Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager - Chapter 665
2015, early spring.
Not long after the Lunar New Year, the capital was still in the snow and ice.
A snow at the end of February made spring come too late.
In an office building on the West Third Ring Road, the lights on the 6th floor are still on.
Zhao Qian was sitting under the bright light. He was listening to the screenwriter to elaborate on the setting of a climax in the script.
Since the start of this project, this is the ninth script meeting held.
“Last time the director criticized me that the previous suspense was not set up enough and the logic was not strong, so I made some changes and added some points to the issue of how the male protagonist saves himself after the first time in distress…” Screenwriter Also used vivid PPT pictures for explanation.
Zhao Qian participated in the nine script meetings four times. The script was delayed and the play was delayed. The cost would rise, which would affect subsequent production, and then the schedule.
The entire meeting was hosted by the director and two assistant directors. In addition to the two screenwriters and producers, there were also the heads of the props group, and two special effects. Zhao Qian is the chief planner of this play, and he has the ultimate control over it.
Because of some details, an assistant director and the screenwriter started arguing. Both sides held their own opinions and argued fiercely.
It seemed that there was no result in this discussion, and Zhao Qian spoke up at the end of the quarrel.
“This is the last script meeting. I have to finalize the script today. If you can’t make it, don’t leave the meeting. If you have any problems, I will deal with it, and you can’t delay the boot time.
“Boss, you have to express your opinion, we have to listen to what you mean.” The screenwriter looked at Zhao Qian.
Zhao Qian said: “I think it’s all trivial things, but the details of a good movie have to withstand scrutiny. How to catch people is the most important point…” Zhao Qian said that everyone understands the script. He pricked his ears and listened patiently.
When he finished talking about his views, another screenwriter said: “I have come up with another solution…”
Zhao Qian saw his mobile phone flicker, he hurriedly opened it, and there was an unread WeChat message, but he clicked it to see it, but it was Li Wei.
“I got home smoothly, when will you be back?”
Zhao Qian quickly replied: “It’s coming soon.”
The discussion lasted for nearly two hours, and finally the story was completely settled. All the problems were solved. Zhao Qian rubbed his temples and said, “Come here first, and I will revise it within this week. When the good script is delivered to me, when will our lead actress be in place?”
The producer got up and said, “Miss Huang said that she will definitely be able to join the group before next month.”
“Hurry up again, time is running out.”
Zhao Qian ended this meeting, and it was already early in the morning. He returned to the office. The secretary hadn’t got off work yet. He took the jacket from the chair and didn’t put it on immediately. At this time, the director rushed in and asked him about the investment.
“Boss, I’m afraid that the funds are not enough, but a sum of money is needed.”
This hasn’t started yet, Zhao Qian frowned and said, “Producer Lee came back and I asked her what else could be done.”
“Where is Producer Lee back? That’s great.” The director smiled, and the proprietress would be able to do it by sponsoring.
It was almost two o’clock when Zhao Qian returned home, Fu Jia had already entered his dream, the light in the living room was still on, and Li Wei was sitting there watching a movie. She heard the noise and looked back, Zhao Qian finally came back.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“I thought you weren’t coming back, so why are you doing so late? Are you going out to socialize?” Li Wei didn’t hear Zhao Qian being drunk.
“What kind of entertainment, a script meeting, at this time, the script hasn’t been finalized yet, and it almost angered me.”
Zhao Qian poured a glass of water and drank. He glanced at his wife and said, “You have been **** the road. You should rest early.”
“I’m not waiting for you to come back.”
“Did you gain anything from this trip?”
“Guess what.” Li Wei raised his brow.
Zhao Qian put his arms around Li Wei’s shoulders, and said with a smile: “You are so capable, you must be done.”
“What can I do? Your name is so good. The other party heard that you are a producer and are willing to invest 20 million for us.”
“Twenty million! God, with this money I can do a lot of things, my wife is really amazing.” Zhao Qian couldn’t help but kissed Li Wei on the cheek.
Li Wei resigned from the TV station a few years ago and followed Zhao Qian to run their film and television company wholeheartedly. Li Wei learned to make a film again. She made Zhao Qian a lot easier.
“My eldest brother called me during the day and asked when we would go back.”
Liu Chunzhi’s 70th birthday is approaching, and Jianping wants to celebrate her mother’s birthday.
Zhao Qian said: “You can leave when the current affairs are handled.”
“The funds are in place, the script is in place, and the actors are in place. By the way, Zhao Qian, I will sign someone on my own. Don’t refuse to agree.”
“Who are you signing?”
“Chen Zhu, she said that she hadn’t acted for several years and had a bad life. I felt sorry for her and signed her to let her follow me well and re-position her. I can’t play the leading role at this age, but You can create another character.”
Zhao Qian put his arms around his wife, his eyelids were a little heavy, Li Wei was still talking and he did not dare to really sleep.
When Li Wei finished speaking, he yawned again and again.
