Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 365 - 335: Ma Xiaochen’s First Nano Treatment Is About to Begin
The old man taught earnestly, and Zhao Heng learned diligently. It wasn’t until five in the afternoon that this day of video shooting lessons concluded.
"Hmm, today’s shoot is good. Once it’s ready, I’ll have my assistant send it directly to you, and you can publish it right away."
Old man Luo Ji looked at the video shot for Zhao Heng today and nodded with satisfaction.
"Old Luo, you’re really impressive. I think the investors must be a bit short-sighted for not hiring you to make movies."
Zhao Heng looked at the video Luo Ji had shot for him today, and compared to what he had done before, it was like night and day—from lighting to composition, it was on a completely different level.
It just goes to show that some things really need to be done by professionals.
Besides, if it were someone else shooting a promotional video, given Director Luo’s level, it would cost a lot to hire him.
"This afternoon alone, given Director Luo’s rates, it would cost a fortune, wouldn’t it?"
Shu Xin commented with a sigh.
"I’m at this age with no kids, so what do I need money for? As long as I’m happy."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ji smiled and said.
If he had children, he’d surely be burdened by them, having to earn and save desperately even at his age.
It’s not surprising; right next door in Xiangjiang, some actors work themselves to the point of a heart attack just to earn money for their sons and daughters.
"Then let me treat you to dinner later, at my dad’s restaurant."
Zhao Heng thought for a moment and said.
Old man Luo was really genuine and straightforward, exuding an air of chivalry, like the heroes of the past.
Originally, he thought to treat Luo to something nice, but then he realized, given Luo’s status in the entertainment circle, he’s probably tasted all the delicacies, so inviting him to his family’s little restaurant would be even better.
"Your dad’s restaurant? What’s it like?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Ji was intrigued. He loved food and exploring eateries, especially street snacks; otherwise, he wouldn’t have met Zhao Heng at a late-night barbecue stall.
"It’s a place that makes local-style bench beef noodles."
Zhao Heng replied.
"Beef noodles I know, but what’s with the ’bench’?"
Hearing this, Luo Ji asked with sparkling curiosity. This ’bench’ sounded like a local specialty, the kind of snack he loved.
"In the past, when the place was small and crowded, the owner would bring out benches, and people would sit on them to eat noodles."
Zhao Heng explained. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
"In the past? Could people even afford beef back then?"
Luo Ji couldn’t help but ask.
You see, in agrarian society, cows were the greatest assets and symbols of productivity, therefore enjoying national treasure status in ancient times.
In ancient times, eating beef was illegal. It was only when a cow died of old age or an accident, after inspection by appointed officials, that people could eat beef.
"This is a local snack from our area where brine salt was produced. They used a lot of cattle as labor. Back then, there were thousands of well-salt mines with hundreds of thousands of oxen working, so there was plenty of beef to eat."
Zhao Heng briefly explained.
"So there’s that kind of backstory, how interesting, truly interesting."
Luo Ji nodded. To him, snacks derived from local culture were the ones with genuine flavor, the flavor of human stories.
At this moment, an assistant entered the studio and said to Luo Ji, "Director Luo, a journalist is here wanting to interview you."
"A journalist? What could they want to interview about now?"
Luo Ji asked, somewhat puzzled.
"You can turn them down."
After a pause, Luo Ji said decisively.
Recently, due to a certain female celebrity’s scandal with a younger guy, Luo Ji’s project was canceled. Naturally, the media caught the scent and sought to interview Luo Ji to get his feelings as a victim of circumstance, hoping to unearth more juicy stories, or at the very least, get his comments on the scandal.
Understanding their motives, Luo Ji declined all interview requests indiscriminately.
"Director Luo, it’s Reporter Wei this time; perhaps you should meet with her."
The assistant said to Luo Ji with a difficult expression.
"Alright then."
"Xiao Zhao, wait here a bit. I’ll be back after dealing with the reporter."
Luo Ji said to Zhao Heng after some thought.
Before Zhao Heng could nod, someone entered the studio and immediately said to Luo Ji, "Uncle Luo, you’re even turning down my interview?"
"You cheeky girl, even you are jumping on this bandwagon now."
Luo Ji shot a glance at the newcomer, saying rather helplessly.
"Dr. Zhao, you’re here too?"
As she spoke, the newcomer noticed Zhao Heng standing nearby and exclaimed in surprise. Seeing him here was truly unexpected for her.
"Reporter Wei?"
Zhao Heng was also surprised to see the newcomer because it was Wei Wei, someone he had interacted with before.
Though surprised, he quickly realized that since Luo Ji was a director and Wei Wei was a journalist, it wasn’t unusual for them to be in similar circles.
"Uncle Luo, why is Dr. Zhao here with you?"
Wei Wei asked Luo Ji with some curiosity, wondering how a renowned director and a doctor could be connected.
"Xiao Zhao wants to shoot a video, and I happen to be teaching him."
