Chapter 883: Chapter 873: Festival

Wang Xing never expected that "traitor" could be a verb.

This name, it sounds illegal just hearing it, yet high in artistic value.

"Get lost, I’m talking serious here, do you have any serious roles?" Wang Xing took a deep breath, feeling he shouldn’t be so irritable, after all, this was his dream!

Su Qing chuckled at these words: "Why don’t you play Qin Hui, it’s all the same anyway!"

"Same my ass, are you messing with me!"

"You just realized? I told you, this is the only project I’ve got. You’re asking for a period drama? Where am I supposed to find it for you? Besides, aren’t you supposed to be preparing for your civil service exam rather than filming?"

"No rush, take a few days off, you’ve got to give yourself a break, right?" Wang Xing said with a mischievous grin.

Su Qing nodded, hinting at something: "True, after all, your happy and free time is running out!"

Wang Xing: ???

This kid, getting married sooner wouldn’t be a bad idea. Plus, his current conditions aren’t too bad. Last year, he made his first pot of gold dabbling in the stock market, and now he’s doing building materials business with Ding Qiang. Although the cash flow isn’t much, the two of them having a big truck is quite an asset.

Moreover, Wang Xing isn’t an orphan with no parents. Buying a house outright might be a bit tough, but to pay a down payment, his family should still manage. Combined with his own savings, they shouldn’t feel too much pressure in the short term, especially with parents willing to help.

The only hassle is that life might get a bit tight once a child is born.

The two of them just lazed around on the set, eating and drinking at no cost. If they wanted anything special, they could even ask the staff to buy it. After all, Tang Nan was footing the bill, and didn’t care at all!

He was doing well, while Wang Xing found everything fresh and curious thanks to his first experience on a film set.

Meanwhile, online, the buzz for two movies was peaking. Whether it was "Invisible" or "This Killer Is Not Very Calm", both had good reviews, especially the former.

Not that the latter wasn’t good, it’s just that it was a remake, already market-tested. But it still had plenty of hilarious moments.

Because of this, his image among the netizens was beginning to change, transitioning from an internet celebrity to capital investor.

Four consecutive movies, all successful hits, it spoke volumes, especially with "Wandering Earth" being such a smash.

The recently de-listed "Life-changing Matters" was also a typical example of a low-budget hit film, earning nearly 1.74 billion at the box office from a 60 million investment, which was incredibly spectacular.

Now these two freshly released films instantly became the talk of the town, with nothing but praise, and "This Killer Is Not Very Calm" even broke through 200 million in box office on its first day, certainly another blockbuster hit.

However, Su Qing knew that this movie’s box office performance was nearly half that of "Wandering Earth", and ultimately, the earnings might not be as high as imagined due to his decreased investment share this time. Nonetheless, earning something is always better.

As for "Invisible", it surely made money, as it was entirely his, while the director and actors were paid a salary of around 30 million. Truth be told, for him, the director, and even the lead actor, the movie earned more of a reputation than box office success.

After all, one is a new director and the other a washed-up action star. Only with a good reputation can they earn fame and make money easier in the future.

For Su Qing, "Invisible" was more like a performance review.

With four perfect score reports in hand, who in the industry wouldn’t esteem him?

Su Qing’s account comments section was booming with excitement.

"I’ve decided, from now on I’ll only watch films Su Qing invests in, what a thrill!"

"Right, right, if it’s not Su Qing’s investment, I won’t watch, cough!"

"Isn’t it that now, if stars in the entertainment circle have free time, they should ask Su Qing before taking a role? I’d be afraid to see another bad film."

"Su Qing, that jerk, a few days ago his girlfriend brought a girl to dance for him in the hospital, and now in just a few days, he’s making big money again. He deserves to be hospitalized!"

"That’s called saving where you should and spending where you should!"

"That’s called professionalism!"

The success of four consecutive film investments gave Su Qing a strong foothold in the film investment industry. Not to mention that starting last night, Hu Xiaolin from the capital hadn’t had any peace, with countless people calling for appointments and even groups of people visiting the company to meet her, because Su Qing had told her to release the news that they were adding a few more projects.

After all, with the two movies currently playing, loss is off the table; it’s just a matter of how much they earn.

Before they knew it, two more days passed. It was the Dragon Boat Festival, a three-day holiday, and after it ends, it would directly be time for the annual college entrance examinations.

At this moment, Su Qing took Shen Yi home, where his mom, Zhou Hui, already had zongzi prepared.

"Xiaoyi, I wasn’t sure what filling zongzi are eaten with in your area, so I bought several kinds. Pick whichever you like, okay?"

"Got it, thanks auntie!" Shen Yi smiled.

Being valued by a future mother-in-law gave her genuine joy. At least she didn’t experience the so-called mother-in-law conflict that her friends from her hometown talked about.

"As the saying goes, poverty befalls couples everywhere, but as long as you have money, there’s very little to argue about. Plus, their conditions weren’t bad, so there was no such thing as who was taking advantage of whom."

"By the way, what kind of filling do zongzi in your hometown have? Do they have meat ones?" Su Qing asked.

Shen Yi nodded, the zongzi in her area indeed had meat, wrapped in various ways.

"We’re close to the north, where zongzi are filled with sticky rice and red dates. If possible, we dip them in sugar! I can’t quite imagine zongzi with meat, that’s just weird!"

Hearing this, Shen Yi rolled her eyes and softly said: "It’s dipping them in sugar that’s bizarre, careful or I’ll roast you!"

"Alright then, agreed, we eat our own respective flavors, anyway, mom bought plenty of kinds, you’re not allowed to force me to eat meat zongzi!"

"Let’s see what mood I’m in!"

While talking, the living room door opened, and old Su came in with Big Yellow, and bought some fruit drinks.

"Ah, Xiaoyi is here, come on, your uncle bought some lychees for you!"

Big Yellow: "Woof woof, woof woof woof~" [It’s a holiday. If you guys don’t let me eat my fill today, I’m out. Living with your family is suffocating. If you can’t afford a dog, send me to work at least. They at least offer room and board.]

Recently, Big Yellow was becoming more confident. Someone with a job can speak with much more assurance.

Soon, a family of four sat down at the dinner table. Yes, without Su He, it was still four people, and even more harmonious than before.

"Xiaoyi, when are you going to the capital?"

"On the 7th, I suppose!"

"Then what does your mom like? Auntie wants to bring something over!"

"Auntie, it’s really not necessary, my mom doesn’t have any particular preferences."

"It’s a must, it’s proper etiquette."

Watching his mom and Shen Yi chatting so lively, Su Qing quietly asked old Su:

"Dad, have you requested your leave?"

"Yes, I have. Just perfect to visit your sister. Do you have plans for later?"

"None, why, how about we go fishing later? The weather’s just right recently, perfect for it!"

"Fishing? Why didn’t you ask Uncle Li?"

Hearing this, old Su smiled awkwardly: "Well, he said I’m showing off with a broken fishing rod, doesn’t want to go with me anymore!"

Su Qing: ...
