Chapter 1007: Xiao He: So why is everyone looking at me so strangely?!
A few minutes later, a large group of people and the police who had been summoned looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Wait, are you guys moving that fast?"
Xiao He wanted to facepalm, but then he remembered that he had just reached out and unzipped the suitcase. Although it wasn't filled with the so-called "People's Fragments," it was still disgusting. He decided he couldn't use his hand for the time being, so he forced himself to stop.
"So that's the situation. I'm really sorry."
Assistant director Fan Congwen, who was there to clean up the mess, apologized to the police with great helplessness, while Liu Rulan, who had overheard Xiao He's mutterings, turned around and glared at him.
Xiao He really wanted to protest his innocence.
No, he was just fishing for one fish! Who would have thought?
So he really wasn't suited for fishing.
I'm not fishing anymore, I'll never fish again.
Fishing is an insult to those with bad luck in life.
"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing."
Fortunately, the police officers who arrived after hearing the commotion were quite understanding. They weren't angry about the misunderstanding and instead comforted everyone, saying, "There have always been misunderstandings caused by littering in this area, so you don't need to worry too much."
To be honest, this kind of incident has happened several times in the nearby river basin. The police are also somewhat speechless, but it has been to no avail to remind the relevant environmental protection personnel inside the film studio several times.
Because most film crews shoot here once and then leave, they have to pay for moving their belongings. If they leave things abandoned in the film studio, they will be forced to dispose of them and fined. So many film crews deliberately find outsourcing at low prices or secretly dump the garbage in the surrounding ditches or canals to reduce their burden. Once they leave, the garbage is no longer their responsibility, and even if the relevant management wants to hold them accountable later, it is difficult to find them.
So gradually, film crew garbage accumulates year-round in the gullies surrounding their film studio. During the rainy season or flood season, this garbage is washed out and piled up in the river, greatly increasing the cleaning pressure on local villagers and sanitation workers.
Everyone was somewhat surprised to hear this.
"How could this happen? It's so unethical!" Yuan Sitong blurted out. "The mountain scenery here is so beautiful, how could they bear to destroy it? They're simply insane."
This time, Sister Gua's rant received unanimous approval from everyone.
Xiao He had not expected things to turn out this way.
"Sometimes it's because the production team wants to save costs, so they do this. But sometimes it's not necessarily the production team's request. It might be that after layers of subcontracting, the person who finally gets the money doesn't have much of a kickback to take, so they do this behind the production team's back... This kind of thing can happen to both large and small production teams."
Liu Rulan, standing to the side, rationally analyzed the main reasons why this situation would occur.
"Oh, that's how it is."
The police officer sighed, not wanting to say anything more.
"We understand. Thank you so much for making this trip."
Fan Congwen genuinely hadn't expected their wrap party to cause so much trouble here, and his expression grew increasingly serious. He couldn't help but give the farmhouse owner a cold glance: "Luckily, we didn't catch any fish in the river. I wonder if the fish here are polluted, while the fish in that pond over there..."
Upon hearing this, the owner of the agritainment business immediately panicked and squeezed in to disclaim any involvement: "Our own fishpond is absolutely clean! We didn't use any water from here, so don't worry, our fish are all fine! Mr. Fan, don't worry! I can guarantee that!"
Fan Congwen glanced at his boss but ultimately didn't pursue the matter further.
"I'm sorry, senior brother, I've caused you trouble."
Knowing he had made a mistake, Yan Shaohan apologized to Fan Congwen with some remorse, saying, "I was the one who initially brought everyone here to fish."
Xiao He originally didn't want to come, but he was dragged along by him.
"fine."
Fan Congwen chuckled and shook his head, "We were lucky this time. Fortunately, we already knew, otherwise it wouldn't be good if we continued to fish in the river to eat the fish we caught for the wrap party."
Although Zhuang Hongyi was the executive producer, he left shortly after filming began. In the following days of filming, the main people in charge of the crew were still the mentor-mentee duo of director Yan Shaohan and assistant director Fan Congwen.
However, because Yan Shaohan is relatively young, he has always been worried about Fan Congwen.
He was already used to his somewhat unreliable junior brother.
Seeing Yan Shaohan apologizing, Yuan Sitong, who had also encouraged everyone to come fishing by the river, scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.
She looked away, feeling apologetic, but still stubbornly said, "This kind of thing can't be blamed on us, it's all those guys' fault—so I think their management should be stricter. Once they catch an irresponsible crew like this, they should punish them severely and report it to the entire film studio, so that they can't come here again, and they can't enter any other places either!"
Upon hearing Yuan Sitong's words, the others simply smiled and shook their heads helplessly.
The young lady is thinking too simply. If it could be stopped, it would have been stopped long ago. There's no way they would have a chance to say anything.
However, this matter seems to have nothing to do with their "Yuya".
They're just customers; they know their food is clean and their production crew wouldn't do anything so outrageous.
As for the rest, there's nothing they can do to help!
And so the matter ended simply like that.
The wrap party was held as scheduled, except that this time everyone ate fish from the fishpond and didn't dare to touch the fish from the river.
The party itself was quite enjoyable.
The only thing that puzzled Xiao He was that when the group sat down to eat, the other agents always looked at him with a strange expression.
What happened?
He bit his chopsticks, looking puzzled, not quite understanding why this group of people looked at him with such complex emotions that he couldn't comprehend after his return.
That's strange, he didn't seem to have done anything, did he?
"Oh, maybe they admire you for daring to open the box with your bare hands."
Liu Rulan sat calmly and composed next to him.
However, she couldn't help but glance at Xiao He's hands again: "By the way, you washed your hands when you came back, right?"
It's unbelievable that this guy would dare to touch an unidentified object he fished out of the river with his bare hands.
Xiao He spread his hands: "...That's for sure! And I'm pretty sure that box didn't contain those things, you can smell it right away! Also, why do I feel like not only are they looking at me strangely, but they're looking at you strangely too?"
Liu Rulan: "Cough cough cough."
The agent coughed lightly, trying to appear calm, and said, "They probably think you're a jinx."
She was just an unlucky manager who had to deal with the mess left by her unfortunate client.
Xiao He: "..."
