Chapter 111 My heart stopped for a second
This is indeed the case.
Apart from the fact that the winner treated the entire crew to a good meal as per industry practice, and Liang Ruwen paid for afternoon tea for the entire crew for a week, one could not see any arrogance of winning the award from Shu Ming on weekdays.
Shu Ming arrived early, even earlier than most of the actors.
After the New Year, the crew was still filled with a bit of the New Year atmosphere, and fortunately the plot was also light-hearted at this time.
It was nothing more than that Huo Jingtian, in order to dispel the vigilance of the Huo brothers and sisters, deliberately disguised himself as an unlearned playboy, and lived a life of debauchery in Hong Kong with another fool, Huo Laoer, causing many jokes; at the same time, he slowly inquired about information and learned about the inner situation of the Huo family and Huo Jingtian's own past.
He walked carefully, fearing that he would be exposed, but fortunately, God did not treat him badly.
Because not only he didn't understand Huo Jingtian, but no one else did either!
The fourth young master of the Huo family was the product of a love affair that Mr. Huo had while he was abroad, and his mother was from City S who had lived abroad for many years.
The reason why the fourth young master Huo, who had lived in Country W for a long time and devoted himself to the study of philosophy, returned to China this time was, firstly, because Huo Jingtian's mother had passed away and he wanted to return to China to see her old home; secondly, the old man of the Huo family was dying and he hoped to bring his youngest son, who had been away from him for many years, back to his side so that the Huo family could be reunited before he passed away.
Who dares to disobey the old man's obsession?
The will hadn't even been signed yet, and all parties were eager to see what was going on, harboring ulterior motives. But on the surface, they still obeyed the old man...
Did the person who brought him on board also do so for this will?
Can he escape unscathed if Mr. Huo closes his eyes?
Huo Jingtian soon found out the answer.
Because a few days ago, the boss of the Huo family called him alone to Mr. Huo's bedside, under the pretext of giving him a chance to exercise: he gave him the Huo family's branch company.
Today, these people have finally shown their man-eating fangs!
Huo Jingtian was already full of doubts. Was this branch really as lucrative and prosperous as it appeared on the surface?
He really didn't dare to take it lightly, so he simply went back and stayed up for three or four nights before he could barely figure out the twists and turns involved.
This company may seem okay on the surface, but it's actually a complete mess!
If this account cannot be settled, you can just wait for it to explode one day, and then take the blame and go to jail for decades!
Ha, it’s a good thing that the one who came is someone who has experienced business.
If it was the real Fourth Young Master Huo who came, he would have been eaten up by the ruthless Huo family!
No, that's not right!
Is it completely natural that he is the one who comes?
So he was kidnapped on a boat, and not only did he have to live in fear pretending to be someone else, but he also had to take the blame for your Huo family?!
Huo Jingtian's chest heaved several times, his face flushed slightly with anger, and he almost smashed everything in the room.
But then I thought - according to his character, he shouldn't know this.
How could the Fourth Young Master Huo, who only knew how to study philosophy, no, didn't even understand philosophy, understand these things?
But I can't keep this anger at bay.
If he can't come out, is it still Huo Jingtian?
So he simply turned down his second brother's invitation to the banquet and came to the casino in the name of celebration.
Huo Jingtian sat at the gambling table with his legs crossed, his hand casually throwing out millions of chips. "I'll give them all to you. The account is with Big Brother. He'll pay at the end of the month."
The people below immediately cheered—
Even though Huo Jingtian's Cantonese at this time was so poor that it couldn't be any worse, everyone, for the sake of his money and status, could still shamelessly praise him: "The fourth young master Huo has an excellent talent for languages!"
"The fourth young master is generous!"
Take a look.
This is the charm of money and power.
Ha, charm.
Huo Jingtian idly toyed with the dice in his hand, observing the ugly expressions of all parties for a few seconds with a cold eye. Then he suddenly laughed twice, and then, surrounded by the crowd, he picked up his windbreaker and strode away with great pride.
After joining the Hong Kong line, Shu Ming gradually tried a more mature style.
