Chapter 29 Poor Loading
As soon as they entered the door, Tian Xingyu spoke to Wen Nian twice but no one responded.
"Wen Nian?"
"Ah?" Wen Nian came back to his senses.
"What are you thinking about? So serious."
Wen Nian tugged at the suitcase and said, "It suddenly occurred to me, Senior, how am I supposed to complete my mission when you have such a low sense of presence?"
Judging from the situation, there might not be many people in the program crew who knew him, so how could they possibly listen to the suggestion of her, a little assistant, to give Tian Xingyu more shots? It would be good enough if they didn't kick her out.
A sincere question: "How did you manage to get into the group?"
Tian Xingyu: "...How mean."
"No, I'm just asking in a friendly way. Don't make assumptions about my tone."
Wen Nian followed him. He sighed and said reluctantly, "Maybe it was just luck. The person originally scheduled to take the role suddenly broke his leg, so I came in as a replacement."
"Can't find a replacement?"
"...That's enough, Wen Nian. If you say another word, I'll throw you out."
Wen Nian shut up honestly.
But to be honest, it was really because they couldn't find anyone. The guy who broke his leg was actually a very famous actor, and most people didn't dare to be his substitute for fear of being scolded.
In addition, the incident happened suddenly and it was difficult to find someone. He happened to be the only idle person in Xinyu, so he was thrown in.
The two went to their respective rooms.
Wen Nian packed up for a while and received a message from Tian Xingyu.
She said that the program crew invited her to a dinner party and to arrange the filming for tomorrow, so she would not have dinner with her.
She put down her work and replied:
[Okay, be careful not to be too flattering or too honest with your words. Work harder and don't act like a troublemaker. But try to chat a little and make your presence felt. Don't just stand there like an idiot.]
When she received the message, Tian Xingyu was already on her way downstairs. She looked at the screen and laughed out loud: "Okay, I didn't know you were my senior."
Wen Nian: [That's fine, junior.]
Tian Xingyu: [Go away, don't push your luck.]
—
The moment she stepped outside, Tian Xingyu once again felt the dangers of the entertainment industry.
Through the crack in the door, you can see that the house is full of people and the dishes have been served.
But he had just received the message five minutes ago.
...speechless.
He rolled his eyes and was about to push the door open when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
Inside, the man leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and scrolled through his phone boredly. His relaxed demeanor was completely different from everyone else's.
You don't even need to see the face to know who this guy is.
But why is he here?
While feeling doubtful, Tian Xingyu sighed with a fearless attitude. The moment he pushed the door open, his expression suddenly brightened and he smiled as happily as he could.
"I'm sorry, seniors, I'm late."
The sound in the room suddenly stopped, and several inquiring and unfriendly gazes fell on him.
No one said anything for several seconds.
Damn it, stop it.
He maintained a smile, but his embarrassment could hardly be hidden.
The leg that had just stepped in stopped in its tracks, unable to move forward or backward. He slowly glanced around at the people in the room, trying to find a savior who could help him out.
After an unknown amount of time, a voice like divine music finally rang out:
"Can you please come in quickly and not block the light?"
There was still a sense of impatience and laziness, making it difficult to tell whether the words were good or bad.
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhijian would help her. Tian Xingyu smiled at the people in the room and walked tactfully to the only empty seat.
The condensed air melted away again.
Tian Xingyu just wanted to say, I’m tired.
He was given a show of force right from the start, without even a chance to interrupt. No one cared.
Having nothing to do, I simply looked at the people in the room one by one——
The two middle-aged men in the middle are the producer and the director respectively. Next to the producer is Xu Zhijian, needless to say, the two men and two women to the left are the big names who have joined the team. They are either movie kings or actresses or idols who have been trained and established.
Further on are a few smaller celebrities as supporting roles, and finally here is him - the most obscure celebrity.
After the meal started, Xu Zhijian was still playing games.
As they exchanged humble thanks, the producer glanced at him, not finding it inappropriate, and asked with a smile, "How many episodes does Zhijian plan to stay this time?"
Although they had not had much dealings in the past, Xu Zhijian's family was quite powerful after all, and had considerable influence in the Beijing circle, so they always had to give them some face.
What's more, this kid is a guest sent by the investor overnight, and he joins the crew with salary, so he cannot be neglected.
All in all, for the program team, this is actually a blessing from heaven.
Xu Zhijian has had a great influence on the Internet recently. Any qualified businessman would never miss out on this huge amount of traffic.
Moreover, there weren't that many people coming this time, and having more people actually made it more lively.
From a rational perspective, Xu Zhijian's importance is even greater than everyone else present. After all, these stars have signed contracts in advance and there will be no changes.
He is different and may change at any time.
Moreover, judging from the look of this guy, he doesn't really want to participate in the show.
Although they don't know the reason, if he can stay for a few more issues, they can make more money.
The producer looked expectant.
Xu Zhijian typed rapidly, and it took him a long while to respond: "What?"
“…”
The producer almost froze. It was the first time he was ignored, and his expression was filled with emotion.
Seeing someone looking at him, he immediately started smiling again.
Bear with me.
If you have money, you are the boss, you have to be spoiled.
"I say, how many sessions do you plan to stay this time?"
"oh."
Oh? It’s gone???
Have you read the random reply?
Xu Zhijian was playing with such enthusiasm that his brain automatically paused everything around him. After a long time, when the producer was disappointed and thought he would not get any response, he raised his chin, his eyes still glued to the screen.
"I'll stay for as many terms as he does."
