Aqi accepted the order, and Liu Yun repeated the same words to Zhang Linyuan.

Now that we're here, we shouldn't just focus on her safety; it's good for the entire crew to keep an eye on her as well.

If an accident is discovered, it could be a lifesaver.

Besides, it's good to train Zhang Linyuan's observation, discernment, and logical analysis skills...

Zhang Linyuan readily agreed, and when he sat down next to the director, everyone thought he was a newly debuted actor!

Later, they discovered that Zhang Linyuan was always hanging around Liu Yun, and some people in their wits' end even thought he was Director Liu's boyfriend!

After all, although Liu Yun has a high status and a powerful background, her age is a factor.

It took a while before I realized he was a bodyguard...

Many people were a little confused. These days, do bodyguards need to be good-looking? He looks so young.

The male lead's good looks could not escape the eyes of the public.

If it weren't for the ensemble cast, I would have thought he was the lead actor in a role.

Liu Yun: "...His ambitions lie elsewhere."

Why bother creating a script specifically for someone?

Zhang Linyuan's life is a grand production.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a little regretful. This was someone who was born with a silver spoon in their mouth, someone whom God had bestowed upon them to have this kind of job, but they didn't take it.

It's true what they say, comparisons are odious.

Zhang Linyuan: ...He's been so low-key, how could anyone still notice him!

With Liu Yun in charge, the atmosphere on set remained harmonious.

People who used to feel uncomfortable unless they were constantly arguing or fighting would find it hard to imagine working like this.

There's always going to be conflict among the actresses on set; if you don't do anything, someone else will.

The first to strike wins, the last to strike suffers; those who try to steal the spotlight and steal the limelight are constantly emerging with all sorts of ulterior motives.

Everyone's attention is focused on being on guard, and they're on edge while acting. How can they possibly concentrate fully on getting into character?

There are reasons why someone's acting is bad and they don't perform well.

Sometimes, there's even a worry that the director, production team, or publicity capital might use it as a scapegoat to generate buzz.

Normally, there aren't that many distracting factors. Under the director's direction, and with the use of filming techniques as a foundation, it's impossible for the audience to see the "poor acting" option.

It's not like a bunch of talented actors are there to make her stand out.

The main characters and important supporting characters are the only ones who stand out; everyone else is just there to highlight them. If you can still tell that their acting is bad, then it's really their own problem.

Therefore, Liu Yun's crew had a good atmosphere, she didn't have to worry about so many off-set factors, and everyone there was a talented actor she could discuss and work with.

As for the publicity surrounding the sacrificial ceremony... that's hilarious. It seems like Liu Yun's dramas never get any publicity.

Not to mention using actors to create buzz.

As long as Liu Yun wants, she can generate buzz the moment she shows her face.

In this reassuring atmosphere, one unconsciously focuses more on acting.

The filming process went much more smoothly afterward.

Seeing that Zhang Linyuan was also staring at the monitor, Liu Yun took a sip of water and said during a break, "Interested?"

Zhang Linyuan shook his head: "I just find it somewhat interesting."

"I've seen other film crews before, and some actors don't act well when they start filming, but when they're not filming, they act incredibly naturally."

"Life is full of drama, but work is not going well."

Liu Yun: "It seems you've grasped the essence."

"For these film crews, the off-screen drama is much more exciting than the on-screen drama."

"Coordination is a rather complicated process. Not everyone is so conventional as to consult with others before doing anything."

"Most of the time, people just step on it directly. It's an accepted practice in the industry, and they don't usually bother to clarify it."

"Many times, you can only be careful, cautious, and on guard."

"To be honest, the quality of a work ultimately speaks for itself; all the other miscellaneous things are not the right path."

Zhang Linyuan clicked his tongue and shook his head: "Not surprising, every industry has its own little tricks."

For example, the various research institutes in the past.

It's only because the current controls are tight that many malignant tumors have been eliminated and many ulterior motives have been suppressed; otherwise, it would have been very difficult.

Liu Yun: "It's normal; it's a negative consequence of development."

Every industry needs fresh blood. When old people leave and new people come in, a lot of things will be generated in the process of replacement.

Moreover, with the changing times and the evolving market, it's normal for conflicts to arise, sometimes due to a shortage of personnel and sometimes due to a surplus.

Otherwise, how can we talk about the seven emotions and six desires of human beings?

After chatting and resting for a while, we continued filming. Everyone was in good spirits and cooperated well, making progress very encouraging.

The daily shooting schedule can be completed without staying up late. Working early allows everyone to rest early, and when everyone is well-rested, shooting goes more smoothly, creating a virtuous cycle.

Everyone knows that Liu Yun's works are completed very quickly in post-production, so it doesn't matter if the shooting schedule is postponed.

As long as there isn't too much backlog, the actors don't experience that much psychological pressure.

A sense of relaxation applies to many situations.

After a week of filming, the grand opening scene is about to begin: three thousand gods and demons battling Pangu.

Because the venue needed to be properly prepared, various props needed to be prepared, and there were many people who needed to be looked after, Liu Yun gave the actors two days off and asked the backstage staff to hurry up and prepare what needed to be done.

After leaving the assistant director to watch over her, Liu Yun planned to go back to the villa to rest.

Aqi: ...You're already taking a break after only one week of work?

Isn't this the ideal state of being a lazy bum that the host desires?

After returning to the villa with Chef Li and Zhang Linyuan, Liu Yun's secretaries and assistants became less frequent.

Whoever is available under Lin Ying can be ordered around by Liu Yun.

The assistants usually have a small group chat where they write down all the work. This is because a bad pen is worse than a good memory, and it also keeps everyone informed about the work.

When we switch back, we can connect immediately without wasting time on handover.

Liu Yun thought this was fine, since she still needed to use him, so she never considered getting a permanent assistant.

In the past, the people we recruited at the beginning went to be agents. Later, we got Xie Xuan. Although we had different backgrounds, she was still quite useful.

Now, Zhang Linyuan and others can handle some special matters, and temporary assistants can do ordinary things, so there is really no need to bring a personal assistant.

Otherwise, how will we arrange the gap period after the movie is finished?

Are you just going to take a salary without doing any work?

That would attract a lot of envy!

Now, the assistants who work for her are paid extra for overtime, which means they earn double the money. They are not only proactive but also very dedicated and capable.

Liu Yun's overtime pay is high, and the amount she can earn is limited.

The assistants worked well together and wanted to take over the whole thing. Who would complain about making too much money?

If you don't want things to go wrong, someone else has to step in; otherwise, they might not be able to make any money in the future.

Therefore, they created that small group to do this job well, to protect it, and to prevent outsiders from interfering.

When Liu Yun was busy, they checked this small group chat most frequently when she needed instructions, just in case she missed something and the person who took over didn't handle it well, causing a major blunder.
