Chapter 908: Wrapping Up Successfully!
Jiang Mingchuan, after a busy day, also returned home.
Lately, his relationship with Jiang Bufan and Jiang Buchen has grown much closer.
So whenever he has some free time, he goes home to strengthen the bonds with his two children.
As soon as he opens the door, he waves the items in his hand.
"Bufan, Buchen, see what fun thing Dad has brought back?"
In his hand is a small sugar figure.
Jiang Buchen doesn't move, but Jiang Bufan quickly runs up.
"It looks great, is it for me?"
"Of course it is."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle."
Jiang Mingchuan: "..."
"It's Dad."
"Okay, Dad Uncle."
Meng Wanzhi hesitated, then finally stepped forward and handed the business card Jiang Li gave her to Jiang Mingchuan, telling him about the endorsement matter.
Jiang Mingchuan laughed heartily a few times and hugged Jiang Bufan, saying, "As expected of my precious son, so full of potential!"
Meng Wanzhi was silent for a moment.
"After all, they are your children too, what do you think?"
"I have no objections," Jiang Mingchuan looked at her, "as long as they are happy, they can do whatever they want."
Jiang Buchen glanced at Jiang Mingchuan, immediately taking the opportunity to speak, "Dad, actually, I want to go."
Meng Wanzhi looked at him in disbelief.
Jiang Buchen then timidly said, "I heard from sister that it seems to be a lot of fun, and you can meet a lot of new friends, plus there's a lot of money, I want to earn lots and lots of money for Dad and Mom."
Jiang Mingchuan was very pleased and held his face to kiss him, "Still my eldest son is sensible, but Dad doesn't want your money, nor do you need to earn money, if you want anything just ask Dad."
Meng Wanzhi looked a bit grave, "Why, Jiang Buchen, don't you want to go to school?"
"But Mom, being an endorser and going to school shouldn't conflict, right?"
Jiang Mingchuan also saw Meng Wanzhi's concerns and patted her on the back, sending the two children to play elsewhere.
"Wanzhi, have you been a bit too anxious these days? Don't worry about school matters, I'll figure out a solution for those schools."
"There are several old employees in the company whose kids went to that kindergarten, I've consulted them already, although the demands are high, since there are still two or three months before school starts, getting them to pass the entrance tests isn't entirely impossible."
Meng Wanzhi was very surprised, this was the first time in so long that Jiang Mingchuan discussed matters concerning the two kids with her.
Previously, he was always too busy with work to ever care about their situation.
What's happened now?
Jiang Mingchuan noticed Meng Wanzhi's surprise and felt somewhat ashamed.
"I was too neglectful before, but rest assured, if you encounter anything in the future, just let me know, I'll do my best to give you and them the best life possible."
Meng Wanzhi bit her lip and lowered her head, lost in thought.
When she raised her head, Jiang Mingchuan had already left the room and went next door.
So far, they have been sleeping in separate rooms.
They hardly even saw each other a few times a month before.
Jiang Mingchuan would leave early, come back late, and just collapse drunkenly in bed without waking until the next day when he would leave early again.
Recently, he has not only reduced his social engagements but has also spent a lot of time with the two kids.
Life at the Jiang Family has become less difficult for her.
Perhaps this is what Jiang Li meant by "after a dark willow, another village comes into view"?
…
…
Nancheng Film and Television Base.
"Okay, the last scene, cut!"
With the sound of Shao Changqing's voice, applause and cheers erupted around.
"Great, so great!"
"It's finally over!"
"Congratulations on the wrap!"
Not far away, Jiang Li brought a bouquet of fresh flowers and handed them to Shao Changqing.
"Congratulations on the wrap."
Shao Changqing excitedly accepted the flowers, tears almost streaming down his face.
"Thank you, Miss Jiang, thank you, Miss Jiang."
Strictly speaking, "Doomsday Beehive" was the first film he ever directed.
It has been almost a year since it started, and now finally it's completed, of course, he was very excited.
He also has a premonition that this film will definitely be a big hit.
The last scene was a fight scene between Jiang Yan and Luo Xingmu.
The two were suspended in the air with wires, engaging in a thrilling fight that ultimately ended with Jiang Yan's tragic defeat.
The crew worked together to bring the two down, and as soon as Jiang Yan landed, he complained:
"Damn, Luo Xingmu you actually meant it! That punch just now almost made me spit real blood!"
Luo Xingmu stuck out his tongue apologetically and immediately went to pat his chest, "Sorry sorry, it was for the sake of the effect."
Bai Lu on the side: "Eww~~"
Can't bear to look, can't bear to look.
Shang Shuyue came forward, wiping the prop blood on his face with a towel, then roughly tossed a water bottle into his hand.
"Drink up, Director Shao is treating us tonight, we're all meeting at the hotel in a bit."
It's rare for everyone to be gathered, so Shao Changqing generously booked a whole hotel for the cast's celebration banquet.
At the banquet he drank several cups of wine, before getting up unsteadily.
The people nearby immediately clapped, "Everyone, quiet, Director Shao has something to say."
Shao Changqing, being somewhat shy, scratched his head awkwardly.
"Everyone continue eating and drinking, I just want to say a few words."
"We've all come a long way, it hasn't been easy for anyone, especially in the early stages when facing all kinds of skepticism, I'm deeply grateful for everyone sticking with me till now. This drink is to the entire crew."
"Cheers!"
"Director Shao, you're too kind!"
"Well said, Director Shao!"
Shao Changqing finished his first drink and poured himself a second.
Then he looked towards Jiang Li, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Miss Jiang is my only savior, without her, 'Doomsday Beehive' couldn't have been completed so soon, nor would it have had the chance to be released."
"I can't thank Miss Jiang enough for her immense support, and as long as Miss Jiang needs anything, just let me know, Shao Changqing will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Jiang Li raised her glass, giving a polite nod.
"You're too kind, Director Shao. I'll be waiting for the box office to explode."
"Cheers!"
The dinner concluded as night fell.
Jiang Yan hadn't had time to pack up his things from the set when he eagerly followed Jiang Li out.
"Finally, I don't have to stay in that shabby place anymore, so good." He said, putting his arm around Jiang Li's shoulder, "The summer break has started, and I've wrapped up my work too. Why don't we find a chance to ask Qi and the others to travel abroad together?"
"No," Jiang Li said while scrolling through her phone, "I have some things to do recently, I can't leave for now."
"What else do you have to do?" Jiang Yan folded his arms, "The filming is finished, you've completed your college entrance exams, Mom's studio is also booming, what else do you have to busy yourself with?"
