Chapter 131: You Can't Afford to Lose If It's Dirty
After getting off the plane, a special car came to pick them up.
And when Zhao Mengran saw that it was only an old van that came to pick them up, her face was so stinky that it was as if the people present owed her millions, and sat on the leisure chair arranged by the assistant and said willfully, "I'm not going." ”
Seeing this, everyone's faces were not very good, especially the young driver who came to pick them up, with an embarrassed smile on his dark skin, standing helplessly beside the dusty van, at a loss.
Li Shijin's face was gloomy, his eyes were shining with cold light, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Not going?" ”
"That's right! Not going! ”
"Okay, okay, I'll call Pinvor right now and cancel your role!"
Zhao Mengran sneered, she was not afraid that Li Shijin would cancel her role, she had Huo Yichen behind her, and she was not afraid of anyone.
However, others changed their expressions, and the photographer's eldest brother immediately comforted, "Director Li, now that the movie is halfway through, you have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages for temporary actors." ”
"Get out of here!"
"Director Li, you dissipate your anger first, I know that you are not short of liquidated damages, but Master Diao is right, seeing that the movie is almost finished, not to mention the cost of temporary replacement of actors, it has a drastic impact on the quality of the movie itself, and this movie is not only Director Li's hard work, but also the hard work of all of us!"
Lin Xi's soft and hard words finally softened Li Shijin's face, but he was still holding the mobile phone in his hand.
On the other hand, Zhao Mengran's agent is also constantly persuading, but no matter how she says that being an actor and being suddenly removed from the role is a humiliation, Zhao Mengran is unmoved.
Cold sweat gradually slipped down his forehead, and the agent had a flash of inspiration, and changed his words, "Mengran, if Director Li's call reaches Pinwo's side, Pinwu will tell Mr. Huo again, won't it have an impact on your image in Mr. Huo's heart?" ”
Zhao Mengran, who had just been closing his eyes and cultivating, suddenly raised his eyelids, frowned and groaned for a while, and finally agreed to get into the van. After surviving a big difficulty, the big guys invariably breathed a sigh of relief, and they all cheered up and squeezed into the car.
The word squeeze is used because there are a total of seven people stuffed in the van: the director, the cameraman, the driver, the two leading actors, Lin Xi and Zhao Mengran, as well as Zhao Mengran's agent and assistant.
In order to save unnecessary trouble, Lin Xi deliberately didn't bring Bai Mengmeng, in fact, Miss Zhao did a good job, at least she didn't bring the other three assistants in one go......
The road in the mountains is extremely difficult to walk, there are potholes along the way, and in the continuous bumps, Zhao Mengran has proposed to rest for a while several times.
After another break, Lin Xi took out his mobile phone in a daze, wanting to send a text message to Huo Yichen but didn't know what to say, saying that I arrived, everything is safe seems too simple, let's say more, Huo Yichen's kind of busy person may not finish reading.
"Sister Lin wants to call and text her family, take your phone for so long."
Lin Xichong smiled at the photography brother, "I'm still thinking about whether to send a text message." ”
"Fat! Are all loved ones, what else do you need to consider? Sister Lin, if you go a little further, there will be no signal! ”
"Okay, I got it."
Lin Xi nodded, and after the photography brother left, she began to edit the text message, but somehow, she wanted to explain it briefly in one or two sentences, but there were more and more words, and in the end, she typed hundreds of words, like a running account diary, especially the fleshy sentence I want to kill you added at the end, which made this text message look more like a love letter.
When did she and Huo Yichen have so much to say?
Frowning, Lin Xi decided to give up editing, but just as she was about to press her finger, a shy voice sounded, "That, are you really a big star on TV?" ”
Lin Xi was stunned, but his fingers were uncontrollably pressed on the send button!
Well, now the text message can't even be withdrawn......
At the same time, Huo's Group -
In the conference room, Huo Yichen was in a meeting, when the mobile phone next to him suddenly vibrate.
While listening to the secretary's report, he casually clicked on it and took a look.
Then, all the employees and subordinates present saw a rare scene in a thousand years-
Their top boss, who almost never smiled in the company, actually looked at his phone, his brow slowly relaxed, and then let out a pleasant chuckle......
Looking at the meaty text messages sent in the past, Lin Xi twitched the corners of his mouth, quickly accepted this tragic reality, raised his head to look at the driver guy with a nervous and shy face, and nodded to him kindly.
She's unlucky, so she can't be angry with others.
"Wow! It's really a big star! I don't believe that the village chief asked me to pick you up, which big star will come to our poor and remote place if he has nothing to do, but I believe it when I see your temperament, haha, the village chief didn't play me, I was the first person in the village to see a star! ”
The young driver spoke in Mandarin, a strong dialect, and for the first time showed a sincere smile on his simple face.
Lin Xi then smiled: "Then you have to thank you, the village chief." ”
"Yes, but the village chief shouldn't be able to do it, after all, I'm the only person in the village who has a driver's license." The young man puffed up proudly.
