Chapter 159: Quality is more important than quantity
"Everything is based on your current work in the crew."
As a director himself, Director Wu doesn't want his actors to take leave at will, and he agrees with Qin Yao's words.
Director Wu finished speaking, and just when Qin Yao thought he would hang up the phone soon, he continued, "Yaoyao, Mr. Zhan is the biggest investor in our play, and we hope he can attend such a big event as the celebration banquet.
I called his company and his secretary said he was on vacation and couldn't get in touch with him. I wonder if you can get in touch with Mr. Zhan and ask him to come to the celebration party next Saturday night."
"I will pass on your invitation to him."
"Thank you."
Director Wu said happily: "If Miss Qin can meet Mr. Zhan, please say good things and invite him to our celebration banquet."
"Ok."
Qin Yao agreed, exchanged a few words with Director Wu, and then hung up the phone.
Putting away the phone, Qin Yao came to Zhan Tingxiu's door. He knocked on the door with his fingers and it was opened from the inside.
"Yaoyao, you're here, the food is ready."
When Qin Yao walked into the room, he saw that the table in the living room was filled with various seafood, the most eye-catching of which was the giant Australian lobster placed in the middle.
"This is truly a seafood feast. It's such a big table. How can the two of us finish it?"
Sitting down at the dining table, Qin Yao said in surprise.
Because of her practice, she was not afraid of getting fat, nor did she care about her image as a girl. She would eat as much as she wanted, but this preparation was indeed a bit too much.
"It's okay, we can eat as much as we can, and give the rest to the hotel staff."
"You are such a generous boss."
Qin Yao said as he put on disposable gloves, picked up a spicy crayfish and started eating.
Zhan Tingxiu watched Qin Yao eating happily, put on disposable gloves, and began to peel shrimps for her. Soon, a bowl of shrimp meat appeared in the bowl in front of her.
"Don't just peel shrimp for me, eat some yourself."
As Qin Yao spoke, he peeled a piece of shrimp and handed it directly to Zhan Tingxiu's mouth.
Zhan Tingxiu looked at the shrimp in front of him with surprise, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should open his mouth.
"Eat, what are you standing there for? If you don't want to eat, I'll eat it myself."
As Qin Yao was about to put the shrimp in her hand into her mouth, Zhan Tingxiu quickly opened his mouth and ate the shrimp, but he was too fast and his teeth accidentally bit her finger.
Zhan Tingxiu's bite was not heavy, but it made both of them feel a little uncomfortable.
Qin Yao withdrew his hand and gently rubbed the bitten area with his thumb, a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
Thinking of the call from Director Wu, he broke the silence and said, "Director Wu said that our movie is a big hit at the box office, and he will hold a celebration banquet next Saturday night, and he wants to invite the two of us to attend.
Director Wu called your company and your secretary said you were on vacation and they couldn't contact you, so they wanted me to pass on the message."
"Are you going?" Zhan Tingxiu asked with concern.
"I still have to see the progress of the filming here. I will discuss it with Director Bai tomorrow before deciding on the schedule."
Understanding the reason why Zhan Tingxiu asked about his schedule, Qin Yao said seriously: "This is the first movie I have ever shot. I am very happy that it has achieved such good results. If possible, I really want to go and see it..."
Zhan Tingxiu smiled and said, "Then let's go together."
"What about the filming on the crew's side?" Qin Yao asked in difficulty.
"The celebration party will be next Saturday night. At most, we only need to take half a day off on Saturday afternoon. With your shooting speed, this little vacation time will definitely be no problem."
At this point, Zhan Tingxiu saw that Qin Yao was hesitant to speak, so he smiled and said, "It is my job as an agent to communicate with the crew. I will go and talk to Director Bai tomorrow. You just need to wait and attend the banquet happily."
"it is good."
It feels really good to have someone help you solve a problem. Qin Yao was in a good mood and peeled another shrimp and put it to Zhan Tingxiu's mouth.
This time, Zhan Tingxiu controlled his strength and did not bite her fingers again. Qin Yao felt a little disappointed about this.
Realizing what he was thinking, Qin Yao did not show it on his face, but sighed secretly in his heart.
She was becoming less and less able to resist Zhan Tingxiu, which was not a good sign, but she wanted to get close to him...
The crew was missing the leading male role and the supporting female role, so Director Bai had someone replace them with a new female actress the next day. As for the leading male role, his injury was not serious, so he only had to stay in the hospital for two days for observation, and he could resume filming after the wound on his head healed.
The leading male role had a lot of scenes, and it would take too much time to reshoot everything, so Director Bai didn't change the actor in the end.
It was all for the filming, and Qin Yao didn't care who she worked with. What she didn't expect was that the leading female role turned out to be Pei Yanran.
Having not heard from her in recent days, Qin Yao almost forgot about this person. Unexpectedly, they would meet on the set one day.
Pei Yanran still had the air of a young lady. Not only did she come to the crew in a luxurious sports car, she was also accompanied by several assistants and bodyguards, as if she was afraid that others didn't know how rich she was.
"Qin Yao, did you ever think that one day we would appear in the same crew?"
Taking off her sunglasses, Pei Yanran looked at Qin Yao proudly.
"I really didn't expect that the newcomer would be you." Tan Yao said coldly, "This is a film crew. Put away your ladylike manners. No one will pamper you here."
"you……"
Pei Yanran was so angry that she wanted to curse, then she smiled smugly and said, "Qin Yao, although you are more famous than me now, I heard that you only signed a contract with an unknown new company, and you only have an assistant and a driver with you..."
Seeing the arrogance in Pei Yanran's eyes, Qin Yao sneered: "Only useless people need to be followed by many nannies. I have good hands and feet and can do everything by myself. Why should I arrange so many nannies around me?"
Pei Yanran was furious when Qin Yao called her a waste. However, she thought that they were on the set and there were many people watching them. She tried to suppress her anger and sneered.
"Qin Yao, just keep pretending to be stubborn. I think you just don't have any money."
With the money that Zhan Tingxiu helped him to defraud from the Yun and Zhan families, if Qin Yao now admitted that he was a poor person, there would be few rich people in the world.
Although she had no idea how powerful the Pei family was, she could get a glimpse of it just by looking at Pei Yanran's nouveau riche appearance.
As the saying goes, wealth should not be shown off. Qin Yao did not want to show off how rich he was, but the moment he turned around and saw Zhan Tingxiu getting out of the car, he smiled instantly.
"Pei Yanran, haven't you heard the saying that quality is more important than quantity?"
Qin Yao's words obviously had something else in mind. Pei Yanran frowned and asked, "Qin Yao, what do you mean by that?"
