More than three hours passed quickly.
Tan Yue gently patted the sleeping Chen Ziyu: "Tzuyu, we have arrived in Qiong Province."
Chen Ziyu rubbed her eyes and looked out the window. The plane had landed smoothly. She stretched and said, "Okay, let's go."
The five people got off the plane and had put on their hats, sunglasses, and masks again.
After coming out of the exit, Tan Yue saw someone holding a sign at the door to pick him up.
"Mr. Tan, this is the vehicle prepared for you in advance."
Before departure, all work in Qiong Province has been arranged in advance.
The five people followed the pick-up person to an MPV.
Tan Yue said: "Thank you for your hard work."
The person who picked up the plane put the suitcases of five people in the trunk.
"It's all as it should be, Mr. Tan. I'm going to the dock first. You guys should be careful on the way."
"Okay, please pay attention to safety on the road."
Five people sat in the car, Ma Guoliang took on the important role of driver, and Jiao Cheng sat in the passenger seat.
There is still some distance from the airport in Qiong Province to the pier.
The purpose of their trip was to have fun, so they could enjoy the scenery on the road.
"It's the same as when we came last year. There are almost no changes." Xin Zhi looked at the scenery outside the car window and remembered the scene when he first came to Qiong Province.
Ma Guoliang nodded and said: "In the blink of an eye, it has been one year since I first came to this place. Time flies so fast."
The filming ceremony for "The Truman Show" was held on July 1 last year.
Chen Ziyu came to Qiong Province for the first time. The scenery outside the window was very attractive to her. She pointed to the scenery outside the window and shared her happiness with Tan Yue.
Ma Guoliang deliberately slowed down the car and headed towards the dock while chatting.
Nearly an hour later, an MPV appeared on the dock.
The person who had just been picked up at the airport had been waiting on the pier for a while. There were several other people around him, including the drivers of five buses.
The car contained gifts worth nearly one million from Chen Ziyu.
"Master Li, there is nothing wrong with everything in the car, right?"
Several people stood together smoking cigarettes and chatting.
"Our brothers are all experienced drivers, so we can rest assured."
Master Li who spoke is the leader of this team.
"Mr. Tan and the others are here."
Several people moved almost in unison and smoked the remaining half of the cigarette in one breath.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Tan, this is Master Li, and their fleet is responsible for delivering gifts."
"Hello, Master Li!" Tan Yue stretched out his hand.
"Hello, Mr. Tan!" Master Li looked very familiar with the person called Mr. Tan in front of him, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
Master Li has been driving sports cars for decades and doesn’t know much about celebrities.
Under the guidance of Master Li, I looked at the gifts in the car and made sure there were no problems.
Tan Yue said: "Let's arrange to get on the ferry."
"Okay." The person who picked up the plane turned around and said, "Master Li, get on the ferry."
Tan Yue returned to the MPV and joked: "Teacher Ma, wait for the car and drive directly to the ferry. Don't be nervous."
Several people laughed.
Ma Guoliang, who has been driving for more than ten years, is more or less excited when he drives a car on a boat for the first time.
Under the arrangement of the crew, Ma Guoliang followed the car in front and boarded the ferry. He suddenly felt a little shaking and subconsciously clenched the steering wheel with his hands.
The five buses boarded the ferry smoothly.
Half an hour later, as the ferry honked, it set off for Taoyuan Island.
The ferry does not only go to Taoyuan Island, there are many cars on the boat.
In order to ensure safety, people in the car are not allowed to get off the car casually. Of course, the driver with the best view is the driver of the big car.
Master Li often drives in this area, and this is not his first time driving on the ferry. His expression is very calm.
He suddenly patted his thigh.
My wife, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Master Li said: "I said this Mr. Tan looks so familiar. Isn't he the famous Tan Yue?"
The wife looked a little confused: "I don't know."
"In this case, you can check on your mobile phone to see if this Tan is Tan Yue?"
The wife searched for Tan Yue's photo on her mobile phone: "Look, is it him?"
Tan Yue was wearing sunglasses at the time, and Master Li couldn't be sure for a while: "Let's wait until we get to Taoyuan Island and ask if we can take a photo, and then ask my daughter."
within mpv.
"How do you feel? Teacher Ma." Jiao Cheng, the co-pilot, noticed that Ma Guoliang seemed a little nervous, so talking could divert his attention.
