At that moment, everyone in the movie theater couldn't help but choke up, apparently also grieving over Qian Siqi's fall off the cliff.
Therefore, when they saw the bonus scene released at the end of the movie, more and more people began to speculate whether there would be a sequel to the film.
Would the protagonist of the next one be about the story of the little junior martial sister after falling off the cliff?
Seeing these speculations, the director and editor were undoubtedly delighted. This showed that the foreshadowing they had planted was very successful.
In fact, at first they had wanted to make this storyline more obvious, but considering those heartbreaking three years, and not being sure whether the audience would buy it, they dealt with it in this vague manner.
"It looks like we can start preparing to shoot the second part!" The deputy director's eyes lit up.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, not only did he not receive the approval of the director and screenwriter, but it also caused the two of them to fall into contemplation.
"Wha-what's wrong?" The deputy director was a little uneasy, always feeling that the two in front of him were plotting something.
"You say..." Qiu Xuetong murmured, "Would Ji Mochen let his daughter enter the entertainment industry?"
"She... she should be allowed to, right?" The deputy director had a bad premonition.
"Then let's select the roles other than the female lead first."
"Ah?! Director, could you be thinking of..."
"I also think it's a good idea. That kid had such good skills at a young age. I heard she's already become a member of the Nan Family Martial Arts School now." The screenwriter nodded in agreement with the director.
Deputy Director: !!
"But... King Ji's side..."
"Don't worry, he listens to his daughter. Let's get the script ready, especially the fighting scenes. I did see that every time she shoots fighting scenes, she's like she just got injected with chicken blood..."
The director and screenwriter left while talking, completely ignoring the deputy director who now looked ashen.
"Hello... President Chen, I'm really sorry, but the director and screenwriter said the female lead is not fixed for now. I'm afraid the audition we talked about earlier..."
"Yawn—" While immersed in madly working on Olympic math problems, Ji Ruochu suddenly let out a loud sneeze.
The next second, two heads peeked in from outside the bedroom door.
"Sweetie, is the air conditioner too cold?"
"Or shall I make you a cup of cold medicine?"
"Or we could have Doctor Li come take a look..."
"I'll go get the car and let's go to the hospital..."
Hearing the tittering sounds outside the door, Ji Ruochu didn't even lift her head:
"Dad, I want to eat lychees."
"Mom, I want to eat petite fours this afternoon."
Within seconds, the two previously idle people instantly busied themselves and the room became quiet again, as if the earlier commotion was just an illusion.
After all, the girl's handwriting math problems didn't stop for even a second, and her train of thought didn't break for even a moment.
Indeed, the hit release of "Free Travel" did bring some changes to Ji Ruochu’s life.
First was school – more people sent her gifts, and many boys would sneak peeks at her in the classroom. Occasionally she would be called "Little Martial Sister" on the road too.
Second was the martial arts school. After finding out how powerful Qian Siqi, played by Ji Ruochu, was in the movie, the martial brothers and sisters at the school fought against her even harder when sparring with her.
After all...there were now people who suspected that Ji Ruochu in real life was really able to press her martial brothers, martial sisters, martial uncles and martial aunts to the ground and beat them, just like Qian Siqi!
And not only her, but her three little buddies also received special attention.
The three whose beatings increased every day: ...
As a result, Ji Ruochu and her three little buddies’ lives naturally became even more exciting.
Fortunately, the popularity of the film did not last very long. By the time Ji Ruochu successfully became a high school first grader, there weren’t many people who still remembered that she had portrayed Qian Siqi.
At school, she and the other nine former Little Class i original students were all mad skippers.
At home, the now twelve-year-old Ji Ruochu already faintly had the aura of the head of household.
Ever since Ji Mochen and his wife were diagnosed as "sub-healthy" in a physical examination, Ji Ruochu, the rest-in-peace reincarnator in her previous life and now health preservation expert in this life, personally took charge of things and specified a schedule for the couple.
From then on, the constantly sleep deprived couple had to follow their little girl's schedule every day. If she ever discovered they were messing it up again, needless to say, the monthly family outing would be cancelled.
That was not all. To prevent the two from secretly conspiring, Ji Ruochu also set up a big “special mother-daughter/father-daughter outing gift package” that could be claimed by reporting violations. She directly destroyed the alliance between the husband and wife from the inside. Now she doesn’t even need to keep an eye on them anymore, with the couple competing against each other on their own accord to follow the rules.
This allowed Ji Ruochu to participate in the National Olympiad competition with more peace of mind.
In fact, back in middle school, she and the nine former Little Class i students were already immersed in the Olympiad. If not for the national regulations stipulating that only high school students could participate in the Olympiad competition, they would have already made names for themselves in the Capital Olympiad circles.
But good food is worth the wait.
The ten skipping fanatics, who had already privately killed their way in and out of the ocean of Olympiad problems countless times, finally embarked on the official competition road after entering high school with excellent grades.
That year, they were only twelve years old.
In July, in the pre-selection test paper issued by the provincial competition committee in Capital City, Ji Ruochu and the nine skipping fanatics passed the line with perfect scores.
In October of the same year, Ji Ruochu and company, who had officially become high school first graders, participated in the Capital City Olympiad competition league along with the original high school students.
