Zero-sum game

When he arrived at the filming location, Zhou Xingchuan rested for an afternoon, and the next day was the opening ceremony of the new film.

The whole thing was quite grand. All the staff members and special guests of the group came over to take a group photo. Zhou Xingchuan moved forward to make room for the big brother who was stepping on his feet, while worrying about whether the people in the last row could be in the room. Find yourself in the photo.

It was also at the opening ceremony that he met Wan Yafei, the male number one who had been belatedly.

Wan Yafei has acted as the male lead in a popular family-themed drama, and he is much higher than Zhou Xingchuan in terms of his status and acting age. Being able to act as the second male lead with a similar role to Wan Yafei, Zhou Xingchuan has made a lot of money.

When he saw Wan Yafei, he was wearing sunglasses. Zhou Xingchuan took the initiative to go up to say hello. He didn't seem to notice at first, and then he suddenly smiled and shook hands with Zhou Xingchuan, "Hello, hello, take care of me."

Zhou Xingchuan also smiled, and then stood aside.

At this time, a girl's voice next to her said: "Tsk, bad virtue."

Zhou Xingchuan glanced back subconsciously, and found that it was Lu Na who was playing the third female role. She was also a fresh graduate, but there were so many people around who obviously didn't want to see the leading role, it was indeed a bit fierce.

Lu Na noticed Zhou Xingchuan's gaze, showed a harmless smile, and turned her head away as if nothing had happened.

As soon as the opening ceremony is over, the filming will start in the afternoon, because Wan Yafei, the leading actor, is in a hurry, and he has a movie in the works at the same time, so the time he can give here is very limited.

Zhou Xingchuan continued to review his lines while putting on makeup. Fortunately, the costumes of modern dramas are not complicated, and it will be over soon.

His first scene was with Wan Yafei, so he had to wait for Wan Yafei to finish his makeup before starting.

At this time, Lu Na, who was also waiting for the opening scene, changed her seat and sat next to him, and said, "Hi, my name is Lu Na, and I have seen you play Lin Lu Bai before."

"Hello, Zhou Xingchuan." Zhou Xingchuan replied briefly.

"Did you hear me complaining about Wan Yafei just now?" Lu Na asked with a smile. She originally had a very well-defined facial features.

It must be a lie to say that he didn’t hear it, Zhou Xingchuan nodded, “I heard it.”

"I knew at a glance that you and I were all the same way. At that time, you must have complained in your heart that he was pretending to be forced." Lu Na smiled, "Wan Yafei, if you don't pretend, you will die. If you take off your pants, you will die." Pretending to be a gentleman."

The second half of the sentence made Zhou Xingchuan almost choke on the water in his mouth, thinking that this girl really dared to speak.

At this time Wan Yafei just came out, so Zhou Xingchuan said hello and went to film.

Regardless of whether Wan Yafei likes to pretend or not, at least his professional ability is still very good. Zhou Xingchuan felt that acting with him would not be a difficult task at all, and he would be able to get into the mood soon, so their scene ended quickly.

The next scene is between Lu Na, who plays the policewoman, and Wan Yafei. It is relatively short and the filming is very fast.

When Zhou Xingchuan was waiting on the sidelines, Mo Rui handed him water and said quietly, "Those two people are in a relationship with an ex-couple, and they broke up just last month."

"..." Zhou Xingchuan guessed that there must have been some festivals between them before, but this kind of relationship can be filmed together in the same group, and he also admires their psychological quality.

"No matter how unhappy the breakup is, the meeting is still calm," Mo Rui said, "It's not like some people who meet their ex-boyfriends once, and their souls will be hooked. It's difficult."

...Zhou Xingchuan, who was checking his phone to see if he had received a text message, felt that he had been connoted.

After the short indoor scene was filmed, it was about to transition to the outdoor scene.

Ruishan is already very hot this season, and the sun is very hot after [-] o'clock in the afternoon. They have to complete a chase + fight scene under such conditions.

Zhou Xingchuan stood on the side for a while, waiting for Wan Yafei to work hard to move the expandable RV and tents and put them away.

Wan Yafei came over to chat with him and said, "I don't have any hobbies, but I have high requirements for the quality of life, and the working environment should not be too bad. Would you like to sit in my car? I just opened a bottle recently. It's not bad. Bordeaux."

Zhou Xingchuan politely declined, turned around and went to a makeup artist to touch up his makeup, otherwise the camera would have caught him sweating profusely before he started chasing the suspect.

Finally, the last long shot was over, Mo Rui hurried up to wipe his sweat, and asked: "There is water and iced watermelon juice, which one do you want?"

"Watermelon juice." He himself doesn't like sweet drinks, but at this moment he really wants to drink something iced.

