fan each brought their female relatives to the door, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Lu Yang also came, but he was all alone.

Everyone at the dinner table was in pairs, except for him, who was all alone.

Qi Hui, Wu Jing, and Guo Fan exchanged a glance and decided to trick Lu Yang. They immediately began their assembly-line operation:

First, Jing Tian fed Qi Hui wine.

Secondly, Xie Nan served food to Wu Jing.

Next, Guo's wife fed Guo Fan.

Three couples, six people in total, were all together, sweet and loving. Next up was Lu Yang's turn.

This scene made Lu Yang's teeth ache, and he quickly drank some wine to calm his nerves.

So sour!
What's going on with this food and this wine?

It tastes sour, like it's been soaked in vinegar, and it's not tasty at all. I'll never eat it again!
Feeling depressed, Lu Yang began to drift off into his own thoughts, pondering other things, including his own movie.

Thanks to that press conference, his film received investment, though not much.

Once the props and costumes are finished, we'll continue looking for investors.

Brother Qi said I could contact him for investments; this big shot makes a lot of money and has a rich woman supporting him.

If we don't ask him for the money, who else should we ask for it from...? Hmm?

Thinking about this, Lu Yang realized something was wrong; Qi Hui seemed to have lost weight.

She became... haggard and thin.

why?
Lu Yang drank silently, puzzled.

……

Apartment building, upstairs room.

Qi Hui was quickly washing the dishes, drying them with a towel, and then casually folding them into a square of tofu.

At this moment, Jing Tian appeared behind him and hugged Qi Hui's waist.

"Hehe... Darling, don't move." She laughed, "Let me measure your waist."

As I kept measuring my waist, it turned into my bust measurement.

As I kept measuring my chest, it turned into my head circumference.

Before Qi Hui could react, the face wash was already smeared on his face.

The space has also been moved from the kitchen to the living room sofa.

Qi Hui: “…”

An hour or so later, Jing Tian asked, "Will you come again after you take a shower?"

Qi Hui: “…”

An hour or so after taking a shower, Jing Tian asked, "Want to come again before bed?"

Qi Hui: “…”

An hour or so before going to bed, Jing Tian asked, "Will you come again after you wake up?"

Qi Hui: “…”

I have grown thin and haggard for her sake, yet I would never regret undressing and taking off my clothes.

Despite Qi Hui's strenuous efforts to help, he gradually lost weight, and the weight loss effect was clearly visible to the naked eye.

Jing Tian is similar; her skin is getting better and better, fair, delicate, and radiant.

With a lot of exercise, the slight baby fat on my face disappeared quickly.

Of course, the main focus is also on controlling diet and weight.

In "The Beginning," she plays a third-year female college student who will appear slightly chubby on camera, so she needs to lose some weight.

……

After the Lunar New Year holiday, it's time to get back to work.

Qi Hui finished the storyboard and storyboard, and then worked with Xiao Yang to develop a shooting plan.

After finishing all that, Xiao Yang went to Lucheng, Fujian Province, to discuss cooperation and submit reports.

The opening scenes will be filmed there, as will the explosion scenes.

For the explosion scenes, Qi Hui plans to primarily use live-action filming, supplemented by special effects.

He has the explosive skills of Michael Bay... oh no, I mean the filming skills of Michael Bay.

It just doesn't feel right if I don't try an explosion scene.

Qi Hui got busy, and Wu Jing and the others weren't idle either.

While Wu Jing was working on his military action movie, he also had to make cameo appearances to repay favors.

Li Lianjie called him, saying they wanted him to have a cameo role in a movie. It was a fight scene, with Wu Jing and Li Lianjie fighting each other.

However, he doesn't plan to act in any productions for the next two years; he wants to focus on military action films.

Because it wasn't just Qi Hui; Lu Yang's side also started doing it.

Lu Yang and his father gathered a few people, rented a studio, and designed the brocade uniforms and embroidered spring knives for the Imperial Guards.

Besides the Embroidered Uniform Guard, there were also the Five City Garrison, the Ministry of Justice, and various knives.

