behave in a spoiled manner
"Lin Jingming, have you ever had such an experience?" Xia Zhitang's smile was extremely bitter. "You saw the ending much earlier than others, but others couldn't understand what you saw and thought."
She put the milk cup on the table, and the milk sloshed onto the table, soaking the tablecloth.
"Sometimes I feel very lonely. Even if I see the truth, I have no one to tell it to. Even if I know the ending, others will say I am overthinking it."
Lin Jingming took a tissue and wiped away the milk stains on the table: "You see the problem between you and him, but you also know that speaking out won't change anything."
He crumpled up the soiled tissue and threw it into the trash can on the table. "The differences in thinking between people are enormous. Your experience and your talent are the best artistic abilities."
Lin Jingming looked at Xia Zhitang tenderly: "It is also an extremely lonely talent."
Xia Zhitang inexplicably felt that Lin Jingming understood her worries and hesitations.
"We still have a week left." She touched her belly. "Even if we see it, many things still can't be changed. Sometimes individual abilities can't change much in the face of major trends."
Just like when she stayed at Wang Jiajia's house to escape, she was easily found, and even Jiajia's occupation was discovered.
"But individual efforts are not in vain. The existence of Xiao Qingmiao is still a secret." Lin Jingming encouraged Xia Zhitang.
"Do you think I'm being pretentious?" Xia Zhitang said with a sad look on his face. "Zi'an is a good match no matter how you look at him, and yet..."
"Silly boy, why do you care about what other people do?" Lin Jingming touched the top of Xia Zhitang's head. "Just do what you want to do. You are Xia Zhitang. Only you know whether you are happy or not."
Xia Zhitang's eyes were filled with tears: "Let's go, board the plane."
No matter how many setbacks life throws at you, the most important thing is to do the things at hand well.
Summer vacation has arrived, and the teachers and students of the school are on vacation. The assistant has arrived early, rented a car and went to the county to pick up the people in batches according to the plan.
When Xia Zhitang and Lin Jingming landed, they happened to meet Principal Wang and Erniu, who were from the first batch of supplementary enrollment.
They sat in the screening room and showed them the revised film.
Principal Wang wiped his tear-stained glasses and said, "Thank you for capturing everyone's shining points."
"We are just recording their wonderful stories truthfully." Lin Jingming responded modestly.
"Am I going to be on TV?" Only then did Erniu have a more intuitive and substantial experience of the camera crew's filming.
"Not only will it be on TV, but it will also be on the big screen." Lin Jingming added with some pride.
He has already started discussing the subsequent publicity and broadcasting platform qualifications. Cheng Shubai is also using the channel of a certain theme event. The initial feedback is that the higher-ups are very interested in this film.
"Wow, I'm going to be famous!" Erniu grinned happily.
"Even if you're on TV, you still have to take the college entrance exam. Getting good grades and choosing a good major are the serious things." Principal Wang couldn't help but admonish Erniu, looking at her silly look. "Fame or fortune, in the end, they're not as valuable as the skills you earn through hard work. No one can take those away."
Xia Zhitang also agreed with Principal Wang's words: "Participating in the filming just adds another life experience."
"I see. I'm just a little happy." Erniu nodded, pinching her face with a silly smile, "It really feels like a dream."
Xia Zhitang and Lin Jingming divided the work and were responsible for the communication before recording.
I spent the whole night revising the written commentary into a manuscript that was more in line with my personal tone and closer to reality.
It was almost ten o'clock when we finished all this, and the assistant was responsible for sending Principal Wang and the others back.
Lin Jingming and Xia Zhitang couldn't rest yet. They checked the revised manuscript again, decided on the order of tomorrow's recording and the editing precautions that needed to be adjusted later, and then finished their work for the day.
"Hey, have you taken folic acid and calcium tablets?" Lin Jingming remembered that he had not seen Xia Zhitang take supplements today, and couldn't help but remind her.
Xia Zhitang was so busy that he had forgotten about this matter long ago.
"Why don't you set an alarm to remind yourself?"
Lin Jingming watched her take out several large bottles of supplements from her pocket and thought about buying her some refill boxes, like the ones in the hospital, so that they could be divided into portions for easy carrying.
Although the script had been adjusted the day before, recording the dubbing by an amateur was not easy.
Repeat over and over again, adjust the tone and emotion, and adjust the manuscript from time to time.
Basically, when one person gets tired of recording and perhaps needs to pause and adjust, another person will take over the recording.
Xia Zhitang and Lin Jingming were both very busy, basically following up on a process respectively.
We recorded from early in the morning until seven or eight in the evening, and took turns emptying our lunch boxes for lunch and dinner.
When Lin Jingming listened to the last audio and nodded in approval, Erniu was no longer as excited as she was at the beginning.
"I understand now. I understand why you all told me not to go filming." After a long day of recording, his throat was dry, and even reading the manuscript felt dizzy and difficult to decipher. He slumped over the table, like a flower bud drained of moisture.
