The crew's stagehands were already directing people to rearrange the scene. The woman who registered Jiang Se and others' names in the morning came out again and gathered the extras together, apparently to settle their wages.
After a tiring day, many extras finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked delighted.
But before anyone could follow the woman, someone suddenly came hurriedly:
"Leave a few men here, don't leave yet."
As soon as these words were spoken, many of the extras showed reluctance on their faces, but in the end, about ten people were called to stay, and the rest followed the woman.
According to today's agreement, although Lu Baobao's shooting time was a little over eight hours, because the weather was hot today and the temperature in Shenzhuang had reached over 37 degrees, he received an extra ten yuan, for a total of fifty yuan.
Because Jiang Se had lines to act and Zhang Jing'an had personally named her, the crew gave her an extra three hundred yuan, plus the forty yuan for extras, the extra twenty yuan for water drops, and the ten yuan subsidy for cool drinks from the crew, for a total of three hundred and seventy yuan she received.
Everyone received their money in turn, and it was already very late.
Lu Baobao and Jiang Se didn't have time to take a shower. When they changed their clothes and came out, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
She originally wanted to go to the crew to take a look, but when she saw that there were more than 60 missed calls on her phone, all of which were from her parents at home, she naturally gave up the idea of chasing stars.
Today, because the two were busy filming, their clothes and wallets were all placed in the locker. Lu Baobao was so busy that he didn't even have time to breathe, and naturally he couldn't answer the call from his parents.
There was a sound of filming not far away. Lu Baobao pulled Jiang Se and said anxiously:
“It’s terrible.”
She stamped her feet and said, "The bus from Shenzhuang back to the capital is about to close."
She had been planning to come to Shenzhuang since early morning, so she had already found out some details:
"Usually, the vehicles going back and forth between Shenzhuang and the capital finish at nine o'clock, but today, because it is Saturday, we will postpone it for an hour, but the latest is ten o'clock."
The time on Lu Baobao's hand showed that it was already 9:45, and there were still 15 minutes. If they missed the deadline, both of them would be stranded in Shenzhuang tonight.
"I've never spent the night outside in my life. My mom will beat me to death when I go back tomorrow!"
She was half dead before, but now she was extremely anxious:
"What should I do?"
Seeing her anxious look, Jiang Se couldn't help but glance at her phone:
"Call your parents and comfort them first, tell them not to worry."
Lu Baobao was already at a loss at this time. He nodded quickly after hearing this, but when he came to his senses, he looked at Jiang Se and asked:
"How to comfort? What to say?"
"Whatever you say, hurry up, the bus will be closed soon, and you have to buy a ticket back to the capital."
The crew has released quite a few extras on this trip, and some of them must live in the capital. If they arrive any later, they might not be able to buy tickets for the last bus.
Lu Baobao also reacted, and the two held hands and ran out of the crew.
It was already late, but there were still reporters waiting outside. As soon as they saw the extras coming out, they rushed over, anxious to interview the extras and find out some information about the crew.
Fortunately, thanks to the intervention of this group of reporters, many extras stayed to be interviewed, so when Jiang Se and Lu Baobao arrived at the station, there were not as many people in the station as they had imagined.
The two were lucky. When they arrived at the ticket office, there were still five minutes before the last bus from Shenzhuang departed, and there were not many tickets left.
After getting on the bus, perhaps because he was too tired today, Baby Lu closed his eyes and fell asleep not long after getting on the bus.
Jiang Se couldn't fall asleep at all. Shenzhuang was separated from the imperial capital by the Daxing River.
When the car got on the viaduct, she looked at the lights on the opposite bank and heard the soft snoring of Lu Baobao in her ears. Her face was neither dark nor bright under the night lights outside the bridge.
She had a feeling that she was getting further and further away from everything she was once familiar with, just like the Shenzhuang where she had stayed today, she had been there but not left any trace.
It was nearly eleven o'clock when we returned to the imperial capital.
The Du family had already gone to bed. She knocked on the door for a while, perhaps someone had heard her, but no one came to open the door for her.
Jiang Se had no choice but to turn around and retreat. This area was already in the suburbs of the imperial capital, and the building where the Du family lived had no property management or residential area. It was very dangerous to stay outside after dark.
She touched the several hundred dollars she had earned from filming today, went out to find a small hotel, spent a hundred dollars to get a room, took a quick shower, climbed onto the bed and fell asleep without waiting to completely dry her hair.
She experienced a lot that day, and she slept very deeply after being tired.
When he woke up the next day, it was almost eleven o'clock. Jiang Se just wanted to get up, but when he moved his arms, his whole body ached.
There were already faint marks on the places where she was tied up during the filming yesterday, not to mention the marks on her shoulders where someone had cut her with a prop knife, and the bruises on her chest left by the explosion. After a night, they looked particularly scary.
She took a deep breath, endured the pain and reached out to rub her chest. It would probably take several days for these injuries to heal.
The underwear she scrubbed last night was already dry. She changed her own clothes and returned to the Du family. Du Changqun had already gone out to work, Zhou Hui was preparing lunch, and Du Honghong was watching TV in the living room. When she saw Jiang Se coming back, she made a "tsk tsk" sound:
"Hey, look who's back?"
The Du family's kitchen was just a corner separated from the living room by something. Zhou Hui heard Du Honghong's voice in the kitchen. When she came out, water was still dripping from her hands. When she saw Jiang Se, her face looked a little ugly. She moved her lips, but did not speak to her. She turned back into the kitchen.
As soon as Zhou Hui left, Du Honghong pouted:
"What are you doing back here?"
Although the two are half sisters, it can be seen that they are not close and do not look alike.
Zhou Hui gave birth to three children. Except for her son Du You, who looks like her, the other two daughters from different fathers do not look like her.
Du Changqun is not good-looking, and Du Honghong can only be described as pretty. Standing next to Jiang Se, one is glamorous and the other is inconspicuous.
This is also the reason why Du Honghong particularly dislikes Jiang Se. From childhood to adulthood, although people around her knew that Jiang Se was only Du Changqun's stepdaughter, they all praised her for her beauty.
Jiang Se entered the house silently. Du Honghong rolled her eyes at her. When she saw that she went back to her room without saying a word, she curled her lips:
"Virtue!" She had a look of doubt in her eyes. In the past, Jiang Se was living under someone else's roof, so she knew that the people in the Du family didn't like her. She didn't have a close relationship with the Du family, and she could only talk to Zhou Hui a few words. (To be continued)
