Death Progress Bar

The crew waited outside for a whole day, with an unexpectedly persistent attitude.

Shi Jin was sitting on the edge of the long bridge, holding the snacks bought by Gua Er in his hand, and asked while eating: "This island is not too small, and it is mainly engaged in tourism. There must be more beaches with good scenery than ours. Why does the crew insist on borrowing the venue from us?"

Gua Er leaned on the decorative bridge pillar on one side, adjusted a telescope in his hand, and replied: "According to Gua Liu, it seems that there are too many tourists coming and going from other places, which will hinder the shooting. And their The scene of falling into the sea must be filmed in an 'isolated and helpless' sea environment, but this island is a tourist area, and there are too many boats coming and going, only our beach has few boats because of the location, it is more worry-free and clean .”

It turned out to be the case.

Shi Jin nodded to express his understanding, and stuffed another octopus ball into his mouth. Seeing that he had been tossing the telescope, he asked doubtfully, "What are you doing with this?"

"Look at the excitement." Gua Er replied, went to him and knelt down, handed the telescope in front of him, and said, "Jun Shao said that you are interested in that crew, here you are, the members of that crew seem to live on the boat ,The boat is parked on the sea outside the guardrail, if we look from here to there, maybe we can see the crew members come out to move around."

Shi Jin pushed away the binoculars speechlessly, and said, "This is not called spectating, it's called voyeurism, and I'm not interested in the crew, but rather curious about the filming process."

"Isn't it the same?" Gua Er retracted the binoculars, and was about to set it up to see the excitement, when he saw Gua Liu suddenly turned from the corridor on the side of the villa to the verandah, and came straight to this side, with a bit of a hurry.

"What's the matter?" He put down the binoculars and greeted Gu Liu.

Gua Liu ignored him, walked up to Shi Jin, and said with a weird expression: "Shi Shao, just now the crew sent other people to discuss the matter of borrowing the venue, and Jun Shao let them in, so that you I've come to call you."

"Call me?" Shi Jin was puzzled.

Gua Liu nodded, and replied dryly: "The person sent by the crew this time is Rong Zhouzhong."

Shi Jin was confused for two seconds, then plucked his ears in shock, and asked, "Who? Who are you talking about?"

……

Shi Jin hurried back to the villa, and when he entered the living room, he saw a familiar figure sitting on the sofa, raised his hand and pressed his forehead—is this world too small...

Today, Rong Zhouzhong is wearing a light gray casual shirt that fits his figure well, his hair is dyed brown, with some natural curls, and he wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looks gentle and elegant, which is quite different from his usual image .

But Shi Jin was sure that he definitely did not mistake the person, the person sitting on the sofa in his living room was indeed Rong Zhouzhong.

……

Rong Zhouzhong was a little annoyed, this time he came to make a cameo appearance for a familiar old director, playing a teacher who died halfway through.Because it was a cameo, he didn't plan to spend too long on this scene, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. When the last scene came, a staff member on his side accidentally leaked his itinerary, causing a lot of noise. A large number of fans and reporters and paparazzi came over, making it impossible for the crew to film quietly at the original location, and had to borrow the location again.

If the production team delays for one more day, it will lose one more day's money, because he made a mistake first, so after knowing that the production team's borrowing of the venue was not going well, he immediately took the initiative to ask Ying to find it.

He had already inquired about it before he came, and he vaguely knew that the owner of this villa was in business. Thinking about the location that the crew couldn't borrow, it might be possible to use the name of Shi Weichong or Fei Yujing... and he didn't care about using the big brother The second brother's reputation is not shameful, anyway, he must borrow this place today, no, he must rent it!The crew can no longer bear the loss because of his personal reasons.

You have to talk it out, take it easy, it's not borrowing, it's renting, renting at a high price, the crew is not here to take advantage... The stupid staff, actually made such a low-level mistake, and put his itinerary... No, no, no, Don't think about it, calm down, calm down...

