Chapter 1401 Wish You All the Best
In the crew…
Many hired extras also arrived here. Seeing Fang Qiu’s amazing performance, these actors were impressed by Fang Qiu.
They had seen too many big stars. It was the first time that they had seen such an excellent actor like Fang Qiu. It hadn’t been long since he entered the entertainment circle, yet he knew well how to act.
In their opinion, Fang Qiu was definitely not here to have fun.
He was much better than those eye candies in the entertainment industry!
For them…
As long as the protagonist made a mistake, they would have to shoot the same scene over and over again. It was hard work for them. It would be much easier for them to finish filming the plot within a single shot.
The first scene was all recorded.
The venue was changed.
They came to the shooting site of the second scene.
This was an ancient town.
“This scene doesn’t have so many kung fu moves. The two protagonists stole Yang Yizhi’s money. However, Yang Yizhi didn’t expose them on the spot. Instead, he followed them to a city corner. The two protagonists bought steamed buns for beggars there. Seeing the little beggars wolf down the buns, they were delighted.
“At this moment, a group of people came to them. It turned out the two protagonists stole money from Yang Yizhi and them. These people were about to fight when approaching them aggressively.
“At this time, Yang Yizhi made a move, launching a beautiful counterattack.
“After the fight, the protagonists were startled by Yang Yizhi’s strength. Therefore, he pestered Yang Yizhi and begged him to be their master.
“Yang Yizhi asked why they had this Apprentice Plan. They answered that they were going to protect the weak!”
Zhao Rulong gave them a very sketchy description of the scenes to shoot.
Then…
The man doing action direction entered and taught others the movements.
Everyone practiced these moves once.
“What do you think? Can we shoot the scene?”
Seeing everyone’s fluent moves, Director Chen Xiaogang asked.
“Come on.”
Fang Qiu nodded.
Then the shooting officially began.
Once again, this plot was finished in a single shot!
In the third scene…
The shooting site was shifted to a high mountain. In there, Yang Yizhi would teach martial arts.
This time…
There was no plot to tell in advance.
Director Chen Xiaogang knew Fang Qiu had some kung fu skills, but the protagonists had never learned martial arts. Thus, he let them perform freely.
After the scenes came out, the director, the scriptwriter, and the action direction team were amazed, their eyes sparkling.
“He indeed knows some martial arts. Acting this plot is a piece of cake.”
Director Chen Xiaogang laughed with satisfaction as he watched.
“This scene is good. It looks so real.”
Zhao Rulong, the scriptwriter, was also very satisfied.
“After that, our team will have to put in much more effort.”
Third Brother shook his head with a wry smile.
On the screen…
Fang Qiu acted as how he usually behaved. It was just that he wouldn’t spend much time reasoning things out before the protagonists. Nor would he teach them a whole set of techniques. He just performed a set of fist techniques. Then, he told the protagonists the meaning of this set and how to exert strength correctly. Bit by bit, he corrected the nonstandard actions of the protagonists.
It seemed to be a much easier job than teaching He Gaoming and the others!
On the other side…
The protagonist was extremely inexperienced.
The director required him to put on a jerky style of practicing kung fu. But since he never practiced martial arts, his moves were naturally unskilled. He wouldn’t even have to act. Yet, his movements paled in comparison with Fang Qiu’s.
This plot was quickly finished. Its length was less than two minutes, and Fang Qiu only appeared one minute.
“The total time is only two minutes. Is it enough?”
When the team shot only the protagonist, Fang Qiu stood beside the director and asked.
“That’s enough.”
Director Chen Xiaogang laughed and said, “It’s just an introduction. Learning martial arts shouldn’t make a whole episode. After shooting the scenes, we can add special effects to show changes in the four seasons. Then, the scene of two minutes will become a story of one year.”
“That’s right.”
Fang Qiu nodded with understanding.
In the afternoon…
At sunset…
“Come on, get ready. The last scene, action!”
As the director shouted out loud…
The last scene officially began.
The sun was setting.
Yang Yizhi’s disciple completed his study. Then, he went down the mountain and left.
“Master, where are you going? When can I see you again?”
At the foot of the mountain, the protagonist looked at Yang Yizhi’s back and shouted with tears in his eyes.
“To find a place where my heart gets peace…”
Yang Yizhi lightly waved his hand and walked away.
“Cut!”
Suddenly, Director Chen Xiaogang jumped up from the director’s chair. He picked up the megaphone with a satisfied look and announced, “It’s done. It’s done perfectly!”
After his words…
Applause rang out from the audience!
Fang Qiu also returned with a smile and went to the shed to remove his makeup.
“Fang Qiu.”
When he was removing his makeup, Director Chen Xiaogang ran in with a smile and said, “I didn’t lie to you, did I? As I said, we could finish filming in one day. It is mainly because you did well in acting. Compared with the last time, your acting skills have improved a lot.”
“Thanks to you.”
Fang Qiu smiled.
“I’ve prepared a celebratory banquet in the hotel. Let’s have a good drink.”
Director Chen Xiaogang said with a smile.
“Please, don’t.”
Fang Qiu quickly shook his head and said, “I won’t attend the celebratory banquet. Have a good meal. I have to rush to the capital overnight. Otherwise, I won’t have enough time.”
“It won’t take long for us to have a meal, right?”
Director Chen Xiaogang tried to persuade him.
“I really can’t.”
