Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 644 Becoming a Mother

After chatting for a long time, Xu Liyun was finally calmed down, but she was destined not to sleep tonight.

Even after hanging up the phone, she was still pacing back and forth in the room, feeling very excited, wondering in her mind whether it was a boy or a girl?
What should I name my newborn? I think about my son's childhood, the future, my husband, and so on.

After thinking for a long time, I said "Ouch" and went to pack my luggage as if I had forgotten something.

I'm planning to visit my son and daughter-in-law tomorrow.

After Fang Hong hung up the phone, he immediately supported Liu Tianxian's shoulders, motioned for her to sit on the bed, and said with concern: "Don't get tired, sit down quickly."

"I'm not that squeamish." Liu Tianxian said.

"You are the most precious thing now. You must be careful at all times and not get bumped." Fang Hong was cautious and helped her sit on the bed.

"Oh...why don't I usually see you being so nice to me?" Liu Tianxian teased, really enjoying his service.

"Who said that? I usually listen to you." Fang Hong sat opposite her on the bed and touched her belly through her clothes.

His hands were very light, gentle and careful, for fear of hurting her!
The main reason is that this is the first time I've become a father in this life, and I feel very excited. Ordinary people generally cannot understand the joy of being a father.

Liu Tianxian was also moved and expectant, looking forward to that little life.

"Can I listen to it?" Fang Hong's voice was delicate.

"It hasn't taken shape yet, there's no movement." Liu Tianxian also said softly.

"Then I want to listen to it, too." Fang Hong was very interested. He felt inexplicably excited when he thought about becoming a father.

"Ok!"

Liu Tianxian nodded slightly so as not to spoil his fun.

Fang Hong lifted her clothes, revealing her flat and smooth belly, then leaned over and put one ear on her belly.

He just listened quietly to the sounds in her stomach. In fact, he didn't hear anything, but Fang Hong still listened very attentively, as if he could really hear it.

"Wife, you are really amazing," he said.

"Whatever you heard, just say I'm awesome." Liu Tianxian said.

"I didn't hear anything, but I just felt that you were amazing. You actually formed a Nascent Soul." Fang Hong sighed.

Liu Tianxian smiled, still remembering the joke between the two, she said: "You are also very powerful, I was able to form a Nascent Soul thanks to your continuous output."

"That's right. You always say I'm not accurate, but now it's accurate. Very accurate." Fang Hong was proud.

Liu Tianxian patted his head and laughed. She had not been able to get pregnant before, so she teased the man and asked him if he was wrong.

The two of them drove in a serious manner without warning. Liu Tianxian gently stroked his head and said gently, "Husband, will you protect our child well?"

"Of course I will protect you, our children, and our family." Fang Hong said with certainty.

"Don't tell anyone outside about my pregnancy. Don't let anyone know. I want him to grow up undisturbed." Liu Tianxian put her hands in his hair and combed it back.

"I will protect him." Fang Hong understood.

We can't let too many people outside know about this. If we don't keep our mouth shut, it will easily leak out. If it does leak out, public opinion will cause a lot of trouble.

During the growth stage of children, there will definitely be various harassments.

“Don’t tell the crew. If they knew, they would definitely feel uncomfortable and it would be difficult to shoot the show.” Liu Tianxian said again.

If everyone in the crew knew that she was pregnant, they would definitely be very cautious, worried that she would be tired or hurt, and would not be able to treat her as naturally as usual.

This will delay the shooting and the construction period.

"If my mother comes, they will definitely know. We can't hide it." Fang Hong just listened quietly and didn't stand up.

His mother came to the crew and was so diligent and caring every day. The crew members would definitely guess that Liu Tianxian was pregnant.

Otherwise, it would be too strange if the principal's biological mother showed up!
"Ok!"

Liu Tianxian also knew about this situation, but it was such kindness from their closest relatives that they couldn't refuse, so they could only try their best to keep the news secret.

We are afraid that this matter will be exposed. If it is exposed, public opinion will definitely explode.

Fang Hong stood up, looked at her seriously and said, "Have you ever thought about waiting until you give birth before filming?"

"I'm filming after giving birth?" Liu Tianxian didn't understand.