He took a deep breath silently, suppressing the irritability of being tortured by the staff, being chased and blocked by fans and paparazzi, and having to come to ask for help, he took a sip of the tea on the coffee table, his forehead was swollen with blue veins—that is to say, but this villa Could the host be too rude!It's fine if you don't let people in, but if you let people in but don't entertain them, let him sit alone in the living room as a guest, what is this for?

... When he went back, he fired the staff member who made a mistake!

Da da da, the sound of slippers stepping on the wooden floor came faintly.

Rong Zhouzhong's ears perked up, and he quickly suppressed all his emotions. He put on the mask he usually faces the media, looked in the direction of the voice, and said politely, "Excuse me, I am...Xiaojin?"

The voice, which was less than a sentence gentle, broke instantly, and the familiar irritable original voice appeared.

It really was Rong Zhouzhong.

Shi Jin sighed, walked over and sat opposite Rong Zhouzhong, and said speechlessly, "You are Xiao Jin, then who am I. Third brother, is it your crew who want to borrow the beach?"

Rong Zhouzhong looked at him with a funny expression, glanced at the home clothes on his body and the snacks in his hands, digested it for more than ten seconds, and then said in disbelief: "Why are you here? Is this villa and that beach yours? Do you live here?"

"No, these are all extinct industries." Shi Jin replied, put the snacks in his hand on the table, and asked again, "Is it your crew who want to borrow the beach?"

Rong Zhouzhong nodded, focusing on him, and asked with a frown, "You've been staying here since you left school? With Mr. Lian? What about others? You..."

"Wait!" Shi Jin was slapped in the face by the question, quickly raised his hand to interrupt him, got up and said, "Calm down first, sit for a while, I'll help you ask about borrowing the venue, Mr. Lian should have already The meeting with Gua Yi is over."

Rong Zhouzhong watched him leave helplessly, and after all kinds of shock and disbelief, he suddenly realized one thing—the beach is an extinct industry, that is to say, he is borrowing a venue from Mr. Lian...

Borrow the venue from Lianjun.

Borrow the venue from Mr. Lian who kidnapped Shijin.

His face turned black, and he felt that an unknown fire was burning from the soles of his feet to Tianling Gai, he took out his mobile phone and called his manager Longshi, he said through gritted teeth, "Get rid of the staff who leaked my itinerary earlier! Immediately, immediately! I don't want to see his face again in my life!" After speaking, he hung up the phone, picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

I really want to leave directly, but I can't, the crew can't afford it, and the venue can't be borrowed.And... His eyes fell on the snack bag on the coffee table, and he clenched the teacup tightly——Shi Jin is here, even if he sells out the face of the boss and the second in this place, he must borrow it!

……

A few minutes later, Lian Jun, accompanied by Shi Jin, left the study room, followed by Gu Yi whom Rong Zhouzhong had seen before.

Rong Zhouzhong immediately sat up straight, his eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he was ready to fight in his heart. He decided that no matter what attitude Lian Jun put on or how high the conditions were, he would respond calmly. Don't lose face to the old Shi family.But before he could assume the posture of Shi Jin's brother, Lian Jun spoke first.

"The venue can be lent to you, but the crew must go through a security check before entering, and after entering, they are not allowed to approach the long bridge and the villas here, and are only allowed to have activities on the beach." Lian Jun opened his mouth, unexpectedly easy to talk.

Rong Zhouzhong: "...No problem." It was as if he had punched cotton, feeling uncomfortable and aggrieved.

Lian Jun nodded, as if the matter had been negotiated, motioned Gua to push himself back to the study.

"Wait, give me a collection account, and I will pay for the venue rental fee on a daily basis." Rong Zhouzhong hurriedly stopped him and asked.

Lian Jun stopped his movements, turned his head to look at him again, and wanted to say that everything was free for Shi Jin's sake, but seeing his eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he was not happy about not paying, so he was silent and turned to He looked at Shi Jin.

