”Let’s call it a day!”

”Damn it! Finally! I’m exhausted. I want to go home and take a bath...”

”I want to go home and drink! Damn it! The wind machine made me have a runny nose. I wish the wind was that strong a few days ago...”

”Hey, did you hear that Lin Feng had an affair with some woman a while ago and now his wife is divorcing him,” someone lowered his voice and said.

”Oh, from my perspective, he should not have married in the first place. What man does not cheat on his woman? Why do you think so many celebrities are not married yet? Because they are afraid of the divorce!”

”Stop talking like that! Aren’t you afraid of causing trouble for yourself by talking too much?!”

...

After completing a day of filming, the crew members gossiped and walked past the dorm where Guan Biao was residing.

The table in front of Guan Biao had tons of peanuts and a bag of brined food. He was watching a variety show on a 24-inch TV. He pulled a very tasty chicken foot from the bag, threw into his mouth, and started chewing. He heard the voices of other crew members as they passed his door.

The entire room was lit with the pale light of the LED lamp. There were piles of circuits, wires, and other unknown gadgets in the corner. The metallic contacts were shining with an icy cold luster, and the brown copper wires exposed from the insulating rubber were twisted like some ferocious-looking paws. In addition, there were some different colored liquid, from dark red to light yellow, in large and small glass bottles with no labels on them. Who knew what these liquids were.

”Pooh!” when there was nothing left of the chicken foot for him to chew on, Guan Biao spit it on the ground casually. He held up a small glass, which was full of Red Star Erguotou, raised his head and drank it all. With the spicy liquid gliding down his esophagus, his forehead produced a layer of sweat.

Today there were no blasting scenes, so Guan Biao did not have to work. He could stay warm and cozy in his dorm watching TV, drinking, and relishing the brined food. What a comfortable day.

The voices of the rest crew members gradually faded away until they finally disappeared. They were gossiping without worrying about being overheard by Lin Feng. Because, unlike them, who were living in the dorms provided by the studio, those stars were living in a classy hotel in Binhai City, and had shuttle buses to pick them up every day.

Guan Biao's residence was far away from the crew members’ quarters. Because he was a pyrotechnician, and a pyrotechnician represented danger, no one was willing to live near him. In fact, no one was willing to come by for a visit. With all the wires and unidentified liquids all around the room, no one wanted to cause trouble for themselves. Who knew whether these things would suddenly explode?

After eating a duck neck, the phone he threw on the table suddenly rang. He used his greasy palm to grab the phone and saw that Yuan Fei was calling him. His tipsiness from alcohol almost completely disappeared. He hastily tried to answer the phone, but his fingers were covered with oil, making him unable to unlock the screen. The phone was still ringing, like a summoning call from hell.

After wiping his hands on his clothes, Guan Biao successfully answered the call.

”Hello? Brother Yuan?” His voice was a little bit hoarse due to the spicy white alcohol. He strenuously swallowed some saliva.
