Chapter 34
Director Huang silently glanced at the dark red long table.
Cancan sat on Wei Su's left, her little head just above the height of the table, revealing only a pair of innocent and lively eyes.
Because Cancan was so small, they padded her stool with several layers of cushions, but it didn't help much. Fortunately, Cancan couldn't read, so when she was asked to read her lines, her agent Taotao would read them behind her, and she would repeat them in a baby voice.
Cancan's voice is very soft, with the sticky sound of a child. Even though she doesn't pronounce a single word clearly, she is more recognizable among the actors who are good at delivering lines.
After Cancan finished reciting a line, Director Huang called for a pause, asking everyone to take a break, and at the same time handed his phone to the assistant director, screenwriter, and producer beside him.
The three of them looked at it and covered their faces and laughed.
Cancan is sensible and obedient here, why are the adults in her family so noisy?
Huang Tiantian smiled and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
Although the Gu family and Qi Sen issued a statement saying that they would not help Cancan or interfere in Cancan's acting career, it was the family's wish not to allow their child to be close to other older brothers. Regardless of whether it was said by the Gu family or not, they had to respect the ideas of Cancan's family.
The screenwriter sensed Director Huang's thoughts and waved his hands repeatedly: "One of the main attractions of this drama is the deep love between brothers and sisters. It's normal for a sister to kiss her brother. It happens in many dramas. This scene must not be deleted."
Huang Tiantian put his phone on the table, thought for two seconds and said, "We won't delete it. Since Sheng Jing wants to come as a stand-in, let him come."
"From the WeChat message, it seems only Sheng Jing was asked to come. The others probably wouldn't want to. Especially that... Gu Chi..." The assistant director thought for a moment before coming up with the name. "Didn't he volunteer to be a stand-in and even say his profile was better looking than Wei Su's?"
Speaking of this, the assistant director couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, his smile was very helpless.
It was the first time he saw someone exaggerate their own role and ability and belittle the male protagonist's appearance in order to serve as a substitute.
Huang Tiantian laughed, and her slightly shaking shoulders revealed her helplessness.
The screenwriter's mind raced as he quickly came up with a solution.
After a few seconds, an idea flashed to him, and he raised his voice unconsciously: "Then let all four of them perform it once, and then we can choose the one with the best effect to broadcast. Anyway, all they want is to take the opportunity to get close to Cancan, so they definitely don't care whether it is broadcast or not."
Huang Tiantian patted the script excitedly and said, "This is a good idea."
After a few minutes, the break was over.
The study will continue.
A staff member stepped forward and whispered in Huang Tiantian's ear, "Wei Xun will be here soon, he's already at the door."
Huang Tiantian nodded.
They had only just finished the first two episodes, and Wei Xun hadn't appeared in them, so arriving a little late wasn't a big deal. She should have been on time, but her flight was two hours late, and she'd been delayed en route. She had no choice but to tell Huang Tiantian and the other staff members about it.
Huang Tiantian thought that Wei Xun would be here soon, so it wouldn't hurt to wait for her for a few minutes before starting. He glanced at Wei Su who was playing with Cancan and said with a smile, "Wei Su, do you remember the cheek kissing scene between you and Cancan?"
Wei Su smiled and nodded, pointing to his left cheek: "Cancan, kiss me here."
Seeing Wei Su looking forward to the kissing scene so much, Director Huang laughed for a second, then said gloatingly: "When filming this scene, we found four stand-ins for you. Each of them will do it once, and you, as the male lead..."
"Let's not shoot it."
Wei Su tilted his head, his face full of question marks.
"Four stand-ins?"
"Yes. Cancan's father and three other brothers all said they wanted to come over to double for your profile, saying their profiles were more perfect than yours. We thought it made sense, so we agreed." The assistant director joked, "Don't look so sad. A top-tier company, Sheng Jing, has come all the way here to double for you. Your value has skyrocketed, so just be happy."
Inside, the other staff members burst into laughter after hearing the screenwriter's explanation.
"Cancan's family is so interesting."
