However, Tao Yuche soon had no time to think about these things. It was time to shoot his scenes, and they were busy until 9 o'clock in the evening.
Tao Yuche took the phone from his assistant and found that Ji Yanli called him but the call was not connected. He left a message on WeChat: What's wrong, baby?
This time, Tao Yuche directly dialed the video call, and the person on the other end quickly answered. Tao Yuche found that Ji Yanli's background was the study, so he asked, "Are you still busy?"
Ji Yanli rubbed his brows, his hoarse voice unable to conceal his deep fatigue, "No, it's done."
"Did you just finish filming? When you called me during the day, I was in a meeting. What's going on?"
Tao Yuche: "Can't it be that I miss you?"
Ji Yanli laughed heartily, "Sure, sure, sure! I'll come visit you at work after I'm done with this busy period."
When it came time to open his mouth, Tao Yuche didn't know what to ask. No matter what he said, it seemed very pretentious. However, he just didn't want Brother Ji to become an emotional person because of him.
Seeing the child hesitant, Ji Yanli said, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy with the filming today?"
Tao Yuche glanced at the man with a gentle and tolerant smile and said, "No, I heard today that the general manager of Dingsheng was fired, and Director Sun is still looking for new investment."
Tao Yuche's thoughts were all written on his face. Ji Yanli found it a little funny but also felt that his child was too sensible. Even though his brother was a few years older than the child, if he had his brother backing him up after encountering this incident, he would inevitably add fuel to the fire and make things worse.
And his child never made any request from beginning to end, as if he completely trusted that he would seek justice for him. Now he is even worried that he will be affected.
"Got it? Don't worry. I fired him partly because of you, but the bigger reason is that he doesn't have the ability to take on the responsibility."
"As for Director Sun's investment, I only withdrew a portion of it. This portion was originally invested by me personally because of you. Otherwise, based on the evaluation of this movie, it would not be worth such a large investment."
However, what Ji Yanli did not say was that his withdrawal of investment at this time would likely affect the funding for post-production for the crew, and Director Sun was destined to miss out on the award he had dreamed of at this film festival.
Tao Yuche felt relieved after hearing this. His brother Yan was still the rational and calm President Ji.
As the two were chatting, Tao Yuche fell asleep. Looking at the person sleeping leaning on the chair, Ji Yanli did not hang up the phone, but just stayed with him quietly.
Busy times always pass quickly. Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. The previous scenes have finally been finished. Next, Tao Yuche will be able to return to normal filming and no longer have to shoot day and night.
Wearing a down jacket and holding a hot water bottle, Tao Yuche lay on the chair behind the director, warming himself with an electric fan and reading the script leisurely.
Qian Duoduo, who had just been freezing, ran in laughing and said, "Wow! You're really enjoying this!"
Before Tao Yuche could retort, assistant Zhang Li came trotting in and whispered a few words into Tao Yuche's ear.
Tao Yuche didn't have time to pay attention to Qian Duoduo. He happily threw down the script in his hand and ran out without even having time to button up his down jacket.
A week ago, they moved to this filming location. The snow was deep in the mountains and forests, and the snow was not even knee-deep in some places. The environment was so harsh. However, what he could not stand the most was that the signal was very unstable. It was difficult for him to even video chat with the old man.
Tao Yuche ran out of the tent and shivered in the cold wind. However, at this moment, he could not care about anything except the tall figure in front of him.
Towering trees, heavy snow, and a crackling stove. Tao Yuche poured a cup of boiling water and handed it over, "Brother Yan, are you done?"
Ji Yanli took a sip of water, stood up and hugged the man in his arms: "I missed you."
"And I didn't want my little one to be envious of others, so I brought some snacks to visit. So, how would you rate me, boyfriend?"
Tao Yuche turned around and kissed Ji Yanli on the mouth, "Well, 6 points."
Ji Yanli kissed back and then complained, "I just barely passed!"
"I'm afraid you'll be proud. You still have a lot of room for improvement. Comrade, you have to work hard!" Ji Yanli grabbed the hand that patted his shoulder, pulled the person into his arms, and whispered in Tao Yuche's ear: "Ha! Work hard? I'll work hard now."
Tao Yuche: ...
Tao Yuche's tent was very close to the filming camp, and he could hear the busy sounds of everyone outside clearly. In such an environment and such a situation, the word "shy" could no longer be used to describe Tao Yuche.
However, Ji Yanli continued to talk dirty. Tao Yuche had to endure the uncontrollable moans, but was also afraid that Ji Yanli's dirty talk was too loud and would be heard by people outside.
After a love affair, Tao Yuche was "physically and mentally exhausted".
At noon, the director also knew that Ji Yanli came to visit Tao Yuche's class.
Although Ji Yanli was not an investor, Zhang Wei still arranged a small welcome party.
Everyone gathered around the stove and ate noodles in a bucket. Yes, it was noodles in a bucket, and they were brought as gifts from the seasonal banquet.
Zhang Wei, eating his noodles, looked at Ji Yanli with some embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry for neglecting Mr. Ji."
After saying that, he spread his hands again and said, "You have seen our conditions. The bucket of noodles you brought is really the best thing we can offer right now."
Ji Yanli: "Understood."
He had already finished the big meal he wanted, and now he would be happy even if he just ate steamed buns.
Ji Yanli’s arrival was just a small episode. After eating the bucket noodles, everyone except Tao Yuche continued with the intense and arduous filming.
However, Ji Yanli could not stay for too long and left at 3 pm.
Qian Duoduo looked at Tao Yuche who was staring at the mountain road and said, "Hey! If you can't bear to let him stay, why don't you let him stay? It's not easy to come here. It will be midnight when he arrives in the city, and he won't be able to do anything."
Tao Yuche looked at the empty mountain road, his eyes turned red, and his whole body looked wilted like an eggplant hit by frost!
"He's very busy at the end of the year, and it took a lot of effort for him to find time to come this time."
Qian Duoduo saw that Tao Yuche's expression didn't look fake, so he bumped into Tao Yuche's shoulder. "Are you two serious?"
Tao Yuche looked at Qian Duoduo speechlessly, "How could it be fake?"
Qian Duoduo gave Tao Yuche a thumbs up.
However, Tao Yuche just felt confused.
Everyone knew that Zhang Wei gave Tao Yuche some leave in order to catch up with the progress. Tao Yuche stayed on the crew for another two months before finishing the filming. He even spent the Spring Festival with the crew.
Standing downstairs of Ji's house, Tao Yuche secretly sent a message to Fang Ze.
Tao Yuche: [I'm here. Is he still in the meeting?]
Fang Ze: [Yes, please come up. He won’t be able to find out.]
Tao Yuche: [okk]
