Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 1485. Worth and Fish

It’s already the end of April, and the filming on the river beach has lasted for nearly half a month. We’ve already gotten into the groove.

The mountains and rivers are the most beautiful at this time of year, with lush grass, flying orioles, lotus flowers and dragonflies. On the pasture grass, crickets are jumping rapidly and mantises are ready to fight. Occasionally, a passing red pheasant will be swallowed up by it, which is so delicious.

The crew members were all beaming with joy, and at this moment they had only one request to the director: "No night scenes tonight, right? The food in the cafeteria at night is not as good as during the day."

This is not because the kitchen is perfunctory, but the chef needs to take a break, right?

Before, only the vegetable pickers had midnight snacks, but Master Jiang would prepare all the meals before leaving get off work at night, usually some bone soup noodles, and they could cook the noodles themselves in the excitement.

Now that the crew has added so many people, Song Tan has given them both a salary increase and a bonus, but Master Jiang did not put the cart before the horse. He came here to maintain his health, so he still goes back to lie down after dinner after work in the evening.

There are apprentices on duty in the kitchen. The ingredients are all good, but how does it taste...

"Oh!" Someone sighed, "The chef's cooking is still the best!"

The director immediately got angry: "Eat, eat, eat! All you know is eating! I don't want to eat?"

Once I start the night shift, my daytime routine becomes disrupted. I may sleep until noon and feel sluggish and have no appetite at noon...all of a sudden, I miss two meals!

At the same time, the director was also proud of himself to the producer: "How about it, the place I picked is not bad, right? You complained about it being too remote at first..."

It is indeed a bit remote, and it was troublesome to transport the props in, but it was only a problem that time. Look at the crew members of their crew, let’s not talk about the actors controlling their weight, but everyone else, who doesn’t eat a lot of greasy food?

They eat well and sleep well, and everyone is full of passion.

Several leading actors said that their sleep quality has improved.

Once you have a good sleep, you will be full of energy and have a clear mind, so there will be fewer problems during the day. And there is no feasting and drinking, and most of the people who come here are new generation, and they dare not mess around before they become famous...

Wow! What a quiet crew!

In short, the director has asked the producer for credit several times, and even pestered Song Tan to buy some tea to make the investment money come more smoothly!

He looked at the actors with pride as they re-applied their makeup. He waved his hand and everyone quickly got ready again: "Where are the props? Has the boat been checked?"

"Where's the engine? Cover the engine!"

The black-sailed boats were specially customized by them, two in total, and the engines they chose were relatively quiet - why do boats in fairy tales need engines? Of course, it's because the boats will be as fast as arrows later, and they have to shoot at this speed!

This is cultivation of immortality!

Anyway, the actors got back on the boat, some lay down as needed, some vomited blood as needed. Just as they were about to start work, they saw two people emerging from the reeds over there, towing a blue boat.

The ugly blue color of the cow tendon plastic boat is so eye-catching that it makes the fairy-like reed marsh look rustic.

The two parties looked at each other in bewilderment. In the end, Song Sancheng smiled awkwardly: "Um, am I blocking your TV shooting? I'll move a little further..."

He stood on the edge of the reed marsh, and was originally trying to push the boat and Qiao Qiao on it forward with both hands. Previously, half of the boat was on the ground and could not be moved. Who knew that he would bump into someone else's boat as soon as he came out?

The director's head was buzzing when he saw the bright blue. He was stunned for a while and only asked, "When did you come?"

Qiao Qiao got off the boat and raised his hand: "You guys came when you said the midnight snacks weren't as delicious as the daytime meals!"

But the filming was not over at that time, and everyone was waiting there for the actors to touch up their makeup, so no one noticed the two people who came quietly.

Until they wound into the reeds...

Now, Song Sancheng asked again in embarrassment: "How long are you going to shoot? How about I drive the boat over there first? Don't worry, it will be quick, I can catch two fish and come back."

Director: ...If I hadn’t fished before, I would have believed you.

Very fast? How fast? I'm afraid they won't catch anything in a day! After all, the fish in this river are very cunning. Someone in their crew also tried to swing the club secretly, but he didn't catch anything. He was even chased away by a goose with its wings spread out, and almost got bit on his butt.

The director didn't say anything, and Song Sancheng was confused: Does this mean he disagrees? But he hadn't eaten fish for many days, so he wanted to...

“How about,” he took a step back, “you guys take the photos, and we’ll just fish in the reed marsh.”

He has dug out the earthworms, so he has to fish.

Qiao Qiao on the side also nodded repeatedly and promised: "Director uncle, you can shoot it, we are really fast."

As he spoke, he unscrewed the plastic bottle next to Song Sancheng and poured it into the water quickly.

There happened to be two tiny red earthworms that had just been dug out, and now they fell into the shallow water on the riverbank with a plop. Before Song Sancheng could feel any pain, he saw a long black shadow not far away rushing towards him quickly. He suddenly fell silent, and wanted to slap his thigh in annoyance:

His bait!

Looking at Qiao Qiao again, he saw that he had already picked up the bucket, and now he seized the opportunity and suddenly threw it down -

"Wow!"

Then quickly lifted it up.

Everyone in the group fell silent.

When I looked in again, I saw rippling water in the bucket. Two white fish and two crucian carp were splashing around in it. Each of them was big and powerful.

Qiao Qiao's nose was also splashed with some river water, and his chest was wet, but he still squinted his eyes with pride:

"See, I told you it would be quick."

He is also good at fishing!

"Fuck..."

The crew members expressed the director's thoughts, and even the old father next to him stared at him in disbelief!

But Song Sancheng was only shocked for a short while, and soon he made up his mind: "Oh Qiao Qiao! You are worthy of being my son! Your talent for catching fish is also inherited from me. When I was young, I was very good at catching fish in the river!"

"Really?" Qiao Qiao had no doubts, but hesitated at this moment: "But I don't know if four are enough to eat. Now the bucket is occupied by me, Dad, how about I get you another bucket and you catch them again?"

Song Sancheng waved his hands frantically: "No, no, this fish is big, it will be enough to braise it later!"

There are other dishes as well, so the fish can be used as a garnish.

When the father and son returned with the bucket and the fishing rod, the crew sighed, "When I was a kid, I read in textbooks that people said to hit roe deer with a stick and scoop fish with a ladle. I always thought it was an exaggeration..."

It turns out that there are really people who “scoop fish with a ladle”…

The other group of people stared at the water, and they were also eager to make a move: "Director, we are filming in the reed marsh right now and no one is here. How about I find props and a basin later and scoop a few out? There are restaurants in town that can do it for us!"

The director's eyebrows immediately raised: "You are really arrogant! Last time, we had to pay a few hundred yuan more to cut a bunch of royal bamboo grass for the effect. How could you... how could you eat the fish of this family?"

Here we go! Good night.
