Chapter 732 Luxury Team
Shao Yun led Charlotte up the stairs to the second floor of the Debo Hotel.
When the two arrived at the room where the filming team was, Shao Yun shouted to the idle crowd: "I'm back! And I also invited Charlotte!"
Hearing Shao Yun's voice, Xavier raised his head suddenly and looked at Shao Yun and Charlotte in disbelief.
His eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Mr. Shao Yun, you actually invited Charlotte here! This is incredible!"
Charlotte seemed very calm and composed. She smiled and waved to everyone, saying in a clear voice: "Hi, everyone! I'm glad to work with you!"
Xavier was stunned by the scene before him. He felt like it was all a dream.
Funina is the chief director, Shao Yun is not only an investor but also an action director, and now Charlotte has also joined in as a photographer.
This lineup is simply a dream.
However, Xavier did not realize at this time that the next lineup would be even more luxurious!
But that was all later. At the moment, he was so shocked by the lineup in front of him that he was a little overwhelmed.
He walked forward slowly, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Um... Mr. Shao Yun, how much did you spend to invite Miss Charlotte?"
Before Shao Yun could answer, Charlotte quickly interrupted him, shook her head, and said, "I don't need Mora as a reward."
"As long as you can allow me to conduct an exclusive interview for your championship team, Mr. Xavier!"
On the way, Charlotte thought to herself that it would not be enough to just interview Funina. Wouldn't an exclusive interview with the award-winning team of the Thousand Spirits Film Festival be even more exciting?
When Xavier heard that Charlotte was going to interview him, and it would be an exclusive interview, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Ms. Charlotte, you are so confident! The film hasn't even started shooting yet, how come you are already talking about an exclusive interview with the award-winning team?"
Charlotte smiled and shook her head, then said seriously: "Mr. Xavier, I have full confidence in Lady Funina's vision! This film will definitely be a great success and win first prize!"
"So, the exclusive report of this winning team is much more valuable than Mora!"
Xavier silently weighed the pros and cons in his mind. He thought to himself, "Although Miss Charlotte is so confident in this movie, the results of the competition haven't come out yet. Anything can happen."
"If we can really win the prize, that would be great. But if we don't win, wouldn't Miss Charlotte be at a big loss? We still need to discuss it further..."
However, before Xavier could speak, Charlotte waved her hand, interrupting his thoughts, and then said confidently:
"Mr. Xavier, don't worry! My intuition is always accurate. This film will definitely win an award!"
Seeing that Charlotte was so confident, Xavier didn't know what to say.
After all, the budget is sufficient now, and even if he does not win the award in the end, he is fully capable of paying the team's salaries.
So he nodded, agreeing to Charlotte's proposal.
Xavier counted the current team members, and then said with satisfaction: "Well, now the photographer has been selected and everything else has been arranged. We can officially start shooting tomorrow!"
Shao Yun looked at Xavier's confident look, but suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Is this team missing something?
After some thought, he suddenly realized that if Xia Wulei could not come to the filming, then wouldn't he have to play the leading role?
Thinking of this, Shao Yun couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Although he knew that acting was acting and that it was different on and off stage, he did not have much confidence in his acting skills.
It’s not that Shao Yun feels that he can’t play the role well, but his acting range is too narrow…
After all, his strong and intimidating temperament is far different from the ignorant and bullied image of the male protagonist.
"What should I do?" Shao Yun secretly complained in his heart, "It would be a joke for me to play a role like this!"
At this moment, Shao Yun suddenly had an idea.
He decided to take the initiative to make a suggestion to Xavier, which might solve this problem.
So, Shao Yun cleared his throat and said to Xavier: "By the way, Xavier, regarding the action guidance, I think we might as well find a few more people to help."
Xavier scratched his head in confusion when he heard Shao Yun's words and asked, "What do you mean? Why do we need to find more action directors?"
Shao Yun's eyes rolled, and he quickly explained: "It means literally, there is strength in numbers! Finding a few more action directors can not only increase creativity and inspiration, but may also bring some unexpected benefits."
Xavier looked at the investor "Shao Yun" in front of him and felt that there were not enough people. However, is the team still short of people? But he himself couldn't say much.
After all, the financial sponsor is the final decision maker. Since Shao Yun believes that more helpers need to be recruited, he can only obey his wishes.
Xavier hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "Mr. Shao Yun, if you feel that you really need to add more manpower, then of course there is no problem."
"As long as you, as the investor, believe that this will not exceed the budget, I completely agree with you..."
When Shao Yun heard Xavier's answer, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He immediately responded, "That's great. I'll go find a suitable helper right away."
……
After leaving the Debo Hotel, Shao Yun rushed to the security headquarters without stopping.
Because of the "Le Si case", Ying once suggested that he make more friends, so in this case, Shao Yun gave her a lot of help.
Because of this, the banned substance "Les" was completely eradicated, and Xiawolei did not track down the remaining Les as she had originally done.
At this moment, Xiawolei was leisurely staying in her office, secretly eating delicious French fries.
Just as she was enjoying this moment of leisure, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Xiawolei quickly hid the fries in her hand in the drawer, and then asked calmly, "Who is it?"
The door was pushed open, and Shao Yun walked in, smiling and greeting, "Hello, Miss Xiawolei."
When Xiawolei saw this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, but she quickly regained her composure.
She responded nonchalantly, "Oh, it's Mr. Shao Yun. Long time no see. I remember a long time ago, I told you that I wanted you to be our instructor. What? Do you have time now?"
Shao Yun smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry, I haven't had the time. Besides, I think your special training team doesn't need an extra coach with you here."
