Berson Manor
"Thank you!" Shen Xiu didn't expect that the hotel service booked by the crew was so good. Not only did they help him find a hot pot restaurant, but they also provided pick-up and drop-off. Shen Xiu was so happy that his tone couldn't help but become heavier.
"Mr. Shen, you are too polite. These are what we should do." Although Shen Xiu's expression was indifferent and distant, cold and polite politeness was always better than arrogance, and the smile at the front desk deepened.
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Shen. I will contact the driver for you."
Shen Xiu responded gratefully in his heart: “Okay.”
After saying this, Shen Xiu thought about the questioning of eight friends that he would have to face alone later, and looked at the booklet on the table, and said shamelessly: "This, can you lend it to me?"
Upon hearing this, the receptionist nodded without hesitation: "Of course, this is a list of restaurants around our hotel, specially for guests who inquire."
In a five-star hotel like theirs, there are a few special guests. Although they are rare, they do exist and the front desk is very skilled in handling them.
Shen Xiu thanked him and took the booklet in his hand.
In order to avoid embarrassing the other party by being present when the other party called, Shen Xiu lowered his head and opened the booklet, pretending to read it.
In less than ten seconds, the front desk hung up the phone and looked at Shen Xiu with a smile: “Mr. Shen, please wait outside the door for a while with your friends, the car will be here soon.”
“Enjoy your meal with your friends.”
Hearing this, Shen Xiu breathed a sigh of relief: “Thank you, goodbye.”
"You're welcome~"
The few people standing at the entrance of the hotel saw Shen Xiu walking towards them with an indifferent expression and a cold aura, and couldn't help but speak in a low voice.
"Although I think I'm already very handsome, but if I cover Captain Xiu's face, I still think Captain Xiu is so handsome just based on his outfit!"
"Damn it, it's just a simple piece of clothing, why does it look completely different on Captain Xiu and on others!"
"It's hard not to be handsome with the bossy aura emanating from his bones."
"Now that you mention it, it seems like that. The clothes are the same, but the aura can't be the same. Shang Yu is also wearing a cashmere coat with a turtleneck sweater. Shang Yu looks so gentle with a smile on his face."
Shang Yu didn't expect the topic to be about himself. He looked at Song Chengwang with a fake smile and said, "Hasn't anyone told you that you can't talk about others in front of them?"
Song Chengwang shrugged: "What a coincidence, I like to open up in person."
Xiang Yueting rubbed his hands and looked at Chen Xiu. He didn't quite understand why everyone was discussing clothing, so he pulled the topic back: "Does it matter what you wear? Is being handsome important in front of eating? The important thing is that Team Xiu got the booklet, and our hot pot restaurant is secure. I want to eat extra spicy!"
Zhuang Yi thought about how long Shen Xiu stayed, and murmured to himself in confusion: “But, does it take that long to get a booklet?”
Xiang Yueting heard Zhuang Yi's words and said hurriedly, "Yes, it is indeed a little long. What is the repair team doing?"
Xia Wenhao glanced at Yue Ting speechlessly and tightened the scarf around his neck: "This is not simple. Captain Xiu must have asked other questions. Do you think Captain Xiu is you? You act on impulse and dare to call us without considering anything. If I hadn't seen Captain Xiu standing behind you, I would have dragged you into the room for a PK."
"Tsk." Song Chengwang said to Xia Wenhao, "Shouldn't we just put him in a sack and drag him in and beat him without saying anything?"
Xia Wenhao humbly accepted Song Chengwang's advice: "I've learned it, and I'll put it into practice next time."
Xiang Yueting: “???”
"Does anyone care whether I live or die?"
"No."
“No hahahaha”
"Poor baby~"
Through the glass, Shen Xiu saw the happy expressions on everyone's faces and heard everyone's cheerful laughter. He paused for a second, then quickened his pace and walked out the door.
Although he didn't know why everyone suddenly burst into laughter, it didn't matter.
The important thing is, after spending so much time together, he found that he could stand between them without affecting their happiness.
When Shen Xiu was a few steps away from the group, he heard their curious questions.
"How about it?"
"Where is it nearby?"
