"Cut!"
"Congratulations!"
"Xiaoyu, happy wrap up!"
A burst of loud applause surrounded him.
Rong Xingyu blinked his eyes and came out of the heavy emotions from the scene he had just filmed.
A faint trace of fake blood still stained the corner of his mouth.
Director Bai pulled out a thick red envelope and shoved it into Rong Xingyu’s hand. "Come, come, take this red envelope and wash away the bad luck!"
Rong Xingyu accepted the red envelope and thanked him with a smile.
His character was the white moonlight in the male lead’s heart, so he didn’t have many scenes.
That’s why he finished filming in just a few days.
When someone nearby saw the thick red envelope in Rong Xingyu’s hand, he immediately shouting his complaint: "Director Bai, you’re so biased! Why is Xiaoyu’s red envelope so big? When my character died, you gave me a few cents!"
When he had received his red envelope, it was so thin that he thought it would at least be one hundred yuan... but when he opened it, oh wow! It’s only fifty cents!
The others burst into laughter.
Director Bai rolled his eyes impatiently and said, "Go, go, go. You’re already old. Why are you comparing yourself to a kid? I even included New Year’s money for him, what’s the problem!?"
The "old man," who was actually only 24 years old: "..."
He pulled a long face. "Fine. You’re the oldest in this crew, so of course whatever you say goes."
Everyone laughed even louder.
Rong Xingyu couldn’t help laughing along with them.
Although they always played around like this and sometimes even teased Rong Xingyu everyone in the crew truly liked him.
Even though Rong Xingyu had only been with them for about a week, he was just too likable.
He was obedient, polite, hardworking, studious, and incredibly talented. Who wouldn’t like a kid like that?
So now that he had wrapped up his scenes, everyone actually felt a little unwilling to see him go.
Especially Director Bai.
Over the past few days when he personally held the camera to film Rong Xingyu’s scenes, he had clearly witnessed Rong Xingyu’s rapid improvement and even more, the kind of talent that understood things the moment they were explained.
This child was truly a good seedling.
The more Director Bai looked at Rong Xingyu, the more he liked him.
He pulled Rong Xingyu to the side and quietly asked if he had any plans to continue developing in the entertainment industry in the future.
He even threw out an offer, promising that he would personally support Rong Xingyu and make him reach a height that others could never touch.
But unexpectedly, Rong Xingyu refused him directly without even a second of hesitation.
Director Bai: "..."
The rejection was so fast and firm that it made him lose face!
"Thank you, but the school is starting soon, and I have to join competitions. Next year I also need to take the college entrance exam. I want to put more energy into studying. I don’t plan to enter the entertainment industry."
If not for his second brother asking him to help out this time, Rong Xingyu probably never would have thought he would ever act in a movie in his life.
Hearing Rong Xingyu give such a simple reason, Director Bai was speechless for a moment.
Director Bai silently cried inside for losing his future favorite student.
"Th-that’s good, yes... study hard. Which school are you planning to apply to?"
Just in case he didn’t get in, he could still consider joining the entertainment industry...
Rong Xingyu smiled shyly. "Right now I’m planning to apply to Liaofang University. Yanchuan University is also one of the schools I’m considering."
Director Bai: "..."
Director Bai almost cried out loud.
So he was a top student too?
Great. Now there was no way to recruit him!
"Director Bai, I advise you to stop thinking about my little brother. Isn’t tricking me once enough? You’re trying to trick another one?"
Rong Zhenghao stood beside Rong Xingyu and said without any politeness.
Director Bai looked at the two handsome man of the Rong family and felt deeply moved. So he told Rong Zhenghao to get lost quickly.
Rong Zhenghao immediately took Rong Xingyu into the car and directly go to the airport.
It was already the twenty eighth day of the last lunar month, so the whole crew simply took a holiday and went home to celebrate the New Year.
As soon as they landed in the capital, the driver picked up Rong Xingyu and Rong Zhenghao and drove them straight to the Rong family’s old house.
During the most important festival of the year, of course they had to gather with family.
Even the third brother who rarely came home returned for New Year’s Eve.
That night, the whole family sat neatly around the big dining table.
Rong Zhenqiao stared at Rong Xingyu with a serious expression as if he was discussing some billion dollar international contract.
His brows were tightly knit.
After a moment of silence he said, "I didn’t see clearly just now. Xiaoyu, show it again."
Rong Xingyu: "..."
He had no idea how many times he had demonstrated already. Big Brother, can you really see clearly at this point?
Rong Xingyu patiently picked up another round dumpling wrapper and said. "Big Brother, follow me step by step."
His long and pale fingers gently held the wrapper while adding the right amount of filling inside.
Then he folded the wrapper with both hands and pinched the edges to make neat folds.
Soon, a chubby dumpling that looked a little fierce and cute at the same time was finished.
"Big Brother, did you see clearly this time?"
Rong Zhenqiao: "..."
He nodded slightly, and then followed the steps clumsily and made a "dumpling."
Calling it a dumpling was already giving it too much credit.
Rong Xingyu had truly never seen a uglier dumpling in his life!
But at least it wasn’t leaking.
