Chapter 481 Hiding in the shadows to secretly watch her
Han Mingyu was focused on Qi Mingxuan and didn't notice Tang Wei's gaze at all.
Tang Wei stood up and walked towards Han Mingyu.
Han Mingyu's view was blocked by Tang Wei. He frowned slightly, raised his head slightly, and met Tang Wei's scrutinizing gaze.
Han Mingyu was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and quickly lowered his head and coughed a few times.
Afraid of being exposed, he leaned on his cane and prepared to stand up. Just then, a sandwich was handed to him. "I made this myself. Would you like to try it?"
Tang Wei communicated with him in German.
Han Mingyu was very fortunate that he was fluent in eight languages, which allowed him to handle simple conversations.
He reached out and took the sandwich, deliberately lowering his voice to say in a hoarse, aged tone, "Thank you."
Judging from his accent, Tang Wei didn't think he was a local. "Don't you live here?"
“My family and I live in F country. I just come here occasionally to relax for a few days.”
"I see." Tang Wei sat down next to Han Mingyu. "I noticed you were alone, watching my friend paint the whole time. Do you like paintings?"
Han Mingyu: "..."
He wasn't looking at a painting at all.
However, Tang Wei's reaction suggests that she did not suspect anything.
"Your friend is a very good painter." Han Mingyu asked deliberately, "I thought you were communicating in Mandarin? Is she Chinese?"
"Yes, we're here to relax and have a vacation."
Han Mingyu lowered his voice, "I just saw her taking medicine. Is she sick?"
"Yes, but she is very strong, and I believe she will get better soon."
Han Mingyu nodded. "She seems to be a very good and strong girl. God will bless her."
"Yes."
Tang Wei has a cheerful personality and is a talkative girl.
Han Mingyu chatted with her, carefully maintaining his persona as a seventy-year-old foreign man.
Tang Wei was simply bored, and happened to see him sitting here, so she came over to chat with him to pass the time.
Because Qi Mingxuan is very focused when she paints, she is safely immersed in her own world, using the materials to gradually construct the beautiful scenery in front of her.
Just then, a tall figure walked over.
The man had a handsome, sculpted Eastern face with striking eyebrows and bright eyes. Coupled with his height of 1.92 meters, he instantly drew everyone's attention the moment he appeared.
Han Mingyu watched him walk over.
My gaze swept over the camera hanging around his neck.
Leica, that's a pretty expensive thing.
The man raised his hand to greet Tang Wei first.
Tang Wei also raised her hand and waved to him: "Director Yu!"
The man's gaze shifted and landed on Han Mingyu's face. "And who is this?"
Tang Wei smiled and said, "A tourist friend I just met."
The man nodded slightly to Han Mingyu, then turned and walked towards Qi Mingxuan.
Han Mingyu frowned as he watched him walk towards Qi Mingxuan, and asked Tang Wei, "Is he also your friend?"
"We've known each other for less than a week. He's a director named Yu Changze. Both he and Ms. Qi are Chinese, but he's from Hong Kong, China. It seems he's here looking for inspiration."
For some reason, the moment Han Mingyu saw Yu Changze, he instinctively felt a sense of crisis.
Yu Changze stopped to the side, raised his camera, and took a picture of Qi Mingxuan.
The sound of the camera shutter caught Qi Mingxuan's attention.
She paused, then turned her head to look at her.
Yu Changze put down his camera, looked at her, and smiled slightly: "The scenery is not as beautiful as the person."
Qi Mingxuan had known him for less than a week, but she had already basically figured out Yu Changze's personality.
To put it simply and bluntly, he's a humorous guy who's into art.
Unfortunately, he also has a cold and aloof face.
"You're here quite early today." Qi Mingxuan put down her paintbrush.
The two sat down at a small table, and Qi Mingxuan asked him, "Didn't you stay up late writing the script last night?"
"No, I scrapped all the previous scripts."
Qi Mingxuan paused slightly, "Why?"
Qi Mingxuan had heard Yu Changze talk about his previous scripts, and she thought they were pretty good.
“I just suddenly had a new story I wanted to write.” Yu Changze shrugged and laughed, “There’s nothing we artists do, we just do whatever comes to mind.”
Qi Mingxuan smiled helplessly, "I can't go three sentences without making fun of myself."
She smiled.
Han Mingyu stared blankly at Qi Mingxuan.
She seemed so relaxed and at ease when she chatted with Yu Changze.
Tang Wei said, "I think Director Yu likes my friend!"
Han Mingyu's breath hitched, and his grip on his cane tightened. "They've only known each other for less than a week. Isn't it too fast for them to say they like each other?"
"It was love at first sight!" Tang Wei laughed. "And I think they're a perfect match. Mainly, they had a lot in common from the first time they met. Director Yu is a very insightful Chinese director. He's already made two films while he was still in school and has gained some fame in the overseas film industry. I heard he's planning to make a comeback to the domestic market this time..."
Han Mingyu couldn't hear anything Tang Wei said after that.
His eyes were only on the relaxed and carefree way Qi Mingxuan and Yu Changze chatted.
Qi Mingxuan was already quite good at oil painting when she was in school; she was talented. If it weren't for the misfortune that befell the Qi family, she might have become an oil painter long ago.
Now they've met Yu Changze, and they're talking about a painter's story, his paintings, and filmmaking.
There was a back-and-forth, a tacit and harmonious understanding.
If it were in the past, Han Mingyu would have lost his temper long ago if he saw Qi Mingxuan chatting so happily with another man, but now, he just watched quietly, and could only watch quietly.
A gentle breeze blew across the lake, ruffling the woman's soft hair.
Qi Mingxuan raised her hand and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. She looked at Yu Changze and smiled slightly: "This story is very touching and inspiring. I have a friend in China who is the owner of an entertainment company. The movies she has invested in over the years have all been very well received. I think if you can work with her, it will be more secure for your movie."
Yu Changze raised an eyebrow slightly.
Actually, making movies is just a hobby for him; he doesn't need to make money from them.
As for connections, he was able to successfully release two movies abroad, so it goes without saying that he has connections in China as well.
He wants to make a movie that doesn't require collaboration with domestic companies.
But if this person was introduced by Qi Mingxuan, then it doesn't seem like it's impossible.
"I never expected to run into such a helpful person while traveling abroad." Yu Changze's thin lips curled slightly. "Then I'll have to shamelessly ask you to help me make the connection."
"You already have two well-received films overseas. You have your own resources. I was just giving you advice and making connections. How am I your benefactor?"
Qi Mingxuan said earnestly, "Moreover, I'm helping you because I like your story, and I hope it can be successfully shown in domestic theaters even more than you do."
Yu Changze looked at her, his long, deep eyes holding a gentle smile, "You have such high expectations of me?"
Qi Mingxuan smiled slightly, "It's an expectation for our fellow Chinese compatriots."
Yu Changze chuckled softly, "Thanks for the blessings from our motherland, then I'll express my gratitude in advance."
Qi Mingxuan said, "I'll give you her contact information later, but you'll have to let her know first."
“It’s alright, no rush.” Yu Changze paused, then added, “However, during filming, I’d like you to create the paintings for the scenes and the artwork in the movie. Some shots might show your hands, so you’d be a hand double. Are you willing?”
