Ning Xi made an appointment with Ye Dansha to have dinner together. Su Ran packed up and went downstairs. She saw many fans gathered outside the hotel, probably all locals.
When they saw Su Ran coming out, the fans shouted.
"Su Ran, you are the best."
"Su Ran, I love you..."
"Su Ran, you are my goddess..."
Su Ran hadn't enjoyed such support from fans for a long time. She felt a little embarrassed and waved to everyone. The fans cheered even louder.
Ning Xi protected Su Ran and got into the car first.
Su Ran asked: "Where is Ye Dansha? Please urge her."
"Yedansha told me that it would be a little late, so let's go first. Driver, drive."
There were also fans running behind the car.
Ning Xi sighed: "We have been here for two months, and we haven't seen a single fan come to visit us. It seems that this incident has taken your popularity and public favorability to a new level."
Su Ran said: "I still like the past, when I could film peacefully."
After driving for more than half an hour, we arrived at a homestay near the county town.
"Why are you eating at the B&B?" Su Ran was surprised.
"It's quiet here, not many people here, and I heard the food here is very good. Don't you think that your popularity has risen a lot in the past few days?"
Su Ran curled her lips: "That's true."
"You go in first. I remember I have something to tell Yu Li."
Su Ran ignored her and walked in. The owner of the B&B came over with a smile.
"Are you Teacher Su?"
Su Ran nodded. Since she was recognized, she would just admit it generously. There were not many people here anyway.
"Come in and sit in the living room first. Dinner is already prepared and will be ready soon."
The proprietress served Su Ran tea and fruit. Su Ran looked around. Although this B&B was small, it was elegantly and warmly decorated.
After finishing a cup of tea, Ning Xi hadn't come in yet. Su Ran went out to take a look, but there was no sign of Ning Xi.
Ding Dong, the WeChat notification sound.
Su Ran clicked it and saw that it was a message from Ning Xi.
"Gu Yunchen called for a meeting. I'll be back soon. You eat first. Ye Dansha will be here later."
Su Ran: Uh…
There is such a thing. What does it mean to come back in no time? It takes at least 40 minutes to get back to the hotel, and more than an hour to go back and forth, plus the meeting time. By the time Ning Xi comes back, they have all finished eating.
Forget it, it seems that only she and Ye Dansha will have dinner together tonight.
"Teacher Su, come and try our local chickens. They are raised in the mountains and are so delicious. We also have fish and shrimps, caught from our own fish pond, and these hairy vegetables are also grown in our own fields." The proprietress brought up a pot of chicken soup, and the waiter followed behind, laying out plates of dishes.
The dishes looked very tempting, and the chicken soup smelled very rich. Su Ran asked, "Sister, do you have a fish pond here?"
"Yes, it's right at the back. I have fish ponds, orchards, and vegetable fields. In fact, this place is more like a farm stay. Teacher Su, if you have time, you can bring people over to play. I promise to give you the best price." The proprietress took the opportunity to solicit business.
"Okay, I'll come again when I have time." Su Ran said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, Teacher Su, please try this chicken soup and see if it tastes good." The proprietress diligently filled Su Ran with half a bowl of chicken soup.
Unable to refuse the kind offer, Su Ran took it and drank two sips.
"How about it?"
"Delicious, in one word, fresh!"
"I told you it must be delicious. This is chicken soup made with love." The proprietress walked away with a smile.
Chicken soup full of love? What a fresh way of saying it. Generally, only chicken soup made by family members can be called chicken soup full of love, right
Su Ran took two more sips. Uh... why does this taste so familiar
"Can you still taste the old flavor?" A familiar mellow voice sounded.
Su Ran looked in the direction of the voice and saw Han Dong wearing an apron, holding a plate of dumplings and walking towards her with a smile.
"Han Dong? Why...why are you here?" Su Ran was dumbfounded.
"I said I might come to visit the set." Han Dong scratched her nose. Her surprised and stunned look was so adorable.
Su Ran understood. It turned out that Ning Xi and Han Dong had colluded with each other long ago. That was why Ning Xi sent her here and then found an excuse to leave. Therefore, Ye Dansha would not show up. Tonight was her and Han Dong's dinner.
"But... aren't you going on a mission? Will it delay your work if you come all the way to see me?"
"My mission location is right here. Yang Fan, Li Wei, and Monkey are going to participate in the World Special Forces Competition. Political Commissar Feng asked me to come here to give them special training. It will officially start tomorrow afternoon. The closed training will last for a month. How is it? Are you happy?"
Su Ran smiled happily: "So, you made all these dishes?"
"Are you satisfied?" Han Dong asked with a smile.
Su Ran nodded vigorously: "Satisfied, very satisfied."
It was a big surprise, she thought she wouldn't see him for months.
Han Dong pointed at his face and said, "Give me a reward."
Su Ran looked around embarrassedly.
"No need to look, the boss lady here is Sister Gui, Monkey's biological sister, this place is absolutely safe."
Only then did Su Ran kiss him on the face.
Han Dong held the back of her head and kissed her on the face, but only briefly.
If this wasn't the living room, I would tear her apart and eat her.
Ning Xi's saying that she was going back for a meeting was not really an excuse. Gu Yunchen did call a meeting with the production director and several leading actors. Su Ran was supposed to attend, but due to special circumstances today, Ning Xi took her place.
"This is the situation. In order to avoid risks, our crew will never allow anyone or anything that damages the crew's reputation. Therefore, Wanli has terminated the contract with Lin Ying. Lin Ying's role will be replaced by Chen Fei. I have contacted Chen Fei and she will join the crew tomorrow." After Gu Yunchen finished speaking, he looked at everyone's opinions.
Director Jiang groaned and said, "Chen Fei's acting skills are still trustworthy, but in this case, Lin Lin's scenes will all have to be reshot, and the filming period will be extended by at least half a month, and we may not be able to catch up with the National Day holiday."
I originally thought that the drama would be finished half a month in advance, and if we work harder in post-production, it would be able to catch up with the National Day holiday. Alas... Man proposes, God disposes.
“Don’t consider the release date, don’t calculate the cost and time, the quality must be guaranteed.”
Ning Xi expressed her opinion: "I can speak for Su Ran on her behalf. She will fully cooperate with the scenes that need to be reshot."
Ye Dansha said: "I have no problem either."
Other actors expressed their opinions and said that there was no problem.
Gu Yunchen said: "Then let's do it this way, Director Jiang, you need to work harder and talk more about the play with Chen Fei so that she can get into the state as soon as possible."
Director Jiang nodded, feeling a little regretful. Lin Ying's performance was actually acceptable, but it was a pity that she lacked artistic ethics and was always trying to step on others. Plus, given her family issues, she really couldn't be used.
After the meeting, Gu Yunchen's assistant said that Lin Ying refused to leave and insisted on seeing Gu Yunchen.
Gu Yunchen said impatiently: "No, tell her to get out immediately, and I can consider not asking her to compensate the crew for the losses. If she stays here, I will handle the matter impartially."
