Recalcitrant

"Tell me to the small kitchen, don't put peppers in the dishes these days, use less salt and less oil, and by the way, put less green onions." Jiang Xiaobo glanced at the memo on the phone, and continued to mutter: "Put more peppers in the room." Bottle of mineral water, kettle, sanitary ware and bathroom, all disinfected once, I will send you the brand of toiletries, remember to prepare in advance..."

"No Man's Land" tells the story of a young man in a desperate situation who goes deep into the Tibetan area and meets a girl. The two redeem each other through mutual understanding. It went well.

During the interval of equipment debugging, Chen Zhuo wore earphones to check the audio effects recorded on the spot just now, and did not forget to listen to Jiang Xiaobo explaining the precautions for the next few days to the little girl on site.

Jiang Xiaobo didn't put too much thought into it, and read the memo on the phone according to the script: "When you turn down the bed, remember to prepare..."

The scene manager's head was pounding like garlic, and his writing was flying like a fly. Hearing this, he couldn't help reminding him: "Brother Jiang, the hotel that our crew has booked is only a two-star hotel, and there is no turndown service."

Jiang Xiaobo was right after thinking about it, so he gave up and continued to read the next one.

I heard that Boss Lu will come to inspect the crew soon, and the crew must make preparations in advance. The things Jiang Xiaobo talked about are all Lu Shaoheng's reception requirements.

Jiang Xiaobo led the field affairs, and the two read and wrote one by one, and quickly explained the matters that needed attention.In the end, the little girl offered a flattery at the right time: "Brother Jiang is really amazing. He has a great ability to work, and he even understands the boss's preferences so clearly."

When Jiang Xiaobo heard this, his eyes rolled to the sky. He didn't have the heart to understand Lu Shaoheng's preferences, but he didn't bother to explain anything.

The field manager checked the content recorded earlier, but did not notice Jiang Xiaobo's impatience, and continued to ask: "Are there any other requirements?"

Before Jiang Xiaobo answered, Chen Yao took off his earphones and added, "Change him to a pair of shorter pillows."

The little girl nodded and took a pen to record it.

This one-page-full page of precautions is numerous and complicated. It can be seen that this boss is delicate and loves to be a monster, and he can't bear any hardship.Thinking of this, the scene manager had a flash of inspiration, and he blurted out the words before he thought about it: "In our group, the room belonging to the director has the best conditions. Instead of being so troublesome, why not just arrange for Mr. Lu to live in Director Chen's room?"

Besides, these two are still a couple. As the saying goes, a little fare is better than a new love, so there is no inconvenience in living together.

The girl on set was telling the truth. In such a poor hotel near the set, Chen Yan's room was actually very good. Not to mention the excellent view from the window, the room was also large, and it was a small suite with a living room.

It's not that Chen Zhuo is taking advantage of his status as a director for convenience, but it's just that when he joined the group, it was arranged like this, and I don't know who wrote it.

Jiang Xiaobo had recently become a bit emotional towards Lu Shaoheng. Hearing what the field manager said, he was so angry that he stared aside, and was about to raise an objection on the spot.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yao said at this time: "Then prepare him a room card of my room, if he likes it, give it to him."

The little girl complied.

Now that the matter has been arranged properly, Chen Zhuo didn't worry about it anymore and continued to work.For a film project, the earlier the director intervenes in script creation, the more beneficial it will be for the operation of the project.

But because the former director ran away halfway, when Chen Yan took over "No Man's Land", it was already past the preparatory stage of the film.At this time, no matter whether it is the script, actors, or the post-production team of photography art, etc., they have all been finalized, and there is no possibility of large-scale adjustments. Therefore, while Chen Zhuo was pushed to the position of director by Lu Shaoheng with threats, he had to spend time and energy To understand and even to run each department.

After the field manager left, Jiang Xiaobo's eyes could not help but fall on Chen Yao.Chen Yao was willing to start filming again, and Jiang Xiaobo was also very happy. In a sense, he was grateful to Lu Shaoheng.

So far, everything is going well, and Chen Zhuo is well qualified for this job.Especially during this period, all the shooting went smoothly, and many difficult shots were almost passed in two or three times, and the crew enjoyed themselves from top to bottom.

