Time passed quickly during filming, and in the blink of an eye, it was already noon.
Luo Xiaofan had also completed one-third of his task. Luo Xiaofan's role as the driver had a total of three scenes, one scene at the horse track, one scene in the car, and one scene where the old professor found a historical relative for President Qin. Now that he had finished filming the horse track, he would prepare for President Qin's family search in the afternoon, and tomorrow morning would be the driving scene.
As Luo Xiaofan expected, if the progress was fast enough, even the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the entire commercial could be completed. The rest was post-production. If the speed was fast enough, the finished product could be produced in about half a month.
When the lunch boxes were being distributed, Luo Xiaofan pulled Zhao Liying over and handed a soft Zhonghua stick to the stage manager.
Zhao Liying looked at her cousin in confusion. She didn't understand why her cousin would give a cigarette to the uncle who was handing out food.
Luo Xiaofan ignored Zhao Liying.
The stage manager, who was distributing the lunchboxes, had already placed his hands on the lunchbox on the left. He looked down at Zhonghua cigarettes and then looked up at Luo Xiaofan.
Luo Xiaofan smiled and said," Uncle, my name is Luo Xiaofan. This is my sister, Zhao Liying. We just joined the crew. Please forgive us if we don't know anything."”
The stage manager smiled, took the cigarette, lit it, and gently put down the two lunchboxes that he had already picked up.
He turned around and picked up two lunchboxes from the corner and handed them to Luo Xiaofan." Young people are physically exhausted. They must be tired after filming for half a day. Don't compare yourself with us old guys. Hurry up and eat while it's hot."”
Luo Xiaofan thanked the stage manager with the lunchbox, turned around, and walked to a tree. The two of them sat on a stool and opened the lunchbox.
This lunchbox was the most ordinary plastic white box. From the outside, one could not see what was inside.
After Luo Xiaofan opened his lunch box, he immediately smiled. There was hot rice, a big chicken leg, a scrambled egg with garlic, and a fried meat with cauliflower.
Zhao Liying opened her lunch box with anticipation and was pleasantly surprised.
It was the same piping hot rice, a serving of garlic scrambled eggs, and a serving of cauliflower fried meat. However, the difference was that there were many pieces of bright red braised pork in her lunch box.
Zhao Liying's eyes lit up when she saw the red braised pork." Wow, I didn't expect the food in the production team to be so good. I thought it was really like the TV shows, where they ate vegetarian every day and didn't eat meat every meal.”
Luo Xiaofan reached out and pinched the little face of this foodie. He smiled and said," Cousin, the TV show you saw is real. The lunch box in your hand is fake. If you don't believe me, look at those people in the distance. What's in their lunch boxes?"”
Zhao Liying turned her head and looked over. The food in the staff's hands was so simple that it was unbearable. There was a bowl of rice, a bowl of tomato scrambled eggs, a bowl of fried bean skin, and a bowl of minced meat cabbage. It was so different from the food in her hands.
Zhao Liying turned her head and looked at the people around her. She realized that almost all of them were vegetarian.
At this moment, Zhao Liying was comparing her food with the others in the distance. She was instantly filled with happiness." Cousin, why do we eat better than them?”
Luo Xiaofan put the chicken drumstick into Zhao Liying's lunch box and said slowly," Because I just expressed our respect to the stage manager. He gave us food in return."”
Zhao Liying blinked her eyes and took a bite of the drumstick." Is it that simple?" A cigarette could be exchanged for two boxes of good food? Then I'll have to carry cigarettes with me in the future!”
Hearing his cousin's silly voice, Luo Xiaofan laughed." Silly girl, of course it's not that simple. We didn't go through any recommendation, recruitment, interview, or procedures when we joined the crew. If we joined the crew so directly, it would definitely make the other people in the crew hate us, but that's only a minority. Some people will have a good impression of us. This chicken drumstick is proof. That stage manager must have been worried about our background, so he used a cigarette to exchange for a chicken drumstick. Otherwise, if I gave him a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, he would still give me an ordinary lunch box. This is reality.”
Zhao Liying was dumbfounded. She looked at her cousin in a daze and even forgot to eat.
Luo Xiaofan continued," This bento box is actually a microcosm of the people in the crew. Now, I guess that almost everyone in the crew is guessing one thing: You were able to become the champion of the search engine because of Feng Xiaogang. Do you understand?”
Zhao Liying was confused." I don't really understand. What does it matter?”
Luo Xiaofan ate a mouthful of rice and smiled." I guess nine out of ten people on the set are guessing if you were cheated on by Feng Xiaogang.”
Zhao Liying was so scared that she almost dropped her chicken drumstick." Really? That's so disgusting. It can't be true, right? Why were their thoughts so dirty?”
Luo Xiaofan shook his head." It's not that their thoughts are dirty, but the entertainment industry has always been like this. But now that they think this way, it's also good for you."”
Zhao Liying was even more confused." What benefits do I get?”
