Chapter 10 The wind starts from your group is really abstract.
After a brief silence, Chen Xing heard the person in front of him say, "Your agent and assistant must be worried about you all the time, right?"
"Now that you mention it, I just remembered that I haven't sent a message to them yet," Chen Xing took out his phone, "They must be missing me right now."
Three kilometers away, Lu Qing at the barbecue stall sneezed.
The proprietress, who looked very exotic, served her another plate of lamb chops and spoke in authentic Xinjiang Mandarin: "The lamb skewers are ready~"
"Oh, this tastes so authentic," Lu Qing chewed the fragrant mutton skewers and shook his head regretfully, "It's a pity you can't have it."
"Is this the point?!"
The angry voice came from the mobile phone on the wooden table.
On the phone screen, Xiao Wu was holding a big doll, sitting on the sofa in the living room, shaking his feet anxiously: "Xiao Zhu just said three good words in the group, but he didn't reply when I asked him."
"Yeah." Lu Qing, who had been treating Xiao Wu's words as white noise, nodded perfunctorily and thought to himself: The mutton is so fragrant and pure, without any smell of mutton.
Little Wu on the other side felt something was not right. He slapped the sofa and figured it out: "Could this be his signal for help?"
Lu Qing: “Hmm… hm?”
Xiao Wu picked up the phone: "I want to call the police to save him!"
Lu Qing: “???”
Xiao Wu's shout almost choked Lu Qing to death, and he had to take a sip of Sprite to swallow it down.
Lu Qing, who saved himself, frowned: "Can you stop being so startled?"
Xiao Wu had no idea what was going on. His mind was only on Chen Xing, who was thousands of miles away. "You said Xiao Zhu is not an actor after all, so he can't talk to them... What if they form a clique to exclude him and steal his food?"
Lu Qing: “……?”
Let’s not talk about the possibility of exclusion, what does it mean to steal food?
Don’t those people’s companies provide meals? Why are they competing with Chen Xing for meals?
"Do you really think you are his father? I'll give you a day off so you won't have to worry about me."
"But——" Xiao Wu wanted to speak.
"Even if something like this really happens, don't you believe in Chen Xing's ability to respond?" Lu Qing interrupted Xiao Wu.
Chen Xingduwei immediately became anxious and stood up abruptly: "Of course not, I'm just afraid that he will be too happy when he meets people of the same age and tell them everything, and in the end..."
"Are you afraid that he will be betrayed? And used as a stepping stone?" Lu Qing asked.
Lu Qing looked at the list of contestants and found that they all had good reputations and did not seem like people who would do anything bad.
And even if someone really was playing tricks on him, Chen Xing, a shrewd man, would be able to see through it at a glance.
Lu Qing thought for a moment and replied, "So what? He was able to handle all those things by himself. Do you think he can't handle these?"
Xiao Wu was stunned, and couldn't help but tighten his hands around the doll: "...That's right."
Lu Qing also knew that Xiao Wu cared about Chen Xing. If anyone in the company wanted to say that Chen Xing was their best friend, Wu Fangqi would be the first choice and no one would say second. So his voice softened, "And don't think so badly of others. I've seen that those of the same age are all good kids with ambition, not to mention the older seniors. Let's see how Chen Xing builds a good relationship with them!"
After Lu Qing finished speaking, he gulped down half a bottle of Sprite and slammed the table with his big hand, causing the table and chairs to shake twice.
“Bang!”
Wang Baiyue pointed to the ceiling confidently and slowly said the name in front of everyone: "Brother and sister, stand up!"
"Just keep talking, why are you banging the table?" Zheng Qi checked if the table legs were crooked, "Fortunately they are not crooked."
Wang Baiyue felt embarrassed and touched his temples: "Doesn't this make me look more imposing?"
Chen Xing held the unpeeled lotus seed skin in his left hand, pointed at Wang Baiyue's hand that was slapping the table with his right hand, and asked worriedly, "Doesn't your hand hurt?"
"It does hurt a bit." Wang Baiyue covered his hand and sat down.
Zhao Xingyu pouted his lips and said in Cantonese: "Come, let Daddy D blow it with you."
Wang Baiyue laughed and scolded: "Go away."
The sky gradually darkened, and the soft yellow overhead light enveloped the seven people who were discussing the team name around the dining table.
In fact, they signed up for several team names, such as "Newcomer Assembly" and "Qiwei Dihuang Pills", but they were all banned in the end. There were also some words such as "newcomer", "actor", "acting skills" and "NG", which were rejected because the duplication rate was too high and other teams must have thought of them.
The filming crew assigned to them couldn't sit still.
The meals prepared by the program team are already packed in insulated boxes and are right at the gate. You can pick them up whenever you write your team name.
The other groups were almost done eating, but this group had been discussing for half an hour and still hadn’t come to an answer.
The assistant director asked in the voiceover: "I think 'Brothers and Sisters Stand Up' is pretty good?"
Chen Xing peeled lotus seeds and replied, "No, this is too embarrassing and not fun."
The assistant director asked again, "What about the gathering of elites? It sounds serious enough."
Zhao Xingyu shook his head: "This is too old-fashioned and not abstract enough."
Assistant Director: “……?”
The assistant director was not discouraged and asked about the name he had thought of before: "What about 'Hope of the Village'? Isn't it interesting? It sounds funny too."
