Chapter 561 Family status is clear at a glance
This weekend after returning to Taojia Village, the rapeseed flowers in the fields were blooming more abundantly. Liu Wangxue took the time to play with the three little ones and several other children for most of the day. , and took some videos by the way, cut them and uploaded them to his account, and also sent them to Wang Junpeng for promotional purposes.
She was away last weekend, and Xu Qingsong worked an extra day and went to Beijing on Sunday. It was only after they came back that they heard from Gu Xuelan and Liu Nanshan that the publicity was effective, especially on Sunday. , a lot of tourists came, mostly family tours.
This weekend, Liu Wangxue witnessed the "effect" with her own eyes. Different from last week, there were quite a lot of people this Saturday and Sunday. There were family tours of three generations, young couples and couples, and groups of friends.
Liu Wangxue was recognized when she went out with the children with her three little ones. During the chat, she learned that many of them came from the urban area of this city, and many of them came from several nearby cities. Yes, there are even people from other provinces coming to play.
The common saying is that the popular spots for viewing rapeseed flowers on the Internet are all overcrowded. There are few people here and the place is wide. Except for the fact that there are no mountains and no clouds and mist, the scenery is similar. It’s all about taking pictures anyway. As long as you can make a film, where can’t you take pictures?
Wang Junpeng has been mobilizing the villagers to prepare for the upcoming tourists. Everyone in the village cooperates and everything is maintained in order.
Many grandparents in the village know some crafts, such as straw weaving, rope weaving, cotton rope embroidery, and bamboo weaving. Some people also learned woodworking from Xu Qingsong’s second grandfather in the past, and some of the small wood carvings he made are quite good. Good looking. Wang Junpeng had already started mobilizing them to make some. He set up a small stall in front of his home to sell them, and he could earn a handicraft fee to support his family.
Tao Huayu also came back on the weekend, and helped his family set up a stall at the door, selling cookies, cakes, etc., as well as some drinks.
As soon as the sky clears, the temperature rises, especially at noon when it is the hottest. Other houses also cook some mung bean soup, sour plum soup and other drinks and sell them at the door, and there are also some homemade ones. snack.
Everything is priced uniformly and clearly marked. This is what Wang Junpeng has agreed with the villagers in advance. After all, long-term development requires a good reputation, and there can be no rip-offs.
After nearly half a month, the script of "Moon Halo Effect" was finally completed. On April 15th, Liu Wangxue left for Haishi, and the crew was about to start casting.
During this period, Xu Qingsong also asked Liu Wangxue about Liu Wangxue's preference for wedding clothes, seemingly inadvertently, on many occasions. Liu Wangxue pretended to be confused, but Xu Qingsong asked her casually, and she answered casually. Her acting was so natural that Xu Qingsong didn't notice at all.
Xu Qingsong took the three little ones with him to the airport. Both the pet and the pet were very reluctant to part with him. Fortunately, it wasn't too far away, so Xu Qingsong made up his mind to visit her when he had time on the weekend. In addition, there were still a few days of rest after the casting, so Liu Wangxue could still come back.
After arriving at Haishi, all the work started non-stop.
Meng Luoqiu is different from Jing Yujun. She is not a contracted director of Junxi Entertainment and has her own studio. Du Yunxiang understood her personality and work attitude and gave her great authority, so the casting for this drama was open to the outside world from the beginning. This puts pressure directly on the actors of Junxi Entertainment. They not only have to compete with people in the same company, but also with outsiders.
Liu Wangxue previously invited Shen Xun and Ran Anyu to participate in the male and female protagonists of one of the stories. Ran Anyu happily agreed, but Shen Xun had concerns about the male protagonist and did not express his position on the spot.
Because today’s audiences will become more concerned about the actors themselves when watching a drama, and there are many lessons to be learned from the past. Some actors or actresses played villains in dramas, and because of their excellent acting skills, they made the villains so hateful that they were collectively insulted and attacked by netizens. Some actors even suffered from depression because of this.
Shen Xun thought it was too scary and violent, but when he read the script and the complete story, he fell in love with this perverted character. As Ran Anyu said jokingly at the time, this role is not only a challenge, but also an opportunity, an opportunity for his acting career to reach a higher level.
As soon as the casting was announced, Shen Xun came to audition.