"It feels really different."
People who drove their cars onto the ferry for the first time felt an indescribable excitement in their hearts.
The first time they landed on Taoyuan Island was on a small ship, which was different from this time.
"Mr. Chen, we can see many islands on our way to Taoyuan Island, but most of them are uninhabited." Xin Zhi consciously acted as a tour guide and introduced the surrounding situation.
Tan Yue looked through the car window and saw a group of sailors chatting together outside.
After living on the ship for a long time, the skin of several people showed dark colors, and their faces looked tired and vicissitudes of life.
Taoyuan Island was just passing by, and they didn't know how long this trip to sea would take.
While talking, Taoyuan Island gradually appeared in the field of vision.
Xin Zhi pointed to the distance: "Look at Mr. Chen, that small island is Taoyuan Island."
"It's finally almost here."
When Tan Yue saw Taoyuan Island, many scenes from last year came to mind.
Now that "The Truman Show" has officially been released, and it has achieved such good results, it is worthy of the efforts of so many people.
The ferry drove on the sea for another half an hour, gradually approaching the shore.
The area where Tan Yue's vehicles were located was heading to Taoyuan Island. Under the guidance of the sailors, cars got off the ferry one after another.
Ma Guoliang drove the car carefully, and felt much more at ease the moment he returned to land.
After the five buses got off, the ferry made a long beep and headed to the next destination.
As an isolated island, Taoyuan Island is passed by a large ferry once a day.
The pier was already bustling with activity, and Village Chief Liu brought people out to greet them early.
Seeing several cars getting off the ferry, Village Chief Liu kept looking for Tan Yue.
The popularity of "The Truman Show" has not completely subsided. At this time, there are still many tourists coming to Taoyuan Island to check in.
Visitors who came to Taoyuan Island for the first time looked at the bustling pier and couldn't help but feel a little doubtful: The welcoming party was too big!
"Where's Director Tan? Why didn't I see him?"
"Is this the ferry he took?"
"Why are there so many cars coming down? What are these buses for?"
Listening to the chatter of the people next to him, Village Chief Liu said angrily: "Director Tan said to drive over here. This large ferry passed by today, and of course it was on this boat. Which car should it be in? Keep your eyes open and take a good look. .”
Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted: "Village chief, look, look, Director Tan is there."
Everyone looked in the direction of this person's finger.
"Let's go." Village Chief Liu and a group of people rushed over eagerly.
"Director Tan, long time no see!"
"Village Chief Liu, long time no see!"
The two men held hands together.
Village Chief Liu said excitedly: "You can count on us to have a great benefactor in our village."
In just two months, Taoyuan Island’s passenger flow was more than the previous six months combined.
Taoyuan Island itself has a very beautiful environment, but it just lacks publicity.
The success of "The Truman Show" just fills this gap.
The arrival of a large number of tourists will naturally drive economic development, and the income of local villagers has increased significantly.
That's why Tan Yue is called the 'Benefactor'.
"I dare not take it seriously. Your environment is beautiful!" Tan Yue introduced: "This is Village Chief Liu on Taoyuan Island."
Chen Ziyu said: "Village Chief Liu, hello!"
"This is Mr. Chen Ziyu of our company."
"Mr. Chen, hello!"
Ma Guoliang, Xin Zhi, and Jiao Cheng are very familiar with Village Chief Liu. They even had dinner together and they all know each other.
Village Chief Liu said: "Let's enter the village, everyone is waiting for you!"
The pier is very close to the village, and the car arrived at the entrance of the village in ten minutes.
"I finally saw this place with my own eyes." Chen Ziyu saw the photos and felt like a paradise after seeing it with her own eyes.
Many villagers gathered around and talked to Tan Yue, Ma Guoliang and others.
Many of the villagers have worked as extras in the film crew.
In the end, it was village chief Liu's persuasion that allowed some distance between the villagers and Tan Yue.
Village Chief Liu said: "Everyone, please be quiet. Director Tan came over during his busy schedule and asked him to say a few words to all of us."
I don't know who shouted "OK", and there was warm applause.
Tan Yue shouted loudly: "Long time no see, everyone!"
"haven't seen you for a long time!"
"Hello, Mr. Tan!"
Tan Yue continued with a smile: "Village Chief Liu called me several times and invited me to come back again. The development of Taoyuan Island today has nothing to do with me. I just helped you promote it. In turn, I would like to thank you, many of you helped our crew during the filming of the movie."
