Chapter 241 I Want to Book the Whole Place

“Cut!”

"Feng Yue Jian" has finally finished filming.

Hu Xiaoxiao walked into the dressing room and was about to remove her makeup when Zheng Pingxin, still wearing a tattered Taoist robe and covered in red paint, called out from outside, "Miss Hu, don't remove your makeup yet. Come out and take a few pictures first."

"I'm coming." Hu Xiaoxiao put down her makeup remover and walked out.

Zheng Pingxin and Hu Xiaoxiao said, "Ms. Hu, the fox demon's final appearance is so stunning. I have to take a few photos as a souvenir. I also plan to choose one for the movie poster."

Hu Xiaoxiao's current look is the same as the fox demon look in the last scene where she fought against Wei Yangzi. Her clothes are extremely gorgeous, and her makeup is seductive and beautiful beyond words.

The lips and nails are painted the same color, a bright red that is extremely vibrant. The earrings have a very exaggerated design, which Hu Xiaoxiao designed herself.

This makeup look for the movie poster is both fashionable and weird, and very eye-catching.

Hu Xiaoxiao cooperated very well and walked to the set of the last show, allowing the cameraman to take more than a dozen photos from different angles.

Because special effects in post-production are expensive and unnatural, Hu Xiaoxiao put a lot of effort into the set and styling. Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and the result was excellent, which saved a lot of money in post-production.

After Hu Xiaoxiao's fox demon look was completed, the other actors also came over and wanted to take a family photo to keep as a souvenir.

Hu Xiaoxiao wanted a grand spectacle. This drama had a large cast, and besides the main characters, the supporting roles and extras were much larger than originally planned. Some characters had significant screen time, like the Emperor and the Ninth Prince, and several characters who represented the common people protesting against the injustice of heaven.

There are also many female characters, and each of them is beautiful and unique when dressed up by Hu Xiaoxiao, such as the roles of Wang Shimo's wives and concubines, the emperor's concubines, the common people's women, and there are also several beautiful female monsters among the group of monsters that the fox demon brought with him when setting up the formation.

After taking the family photo, Hu Xiaoxiao treated everyone to a big dinner as a wrap-up party.

"Director Zheng, I'll leave the rest to you." After finishing filming, Hu Xiaoxiao began to let go.

The filming of this drama took so long, and she was exhausted every day. She can finally take a break.

Zheng Pingxin has been in high spirits since filming wrapped. "Leave it to me, don't worry. I'll send it to a reputable company for post-production. I'll let you know when it's released."

"Is the money enough?" Hu Xiaoxiao asked.

"That's enough! You can expect to get paid later." Zheng Pingxin is full of confidence in his new movie.

Hu Xiaoxiao just let it go. After working so hard for so long, it was time to relax. She started looking for delicious food every day.

I wanted to go shopping, but I found out I had no cash, so I had to take two more ads.

The two advertisements Xie Weihua accepted were resources she received after becoming famous. She hasn't taken on any TV dramas recently. If she doesn't get exposure later, fewer advertisers will come to her.

It seems that I can't rest for too long, I have to take on more films.

Just when Hu Xiaoxiao was considering how long to rest before looking for the next movie, Mingxu brought her good news. Sister Dong had returned to Hong Kong and they had an appointment to meet at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.

Mingxu had finished filming his new movie and happened to have some free time, so he made an appointment to go to a seafood restaurant and told Hu Xiaoxiao to remember to bring food with her.

"When have I ever lost to you in eating?" Hu Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

Mingxu also smiled on the other end of the phone and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you tomorrow."

The seafood restaurant Mingxu had booked wasn't far from where Hu Xiaoxiao lived, and it took less than 20 minutes to drive there. By the time she found the private room, Mingxu had already started ordering.

I haven't seen Mingxu for nearly half a year. Not only has he not gained weight, he has lost a lot of weight and has also become darker.

"How's the new movie going?" Hu Xiaoxiao pulled out a chair and sat down, putting his newly bought bag next to him.

"Yes, the filming went smoothly. We just need to wait for the release." Mingxu said with a relaxed look.

However, Hu Xiaoxiao saw that he had lost so much weight, and it must have been difficult during the filming. She did not say anything, but if you want to make a good film, you have to work hard. She also worked very hard when filming "Feng Yue Jian". In order to save time in post-production and to achieve good results, many of the magic and fighting scenes were performed on wires.

Sometimes, in order to show the intensity of the fight, several large hair dryers are added nearby to blow up leaves and sand.

After filming a scene, not only was I hurt all over by the wire rope, but my body was also covered with sand, and my nose and mouth were also filled with sand. The most uncomfortable thing was that sand got into my eyes.

Mingxu ordered an Australian lobster and New Zealand king crab, and a few other dishes that took longer to cook, asking the kitchen to prepare them first. Then he handed the menu to Hu Xiaoxiao. "What are you doing lately?"

Hu Xiaoxiao took the menu and started looking through it. "Filming."

"A new drama?" Mingxu asked. "What kind of drama is it this time? Who's your co-star?"

"It's not a TV series, it's a movie. I just filmed a movie." Hu Xiaoxiao took a look and didn't see anything good to order. He decided to wait for the customers to come before ordering, so he put down the menu.

Mingxu was amazed at Hu Xiaoxiao's efficiency when he heard that Hu Xiaoxiao had already taken on a movie and finished it. "Which company is this movie from, and who is the director?"

Hu Xiaoxiao mentioned Zheng Pingxin, and Mingxu looked bewildered, saying he'd never heard of him. "I'll go to the company tomorrow and ask if there's a film you can direct, a small studio..."

Mingxu didn't have the heart to say how unreliable the film produced by the small workshop was.

If Hu Xiaoxiao had not accepted the offer, Mingxu would have definitely advised Hu Xiaoxiao to give up, but Hu Xiaoxiao had already finished filming, and saying more would have seemed like a sarcastic remark.

Hu Xiaoxiao thanked Mingxu for his kindness and said, "Jincan Company only uses its own artists in its films. Don't bother working for me anymore. Wait until you become the top star."

Mingxu himself has not yet established a firm foothold. If he helps her to ask the company for resources, it will be disadvantageous to him. Therefore, Hu Xiaoxiao has never thought of asking Mingxu for help.

The company only has so many resources, why would you give them to outsiders? Of course, it depends on how much you contribute. So Mingxu said he was asking the company for him, but in fact he was going to make an exchange with the company. Of course, Hu Xiaoxiao had to refuse.

Mingxu saw that Hu Xiaoxiao disagreed, and knowing her character, he said, "When your new movie comes out, I'll book the theater."

This time, Hu Xiaoxiao didn't refuse and said, "One session isn't enough. I have to book two sessions at least."

Mingxu laughed and said it was no problem. He would invite all his classmates, friends, relatives, and neighbors to show up. Then, he told Hu Xiaoxiao about Sister Dong, Dong Peiyu. "I've met Sister Dong a few times and had dinner with her. She's very straightforward and efficient. When she comes, see if you can get along with her. If you can, that's great. But if not, that's fine. I'll find you another one."
