Chapter 46: Visiting the Crew
After Song Qinghuan and Xu Ningzhou arrived at the airport in Dongyang City, they got themselves lost when they were looking for the train at the airport.
One of these 2 people lived abroad for a long period of time, while the other one had no freedom in her past life and only used private transportation in the current life. They could easily get lost at a busy airport at any moment.
“We were here just now.”
When passing by the vending machine for the third time, Xu Ningzhou finally grabbed Song Qinghuan’s hand. Song Qinghuan was looking up at the signpost and trying to find her way, so she was a bit at a loss when he grabbed her hand so suddenly.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
So cute!
Xu Ningzhou forced himself to look away, pointing at the direction not far from Song Qinghuan, “I have seen this vending machine for three times already.”
“It’s probably a machine that looks exactly the same.” Song Qinghuan didn’t think she was an idiot when it came to directions, so she blamed the airport instead. This underground maze was really terrifying.
In Xu Ningzhou’s view, the little fairy who had no sense of direction became even more lovely, and he wanted to kiss her. But he was struck by her before, so he pretended to cough and reached for Song Qinghuan’s mobile phone, “I should be leading the way.”
“Can you do it?” Song Qinghuan was worried. After all, she felt she was a native of China while Xu Ningzhou had lived abroad for more than ten years.
Xu Ningzhou squinted his eyes slightly. He bent down and pressed his forehead against that of Song Qinghuan. He said in a low voice, “Dear, you may not know, you can question anything, but you can’t question a man.”
Song Qinghuan was able to figure out Xu Ningzhou’s temperament by now and did whatever pleased her in front of him. After hearing this, she rolled her eyes and gave him the task of leading the way.
Twenty minutes later, the two who easily got lost finally managed to catch the train.
Song Qinghuan was surprised by this kind of transportation as the sound of the roaring train came. Today, she was very happy to travel by the train herself.
“You’re happy?” Xu Ningzhou looked at the girl next to him, who was like a child with ADHD. He didn’t even notice that his tone was affectionate.
Song Qinghuan smiled mysteriously and said, “Did you smell it?”
Xu Ningzhou took a deep breath and looked curious, “The taste of lunch?”
Song Qinghuan covered her face with the big hat and laughed out.
Xu Ningzhou didn’t mind seeing her laughing to the point of shaking. Instead, he leaned over and asked like a curious baby, “Share, cute little fairy, if you are happy, you have to share. OK?”
Song Qinghuan laughed enough before mumbling, “This is the taste of freedom.”
OK. Xu Ningzhou patted her head in a doting gesture. How could the little fairy’s dumb behavior turn out so funny and cute? He couldn’t control his hand.
In the beginning, Song Qinghuan would respond to Xu Ningzhou’s touch by hitting him. After spending time with him, she felt Xu Ningzhou seemed to have a hunger for her skin. After realizing he did not mean to offend her, Song Qinghuan didn’t feel like hitting back anymore. After all, he was about to become her guide!
After getting off the train, the crew arranged for someone to pick her up. To Song Qinghuan’s surprise, the person who picked her up was actually Qu Wenyou.
After introducing each other, the smile on Xu Ningzhou’s face became even broader when he learned that they were about to go to the same crew. When others did not pay attention to them, he whispered into Song Qinghuan’s ear, “You cunning little rabbit.”
Song Qinghuan humphed, “You were the one who wanted to follow me.”
“You’ve dug a pit and waited for me to jump in.” Xu Ningzhou said this, but he wasn’t angry. Instead, he carefully read the script of the movie.
The script that Xu Ningzhou held was Qu Wenyou’s personal copy. There were lots of annotations meant for the actors to understand the drama. The tone of the script was very witty and relaxing from beginning to the end. Although it was only designed for temporary enjoyment, Xu Ningzhou felt it was worth investing in.
These days’ movies highlighted big production or were intended for lecturing. Who didn’t understand the principles? Watching movies was often a way of releasing stress. No one wanted to hear ceaseless lecturing when releasing stress. They simply wanted to find joy.
This movie talked about love in a witty way. From the perspective of an investor, the theme of swapping bodies itself was rare in the current film market.
“How much did you invest?” Xu Ningzhou looked at Song Qinghuan.
Standing behind the director’s seat, Song Qinghuan, who was watching the filming, raised four fingers to Xu Ningzhou.
“Four million?”
Song Qinghuan looked at him with a smile, covered her mouth, and said with joy, “Yes, you guessed it.”
Xu Ningzhou, who had seen the script, said that there was no costly scene in this drama and lamented that the funds in the 1990s were really incomparable to those of today.
“The biggest investor in this movie is you. At present, there is no shortage of funds. You are…” In Xu Ningzhou’s view, Song Qinghuan sent the money to him for no reason.
Xu Ningzhou hadn’t finished speaking yet, and Director Xu shouted “Cut” with satisfaction before letting everyone rest for an hour. He then asked the crew to distribute the herbal tea and desserts brought by Song Qinghuan to almost everyone.
Xu Hao was a little surprised. The couple didn’t expect Song Qinghuan to bring them another investor. For the crew, of course, the more funds, the better. But Xu Hao and his wife were not greedy from the beginning.
Song Qinghuan finally smiled and expressed her intentions. It was the first time Xu Hao and his wife were their own movie’s directors. It was also Song Qinghuan’s first time to be an investor. They were all newbies in the movie market and didn’t know anything about the cumbersome follow-up things, such as sending it for review and arranging the schedule of movie theatres.
If this piece was handed over to Xu Ningzhou, then it would undoubtedly become a hit.
This was why Xu Ningzhou said earlier in the car that Song Qinghuan was a cunning little rabbit. At that time, Xu Ningzhou had already thought that Song Qinghuan was digging a pit for him.
No wonder this time she brought him so readily.
However, Xu Ningzhou was not angry, and he was rather complacent. He was happy that he could help Song Qinghuan and that the girl was willing to share this little secret with him.
The next thing was about the film score. Xu Ningzhou finally knew why Song Qinghuan was carrying an acoustic guitar.
In the evening, in the hotel room of Director Xu and his wife, the sound of a guitar came faintly, and it was accompanied by the crisp and sweet singing voice of a girl. From the jolly notes at the beginning to the sweet melodies in the end, the music was charming and pleasant as if a couple was expressing love to each other.
