Wang Mingge, who walked previous the 2 with a megaphone, patted Qi Xiaoyu on the shoulder and stated, “Don’t take away your make-up but. Let’s take a gaggle picture first.”

There was a variety of noise in every single place round them; some have been busy amassing tools, some have been dismantling props, some have been taking off their headgear, some have been clapping their arms in celebration, and a few have been simply mendacity all the way down to relaxation…

There have been tons of of individuals on the crew of “The Evil.” Prior to now two months, all of them adopted the director to varied locations, from the wilderness to the movie and tv metropolis, taking turns to work extra time and keep up late. Now that they will lastly go house to relaxation, naturally, everyone seems to be joyful, all displaying a sigh of aid.

Qi Xiaoyu’s temper… is a bit difficult.

Since final night time, a wide range of feelings have been tugging at his coronary heart.

In the present day, after the film was completed, the thread that had been pulling on his nerves was damaged, so it was inevitable that he indulged himself slightly bit.

Jiang Sicheng rapidly took off the black bear garments on his physique and threw them apart. Because of this, Wang Mingge noticed it and severely criticized him: “I advised you to not take off your customized and take photos first. What’s mistaken with you?”

Jiang Sicheng made a face at him and instantly hid behind Qi Xiaoyu, “I lastly completed filming, and you continue to need to make me put on these ugly garments!”

He rested one hand on Qi Xiaoyu’s shoulder, swaying one leg, after which caught a glimpse of Qi Xiaoyu’s expression. “What’s mistaken with you? The filming is over; why do you continue to look bitter and resentful? Let me inform you, don’t get too emotionally connected to the position you performed; watch out of getting depressed.”

Li Kun initially felt that Qi Xiaoyu was not in a great state these two days. After listening to what Jiang Sicheng stated, his face modified, however he was afraid that displaying an excessive amount of fear would have an effect on Qi Xiaoyu’s temper much more, so he might solely fake to be offended. “Younger Grasp Jiang, don’t speak nonsense.”

He joked, “You performed black bear spirit for 2 months and weren’t even depressed. Xiaoyu will get to put on lovely garments every single day; why would he be depressed?”

Jiang Sicheng’s mouth deflated. ”What’s mistaken with you, Li Kun? Are you able to please cease speaking about this? I nonetheless haven’t posted a single put up up to now two months. Subsequent time, I’ll by no means be fooled by this previous man Wang Mingge once more.”

“That’s proper. The film hasn’t been launched or promoted but. You need to watch for no less than a couple of extra months.”

“Shut up!”

The 2 of them have been laughing and joking, and Qi Xiaoyu’s temper additionally improved slightly.

Then, when the venue was nearly cleaned up, everybody gathered collectively below Wang Mingge’s command and took an enormous group picture.

At this level, the entire film has formally completed filming.

Within the night, Wang Mingge hosted and invited the whole crew to a sizzling pot restaurant subsequent to the movie and tv metropolis for dinner, after which they went to karaoke.

There’s no flight out of town that night time anyway, so everybody booked daytime flights house the following day, able to eat, drink, and have a great time all night time tonight.

Qi Xiaoyu’s make-up was tough to take away. He spent a very long time cleansing the glitter below his eyes and thoroughly took off his garments. When he arrived on the sizzling pot restaurant, the opposite fundamental inventive employees had mainly arrived.

Seeing him coming in from a distance, Cui Jing waved to him, “Xiaoyu, this fashion.”

Kang Qitao, who was sitting subsequent to Cui Jing, additionally stated to Qi Xiaoyu, “Go get the dipping sauce first after which come over. The recent pot right here can be prepared quickly.”

This sizzling pot restaurant shouldn’t be very large, and it was type of crowded, so the boss added a couple of extra tables, one subsequent to the opposite. The individual sitting on the farthest finish needed to arise each time somebody wished to enter and exit, which was actually inconvenient.

Qi Xiaoyu went to get the sauce first.

He likes sesame paste, however he was slightly absent-minded right now, so he unintentionally scooped an excessive amount of.

Fortuitously, the bowl was clear, and he pushed slightly again.

Throughout the spice cupboard, intermittent voices of individuals chatting got here in.

“Brother Yue, are you actually not going house to relaxation tomorrow and proceed to remain within the movie and tv metropolis?”

“What can I do? I’ve to repay my mortgage and automotive mortgage. Lately, the inventory value has fallen once more. It simply so occurs that the crew subsequent door is wanting individuals. I can go there to assist out and make some cash.”

“Hey, aren’t you holding shares of Wanhai Actual Property? Such an enormous firm and backed by Xun’s besides, how can it go down?”

“Hey, you actually don’t observe gossip information.”

“The crew is so busy, and I didn’t even get sufficient sleep. The place do I’ve time to learn gossip? What’s it about?”

