Falling in Love with the Movie King (10)
After the other teams caught up, Zheng Xuanlin and Tao Wan entered the water again. The two of them even dawdled for a while, but they still caught the fish before the others and went to the next task point.
The last task was to swing the rattan across the river. The river was quite wide. If one did not have enough skill or strength, they would fall into the river. There were already two boats in the river. There were cameramen filming and staff members waiting to pull the people who fell into the boat.
Zheng Xuanlin asked Tao Wan, "How many times do you think you need to swing across?"
"I think I can swing across in one go. But if I do that, the competition will end immediately. They won't have enough content to film," Tao Wan said.
"How about this, I'll fall in twice and let them film enough content," Zheng Xuanlin said. "Then, after you swing across, I'll successfully swing across."
Tao Wan thought for a while and said, "Why don't you fall once, and I fall once too? Otherwise, if you fall into the water and I'm the only one who doesn't, it'll be too fake."
"This height is quite high. It'll be painful to hit the water." Zheng Xuanlin did not want him to fall into the water.
Tao Wan said, "It's just one time. It'll be fine."
Zheng Xuanlin saw that he insisted and did not try to persuade him.
They waited for a while. After the other two teams caught up, Zheng Xuanlin grabbed the rattan and started to swing. Then, he let go in the middle of the river and fell into the water.
This way, they were at the back of the queue again.
After the other two teams also failed, it was their turn again. This time, it was Tao Wan's turn to swing first.
Tao Wan grabbed the rattan and swung out. He realized that it was more difficult than he thought. However, he was able to persist until he reached the other side. But in order to film longer, he let go in the middle and fell into the river.
After Tao Wan went up, the other teams had already arrived.
Zheng Xuanlin was holding a towel. When he came up, he immediately walked over and draped a large towel over him. He used a small towel to wipe the water off his face and head.
"Are you cold?" Zheng Xuanlin asked with concern. Today was a cloudy day. It was not as sunny as yesterday. It was still a little cold when wet clothes were blown by the wind.
"It's alright." Tao Wan only felt a little cool, but it wasn't that cold. It was just that this body's constitution wasn't good enough, so he still had to be careful not to catch a cold.
Zheng Xuanlin also wiped the water off his body, then changed a bath towel and wrapped it around him.
When the celebrities who were waiting by the side saw the interaction between the two, they didn't need to guess to know that the two were definitely together.
They then looked at Cheng Yi. Cheng Yi's expression was particularly ugly. Since the start of the shoot, his expression had not been good. Therefore, they could also see that Cheng Yi liked Zheng Xuanlin, and Zheng Xuanlin was together with Tao Wan. Although they didn't know if Zheng Xuanlin and Cheng Yi had been together before, there were many such emotional entanglements in the entertainment industry. It was just that outsiders didn't know about it. As for those in the industry, they were already used to it.
Cheng Yi's expression was gloomy. He was not in the mood to maintain his persona. The director had already communicated with him, but it was no use.
Chen Yi grabbed the rattan and swung it out. His hands were too weak to hold on to it, and he slipped into the water. After he went up, the staff handed him a towel. He took a bath towel and draped it over his body, ignoring the water dripping from his hair.
Cheng Yi turned his head and saw Zheng Xuanlin holding Tao Wan's hand and touching Tao Wan's face. He didn't seem to be avoiding it at all. He was just short of hugging him in his arms. Just as he was thinking this, he saw Zheng Xuanlin pull Tao Wan into his arms.
Zheng Xuanlin thought that since they could definitely see it, it was normal for couples to hug each other. He didn't want to hold it in anymore.
In front of so many people, Tao Wan couldn't help but blush when he was hugged by him like this.
Everyone else looked away. They thought to themselves, "You guys are showing off your affection in front of everyone. Have you considered the feelings of single people? Can you not destroy our weak hearts? "
The others tried their best not to look at them. Only Cheng Yi kept staring at them aggressively. He looked like he was about to rush up and separate them.
After Tao Wan swung to the opposite side, Zheng Xuanlin also swung over. After the first place was announced, the other groups didn't have to continue with their missions.
Zheng Xuanlin held Tao Wan's hand and went to the car to change into clean clothes. The others went to change.
Finally, everyone gathered together. The host gave the prize to the two of them. Then, the filming ended and they could go back to the hotel.
They were flying back to China tomorrow. After dinner, Tao Wan wanted to go out for a walk. So, Zheng Xuanlin took him to a nearby market. However, it wasn't a normal market. It was a market that sold some strange things.
They stood in front of a stall. This stall sold mini fireworks that were made into the shape of a lighter. As long as you pressed it, the fireworks would come out. However, this was a miniature version of the fireworks. The fireworks that came out were only ten centimeters high.
"This is not bad." Zheng Xuanlin took one and tossed it in his hand. "I'll buy it for my dad. Tell him that he can use this to light up cigars."
Tao Wan looked at him speechlessly and asked seriously, "Are you buying it for your dad?"
Zheng Xuanlin saw that he was asking seriously. After a moment of surprise, he said, "I might have to go back and ask my mom to give you a definite answer."