What they got was a collective shake of the head.
Wang Baiyue folded his hands and answered seriously: "This is interesting, but..."
The atmosphere suddenly became like an interrogation room, and the assistant director asked weakly, "But?"
Xue Si Nian replied: "But this is Internet slang, we have our own way of pursuing laughter."
Assistant Director: “……?” Why do you want to pursue this?
At this time, Xia Huanming, who had been taking notes, turned the pen in his left hand and said in a serious tone: "Let me first set a few necessary requirements and then select them. Otherwise, we can discuss it for another half an hour."
Everyone agreed with the captain's words, and the assistant director nodded frequently.
Xia Huanming was indeed more steady and stepped forward to stop the team members from making trouble.
As the assistant director finished thinking this, Xia Huanming wrote a few words on the notebook and then said in a voice as gentle as rain: "The first requirement is - to be funnier than the other groups."
Assistant Director: “…” Steady ass.
Zheng Peiya thought about it for a while, and after discussing it quietly with Xue Si Nian, she raised her hand cautiously and suggested: "Why don't everyone tell us about your memorable and funny experiences on the set."
Before anyone else could speak, the assistant director agreed: "That's good!"
After waiting for a long time, the progress bar finally moved!
Everyone began to take turns telling about what they encountered on the crew, and the assistant director quietly retreated behind the photographer and watched the filming with satisfaction.
The camera recorded enough material to take the editor half a day to edit.
For example, when making a homemade movie, the microphone didn't pick up the sound, and the college students were embarrassed; when filming, it rained and it turned out to be a storm...
What impressed Chen Xing the most was the misunderstanding of the old man told by Wang Baiyue.
That happened when Wang Baiyue and Xia Huanming were in the same crew. When they were going up the mountain, they met a grandfather who was lost. The grandfather was pale and thin, his clothes had two big holes, and he couldn't speak. Xia Huanming was the first to see him and the first to get off the car. He treated the old man to his own lunch box, while Wang Baiyue helped call the police to find a place.
Finally, the police came and were shocked when they escorted the old man to his doorstep. How could this be a homeless old man? He lived in a four-story villa with a back garden.
Later, I learned from other people that the old man was one of the first households to be relocated in the town, and that he was not dumb, but he was not wearing braces that day, so his speech was unclear. He was in very good health. As for the clothes, the grandfather's daughter said that the old man wanted to keep up with the trend of young people, so he put on his grandson's shirt to go for a walk with his old lover, and he ran into them when he came back.
This story itself has many twists and turns, coupled with Wang Baiyue's perfect rhythm, Chen Xing was so absorbed in it that he even forgot to peel the lotus seeds.
"What a twist and turn on the mountain road." Xue Si Nian said in shock, "What happened in the end?"
"In the end, the whole family gave us a lot of fresh seafood," Wang Baiyue is still recalling the experience of that day, and he is afraid that he will never forget it in his life.
"If it weren't for Xia Huanming's kindness, you wouldn't have encountered such a thing." Zheng Qi looked at Xia Huanming.
Xia Huanming crossed his legs and looked calm and composed the whole time, as if it had nothing to do with him at the moment.
Zheng Peiya's eyes fell on Chen Xing's face, who had never told a story: "What about you, little pig? Do you have a story?"
Chen Xing didn't expect to be cueed. He swallowed the half-chewed lotus seeds and said, "I have something to ask, but it's not for the crew, it's for the program crew."
Xia Huanming raised his chin: "It's okay, go ahead."
Chen Xing's story is very simple. After receiving his lunch box, he went to the toilet and when he came back he found the director sitting on the lunch box.
It's just that Chen Xing mentioned all the details, and the ending came to an abrupt end at the climax. After everyone realized what was going on, they immediately burst into laughter, and even the filming crew was amused.
“Oh my god, the O. Henry ending, hahahaha——”
"No, this is the funniest thing. I can't stand it!"
“Hahahahahahaha – I’m not making this up, is this really happening?!”
“Oh my god! It’s even curry and rice, hahahaha!”
Chen Xing slowly completed the sentence amidst the chaotic laughter: "The most important thing is that the lunch box has no lid, and there is a piece of meat hanging on the director's jeans."
Zheng Qi, who laughed the loudest, interrupted Chen Xing and said, "Stop talking. I know that PD. If you keep talking, I will really have some memories. I will go ask him after the show!"
Chen Xing defended himself: "I didn't do it on purpose."
Xia Huanming also laughed and glanced at him: "Which good family would put lunch boxes on the chair?"
Chen Xing: “…” He is from a good family.
Zheng Peiya was very rational and was really considering: "Why not just ask for the lunch box to have no lid?"
Zhao Xingyu raised his hands in agreement: "Okay, this is both abstract and funny, and most importantly, no other group would ever choose this name."
Zheng Qi also agreed: "Even if this is Xiaozhu's own dark history, it has nothing to do with us. We will not embarrass ourselves."
Chen Xing: “?”
What does it mean?
Does that mean he can be embarrassed?
The others just wanted to tease Chen Xing, so they all agreed.
Chen Xing quickly looked at Xia Huanming and signaled to him not to agree.
Xia Huanming replied solemnly: "It is not necessary."
Chen Xing's eyes suddenly lit up.
Xia Huanming closed his notebook and said, "Let's discuss this for another half an hour."
Everyone: “…”
This one is a real dog.
