Chapter 59 Rocket Speed (2-in-1)
After all the staff finished recording the Easter eggs and personal VCRs within 20 seconds, it was afternoon and the sun outside was not as strong as it was at noon.
Xiao Zhao and another person in charge whom Jiang Qi had never met directed the staff to arrange the props for the God of Cooking Competition, and under the arrangement of the director, they arrested a staff member who was more eloquent to play the role of a candied haws hawker.
Yes, Fang Jing not only hired a professional planning team and photographers for this team building, but also hired a director.
Although this director doesn’t want money.
The director's name is Gong Ye, and he is Fang Jing's childhood friend. He studied directing when he was in college. Later, relying on the family's money and connections, I joined a large production crew as an assistant director as soon as I graduated. After being beaten hard by life, I realized that directing was not a good career, so I simply changed my career to opening a bar.
Fang Jing didn’t originally plan to hire a director for this team building, and it wasn’t really a reality show that he wanted to hire a director for. It was Gong Ye who heard that there was a live-action script for the killing part, so he rushed to help become the director. It just so happened that Fang Jing didn't have time to come over to supervise the work, so he simply sent the dispatcher over, just in case it was useful.
The actor who played the hawker was caught, but the candied haws seller was not.
"Director, adding an NPC that sells candied haws on a stick is of course no problem and won't affect anything, but we don't have any targets here to sell candied haws on a stick. There is a candied haws on a stick stall over there at the parent-child park, but it's a push cart." Another one. The person in charge, Lao Zhao, looked embarrassed.
By the way, the reason why Xiao Zhao, who is 32 years old this year, asks everyone to call him Xiao Zhao is because the other person in charge is also named Zhao and is 5 years older than him.
In order to make it easier for everyone to distinguish, the two people in charge simply asked everyone to call themselves Xiao Zhao and Lao Zhao.
"It's okay." Gong Ye said coolly, wearing sunglasses with a very unique shape that looked very expensive at first glance, "I knew you didn't have them, so I brought them. In order to be authentic during the rehearsal, I even brought the candied haws. .”
Lao Zhao:?
More than 20 prepared candied haws sprouts were stuck directly on the grass target that Gong Ye brought. The top circle was 4 candied apples, and the rest were all traditional hawthorn candied haws. Because of the high outdoor temperature, the sugar coating on the outermost layer of the candied haws has begun to melt a little, and even the glutinous rice paper is soft.
The person who played the role of the candied haws hawker was a young lady, and Wang Erya also helped her change her temporary clothes. Maybe she thought it was cute how Wang Erya always thought before speaking and then spoke slowly. The lady selling candied haws on a stick held the straw target while pulling Wang Erya to talk, and they were talking about Wang Erya's period. A costume idol drama that I watched with Huang Fugui.
The young lady was chatting about the plot, and Wang Erya was watching Tanghu Lu.
The second rehearsal was attended by cameras, camera operators, and a half-baked director. The configuration was the same as that of a formal event except that there were no real players.
In order to make this rehearsal more perfect, the two persons in charge grabbed all the free staff to serve as onlookers, so that the peripheral NPCs could also exert some effect.
Gong Ye had not read the script beforehand and did not know the plot. Like ordinary players, he only knew a rough opening background. He sat behind the monitor as if watching a drama and just watched the fun.
"Director, we are almost ready here, can we start?" Xiao Zhao stepped forward and asked.
Just as Gong Ye was about to nod, he saw Wang Erya running past him and towards Jiang Wanwan's herbal tea stall, still holding a small electric fan in his hand, obviously trying to hide the small fan under the herbal tea stall where outsiders could not see it.
"Wait a minute." Gong Ye stood up. Wang Erya wanted to attend the rehearsal and couldn't blow the fan, so he didn't want to attend.
He felt that he needed a small electric fan.
"Little sister, wait a moment." Gong Ye called out to Wang Erya loudly.
Wang Erya stopped, thinking that he had done something wrong and was a little nervous: "Yes...I'm sorry, Director, I didn't mean to do it. I thought it would start in a while, so I just went to turn on the electric fan."
