Chapter 320 Treating the Crew to Dinner
"And we all like your movies, Director Zhang, so we especially welcome you to come and have a chance to talk to you and get to know you."
Everyone knows that this is just a polite remark, but if it is said beautifully, it is a way of giving face.
Zhang Yi and Jiang Mubai were present during the afternoon shoot, and the process went smoothly and efficiency was significantly improved.
Zhao Long was really happy when he saw this. "It's different now that Director Zhang is here. They are all working harder than before. Director Zhang is still very popular."
When Jiang Mubai heard Zhao Long say this, she knew he was about to start again.
The afternoon shooting was completed ahead of schedule, and Jiang Mubai booked a restaurant to invite the entire crew to dinner.
Wen Nuohan didn't go, she was pulled away by her agent.
Qian Shuyun and others naturally noticed that Wen Nuohan did not give Jiang Mubai face.
Qian Shuyun came up to Jiang Mubai and said, "It's better that she didn't come. If you ask me, she didn't come because she was embarrassed. If they don't come, it will save us money. It's great!"
Zhang Yi was sitting nearby and heard Qian Shuyun's words. He knew who Qian Shuyun was talking about.
Jiang Mubai invited everyone to dinner today mainly for two reasons. The first was to welcome Zhang Yi to visit their crew, and the other was that she was planning to return from the crew.
Zhao Long was shocked when he heard the news. "Why are you leaving for no reason? Did we neglect you in some way?"
"No, I still have work to do so I have to go back. Now that the filming is on track, I can no longer play a role here. Besides, the work over there is also very urgent so I have to rush back to deal with it."
Seeing Jiang Mubai say this, Zhao Long didn't know how to try to keep her. After all, she also had work to deal with and wouldn't really stay here with them to finish filming the movie.
"So when will you leave the crew?"
"Wait a few days, and then leave with Director Zhang. I'll take his car back."
Everyone felt very sorry to hear that Jiang Mubai could no longer work with them.
Especially Tang Sinian, his eyes were dull and lifeless. He sat alone with his head down eating without talking to anyone. His image this time was completely different from the last time the crew had a dinner together.
Tang Sinian knew that if Jiang Mubai left here, the chances of them meeting each other in the future would become much less, and he might even only be able to see news about Jiang Mubai on the Internet.
He now deeply regretted being so cold to Jiang Mubai. In the past few days, he also felt that Jiang Mubai and all the actors in the crew, both men and women, were deliberately keeping a distance from them.
Tang Sinian knew that their actions made Jiang Mubai sad, and he really didn't know what to do now. He wanted to find Jiang Mubai to explain but didn't know how to start.
Jiang Mubai was chatting with others, so naturally he had no idea what was going on in Tang Sinian's mind as he sat opposite him.
After eating and drinking, everyone slowly retreated. Before leaving, they did not forget to thank Jiang Mubai for inviting them to the restaurant for dinner.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. We enjoyed the meal very much. I'm sorry to have cost you money."
"As long as you are happy."
Qian Shuyun and Jiang Mubai were walking in front. She couldn't see the road clearly and kept turning her head to look behind her.
Jiang Mubai couldn't help himself when he saw her like this, "Watch your way! I won't help you if you fall. If you're curious about what they are talking about, you can join them. Don't worry about me, I can walk alone."
Behind Jiang Mubai, Zhao Long held Zhang Yi and kept talking about the movie. Zhang Yi, because he took care of Jiang Mubai in the crew, patiently answered all the questions Zhao Long encountered during the filming.
"I seemed to hear them talking about movies. I didn't understand the scenes and other professional terms. I couldn't get a word in, so I decided to forget it."
Qian Shuyun couldn't help but look back after he finished speaking. "I noticed that Director Zhao's smile never faded. It looked like he was having a great time chatting with Director Zhang. He must have learned a lot!"
"Your teacher is a really nice person. He answers all your questions without hiding anything. It's rare to find such a person."
"Well, he likes people who work hard and seriously, so he is happy when others ask him questions."
"I envy you! You have such a good relationship with Director Zhang and you are also his apprentice. No wonder others say you are so lucky."
“Hahahahahaha, this is the first time I’ve heard of it.”
"Think about it yourself. You're a movie queen who's beautiful, talented, and rich. Your boyfriend is also handsome and rich, a good match for you. And you have so many great friends in the industry. How can others not envy you?"
Jiang Mubai thought about it carefully and found that he did have the capital to make others envy him.
"Of course I know that these are the results of your hard work, but I'm still so envious!"
The two of them joked all the way back to the hotel. Qian Shuyun knew that Jiang Mubai wanted to talk to Zhang Yi, so she didn't keep pestering Jiang Mubai.
Zhao Long kept pestering Zhang Yi at the hotel entrance, and it looked like he wanted to pull him to his room to continue chatting.
Qian Shuyun secretly sighed that Director Zhao had no tact, so she stood up and made an excuse that there was some problem with the script and wanted to discuss it with Zhao Long.
Seeing Zhao Long being taken away by Qian Shuyun, Zhang Yi came to Jiang Mubai and praised him: "Your screenwriter is quite perceptive. She is a smart kid. You have a good relationship with her in the crew, right?"
"Well, when I was revising the script, I thought she was amazing, so I thought I must get to know her when I come to the crew. She's a very nice person, too."
"I can see that. She was even speaking up for you and comforting you at the dinner table just now."
"Let's go, we finally have time to talk alone."
Jiang Mubai invited Zhang Yi to his room. Zhang Yi sat down on the sofa alone. Jiang Mubai sat on the chair in front of the desk and looked in the direction of Zhang Yi.
"Teacher, what do you think of our movie?"
"It's pretty good. Director Zhao does have some ability, but it's not sophisticated enough. However, his ability is still good among the directors in the circle. There's no big problem with your movie."
Jiang Mubai knew that what her master said was very pertinent, so she was not worried when she heard him say that.
"I heard about you and Cheng Yunchuan. The teacher is here to congratulate you two."
"Teacher, don't you blame me for not telling you?"
"I don't care about these. You must have your own plans. The teacher should support your decision at this time instead of blaming you for hiding it from me."
"I knew it was right to recognize you as my master."
"Don't take what those netizens say to heart. They are just a bunch of people who like to watch the fun and spread rumors and make up stories. We shouldn't bother with them. The more they say this, the more they hate to see you do well."
"I know, teacher. I am stronger than you think. Their words have no effect on me, don't worry."
"That actress is also filming with you, right? If you don't like getting along with her, you'd better leave here as soon as possible. Out of sight, out of mind."
Jiang Mubai knew that he was talking about Wen Nuohan. "We haven't spoken to each other since then. She didn't take the initiative to help me clarify, so we can't say anything."
