Chapter 110 So 'Immortal Aura' Can Be Hereditary (Please Subscribe!)

"Zhizhi, your parents wrote to you."

This Saturday afternoon, Chen Fusheng went to the news agency, mainly to pick up a letter. This morning, some colleagues from the news agency returned from Hong Kong, and Fu Qi and Shi Hui asked them to deliver a letter to Chen Fusheng and their daughter respectively.

Chen Fusheng had already read the letter to him when he was at the news agency.

The letter stated that "Andhadhun" achieved another record-breaking box office in Hong Kong in its second week, with total box office exceeding HK$1400 million as of yesterday. Although the daily box office showed signs of slowing down and right-wing newspapers were smearing and spreading rumors, given the current momentum, it should be no problem for it to surpass Hui Brothers' "Security Unlimited" from earlier this year in its third week.

If no particularly strong films emerge in the second half of the year, "Andhadhun" is almost certain to be Hong Kong's top-grossing film of the year.

Now we'll see if it can break the 20 million mark and become the first film in Hong Kong film history to surpass 20 million at the box office.

The letter also stated that the day after they returned, Baleno's owner, Owen Rossell, signed an endorsement contract with Miao Jinfeng for HK$80 per year.

This endorsement fee is now considered the treatment of a 'top-tier' star in Hong Kong.

In addition, they also mentioned in the letter to Chen Fusheng that John Luther, the previous head of the Davidson brand in Hong Kong, had been removed, and Davidson had also parachuted in a new general manager from headquarters.

However, this brand suffered a significant setback in Hong Kong, and with its competitors relentlessly attacking it while it's down, it's unlikely to recover anytime soon.

The letter ended with some casual remarks, such as inquiring about his and his family's health and whether Zhizhi had been disobedient.

After reading the letter at the news agency, Chen Fusheng directly contacted Fu Qi using their phone and spoke with him, thus avoiding the trouble of replying to the letter.

Back home, Chen Fusheng handed her another letter addressed to Fu Mingxian, then took his daughter from her arms.

Yes, after a week, Chen Qian had already become familiar with the new nanny who had suddenly appeared in her home, unlike when they first met, when she would cry after hugging her for a while.

"Sisi, were you a good girl today?"

"Dad~"

"Eh~"

Now, every day when Chen Fusheng comes home, the thing he looks forward to hearing most is "Dad."

And as her daughter grows up day by day, she calls out "Dad" more and more clearly.

But this little one probably didn't sleep much this afternoon. Chen Fusheng had only played with her for a short while when he saw her start to yawn and her eyes become glazed over.

Chen Fusheng simply coaxed her a little, and his daughter fell asleep peacefully in his arms.

It's a tiny little thing, so well-behaved and adorable.

"Zhizhi, what did your parents say to you in their letter?"

After putting his daughter on the bed, Chen Fusheng came out and saw that Fu Mingxian had also finished reading the letter. He asked him about it out of curiosity.

"Don't tell you."

"You still won't tell me? Fine, bring me your homework so I can check it."

"I haven't done my homework yet; I've been helping you take care of the kids." Fu Ming first used this tried-and-true excuse, and before Chen Fusheng could reply, she changed the subject again: "Where's Qianqian?"

"She's asleep, so no one will bother you now. Go get your textbooks and do your homework for today."

"I'll do it tonight."

"You said the lighting was bad again tonight. Stop making excuses for me. Go now, or I'll tell your parents next time they contact you."

"Brother Chen, how old are you? Why do you still like to tattle?"

"If you behave, I won't tell your uncle and aunt."

"Okay, okay, I'll write it, alright?"

Later, seeing that Fu Mingxian was gradually focusing, Chen Fusheng watched for a while and also became a little bored.

Bored, he thought that tomorrow was the weekend and his wife would invite Director Yang Jie to their home. He had promised to write an episode of the script for their "Journey to the West" production team. Since he had nothing else to do, he decided to write it now.

Just do it.

Chen Fusheng went back to his room, found paper and pen, and sat down right next to Fu Mingxian to copy—or rather, adapt—"Journey to the West."

