Chapter 51 Finishing

Early the next morning, after putting on makeup, Xu Rong saw Li Youbin approaching from a distance, turned around and walked towards Niu Li, saying, "Wen'er, are you free? Let's rehearse the play first."

Niu Li looked at Xu Rong's serious face, not joking, her expression tightened, she quickly turned to look at the assistant, and said hurriedly: "Did we miss the announcement?"

Her assistant was a little girl of eighteen or nineteen years old. When she heard this, she immediately panicked and hurriedly searched for it.

Xu Rong caught a glimpse of Li Youbin sitting back on his own, smiled, and said, "You remember correctly, I mean the day after tomorrow."

"Can you please stop being so surprised?" Niu Li breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "I was scared to death. I thought it was today. Why are you in such a hurry?

Are you going to be reincarnated?"

Xu Rong accepted it with a smile. He knew that the envy he showed when he entered the door yesterday made Li Youbin feel good.

But it’s just this once, I still want to have fun, but there’s no way!

He could understand Li Youbin's thoughts very well. Back then, he came from poverty but now he has become richer and richer. Showing off to him is like returning home in glory.

Look, the third-tier veteran actor who played with you back then is now a TV star!

He is also the most profitable Shidi!

At noon, Xu Rong ignored Li Youbin at all and sat at the same table while eating. When he saw Li Youbin just eating with his head down, he asked with a smile: "Is it uncomfortable to hold it in?"

Li Youbin groaned, raised his eyelids and glanced sideways at him, and said slowly and calmly: "Why should I compete with an 18th-tier actor? I don't deserve it."

"Hey, these words are so hurtful."

"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to do it. It's mainly because of our current status, which doesn't allow me to think otherwise."

"..."

After eating, I continued working for a while. This is the norm for the crew. There are twenty-four hours a day, so it would be weird if I didn't work for twelve hours.

When everything was ready, director Wang Bin was talking about the play with the actors. As he talked, his eyes swept around the crowd and asked suddenly: "Where is Huang Xiaolei?"

Xu Rong glanced around. Because there were many actors in this scene, eight people in total, he hadn't noticed it before, but now he took a closer look and found that Huang Xiaolei, who played the role of the third daughter-in-law, was not there.

Zhang Xinjian was originally considering Li Youbin's previous proposal to change the script. After a while, the lights were turned on and the machine started to spin. However, he saw Wang Bin running around anxiously. He came over and asked, "What's going on? Why aren't you filming?"

"

Wang Bin knew he couldn't hide it, so he smiled bitterly and scratched his head. After a while, he hesitated and said: "An actor is missing."

"No... missing? Who?"

"Huang Xiaolei."

Zhang Xinjian's face dropped, he turned around and asked, "What do you mean you're missing? Where is the production director? Where did he go?"

The production director also looked confused at this time. There were about a hundred people in the team, how could he stare at them all? He could only say with a grimace: "I don't know, producer Zhang, don't worry, I

Look for it."

Zhang Xinjian turned his head, looked at Wang Bin, and asked, "Where is her assistant?"

Wang Bin shook his head and said he didn't know at all.

Everyone, look at me and I look at you. Is it possible that a living person can be lost?

"Did you see her when she was putting on makeup?"

"See you."

"Call up."

I called for a long time, but no one answered the phone. Zhang Xinjian was also worried. He was also afraid of something happening, so he first asked someone to go to the hotel to see if he had gone back.

But I searched all over the studio and the hotel, but I was surprised to find no trace of him.

Zhang Xinjian didn’t talk about filming anymore. The scenery was all set up, but if someone was missing, how could we film?

Call the police and find someone.

At the same time, I also scattered the people in the group to see if they were lost or something.

Dozens of people searched the streets for a long time, but there was no news at all.

In the evening, the police sent a message saying that they were recording a program on a local TV station.

When Xu Rong heard the news, he couldn't believe it. How serious it was. The crew was preparing to shoot.

If you invest, you can play like this, but the key is that it is not.

Zhang Xinjian didn't believe it either, so someone suggested turning on the TV and taking a look. It was a coincidence that within a few minutes of turning on the TV, the person the crew had been looking for for a long time was happily talking and gesticulating on the TV.

What interesting things happened on the set, how was Li Youbin, how was the director.

There was sudden silence on the set, except for Teacher Huang's beaming voice on the TV, which sounded extremely harsh to everyone's ears.

"Bang."

With a pale face, Zhang Xinjian smashed the loudspeaker into pieces and shouted at the production director: "Go and bring this person back immediately."

Xu Rong didn't look good either. He had been traveling back and forth across the country on planes and trains in the past few months. He didn't dare to delay the filming for a minute. He would arrive whenever the crew asked him to. It's better for him to do it.

The entire crew was left behind to pick up the work.

This is no longer a matter of professionalism or lack of dedication, it is simply a matter of treating the entire team like a monkey.

Wang Bin looked a little embarrassed and said hurriedly: "Producer Zhang, calm down, the child is still young and not sensible. I will talk to her when I get back."

