Chapter 18: A Challenge Before "One Man's Martial Arts" Starts Filming!
Time flew by.
The Wei Mi couple spent the New Year in Hong Kong Island!
Their relationship grew even more harmonious, truly a picture of lovebirds. In just ten days, Yang Mi even gained a little weight.
Thinking about joining the "One Man's Martial Arts" crew after the New Year, Yang Mi couldn't help but feel a headache!
…
“Honey, tell your mom to stop feeding me. I’ve gained weight.”
In the master bedroom, Yang Mi, wearing her pajamas, rubbed her tummy and spoke to Liu Wei.
“Don’t worry, we still have three days before joining the crew. Starting tomorrow, I’ll help you shape up and lose weight. Plus, I’ll teach you some basic skills to enhance your action performance!”
Said Liu Wei.
“You think you can make me lose weight in three days? That’s crazy!”
Yang Mi couldn't believe it.
“Honey, is your husband awesome?”
“You’re so annoying~”
“See, since your husband is so awesome, why can’t he do it? Just cooperate with me, and you’ll be fine.”
…
Li Mi Ying went upstairs to deliver tonics. Soon, noises came from her son and daughter-in-law's room, making her smile brightly.
Her son was truly gifted, the Liu family genes were exceptional.
Given her son's abilities, holding her grandson in her arms was just around the corner.
…
“Why are you back down here?”
After finishing a video conference and returning to the living room from his study, Liu Qing Ji found his wife back, and the tonic soup in her hand was still untouched.
“They’re busy making a baby.”
Li Mi Ying smiled.
“Haha…”
Liu Qing Ji laughed after hearing that.
“Stop laughing. Didn’t our son teach us the body forging technique a few days ago? We should practice it too. Don’t let yourself go. I feel it's very effective.”
Li Mi Ying said.
“Yeah, I need to hold a grandson, so I must practice. However, A Wei and Mi Mi will be going to Southeast Asia to film in a few days. It’s not Hong Kong Island, so I have to add some security to protect them.”
Liu Qing Ji said.
“You don’t understand. Our son said we don’t need to be that high-profile. He's been practicing martial arts since childhood, and he's so strong. Nothing will happen.”
“You don’t know anything! Even the strongest martial artist can be taken down by a kitchen knife!”
“…”
…
Three days passed in a flash.
During these three days, Liu Wei stayed at the Liu family’s Shallow Water Bay villa, training Yang Mi.
Losing weight was just a side effect. The most important thing was for her to understand the basic principles of martial arts and perform the moves better…
Although he wasn’t aiming to make her a master, becoming a regular action actress wouldn’t be a problem.
In short, Liu Wei wanted to let his wife break into the silver screen as a martial arts heroine. Once she became a hit, he would arrange exclusive films for her, solidify her foundation, and firmly establish her in the film industry.
…
“Dad, Mom, Mi Mi and I are going to Southeast Asia. After the film wraps, we’ll head back to mainland China directly.”
Liu Wei bid farewell to Liu Qing Ji and Li Mi Ying.
The body forging technique had brought about a qualitative leap in his elderly father's energy and spirit, which made Liu Wei very satisfied.
“Go ahead. I’ve arranged bodyguards in Southeast Asia. They will be there to pick you up.”
Liu Qing Ji said.
Liu Wei wanted to refuse, but after thinking for a moment, he agreed. After all, he was an only child, the sole heir to Liu's investment group, so they naturally worried about his safety.
“Dad, Mom, we’ll be back during the summer vacation.”
Yang Mi said.
“Then we’ll wait for you to come back.”
Li Mi Ying said.
…
After leaving the Shallow Water Bay villa, the Wei Mi couple rushed to the airport to meet up with the main cast and crew, including Chen De Sen and Zhen Zi Dan.
They then boarded a flight directly to M City in Southeast Asia!
Chen De Sen had already scouted out the location beforehand. The filming locations were also arranged, and everything was planned. All they had to do was follow the plan.
As they walked out of the airport, Liu Wei called his father's people to send a few female bodyguards to protect his wife, Yang Mi. He didn’t want anyone else to come and protect him.
He didn’t want to be surrounded by a bunch of people all the time, it was too flashy.
…
The "One Man's Martial Arts" crew hotel.
At this moment, Zhang Li, who had arrived earlier and completed her joining procedures, was sitting in the lounge area.
Besides her, there was another person, Xie Miao, a former child star!
In his younger years, Xie Miao had starred in movies with Kung Fu Li and become a household name, but due to mismanaged career planning, he chose to go to school during the golden age of Hong Kong film, changing his destiny.
He had been struggling to make ends meet in third and fourth-tier productions, living a very difficult and frugal life.
Just when he thought his future was bleak, he received a call from Zeng Jia, the general manager of Wei Mi Media, who signed him directly.
Then, a role was arranged for him…
He then flew to M City in Southeast Asia with Zhang Li!
It all felt like a dream.
After all, "One Man's Martial Arts" was a big-budget production, costing 250 million!
“Xie Miao ge, your basic skills are still there, right?”
Zhang Li asked Xie Miao with a smile.
Although Xie Miao had been out of the game for many years, Liu Wei had personally selected him, so Zhang Li didn’t dare to be arrogant.
This showed that Zhang Li was a clear-headed person.
“I won’t disappoint the boss.”
Xie Miao grinned.
He had to seize this opportunity, he couldn’t let the two bosses of Wei Mi down.
After all, this opportunity was hard-earned!
Just then, a group of people entered the hotel lobby in a grand procession. The leading man was tall and strong, with a charming and glamorous woman by his side. They were laughing and chatting, clearly the center of attention of the group.
“Wei ge and Mi Mi are here.”
Zhang Li immediately greeted them.
Xie Miao also stood up and greeted them.
“You’re just in time. Let me formally introduce you. This is Director Chen De Sen, and this is Zi Dan ge.”
Liu Wei introduced.
“I recognize you, Xie Miao!”
Zhen Zi Dan smiled at Xie Miao.
Xie Miao was almost forgotten from his memory, but he hadn't expected Liu Wei to bring him back.
“Work hard on the film, let’s make this project a success together!”
Chen De Sen said.
“Let’s go, let’s check in.”
Liu Wei said.
…
The Wei Mi couple naturally stayed in the same room, though it was a bit shabby. Still, it was the best room in the hotel.
They couldn't help it, the money had to be spent wisely. With Liu Wei and Zhen Zi Dan personally footing the bill, they were naturally careful with their finances.
So although the film had a high budget, anyone who wanted to leech off of it wouldn’t be able to.
There were three sides supervising!
“Honey, you gave remote guidance to Zhang Li, right? I’ll call her over now and have her show us her progress. Let’s see how your student’s doing, don’t let her drag us down.”
Yang Mi said.
“Honey, are you trying to show your authority?”
Liu Wei asked with a smile.
“Honey, you underestimate me. Everyone is working for the company's development. We invest resources in her, so she has to work hard. If she’s just slacking off, then we’ll replace her.”
Yang Mi said.
“Alright, call her over.”
Liu Wei said.
Yang Mi was about to call Zhang Li when…
A knock came at the door.
Yang Mi went to open it.
“Wei di, someone wants to challenge you!”
Zhen Zi Dan’s face was grim.
“Challenge my husband?”
Yang Mi was stunned. “They’re crazy. We haven’t even started filming, and they’re coming to challenge us? Aren’t they trying to sabotage us?”
“The other party has been famous for a long time, they’re no small fry.”
Zhen Zi Dan said.
“Who is it?”
Liu Wei asked.
