The next day, after saying goodbye to Yu Yunli, I went to see the master.
Tian Shao only said: "If you are good at filming, everything else is just empty. If you like the acting industry, you must become an actor who is so good that others look up to you."
"Yes, I can, master." He nodded solemnly.
"Let's go."
She said goodbye to her master, packed up her luggage and left the campus; a jeep parked outside the campus, and the people in the car saw her, opened the door and got out.
Xu Mingzhan and Xiao Chen stopped in front of her. Xiao Chen took the initiative to take the luggage. Xu Mingzhan said, "Are you tired from carrying your luggage all the way?"
"It's quite tiring. I brought a lot of books and notes." The clothes are not heavy, but the books and notes are important.
"Let's take a rest in the car." Xu Mingzhan stepped aside and gave way.
Minghua nodded and got into the car with him; Xiao Chen followed closely behind her. Her luggage was not put in the trunk, but was placed beside her.
"Sister Chen, isn't it crowded if you leave it like this?" Minghua's eyes fell on the luggage bag.
Xiao Chen said: "There are a lot of things in the trunk, nothing else."
"Can't fit it in?" She didn't buy many things on the previous set; buckets, washbasins, towels, a small stove, and a pot. These wouldn't take up the entire trunk, right?
"Yes, Comrade Xu brought a bunch of briquettes."
Minghua: "......??"
Xiao Chen nodded again, "Yes, briquettes."
Minghua looked sideways at the man beside her.
Xu Mingzhan said: "Considering that you have to do extra scenes in the new crew, prepare more briquettes to make a midnight snack. The food in the new crew may not be very delicious."
"Yes, the new crew is not as generous as Director Xu, and the funds are not sufficient. The food will definitely be wronged by you actors." Xiao Chen said again, "I also brought some rice and vegetables in the trunk; there are more than one person who will go back to your hometown with you. Yue, I learned how to cook from my aunt, so I can cook for you alone."
"Sister Chen, you are so kind." Holding Xiao Chen's arm.
Turning it over to the system was indeed the right choice. Not only did she have a strong backer, she could earn faith points with peace of mind; she also didn't have to plan the resources, and she had good resources delivered to her hands.
Xu Mingzhan turned to look at the girl next to him. She had fair and soft cheeks, full eyes, and restrained wisdom. She had her own set of principles in speaking and acting. In the few times they met, she always advanced and retreated appropriately, and she did not lack a patriotic heart.
Depending on her progress, her future will be broader after graduation; she has only been in school for less than two years, and after working with Xu Long and Qu Yang once, people wanted to work with her again, which shows how malleable she is.
"Minghua."
Minghua followed the voice and said, "The chief instructor called me?"
"Yeah." Xu Mingzhan cleared his throat, "Is there anything you particularly like?"
Minghua: "??"
"It's nothing, I'm just asking." Under her doubtful gaze, Xu Mingzhan looked away uncomfortably and stiffly changed the subject, "You accepted two new scripts, but I haven't congratulated you yet; I wanted to give you something you like. Make a congratulatory gift."
Xiao Chen: ...Comrade Xu took the wrong medicine?
He, a man who is called the Chief of the Animal Battalion in the military camp, actually gives gifts to girls?
She almost believed it.
"Thank you, Chief Instructor. I appreciate your thoughts; the two scripts are already the best gifts. There is no need for anything else to make them better." The reply was polite and courteous.
Xiao Chen knew her temperament and was not surprised by her response; Xu Mingzhan had mixed feelings. It was the first time in his life that he showed kindness to a girl, but he was decisively rejected.
A chuckle broke the silence, and Xiao Chen said: "Comrade Xu, Minghua is very principled and will not accept things from others for no reason."
"Yes." Xu Mingzhan nodded and looked at Minghua again, "The filming location this time is going back and forth between Fujian and Jiangsu provinces. Due to local issues, I am also one of the accompanying protection personnel. Minghua, you have something to do. You can come to me directly."
"Okay, thank you, Chief Instructor."
Xu Mingzhan pondered for a few seconds and felt it was necessary to mention it, "Minghua, don't call me chief instructor from now on. During military training, you are chief instructor; after military training, the position of chief instructor no longer exists, so you should still call me by my name." Xu Mingzhan, you can also call me Mingzhan, or...Brother Xu."
Xiao Chen was astonished: So you are Comrade Luo like this.
Not only Xiao Chen was shocked, Minghua was also shocked; even the two people in the seats in front were shocked to the point of silence.
"What? No?"
No one answered, Xu Mingzhan saw their expressions clearly, and thought to himself that he was still a little anxious.
Minghua was stunned and shook her head, "No."
"Then I'll call you Brother Xu from now on, okay?" Xu Mingzhan tried to keep his voice as low and soft as possible.
Xiao Chen was so numb that sitting next to them felt like it was redundant.
Minghua nodded. On the way, Xu Mingzhan sat next to her, and his breath would always bring out a little scent of soap on her body. It was not a pure soap scent, but a bit more body fragrance, which made him distracted.
After deciding on the title, joy spread in his heart, and he didn't know what to talk about for a while; occasionally he glanced at her, his eyes deep with depression.
The obvious gaze, and being so close, Minghua is like a ray of light on her back.
The car drove for more than half an hour and entered the train station; Xu Mingzhan, Xiao Chen and another soldier sitting in the passenger seat followed Minghua, while the driver who drove the person over turned around again.
There was an endless stream of people coming and going at the train station, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a huge crowd. Fortunately, Xu Mingzhan bought four sleeper berth tickets, and there were few people in the sleeper berth room. They checked in and boarded the train smoothly.
Xu Mingzhan and the three of them stuffed their things under the sleeper berth before they had a chance to rest. There were eight sleeper berths in the carriage. When the train started, no one came in. Minghua was confused for a moment and then left.
When buying train tickets now, you cannot buy sleeper berth tickets until you reach a certain level; there are also tickets that are not sold. The journey to Fujian Province will take three days. Maybe, someone will come up in these three days.
"Minghua, are you thirsty? I'll go get some hot water and come back."
"I didn't bring a cup." There was no container for hot water.
"You brought them. There are lunch boxes and cups for you to eat on the set. We also brought them. When we knew we were going to film with you, I reminded them." Xiao Chen answered.
A smile flashed in Xu Mingzhan's eyes, and he bent down to open a large bag, which contained various pots and pans.
"We want to go with you. We can't eat on the set. We can use these with you." He took out four white porcelain cups and explained to Minghua.
"It's inconvenient for the crew to get in and out during filming." No wonder they had to bring a lot of coal and calculated the amount early in the morning.
The dirty linen bag at the door is enough for about half a month; you have to buy new coal when you use it up.
"We are not a filming crew, and the director does not care about it. I asked the director specifically, and the first scenes to be filmed were the scenes of fighting bandits, resisting war, and fighting landlords. There are many mountains and forests in Fujian Province, so it was convenient to shoot, so we decided to shoot in Fujian Province .”
