"Uncle Li, we have made rapid progress today and the task is almost completed. You can let everyone go back and rest until five o'clock tomorrow morning." Xie Jinzhi packed up his things and instructed Li Qiming.
Li Qiming was invited by Xie Jinzhi himself to be the assistant director, not because he wanted to seek help, but because Li Qiming was Xie Jihuai's best friend.
He needed to reassure Xie Jihuai, as Xie Jihuai had always been worried about his unwillingness to accept his sponsorship for filming.
After a day of filming, Wen Runruan felt like her legs weren't her own after the scene, especially since she was hanging on wires today, which really hurt.
"Xiaoxiao, help me, I can't stand!" Xiao Xiao supported Wen Ruanruan and looked at her with some heartache, "I'll get you some medicine tonight, remember to apply it."
Wen Ruanruan leaned tiredly on Xiao Xiao's shoulder and nodded. When they returned to the hotel, Wen Ruanruan collapsed on the bed, "Xiao Xiao, I want to eat!"
"What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you." Xiao Xiao handed the wet handkerchief to Wen Runruan.
The handkerchief was soaked in cold water, which brought some coolness to Wen Ruan on the hot summer day. She immediately threw it on her face, her voice muffled, and she said muffledly: "I want to eat barbecue, spicy hot pot, and snail noodles."
Xiao Xiao agreed: "Don't buy too much. Eating too much at night is not easy to digest. I will buy you some snail noodles."
"Okay!" Wen Runruan sat up excitedly. The original owner had a physique that would not gain weight no matter how much he ate, so Xiao Xiao did not stop him.
Not long after Xiao Xiao left, someone knocked on the door. Wen Ruan was so engrossed in playing with her phone, "Who is it?"
"Miss Wen, it's me, Qian Duo!" The voice through the door was a little unclear, but Wen Runruan still heard it clearly.
Qian Duo is Xie Jinzhi's assistant. Why are you here so late? Wen Ruan reluctantly got up from the bed. She had been hanging on the wire for too long and now felt a little pain where it was tied. Wen Ruan walked slowly.
When I opened the door, I saw Qian Duo holding a bag filled with a bunch of medicine, "Miss Wen, these are the medicines the director asked me to give you."
"So good? Then let Xiao Xiao not buy it. Thank the director for me. You've worked hard!" Wen Runruan happily took the medicine when she heard it was medicine, said thank you and went in.
Qian Duo scratched his head. This was the first time "Miss Wen" had been so kind, even saying thank you. He didn't think much of it, just assuming she was in a good mood today. He grabbed his bag and headed to another actor's room.
Xie Jinzhi was watching a film with the post-production team. Qian Duo spoke to Xie Jinzhi after delivering the medicine. Qian Duo was about to leave when Xie Jinzhi suddenly stopped him and asked, "Did you see anything?"
After asking, she gestured for him to look at the screen, which was showing the important fight scene being filmed today. Qian Duo was also from the Film Academy, and was a classmate and childhood sweetheart of Xie Jinzhi. Although he was currently his assistant, Xie Jinzhi had never positioned him that way.
He looked at her carefully and then felt strange: "Why are Wen Ruanruan's movements so smooth? The strength is also unexpected."
Listening to Qian Duo's words, Xie Jinzhi smiled, "You think so too?"
Xie Jinzhi remembered what he asked the martial arts director before filming.
"Uncle Liu, how is Wen Ruanruan learning his moves?"
"Uh, Director Xie, this Wen Ruan might not be so good on the first try. I don't remember the movements well, and there's not much power."
"It's okay, let's take the photo first."
However, Wen Runruan’s movements now are completely different from what the martial arts director described. The improvement in acting skills is understandable, but what about the martial arts movements?
He and Xie Jihuai once watched a senior who had studied martial arts for several years filming a fight scene, and Wen Runruan's level was about the same as this senior.
"It's okay, maybe it's because I put in the effort." Xie Jinzhi didn't expose it. He wanted to see how far Wen Runruan could go.
Qian Duo didn't think much about it. He told Xie Jinzhi to go to bed early and then left.
"Brother? Why did you call me suddenly?" Wen Runruan picked up the phone, a little curious.
The voice on the other end was a little tired but gentle: "I heard Xiao Xiao say she was buying medicine for you? What's wrong with you?"
Wen Ruan was fiddling with the ointment Qian Duo had brought. "I was just about to tell Xiao Xiao not to buy any more medicine, because the director gave us all some. It's nothing, just a little sore from hanging on the wire all day."
Wen Zhixing sighed from the other side: "I don't know what you're thinking. If you're tired, go home and rest. If the crew needs money, we'll invest."
"Brother, why are you saying this again? I'm fine. I'm not that delicate." Wen Runruan looked at the medicine in her hand and became unhappy when she heard Wen Zhixing's words.
"Okay, but you must take care of yourself. By the way, your parents will be back the day after tomorrow. Do you have any performances the day after tomorrow?"
"The day after tomorrow? I think I have a show in the morning." Wen Runruan squeezed out a little ointment and rubbed it on her waist. It felt cool, and the red marks on her waist were slightly relieved.
The phone was still on the bed, and Wen Zhixing's voice was heard: "Then I'll pick you up at noon."
"Okay, then I'll apply the medicine first, and then I'll hang up!" Wen Runruan hung up the phone without caring whether the other party reacted or not.
Wen Zhixing looked at the phone interface where the call was hung up and smiled. What a hot-tempered girl.
Then he made another call to someone.
The call was answered quickly. The voice was low, but it was a female voice: "Boss Wen, what's going on?"
Wen Zhixing was processing the files that had just been transferred to his computer. "Is Ruanruan's crew short of funds?"
"Yes, but Mr. Wen, Director Xie does not accept sponsorship." The woman reminded Wen Zhixing.
"Yeah, I'm short on money. Anyone who says he's Xie Jihuai's son is eager to give him money. Anyway, you can help me take care of the crew and ask them to buy me better props. And be sure to pay attention to safety issues." Wen Zhixing checked the time. "It's getting late now. I'm going to hang up now."
