Chapter 210 Have some shame
Seeing that Hu Xiaoxiao had just said a few words and made a bunch of useless people retreat like turtles, Xia Lu said, "Hu Xiaoxiao, you have a great eloquence. You relied on that to deceive the director and screenwriter, right?"
Hu Xiaoxiao asked Xia Lu, "Did you also rely on your words to trick them into coming here to cause trouble? It seems that you are much more eloquent than me. You tricked more than 20 people in this one move."
"Why do they agree with me? Isn't it because you're too overbearing on set, making everyone dislike you? Shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"
Hu Xiaoxiao had already recognized many of the people she had never acted with before. She said nonchalantly, "The reason isn't me, it's them. They don't mind my domineering nature, but rather their lack of talent and effort. If you're not envied, you're mediocre. Since my debut, I've had countless people envy me. I don't care about these few. The more people envy me, the more talented I am."
Xia Lu had never seen anyone as shameless as Hu Xiaoxiao. He didn't blush at all when he praised himself. Moreover, Hu Xiaoxiao particularly loved to brag about himself. "Hu Xiaoxiao, have some shame, don't you feel bad if you don't brag about yourself every day? I've been in this circle for so many years, and I've never seen you brag like this."
"Am I wrong? The more jealous they are, the more popular I am. Why don't they envy you? Isn't it because you are out of date?" The more Hu Xiaoxiao knows where others are hurt, the more he will poke there.
Xia Lu was irritated again, her heart aching with anger. "No flower stays red forever, and no one stays good forever. I want to see how long you can stay in this circle."
"My days of showing off in this circle will definitely be longer than your life."
Xia Lu didn't want to be angered to death, and she couldn't instigate others to cause trouble, so she could only leave in shame.
Others don’t dare to offend Hu Xiaoxiao. Haven’t you seen that Xia Lu, who has a background, can’t defeat Hu Xiaoxiao? So what can they do?
Soon, they dispersed in twos and threes.
It seemed as if the matter was settled.
But how could Hu Xiaoxiao just let it go? If the tiger didn't show its might, would anyone think she was a sick cat? If she didn't kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, someone would definitely come after her next time.
This circle has always been about putting down the weak and praising the strong, and is also the best at changing with the wind.
Hu Xiaoxiao wanted to find a chicken to kill, and it had to be heavy enough to intimidate people. After much calculation, he decided it was better to kill a cooked chicken than a raw one.
She immediately took out the original script and looked up the scenes that Xia Lu had not filmed later.
She originally thought that adding too much drama would have a bad impact, so she let it go. Unexpectedly, adding too little drama would have an even worse impact, to the point that they dared to jump in front of her.
Hu Xiaoxiao turned to one of the pages, which showed the scene where Yamamoto Masako was driving to track Zhao Zhenchuan. The two of them had a very exciting car race.
In the script, Xie Weihua is also set to be able to drive, and there is a scene where she drives to pick up Zhao Zhenchuan.
It was just drag racing, she would often do it when she had nothing to do, and she could do any kind of difficult car. Anyway, no one who knew her was willing to ride in her car.
Hu Xiaoxiao did what he said. He went to the film and television city, rented a Republic of China-style car, and then drove it to the screenwriter Lin Yi who was about to finish work.
"Mr. Lin, are you off work? Come on, I'll take you to the parking lot."
Lin Yi's car was parked some distance from the film and television city, and thinking it would be nice to save a few steps, he got in the car. He admired Hu Xiaoxiao's good sense and respect for the elderly, and he would personally rent a car to give him a ride. So he said kindly, "Calling me Mr. Lin is too formal. We are so familiar with each other, so just call me Uncle Lin."
Hu Xiaoxiao immediately changed the subject, "Uncle Lin, please sit down first. Also, remember to fasten your seat belt. Uncle Lin, where's Uncle Qi? How about we take him to the parking lot together?"
Lin Yi and Qi Weiming are not much different in age. Since Lin Yi is called Uncle Lin, it is also convenient for Qi Weiming to call him Uncle Qi.
Lin Yi pointed to the set where Qi Weiming was. He was filming a scene with the heroine Bao Jingmei, just two blocks away.
Hu Xiaoxiao drove the car very steadily and arrived at the set. It was just when they had finished work there that Qi Weiming came out carrying a bag.
"Uncle Qi! Uncle Qi! Over here! Look here!" Hu Xiaoxiao leaned out of the car window, waved at Qi Weiming, and called him loudly.
The loud calls of "Uncle Qi" made Qi Weiming and the actors who were finishing work or starting work look over in surprise.
Then they saw a brilliant face leaning out of the car window. Her smile was as bright as the sun, so radiant and beautiful that it seemed to light up the entire street.
Qi Weiming saw Hu Xiaoxiao waving at him several times, and then he realized that the "Uncle Qi" Hu Xiaoxiao was calling was him. But when did he become Hu Xiaoxiao's uncle?
Seeing his old friend Lin Yi also sitting in the car, Qi Weiming walked over and frowned and said, "Hu Xiaoxiao, why are you calling me Uncle Qi today? You can't call people that casually."
Hu Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "You and Uncle Lin are friends, and Uncle Lin asked me to call him Uncle. So, as Uncle Lin's good friend, shouldn't I also call you Uncle Qi? Uncle Lin, don't you agree?"
Lin Yi couldn't stop laughing and said, "Yes, yes, that's right. If you don't call him Uncle Qi, do you call him Brother Qi? If so, then I'm a generation older than him."
Seeing Qi Weiming's stern face, Hu Xiaoxiao asked quietly, "But, you already yelled just now, even if you didn't. How about I go and explain it to everyone?"
Qi Weiming waved his hand. It was just a title, and he had to send someone to explain it. Wouldn't that make him seem like he was being too nosy?
So, he agreed to what Hu Xiaoxiao called him.
When the other people in the crew heard Hu Xiaoxiao affectionately call Director Qi "Uncle Qi", they thought that Hu Xiaoxiao was so close to the director that he could be called uncle, and they didn't dare to cause trouble for Hu Xiaoxiao afterwards.
"Uncle Lin, Uncle Qi, are you all seated properly?" Hu Xiaoxiao looked back at them and said, "Fasten your seat belts."
"It's such a short distance, why are you wearing a seatbelt?" Qi Weiming was too lazy to look for the seatbelt. The car was designed in the style of the Republic of China, so the seatbelt was hidden in a hidden place to avoid being exposed.
Hu Xiaoxiao said: "Yes, it is. Safety is the most important thing. I was driving a little fast."
Qi Weiming was puzzled. It was such a short road. You had to step on the accelerator with one foot and the brake with the next. How fast could you drive?
But Hu Xiaoxiao insisted, so he had no choice but to find his seat belt and put it on, and complained to Lin Yi, "Young people nowadays are so particular."
Lin Yi said cheerfully, "When it comes to safety, it's not wrong to be more particular."
"Uncle Lin! Uncle Qi! Are you two uncles seated?" Hu Xiaoxiao asked Lin Yi and Qi Weiming with his foot on the accelerator.
Qi Weiming said unhappily, "Okay, okay, why are you talking so much?"
"Then I'm ready to drive." Hu Xiaoxiao placed both hands on the steering wheel and asked Qi Weiming and Lin Yi, "Uncle Lin, Uncle Qi, have you guys planned the car race scene between Zhao Zhenchuan and Yamamoto Masako?"
"How do we need to design the car race? Just follow the camera and shoot it." Qi Weiming said.
"If you two uncles are out of inspiration, you can look for it now."
After saying that, Hu Xiaoxiao stepped on the accelerator.
