Chapter 287 Hardworking Ning Hao

When He Daqi watched Zhou Huimin recording her album, he thought it was very easy. It took about a week to record a dozen songs, and it was like she was having fun every day.

Now it was He Daqi's turn, and he realized the difficulty. He hadn't even finished recording the first half of a song in a whole day. Judging from the tuner's expression, it was very likely that he wanted He Daqi to re-record the first half that he had barely passed before.

At this moment, outside the recording studio, Zhou Huimin and Liu Ying were sitting on the stools with their legs crossed, looking at He Daqi inside.

Zhou Huimin was too familiar with He Daqi. Although He Daqi was smiling now and still had a smiling look on his face, Zhou Huimin could still see a hint of impatience in He Daqi's eyes through the glass of the recording studio.

In fact, it was beyond Zhou Huimin's expectation that the recording would turn out like this today. Too much is as bad as too little, so when the tuner wanted to ask He Daqi to record it again, Zhou Huimin interrupted him with a smile.

"Let's stop here for today. Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Qian."

Hearing this, the tuner was reluctant to give up and advised, "I feel that Daqi has found his form somewhat. Two more takes should be enough. Stopping now would be a waste of all our efforts. We should persevere a little longer."

"No need, just take your time. He's pretty free these days. If one day doesn't work, try two days. If two days don't work, try a week. As long as we can record it before February, it'll be fine."

After Zhou Huimin finished speaking, she stood up, knocked on the glass, mouthed something to He Daqi, and then pointed to the door.

He Daqi put down his headphones, pushed the door open with some confusion, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my singing that's too out of tune? Why didn't you let Teacher Qian tell me through the headset, and why did you have to come out and talk to me alone?"

"You've been recording for almost the entire day, take a break. Didn't you say last time that you'd take me to eat fish head and pancakes? We should leave early, so why not go try it today?"

Zhou Huimin came over with a smile and hugged He Daqi's arm, just like a little woman acting coquettishly, and shook it gently twice. This shook He Daqi so much that he smiled and immediately nodded in agreement.

What a pity, I didn’t get to eat the fish head pancake.

From the moment they got in the nanny car, He Daqi began to vividly describe the delicious food he had eaten in Beijing. Perhaps his description was too appetizing, or perhaps it was because Zhou Huimin didn't eat much at noon, but as He Daqi introduced it, Zhou Huimin swallowed several times.

"Daqi, how about we try the stewed beef you just mentioned? Is there a restaurant nearby that serves it?"

He Daqi turned his head to look out the window, estimated the location, nodded and said, "Yes, it's quite close to Niujie. There's a restaurant over there that cooks halal food quite properly."

"Then go over there and try it first."

Zhou Huimin pursed her lips with the tip of her tongue, then gave an order to Bai Wei who was driving. The nanny car turned at the intersection and headed towards Niujie.

It was not yet five o'clock in the afternoon and there were not many pedestrians on the road.

He Daqi led Zhou Huimin out of the car and into the restaurant, finding a secluded corner. As soon as they sat down, the waiter came over with the menu: "Take a look at what you two would like to eat."

Zhou Huimin looked through the menu with great interest, while He Daqi started to read out the dishes without even looking at them.

"Braised beef, braised pork strips, the braised pork strips should be lamb, spicy tofu, fried crispy noodles, stir-fried shrimp, and vinegar-fried alfalfa. Also, two bottles of beer, a bottle of soda, and a bowl of rice."

"Okay, wait a minute, you two."

The waitress responded and took a pen to write on the order form. When she finished, she saw that Zhou Huimin was still flipping the menu with interest, so she didn't take the menu and turned to walk towards the bar.

After the waiter left, Zhou Huimin quickly patted He Daqi's hand, moved the menu forward and said, "Please point out what dishes you just ordered. You spoke too quickly and I turned to the braised beef."

He Daqi smiled gently and introduced the dishes on the menu to Zhou Huimin one by one.

Zhou Huimin's eyes narrowed like a pair of crescent moons. At first, her gaze was moving between He Daqi and the menu, but gradually she stopped looking at the menu, and stared at He Daqi's handsome face with her chin in her hand and a smile on her face without moving.

Time seemed to have lost its precision, becoming fast and slow. In He Daqi's whispers, Zhou Huimin's mouth corners curled up slightly, and she was immersed in it, unable to extricate herself.

……

……

Only a few leaves were left on the big trees by the roadside.

A breeze blew, and a originally stubborn dead leaf finally gave up its resistance and slowly fell from the tree.