Liu Wangxue had already talked with Meng Luoqiu about Shen Xun and Ran Anyu, and Meng Luoqiu also admired these two actors very much. Besides, they had just cooperated with Jing Yujun and Liu Wangxue. As long as Meng Luoqiu asked Jing Yujun a little more, he would know everything about his character and drama.
It’s just that the contrast between these two characters and the actor himself and the roles he has played before is too great. Meng Luoqiu has doubts. She fully respects Liu Wangxue’s opinion, but she did not give an accurate answer. She only said that if If you can, audition first.
Both Shen Xun and Ran Anyu came from a professional background and have been in the industry for more than 20 years. Their abilities are both high and not low. At the audition scene, in order to fulfill Shen Xun's dream of "reconnecting" with Shen Rananyu on the day of the copper pot hot pot meal, Meng Luoqiu chose a clip for the two of them to act together.
Liu Wangxue held a small notebook and sat next to Meng Luoqiu, watching very intently. When Shen Xun's acting skills exploded, he "violated" Ran Anyu with a ferocious and happy expression, which really made her Startled.
She leaned back slightly, and hid behind the calm-looking Meng Luoqiu. After the trial scene was over, she quietly said to Meng Luoqiu: "Director, I suggest you mark the title of the film "Children, please watch with caution" Otherwise, Teacher Shen will most likely become the childhood shadow of this generation of children.”
Meng Luoqiu smiled after hearing this: "This is enough to prove that Teacher Shen's acting skills are extremely proficient."
It is logical that the male and female protagonists of the third story are Shen Xun and Ran Anyu.
Ni Jia also came to audition.
Thanks to the popularity of "Moonrise Spring Stream", she is also familiar to the public as the heroine. A new generation actor with good looks and strength has won a good reputation since her debut.
The finale of "Early Spring Stream" came to an end on March 29, and the ratings reached the first place, surpassing other TV series in the same period by a large margin. Immediately after the finale, several other TV stations purchased the rebroadcast rights, and Shenghai Entertainment also purchased the exclusive online broadcast rights.
Ni Jia's net worth has skyrocketed. The director of the crew she just finished filming was so happy that they were all members of Junxi's own family, so he immediately called her back to join the cast.
After the finale, Ni Jia continued to have drama appointments, but she didn't accept any of them. She was just waiting for the casting of Liu Wangxue's drama. Her agent Li Zhaonan also let her go, and even reminded her overtly and covertly that the current identities and status of the screenwriter and director were there, and the competition for roles must be very high. Since she had a good relationship with Liu Wangxue, it was just a matter of deciding on a role. It's just a matter of one sentence.
Ni Jia didn’t respond. She felt that no matter how good the relationship was, that’s not how it was used. The role was based on strength. Moreover, she had already worked together on a drama, and she knew Liu Wangxue's temperament very well. Not to mention that she couldn't take shortcuts, even if she could, it would be equivalent to ending their friendship in advance.
There is also Meng Luoqiu, Jing Yujun and she studied in the same school, and they have the same attitude towards work. Ni Jia planned to treat her the same as Jing Yujun, sighed, and stopped mentioning it. .
After the audition, Ni Jia successfully got the heroine of the second story. She is young, beautiful and inexperienced. First of all, she fits the role in terms of age.
In addition to Ni Jia, Lou Rui also came to audition. Liu Wangxue joked: "It seems that this drama is going to become an acquaintance game."
Lou Rui was particularly embarrassed. He didn't submit his resume at all. With the mentality of being selected, I just want to gain experience.
Sure enough, after the audition, Meng Luoqiu was obviously not satisfied with it. But he didn't let Lou Rui go, just stared at his face and looked left and right.
It stands to reason that Lou Rui is a top figure in the idol world and has been in the industry for many years. Who hasn’t seen him before, especially those big-name music producers? When he first started working with them, he was like He was frightened, but later his mentality was tempered, but at this moment, Meng Luoqiu was staring at him and his scalp was numb.
Lou Rui trembled inwardly and cast a look at Liu Wangxue asking for help.
Liu Wangxue reassured him. She could probably guess what Meng Luoqiu was thinking, but before she made a decision, she said to Meng Luoqiu: "How about letting him try?"
