Translator: Polarbearadise
In the evening, Xiao Yi received a call from Lin Yao, asking him to come over to get the car and also greet Lin Yao’s five a.s.sistants, four men and one woman.
Lin Yao told his a.s.sistant: “During this time, you guys will listen to Xiao Yi, do what he tell you to do.”
The a.s.sistants excitingly greeted Xiao Yi, he immediately have a feeling of the fox exploits the tiger’s might——–Now I can control people?
(T/N: The fox exploits the tiger’s might – Use powerful connections to intimidate people)
However, the facts proved that Xiao Yi is thinking too much, the a.s.sistants consist of all young people, soon they’ll already become familiar with Xiao Yi.
Lin Yao informed him, these a.s.sistants are only temporary and Xiao Yi’s position is completely different from their, every month their salary only 2 or 3 thousand, everything can depend on them. However don’t be too familiar with them, more people more mouth will blabber, the more they talk, the more wrong it will become, don’t let them gossip online.
They will be responsible for Luzhou in this period of filming, one person will responsible for cooking, one will ma.s.sage Luzhou, one will run errand, one will hold umbrella and fan and one will responsible for the schedule. They also will carry everything outside the studio, even serving Luzhou’s meal…..
“Will they even responsible for feeding him too?” Xiao Yi asked curiously.
“You can ask if there isn’t any outsider.” Lin Yao replied, “I don’t think Luzhou feel comfortable with unfamiliar people feeding him, you can give it a try, but think about your personal safety first, pay attention for the appropriate time before feeding him, if he showed obvious reluctance, then don’t even try it.”
Xiao Yi: “………”
That night, the a.s.sistants followed to Luzhou’s hotel, Xiao Yi saved five phones number and receive a SUV, driving Luzhou back and forth while they filming. Lin Yao know that Xiao Yi doesn’t have money, however he can’t give him his salary in advance. Instead he give him a credit card contain the amount of 50,000 and 20,000 cash, tell him to carefully hold onto it and if it is insufficient, the company can give him more.
Xiao Yi was busy running around in circles, after driving Luzhou to the restaurant, Lin Yao was thinking of sending his a.s.sistants to take Xiao Yi around to familiarize with the place, then he won’t get lost in a hurry.
The a.s.sistant director is from Hong Kong, the whole way he speak Mandarin, even half a day pa.s.sed, Xiao still couldn’t understand a sentence he was saying. He is afraid when they have to communicate, if he still couldn’t understand, all he could do is nodded in approval.
Following the a.s.sistant director for half a week, Xiao Yi start to become crazy,
First of all: He isn’t familiar with the areas
Second: He is completely clueless of what the a.s.sistant director is saying
The phone suddenly rang, Luzhou called to come to the restaurant and Lin Yao also want to introduce him to some people he knew. Xiao Yi quickly head back to the restaurant, waiting outside for a moment before Lin Yao told him to come in. The female lead, director, female lead’s manager, executive producer, producer was all present.
Luzhou introduced Xiao Yi and refer to him as his personal a.s.sistant, when hearing the names of all supporting actors/actresses, it’s like thunder piercing the ear, he carefully nodded and nodded, watching Luzhou, who seems to be unhappy.
(T/N: Thunder piercing the ear – Shocking/surprising news)
“Good, now you can go.” Luzhou said.
Xiao Yi then left.
Outside, there is tables fill with crew members, someone called out to him: “Did you eat? Let’s eat together.”
Xiao Yi smiled in a humble way and sat down, the female co-ordinate he met earlier warmly greeted him. She introduced him to the make-up artist, stylist, photographer with his apprentice in one table, lights and props in another….Xiao Yi feel dizzy from trying to absorb all the information, basically doesn’t know who’s who.
“You are……”
“Hou Qin.” A young elder brother sitting next to Xiao Yi said with a smile.
Xiao Yi chatted a few words with the crews, it seems they all familiar with each other, moreover, arrived earlier than him.
The female co-ordinate said: “Mr. Lu isn’t arrogance, making me feel at ease.”
Xiao Yi thought to himself, being like that isn’t arrogance…your requirement is quite low…..He smiled and said: “Ah yes, brother Zhou treat others very good, never hit me, scold me or yell at me, he speak very gentle not even hint of hatefulness. This is my first time joining the crews, please take care of me. If I did something wrong, please feel free to scold me.”
“Oh–” Everyone seem to have an understanding expression visible on their faces, he could heard the loud OS sound inside his heart beating out of his chest clearly inside his head.
For example, they are thinking this person who reach heaven in a single step, probably is Luzhou’s male gigolo,
didn’t know Luzhou also into this kind of thing,
he actually know how to pick.
Is he the attacker or the receiver?
He probably is the receiver by the way he look, aiya, nowadays if one want to blend into this circle, they have to sell their body blah blah blah…….
Xiao Yi thought, ‘these f****** people’ you can’t even control your inner thought? your expression is clearly shouting out what you are thinking.’ In order to clarify the misunderstanding, he said: “My college cla.s.smates is president Du’s nephew.”
“Oh–” Their expression changed again, the female co-ordinate smiled and said: “You probably have seen sister Xiran.”
“Yes, I have.” Xiao Yi said, “Sister Xiran is very pretty and have possess a great characteristics.”
The female co-ordinate said: “I was her fan, if one day I could be able to work with her, that’s would be great.”
“I’m very antic.i.p.ate to see Mr. Lu and Ms. Xiran working together.” The make-up artist smiled and said, “Definitely very compatible.”
“Ah yes, yes.” Xiao Yi said with a smile.
“In the film studios, everyone feels like a family.” the co-ordinate said in heartfelt way, “A lots of newcomers, after finish the jobs they feel reluctant to leave, even cried, the relations.h.i.+p between the crew members and director is very good, spend a certain amount of time in the studio and you will get used to it, getting to know others, making connection, you’ll gradually blend in.”
Xiao Yi is indeed looking forward for making good connection with the crew members, even if it a short period of time, hanging for 10 days to couple of weeks will able to become good friends, the whole crew members going through thick and thin together, of course, will build up feelings.
Luzhou waited for everyone to finish their meal than exited, everyone wanted to get up along with him, but the producer said: “Everyone eat slowly, I’ll we go have a talk with director Li.”
Everyone could eat slowly, but Xiao Yi doesn’t have that privilege, he couldn’t even touch a piece of chicken in the bowl, stand up and follow Luzhou out. The two of them bid the director goodbye, entered their car and disappear.
Lin Yao also got into the car, Xiao Yi asked: “Where should we go?”
“Back to the hotel.” Luzhou’s face was darken.
Xiao Yi thought to himself, ‘I’m done for, who stepped on his tail this time.’
Lin Yao suddenly laughed and said: “What are you competing with the newcomer for.”
“Oh.” Lu Zhou exhorted coldly, “Fen Fen Zhong want to become the movie queen, do I dare to not cooperate with her? She have her G.o.dfather carried the sky for her.”
(T/N: Carried the sky – Support behind one back with power and money)
“Alright, alright, calm yourself down.” Lin Yao said.
Xiao Yi couldn’t guessed what the female lead said, he estimated that she might be kneeling and turning her face upward while speaking with Luzhou, making him feel uncomfortable. Thinking about it he started chuckling quietly, Luzhou noticed and tap him on the head, almost making his head falling on the steering wheel.
He angrily said: “You’re on my side, when going in why are you keep bowing and bending your knee! Making me losing face!”
