2. The deceased
"How's it going, did you run into you?" Zhang Ming asked Zhou Huai with palpitations.
"It's okay," Zhou Huai took his eyes back: "Go back quickly, Director Wang will look for you in a while, don't find anyone again." ”
Seeing Wu An provoking Zhou Huai one after another, Zhang Ming was very angry in his heart, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to endure the anger that had rushed to his throat, and nodded at Zhou Huai: "That's okay, you," he swallowed: "You go back and be careful." ”
"Don't worry." Zhou Huai patted him on the shoulder: "See you tomorrow." ”
After Zhang Ming left, Zhou Huai walked slowly to a Roewe and took out the car keys from his pocket. This second-hand Roewe was bought by him for less than 100,000 yuan from a car dealer friend at the beginning of this year, but this car has almost used up most of his savings. There is no way, the location of the crew is too remote, and they often can't even take a taxi.
This time coincided with the rush hour, the road was jammed, and the usual less than an hour's drive was almost two hours, and by the time Zhou Huai arrived home, the sky had completely sunk.
As soon as he inserted the key into the lock, there was a "click", and the next moment the door was pushed open.
"This kid! Didn't you say you'd be back in the afternoon? Look, it's all dark! As soon as the door opened, Zhou's mother Qiu Hui blamed anxiously.
Zhou Huai smiled good-naturedly: "The crew temporarily pressed the scene and came back late." ”
"Your father and your brother have been waiting for you for a long time," Zhou's mother said in a strange tone, but her face was undisguised with concern: "Why are you pressing the drama again?" If you want me to say that your job is too hard, otherwise you won't do it well, and you won't be able to make money. ”
Zhou Huai only smiled faintly and did not speak. It's true that you can make money anywhere, but you don't always have this job to make much money.
He was changing his slippers in the living room, and a boy who looked like he was seven or eight years old came out of the bedroom: "Brother, you're back." ”
Immediately afterwards, Zhou's father also came out and nodded at Zhou Huai: "Come back and come over for dinner." ”
Zhou's father, Zhou Shifeng, is almost fifty years old this year, and he has been working in a chemical factory before. But since a few years ago, his health has been a little bad, he often coughs, and after being fired from the factory, he started a small business. It's not easy to do a small business in this environment now, so I can barely make ends meet. It wasn't until Zhou Huai worked that the life of the Zhou family got better.
Father Zhou's temper is very strict, and he pays attention to food and does not say anything, so the whole meal of the four people only ate silently, and no one spoke.
Zhou Huai's younger brother Zhou Nianzi took a few bites to clean the rice chop in the bowl and pushed it forward: "I've eaten it." ”
Zhou Shifeng raised his eyes and glanced at him: "After eating, go into the house to do your homework." ”
Zhou Nianzi let out an "oh", quietly glanced at Zhou Huai, and obediently entered the room.
After Zhou Huai waited for Zhou's father and mother to use it, he first helped to put the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen, and then went to Zhou Nianzi's bedroom. As soon as he entered the bedroom, Zhou Nianzi's dark eyes widened, and he made a gesture to close the door at him.
Zhou Huai smiled, closed the door with his backhand and walked towards him: "What's sneaky?" ”
"Brother," Zhou Nianzi looked at Zhou Huai with a blank eye: "Lend me some money." ”
Zhou Huai glanced at him: "What do you want money for?" ”
"Eat."
Zhou Huai took out a hundred bills from his wallet and handed it to him, Zhou Nianzi craned his neck and looked at his wallet: "It's not enough, brother, give me some more." ”
Zhou Huai raised his eyebrows: "What do you want so much for?" ”
"Xiao Xian has taken a fancy to a schoolbag, and recently my father has compressed my pocket money, and I am short of money."
Xiaoxian is Zhou Nianzi's childhood sweetheart, and the two have been at the same table since elementary school, and their relationship is very good.
Zhou Huai took out Zhang and handed it to him, and asked casually: "Is Dad's business bad recently?" ”
"Well," Zhou Nianzi lowered his head and put the money away: "I got a sixty-seven in the math test, and he scolded me all night yesterday." I was supposed to wait for you to come back to save me, but who knew that I would catch up with you to work overtime," he pouted at Zhou Huai: "I knew that I would sign the roll of paper for him today." ”
Zhou Huai raised his hand and knocked on Zhou Nianzi's head: "If I came back last night, I would scold you." ”
"Hehe," Zhou Nianzi smiled and rubbed his head: "You won't, brother, you love me the most." ”
Zhou Huai looked at Zhou Nianzi with messy hair and looked at himself and smirked, and couldn't help but smile at the corners of his lips: "Don't always think about playing all day, when the time comes, Xiaoxian's grades will be ruined, and Uncle Yang won't clean you up." ”
"Oh." Zhou Nianzi answered obediently, lowered his head and continued to warm up the book.