"Well, just put the filming on hold until you have given birth and recovered before filming again." Fang Hong said.

"What you mean is, let's not shoot for now, and let everyone and the team wait for me. We can start shooting after I give birth and finish my confinement?" Liu Tianxian repeated his words, trying to understand.

"Yes, that's what I mean." Fang Hong nodded.

"We've been preparing for so long, how are we going to pay the salaries for so many people?" Liu Tianxian felt it was a bit unrealistic.

With so much manpower and resources, coordinating the filming location and actors, they just don't want to shoot. This is too willful.

This wait lasted almost a year. Many things won’t wait for you, like actors.

"It's okay, I'll pay them. When you get better and start filming again, I'll pay them again." Fang Hong negotiated.

It's like getting paid twice for one play.

If you don't shoot it and wait until the next time, you will have to pay the actors again next time.

Because they have already cleared their schedule for this drama, which means that while you are shooting for two months, they will have no income for those two months.

Regardless of whether the film is shot or not, the remuneration must be paid.

The next time you shoot, it will be equivalent to getting paid again for the new movie.

This is just for the actors. The situation is the same behind the scenes, including the coordination of materials and venues.

In other words, if the film is not shot this time, at least $1 of the $ million budget will be thrown into the water.

Next time we want to shoot, we will have to organize the manpower and material resources again.

However, with Fang Hong's current strength, he can afford to do this, but the top management will be a little dissatisfied.

Who would feel comfortable losing hundreds of millions for no reason? They will even get less profit.

"This won't work. We've been preparing for so long, and so many people are looking forward to the filming. How can we do this?" Liu Tianxian shook her head.

"It's okay, I can handle it." Fang Hong said.

Liu Tianxian stepped forward, put her hands on his shoulders and said, "I know you are good to me, but you can't do this. It's too willful, you know."

Fang Hong remained silent. In fact, he had guessed that Liu Tianxian would not agree.
Like his mother, he believes that children are important and has traditional feelings about his children.

"I'm fine. Just let me finish filming this scene and don't tell anyone." Liu Tianxian thought he was afraid of people knowing.

"I'm worried that you might get hurt or have an accident." Fang Hong said.

"No, I will give birth to him safely, don't worry." Liu Tianxian stroked her belly with a maternal glow.

Then she said again: "Some other people do heavy work and exercise when they are pregnant, and some even do splits. I am not that squeamish."

"Splits? Who does splits while pregnant?" Fang Hong was puzzled.

"I don't know. I've seen some pregnant women who were very active and even doing splits in the gym. Their bellies were so big and they were very energetic. I'm just filming a movie, not doing any heavy work, so what's the big deal?" Liu Tianxian said.

"Oh!" Fang Hong nodded.

I thought she was talking about Zhao Xiaodao, but it was still too early for Zhao Xiaodao.

"Okay, don't think too much. I'm fine. Call my mother and tell her about it." Seeing that he was no longer hesitant, Liu Tianxian handed him the phone.

I also know that I am discussing it with him.

Fang Hong didn't talk about that topic anymore, but just tried to discuss it. He took the phone and called Liu Xiaoli.

At this time, Liu Xiaoli was practicing indoor dance with light steps and graceful posture. She would practice dance when she had nothing to do and also participate in some dance parties.

So she has a lot of wealthy lady friends, unlike Xu Liyun who just likes watching TV.

Hearing the phone ring, Liu Xiaoli walked over, picked up the phone and said, "Hey, Xiaofang, have you finished filming?"

Actually, it’s not too late at this time, a little after nine o’clock.

"The shoot is over, we are all fine."

Fang Hong paused, then said, "Mom, I have some news for you."

"Go ahead and talk. I'm listening." Liu Xiaoli wiped the sweat off her forehead.

"Xixi is pregnant." Fang Hong said.

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoli paused while wiping her sweat, and asked with some joy, "Really?"

"Really? It was just confirmed." Fang Hong said.

"Have you seen a doctor?" Liu Xiaoli was still relatively rational.

"Not yet." Fang Hong said.

"Then we need to see a doctor. Well...I'll take care of it. I'll go to your place tomorrow. You're a grown man and you don't really understand these things." Liu Xiaoli felt that Fang Hong didn't understand, so it would be better for her to take care of him.

