The influence of domestic film festivals is limited. If one wants to make his work famous, the best way is to go abroad to participate in exhibitions and win awards, especially for independent filmmakers like him who are not very good at commercial films.

So this was her chance, and as for competing with a group of kids, it didn't matter anymore.

Time passed slowly, the fog dissipated, the morning sun set, and beads of sweat appeared on Xie Qingliu's forehead. He had practiced the technique of picking osmanthus flowers last time, so this time he was familiar with it. However, hard labor was indeed tiring, especially for his weak constitution.

"Qingliu, take a break!"

Mei Mei noticed that Xie Qingliu was feeling a little weak, and quickly called out.

"Yeah." Xie Qingliu exhaled, took off the backpack and sat down on the ground.

The elegance and transcendence that just surrounded him disappeared in an instant, and now the impression he gave to these women was... a very good-looking ruffian boy.

"Brother Qingliu, drink some water."

Irene came up with a smile, holding the mountain tea prepared by the old man in the morning and showing her hospitality.

"Don't come over here...go away." Xie Qingliu took the water and held the girl's head with his backhand and said unhappily, "I'm all sweaty, don't you find it smelly?"

"No problem." Irene didn't feel disgusted at all. Instead, she took a deep breath and said, "It smells good."

"Try to disgust me again?" Xie Qingliu was drinking water and almost spit it out when he heard this.

"I'm just telling the truth."

The girl squatted obediently to one side and didn't move forward. She was worried that Xie Qingliu would choke while drinking water.

Xie Qingliu twitched the corner of his mouth and looked around. Sister Yu and the others were staring outside warily, but they didn't look here. Lin Qingyu was also staring straight at Wang Qian, and her eyes seemed as if she was ready to strangle the other person to death at any time.

"what?"

Xie Qingliu turned his gaze to the other side of the osmanthus forest, where Li Suifeng was silently picking flowers, and his technique was somewhat similar to his.

With two clicks of the tongue, Xie Qingliu sighed in his heart that he was worthy of being the male protagonist, but he didn't know if the other party had the ability of "cleverness and dexterity".

"pity."

Shaking his head, Xie Qingliu actually felt sorry for Li Suifeng.

The other party has this ability and can achieve something in anything he does. He may not be able to reach the top completely, but as long as he seizes the opportunity, it is not difficult for him to become a star.

But he happened to be mixed up with Wang Qian and the Golden Retriever. After this time, even if Xie Qingliu lost, Li Suifeng would become a puppet of this group of people. Wang Qian is not a good person.

"Brother Qingliu, why are you betting with them?"

Irene's voice interrupted Xie Qingliu's thoughts, and the girl's tone was full of doubt.

To be honest, she didn't like this group of people, and it was she who brought them here, causing Xie Qingliu to gamble with a group of bad guys.

"Ten million, will you give it to me?" Xie Qingliu asked cheerfully.

"Well... if Brother Qingliu wants it, I can give it to him." Irene said embarrassedly, "Grandma is quite rich."

"Idiot." Xie Qingliu said with a twitch of his lips: "He won't let me go whether we bet or not. If that's the case, then I'll show my strength thoroughly. No matter if we win or lose, it will only end when one side completely surrenders. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I see." Irene blinked and clapped her hands, saying, "So Brother Qingliu means to defeat them completely?"

"You're not that stupid." Xie Qingliu waved his hand, stood up and said.

Irene nodded with a silly smile, then stood up and ran away happily because the filming was about to begin.

The girl walked to the drawing board, picked up the paintbrush and stared at Xie Qingliu intently. In her hand, she had an extra communicator, which was different from the one she used to contact Sister Yu. She took out a special headset from her collar and put it on. She looked at Xie Qingliu who started working again five meters away and silently pressed the red button in the middle.

"Xiao Ai, why are you using emergency contact all of a sudden?"

A slightly anxious and dull voice came from the headset and asked.

"Grandma, I've been bullied." Irene said with a smile on her face, but her voice was more dull than ever before.

"who!"

"Nasty people."

Irene drew on the drawing paper and said in a clear voice: "Grandma, I have someone I want to protect. Can you teach me how to do it?"

"Hahahaha!"

All I heard was a hearty laugh from the headset, followed by an exclamation: "Xiao Ai, you've finally grown up."

pS: Woohoo!

Chapter 117 I Said

At half past nine, Xie Qingliu had finally collected enough osmanthus flowers after two hours, and the sun was already shining brightly.

Different from the dry heat in the sky, this forest is stuffy. Because it is an orchard and too close to Bailu Lake, the sunlight, water vapor and autumn weather make this place like a steamer.

