Former Cannon Fodder’s Self-help Manual - Chapter 25

Xia Changhan lay on the bed hugging the pillow and turning left and right, his eyes opened and closed, and he couldn’t fall asleep after counting hundreds of sheep.

She sighed: “It doesn’t go well.”

System: “There’s something wrong.”

Xia Changhan sat up abruptly, and sighed: “I don’t understand, why can I have a blast in the water after soaking in a hot spring.”

The system asked her: “Are you feeling good?”

Xia Changhan replied honestly: “It’s so cool.”

The system simply and rudely said: “It’s over when you’re cool, why bother so much?”

Xia Changhan snorted: “You have a bunch of data, you have nothing to love, you know a ball.”

system:”…”

Xia Changhan took the bed and woke up early the next morning. After washing up and going downstairs, Jian Ming sat downstairs early, holding a newspaper and pretending.

Sitting opposite him, Jian Yixian raised her head when she heard the movement on the stairs, and smiled, “Are you up?”

Jian Ming’s eyeballs were about to pop out, he had seen his mother smirk countless times, sneer, hideous smile, this was the first time he saw his mother smile so softly and kindly.

Xia Changhan walked down the stairs, “Get up.”

Xia Changhan and Jian Yixian spent a long time in the hot springs last night. When they slept, they found themselves in the bed. After tossing and turning for half the night, they fell asleep. Now she was still a little sleepy. She covered her mouth and yawned slightly. Jian Yixian Immediately ask: “Didn’t sleep well? Go up to catch up on sleep?”

Jian Ming’s eyeballs fell all over the floor, your son’s dark circles are comparable to smoky makeup, don’t ask a question, Xia Changhan yawned, seeing how nervous you are, he now wonders if he hasn’t woken up, the scene in front of him is an illusion .

Xia Changhan shook his head: “Don’t sleep anymore, “Dawn is Coming” will start tomorrow, I will go back and pack up my things and prepare to join the group.”

As he spoke, he sat next to Jian Yixian and asked, “Boss Jian, what are you having for breakfast?”

Jian Ming rushed to say: “Yuyou is cooking for us in the kitchen.”

“What did you do?”

“Whatever mom likes to eat, Yoyo will do it.”

Xia Changhan turned his head and asked Jian Yixian: “Boss Jian, what do you like to eat?”

Jian Yixian: “Sandwich.”

“Yuyou is very good at making sandwiches, Mom, you will try her handicraft later.” Jian Yan spared no effort to win favor for his girlfriend.

Xia Changhan glanced at him slowly, tugged at Jian Yixian’s sleeves: “I want to eat soy milk fritters.”

Jian Ming lowered her face, “Yuyou is making sandwiches for mom, how can she have time to fry fried dough sticks?”

“I didn’t say to eat your girlfriend’s fried dough sticks. I’m going out to eat.”

“Then you go, Yoyo can make one less.”

“I’ll be with you,” Jian Yixian picked up his coat and put it on his arm, “I tell you that your girlfriend doesn’t need to cook breakfast for the two of us.”

Xia Changhan smiled provocatively at Jianming, and followed Jian Yixian out, leaving a stunned Jianming sitting by the dining table, unconsciously tearing the newspaper in half without noticing it.

Jian Yixian opened the car door, put her hands on the door, and after Xia Changhan entered, he drove her out for breakfast.

“You, what are you doing with Jian Ming?”

Xia Changhan adjusted the seat and said, “Look at how he looks like a villain, it’s a good temper for me not to kick him.”

“I’ve never seen Jian Jian lose his composure so much. If he did this often, I wouldn’t consider making him my successor.”

Speaking of heirs, Xia Changhan asked curiously: “You are only thirty-seven years old, why did you choose an heir so early?”

“If you don’t have your own blood, of course you have to pick someone from a sideline.”

“You can give birth to one yourself.”

“I’m not interested in other people.”

Xia Changhan raised his eyebrows, if he wasn’t interested in others, he was interested in her.

She then asked: “Now that test-tube babies are so developed, it’s easy to extract an egg to make a test tube. It’s a pity to waste such an excellent gene.”

Jian Yixian’s brows and eyes showed joy, “Really?”

“of course.”

Xia Changhan’s words reminded Jian Yixian that since she has someone she likes, she naturally doesn’t reject having her own blood. She stared at Xia Changhan for a while, and Xia Changhan felt chills all over her body when she looked at her, ” Watch what I do and concentrate on driving.”

Jian Yixian smiled, her little dessert might not be ready yet.

But it doesn’t matter, the future is long.

The boss of Younianhua Group gave the green light all the way, and the crew of “Dawn is Coming” did not encounter any obstacles at all, and started the production smoothly.

On the eve of the start-up, Jian Yixian suddenly asked Cao Feng when he was reviewing the documents: “Is there a start-up ceremony before each crew starts shooting?”

“Yes, Mr. Jian. Before the filming starts, the crew will gather together to burn incense and worship Buddha. It’s similar to the foundation stone laying ceremony in order to get a good start.”

Jian Yixian put down his pen, “Foundation laying ceremony? Tell the logistics to take care of it.”

Cao Feng agreed, and when he was about to leave, Jian Yixian called to him: “Help me order a bouquet of red roses to deliver to Xia Changhan’s residence.”

“Alright Mr. Jian, if Ms. Xia doesn’t go home when she’s busy filming, do you need to send roses to the crew?”

Jian Yixian picked up the pen and continued to review the documents, “Of course, remember to send Xia Changhan a bouquet of roses every day in the future.”