After all, she has been through it and is an experienced person.

Liu Tianxian was also listening nearby. When she heard her mother say she was coming over, she felt a bit excited and said, "Are you coming too? My mother-in-law just said she was coming over. I think it would be fine if only one person came!" "It wouldn't be convenient for her to go so far, and she wouldn't know how to handle public relations. If the news gets leaked, it won't be good for the crew or for you." Liu Xiaoli was worried.

This has just happened at the beginning and the impact will be huge. Once it is exposed by the media, it will definitely be nonsense.

"The child is someone else's?"

"Isn't the child the principal's?"

This is another conspiracy theory, a lot of dark nonsense, which might affect her daughter's mood. The mood of a pregnant woman is very important.

She had deeply experienced the harm her daughter suffered from public opinion and did not want her grandson to go through the same experience.

"I just discussed this with Fang Hong, and I am a little worried about this as well." Liu Tianxian said.

In fact, it would be best if her mother came, and she wouldn’t be afraid of people knowing, after all, her mother often followed the group in the past.

Even if she feels uncomfortable, vomits, or has nausea, her mother can help cover it up and deal with emergencies.

Xu Liyun was unable to deal with these things, nor did she have the awareness to deal with them, because she did not understand the dangers of the entertainment industry or the situation in the entertainment industry.

"Then I'll go talk to her and ask her to stay at home. I'll come and take care of you. Don't worry too much." Liu Xiaoli took charge of the matter.

"Can you make sense of it?" Liu Tianxian asked doubtfully.

"Of course. When have I, your mother, ever let you down?" Liu Xiaoli said confidently.

"Mom, you are the best." Liu Tianxian said with a smile.

"Focus on filming and take care of your health. Don't be as rushing around as usual. You're a mother now," Liu Xiaoli advised.

"What's wrong with being a mother? It's your baby too." Liu Tianxian and her mother felt much more relaxed.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and then Liu Xiaoli hung up the phone. After hanging up, she held the phone and thought for a while.

Then he went back to his room, changed his clothes, and went straight to Xu Liyun, fearing that it would be too late if he went there tomorrow.

Xu Liyun was still packing her luggage. When she heard that her mother-in-law was coming, she hurried out to greet her. It was a good opportunity for her to find someone to talk to and ease the throbbing in her heart.

She hadn't calmed down yet.

Liu Xiaoli was also smiling and had a long chat with her.

After the two men reported to their two mothers, they lay down together. Fang Hong seemed not to have heard enough, so he lay on Liu Tianxian's belly and listened.

"Not yet. How many times a day do you listen to it?" Liu Tianxian lifted his head.

"I seem to hear a sound, cooing, as if it's calling me dad." Fang Hong said.

"Nonsense, that's my stomach growling. Go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow." Liu Tianxian lifted his head and covered him with a blanket.

That was the "gurgling" sound of her intestines moving.

Tomorrow they will have to join the crew to put on makeup and shoot before dawn, and will continue until seven or eight in the afternoon. It will be very tiring.

Because it gets dark late here, around seven or eight o'clock.

Fang Hong also knew that it hadn’t taken shape yet, he was just curious and looking forward to it.

He moved closer to Liu Tianxian, who looked at him and stroked his face with both hands.

"No, we can't do that." Fang Hong was about to kiss her when he stopped and lay beside her, gently stroking Liu Tianxian's belly.

"Kissing is still okay." Liu Tianxian said.

"What if we can't control it?" Fang Hong said.

"Tell me about yourself!" Liu Tianxian hit him.

"Hehehe, yes."

"."

The next day, the crew continued filming as usual, Liu Tianxian also joined the crew as usual, and everything was normal.

It's just that Fang Hong paid more attention and looked for a substitute for Liu Tianxian. He already had one, but there was no action scene in this play, so he didn't plan to use it.

But Liu Tianxian suddenly became pregnant, so she was still arranged to play the role. Liu Tianxian had no objection as she only wanted to play literary roles.

What they are going to shoot now is an explosion scene, where the liquid water is ignited successfully, causing the hydrazine to explode, blowing the protagonist away and falling to the ground.

This part definitely needs a stand-in.