“You are sleepy, then go to bed first, and we will talk tomorrow.” Li Wei lay down, the two leaned back to back, and Zhao Qian suddenly sat up and said, “Tomorrow Jiajia’s school opening ceremony, the parents will also To be there, who of us will go?”
Li Wei said vaguely: “Naturally I will go, so don’t worry about it.”
In mid-March, Li Wei took Zhao Qian and Fu Jia on the southbound plane. She was going to Huiliang to celebrate her mother’s 70th birthday.
Shortly after getting on the plane, Li Wei was already asleep. Fu Jia sat by the window and looked at the white clouds not far away. She turned her head and said to her father, “Dad, are there really aliens in the world?”
Zhao Qian tilted his head and thought for a while and said, “Perhaps there are.”
“The aliens can’t understand the words on Earth, how should I say hello to it?”
“At this time, I think… Just stretch out your hand and smile…”
Fu Jia laughed haha.
The longer the daughter was, the more lovely it was. Zhao Qian looked at her daughter with a warm smile.
After getting off the plane, I took the car for more than an hour before finally arriving at Li’s resort hotel.
“I’m looking for grandma.” Fu Jia murmured and ran to a red building.
“You are such a naughty kid who is so old, you run slowly, Jiajia.” Li Wei ran behind.
Fu Jia ran so fast that he later smashed into a sturdy little boy with blond hair.
“Oh, you don’t have eyes on walking!” Fu Jia was hit by someone. Before she had time to get angry, there was a very beautiful foreign boy standing in front of her. The boy was exquisite as if her mother bought her. The same as those dolls.
“Strange, your hair is golden, why are your eyes black, not blue?”
However, this doll will not only cry, but will also run away.
“Mom, mom!” the little boy cried and ran away.
“Jiajia, you bumped into someone, why don’t you apologize.” Li Wei’s tone sounded harsh.
Zhao Qian hurriedly shouted to the side: “Okay, don’t shout at her, she also has to respect herself.”
The doll ran up to another foreign woman and said a lot of things that Fujia couldn’t understand. The doll’s cries still did not stop. Li Wei had to pull Fujia over, and then said to the foreign woman in English: ” Madam, I’m sorry that my daughter ran into your son. I took her to apologize.” Li Wei asked Fu Jia to bow again.
The blonde foreign woman smiled softly and said, “It’s okay to be a boy.” Then she bent down and touched Fuga’s face, complimenting: “It looks so beautiful.”
“Avery, why can’t you still come?”
Li Wei thought that the voice was familiar, but when she was wondering, she saw a man in a suit and leather shoes walking towards this side.
Both Li Wei and Zhao Qian were dumbfounded. When did Li Jianbo come back?
“Second brother?!”
Li Jianbo saw his sister’s family of three, and he didn’t seem to be surprised. He nodded gently, smiled and said, “The one who is close is still late.”
“When did you return home?”
“yesterday.”
The little boy reached for Jianbo’s hand, the tears on his face were not dry, Li Jianbo knelt down and wiped the tears from his face for him, and Li Wei couldn’t hear clearly what he said.
Li Wei looked at the appearance of the family of three, and the corners of her lips slowly rose, and the second brother finally found his happiness.
Jianping came over and urged them: “Everything is outside, mom is calling you.”
The children are playing on the grass in the back, and Yinyin, the big sister, doesn’t like taking her little brother and sister. It was Fu Jia and the blond little boy who had fun.
In the living room on the second floor, the Li family gathered together. Everyone is listening to Jianbo’s experience in the United States in recent years.
At the beginning of the second year after he arrived in the United States, Qi Jingzhen died of cancer. He took his mother’s ashes back to southern Fujian and buried his mother in the ancestral grave of Qi family. Subsequently, he took over Qi Jingzhen’s US industry and has been working hard for these years. Later, I met Avery, a college classmate, and realized that Avery had been waiting for him. He and Avery walked together naturally and gave birth to their son. Jianbo named his son Li Hanyi in Chinese.
“At Christmas last year, my aunt called me and said that she had found Mr. Song’s cemetery. It happened that she came back this time and planned to bury the two together.”
The male and female students who had been separated for almost half a century were not together, at least they could die together.
Li Wei heard Qi Jingyi’s news and couldn’t help but care: “How is Sister Qi now?”
“She’s been doing well and is traveling the world.”
Li Wei really envied Qi Jingyi’s life’s free and easy life.
The moon was like water, and Li Wei stood under the window and looked at the stars in the distance. Zhao Qian came over, hugged her from behind and kissed her hair.
“Why don’t you sleep?”
Li Wei asked, “Where is Jiajia?”
“She was crazy for a day and has fallen asleep.”
There are stars in the distant night sky. Perhaps it was a certain star that brought a huge magic to bring her and Zhao Qian into this world.
“Zhao Qian, thank you for finding me.”
Zhao Qian whispered in her ear: “Because I installed a radar on you, I can find you no matter where you are.”
As the night darkened, people had fallen asleep, only a couple were whispering under the window.