Shi Jin hurriedly took a step back and said that he would not interfere in this matter. The venue was owned by Mie. This deal was between Mie and the crew, not between him and Rong Zhouzhong. He could help out for the sake of brotherhood. Rong Zhou made a connection, but he couldn't choose to let Lian Jun suffer for it.It depends on Mr. Lian's own opinion whether to take money or not, and he will not interfere.

Seeing him like this, Lian Jun felt warm in his heart, looked at Rong Zhouzhong and changed his words: "You can pay Shi Jin the fee for renting the venue, I have something to do, excuse me."

Shi Jin hurriedly held down his wheelchair, frowned and said, "Why did you give it to me again, I don't want it."

"What's mine is yours." Lian Jun squeezed his hand reassuringly, and kissed the back of his hand.

Shi Jin was stuffed with sweet words, so he let Jun Lian go back to his study in a daze. After recovering, he gave a low cough in embarrassment, sat back across from Rong Zhouzhong, and said, "Let's do it this way, the matter is settled, you hurry up." Go get busy, I heard from Gua Liu that your crew has been delayed here for several days."

Seeing the interaction between the two, Rong Zhouzhong gritted his teeth in his heart, scolding Mr. Lian for being shameless, and asked viciously, "How much is the rent for the venue?"

Shi Jin replied: "I don't know about this either—"

Rong Zhouzhong had a serious face, so serious that he said rigidly: "Brothers have to settle accounts clearly, how much, I'll transfer it to you." Wouldn't he lose to Lian Jun if he didn't transfer it?Anyway, Mr. Lian don't want him to owe this favor, if he owes it, he owes it to Shijin!

His thoughts were almost written on his face. Shi Jin saw through it at a glance, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "Just... just give it at the market price."

Rong Zhouzhong immediately reached out to him: "The account number for receiving money."

"..."

Shi Jin looked back at the study door which had been closed again, remembering how busy Lianjun and Gua Yi were when they first entered the study, put away the thought of going in again to disturb the two, took out his mobile phone, found Rong Zhouzhong's mobile number, and dialed I sent my private account via text message.

Rong Zhouzhong got the account number and left, with an inexplicable aura from his back, which was very confusing.

Gua Er came out of nowhere, with an inscrutable expression on his face: "I think you, the third brother, will definitely pay you twice the market price."

Shi Jin was speechless, Rong Zhouzhong's thoughts were too easy to guess, the words "I'm not short of money, let's see how I can use the money to get back the position" was almost written on his face, he couldn't even pretend to be blind.

……

After Rong Zhouzhong left, Gua Liu notified the security personnel to open the guardrail on the beach, and sent a group of people to contact the crew to do a simple security check.

After the inspection, Gua Liu sent a boat to the small cruise ship that the crew used for filming and accommodation for actors and staff, and introduced it to the sea area facing the beach.After that, the crew entered the set and began to move various equipment to the beach and set up a temporary work shed.

The beach became lively in an instant. Gua Liu was afraid that some ignorant people would break into the villa, so he cautiously sent security personnel to guard outside the long bridge and tightly surrounded the villa.

When it was dark, the beach gradually became quiet.Shi Jin counted the time and called Rong Zhouzhong, inviting him to the villa for dinner.

Rong Zhouzhong pretended to accept the invitation calmly, then grabbed the assistant passing by with his backhand, and asked, "Go brother... what should I pay attention to when I go to someone's house for dinner?"

The assistant who knew his true nature was shocked: "Someone actually invited you to be a guest at home, who was blinded by the illusion again?"

Rong Zhouzhong's face darkened, and his voice was murderous: "I'm in a bad mood recently, do you understand?"

The assistant was startled, and quickly replied: "Remember to bring gifts, don't eat rice, be polite, don't lose your temper and show your nature, you will be hated! Absolutely!"

What does it mean to be hated if you expose your nature? Are you looking for death!

