Chapter 792: Poaching Lotus Roots
The landlady originally just wanted to take a photo and stay in the store to attract customers.
But she didn’t expect that Liu Yifei would actually want to shoot in the store.
After hearing the news, she was overjoyed and directly stated that she had paid for today's dishes and would not let Li Yi pay for anything.
Li Yi didn't insist when he saw this, but before leaving, he asked the assistant director to keep the account and settle the expenses together after the filming was completed.
On the way back, Liu Yifei was in a good mood. She held Li Yi's arm and asked about the follow-up shooting plan, full of longing.
However, her good mood quickly deteriorated after she returned to the hotel and saw several reporters standing guard outside the hotel.
“Why did they come so fast?”
Liu Yifei looked at the figures outside the window, feeling very depressed.
They have traveled thousands of kilometers and still cannot escape these reporters.
“They are all professionals. If you want to find us, you can definitely find them.”
Li Yi comforted her: "It's okay. We'll just stay here for one day anyway, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning. Don't worry about them."
With that said, Li Yi got out of the car first.
Seeing Li Yi appear, the reporter who was squatting immediately ran over.
“Brother Yi! Can you do an interview?”
“Hello Brother Yi, I’m from Daju Entertainment. Can you answer a few questions?”
Looking at them, Li Yixiao asked: "Good guys, we ran so far, how can you find us?"
Hearing this, the reporters all smiled and explained: "We were notified by our colleagues and came here."
“You guys have become extremely popular recently. There are so many people who know you, so it’s easy to find them. If you’re not transparent, we won’t be able to find you.”
“Isn’t that right?”
Li Yi asked curiously: "We were all in disguise when we left the airport. You obviously didn't notice us, so why did you find us so quickly?"
The reporters were blunt: "I didn't recognize it the first time, but I recognized it after watching the replay?"
“The airport has surveillance, and when I saw your license plate number, I found it immediately.”
“We have colleagues all over the country. We exchange resources and the information is very transparent.”
"major."
Li Yi raised his thumb at them, then rushed behind him and asked: "Did they all take pictures?"
“It was filmed.”
Director Zeng held up his mobile phone and jumped out of the car.
Nodding, Li Yi said to the reporters: "You are suspected of stealing private information. I can call the police."
When the reporters saw this, they looked at each other, and then they all raised their mobile phones. On the screen were diagnosis certificates: "We all have jade syndrome."
…”
Even with Li Yi’s hundreds of years of experience, he was instantly speechless when he heard this sentence.
“Brother Yi, we won’t disturb you. We will just shoot some material and go back to deliver the work.”
Journalists are wise to give in.
Seeing that they knew what to do, Li Yi also nodded: "Then don't block here and affect other people's business. We will make time for interviews later."
The reporters agreed wholeheartedly, and when Liu Yifei came out, they took a few photos together and then left with a lot of gratitude.
Liu Yifei, who was depressed, returned to the hotel. As soon as she entered the lobby, two girls at the front desk hurriedly greeted her and explained: "Brother Yi, Yifei, we don't know how those reporters found them. We really don't have them." Told others you were here."
Li Yi naturally knew that they were not the ones who revealed the information, and after casually comforting them, he took Liu Yifei back to the room.
The two girls at the front desk were still feeling guilty, so they wrote two handwritten letters and slipped them in through the crack in the door.
After reading these two letters, Liu Yifei, who had been feeling depressed, finally showed a smile.
Seeing this, Li Yi hugged her and comforted her: "There is no need to care about those reporters, let them take pictures if they want.
“I don’t care about those reporters.” Liu Yifei shook her head and then asked, “Are you reading Weibo again?”
"No."
Li Yi put the back of his hand against her cheek and said with a smile: "Those navy troops will disappear soon, there is no need to worry about them."
Liu Yifei’s eyebrows were a little sad, and she sighed softly: “I know there are trolls taking the lead, but in the past few days, there are indeed many fans of mine who have lost their followers.
There are several fans who have been following me since I first debuted, but they have all left the group.
I have always regarded them as good friends, but they left the group without even saying hello.
They may not like me, but why didn’t they even say goodbye?
I…"
She fell silent before she finished speaking, and her mood was visibly depressed.
Seeing this, Li Yi rubbed her head and hugged her tighter.
After pondering for a moment, Li Yi said: "There are 8 billion people in the world and 197 countries. We will probably meet 29.2 million people in our lifetime.
But in the end, there will be no more than 150 people who can stay with us.
Most of the people we meet will leave us.
So, meeting is just an accident, and parting is the norm.
Although some people have left you, there are more people who still like you.
Cherish the people in front of you and treat them with sincerity. "
Listening to Li Yi's words, Liu Yifei nodded.
But Li Yi could see that she didn't listen.
This matter cannot be explained by others, she has to figure it out herself.
Li Yi didn't try to persuade her, he just hugged her quietly and waited until she fell asleep, then put her on the bed.
After sleeping until four in the morning, Li Yi woke her up.
After Liu Yifei woke up in a daze, she squinted her eyes and looked around, but forgot where she was.
“It’s time to set off to pick lotus roots.”
Li Yi reminded her, and then she remembered where she was and what she was doing.
The key to filming a documentary is authenticity, so makeup is generally not applied to the camera crew.
Liu Yifei was also happy to have some leisure time. She and Li Yi got into the crew's car and rushed to the filming location without makeup.
The reporter who was squatting was awakened by the silence. While yawning and complaining, he started the car and followed.
The shooting location is Zhenhu Lake located on the east side of Jiayu County.
The temperature was slightly cool in the autumn morning. After opening the window and enjoying the cool breeze for a while, Liu Yifei gradually woke up.
When the film crew arrived at their destination, it was still dark, but the lights of flashlights and electric lamps were already shining on the lakeside, and there were a lot of people moving around.
Liu Yifei was a little surprised when she saw this: "Is there someone already there?"
“Those are the workers who pick the lotus roots.”
Director Zeng explained while driving: "They came here before dawn to prepare, and then went to the lake to dig after dawn, and worked until dark."
“There’s no need to come so early, right?”
Liu Yifei asked puzzledly: "Isn't it too late in another hour or two?"
“The sky gets up very quickly.”
Director Zeng explained: "They are counting on making money during this period. They start working at dawn and race against time. If they can dig more, they can make more money."
“It’s so hard...”
Liu Yifei looked out the window at the lotus root diggers getting closer and closer, and was full of expectations for today's shooting.
