Chapter 34 A Hermit Master, So High in Senior Year 3
Chapter 34 A Hermit Master, So High in Senior Year 3
As they went upstairs to tour the rooms, Zhou Zhou clicked his tongue repeatedly, turning around and around with his hands behind his back. Finally, with an envious and satisfied expression, he gave another high evaluation: "I really do prefer self-built houses. Even if I worked hard my whole life in a big city, I never imagined I could have a room layout like this. I can't afford it, I simply can't afford it!"
Weng Jing gestured with her fingertips, "No problem at all. Teacher Zhou Zhou is not only a talented actress, but she also secretly bought it outright after we got back!"
Liu Fen laughed unkindly: "We're from Shanghai~"
"It's just that you live in Shanghai, sister!" Zhou Zhou grabbed Weng Jing's shoulder and shook her violently. "You can't be so ridiculous! What am I? What have I done to deserve this? I could find a place like this in Shanghai, even if I sold my husband's kidneys, it wouldn't be enough!"
Weng Jing smiled mysteriously: "๑乛◡乛๑, is it that you don't have enough, or... um... who can say for sure?"
Zhou Zhou: "..."
Bu Xiao piously clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, Sister Bo. Without you, I would never have been able to join a group with such conditions in my life. I extend my greetings to you!"
Her assistant nervously licked her lips, gently tugged at her hem, and mouthed: "Teacher Caiyan."
Bu Xiao grinned but remained silent.
Bo Caiyan didn't mind at all, and pinched Bu Xiao's cheek: "I've heard that your last appearance seemed particularly bad?"
In fact, the four people, including Bu Xiao, had not had any real interaction with Caiyan, who was addressed as "Sister Bo" by the investors, since they joined the group. After all, the incident happened before they even reached the designated location for the show, and now that they had been given a small warning by their assistant, they were a little afraid to speak anymore.
Liu Fen saw through her blunder and chuckled, "It's alright. Our team's Director Shen is a 200-pound strongman; he can withstand anyone poking him in the back. Don't worry, just say whatever you want. Let them all come and criticize Director Shen!"
Director Shen hissed, "Hey... Liu... are you not even going to consider our shared alma mater?"
Bu Xiao's mouth slipped out, and another string of words blurted out: "Eh? So Director Shen and Sister Liu are from the same school? Taking on such a young team?"
The 200-pound strongman gritted his teeth so hard they were about to crack: "Fine, fine, fine, fine, you're trying to subtly imply we're both older, aren't you? Listen up, female celebrity, I won't give you a single close-up shot in the final cut!"
"Director Shen... I made a mistake... Please forgive me... Please give me another chance..." Bu Xiao pouted pitifully, "Or how about I give you a back massage?"
The entire production crew: "Wow~"
Director Shen took a step back: "Fine, fine, Liu'er, I asked you to help take care of your little sister, and this is the good little sister you've raised for me? If it weren't for the fact that her surname is Bu and your husband's surname isn't Yao, I'd be saying 'like mother, like daughter'—I don't know if I should say it or not. Is this already threatening my career?!"
Zhou Zhou suppressed a laugh: "Xiao Bu, how about we continue spreading rumors about one of your previous shows? Maybe that will cause less damage to your and Director Shen's careers, and it'll be safer for you too."
"Hahaha~"
"Yes, yes, Professor Zhou Zhou really knows her stuff!"
"What is social etiquette? This is social etiquette!"
Bu Xiao pursed her lips: "ε=(´ο`*))), 18 of us girls lived in a 12-square-meter prefab house. If we turned on two hair dryers at the same time, the circuit breaker would trip. On average, three cockroaches would crawl up into the bathroom every day. We worked 11 hours a day, not counting our homework, but on average, each of us could only get less than two minutes of footage. I had no idea what they were doing. After the show aired, I gained the most followers, but only 30,000, and the fewest only gained 2,000..."
Zhou Zhou: "Huh??"
Liu Fen's eyes widened: "What kind of production team is this? It's so ridiculous!"
"Look, this is all for the sake of the show. Teacher Liu didn't even know!" Bu Xiao was almost in tears. "That's why I was so angry, so I secretly bought each of us a tiny bit of powder, just a tiny bit, and then I was caught red-handed..."
"puff!"
"Xiao Bu, you really are a genius at creating low-quality variety shows!"
"Hahaha, oh dear, I can't take it anymore..."
"It's clear that appearing on a variety show does have its benefits. Look, among your 30,000 followers, there's Director Shen. And here you are!"
"Cancel! Cancel! Cancel!" Director Shen shouted with boundless enthusiasm, listening to the laughter of the entire crew. He felt that all the anxiety and suffering he had endured this time was truly worthwhile. He had produced so many projects, but he had never experienced such harmony before. Not a single second needed to be cut, it was all-you-can-eat: "Um, Teacher Lu, this room is indeed beautiful, these stone walls..."
"Hmm? It looks cracked, but it's actually quite sturdy. It's made of stone inside and out, with concrete in the middle. This mountain collapsed once before, and I rebuilt it after the old villagers moved down the mountain. The main structure is C60, and some parts are C100..." Lu Chi continued, "I kept the stone and wood mainly to maintain the original style..."
Director Shen was sweating profusely: "Seize the young master's designation?? So, Mr. Lu, you're building this house as a permanent fortification?"
Lu Chi nodded: "More or less, after all, our family has lived here for over nine hundred years, almost a thousand years!"
Liu Fen glanced sideways, Weng Jing and Zhou Zhou exchanged glances, and all the staff members gaped in astonishment. Bu Xiao, speechless, stammered, "Snatching a youth? Over nine hundred years? Is it the 'year' of one or two years?"
Director Shen swallowed hard, hesitant to ask any further, thinking to himself that this person was indeed no ordinary individual: "Ahem, Mr. Lu, I think you've misunderstood. We're certainly not worried about safety. Your family has lived here for over nine hundred years, so it's definitely safe. What I mean is, these wood and stone structures and log furniture are very beautiful, but the lighting might be a bit off. We need more than the normal lighting required for a house. We're filming 24 hours a day, so the supplementary lighting intensity will be quite high. To ensure the filming effect, we'll need to install some nails and change some light fixtures, which might cause some damage to the walls. What do you think?"
"Oh, that's alright. The amount of wire used for the wiring is enough. Just drive in nails to fill the gaps; it's easy. I'll show you the tool shed in a bit." Lu Chi thought for a moment and said, "There's one more thing..."
"Teacher Lu, please speak."
"Tomorrow, my classmates are going up the mountain for a pork stew. It's the last six months of senior year, and they rarely get a break, so..."
"High school? High school!"
"A reclusive master, I thought he was as tall as a three-story building, but actually he's as tall as a senior high school student!"
"Oh, this..."
"No wonder he looks so young; I thought he was at least in college..."
"Little brother, so cute!"
"..."
Director Shen was momentarily confused, then a brilliant idea struck him—he felt he could seize the opportunity to create a great opportunity.
That night.
Rewrite the script.