Tao Wan looked at him speechlessly. How could he say that about his parents?
Tao Wan chose the most lethal one and handed it to Zheng Xuanlin. "Give this to your dad. If he doesn't kill you after using it, you are definitely his biological son."
"Okay." Zheng Xuanlin took it. After paying with his mobile phone, he put it in his pocket. "After he uses it, I'll tell him that this is a gift from his future daughter-in-law."
Tao Wan immediately felt guilty and tried to snatch it back. "Take it and give it back to me!"
Zheng Xuanlin strode away. Tao Yuan immediately followed him. He put his hand into Zheng Xuanlin's pocket, but Zheng Xuanlin held his hand. Tao Yuan was scared and immediately pulled his hand out. They were on the street and there were many tourists. It was normal for the two of them to go out for a walk after filming. However, if they were photographed holding hands, it would definitely be on the news.
The two of them came to a stall that sold prizes for archery. Zheng Xuanlin asked Tao Wan if he wanted to play. Tao Wan looked at the prize at the top and nodded.
The target for archery was not fixed. It was moving. Tao Wan first chose a medium level target for practice. There were a total of ten arrows and every one of them hit the bullseye.
Tao Wan took the prize from the stall owner. He raised his hand and pointed at the prize at the top. "I want that one."
In a glass case, there was a dolphin-shaped sapphire. That sapphire was very famous. It was about the size of a fist and had a natural shape. It was not carved later. The domestic tourism news had also reported about this sapphire. This type of sapphire was unique. Although there were many unique gems in the world, this type of sapphire was not the most valuable.
However, why would such a precious item appear in a stall like this? Because the owner of this sapphire was a very ancient tribe. The person who set up this stall was the tribe leader of this tribe. There were hundreds of people in this tribe and they all relied on this stall to live a prosperous life. Because of this sapphire, it attracted a large number of tourists every year.
Zheng Xuanlin was a little embarrassed. Because until now, countless people had tried and failed to take the sapphire. He was not confident that he could get it.
"Let me try." Zheng Xuanlin said and communicated with the stall owner in a foreign language.
When the stall owner heard that he wanted the dolphin-blue, he immediately became excited. He thought that he could make a lot of money today.
If he chose the highest level, it would be more than ten times more expensive than the normal level. All ten arrows had to hit the bullseye. If he did not hit the bullseye, he would lose money. There was not even a consolation prize.
Zheng Xuanlin narrowed his eyes and aimed for a long time. After the first arrow was shot, the stall owner stopped the target. It hit the bullseye. The stall owner could not help but applaud him and even gave him a thumbs up.
When the second arrow was shot, it was only a little away from the bullseye. The stall owner shook his head with a regretful expression. He spread his hands and suggested that he pay again and try again.
Seeing the stall owner's expression, Zheng Xuanlin could not help but twitch his mouth. He knew that he would lose money even if he tried again.
"I'll buy you a better gem. We don't want this one, okay?" Zheng Xuanlin coaxed.
"I want this." Tao Wan looked at the blue dolphin-blue gem. He was like a child asking his parents for a toy. If he did not buy it, he would not leave.
In fact, compared to other unique gems, this gem's value was not that high. Its cultural significance far exceeded its value. That was why it attracted so many people.
"Let me try." Tao Wan said.
Zheng Xuanlin had no choice but to pay for him to try.
When Tao Wan shot the first arrow, the second arrow, and even the fifth arrow, they all hit the bullseye. Zheng Xuanlin and the stall owner were shocked. Many tourists also stopped to watch.
The stall owner could not help but size up Tao Wan. He thought that this skinny youth could actually shoot five arrows in a row. You really could not judge a book by its cover.
Zheng Xuanlin also looked at Tao Wan in shock. He did not expect him to be able to do it. This required a very strong arm and eyesight.
Tao Wan rested for a while. He pulled the bow and arrow again, ready to shoot the fifth arrow. The surroundings were silent. Many people even held their breaths, waiting for him to shoot the arrow.
Although the arrow hit the target, it did not hit the bullseye. The surrounding people sighed with regret.
The stall owner was relieved. However, he still used his usual regretful expression and spread his hands towards Tao Wan.
Zheng Xuanlin touched his hair and comforted him. "You are already very good. Don't be unhappy."
"I want to try again." Tao Wan looked at Zheng Xuanlin and said.
Looking at Tao Wan's eyes, Zheng Xuanlin could not say anything. He could only pay and let him try again.
The stall owner was very happy. Zheng Xuanlin had paid three times in a row. It was enough for them to use for two months. Although Tao Wan hit the bullseye five times in a row, to hit the bullseye ten times was impossible.
Tao Wan moved his arms and pulled the bow again. He was determined to get the gem. Just now, he did not want people to think that he got the gem easily, so he lowered the system's ability. But this time, he would not make a mistake.
When he shot the seventh arrow, the stall owner's heart was in his mouth. He prayed to his ancestors that he would not let this person win the Dolphin Blue.
Not only were there a lot of onlookers around, but they also took out their mobile phones and took pictures of Tao Yuan shooting the arrow.
