Chapter 642

Lu Yan He looked at Wu Chi, who had come to find him suddenly, in great surprise.

He had dinner with Chen Siqi and was preparing to watch a movie together in the house at night and then go for a walk.

As a result, the doorbell rang.

Wu Chi was in a state of both excitement and exhaustion, like a marathon runner who had traveled far.

"Lu Zong, I have something to find you for."

Lu Yan He looked at him inexplicably.

They had only met a few hours ago.

If he had something to find him for, why didn't he say it earlier?

When Wu Chi sat down and used an excited, almost dancing limb movement to explain his new ideas for the script and his new ideas for Kong Fanyu and Jiang Yue, Lu Yan He understood.

"Changing the script at this time..."

Lu Yan He showed a bit of surprise and hesitation.

Chen Siqi poured two glasses of juice, placed them in front of them, and sat down on the side, with her thermos cup in front of her.

Wu Chi: "I know, doing this... the problem might be very big, but with the script changed like this, there basically won't be any major adjustments to the filming plan. I won't be overdue. I'm just making some adjustments to Kong Fanyu and Jiang Yue's scenes and adding a few more scenes. With these changes, this play will be better."

"Director Wu, can you tell me why you must make such major adjustments to the script after this film starts filming?" Lu Yan He said. "The character played by Jiang Yue is a girl that Kong Fanyu likes and is moved by, but her existence itself is just an image for Kong Fanyu, an image that every boy has in his youth. At least that's how I understand this character."

"But this is too vulgar," Wu Chi said. "When I saw Kong Fanyu and Jiang Yue bickering with each other there today, I suddenly became enlightened. I don't want this film to be filmed as a stereotypical movie about youth growth. It's not that you have to experience a secret crush without results to grow. A chuunibyou, hot-blooded, and slightly idiotic boy can also experience a youth happily, funnily, and by bickering with others. There is no need for those painful reversals. I just want to film a noisy movie, from beginning to end, not so many people's growth has so many growing pains."

"Then why did you write it like that at the time?"

"Because..." Wu Chi was a bit embarrassed. "I watched many movies that were like that. The male lead always has to experience some emotional failure and family changes to have transformation and growth."

"Then after you change it like this, do other parts of this film also need to be changed? His parents' divorce? The school wants to expel him?"

"Change the divorce to an argument, film it as that kind of trivial, funny-leaning thing. When they finally divorce, it's a feeling that everyone will feel relieved and quiet," Wu Chi said. "The school wants to expel him too. I... I want to add a scene, a scene where he does a righteous deed. When the school is about to expel him, he receives a call from the police station to give him a banner for his righteous deed, and then the school immediately changes its mind and starts regarding him as a model student, praising him greatly."

"Isn't this becoming quite ironic?"

"Yes, but the focus is definitely not on the irony of the school leaders' faces, but a kind of absurdity," Wu Chi said. "The point is to film a kind of boy's, a kind of spirit of cursing life through the series of chaotic things Kong Fanyu experienced."

"If you do this, many people might scold your film for being unrealistic and very superficial."

Wu Chi was silent for two seconds and said: "But I think filming a movie is something that 'those who know me say I am worried, those who don't know me ask what I want'. It's not easy for me to have a chance to film a movie. I don't know if I will have a chance to film another movie after filming this one. So, at least for this movie, I want to film something I really want to film. I didn't think clearly before, but today I thought of it."

Lu Yan He and Chen Siqi looked at each other.

Chen Siqi saw this look from Lu Yan He and knew that his attitude must have loosened.

"You should know that although many directors have said after becoming famous that they have had many legendary things in the past, such as changing scripts temporarily, changing actors, or running out of money halfway through filming and having to sell their houses to film it themselves, and they still succeeded in the end. But these are the stories of successful people. Most of the time, movies that cannot be filmed according to the plan are because the director does not have this control ability, and also because the director is too detached, messed up the movie, and the things filmed in the end only moved themselves."

"I know," Wu Chi nodded.

"If I say that if this film exceeds the budget, the excess cost will not be paid by our Linghe for you. You need to fill it with your own money, and no matter how much money you fill, the investment share of this film will not change, and your salary will not increase. Are you willing?" Lu Yan He asked.

Wu Chi nodded without hesitation.

"I am willing," Wu Chi said. "Lu Zong, to be honest, I never dreamed that one day I would have the opportunity to film a movie. I am very grateful that you can take out two million to support me in filming this movie. Before, I even begged others to invest 600,000 for me to film this script, and others were not willing."

Lu Yan He: "I like the kind of truly chuunibyou hot-blooded things in your script that cannot be seen in current Chinese youth films. I also like your style of editing. The perspective and rhythm are unique, especially with a sense of movement. However, I will be honest with you. If this film of yours fails, the next film I write will not consider you as the director."

Wu Chi was stunned.

"Originally, there was a movie I wrote that I wanted to invite you to direct after you finished filming this movie," Lu Yan He said bluntly. "The filming of this movie is just to let you accumulate directing experience."

Wu Chi showed a look of shock.

"Even in this situation, do you still want to change this script?"

"If I film this script according to the previous script and it still fails, do I still have a chance to direct the next movie you mentioned?"

"No," Lu Yan He shook his head.

Wu Chi said: "Then I still want to change the script. After knowing how this movie can be filmed better, let me film it according to the previous ideas. I feel awkward no matter what."

"Good," Lu Yan He nodded.

"Hmm?" Wu Chi was stunned.

Lu Yan He: "Then you go change it."

Wu Chi showed an expression of disbelief and surprise.

"Really?"

"Really," Lu Yan He nodded. "Director Wu, I actually believe in you. I believe you have the talent to film a movie. This is what we all saw before. But after all, filming a movie is an industry that requires large investment. We also have no way to take money to do experiments for you again and again. So, you only have this one chance."

"Good," Wu Chi nodded.

Wu Chi said: "I will go all out to film this movie."

Lu Yan He nodded.

After sending Wu Chi away, Chen Siqi looked at him with a smile.

"So, it's not just art film directors who are so willful?"

"Distinguishing movie types by art films and commercial films is outdated," Lu Yan He said. "I now feel that movies are actually divided into auteur films and non-auteur films. Commercial films can also be very auteur-style, and art films can also be filmed very formulaically."

"Do you think Wu Chi is a director with a very personal style?"

"Look at current Chinese films, who understands a movie like he said just now."

"The film market this year is so bad. My own understanding is that the biggest problem is that film companies think they have racked their brains to film various innovative themes, creative perspectives, and even exotic fields, and should attract many audiences to watch movies. As a result, it is counterproductive. It is because no matter how exotic, innovative, and creative things are, if the same group of people film them, it is like cooking. If a Northeasterner makes Hunan cuisine, the result is Northeastern-flavored Hunan cuisine."

Chen Siqi burst out laughing.

"Movies can no longer bring new feelings to everyone. The themes are different, but the things are much the same," Lu Yan He said. "They look different, but after eating, I found that the raw materials are the same thing."

What Wu Chi said is something very different from the mainstream understanding of movies in the film industry today.

Not realistic, chuunibyou and exaggerated to the end, noisy, no puberty growing pains, and no classic "syllogism", playing reversals.

What Lu Yan He thought of was an old movie he watched when he was very young before he traveled here, a movie delayed by its name.

*Sing Street*.

That is a completely non-mainstream movie, but when watching the end, Lu Yan He found that he was excited and trembling. Even though he knew that he would definitely not follow them onto that small boat in reality, in the spiritual world, he followed them onto it.

That is a kind of spiritual resonance and trembling.

Movies are just standing at a safe distance in reality, adventuring, experiencing, and resonating in the spiritual world.

Chen Siqi: "But Wu Chi may not have the ability to realize what he wants."

"However, he moved me," Lu Yan He said. "I know that if it is really from a probability point of view, the probability of his failure is very high. However, for those who create, I still insist on one thing."

"What thing?"

"Don't look at the success rate, look at the person. Don't believe in past experience, believe in the feelings in your heart," Lu Yan He said. "Whether creation can succeed, there is really no rule to summarize. Reality is that hard work may not be recognized, but casual graffiti can also become popular overnight, and perfunctory things can also take off when they meet the wind. Good things may have to go through years to be long-lasting. Then the only thing we can believe is our own feelings."

Chen Siqi: "Okay."

"Although I still think this is not a reason for a creator to change the filming plan at will, you have a sentence that convinced me, the only thing we can believe is our own feelings," Chen Siqi said. "Since this is the case, what if it really exceeds the budget? Do you really let him pay for it himself?"

Lu Yan He: "Look at how he films? If the things filmed are good, then add investment. If it is really... I misread it, he just said it nicely, then let this filming go down the drain, stop filming."

Chen Siqi: "Hmm, then you are actually rational."

"Don't say that, I am too irrational," Lu Yan He laughed and sighed. "Sister Ziyan will definitely scold me."

"Sister Ziyan won't scold you," Chen Siqi said. "Now Sister Ziyan will very seriously ponder and study every choice and every decision you make, why you are like this, and will reflect on what she hasn't thought of."

"No way?"

"You underestimate your influence on Sister Ziyan now," Chen Siqi said.

The fact that *Oh My Sea* suddenly decided to change the script temporarily actually got Lu Yan He's consent.

Li Chao was very disillusioned.

The people at Linghe were also very disillusioned.

Why would he agree?

Everyone was puzzled.

Is it because Wu Chi showed too much talent before, making Lu Yan He feel that Wu Chi really has a bright future, so he trusts him unconditionally? Or did Wu Chi once save Lu Yan He's life?

The entire *Oh My Sea* crew was immersed in a thick, unbelievable atmosphere.

However, Wu Chi was like he had been injected with chicken blood, and he changed the script that night.

The next day, Wu Chi gave the changed script to Li Chao, with two big dark circles under his eyes, really couldn't hold on, pulled open the marching bed, covered it with a blanket on the spot, and went to sleep directly.

And dealing with various departments, communication, and the execution of on-site filming, more parts were handed over to Li Chao, which became Li Chao's work.

Li Chao himself was the assistant director of this film, and it was a matter of course for him to be arranged for these jobs—even, in a sense, Li Chao had to thank his teacher for giving him so many opportunities for actual operation. The opportunities for a director to truly direct are really too few.

It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the morning.

Wu Chi opened his eyes.

He sat up like an eggplant beaten by frost, his breath weak.

People hadn't really woken up yet, suddenly, a girl rushed in front of him.

"Director Wu!"

It was the female lead of this film, Liu Guanxian.

Wu Chi was shouted by her, and people were confused. "Ah?"

Liu Guanxian's eyes were red, she clenched her fists and said: "Are you going to delete my scenes? Are you going to let Jiang Yue be the female lead?"

Wu Chi: "What the hell?"

Liu Guanxian said: "Everyone says you changed the script and changed me to the female second lead! How can you do this? You are lying to me. If you let me play the female second lead at the beginning, I wouldn't have taken this play!"

Liu Guan cried while accusing.

People around were watching.

Wu Chi stood up and scratched his messy hair.

"No, who said I was going to delete your scenes?" Wu Chi frowned and said: "I changed the script, I changed the character setting of Jiang Yue's role, not anything else."

Liu Guanxian looked at him in disbelief and asked: "Really? Am I still the female lead?"

"Yes," Wu Chi said.

Liu Guanxian's tears stopped, choked, and said: "Then okay."

She turned and left.

Wu Chi felt that the world in front of him seemed to be empty.

Li Chao ran over.

"Teacher."

"Oh, Chao—" Wu Chi raised both hands and grabbed Li Chao's shoulders.

"Let me hold on for a while."

Li Chao looked at his teacher in surprise.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?"

"I feel my legs are weak."

"Slow down, slow down," Li Chao quickly held Wu Chi's shoulders.

"Did you film the morning scenes?"

"Filming normally," Li Chao nodded.

Wu Chi was relieved.

"Who is spreading rumors that I am going to delete Liu Guanxian's scenes?"

"No, I didn't say that, but many people know that you changed the script. Maybe someone is spreading rumors."

"This damn person has a broken mouth," Wu Chi said "ouch". "Headache."

"Why don't you rest again?"

"No, can't rest, must hurry up, otherwise if this play is not filmed on time, I have to pay for it out of my own pocket," Wu Chi said, his mouth trembling when he mentioned this.

Li Chao: "..."

"Go see what you filmed first."

Half an hour later, Wu Chi sat in the machine room and didn't speak for a long time.

Li Chao looked at him a bit nervously.

"Teacher, how is it?"

Just now they quickly watched some things Li Chao filmed last night and this morning.

Li Chao didn't know how what he filmed was.

Although in his own opinion, he felt that what he filmed was not worse than his teacher's. The technical departments on the scene all said they understood what he said better.

"Not bad," Wu Chi nodded. "Better than I imagined."

Li Chao breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Chi: "Can use."

Li Chao laughed.

"Like this, the scenes behind—" Wu Chi paused hesitantly.

Li Chao looked at him nervously.

Wu Chi said: "You are better at communicating than me. You know what I want this movie to look like. You will be responsible for communicating with people in various departments in the future."

Li Chao nodded: "Okay."

Wu Chi: "I have to take the footage that has already been filmed for this movie and edit a three-to-five-minute clip first, otherwise I feel they don't know what kind of style I want, and they always choose the conventional filming plan for me."

【642-138】 (In one look)

Li Chao: "Actually, I feel the same way, Teacher. However, the people Linghe introduced to us have solid technology. Look at these two scenes. After I explained your ideas to them, they were able to find a plan that could actually film the desired effect immediately."

Wu Chi: "This is Linghe after all. Lu Yan He's requirement for people is that you must have real stuff."

Li Chao: "Hmm."

He thought silently in his heart, but he actually agreed to let you change the script...

Just this matter alone, Li Chao felt that Lu Yan He was actually not that stable.

Wu Chi: "There are no scenes for Jiang Yue in the afternoon, right?"

"No, didn't you say that all of Jiang Yue's scenes are moved back?" Li Chao said.

Wu Chi nodded.

"Then let Jiang Yue come to me, let her try to act for me according to the script I changed, I want to see the effect," Wu Chi said.

"Okay, I'll tell her agent."

For the whole morning, I don't know how many people came to congratulate Jiang Yue. She suddenly became the female lead on the second day of joining the crew.

Jiang Yue herself was confused.

She kept asking Shen Yicheng.

"Is this true?"

"Are they teasing me?"

"Can I really act as the female lead?"

"Ah? Then do I have to memorize the lines again?"

The situation hadn't been figured out yet.

Shen Yicheng said: "I don't know either. We were only notified yesterday that your scenes wouldn't be filmed for the time being. I was nervous for a whole night, thinking they didn't want you for this role and were going to expel you."

"Ah? You thought that too?" Jiang Yue was stunned.

"Then what did you think?"

"I thought it was just an adjustment to the filming plan, letting me film later. I even thought the director was dissatisfied with me and let me practice more."

"Quite optimistic," Shen Yicheng smiled slightly at her.

"Are you mocking me?"

"I'm not."

"I felt it!" Jiang Yue glared at Shen Yicheng.

"Lu Yan He and Chen Siqi are treating our entire crew to dinner tonight," Shen Yicheng directly changed the subject and said, "You should perform well tonight, don't speak without thinking, you know?"

Jiang Yue: "When did I speak without thinking?"

Shen Yicheng: "What do you think?"

"I don't feel like I speak without thinking," Jiang Yue said. "You are targeting me."

Shen Yicheng took a deep breath.

At night, Lu Yan He and Chen Siqi booked a restaurant and treated the more than 40 people of the *Oh My Sea* crew to dinner.

Because it was a low-budget movie, except for the four leads who could bring one staff member to the crew (the relevant expenses were borne by the crew), everyone else was in the crew by themselves.

The actors who came to film this movie basically had no status; they were all people who hadn't become famous yet. As for the technical departments, because of Linghe's connection, the photography and lighting departments had senior technical big shots sitting in charge.

Lu Yan He knew the cinematographer of this movie; it was Wu Zhou, who had cooperated on *Love Letter*. Because of this movie, he also won the Best Cinematography Award at the Hexi Film Festival and became famous overnight.

He was also one of the highest-paid people in this movie with a budget of only two million, with a salary of 250,000, which was higher than Director Wu Chi and lead actor Kong Fanyu.

Originally, according to the normal rules in the circle, Wu Zhou would not take on such low-budget movies now. However, because Wu Zhou became a signed cinematographer for Linghe after filming *Love Letter*, and this time happened to be his gap period, and *Oh My Sea* was a movie produced by the company, he took it.

Wu Zhou was quite shocked to see Lu Yan He.

He originally thought that no one cared about this movie at all, but he didn't expect Lu Yan He to bring Chen Siqi with him.

When Wu Zhou greeted Lu Yan He, he whispered: "Director Lu, is it true that you agreed to Wu Chi's request to change the script?"

Lu Yan He nodded. "Yes."

He asked: "What's wrong?"

"Oh, everyone is shocked," Wu Zhou said. "I didn't expect it. Can I ask privately, why? I regretted coming to film this movie a bit before. Director Wu Chi... he is too hard to understand. I often don't know what he really wants. Instead, it was Li Chao who helped him communicate these two days, and I could roughly understand."

Lu Yan He said: "Because chatting with him about this play, I feel he has ideas, and I feel his ideas filmed into a movie will be an interesting filming."

"But this is also very easy to cause problems in filming," Wu Zhou said. "This is his first movie, and he changed the script so much. Everyone didn't have much trust in him in the first place..."

Lu Yan He laughed.

"That's his business," Lu Yan He said. "However, from my perspective, I feel that this movie is used to support Wu Chi, letting him film a movie according to his ideas in a down-to-earth way. Only in this way can we see the truth, what kind of movie he can film, and what kind of projects we can hand over to him in the future."

Wu Zhou understood a little.

He nodded.

Lu Yan He asked: "After you finish filming this movie, do you have any arrangements later?"

"Hmm," Wu Zhou nodded. "The company doesn't have other projects starting for the time being. They helped me take on an external play, which is a sports-themed movie."

Lu Yan He nodded. "Who is the director?"

"Xin Yuanqing," Wu Zhou said.

"Oh, quite a famous director," Lu Yan He said. "However, why do I remember that he mostly filmed disaster movies before?"

"Isn't it that disaster movies are not popular now?" Wu Zhou laughed. "This movie seems to be a project set up to promote the male lead, and both he and I are going to work."

Lu Yan He nodded.

"Okay."

Not long after chatting with Wu Zhou, the male lead of the movie, Kong Fanyu, came over.

He was accompanied by his agent.

"Lu Zong, Boss Chen, I am Kong Fanyu."

He held a wine glass in his hand, filled with wine.

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity to act as the male lead," Kong Fanyu seemed still a bit nervous, and swallowed his throat as he spoke. "I have never acted as a male lead before."

Lu Yan He said: "Your performance in the audition was the best, it should be yours."

Kong Fanyu's agent, Liu Wang, also toasted Lu Yan He.

"There are too few people like Linghe who really use audition performance to pick actors," Liu Wang probably had already drunk some before, and it was a bit on his face, and his tone was also brought with a bit of sincerity because of the alcohol. "This kid Fanyu has seen no less than a hundred crews in the past two years. Actually, his aptitude is really good. Many plays have been talked to the last step, but his luck is always a little bit worse."

Starting from Kong Fanyu, several actors and their agents came to toast one after another.

Chen Siqi quickly changed Lu Yan He's wine glass to Sprite.

Otherwise, there would be no stopping so many people from coming to toast.

Of course, no one cared whether Lu Yan He was drinking wine or Sprite.

As long as Lu Yan He was willing to give face and drink a cup, it would be fine.

The atmosphere of the *Oh My Sea* crew cannot be compared with a big crew.

Here, Lu Yan He clearly felt that most people had a sense of anxiety.

It was the anxiety of not having made a name for themselves yet.

Whether it was actors or other staff, it was all like this.

Everyone seemed to be under huge pressure, with a kind of confusion about not knowing what the future would be like.

What made Lu Yan He feel the most emotional was when Kong Fanyu's agent, Liu Wang, quietly pulled him aside later and asked: "Lu Zong, I don't know if you have any intention to sign Fanyu? If you are willing, I want to sign Fanyu's film and television contract to you. This kid really has a talent for acting, but following me delayed him, and I can't provide him with any resources."

Lu Yan He was surprised.

According to common sense, Kong Fanyu finally acted as a male lead, and his future path should be easier.

Liu Wang, this agent, was just at the time when he could harvest, but he took the initiative to express his willingness to give Kong Fanyu's film and television contract to Linghe.

Lu Yan He felt very emotional inside.

"Our Linghe does not sign actors, only responsible for film and television production," Lu Yan He said. "Including myself, I am signed to Shihuo, and Shihuo acts as an agent."

Liu Wang showed a look of disappointment.

To him, this was a polite refusal.

