Due to proper planning, Gu Jinrong's temporary injury did not have much impact on the crew's filming.
In ten consecutive days, all indoor scenes in the village were successfully filmed.
Gu Jinrong's leg injury has also recovered halfway. From the beginning, she could only sit in a wheelchair, but now she can take two steps with crutches.
These days, Shen Qingzhi is the one who works the hardest.
During the day, she had to read the newly revised script while filming, and at night she had to personally take care of the injured.
Originally, Xiao Ling, as Gu Jinrong's assistant, expressed willingness to set up a bed in the living room for convenient close care of her boss.
However, before she could finish her words, she received a unanimous rejection from both of them.
The reason is that the room is too small and the three people will be too crowded, which is not conducive to rehabilitation training for the injured.
Xiao Ling:?
Rehabilitation training does not necessarily have to be done indoors.
She looked at the two people's eyes that showed rejection and finally decided to back down.
It's not that she doesn't want to fulfill her duties to her boss, it's that her boss doesn't give her this opportunity.
So these days, Shen Qingzhi started working part-time as a nurse for the first time and was often used as Gu Jinrong's crutch.
She had no experience in caring for injured patients before, so she didn't know if people would become particularly fragile and clingy once they were injured like this...
"Qingqing, I want to eat an apple."
"Qingqing, I want to go to the living room to watch TV for a while. Please help me."
"Qingqing, I don't want to watch TV now. I want to go back to the bedroom and sit."
"Qingqing..."
At first, Shen Qingzhi thought that Gu Jinrong's injury was somewhat because of her, so she was patient.
But after being pestered for a while, she couldn't help but get annoyed.
She clicked on the phone screen and looked at the time, and the hair on her head raised in anger.
"In just less than an hour, you have called me six times, even a ghost wouldn't call me like this!"
"I remember when you were not injured before, you could still sit by yourself for hours. Why is it that now that your leg is injured, it looks like you have ADHD?"
Seeing that Shen Qingzhi was angry, Gu Jinrong tried to get up from the sofa to comfort her. However, she hadn't steadied herself and fell back, looking very pitiful.
Seeing this, Shen Qingzhi felt guilty in her heart, so she could only step forward to stabilize the person and say helplessly: "Where do you want to go again?"
Taking advantage of her current injury, Gu Jinrong leaned on Shen Qingzhi's arm and spoke more softly than usual.
"I know that I have been causing trouble to you these days. In fact, I just want to move around more so that I can get better sooner."
"If Qingqing really finds me annoying, you can send me to Xiao Ling and let her take care of me."
Shen Qingzhi immediately objected, "How is that possible?"
Xiao Ling's room was already crowded with three people, and sending the leading actress there and having her squeeze into a common bed was not something Shen Qingzhi felt comfortable with.
Seeing Gu Jinrong's troubled look, she sighed, "Okay, okay, I'll handle it. So, what do you want to do now?"
Gu Jinrong immediately relaxed her brows and said, "I want to go see Xiao Hei in the next yard.
Ah, it's really annoying.
Not only did Shen Qingzhi accompany Gu Jinrong to see Xiao Hei, but she also walked around the village with the dog for quite a while.
Can you imagine the scene? Shen Qingzhi supported a person with a leg injury with her right hand and held a dog leash with her left hand. The two of them, along with the dog, walked along the rural path, creating a strange but harmonious sight.
The people in the village were no longer surprised by Shen Qingzhi helping Gu Jinrong go for a walk.
After spending some time together, they became somewhat familiar with them and were extremely enthusiastic. Of course, seven to eight points of this enthusiasm were directed at Gu Jinrong.
The villagers didn't watch many movies, so they didn't have a strong sense of Gu Jinrong's fame.
They just think that this city girl is not only beautiful and has a good temper, but she is injured now, which is very pitiful.
"Girls, you're out for a walk again. Are you tired? Why don't you come here and sit for a while?"
"You two girls have such a good relationship. I've seen you both come out together several times. Unlike my two girls, they always quarrel."
"Girls, these are freshly roasted peanuts from our home. Would you like to taste some?"

This is also why Shen Qingzhi doesn't like going for walks with Gu Jinrong. Every time they go to a crowded place, it feels like she's on a catwalk.
She used to be isolated on the set and occasionally felt a bit envious of colleagues who were being adored by the public.
Now that she was following Gu Jinrong, she suddenly felt that it was actually good to be isolated sometimes.
Gu Jinrong spent a lot of effort to decline everyone's enthusiasm and kindness and returned to the house with Shen Qingzhi.
Shen Qingzhi placed the person on the sofa and became paralyzed from exhaustion.
"Qingqing, do you want me to massage and relax you?" Someone with an injury on her leg was in good spirits at this time.
"No, please let me rest for a while." Shen Qingzhi did not dare to trouble the injured patient anymore, she was afraid that the other party would ask her to pay back double the amount later.
Two days ago, she was greedy and agreed to let Gu Jinrong make breakfast for her. However, due to Gu Jinrong's limited mobility, Shen Qingzhi had to stand in the kitchen the entire time, serving as a human crutch.
Gu Jinrong saw through Shen Qingzhi's thoughts and put her hands on those thin shoulders, "Don't worry, I promise you will be comfortable this time and you won't be tired again."
