Chapter 130: line with translation of chapter title

Translation: "Good thing, this is a good thing!"

But need to keep tone: "Good thing, this is a good thing!" Could be "Good thing, this is a good thing!" We'll keep punctuation.

Translation: "Having such a Jianghu all-knowing as a consultant, future film and television company shoots of Jianghu films will be so much easier; he can also work part-time as a screenwriter!"

Translation: "This is talent; having him in the crew can save a lot of trouble—this is the chosen worker."

Translation: "We must coax him into the company, otherwise we'd be wasting his talent."

Translation: "Li Xin quit smoking and drinking tea, grabbed Min Ge, and left."

Translation: "He still said, 'Come on, let's go to the Xi Gong set; they're filming a Jianghu drama over there—go give them some pointers.'"

We need to keep quotes. Use double quotes? We'll keep as in Chinese: use English quotes.

Translation: "Min Ge was dazed and confused, but followed him to Xi Gong, to the Heroic Spirit filming site."

Translation: "Looking at the busy crew, he asked Min Ge, 'How is it? Min Ge! Is this crew still professional?'"

Note:...

Translation: "Before Min Ge could answer, Hua Hua came over to them."

Translation: "First he greeted Min Ge: 'Min Ge, long time no see, how are you doing?'"

Translation: "Min Ge first glared at Hua Hua and cursed, 'Damn, am I okay or not, you good-for-nothing? Last time we drank at the Big Tycoon, did you spike my drink? I rested at home for three days before I recovered, and even now my legs are weak!'"

Translation: "Hua Hua looked aggrieved and said, 'You're wronging me! I'm not doing this because you're old and weak—I just added something good to your drink!'"

Translation: "Or is it some high-end foreign import? Don't you dare reject good intentions!"

Translation: "Min Ge looked at Hua Hua, then at Li Xin, shook his head and said, 'You two aren't a single good thing—you're both cut from the same cloth!'"

Translation: "Li Xin and Hua Hua exchanged a smile, ignoring his mockery."

Translation: "Several people walked toward the filming site; Li Xin put his arm around Hua Hua's shoulder and whispered, 'What's going on?'"

Translation: "Hua Hua glanced at Min Ge ahead, pursed her lips, and whispered, 'Because of a turf dispute in Pointy Sand Spit, I invited him for drinks hoping to settle it peacefully.'"

Note:...

Translation: " 'This old slickster has been playing tai chi with me; I just played a little joke on him, but I never expected he couldn't take a joke at all—ah, I'm helpless too!'"

Translation: "What could Li Xin say?"

Translation: "Besides, he didn't lose out—he actually gained an advantage! At his age, don't you need to use something good? Hua Hua didn't do anything wrong either."

Translation: "Several people arrived at the filming site; Wu Baige stood up to greet him."

Translation: "Then he asked, 'Boss, is there anything still inappropriate? I can improve.'"

Translation: "Pretty good; I don't know the specifics of filming—just look at the final product. The filming is up to you; I won't meddle."

Translation: "Li Xin pulled Min Ge over and introduced him, 'This is Min Ge, our film and television company's specially appointed consultant; if you have any questions about the Jianghu drama during filming, you can ask him.'"

Translation: "In this regard, nobody knows it more thoroughly than he does; Min Ge is absolutely professional."

Translation: "Min Ge quickly interrupted, asking, 'When did I become your company's consultant? I didn't know about this.'"

Translation: "Li Xin laughed heartily, warmly putting his arm around his shoulder and said, 'Look at you—given our relationship, if you wanted to be an actor, you'd definitely come to me.'"

Translation: " 'With your Number Gang's little short-film company, could you even be the male lead?'"

Translation: " 'If you dare to film it, nobody would dare to watch—it'd be eye‑searing!'"

Translation: "Upon hearing that, Wu Baige already knew who this Min Ge was!"

Translation: "The Number Gang's Double Flower Red Pole 'Chui Shui Min'—this is also an untouchable big shot; first came a flower manager, then another Jianghu big shot."

Note:...

