Volume 7 I've Been Here Chapter 0924 Water Crisis
After flirting with each other for a while, Nan Yi and Scarlett picked some vegetables from the vegetable garden and returned to the pile of rice husks. They saw San Xiao already eating sweet potatoes. Nan Yi picked one out from the pile of rice husks, let it dry for a while, then broke it into two halves, one half for you and the other half for me.
Holding the sweet potato in his mouth, Nan Yi walked to one side and pressed a switch. A roll of movie screen slowly unfolded. He walked to the other side, turned on a lamp overhead, and lifted the rain cloth to reveal the movie projector underneath.
After fiddling with it a few times, the indicator light on the projector came on. Nan Yi opened a pure copper 8mm film copy box, took out a copy from it and installed it on the projector. With a rustling sound, MGM's classic lion title appeared on the movie screen in black and white.
Nan Yi walked back to Scarlett, who was looking at the screen, and said to him, "Adam, you've watched it several times. Do you like Katharine Hepburn's performance so much?"
"I have answered your question several times. Not only her, but every actor performed very well. The scenery was also good, and it basically restored the appearance of that era. But it's normal. Pearl Buck grew up in southern China, and she wrote about what she saw and heard."
"Dad, we just watched this movie this afternoon, let's watch another one." Nan Ruoyin interrupted.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Go change it yourself."
Upon hearing this, Nan Ruoyin walked to the projector, took out the copy of "Dragon Seed" and replaced it with "Dragon Inn" by King Hu. The movie screen instantly changed from gray to a mixture of yellow, red and blue.
"Dragon Inn" is much more popular than "Dragon Seed". Security guards who are not on duty also gather in front of the screen, standing or sitting on the ground, enjoying the film, which they may understand or not.
Nan Youqiong rode his all-terrain vehicle, left and came back, bringing back three ice buckets of beer, and the security guards' leisure time turned into happy time.
Nan Yi withdrew his gaze from Nan Youqiong and merged into the landscape painting on the screen.
"Adam, this is the best Chinese-language film I have ever seen." Halfway through the film, Scarlett said with emotion: "The composition is so beautiful, every frame can be regarded as a painting, the director applied the techniques of landscape painting to the film.
Landscape painting focuses on the five techniques of outlining, texture drawing, rubbing, dyeing and dotting. In the film, these five techniques become the camera, actors, art, light and shadow, and props. This is the director’s spatial aesthetics and spatial narrative.”
"Uh-huh."
Scarlett not only understood landscape paintings, she could also paint them. Her grandmother Patricia had taught her when she was a child. In comparison , Nan Yi could only feel a little bit of the artistic conception and just thought it was beautiful.
"The director changed the hook to a long shot, giving a bird's-eye view or depth of field shot to show the full picture." Nan Ruoyin interrupted.
Fan Hongdou: "The director turned the texture into camera movement, using different changes in scene, light and shadow, and different camera angles to make the concrete images or details of trees, rocks, rivers, mountains, and inns appear on the screen."
Nan Youqiong: "Rubbing is a supplement to the texture..."
"Shut up!" The first three were fine, but Nan Youqiong's adding fuel to the fire made Nan Yi a little angry and embarrassed, "You want to step on your father too?"
“Hehehe.”
Nan Youqiong laughed strangely.
"Dad, you should go to the senior citizen university and sign up for a calligraphy and painting class, otherwise you won't have anything in common with us."
Nan Ruoyin made a finishing move.
"Old people's university, I also went to TV university."
Nan Yi muttered to himself, grabbed a piece of steak wrapped in tin foil, tore open the foil and stuffed it into his mouth.
At this moment, he recalled the jokes he had made before. Now he had the idea of turning those jokes into reality - the new work of the famous painter Nan Yi was sold at a sky-high price of 180 million US dollars at Christie's auction house.
When night fell, Nan Yi and Scarlett were busy in the tent. On Changbai Mountain, the old boss Park Dashan handed a stack of money to Sun Mingzhu, a North Korean cadre opposite. The money was the salary for the North Korean ginseng farmers. Next to the Changbai Mountain ginseng garden, within the territory of North Korea, the reclamation group also has an Enqing ginseng garden.
When Park Dashan was young, he often went hunting and picking ginseng in the mountains. He often met hunters and ginseng pickers from North Korea. Among them, there was a man named Li Hongkui who was an expert in ginseng picking. At the beginning, Nan Yi planned to set up a semi-wild ginseng garden in North Korea for the sake of controlling the number. So the Reclamation Group took a two-pronged approach, taking the upper-class route one way and the civilian route the other.
