My Life with Narration

Chapter 644: Chapter 635: Did You Poop on the Scale?

To be honest, Director Teng doesn’t really have experience directing sci-fi films. Actually, not many domestic directors have experience in directing sci-fi films. After all, the sci-fi genre in the country has always been lackluster, and every film made results in a loss. Even if there are experienced directors, it’s mostly experience in making bad films.

So everyone is just feeling their way through, taking steps in the dark. Wang Fan is no exception. At the beginning, he didn’t know how to shoot either. Everyone on the set contributed ideas and gradually figured things out.

Fortunately, this time he succeeded. With the explosive success of "Wandering Earth," he is now one of the few directors in the country with successful experience in directing sci-fi films. Nowadays, when anyone mentions sci-fi film directors, he’s the first person that comes to mind.

Among a group of short people, one who stands out as a general. Even if Wang Fan has only succeeded with one film, his experience still surpasses that of many domestic directors in directing sci-fi films.

Moreover, with this experience, the next shoot will be easier. After all, with more experience, investments will be secured, and things will naturally go more smoothly.

And some people who aren’t self-aware might think, "We’re all directors. If you can do it, so can I." True, there may be some directors who will emerge successful in the sci-fi genre, but failure will still be the main trend.

Even Wang Fan himself admits that there’s some luck involved this time. Whenever he hits a dead end, he always comes up with a way out.

But only he knows the extent of the pressure he bore. If he hadn’t mortgaged his house and car, he wouldn’t have made it to the day Su Qing invested. The crew might have disbanded long ago.

The next day, at Baihua Creation Scenery, on Tang Nan’s floor.

"Hey, did you see that? It’s Su Qing! He really showed up in the capital. And he said he wasn’t here to meet President Tang. See, the entertainment industry is full of lies."

"What Su Qing? He’s also a capital player in the entertainment circle, a behind-the-scenes investor. I’ve heard he’s setting up a studio in our company. We might be calling him President Su in the future."

"Really? Who did you hear that from?"

"Do I even need to say? Did you see that office area to the south? President Tang has already sectioned it off for him as a studio. I heard it from someone close to President Tang. It’s not announced yet, so don’t go spreading it."

"Don’t worry, am I the kind to blurt things out?"

But within ten minutes, this girl was already whispering to another female colleague,

"Did you hear? Su Qing is getting married to our President Tang?"

"Married? You’re lying, right?"

"Why would I lie to you? They’ve even moved the company here. Maybe President Tang is already pregnant. They haven’t scheduled any announcements from Tang’s side, most likely preparing for the baby!"

"This gossip is explosive. Pass it on, President Tang is rumored to be expecting twins, planning to stop all business activities this year to focus on nurturing the pregnancy and preparing for childbirth!"

"Pass it on, President Tang’s child is already three years old!"

...

Gossiping is in human nature, especially among women. And since Tang Nan is a big star in the entertainment industry, the employees here naturally know their boss.

But it’s not to the extent that they’d get starstruck or paralyzed at the sight of a celebrity. Gossip still can’t be avoided.

Every time there’s online news about Tang Nan, the company employees get particularly excited.

Last night, the news that Su Qing appeared at the Capital Airport and met with Director Wang Fan of "Wandering Earth" had already been reported.

Although it didn’t make the headlines or trending topics, the view count was still quite substantial, with news platforms pushing various releases.

Besides the rumored news about a second installment of "Wandering Earth," what caught the most attention was Su Qing’s sudden appearance in the capital and its implications.

And because the gossip between the two is still topical, even if its intensity has waned, it still arouses people’s imagination and curiosity.

Coincidentally, this morning, company employees saw their President Tang and Su Qing coming to the company together, chatting and laughing. How could people not be curious about the nature of their relationship?

In Tang Nan’s office, Su Qing’s face seemingly bore the words "I’m so sleepy" as he lay on the sofa with an exhausted demeanor.

Of course, it wasn’t because of any physical deficiency. He drank until late last night, got drunk, and vomited a lot upon returning. In contrast, Tang Nan brought him back and tossed him into the room before leaving.

This morning, he hadn’t fully woken up before Tang Nan forcibly woke him and brought him to the company.

Why did he come to the company? He’s not an employee here, and his matters at his own company are still pending. He just needs to wait for approval now.

Additionally, Wang Fan has begun reaching out to directors within his circle, suggesting they gather sometime and share the news. If they have projects but need investment, they could try here.

I have to say, this news is quite impactful. Film investment companies do exist, but most are subsidiaries of entertainment companies.

The resources are mostly consumed internally, and they barely escape. Even if there’s extra, they use it to negotiate for roles for their artists.

If any slip through, those actors bringing funds to the table give directors a headache, making it quite challenging.

So when everyone heard there was an independent film investment company, they were very interested. At least on the surface, they see it as an independent investor, contributing money to profit from films.

When funds are equal, these directors would prefer such investment. More money means fewer demands and no creative interference.

It’s similar to some directors preferring to get sponsorship from coal mine bosses; apart from seeking actresses or escorts, they never interfere with the shooting, ensuring safety measures are in place.

So even though it’s only been one night, a fair number of directors in the capital have received the message. Again, this is partly thanks to Wang Fan enabling them to openly share the news.

Otherwise, any director who learns of such a message wouldn’t voluntarily share it. After all, even investors have limited funds. What if someone else secures them and they don’t?

Nevertheless, even within one night, a considerable number of directors acquired the news.

"Ah~~~"

A moan suddenly came from Tang Nan’s office, quite languid.

Upon hearing it, Su Qing tiredly opened his eyes and saw Tang Nan walking out from the bathroom, holding her belly with a somewhat pained expression.

"You wouldn’t be suffering from overexertion, would you? I’m telling you, I warned you last night about eating too much of those mushrooms. You wouldn’t listen. Who knows if they were even from Yunnan!" Su Qing sneered.

That morning, Tang Nan was already experiencing stomach issues and had visited the restroom three times at the company.

Since last year, after having some mushrooms from a netizen in Yunnan, he swore off them. Not cooked thoroughly? That’s an excuse. As long as I don’t eat them, I won’t get poisoned.

"Get lost, mind your own business. It’s just an upset stomach, it will be fine after some medicine. I even brought you back yesterday; I should’ve left you at the hotel," Tang Nan retorted, rolling her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing sat up and patted his face, attempting to refresh himself, then looked at Tang Nan clutching her stomach and asked, "Does it hurt a lot? Should we go to the hospital?"

"Uh... It’s not that bad!"

"If it doesn’t hurt, why clutch your stomach and grit your teeth?"

"I’m not uncomfortable because of my stomach, but..."

"But what?"

"After going to the restroom three times, why does my weight remain the same?"

Su Qing: ...

He truly couldn’t comprehend her thought process. Even with diarrhea, she’s thinking about losing weight?

Are women really so obsessed with their weight?

Thinking of this, he puckered his lips in disdain and asked, "Did you weigh yourself on the scale?"

Tang Nan: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

"You weighed yourself on it! Go to hell!"
