Fortunately, the crew who came to pick her up at the airport came, scolded a few beggars, and took her into the car.
"Doctors Without Borders" was filmed in the southwest area of the capital.
The crew rented a three-story building near the filming location for the actors and staff to live in.
Because Su Mi arrived early, there was basically no one in this building.
She was placed in a single room on the second floor.
Of course the conditions are not as good as in China, but they are still quite quiet.
After she packed her luggage, it was already dark.
She installed a local calling card from country j on her phone, thought about it, gathered up the courage, and sent a WeChat message to Huo Shenxiu:
[Second uncle, I have arrived in country j safely and everything is fine. Don’t worry. I will take care of myself and will return to my country after filming.]
Then, she waited for Huo Shenxiu's reply.
Ten seconds later, the reply came, a few concise and powerful words:
[Su Mi, you are so brave, you actually dare to knock me out, get back here right now!]
Su Mi knew that he had nothing nice to say.
But I didn't expect to be so violent.
She has already arrived in country j, how can she go back?
She really couldn't figure out why he insisted on stopping her from participating in the filming of this drama.
Is he really just jealous because Nan Ting is the target of his scandal?
She typed the next line: [Second uncle, I won’t tell you anymore, I’m going to read the script. I’ll talk about it when I get back.]
The other party seemed to sense her avoidance, and after a while, she sent a message: [Anyway, do you really want to participate in this drama? 】
She immediately typed one word: [Yes. Even if you come here to take me back now, I will find a way to come back again.]
He said harshly: "Don't regret it."
Su Mi frowned and typed patiently: [I will regret it if I reject this show.]
Huo Shenxiu saw that she had made up her mind and was too lazy to talk nonsense.
Not another word was sent.
Su Mi was so excited that she yawned. She didn't wait for a reply, and she knew that he had nothing to do with her, so she became angry.
That’s all.
Wait until she returns to China to coax him.
…
Early the next morning, the staff asked Su Mi to come downstairs.
She went down to take a look and saw a familiar handsome figure dragging a suitcase into the yard.
When the visitor saw her, he smiled warmly and waved hello:
"Su Mi!"
She couldn't help being surprised:
"Nanting? Why are you here?"
Nan Ting should still be in the country at this moment.
I will come over with other domestic actors at the end of the month.
Nan Ting walked up to her and said with a smile: "Well, come here in advance so that you can familiarize yourself with the environment in Country J and study the script."
The man's eyes were like the sun of country J, shining brightly on Su Mi, causing her face to move unconsciously.
Although Nan Ting said so, she also guessed——
He was probably because she came early.
That's why I followed him.
She must be afraid that she won't be used to being here alone.
She didn't say anything: "Let's go, I'll take you up."
In the next few days, Su Mi stayed with Nan Ting at the photography base, reading scripts, and occasionally wandering around the base to familiarize herself with the environment.
Occasionally, Su Mi would send a few WeChat messages or call Huo Shenxiu at night during domestic time.
But he didn't answer.
During the day, Su Mi was tired from reading the script. Looking at the domestic time at this time, it should be Huo Shenxiu's rest time, so she sent another emoticon.
As expected, there was still no response.
She sent another WeChat message to Han Fei: [Han Fei, is the second master still angry with me? 】
Han Fei's reply came quickly: [The second master has been sullen and silent these days.]
Sure enough, she took a long breath.
This man seems to be really angry this time.
Seeing that she had stopped talking, Han Fei sent another message of comfort: "Don't worry, madam. The second master has always been like this, and he is not necessarily angry with you. Besides, the group has a lot of things to do during this time, so he probably doesn't have time to think about it."
Angry with you.]
Su Mi's eyes moved and she sent a voice message: "There have been a lot of things going on in the group recently? Is it related to Huo Lang joining the group?"
Han Fei did not hide anything from her, and replied: "Well. After Mr. Lang joined the group, he temporarily acted as the director of the operations department. He also joined the board of directors on the recommendation of the old man. He united with many veterans in the group and has been working with him.
The second master fights for power. On many projects, he always goes against the second master."
Su Mi didn't expect Huo Lang to climb so fast.
However, this is also because of Huo Qidong's support.
It seems that Huo Shenxiu has been really busy recently.
I'm afraid I really don't care about her business anymore.
She whispered into the phone: "I understand. If there's anything going on with Second Master, please tell me."
…
Before I knew it, the end of the month was here.
The cast and crew of "Doctors Without Borders" arrived in country j one after another and stayed at the photography base.
The drama has also officially started filming.
In about half a month, Su Mi has become very familiar with the environment here.
In addition to Nan Ting, I also got along well with the other actors in the crew.
It was the first time I went abroad to shoot, and everything went smoothly. However, when Su Mi was having breakfast this morning, she heard something mentioned by several crew members in the restaurant on the first floor.
There is a reactionary force in country j, called the "Cross Team", which has always been at odds with the government of country j.
It has been relatively quiet in recent years, and has been suppressed by the government of country j.
But in the past couple of weeks, it seems to have started to turmoil again.
I heard from the locals that this cross team has been frequently harassing the people of this country recently, either by robbing their homes or by kidnapping and extorting people.
Country J is trying its best to control the situation and arrest members of the Cross Team.
When several people talked about this, they had worried faces on their faces.
In addition to local people, the cross team's targets also harass people traveling or working from abroad.
Especially travelers from wealthier countries.
Kidnap them and use them for ransom to strengthen your team.
The staff were all afraid that the cross team would cause trouble to the crew.
In fact, country j is not a developed country, and the situation has never been very stable.
But it has been relatively quiet these past few years, so the crew chose to shoot here.
I didn't expect such bad luck. As soon as I came here, I encountered it again.
Su Mi listened, lost in thought.
In her previous life, she had never heard that "Doctors Without Borders" encountered danger while filming in country J.
Therefore, it should be fine in this life.
At this moment, a little girl about ten years old came over with a dinner plate and tilted her head at her:
"Sister Mimi, can I sit with you?"
The little girl is also an actor in the crew, Xu Bier, who plays the daughter of one of the protagonists. She has been abroad with her doctor father since she was young.
Xu Bier has been filming TV series since she was five years old and is considered a well-known child star in the industry.
She is even more mature than Su Mi, so she can be regarded as Su Mi’s senior.
Because Xu Bier has rich experience, this is not the first time she has gone abroad to film. Although she is very young, this time she came to country J to film alone with an assistant, without any family around her.
During these days, Su Mi had become very familiar with Xu Bier. When she saw her, she extended her hand kindly: "Of course. Sit down."
Xu Bi'er obviously heard the conversation between the crew and crew. She had a little loss of appetite today. She poked at the vegetable salad twice and became nervous: "Sister Mimi, tell me, will those bad guys come to harass us?"