Finally, the Enqing Ginseng Garden was established, less than fifty centimeters away from the Changbai Mountain Ginseng Garden, but the two ginseng gardens seemed to be separated by a chasm.
Sun Myung-soo took the money, counted some, and nodded happily. This time, Park Dashan did not give it according to the old rules, but added another two hundred on top of the previous five hundred.
Park Dashan then handed Sun Mingzhu a net bag, which contained various foods, mainly meat. Sun Mingzhu took the net bag, said "half a day", and walked away with the net bag.
It was not until Sun Myung-soo's back was out of sight that Park Dae-san called out to the busy North Korean ginseng farmers in the Eunjeong ginseng garden, "Lee Hong-gyu, let's have dinner."
When Li Hongkui heard Park Dashan's shout, he spoke to the other farmers, and they put down their farm tools, lined up in an informal manner, and began to sing songs.
"Oh, the whole world, envy us, envy us! If love is the happiness of life, we all live in infinite happiness. In the infinite love of the marshal, the happiness of the people is endless. Oh, the whole world, envy us, envy us! In the infinite love of the marshal, our people are always blessed."
"What song are they singing, old man?"
The person asking the questions was Zhang Yaoguang, the captain of the Xingfu Water Exploration Team. The team was conducting "water mine" exploration in Changbai Mountain and were temporarily eating at Shenyuan.
"'The whole world envies us.'" Park Dashan pointed at the North Korean ginseng farmers and said, "Captain Zhang, call your people over. We have to have a meal in the field today, so it's not convenient for them to come."
"Okay, I'll go call someone."
Zhang Yaoguang ran to call for help. Pu Dashan directed several women to move the low table and food to the open space in the ginseng garden. He walked to Li Hongkui, took out two packs of Changbaishan from his pocket and handed them to him.
Li Hongkui took it, opened both packs of cigarettes, and distributed them among the ginseng farmers. After a while, white smoke filled the air.
"Hongkui, is sister-in-law okay?"
Li Hongkui carefully looked around and confirmed that there was no danger before he lowered his voice and said to Park Dashan, "It's not good. Food is very tight. In the past half month, I can only eat 60% full every day."
Park Dashan frowned, "Is the situation wrong?"
"Not quite right." Li Hongkui frowned.
"Next time I'll bring you some food and you can take it back quietly."
"Dashan, I don't want good food. Please help me get some Chlorella and Azolla. I will secretly grow them in the mountains."
When Pu Dashan heard what Li Hongkui said, his brows furrowed even more. Li Hongkui didn't dare to ask for good food because he was afraid of being robbed, or even being robbed after being accused. It seemed that the situation on the other side of the mountain was not right. He had to tell the girl from the Yu family and call the group to ask whether the ginseng should be harvested early.
"I'll bring it to you next time. Let's eat first. We also have wine today."
Park Dashan hugged Li Hongkui and came to the low table. The ginseng farmers and the exploration team members on both sides gathered together to eat. The two sides were clearly divided. The discipline of the North Korean Shennong was engraved in their bones. Before eating, they first thanked the marshal and motivated themselves to earn more foreign exchange for the marshal. The other side had no such things. They ate directly, but they were all holding back the urge to communicate with each other, which was really uncomfortable.
The dinner party is held every two months, but every time Park Dashan would repeatedly warn the guests not to communicate with each other as it could easily bring disaster to them. This time, with outsiders like the exploration team, Park Dashan's instructions were particularly strict, for fear that these young people who didn't know the ins and outs would do something bad.
Zhang Yaoguang looked at the person sitting opposite him, who was eating very quickly, but not in a voracious way, and who was eating very "cleanly", without spilling any food or soup. When a spoonful of rice went into his mouth, he could clearly see the happiness at the corners of his mouth.
He felt this kind of happiness was both familiar and unfamiliar to him, both close at hand and yet so far away.
The next day.
Nan Yi went to Fresh Water Group (FW) in the morning.
Tamsui Group is Nan's layout in the field of water resources, which includes Pingtou Company, Fahai Company, Lushui Company, Tamsui Investment and Tamsui Research Institute.
The Flathead Company is located on the shore of Flathead Lake, the cleanest lake in the world in Montana. Flathead Lake is also called Flathead Lake, so the name of the Flathead Company and the Flathead brand mineral water came into being.