"From now on, Wei Su will be so proud when he goes out. He's acted with Cancan, and the son of the richest man, a chemical genius, the future head of Qiwei, and a top star have all served as his stand-in. He has such a high profile in the entertainment industry that others can't even dream of it. These are all the cards Cancan's father and brother gave you."
Wei Su's eyes twitched, and he chuckled for a while: "I really want to thank them."
He said the word "thank you" with extra emphasis, as if he wanted to tie these people up and kick them, full of anger.
Cancan didn't understand what was going on. She tugged at Wei Su's sleeve and asked, "Brother Wei Su, what do you want to thank Daddy and Brother for? Tell Cancan. When you call Daddy and Brother tonight, tell them. They'll definitely be very happy to hear it~"
Wei Su: ....
The whole audience applauded and laughed at Cancan's silliness.
When Wei Xun came in, everyone was still laughing foolishly.
Cancan saw Weixun among the crowd standing at the door the first time she saw her. She stood up happily, and the small bell on her wrist jingled, as if celebrating her meeting Weixun. The sound was lively and very pleasant.
"Mom..." She spoke subconsciously, then tightened her lips and spoke again: "Big sister."
Wei Xun was stunned when he saw Cancan, nodded at her, and walked to his seat with a calm expression, greeting the director and others from time to time.
"Sorry for being late. I asked my assistant to buy afternoon tea and desserts for everyone." Wei Xun spoke after sitting down at his seat. His tone was as cold as Aoxue, and he still looked aloof and didn't like to interact with others.
Everyone present understood Wei Xun's personality, and they thanked him with a smile, not taking the matter to heart.
Wei Xun sat diagonally opposite Cancan, and Cancan could see her as soon as she looked up.
At this moment, Cancan lowered her head gloomily, staring blankly at the blue shoes with Princess Elsa printed on them.
Tao Tao noticed her depression, moved the stool forward, leaned forward slightly, and whispered beside Cancan: "Cancan, don't be discouraged. The Empress treats everyone like this, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't like everyone. Maybe..."
Tao Tao paused for two seconds and continued, "Maybe the Empress just doesn't like to laugh."
Cancan nodded obediently, her expression improving a little.
She blinked her long, thick eyelashes and whispered to herself to comfort herself, "Mom will like Cancan in the future."
Every time she is full of expectations and then has them shattered, Cancan always comforts herself in this way.
Taotao touched Cancan's smooth hair and patted it twice. When she looked up and was about to sit back away, she happened to meet Weixun's gaze.
Wei Xun pretended to be indifferent and lowered his head and continued to study the script.
Taotao, who has never been good at observing people's expressions, suddenly felt that Wei Xun didn't seem to be as indifferent to Cancan as he appeared.
Inside the house, a group of people were sometimes laughing and sometimes reading a script seriously. A cold wind was blowing outside the window. Passersby wrapped their coats tightly and walked quickly. The leaves on both sides of the road rustled, which made people feel even colder. There were few pedestrians on the road, and it was a bit deserted.
The Internet is very lively.
Ever since the official announcement of the cast of "Hello, Life" a few days ago, many people's alarm bells went off after seeing the news that Cancan and Weixun were starring in the same drama. They would check Weibo more than ten times a day to see if there was any gossip.
Wei Xun is the mother that Cancan calls her. Her resources have skyrocketed in the past two years, and she has quickly squeezed into the ranks of the four major actresses. Her career has developed at an astonishing speed. Now, Cancan's call of "mother" has let many "know-it-alls" who think they "understand" know some inside information.
They spread rumors in the group all day long, saying things like "Weixun must have had an ulterior motive with Gu Chi before he achieved what he has today." Weixun's fan team tried to clarify things everywhere, but rumors were much easier to dispel than to clarify.
A topic that is both interesting and exciting can arouse the curiosity and concern of countless people. People who know little or nothing about Wei Xun, after hearing what people around them or on the Internet say, gradually regard the rumors as the truth.
These past two days, seeing Cancan and Weixun in the same crew, everyone started gossiping about their relationship.
