Chapter 156 Zhuang Fengyin is afraid of dogs
"Hey, Zhou Dachuan, I remember someone said your sister is an undertaker, right?"
Zhou Dachuan's face darkened. He knew that Zhou Wanzhou's job would bring ugly rumors to the family.
The colleague didn't seem to notice that he looked unhappy. Instead, he patted his shoulder and said, "I recently watched the movie 'Departures'. I think your sister is really amazing. She is engaged in a very sacred profession."
Another colleague in the office heard the topic of interest and joined in the conversation, "Did you go to see it too?"
"I went there. Fortunately, I listened to you and brought extra tissues. I didn't feel anything when I was watching. But when I came out and saw the people selling candied haws, I couldn't help crying because my grandfather loved making candied haws for me when he was alive."
"Who doesn't? I thought of my mom as soon as I left the cinema. This movie is really meaningful. I took my daughter to the theater with me. When I came out of the theater, she saw me crying and told me not to be sad."
"She said she would always remember my mom like I did, and would tell her children about my mom's existence. As long as we keep remembering my mom, she will not disappear."
"I burst into tears when I heard these words. My daughter always liked to walk in front of me and skip around. I told her to watch out for cars so many times, but she always ignored me. This time, she was very obedient. She held my hand without my reminder and told me to be safe and live a long life."
"Really? Then I'll take my son to watch it again. My niece also watched the movie. She also wants to take the exam to become a mortician, but I don't think it's possible."
"This position is government-funded, has a staffing structure, and has certain academic requirements. If she wants to pass with her score, she'll have to be very lucky."
Zhou Dachuan listened to everyone's discussion with a puzzled look on his face. They didn't say that before. He asked tentatively, "Didn't you think that the profession of undertaker was weird and disgusting?"
The colleague who tapped him on the shoulder replied, "You said it was before. Before, we didn't understand this profession, so we always had prejudices. Now that we understand the content and significance of his work, we think this profession is sacred."
"And after learning how difficult it is to take this exam, I think your sister is really amazing."
"I saw a video shot by those girls before, and there was a mortician as a guest. Now netizens are digging up that episode again, saying that she is the most beautiful mortician."
Zhou Dachuan also watched this video. Somehow, he suddenly said, "She is my sister."
"Hahahaha, Dachuan, you can't just claim to be your relative just because she has the same last name as you. You don't look like her at all, okay?" said the colleague who was sitting there with a sarcastic smile.
"She is really my sister!" Zhou Dachuan originally wanted to draw a clear line between himself and Zhou Wanzhou, but after his colleague said this, he wanted to prove it.
"Let me show you our family photo."
This photo was taken when Zhou Wanzhou was in college. At that time, her family went to see her, and she lied to them that they were not allowed to enter the school, so they took the photo at the school gate.
After he took out the photo, everyone in the office gathered around.
"Fuck, you guys really are a family, but you look so different."
One is bright and mature, the other is ordinary with a beer belly.
Zhou Dachuan rolled his eyes speechlessly, "My sister looks like my grandmother, and I look like my parents."
Who knows how Zhou Wanzhou chose her genes? She didn't inherit any of her parents' inferior genes.
When he got home from get off work in the evening, he hesitated for a long time downstairs, but still opened his mobile phone to buy four movie tickets. He wanted to see how good the movie that they praised so much was, and how it could actually change people's prejudice against the profession of undertaker.
…
Zhou Wanzhou hadn't received a call from home for a long time. Looking at the word "Mom" jumping on the screen,
She took a deep breath and answered the phone.
"Xiao Zhou, if you have a day off recently, come home and have dinner with us."
Hearing her mother's voice on the phone becoming as gentle as before, Zhou Wanzhou suddenly felt a lump in her throat.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and said, "Okay."
After the call ended, she sent Su Zi a message with only two words: Thank you.
Su Zi, who was furious, didn't pay any attention to the message alert on his mobile phone.
Today we were filming a jungle exercise scene, which took two days to shoot. Everything went smoothly in the beginning, but when it came to filming the military dog scene, it turned out that Zhuang Fengyin, who played Li Erniu, was afraid of dogs and he couldn't get over this.
"Forget it, let's use a substitute." Su Zi was the one who was most opposed to using a substitute, and he didn't have a good face towards Zhuang Fengyin.
When the complete script was given to him, it included scenes of interacting with military dogs. The script was given to him a month ago, and it has been so long since the filming started, but he has not said a word.
When asked to get familiar with the military dog first, he found excuses to shirk his responsibility.
If he hadn't played the silly image of Erniu so well before, just based on this point, she would have replaced him without paying the penalty.
"What's wrong with you? Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were afraid of dogs? If you had told me earlier, the script could have been changed earlier." Pan Qingchen, who played Wang Yanbing, had no idea what Zhuang Fengyin was thinking.
Zhuang Fengyin looked at Su Zi's back as he left angrily, his eyes slightly lowered: It's because I have less roles than you.
This is Li Erniu's highlight scene. How could he give it up? What's wrong with using a stand-in?
He thought so in his heart, but his face looked aggrieved, "I thought I could overcome it."
Deng Yancheng and Pan Qingchen sighed at the same time. During these days of filming, they also saw how serious Su Zi was in directing. It took two days to shoot this scene alone, and Zhuang Fengyin begged Su Zi to give her another chance every time.
After Su Zi gave him opportunities, he wasted them again and again. No wonder Su Zi was angry.
Ni Ruoan glanced at Zhuang Fengyin and chased after him.
"Don't be angry, there's nothing we can do if he's afraid of dogs."
"Am I angry at him for being afraid of dogs? I'm angry at him for being scheming in important matters!" After his anger faded away, Su Zi thought about it carefully and understood what Zhuang Fengyin was planning.
"You mean he did it on purpose?"
"It's just an ordinary drama, he can do whatever he wants, as long as it doesn't affect the effect. We have reminded everyone the significance of this drama, but he is still selfish. Ha, stand-in, I will just delete his scenes. An An, notify everyone to call it a day and rest today. No more filming. I will go back to revise the script."
Wang Yanbing was born in the market, so it’s reasonable for him to be close to dogs!
Seeing Su Zi so angry, Ni Ruoan became even more dissatisfied with Zhuang Fengyin.
When she returned to inform Su Zi that the script was going to be changed, she clearly saw Zhuang Fengyin's expression suddenly turn ugly.
"Director Ni, how does Director Su plan to change the script?" he couldn't help but ask.
"I'm not sure. Let's pack up and call it a day. We'll continue shooting tomorrow."
Zhuang Fengyin had a bad feeling.
