Storm Roadshow 2
Bang!
Shen Xiu had just stopped the car a second ago and looked towards the traffic light in front of him that was counting down.
A second later, I heard a bang from behind, followed by the vibration of the car body.
Shen Xiu: “…”
Including this time, he has driven three times since leaving the driving school. Every time he drove very carefully, he never expected that while waiting for a traffic light, he would encounter the legendary rear-end collision.
The first thought that flashed through Shen Xiu's mind when he was hit was - fortunately, he didn't rear-end someone else, to round it off, there was nothing wrong with his driving!
Chen Xiu glanced at the time and saw that the countdown at the traffic light ahead had just ended, so traffic could resume as normal.
Shen Xiu stopped the car and ended the drive.
The system saw that the car could not continue to drive, at least not now, and said to Shen Xiu with suppressed joy: [The car is broken, it's time to go back to Yulin Banxia and get another car! 】
There are so many cars on the underground second floor, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple...
All colors are available!
It just didn't understand. When Chen Xiu bought it, he clearly said that he bought it because he liked it and that his aesthetic taste was consistent with itss.
Now he only drives this black car. A man's heart is like a needle in the sea!
Although…it’s the most expensive.
But it still cannot cover up the fact that it is black. It would be great to drive a colorful and brightly colored sports car!
System: [To be honest, you can drive any car on the basement level. It’s my treat!] 】
Shen Xiu once said that Chinese is profound and extensive, and the three words "I invite you" have different meanings.
What it said is indeed correct, it all depends on how Shen Xiu understands it now.
Hearing this, Shen Xiu said faintly: “…Sure enough, they are all yours.”
He said that except for the existence of the system which possesses super powers beyond the dimension of their world, no one would put the car keys in a box on the roof of the car.
But the system didn't say anything, so Chen Xiu just pretended that he didn't know.
But——Thinking of the condition of the car on the underground second floor, Shen Xiu couldn't help but lean back, frowning slightly.
The system saw that Chen Xiu hesitated because of the color, and then used another killer move: [Could it be that you want to go back on your word, saying that you would drive yourself, but you didn’t drive, or take a taxi, or let the crew’s car pick you up? 】
Chen Xiu made a decisive choice without hesitation for a second: "I'll go back and drive a new one!"
He said he couldn't do it, and he refused to let the crew see it!
"System, thank you!"
System: [No need! 】It’s really unnecessary!
The owner of the car that rear-ended Shen's car turned pale when he saw what car he had hit. He almost died. His hands holding the steering wheel were shaking, and he muttered to himself: "It's over, it's over..."
The passengers in the car did not expect that they would witness the taxi crashing into a top luxury car.
The passenger was afraid that something might happen to him, so he reminded the taxi driver, whose hands were shaking: "Well, stop the car and call the police first."
"......Okay." The driver took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the fear in his heart. He didn't dare to touch the steering wheel or brake again, for fear that he would accidentally mistake the accelerator for the brake in a tense situation, which would make the situation even worse.
The doors opened and the passengers checked out and got off.
The taxi driver hurriedly took out items from the trunk and stood in front and behind the accident scene to alert passing vehicles that an accident had occurred to avoid a second rear-end collision.
Before the passenger took another taxi to leave, he saw the distance between the taxi he had taken and the black luxury car in front, and silently worried for the driver.
Not to mention the driver, if it were him, the next time they saw each other, he would have to stay more than 500 meters away to be safe.
In order not to delay the roadshow, Shen Xiu just wanted to resolve the matter quickly, so he called the insurance company and the traffic police immediately.
Chen Xiu had just finished his call when he caught a glimpse of a figure swaying near the driver's window. He subconsciously lowered the window.
You can't see inside the car window from the outside, but Shen Xiu can see outside the window while sitting in the car.
As the car window slowly lowered, the driver saw the handsome but stern man with a strong aura sitting in the car, and he couldn't help but swallow nervously.
"Hello."
After he finished speaking with his mind buzzing, the driver realized that he had stuttered and looked at Shen Xiu with an embarrassed expression.
Shen Xiu put away his phone: "Hello."
This was the first time Shen Xiu had dealt with something like this, and without any experience he couldn't help but feel nervous.
After saying hello, Shen Xiu realized that it didn’t seem right to talk while someone else was standing outside the car window while he was sitting in the car.
Shen Xiu took his phone, stood up, opened the driver's door, and got out of the car.
The driver saw Shen Xiu getting out of the car and subconsciously took two steps back.
The next moment, seeing the taller man with a more powerful aura in front of him, the driver said: "......"
When he was sitting in the car, he knew that the people in the car were tall, but... he didn't know they were that tall!
Facing Shen Xiu, the driver, who was already nervous, became even more frightened.
I had prepared an apology before, but now that I was standing in front of Shen Xiu, I was so nervous that I almost forgot it.
