Chapter 196 194. A sudden visit
It is still the restaurant on the first floor. Since the crew of "Kekexili" officially moved into this town, the restaurant of this hotel has become a gathering place for everyone.
But today, there is no laughter and joy in the past. The atmosphere is very silent, especially Lu Chuan. To describe it with a four-character idiom, it is a sad face.
There is only one reason. A staff member of the crew fainted due to a sudden illness during filming.
If it was just this one person, it would be fine. It can be regarded as a sudden incident. However, this fainted staff member is the third person in the crew who fell on the bed in the past few days. The crew can't help but take it seriously.
"I think we should equip the crew with an emergency doctor as soon as possible, and then some emergency emergency medical equipment should also be prepared, especially a series of medicines for altitude sickness. We can't be afraid of spending money at this time, otherwise I'm afraid that our movie has not been filmed halfway, and the crew will all fall ill because they are not adapted to the local environment." Nie Wei looked at Lu Chuan and suggested.
"I will contact the mainland as soon as possible, but I don't know if there are any doctors willing to come." Lu Chuan nodded, obviously agreeing with Nie Wei's suggestion.
"There will definitely be people, it depends on whether we can afford the price that makes people excited."
"That's right."
As the saying goes, 'there must be brave men under a high reward'. After Lu Chuan's crew offered a high price, many doctors really applied for this position. After selecting a doctor with experience in assisting Tibet, Lu Chuan's crew was one of the rare crews in China at that time that was equipped with a doctor.
However, all this was undoubtedly forced. With the doctors entering the crew, the staff fainted a lot, but there were still a large number of staff who were not adapted to the local environment.
In less than 20 days of filming, more than a dozen people in the original crew of more than 100 people fell down, and there were even more people who deserted because they could not bear the local environment. When Nie Wei and others filmed crossing the Chumar River, there were only about 70 people left in the crew of more than 100 people.
"Brother Nie Wei, come and help." A shout rang out at the shooting site. Nie Wei put down the crew in his hand and looked. It turned out that a big brother from the photography team was asking for help.
Seeing the other party's calm look, it was obviously not the first time he found Nie Wei.
"How to do it?" Nie Wei walked over and asked directly.
The photography brother was not polite and told Nie Wei what he needed help with. The two worked for more than ten minutes and finally finished the waterproofing of the equipment.
After making sure that the photography brother could complete the remaining tasks by himself, Nie Wei walked back to his resting place and continued to read the script.
Looking at this scene, if it was in the mainland, it must be thought that the staff bullied the actors. After all, these jobs don't need actors to do, otherwise what are these staff for, but in the "Kekexili" crew, these things are already commonplace. In fact, Nie Wei and his help is considered small. For example, the great director Lu Chuan now has almost multiple positions. In the words of the future, he is simply busy like a dog.
"Luo Yuan, give me a cup of warm water, I'm so tired." Speak of the devil, Lu Chuan, who was exhausted, came to Nie Wei as soon as he had some free time and asked Luo Yuan for water to save his life.
After drinking a cup of warm water, Lu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat on his head, and said to Nie Wei: "It's not easy to go into the water in this weather. I will tell the extras to try not to have any problems."
"Well, don't worry about me. Teacher Duobujie is old, you should pay more attention to him. In addition, ask the crew to prepare blankets and hot packs, as well as cotton slippers, and preheat them with hot packs in advance, so that everyone can wear warm clothes directly after getting ashore." Nie Wei added.
Lu Chuan listened and took notes, and he really didn't expect some of these small details.
"Thanks to you, otherwise I don't know how to continue filming this movie." After Lu Chuan finished writing, he looked at Nie Wei and couldn't help but sigh. These days, the crew members have been running away one after another, or they have to be absent due to high altitude sickness causing heart disease and lung disease. If it weren't for Nie Wei's help and encouragement, I'm afraid he would have lost confidence in this movie.
"I think this is a test. Remember how difficult it is to shoot this movie. When you shoot a movie again in the future, just don't forget your original intention." Nie Wei patted Lu Chuan's shoulder and said something meaningful.
"Okay, don't forget your original intention." Lu Chuan didn't understand the real meaning of Nie Wei's words, but the phrase "don't forget your original intention" made him remember it deeply in his heart at this time.
