I Just Want to Be in a Relationship

Chapter 84: Koi Sect That Swept Whole Weibo (2)

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Early in the morning the next day, Yu Qinghuan was woken up by Yu Xin. Their current location was at least one hour’s journey from Ada. After hastily tidying up, the two men walked out of the door. Just as they were about to go to the hotel to pick up Wang Ruirui, they saw Zhao Rui leading the little girl toward them.

Seeing Yu Xin’s shocked eyes, Zhao Rui tried to explain, “I’ll go with you.”

“All right.” Yu Qinghuan made a pause, and then immediately nodded. With Zhao Rui there, he would not be distracted when shooting. Although Zhao Rui looked rough, he was more careful than anyone in taking care of Wang Ruirui. One hundred of Yu Xin couldn’t compare with one Zhao Rui.

Now the film base was really empty.

The three of them sat on Yu Xin’s shabby second-hand Audi and they drove towards the city in a wobbly way. They did not know that shortly after they left, a large truck driven by a drunk driver overturned on the road outside the gate of the film base, directly pressing on the gas pipeline exposed to the outside because of long years out of repair, causing an explosion of the entire main gas pipeline.

A big fire immediately burned up instantly and rushed into the film base in an unstoppable speed from all directions.

The simple makeshift houses and various props temporarily set up for the shooting were swallowed up in the big and intense fire.

By the time the firefighters arrived, the filming base had already turned into a sea of fire.

The villagers nearby heard a loud explosion and came to see what was going on in twos and threes. When they saw the situation on the spot, they sighed as well as lamented.

“God, how could this happen? The entire cast may not survive, I’m afraid...”

“Yes. A really unexpected disaster! There was a young man in the cast who was really kind-hearted. He stuffed a handful of sugar into my daughter’s hand last time. Alas...”

The media came when they got the news. Hearing these comments, they immediately felt horror. A reporter chose a random villager and asked, “Is the scene of the accident a film team? Was there anyone on the set when the explosion occurred?”

“Yes, I guess.” The man sighed and said, “I don’t know how many people will survive. I heard that the movie will be finished soon. Never expected such a thing to happen...”

The rest also echoed, “Yes, the film crew often ordered lunch boxes from us. The staff inside said that their team was pretty poor. But they never defaulted on our money.”

“Well, it’s all because of lacking of money, so the director made full use of every minute to shoot and never let the actors out. Now I’m afraid they are all over.”

“My daughter once acted as an extra in the movie, saying that their movie was called Orange. It was very touching. My daughter even cried when she knew what the movie said.”

“Well, they ordered food from my sister’s restaurant. My sister said that although their director was stingy, he was really nice. What a pity!”

...

Before the reporters arrived, although they had expected casualties, they did not expect that the entire film crew was in. How many people could there be? They felt numb just thinking about it.

Just now they have learned the specific theme of the movie from the extras who once appeared in Orange.

The theme was about a topic that had been heatedly discussed in recent years: Sexual abuse of children.

There had been more news about the phenomena in recent years. When people first saw the news, they would be very indignant and some even wanted to chemically castrate these “beasts” that raped children. However, nowadays, social media was stuffed with huge news, and people received more information every day. News came and was gradually being forgotten.

At this time, there was an urgent need for a good movie that could uncover the seriousness of this topic and deeply imprint the crisis on every parent’s mind.

However, such a film was often not welcomed in the market. Under such circumstances, it could be seen that the director named Zhao Rui had his own belief and persistence in his heart.

There was also a leading actor named Yu Qinghuan in the cast. Villagers familiar with the crew said that the crew was as poor as the church house and the actors even slept in the shacks on the construction site, so the leading actor definitely did not ask for a high salary.

Young actors who were on the rise would seize every opportunity to shoot something that catered to the market. This one was different, there was even no news about his personal life, but he was working silently for the protection of children.

Because of what the villagers said, the reporters all thought that the film crew of Orange were all in the scene of the accident. With the fire so fierce, the chances for the people inside to survive were extremely slim.

Why couldn’t nice guys get what they deserved? The reporters sighed and rushed to send the news to the Internet. This sad tragedy was the most eye-catching news and could win the sympathy of netizens.

For a while, both the paper media and the network media were full of news about the big explosion, and they all mentioned the unlucky Orange film crew.

Orange started its filming even without a start-up ceremony. Zhao Rui was worrying about the late publicity fee every day. Unexpectedly, the headlines of major social media triggered a huge wave of discussion on the Internet about the film crew and the movie.

“Well, I don’t know what to say. I’ll just say prayers ray for them.”

“Ah! Don’t! I’ve just fall in love with Qinghuan! Yesterday, I just complained that he always had no news, but such news is not what I’ve expecting for. I’m in a panic now. I hope he’s fine.”

“I cried, really. I hope everyone is ok and I will go to the theatre to support the movie when it’s released.”

“This kind of theme is rare in China. I can see that the director is a passionate filmmaker. I wish them all safe and sound.”

“Good actor, good director. Anyway, I will definitely go to the cinema to support this movie. I hope everyone on this set will be safe.