Especially since the man in front of him had an expressionless face, pursed his lips and stared at him silently, which made his scalp tingle and he felt like he was suffocating.
Shen Xiu: “…”
It's awkward enough for strangers to stare at each other face to face, and now the stranger in front of you is the one who rear-ended you, which makes it doubly awkward.
So…what exactly should he say at this point?
Countless topics went through Shen Xiu's mind countless times, and Shen Xiu found that his best choice was to wait for the other party to speak first.
After being nervous for a while, the driver calmed down and apologized to Shen Xiu: "Yes, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I have called the police and caused you trouble. I...I'm sorry."
If it was an ordinary car, the quickest way to resolve the problem would be to settle it privately. However, if it was a top-of-the-line luxury car, the driver wouldn't dare to ask for a private settlement.
When he got out of the car just now, he took a look at the place where he hit the other car. He knew very well that even if the other party would not ask for an exorbitant price, he could not afford the normal repair price.
Especially when the person in front of him was a few steps away, he felt a chill all over his body and was not someone to be trifled with.
After listening to the driver's words, Shen Xiu took the opportunity to continue: "Well, I also called the police."
As soon as Shen Xiu finished speaking, the traffic policeman had already parked his bike next to the accident scene, got off the bike and asked the two people: "Were you the two who called the police?"
In order to avoid the embarrassing face-to-face situation with each other, both Shen Xiu and the driver looked at the traffic police and responded almost at the same time.
Shen Xiu: “Yeah.”
Driver: “Yes, yes, it’s us…”
Although the place where the rear-end collision took place was at a traffic light, it was already dark and the pedestrian crossing was illuminated by not very bright lights. Apart from the cars coming and going, there were not many people crossing the zebra crossing.
Therefore, no one watched.
But even so, Shen Xiu couldn't help but feel nervous when facing the traffic police.
While the traffic police were looking around the accident scene, people from the insurance company had also hurried over.
Manager Wu from the insurance company got out of the car and trotted towards Shen Xiu with his beer belly.
The voice came before the person arrived: "Mr. Shen, hello, hello, I'm here, I'm here!"
"Sorry to have kept you waiting!" Manager Wu stood in front of Shen Xiu. Knowing that Shen Xiu didn't like others touching him, and also because of Shen Xiu's expressionless face, he didn't extend his hand to shake hands with Shen Xiu, but only greeted him verbally.
Seeing the people from the insurance company, Shen Xiu's nervousness was relieved.
Chen Xiu: "Hello, Manager Wu, I'm sorry to bother you with the matter here."
When calling Manager Wu, Shen Xiu thought that he might stutter if he communicated with Manager Wu face to face.
Therefore, I had already told Manager Wu on the phone that I would leave early and let the insurance company handle the rear-end collision on my behalf.
Manager Wu heard this and said hurriedly: "Mr. Shen, what are you talking about? This is our job. There is no trouble or no trouble. You are too polite!"
Manager Wu, who is always good at socializing, was also very uncomfortable facing Shen Xiu. He always felt a lot of pressure. He wanted to let Shen Xiu leave first, but was afraid that Shen Xiu would misunderstand that he was chasing him away. He only dared to greet him verbally and did not dare to mention the matter of letting Shen Xiu leave.
When Shen Xiu heard what Manager Wu said, he said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Without waiting for Manager Wu to speak, Shen Xiu said again: “If you have anything, call me.”
Manager Wu nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, Mr. Shen, take care!"
"Well, bye."
"Goodbye Mr. Shen!"
Getting a "goodbye" from Manager Wu meant that this social conversation had come to a perfect end for Shen Xiu. Shen Xiu didn't dare to stay for even a second and raised his hand to hail a taxi.
After getting in the car, Chen Xiu followed the decision he had made the moment he rear-ended the car and said to the driver, "Go to Yulin Banxia, thank you."
When the driver who rear-ended the car saw Shen Xiu leaving, he, like Manager Wu, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, feeling that there was no lack of oxygen in the air.
The driver regained his talkative appearance, strode towards the insurance company's Manager Wu, took out a cigarette and said, "Hello, Manager Wu, hello..."
Chen Xiu returned to Yulin Banxia and entered the second basement floor again.
Knowing that all cars are equipped with systems, Chen Xiu walked past the cars of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple... without hesitation, and accurately opened the door of a high-grade gray car.
system:【......】
As expected of Chen Xiu, the first most expensive car was gone, so he chose the second most expensive one. The price difference between the two cars was less than one million!
This is not the point. The point is that, no matter before or now, these two cars are the only two cars in the entire garage that it has never praised as beautiful!
System: [......] They were just praised by it for being pretty and handsome, what's wrong with that?
It suspected that Shen Xiu was targeting it, but it had no evidence!
Shen Xiu got in the car, afraid that the system would ask him to change it, and drove out of the garage without hesitation.
