Du Yunxiang said to Liu Wangxue, "We are in a rush to catch up with the Spring Festival, so the result will probably be out by the end of the month. The approval process still needs to go through, but since it is a government-supported project, the procedures will be faster. Even so, the official start of construction will take until April at the latest."
Having said that, Du Yunxiang talked to Liu Wangxue about the filming plan of this drama.
Only a part of it will be completed by the beginning of next year, and it is impossible to complete the filming of this drama in one season. Du Yunxiang's plan is to first build the venue needed for the filming of the first season at the amusement park. Even if it is not completed by the beginning of next year, it doesn't matter. The crew can go to shoot the exterior scenes first, or build and shoot indoors at the same time.
Liu Wangxue asked: "Does the casting have to start in the middle of this year? After all, the revised script has added a force value system, and some characters have heavy fighting scenes, so the actors have to join the group for training in advance."
Liu Wangxue didn't want to use actors who knew nothing and had to learn all the martial arts moves on the spot. They couldn't even lift a knife or a sword. Even the wires were wobbly and they cried. It was a waste of time, and it was really annoying to watch. How could you be an actor like this? The money was too easy to make.
"Yes, that's right." Du Yunxiang said, "Director Meng also has a few actors he likes and is currently in contact with them. By the way, Xuxu, if you have any actors you want to work with, you can also mention it now and the company will be responsible for contacting them."
Liu Wangxue doesn't have any other actors she wants to work with, as she doesn't have much contact with the entertainment industry and doesn't know much about it, but there are two people she thinks are quite suitable.
Liu Wangxue said with a wicked smile: "Sister Yunxiang, what do you think of letting Ni Jia play Princess Ke'er? I think some of her characteristics are quite similar to the princess herself. Also, the princess has a handsome male favorite, what do you think of Lou Rui?"
Du Yunxiang laughed out loud: "Ni Jia is fine, let her try out for acting. As for Lou Rui, I heard that he finally honed his acting skills under Jing Yujun and is about to develop on the road of acting. You want him to play a vase?"
Liu Wangxue disagreed: "A male favorite is not just a vase."
"At least in the early stages," Du Yunxiang said.
"This is the only way to achieve a reversal effect." Liu Wangxue smiled.
Du Yunxiang said, "Okay, but it depends on his own wishes."
Liu Wangxue said that it was completely OK, she just mentioned it casually and it was mostly a joke.
After finishing the conversation here, the topic turned back to Yiyou's script. Du Yunxiang said, "Then I'll send you Meng Luoqiu's contact information later. You can find time to talk to her first."
"good."
"Oh, there's one more thing."
"What is it?"
Du Yunxiang said, "I'm going to take Cha Cha to Tao Village tomorrow. Could you please pick me up?"
"Ah?" Liu Wangxue was a little surprised. Was it so sudden? "It's a little too sudden, isn't it?" Du Yunxiang smiled and explained, "Before you brought your three little cuties to Hai City, Cha Cha didn't want to leave Gu Gua, so Yun Kai said he would take him there during his winter vacation. Cha Cha has been remembering it and started reminding his uncle several days before the vacation. But Yun Kai was very busy during this period and didn't have time to come back to pick up Cha Cha. I happened to be not so busy these two days, so I sent him there. I wanted Du Yun Kai to pick me up, but Cha Cha wouldn't let me, and wanted to give his uncle a surprise."
Liu Wangxue smiled. Kids nowadays are all very romantic. One by one, they all want to create surprises: "Okay, then send me the flight information and I'll pick you up tomorrow."
Liu Wangxue asked again after he finished speaking: "Where are you going to stay tomorrow?"
Du Yunxiang said: "Anding helped me book a hotel in town."
There is only one hotel in the town. Liu Wangxue stayed there when she first came here. To be honest, it was pretty average. She was worried that Du Yunxiang would not be able to get used to it. "Sister Yunxiang, how about you and Cha Cha come to my house? My house is newly built. There is a guest room on the second floor. It's quite spacious. The facilities and services of the hotels in the town are definitely not as good as those outside. I'm afraid Cha Cha will not be used to it."
"It's okay," Du Yunxiang said, "Anding will go with us tomorrow."
With Anding there, Du Yunxiang didn't want to trouble Liu Wangxue, but they had never been to Taojia Village, and the map didn't show it very accurately. If they took a taxi, the drivers in the city might not know the route clearly. He thought that if they got lost, he would still have to trouble others.
"It's okay, there's enough room for us." Liu Wangxue urged. "The two rooms in my bungalow can be used as guest rooms. Xu Qingsong also has one room. Du Yunkai stayed at his place when he came here before. And this place is very close to their studio. It doesn't take long to walk there. Most importantly, Brother Shen and his family, whom I mentioned to you, are back too. His youngest son Youyou is about the same age as Chacha. Youyou and his brother often come to my place to play with the three little ones. I'll take them to meet each other then. Chacha will have a playmate here too."
