In addition, the tour guide was worried that Lin Mai's belly would grow during filming, which would affect her image on the screen, so the filming pace was faster.
In order not to affect the filming progress, Ren Baozhu directly sent several staff members to fly the costumes and accessories needed by the crew to Fujian, and then the tour guide sent people from Fujian to Xiamen.
Lin Mai and Shen Yun arrived in Xiamen and only rested for one day before starting filming.
Fortunately, it is an artistic film, so it was easy to shoot.
In addition, Lin Mai is a natural actor, and every shot is done in one shot, which makes it even easier.
Lin Mai and Shen Yun are both from the south, and they speak softly.
Both of them have very good temperaments and are well dressed. After two days of filming, no one knew they were from the Mainland.
The main reason is that the Baodao authorities are very good at manipulating public opinion.
So many people in Baodao think that the mainland is so poor that they can't even afford tea eggs, and if they want to eat meat, they have to catch field mice.
There is no way the Baodao actors and staff on the set would associate Lin Mai and Shen Yun with the word "poor".
I thought they were from Xiamen, but I never thought they were from the mainland.
It wasn't until Aunt Tu arrived that the actors and staff of the crew had doubts about where Lin Mai and Shen Yun came from.
The first person to doubt them was the second female lead, Yao Junyi.
She is the most unfriendly person to Lin Mai in the whole crew.
It was just that the tour guide had informed the entire crew that Lin Mai was pregnant and everyone had to take care of her, so she didn't dare to act rashly.
But when he spoke to Lin Mai, his words always seemed a bit strange.
When everyone was eating lunch together at noon, Yao Junyi deliberately asked Lin Mai in front of everyone: "Did you go to the mainland to hire a life assistant to save money? Her Beijing accent is really ugly!"
When Aunt Tu didn't come, Lin Mai followed the crew to pack lunch and eat whatever they had.
Aunt Tu is here. Even if Lin Mai wants to eat lunch with the crew, Aunt Tu won't agree.
Before noon, Aunt Tu went to the most famous hotel in Xiamen and ordered several nutritious but expensive dishes and packed them back.
When he saw Lin Mai, he said: "Mai Zi, I bought you the signature dish of the most famous hotel in Xiamen.
There are Buddha jumping over the wall, medicated squab, and poplar nectar. Try it and see if you like it."
Yao Junyi, who had just laughed at Lin Maiqiong and hired a mainland assistant to save money, opened his eyes in disbelief when he heard the name of the big hotel and the name of the dish ordered by Aunt Tu.
She couldn't even afford that famous hotel, but Lin Mai could afford it. What was her background?
Lin Mai waved his hand at Aunt Tu: "I don't want to eat poplar nectar, just give me the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and the Medicinal Pigeon."
Aunt Tu put the two dishes of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall and Herbal Pigeon on her folding small dining table, and said regretfully: "Yangzhi Manna is so expensive, but you don't eat it~"
Lin Mai scooped up a quail egg from Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and ate it, and then said to Yao Junyi unhurriedly: "I am from the mainland, so I won't ask the life assistant from the mainland to treat you, okay?"
At this point, she sneered: "This is the first time I've ever heard someone say that the Beijing accent is ugly. Even the president of the United States doesn't dare to say that.
If you can't curl your tongue well and pronounce the sound "erhua", please don't show off your incompetence, okay?"
When Yao Junyi heard that Lin Mai was from the mainland, he immediately felt that he was noble and extraordinary.
He looked at her condescendingly and said, "So you are from the mainland.
You are so poor, but you still want to pretend to be fat and ask your life assistant to go to such an expensive hotel to order food.
He also said that he wants to hire me as a life assistant, can you afford it?"
Lin Mai glanced at her with a half-smile.
Seeing the tour guide coming over after eating, Lin Mai waved to him: "Tour guide, could you please come over here."
The tour guide quickly walked over and asked, "Can you see me if you need something?"
Lin Mai pointed at Yao Junyi with the small spoon in his hand, and said in a calm but indifferent tone: "Change the second female lead to me."
Yao Junyi was stunned for a moment, then said disdainfully: "Who do you think you are? Are you qualified to replace me?"
