Outside the tent, a beautiful figure swayed.
Inside the tent, hesitant.
If you say that Zhang Yuan knows nothing about Shu Chang's feelings, you are deceiving yourself.
But there are always two hurdles in his mind that he cannot overcome.
Firstly, there is pressure from the Criminal Law, although it is not much, but he still has a bottom line.
The second is the family background of this girl Shu Chang.
She has no parents and is already lonely. It is really not in line with his moral standards to abandon her when you get tired of playing with her.
For someone like Alyssa Chia who is fun to watch, he doesn't have any psychological burden at all.
But if it was Shu Chang, he would feel burdened, and it was very heavy.
"Although they are both from the Zhang family, the difference between Zhang Yuan and Zhang San is just one character, and the results are completely different."
But no matter how hesitant he is, he can't let the little heroine be turned away in the snow.
Shu Chang waited outside the tent for more than half a minute, and his smiling face gradually became stiff.
The weather was cold, and my heart grew colder. The corners of my mouth slowly drooped, and tears welled up in the corners of my eyes.
But at this moment, the zipper of the tent opened and Zhang Yuan stuck his head out.
Shu Chang's worry turned into joy in an instant and he put on a smile again.
"Come in." Zhang Yuan smiled and pulled Shu Chang, who was bathed in moonlight, into his "bedroom".
The tent provided by the crew is not the kind that can only sleep one person. It is a little bigger and can accommodate two people without being too crowded.
"looking for me?"
Zhang Yuan was afraid that she might encounter difficulties again, so he asked right away.
"Nothing..." Shu Chang glanced to the side: "Just a little cold."
Zhang Yuan blinked.
Although I have a root that is heating up quickly in my crotch, it seems inappropriate to share it.
"Didn't the crew prepare a heater for you?"
In fact, Zhang Yuan also had one, but he was too strong and didn't need it, so he gave it to someone else.
"Xiao Li said her feet were cold, so I lent it to her."
Zhou Xiaoli is the makeup artist lady.
I didn't expect Shu Chang to be the same as me.
But he doesn't need it, and Shu Chang is once again guilty of taking care of others at the expense of himself.
"You, you can't always be like this. You have to think about yourself first when something happens. Be more selfish."
Having said this, Zhang Yuan's tone became more serious.
"No matter who it is, colleagues, friends, even family members and relatives, they are not as important as you. Do you understand?"
He knew that because of his personality, Shu Chang was badly betrayed by his relatives.
"Especially when it comes to money, you must protect yourself." He thought of the other party's voluntary reduction in pay.
"Oh..." Shu Chang nodded gently, but quickly raised his head and looked at him with burning eyes: "But there are always people who are more important than money."
After saying that, she moved towards Zhang Yuan step by step.
The tent was not high, and the two people sat cross-legged inside.
Within a few moves, Shu Chang came close to him, and the distance between them was less than half a meter.
Zhang Yuan quickly supported her shoulders: "But you are more important."
This action also stopped her from moving.
Shu Chang's face suddenly turned bitter and he bit his lips lightly.
"Brother Yuan, I feel like you've been intentionally keeping your distance from me lately."
Zhang Yuan measured the space between them with his eyes.
If you don't maintain it, you will have a negative distance.
"You seem to be avoiding me all the time."
"Is it because of Sister Mita?"
"You and her were having so much fun practicing swordplay, I shouldn't have disturbed you."
Straight A student!
Use your intelligence.
Don’t be like other students and just throw your brain away after the college entrance examination!
"What are you thinking? We are just colleagues."
"Oh." Shu Chang raised the corners of his mouth twice, but quickly suppressed them.
"Brother Yuan, I'm cold." She said it again, then walked around his arms and threw herself into his arms.
Thump, thump, thump…
Zhang Yuan heard a violent heartbeat.
From yourself and from the other person.
How to do?
Where is Teacher Luo Xiang? Waiting online, it’s urgent.
At this extremely critical and fateful moment, Shu Chang in his arms nodded his head and was stunned.
"Brother Yuan, what is that hard thing on your chest? It hurts." Shu Chang asked in confusion.
Zhang Yuan reached into his sweater and took out the "gift" that Cheng Hao had given him.
Shu Chang: ???
"I like to read before going to bed," Zhang Yuan explained.
"Brother Yuan...Brother Yuan, you love studying too much."
Shu Chang was stunned and looked at the book "Criminal Law".
"You watch this before going to bed?"