"What are you writing, Brother Chen?"

"This has nothing to do with you. Do your homework."

"Humph."

Chen Fusheng picked up his pen and recalled the scenes of the character Chang'e in "Journey to the West". It seemed that she only appeared in two episodes.

One episode is about Sun Wukong causing havoc in Heaven. The Jade Emperor invites Buddha to suppress him under the Five Fingers Mountain. Then, Heaven holds a "Peaceful Heaven Assembly" at the Queen Mother's Heavenly Pool to celebrate the event. At the same time, the Moon Goddess Chang'e from the Moon Palace is invited to dance at the Heavenly Pool to entertain everyone. During the banquet, Marshal Tianpeng gets drunk (or perhaps he was tricked by the West). After Chang'e leaves, he follows her all the way to the outside of the Moon Palace. Driven by lust, he goes up to harass her, foreshadowing his later banishment to the mortal world.

In another episode, Tang Sanzang and his disciples arrive in India and encounter the Jade Rabbit Spirit causing trouble. Just as the Jade Rabbit is about to be killed by the Monkey King's staff, Chang'e descends to earth and saves the rabbit from the Monkey King's clutches.

In the later episode, "Chang'e Captures the Jade Rabbit in Tianzhu," Chang'e has very little screen time and is just a plot device, so Chen Fusheng doesn't plan to write it.

There were only two options to begin with, and now one has been eliminated, so of course we have to choose the remaining one.

The title of the episode that Chen Fusheng is going to write is "Imprisoned on the Five Elements Mountain".

Since he wanted to see his wife finish this episode as soon as possible, he naturally had to write out the entire story.

However, when he actually put pen to paper, he had to mention the earlier part of the story, because "Imprisoned Under the Five Elements Mountain" is not a complete story; it is just the ending of the Monkey King's havoc in Heaven.

-

"The Monkey King was here!"

Sun Wukong looked at the five pillars of heaven and thought he had arrived at the edge of the sky.

But just as he was about to return, he feared that the Buddha would not acknowledge his promise, so he left the above words on one of the pillars and even urinated under the pillar.

Just when he thought he had the upper hand and could get the Jade Emperor to relinquish the Heavenly Palace, Buddha revealed his true form, and only then did Sun Wukong realize he had fallen into a trap.

……

This move is called the Buddhist Kingdom in the Palm of the Hand. From the moment Sun Wukong agreed to the bet with Buddha, he had already lost.

That's why when Sun Wukong was suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain of Buddha, he cried out, "Buddha, I, Old Sun, have been deceived by you! I've been deceived by you!"

After the monkey was suppressed, the Heavenly Court held a grand ceremony to celebrate the event.

When he was preparing to write about Chang'e's appearance, he felt that the scenes in the original work were not amazing enough because he was imagining his own wife in the role.

He lacked inspiration, but inspiration came to him.

No, it's my wife who got off work.

"Why did you leave work earlier than me today?"

Liu Xiaoli asked this question because her workplace was closer to home than Chen Fusheng's, and she had been going home first for the past few days.

"I didn't have much to do today, so I got back at three o'clock."

"So early?" Liu Xiaoli asked in surprise.

"I went to the news agency this afternoon because I had something to do, and after I came out, I didn't want to go back to the office..." Chen Fusheng explained simply.

Liu Xiaoli nodded, and then noticed what he was writing.

Curious, I asked, "What are you writing?"

"I mentioned before that I would write a script for your production team. I was bored just now, and I had some ideas in my head, so I wrote it down."

"You actually wrote it."

"What else? You think I'm joking with you?"

Liu Xiaoli stepped forward in shock: "Quick, let me see it."

"I haven't finished writing it yet. I just got to the part where 'you' should appear, but I'm a little short on inspiration."

As he spoke, Chen Fusheng handed the script he had just written to his wife.

At the same time, he asked:

"You said you'd invite Director Yang Jie to your home this weekend, did you? You haven't forgotten, have you?"

"Am I such a careless person? Of course I told you! I was worried you were too busy with work and would have to work overtime tomorrow," Liu Xiaoli said.