Gu Chi couldn't help but clarify again, emphasizing that he and Wei Xun were not in a romantic relationship at all. Some haters laughed again. Every time a fan came to clarify, the haters would say, "Gu Chi doesn't like Wei Xun, don't you understand?"
Wei Xun’s fans were so angry that they felt dizzy.
Today, they set up a Weixun anti-black group specifically to explain the relationship between Cancan and Weixun.
Whenever someone asks, "Could Wei Xun really have developed so well relying on the resources provided by the Gu family?"
The anti-black stand-up immediately released a G-sized video and a 10,000-word word document. The video was about Wei Xun talking about his life in cold storage in a talk show, and the word document clearly captured many moments of Cancan trying hard to memorize her lines, as well as the Gu family's attitude towards Cancan.
The Gu family didn't even help Cancan, yet they're trying to help Weixun?
[The videos are all here, the innocent will be cleared]
[The haters have hands but no eyes, but I hope rational passersby can take a closer look]
Cancan has a lot of fans recently, and when they saw the post on the topic square, they liked and forwarded it one after another. They typed passionately to clarify.
[It's true, the Gu family is so stingy. Our Cancan has been memorizing lines every day lately, looking pathetic. She's not even eligible to go to any dinner party she wants to go to. It's too hard to start a career at such a young age.]
Anyone who has seen the videos of our Cancan scratching his head and memorizing his lines these past two days will feel sad and cry.
[Wow, poor little thing, so miserable, the agent had to ask him twice before going to bed before he could fall asleep]
..
With the joint efforts of fans of both Wei Xun and Cancan, the voices of the haters are getting smaller and smaller.
The new fan club "Dining Seat" formed by Weixun and Cancan has made its grand debut on the Weibo stage, holding team-building and ice-breaking activities every week, and striving to accompany Cancan and Weixun on the flower path.
After the afternoon study session ended, Cancan got into the car and went home obediently, holding the script.
Wei Su and Wei Xun also got into their cars and went to their next work location. They would not meet again until the opening ceremony a week later.
Cancan stared out the window at the direction where Weixun left, and put her little hand in her shirt pocket and felt around.
Inside, there was a lollipop that Wei Xun gave her.
A few hours ago, Wei Xun's assistant brought dessert and afternoon tea. Cancan sat with her head down, nibbling on a small cake while swinging her legs. She yawned sleepily. Just as she was about to rub her eyes with her hands covered in cake crumbs, Wei Xun held her hand down, his voice still faint: "Wipe your hands clean before rubbing your eyes."
"There are bacteria on my hands." Wei Xun explained.
Cancan stared blankly at Wei Xun who suddenly walked over.
The other people in the study room were sitting around joking and laughing, and no one noticed them.
Cancan looked down at the many sweet cakes and asked softly, "Sister, do you want some cakes?"
As she spoke, Cancan raised her little hand and waved it in front of her.
His eyes were filled with anticipation and anxiety.
As if recalling Wei Xun's alienation and rejection at the last dinner, Cancan retracted her hand again and said in a low voice, as soft as a mosquito: "Gao Gao is delicious."
Wei Xun didn't refuse this time. He tore off a small piece of bread from her hand and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Cancan pursed her lips and smiled happily.
"Isn't it sweet?"
Wei Xun said "hmm".
Cancan laughed even louder.
He quickly placed the cake on the table and ran to where the sweets were and got a new one for her.
"Big one for you."
Wei Xun looked at Cancan quietly.
Ever since she met Cancan, her chest has been aching and sore from time to time. She went to the hospital for a check-up and the doctor said that she was fine. As for the reason for the chest pain, it might be that she encountered something or someone that made her sad.
"Sister?" Cancan called again.
Wei Xun came back to her senses, picked up the piece of cake she had eaten from the table, took a bite and said lightly: "I'll just eat this."
Cancan smiled, feeling better and having a great appetite.
