Shang Lin hurriedly grasped Old Man Chai's weak hand and suddenly smiled, "Iron Egg, it's been a long time since I've heard that name."
Old Man Chai laughed along, "Our Tiedan is a grown man now, he should be called by his real name. But a humble name is really easy to raise. Look how well you are now, it's like you've become a different person. If it weren't for the fact that your voice hasn't changed, I would have thought I was hallucinating."
Shang Lin hurriedly advised, "Godfather has just woken up and must be very weak. We can talk about it after you are discharged from the hospital and go home. I am a first-year high school student and I am preparing for my final exams."
"First year of high school? Final exams?" Old Man Chai, his memory hazy, closed his eyes. "I am indeed very weak, I don't even have the strength to speak. You go about your business, don't worry about me. But who is taking care of me?"
"Oh, his name is She Jinxing, he's my friend. Godfather can talk to him about anything. I have to go home and do my homework. Also, don't worry about money, we have money for medical treatment now."
"...Okay." Old Man Chai drifted off to sleep again, as if countless sleep bugs had instantly overwhelmed him.
She Jinxing looked at Shang Lin with some confusion, but sent him a telepathic message: "Is the sect leader stalling for time?"
Shang Lin frankly said, "That is indeed part of the reason, but more importantly, it's because Grandpa Chai's health doesn't allow it, oh, and my time doesn't allow it either. I really have to go home and do my homework."
"Alright, Sect Master, take care."
Red Scorpion very cooperatively took Shang Lin home, but the next day Xing Tian dragged him to the martial arts gym to film a video. He was both dissatisfied and puzzled, "How dare you leave Old Man Chai? Aren't you worried that he might suddenly faint and you'll live in his place?"
Xing Tian said, "The hospital has confirmed that Old Man Chai is fine and just needs to rest. What do I have to do? We've already rented all the space. Wouldn't it be a waste of money if we didn't start work?"
Red Scorpion, "..."
After scrolling through his phone for so many days, Red Scorpion finally realized that money is truly essential in the human world, especially since they need to cultivate and have few resources, so they basically rely on money to make ends meet.
No wonder Shang Lin is so enthusiastic about making money. He has no choice but to be, considering how many disciples there are in their sect, and who doesn't need cultivation resources? Even Shang Lin himself needs them.
At least Red Scorpion knew he couldn't easily take out the gold and silver jewelry stored in his storage bag, otherwise it would cause a lot of trouble. So he was now a penniless disciple of the Cloud Platform Sect who could only rely on the sect leader.
Forced by reality, Red Scorpion had no choice but to compromise, saying, "Alright, pat pat pat."
But the next second, Red Scorpion asked in confusion, "Why don't you let Hu Tangdi film the video? She's so beautiful, wouldn't she be more eye-catching? Wouldn't it be a waste not to make use of her?"
While helping Chi Xie choose clothes, Xing Tian replied, "She also wants to film videos, but they're different from ours. And the more beautiful a face is, the more she needs to cover it up so she can attract more attention."
Red Scorpion, "..."
Is that even possible? Looks like I haven't been using my phone enough.
Because the shoot was about her daily workout routine, Xing Tian chose a tight-fitting top and wide-leg sweatpants for Chi Xie. To be fair, the outfit looked fantastic on her, even more eye-catching than if she were naked, and would definitely make any woman swoon. But...
Red Scorpion said with a look of disgust, "What kind of clothes did you choose for me? Look at She Jinxing's first video. He was wearing the iron armor of an ancient general and a mask. He looked so majestic. And look at me. I look like a pretty boy. I don't want to film this kind of thing. I want to film something like She Jinxing's."
Xing Tian looked helpless. "Didn't you say you couldn't use a spear or a longsword? Why are you changing your mind now?"
Red Scorpion choked, but still went his own way, "I can learn even if I don't know how, anyway I won't make videos of pretty boys."
Xing Tian had a headache and really wanted to say, "This is simply unreasonable, hopeless, and lawless."
However, considering that it was already quite difficult for this guy to agree to film, I had no choice but to call Hu Tangdi and ask her to send over the ancient general's costume that She Jinxing wore when filming the first episode.
When Hu Tangdi received Xing Tian's call, he was completely bewildered and subconsciously asked, "What's going on? Weren't we filming daily training routines? Why do we need the general's costume again?"
What could Xing Tian say? He could only say, "It was the actor's request."
Hu Tangdi immediately realized that it was the Red Scorpion causing trouble again, but she also knew that the guy was not easy to deal with, so she had no choice but to take the clothes and go there herself.
Red Scorpion indeed didn't know how to use a spear or a sword. He was dressed, but he was still a step behind She Jinxing in terms of imposing presence. He asked with great dissatisfaction, "Does it have to be done according to human spear and sword techniques? Can't I just dance around like this?"
Xing Tian glanced at Red Scorpion with a helpless expression. "Do you think humans don't understand anything? There are plenty of experts out there. Although black and red are still red, I don't want it to be like this."
Red Scorpion was somewhat dissatisfied, but dared not show it, as if he were being uncooperative. After all, Hu Tangdi had already been put through a wringer because of his words, so he could only ask, "So what do we do now?"
Xing Tian also wondered what to do. Even if they learned on the spot, it would still take time, wouldn't it? Besides, they had already set up this makeshift team, so what if the actors messed up at the crucial moment?
Hu Tangdi, however, said from the side, "Otherwise, we could film the daily life of an ancient general. Chi Xie is handsome, so he can attract attention just as well."
Xing Tian looked at Hu Tangdi, then at Chi Xie, and suddenly laughed, “How about this, Junior Sister, why don’t you make an appearance too? You can act out a story of heroes and beauties. Who says generals have to fight and shed blood? Generals are human too, they also have a tender side, okay?”
Hu Tangdi smiled slightly, and a peach blossom fan immediately appeared in his hand. He shook it before saying, "That sounds quite interesting, but I can cooperate. Is someone willing?"
When Hu Tangdi looked over with his captivating eyes, Red Scorpion suddenly felt a tremor in his heart. But as a male, could he back down at a time like this?
Of course not, so he immediately said, "I can too."
Xing Tian was even happier and immediately arranged for filming. Of course, due to the short notice, he couldn't write a script and could only film the characters first. It has to be said that Hu Tangdi and Chi Xie looked very good together on camera.
As for how to interact with the characters, he could think of the plot later, or simply hire a professional to write the script. In short, at this moment, Xing Tian had another money-making plan in mind, but this plan would really require hiring ordinary people.