"You're great. Director Lin has high standards, and anyone who can handle them is truly amazing." Xia Zhitang handed a bottle of milk to Erniu. "When he asked me to do the dubbing, he scolded me and made me cry."
"Teacher Lin, you are too naive." Erniu drank milk weakly.
"A good work cannot have any shortcomings. Every aspect must be polished with care." Lin Jingming checked his watch and looked at Xia Zhitang, "Remember to take your medicine."
After everyone had a rest and some midnight snack, Lin Jingming exchanged glances with Xia Zhitang.
Xia Zhitang understood and pulled out a stack of contract documents from his bag. He then pulled out a folder and handed it to Principal Wang. "This is a personal gift from Director Lin and me."
Then she handed the rest of the contract to Principal Wang and said, "After the film is released, I will reserve a portion of the profits to donate to the girls' high school."
Principal Wang looked at the contract, then at Lin Jingming and Xia Zhitang: "Thank you for the trouble along the way."
She bowed solemnly to the two of them and said, "Thank you on behalf of the children."
Principal Wang's voice was a little choked. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand and signed quickly.
After both parties have signed, they each keep the contract.
Principal Wang calmed down and went forward to hug Xia Zhitang: "You are all good people."
"Come on." Xia Zhitang felt that the best support was donation, and words became pale at this moment.
After the assistant sent the person away, everyone else also left.
Xia Zhitang officially finished the whole day's work only after he reviewed tomorrow's dubbing process with Lin Jingming.
The two walked in a quiet little town. The street lights emitted an orange light. There were few pedestrians on the road, and not even many cars.
In the low-rise residential buildings, only a few houses had dim lights, and the street shops were closing.
In the distance, the barking of security dogs can be heard from time to time, forming a sharp contrast with the hustle and bustle of Taipei City.
Lin Jingming looked at his watch and saw it was almost 11 o'clock. He couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, you can only eat now and you are still working so hard."
"I'm in good shape now." Xia Zhitang suddenly pointed to the sky, "Look, you can see Libra from here!"
"I'll take you to the wild to use an astronomical telescope if I have the chance." Lin Jingming looked at her profile. "I recently got a new set of equipment."
Xia Zhitang recalled the first time they met by chance in Tibet. Lin Jingming said he would take her to see Saturn, but he ended up making her so sleepy that she still wasn't feeling well.
"Your skill isn't to look at the stars for a minute and adjust the equipment for two hours, right?" She giggled.
"Beautiful things require a little patience." Lin Jingming tapped her forehead lightly with his finger.
The two of them were playing and joking as they passed a snack stand that was closing. Xia Zhitang looked at the skewers on the plate and swallowed.
"Boss, can you bake another one?" Xia Zhitang asked loudly.
"Sure, sure! What do you want to eat?" The boss immediately wiped his hands, hunched over and ran over to serve the two of them, "Sit here."
"It's already this late, and these greasy foods are hard to digest." Lin Jingming frowned and whispered in Xia Zhitang's ear.
"Just a few bites."
Xia Zhitang's voice was so soft that Lin Jingming's heart trembled slightly.
But she didn't notice the look in Lin Jingming's eyes as he was choosing the skewers.
"Lin Jingming, what do you want to eat?" Xia Zhitang asked while putting skewers into the iron basin.
Lin Jingming looked at her excited expression and couldn't bear to nag her any further.
"Give me the leftovers." He added, somewhat worriedly, "Just take a few bites of each!"
Xia Zhitang looked at him in disbelief and added two more varieties to the basin.
Various vegetarian dishes and meat skewers make a pleasant sizzling sound when roasted over charcoal fire, and the boss skillfully adds various seasonings on top.
"Boss, don't add chili." Lin Jingming saw the boss about to grab the red seasoning and quickly stopped him.
He turned his head to look at Xia Zhitang who was about to open his mouth: "Don't struggle, or I will help you eat it all."
"You're so annoying!" Xia Zhitang slapped Lin Jingming on the arm angrily.
"When have I ever cared about you like this before?" Lin Jingming coaxed her gently, "Now that hormones are affecting your body, you must control them. Otherwise, gaining weight will be bad for your health."
"I just want to eat!" Xia Zhitang felt very aggrieved.
"I didn't say you can't eat it. Just have a few bites to satisfy your craving." Lin Jingming sighed, "I'll take you to eat delicious food when we get back to Taipei."
Xia Zhitang still looked unhappy, so Lin Jingming promised, "I'll have someone buy you some fresh fruit tomorrow. I heard there's fresh milk here, so I asked the studio owner to pick some up for you."
The two of them chatted in whispers again, and the snack bar owner held up a basin and brought up the grilled skewers.
He looked at the two people who were still bickering and smiled innocently: "You two have such a good relationship."
