Chapter 434: Getting Lunchboxes
Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Throughout the whole morning, only three scenes were filmed. Zhang Zian experienced how dull and boring the filming process was. As it turned out, those brilliant scenes on the screen were made by these short takes. Actors and the script were like separate atoms of hydrogen and oxygen, and the director was the key electric spark that added them together to make an explosive chemical reaction.
All that said, Zhang Zian still felt very bored, especially when Feng Xuan shouted ”Cut!” He felt inexplicable discouraged, as if a flaw had occurred when a sand castle was about to be built, or as if a customer had asked him questions for an hour and didn’t buy anything in the end.
Famous was full of energy and did not show the slightest impatience. Zhang Zian knew that it must be very tired, because it had run back and forth six times just shooting the first scene. Added with the rehearsals, it had run almost ten times, but every time, it had meticulously met the director's orders and requirements.
When the third scene was finished shooting, it was already 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and Feng Xuan finally decided to take a lunch break. ”Come and get your lunchboxes!”
Hearing these words, Zhang Zian, who almost fell asleep while he was standing, finally woke up. He was aware that he was so hungry that his stomach was singing. To make some space in his stomach for the free lunchbox, he barely ate anything that morning.
Having been busy for the whole morning, the rest of the crew members were all tired and hungry. They put down their things at hand and quickly rushed to get their lunchboxes. It was just like the cafeteria in a high school during lunchtime.
”Famous!” Zhang Zian waved to Famous, asking it to come to him. When Famous approached, he asked, ”How are you, are you hungry?”
It shook its head slightly. ”I'm not hungry.”
”How are you not hungry? I can barely stand the hunger even though I was just standing here all morning, but you ran so much, you must definitely be hungry. You wait here, take a break, and I'll get you a lunchbox. You’ve worked so hard, you deserve to have an extra chicken leg.” Zhang Zian smiled.
Perhaps because it heard ”chicken leg,” Famous unconsciously licked its lips and laid down to rest.
In the morning, there were no scenes involving Red Dragon or Prince. They were did not need to be on lease either. They had been behaving very well and did not bark. They went to Famous and lied on the ground.
The crew members were so competitive to get their lunchboxes. Zhang Zian was nervous, wondering if the number of lunchboxes was not enough. He did not dare to delay it any longer. He struggled to squeeze into the crowd and said to the guy responsible for giving out lunchboxes, ”Four lunchboxes with extra meat!”
However, the guy handed him only one lunchbox, without raising his head, he said, ”One lunchbox per person. No getting on on behalf of others. What do you need so many lunchboxes for? Is it your first day on the crew? Get out of here! You are obstructing others!”
Zhang Zian did not leave. He asked, ”Are you sure I can’t take lunchboxes for others? Then I’ll have to let my dogs come and get lunch themselves.”
Someone next to the lunchbox guy whispered a few words to him. The lunchbox guy looked up at Zhang Zian. ”A dog trainer? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? You want four, right? Here! Take them and get out quickly!” He stacked three lunchboxes and handed them to Zhang Zian.
Zhang Zian was a little bit annoyed. No business owners dared to treat their customers with such an attitude. I’m just a dog trainer? Well, you are just a guy handing out lunch to the crew. Who do you think you are to be so cocky? But then he thought to himself, No need to be angry with this guy, I should feed myself first.
Holding four lunchboxes, Zhang Zian squeezed out from the crowd and went back to the three dogs. Smelling the scent of the meal, they all came forward and circled around the lunchboxes.
Zhang Zian opened his lunchbox. He was disappointed. The meal was so shabby! In the square lunchbox, half of it was rice, while the other half was scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Moo Shu pork, and sautéed cabbage with vinegar sauce. The lunch standard must not exceed ten yuan! And where was the chicken leg as promised? Most importantly, the meal was already cold! It was cold! He thought he was just unlucky, but then he opened the other three boxes. The food was all the same.
Zhang Zian had not eaten cold meals in a long time. Having such a cold meal in winter, he couldn’t help but complain to himself, Why can’t they serve the meal as soon as the lunchboxes arrived? When they finished shooting, the meal was already cold!
But then he looked at the other people. Whether it was director Feng Xuan or the leading actor Lin Feng, they were eating the same kind of lunch as him. The only difference was that their lunchboxes had been delivered to them, and they could have lunch while sitting. Zhang Zian and the rest of the crew members had to get their lunchboxes in person and could only squat as they ate their meal.
”What should I do, Famous? This meal is cold. Should I find a way to heat it up?” Zhang Zian said, looking up at the windows of the two-story building, wondering if he could find a microwave. Probably not. If there was one, every member of the cew was probably in line to use it.
