Chapter 1599: Chapter 1459: The Director Returns
Group blind date is sothing that should seriously be discussed with Secretary Xiaozu, after all, there are quite a few singles on Song Tan’s farm.
But with the film crew arriving these days, there have been so instructions from the city, and she’s busy settling things both here and there. Even the enticing lamb stew doesn’t call people back, so Song Tan just noted it down for now.
anwhile, the producer, director, a few assistant directors, and the main mbers of the crew have already driven over with equipnt, coming in a grand procession.
Because it’s an Immortal Martial Arts Drama, their costus, props, and equipnt couldn’t even fit in several cars, and they’ll still need logistics later. But now they’re here to check out the environnt, and everyone shows not a hint of reluctance.
— Are you kidding! They previously camped out in the film and television city trying to snag goods during live streams without success. Now they’re heading straight to the source, surely they can’t miss out on tasting so food!
Their film crew recently brought in a new actor, known to co from a family with an acting background, and brought significant investnts upon joining. The director is now so buoyant he practically glides while walking, filled with ambition!
Not to ntion, as a director, is it too much to ask for a decent al?
The village is quiet; the executive producer looks at each house’s closed portals and mutters in the car, "So few people, it feels rather eerie."
An assistant director with a rural background laughs at him, "Spring is the busy farming season; you think everyone’s lounging at ho like lazy folks?"
"Look into the fields; there must be a lot of people there."
Several individuals instinctively look toward the fields on the other side, seeing vast swathes of wild grass growing tall, deep, and dense. The wind sweeps through like waves of wheat, leaves flipping and swaying, a lush, magnificent sight, but no farrs working.
"..."
Assistant Director: "..."
"Up the mountain! They’re definitely up the mountain! Besides, doesn’t this land look like the storyboards drawn by our director? Didn’t he say he rented large plots here? How would people work otherwise?"
The group starts chatting loudly, while the director, focused on his phone, suddenly says, "Check the group chat."
"Which group?"
Everyone instinctively asks while simultaneously reaching for their phones, skimming through so pinned chats and finding the keywords—
Zhan Xin: [Ugh, they ate beef the day before! Yesterday they slaughtered a sheep and drank lamb stew!]
Chu Yu: [Yet I’m still eating boiled eggs! Director! Must I really lose more weight? ??_??]
Actually, the director’s original words were that the two needed their muscles to be more toned and firm, but the agent feared they’d look bulky onscreen, so they ordered them to lose about 5 more pounds.
Now, these two lads were once satisfied eating these high-priced ingredients, yet Lu Jingye leisurely returns with a full stomach, even carefully editing tempting nine-photo grid images in her friend circle...
Late at night, the two lads drool until their pillows are damp, dreaming of holding a bowl of lamb stew and slurping it down.
Looking at not putting in more effort, the lamb might get divided up soon. They couldn’t take it and started venting in the group chat.
These dialogues stirred the director and the crew, already with no appetite after a long day, into feeling famished at once. They recalled the taste of those good items they once fought for, and now imagined the fresh beef and lamb, causing their saliva to start secreting uncontrollably, their eyes looking hopefully at the director—
"Would they be willing for us to drop by for a al?"
The director feels bitter inside!
"Not willing! Last ti they made
eat at the cafeteria!"
"Let’s pay for it, we’ve got that big investnt, and the investors have raised our al standards, not freeloading!"
The director sighs, "Are they short on money?"
Once he says this, the car falls silent at once.
As to whether they are short or not, they can’t decide for now and drive with the GPS straight to the guesthouse.
The producer steps out of the car on arrival, instantly delighted by the whimsical fairytale aura of the colorful mushroom guesthouse:
"It’s perfect! Perfect! For filming a relationship reality show, or modern romance scenes, what a great place!"
Swings, floral corridors, vibrant designs, vines growing on room walls!
Bathed in sunlight, everything is unbelievably beautiful.
The producer is the biggest in the group; if he says filming is a go, the director naturally won’t argue, especially since it’s unexpectedly pretty here. The vast floral landscapes in front are such dreamy existences that he doesn’t even want to go near with the car, fearing that being too close might affect the entire atmosphere.
Lu Jingye hears the commotion, puts down her spoon, and quickly greets, "Oh, our guests have arrived!"
The paynt for the booking has already been transferred to Song Tan, and seeing paying custors Lu Jingye is very friendly: "Right now, only two actors are staying here, so there are many room styles from which we can freely choose."
Anyway, it’s all covered!
She enthusiastically asks, "Want milk tea? I didn’t expect you to arrive so early, if you do want, I’ll brew another pot—oh, by the way, there’s extra milk delivered today, would you like so baked egg tarts?"
For custors who generously book rooms, Lu Jingye is not stingy when it cos to desserts.
A bunch of middle-aged n and won around forty try to politely refuse: "Thank you, we’re avoiding sweets..."
Before finishing their sentence, they see Zhan Xin and Chu Yu, in whom the crew pinned high hopes, rushing downstairs, holding large thermos cups:
"Boss! We’ll have so! Just pour us so! Leave the cups here, don’t let the assistant catch us!"
"And we want egg tarts too! Boss, just place them here, we’ll sneak them—Hey Director, did you guys arrive so soon?"
The director frowns, "Be mindful of your diet, don’t look uneven on cara..."
Upon hearing this, the two actors pull a long face together.
After a while, they shakily raise their hands: "We’ll eat and drink now, and join the security guard’s run in the village tomorrow morning...okay?"
This plea is so humble!
The director thinks, it’s still new actors that listen to advice!
He takes a more serious look at their faces, noticing that besides sohow seeming healthy with rosy lips and white teeth, everything else doesn’t look much different from before; instead, their energy levels have improved quite a bit.
Besides, he’s just a director, not an agent; ntioning it once is enough.
So he nods.
Lu Jingye looks closely at their waists, realizing that these young people’s waists aren’t much thicker than hers. Oh dear, she indeed needs to slim down!
But these egg tart crusts are handmade butter puff pastry purchased online, and the milk inside is the one Chen Chi just delivered this morning!
It’s been sitting in the oven for a while now, and that rich, sweet milk aroma is gradually filling the air; to not taste them, wouldn’t that be too much?
She sniffs the air and vows to only have one later.
