Chapter 250 It won’t be long before she cries
Thinking of not letting the other person's words fall to the ground, Shen Li took the initiative to answer.
Unexpectedly, after hearing what Chen Li said, Sui Yu just glanced back lightly and did not respond.
Chen Li didn't think much about it, but just continued to look out the window curiously.
The mountain road was bumpy and some people couldn't stand it and wanted to vomit not long after they set off. Chen Li also felt dizzy. Seeing this, the director had to ask the convoy to stop and everyone took a short break and got off the car to get some fresh air.
Chen Li took out her cell phone and took a look, only to find that there was no signal. Perhaps it was because they were in the mountains, and she didn't know if there would be a signal after she reached the village.
She heard laughter from the side and subconsciously looked up.
I saw Sui Yu and several male actors of the same age gathered together and chatting enthusiastically, especially Sui Yu, who was almost the only one talking non-stop.
"Is this the first time for you guys to make a movie of this kind?"
"I've taken a lot of photos, and this is my third time working with a guide."
"The film he won the award for? I didn't catch it. I didn't have time to watch it at the time, so I missed it."
"You look familiar to me. Did you star in a hit drama last year? A period drama..."
She was so talkative in front of the three boys, picking up the conversation and making jokes with ease, and occasionally bursting into hearty laughter, and she quickly became friends with the others.
Chen Li didn't care. After listening for a while, she got into the car.
Little did she know that Sui Yu had been paying attention to her out of the corner of his eye. When he saw her get into the car, he changed the subject and said, "You guys can't be like He Zixiao and can't endure hardship, right?"
"That can't happen. We have to be mentally prepared."
"The contract has been signed, and I don't have the money to break it."
"That's right. No matter how hard it is, we have to grit our teeth and finish filming. Luckily, the filming period for this movie is not long, so we can get through it if we persevere."
Several male actors shook their heads to indicate that they could persevere.
Sui Yu smiled broadly and said, "I'm used to it. I've encountered even tougher filming conditions than this. It's just that I don't know what some people are here for."
"Who are you talking about?" Several people looked at her curiously.
Sui Yu chuckled and curled her lips, stating her intentions before speaking: "I'm not looking down on anyone, I'm just worried that some people will blindly pursue opportunities and find that they can't take them. Filming in the countryside is really hard. You guys can persevere if you grit your teeth, but it's really difficult for girls."
As she spoke, she glanced in the direction of the van and said, "Do you know the person in the car?"
"You mean Chenli?"
Sui Yu nodded.
Someone quickly responded, "I know. Wasn't she on several trending searches last year? I'm quite quiet and pretty."
Others also said they knew Chen Li.
Sui Yu pretended to be casual and said, "I'm not saying anything, but can she, who is from the ancient idol drama industry, suddenly come to film this type of movie and do it?"
"Sister Sui Yu, you can't be so absolute. You're a girl too, and you've been filming this type of movie, haven't you?"
"I'm different. I've always considered myself a boy. I'm not exaggerating. The girls I've met who filmed this type of thing either gave up halfway or cried while filming. After the filming was over, they all said they would never do it again."
After hearing her say this, several boys couldn't help but look at each other. Thinking about it in their minds, they didn't think it was an exaggeration. Most girls really couldn't handle such shooting conditions.
Seeing the reactions on their faces, Sui Yu couldn't help but feel proud: "Just wait and see, she'll be crying soon!"
After a short break, Director Xiang Tian asked everyone to get in the car and continue on their journey. Chen Li saw through the car window that Sui Yu and the other boys got into the car while chatting and joking. It didn't look like they had just met, but rather like friends who had known each other for a long time.
Chen Li blinked in surprise. She had never possessed the ability to quickly integrate with a group of new faces, and this was the first time she had seen it with her own eyes.
She just remembered that she had just taken the initiative to respond to the other party's words, but the other party remained indifferent, which made her feel a little strange.
The convoy traveled on the mountain road for nearly an hour and finally arrived at the shooting location "Honglin Village".
This village in the mountains was built on the hillside of Buttocks Mountain. Large tracts of farmland were cultivated around the village. Looking into the distance, all you can see are endless hillsides and forests.
For the first time, Chen Li truly felt the meaning of being "trapped in the mountains."
Perhaps it was the first time that the crew came to shoot the scene, and the villagers rushed over to watch the fun upon hearing the news. Most of these people were left-behind elderly people and children, and the remaining young and middle-aged people were all women.
Director Xiang Tian was in a hurry to arrange the opening ceremony, which was an essential part of all crews. It was in order to pray that everything would go smoothly during the filming and it could not be omitted.
The actors gathered together to burn incense and worship, and the crew also had to ask the local gods for permission before starting filming in a new environment. Although they were superstitious, they all believed that sincerity would be effective, and this step was also the rule of all crews.
As if they had never seen so many outsiders before, the villagers gathered from a distance and looked at this side with different expressions, mostly curious, but also wary.
Soon, the village chief arrived late.
The crew had already informed the village chief about the filming, and the house they rented was from the village chief.
After saying hello, the village chief drove to the center of the village with the crew. The villagers who came to watch the fun did not disperse, but followed slowly behind, and the children even ran after the car with laughter.
There are no roads in the village, and there are undried muddy dirt roads everywhere. The humid air after the rain mixed with cow dung and horse dung on the ground has a very pungent smell.
"This place is amazing. How did the director find it?"
Someone couldn't help but speak as he looked at the dilapidated and backward village.
The others just laughed when they heard this, but Chen Li moved her mouth slightly and swallowed the words back when she was about to speak.
Thinking of the embarrassment of no one responding to her initiative just now, she chose not to say anything this time.
But she knew the other party's doubts, because this movie was adapted from a true event, and the prototype of that true event took place in a village on another hill of "Buttocks Mountain".
The director actually visited the village for the film, and then traveled around and visited several other villages before finally choosing this place as the filming location.
These were the preliminary work that Chen Li did in order to join the group. She looked up a lot of information, so she was very familiar with all of this.
Soon, the car slowly stopped and everyone got out.
The assistant director frowned and called everyone to assemble: "Let's arrange the accommodation first. The rooms are all rented from the villagers, and the crew has prepared new bedding. Don't worry, everyone, we just can't have a room per person. This is all marked in the contract, everyone should know."
At this time, Sui Yu raised his hand and said, "Director, I have an RV, so you don't need to arrange for me."
On the other side, Han Qidong also said: "I also brought an RV."
Seeing this, Chen Li had no choice but to raise her hand: “Director, I also have an RV.”
I had originally promised everyone that I would start updating from Monday, but moving was really too tiring and exhausting, and it was already midnight when I finished all the trivial tasks.
But I don’t want to make you wait any longer, so I plan to stay up late from early morning to six in the morning to make up for the updates for you. In order to prevent someone from staying up late at night waiting, I will release the updated chapters together at six in the morning tomorrow, so you can read them as soon as you get up.
The supplementary chapters are not considered as guaranteed updates, so tomorrow, in addition to the supplementary chapters released this morning, there will still be two guaranteed chapters updated in the evening. I can't guarantee how many chapters I can add in total, but I'll do my best.
