Chapter 20 Action
Let’s talk about upstairs first and then downstairs.
After watching the two female leads leave, Bao Qiang said shamefacedly: "Brother Kun, it's all my fault for being too loud just now."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that this might not be a bad thing, so he tried to persuade them again: "I think we should just forget it. Otherwise, if they spread what they just heard, the crew will definitely suspect us."
"What are you afraid of!"
Xu Kun said disapprovingly: "As long as we are careful and don't leave obvious evidence, it doesn't matter if we are suspected. Besides, they have no relationship with the people of Hong Kong Island, so they may not wade into this mess."
Seeing that Baoqiang was still trying to persuade him, Xu Kun waved his hand and said, "We are not going to cut him into pieces. We just want to beat him up to vent our anger. If you are afraid, I will do it myself..."
"Brother Kun, I listen to you!"
Seeing that Xu Kun was going to leave him alone again, Baoqiang quickly expressed his determination.
…………
Although he had made up his mind to take action, Xu Kun was not in a hurry. The next day, he took Baoqiang to do chores for the crew, just like usual.
evening.
Everyone's scenes had been shot, except for the last three scenes of Su Youpeng and Niu Mengmeng. Only then did Xu Kun and Bao Qiang quietly leave the filming site and return to the guesthouse.
Xu Kun handed the cell phone to Baoqiang and asked him to guard the stairs on the fourth floor, and told him to pretend to talk loudly on the phone if anything unexpected happened.
Then Xu Kun used a wire to poke open the door lock of Ah Hao's room - he had learned this skill in his previous life but had never put it into practice. Fortunately, the door lock of the old guesthouse was not complicated and he successfully opened it without much effort.
After going in and observing the situation, Xu Kun took off his shoes, stepped on the head of the bed, reached out to hold up the asbestos ceiling, and then poured the mineral water bottle he brought up through the gap in the ceiling.
Dirty water mixed with floating dust flowed down from the ceiling, spreading across the sheets, quilts and pillows, leaving a large, glaring stain.
This bed belongs to Ah Hao's roommate. If it happened a few days ago, the roommate would have to call the waiter to replace the bed with a new three-piece set.
But after the crew finishes filming tonight, the mainland staff living in Beijing will leave, and several single rooms will be vacated. Even among Hong Kong people, Ah Hao is not well-liked because of his bad temper, so there is a 99% chance that his roommates will choose to move to other rooms.
Ah Hao passively obtained a single room, so he naturally would not move anywhere else. In this way, he could ensure that Ah Hao would be the only one in the room when the action took place.
Xu Kun jumped down from the bed, wrapped his hands with his sleeves and pushed open the window. He observed the situation downstairs, then left the room and locked it again.
Baoqiang was leaning against the wall pretending to send a text message. When he saw Xu Kun coming out of the room, he quickly walked over and asked in a trembling voice, "Brother Kun, what's wrong?"
"Let's go downstairs."
Xu Kun asked him to go downstairs and reminded him, "Don't worry, just wait until tonight and do it according to the plan."
Baoqiang nodded vigorously in agreement. Although he was hesitant at first and did not approve of Xu Kun's action, he was able to keep his composure once the action really started.
Without saying anything else, just pretending to send a text message at the stairs just now, no one except Xu Kun could see anything wrong.
six thirty.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, Liang Delong shouted the last "CUT", and then collapsed in the chair with a sense of relief. After six days and five nights of overtime shooting, it was finally completed on schedule!
I don't know who started clapping, but gradually the applause became continuous.
Xu Kun couldn't tell who was sincere and who was fake, but when the assistant director announced that there was no wrap-up party because it was the second wrap-up, many people must have cursed in their hearts.
Since there is no wrap-up party, who would be willing to eat in the guesthouse’s cafeteria?
Immediately, many people asked to be paid their wages, and everyone went back home to find their mothers.
