"So, the scenes for 'In the Snow' have already been filmed?”
"Yes, we could have ended the last scene today.”
"Then…you didn't lose the card that Xiao Zhou mentioned, right?”
In the waiting room of the production team of 'In the Snow'.
Director Song took his hand out of his pocket and took out a memory card expressionlessly.
There was a line of words written on the card: 03 - 36d.
Director Zhu glanced at it and couldn't help but pick up the cigarette box on the coffee table.
Then, he pulled out one of them, lit it up, and took a deep breath.
"Looks like there are bad guys among the comrades.”
"I didn't expect someone to report me either.”
Director Zhu puffed out a cloud of smoke. There was someone who didn't want to eat Chef Yang's dishes?”
Director Song smacked his lips, his face full of depression."Old Zhu, could this person be you?”
"F * ck, am I that dirty in your heart?”
"Who told you to report me last night?”
Director Zhu stubbed out his cigarette." Don't forget that one of our investors is the same. How can I not be exposed if something happens to you?"”
Director Song pondered for a while." But I don't understand. Who wouldn't like Chef Yang's food and report me for delaying the filming?"”
"Speaking of which, is there ever a time when your team isn't in the mood to eat?”
"No, they fought so hard that their heads were about to break. I lost eight belts in a week.”
Director Zhu crossed his arms." Then this matter is really strange. Since everyone has a common interest, why would you let someone backstab you?"”
Director Song also took out a cigarette and lit it."Do you think it's not someone from the group? Are the others jealous of us?"
"That's possible, but that's not the key to the problem now.”
"What's that?"
"How to deal with the investor's review.”
Director Song took a puff of his cigarette. I've never encountered such a thing in my entire filming life.”
Director Zhu couldn't help but laugh coldly." That's because you didn't offend their interests before. How much would it cost to shoot for three more days?" They definitely won't agree."
"Alright, stop thinking about it. Let's wait for the producer to come back.”
"Damn it, you're so stupid. You actually let someone report you!”
Director Song immediately glared at him." I was about to prepare for the wrap party, but you had to show off in front of me!"”
Director Zhu was dumbfounded." Eight major cuisines. Don't you feel that it's a loss to leave like this?" Those were your exact words, right?"
"That's right, but I didn't want to play any tricks at the beginning.”
"Did I think of the method to throw the memory card for you?”
"That's right. You don't have that kind of brain."
Director Zhu sneered." Then why are you blaming me? You said it, and you thought of the solution. I'm just a victim!"”
Director Song knew that he couldn't win against him, so he changed the topic."If the investors really come to investigate, you have to help me.”
"Do I have the guts to go against a capitalist?”
"Trash."
“????”
Just as the two of them were talking.
The door of the lounge creaked.
The producer walked in with a pale face, feeling as if his head had grown bigger.
"Old Hai, how did it go?"
"What else can we do? We'll do a full audit of all the accounts!”
"When…?"
"Tomorrow afternoon, Director Sun will bring the inspection team over.”
The producer walked over and sat on the sofa.
He had heard the investor's lecture today, and his head was completely swollen.
But there was nothing he could do. After all, he was a representative sent by a legitimate investor.
Logically speaking, he should be independent in the production team and should not be colluding with Director Song.
However, Chef Yang's cooking skills were so good that no one could withstand it.
Even a monk could jump over a wall and not cultivate.
How could a mere mortal like him resist such a strong temptation?
Hearing the producer's words, Director Song was so worried that he was about to go bald.
They deliberately delayed the filming progress and pretended to have lost the production equipment.
If he was really investigated, then he could forget about continuing to work in this industry.
"Old Zhu, think of a good idea for me.”
"What good idea can I come up with a brain as big as a peanut?”
Director Song glared at him." So our brains combined are only two peanuts?"”
Director Zhu pondered for a while and pointed at the producer."Including Old Hai, the three of us only have three peanuts.”
"I can't really be censored, right? If word gets out, my career as a director will be over.”
"Who asked you to be so greedy? You're the one who ate, so of course you have to take the beating.”
Director Song took a deep breath." If you don't help me think of a way, I'll say that you're taking empty shots repeatedly and wasting your time!”
Director Zhu's hand could not help but tremble."You're going to use all the moves I've used on me, right?”
"Anyway, we're grasshoppers in the same bed.”
"Do you even have any culture? We're all in the same boat!”
Producer Hai raised his head.”
The two directors looked at each other. Was that so? What's on that boat?"
"Is this the main point? The main point is to think of a way."
"That makes sense. Then let's hurry up and think of a way.”
The three of them looked at each other and began to frown.
The investigation was neither a big nor a small matter.
For example, the routine review was basically carried out by the producer on behalf of the investor.
He checked the usual accounts to see if there was anything that didn't match.
Most people would turn a blind eye to it.
After all, it was a routine, and he was especially serious every time. After a movie, he would be exhausted.
