Chapter 3 Scrap
November 11th at 5am.
Zhou Yang got up.
The first thing I do when I wake up is to touch the bill in my arms.
When he saw that the bill was still there, he carefully put the bill in his pocket again, and began to walk downstairs to prepare for breakfast.
When passing room 302, he stopped for a moment, hesitating whether to knock on the door.
In the end, there was no knock on the door.
Director Hong Xiang and Deputy Director Liu Yi had a one-night meeting in room 302 yesterday. They are making up their sleep now, so it doesn’t seem good to disturb them early in the morning.
And 5 o’clock!
Basically no one gets up at this point.
“Morning boss!”
“So early?”
“Yeah, I’m used to it.”
“Breakfast is steamed buns and soy milk. It’s a bit hot, so be careful.”
“OK.”
He walked downstairs, greeted the hotel owner, and then walked into the breakfast area of the hotel under the slightly surprised eyes of the owner.
Breakfast is not only buns and soy milk, but also porridge and milk bread…
Zhou Yang saw all this and felt an indescribable happiness in a trance. Even when he sat in a chair and took a sip of soy milk and felt that the soy milk was slightly hot to his mouth, he still felt a little unreal.
The soy milk is hot, how long ago was that?
He never thought that this soy milk tasted so good.
And he found that the buns and bread were very delicious…
He ate two buns in a row, a bread, a bowl of porridge…
He hasn’t had breakfast for more than two years.
Why?
To save money.
“Dad, this soy milk is getting harder and harder to drink!”
“Dad, I almost vomited…”
“Let’s go out to eat tomorrow…”
“It’s too bad to eat, what kind of buns, ah ah ah, don’t eat…”
“…”
Just when Zhou Yang ate everything cleanly, and even a little bit unfinished, he heard the sound of a plate falling to the ground.
He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with a pot belly and a child who just threw the bun on the ground and stepped on it hard, as if to vent his anger.
And the middle-aged man with a pot belly smiled helplessly beside him, but didn’t mean to stop it.
Zhou Yang looked at the minced meat and the flattened bun skin on the ground.
His throat trembled slightly, and he couldn’t control his sense of unprovoked anger.
The food he was reluctant to eat for two years was thrown on the ground like this…
This is like a trampling!
but……
After all, he didn’t show it, just sat quietly.
When the father and son left, he took the broom and cleaned the food carefully, and only left the breakfast area after cleaning.
…………………………
The rising sun in the morning is always so beautiful.
It is gentle and gives a feeling of light and warmth no matter the time of day.
It often allows people in low valleys to draw a little power called hope.
Zhou Yang, who was taking out the photographic equipment from the van, saw the rising sun.
He was happy for no reason.
The two directors did not arrange any work for Zhou Yang, but Zhou Yang always felt that as a member of the crew, he should do something, and, according to the agreement, he was responsible for repairing these equipment.
so……
He started to pick up the bill in his arms and checked the equipment in the crew.
Camera, lens, tripod stand, one set of cold light source, one set of warm light source, control stand, recording microphone…
He found that not only all the things in the bill were broken, but even the things outside the bill were all broken, and they were completely broken.
In photographic equipment, nothing is intact.
Zhou Yang fell into contemplation.
How long does it take to repair these things?
But a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. After Zhou Yang’s initial head was big, he began to seriously plan his repair plan.
He majored in electronic information technology engineering. This major studied a wide range of things, including soldering circuit boards, high-frequency soldering, wiring inspection, and programming…
He will naturally look at the circuit board.
He picked up the Sony professional camera, lowered his head and silently observed the circuit diagram next to him.
……………………
noon.
Liu Yi and Hong Xiang were awakened by a phone call in their sleep.
On the other end of the phone, there was a very nice voice.
Hong Xiang is very serious in dealing with it.
“We have already contacted Han Chong, he will probably join the crew today…”
“Yes, I know…”
“Don’t worry, boss, I’m from a serious academic background, I won’t lie, I’ll send Han Chong’s contract later…”
“The agent confirmed, I have a recording here, um, so, I’ll shoot a video for you in the afternoon…”
“…”
After making the call, director Hong Xiang stretched his waist and said softly “It’s done”.
