Chapter 213 The battle of wits and courage with the director begins from the first shot
After finishing their makeup and packing their luggage, the seven people put the enamel basins and cups given to them by the program crew last night on their luggage, and walked out of the hotel in neat and radiant manner.
Please remember their first official shot of the second season and their makeup, because they probably won't look like this in the next few days.
At this time, the program crew had already driven the new car that Yu Yuchenchen had seen to the entrance of the hotel. As soon as the brothers went out, they saw this business car which was obviously much higher in grade than the previous season. Everyone's face was filled with excited smiles as if they had never seen a luxury car before.
It’s not that they dislike the shabby van that accompanied them for nearly a week in the first season, but this business car with a shiny exterior, spacious interior and an electric trunk door is really cost-effective.
There is already a wall of Dove chocolate in the trunk. As the biggest title sponsor of this season, they can at least have chocolate freedom this season.
After hearing the good news, no matter whether the brothers liked chocolate or were on a diet, they all happily banged on the enamel basins to celebrate. Lu Hu even showed his strength as a variety show boy and threw the enamel cups to cheer everyone up. The cups bounced on the ground and made a rhythmic sound.
After confirming again and again that this was the car they were going to use for their trip to Northeast China, the brothers happily waited for the staff to empty the trunk and put their luggage in the car. Looking at the spacious seats, Wang Yuexin suggested that they might as well sit in the same seats as in the first season.
Wang Zhengliang volunteered to serve as the driver again, and Yu Yu followed closely and raised her hand to indicate that she could also serve as the driver's substitute. As for the old positions in the first season, Su Xing recalled for a second and immediately said that this time Chen Qisheng would sit in the front passenger seat, and Shengliang, who had just released a collaboration song, would sit in the front. He quickly pulled Yu Yu, who also released a collaboration song with him - and this year's collaboration song "The Betrayer" performed well - and the little sweet melon Wang Yuexin, who he had forced himself to sit in the back.
Speaking of the classic lyrics written by Su Xing in "The Betrayer" - "What was spilled was ink, or the devil mocking the truth. How can the chirping sparrows understand that the landing of the bird of paradise is equivalent to lying on the railway tracks? The general sharp tongue, second-rate slander, and densely packed letters accuse the world of only broken trust." - It was also regarded as an easter egg of "Bird of Paradise" by fans, and they were obsessed with it for a long time.
In particular, he published "The Betrayer" to support Yu Yu when her song "Bird of Paradise" was questioned as a studio work with post-production sound editing. But in fact, when Yu Yu was composing "Bird of Paradise" and collaborating with Su Xing on "The Betrayer", the two songs did not have much connection. It was just a coincidence.
But netizens have such strong imagination that they can make countless sweet things out of any small details. Yu Yu doesn’t quite understand it, but just hopes that their blood sugar indicators won’t exceed the standard.
The driving seat was occupied by Wang Zhengliang and Chen Hesheng, the two seats in the middle were occupied by Zhang Yuan and Lu Hu. In fact, there were three seats in this row, but the seats near the door were temporary seats that could be folded up. The last row was occupied by Yu Yu, Su Xing and Wang Yuexin. The seats were decided quickly. Yu Yu saw the brothers getting into the car without looking back and no one remembered that there was one most important thing they had not done, so he couldn't help but call them with a smile.
"My brothers, we haven't received today's living expenses yet."
"Oh, yes, we still have 680 yuan today." Driver Wang had just gotten in the car and hadn't even put on his seat belt yet. Yu Yu reminded him to get out of the car quickly and he became Wang the financial officer. He ran to Zhao Hao and stretched out his hand, "Give me the money."
Being asked for money so bluntly and confidently, Zhao Hao reluctantly took out a stack of his own loose bills, counted them repeatedly to make sure it was 680 yuan, and then put the money in Wang Zhengliang's hand, completely ignoring the other party's complaints that he didn't know to keep more cash on hand until the second season.
