This actor has something

Chapter 501 The Joy of Collision
Ning Hao really knows how to pick his timing. The weather forecast for the premiere day he chose originally predicted thunderstorms, but those thunderstorms turned into a torrential downpour.

After the premiere, He Daqi looked at the torrential rain outside and couldn't help but click his tongue.

He and Vivian Chow were standing in front of the stadium entrance. Vivian Chow was nestled in his arms, also looking at the rain outside.

"The rain has stopped and the thunder has stopped. Shall we go home? The two kids are getting impatient waiting at home. They sounded really upset when we called earlier."

Zhou Huimin looked up to seek He Daqi's opinion. She had actually wanted to leave for a long time, but He Daqi kept trying to stop her by saying that it was raining heavily and there was thunder. The two of them had been standing at the entrance of the club for almost half an hour.

The rain was indeed much lighter than before, but it was still very heavy, and with the strong winds howling, He Daqi hesitated for a while before giving Zhou Huimin a definite answer.

After Zhou Huimin shook He Daqi's arm again, He Daqi nodded and said, "Okay, let Sister Bai drive slowly later. The visibility is too poor when driving in this kind of weather. Sigh, why is the weather forecast so inaccurate? When we came, I thought the rain had stopped, but who would have thought that another big wave would come."

After He Daqi finished speaking, he opened the large black umbrella in his hand, put his arm around Zhou Huimin, opened the door, and the two of them used the umbrella to shield themselves from the wind and rain, and walked quickly towards the nanny car.

There is a small square in front of the clubhouse. Because of the steps, the nanny car cannot drive through, so this section of about 100 meters has to be walked.

The two walked halfway together when a sudden gust of wind blew, causing He Daqi's large black umbrella to flip over, and the two were instantly soaked to the bone.

"Damn it!" He Daqi laughed and cursed, then rudely threw down his umbrella and grabbed Zhou Huimin, who was laughing and burying her face in his chest, and ran quickly.

The couple, hand in hand, laughed and ran through the heavy rain. They didn't get soaked for long because the Dragon Tiger Brothers and the convoy's bodyguards noticed them and quickly got out of the car and surrounded them with umbrellas.

The rain was so heavy that they both got soaked in just a short time.

It's also the couple's fault for choosing to go out in public without calling the bodyguards in the convoy to let them know and have them come to meet them with umbrellas.

Once in the car, Zhou Huimin looked at He Daqi's hair, which was plastered to his scalp by the rain, and laughed so hard she could hardly breathe. She herself wasn't much better off, looking like a water ghost, with her hair sticking to her cheeks and two vertical lines of eyeliner smeared across her face.

He Daqi chuckled and took the dry towels handed to him by the Dragon and Tiger Brothers. He threw one directly at Zhou Huimin's laughing face, while he took the other and vigorously wiped his head and face.

The driver, Bai Wei, had thoughtfully turned up the air conditioning in the van. Before setting off, she turned back and asked softly, "Da Qi, do you want us to get out of the car first? You and Miss Zhou can change your clothes."

"It's alright, Sister Bai. It's hot in the summer, you won't catch a cold from getting wet. Just drive back, but drive slowly, the visibility is poor."

He Daqi smiled and waved his hand.

Fortunately, the premiere venue wasn't too far from the manor villa, and the couple arrived home in about twenty minutes.

Probably because of the jogging in the rain earlier, Zhou Huimin was in a good mood after the exercise. As soon as she got out of the car, she jumped onto He Daqi's back and insisted that he carry her home.

So when Zhou's mother was coaxing the two naughty boys to sit on the sofa and wait with them for He Daqi and his wife to come back, she heard the sound of the door opening. She turned her head and saw He Daqi smiling and carrying Zhou Huimin back.

The two of them were soaked to the bone and looked quite disheveled because that scoundrel He Daqi had gotten into trouble again and carried Zhou Huimin around the lawn in front of the villa several times in the pouring rain.

The two little ones stared blankly at their parents' appearance, forgetting their original intention to whine and throw a tantrum. They watched dumbly as He Daqi, soaked to the bone, carried Zhou Huimin on his back, laughing as he ran back to the bedroom and closed the door.

Zhou's mother smiled and complained in a low voice, "He never seems to grow up."

I don't know if they're talking about the daughter or the son-in-law.

When the two mischievous kids saw their parents again, it was already more than ten minutes later. He Daqi and Zhou Huimin had already been playing around in the bathroom, hurriedly taking a shower, drying each other's hair, and getting themselves ready before coming out.

"Why don't you listen to Grandma and insist on waiting for Mom and Dad to come back before going to sleep?" Zhou Huimin pretended to be stern, standing in front of the sofa, staring at her two little darlings and coldly threatening them.