Although these two cars are not as low-key as the previous black one, the gray one is indeed a little brighter than the black one, but it is still much more low-key than other conspicuous chartered cars in the garage.
The time they arrived at the destination was the same as the time Shen Xiu had calculated when the rear-end collision occurred. It was not more than a minute or a second longer, but three minutes earlier.
Jin Can waited in the parking lot five minutes in advance, but he never saw the black luxury car that Shen Xiu had driven twice and had been on the hot search for two days.
Seeing that Shen Xiu had driven the car twice in a row, Jin Can subconsciously thought that Shen Xiu liked that car and would drive it over this time as well.
But the agreed time is almost here, why hasn’t the car arrived yet?
Just as he finished thinking this, Jin Can saw a top-of-the-line luxury car that looked very high-end and luxurious in color and shape driving in.
"Oh shit!" Jin Can couldn't help but exclaim, and quickly took out his cell phone, raised it and secretly took a photo of the car logo.
But...how did the car end up parked in the parking space that the mall had arranged for Shen Xiu?
Jin Can was afraid that he would not entertain Shen Xiu well, so he quickly put away his phone, not bothering to continue taking pictures, and walked quickly to where the car was parked.
Jin Can nervously organized his words in his mind, but when he saw the car door open and saw who got off, the words he was ready to communicate got stuck in his throat. He looked surprised and his mouth slightly opened: "Mr. Shen?!"
Shen Xiu: "...It's me."
Have you changed? Why does Jin Can look like he doesn’t recognize me after not seeing me for a while?
Only when Shen Xiu's familiar and indifferent voice reached his ears did Jin Can come to his senses.
Jin Can quickly stepped aside, the surprise on his face disappeared, and he returned to the warm smile that was familiar to Shen Xiu.
"Mr. Shen, please follow me. I will take you to do your makeup. The members of The Galaxy have already arrived..."
After the first advance screening in cinemas, all the actors will face media interviews with the director and editor, and answer questions from the audience who were invited to watch the advance screening.
Shen Xiu nodded: "Yeah."
Jin Can, who was walking in front, sighed in his heart - he was too narrow-minded!
This is Shen Xiu!
Shen Xiu is an indifferent person who doesn't care about material things at all.
What do you like and dislike? It doesn't matter at all!
When Chen Xiu drove the black luxury car twice before, there was definitely no trace of personal emotion involved.
Shen Xiu must have completely forgotten that he had already opened the fire twice.
After all...in Shen Xiu's eyes, this gray luxury car in front of him was almost as expensive as the previous one.
“It’s here.” Jin Can took Shen Xiu to a door, raised his hand and knocked on the door, then gently pushed it open: “Mr. Shen, please come in.”
"Thank you." Shen Xiu thanked Jin Can for opening the door for him and walked into the room...
"Team Repair!"
"The repair team is here!"
"Captain Xiu, take a quick look at me. Have I lost weight? Is there a big difference from when I was filming?"
"Hahaha Zhuang Yi, that's enough. Even if you are thin now, you are still fat in the movie. The script is original. The audience probably thinks you gained weight for acting."
"I'm not, don't talk nonsense."
"Team Xiu, sit here!"
"You've turned bad, Nian Nian, you sneaked in while we were talking and brought Captain Xiu to you!"
Shang Yu, who had been silent the whole time, could no longer bear it: "Xiang Yueting, stop using random words. If someone hears you, some marketing account might say you are illiterate."
Xiang Yueting said awkwardly: "Okay..."
Shen Xiu, who was sitting next to Ning Sinian, listened to his friend's voice. While his body relaxed, he couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy in his heart.
Jin Can closed the door, blocking out the sound from inside.
After closing the door, Jin Can was no longer as reserved as he was in front of Shen Xiu before, and rushed to his little friend.
"I'll tell you something new. Chen Xiu changed his car today and is now in the underground garage!"
“While Shen Xiu is not here, let’s go down and take a look!”
"Walk!"
An hour later, the advance screening began.
As one of the members of the main cast, Shen Xiu, Xuan Yushu, Lu Wen and others sat in the front row.
Behind them were a small number of invited film critics and media personnel and the majority of lucky audience members who were randomly selected.
Two hours later, the first broadcast of "The Storm" ended.
When Shen Xiu was acting in "Xian Journey", during the broadcast of "Xian Journey", he also followed the drama and watched the role he played.
But at that time, he was alone with Lucky, and he didn't feel awkward watching the character he played in the play.
Now, he was sitting among the audience, watching the play he performed with a large group of people. Shen Xiu found that he was not as embarrassed as he had imagined, but just felt a little strange.
That kind of strangeness comes from being unfamiliar.
When the last subtitle disappeared from the big screen in front, the audience's excited discussions were heard.
