136: Brothers
Just as Han Wen was busy filming, concentrating intently and without distraction, Zhang Yadong suddenly called.
After Han Wen returned Zhang Yadong's call at a nearby public phone booth, he learned that the members of the Beyond band had successfully returned to Japan.
Several people officially began participating in the activity, and everything went smoothly without any unexpected incidents.
Han Wen calculated the time and realized that he seemed to have really changed Huang Jiaju's fate; the other party had actually survived.
However, he didn't feel much excitement; instead, he became somewhat uneasy.
Having been reborn for so long, this was the first time he had interfered with someone else's fate. And it seemed he had succeeded.
Only then did he realize the terror of the reborn and the horror of the prophet.
But what followed was an overwhelming and overwhelming joy. It turned out that I really could defy fate!
He finally used his own hands to turn the gears of fate.
Although he was no longer truly omnipotent like a god, there was no doubt that he became an extraordinary being.
At this moment, Han Wen found it difficult to articulate his feelings; his thoughts were in disarray, and he couldn't even concentrate on filming.
"Ma Xiaojun, where did you run off to? I've been looking for you everywhere!" Big Eyes suddenly rushed out from the side, widening his eyes and asking curiously.
"A friend needed to talk to me, so I went to a public phone booth to return the call," Han Wen replied with a laugh. "Milan, stop staring at me and asking me about everything, okay? Girls shouldn't be so curious, you know?"
In their daily interactions, the two of them imitated the characters in the script. Although they weren't reciting lines, it allowed them to better immerse themselves in the roles.
This makes it easier to get into character and achieve the best performance when filming officially begins.
"I'm older than you, so from now on, don't call me by my name directly, call me 'sister' instead." The big-eyed girl reminded him, "Otherwise, I won't play with you anymore."
"Dream on." Han Wen acted nonchalantly: "Milan, if you become my girlfriend and let me kiss you, I'll call you 'sister'."
"I'm not going to date a scoundrel like you." Big Eyes shook his head.
"Milan, why would you use the word 'dating'?" Hanwen was surprised.
"Ma Xiaojun, don't you know? I'm from Southwest Province!" Big Eyes replied with a smile.
"Do you know where I'm from?" Han Wen asked with a smile, not expecting that the big-eyed guy was actually from his hometown.
"Where else could you be from? You're a local from Jinghua City, right?" the big-eyed man guessed.
"Milan, you're wrong. I'm also from the Southwest Province," Han Wen said in his hometown dialect.
Upon hearing that familiar hometown accent, his big eyes widened in surprise.
She really couldn't accept that a tall man like Han Wen was from the Southwest Province.
Because the average height of men in the Southwest Province is less than 1.7 meters, which is far less than that of Han Wen.
"Ma Xiaojun, if you dare lie to me, I'll never forgive you." The woman with the big eyes still couldn't believe it, wondering if she'd misheard: "You're really not a spoiled brat from the military compound?"
"Milan, don't wrong me. How do I look like a spoiled brat?" Han Wen pretended to be unhappy.
"This movie is about Jinghua City, and I thought you, the male lead, were also from Jinghua City." Big Eyes was surprised: "You brought Ma Xiaojun to life! I thought this was your natural performance."
"Milan, you don't mean to look down on my acting skills, do you?" Han Wen shook his head, somewhat smugly. "Let me tell you, I can get into character anytime now. I am Ma Xiaojun himself. If you don't believe me, we can have a private match."
"You're not trying to take advantage of me, are you, Ma Xiaojun? Let me tell you, that's impossible." Big Eyes laughed heartily, revealing his white teeth, appearing cheerful, generous, and full of youthful energy.
Looking at the woman in front of him, dressed in military uniform, with short hair tied up, wearing a military cap, and with large, slightly upturned eyes, Han Wen felt that she did indeed have bright eyes and a unique, youthful and beautiful temperament.
Unfortunately, for the sake of the role, the actress with big eyes did not grow her hair long or tie it into an alluring braid.
"Milan, I was worried you'd take advantage of me." Han Wen retorted shamelessly, "Who says only girls suffer when boys and girls are together? Boys also face danger and make sacrifices, okay?"
"Ma Xiaojun, no matter what you say, I won't fall for your tricks." The big-eyed man shook his head, refusing to be fooled, and turned to leave.
Han Wen quickly stepped forward and reached out to take the hand of the wide-eyed man: "Milan, I like you."
"Ma Xiaojun, I don't like you. Let go, don't touch me." Big Eyes shook off Han Wen's hand and skipped forward.
Han Wen followed behind, deliberately slowing down to create a certain distance, thus creating a unique effect.
"Oh dear, Han Shao, where have you been? Director Jiang is looking for you." Tao Hong called out to Han Wen as she saw the two of them running happily one after the other.
"I went on a secret date with Milan," Han Wen said, making things up. "Sister Tao Hong, what did Director Jiang want to see me about?"
Big Eyes heard Han Wen talking nonsense and turned to glare at him. However, she still had a smile on her face and wasn't angry.
"Director Jiang suddenly had an inspiration and revised the script. He wants you to come over so he can give you some acting advice." Tao Hong replied with a smile, "You two should go on your date in the evening next time, you have to film during the day."
"If Director Jiang can't find your people, he'll definitely be furious. Han Shao is fine, but Big Eyes will be in big trouble."
"Sister Tao Hong, don't listen to Han Shao's nonsense. We didn't go on a date." The big-eyed girl explained, "You know what? Han Shao is actually from the Southwest Province, the same hometown as me. What a coincidence!"
"Really? What a coincidence. It's a pity I'm from Jiangnan Province; it's difficult to meet a fellow townsman in Jinghua City." Tao Hong was also somewhat surprised.
The three of them chatted and laughed as they quickly returned to the film set. Jiang Wen saw the two of them and gestured for Han Wen to come over.
"Hanwen, brother, I have something to tell you." Jiang Wen waited for Hanwen to come over before saying, "I just revised the script, so some scenes need to be reshot."
"Director Jiang, you're in charge of this production team, no need to consult me." Han Wen smiled.
"The production schedule keeps getting delayed, and we're using more and more film. By then, the crew might not have enough funds," Jiang Wen said, frowning.
Han Wen knew that the other party had specifically sought him out, and it wasn't just for acting advice. Sure enough, it was for money.
"If you don't have enough money, I'll make up the difference. Time is no problem; slow and steady wins the race." Han Wen laughed, "Brother Jiang, this is your first film as a director. As your younger brother, I'll support you even if it means selling everything I own."
Having already spent a million US dollars, Hanwen didn't mind continuing to invest.
Little did he know that the film would not only have its final investment far exceed his budget, but the filming schedule would also be delayed for several months.
"Yeah, little brother, you're a good brother." Jiang Wen nodded, relieved: "In this life, we're brothers, blood brothers. I'll always protect you."