Fahai Company is located in Haifa, a port city in northern Israel. It is dedicated to seawater desalination business. As for the origin of the company's name, it naturally comes from Nan Yi's bad taste.
Green Water is located in Detroit and is engaged in wastewater treatment business.
Freshwater Investments is located in New York and is dedicated to investing in seawater desalination-related companies, water source acquisition and contracting, and purified water and mineral water companies.
The Freshwater Research Institute is headquartered in New York and has no branches yet. According to existing plans, it will have more branches. The institute is dedicated to the research of thermal desalination, reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, distillation and non-mainstream methods. Generally speaking, the Freshwater Research Institute will engage in research on all technologies that can obtain fresh water, even the recycling of sweat and urine will be carried out.
Nan Yi has always been worried about the future. He is worried that there will be a food crisis and a fresh water crisis in the world. In his opinion, perhaps within half a century, fresh water will become a very scarce and very precious resource. Perhaps hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions of people can only drink "fresh water" obtained by desalinating seawater. Naturally, fresh water will slowly become a high-level resource that has nothing to do with ordinary people.
Maybe decades later, when you are trying to pick up girls in a bar, you just need to order a glass of natural fresh water, and the girls will look at you differently and undress; maybe there will even be a "fresh water disease" caused by insufficient intake of natural fresh water.
Of course, there may also be a good side. After only one or two generations, humans will evolve rapidly and have an organ in their bodies that can purify seawater, or they may be able to drink seawater directly. Perhaps a hero will stand up and implement a "human optimization" strategy to optimize the "waste" and control the earth's population.
Regardless of whether Nan Yi's worry is ridiculous or not, the Nan family is not short of money anyway. Spending hundreds of millions or even billions to pay for his wild ideas will not be a big deal. What's more, he has found a group of like-minded and equally stupid people.
The offices of the Tamsui Group headquarters, Flathead Company, and Tamsui Research Institute are in the same place, right near the Peace Dove Training Base. When Nan Yi arrived at the Tamsui Group, he went directly to the office of President Yefim Zelman. Patty Lynn, President of Flathead Company, was also there.
After a brief greeting, we got straight to the point.
Patti Lynn: "Boss, our biggest competitor in the United States is Aquafina from PepsiCo. Their water source is just ordinary tap water, but they use a snowy mountain pattern on the outer packaging, which is obviously misleading to consumers. Should we target Aquafina based on this problem?"
Nan Yi nodded, "We can do something about it, but not now. Let's consider this issue after our production plant and channels are built."
Patti Lynn: "OK, our future strong competitors in the world include Evian and Chateldon in France, Denon in the UK, and Kanglongshui, which is also headquartered in France. Apart from these four, other brands will not pose much threat to us."
Nan Yi waved his hand and said, " Exclude Chateldon. It is a luxury brand among water brands. Pingtou Company is going for the mid-to-high-end route, and there will be no direct competition between them and Chateldon. In addition, Kanglong Water is not our enemy. It is our own brand."
"BOSS, Kanglong Water's parent company SGF is not a company that specializes in water. Can you consider transferring Kanglong Water to Pingtou Company?" Patty Lynn said excitedly.
Nan Yi smiled faintly, "I have no objection. The person in charge of Kanglong Water is called Emma. You can negotiate with her yourself to see if she is willing to give up Kanglong Water."
"OK, I'll contact her."
Nan Yi was secretly happy in his heart. Kanglong Water was SGF's flagship product, which boosted the related sales of many products. If Patty Lynn really dared to go to him, a scolding would be the least of her problems. She might even get a beating.
"Petit, I'd like to give you some marketing strategy advice. Find a way to get Flathead Water into the White House. I hope that when the president attends a press conference, he will have Flathead Water by his side. Once this step is successful, starting with New York, I hope that Flathead Water can be seen in every state capital. The next step is that singers, NBA stars, Super Bowl stars, and all the popular figures among them will also drink Flathead Water."
Patty Lynn thought for a moment and said, "Boss, this plan requires a high budget."
Nan Yi: "Give me and Yefim a report. As long as the numbers are not too shocking, I will approve it."
"If it's hundreds of millions of dollars?"
Nan Yi spread his hands and said, "I hope to implant a concept in every consumer's mind - flat water is equivalent to mineral water. As long as you include a feasible plan on how to make back the money spent in the report, don't worry, I will still approve hundreds of millions of dollars."
