Chapter 70 (Part 2)

In order to hurry up, Yang Tingyao insisted on taking a taxi to the set.

Of course, I have to leave a good impression on me when I was in the first audition. It would be better to be early than to be late. In view of this, Zhang Shaoyu had no objection. Anyway, this is not the first time he has taken a bus and asked Yang Tingyao to pay.

After leaving the dormitory, Zhang Shaoyu slowly hugged Yang Tingyao and walked towards the road.

Halfway through the road, a light rain suddenly drizzled in the sky.

"Damn it, why does this ghost weather change at will? Fuck." Zhang Shaoyu pulled Yang Tingyao and trotted to a newspaper and magazine mailing booth on the side of the road, and said to Yang Tingyao: "Senior sister, you can take shelter from the rain here first. I'll go back to the dormitory to find an umbrella."

Just in time, a light green Xiali taxi with an empty car red light was coming towards them.

"Shaoyu, don't bother, let's take a taxi." As she said that, she was about to raise her hand to stop the car.

Zhang Shaoyu thought about the RMB in his pocket, raised his hand to stop Yang Tingyao's call, and said, "It's rare to have a rainy day. Senior sister, don't you feel that walking in the rain is a different kind of interest? Waiting for me here, I'll come soon."

After saying that, he ran back to the dormitory in the rain at a speed of 100 meters.

When he came back to the small mail booth with a folding umbrella panting, his body and head were half wet.

Fortunately, the fabric of the "road goods" jacket he was wearing was rainproof, otherwise he would have to go back and change his clothes.

Yang Tingyao looked at his slightly embarrassed look and shook her head lovingly, took out a pack of tissues from her handbag, and gently wiped the rain on his face and head.

"Shaoyu, you see that your clothes are wet. Why don't we go back and change another one? I remember you have a dark blue suit."

"Please, and I'm the most annoying about wearing suits. Isn't my casual outfit quite good? Senior sister, I know you want to dress more orthodoxly with the audition and leave a good impression on people. However, you should know me. I am the only virtue I have. No matter how gorgeous the clothes I wear are, there is cloth sticking in my pocket, and I don't have a penny. Isn't this kind of pretending to be a scene? Isn't it my Zhang Shaoyu doing?"

Yang Tingyao knew that she could not argue with him, so she no longer insisted on her own opinion. She used her hand to sort out her slightly scattered hair for him, and asked while she was working, "Shaoyu, what time will the crew ask you to audition?"

"It's not decided, but I remember that they all started construction at 9 o'clock in the past, so we rushed over at this point," Zhang Shaoyu said gasping: "It's just after 8 o'clock now, and there's an hour, which is enough for us to walk from here to Xichun Street."

"Shaoyu, you didn't have much rest last night. Let's take a taxi, okay?" Yang Tingyao said softly.

"Senior sister, I'm in good spirits now, let's go." Zhang Shaoyu stretched out the umbrella, took Yang Tingyao's hand and left.

Seeing that he had no intention of taking a taxi, Yang Tingyao didn't say anything more, but just held his arm tightly and followed him silently.

"In the rain, I have seen you, and in the night, I have kissed you..." Zhang Shaoyu sang softly all the way, looking in a great mood. Perhaps last night, he created a new song that made him very satisfied, and he was still in the state of excitement of his passion for creation.

Yang Tingyao looked up at his sharp edges from time to time, and her face was full of happiness and loving expressions. She knew that he was intentionally making her happy. At the same time, she also knew that he didn't want to take a taxi, but that he had no money on him and was unwilling to spend her money. Alas, her husband's self-esteem is really too strong.

The flying winter rain is like the sky emitting its inexplicable sorrow, a hint of hazy bringing people an unspeakable depression.

For the sake of life, the urban people who keep rushing around are constantly intertwining and shuttle on the roadside and sidewalks. What swallows them is the city's reinforced concrete jungles.

After walking two streets, Yang Tingyao seemed to remember something and said, "Shaoyu, the weather has changed. Will that crew still come out to shoot outdoor scenes as usual?"

Zhang Shaoyu was stunned for a moment, stopped and said, "Yes, damn, why didn't I expect it! Damn, they will definitely not go out to shoot street scenes on rainy days."

"Do you have their phone number? Why don't you call and ask first? Don't miss the time and we're going to be in a detour."

"Well, I'll call the little girl in charge of the crew."

Zhang Shaoyu took out his cell phone, found Zhang Xiaoli's cell phone number from the phone book, and dialed it.

"Hey, Sister Xiaoli? I'm Zhang Shaoyu."

Although Zhang Xiaoli is younger than him, this little girl entered the industry earlier than him in the film and television industry, so he politely called the little girl "sister" to make the little girl happy. So, today he officially auditioned for the crew, which has a different meaning than before when he was a pre-examination. In this real society where interpersonal relationships are productivity, there is no harm in talking about desserts.

