TGDS Chapter 37.1

Good Dad System (Arc 3)Chapter 37.1: If You Have A Stepfather, You Will Have A Stepmother (32)

 

This summer’s entertainment industry is as hot as the scorching sun. The summer season has been fighting from beginning to end, and talent shows have come one after another. By the time of September and autumn, the situation has changed.

 

The enviable long summer vacation of H City Foreign Language Middle School has just come to an end, and the students who have returned to the classroom have not been able to concentrate. While the teacher who checked the homework has not arrived yet, they gathered together to whisper, and from time to time, a few words like “Pei Qin” and “Her dad” were heard.

 

Yes, Pei Qin.

 

Just last semester, Pei Naochun scraped together enough money from nowhere to buy the small apartment where the father and daughter lived – of course, due to the rising housing prices, he still took the loan route, and he successfully became a house slave, having to repay the loan on a monthly basis. He asked the owner of the house in advance if he had a quota for household registration. After discussing with his daughter, Pei Naochun decided to transfer her household registration to his own name. After obtaining his daughter’s consent, he also officially changed the other party’s name from Zhou Qin back to Pei Qin.

 

Pei Qin had no friends in the class, and the name change was also silent. It was not until the head teacher mentioned it during the roll call that the classmates knew that the other party had changed her surname and returned to her father’s house. The classmates’ attitudes were slightly loosened, but no one took the initiative to break the ice.

 

“Hey, Chi Liang, come here.” The sharp-eyed classmate saw Chi Liang coming in, pulled her over, lowered her voice and asked, “Have you seen the movie “Peak Moment”? “Everyone looked over eagerly, expecting an answer.

 

Chi Liang shook her head. She probably guessed what everyone was asking: “I haven’t seen it. I’m very busy this holiday, so I didn’t go to the movies.”

 

“Then you have to go and see it, it’s very good!” The girl described it in a sloppy way, “The plot is not perfunctory, the action level is first-class, and the fight is super exciting!”

 

“Don’t get off the topic.” The girl next to her hurriedly stopped the other party’s desire to talk about movies. “Chi Liang, you and Pei Qin are nothing like that…” She couldn’t find an exact adjective to describe the relationship between the two. “Is her father the actor Pei Naochun in the movie?” When she asked, everyone was chattering.

 

The movie “Moment of the Peak” can be called a dark horse in the summer vacation.

 

Director Li Zhengyi has always had a good reputation, and several of his movies have been box office hits, but the time slot he chose coincided with the release of two Hollywood blockbusters and a family comedy that coincided with the summer vacation. The two even chose to premiere on the same day, which was a battle between a dragon and a tiger.

 

The movie was written and revised many times by Li Zhengyi and his old partner. In order to achieve the best effect on the screen, he required the actors to fight as they should without using a double, and to act as they should, and to have acting skills, to endure hardships, and to fit the character. During the audition, many traffic stars were screened out, and several old actors and new actors were selected. It was because of this that Pei Naochun was able to successfully get the role of the fourth male, but this led to the fact that “The Peak Moment” seemed to have no starlight in the cast.

 

The director has no experience in marketing, and the publicity is far inferior to other films. Before it was released, it was inferior to others in public reputation. Others have bought three rounds of hot searches, but Li Zhengyi is still honestly accepting interviews. The result is that even the theaters are not optimistic about it, and the screening rate has plummeted.

 

Two days before the release, with the screening rate being extremely low, the box office of “The Peak Moment” almost fell to the bottom. The director and the investment company sighed and had to arrange one city promotion event after another to stimulate the box office. Unexpectedly, from the third day, “The Peak Moment” began to fight back. With its outstanding reputation and quality far superior to the films of the same period, the box office was higher day by day. The front line of pursuing interests continued to add more screenings, making the screening time longer and longer. By the time it was over, the cumulative box office had reached the first place of the whole year, which was called a miracle of the summer vacation.

 

How this miracle was created has sparked countless discussions in the film industry, with filmmakers and moviegoers expressing their opinions and eventually coming to the conclusion that good directors, good scripts, good actors and good martial arts, these four elements gathered together to burst out unprecedented power.

 

And the three words “good martial arts” come from the male No. 4 in the movie, Pei Naochun, who was once unknown, but received countless invitations after the movie was released and became a direct hit.

 

“Peak Moment” was adapted from a kidnapping case that exploded in China a few years ago. The main characters are five men, the local richest man who was kidnapped, the friend who paid for the kidnapping of the richest man, the gangster who has been in the society for many years and kidnapped people, the honest henchman who robbed the gangsters, and the police who saved the whole scene; Pei Naochun played this “honest henchman who robbed the gangsters”. The other party was from a poor family. After graduating from a martial arts school, he started as a younger brother and worked his way up to the number one henchman next to the local gangster. He always had an honest face, as if he had no temper. Relying on the word loyalty, he has gone through ups and downs and his status remains unchanged.

 

But with a long-lasting crackdown on gangsters, the gangster boss’s assets were confiscated and frozen, and everything began to change. The gangster boss was extremely short of money, hiding from place to place, kidnapping people for money, and the loyal henchmen who were well-behaved and obedient, but under the temptation of money, they turned against each other.