“Brother, what should we do about Han Chong?”
“What should I do! Han Chong is not a big star, and spending 100,000 yuan to let him come and take a photo, isn’t it very easy to record a photo? Then invite some third- and fourth-tier stars, pull them over to stand on stage, and then start from those investments. The business side pulls a two million investment, isn’t this easy to catch?”
“But, what about the crew? Just the two of us?”
“Find a way to pull in some group performances, make a full set, stupid!”
“Where to pull?”
“Isn’t this small town all over the place? Just pull it over if you want to, just pull up the table. After the table is pulled up, won’t everything be stable?”
“OK, all right.”
“By the way, let’s get this unlucky guy Zhou Yang up. These filming equipment are too heavy to die, just let him help carry them… Later, I will find a hidden place to put them up… By the way, how much do I still need to purchase? Top tent, preferably spray our company’s LOGO, so that it is more like…”
“Okay!” Deputy Director Liu Yi nodded, and then smiled slyly, “By the way, brother… Is there anyone here, what…”
“What?”
“It’s the kind, the happy kind, um, it’s a foot bath shop, or a massage shop, or a shampoo room… It’s not been a little hot recently, I want to reduce the fire…” Deputy director Liu Yi smiled, as if It’s like remembering some good things, and I feel a little bloody…
“You can’t die. When the money is in hand, I’ll take you to a good place!”
“Cough, cough, I like the kind with glasses…”
“It’s alright, let’s go to work!”
“Got it!”
Liu Yi laughed until the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, but after leaving the room, he put on his eyes again, and knocked on the door of Zhou Yang’s room with a very gentle look.
“Xiao Zhou, get up!”
“Xiao Zhou!”
“Xiao Zhou?”
“…”
knocked for a long time, and after hearing no response from the door, he kicked the door immediately.
The door opened…
Empty.
“What’s the matter?” Hong Xiang heard the news and came over.
“This unlucky ghost is not in the room!” Liu Yi’s eyes widened.
“Where are you going?” Hong Xiang was a little dazed, and then he glanced at the window next to him subconsciously. When he saw the van vanished, he broke out in a cold sweat. “Where’s our van! Wait, this guy looks like Poor people, they drove our van away and sold our photographic equipment as scrap metal, right?”
“Grass!”
When Liu Yi heard this, his face turned pale in shock, and followed Hong Xiang on his slippers and ran downstairs.
“I just said that this unlucky ghost can’t be wanted. It looks honest, but it turns out to be a blindfolded wolf!” Director Hong Xiang ran down, and when he saw the empty parking lot, he immediately started cursing.
“Grass! What should we do now? Otherwise, let’s call the police!”
“I report to you, uncle, do you want to be locked in by yourself?”
“Then we…”
“Find!”
“…”
“…”
The director and the assistant director searched for a long time, and finally learned from the boss that Zhou Yang was checking the equipment early in the morning.
After the inventory, all the equipment was carried back.
After , he asked some inexplicable places such as parts store, screw shop, and even the location of garbage recycling station and repair shop, and even asked the boss to borrow a thousand dollars in the name of the crew!
When seeing the IOU, especially after seeing the words on the IOU, Director Hong Xiang instantly felt that the world was spinning!
This shit, not to mention selling the equipment, why did you pay a thousand bucks when you left?
…………………………
The sunset tinged the sky red.
is like blood.
Standing under the sunset, inevitably makes people feel a touch of sadness.
There were constant quarrels in room 302, and there was even the sound of smashing tables and chairs at one point.
Every time the boss knocked on the door to go in, he saw Hong Xiang staring at him hideously, as if he was going to swallow him.
“We will pay you!”
“…”
By the evening, the quarrels and slaps finally stopped a little.
The knock on the door rang again.
“Didn’t I **** say I would pay? You are paralyzed, you… Zhou, Xiao Zhou?”
“Brother… Well, the circuit board of the camera is a bit difficult to repair, but I have repaired the equipment for the warm light. Why don’t you try it?”
“…”
Time seems to be condensed.
Hong Xiang’s ferocious expression became unbelievable.
Incredibility turned into shock…
When he saw the lights of the warm light equipment come on, he started to feel overwhelmed again.