The tour guide’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he yelled at him: “Shut up!
Ms. Lin is an investor in our film studio, do you think she is qualified to replace you?"
Not only Yao Junyi, but also other Baodao actors and staff were all shocked.
They never expected that the investor of this movie was actually a mainland girl.
Many people were secretly glad that they had not offended this mainland girl, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
But Yao Junyi didn't believe it at all: "She said she was an investor. How could a mainland girl have money to invest?"
Lin Mai slowly ate the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. Hearing this, he chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, the mainland is so poor. Those who can afford Fuling mustard, tea eggs and field mouse meat are all rich people."
I can't afford these three things, so I can only eat Buddha Jumping Over the Wall and medicated pigeon, so naturally I have no money to invest."
When Shen Yun saw that Yao Junyi looked down on them, the mainlanders, she was already angry.
Deliberately pretending to be powerful, he put pressure on the tour guide: "You heard what the second female said, she offended our Mr. Lin.
If you don’t replace her, we, Mr. Lin, will withdraw our investment immediately!”
The tour guide looked at Lin Mai in embarrassment.
After Lin Mai finished drinking, he jumped over the wall and ate squab again.
She raised her eyes and glanced at the tour guide: "Don't look at me, Shen Yun means what I mean."
Seeing that there was no room for change, the tour guide had no choice but to let Yao Junyi pack up and leave.
Only then did Yao Junyi realize that he had been kicked onto an iron plate, and his regret was beyond words.
She was so flexible that she knelt down on the ground in front of the whole crew and begged Lin Mai to forgive her for being blind and looking down on others.
Lin Mai said calmly: "What should I do? I am a very cautious person and I never forgive others easily."
The tour guide interceded for Yao Junyi: "Ms. Lin, every actor in this drama was carefully selected by me.
I'm afraid that changing the second female lead will affect the effect of the entire drama.
If the effect is not good, it will affect the box office and your dividends as an investor."
Lin Mai said nonchalantly: "Although we mainlanders are poor, I can still afford to lose these small sums of money."
The tour guide also wanted to try harder: "If we don't lose money, let's not lose money, okay?"
Miss Yao is very popular in Baodao. If I replace her, I'm afraid I will lose the market in Baodao."
Lin Mai sneered: "When I invested in this movie, I never took into account the Baodao market.
In that tiny place, no matter how high the box office is, you can't make much money.
If you want to make money, you still have to look at the mainland market, tour guide, don’t you think so?”
The tour guide smacked his lips and was speechless.
Because everything Lin Mai said was the truth. The market in mainland China is really big. Although he is poor, the money is much easier to earn than the money in Baodao.
Otherwise, Hong Kong and Taiwan's film and television companies wouldn't be thinking too hard about entering the mainland market.
The tour guide gave Yao Junyi a helpless look.
In the end, Yao Junyi had no choice but to pack up and leave crying.
The tour guide hurriedly called a Taiwanese female artist Jianghu to come to the rescue and replace Yao Junyi.
The female artist arrived in Xiamen the next day.
She had already heard about Yao Junyi's expulsion from the crew.
When she arrived on the set, she was filming honestly. When she saw Lin Mai, she nodded and bowed, not daring to offend her at all.
Not only the female artist was like this, but also other Baodao actors and staff on the crew were like this.
They used to think that Lin Mai was easy to talk to and had a soft and sweet personality.
But ever since I saw her thunderous tactics and mercilessly kicked Yao Junyi out of the crew, I knew she was a ruthless character.
The softness she used to have was not because she was weak, but because she was too lazy to argue with them about trivial matters like sesame seeds and mung beans.
If she gets serious about it, no one can stand it.
It only took twenty days, and the whole movie was shot in a calm atmosphere.
On the final day, Lin Mai invited everyone on the crew to have a final dinner together.
Everyone thought that she would order a large table of dishes to prove that she was rich. Unexpectedly, the dishes she ordered were quite satisfactory, not particularly good, but not bad at all.
Lin Mai, a person who has lived two lives again, will never waste money just to prove herself. As for others talking about her behind her back, she doesn't care at all.
