"Are you planning to propose to Xiaolin next May?"
Hong Sanshi was not surprised. After a moment of hesitation, he asked:
"What's the plan?"
Of course, a marriage proposal cannot simply involve holding up a ring, kneeling on one knee, and saying "Please marry me". That would be too perfunctory.
Fang Xiaole himself also meant this, he said slowly:
"Our show just finished airing in May, so I'll try to take a few days off and discuss it with her in advance. For example, we could go to my hometown, or visit her parents, and then I'll plan a grand proposal ceremony."
"This is interesting. Do you want a family and friends group? I can come!"
Hong Sanshi became excited when he heard this and said:
"How about I call Lao Lei and Zhang Bo as well? They can be considered as the passive matchmakers between you and Xiao Lin, although they still don't know about your relationship.
Also, I will ask my sister when the time comes. She is Xiaolin's teacher, so she will come too.
Yes, and besides, doesn’t Xiaolin have a few girlfriends?
Xu Fei, Tang Wan, and the like, call them all, tsk tsk tsk, it will be lively then, hahahahaha!"
Hong Sanshi became more and more excited as he spoke, and was even more interested than when he proposed to her.
"Brother Hong, aren't you going to call your sister-in-law?"
Fang Xiaole was not polite. He really wanted to make the proposal ceremony as grand as possible. If possible, he wanted to invite all the big names in the entertainment industry. He felt that only then would he be worthy of Lin Yao.
"Well, let's not do that. I'm afraid your sister-in-law will see you being so nice to Xiaolin and remember that I didn't even formally propose to her. She'll have to kneel on the washboard when she gets home."
When talking about his wife, Hong Sanshi suddenly became timid.
"Brother Hong, you didn't propose to your sister-in-law? Then how did you..."
Fang Xiaole asked in surprise.
"We're getting married because we're pregnant."
Hong Sanshi said as a matter of course.
"Getting married with a baby? Didn't my sister-in-law just get pregnant?"
Fang Xiaole was a little confused.
"Hey, let me tell you...you have to swear first that you won't tell anyone about this, not even Xiaolin!"
Hong Sanshi laughed twice in a smug and obscene manner, and then seriously asked Fang Xiaole to swear.
"Okay, I promise not to tell anyone."
Fang Xiaole was also a little curious about how Brother Hong had tricked the movie queen into his hands.
"Your sister-in-law actually loved me very much at that time, but she was a little afraid of marriage and was always reluctant to get married. I thought of a way.
One time, your sister-in-law said that she hadn't had her period, so I bought her a pregnancy test stick. After she took the test, she found out that she was pregnant.
She was immediately stunned, and I took the opportunity to take out the ring I had prepared and took her away directly, hehehe."
Hong Sanshi smiled proudly as he recalled the past.
"Then the child you and your sister-in-law had at that time..."
Fang Xiaole asked in a low voice, afraid of bringing up Brother Hong's sad memories.
"No child, I bought the pregnancy test stick. Of course I did something, so by the time your sister-in-law found out she wasn't pregnant, we had already gotten married.
She realized she had gotten on board and accepted her fate."
Hong Sanshi said with a chuckle.
Fang Xiaole was stunned. After a while, he murmured:
"I finally understand why you're so afraid of my sister-in-law, Brother Hong. It turns out you've always felt guilty."
"Hey, hey, that's not called being henpecked, that's called respecting your wife. They're two completely different things, okay?"
Hong Sanshi quit immediately.
"By the way, Brother Hong, there is one more thing."
Fang Xiaole's voice became a little more serious.
"Wait a minute, I'll park the car."
Hong Sanshi heard that Fang Xiaole was about to talk about something serious. He had just arrived home and parked the car. Then he said, "Go ahead."
"I have a script here. It's low-budget, but the story is okay. I wonder if you are interested." Fang Xiaole said.
"script?"
Hong Sanshi was a little slow to react, and then asked, "Where did you get the script?"
"I taught myself and tried to write one randomly." Fang Xiaole replied.
"You wrote this? Holy shit, bro, you're planning on doing it all, land, sea, and air?"
Of course, Hong Sanshi would not believe Fang Xiaole's so-called "random writing". Given Fang Xiaole's personality, since he dared to show it to others, it must be good.
But he was not too surprised. Only Hong Sanshi knew how much effort Fang Xiaole had put in to grow from a rookie to the popular variety show director of Apple TV.
I remember that it was Hong Sanshi who helped him find those directing courses.
Considering his younger brother's nature of working silently and having been a variety show director for so long, it's not surprising that he is now tinkering with a script.
"Is it a TV series or a movie?"
Hong Sanshi asked, since nothing Fang Xiaole made was defective, he was still very interested.
"Low-budget movies and TV series are too long. I really don't have time to make them."
Fang Xiaole paused and said, "I want to try it out with a small investment. Even if I lose money, I won't lose much."
Hong Sanshi immediately reacted: "You're targeting me again, you want your Love Studio to invest in this movie?"
"Brother Hong, it's Ai Yao Studio." Fang Xiaole corrected helplessly.
"Haha, such a revealing name, isn't it love?" Hong Sanshi sneered.
Fang Xiaole didn't argue with him any more and asked directly:
"Brother Hong, how about I send you the script first? Can you take a look and see if there's a role you like in it? And when you have time, please help me keep an eye out for actors who are suitable for other roles."
"Tsk, you're quite the planner. You even want me to take care of the casting for you, right?"
Hong Sanshi scolded with a smile.
"hey-hey."
Fang Xiaole has become thick-skinned now, and he is not embarrassed even if he is exposed.
"Okay, okay, send it to me. If it works, when do you plan to start it?"
Hong Sanshi asked.
"I want to do this before I propose to Lin Yao. Once our relationship is made public, we might face a lot of pressure. I think before that, I want to make myself stronger."
Fang Xiaole said slowly.
If he and Lin Yao really suddenly announced their marriage, it would definitely cause a stir in the entertainment industry, and both of them would face overwhelming doubts and pressure from all sides.
Fang Xiaole thought clearly that most of these doubts and pressures came from the difference in status between him and Lin Yao in the entertainment industry.
Lin Yao is now almost a household name, and although he is famous in the songwriting and variety show circles, he is behind the scenes and will never be as dazzling as the stars on the stage.
Such a gap in status will not only make him questioned by Lin Yao's fans and other media, but Lin Yao's career may also be affected.
Two people are like a small boat in the sea. In order to avoid being swallowed by the foreseeable waves, they must find a way to turn this small boat into a big ship as soon as possible so that it can withstand the wind and waves.
