Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 128 SMS
Hu Xiaobei's only impression of Shu Chang is the Child-Fairy of Tianshan.

However, Hu Xiaobei knew about TV series like Silly Girl, Shui Sheng, and The Lotus Lantern, but he had never watched them.

Most of the information I have about her was learned indirectly when I was reading someone's novel with a single female protagonist.

After all, it was their first meeting, and the two of them just greeted each other politely and didn't communicate much else.

However, An Xiaoqian was chatting with her enthusiastically in the back row, as if she had a lot to say.

Since it is not a holiday, there are not many people playing in the amusement park, so there is no need to worry about getting lost.

The two little girls were somewhat famous at this time, so they both wore masks while playing.

Hu Xiaobei and Liu Xiaoli have nothing to do with each other, and almost no one pays attention to them.

There are many things to do in the amusement park. Except for some seemingly dangerous and exciting ones, Hu Xiaobei and his companions are generally unwilling to get involved.

The whole afternoon was spent playing with him.

For Shu Chang, it was a very enjoyable experience.

She sat in the first row of the roller coaster. As the roller coaster dived rapidly, she sometimes widened her eyes, with fear and excitement mixed on her face, and sometimes she couldn't help screaming loudly.

However, An Xiaoqian next to him felt normal. Although she was a little nervous, she was mostly relaxed and happy with a smile on her face.

Ever since she experienced free gliding and went through the thrilling and exciting high-freedom wing control.

This unique experience made her feel true freedom and excitement. Every time she soared in the air, it was like challenging herself and exploring unknown boundaries.

But when she came to the amusement park again and passively experienced those seemingly dangerous and exciting projects, her state of mind had undergone a huge change.

The attractions that once brought her excitement in the amusement park can no longer stir her heart.

I always feel like something is missing, and it doesn’t feel as fun as before.

This contrasting feeling kept echoing in her heart, making her miss those moments of free flying even more.

When she thought of this, she turned her gaze to Hu Xiaobei, tapped the ground with her toes, leaned forward, and looked eager to try.

Hu Xiaobei seemed to sense something, and just glanced at her quickly, then quietly moved away from someone.

In public, An Xiaoqian didn't know what to say. She just gave Hu Xiaobei a fierce look that showed she was waiting to see what was happening, and then let it go.

An Xiaoqian and Shu Chang played until dinner time before reluctantly leaving the amusement park.

Afterwards, the four of them had a meal together, and it was not until after seven o'clock in the evening that they sent Shu Chang back home.

Finally, Hu Xiaobei was sent back to Beijing Film Academy, and today's play activity came to an end.

After An Xiaoqian returned home and washed up, she leaned against the head of the bed and chatted with Shu Chang through text messages out of boredom.

She tilted her head, crossed her legs, rested one hand casually on her leg, and held her cell phone in the other hand.

On the screen was a message from Shu Chang: "What is your relationship with that top scorer in the college entrance examination, Hu Xiaobei?"

Seeing this message, An Xiaoqian couldn't help but smile softly, and her fingers tapped on the phone to reply: "Same as you, they are all my good friends, and my father introduced them to me."

After replying, she seemed to recall the interesting moments when she was with Hu Xiaobei. Her shoulders trembled slightly, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, and she laughed softly.

"!!!" Soon, Shu Chang sent a series of exclamation marks.

An Xiaoqian looked at the screen, frowning slightly, her face full of confusion, and replied with a few question marks: "???"

Then, Shu Chang's message arrived again: "Xixi, have you noticed that you have become much more childish recently?"

An Xiaoqian blinked, her eyes full of confusion, and asked again: "???"

Shu Chang sent a text message and added: "Not really... How should I put it, it's only when you're with him that you seem a little silly!"

An Xiaoqian pouted slightly, her fingers tapping the keys rapidly. "Stupid? How could that be? He's obviously the dumber one. Okay, I'm certainly not as smart as him, isn't that reasonable?"

Shu Chang seemed to be in a hurry to explain, and the message popped up immediately: "I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about comparison, comparison, you know?

You're fine when you're with me, but when you're talking to him or arguing with him, it feels a little different."

An Xiaoqian held her chin, thought seriously for a while, and replied: "Do you feel the same way?
He's like an adult. Every time I play with him, I feel at ease, like I'm with my dad."

After sending the message, An Xiaoqian didn't receive a reply from Shu Chang for a long time, and she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Just as she was about to put down her phone, Shu Chang's message finally arrived: "..."

