Chapter 113 Pool Party
Yaya stopped in her tracks and quietly looked at Zhou Xia with a smirk on her face.

Seeing this, the other four left quickly.

"What's the matter? You don't think of that kind of thing, do you! We all live in double rooms."

"Humph—shameless!" Seeing someone bite back, Yaya snorted coldly, turned around and walked forward with a 'da da'.

Out of consideration for personal safety and mutual care, Zhou Xia and the others lived in three rooms.

Zhou Xia shared a room with Chen Yuan, Yaya shared a room with female makeup artist Liu Mi, and the camera and translator shared a room.

"Yaya, by the way, you've been following me all this time, and you've saved even tips, but how can you improve your spoken English if you don't talk to Lao Mei? How are your lines? Tao Yaru is a Chinese-American girl. Speak authentic American English."

"Director, I've memorized those lines pretty well, how could my pronunciation be so standard?" Yaya said a little embarrassed.

"Really, this is not good, when the time comes for post-production, I will find someone to dub for you."

"Then you can deduct it from my salary." Yaya knew that Zhou Xia was trying to make things difficult, so she said angrily.

"Forget it, since you have such low requirements on yourself, what else can I say. As long as you can speak English lines fluently and act naturally when we are filming!"

"Well, don't worry about this, there are not many pure English conversations, and I have absolutely no problem!"

"Okay, Yaya, go back to your room and get ready. We'll go out in a while. According to the plan, we're going to shoot two scenes today, and take some shots of landmark buildings."

While the two were talking, they arrived at the door of Zhou Xia's room upstairs.

"Okay, take off your shirt, I'll wash it for you." Yaya called out to Zhou Xia, remembering what happened on the plane earlier.

"No need, we are leaving soon, you can go back and clean up." Zhou Xia declined and opened the door.

"Well, we'll talk about it when we come back tonight." Yaya agreed and went back to her room next to her.

Next, Zhou Xia and others went to Stanford University in Silicon Valley, the famous Sand Mountain Highway, Jobs' garage, Moffett Field and other places to shoot.

Zhou Xia's novels and TV series are much richer than movies, and the characters' experiences are more realistic and detailed.

The whole drama no longer just stays on the theme of simply reminiscing about love and reflecting on youth.

It is more combined with reality, including the enthusiasm for studying abroad and young people's technological entrepreneurship at that time.

Lin Yi built a model and built a social networking website based on the six-degree topology theory at the university.

At that time, around 2003, Facebook was also in the making. At that time, social networking sites were a new concept.

Lin Yi's theory was approved by the teacher, and one year later he was recommended to go to Stanford for further study.

Zhou Xiaozhi, a top student, rejected Stanford before, but now she can only pass the TOEFL test and apply for a visa to go to the United States.

Early 2004.

Lin Yi has officially arrived at Stanford. He has endless visions, plans for his future with Zhou Xiaozhi, and plans to start a business.

He imagined the future in front of Jobs' garage and went to Sand Mountain Highway to find investment.

However, when he discovered that the theory of social networking sites was ripe in the United States.

Zuckerberg's Facebook, along with several other social networking sites of the same type, have already had considerable influence in the United States.

His social networking site idea, because it missed the best time, has never been able to get financing
Lin Yi became confused, not knowing how to proceed with his life in the next step.

He wanted to go back to China, but he thought that Xiao Zhi's dream was Stanford, so he had to stick to it in the United States.

However, Zhou Xiaozhi's visa application was rejected again and again.

The relationship between the two also changed because of this, and Tao Yaru played by Yaya appeared at this time.

She relieved Lin Yi with the enthusiasm and cheerfulness of an American girl, and Lin Yi regained his confidence and continued his studies.

Another year passed, and Zhou Xiaozhi was still denied a visa, unable to come to the United States.

Lin Yi started looking for a job after graduation, but lost contact with Zhou Xiaozhi by accident.

In the end, Lin Yi went to work in New York and continued to wait for Zhou Xiaozhi to come to the United States, while Tao Yaru followed him to New York.

During the three days in Silicon Valley, I mainly filmed this part of the plot.

Zhou Xia tried her best to show Lin Yi's experience in a more realistic and detailed way.

Let this show present more realistic elements.

Going to Stanford is Zhou Xiaozhi's dream, and because Lin Yi loves Zhou Xiaozhi, he chooses to pursue his dream with her.

But by chance, he went to Stanford, but Zhou Xiaozhi was prejudiced and made things difficult by the visa officer because he had rejected Stanford before, and was unable to set foot on American soil.

In the end, both of their dreams were shattered, and their love also ended dismal and silent under the barrier of the Pacific Ocean.

This is a big climax of the whole play, a tear point.

Later, Lin Yi appeared at Zhou Xiaozhi's wedding, which was reasonable. Both of them were full of regrets, and it ended without breaking up.

Whether Lin Yi chooses to snatch the marriage or submit to reality at the wedding will arouse even greater discussions.

After a busy afternoon, I completed the filming of Lin Yi arriving at Stanford to attend classes with teachers and classmates, discussing issues.

It will take two or three days to shoot in Silicon Valley to complete all the scenes.

Silicon Valley is warm like spring all year round, and the temperature does not change much.

Even though it is winter now, because it is sunny, the temperature is around [-] degrees.

The shooting plan for the day was completed, and it was already ten o'clock when we returned to the hotel in the evening.

The open-air swimming pool outside the hotel is having a swimsuit party, which is very lively.

Seeing this hot scene, Zhou Xia immediately became interested and asked Chen Yuan and Yaya.

They are also a little interested, but thinking that it is a foreign country, the language barrier, or no one to play.

Zhou Xia had no choice but to go upstairs and change into her swimsuit, and was about to go out when Yaya knocked on the door.

"Director, give me your shirt, I told you to wash it for you."

"Well, since you are so persistent."

Zhou Xia took the white shirt and walked out of the room wrapped in a towel.

Seeing Zhou Xia wearing swimming trunks and coming out with a towel, Yaya's eyes fell on Zhou Xia Chi Guoguo involuntarily.

The strong and powerful pectoralis major seems to be full of masculine strength, and the sharp-edged abdominal muscles look even more attractive.

Yaya couldn't help but pursed her lips.

"What? Haven't seen it? If you want to see it, go swimming with me, and let you see enough!"

"Don't be smug, I didn't look at it, it was you who entered my eyes!"

Yaya dodged her eyes, grabbed Zhou Xia's shirt, turned and left.

"Hey, it's a pity. When you go abroad, you bring a swimsuit and hide it in the box. You people are really boring."

Zhou Xia shook her head and walked downstairs to the hotel.

Knowing that he was coming to Silicon Valley, everyone brought swimsuits, but now he was the only one going to play, which was a bit disappointing.

In particular, it was a pity that Yaya didn't go and couldn't teach her to swim.

"Zhou Xia, wait a moment." Yaya's voice sounded from behind.

"Why, did you change your mind?" Zhou Xia turned around and asked.

"I'll go with you too. In our scene another day, Yaru and Lin Yi met at the pool party. I just went to experience it first. However, my English is not good, so you must help me."

"Don't worry, little meaning, I'm good at being a flower protector!"

"Hehe, I'm afraid you are thinking of guarding yourself." Yaya said playfully suddenly.

Zhou Xia came back to her senses, Yaya didn't seem to call him the director just now, she called him by his name, and she was not so reserved.

"Yaya, don't slander people's innocence out of thin air!"

"Hehe, okay, then you wait for me, I'll come right after I change it!"
