Heading towards the new place set up by the film crew in the park.
Watching the busy prop team, Li Jing smiled and greeted, "This place looks good. It seems it's already set up to the final step?"
Seeing Li Jing, a few people who initially had gloomy expressions reluctantly squeezed out a few smiles and then explained helplessly, "This place was set up long ago; now it's being dismantled."
Li Jing frowned, "Dismantled for what? Don't I still have a scene to play here?"
The head of the prop team wanted to explain but eventually shook his head and said, "President Li, I'm not in a position to say; you should ask Director Wen and the others."
Noticing their uneasy expressions, Li Jing felt puzzled and decided not to inquire further, quickly heading towards Wen Lan and the others in the field.
At this time, Wen Lan and several assistant directors were busy making phone calls.
Seeing Li Jing coming over, Wen Lan merely waved to greet him, gesturing to talk later and continued seriously on the phone.
Li Jing noticed the crew's management was all on the phone, becoming increasingly curious but unable to get answers to his questions; he could only stand by frowning.
At this moment, a joyful and clear voice came from behind.
Li Jing turned around at the sound and saw the young and vibrant Yang Xiaoxiu, his mood lightened a bit, and he smiled as he approached her:
"Haven't seen you in a while; you seem to have become even prettier."
Lately, Yang Xiaoxiu seemed to have learned to dress up. Compared to her previous simple and pure look, her overall temperament had become more refined.
Moreover, she was just nineteen, exuding youthful energy like the morning sun, full of youthful vitality.
Li Jing felt younger just by seeing her.
Receiving Li Jing's compliment, Yang Xiaoxiu became increasingly cheerful.
Unlike An Tong's shyness, praised Yang Xiaoxiu displayed no signs of shyness, instead beaming with a happier smile and said crisply, "Thank you, Brother Jing."
Then she handed over a package she had been carefully guarding since the morning to Li Jing: "Brother Jing, you're wrapping up after the last scene; this is a little gift for you in advance."
Li Jing was surprised and then frowned, "You didn't buy me clothes again, did you? You're low on funds; there's no need to spend money on buying these for me…"
"Brother Jing, don't worry; no money was spent; I made it myself."
Seeing the anticipation in his eyes, Li Jing became more puzzled, opened the package, took a look, and exclaimed, "This is… the outfit for my first scene?"
"Yes, that's right; it's the attire you wore in the first scene, which can be a memento of your performance this time."
Yang Xiaoxiu explained with a smile upon seeing Li Jing's surprised expression, "But this isn't the actual set; I asked the crew, and that set has to be kept because later every actor may have supplementary shots and retakes, so these clothes can't be taken away.
Therefore, I measured the size and made a replica for you." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ Nove1Fire.net
"You made it by hand?"
Li Jing became more astonished, opened the package again, examined it closely, and found that both the tailoring and fabric were brand new.
He noticed there was an additional piece of fabric at the clothing edge, sewn with the crew's name, Li Jing's character, and the filming date.
Seeing this meticulously crafted piece with detailed features, Li Jing carefully placed it back in the package and expressed gratitude: "This gift is really nice; you've worked hard."
Seeing Li Jing liked it, Yang Xiaoxiu's eyes curved into a crescent moon, appearing extra happy and content, shaking her head: "It wasn't hard; as long as you like it, Brother Jing."
Then the two casually chatted for a while, Li Jing glanced at Wen Lan who was still on the phone, slightly furrowed his brow, "What's going on today? Nobody is shooting and instead all are making calls?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoxiu had a complex expression and explained softly, "Earlier, some enforcement officers came in saying we didn't have filing and demanded the site be dismantled and cleared today."
"What? Dismantle all the things?"
Li Jing was startled inside and immediately thought of those enforcement officers he encountered in the parking lot, his brows furrowing deeper.
He quickly inquired Yang Xiaoxiu about the whole situation.
Upon knowing someone might be causing trouble, Li Jing recalled the call made by that enforcement officer, having some deductions in mind.
He asked in a low voice, "What's the last name of Dai Weiwei's boyfriend? Do you know?"
"Dai Weiwei's boyfriend?"
Yang Xiaoxiu paused, then seriously recalled for quite some time before uncertainly saying, "Seems like his last name is Qian; when he made a scene at the crew, I heard someone calling him President Qian."
"President Qian, indeed, then I understand."
Li Jing remembered that enforcement officer was indeed talking to a President Qian, confirming his thoughts.
"Brother Jing, dismantling this scene has a significant impact on the crew's filming work, which is why Director Wen and others are anxiously contacting others, hoping to find a way to solve it."
Yang Xiaoxiu glanced at Wen Lan and the others, suggesting: "How about you sit over there? Later, she should finish calling soon."
"No need, I'll handle this."
"Brother Jing, can you solve it?" Yang Xiaoxiu was surprised, never expecting him to handle something .
In her view, such matters related to government could only possibly be resolved by well-connected veterans in Tianhai.
She was unexpected that the young Li Jing even had connections in this regard.
Then she didn't inquire further, obediently standing by Li Jing's side, and when anyone came up to greet Li Jing, she actively explained and asked them not to disturb him.
At this moment, the call Li Jing dialed was naturally to Liu Huaming.
Previously, he was perplexed hearing about the crew's matter from those enforcement officers, unexpectedly the other side indeed stirred trouble with his crew.
Based on his current relationship with Liu Huaming, he didn't chatter much but directly informed about the crew's situation.
"President Li, you're still acting?"
Liu Huaming didn't rush to answer Li Jing's question; instead, he was surprised and curious about the broad range of Li Jing's activities.
"Just experiencing, always wanted to act myself since childhood, so I invested in a movie to try."
After hearing Li Jing's explanation, Liu Huaming sighed, "Previously, Zhou Shun said you live freely and transparently. Now it seems your life is indeed enviable."
After sighing, his tone paused and became a bit more serious: "Regarding this crew issue, the filing process typically completes in two or three days.
Your scene has been set for three days, and the filing approval hasn't ended; there should be some issues."
As he spoke, Liu Huaming made a promise, "So, ask your site not to rush to dismantle; I'll check the specific situation, and you will certainly have a satisfactory answer before tonight."
