"Happy and Happy" is a frugal crew. Even if they received an extra 20 million from Xinghe, they didn't intend to spend it extravagantly. Instead, they booked the wrap-up banquet at a home-cooked restaurant run by local residents.
In order to accommodate all the members of the crew, the boss deliberately arranged all the dining tables in the hall. Looking at it in two long rows, it looks like the canteen in the Harry Potter movie, and it has a more down-to-earth and harmonious atmosphere than others.
Song Yunran and the others came late, and there were still three seats left at the main table in the front.
Two of the adjacent ones were obviously reserved for him and Assistant Tang, and the last vacant seat was reserved for Qin Ke.
It was a very normal arrangement, and Song Yunran didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.
Unexpectedly, when he was about to walk over amidst the constant greetings, he saw Assistant Tang sitting on the seat that should belong to Qin Ke from the corner of his eyes.
Song Yunran: "?"
Qin Ke: "?"
The two looked at each other, with the same confusion on each other's faces, and finally sat side by side in a daze.
When everyone was present, the owner of the restaurant led the waiters to file out.
In a short time, the two rows of long tables were filled with home-cooked dishes with all kinds of flavors and aromas. The aroma that emanated made people's index fingers move, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became more lively than before.
But the excitement was all theirs, Song Yunran only had endless question marks in his heart.
He picked up a piece of cabbage absently, and looked at Assistant Tang from the air, always feeling that there was something wrong with this person.
Assistant Tang noticed the boss's eyes, so he raised his head and smiled confidently.
Mr. Song, there are not many assistants who are as discerning as me this year. Remember to raise your salary at the end of the year.
Song Yunran: "..."
He turned his face thoughtfully, touched Qin Ke with his elbow, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think Assistant Tang is weird?"
Qin Ke was stunned, and saw the other party's clear eyes staring at him seriously, with a completely familiar attitude of treating him as his own, so he put down his chopsticks and guessed: "Maybe I got motion sickness on the road.
Song Yunran disagreed: "But you can see how delicious his food is."
What's more, he never found out that Assistant Tang was suffering from motion sickness.
Qin Ke glanced over there subconsciously, and it was true, so he had to guess again: "That's because the work pressure is too great."
Although being an assistant to the president is not an easy job...
But once he considered that Assistant Tang's job was to assist Song Yunran, he thought the possibility would double.
Song Yunran: "Ah, maybe it's true."
In fact, not to mention Assistant Tang, even he himself couldn't sleep in the middle of the night yesterday
Thinking of this, he was very moved, and he didn't forget to take the opportunity to educate Qin Ke, "You will learn more from others in the future, no matter how difficult you are in front of you, you must work hard and never shrink back. Remember."
Be sure to make good money for me, and recognize who is your real father in time.
Qin Ke lowered his eyelashes speechlessly, what do you want to learn from Assistant Tang, drive the door and hit you
At the other end of the long table, Assistant Tang had a kind smile on his face.
He is a few years older than Song Yunran, and he understands the boss's personality better than other employees of Xinghe. In addition, Mr. Song often instills in him the concept of "Yunran is spoiled by us at home, you must take care of him outside". , causing him to sometimes look at Song Yunran as if he were looking at a relative's younger brother.
The younger brother is in love, how can the older brother not be happy for him
Assistant Tang had established a set of logical and self-consistent theories in his mind, and he laughed and took another big mouthful of rice.
It's pretty good, even President Xiao Song and Qin Ke didn't know how to restrain themselves, they couldn't help whispering in public, it was really embarrassing to see.
When the meal was half full, everyone began to drink and chat.
Song Yunran doesn't drink well, and he didn't even drink a drop tonight, so he only relied on a cup of tea to get around the audience.
He is an investor, and no one dares to care if he drinks or not, but Qin Ke, as the most junior actor in the crew, can't avoid it. After a while, wave after wave of people have come to ask him for a drink.
It's not that maliciously trying to get him drunk.
It’s just that in the past two months of filming, the crew members have a very good impression of Qin Ke. Thinking that after today’s filming, they don’t know when there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future. Clink glasses and chat.
Song Yunran didn't pay attention at first, but finally couldn't sit still after a while.
He now has a subtle protective mentality towards Qin Ke, and taking advantage of the fact that there are no other people around at this time, he asked very unhappy: "Can you stop drinking?"
Do you think there is not enough water in your brain
Qin Ke turned his head: "Huh?"
"Hmm, what?" Song Yunran frowned, "Let me tell you, as an actor, you have to know how to refuse appropriately. In the future, you will have a lot of dinner parties. How can you drink everyone's wine. Now you don't even have an assistant. Drink No one cares what you do when you're drunk."
When it comes to being left alone when drunk, Song Yunran is too experienced.
In his previous life, it was because he drank a whole can of beer that he would lie in bed and dream about the truth of the world, so that after waking up, he returned to before his debut.
Although this is a good thing for him, what if Qin Ke also unfortunately encounters this situation one day
Originally, I was in front of a big star, but after returning to the pre-liberation overnight, the network and status of the work I had accumulated through hard work were all gone, so my mentality must not completely collapse
Song Yunran put himself in his shoes and thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt, and said with a straight face, "You don't know anything about the horror of alcohol."
Qin Ke smiled softly.
He didn't know what kind of struggle Song Yunran had in drinking, but somehow he felt that Song Yunran's solemn appearance of promoting the dangers of alcohol was a bit cute.
So he replied: "Then can I drink tea?"
Song Yunran nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, just drink."
