Chapter 18 Adding Bricks Day 8
Shen Sui's cold recovered quickly, and the fever had subsided completely in the evening, and Lian Mai and his subordinates were dealing with the work tasks that had accumulated throughout the day.
Jin Qing sat at the desk in the bedroom and read the script. He knew everyone's lines in the first dozen pages so well that he could memorize them by heart.
When he saw halfway, Director Zhang, who had just added his contact information a few days ago, sent him a message.
——The candidate to play the Ninth Prince has been confirmed, Jiang Zhu, you have worked together before, so you should be very familiar with it.
——Well, still in touch.
The last time I participated in a variety show and returned to this city, I met Jiang Zhu on the plane, and the other party was still the same, not much changed from when we first met.
——In the play, you have a lot of scenes with each other, so it’s easier if you are acquaintances, and it saves a lot of running-in time.
Director Zhang sent over an emoji package that middle-aged and elderly people love to use in a timely manner. The colorful and green areas are very attractive.
——Auld Lang Syne.jpg
Jin Qing: "...?" He politely found a picture of "Cheers to Friendship".
I feel that Director Zhang is quite satisfied after watching it.
He glanced at the time, he was about to join the group, and he needed to recharge his spirits in advance. He had set the alarm clock for eleven o'clock in the past few days, and was about to put down the script and go to bed at that o'clock.
When I went downstairs to wash in the bathroom, the water flow from the faucet was less than usual, and the clean water flowed into the sink intermittently.
Jin Qing pressed the switch hard, but after it didn't work, he slapped it twice again. The water column that was still stagnant poured out from above, but was blocked and splashed everywhere.
Water dripped from the ends of her hair, slid down her cheeks, and fell to the floor with a patter. Part of it flowed through the collarbone and disappeared into the neckline, soaking the top.
Turning off the faucet in a hurry, Jin Qing closed his eyes tightly, took the towel and pressed it to his face, completely dazed.
After the moisture in his hair was almost dry, he went to the study room and knocked on the door in his half-wet T-shirt.
After opening the door, Shen Sui was explaining the finishing touches. He glanced back at Jin Qing, and saw that Jin Qing's thin, home-friendly T-shirt was wet and transparent, but he hadn't realized it yet.
Shen Sui directly cut off the video with the opposite party, and said something in the voice: "I will deal with the rest when I go back to the company tomorrow." Then he turned off the call.
"Why don't you dry off after taking a shower." The sliding chair under his feet turned around and turned around.
"I didn't take a shower, the faucet was broken." Jin Qing said helplessly, "When I washed my hands, water was spilled everywhere."
A lot of hard-core professional knowledge about repairing faucets flashed through Shen Sui's mind, as if he had done it himself.
"...I seem to be able to fix it."
Jin Qing walked over and patted him on the shoulder, staring at him eagerly, "I know."
***
A few minutes later, Shen Sui stood in front of the faucet and pressed the switch. Before Jin Qing could stop him, water was sprayed all over his face, and he turned off the faucet blankly.
"Wipe your face." Jin Qing handed over the towel, held back his smile, and tried to suppress the corners of his mouth.
Shen Sui took the towel and wiped the side of his face.
"It should be that the inside of the water valve is cracked. Do you have a spare at home?" He turned off the main valve, bent down to look at it, and turned it twice with his hands.
"Yes, it was stored at home before, but it hasn't been used yet." Jin Qing went to the room where the sundries were kept upstairs, and searched the storage box to find tools and a spare water valve.
Shen Sui picked out the wrench and pointed it at the buckle, and took off the old one with two strokes, looking more serious than usual when facing the computer.
The wet hair hung from the corner of his eyes and blocked his sight. He couldn't move his hands and said softly, "Help me."
He didn't make it clear, but Jin Qing also understood what he meant, gently stroked his drooping bangs up, brushed his fingertips over the top of the eyelids, Shen Sui closed his eyes, a little distracted.
Wrap the raw material tape around the interface of the new water valve, and then install it on the water outlet pipe. Shen Sui turned on the switch, and the faucet finally started to discharge water evenly. "Okay."
Jin Qing tried to turn it off and on again, but the situation just now did not recur.
"Thanks a lot."
Shen Sui looked at him teasingly, and wiped the water stains on his face with the back of his hand, "Is there any reward?"
"Reward..." Jin Qing pondered, "I'll give it to you before going to bed."
This sentence is very ambiguous, at least Shen Sui thought wrongly, he was silent for a while, "I was just joking." His face rose unnaturally.
Jin Qing just smiled, "Remember to check your phone before going to bed."
Shen Sui: "?"
Before going to bed at night, Shen Sui's phone rang.
A friend with a smiley profile picture and the note "Qingqing" sent him two messages.
——WeChat transfer 400.00
—— Pay Mr. Shen the plumber's market price (●''●)
There is also an emoticon package that is incompatible with the previous content
"Auld Lang Syne.jpg"
Shen Sui sneered, but the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, and he let out a deep laugh.
……
After the basic actors were settled, it was soon time to enter the group. Although the filming location was local, Director Zhang still asked them to stay in a hotel near the filming station in order to improve the shooting efficiency.
That day, Shen Sui drove him there himself. While waiting for a red light on the road, he looked at the road ahead and mentioned their accommodation inadvertently, "I have checked the hotel you want to stay in, and the environment is average."
