I don't know why Annie became a bit agitated all of a sudden, but I answered on my own, "it depends
on the situation. If someone is willing to hide in the underworld regardless of the bustle of the city, he
won't be that."
"What if he is unwilling?"
"It's hard to say if he doesn't want to or is forced to do. But if he is free, it's better. But if he misses
someone at home, it's hard to say."
Annie's face darkened as she remained silent.
"What's wrong with you, Annie? Do you feel uncomfortable? "
Annie who asked me something suddenly lost her mind.
"Annie? Annie?"
"Ah, let's go to sleep."
Annie refused to say more and crawled into her bed, back to me.
I turned off the light when I saw Annie like that.
The room became so quiet that I could hear our breath clearly.
A few minutes later, when I thought Annie was asleep, she suddenly said, "We are out of town and we
are difficult to go outside. If some men got out of the bar successfully, the rest of them are incompetent.
Few women of that age are capable and men aren't able to get married."
In fact, I noticed during today's shooting that it was difficult to find the young villagers who came out to
help the play in the village. Except the children, there were almost no any young girls and guys under
forty years old.
"If the road is repaired, maybe it'll be fine."
"Even if we build a road here, it can't change the fact that our place is poverty and behindhand. At that
time, I'm afraid that the road in the city will be broader and wider."
I have a strong feeling that there must be something in Annie's heart.
Then I began to guess whether it was because the man that Annie loved left this place many years ago
and never came back.
But all of a sudden, Annie asked me a weirder question, "Have you heard of buying a wife?"
"I heard that, but most of what I heard about is illegal."
"Does it break the law to buy a wife," Annie asked
"If the girl didn't want to, it would have broken the law. There are many human traffickers who abduct
and traffic women to remote areas."
"In that case, it should accuse human traffickers and have nothing to do with the person who buys a
wife, right?"
"Since it's a business, both of sides must be involved in. It's illegal."
"Will it be sentenced?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know much about law. Maybe it depends on different cases. But I
know a lawyer and a police. If you really want to know, I can ask them for you."
"You don't have to. I'll just ask it casually."
Annie turned around and said nothing, It was late and I felt sleepy, so I fell asleep without thinking
more.
In the following days, I acted as usual. I acted as a substitute twice every day. Although the shooting
conditions were tough, the process was smooth.
I thought my time of NG was fewer than others. The number of staff who have spoken to me, chatted
with me and greeted me was growing.
Max even took me with him when he was chatting with other people in the yard without shooting.
I got more and more like of this group. The atmosphere was very harmonious. I liked it because
everyone worked seriously at the work time and relaxed at the relaxed time.
But Annie didn't ask me about those strange questions again. She used to be cheerful, but she was
always overwhelmed by sadness.
I was a little worried, but I was too embarrassed to ask.
Days like this continued more than a month. One day, when I finished a scene, director Max came to
talk to me.
"Jasmine, how long have you been working here?"
"One month and ten days," I replied Max after thinking for a while
"All of us are fond of you these days. Do you know why?"
"Yes, everyone is getting along well with each other. They have to take care of me as a new comer in
the group."
Max smiled, "It's because you are modest and secure. Although you don't have much experience, you
study hard and like to think. After so many days of filming, you have the least chance of NG and you
can easily take yourself and the outsiders into the play. It seems that you are suitable for this work, and
you will be very potential in the future."
It's rare to hear a director praise of me. I'm happy and this recognition is the best encouragement for
me.
"Thank you for your praise, director Max."
Max compressed his lips and smiled, "You're welcome. I'm telling the truth. If it wasn't for attracting
more people to see this drama and the contract with Amy, I would like to adopt you even if you are a
new one in this field."
"Oh, director Max, you are flattering me. I am just an unknown newcomer. How can I compare with
Amy in terms of acting skills and appearance?"
"You don't have to belittle yourself. Some people are famous, but they may not really have the
capability. Otherwise, there won't be any idol sect or strength sect."
It's the first time director Max talked so much to me and I think this is not the point he wants to say.
"Jasmine, the parts of you this time have almost finished. Amy will be here tonight. She will have the
rest of the drama from tomorrow."
"Well, I see. If there is nothing else, I will go back tomorrow."
I didn't want to make director Max feel embarrassed, so I proposed to leave. In fact, a big director like
him didn't have to care about my feelings at all.
"Don't worry. You can stay in the group for two more days. You can take this opportunity to learn how
Amy interprets the role. Besides, it won't do any harm to you by learning more."
"I'm afraid I'll cause some trouble to the group. I'll stay here for one day and see if there's anything I
can do for you. I'll leave early the day after tomorrow."
"Well, you've been out for a long time, and it's time for you to miss home. At that time, you can ask
Cole to drive you home," Max continued, nodding
After that, Max turned around and left.
At lunch time, Daniel asked, "What did director Max say to you? That long? "
"He said Amy would be here tonight."
After a short pause, Daniel continued, "It is time for her to show up. Otherwise, we can't continue the
act. The heroine can't only have two sides or two backs."
"Well, I'll leave in the morning the day after tomorrow. I think I'll get up early and leave. So I won't say
goodbye to you. I've had a good time with you these days. Thank you for your advice. "
Daniel looked at me and said, "You got fewer NG than me. How could it say that I gave you
suggestions? You have filmed many grand scenes in one go, and you are really excellent. To be
honest, I'm willing to play with you and you can easily draw me into the play. When I cooperate with
each other before, at the beginning, I have to get emotional frequently. It seems that I don't need to be
bothered by the drama playing with you."