With one bite, a big corner of the square soft bread was missing. Cancan pointed at the gap proudly, and poked her chubby cheeks. Her little head tilted back slightly and looked up at Weixun, her eyes curved with a smile, revealing only a narrow gap.
The silly and sweet smile made Wei Xun's heart ache again.
Without hesitation, she stood up and left Cancan. After walking two steps, she came back and took out a marshmallow-like candy from her pocket. "I heard you like candy, so I'm giving it to you. In the drama, I play your brother's girlfriend. We need to get to know each other better."
Wei Xun didn't know whether he was comforting himself or finding an excuse to get close to Cancan. He put down the candy and left without looking back.
When I left, I told myself again and again that I came here to talk to Cancan today just to be more natural when acting opposite Cancan.
Cancan would never think about why her mother gave her candy.
At this moment, she hugged the marshmallow, kissed it twice, and said proudly, "This is a gift from mother to Cancan. Brother Wei Su doesn't even have one."
Taotao smiled and tapped Cancan's little nose, pretending to be envious and said, "Yes, only Cancan has it, I don't even have it."
Cancan smiled and put the candy into his little pocket with great joy, then leaned over the window to look out.
The car started slowly, and the trees and pedestrians on the road quickly moved backwards. Cancan sat down obediently as Taotao instructed, and slowly fell asleep in the slight bumps.
His brows relaxed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he rubbed his little head against Taotao's legs coquettishly, murmuring softly, "Mommy, hug me."
Taotao suddenly felt a little sad.
She knew how much the little princess loved the emperor and empress.
During the eighteen years when the Emperor, Empress, and the three princes were away, she didn't even like celebrating her birthday. Every time her birthday came, she would hide in a corner of the palace, hugging her still-peach-shaped self, muttering, "Mother didn't even prepare a long noodle for Cancan, so Cancan doesn't want to celebrate her birthday."
At night, she would sneak into the Emperor and Empress's bedroom alone to look at their portraits. When she couldn't help herself, she would hide in a corner, wiping away her tears while laughing miserably and saying, "Cancan no longer likes her father, mother, and brother. She never comes to see Cancan."
But the next day, I still had to think about my second brother and look at the portrait.
Cancan knew that the Emperor and the Empress loved her the most, that her eldest and third brothers doted on her the most, that her father and mother asked her to wait, and that the King of Hell also asked her to wait. She could only obediently hold the peach given by her second brother and wait. After waiting for several years, she finally entered the mortal world.
But the warm little home that was once envied by all the gods in the Wuwang Sea was shattered into pieces like a broken bowl, and everyone had their own family.
But even if it is broken, they are willing to hide the broken pieces for Cancan, gather together to piece together the original appearance, embellish the cracks with lifelike flowers and birds, and form a home again.
But now, this ceramic bowl decorated with flowers and birds is missing a corner, missing the emperor and empress.
Taotao is the only one who knows how Cancan survived those eighteen years. Now seeing Cancan like this, her heart aches and her eyes turn red. She feels sorry for the little princess now.
But since...
The little princess wants the emperor and empress to hug her and kiss her, and she will do it no matter what!
She is the only peach person in the world, and there is nothing she can't do!
**
When they were almost home, Cancan gradually woke up.
She subconsciously patted the candy in her pocket and smiled sweetly.
"Just now, a ferocious beast tried to eat Cancan's candy. Cancan was almost scared to death." Cancan leaned on Taotao's shoulder and complained in a baby voice, "Cancan doesn't like dreaming."
"Is the beast too terrifying?"
Cancan shook her head, pouting, and pointed angrily: "Cancan in my dream wouldn't even run away, but it made me so anxious!"
Taotao was amused by Cancan's frustrated look.
"The Cancan in my dream was so stupid and not well behaved." Cancan hummed twice and said, "If Cancan saw a big ferocious beast, she would definitely run to her father and mother immediately."
Taotao smiled and said nothing.
If she really saw a tiger or a lion, the little princess would probably be so scared that she would immediately squat down and hold her head to comfort herself - "I can't see it, I can't see it."