The two mischievous boys ignored Zhou Huimin and stared longingly at He Daqi. They jumped off the sofa, each grabbing one of He Daqi's hands, and whined, "I want Daddy to carry me too!" X2
He Daqi squatted down and hugged the two little ones tightly. Looking at their adorable little faces from side to side, he said gently, "You can memorize them tomorrow. It's already very late. Go to sleep now."

The two children couldn't agree to that, and they snuggled into He Daqi's arms, acting like spoiled brats.

He Daqi and his wife played good cop and bad cop, and it took them a lot of effort to get the two children to agree that tonight He Daqi would carry them to his bedroom on the second floor to sleep quietly, and tomorrow He Daqi would carry them around the house a few more times to play.

In less than ten minutes, He Daqi had used his new ability to lull the two little ones to sleep while telling them a story from a fairy tale book. After looking at their peaceful and adorable sleeping faces for a while, He Daqi tiptoed downstairs.

Back in the couple's bedroom on the first floor, they opened the door to find Vivian Chow laughing and hitting the blanket while holding her phone.

"what happened?"

"Take a look for yourself." Zhou Huimin handed the phone to He Daqi with great delight.

He Daqi took the photo and saw that it showed the couple looking disheveled when they came out of the clubhouse. The paparazzi had taken pictures of them and posted them online, and it was even a video.

In the video, He Daqi's curse after his umbrella flipped over was exceptionally clear; even the torrential rain couldn't drown out his shout.

If He Daqi's outburst of profanity after being drenched in the rain was merely amusing, then the scene of a group of bodyguards in black suits getting out of the convoy behind him, holding umbrellas, surrounding He Daqi and his wife, and escorting them into the car was rather shocking.

He Daqi replayed the video twice, mainly to see how disheveled and drenched he and Zhou Huimin looked.

After watching enough, I leisurely lay in bed and opened the discussion section below the video, only to find that there were already thousands of comments.

Huh? When did this video get so many comments?

He Daqi glanced at the video's release time and quickly deduced that the video was basically uploaded online as soon as it was recorded.

He smiled, put his arm around Vivian Chow, who nestled close to him and pressed her head against his, and began to carefully read through the comments.

The first pinned post made him twitch his lips.

Daqi's first wife: "Sisters! My house happens to be near the premiere venue today. When I saw Daqi had lost his umbrella, I immediately reviewed the video carefully and discovered that Daqi's bodyguards hadn't taken the umbrella back. So I braved the rain to rush to the venue and found Daqi's lost umbrella. And here's the key point! The left side of the umbrella handle has Daqi's signature engraved, and the right side has Zhou Huimin's signature engraved. On the umbrella surface, there's a 'He' character and a 'Zhou' character. I feel like I've accidentally struck gold! See the picture above as proof!" Wow! He Daqi clicked on the picture and zoomed in. It really was the umbrella he had lost.

He Daqi then clicked on the thousands of replies to the pinned message and started reading.

Happy and cheerful real mom: "Sister, what luck! Are you selling this umbrella for 60,000? I'm flying to Beijing tomorrow. Message me privately, cash on delivery."

Daqi's little wife: "What are you thinking? This umbrella looks like a high-end custom-made one. The cost price is probably more than 100,000. It even has Daqi's signature on it. Ahhhhhh! I'm so envious! I want to pick one up too."

The son is named Huanhuan and the daughter is named Lele: "Sister, send me a private message, the price is negotiable, I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

I have twins with Daqi: "Sisters, I'm also from Beijing, and I happen to be nearby. Would you be willing to barter? I can provide a car and a house. Give me a chance to exchange things."

Sleeping in Daqi's arms every day: "You guys never mention Vivian Chow at all!"

I am the real mother of Daqi's child: "We're from the same city, so everything is negotiable. Sister, please reply to my private message."

Daqi's first wife: "Stop messaging me. I'm not short of money, so I'm not selling anything. I want to find someone to repair the umbrella to make it more secure, so that I can use it when it's windy or rainy. That way, it's like Daqi is protecting me."

Happy and cheerful real mom: "5555555~ Sisters in Beijing really speak with confidence! I'm so envious!"

He Daqi wanted to scroll down further, but Zhou Huimin snatched the phone back from him.

"Great! I've found a bunch of people who've insulted me. I know all their IDs very well. No way! I'm going to report them all!"

Zhou Huimin, who was originally all smiles, now gritted her teeth.

……

……

There are two major entertainment industry events that have been making headlines recently.

They are all related to He Daqi, and they can even be linked to the same event.