"Otherwise, as an artist, you must abide by the law, so that you can sleep well." He said righteously.
Shu Chang: ...
Although what Zhang Yuan said made sense, she always felt something was strange.
"Sing, if you're cold, I'll hug you and chat for a while, then go back to your tent and sleep."
After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he hugged her from behind.
Shu Chang leaned his head gently on his arm, as if he was placing a rare treasure, afraid of making a scratch.
"Brother Yuan, do you know that there is a delicious noodle shop near my house?"
"I love strawberry ice cream, how about you?"
"How can tofu pudding be eaten salty?"
"Mooncakes must have five kernels..."
The two of them were sitting very close to each other, talking about trivial daily topics.
No studies, no job, no buying a house or a car, no acting to become famous.
It's all the most boring stuff.
But it was precisely these topics that made Zhang Yuan feel like he was chatting with his relatives.
"It turns out she's not quiet."
Shu Chang doesn't talk much usually, especially compared to her best friend Liu Qianqian, the two of them are like ice and fire.
"It seems that she doesn't talk much because she hasn't found anyone to talk to."
"Brother Yuan, look, this is my cousin, the one you've seen before. She's grown up a bit now. Is she pretty?"
Shu Chang took out a photo from his pocket.
Nowadays, few mobile phones have camera functions. Even if they do, the pixels are low and the photo quality is poor. Most people still use film and paper photos.
At that time, Kodak was still a huge company...
The photo shows Shu Chang's mother and her family. She is in the middle, holding a little girl in each of her hands.
"Look, isn't Juanjuan very beautiful? Maybe she can become a movie star in the future." Shu Chang smiled and touched the figure in the photo.
"Do you like her very much?" "Of course, she's sweet-talking, pretty, and she always follows me around. Of course I like her."
I wonder if she will still like you when she sells you out in the future... Zhang Yuan remained silent and just responded with a smile.
"Changchang, remember, be a little selfish, and yourself is the most important." Zhang Yuan repeated what he had just said.
"But there are always some more important people, aren't there?" Shu Chang turned around and blinked at him.
Zhang Yuan knew that neither of them could convince the other.
After whispering for a long time, the zipper of the tent was opened again.
Zhang Yuan put on his coat and planned to send Shu Chang back to his tent.
The tents for male and female members are located on both sides of the temporary set, just like the male and female dormitories in a university.
Moonlight, snow, and pairs of figures.
Zhang Yuan looked at the white breath exhaled by Shu Chang, which looked like the smoke wafting out of every household at dinner time in the countryside.
"You'd better take the stove back, or you'll catch a cold at night."
"But……"
"Listen to me." Zhang Yuan said in a strong tone, emphasizing it.
Shu Chang lowered his head and smiled, then hummed softly.
The two men came to the tent used by the female staff. Shu Chang walked up and called out a few times.
"Xiao Li, are you asleep?"
No one answered.
I called out a few more times, but still no response.
"Everyone is tired from climbing the snowy mountain today, so they may sleep soundly." Shu Chang turned to look at him: "I can sleep with my coat on, so I won't catch a cold."
"No." Zhang Yuan replied with a frown.
"Brother Yuan, I'm fine... If you're really worried, I can sleep at your place. It will be warmer for two of us."
As she spoke, her voice became softer and softer, until it was almost inaudible, and her cheeks were flushed.
"No." Zhang Yuan said again.
"Brother Yuan, don't worry, I won't tell anyone else..."
"The smell is wrong!" Zhang Yuan interrupted her, raised his nose to sniff, then moved closer to the tent and listened with his ears.
Women are slightly less likely to snore than men, but it is definitely not non-existent.
But the tent was silent. Not to mention noises like snoring and grinding of teeth, even the sound of breathing was very faint.
If it weren't for his hearing ability far exceeding that of ordinary people, he would hardly be able to hear it.
Zhang Yuan looked at Shu Chang in confusion.
"Sing, sing, the stove the crew gave us to keep warm is a charcoal stove, right?"
"Yes, the director said it was inconvenient to get electricity in the mountains, and we would use coal for filming, so he gave us a charcoal stove."
Zhang Yuan thought about it and realized that there were indeed a lot of scenes involving making fire and barbecuing in the snowy mountains, which required the use of charcoal.
It can be used for both shooting and heating, which is quite convenient.
"The charcoal stove will have a faint flame, but this tent is pitch black."
"Maybe they felt it was too hot and turned off the stove?" Shu Chang asked puzzledly.