With Wang Erya's current understanding of the world, she still doesn't quite understand what kind of position a director is, but she can do the equivalent conversion.
Director = Gong Ye = Fang Jing’s friend = Landlord’s friend = Landlord.
"It hasn't started yet." Gong Ye said with a smile, "I want to borrow your little electric fan. Can you borrow it from me for a while?"
Wang Erya obediently handed the fan to Gong Ye.
"Thank you." Gong Ye went back.
"By the way, I didn't notice it just now. Why is there such a small child? Did some staff member bring the child over to play with him?" Gong Ye asked.
"She is the niece of the script store staff who plays Huang Yuanwai. Their store is short of manpower, so she brought her here to help." Xiao Zhao explained, pointing to Old John in front of him, "Have you seen that foreign palace director? It's also them. The store’s clerk is the janitor, and their store is so short of staff that they even brought the janitor over to hire someone to act as an NPC.”
Gong Ye:? ? ?
Foreign cleaning?
He didn't understand, but he was shocked.
Although Gong Ye was a half-assed director, his basic skills were still there. After confirming the camera position with the cameraman, he gave an OK gesture to Xiao Zhao, and the second rehearsal officially began.
After the director gave the order, Jiang Wanwan started her performance.
"Herbal tea is cheap and delicious. It is refreshing and relieves the heat. It only costs 5 cents a bowl. It has a variety of flavors and the quantity is limited. Come and buy it!" In just a few hours, Jiang Wanwan's herbal tea has increased by two. Money.
The cameraman subconsciously gave the camera to Jiang Wanwan.
Qin Can was not to be outdone, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Roasted chestnuts with sugar, hot roasted chestnuts with sugar, 10 cents for a big bag, 7 cents for a small bag, cheap, affordable and filling!"
The lady selling candied haws on a stick was confused. She thought that NPCs like them would just stand quietly and wait for people to buy, but she didn't expect to shout.
"Candied Haw Lu, 2...3 pieces per string, exclusive secret recipe, absolutely does not contain any preservatives, everyone come and buy it!" the young lady also shouted.
Only the boy selling the candy man insisted on the policy of fishing and said in a normal voice: "Candy man, the quantity is limited, so hurry up if you want to buy."
Seeing how hard everyone worked, Gong Ye smiled and said to Xiao Zhao, "Everyone is very energetic."
Amidst the shouts and shouts, Jiang Qi banged the gong several times and followed Huang Fugui on stage.
In the morning, there was no audience, but Huang Fugui was able to act vividly, no different from before. Although there were no contestants this afternoon, at least there were onlookers. Even Jiang Wanwan and Qin Can performed with more enthusiasm than in the morning, not to mention Huang Fugui, who had a skill bonus.
Huang Fugui performed happily, and the real onlookers who were captured as onlookers were also happy to watch.
There were no real products in the stalls of Jiang Wanwan, Qin Can and the candy seller. Only the lady selling candied haws had real candied haws. Everyone was happy to watch the show, and actually some people actually went over to chat and wanted to buy candied haws.
Scan the QR code on WeChat or Alipay to pay, the kind that costs 3 yuan a piece.
Liu Lan and other NPCs with characters and plots took the opportunity to break into the masses and spread the gossip of Taiping Town to everyone.
Only Old John and Wang Erya were still in the background, but someone tried to talk to Old John. Old John could only talk about some simple things he heard, such as the legend about the God of Cooking from foreign countries.
Only Wang Erya is really free.
The lady who sells candied haws sells the candied haws on her target very quickly. The apple candied haws are 5 yuan each, and the hawthorn candied haws are 3 yuan per bunch. Huang Fugui’s show has just finished, and there is only one apple candied haws left on her target. And a bunch of hawthorn candied haws.
"Qinghe." Seeing Wang Erya standing nearby, the young lady smiled and said to her, "Here, I'll give you a candied haws, whichever one you want."
Wang Erya wanted apples, but she remembered that she was here to work as a maid, not to watch the game, so she shook her head and refused.