But it was the unusual "smoothness" that made Jiang Xiaobo faintly worried.

Naturally, the boss's itinerary will not be reported to the crew, not to mention when Lu Shaoheng will arrive, even whether he will come or not is still unknown.

There were several night shows in the evening, and it was close to ten o'clock when work was over.There will be a half day off tomorrow morning, Chen Zhuo has reserved a few tables in the city, and invites everyone to have a midnight snack.

When the car passed by the hotel where the crew was staying, Chen Zhuo looked up inadvertently and saw that the lights were on in his room.

"Pull the car over for a while." Chen Zhuo sat up straight.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Xiaobo turned around in confusion: "Did something fall?"

"No, I'm a little tired suddenly, go back and rest first." Chen Yao unbuckled his seat belt: "You go, have fun."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yao ignored Jiang Xiaobo's questioning, opened the door and got out of the car.

Chen Zhuo didn't look too far, his room was indeed brightly lit, the TV in the small living room was turned on, and there was a brand new room card inserted in the card slot.The light in the bedroom leaked through the crack of the door, and Chen Zhuo's chest seemed to be suddenly stuffed with ten thousand noisy birds, fluttering violently.

He didn't stay outside the door for too long, closed the door gently, and walked towards the bedroom.

However, as soon as he pushed open the half-closed door, the smile on his face that he didn't even notice disappeared immediately.

The person waiting in the room was not the person Chen Zhuo thought.

Yang Xinyi didn't know when she came here. She was wearing a translucent lace pajamas, sitting on Chen Zhuo's bed in a provocative half-kneeling posture.

"Why are you here?" Chen Zhuo stopped outside the door and stopped moving forward.

When Yang Xinyi saw Chen Zhuo, she straightened up first, called "Director Chen", and then said: "There are some parts in the script that I don't quite understand, I hope you can explain it to me."

Yang Xinyi's intentions are already very obvious, and such things are not new in the crew.

However, Chen Zhuo tonight didn't plan to push the boat along. He took a step back and said, "It's too late today. If there is anything to do, we can talk about it tomorrow on the set."

But Yang Xinyi didn't intend to stop there. Regardless of Chen Zhuo's refusal, she quickly turned over and got out of bed, plunged into Chen Zhuo's arms, and hurriedly began to untie his clothes.

Yang Xinyi's appearance is that of a pure little flower, but her undressing and undressing movements are so familiar and smooth, without a trace of hesitation. Under such a sharp contrast, it is difficult for a man to refuse.

But Chen Yao still found that her whole body was trembling.

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Yan grabbed the girl's wrist and made her look at him.

As soon as she met Chen Zhuo's eyes, the girl's hands began to tremble suddenly, her feet went limp, and she collapsed to the ground.With sharp eyes and quick hands, Chen Zhuo quickly helped him up.

Yang Xinyi was already extremely nervous, and just now she was just pretending to be calm, but now she couldn't hold on any longer, and burst into tears.

When it comes to how to make girls happy, although Chen Zhuo is not as handy as Lu Shaoheng, he still has his own method.But Chen Zhuo didn't do anything today, just supported Yang Xinyi, let her sit on the sofa, and poured her another glass of water.

Tonight it was clearly Yang Xinyi's "self-recommended pillow mat", but now she was crying hoarsely, as if she had been greatly wronged.Chen Yao didn't bother her, but waited until she had cried enough and was tired, before asking, "What happened?"

The girl wiped away her tears, her eyes were red, and she explained the ins and outs to Chen Zhuo.

After some communication, it turned out that it was an oolong.

Yang Xinyi has just entered her sophomore year this year and is studying at the Film Academy. This is her first time acting in a movie, and it is the girlhood of the heroine.

With Chen Yan's work habits, he needs to spend time training the actors before each shooting. He usually uses observation to understand the actors' personalities, and then uses different training methods for different actors.

Due to the short preparation time, he didn't even meet the actors before joining the group, so he put this work that was originally part of the early stage in the group to complete.

This is where the problem lies. The careful girl found that when the director was on the set, he often stared at her intently, his eyes seemed to mean something.And I don't know if she was careless, but during the official filming, no matter how hard she tried, the director could always pick out her faults.

