Chapter 381 "This is cheap."

"Let's eat quickly, aren't we going to Happy Valley later?"

Lian Jinian nodded vigorously, "Oh right, hurry up and eat, let's go there early before there are too many people."

The two ate breakfast and came out of the canteen.

Lian Jinian took Shen Xuewei's bag, slung it over his shoulder, and hailed a taxi to Happy Valley.

Lian Jinian had previously taken a taxi with Shen Xuewei to other places and knew that she was prone to motion sickness, so he opened the car window as soon as they got in.

The air conditioning in the car escaped, which annoyed the driver.

"Young man, I have the air conditioning on, please close the car window."

Even though Lian Jinian pretended to close the window a little, he still left a fairly wide gap.

"It's closed, it's closed, isn't it?"

Seeing that the driver was still unhappy, he made a distressed expression.

"Oh no, driver, I get carsick. If you close all the doors, I might throw up in your car. Ugh... I'm going to throw up..."

"Okay, okay, go ahead and drive, just don't make my car stink."

The driver gave up, and Lian Jinian raised an eyebrow triumphantly at Chen Xuewei, lowering his voice to say:

"How was my move?"

Shen Xuewei praised him.

"Great! I'll reward you with a cotton candy when we get to Happy Valley later."

Now that she travels by car more often, her motion sickness is not as severe as it used to be.

Sitting in the car was still a little uncomfortable, and after saying one sentence, I didn't want to say anything more.

She squinted and leaned back.

Lian Jinian put his arm around her and let her rest her head on his shoulder.

The journey from Shenbei University to Happy Valley takes more than an hour, and the two leaned against each other and slept in the car.

When they were almost there, Shen Xuewei woke up first and gently nudged Lian Jinian.

"Ji Nian, wake up, we're almost there."

"Hmm? Oh..."

Lian Jinian opened his eyes, subconsciously touched the corner of his mouth, found no saliva, and then put his hand down.

The car stopped by the roadside, and after paying the fare, the two bought tickets and entered Happy Valley.

Happy Valley is very big; Shen Xuewei and Shen Xuewen visited it once before.

However, Shen Xuewen was timid and absolutely refused to ride thrilling rides like roller coasters and pendulum swings.

Shen Xuewei found it boring to play by herself, so she didn't play either.

However, Lian Jinian was daring and, like Shen Xuewei, was interested in these exciting projects.

One of them opened his mouth, and the other nodded, and they started walking towards the exciting activities.

It was exciting, but after playing around for a while, their voices were tired from shouting.

After getting off, I found a spot, sat back to back, and looked completely dejected.

Lian Jinian tilted his head back and took a sip of his drink, quickly regaining his composure, and asked:

"Weiwei, do you want to play again?"

Shen Xuewei didn't speak, but simply reached out her hand to him and waved it weakly.

The two sat for a while longer. As darkness fell, stars dotted the sky, and the entire Happy Valley was brightly lit.

After resting, he took Shen Xuewei's hand and walked towards the Ferris wheel.

The two boarded the Ferris wheel, and as the space they were in continued to rise, Shen Xuewei looked at the extremely beautiful night view in front of her and exclaimed in admiration.

"So beautiful."

When they reached the highest point, Lian Jinian suddenly called out to her.

"Weiwei."

"Um?"

Shen Xuewei raised her head and looked at him.

Lian Jinian's lips moved, and he leaned forward, pressing his head against her.

Shen Xuewei did not refuse. She slowly closed her eyes, and hot breath sprayed over her, followed by warm lips.

...

The two returned to school at around 10 p.m.

They walked towards the dormitory area while talking.

"You're going home tomorrow, have you booked your train ticket yet?"

"Yes, I already bought it yesterday. It only takes three hours by train from school to my home to get to the city. My dad will come to the train station to pick me up, so it will be quick."

"That'll be quick. I'll take you to the train station tomorrow."

"Okay, so when are you going home, or are you staying at school for the whole summer? How about this, why don't you come back with me?"

Shen Xuewei quickly shook her head and said, "No, I have other plans. Let's talk about it later."

They've only just started dating, how could she possibly go home with him so soon?

After Lian Jinian finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong.

Seeing that Shen Xuewei refused, he was somewhat disappointed, but also felt it was normal.

Inviting a girl to your home so casually is really too presumptuous.

He changed the subject, saying, "Yes, yes, we'll talk about it later. Sigh, when I go back this time, my dad wants me to help out at the factory."

He scratched his head in frustration, “My dad does this every year. Every time I come home for vacation, he makes me work in the factory. He doesn’t pay me, he treats me like free labor…”

Lian Jinian's parents own a printing factory, with an annual income of several hundred thousand yuan, so their family is quite well-off.

Shen Xuewei listened to his complaints, but just smiled and didn't agree with him.

People are complaining about their parents, why should she, an outsider, join in?

Lian Jinian escorted her to her dormitory building and watched her go upstairs before leaving.

The next morning, after Shen Xuewei saw him off at the train station, she returned to pack her luggage and then flew to the capital.

Chu De'an hasn't started his holiday yet, but Chu Dexi has.

Chu Dexi was just too lively, so lively that Shen Xuewei sighed whenever she saw him.

She didn't want to return to Yizhou so soon to be tormented by Chu Dexi, and it just so happened that the crew of "The Turbulent Times of Farmland" was starting filming these days.

As one of the authors and screenwriters of the original novel, she had to go and see it.

I had only ever watched TV and movies before, and had never actually seen how the scenes were filmed in person.

Now that she has the opportunity, she has to take a good look.

The entire script, in collaboration with Gu Xu, was revised in May.

In mid-June, the production team had already begun casting auditions.

The production budget for this film was small, and apart from the male and female leads, the rest of the cast consisted of relatively unknown actors.

After months of rigorous dance training, Xu Yue finally landed the role of Feng Shuang after an audition.

Of course, the interview process didn't go smoothly, and the role almost went to someone else.

The director was torn between her and another actress, unable to make a decision for a long time.

Gu Xu's assistance from the sidelines ultimately led the director to cast Xu Yue.

Gu Xu pointed to Xu Yue's audition performance clip and actually said only one sentence.

"This is cheap."

Xu Yue was just an unknown newcomer, and even as the third female lead, her salary was only 100,000 yuan.

The other actress, a graduate of a dance academy, is signed with an agency and has acted in several films before, earning a fee of 500,000 yuan per film.

With just these four words, the director made the final decision to cast Xu Yue as Feng Shuang.

Gu Xu wasn't the type to do good deeds anonymously, and since he had helped, he deliberately mentioned it when Shen Xuewei asked him for advice later.

Shen Xuewei should treat Gu Xu to a meal to thank him for coming to the film crew this time.

After putting her luggage in the hotel, Shen Xuewei went straight to the film and television base.

The hotel she stayed at this time was quite close to the film and television base; it only took less than ten minutes by taxi to get there.

The filming has just started, and Gu Xu has been on set these past few days to check on the progress.

After receiving Shen Xuewei's call, I came out to meet her.

He handed a staff badge to Shen Xuewei and told her to wear it.
