Chapter 118: Playing Big
When Chen Yimin arrived at the airport, there were already many cars parked outside the exit.
Because he received Wu Jing's notice at the last minute, Chen Yimin had to park his car in the parking lot.
Looking at the time, Mary should be landing soon, so Chen Yimin hurried to the exit with a cup of coffee.
When I walked to the exit, I saw many fans holding Mary's support signs.
There were also some reporters holding cameras ready to take pictures at any time.
Chen Yimin wore a mask and a hat when he went out because he was afraid that netizens would recognize him.
Firstly, he was here to pick up Mary, and it would not be good to be too ostentatious. Secondly, he was afraid that others would recognize them and post a photo of the two of them on Weibo, thus spreading rumors.
He is now frightened by netizens' ability to make up stories.
Chen Yimin stood aside and looked at the enthusiasm of the fans. He couldn't help but sigh that Mary was really popular.
After about 10 minutes, some people came out of the exit one after another.
Mary came out only after most people had left.
The fans who had been waiting outside screamed when they saw their favorite stars come out.
Some fans even surrounded her, holding out notebooks and asking for Mary's autograph.
Chen Yimin saw so many people surrounding him and was pushed to the back by the crowd.
Looking at the crowd in front of him, he planned to wait for Mary to walk out of the circle of fans before going up to pick her up.
Mary, who had just got off the plane, had just come from the United States in the morning and had not yet adjusted to the jet lag.
Seeing so many fans surrounding me, I felt very impatient.
But he still smiled as he took notebooks from several fans and signed autographs for them.
Seeing that there was a camera filming her nearby, Mary posed for photos so that fans and the media could take them.
One or two fans are fine.
Looking at the huge crowd of people in front of her, Mary could hardly maintain the smile on her face.
She called her assistant and whispered.
"Didn't they say someone would come to pick us up at the airport today? Where is the person picking us up? Also, ask the security to clear out these fans. There are too many of them. There's no way for them to get out."
The assistant nodded, first asked the bodyguard to protect Mary, then picked up the phone to send a message to Wu Jing.
After a few minutes, the assistant came to Mary again and said.
"The director just said that the person who is meeting you is already waiting for you at the airport, but he doesn't know exactly where he is. He is busy today and can't come, so please stay here for a while."
Mary was very unhappy when she heard what the assistant said.
I came all the way from the United States, and this is the treatment I received.
If their crew hadn't paid her a lot of money, she wouldn't have bothered to make a war movie.
Moreover, there are so many American stars now that a newly famous star like me has no way of getting good endorsements in the United States.
This time, I have this opportunity.
Otherwise she wouldn't come here to suffer.
Chen Yimin was observing secretly from the side.
Seeing Mary coming towards him, he hurried over to her.
"Hello, I'm the one Wu Jing sent to pick you up. Because I received a last-minute notice, I have to park my car outside. Please move to the parking lot outside."
After saying that, Chen Yimin handed the coffee in his hand to Mary.
"You must be tired after sitting on the plane for such a long time. This cup of coffee can refresh your mind."
When Mary saw the coffee handed over by Chen Yimin, she glanced at it with disdain and said.
"You are a star, and I am a star. Don't you know how to come earlier when you receive a last-minute notice? You are dawdling here, and you didn't come quickly when you saw me coming out. I really don't know why Wu Jing would send such a stupid person like you."
When Chen Yimin heard what Mary said, he felt unhappy.
But thinking that I was a little late after all, I endured it. For the sake of making a good movie, this little bit of grievance was nothing.
He held up the coffee and said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I'm late. This cup of coffee is my apology to you. Please accept it."
As he spoke, he moved his hand holding the coffee closer to Mary.
"I won't drink such low-quality coffee. I'm afraid I'll get sick if I drink this instant coffee. You should take me to the car first. There are too many people here."
As he said that, he raised his leg and walked outside.
The assistant and bodyguard beside him didn't even look at Chen Yimin, and walked out with Mary.
Chen Yimin looked at the coffee in his hand.
He apologized on his own initiative, yet he still acted in a haughty manner.
His impression of Mary was much worse.
But he still followed her outside, but when he passed by the trash can, he threw the coffee directly into it.
Because he was in a hurry today, Chen Yimin just picked up a key and went out.
After all, he thought that he was here to pick someone up today, and it wouldn't make much difference whether it was a luxury car or an ordinary car, so he didn't change cars.
But Mary didn't think so.
He looked at Chen Yimin's BMW, stopped, and stood there saying.
"This is how your crew treated me. I am a big star after all, and you gave me a BMW worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Do you take me seriously?"
After hearing her words, Chen Yimin could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
"It is true that I was late today , and I apologized to you, but it's fine if you don't accept my apology, but now you are pointing fingers at my car. You have to remember that filming here is not the same as filming in the United States. There should be at least respect between people."
Then take out the car key and unlock it.
"This is the only bus we have today. If you want to get on it, you can get on. If you don't want to get on this bus, you can take it by yourself. I'm too lazy to serve you. I don't know where all the comments about you being gentle, considerate and caring on the Internet came from."
After saying that, he sat directly in the driver's seat without paying attention to Mary's response.
The assistant at the side heard what Chen Yimin said and looked at Mary with an embarrassed expression.
"Why don't we get in the car first? After all, he was sent by the director and the contract has been signed. If he says he doesn't want to act now, he will have to pay a large sum of liquidated damages, and the original money will also be returned."
As he said this, he pulled Mary towards the car.
Mary naturally understood what the assistant said, but she was still very unhappy.
"You drive a junky BMW and yet you dare to talk to me like that. Don't let me run into you on the set. When I run into you on set, I'll show you how I'll deal with you." He muttered to himself.
Then he got in the car reluctantly.
Chen Yimin saw Mary get in the car and started the car without saying a word.
Although having good acting skills and being famous is one thing, in his heart, the most important thing for an actor is his character.
It seems that I should have a good talk with Wu Jing about this matter when I go to the crew.
