Chapter 44 Are You Really a Eunuch?!
Chapter 44 Are You Really a Eunuch?!
7 p.m.
After a busy day, Xu Ke dragged his tired body back to the hotel.
I sincerely feel that I am really old.
Going back a few years, when has he ever gotten off work so early?
After finishing the daytime scenes, we had to shoot the nighttime scenes as well.
I was busy until one or two in the morning, and finally I had to privately guide the female star on her acting skills before I could fall asleep.
But now?
After just sitting on the set for a day, he felt sore in his back, weak all over, and listless.
"Hiss~ha~it's becoming less and less useful."
After taking a sip of the boiling hot Wubao tea, Xu Ke was filled with sighs.
Then he sat down at the table, put on his glasses, inserted the USB drive into the computer, imported the materials, and started editing.
It's already mid-October.
The film company asked him to produce the film before January so that it could be released during the Lunar New Year holiday.
In other words, in less than a hundred days.
Xu Ke not only had to shoot the entire play, but also edit it well and submit it for review.
To be honest, this is no longer too difficult to ask.
This is totally making things difficult for Xu Ke.
But there is no way, after hearing the first sentence, I have to run around.
In order to ensure that the film could be released on time, Xu Ke had to work overtime. After finishing the filming, he returned to the hotel to edit the film on the computer.
Among them, the only one who could give Xu Ke some comfort was Jiang Nian.
He is really easygoing!
Not only during filming, his acting skills were superb and he nailed every scene in one take.
The lens sense is also unusually good.
Just edit it a bit and you can use it directly.
"Letting him play Yu Huatian was the best choice I made in this play!"
Xu Ke sighed.
Fortunately, Yang Mi found him and recommended Jiang Nian to him.
And he did not look down on him just because he was a newcomer.
Otherwise, who knows what the situation would be like now!
“When I think about it this way, I feel motivated.”
"Keep cutting."
Xu Ke said this to himself and went back to his work.
However, he had only been cutting it for a short time.
"Ding-ling-ling—"
"Ding-ling-ling—"
A quick ring rang suddenly, causing Xu Ke to frown.
He wondered who was calling him so late at night, so he picked up the phone and looked.
When he saw the caller, his eyes widened - 110!
"???"
Xu Ke was confused.
I was thinking "Fuck it!"
No, what the fuck happened?
Why did 110 call him?!
Xu Ke did not dare to delay and answered the call immediately.
I heard a "Hello" from the other end, so I asked, "Hello, we are from the Hengdian Police Station. Is this Mr. Xu, Director Xu?"
Xu Ke nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's me, what can I do for you?"
"It's like this, Director Xu, Jiang Nian and Zhang Xinyu from your crew are now in our police station, and we need you to come over and claim them."
"Jiang Nian? Xiao Zhang?"
When Xu Ke heard the names of these two people, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
No, he was just praising Jiang Nian.
But before you know it, you're in jail!
And with Concubine Li?
Damn it.
In an instant, many images flashed through Xu Ke's mind.
"Um, can I ask why they went in?"
Xu Ke said cautiously.
Hearing this, the operator on the other end of the phone did not hide anything and said directly: "You are talking about this. Ms. Zhang Xinyu was harassed by someone, and Jiang Nian was acting bravely and accidentally beat up the person who harassed Zhang Xinyu. After our investigation, we have completed the case and closed it."
Xu Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's how it is, that's good, that's good."
He was afraid that Jiang Nian and Zhang Xinyu were in jail because of the mess in their crotches, but fortunately that was not the case.
"When will you come to pick them up?"
"Right away, right away, I'll go right away!"
Xu Ke said hurriedly, then hung up the phone, saved the contents on the computer, put on his clothes, and hurried out.
It was half an hour later when he arrived at the police station.
"Hello, officer. Where are Jiang Nian and the others now?"
Arriving at the front desk, Xu Ke asked.
Hearing this, the police officer on duty at the front desk knew that the real owner had arrived, so he said "wait a moment" and went to the detention room to call for help. He watched Jiang Nian and Zhang Xinyu being taken out by the police.