Therefore, this kind of inspection would not cause any trouble. It might be similar to a routine meal.
But the key problem was that the investors didn't even trust the producer anymore.
He had to bring the review team over to conduct a comprehensive review.
Then there was no need to ask. There would definitely be problems when the time came.
After all, there were hundreds of people in a production team. No matter how resourceful the director was, he could not cover everything.
Not only would it delay the construction period, but other problems would also be exposed.
Manpower was limited, especially in a large group. There would be more or less mistakes.
However, under normal circumstances, as long as the filming of this drama was completed perfectly, the investors would not say anything.
But now, the investors were obviously angry and were preparing for a big review.
The problems that he had overlooked before would very likely be exposed and used as leverage.
Director Song realized that he might have really gotten into big trouble this time.
"Why don't we tell the truth and fight for a lenient punishment?”
"I've already dealt with it. Can I still be lenient? Don't lie to me that you haven't studied."
"That's the only other way. I really can't think of any good ideas.”
Director Song couldn't help but smack his lips." Old Hai, as a producer, you're colluding with me. You can't escape responsibility."”
Producer Hai's face darkened. If you have the ability, think of one yourself."
"I admit that my brain is only the size of a peanut.”
The atmosphere was silent for a few minutes.
Director Song and Producer Hai sighed at the same time.
Damn it, because of his gluttony, he kept delaying the filming progress and caused a big investigation.
If word got out, not only would he lose his future, but he would also be thrown into his grandmother's house.
At this moment, Director Zhu's eyes suddenly lit up.
He looked up at Producer Hai with a bright light in his eyes.
There was even a hint of admiration and admiration in the light.
This gaze made Producer Hai's hair stand on end, and goosebumps appeared on his arms.
"Director Zhu, why are you looking at me like that?”
"Looking at your handsome face, I suddenly have an idea, but I don't know if it will work.”
Director Song was excited when he heard that. Tell me!"
Director Zhu crossed his legs and lit another cigarette."Director Song, go find Chef Yang now. We'll have a wrap up banquet tomorrow afternoon.”
Song Xiaofei was about to go crazy.”
"This has nothing to do with whether you want to eat it or not. As long as you listen to me, I'm 90% sure that I can get you through this.”
"How?"
"The weather, the terrain, and the people are harmonious."
Director Song narrowed his eyes.”
Director Zhu nodded.”
"Then what if we can't pass this test?”
"That's the problem with the remaining 10%. Even if Jesus comes, he won't be able to save you.”
Director Song revealed a suspicious look."You can't trick me, can you?"
Director Zhu stood up and patted him on the shoulder."We're both in the same bed now. Why would I cheat you?”
Producer Hai said it was a rope."
"We're already at the brink of death. Stop pretending to be cultured. Hurry up and do it.”
"Alright, then I'll believe you this once!"
Director Song stood up, patted his butt, and went out. He drove to the small kitchen.
At this time, Yang Zhe was sitting on a small recliner in the kitchen building, holding his phone to book tickets for himself.
Because the end of September was connected to the National Day holiday, it was not easy to buy high-speed rail tickets.
Those who were out on vacation and those who were going home to visit their relatives all gathered together at this time.
Snatching tickets a month or half a month in advance was nothing new.
If he didn't buy it in advance, he would probably have to squeeze into a green car.
It took 12 hours to get from the capital to his hometown by green car.
It was fine to buy a sleeping berth, but it would be impossible to buy a hard seat.
At the same time, Director Song, who had stopped the car, walked into the small building.
He stood at the side and watched for a long time, planning to let Yang Zhe finish buying before speaking.
Three minutes later, Yang Zhe paid the money, but the result of the ticket issue still had to wait.
Hence, he got up and pulled a chair over, signaling Director Song to sit down.
"What's wrong, Director Song? Is there something you need from me?”
"It's like this, Chef Yang. I'd like to invite you to a banquet tomorrow.”
"Tomorrow?" Yang Zhe was slightly stunned. Didn't you guys finish filming this weekend?"
Director Song sighed deeply." Don't mention it. There was a little trouble, so it was changed to this Wednesday."”
"Then, have you finished filming the scenes in your group?”
"It's done. Anyway, this matter has to do with my life. You have to come and show your best skills!”
"It's so exaggerated. What happened? Why does it sound so strange to me?"
"It's not easy to explain now. Anyway, it has something to do with the card loss last time.”
Yang Zhe put down his phone. I'll call Dahai tomorrow and bring the tables and chairs over for you.”
Director Song nodded.”
"Alright, I'll prepare in advance. Is there anything I must eat?”
" Bring out all the best dishes. Pig Knuckle, Roast Duck, Tofu Box, Stir-Fried Kidney, Huadiao Chicken…"
"Good fellow, this meal is enough to make you three high.”
"It's not a big deal. Anyway, I'll just get some vegetables that can make people's souls scatter in one bite.”