For example, his hair was combed back in an informal style, completely revealing his flawless jade-like face. The dim lights of the casino reflected his deep features and his half-smile.
Good directors are masters of playing with light.
Chen Mi is also a master of light control. He uses mottled and hazy colored lights, the scattered light reflected by the surrounding decorations, and a single light source pressed to the extreme to create this moment of decadence and luxury, and to highlight Huo Jingtian's strong charm.
In particular, Shu Ming himself still has such a three-dimensional appearance, and when the light shines on his face, he hardly needs any retouching or makeup.
High brow bones, high nose bridge, clear jawline... naturally give him many shadows hiding emotions.
The high contrast between light and dark adds a lot of texture to the picture, which can be called a show of skill!
At the same time, many extras were dispatched, and a single-camera lens was used to slowly move the characters, allowing Huo Jingtian to pass through the flattery, whether genuine or false, and walk outside without getting a single leaf on his body, quietly feeling the cold night breeze for a second.
Another female lead was already waiting for him outside.
Rong Caiqing happened to pass by here and heard that Huo Jingtian was also here, so she simply sat in the car and waited for her lover to show up.
Ever since Huo Jingtian saved her when he passed by the horse farm, she has been bewitched by the heroic figure that seemed to have descended from the sky that day. Later, the two of them expressed their feelings to each other, and Rong Caiqing's heart was completely tied to the Fourth Young Master Huo.
While she was waiting, she would glance out the window from time to time. She thought she had concealed it well enough, but the blush on her face still revealed her young heart. As soon as she caught a glimpse of the corner of Huo Jingtian's clothes, she couldn't wait to fly into his strong arms like a little bird out of a cage.
Her long seaweed-like hair draped over her coat. She raised her little face, and the street lights added a touch of gentleness to her.
Rong Caiqing put her arms around the other person's neck and looked up at a handsome and three-dimensional face. His long and heroic eyebrows swept into his temples, but his eyes looked at her with special tenderness, emitting a halo brighter than the moon hanging in the sky.
Their noses met, and she was intoxicated by Huo Jingtian's pleasant smell and passionate eyes, almost obsessed and drunk. For a moment, she wished that they could ignore the gazes of passers-by and hug and kiss each other tightly!
But in the end it didn't happen.
Huo Jingtian is such a gentleman. Even though he is deeply in love with her, he will not easily overstep the line and will respect her wishes.
He simply gathered Rong Caiqing's collar gently and whispered, "Let's get in the car, okay? You've just recovered from a cold, don't catch a cold."
God knows, such deep concern is even more blushing and heart-pounding than a kiss! Rong Caiqing immediately obeyed him, watching him considerately open the car door for her, carefully shielding the door frame for her to avoid bumps, and then get out from the other side of the car.
The car immediately drove away, leaving behind a trail of exhaust fumes.
After a while, a figure appeared at the corner.
A figure watched the whole process silently, and his face gradually darkened when he saw the perfect couple, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, so affectionate.
"This fourth brother..." Huo Jingxuan hammered the wall angrily. He was so worried about Huo Jingtian that he skipped the banquet to come and visit him. Who knew he would run into such a good show as soon as he arrived!
Is the friendship between these two brothers not as strong as that of this woman who interfered?!
What an ungrateful and ungrateful person! Humph, it’s a pity that he was worried about me so much!
On the other side, Huo Jingtian, who was leaning against the car window with his forehead supported, was unaware of this little episode. He was still racking his brains over how to settle this huge bad debt.
How to fill this huge hole?
Take his life? I'm afraid it won't be enough.
What can I do?
**
What else can I do? Of course I have to do it with my head on the line!
What can he do as a small thug with no power, no influence and no background?
He privately revealed some information to the second son Huo Jingxuan, but he didn't expect that the boy would suggest that he go to his father and cry.
"At most I'll get a scolding, it's okay, the worst that can happen... the worst that can happen is grounding!"
The boy spoke nonchalantly, as if hundreds of millions of dollars were nothing but a slight rebuke from his father.
