Chapter 3 Scrap Copper and Iron

5 o'clock in the morning on November 11th.

Zhou Yang got up.

The first thing I do when I get up is touch the bills in my arms.

When he saw that the bill was still there, he carefully put it into his pocket again and started walking downstairs to prepare for breakfast.

When passing room 302, he paused for a moment, hesitating whether to knock on the door.

In the end, there was no knock on the door.

Director Hong Xiang and assistant director Liu Yi had a meeting all night in Room 302 yesterday and are catching up on their sleep. It doesn't seem right to disturb them early in the morning.

And it’s 5 o’clock!

Basically no one would get up at this hour.

"Good morning, boss!"

"So early?"

"Yeah, I'm used to it."

"Breakfast is freshly made steamed buns and soy milk. It's a bit hot, so be careful when eating."

"OK."

He walked downstairs, said hello to the hotel owner, and then walked into the hotel's breakfast area under the slightly surprised look in his eyes.

Breakfast is not only steamed buns and soy milk, but also porridge and milk bread...

When Zhou Yang saw all this, he felt an indescribable happiness in a daze. Even when he sat on the chair, took a sip of soy milk and felt the soy milk slightly burning his mouth, he still felt a little unreal.

Soy milk burns your mouth, how long ago did that happen?

He had never thought that this soy milk tasted so delicious.

And he found that the buns and bread were very delicious...

He ate two steamed buns, a piece of bread, a bowl of porridge...

He hasn't had breakfast in more than two years.

Why?

To save money.

"Dad, this soy milk is getting worse and worse!"

"Dad, I almost vomited..."

"Let's go out to eat tomorrow..."

"It tastes too bad. What kind of buns are these? Ahhhhhh, I won't eat them..."

"..."

Just when Zhou Yang had finished eating everything, and even felt a little unfinished, he heard the sound of a plate falling to the ground.

He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with a big belly and a child. The child just threw the bun on the ground and stepped on it as hard as he could to vent his anger.

The potbellied middle-aged man smiled helplessly at the side, but had no intention of stopping him.

Zhou Yang looked at the meat fillings and the flattened bun wrappers on the ground.

His throat trembled slightly, and he couldn't control his emotions and felt a little unreasonably angry.

The food he had been reluctant to eat for two years was thrown to the ground like this...

This seems to be a kind of trampling!

but……

After all, he didn't show it and just sat quietly.

After the father and son left, he took a broom and cleaned the food carefully. After cleaning, he left the breakfast area.

……………………

The rising sun in the morning is always so beautiful.

It is very gentle and gives people a feeling of light and warmth no matter what time it is.

It often allows people in depression to draw a little bit of the power called hope.

Zhou Yang, who was unloading photographic equipment from the van, saw the rising sun.

He felt happy for no reason.

The two directors did not arrange any work for Zhou Yang, but Zhou Yang always felt that as a member of the crew, he should do something, and according to the agreement, he had the responsibility to repair the equipment.

so……

He began to pick up the bill in his arms and inspect the equipment in the crew.

Camera, lens, tripod, cold light source, warm light source, control bracket, recording microphone...

He found that not only everything in the bill was broken, but even the things outside the bill were broken, and they were completely broken.

Nothing in photographic equipment is intact.

Zhou Yang fell into deep thought.

How long does it take to repair these things?

However, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. After Zhou Yang's initial headache, he began to seriously plan his repair plan.

His major is electronic information technology engineering. This major covers a wide range of things, including welding circuit boards, high-frequency welding, wiring inspection, and programming...

Of course he can look at the circuit board.

He picked up the Sony professional video camera, lowered his head, and began to silently observe the circuit diagram next to him.

……………………

noon.

Liu Yi and Hong Xiang were awakened by a phone call in their sleep.

There was a nice voice on the other end of the phone.

Hong Xiang was dealing with it very seriously.

"We have contacted Han Chong, and he will probably join the crew today..."

"Yes, I know..."

"Don't worry, boss, I'm from a serious academic background and won't lie to others. I'll send Han Chong's contract over later..."

"The agent confirmed it. I have a recording here. Well, let me take a video for you in the afternoon..."

"..."

After making the phone call, director Hong Xiang stretched himself and said softly, "It's done."