Shang Yu and Song Chengwang also asked. Although it was not their first time to come to Yicheng, when they came, they were always accompanied by people. No matter what they did, they did not need to use their brains. Everything was arranged for them by others.
Xia Wenhao and Jiang Yanxi had been to Yicheng several times, but neither of them had stayed in this five-star hotel. They really had no idea where to eat, drink and have fun nearby.
Shen Xiu waited patiently for everyone to finish speaking before speaking: “There are several hot pot restaurants up there. I don’t know which one you like, but you can choose one. The hotel provides us with a pick-up service.”
Xiang Yueting just took the booklet from Shen Xiu's hand, and heard the last sentence behind him, and was shocked: "Free pick-up service?! This hotel service is too good!"
After hearing Chen Xiu's answer, except for Xiang Yueting who was still confused, the others looked at each other and tacitly did not ask any more questions.
Shen Xiu agreed with Xiang Yueting's words very much, nodded and said: "Well, it's really good."
The other seven people: ...Captain Xiu dotes on Xiang Yueting too much. He knew that what Xiang Yueting said was stupid, but he didn't refute it and just praised Xiang Yueting.
It turns out that there is some truth to the saying that fools have good fortune!
As soon as Shen Xiu finished speaking, a long black sedan stopped not far from them.
Several people saw a man in a suit and gloves get out of the passenger seat and run towards them.
Wu Heng walked up to the group with a smile on his face and said, "Hello everyone, I'm the person responsible for picking you up this time. You can just call me Wu Heng."
After speaking, Wu Heng looked at Shen Xiu and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Shen, the car has arrived, shall we get in now?"
The snow is not heavy now, just a few scattered flakes. If they fall and touch people or other objects on the ground, they will melt and disappear in an instant. But according to the weather forecast, there may be heavy snow later. Wu Heng thinks they should get in the car as soon as possible.
Everyone clearly noticed that Wu Heng’s attitude towards Shen Xiu was different, and they subconsciously looked at Shen Xiu.
As the person who went to communicate just now, Shen Xiu subconsciously thought that he was the person responsible for the trip of his friends. He did not find it strange to see Wu Heng asking him and his friends looking at him.
Response: "Well, get in the car now, thank you."
Wu Heng smiled and said, "You're welcome. It's my duty. Please follow me."
After saying this, Wu Heng walked in front to lead the way.
As the captain and person in charge of the inquiry, Shen Xiu forced himself to walk behind Wu Heng.
Ning Sinian and the others followed behind Shen Xiu, and seeing how calmly Shen Xiu spoke to Wuhen, they became more certain of their previous guess.
Xiang Yueting walked behind Shen Xiu, flipping through the booklet and looking carefully as he walked: "Ah, this... I didn't know until I saw it, I was shocked. There are actually five hot pot restaurants. Which one should I go to?"
"Tsk, as an adult, I can't have it all, damn it!"
"Why can't I create a clone and eat five families at once?"
Listening to Xiang Yueting's mumbling, Shen Xiu's tense body slowly relaxed.
The seven people who heard Xiang Yueting's words: "......"
Xiang Yueting, really, they cried to death! 0
The car was some distance away from the hotel entrance just now, but now that it was closer, everyone could finally see clearly what the car that was picking them up looked like.
Seeing the shuttle bus, Shang Yu and Song Chengwang looked at each other and confirmed with their eyes that Chen Xiu was a special client who was even higher than them.
Because when they needed pick-up and drop-off services in the past, they didn't take this type of car.
Xiang Yueting finally took his eyes off the booklet and looked at the car logo in front of him. He doubted his life and blurted out the Internet slang: "Zundu fake du?!"
Zhuang Yi: “…”
Most of the time, he envied Xiang Yueting very much, who was less worried and lived a really easy life!
Xia Wenhao glanced at Xiang Yueting with a slight twitch in the corner of his mouth: "If this isn't nonsense, then what is it?"
Xiang Yueting looked at Xia Wenhao: "Old Xia, since you said so, it seems to be true."
After he finished speaking, Xiang Yueting looked at his friends with a serious expression: "Next time you come to Yicheng to film, you must remember to ask the crew to stay in this hotel!"
Not only can he stay for free by using the crew's money, but he can also borrow a car with a logo that he dare not touch when traveling. In Xiang Yueting's opinion, this is a sure win.
