Chapter 216 A Day in the Production Crew

216 – A Day in the Production Crew

As a member of the crew, the crew would provide Lei Ruilin a box meal. However, Lei Tie and Qin Ruiqi were not members of the crew, so the crew naturally did not cover their meal. Lei Tie had just called to ask Qin Mian to deliver food.

Qin Mian went home and was busy cooking. With many people in the drama crew eating together, making too fine of food would be easy to attract people’s eyes. Hence, Qin Mian just made several home dishes which included red-cooked fish, home cooked shredded meat, and stir-fried bok choy. He also cooked a pot of strongly flavored bone soup and put it in a large thermos.

After thinking about it, he picked some oranges from the space and squeezed a barrel of orange juice.

At the filming site, Qin Mian sent a text message to Lei Tie. Not a while later, Lei Tie came out. When the staff saw a provisional pass hanging around Lei Tie’s neck, they just let him take Qin Mian in.

Qin Mian saw the camera facing Lei Ruilin and Lin Xiang, and knew that they were still shooting. He was curious about his son’s performance and walked over quickly. Because he had read the script, he knew the content of this scene.

The quirky Tuan Tuan found something wrong with his Gege in recent days, who was always absent-minded in doing things. He secretly followed Chen Haolong with funny ideas. Unexpectedly, he discovered that Chen Haolong had a big secret hidden. Tuan Tuan offered to help his Gege, but was rejected by Chen Haolong. The naughty Tuan Tuan proposed for them brothers to compete with each other. If he won, Chen Haolong had to promise to take him along.

“Heart Caution, Scene 1, Act 23. Action!”

“Ge, take me with you. My kung fu is so good; I can help you!” Lei Ruilin was wearing a blue cartoon T-shirt and a pair of black knee-length shorts with a reversed peaked cap on head, appearing a bit naughty; the hands behind his back and tilted head skillfully showed his cockiness and cunningness, remarkably alike the quirky Tuan Tuan. Even if his height was only to Lin Xiang’s waist, standing in front of Lin Xiang, he was not oppressed by Lin Xiang’s aura.

Chen Yue sat in front of the monitor screen, frequently nodded.

Not only he, but Lin Xiang was also surprised. He looked at the child in front of him with new eyes.

“Stop horsing around.” Chen Haolong patted Tuan Tuan’s head neither lightly nor hard. His playing down tone showed that he didn’t take his younger brother’s words seriously and was just perfunctory because he was afraid of being found out with the microchip in his hand. The expression in his eyes was grave.

“Ge!” Because of Gege’s distrust, Tuan Tuan was somewhat frustrated, but he still tried to persuade, “Ge~~let me go with you. I’m just a kid. No matter what happens, no one else will suspect me.”

Chen Haolong admitted that what he said was reasonable and glanced at him. Still, he didn’t want to involve his younger brother in danger. The expression in his eyes was still firm and remained unmoved.

Tuan Tuan had no choice but to say, “Come on, let’s have a fight! If I win, you take me with you. If I lose, I’ll… give up.” He put his hands on his little hips, poked his right foot on the ground bit by bit, pouted his mouth, and aimed at him a pair of glistening eyes.

Chen Haolong was teased by his mischief and simply agreed. His tone was very perfunctory as he just wanted to send away his younger brother quickly, “Fine, fine. I’ll play with you.”

“Cut!” Chen Yue said with satisfaction, “Very good. The next scene is a fight between the two of you. The stuntmen will do it.”

Lei Ruilin immediately raised his hand, “Director, I can do it myself.”

Everyone looked at him in surprise. The main reason was that no one thought that Chen Yue could dig out a little master just by casually digging in the street.

Chen Yue was very surprised, “Personally?”

Lei Ruilin nodded cleverly, “I’ve learned martial arts for more than five years.”

A lot of people involuntarily laughed, taking it as though the little one was not sensible and joking around. He was no more than eight years old. If he had learnt for five years, didn’t he begin to learn when he was over two years old? How was that possible?

Zhang Qiong frowned, a little unhappy. It was not that he didn’t like Lei Ruilin. These days, Lei Ruilin’s twin brother, Qin Ruiqi, was here. He noticed that Qin Ruiqi was also interested in filming, so he thought that Lei Ruilin did such as brushing his sense of existence in front of Chen Yue was suspicious. Perhaps, his purpose was to attract Chen Yue’s attention to Qin Ruiqi.

In fact, he actually thought too much. People in the entertainment industry had seen people of various shapes and colors so much that they couldn’t help thinking of others in the direction of scheming. He simply forgot that Lei Ruilin was just a child. How could the child think so far?

Chen Yue was very pleasantly surprised. It was better not to use a stuntman. The shooting effect would be more natural and wonderful. But he didn’t agree, instead, he asked, “Little guy, are you serious?”

His sight drifted to Lei Tie; he also saw Qin Mian.

