Chapter 3: The Dinner Party
Xu Ming didn't pretend anymore when he saw this, he followed Jack's example and approached Ruth with his hands in his pockets.
With some rhetoric, he managed to make Ruth feel how painful it would be to jump into the icy water, and dispel her desire to jump into the sea.
Next, Ruth stepped on the railing and was stopped by Jack, the cry for help called the crew, Ruth's fiancΓ© Carl appeared and had a misunderstanding, and after Ruth explained, Carl invited Jack to a noble dinner......
Everything happened so naturally that after everyone left, Xu Ming couldn't help but marvel at his acting skills.
If I had this kind of acting skills, wouldn't the entertainment industry be casually entered? β
The thought only flashed through his mind.
He knew that he was so familiar with the road because he crossed into Jack, and if he had changed himself, he was afraid that she would have jumped off when he said the first thing to Ruth.
After smoking a high-end cigarette given by Karl's attendant, Xu Ming put the camera and small video camera back, and the lens captured by the three cameras was completely enough to be used as a start.
'Do you want to shoot something during the day tomorrow?' β
The main purpose of his coming to this world is to shoot a video of Ruth and Jack dancing and playing together in the third class after the aristocratic dinner, focusing on appearance and love.
As a test video, it doesn't need to be very high-level.
With the handsome and beautiful heroes and heroines dancing hotly, coupled with some shots to reflect the process of falling in love between a poor boy and a noble beauty, many people must have bought it.
In the end, Xu Ming decided to shoot a little flirtatious girl's daily life, he pinned a small camera to his chest, although the shooting effect may not be very good, but there are always clips that can be used.
The next morning, he went to the deck with the album and met with Ruth.
According to the plot in his memory, Xu Ming talked to her a lot.
Ruth scoffs at the cumbersome manners of the upper nobility, and she thinks their lives are too contrived.
Xu Ming took advantage of this and talked about his rich experience when Ruth looked through his album.
Take, for example, the many women he met in the capital of the Gallic rooster.
Ruth was quickly attracted, and Xu Ming took advantage of the situation to launch an offensive.
When Ruth praised him for his talent for drawing.
A sentence "You can see through people, I can see through you." It made her tremble.
'Oh my God, is this talent?!' β
When walking with Ruth, Xu Ming couldn't help but sigh.
Although he can predict some things in advance, he didn't expect to be able to flirt with his sister so smoothly.
Jack may be a natural likable, and Xu Ming obviously feels that his ability to speak has been greatly improved after entering this body.
As he got to know each other better, Xu Ming taught Ruth how to spit at dusk according to the plot.
He knew that Mrs. Morley, who was known as "unsinkable", would come to deliver the suit.
Sure enough, when he showed Ruth how to spit farther, Mrs. Morley came.
She was accompanied by Ruth's mother and several noble ladies.
It was evident from her mother's eyes that the snobbish lady hated herself.
In this regard, Xu Ming could only respond with a smile.
Dinner rings, and Ruth is pulled away by her mother.
"See you at the restaurant, Jack."
Ruth, who was being held by the hand, looked back and said.
"Do you know what you're doing, young man?"
Mrs. Morley asked after the others had gone.
Her husband made his fortune from the gold mines and was considered a nouveau riche, so the old nobles did not like him very much.
"I don't know."
Xu Ming replied truthfully.
"You're breaking into a wolf's den." Mrs. Morley warned with good intentions.
Immediately, he stared at the slightly shabby set of clothes on Xu Ming's body and asked, "What are you wearing for the banquet?" β
Xu Ming spread his hands, and Jack only had this outfit.
"Of course not, follow me, kid." Mrs. Morley took Xu Ming's hand and led him to her room.
She put on a suit of her son's suit for Xu Ming, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, you and my son are about the same size." β
Looking at the handsome shape in the mirror, Xu Ming was shocked, if Jack just now was the handsome prodigal son of the rivers and lakes, then now he is definitely the so-called "senior handsome" of the elite.
The banquet begins.
To be honest, Xu Ming felt that this banquet was really not interesting.
Men keep their hands behind their backs, talk as elegantly as possible, and force a smile when they don't like things.
The woman, on the other hand, took the man's hand and smiled in response to the false praise of the others.
Except, of course, Mrs. Morley, who always told jokes in a crowd of nobles, and laughed herself from ear to ear.
At the dinner table, Ruth's mother has been belittling Jack, consciously or unconsciously.
"Tell us about the third class, Mr. Dawson, I heard that it was very good."
She said directly, wanting to embarrass Xu Ming.
"That's true, ma'am, and there's hardly any mouse to be seen."
He replied generously, not paying attention.
Xu Ming's head has been thinking about how to install the camera.
After all, the third-class cabin is too small and chaotic, and a careless camera can be damaged or relocated, resulting in incomplete video.
Until Ruth's mother asked him, "Does Mr. Dawson like this wandering life?" β
Xu Mingcai smiled and made a classic speech.
"Yes, ma'am, I like it!"
"I mean, I like to face different things and people every day so I don't lose myself."
"Yesterday I slept under the flyover, and today I got on a cruise ship and came to you rich people."
"Life is impermanent, the world is unpredictable, accept the arrangement that fate gives you, don't waste your time."
When he finished speaking, Mrs. Morley was the first to exclaim: "Well said, Jack! β
"Well said, well said!"
The other nobles followed suit.
Ruth held up her wine: "Let's have a toast!" β
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone raised champagne.
"To freedom!"
Ruth winked at Xu Ming, a bright smile on her face.
It was clear that Ruth was very happy with his performance.
The aristocratic men had to gather together to talk after dinner, and Xu Ming learned from Jack to stuff a small note for Ruth, and hurried back to the third-class hall.
At this time, the people in the third class had not yet eaten, and only people sat together drinking and playing cards.
Xu Ming went to the center stage, placed the camera in the air vent in the ceiling, and carefully adjusted the angle.
The first small camera was fixed to a pillar by him, and then covered with a wine bottle, so that he could not see it without looking closely.
The second was placed by him on the window for long shots, which of course was also covered with newspapers.
The last small camera was still hanging on the outside of his suit pocket, and the footage from this camera was certainly too cluttered to be used, but it was worth it as long as a few close-up shots were taken.
The installation process went smoothly, and Xu Ming let out a long breath.
Now everything is ready, only Ruth's arrival.
The video material of this hot dance is very important, and the effect of the edited video depends on his performance!
After adjusting his mentality, Xu Ming shook his clothes and prepared to go to the first class cabin to pick up Ruth.
