I'm not a good substitute

Everyone was looking at them jokingly. Hua Qing was sweating on his forehead, and he wanted to tell them about Huo Jindong's identity, so as not to offend them.Unexpectedly, Huo Jindong was extremely active, and took the initiative to pick up the wine glass, feeling a little impatient.

interesting.

Sitting in his seat, Hua Qing looked at Huo Jindong with a smile, and saw that he was generous, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, obviously not unhappy, and his gaze towards Zhang Yanran was also quite affectionate.

But Zhang Yanran's cheeks were flushed, and he was quite embarrassed. Faced with such a booing situation, there was no disgust in his eyes, and when he looked at Huo Jindong, he asked for help.

It's just that Zhang Yanran moved slowly, hesitating for some reason.

The men's jokes at the wine table are always big, and now they are all on the top, applauding loudly, and other tables have also looked over, if they stay there all the time, it seems that they are not giving everyone face.

Zhang Yanran gritted his teeth, picked up the cup and walked towards Huo Jindong, the two stood still, he raised his arms around Huo Jindong cruelly, and finished in one breath.

There was a spicy taste in the mouth, the two of them were close to each other, and the distance was extremely close, only Zhang Yanran could hear Huo Jindong whispering, "Drink slowly."

Huo Jindong himself slowed down, wishing to spend as long as possible with Zhang Yanran.

After drinking, Zhang Yanran blushed, and everyone thought he was incapable of drinking, and joked that it would be good to let him drink a few more times. Only Huo Jindong could hear the sound of Zhang Yanran's heart beating rapidly.

There seems to be a gravitational force between the hearts, and even his heartbeat speeds up unconsciously.

In the end, everyone became excited and drank indiscriminately. Huo Jindong blushed and leaned against Zhang Yanran, just smiling and not speaking.

"Hey, Huo Jindong, get up." Zhang Yanran didn't drink much, and his mind was still clear, for fear that such an ambiguous appearance would be seen and arouse suspicion.Looking around, I found that I was thinking too much, and there were many people who were more intimate than them, and there were quite a few people hugging and drinking together.

Huo Jindong leaned on Zhang Yanran's shoulder, feeling extremely at ease, and didn't want to move at all.

"Yanyan, let me lean in for a while, just for a while, I haven't been this close to you for a long time." Huo Jindong slurred his speech and said vaguely.

Zhang Yanran kept a straight face, thinking how long it would have been, it was only 20 days ago, and the two of them were still sleeping in the same bed when they were in Nanyi.Sure, that sleep is just a normal sleep, but isn't that close enough?

Huo Jindong suddenly smiled, "Are you complaining about me in your heart?"

Zhang Yanran immediately denied, "No."

With a puff, Huo Jindong couldn't help laughing, "Did you know that when you lie, you deny it very quickly."

Zhang Yanran was speechless.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Huo Jindong held Zhang Yanran's wrist, not daring to use too much force, "Take care of yourself when you go to filming, the conditions are tough, don't get tired and thin, I will go to see you."

Zhang Yanran twitched his wrist, but didn't twitch. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he let him go, "You don't need to go to see me, you take care of yourself. You eat and take your medicine on time, you know?"

Still caring silently, the hard-spoken and soft-hearted little thing.Huo Jindong hummed, and rubbed Zhang Yanran's wrist twice. When Zhang Yanran saw Hua Qing approaching, he quickly stretched out his hand and pushed Huo Jindong.

Huo Jindong stood up, his body swayed, Zhang Yanran stretched out his hand to support him.Hua Qing acted as if he hadn't noticed the series of small actions of the two of them, and started discussing the matter with Huo Jindong.

The banquet was almost over, and Zhang Yanran had to go back to pack his luggage. Yaoyao said hello to Huo Jindong and left. Huo Jindong couldn't catch up, so he could only send a message to remind him to be careful.

Huo Jindong was the only one, so Hua Qing began to tease mercilessly, "Is it because of him that you invest? When did our President Huo fall in love with a girl like a primary school girl?"

Huo Jindong smiled, "Not all of them. Didn't you nod your head for this project? I trust your vision."

"I don't know where to dig out the samples that were voted to the Song Corporation many years ago, and invest in the current movie. It takes so much effort, you really did it without leaving a trace." Hua Qing sarcastically, "It's not much anyway, For Mr. Huo, it's a drop in the bucket."

Huo Jindong laughed, and patted Hua Qing on the shoulder, "Okay, so what if it's for him? The things between us are too complicated, I'll tell you slowly if I have a chance."

Hua Qing smiled, "If it's exciting enough, I'll consider turning the story into a movie."

Huo Jindong was speechless.

When Zhang Yanran got off the plane, he felt cool.

Province G is high in altitude and mountainous. Although it is midsummer, it is much cooler than Nanyi and Beijing. He carried one suitcase, Guo De also brought two suitcases, and Ge Yang carried the remaining two. A group of people took the airport bus to the reserved hotel.

This time the filming took a long time, three or four months, and the conditions were difficult. Zhang's mother helped Zhang Yanran prepare a lot of luggage, nearly half of which was food, making Zhang Yanran's luggage full.

Fortunately, it took a long time to come out this time, and Guo De also set off as a manager, and the three big men could barely move these things.