Patty Lynn relaxed and nodded.
Then, the three of them discussed some details about Pingtou Water. During the discussion, Nan Yi also suggested going to Viti Levu in Fiji to find the source of mineral water.
Nan Yi attaches great importance to Pingtou Company, because in the entire Tamsui Group, it is the only one that can quickly generate profits. The other subsidiaries will only have outflows and no inflows within a few years. If he wants Tamsui Group to achieve self-sustaining growth, he can only rely on Pingtou Company.
Nan Yi spent the entire morning in discussions. He had lunch with Yefim Zelman and Patty Lynn at noon. In the afternoon, Nan Yi went to the Freshwater Research Institute and attended a report meeting in the conference room. When he arrived, Deputy Director Christopher was explaining the analysis report on global water resources.
“Since the early 1970s, the United Nations and other international water resource organizations have proposed the concept of ‘water crisis’, and the main sources of the crisis are the scarcity of available water and water pollution.
The Earth's freshwater resources are limited and mainly found in aquifers, surface currents, and the atmosphere. Seawater is sometimes mistakenly considered usable water, but due to the enormous amount of energy required to convert saltwater into drinking water, only a tiny fraction of the world's freshwater comes from desalination.
Many phenomena indicate the existence of a water crisis: about one billion people do not have access to safe drinking water; lack of groundwater leads to reduced crops; overuse and pollution of water resources harm biodiversity; and regional conflicts over scarce water resources sometimes lead to war.
Water-related diseases and unsafe drinking water for domestic use are a major cause of death worldwide, and water-related diseases are the largest cause of death among children.
At any given time, half of the patients in the world's hospital beds are suffering from water-related diseases. According to the World Bank, 88% of diseases are caused by drinking unclean water.
The world's population has exploded in the 20th century, leading to a growing water crisis. Droughts raise concerns about the balance of safe water supplies, but the main cause of the threat of drought is human behavior that is not carefully considered.
The United Nations points out that about 2.6 billion people do not have enough water for sanitation purposes. Due to the lack of water for sewage treatment, the water crisis causes drinking water to mix with untreated sewage, which is the main adverse effect of insufficient drinking water supply, causing people who drink contaminated water to become sick and die in large numbers.
The health of children in developing countries is of particular concern, with approximately 3,900 children dying from diarrhea every day.
Although these deaths are generally considered to be avoidable, the reality makes the problem more difficult because the earth cannot provide additional water. Technology can solve some of the problems, but the high cost has caused many countries to give up and look for other solutions.
If developing countries have more wealth, the problem can be alleviated somewhat, but sustainable policies still need to be found to balance the population and water use in each region. In any case, to solve the water crisis, we must first recognize that water resources are limited.
The survival of vegetation and wildlife is completely dependent on adequate freshwater resources, most notably in marshes and riparian areas, but forests and other terrestrial ecosystems also experience reduced productivity due to water shortages.
As the number of humans continues to increase, many wetlands are used for livestock and housing. As humans use up some of the water in the upper reaches of the river, the production capacity of other areas has also decreased.
In seven states , more than 80 percent of historic wetlands were filled in during the 1980s, while Congress pretended that wetland area had not decreased.
The area of wetlands in Europe has also been reduced on a large scale, threatening biodiversity. Many wetlands in Scotland have been changed and developed due to population expansion. For example, more than half of the wetlands in Aberdeenshire have disappeared, and many algae species have also disappeared.
In the central highlands of Madagascar, human land use activities have put all vegetation at risk of complete disappearance since 1970, and slash-and-burn agriculture has reduced the country's biomass by 10%.
Many areas have been reduced to barren wastelands in order to provide food and shelter for the poor and overpopulated indigenous people, but stream valley erosion has also caused silt to accumulate, making large amounts of water unusable and destroying the ecosystems of several westward-flowing rivers, driving some fish species to extinction and reducing coral reefs on the Indian Ocean floor.
There are about 260 different river systems in the world, and conflicts arise from time to time due to cross-border conflicts. The Helsinki Rules help to resolve water rights between countries, but some disputes are fierce or related to basic survival and have triggered wars. In many cases, water disputes are just one of the reasons for increasing tensions.
The Tigris-Euphrates river system is an example of a conflict between riparian states, with Iran, Iraq and Syria each claiming rights to the river, but the combined demands of the three countries exceed the river's water supply.
