Chapter 119: Self-righteousness
Sitting in the car, Mary said to the assistant with an impatient look on her face.
"What kind of crew did you sign me with? They only gave me one car, and it was just a BMW. I used to be picked up by dozens of cars. It's really cheap. Don't agree to such . Such a poor crew will definitely not be able to shoot any good drama."
After saying this, he looked at Chen Yimin's expression in the rearview mirror.
She just wanted to piss him off because of what he had just said about her.
But after she looked for a long time, there was no reaction on Chen Yimin's face, not even a trace of anger.
The assistant nearby saw the awkward atmosphere in the car and had to speak up to ease it.
"Sister, I told the director, and he said he couldn't come because of something urgent. Otherwise, let's forget about it this time and talk to the director properly next time. After all, he came to pick you up temporarily. How can a driver know that your status is not comparable to those ordinary stars?"
From the beginning, the assistant thought that Chen Yimin was just a driver sent by the director under his instructions.
So naturally I wouldn't be very polite to him.
Chen Yimin, who was sitting in the driver's seat, snorted coldly when he heard the two people behind him speaking in unison.
"What do you mean by international celebrities are so great? I'm sorry to ask you to ride in my car. If you don't want to ride, get out now and take a taxi yourself."
After saying that, he actually parked the car on the side of the road and unlocked the door.
Mary looked at Chen Yimin's serious expression and felt very unwilling, but she knew that she was not like in her own country here, not to mention that she didn't even know where the location was.
The two of them just sat in the car and refused to get out.
Chen Yimin stopped the car and looked at the two people who had no intention of getting off, with a look of contempt on his face.
I thought these two people were so brave, but it turns out they were just talking.
"Since you have decided to take my car, then shut up and sit still. If you keep making trouble, I will throw you out." Chen Yimin said viciously.
After saying that, the car started moving again.
Although they wasted some time at the airport and on the road, it was morning after all and the traffic was not particularly congested, so they soon arrived at Wu Jing's film and television company.
After Chen Yimin parked the car in the underground parking lot, he opened the door and walked out alone.
The assistant sitting in the back of the car got out immediately, walked to the other side of the car, opened the door for Mary, and motioned for her to get out.
Seeing the assistant open the door for her, Mary not only did not get out of the car, but looked at Chen Yimin with a proud face and said.
"Assistant, please move aside. It's the driver's job to help me get off the car. He has to help me today. Otherwise, I won't get off the car today. Anyway, it's not my salary that will be deducted if I waste time."
As she spoke, she crossed her legs. She didn't believe that she couldn't deal with this driver.
When the assistant heard what Mary said, he stood aside awkwardly and looked at Chen Yimin.
Chen Yimin, who had already gotten off the car, felt speechless when he heard Mary's words.
He had seen some female celebrities who acted like big shots, but he had never seen one as capable as her.
Seeing Mary's shameless look, he had no choice but to speak.
"If you don't want to come down, just sit there. We have plenty of time to waste. But it's inevitable that some of your fans will pass by there, and it would be bad if they recognize you."
After saying that, he stood aside and ignored it.
He had taken off his mask when he got off the car just now. Many passers-by in the parking lot recognized him and took pictures next to him.
Hearing what Chen Yimin said, Mary looked at the assistant beside her.
The assistant looked outside from the side of the car and saw that there was indeed a group of people taking pictures of the car, and some even wanted to come forward to record a video at close range.
The assistant nodded to Mary and spoke in a low voice.
"Sister, why don't you come down? There are more and more people around. I'm afraid it will have a bad influence on you if you stay for too long."
Hearing the assistant's words, Mary got out of the car reluctantly.
After getting off the car, she saw that there were already about 10 fans surrounding her. Some fans recognized her and walked up to her screaming and wanted her autograph.
Mary changed her expression in an instant, smiling and signing autographs and taking photos with fans one by one.
Chen Yimin, who was standing by, couldn't help but sigh inwardly as he watched Mary's changes.
It turns out that women are fickle.
After taking photos with fans, the group took the elevator to the company.
Because Wu Jing had given instructions in advance, the company's front desk was already waiting enthusiastically at the door when they came in.
They were not very familiar with Mary, and most of them went there for Chen Yimin.
After all, there is no one in the country who doesn’t know him.
Chen Yimin looked at the staff at the door and nodded to them.
Under the leadership of the company manager, Chen Yimin and Mary and their group entered the meeting room.
Because the film has not started shooting yet, the actors need to have a general understanding of some requirements and be given the script.
Walking into the conference room, Mary sat down right in the middle.
The manager looked at Chen Yimin awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed, because everyone in the company knew that Chen Yimin was the investor of this movie, and logically speaking, he should sit in the middle seat.
Seeing the manager's eyes, he waved his hands to indicate that it didn't matter. After all, Mary was a very capable woman, and the sooner it was done, the sooner he would be free.
After everyone sat down, the manager briefly explained the time and location of the filming and the general requirements.
Because this film contains some battle scenes, we had to inform the actress in advance that there is a risk of injury at any time.
Moreover, Wu Jing strongly requested that all actors must perform the fighting scenes themselves.
Mary was a little unhappy when she heard what the manager said, and spoke to the assistant beside her in English.
"Please ask how long this drama will take to shoot, how many fighting scenes I have, and if I can cut some of them out."
The assistant translated Mary's words verbatim to Chen Yimin and the manager.
After understanding what she meant, the manager smiled embarrassedly and said.
"I'm sorry, there was a clause in the contract when we signed that all fighting scenes must be performed by the actors themselves. This is the minimum requirement of our crew. Moreover, the script was originally informed in advance, so there will be no deletions. If there are any changes at that time, the director will let you know."
Later, the assistant translated the manager's meaning to Mary.
Seeing that there was no room for turning back, Mary was very unhappy. She didn't want to shoot fight scenes, which were tiring and ugly.
Chen Yimin, who was standing by, looked at Mary with contempt.
Although he is not an actor, he knows that the minimum requirement for an actor is to be professional.
The woman in front of me is not only pretentious, but also lacks the most basic qualities of an actor.
