China Entertainment: Sister, I don’t want to work hard anymore

Chapter 24 Meeting Miss Dong for the first time

When Li Xiaoran learned that the script written by Chu Hui had been chosen by director Zhao Baogang, he was sincerely happy for him.

In order to celebrate Chu Hui, Li Xiaoran also specially bought some soy beef and sheep scorpion to cook for Chu Hui to go with wine.

Chu Hui's mood was relatively calm, and he didn't feel that there was anything remarkable about him.

After all, the drama "Who's in Charge of My Youth" has a total of 32 episodes. Chu Hui still has to write 10 more episodes to fulfill Zhao Baogang's requirements. Thinking about it gives him a headache.

Moreover, when Chu Hui writes a script, he likes to work alone and quietly, and doesn't like to be disturbed by people around him. He always feels a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, when Li Xiaoran was at home, Chu Hui hardly engaged in creation and spent most of his time messing with her.

Li Xiaoran's schedule is very full. 365 days a year, nearly 300 days are spent filming on the set.

Originally, Li Xiaoran thought that when he returned to Yanjing, he could spend more time with Chu Hui.

However, less than half a month after returning, Li Xiaoran received a notice from the company and was sent to Harbin to film the new drama "Contribution" with Liu Yunlong.

The night before parting.

Li Xiaoran snuggled into Chu Hui's arms and said tenderly: "Huizi, sister is leaving tomorrow. Do you miss me?"

Chu Hui thought for a while and said, "I should think about it."

Li Xiaoran said dissatisfiedly: "If you can think, you can think. What do you mean by should? Do you think so?"

Chu Hui said calmly: "I don't know. If you are very busy every day, how can you think about this."

Li Xiaoran said quietly: "Huizi, you said that I am really boring. Is it so difficult for you to say something nice?"

Chu Hui said calmly: "Sister Xiaoran, it's not that I don't know how to speak nicely, I don't want to lie to you,"

"What if I said I would miss you, but I didn't think about it, wouldn't that be a lie to you?"

Facing the stubborn Chu Hui, Li Xiaoran said nothing more and just sighed helplessly.

In fact, even if Chu Hui didn't say anything, Li Xiaoran could still vaguely feel that sooner or later, Chu Hui would leave her.

Because of the close relationship between Chu Hui and Li Xiaoran, Chu Hui has never said "I love you" to Li Xiaoran for a year.

Chu Hui also asked Li Xiaoran to support him, trying to "profit" and "materialize" the relationship between the two.

In addition, there is the "one-year appointment" between the two. As the time gets closer and closer, Li Xiaoran becomes more and more afraid of the arrival of that day.

Perhaps, on that day, the relationship between the two will also come to an end.

After Li Xiaoran left Yanjing, Chu Hui retreated to create every day. It took him 10 days to finally write the remaining 10 episodes of "Who Calls the Shots of My Youth".

However, Chu Hui did not hand the manuscript to Zhao Baogang immediately. Instead, he kept it at home, planning to finish filming the movie "The Beginning of Spring" and then come back and give it to Zhao Baogang.

Before the filming of "The Beginning of Spring" started, the crew hired a teacher in Yanjing to teach everyone Baotou dialect for a few days, and everyone went back to practice.

Chu Hui was so careful that he recorded the teacher's pronunciation during class and transferred it to the tape recorder when he got home. He would take it out and listen to it whenever he had time. When he heard something familiar, he would start practicing again and slowly he would be able to speak with correct pronunciation. Yuan Baotou talked.

June 11, afternoon.

Under the leadership of director Gu Changwei and others, the creative crew of "The Beginning of Spring" successfully arrived in Baotou, Inner Mongolia.

It is worth mentioning that the investment scale of "The Beginning of Spring" was as high as 2000 million yuan, almost double that of "Peacock".

For a domestic literary film, this is nothing less than a big production.