Why do you need to prepare so much cash? Are you going to rob them? Anyway, they can always get the money back from you. There is no need to prepare so much money.
Zhao Hao smiled in his heart, and when Wang Zheng finished collecting the money and was about to go back, he slowly said, "Wait a minute, the money for the car hasn't been paid yet."
"This car? What car? You're telling me this?" Wang Zhengliang's eyes widened in disbelief. He immediately turned around and complained to the brothers in the car and Yu Yu who was waiting for him downstairs, "Brothers, they're starting to collect money now!"
Yu Yu stepped forward immediately upon hearing this. He would not let Xiao Liang fight Zhao Hao alone. He was worried that Xiao Liang would suffer at the hands of Zhao Hao, a dishonest profiteer. "Tell me, what's going on?"
It’s okay that the car ran out of gas before, but now we have to charge them money?
"There is a fee for renting a car," Zhao Hao explained.
"You didn't ask me to pay for the first season. We are old customers. Old customers get discounts. Why is it that in the second season, not only are we not getting any discounts, but we have to pay extra?" Yu Yu bargained.
"That's what I mean. How can you do business like this?" Wang Zhengliang agreed.
Zhao Hao acted as if you can buy it or not: "In the first season, the transportation we provided for free was the van. Later, it was another price to upgrade your vehicle. This season is the same. This car is two levels higher than the van in the first season, so we have to pay an upgrade fee, right? Don't worry, the upgrade fee is not expensive. Our friendship is here, so we can buy it out in one go."
When Lu Hu heard the word "buyout", it was as if a switch was triggered. He leaned his head out of the car speechlessly and said, "I am very familiar with the word buyout. When they negotiated business with me before, they always wanted to buy out my songs in one go. I am not stupid and would never agree to such unreasonable requests. Zhao Hao didn't expect you to be such a person."
Over the years, Lu Hu has written a lot of OSTs, which are not expensive but of high quality, so there are always bosses who want to buy out the copyright of more songs at one time. Influenced by Yu Yu at the beginning, he attached great importance to the ownership of his children, so Lu Hu never agreed to the buyout request, but he didn't expect Zhao Hao to do this.
Zhao Hao quickly defended himself: "200 yuan, and the right to use this car belongs to you."
Renting a business car for more than a week for 200 yuan is indeed not expensive, even too cheap. Land Rover immediately stopped calling for it. Double standards come so quickly. He waved his hand to let Zhao Hao take it.
"Fortunately it's not a rip-off." Yu Yu nodded.
"It's not too much." Chen Xiansheng had no objection.
Seeing that his brothers all agreed, Wang Zhengliang took out two red bills from his newly received living expenses and handed them to Zhao Hao: "Here, two hundred, no need to change."
There is no change for this. Zhao Hao put the red bill into his pocket and stopped Yu Yu and Wang Zhengliang who were about to return to the car thinking that they had settled the account: "Wait, we haven't finished yet."
"? What else do you want to settle? We have already settled the bill. Don't tell me you still want to settle the bill for last night's barbecue." Wang Zhengliang reflexively held his purse tightly.
"What? The barbecue last night? Didn't they treat us? Wait, I have evidence of your claim that the production team treated us last night!" Lu Hu took out his phone without saying a word and prepared to pull out the video from last night. "You are so good, Zhao Hao. You actually did this even though you have evidence."
Zhao Hao was fearless: "It wasn't the barbecue. The dinner was indeed paid for by the program team, but before that, Yu Yu and Wang Yuexin checked in early and incurred a day's room fee..."
? Listen, is this person speaking human language?
Facts have proved that people will laugh when they are speechless, so Wang Zhengliang laughed.
Su Xing couldn't help but push open the car window: "Brother Liang, what did I tell you in the car when we came here? I said they would charge Yu Shao and Yue Xin's room fees to us. Look, am I right?"
"Why are you like this?" Zhang Yuan also stuck his head out and stared at him with a frown.