"The budget is limited, and the hotel is the closest one nearby, and I've lived in the worse one, I'm used to it." Sometimes the shooting location is set in a deserted place, and their actors even have to live in temporary tents inside.
"Then I'll change the room for you."
Director Zhang is too stingy, he is only willing to book a big bed room for them.
Jin Qing looked at him and smiled, "No, I don't want to be treated differently. The male lead actors are all in the same room as me."
Shen Sui nodded, feeling increasingly displeased with the director.
"There is a parking space at the next intersection, just stop there."
After the car stopped, Jin Qing unbuckled his seat belt, put on his mask, pressed down on the car door, stopped halfway to get out of the car, turned his head and hugged Shen Sui's waist, "Today's hug."
It was inconvenient for Shen Sui to move with the seat belt across his waist. When Jin Qing got up, he pressed the back of his neck and did not let him go. His eyes fell on his white earlobes, and he said softly: "I haven't seen you for a few days. , you can advance the next share in advance.”
The skin under his hand is warm and feels very good to the touch, Shen Sui gently massaged it twice.
Jin Qing raised his head, "It's so itchy." But he didn't move.
Shen Sui let go and leaned over to help him open the car door over there.
"After I join the group, remember to reply to my message." Jin Qing instructed him.
Shen Sui's tone was light, "When did I not return?"
"After I transferred the money to you last time, you didn't reply to me." Just collected the money.
"...I'll pay attention next time."
Jiang Zhu, who played the Ninth Prince, arrived on the set earlier than him and was already preparing for makeup. His hair needed to be combed up and tied tightly before he put on a wig.
"Take it easy, and be careful with my hairline." Jiang Zhu looked at his hairstyle in the mirror, feeling extremely distressed at the already precarious hairline.
After seeing Jin Qing, he couldn't help complaining, "If I shoot a few more costume dramas, my hairline won't be able to watch."
"Okay, I'll be lighter, is this strength okay?" The man in charge of putting on makeup for him was a male makeup artist, wearing a hairstyle designed by Mr. Tony himself, wearing a scarf around his neck, and Jiang Zhu comforted him nicely, "You The foundation is good, the hairstyle is not a big problem, don't worry too much about the hairline, it doesn't matter if you are bald."
After all, what he meant by this sentence was that he also felt that Jiang Zhu was a little bald.
Jiang Zhu shut up, turned the mirror left and right, and sighed again.
"Jin Qing." Qiu Li and him came to the set.
Originally, the two were going to come together, but after knowing Mr. Shen was going to send Jin Qing off, Qiu Li was forced to come to the set alone.
"The makeup artist is ready, you put on your makeup first, and the makeup photos will be taken later. However, I heard that there is a small problem in the crew, and the overall shooting progress may be delayed for half a day."
"What happened?"
Qiu Li expressed dissatisfaction very bluntly, "What else could it be? The director team decided to change actors temporarily, and Director Zhang got angry there. An investor is going to insert his family's one, and the role is not too important. Zhang No matter how much the director doesn’t like this kind of thing, he can’t help it.” There will always be such things in the circle that everyone tacitly knows.
Jin Qing has never been very interested in these things, so he stopped asking, but Qiu Li obviously wanted to find someone to share the gossip with, so she continued without waiting for his response: "There are a lot of people who are not well-known. Being late, it’s really hard to have a financial backer. Director Zhang can’t rub the sand in his eyes, and he doesn’t know how to target him in the future. By the way, you should know this person. I forgot that you guys went to bed together last time Variety show."
"Oh."
Qiu Li was puzzled, "Aren't you curious?"
Jin Qing could only cooperate to reveal some doubts, "Who is it?"
"Guan Shaoze." Qiu Li lowered her voice, "On the Internet, people say that he looks like you. It's just that he has a bad vision. Who is disgusting? Remember to stay away from him and don't get entangled by him."
"I don't know him well." Jin Qing said helplessly.
"It's fine if you're not familiar with it. Well, go and put on your makeup. I'll take a photo for you and post it on Weibo. If you don't post all day long, fans are urging me to come here."
Qiu Li searched for a good angle, and deliberately picked Jin Qing's best-looking side face. After taking the photo, she sat on the sofa and concentrated on editing the picture.
She sighed, "Forget about your posting on Weibo, I will take all your photos from now on, so you can post them without retouching." She quickly tapped her finger on the phone screen a few times.
I came here once during the director's period, chatted with him a few words, and discussed the details of the makeup with the makeup artist, and then left after everything was finalized.
About an hour late, Guan Shaoze didn't arrive until Director Zhang was about to get angry and curse in public.
"Sorry, I'm late, everyone has been waiting for a long time." He bowed.
Seeing that his attitude was not bad, Director Zhang snorted, not making things difficult.
Guan Shaoze's assistant divided the snacks and drinks he had brought with him, and his mouth was so sweet that it made several actors who were not well-faced to smile back.
"Ms. Jin, you have a drink." The assistant handed him a drink.
Jin Qing nodded politely, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, I should do it." The little assistant was a little moved. She didn't say thank you when she delivered drinks to other people, most of them didn't give her a good face at first.
Qiu Li put away the drink for him, "Don't drink this kind of drink with high sugar content. Well, the assistant is quite good at doing things, but the artist himself is not very good." She still had a bad impression of Guan Shaoze, her mouth It is also merciless.
