192. Wei Sama's Entourage

On the second day, Qi Le’an was not able to wake up early and he missed his breakfast at Wei Changfeng’s house.

For this, Wei Changfeng explained to his family, “It is because he had bloodletting and cupping yesterday, so he feels a little dizzy.”

Wei Mama was worried, “He is dizzy? What’s the matter? Does he need to see Mr. Cui again?”

Wei Changfeng replied he didn’t need to, and that he just needed a rest.

Wei Mama was still worried, but soon her attention shifted from Qi Le’an to another person.

It was Sheng Chang’an who came.

Sheng Chang’an arrived in a hurry. Obviously, he couldn’t help but come after hanging up Wei Xin’an’s call yesterday. President Sheng didn’t even bring a briefcase with him. He just bought a razor at the airport supermarket.

Sheng Chang’an, who always put up a stiff face, couldn’t help laughing the moment he saw Wei Xin’an.

Qi Le’an was surprised at seeing this. He didn’t expect that President Sheng would bring out such an embarrassing scene.

Not like Qi Le’an, Sheng Chang’an was a real would-be son-in-law. Wei Mama received him warmly, and the room originally arranged for Qi Le’an was naturally given to Sheng Chang’an. However, at night, Qi Le’an saw with his own eyes that President Sheng entered Sister Wei’s room.

As her daughter and the would-be son-in-law were both presents, of course, they would talk about weddings and marriage. Ever since President Sheng knew that he had become a father, his attitude towards the world had always been good. Thus, to him now, whatever Wei Mama said, he would follow; and whatever his wife wanted, he would try to satisfy her.

As his fiancée refused to take any traditional Chinese medicine and said that she was returning to China, Sheng Chang’an thought about it for a while and felt that it was not good for his fiancée to take such a long-distance flight so often. He thus planned to take Wei Xin’an to tour around New Zealand.

What was this full-time manager doing? We should know if he was to manage his company in this way, his company would have closed down long ago!

So, when Wei Changfeng was about to start to work, Sheng Chang’an drove off with Wei Xin’an.

Wei Mama was speechless about this. She was worried about the fetal instability of the first three months! She wondered if Sheng Chang’an didn’t want to be a father?!

The filming site of Wei Changfeng’s crew in Wellington was located near Mount Victoria, which was within walking distance from the city center. However, the place where the crew wanted to take the scene was deep in Mount Victoria, where they could only live in tents.

It took them more than ten days to do the filming. Even though they were all in Wellington, Wei Changfeng obviously couldn’t go home.

“Why not stay with me?” Wei Changfeng suggested, unwilling to part away with Qi Le’an.

“… Is that okay?” Of course, Qi Le’an loved to. It was Wei Changfeng’s team after all. However, he wondered if Director Spear would agree.

In fact, Wei Changfeng was not sure about it either, “After the contents of this part are done, it’s time for Christmas…. And before that, Director Spear will let me go back to New York.”

Qi Le’an was not sick when Wei Changfeng came to New Zealand and they had planned to spend Christmas in New York.

“How about this way? I will ask about his idea,” Wei Changfeng said while picking up his phone.

Qi Le’an replied, “It’s fine if it doesn’t work. Don’t disturb the director!”

Wei Changfeng smiled gently, “Le’an also cares about others now.”

Qi Le’an couldn’t help but smile.

Wei Changfeng went out to make the call. He expressed his wish to take Qi Le’an with him. He didn’t expect that Director Spear to agree with him so easily, though there was an additional request,

“An won’t go back to New York before school starts, right? It’s good as long as you two are together! Thus why don’t you stay in the crew then before An’s school starts?”

Wei Changfeng thought for a moment and agreed with Director Spear.

When he returned to the room and told Qi Le’an about this, Qi Le’an was excited, “Can I stay in the crew for so long? Wow, so nice! But what can I do there?”

“Well, you can enjoy the scenery as well as the sunshine there,” Wei Changfeng suggested.

The scenes that Director Spear found for his film were all the best scenery. He used the latest CG technology to combine part of the image with a computer. Wei Changfeng was originally in charge of this aspect in New York. After he arrived in New Zealand, he was in charge of live filming.

Among the few executive directors, Wei Changfeng was undoubtedly the most loved one. All the way, Director Spear brought him by the side to take charge of the shooting for the characters.

Apart from Wei Changfeng, there was another director at the scene, but that person was often assigned to shoot the scenery.

“The camera of Fynn’s is full of life,”

Director Spear had praised Wei Changfeng more than once.

Due to the large temperature difference between morning and evening in the Victoria Mountains, Qi Le’an packed up his clothes for both summer and winter and went to the crew with Wei Changfeng. There were at least a hundred people on the crew. They set up a tent on a plain in the mountains, which looked like an ancient tribe.

Previously, when he was in Matamata Town, Qi Le’an had met most of the staff. When he arrived at Victoria Mountains, he saw the actors in the film.

“… Isn’t that the Best Actor! of the Oscar Award?!” Qi Le’an whispered to Wei Changfeng excitedly, “He is the leading role?”

Wei Changfeng shook his head and said, “The leading role is a newcomer, and that Best Actor is a supporting character.”

Qi Le’an’s mouth widened.

He and Wei Changfeng shared a tent. Wei Changfeng was a core team member of the crew; he was a neighbor of Director Spear and many actors were neighbors.

