The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 546 Shaking
Charlene Choi has four scenes in total.

According to the shooting plan, the four scenes will be arranged together and completed within two days.

The first activity today was to check the health of the fetus in the hospital.

Cai Zhuoyan put on a surgical gown, sat on the examination bed, and faced the display corresponding to the fetal heart monitor.

The girl from the Han family stood beside her, stretching her neck, staring at the image of the fetus on the screen with great curiosity.

“Hey, he (she) can move.”

The doctor patiently explained to her: "Of course, this is an image of a 16-week pregnancy. Look, here are the face, fingers, and toes."

Han's daughter's curiosity was not diminished. She slowly moved her eyes upward along the outline of the fetus's feet. After staring for a long time, she asked foolishly, "Can you tell whether it's a boy or a girl from this?"

"Of course not. This is a fetal heart rate monitor and it can't tell the gender." Charlene Choi knew more than her.

"That's B-ultrasound. B-ultrasound will definitely work." Han Jianu said to herself, and looked at the doctor expectantly for an answer.

The middle-aged female doctor kept silent and only gave a meaningful smile.

The Han family girl didn't bother to argue. She suddenly turned her head and asked, "Ah Sa, have you ever thought about when you will have a baby?"

This question should not have been asked.

But maybe it was a woman's intuition, or maybe it was something Zheng Qian said that made her dislike the other person.

Although she is 30 years old and divorced, she always puts on an innocent and bright look, speaks in a cute way, acts cute maliciously, and pesters Lu Yuan to take pictures.

In Zheng Qian's words, she is very coquettish.

Charlene Choi is not clear about her identity, only that she is one of the screenwriters.

She didn't want to answer the question and evaded it by saying, "I'm still young and my career is my priority. I don't have any plans to get married or have a baby in the short term."

"Oh!" The girl from the Han family responded.

"Brother, what about you? When Sister Shishi gives birth to a baby, I will ask to be her godmother."

Lu Yuan ignored her and asked Li Weng to quickly drag her away. The script supervisor clapped the board and the filming began.

"Action!"

Cai Zhuoyan lay down on the examination bed.

An extra dressed as a doctor placed the probe on her abdomen and moved it slowly, while the image of the fetus was displayed on the screen.

"You heard the baby's heartbeat, right? It's healthy. From now on, you can feel the baby's movements."

Charlene Choi's face exudes the unique tenderness of motherhood.

Lu Yuan stood at the end of the bed, looking at her with a heavy heart.

"."

"it is good."

"Pass."

A very short scene.

Wen Muye was quite straightforward this time and passed it in three tries.

Charlene Choi only appeared briefly in the entire play, and the focus was on Lu Yuan's eyes.

The crew finished work early in the afternoon, just after 5 o'clock, and everyone packed up and went back to the hotel.

Because today is May 1st, Labor Day.

There are no statutory holidays in this industry, and the crew will arrange work according to everyone's schedule and shooting progress.

When budgets are limited, people tend to try to cut down on non-essential expenses, including so-called vacations, in order to save costs.

"New World" had a sufficient budget, and the shooting targets of the past few days were completed as scheduled, so we finished work early on the evening of May 1st and started work later the next morning, allowing everyone to take a break from their busy schedule and sleep in.

The crew has been filming for a month and the shooting progress has quietly passed the halfway point.

Even though the daily food and benefits are very good, the high-intensity shooting day and night still causes the condition of most staff members to begin to decline, and their mental state urgently needs to be recharged.

Therefore, Lu Yuan booked the top floor of a restaurant and let everyone eat and drink to their heart's content.

As night fell, when Lu Yuan came out of the hotel, he met Cai Zhuoyan in the lobby.

She wore a bright yellow sweatshirt, a pair of retro jeans, and white sneakers. Her long brown hair was slightly curled and fell lightly on her shoulders. A white baseball cap added a bit of youthful vitality.

"Teacher Lu, what a coincidence."

"What a coincidence! This outfit suits you very well." Lu Yuan complimented politely.

Cai Zhuoyan was surprised. Lu Yuan was gentle and had a high emotional intelligence. This was the conclusion she came to after a day of observation.

Although he will not express his emotions clearly about the people and things he dislikes, simply keeping a distance can make it all clear.

When she was taking photos with Lu Yuan in the morning, when she was leaning against his shoulder, she noticed that he was dodging.

In the subsequent contacts, she keenly noticed that Lu Yuan had no intention of having an in-depth communication with her.

She was not sure she could defeat the opponent in a short period of time.

"Oh, thank you." She smiled beautifully, but was secretly calculating in her heart.

She can only stay on the crew for two days, so she must seize the opportunity and perhaps take some appropriate measures.

"Where's your assistant?"

"Oh, she's not feeling well and is resting in the hotel."

"That's it."

They got in their respective cars, went to the restaurant, and headed straight to the top floor.

The rooftop terrace is spacious and looking around, it feels as if you are embraced by the vast galaxy.

The theme for tonight is open-air barbecue.

There were many small round tables arranged in an orderly manner on the rooftop, and many people were sitting at them.

