Chapter 127 I Am Not the Medicine God’s Illumination (Ch 127)

“Hey mom, what’s wrong?”

Qi Jia put the phone to his ear, closed his eyes, and said,

“Son, are you feeling unwell? Why do you sound so tired?” asked the mother.

Seeing that his mother could tell that his tone was wrong and afraid that she would worry, Qi Jia had to force himself to stay calm and said,

“No, I’m fine. Don’t worry, Mom. You called me so late at night. Is there something wrong?”

After Qi Jia finished speaking, my mother on the other end of the phone said something inexplicably,

“Have you looked at the moon tonight?”

“moon?”

Qi Jia looked out the window with some doubt. In the night sky, a full moon was hanging brightly in the sky.

“It’s quite round, what’s wrong?”

Qi Jia looked left and right but didn’t find anything wrong. He didn’t see Chang’e dancing, nor did he see Wu Gang destroying the forest. Could it be that his mother meant that the moon was rounder at home?

“Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. I see you are so busy that you don’t even remember this.” Mom said with some distress.

Qi Jia covered his phone with a guilty conscience and asked the assistant beside him quietly,

“Is today Mid-Autumn Festival?”

“Yeah~”

The assistant nodded and whispered,

“When you were filming during the day, the crew distributed mooncakes. Just now, you fell asleep as soon as you got in the car. I saw that you were so tired, so I thought I would talk to you after we got off the car.”

Qi Jia nodded after hearing this, and then said to his mother awkwardly,

“Mom, if you hadn’t told me, I would have really forgotten. Did you buy mooncakes at home and eat them?”

“I ate it, but I didn’t buy any. People gave us a lot of it as gifts, but we couldn’t finish it all. Your dad gave it all away as gifts.”

My mother told Qi Jia that since last month, relatives have been coming to her house with fruit mooncakes as gifts.

This is a rare sight. In the past, people rarely even made phone calls, let alone visiting to give gifts.

Some of the relatives who came to visit us were so old that my parents couldn’t even remember them. In the end, they had to call my grandfather back to recognize which generation of relatives they were.

The family members did not intend to accept these gifts, but they put them down and left, and no one could stop them.

In the end, it was my grandfather who made the decision. He called my cousin over and asked him to write down who sent these things.

Anyway, it’s not a valuable item, so just accept it and give them a gift in return.

In short, you should not accept things from others casually, especially those of unknown origin or valuables, so as not to cause trouble for Qi Jia in the future!

Therefore, my three uncles’ families, my sister’s in-laws’ family, and Qi Jia’s grandmother’s uncle’s family all don’t need to buy fruit mooncakes this year.

“By the way, your Migong came over today to ask if you were back for the Mid-Autumn Festival.”

After talking about the gifts from relatives, my mother mentioned one more thing.

Mi Gong is the respectful name that the younger generation in my hometown use to refer to the matchmaker of my parents. Qi Jia asked curiously,

“Is there something the village wants to talk to me about?”

The reason why he asked this was because he, Mi Gong, was the village chief of their village.

“I don’t know. When he heard that you didn’t come back, he didn’t say anything. He just left the box of grapes and left.” Mom said.

In that case, Qi Jia didn’t think much about it. He kept chatting with his mother until they returned to the hotel and then hung up the phone.

After getting off the car, Qi Jia stretched comfortably, grabbed the assistant’s neck, and said proudly,

“Come on, it’s Mid-Autumn Festival, I’ll treat you to mooncakes.”

Qi Jia lifted up the assistant like a little chicken, and said with a bitter face,

“Brother, I’m on the set today and I’ve already eaten eight mooncakes. I want to eat lobster seafood now. Is that okay?”

“No big deal, come on, I’ll treat you to Australian lobster today!”

Qi Jia waved his hand generously and walked towards the hotel restaurant with his assistant, who was drooling.

On the other side,

At home, after my mother hung up the phone, she sighed and said to my father who was eavesdropping on her.

“Your son was so busy that he even forgot about the Mid-Autumn Festival. Just now I heard that he was so tired that he had trouble talking. After I heard it, he tried to hide it from me on purpose.”

After hearing this, my father also sighed.

“They say being a star is easy, but it seems that’s not entirely true.”

