"Cut! Okay, I now announce that 'My Deskmate' and 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' have wrapped up filming!"
As soon as Xu Lu said this, cheers erupted from the audience.
"That's fantastic! Two films from the same production team wrapped up filming at the same time—that's unprecedented in the entire film industry, isn't it?"
"I have to say, I've been a bit schizophrenic lately, having to watch two movies at the same time."
I really admire Director Xu; he not only directed two films but also starred in two of them.
"Yes, most people couldn't handle this, let alone the two female leads who are secretly competing with each other."
"Filming has finally wrapped! I'll never dare to participate in a campus youth film again, it's too sweet."
...
The crew members were all talking about the two-month filming process.
The actors, including Dilraba Dilmurat and Liu Yifei, all breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the filming in Xu Lu's area wasn't rushed, the days were relatively easy.
But since there's a role to play, no one can truly relax completely.
Only after hearing the words "filming is over" can one truly put down the burden on their shoulders.
"After filming this movie, I need to take a good rest and give myself a long vacation. I'm sure Mr. Yang won't refuse, right?"
Dilraba, one of the female leads, spoke first.
Xu Lu smiled upon hearing this and said:
"Is it really necessary to go through all this trouble? Should I call Boss Yang right now and ask him for leave?"
"No need, I'll treat myself!"
Dilraba was tempted for a moment, but ultimately shook her head.
However, she soon discovered, to her dismay, that Xu Lu had made a promise to the actors of Da Xu Culture, including Liu Yifei and the others:
"Everyone has worked hard. You can take a good rest now."
Especially for Yifei, three months of filming must have been tough, she should relax a bit now!
Liu Yifei smiled gently, and then said:
"Director Xu, we're all fine. Actually, you're the one who's been working the hardest in the whole crew."
Not only did he have to direct, but he also played two of the most significant roles; that's truly remarkable.
Hearing this, Dilraba blinked speechlessly, thinking to herself:
"Why wouldn't I say that? Look how happy Xu Lu is just from hearing it..."
In fact, Xu Lu didn't act as happy as Dilraba secretly thought.
He just smiled and said:
"Alright, everyone, stop flattering each other. Everyone's here today. I've already had Xiaoxia book a restaurant. We'll have a dinner party tonight, and we won't leave until we're all drunk!"
"Thank you, Mr. Xu!"
Upon hearing this, everyone cheered in unison.
Although this kind of dinner is a traditional event that Da Xu Culture holds every time a film wraps up.
However, in projects directed by Mr. Xu, this segment is usually exceptionally rich and of a higher standard.
This is one of the reasons why the crew members always eagerly sign up whenever our CEO Xu has a project.
As for the 'second reason', it's because Xu Lu would randomly select people from the crew to be extras.
Not only do extras receive high extra pay, but they can also become famous, and some actors even command high prices after leaving the industry.
For many people, this is a shortcut to advancement, much more reliable than waiting around in film studios.
...
"Autumn truly is the season of harvest. I recently unlocked the ability of 'unparalleled talent'."
I didn't expect that two more dramas would be finished filming now, and the system's rewards have arrived again. I wonder what they will be this time!
Having returned home, Xu Lu finally focused his attention on the system messages in his mind.
[System Owner: Xu Lu]
[Films in which she has appeared: My Old Classmate]
[Film Genre: Youth/School Setting]
Overall film rating: S
[Character Contribution Rating: S]
[Due to the limited variety of skills required for this film, skills will be randomly selected from Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Jingzhou, Zoroastrianism, and other related disciplines!]
This is the first piece of information that appears on the attribute panel, which is clearly a reward that Xu Lu received for participating in 'My Old Classmate'.
In fact, the second message about the rewards for 'Those Years...' is almost identical, only the title is different.
"I didn't expect it to be the same reward as last time for filming 'Living'. It looks like it's going to be another roulette-style lottery."
Xu Lu muttered something to himself, then silently recited:
"Start extraction."
Sure enough, the next moment, a wheel with a golden pointer appeared, and the system gave a random prompt:
[Would you like to spin the wheel for a prize?]
"Turn!" Xu Lu gave the command again.
As the small wheel began to spin wildly, the golden pointer flashed across each of the skills that appeared and lit up.
Several tens of seconds later, the wheel stopped spinning, and a skill was flashing at the tip of the small golden pointer:
Paper Doll Technique
Upon closer inspection, Xu Lu discovered that this 'paper doll technique' was a skill within Taoist magic.
By using this skill, one can bring the paper figures and horses cut out to life and control them.
"Although it can't compare to 'Unparalleled Talent,' it's still pretty good, after all, it's a magical spell."
Moreover, this was just a reward for filming a youth campus drama; gaining this kind of fantasy skill is definitely worth it!
Xu Lu sighed.
He didn't test the new ability he had just acquired, but instead focused his attention on his second chance to win the lottery.