An Xiaoqian looked at the string of ellipsis and became even more confused: "Maybe what I said is not quite right, even to the elders... it's not quite right, how should I put it!

I don't have a brother, and I don't know if it feels this way, but it feels very safe and comfortable." After a while, Shu Chang replied, "Okay, I was wrong. I don't have a brother either, so I can't feel it.

However, he does give me a very mature feeling, a bit like an elder."

An Xiaoqian, as if she had discovered something unique, curiously asked, "What did you think was wrong?"

But what he got was Shu Chang's perfunctory reply: "Forgot... Go to bed early!"

An Xiaoqian thought that today was her birthday and she might be busy eating cake at home, so she replied, "Okay, good night."

Then he put down his phone and ended this somewhat strange conversation.

After Principal Zhang's advance adjustments, Hu Xiaobei can officially use various related equipment during different specified time periods this month.

There was a reason for calling in the equipment, and it was mainly for the work of the Condor Heroes crew.

The first step is to pre-edit some of the previously filmed shots related to Xiaolongnu.

However, the workload for this part is very small, mainly because the interior scenes have not been completed yet.

The second step was to edit and produce a promotional video for Xiaolongnu to build momentum for the drama The Return of the Condor Heroes in advance.

In order to make the promotional video more attractive, Hu Xiaobei decided to produce it in the form of a MV, which is one of the reasons why he was able to take paid leave for such a long time.

In the crew of The Return of the Condor Heroes, he received double salary, 5000 RMB as assistant and 10000 RMB as consultant, totaling 15000 RMB per month.

Even though Hu Xiaobei was on paid leave, he still received four months' salary for this year in advance, a total of 4 RMB.

In comparison, even the heroine of this drama, An Xiaoqian, has a relatively low income.

Although his salary has not been officially disclosed, according to various analyses, it should be less than 30 RMB.

Based on the 40-episode length of The Return of the Condor Heroes, the average pay per episode is probably less than 7500 RMB.

Not only the main character's pay is like this, but the pay for everyone else is also relatively affordable.

At that time, Da Huzi was even more famous than An Xiaoqian. He made a guest appearance as Yelu Chucai in two episodes, but was only paid 20,000 yuan.

(PS: Da Huzi once said in an interview: Huang Xiaoming was only paid 8,000 yuan per episode of The Return of the Condor Heroes.)
The material used to make the MV came from the footage of Little Dragon Girl shot by the Return of the Condor Heroes crew, so there was no need to shoot it separately.

But it is not enough to have only the materials to make an MV, you also need relevant music to match the editing scenes.

According to Hu Xiaobei's statement at the time, it would be best if An Xiaoqian herself sang the relevant personal songs in the Little Dragon Girl MV.

It was for this reason that Hu Xiaobei had an excuse to bring An Xiaoqian back to Beijing Film Academy.

Hu Xiaobei has also prepared the song, which is adapted from the song of the same name "Waiting for Your Return" by the original Time and Space Li Chengxiang.

However, due to time constraints, this song has not yet been born.

Due to memory problems, Hu Xiaobei only remembers part of the lyrics and melody.

Therefore, some modifications will be made based on the drama The Return of the Condor Heroes and An Xiaoqian's own characteristics.

After the modification, it is still about 30% similar to the original song in my memory.

From the perspective of character adaptation, this song is very suitable for the role of Xiaolongnu, whether it is modified or not.

After all, Xiaolongnu waited at the bottom of the Valley of Unrequited Love for sixteen years.

As for which one is better, it all depends on personal taste.

But in terms of compatibility with An Xiaoqian, the current version is definitely better.

　Maybe this book has reached 300,000 words. I received the notice of listing around 3:30 this afternoon.

　　This book performed very poorly. After talking to the editor, I originally wanted to get 3,000 to 5,000 collections first.

　　But the increase in collections is indeed slow, and it will probably take a month to add a thousand collections.

　　This seems to take too long and is unrealistic.

　　Sorry, it will be released on March 3st.

　　Everyone should just read the book normally. Don't give me rewards to urge me to update the book just because it's on the shelves. I won't update it, and I won't update more frequently just because of rewards. Let's not adopt this model.

　　Again, if you like it, you can leave more comments. Comments are my spiritual food.

　　Finally, thank you all for your support.

　　Well, that's it.
