After Xiao He left, Zhan Min had just turned his head when Ren Yibo's assistant, Xiao Gao, called out to him: "Director Zhan, Brother Ren needs to talk to you."
Zhan Min sighed inwardly.
What's coming will eventually come.
"Okay, Xiao Gao, wait a moment."
Xiao Gao pursed his lips: "Brother Ren is in a bit of a hurry. You know Director Zhan's temper; he especially hates it when people aren't on time..."
"Just a little while, very soon."
Zhan Min glanced at Xiao Gao. "He won't do anything to me. Just say less, okay?"
Xiao Gao hesitated for a moment, then thought that Xiao He hadn't held a grudge about him spilling coffee and had been very kind to everyone on set. Finally, biting his cheek, he nodded and said, "Then please hurry up."
"Xiao Jia".
Zhan Min called over his trusted assistant, "Come here for a moment."
He handed the keys to his assistant and then lowered his voice, saying, "Make sure to back up the footage you've recorded recently. Make sure it's properly handled so no one finds out."
The assistant took the keys, nodded, and then turned and left.
One minute later, Zhan Min and Xiao Gao knocked on Ren Yibo's door right on time.
Seeing the two enter, Ren Yibai finally smiled, though the smile didn't reach his eyes.
He glanced at his watch, then gestured with his chin towards Zhan Min: "Little Zhan, you came in right on time."
Zhan Min smiled ingratiatingly: "Teacher Ren called me, so I had to come right away."
Ren Yibo wasn't buying Zhan Min's act. He simply said in a slightly informing tone, "The film's schedule is quite tight, and Xiao Zhan probably can't manage it all by himself. So I've already called people from the company over to help your team with the post-production work."
“Okay, okay, no problem, thank you so much, Teacher Ren.” Zhan Min had no objections whatsoever; on the contrary, she was very supportive of Ren Yibo asking the company to send more people down. At the same time, she rubbed her hands together cautiously and asked, “Teacher Ren, since we’ve already spoken to the company, could you also add a little bit of funding…”
Ren Yibo frowned, stared at Zhan Min for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay."
So Ren Yibo called the company again.
Zhan Min left with a smile.
Xiao Gao glanced in the direction Zhan Min left, then at Ren Yibo who was making a phone call outside. After hesitating for a moment, he said nothing.
Coach Zhan is just making a backup in advance, there's nothing wrong with that, right? Anyway, he doesn't really need it.
It's uncertain whether he'll still be able to work here when the movie is released!
In the end, Xiao Gao didn't say anything and decisively pretended not to know.
When Ren Yibo came in after making the call, he saw Xiao Gao standing there blankly without doing anything. He was speechless for a moment. He glanced at the time and said in a nonchalant tone, "It's this time. You should prepare my dinner. Hurry up and don't be late."
"Okay, Brother Ren."
Xiao Gao nodded and jogged away from the lounge.
...
After finishing filming "Mistaken Identity", Xiao He returned to the set of "Time and Space Standoff".
When Xiao He smelled the unique machine oil scent of the props used in the film crew, he felt refreshed and revitalized.
Seeing that Xiao He was in a great mood on his first day back at work, Pu Rong asked curiously, "Brother Xiao, did you go to jail? Why do you look so free?"
Shu Han also walked over, glanced at Xiao He, and then said, "The atmosphere on that set is probably very oppressive."
Pu Rong, with an air of knowing what he was doing, patted Xiao He on the shoulder: "Brother, that's how it is when the film crew opens blind boxes. You'll get used to it."
"You don't understand, the crew was actually quite good overall, and the filming went very smoothly without any problems. When things were going well, we could usually get it right in one take. The male lead was also nice; he didn't target me or anything, it's just inexplicable..."
Xiao He pondered for a moment, then summarized: "It's that frustrating feeling that someone is plotting against you from behind, but after being on guard for a long time, the other party has done nothing."
But he was just filling in for someone, so he probably didn't offend anyone, right?