In 1974, Iraq sent troops to the Syrian border and threatened to destroy the al-Thawra Dam on the Euphrates River in Syria.
Last year, Hungary and Czechoslovakia went to the International Court of Justice over the allocation of Danube River water and dam construction, which is a rare example of a dispute being resolved with reason and law.
Other examples, such as the disputes between North and South Korea, Israel and Palestine, and Egypt and Ethiopia over the Nile River, all demonstrate that negotiation is often a difficult solution.
With two-thirds of the world’s population projected to lack access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation services by 2025, building sewage treatment plants and reducing groundwater use are not the solution.
Wastewater treatment plants require a lot of money, and it is difficult for additional water sources to keep up with the surging population. Even if a sewage treatment plant can be successfully built, the huge operating costs and the skills required by the staff are also factors to consider.
Reducing the use of groundwater is politically unpopular and seriously affects the livelihoods of farmers. If implemented, it will lead to reduced crop yields and fail to provide enough food for the people.
From a practical perspective, developing countries can try to use simple sewage treatment or septic tank facilities, and analyze and improve the design of sewage facilities to reduce the impact on drinking water and ecosystems.
Developed countries can share technologies such as cost-effective sewage treatment and hydrological models; on a personal level, people in developed countries should reflect on themselves, reduce water waste, and cherish precious fresh water resources.
All countries can increase the protection of ecosystems, especially wetlands and riparian areas. These measures will not only preserve biota, but also support the natural water cycle and make water bodies more suitable for human use.”
Christopher was originally in charge of the institute's academic affairs, and his report seemed a bit empty, so Nan Yi did not get much useful information from it.
After Christopher finished his speech, Director Walgren came to the front and began to say something more practical and substantive.
"Since the founding of the country, water shortage has always been one of the problems that has tested the wisdom of the Israeli nation. The Negev Desert in the south suffers from drought and water shortage all year round, while the Sea of Galilee in the north is the only freshwater lake in Israel and its largest and most important source of drinking water and reservoir.
In order to solve the water problem in the southern region, Israel put into operation the North-to-South Water Diversion Project in 1964, using a 300-kilometer-long water pipeline to transport the relatively abundant water resources in the north to the drought-scarce south.
At the same time, Israel is committed to improving the efficiency of water resource utilization and has formed an intelligent water management system represented by drip irrigation technology. The utilization rate of recycled water is as high as 75%, ranking first in the world.
However, no matter how efficient the water resource utilization is, it cannot change the fact that the natural fresh water supply is insufficient. Especially with Israel's economic development and population growth, the gap between fresh water supply and demand is getting bigger and bigger.
Currently, there are signs of long-term drought in the entire Palestinian region. Israel's excessive extraction of freshwater resources has caused the water level of the Lake of Galilee to frequently fall below the safety red line, posing a direct threat to Israel's water security.
The Israeli Water Resources Committee believes that the only fundamental way to solve the water resource problem is to desalinate seawater. To this end, the Israeli government is planning a large-scale desalination plan to ease the contradiction between fresh water supply and demand.
According to the information we have obtained, Israel expects that by 2015, desalinated water will account for 22.5% of Israel's fresh water demand and 62.5% of domestic water;
By 2025, desalinated water will account for 28.5% of fresh water demand and 70% of domestic water;
By 2050, desalinated water will account for 41% of the country's freshwater demand and 100% of domestic water. If there is excess desalinated water, it will be used to protect Israel's natural water resources...
China is a country with scarce water resources, especially in coastal areas. Taking water from the ocean, which accounts for 96.5% of the world's total water reserves, and vigorously developing seawater desalination and comprehensive utilization technologies are important measures to solve the shortage of water resources in coastal areas and promote economic development.
Similarly, once seawater desalination technology is applied to the treatment of brackish water and wastewater, it will also go a long way in solving water resource problems in central and western China.
As early as the 1950s, in order to solve the water crisis, the United States set up a special saltwater bureau to continuously promote the technological progress of water resources and desalination. Japan also established a water production promotion center to promote the development of seawater desalination.
So far, the global daily output of seawater desalination has reached nearly 15 million tons, solving the water supply problem for more than 50 million people. In addition, the total amount of seawater directly used as industrial cooling water in the world is about 300 billion cubic meters per year, replacing a large amount of precious freshwater resources.
China's seawater desalination research began with the electrodialysis technology research conducted by the Navy and the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1958. The national seawater desalination campaign launched from 1967 to 1969 also laid the foundation for seawater desalination technologies such as reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, and distillation.