Perhaps it was bad fate. As soon as the dead leaf fell to the ground, a nanny car drove past quickly. The rubber tires crushed the two brothers of the dead leaf. The extremely fast airflow made the dead leaf, which was originally lying flat, stand up and spin again.

In the nanny car, He Daqi, who had just finished rehearsing, sat alone in the back seat and did not wait for Zhou Huimin to leave together.

Ning Hao called last night and said that his new film Green Grassland had been edited, and he insisted that He Daqi come over today to review it.

There was no other way. After much thought, He Daqi decided to finish the rehearsal in the morning and wait for Zhou Huimin to make time. He had an appointment to record a song in the afternoon. He Daqi was in good shape these two days, so he didn't want to postpone the recording appointment.

At this moment he was humming a tune softly in the back seat, trying to maintain his composure.

When the car arrived at the Yonghui Qiming underground garage, He Daqi put his hands in the pockets of his down jacket, and like a swaying peacock, he took small and quick steps and ran towards the elevator.

White mist emerged from his mouth and nose and was quickly left behind as he ran.

It was not until he took the elevator to the third floor that he took his hands out of his pockets. He smiled and nodded to the employees who greeted him. With a casual glance, he saw Ning Hao surrounded by Lao Tian and two teachers from Beijing Film Academy in front of the computer.

He Daqi walked over quickly, greeted Lao Tian and the other three, then put his hand on Ning Hao's shoulder and asked with a smile, "Brother, you've only been back a few days, right? You've already finished editing the movie?"

"We didn't shoot a lot of extra footage back then, and this film doesn't have any special effects, so we'll just come back and edit it and do the dubbing. It won't take long. You came just in time, it just started playing. I'll go to the beginning and let you watch it from the beginning."

After Ning Hao explained, he dragged the play bar forward, then sat down and moved his chair back so that He Daqi could see more clearly.

Lao Tian and the others didn't say anything, they just watched it again, but the mind that was originally thinking about the plot was now used to ponder the language of the camera.

"The scenery on the grassland is really beautiful." He Daqi sighed after looking for a while. Feeling a little tired of standing, he picked up a wheelchair and sat down.

No one responded to him, and everyone watched the film with different thoughts.

As the film reached its final scene, a little boy pushed open the door of the table tennis practice room. Amid the sound of ping-pong balls hitting each other, Ning Hao turned to look at He Daqi and asked, "Do you think my movie can be released in theaters?"

He Daqi almost blurted out "Are you having hysterics?", but swallowed the words back and just looked at Ning Hao with a half-smile. "Okay, you don't have to say it, I know your answer." Ning Hao rubbed his brow.

"Haozi, this movie is quite good. You can try to submit more entries for foreign film awards, starting with the Golden Bear Award next month. Your school can recommend you, so we can send you the nomination directly." Old Tian patted Ning Hao's shoulder with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Thank you, teacher."

Ning Hao quickly stood up, nodded and said thank you, then began to discuss with Lao Tian how to submit the film to the film festival.

While Lao Tian and the other three teachers continued to work on the post-production of Xiao Yu'er and Hua Wu Que, Ning Hao sat down again and patted He Daqi, who was daydreaming. "Daqi, do you think this movie of mine can be sold to the movie channels of major TV stations?"

"Brother, you're being too picky. This should obviously be sold to a children's channel."

"Ah? ...That's right." Ning Hao was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement. He then asked a little embarrassedly, "Daqi, can you help me again? I know Yonghui Qiming has channels on the children's channels of major satellite TV stations."

Oh my god, you were waiting here.

He Daqi thought for a moment and agreed: "Okay, I'll ask someone to help you ask, it's not a big deal."

Hearing He Daqi's agreement, Ning Hao smiled and asked again, "Daqi, I'm going to start preparing for your Crazy Stone. I'll contact you in a couple of days. Do you think you should invest personally or let Yonghui Qiming do it?"

He Daqi was instantly amused, waving his hands and saying, "No, what do you mean by that Crazy Stone movie of mine? Don't bring me into this. I just wrote a script for you. Good fellow! Brother, you're not planning on letting me be the lead actor, are you?"

Fortunately, Ning Hao didn't go crazy to such an extent. He still knew what He Daqi's price was. Seeing He Daqi's non-stick pan posture, he chuckled and said with a smile:

"Even if you were the lead, I couldn't afford you. I was thinking if you could make a cameo appearance, playing Mike from Hong Kong. This movie will definitely be released in theaters, right? I could use your traffic to get some of it, since you invested in it anyway."