Xie Qingliu's clothes were all soaked with sweat and stuck to his body. He was not fat to begin with, and now he looked quite thin.

Then... he noticed that the idiot Irene was looking at him with hungry eyes.

At this time, everyone was resting under the shade of the trees. Xie Qingliu leaned on the cushion. This thing was prepared by Qingyu, and it seemed to be made by his grandmother herself. It was made of gray cloth and no one knew what the lining was. It felt cool to the touch and was a little harder than down or cotton, but it was more comfortable.

Irene was sitting on the ground next to him, staring at him.

"Can you stop looking?" Xie Qingliu couldn't bear it any longer. He felt like he was stripped naked.

"Oh!"

This time, Irene rarely talked nonsense, but turned her head away with a red face.

Xie Qingliu was stunned. He was sure that the girl was thinking about something bad. She must be.

"She is so beautiful, why is she becoming more and more abnormal?" Xie Qingliu glanced at Irene and sighed in his heart.

In the original plot, Irene is a simple, innocent, and kind-hearted girl. Under the influence of her parents, she is a completely harmless little angel. He also felt this way when he first met her, but now this idiot is almost turning into a nympho.

Xie Qingliu was taking a break here, while Director Gao had just started working on the other side. A group of people began to set up the venue, lights, makeup artists and so on. It looked like filming a movie, and it really had some flavor.

Because the silly girl Mei Mei likes photography, she has personally visited many filming sites to observe. Now there is a filming site right in front of her. The girl is watching it with great concentration, with only Director Gao in her eyes.

The other party was indeed a capable person. He was in charge of the entire situation by himself, and his command was in an orderly and extremely skilled manner.

Unlike yesterday's sudden accident, the group today was well prepared, with food, water, and tools, looking like a complete professional team.

"It has that flavor." Xie Qingliu was amazed at what he saw.

The online food video was actually shot in such a professional way that Xie Qingliu didn't know how to comment on it for a moment.

Does something like pastoral cuisine rely on professional ability?

I don't know what this director Gao had in mind, but he actually found a very retro Han costume for Li Suifeng to wear.

As we all know, the most important thing in doing farm work is to be efficient, but this Han suit has loose sleeves and dragging trousers. It looks stylish when walking, but it is very troublesome to do things.

“Artist, haha!”

Xie Qingliu complained in his heart but did not comment.

Life comes from art and is higher than art. It looks beautiful to be going through all this trouble, but the performer himself probably feels like he has eaten shit, right?

"Kakaka!"

All I heard was Director Gao shouting with an unhappy look on his face: "Li Suifeng, do you know how to walk? Walk steadily, keep your shoulders tucked in, and boys should have temperament, do you understand?"

Li Suifeng's forehead was covered with sweat, but he couldn't wipe it off. This set of clothes was not only cumbersome but also extremely thick. He was walking as if he was wrapped in a quilt. It would be strange if he could stand up straight.

The most important thing is that he has to follow the instructions of director Nahabi and work in various elegant postures, which is just like embroidering with shackles, which is very uncomfortable.

"Wipe his sweat off and continue." Director Gao said coldly, "We only have seven days. Don't waste everyone's time. The dozen or so staff members here will have more work to do because of your mistake."

"Yeah! I know." Li Suifeng wanted to cry. He had never experienced such hardship since he was a child.

"Can you please pay more attention, kid?" Wang Qian sat on a folding chair, crossed his legs and cursed, "I didn't ask you to come here to play, be serious. If you can't take a good picture, I won't be able to afford the 10 million even if I sell you."

The golden retriever prince stood at the edge of the field with a pale face, staring at Irene with infatuated eyes. However, the girl had no eyes for him at all. She kept sticking to Xie Qingliu, and her happy look was like needles piercing his heart.

"Xie Qingliu..." The golden retriever prince muttered while gritting his teeth. At this time, he heard Wang Qian's scolding in his ears. He looked at Li Suifeng in confusion. The other party's strange attraction was very strong, but now the child seemed very depressed.

The golden retriever prince frowned slightly. As a prince, he needed to learn to be considerate of people of lower class than himself, so as to show the kindness of a superior.

"Student Suifeng." The golden retriever slowly walked forward and called out.

"Mr. Li." Li Suifeng responded with his head slightly lowered.

"Don't mind Wang Qian's words, just keep working hard." The golden retriever said with a gentle smile, "You have a unique talent, don't be disturbed by other people's words."

Li Suifeng's body trembled, and he looked up at the golden retriever prince in front of him. He was very handsome, more dazzling than the models and stars on TV, and he was also a prince of noble status.