Under the instructions of the police officer, Xu Ke completed the formalities and left the police station with Jiang Nian and others.
"What's going on?"
As soon as he walked out of the police station, Xu Ke started asking questions.
How could this happen out of the blue?
Hearing this, the two did not hide anything and directly talked about what happened today.
After learning that Zhang Xinyu was harassed by a fanatical fan and even stabbed.
Xu Ke's face was gloomy and he felt scared.
"This groove thing!"
"Teacher Jiang, thanks to you!"
Xu Ke cursed inwardly, then looked at Jiang Nian and expressed gratitude.
Fortunately, Jiang Nian was present today and did not let that person succeed.
Otherwise, are they still filming?
Take a few shots!
If someone dies, the entire crew will have to disband.
Even if it hadn't broken up, no one would want to go to the cinema to watch a movie in which someone died during the filming during the Chinese New Year, or at any other time!
It can be said that Jiang Nian's move indirectly saved their "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" crew.
Hearing this, Jiang Nian waved his hand nonchalantly: "You're welcome. It's just a matter of convenience."
Xu Ke nodded.
Then he looked at Zhang Xinyu and felt a headache.
As the woman behind Yu Huatian in "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate", Concubine Li does not have many plots.
All in all, there are only two acts.
After this happened, Xu Ke should have just finished filming the two scenes of Concubine Li and then kicked her out.
But here is the problem.
The company behind Zhang Xinyu is one of the investors of this drama.
The investor had only one request, which was that no matter what happened, Zhang Xinyu had to finish filming the show.
The purpose of doing this is very simple, which is to allow Zhang Xinyu to get in touch with big figures like Li Lianjie and Zhou Xun and expand her network.
This meant that Xu Ke was unable to finish filming Zhang Xinyu's scenes directly, allowing her to leave the crew.
But if she doesn't leave, similar things might happen again in the future.
“What a hot potato!”
Xu Ke said to himself, then thought for a moment, and looked at Jiang Nian and said, "Teacher Jiang, can I trouble you for something?"
"explain."
"It's Zhang Xinyu's situation. You've seen it. If you have time, could you please send her off?"
Xu Ke suggested.
If you ask them who feels the most secure in the crew, Jiang Nian says he is second, and no one dares to say he is first.
He can even subdue a fanatical fan with a knife easily, so asking him to look after Zhang Xinyu should not be a problem.
Hearing this, Zhang Xinyu's eyes lit up, and she was obviously very tempted by Xu Ke's proposal.
Jiang Nian, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes slightly.
Let him take care of Zhang Xinyu?
"No, I'm afraid of trouble."
Jiang Nian waved his hand and refused without hesitation.
Are you kidding? He doesn’t even have enough time to practice every day, so how can he have time to care about others?
After hearing this, Zhang Xinyu suddenly became anxious.
She quickly grabbed Jiang Nian and said, "Don't, don't, Teacher Jiang, I'm not a bother at all. I'm very worry-free, Director Xu, don't you agree?"
"Ah?" Xu Ke was stunned. Is he involved in this?
Then, noticing Zhang Xinyu's constant glances, he nodded: "Yes, Teacher Jiang, Xinyu is very worry-free, please think about it again."
Hearing this, Jiang Nian looked at Zhang Yuxin suspiciously: "Really?"
"Really? Besides, I won't let you, Mr. Jiang, work in vain."
Zhang Xinyu leaned close to Jiang Nian's ear, touched the muscles that gave him a sense of security, and whispered.
Jiang Nian was not a child and immediately understood what she meant.
His breathing became heavier: "Are you serious?"
"Of course!" Zhang Xinyu showed a victorious smile on her face.
"it is good!"
Jiang Nian responded, then grabbed Zhang Yuxin's shoulders and said, "In that case, please go home by yourself from now on. I have something else to do. I'll leave first. Bye."
After saying that, he pulled Zhang Yuxin aside, strode past her and walked towards home.
Watching his leaving figure.
The smile on Zhang Xinyu's face suddenly froze.
"???"
No, she has done all this, and you are not moved?
Are you really a eunuch?!