The goose-feather knife, goose-wing knife, Miao knife, double-edged flying swallow knife, and many other items from the Ming Dynasty all need to be redesigned.

We also need to research and figure out the structure of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

He does not intend to refer to or adopt the designs of his counterparts on Hong Kong Island.

Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and the Thirteen Forms of the Ming Dynasty... these are just random things to watch for fun.

He is a professional director and cannot disregard history.

His films are different from those made by Li Rengang, a pro-British Hong Kong figure.

Guo Fan is also working on a script. He has done a lot of research and found that youth romance films are very popular in the market.

Guo Fan pondered that youth romance films alone were not enough.

There's a bit of an overabundance of youth romance films these days, like "You Are the Apple of My Eye," which is mostly of this type.

If he wants to make a film, he has to come up with something new.

Guo Fan chewed on his pen, deep in thought, trying to figure out what to add...

Oh, right!

A thought flashed through Guo Fan's mind, and he remembered Qi Hui's complaints when they were in Hollywood.

That guy said Hollywood is getting more and more outrageous.

It's one thing to adapt novels, comics, and fairy tales into movies, but why is even a painting being adapted into a movie?

Qi Hui was referring to the movie "Girl with a Pearl Earring" starring Scarlett Johansson.

This topic was mainly started by Guo Fan. At that time, we were talking about Hollywood beauties, and he... cough cough, mentioned Scarlett Johansson.

After all, Scarlett is very popular and will be starring in his favorite sci-fi movies, such as "Eight Legged Monsters," "The Island," and "Iron Man."

Guo Fan liked it more and more as he looked at it... Never mind that, let's get back to the main topic.

Where were we just now...? Guo Fan scratched his head. Oh right, what would be a good addition to a youth romance film?

Hollywood can even turn a painting into a movie, so can I find a painting and make a teen romance film?
Guo Fan pondered, but quickly crossed out his thoughts on the paper.

That's too much trouble, I need to find another medium... I've got it, a song!

A sudden inspiration struck Guo Fan: there are so many youth folk songs in China!

Just find an adaptation of a song related to youthful love.

Of course, the songs should be different from the vulgar emotions in other youth romance films.

After thinking for a moment, Guo Fan quickly wrote down the name of a song on the paper: "My Deskmate".

Now that we have the idea, we'll go to China Film Group for support.

If this commercial film fails, his subsequent science fiction films will also be canceled.

When a lion hunts a rabbit, it must use its full strength.

Contacting China Film Group is the normal procedure; not doing so would be considered foolish.

……

the other side.

Yixin Film and Television, Qi Hui's office.

He is figuring out how to cast the actors for "The Beginning".

First of all, he and Jing Tian are the male and female leads, Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing.

Lao Ling plays Zhang Cheng, the captain of the criminal police.

Xiao Zhang plays Lu Di... oh no, I mean the chivalrous Lu Xiaoyu.

The actress who played Aunt Guo Tao Yinghong, Qi Hui, has also been found; she is Liu Dan.

I met her at Peking University last time, and Qi Hui even gave her a crocodile tooth.

Because of the different clothes and the fact that Aunt Guo is still quite young, Qi Hui didn't recognize her at first.

I only realized it after I went back and thought about it.

It takes no effort at all!

Who would be a suitable match for driver Wang Xingde?

Qi Hui initially thought of Zhang Songwen, but found that he was still very young.

Upon asking, I learned that he was actually two years younger than Wu Jing.

Too young, not suitable.

After some thought, Qi Hui gave the role of driver to Wang Qiang.

That is, Long Baichuan from the Dragon Team in "Fire Blue Blade".

This person looks like a positive character, and the audience will subconsciously want the protagonist to seek help from him.

But who would have thought that this was actually a villain?
Hehehe... Our viewers will definitely be pleasantly surprised and very happy.

Jingle bell bell~
Just then, Qi Hui's cell phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Sun Molong.

"Hey?"

"Haha, Happy New Year, Chairman! Congratulations on your fortune!"

Qi Hui: “…”

This sounds a bit off; it sounds like a telecom fraud scam!
