Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 683: This is where you will be filming from now on!
Chapter 683: Chapter 683: This is where you will be filming from now on!
The Capital had entered winter by November.
The fog hung low in the air in the early morning, and the bare tree branches were coated in a layer of frost.
Half of the Jiang Family’s servants lived in the servants’ quarters behind the courtyard and, after climbing out of their warm beds reluctantly, they saw their young mistress already walking over with a red tassel spear in hand, dressed in a thin practice outfit.
A few of them were so startled they quickly tidied up and hurried off to work.
The "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" of the spear dancing shortly echoed in the courtyard, as if vowing to break through the cold, silent dawn and welcome the new day.
Ji Yanbai was awakened by this sound and, for a moment, he thought he had forgotten to turn off the television from the previous day.
When he opened his door, he saw it was Jiang Li practicing!
The woman, her hair tied in a neat ponytail and dressed in a pure white Tai Chi outfit, was entwined with the long tassel spear, as agile as a startled dragon.
He was filled with a surge of excitement.
He knew this woman had been holding back on the island!
Thus, Ji Yanbai, also excited, found a stick and began to practice with Jiang Li.
He had learned stick fighting in the army and was not inferior to Jiang Li’s red tassel spear; they exchanged moves back and forth, looking very much like a martial arts competition.
Jiang Cheng, pushing his wheelchair, arrived to witness this scene.
He had thought he had woken up early enough to train with Jiang Li, just like Jiang Shixu did.
But he hadn’t expected Ji Yanbai to seize the opportunity.
If only he had known, he would have gone to the gym to work out; then he could have been Jiang Li’s bodyguard and not given this man a chance!
Seeing Jiang Cheng coming, Jiang Li took advantage of a gap to ask, "Is Jiang Yan up yet?"
Jiang Cheng snapped to attention and replied energetically, "No, Sister. Should I go call him?"
"Yes, you go," Jiang Li said, flipping her red tassel spear, "But it’s so cold today, he’s probably not going to get up. You’ll need to think of something."
With Jiang Li’s words, Jiang Cheng was no longer worried and smiled wickedly.
"Don’t worry, Sister, leave it to me."
At six o’clock in the morning, in three-degree weather, Jiang Yan was sleeping snugly in his warm air-conditioned room when suddenly he felt a sticky sensation on his face.
Cold and fishy.
Jiang Yan reluctantly stretched out his hand to swat away whatever was on his face, but the next second, he heard a crisp "crack," and the pain made him immediately jump out of bed.
"Ah!!!!"
Now he was completely awake and finally saw what was clamped on his finger.
It was a big lobster!
And at the doorway, Jiang Cheng was sitting in his wheelchair, watching him with a shallow smile.
"Brother, you’re finally awake. If you hadn’t gotten up, I was about to ask Aunt Li for two lobsters."
Jiang Yan was livid.
"You fucking sicko!"
Jiang Cheng pursed his lips, "Don’t blame me; Sister asked me to call you."
Upon hearing Jiang Li’s name, Jiang Yan’s bluster diminished instantly, and he could only grudgingly grin and bear it as he pulled the lobster off his hand.
Jiang Cheng couldn’t have been more thrilled watching the whole process.
In the past at home, it was always Jiang Yan who bullied him, and he could only silently endure it.
Now he finally had a chance for revenge!
Jiang Yan washed up with a dark face and came downstairs; Jiang Li had already finished her training and was eating in the dining room. Seeing him come down, she slowly tore off a piece of bread and said, "You have ten minutes to eat, then we’re going to South City."
Jiang Yan blinked, "Why go to such a far place?"
"To take you to the set for filming."
...
Until he got into the car, Jiang Yan remembered there kinda was such a matter.
Before going to Dragon Ridge Island, Jiang Li did seem to have taken on a movie for him.
He’d forgotten the name, but he remembered the director looked miserable, and everyone in the crew was so broke it jingled, and in the end, Jiang Li had to run around to raise funds.
!!! Could it be that Jiang Li plans to dump all five hundred million into this?!
Jiang Yan was getting anxious, but as soon as Jiang Li got in the car, she was on the phone, too busy for him to get a word in.
"Alright, then I’ll leave this matter to you, I’ll send the information to you later, it has the address, you can come and have a look when you’re not busy."
The voice on the other end was a gentle male voice, somewhat familiar.
"Alright, I’ll pay attention to it, but don’t hold too much hope, that person’s condition you mentioned seems pretty serious, acupuncture might not be effective."
"No problem, a dead horse as a living horse doctor, if it’s useless I’ll think of other methods."
"Alright."
"Who’s that? Why are you always on the phone with men?" As soon as Jiang Li put down her phone, Jiang Yan started to grumble displeased.
Jiang Li glanced at him indifferently, "It’s Yu Li."
Jiang Yan was even more puzzled, "What do you need him for? Nobody’s sick in our family, right? You’re not finding him for Jiang Cheng, are you? Why do you care so much about that kid? He’s not—"
Jiang Li’s glare successfully made him swallow the rest of his words.
The sedan pulled up by the roadside, and Jiang Li pushed open the car door.
"You’d better worry about yourself for the future."
With a "bang," the door closed again, and it dawned on Jiang Yan that they had already arrived, so he quickly followed suit and got out of the car.
South City was even colder than where they lived, surrounded by desolate mountains, the wind seemed to almost slice faces off.
Jiang Yan’s hair had hardly grown out and being exposed in the air made his head ache tremendously.
Gritting his teeth, he tightened his coat around him and hurried to catch up with Jiang Li.
"What on earth are you bringing me to this godforsaken place for? Haven’t you had enough of Dragon Ridge Island?"
Jiang Li said emotionlessly, "This is where you’ll be filming from now on."
Jiang Yan: ???
He looked around and burst out again, "A place with no front village or back store, you want me to stay here for half a year?! Are you crazy?!"
Jiang Li ignored him and continued walking.
Shao Changqing and his group saw her from afar and quickly came to meet her.
"Miss Jiang, over here!"
After jogging over, he quickly handed the coffees to them both.
"Drink up and get warm. It’s windy outside, let’s go in and talk."
Yin Le also saw the woman in front of him.
This was his first face-to-face encounter with Jiang Li.
He had seen her on the trending searches several times before, but being in the industry, he knew well that those photos were likely beautified, and real people usually fell short.
But the first glance at Jiang Li left him stunned.
There were actually people in real life who were more attractive than celebrities!
Jiang Li today was only wearing a pure black wool coat; its cinched waist design made her look not the least bit bulky, but even more slender instead.
Around her neck was a sapphire blue scarf, making her skin look even whiter and a pair of eyes shiny black.
Elegant and cold, she was like a landscape.
With such looks in the entertainment industry, she would absolutely dominate!
