Chapter 79 continues the suspense (Please subscribe!)
"Dad~Dad~"

“ma~ma”

"Dad~Dad~"

“ma~ma”

Liu Xiaoli, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh at the conversation between the father and daughter.

He couldn't help but joke:
"Alright, you don't need to call your daughter 'Dad' as soon as you get back; she doesn't understand it yet."

"What do you mean I call her Dad? I'm teaching her to call me Dad." Chen Fusheng glared at his wife, annoyed.

Liu Xiaoli, not to be outdone, retorted:

"It's because your father is often not home."

These words left Chen Fusheng speechless, so he chose to pretend he didn't hear them.

"How long do you plan to stay this time?" Liu Xiaoli asked again after a while when her husband didn't answer.

"Wait until the beginning of next month."

"Why did your boss give you such a long leave this time?" Liu Xiaoli asked curiously.

"It wasn't really a holiday; I came back with a mission."

"Task?"

“Yes.” Chen Fusheng turned around and looked at his wife, saying, “I came back this time to take you and the two of you to the capital.”

"What kind of mission is this?"

"How can it not count? Our leader has entrusted you with important responsibilities."

Liu Xiaoli didn't believe him. She felt that her husband was just teasing her, and said irritably, "Stop talking nonsense and tell the truth."

“Really…” Then, Chen Fusheng told his wife about how his film “Cow”, which he starred in last year, won two awards at this year’s Golden Rooster Awards.

Liu Xiaoli listened for a while, and although she felt proud of her husband and honored to share in his glory, she still couldn't figure out what this had to do with her.

“But your husband is going to the Cannes Film Festival next month. It’s a national mission, and I can’t refuse it, so our leader said so.”

At this point, Chen Fusheng paused, cleared his throat, and then paraphrased and embellished what he had said, mimicking Deputy Director Shi's tone.

"Ahem, Comrade Fusheng, since the Golden Rooster Awards have awarded you two major prizes, it shows that they value you highly. Even if you can't attend that day, to show respect, you should still send a representative to accept the awards on your behalf. As for the choice of representative, your lover is actually just right."

Seeing that her husband's story was so convincing, Liu Xiaoli was now almost completely convinced.

Then I started to get a little nervous.

"You really want me to go and accept the award for you?" she asked again to confirm.

"Do you want to go?" Chen Fusheng asked in return.

"I'm not good at speaking, and I'm afraid I'll embarrass you." After accepting this in her heart, Liu Xiaoli asked herself a question and found that she wasn't too resistant, just a little nervous.

Chen Fusheng took his wife's hand and gently stroked her nose. "You've got it backwards. All you have to do is stand on that stage, and countless people will envy me for having such a beautiful wife. So this isn't embarrassing me; it's making me proud."

"You're just trying to fool me." Liu Xiaoli was actually overjoyed by Chen Fusheng's words, but she still refused to admit defeat.

"How did I lie to you? Wasn't I telling the truth?"

"So what should I say then?" Liu Xiaoli asked, which was actually an implicit acceptance that she would represent Chen Fusheng at the Golden Rooster Awards.

"Just say thank you to my husband for being so outstanding, such a good actor, and so handsome... Ouch, be gentle, it hurts."

"Hmph, serves you right for being so glib."

Chen Fusheng rubbed his waist, which had just been pinched, and thought to himself, "Why do women from all eras like to pinch men's waists?"

However, he then seriously discussed the award ceremony process with his wife, as well as the speaking issue that she was most worried about.

"If you're still really worried, I'll ask Secretary Wang to write a speech for you. Just memorize it before you go on stage." With Chen Fusheng's words, Liu Xiaoli's last bit of concern was dispelled.

But she immediately followed up with, "In your last letter you said you bought a two-courtyard siheyuan in Beijing. Does that mean we can move in right away when we get there?"

"It's not possible now. The house was just painted at the beginning of this month. We need to let it air out for at least a month. That's why I said we'd go back in early May."

Liu Xiaoli nodded, then shook her head.

"its not right."

"What's wrong?"

"You're coming to pick me up, and it's taking you this long. Won't your boss have a problem with that when we get back?"

"This relates to my second task."

Seeing his wife roll her eyes, Chen Fusheng stopped trying to keep her in suspense and smiled, saying, "My second task is to write the script for my next film."

Chen Fusheng returned by train. Bored on the way, he kept thinking about all sorts of things. So, while on the train, he already had a rough idea of ​​what his next film would be.

Thinking that his wife might also be playing the female lead in the next movie, he subconsciously asked, "Honey, would you like to act?"

"What's the play?"

"The female lead in my next film."

Upon hearing that it was the female lead role, Liu Xiaoli didn't even ask what the role was before decisively refusing: "I won't act in it."

Actually, if Chen Fusheng had asked her this question before filming "The Tuner," Liu Xiaoli would have hesitated and struggled. However, after witnessing how actors acted on the set of "The Tuner," she realized that being a professional actor was not suitable for her.

In addition, her daughter is only eight months old, and her main focus is on taking care of her daughter. She doesn't have much time to think about a role, so when she heard that it was the female lead, she refused without even thinking.

Chen Fusheng didn't offer any further advice.

Actually, he just had a sudden thought and asked the question on a whim, and then regretted it a little afterward.

Hearing his wife's attitude towards acting, he felt inexplicably relieved.

Because as a man, one is bound to have some degree of male chauvinism.

He is also included.

Although Liu Xiaoli didn't want to play the lead role in her husband's next film, she was still quite curious about the story.

So he asked, "Brother Sheng, what are you planning to film next?"

"It's still a suspenseful mystery movie."

Looking at his wife's curious eyes, Chen Fusheng said helplessly, "You'll know when I finish writing it. Right now, I only have some inspiration in my mind, and there are still many details that need to be perfected."

"Okay, then good luck, honey." Liu Xiaoli wasn't one to make a fuss unnecessarily, and seeing her husband say that, she could only suppress her curiosity for the time being.

Chen Fusheng had planned to start writing the next morning, but after a brief separation last night, he and his wife stayed up half the night and he couldn't get up this morning.

So he didn't sit down at his desk and start creating until the afternoon.

The story he wanted to film was called "The Devotion of Suspect X".

This is a novel by Keigo Higashino, which was serialized in "ALL Reading" in 2003 and was adapted into a Japanese film in 08.

Because of its significant influence, universal appeal, and portability, coupled with its blend of commercial and artistic elements, this film has been remade in South Korea, my country, and India.

After careful consideration, Chen Fusheng has decided to make this film his directorial debut.

Uh……

It seems like "The Tuner" is the one.

Okay, so this film, The Devotion of Suspect X, will be his directorial debut.
