CHAPTER 42: CHAPTER 42: CHARISMA

Tai Chi Boxing is a sport suitable for all ages, with gentle, slow, and graceful movements, perfect for relaxation and fitness.

Most importantly, it’s quick to learn. However, beginners usually have awkward movements.

But Tuanzi is patient, standing right at the front, teaching step by step.

"Brother Yang, like this, then like this."

Yang learned stiffly but eventually found it somewhat interesting.

By then, a crowd had gathered around.

Makeup artists and others who only work when needed usually are in standby mode. Additionally, actors who aren’t in scenes also joined to learn, adding to the freedom.

Noticing someone pulling out a phone to record, Tuanzi immediately waved a hand, "Do you want to learn?"

The person recording appeared awkward, "No, I don’t..."

"You can only record if you learn, no learning means no recording."

With a stern face, Tuanzi scolded, fiercely cute.

At that moment, several people seemed to see a young version of Director Gu.

It was quite unsettling.

The person recording quickly put down the phone and ran to Yang’s side, extending a hand.

Tuanzi kept a stern face, glancing at each one.

The power of a young Director Gu is formidable; some dared not continue recording, some wanted to record and joined the group to learn.

Unconsciously, a Tai Chi Boxing study group formed within the film crew.

With no night scenes today, after wrapping up, Gu Cheng thought of taking his sister for a stroll nearby.

When he arrived at the previous open area, he found a crowd gathered, with some seemingly filming.

He furrowed his brows; upon seeing him, someone quickly made way.

Gu Cheng walked straight to the front, discovering a young Tuanzi seriously teaching the crew staff Tai Chi Boxing.

"Are you holding a baby? Your arm needs to be higher."

"Leg, extend outward."

"Yes, your movement is very standard."

Tuanzi helped the study group members adjust their positions, then pattered to the front, "Alright, let’s go through it one last time."

She began with the starting posture.

The others mimicked earnestly.

Among them, some found interest and enjoyed studying.

Some learned only to record.

And some purely wanted to cozy up.

Gu Cheng glanced at a person recording, saying nothing, but his almond eyes were icy.

The person’s hand shook, mumbling an explanation, "Miaomiao said that learning allows recording."

He boasted, "I just learned the entire sequence!"

Gu Cheng maintained his cold demeanor, "Don’t upload randomly."

The person instantly wore a bitter expression; he learned so long just to ride the wave.

Now at night, videos of Tuanzi leading the Travel with Parents 2 staff in Tai Chi Boxing went viral.

Many netizens also shared their solo Tai Chi Boxing videos.

In any case, Tai Chi Boxing is trending online, with some people heading to parks to learn alongside elderly practitioners, achieving results far better than certain universities mandating students learn Tai Chi Boxing.

Gu Cheng, caring about his younger brother, is somewhat aware of some methods within the industry.

Considering his sister agreed to this, he didn’t want to make her break her promise. But he could control how it’s shared, minimizing the influence on her.

"You can post, but..."

He briefly stated the requirements.

The filming staff: "...Alright."

Following Director Gu’s request, the filming person also conveyed these requirements to others who filmed.

Those keeping it private or posting in their circle didn’t mind, but for those wanting to post publicly for hype, they must adhere to Gu Cheng’s requests.

So that day, an entertainer posted a video on a social platform.

[First day of crew workout check-in.]

Without proactively mentioning Gu Miaomiao, nor should fans be misled at the bottom regarding his relationship with Gu Miaomiao.

In short, video posting is allowed, but it’s only a workout check-in; no additional comments allowed.

Speaking otherwise would result in ’Gu Cheng’s stare.’

Actors and staff gradually posted workout check-ins.

Since they couldn’t write essays or verbally mislead fans or passersby, everyone acted like they were just learning Tai Chi Boxing out of boredom in the crew.

Some fans or passersby easily follow trends, since their favorite actors are exercising, they thought they might as well too. Their awkward Tai Chi Boxing looks prompted thoughts that they might perform better.

Unintentionally, those learning alongside increased, with some requesting more detailed instructional versions.

Those with other intentions: "..."

On the second day at the crew, by noon.

After finishing two lunch boxes, Tuanzi dragged her big brother along to leisurely walk for digestion.

"Alright, let’s go rest."

She pulled her big brother towards the lounge.

Gu Cheng: "I still need to..."

"No, you don’t."

Tuanzi earnestly dragged him, "When it’s resting time, take a proper rest; cherish your body."

She even brought up Gu Che.

"Second brother is also very worried about you; he always talks about how you used to work so hard you fainted and ended up in the hospital."

Gu Cheng: "...He’s mocking me."

"Not at all, he’s genuinely concerned."

Tuanzi finally managed to drag him into the lounge.

She stood with hands on hips, confidently said, "Second brother usually hardly speaks, but he often complains you’re a workaholic, laments you work too vigorously; it’s all because he cares about your health. He never talks like this about others."

Seeing Gu Cheng’s indifferent expression, Tuanzi encouraged further, "Why not hand the phone to Miaomiao, let Miaomiao send second brother a message to see his response."

Gu Cheng did hand the phone to Tuanzi.

Tuanzi, not too good at typing, handed the phone back to him, "Miaomiao says, you type."

Gu Cheng had no choice but to open the chat with his brother.

[Second brother, big brother is overworked and hospitalized, what should we do?]

Gu Cheng: "..."

He looked up to see his sister’s gentle face, and spoke difficulty, "This is deceiving."

"It’s a test."

Gu Cheng refused to type, even when Tuanzi pouted, it didn’t work.

Tuanzi puffed her cheeks, snatched the phone back, and, guided by the system, started sending a voice message.

Sending a voice message is much simpler than typing.

"Second brother, big brother works too hard, Miaomiao can’t persuade him, what should we do?"

Half a minute later, Gu Che replied, and it was a voice message lasting half a minute.

Tuanzi stretched out her little finger to tap it.

From the phone came the irritated voice of the top star.

"He’s just like that, never cares about his health, practically a workaholic. Less work for a while..."

A pile of complaints.

Before anyone pointed it out, perhaps the complaints were just complaints; Gu Cheng assumed his brother disliked his ways.

Once pointed out, Gu Cheng tried feeling it, sensing the care underneath those complaining words, uniquely his brother’s awkward care.

The snow in his eyes started melting.

Gu Cheng was about to take the phone to offer some care to his brother when Gu Che sent another voice message.

"Miaomiao, second brother teaches you a trick, knock him out and drag him to the room, he’ll rest."

Gu Cheng: "..."

Publicity Minister Tan Sheng took a video to the president.

"Take a look, this is that child’s charm."
