Wei Sama Lets Stuff Them With Dog F... - Chapter 42: Chapter 42

Wei Mama woke up on the eleventh hour after the operation. After waking up for three days, she found legacies one after another.
Her vision was distorted, her capacity for reaction became worse, and she became dim…
None knew if Wei Mama had noticed it, but the children around her sensed it. After Wei Mama had knocked over the glasses many times, she was silent too.
However, Wei Mama had no problems apart from these. The operation was very successful and she only needed tablets and radiation therapy.
But the postoperative care was another big problem. Wei Papa was getting older. When he came back this time, because of his worries and the travelling, his cold gradually became pneumonia. Wei Mama had not been discharged, but he was in hospital again. It was obviously unrealistic for Wei Papa to take care of Wei Mama.
The Sheng Family’s business was waiting for Sheng Chang’an to deal with, and even Wei Xin’an took over Wei Papa’s work. Their family could afford to hire caregiver, but they were outsiders after all.
In the end, they could only ask Wei Changfeng and Qi Le’an to take care of the sick old couple. However, the post-production of Abduction of Children became hectic, and they had to finalize a series of tasks including submitting for censorship and determining its release date. Wei Changfeng often commuted from Beijing to Haicheng three or four times a week, and sleep often eluded him because of the family matters. Qi Le’an felt sorry for him and hid Wei Changfeng’s ID card, forcing him to stay in Haicheng.
Wei Changfeng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Qi Le’an kissed him so that he could rest assured.
The busy March had passed. Qi Le’an did not arrange work and drove from home to the hospital to take care of Wei Changfeng’s parents. Thankfully, they were not short of money. There were nannies at home while there were caregivers in the hospital and drivers would pick them up when they went out. Qi Le’an was just worried about more things, so he didn’t feel very tired.
Wei Mama was weak after the operation. She had many things she wanted to say but she often couldn’t say them out. One day Wei Papa went to the garden to take a stroll. She suddenly tugged on Qi Le’an’s hand, wept and tried to speak with her trembling lips.
Qi Le’an was startled. He hurriedly took a towel and wiped Wei Mama’s tears, “What is ailing you? I’ll call a doctor for you.”
Wei Mama shook her head and held Qi Le’an’s hand. After a long time, she slowly said, “Th… thank you…”
Qi Le’an was stunned and smiled, “Mom, what did you say? Isn’t it what I should do to take care of you?”
However, Wei Mama knew that this person in front of her had just been nominated best actor of the Oscar, which made him become one of the most bankable stars in the showbiz. The invitations to act in advertisements outside came to him like snowflakes, but he was willing to take care of her, a useless old woman…
She thought about the fact that she had turned against him because of him being together with her son back then and felt that she really shouldn’t have done like that…
Qi Le’an didn’t think too much about it. He knew that he was very popular now, and his fans were looking forward to seeing him get involved in a big-budget production. But in his heart, career was indeed part of his life, while family was actually the most important part of it.
His background made him deeply cherish his family. If he lost money, he could make money again. If his family was gone, he would really lose everything.
Besides, he was not completely out of work. He chose a suspense film from the scripts Chen Shan had thrown to him last year, and filming was due to start in July. After taking care of his family, he would also look at the script and analyze characters, or perform with An Cheng. An Cheng had a great gift for performing. Qi Le’an felt that he was really similar to Wei Changfeng.
In mid-April, Wei Mama and Wei Papa were discharged from the hospital together. The housekeeper steamed some wormwood used for the two of them to take a shower. Wei Xin’an and Sheng Chang’an returned home from overseas while Wei Changfeng also rushed back from Haicheng. Everyone sat together to celebrate Wei Mama having a new lease of life.
While eating, the little Snowball suddenly called out ‘mommy’ and everyone’s eyes widened with excitement. Wei Xin’an even hugged her son and laughed to coax him. Even Wei Changfeng came over to teach Snowball to call him ‘uncle’.
Wei Mama was happy for a while. After the operation, she didn’t dare hug her grandson, afraid that she would make Snowball fall. Sheng Chang’an personally put his son into Wei Mama’s arms. Snowball still remembered his grandmother’s odor and smiled sweetly. Wei Mama suddenly started to cry.
Little Orange took the tissue and reached out to give it to Wei Mama. She even said in a low voice, “Grandma, don’t cry.”
Wei Mama smiled again and returned the child to Wei Xin’an. She took the tissue from Little Orange’s hand and coaxed her, “I won’t cry. Our Little Orange is so good!”
The two old men didn’t fully recover and they went upstairs to rest after 9 p.m. Sheng Chang’an and Wei Xin’an carried Snowball back to the house of the Sheng Family next door. Wei Changfeng coaxed the two children to sleep, and then he just had time to stay alone with Qi Le’an.
Qi Le’an smiled and shook his head, “I feel as if life has skipped a lot at once that it has come to the period after getting married for five or six years…”
Wei Changfeng couldn’t help but laugh, but then he sighed. He put his arms around Qi Le’an and said, “Thank you.”
Qi Le’an shrugged and asked, “How’s the movie going?”
Wei Changfeng held the glass of red wine and said, “We will submit it for approval tomorrow. It’s not a big problem.”
Qi Le’an’s eyes lit up.
Wei Changfeng asked, “Have a look?”
Qi Le’an nodded hard.
Wei Changfeng stood up with a smile, put the glass on the table, turned on the computer to find the file and clicked on the play button.
The name of the movie “Abduction of Children” appeared on the screen.
