Chapter 83: Koi Sect That Swept Whole Weibo (1)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
As soon as the Spring Festival was over, the film crew of Orange began to get busy again.
It seemed that Zhao Rui wanted to speed up the filming and finish it in the first month of the lunar calendar. He not only rearranged the schedule, but also hired a few more staffs, which was epoch-making for him.
“Brother Rui, I’d like to ask for a leave tomorrow.” On the evening of the 14th of the first lunar month, after filming the last scene, Yu Qinghuan walked up to Zhao Rui and wiped the mud on his face while saying, “One of my previous endorsed products needs me to retake the pictures.”
Yu Qinghuan received a call from Ada today and it was said that the product had found another spokesperson for their exquisite watches and asked Yu Qinghuan to take some group photos with him.
Although it was just some group photos, it would still take a lot time for two who did not know each other to have a perfect cooperation and produce photos of high quality. Thus, this process may take longer than one day.
Hearing this, Zhao Rui suddenly frowned. One day delay meant more money would be spent. He had to save money to publicize the movie. To be fair, no director would like this.
Just as he was about to ask if Yu Qinghuan’s arrangement could be rescheduled, Yu Qinghuan continued, “Brother Rui, tomorrow is the 15th day of the first lunar month. Everyone wants to go home for family reunion. You might as well give everyone a day off.”
Ever since the New Year’s Eve meal, Yu Qinghuan and Zhao Rui had become much more familiar and they could even play jokes on each other.
He found out Zhao Rui was actually a man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. The reason why he squeezed the time of the cast was to give everyone two days off during the Spring Festival.
However, his harsh words would only offend people. Who would care about his real intention?
Yu Qinghuan gave him a gentle pat on the shoulder and said, “Brother Rui, Ada’s schedule cannot be changed. Please be kind to give me a day off and let everyone rest for a day.”
The filming was already approaching the ending. It was estimated that it would be finished in less than a week. In this case, to let everyone go back on the Lantern Festival for a day’s off was not a big deal.
Zhao Rui was silent for a moment, then gave him a gloomy look, “Do I have other choices?”
Yu Qinghuan was the absolute leading role in this play. If he was absent, the movie had no need to be filmed. Since he wanted a break, it was meaningless for the film crew to stay. Zhao Rui had little space for negotiation.
“Thank you, Brother Rui,” Yu Qinghuan smilingly thanked him and put on the down jacket Yu Xin handed over to him.
“Brother Qinghuan, I…can I go with you?” While Yu Qinghuan was talking to Zhao Rui, Wang Rui Rui kept her ears on one side.
The girl’s deepest fear was the word “vacation”, which meant that she may have to stay alone in the hotel again, or be put somewhere else. She glanced at Yu Qinghuan’s face carefully and finally could not help asking.
To tell the truth, Yu Qinghuan was somewhat embarrassed. Ada’s shooting scene was full of people, and he had a tight schedule tomorrow. Once he started to work,, there would be no time for him to take care of her. It was really inconvenient for him to take her over there.
But when he bowed his head to look at the girl’s big expectant eyes, his refusing words immediately turned into “okay”.
After getting along with her for more than a month, this was the first time that Wang Ruirui had made a request. If he really refused her, she would be even more afraid to express her thoughts to the outside world.
Yu Qinghuan sighed and thought, “Forget it, let Yu Xin take care of her tomorrow.”
The whole film crew had been used to Zhao Rui’s “abuse”. When they suddenly heard there would be a holiday tomorrow, they just thought it was false news. Some even took out their cell phones to see if April Fool’s Day had come.
When the news was confirmed not to be a lie, the cheerful howling immediately resounded through the entire filming site. Within an hour, the shooting scene had already been emptied.
“Zhao Rui is really cruel to his staff,” Yu Xin said. The leaving speed of these people was like fleeing from some plague. Then, he looked at the small face of his artist, thin and sunken, and agreed with his own words all the more.
“Brother Rui has no choice, either,” Yu Qinghuan picked up the talk, and then took Yu Xin back to his little shack.