There was only one arrow left. As long as the last arrow hit the bullseye, Tao Wan would be able to take the gem.
The stall owner was already in the middle of the prayer ceremony. He pressed his hands to his heart and muttered some words. Then, he bowed in different directions.
Zheng Xuanlin could not help but feel nervous. There was only one arrow left. With such a high difficulty level, even if the prize was not the gem, it would still make people feel nervous. Because the previous nine arrows had hit the bullseye. If only the last arrow missed, it would be too much of a pity.
Tao Wan activated the system again and shot the last arrow. The arrow he shot had obviously hit the bullseye, but the bullseye was moving quickly. No one could tell if he had hit the bullseye or not. Everyone focused their eyes and waited for the stall owner to close the bullseye.
After the stall owner finished his last prayer, he kept taking deep breaths. His hand trembled as he reached for the button, but he could not press it.
"Can you hurry up? If we wait any longer, the sky will be dark. " Tao Wan was not nervous. After all, the arrow had been shot. Whether it hit the bullseye or not was a foregone conclusion. There was no point in being nervous.
The stall owner took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and pressed the button. The bullseye immediately stopped moving. Everyone around him stared with their eyes wide open. Only he did not dare to open his eyes.
After a moment of silence, the crowd suddenly burst into cries of disbelief. Because Tao Wan's last arrow had hit the bullseye. For so many years, countless people had tried but failed to get the prize. He actually got it. The onlookers knew why they were so excited. They were not the ones who got the Dolphin Blue.
When the stall owner heard the sound, he knew it was over. When he opened his eyes and faced reality, his legs went soft and he sat on the ground. His tribe's sacred object had been won by someone else.
Under the urging of all the tourists, the stall owner had no choice but to stand up and take down the Dolphin Blue from the highest point.
Looking at the stall owner's slow movements, Tao Wan was really impatient. He directly walked in and took the glass cover with the gem from the stall owner's hand.
The stall owner held the glass cover tightly. He was very reluctant. Tao Wan almost snatched it. It took a lot of strength for him to take the glass cover.
Zheng Xuanlin looked at it and felt it was a little funny.
Tao Wan said to the stall owner, "Your tribe has made so much money from this gem. Now that the gem has changed owners, it is God's will. Those who go against God's will will be punished."
The stall owner looked at Tao Wan. He was about to cry. In fact, he was already crying. He looked at the Dolphin Blue reluctantly, but his tribe believed in God. As Tao Wan said, if this was God's will, he had to follow God's will. Moreover, in order to attract more tourists, the country had publicly promoted them many times. They had also written a legal document. As long as they completed the shooting according to the rules, they could legally take the gem away.
Tao Wan walked out with the gem. He pulled Zheng Xuanlin's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go!"
The news was soon out in China. Because of the live broadcast by tourists, people had already started to bid before they returned to China. Many people wanted to buy the Dolphin Blue.
After the phone call, Zheng Xuanlin walked into the room and sat on the bed. He said, "I heard that many people in China and abroad want to buy it. Are you going to sell it?"
"Why should I sell it?" Tao Wan looked at him and said, "There are so many valuable gems in the world. Why don't they buy it? Why do they want to buy this worthless gem?"
Zheng Xuanlin lay down on his side and said, "Because it is human nature to join in the fun, and some people just like to be noticed. The news of you winning this gem has been reported by the media from all over the world. Then the person who bought the gem from you will be the next person to be noticed. "
"I haven't played enough yet. Let's talk about it when I'm tired." Tao Wan turned over and lay on the bed. He raised the gem and said, "Actually, it doesn't look like a dolphin up close. It looks quite similar from afar. However, the color was not bad. Under different lighting conditions, the depth of the color was also different. Overall, it was a good-looking and not bad gemstone. It's just that this kind of gem is not suitable for a man like me. "
Zheng Xuanlin couldn't help but laugh. "Are you that kind of man?"
Tao Wan said with a serious face, "I am a strong and masculine man."
"Baby," Zheng Xuanlin touched his face and said, "Are you sure you are talking about you and not me?"
"Of course it's me. I won this gem, and you didn't. So, this is enough to say that I am more of a man than you. "
"Baby, you can't judge whether you are like a man or not. Legend has it that the ancestor of this tribe who was the best at archery was a woman. Their female ancestor won this gem by archery, and many years later, you won this gem by archery. Maybe it really is fate, and this gem will only be owned by someone with a young girl's heart. "
Tao Wan put down the gem in his hand and stared at Zheng Xuanlin. He said, "If you talk like that, you will lose me."
"Baby," Zheng Xuanlin sat up and pulled Tao Wan into his arms. "We are going back to China in ten hours. Before we leave, let's do something interesting. Don't play with this gem anymore."
Tao Wan still hadn't seen enough. He kept turning the gem over and over to look at it. "You do your thing, I will look at mine."
Since Tao Wan said so, he could only entertain himself.
Zheng Xuanlin took off Tao Wan's pants. Then, Tao Wan played with the gem while he played with Tao Wan's treasure.
