Chapter 73: As a boy, one day you will have to face what you fear
That evening, a message popped up in the crew’s WeChat Shen Ming: "Next week we will be filming for two days at a seaside resort hotel in a neighboring city. Meet at 10am tomorrow and take the bus. The crew will reimburse us for food and lodging."
Just a few lines of text made all the staff excited.
"I've wanted to go to the beach for a long time, but I never had the money or time. Director Shen is like a worm in my stomach. I love Director Shen so much!!"
"Xiao Wu, how can you talk like that? Director Shen is our God of Wealth. Director Shen, please accept my greeting. Thank "
"."
Shen Ming just laughed off their antics and just typed a message.
Director Shen Ming: "After arriving at the hotel tomorrow, everyone can move freely as long as it does not delay the next day's filming."
When people in the group saw this message, they cheered.
Then, there was a ding-dong sound.
A new red dot suddenly appeared in the chat box.
Joanna: "Brother, if we go to the beach, can I bring a swimsuit? I used to practice on the school swimming team, and I'm really looking forward to swimming in the real ocean."
Shen Ming just replied with a "OK".
But he was a little surprised.
I didn’t expect Joanna to be such a good swimmer. I originally wanted to just take a few photos and call it a day.
Now it seems that she can be given a few more shots.
If this episode is well shot, the character of Lina will be firmly established in the hearts of the audience.
The next day at ten o'clock in the morning, the bus set off on time.
Joanna sat behind Shen Ming, discussing the afternoon schedule with Sun Xiao with excitement and anticipation, but her eyes kept glancing at Shen Ming in the front row from time to time.
Really, she has already mentioned that she will bring a swimsuit, why is the senior brother still so indifferent?
The bus was shaking all the way, and everyone on the bus gradually became drowsy from the initial excitement.
When they opened their eyes again, there was a faint salty smell in the wind, the smell of the sea.
Many people ran out of the car excitedly. Shen Ming fell far behind the crowd and walked into the cafe next to the hotel.
Director Zhao of the aquarium was already sitting by the window waiting for him.
After the pleasantries, Director Zhao got straight to the point and asked, "Director Shen, I wonder if you can accept my proposal? Just one shot of the slogan will do. I won't take up too many of your resources."
"As a reward, I can reduce your venue rental. I only ask you to agree to do me this favor!"
Director Zhao has gray hair at the temples. He is forty years old, looks fifty, but has a heart of sixty.
Shen Ming looked at him and nodded, "Director Zhao, although I cannot reveal the contents of my script in advance, I can tell you clearly that I share the same desire to protect the ocean as you do."
"Seventy percent of the Earth is covered by oceans, and humans have been extracting resources from the oceans, but have never noticed that the oceans also feel pain. The evil deeds people do on earth leave traces, such as deep pits, floods, etc., but the surface of the sea always looks calm, as if nothing has happened, but the fact is just the opposite."
"The ocean is also in tatters, and we need to express our apologies through actions."
Director Zhao looked at the young man in front of him. His eyes were sincere and what he said was true.
As a result, Director Zhao's frown slowly relaxed and he smiled easily. "Thank you for doing your part to protect the ocean. I look forward to seeing the results of your film."
The tide rose and fell, and the sea was covered with golden light.
At six o'clock this weekend, all the crew members who had gone out for fun returned to the hotel and gathered together to eat dinner and watch the tenth episode that was about to be aired.
As his own unit responded, Sun Rui felt a little embarrassed.
After all, I was being watched by the crew, and it would be bad if I didn't perform well and was laughed at. I didn't expect a thunderbolt at the opening.
As soon as the opening song ended, Xincheng was frightened by the NPC in the haunted house and hid behind his sister. In the end, he couldn't even stand steadily.
Seeing this, everyone laughed out loud.
Sun Rui's sister Sun Xiao laughed the most happily.
"Brother, I didn't even see you fall down in fright when we were filming. Why are you still so afraid of ghosts? You can't find a girlfriend if you're too timid."
Faced with his sister's teasing, Sun Rui chose to just ignore it.
Anyway, he can't hit her, and he can't win the argument. It's just bad luck for him to have such a sister.
Then, the camera turned to the other side where a boy was scared to tears by the NPC in the haunted house.
He also had two wicked friends around him who laughed at him for being timid, pushed and shoved him, and deliberately teased him, making him embarrassed in front of his sister.
Just when everyone was sneering at the naughty kid, Shinjo appeared like a hero, and gently took care of the boy's emotions, allowing his sister Mayumi to take the boy's sister away temporarily.
As for them, let's talk a little about boys.
"I was born by the sea, but you may not believe it, I am a bad swimmer because I am afraid of water. Every time I go to the beach, I will be laughed at."
"But there was one time when my sister Mayumi, the older sister just now, almost drowned in the sea."
In a few words, thrilling.
The lost boy was immediately attracted to the attention.
The crew members who were playing around in front of the screen also quieted down and looked at Xincheng, who looked serious and a little handsome.
"In order to save her, I jumped into the sea without hesitation. At that time, I didn't even realize that I was afraid of water. Then I gradually learned how to swim, and people stopped making fun of me."
"As a boy, one day you have to face the things you fear, and you can't back down."
"Besides, you are the older brother. You have the obligation to protect your sister at all times, right?"
Xincheng patted the boy's shoulder earnestly, and the words "protect your sister" made the boy raise his head again.
The more viciously they wanted to embarrass him in front of his sister, the more he should stand up and muster his courage!
In front of the screen, Joanna was also reminded of a small incident from her childhood.
When she was a child, she lived with her grandfather in the countryside for a period of time. One time, she was chased across two streets by a big white goose.
Later, with the help of her grandfather, she grasped the fateful neck of the big white goose and ate a delicious iron pot stew.
Johanna licked the corner of her lips, poked Shen Ming beside her, and asked, "Brother, I'll treat you to iron pot stew."
Shen Ming looked at her with a question mark on his face.
Don’t girls like to eat Western food nowadays?
Why is Joanna so unique?
At the same time, the picture changed again.
The two boys who were just laughing at their friend suddenly encountered a huge horn coming out of the ground!
A huge beam of light shot out from that horn, and the light spots spread out in all directions, spreading over the entire amusement park, invisibly forming a sphere.
Just as everyone was looking at the fireworks-like spots of light and sighing, someone hit the air with a loud bang!
The entire amusement park is trapped by monsters!!
Instantly, the ground collapsed!!