The water of the Chumar River in April is still cold and moving. Even though Lu Chuan has set the shooting time to 2 pm, the hottest time of the day, Nie Wei and a group of actors still froze their legs after repeated shooting. Even Nie Wei was not surprised. After a few shots, he felt that his legs didn't belong to him.
Seeing Nie Wei coming ashore, Luo Yuan, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately handed him a space blanket, and at the same time, an electric warmer and warm cotton slippers, fearing that Nie Wei would catch a cold.
"I can take care of myself here, you go over there to help." Looking at the staff who were distributing gossip and warmers to the extras, Nie Wei hurriedly asked Luo Yuan to go over to help. The shortage of manpower was undoubtedly prominent at this moment, but there was nothing he could do. Now the poor shooting environment of the "Kekexili" crew has spread in the circle, and there are really few people who dare to come.
Of course, if a high price is really given, there are still people willing to work hard for money, but Lu Chuan considers the funding problem of the crew and cannot really offer a sky-high price for the staff.
"It's time to call it a day. Let's go back to the hotel and take a hot bath." After Nie Wei shot two more shots, he heard Lu Chuan shouting not far away.
Hearing this, Nie Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The day's shooting was finally over.
"It's finally over. I've never liked hearing the word 'call it a day' so much in a crew." A staff member laughed and complained.
"Haha, me too. I will never forget this job."
Listening to the staff's kind complaints, Nie Wei also smiled. He would never forget such an acting experience as not wearing makeup, not being handsome, and having a lot of crew members fall down halfway through filming.
"Let's go. Let's go back to the hotel to sleep." Nie Wei cheered in a rare way, causing Luo Yuan beside him to laugh.
Sitting in the broken jeep, Nie Wei has become accustomed to the bumpy rhythm. Now he can even take a nap in the car with comfort. He is also used to the pungent smell of gasoline, which no longer makes people feel uncomfortable.
As expected, human potential is endless.
The only pity is that Luo Kai is not here. To be honest, after being together for a long time, Nie Wei is still a little uncomfortable when this guy leaves. However, considering his health, he really has to let him go, otherwise Nie Wei may have to find a new agent before the filming of this movie is finished.
Nie Wei returned to the hotel in a daze while thinking about all kinds of things.
Nie Wei was the first person to get off the car in the whole team. After getting off the car, he went straight to the small restaurant. He opened the door and shouted before seeing anyone: "Dawa, what's delicious today."
According to his usual habit, Dawa would have shouted out the food for dinner today, but before Nie Wei heard Dawa's voice, he saw a figure suddenly jumped out in front of him, exclaiming excitedly: "Surprise!!!"
"Xixi!?" Seeing a person suddenly jumping out in front of him, Nie Wei almost punched him, but fortunately he stopped his hand after hearing the voice, otherwise the girl in front of him would definitely have a black eye.
But after figuring out who was in front of him, Nie Wei was even more surprised. Why did Lin Yifei come here? Shouldn't she be in school at this time?
"Aren't you surprised? I ran 5,000 kilometers to visit you. Why do you look so unhappy?" Looking at Nie Wei's surprised expression, Lin Yifei asked very dissatisfiedly.
And as she looked at Nie Wei's appearance, the little girl's face became more and more dissatisfied.
"How did you become like this? You haven't washed your hair for a few days. It's all tangled. And your beard, how come it's so long? Even if you want to grow a beard, you should take care of it. And this shirt, the collar is shiny black. What's wrong with Luo Yuan? She didn't say to take care of you..."
"Xixi, why did you come here? Shouldn't you be in class at this time?" Listening to Lin Yifei's complaints, Nie Wei came back to his senses, and then his face darkened and asked sternly.
Nie Wei's tone made Lin Yifei, who was talking, feel blocked in her heart. Those words that she wanted to say at this moment, for some reason, could not be said.
The two stood face to face in silence, letting the passers-by cast surprised eyes at them.
"Xixi, why are you here?" Another exclamation interrupted the silence between the two. It turned out that Luo Yuan, who had packed her things, also arrived. Seeing Lin Yifei, she was obviously very surprised.
"I'm here to visit the set." Lin Yifei smiled reluctantly and replied.
"Then go in quickly, Xixi, you just arrived? How did you know our crew is here? Why didn't you call me in advance?" Luo Yuan saw the unharmonious atmosphere between Nie Wei and Lin Yifei, and hurriedly pulled Lin Yifei away, while busy changing the subject.