While drinking watermelon juice, he suddenly thought, is Xiaohe village so hot now?It seems that Shen Yan doesn't even have a refrigerator, why don't you just buy him a refrigerator next time and go there.

Peaceful days always pass by quickly, before you know it, summer vacation is coming, Shen Yan finished the afternoon class, arranged the exam time for students of all grades, and told everyone to start their own review now and prepare for the final exam.

Naturally, there was a lot of wailing in the class. No matter where the students are, they definitely don't like exams.

Shen Yan stood on the podium and said with a smile: "Relax, the test is all about what you have learned."

After school, Shen Yan routinely checked every corner of the class, and when he looked up and saw the two old fans, he couldn't help being a little annoyed.

The fans are relatively old, and there are only two of them. The students sitting in the corner can't blow it, and the students sitting under the fan are dizzy.What's more important is that the electric fan doesn't work at all on a sunny day, the wind blowing out is always hot, and the children can't stand the heat.

"Looks like I'm going to the town to apply for education funding again..." Shen Yan muttered to himself.

This is also a headache, after all, it is not as difficult as finding money.

On Monday, Shen Yan gave the students a rare day off to study at home by themselves, because it was a market day, and he had to go to the Education Bureau to find the old principal if he had a car to go to the town.

Before Shen Yan came here to teach here, there was only one old principal in the school, but he was also sent from abroad. Because he was relatively old, the town decided to transfer him back, but no one wanted to come to Xiaohe Village. In poor places, the arrival of Shen Yan can be said to have solved the urgent need.

He doesn't know anyone in the Education Bureau except the old principal, and the education funds can only be found by the old principal.

He got up early in the morning, squeezed among the people who went to the market in the village, and bumped all the way, and finally arrived in the town.

The Education Bureau didn't have a big face. He just wanted the guard to help find someone when he entered the door, but he didn't expect to look at the guard's uncle—isn't this the old principal?

The old principal was also a little ashamed, saying that he was getting old and was about to retire, and that a young man in the bureau took his position and sent him to the guard room, and he couldn't get in the way of education funds.

Shen Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and find the current director in charge. As a result, the other party couldn't do without three sentences: "difficult", "expecting social donations", and "asking for instructions from above".

Shen Yan left the Education Bureau dejectedly. Most of the markets outside had already dispersed by noon. After touching the money in his pocket, he chose to eat a bowl of cheap green vegetable noodles to fill his stomach. He would continue the tug-of-war with the director in the afternoon.

After coming out of the noodle shop, he checked the balance on his account. The salary of the supporting teachers was already pitifully low, and they mainly lived on subsidies.

The worst case is that he can't apply for education funds, and he pays for it himself—buying an air conditioner is a trivial matter, and it is estimated that the price will double when it is transported to the village and installed by someone.

Moreover, the school's electrical system is very old. Even if you buy an air conditioner, you may not be able to install it. The circuit needs to be repaired and refurbished. There may also be a large increase in electricity bills in the future. There are actually quite a lot to discuss.

Thinking of this, he walked into the Education Bureau again. This time, the old principal at the door greeted him and told him not to go in. The director had already gone home.

Shen Yan had no choice but to come out again. It was at noon when the sun was at its highest, and he stood in a shadow by the side of the road, worrying, did he want to talk to the villagers again?

Everyone is farming, and it is not easy to earn money. It was very difficult to renovate the school before, let alone install an air conditioner for the children. This thing is simply a luxury in Xiaohe Village.

He found a step and sat down, thinking that he would go back to Xiaohe Village's car later, otherwise he would not have a place to live in the town.

Not far away is a shop that sells electrical appliances. Two people are loading a refrigerator onto a truck, presumably to deliver it to the buyer's home.

The refrigerator is also good. If there is a refrigerator, students who live far away don’t have to always bring sweet potato rice balls, which are not easy to perish, for lunch. But it would be great if there is a cafeteria for the children at school, but He is the only teacher, not to mention the cafeteria, as well as the purchase of ingredients and cooks. Where do these funds come from...

Thinking of this, his face was suddenly frozen by something, which made him startled.

"Drink water?" Zhou Xingchuan said.

Before Shen Yan could react, a bottle of chilled mineral water was stuffed into his hand.

"Why are you here?" he finally asked.

"I wonder why you are here." I thought you never planned to leave Xiaohe Village in your life.

Zhou Xingchuan did not dare to say the second half of the sentence, "The filming will start again tomorrow, so I will come here a day earlier to buy some things."

He obviously meant something, Shen Yan glanced at the refrigerator that had been loaded into the truck, "Did you buy that?"

Zhou Xingchuan nodded, "Although you didn't tell me, I guess you need it very much."