Yang Tingyao, who was next to Zhang Shaoyu, immediately heard the voice of a girl coming from Zhang Shaoyu's phone:

"It's me, Zhang Shaoyu, if you don't call me, I'm going to call you." Hearing the sound, Zhang Xiaoli really regarded herself as an elder sister.

"Oh! I would have been waiting for your phone call if I had known this. I was about to shut down the phone and I had lost another ocean."

"Stingy guy, by the way, Zhang Shaoyu, didn't Director Wu ask you to audition today? The weather has changed and the crew's plan has also been adjusted. Now we are changing to film indoor dramas. Do you know that Ruijing Business Hotel? All of our team have moved to this hotel now."

"Rui Jing? Well, I know which street I am."

"Then come here immediately. Remember, it's best to arrive at Ruijing before nine o'clock. Director Wu has a strong sense of time. He hates others not being punctual the most."

"I understand. I'm only two streets away from Ruijing now, and I can reach Ruijing in at most twenty minutes. By the way, Sister Xiaoli, my girlfriend has to follow me to visit the crew today. I want to bring her together, so there should be nothing wrong with it, right?"

"Girlfriend? I said, Zhang Shaoyu, you have a girlfriend now. If you become popular one day in the future and become a big star, it will have an impact on your career!"

"Haha, I don't know if this is the year of the Monkey and Horse Month! Let's talk about it one day. Sister Xiaoli, which room are you in Ruijing?"

"You'll come to Room 868 on the eighth floor."

"Okay, meet me soon, I'm dead."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Shaoyu sighed and said, "Senior sister, you should be careful, otherwise we will really have to go a long way."

Yang Tingyao smiled sweetly, held him and said, "Let's go!"

Ruijing Business Hotel is located in the middle district of Chengdu, adjacent to the bustling commercial area and a restaurant street along Yangxi. It is not far from Shuangliu Airport and Chengdu Railway Station. The transportation is extremely convenient.

The hotel is surrounded by a wealth of attractions, including the famous Yongling Palace, Qingyang Palace, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Baihuatan, ancient Qintai, and ancient buildings.

The hotel has Ruijing Suite, business suite, business standard room, business single room, ordinary single room, 5 room types and guest suites. Each floor has some rooms with a balcony for guests to enjoy the beautiful night view of Rongcheng. The rooms are all over 45 square meters, and are equipped with satellite and CCTV and broadband network dedicated line access. The exquisitely used full furniture and a bright and clean bathroom create a pleasant and leisurely commercial and residential space for guests from all directions.

It is worth mentioning that the hotel's Yongyule Chinese Restaurant is extremely large in scale and magnificently decorated. It is a famous high-end consumer restaurant in Chengdu. The restaurant specializes in Hong Kong's full chef team, which can provide diners with very professional Hong Kong's most popular Guangdong Cantonese cuisine, swallows, abalone, wings and other boutique dishes. Various flavors lead the trend of fashionable Guangdong banquets.

The hotel has various conference halls and the reception halls are spacious and practical, elegant and luxurious. They can also provide projection screens, projectors, podiums, rear projection TVs and various microphones.

In addition, the business center, lobby bar, cigar bar, Chinese tea room, chess and card room, karaoke private room, beauty salon and sauna are also available.

Although Zhang Shaoyu had never been to Ruijing, a four-star hotel, he had never eaten pork or seen pig runs. Now, in front of these star hotels that emphasize service, the waiter is as obedient as his grandson in front of the customers who come to the hotel.

After entering the hotel, he didn't even look at the hotel staff such as the doorman, lobby waiter, and then looked around inside and headed towards the elevator on the south side of the lobby.

When he arrived at the door of Room 868 on the eighth floor, Zhang Shaoyu took out his cell phone and looked at the time: 8:55.

Although there was a sign without disturbance hanging on the door, Zhang Shaoyu rang the doorbell after hesitating for a while. He thought that Zhang Xiaoli had no reason to lie to him.

Soon, the door opened, revealing Zhang Xiaoli's baby face.

She smiled and said, "It's coming very quickly. Come in and sit for a while. Director Wu and his team went to the restaurant for breakfast and hadn't come yet."

Zhang Shaoyu nodded to her, took Yang Tingyao's hand and walked into the room, and said as he walked: "This is my girlfriend, her surname is Yang Tingyao. Senior sister, Sister Xiaoli is the director of the crew."

"I am not the director, don't listen to this guy talking nonsense. Hello, Miss Yang, my name is Zhang Xiaoli." Zhang Xiaoli generously reached out to Yang Tingyao to say hello.

Yang Tingyao smiled politely and shook hands with Zhang Xiaoli, nodded and said, "Hello, Miss Zhang, it's a great honor to know you."

At this time, Yang Tingyao's thoughts were the same as when Zhang Shaoyu first met Zhang Xiaoli, muttering: "Zhang Xiaoli? Zhang Li? What's the relationship between them? Are they sisters? It's not such a coincidence. You can get involved with Zhang Li everywhere."

After entering the room, Zhang Shaoyu almost doubted whether he had walked the wrong door, because it was not like a suite in a four-star hotel, it was a bit like a utility room.