"No, it's annoying." Shen Qingzhi refused, but she didn't move even an inch. She even let out a comfortable sigh when Gu Jinrong's palm slid to her shoulder blade.
The two seemed to have a tacit understanding on this matter. Gu Jinrong didn't need to ask Shen Qingzhi how she felt, she knew everything just by observing her reaction.
Shen Qingzhi turned sideways and exposed her entire back to Gu Jinrong.
While enjoying the massage, she muttered, "I've noticed that you seem to like being surrounded by people, so why do I rarely see you at events? After returning to China, have you only attended the Starlight Awards?"
Gu Jinrong pressed her thumb across the spine of Shen Qingzhi's back, and heard a soft hum as she wished, before replying:
"Actually, I don't like crowds. I just cherish all sincere gazes."
"Sincere gazes?"
Shen Qingzhi tilted her head and said in confusion: "So you don't participate in activities very much because you feel that those people's gazes surrounding you aren't sincere enough?"
Gu Jinrong asked instead, "What do you think?"
Shen Qingzhi was speechless. In those commercial activities, both reporters and hosts were performing their respective duties. Getting the job done day after day, they face countless celebrities. One point of love can be exaggerated to ten points. It is good if they are dedicated to their work. Why do others need them to be sincere?
Gu Jinrong saw that Shen Qingzhi remained silent, continued to move her hands slowly on her back, talking to herself.
"Actually, when it came to choosing the location for the village scenes in the drama, the production team had two options, and they finally settled on this place. Besides environmental factors, there was another important reason."
"What's the reason?" Shen Qingzhi listened to Gu Jinrong's deliberate pause and played along with her.
"This place is far from the town, information is relatively underdeveloped, and most of the local people don't know us." Gu Jinrong said. As she spoke, his fingers slowly moved to Shen Qingzhi's tailbone.
"Ah~" Shen Qingzhi jolted, turned over, and sneered "Heh, so the international movie queen is afraid of being recognized?"
Gu Jinrong took advantage of the situation and held Shen Qingzhi's waist, rubbing her thumbs through the fabric, but her expression remained serious.
"There's nothing to be afraid of, really. It's just that most people now see 'Movie Queen Gu' not 'Gu Jinrong the person'."
Shen Qingzhi pressed the mischievous hand on her waist and was a bit puzzled. "Isn't that…both you?"
Gu Jinrong was held down on one hand, so she had to use the other to trace Shen Qingzhi's ticklish flesh.
"Not entirely. I actually entered the entertainment industry somewhat by chance. In the beginning, I was alone in M Country, in a completely unfamiliar circle, and I was quite anxious..."
This was the first time that Gu Jinrong took the initiative to mention her years abroad. Shen Qingzhi sat upright without realizing it, and she didn't even notice that someone's bad fingers were playing "Doremi" on her body.
She was about to listen more, but Gu Jinrong quickly wrapped up the topic with a few sentences.
"Back then, in the eyes of the people in M Country, I was like an outsider, not as popular as I am now. It wasn't until later when I played the female lead and won a few awards, that people's attitudes gradually changed."
Gu Jinrong spoke about it casually, but Shen Qingzhi, who had experienced something similar, could easily relate, at least to the first part of her experience.
When you are in a low place, only a few people will look at you.
When you get used to being ignored, and suddenly feel the warmth of people around you, you will even doubt whether it is true or false.
"Actually, in my eyes, you have always been Gu Jinrong, not Queen Gu or Senior Gu." Shen Qingzhi raised her head, her eyes burning with emotion.
"Hm?" Gu Jinrong looked at her with a smile on her lips, but she acted like she didn't seem to hear clearly.
"I mean, you are who you are, no matter what career you are in, whether you achieve success or not, you are always a bad guy, a black-hearted, disgusting person!"
Shen Qingzhi accidentally spoke the truth.
Really, she obviously heard it clearly just now, but she pretended to let people say it again, saying that she has a black heart. She isn't wrong at all
"Qingqing, thank you, I'm very happy." Gu Jinrong's emotions were visibly lifted at this moment, and even the fingers playing notes on the person's body had a bit more cheerfulness.
Tch~ Still so happy after being scolded.
Shen Qingzhi uncomfortably twisted her waist. "Can you please be honest and stop tickling me?"
Instead of stopping, Gu Jinrong intensified her actions, "I'm not deliberately teasing you, I'm helping you adapt."
"Adapt to what?"
"Adapt to tomorrow's indoor scenes. Director Xue reminded you before, it has a more intense scale, do you remember?"
"Huh?" Shen Qingzhi thought about it carefully. Director Xue seemed to have said this before. It had been almost ten days, and she almost forgot about it.
Seeing Shen Qingzhi's distracted look, Gu Jinrong increased her force as if to punish her: "Tomorrow's script, have you seen it yet?"
"I read it a long time ago. The two of them are either recovering from injuries or chatting indoors." Shen Qingzhi covered the sore spot where she had been pressed and kept her distance from Gu Jinrong.
"Please take a look at the script again, the latest one."
Gu Jinrong kindly reminded her.
Shen Qingzhi got up and went to the bedroom. When she returned, she had a cleaner script in her hand.
With Gu Jinrong's help, she flipped to the relevant section, and when she read the description, her eyes almost popped out of her head.
"No, I've read the entire script outline before, but there are no details like this!"
You said it yourself, what you read before was the outline."
