90: Xu Chu? Whose subordinate is this?

The Assistant Director immediately brought the news to the Yu Min.

While Li Xiuwu was resting in a chair, he saw Lin Cong walking over.

"Xiuwu." Lin Cong was all smiles. "I heard you composed a song."

"It was just a chance creation." Since Li Xiuwu had already brought it out, he had no intention of refusing.

"I think the melody and lyrics of your song are quite suitable for our TV series. Do you think you could authorize us to use it?" Lin Cong didn't beat around the bush and asked him directly.

"I basically agree, but for the song's copyright, you'll need to talk to my company." Li Xiuwu smiled and nodded. The authorization fee might not be much, but the copyright must be clear.

Lin Cong frowned slightly. In this era, people weren't very serious about copyright. Often, the use of works was only based on verbal agreements, leading to many copyright disputes later on.

In the afternoon, Li Xiuwu's scenes officially began filming. Since Li Xiuwu had taught her to sing in the morning, Yang Zi was no longer so constrained.

After the first shot was finished, Lin Cong couldn't help but marvel: "Li Xiuwu's acting is consummate. He has a relatively mature personality, but his portrayal of an honest, Three-Good Student with a bit of teenage chuunibyou is handled very well. It really has that greenness of a middle school student."

His second scene was filmed in a room. This room was actually a set built in a studio, not an actual apartment building.

Yang Zi pushed open the door and walked in. Li Xiuwu appeared at the door, his fingers clenching and unclenching, looking ill at ease, standing at the door not daring to walk inside.

"Let me introduce, this is..." Yang Zi performed this part of the scene. Seeing Li Xiuwu hadn't come in, she went over and pulled him into the room.

"This is my boyfriend, Wild Boy." Yang Zi stood beside Li Xiuwu and introduced him.

Li Xiuwu showed the awkwardness of a top student, then suddenly took a step forward and made an exaggerated movement. He opened his mouth and sang loudly.

"My love, ha! Is like a fire. Ha! Burning the whole desert, hahaha!"

"Cut." The Yu Min called out.

"Gao Yalin, you should look startled, then confused and dazed; Song Dan should be startled first, then show shock."

"Everyone else is fine, let's do it again." Lin Cong quickly pointed out the shortcomings of this performance.

Li Xiuwu and Yang Zi stepped out of the room to reshoot.

Sitcoms are a bit special because they use fixed cameras, so there's basically no need to rearrange the set.

In the next shot, Li Xiuwu took out a rose and presented it to Yang Zi, saying "I love you," and was led into her room by Yang Zi.

"Finally over." Li Xiuwu didn't have many scenes. After finishing, he plopped down on a stool.

Filming scenes with a few kids was quite difficult. Fortunately, the character settings matched the actors' personalities; otherwise, it would have been even harder.

Without his scenes, he could peacefully watch the others perform.

"Mom, let me discuss something with you. Can you give me some funds? I want to dye this thing green." Zhang Shan's movements and expressions were all spot on. His talent was good; he really didn't take the camera seriously and acted very naturally.

Having seen the filming of home with kids, Li Xiuwu was satisfied.

These two episodes' worth of scenes wouldn't bring him much fame, but they fulfilled a small wish of his.

He bid everyone farewell: "Big brother, can I see you again in the future?" Zhang Shan pulled at Li Xiuwu's clothes.

"Yes," Li Xiuwu replied with a smile.

On the other side, Yang Zi was also standing not far from her: "Big brother, goodbye."

"Goodbye." Li Xiuwu waved to them. Real people were a bit different from their characters in the TV drama.

Xiaoxue and Liu Xing were very cute, but in reality, Yang Zi was more reserved.

The set was in Beijing. After leaving the filming location, it didn't take long for him to return to the Courtyard House.

It was already late spring. In the West Courtyard, a hundred flowers were in bloom, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air, smelling very pleasant.

Looking at the yard full of flowers, Li Xiuwu felt much better.

Suddenly, he heard a voice: "Little Lion, come over and knead me."

"Mmm, comfortable."

"Little Lion is so great, mwah."

"This, this, this...?"

Li Xiuwu's eyes widened. It took him a while to react. No, the voice seemed to be coming from the flowers.

He walked over, pushed aside the flowers, and locked eyes with the Budgerigar.

At this moment, he understood why Liu Xiaoli wanted to drive the Budgerigar away.

"Scared the old lady to death." The Budgerigar was startled by Li Xiuwu. It thought Little Lion had come to hunt it down.

"You silly bird. I teach you nice things every day and you haven't learned a single word, but you learn all this mess instantly?"

"She says it every day," the Budgerigar said as if it were only natural.

Li Xiuwu thought about it. How much time did he spend at home every day? He was either out or at school. Liu Xiaoli was basically home every day holding Little Lion.

Having a reason was one thing, but actually learning it was another.

"Huzi, run for your life."

Li Xiuwu was helpless with this Budgerigar. It couldn't learn good words, but it learned bad ones in a flash. As soon as it opened its mouth, it sounded like a seasoned veteran.

"After you leave, don't speak again. If you cause trouble, don't come looking for me."

"I can't afford to lose face like that!"

The Budgerigar spread its wings and flew away, but after a while, it flew back and circled over Li Xiuwu's head.

"Where do you want me to go?"

"The world is vast, go find a place for yourself." Li Xiuwu couldn't be bothered with it.

"Chang Chang, do you want to play a role in 'flying immortal from beyond the heavens'?" Today was the weekend. Tomorrow, Shu Chang would return to school for classes.

Shu Chang shook her head: "I missed nearly three months of classes for lotus lantern. I have to go back to school and catch up."

Compared to acting, she now preferred studying. The sense of achievement from knowledge entering her brain made her satisfied.

The next day, Li Xiuwu personally drove her to Peking University.

"Brother, goodbye." Clutching her books, she walked into the entrance of Peking University and turned to wave at Li Xiuwu in the car.

After staying at the Courtyard House for a few days, Li Xiuwu checked on the progress of the Panda Core via phone. That set of equipment was still at sea and would take some time to arrive in full.

In China, setting up a cutting-edge technology research lab was too difficult. If he hadn't picked up Zhang Nanjing's set, it would probably take over half a year for the research lab to be fully operational.

Preparations for flying immortal from beyond the heavens were finally over. Li Xiuwu received a call from Wang Cheng. Yu Min wanted to see him. That day, he went to Golden Culture.

While passing a conference room, shouting and cursing came from a crack in the door, making Li Xiuwu stop in his tracks.

"Xu Chu, what did I tell you? Control, control, control! You damn well still got that woman into bed. What do you see in her?" Ding Yan roared at Xu Chu sitting there.

Xu Chu looked embarrassed, sitting there with his head down.

"We were supposed to mess with Big Beard Zhang, not let you seduce his wife, and certainly not let you cuckold him!"

"You're a real piece of work. Messing with his wife was one thing, but you even messed with the mistress he keeps. Aren't you afraid he'll go for broke?"

Li Xiuwu's eyes lit up as he heard this. He couldn't help but push the door open to see whose general this was, being so bold.
