It took a week to film all the necessary scenes at Hengdian World Studios, twice as long as Fang Yang had expected. The main reason was Fang Yang's high standards, but the biggest reason was that the lead actors' acting skills were still raw, and Fang Yang had to give them demonstrations and guidance from time to time. Fortunately, the lead actors were very malleable and listened to Fang Yang's guidance without hesitation, making rapid progress.

From initial stumbles to eventually getting it right in one take, the filming progress visibly accelerated. Not only Fang Yang and Huang Xiaoping were overjoyed, but the entire crew was also extremely happy. The faster the filming progressed, the sooner the crew members could go home. Although they were currently only in the film studio, where food and lodging were guaranteed, most of the filming in the later stages would take place outdoors under harsh conditions. If things continued as they were at the beginning, everyone would suffer terribly.

After filming the scenes in Yangzhou, the crew members took several buses to Qianzhang Yougu in Xinchang. Because of its beautiful environment, Qianzhang Yougu has become a famous tourist attraction. Fortunately, the National Day holiday has just passed, so there are fewer tourists at the attraction, avoiding a lot of trouble.

After a two-hour drive, the crew was immediately struck by the fresh air as soon as they got out of the car, washing away all the fatigue from the journey.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Yang smiled at Zhou Xin, who was getting off the car right after him, and said, "It's been a long time since you've breathed such fresh air, hasn't it? This is practically a forest oxygen bar!"

Zhou Xin stretched lazily, revealing her curves. "It feels so good, like I'm in paradise."

Fang Yang looked away awkwardly and turned to Ni Suqiong, who had just gotten out of the car. "Aunt Ni, are you tired from the journey? You can rest soon. The crew has booked a hotel. Have a good rest and we'll have a nice lunch."

Ni Suqiong laughed and said, "It's alright, this is quite easy. Following Xiaoxin feels like a trip, much easier than my previous job. Besides, the scenery here is so beautiful, it's definitely worth the trip!"

"You'll get used to it. The following filming will be done in the wild, so it might be a bit tough. If you're not used to it, you can rest more at the hotel."

As they spoke, the crew members who got out of the car one after another were all mesmerized. "It's absolutely gorgeous! How did Producer Zhuge find such a wonderful place? It's like a paradise on earth!"

"Yes, yes, Producer Zhuge, have you been to this place before? How can there be such a wonderful place?"

Zhuge Jianming smiled broadly, "I dare not take credit for this. It was all at the request of President Fang. I just came to sign an agreement. Don't be surprised that such a beautiful scenic spot was not noticed by the film company. I don't know how President Fang discovered it. Also, this is only at the entrance of the valley. It is even more beautiful inside. You will know when you go in. I guarantee that you will fill up your phone memory with photos!"

Zhou Xin smiled at Fang Yang, "Producer Zhuge has already confessed, so tell me, which girl did you accompany here to play?"

Fang Yang looked on with a look of reminiscence, "I have indeed been here before!" Seeing Zhou Xin's expression shift from sunny to cloudy, he continued in a deep voice, "That was when I was very young. My mother brought me here once. Those were my most cherished memories, but unfortunately, I can never go back to that time!"

Zhou Xin came over and took Fang Yang's arm. "I'm so sorry, I didn't know it would turn out like this. I think your aunt in heaven would be very pleased to see you like this!"

Fang Yang shook his head, shaking off the deepest memories in his mind. "It's okay, let's go in too. Look, they've all gone in. It's still quite a distance from this entrance to the hotel!"

Zhou Xin looked up and saw that everyone had already entered the scenic area. Even Ni Suqiong was pushing a large suitcase and following behind the group, pouting and saying, "Even my aunt didn't wait for me, humph!"

Fang Yang flicked Zhou Xinxiu's nose with his finger. "Alright, let's go in too. We'll be eating soon." He then reached out and pulled their large suitcases, leading the way towards the valley entrance.

Zhou Xin rolled her eyes at Fang Yang, then strode after him. Once inside the valley, she realized that Fang Yang was absolutely right. The entire valley was shaded by lush trees, with distant mountains and rivers, and the air was several levels better than outside the valley.

After traveling for more than half an hour, they finally stopped in front of a hotel nestled against the mountains and by the water. Most of the crew had already been assigned to their rooms, and there weren't many people left in the lobby. Ni Suqiong had already checked in, and as soon as Zhou Xin arrived, she took her upstairs to rest.

Fang Yang went to the front desk to complete the formalities and saw Huang Xiaoping and Zhuge Jianming still chatting at the coffee table in the lobby. He couldn't help but walk over and ask, "What are you two talking about? Don't you want to go upstairs?"

When Huang Xiaoping and Zhuge Jianming saw Fang Yang approaching, they couldn't help but laugh. "We've been waiting for you, but who knew we'd be waiting for so long? You've been having such a good time you've forgotten all about home!"

"Oh, you two leaders are too kind! Just tell me what you need me to do!" Fang Yang joked with them.

Huang Xiaoping and Zhuge Jianming exchanged a smile and stopped joking with Fang Yang. It was Zhuge Jianming who spoke up: "Everyone has worked hard these past few days, so Huang and I discussed it and decided to let them rest today and tomorrow, relax and have some free time, and then resume filming the day after tomorrow. We would like to ask for your opinion."

Fang Yang had no objection to taking two days off. Besides, he also wanted to take the opportunity to revisit the valley. Once filming officially started, even though he would be on the mountain every day, he wouldn't have the leisure to appreciate it. "Okay, then let's take two days off. You can inform everyone when we eat later so that everyone can relax."

Zhuge Jianming laughed and said, "Okay, I'll let you know in the work group later, so as not to forget anyone."

Fang Yang rubbed his forehead and smiled wryly, "Well, look at how forgetful I am, I forgot we have a work group. Okay, then just let them know, I'll go upstairs to put my luggage away."

Huang Xiaoping stood up. "Let's go up together. I've only been in the car for two hours, and I feel like my whole body is about to collapse. I'm getting old and can't compare to you young people!"

Zhuge Jianming took Huang Xiaoping's luggage and said, "You call yourself old, Huang? You look radiant, just as youthful as ever. You must be missing your wife. Take advantage of your two days off and quickly call her over to see the beautiful scenery in this valley. Let me tell you, when I first came here, I felt like I was in heaven. Even breathing felt like floating on air!"

Fang Yang walked behind the two and stepped into the elevator. He saw Zhuge Jianming excitedly introducing the scenic area to Huang Xiaoping, praising it as unparalleled in the world. Fang Yang was also a little surprised.