When I got home, Qi Sen, Pei Shen and Gu Chi were all there.
Gu Jueyan and Bai Manshu went abroad to attend a dinner party and took the opportunity to travel around the country. They will not be back this week.
When there is no tiger in the house, Gu Chi becomes the king.
He had a relaxing and happy time these past two days. He no longer had to look around cautiously when he went to the toy room. These days, he boldly placed the newly bought dragon toy in the most conspicuous place in the living room and stopped to admire it.
Every time I watch it, I have to praise myself:
How come I am so good-looking?
Qi Sen and Pei Shen were almost sick to death.
When several people saw Cancan, they all rushed up and hugged her.
"Have you eaten? Have you seen your mother?" Pei Shen asked.
Cancan shook the marshmallow in her hand and smiled: "This is a gift from my mother to Cancan."
"Weixun?" Gu Chi was stunned. "She also gave you something?"
Cancan nodded heavily and looked around with the candy in her hand.
After seeing the big dragon doll above the TV, Cancan pointed with her little hand and said in a baby voice, "Take Longlong down."
Gu Chi frowned: "That won't work."
Cancan stamped her feet angrily, frowning, and said in a slightly aggrieved tone, "But Cancan can't put the candy there."
Pei Shen glanced at the top of the TV and asked in surprise, "Why did you put the candy there?"
Cancan whispered, "This way, Cancan can see candy right away when she's watching TV!"
Qi Sen couldn't help but look at Gu Chi and shook his head helplessly.
Cancan and Gu Chi...
We are indeed a family.
I don’t think there is another person in the world who would put his favorite things on top of the TV.
Cancan is the eldest in this family.
Gu Chi took off his dragon doll with a broken heart, glanced at the candy in a foam box on the TV, and sighed while holding the dragon toy to find another home for it.
Finally, Gu Chi arranged the dragon into a circle and placed it on the coffee table with a stack of fruit plates in the middle. It looked like the dragon was wrapping a ceramic plate with its tail, which was a bit silly.
Qi Sen shook his head, closed his eyes and took a nap, thinking that he would not be bothered.
Cancan sat next to him, holding a small piece of watermelon in her left hand and a strawberry in her right hand. She ate it with her left hand and then with her right hand, looking very happy.
While admiring his own dragon, Gu Chi wiped the fruit stains off Cancan's hands with a wet wipe.
Glancing at Qi Sen who was resting on the sofa, he asked curiously, "What happened to your scumbag dad?"
Qi Sen closed his eyes and said calmly, "Jiang Ying is dividing the property with him, and the two sides are at a stalemate."
Pei Shen became interested. He stuffed a strawberry into Cancan's mouth and leaned over to ask, "Are we going to have a fight?!"
Qi Sen raised his eyes and glanced at the curious Gu Chi and Pei Shen expressionlessly, his tone still indifferent: "I think so."
Jiang Ying sent him a very long message last night.
He sincerely expressed his helplessness during this period and his apologies to him.
Jiang Ying was touched by Qi Sen's text message reminding her.
Before this, she devoted all her attention to the sick Qi Yuan and tried every means to get Qi Sen to come home. In order to achieve her goal, she did not hesitate to use some despicable means. Now when she thinks about it, she is in great pain.
It was Qi Sen who reminded her not to go out that day. If she went out, she would see the news of her husband's infidelity in front of everyone and know the true face of the people around her.
In the text message Jiang Ying sent to Qi Sen, she apologized many times and expressed her wish for another chance to be a mother. She was also willing to give him half of the property she had fought over from Qi Xiuming.
Qi Sen refused decisively.
In the past, when he saw Qi Xiuming and Jiang Ying favoring Qi Yuan, he would feel disappointed and a little sad, but now he doesn't care anymore.
He didn't care whether they liked him or not, nor did he care who they liked more. Their love was worthless in Qi Sen's eyes, and because he didn't care, he didn't feel bad anymore.
He only wanted the part of Qi Xiuming's property that he got back through the surgery.