The first trending topic was that He Daqi's autographed custom umbrella was found by a girl in Beijing. Someone offered her over a million yuan but she didn't sell it. Later, her identity was revealed. The girl's family runs a pharmaceutical company. She just turned 18 last year. Her coming-of-age gift was dozens of shops, several luxury cars, and luxury goods from her elders.

This made many onlookers sigh, "These die-hard fans of Beijing are really something else, each one a rich woman."

The second trending topic is that Ning Hao's "Detective Chinatown" and the Hollywood blockbuster "Transformers 3" have clashed, causing a huge mess. Some experts have commented that if these two films hadn't clashed in release, they both would have had the potential to break 1 billion yuan at the box office. Unfortunately, they've now hit the same spot.

The most interesting thing is that He Daqi lost his umbrella because he attended the premiere of Detective Chinatown. It is said that a fanatical fan of He Daqi was so happy that he booked hundreds of screenings of Detective Chinatown in Beijing and gave them away to passersby for free.

This made Ning Hao's fans quite unhappy. Tickets were already hard to buy, and He Daqi's fans did this, which only made things worse. Why didn't they wait until the box office dropped before doing this?
Of course, Ning Hao's fans can only complain in their hearts, and at most they can make some insinuations online. They dare not confront He Daqi's fans directly, after all, the fighting power of He Daqi's fans is well known, and they are a veteran and powerful force.

The general public is focused on the gossip, while those in the entertainment industry are concerned with the outcome of Ning Hao's head-on confrontation with a Hollywood blockbuster.

One week, two weeks...

Detective Chinatown benefited from being released a week earlier than Transformers 3, so its box office performance remained stable and its word-of-mouth was surprisingly good, while Transformers 3 received only so-so reviews.

The ticket subsidy program started in the second week of the release of Detective Chinatown.

Those in the entertainment industry who follow this immediately sighed with envy: Here we go again!
In just two weeks, Detective Chinatown's box office exceeded one billion yuan, and it remained strong in the third week, with a drop similar to that of Transformers 3 in the second week.

There's no need to compete anymore; with He Daqi out, the outcome is already a foregone conclusion.

He Daqi knew that Transformers 3 was originally going to break 1 billion, so he made several preparations, but he didn't use them in the end because starting from the second week, the box office of Transformers 3 was clearly being absorbed by Detective Chinatown.

Given the current situation, it's hard to say whether Transformers 3 will even reach 700 million at the box office. On the other hand, Detective Chinatown has been a pleasant surprise for He Daqi. It seems that with its good word-of-mouth promotion, it won't need to spend too much on ticket subsidies to reach 15 billion, and it should even exceed that number in the end.

Ning Hao is really getting cocky now. He's at the top two of the domestic box office rankings. Although he wasn't actually the director of The Thieves, outsiders don't know that, but his name is on the list anyway.

He was in a great mood after finishing the roadshow, and even went to Asia to hand out red envelopes one by one.

In this situation, Lu Yang took the opportunity to ask Ning Hao for help in sharing some of the workload, and Ning Hao readily agreed. He even took the initiative to take over the tedious post-production adjustments for the Illusionary Prison Break.

Lu Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief and began editing the post-production of "My Love from the Star" with peace of mind.

After learning that the drama had finished filming and started post-production, all sorts of people came to urge Lu Yang as if they had agreed to. The problem was that China Film Group was also urging Lu Yang to finish the movie "Phantom Prison Break," which made Lu Yang feel like he was busy with one thing but not the other.

With Ning Hao's help, Lu Yang focused on working overtime to catch up on the schedule, basically sleeping at Ya Yue every day, editing as soon as he opened his eyes, and only going to the rest room to catch up on sleep when he couldn't stay awake any longer.

When He Daqi came over and saw him doing this, he was completely dumbfounded. There were all sorts of people urging Lu Yang, but He Daqi was not among them. He himself was unwilling to work overtime, so he certainly didn't expect others to work overtime every day.

"Lu Yang, be careful! Don't die here! You don't need to push yourself so hard. Just go at a normal pace."

"Don't say anymore, senior brother. President Liu and the other investors have all promised me that the faster and better the production of this drama, the better. If I can finish the post-production editing in two months, they will give me a big red envelope. If I can finish the production in one month, the big red envelope will become an extra big red envelope."

"How big is 'extra-large'?" He Daqi asked curiously.

"Seven-digit number becomes eight-digit number".

"Isn't this my usual move?" He Daqi glanced around at the film and television production center staff who were working overtime with Lu Yang and complained speechlessly. It seemed that each of them could get quite a bit from Lu Yang.