"I won't invest. Let Yonghui Qiming do it. I'll just use the script and guest appearance to get a share of the box office profits. You can discuss the details with Sister Liu later. When you promote it, you can just say that I wrote the script and I have a subversive guest appearance in it. That should be enough for you."

After He Daqi finished speaking, he took out his cell phone and called Liu Ying.

At this time, Zhou Huimin had also finished rehearsing and was coming out of the Central Bank Building. After hearing He Daqi's call to Liu Ying, she took a car directly to Yonghui Qiming.

After half an hour.

Zhou Huimin pushed open the door of her office and saw He Daqi sitting in her boss chair playing with his mobile phone. He didn't look up even when he heard the door open. Zhou Huimin came over with a smile and put her cold little hand into He Daqi's collar.

“Hiss~~~~~~~”

He Daqi shrank his neck and shuddered. He grabbed the happy Zhou Huimin, pressed her on the table regardless of her struggle, and then slapped her twice.

"I'm going to fight you!" Zhou Huimin's face flushed with anger. After rubbing her butt, she came over with her teeth bared and was about to tear He Daqi apart.

She was so angry that she forgot how she had been abused just now. She was like a lamb to the slaughter, with He Daqi holding her wrist with one hand and pulling her face with the other.

She wanted to bite He Daqi, but He Daqi nimbly pulled his hand away and dodged. Looking at the smug He Daqi, Zhou Huimin howled like a defeated dog: "Don't give me the chance!"

"Ouch! I'm so scared!"

He Daqi winked and said something to show his cowardice, then pinched Zhou Huimin's cheek and pulled it.

Bang bang bang!
There was a knock on the door.

He Daqi let go of Zhou Huimin and trotted over to open the door, not giving Zhou Huimin a chance to retaliate against him.

"Daqi, please take a look at this contract to see if there is any problem. The dividend is 10% as you requested."

When Wu Nannan entered the room, she first glanced at Zhou Huimin. Seeing Zhou Huimin sitting in the boss chair with a sullen look on her face, she guessed that it must be because Zhou Huimin had not made trouble for He Daqi just now. So she chuckled and handed the contract in her hand to He Daqi for him to take a look.

"Sister Wu, how much are you going to invest in Ning Hao?" He Daqi didn't rush to look at the contract, but asked about the investment amount of Crazy Stone.

"On the way here just now, Miss Zhou mentioned that she plans to invest 7 million yuan, and the payment will be made in three installments to prevent Ning Hao from spending more than the budget. In addition, I will go with him as the supervisor."

"Is that so..." He Daqi nodded slightly, didn't say anything else, took the contract and started reading it.

The contract drafted by his own company would definitely not cheat He Daqi. It didn't have many requirements, but it had a lot of rights and interests, and even gave him 20% of the film copyright.

It was only one page of paper, and He Daqi finished reading it in a short time. He felt there was no problem, so he signed his name on it directly.

After he handed the contract to Wu Nannan and walked her to the door and closed it, before he could turn the lock, a soft and delicate body jumped onto his back.

Then Zhou Huimin bit his ear, not with much force, but with more threat.

"Do you believe that I will bite off your ear?" Zhou Huimin asked vaguely.

"I believe it, of course I believe it, I'm convinced, I surrender." He Daqi said with a smile.

"Look at Ning Hao. He started preparing for a new movie right after finishing post-production. He is also busy submitting his previous movie to film festivals. He is busy all year round. Look at you. Can't you focus on your career?" Zhou Huimin's tone was full of disappointment.

He Daqi happily lifted Zhou Huimin's thigh up, then carried her on his back and walked around the office while chatting nonsense.

"I also think I'm a bit too lazy. How about this? After the release of "Miracle in Room 7" and the roadshow, I'll fly straight to Korea and help with the production of "Han River Host" there. I won't be back all year. No, after Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" starts filming, I'll come back and make a cameo appearance for a few days. Apart from these few days, I'll stay in Korea all year. What do you think?"

"you dare!!!"

"Look, you're anxious again. You're the one who said I was lazy. Now that I'm motivated, you're not happy. It's so hard! It's so hard for me! What do you want from me?"

He Daqi was a little too cocky and forgot his current situation. After Zhou Huimin hugged his neck tightly and bit his ear with a little force, it was too late for him to beg for mercy.

Fortunately, Zhou Huimin knew what was going on and was afraid that He Daqi’s ear would be broken, so she gave him a little lesson and then let him go.

"Just wait, I will definitely bite you back tonight." He Daqi muttered to himself.