Following the direction he pointed, the unknown Tian Xingyu, who was happily eating shrimp, looked confused and met the producer's extremely confused eyes.
He chewed and chewed, giving an awkward but polite smile.
“I only signed for one issue.”

Seven o'clock in the evening.
Wen Nian came back from outside with dinner.
I was wondering whether I should order another cup of milk tea.
When passing by a staff member pushing a cargo rack in the corridor, he accidentally bumped into the stack of boxes that was half a body taller than him.
Without noticing it, the box above him wobbled and fell down.
"careful!"
When the man's voice came, it was too late. Wen Nian was startled and subconsciously raised his arms to block his head.
The expected pain did not come.
Seeing a shadow falling on the ground, Wen Nian breathed a sigh of relief and turned back: "Thank you——"
The next second, he bumped into a pair of deep black pupils, with a cold light flashing under the long eyelashes. An indescribable emotion replaced the sharp danger of the past.
A little dazed, helpless, and a little pitiful.
A moment of surprise flashed across Wen Nian's face, and then his expression became a little subtle. Before he could freeze, it quickly turned into the disgust he should have for the person in front of him.
Xu Zhijian naturally didn't notice her ever-changing micro-expressions. He pushed the box back and said calmly, "Be more careful next time."
The man hurriedly apologized to Wen Nian: "Okay, okay! I'm sorry."
Wen Nian nodded and said nothing.
After everyone left, her gaze shifted to Xu Zhijian again. She was waiting for him to speak, and suddenly she was very curious about what he wanted to do next.
I didn't expect that what I would see was a fleeting back view.
Just left without saying anything.
Wen Nian was stunned.
He narrowed his eyes, sneered and left after a while.
Loading.
Back in the room, Tian Xingyu sent a message: [Do you know who I met?! ]
Wen Nian: [Xu Zhijian?]
Tian Xingyu: [How do you know? Did you see him?]
Wen Nian: [Yeah, I just ran into him.]
Tian Xingyu: [He didn't do anything to you, did he?]
Wen Nian: [No.]
Tian Xingyu: [That's good. Strangely enough, he not only helped me out, but also mentioned me to the director and producer, helping me stay on for an extra episode. Isn't that amazing? It was like a dream.]
After hearing his story, Wen Nian learned that Xu Zhijian was also participating in the show as a special guest. He was probably noticed by the program team because of the recent online controversy that attracted a lot of traffic to him.
What a coincidence.
See you again so soon.
Wen Nian didn't want to bother thinking about him. The cable car access to the mountain was under repair, and he had to get up early to climb the mountain tomorrow morning. After reminding Tian Xingyu a few words, he packed up and prepared to go to bed.
—
The sky in Ningcheng gets brighter later than in the north.
In order to gain more filming time, the production crew set out at five o'clock in the morning when it was just getting light.
The hot air is humid, giving people a distinct feeling of stuffiness.
After walking a few steps, the stars began to complain.
In fact, compared with them, Wen Nian and the others had a much harder time. They had to bring quite a lot of things with them, including water cups, fans, and various cosmetics.
Others have assistants and bodyguards, but they simply rely on their four legs and four hands.
Tian Xingyu took up most of the attention and would show concern for her from time to time. After all, she was of the opposite sex, which inevitably attracted several inquiring glances.
To avoid further criticism and affecting his future career, Wen Nian warned him not to say anything and took the initiative to take two more things.
This mountain is not low, and it will take at least two hours to climb without stopping.
Wen Nian had very poor physical strength. When he was in college, he always barely passed the physical fitness test, and he had never passed the 800 mark. When he reached the halfway point of the mountain, it felt like he had been walking for a while.
My legs were sore and painful that when I lifted them up, the soles of my feet were pressed against the step, and I was holding on only by willpower.
Those stars who are far ahead of her complain, but since they don’t have to carry anything and they do a lot of exercise during their filming, singing and dancing, they actually look okay.
Compared to her, I am just a dying dog on the ground, or... a group of birds tired of flying in the sky.
No, no, no.
I got a stitch in the side.
I’m going to die…
Unable to bear it any longer, Wen Nian stopped where he was, put down the things in his hand, and squatted down.
There was a large patch of wet hair on her forehead and she was breathing softly.
Tian Xingyu turned around and asked, "Are you okay?"
She waved her hands, her eyes almost unable to open: "You go first... I'll take a break."
He glanced at the large army in front of him with an embarrassed look on his face.
If the filming was delayed because of him, he would either be spitted at or glared at, but he was also worried about leaving her here alone.
As I was hesitating, a voice suddenly came from above.
"I'm so tired, let's take a break."
Looking up, I saw Xu Zhijian sitting down on the steps. Although he said "Okay" politely, his tone did not sound like he was negotiating.
The director glanced at him and fell silent.
His breathing is steady, his complexion is normal, and he even has time to play games. How can he look tired?
"You really can't walk anymore?"
"I can't walk."
He endured it again and again.
As the saying goes, money is everything, since he was given the money by the investor himself.
But it would be so embarrassing if he suddenly interrupted his schedule just because he was alone. What's more, there were several big names here, and they were not as arrogant as him. Wouldn't that cause people to gossip?
While I was thinking about it, a female star offered me a way out: "It's okay to take a break. I'm a little tired."
Hey, you have eyes.
Remember, ask her to take pictures with you next time.
He curled his lips, wiped the sweat off his face, and pretended to be tired as well: "Okay, then everyone, let's rest here for ten minutes."