Zhang Yuan shook his head.
Although Shu Chang's family was not well off, he grew up in the imperial capital and lived in an apartment building.
I have never used a charcoal stove or heated a kang.
So she doesn't understand.
Zhang Yuan didn't bother to explain to her. He just unzipped the tent, and the air inside and outside circulated. A strange smell immediately came out!
"Brother Yuan, won't they catch a cold if you do this?" Shu Chang didn't understand Zhang Yuan's behavior.
"I don't know if they will catch a cold or not, but if I don't do this, they will catch a cold soon!"
Zhang Yuan rushed into the big tent, covered his mouth and nose, carried the women out one by one, and threw them onto the cold snow.
"Changchang, go wake up Director Wang and the other crew members and ask them to bring the oxygen tanks. Quick!"
Shu Chang never doubted his words and did as he said immediately.
Within five minutes, a group of big men came crawling out while putting on their clothes, some with their pants on, some even tripped over their trouser legs.
"What's wrong?" Director Wang said quickly.
Is our crew doing okay?
What happened again?
"Why are they all lying outside? Is this performance art?" He saw six or seven people lying flat on the snow, all with their mouths and eyes closed, their faces blue and their lips purple.
"Hurry up and give him oxygen, the heater is out, carbon monoxide poisoning!"
Zhang Yuan carried out another one and put it on the ground carefully.
"Quick, quick, quick, where is the oxygen tank!" Director Wang was so anxious that he almost jumped up on the spot.
Fortunately, the altitude here is high, and in order to prevent the actors from suffering from altitude sickness, the guide brought a large number of oxygen cylinders up the mountain.
Otherwise, in the middle of the night, once the person was sent down the mountain, there would be no need for rescue. Zhang Yuan called the cook and everyone just had to hold their plastic bags and wait for the meal.
After breathing oxygen one by one, the ten people woke up quickly. Most of them felt dizzy and some vomited, but as time passed, by the time dawned in the east, they were almost all recovered.
Director Wang sat listlessly on a folding chair nearby.
He was counting on his fingers, wondering how many times something had happened in our crew.
Director Wang felt that at this moment, he must be the most unlucky director in the world.
But Zhang Yuan knew that at the same time, on the remote prairie of Inner Mongolia, a director named Ning Hao was shooting a movie called "Green Grassland" at his own expense.
If we were to compare who has more misery or who has had more accidents on the crew, Ning Hao would definitely be able to stand up and say something.
"I'm not targeting anyone, I just want to say that everyone here is a playboy..."
Not long after filming started, the car drove into a ditch. The actress broke her collarbone, the young actor broke his skull, and several of them almost died.
Later, because the signal was poor, the director climbed up high with a satellite phone to find a signal and was almost struck by lightning.
When they were changing scenes halfway through filming, they left the prop master behind and he almost starved to death on the prairie.
In the middle of the night, they lit sheep dung to keep warm and caught fire on the yurt. Not only did the cameraman's eyebrows get burned off, but he also had to pay compensation to the herdsman.
Even so, the investor cut the budget halfway through filming, so Ning Hao had to pay for the film himself and lost all his original capital.
In comparison, the crew of "The Untold Story" is very lucky that everyone is safe and sound so far.
And these two unlucky crews have one thing in common, that is, they both love to shoot live action!
This is the source of many dangers. There are not so many problems when shooting in studios or film and television bases.
The entire crew barely slept all night and morale was low.
Wang Dao ordered that all heaters be removed and not to be used even if they froze to death.
"Brother Yuan?"
Shu Chang came to him with some food, followed by a group of girls from the crew.
"They all said they wanted to thank you, and they will treat you to a meal together when they go down the mountain."
"Of course I have to eat. Carrying you all out here makes me so tired. I need to replenish my energy." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.
"Okay."
"That's a deal!"
"We'll treat you to the best food."
The women started chattering and making plans, and their mood improved a lot.
"Brother Yuan, you are so awesome." Shu Chang showed an admiring look.
"Actually, it's not that I'm so good." Zhang Yuan took out a cigarette and said carefully.
"If you had slept in my tent last night, we wouldn't have gone out."
"If you don't go out, I won't think of bringing the heater back for you."
"If you don't bring back the heater, you won't come outside the tent."
"If you don't come outside the tent, the suona player will have to come to work today."
"So..." Zhang Yuan took out the Criminal Law from his arms.
“How important it is for artists to abide by the law!”
Shu Chang: ...(End of this chapter)
