Chapter 303 The crew has a good atmosphere
"From the way you two are acting, it seems like Teacher Jiang is going to leave tomorrow and not come back."
Everyone couldn't help laughing after hearing what Tang Sinian said. Zhao Long was thick-skinned and looked cheerful, but Qian Shuyun was a girl and she would definitely feel embarrassed if someone said that to her.
Jiang Mubai explained for her, "It's okay. I'm not really hungry anyway. It's interesting to chat with your screenwriter. Although she is usually serious, you can really learn a lot from her."
"I see, Mr. Jiang, you should eat something too. Otherwise, I've already stood up to speak for you and you don't give me the face to eat something to deal with it. Wouldn't that be very embarrassing for me?"
Everyone was amused by Tang Sinian's words again. Jiang Mubai also looked like she couldn't help laughing. She picked up a piece of vegetables with chopsticks and waved it towards Tang Sinian, indicating that she was eating to give him face.
Tang Sinian closed his mouth in satisfaction after seeing this. With his interruption, the dinner table suddenly became lively and everyone was no longer as reserved as at the beginning.
After Tang Sinian spoke up for them, Qian Shuyun and Zhao Long did not talk to Jiang Mubai in the second half. Jiang Mubai himself was happy to be alone.
Seeing that Jiang Mubai finally had the chance to enjoy delicious food, Tang Sinian smiled with satisfaction and went to chat with the actor next to him.
Wen Nuohan sat opposite Jiang Mubai. She felt envious when she saw Jiang Mubai being held and taken care of. She felt that Jiang Mubai's radiance was so strong that she couldn't help but want to get closer, but she was afraid of being burned.
So Wen Nuohan was very conflicted. She wanted to be someone like Jiang Mubai and be noticed by people around him. She returned to China before in order to win back Cheng Yunchuan, so she agreed to enter the entertainment industry. But when she really entered, she began to change her mind.
She saw her photos being followed, forwarded and viewed by so many people, and that her dog would secretly take photos of her every time she went out. She slowly began to enjoy the feeling of being watched by others.
In her eyes, Jiang Mubai is such a person, so Wen Nuohan wants to become as powerful as Jiang Mubai, hoping to be sought after and paid attention to by more people.
Jiang Mubai felt a pair of eyes staring at her. When she looked back, she found that no one was looking at her. She suspected it was her illusion.
Wen Nuohan had already looked away when she looked up. She didn't want Jiang Mubai to know her thoughts. She wanted to work hard in secret and slowly achieve her goal.
Jiang Mubai was infected by the atmosphere at the dinner table and was unable to leave early. During the intermission, everyone was chatting and Jiang Mubai was sitting there listening to others. Tang Sinian came to Jiang Mubai with a few people holding a cup.
Jiang Mubai knew what they meant when he saw them like this. Tang Sinian was the first to speak, "Teacher Jiang, thank you for your guidance this afternoon. If it weren't for you, we would definitely be stuck there and couldn't act anymore. This is my first time filming a movie. If you didn't come to guide me, I would be really afraid of being hit and never dare to film again."
The people behind Tang Sinian echoed him one after another. Their meaning was generally the same as Tang Sinian's, and they all came to thank Jiang Mubai for his guidance.
"Teacher Jiang, this is a toast to you."
Jiang Mubai stood up from his seat with the cup in hand, "You're welcome. I'm your senior and it's my duty to take care of you. I'm very touched by your actions. I'll accept this cup, but we still have to shoot tomorrow so please drink less, otherwise you'll have a headache if you get drunk."
"Teacher Jiang, don't worry. Our quilts are filled with drinks."
Seeing them say that, Jiang Mubai nodded and drank the water in the cup. Seeing that she drank so readily, everyone finished it and returned to their seats.
When Jiang Mubai sat down at her seat, she saw Tang Sinian and a few others walking towards her. She was surprised. Could there be a second toast?
When she was hesitating whether to get up, Tang Sinian and his men passed her and came to Zhao Long. Jiang Mubai knew that they were here to toast the director.
With Tang Sinian's leading action, other actors in the crew followed suit. In one night, Jiang Mubai drank seven or eight glasses of wine offered to him by others.
When Jiang Mubai left the table, the group of young actors were still making a fuss. If the assistant director hadn't said that there would be filming tasks tomorrow, they might have continued to make noise until dawn.
The restaurant was not far from the hotel where they were staying. Zhao Long drank differently from Jiang Mubai. When others came to toast him, his glass was filled with real wine, so he was already dizzy after drinking more than a dozen glasses of wine.
Seeing that his face and neck were as red, Jiang Mubai asked someone to send him back to the hotel to rest. The rest of the people either didn't drink or were not drunk, so they all left the restaurant in a mighty group and walked all the way back to the hotel, treating it as a walk to digest the food.
Qian Shuyun and Jiang Mubai walked side by side in the middle of the crowd. She looked at the young actors in the group who were playing and walking in a casual manner in front of her, and a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.
Qian Shuyun caught her eyes and said, "I envy them too. It's great to be young!"
Jiang Mubai turned his head and looked at her. "You're not old, okay? You're only seven or eight years older than us, so why do you speak like an old person?"
"You are young in body but old in heart. When I was their age, I didn't walk properly. Now I can't do that anymore. If I continue to do that, people will think I am crazy. You are only three or four years older than them. Why are you envious of those who are worse than me?"
"If I were to walk like them, people would misunderstand me."
Qian Shuyun thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. "That's right. A top star and a movie queen, if you were secretly photographed walking on the street like this, this would be considered as black material, right? It gives people a very unstable feeling. If the director and screenwriter saw it, they would think you are not qualified for the role."
Qian Shuyun sighed after he finished speaking, "You have it even harder than us. You must feel uncomfortable working under flashing lights all day long and having your every move seen and watched by others."
"Fortunately, this is the characteristic of the actor's profession. I'm used to it anyway. They are still young and can keep this freedom. I hope they can continue to do so as they stay in the industry for a long time."
"I hope so. Before I joined the crew, I thought it would be boring, but after meeting everyone today, I found it's actually quite good. It's more interesting than any other crew I've been in before. It doesn't feel like I'm here to work, but more like hanging out with friends."
"I never dreamed that I would be able to walk on the street with the queen of film. This is really too dreamy. Normally I would have a meal with the actors, but this is the first time I have had this experience. You are really down to earth."
"Hahahaha, I'm just an ordinary person. I can do the same things you can do. You just think too highly of me. I'm actually the same as you. I'll order takeout at home, stay in bed in the morning, and go days without washing my hair."
Tang Sinian followed Jiang Mubai and Qian Shuyun silently and listened to their conversation. He originally wanted to go up and talk to Jiang Mubai, but when he saw how happy she was with the screenwriter, he suddenly couldn't bear to go up and disturb them.