Ever since meeting Cancan, Pei Shen, Sheng Jing and Gu Chi, Qi Sen no longer considered himself a member of the Qi family. Since he was not their family, he naturally would not accept the property that Jiang Ying had fought for and the love that she had lost and regained for him.
Qi Sen stared blankly at the TV program "BabyBus".
Cancan beside him smiled from time to time, while Gu Chi and Pei Shen were either looking at their phones or bringing fruits to Cancan from time to time.
The few of them said nothing, their movements were natural and smooth, as if they had spent a long time like this in their previous life.
Qi Sen picked up his phone and sent a text message to Jiang Ying.
[I don't need your apology or your property, I just want you to clarify one thing within the company.]
"Tell them you didn't accept Cancan back then. She and I were initially forced to choose the Gu family because they could help us. Cancan isn't like the rumors in the company, that she only recognizes powerful people as her parents and relatives."
It took Jiang Ying a long time before he replied "OK".
The next day, news that Jiang Ying was going to file for divorce from Qi Xiuming spread all over the Internet.
Not only that, an apology letter published on Weibo surprised netizens.
The letter was written by Jiang Ying.
@Jiang Ying: I'm deeply sorry. As a public figure, I made a poor decision that negatively impacted my family, my company, and even society. My youngest son was diagnosed with leukemia and later reunited with my long-missing eldest son. I hadn't seen him in years, and my preoccupation with my youngest son led me to develop no attachment to him. Instead, Qi Xiuming and I threatened to take Cancan to the police station and, arguing that Pei Shen couldn't afford his medical bills, offered him a sum of money to pressure him to return home and separate from Cancan and Pei Shen. It was Gu Chi, who was fond of Cancan, who intervened. He offered to adopt Cancan and pay for Pei Shen's medical expenses and ongoing living expenses, which is why Qi Sen refused to return. Later, Qi Xiuming and I offered our family equity in exchange for Qi Sen's participation in a bone marrow transplant for our youngest son, and he agreed. Every penny he took from Qi Xiuming and me was a consensual transaction, without any emotional bondage. I apologize for the infamy and distress this incident has brought upon him and Cancan. From today on, I will quit the entertainment industry and live an ordinary life. I will donate half of the wealth I earned with Qi Xiuming to children with leukemia, wishing them a speedy recovery. Finally, Qi Sen, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
After reading this apology letter, many netizens first scolded her and then scolded Qi Xiuming.
Jiang Ying at least apologized at the cost of quitting the entertainment industry and donating his property. What about Qi Xiuming?
When the scumbag cheated on his wife and forced his son to go home, he just remained silent about it? Didn't he say anything?
The reporters first contacted Jiang Ying's company, but when they couldn't get any useful information there, they flooded the customer service department of Qiwei Group with calls.
Under the coercion and inducement of the company's shareholders, Qi Xiuming, who originally wanted to hide, had to come out and say a few high-sounding words.
Qi Xiuming didn't have time to pay attention to netizens. He was anxious to call Jiang Ying and explain things to her.
But Jiang Ying ignored him.
When she was taking care of her son, he cheated on her. He did this even when her youngest son was in extreme pain from chemotherapy. Jiang Ying couldn't accept it.
All he said that day was, "Before we got married, we signed an agreement to leave the house empty-handed in the event of infidelity. The lawyer said it's valid."
Qi Xiuming was suddenly shocked. He never expected things to turn out this way.
He did sign it more than a decade ago, and thought about it when he was seeking excitement through cheating, but he soon forgot about it.
Jiang Ying has always been gentle. How could she bear to let him leave the house with nothing since she loves him so much?
Jiang Ying now seemed like a completely different person, and Qi Xiuming didn't recognize her at all.
The news of her infidelity and forcing her eldest son to go home became known to everyone. He called his old friend, but he kept hanging up and saying he had something to do, and was vague about not wanting to say a word to him.
It only took four days for Qi Xiuming to go from being a well-known entrepreneur to being abandoned by everyone.