Because there was only a scene in the afternoon the next day, Zhou Huai slept comfortably, and then drove to the set after lunch. I don't know if Director Wang's temper played a role yesterday, Wu An actually arrived on the set early, and when he saw Zhou Huai coming over, he didn't even say hello, he just closed his eyes and closed his eyes.
Zhou Huai didn't pay attention to him, and went directly to the dressing room on the side to change clothes, and smoothed out the lines by the way. This scene is a group scene, and there is also a rivalry with the male number one Huo Yan, so we have to pay more attention to it.
Huo Yan is the male number one in this play, although he is not yet thirty-three years old, but with his superb acting skills and handsome appearance, he has just won the Best Actor at this Vientiane Awards, which can be said to be very popular. The pressure on the actor with such a card position cannot be said to be small, which is why Wu An, who has always liked to press him with a late arrival, also arrived on the set early today.
Zhou Huai doesn't have much acting experience, but he has a good understanding, and he is willing to work hard to study the script, so even this kind of group drama in the face of many big names is not timid. In contrast, Wu An is much more depressed, he relied on bringing money into the group to get this role, which was usually NG constantly, and now he is almost dropping the chain one after another with so many old drama bones, and in the end, not only the protagonists are displeased, but even Director Wang is considering whether to directly change Wu An's group drama.
After a scene, not only were others tired enough, but Wu An was sweating profusely, and his whole beautiful little face was pale. As soon as the director shouted "click", he immediately lowered his head and entered his lounge, and never came out after that.
Zhou Huai was standing at the door of the studio with his head tilted and pouring mineral water, and Zhang Ming came over gloatingly: "Hey! You see Wu An's face, it's so dark that it's almost catching up with the bottom of the pot! ”
"See," Zhou Huai casually threw the finished mineral water bottle into the trash: "It's pretty good." ”
Zhang Ming was about to tease a few more words, but he was suddenly slammed and rushed forward two steps in succession. After he stood firm, he looked up and saw that it was Wu An.
Wu An was obviously still on fire, so he didn't even look at him and walked out directly. Zhang Ming watched his back disappear completely, and then asked Zhou Huai a little stunned: "Gone?" Isn't there another play with him in a while? ”
Zhou Huai also looked in that direction for a while, and then retracted his gaze: "I don't know, let's go back first." ”
When the two of them returned to the set, they learned that the female number one Wang Qiu Mei accused Wu An of delaying time, and Director Wang had no choice but to change the plan temporarily, and Wu An's part asked him to come back tomorrow morning to make up the film.
Except for Wu An, who brought money into the group, most of these dramas are old drama bones, and they are even more familiar with filming this kind of group drama. As soon as Wu An left, almost all the scenes were passed, and the expression on Director Wang's face was also a lot more cloudy.
After the filming of these scenes, it was a little earlier than expected. Because there was no scene with Zhou Huai for the next two days, he went directly to the garage to pick up the car and prepare to go home after finishing work.
By this time, it was already dark, but the evening breeze was still blowing in through the car window. Zhou Huai closed the car window, reached out to unbutton the neckline, turned on the air conditioner, and turned on the radio casually.
"On July 3, Beijing time, Yihai Group announced that He Dong, the former global vice president of CEFC and the founder of Xinmao Global R&D Center, has officially joined Yihai Group on June 30 as senior vice president of Yihai Group, responsible for the ...... of Yihai Group"
In this regard, the executive vice president of Yihai Group ......"
Zhou Huai's pupils shrank slightly, the fingers holding the steering wheel tightened, and he was just about to reach out to turn up the sound of the announcement, when he suddenly heard a faint knock on the car window.
He turned his head and saw the driver in the right lane next door sticking out half of his head and gesturing at him.
Zhou Huai rolled down the window, and the voice of the driver on the opposite side came in: "Brother, your car has a flat tire!" ”
Zhou Huai was stunned for a moment, only to find that the steering wheel had become heavy, the road noise was very loud, and the car was still a little flickering.
He hurriedly thanked the driver in the right lane and pulled over to the side of the road. After getting out of the driver's seat, I found that the right rear tire had been deflated a lot, and it seemed that it couldn't be driven. The nearest repair department is also a few kilometers away, so you have to replace the spare tire first.
Zhou Huai squatted down and pressed the deflated tire, and then opened the trunk and took out the spare tire. He first removed the decorative cover on the side to be replaced with a zigzag change cone, wiped it with a towel by the way, and then began to loosen the screws.
The screws were tightened, and it took Zhou Huai a lot of effort to loosen one, and he was squatting on the ground to put the jack, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice above his head: "Little master." ”