He said what he said in front of everyone. When everyone heard it, they understood for the most part that Wang Bin was interceding.

Xu Rong pursed her lips, but saw Li Youbin walking aside without saying a word, lighting a cigarette, and smoking it silently.

Niu Li crooked him with her elbow, pointed her eyes at Li Youbin, and whispered: "Is Teacher Li angry?"

She knew that Xu Rong and Li Youbin were familiar with each other, and they had a good rapport when filming, and sometimes they would make some jokes.

Xu Rong glanced at Li Youbin's face. He really remembered it. When Li Youbin fell by himself, he had this look on his face when he wanted to frame him.

Because it happened so long ago, he had forgotten many details, but he occasionally remembered it, and the more he thought about it, the more he realized that the incident had nothing to do with him at all.

It’s all because Li Youbin wanted to be famous too much.

At around eight o'clock, Huang Xiaolei came back. As soon as he arrived at the set, Li Youbin stood up and asked in a solemn voice: "Why are you going?"

Huang Xiaolei was also vaguely aware of the strange atmosphere on the set. She blinked her big eyes, laughed a few times, and said, "I feel a little uncomfortable. Let's go to the hospital."

After she finished speaking, everyone on the crew looked at her askance. At this time, you are still making these messy excuses. Are you treating people like fools?

And even if you feel unwell, you can at least say hello to someone, and you don’t have to spend a long time looking for someone all over the place.

Wang Bin, helpless, covered his face. After sighing, he hurriedly went to help her out and said: "Ahem, um... let's go put on makeup first and prepare for the night scene."

"Okay." Huang Xiaolei seemed to want everyone present to believe that she had indeed gone to the hospital. She smiled and said, "Then I am working while sick. Can you give me a red envelope?"

Li Youbin threw the cigarette butt on the ground and said, "Put it down..."

When Xu Rong saw him throwing the cigarette butt, he knew something was going to happen next. He went up and hugged Li Youbin and whispered: "Captain, calm down."

The others were slower to react, but then, Zhang Xinjian, Wang Bin and others followed Xu Rong, took Li Youbin aside, and tried to persuade him.

Li Youbin is too powerful now and has had enough negative news. He can't let anything happen again.

"What's going on, so angry?" Xu Rong pulled him aside, took the cigarette from his assistant's hand, pulled out one, lit it for him, and asked.

Li Youbin squinted at him and said, "Do you know how many people have been hospitalized in the past few months because of the filming?"

"I've seen three of them."

Li Youbin laughed and said: "Sixteen of them, some fell and bumped, some bumped and some were frozen. No one said a word, but it was good. They left without saying a word. Who should we leave it to?"

Not angry?"

"I'm not talking about others, let's talk about you. It's -20 or 30 degrees below zero, and you're freezing when you jump into the icy water. Ask yourself, don't you feel guilty for not taking good care of your heart?"

Xu Rong smiled bitterly. He was indeed feeling uncomfortable about Huang Xiaolei's disappearance, but he was not as angry as Li Youbin. It was probably because Li Youbin had high hopes for this drama.

After such an incident happened, the atmosphere in the group became quite depressed. It was the first time that everyone saw Li Youbin getting angry. They knew that although this big shot was usually very amiable and occasionally made small jokes, he also had a temper.

At the beginning of January, Xu Rong left the set after three more scenes, dragging his tired body.

Before leaving, Li Youbin and Niu Li sent him to the station. Li Youbin knew that this time the cooperation was over, and there would be few opportunities to get along with him for such a long time in the future.

As for Niu Li, she just flirts a lot more on and off screen.

"Work hard and try to come back..." Li Youbin patted his shoulder and saw Niu Li next to him, so he said nothing more.

Niu Li looked at his slightly immature face, as if she was not used to it.

In the group, Xu Rong wore a beard most of the time. In order to look good on camera, his skin color was a little darker. He smiled and said: "I really didn't expect that my husband of several months would be so young.

"

Xu Rong smiled and said: "Sister, it's been a while now, don't talk about this anymore, just go back and keep in touch when you have time in the future."

"Well, be careful on the road and let me know when you get there."

Sitting on the plane, Xu Rong fell asleep in a daze. At some point, he suddenly woke up from his nightmare and dreamed of classmate Xiao Zhang.

It was a spring dream, but luckily I woke up in time.

When he came back to his senses, he was in a daze for a long time before he realized that he seemed to have forgotten something important.

I haven’t contacted classmate Xiao Zhang for several months.

It's strange to say that she didn't take the initiative to contact him anymore. Although she didn't contact him much in the past, she would always call him every few days to ask about her current situation.

Is it possible that it’s hard to write letters?

Unfortunately, he had put a lot of effort into that letter. He had added and deleted it several times, reviewed it for several days, and checked a lot of information. He just had to hand it over to Li Xiaobing.

In the past, he felt that he knew her quite well, but now that he thinks about it, he doesn't seem to know her that well anymore. It's like what he knew in the past was not all of her, but just the tip of the iceberg.