Qi Le’an found out that there was no news about this crew from the media, but they were talents in the field!

Before work, the crew members looked leisure. However, Qi Le’an knew that as soon as the sun rose the next day, the members of the crew would be busy again.

In the evening, Director Spear lit a bonfire, and twenty or thirty people were able to sit around the bonfire to have fun. Qi Le’an was also invited to drink and watch the stars. Wei Changfeng introduced his lover to everyone there. Qi Le’an’s happiness was about to overflow.

The night on Mount Victoria was really cold, but Qi Le’an felt very warm when he slept with Wei Changfeng.

Early the next morning, Wei Changfeng went out to work. Qi Le’an, who was blown by the cold wind, lost his interest in going on sleeping. He slowly got up, brushed his teeth, and made up his mind to go out for exercises.

He had just left the tent when he was called,

“An!” It was Director Spear’s assistant. He was the one with red hair, who had sympathized with Qi Le’an’s illness before.

“Yes?” Qi Le’an answered.

The red-haired man looked anxious. He asked, “Do you have time? The crew is short of hands at the moment! Vitor’s assistant froze all night last night and is now in fever!”

Vitor was also one of the people who attended the bonfire dinner last night. He was a photographer.

Qi Le’an was surprised, “I’m free, but can I do that?”

The red hair nodded wildly, “Yes, yes, you can! A temporary replacement! Quickly follow me!”

So Qi Le’an hadn’t reacted when he was sent to Vitor by the red hair.

The assistant shouted, “An is here! Vitor, I’ll leave him to you!”

Vitor replied and hurriedly stuffed Qi Le’an with a camera.

“Can you use it?” Vitor asked.

In Tisch, there was a photography class. Qi Le’an looked at the model of the camera and found he could use it himself. He nodded and Vitor was relieved. “That’s great… I only brought one assistant here but I didn’t expect him to fall ill!”

“The photos are very important! They will provide all the materials for the director’s shooting notes. I’m afraid you’ll have to work hard today! ”

Qi Le’an thought they were only photos used for publicity, but he didn’t expect that Director Spear had to write notes, too. He immediately asked, “What should I do?”

“I’ll be in charge of video shooting,” Vitor said, “while you’re in charge of the scenery shooting. Just keep filming for the director! But you must do them well!”

Qi Le’an nodded and said, “Okay, leave it to me.”

At this moment, he didn’t know how big a pit he had dug for himself.

The SLR camera, with its various lenses, weighed at least seven or eight kilograms. Qi Le’an didn’t feel heavy when he just got the equipment on his shoulder, but he felt something wrong after he walked from the camping area to the shooting site.

He and Wei Changfeng met each other in a hurry. Wei Changfeng felt surprised to see him.

“Vitor asked me for help at the moment…” Qi Le’an tried to explain.

Wei Changfeng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He replied, “Alright, and I’ve brought some Red Flower Oil with me. You may use it later.”

Qi Le’an didn’t quite catch what Wei Changfeng meant. Why did he need to use Red Flower Oil? Would there be any bruise on his body after work?

An hour later, Qi Le’an finally knew what Wei Changfeng meant.

“Keep shooting for the director” was a literal meaning. Whether the director was filming or resting, Qi Le’an had to always shoot! Moreover, the tripod was useless. Qi Le’an had to hold his camera all the way to follow the director!

In just an hour, he felt the muscles on his arm were aching!

When he was able to rest at last at noon, Qi Le’an wanted to cry!

Wei Changfeng took some meals and walked to Qi Le’an’s side. Qi Le’an was then sobbing with the heavy camera hanging on his neck.

Qi Le’an pitifully greeted, “Wei Sama.”

Wei Changfeng opened the meal box. Inside it was some bread, some butter, and a piece of pizza.

“Let Wei Sama feed you, ok?” Wei Changfeng felt fun about the situation.

As there were people around, how could Qi Le’an let Wei Changfeng feed him? He thus said, “I can eat by myself… Look, Vitor is still shooting and recording the director having the meal. I’m much luckier…”

Qi Le’an didn’t take off the camera and held it with his knees to ease the weight on his neck. He sat opposite Wei Changfeng and enjoyed the rare and precious rest.

“How do you feel now?” asked Wei Changfeng.

Qi Le’an had stayed in the crew for half a day now and he experienced Wei Changfeng’s life.

“I’m so busy,” though only a few words, they summarized everything.

Qi Le’an followed Director Spear for the whole morning and then worked with Wei Changfeng for another morning. Wei Changfeng needed to communicate with photographers and actors, so he had to run around the studio.

He hadn’t seen his Wei Sama ever stop for the whole morning.

His arms were still hurting, but he guessed his Wei Sama was probably hurting in the legs.

He looked at Wei Changfeng in pain.

Wei Changfeng said gently, “I’m busy, but I can learn a lot.”

The photographers here were the best, and the actors here were the best, too. Whether working before or behind the scenes, Wei Changfeng could learn a lot from here as an actor or director.

Thinking of this, Qi Le’an clenched his fists and made a cheering move, “Wei Sama! Good luck!”

Wei Changfeng smiled gently.

Looking at Wei Changfeng’s smile, Qi Le’an gradually had an idea.

Since Wei Sama could reap more here, and since Director Spear needed Wei Sama to stay, he should also advise Wei Sama to stay here?

Durable love would always keep on even if the two were not living together.