Speaking of Cha Cha, Du Yunxiang had to consider it. After thinking about it, he agreed to Liu Wangxue's proposal: "Then thank you for your help."
"What's the trouble?" Liu Wangxue said playfully, "My dad will make something delicious tomorrow, and I guarantee you will be satisfied with your food, drink, accommodation and transportation for the next few days."
Du Yunxiang was amused by her: "Okay, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Wangxue added Meng Luoqiu as a friend according to the message sent by Du Yunxiang, but she didn't expect that she would accept it immediately. The two sides greeted each other, and Liu Wangxue explained the situation to her. It happened that she also had some things to deal with, so she didn't have time to chat in detail for the time being, so the two made another appointment.
After the chat, Liu Wangxue went to the bathroom to wash up in a good mood with her things.
There are bathtubs in both the upper and lower bathrooms of the small building. Liu Wangxue wanted to take a bath before going to bed, but when she saw that it was getting late, she gave up and simply took a shower, blew dry her hair, put on a facial mask, and came out.
Anding sent her the flight information on his mobile phone. He also knew that the president had decided not to stay in the hotel, so he would definitely follow him. So he apologized to Liu Wangxue first.
After chatting with him for a few words, Liu Wangxue watched a few videos. When the facial mask time was up, she washed her face, did her skin care, and went to bed.
The next morning, it was another sunny day. When Liu Wangxue came back from his morning run and had breakfast, he told her that Du Yunxiang was coming over.
"Come live in our house." Gu Xuelan suddenly became nervous. It was not that she was not welcome, but she had been to the Du family's villa before, which was so magnificent. Although their family now also has a "villa", there is still a big difference between the two. She expressed the same concerns as Liu Wangxue last night, but Liu Wangxue was worried about the hotel.
Gu Xuelan asked: "If they come to our house, what if they can't get used to it?"
Liu Wangxue comforted her: "Mom, it's not like you haven't stayed in that hotel in town before. How do you think it compares to ours?"
Gu Xuelan said without hesitation: "Then our family is definitely better."
When she moved in, there was a yellow stain on the bed sheet that had not been washed clean. She asked the housekeeping department to replace it with a new one, but she still felt uncomfortable sleeping on it and regretted bringing disposable sheets and quilt covers.
Liu Wangxue joked: "That's right, our environment is so good, someone can review it, it's definitely a five-star rating."
This sentence made the three people at the table laugh.
"Why don't I take a day off today? I just finished moving my things last night and didn't have time to clean up." Liu Nanshan asked his daughter, "When will lunch arrive? I can cook at home and eat with the people when they come."
"No, Dad, you should go to work." Liu Wangxue took a bite of the side dish to eat with the porridge and said, "There's not much to clean. Mom and I can finish it in no time. Sister Yunxiang and her family's flight landed at almost 12:30. After I picked them up, I went straight to the city to have lunch before coming back."
"That's fine. With the kids around, we still have to eat on time." Liu Nanshan finished his meal, put down his chopsticks and bowl, and said, "Then I'll make some soup before I leave. You can drink it when you come back in the afternoon. You should also come back early in the evening. You have to eat dinner at home, right?"
"Okay." Liu Wangxue agreed. She had finished eating, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and took a tissue to wipe her mouth.
Liu Nanshan got up and went to the refrigerator to get some food to make soup.
Xu Qingsong had finished eating, so Gu Xuelan put away the dishes and put them in the dishwasher.
Liu Wangxue wiped the table with a rag and said to Xu Qingsong with a smile: "By the way, you have to keep this a secret. Cha Cha wants to give his uncle a surprise, so we can't let him down."
"Okay." Xu Qingsong nodded and expressed the same idea as Liu Wangxue, "Children nowadays are really interesting. They all like surprises."
Liu Wangxue turned around and reminded Liu Nanshan: "Dad, don't let it slip."
Last night, when Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan came back, they saw a gift box on the coffee table in the living room, which contained a cake and a box of tea. They asked Liu Wangxue who had come, thinking that this was equivalent to a New Year gift, and they had to return the gift if they received it.
Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong said that it was Shen Nian'an's family who came back, but it was Youyou and Jinghe who came.
The two elders knew about Youyou’s surprise plan, and Liu Nanshan said loudly, “I know. I will keep it a secret. Hahaha…”
While wiping the table, Liu Wangxue whispered to Xu Qingsong, "Please drive your car for me later. My dad's car needs to be washed and he hasn't had time to deliver it yet."
