That night, Chu Yinlong had a rare nightmare.
In the dream he was a policeman, chasing criminals. After a difficult fight, he finally met the leader of the criminal organization and forced him to a cliff. However, when the other person turned around, he discovered that the other person was actually Jiang Dao.
Jiang Dao's body was covered in blood, with a dagger stuck between his chest and abdomen, and he was still coughing up blood.
However, Chu Yinlong's subconscious awareness of his identity as a policeman prevented him from taking even a single step forward. He could only watch Jiang Dao retreat, one step, two steps, and finally fall off the cliff.
Then he suddenly appeared in the hospital. The doctor pushed Jiang Dao out of the operating room, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, he fell from such a height, I couldn't save him."
Then, reporters came rushing up to him: "Do you have anything to say about this accident on the set?" "What was your original intention in designing such a high-risk action as falling off a cliff?" "Why was the set not well protected?" "Do you think you are responsible for his death?"
“No, no…”
Chu Yinlong watched himself being swept away by countless people, getting farther and farther away from the person lying there.
He struggled to push the crowd aside, wanted to rush forward to take a look, he didn't believe he would die, and couldn't accept that he died because of him... However, he was powerless, he couldn't push the crowd aside, he could no longer get to him...
Chu Yinlong was filled with pain and despair reaching the extreme point when he suddenly woke up and found himself holding the quilt tightly, with legs wrapped tightly around his waist, making him unable to move.
Chu Yinlong took a deep breath slowly, trying to calm his violent heartbeat. Then he turned over and lay flat on his back, untied the quilt wrapped around his body, stared at the ceiling for a long time, and finally sat up and looked at another bed not far away in the dim light of the night light in the corridor.
Jiang Dao slept very comfortably, with half of the quilt hanging under the bed and the hem of his pajamas completely lifted up to his chest. It was a relief that he could still lie on the pillow properly and his earphones did not fall off.
Chu Yinlong's eyes fell on Jiang Dao. He looked him up and down from head to toe. Finally, his eyes fell on Jiang Dao's ankles. The shape wrapped in white bandages still looked particularly dazzling in the dim light.
In addition to this, he also knew that Jiangdao had several scrapes and bruises on his arms and limbs. They were not serious and were completely invisible in such light, but he remembered clearly what they looked like and where they were located.
He himself had similar injuries, but he never cared about them.
When he realized what he was doing, Chu Yinlong was already half-kneeling in front of Jiang Dao's bed, holding the boy's hand hanging by the bed, and gently stroking his fingertips.
Suddenly waking up from a dream, Chu Yinlong shuddered slightly. When he was about to pull his hand back, Jiang Dao suddenly held it back.
"Don't go..." Jiang Dao murmured, "Don't... leave me..."
Chu Yinlong suddenly lost his strength and let Jiang Dao pull his fingers.
Jiang Dao slowly opened his eyes, still a little confused: "...Brother?"
elder brother?
who?
Qin Xiao?
Chu Yinlong frowned subconsciously.
Jiang Dao quickly woke up and let go of Chu Yinlong's hand, his voice still hoarse from sleep: "Teacher Chu? What's wrong with you..."
Chu Yinlong reached out and pulled Jiang Dao's shirt down to cover his belly, and then picked up the half quilt that had fallen on the ground and put it back on the bed. He said stiffly, "I got up to go to the bathroom. I saw you sleeping with your belly exposed. You're not afraid that the air conditioner will malfunction... Cover yourself up and have a good sleep."
After saying that, he stood up and strode into the bathroom.
Jiang Dao covered himself with the quilt and raised his hand to scratch his hair.
Did he seem to have a dream just now? What did you dream about...
Oh, it seems that it was when he had just lost his mother and was rescued by an older brother. He thought he had found a place to stay, but in the end, because of illness and weakness, he was sold to a slave trader by the older brother... Now that I think about it, it is truly a miracle that he was able to survive on his own at that time.
Thinking of this, Jiang Dao frowned, reached for his cell phone, and replaced the e-book "The Rise and Fall of Slaves" with "The War of Waves and Particles". Then he turned over, hugged the quilt and closed his eyes.
Chu Yinlong leaned against the bathroom door, a hint of self-mockery on his lips, and sighed helplessly.
…
The last scene of the entire film "Operation Red Owl" is a medium shot of Jiang Dao racing on a mountain road. This shot needs to be shot on a winding and bumpy mountain road, and it is almost impossible to design protection. It can only be done by Jiang Dao himself, and the speed of the car cannot be too low, so it is ranked as the most dangerous scene.
Chu Yinlong was sitting in the other car racing against Jiang Dao, unable to hide his nervous expression.
Next to him, the stunt driver said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, Mr. Chu. I have been a stunt driver for eight years. I guarantee safety! This car is also specially made, and the seat belts are also specially made. Don't be afraid!"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Chu Yinlong nodded slightly, his tone serious, "You have to stick close to the truck in a while... Don't stick too close, there will be a close-up there later, as long as it looks like you are close, it's fine."
"Okay!" the stunt driver agreed immediately.
"If the truck can't control the distance, please be more patient and give way." Chu Yinlong added.
"No problem!" the stunt driver nodded with a smile.
Soon, the filming vehicles, drones, fire trucks and ambulances were all in place, and the final scene of "Operation Red Owl" officially began filming.
