A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 336: Encountering the Film Crew at the Airport

Chen Jinnian was not just joking about inviting a martial arts director, he really wanted to do it, and he happened to know someone, Wu Jing.

Although Wu Jing's action design and style do not match this play, he knows a lot of people and has worked with almost everyone from the mainland and Hong Kong. It is much easier to find people through him than for Chen Jinnian to find them himself.

After staying at Wang Yidi's home for a few days, he boarded a flight to Africa alone to participate in the filming of a movie.

Starting from Guangzhou, stopping in Qatar, and heading to his destination in South Africa, after a long twenty-hour flight, he finally arrived at Cape Town International Airport.

After saying hello to the black flight attendant, he got off the plane carrying his suitcase and followed the flow of passengers out, but as he walked, the crowd suddenly dispersed in the huge terminal.

This scene made Chen Jinnian, who was following behind, dumbfounded. He looked blankly at the travelers of different skin colors in the hall. He didn't know which one he should approach first when he wanted to ask for directions.

After standing there and looking around, he found a group of Asians who seemed to be on a show, so he went over with his suitcase to ask some questions.

He found a man who was looking down at his phone and asked politely.

"Hey, hello. I'd like to ask if this hall is the only exit?"

The man raised his head, his pupils twitching slightly, and shouted in shock: "Why is it you?"

After Chen Jinnian saw the other person's appearance clearly, he was also extremely surprised and asked, "Brother Zhang, why are you here?"

He didn't expect that when he casually asked for directions, he would find Zhang Ruoyun, whom he had met once. The two had met during the audition, and she had kindly reminded him that there were many people on the crew and it would be crowded.

"We're recording a show." Zhang Ruoyun was delighted to see someone she knew on the other side of the world. She pointed to the filming crew at work and asked, "Hey, what about you? Are you here on vacation?"

"No, I have a movie to perform. I just got off the plane and haven't found anyone from the crew to pick me up yet." After he answered, he turned his head to look at the counter in front of him and found that there were quite a few celebrities, including Jiang Shuying, Nazha, and a bunch of handsome men and beautiful women.

"The production team is quite wealthy. What kind of variety show are you recording?"

"Few flowers."

As soon as Chen Ruoyun finished speaking, Chen Jinnian quickly took two steps back with his suitcase, looking vigilantly at the group of people in front of him. After all, the "Flowers and Youth" series has a bad reputation and is considered a milestone in domestic variety shows.

"How many flowers do you have?"

Seeing his fearful look, Chen Ruoyun could actually understand. He was also scared to death when he accepted the invitation. If the program crew had not repeatedly assured him that those gods would not come back, he would not have dared to accept the notice.

"Flowers 3."

"Is it torn?" Chen Jinnian continued to ask.

"Not torn."

"Really?"

"Nonsense, ask the production team if they still dare to do that?"

Chen Jinnian looked at the camera pointed at him, then looked at the director holding the walkie-talkie not far away and nodded seriously. "There's nothing Hunan TV wouldn't dare to do."

Chen Ruoyun tried hard to keep a straight face after hearing this. He had worked with Hunan TV many times and was afraid that he would laugh so hard that he would lose all the invitations. He stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "It's been a year since we last met, and you're still so outspoken."

"It's okay, so-so."

Jiang Shuying and Nazha, who were renting a car at the time, found that half of the cameramen were filming behind them, so they turned around and looked.

They found Chen Ruoyun chatting and laughing with a handsome guy, and when they saw that he was carrying a suitcase, they mistakenly thought that he was a new guest, so they hurried over to welcome him.

"Hello, are you the South African tour guide for the relay?"

"No, I got lost before I even left the airport. I wanted to be a tour guide so that the lions on the savannah could have a snack tonight," Chen Jinnian replied.

It was the first time he saw Jiang Shuying, and he had only one feeling, that was white. Her two long white legs were generously displayed, making her extremely conspicuous in the crowd.

"You are not an artist invited by the program team." Jiang Shuying found that she had guessed wrong, so she turned around and looked at the staff to verify the information.

Before the staff could give her an answer, a familiar Chinese curse was heard.

"Damn it, I've been looking for you for a long time, and you're actually chatting up a beautiful girl." Wu Jing rushed up from behind, slightly bent his left arm, hooked it around Chen Jinnian's neck, and knocked him down.

Everyone was frightened and screamed in surprise. On the one hand, it was the accident that happened in front of them, and on the other hand, it was Wu Jing who screamed. Everyone in this group knew Wu Jing.

"Wu Jing, you bastard, how dare you sneak attack me." Chen Jinnian no longer cared about the camera and started greeting the other party.

Wu Jing laughed heartily and pulled him up. "I'm just trying to toughen you up in advance. Be more vigilant. We're filming in the slums, and those people have real weapons. If you don't want to return home with a few more holes in your body, you'd better look behind you when you walk."

Chen Jinnian shook his head and brushed off the nonexistent dust. "There are so many slums, and you had to choose a country with gun laws to film this in."

"It doesn't matter whether guns are banned or not in Africa. Transportation here is a little more convenient." Wu Jing has done research and it is slightly safer to shoot in South Africa.

"Then let's go back to the set and film now."

"We can't shoot anymore. We've already finished work," Wu Jing introduced.

"It's so early. I think the local time is probably one or two in the afternoon at most." Chen Jinnian looked at the time displayed in the hall. Wu Jing was filming very hard and there was no way he would give up the afternoon shoot.

"It was too hot in the afternoon, and the drunk people in the slums woke up in the afternoon. The locals didn't dare go in. If our crew went in, we would be committing suicide."

This was Wu Jing's first day in South Africa, and the local guide solemnly warned him about this chaotic, poor, lawless place where death is as easy as drinking water.

The casual conversation between the two has scared several guests of Flower and Youth. They are here to travel and record a variety show, not to play a live-action version of Call of Duty.

"Brother Jing, don't scare me. What you said just now was just a joke." Jiang Shuying said with fear. She was really scared by what Wu Jing said.

The others were similar. Nazha held Jiang Shuying's arm tightly, while Zhang Ruoyun was touching her nose nervously.

"Hey, you are here to record a show." Wu Jing only then noticed these artists. They were all wearing hats and sunglasses, and he really didn't recognize them.

Although he was not familiar with these people in "Flowers and Youth", he had met them at parties and award ceremonies, so they were not complete strangers.

"You're just playing in the city and on the highway. There's nothing to worry about. Just be careful not to go out alone at night and don't go to the slums. Also, if you see anything like zombies on the street, stay away from them."

After seeing Wu Jing enter the camera, the program director hurried over and suddenly had a brilliant idea.