The crew was not vague about this point. Soon, except for the main actors, all the wages were paid. Xu Kun received 1,200 yuan, and Bao Qiang received more than 900 yuan. After all, the roles they played were similar this time. Xu Kun only played a few more villains than Bao Qiang. After receiving the money, Xu Kun and others took the bus back to the city under the arrangement of Wei Hongyu, the chief steward of the crew.
Everyone was very excited on the way. Xu Kun and Bao Qiang also had a heated discussion and said that they would reward themselves well when they returned.
After getting off the car at Beishatan, the two immediately split up according to the plan. Xu Kun borrowed a motorcycle from Chen Xuebin, and Baoqiang bought ropes, work gloves, a hood-style hat, and two pairs of goggles.
After temporarily storing the motorcycle in front of a nearby cinema, Xu Kun and Bao Qiang went to Boss Lin's restaurant and ordered a table of food and wine.
Back in the house, Baoqiang poured several bottles of beer into the plastic bags prepared in advance, while Xu Kun picked up half of the food and put it in the bag, making the cups and plates look messy.
Then the two turned on the TV and played "New Dragon Inn". They also placed Baoqiang's second-hand tape recorder on the folding table and played the situational dialogues they had recorded when they were practicing their lines.
After everything was packed up, the two of them quietly sneaked out of the alley and rode their motorcycles back the same way.
The crew said they did not prepare a wrap party, but in fact, after most of the mainland staff left, they held a simple dinner.
Because it was an indulgence after the tension, many people got drunk, and some even wanted to take the opportunity to get Niu Mengmeng drunk, but fortunately they were stopped by Wang Yan.
Li Xiaolu was originally upset about the single room, but now that the room is vacated, she is too lazy to move.
Back in the room on the fifth floor, she kicked off her shoes, stretched out her arms and legs on the bed, and complained: "What's going on? Didn't that Xu guy say he was going to mess with me? I stayed here to watch a good show. If I had known this would happen, I would have gone home directly!"
In fact, it was Baoqiang who shouted this last night, but both of them ignored the dark baby face.
Li Bingbing tried to analyze: "It's possible that their target was not the crew, or it's possible that they didn't dare to do it because we caught them."
"I think it's most likely the latter!"
Li Xiaolu lay on her back on the bed, kicking her two small feet in flesh-colored short silk stockings up and down, and said disdainfully: "You have such a fierce look in your eyes, but you were actually scared by two women. What a coward!"
It's better than being scared to death by someone's look.
Li Bingbing complained secretly, but after touching the teeth marks on her shoulder, she finally swallowed her words back. After all, this damn girl really dared to bite people when she got angry.
Because it was still early and the water upstairs had not been turned off, Li Bingbing washed clothes in the bathroom while chatting with Li Xiaolu about some gossip in the circle.
In fact, it was mainly Li Xiaolu who was talking. Firstly, Li Bingbing was a few years older and not as outspoken as her. Secondly, Li Xiaolu came from a family with a lot of academic background and was a third-generation film and television professional. She knew a lot of "anecdotes" in the circle by heart.
bang bang bang~
At this moment, the door was suddenly slammed hard.
Li Xiaolu paused, then raised her voice and asked, "Who is it?"
"Sister Xiaolu, are you okay?!"
Niu Mengmeng's concerned voice came from outside the door.
"What can happen to us?"
Li Xiaolu was originally angry with Niu Mengmeng because of the reshoot, and later when she saw that Niu Mengmeng was always looking for opportunities to get close to Wang Yan, she became even more dismissive of Niu Mengmeng. So when she heard her voice, she didn't even bother to get up and open the door.
Li Bingbing wanted to open the door, but it was really inconvenient with her hands covered in foam.
But Niu Mengmeng was heard shouting outside again: "It's good that you're okay. They said a group of people came downstairs and broke into the house and tied up the lighting engineer of the crew. I was still worried..."
brush~
Before she could finish her words, Li Xiaolu opened the door and rushed out, saying excitedly: "Come on, let's go downstairs to watch the fun!"