Thus line 31 translation: "The Number Gang's Double Flower Red Pole 'Chui Shui Min'—this is also an untouchable big shot; first came Hua Jingli, then another Jianghu big shot."

The Number Gang's Double Flower Red Pole "Chui Shui Min"—this is also an untouchable big shot; first came Hua Jingli, then another Jianghu big shot.

Translation: "From now on, life won't be easy!"

Translation: "He thought that, but said politely, 'Your reputation, Min Ge, is thunderous to my ears; in the filming process, if anything falls short, please advise me further.'"

Translation: "Min Ge politely replied, 'Director, you're being polite—let's exchange advice.'"

Translation: "He brushed off Li Xin's hand from his shoulder, then said, 'I'll give it a try; if it works, I'll stay; if not, I'll leave.'"

Translation: " 'What do you mean, not working? Min Ge, you're born for this line of work—rest easy, your pay and consultant salary won't be shortchanged; go ahead boldly, there'll definitely be no problem!'"

Translation: "Li Xin wouldn't give him a chance to back out; he hurried to nail down the matter."

Translation: "After that day, Li Xin also stayed on set to learn a bit; maybe later, if he gets the urge, he'll also make a movie for fun!"

Translation: "Besides, filmmaking really has a lot of particulars—how actors move, camera angles, lighting strength on set—all have their principles."

Translation: " 'Hua Zai, I want anger mixed with grievance—that's your own older brother, not a mortal enemy—adjust your state quickly.'"

Translation: "Li Xin just stood aside watching; Wu Baige scolded people and discussed the drama, but he never voiced an opinion."

Translation: "After Wu Baige finished scolding Hua Zai, he said to Di Long, 'You're a washed-up Jianghu big shot, not a real taxi driver—you need a hint of domineering presence! Don't bob your head like a horse groom to everyone.'"

Translation: " 'You're not Song Zihao—you're a pimp from the Grand Imperial Palace! You also need to adjust.'"

Translation: "Li Xin glanced at the time—it was almost noon—so he hurried to call the Red Letter Restaurant to have them deliver lunch boxes, so as not to let these people go hungry."

Translation: "After hanging up, he picked up a bottle of water and handed it to Wu Baige, saying, 'Director Wu, come, drink some water to calm down—don't make yourself sick, or that'd be a major loss for the company.'"

Translation: "Over these few days of contact, Wu Baige has changed his impression of this young boss considerably."

Translation: "He's still easy to get along with, has no bossy airs, and is very approachable."

Translation: "Compared to those Jianghu big shots, he's very different—he doesn't open his mouth to curse mothers or threaten right away."

Translation: "Usually he's just like an ordinary person—laughing, joking, getting angry, scolding—all of that is fine."

Translation: "His fear of the boss also lessened a lot; he took the water bottle."

Translation: "He answered with a smile, 'Boss, this truly isn't me losing my temper on purpose—being a director, few have good tempers; they're all forced into it!'"

Translation: " 'Sometimes, if a performance doesn't pass, it affects the whole shooting schedule, so the more we shoot, the more annoyed we get, and we can't help but lose our temper.'"

Translation: " 'Hmm, understandable—I'm also impatient; I want everything done cleanly and swiftly, and if someone delays what I've ordered, I can't help but lose my temper.'"

Translation: "While the two were chatting, the restaurant's meals had already been delivered to the filming site."

Translation: "Seeing that Li Hui Juan had come over, he asked, 'Sister Juan, what about He Qiang's kid? Why are you still having people deliver meals?'"

Translation: "Sister Juan first had people serve the actors their meals, finished up, then replied, 'Today a few inland locals came to the restaurant; he's cooking for them! So I had to come myself.'"

Translation: "After saying that, she handed him the two lunch boxes and added, 'I specially made you some spicy diced chicken—try it and see if you can get used to it.'"

Translation: "Min Ge also came over, picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a piece of chicken with dried chili, and put it in his mouth to taste."

Li Xin saw his expression change, smiling and asking: "Min Ge, is the taste right?"
