Chapter 23 Finishing

Kempinski Hotel Imperial Capital is located on the East Third Ring Road, in the Yansha business district, adjacent to the Liangma River. It is a prestigious high-end venue in the capital.

If it weren't for Mr. Li, the richest man, and the people in Zhang Chen's crew, they might never have the chance to come here and spend money in their entire lives.

The dinner was very enjoyable. It was a Kempinski meal and Mr. Li, the richest man, won everyone's favor.

Young, rich, generous, a little bit 'strong', but all the rest are advantages~~
The crew was basically made up of students, and it was their first time to come into contact with such wealthy people, who traveled in a Rolls-Royce and had a bodyguard car leading the way.

He was very generous and gave a red envelope of one thousand yuan right away, yet he was still very approachable.

When drinking, no matter who proposes a toast to you, you should drink it without hesitation, and never look at the other person's offer.

At the same time, the story of Mr. Li, the richest man, was quietly spread within the crew through the mouth of Old Li.

When he was studying, his father died. He returned to China as a student to take over the family business. Many people watched him coldly, waiting to see him make a fool of himself. However, Li, the richest man in China, took a different approach and invested in the investment field. He achieved success and led the company to leapfrog development.

This is a plot that only happens in TV dramas, but it actually happened around them.

The story was spread as gossip among the crew, especially among the girls.

Young, rich, successful, and still single~
Isn’t this the template for the wealthy son-in-law in Hong Kong dramas?

Girls all have some fantasies to a certain extent.

In the next few days, several actresses who were supposed to leave the group did not leave, and found various reasons to get closer to Mr. Li.

It is said that there are people knocking on the door at night.

It is unknown whether Mr. Li was amused or not, but this made Zhang Chen feel extremely upset. How come he, a reborn person, could not compare to a rich second-generation?
It's been more than half a month now. I've left the door open for them every day so that they can come and ask me for advice on acting. Are you here?

No one knocked on the door.

This level of blindness is comparable to that of Xu Jiawen. How can she still want to be famous?

You deserve to be called tools who don't even deserve a name.

In the following days, Mr. Li appeared on the scene almost every day. He did not interfere with the filming, but he did not hide his purpose - Che Xiao.

Che Xiao was confused at first. How could she become the public enemy of women overnight?

Now the only ones who are willing to play with her are Zeng Li and Chen Xi.

It is a proud thing to be pursued by outstanding people, not to mention that there is a campus beauty from the Central Academy of Drama next to her. Mr. Li just happened to fall in love with her, which made Che Xiao secretly happy.

But even though she was secretly happy, Mr. Li's appearance was not her ideal type, so Che Xiao rejected his pursuit at first.

But Mr. Li, the richest man, was very calm and clearly prepared for a protracted war.

Mr. Li made it clear that he wanted to be the guardian knight. Che Xiao would pour out her happy troubles to the two sisters from time to time, but she didn't know that the sisters had already been turned against her.

Zeng Li and Chen Xi had already known everything about Che Xiao, including what she liked to eat, what she hated, what books she liked to read, and what colors she preferred. They made a lot of money from it.

While Che Xiao was worried about being pursued, Zeng Li actually had her own struggles. She found that she seemed to have some different feelings for Zhang Chen.

There are actually traces of this.

Looking at the entertainment industry, actresses usually end up in one of two ways - as photographers or directors.

People like Wan Qian, Mei Ting, and Yao Chen all ended up marrying photographers, while Jiang Wenli, Chen Hong, Xu Fan, Zhang Yuqi, and Zhou Yun all married directors.

Is Zhang Chen a good director? Of course he is. Zeng Li is very sure. Although he is not one now, he will definitely be one in the future.

She admired Zhang Chen's talent, but was unsure about the other side's attitude.

She also discovered in the past two days that Zhang Chen always liked to stare at her long legs no matter what. This made her happy and a little nervous, but she didn't know what he was thinking. Maybe he just simply liked long legs?

What she wants is a stable relationship.

While Zeng Li was struggling, there was progress on the side of Mr. Li, the richest man. The silver bullet offensive and meticulous care finally made Che Xiao waver.

On the first day, Mr. Li wanted to send Che Xiao back to the hotel, but was rejected.

The next day, I was rejected again.

On the third day, I still refused.

