190: Chapter 190 (Part 1) Exile to Blue Star Part 2: The Ice Age!

Days passed by one after another.

Xu Hao's daily life followed a fixed three-point route: the workshop, the office, and the dormitory.

It was monotonous and a bit boring.

The only thing different was that the weather had been quite bad lately.

On Changxing Island, it rained heavily from time to time, the sea breeze howled, and seawater backflowed, surging onto the roads again and again.

Sanitation workers cleaned up the trash washed onto the flower beds over and over again.

In the office.

Xu Hao and Zhang Weizhi sat on the sofa chatting.

Through their time together, the two had gradually become familiar with each other.

"There is another typhoon tonight!"

Zhang Weizhi looked at the weather forecast on his phone and gave a helpless, bitter smile.

"Which typhoon is this for this month?"

Xu Hao asked jokingly.

"If I remember correctly, this is the fifth one..."

"Uh..." Xu Hao had thought there were at most two or three, but he didn't expect it to be the fifth already.

"Does Changxing Island often experience this kind of weather in previous years?"

Xu Hao asked.

Zhang Weizhi shook his head.

"No, this kind of weather this year is the first time in decades."

"In previous years at this time, let alone typhoons, even force-five winds were very rare on Changxing Island."

"I don't know what's going on this year; typhoons are coming one after another!"

Zhang Weizhi felt a bit helpless, then smiled and added:

"Changxing Island is considered lucky. Look at Japan; every typhoon cuts right through the island, ravaging the entire territory, and the wind force is almost always above force six."

"Just this past week, Japan has experienced three typhoons, one of which was even a force seven."

Xu Hao lifted his eyes slightly.

"Japan? Then it's fine... They should be thankful that the snow-covered volcano hasn't erupted; that is already the greatest mercy for them."

Xu Hao said indifferently.

Xu Hao had no affection for Japan whatsoever.

Therefore, regarding what Zhang Weizhi said about Japan encountering multiple major typhoons in the past few days, he felt nothing at all.

The blood feud is irreconcilable!

In Xu Hao's heart, there was always a scale.

Zhang Weizhi chatted with Xu Hao for a while, then took a call and went out to take care of business.

Xu Hao looked at the seascape with the howling sea breeze, speechless in his heart.

After a while, the phone on the table rang.

Xu Hao picked it up and saw that it was actually Director Guo Fan, whom he hadn't been in touch with for a long time.

His eyes lit up instantly.

"Could it be that the movie spearheaded by the authorities is ready to start filming?"

Xu Hao immediately swiped the answer button.

"Hello, Director Guo..."

Xu Hao greeted him.

"Chairman Xu, I hope you have been well since we last met. How have you been lately?"

Director Guo Fan's familiar voice rang out from the phone.

"Everything is well, I've just been missing Director Guo."

Xu Hao joked.

"Hahaha... I didn't expect Chairman Xu to be fond of joking as well."

Director Guo Fan laughed.

"Director Guo calling me, is it about the movie?" Xu Hao asked directly.

He poured himself a cup of hot tea.

"Chairman Xu, you really are prescient. That's right, it is about the movie."

Director Guo Fan replied.

"Is the air combat movie about to start filming?"

Xu Hao continued to ask.

Upon hearing this, Director Guo Fan shook his head slightly, denying it.

"That's not it."

"Oh? So much time has passed, and it still hasn't started filming?"

Xu Hao was a bit puzzled.

This movie, spearheaded by the authorities to promote the Dragon Country's fighter jet, had already been over three months, and it still hadn't started filming?

The efficiency was just too low.

Director Guo Fan gave a bitter smile.

"I also want to finish filming this movie as soon as possible so I can shoot my next project."

"But I don't know why. Originally, the authorities intended to officially launch and start filming last month, but then they suddenly changed their minds temporarily, saying it had to be postponed."

"To this day, they still haven't given me any reply, and I don't know when it will be able to start filming."

It was clear that Director Guo Fan was a bit dissatisfied.

This couldn't be blamed on Director Guo Fan.

It was the authorities who had taken the initiative to invite Director Guo Fan to film this air combat movie promoting the fighter jet.

Now, it was a mess; the authorities had stood him up, causing Director Guo Fan to be idle for this period. He couldn't film his own movie, but he couldn't not film it either; it was extremely awkward.

"Did they say what it was because of?"

Xu Hao asked with a frown.

Director Guo Fan shook his head, "No."

"The contact person from the Publicity Department just told me that the superiors had very urgent matters to deal with, so the filming work was postponed."

"As for the specific date of the postponement, it will be notified separately."

Speaking to the end, Director Guo Fan laughed helplessly.

"If it weren't for the fact that the other party is the Publicity Department, I would have quit long ago."

"It's just a pity, sigh..."

Director Guo Fan let out a long sigh.

In the sigh, all helplessness and powerlessness were expressed.

A higher-ranking official can crush you.

What's more, the other party is the Publicity Department, which manages movies, TV series, and other film and television works.

Director Guo Fan absolutely dared not offend them!

Xu Hao smiled lightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

As a researcher, it wasn't appropriate for him to intervene in the matter between Director Guo Fan and the Publicity Department.

It was better to leave it to them to solve it themselves!

"Then why did you call me today? It wouldn't just be to vent your frustrations, would it?"

Xu Hao said.

"Oh, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten!"

Director Guo Fan slapped his forehead, immediately remembering the purpose of his call.

"I plan to start working on the second part of The Wandering Earth after I finish filming that air combat movie for the authorities."

Director Guo Fan said.

"The Wandering Earth Part 2?"

Xu Hao's eyes lit up slightly.

Was Director Guo Fan finally going to film the second part?

Calculating the time, it seemed to be about the same as the filming time in his past life.

Director Guo Fan nodded, then briefly introduced the plot of the second part to Xu Hao.

"In the second part of The Wandering Earth, sunspots erupt, and humanity falls into an unprecedented era of the Ice Age catastrophe..."

"Temperatures plummet, cold waves strike, and thousands of miles are frozen."

"In order to resist this catastrophe that would lead to the extinction of humanity, people all over the world unite as one, with a common will."

"Building the Underground Fortress, resource stations, energy platforms... doing their best to overcome the difficulties together, and sparing no effort to continue the Fire Seed Project for humanity..."

"..."

The more Director Guo Fan spoke, the more excited he became, and the louder his voice grew.

Xu Hao was shocked in his heart.

As someone who knew the 'original work' of The Wandering Earth 2, he remembered it very clearly.

The original plot was based on the Mountain Moving Project, leading the entire blue star to be exiled into the universe.

However, now.

Director Guo Fan did not choose to 'exile the blue star', but instead built barriers on their Earth home to continue the Fire Seed Project for humanity.

Such a completely different plot made Xu Hao deeply suspicious:

Was it because of certain factors that led to this development in this parallel world?

Xu Hao didn't think too much about it.

Whether it was the 'Fire Seed Project' or the 'Mountain Moving Project'.

The overall theme of The Wandering Earth had not changed, and that was:

"Let as many humans on the blue star survive as possible!"

Xu Hao raised an eyebrow and gave a thumbs up.

"It sounds stirring, I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Really? With Chairman Xu's words, I have confidence now, hahaha..."

Director Guo Fan was very happy, and then asked a question he was extremely concerned about.

"Is Chairman Xu still willing to provide the corresponding sci-fi props for The Wandering Earth 2?"

Xu Hao didn't even think about it and agreed directly:

"No problem!"

It had nothing to do with anything else; mainly, he was also very interested.

It's just props...

What a simple matter!