Meng Luoqiu Luo Qiu turned back to Liu Wangxue and smiled: "Do you know what I am thinking about?"
Liu Wangxue turned the script on his knees to the fourth story and pointed to a paragraph: "He The current look really suits this character."
Meng Luoqiu glanced at Lou Rui again and asked him to try the section pointed by Liu Wangxue, and also called someone. The audition actor that I was more interested in just now was selected to play for him.
The character Liu Wangxue refers to is the younger brother of the male protagonist. He is timid and cowardly, living under the high pressure of his family. A stern look from his parents can make him tremble. He accidentally stumbled upon the scene where the male protagonist was killing his mother and eviscerating her body, and he was so frightened that he was out of his body.
Lou Rui didn't have to show off his acting skills at all, it was already good enough for him to act in his true colors under the pressure of other actors.
Liu Wangxue and Meng Luoqiu laughed at him together. In the end, Meng Luoqiu asked him to go back and wait for news, because there would be a reversal of the role later, and Lou Rui might not be able to grasp it well.
Liu Wangxue also took advantage of the break to mention to Meng Luoqiu the "Song of Shabu-boiled Mutton" written by Lou Rui. The more complete demo was already in her mobile phone, so she plugged in her earphones and asked Meng Luoqiu to Luo Qiu listens.
After listening to it, Meng Luoqiu said it was pretty good and he could consider using it as an interlude.
Towards the end of the month, the weather suddenly got hotter. This weekend, Xu Qingsong brought his three little ones to Haishi to visit Liu Wangxue, and gave her seasonal clothes.
Liu Wangxue didn't want him to come over. He was already busy at work and had to work overtime from time to time. He finally had time on weekends and hoped that he could take more rest.
Xu Qingsong insisted on coming: "Three little ones miss you. The most important thing is that I miss you too. Don't you miss us?"
Think about it, I definitely do, Especially when I was making videos at night, I thought about it the most. Liu Wangxue no longer refused and admitted it generously.
With three little ones, we had to drive by ourselves. Xu Qingsong set off after breakfast and drove for more than four hours.
Liu Wangxue didn't go anywhere all morning, just waiting for them in the hotel. The hotel was the one near Junxi Entertainment. After receiving the news of Xu Qingsong's arrival, Liu Wangxue immediately went out to the underground parking lot and found his car by following Xu Qingsong's location sharing.
Xu Qingsong and his three little ones were already waiting for Liu Wangxue by the car door. When he heard the footsteps, he reacted the fastest and ran towards her, throwing himself into his arms.
Liu Wangxue has neglected to exercise recently, and was thrown back two or three steps by its heavy weight, barely catching it.
The last one to come was Qiu Ni. It has flying skills. Even if it occupies Liu Wangxue's entire embrace, it will not be affected. It still lands on Liu Wangxue's shoulder, rubbing its head against it. She turned her face sideways and spoke the newly learned words: "Xuxu, I miss you! I miss you! I miss you so much!"
Little Fat Ci ran over last and raised his paw to pull at Liu Wangxue's trousers, but Liu Wangxue Wang Xue held the older one in her arms and stood the younger one on her shoulders. She didn't notice the second child at her feet for a moment.
Xiao Ci sighed, she still has to fend for herself! So he took a few steps back and ran back, jumped up and climbed up Bumping's back, stepped on its head and squeezed into Liu Wangxue's arms. Xu Qingsong pulled a large suitcase over. There was also a travel bag and a bag that usually carry three small items when going out. He sighed: "Oh, the family status is clear at a glance. Is there anyone who can give me a hug?" Yeah?”
After having enough fun with Liu Wangxue, Bangpeng got down from her arms, turned around and picked up the traction rope that was dragging on the ground, and let Liu Wangxue hold it for a while.
Evidently she was taught by Xu Qingsong, and she was chanting on Liu Wangxue's shoulder: "Hug the green pine, hug the green pine——"
Liu Wangxue laughed so hard that she wanted to Xiao Ci put it down and hugged Xu Qingsong again, but Fat Ci acted like a coquettish girl and wouldn't let her go. He directly hugged her neck with his two front paws and wouldn't let go no matter what.
Liu Wangxue had no choice but to hold Xiaoci's butt with one hand and use her other arm to hug Xu Qingsong.
