Chapter 19: Farming
The noodle shop was brightly lit, and passersby occasionally noticed them.
However, it's normal to see celebrities in Hengdian, so it doesn't seem strange. You just take a second look.
But people are still very curious about Qin Xuan, who is next to Liu Yifei, as some of them had met him a few days ago.
I just don't know how they got together.
"Xiao Xuan, call me when you're done," Liu Xiaoli changed the subject.
Consider it a venture capital investment, something worth tens of thousands of yuan.
"Okay, then I'll leave you my phone number. I'll let you know when it's time to sign the contract." Qin Xuan took out a piece of paper and a pen from his pocket.
"There's a contract to sign?" Liu Yifei found it strange.
Qin Xuan was already used to being stabbed by her, and turned to the side and said, "Of course we have. Although we haven't officially formed a team yet, we still have the most basic rules and procedures. We are doing serious business."
"Sure, sure, then leave me your phone number." Liu Yifei became interested.
"Write it yourself, but write it neatly. I'm not well-educated and can't understand it," Qin Xuan said jokingly.
I was somewhat influenced by Liu Yifei's outgoing personality; her occasional jokes made him feel less awkward and distant, so he relaxed a bit more.
"Tch," Liu Yifei said, not believing him. She picked up a pen and wrote her name and phone number on a piece of paper.
Qin Xuan picked it up and looked at it. Her handwriting was different from her appearance and personality; it was vigorous and powerful, with a feel of calligraphy.
The strokes are exceptionally clean and crisp, clearly showing that the artist has practiced frequently since childhood.
"Liu Yifei? What a nice name." Qin Xuan exclaimed in admiration.
"You did this on purpose, didn't you?" Liu Yifei punched him. He knew perfectly well what his name was, yet he still deliberately read it out.
Liu Xiaoli shook her head and said, "Okay, let's go back!"
"You can eat here slowly. I have a kissing scene to film tomorrow, so I need to go back and rest early. This meal is on me." Liu Yifei stood up, patted his shoulder, and prepared to leave.
"A kissing scene?!" Qin Xuan looked up in surprise.
"Um, it was added at the last minute, what's wrong?" Liu Yifei looked at him with a puzzled expression, feeling that the man's reaction was a bit abnormal.
Qin Xuan paused, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said calmly, "Nothing much."
Liu Xiaoli's gaze lingered on the boy and her daughter, as if trying to discern something.
"Bye then." Liu Yifei waved.
Qin Xuan didn't say anything, just waved casually at her, and then continued eating his noodles.
Even after the mother and daughter left, he continued eating his noodles.
After a while, Qin Xuan walked out of the noodle shop and looked at the neon-lit street scene with a sense of loss. He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number: "Old Shen, time to farm."
"So, so, what did President Xuan say?" In a dormitory room, Zhang Linke and the others were very excited when they received a call from Qin Xuan.
They all gathered around the Olympic bid site, asking about the situation.
After all, they hadn't heard from Qin Xuan for several days and didn't know how he was doing.
"He said he was bringing some trustworthy brothers, and we would meet at a certain place in three days because he had something to discuss with us," Shen Ao said.
"That means President Xuan is about to make a move. I knew it. President Xuan wouldn't be defeated so easily, nor would he abandon us brothers. He definitely has a plan." Zhang Linke said excitedly, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
The others were also quite interested.
"Did they say what time?" Li Miao asked. "Of course it's in the evening. We have to film during the day, so we can't go," Shen Ao replied.
“Okay, let’s bring more brothers with us then. We can’t let President Xuan think we’ve lost our faith. The more brothers we have, the better we can maintain appearances.” Zhang Linke looked at them.
"Yes!" The group nodded.
That's right. They were originally brought together by this belief, and the fire in their hearts must not be extinguished.
"There's another thing we need to do. Teacher Liu has a kissing scene with that foreigner, right? Boss Xuan said it's like sending a girl to the foreigner. Our two kung fu superstars escorting this foreign loser is disgusting enough."
Our national goddess is actually going to give herself to this foreign loser. He thinks this is exporting trashy values and using movies to poison those ignorant Chinese girls.
So he asked us to find ways to prevent this from happening. Isn't it our responsibility as cultural workers to shape the correct values of the people and boost their self-confidence? That's what President Xuan said.
Shen Ao relayed Qin Xuan's words.
He even resorted to grand principles, including ideology, to poison the minds of young girls. It just goes to show that whenever Qin Xuan wants to accomplish something, he always manages to make it sound incredibly noble and lofty.
It makes people feel that doing this is meaningful.
Actually, he just felt a little uncomfortable; he couldn't get over that hurdle.
He knew that the movie had kissing scenes, after all, he had worked on the set and seen the movie trailers. He hadn't thought anything of it before, but after Liu Yifei mentioned it, he couldn't understand it.
"President Xuan is right. I've always felt that this trashy movie has warped values, but I couldn't quite put my finger on why. After hearing what President Xuan said, I suddenly understand. An American loser leading two of our top experts to fight monsters, and our goddess even has to throw herself at him. Holy crap, are Americans really that noble?" Zhang Linke said with great empathy.
Li Miao smiled and exposed him, saying, "It's like you, a photography intern, know the plot."
"Just tell me if I'm right or wrong!" Zhang Linke said.
“Yes, that makes sense, but that’s what President Xuan said, what do you know?” Li Miao said.
Actually, they didn't know the specific plot; they had only heard about it. But now, after hearing Qin Xuan's explanation, they roughly understood what the movie was about.
Everyone laughed; the two were just bickering.
Shen Ao interrupted their conversation at the opportune moment: "So what do we do then?"
“Of course we stopped them,” Zhang Linke said.
"Although we can't change anything, it's good to change even a little bit, and that's the responsibility of us cultural workers."
Li Miao agreed, then asked, "But what should we do?"
This question stumped everyone present; they were just ordinary employees and couldn't stop the creators from filming whatever they wanted.
And President Xuan didn't offer them any advice, he just told them to sabotage the whole thing.
“How about this? We’ll spread rumors, say something about sending girls or something, that it affects the public’s feelings and distorts their values, forcing them to change the story.” Shen Ao looked at them.
After a moment of silence, the group nodded and said, "That's the only way."
That's all they can do. They can't possibly disrupt the filming location, because people will still film anyway, and that would be illegal.
In fact, there wasn't much Qin Xuan could do. Even if he were on set, there wasn't much he could do because his status was too low.
The next day, rumors began circulating among the crew of "The Forbidden Kingdom".
"Kissing scenes are morally questionable."
"Paying out of pocket!"
