Qin Wei took a short break and, seeing that it was almost time for the gathering, she put on her bag and went downstairs to the lobby. As she walked to the corner of the staircase, she overheard Liu Xin complaining downstairs. The guest room manager and the director were in the midst of coordinating something.
"The room is so close to the river, with little sunlight and a damp and gloomy atmosphere. It's simply uninhabitable."
Although Qin Wei couldn't see Liu Xin's expression at the moment, she could imagine it fairly well.
Liu Xin was staying in the room next to hers, but she was clearly dissatisfied with it. It made Qin Wei start to doubt herself, thinking, "Isn't it fine? Am I setting my expectations too low?"
The guest room manager kept apologizing, but all the rooms were occupied, and there was no other way except to exchange with someone else.
At the moment, they were not filming, and the director was working hard to coordinate.
Qin Wei thought for a moment and decided to go back and wait a while before coming down again. She didn't want to get involved in any unnecessary conflicts.
As she took a step back, she bumped into someone. When she turned around, it was Qiao Sixiao.
Qiao, with a cold and indifferent expression, was still clearly upset.
Qin Wei swallowed nervously. She was in a state of not being able to go down but not knowing how to go up, and her hands were trembling with nervousness.
She really didn't want to get involved in any disputes.
Qiao Sixiao frowned but didn't say much and went downstairs.
"Otherwise, I can stay next door. The room next to it has more sunlight and is less damp."
Liu Xin probably also felt that it was not good to continue this stalemate, so she proposed her own condition.
However, the room types were different, so it wasn't easy to switch.
"I'll switch with you."
Qiao Sixiao went downstairs, and Liu Xin looked up at her and immediately softened her previously sharp expression. She took the initiative to say to Qiao Sixiao, "Teacher Qiao has also come down."
Qiao Sixiao nodded and pointed at her own room, saying, "Mine is not damp. You can go and stay there."
Her room was, of course, not damp. While everyone else was staying on the second and third floors, she was the only one on the fourth floor, in a suite, the best room in the entire inn, with a wide view and the highest specifications.
Liu Xin naturally knew that she didn't deserve to stay in that room compared to Qiao Sixiao, although she understood that the other party was probably just being polite.
But she was also happy about Qiao Sixiao's concern, so she said, "It's alright, Teacher Qiao. You don't need to worry about such a small matter. I'll discuss it with the girl in the room next door later. It's not that I'm being picky, but it's mainly because I had a leg injury when I was filming in my early years. I'll feel uncomfortable in a damp and cold environment, and I'm afraid it will affect the shooting... I think the girl in the next room will understand."
Qiao Sixiao remained calm and placed the key on the table. "The room next to you is a double room, and yours is a king-size bed room. After switching, are you going to let two people sleep together? How will you sleep?"
"My suitcase hasn't been unpacked yet. Just have the room service staff bring it to your room."
It seemed that the other party genuinely wanted to help her, so Liu Xin no longer refused and said to Qiao Sixiao, "Thank you, Teacher Qiao. I hope we have the opportunity to collaborate in the future."
Qiao Sixiao ignored her and left first.
When she arrived, she came with everyone else, but the production team quickly arranged a separate car for her.
Qin Wei only came out of her room when Sun Tiantian and Youyou passed by, chatting and laughing. She pretended as if nothing had happened and went downstairs to join them.
As everyone gathered, the convoy set off on their journey. Just like before, Gu Minghua, Qin Wei, and Youyou were seated together in one car. As a mentor, Gu Minghua had the privilege of using his own phone, so he took the opportunity to browse through some related information during the break. Along the way, he informed them that they were heading to a famous local flower field.
"Although we haven't reached the peak blooming season yet, based on what I've seen online, I think we can still look forward to it," Gu Minghua said.
Qin Wei wanted to see pictures, but Gu Minghua insisted on not showing her, stating that he didn't want to deprive her of the surprise.
In plain terms, he didn't want to spoil it for her.
Qin Wei didn't insist, and upon reaching their destination, she couldn't help but marvel at the magnificent beauty of nature.
The field of flowers stretched as far as the eye could see, seemingly extending to the horizon.
Everywhere they looked, there were flower buds, and even though most of them hadn't fully bloomed yet, it was still a spectacular sight.
In the face of such beauty, it was hard to imagine how thousands of flowers blooming simultaneously would look like.
Compared to the various natural wonders, human imagination was limited. Only by witnessing it with their own eyes could they truly realize how shallow their understanding of beauty was.
Coupled with the thin mist in the air, every breath they took felt clean and refreshing, bringing a sense of tranquility to their body and mind.
Everything was just as Qin Wei desired!
"It's so beautiful!" exclaimed Sun Tiantian, who had gotten off the car behind them.
"Gu Lao Shi, Gu Lao Shi, could you please take a picture of the three of us?" Youyou handed the camera to Gu Minghua, taking advantage of the moment when not everyone had arrived yet. She held Sun Tiantian with one hand and Qin Wei with the other, intending to capture the moment, but then suddenly realized that it wasn't appropriate for her to be in the middle. She was about to switch places with Qin Wei when Qin Wei stopped her.
"No need to be so particular, let's just take it like this," Qin Wei said.
Qin Wei didn't mind, and so did Youyou. The three of them leaned against the vast flower field, with the blue sky and white clouds as their backdrop, and took a photo together.
Today was originally a free activity with the production team only arranging for cameramen to follow and capture the moments. No specific tasks were assigned. The main purpose was for them to experience the beauty of nature and discover its wonders from their own perspectives.
Within the flower field, there were crisscrossing paths, and most people were walking along them, taking pictures. After Qin Wei and the two mischief-makers walked a bit, they found a spot to sit down.
"Click!"
Familiar camera sound. Qin Wei was particularly sensitive to this sound and turned her head to see Gu Minghua standing not far away, taking a photo of her.
Seeing that she was looking at him, Gu Minghua waved and smiled at her.
"I'm sure many people have told you that you're beautiful! Now I believe it. Look, with just a casual snap, it's like a painting," Gu Minghua said, walking over and handing her the camera.
"Youyou didn't know where she went. She forgot that the camera was still in my hands."
Qin Wei took a glance at it. In the photo, she was tilting her head back with her eyes closed, and the wind was blowing through her loose hair that had slipped out of her hairpin.
"Oh!" Qin Wei zoomed in on the screen with her fingers.
"There's a white wagtail flying in the sky."
Gu Minghua: "?"
Qin Wei handed the camera back to Gu Minghua and explained,
"Not in vain is it the southwest, the kingdom of birds. If only I could capture other birds as well."
"Miss Qin... do you like birds?"
"Not really. I was just pondering over what kind of materials I should collect, but suddenly I had an idea."
Seeing Gu Minghua's willingness to listen, Qin Wei continued,
"Sounds, various pleasant sounds found in nature, collecting them and incorporating them into compositions. What do you think?
For example, the sound of wind blowing over the river, the sound of rain hitting the leaves, the sounds of different bird calls. Some bird sounds are truly beautiful, especially the canaries. They exert peer pressure on other birds, while some others... not so much."
A smile spread across Gu Minghua's face as he watched Qin Wei enthusiastically share the various sounds she wanted to record. Suddenly, he understood her feelings.
Inspiration often bursts forth in an instant, sometimes triggered by unrelated things.
Gu Minghua said,
"I am willing to support you as much as I can, Miss Qin."
Qin Wei took out a recording device from her bag, a portable high-quality audio recorder that was given to her along with a camera by the brand when she got off the plane, making it convenient to capture sound while recording videos.
Having this is enough.