And now, the other party didn't care about the difference in status at all and comforted him so considerately. Li Suifeng just felt that the bitterness in his heart seemed to have found a place to rest.

"Well, thank you." Li Suifeng choked slightly, holding back the tears in his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice.

"I'm optimistic about you." The Golden Retriever Prince was very satisfied with Li Suifeng's reaction.

Civilians are like this. As long as you show them some care, they will be deeply moved and will work hard for you.

Xie Qingliu was stunned. What were these two doing? One had tears in his eyes, and the other was smiling like a gay. Was this awkward?

"Depend on!"

Xie Qingliu is a serious straight man, but these two people made many images that shouldn’t appear in his mind appear.

Previously, he was tricked by his classmates into watching a gay movie that he shouldn't have watched. Although the two male protagonists were both handsome, it left a trauma on Xie Qingliu. Now this scene directly reminded him of this unbearable memory.

"Brother Qingliu, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Xie Qingliu's face trembling and rubbing his arms constantly, Irene asked anxiously.

"You...your golden retriever prince, has he ever had...any homosexual experience before?" Xie Qingliu asked.

"Gay?" Irene blinked, rubbed her chin and thought for a moment before saying, "I don't know if he is gay or not, but he does support homosexuality and has even given speeches! He talks about respecting human rights and stuff, which is disgusting."

The corner of Xie Qingliu's eye twitched slightly. In the plot, this prince and the male protagonist had a very good relationship, but not so close that they could sleep together. Could it be that... the game planner was really so politically correct that he even set up LGBT gameplay for this golden retriever?

pS: ahhhhhh!!!

Chapter 118 Wonderful Scenes

The Bungarus multicinctus, a terrifying snake with extremely venom, ranks eighth in the world in terms of toxicity. It is distributed in central and southern China, and Bailu Lake happens to be the habitat of this snake.

The first time Xie Qingliu followed Lin Qingyu here, it was too late and the girl specifically reminded him not to go into the bushes casually.

In the subsequent filming sessions, Xie Qingliu also saw this kind of snake with his own eyes. It was black and white in color and moved very fast. It was clearly five meters away when he saw it, but it was close in the blink of an eye.

Xie Qingliu was one of those people who was not very afraid of snakes, but he was still scared to death. At the same time, Lin Qingyu was also scared to death. The girl almost kicked the snake to death.

After resting for a while, Xie Qingliu asked everyone to prepare to go back. There was plenty of time for the shoot this time and he was not in a hurry at all.

"Qingliu, are you leaving?" Mei Mei asked reluctantly while looking at the filming next door.

"How long do you want to watch?" Xie Qingliu asked with a twitch of his lips.

Mei Mei turned her head away in embarrassment. Only when she saw a director directing the scene did she realize how immature her filming was and how amateurish she was in shaping the shots. It turned out that she still had a lot to learn.

The previous success was mostly due to Xie Qingliu, who set the goal very clearly and she also had a clear outline.

A true director should follow his own ideas, and the director is the soul of the entire shooting scene.

"Qingliu, I will try my best." Thinking of this, Mei Mei suddenly stared at Xie Qingliu and said seriously.

"Ah ha?" Looking at the girl's charming face full of determination, Xie Qingliu looked confused.

The filming next door was in good condition. After receiving some comfort from the prince, Li Suifeng endured the dragging of his clothes and followed Director Gao's instructions. The entire filming scene was solemn.

Wang Qian felt bored after sitting for a while, so he called his bodyguard to take some things from him, ran to the shade of a tree at the edge of the field, sat down, and started to play happily.

After puffing out a few cigarettes, he felt his head was light and his body seemed to be flying. The comfortable feeling as if he was in mid-air made him feel extremely refreshed.

At this moment, the grass at his feet moved. Wang Qian, who was in a psychedelic stage, didn't notice it at all. He stood up and prepared to leave, feeling ecstatic, and then... he felt a slippery feeling under his feet.

"Eh?"

Wang Qian lowered his head in confusion. Is someone taking a shit here?

Wang Qian, who was feeling nauseous, became much more clear-headed. When he was about to lift his foot, he felt a sharp pain in his leg. He jumped, and then saw a black and white thing leap out and disappear towards the shooting site.

"I..." Wang Qian was stunned at first, and then he thought of what Xie Qingliu said in the morning, that there were many snakes in this place.

He felt numb and sore in his calves, and with the effects of the banned drugs, he just felt a little sleepy. He slowly pulled up his trouser legs and sure enough, he saw two more bloody holes.

"Fuck! Help!"
