Chapter 46: Meeting Acquaintances (Ch 46)

8pm,

The crew arrived at tonight’s filming location, a bar in Jinling.

The crew first spent half an hour at the entrance of the bar.

We filmed the scene where everyone finished drinking and took a taxi to leave first.

Then, we went into the bar to shoot the last scene of the night.

In the bar,

There were crowds of people, bright lights and wine. Before filming began, the crew had already negotiated with the bar owner.

During the filming period, the business can be operated normally, so that the boss’s business will not be affected.

Secondly, with so many customers acting as extras for free, the crew can save money.

After a simple touch-up of makeup, the five of them sat in the booth and began to rehearse their scenes.

Perhaps because they knew that a film crew was coming to shoot tonight, many customers gathered around the booths.

Out of curiosity, I picked up my phone to shoot a video and posted it on WeChat Moments or Tik Tok.

The crew was obviously not surprised by this and just repeatedly asked everyone to abide by the rules and not shout or yell, so as not to affect the filming.

Soon, everything was ready.

Seeing that everyone looked a little tired, Director Wen clapped his hands to encourage everyone.

“Everyone hold on a little longer. We’ll call it a day after we finish filming this segment. If you want to stay and play, the crew will reimburse you.”

Clap, clap, clap ~ a burst of applause,

“Director Wen is awesome!”

“Director Wen will pay for all the expenses tonight.”

“Yoshi!”

Everyone cheered and made a noise, and Director Wen was so scared that he quickly added,

“Hey, we’ll only reimburse beer and snacks. If you have any unethical purchases, you have to pay for them yourself.”

Hahaha~ Everyone laughed again.

Even the customers watching would smile knowingly after hearing this.

I thought to myself, filming a movie is so interesting, much more fun than slacking off in the office.

“Okay, the whole world is ready!”

The assistant director raised his megaphone and shouted,

The clapboard master hit the clapboard, and after the countdown ended, the fourth scene began filming.

Tonight’s scene is about Cheng Yong bringing a small team to the bar where Liu Sihui works.

We drank and played games and had a lot of fun.

Because before this, apart from Liu Sihui who worked here,

Others don’t have the conditions to spend money in such places.

So, tonight everyone has the mentality of being God.

Just when the few people were having fun, the bar manager came over.

Asking Liu Sihui to go on stage and dance for the guests angered Cheng Yong and several others.

Because they are no longer the lower class people, they are here to be God tonight.

Peng Hao, played by Qi Jia, picked up a wine bottle first, with an attitude of being indifferent to life and death and determined to fight to the death.

Cheng Yong, who has always been treated like a god by leukemia patients, felt that he was offended tonight.

So, he threw three handfuls of money on the table, bending the manager’s straight back.

Let the manager go up and dance instead of Liu Sihui, helping Liu Sihui vent her anger.

Half an hour later,

After three NGs, the scene was passed and everyone re-shot it.

Ten minutes later, with a click from Director Wen, today’s filming mission was finally over.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“Come, let’s celebrate Qi Jia’s first day in the group. It’s a successful conclusion.”

Tan Zhuo raised the wine bottle on the table and said.

Then, everyone raised their wine bottles.

“Thank you, Sister Tan Zhuo.”

Qi Jia was also very happy and showed off one to everyone on the spot.

He didn’t even burp, which made everyone cheer.

“Qi Jia! Qi Jia!”

Just as everyone stood up to leave,

Qi Jia heard someone in the crowd shouting his name.

“Good job, Qi Jia. I didn’t expect you to have fans right after your debut. And from the sound of it, they are all female fans.”

Xu Zheng looked at Qi Jia in surprise and teased him a few times.

“Tsk tsk, seriously, Qi Jia, you’re so handsome, it would be a shame if you didn’t learn to sing and dance rap.”

Tan Zhuo also joined in with a joke.

“Brother Xu Zheng, Sister Tan Zhuo, they are my classmates.”

At this time, Qi Jia also found the person who called his name.

I finally saw clearly after I had lifted the yellow hair covering my eyes.

It turned out that the person who called him was Liu Simeng, the beautiful study committee member of the senior class.

She and a few other girls stood far away from the crowd.

At this moment, seeing that he was looking over, he jumped happily and waved at him.

“Director Wen, I saw a friend. Let me go over and say hello.”

“Go ahead, come back early to remove your makeup.”

Director Wen waved his hand and agreed readily.

Qi Jia took a few quick steps and came to Liu Simeng.

“Si Meng, long time no see, are you coming to the bar with your friends tonight?”

“Oh my god, School Prince Qi, it’s really you! Hahaha, with your killer look, I didn’t dare to recognize you at first!”

Liu Simeng looked Qi Jia up and down carefully and then introduced him to him.

“This is our high school idol, Qi Jia, and these are my college roommates…”

Before she finished speaking, several girls rushed to introduce themselves.

Qi Jia was also polite and responded with a smile.

“Qi Jia, are you a star now? I just saw you filming a movie with Xu Zheng.”

Liu Simeng asked curiously.

“I’m not really a star. I just signed with the company last month. I’m not famous yet.”

Qi Jia did not act smugly, but told the truth.

“Oh, what company did you sign a contract with? Tell me quickly.”

Several girls were curious. When they heard that Qi Jia had signed a contract with Jiaxing Media,

An expression of excitement and shock suddenly appeared on his face.

Jiaxing Media, in the hearts of ordinary people, is a god-like existence.

It has a large number of popular artists including Yang Mi, Reba, Zhu Xudan, Huang Mengying, Zhang Yunlei, etc.

It can be said that this is the company that every girl who dreams of becoming a star dreams of signing with.

“Oh my god! Qi Jia, you are so awesome! You actually signed a contract with Jiaxing!”

Liu Simeng’s eyes were wide open, and he seemed to have not yet recovered from the shock.

“Then can you help me get an autographed photo of Yang Mi? I love her so much.”

Liu Simeng held Qi Jia’s hand, pouted her lips, and acted coquettishly.

“And us, we want it too.”

After hearing this, her roommates also raised their hands.

“No! Do you want mine?”

Qi Jia was afraid that someone would take a photo and post it online, and then he would be criticized when he returned to the company, so he quickly pushed Liu Simeng’s hand away.

“If it’s your photo, it’s not impossible for others to do so.”

Liu Simeng said with a shy look on her face.

“Fuck, Liu Simeng, stop squeezing me. I can’t stand it anymore.”

“I’ll ask for it for you sometime in the future, but not now. I haven’t even met Sister Mi yet.”

“Well, it’s a deal. We’ll contact each other on WeChat then.”

Seeing that Qi Jia agreed, Liu Simeng stopped joking, smiled and stretched out his hand to pat him.

After the two chatted for a few minutes,

Qi Jia had to hurry back to remove her makeup, so she said goodbye in a hurry.

After removing the makeup, Director Wen asked if anyone wanted to stay for a drink.

In addition to a dozen staff members,

The main actors were tired after a day of work and shook their heads, indicating that it was over.

Qi Jia followed the crew’s car back to the hotel and received another call from Chen Yuwen.

She was concerned about whether Qi Jia had any problems on the first day of filming, and Qi Jia said that it was okay and that everyone was very nice.

After chatting for more than half an hour, Chen Yuwen told Qi Jia to rest early and not go out to play.

Then he hung up the phone, and Qi Jia took a hot bath in the bathtub.

He climbed into bed and soon began to snore.
