Chapter 1377: Chapter 1252: Establishing Shots

The happy day only lasted one night.

Early the next morning, the director, filled with anticipation for breakfast, climbed out of the hard dorm bed and stood in the yard to see an unfamiliar dark-skinned young man grinning at him with big white teeth:

“You’re from the crew, right? Today’s breakfast and lunch are at the cafeteria. Help yourselves.”

“Is the cafeteria food the same as the meals at Song Tan’s Home?” he asked, clinging to a glimmer of hope.

The other person chuckled, “Of course not.”

The two cameramen behind him asked, “If breakfast and lunch are in the cafeteria, can we still have dinner at the house?”

The other person was stunned, then asked curiously, “You can’t shoot anything around here, won’t you leave after lunch?”

Alright, alright! Is this how you’re rushing us? We’ll leave! Won’t even eat lunch, we’ll just go!

He waved his arm, “Let’s go, have breakfast, and then go up the mountain — I want to see what peach blossoms that cost 44 bucks each look like!”

He took another look at his watch, “How is it only six o’clock?”

Meanwhile, the dark-skinned young man across from him maintained the same smile, “There’s no other entertainment in the countryside. Everyone goes to bed early, waking up at 5 in the morning is not considered early.”

“We start work here at 7, and come May or June, we’ll probably start work at 5 in the morning.”

“Didn’t you sleep well last night?”

Thinking of last night, the director fell silent again.

Because not only did they sleep well, but they felt particularly satisfied. They quickly fell into a deep sleep and only woke up when the cafeteria started getting noisy in the morning.

This… what can be said?

Six o’clock is six o’clock, the morning air is good after all.

Harboring resentment towards the food and work, the director ultimately immersed into the cafeteria.

With the recent large work volume and many hands working, early in the morning everyone was already at the cafeteria, and now with the director and his two comrades stepping in, they were not noticeable at all.

Looking at the breakfast — rice, steamed buns, meat, vegetable soup, and pancakes — this was solid indeed!

The three hesitated while choosing some food, found an empty table, and sat down, overhearing everyone engaged in lively conversations with a regional accent that was not too difficult to understand —

“I saw the forecast saying there’ll be heavy rain in a couple of days, how are your melon seedlings coming along, can they be planted in time?”

“Already planted early, today we go to harvest the Milk Vetch…”

“Are the persimmon trees on Shitou Slope alive? There’s been no movement even after grafting for a while.”

“I think they’re alive, the newly planted persimmon trees have started budding. That college student said not to over-fertilize, otherwise, the grafted branches will grow too large and the cuts won’t hold…”

“Heavy rain is good! Just in time for not having to water the fields, the lotus roots by the river can be planted in these two days…”

“Be quick, after finishing here, we can go till our family’s land again. Song Sancheng said, after finishing work, wages will be settled and the vegetable seedlings registered last year will be distributed…”

“They’re all fast-growing, said to plant now, by the end of next month they’ll arrange for a purchase…”

“I’ll ask the college student if we can reserve seeds ourselves for growing more, the taste is really good, growing some for ourselves to eat would be so nice…”

“Secretary Xiaozu said there will be a meeting tonight, planning something about standardized planting…”

Everyone chatted enthusiastically, either about farming or selling vegetables, the director listened intently for a long time without catching anything substantial.

When he came back to his senses, he found the two cameramen beside him were already getting second servings!

Seeing him looking over, they happily shared, “This food is so delicious! A hundred times better than our crew’s packed lunches!”

After eating till their bellies were round, the three finally strolled along the road to digest, occasionally looking around, attempting to find idyllic rural scenery.

But along the way, they only saw high fences, with brambles and vines climbing around them, and inside the fences were patches of vegetable fields… It was rural enough, but not picturesque.

Until they climbed a gentle slope.

This area was also divided by high fences, with vines and small thorns growing at the edges.

But inside, there were groves of tall fruit trees.

Being among the first planted, these were now full of blooms, lush and green, stretching like colorful dreams down to the mountain base.

And in the distant mountain ranges, layers of clouds and mist swirled, weaving through the delicate dew on leaves. The morning breeze, cool and fragrant with flowers, seemed to freeze everyone in place, as if even a small sound was too loud.

The director and cameramen stood there, engrossed, not daring to make a sound for a long time.

Until gradually, the noise of villagers carrying various tools, chatting amongst themselves, approached; a young man ahead stood straight and opened the fence, waiting for everyone to enter one by one…

At that moment, the dreamlike scene in the mountain mist seemed to be finally broken, the deep and shallow purples and greens intertwined at the foot of the mountain, making the director’s heart bleed—

Such beautiful scenery, and can’t be filmed for the play, it’s really a shame!

He then ordered, “Quickly bring the equipment over, I’ll call Song Tan — if I can’t film the scenes, at least I can shoot the empty shots, right?!”

This morning light, this mountain mist, this endless spring color!

If he didn’t capture this empty shot well, he’d have to slap himself awake in the middle of the night!

Meanwhile, far away in the Imperial City, Lun Jing was sighing while packing things from the fridge into her suitcase:

“Since when did Tantan send so many things over?”

“Oh, there’s meat too? Did they pack meat for us when we left?”

“How come there’s tea too? Just leave the tea, I have some there too, you can share it with your friends.”

“Once you get there, quickly oversee the bed and breakfast… Sigh, I thought I could oversee it for you first!”

She nagged, particularly weary — anyone who has resigned for one or two months without departing would feel this way.

No choice, although she hasn’t done formal work for a while, she’s been handling finance work at hand for more than ten years. Now that she wants to quit, the other side has just recruited someone, and it takes a while to hand over, so the departure time keeps getting delayed…

Now, well, her son has packed and is ready to leave, but she’s still here working, also clearing out Lun Chuan’s refrigerator stocks meanwhile.

Lun Chuan nodded, “All planned out. Today and tomorrow I’ll say goodbye to friends and liaise with the editor for the next book. Tomorrow night or the day after, I’ll be ready to set off.” Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs NovєlFіre.net

Lun Jing nodded, then looked around the room:

“No one’s staying here, just let your housekeeper clean it periodically. Take your car to Yunqiao Village, I won’t drive mine, I’ll take the high-speed train later instead.”

She then looked around the empty house, her voice also carried a trace of reluctance:

“I always thought you planted too many flowers before, now that they’re all moved, the house looks too empty.”