Jiang Dao sat in the driving seat of the truck, skillfully shifted gears and started the car, quickly reaching the speed required by the script. He drove forward with a gloomy face as required by the script, and heard the assistant director's voice in his earphones: "There is a drone tracking and filming at the bend ahead, watch your expression. Be safe."
After passing the curve smoothly, the assistant director's voice came again: "Okay, slow down, the next step is a series of turns... The road is a bit bumpy, you have to pay attention to the speed, don't exceed 50."
Jiang Dao said "hmm" briefly and drove up the mountain road.
"Okay, now the car behind is catching up, and we're driving in parallel." The assistant director instructed on the channel, "Xiao Chu, pay attention to the camera, and try to get it right in one go."
Although this shooting is continuous, it will be cut into segments in post-production to insert fighting scenes and close-ups, so there are many sections in the middle where driving is a little more relaxed.
The driver of the SUV at the back was indeed a stunt driver with eight years of experience. He quickly caught up with Jiang Dao, forming a scene where the cars were running parallel to each other.
At this time, the drone also caught up, and the camera was pulled to medium distance, capturing Jiangdao's driving movements clearly.
"Okay, last turn, keep going!"
"Drive closer."
"The distance between the cars is too far. The gaps in the drone footage are too big to edit. Please get a little closer."
"Beautiful—shooting is over!"
In the passenger seat of the SUV, Chu Yinlong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The two cars pulled over. Jiang Dao put one arm on the window of the truck and looked down at Chu Yinlong with a wink: "Handsome guy, get in the car. I'll take you for a ride!"
Chu Yinlong walked to the car door, propped his hands on the window sill, and looked up: "Why, you still feel unsatisfied?"
Jiang Dao chuckled twice: "It should be more exciting to drive my own car on the winding mountain road later. The director doesn't allow people to drive more than 50. When I drive my own car, I will definitely..."
Hearing this, Chu Yinlong raised his hand and slapped Jiang Dao on the head: "How did you pass the first test? On a single-lane urban road in the same direction, what is the maximum speed limit if there is no clear speed limit sign?"
Jiang Dao said aggrievedly: "Fifty..."
At this time, the filming car arrived and slowly stopped on the side of the road. The assistant director called Chu Yinlong to see the shooting effects.
This set of shots is the last one on the schedule. If it can be done in one go, it means that "Operation Red Owl" has officially been completed.
Five minutes later, Chu Yinlong checked the shooting effects of all the cameras, picked up the loudspeaker from the seat of the filming car, and announced loudly: "Passed!"
The whole audience cheered!
As soon as Chu Yinlong got out of the car, Jiang Dao jumped into his arms and gave him a bear hug. He was stunned and lost his balance, and his back hit the car wall heavily.
Jiang Dao's bear hug suddenly turned into a double-handed wall-dong, trapping Actor Chu in the middle. His forehead met the other's lips with incredible accuracy, and he finally managed to brake, with his eyebrows touching his lips neither lightly nor heavily.
The cheers from the audience suddenly stopped.
Chu Yinlong: ...
Jiangdao: ...
Not far away, the logistics girl looked calm and asked the handsome boy next to her in a low voice: "Did you take the picture?"
The little handsome boy's ears turned red: "I took a picture..."
The logistics girl pushed her glasses with satisfaction.
The handsome boy trembled in fear: "But, Sister An, what do you want these behind-the-scenes footage for? We have signed a confidentiality agreement..."
The logistics girl didn't answer, but just gave him a kind smile.
At this time, in the field, Jiang Dao climbed up from Chu Yinlong and gently scratched his forehead: "Sorry, I was too hard..."
Chu Yinlong pursed his lips, his Adam's apple rolled subconsciously, and his voice was low: "...It's okay."
Jiang Dao looked embarrassed, his eyes rolled around, then he put on an excited smile and hugged the assistant director, chief artist, cameraman and other people who were close to him one by one.
The assistant director was also a smart guy. After hugging Jiang Dao, he went to hug Chu Yinlong. The lead beauty and cameraman immediately followed suit, and then the makeup artists and stylists who were watching also hugged each other and laughed, and eventually the entire cast and crew hugged each other to celebrate.
After the "celebration", everyone packed up and returned to the villa. A small celebration will be held in the villa tonight, and the official wrap-up party will be held after returning home, and all the cast and crew will be invited to attend.
After returning to the villa, Jiang Dao took a shower, then lay on the bed to send a message to Jing Yu - Jing Yu had been asking him when the filming would be finished these past two days, and said that she wanted to congratulate him as soon as possible.
As soon as the message was sent, Chu Yinlong pushed the door open and asked, "When do you want to return home?"
Jiang Dao was surprised and turned over to lie on the quilt: "You still want to think about it? Aren't we going back to China together after the filming?"
Chu Yinlong said, "No need. If you have travel plans, just report to the logistics team and don't book tickets with them. You can leave the team and move freely. You can rush back before the wrap party."
Jiang Dao raised one arm to cushion his head and thought for a moment: "Travel plan... Come to think of it, this country really seems to be a tourist destination... Oh, no, I can't understand the language here without a translator. I'd better go back to my country with the crew."
It just so happened that the filming of the movie was completed and it was time for him to think about how to contact his adopted brother and find out about his own life experience.
After a moment of silence, Chu Yinlong cleared his throat.
"If you want to travel, don't worry about the language barrier." He tried to make his tone sound casual, "I can go with you."