Xu Qingsong lowered his head and kissed Liu Wangxue, and then lightly slapped Xiaoci on the head: "For your sake, I won't argue with you for the time being."
Liu Wangxue Praise him: "Mr. Xu is generous!"
"No, no." Xu Qingsong held her in one hand and held the suitcase with her in the other. Let's walk towards the elevator together, "I mean, I will argue with its owner."
Liu Wangxue raised his eyebrows with a bit of a smirk: "Then how do you want to argue?"
br>
Xu Qingsong lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "First I'll make you faint with kisses, and then I'll make you stuffed with sauce..."
Liu Wangxue burst out laughing: "It's so scary——"
Xu Qingsong laughed out loud with her.
The two of them just chatted and walked forward, leaving behind only to touch a dog, waiting eagerly with the leash in their mouths. The dog finally made a sound similar to a sigh, and took steps to follow. Forget it, he'd better hold the leash himself.
It was not convenient to go out to eat with three little ones, so Liu Wangxue called the hotel and asked the hotel to deliver food.
During the meal, Xu Qingsong chatted with her about Richard and said, "He came back yesterday."
Liu Wangxue calculated the time and found that Richard had just returned to country M for a month: "How is it? Is he okay?"
After hearing the news about Richard's family search, he asked Du Yunkai for half a month's leave. After returning home, they kept in touch. Du Yunkai knew the progress of the matter and would mention it to Xu Qingsong when chatting. Liu Wangxue also always cared about it.
The private detective Richard paid a lot of money to hire this time is indeed very powerful. Based on the few clues provided here, it took nearly a month to find Edward Williams, and then he also investigated all his interpersonal relationships.
Edward Williams is now married and has a son and a daughter with his wife. He also has an unmarried sister and a single mother. He is not a resident of Eastern State F, but went to work in State F after graduating from graduate school. After returning to State F after his trip to State T, he was transferred to State M in the middle of the country due to a job transfer.
The orphanage where Richard was born is in this small town in M state.
After Richard arrived in M state, he first went for a paternity test. While waiting for the test results, he stayed with the old man named Susan Williams in the ward for the last time. Susan told him many things, including how he was lost.
When state M banned female abortion, Susan did not dare to go to a black clinic, so she had to give birth out of wedlock. Susan's father thought she was embarrassed, so in order not to affect her future marriage, he and her mother separated the newborn twins and threw them away. With the help of friends, Susan only found the elder brother of the twins. The whereabouts of her younger brother, Richard, were unknown.
Susan searched for another year without success, and the rift with her parents became more and more serious, so she took Edward away, but she did not leave M State because she still wanted to continue looking for the child. A few years later, Susan met her sweetheart and got married and had a child. This child is Edward's current sister. It wasn't until her parents were old and seriously ill that Susan and her husband came back with their children to inherit the property.
Many years have passed, and Susan has been looking for the child who was abandoned by her parents. Her husband also supports her, but she has never found it.
How could it be possible to find it? Communication was not developed at that time, and Susan’s parents never told her where they had left their child. When Richard was five years old, he was adopted by a couple...
Susan, who was almost a handful of bones on the hospital bed, held Richard's hand with her withered hand. The last beam of light made her cloudy eyes look unusually bright. She said to Richard: "I have been looking for you for many, many years. One day I suddenly saw that you have grown up and are living so well. I am really happy for you. Now that I see that you are safe and I can see you before I die, I have no regrets in my life. ”
The results of the paternity test have not yet come out, and Richard’s heart was torn when he faced Susan.
On the one hand, he was worried that Susan had recognized the wrong person, because he and Edward looked nothing alike - of course, this may have a lot to do with the environment, diet, and living habits, but - he might just not know How to respond to Susan's emotions? I can only listen to her quietly with the feeling of sending an old man off for his last journey.
On the other hand, there seemed to be a voice in his ear that kept urging him, telling him that this was his biological mother, and that he should at least call her "Mom" before she died.
Susan smiled and looked at him quietly for a while and said to him: "My child, you must live a good life in the future."
These were the last words Susan said to Richard, and the last words she left in this world.
When Richard got the appraisal report, he didn't dare to open it and read it. In the end, he asked Edward to read it for him.