On the fourth day, Mr. Li invited her again. After some hesitation, Che Xiao finally got into the Rolls-Royce. Che Xiao: I really don’t like his money. Whether he has money or not has nothing to do with me. I just like him as a person.

Other actresses: Bah, you slut, guess whether we believe it or not.

The onlookers: Well, who knocked over the vinegar pot? It smells so vinegary.

The actresses finally left the crew, and the filming of "Dark Invasion" went very smoothly. The relationship between Che Xiao and Li Shoufu also developed rapidly. In the crew, the two had become an open couple.

During a break in filming one day, Zhang Chen suddenly found Mr. Li, the richest man: "Mr. Li, we are going to shoot that outdoor scene tomorrow. One of the scenes was originally planned to be a guest appearance by Uncle Li, but he hasn't had a good rest recently, and his face is a little swollen, so he doesn't look good in photos. Can you help out with the guest appearance and save the day~"

The scene Zhang Chen was talking about was the last scene of the film, where Xia La escaped from the devil's cave and was rescued by a truck driver on the road.

Originally, this scene was arranged for Lao Li. This kind of role does not require any acting skills, so it is just right for Lao Li to satisfy his desire.

But later, Lao Li found him and wanted to give the role to Li Shoufu.

It is said that he is an evergreen in the group. He was favored by the old chairman and is still standing firm after the new chairman took office. Just his vision is enough to admire him.

Mr. Li is not stupid. He knows that things like swollen face are just excuses, but when he heard that there was a chance to be in the same frame with Che Xiao, he was of course willing, but he still remained reserved.

"Can I?"

"Of course, no problem."

"Okay, since Director Zhang trusts me, I'll give it a try."

Successful people are very confident, even conceited.

In the past few days, he also observed the filming of the movie up close. Deep down, he really doesn't think there is anything difficult about making a movie.

I can definitely do it.

Just by looking at the expression of Mr. Li, Zhang Chen knew that he understood everything and was grateful for the favor between him and Old Li. He couldn't help but admire Old Li in his heart. It is said that old people are always wise.

The location shooting went smoothly, and that shot was not difficult and passed in one take.

However, in order to satisfy him, Zhang Chen specially clicked it once and asked Mr. Li, the richest man, to perform it again.

As soon as Mr. Li was happy, the crew had an extra meal in the evening. Zhang Chen couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had known that he was so easy to fool, he would have brought him here earlier.

The filming went very smoothly over the past few days, and in the blink of an eye it was time for the last shot, which was the scene where Shara escapes from the cave.

In the original version, Xara’s escape from the devil’s cave was just a dream. Zhang Chen’s version is not so desperate, and he is even thinking about making a sequel.

The slope leading out of the cave was man-made and was filled with the skeletons of various animals.

This shot is actually a green screen composite. The slope and the skeleton model on it are scaled-down versions because there is not enough depth of field in the studio.

Shoot the ramp first, then shoot Shayla climbing out separately on green screen.

Later on, these two scenes will be combined into one using special effects, becoming the most classic scene in the entire movie.

"Crack!"

After the last shot was taken, everyone looked at Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen knew what everyone was waiting for. He stood up with a smile and picked up the microphone: "I declare that the filming of "Dark Invasion" has been successfully completed."

As the filming was announced, everyone cheered.

Wrapping up a film means that the job has come to an end, it also means that there will be one more item on their resume, and it also means that a sum of money will be deposited into their account immediately.

Zhang Chen also had a lot of emotions. No matter what the dream was like, this was the first movie he had made in his life.

Dou Wentao said in the Round Table that the director knew whether the movie was a bad one before it was finished.

Zhang Chen now knows very well that his movie is not a bad movie, on the contrary, it is excellent.

He is confident that this film will achieve even better results in this time and space than the original one.

After the cheers died down a bit, Zhang Chen said emotionally: "I sincerely thank you all, thank you to all the actors for your wonderful performances, thank you to the makeup team for their lifelike skills, and thank you to all the behind-the-scenes staff for their hard work. Each of you is indispensable, even our President Li contributed his first screen performance..."

At this point, the atmosphere, which was originally somewhat sentimental, suddenly became joking, and everyone laughed and said, "We used 200 million to create a good movie. I promise here that if the box office of this movie is okay, I will definitely give everyone a big red envelope. As for tonight's wrap-up party, everyone will not leave until they are drunk..."