Although the room is large, there are too many props and other things placed inside, and it looks a bit messy.

Zhang Shaoyu was really a bit over the crowd. He first found a place for Yang Tingyao to sit down first, and then asked Zhang Xiaoli: "Sister Xiaoli, it seems that the crew checked in Ruijing yesterday! I remember that the hotel you are staying at is not this..."

Zhang Xiaoli replied: "Don't you know that the weather forecast is very accurate now! For example, when we were shooting outdoor scenes, we had to master the weather changes within three days. The environment of Ruijing Hotel is very consistent with the overall environment where there is a scene in the script. So Director Wu asked all of us to move here from the Chengdu Hotel after we finished work yesterday afternoon."

"Liu Feng is also in Ruijing?" Zhang Shaoyu asked.

"He is a popular brand, so how could he live with the crew members?" Zhang Xiaoli obviously had no good feelings for Liu Feng and said angrily: "After finishing work yesterday, he flew to Changsha with Ling Xinru. Maybe when he can come here today. It's really boring to work with such a person."

"Damn, he knew there was a chance today, but he took a plane to Changsha last night? This is not a fucking mess, how much money is there!" Zhang Shaoyu said with his eyes wide open.

"He is showing his affection to Ling Xinru!" Zhang Xiaoli said with a lip voice: "There hasn't been any plot in Ling Xinru these days. Her good friend Liu Deye held a concert in Changsha, so she made a special trip to support her. Liu Feng is now a popular popular star. He said he wanted to go over, so Ling Xinru was of course happy."

"Haven Liu Tianwang is here in the mainland for a solo concert again?" Zhang Shaoyu asked with great interest.

"Well, I heard that Liu Tianwang's personal concert was specially designed to promote the rematch of the Xiaoqiang Cup Online Original Singer Competition to be held in Changsha at the request of Emperor Entertainment Company." Zhang Xiaoli nodded and said.

"Sister Xiaoli, is this news reliable?" Zhang Shaoyu asked intently.

You should know that if what Zhang Xiaoli said is true, it means that in the selection match of Xiaoqiang Cup 50 to the top 32, Liu Tianwang is very likely to appear in the competition as a special guest or judge. This is a very hype gimmick in enhancing the influence of Xiaoqiang Cup in Southeast Asia. More importantly, Zhang Shaoyu may have the chance to shake hands with his idol again for the second time.

"Of course it's reliable, this was what Ling Xinru told me in person!" Zhang Xiaoli replied very affirmatively.

"Senior sister, I'm going to Changsha!" Zhang Shaoyu suddenly turned his head, looked at Yang Tingyao with bright eyes, and said firmly.

Before Yang Tingyao could answer, Zhang Xiaoli said with a smile: "You can't even go, because after filming the hotel scene, the crew has to turn to Changsha to shoot the outdoor scene. You know, I am very confident that you have successfully passed the audition today. Zhang Shaoyu, we will soon be comrades fighting in the same trench."

Yang Tingyao smiled and took Zhang Xiaoli's words and said, "No matter where you go, I will support you!"

Everything she did to Zhang Shaoyu was unconditional support. Now Zhang Shaoyu wanted to leave Chengdu to develop his career. Zhang Li's attempt to come to Chengdu to work and get close to Zhang Shaoyu to relive her old dreams naturally failed. Zhao Jing, a crazy girl, no longer had the opportunity to pester Zhang Shaoyu all day long. In this way, the threat of the two love rivals was greatly weakened invisibly. Therefore, Yang Tingyao certainly had no reason to object to Zhang Shaoyu's decision.

Zhang Shaoyu nodded silently and looked at Yang Tingyao without saying anything, but the gratitude in his eyes was enough to make Yang Tingyao understand his mood at this moment.

Zhang Xiaoli looked at the couple who were "flirting around" and looked at the left, right, and smiled and said, "Zhang Shaoyu, it seems that you have a very good girlfriend!"

Zhang Shaoyu smiled faintly and answered with a smile.

Yang Tingyao smiled without saying a word.

At this time, the doorbell of "Dingdong Dingdong" rang.

"It should be Director Wu and the others who are back, I'll go open the door." Zhang Xiaoli greeted Zhang Shaoyu, then trotted towards the door.

"Director Wu, Zhang Shaoyu has been here for a long time." With the sound of opening the door, Zhang Xiaoli said to Director Wu Ji, who was bearded, wearing a director's hat and a brown leather jacket.

Wu Ji walked in and asked casually: "Who is Zhang Shaoyu? What is he doing here?"

"Director Wu, you are so kind of noble people who forget things. Didn't you arrange for Zhang Shaoyu to audition today?" Zhang Xiaoli explained.

Just as Zhang Xiaoli finished her words, Wu Ji had already seen Zhang Shaoyu standing in the room.

Zhang Shaoyu is not as charming as an ordinary actor who sees a famous director who nods and bows. He nods with a humble and arrogant look and says lightly: "Hello, Director Wu."