"That's good. My film crew hasn't started shooting yet, so I'm not particularly busy."

Chen Fusheng handed the unfinished script to his wife, then pointed to her handbag and said, "Give me your bag."

"Row."

Liu Xiaoli didn't stand on ceremony with him. She took off her personal handbag and handed it to Chen Fusheng, then sat down to carefully read the script.

As soon as she sat down, a little head suddenly leaned over and said, "Sister Xiaoli, I want to watch with you."

Chen Fusheng hesitated, but first picked up Fu Mingxian's homework and looked at it. He found that the girl had done quite a lot this afternoon, so he didn't say anything more to her.

Seeing that the two of them were engrossed in reading the script, Chen Fusheng didn't stand there to 'serve' them. Instead, he took his wife's handbag and went into the house to check if his daughter was awake.

"Oops, I peed again."

Chen Fusheng noticed that his daughter was still asleep, but her diaper was wet.

The elderly father, of course, couldn't ignore it, so he first helped his daughter remove her wet diaper. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that she hadn't pooped.

However, despite his careful movements, he still managed to wake the little guy up.

Seeing that his daughter was about to cry, Chen Fusheng quickly picked her up and comforted her.

At the same time, he opened the wardrobe, intending to get a clean diaper for his daughter to change.

Is the baby awake?

Later, when Chen Fusheng went to fetch water, he ran into his mother-in-law.

"Yes, Mom."

"Did you poop?"

"No, I just peed."

"Oh."

After the conversation ended, Chen Fusheng fetched water to wipe his daughter clean and then changed her diaper.

After skillfully completing all of this, Chen Fusheng realized that the wardrobe door was not closed.

Just as he reached out to close the door, his eyes fell on several dresses he had brought back for his wife from the Cannes Film Festival.

Unfortunately, his wife never wore it.

But looking at these dresses, Chen Fusheng had a vague idea for Chang'e's entrance design.

Liu Xiaoli has finished reading the script. How should she evaluate it?
Although she felt a little sorry for the two screenwriters in the group, Liu Xiaoli's true feeling was that he was indeed worthy of being her husband. Even when adapting famous works, his work was unmatched.

"How was it?" Chen Fusheng asked as his wife, holding their daughter, approached him after reading the script.

"The adaptation is very good. The story is tight and the pacing is not slow at all. I feel that after Director Yang Jie watches it tomorrow, he will probably ask you to write the script for other episodes."

"Let her film this episode first."

Chen Fusheng watched Yang Jie's version of "Journey to the West" countless times in his previous life. It's no exaggeration to say that the content of every episode is in his mind. So, if you really asked Chen Fusheng to write it, it's not that he couldn't write it. But having a script alone is not enough. At that time, TV series were filmed even slower than movies. Moreover, for a classic like "Journey to the West," it was even more important to strive for perfection and pursue a slow and meticulous approach.

Maybe if he brings out the original script now, director Yang Jie might change it later when filming.

Therefore, he can write, but he doesn't need to write everything.

Of course, Chen Fusheng couldn't share these thoughts with his wife, so he just laughed it off and changed the subject:

"Honey, can we make a deal?"

"What discussion?"

"I'm looking for inspiration for Chang'e's entrance. Could you dance for me?"

"Can my dancing really inspire you?" Liu Xiaoli asked with some skepticism.

"Yes, you can, trust me."

"...Okay, I'll give it a try."

Although she still had some doubts, Liu Xiaoli didn't mind fulfilling her husband's request.

"What kind of dance would you like to see? I've studied ballet, folk dance, and classical dance. What would you like to see?"

“Classical dance.” Chen Fusheng blurted out without hesitation, because it was impossible to have ‘Chang’e Fairy’ perform ballet and folk dance at the An Tian Conference; the scene was simply unimaginable.

"Then I'll dance 'Spring River Flower Moon Night,' which is my best classical dance."

After saying that, Liu Xiaoli struck a pose, intending to perform for her husband on the spot.

Chen Fusheng quickly called for a halt.

"Wait a moment."

"Uh, what's wrong?"

