Hello Mr. King

Chapter 35: Script Practice

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Most probably, Gao Feng had already known that Yun Xiangxiang came from the mainland and so he spoke to her in Mandarin. Although it wasn’t perfect and heavily laced with a Hong Kong accent, the gesture moved Yun Xiangxiang.

Yun Xiangxiang also replied with her half-baked Cantonese, “Yun Xiangxiang, please guide me senior.”

No one thought that Yun Xiangxiang could speak Cantonese. It was definitely a little lacking compared to the native Hong Kong or Guangdong Province people, but it was enough for them to understand clearly. This made Gao Feng and Lin Jialiang feel that the little girl was quite interesting.

Since Yun Xiangxiang showed that she had no problem using Cantonese for communications, Gao Feng did not trouble himself. When they filmed, they must be conversing in Cantonese lines, “Why don’t you pick a part for us to practice, we’ll familiar ourselves with each other first?”

Yun Xiangxiang also didn’t wish to be pretentious. She chose the part where Xu Kang took Jia Hui to see the psychiatrist to practice scripts.

“Dad, my shoelaces are loose.” Jia Hui stopped and stretched out her leg, looking at Xu Kang cutely.

Xu Kang smiled adoringly, seeming to understand his daughter’s thoughts, then thought about his own baseless guessing towards his daughter. He bent down to tie her shoelaces, just as he did when she was a child.

Just as the knuckled hand touched the shoelaces, his daughter’s voice came from above his head shockingly, “Dad, did you suspect that I’m the murderer?”

Xu Kang’s hand shook a bit. His body stiffened, not knowing how to face his daughter.

But he didn’t know that his daughter who was looking down from above had eyes dark and mysterious like a demon.

He seemed like he thought of how to answer his daughter. Xu Kang looped the shoelaces with his fingertips, looking up towards his daughter’s clear eyes that hid a deep pain within them.

His eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he swallowed the words that were about to come out from his mouth. He gazed at Jia Hui with complex expressions.

Jia Hui stretched out her hand to tuck her hair that was messed up by the wind. She looked unconcerned and asked, “If I’m really the murderer, Dad, would you arrest me?”

Xu Kang looked up at his daughter. Unlike her tranquil eyes, his gazes were mixed with judgement, evasion, fear, and deeply hidden vulnerability.

Time seemed to stop at the very moment. It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it also seemed just like a moment. Xu Kang tied the shoelaces nicely. When he pulled the beautiful butterfly knot tightly, he replied resolutely, “Dad is a policeman, I won’t allow any criminals to go unpunished.”

He stood up as he said that, his tall body exuding a suffocating feeling of oppression.

Jia Hui seemed like she didn’t feel it at all. She asked as if she was asking about the weather, “What about Aunt?”

Xu Kang’s pupils shrank, his hands were shaking. He seemed like someone who had all his lines of defense defeated, becoming very vulnerable.

The coldness under Jia Hui’s eyes seeped in. She retracted her foot, stepping back and creating a distance, “So my mother died...”

After saying this, Yun Xiangxiang still had a smile on her lips. Her amber eyes glossed over. Smiling with tears in her eyes made people feel sad.

The atmosphere between the father daughter duo changed instantly. Jia Hui’s eyes gradually became colder. Her strength compared to Xu Kang’s powerlessness formed a sharp contrast.

“Wonderful!” Lin Jialiang gave a thumbs up.

“You were great.” Gao Feng also looked at Yun Xiangxiang. He deliberately changed the atmosphere. Never mind a young girl like Yun Xiangxiang, even an actor who had been training for many years in the industry would feel oppressed.

Not only did Yun Xiangxiang not feel it, but her gaze was promising in the scene. It was sharp enough to pull her opponents into it.

“Thank you, Teacher Gao.” Yun Xiangxiang also recovered her sense.

This ability to instantly enter and act out a role received Gai Feng’s admiration. In the younger generation it had become more and more rare to have actors like Yun Xiangxiang who was able to do it.

After the director, screenwriter and protagonist approved, Yun Xiangxiang successfully got the role of Jua Hui. The filming was to start on the June 25th.

Seeing that Yun Xiangxiang was to start school in early September. Lin Jialiang was easy to discuss with, and agreed to let her crank up the filming as much as possible so it didn’t delay her studies. The contract couldn’t wait for Yun Zhibin to sign, so Han Jing signed it on behalf of her with the crew.

Hong Kong didn’t have a very high pay for actors. Even though Han Jing gave her ten million in the past, Lin Jialing only gave Yun Xiangxiang 1,700,000 HKD before tax. The pay was about one million chinese dollars after tax.

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t feel dissatisfied or disappointed about this. She felt that if it weren’t for consideration of Han Jing, this role that would’ve been taken by a rookie actor wouldn’t even pay this much.

This film didn’t demand much from Yun Xiangxiang, because the whole film wasn’t focused on her. As long as she didn’t get injured and her figure didn’t change as she enters the crew, it was fine. Lin Jialiang also did not demand for her to report early to the crew.

The next half a month she was either accompanied personally by Han Jing or the designated driver arranged by Han Jing to go sightseeing in Hong Kong.

Yun Xiangxiang’s body was the kind that wouldn’t get fat easily, so she didn’t diet at all and ate everything delicious with Song Meng and Li Xiangling in the streets and alleys. Meanwhile, she also bought some precious supplements to be sent back to her family.

During this period, Yun Xiangxiang met Han Jing’s son, a seven year old young master, who was extremely cute. His English was very fluent too. It seemed that Han Jing had made arrangements with the Qin Family that every mid-month, Han Jing would bring the child over to stay for a few days.

Qin Lang was a very precocious child. He was also very polite; he was already emanating the aura of a noble’s son at seven years old.

After all, he was the eldest grandson of the richest families in Hong Kong. Due to her appearance, Qin Lang became Yun Xiangxiang’s fan after coming. He stuck around Yun Xiangxiang every day.

When facing Yun Xiangxiang, he was like a puppy waiting to be fed. When facing Song Meng and Li Xiangling, he was a prideful young master. Song Meng couldn’t even pinch his little face with her evil little claws, making her depressed.

However, young master Qin had received an elite education, he only had four days of rest each month. He used them to accompany his mother.

On the 18th, he was holding on tightly to the hem of Yun Xiangxiang’s shirt, taken away unwillingly by the Qin Family’s butler. If it weren’t for Yun Xiangxiang’s promise to wait for him next month, he would’ve refused to leave.

“The little brat wasn’t ever as attached to me as when he is with you.” Han Jing watched the faraway car. Even though she was smiling, there was sadness in her eyes..

After arriving for so long, Yun Xiangxiang roughly knew the reason for Han Jing’s divorce. There was a mistress that inserted herself into Han Jing’s marriage. Her father and mother-in-law stood on her side. They called once every week, yet never saw Qin Lang’s father.

It is said that what Qin Lang’s father divorced, Han Jing’s father-in-law stated clearly that he could have as many women as he liked, but he shouldn’t even think of calling anyone his official wife. This was probably so the status of Qin Lang’s family wasn’t shaken.

Thus, the stress and responsibility on Qin Lang was especially heavy. Yun Xiangxiang’s heart ached for him.