The two of them turned off the lights in the bedroom and sat on the bed, watching the movie.
Even if he was playing the lead, Qi Le’an couldn’t help but sniffle after he finished watiching it. He said to Wei Changfeng beside him, “The effect is great… Wei Sama!”
Wei Changfeng had seen it many times and was not as excited as Qi Le’an, but he could not help but feel happy when he heard his lover’s prize, “What?”
Qi Le’an kissed Wei Changfeng secretly.
Wei Changfeng kissed him in reply.
The credits of the movie was playing on the computer, while the director and the leading player kissed each other and had sex on the bed.
Abduction of Children was the key project supported by the Ministry of Culture this year, and the movie also had priority in review. A week after the master copy was handed over, the State Administration of Radio said that it had passed the review and there was nothing needed to be expurgated. Wei Changfeng confirmed the movie’s release date without hesitation and prepared to send it to the competition.
The release date of the movie was May 20. Why would the movie with such a subject be released on May 20? The implication was plain, if left unstated.
It did tell a story of kidnapping, but behind the story was the love between the director and the leading player.
Brother Zhi had found a top publicity team. The boss of the team asked Wei Changfeng directly, “Can the relationship between you and Qi Le’an be a publicity stunt?”
Wei Changfeng thought for a moment and answered, “We are indeed together. This movie.. has also witnessed a lot of us, but I want people to pay attention to the movie itself.”
The boss smiled frankly, “I understand. Please accept my best wishes.”
Wei Changfeng replied to him with a smile.
Different from the previous blaze of publicity by the team, the news of the release date of the movie Abduction of Children was only revealed in May. Its publicity was as unhurried as the director himself, but it could attract people’s attention in time.
To cooperate with the publicity, Wei Changfeng and Qi Le’an also recorded a few interview variety shows. Since the two of them appeared on the same screen, they really looked like a couple, which cause fans to scream excitedly.
They had voluntarily rescued the children, assisted the police in fighting against kidnapping, donated funds to the welfare house, and advertised the organization Baby Come Home… The old incidents were dug out one by one and the audience couldn’t help but cry as they watched the trailer only.
Before the movie was released, the crew invited people from all walks of life to participate in the premiere. Apart from the stars and directors, there were also film critics, authors, media reporters, etc. After the premiere, everyone said it was the best work of the year!
When the movie was about to be released, according to the research of a movie website, Abduction of Children was one of the most eagerly anticipated works among the movies which would be released on the same date!
On May 20, the co-creators gathered in the office of Beijing and Brother Zhi blushed excitedly early in the morning.
“The film has played to packed houses since 12am!” Brother Zhi smiled at Wei Changfeng, “I expect the box office to be at least 50 million yuan in the premiere!”
Wei Changfeng and Qi Le’an wore low-profile couple clothing. The young woman in the crew smiled and asked, “Mr. Wei and Mr. Qi, now you can rest assured and get married!”
Wei Changfeng raised his eyebrows and smiled. “How do you know we didn’t get married?”
The young woman’s eyes widened in shock, “Really?”
Qi Le’an couldn’t help laughing.
Yesterday, they received a gift from America. Professor John had been waiting for the two of them to return for a long time. Finally he posted the marriage certificate to them, which was insured at a high price.
Even though they didn’t have the notarization, under the law of America, they were already legal couples!
The young woman couldn’t tell if it was true judging from their expressions. Then she shouted, “It doesn’t matter! Mr. Wei, hurry up and send us red packets and wedding candies!”
Wei Changfeng smiled and held his phone, “Everyone ready? Three…two…one!”
Everyone lowered their heads and snatched the red envelopes on WeChat!
Wei Changfeng was so rich that he sent ten red envelopes, but Qi Le’an only got three yuan. He said with a sullen face, “It shouldn’t be like this!” Could it be because of my bad luck?”
The one who got the most money was the actor who played the adoptive father in the movie, and the elder of showbiz smiled complacently, “This is called respecting the old and taking care of the young.”
Qi Le’an was upset but found that Wei Changfeng had sent him a red envelope privately.
He clicked on it and saw that it was 520 yuan.
Qi Le’an took a screenshot of it happily and couldn’t help but post it on Weibo, writing, “As an adult, I could even get a red envelope. All of you remember to go and see Abduction of Children! The director said that he would give more red packets if the publicity is done well.”
Wei Changfeng replied to him with a comment under the post, “Yes, the director will send himself to you.”
The sentence quickly became the hot comment, and Qi Le’an’s Weibo post was forwarded for thousands of times.
The box office of Abduction of Children in the premiere had been ninety eight million and three hundred and ten thousand yuan, almost twice as much as expected.
On the second day of release, the box office was over three thousand million. On the fourth day, it was over a billion.
Apart from the intuitive box office reaction, there were also many articles about the movie released online. An influencer, who was known for his sharp tongue, only wrote eight words for this movie, “It’s a good movie, go and watch it.”
Just as Wei Changfeng had hoped, Abduction of Children not only flopped well at the box office, but it also gave the whole society food for thought. Wei Changfeng put the images of hundreds of families losing their children at the end of the movie, which lasted for three minutes. He also made the behind-the-scenes titbits and interviews into a short video, which brought tears to everyone’s eyes.
The most exciting thing was that within half a month after Abduction of Children was released, three families had finally found their children who had been separated from and lose touch with them for years because of the movie publicity!
On the seventeenth day after Abduction of Children was released, the total box office was 4.376 billion, breaking the box office record in the Chinese film circle.