Qin Mian wore a smile with eyes calm and confident, nodded slightly to him, to show that Lei Ruilin did not lie.

“I never lie.” Lei Ruilin said.

Chen Yue cautiously said, “First, you do it with the martial arts instructor?”

Lei Ruilin nodded calmly and said to the martial arts instructor, “Please guide me.”

The martial arts instructor was amused. With the director’s instruction, there was nothing he was unwilling to do, “Okay, come.”

Lei Ruilin knew that it was not the time to be modest. Since the martial arts instructor was embarrassed to take the first shot, he attacked first and threw a straight hook punch. The martial arts instructor immediately went to grab his wrist. Lei Ruilin knew that the purpose of the fight was not to win, but to transition. So, his fist flashed to the side, the other fist punched out, and at the same time, his right leg swept the footwork of the martial arts instructor. Although there were only two moves, the martial arts instructor had seen that he really knew martial arts, so he got serious. Two people went forth and back, fighting so wonderfully.

Others might not see it, but who was Chen Yue? He had made many action movies; he soon saw that the martial arts instructor was really serious, wanting to subdue Lei Ruilin. But Lei Ruilin had real skills. He had been swiftly slipping all the time, and even forced the martial arts instructor to retreat one step after another.

“Good!” Chen Yue was very happy, “Ruilin doesn’t need a stuntman.”

Lin Xiang’s brow wrinkled up, but before others saw it, he smoothened them out. He felt a little uncomfortable. A little kid didn’t need a stuntman, but him, the adult, needed it. If this got out, he might be a laughing stock. However, the other party was just a child, so he couldn’t make a fuss over a child; he could only be depressed in the heart. Alas, his face appeared a little chilly.

“What’s the matter?” The assistant asked with concern.

Lin Xiang casually said, “The two adults of Lei Ruilin’s family have good genes. I wonder if they will also develop into the entertainment industry.” He had to admit that both men were excellent looking. In the case they entered the entertainment industry, they would definitely be a threat to him. His eyes drifted to Qin Mian and Lei Tie.

Lei Tie seemed to look over inadvertently and his indifferent eyes met Lin Xiang’s line of sight.

Lin Xiang was startled and hastily withdrew his eyes. His heart sank. He was actually suppressed just by a look from the other party.

Because Lin Xiang’s stuntman and Lei Ruilin were both good at martial arts, Chen Yue simply refused to let the martial arts instructor arrange their moves. He let them move at will. It was no big deal to take many shots. After editing, only the brilliant moves would remain.

A total of three takes, about 20 minutes later, Chen Yue called “Cut”.

“This scene is done.” Today’s shooting was still relatively smooth, Chen Yue looked at the watch and generously said, “Eat first. We’ll continue in the afternoon.”

All the staff were relieved.

“Mealtime, come here to get the box meal.”

Lei Ruilin didn’t want to be exceptional. He also took a box meal and ran to his family happily, “Daddy!” After shouting, he asked in a low voice, “Did you see me filming? How did I do today?” The little cocky appearance made people laugh.

“Great.” Qin Mian was generous with praise. He rubbed his son’s head, took out the disposable bowls and disposable cups he had brought, poured two bowls of soup first, and said to his youngest son, “I’ve brought the soup and juice. You take it over and invite everyone to drink.”

Lei Ruilin and his Gege went over carrying barrels, bowls, and cups.

“Thank you for taking care of me. I’ll treat you to soup and juice. My Daddy’s soup and juice are the best.”

Toward a child, especially a cute child, everyone held goodwill; it was hard to refuse. Men all chose to drink soup and women all chose to drink juice. No matter how big the barrel was, it was limited. Only the main members of the crew got the soup and juice.

They just tasted it casually but didn’t expect that with a mouthful of soup or juice, it made them feel that their lips and teeth were fragrant and their spirits were boosted.

Chen Yue finished the soup in one mouthful, then reached out, “Little Ruilin, give me another bowl.”

Li Wanwan, the actress taking the female lead role, also handed her cup to Lei Ruilin. Wanwan was cute and witty, “Little brother, can I have another cup of juice? It’s the first time I’ve had such good juice. Where did your Daddy buy the fruit?”

“I don’t know.” Lei Ruilin said, “Sister Wanwan, if you drink a few more cups, you will become more and more beautiful!”

Everyone laughed.

After drinking three bowls of soup, Chen Yue still wanted to drink it, but he felt sorry for the two little guys who had yet to drink it. He simply drove them away, and when he couldn’t see them, he felt craving.

“Enough, enough. Leave some for Ruiqi and Ruilin and let them go to eat.”

Qin Mian had poured two bowls of soup for his two sons. The family of four sat together to eat. From time to time, they gave each other dishes, making people envious.

Many people were secretly guessing what Qin Mian and Lei Tie came for. That included Li Wanwan. Li Wanwan thought that the family had outstanding bearing, unlike ordinary people. She didn’t feel that Qin Mian and Lei Tie were the same as those who came with interest.