Shen Xiu agreed: "Well, I remember it."
Hearing Shen Xiu's words, Shang Yu took a deep breath and raised his hand to put on Mu Zhenchu's arm: "Help me, my brain is lacking oxygen."
Shang Yu swore that he had never seen someone as tactless as Xiang Yueting in his life!
Xiang Yueting looked at Shang Yu nervously: "Do we need to go to the hospital?"
Xiang Yueting asked what Shen Xiu wanted to say, and Shen Xiu looked at Shang Yu silently.
Business metaphor: "......"
Everyone: “…”
"Ahem." Zhuang Yi suppressed his laughter: "I think, as long as you don't talk, Shang Yu won't need it."
Xia Wenhao spoke so tactfully: "Please, Xiang Yueting, shut up, let's get in the car and eat hot pot."
I'm afraid only food can shut Xiang Yueting's mouth.
Shang Yu took his hand off Mu Zhenchu's arm and said to Xiang Yueting, "I'm fine."
Hearing this, Shen Xiu’s heart was at ease.
Chen Xiu looked at the melting snow falling on everyone, and suspected that it was too cold outside. Shang Yu was too cold to stand, so he reminded him, "Get in the car."
It's warm in the car.
Wu Heng watched everything and thought that what was said on the Internet was true, Shen Xiu and the members of The Galaxy did have a very good relationship.
Hearing Shen Xiu's words, Wu Heng bent down slightly and opened the car door: "Everyone, please get in the car."
"Thank you." Since Shen Xiu was walking behind Wu Heng before, he was naturally closest to the open car door at this moment. He thanked him and bent down to go in.
The rest of the people also got into the car one after another.
Song Chengwang was the last one to get into the car. Wu Heng closed the door, opened the passenger door and got in.
After fastening his seat belt, Wu Heng turned sideways and asked, "Where are you going, everyone?"
As the only person besides Shen Xiu who had read the booklet, Xiang Yueting was entrusted with an important task by everyone.
"Go ahead, Mr. Xiang."
"It was Lao Xiang who originally suggested eating hotpot. Lao Xiang decided."
"Same, it doesn't matter where I eat."
"I'll tell you."
After listening to everyone, Shen Xiu nodded and looked at Xiang Yueting: "Well, you decide."
It doesn’t matter where you go or what you eat, what matters is that you eat together.
Xiang Yueting had already made up his mind when he was reading the booklet. Since everyone said so, Xiang Yueting did not refuse and handed over the folded page of the booklet: "Go to this one."
"Okay." Wu Heng saw the address, told the driver the address, and then returned the booklet to Xiang Yueting.
Half an hour later, in the box.
After all the dishes they ordered were served, Xiang Yueting couldn't help but take a photo, asked everyone, and when everyone had no objection, he posted it on his social account.
@向跃庭: (My first hotpot meal in winter with my friends!) The shuangyan hotpot is my last bit of stubbornness!
[Image x1]
No one else had the habit of taking photos and posting them on Weibo, so Xiang Yueting was the only one who posted the photo of The Galaxy members eating hotpot in Yicheng.
Xiang Yueting was in a hurry to eat and only took one photo. In the photo, there were not only a wide variety of delicious and tempting foods on the rotating round table, but also all the members of The Galaxy sitting around the round table.
The heating was on in the box. After entering, everyone took off their down jackets or coats and only wore sweaters or undershirts underneath.
——Look what good stuff I found! Fresh babies! Ahhh, everyone is so handsome!
——Why doesn’t Xiu look any softer in that sweater? He looks so cold and I really want to rub him. What’s going on? !
——Aren’t you filming today? Dinner party? Why don’t I see other crew members?
——Ahhh, I know this store. I’m going to Yicheng to come across it now! Just wait for me!
——You’re so excited. Is this the point? The point is that it’s not even nine o’clock in the morning and people are already eating hotpot? That's awesome. Who came up with this idea?
——Blind guess: a husky who does not want to reveal his name
The waiters at the hotpot restaurant were just as confused as the fans of The Galaxy members in Xiang Yueting's comment section. After working here for so long, this was the first time they saw someone coming to eat hotpot so early in the morning.