Tan Yue pointed to the bus behind him: "To thank everyone, I have prepared a gift for each of you on the bus. I hope you like it."
There was another round of applause.
"Village Chief Liu, find someone to share the gifts with everyone."
Village Chief Liu said embarrassedly: "We invited you to come for dinner today, but we didn't expect that we would ask you to spend money to buy things."
"this is what we are supposed to do."
Village Chief Liu stopped being pretentious and arranged for people to distribute gifts to the villagers. Then he took Tan Yue and others to his home.
It's already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and several people haven't had lunch yet.
Village Chief Liu said: "Director Tan, let's eat at my house today. It's all homemade food. I hope you don't mind."
"We're just here to eat your local specialties."
After a few people sat down, delicious dishes were served.
Tan Yue said: "This fish is what I cooked for you that day, so you can feel the local taste."
Chen Ziyu took a bite and nodded: "It is indeed fresh and delicious."
Village Chief Liu introduced: "All the seafood and fish today were just caught from the sea. This was Director Tan's favorite dish when he was filming a movie."
Speaking of this matter, the entire crew will eat it almost every once in a while, and the entire crew is full of praise for this dish.
"It still tastes the same as before! It's delicious!" Tan Yue tasted it carefully.
In such an occasion, wine is indispensable, and what is on the table is the Taoyuan wine that Ma Guoliang has missed for a long time.
】
Taoyuan wine is a local specialty wine. It is not mass-produced and is difficult to buy outside.
Village Chief Liu said: "Teacher Ma, you don't have a job now, so just go ahead and drink today."
There was laughter at the wine table.
Ma Guoliang picked up his wine glass and drank with everyone.
After more than an hour, the meal ended.
Under the leadership of Village Chief Liu, everyone entered the hotel and arranged their accommodation.
"Director Tan, please rest first, we won't disturb you." Village Chief Liu led the people out of the hotel.
Tan Yue said: "Everyone has worked hard today. Let's rest in the hotel first. We will go out in the evening."
Everyone nodded.
Among the others, Ma Guoliang drank the most, but he was not drunk yet. Drinking outside is not like staying drunk with Zhou Can and Xu Nuo.
Tan Yue sent Chen Ziyu back to his room. After returning to his room, he lay down and fell asleep not long after.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already dark outside. After a brief wash, he went to Chen Ziyu's room.
Chen Ziyu had already taken a shower and changed clothes.
"Let's go outside and take a look. The scenery on the island is beautiful in the evening, with the sea breeze blowing and the temperature not too high."
Chen Ziyu stretched and said, "Okay!"
The two people came out of the hotel holding hands.
"The island has changed quite a lot during this time."
With the sharp increase in passenger flow, many places on the island have undergone earth-shaking changes from before.
Among them, the most obvious change is naturally that some of the places where the scenes were shot at that time have now become places where tourists check in.
"Look, that house is Truman's home."
Chen Ziyu sighed: "There are so many people at the door!"
This house was originally a house borrowed from villagers on the island. With the popularity of "The Truman Show", the villagers vacated the house for tourists to take photos and check in.
As Tan Yue walked, he chatted with Chen Ziyu about some interesting things while filming.
Unknowingly, the two of them walked to the beach, and the sea breeze blew by, bringing a bit of coolness.
"It's so comfortable!" Chen Ziyu opened her arms and felt the sea breeze.
Tan Yue took out his mobile phone, stood behind Chen Ziyu, and took a photo against the last ray of sunset.
"It looks good!"
"Hmm...very good!"
Chen Ziyu smiled happily: "Let's take a photo together."
Chen Ziyu is going to post on WeChat Moments tonight.
The two of them walked along the seaside without being disturbed by others or having any work matters, enjoying a rare moment of comfort and tranquility.
The sun completely disappeared below the sea level, and the street lights turned on.
Tan Yue's hand unconsciously climbed up to Chen Ziyu's shoulder and asked, "How is the scenery here?"
"To describe it in four words, it's a worthwhile trip."
Chen Ziyu has seen many photos of the scenery on Taoyuan Island on the Internet, but only by visiting this place can she truly feel what everyone calls beautiful.
The two of them wandered around the island until ten o'clock in the evening before returning to the hotel.