The wall near the entrance is decorated with a projector that is broadcasting a football match. There is a small platform in front of the guardrail on the other side, which is equipped with drum sets, speakers, microphones and other equipment.

"I dare not look back at the end of this mortal world. I have become crazy and empty forever. I have let you go and have nothing left. Loving you for the rest of my life is just a dream."

The affectionate and slightly vicissitudes of life singing voice floated in the air.

Liang Jiahui was standing on the stage, wearing a white vest, holding a microphone, swaying like he was in a concert, having a blast.

When Lu Yuan appeared, some crew members noticed him first and started to make a fuss.

"Teacher Lu is here. Do you want to go up and sing?"

"Yes, I haven't heard Teacher Lu sing yet."

Faced with such an invitation, Lu Yuan smiled and waved his hand to decline: "No, no, everyone has worked hard during this period, and you can eat as much as you want tonight."

He found a seat and sat down, and everyone saw this and did not force him.

When Liang Jiahui finished singing, there was thunderous applause. Then, amid cheers, Charlene Choi walked onto the stage confidently. She debuted as a singer.

"."

Lu Yuan was considering whether to eat grilled squid or oysters when he caught sight of a bottle of Menglong red wine on the table.

Just as I was about to reach out to take it, I noticed Liang Jiahui walking over.

He gave a thumbs up and said, "I never thought you had such a talent. It's a pity that you didn't release an album."

This guy can’t sing well himself, but he can tell that the other person’s voice is very good.

Liang Jiahui wiped the sweat off his face, sat down, and said with a smile: "It has indeed been released. In the early years, I saw Hua Zai, Liang Chaowei, and Zhou Runfa all released albums, and the market response was quite good. I also tried it once.

The album was called "Seduce Me Forever", but it didn't make much of a splash. That experience made me realize that I didn't have much talent, and it would be better for me to just focus on filming."

We have to admit that the older generation of Hong Kong artists are indeed multi-talented.

Faced with a gradually declining and increasingly competitive market, they have no choice but to develop in multiple areas. They may not be very proficient in any of them, but they can sing, dance, and act a little.

"Why don't you go up?"

"I can't do it. I don't have any talent. I'm worried that it will affect everyone's appetite." This guy joked to himself.

As soon as these words were spoken, Liang Jiahui burst into laughter.

Lu Yuan knows himself well and knows his own specialty. It is quite difficult to focus on two things at once.

Especially in terms of professional ability, it is even more difficult to reach a relatively high level. It means a lot of time and energy investment, as well as various extraordinary explorations and training.

If you are not careful, it may bring adverse effects to your own work.

For example, Huang Xiaoming’s - Nao Taitao.

"puff."

"Come, try this wine." He opened the bottle of Menglong and poured him some.

Liang Jiahui picked it up, took a sip, and didn't say whether it was good or bad. He first asked: "Why, what's the saying about this wine?"

Lu Yuan knew that he was thinking wrongly, and explained with a smile: "My senior sister Zhao Wei bought a winery in France last year, and the wine produced is of this brand."

Zhao Wei also sent him a few bottles of red wine, which were high-end in price.

But he didn't like to drink it, so he divided it into three portions, sent two back home to his father and second uncle, and gave the last portion to Liu's father.

Liang Jiahui pursed his lips and recalled the taste: "It tastes a little bitter, which is acceptable, but I prefer drinking white wine."

As he spoke, he took out a small bottle of Xifeng liquor from his pocket.

Liang Jiahui is a well-known alcoholic in the circle. In 05, he had a car accident due to drinking, but he only remembered to eat and not to fight. When he was resting, he would continue to drink.

Lu Yuan was a little confused. From what he had learned during this period, the drinking habits of people in Hong Kong and the mainland were very different.

When drinking in Hong Kong, a group of people would find a lounge or a bar to sit in, order a few small plates of snacks, beer, red wine, foreign liquor, and mixed drinks, but there was rarely any white wine.

If you attend a cocktail party, you have to dress formally, follow all the etiquette, drink a glass of wine, swirl it around a few times, and still have half a glass left.

It is different in mainland China. When you invite people to drink, it must be white wine. Beer and red wine are not considered alcohol.

When it comes to wine, Liang Jiahui becomes excited.

"Are you curious about why I like liquor?"

"Well, sort of."

Liang Jiahui smiled and said: "I drank my first sip of baijiu in Inner Mongolia. Director Li Hanxiang took me to Beijing to film "Behind the Curtain" and asked me to go to Inner Mongolia to practice horse riding.

I also tried hard at that time. I was kicked by the horse and rolled off, but I had no complaints. Perhaps because they saw my hard work, the two Inner Mongolian men who taught me horse riding took me out for a drink one night. That was my first time to come into contact with white wine.

I was dizzy after drinking, and they suddenly went crazy and wanted to release the horses. Without waiting for me to refuse, they put a military coat on me, threw me on the horse's back, grabbed the horse's mane and carried me to the grassland."

The two of them ate barbecue, drank wine, and talked and laughed happily.