Just as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and said helplessly,

“Well, another one called to ask if your eldest son has come back, and to introduce him to someone.”

…

September 25th,

When he woke up in the morning, his assistant reminded him that today was the premiere day of “Dying to Survive”.

“Yiran, please go to my Weibo and TikTok and help me repost the updates from the Medicine God official account.”

The assistant had the management rights of his account. Qi Jia was having breakfast and had nothing to do, so he asked her to help him.

Although Xu Zheng didn’t say anything, he was also a member of the crew. It would be better if he didn’t know. Now that he knew,

If I have to wait for Xu Zheng or Director Wen to specifically say hello to you,

That would seem like you’re asking for favors from the other person, which is a very bad behavior.

“Okay bro”

The assistant nodded, picked up the phone, and started operating.

While eating breakfast, Huang Bo and Director Ning also came over.

“Qi Jia, you worked really hard yesterday.”

As a director, Ning Hao naturally knew the hard work of motion capture. Although Qi Jia was paid, he at least had to care about it.

“It’s better to work hard today so that you can drive a Land Rover tomorrow~”

Qi Jia made a joke and said,

“Hahaha, what’s up, Ning Hao? I told you this guy is interesting, right?”

After hearing this, Huang Bo laughed and squeezed Qi Jia’s shoulder, then said to Ning Hao,

“Just like you, I always know what to say so that others will be happy when they hear it.”

Ning Hao nodded, agreeing with what Huang Bo said.

At this time, the assistant had finished editing the dynamics and handed the phone to Qi Jia.

“Brother, do you think this is okay?”

Qi Jia took a look and found nothing wrong, so he nodded.

“No problem, go ahead and post it. Remember to tag the official account.”

Huang Bo also curiously poked his head over to take a peek and asked,

“Qi Jia, what are you talking about?”

“Isn’t Brother Xu’s movie going to be released today? I’m also starring in it, so I’m helping to promote it.” Qi Jia explained.

“Oh, it’s that movie Dying to Survive, right? It’s released today.”

Ning Hao, who was standing by, heard this and said,

“In that case, I’ll help promote it and make Bald Xu owe me a favor.”

Huang Bo made a joke and took out his phone to help forward the message.

Having said that, he did not repost the official account of Yaoshen, but directly reposted Qi Jia’s dynamics.

“You all sent one, so I’ll send one too.”

Ning Hao also took out his phone and repeated Huang Bo’s operation.

“Then I will drink soy milk instead of wine. Thank you, Brother Bo and the director~”

Qi Jia held up the porcelain bowl and raised it towards the two of them, saying with a smile,

“Why are you being so polite, my dear brother? You are all pigeons~”

Huang Bo and Ning Hao also pretended to be serious. They clasped their hands together and bowed to Qi Jia.

Let me talk about two things.

Xu Zheng and Director Wen have been busy since morning and have not stopped.

Although things have been arranged long ago, they still have to keep an eye on them and cannot just sit back and do nothing.

At this time, Xu Zheng’s assistant said,

“Brother Xu, Qi Jia just posted a status update to help us promote today’s premiere.”

“Then Director Huang Bo and Ning Hao also retweeted his post.”

After hearing this, Xu Zheng laughed twice, looked at Director Wen proudly and said,

“See, I told you that Qi Jia would take the initiative to help without being reminded. I win, and tonight’s supper is yours.”

Director Wen smiled and sighed.

“At such a young age, he has already mastered the art of dealing with people. He deserves to be famous so quickly!”

At 8 o’clock in the evening, cinemas across the country ushered in the first climax.

After extensive publicity in the early stages, a large number of audiences flocked to the cinema tonight to watch “Dying to Survive”.

Xu Zheng and Director Wen hid in a small room backstage, looking at the screening room filled with people, and finally felt relieved.

When the movie was over, the theater staff came out and set up a fence in front of the auditorium.

Director Xu Zheng and Director Wen walked from behind the scenes to the stage with Wang Chuanjun, Tan Zhuo, Zhou Yi and other leading actors all smiling.

Unexpectedly, as soon as everyone showed up, the host didn’t even have time to speak.

All the audience present started to make a big noise!