Xu Qingsong laughed and whispered, "If you have the guts, speak louder?"
"Okay," Liu Wangxue held the rag in her hand, "Then I'll say you asked me to open it."
Xu Qingsong hurriedly stopped him: "Don't, we can't afford to offend you."
After that, he continued, "You are really something. You ask others for help but then you turn the tables and slander them."
"Okay," Liu Wangxue sighed, walked to the door, put the rag on the hook above the locker, and deliberately twisted the subject, "Since you classify yourself as 'someone else', let's be more distant from each other in the future. We can't be so indistinguishable from each other. It's not good."
Xu Qingsong followed her and pinched her face with his hand: "It's my fault. Okay, I must be careful with my words next time."
Liu Wangxue stretched out her hand to him: "Give me the car keys and I'll forgive you."
Xu Qingsong took her hand and walked next door to get the car keys.
Xu Qingsong gave her the car keys and went to work. Liu Nanshan also went there after cooking the soup. Liu Wangxue stayed at home and cleaned the bungalow with Gu Xuelan.
I usually pay attention to the hygiene of my home. After moving things, there is nothing difficult to clean. I just need to wipe the tables and cabinets, take off the sofa covers and wash them, and mop the floor. The things in the small building are also neatly arranged. Gu Xuelan's newly bought sheets and quilt covers are also washed in the washing machine. After drying, they can be used directly on the bed in the guest room. There are also two new quilts that are taken out to dry.
After finishing all these things and it was almost time, Liu Wangxue drove to the city to pick someone up at the airport.
When the three little ones saw her driving the car as if she was about to go out, they followed closely. Liu Wangxue thought that Cha Cha would be very happy to see Gua Gua, so she took the three little ones with her.
After she left, Gu Xuelan rode her electric bike to the town to buy a few pairs of slippers and some vegetables.
When Liu Wangxue arrived at the airport, Du Yunxiang's flight was still a while away from landing, so she drove into the underground parking lot. She was carrying three children and had no way to wait for someone at the exit, so she sent a message to Anding, asking them to tell her which gate they were at after they came out, and she would drive over.
Liu Wangxue played with the three of them in the car for a long time before she received a reply from Anding. After a while, she saw Anding say that they had arrived at Gate No. 3 on the arrival floor, so she drove out.
As the car approached, three familiar figures could be seen at a glance.
Anding was still wearing a neat suit with a neat coat on top. He was pushing a luggage cart with three large suitcases and a carry-on suitcase on it.
Du Yunxiang was dressed more casually, wearing a thin oversized down jacket over her sportswear, which was very stylish. Next to her was Cha Cha, who was dressed coolly and wearing sunglasses. He sat on his panda-shaped suitcase, leaning on the top of the handle, his head moving with the passing cars.
Cha Cha really missed Gua Gua, but he was too embarrassed to video call Liu Wangxue often, because he knew that adults had to work and children should not disturb adults at work. Moreover, Liu Wangxue was not at home for the past two or three months, so he could not see Gua Gua even if he video called her.
After Liu Wangxue returned to Taojia Village, Cha Cha called her two or three times via video. Apart from that, she just looked at the photos and videos Du Yunkai took for her, which were all taken in the studio.
Yesterday, Cha Cha was so happy when he learned that his mother was going to bring him here. He pulled out his panda suitcase and started to pack things in it. They were all small gifts for the three little ones, and the most for Gua Gua. He almost didn't fall asleep last night, but Du Yunxiang said that if he slept late and couldn't get up the next day to catch the plane, he would have to leave a day later or he wouldn't be able to buy a ticket and couldn't come. Then he listened to the story and went to sleep.
Before boarding the plane in the morning, Cha Cha heard from her mother that Liu Wangxue would pick them up at the airport. She was very happy and excited, and asked repeatedly: "Will Aunt Liu bring Gu Gua to pick us up?"
Du Yunxiang then remembered that she had forgotten to discuss this with Liu Wangxue. She didn't know whether Liu Wangxue would bring the three little ones along, so she had to tell Cha Cha the truth.
Cha Cha was not disappointed after hearing this. She still held a glimmer of expectation in her heart. She sat on the panda suitcase at the airport exit and looked at the passing vehicles, hoping it would be Liu Wangxue's car and wondering if Gua Gua would be in the car.
After waiting for a while, they saw a black car stop in front of them. The passenger window slowly lowered, revealing Liu Wangxue's smiling face, greeting them.
Then a little green parrot poked its head out of the passenger window. Cha Cha immediately sat up straight, took off her sunglasses, and pulled Du Yunxiang's hand: "Mom, look, it's Gu Gua! Aunt Liu brought Gu Gua here!" (End of this chapter)