He caused the wife of a big star to cheat on him, and also forced Cancan and Qi Sen, who are now highly supported by the Gu family. The former is the focus of the entire network, and the latter is someone no one in the capital circle dares to offend. If he offends any one of them alone, he will suffer, but now he has offended both parties at once, so naturally no one dares to pay attention to him anymore.
Soon, Qi Xiuming lost the divorce lawsuit. Under the pressure of public opinion and the prenuptial agreement, he was kicked out of the house. The small-time artist abandoned him in panic, and the prestigious Qi family fell.
On the day he received the divorce decree, Jiang Ying divided the shares he got from the Qi family into two, giving one to Qi Yuan and the other to Qi Sen.
A small note was attached to the file for Qi Sen: "Take it. Qi Yuan also wants to give it to you. You still have a long way to go. Qiwei seems to be harmonious on the surface, but the shareholders have their own interests. You only have such a small number of shares. You have the right to speak in this group, but no one wants to listen."
After Gu Jueyan nodded, Qi Sen did not refuse anymore.
That’s all for later.
**
After Jiang Ying clarified, Cancan’s Weibo was flooded with emojis expressing pity and sympathy for her baby.
A few days later, "Hello, Life" held its opening ceremony. Cancan shook the small red envelope, stood happily between Wei Su and Wei Xun, and smiled brightly at the camera.
The filming was very hard, and Cancan was well protected by Taotao.
Children tend to attract everyone's concern and care wherever they are. Seeing such a small child holding a big cotton-padded jacket, dozing off while sitting next to the child waiting for the scene to be filmed, it makes people feel a little distressed.
Therefore, Cancan’s night scenes were filmed before seven o’clock.
Taotao was both happy and grateful.
With the bank cards given by several princes and emperors, he generously ordered afternoon tea and desserts for the crew for a whole week.
The milk tea changes every day, and the staff members’ faces have become fatter after drinking it.
Not only them, but even Wei Su's face...has become a little rounder.
On the eighth day, when Taotao wanted to order some milk tea, director Huang Tiantian held her hand bitterly and said, "Taotao, stop feeding us. Our entire crew is already plump. You're not thanking us, you're hurting the post-production process!"
The post-production staff later photoshopped the chubby Wei Su frame by frame, which makes me feel sorry for her just thinking about it.
Taotao paused, put away her phone obediently, and made an OK gesture.
Because of Cancan's appearance, "Hello, Life" has become the most watched TV series on the Internet. Every time netizens click on their Reuters photos, they can't help but complain: "Isn't this really a food drama? Why is everyone fat?"
The entire crew had no words to express their suffering.
But I have to say, the milk tea is still delicious!!!
Without the milk tea and desserts, everyone in the crew felt a little uncomfortable.
In the afternoon, Cancan finally had her first scene with Weixun.
In the play, Yoyo was held by her aunt's hand to buy snacks. It was a rainy day, and she met her brother's girlfriend Li Mi in the supermarket, but neither of them knew each other's identity.
They hid from the rain under the eaves outside the supermarket. Youyou hugged herself and kept saying that she was cold. Li Mi was a kind-hearted person. The aunt who took care of her had been in their family for more than ten years. She was now in her forties. It must be tiring for her to run home carrying Youyou. So Li Mi offered to carry the child and walk, while the aunt made plans on the side.
It’s a hug scene, but it’s not an exact hug.
In the play, when Li Mi was about to hug Cancan, he was suddenly interrupted by a shout from Youyou's brother, Wei Mo.
When Cancan first heard that she could be held by her mother, she rolled around on the bed happily, but later she found out that she couldn't be held by her mother.
Cancan sighed while hugging her big cotton-padded jacket.
Huang Tiantian, who was sitting next to her, looked at the screen and rubbed Cancan's head with a smile.
"Our Yoyo should be happier."
In the play, all the staff will call the actors' names in the play so that they can get into the role at all times.
Cancan nodded obediently and said in a baby voice, "Youyou knows. Wei Youyou is the second best kid."
"What about the first baton?"
Cancan chuckled, pointed at herself and said, "It's Cancan!"