“I haven’t heard of it… Brother Yue, inform us what’s happening. The inventory value hasn’t fallen an excessive amount of, proper?”

“Effectively, what can occur? I heard that it’s inner preventing on the high, and the individuals under are struggling. I ought to have purchased Mao’s shares earlier. Their inventory value is rising.”

“…”

Qi Xiaoyu initially wished to place slightly sesame paste again, however for some motive, he poured out all of the sesame paste within the bowl.

On the again, Cui Jing was already urging him, “Xiaoyu, the meat is prepared; come rapidly.”

Qi Xiaoyu hurriedly scooped a spoonful and added some fermented bean curd sauce and sesame seeds.

On the desk, the hotpot base was already arrange. It was a double-flavored pot. One aspect was spicy purple oil, and the opposite aspect was clear soup with mushrooms, and the purple oil aspect was effervescent.

The shelf subsequent to it was crammed with numerous dishes, together with plates of tender pork, beef tenderloin, and pork stomach, in addition to platters of varied mushrooms and recent bean sprouts.

Cui Jing left a seat for him between herself and Jiang Sicheng.

Subsequent to Jiang Sicheng sat Wang Mingge, and subsequent to him sat the male lead and the assistant director. The individuals at this desk have been all of the core members of the crew.

As quickly as Qi Xiaoyu sat down, Wang Mingge picked up a chunk of freshly cooked beef tenderloin for him. “Right here, Xiaoyu, eat extra because you don’t must put on costumes or do stunts anymore.”

Jiang Sicheng, who was consuming meat, stopped the chopsticks in mid-air when he heard this: “Biased.”

Wang Mingge checked out Qi Xiaoyu and appeared to disregard Jiang Sicheng’s phrases, “Xiaoyu, if you happen to got here late, this plate of meat can be eaten up.”

Jiang Sicheng snorted when he heard this, opened his mouth, and swallowed the meat in an enormous mouthful.

Everybody on the desk laughed.

Aside from Qi Xiaoyu.

He dipped the meat tenderloin within the sauce casually and put it in his mouth, however he couldn’t inform whether or not the meat got here from the purple pot or the white pot.

Kang Qitao glanced in his course.

Others began chatting whereas consuming sizzling pot. The waiter additionally introduced one other field of wine and positioned it at their toes.

The individuals at this desk didn’t gossip like at different tables; they primarily talked about work.

For instance, how you can organize the post-production publicity and what work preparations every of them had subsequent.

A couple of questions have been thrown at Qi Xiaoyu, however he actually wasn’t within the temper right now, so he barely managed to cope with them.

Fortuitously, the others have been ingesting and consuming meat tonight, in order that they didn’t pay a lot consideration.

It wasn’t till Cui Jing lowered her voice and stated to Wang Mingge, “I heard that Tang Yuning is coming again to make a film. Is that this true?”

Qi Xiaoyu’s ears pricked up. Within the authentic e-book, Tang Yuning’s first funding was “The Turmoil in Mangchuan,” and his first film was “The Departed.”

Kang Qitao’s eyes additionally grew to become sharp.

Wang Mingge smiled, “I simply heard that he appears to be coming again.”

“He’s doing so nicely in nation A; why would he abruptly need to come again? Which film did he take a elaborate to? Director Shen’s “The Departed”?”

Wang Mingge laughed and stated, “This isn’t one thing I can simply say casually.”

Cui Jing additionally smiled. “Talking of which, he and I are in the identical firm, however we’ve got by no means labored collectively earlier than, and we haven’t even added mates… As for our boss, Director Wang, you additionally know that we don’t see anybody all yr spherical, and we will’t even begin staff constructing within the firm. I don’t know as a lot about my colleagues as you do.”

Wang Mingge smiled. “What does that should do with something? Your Feichi Media is creating very nicely.”

“…”

The meal lasted greater than two hours. Many plates of meat and bottles of beer have been served intermittently. In the long run, everybody couldn’t eat or drink anymore and gave up.

Subsequent, they went to the KTV whereas rubbing their stomachs.

Kang Qitao walked round Cui Jing and towards Qi Xiaoyu. “Xiaoyu, need to come and have a smoke with me?”

Kang Qitao often doesn’t smoke with non-smokers. Since he stated that, he most likely has one thing to say to him. Qi Xiaoyu nodded and adopted Kang Qitao to an empty alley on the again door of the resort.

Kang Qitao lit the cigarette, first requested about Qi Xiaoyu’s workload, after which slowly turned to the issues he wished to say.

“After this drama is completed, what are your plans, Xiaoyu?”

Qi Xiaoyu leaned towards the wall, raised his head, and seemed on the sky with none objective. “This film could be very nicely achieved. I really feel like I’ve simply began, and now it’s already completed. I need to shoot a couple of extra films later.”

Kang Qitao smiled. “That’s not what I meant. I need to ask… Do you need to keep at Star Leisure? Star Leisure can’t provide you with many sources sooner or later.”

