Chapter 22: Mr. Li visits the set

Chapter 22: Mr. Li visits the set

We filmed for a few more days, during which time Teacher Fu would occasionally come over.

He was afraid that Zhang Chen would get stuck on some points since it was his first time directing. But after coming a few times, he found that Zhang Chen was very comfortable with the job, so he gradually stopped coming.

Zhang Chen controlled the progress very well and did not exceed the deadline, which made him very pleased.

The scene we are shooting today is a very important one, which is the scene where Sharla injures Juno, which is considered a climax of the whole film.

A second ago, the two were fighting side by side to resist the monster's attack.

The next second, Xiala, who had just escaped danger, injured Juno, completing the same cycle as Yang Xiaoyue.

In Xia La's view, this was a punishment for Juno, a punishment for what she had done to Yang Xiaoyue and a punishment for having an affair with her husband.

But in Juno's view, this was Shala's betrayal of friendship.

I would have my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon illuminates the ditch.

I was determined to find Shara, protect her, save her, and prevent the monster from hurting her.

But after the person you protected was safe, he turned around and pushed you into the abyss.

That kind of heart-wrenching pain~
This scene is quite difficult, and it is considered the most difficult scene to perform in the entire film.

This scene was not originally scheduled to be filmed today, but Zhang Chen felt that everyone was in good shape recently, so he moved it up.

"Che Xiao, Zeng Li, please prepare your emotions. We will start shooting in ten minutes~~"

Zhang Chen asked the two leading actors to be prepared. The shooting of this scene was not going smoothly and failed several times in a row.

In this scene, Xia La and Juno are at odds with each other, so Xia La, played by Juno, needs to act freely, but Che Xiao, played by Zeng Li, needs to hold back.

Zhang Chen called out "Cut" several times in a row, as he always felt something was wrong.

In fact, both Che Xiao and Zeng Li performed well, but this scene was too important. It was considered the most valuable scene in the whole play, and Zhang Chen always wanted to make it perfect.

Just as he was about to pick up the cup to drink some water, he noticed Lao Li walking towards him in a hurry.

Judging from the other person's expression, it was obvious that something was wrong.

"Uncle Li, what's wrong?"

"Director Zhang, I'm here to tell you that our CEO Li might come to visit the set."

In private, Lao Li might call Zhang Chen Xiaochen, but when working, he always calls him Director Zhang.

Zhang Chen was confused at this moment. Richest man Li was coming to visit the set?

"When?"

"About half an hour later. I got the news at the last minute."

in such a hurry?
Just as he was about to say something, Old Li added, "But Director Li has instructed that we must not hold any ceremonies or delay the filming. We should just do what we normally do."

Zhang Chen looked at Lao Li's expression and couldn't figure out whether he was speaking the truth or the truth.

"Okay, I see."

It was not the first time for Zhang Chen to visit a set. At worst, he could just praise the other party when they came.

However, he still sent Cao Bingkun to guard the door of the studio and notify him in advance if he saw the richest man Li coming.

Ten minutes later, the break was over and the filming resumed. Zhang Chen returned to work. Just as he was about to shout "start", the intercom suddenly rang: "Chenzi, a team of cars is coming towards our studio. I see one of the cars looks like a Rolls-Royce."

"Got it, you retreat first."

Zhang Chen knew that it must be the richest man Li who came, but he did not stop. The investor had come, so it was a good opportunity to show off.

Winking at the executive director
Executive Director: "Everyone be quiet, start the filming."

Cameraman and sound engineer: "rolling."

Script supervisor: "'Darkness' has 76 scenes and 4 takes." Director: "Action!"

Three seconds later, the actors began to perform.

The monster pounced on Juno, and Juno swung a mountaineering pick to nail the monster to the wall. The blood bag exploded, and the nearby monsters were killed one after another.

In front of the camera, the last monster fell, revealing Juno behind it. Juno was covered in blood, like a killer returning from hell, but he looked at Shara with a smile on his face.

Shara had just killed a monster and had his back to Juno, but on the contrary, there was a frosty look on Shara's face.

This scene was specially designed so that the camera could capture the two different expressions of the two people in the same picture to create a contrast.

Juno was waiting for her best friend to turn around so she could give him a victory hug.

When Shara turned around, what Juno got was not a hug, but a cold mountaineering pick.

The sharp pickaxe pierced Juno's calf, and the expression on Juno's face changed from smile to pain, and then to disbelief.

It wasn't until Xia La showed the pendant that Liu Xiaoyue pulled off Juno.

Juno woke up as if from a dream. She wanted to explain something but couldn't say it.

Xia La's eyes were cold, no longer showing the warmth that they once had between good friends.

The performance was still going on, and no one noticed that there were a few more people in the studio. Producer Lao Li was accompanying Mr. Li, standing quietly behind the director, watching the performance.

The roars of monsters could be heard all around, but Xia La did not continue to attack. Instead, she chose to leave Juno to the monsters, just like Juno did to Yang Xiaoyue.

Juno was filled with frustration and had no place to vent, but found herself surrounded by monsters on all sides.

"Click~"

The performance ends here, and although there is no clear picture, Juno's ending is predictable.

Seeing the director yell "Cut", Lao Li came up to Zhang Chen and whispered, "Director Zhang, Chairman Li is here."

Zhang Chen turned around and saw the smiling face of Mr. Li, the richest man.

"Mr. Li, I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person~"

Zhang Chen stood up and shook hands with Mr. Li, then raised his voice to introduce everyone: "Everyone stop what you are doing, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Li, the biggest investor in our play. Mr. Li came here this time because he knows how hard everyone is working, and he came to visit the set."

After Zhang Chen's introduction, everyone was very supportive and greeted him.

Mr. Li had a big smile on his face and waved to everyone: "Thank you for your hard work. I'm sorry for visiting you so late. I brought some fruits and small gifts for everyone. Mr. Li, share some with everyone~"

Old Li immediately took over the conversation and waved, "Everyone, follow me over here. Director Li has prepared red envelopes and fruits for everyone. Everyone will get a share..."

When they heard that there were red envelopes to be given, the crowd immediately became excited. They followed Old Li to the side, leaving space for Li’s richest man, Zhang Chen and others to talk.

It was very lively over there with Mr. Li. Someone who received a red envelope immediately exclaimed, "Wow, a red envelope of 1,000 yuan. Mr. Li is so awesome~"

Immediately, the flattery of "Mr. Li is mighty" resounded through the sky, and the slightly "strong" figure of the richest man Li also became majestic in the eyes of everyone.

Mr. Li was very satisfied with the effect of the red envelopes. He waved at the crowd and took out a few more red envelopes from his pocket: "Director Zhang, Miss Che, these are for you. Thank you for your hard work."

"We have one too?"

"of course."

Zhang Chen thanked him and took it. He squeezed it and it was definitely not one thousand. It felt like the thickness was five thousand.

Che Xiao's reaction should be similar to his. The two of them also followed suit and shouted "Mr. Li is mighty", which made the wrinkles on Mr. Li's face open with laughter.

"Director Zhang, I have ordered dinner at Kempinski tonight. Everyone has worked so hard. Can we finish work early tonight? I want to reward everyone."

"Mr. Li is sending warmth, so of course I can't be the bad guy."

With the announcement of the dinner in the evening, Mr. Li once again received a wave of praise.