"Sister Hong, I came here with a member of staff to help. I can't eat now."
The name of the lady who buys candied haws in the plot is Zhang Hong. There is no detailed plot or grudges. Her father sells candied haws in the town, and the daughter inherits his father's business.
The young lady didn’t expect Wang Erya to be quite into the drama, and said with a smile: “Okay, I’ll save one for you after the game is over. Qinghe, which one do you want to eat?”
"Apple's."
Seeing that Wang Erya's acting was quite decent, the people on the side smiled and joked: "Hey, it turns out she is the little maid from Huang Yuanwai's family. I heard that Huang Yuanwai is a very good person and is willing to give charity. Why do you, a little maid, wear such clothes?" The clothes are so dusty."
Wang Erya explained sternly: "Because I am the rough maid in the backyard of Yuanwai's family. Today is the competition for the chef god to select the heir. Our wife is worried that the servants at home will not be able to serve the other Yuanwai and the magistrate. My sisters in the hospital couldn’t come, so I was asked to come out to see the world.”
The people around him all laughed when they heard what Wang Erya said. Just as they were about to say something else, Gong Ye from behind suddenly shouted "Cut!"
It can be heard from his clear and round words, loud and energetic voice that Gong Ye has wanted to say this word for a long time.
Gong Ye stood up happily, holding a small speaker and said: "Very good, the actors above performed very well, and the group actors below also cooperated well. It's just that when they first started selling, the voices of the vendors had better be lower. , otherwise it would be too noisy.”
"Let's rest for a few minutes and then go straight to the next part of the story. Everyone should drink water and wipe away sweat. When this is over, we will do it again."
After that, Gong Ye put down the small speaker and electric fan and walked straight to the candied haws stall.
"Bring me some candied haws." Gong Ye has been eyeing the candied haws he brought for a long time. "It seems that I will have to bring more candied haws tomorrow. I think there are a few vendors, but four is actually enough. Then the stalls will Prepare more food and get more varieties.”
"Okay, Director." The young lady said with a smile and reached for the hawthorn candied haws. "That's good. It's good to eat, drink and watch the game. It's best to sit down. That's quite interesting."
The young lady found that Gong Ye was a little far away from her and could not reach it with her hands, so she handed the candied haws to Wang Erya and asked Wang Erya to pass it to Gong Ye.
Wang Erya took the candied haws on a stick, handed it to Gong Ye respectfully, and said, "Master Gong, this is the candied haws on a stick you want."
Gong Ye's hand hung in the air, his expression instantly dull.
"Pfft." When the people on the side heard Wang Erya's call "Master Gong", they couldn't control themselves and laughed directly.
Gong Ye took the candied haws of apples quite awkwardly. His complicated mood at the moment was no better than when Jiang Qi was called Mr. Jiang by Wang Erya that night: "You don't need to call me Mr. Gong, I don't play the role of Mr. Jiang."
"But now the magistrate and several officials are away, and you are a good friend of the magistrate. What are you if you are not the magistrate?" Wang Erya expressed confusion.
As the father of the sponsor, Fang Jing got the role of county magistrate.
"I am the director, the mysterious person behind the scenes. Just call me Director Gong." Gong Ye began to fool the children.
After a few minutes of rest, the rehearsal continued.
There is no need for the cameraman to take pictures this time, as long as Gong Ye is watching from the side.
Because there was no Weixian Tower to enter, Huang Fugui changed the plot to be announced on the spot, and everyone present helped him keep this secret. Weixianlou has since changed its limit of one table per day to 30 guests per day. The low-key ‘God of Cooking’ will try his best to give every diner who likes vegetable noodles a chance to taste the taste of vegetable noodles.
When the plot was completely over, the audience burst into warm applause.
Gong Ye clapped the most happily, and those who didn't know thought that the movie he directed was finished.
In the third rehearsal, because all the audience already understood the plot, everyone's focus was no longer on Huang Fugui, but on the NPCs outside the competition venue.