With the exception of screenwriter Li Qiang, Gu Changwei has replaced the entire production team. The new director of photography Wang Lei has photographed "Jade Guanyin" and "Chinese Divorce", and the art director Wu Lizhong has just finished working on "Aunt's Postmodern Life".

A group of well-known creative staff stayed in a mid-range hotel in the county town, with one room per person.

Because Chu Hui is the male protagonist, he also has his own private room. He doesn't have to squeeze two people into one bed like ordinary staff members, although his room is at the end of the corridor.

What makes Chu Hui most satisfied is that there is a TV in the room, which can kill a lot of time.

The room next to Chu Hui lives in an actress named Dong Xuan. Zeng Chu has played Shangguan Yan in "Snowflake Goddess Dragon" and Bian Suwen in "Eight Heroes". She is quite famous both inside and outside the industry.

Originally, Gu Changwei also considered giving the role of Dong Xuan to Zhang Jingchu, but his wife Jiang Wenli disagreed and even yelled at him, "She without me, me without her."

Under pressure from all parties, Gu Changwei had no choice but to feel sorry for Zhang Jingchu, and signed Dong Xuan, who was equally pure and beautiful, into the crew of "The Beginning of Spring", hoping to have a beautiful and touching love story with him under the eyes of his wife Jiang Wenli.

Living next door to Dong Xuan is Zhang Yao, a young singer who looks a bit like Mr. Zhou. Although she is a singer, Chu Hui has never heard of her songs.

On his first day in Baotou, Chu Hui felt as if he had traveled through time, from modern Yanjing to the 1980s and 1990s.

"The Beginning of Spring" chose Baotou as the only filming location for the film because it still retains intact the changes caused to many industrial cities during the market transformation period at the end of the 20th century, and is full of the atmosphere of the late 80s.
In addition, Chu Hui thinks the place names here are quite interesting. Many places are called Naobao, such as West Naobao, Dongnaobao and so on.

Chu Hui asked the locals and found out that Naobao is Mongolian, meaning "duizi". It is also translated as "Aobao" and "Obo", which means wood, stone and earth mound. It is a "stone pile" made by man. Heap," "mound," or "heap of wood."

Chu Hui had always been curious about what the title of the song "Meet in Aobao" meant. He thought it was a meeting in a city called Aobao, but now he finally found out that it was actually a meeting at a pile of rocks.

Night falls.

Director Gu Changwei summoned six actors, including Chu Hui and Dong Xuan, for a brief meeting in his and Jiang Wenli's room.

"Everyone, don't run around if you have nothing to do at night, and pay attention to safety."

"Chu Hui, remember to tie your hair up tomorrow."

"Xiao Dong, let the makeup artist on the set give you a perm tomorrow."

"..."

While Gu Changwei was talking, Chu Hui kept staring at director Gu Changwei.

For some reason, Chu Hui always felt that Gu Changwei looked like an alien, especially his strangely protruding eyes.

What Chu Hui didn't know was that because he had been working as a photographer for many years, Gu Changwei always had to look at the camera with one eye, but he couldn't keep the other eye closed.

After doing this for a long time, Gu Changwei's eyes inevitably had some problems.

After staring at Gu Changwei for a long time, Chu Hui felt a little tired, so he looked away, but accidentally discovered that Jiang Wenli was also staring at him.

As the saying goes, you are watching the scenery from the bridge, and the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs.

After all, her husband was present, so Chu Hui did not dare to go too far and could only respond with an awkward smile to Jiang Wenli.

After the small meeting, because everyone was unfamiliar with it and didn't go out to hang out, they each went back to their rooms to rest after another hard day's work.

It was still early for Chu Hui to watch, so he turned on the TV first and checked a few channels. There was nothing interesting to watch. He didn't turn off the TV, so he just let it play.

It was too quiet in the room alone. Chu Hui felt that the sound of the TV kept it from being too deserted.

Thinking that the filming of the movie was about to start, Brother Chu Hui was quite looking forward to it. He lay on the bed and reviewed the script of "The Beginning of Spring" for a while, and then fell asleep in a daze.
