C12 Turn on the Skewers
Pei Kiu was not around these two days.
Yu Lian sighed at Pei Kiu's short-lived enthusiasm, then excitedly ran back to her bedroom, leaned on the balcony, and smoked a cigarette. In the smoke, she sighed again: she said that quitting smoking was as unbelievable as Pei Kiu saying love, although the latter never said so.
After a cigarette and a glass of honey water to moisten her throat, Yu Lian lay down on the sofa and confirmed once again her work for the next day.
The opening ceremony would be held at twelve o'clock in the suburbs of S City, and they would return to the center of the city at eight o'clock in the evening for the Sky Wolf press conference.
She packed everything into her big black bag, set the alarm clock, looked at the route, washed up, and fell asleep.
The next day, on the bus, her big black bag showed its usefulness. Yu Lixing was a car-sick person. In the city, he was fine. At most, after taking the car-sick medicine, his face would turn pale and his mind would go into a daze. But as soon as the bus pulled onto the dirt road, he finally couldn't take it anymore. His hand weakly rested on Soong Lan's leg, who was sitting beside him. At the last moment, he was saved by the plastic bag that Yu Lian handed him.
"How did this person become a reporter?" Yu Lian took out some paper, mineral water, and motion sickness pills from her big black bag and threw them all at Yu Lixing. Then she turned to Soong Lan, who was sitting beside her.
"He doesn't even get dizzy when he rides the subway, trains, and even taxis. It's just buses and buses..." Soong Lan said helplessly as she moved to the side in disgust.
"What a weirdo."
Yu Lixing felt better after vomiting. He raised his weak head and tried to defend himself. "I was going to take the subway and take a taxi until I calculated the fare..."
... ""
Then, to his surprise, Yu Lixing saw Yu Lian take out a small colorful bottle from her bag and spray it around him. Immediately, an indescribable smell was cleared away, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers.
"Perfume?" Yu Lixing asked curiously.
"A small bottle of air freshener. A certain treasure is nine yuan and nine yuan."
... ""
... ""
For a moment, the surrounding atmosphere was very quiet.
Finally, a warrior broke the silence.
"I like this fragrance. Which shop bought it?"
"Wait a moment, I'll share it with you."
... ""
... ""
Yu Lixing and Soong Lan looked at Lee Yu and Yu Lian, who seemed to have reached an agreement and started a heated discussion. They couldn't help but look at each other.
When they reached the site, they could see a green meadow in the distance, and when they got closer, they could see that the members of the crew were busy building frames of scenes with sticks of wood on their shoulders.
"The first scene will be filmed here. The director can't be bothered to choose a location, so we'll start filming here."
Yu Lian was speechless."
The director's surname was Zhao, and he was a famous director in the industry. He was famous for being serious and responsible, but after listening to Lee Yu's introduction, she felt that their director was also very special.
The bus slowly stopped.
Yu Lian jumped out of the car with her big bag on her back and took deep breaths of fresh air. Yu Lixing was finally relieved. He disposed of the plastic bag containing the vomit and sat down to absorb the energy.
A few minivans pulled up behind them, and as soon as the people in them got out, a few people surrounded them, and the director roared and scattered like a bird.
"Director Zhao."
Director Zhao greeted him with a smile and shook hands with him.
Yu Lian had just found a place to put her bag when she turned around. Her bright eyes lit up.
Clothes, pants, figure, hairstyle, and faint facial features! Wasn't this Toma Zhong Han?! During the New Year, she had gone to the cinema and watched a birthday film starring Zhong Han.
She subconsciously took out a mini camera from her bag and took a few pictures with a click. Only then did she realize that she had become a good person. Then, she looked at the blurry pictures in the camera and felt tears in her heart.
She missed out on the time when Sky Wolf first picked actors and took the fixed makeup photos, but that did not stop her from looking forward to her job and understanding of this TV series.
Zhong Han, the actor who played the male lead of Sky Wolf. Zhong Han was already over thirty years old, but he still looked young. He had once been honored as the Emperor, and had recently been developing in the film industry. It was rare for him to come to film a television series, and he had given him enough face and publicity.
Yu Lian quietly moved closer and happened to hear the conversation between Director Zhao and Zhong Han.
"Lu Qingqing isn't coming? It's a pity."
"She doesn't like to go out much. Maybe she thinks that the press conference tonight is the main event."
"That's true. Let's burn some incense and say a few words to stir up the crowd. Then we can have an outdoor barbecue..."
Zhong Han smiled and raised his hand to press down on the brim of his hat. At this moment, his handsome face bloomed with a gentle and bright flower.
"She will definitely regret what you said."
Director Zhao laughed without any grace.
At this time, the other actors and assistants also got out of the car. After greeting the director, they started to chat casually.
Celebrities, directors, assistants. In front of them was another circle, and it was very difficult for others to enter. Reporters were more like wandering souls on the edge of the circle, seeking the truth of the circle but never delving too deeply into it, especially in the entertainment circles, where they were actually not welcome.
Even so, her habit of being in the paparazzi circle all year round made her secretly take a few photos of this group of people.