“Yes, Mr. Jane.”

“By the way, you should bring freshly picked roses with dew every morning.”

“…Yes Mr. Jane”

On the day of the filming, Xia Changhan brought a group of leading actors to burn incense and worship Buddha, after which “Dawn is Coming” officially started filming.

On the day of joining the group, Gao Zijian kept in mind the instructions of his manager Li Tian, ​​and dragged his bags to report in front of Xia Changhan.

The temperature was very high that day, but it reached thirty degrees Celsius at eight o’clock.

Xia Changhan was drinking a cold drink while hiding under the parasol.

He threw down his bag and moved to Xia Changhan, and said with a smile, “Director Xia, am I the first here?”

Xia Changhan handed him a bottle of ice water: “No.”

Gao Zijian was startled, “How could there be someone who came faster than me.”

Xia Changhan rushed forward and pouted. There was a gentle and demure woman under another parasol. She sat on a chair with her legs crossed, holding a small battery-powered fan in her hand and blowing.

“Damn it, Sister Yan is here.”

That woman was Yuan Yan who bumped into Jian Yixian during the interview. Ever since she met Jian Yixian and went to find Xia Changhan, she knew the truth in her heart. This director Xia must have made an appointment in front of Mr. Jian. Don’t worry. She is said to be a first- and second-tier artist, even if she is a veteran actress, as long as Director Xia needs her, she has to obediently come here to pave the way.

Anyone who can make a name for himself in the entertainment industry is not a genius. Yuan Yan came early in the morning to show her face in front of Xia Dao and make a good impression on her. In the future, Xia Dao will become famous in the future, maybe she can also get some benefit.

Gao Zijian must not have guessed Yuan Yan’s intentions. His poor brain cells were all used for playing games. Seeing that Yuan Yan came earlier than him, he waited there honestly, and couldn’t help sighing: “Director Xia, our web drama is really well-received.”

Xia Changhan liked Gao Zijian very much, so he asked Gao Zijian to sit next to her.

Gao Zijian let out a youthful “Hey”, moved a chair to Xia Changhan’s side, and sat on it.

He unscrewed the ice water and took a sip, and talked to Xia Changhan very familiarly: “Director Xia, I heard that our web drama has invested 50 million yuan?”

Xia Changhan: “Yes.”

Gao Zijian scratched his head: “Why do you vote so much?”

Xia Changhan: “Most of the money is spent on special effects.”

The drama “Dawn is Coming” basically has a lot of special effects, so the acting skills of the actors are especially tested. The reason why Xia Changhan has high requirements for acting skills is also based on this reason.

At this time, the development of special effects in China is lagging behind. Gao Zijian’s impression of special effects is still on the caterpillars and martial arts light effects in TV dramas. He asked puzzledly: “Fifty cents for special effects is not so expensive, is it?”

“The special effects team of “Dawn Will Come” is Stephen Studio.”

Gao Zijian had heard a little about Stephen’s studio and exclaimed, “Damn it, it’s the studio that wants money!”

The two of them chatted without deliberately lowering their voices. Yuan Yan, who was not far away, also heard it. She was very interested in Stephen’s studio, and motioned for the assistant to move up the stool, and they also came over together.

Gao Zijian was still a little restrained in the face of a long-established artist, mainly because he had been tricked several times before, not to mention that he had always liked Yuan Yan, and when he saw Yuan Yan also came over, he shouted politely: “Sister Yan.”

Yuan Yan smiled like a spring breeze: “You are…Gao Zijian.”

Gao Zijian was a little excited: “Sister Yan knows me?”

“My baby likes your song very much.”

Gao Zijian’s face was flushed: “It’s all saliva songs.”

Yuan Yan’s voice was gentle and pleasant: “It’s your strength to be able to sing with drool that others like.”

“Hey hey hey” Gao Zijian was so praised that he couldn’t find the north, he hugged the ice water and laughed.

Yuan Yan cast her gaze on Xia Changhan, “Director Xia, I just heard Zijian say that the special effects team for our show is Stephen Studio?”

Xia Changhan: “Yes.”

“Stephen Studio is indeed the top special effects team in China.”

Gao Zijian: “How else can I say that I want money for the studio.”

Xia Changhan: “It’s not right to say that you want money. The reason why domestic special effects are not as good as foreign blockbusters is because of funding issues.”

Yuan Yan went on to say: “Director Xia is right. Sixty percent of the film investment in foreign countries is spent on special effects, but in China, such a high proportion cannot be achieved.”

Gao Zijian asked curiously: “Director Xia, how much is the production budget for the special effects of our show?”

Xia Changhan blinked: “No lower than foreign countries.”

“Director Xia is courageous, and he is indeed the most valued new director by the company!” Gao Zijian opened and closed his mouth, and Xia Changhan was about to float away with a series of rainbow farts.

Yuan Yan felt that she needed to readjust her perception of Gao Zijian. The outside world also said that he was not good at words, had a hot temper and was easy to offend people. Sure enough, the rumors were not entirely credible.

The three of them chatted together to pass the time, and quickly got to know each other. They tweeted each other and left their contact information. Xia Changhan created the “Dawn is Coming” crew group and dragged Yuan Yan and Gao Zijian in.

It didn’t take long for the leading actors to arrive one after another.

After everyone arrived, the filming location was immediately sealed off, and a caravan slowly drove up outside. Cao Feng sat in the co-pilot, his back straight.