"So ...... car?"
"It was bought by the village a few years ago, and the only car in the village, the people in the village did not agree at the beginning, saying that how could they have the money to buy such an iron lump? But the village chief insisted on buying it, 12,000, he paid 6,000 himself, and for this matter, he also blushed with the people in the village for the first time! ”
"Oh, I see......"
Lin Xi was suddenly a little touched, it turned out that there were some things you hated to die, but it was others who worked hard to get them for you.
chatted with the driver, and Lin Xi learned that the other party's name was Zhao Qiang, and during the filming of the public welfare short film, they all had to live in Zhao Qiang's house.
"Drip-"
The text message prompt on the mobile phone sounded, Lin Xi hurriedly checked, and Huo Yichen only replied with just eight words, "Work hard, don't be distracted." ”
Cut, what, that's all, I didn't even think about it.
Lin Xi blinked, and couldn't stop complaining in his heart, but his body honestly read the short eight words over and over again, and finally, Li Shijin urged, everyone got back in the car, and hurried to the destination before dark.
Along the way, Lin Xi chatted with the honest photographer brother while watching the scenery, the time flew by, at more than six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky had just been dark, and the car finally drove to the bottom of the mountain.
"It rained yesterday, and it was easy to get stuck in the mud while driving, so it was better for us to walk into the village." Zhao Qiang kindly reminded.
Li Shijin looked at the muddy ground and casually asked, "How long do you have to walk?" ”
"It's not far, it's twenty minutes away."
"That's okay, everyone take their luggage and follow Zhao Qiang into the village." Li Shijin said and looked at Lin Xi, "Lin Xi, are you doing it alone?" ”
"Sister Lin, I'll carry your things for you!" Zhao Qiang volunteered.
"It's okay, it's okay, I don't have much to bring, it's no problem at all!"
Seeing that Lin Xi didn't need his help, Zhao Qiang went to ask Zhao Mengran, and the other party unceremoniously let him carry two duffel bags on his chest and back, and he was still carrying one in his hand.
"Be careful, you can't afford to get dirty."
Zhao Mengran glared at Zhao Qiang.
You say that the same surname, five hundred years ago, it was a family, why bother?
Lin Xi glanced at Zhao Qiang, and took the bag he was carrying, "Let's go." ”
Zhao Qiang was a little flattered, "Lin, Lin Daxing, let's come." ”
"I'll help you pick it up, you're still carrying such a big bag."
Zhao Qiang hurriedly thanked him, unintentionally glanced at Zhao Mengran, suddenly paused, frowned and said, "Miss, your shoes are ......"
Everyone glanced at Zhao Mengran's shoes, high heels, ten centimeters.
Zhao Mengran snorted disdainfully, pruned "Don't worry about you" and then stepped on the muddy dirt road, stepping into the dirt with high heels, and instantly changed.
“……”
Lin Xi and the others watched the brilliant star Zhao Mengran carefully stepping on the dirt and walking, and the scene was inexplicably disobedient.
The photographer said silently, "Sister Lin, did you say this scene reminded you of a show?" ”
Lin Xi: "What?"
Metamorphosis ......
Halfway through, Zhao Mengran's high heels were completely ruined, and seeing that her face was gloomy and she was about to say no to shooting, her agent immediately proposed that she carry her away, and twenty minutes later, the seven people finally saw the village and the relatively easy to walk ground.
"Miss, your shoes are ruined." Zhao Qiang was full of distress, in the village, a pair of shoes was enough for them to wear for several years.
"Can you handle it?"
Zhao Mengran said angrily.
Zhao Qiang was speechless, and led everyone to the second house after entering, a small yard enclosed by a fence fence, although it looked dilapidated, but it was still clean.
"This is my home." Zhao Qiang smiled heartily: "Mom, Dad, I'm back!" ”
Out of the humble room came two old men on crutches and their bodies slumped, their faces covered with deep wrinkles due to years of labor, but there was the most simple smile in their eyes.
"Hello, we'll be staying at your house for a few days, sorry to cause you trouble."
Li Shijin stepped forward and bowed to the two old men very politely.
The two old men then said a bunch of words, but they were all dialects, and none of the people present understood.
"Mom and Dad mean that you don't have to be restrained, you invest in the village, it's too late for them to thank you, let's go into the house quickly, my parents have cooked for everyone."
"Hmph."
Zhao Mengran didn't say anything, and took the lead in entering the house.
followed by her agent, assistant, and photography brother......
Li Shijin seemed to have something to talk to the two old men, while Zhao Qiang stood next to him and acted as a translator.
Lin Xi was about to enter the house, and caught a glimpse of a little boy hiding behind a big water tank and looking at her, the little boy's skin was dark, and the clothes on his body were gray, but his big eyes were very watery and very good-looking.
Lin Xi's heart softened, and he took out a box of fruit gummies from his bag, "Here, this is delicious." ”
She couldn't help but think of the last time she wanted to give candy to those cute children, but because of Huo Yichen, she didn't do it in the end.