"The filming hadn't started when they arrived," said Chen Qisheng, meaning that the accommodation provided before the filming started could not be counted in their filming schedule.
Wang Yuexin couldn't sit still, he ran down from the car, as if he was going to pick a fight with Zhao Hao: "Director, you're not interested anymore."
Yu Yu clapped her hands and shook her head, "Beautiful, Haohaozi, so beautiful. Even the Jews are ashamed of themselves in front of you. How much is the room fee?"
"You're not really going to give it to me, are you?" Wang Yuexin immediately grabbed Yu Yu, unable to believe why he suddenly became so easy to talk to.
"Just ask first." Yu Yu smiled honestly.
"I won't charge you more. You all know how much the room rate is, right? Just 150 yuan. It's a very reasonable price, right?" Zhao Hao was secretly happy but he had to pretend that he was thinking about them. Unfortunately, he couldn't fool the old friends who were too familiar with him.
150 yuan for a night in a star hotel is indeed very conscience-free, but in this situation, they just think that this person has a very bad conscience.
"Are you sure that the room fee for our early check-in is not borne by the program crew, but should be included in the expenses of us brothers, right?" Yu Yu confirmed with Zhao Hao again.
Zhao Hao always felt that there was something behind his words, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he suddenly lost his confidence and boastfulness: "Is it...right?"
"Okay, then I have a little here too..." Under the watchful eyes of Wang Zhengliang and Wang Yuexin, Yu Yu slowly took out a neatly folded receipt from his pocket, unfolded it, and handed it to the finance department manager Wang Zhengliang.
Wang Zhengliang didn’t understand what this was, but Wang Yuexin next to him knew. He couldn’t help but laugh out loud and gave Yu Yu a thumbs up.
It was a receipt for dining expenses, the amount of which was more than 400 yuan, and the time on it showed that it was the same night that Yu Yu and Wang Yuexin arrived in Bingcheng.
"Please pay us the director and producer's meal expenses. This money comes from our living expenses." Yu Yu smiled gently and harmlessly.
"Pfft..." Wang Zhengliang understood, and so did the other people in the car. After a brief moment of stunned silence, they all burst into laughter.
Zhao Hao was stunned, Da Linlin beside him was also stunned, and the other staff members of the program team all had smiles on their faces.
"...Didn't you treat us to this meal?" Zhao Hao said weakly.
"Then are you also paying for our early check-in?" Yu Yu blinked.
The two sides looked at each other for three seconds.
"Hahaha, I was just joking with you just now. Of course, the room fee for your early check-in will not be counted as your expense. We have already settled everything, and you can go on your way." Zhao Hao said.
Yu Yu smiled: "I was just joking with the director and producer. How can I let the two of you pay for your meals together? Then let's get going."
Yu Yu walked into the car with his head held high. The brothers cheered like they were welcoming their victorious generals. They stretched out their hands and high-fived Yu Yu one by one. Zhao Hao couldn't stand watching them celebrating recklessly under his nose, so he sighed and walked into his car, following the brothers' car in front of him to Wuchang City.
After driving for a while, Yu Yu glanced at the director's car that suddenly slowed down behind him. As if he had remembered something important, he said to his brothers, "Oh, guys, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you..."
In the back, in Zhao Hao's car, he and Dalinlin looked at the oil level indicator which was almost empty, feeling somewhat puzzled.
"Didn't you fill up the tank before you set out? How come it's suddenly out of gas? Is there a gas tank leak???"
At this time, Yu Yu's voice inexplicably came from the intercom in his car, and in the background there were noises of other people laughing like atavistic people—
"Director, if you guys are going to refuel, please let us know. It's okay, we are not in a hurry, we can wait for you to go together."
…How did they know their car was running out of gas?
Yu Yu, you naughty kid? ? ! !
"@Everyone question, when Yu Yu went out to buy breakfast this morning, did she see or touch our car?" Zhao Haosheng asked helplessly in the work group.