Fang Qiu gave a wry smile and said, “You know, it’ll be a big deal if I can’t catch the plane. If I’m a little late, it’ll be troublesome. Now many people are staring at me. I can’t let those with bad intentions use this as an excuse to stir up trouble on the Internet.”
“That’s true. Traffic in our country is really bad. From time to time, there will be air control.”
Director Chen Xiaogang nodded and said, “Then I won’t keep you here. I wish you a smooth trip. Show them our national prestige!”
“Thank you for your kind words.”
Fang Qiu answered with a smile.
After his makeup was removed…
A driver from the group came over to send Fang Qiu to Jiangjing Airport.
At the airport, he got the plane ticket booked in advance. Right away, he board the plane and rushed to the capital.
Luckily…
The plane ticket from the capital to Murica was at eight o’clock the next morning, which was just the right time.
…
Here…
Some reporters received the information that Fang Qiu had finished shooting his part in the drama. Soon, they released the news.
Since it was an online drama, all the news was released online.
There…
The media and reports spread the news. Taking this opportunity, the official website of the online drama uploaded Fang Qiu’s photos taken when he finished filming. Besides, it shared some exciting things during the shooting period in words.
Fang Qiu became a hot topic because of the Murica Medical Association’s invitation. As the photos of him finishing recording this online drama were released, it caused a heated discussion among the audience.
Meanwhile, by taking advantage of Fang Qiu’s popularity, Director Chen Xiaogang well-publicized the online drama.
Apparently…
All of this had nothing to do with Fang Qiu.
He was just going to help, and they didn’t even talk about the payment.
On the plane…
Fang Qiu closed his eyes and rested for a while. When he opened his eyes, the plane just landed at the airport in the capital.
“Beep.”
As soon as he got off the plane…
Fang Qiu received a text message.
He clicked on it — five million yuan had been transferred into his bank account!
At the same time, a text message came from Director Chen Xiaogang: five million yuan, the remuneration for you. It’s not much. Please kindly accept it.”
“Have you paid the tax?”
Fang Qiu replied with a text message.
“Rest assured. It was paid.”
Director Chen Xiaogang sent a reply.
“Thank you.”
Fang Qiu replied before putting away his phone.
At this time…
It was already one o’clock at night.
After getting the air ticket, Fang Qiu found an empty corner in the airport’s departure lounge. There, he closed his eyes and continued to rest.
After more than two hours of sleep, Fang Qiu woke up. However, he didn’t open his eyes. Instead, he sat silently, urged the internal Qi to move in his body, and began cultivating.
Until six o’clock in the morning…
The sun had just risen, and the sky was turning white.
Fang Qiu opened his eyes and walked out of the hall to call He Xue.
“Hello?”
He Xue answered the phone.
“I’m already at the capital airport. Please take care of the company and the foundation.”
Fang Qiu said directly.
“No problem.”
He Xue said with a smile, “Now, so many people have come to help. With them here, I don’t have to worry too much. Be at ease.”
“You should pay more attention to it.”
Fang Qiu nodded and said, “The medicine is of great importance. We can’t lower our guard just because we have enough people. Later on, we will reap and process indigenous medicinal herbs. Flawless testing should be done. There can’t be any quality problems, and we must ensure the clinics always have medicine to prescribe.”
“Just feel free to be a great national hero. I’ll take care of everything here.”
He Xue said.
“Alright.”
Fang Qiu nodded with a smile and said, “Thank you for your hard work.”
After that…
He hung up the phone.
Then, he called Jiang Miaoyu.
“You’re leaving?”
As soon as the phone was connected, Jiang Miaoyu asked.
“Mm.”
Fang Qiu replied, “I was going to come back and say goodbye to you yesterday, but Director Chen Xiaogang dragged me to shoot the film for a whole day. That was why I rushed to the capital airport overnight. I’m going to board the plane soon. In such a hurry, I can’t say goodbye to you in person. You won’t be angry, will you?”
“It’s fine.”
Jiang Miaoyu said considerately, “You’re busy, and so am I. If you want to say goodbye to me, you have to see if I’m free. I have a job now.”
“Uh…”
Fang Qiu gave a wry smile and said, “I’m glad you’re not upset.”
“Don’t worry.”
Jiang Miaoyu said with a smile, “Set your mind at rest. I’ll wait for your good news at home.”
“Alright.”
Fang Qiu answered.
As he hung up the phone, a text message notification sounded.
He clicked on it and took a look.
It was a text message from Jiang Mengjie.
It was a short message with just four words: Have a safe trip!
“Thank you.”
Fang Qiu replied.
Then he took the boarding pass, passed the security checkpoint, and boarded the plane.
At eight o’clock in the morning…
The plane took off on time without delay.
After a night’s rest, Fang Qiu didn’t continue to sleep or rest on the plane. He planned to take the opportunity to cultivate and keep himself in the best state.
But unexpectedly…
At the security check, he had to take off his mask and hat. Because of this, he attracted many people’s attention. As soon as the plane entered the stable flight period, some people came over and asked for autographs and photos.
Helplessly…
The stewardess could only report this situation and upgrade Fang Qiu’s cabin.
Finally, they stopped most people from asking for autographs and photos.
The passengers could no longer ask for autographs and photos, but these stewardesses came. They came one by one and spoke softly, not daring to disturb others.
Facing this situation, Fang Qiu had to give them what they wanted. Fortunately, there were not many stewardesses.
In less than ten minutes, he finished this unexpected task and began cultivating with his eyes closed.