Qi Xiaoyu lowered his eyes and didn’t reply.

Kang Qitao turned his head and spit out a mouthful of smoke in the other way. “Or do you may have different concerns?”

After a pause, he continued, “Xiaoyu… I can barely be thought of your senior, and I don’t need you to take extra detours, so I’ll say another factor… You at the moment are totally able to creating your self. You don’t must depend on anybody.”

Each of them are good individuals, they usually perceive every little thing with out having to elucidate an excessive amount of.

Kang Qitao was one of many few individuals who knew the within story of his relationship with Xun Qian. Qi Xiaoyu stated calmly, “Thanks, Instructor Kang, in your concern.”

Kang Qitao checked out Qi Xiaoyu and felt that the opposite occasion didn’t take his phrases to coronary heart. He couldn’t assist however converse slightly extra severely, “Though that individual is basically succesful, he isn’t a simple individual to get together with. If you will get out of this case now… it’s higher to get out as quickly as attainable.”

Qi Xiaoyu maintained a relaxed expression on his face and stated, “I’ll bear in mind what Instructor Kang stated.”

Kang Qitao stated every little thing he wished to say and didn’t power it. He patted Qi Xiaoyu on the shoulder and stated, “Okay, you’re a good child; simply know what you’re doing. Let’s go sing, and don’t preserve them ready.”

Qi Xiaoyu adopted behind him. He revered Kang Qitao very a lot, from his expertise to his character, however even Kang Qitao checked out Xun Qian like that, not to mention others.

Nobody had ever dared to speak about Xun Qian, however all of them thought so of their hearts.

He had no expression on his face, however his coronary heart abruptly sank, as if it have been being pulled by one thing.

Xun Qian’s room had been lit for 2 consecutive nights.

He sat on the desk with greater than a dozen doc home windows open on the pc display screen in entrance of him.

He knew how his uncle, Xu Zhihui, and his two sons had embezzled public funds and stuffed their personal pockets over time, however he has all the time turned a blind eye.

He used to suppose it didn’t matter as a result of he had no future to plan for and didn’t care how a lot he left behind.

However now it’s not attainable; he has to plan for one more individual.

So, he couldn’t let go of Xu Xiucheng and the Mao household’s secret mischief as he had earlier than. He additionally needed to spend a while coping with the Tang household and his mom.

Though the little black canine’s eyes have been closed, it clearly hadn’t slept for the entire night time, simply mendacity obediently on the bottom, in contrast to the standard sleeping posture with all 4 paws within the air.

Xun Qian propped his proper hand on the chair, rubbed his temple, and seemed up on the calendar. Qi Xiaoyu ought to be again tomorrow, and he wished to cope with extra issues earlier than he got here again.

The KTV reserved by the crew was full of individuals coming and going, and the espresso desk was crammed with opened bottles of wine.

As quickly as Qi Xiaoyu and Kang Qitao got here in, somebody got here ahead to greet them and say, “Xiaoyu, come and begin the present.”

Qi Xiaoyu was not as good-tempered as common and politely refused, “You guys sing first.”

Then he searched round and located Li Kun, who was a bit drunk, on the couch.

Qi Xiaoyu bent over and woke him up. “I’ve one thing to do. I’ve to return first.”

“Return?” Li Kun drank slightly an excessive amount of. The individuals at this desk right now drank loads, and he felt embarrassed to be the one one who didn’t drink. In addition to, they have been supposed to return tomorrow, and Wang Mingge additionally allowed everybody to drink tonight.

Now, he rubbed his eyes when he heard Qi Xiaoyu’s phrases. He didn’t fairly perceive what he meant, considering that the opposite occasion was drained and wished to return to the resort first. “I’ll accompany you.”

“No, I’m going house. You may assist me pack my stuff on the resort tomorrow.”

“Go house? However there aren’t any flights right now…”

“I do know. I’m going to the airport within the neighboring metropolis.”

“This… It’s too late right now. Hiya, if I had identified, I wouldn’t drink. I wouldn’t have the ability to drive now.”

“It’s okay, I’ll name a taxi myself.”

“It’s not simple to name a taxi in the midst of the night time… Or wait till I sober up.”

“I’ll name first.”

Qi Xiaoyu twisted his wrist two days in the past, and it’s not handy for him to drive.

Li Kun additionally most likely can’t drive on this state.

And most people right here have additionally drunk alcohol.

He took out his cell phone to e-book a taxi whereas holding his coat in his hand. He walked to the door to see if he might attempt his luck and hail a taxi that was prepared to go to the neighboring metropolis.

The road outdoors was very quiet, and the taxi reserving web page additionally confirmed that there have been no out there autos close by.

At this second, a Cadillac pulled up subsequent to him. The window rolled down, displaying Ma Weiye, with one hand outdoors the window, “Are you going to the airport?”