"Brother, what should we do about Han Chong?"

"What should I do? Han Chong is not a big star. It's not easy to spend 100,000 yuan to get him to come over and take a photo. Record a video? Invite some third- and fourth-tier stars, get them to come and stand on the stage, and then get the investment from those

If the businessman can get an investment of two million, isn’t it easy to get it?”

"But, what about the crew? Just the two of us?"

"Let's try to find a way to recruit some extras and do a whole show, how stupid!"

"Where?"

"Isn't it everywhere in this small town? It seems that if you want to talk, just pull it over here and lift the platform directly. After the platform is lifted, won't everything be stable?"

"Well, okay."

"By the way, let's wake up this unfortunate guy Zhou Yang. These shooting equipments are so heavy that I can just ask him to help carry them... I'll find a hidden place to set them up later... By the way, how many more purchases are needed?

It’s best to spray the tent with our company’s LOGO, so that it will be more expressive…”

"Okay!" Assistant Director Liu Yi nodded, and then smiled slyly, "By the way, brother... Are there any around here, what about..."

"What?"

"It's the kind, the happy kind. Well, it's a foot bath shop, or a massage parlor, or a shampoo room... I'm a little angry lately, and I want to calm down the anger..." Deputy Director Liu Yi chuckled, as if

It's like recalling some beautiful things, and I feel a little excited...

"I can't help but kill you. When I get the money, I will take you to a good place!"

"Cough, cough, I like the kind with glasses..."

"Okay, okay, hurry up and get to work!"

"Okay!"

Liu Yi smiled so hard that his eyes crinkled, but after leaving the room, he put on his eyes again and knocked on the door of Zhou Yang's room with a very polite look.

"Xiao Zhou, wake up!"

"Xiao Zhou!"

"Xiao Zhou?"

"..."

After knocking for a long time and hearing no response from anyone inside, he kicked the door immediately.

The door opens...

Empty.

"What's wrong?" Hong Xiang came over after hearing the news.

"This unfortunate guy is not in the room!" Liu Yi's eyes widened.

"Where are you going?" Hong Xiang was a little confused, and then subconsciously glanced at the window next to him. When he saw that the van had disappeared, he broke into a cold sweat. "Where is our van! Wait, this guy looks like

Could someone who was so poor have driven away our van and sold our photographic equipment as scrap metal?"

"Grass!"

When Liu Yi heard this, his face turned pale with shock, and he followed Hong Xiang and ran downstairs in his slippers.

"I just said you can't have this unfortunate guy. He looks so honest, but he turns out to be a wolf!" Director Hong Xiang ran downstairs, and when he saw the empty parking lot, he immediately started cursing.

"Fuck! What should we do now? Otherwise, let's call the police!"

"I'll repay you, sir. Do you want to be imprisoned yourself?"

"Then let's..."

"try to find!"

"..."

"..."

The director and assistant director searched for a long time and finally learned from the boss that Zhou Yang was counting equipment early in the morning.

After counting, all the equipment was carried back.

After that, I asked some inexplicable places, such as parts stores, screw shops, and even the locations of garbage recycling stations and repair shops. I even asked the boss to borrow a thousand yuan in the name of the crew!

When he saw the IOU, especially the words on it, director Hong Xiang instantly felt that the world was spinning!

This idiot, not to mention selling equipment, actually made a fortune of 1,000 yuan before leaving?

……………………

The sunset dyed the sky red.

Like blood.

Standing under the sunset, it is inevitable that one will feel a touch of sadness.

There were constant quarrels in Room 302, and at one point there was even the sound of tables and chairs being smashed.

Every time the boss knocked on the door and went in, he would see Hong Xiang staring at him ferociously, as if he wanted to devour him.

"We will compensate you!"

"..."

By the evening, the quarreling and fighting finally stopped a little.

The knock on the door rang again.

"Didn't I fucking say I would pay compensation? Are you numb, you... Zhou, Xiao Zhou?"

"Brother... well, the camera circuit board is a bit difficult to repair, but I have repaired the warm light equipment. How about you give it a try?"

"..."

Time seems to have condensed.

Hong Xiang's ferocious expression became unbelievable.

Disbelief turned to shock...

When he saw the warm light equipment lights turn on, he began to feel at a loss again.