Soon, Lin Yifei told the reason under Luo Yuan's questioning.
It turned out that all this was caused by Luo Kai who returned to Kyoto.
Because the crew was constantly reducing, the filming of the movie, which was originally scheduled to take three months, had to be postponed, and Nie Wei took a three-month vacation. So as soon as he returned to Kyoto, Luo Kai immediately went to school to ask for another month's leave for Nie Wei, but he didn't expect to run into Lin Yifei and inadvertently complained to the little girl about the situation of the crew.
When she heard about Nie Wei's "inhuman" life there, the girl couldn't sit still immediately. When she thought about how Shu Chang took advantage of Nie Wei's illness to take a step further in Hong Kong, the girl had an idea in her heart, and then she took advantage of the weekend and her family to stay at a classmate's house for a few days, and then asked for a week of sick leave without telling the school, and then she packed her backpack and ran over boldly.
It was called a visit, but in fact it was just to come and see how Nie Wei was doing. The little girl felt distressed.
What she didn't expect was that as soon as the two met, Nie Wei put on a stinky face and spoke to her in such a stern voice. For a while, Lin Yifei felt wronged and wanted to cry.
You know, whether at home or working outside, Lin Yifei is treated like a little princess. Everyone loves her and is afraid that she will suffer any grievances. But after going through so much trouble to come all the way to see him, she is treated like this. You can imagine how she feels.
"You are so bold. You came here so soon. By the way, are you feeling uncomfortable? If you are, you must tell me. Altitude sickness is no joke. More than 30 people in our crew have collapsed and run away because of this." Luo Yuan asked with concern after pulling Lin Yifei to sit down.
Lin Yifei secretly glanced at Nie Wei, who was sitting opposite but still had a serious face, curled her lips secretly, and then replied: "I know, Brother Luo Kai told me, I took medicine before coming here, and there is nothing wrong now. "
Although Nie Wei seemed to be indifferent to Lin Yifei, he had been secretly listening to the girl's words. When she heard her say that she was fine, Nie Wei also took a serious look at her face. She was indeed quite healthy and should be fine.
"You are in really good health, but my dad is so bad that he didn't adapt to the plateau for more than ten days. In the end, he had to go back home." Luo Yuan joked, and then said to Nie Wei: "You are quite good. Like Nie Weiyi, he seems to be nothing, and I envy him to death. "
"Who is like him?" Lin Yifei said angrily, but her voice was a little low, and only the three people at the table could barely hear her.
"Sissi, have you found a place to live?" Nie Wei suddenly said.
This caring greeting made the girl whose heart was filled with dark clouds suddenly become sunny. The next second, the girl's face turned from gloomy to bright. She drooped her eyebrows in a coquettish way and said to Nie Wei: "I know where you live." Here, but I asked the girl and she said that the place was full. I told her that I knew you, so she asked me to wait for you here temporarily. "
After hearing Lin Yifei's answer, Nie Wei shook his head, as expected.
Because of the arrival of the crew, there are indeed no empty rooms here.
"Then you can stay in my bedroom tonight, and I'll spend the night with Lu Chuan." Nie Wei said.
You must know that except for Nie Wei, only Lu Chuan in the entire crew had a single room, and the rest had double rooms, so Nie Wei could only free up his room for Lin Yifei.
As soon as Lin Yifei heard that Nie Wei had given up the room, Lin Yifei's eyes were so happy that she smiled.
"But remember, it's just for one night. You must return to Kyoto tomorrow morning. Luo Yuan, you must accompany her and send her back."
"Why!" After hearing Nie Wei's words, Lin Yifei, who was originally happy, suddenly plummeted. The warmth of her feelings just now was an illusion. This was simply the meal that she had given to the death row prisoner, and then she was sent to the execution ground. ?
"Why, didn't you say you came to visit the class? You have also met the person, so naturally he has reached Consummation and can go back."
"you!!!"
The atmosphere between the two became tense again because of Nie Wei's attitude. Until Nie Wei vacated his room for Lin Yifei, the other party did not say a word to Nie Wei.
Nie Wei didn't care about this and went to Lu Chuan's room to stay overnight.
The sun rose as usual the next day, but Nie Wei was not in a good mood because Luo Yuan suddenly told him that Lin Yifei was missing.