Just like yesterday, when she met the hero for the first time, she expressed her "heartbeat" emotional scene.She acted over and over again according to the director's request, but she just couldn't get through.

The girl just entered the industry. Every time she shoots, she feels a little nervous. The more nervous she is, the more likely she is to make mistakes. Such a vicious circle makes her shooting very difficult, which seriously affects the progress.

It was the first time for Yang Xinyi to face such a situation, and she didn't know what to do. Later, after being instructed by an expert in the group, she finally realized what the director had been hinting at her during this period of time.

After the girl figured it out, she shut herself in the room, cried hard, then wiped away her tears, put on the sexiest clothes, and waited in Chen Zhuo's room.

On the way here, Yang Xinyi had already thought very clearly that she was just the most ordinary girl in the film academy, with an ordinary family background and no backer. Unless she didn't want to stay in this industry, what qualifications did she have to say to these big shots? No."

After hearing what happened, Chen Zhuo couldn't laugh or cry, and also realized that his reputation outside was really bad.He originally wanted to tell the girl that this industry is not what she misunderstood, and more people are still working hard for their dreams.But after thinking about it, I felt that this kind of comforting lie would cause her to misjudge and bring her more harm in the future.

Because this circle is so filthy, the secret hidden under the glamorous appearance is even darker than she imagined.

And Chen Zhuo himself was in it, not only a vested interest, but also a perpetrator.

If at this time, Chen Zhuo and Yang Xinyi said that they should stick to their hearts and not be infected by the outside world and other politically correct principles, there would be a sense of superiority, why not eat meat, after all, in Vanity Fair, people are always coerced away , What to do and what not to do, sometimes you can't help yourself.

Those who are up and down in it can do nothing more than make a good choice and don't regret it.

So Chen Yao just asked very coldly: "Who told you to do this?"

"Brother Long." As she said that, the girl was about to cry again.

"The one from the photography team?" Chen Zhuo frowned.

"Yeah." Yang Xinyi said: "He said, if I want to stay in this crew, I have to take this step sooner or later. If I make Director Chen unhappy, my path will come to an end..."

This Brother Long would make this "suggestion" to Yang Xinyi, of course it was not out of "good intentions". A girl like Yang Xinyi who has no experience in the world is his prey. He wants to first use Chen Zhuo to destroy her personality and distort her values After that, I took advantage of the void and entered again.

Obviously, it's not the first time he's done something like this.

"Don't cry, you go back to rest first." Chen Yao slowed down his tone, trying not to be so blunt: "I will deal with this person."

Thinking that she had made such a big oolong, the girl was a little scared: "Director, I'm sorry, I..."

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Chen Zhuo rarely smiled softly: "This is a secret between us."

Seeing the director's smile, Yang Xinyi was suddenly a little stunned. The "heartbeat" that she had been unable to figure out these days now had a concrete expression in her mind.

Yang Xinyi wanted to say something more, but at this moment, an electronic sound on the door brought her back from her thoughts. Before she had time to react, the door was opened, and a young man swiped his card and walked in.

When Lu Shaoheng saw a pair of disheveled men and women in the room, he was slightly startled at first, but soon realized what had happened, and said, "Ah, I'm sorry, I should knock on the door first."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and backed out without waiting for Chen Zhuo to reply, and closed the door wisely.

"Director..." Yang Xinyi didn't know Lu Shaoheng, but she was a little panicked when she was knocked out like this.

"It's okay, you can go back first, pay attention to safety on the way." Chen Yao retracted his gaze, and didn't intend to chase him out to explain something. Anyway, this wasn't the first time this happened, and Lu Shaoheng never cared about it.

Yang Xinyi glanced at the expression on Chen Zhuo's face: "But..."

She didn't know how to describe Chen Yao's expression at this time, she was a little sad, but she didn't seem to have any emotions.

Chen Zhuo thought that she was still worried about today's affairs: "Don't think too much, I will take care of the rest, go back at ease." Thinking that the little girl was alone, he added: "In the future, if you encounter any trouble , you can come to me."

After this conversation, Yang Xinyi has recovered her composure. After she and Chen Zhuo thanked each other, they left the room without saying anything more.
