Chapter 459: Bringing the Family Back (Ch 459)

At twelve o’clock noon, in a film set of an anti-Japanese drama on Xiangjiang Street in Hengdian,

A small crew is filming a gunfight scene.

After the last shot was finished, the director yelled “Cut,” and the noise of explosions and gunfire on the set stopped.

The staff packed up the machines in an orderly manner and prepared for a lunch break.

The extras who were lying on the ground pretending to be corpses suddenly got up and nimbly ran over to line up for their lunch boxes.

Normally, everyone gets a box lunch, but there is always a chance that someone unscrupulous will deduct the lunch money from the extras.

If you really encounter one, the one who runs slowly will have no food to eat.

Besides, even if you don’t miss out on your own lunch box, if you finish eating early, you can get a good shaded spot and rest for a while longer.

After all, they are not like the leading actors who have RVs rented by the crew and can rest comfortably. As extras, they are thankful if they can pick up a piece of cardboard to use as a mattress.

There are two lines for food.

The long row had dozens of men and women standing there, and more people were constantly joining. This was the group of extras getting their meals. There were two vegetarian dishes and one meat dish, and the portions were pitifully small.

The short one next to it only had seven or eight people.

After those seven or eight people had received their meals, no one else was left. This was the group of young actors, special guests and crew members who were receiving their meals, and the meals were obviously more sumptuous.

As for the main actors, of course they didn’t have to come to get their meals themselves, as their assistants would take them back in advance.

Those who are more particular will bring a nutritionist with them, and the nutritionist will be responsible for their three meals a day. They simply don’t eat the boxed lunches provided by the crew.

Although the two teams were very close to each other, less than the width of a person, even so, the extras still did not dare to cross, as if there was a bottomless abyss in between.

In the queue, several extras who were waiting bored were chatting.

“Hey, have you heard? Qi Jia is coming back to Hengdian.”

“What! Are you talking about that famous star Qi Jia? Is this true? My roommate really likes him. Every day before going out to perform, she prays to him and asks for his blessing.”

“Why did he come back? He’s down and out, and he’s back to be an extra, trying to steal my job?”

“Are you f*cking sick? He’s so popular right now, why would he want to steal your work? He came back this time because he’s going to start filming a new drama in Hengdian.”

“Yes, I heard it’s called ‘Dream Record’. They’re recruiting special agents these days, and a friend of mine was selected.”

“…”

In the group performance room in Hengdian, the name Qi Jia is sometimes more useful than Hua Zi.

Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, as long as Qi Jia was mentioned, everyone would always chat for a few words, so soon several more people joined the chat.

Many people also made an appointment to go to “Dream of Red Mansions” together as extras, just to see Qi Jia up close.

In the middle of the team,

A woman wearing the uniform of a female student from the Republic of China, with a lot of black dust on her face and a lot of sand and dust in her hair, said nothing and listened silently to the discussions of the crowd.

If Qi Jia was here, he would definitely be quite surprised, because this woman was none other than the one who lived in the same room with him.

Wu Xiaoyu, who later found a godfather and then broke up with her boyfriend and moved out, is only one character away from Zhang Ruonan’s assistant, Nie Xiaoyu.

I don’t know what happened? She is now back in Hengdian to be an extra.

And it seems that she is just an ordinary extra, something she would never do before.

At this moment, a voice sounded beside her.

“Xiaoyu, how are you arranging the team for the extras? Come on, there’s no one here, come over here.”

For a moment, many extras looked at her curiously.

“Thank you, Brother Tao. I’m just an extra. I won’t go over.”

Wu Xiaoyu stood there without moving, shook his head expressionlessly, and said,

The person who came was her best friend Sisi’s boyfriend, named Jiang Tao. He was a special guest of the crew, and it was he who introduced her to the crew.

Although the other party had bad intentions and would take advantage of her from time to time,

But this crew had a lot of scenes to shoot, so she didn’t have to worry about not having scenes to shoot for a week, so she had no choice but to endure it.

“Oh, what are you afraid of? It’s just a matter of a word from me. Come here.”

