Rebirth on the Doors to the Civil Affairs Bureau

C27 Another Sea of Flowers

Outside the city.

After parking her car, Yu Dong started to walk towards the building as she chatted with Xia Feng on her phone.

"Have you arrived?"

"Just arrived!" Xia Feng looked at his watch and said, "You must've missed breakfast again, go and eat quickly."

"I ate breakfast today." Yu Dong smiled and said, "Now I'm on my way to talk to a film crew member about some things."

"Oh, in that film and TV studio in the suburbs?" Xia Feng asked.

"Yeah!"

"Then didn't you need to wake up early to get there at this time?" Xia Feng was worried. "If you don't get enough sleep, you end up groggy and inattentive. You shouldn't be driving."

"How can that be? Even if you wake up groggy, after washing your face with cold water you can be lively again." Yu Dong was disgruntled as she continued, "I'm the chief negotiator of our company, you're acting like I'm some sleepy child."

"Alright, you're the best!" Xia Feng could only laugh.

"Why does it sound like you're just humoring me." Yu Dong grumbled.

"I'm not saying anything. Oh, the Director is here."

"Go on then!"

"Bye-bye."

Yu Dong was in a good mood as she ended the call, and approached the familiar crew of Director Liu.

"Hello, Manager Yu." It was Assistant Director Wang Xin who greeted Yu Dong.

"Director Want, is Director Liu here? I brought a sample of the dubbing that he requested." Because Director Liu's requirements for the dubbing were particularly high, even after the contract was signed Director Liu still insisted on supervising the dubbing, hence the request for today's samples.

"Director Liu is visiting the crew next door." Director Wang said.

"Then I'll wait for him here." Yu Dong said.

"Director Liu might not come back in a while." Director Wang shook his head as he laughed, "It's Director Zhao's crew next door. They end up talking for hours whenever they meet."

"Is that so?" Yu Dong asked, "Then can I go look for him directly?"

"Yes," Director Wang said. "If you want. I can take you there after I finish."

Yu Dong looked at the busy crew and finally shook her head and replied: "No, no need to trouble yourself. I can go on my own."

"OK, then be careful!" Director Wang warned her.

"Eh?" Yu Dong was puzzled, what should she be careful of.

"Director Zhao is currently shooting a suspense show. It's supposed to be about the rise of sadistic killers, so there's a lot of graphic scenes that are currently being shot. A few female assistants got really frightened." Director Wang explained.

"Oh, I see. I'll be careful, thank you." Yu Dong replied.

Although the set was just next door, it was still quite far; Yu Dong had to walk 10 minutes to reach it.

When she arrived at the entrance, she saw several women huddling near the trash cans, pale-faced.

"Excuse me, is Director Liu in here?" Yu Dong asked a staff member standing nearby.

"Yes."

"May I go in?" Yu Dong asked.

The staff member glanced at Yu Dong and hesitated, saying: "The scene they're shooting right now is rather frightening, I can go call him out for you instead."