Rong Zhouzhong threw him out of the room angrily, and closed the door with a snap.

An hour later, Rong Zhouzhong knocked on the door of the villa very punctually, carrying a bulging bag in his hand.

"What are these?" Shi Jin asked after taking the shopping bag.

"Food, my life assistant was afraid that I wouldn't get used to eating here, so he bought me a lot of food, and I couldn't finish it by myself." Rong Zhouzhong replied, hiding his expression by lowering his head to change his shoes.

Shi Jin glanced at the small snacks marked with various unfamiliar words in the bag, frowned and said, "Why are they all snacks? Your assistant is too inexperienced, I'm afraid you won't be used to the food here, so I should prepare some staple food for you That's right, snacks can't be eaten as meals."

Rong Zhouzhong froze, and replied: "Well...he is a new assistant, and he needs to be taught again."

"Then why don't you just come to my place for dinner during filming, it's very close anyway." Shi Jin casually invited, turned around and put the snack bag on the table, and didn't see that Rong Zhouzhong almost tripped over the entrance threshold The embarrassed appearance.

Naturally, after a normal welcome, Shi Jin led Rong Zhouzhong to the restaurant, where Mr. Lian had already sat down, and when he saw Rong Zhouzhong coming over, he took the initiative to say hello to him.

Rong Zhouzhong switched to combat mode in a second, nodded his head reservedly in return, and then used the most graceful movements of his life to sit on the seat indicated by Shi Jin.

Shi Jin: "..."

The dinner was sumptuous, but the table atmosphere was very strange.To be precise, it was Rong Zhouzhong who became very weird.It was as if he had changed into a different person, his gestures were full of grace, his words were full of wit, his former irascibility was gone, and he was so handsome that he seemed to be shining, like... as if he didn't want to lose to Lian Jun, it's like wanting to compare him.

Shi Jin felt his stomach hurt.

What kind of virtue this third brother is, he has already made it clear through the memory of the original owner and the previous contacts.The person who usually has a vicious mouth, bad temper and petty hatred suddenly becomes polite, restrained, generous and stable. The contrast is so strange, plus Rong Zhouzhong's uncharacteristically gentle and elegant appearance today... It's so uncomfortable, Wasn't this person really taken away?Felt like watching a horror movie.

After a torturous meal, Shi Jin was in charge of sending Rong Zhouzhong away.

Rong Zhouzhong lived on the crew's boat, and Shi Jin led him directly from the balcony outside the living room to the verandah, and while leading him onto the long bridge, he said, "Next time you just come over the long bridge. , you don’t need to go around the gate from the beach, I’ve already told Gua Liu and the security personnel to say hello, and they won’t stop you.”

Rong Zhouzhong hummed reservedly, and thanked him politely, very prudent and reliable.

Shi Jin couldn't take it anymore, he stopped and turned to look at him with a serious face.

Rong Zhouzhong was too late to react and almost bumped into him, so he took a step back and stood firm, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"This is what I want to ask." Shi Jin's eyes swept him up and down like a searchlight, and suddenly reached out and took off the flat glasses he was wearing, and looked closely at his appearance.

Rong Zhouzhong instinctively leaned back and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Provoke you." Shi Jin replied, waved the glasses in his hand, and said, "Come and fight, if you win, I will return this to you. Don't worry, I will be careful not to hit you in the face this time." .”

Veins bulged on Rong Zhouzhong's forehead, and a crack appeared in the mask he wore all night, and he said, "I don't want to fight with you."

"But I want to." Shi Jinhua immediately punched him straight, Rong Zhouzhong's pupils shrank, and he quickly dodged sideways.

Shi Jin failed with one blow, and immediately caught up with the second blow.

Rong Zhouzhong didn't want to fight with Shi Jin, he wanted to get close to and make up for this younger brother now, and he didn't want to do things that would make the other party hate him like before.But Shi Jin has been relentlessly coming to beat him, and deliberately teased him with that provocative look, and even called him a vase, he couldn't bear it.

