Chapter 372 The Troublemaker
Yuan An'er, who was behind, reacted quickly and immediately took two steps forward to support the unstable Xiong Caiwei, preventing her from falling.
"Who is so immoral?" The crew members were furious and cursed at the person who threw the firecrackers.
On the side of the road, there were a few gangsters with weirdly dyed hair standing there. They were holding a string of firecrackers in their hands. They took one apart, lit it with a lighter, and threw it at the three girls.
Xiong Caiwei was so scared that she hid behind Yuan An'er, who glared at them: "What kind of man is it to bully a woman? Come and fight me if you have the guts."
When those gangsters heard this, they didn't feel ashamed. Instead, they laughed and talked about all kinds of nonsense, which made the three girls very angry.
Assistant Director Shen Chunming came out and went to deal with him. When he came back, his face looked a little bad.
Jia Zhendong asked: "Who are they? Are they deliberately looking for trouble?"
Shen Chunming said: "This territory belongs to the Yihai Gang, so it should be someone from the Yihai Gang."
"Yi Hai Gang? Doesn't the Yi Hai Gang have a good relationship with Sister Xiao? Why are people from the Yi Hai Gang also trying to embarrass us?" Jia Zhendong asked in surprise.
Shen Chunming shook his head. "I don't know either. How's your filming going? Let's finish it quickly and leave. If you keep filming, I'm afraid they'll come and collect protection money like the Changxing Society."
Because there weren't many scenes in this shot, there were few people from the crew, and Guo Bin, who was supposed to help keep the crew together, didn't show up either.
I thought nothing would happen again once I left the Changxing Society's territory, but I didn't expect to run into trouble again.
Jia Zhendong thought for a moment and said, "This shot only lasts one or two seconds. In order to edit out those one or two seconds to look good, I shot a clip of more than ten seconds. After editing, it will be enough."
Since the filming was complete, they didn't linger any longer and packed up their things to leave.
The gangsters were a little disappointed to see them leave so quickly.
Afterwards, Shen Chunming called back to the company and asked a few security guards to come and calm the situation.
I don’t know if it was because there was someone keeping the situation under control, but the photos taken at the next three scenic spots went smoothly and no one came to cause trouble.
After finishing today's scenes, there are only two groups left for tomorrow's scenes.
The next afternoon, the crew arrived at the last attraction, which was a square. The three girls had two shots in this square.
After changing into their first look, director Jia Zhendong rehearsed the scene, again requiring them to approach from the front. Xiong Caiwei playfully teased Yilan and then ran away, while Yuan An'er and Yilan chased after her. At this point, the photographer, chasing them, caught sight of a street sign, which blocked the camera. After passing the sign, the three girls changed into another playful look.
"I understand!" Xiong Caiwei and the other two nodded in unison, then found their positions and waited for the director to call action.
“Action!”
Three girls dressed in youthful and fashionable clothes walked over confidently. Then Xiong Caiwei teased Yilan and ran forward laughing, out of the camera.
Yuan An'er and Yilan chased after him and got out of the camera.
The three girls worked on the plot for two days and became very proficient at it, getting through the shot in one take.
Just as the three girls were applauding for passing the test, a string of firecrackers was suddenly thrown at them. The bang bang bang sound scared them and they screamed.
The noise here was so loud that not only the entire crew was startled, but even passers-by passing by the square were startled.
After Hu Xiaoxiao finished some final work in the recording studio in the morning, he saw that he was free in the afternoon, so he simply drove over to the crew to check on the filming situation.
As they approached the square, Hu Xiaoxiao spotted the filming crew from afar. She was driving her car, looking for a place to park. At that moment, she saw two motorcycles carrying a few gangsters parked next to the crew. They lit a string of firecrackers and threw them at Xiong Caiwei and the other two girls, laughing wickedly.
Hu Xiaoxiao was furious. Without even looking for a place to park, he stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the two motorcycles.
There was a loud bang.
The gangsters didn't laugh for long before they were hit by a car and fell down. They got up and were about to curse when they saw Hu Xiaoxiao driving the car and running over them. They were so scared that they ran away with their hands and feet, fearing that if they ran too slowly, their hands and feet would be crushed.
Several security guards who came to the crew today to maintain order ran over and took the opportunity to capture them and tied their hands and feet.
Hu Xiaoxiao opened the car door and walked out. She first looked at Xiong Caiwei and the other two and asked, "Are you injured?"
Xiong Caiwei was so frightened that she was stunned. Not even her foundation could hide the paleness of her face. Seeing Hu Xiaoxiao was like seeing her backbone. Her eyes suddenly reddened and she couldn't help but cry. "Principal, they are so mean. They always come to scare people. I was almost scared to death."
Hu Xiaoxiao sensed something was wrong. "Do they always come to scare you? Apart from today, when have they ever scared you?"
Yilan complained, "Yesterday! Yesterday in front of the Baogang Opera House, they scared us with firecrackers and threw them at Caiwei, almost injuring her."
"Why didn't anyone tell me about this?" Hu Xiaoxiao turned his gaze to Jia Zhendong and others.
Jia Zhendong smiled wryly and said, "We called a few security guards over yesterday, and the subsequent filming went smoothly without disturbing Sister Xiao. It's inevitable to encounter such incidents while filming."
"I don't care about other people's affairs, but I will never allow my people to be bullied." Hu Xiaoxiao first comforted the three girls, then came to the gangsters and looked at them with a cold face.
Several gangsters were pinned to the ground by security guards, showing no fear. They even shouted arrogantly, "You'd better let us go and apologize to us, otherwise our boss won't let you go. Do you know which gang we are from? Do you want to die if you dare to arrest us? Let go! Let go of your hands!"
"Which club are you from?" Hu Xiaoxiao asked. She wanted to know which club was so reckless as to cause trouble for her.
"We are from the Yi Hai Gang! You are filming here without paying your protection fee. You are clearly looking down on us, the Yi Hai Gang. We are just trying to teach you a lesson."
Hu Xiaoxiao asked, "When did this square become the territory of your Yi Hai Gang?"
"Just got it last month!"
Hu Xiaoxiao looked at the leading security captain, who nodded and said, "Luo Sheng has taken over a property next door, and this piece of land has been temporarily taken over by the Yi Hai Gang."
Hu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the gangsters, and he said coldly, "Does Luo Cheng know that you are here to collect protection money?"
"Luo Sheng is a man of great importance, not of small matters. Regardless of whether it's a major or minor matter, it's not your turn to intervene. Just pay the full protection fee and be sensible, so as not to bring shame to both families."
Hu Xiaoxiao sneered. "She can't do anything about it?" Even if she can't do anything about today's matter, she has to intervene!
