After leaving Dragon Film City, Wang Hao took the two girls and headed back to Kaiyue Hotel.
Today really had gone quite smoothly. Sure, coming out to help was a minor thing, but scouting Lan Fenghuang had been a major coup–he remembered the production team was always distressed about not being able to find the right actor, hehe.
Looking at Liu Xueyan’s figure and face, she was perfect–still not famous, so the payment for her role wouldn’t be high. Perfect!
Driving his beloved Maserati president, Wang Hao went on a wild ride on the road. Just then, a man at the roadside caught his eye. About twenty-four or twenty-five years old, the young man had a small braid and was smoking a cigarette while flirting with a girl.
“Hey? Isn’t that Big Battery?” Wang Hao slowed down and took a closer look, “It really is!”
“Brother Hao, you know this guy?” Xia Xueqi looked over and then said, “He looks pretty trendy, but why call him Big Battery?”
“This guy’s real name is Sun Jian Country, but back in University, a story led us to nickname him Big Battery,” Wang Hao drove over and continued, “During our school days, this guy was always flirting with our classmates, and even more than a year after graduation, he’s still at it, haha.”
Soon they parked the car, and Wang Hao got out to greet him, “Big Battery! Big Battery!”
“Who’s calling me?” Sun Jian Country turned his head from flirting with the girl, and on seeing Wang Hao, he paused and exclaimed, “Holy shit, Brother Hao! What wind blew you over here? Been doing well lately?”
He smiled and waved at the girl, then walked over to Wang Hao, giving him an up-down look, and exclaimed in surprise, “Nice, Brother Hao, it’s been over a year, and you’ve got a Maserati now? Hey, that license plate’s not bad either!”
“Ah, it’s okay,” Wang Hao scratched his head shyly, “Speaking of which, it’s been more than a year. What have you been up to?”
Since they were University classmates and had lived in opposite dorms for three and a half years, Wang Hao felt quite close on seeing him.
“I’ve just been the same as usual,” Sun Jian Country took out a cigarette and lit one for Wang Hao, saying, “Recently, I’ve been investing in a gaming arcade with a buddy, making some money to spend. How about it, Brother Hao, come by my place when you’re free to show some support?”
“Sure thing, no problem,” Wang Hao nodded immediately, “Where’s it at?”
“Just search for Diamond Entertainment City on Baidu maps. I’ll send you the location,” Sun Jian Country chuckled while clapping Wang Hao on the shoulder, “You’re doing so well now. Make sure you come by to support!”
“Of course, definitely!” Wang Hao waved at Sun Jian Country, got in the car, and said, “Then I’ll be off to get busy. If there’s nothing up, I’ll come by tomorrow.”
“Alright, we’ll keep in touch by phone!”
Once they were back in the car, Xia Xueqi asked with a smile, “Brother Hao, he seems pretty worldly.”
“He sure is,” Wang Hao drove while laughing, “A brilliant guy–I could rely on him for almost anything during school days! ”
“That amazing,” laughed Xia Xueqi, nodding, then asked, “By the way, Brother Hao, why is he called Big Battery?”
“That’s got a story to it!” Wang Hao started to laugh, “It’s a bit naughty, actually.”
“A bit naughty?” Xia Xueqi got even more curious, playfully urging, “Come on, tell me about it, Brother Haoge! Brother Hao!”
That whispering voice, oh, it gave me the goosebumps!
“Actually, it’s because during University he dated this girl,” Wang Hao drove and laughed, “That was fine, we all thought it was good, but who knew, his girlfriend’s desires were pretty strong.”
“And then?” Xia Xueqi widened her eyes, “What does that have to do with the battery?”
“And then he just couldn’t satisfy her,” Wang Hao’s laughter grew, “One night, the girl wanted it three times, and he couldn’t keep up. He scrounged up a vibrator and told her to sort herself out. Then, lo and behold, it ran out of battery! So he went out in the middle of the night to buy batteries for her, and that nickname just stuck.”
Xia Xueqi and Liu Xueyan were absolutely floored!
These days, there are all sorts of people around…
“Man,” exclaimed Xia Xueqi, “the world is indeed full of wonders!”
Wang Hao chuckled, “Hehe, that’s true!”
They soon were back with the production team; Director Yang was directing the crew in filming.
Today’s scene was about the opening sequence where Fuwei Escort Agency gets wiped out–it was an off-script scene because the main characters hadn’t yet appeared, so it wasn’t very important, and everyone was quite relaxed. The entire site was set up with tracks, several horses were rented, and some idle actors were on the side, cracking seeds and joking. Lv Junyou was holding a script and flipping through it non-stop.
“Director Yang, I’m back,” Wang Hao shouted from a distance, “Busy?”
“Back, eh?” Director Yang put down his work, stood up, stretched, and said, “Day after day, been sitting here all morning, my back and legs ache.” Then he yelled to everyone, “Everyone, take a break for a bit, gather your thoughts, then we’ll continue after a while.”
“Tired, Director Yang?” Wang Hao approached with Liu Xueyan, “I went out for a spin today and happened to discover an actress that’s not bad. What do you think about her, Director Yang?”
“This one?” Yang Shoulin circled around Liu Xueyan, his eyes brightening more and more, then he hurriedly grabbed a screenplay, looked it over carefully, and exclaimed, “Good job, Little Wang! This actress really matches the description of Lan Fenghuang!”
