Chapter 199: high school textbook
The studio was extremely quiet and peaceful.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the chief director is in a bad mood, and even the assistant directors are cautiously doing things with their tail between their legs.
As for the reason, Jiang Lingxi found out early in the morning from Wei Minmin, who was the most well-informed.
“Lin Xuefei came out of the director’s office crying yesterday. Her agent came over that night and signed a termination contract with the crew.”
As a result, the position of the fourth female lead is vacant, and the role of Princess Jin'an is about to be filmed. If she were to be the director, she would have to rush to do it.
Originally, there would be occasional fishermen on the set. When everyone had nothing to do, they would take out their mobile phones to read video novels and other things to pass the time. This time, everyone calmed down, for fear of being caught accidentally.
Everyone tensed up, and the effect was particularly remarkable. The shooting efficiency on that day was significantly improved, but as a director, Wei Xiao still failed to show off.
The faster he shoots, the closer he gets to the scheduled scene of Princess Jin'an. He doesn't even have a suitable actor on hand now, so how will he shoot it then?
But even so, he does not regret terminating the contract with Lin Xuefei. His crew can't tolerate artists who have trouble and don't know what went wrong.
However, it is urgent to find an actor who can play Princess Jin'an.
Everyone in the crew was doing their work meticulously and cautiously for fear of accidentally offending the director. Even Wei Minmin stopped eating her watermelon seeds and recited her lines with a serious attitude while holding the script.
Jiang Lingxi also had a book spread out in his hand, but it was not a script, but one of the boxes of textbooks that Tong Yue sent as an errand in the morning.
Her nephew, who had just finished the college entrance examination and estimated that his grades were not bad, and said that he would never need these books again, kindly gave them to her.
This is after Tong Yue determined that his artist needed to re-lay the foundation, so he made a reservation with his nephew in advance.
I just finished the last subject of the college entrance examination yesterday, and I have been working non-stop to find someone to deliver it to me today.
Jiang Lingxi, who received such a highly anticipated gift early in the morning: "..."
I feel bad that even if I read it over again, I still feel sorry for my agent’s good intentions!
When she came to the set, she asked Lu Zhengzheng to take two high school textbooks and put them in her bag.
It just so happened that today no one dared to play games on their mobile phones. She was reading a book in the rest area, which was not out of the ordinary at all.
The only person who expressed confusion was Jiang Lingxu.
At first he didn’t pay attention to what book his sister was reading during her break. It wasn’t until his sister and Sister Zhengzheng got together to discuss a calculation problem that he realized something was wrong with the book.
I took a closer look and saw that the senior high school textbook - Mathematics - Compulsory Course 1!
For a moment, I almost suspected that there was something wrong with my eyes.
Is it normal to read this kind of book for no reason?
He endured it again and again, but when others came back to rest, he still couldn't hold it in anymore, "Sister, why are you reading your high school textbook?"
Jiang Lingxi raised her head, met the eyes of the curious baby Jiang Xiaodi, and asked instead, "What do you think?"
"You can't be preparing for the college entrance examination, right?" Jiang Lingxu replied subconsciously. Facing the still calm and smiling face in front of him, he suddenly leaned back and almost overturned the folding chair under him. He finally managed to stabilize his balance with a look on his face. Hesitating in disbelief, "No, it can't be?"
"How is this impossible?" Jiang Lingxi raised her eyebrows and tapped the little idiot in front of her on the forehead with the spine of the book. "I can't have the heart to learn."
Jiang Lingxu covered his head and sat blankly for a while before finally digesting the news, "Sister, are you really planning to take the college entrance examination?"
“Well, do you want to go to the examination room together next year?”
Jiang Lingxu felt that he was not as bold as his sister, but he was a bit timid by rejecting it directly, "You, let me think about it."
He has to think about it.
Jiang Lingxi smiled, lowered her head and continued to chew on the math textbook in her hand.
Not to mention, the doorways in these calculations are quite interesting to think about carefully. Even if you just look at it yourself, it is still a bit difficult.

The day flies by.
Jiang Lingxu got out of the car with his backpack on his back, turned around and waved at the half-open window, and walked quickly to the bus stop not far ahead.
These three days have been busy and fulfilling. The most important thing is that the word college entrance examination has finally taken root in his heart.
The young man could not help but start to think seriously and comprehensively about the path he would take in the future.
Jiang Lingxi watched him get on the bus parked on the side of the road, raised the window and told the driver, "Go back."
Back in the hotel lobby, Jiang Lingxi looked at the front desk who was busy checking in.
It seems that another film crew is preparing to move into the hotel. "Zheng Zheng, go to the front desk and ask if there are any free rooms."
Without thinking, Lu Zhengzheng trotted over and asked. After getting the reply, she ran back, "Sister Xixi, there are no vacant rooms today, but there will be a twin room available tomorrow."
“Make a reservation first.”
"ah?"
Jiang Lingxi thought of the message she had received on her way back, "Some family members will come to visit me tomorrow."
Lu Zhengzheng’s eyes lit up and he was in a hurry to do it.
Filming in the summer is the hardest. In the past few days, several actors' family members have come to visit the studio. Every time they come, they will treat everyone on the set to drinks and ice cream, and she has followed them several times.
After making the reservation, I came back and asked, "Are they uncle, aunt, and the others?"
“No, but you know the person.”
"I know?"
“You’ll know when tomorrow comes. By the way, let’s order some drinks and fruits for everyone on the set tomorrow.”
Since everyone is doing this, she calls it doing as the Romans do.

The film and television city is built on the outskirts of Beijing, with mountains to the north and many plants planted there. Coupled with natural and artificially widened waters, the weather here is much cooler than in the city as long as the sun is not shining brightly.
With the arrival of summer vacation, the film and television city has gained a lot of young tourists overnight.
Some people just come to enjoy the scenery, but most of them come here when they finally have free time during the holidays and want to meet actors and stars who are filming in the film and television city. If you are lucky enough to meet your favorite actors and get an autograph, it will be even more satisfying. .
In addition, there are also some people who come to work as extras, making money while getting up close to the stars themselves, killing two birds with one stone.
Hence, the bus routes that originally led from the city to the Film and Television City have temporarily added several buses to the Film and Television City due to the coming summer vacation.
The driver who ran this route finally experienced the crowds in his car early in the morning, just like a commute to work.
There were many people on the bus, so we walked much slower.
Xu Ling'an and her grandmother set out from home early in the morning and took three buses. When they got on the bus leading to the film and television city, there were not many people on the bus.
Just after sitting for a short time, Xu Lingan gave up her seat to an old man who was about the same age as her grandmother.
The old man was bringing his grandson. After thanking the little girl who offered him his seat, he glanced at the little girl's clean school uniform and short-sleeves, and asked with a smile: "The little girl just took the college entrance examination? She went with her family too. Did you visit the Film and Television City?”