Cancan feels no guilt when praising himself.
At home, her father and brother always said that she was great. When she was a fairy, she was also spoiled a little. Whenever someone came, they had to say "Your Highness is awesome" before she was willing to talk to that person.
Everyone was happy.
It drizzled a little in the afternoon. They were shooting on location. It was mid-December and the weather was gloomy and cold.
Cancan sniffed the snot that was about to flow out, touched her little hand and said, "Sister Taotao, Cancan seems to be sick. Cancan has a runny nose all the time."
Taotao frowned, touched Cancan's forehead, and took out a thermometer to take her temperature.
No fever.
But it looks like he has a cold.
Tao Tao felt distressed, her eyes fixed on the machine that had been set up a few meters away. If Cancan was allowed to rest at this time...
I'm afraid the staff will have to set up the scene again later.
Moreover, they didn’t have many scenes on location, so they would just shoot today and leave.
Taotao frowned in embarrassment. While she was trying to think of a solution, Wei Xun was already standing at the shooting location - under the eaves of the supermarket.
Cancan immediately put the big cotton-padded jacket next to Taotao and shook her head proudly: "Cancan is going to film with mom!"
This was the first scene for the two of them, and Cancan had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Before Taotao could say anything, Cancan followed the staff and trotted to stand next to Weixun.
The wind blew softly, and Cancan's delicate little face felt a little painful.
Wei Xun calmly stepped forward a little to block the wind for her.
Cancan sniffed, looked around curiously, and laughed: "Big sister, there is no wind!"
Wei Xun nodded lightly without saying anything.
When the filming was about to start, Cancan looked up at Weixun blankly, and suddenly remembered the time when she was sick and her mother held her in her arms and walked around the hall telling her stories.
Now..
She seemed to be ill too.
Cancan lowered her head and rubbed the corners of her eyes silently.
When the director said to get ready, he immediately sniffed and looked at Wei Xun with a sweet smile.
Hehe, I'm filming with my mother~
But the filming was not so smooth for the two of them.
The first time, when Wei Xun was about to hug Cancan, Cancan looked at her blankly, not knowing how to react, and her little head instantly forgot what she was going to say.
The second time, Cancan remembered her words, but Wei Su's hands were stained with blood and mud when he was recording, which didn't look good, so they had to reshoot.
The third time.
Cancan stared blankly at her mother who was smiling in front of her, her eyebrows curved.
"Let me carry you home?" Li Mi said.
Yoyo nodded happily, "Thank you, big sister."
The two little hands were raised obediently, waiting for Li Mi's hug.
The next second, a surprised male voice sounded: "Yo Yo? Mi Mi?"
"Stop, not bad." Director Huang Tiantian replied with a smile a few meters away.
Cancan looked at Weixun, then at the other people around her, silently withdrew her little hand, and stood under the eaves, not knowing what she was thinking.
Taotao hurriedly took out the prepared hot water bottle and stuffed it into her arms.
"Cancan, is your runny nose better?"
Cancan lowered her head, hugged the hot water bottle and whispered, "No."
Wei Xun beside him had already walked to the director.
Cancan recalled the three hugs she didn't get during the filming just now, and suddenly felt wronged.
She slowly walked over to Wei Xun, holding a hot water bottle, and asked in a soft, childish voice, "Can I hold Cancan?"
The moment he finished speaking, all his grievances poured out. His grape-like almond eyes were filled with moisture and he looked at her with red eyes, feeling extremely aggrieved.
It seemed like I had been waiting for this hug for a long, long time.
Cancan sniffed, her voice filled with tears.
"When Cancan was sick, mother would always hold her in her arms."
Her voice was so soft that only Wei Xun, who was standing next to her, could hear it.
Wei Xun lowered his head and stared motionlessly at the cub in front of him with red eyes and looking as pitiful as a little rabbit. In the surprised gaze of everyone, he squatted down and slowly hugged Cancan in his arms.
The fair little hand supported the little head resting on his shoulder and asked softly, "Is that so?"
The author has something to say:
