Chapter 250: It Won't Be Long Before She Cries

Thinking that she shouldn't let the other party's words fall to the ground, Shen Li took the initiative to answer.

Unexpectedly, after Sui Yu heard Shen Li's words, she just glanced back lightly and didn't respond again.

Shen Li didn't think much about it, just continued to look out the window curiously.

The mountain road was bumpy, and someone couldn't take it and wanted to vomit not long after setting off. Shen Li also felt dizzy from being shaken. Seeing this, the director had to let the motorcade stop, and everyone took a short break to get out of the car and get some air.

Shen Li took out her phone and looked at it, finding that the phone had no signal. Perhaps because it was in the mountains, she didn't know if there would be a signal after arriving at the village.

Laughter came from the side, and she subconsciously looked up.

She saw Sui Yu and several male actors of the same age gathered together chatting vigorously, especially Sui Yu, who was almost talking incessantly by herself.

"You guys are all filming this type of movie for the first time, right?"

"I've filmed many, this is the third time cooperating with Director Xiang."

"That film he won an award for? I didn't catch it, I didn't have a schedule at the time, so I missed it."

"I find you a bit familiar, was there a drama of yours that was quite hot last year? A period drama..."

She was so talkative in front of the three boys, throwing jokes and answering with ease, accompanied by a few hearty laughs from time to time, and soon she had blended in with the others.

Shen Li didn't care, and after listening for two ears, she got into the car directly.

Little did she know that Sui Yu's peripheral vision had been paying attention to her. Seeing her get into the car, she changed the subject: "You guys won't be like He Zixiao and can't endure hardship, right?"

"That can't be, we're all mentally prepared."

"The contract is signed, I don't have money to breach it."

"Exactly, even if it's hard, we have to grit our teeth and finish filming. Fortunately, the filming cycle of this movie isn't long, just persist and it will pass."

Several male actors shook their heads one after another, indicating they could persist.

Sui Yu laughed heartily: "I'm used to it, I've encountered filming conditions harder than this, it's just that I don't know what some people are here for."

"Who are you talking about?" Several people looked at her curiously.

Sui Yu curled her lips with a fake casualness, and before saying it, she first stated her intention: "It's not that I'm targeting anyone or looking down on anyone, it's just that I'm worried that some people blindly want opportunities, only to find that they can't handle this opportunity at all. Filming a movie on location in a rural area is really hard. You boys can grit your teeth and persist, but it's really hard for girls."

Saying this, she looked toward the van and added: "Have you guys looked into the one in the car?"

"You mean Shen Li?"

Sui Yu nodded.

Someone hurriedly answered: "I know, didn't she hit a few hot searches last year? She's quite quiet and beautiful in person."

Others also indicated they knew Shen Li.

Sui Yu pretended to be casual: "It's not that I'm saying, she suddenly came to film this type of movie from the ancient idol track, can she really do it?"

"Sister Sui Yu, words shouldn't be so absolute, right? You're also a girl, don't you also always film this type of movie?"

"I'm different, I've always treated myself as a boy, I'm really not exaggerating. The little girls I've encountered filming this type, if they don't give up halfway, they cry while filming, and after filming, they all say they won't film again."

Hearing her say this, several boys couldn't help but look at each other. Thinking about it, it didn't feel exaggerated. This kind of filming condition was really something most girls couldn't bear.

Seeing the reaction on their faces, Sui Yu felt proud in her heart: "Just watch, it won't be long before she cries!"

After resting for a while, Director Xiang Tian greeted everyone to get on the car and continue the journey. Shen Li looked through the car window and saw Sui Yu and those boys laughing and playing as they got on the car. It didn't look like they had just met at all, but rather like friends who had known each other for a long time.

Shen Li blinked in surprise. She didn't possess the ability to quickly blend in with a group of new faces, and it was the first time she had seen it with her own eyes.

It was just that thinking about how she had taken the initiative to answer the other party just now, but the other party was indifferent, made her feel a bit strange in her heart.

The motorcade traveled on the mountain road for nearly another hour and finally arrived at the filming location, "Honglin Village."

This village in the big mountains was built on the hillside of Butt Mountain. Large areas of farmland were reclaimed around the village. Looking into the distance, everything that met the eye was endless hills and forests.

For the first time, Shen Li had a real feeling for the words "trapped in the big mountains."

Perhaps because it was the first time seeing so many outsiders, the villagers heard the news and all rushed over to watch the fun, and most of these people were left-behind elderly and children, and the remaining young and middle-aged were all women.

Director Xiang Tian was in a hurry to arrange the opening ceremony, which was an indispensable link for all crews, to pray for smooth filming, and couldn't be omitted.

The actors gathered together to offer incense and worship. The crew also had to ask the local gods for instructions when opening in a new environment. Although it was superstitious, everyone felt that sincerity would lead to success, and this link was also the rule of all crews.

It seemed they hadn't seen so many outsiders, and the villagers watched from afar, with different eyes, mostly curious, but also very vigilant.

Not long after, the village chief arrived late.

The crew had already greeted the village chief about the filming, and what they rented were the houses in the village.

After greeting, the village chief led the crew to drive to the center of the village. The villagers watching the fun didn't disperse, following behind unhurriedly, and the children chased the car laughing.

There were no roads built in the village, and there were muddy dirt roads everywhere. The humid air after the rain mixed with the cow dung and horse dung on the ground, and the smell was very pungent.

"This place is really something, how did the director find it?"

Someone looked at the broken and backward village and couldn't help but speak.

Others just followed and smiled upon hearing this, but Shen Li's mouth moved, and she swallowed the words back just as she was about to speak.

Thinking of the embarrassment of her taking the initiative to answer and no one responding just now, she chose not to speak this time.

But she knew the other party's confusion, because this movie was adapted from a true story, and the prototype of that true story happened in a village on another hillside of "Butt Mountain."

The director visited that village for this movie, and then wandered around to visit several villages in the surrounding area, and finally chose the filming location here.

These were all the preliminary work Shen Li did to join the crew. She checked a lot of information, so she knew all these things very well.

Not long after, the car stopped slowly, and everyone got out of the car.

The assistant director frowned and greeted everyone to gather: "Let's arrange the living places first. The rooms are rented from the villagers. The crew has prepared new bedding, so you don't have to worry. It's just that we can't do one room per person. This is marked in the contract, everyone should know."

At this time, Sui Yu raised her hand: "Director, I have an RV, so you don't have to arrange for me."

On the other side, Han Qidong also said: "I also brought an RV."

Seeing this, Shen Li had to raise her hand actively: "Director, I also have an RV."

I originally promised everyone that I would start updating more from Monday, but moving is really too tossing and tiring. Many trivial tasks were finished in the middle of the night.

But I don't want to let everyone wait anymore, so I plan to stay up late from midnight to six in the morning to update more for everyone. To prevent people from not sleeping in the middle of the night, I will release the updated chapters together at six tomorrow morning, so you can watch them when you get up.

The updated chapters don't count as the minimum update, so besides the updated chapters released in the morning tomorrow, there will still be two minimum updates in the evening. I can't guarantee how many chapters I can update in total, I will try my best.