Luo Xiaofan said," At least, now everyone thinks that you have been cheated on by Feng Xiaogang. They will subconsciously think that your backer is the boss of the crew, so the other small fries won't dare to take it lightly.| I've been too kind to you."
"Ah?" Zhao Liying's face fell, and she looked pitiful as if she had just eaten a bitter gourd, but she didn't see the smile in Luo Xiaofan's eyes.
Luo Xiaofan was laughing in his heart. What he said just now was true, but it was not the case at the back. The words at the back were all deliberately said to Zhao Liying to make this naive little girl worry. Naturally, she would not be stupid enough to believe others. Although it was a bit cruel, it was a great help to Zhao Liying's growth.
Zhao Liying's expression was gloomy. She took a big bite of the chicken drumstick in her hand and chewed on it as if she was biting a hateful cousin.
……
After lunch, they continued filming in the afternoon.
In the afternoon scene, Fan Wei's character, President Qin, went to look for a group of old professors and asked them to help him find any aristocrats with the surname Qin in history.
In this scene, Luo Xiaofan's role as the driver became a bodyguard. All he needed to do was wear cool sunglasses, stand beside Fan Wei, serve tea, and occasionally yell at the nerds.
It had to be said that Luo Xiaofan, who had two life experiences, played these small roles of " driver " and " bodyguard " with ease. In his previous life, he went from an online singer to physical music step by step and finally became a music producer. The hardships and sadness of this could not be told to outsiders.
It was precisely because of the sad experience of the low-level life in his early years that those hardships and offenses had become the capital of Luo Xiaofan's life, allowing him to understand the joys and sorrows of the small characters. It was also because of this that Luo Xiaofan could play those " small characters " very well.
Because there were not many lines to speak, Luo Xiaofan's role was very simple. At around 8 pm, the day's filming was completed.
When the director shouted " Cut," Zhao Liying, who played the role of the secretary, sat on the cement floor and hammered her legs weakly." Aiyo, I'm so tired. I've never stood in high heels for more than an hour, but today I stood for three hours!" I'm so tired!"
The staff members around them laughed when they saw Zhao Liying's reaction.
After a day of contact, the crew knew that this cute little girl had a simple and honest nature that people from big cities did not have. She was not an actress who had been brought here by unspoken rules, so everyone liked the youngest girl in the crew from the bottom of their hearts.
Luo Xiaofan shook his head with a smile and pulled Zhao Liying up from the ground." Girl, how old are you? Why are you still acting like a child?" You're making a fool of yourself!"
Zhao Liying pouted." What's wrong? I'm not that old anyway. If I sit on the ground, people will laugh at me, but if you sit on the ground, people will laugh their teeth out! Humph!"
Luo Xiaofan looked at his cousin who had suddenly become sharp-tongued and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The day's filming was over, and everyone went to get their lunch boxes. Zhao Liying took her " luxury set meal " that was obviously different from others and was a little dissatisfied. She asked Luo Xiaofan," Cousin, I saw on TV that after a day of filming, shouldn't everyone go out for a drink and dinner? Why did everyone get their lunch boxes and go back to the hotel to eat?"”
Luo Xiaofan lovingly gave Zhao Liying the fish steak in the lunch box and replied at the same time," You silly girl, you need to spend money to eat. No matter if it's a big or small production team, how can you arrange for everyone to have a meal every day?" That was the producer's money.”
Zhao Liying ate her fish steak quietly. Her bright eyes darted around as she took a few bites and asked," Can I pay for it myself?"”
When Luo Xiaofan heard this, he immediately knew what this little girl was thinking. He smiled and shook his head, refusing," Silly girl, there are many rich people in the crew, but everyone will not gather because the reason is too simple. If you gather, you have to drink, and if you drink, you will sleep late. There are still filming tasks early tomorrow, and even filming will start in the early hours of the morning. Who would be stupid enough to go to dinner and drink instead of sleeping?"”
Zhao Liying nodded her head in confusion. She tilted her head and said," Cousin, you're amazing. How do you know everything?”
Luo Xiaofan was stunned and did not know how to answer.
Zhao Liying was confused." I feel like you've changed since you woke up drunk last Christmas Eve. You seem to have matured a lot.。。It felt like he had grown up overnight.”
Luo Xiaofan quietly looked at Zhao Liying's bright eyes and gave an irrefutable explanation," I've started reading recently. The more books I read, the more I know. There's an old saying that goes,'In books, there's a beauty, and in books, there's a house of gold.' You silly girl never read books, so you don't know as much as me.”
Zhao Liying was furious, but she still turned around and decided to ignore this bastard cousin for the rest of her life.
But after less than three minutes, he still turned around and gave the crispy chicken in the lunch box to Luo Xiaofan. At the same time, he said in a muffled voice," Damn it, I'm going to gain weight after eating so much! I'll let you eat them all so that you can quickly become a big fatty! Humph!"
Luo Xiaofan smiled, picked up the crispy chicken, and ate it in big bites.