As soon as the words fell, Qin Ke suddenly came over.
The seats of the two were already very close to each other. As he got closer, the smell of clean laundry detergent on his clothes mixed with the faint smell of alcohol, and they floated into Song Yunran's breath together.
That wonderful mixed breath is not unpleasant, but it just makes people a little confused.
Song Yunran froze, no good! Is this drunk madness? !
In the next second, Qin Ke had already sat back and took an empty cup, picked up the teapot he just got and poured water into it.
Song Yunran pursed his lower lip, oh, it turned out he was holding a teapot.
Really, I don't know how to say hello in advance.
"Mr. Song..."
The director's vague voice sounded at the right time, and he was a little choked up after listening carefully, "Thank you so much this time."
Song Yunran followed the prestige, and saw the director's eyes were red, he held up his wine glass and continued to say to him: "You don't know yet, "Happy Weddings" is a script written by my father before he passed away. The investors all withdrew, and I almost sold the only house left by my dad... "
No, I already knew that.
Song Yunran replied in his heart, but on the surface he replied politely: "I also decided to invest because of the quality of the script. Your father is a very talented elder, and he will definitely be proud of you."
The director was stunned, and couldn't hold it back under the mixed sorrow and joy, and cried out in a loud voice: "Mr. Xiao Song woo woo woo! I will repay you by being a cow and a horse in my next life!"
Song Yunran's eyelids twitched violently, but it didn't have to be.
Let's just be human, okay
Seeing this, the sane producer next to him quickly got up and carried the director away: "Sorry, he's drunk."
"It's okay." Song Yunran smiled understandingly.
The filming crew was under a lot of pressure, and he had never seen any strange embarrassments at the finale banquet.
But such a comparison...
Qin Ke doesn't seem to be really drunk
He raised his eyes to look at Qin Ke beside him, and found that the other party's fair skin was not flushed, and there was no cloudiness in the sharp-shaped pupils, and he looked very awake.
Qin Ke noticed his gaze, and just about to say something, the producer who had gone and returned sat next to the two of them.
The producer looked at the two of them: "There is something I was going to talk to Qin Ke tonight, but since you are going to Xinghe, I have to ask Mr. Song for his opinion again."
The tone was very formal, and Song Yunran cheered up: "What's the matter?"
The producer said: "I have a friend who is a casting director. He is helping a crew with the preliminary preparations recently, so he leaked a little information to me and asked me to help keep an eye out for suitable new faces."
Qin Ke's fingertips holding the teacup moved slightly: "Do you want to recommend me to audition?"
"Yes, of course it depends on whether you want to go or not, and also on Mr. Song's agreement."
The producer lowered his volume and said in a mysterious tone of an underground party member, "The specific situation is still in the confidential stage, so it's hard to go into too much detail. I can only say that it is a martial arts film by a great director."
Qin Ke: "..."
Song Yunran: "..."
Excuse me, do you mean "Jianghu Road" directed by Tan Ming, the two thought calmly at the same time.
Seeing that they were indifferent, the producer emphasized again: "It is really a great director, and you will know it by then. From my personal point of view, if Qin Ke can catch this wind, he will not worry about resources for at least five years."
Song Yunran sighed silently. He was sure that Qin Ke would succeed in the audition, but there was another Cheng Jiaming in the crew of "Jianghu Road" watching him, and he didn't want to let Qin Ke in and break his shoulder.
"Do you want to try it?" He decided to ask the person concerned first.
Qin Ke raised his eyes and looked at him for a few seconds, and finally replied in a low voice: "I want to."
"Jianghu Road" left him, in addition to the betrayal of former classmates and old wounds that cannot be healed, there is also the regret of not being able to quit halfway.
That kind of regret stems from the fact that a serious actor attaches great importance to a good script. Even if he lives his life again, it will not be able to alleviate his desire in the slightest.
Song Yunran was stunned. For a moment just now, he seemed to see a certain sense of firm belief in Qin Ke's eyes.
You got it wrong, he thought, Qin Ke didn't know what movie it was.
It's probably just that new actors don't want to miss the opportunity to work with great directors.
"In this case, I will trouble you to recommend it." Song Yunran said to the producer.
At worst, he will arrange ten bodyguards for Qin Ke on the set, and he doesn't believe that Cheng Jiaming can still harm Qin Ke.
After several people negotiated, the finale banquet was coming to an end.
The other crew members were discussing about the continuation of the show. Song Yunran didn't want to participate in the next show, so he called Assistant Tang who seemed to be back to normal to go back.
Before leaving, he called Qin Ke outside the restaurant: "We will prepare the contract as soon as possible. Remember to be smart these two days. No matter who comes to you again, you can't agree to them. Especially beware of Zhao Siyu, you know?"
The weirdness in Qin Ke's heart rose again: "Have you met Zhao Siyu before?"
Song Yunran had no choice but to lie to him: "I originally planned to make my debut last year, and he was the agent my family contacted me at that time. But I learned that he is not capable, and later I felt that I was more suitable to be the president, so You just got the chance to stand here and talk to me today."
Unexpectedly, after Qin Ke listened, regret flashed across his eyes.
He remained silent for a few seconds before speaking slowly: "Actually, if you are willing to film, you should also be a very good actor."
Song Yunran was in a trance for a moment.
What do you mean, did Qin Ke see his acting talent at a glance
Or is it that his domineering temperament has already deeply conquered the protagonist of the original work
Song Yunran put on the cold face of the overlord: "You have vision."
After turning around, she couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth.
