A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 263 I slipped in the shower last night

Chen Jinnian borrowed a car from the crew and took the three of them, driving west along the national highway for more than 40 minutes before entering the city of Xuanhua and heading to the hotel where they were staying.

"Does the crew have to run back and forth every day?" Wang Yidi asked.

"How is that possible? We all live in town or in small hotels. It's too far to go into the city every day." He answered casually. The crew starts work at seven in the morning. If they really live in the city, they won't be able to sleep. Besides, the cost of commuting and accommodation is too high.

Chen Jinnian didn't know what to say to them. They were unfamiliar with the place, yet they dared to take a taxi to the countryside. They were really brave.

"Then why don't you choose a convenient place?" Qiao Yingzi asked, sticking her head out from the back row.

"No money! Renting an abandoned factory is so cheap, and you don't have to pay for it if it's damaged by the bomb."

“Isn’t it a big production?”

Chen Jinnian parked his car in the hotel parking lot and said helplessly, "Do you know why film and television projects have budgets? Because no matter how much money you have, it's not enough. Setting a budget red line is to tell the director that it's enough."

In the history of film and television, the costs of many projects cannot be measured in money. For example, it is impossible to remake the Armageddon series in real life even if you spend 10 billion yuan.

For example, the exquisite costumes and props in The Three Kingdoms were so exquisite that Chen Jinnian once thought that the things used for the set were moved out of the National Museum’s warehouse, and it was impossible to measure the cost.

After getting off the car, he said to Wang Yidi, "But I'm telling you, tomorrow you can either go for a walk around the area or take a car back. Don't go to the crew anymore. You've seen the conditions there. Safety issues aside, don't force yourself to endure hardship."

Chen Jinnian glanced at Wang Yidi, Huang Zhitao and Qiao Yingzi in turn. If anything happened to any of the three of them, he would not be able to explain to their parents.

Especially Wang Yidi, who is the most beautiful and the most likely to be targeted.

"I understand. We'll leave tomorrow and leave you here to suffer alone." Qiao Yingzi stuck out her tongue, not impressed at all by his words.

Fortunately, Wang Yidi and Huang Zhitao listened to her. With them around, they could somewhat restrain Qiao Yingzi.

Chen Jinnian had no idea if there were any good restaurants nearby. He just ate boxed lunches every day on the crew he was in, but when he was undecided, he would have barbecue and hotpot.

They asked a passerby about a barbecue restaurant, and the four of them got together to have a barbecue meal.

After dinner, Chen Jinnian did not return to the hotel arranged by the crew, but stayed with Wang Yidi, chatting and looking at recently taken photos until late at night.

At around five in the morning, he got up and started packing his clothes, putting the costumes he had washed last night back into his bag.

Perhaps the noise of cleaning was too loud and woke up the sleeping Wang Yidi. She turned over with sleepy eyes and stretched out her slender fingers to feel around.

After discovering that the person beside her had disappeared, she immediately shouted in a low voice:

"Ang, Jinnian, where are you?"

She pulled up the air-conditioning quilt to cover her snow-white and delicate skin, stood up slightly and looked around, her black and smooth hair fell naturally on the pillow like a waterfall.

When Chen Jinnian heard Wang Yidi's murmurs, he immediately went back and sat down beside the bed.

"It's still early, you should get some sleep."

"No, I want you to stay with me." Wang Yidi pouted, raised her arms, put them around his neck and started to act coquettishly.

Chen Jinnian reached out and stroked her pretty face. "Yidi, of course I want to accompany you, but I have to go to the set later. But I promise, after a few days when I don't have any scenes, I will definitely come to find you, okay?"

Wang Yidi held his head high, still looking reluctant. As a young couple in the passionate love period, of course they were reluctant to separate.

"No, stay with me for another half an hour."

Chen Jinnian looked at Wang Yidi lovingly, gently supported her smooth shoulders with his hands, and lowered his head to lean against her.

After a long time, Wang Yidi lay back on the bed, her tender pink lips slightly flushed.

Chen Jinnian picked up the air conditioner remote control beside the bed, turned down the wind speed, and then tucked Wang Yidi's outstretched arm back into the quilt.

"There's breakfast on the table that I bought for you. If you're hungry, get up and eat. Also, don't be too tired today and make sure to rest."

Wang Yidi opened his eyes wide, looked at him pitifully, and wanted to keep him for a while longer.

"Go to sleep quickly. I'll leave after you fall asleep."

Five minutes later, Chen Jinnian checked the drawn curtains, then tiptoed to the door, turned off the lights, gently opened the door and closed it again.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Wang Yidi, with his eyes closed, woke up again, turned over and pretended to hug Chen Jinnian beside him and continued to sleep.

After Chen Jinnian came out of the hotel, he hurried to the set, but he wasted too much time in the room and was still late. It was already past seven o'clock when he arrived.

After changing his clothes as quickly as possible, he trotted onto the scene.

Wu Jing wiped his sweat with a towel and directed the crew members to make preparations. It was obvious that he had arrived very early. As the director, leading actor and investor, he certainly attached the utmost importance to this project.

He didn't say anything when he saw Chen Jinnian was late, but just nodded lightly. Xie Nan had already told him last night that he was accompanying his girlfriend, so it was already very good that he could come to work today.

He thought Chen Jinnian would have to ask him for leave.

Suddenly, Wu Jing felt something was wrong, and he turned his head back and looked carefully.

Chen Jinnian was startled by Wu Jing's reaction and quickly lowered his head to check his clothes to see if he had put them on wrong.

"do not move."

Wu Jing shouted, then jumped down from the platform, raised his hand to support his chin, and saw a few strawberry marks on Chen Jinnian's neck. Although the color was not deep, it was still visible.

"What's wrong!"

Chen Jinnian didn't know what was going on and asked in a panic.

"Makeup artist, take care of him first. The filming will start soon." Wu Jing turned his head and shouted, then pointed at his neck, "Go look in the mirror yourself."

Chen Jinnian turned around in confusion, and when he looked carefully, he saw the masterpiece left by Wang Yidi on his body, and immediately covered his face in embarrassment.

Fortunately, Wu Jing saw it with his sharp eyes, otherwise it would have been a huge embarrassment if it had been filmed in a movie.

He quickly asked the makeup artist to help him cover this part, and at the same time stood in front of the mirror to check carefully to make sure there were no other marks.

However, the crew has always been a place where gossips flow. The sudden incident that occurred in the morning had spread throughout the crew by the afternoon.

Except for the foreign actors who didn't know because of the language barrier, almost everyone else knew. Wu Gang even gave him a subtle reminder to take care of his health.

Wang Yidi didn't know what happened to Chen Jinnian on the crew. She slept until noon and checked out. She didn't go anywhere. After a simple lunch, she and two companions took a bus back to Beijing. After resting for two days, they took a flight to Yanji.

Qiao Yingzi noticed that she was walking a little strangely, so she helped her push the suitcase and asked, "Weren't you fine yesterday?"

Wang Yidi's face flushed and she began to explain, "I slipped in the shower last night. It's okay, I'll be fine tomorrow."

"Oh, then walk slowly. We're not in a hurry."