Jiang Tao refused to give in and directly reached out to grab Wu Xiaoyu’s hand and pulled her to his side.

At this moment, a roar of anger was heard.

“Jiang Tao, what do you want to do, you bastard!”

This shout frightened Jiang Tao so much that he trembled all over. He quickly let go of Wu Xiaoyu’s hand, smiled and approached the person, saying flatteringly,

“Honey, why are you here? I’m just following your instructions and taking care of your bestie.”

The person who came was Sisi, Wu Xiaoyu’s best friend and Jiang Tao’s girlfriend whom Qi Jia had met in the bar.

“Oh, really?” Sisi was wearing a red dress, as charming as a fiery red fox.

She crossed her arms, glanced at Wu Xiaoyu warily, then looked at her boyfriend, and sneered, “Could it be that he took care of the bed?”

At this time, the extras in line didn’t care about getting their meals, and they all stood there eating the melons with gusto.

The staff member who was distributing the food did not urge them. Instead, he took out his mobile phone, turned on the camera, and was about to record a video when he was pressed down by a big hand behind him.

Before he could speak, the colleague who stopped him pointed at Sisi and said in a low voice,

“You want to die, do you know who that woman is? She’s Bang’s mistress. If you record it and post it online, will our crew still be able to work?”

“Nephew of the president of the Actors Association? Zhang Shibang?”

“Do you think there will be a second Bangge in Hengdian? Put your phone away immediately!”

Upon hearing this, the staff member who was distributing the food didn’t dare to ask any more questions and hurriedly put the phone back into his trouser pocket.

Feeling the gazes of people watching her, Wu Xiaoyu seemed to recall some bad experience, and felt as if she was being pricked by needles all over her body.

Her face flushed, she took a step forward, took her bestie’s hand, and begged in a low voice,

“Sisi, you misunderstood. Nothing happened between him and me. Please stop talking. Everyone is watching us.”

Jiang Tao also hurried forward, and dragged Sisi out of the studio, saying,

“Honey, let’s talk about it when we get home, okay? What if you make a scene outside and it affects Brother Bang?”

After hearing what her boyfriend said, Sisi suddenly came to her senses and stopped making a fuss. She glared at her boyfriend and said,

“Brother Bang is inviting us to dinner tonight. He asked me to bring Xiaoyu along. Please think of a solution.”

Jiang Tao’s face suddenly turned bitter when he heard this.

“With her personality, what can I do? Last time I used force, she just picked up a knife and fought me to death.”

Sisi felt helpless after hearing this and cursed fiercely,

“She is such a scumbag. She was slapped and humiliated by Mr. Li’s wife in public, but she turned over a new leaf. I don’t know what’s wrong with her.”

After saying that, she suddenly had an idea, took out her cell phone and made a call.

After waiting for a few seconds, the phone was connected and a rough male voice came from the other end.

“What’s up?”

Sisi’s expression immediately changed, she smiled and said delicately,

“Brother Bang, didn’t you want Xiaoyu to drink with you tonight? We called her, but she refused. You know she is stubborn and can’t be forced.

So, I came up with an idea, see if this will work…”

Sisi mumbled a few words to the person on the other end of the phone, and Jiang Tao was secretly shocked when he heard it.

I thought to myself, women are the most vicious. They sold out my best friend with just a few words. I have to stay away from this woman in the future.

Not long after, Sisi hung up the phone and said to Jiang Tao,

“Done, you come along tonight.”

Jiang Tao’s face changed when he heard this, and he said with some resistance,

“I, I won’t go, you guys have fun.”

Sisi glanced at her boyfriend and snorted.

“Bong said that if you’re not watching, he won’t be motivated. If you don’t want to go, just tell him yourself.”

Anger, humiliation, and helplessness flashed across Jiang Tao’s face. He only felt a burst of vitality above his head, as if spring had arrived. Two seconds later, he smiled and nodded and said,

“Of course I am willing to go after I finish work.”

“Lung fog”

Sisi uttered two words, then turned around without looking back, twisted her waist and left the set.