Before leaving, Huo Jindong sent a message to Zhang Yanran, telling him to film the movie well, don't worry about family affairs, he will help keep an eye on it, and also said that he will visit the set when he has time.

Zhang Yanran closed the phone, knowing that Huo Jindong would do what he said, for some reason, he was a little bit looking forward to it.

When they arrived at the hotel, they put down their luggage and went out for a stroll. Because of the weather in Province G, the food is mostly spicy, Guo De and Ge Yang are not used to it, but Zhang Yanran is like a fish in water.

While eating, I thought, Huo Jindong also said that he would come to visit the class, so he must not be used to the food of G province.Then he shook his head in his heart, he is a big boss, will he still have a gap to eat? I am really worrying about it.

Staying in the provincial capital for a day or two, Zhang Yanran has nothing else to do every day, just go shopping, observe the customs, taste the local specialties, and chat with people on the street, quite leisurely.

After the crew arrived one after another, they chartered several buses and drove all the way to the scheduled shooting location.

After driving for five or six hours, the journey became more and more remote. In the end, I only arrived at the county seat where the village belongs, and I wanted to go to the village.Buses can't get through. The mountains are full of extremely narrow winding roads, and only motorcycles can be used.

Zhang Yanran was carrying a suitcase in one hand, sitting behind a fellow villager, watching the motorcycle speeding past the cliff, it really felt frightening.

Zhang Yanran was in the third last batch. By the time all the film crew arrived, it was completely dark and the village was so remote that it was difficult to go out. The signal was also very poor, and they could only be received by running to the top of the mountain.

Well, this time I also quit the Internet.

They borrowed from the farmhouse, and the TV was very small, still in black and white.The only other electrical appliances are electric lights, but they are rarely used in order to save electricity. Generally, kerosene lamps are used.

If I hadn't come here in person, I wouldn't have imagined such a poor place in the world, and I don't know how the director found it.

Zhang Yanran and the others were originally staying here, so they didn't want to disturb the living habits of the host's family, so they also used dim kerosene lamps to illuminate them at night.

It's just that the lights are really dim, the mobile phone has no signal, and the body is tired, so I went to bed early.Three big men squeezed into a fairly spacious kang, but fortunately it was not crowded.

Summer in the mountains is also quite cool, and you even have to cover yourself with a thin quilt in the middle of the night.

But there were many and big mosquitoes in the mountains, but overnight, Zhang Yanran had a few more red marks on his arms, Guo De was even worse, his thighs were horrible, only Ge Yang was fine.

He nodded silently, and smiled honestly, "I have never attracted mosquitoes since I was a child, Brother Guo, you can find some medicine to wipe it on."

All the equipment was brought over last night, and today Zhang Yanran ran out after dinner to help set up the machines and arrange the venue.

When I came back, I found mosquito repellent lotion from the lighting engineer and applied it on Guo De. Guo De's legs were itchy and swollen.

Originally, he wanted to stay here for a few more days, but Guo De really couldn't stay here this time, and he doubted whether Zhang Yanran could bear such hardship.

While cracking open a tea egg, Zhang Yanran said nonchalantly, "Try to know, as long as the director doesn't run away, I won't run away."

Guo De patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "I will leave after you finish the two scenes. I have to see the level of this director before I can rest assured." Although I have seen some films shot by Ju Lei before, I have to really watch them. Only when the finished product is finished, Guo De can rest assured.

Zhang Yanran nodded, and Guo De suddenly mentioned another matter, "I just found out that Song Entertainment actually invested in this movie. Yanran, did you bring in the investment?"

"No, I haven't." Zhang Yanran quickly denied, and took a bite of the tea egg, "He, Huo Jindong, said that the director had submitted a short film for the Song Corporation a few years ago, and now that the new company has been established, it has decided to discover a group of potential new directors. Ju Lei is one of them, and it just so happens that he has opened a new movie, and the cost is not high, so the Huo Group invested in it."

Whatever the reason, it's always a good thing.Guo De pondered, with Huo's investment, even the team is much better.

Although Zhang Yanran's salary has not changed, the director said that spending the money wisely is good for the crew, and Zhang Yanran, as the absolute male lead, is the biggest beneficiary.

Even if the director doesn't say anything, Zhang Yanran is too embarrassed to ask him to raise the salary after the contract has been signed.

Regarding the relationship between Zhang Yanran and Huo Jindong, Guo De didn't want to inquire too much, but just reminded him vaguely, pay attention to protecting the public, and don't expose it.

In any case, Zhang Yanran is just a little-known actor now, if it is rumored that he has something to do with Huo Jindong—especially Huo Jindong is now the largest natural person shareholder of Song Entertainment, then all his efforts will be in vain.

Even if the future Zhang Yanran achieves certain achievements, in the eyes of the public, he still relies on Huo Jindong's superior vase.

What's worse is that Zhang Yanran's two current plays are related to Huo Jindong, although Zhang Yanran personally interviewed for one, and Huo Jindong only joined the cast after Zhang Yanran confirmed the starring role.

But others would not think so. Before he had enough capital, what Guo De could remind Zhang Yanran was to protect himself and the secrecy of his personal relationship with Huo Jindong.