#The Galaxy Wing City#
#Double-boiled Pot#
#The first hot pot in winter#
#Whose good person eats hot pot early in the morning#
At the same time, in the hotel, Xuan Yushu saw the hot topic about The Galaxy eating hot pot in Yicheng, and looked at Lu Wen with praise.
"As much as I hate to admit it, this commercial film was a success from the movie to the casting."
Simply eating hotpot can make it to the collective hot searches, the fans are very loyal, and the movie box office is basically stable.
Lu Wen was speechless: "Can you please stop thinking about the movie box office?"
Xuan Yushu said without hesitation: "Sorry, I can't."
After he finished speaking, Xuan Yushu suddenly remembered that he had not seen Shi Yu come to see him since he woke up this morning, so he asked Lu Wen.
"By the way, where's the old stone man? It's almost noon now, and there's not a single person in sight. He wouldn't have forgotten what I told him, right? There's no news at all. Did he tell you that he has rented the location for tomorrow's filming?"
Unable to borrow one, Xuan Yushu could only use the backup venue.
Xuan Yushu wanted to present the extremely luxurious scenes depicted in Lu Wen's script as perfectly as possible, so first of all, the luxurious tone had to be maintained.
Therefore, the crew of "Storm" plans to borrow the famous multi-billion manor in Yicheng.
The nine main actors were unaware of these things, and they really thought that the crew had deliberately given them a day of rest.
"There is still no news about Lao Shi." When mentioning this, Lu Wen was speechless and shed tears of sympathy for Shi Yu, the producer.
Lu Wen answered Xuan Yushu's questions one by one.
"It's not even ten o'clock yet. You need to be more strict with your time."
"I haven't seen you for so long because Lao Shi received a call from the steward of Bosen Manor early in the morning and left without telling you. I met Jin Can when I came to look for you and heard what Jin Can said."
Shi Yu said he was the producer and the big boss of the crew, but he was Xuan Yushu's junior. Whenever Xuan Yushu came to Yicheng and wanted to temporarily change the filming location, he had to run out.
Although the luxurious scenes in the script were written by Lu Wen, Lu Wen also felt that Xuan Yushu's requirements were really high. Any luxurious villa or manor would be enough. However, Xuan Yushu refused and insisted that the crew communicate with Bosen Manor.
No matter what, although they are both luxurious, their background is different.
Of course he knew that the background was different. Once he appeared in the Bosen Manor, they didn’t need to introduce it in the play. The audience in front of the screen would automatically think that the Han family was the top wealthy family described in the script.
After saying this, Lu Wen was afraid that Xuan Yushu would have too much hope and be disappointed, and that his personal emotions would affect the filming, so he added: "I still say the same thing, don't have too much hope."
Xuan Yushu took a sip of tea and said, "I didn't hold out much hope in the first place. Anyway, it's not a big deal to ask. What if?"
Lu Wen: “….”
This 'one in ten thousand possibility' is even smaller than the chance of Mars hitting the Earth.
At twelve o'clock noon, Shi Yu returned to the hotel and immediately knocked on Xuan Yushu's door.
There were not only people from the director team in the room, but also people from the screenwriter team, looking over the entire room.
Seeing Shi Yu closing the door, Lu Wen spoke before Xuan Yushu: "Old Shi, were you rejected? It doesn't matter if you were rejected, we can just use the backup..."
Shi Yu interrupted Lu Wen: “When did I say I was rejected?”
Xuan Yushu stood up: "The other party agreed!"
Shi Yu smiled and nodded: "Of course!"
"Not only did they agree, they also invited me to have lunch there. I mean, even though the owner of the manor is not here, the manor has been running according to the specifications of an owner. We don't even need to set up the scene, we can use it directly."
"What I didn't expect was that the other party didn't take a penny!"
Shi Yu's face flushed with joy and excitement.
Reuven: “?”
“Is this true or false?”
Everyone else in the room shared the same idea as Reuven. The producer said that the butler of the Bosen Manor agreed to let them borrow the location for filming and that they could use whatever they wanted inside. This was already fake enough, and now he said he wouldn't charge them a penny?
Could it be that the producer encountered a scammer?