"Red Crane's Head."
“……”
Yang Zhe made a cold joke and laughed happily."Alright, I'll prepare it for you.”
Director Song nodded fiercely." But you must remember. We have to start firing before six o'clock tomorrow afternoon."”
"Six o'clock is an auspicious day?"
"It's a twist of fate."
Yang Zhe agreed to Director Song's request, then got up and went to the storeroom to take stock.
He had been cooking Shandong cuisine like crazy for the past few days. He could use all kinds of ingredients.
Some dishes even required four to five ingredients, so there shouldn't be much left in the warehouse.
Yang Zhe rummaged through a few fridges and found that it was indeed not enough for a banquet.
He could only spend time to buy another one, and he could not delay it.
Judging from what Director Song meant, he would die if he didn't fire before six o'clock.
So Yang Zhe took out his phone and called Wang Dahai.
"Hello, Brother Yang, what's the matter?”
"Come out with me in the afternoon. Let's go buy some ingredients.”
"Do you want to go together?"
"Yes, it just so happens that I haven't gone out for a long time. Let's take a walk.”
Wang Dahai sounded a little excited." This is great! We can see the famous scene of determining the time of death at the scene again!"”
Yang Zhe was speechless.
"By the way, are we going to buy from the production team or you?”
"Go through Director Song's account. The ingredients are prepared for their wrap party.”
"Tomorrow? Didn't they say that they were only holding a wrap party this weekend?”
"I don't know what's going on either. Anyway, since he said so, we'll just accept it.”
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll drive the truck over.”
Yang Zhe hung up the phone and turned around. Suddenly, he heard the sound of water splashing.
Reba was standing in front of the kitchen counter, rolling up her sleeves and helping him wash the dishes.
She was wearing a pink sweater today and looked pink and tender.
Beads of sweat appeared on his slender neck, but his movements were very agile.
"Why are you here?"
"Director Zhu gave us a break today, so I came here because I had nothing to do.”
Yang Zhe reached out and took the plate that she had scrubbed.""If you don't wear gloves, you'll be corroded by the dishwashing liquid. Be careful, your hands will become rough.”
Reba paused for a moment." I don't think your hands are rough. They're even more tender than mine."”
"Is that so?"
Yang Zhe opened his palm and flipped it up and down.
At this moment, Reba suddenly touched his palm, and cold water droplets fell on Yang Zhe's palm.
"As expected, it's very tender!"
"You sound like an old demon from Journey to the West.”
"What time is it now?" Reba bit her lip. I forgot to bring my phone."
Yang Zhe suddenly smiled." It's Tuesday today. I'm not wearing the watch you gave me."”
"Hey, can't you be a little biased?”
"What does this have to do with favoritism?"
Reba did not want to talk about this topic too much, so she changed the topic."Oh right, I heard you on the phone just now. Director Song and the others are going to wrap up filming?”
"Yes, tomorrow afternoon." Yang Zhe nodded.”
"That's great, Tian Ai has been filming for so long, she can finally take a break!”
She hummed happily and emphasized the word 'rest.'
Yang Zhe didn't understand the subtext of this and just nodded in agreement.
Ten minutes later, Reba had washed all the dishes in the basin clean.
Then, she neatly stacked them together and even washed the rag.
Yang Zhe's eyes lit up when he saw this.
He had thought Reba was a person who did not touch the water, but he did not expect her to have so many life skills.
At this moment, a series of clanking sounds suddenly came from the door.
Wang Dahai's truck slowly drove to the entrance and blocked the entire alley.
"Brother Yang, are we leaving now?"
Yang Zhe glanced at him and then at Reba."We're going out to buy ingredients. Do you want to play here for a while?”
"Can I go with you?" Reba blinked.”
"Then…the entire market will probably be packed.”
"It's okay. I can wear a mask, a hat, and sunglasses.”
"Then wouldn't this place be boundless with three hundred taels?”
Reba puffed up her cheeks and her eyes flickered."Bring me along, bring me along. I'll definitely be very obedient. If you want me to go east, don't go west. If you want me to buy pigs, don't buy chickens.”
Yang Zhe glanced at Wang Dahai.”
“……”
Wang Dahai smacked his lips and thought to himself, Why are you asking me this?
Even Tang Sanzang wouldn't be able to withstand that expression and tone just now.
Brother Yang was really a f * cking Vibrant Gold straight man. He could still remain calm.
"Then let's go together. However, there are only two seats in the driver's seat. Someone has to sit in the carriage.”
"Oh, then let's go together."
Five minutes later, the truck started moving slowly.
Yang Zhe sat in the driver's seat, pulled on his seatbelt, and slowly drove out of the alley after putting on the gear.
Reba, who was fully armed, sat in the front passenger seat with excitement written all over her face.
At the same time, Wang Dahai squatted in the dark carriage with an aggrieved expression.