...
Twelve o'clock. Everyone was present. A group of people had gathered, a table on the open grass, an incense burner on which the director had placed two sticks of incense.
Yu Lian was a reporter, so she didn't have to go on stage at all. Instead, she took out her notebook from her black bag and hid to the side to take notes. The director's few words were worth more than fifteen minutes of interview.
Finally, with the conclusion that we should all work together to produce a good piece of work, we immediately got the barbecue grill and the ingredients out of the bus's baggage compartment and made a racket about how we were going to have a barbecue together.
A few barbecue grills were set up. Compared to the number of people here, it was still not enough. However, when people gathered together, it was usually just for fun.
Yu Lian walked around the barbecue grill and returned with half a plate of kebabs. She then took out half a bag of bread slices, a small box of jam, and a folding knife from her backpack. When Yu Lixing saw this, he was dumbstruck.
"Damn, Yu Lian, bread, jam, knife... What do you not have?"
Yu Lian raised her eyebrows.
"Guess."
Yu Lixing looked at the big black bag.
"I think this bag of yours is like a four-dimensional bag from a dream. You can take anything out."
Yu Lian was very happy to hear this. She picked out the most dishes from the plate and handed them to Yu Lixing.
"Here, this is your reward."
"We're all surnamed Yu. You're too stingy."
"Nonsense. Our surnames are thousands of miles apart. Why are we even related?"
"We were the same cell tens of thousands of years ago. Why can't we be related?"
"Do you want me to talk to you about biology and science?"
"Aha -"
Yu Lixing was just about to express his understanding of this subject when he suddenly heard Soong Lan call out to him from not far away.
Yu Lian also heard it. She looked at Yu Lixing, who was standing beside her, and then looked at Soong Lan, who was standing not far away, with a playful smile on her face.
"Soong Lan, just in time. We were just talking about you!" Yu Lian smiled and waved at Soong Lan, gesturing for her to come over and sit.
Yu Lixing looked at her as if she was a monster.
Sigh, who told her to lie without drafting?
Soong Lan had never had a very good impression of her, but when she heard her words, she slowly walked over. When she got closer, Yu Lian could see Soong Lan's eyebrows knit together. She had the kind of elegant and refined beauty described in novels.
"What did you say about me just now?"
Yu Lian smiled and avoided the topic.
"Today, the wind is clear and the clouds are clear, and the grass is green. With such a beautiful time and scenery, why don't you ask the beauty to take a photo with you?"
Soong Lan looked at Yu Lixing suspiciously.
Yu Lixing looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle and then nodded heavily.
Yu Lian chuckled and ran to the side to call Lee Yu over. Lee Yu was a few years older than them. Although she was straightforward, she was more mature than them. Seeing Yu Lian winking at her, Lee Yu looked at Yu Lixing and Soong Lan beside her. She already had a plan in mind.
"How do I take it?" Soong Lan asked.
Yu Lian smiled proudly and took out a selfie stick from her bag. The BGM came with a clapper and showed everyone her face.
"Why do you even have this?!" Yu Lixing was shocked.
Yu Lian smiled and put her arm around Lee Yu's shoulder without saying a word. She raised her eyebrows provocatively at Yu Lixing. Yu Lian was a little lower than Lee Yu, and it was a little strange when she put her arm around Lee Yu's shoulder. However, the two of them blended together perfectly.
Yu Lixing had no other choice, so he could only smile at Soong Lan in embarrassment. Under Soong Lan's fiery gaze, he did not dare to do anything in the end. The two of them just stood side by side.
Soong Lan was a full 1.7 meters tall, and could be said to be tall and slender. Yu Lixing was a man, so he was definitely not short or tall. Two people in front and two behind, Yu Lian raised her selfie stick with a smile on her face.
"Come, come, come, one, two, three!"
A few photos were formed.
When the four of them gathered together to look at the photos, Soong Lan finally could not hold it in anymore and said, "Yu Lixing, where are you putting your hand?"
"I... I didn't do anything, my dear Miss Lan!"
The two of them started an intense discussion about this matter that was mixed with anger and helplessness.
Yu Lian made a shushing gesture at Lee Yu and quietly left the dog food scene with her. Only when they were far away did she feel embarrassed to smile at Lee Yu.
"I'm actually quite self-centered. If there's anything offensive, please point it out, Ms Yu."
Lee Yu glanced at her.
"It's okay."
Yu Lian smiled happily and looked in Soong Lan's direction, indicating something.
"I don't really care what others think of me. As for myself... as long as I'm happy."
Lee Yu brushed her long hair that was blown by the wind and said lightly, "You can't be happy?"
"Then try your best to be happy."
Yu Lian gave her a big smile. The dimples on her cheeks were as sweet as honey.
"You know..."
Lee Yu was interrupted by someone. She looked in the direction of the voice angrily and was shocked.
Zhong Han!?
"May I borrow the selfie stick in your hand? My assistant would like to take a few pictures."
"Of course, big brother. How about five skewers of meat in exchange?" Yu Lian smiled and showed him five fingers.
Zhong Han was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"Okay."