"Don't mess with me." He suppressed his temper and warned that the mask was about to burst.

Shi Jin persistently attacked, and said again: "Vase."

"I told you not to mess with me!" He finally couldn't help stretching out his hand, wanting to pinch Shi Jin's fist to stop his attack, his mask was completely shattered, and said irritably, "Shi Jin, I don't want to hit you!"

Shi Jin dodged his hand, punched him directly in the abdomen, and said solemnly: "What kind of drama are you acting this time? Are you trying to fool me and continue to take benefits from me? After all, Ruixing is now Returned to my hand."

These words were too cruel, Rong Zhouzhong's eyes widened, the pain of being trampled and questioned and his body ached together, his lips were tightened, his eyes sank suddenly, he gritted his teeth and said: "Shi Jin, put Take that sentence back."

"Why do you want to take it?" Shi Jin twisted his hand, pressed him face down on the ground, looked at him condescendingly, and said, "Rong Zhouzhong, the kind and polite mask just now is well worn, no wonder you can be Actor, after more than ten years of honing your acting skills, it is simply unreasonable for you not to be an actor. Speaking of which, I have never had a chance to ask you, do you use it smoothly as a tool for honing your acting skills that you have used so thoroughly?"

Rong Zhouzhong's struggle suddenly stopped, his hair fell down during the struggle, his bangs covered his eyebrows and eyes, under the cold moonlight at night and the hazy light on the bridge, only the lower half of his face with his lips lined up could be seen clearly.

"Shi Jin, are these your sincere words?" He asked, his tone rare and serious.

Shi Jin stretched out his hand to part his hair, met his eyes that had no time to hide his emotion, and asked, "Are you afraid?"

Rong Zhouzhong turned his head sideways and closed his eyes in embarrassment, suppressing the wound in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "What are you afraid of! If you have the ability, you can kill me here!"

"My mood back then was exactly the same as yours now." Shi Jin let go of him, and said, "Rong Zhouzhong, do you remember how many ugly things you said to me? Don't act like a polite and caring person again." Good brother, too fake."

Rong Zhouzhong's body froze, he closed his eyes again, his heart was blocked by some sour and depressed mood, and he whispered: "You..."

"If you really want to repair the relationship, then don't point the mask at me again. It's a shadow I don't want to recall." Shi Jin restrained his aggressive demeanor and sat cross-legged beside him.

Rong Zhouzhong was silent, turned his head away from him, and said after a long time: "I didn't act today...I was trying to save face for you, Shi Jin, you bastard who doesn't understand anything!"

"Why do you scold me? What kind of good are you?" Shi Jin frowned, stretched out his leg and kicked him lightly.

Rong Zhouzhong grabbed his ankle with his backhand, looked sideways at him, and said, "I'm really not a good guy, just keep beating if you're angry, I deserve it, just don't slap me in the face, I'll get you tomorrow I still have to play."

Shi Jin kicked him again without hesitation, and after kicking, he stepped on it like a fun ball, shaking him back and forth vigorously, cursing: "Rong Zhouzhong, you are so bad. gone."

When had Rong Zhouzhong been "tortured" like this before, with veins popping out of his forehead, but it was true that he was wronged first, so he closed his eyes and endured it, and let him vent his anger.

"The eye of a heart is smaller than the tip of a needle. You can still hold grudges for what I said when I was nine years old."

This is a fact. Before the truth came to light, Rong Zhouzhong really hated Shi Jin's theory that "brothers are all servants" that Shi Xingrui once said to Shi Xingrui. I know what I said back.He was speechless and continued to be aggrieved and scolded.

"You're still naive, you actually gave me a cucumber pillow to retaliate against me, where are you from elementary school?" Shi Jin continued to scold.

Rong Zhouzhong turned his head and retorted: "You are enough, who is a primary school student."

