A large group of people bustled around for a full half hour after getting out of their cars before finally finishing up, and what had been a perfectly good ancient-themed film set suddenly looked like a theme hotel—a martial heroes-themed room!
"Brother Hui, everything is ready!" After all the arrangements were made, one of the lead assistants approached the door of the last car and respectfully said, "Everything has been arranged according to your wishes, you can come out now."
"Um, good." A slightly deep voice came from the car, and then Wang Hao saw a young man in a black suit, with a small parted hairstyle, and wearing large sunglasses step down from the car!
Was this really the big star Wang Yinghui?
Wang Hao was absolutely dumbfounded—this car could almost rival the President of the United States in terms of grandeur!
"Yinghui, you’re finally here," regardless, the man had arrived. Yang Shoulin hurried over and said, "Oh, it really wasn’t easy, hurry, hurry, the crew is all ready, shall we start now?"
"Alright," Wang Yinghui nodded and said, "I’ll go change my clothes and get styled."
"Go, go," Yang Shoulin couldn’t worry about anything else, it was already noon and soon time for lunch: "Change quickly, let’s try to get it in one shot, everyone also stay focused."
Wang Yinghui looked around and nodded, "Okay. By the way, has the water I requested been delivered yet?"
Wang Hao listened, completely baffled—Water? What water?
"Ah? This..." When he heard this, Yang Shoulin hesitated momentarily and said with a forced smile, "I’m truly sorry, but we don’t have that water for sale around here..."
It wasn’t really a big deal. According to Wang Hao’s thoughts, for drinking water, a water dispenser would suffice, or in the worst case scenario buying some bottled spring water would do.
However, Wang Yinghui nearly jumped upon hearing Director Yang’s words!
"Not for sale?!" Wang Yinghui shouted loudly, "No Evian, what am I supposed to drink when I’m thirsty? How do you expect me to act without it?!"
Wang Hao stood by, completely slack-jawed!
Evian? Was it really that imported Evian mineral water from France?
Talk about being refined, this Wang Yinghui insisted on drinking only Evian?
Refusing any other water? Can’t even film without Evian?
"We really don’t sell it here," seeing Wang Yinghui’s discontent, Yang Shoulin was really anxious and kept soothing him, "How about you start filming? I will immediately order the production manager, Mr. Zhang Qiang, to go buy it for you, would that be okay? By tomorrow morning at the latest, you will have Evian mineral water!"
You could say that Director Yang had shown real sincerity, indeed, being the major director of the crew, and still talking so calmly to Wang Yinghui was really giving him face.
Wang Hao could see from the side, Director Yang’s hand trembling slightly, clearly suppressing his anger in the interest of the bigger picture.
At times , a normal person would just take the hint and let it slide, right?
But clearly, Wang Yinghui was not going to comply!
"Director Yang," a middle-aged assistant, who was over forty and the one who had earlier asked Wang Yinghui to get out of the car, hummed, "Our young master will absolutely not work until his living conditions are met. Either you send someone to buy the water now and deliver it within an hour, or we’ll call it a day today and wait till tomorrow when there’s water, okay?"
This old guy looked extremely sleazy, every wrinkle on that face exuding a ruffian air, no acting needed to make him seem a hundred times more annoying than the character Luo Renjie played by Lv Junyou.
"Ah? You need it right now?!" Yang Shoulin visibly hesitated, then turned to look at the other members of the crew and said frowningly: "Look, everyone here in the crew has been busy all morning. If we don’t shoot at all and just send everyone home, I might be the big director but I won’t be able to explain it!"
Wang Hao watched, absolutely dumbfounded.
This guy really deserved a slap—halting shooting because of no water? And forcing the director to have it delivered within an hour?!
"I don’t care!" Wang Yinghui showed no regard for Director Yang, turned around, and walked back toward his car: "Let’s talk about it when the water arrives. I’m going back to the car to rest for a bit, call me when it’s ready. It’s so hot outside, I’m all sweaty. Li, turn the air conditioning up in the car. Oh by the way, do you have WIFI? If there’s no WIFI, let’s go to a place that has WIFI to rest, I always feel uncomfortable using 4G."
He really just said it and did it, not giving Director Yang a chance.
Wang Yinghui and his entourage got into the car, and after he left, a bunch of people gathered around.
Though a hundred times displeased, no one present dared to say anything.
This situation had escalated to a point none had expected.
"Director Yang, what should we do?" The production manager, Mr. Zhang Qiang, came over and asked quietly: "Shall we just endure it? I’ll go get the water now, the boxed lunches have already been delivered, they’re over there at the food truck, Director Yang, why don’t you have something to eat first, we’ll see to the rest after I bring the water, how about that?"
"Let’s have lunch!" Yang Shoulin clenched his teeth and then gestured with a wave of his hand: "Everyone take a break first, we’re all pretty hungry having worked till now. Let’s fill our stomachs first."
So, everyone started to eat.
Just then, Lan Qinglong took out his phone to scroll through Weibo, and after just a glance, he was completely stunned!