After listening to Shao Yun's praise for her, Xia Wo Lei said calmly: "There is no point in complimenting me. What's the matter?"
Shao Yun went straight to the point and told her the purpose of his visit.
"I'm here because I want to find you for a part-time job, and the pay is good."
Afterwards, Shao Yun told her that he wanted to invite her to be the action director of "The Two Gunmen".
Xia Wulei was stunned and muttered, "You mean "The Two Gunmen"? "
Shao Yun nodded and said seriously: "That's right..."
Xiawolei thought for a moment and responded, "No problem, I agree. As for the reward, how about a favor from you?"
Seeing Xia Wolei asking for his favor, Shao Yun complained, "Favors are more expensive than Mora... But, it's a deal. See you at the Debo Hotel tomorrow."
……
After looking for Xia Wulei, Shao Yun went to look for Clorinde without stopping.
Following the system's instructions, he arrived downstairs at the apartment where Clorinde lived.
Standing at the door, Shao Yun took a deep breath, then knocked on the door gently, and asked politely: "Claulinde, are you home?"
After a while, the door slowly opened and Clorinde appeared at the door.
She looked at Shao Yun in surprise, obviously not expecting his sudden visit.
"Master? Why are you here? Please come in!" Clorinde invited enthusiastically.
Shao Yun smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No, I won't go in. I have a part-time job here, and I wanted to ask if you are interested."
Clorinde looked at Shao Yun curiously and asked, "What part-time job is that? Tell me about it."
Shao Yun said directly: "It's like this, a friend of mine is making a movie and needs an action director. I think you are suitable, so I came to ask you."
After hearing this, Clorinde pondered and said, "Action director for filming? That sounds interesting."
Shao Yun nodded and continued to explain: "Yes, it is to guide the actors' movements and postures when filming action scenes."
"However, this job may require you to follow the crew around, which may have some impact on your work as a duel agent."
Clorinde thought for a moment, then answered readily, "No problem. The work of a duel agent is relatively flexible. I can rest when I want. It won't delay me."
Shao Yun was relieved to see Clorinde agreed so readily. He continued, "That's good. The pay for this job is quite generous."
Clorinde smiled and said, "The compensation is secondary. The main thing is that I am quite interested in this job."
Shao Yun was secretly delighted to see that Clorinde had agreed, and immediately asked, "Well, how about I take you to the second floor of the Debo Hotel to meet the team?"
Clorinde thought about it for a moment and decided that since she had nothing to do at the moment, it would be no harm to meet the team, so she readily agreed.
……
Shao Yun took Clorinde back to the second floor of the Debo Hotel.
As soon as he entered the room, Shao Yun shouted to the filming team: "I'm back! Is Xia Wolei here?"
Before he finished speaking, Xia Volei raised her hand and responded, "I'm here! I came here right after I finished talking to you."
Shao Yun nodded, then turned his gaze to Xavier, only to see Xavier looking at Xiawolei with suspicion, then looked at Clorinde who was following behind Shao Yun, seemingly a little confused.
He hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Captain Xiawolei and Clorinde, what is going on?"
Seeing this, Shao Yun hurriedly explained to Xavier: "Do you even need to ask this? Clorinde is the action director I specially invited!"
When Xavier heard the word "action director", his eyes widened and he asked in confusion, "Action director? But, haven't you already taken on this position?"
Of course Shao Yun would not tell the truth. He couldn't tell Xavier that he found an action director to replace him just to be lazy.
"Haha, even though I'm the action director, I'm not a 'professional' after all."
"One of these two is proficient in short rifles, and the other is proficient in long rifles. They are both professionals. With the guidance of these two, it will seem more realistic and interesting."
Xavier had a puzzled look on his face regarding Shao Yun's explanation, and it was obvious that he still didn't fully understand it.
"Then, Mr. Shao Yun, according to what you said, you are not a professional?"
Shao Yun smiled slightly when he heard Xavier's question, then pointed at himself and answered with a hint of self-mockery: "Me? Haha, if I were to teach them, I'm afraid those actors wouldn't be able to learn it in a short while."
"And the moves I taught you are definitely not fancy enough and not at all entertaining."
Clorinde, who was standing by, nodded in agreement when she heard Shao Yun's words and interrupted, "I can attest to this. Master's gun skills are indeed unique."
"During the fight, he drew his gun so quickly that I couldn't even see it."
Xavier scratched his head and began to understand what Shao Yun said.
“So, if this technique is used in reflections, it may not look very beautiful.”
Shao Yun smiled and said, "That's why I said I'm not suitable to teach them. But it doesn't matter, adding more manpower is always a good thing."
Xavier heard Shao Yun's words, and his doubts disappeared. He said gratefully: "Well, Mr. Shao Yun, you are so thoughtful. I don't know how to thank you."
Shao Yun waved his hand and said casually: "You don't have to be so polite. As long as you can film well and make a wonderful work, it will be the best thank you to me."
Xavier cleared his throat and began to talk about tomorrow's shooting schedule.
"The official shooting will have to wait until tomorrow. We will shoot some scenes first. Today the actors will do some simple rehearsals..."
"Tomorrow, we will be on the second floor of the Debo Hotel to officially shoot the first scene of the script."
When he heard that the filming was still going to be at the Debo Hotel, Shao Yun couldn't help but frown and asked suspiciously, "No way, we are not short of money now, can't we rent a real aristocratic house?"
“Although the interior of the Debo Hotel is pretty good, it still lacks a bit of charm!”
Of course Xavier wanted to, but time was running out and it was too late!
He sighed helplessly and explained, "It's too late in terms of time. I was planning to wait until the last scene of the filming to rent a better location, so that the whole show can have a perfect ending."