After the second rehearsal, the onlookers who were temporarily captured found that most NPCs still had many interesting stories to dig out.
Just like playing a game, some people like to follow the main plot, while others like to follow the side plots. After completing the main plot, you will naturally explore the side plots.
The sky started to get dark during the third rehearsal, which coincided with the official event tomorrow.
C-position matchmaker NPCs like Liu Lan were directly surrounded by onlookers, and Jiang Qi, as a servant outside the Huang Yuan, was not spared either. When Jiang Wanwan and Qin Can saw this, they stopped peddling and began to share gossip and quarrel. A group of people just watched them argue for 10 minutes about who is the real golden bachelor in Taiping Town.
The two also added some original plots during their quarrel, which the candy seller next door listened to with great interest.
Even the cameraman was attracted to eat the melon.
The rehearsal was a great success.
Everyone was busy until about 8 o'clock in the evening. After confirming that all processes, projects and props were OK, several people in charge arranged for everyone to take the bus back. Jiang Qi and his group also took the bus. They didn't have to go to the end. They just had to tell the bus driver to let them off when they got there.
When Jiang Qi returned home, he felt like he was falling apart from exhaustion.
He wasn't physically tired. He just walked around, talked to people, didn't move heavy objects or did any heavy work all day.
Mainly mentally exhausted.
After rehearsing three times in one day, even the most interesting plot was a bit numb. Coupled with the constant talking, Jiang Qi felt dizzy and dry when he got home. He didn't want to move and just wanted to lie quietly on the bed.
He really admired Jiang Wanwan in terms of speaking. Her voice was hoarse from shouting in the morning, but she could still continue shouting in the afternoon. Jiang Qi even wondered if his cousin had a strong voice.
After lying quietly on the bed for almost half an hour, Jiang Qi took out his mobile phone to read the chat in the WeChat group and found that the bosses of the two dormitory roommates were having another rough day, but Yu Fang's entrepreneurship had made some progress.
After many days of unremitting efforts, he turned a loss of more than 2 million into a loss of 2 million.
Still gratifying.
Although they are all bad ways to be beaten to death, the latter may leave a whole body.
Thinking about the two unlucky roommates who work so hard every day, they have to get up at 6 o'clock to go to the laboratory, and have to reply to the boss at one or two in the morning. The data couldn't be produced, and the modeling was all a problem. The boss had one idea a day, added a group for comparison today, and a chart tomorrow. If asked, he would provide all support except help. Jiang Qi felt that he was not so tired anymore.
Waiting for the two unlucky roommates to graduate, they will be able to adapt seamlessly to the 996 work environment.
It's possible that they can't adapt. The work intensity of 996 is not as intense as theirs.
It's a pity that the majors are not very suitable, and the two of them are not locals, otherwise it would be a good choice to invite them to work part-time in the store.
Jiang Qi happily opened the dialog box with the customer service card and started to check the star upgrade progress.
He insists on chatting with Xiaoka every day, and the chat records are all about the progress of star promotion. At first glance, Xiaoka looks like a machine number.
The progress of rising stars is amazing.
Old John has been a passerby for a day, and his salary has not increased at all, which is normal.
Huang Fugui's stable performance may be because he didn't make vegetable noodles, and it didn't rise at all, which is normal.
Wang Erya rose by 22 points.
When Jiang Qi saw that Wang Erya's star promotion progress had become 24/100, everyone was dumbfounded.
What is strength?
What does latecomers take advantage of?
This is it!
Seeing Wang Erya's star-rising progress like a rocket, Jiang Qi began to doubt that it was not only Huang Fugui but also Wang Erya who would be promoted to two stars tomorrow.
If you are lucky, Wang Erya can really rise to the star level directly.
Fang Jing has more than 80 employees there. Although Wang Erya is not so lovable that everyone likes her, Wang Erya has only contacted more than 30 people today.
There were many staff members she had no contact with.
Suppose 78 people like her tomorrow, Wang Erya will be promoted to star.
Jiang Qi will now have two two-star card characters!
Wuhu!
