After watching an astronomical amount of money being charged to his credit card, Director Zhang was so sad that he was speechless.
If he hadn't been required to direct and arrange the upcoming itinerary, he would have probably collapsed in grief by now.
After taking a few deep breaths and relaxing for a while, Director Zhang forced himself to pull himself together. He clapped his hands and asked everyone in the program crew to focus their attention on him.
"We'll be resting in a nearby hotel later. Everyone, take advantage of this time to rest and recharge your batteries. Starting tomorrow, it's going to be a tough battle. Assistant Director, please help me distribute the room list to the team members. The rooms for the six teachers have already been arranged, so you can just pack up and move in..."
As he spoke, Director Zhang's gaze subconsciously fell on the artists on the stage. However, the next moment, he was suddenly stunned.
Six? Wait, that number... doesn't seem right? One, two, three, four, five... where's the six? But according to the plan, the show did have six guests. Since rising star Zhou Ying got in trouble and was removed, the last artist should be the temporary replacement.
He said he wanted to find a good girl, but why is there no one here now? Don’t tell that guy that he accidentally got stuck at an airport and couldn’t catch up with us!
The thought of this possibility intensified Director Zhang's fury, and even his voice was filled with annoyance. "Where's the other person? Where's the artist who replaced Zhou Ying? Where's she going?! Tell me your name!"
Director Zhang is usually very generous and treating people to meals is a common thing, but when it comes to work, he is like the King of Hell, especially when he gets angry, the people under him dare not even breathe and wish they could disappear on the spot.
Just like at this moment, the lively dinner party that was originally filled with talking and laughing suddenly became silent and completely quiet.
Everyone looked at each other, not daring to touch this bad luck. At the same time, they couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards the replacement artist whose face they didn't even recognize and who he was.
You say, as a replacement, why not just stay put? It's already a great honor to have the opportunity to participate in such a big production. Why are you acting so pretentiously? Why don't you look at the heavyweight lineup of others?
But then again, what was the name of the artist who replaced them? They vaguely remembered that during the opening scene, the other party seemed to show his face and also said his name, which seemed to be...
"Yu...Yu Yu."
A small, white, tender hand with greasy fingers was raised tremblingly in the silent air.
The owner of this little hand was holding a half-eaten roasted pork chop in his mouth, with tears in his eyes and a trembling face, as if he was frightened by Director Zhang.
To be honest, although it is very sad that my wallet was emptied, I can't hate Director Zhang as a person.
Firstly, the girl really helped a lot and did some practical things. Secondly, the girl was pretty and looked well-behaved. But considering the way she looked like she was about to cry because of him, Director Zhang really couldn't be fierce to her.
His expression softened slightly before Director Zhang spoke again, "It's okay. I'm not talking about you anymore. You did a good job. Just keep working hard. I was talking about the artist who temporarily replaced you..."
"No, sorry... Director Zhang, I'm the replacement artist, Yu Yu. I think I introduced myself when I first arrived at the airport..."
For a moment, the air was somewhat silent.
This kind of silence was what Yu Yu felt most uncomfortable and disliked the most, especially now, Director Zhang looked dazed, as if he was frightened by her, which made Yu Yu feel even more embarrassed.
She didn't blame the production team for not remembering her. After all, she wasn't very popular and was often treated as a transparent person. Such situations had happened many times in the past.
Besides, Yu Yu also thought that she did not do a good job and did not take the initiative to reveal the identity of the character in the middle. It is reasonable for her to apologize.
But... looking at the pot of roasted pork ribs in front of me that I have almost finished, it has become a little cold now. If it is left for a while longer, the roasted pork ribs will lose its "soul".
It's okay to be scolded, it doesn't hurt anyway, but the thought that the roasted spareribs will lose their "soul" makes Yu Yu so heartbroken that he can't breathe.
With this in mind, Yu Yu, after raising his hand to introduce himself, could not help but speak again, adding with an extremely serious expression, "But wait, Director Zhang, give me ten minutes. In ten minutes, I will definitely listen to your training obediently and not refute a single word you say. But if I don't eat the roasted spareribs quickly now, they will cry."
“!”
“!!”
“!!!”
The Shao Pai Gu fans didn’t know whether they would cry or not. They only knew that their director Zhang not only looked like he was about to cry, but also looked like he was going crazy.
This is not the point. The point is that they can no longer hold back the laughter that is shaking in their chests. Let them go, okay? They are innocent, and they can no longer hold back their laughter!
The staff around had faces that were a little distorted from trying to hold back laughter, and they were shouting in their hearts.
Especially Zhang Meng who was sitting next to Yu Yu, he had already curled up in a ball, twitching and shaking uncontrollably. Finally, when he accidentally glanced at his normally serious uncle with a look of "WTF" on his face, he officially broke down and couldn't help laughing.
Laughter is contagious.
The next moment, the entire audience burst into laughter uncontrollably, as if they had already forgotten the solemn and silent atmosphere just now.
Director Zhang's mood was even more complicated. At this moment, compared to anger, his heart was filled with "fuck" and he couldn't vent it.
He wanted to say something, but the words got stuck in his throat as he faced Yu's face, which said, "The roasted pork ribs will cry, let me finish eating them first."
So, Zhang Meng, who was laughing happily at the side, became even more annoying in Director Zhang's eyes. His face darkened, and Director Zhang directly sent a message to his "dear" nephew: "I suddenly feel that what my brother said is absolutely right. Your family spoils you too much and shouldn't give you too much pocket money. Therefore, I think I shouldn't make an exception for you. From now on, you will eat whatever the production team eats!"
"..." Shit, what does this have to do with him? My uncle is just holding a grudge! Didn't he agree to go with the production team? If he didn't go to Africa to film lions, he would get pocket money? Liar!
Now, it was Zhang Meng's turn to cry. He pulled Yu Yu and complained with a sad face.
Yu Yu, who was completely focused on the great cause of not wanting the "Roasted Spare Ribs to Cry", was concentrating on gnawing on the roasted spare ribs. Of course, he didn't pay attention to what Zhang Meng was muttering, but seeing that the other person looked like he was about to cry...
Yu Yu looked at the remaining one-third of the roasted ribs, then looked at the tearful expression on Zhang Meng's face. Finally, he closed his eyes tightly and, with great pain, divided a small portion of the remaining roasted ribs and placed it in front of Zhang Meng. He said, "Come on, don't be sad. I'll treat you to some roasted ribs. You'll feel better once you're full, and you won't feel like crying anymore."
“…”
