A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 268 Fire Captain

As Ji Yangyang's long-term actual guardian, Liu Zheng was naturally in the class parent group, so when he saw the message sent by Chen Ming in the group, he rushed over without stopping.

However, when he saw Li Meng being supported by Wang Yidi and slumped drunkenly on the sofa, he no longer cared about his nephew and focused all his energy on him.

"Li Meng, Li Meng."

Liu Zheng leaned over and squatted beside him, calling out twice. When he found no response, he quickly raised his head and asked worriedly, "How much did he drink? He won't wake up no matter how much I call."

Chen Jinnian didn't dare to speak, just coughed twice and glanced behind him. The question now was not how much Li Meng drank, but whether he noticed that there was someone standing behind him.

The father is still standing behind.

Liu Zheng quickly realized something was wrong from his eyes, and quickly looked back, only to find an old man in his sixties looking at him strangely.

The old man's face is somewhat similar to Li Meng's. He wears a pair of half-frame glasses and has the temperament of an old-fashioned intellectual.

"You." Li Meng's father looked Liu Zheng up and down. "What's your relationship with my daughter?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Zheng immediately understood the other party's identity. At the same time, he did not expect to meet the other party's parents under such circumstances. "Hello uncle, I am Li Meng's friend."

"Friend?" Li Meng's father was a little unconvinced. He knew exactly who his daughter's friends were. He was sure that he had never seen the other party before, and judging from the caring attitude just now, they didn't seem like ordinary friends.

Could it be that he is her boyfriend?

Thinking of this, a smile suddenly appeared on Li Meng's father's face. His daughter finally came to her senses and started to think about her lifelong affairs.

"Oh, hello friend, hello friend, what do you do for a living?" He began to ask about Liu Zheng's personal situation to help his daughter check.

Seeing that the two started talking about career and family, Chen Jinnian quickly waved his hand to call Wang Yidi out, and pulled Ji Yangyang's arm and dragged him out of the box.

"What are you doing? My uncle is still in there."

"He's your uncle, but you'll soon have an aunt. Didn't you see your future father-in-law interviewing his new son-in-law? What are you still doing in there?"

"Ah?" Ji Yangyang turned around and saw him with a frown, looking like his brain had crashed.

Chen Jinnian was too lazy to explain. He hid outside and peeked inside. He found that Liu Zheng and Li Meng's father were having a good conversation. However, this did not mean that Liu Zheng had good communication skills and family background. It was difficult for people to be dissatisfied.

"Do you think the head teacher and Uncle Liu are really together?" Wang Yidi asked softly, peeking inside like him.

"Who knows? Who can guess what the head teacher is thinking? If it were Pan Shuai, I could still focus on analyzing it."

Chen Jinnian said without comment. He couldn't tell whether the two of them had feelings for each other or it was just Liu Zheng's wishful thinking. What would happen next was even more difficult to figure out.

"I see, you mean my uncle wants to see his family... Uh, uh."

Ji Yangyang finally reacted and spoke loudly and excitedly, but before he could finish his words, Chen Jinnian covered his mouth.

"Keep your voice down."

However, the noise they made still alarmed the two people who were talking in the box. Liu Zheng and Li Meng's father realized that now was not the time to chat, and the most important thing was to send Li Meng back.

After everyone left, Chen Jinnian and Wang Yidi paid the bill and asked the front desk to help find a designated driver to take them back to Shuxiang Yayuan.

The next morning, around five o'clock, the cell phone in the bedroom started ringing non-stop.

Wang Yidi, who was woken up, touched the phone beside her pillow. After finding that it was not her phone, she quickly pushed Chen Jinnian beside her.

"Jinnian, Jinnian, your phone is ringing."

Chen Jinnian irritably picked up the phone on the bedside table and hung up without even looking at it. Then he turned around and hugged Wang Yidi, muttering softly, "Wife, don't worry about it."

"Ah."

Wang Yidi closed his eyes, rubbed his shoulder, adjusted himself to a comfortable position and continued sleeping.

As a result, just a few minutes after falling asleep, the cell phone rang again. The shrill music broke the quiet atmosphere of the bedroom, like a life-threatening devil's sound constantly attacking Chen Jinnian's eardrums.

"I'm convinced. Who is this? Why would they make harassing phone calls so early in the morning?"

Chen Jinnian turned over and forced himself to open his eyes. After seeing a series of unfamiliar numbers, he wanted to hang up and turn off the phone, but after suppressing the anger in his heart, he still answered the call.

Before he could say anything, the person opposite him quickly introduced himself.

"Sister Nan, oh, no need to bother, what's going on?"

Chen Jinnian didn't expect that the person who called him was Xie Nan. He had no private contact with the other party. Basically, they would only say a few words to each other when he came to visit the crew.

"What? Brother Jing got injured while filming a night scene. Is it serious?"

He asked with a serious face, in action scenes, especially those where the lead actor is in charge, injuries are inevitable, but more trouble than trouble, and injuries mean delays in production, and for the crew, production time means money.

Even if you stop and wait, you still have to pay a lot of money.

The decline of action films across the industry is not without reason. Whether there are successors is one thing, and whether capital is willing to take such high risks is another.

Chen Jinnian continued chatting with Xie Nan, and gradually realized that the other party called him not only to inform him of Wu Jing's injury, but also had other commissions.

In fact, Wu Jing has suffered minor injuries since he started working, but this time the injury was quite serious. He was immediately sent back to Beijing for examination by the crew. Optimistically speaking, it would take him a week before he could get out of bed.

But the crew couldn't stop working, so they hoped that he would take over the crew temporarily for a few days, catch up on the progress, and shoot the scenes that didn't require Wu Jing to show his face first.

After understanding Xie Nan's request, Chen Jinnian felt like his head was about to explode. How could it be as easy as it sound to temporarily take over a crew of several hundred people, especially when there were a lot of foreigners in the crew. It was difficult to even communicate, let alone shoot the show.

During his silence, Xie Nan handed the phone to Wu Jing.

"Dude, it looks like you can't take your leave. You have to go back and keep an eye on things for me. Don't be stressed about the scenes. If you can shoot, shoot. If you can't, wait until I get back. Three days at most. I'll be back on set after three days."

"You're crazy. You forgot what the doctor said." Xie Nan's voice came from the phone.

"What does the doctor know? I know my own body."

Hearing the faint sound of arguing from the other side, he quickly said, "Brother Jing, I understand. You should take good care of yourself first. I'll be back to the crew later. Send your assistant, executive director, and visual director over to talk to me about the next steps. Also, give me your recent footage. I need to review it from the beginning."

"Okay, wait, I'll send someone to pick you up right away."

As soon as he put down the phone, Wang Yidi asked reluctantly, "Are you leaving again?"

"There's no other way but to put out the fire. I received a phone call and I've been promoted to fire brigade captain." Chen Jinnian felt quite helpless.
