"Let's call it a day!"
"Oh, my God! Finally, I'm done. I'm so tired. I need to go back and take a shower... "
"I need to go back and drink a couple of glasses first. The f * cking blower is making my nose run. If only there was a strong wind like a few days ago..."
"Hey, have you heard? Lin Feng seemed to be involved with a woman a while ago. Now his wife wants to divorce him and divide the family property..." someone said in a low voice.
"Hehe, if you ask me, he shouldn't get married. Which cat doesn't cheat? Why do you think these stars don't get married? It's because they are afraid of getting divorced and dividing the family property! "
"Damn it! Don't talk too much! Be careful!"
...
The crew members who had completed a day of shooting were gossiping behind the scenes. They passed by the door in groups of three or two, occasionally speaking in Hong Kong and Taiwanese accents.
On the table in front of Guan Biao, there was a bag of peanuts and a bag of braised products. He was bored to death watching a variety show on a 24-inch small TV. He pulled out a braised chicken foot from the oilpaper, threw it into his mouth and chewed it. He heard the other crew members talking as they passed by the door.
The pale white light of the LED lamp illuminated the entire room. In the corner, there were some dismantled bridges, wires, and some unknown gadgets. The metal contacts glowed with a cold luster, and the exposed brown copper wires poked out from the insulating rubber, wriggling and baring their fangs. In addition, there were some liquids of various colors, ranging from dark red to light yellow, in large and small glass bottles. There were no labels on the bottles, so who knew what these liquids were.
"Bah!" He chewed the chicken foot until it couldn't get any worse and spat it on the ground.
He picked up the small glass full of Red Star Erguotou and swallowed it. The spicy liquid slid down his esophagus, making his forehead ooze with a layer of sweat.
There was no explosion scene today, so Guan Biao didn't need to work. He could stay in the dormitory and watch TV, sipping wine and braised food. It was a perfect day.
The voices of the crew members gradually faded away until they could no longer be heard. They didn't have to worry about Lin Feng overhearing their gossip, because those celebrities didn't live in the dormitories provided by the Film and Television City like them. They all lived in star-rated hotels in Binhai City, and they were picked up and sent home by car every day.
Guan Biao lived far away from other people's dormitories because he was a pyrotechnician, and a pyrotechnician represented danger, so no one wanted to live near him. No one was even willing to drop by. Everyone kept a respectful distance from the wires and the unknown liquid. They did not want to cause trouble for themselves. Who knew if these things would suddenly explode?
When he was about to finish eating the duck neck, the phone he had thrown on the table suddenly rang. He grabbed it with his oily palm and saw that the caller was Yuan Fei.
Most of his drunkenness had sobered up. He tried to answer the phone in a hurry, but his fingers were full of oil, and he couldn't slide the unlock button on the screen.
The phone was still ringing, as if urging him to die.
Guan Biao wiped his hands on his clothes and finally connected the phone.
"Hello? Brother Yuan? "
His voice was a little hoarse from the spiciness of the liquor, and he swallowed hard.
Yuan Fei said impatiently on the other end of the line, "What took you so long? Did you fall into the toilet pit? "
"No, no, just now … I was sleeping … Burp!" Guan Biao clamped the phone to his ear and screwed the cap of the Red Star Erguotou, trying to hide the fact that he had just drunk, but he accidentally hiccuped.
Yuan Fei was silent for a while. "You missed."
Guan Biao knew what he was referring to, and hurriedly defended himself. "No, I didn't miss! My calculation should be just right. Who knew that the three dogs would fight in the middle? It's not my fault … "
"You don't have to find excuses. In short, you didn't fulfill my requirements, and the leading role of Neptune was taken by someone else. What are you going to do? You have to take responsibility for this, "Yuan Fei said unreasonably.
"How?" Guan Biao asked in fear.
"Use your pig brain to think. If the dog named Famous was accidentally injured during filming, would it be possible to temporarily replace another dog as the leading role?" Yuan Fei reminded him vaguely.
Guan Biao glanced at the small portion of braised pig's brain wrapped in oiled paper and suddenly felt a little nauseous.
"Brother Yuan, let me ask you, is it really not against the law to hurt police dogs?" he asked guiltily.
Yuan Fei replied impatiently, "How many times have I told you? This is the authoritative answer I got from our company's legal department. As long as it can't be proven that it was intentional, it is not against the law to hurt police dogs. At least, it is impossible to directly sue you for this reason. It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but at least at this stage, there are no relevant legal provisions to support it. You know, there are more than 40 lawyers in our company's legal department. Most of them have studied abroad and have thoroughly studied those legal provisions. If they say it's not, then it's definitely not. It's a legal society now, and people take photos and post them on Weibo everywhere. The police dare not be too arrogant, so you just need to be clean and don't leave any evidence behind. "
Hearing this, Guan Biao was temporarily relieved. "Well, that's fine … To be honest, I was a little scared when I saw those policemen walking around …"
If Yuan Fei hadn't explicitly told him, he really wouldn't have dared to hurt those police dogs. But since it had happened once, there would be a second time. After discovering that it was really fine, he became more and more courageous. It was just that what happened on the last day of the audition was too strange. If the three dogs had taken two more steps forward, they would have been injured and had to withdraw from the competition for the leading role. However, at such a critical juncture, the dog named Famous actually jumped on the other two dogs and knocked them down. All their efforts were in vain.
"Those two young men are not ordinary policemen, but police dogs. They are only responsible for carrying out tasks with the police dogs. They have no ability to solve the case, nor do they have that authority. Don't worry all day long!" Yuan Fei scolded.
"Brother Yuan, I want to stop. It doesn't feel good to be on tenterhooks all day, and I have nightmares all night. I dream that those police dogs came to take revenge on me and tore me into several pieces. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep. I have to drink some wine …" Guan Biao begged.
Yuan Fei laughed on the other side of the phone and said, "You didn't kill those police dogs. You just got some injuries. What revenge? Even if you are worried, you should be worried that your dead teacher will come to take revenge on you, right? "
Guan Biao was so scared that his face turned pale and he completely sobered up.
He quickly covered the phone, listened to the movement outside the door, and begged in a low voice, "Brother Yuan, please forgive me. I don't know how you found out, but it was really just an accident …"
Yuan Fei coldly interrupted his begging. "Whether it was an accident or not, it's not up to you, and it's not up to me either. Anyway, if you don't want this matter to be exposed and go to jail for manslaughter, just do as I ask. In the next explosion scene, I want to see Famous and the other two police dogs injured, and you can't leave any evidence behind. Do you understand?"
"Okay … okay … I will do it." Guan Biao had no choice but to agree, "But this is really the last time. Brother Yuan, you have to keep your word. Can you let me go after this?"
"Don't talk nonsense! I told you to do it, so just do it. Why are you being so long-winded? Let's get this done first! " Yuan Fei answered impatiently, "As for whether it's the last time … We'll meet again someday. We're both in the film and television industry. Maybe we'll meet again someday … Haha, I'll have to ask you to take care of me then!"
Guan Biao wanted to beg again, but Yuan Fei decisively hung up the phone. There was only a monotonous beep coming from the receiver.
"It was really an accident …" he said to himself, wanting to cry but having no tears. However, no one listened to his explanation.
He unscrewed the cap of the Erguotou bottle, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it up.