"Is this really their first time acting? Why are their performances all above the passing line?"
"I finally understand what a true visual feast is! Whether it's Amara, Wing City, or Kena Island, they are all so beautiful! They match the people in them so well, especially the snow scene. Every frame can really be captured and used as a screen saver wallpaper!"
"Whether it's Han Fei's cold smile or the tear before his death, Master Xiu's acting skills are simply amazing! He is worthy of being Master Xiu. No matter what he does, no matter where he is, he strives to do his best!"
"Han Fei's home is in the Bosen Manor? Am I seeing that right? But according to rumors, the owner of the Bosen Manor rarely shows up. Is the Bosen Manor never rented out? Does the Storm crew have such a big reputation?"
"It's not just the Burson Manor. If you look closely at the cruise ship in Manjira's sea scenes, many of the yachts photographed at sea have the word 'SX' on them. I strongly suspect that the director deliberately edited in the bloopers, so... everything has a traceable path!"
"Fuck, I think you're telling the truth!"
"How can I put it? As expected of Xuan Yushu, the camera language is really cool. In just two hours of the movie, he was almost always showing off his skills. It completely broke my perception of commercial films!"
"Ahhh, they are sitting right in front. Damn, why am I so far away? I really want to run to them and see what their expressions are like right now!"
"Although the subject matter is really a good commercial film, but... will there be a second one? No, should I say there will be one, two, three, four, five... N parts? If it can always maintain this level, I am willing to keep paying for it!"
The Galaxy members who were sitting in the front row remained seated quietly without moving until the director called them to the stage. At the moment when the first screening of the film ended, everyone remained silent and listened attentively to the discussion of "Storm" by the audience behind them.
I heard everyone discussing the filming location, scenes, techniques, acting skills, and even the bloopers of "The Storm".
Xuan Yushu saw that the time had come. The screen in front of him showing the movie turned into a poster of the movie "Storm". The lights on the stage lit up, and the host walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage to interact with the audience.
After the host interacted with the audience for about a minute and made some jokes about the movie, he followed the procedure and looked at the "Storm" crew members sitting in the first row of the stage.
“Without further ado, let’s welcome the chief director Xuan Yushu, chief screenwriter Lu Wen, and our nine leading actors from the “Storm” crew, as well as all the members of The Galaxy, to the stage to tell everyone the story behind the creation of “Storm”!”
Pah pah pah......
Amid enthusiastic applause from the audience, the crew of "The Storm" came on stage.
Walking in the front were Xuan Yushu and Lu Wen, followed by the members of The Galaxy.
As the captain of The Galaxy, Shen Xiu subconsciously walked at the back.
When everyone lined up to walk onto the stage, Chen Xiu didn't need to look up, he could see the seats in front at a glance.
Shen Xiu thought silently in his heart that according to this movement, it should not be a problem for him to sit on the edge.
Perfect!
In order to focus the audience's attention on the creative team of "The Storm" on the stage, the crew of "The Storm" and the cinema discussed that when the creative team goes on stage, a soft light will be sprinkled from above their heads, covering all the actors.
The moment he was enveloped by the lights in the center of the stage, before Shen Xiu had time to sit in his desired seat, he heard Xuan Yushu's voice.
“Chen Xiu, you and Shang Yu sit on my left and right.”
Although this is an original script written by Lu Wen based on The Galaxy, and the roles are actually similar, Han Fei played by Shen Xiu and Zhou Yanlin played by Shang Yu are still the core characters of "Storm", and Xuan Yushu thinks that the two of them should sit next to him.
Shen Xiu, who was glad that he was walking behind, said: "...Okay."
Too careless!
Indeed, one should not be happy too early!
Chen Xiu walked to the side of Xuan Yushu, and after seeing Xuan Yushu sit down, he sat down too.
After sitting down, the host noticed that the seats were a bit far apart and easily exposed to the light, so he whispered, "Can you adjust the seats?"
The crew of "The Storm" had no problem at all and quickly moved their own chairs and adjusted their seats.
After the adjustment, Shen Xiu was in a good mood when he saw Mu Zhenchu who was very close to him.
Being so close to my friends, I feel safe!
system:【......】
If it remembered correctly, Chen Xiu didn't dare to get too close to them before, but now that they were close, how come he felt 'safe'?
Oh, fickle man!
After everyone was seated, the host chatted with the chief director Xuan Yushu and the chief screenwriter Lu Wen as usual, and then turned the questions to the leading actors.
The host held the card in his hand and scanned the leading actors one by one with a smile on his face, saying with a smile: "Don't be nervous, these are just some questions from netizens."
"So... may I ask you guys, what was it like when you were filming at Bosson Manor?"
Before anyone could say anything, the host looked at Shen Xiu and said, “Let’s start with your team Xiu from The Galaxy.”
"Captain Xiu, how do you feel?"
good evening!
