Lu Yinbing did not visit the crew of "Mei Qi", but went directly to a filming location, which is also the main filming location of the crew of "Foster Mother". It is located in a small city in the northeast. It was a city that was glorious in the 1950s and 1960s, but it quickly fell into ruin almost overnight with the adjustment of its industrial structure.
Arriving at the provincial capital, Lu Yinbing had already changed out of her fashionable outfit to follow the local customs and put on the most common padded jacket and wide-leg pants worn by working women here? In fact, they were just ordinary gray linen pants. They were loose on her and the trouser legs were hanging loose, so she called them wide-leg pants for a humorous look.
In order to avoid being recognized by a large crowd, she took a soft sleeper train and put on a little makeup. She looked poor and hunched over when she entered the soft sleeper compartment. The attendant tried his best to hide his surprise but still showed a look of surprise. Later, she made an excuse that she might have just returned from visiting relatives in the city and her child in the city bought the ticket for her.
The train was bumpy all the way, taking Lu Yinbing from the relatively prosperous provincial capital to desolation step by step. Carrying a huge Oxford bag, she squeezed with the crowd leaving the station. From time to time, she could hear a curse with a strong local accent. She looked in the direction of the curse and saw a man who looked like a father slapping his daughter on the back of the head. The daughter immediately staggered forward, lowered her head and said nothing. Lu Yinbing saw something bright flash in her eyes.
There was no automatic gate at the exit of the small town, and there was not even a staff member. A large number of people mostly poured out of the exit in a relatively orderly manner, and the noise so noisy that it almost exploded people's brains came towards them.
"Are you staying in a hotel?"
"Are you going to xxx?"
"Are you going to OOO?"
"Take a taxi? Thirty per person, and we still have two people to go."
Lu Yinbing carried the bag and walked away from the center. She didn’t look like she was here for tourism. Although she didn’t know what there was to do for tourism in this tiny place, she probably came here to reminisce about history and go on adventures.
Following the sign that said it had "renovated" and was missing limbs, they walked 200 meters and found the bus station. There was a sign with red letters on the front glass, "xx-xx", which was the starting point and terminal of the bus. Lu Yinbing walked to the front door and the driver was looking down at his cell phone.
Lu Yinbing: "Master, has this car passed by xx?"
The master didn't look up: "Come on, come on up, you're close, three yuan is enough, we'll collect the money later."
"Hey." She nodded and asked, "Where should I put this bag?"
The master squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, then lowered his head and said, "Go inside, go inside, and put your feet down."
Simple and crude.
Lu Yinbing took a car to the address given by the director and walked there by herself. It was a run-down building in a tube-shaped building. She ran up the stairs quickly in the corridor that gave off an unknown smell and took out her key to open the door.
The little girl actually arrived earlier than her. She was about twelve or thirteen years old, with big eyes, white skin, and a unfamiliar face. She was not a child star.
"Hello," Lu Yinbing stretched out her hand, wanting to smile, "From today on, I am your mother."
The little girl was more daring than she was, and she called out crisply, "Mom."
The two smiled at each other.
Lu Yinbing: "Mom, let me introduce myself to you. My last name is Lu, Lu Yinbing."
Little girl: "Let me introduce myself to you, mom. My last name is Yu, Yu Tian, and everyone in my family calls me Tian Tian."
This is considered as becoming a stepmother. The two of them briefly introduced themselves, sat on the sofa together to read the script, and discussed how they would get along with each other for the next two months. They basically followed the script and only acted out the quarrel scenes.
Lu Yinbing took Yu Tian's hand and said, "Come on, Mom will take you to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables. Take a look at what you want to eat and familiarize yourself with the market prices in advance."
Xia Yitong started filming in December. The original shooting date was four and a half months, and it was scheduled to be completed near the end of May. However, the shooting progress sped up a lot in the middle, and it was finally completed ten days ahead of schedule. In mid-April, Xia Yitong's final scene was also the last scene of the entire crew, and it was officially approved.
The new experience of more than four months has come to an end again. This time, she did not feel as reluctant as when she last filmed "Breaking Snow". Others were crying, but she couldn't help laughing. After a New Year's separation, she was finally able to meet Lu Yinbing again.
Shang Youxuan and Qiao Tong both came to the wrap-up party, as well as the elusive Zhou Yiwen. Before coming, Zhou Yiwen confirmed with Qin Hanlin several times that he would not receive any more razor blades before agreeing. Xia Yitong still left early to catch the early morning flight to the small town where Lu Yinbing was.
In the nanny car on the way to the airport, Xia Yitong received a WeChat message from Lu Yinbing: My daughter ate the fried pork ribs I made today [smile]
Xia Yitong - Mom, I want to eat too [poor]
Lu Yinbing—Come on, come on, I’ll cook for you if you come.
Xia Yitong—waiting for me to finish filming.
Lu Yinbing—When will you finish filming? Will it be on the 26th
Xia Yitong—Yes, yes.
In order to prepare for this sudden surprise, Xia Yitong started preparing since she joined the crew. She greeted Lai Ying and Qin Hanlin in advance. If Lu Yinbing asked about the progress, she must not tell her. Although there were other people she was familiar with on the scene, firstly, Xia Yitong could not tell people who didn't know the inside story that she was going to visit Lu Yinbing's class, which would give rise to gossip. Secondly, according to her judgment, Lu Yinbing would not ask other people about the progress of the shooting. She always refused to sit if she could lie down, and avoided socializing if she could.
So when she was already in the car to the airport, Lu Yinbing was still frying pork ribs in a small town in the northeast, waiting for their reunion ten days later. Xia Yitong gritted her teeth, very jealous of her adopted daughter.