Chen Fusheng handed his daughter to his curious mother-in-law, then went into the bedroom, taking out a white dress in one hand and a yellow dress in the other.

He said, "Wife, put this on before you dance."

Looking at the two dresses, Liu Xiaoli could roughly guess her husband's thoughts, but she still felt somewhat ashamed.

"Do I really need to change them? I feel they're all about the same."

"That's a huge difference, and there are no outsiders here, so what are you shy about?"

As soon as he said that, Fu Mingxian clapped his hands and chimed in, "I want to see, I want to see! Sister Xiaoli, you'll definitely look especially beautiful dancing in a dress."

Liu Xiaoli glanced back at the girl who seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, and at the same time noticed that her daughter in her mother's arms was also staring at her with wide, curious eyes. With a determined heart, she decided to go all out.

"Do you need my help?"

After his wife agreed, Chen Fusheng began to look forward to it.

He was looking forward not only to finding inspiration, but also to seeing his wife in a dress, and even more so to the sight of her dancing gracefully in a dress.

"Need not."

Liu Xiaoli took the dress from her husband and then glared at him irritably.

Next, Liu Xiaoli changed her clothes inside the house, while Chen Fusheng and the other three waited anxiously outside.

five minutes,
ten minutes,
fifteen minutes……

Just when everyone was getting impatient, the door opened.

Liu Xiaoli walked out wearing a yellow, belted, wide-sleeved long dress.

If it were just changing clothes, it definitely wouldn't take that long, but she also made herself a headdress, a headdress more suitable for ancient costumes, and applied lipstick and a little light makeup, especially drawing floral patterns on her forehead.

At first glance, they all look very 'rough', but overall, only one word came to Chen Fusheng's mind to describe them: 'immortal'!
It even evokes a sense of déjà vu, like when Chen Fusheng in his past life watched the bearded version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and saw Xiaolongnu's appearance.

It turns out that this ethereal quality can be inherited.

Not only Chen Fusheng, but Fu Mingxian was also amazed by Xiaoli's ethereal new look.

Even the mother-in-law looked surprised.

Only Xiaotianxian looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar mother and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

"How is it?" Liu Xiaoli asked deliberately, though she had already taken in everyone's surprised expressions.

"Stunning, otherworldly, wife, I would believe you if you said you were the real Chang'e descended to earth."

"Is it so exaggerated?"

"Sister Xiaoli, it's not an exaggeration at all. You look so beautiful, like a real fairy."

Liu Xiaoli received a lot of recognition, and she was actually quite happy.

"Shall I start dancing now?"

"Okay," Chen Fusheng nodded, adding, "Looking forward to it."

"I look forward to it too."

Next, Liu Xiaoli performed her signature piece, "Spring River Flower Moon Night".

She danced beautifully; the hem of her skirt seemed to come alive with her graceful movements, swaying and dancing along.

Chen Fusheng couldn't help but get immersed in it as well.

However, after watching it, it is indeed beautiful.

This dance is not really suitable for performing on Tianchi Lake.

Because it lacks a touch of ethereal beauty and grandeur.

After Liu Xiaoli stopped, she noticed her husband frowning and couldn't help but ask, "Was there something wrong with my dancing?"

"It's not your problem, it's the problem with your dance."

As Chen Fusheng spoke, he got up and walked to his wife's side. After thinking for a moment, he added, "Wife, follow my instructions to do one movement: use one foot as the axis, keep your body straight, and then rotate continuously and evenly."

"Okay!" Liu Xiaoli nodded.

She knew her husband was drawing inspiration from her, and she also looked forward to seeing how he would design the character of Chang'e, whom she played in "Journey to the West."

So they cooperated very well.

The actions described by Chen Fusheng would be a bit difficult for ordinary people.

However, for professional actors, this move is considered simple.

Therefore, Liu Xiaoli only took a little time to get a feel for it before starting to spin around in place using one foot as the pivot.

As she turned, her skirt spun along with her...

As Chen Fusheng watched, his eyes grew brighter and brighter; he knew how to design the next part of the plot.
