Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 706 - 704: Survival on a Deserted Island with Advertising? (One More Update)
Originally, when Zhang Ziweng informed Le Tong that the photoshoot location was on an island in D City, no one asked much detail. After all, D City is a coastal city with many small surrounding islands.
Upon arriving in D City, the car joined with the filming crew and headed towards the pier. Da Bao, who was unfamiliar with the entertainment industry, was puzzled when he saw the extensive crew comprising dozens of vehicles.
"Uncle Li, did my mom mention whether they have other filming tasks simultaneously? With Nuonuo and Little Treasure as the only main characters for this endorsement shoot, isn’t it a bit excessive to go this big?"
Xiao Li was also bewildered. The matter that puzzled Da Bao had been on his mind the entire trip.
"Miss Le didn’t mention it. Perhaps, this brand’s production is exceptionally elaborate, which is why there are so many team members."
Da Bao thought about it, and besides that, there really wasn’t any other likely reason.
The ferry carrying a dozen vehicles departed the port, and Zhang Ziweng knocked on the window from outside. Da Bao lowered the car window.
"Young Master Ji, we’ve prepared lunch. Please join us for a meal."
Upon hearing this, Da Bao alighted with Nuonuo and Little Treasure.
The two kids didn’t treat this as work at all. The two playful little ones leaned against the railing, pointing excitedly at the vast blue sea for a while before the physiological call of hunger led them to follow Zhang Ziweng into the cabin.
The cabin was much bigger than Da Bao had imagined. The front was arranged like a restaurant with a small bar in the middle, and at the back, there seemed to be some guest rooms.
The lunch was also much more sumptuous than Da Bao expected. At the table, besides Zhang Ziweng, were Mr. Mai and the director and photographer of the shoot.
"Mr. Mai, I didn’t expect you to be here as well."
This Mr. Mai, as Da Bao later found out, was the general distributor for this brand in the Asia-Pacific region.
"Of course, I have high hopes for Si Han and Xiao Huan."
Past ambassadors for the brand were mostly well-known child stars. Da Bao felt that Mr. Mai, rather than being hopeful, seemed more anxious.
Of course, it’s not that Da Bao wasn’t confident in his brother and sister, but they, despite their striking appearance, had never undergone any professional training or similar filming experience. Their sensitivity to the camera was at a typical selfie level, making faces at the lens or doing ’V’ gestures.
However, these concerns weren’t something Da Bao worried about. The contract clearly stated that the two little ones were only responsible for the shooting and attending some major related promotional events. The quality of the shoot or the advertisement’s reception wasn’t their responsibility.
"Uncle Mai, can you tell us what to pay attention to during the shoot?" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Nuonuo has always been a studious student. Knowing she wasn’t smart, she would always prep for the next day’s lessons.
She approached the current work with the same learning attitude.
Mr. Mai pointed to Director Luo Qing and Photographer Du Xiaoguan, "If you have any questions, you can ask Uncle Luo or Brother Xiao Guan."
Nuonuo immediately turned her eager-to-learn gaze to the other two. Director Luo, who looked about in his thirties, smiled kindly at her, "Si Han, there’s no need to be nervous. Just treat it like playing with your brother as usual; there’s nothing special to pay attention to."
In contrast to the diligent Nuonuo, Little Treasure, who was wolfing down food, looked up and said to Nuonuo, "Sister, what’s there to worry about when we can eat our fill first? If there’s anything important, the uncles and aunties will tell us. We should eat up and regain energy to work properly."
Little Treasure, with full cheeks stuffed with food, still looked adorably cute, making people smile.
The table burst into laughter at his reasoned yet garbled words, and everyone relaxed to enjoy lunch.
Because Little Treasure made a valid point: only with a full stomach can you work with energy.
Besides directing commercials, Director Luo Qing also directed films. Seeing Little Treasure’s composed demeanor sparked his appreciation for talent.
"Young Master Ji, would Young Master Ji be interested in acting in a movie? I’m looking for an actor for the young protagonist in my next film, and I think Young Master Ji fits the role well."
Da Bao casually glanced at Little Treasure, "Director Luo, you’ll have to ask him. If he wants to, I couldn’t stop him if I tried. If he doesn’t, even pointing a gun at him wouldn’t work."
Like Da Bao, Little Treasure had the right to plan his own life from a young age.
Director Luo directly asked Little Treasure, "Young Master Ji, do you want to give it a try?"
Little Treasure didn’t show much interest in this rare opportunity, only raising an eyebrow slightly.
"Let’s finish the commercial first. If it’s not fun, I won’t take it."
Director Luo was momentarily taken aback before realizing, "So, Young Master Ji only came to shoot this advertisement because he thought it would be fun?"
Without thinking, Little Treasure replied, "Who knows if it’ll be fun. I’m only here to accompany my sister because I’m afraid she’d be bullied."
In the past few months, Little Treasure had grown a bit taller. He now stood at the same height as Nuonuo. Together, the handsome boy and pretty girl were quite eye-catching.
"Rest assured, we won’t bully your sister."
Everyone in the filming crew knew that the two main characters of this endorsement were the Ji Group’s young miss and master. Who would dare bully them unless they had lost their mind or had courage beyond reason?
After lunch, everyone headed to the guest rooms at the back of the cabin to rest.
Initially, Little Treasure made a fuss about going outside for some sea breeze, but after receiving two glares and a few harsh words from Da Bao, he obediently lay down to sleep.
The trio was awakened by a knock on the door. It turned out the ferry had reached the filming location and was preparing to dock.
Da Bao thought they were arriving at a developed tourist destination. Unexpectedly, after disembarking, the vehicles drove along what’s barely a dirt road for quite some time, surrounded by complete wilderness and no signs of habitation.
"Uncle Li, are we here to film some deserted island survival reality show?"
Xiao Li took in the surrounding scenery. It was beautiful but did indeed bear no trace of artificial touch.
"Young Master Yu, we’ve been tricked by the production crew, haven’t we?" Xiao Li grew slightly worried.
Da Bao didn’t worry about this.
"This, I don’t worry about; they wouldn’t have the nerve!"
What Da Bao was concerned about was whether the rough conditions would be too much for his pampered little prince and princess!
"Should we catch up to them and ask for clarification?" Xiao Li, although a senior, was also instructed by Ji Rui and his wife to help as much as possible when leaving.
But he always had great faith in Da Bao’s ability.
"No need, let’s assess when we reach the location." In a moment, Da Bao had already returned to a calm demeanor.
