Chapter 475 If We Could Meet Earlier
Chapter 475 If We Could Meet Earlier
Since she is a student, she must focus on her studies and can only use her vacation time to shoot the movie. Therefore, her scenes must be shot during the winter vacation, otherwise it will delay the overall progress of the movie.
Although Hua Xiali had never acted in a drama, she had seen movies and had some understanding of the scene. In addition, she came from a rural background and could do all kinds of farm work. With the director’s guidance, she looked very natural when filming, with no signs of deliberate acting at all. Moreover, her progress was surprisingly the smoothest, even smoother than that of other senior actors.
Around the twentieth day of filming, a comrade from the crew told Hua Xiali that a young and handsome man came to see her and was waiting for her in the yard where everyone was having dinner. Hua Xiali thought it was her husband Huo Beixi who came to see her, so she ran over there excitedly after finishing her scene.
After entering the courtyard and seeing the person coming, I realized it was not Huo Beixi.
“Brother-in-law, why are you here? Are you here alone?” Hua Xiali turned his head and looked, but was surprised not to see his elder sister.
Jian Nan is only in his twenties, younger than Huo Beixi, but he now looks like an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life. He has none of the vigor and vitality of a young man, nor the high spirits and sunshine of his past.
Hua Xiali didn’t know what had happened that caused him to change so much in just a few years.
“Xia Li, are you happy now? Is he good to you?” Jian Nan walked over and locked the gate, then sat down at the dining table.
Hua Chunli is a mentally ill person, which makes him afraid to even have a normal meeting with Hua Xiali, because he is afraid that Hua Chunli will do something wrong, hurt Hua Xiali and ruin Hua Xiali’s reputation.
Finally, he came up with the idea of investing in a movie, which brought him such a rare opportunity to meet. He was such a coward that he couldn’t confess his feelings to the person he liked, nor could he be with the person he liked, and he couldn’t even meet her.
If Hua Chunli hadn’t caused trouble, how could Hua Xiali have married Huo Beixi, whom she had known for less than a year, at the age of nineteen?
Although Hua Xiali was confused, she nodded. “My husband treats me very well, and I am very happy. How could it be that you, my elder brother-in-law, are not good to my elder sister? Men cannot be like this. Men must be good to their wives, because wives are wealth and treasures. A man who is not good to his wife will never be successful.”
Jian Nan smiled bitterly, then took the suitcase beside his feet to the table, patted the suitcase and said to Hua Xiali, “The things inside are what I prepared for Xiaoqing. You are more reliable than your elder sister. Please keep them for me and give them to Xiaoqing when she grows up. There is also a brown paper bag inside. The things in the bag are your hard work fee for helping to keep the things.”
Xiaoqing is the daughter of my eldest sister and brother-in-law, Jian Qing.
The Jian family doesn’t like Hua Chunli, but they are still nice to Xiaoqing. After all, she is their granddaughter and has their blood, so they naturally treat her well.
Although Hua Xiali didn’t understand why Jian Nan gave the things to her for safekeeping, Xiaoqing called her second aunt and she was her niece, so it was her duty to help her niece keep important things.
And Hua Chunli was obviously not as reliable as her. “Thank you, sorry for the trouble.” Jian Nan kicked the bench away, stood up, bowed to Hua Xiali, and then turned and left. When he walked to the door, he looked back at Hua Xiali and said silently in his heart.
If there is a next life, I will be careful in everything and never give others the chance to plot against me, so that there will be no possibility between us.
After Jian Nan left for a while, Hua Xiali carried his suitcase back to his room. The room had been cleaned up by the crew in advance.
Hua Xiali closed the door and opened the box. She saw several document bags on it. She opened the bags and took a look. They were all property certificates and shop property certificates. She didn’t expect that Jian Nan had prepared these for Xiao Qing so early. Jian Nan was indeed a good father.
There were square boxes stacked up under the file bag. Hua Xiali opened a box and took a look. It turned out to be gold jewelry.
Then, underneath the gold jewelry were neatly stacked gold bars. No wonder they were so heavy. It turned out that there were so many gold bars. I don’t know what Jian Nan wanted to do. Why didn’t he wait until Xiaoqing grew up and give it to her personally?
Although she was confused, Hua Xiali did not think too much about it. She thought Jian Nan was probably worried that he would be partial to other children in the future, so she prepared Xiaoqing’s things first.
Finally, Hua Xiali opened the brown paper bag, and found several copies of the property certificates inside. She didn’t expect that he would give her so much storage fee.
However, it would be quite troublesome to help Xiaoqing to take care of the house and the shop in the future. After all, the house and the shop cannot be left empty for more than ten or twenty years. I have to go there often to clean them. Even if I rent them out, I have to show up often. Otherwise, what if others think that the house is gone and they don’t want to leave?
Therefore, Hua Xiali decided to keep the “hardship fee” given by Jian Nan for the time being, and use it to run his business for a few decades, and then use it when Xiaoqing grows up.
We were shooting a movie and it was just an ordinary movie, not a difficult action movie. Plus the weather was very good, so the progress of the film was very fast.
During the Chinese New Year, all the crew members had three days off, New Year’s Eve, the first and second day of the Chinese New Year, and the third day started the shooting again. Huo Beixi took a holiday during the Chinese New Year, and on the third day he and Hua Xiali went to Shitou Village in Baibao County.
The moment the director saw Huo Beixi, he had only one thought in his mind, that is, he was the chosen male lead. It was just that they had found a professional performing artist for the male lead, and the filming had already taken so long, and the script was already half finished, so there was no way to change the actor. The director could only feel that it was a pity in his heart.
Unfortunately, it was too late when he met Huo Beixi. If he had met him earlier, he would definitely let Huo Beixi play the male lead and Hua Xiali play the female lead.
In the movie, the male and female protagonists are husband and wife, and if they are also husband and wife in real life, what a romantic and beautiful thing it would be!
Hua Xiali also took Huo Beixi to visit Grandpa Fang, who had been living alone in Shitou Village. This story was adapted by himself decades later based on the story of Grandpa Fang and his wife.
Logically speaking, Hua Xiali still owed Uncle Fang copyright fees. After all, the story was written based on Uncle Fang and his wife. It’s just that these things cannot be said explicitly, and no one would believe it if they were said. So Hua Xiali decided to deliver daily necessities to Uncle Fang on time in the future.