Lu Yan He said: "Don't worry, maybe Fanyu's play will be a success."

Liu Wang: "Borrow your auspicious words, I also hope Fanyu's play will be a success."

Why doesn't Linghe sign actors?

Because Linghe does not have such a business sector, and also because Lu Yan He hopes to maintain the purity of production.

Everything has a price.

Like some companies, signing them in but not being responsible, throwing them aside, and letting them fend for themselves?

Lu Yan He can't do it.

However, after signing them in, tailor-making a play for him?

Unless it is like Huang Feng, Lu Yan He already has a complete idea in his heart that can be implemented, otherwise, Lu Yan He also does not have the energy to create a play for an actor he doesn't know.

In this industry, there are too many unknown small actors like Kong Fanyu and Jiang Yue.

Everyone is desperately looking for opportunities, waiting for that moment to leap over the dragon gate.

However, the lucky ones are always a very small minority.

Lu Yan He cannot help one every time he sees one.

He can do his play, and let these actors get roles through normal auditions, relying on strength and role suitability, which is already a very remarkable thing.

Kong Fanyu auditioned for so many plays, and finally couldn't get the role, is it really because of luck?

Lu Yan He knows, no.

It is because there is too much capital in this industry now. If you are an actor and you don't have a capital background behind you, you are directly excluded from the rules of the game.

The so-called capital background doesn't mean someone has to say hello for you so you can compete with others who say hello. It means if you don't have a capital background, you are a white body, and your priority sequence is last.

Others' plays also have investment. The investors behind them also have bosses, and parent companies. This is not just a role, but also a financial game.

Using you, this white body, the money you earn and the opportunity you might become popular can only be obtained by yourself. But using another actor with a capital background, points and points can be connected into lines. Many things, it doesn't necessarily have to have a clear, on-the-table interest transfer relationship to form an alliance. Some things, it is just the unspoken rules that are followed. You are in the circle, or outside the circle.

Lu Yan He's approach is to ignore whether you are in the circle or outside the circle. You are you, and you are the most suitable person for this role.

"So, do you really think Director Luo Yuzhong gave him such a high-light male supporting role in *The Golden Era* because of Lu Yan He?"

"Did you forget who the female lead of *The Golden Era* is? It's Jiang Yuqian! Which company is Jiang Yuqian from? It's Star Entertainment! For this role, Director Luo went to Star Entertainment to hold a special audition to pick actors. What does it mean? This role, he only uses Star Entertainment's male artists. People from other companies, no matter how well you act, no matter how suitable you are, no play!"

"Do you really think Lu Yan He is the kind of person who can break all the rules by acting? How is it possible."

In Ma Zhiyuan's live broadcast room, a young, chubby girl beside him said very excitedly.

"Do you really think Lu Yan He has been fighting on his own all the way? It's too ridiculous. The entertainment industry has never been a clean place. Even if it is Lu Yan He, he still has to follow this game rule. How many famous actors has he used in so many plays? Yes, I admit, he used a lot of newcomers, and then?"

"Li Zhibai and Yan Liang are so popular, you all say Star Entertainment, oh no, it's Woodpecker now. Now Woodpecker cannot provide them with any help at all, so why do they still renew their contracts? Are they stupid? You fans now always think your idols are the most awesome. I tell the truth, unless you reach the top, until Lu Yan He himself is already a capital, otherwise, no matter how bright and beautiful you are, you will always need to stand in a capital camp before you can continue to play."

Ma Zhiyuan patted her.

"Okay, don't be too excited."

He took out a bag of beef jerky and ate a piece.

"Delicious, this beef jerky is delicious."

"Ah! I'm talking, and you tell me the beef jerky is delicious!" The chubby girl glared at Ma Zhiyuan impatiently, picked up a piece, took a bite, and her face changed greatly. "Damn, this is too delicious!"

Ma Zhiyuan: "It's quite good, right? Then I'll put a link for everyone, everyone orders directly, link number 1, everyone eats melons, also eat some beef jerky, believe me, no mistake."

"Indeed, highly recommended, this beef jerky is too delicious! Wait, I have to continue talking? What else do you want to hear me say? Ah, don't let Ma Zhiyuan talk, he is an insider, what can he say, just listen to me!" The girl said firmly, biting the beef jerky crunchily.