Since the 1990s, as China's water shortage situation has become increasingly severe, seawater desalination will also enter a period of rapid development, and it is expected to be applied on a large scale in the near future...
Ten countries, including Cambodia, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Chad, Laos, Haiti, Pakistan, Syria, Egypt and Somalia, are already facing or will face the problem of extreme water shortage. In the near future, one-third of the world's population will face the serious problem of insufficient fresh water resources.
Although our Freshwater Research Institute is a privately funded research institute, the investor, Mr. Adam..." Walgren gestured to Nan Yi to everyone in the conference room.
Nan Yi stood up, showed himself to everyone, nodded, and then sat down.
“Mr. Adam does not need to gain benefits from the Freshwater Research Institute. What the Freshwater Research Institute needs to do is to find ways to alleviate the earth’s water crisis and study ways to obtain large amounts of fresh water. Ladies and gentlemen, the earth’s freshwater resources have already reached an orange alert. It’s time for us to do something.
We can get fresh water from the ocean, from sewage, from the clouds, and from the air. We can upgrade and transform mechanical dehumidification equipment and develop an air-to-water device. Using the same principle as the dehumidification equipment, the water vapor entering the air-to-water device is condensed in the refrigeration coil, filtered, sterilized with ultraviolet light, and mineralized, and then stored in food-grade water tanks for drinking.
We can also develop a cheap desiccant material that absorbs moisture from the air like a chemical sponge, achieving the goal of zero-energy collection of fresh water..."
Walgren proposed many technical ideas for obtaining fresh water. Whether it is water vapor condensation or desiccant, Nan Yi felt that they are very feasible. This is a phenomenon that can be seen in daily life. Magnifying and professionalizing it is indeed a good way to obtain fresh water.
However, it remains to be seen whether the fresh water obtained in this way is cleaner than desalinated seawater, whether it is suitable for direct drinking, or can only be used as domestic water.
Nan Yi was very interested in the research direction of biological purification proposed by Walgren at the end. If there was a kind of organism that could decompose the useless components in seawater or sewage, it would be a blessing for the earth and the Nan family.
Even if the bio-purification technology isn’t magical and can only break down a single component, such as salt, it’s still good news.
After the seminar, Nan Yi had a private chat with Walgren for a while. Nan Yi put forward some of his fantasy ideas and asked for a list of books. He wanted to supplement his knowledge about "water" in his free time.
Nan Yi left Tamshui Company and was on his way to the bookstore when Gong Xue called him and said that she and the crew of "Beijingers in New York" had encountered some trouble at Baron Hirsch Cemetery and asked him to go over and deal with it.
Nan Yi was a little nonchalant. He had already sent people to assist the crew throughout the process, so how could there be any trouble? He guessed that Gong Xue wanted to see him and deliberately found an excuse.
Arriving at Baron Hirsch Cemetery, Nan Yi got out of the car and took a look. The crew was filming in an orderly manner and there was no trouble at all.
Walking up to Gong Xue, Nan Yi said in a slightly blaming tone: "Next time you want to see me, just tell me directly, don't make excuses."
Gong Xue glanced at Nan Yi and said angrily, "It's true. Director Zheng wants to take aerial photos of the cemetery and needs to rent a helicopter."
"Huh? David can't handle it?" Nan Yi looked around, "Where is David?"
"I heard from Director Zheng that David's son was sick and left in the morning."
"Oh, have you booked a hotel?" Nan Yi nodded and glanced at the heroine Yan Xiaoping. When he was watching TV in his previous life, Nan Yi liked to watch her scenes very much.
"not yet."
"I'm going to talk to Xiaolong first, and then I'll go to the hotel with you."
"Um."
Nan Yi walked behind Zheng Xiaolong and stopped five meters away, thinking that he would say hello after the "cut" before leaving.
Zheng Xiaolong was looking at the camera seriously. Feng Kuzi, who didn't know what role he played in the crew, saw Nan Yi and smiled at him with a bit of flattery.
Nan Yi smiled back politely.
Three or four minutes later, Zheng Xiaolong finally shouted "cut". The actors and behind-the-scenes staff instantly relaxed. Feng Kuazi trotted to Zheng Xiaolong and pointed in the direction of Nan Yi.
"Nan Yi, you are also in New York. It's good that you are here. I want a helicopter."