"The creditor is talking, what are the debtors talking about? Be quiet!" Shi Jin stomped on his butt, mercilessly, "You are not only childish, but also sensitive, with a bad temper, too much self-esteem, and your words are too thoughtless...you It's really bad!"

Rong Zhouzhong suffered double "insults" both physically and mentally, and was almost suffocated. He gritted his teeth and said, "Little bastard, don't push your nose on your face..."

Shi Jin withdrew his feet, picked him up, looked straight into his eyes and asked, "So what if I kick? Are you going to kill me? Here's the gun, you come." He took out the gun and stuffed it into the in his hand.

Hey!

Rong Zhouzhong was so angry that he wanted to curse.

Didn't this road come once before, and it's the second time!

He threw the gun away directly, grabbed Shi Jin's collar with his backhand, and stared at him fiercely, wanting to say something, when he touched Shi Jin's expressionless eyes, his heart trembled, he swallowed all the words, and let go irritably Shi Jin, turned around and lay down on the bridge again, shouting: "You want to hit fast, you want to scold fast, don't show that half-dead look, damn it! Shi Xingrui, bastard, what are you raising?" Come out, please!"

Shi Jin slapped him on the back of the head, and retorted: "You are the troublemaker!"

"Fuck you..." Rong Zhouzhong turned his head and was about to curse back, but when he saw Shi Jin's face, he swallowed his words aggrievedly, and was so angry that he slammed the bridge a few times, then closed his eyes and collapsed in despair. On the bridge, he looked like he had already died.

The world suddenly became quiet, Shi Jin didn't hit Rong Zhouzhong anymore, and he didn't scold him again.

It is estimated that it is brewing.

Rong Zhouzhong suppressed his temper, tensed his body and waited for the next "torture".

1 minute, 2 minutes... 10 minutes passed, the "torture" did not come, but the surrounding became more and more quiet, as if he was the only one.

Shi Jin wouldn't just leave him here and leave.

Rong Zhouzhong frowned, couldn't help but opened his eyes, and turned his head to look at the place where Shi Jin was sitting before.

Click.

A cell phone dangles very close to him, with its camera on.

Shi Jin pressed the camera button, retracted the mobile phone that was almost touching Rong Zhouzhong's face, and admired the effect of the photo with satisfaction. Reversing the bad voice before, he smiled brightly at Rong Zhouzhong, and took the other hand from his trouser pocket. He took out a pack of dried fruit snacks from his pocket, and said, "Hey."

Rong Zhouzhong was confused.

hey-hey?

"Third brother's salted fish lying performance just now was perfect." Shi Jin immersed himself in unpacking snacks, "considerately" took out a piece of dried fruit and stuffed it into Rong Zhouzhong's mouth, and said contentedly, "This after-dinner entertainment is good, third brother has worked hard , third brother, good night, third brother has a sweet dream, bye." After speaking, he stood up, patted his buttocks, turned around and left.

Rong Zhouzhong bit the dried fruit, watched Shi Jin go away foolishly, recalled Shi Jin's various operations that night, and belatedly realized that he seemed to have been played by the other party, so angry A carp jumped up from the bridge and chased after Shi Jin: "Little brat! How dare you play me, don't run away! Delete the photo for me! Delete it quickly!"

Finally returned to normal.

Shi Jin happily ate a piece of dried fruit, turned his head and waved his hands at Rong Zhouzhong who was chasing him, stepped into the bedroom, pulled the window lock with his backhand in one go, and then closed the curtains in front of Rong Zhouzhong.

Hey!

Rong Zhouzhong's expression was contorted, he was so angry that he almost died on the spot, he walked on the balcony for more than ten minutes before he left reluctantly.

In the room, Lian Jun put down the documents, looked at Shi Jin who was eating dried fruit while peeking at Rong Zhouzhong through the gap in the curtain, and asked, "Is it fun?"

Shi Jin nodded, and replied seriously: "It's fun." Among these brothers, Rong Zhou is the most fun.