After Edward finished reading, he hugged him, called him "brother" while crying and laughing, and said, "I know my mother's intuition is not wrong. You may not believe it. About five years ago, my mother saw a game commercial on TV. She recognized you at a glance, and then asked me to go to T state to see you..."
Richard then knew that Edward When I went to T state, I didn’t go on a trip, I went specifically to see him.
At that time, the game that Richard was responsible for developing became an instant hit as soon as it was launched. In order to promote it and also want to "make stars", the company put him and several other key players in the team into the advertisement. Susan saw it so inadvertently.
Richard's voice was hard and he asked Edward: "You went, why didn't you go find me?"
Edward said: "Mom won't disturb you - don't get me wrong, it's not that she doesn't love you, on the contrary, she loves you very much." Love you. You have also seen our family situation. You were already a celebrity at that time, and our family was barely in the middle class. My mother felt guilty for you, and she didn’t want you to think that she was looking for you for your fame and fortune. let It’s enough for me to go take a look and make sure you’re doing well.”
Richard felt as if he was lacking oxygen. He thought that he didn’t care at all how much money he had spent on finding his relatives over the years. This..."
Edward continued: "But later, that is, last year, you encountered a career crisis. My mother and I also saw it on the news. At that time, she was so excited that she fainted, and then we checked Came out with a brain tumor. The first thing she said after she woke up was to ask me to find you. I went, but couldn’t find you. I couldn’t find any news about you anywhere..."
The news report that Edward and Susan saw was During the replay, they learned that Du Yunkai had already contacted Richard. After losing the lawsuit, Richard had almost lost contact with all the people he had known before, so Edward naturally couldn't find out about him.
Susan's condition worsened for a time, and this was also the reason. She was worried all day long, fearing that she would see reports of Richard's suicide in the news again.
After the funeral, Richard seemed to have real feelings, and his grief spread endlessly. He recalled what Susan said. No wonder she said, "One day I suddenly saw you grow up." No wonder she said, "Now I see you are safe." She also told him to "live a good life" before she died.
Seeing Richard's state, Du Yunkai gave him an extra half month's leave to travel and relax, or he could stay in M state and try to get along with his family for a while.
Richard chose the latter and stayed in M state, living in the house that Susan inherited from her parents. Together with Edward's stepfather, he learned a lot about this biological mother whom he had only met once.
As Susan herself said, she never gave up looking for Richard. She would prepare two identical birthday gifts every year, one for Edward and one for him. After recognizing him on TV, I began to pay attention to the gaming industry. I also cut out reports and photos about him from newspapers or magazines and pasted them in my notebook. Each one was filled with blessings for him.
The stepfather is a kind and funny man. He enlightens Richard in his own way and fulfills Susan's wish when she was young. She also takes him to do the meaningful and memorable things she did with little Edward.
In half a month, Richard not only got over his grief, but also became friends with his stepfather.
Xu Qingsong said to Liu Wangxue: "I saw him yesterday and he should be fine. He also talked with everyone about his experiences these days and placed several children's toys on his table, which were given to him by his mother. "It's a birthday gift."
"That's good," Liu Wangxue ordered meat and bones without any added ingredients. He put the heads, fish and shrimps into the small porcelain and Pangpeng bowls and gave them extra meals, saying, "Although there are regrets, it is still satisfactory."
Xu Qingsong stayed here for one night, and the next day I drove back to Taojiacun in the morning and took Liu Wangxue's thick clothes back with me. He said he would bring the three little ones over next week if he had time.
The casting for this drama took a total of one and a half months. With Meng Luoqiu's usual style of doing things, this time it was relatively fast.
When she had three days to spare at the end of May, Liu Wangxue went back to Taojia Village, and then went directly to the filming location.
"Moon Halo Effect" has a total of five stories, each story was shot in a different location.
The first two stories were filmed in Huai City and Hang City, which are closest to Xi City. Xu Qingsong often took three of them to visit the crew on weekends, and sometimes Gu Xuelan and Liu Nanshan also followed. .
The filming locations for the next three stories are relatively far away, and there is no way to go there frequently. The young lovers can only play video games to comfort their lovesickness.
Liu Wangxue originally told Xu Qingsong that the filming would probably last until the end of the year, but the fact is that the Spring Festival is approaching and the filming has not yet been completed, and the "Halo Effect" game will be available for internal testing after the Spring Festival.