The crew set up the scene, which was like a greenhouse vegetable scene. After all, with the efforts of the protagonist, the scene was constantly changing.

Shen Ao brought a girl over and pointed at her, "Principal, do you think she can do it? She was the champion of the cheerleading exhibition competition before, but she has never acted in a play and has no experience."

He received instructions from the principal to find a stand-in last night, and he didn't suspect anything. One would be suspicious if an actor like Liu Tianxian didn't use a stand-in.

The girl pursed her lips, looking very embarrassed and nervous.

Fang Hong looked the girl up and down. Her figure was similar to Liu Tianxian's, and she looked somewhat like her.

"What's your name?" he asked.

"Zeng Yi!" Zeng Yi's voice trembled a little, as if he was a little afraid of the person in front of him.

"Okay then, it's you." Fang Hong made the decision.

It’s hard to find a substitute at the moment, so it’s good enough to find this one. He doesn’t show his face, so it’s enough if he has a similar figure.

Zeng Yi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that he was accepted!
At this time, the crew had already prepared the scene. Fang Hong led Zeng Yi to Liu Tianxian and said, "After the fire is successfully lit, you step back two steps and cheer, and then she goes up."

"Sure!" Liu Tianxian glanced at the girl and smiled gently.

Zeng Yi seemed to feel the warmth and couldn't help but be infected.

"This will explode with a bang in a moment. Just turn your body to this side and face your back to the camera. Do you understand?" Fang Hong pointed at the equipment and then at the camera.

"I understand!" Zeng Yi nodded.

"Props, the explosion is not dangerous!" Fang Hong said to the props again.

"Cold flames are not dangerous and will not burn people." said the prop.

"Okay, get ready." Fang Hong instructed.

Under the instructions of the on-site staff, Zeng Yi changed her clothes into the same costume as Liu Tianxian, and also put on a small wire device.

After all, she would be flying a bit later, and the place where she fell had been treated so that no one would be hurt.

Liu Tianxian had already started to perform. In front of the device for making liquid water, she took two steps back, stretched out her arms and cheered: "Oh!"

"Click! On the substitute." Fang Hong shouted.

Zeng Yi hurried onto the stage and went to the position where Liu Tianxian had just stood, performing the same movements as Liu Tianxian.

But she was still a little scared in her heart and her body was shaking a little.

"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt anyone. Just act as if you were blown away, and don't face the camera." Fang Hong comforted him.

Signal the prop master to fry it directly.

Before Zeng Yi could react, she heard a loud "bang!" and flames rushed up. She was dragged and pushed backwards subconsciously, and soon "hit" the designated position.

But she didn't feel any pain. She just felt the ground was soft and not very hard, but her heart was pounding.

Fang Hong, Liu Tianxian and others quickly stepped forward and helped her up. Liu Tianxian asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Zeng Yi stood up and felt no pain in his body.

She was completely passive just now and did nothing.

"It's very simple. Just follow the movements you made just now. You just need to act like you were blown up, then turn over and face your back to the camera." Fang Hong gestured with his body twisted.

Just now he was just letting this guy get used to it, after all, he had never acted in a play before.

"I understand. I can act." Zeng Yi tried it once and felt less scared.

I was afraid just now because I didn’t know what I would face, but now I’m not afraid anymore.

"Okay, do it again."

"."

We only had to shoot this scene seven or eight times to get it done. It wasn't a very difficult scene.

The explosive plot just now was caused by the oxygen exhaled by Liu Tianxian. As long as he put on the helmet and was fully armed, the experiment would be successful and liquid water would be produced.

Just when the crew was filming normally and Liu Tianxian and Fang Hong were sitting together for dinner in the afternoon, Liu Xiaoli rushed over.

She first took a plane, as flights from Beijing to Hami were opened the year before last, and then she came by off-road vehicle.

Liu Xiaoli wore sunglasses, carried a bag, and wore a floral dress, but her demeanor was still elegant and gentle, with a kind of feminine beauty.

There is always a gentle smile on her face, which is a beautiful sight here.

Her arrival did not surprise anyone, because everyone knew her and she had followed the group from time to time before.

If it was the principal's mother who came, that would be surprising and sudden.
