Chapter 118: He Didn’t Even Let the House Downstairs Go

“You win, Yun Xiangxiang . We won’t talk about this on the phone . Next time we meet, we’ll sort this all out,” Song Meng left that message and hung up .

Yun Xiangxiang shook her head in amusement . She walked over to Song Mian’s side, “When’s the next time you’ll be back?”

“As soon as possible,” Song Mian didn’t give a definite answer . ”

“When you come back, I will introduce you to my girlfriends,” said Yun Xiangxiang .

“I’m both happy and honored,” Song Mian nodded in agreement .

If one really likes someone, one would introduce that person into their own circle of friends .

Everyone would want their significant other to be acknowledged by their friends .

“Do you…have friends?” Yun Xiangxiang hesitated before asking . “Friends since you were kids . ”

Song Mian was a king that stood at the apex . Kings were destined to bear the weight of loneliness .

“Of course,” Song Mian’s answer was unexpected . “But it’s hard to get all of them to gather in one place . I will call all of them back to see you when they have time .

“What are they working as?” Yun Xiangxiang asked dryly . She thought that Song Mian’s friends would be exceptional too .

Friends who could be brothers must possess similar levels of abilities even though there would be a difference in status . Or else they wouldn’t be friends .

“One’s a soldier, another’s a barbarian,” Song Mian was horrifyingly curt .

“Hehehe…,” Yun Xiangxiang simpered . “And you go around telling everyone you’re a doctor . ”

“I am a doctor,” Song Mian didn’t think that he was lying .

Yun Xiangxiang rolled her eyes . She didn’t ask anything about the first one, but she was curious about the second one, “Barbarian? What’s that supposed to mean?”

“In his words: a great explorer,” Song Mian explained .

She knew it . Only filthy rich people who had too much time on their hands could be an explorer .

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t continue enquiring . Anything else would be made known when they meet . Besides, dinner was ready . Yun Xiangxiang called Yun Lin over to have dinner together . She even finished a lot of homework at Song Mian’s house . Anything she couldn’t understand, she would ask him .

She stayed in his house until nine thirty, then she went back to practice and shower . It was ten thirty when she went to her bed and slept happily .

Song Mian poured his heart out in making her breakfast the next morning again . It was still varied but small in portion .

Yun Xiangxiang chatted with him for a while after breakfast . She looked at how skillful he was in handling his work . He Wei came to pick her up at around ten . She took Song Qian together with her and left Yun Lin with Song Mian before going to see Wu Zhao .

“The King’s Plan” would not be shot in Beijing . The shooting was very sophisticated . Most of them would have real life venues as background . They would only make the place up if they really couldn’t find the corresponding spot in real life .

Wu Zhao stayed in Beijing over these few days for some reason . Maybe he was handpicking the acting staff . He was particularly busy, so they reserved a spot at a restaurant .

Wu Zhao was already there when they arrived . A classy woman who looked around forty was sitting beside him .

She was in a cheongsam . Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t exactly describe how she was sitting . She only stared at her like she was someone who came out from a painting, and was as elegant as it .

Her faint smile when she saw Yun Xiangxiang and He Wei coming over was especially beautiful and graceful .

“We are late . Sorry for letting you wait, Director Wu,” He Wei spoke cordially .

“It’s us who came early . Have a seat,” Wu Zhao asked both of them to sit .

He asked the waiter to serve the dishes after they sat down and introduced both sides, “This here is Teacher Guan . She is a master who specializes in researching classical writing and etiquette . I am hiring her as your trainer . ”

“Hello, Teacher Guan . I’ll be in your care after this,” Yun Xiangxiang greeted her politely .

“Such a pretty little girl,” Guan Zi praised Yun Xiangxiang .

Her voice was really nice to listen to . It wasn’t because of the timbre, but rather it was her tone and tempo . It was light and slow, but not mushy at all .

It was as comfortable as being visited by the spring breeze while listening to her .

“You’re a lady with her own mind . I’ll let you arrange Teacher Guan’s schedule for this month . Learn about etiquette anytime you want to . ”

Wu Zhao was very generous, “I don’t look at the process, only the results . I won’t use you if you can’t reach the target after a month .

“I understand . ” Yun Xiangxiang nodded .

“Also, I have said that I never make an exception for anyone,” Wu Zhao continued .

He turned the direction of the conversation when he saw Yun Xiangxiang getting nervous, “I give all of my acting staff a month’s time of training . If you need to leave for exams, you only have twenty-five days to complete your task . ”

“Of course, if you can meet my expectations in ten days, I will allow you twenty days of leave during shooting,” He added after he finished .

Yun Xiangxiang’s eyes lit up, “Thank you, Director Wu . ”

Everyone said that Wu Zhao was very fussy, but she didn’t expect him to give her so much leeway .

As she was arranging the schedule, she could stay in school for an extra month . She would slot the training periods on the weekends or during night time .

Putting reaching the target in ten days aside, she would have ten days of leave if she could reach it in twenty days if she worked diligently . It would be enough to handle emergencies .

Wu Zhao nodded, “Tuck in . You’ll have to discuss the arrangements with Teacher Guan after you finish . ”

It was a silent meal, since Guan Zi looked like a noble lady who would keep quiet and calm at all times .

Wu Zhao didn’t even take a breath after he finished his meal . He straight up took his coat and left .

When Yun Xiangxiang was sending him away, he turned around and reminded, “This film of mine will record the voices on the spot . There will be no re-recording . Figure out the script yourself . ”

This would be quite the trial for the skill of portrayal of lines .

The male and female leads would usually have a lot of lines in a film . Memorizing them would be easy . Displaying the accurate emotion while not deviating from the lines during filming was what was hard .

If the voice would be recorded there and then, then it would not only be a trial for emotion and line portrayal . They would have to figure out the tone, timbre, and the character’s mood perfectly .

One false step would be all it took for a redo .

Most people wouldn’t do this . The most they would do would be to let the acting staff dub it after shooting . It would save a lot of budget .

But the point about this film was that it not only had a director who had an impossibly high standard, but a screenwriter who was a perfectionist as well…

Yun Xiangxiang kept her spirits up and demanded a lot from herself to avoid getting reprimanded .

Yun Xiangxiang talked with Guan Zi after she sent Wu Zhao away . She asked the rough scope of her training .

If nothing would happen, then it would include idle etiquette, sitting etiquette, standing etiquette, walking etiquette, speaking etiquette…

Yun Xiangxiang made a note for all of them . Guan Zi nodded surreptitiously when she saw her doing that .

“Teacher Guan, I’ll take a look at my classes’ schedule after I go back to make a schedule for the training . I’ll WeChat you at night . ”

“Of course,” Guan Zi would prioritize Yun Xiangxiang’s schedule for everything .

She chatted with Guan Zi for a while before leaving with He Wei when she found out that she still needed to wait for a friend .

She sought Song Mian out immediately after she got home to talk about her idea with him, “Ah Mian, can I let Little Lin live here? I want to invite the etiquette trainer to my house .

It would be convenient for her training and would save time too .

Song Mian smiled, “I bought the house on the floor beneath yours too . ”