After all...how could the steward of the Berson Manor take the initiative to call their small "Storm" crew!
Xuan Yushu also calmed down and looked at his junior fellow apprentice.
"Lao Shi, I won't blame you if you can't borrow it."
Shi Yu sighed, "I knew you didn't believe me!"
Without waiting for others to speak, Shi Yu muttered to himself: "Well, when I received the call from Bosen's housekeeper, I also suspected that I had encountered a scammer."
"Anyway..."
Shi Yu looked at everyone in the room and raised his head confidently: "We will set out from the hotel at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning and arrive at Bosen Manor at about 9 o'clock. Then you will know whether it is true or not."
"......OK."
Anyway, the producer has the final say, so they just have to follow him. If they get kicked out, it will be embarrassing for everyone.
The dinner ended at five o'clock in the afternoon.
The Galaxy members, who played billiards outside for the whole afternoon and had dinner together, had just returned to the hotel when they were informed by Jin Can that they had to gather at 7:30 the next morning, have breakfast together, and then take a bus to Bosen Manor on time at 8 o'clock.
As soon as Jin Can left, the members of The Galaxy who stayed in Xiang Yueting's room started talking at once.
"Berson Manor?"
"Is it the Borsen Manor I know?"
"Is it true that we can film in there? Will the owner agree?"
"Wait, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand you?"
"Shut up, you don't have to understand, just listen."
"All right......"
Shang Yu concluded: "We'll know tomorrow. Maybe the crew can really borrow it."
Chen Xiu also couldn't understand what everyone was saying. He felt that he was the same as Xiang Yueting, who didn't understand anything. He stood silently behind Xiang Yueting, pretending to be the one who didn't understand what they were saying.
The few of them couldn't come to a conclusion after discussing the matter, so they said goodbye and returned to their rooms to rest.
The next day.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the car of "The Storm" crew arrived at Bosen Manor and entered without any obstruction.
When getting off the car, the first thing everyone saw was a man wearing a suit and gloves, with his gray hair combed neatly back, standing not far away, looking at them with a smile on his face.
Seeing the people from the "Storm" crew, Butler Shen walked forward, his eyes quickly passed over Shen Xiu, and his eyes fell on the other people from the "Storm" crew, and he said with a smile: "Hello everyone, my last name is Shen, you can call me Butler Shen."
As the producer who contacted and borrowed the manor, Shi Yu stood in front, “Hello, Steward Shen, I am Shi Yu who is in contact with you.”
"Hello." Butler Shen stretched out his hand, shook hands with Shi Yu, and then let go: "Everyone, follow me."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Shi Yu led everyone to follow Butler Shen.
Looking at the road that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see and the ground exuding the smell of expensive money, Xiang Yueting looked at Chen Xiu who was closest to him. He wanted to say something, but when he saw Chen Xiu's stern profile, he immediately slowed down his steps and walked with Xia Wenhao.
"Old Xia, how big is this?" Here, Xiang Yueting's voice became lower.
Looking at the dreamlike and luxurious manor in front of him, which was so luxurious that even heavy snow could not cover it, Xiang Yueting felt that he was dreaming and dared not even think about it in his dreams.
Xiang Yueting admired Chen Xiu very much. When the Bosen Manor was patrolled by bodyguards in black and they were so nervous that they dared not breathe, Chen Xiu could still walk on the road with a calm face. Unlike him, his legs were weak and his steps were light, as if he was stepping on cotton.
Although Xiang Yueting's voice was soft, after all the crew members of "The Storm" walked into the manor, their breathing became lighter involuntarily and tacitly, and it was hard for Xiang Yueting's voice not to be heard.
Xiang Yueting's words expressed the inner thoughts of most of the crew of "Storm". They also wanted to know how big this was.
Before Xia Wenhao could say anything, an old and gentle voice came: "Six thousand six hundred and sixty square meters."
Xiang Yueting: “!”
Hearing this number, Xiang Yueting's pupils dilated.
He raised his hand with unsteady steps and grabbed the arm of the person next to him: "Captain Xiu, help me, my legs are weak..." It was indeed an existence that he had never dared to dream of!
After being supported, Xiang Yueting swallowed and said, "Captain Xiu, is this true?"
good evening!