That's right, now she is going to compete for favor with her stepdaughter.
Lu Yinbing - I'm going to sleep. There are only a few houses here with lights on at 10 o'clock in the evening, so now my biological clock makes me so sleepy that I can't open my eyes as soon as it reaches 10 o'clock.
Xia Yitong—Go to sleep, good night.
Lu Yinbing—Good night.
Xia Yitong—I still have a scene to shoot, and I’ll go back to sleep after that.
It can be said that the disguise is very similar.
Lu Yinbing—Thank you for your hard work. Let me rub your shoulders for you.
Xia Yitong—Okay, wait for me to finish filming, be good and go to sleep.
Lu Yinbing didn't reply, probably because she went to sleep. Xia Yitong was excited all the way, rehearsing the scene of her suddenly appearing at the door of her house when Lu Yinbing opened the door tomorrow. Then she thought, it wouldn't take more than six hours to get there by plane, train and taxi. She couldn't care less, so she would suddenly appear at a different time, the effect would be almost the same, as long as she could see her.
She was still in high spirits until she got on the plane. In order to be energetic the next day, she had to force herself to cool down her boiling emotions and lay on the seat to sleep for an hour.
She also changed her clothes, wearing a thick lilac hooded canvas jacket, blue jeans, and shiny white new sneakers. She had no makeup on, but she looked even more gentle and charming after being free of makeup. As usual, she put on a hat and a mask, and Xia Yitong boarded the train to the small town.
She looked at the watch and swayed in the soft sleeper car for more than an hour. With a whistle and the sound of brakes rubbing against the rails, she stood out from the crowd and rushed to the door. She was the first to jump out of the car, carrying a military green canvas bag, looking young and beautiful. She was completely different from Lu Yinbing who came last time.
Xia Yitong looked young to begin with, and the way she was dressed made her look more like a student who came to visit relatives, and moreover, a wealthy student from a big city. Therefore, the voices surrounding Xia Yitong's ears were more than twice as loud as those of ordinary people, and she tried hard to discern useful information from them.
"Would you like a taxi? Forty yuan per person, leave immediately." The taxi driver with a simple and honest appearance said this.
Wow, he is quite good at judging people's moves. If Lu Yinbing were here, he would jump up and blow the opponent's head off.
Xia Yitong is rich and not stupid, but she is eager to see Lu Yinbing and can't care about that. She asked, "How many people do you have?"
The taxi driver was stunned at first, then said, "There are three more."
Xia Yitong: "I'll give you 200, and you pull me in."
A hint of joy flashed across the driver's eyes, but seeing that he had been taken advantage of, he didn't want to let him go and wanted to bargain. Xia Yitong frowned. She had always disliked such people. She was about to leave, but at this moment the phone in her pocket rang. It was Lu Yinbing.
Lu Yinbing said, "Just stand there and don't move. If you leave with them, I'll be angry with you."
What do you mean she left with someone? Who else could she leave with? The next moment, she compared the first half of the sentence and figured out what it meant. Lu Yinbing was at the station and saw her. This was impossible, right
She immediately stood on tiptoe and looked around. There is a saying that if you really love someone, you can still recognize her figure at a glance even if she is in a crowded crowd.
It's true.
Xia Yitong caught it almost at a glance, a nimble figure went upstream, through the crowd, and kept running towards her, running closer and closer, so close that she could see the sweat beads on the other's nose, and even the white steam from the lips while running was so beautiful.
She was completely stunned, in ecstasy of reunion and unexpected shock. She clearly didn't tell her that she was here, so why did Lu Yinbing appear here
Until Lu Yinbing slapped her... on the arm, this slap was hard, Xia Yitong came back to her senses: "Lu, no, how are you-"
Lu Yinbing put his arm around her shoulders and left. The taxi driver who was about to overcharge her called out from behind, "Two hundred yuan for two people. I'll give you a discount!"
Lu Yinbing didn't even turn his head.
When they reached a less crowded place, Xia Yitong called out, "Teacher Lu, how did you know I was here today?"
Lu Yinbing said, "We are in sync." After a while, he couldn't help but said, "Are you stupid? Two hundred yuan, and a taxi only costs three yuan. You're here, but your head is left behind by the crew?"
As a dedicated actor, the style of the common people must be deeply ingrained in one's bones.
Xia Yitong slid down, held her cold hand, and whispered, "Didn't I want to see you earlier?"
Lu Yinbing broke free, hooked her neck and pulled her towards him, then kissed her on the cheek.
Xia Yitong looked around nervously, but no one was looking at her.
Lu Yinbing didn't take her to the three-dollar-per-person car, but turned to the grassy side of the road, where a red bicycle was parked. It looked quite new, and an incredible idea came to Xia Yitong's mind.
Lu Yinbing stepped on it, with his long legs and both feet on the ground. He raised his chin and said proudly, "This is my new Ferrari. Come on up."
Xia Yitong bit her lower lip and smiled, sitting sideways in the back seat, hugging Lu Yinbing's waist with both hands.
Lu Yinbing said loudly: "One, two, three, let's go."
I pushed my legs forward with all my strength, and the handlebars twisted a few times uncontrollably before stabilizing and setting off smoothly.
Lu Yinbing: "It's quite cold this morning. You didn't wear gloves. Put them in my pocket."
Xia Yitong responded.
It was a cold April in the Northeast. Xia Yitong put his face on Lu Yinbing's back, with his hands in her pockets. There was no wind at all, and his heart was warm.
Lu Yinbing said in front: "It's comfortable, right? This is how I take my daughter to buy groceries."
Xia Yitong immediately pursed her lips into a taut line.
I just didn’t notice why the back seat is so uncomfortable.
