The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 473: Old Oiler

The morning light was just breaking, and the horizon was just beginning to show a hint of paleness.

The crew of "Out of Time" began to prepare for the next filming.

Luo Jin, carrying a transparent plastic bag, walked over to the staff who were putting up landmarks.

He came here today to make a cameo appearance in a play.

"Where's your director?"

The field attendant was a young man who looked to be in high school. He pointed casually, "Over there."

"No." Luo Jin looked over.

The groundskeeper looked up and said in confusion, "Strange, it was here just now."

"Why don't you wait here for a while? I think he'll be here soon."

"Okay." Luo Jin stood aside and didn't try to help.

He is not a newcomer in the industry and always wants to show off. He is just causing trouble by rashly intervening without knowing anything.

Just stand there and look around.

Most people are busy with their own things, but there are exceptions.

The two guys, who were probably lighting technicians, were so lazy that they looked like they were just there to watch. They were talking and laughing while playing with their cell phones, looking very relaxed.

He frowned, took out a cigarette box from his pocket, handed it to the side, and said in a friendly way: "Brother, have one."

"Thank you."

The attendant was not very old, but he was very skilled in receiving cigarettes.

He vaguely felt that the guy in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't figure out who he was for a while. He blocked the cigarette with his right hand, took Luo Jin's lighter and took a deep puff.

"Hi, hoo~"

Luo Jin chatted with him for a while: "Is the crew filming smoothly recently?"

"It's okay." The stage manager glanced at him and didn't want to talk more.

He signed a confidentiality agreement when he joined the crew. This person looked unfamiliar and it was unclear whether he was from the crew.

Luo Jin was not surprised. He nodded at the two old-timers and asked knowingly, "Are they here to visit the set?"

"It's bullshit to visit the set. He's a veteran in the lighting team. He has some skills, but he's also very cunning. When the director or the boss of other departments comes, he will show a different face again."

As the groundskeeper spoke, he glanced sideways, clearly disdaining the two men's behavior.

Luo Jin continued to test: "I heard that your crew has very good benefits."

"Of course, the director is very generous." The stagehand smiled.

He went on to say, "I have been working in the entertainment industry for nearly two years now, and it is no exaggeration to say that our crew has the best food among all the crews I have ever been on.

There is no distinction between high and low, everyone eats the same, and if you finish work late at night, they will thoughtfully arrange supper. Many times it was the leading actress who helped post. To be honest, Liu Shishi is really pretty, hehe. "

"Ahem." Luo Jin reminded.

The groundskeeper laughed awkwardly, then his expression changed and he said disdainfully: "But not everyone appreciates this. Some people just want to get by and take it for granted."

“This kind of thing is common in other crews.”

"That is."

Luo Jin patted him on the shoulder, but did not ask why he didn't tell the director in person since he knew the situation.

No matter how approachable Lu Yuan is, his current status means that not everyone can talk to him.

He glanced at the two idiots and said, "Your director is here. I'll go over first. You should work hard."

"it is good."

Lu Yuan was picking at his fingers and saw Luo Jin coming towards him with a smile from a distance.

"Director Lu, I brought you breakfast." Luo Jin lifted the bag in his hand to his face and shook it.

Lu Yuan glanced at him, continued picking his fingers, and calmly walked around him.

We have been too familiar with each other during the four years of college. Every time this guy flatters me and tries to please me, something bad is going to happen.

Luo Jin was embarrassed, and came over with a smile, flattering him: "Boss Lu is amazing, he can make things happen with a flip of his hand, without even showing up, and quietly got a famous Hong Kong director embroiled in scandals. I guess he won't be able to come to the mainland to film in the future."

Lu Yuan sneered and explained casually: "Who told you that I did it? Wasn't it Huang Rong who exposed his negative information herself in order to become famous? She even tried to take advantage of Chen Guanxi's popularity last month. Why, no one wants you to film a movie, and you can't even pay for the internet fee?"

Luo Jin choked, looked at his expression, and said hesitantly: "It's really not you?" "Why do I feel that it is so much your work? When we were in school, Ya Wen and I were tricked by you many times. You are such a bad boy."

The guy rolled his eyes and said, "Stereotypes, let's talk about the facts. I'm just a small actor, how can I have such great ability?"

Luo Jin was half-believing and half-doubting, but he stopped worrying: "The director really deserves it. He has such a high-handed attitude. It's a different era now, but he still can't recognize the reality."

Seeing that Lu Yuan had been picking at his fingers, he asked with concern: "Hey, what's wrong with your hand?"

"I have a blister."

"It's a lot of pressure and humidity." Luo Jin poked his head out to take a look and said, "Well, when we're done tonight, I'll take you to get a cupping treatment. I know there's an old brand in Modou."

He kept chattering all the way.

The two found a corner and sat down. Luo Jin handed the bag over and said, "Try it quickly. This stuff is not common in Magic City now."

"what."

"Rice pancakes."

"Have not heard."

"The Dorayaki of Shanghai. Tangtang took me to eat it twice. It tasted good. I ran all the way to bring it to you early in the morning."

Lu Yuan held it in his hand. It looked a bit like a hamburger, white in the middle with a fried dough stick in between, and both sides were golden and slightly burnt.

He sniffed it and found a faint aroma of alcohol, so he opened his mouth and took a bite.

Seeing this, Luo Jin said, "Well, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Lu Yuan paused, closed his open mouth immediately, and returned the bag.

Luo Jin: “…”

The atmosphere was slightly awkward.

"Tell me, what's the matter." Lu Yuan stopped teasing him.

"It's like this, I'm making an investment recently, do you want to take a share?"

"Just tell me what investment you are making."

Luo Jin said seriously: "Real estate."

Lu Yuan took a bite of the rice cake. It was soft on the outside and crispy on the inside. The fried dough sticks were a little overcooked, but the taste was still good.

He looked suspicious: "You are doing real estate, what kind of international joke is this? How do you do it?"

Luo Jin coughed dryly and said, "Let's buy one set first to test the waters."

"Hey!" Lu Yuan suddenly realized that this grandson was planning to buy a house and was probably short of money, so he came to him for alms.

"How much?"

"Two million." Luo Jin stretched out two fingers.

"Since it's an investment, my name should be on the property certificate."

Luo Jin's face changed. He took out his cell phone, threw out the photo album, and was about to stand up.

"Where's Shishi? I want to see something with her."

"Borrow, borrow, borrow."

Lu Yuan hurriedly grabbed him and said, "What's wrong with you? How can a person who borrows money be more arrogant than me?"

Luo Jin raised his eyebrows and put his phone away.

Lu Yuan pretended not to see the dark photos from college and asked, "It's no problem to borrow money. Tell me first, why do you suddenly want to buy a house?"

"Tangtang." Luo Jin smiled sweetly and answered truthfully.

Lu Yuan understood immediately that this grandson was probably going to settle down in Shanghai in the future, so he stopped asking questions.

"Okay, I'll call you later."

After chatting for a while and eating the rice cakes, he saw that the scene was set up, patted his butt and prepared to film.

Luo Jin reminded him in vain: "Hey, you'd better pay attention to the crew. When I came here, I saw two old lighting experts slacking off. I talked to the stage manager and found that there were many other people like this besides them."

"I know who you're talking about. These guys are quite capable, but they also have a lot of small flaws. I'm planning on finding an opportunity to deal with them."

"As long as you know what's going on."
