Chapter 217 Rich Woman
Hu Xiaoxiao wiped the ketchup from the corner of his mouth with a tissue and sat up.
Not only did she have ketchup on the corner of her mouth, but her costume was also dyed with red paint and had a fake bullet hole on it.
"Xiaoxiao, this is very auspicious!" Qi Weiming came over and handed Hu Xiaoxiao a big red envelope, and told her: "Don't keep the red envelope overnight. Remember to spend it today."
For actors who die during filming, the crew will give them a red envelope for good luck. It's not a large sum, but purely for good luck.
This wasn't the first time Hu Xiaoxiao had received a red envelope like this. He'd received one the last time he filmed Zhou Bijun's scene, so he knew the rules. Although he didn't believe it, he still said, "I understand. I'll use it to buy roast chicken later."
"Just remember it," Qi Weiming reminded Hu Xiaoxiao, worried that young people might be careless and forget about it. Superstition says that if a red envelope like this isn't spent and is left overnight, it's bad for the actor.
After receiving the red envelope, Hu Xiaoxiao changed out of her costume that was stained with red paint, put on casual clothes, and drove her tattered car to the old place to buy roast chicken.
After the filming was completed, Hu Xiaoxiao started his shopping life again.
The purpose of working hard to earn money is to spend it happily, so she first bought a new car, this time a white one.
I drove my new car and stopped by to take a look at her mansion.
Her new luxury residential complex is named Tiancui City. Once it is fully built and equipped, it can truly be called a city within a city.
Tiancui City has already completed two phases of construction, and Hu Xiaoxiao's new house is already under renovation. She has entrusted the entire renovation to Xie Zhiheng's company. Mingxu's mansion across the street is also being renovated by the same company.
Hu Xiaoxiao walked around twice. The third phase of the community was almost completed, and the fourth and fifth phases were also under construction.
Since the 1990s, housing prices have been rising year by year. The subway line near Tiancui City has opened, and after that, the Xie Group worked with the Hong Kong government to build roads, driving housing prices higher every month. Even though the project isn't yet complete, all pre-sale units have sold out, making housing hard to come by.
Xie's father was so happy that he gave Hu Xiaoxiao the third floor of the office building under construction in Tiancui City, so that she could collect rent from it in the future.
Hu Xiaoxiao has not received much pay in recent years. She spends money lavishly. This little pay is not enough for her to eat and drink. Her expenses all depend on her business income.
Even though she has a lot of business income, she spends money too much and is very generous, supporting charity from time to time. So even though she has been famous for so many years, she doesn't have much money in her account.
However, the only thing she lost was the money in her account.
She has quite a few assets under her name. The dance school she bought in collaboration with Chen Tianhua cost her half of the money, and its value has also appreciated in the past two years.
After building the school, Chen Tianhua had some extra money and bought some shops in the name of the company to use as training institutions, and Hu Xiaoxiao also had a share of these shops.
Not to mention the real estate under her name, the shelves in Hu Xiaoxiao's cloakroom were all filled with all kinds of brand-name watches, bags, clothes, etc. The most were jewelry, which filled up two large shelves with several layers.
Nowadays, when Hu Xiaoxiao attends events, everything she wears and accessories are her own private collection, and she always dresses up brightly. She is naturally beautiful, and with beautiful and expensive clothes and jewelry, she is the focus wherever she goes.
Now he owns a luxury house and a three-story office building given by his father Xie. Hu Xiaoxiao's net worth is inestimable.
But outsiders don’t know how rich this woman who works so hard on filming is. Seeing Hu Xiaoxiao shopping all the time and only buying expensive things, they think she is a pauper - but if you count the money in her bank card, Hu Xiaoxiao is indeed quite poor.
Look, I just made some money and used it to buy a new car.
After each shoot, Hu Xiaoxiao enjoys some time off—a time she calls "experiencing life." She spends her days eating and drinking, chatting with her grandparents about gossip, and hanging out with friends. Perhaps this is the joy of a hard-working life.
Hu Xiaoxiao lived happily and carefree every day until she received a call from Song Yan'an that day.
Song Yan'an on the other end of the phone was a little depressed and asked Hu Xiaoxiao if he was free.
Hu Xiaoxiao said, "Yes, of course I'm free. If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."
Song Yanan on the other end of the phone smiled, his mood seemed much better, and said, "I just finished filming and I want to treat you to a meal. Are you free?"
"You can be busy with other things, but you must be busy with food. Brother An, congratulations on wrapping up."
"Thank you." Song Yan'an made an appointment for tomorrow, a seaside restaurant, a very quiet place.
The next day, Hu Xiaoxiao put on the latest clothes of the season, a newly bought pink diamond necklace, high heels, and drove her new car to a seaside restaurant.
Song Yanan had already arrived. He was dressed casually, wearing sunglasses, and sitting under a huge parasol, flipping through a magazine.
There is a table and two beach chairs under the parasol. Sitting on the beach chairs, you can overlook the beach and sea in the distance and enjoy the sea breeze.
Hu Xiaoxiao walked over and sat on another beach chair, putting his bag on the table. "Brother An, so early?"
"I just got here too." Song Yan'an took off his sunglasses, put away his magazine, and waved for the waiter to come over. "Would you like something to drink?"
"Orange juice." After ordering a glass of orange juice from the waiter, Hu Xiaoxiao looked at Song Yan'an seriously and asked curiously, "Brother An, the filming is over, shouldn't you be happy and have a vacation? Why do you look more tired than when you were filming?"
There are dark circles under my eyes. Have you not slept for a few days?
Song Yanan picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, then said, "That's why I asked you to come over and talk to me."
The waiter brought the orange juice. Hu Xiaoxiao took it, placed it in front of him, and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Whatever." Song Yan'an said.
Hu Xiaoxiao was a little confused. "Whatever?"
I called her over from far away just to have a casual chat.
Seeing Hu Xiaoxiao's confused look, Song Yan'an smiled faintly on his tired face. "That's right, just chatting casually. Seeing that you're still alive makes me feel better."
While Hu Xiaoxiao was puzzled, Song Yan'an told her the reason.
It turns out that every time Song Yan'an shoots a scene, he puts all his emotions into the role. After each shoot, he needs to take a while to get over it, and this is in his normal scenes.
If he plays a role that is particularly tragic and has a particularly difficult life, he will immerse himself in the character's grief for a longer time.
In "The Bund", Zhao Zhenchuan is a tragic character who has to go through the pain of losing his relatives, friends, and lover, and also endure the heavy blow brought by the destruction of his country and his family.
In order to play this role well, he had to experience every pain of the protagonist, especially the blow of his lover Xie Weihua's death.