"eggplant!"

Cai Zhuoyan came down from the stage at some point, holding up her cell phone, jumping around, and pointing the camera at the two of them.

Lu Yuan and Liang Jiahui raised their hands in coordination, their smiles frozen in the camera.

"Click."

Charlene Choi and Nick Leung have worked together in a movie, in which they played father and daughter and were very familiar with each other.

After she sat down, Lu Yuan joked, "You sang really well. If I had known this, I should have invited you to the interlude of "Out of Time and Space"."

Well, actually he was just chatting with Liang Jiahui the whole time and didn’t even listen to how Cai Zhuoyan sang. He just praised her out of habit.

Cai Zhuoyan heard this, her eyes curved into crescents, and her expression was happy: "Next time there is such an opportunity, remember to find me, it's free."

"Hahaha, okay."

"Where did you get the liquor?"

"I brought it here. I've had this habit for a long time. You even asked me about it when we were filming 'The Great Dad'. Why, did you forget?" Liang Jiahui's cheeks flushed.

Cai Zhuoyan laughed and was about to say something when a middle-aged man hurriedly approached and walked straight towards her, with anxiety written all over his face.

Lu Yuan had an impression that this man was Charlene Choi's driver.

"What's wrong?" Cai Zhuoyan glanced at Lu Yuan out of the corner of her eye.

The middle-aged man explained: "Just now the school teacher called and said that my son is sick and has a high fever of 40 degrees. I have to go to the hospital now."

Cai Zhuoyan followed the script and immediately urged: "Then hurry up, what are you waiting for, don't delay."

"But if I leave, who will take you back to the hotel later?" The middle-aged man seemed a little embarrassed and turned his eyes to Lu Yuan and Liang Jiahui.

"It's already this time, why are you still concerned about this kind of thing?"

Cai Zhuoyan shook her head and said with concern: "The most important thing now is the child. At worst, I can take a taxi, or, if it's convenient, I can take Teacher Lu's car back."

The driver looked at Lu Yuan, his eyes full of help.

What else could Lu Yuan say? He agreed, "The child's health is important. You should go to the hospital quickly. Ah Sa can take my car back."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu. Thank you so much!"

After thanking me repeatedly, the driver quickly turned around and left.

Cai Zhuoyan stared at the other person's back until he went downstairs, then turned to the two of them.

She shifted her gaze to the table, picked up the bottle of white wine that Liang Jiahui brought, and filled herself up.

"Come on, Mr. Lu, I'll toast you a glass."

Liang Jiahui stared at Cai Zhuoyan.

She was behaving strangely tonight and had forgotten her habit of carrying alcohol with her, and the driver happened to be busy.

All of this made Liang Jiahui suspicious, and his eyes wandered between her and Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes and felt something was wrong. He raised his glass and the two of them clinked glasses.

"boom."

Cai Zhuoyan hesitated for a few seconds, took a sip, her eyes suddenly widened, her little face wrinkled, and her expression was distorted.

"Hiss, so spicy, so spicy."

Neon lights flicker and the moonlight is alluring.

At 11: at night, a group of people came out of the restaurant.

Lu Yuan drank some wine. Although he was not drunk, he was a little tipsy. The cool breeze at night made him much more sober.

Behind her, Cai Zhuoyan's cheeks were flushed and she was supported by Zheng Qian. She seemed to be a little drunk.

Lu Yuan stood in front of the car and waited for a while.

After a while, Cai Zhuoyan approached with unsteady steps, and when getting into the car, her body suddenly tilted and she fell into his arms.

Lu Yuan sniffed the faint fragrance of hair and alarm bells rang in his heart!

"Hey, what are you doing? Where are you leaning against?" Zheng Qian was depressed, but her strength was too weak to hold on.

“Cheers again!” Cai Zhuoyan reached out her hands in a daze, hugged his neck, and almost hung on him.

Lu Yuan frowned. Having worked in the industry for many years, he was extremely sensitive to the camera. He subconsciously looked in a certain direction, but it was already late and pitch black, and he did not find the paparazzi he had imagined.

"Huh." Zheng Qian used all her strength and pushed Cai Zhuoyan into the car while cursing.

"You sit in the back." Lu Yuan said to her, bent down, made his height level with Zheng Qian, and went straight to the passenger seat.

Driver Xiao Li has followed Lu Yuan for many years. He realized at this moment that something was wrong and that he might have been secretly photographed.

"Boss."

"Drive forward, stop when I tell you to." Lu Yuan had a blank expression on his face. He would not doubt his professional sensitivity. There must have been a camera just now.

As to whether it was premeditated, he glanced in the rearview mirror.

The car started and drove slowly towards the hotel.

Just a moment later, a Santana with many scratches drove out and followed closely behind.

The flat-headed paparazzi sitting in the passenger seat said, "We've already got the photos we wanted, why are we still chasing them? What if we get caught?"

"Let's wait and see, maybe there will be a surprise."

Two cars, one in front and one behind.

On a remote road section, they found that the vehicle in front of them suddenly stopped.

Then, the car body began to shake violently.