Huo Jingtian wanted to laugh at first, but later he felt a deep sense of sadness and jealousy.
——You know, I will really go to jail, and maybe before I go in, I will even commit suicide out of fear of punishment.
Yes, they are two different types of people after all.
Huo Jingtian now suspects that Mr. Huo knows the truth, and everyone just tacitly pushed him to be a scapegoat, so they allowed him to squander the past six months.
In order to fill this bill, only high-profit businesses can do it.
At this time, what is the most profitable business?
It's parallel import.
He had no choice but to go to Africa for smuggling.
In fact, Huo Jingtian also thought about sneaking back to the mainland.
But when he thought of his all-powerful enemies in City S and the huge debts...if he had not ended up in such a situation, he would not have gritted his teeth and taken on such a dangerous job.
How can risking your life not be risking your life?
Anyway, from beginning to end, his life was worthless.
Huo Jingtian laughed at himself.
The lives of ordinary people are just like this, not as precious as those of real young masters.
So fate pushed him and forced him to board a distant ship again.
**
According to Chen Mi, they also plan to film the overseas plots in real life.
During this trip, Huo Jingtian first sold parallel imports in Africa and then explored the American market. It took him a full year and a half before he returned to Hong Kong.
But overall it is better to concentrate on filming the Hong Kong plot first. Otherwise, it will be a waste of manpower and money to go back and forth.
Huo Jingtian came back from Africa after working hard. Although he brought back a huge amount of money, he looked much thinner.
During his time in Africa, he negotiated with others, navigated through hail of bullets, was robbed by pirates on a cargo ship, experienced times of high spirits and times of disgrace.
Living with his head hanging on his belt every day made him alert when he slept, and his old leg injury hurt when it rained, but it also made him more ruthless in gambling.
Accompanying him this time was his deputy Xi Jia. Although Xi Jia was also ordered by the Huo family to monitor Huo Jingtian, the two of them inevitably developed a friendship after going through many life and death situations, and they can be considered good friends.
In the second half of their journey to America, because the situation was very good, there was also a second Huo who was pushed to share a piece of the pie.
Many things have come to an end.
Huo Jingtian has no intention of returning to China. He longs to see familiar Asian faces! Even hearing some unfamiliar Cantonese can soothe his homesick heart.
According to his idea, the three of them took the nearest boat and returned home first in a low-key manner.
The ships were all set up in Hong Kong, and the geographical location could not be seen anyway, so Chen Mi chose to shoot the story inside the ship in Hong Kong.
The most demanding requirement throughout the entire process was that Shu Ming had to lose weight quickly without losing muscle mass, because Huo Jingtian was extremely lean at the time.
This is really hard for Shu Ming!
The entire crew was waiting for him, so Shu Ming had to live like an ascetic every day, losing weight and sculpting his body lines... making sure every inch of his body could withstand the scrutiny of the camera.
Zhuang Zheng sighed more often!
But the results are obvious.
Specifically, when Huo Jingxuan was blocked in the cabin and was being harassed for no reason, a tall and thin figure slowly walked up from the corner of the stairs and appeared in the middle of the camera.
Then he subconsciously stood in front of Huo Jingxuan.
Li Chen discovered that Shu Ming still had the same grassy scent as always, but it was inexplicably fragrant.
Especially when it is standing in front of you in a protective manner like this, the smell is more obvious.
From his perspective, he could see the cervical vertebrae protruding from a slender white neck, and then extending into the collar - the man was very thin, showing a fragility that had not been seen in the previous plot.
But the words he said while smoking were exactly the opposite.
He was idle and careless, yet he tightly enveloped himself in a protective environment.
He said, "Oh? My brother is such a kind and gentle person. He has never wanted to hurt even a little bird since he was a child... I'm afraid you are going too far."
The scripts have always contained only simple lines.
Shu Ming patted the back of his hand soothingly and naturally.
It seems to be saying - I'm here, don't be afraid.
His fingertips were cold.
Huo Jingxuan's heart followed the rhythm of his fingertips and skipped a second.
