Director Zhang got the news and hurriedly arrived, and the first thing he saw was Chef Zeng lying on the ground in a breathless state.
"What's going on here? Could it be food poisoning?" He was shocked and angry, not understanding how the shoot could have so many accidents.
Fortunately, someone beside him dispelled his worries, "It's not food poisoning, it's a Clarion's sturgeon that everyone ate."
Clarion's ... sturgeon?
Director Zhang closed his mouth and backed away without a word until he reached the door.
He just wanted to pull his legs out and run, but was set back up by Liu Jinsheng and Li Si.
Zhang director desperately struggled: "Let go! Let go of my hand, I really can't solve this!"
He was really scared. Although Director Zhang did not understand the law, he knew how serious it was to eat an extinct protected animal.
Not to mention others, the college student who pulled out a rare bird's egg a few years ago, but it was only until recently that he was released with great difficulty.
"Calm down, calm down." Liu Jinsheng comforted him, "The matter hasn't been spread out yet, and the photographer wasn't there at the time. Now this matter is known to no one else but us."
Director Zhang slowly stopped struggling, he closed his eyes and thought seriously for a moment and sighed.
"Alright, I won't say anything, this matter ends here. Give me the fish bones, I'll get a shredder to dispose of them."
Knowing that the matter was settled Li Si went back to the bedroom. Director Zhang followed Liu Jinsheng to the lounge and sat down, hearing the whole story.
He slammed the table.
"Li Si, it's Li Si again!" Director Zhang was in pain, "Again and again, I think he's challenging my bottom line!"
"Again and again?" Liu Jinsheng was dumbfounded, not knowing what else Li Si had done that was so outrageous.
Director Zhang coughed, "That's not important."
He stood up angrily, "No, I have to go talk to Li Si. If he doesn't quit, I don't think this show is going to make it."
Liu Jinsheng pulled his sleeve, "Old Zhang, for my sake, don't be so impulsive, give Li Si a chance. This young man is very kind and innocent, and he doesn't know that the fish is a Clarion's Sturgeon!"
Director Zhang looked at Liu Jinsheng with pity, not understanding how he could be tricked like this by Li Si.
It was useless to persuade him any further, Director Zhang rushed towards Li Si's dormitory room with a big stride and kicked open the door.
Li Si was wearing headphones with his back to the door and didn't hear anything.
Director Zhang was just about to tap Li Si's shoulder when he saw a tablet in front of the latter. On the screen of the tablet, Li Si was video calling with a group of people.
Yes, a group of people.
Looking at the background, it was an abandoned warehouse. The tattooed men were sitting or standing in twos and threes, all of them listening to Li Si with full attention.
"What about the iron stick, I personally don't think it's very good. It looks like it can be stuck into the flesh easily, but because of the texture, most iron sticks bend easily."
"I personally recommend wooden sticks, which have the advantage of ..."
"Yes, the chopper works very well. Pay attention to the trick of using it, the first two strokes to find the right position, and the third stroke to crackle and chop with all your might. The chopped things can be thrown directly into the water."
As Li Si lectured, those tattooed men also kept experimenting with various weapons.
Under the night, countless chopping knives reflected the cold light.
Huge fucking horror.
Speaking of which, Li Si finally noticed someone behind him. He took off his headphones, turned around, and flashed a warm smile at Director Zhang:
"Director Zhang, why are you free to come to my place? Is something wrong?"
"What are you doing?" Director Zhang asked.
"Just training and giving a lecture to the brothers... er, are you leaving?"
Director Zhang had already retreated to the door and smiled at his words, "Yes, I suddenly thought of something else, so I won't bother you for now."
The door slammed shut with a bang, and the sound of hurried running came from the corridor. Li Si scratched his head, it seemed that Director Zhang was really busy.
On the other side, Director Zhang walked stiffly back to the lounge and sat down in front of Liu Jinsheng.
"How was it?" Liu Jinsheng asked with some loss.
Director Zhang sipped his tea and moistened his throat, "I feel ... like it's better to let Li Si continue to act, everything is the same as before."
"Really?" Liu Jinsheng surprise, repeatedly asked what made Zhang director changed his mind.
Unfortunately, Director Zhang shook his head vigorously and said nothing. He only told Liu Jinsheng that if he died in the future, the murderer must be Li Si.
Turning to the next day, everyone had a tacit understanding to never mention the fish eating incident that happened last night.
The male actors ate breakfast in the front room, while the female stars were busy grooming themselves.
At around eight o'clock, Zhang Zi and another actress came down talking and laughing. After a while, Shuhua followed them and slowly descended the stairs.
Liu Jinsheng swept his gaze and his heart was like a mirror. He could tell that Shu Hua must have been sidelined by the other actresses.
He was a senior in the industry and a big brother, so it was inconvenient for him to step in at this time. So he secretly elbowed Li Si.
Li Si looked puzzled and Liu Jin Sheng nudged at Shu Hua.
Li Si revealed an expression of [I understand]. He walked towards Shuhua and the two of them chatted about something, Shuhua gave Liu Jinsheng a strange look.
A few seconds later, Liu Jinsheng's WeChat rang and he looked down to see that the person who added him was Shuhua.
"Brother Liu, Li Si said you want to add me?"
Liu Jinsheng slapped his head, this stupid kid!
He wanted to explain the misunderstanding to Shu Hua when Director Zhang had already walked into the front room. Director Zhang greeted the guests one by one, except when he spoke to Li Si, his expression stiffened for a moment.
Seeing that everyone had finished breakfast, Director Zhang announced today's itinerary: going to the market to buy vegetables.
Zhang Zi couldn't hold back a yawn, everyone looked at her and she immediately blushed.
Director Zhang was also a bit helpless, explaining that this activity was indeed boring, but there was also a lot that could be tapped into.
For example, the celebrities could haggle with the vegetable farmers to portray their grounded image. Or find ways to buy more and better ingredients. When the show airs, these are the things to watch.
"But ...," Director Zhang's tone changed, "I have a more important task for a certain guest."
"Li Si, I need you to record the prices of the major local vegetable markets."
Li Si, who was suddenly named, just nodded his head lightly, in a very well-spoken manner. However, most of the other guests had shocked looks on their faces.
Recording prices, as easy as it sounded, was actually a delicate task that took a lot of time.
What's more, the total duration of a variety show was limited. The more guests the occasion, the more footage you can get.
To do this kind of thing alone was equivalent to directly excluding Li Si from the main body of the programme.
Now the other guests were looking at Li Si with a bit of gloating in their eyes. This guy, he wouldn't have offended the director, right?
And Director Zhang's idea was actually very simple, he couldn't let Li Si fool around anymore! There had to be a way to restrain him.
Li Si sat expressionlessly in his chair, as if he had no objections to this obviously unfair arrangement.
And right at this moment, to everyone's surprise, Shuhua suddenly raised his hand.
"Director Zhang, can I go with Li Si?"
Director Zhang looked at her in surprise and nodded his head to say yes. So Shuhua naturally sat next to Li Si.
"What are you doing?" Li Si asked in a small voice.
Shu Hua toppled him back with a cold stare.
